some people just built different with their 20 CR or 40 CDMG pieces

The rng is just ridiculous. It's probably been about 2-3 months since I've had a piece that's gone over 20 CD or 12 CR.

The 20+ something crit rate on that one feather almost gave me a heart attack. Highest I've ever seen before that was 19.4 I think. And then there's me with only 17.4. Damn some people just have all the rng luck in the world don't they?

Thank goodness for characters like Xiao and Miko and Yelan and Yoimiya and Diluc. Building a character that doesn’t have crit rate as an ascension stat is just painful if you’re as good as I am at dodging good crit rolls. Xlice, you should do one of these for people with bad luck. There are some truly, truly awful artifacts out there (I should know, I have half of them) and it would be fun to do a “bad artifact” showcase. I’m talking a full set of Heart of Depths that rolled into nothing but flat def. Truly impressive stuff, my guy.

That Kazuha might as well use the Fillet Blade to match his trailer's weapon

While a lot of these builds are very impressive from a crit perspective and Xlice does give a lot of good advice, I did disagree on several things and builds. Note this is just me rambling lmao At 22:06, I think that Xiao mask is legitimately pretty good, 19.2% ATK is 4 max roll attack and they have a crit rate on top of it and also some flat atk. While technically it could be better, I think it would be deceivingly difficult to actually get a circlet to beat that. Xiao doesn't use Bennett in many of his teams and so atk retains very high value even at 2.7k atk like this Xiao has. The Ayaka build at 20:08, if they run Rosaria as a second cryo unit which is very common for those who don't use Shenhe or Ganyu, then that crit rate is perfect. If they run Venti, then I think the ER is fine as well. Generally though, I feel like almost all of these builds neglected ER too much in order to try to hit max crit value. At such high investment, more offensive stats will not really improve damage as much percentage-wise, and I feel that almost all of the builds could probably achieve better performance if they dropped even 20 CV in favor of 4-5 ER subs. ER is vitally important and if you don't meet those breakpoint thresholds you'll inevitably extend your rotation which is so much more DPS lost then what you gain through more crit subs. The best examples are Xiao, Ayaka, Eula, and Itto. These are four characters that are all burst-based and have ER reqs of around 130-140 in order to have smooth 20 second rotations. Essentially not a single of these four characters showcased in this video actually reached those breakpoints, meaning in actual combat they are prone to rotation extension. A more tame build with around 200 CV but with adequate ER subs will likely outperform these builds in extended runs. Even the Yelan showcased at 24:45, even with so much ER from subs, will likely have energy issues in almost every use case. Yelan ER requirements are some of the highest of any character without the use of Fav Bow. If used Solo, she will often need upwards of 250 ER. Even in double hydro, she will need around 200 ER in order to function properly. And even in Raiden teams, she needs 190 ER. Unfortunately this means that it is essentially never viable to run HP sands with Aqua as it is essentially impossible to get 100 ER from subs (or at least even if it was it would be impossible for it to beat an ER sands with more balanced subs). I feel like a lot of people will watch this video and think that ER is going to be secondary to crit and other offensive subs, whereas in reality you almost always want to reach ER breakpoints before investing heavily into offensive subs. A Xiao with 130 ER and 200 CV will feel much smoother to play and also offer better long-term damage when compared to a 100 ER, 250 CV Xiao. And for characters like Yelan who don't have easy funneling opportunities, reaching those ER breakpoints becomes even more critical. People also severely underestimate how much ER you need on off-field supports like Yelan and Kazuha, more often then not you need 200+ ER if you don't use a fav weapon.

Crazy builds! My Noelle is 54.8% Crit Rate and 248.6% Crit Damage but I still need a couple better artifacts. One day I will get them 😩

mr xlice, please continue doing this series. it's fun to see such high invested builds and it also serves as motivation to farm more since artifact rng gets so tiring. thank you for quality content.

That Itto makes me so jealous. I've been farming the husk domain for months and just got my first crit circlet this week. Most of the substat rolls went to HP 😭

You're awesome Mr.Slice keep working hard we're always with you ❤️🤜🤛

Aight but can we appreciate the fact that the Lithic spear Xiao can have 78/261 stat if he had homa 😱

Love these videos. Thank you and keep em' comin'..:D

This makes me want to start watching the streams bc im real proud of my builds and would love to get some extra opinions on where i can improve.

I'm just so impressed by how quick you calculate everything

6:00 I have never thought I'd live to see an artifact that goes above 18 crit rate... Holy Jesus where do I get this luck

I didn’t even know crit damage rolls could even go into the forties

Tfw I'm somewhat proud of my Yelan build (haven't had time to unlock The Chasm yet, but theoretically she'll have 34k HP, 81/235 crit and 188 ER when I finish leveling her and her bow), but then there's a guy who has all his stats almost as good or even better without having to use an HP goblet to get there Smoge

I love how it’s nice piece very well done

Great vid xlice, sad to see my review wasn't included in the highlight video but entertaining none the less.

2:55 so proud of my girl Noelle, managed to snipe redhorn for her and slowly on my way to triple crowning her... still looking for a better circlet for her though LMAO

Every time I watch one of these videos, the confidence in my own builds magically disappears~ :')

The only 40+ cv artifact I've ever got was on a Noblesse HP cup. Pretty sure I got it from Katherine 🙄

I'm actually more surprised by his ability to find the rolls just by looking at the artifact

I have a challenge / video idea for you, i don’t know what to actually call it but for now I’ll just call it the super smash bros nuzlocke. It’s quite simple honestly, you start a boss rush with only 1 base character (traveler, Lisa, amber or kaeya) You can start with any boss you’d like. No food allowed though Now here is where it gets interesting I think If you kill the first boss for example pyro regisvine you are allowed to pick another character you can play However this character can only be the element of the boss you just killed ( pyro = hu Tao, yoimiya etc) If any character you choose dies you cant use it anymore And the character you previously used to kill the pyro regisvine can no longer be used. I just made this challenge up in my head you can add anything you’d like to it.

This video just shows me how far I still had to go there looking at artifact sets that I would consider godly and saying they still have room to grow meanwhile I’m still AR 36 picking up crumbs for artifacts

I'm so jealous of all these ppl, I got a great feather on set for my childe that rolled all crit rate/damage but wish I had these ppls luck

That Yelan is perfect bruh!! Wow just wow

Wtf was that yelan, I thought mine was almost perfect with 72cr 182cdmg 173 er with sacrifical bow and then that guy comes with absolute perfect artifacts

That noelle glad set is pretty cracked... i had never even seen a 40+ crit damage piece before. that's insane! But upon closer inspection, my bolide has probably better substats at +81% crit rate, +69 crit damage and +804 defense (the latter being what tips this in my favor cuz crit value is a little lower, and def has more value to me than him since i have redhorn). Idk why he doesn't doublecrown her though. Totally should. it's a waste leaving such a strong character half-assed like that.

🌸😻I would be but a humble soul passing by and would behold Noelle upon the thumbnail😻🌸

That yelan build was so similar to mine. Except that guy had hp circlet

nah that last yelan build is insanee

These 45+ Crit value pieces are from another universe to me. I only have one piece on my entire account that rolled 40+ crit value.

Zajef with Kazuha TF the GIGACHAD

Those Noelle artifacts are lovely

I respect u for doing ur math, Xlice

That kazuha build at the end is cursed af defo a zajef build lmao

Each time you loose a 50/50 Hoyo gives these players get 45cv artifacts

i love these vids

damn these godly af

That Itto is way tooooooo beautiful wtf

Absolute JUICERS out here!

I wish I could pull some good artifacts for my Eula...but then again, I also failed on her 5star sword..

i'm convinced these guys stole all the good luck on artifacts from us.

Game has given me 6 1.5 builds but no single artifact over 44CV. Actually ok with that tho as I can play and tune ER for all my main carries without ever swapping artifacts. Never feeding mid level artifacts has slowed me down a bit but having gear on every character feels like a luxury. Would be neat to do an overall artifact rating test with use submitted artifact.good files like that Raiden one from a few months ago but instead of a single build its overall quality of all your 20 pieces.

Unrelated but I really need to know What dendro team comps can I do with Hu Tao? And is burning a good reaction? If so what f2p team comps do u recommend?

What this video taught me is that Mr Xlice does quick math

that itto build makes me cry, some people just have it all. I wonder how many runs that took

That Noelle is a dream. Holy crab.

I got my kazuha day 1 and then triple crowned him and gave him my only 5 star sword which was on ayaka: jade cutter. But my artifacts overall are so unbalanced that he has 96/168 even with a crit damage circlet ;-; I literally have like 50% crit rate from substats

Im using echoes of an offering on heizou, best decission of my life.

I love this series. Seeing different builds and the luck various players have. Especially f2p player builds that are near perfection (like that Yelan). Whales showing off their above average builds, however, isn't impressive.

I would slap crit dmg circlet on that itto with 95 crit rate tbh, bcs that is a bit too excessive, I find 65-70 crit rate is way more than enough

hi xlice! can you do keqing showcase/guide video?

what is the website used at 11:15? also great vid as always mr slice

That Noelle slaps probably hard wtf

the best piece ive ever rolled was a 43 CV anemo dmg bonus goblet on vermillion hereafter. it wasnt even on my own account and im a xiao main D:

5:42 this mans almost has a 50 CV piece just from CRIT Rate alone.

Damn, I can get Yelan with that 171 er with no er timepiece but that health is insane and my hydro pieces are all bad compared to my hp goblets.

Never skip flex day

“Not every build is going to be perfect” Me: Playing since the game was 4 days old and never getting a perfect artifact 🥲

I have a frickin 22 cr 5 cdmg def piece I said "gonna go all crit since main stat is def"

Can you do a video of what max numbers are for what stats, I had no idea what you meant when you were saying some numbers not on the screen.

dude itto with less than 130% ER takes so much time to regen burst

Zajeff best build I've ever seen

I always miss flex streams 😭

15:50 is identical to my gladiator flower 14.4% crit rate 14% crit dmg +42 Elemental Mastery +14 Flat atk

pov: your watching xlice look at flex acc's cuz your acc artifact rolls suck

That Itto makes me jealous, like seriously lol.

Over a year and never seen crit rate like that.

lmao ofc zajef with the thundering kazoo

noelle flower was an actual jumpscare

Ayaka artifact set can give 40% crit rate for free to compensate If anything this is a good build

my kazuha is my main and hes got the near same build but i managed to get him 80/220 crits and more atk build than em and he kinda solos while my team watches.

25:46 I can see the chat saying WYSI

what website is that in this video where people show the picture with all their stats and stuff?

ayato: you...collect these..?

which is the page that they used? cause it looks so cool

I only have one artifact above 50cv, my Noelle's Bolide flower

I've been farming the same domain for about 7 months now and haven't gotten a single (on-set) piece as good as these, the video is good but it also kinda hurts.

25:37 holy shit when you see it

5:55 My eyes... My eyes.... MY EYES.....

my crimson which piece is 40.02 crit DMG viridecent cup is also 27.8 percent crt dmg too...

I would love to flex my future ayato here but my artifacts are on keqing

After 2 and a half years playing this game.. I finally got the best sans ever, 34% cd I don’t think I’ll ever get a sans as good as that and ofc it’s going and the best character in the game xiao

“room for improvement” the godly piece infront of him: 🙁

one of these days I'll throw my main DPS shatter Chongyun, and my giga chad shield thoma in for one of these xD

Correct me if I'm wrong but I seriously think the 4pc Vermillion Xiao would want and Anemo Goblet, no? I mean Xiao would already get so much atk with PJWS passive and Vermillion set bonus, wouldn't an Anemo goblet would be better?

as a kazuha main, that last kazuha HURT- wtf

i also have a circlet that has 31.1% cr as main stat and about 25% cd and it is a wanderer's troupe.

Waiting for the scambox arte :)

I got a 52 crit ratio feather as my Hu Tao’s off set piece and I’m shock……. 14.4 crit tate and 23.3 crit dmg 🤩🤩🤩

We dont talk about the 1k def xiao

Emblem only game bad artifact rolls so I gave up and build my raiden full em. Now I'm doing like 22k per hyperbloom lol

For real the only good artifact in my inventory is a 20 crit rate 7.8 crit dmg echo plume

I got all upgrades on crit dmg but even with that, it didnt even reach up to 40%, only 37% *another day losing a 50/50*

I hope i finish my itto build than i can show the beast i have created

just so people are aware, if you have a constellation 6 Noelle (worth going for btw) Defense is far better than Attack due to how powerful she becomes, she becomes so powerful it is worth sacrificing attack stat for a little bit of defense but this is only at constellation 6

This hurts me so much sees 42% crit dmg my highest being like 24%

4:20 broooo
