YaoYao 2nd Best 3.X unit after Nahida BatChest

what?

I think it'll be pretty hard for them to sell Baizhu with Yao yao being so good. I'd say she's the star of this patch.

@@MrHav1k Yea they need to make Baizhu with like off-field damage, amazing healing, support buff and consistent dendro app like Nahida to be better than Yaoyao but feels like he will not significantly replace her.

@@jyusatsu too bad he is cons-dependant at c0 he has low heal and not great app according to leaks iirc

@@MrHav1k if rumors that he’s a dendro shielder are true, it would actually work really well.

@@skr0gu3 The kit leaks are almost always wrong before beta. They are extremely STC and often just speculation based on guesses. Very recent example is Dehya being a 5* Xiangling who places a tombstone that chases enemies. Not even close to what her burst actually does and even her skill isn’t similar to that. I wouldn’t use them as a point of reference or to place expectations, just as something to consider for your own speculations.

cyno/raiden flashback

@@blueberrycrepes raiden?

@@tardwrangler1019 unless you're playing her hyperbloom teams, raiden pretty much does no damage in the overworld without her burst. if you use her burst, it's most likely overkill and you won't have it the next time you need it due to a lack of energy regen.

@@shiinozaki exactly. Raiden is atleast useful

@@shiinozaki raiden is not the case in over world because you build her with 250+ er so you get the burst back fast enough unlike cyno, xiao and itto who are pretty much useless without burst and rely on supports

this hurts my soul after losing 50/50 to tighnari recently on al haitham banner

Which team u use him on?

Yaoyao generates 5 particles when I tested her and that is insane for a skill. Cough cough Faruzan.

Alhaitham is less better than tignari

@@mickysaif alhaitham is indeed better in terms of AoE and also has slightly higher DPS in an extended rotation, but tighnari has much more burst damage in a much tighter rotation thus support quickswap team better, so keep ur head up!

yup dmc is also a good option with him

The real and only reasons Nahida is his best dendro partner is because she helps fix Alhaithams ER needs and she buffs EM....she's basically any dendros best partner in crime with those attributes Also should probably mention Nahida own dmg is really good

Yeah, it's surprisingly ok. I pulled Nahida knowing that Mihoyo would kneecap dendro res without her but Yaoyao feels like an actual character for once. Guess that's Liyue for you.

@@CreationsFlare yup, the one downside of yaoyao is that she also take a bit of field time

@@Ben-vg6ox I've been having great success with Alhai Yaoyao and double electro, Raiden helps energy matter very little and double electro in general helps energy. I've been using Fischl lately as my fourth, I really like Yae and i think most of the time her field time doesn't matter as much as people complain, but in this team I have nearly full burst uptime so i actually notice the field time a lot. Being able to rotate back and forth between burst -> dps alhai and 3 mirror -> burst -> raiden burst is nice. Feels like you have tons of options based on the exact situation.

Or actually getting Alhaitham.

Wasn’t planning in getting him since i c2 my Nahida and i think she so strong then tried his trial more than once and figured out how to use him and got him at 76pity and won 50/50 and now he’s my favorite next to yae

Al-haitham isn't that fun to play tbh his stans throwing shades at other character play style being boring and saying those are cyno,itto,hu tao Is high copium

I have al-haitham

@@Agnisuriya actually like hu tao and al haitham’s playstyle and they’re two of my current fave to play. goes down to personal preference definitely not just copium lol

Worst case you can play wanderer salad though

I called it and they all said I was dumb.

@@wilburforce8046 you are not dumb. you’re amazing.

@@wilburforce8046 For real, I'm so glad the "Dendro Keqing" narrative is dying/dead 💀

@@froeloe yea I know hehe. They also said Cyno quickbloom would save him and it didn’t kekw. Better then aggrevate though.

One look at his kit would tell you he’s no dendro Keqing and I hate how that meme was everywhere just because of similar gameplay visuals.

I don't get it.

@@joeltoomer3332 feet 🥵🥰😤

@@kunikuzushis I like men and I still don't 😭 he's literally just sitting help

coombrain

right? i love it that his dendro infusion is almost as easy as ayaka, which is very useful in overworld stuffs

From a meta perspective there's no reason to pull for him now that we know baizou is gonna be another dendro catalyst user meaning better at dendro application than haitham and nahida is always there

@@nknown3982 but in f2p perspective his scaling at C0 is higher than nahida at level 10 talent

​@@markjunlibrado9664wait really?

@@velda7454 yes in his situation since we're talking about C0 its becuz of his faster attack speed and better scaling Nahida E at lvl 10 is 185.5%atk+371.5%em Which at lvl 10 burst the trikarma triggers every 2.05 seconds. Alhaitham E at lvl 10 projectiles is 121%atk+241. 9% em on ONE mirror projection now since THREE mirror is the most optimal one of that is 363%atk+725.7%em Which as you can see almost double the scaling of nahida's tri karma and they always trigger every 1.6 second. Plus these projections can spread 2 times once every proc and the 1.6 second trigger including the spread 2 times on every proc is fixed even at lvl 1 (E) talent VS. Nahida tri karma which is always ONCE every 2.05 seconds To summarize its like 1.6 second plus 2x spread in just one proc vs 2.05 second 1x spread in just one proc

@@markjunlibrado9664 ooh, tysm. I was farming his talent material so i can triple crowning him, this just made me more certain to triple crown him (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ (my sec triple crown chara)

Copium

has her kit been leaked already?

@@shubhod9569 💀💀💀

COPIUM

@@shubhod9569 ThoseWhoKnow 💀

same. haitham quickbloom cleared pma at L60 4/4/4 with HOD much faster than my 90 cyno 9/10/10 quickbloom 💀 cyno deserved much better. But maybe its becoz of his element too, electro steals hyperblooms while dendro just gives more application

@@sunghoonkisserThat’s the issue with hypercarry and I hate it so much. Not being able to refresh your buff kinda hurts the team DPS unless you whale the shit out of the character. imagine if Cyno can do split-rotation like Alhaitham or take lesser field time. he would’ve been a hell of a character. While it is healthy for the game, however, I occasionally questioning Hoyo’s decision. like.. do we really need more hypercarry type character ?

Lol

She really is the most character ever, can't wait!

Despairge

But I still think people should get if they like her cus that’s more important than meta

lol meta

their fun is 1mil number not actual gameplay lol

Well they are just primoless...not all player can afford all thing. But the poor thing, bcos they can't afford it then they prefer to hate. Truly sad

Alhaitham is a very safe pull. Strong and versatile. Probably like Ayato.

He clears floor 12 full stars on lvl 7 talents lol

The ones who pretend they want chars for the fun and not for dmg are just the ones who don't understand anything in game mechanics and builds lol ! They gave up on dps because they just can't get them hahahaha :))

The "Al" in Alhaitham means "the" so you can shorten his name to Haitham

@@Ivy-jq6di Sorry and thank you!

Oh, use the Umbrella !! You can battery him with Yaoyao or Nahida ;) 57/130 is totally Ok for him, he wants EM !

Gave me Ayato trauma 💀💀💀

You know Bob Jones too? Lol. 😂his account got a lot of report strikes because people didn’t like his dumb comments. And i heard he took a permanent vacation in heaven. his life is over now.

@@froeloe you sure he’s gone? I want to bully him 😞

W h o ?

@@Weltte You don’t know of the Bob Jones incident?

I think by your criteria Raiden is significantly better. Hutao doesn't need Zhongli or Yelan or C1 either, she's still good with just Xingqiu/Thoma/Sucrose at C0.

@@ddd8828 based Tao + Sucrose enjoyer, severely underrated comp It is true that Yelan turboboosts Hu Tao though

@@ddd8828 No, she's playable with XQ Thoma Sucrose at C0 .... But good ...not really. The dps are low and it's hard to 36* with it. Unless she has the Homa...

@@youcool6185 I'm afraid that is a skill issue

@@ddd8828 Hu Tao definitely needs more investment compared to Haitham quickbloom. Without C1 she can be slightly clunky to play as well. Agreed that raiden is objectively better by the same standards tho. Rational is dumb easy to play and she brings much more value and flexibility.

That’s got to be hard. I was saving up for yelan but I got xingqiu in the lantern rite and just had so much fun with alhaitham on his demo that I pulled. I got lucky and won the 50/50

I use the skill first to replenish the mirrors, and then the CA, sure. But you just use the skill when it's available, if it's not ready, then use a CA , and the skill 4 seconds after.

diona is clunky ?

@@youcool6185 the aiming in her burst is awful

Nahida doesn't really have most of the clunk associated with their model since her range is extremely far, lowing her need for repositioning.

just like an abortion, she died before she could live. just a joke btw, pleaseee dont take it seriously. Abortion rights are human rights, unless its your body, you dont got a right to make a judgement about some other woman.

Yes

No

YESS

True

That's very important : he's super good at C0 with a 4* weapon and 4* supports! So many ratings put Hu Tao at the top , but forget to mention that's with her Homa and C1... Because without she's nothing special. Put Raiden hypercarry at the top, forgot that's with her C2 and Engulfing... And I don't even mention Ayaka top META team that's "just" four 5* chars : Kokomi Kazuha Shenhe ! LMAO!

Yeah…. But Yao Yao is better for the dude 🤡

@@youcool6185 You're chronically skilled issued if you think hu tao is "nothing special" without c1 and homa.

@@notmeee3729 she is, I have her with decent artifacts and xiangling does better with lower talents. Maybe it's because I don't use yelan but you pretty much be better to use xiangling in instead.

The key is mass button lol, i do it consistently with 80-120 ping if i spam the swap button

oh um al haitham seems cool but I don't need him (Nahida and Yaoyao). Watching your vid about him was very interesting regardless. Thank you for the content

You're so based for this

Big w

Lol believing something that's not 100% is pretty dumb I guess

Whiteknight, simp, wasted primos, etc.

Same. And look, it was another Kazuha situation, who would've guessed

...probably wont. No unit in history has ever had a whole overhaul of their kit....and thats exactly what she needs. But no....besttt we can hope for is hp scaling on c0, either good pyro for burgeon or stronger numbers for carry, NA and not burst or else evennnn double hydro cant save her, and......just no healing required and more self healing and more damage mitigation. And then maybeeeee she might be a decent unit...like thats the best we can hope for. otherwise.....well......I mean....there is always mono pyro???....using 3 of the most broken units in the game, but nevermind that.

I think it will be amazing to have the first true 3 star on my account even more if she takes a year+ to get a rerun ! Imagine the value

@@knmrt2760 I mean, we already have Aloy, unless you missed out on 2.2 or whenever it was she dropped.

@@Yoanka I do have her and I'd say calling her a 3 star is being very generous to me she's a 1 star character

@@knmrt2760 Ok, fair point then. I could agree with that. I only ever used her while finishing up my friendship namecard farming during late Inazuma patches, and it was to battery level 22 Chongyun because he felt miles better as the on-fielder than her "dedicated on-fielder" kit.

floor is very low investment. low or no talent levels, no constellations or weapon refinement, correct main stat for artifacts but no sub stat optimization. ceiling is high investment in all areas.

Floor means lowest damage. Ceiling means highest damage.

Yes! Mine has 60/125 and 500 EM, 140 ER, he's perfectly fine and clears the abyss on first run.

@@youcool6185 lol wow, that's the same amount of crit and em as my build, but that's also a lot of er you got there, like twice than mine :)

@@sankaranarayanan4479 cracked artifacts geez 😭

@@sankaranarayanan4479 broww surely you're on Light Foliar 😂

This is kinda funny because alhaitam is also a support for a lot of comps simply because he's dendro, this can also be said about hydro characters (including childe and ayato aswell since both of them are great drivers for vap and electrocharge)

Best character is character that can play both dps and support!

Amd here's me using Nahida and YaoYao in one team with Venti and Yae Miko

Tighnari is also good. Alhaitham is in the spotlight rn because 1) his banner is currently available and 2) he can also perform really well in bloom teams whereas Tighnari is solely a single target spread DPS

Tighnari is best as a quick swap meanwhile Haitham is a driver. They're gonna have their differences

The difference between Tighnari and Alhaitham is that Tighnari is a quickswap dps while Alhaitham stays on field for longer periods of time.

The problem with Tighnari is that he's very burst-type and single target character. He can still work on groups and you can force his field time up if you need to, yes, but he definitely has his preferences and Alhaitham is his opposite in that he's good against groups and can deal sustained DPS.

@@deegutsy7574 considering how long Alhaitham's infusion lasts for i would consider his playstyle quickswap too, its not like youre staying 15-20 seconds on him on-field lol

Part of the reason could be the abyss buffs in each floor. But in general I do think dendro teams are easier to play with similar damage to vape/melt. But I think that vape and melt teams still an achieve higher damage ceilings with whale level of investment

Your Hutao team is weak af 😔

@@andreespina9747 so you're saying you can't whale invest on dendro teams? I don't understand the concept of this character is good if u whale. I'd rather have characters that are good without whaling please. 😂

@@HOGPO you don't have other characters beside hutao it seems.. against PMA most team can clear under 1 minute. Below 45 seconds is whale teritory. I bet hutao clears faster than haitham against the dendro boss. And good luck using hutao against corrosive in the last chamber. You'd either Sacrifice her damage and heals often, or you're a pro player that can dodge every single attack from that many wolves 😂 not to mention hutao could only attack 1 target at a time.

@@HOGPO meaning shes niche.. while Haitham can work well for both sides 😂. I don't see that much dendro on your roster And yes, whale territory.. even whale hutao clear it around 40 seconds. The boss is wasting our time summoning its body parts. If the boss don't have phases, like that dendro chicken boss, then you can clear it faster. Try it first, then talk.

@@sankaranarayanan4479 not true at all , he is decent at best lmao

Hu tao c1 or yelan considered meta units long term and the weapon banner is fire too , going for them would be very logical as f2p also baizou is coming at 3.6 so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I mean what do you want him to say? Pull for Alhaitam no matter what? Spend all your primos for Alhaitam even if you don't want him? Him saying he's a decent character that isn't a must pull is pretty reasonable imo.

Agreed. Even at high investment he’s very competitive with Spread

Yup. He can even use R5 Harbinger of Dawn and still does great damage since he doesn't scale heavily with atk

I agree ❤️ i cleared the abyss with talents 6-6-6 hyper bloom

Cuz he is not a great DPS, but a good dendro applicator. High investment on him won't change the total team damage very much
