A couple updates since making this guide: 1. For Bangboos, both Butler and Sharkboo are good. Penguinboo is good in the early game. 2. Everyone will get Soukaku for free, so ignore the part where I talk about if you don't have Soukaku. 3. For talent priority, after using her a lot more on launch, despite it sheeting low in an optimal rotation, in practice I recommend leveling her Dodge (dash/scissors) after her Basics and/or Chain. This is where practicality and calcs differ. 3. 🦈

watching this makes me realize how much i don’t know how to play this game at all

Ngl this game caught me off guard, i like it way more than i thought i would.

12:46 Soukaku is free via the shiyu defense btw, so everyone will have her

Short hair, maid outfit. And most important, SHARK TAIL!!!! I found my dream girl

Trigger dash -- Charged -- Spam Basic -- Spam E -Sincerely,someone who doesn't know wtf is going on

I’m so glad that they enabled the game to have framerates greater than 60. Been loving the game with the smoother refresh rate.

I dolphin'd for shark, lost my first 50/50 to Lycaon, and picked up M6 Soukaku in the process. Fate has spoken, I guess I know what team I'm building lol.

Never been into either sharks or maids but combined with perpetually-exhausted-yet-chill-around-friends gen-Z vibe? I was immediately sold. Super fun to pilot as well. HoYo knows their shit.

I manage to pull her finally on my 80th attempt! Although I wasn't so lucky with her weapon sadly but I wont complain is a miracle that being totally f2p player manage to get her on her 50-50. Thanks for the guide!

Just pulled Ellen! I love how Hoyo designed her game play. Sharks sink if they aren't moving and Ellen has to move to gain flash freeze stacks. It makes me excited for their future creative designs!

Leveling Ellen’s Dodge also scales her charged attacks’ damage and daze application pretty significantly (which usually isn’t properly reflected on damage breakdowns) so I’d put it at a slightly higher priority than her Special Attack. While Sharknado hits as hard as her B3 in a shorter timeframe, it doesn’t actually scale off of anything else in her kit. It’s also not always available, nor is it optimal to always use it even if it were. The increased multipliers from leveling her Special Attack just don’t have the potential to impact the fight as often, as easily, nor as passively as the boost to her charged attacks. In my opinion, the most valuable thing about her E is the instant B3. It’s much more noticeable than the skill damage itself because it has allowed me to close out many fights earlier than I should have. I’d still level the skill eventually if I had materials to spare, though.

LETS GOOOO!! so excited to try and pull for her

The unlimited FPS CHANGED EVERYTHING, extremely helpful for frame parry/dodge game like this

i got ellen in my first pull

that bite loop had me fascinated good call on putting that under your explanation.

I got her in my first 10 pull so I... lol i wish. Needed 2 x 70+ pulls to get her, now aiming for the weapon, hope I wont lose again if it works like this. Still good a usefull guide, defiently gonna use this to play her better.

Lost the 50/50 to soldier 11 on my first multi. Still pulling for Ellen.

Yooo best guide ive found. Had my butt go back to training mode! Greatly appreciate this guide

Game's animations are looks cool. I never tried the games other than open world RPGs and game like god of war, Tomb raider series but will try it after sometimes. And your videos are always clean and informative. Kudos to you. I am seeing so many hate comments and i can understand some of them but i feel like many of them never even tried the game but just spouting some nonsense with the videos they were watching and the informations they were heard from others. This game is targeted for different audiences. something you don't like it may loved by someone. What you guys making were not a constructive criticism but a plain hate.

OMG, THANK YOU honestly. I got her but I can't seem to work her "flash freezer" until I watched this. 😅

great and insightful vid as always! would it be possible to make a vid comparing ellen to the next limited character? i doubt ill get her and her wengine so i was thinking of full saving to hopefully guarantee the next limited and their wengine!

I got ellen and lycaon from 40 pulls, pulling for her w engine. I cant believe i got so lucky

Nice gameplay at the end!

You are truly what a content creator should be, very informative and funny,,, great video keep it up :)) I have a question, can I put (lycaon -suk - ellen ) in this order or ellen should be first ?

I got Ellen by pure luck on my first 10 pull so now I’ve been trying to build her so thanks for the guide!

I just kept hearing lightcone instead of Lycaon 😆

I was Saving for Miyabi ,i wanted some soukaku Cons but Got her in a 10 pull so i came here, didn't want her so I will Still Build Her as F2P would. Hope she still deals Decent Dmg with a low Inv build(lmao i think my C1 Rina is gonna be Useful for someone else of diff element)

I've been watching your content since early Genshin days, this is by far the best ellen guide i've come across and i've watched many. thank you keep up the good work

The game has been so nice to me.. they gave me lycaon as my first 5* then i got a 5* engine for him too.. then i got c6 soukaku then ellen came home 😅😅

I already have ellen, accidentally got SS on x10 and im so shocked to get 2 ellen !! like what?!?!?!?! Now my problem is what is her rotation now since c2 makes a different.. also c1 for stacking.

Omg I got her in my first 10 pull! Literally the first time this has happened in any gacha. I mean I deserve it after losing my first 4 50/50’s in HSR. 😮🎉

Evil Gura

Got her first muti I’m not gonna spend until they bring out a penguin fr

Got Tina and Ellen off the banner off 4 Multics it’s feels good

knowing how to play Lycaon is one of the way to maximize her dmg cuz his impact building is insane! note; Lycaon Special is holdable and it do much more stagger point and it give you

Got Ellen, lucked into her weapon trying for Anton's. NOW WHERE IS MY WOLF MAN

bro thank you for the tutorial i love u bro

i got the Wolf man so now i have to get her

IWTL would you do these vids for the standard 5 stars too?

I've seen ppl playing Mono Ice with Ellen taking the most field time even when the boss isn't stunned, can someone enlighten me on why do they play like that? What is the purpose of a Stun unit if they aren't used to stun but just to debuff like Lycaon?

they need to fix the issue with the exploration quest, you literally can't move after you pick up that weight thing, you can't even get to the switcvh.

I lost the 50:50 to Rina as f2p q_q is it worth to keep pulling or should I better wait now? My starter 5 star was Koleda

Thanks!!

Honestly this is where play testing would have helped. Sure her MS2 might not look great on paper, but its absolutely devasting in practice, and if you know what you're doing you can be functionally immune for quite a long time because you're EXing x3 Sharknamis intermingled with the basic 3 blade spinning in their back. I cant tell you how many times its allowed me to keep up my damage when normal bosses would have knocked me out of my rotation or forced me to change

stuck with this game a little longer and it’s grown on me - trying to wait on pulling Ellen until second half of 1.1 is revealed

Got her in 20 pulls. Now I'm aiming for her w engine

I'm using anby and the puppet maid puppet maid doesn't buff ellen at all outside of weapons and artifact sets but she does buff anby a lot and anby can deal respectable damage plus this way everyone is smiling I need lycaon tho

I got an ad for ZZZ Ellen Joe

I got get S1 in 20 pulls. Very glad since all her 4 star options seem lackluster.

got her on my 3rd pull, i am extremely happy rn

I got two lycoan and 5 star engine for stunner, think i will use that account and try to pull for ellen. My other acc has ellen and soakaku m6 but no lycoan. 😅

Hi nice job on the vidéo ! I just pulled Ellen, what do you think should be the priority: getting her W-engine or getting Lycaon ?

IM PREPARED TO GET LYCONE!! I just use rina for now :[ I was already running ellen rina and soukaku anyway

is anyone having the same problem of stuck at verifying file integrity? I tried absolutely everything to fix it

So, I finally got Ellen's W-Engine today, but I am a bit confused on the text. Basic attacks give you a crit rate buff, and then dash attacks give you an ADDITIONAL crit rate buff, but then at the end it says each value is calculated separately. Does it matter what order I attack in to get the buffs? Do I HAVE to do a basic attack and then dash attack to activate the 20% total crit rate buff? Or, can I do the loop you're meant to do with Ellen and dash attack first, and then basic?

so my accidental c1 lycaon is actually useful?

I feel like order is wrong, why wouldn’t you put stun first support second and atk third, the regular switches are far better in terms of stun to break support to buff alter to atk

I got lycaon in 4 pulls, ellen in 20 and brimstone in 7. Not bad :P Also got lycaon's wengine at standard pity.

I’m pulling for her weapon, already got E6 soukaku and with koleda she is amazing and I like the variety of combos, nekomata is cool but she’s quite boring to play.

i have both ellen and von, its like the game wants me to use her

Darnn i just got my second pity in standard and was manifesting lycaon but instead i got his weapon. Welp im gonna have him in the selector in 1 year 💀

Without Lycaon if I have Soukaku and Rina. Is it viable to go 1 damage and 2 suppirt with Ellen Soukaku and Rina or should I really use a break (Anby)?

1:22 Im pulling if that 1st hit basic attck sounds like that

Despite lycoan being my favorite character. It's to great to know that he'll have a find a nice home with Ellen. This guide was extremely informative.

I wish i could get into this game as I like Ellen's design, but guess Ill have to live through videos like this haha

Bro I just tried to pull for her banner just because but got her on the 1st 10 pulls same with Sharkboo🦈

Can you do an Piper or Lucy guide please 🥺

Any advice on bangboo?

I got rina instead of lycaon. Currently just slapping 2 supports + ellen, idk if that was a good idea or not

what bangboo is the best for her? my team consists of ellen, lycaon and soukaku. I don't have rina should I go with butler or sharkboo?

i have her and her sig weapon but i guess im just using her without knowing anythiny at all lmao

I hope i got her

Thisbreminds me of that one character on tower of fantsay ice girl buy dual blade

abput the roaming hunt part, what do you mean double right click, when I press double rmb nothing happens

Ellen's design is too cool to be powercrept she'll always remain the coolest furry imo

Does anyone know the Damage formulas for ZZZ? Both for Anomalies and Crits.

Finally got her today after losing my pity with C1 nekomata..

so when pulling for Ellen i failed my 50/50 but luckily got a double pull and got furry wolf boy then Ellen, i had no intention of using the guy, but now i have to or i lose massive dps, thats honestly some bs i didnt want to use him but hearing id pretty much be losing double damage and im playing on the harder game mode. welp time to suck it the fuck up i guess.

i accidentally got her on 1st ten pull , and here i am

Ellen, Rina, Soukaku. Will this option work?

There is no free limited Baner 10 pull

why is doge and sou whatever her name not switched in position is daze note better?

hi @iwintolose are you planning to do live stream for Imaginary Theater?

Can you swap Anby for Rina? I got Rina from the free standard pulls instaed of Lycoan :')

Where did u find that W-engines table?

What would you recommend between her C1 and sig weapon?

i accidentally got her in 20 pulls so i guess shes my main now

you made a whole ass code for this video?? iwtl effort is insane

what is the perfect ratio for the crit rate and dmg??

got her on my firsty ten pull, I was so shocked! only 4 pity!

my actual team is ellen, soakaku and rina i have all characters except the furry, soldier 11, grace and nekomata

i dont have lycaon what is a good alternative for now??

What should my skill priority before ellen?

Even without her signature w-engine she still slaps hard.

You could say Lycaon is Ellen's best in slot "lightcone"

As an ftp I’m happy I’m lucky and got the three fury team

How do sharks sleep if they’re constantly moving?

for a f2p that already got ellen, do you recommend to try and get her weapon? or just save for future characters?

My ZZZ is still downloading 😭
