Zajef the only dude that makes me watch a 40-minute review about a character I'll never pull

Keep your chin up, king. You're doing an incredible service for the rest of us.

we love you Zajef, thanks for your effort to the community

Today I was playing Shenhe with burst support Gaynu, Bennett and Dehya. It was fun to pretend like Dehya was actually doing something until I tapped Bennett's skill a saw an 80k melt.

I'm just glad that you decided to continue being a content creator!! It would be a huge loss to the community! ❤

I'm so glad Zajef isn't retiring, like, he is basically the reason i can 36 star the abyss consistently

Thanks for the shoutout! Glad to see you found my rotations helpful 🙂

hope you're doing well zajef we love ya

You're the only Genshin creator I watch besides Zy0x and I haven't touched Genshin for an year. You're a perfect package of Knowledge and entertainment for me and many others. Love the work that you do! Keep up the great work

obvi you pull shenhu to utilize diona's cryo dmg ascension stat

Hi Zajef, I just wanted to chime in and say that I really appreciate your content and what you contribute to the community. I'd like to share how I view your work as someone who only interacts with your content through these informative Genshin videos. Theorycrafting is an immensely complicated subject. Anybody that has tried to perform the calculations for a single rotation will recognize the sheer amount of knowledge required to arrive at a reasonably correct answer. Yet you make it possible for the casual viewer, who may lack perfect understanding of all the intricacies of game mechanics, to at least somewhat understand enough of the nuances of such a complex subject to make informed decisions with their resources. To me, your work is an educational resource in the same way as my university lectures, except your videos are far better at explaining and teaching practical things. I'd compare you with someone like 3blue1brown. Do not undervalue your impact on the community. Quality informational content is rare in the Genshin content sphere. Lastly, I'd wager that the silent majority of your viewers (who interact with your content simply for reasonable information like me) aren't the type of people who would be discussing the nature of your character or your work in some thread on social media. Of course, Genshin's fanbase includes far more demographics than that, but in my opinion, the internet comments of those of the less mature variety that fall into a certain demographic (who I'd wager are 1. more likely to be discussing the nature of your character or your work in some social media thread, and 2. comprise a good portion of your viewership because this is a popular game after all) should perhaps be taken a little less seriously. With all that said, thank you for your work up until now. For documenting/testing/measuring game mechanics + theorycrafting + calculations. For making that information accessible, digestible, and available to a wider audience in a timely manner. For continually striving for accuracy by staying up to date with new information and by producing new content updating previous information. For being an great example of what informative video game content creators should strive for in any game. Know that your work has been recognized, and based on many of the other comments here, I'm not alone in that sentiment. If you decide to move on from Genshin, I wish you luck in your next endeavors.

please don’t let the trolls and hatewatchers get in your head, you’re the only genshin content creator I watch for good reason, you have a good personality and I appreciate your work immensely.

I can't thank you enough for how much you've helped me and the community at large with Genshin meta knowledge. Not to mention that you're so funny and fun to watch on top of just being informative. Please take care of yourself. And know we all appreciate you.

Wonderful and very helpful content as always! Thanks a lot for your contributions to the community Mr. Zajef, and please be sure to take care of yourself! We love you

Helping out the vast majority of the genshin community free of charge is a thankless job, so thank you for sticking around regardless! Much as I don't want it to happen though, definitely take a break if it means you can come back when you're feeling refreshed again. Your health is more important than a gacha game. Your editor is doing a great job too! Love the thumbnail as well

love you bestie 🥺🥺🥺 literally I got back into genshin from watching your theorycrafting videos… so hyped for things to come, and I’m so overjoyed that you’re doing as alright as you can

not usually a commenter but keep your head up king! your content is honestly some of the most helpful and really has helped a lot of people within the community and you make a space for people to feel comfortable and chill - ofc take all the time you need, health comes before everything and those of us who actually enjoy your content will be happy to wait til you're ready 😊

I know everyone means well encouraging Zajef to stay and that' he's needed an all... But if you need a break trust your heart. The world will still be here if you feel a call ❄️ Also Bowl 🥣

hey zajef appreciate all you do for the community. you are honestly such a gem and an enjoyable watch.

Thanks for doing what you do man! Your streams and videos always keep me interested in the game and put a smile on my face :) bowl

Your indepth analysises are what kept me invest to find out more about the game character's potential. I really mean it man. Keep up the good work Zajef!

Ball Mister Zajef, i really liked this video, was actually reluctant to watch it bc of the length but I enjoyed it through and through after hitting the play button! Great analysis and it's always fun to listen to what you have to say

GLAD TO SEE THE ALOY QUESTION MADE IT THROUGH! Hahah, I really think TCers could take some time to re-look at Aloy these days, really feels like she's suffering from "Day 1 syndrome" especially since Yunjin and Shenhe showed up after her.

Really happy to see you back, Zajef. There aren't enough words to describe your contributions to the game

Thanks for these vids Zajef. They’re extremely helpful and no one covers this stuff so in depth like you do. I’m considering pulling Shenhe now LOL. Since Eula is so far off (if leaks are to be believed)

Zajeff don't you go anywhere, you're like therapeutic to watch, as I used to watch Jin&Jinx. You're voice is pleasant and you're information and way of delivering is top 10. I'm still plugging your channel to my friends too so it'd suck if you were gone when they get here

Thank you so much for these free, informative guides! We love you!

I look forward to your videos even despite that I may not be interested in characters, I just like to listen to you talking about this stuff. You are my favorite theory crafter by far, take care ❤️

We appreciate your knowledge and efforts man! My TC knowledge is preschool and isn't my primary focus. I go off book for a some of my favorite units, but it's good TCers like you who give us the tools to properly seek alternatives while still getting the results we like. Keep doin' what you do

I love your streams Zajef! They're so chill and relaxing. Keep being you King!

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS LETS GOOO

Love your videos Zajef, hope to keep seeing them

I love you Zachef, you're an amazing content creator and definitely one of the best for Genshin

This is so funny to see that title as someone who has been running Wavebreaker's Fin on her since the day she came out lol. Great content as always Zajef. Please don't leave us!!!

Super great analysis- as an Ayaka main I've been wondering about pulling Shenhe for a while. I appreciate your analyses, thank you for putting out the content that you do!

Zajef is my favourite jenshin youtuber. I love the weird ass thumbnails and the actually useful infos on who to pull. Thanks man. Also i need more walfie genshin char gifs on the video

The effort you put into your videos and theorycrafting is amazing. All of my friends and I, in addition to so many more in the community, value you not just as a theorycrafter, but as a good and fun person and streamer, too. We love and support you, and please take care of yourself! :)

Zajeff my guy. You are amazing, don't get the hate and negativity get to you. Take care of your mental health, if it gets worse please take a break from TC. These idiots in our fandom will realise your worth only after you stop TCs. You are amazing, don't let these idiots tell you otherwise.

Zajeff is the best, I watch all videos but never comment. Genuinely some of the most interesting genshin content. Thank you!

Thanks for the tips and tricks for me (who overwhelmed by text and information in the game) it made me less annoyed and stressed about abyss. You're the master of theory craft king

You are the best genshin impact theorycrafter and content creator. I love your videos and I love your reasoning. You keep me so based, and you helped me so much with this game. Unfortunately the genshin community is full of toxic morons who don’t have any social skills, empathy or respect, but always remember there’s a lot of people here who actually love your persona and your content. Never change man.

It's time to show Zajef how much we appreciate him! Write about how much you like him and/or what he does, leave a like, sub, follow his stream, we need to let him feel how much support he truly has!

Thanks for the great video! love these ask Zajef editions

Hang in there mr Zajef! TY for everything you do for this community.

I've owned Shenhe since she came out. I have learned SO MUCH from this video.

Man, you can't be liked by everyone, but we're here for you and we grateful for what you're doing for the community!

Keep up the good work, you have a lot more people supporting you, dont let haters and negative thoughts put you down!

Love you bruv, keep do what you do.

Thanks for all the Effort Zajeff 💖 Really appreciate your content

Hi Zajef - this comment is probably going to be lost in the sea of love and encouragement which you've been receiving over here so far, but if it helps, I wanted to add on and remind you that you will Always be Loved - not by everyone unfortunately, but by those who matter. You're the beacon of Genshin TC, the charm of infectious laughter and (more recently) the epic voicelines we certainly didn't deserve. In these rough times, remember why you started this journey. We hope to see you real soon! Much Love.

Was not expecting the outro. It's so good haha

I'm so glad I found your channel a while ago! keep it up mister!

i love fav lance guya

thank you mr zajef, ur videos are very cool and make me happy :)

Bowl!! Yo hablo español pero no me pierdo uno de tus videos. Te considero el mejor creador de contenido de Genshin de todo YT y Twitch.... Suerte y sigue así!!!

I don't know why, but I rewatch it, although I watched it on stream. Just love listening to your TC. Thank you!

Sending you support zajef!

Don’t give in to the haters…. they are only fuelled by the fact that your a popular content creator, which actually makes sensible conclusions (because you seem to care for your viewers wallet and enjoyment of genshin). Your an easy target, because your actually helping the community… not destroying it (like some other youtubers/streamers). If your feeling sad, just have a look at your actual viewers thoughts in this comment section, hopefully it will cheer you up ❤ Your a much much needed Genshin CC’er! ❤

Bowl. Also 35:49, was wondering if something's wrong, it was Chongyun sulking in the distance. Also also, thanks for the things that you do, Zajef! Just know that we all truly appreciate and genuinely enjoy your content. You are one of the few content creators who can upload a literal hour-long video and I would watch 'till the end, and even rewind at crucial moments.

Not even planning on pulling Shenhe, but I enjoy hearing Zajef explain things and seeing the fun bits the editors put in, so here I am 40 minutes later. Thanks team!

thank you for how intricate you are with your content! i love watching your videos even though i don't have the characters they're about because of.. you. how you explain damage, calculations and more helps me understand the game even more. as someone who loves genshin's combat, its hard to find a content creator that doesn't exclusively talk about meta or speaks about team building without being unenjoyable to watch. you are a golden fish in a sea of many to me and likely others too! like others commenting, i hope you continue to make content and i wish for your wellbeing. in short, thank you and prioritize whatever makes you happy! :)

hey zajef, hope you're doing okay. was really looking forward to this shenhe video so thank you! bowl!

Zajef is the best genshin content creator for me. Even though I don't fret to 36 star the abyss, your content is not only knowledgeable but also very entertaining... Take care of yourself and keep on creating the videos that you are satisfied with... Also the intro is always great... 😆

Dude, your content is amazing. You have a dedicated audience and we love you!

I watch everyone of these even if I already know what I'm going to do. Really look forward to a baizhu pre release analysis in the future. Love your content!

Bowl, I love and appreciate you so much, pretty much only creator I watch every single minute of...

we love you mr zajef u really do a lot of effort to make us understand the game more and actually enjoy it thank u for all the effort you always do we really hope you-re doing great

Edit: Bowl Just recently came across your videos and the work you've put into TCing is incredible. Really appreciated your content. I'm curious about your thoughts on Candace's "shatterbloom" playstyle. You touched briefly on some of the things she could do in another video, but I couldn't find much on the topic of building EM on her and putting her in a fridge team.

Just wanted to throw this in at the start, if anyone enjoys playing anemo MC, I've loved shenhe/MC. Anemo MC has cryo prioritization, and their skill and burst both infuse. You can get some crazy hold E damage from MC this way :) not super meta, but it's fun! And for Zajeff, great vid! Been watching your stuff since the very beginning :) when people ask me lots of questions in co-op, I'll often refer them to your KZfaq. Mainly cause typing on mobile in Genshin is a pain, but also cause you're such a more comprehensive source. Always look forward to your uploads!! Edit: Bowl

BOWL. After watching this video and mulling it over a little, mono cryo seems like the answer to the abyss wenut.

omg FINALLY! I've been waiting for it for ages

BALLS, always learning a lot from your videos. I didn’t have Mistsplitter yet, and is using R5 Amenoma atm. Currently saving up for Nilou rerun and maybe Baizhu. Kinda tempted to pull the weapon banner thou, since I don’t mind a Calamity and kinda lost hope on character design from HYV. Maybe I’ll wait the next version program first to see what banner will come 😵

thanks for this shenhe guide and goodluck to everyone pulling for her later!

We love you Zajef! Your TC work and amazing laugh is a treasure in this community, and we appreciate everything you do for us!

Your videos have been genuinely helpful, thank you Mr Zajef

Very complex review as usual from you. Thank you for yet another great contribution, again! ❤

Nice vid as always! How are ya man? Take care of yourself, thank you for doing this.

I will say that even though I do have Ayaka, I barely use her but I always use Shenhe with my Kaeya. I don't necessarily think she's only for use with Ayaka -- she makes my Kaeya extremely strong, makes mono-cryo with kaeya and rosaria feel decent, and is also pretty great on Rosaria melt.

I really love your content and find it really helpful, hope you’re doing well ❤

Hey. Thanks for all you've done for the community. The people who enjoy your content aren't the most vocal but we are here. We love your content and personality and don't let the negativity get to you.

You're a goddamn legend. Don't let the haters say otherwise.

We await for the return of the king!

Very Good and easy to understand Video. Thanks for all the effort Zajef

Mano, que nostalgia... Obrigado pelo video Bruno

Zajef, when a person has alot of reach on social media, it means that its easier to gather a hate mob. Doesn’t mean the majority hates, but its easier for the few to gather and criticize someone. I can guarantee you 90% of people like you. And I can also guarantee that no one is liked by 100% of the people. Hope you get better soon.

Bowl! Thank you so much! I'm really struggling to decide if I want her for my Ayaka or not, but I'll be listening to this a few times while thinking on it.

Thank you for all your hard work!

Thank you for addressing almost all my Ganyu doubts with Shenhe !!! ❤❤❤

I don’t really like commenting, but I appreciate you Zajef!

i never comment but u deserve it, your streams and content have made me laugh and joy in really bad times, keep the good work

zajef ur laugh makes me laugh and a CC has never brought me as much joy as ur ayato and hutao impersonations 😭 I’m sorry the internet can be a cesspool of asshats, you seem wise and mature beyond ur years so stay true to u king and take care of yourself!!

Without your vids I probably would've given up on meta a long time ago. Thank you for everything, Mr Zajeff

not really sure on what happened but i saw your tweet and i hope youre doing amazing! keep up the great work you're a great content creator !

First off, your voice overs for Shenhe at the end were really good lol. Second, watching this really made me realize that I kinda built my Shenhe all wrong. I hyper focused on atk so much that now she has little ER, but at the time it didn't matter to me because I didn't realize how valuable her burst was during a rotation. I only got her because of design and story so I wasn't being optimal with my primo (I also didn't have Ayaka at the time too so it was an even worse investment lol). Long story short she actually has the stats of a sub dps/dps (decent crit/crit dmg), (high atk), (2pc/2pc atk% set), and (Deathmatch). I know Fav Lance and 4pc Nobless would be much better but a part of me wants keep this build cause it makes her feel strong and the artifacts I have on her rn are really good. Also farming artifacts suck so I'd have to basically do a factory reset on her build lol. She does her job just fine so the only thing I might change is her weapon. Thanks for the video!

I really really like the energy recharge requirement breakdowns for best worst and realistic scenarios. Most digestible and concise method of conveying energy recharge requirements for sure

bowl Thank you Zaj, I was gonna pull for her anyway for my balls team but I still learned a good bit of handy things I didn't think of before, so I appreciate the stream/video!

Ngl from past few months I have watched so many of your videos, and I must say whenever any of my friends asks what weapon he/she should use on that or other character I respond "just use fav". Your ideology gets into my bones.

Really love your videos please keep it up❤️❤️

Love your content and im always looking forward to a new video and stream! Ive learned a lot from these videos and i enjoy your humor so i hope you know there are lots of ppl who loves what you do man!

It’s daunting seeing 20-40mins vid but somehow I make it through on your vids. Your opinions and theories are high yield. Maybe some people aren’t fond of your vids because some people doesn’t like truth and transparency.
