Are you pulling for Numby?

My favorite part of her kit is when Svarog says "Please protect me, Mr. Clara!" and then she proceeds to brutally murder everyone

Because of the title, I thought I fell into a coma for a day and woke up to Topaz's banner already being out lol

Pairing clara with yukong is a big brain move because speed tuning wont be necessary.

I like Topaz well enough, but the only reason I'm 100% pulling for her on launch is her synergy with Clara. I love playing Ciara as main DPS, so the idea of another damage dealer who buffs Clara and who gets stronger with Clara sounds absolutely amazing.

I love how you give detailed reasons on why you think certain things don't work instead of just calling things trash. It's refreshing to hear thoughtful engagement on things people don't prefer instead of the insulting and writing off that often happens online. And it helps people learn why things work or don't work. :)

As a Clara main by serendipity, never have I resonated with a comment like I did when you brought up the trotters. I _hate_ the Simulated Universe "reward" occurrence that spawns three of those fuckers with one ready to gtfo. It feels like punishment. It's more stressful than the final boss. That being said, I do relish my sweet, sweet revenge against the one specific blessing trotter that cleaves you relentlessly. *Feed* my Clara. _Feed_ her. My spite against this species nearly tainted Topaz for me. (It took Bubbles from Aetherium Wars to bring me back to center.) That being said, she is Clara's perfect complement, and I hope this duo popularizes our cherished cowering child. Bravo, Artumbo, for this spotless speculation. You're the only person I have seen who recognizes Tingyun as _something irreplaceable_ and does not discredit Fu Xuan for having Preservation's taunt. Your BiS comp is exactly what I'm aiming for, so I admit I pumped my fist a little when you confirmed it at the end. Applause for the Clara love, fellow Clara connoisseur. I look forward to seeing her at her pinnacle in action. It will be our duty soon to propagandize the unconverted of the world.

Looking at Topaz's and Guinaifen's kits, it's nice that we'll be getting more and more DPS that actually can aid other DPS (like how Topaz can make enemies take more follow-up damage and Guinaifen can apply vulnerability debuff to enemies)

Great video~ my brain is mush rn from hard time sleeping and debating w a friend yesterday and this video still explained things rlly well to me effortlessly

Topaz + her light cone is somehow more consistent support potential than Yukong since Clara can't utilize E6 very well, and that's astonishing.

I've been waiting for this, let's go

Lovely guide! Clara spooked me recently in standard after waiting for so many months and her signature S2 as well so I'm building her rn 💖 Still torn if to pull for Topaz as I already own Himeko and have nothing prepared for her in relics though, might wait until she releases or else pick her up in a rerun to have better ground for how follow up characters have been doing by then.

Great video, thank you.

Thank you for this! I am now certain I will pull for Topaz.

What a cute fire MC portrait hehe It's getting really tempting to pull Numby because Clara's just so fun to play

That ult transition at 7:22 was so smooth

I like claras character but I dont like waiting for my enemies to take their turn. (Haven't built my clara yet but this is my vague understanding of how she plays) so when you said "Hyper speed clara" in the intro I was super intrigued.

As always, 10/10 guide. And I'm conflicted. I have way too many fully built main dpsps to justify building Clara and topaz from scratch. But I still kinda want to. Aaaaaaa.

One thing to add, with Clara - Tingyun - Topaz - Lynx line up, they're pretty much have an abundance of SP. So, if the Clara at least in E1, she and Topaz can spam her skill to use that excessive SP.

I don't have her and I also believe its a crime to NOT build Illya. Not only because you're missing out on Berserker but also the fact that she literally provides FREE damage for simply being hit

awesome guide video 👍

I got E1 Clara in a single 10 pull when I start playing, been using her in nearly EVERY content. Can't wait to get Topaz and numby

I got e1 clara on the first day of the game and been a dedicated svarog enjoyer since then. She's so underrated Love how she can swap between dps and subdps

At first I was really confused as to why March was down at the difficult tier. Then I remembered he was talking about solo sustain

Can't wait to see Clara's synergy with Topaz and Numby! I luckily got Clara and her LC when I started playing HSR. Once you understand how to get the most out of her ult and follow-up attacks, you start to appreciate her a lot. But her power wasn't obvious to me at all at first, so I guess I understand why many people underrate Clara and prefer other characters to her.

looking forward to seeing the *checks notes* shoeless child with robot dad and debt collector with pet alien pig combo in action soon

I can’t be fully agree with thoughts about March. As you sad, the more time you get hit, the more damage you can deal. So March is kind of a buffer for me. But on top of that, March is also a Bonus Attack character, so if we talking about Clara-Topaz teams, March also has something to put in that mix by moving forward pig’s action. It’s kind a situational conditions, but if you will encounter a multihit enemy and all of those attacks will be targeted at Clara under the March’s shield, u can expect a 100% forward move for the pig only from March counters

Clara was my first 5 star and I still really enjoy having her in my teams. Can't wait to add Numby to the party hehe

Does "increases the damage enemy takes" work differently than defense reduction? I'm curious if proof of debt might be a wash compared to Pela ult in terms of increasing Clara's damage (though obviously Topaz herself would make a heavy contribution to team damage instead of being an ult bot).

Is there a chance slow Yukong could be more valuable in a clara, topaz, and lynx team because theyre all so sp positive and it allows for yukong to spam skill, or would it still be better to just run Tingyun

I maxed, fully invested, got her LC and Carried through MoC Since the beginning of 1.1 with CLARA for 30/30 every time, I absolutely have never missed out on her immense potential and hope to one day E6 her!

personally the damage drop from running march + luocha is worth because there’s no stress of dying + march’s fua’s will be good for topaz

I use Clara, March 7th, Yukong and Natasha, I really wanted Lynx but didn't get her. The funniest thing is that you don't want to ult on Nat and March, making use of Yukong ascension passive and have her ult super fast. I built march full damage, the shield is really negligible, just enough to survive 3 hits for the passive follow up damage, so Yukong can buff both

Clara was my first 5* and carried me through most of early game. She will always be my favourite physical DPS! She also made me fall in love with follow-up attacks xD

I will say that when considering numby's action advance, march and Clara could potentially give 100av to numby in 1 action. Hopefully there's a lightcone for preservation in the future that incentives holding ultimate like subscribe for more. Biggest concern with march is AoE, but if Clara is mainly getting hit she'll be fine.

I started a follow up only account(because numby is precious) and i got lucky with clara as my departure 5*. With only 3 chars being clara, march, and herta i made it to the last phase of cocolia at trailblaze lvl 36... And lost, she had 9% hp left. Elation path is broken and a full team that can do that will go crazy. Gl to all future numby havers!

this is still pretty good information as someone who doesn't want topaz but wants clara, im so close to my free 300 standard... im almost ready to buy her cone too

It's Clara's world and we're all living in it

i currently have an accidental e2 clara and e0 numby, will test how well this goes

Wait , what about clara , e6 march , topaz and tingyun? Or change tingyun with pela for more SP. Just thinking about march because topaz , it would be so much follows ups lol.

Please, can you tell me if topaz works well with jing? Should I pull her if I don’t have neither himeko, nor clara?

after Clara Ult ... her follow up attack hits multiple enemies so if one of them have proof of debt it will trigger Topaz kit? AOE hit is counted right? it didnt mention that you have to target/hit the enemy with proof of debt SOLO so splash/AOE attack will be counted as hitting the enemy that have proof of debt?

I think people do not underestimating clara, but most of the time people chose bronya over her.

Got my e2 for Clara from JingLiu's banner I think the universe wants to tell me something. I don't think I have enough to pull for Topaz unfortunately but I'll hope for a lucky pull

Me taking down notes how to build tingyun in the clara/topaz video

Could March be good for doubling up on Follow Ups for Topaz?

My E1 Clara is gonna pop off more than she already is!!

Technically, Clara + Topaz + Lynx + March does work out well. However, slotting march out for another unit, basically a flex unit is more ideal for damage. However, March does give thick shields and that does help with Clara's damage mitigation and the need to heal often.

i played since release and my two teams are daniel and clara, with daniels team being him, natasha, pela, yukong and my clara with tingyun, lynx and march 7th being temporary, cant wait for topaz honestly cause the only problem with clara is her consistency and i think that topaz can be a good sub dps to cover claras weakness, also for anyone wondering why i dont have more 5 stars even tho i played since release, it was cus i made 2 accounts, 1 was my main and 1 was my dedicated saving for blade account. i deleted honkai and missed half of 1.1 and 1.2 entirely. i started to get playing again and met daniel, and having saved up around 200 pulls for a missed, what i hoped to get a e6 blade, i went crazy on him and got e2 s1😀(very far from a e6 blade as you can see but he slapping hardd) also managed to get claras s1 too, and also got welt which is kinda good with daniel

One argument for using March would be 2 or 3 follow up attacks per turn meaning if you use topaz, she will really help numby act constantly

Bruh, I just give up on the trotter occurrence when using Clara.

I literally got Clara's light cone on the standard banner. So hopefully I can get her soon.

love u artumbo

you say gepard isn't good but I raise you this: gepard without his a2 activated. clara can be on the edge with gepard adjacent so he soaks blast damage, clara's a2 also has a form of debuff mitigation

Yoo that's me at the start 🤠🤠🤠

I use clara, welt, robin and march 7th is that an okay combo?

I do have gurantee but still undecided. I will wait for the next drip market since I wont pull HuoHuo because I do have many sustains and Argenti since he is erudition and if only need to pull destruction if you are pulling DPS units

About preservation with clara I also think march should have a pretty high up spot in the clara team And even better with topaz March increases taunt value + giving a shield to clara so she can be more tanky Plus she also do follow up attacks which would help alot with Numby's advancement Just a few downside that she is only there purely for tanking and taunting You can't use her ult since freezes, her attack damage is not very good But she would still be a good pair A team like clara, march, topaz, healer would be really solid

Pretty good insight, but march works with both clara and topaz just fine. My March doesn't even have relics and she is able to sustain vs lvl 80 enemies. xD You just simply don't have to ulti with her and save it for any potential fatal hits. If Clara has her ulti up and march has her shield on clara that is like a 90% chance clara will be targeted. You aren't going to take a lot of damage to really anyone else. March doesn't add much with her follow ups, but sometimes she does give you an extra numby attack or 3. Physical and Ice weakness enemies are commonly put together or are diverse enough as elements that most content has those weaknesses in them. I'm kind of interested in what 5 star march will look like. Since they are implying it with clues as hard as they did with dan heng. She could be another benefitter for Topaz if she retains the follow up attack theme. Which she might considering it's her unique aspect as a unit. Dan Heng retained some of his aspects from his Hunt Variation when he got the new unit. Though not much, as Dan Heng isn't as creative of a unit as March is. Reason I bring it up is that might be happening in the second half of the next planet's story whenever that comes out. So soon enough to start saving for her now if it happens.

Love Clara, but can’t afford Topaz. I wanted a second Dps so I pulled for Jing Liu and now I’m dead broke but I do have E6 QQ and Tingyung, and E1 Bronya. Banner was amazing for me and I’m finally good on teams.

I've personally been running a team of Fu Xuan, Silver Wolf, Clara, and Shushang, and have had a lot of sucess with it. With just two elements Silver Wolf's weakness implant is really helpful against enemies already weak to quantum or physical, so it let's my team shred through boss toughness bars so Shushang can go crazy on them. I was also lucky enough to get Fu Xuan E1 which increases the entire teams crit dmg, so I've been using her as a pseudo harmony character. Thanks to her my Clara is sitting on 78 crit rate and 190 crit dmg. Once I get Topaz I'll replace Shushang, and I'll probably replace Silver Wolf with Tingyun or Asta

I gave her Def boots to test her solo run in SU, and I kinda leave it like that since I mainly use her on SU and SD now because Elation blessing just that good I don't feel the need to raise her dmg

I plan to rebuild my Clara soon as she will be good for Topaz. So im hoping to get big upgrades for my relics, Ive felt like i neglected Clara for a long time and used good enough relics but not as great as my JingLiu or Lunae builds. My Clara is e1 with her sig LC so i feel like owe it to her to invest into her more.

I don't have Clara, but I'm very curious about Clara Lynx Topaz and Guinaifen Feels like a lot of synergy there.

ik this is old but ive been running sparkle lynx tingyun and clara its fun

why did you upload this at 1 AM pst 😭

wait why do u recommend 2p vonwacq for tingyun? why not just keel?

im so dang happy topaz has good utility with follow up dmg characters!!! her design is so cute so i was gonna roll for her anyways heheh and i definitely use clara alot so i win hehehhh

I started in 1.2 and managed to get 30 stars on the last MoC thanks to "losing" a Fu Xuan 50/50 to Clara. She hasn't been great for the current MoC, but I've still had her and Lynx pair up with Pela and Yanqing for my most cursed team set-up (notably to fight the Kafka+Shapeshifter stage).

I actually think that March can be a good, even skill-point efficient solo sustainer… but not necessarily with Clara. I use her with Gepard’s LC and just have her shield herself. As long as she’s far away from my DPS and firing off ults, then her taunt value, defence bonus, and constant freezes should keep the team alive. She’s like fire MC but with more crowd control and threat-negation utility (especially bc of how quickly she gets her ult when shielding herself). And I think freezing is probably one of the most slept on defensive abilities in the game. I mean, just look at how those dissociations kept your solo Jing Yuan alive lol. But that whole build revolves around her taking ~90% of all attacks while cancelling the hard-hitting or AoE ones… which you wouldn’t want to do with a Clara. Never thought about it that way before, but you’re totally right. Lynx is a much better partner for her.

I lost a 50/50 and I now use clara

I think Clara March Topaz and QQ will be a fun combo

To be honest Numby is secretly my favorite character and Clara comes next 😁

Are you going to make a seele guide when she reruns?

I love my E2 Clara. Wouldn't trade her for any other character... but I will be picking Bronya for my 300 wish standard 5 star, not E3, haha

I'm trying to build a time around her, but i don't have topaz. I'm considering the following: Clara + Tingyun + Luka + Lynx. I think Luka with his signature LC and his kit can both Increase the dmg enemies receive and shred their Def, I don't wanna use Pela because she sometimes freezes enemies (i don't have SW), I also have both Luocha and Fu Xuan, but i can't decide who is best for her... I like the aggro thing provided by lynx and the crit rate from fu xuan, but i'm still unsure... Any thoughts for me?

They should add a unit that gives a "target" buff/debuff on an ally, making SURE the enemies will attack that unit instead. March shield, Lynx skill etc increases the chances of getting hit, but I do not notice a difference ☠️

She's a great unit, the enemies just want to target someone else instead of her

I wanna pull for topaz and numby but im saving this for 1.6 so ill just get her on the rerun hopefully

I really hope I get either Clara or Bronya for my next standard banner 5 star. Then I can use my 300 pull reward for the other. Otherwise I'd be really torn choosing...

I use 4pc ice relic set on clara for +25% cdm everytime she ult

i wouldve totally pulled for topaz if she came out at a different time! topaz, clara, lynx and tingyun wouldve been such a monster combo!! Gotta stay strong for argenti i suppose...

march is great against enemies with little aoe damage, but if the enemy hits everyone (especially we don’t forget about miss-i-die-first fox) then this is a very bad option but i love her

i don't have clara but i wouldn't mind getting her and ya i'm pulling for numby

Why am I watching this I don’t even have clara

adding to the argument against March 7. it's extremely annoying when an enemy is both ice and phys weak and march 7 beats Clara to the weakness break. Enemy gets frozen and since March 7's dmg is normally lower than Clara's, u lose a ton of damage.

Any time a new character comes out and needs a support = slap a tingyun on em

Don't sleep in jing yuan

Clara was my first 5* and she's been carrying me even with C tier relics. If I can win the 50/50 I can sub Fire break MC for Topaz and ZOOM through MoC. Current Clara team: Fire MC, Clara, March, Bailu P.S if you have 3k+ defense on March Clara essentially has a second health bar. When I refarm relics, I'm doing Clara's and March. March will have defense main stat with dps substats. The best of both worlds 😌

I was considering rolling for Topaz, kinda hmm-ing and hah-ing about how much use I'd get out of her, how effective she would be with who I have, etc. Aaaand then Standard Banner gave me a Clara. RNGesus gave a nice nudge there. (I'd probably roll Topaz anyway for neuron activation, but now I have a great reason to roll her)

Join your Ancestor!

Your probably Right, about Clara’s best team, but personally I’m going to probabaly use March, Clara, SW, Topaz. As my team instead, (although SW skill being a 1/4 to help topaz will hurt). To which in this set up, March is probabaly better then a different sustain since she combos with Topaz as well as Clara, while still her ult is anti synergy to Clara still. Who cares if I’m skill point negative on March if she is the only one who has to spend them.

I would like to see a team of March, Topaz, Kafka, and Clara where Numby just attacks 5000 times due to all the follow up attacks 😂 Probably not very meta but very fun.

I have this joke with my friends that being a clara main makes every auto battle "The Slap 2" where Svarog just goes around slapping literally everything in existance for wronging Clara. My one big hope for Clara is that we get a limited follow up destruction character with a better lightcone for her. I have Clara's weapon at R2 and it just pales in comparison to the stat loadout on limited light cones. I mean, look at before the dawn from Jing Yuan, and how much budget that thing has. Plus the self-heal on it was outdated the moment Luocha came out.

now the question is, topaz for clara or sw for qq? dont think I will be able to guarantee both

I regret pulling for daniel when i already had clara.

just in case anyone missed the details, Topaz Numby will buff playable character, which is : 1. Blade 2. Clara 3. Yanqing 4. Herta 5. even March 6. also Kafka all of follow up attack will be buffed and automatically opens up more option in the future (like Kafka) which is a great investment in my opinion. If hoyo already done will destruction era, i believe the follow up attack era will be broken (just look at premium follow up / destruction char aka Blade).

The number of times I tried clara with swarm 5 entering a reward domain, only to be disappointed with a trotter “reward” is way too many to count. Honestly should have saved for topaz instead of pulling for jingliu, but oh well. I have tried fire trailblazer as a secondary sustain, it can be nice to taunt away CCs, and place clara next to him/her to potentially get cleaved, but not that good.

How does clara gain hp in this video?? Where is the heal wirhout fuxuans ult??

Why does you video look super HD? or am i just crazy?
