Keqing obviously has the best C2 in the game by far though!

Would love to hear your take on Xianyun's C1 and C2 putting her in great--I haven't really seen anything on her cons. Thanks so much for this list! Extremely helpful.

Her c1 is kinda like baizhu's one, just used for enery generation. Anda her c2 is a quite big dmg increase for the plunge attacks your teammate makes​@@georgemacdonald8667

Yelan C1 is probably my fav early con. 👌

Is amazing QOF constelation, you can get the content in less time.

Not only that, with sacrificial bow u can use ur skill like Three times with huge ER regeneration and extra damage and hydro application, so ur artifacts only need HP and Crit. It's definitely a big W constellation

You don’t even need it in open world. You can always run two taxi characters. we have enough so why spend 160 pulls

@@miscellaneous7777 You don't "need" anything in genshin, but we still get like 80 wishes /patch, even more with welkin. With yelan C1 all my mobility needs are covered and 3 can bring 3 characters I like (and I like yelan too). Yes, for those who don't like yelan or don't want to spend wishes on a con, they have other options. I'll try to get xy C1 for the same reason as c1 yelan.

nilou and nahida c2 are broken, its much more than a 20 damage increase

i agree. baizhu is one of my favorite characters, and getting his c1 was a happy accident on his debut banner (i was struggling to pull kaveh LOL). i'm able to run 130 er on him and burst on cooldown. it makes a drastic difference for energy regen and dendro application. i find it's a very valuable and comfortable constellation

Or use sacrificial tome, it's double healing and double application with better energy orbs generation

yeah +41% dmg increase for raiden is a top tier cons even if she's not as meta anymore

​@@mickysaif41% more dmg is the most pull value to compare with other constelations.

Neuvi has the best carry constellations in the game tho, immense dmg increase + full interruptuon resistance

Yea but the massive increase raiden gets from a sole early constellation... which is better than most c6s​@TheGenshinScientist

​@@itz_andi9691 The C6 part was true in 2.1, when Raiden came out. Ever since Sumeru came out they started putting great early constellations on every character, if you notice except klee the carries in the same tier as Raiden all came out after her

lmfao same! i never thought about a character's cons until i looked at furina's!

@@plvto1 oh yes her (early) cons are soo strong!

C2 Nahida is good at everyteam which need dendro reaction while C2 Furina increases everyteam's dmg, every dps's dmg. Not to mention that some players who don't even use dendro reaction won't pull for her tho so yeah i don't think C2 Nahida is even closed to C2 Furina

Nahida C1 is just incomparable to Furina's, that's why they can never be on the same tier. And for C2 both of them are on par for increasing the entire team's damage, but let's not forget that furina HP gets insanely high which can make her tank the highest damage in the game.

that not even close to true, if that was case, venti would be the best unit for every abyss

@@ChAnTAxR venti is a shit grouper in most situations, he's too niche which is what holds him back

@@ChAnTAxR venti does grouping? 90% of the enemies aren't affected to his ult lol

@@_makoisn’t venti a better grouper than kazuha. He just doesn’t buff like kazuha

@@_mako that is just failed information, the reason people use Kazuha over Venti is because of his ability to buff %DMG, not the grouping, if all you need is grouping Venti is just the best

you can also run instructor bennett which is already 120 em so more em from kazuha will diminish

This is my crossroads as well. I play international tons so it would be a nice increase for my favorite characters best team but I've minmaxed quite a bit and I don't really find the team lacking anywhere. Plus I would probably have to alter Xiangling's build again since she has an EM sands and my Benny runs instructors.

While on paper it might not seem so amazing but sometimes it can be difficult to fit in that EM that you need. Kazuha c2 is just very very good in the International team. Xiangling will snapshot the EM buff and Childe will get the 200 EM for his burst as Childe normally does not want to invest EM into his stats. Xiangling is also very stat greedy. She wants ER, EM, crit rate, crit damage, and attack % in her stats. This makes Xiangling much easier to gear. Kazuha c2 is often the biggest upgrade you can give the team over something like a 5 star weapon. It is also significant in aggravate teams. Your Keqing or Yae will hit significantly harder when they are on the field. Anyway the constellations listed as great would all be considered broken a few patches ago until Furina showed up. I mean is a 42% increase in damage from Raiden not insane for a constellation? It is just that her base form is not strong from a damage perspective. Meanwhile Neuvillette c2 is nothing amazing. It is just some crit damage. It is 6 or 7 crit damage rolls on an artifact. It is just that the base character is so powerful but it is not a big difference from c1 Neuvillette.

tbh his c2 isnt that good. first of all, there are only 2 teams in the game that appreciate his em buff (international, keqing aggravate and rarely hu tao ayaka melt) secondly, his burst animation is too long (~2s) its considered dmg loss in many teams using bennett. moreover, together with his c1, he usually takes ~4s to do his stuffs which means shorter bennett buff for the on-fielder. so yeah thats why i think its doesnt worth ur primos

@@AzureDrag0n1 Thanks a lot for your thoughts! I actually really like Keqing (though she's still at C0 🥲) so yeah that could be a team he fits in at C2. Will think about it some more and also see how Arlecchino etc. turn out before I decide :)

Nahida C2 would be broken tier if the Crit Chance/Damage wasn't set at a fixed rate and scaled. Still one of the best C2s in the game though.

​​@hallyuniverse I think Nahida C2 is broken if you run Alhaitham quickbloom with Nahida. Her C2 gives him a bigger damage boost than his own constellations

ur right on this matter in fact her c2 is kinda considered the wepaon and cons for all teams that rely on Dendro XD@@nickt463

As a C1 Neuvillette haver, I can just not care about anything basically

⁠​⁠@@Mr_AntiSocialAs a C0R1 user I already just don’t care about anything.

​​​@@jcp5302Yeah, but being able to face tank everything is a lot more fun than just more damage. This is why I'll always say c1>r1 for Neuvillette despite it being a slightly less dmg increase on paper.

@@voii0777 It really doesn’t even matter since Neuvillette clears everything at C0R0 on pretty much any team he can be in. If anything, getting Furina and up to her C2 would be better for Neuvillette and your whole account in general.

In most fights of playing with Kazuha, you can swirl an added element and gain the 3 stacks anyway. C1 imo is more of a comfort constellation, just a really really good one as you won't then need a shielder.

​@@icekyuuthat's pretty situational, you can't get another draconic stacks when fighting enemies w non elemental aura/attacks (ruin mobs/bosses like pma)

@@icekyuuBy removing a shielder you can also start to slot in more damaging units, which C1 helps to do that.

New characters are almost always better than a constellation. Because more options is more fun!

@@FilledCircle Yeah. After playing for 3 years I want to get some limited 5 star cons. I want to push a character to their limit as far as I can as a f2p. Building new characters is always a hassle than fun specially when you don’t have the weekly boss mats and have been building some other characters. At this point I want to improve some of my characters like Furina and Neuvillette.

@@FilledCircle I think yes and no. Especially when it comes to onfield DPS you don't have to Pull every character, just the ones you like and enjoy, these require a lot of investment, you only have one onfield DPS spot per team and new ones often come along. For Support/SubDPS just pull them, they are like puzzle pieces that help you build new teams with the characters you have fun with

His burst magically becomes able to suck in every opponent

@@TheGenshinScientistit should have been in his kit not consolation locked, they did him pretty dirty that he is one of the strongest cc in the game but cant suck big enemies, otherwise if he was able to, he will still be one of the strongest characters just like how he was broken before.

I pulled c1 but was worried about c2 if it would make using Key worse. I have Mistsplitter r2 as another option. Would her c2 or signature be better or is it really worth getting both?

@@dakotadawes2893 you can just run ER sands and hydro dmg goblet if you are worried about having too much HP, C2 is way better than R1, more personal dmg increase and more team dmg buffs. Festering desire or Fontaine's Pipe are solid weapons if you don't wanna run ER sands

@@marcomeinhof5393 I already run ER sands

@@marcomeinhof5393 I’ll use hydro goblet I guess. Thanks.

when would you every play yelan solo hydro for more hydro application to matter?

yeah, feels more like "average" or "okay" rather than niche

Yeah I skipped her weapon and got her c2. I use slingshot 80/200 cr on eosf. Her throws hit for around 10k and her skill over 20k

Im on the same boat, I want her c2, but that team its so strong that I never fail to clear abyss 12 with it, C2 may be overkill.

Nahida's C2 is an immensely powerful option. Especially for teams that already enjoy her company at c0. Alhaithem in particular will be able to double dip into this constellation by creating bloom reactions that can now crit, as well as enjoy the truly massive 30% defense shred for personal damage. Outside of that, this constellation opens Nahida up into teams that aren't exclusively dendro focused teams, as who DOESN'T love defence shred? Take it from me, if there are constellations in this game worth pulling, Nahida's is one of them. (OH and Furina's too.)

@Blackoutdmc Oh, thank you, I'm going to pull for it, I accidentally got furina's c1, so I'm sure I can save for her c2

A c0 Nahida replacement, maybe. Not a c2 Nahida replacement. For c2 Baizhu vs c0 Nahida, you trade Nahida's AoE application for better multi-wave application and Nahida's personal damage for healing. But they both can fill the dendro applier slot if dendro app is what you are mainly after.

Cynos c2 is comparable to raidens because he benefits from dmg% more so than other dps so it’s a similar damage upgrade for them both but raidens is probably more raw dmg since cynos c2 mostly benefits his aggravate dmg

I have both Raiden and Cyno at C2 and imo Raiden's is better. It transforms her to become a great DPS, i.e. she can be used in more teams as the carry. Cyno is already great at C0 and doesn't need C2 at all, it's just incremental damage he doesn't need and doesn't change his gameplay or his teams in anyway.

But he is still looking at the dmg increase? Less er = more dmg substats, but the more dmg substats dont do that much power level

The value of those cons diminishes if you are capable of building ER to hit requirements without them, a casual might accidentally get a lot bigger boost from them if they werent bursting every rotation before getting the cons.

For the 1% of players?

Why not? He'll still get hundred of thousands of views.

Honestly C4 Jean is kind of overrated. Her Anemo Res Shred only works when enemies are inside her Dandelion Shield and between her burst pushing enemies, and Xiao's plunges and Wanderer's Charged Attacks doing the same it's hard to really maximize its effects. Like its good for single target, unstaggerable scenarios.

@@crimsonECH1DNA 1) You shouldn't be spamming CAs on Wanderer, even without C1/sig. N2C combo plus Faruzan's CC prevent the enemies form getting scattered by the use of CAs. This is a much smaller concern for Wanda then for Xiao. That said... 2) Believe me, I understand the struggle, lol. She's a pain to use. But to be fair, in the practice, her C4 is good enough when she works that I still use her regardless. In the practice I find her so much better than Yunjin or Yelan (with Wanda), and her ER is way easier to manage too. I also don't have Mika so I haven't been able to really try Wanda+Furina teams without Jean so I can't really consider those either. But overall... I kinda hate how annoying and counterproductive her kit is, but also her C4 is just really major.

all of dehya cons are great, especially c1 which makes her dmg comparable to many c0 dps chars

@@mickysaif people still on that copium

Depends on if you already have faruzan c6. If you dont then you are likely to get her on your way to c2.

@@luminous3558 yeah i have her c4 rn

I just wanted to keep the higher tiers very small. Also Neuvillette's relative dmg increase is higher compared to raidens. Their consts have similar dmg % impact, but in Neuvillette's case it's increasing dmg that's already above 1 million consistently, while raidens c0 dmg is much below that. Overall I just felt like having Neuvillette as the only carry in the higher tiers.

Its never been that much better than other new options. People just view raiden in a 2.X lense where she was mostly the only good carry released after ayaka. 3.X and 4.X have brought a lot of very strong on fielders who all have good c1 and c2s which together beat out raidens C2.

@@TheGenshinScientist I do understand where you are coming from but then this no longer feels objective. If the goal (and how I feel you addressed all the other characters) is to flatly look at how big an improvement a character's c2 is over their c0, i.e. in a vacuum outside of variables like the current meta, than Raiden is absolutely still broken. Ultimately it doesn't matter, everyone should just play whomever makes them happy, it just felt like Raiden was being looked at under certain criteria that other characters weren't. Incidentally I'd agree with everything else in the video.

@@Corve Bruh C2 raiden is straight up worse than some C0 carries. In a vaccum it might be good, but when you look at the other carries, you realize that they gain more with "worse" constellations, because their initial number was much higher to begin with.
