- Still too early to say the new best teams with sparkle but I have a sparkle team video now and safe to say replacing a harmony with her outside of DOT will either be just as good or even better in these teams :) - Forgot Himeko Hyper options! Pretty self explanatory but you pair 2 Harmony with her, something like Ruan Asta works! :) - We got the extra Sparkle info as of editing! Jing Yuan, Topaz, Ratio teams can all use her nicely as a result over Bronya (but so can any DPS tbh). She should now be Jing Yuan's best support over Ruan Mei. I included some Sparkle pairings but I will be doing an in-depth Sparkle team vid too! I felt the two topics were different enough, and you can just replace Bronya / a Harmony with her and try it out, she's way more universal than people are saying IMO. - Jing Yuan 4* Team: Hanya works as well :) - Physical MC I guess should've been included: Ruan Bronya for them kek.

since hes telling us to not take a shot every time we see Ruan Mei take a shot every time you see Bronya instead

just wanted to say thank you for always doing subtitles, it really helps :)

Oh lord, as someone who doesn't like Ruan Mei much as a character (I'm sorry!) and plan to save for people I like instead, your 4-star F2P options are a lifesaver, thank you so much! Other guides I've seen usually reccomend a ton of 5-stars, and I don't really have those (I don't have Bronya, Topaz, nor Ruan Mei), and I'm still saving for someone down the line, so having accessible options is helping *alot*. Once again, thank you!

This was so necessary. Specially with the upcoming sparkle banner. Always a pleasure to watch so well explained guides.

Your team recommendations are pretty much spot on! The problem is we can't use Ruan Mei or Topaz in every team haha, so we are forced to use other units to fill the spot sometimes. Thanks for the guide as always Guoba!

I love this types of guides, it's super interesting to have a ample view of the game and it's possibilities, great for new players with the 4* teams also for day 1 ones like myself that already have everything and don't know what else to build and want to try something different.

Really cool idea for a video. The one thing I would have brought up is SW for Yanqing, he specifically has a lot of his kit locked behind having the type weakness due to his ice shred and dmg amps against ice weak enemies. So I find running SW with him to be very comfortable, especially since he’s a hunt unit. Either way, this was a banger video, hope you can do more of these in the future!

Okay, that was actually a great video. Please make one of this for 4 stars(at keast four star DPS).

i think a dr ratio with welt comp shouldve been mentioned. they have such an underrated synergy imo.

i always know i can count on you for some quality and informative content. thank you ❤

I was waitingg for this one, thanks G.

just wanted to say thank you for your guides and videos!! i am a relatively new starrail player(TBL53 at the time of writing this) and i really needed some help understanding the game and your videos are extremely helpful,so again,thank you for those very useful and helpful guides!!

Great video! Love the teams and the reasoning behind them.

hey, Ive been watching your guides and videos since I started playing in the first JY banner, and I absolutely love your videos! One of the best hsr creators, and I’m really looking forward to your future streams. Keep up the good work

Thank you this video is the most informative I have ever seen

Thanks for this. Fell out of the game a bit over the last six weeks or so, and there's just so much new stuff constantly. This kind of video is a nice anchor back into HSR. Cheers.

I’ve been waiting for a video like this! Now I don’t have to look them up individually lol

So.....I should have pulled for Ruan Mei?

These videos are extremely useful for me as a sort of new Star rail player. I've been playing it for a few months now and burning through resources like nobodies business to build all the really good supports as fast as possible.

Holy bear, that's a really great video tbh

Blade clara ruan mei lynx is shockingly good. If you time your clara ult well managing aggro is much easier. Aoe and single target break and dps feel fantastic. This team shines in pf but is great for moc too. Ruan meis buffs + lynx aggro modifier and dmg buff for blade and clara is fantastic. Also because of blade and ruan mei being so sp efficient, clara gets to skill spam and it even leaves enough comfort for the occasional lyxn skill

would love to see more teambuilding vids in general! maybe like a vid with a formula for team building / what to consider when building a team.

Bailu crying in a corner.

Great video!

Mans really made a Yanqing section for the 3 people that use him. Respect.

I absolutely love that the first team you mentioned, the Himeko one, was something I came upon myself when I realized that her, Topaz and Ruan Mei all had really good synergy. Maybe if I get Gallagher, I can run him as a sustain as well in that team (or Aventurine obviously but if he's on another, I can have this as an option) Also my Jing Yuan team and DHIL are gonna be just fantastic and I can't wait....just missing the last piece for DHIL with Sparkle LOL

Amazing video Guoba!

Great video, I can see pulling on Bennet.. uh, I mean Ruan mei and her lightcone was a good idea 😂. Really though, I still build teams around characters I just like though. I regularly use Gepard, shampoo, Bailu and now Misha simply because I like them as characters even though I have stronger options.

Great video!🎉

i'd like to add about jingyuan team comps is that sparkle can buff jingliu unlink bronya which only last for the characters turn but with sparkle lightning lord still benifits from it so sparkle can be a consideration

Thank you for your hard work

6:40 instead of Topaz or Ruan Mei, you can also use Sparkle. Her crit dmg buff would stay until the start of Jing Yuan's next turn, meaning LR gets the benefit from it, also having action advance and skill point generation greatly benefits Jing Yuan's LR rotation

Would love to see video like this but for the 4 star dps chars

I think for bs tingyun is amazing for her. Allows for consistent bursts and huge stacks of arcana which sampo and trigger with his skill at e4 for decent dmg.

Very nice team comps! The teams I use now are Kafka-BS-RM-Bailu (sadge no Huohuo) or Gepard with Trend LC, and Ratio-Topaz-SW-e1 FX. Himeko-Topaz-RM-FX for Fire weak enemies. My only hypercarry team is on Qingque with e2 Bronya, TY, FX and also against Quantum mobs.

NEW GUOBA VIDEO 🔥🔥🔥

This js amazing ty

Would love a vid like this with every patch but with builds. a quick 10 min thing going ever every 5* and relics, stats, and light cone. I know 80% wont change patch to patch but it'd be nice to know whats the current "meta" whenever you get a character and wanna build it

Omg i need Topaz , 😢 , thx fot this video bro, very useful 😊

The bit by bit breakdown of why the characters are viable with each other was amazing and much appreciated. Wonderful and informative video as always, Guoba!

I'm so glad I made the decision to get Ruan Mei even tho I wanted to save my guaranteed for Sparkle. She was definitely a great addition to my account. So excited for Sparkle!

thank you! im having a hard time in pure fiction as a fp2 so, having this video helps out a lot

Amaizing video !!!!!

Legitimately was watching a guoba video when a notification popped up

I was already planning on going for Huohuo on her rerun, but now I know that it for sure has to be done 😂

With Ratio + E1S1 Topaz I’ve been using Tingyun… largely because RM is glued to my Kafka team. At least right now I thiiiink I prefer her to my E2 SW on this team. While SW is definitely comfier as the permanent res reduction both adds an extra debuff (meaning ratio will likely still follow-up if numby hasn’t picked a new target yet after killing the last one), and helps ratio more reliably proc the 4p debuff set, enemies just… die too quickly with Ratio + Topaz, so I feel like I’m not benefitting much from her def shred, and this team doesn’t have the skill points for SW to re-apply her all-res pen on every new enemy. Meanwhile, Tingyun buffs stay after enemy deaths and you get to spam ratio’s ultimate. Only caveat is having to deal with the aforementioned Numby problem.

I'm quite early to your videos! Can't wait to get Sparkle

If we could get an update of this video every patch, I would be so grateful.

dr ratio will be most likely used in the ipc team since the new adventurine can also apply debuffs

No matter the team I’ll always try find a way to slot in Guinaifen🤧🤝🏾

Nice! Favourite team: hypercarry jingliu and premium(idk why ppl call it this) dot. Maybe try having spesific or NEW 5* and which team they can synergise well for future videos! Now if only i have welt or clara, the only 2 standards(not you bailu) i still dont get until today

Gota love that of all options for High investiment the only one I can make is Kafka team because of the lack of Bronya, Huo Huo and Topaz

I was just wondering today which teammates I should raise for ratio, perfect timing🙏

Luocha was in so many teams. Never regretted pulling him he's so versatile

"The TOP Teams for EVERY 5 Star DPS!" sounds like a more fitting name for this vid, as always, love the guide videos man XD

So helpful, thank you!

Good video! Agreed with most of these for sure. Really kind of unfortunate how valuable Huohuo and Topaz are. Low spenders and F2P were forced to choose between Jingliu+Ruan Mei or Huohuo+Topaz, and the 4* selection on the latter was way worse (can't remember Topaz' banner actually, but HuoHuo's was egregious). I guess there's always reruns but with the sheer rizz of the Penacony cast it makes it even harder 😂 The one thing I'd say about the teams is I feel Clara's best role is actually as a tank sub-DPS hybrid with Lynx and maybe ER rope (have yet to try this but in theory). Been running with Ratio in both MoC and SU lately and it feels quite good. I also like that she has an invincible team with Luocha and March though this is definitely not going to have the best cycle clears.

I recommended comboing Dr Ratio with Tingnuts and Huo Huo (both very crucial for Dr Ratio, the last slot is up to your (RM, SW, Pela)

My go to team is Jing Yuan, E1 Fu Xuan, Tingyun, and either Asta or Hanya. It's not as strong as my Dan Heng IL team of course, but JY is my fluffy comfort character and he gets the job done. Thanks for this video, it's got some ideas for my other DPS that I'd like to try out, even though I don't have Ruan Mei or Topaz. And no Sparkle on the way either. I do at least have E1 Bronya. 😂

This was a lot of fun. However, I do like the comfort that Fu Xuan provides more so than skill points from Luocha or extra energy from Huo Huo which isn't that frequent anyway

This is making me really regret taking a break during ruan mei's banner

Kafka/Black Swan/Ruan Mei/Luocha is definitely my fave team at the moment! especially since i’m lucky enough to have e1 s1 Black Swan and e1 s1 Ruan Mei 🙌 ideally i’d like to eventually swap out Luocha for Huo Huo but i skipped her first banner (was saving for Ruan Mei) so i will have pick her up on a rerun 👍✨

hopefully this guide will help my lazy ass lol. been playing since day 1 pretty much (still got hella refills though, all jades go to summons too xD) but haven't ever fully 3 starred MOC :c

I was wondering for Jingliu, i do have E0s1 bronya plus E4 pela and huohuo, who huohuo is e0s0 with jingliu. How comparable is tingyun instead of bronya for double battery and better sygysy state uptime? I unfortunately do not have ruan mei btw, but i do have silverwolf

Something Id like to add to dan heng il is that if youre not going for his best hypercarry team then misha is a perfect sub dps for him! mishas ult scales off of how many skill points the team consumes and dan heng il consumes a lot! its a perfect combo and very fun

black swan, asta, tingun, any sustain will let you stack arcana very high with the extra turns and energy. The drawback is you won't have the ultimate every time for the dot set to work everytime but since you'll be loading your arcana damage everytime you ultimate, it works out quite well. Otherwise guoba's suggestion is pretty solid.

I been using topaz + clara ever since topaz came out and my god they really pair well

If i have bronya e3, do i really need sparkle How.much of a buff is she over bronya in dhil and seele teams

really cool vid, but idk if to put my tingyun on my dr ratio team or my DHIL team

Welp, really glad I have Bronya and Ruan Mei, but currently I don't have any of the characters that are the focus of this video (except for Ratio of course)

Hey just like for previous dps, can you mention how much spd is ideal on Jing liu and her teammates, i've been facing the problem when RM buffs spd my rotation gets messed up and jing liu comes right after bronya.

For thee welt team, can sparkle work instead of bronya? If so, will sparkle be better or worse?

A fun team I have been using a lot lately in Penacony is Topaz, Dr. Ratio, Lynx and Clara. It would be nice for this setup if I had Topat at E1 though.

surprised how often i saw topaz, which is nice bc shes my favorite character by far

Thanks for this! Can you do a 4* DPS one too?

Ive seen people have success with Huohuo Yanqing. He loses SSS a bit but it's mostly important that he has it for Burst and the subsequent Skill so it's not required to always keep it up. I personally use Gepard but I've seen shieldless work with him

I have a very slow DHIL because E2, what speed should bronya/sparkle have ?

My fav team is Xueyi & Topaz Dual Carry with Ruan Mei and Lynx. This team has a crazy amount of weakness break through the battle and works really well while you're still stuck in early post-game, truly has the problem of depending too much on the enemy's weaknes, but works decently well.

hii just asking if ruan mei is suitsble in danheng il team? instead of sparkle or bronya

do you think i will be able to clear moc with the high invesment topaz team?

Yo guoba! What do you think of triple dot(Kafka+bs+guin) if black swan is e1s1? How far behind will it be against duo dot+rm?

I've been learning literally every team is fighting over Ruan Mei's presence.

I'm glad there are 4 star options because my teams are one 5 star shy from giving Topaz her max potential

Hi! Unfortunately I did not pull for Huohuo. However, I have both Luocha and FX (E1) - who should I pair with for my JL, RM(E1), Bronya (E1S1) team?

certified banger

What're the thoughts on Sparkle over Ruan in blade comp? Get to drop speed boots and run hyperspeed bronya and sparkle. Idk if it's the best, but I'm having a lot of fun with it and it lets Ruan go to other teams

Been playing on and off for a year. I have Clara e3 from the free events this new year. Only good thing is to save for Sunnday or Archeon. ❤

The biggest thing I learned from this is that maybe I should finish building my Lynx and slap multiplication on them in comps where SP is tight.

For my Dan Heng IL team is Yukong E6 + Planetary Rendesvous S5 + Penacony Planar Ornament better than Tingyun E6 + DDD S2?

If you could help. I am running Jingliu currently with Mei, Pela and Gepard. I am pulling for Sparkle for mono-quantum Seela (To exchange for Bronya). Should I change E6 Pela for E1 Bronya without signature LC in my Jingliu team?

Jingliu/blade enjoyer here 😁😁😁 I also love running hypercarry blade he's just so cool

With her cone is better Sampo and Guinaifem or Sampo and Asta? I dont have Kafka...

I wanna ask,,characters such as ruan mei , is it possible to replacs her with sparkle? For example for dr ratios team (this question might sound dumb , since iam very very new to these kinda stuff and has no idea how to build teams at all)

Kinda surprised you didn’t mention a Sparkle + Tingyun team for Jing Yuan

E0s1 topaz won't do for ruan mei and Ratio? U still need SW instead of ruan?

I also think that Gepard is a great replacement for Luocha, especially for Dr Ratio since freeze is a debuff and he can apply it consistently

do i pull for huohuo or loucha? -- for more ref, i have fu xuan and gepard and lynx atm, my main dps is DHIL, KAFSWAN, i have tingytun, ruan mei, sw, pela and bronya built

i have one question regarding jingliu team can we jingliu bronya tingyun and any sustainer? now I dont have jingliu yet but in theory it seems like a perfect team maybe I am missing something?

For the high investment Dan Heng IL team, could you switch Loucha for Fu Xuan?
