I really had no idea just how much damage Nahida adds to a team until I used her skill on a bunch of Hillichurls and a lvl 1 charged shot from Fischl one-shot them all. That's crazy, isn't Kazuha similar in that regards? Rumor is he's coming in one of the next two patches

Nahida enables a stupid damage hyperbloom team. Kaz buffs the hell out of your carry. They're both extremely good pulls in different ways.

You're the reason I've never gotten anything under 78 rolls on the character banners!

Rolled a jean on the character banner from my old account, which is fine because she was already C1. With the spare fate I got from starglitter I rolled on the standard and got...Another jean. Now I have a C3 Jean. Honestly, I think a C3 Jean with a looming C4 is a bit better than losing the 50/50 for Cloud Retainer

I wish I could get more Jeans. I have only c1 - my lowest con original standard character. Keqing is my highest at c5 which I won’t complain about because I like her. I didn’t even get one Jean until like the second year of the game.

So a more clean kit is out for Chiori and I've ran the numbers. If you have a single other construct she does a shitload of damage. Albedo+++. Even with no other constructs she bodies him. I don't know if that makes her 'worth' it with Navia though. Her damage really takes off with a second construct. I don't know why they would make a second geo after Navia broke the mono-geo curse, and instead of building off what Navia did, they just curse her again.

So I guess Chiori is a dedicated ... Geo Traveler support? Or just big off-field geo damage when paired with Albedo?

Geo really needs a Nilou or Nahida. Navia was a step in the right direction, but not far enough.

She's Albedo+++. Even with no other constructs she should out damage him. With constructs she's doing Ayaka burst levels of damage. If you're a mono-geo fan, she's an incredible pull. If you're a Navia fan, that's way more up in the air. If you don't have brain damage like me and actually use Bennett, I think she might be the best geo for Navia regardless if her damage isn't at max potential? But Zhongli offers a lot of comfort that isn't reflected in max dps calcs. Hard to say right now.

Well, that sucks for the handful(?) of Albedo fans I guess. Hard powercreep on a limited 5* with an even more limited signature weapon is a tough pill to swallow.

Again I'll just say use them together. If her damage ends up being as crazy as stated (though this is crazy early so grain of salt with that) you could run both Albedo and Chiori with a healer or shielded and then literally whoever the hell you want for the frontline.

My biggest question is if Navia's C1 eliminates her construct requirement or if it allows for a third doll? If it's the former, then Navia will work just fine without an additional construct creator.

For that matter, Geo Traveler does offer a 100% uptime 10% crit rate if you give them enough energy to ult on CD so that's a consideration.

I do appreciate that between Navia and Chiori, Hoyo is at least trying to make Geo interesting.

Now that I've got Navia in a decent spot, I'm having a ton of fun with her. Unloading all three shells into someone and getting those big numbers is very satisfying

Xianyun is so silly lol, anyone that thinks shes a dedicated Xiao/Gaming support got hornswoggled big time. Favorite team right now: Navia/Furina/Yelan/Xianyun, the big slaps are so satisfying. Can't wait to finally get her to A4 today or tomorrow and finally get, the actual numerical benefit she's designed to give the team.

I did not have a team in mind but I still got The Bird because I like her. Maybe I can put her in a team with Eula who I also got because I like her and did not have a team in mind at the time. But Eulas Glacial Illumination skill makes no mention of Plunging attacks charging it unless it is counted as a Normal attack, has anyone given this combo a try? Maybe it would still work and you just do normal swings while that is charging.

That odd feeling that comes with the realization you need to grind out the new artifact domain when you don't have Navia... because Xianyun wants the healer set. Weird.

Edit: Well, I don't have Xiao, so I guess she still wants VV for a say Furina/(Neuvelette/Yelan)/Fischl comp. Might still want the new one for VV Kazuha teams, though.

It's not like she's particularly synergistic with bennett. Their buffs don't scale each other, they're both healers, and plunging into a circle is hard. Furina's the more op assist here.

I noped out of the new region as soon as it forced me into some quest. I just wanted to start farming her mats but I don't have time for genshin quests right now.

Oh well mats can wait. It's gonna take me ~7 weeks to get enough narwhal drops to level her talents so I eagerly await being able to use Cloud Retainer sometime in late march. :stoked:
