I see a lot of people acting like Fischl is just a support but she's not. Her basic attack string has almost as much DPS as Diluc and Razor, she's absolutely designed to be a carry if you want to use her that way. The main issue she has is that she's split physical/electro damage but you can just gear her for atk/crit/critdmg and she works fine as a carry especially past C1 with Rust.

Fischl's got the best values on her uncharged shot combo, even above Childe. And given Ganyu will be charge shot centric I bet Fischl will beat her out too. Combined with the constellations that add bonus Oz shots yeah she'll be really great with investment. The big drawback to her is that she's really only doing single target DPS.

The main issue is that most combat situations involve more than 1 enemy and claymore is just a better weapon for that. And Diluc is pyro in an element that he's allowed to crit on reactions.

Is it really that hard to program different target priorities for objects? Honorable mention goes to cooking pots, and sometimes fences that are right next to my target.


This is my biggest gripe with the game. You can make an auto-targeting system which takes my right-stick input as a suggestion to as to what I'm aiming at. Genshin just says "Aiming at that Fatui? That's cute. But I know what you REALLY want to attack is that fly that is slightly closer to you."

Yeah, you should really have at least two characters on a team who are just there to activate a skill and go away. Which is why I almost always have at least 2 of Babs/Fishl/Xiangling.

I use her as my second group DPS for the split Spiral Abyss. Her single target dps is decent, but it practice it feels like there are things that don't translate as well in-game compared to a straight math calculation that make her somewhat worse. One thing is that when auto-attacking you don't have the same level of control on what target you are going after. Another is that a claymore user can hit multiple mobs with a single attack, while a bow user cannot. Also, it does not seem like there is much knockback on her arrows, where if an abyss mage starts shielding up she cannot block it very well, while a claymore user can fairly easily knock them off their feet. As mentioned, I use her as a dps at times and she is fine at finishing off weekly bosses if a melee dps dies and I don't want to waste a steak, but it does feel like the overall low "impact" of her hits factors in on some enemies.

Yes, Diluc is a better carry. Razor arguably too though Razor's AoE damage is negligible since he's all about physical and most of his wider hitting AoE is electro based, Razor is mostly better because his basic combo puts out the highest DPS in the game and he self buffs his attacks like crazy.

IME most of the time the AoE on claymores doesn't matter that much, almost all AoE ends up coming from ults and skills that explicitly hit a wide area like Diluc's ult.

This.

I have a Sucrose in my party a lot and she's real good at pulling enemies together so I can smack 2-4 badguys at once with my claymore.

Without some kind of grouping character it's hard to take advantage of the AOE though. The best you can get is using overload knockback to push enemies towards each other / into corners.

Meanwhile I'm still tempted to toy around with artifact sets to see if I could make Albedo more of a DPS than a support. I think it mostly just comes down to swapping 2pc Defenders for 2pc Gladiator or Noblesse and going for a 4/5* damage focused sword in place of Harbinger of Dawn to balance out the damage between E and Burst. Because yes I'm the crazy bastard that would want to try to turn C0 Albedo into a main DPS.

I don't understand why you'd want a second HP artifact over heal% if you're trying to minmax his healing anyways.
If you're just using benett as a healbot like that he's not gonna be on the field enough for tankiness to really matter -- you just tap E or Q and then switch out again ASAP.

hp being easier to get than heal% would be the main reason. he heals well enough that i wouldn't bother going after heal% when hp mains would do

You should not give Albedo an ATK% hourglass unless you're trying to do some main-dps auto-attack-damage shenanigans.
His transient blossoms have 0% attack scaling. They ONLY get damage from defence (and crit, and geo damage).
You want a Geo cup, Def hourglass, and Crit/Def circlet. With the 3* Harbinger of Dawn sword, ideally.

dogsicle posted:

there's not really a need to get that specific when following a list of prioritized stats will basically dictates the build. a character wanting ele%/phys% means their cup slot is spoken for. wanting crit stats means that's the hat they run. any other stat like atk/def/hp/EM/ER would go in their sands slot, and then you also try to get everything from that list in your substats on all the pieces. some stats can be doubled up on, offhand i can only think of like Diona running hp cup/hat or Sucrose running EM cup/hat etc. but based on their lists in this sheet you could arrive at that conclusion.

so like Albedo lists geo/def/crit/ER, this means you build him def%/geo%/crit or def. he actually doesn't run mainstat atk, but i wouldn't turn down atk% subs on a good piece since they will boost his burst damage.

I'm glad people jumped in to offer some advice because that's the exact kinda stuff I was looking for. That and things like specific numbers to aim for, like what was it, 200 EM on Bennet or was that ER? Obviously you want over 1000 atk by 60 but an idea of how high to aim for per WL would be nice.

200% ER for Benny if you want the max uptime on ult, anything over that is considered superfluous but won't kill you to have

Energy Recharge is the only stat that really has magic-number breakpoints.
For example, if you use Bennett as a main DPS, 175 ER is (apparently) the threshold where, you can mash E on cooldown and, from Benett alone, you'll generate enough energy to use your burst again the second it's available. If you use Bennett as a support for a non-fire team you'll probably want higher ER than that, since you probably aren't switching to Benny every 4 seconds to use his skill, and you definitely aren't switching every 2 seconds during his ult buff.

All the ER stuff is team-dependent, though. If you have two party members of the same element, they'll both need less ER since they get bonus energy from each others' element-matching particles. (Particles that match the character's element give 3x as much burst meter as other colored particles.) If you have a character who generates tons of energy like Venti, Geo MC, or C2 Ningguang, you'll likewise need less ER for the rest of the team.

There aren't really any hard target numbers for any other stat like ATK/EM/crit/whatever.

edit:

Also, there isn't really too much point in thinking about Energy Recharge breakpoints because you don't have any fine control over it.
The hourglass is the only artifact slot that can roll it, plus it can show up on weapons. So basically the decision making process is: "Do I use an ER weapon over a higher-damage one? (y/n). Do I use an ER hourglass over an ATK/HP/whatever one? (y/n)."
Beyond that it's just artifact substat RNG which you should ignore for the next 1 million years.

the reason you don't use fischl dps is because that's splitting your damage types

doing all physical with attacks, then electro from E/Q/C6 means part of your damage isn't getting boosted by your goblet. And you'd need superconduct AND a VV user to amplify both types of damage
the best DPSes are the ones that can make most, or all, of their damage one type, like Klee, Diluc, Keqing, etc, so that your damage all gets boosted by your goblet, and you only need 1 support to shred resist (cryo/electro for superconduct, anemo VV for anyone doing elemental primary). Its not like Razor, where he prefers physical damage though he has Electro, as that's mainly there to help him keep triggering superconduct. Fischl's electro damage is very high, making a physical build rather unwieldy for her.

And if you decide to take an Electro goblet instead of a physical one, why not just swap off of Fischl after pushing E and use somebody who's getting their basic attacks boosted by their goblet? Why not use somebody who can trigger more electro-based reactions for Fischl to proc her talent damage on?

Fischl's fine for autoattacking as a backup, but as a primary DPS she's far from optimal.

By that logic Razor is a bad carry too. You say that doesn't count because Razor's physical damage is very high but Fischl has access to Rust, a weapon with what amounts to +40% physical damage at R1, scaling to +80% at R5. With Rust you can effectively have the equivalent of both an electro and a physical goblet at once.

My point isn't that Fischl is the best carry in the game or some such nonsense, my point is that she is a top tier carry and players without Diluc, Razor, etc shouldn't just dismiss her out of hand especially if they have C1 and Rust.

using her skill shuts off her C1 so it'd be important to know how that affects her damage. given her burst is just an excuse to refresh her skill though, i suppose you can't really escape that and should just treat C1 as a bonus for the like 5s her skill and burst are both on cooldown
