Huh? What?


so it looks like it works just like riptide does and also generates energy each time the reactions proc off the mark (like riptide). that combined w/ the 50 cost for her burst means her burst is gonna be up REALLY often :v:

Her burst had a longer duration than the cooldown as well from what I saw, so it didn't seem like you would ever need to activate the 2 hydro passive nor need to consider having another dendro for energy reasons. Which seems kinda weird to me?

the hydro passive from what i read makes the pyro/electro buffs stronger, so the pyro one gives more damage and the electro gives even more duration reduction between procs on her E

The point of the 2 hydro passive is to enable longer/slower rotations. Stuff like Xingqiu or Ayato's long burst cds, or even Fischl in hyperbloom, mean Nahida's burst would run out halfway without her duration bonus and you'd have to use it twice per rotation.

Seems like Nahida is gonna be the premiere support for Cyno in that case since he wants to be on field for so long during his burst. Kinda expected her to be his ideal support regardless but her burst having good long uptime is especially ideal.

The unlucky part is that the character who wants it the most, cyno, can't actually use it effectively because hydro turns off quicken. (she is still beyond perfect for cyno and losing 4 seconds of her burst passive is not much of a problem)

On a different topic Nahida's E trigger requirements have the most consequences for Nilou. Figuring out which nilou comps work will take a lot of experimentation in terms of how the bountiful dendro application and hydro application interact... it sounds pretty fun to play around with. My dream is somehow fitting in Ayato to filling up entire rooms with hydro and dendro and exploding cores...

Hydro extends the duration of Nahida's Q. Cyno wants that the most as a field-time hog, but running him with Hydro is awkward.

Maybe this looks like a job for Barbara!

it still triggers from all reactions, not just bloom core explosions. just hitting a dendro'd target with hydro and triggering bloom will trigger the tri-karma damage. then when the dendro core eventually explodes that's a second potential trigger, limited by the 1.9s cd.

her burst has a 15s base duration (and 13.5s cooldown) and gets an extra 4/6s duration if you have 1/2 hydros in the party. since a cyno quicken team wants 0 hydro, you will not be able to get that duration bonus, and nahida's burst will wear off before Cyno's does. however the mark from her skill still lasts 20 seconds so you will have no problems applying enough dendro for the full cyno burst duration

The only bad thing about Nahida for me is that she's basically roughly what I wanted from an onfield dendro, except that she's stuck in a baby body with no movement options. I wish she could like, transfer her kit numbers onto an adult male martial artist. She could canonically do this, maybe?? Even then it's not like this makes her bad or anything, it just means that a hypothetical future character, which might not ever have been made, is a bit less likely to be made. Can't get sad about it.

Her downsides do suck for Cyno mains, but that's a Cyno field-hogging problem, not a Nahida problem. Cyno wants Dendro Thoma maybe. That's a character that'll probably be made at some point.

Yes - but nilou's bountifuls explode almost immediately (.3 seconds I think?), meaning they can't retrigger E.

Speaking as an accidental cyno main, complaints are totally overblown. You're losing 200EM and like... one E trigger over the course of a third of cyno's burst. Your total comp damage would go up like 3% with 20s Q uptime. As it stands her design is an absolute gift to cyno.

but nahida will be great at off-field stuff, she is like a dendro version of albedo/fischl in terms of long term consistent application (and damage). she'll probably be the best partner for Cyno since there's no way they're gonna make Baizhu better than the archon in her own niche
using her as an on-field driver is gonna be a much more niche playstyle probably, although still pretty decent. i wonder how she'd do in place of sucrose in a taser team.

Nahida burst sounds perfectly fine for cyno. His burst does in fact last too long and with 134 er, tf 4 piece and fischl on the team any target that lasts 12 seconds of his burst basically guarantees its ready off cool down and can be ended early. At least that's how it's been in practice. World bosses are lot of fun with him, it's non stop ripping and tearing

Probably terribly? Or at least it wouldn't be a taser comp. I imagine it'd mess up reactions, also no VV. It'd probably still be good by virtue of tons of poo poo going off constantly.

Well, if we mean taser very literally (fischl/beidou) it should be pretty strong. Beidou lets you avoid Venerer because she secures the most crucial first -10% resistance down. Nahida + Fischl + Beidou is grotesque for a lot of reasons, +1 can be bennett or zhongli or lord kazuha it doesnt matter much.

Truthfully my first master plan is Cyno/Beidou/Fischl/ProtoamberNahida. This team should be rly good and running keq with beidou doesnt feel that good because she spends so much time jumping and running around.

I'm about to hit AR45, which from what I can tell on the wiki looks to be a good time to start grinding artifacts. I don't really mind doing so, but I hate when I get a domain that my main party is bad at doing, which from what I can tell is every Hu Tao domain. Like I don't mind having to pray to the RNG gods for good artifacts, but struggling in the domain to do so is very annoying. So when I did Venti's trial today I was quite pleased - I haven't encountered too many heavy enemies in regular domains, so is he a good character to help generally make them smoother? If so I'd really like to pull for him to help me get into gearing out the rest of my squad. I also have a R3 Stringless which seems like it'd be a very good bow on him.

I'm AR45 fwiw, monstadt/liyue/dragonspire are all pretty much complete. Got a shitton of primogen from occasionally logging in over the last year just to claim poo poo, I don't have Venti, is it worth trying for him on the current banner? Or is he garbage tier now?

Kind of. He doesn't work on every domain - for example he won't do that much for you in strayer, emblem, noblesse (unless you discover the ancient november 2020 art of mage corner swirl), and has limited usefulness in crimson witch. But he is comically unfair in domains like venerer.

I found a different one (at least, I don't think it unlocked anything), but I killed the flower while fighting the dudes around it. Turns out yanfei's burst is actually quite large, even if I did have to schelp her around to find things to kill to charge it up.

I can't speak for venti, because I don't have him, but I feel like I've heard that stringless is quite good for him. And yes, the domains sorta have the issue that you need to do other domains to get other people good enough before you can tackle the ones you want. Kinda like how you want a hydro guy or two to sort out the crimson witch domain. And yeah, hu tao is a pain in the talent domain unless you have c1, because you'll end up with pretty bad stamina issues. I use yanfei for that, mostly.

But yes, I think ar45 is when you can do the lv 90 domains, and those give you the best stuff, so that's when you want to start in on the grind.

e: but the daily battlepass missions still asked for 150 per day so they were impossible without logging in 2x per day. and the weekly use-resin BP mission was for 1600 instead of 1200, so it was literally impossible to complete it without stamina resets

It was added in 1.1, along with increasing the resin cap from 120 to 160. At the time people were mad because it was making daily content shorter and "pandering to whales refreshing their resin" and "not fixing the underlying issues". (I don't miss 1.0/1.1 discourse)
