One of my friends gave Fischl's Thundering Fury EM set to his level 90 Shinobu, and she's cleaning up with the hyper blooms. It's really a race to see how much dendro/hydro application you can get.

I've been trying out different burgeon teams, and I think the best burgeon applier may be Bennet. It sucks that pyro reacts with both hydro and dendro, which means off-fielders tend to eat your reactions. Being able to tap e to set them off, and still have enough time left to take another swing at any you missed is very convenient.

The existence if the teapot basically makes grinding friendship pointless IMO. You'll finish someday due to the pot, and unlike, say, Arknights (where you might need 100 to unlock a module or something) there's no gameplay impact in Genshin.

I've only had every member of my team be at 10 friendship for, like, 2 1/2 weeks. Even with teapot + including them in your commission/resin teams, you still have to keep up, unless you're not rolling for characters.

Managed to win another 50/50 and nab Tighnari, but I'm a little lost as to how to build him, do you go atk sands/dendro goblet/crit hat on him, or is his EM scaling strong enough that you deck him out in full EM artifacts?

Atk/EM sands depending on if he'll have a good set up for reactions. Other than that, he looks like a pretty standard build. His artifact set is highly dependent on team comp, which kind of sucks considering they have yet to implement assigning artifacts to a set

Dori's burst generates energy so she might work slightly better for characters that are more energy hungry. But she's also saddled with an 80 cost burst so that's awkward. She may wanna stack a whole lot of ER% given her 2nd ascension passive gives her free energy for using her skill (up to 15 per at 300% ER). I dunno, on paper she seems like she'll be awkward to build since all of her utility is on her 80 cost burst and you have to find a balance between ER% and HP% if you also want her healing to be good.

That... actually sounds nice! She can be my new skyward pride holder.

It's a shame inazuma is so potent when it comes to artifact routes... I would prefer to never set foot there again.

Is it, though? I know the reactor is the best place to finish the route, but most artifact spots in inazuma only drop 1 artifact. Lots of what I’ve seen in sumeru drop 2, but i’m not sure if they respawn.

believe it or not dps kokomi DOES exist though, it's just not 'slap a weapon on her and go', you have to actually artifact/team build for it... and her ult is really useful for that, because it buffs her attack and jellyfish damage by a scaling amount of her max HP, which at level 7 is around 7% of her max HP. which can scale up pretty drat high with the new hydro resonance. (its around 11% at level 7 for charge attacks/jellyfish). you really want her C1 for that though, because it gives her ult an extra effect where the final attack in her NA chain fires off a fish that deals damage equal to 30% of her max HP with no cooldown on it

Sub DPS Kokomi is good and is a thing. She needs to clam set to keep up, and farming it to get either a hydro goblet or a healing crown will give you lots of opportunities to weed out those pesy crit rate and crit damage stats she can't use. Lots of opportunities. It took me soooo drat long. Was worth it, though. She's one of my favorite characters now.

People who like Kokomi really like her.

Most eosf users do prefer an elemental goblet unless they get extra total damage from ER like mona and raiden do, but excellent substats and being on set can make up the difference.

I went to the math section on when they were calculating HP gob vs hydro gob for Yelan. Basically, if Yelan is using a weapon (or an artifact set like EoSF with a high ER) that gives her a high DMG% bonus, then an HP Gob will beat out a hydro goblet by a small amount (about 1-2%). If the substats are much better on HP goblet (they are much easier to get), then it will win out in those circumstances.

I rolled for ayaka on a whim (and randomly got her off-pity) just because I thought the dash infusion thing seemed cool. And then I realized that 85% of her power is in her burst and didn't use her for a long time, besides dashing across lakes.

Now that I have Kazuha she actually feels playable.

I think Klee is pretty much unusuable without Kazuha. I got Kaz first, so I lucked out. She's a top rate 5 star with him in the team and pretty forgettable without him.

I've actually found it better to use the skill after a burst if you're going in a strong rotation. After fully healing your team and pounding the enemy, lay down the jelly fish to apply hydro and keep healing on field. It also generates energy for her.

Disclaimer here is that I only use Koko in freeze. There's probably room for her Q in taser or hyperbloom or whatever - I have zero idea. I was specifically talking about the rotation in a Ganyu/Ayaka/Venti/Kokomi team. She doesn't get field time there.

The two teams where I find she really shines are are Mono hydro Yelan/XQ/Kazuha/Kokomi and Kokomi taser Beidou/Fischl/Sucrose/Kokomi, in the first she's the driver, in the second she's the emergency carry when you're getting beaten up by floor 12 or need more time for cooldowns.

Another great combo is Raiden/Kokomi. You can full switch between Raiden burst and Kokomi burst and they both provide their respective element off field.

Kokomi also has amazing synergy with dendro jump pads. It might be a preview of how crazy she'll be with a strong dendro support.
