Build Sucrose as a Carry: Team comparisons

By
Dear diary, today I want to share my opinions on the many possible teams where Sucrose can be played as a Main Carry.

This post is a continuation of the previous guide, Build Sucrose as a Carry: EM vs DPS, and uses the same methodology, data and recordings.

Konagi-chan believes it was necessary to test this many team variations in practice to fully understand their strengths and weakness before identifying each team's advantages, disadvantages and viability.


Please note that while great effort was put in testing each team, some results might be different for each traveler depending on the characters' constellations and investment. For teams based on Electro-related elemental reactions, these notes assumes the team's Fischl has a very strong C6 build. Likewise, Konagi-chan didn't really build Kaeya, this means that travelers who have a strong Kaeya might use him for a more offensive role than just as an elemental aura source.

These notes also includes opinions about each elemental reaction focus and about each element the Elemental Burst can absorb and its implications for each reaction the teams mainly uses.

Only teams consisting of deployable, off-field, lasting and/or over time elemental application were considered. Teams that have negative synergy were discarded. Teams that uses the fourth slot in a way similar to quickswap teams were not tested. Teams that uses Shatter as main damage source were not tested. Teams that heavily rely on characters that Konagi-chan didn't build were discarded.

The results are, in short:
- Superconduct teams in general makes it hard to trigger Fischl's Ascension 4 (A4) Talent and are the weakest because of the low reaction damage.
- Overloaded teams are quite strong if the reaction is triggered at a high rate but have two issues: Overloaded can backfire sometimes and its explosion can split mobs too much making it harder to hit all targets with AoE skills or require constant repositioning. It's also possible to trigger Vaporize or Melt in these teams, making them even stronger.
- Electro-Charged teams are the strongest. These have access to Vaporize for high burst damage and Frozen for heavy crowd control. The reaction doesn't backfire like Overloaded and doesn't split mobs too much, additionally, it can launch enemies triggering fall damage at a slow rate. The energy generation is really high and can reduce the need of investment into Energy Recharge (ER) on some characters.
- Freeze teams are weaker and require more investment in raw damage but brings very heavy crowd control that makes up for not relying on triggering Fischl's A4 Talent. In practice it might require even lower investment than the other teams. The downside is that the character options are pretty limited.
- Melt teams were not tested because they require higher investment and Konagi-chan doesn't have well built characters for the roles yet.
- Vaporize teams, if well invested, are just as strong as Electro-Charged teams but harder to build. These teams can also make use of Frozen and/or Melt sometimes depending on the team setup.

Konagi-chan made a video playlist that includes one example of each team composition style, based on the reaction, and two extra videos featuring a team with Ganyu on 12f-2A and 12f-3A. You can find it here.

Konagi-chan also recorded one example of Overloaded backfiring as proof for its disadvantage:
This ends my travel diary entry for today.
I hope today's notes will be useful for future travelers.

Konagi-chan did not test Ganyu because she was obtained only after the data was already gathered.

Dodge Fatui Anemoboxer punch without using Stamina

Dear diary, today I want to share how to dodge Fatui Anemoboxer's punch without consuming stamina. In short: - When the Fatui Anemoboxer starts lifting its arm in preparation for the charged punch, walk towards its side to avoid the attack, you can walk either to the left or to the right. - This works regardless of the element the Fatui Anemoboxer has absorbed. - This works even under Condensed Ice slow effects such as the one from 12th Spiral Abyss floor. - This might require some practice to use in combat. Here's a demonstration: And a slowed down version to compare frames: This ends my travel diary entry for today. I hope today's notes will be useful for future travelers. Konagi-chan wishes everyone great holidays and a very satisfying new year!

Min-max Spiral Abyss floor benediction buffs by progressing over multiple days

By
Image
Dear diary, today I want to share how to ensure you have the best benediction buffs for the 3rd chamber during Spiral Abyss challenges. Konagi-chan finally completed all 9-12 Spiral Abyss floors with 36 stars and getting the best possible buffs greatly helped. On 12-3 having perfect buffs decreased clear time by at least 40 seconds. First you need to: - Complete all previous Spiral Abyss floors you can. - Upgrade and/or equip all characters, artifacts and weapons you're going to use for the third chamber. This is required because once you start accumulating the desired floor buffs you can't change your team nor the character, weapon or artifacts state. Restarting will require you to lose the already accumulated buffs. Then: - Enter the desired Spiral Abyss floor with the teams you intend to use for the last chamber. - Check if the floor buff on the first chamber is a desired one. --- If not: Leave and check the new floor buff after the daily reset. --- If yes: Clear the chamber

Dodge fire ball AoE (Spiral Abyss)

Dear diary, today I want to share how to dodge the fire ball AoE while attempting to clear Spiral Abyss. In short: You have to dodge when the fire ball is very close and collide with it during the initial i-frames and then get outside of its AoE explosion range as fast as possible. Here's a demonstration: Here's a slow motion of the first part  0:03 : Here's a slow motion of the second part  0:06 : When attempting this try to dash towards the fire ball when it's about to hit the character. If you miss the timing you might get hit by its initial attack or sphere AoE. If you miss the direction the fire ball will make a curve and throw off your timing. This might require some practice to manage consistently. This ends my travel diary entry for today. I hope today's notes will be useful for future travelers. Konagi-chan learned to dodge more efficiently after reading  this reddit thread . Play, read, watch or talk more about Genshin Impact: Facebook:  https://www.facebo
