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.

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

By

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

Traveler's Tales: Plane of Euthymia A lone flash roars the skies Once more the fleeting light links heavens and mortals As the everlasting might descends once again Eternally casting away ephemeral darkness The hermit soul quietly cries Sealed along the eternal scars and memories A corruption that ate away at spirits And the senescence that defies perpetuity Irregularities are sure to arise When the foundation is a contradiction The unchanging times can be no more No matter how heavenly or ambitious Unbound to the chains of fate The hearts' resolve seeks no illusion Just as each of the lightning's shapes All lives thoroughly changes at each spark

Xinyan's Sweeping Fervor is inconsistent on high ping

By

Dear diary, today I want to share the possibly first combat issue related to high ping I've experienced. In short: - Xinyan's elemental skill, Sweeping Fervor , needs to hit three or more enemies to create a level 3 shield. - With the talent, "The Show Goes On, Even Without An Audience..." ,  Sweeping Fervor  needs to hit two or more enemies. - On ~ 275ms  even hitting 5 enemies might not trigger the level 3 shield consistently. If any other traveler was also having issues with the  Sweeping Fervor 's shield level, this might be why. Konagi-chan believes this is a bug and that miHoYo will fix it very soon. Here's a demonstration of the issue: Compilation of short tests A full run attempt Konagi-chan asked a friend to do the same tests with 30ms and the level 3 shield worked 100% of time. This ends my travel diary entry for today. I hope today's notes will be useful for future travelers. Konagi-chan loves testing things when the opportunity appears. Play, r
