Build Sucrose as a Carry: EM vs DPS

By

Dear diary, today I want to share an experiment on building Sucrose as a Main Carry for many different teams and identify whether these teams benefits more from Elemental Mastery (EM) or DPS buids.

Konagi-chan used this methodology:
- Clear the First Half of the 2nd chamber of the 12th Spiral Abyss Floor as it's ideal for AoE experiments.
- Each team will clear said chamber 5 times while Sucrose uses an EM build.
- Each team will clear said chamber another 5 times while Sucrose uses a DPS build.
- No relevant benediction buffs should be picked.
- Attempts where an unpredictable event happened are discarded. For example, latency problems.
- Teams triggering Electro-related Elemental Reactions uses Fischl's Ascension 4 (A4) Talent: Undone Be Thy Sinful Hex.
- All attempts are recorded.
- The completion time, in seconds, for each team will be noted down.
- The best, worst and average completion times will be calculated for each team.

Konagi-chan believes this was the best way to reach a conclusion and understand which teams benefits more from Elemental Mastery and which teams benefits more from DPS builds. If an EM team took considerably longer, in average, than the DPS counterpart, then the team is better if Sucrose uses a DPS build. If the EM team cleared the chamber faster or in about the same time as the DPS team, then the team performs better if Sucrose uses an EM build.

Here's the spreadsheet with the gathered data:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xBhF9IbvBBl1aJjX5g0O2Ycfse_KDIjYvL5CD9peo6s/edit?usp=sharing

Please note that this experiment tries to compare Sucrose EM vs DPS builds with AoE focus and not team compositions against each other, due to differences in character levels, constellations and investment. Single target strategies might yield different results than AoE scenarios.

For opinions on possible teams in regards to gameplay details, please check my next post: Build Sucrose as a Carry: Team comparisons.

Gathering data took longer than Konagi-chan expected. A total of 25 teams were tested with 10 attempts each on 12f-2A chamber, which reaches at least of 500+ chambers cleared, excluding discarded attempts and teams.

Only teams consisting of deployable, off-field, lasting and/or over time elemental application were considered. Teams that have negative synergy were discarded, such as Freeze teams that contains Electro characters triggering the Superconduct elemental reaction, reducing the efficiency of Freeze teams. 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 as the results may be biased because of the other support characters.

The results are, in short:
- All teams using Superconduct to trigger Fischl's A4 Talent benefits more from Sucrose DPS build.
- Teams triggering only Overloaded at a high rate (e.g. Sucrose-Fischl-Xiangling and Beidou/Lisa supports) may benefit more from Sucrose EM build.
- Teams triggering Overloaded and extra reactions such as Vaporize or Melt at a high rate (e.g. Sucrose-Fischl-Xiangling and Mona/Diona) may benefit more from Sucrose EM build.
- Teams triggering Overloaded and other reactions at a slower pace (e.g. Sucrose-Fischl-Xiangling and Kaeya/Barbara) may benefit more from Sucrose DPS build.
- Teams triggering Overloaded but relying on raw damage (e.g. Sucrose-Fischl-Xiangling and Bennett) may benefit more from Sucrose DPS build.
- Teams triggering only Electro-Charged at a high rate (e.g. Sucrose-Fischl-Xingqiu and Beidou/Lisa/Barbara/Mona) may benefit more from Sucrose EM build if the supports are well invested, otherwise Sucrose's damage as a DPS is still significant.
- Teams triggering Electro-Charged and extra reactions such as Vaporize or Overloaded at a high rate (e.g. Sucrose-Fischl-Xingqiu and Xiangling) may benefit more from Sucrose EM build.
- Teams triggering Electro-Charged and extra reactions such as Frozen and Superconduct at a high rate (e.g. Sucrose-Fischl-Xingqiu and Kaeya/Diona) may benefit more from Sucrose EM build.
- Teams triggering Electro-Charged but relying on raw damage (e.g. Sucrose-Fischl-Xingqiu and Bennett) may benefit more from Sucrose EM build if the supports are well invested.
- Teams triggering Frozen (e.g. Sucrose-Kaeya-Xingqiu and Mona) benefits more from Sucrose DPS build.
- Teams triggering Vaporize (e.g. Sucrose-Xiangling-Xingqiu and Bennett/Kaeya/Mona) may benefit more from Sucrose EM build if the supports are well invested, otherwise Sucrose's damage as a DPS is still significant.

This ends my travel diary entry for today.
I hope today's notes will be useful for future travelers.

Konagi-chan apologizes for taking too long to finish this experiment.

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.

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.
