Do you recommend running itto 3 geo rather with Bennett or with Mona? Itto already has a lot of attack so Bennett's boost might give diminishing returns while, if I understood her right, Mona boosts damage itself, which is a different part of the calculation. The problem with Mona would just be the lack of healing but i use zhongli anyway due to not having albedo.
I'm only here to comment about the Alchemy Stars 5* pull reference. Pulling a 5*/6* from that game is a whole different experience from GI.
This is why yunjin will be legend
Who's better? I have hutao homa c1 with xinqiu c6. Should i get itto C0 knowing that i wont get his weapon while i also have all the geo chars in the game including albedo and gorou and zhongli?
Itto is also great because he does great damage even with poor artifacts.
What's differences Xiao and Itto rely Burst deals elemental damage like plunge damage and charge attack?
Don't value character based on abyss uses 60% people doesn't care about spiral abyss.
Me watching this with my F2P C1 Itto with signature weapon: Hm….. Interesting
This is the very first video I dislike in a long time. Reasons are as follows:
– It's really late to release such a video (Banner is almost 2 days away from over)
I literally kept waiting for this video everyday, then decided to pull for Itto because I only got Hu Tao, Razor and Keqing as main DPSes and I needed to pull for another team since I can't seem to get Sucrose/Kazuha/Venti/Jean on my account
– There is no mentioning of good teams for Itto, except noting that he works well with Albedo. At least provide a few teams he can work with, or show us what he can do with Noelle and Ninguang
– No mentioning of best f2p weapons (namely the blacksmith weapon Whiteblind)
I'm a fan of the channel and the website, but really annoyed with that video
Does an Itto team deal more damage than a Xiao team?
If you're gonna be late at least be accurate itto doesnt have energy issues any more than any other dps
How is a Before you wish "Late" if the banner is still up, is it their problem if you can't keep your hands off your Primogems? The entitlement of some of these comments are amazing.
"Oh TCERS you should do PRE TC videos to Make Videos earlier before even the character releases so we can get information that is RELATIVE TO CHANGE and lacks the information of Practical Application in game. Also by the way, can you not spend time with your family/self during holidays and instead make faster videos for us on youtube?"
"Itto is easy just put geos how is it so hard to make a before you wish video" – Guy who even doesn't know his optimal combos and only tried the same team comp out of 40 fucking characters.
Yall are monkeys.
His AoE is subpar? I honestly feel like whoever writes these videos and me aren't even playing the same game sometimes. Genuinely what's your guys' par? Xiao is probably better, but who else for a carry DPS? Ganyu maybe?
Before you wish.
Me: was Itto banner not gone?
This intro goes so hard bruh
I'm so confused, tenten said before that itto team can reach similiar dps output like other meta teams while still being very easy to play, and you can master his combo more to reach higher ceiling. And now KQM said he's subpar dps unit compared to other meta team? 🤔
Bruh… Itto's Banner will be gone in just 2 days, most ppl already pulled him. I think it's better to change the name of this series to after you wish 😓
Theory crafting, especially this good and concise takes a crap ton of time, so imo it would be a huge mistake to try to rush these. Even if it's right before the banner ends, that still gives time to wish (albeit a very small portion), not to mention this'll be available for this banner AND all the reruns. Nice video as always, kqm 🙂
All the cons mentioned do not sound convincing. No crowd control only matters in floor 9-11 where enemies are spread apart, however in floor 12 where there are usually at most 3 enemies at a time this is not a problem. His AoE potential is more than Hu Tao who is primarily single target. One of his best teammates is Zhongli, who is a popular support and maintains very high consistency of Geo resonance. And with Fav Warbow on Gorou, Itto needs about 120-130 ER to maintain burst on cooldown.
The other problem is that there is no comparison given to other DPS units. Xiao cannot get energy during his burst, is much more reliant on battery, and his single target potential is weaker than Itto. I would like to see damage per second numbers against other top DPS characters for one rotation compared to Itto.
For people thingking "Wow this video was late" Reason? Holiday season
Isn't this information too late. The banner is almost gone in 2days . I kinda thought u guys wont release 'before you wish' vid for itto… But damn this is too late
Good video, bad timing
I will not stand for this hit piece against my boy
KQMs really hate characters who don't have access to vape or melt huh
Honestly fuck these kids complaining in the comments LOL. I pulled for Itto and came up with the same conclusions. If you're a Genshin veteran then you don't need to watch these videos. Go research the characters yourself if you don't like these guides. Thanks KeqingMains for compiling information in a quick video.
My take on Itto is he's a decent dps and easy to play. Feels really meh if you don't have your burst up and needs energy/battery for more fluid play.
"You can't swirl rocks" – This is the kind of insightful analysis that I subscribe to KeqingMains for, thank you.
i dont know why the serious "You can't swirl rocks." got me but it did lol
Any advice on his best attack combinations ?
Right on time.
new year's present
As always kequing mains here to reduce the world after the world has already been destroyed 😂, don't you think you should make a "should you wish" " everything you need to know" video at the start of the banner not like 2 days before the banner ends 😂
KQM before you wish series are subpar and not at all of the same quality as their websites full guides which are really good and well written in depth guides. Remember when they called Ayaka weaker than Ganyu and Eula in their before you wish video? lmao. I would say Itto is definitely not beginner friendly as Geo is a dank element with one of the best if not the best elemental resonances, but its so easy to squeeze out raw 700-800k damage out of him in endgame in his ult duration once you get everything right even at C0.
what's the point of this video when there's only a few hours left wtf. dislike.
Great video although I hope next time the videos would come sooner or at least inform us about when the video is going to come out in the future. I myself am reassured to skip Itto based on what was said about him not being a top meta or top dps character and the "pros" about him does not make me want to pull for him.
I think that he being geo is good
As I do not having kazuha, my teams are much weaker than they should be.
woah the new intro animation looks cool
character with taunt doesnt have CC. subpar AOE. lol
All these impatient ass people complaining about the video being late are legit trash 😂. Learn some patience – you should always wait until the end of the banner to roll
Nice upload timing, literally days before the banner expires…
i think it's better for u guys to make 2 videos instead
1 before you wish without much math just addressing what could be the possible downfall for the characters
and 1 more for actual review like what inside here
I know TC is hard but I think this video contains very surface level information (compared to other KQM before you wish videos) in comparison to how late this video is. Helping others that want to pull Itto last minute:
1. His ER issues is highly exaggerated. 3 Geo is very comfy yes, but I tested C0 Itto with 120% ER with only Fav Gorou in Abyss and he bursts off cooldown fine (though you need to pre-funnel when it is only Gorou. With Albedo, I don't really need to think about pre-funneling). Plus the fact Itto can E two times in his burst (so a total of 8-10 particles during his burst) also helps. What's on sheets VS playing the game especially when it comes to ER problem can be different. I think most Itto Mains can testify this lol (we are also surprised he doesn't need 130% ER at ALL).
2. You did not mention his best F2P weapon, Whiteblind. In fact, I don't think this video covers as much as Eula's one.
3. Itto is a def scaling, non-reaction DPS so he needs quite high investment (Lv. 90, High talent). Wish KQM will post guides soon with this in mind. Of course a non-reaction,def scaling dps character falls off compared to reaction (1.5x dmg), atk-scaling dps when you calculate it like that.
4. Itto can use Bennett, Geo MC, Ningguang, Zhongli if you don't have Albedo or don't want to use Gorou. Other than 3Geo, there are oven ushi and hyper Itto comp
5. Sexc geo resonance if we can't use swirl.
6. I do agree he isn't must pull for you guys because he isn't rEaCtIoN UnIt VapE mElT MetA, but he is very comfy and scales well with investment.
A C1 Albedo is enough to battery Itto
Itto's tankiness is not mentioned, him with Zhongli shield = tankiest unit in the game
I would be more interested to watch a team based ranking rather a specific unit ranking
You forget the CEO of GEO sir
I'm sorry but Zhongli is Itto's best support
We need shield to active geo res and who has the best shield in game? With zhongli shield and itto def this two is unstoppable
Gorou buff is nice but for me gorou is a cherry on top for geo team damage
