  1. Well I disagree on electro and cryo others is pretty much perfect for me. As Shogun also has off field dmg dealing ability thanks to her skill so I don't get the point of fischl being a bit better. In cryo ayaka is a pure selfish dps and will not provide any support utility if you need. Which doesn't make her a future proof unit. Also remember hoyo has a habit of bringing hp based dmg dealer in every element so just going for a character for his offensive capability while knowing she will be replaced sooner or later doesn't make sense to me.

  2. Haven't got fischl yet, saving for kazuha, nahida has always felt a little awkward to use whenever she's available through trails and events recently otherwise I would have pulled for her over Kaz. I also enjoy using ayato and alhaitham so that might explain my choices lol.

  3. The Raiden vs Fischl thing is the only thing I disagree with. Don't get me wrong, Fischl is insanely strong, and there are many teams where she's absolutely better than Raiden, but I personally don't think that makes her a better character overall. While Raiden doesn't apply electro quite as fast as Fischl in her best teams, Raiden brings so much more to the table. Fischl really only exists to proc a lot of electro and do consistent damage. Meanwhile, Raiden gives you better energy generation (though Fischl isn't bad), she increases burst damage for the entire team, her off-field playstyle is a lot more comfortable and long-lasting, she doesn't play Circle Impact like Oz, and outside of Dendro teams you can of course build her as a hypercarry which also scales better with money/constellation if that's your cup of tea. Fischl's lack of i-frames in her burst is also a minor but still notable downside. Even if you swap off her burst quickly, it still leaves you vulnerable and feels more restrictive against aggressive abyss enemies like the Consecrated Beasts.

    They're certainly both great characters, but if I could only have one on my account forever it would without a doubt be Raiden.

  4. FINALLY someone who says fischl is better than shogun other than tc people thank you

    Oh also I disagree with the "electro relies on dendro" thing, soup, tazer and overvape are just as good as they ever were. Dendro gave electro new opportunities and don't get me wrong hyperbloom is literally just the best, but electro still has and always did have a good presence outside of dendro

  5. Honestly, I dont rlly agree with the electro thingi because while fischl has insane amounts of application and electro these days are more catered towards quantity over quality. Raiden makes up for it in her ability to boost(don't tell me it's not that high, ik I'm a Raiden main) burst damage and her raw damage potential. But all in all, I think that Raiden was meant to be played as a driver while fischl as a off-field machine gun. But tbf, if we are talking about the embodiment of electro. Raiden is a better choice because electro, despite public opinion, was the element of battery. Even it's resonance shows that. But this is all my opinion so we can agree to disagree. Raiden is a driver, fischl is the overpowered support.

  6. So glad I have all of those you mentioned, great characters indeed. Now I'm just collecting for those I like no longer what I need. End game can be fun to switch it up sometimes

  7. i dont understand how fischl is even near raiden. She is worse at carrying, she doesn’t have the best electro application (dori does) and even if she did raiden’s is pretty good anyways. What does fischl do that raidens skill can’t? Is that then more valuable than raidens burst? I dont think so.

  9. My very personal and very bullshit choices – feel free to roast me:

    Pyro – Bennett. Even attempting to discuss this is probably a waste of time, lmao

    Hydro – Mona. I like how her burst's damage buff helps large big burst numbers, as opposed to constant application. I have recently been picking Mona over Xinqiu and Yelan for Ayaka-Freeze :v

    Cryo – Ayaya. no questions asked. No wait, it's "Ayaka When", right?.

    Anemo – Sucrose. Only because I haven't pulled my c0 Kazuha yet, lmao

    Electro – Kuki Shinobu. (disclaimer moment: I do not own Raiden, but I own cringe-princess-Fischl) Kuki was my first pulled character, and if it wasn't for the fact that I pulled my Geo sugar-Mo- I mean, Ningguang before I got to Jap- I mean, Inazuma- I probably would be a Kuki main. Kuki provides healing by her skill, as opposed to her burst, which counts extra points for exploration teams imo, and her application has a larger AoE, not to mention it follows your active character – so I always saw Kuki as a QoL-buffed Fischl. I do respect Fischl's insane application, but I think I'd vote for Kuki->Raiden->Fischl due to Raiden's damage and Kuki's healing being great assets which our favorite cringecess will sadly never have.

    Geo – Noelle. everyone who has Noelle and doesn't build her is missing out on the true easymode of Genshin. I say that because you don't need to grind or pay for primos to get her, but she also trivializes content if built properly. To a lesser extent than Zhongli, sure – but then again, we're comparing a 5 star to a starter character (as you might have figured, I do not own Daddy Lapis – I mean… Rex Lapis).

    Dendro – Nahida (Yao Yao). I don't have Nahida, but I'd still vote for her, lmao. From the Dendro fellas I do have, I'm voting Yao Yao, because while her burst is active, nobody is legally allowed to die, and in co-op you get to contribute to spreading vegan/vegetarian diet for more players – much radishes, very nutritious. Honorable mention to Nilou here, because that Hydro tag on her is just for show – everyone knows Nilou is secretly a Dendro support, lmao.

    Physical – You see: I heard Eula is good, but I got actually physically hurt irl by meeting Yoimiya ingame and realizing she is a 5 star, and that either my sleep schedule, my wallet or both would have to be sacrificed in order for me to stash the necessary primos to get her. So in terms of ingame physical damage? I guess Eula does big numbers? But in terms of irl physical damage? Yoimiya, why you no rerun Q.Q

  10. I really disagree with the Fischl take. Isn't Kuki on a similar level as Fischl for most Dendro teams while also having healing. Also is Taser actually still common? I thought that team comp kinda died since Dendro release. All i see nowadays are Dendro comps, Freeze and Vape.

  11. raiden is a better electro applier, fischl isn’t bad but the cooldown makes rotations much more tedious, and raiden is MUCH better in hyperbloom than fischl. Hydro shouldve been kokomi because its the obvious choice imo (i dont have her nor want her, im a hu tao player but kokomi works for everyone else). The rest is alright, not my opinion because hu tao is best pyro but im 100% biased there

    Reply
  12. Idk if I would say fischl is better if single target then yes and only if c6 really. Fischl kinda falls off when there’s a bunch of enemies while shogun has an easier time with them. She’s still very good. And she’s very energy efficient too.

    Reply
  13. imo Raiden's flexibility as an universal battery makes her the top electro character yes Fishcl is currently stronger but as u said in ur other video her strength comes from Dendro's strength atm yet as long as expensive bursts will exist Raiden can find herself a place

    Reply
  14. Not that I disagree with the arguments but Ei is still better than Fischl, still being the best at electro application – Oz does not trigger hyperbloom very well as he only aim at cores when there's no enemy nearby. With her elemental skill, Ei takes the spot of fastest electro application (for hyperbloom) in the game. With that she brings to the table unlimited energy and a ton of damage. Fischl may be the best character for quicken and tazer teams but Ei is better for hyperbloom and mono electro team, plus she is still pretty decent in what Fischl does best (the opposite isn't really true) and she offers a good carry option for a lot of teams like the Raiden National or Raiden Soup that just spam the most potent bursts in the game til everything is gone.

    Tbf, Ei is not played in aggravate only because her multipliers are so high that you lose damage building for EM, would her multiplier be lower, the sheer amount of damage % she stacks with her passives would make her completly broken in quicken teams too.

    And that's without talking about how Oz can be a bit clunky with his uptime and mostly single target output (+A4 only trigering when the active characters triggers an electro reaction)

  15. predictions:
    Pyro – bennett
    Hydro – xingqiu
    Anemo – kazuha
    Electro – raiden
    Dendro – nahida
    Cryo – ayaka
    Geo – zhongli

    confidence levels:
    kazuha
    nahida
    zhongli
    bennett
    xingqiu
    ayaka
    raiden

    not my personal ranking, just what i'm guessing the video will be

    edit: okay i must say i'm really surprised by fischl overtaking raiden but i definitely welcome it. i've never been a huge fan of raiden outside of eula teams and personally think she's quite overrated and don't care for her character either. on the other hand fischl (and miko) are two of my favorite characters in the game and i think fischls placement as the best electro character is very well deserved, but was definitely a surprise

  16. Genshin simply created Geo as a purely defensive element with the crystallize reaction & the archon representing it's max limit of defensive utility & so many other Geo characters being defense scalers, so it's totally valid to have zhongli be the crown from the perspective of defense which the element was meant for & I think you need to have 1 Geo for the wolf lord then let it be zhongli that's it.

  17. I agree that Zhongli is #1 for Geo but disagree that Gorou is #2. As a mono Geo enthusiast since the (Zhongli and Albedo) back to back banners I can confidently say Gorou is not a must and he didn't take up the Noelle slot in my teams until I had unlocked c6. #2 goes to Albedo because he's useful in and out of Geo and provides elemental mastery for reaction team comps.

  18. I mean, nahida is just bc she has 100% uptime on dendro application, but fair enough. I bet if we get another off fielder like MC she'l be less used, cuz casting her E every times enemies die can be a bit clunky for rotations and may need her more time on the field.

    Reply
  19. i think kokomi should've get a honorable mention, in my opinion yelan is not necessary at all because of xingqiu, whereas kokomi can really allow you to play teams that wouldn't be very viable without her
