A good chunk of my music is done by @tnbee https://www.youtube.com/@tnbee/videos they make awesome covers of hoyoverse music! check them out!

A lot of information in general I learn from theorycrafters and creators such as Zajef77 https://www.youtube.com/@Zajef77, The Genshin Scientist https://www.youtube.com/@TheGenshinScientist, Jamie https://www.youtube.com/@jamiekb9v, Jstern25 https://www.youtube.com/@jstern25, Flip https://www.youtube.com/@FliponYT KQM https://keqingmains.com/ . If I ever directly lift any specific info from any of them specificially I will additionally credit with a shoutout in the video or first part of description. I always do my own extensive testing of course, but often these guys create a baseline that every creator starts at, and most of us wouldn’t be able to do what we do to the level we do it without these guys creating a foundation. If you think anyone else should be credited here, let me know and I’d love to add them.

Where did you get your figures?
– Keqing is the official one, you can get it from many sites. expensive.
All the others are from ali express. They were around $40-$80 Canadian dollars including shipping, pretty reasonable.
– Nilou is amazing, highly recommended
Shenhe Nahida Zhongli childe are quite good
ayaka is solid
yoimiya is minimally acceptable
raiden is BAD do not get that one. Hu Tao is also very bad. They’re not displayed becasue of how bad they are.

  2. It's funny to watch Neuvillette fans trying their best to justify their favorite. I can say that he will suffer the fate of Al-Haitham. He also once topped the list, he was considered the god of this game, his team was the strongest. And now he doesn't even make it into the list of the strongest DPS. And what's most interesting is that almost no one mentions Al-Haitham in the comments. And no matter how Neuvillette fans justify him, the same thing will happen to him. Snezjnaya is approaching with its set of broken DPS that will move Natlan's DPS, so Neuvillette will have nowhere to go but even lower. Stop inhaling copium and accept the truth. There is no absolute DPS in this game and there never will be.

  3. What bothers me is that everyone on this list comes with a trailer full of at least two of the same support characters (Xilonen, Citlali, Bennet, etc.) How are two powerful dps’ useful in a dual team abyss chamber if they share the same teammates?

  4. Pulled Citlali, but I just can't double down on Muv with these 4-stars on banner with how stacked the second half is. Navia is love, so easy to play and Xilonen made me not miss running her with Furina. Just wish Bennet wasn't BIS for so many top teams.

  5. None of these can solo the abyss… Except Neuvillette, I guess?! Already forgot how he was used solo?
    I have both, but Neuvillette doesn't need his team to survive, while Mavuika feels made of paper. She deals tons of damage but so does he.
    Her o ly "advantage" is being frontloaded, so she looks like dealing more damage because you see a bigger number…

  6. Why is everyone so mad Clorinde is in the top 5 when she doesn’t sheet as high as like Mualani,Lyney when Navia is top 4 and she sheets lower than them and Clorinde too. But no one is complaining about her.

  7. Can we just take a step back and recognize that 4 of the top 5 were released during Fontaine while almost all of the Natlan main DPS's were relegated to honorable mentions? Yes, Mavuika (the PYRO ARCHON) is the new #1, but overall Fontaine was way more egregious at raising the overall power level of the game. Not to mention people complain about nightsoul restrictions, but that only applies to Mavuika and none of the other Natlan characters. You can argue Mavuika is a problem, but I ardently disagree with the idea that Natlan is powercreep or that nightsoul is a huge limiting mechanic in 5.X etc.

    Mavuika/Neuvillette/Arlecchino/Navia/Clorinde + HMs Hu Tao/Raiden/Alhaitham/Chasca/Kinich/Mualani/Lyney

  8. I consider Arlecchino the currently BEST DPS available – for simply one reason: 5.3 banners gave you CItlali & Benett, 5.4 are gonna give you Arle & Rosaria. Boom – complete team in 2 banner runs.

  9. Imo I just can’t put mavuika above neuvillete. She has a higher damage ceiling, but the versatility of neuv having basically a 100% aoe + self-sustaining capabilities + having flexible rotations + not being reliant on two 5* event supports (kekw) is just so important to consider. If played perfectly, mavuika will do better, than neuv, but for an average player as an on field dps neuvilette will perform better. I believe that ā€œthe best DPSā€ is not supposed to be the character that just does the most damage while having the weirdest and most restrictive team comps to ever exist. Mavuika’s reliance on reactions is another thing that in my opinion makes her overall worse than neuvilette, but I see why she might have a better pull value since she also has support capabilities, but as a DPS strictly I’m unfortunately unable to agree with her being number 1

  10. Finally, someone who properly recognizes Mavuika for what she is. The motorcycle aside, the ease of setting up her teams an getting satisfying results is kinda insane. As a dolphin, so happy I got Mavuika, Neuvilette and Navia, hopefully I'll be able to get Arlechino (in exchange of Citlali :() so I'll get my full meta team. Still salty though that Mualani isn't even top 5… I mean like 3 sharky bites every 3-5 seconds giving 200-300k vape adds up to Clorinde's mutiple instances of small pp damage

  11. even though i pulled neuvillette last patch, i can NOT be mad at mavuika being #1, neuvillettes damage is still insane, consistent, and hes my favourite character asw, im actually HAPPY that he got dethroned, bcz now i can enjoy his character without being called a meta slave 😭😭
