You're talking to the Genshin Impact community. An overwhelming amount of "Actually"☝🏻🤓 regarding anything, no matter how insignificant, is inevitable.

Genshin's META being focused more on Elemental Reactions and party synergy than purely on a character's individual power really helps older characters remain relevant no matter how much time passes.

I feel like Kaveh is probably one of the characters that suffers from not having his own team actually. Since Dendro works always around Nahida, Kaveh's best teams can't properly generate blooms, so the ones who generate blooms are the hydro units. An EM scaling hydro unit is the only way he could rise some tiers.

Its true. At time I feel that Nahida's strong dendro application works against her at times. She makes Electro swirl tricky, she makes generating blooms tricky as well. Thats why you have to run Xingqiu. To my knowledge him (and maybe c2 Yelan) are the only hydro units that can actually overwhelm her dendro application long enough to have the Hydro Aura on enemies. She also still suffers from not being able to take on waves of enemies. I can only recommend Kaveh only in Nilou bloom teams. With Nahida(especially c2), Nilou, Xingqiu, then Kaveh as th le driver. Not every bloom can belong to kaveh, thats just how it is, but the team slaps non-the-less. For a more comfortable, but lower damage potential experience, could trade Nahida out for Baizhu.

Things you missed about characters: Candace: Also increases NA elemental damage during her burst time even without the Hydro infusion. Honestly if we get more Razor-like melee on-fielders, Candace would get a LOT more use because they can use the entirety of her kit. But even then, Catalyst users can use her quite well as is. Layla: strongest shield in the game behind Zhongli with 100% uptime because it's skill-based Dehya: *glares in C0 Neuvillette and Lyney teams* the fact so many Fontaine characters make themselves more frail and squishy through the HP drain mechanic means Dehya providing some interruption resistance and damage mitigation is MUCH more valuable than back in 3.5-3.8. I mean, she's still not top tier or anything, but at least her kit has a USE now. Then one who got snubbed COMPLETELY by the devs: Kaveh: he would be much better if they would let his buffs be activated with *any* Dendro reaction instead of just Bloom because his Dendro infusion is quite good for driving Dendro application itself. He SHOULD have been able to be played well in Aggravate and Spread too.

And interruption resistance is pretty important for Wanderer & we would not like the shield to break I didn't even mention other subtle differences like how Layla can have consistent uptime on Tenacity of the Milleth's attack buff (a less common buff btw), while Diona would rely on the Noblesse Oblige buff instead. Though if you're running C6 Faruzan with Tenacity, Layla's Tenacity set can be replaced with Noblesse Oblige & still get the job done (because her ult only has a 40 energy cost). Layla's C4 also offensively buffs Wanderer more than Diona's kit does. As a generalist, I would say Diona is better.

Part of me feels like some folks just didn't know how to build teams around him and only with time, tests, and a few new artifact introductions has he shown more potential. Not only that, but it didn't feel like he was given much of a chance to show his full potential since lots of folks skipped Baizhu and, thus, Kaveh too.

you are massively overrating dori at c6 to even get that teamwide healing you need to on-field her which wastes time for actual dps and even if u do dori dps team with her as the carry the overall team dps is low she not better than kuki in furina teams since even though kuki gives less fanfare she still gives more team dps through hyperbloom which she doesn't need to on-field to do unlike dori and doesn't need to be c6 to do it going past that dori even as a pure fanfare generator is still bad compared to the likes of jean,sayu,charlotte (maidens beloved Bennett) since these characters not only have better particle generation but also give better supportive buffs or elemental application she is still mid even now bro

Love the guide, you made us wait way too long, but at least you made it long to make up for it!

The only thing I was just flabbergasted was your take on Layla being a cryo bot for cryo app when she more excels at shielding. If you dont have Zhongli, play Layla.

I use dehya in the current abyss as she works fairly well in dealing with that plunge boss on floor 12-3. I think candace, dori, and dehya deserves to be niche.

The Dendro roster right now has the same issue that the Anemo and Electro roster has. You have 2-3 units who are so outrageously, ludicrously, OPPRESSIVELY overpowered that it makes even great units look dogsh*t in comparison. The whole "This unit is SSSSS+++ Tier so this S tier unit is D tier by proxy." bullsh*t. Tigh, Yaoyao, DMC, and Collei are all amazing units in their own right. Collei's actually one of the best Nilou Bloom drivers at C6 because of just how insanely front-loaded her application is. DMC's actually really good, and can emulate some of what Nahida is able to do serviceably enough that you can - essentially speaking - have 2 Nahidas in Abyss (or a Nahida and a Nahida-lite). Yaoyao's a f*cking chaos gremlin with a good damage burst (it hits as hard as Tighnari's burst, like deadass), great application, amazing heals, decent off field battery, and such an insane team flexibility that she's borderline ubiquitous. Kirara's actually made quite a name for herself with her shield. (She uses Sac Sword as her preferred weapon but not for the ER, she uses it because it insta-stacks her shield to it's full 34% HP + 4300 value, which can average about 15k easily. For reference, Zhongli's shield at 30k Max HP and Talent lv. 10 is 9623 which goes to 14.4k after the omni-elemental thing that his shield has, while Kirara at 30k Max HP and Talent lv. 13 - which is C3 - hits 14.5k by default.) The only unit who isn't in this list is Kaveh and that's only because he's *JUST a fine character, not an amazing one.* He's not bad, Dendro's just busted af.

I’ve found a sweet niche for dehya since Fontaine arrived. Specifically for chevrouse overload comp. It gives you interrupt and dmg resistence that I’ve found to be very useful, especially when the Fontainians have self heal. It’s fairly decent damage as well, as I think it’s the highest off-field skill pyro damage in genshin. And there are other comps now where being able to tank damage and not get interrupted is useful so I believe she’s niche now.

This was probably recorded before it was out but hunters path and beacon both came out on the last chronicled wish banner and I expect on future chronicled wishes we will see them again

In my experience, Dendro MC makes a great support for Alhaitham because his main damage source (Mirrors) scales off EM and inside inside Dendro travellers burst, you gain up to 60 EM which can improve Alhaithams damage quite a bit since 60 EM is roughly the value you'd get from a nice artifact, considering you also need CT and CDMG. Their burst can also make use of the 4-Piece dendro res. shred artifact. I'd put them in niche, even though their only value is tied to supporting Alhaitham. My team is currently Them, Alhaitham, Beidou/Fischl and Zhongli/xinqiou to make a spread or hyperbloom team. works well for most spiral abysses

CYNO ON THUMBNAIL LES GOOOOOO

i feel like scara isnt quite niche only because he's an anemo catalyst, which means he can automatically be a driver on other teams with more focus on sub dps (taser, xiangling national, etc.) rather than strictly as a hypercarry

@@angiewu8294 The problem is that Sucrose is quite LITERALLY the Anemo Queen right now next to Kazuha and Venti, and the three are so oppressively good that amazing characters like Jean and Scara look mid in comparison. Scara's a Hypercarry, simple as. If you're gonna do a Tazer comp with him it's a 2x Anemo Tazer comp with him, Faruzan, Fischl, and and Xingqiu. If you're gonna do Aggravate it's him, Faru, Fischl, and Kirara (because he HAS to have stagger resist or he gets swatted like a fly). If you're gonna do Freeze it's Scara, Faru, XQ, Layla. If you do traditional Hypercarry it's Scara, Faru, Bennett, and a flex (Usually Layla or Thoma). He doesn't simply slot into a team, he makes it HIS team, which can make all the difference in unit inclusivity. Kazuha & Sucrose just slot in, they don't have to be active drivers if they don't need to be. Scara HAS to be an active driver or carry.

@@sonofdeleniel007 i mean we may have different definitions of hypercarry but i take it to mean teams where there is 1 dps onfielder with almost every other character slot being used to amplify that dps's damage. for example, xiao-faruzan-bennett-xianyun, where you can maybe argue that faruzan or xianyun is a sub dps but if we're being real here, probably not. but in the teams you've listed, the focus is on overall team damage or even on the sub-dps, like fischl-xingqiu (you can even swap faruzan for beidou and build him full em + get stagger resistance with beidou's c1) and have it still be a viable team because taser is broken. and once you're building him full em, he isn't restricted to only teams with faruzan, he can be like any other anemo catalyst driver. and of course he still has his usual hypercarry team granted, as i said, he can't be as good as sucrose who has better aoe, grouping, and em buffing. but we're not talking about the absolute best teams here, we're talking about reaching the bare minimum damage ceiling to clear (barely existent) endgame, which he can reach despite not being the most optimal. no he isn't built to slot into every team the way kazuha or sucrose is, but if we're saying nilou is niche (considering she literally only has 1 team), i'd say scara is way more versatile. anemo units are almost always versatile purely because of vv and their ability to swirl, which as an anemo catalyst he absolutely can do consistently. you see this in abyss challenges and speedruns (those cn speedrun tournaments with a lot of limitations especially) where literally any anemo unit can be chosen and put on 4vv. sorry for the essay! just writing all my thoughts down :)

Candace does have a good team in Nilou bloom w/ on field Yao Yao. Also Furina has opened up on-field Nilou as an option for Mono Hydro w/ Jean or Baizhu as the healer.

When it comes to my nilou and Keqing teams I’m still quick to use dendro MC. Especially in multi wave combat. That burst field is huge, fine with energy, and lasts a decent amount of time. He also frees up Nahida if I need her on the other floor.

I've waited 2+ years to C6 Baizhu, and I'm not disappointed.

Candace does provide a decent elemental normal attack enhancement with her burst: the buff applies to all infusion types, so it can be good for Yoimiya teams or even the upcoming "Father". She's is pretty bad otherwise though.

i have fully built both collei and dendro mc for my nilou bloom and tighnari teams and can i just say, i have literally every dendro character in game other than kaveh and i find these two to be really excellent buffers, ESPECIALLY with collei's skill. i don't think any dendro characters need to be benched at all if you like them or want to use them, they all have niches they fit into. i find that collei and dendro lumine both result in a lot higher of a damage output from your dps than more 'useful' units like baizhu (who i have level 90 talent 999 fully built)

Collei and Dendro MC are specially good when you have multiple comps...something many people don't do. But in my case I do make a ton of team. I have to say even thought Nahida often offer more dps, the dps difference is not massive enough to actually be noticiable. This are my Dendro teams: 1. Al Haitham, Nahida, Yelan and Kuki. 2. Raiden, Xingqiu, Dendro MC and Diona. 3. Nilou, Collei, Yao Yao and Candance However the final comp really needs C6 Candace. But the combo between Yao Yao and C6 Candace makes this Nilou comp suprisingly powerful. As Yao Yao have tons of Dendro applications if she is on-field...which she now can thanks to Candace turning her attacks into hydro and giving it Aoe explosion to cause even more Blooms. Finally non of my dendro comp shared teammates. Meaning I can use them at the same time, if the abyss want Dendro on both sides...also I'm planning to build a burgeon comp, but as of now those comps feel incompleted. So I will wait for when they release a unit that make that comp viable.

I honestly think that answer should be very obvious. The power creep in this game has been minimal to the point where endgame genshin is more similar to an interactive art museum than a rpg bc most of the time, the combat lasts for a minute; minus spiral abyss but if you have decent, well built characters then it shouldn’t be too difficult. Therefore, how are the 3.0 characters supposed to fall off when the 4.0 enemies are only slightly stronger than the 3.0 enemies

I literally just saw so many videos about how Dori is also super underrated!!!

Honestly I hate what Nahida did to dendro, it's Xiangling problem all over again. I wish there was an alternative AoE off-field dendro applicator character (not circle impact), but the only one other than her is Baizhu, and he's single-target and doesn't do any damage (but he brings so much to the table it's understandable). It doesn't have to be as strong as her, I just want an alternative but it feels like there wouldn't be any and I hate it :/

I was satisfied for my most recent 50/50 losses to be to Tighnari and Dehya, completing my "standard" roster. As for constellations, though, I've yet to contemplate which losses I would appreciate, besides Diluc's, since I'm halfway there with him already. The Chronicled Wish allowing Tighnari and Dehya's signature weapons to rerun, and without the Weapon Banner pity thresholds, is a FOMO relief. And I've accrued C6 Dori (and what will be C12 Gorou, after the upcoming event) on these past banners, and I am curious to on-field her in that complete forme.

I’ve heard from somewhere, don’t remember where, that Kaveh works as a frontline unit for Nilou, because of his passive where he heals himself when he’s hit by bloom explosions. Don’t know if that’s true or not, since I can’t test Nilou and Kaveh, on account of having neither.

Layla definitely one of the better 4 stars, she doesn't need C6 only C1 and she's amazing. The only downside of her is no F2P 4 star HP sword yet. She works perfectly as intended, 2nd best shielder. I have c6 thoma and zhongli, most of the time i chose layla for consistency for first floor and zhongli for 2nd floor. Thoma are more of a offensive side shielder than her but his shield uptime not consistent even with 245%ER

When we do power scaling videos we need to add a category of “became better with furina comps” like dehya is actually solid with furina

I didn't pull for many version 3 character so this is an interesting retrospect for me

Even with the new meta and direction of fontaine w/ its characters, i still always see myself coming back to nilou bloom. I have a bias on her but she is extremely comfy for me esp w/ yao yao, kokomi, nahida. It doesnt require big brain rotations, and i just like how pretty she goes when everything around her blows up. It's the best team I've invested on (c2r1 Nilou, c2Nahida) next to my Neuv Furina team. And I've been using that team to clear abyss as always

Just reminding, both Tighnari and Dehya weapons can come back on the new banner (forgot the name, the one with Albedo/Klee/Eula) so they're not lost forever, just that they need longer time to come back compared to the others

on ST in like bosses or in abysses with just 2 or 3 enemies. his off field app is alright.

I don’t have c6 Dori but I’ve always found her useful with Tighnari and Miko especially. For me Dori always felt like the flip side of Kuki. Kuki is given high EM for hyperbloom but her healing suffers for it. I give Dori sac greatsword and Deepwood and suddenly I have 100% uptime battery that heals and shreds dendro res. I know she’s not Cyno’s first pick but she resolves his energy and hp flaw pretty well too.

layla is wanderers bis if you need a shield on him (+20%crit) also her shield is crazy strong

Tighnari's weapon was available in the recent Chronicled Wish banner . . .

I actually completely agree with this list for once. Usually I have one or two nitpicks, but no, I think this is 100% correct. My only "correction" would be Cyno is so much better now with Furina and Baizhu, but I don't believe in bumping characters up a tier because of specific supports (especially when those supports are limited 5 stars). So yeah, perfect list IMHO That said, for sickos like me who enjoy using low tier characters, allow me to tell you how to use each and every "Were Never Good" character in a way that's actually fun to play! Optimal? Probably not, but they can still be played! Candace can be played in a Xingqiu team letting either one of them be the main DPS/Driver (which ever you prefer to call it), if you really want that. I wanted to with Candace and I know people have wanted to main DPS Xingqiu, and this duo actually lets you do that! If you choose to put Candace as main DPS you will run into energy recharge problems, tho. The way I countered this was by putting her after Xingqiu. Xingqiu bursts, then E's then DODGES, then switch to Candace. That's the only way to guarantee Candace catches Xingqiu's particals because unfortunately Xingqiu is the game's only real hydro battery. If you have C6 Candace you can also use her in a Hu Tao team because C0 Yelan can't apply enough Hydro for her alone, but together the two can give Hu Tao all the hydro she needs along with extra HP from the Hydro Resonance Dori is very much usable but, unfortunately, her main use comes from C6 when she can be an effective driver. But DAMN is she an effective driver because she basically becomes the Noelle of HYPER BLOOM! Because of her c6 she can act as both driver for that team and the healer to keep Furina's buffs ongoing! It's one of those insane teams like Razor's Thundering Furry, but is still quite good. And again I want to stress these are not meta builds, these are "I want to play X character builds and not feel like I'm wasting my time." This may come as a shock to you, reader, but of all the characters here, I am most confident in Dehya. The reason being I use this team all the freaking time, because it's my favorite Neuvillette team. If you have Neuvillette at C0, then one of his best teams is Dehya, Nahida, and an Electro Support (I use Raiden because that makes this team non-burst reliant, but other characters like Fischl work, too.) The thing about this team is because Dehya applies so little pyro but Nahida applies so much dendro, they actually become a synergistic pair that allows for a burning reactions while *keeping* a dendro aura. Neuvillette can then use the burning aura to trigger vaporize, and you have 2/3 elemental reactions for Neuvillette's passive, the third of which is taken care of by the electro character. This along with the stagger resistance at the beginning of Dehya's E means this is a scuffed version of Neuvillette's C1. I mean it sincerely when I say of all the teams I think could actually be at least close to meta, this is the one. And the fact the Dehya is irreplaceable on it fills my heart with joy. Lastly there's Kaveh. Unfortunately I don't have a killer team set-up for him like I do with the others. His only real good team where he can shine is as the driver for Nilou teams since his kit basically is still a supportive one rather than a DPS one, but that means his job is basically to make backline characters stronger. You know, like Xingqiu and Fischl. Because *they* really needed the help! Either way, this is still a good team for him and if you love Kaveh, pick up a Nilou and don't let anyone talk you out of playing him!

IMO dendro traveller still holds up. Sure, there is no situation where I would use over Nahida. However, if you need a second dendro off field/buffer traveller is usually the best option. Whenever I run 2 dendro teams in abyss, I always end-up using the traveller.

Would recommend support mika for physical freminet, and the "dialogues of the desert sages" spear work great on him 👍 (not a must have but fun to play)

Dori is definitely a unit built with coop in mind. Her burst will connect all 4 characters, if her cons are unlock, has a very high electro application and gives energy. That's why she's my go to everytime I do coop.

wtf i did not know that . time to put my lvl90 c6 dori to good use!

I feel like Candace would've been really cool if her shield was special in some way that actually could be used to help other party members instead of just like... parry in a way. like maybe if you held the shield it would get put down or turn into something like Zhongli's shield for the party and when onfield she would take more damage and does more damage with the shield up, but if she's off field she gives damage reduction or maybe if the character hits 1 HP she forces a switch and does either a mini burst of damage that staggers enemies or grants a small heal. just something to keep them alive instead of just being a on field shielder for ONLY HERSELF. or instead of that maybe she could give a unique shield that could react to other elements in special ways? like if dendro hits it she would create either a unique dendro core that cannot hurt her or her team, but does a little less damage or if electro hits her it either imbues the next normal attack with electro or gives the electro charged reaction to the enemy! geo would just make it stronger and Hydro would either replenish the shield a little or cause her to give a small heal to herself or the party. maybe anemo would cause a small knockback to occur that staggers small enemies and just moves bigger ones a very tiny bit back? Cryo could freeze the shield making it fragile and when enemies hit it maybe it would deal shatter damage to the on field character and the enemy? or maybe the cryo would solidify it and make the shield a lot stronger but lower movement speed a little? I'm stuck on Pyro though and am having difficulty coming with something for that one. maybe vaporize would somehow grant the player movement speed at the cost of the shield breaking easier against pyro hits? even though it's almost absolutely certain her kit will never change I hope they change future stuff up and make unique characters when they give them such a sick backstory like hers. leave the shitty kits for characters like Dori who people already dislike for being greedy and annoying to them (even if i personally like her and find her greed slightly charming I won't ever use her because of the bad kit and I'm good with that). so hoyo please, let the cool characters have fun kits, and leave the ones that people barely like with the bad kits. I like almost all characters but don't mind some of the ones I like being shit. just don't do it to the ones like Candance ever again Hoyo PLEASE.

I found 1 very specific use for Mika where he's best in slot. Wanderer freeze team: Wanderer, Furina, Mika, Layla (or flex). Mika is very good here since his healing output is needed for Furina burst boost and his skill fastens Wanderers NAs. Layla as shielder preferably since Wanderer likes stagger resistance and she gives a small NA damage boost with her C4 and she also is the needed Cryo application to enable freeze.

So I wasn’t gonna mention it but I think it is important to point out with tighnari and Deyha they have a chance to come back with their weapons in the future. Thanks to that new banner they introduced. Granted I don’t think the banners are worth it outside of pulling for the weapons but i figured I should at least point that out.
