Well edited, well scripted, well explained, this is gold standard educational content. Most youtubers (genshin and otherwise) just do a low effort slap of some barely relevant footage over a rambling script, but you made every single thing that went onscreen actually useful and timely in illustrating the concept at hand. If only every class I'd taken had this kind of clarity. o7 this is amazing.

@@Scythra Yup, exactly. Before EGT was more formally defined, the different types of gauges were simply referred to as "Strong" or "Weak" versions of that Element. Now, we know them as 2U and 1U gauges, respectively, and also discovered that there are other gauge values, such as 1.5U and 4U.

Loved this video a lot, but as someone who mains Childe since day 1 when I was damn surprised he didn't get mentioned during the No ICD part. Genshin's in their 3rd year and he's still the quickest hydro applier and the reason combining him with Xiangling who has no ICD on her burst makes his dmg so sick T T

Absolutely agree. Only reason I didn't include Childe is because I don't have a copy of him, so I couldn't get any footage of him lol.

I mean Childe has an ICD. It's just that, his ICD for NA, CA, and Riptide are all separate, making him have 3 sources of hydro application which is why his hydro application is so quick.

Bow charged attacks some times do have icd. You can confirm this yourself by using diona’s constellation 4 effect, when you stand in your burst and charge attack you can see that she does not in fact apply cryo with every charged attack, but instead uses the 2.5s rule. Tho that might just be a diona problem :D

Great catch. I definitely should’ve said “most” bow/catalyst charged attacks there.

Character like Yoimiya is based around the 3-hit rule, if you pay attention to her normal attack string. This allows her to hit Vaporize on her 3rd and 5th attack string, which has the highest multiplier on her normal attack. But this is TOO RIGID, that if you missed a single shot, you’ll miss your big vaporize shot.

yoimiya's atk pattern is like 1st x 2, 2nd x 1, 3rd x1, 4th x2, 5th x 1, the first hit is divded into 2 part so the first part of the first hit will react as well, but of course the big hits are 3rd and 5th, that's why you don't want to dodge or get interupted mid atk string because you'll loose the big vape hits. Also if she gets too much atk speed to a certain point the vape order will change, this is apparent when she gets to c6.

@theianeia

Жыл бұрын

Thing is, most Genshin theorycrafter youtubers have explained this mechanic in depth a while ago along with the elemental gauge theory. Not sure which one you watched, but a lot of them do explain how teamcomps works. Although one thing that makes this video so good is the amount of effort put into the visuals that helps with his explanation.

I liked that for examples such as Xiangling’s burst you even thought about making sure she had 0/100 percent crit rate so damage was consistent for teaching purposes. Put a lot of thought into things, great video!

I already knew all of this, but this is a great video I'd only add that ICD is tracked per skill per target, so exploding dendro cores isn't bound to ICD, since any pyro/electro elemental damage it takes will definitely trigger it Also, some gauges in the game don't have an ICD either, the wolf lord shield heads for example, they take damage from all ticks of Nilou's elemental skill "serenity aura or something" which has normal ICD

This is by far the best ICD explanation video on KZread. You gave constant examples and slowed it down for us to see properly what was going on. I finally understand ICD properly. Thank you so much!

God I wish this video existed two years ago. I generally understand ICDs nowadays, but I spent a lot of time feeling very confused and no explanations were good enough to paint the whole picture. There are some things in this video that I still had no idea about and no one had ever mentioned, like the 3-hit rule. Awesome job, I wish all Genshin content was like this. Edit: The madlad even included the builds of every character he used in the video at the end because he knew people would ask. A lot of character/team showcases don't even do this for some reason. I like this guy.

I guess that most casual youtubers don't even know a thing about this, whereas the the more Theory Crafting centered channels already covered this mechanic long ago and their viewers knows so there's no need to talk about it, you gotta search specifically for how icd works to get videos talking in depth about it

The only ICD video I've seen that explains thoroughly without bloating the video. New sub here.

Would love to see more guide videos about obscure mechanics, such as elemental gauge and snapshotting. You explained this in such a thorough yet efficient manner.

Excellent video! You made this complicated mechanic pretty easy to understand and went so in depth that, even though I knew most of the ICD mechanics, still taught me something new (I didn't know about the 3 hit rule). Keep up the good work!

Deep understanding of the game’s mechanics and clean editing. What an underrated channel! Subbed.

So much quality goes into this. I thought i already knew pretty much about everything regarding ICD, but turns out i still miss something important. Cant wait for your guide on elemental gauge!

Wow! Although I knew about this mechanic already, this was the best and the most understandable guide I've seen so far. All these examples were just great and list of characters with shorter or no ICD was really helpful. I've been wondering why Diluc works better with Xingqiu than Chonguun, for some reason I didn't realise it's because of ICD, thank you for pointing at that! Special thanks for clear pronunciation and subtitles, English is not my native language and autosubs don't work well with game slang and names, so really appreciate it! I've been watching your guides for quite a long time and the quality only gets better. Showing builds in the end of the video is also an amazing update. Happy to see you're getting more and more attention, you deserve it!

I've been looking for a video on Genshin's hidden mechanics for a long time now, and this is the first one I've found, and I'm glad I did!!! Would love to see more of these videos. Keep up the good work!!

Wow this is a very complicated and well thought system. I'm amazed by Hoyo because they came up with these out of nowhere and managed to get all characters to be in a balance somehow while still making them unique.

I think vaporize melt and overload kind of reactions in genshin are easy to come up with just by imagination but implementing these reactions in a game and setting the amplifying rates are very cleverly done. Also I don't think the ICD idea was taken from anywhere, I mean different kinds of videogames might have had it but Genshin didn't come this far by just taking inspiration from things that already exist.

Great guide for new Genshin players! Keep it up, buddy!

I've had a hundred people or so explain ICD to me including my whale brother, and as much as I understood its presence and who was strong around it, I never understood why. This video easily paints the clearest picture I've seen. Well put together thank you.

What a great watch... I think you have one of the most clear and well illustrated explanations about ICD out there ! Elemental reactions are very basic and simple at the surface but the hidden layer of "complexity" behind elemental combos is what I love the most in genshin, little things like e.g how electro-charge allows you to have 2 auras to coexist and proc vaporise and overloaded at the same time when pyro is applied etc...

There are so many contents in KZread, but by far your explanation is always the best. I really hope your channel gets more attention than it deserves.

This is probably the most informative video of Genshin I've seen which was also very easy to understand even as an AR 58 player. Usually easy to understand vids aren't very informative or informative videos are presented in a way only the creator understands. Kudos to you!

Appreciate the video! The demonstrations and editing to emphasize certain concepts were great, and the pacing felt just right. It also didn't feel like 10 minutes had just passed. While I did know that an ICD exists, I never truly understood what that meant (that being said, I haven't researched it before, but seeing formulas or walls of text are kinda intimidating in a sense). Now I know that there's more to it than just "you wait before an element is applied again" and why certain characters are "broken" :^p
