    5* Standard what to get TLDR
    Static Mist - Mortefi for Jiyan Team, Carlotta if no Sig, Chixia if you like her.
    Emerald of Genesis - Best Value as its usable on any sword user and there are a lot.
    Lustrous Razor - Generically the worst value as the signature Broablades are better by a lot (Except for Calcharo).
    Abyss Surges - One of the worst (no crit value), only usable meta-wise for Xiangli Yao but needs high investment on crit. Can be usable on Roccia.
    Cosmic Ripples - Same with the Gauntlet (no crit value), more flexible as its usable on Rectifier DPS/Sub-dps, Encore > Zhezhi > Yinlin.

    There are so many META guides out there... most are on point but they don't give the practical advice you do. I'm a UL 80 player and I still get value out of your videos. WuWa's a great game to get into and french_tutor makes it easy. :)

    is almost impossible to go wrong with standard weapons in WuWa. They all perform on par with signature weapons with almost no output loss, ofc they're more "generalist" weapons, but still. Considering that they can be obtained practically for free and work very well on support units, is an insane value. make sure to pick clean Rinascita chain quests...some of them end up with a special chest containing 1 standard wish.

  • @John_II
    @John_II 3 години тому +1

    Great video! I agree, the "best" is subjective. IMHO all the 5* standard weapons are basically all good. For me, it comes down to who you're maining/playing. IMO you can also spend astrite on the standard weapon banner and it's not a waste. While limited 5* weapons are almost always BIS for their designated limited 5* character, the standard 5* weapons should be considered the base line damage/stats and they're great. You can AND SHOULD target farm the standard 5* weapon for you main characters if you don't have their signatures.
    Lustrous Razor (broad sword) - If you main, e.g. Calcharo, then it's Lustrous Razor (which is also the second BIS for Jiyan and Jinhsi), so it's great for your account because even if you get Jiyan or Jinhsi later, then you already have a great weapon for them.
    Static Myst (pistol) - I use it for Mortefi (my favorite sub-DPS), but it's great for Carlotta and Chixia too.
    Emerald of Genesis (sword) - I have it on Rover, Danjin, Sanhua, and soon Yang Yang. (Yup, I have 3 on my account because it's so solid). It's great on all of them, and Changli (but I'm waiting for Changli's signature to rerun... please rerun in 2.1, Fire Lady :))
    Abyss Surges (gauntlet) - Great for Jianxin and Lingyang, and second BIS for Xiangli Yao. You can't go wrong with these gauntlets.
    Cosmic Ripples (rectifier) - great for Encore and Yinlin, and a fine stat stick for Baizhi, Verina and Shorekeeper (not BIS, you want the 4* rectifier called Variation for each of them as their second BIS, and BIS for Shore Keeper and Biazhi is obviously Shore Keeper's signature weapon).
    Happy pulls everyone. Remember: WuWa is not actually that predatory when it comes to weapons: 80 pulls = guaranteed. There is no 50/50 and the standard weapons are all great. Your account should basically never suffer for weapons. :)

    Bro, at 9:46 I'm glad I watched that segment, because last night I was hallf asleep reading the Jianxin guide on prydwen and I don't have any decent gauntlets to prepare her for (I'm new since 2.0 so I'm still focussed on finising my first team before Jianxin). I'll probably pick the sword and use it on Havoc Rover for the time being.

    great content but i dont agree about the guantlets, been using it with xiangli yao and he constantly dish out 300k damage when crit, the only downside is the ATK% stat, but it can be solved by having crit values in your echo substats, of course his sig is better but this is definitely his second best option, it also works amazingly with Roccia, and at some point in the game, we will see a guantlet user that scaless off basic atk or skill.

    I’m struggling to choose…I’ve only been using Carlotta,Zhezhi, and Verina. Got both their signature weapons too. I’m tempted to get the energy gun one for verina. I have all characters already except the electric girl. This banner earned me a S6 of all the 4 stars on it. Sanhua, Mortefi and Chixia all S6. So then that’s an argument for the gun, broadsword and sword. Wondering if I get calcharo his weapon, rover/Sanhua theirs or just get Verina the best since it’s the team I use most.

    Why? Because who tf cares about using Emerald of Genesis on each and every Sword Unit when you can just get Static Mist and increase your Mortefi's S6 to have insane buffing potential for Jiyan. MORE POWER TO JIYAN!!! Case Closed!

  • @brandonreamer
    @brandonreamer 14 годин тому +1

    OMG, no no no, bad advice! The Static Mist is NOT good on Chxia or Carlota. Its passive is specifically designed for direct supports: 'When Outro Skill is released, it increases the switched-in Resonator's ATK by 10-20%, stacking up to 1 time(s). This effect lasts for 14s.'
    This makes it way better for characters like Motrfie and Alto, who can fully utilize its support potential. In fact, this is what makes Static Mist the standout choice on the standard banner-it’s much harder to replace compared to the other standard weapons, which all have better alternatives in slot.
    That being said, I completely agree that getting a 5-star weapon for your main DPS should come first. After that, save your resources to pull on the limited banner! It’s definitely worth pairing your main DPS with a strong limited weapon for maximum impact. 👍

    • @frenchtutor_
      @frenchtutor_  14 годин тому +3

      Yes I know Static Mist is designed to be more support but with it's high base attack and crit rate, it becomes chixia's and carlotta's 2nd best weapons only because 5 star weapons are limited as of now
      Hopefully we get more 5 star weapons that would suit DPS pistol users more. Otherwise, static mist is just a pure stat stick weapon

    • @brandonreamer

      While I absolutely agree that you need at least one 5-star weapon for your DPS pick ASAP, the key thing to consider is longevity. The Static Mist is the only weapon on the standard banner that is still best-in-slot for its role, and that’s because it’s a support weapon. Its versatility and staying power as a support tool make it invaluable long-term, whereas DPS weapons tend to get replaced as the roster expands. Just something to think about!

      It's a perfectly fine weapon for her as it serves as a stat stick, its not a bait or trap at all. Crit rate with high atk and the passive can probably be nice for quickswap comps as well.
