Mona is a DPS though. She was originally conceived as one, that's why she has constellations that increase the damage of her attacks and her reactions. It's just that she's not that good of a DPS without cons, so people only ever use her as support in freeze teams.
1:40 correction! Bennett isn’t using the harbinger of dawn there because its colour is all throughout the same. He is using the fillet blade (atk% substat) a 3 star weapon obtainable from mondstadt / liyue luxurious chests. I can tell because the lower part of it is a dark yellow and grey up.
4:01 It is ideal. Waterborne Destiny (4th Ascension Passive) Increases Mona's Hydro DMG Bonus by a degree equivalent to 20% of her Energy Recharge rate. You should try Mona + fav codex + emblem.
“Playing Genshin the way Hoyo intended” 5 seconds later: ‘well the quest objective didn’t saaaay to kill the hilichurls that spawned in specifically for the quest 😋’ 2:58, 8:19 So a Genshin let’s play with extra steps
Ive been waiting for a video like this, just wish it was longer. Now id like to see 'Beating Mondstadt the way MiHoYo Intended' As well as the other regions. I think that would be fun.
What genshin REALLY wants you to do - play genshin for 24hrs Spend money and offically become a whale Complement their game & suffer while doing quests
I was thinking about playing the story line but only with the characters that are supposed to be there. That means always with the Traveler on the elemental type of the region and the characters that are in that part of the story. And to make it more difficult, only if they are supossed to be traveling with you at that moment, so if your character is said to be going somewhere on his own you can only use him.
My main DPS is Heizou... Built to the 9s... for Scaramouche. Not that I am holding them for Scara, I don't really care for Wanderer, but I LOVE how Attack Speed Heizou plays! Y'know, Java, I think your videos singlehandedly help me to tolerate this game, I would've SO given up by now, if it weren't for being inspired now and again to do some goofy build thanks to you. So thank you Java.
I would like to see this game played in Chronological order with only F2P characters...You can only explore where the game leads you through missions, and stay on path, no teleporting...lol
No, I'm pretty sure Hoyoverse intended for you to pull for your favorite, lose 50/50, and then spend a lot of money to get them. This is their ideal playstyle. Hope this helps!
5:18 yeah it’s a real shame that you don’t have an electro character not like there’s an electro region for the traveler to gain it’s powers or anything *(sarcasm intensifies)*
I’ve been watching Java since he started his “ swords only” series and I can say that there hasn’t been a video that has disappointed me in any way :D love ya
I once built Bennett as a DPS. Boy did my friends yell at me for building him with 4 piece crimson lmao Anyway now I have Kazoo so he went to the DPS position and Benny's back to support, but he may come back one day...
@@Harudodo he does! although I am f2p so my build is probably not that impressive I have been refining it for almost two years now he usually does 27k + 21k on a crit with his E without any buffs
3:58 I’m AR 50 and I’ve just found out that pyro damages the pyro regisvine… Bennett was just on the side watching my other characters fight this thing over and over again to level him up… *sad*
Pyro Regisvine resists Pyro though so Bennett wouldn't be doing as much damage (to be fair, he's not there for his personal damage anyway most of the time).
@@rl6321 it doesn’t damage the corrola but it damages the flower. I normally put bennetts burst down and have xiao stay inside of it to us his burst and I figured it was worth a try and it did damage when Bennett burst hit it.
I wish the game was clearer about how much artifacts are needed for characters to work properly. Mid-game was such a slog for me since I still had adventurer's set on most of my characters and I thought artifacts were just a dps boost. It wasn't until I actively looked at build guides/videos that I realized that characters are useless without them.
Is someone going to tell him that the white tassel is one of the good 3 star weapons? Assuming it's equipped on a character that spams normal attacks most of the time, and not as a 1 second swap in and out...
Lore accurate: Dull blade = 1,000,000 dmg
As a Lumine main I maxed out a Dull Bladr
@@lucituci97 Lumine Lore Main
@@lucituci97 same here
I had the stupid idea to max out the dull blade and put ir on traveler
@@lucituci97 SAME!!! I’m trying to do the others also
What's funny is that hoyoverse has already released an official guide for genshin. It is a physical book though you'd have to buy.
Psssh who needs guide when you can just throw in whatever like youre 5 making "potion" on the bathroom
OH???!! 😮
Quick Google search and already got a free PDF
Wtf… ?
But the game is constantly changing the meta so it's gonna be outdated fast 😅
Except for the quest guides ofc
Yesterday I accidentally turned Mona into a DPS and Hu Tao into a support.. nah I’m doing great 😃
@bread they probably just used the flower she produced after charged attacking
Mona is a DPS though. She was originally conceived as one, that's why she has constellations that increase the damage of her attacks and her reactions. It's just that she's not that good of a DPS without cons, so people only ever use her as support in freeze teams.
That’s actually great if you like Mona
Hu tao give 12 crit rate after use her E and switch character
as a mona main, i am extremly happy. We all should praise Mona >:)
Actually Bennett isn't holding 'Harbinger of Dawn' in his splash art, he's holding a weapon called 'Fillet Blade'
Ummm actually 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
@@eeeEEEeeeEEEEEE-eeeeeee damn okay man?
Me when I spread misinformation on the internet.
@@7-aennil-7its not misinformation tho? Compare the fillet blade to the weapon in bennett’s splash art it’s identitcal
@@eeeEEEeeeEEEEEE-eeeeeee real
Eula - main dps
Kaeya - cryo support/battery
Lisa - superconduct/40% def shred (burst)
Mona - dmg amplifier
15% def shred*
I m not sure but i think her c2 also shreds def
@@galxaygamer8326 thought it was wrong..., thanks!
@@freakinstudent3430 constelations is like the only thing I'm not that good at, so I'l have to look into it 😅
I don't think Java has the def shred because she was lvl 60/60
you could have used candace with staff of scarlet sands, since thats the only weapon she's been seen using
"We can definitely proc Superconduct with the... Electro characters we have."
EMC: "Am I a joke to you?"
5:30 Traveler should be any element but Dendro at the time of the event though
1:40 correction! Bennett isn’t using the harbinger of dawn there because its colour is all throughout the same. He is using the fillet blade (atk% substat) a 3 star weapon obtainable from mondstadt / liyue luxurious chests. I can tell because the lower part of it is a dark yellow and grey up.
Btw there is an "elemental" reaction called Shattered - freeze and then hit with a claymore or Geo. Thats why Eula always breaks the freeze.
Fun fact Mona gains Hydro Damage based on her ER so the Fav Codex wasn’t the wooooorst thing 😂
But Bennett doesn’t have an adventure team so you can’t use him
I recently tried turning my Ganyu into a cryo support, exactly how HoYoverse intended. 😌
Actually 🤓I've seen some CN whales use Ganyu as a support for Ayaka. Surprisingly, it's not bad lol
Ganyu was originally advertised as a support, then people found out her CA actually does heaps of dmg
Yes I use Ganyu as a support for my dehya
Haha I was still new to the game when I got Ganyu and she legitimately became a support for a longggg time before I realised her true potential 🤡🤡🙈
I use Ganyu as a support for my keqing.... 😶😶
5:25 if u used anemo traveler here, it'd be more accurate and helpful to the team comp.
I have never before seen a video that made me wanna re-install genshin this much
dont fall for the devils trap
Install it, theres so many new updates
Honestly, just try and if u don’t like it, uninstall it again. Either way, you can see how much has changed

Remember, if the traveller is in the cutscene then you know they screw something up.
4:01 It is ideal.

This is exactly how I built my Mona 😊
0:23 “erm actually there’s a PS5 exclusive sword that explicitly states that it is more or less meant for the traveller to use” 🤓👆
“Playing Genshin the way Hoyo intended”
5 seconds later: ‘well the quest objective didn’t saaaay to kill the hilichurls that spawned in specifically for the quest 😋’
2:58, 8:19
So a Genshin let’s play with extra steps
Ive been waiting for a video like this, just wish it was longer.
Now id like to see 'Beating Mondstadt the way MiHoYo Intended'
As well as the other regions. I think that would be fun.
That albedo-dragonspine event was probably my favourite event miss that sm
I've was here when #2 of SwordsOnly was out and have loved all your videos ever since! It's been such a long journey but worth it. Keep it up, Java! ♡
I play genshin on crack, I get every waypoint, trigger cutscenes I'm not supposed to do yet with people I haven't met yet before AR25 and I love it
for eula go for 2 bloodstain,2 paleflame,1 pysical dmg goblet,and ensure u are having *good substats*
Finally another java video, i have literally watched every single video you have posted, your videos always make my day
What genshin REALLY wants you to do - play genshin for 24hrs
Spend money and offically become a whale
Complement their game
& suffer while doing quests
5:47 You obviously had to bring Barbara, Kaeya, Lisa, and noone else
I was thinking about playing the story line but only with the characters that are supposed to be there. That means always with the Traveler on the elemental type of the region and the characters that are in that part of the story. And to make it more difficult, only if they are supossed to be traveling with you at that moment, so if your character is said to be going somewhere on his own you can only use him.
yeah when im doing the story quests i always have the traveler in the party but ive never gone that far lol
My main DPS is Heizou...
Built to the 9s... for Scaramouche.
Not that I am holding them for Scara, I don't really care for Wanderer, but I LOVE how Attack Speed Heizou plays!

You must be fun
Yeah I agree
Yea
My favorite character is a standard banner character 🥲
(Edit after 5.0) My favorite character is standard 😸😸😸😸😸😸
I'm a proud Tighnari main!!!
Hearing "Also shoutout to" made me think there will be an ad lol. Ad of non-critting Raiden
I was typing something random and this was the only thing that matched what I typed.
YES, JAVA POSTED
me watching this after I built up a dps barbara: 😃👍
Oh . . . I always thought Bennett used the Filet Blade in his character art-
bennett is actually using the fillet blade or lions roar is his art
The title kinda reminds me of the Psychical Kazuha video, tbh
0:09 my physical Kazuha is sweating a bit
5:21 electro traveler.....
You: equips the best sword in the game
Cutscenes: DULL BLADE
5:18 yeah it’s a real shame that you don’t have an electro character not like there’s an electro region for the traveler to gain it’s powers or anything *(sarcasm intensifies)*
If you rush ahead of the escort balloon, break all the barriers and wait at the end, mobs dont even spawn half the time.
Who's gonna tell him the ingame guide is out?
8:28 forgotten banner 😔
Its all in ur mind, playable shenhe never existed
I’ve been watching Java since he started his “ swords only” series and I can say that there hasn’t been a video that has disappointed me in any way :D love ya
me too!! he was at like 30-ish k subscribers lmao
NOT ME GETTING A GENSHIN AD- also good vid
9:42
*current update*
THEY ADDED IT😭😭😭
Lumine more recently, wields a Silver Sword now. The lore has truly ascended 😂
This does make me feel confident a lil in my quest of:
Reject tradition, embrace DPS Shenhe.
Omg yes you posted I love your videos
Lol
Hoyo is high oh something-
high on believing
bro said fillet blade was harbenger of dawn😂
Thank you for uploading :) missed your vids, theyre great
Try using your Nilou with Kazuha, Dehya, and Shinobu, I actually really enjoy this team
YES! I was having a horrible day, this is the best notification I could have gotten
4:23 woah who's eula is that a new fountain character you just leaked
She’s from monstat
In Bennett's splash he is holding the fillet blade
i tought they want u to just play with travaler and change the element used whenever u visit another region :0
Loving your videos Java! Keep it up
"I'm obsessed with Mint" - Will
Now do toy feel happy about this
Play the right way in genshin
Omg after sumeru, i miss having to accompany the transport balloon as a daily commission
I once built Bennett as a DPS. Boy did my friends yell at me for building him with 4 piece crimson lmao
Anyway now I have Kazoo so he went to the DPS position and Benny's back to support, but he may come back one day...
dps kazoo = best kazoo build :]
@@silentraven-studios frrrr he does so much damage !
@@Harudodo he does!
although I am f2p so my build is probably not that impressive I have been refining it for almost two years now
he usually does 27k + 21k on a crit with his E without any buffs
great job java ! ive been watching ya for a while now, and you're a huge inspiration !!! ty
Mistahfeet's only dull blade lvl 20 Traveler walkthough was more realistic
fun fact hoyoverse had 30min or so ads on mobile for their character that actually had team comps
See this isn’t 100% lore accurate tho bc it was anemo traveller that fought the albedo whooperflower, not dendro
True, I was about to comment it
When we test characters they're always level 80, talents all 8 and weapon level 80
i love watching ur content while fasting
Once I put my Bennett on a dull blade on accident and he did more DMG than I've ever seen
the reason you dont have travelers handy sword is because u might have burned the thing
sip sipping on orphan tears sip sippin on orphan tears
I will watch your journey
2:21 I thought it said yanfei so I was like hold up- why she got hydro
I’m pretty sure one of the craziest things I’ve seen is a healer Lisa
Java I love ur videos so much keep up the amazing work ☕
sir, that is not the harbinger of dawn.
Your videos are so good!❤
how hoyoverse expects you to play the game: 💳💵💸🏦

Watch them give the Dull Blade a buff that's beyond broken by the time Khaenri'ah / Celestia drops
Java wake up THEY RELEASED A TRAINING GUIDE
wait i thought bennett uses the fillet blade in his splash
In Benny's characters art he was using lions roar but it was still a treat to watch this
I thought it was the fillet blade

I use my traveler with Dull Blade lol
I don't know if you know, but there's a Chinese commercial for genshin where one of the players told his friends that he plays rational
Shatter Yun Jin can use Dragon’s Bane’s elemental mastery lmao
Bro is trying to suffer at this point
Wasn't Bennett using fillet blade
This was fun 😂... Please do abyss in spells only the last video with abyss was around 4 months ago
6:22 eula says the nword
Wouldn't it be the anemo traveler for the fake Albedo run and not the Dendro Traveler?
Well with all the new in game guides it would be interesting to see a comparison.
