Fun fact: Calcharo’s JP voice is actor is the VA for Sephiroth
@@paulboh1417 and while being isekaied, he met with Vergil and borrowed his clone technique 🤣🤣
Swap cancel interaction with buffs was changed from last CBT. Previously, if you swap canceled during DM and swapped back to Calcharo before he left the field, he would retain all buffs. That is no longer the case. In current version, the moment you swap to another character, Calcharo loses all single-target buffs from his subdps even if you swap back in time to prevent him leaving the field. So swap canceling during DM during his ult phase will lower your dps unless you entered early without subdps buff.
That is wrong. You retain the buff as long as the character is still on the field. If you let them finish their move and they disappear tho, yes they will lose their buffs.
@@iamrivenous That is how it used to work, but not anymore. If you don't believe me, you can test it very easily for yourself ingame using Sanhua's outro buff and comparing Hound's Messenger 1 damage pre- and post-swap cancel
That's what I'm wondering as well, I can't test it yet as I haven't had the chance to build Sanhua but if it is true that swapping out even while the animation is still going if it'll retain it or lose it. And if it's the latter would it not be more beneficial to spend the 14 sec buff just staying on field and mixing in either 3 skills and a heavy or something like thundering Memphis to fill in those 4 extra seconds as his ult only lasts 10.
@iamrivenous the new description for outro skills with that type of buffs has been changed, it’s now added “or character exits” on losing the buffs
Here before the infuriating "Fell off" joke
He's getting nerfed before Yinlin is released because that duo is way too broken.. but Yinlin Will be buffed. Supposedly this will push him into sub DPS roll when he is paired with her she will become primary DPS but he will still be a main DPS in other teams that exclude Yinlin... this is all the speculation though have to wait until she is released
It was funny when I first seen it but it’s under every damn comment section like ok bruh yall annoying now
The guide I was waiting for! Thank you!
Your videos are the best! Love the rotation breakdowns and visuals especially ive been struggling to execute them
Really appreciating these guides Rivenous; great concise content with useful calculations that involves more than just "this is the teoretical best, go".
i've been waiting for this! awesome video!
MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED! Thank you for the video!
Appreciating for your hard work as always
Yeeeeasssssss!!! Been looking forward to this vid
Whenever I try to write his name my phone’s autocorrect kicks in and turns it into Calculus or Calculator 😂
Yeees! Ive been waiting for this
i was waiting this man
literally the best Wuwa content creator right now. Please do keep up the work I appreciate it. If it’s not too bold to ask could you do a verina guide?
I was watching another video from someone who gave them a shout-out and it showcased one and I was so sad to not see it here :(
A very complete guide. Beautiful
The funniest part about him is that despite his name being pronounced “Kal-kah-row” in game, 99% of content creators still mispronounce it as “Kal-cha-row.” It’s also funny how he has zero presence in the story so far despite every other 4-5 star being present.
@@Mad258852If "Tits" was a name, it would sound cool too, doesn't mean it can be used. (I'm joking)
riv pumpin content out lezgoww
this what i was searching for THANK YOU BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you, i've beeng having a hard time placing him on the team because of the rotation. also i cant stop thinking that his name is "Charcoal"
Waiting for your Lingyang guide ❤ amazing content btw!
i really enjoy swap cancelling every one of his downward heavy attacks, it might be terrible compared to the optimal dps rotations but with all the outro and echo skills you get to cast its just really fun to play him that way haha
The outro turtle is goated.
FINALLY!
fire guide
For those who wants to swap cancel with the flautist on mobile, you have to hold down the echo button then switch out while still holding the skill button
I had already teamed Calcharo up with Jianxin and Mortefi since there is no Yinlin and I don't have Verina! So I wasn't far off from this!!! 🤩
Chose him in the selection banner, got him yesterday in 50 pulls. Just waiting for iamrivenous guide to use him 😊
Calcharo,Sephiroth,Kakarot,Gerald my boy has many names but I call him Kenjaku 🗿who has a built in electro Mahoraga.
I'm surprised you didn't cover it yet, but Chinese tier lists are actually recommending Jianxin as one of the top priorities.
Also, Calcharo after 1.0 nerfs is not anymore as good as before as a team mate for Yinlin, since now Yinlin does more damage than him as a main DPS, so Yinlin teams are going to be Yinlin + Yinlin sub dps + support/healer.
This is the 5 stars priority order right now in China:
1. Verina
2. Encore/Jiyan (whichever you like more, their damage is almost double as Calcharo played at the same skill level, since Calcharo requires a very high skill play mastering).
3. Jianxin (polyvalent support for current/future teams).
Hope it's helpful!
@@PrincePryce Of course you don't have to, but since this is a channel mainly about theorycrafting, I thought sharing it would help someone.
@@silverfox3291 why would he cover a tierlist, when this is a video guide for calcharo. this is some major dentage
In the Jianxin team would you be playing her on the healing set for the buffs or just her regular aereo set? Also what would the rotation be?
I have Jiyans weapon on him and i have nearly 40-230 cr/cd but i have my echoes in 4 3 3 1 1, should i change it to have two 4 cost echoes to have more cr? its being hard to have any cr substat in the 1 cost echoes and i would love to have more cr even at expense of some of my cd, thats the only issue i have with him
Anyone know if getting 3x Death Messengers in liberation mode is ping dependent? I'm literally spamming left click uninterrupted and I can only seem to stack up the forte gauge up to 4 stacks before I get kicked out of my liberation mode. No swap cancels, no dodging. 240ms ping (for some reason)
How does using the skill to cancel BA5 in liberation mode compete to dash canceling 5x for 3rd death messenger?
I’m wondering, is there a tutorial for the dash cancel of Calcharo’s death messenger attacks? I really want to learn how that works :D
^^ I can’t access the bilibili video because it is not available in my region sadly T__T
Its mostly 2 basic -> tap dash (make him back dash) -> 2 basic -> tap dash -> DM
Its not that hard but this assume you are not gonna dodge 😂
would yinlin and jianxin be good teammates for him in a single team? kinda dont wanna take verina away from jiyan and still have a use for jianxin
Can someone please tell me how to do that 2:24 animation on Calcharo, I´m so confused cause I manage to do it sometimes with his intro but it doesn´t happen consistently.
Does anyone know if the stat bonus node on him is worth it in the early game. Adding 1.8% attack just doesn’t seem like much relative to its cost to upgrade
What are the reference numbers that I should go to in the build? for example, if I use a weapon that has ATK%, I must have at least 70% critical rate with 200% critical damage and 1500 attack
I don't think he will outdps this much Jiyan since it's all "theorycraft". But I hope the electro team will be hype since I'll try to get some pulls in for Yinlin.
Whenever u do jianxin video can you please talk about HOW a dmg rotation with calcharo and (insert third teammate here) would look like ? I am very interested in how to optimize that team since I have her
Tysm
Does anyone have any advice for me. In wuthering waves if i am in any domain, event (battle event) and tower ( end game) basically not in open world then even at the highest setting my game does not lag even a bit ( constantly 58-60 fps) .
But when i am in the open world, no matter i am at which setting( highest/ lowest) my game lag soo much. Too much fps drop. (30-45 fps even while standing and picking any material)
How'd I get hear searching for Boothill
Bro can you make a short video on how to play the calcharo Yinlin team plsssss. I mean the rotations and all
I got Mortefi and Chixia C6 looking that both boost dmg in their c6 it would be good for calcharo team-up?
Interesting that Tempest Memphis wasn't included as the main echo. I don't know the damage calcs, but it seems like CN and a lot of CCs prefer tempest/thundering. Also, in regards to animation cancelling, was it calculated that 3 death messangers with animation cancelling does less damage than only 2 but spamming auto attacks?
Yea I should have at least mentioned mephis. Kinda slipped through, I apologize for that! At least before the vid got into production flautist was still considered better at least by some reputable sites like prydwen lol. 3 Death Messengers should always do more damage, but it is harder to play.
What do you mean by 2 but spamming auto attacks? Isn't spamming autos how you get 3 death messengers?
@@DoggyP00Spamming autos is how you get 2, technically you can get 3 but the timing is very tight. Animation cancelling with his skill or dash after the third "killing intent" has been filled on the other hand will shorten the duration of your combos therefore allowing you to get 3 death messenger in,
I follow this CC (though this vid is not from his channel, it's from a clips channel)
ua-cam.com/video/uDXpSm1Qxlo/v-deo.htmlsi=GPEIxm8Nu03THhhu
In around min 11 more or less, he explains some combos, following him is that I learned to get 3 death messengers @@DoggyP00
Can you get into a mathematical explanation for how flat attack substats are stronger than resonance liberation and basic attack dmg%?
Brain fried. Will just chill for now and re watch this guide once I start hitting lvl 60 on my chars. Gonna just go unga bunga for now. 😂
Sorry but Flautist doesn't regenerate concerto energy on hit when i use it. What am i doing wrong? 😭
When you show the CD stats i recommend including the base 150 so it reads better
Yea I have had that feedback quite a bit by now, but these vids have all been in production for like a few days. I agree tho and will do that going forwards
@@iamrivenous i agree with them. Or you could just clarify what stats are currently showing. There's so much space in the screen when it's shown anyway
So if I got calcharo for the sole reason of being a yinlin dps this build allows me to field my yinlin more often as supposed to the current builds and rotations that have him on field and basic attack often
What whould be team's rotation(not super sweaty) for calcharo/jianxin/verina?
I don't know much about the game mechanics yet, but rotation looks like fighting games combos, shouldn't a macro help for obtaining the perfect numbers?
" I am to old for that. " I felt that @iamrivenous
Hope you can create a. More beginner friendly guide. He seems hard to play. Is there any other simpler combo for him?
FINALLY
6:05 Interestingly, on Prydwen's updated calculations, the Standard 5* Lustrous Razor is the one 4% ahead of Verdant Summit. (Verdant Summit used to be 5% ahead before)
Not sure if this is because of a change on the skill rotation used, or because of Lustrous Razor's mistranlation
(In reality, Lustrous Razor passive skill caps at 3 stacks, not not 2. The CN desciption also says 3 stacks, so this is very likely a mistralation rather than a bug.)
Btw, I'm curious: do the maths shown in this video take the mistranslation into account?
Oh. I didn't know about that. I'll check that. I am calculating with 2 stacks. ty
@@iamrivenous Thanks!
It should be easy to confirm it in-game by checking Calcharo's stats after hitting the skill 3 times.
Btw, as a side-note, Prydwen also used to recomend the flautist as the active echo, but recently changed their recomendation to either Tempest Mephis or Mecha Abomination (depending on the set used)
I'm not sure what led to these changes, but it's cool that the game's combat has enough complexity that people are still figuring out new strategies.
@@joaomarcoscosta4647 Yea, it was still flautist til like yesterday (?). Unfortunately these guides need a bit longer to produce and are harder to change than a website is lol. At least my sheet I can keep updated. IK why they changed it, but personally I think both are quite even up. In the end, we are only talking about a very few % diffs here anyway
can you link the song you always use in the intro? it's fire :D
praying that they release a 4 star Crit rate weapon which is not locked behind a pay wall :")
I'll stick to spamming basic attack.
Edit: also subbed 😄
I don't understand how the Calcharo 5x dodge cancel works, could you list the exact inputs? If I cancel them 5 times it doesn't look like what I can see in the bilibili video you linked, in the video the guy gets like triple stacks all the time.
Cant wait to put Yinlin with Sephiroth!
How come you use Flautist as the main echo instead of thundering/tempest Memphis?
lorewise, idlewise, animationwise, etc. etc. is literally a one for one to Sephiroth
I have a question about calcharo. I play at >177ms and for some reason his ult AA string leaves him only at the 4th gauge, which keeps me from doing the enchanced Charged Attack inmediately after the string. From testing, I think the first gauge has some delay and apears when I am doing the second AA (when Calcharo does the double slash), which makes the second gauge, which should come from the second AA, not count. Also, just tested, if I manually wait a bit of time (not sure how much) between the first AA and second AA, it works normally and I reach 5th gauge. Any tip on how to work around it or on what to do?
Edit: I just managed to do two empowered charged attacks, by waiting until the first gauge is full, after the first AA, before clicking for the second AA, but the timing is pretty tight or else the second empowered CA doesnt go off.
It happens to his skill sometimes aswell if you press it too fast :/ I sent a ticket in game so hopefully they can fix this asap
In my experience this game have funny interaction with lag & fps drop. Basically if your lagging / fps dropping when you do the skill string / ult basic atk string, it may not register a hit if it happen while lag / fps drop. It really does suck
@@MeeHun112 I hope that gets fixed. In my case I think it does register the hit and damage, but not the gauge meter.
Yes the timing is very tight, for me for example, I can do 3 DM with a quick dodge after N1, then press N2, but sometimes it fails.-. (250ms ping)
Did the weapon section include the misstranslation thing thats going on currently with Jiyans weapon?
Quick question about Autumntrace bp weapon: The stackable atk triggered by basic attacks does not stack during his ultimate since Hounds Roar is considered res lib damage?
When talking about skill priority, when you say basic attack is last, does it mean that it shouldn't be leveled? Does leveling it do nothing or is it just about resources?
Anyone saving for yinlin if so how many astrite do you have saved
Do a Verina and Danjin tutorial as well!
I truely hate the beginning stages of gatcha games when you have 5000 shiny new characters that you can’t wait to level and try out but only have enough materials to level a couple
Been a Calcharo main on day 1. I do not know how to parry outside of Calcharo lol.
what exactly is deathmessenger? like when u hold M1 with full stacks?
6:40 what do u mean with 100-120% cdmg? His basic cdmg without echoes is allready at 150% like every character
i tried to swap cancel Flautist, it doesn't do the full 10 hits because to do the full 10 hits we gotta hold onto Q button. how come this wasnt mentioned?
Yes you need to channel full for 10 hits. You can cancel it a bit early for around 7-8 hits (tho that requires some practice to know when u can/should cancel) which is enough for 2 outros.
Does your dps calc include Yinlin’s outtro being canceled when you swap back to her after death messenger?
I feel jhinshi will be a great support for calcharo
When you recommend 100%-120% CDMG do you mean bonus over the base 150%? or is it 150%-170%?
also TY for the great video i've been waiting for it
I'll change my way for the recommendations, have gotten this question/feedback quite a bit. I mean 100 base (50 u already have by default) so 200-220% total, means 50-70% from subs/mainstats. You can obviously get way more but let's stay realistic.
is it really flautist as main echo? i thought it was tempest memphis?
Can i have rover jianxin and calcharo as a team?
Two dps and a support?
In the bilibili video he's using Tempest Mephis tho
Would a hybrid dps Yangyang be a good replacement for mortefi with her outro skill giving more ultimate uptime on calcharo while also dishing good damage herself?
nope, all of her skills take too long. mortefi and yinlin fit perfectly because they just use a very fast skill or AA and by that death messenger is already finished, when you want to be back at calcharo.
Tip for calcharo build up
Attk%
crit rate%
crit damage%
as possible all 1star echo attk% same stats and 3 & 4 star echo crit rate% same stats..
The sword is possible to try to get a 5 star weapon with crit rate
my calcharo stats
1,456.00attk
crit rate 100%
crit damage 221%
Is Calcharo still same after nerf on prydwen updated tier list he is still on same spot.
Im farming calcharo echoes even now, and still I cant found an damn electro/ atk% flautist
I feel silly for not knowing this, but how much concerto is “max” concerto? Like, if his ultimate generates 20 concerto, what percentage of his gauge is that?
@@iamrivenous Thank you! I don’t know where it says that in-game I must have missed it.
How did you do that skill where Calcharo got that whole ass cutscene when switching back to him at 9:20
tried 3 accts, all Encore hahahuhu fkn annoying... What banner did you get him, on Jiyan's?
Ca you make verina support character guide please
There's info about yinlin outro skill disappearing after character swap, so it's probably gonna kill cancel swapping
As long as the character stays visibly on field, the buff does as well. Same as with Mech Abomination right now. Even says so in the description (...switched off-field).
@@iamrivenous literally tested it with jianxin outro and visuals do disappear even if you swap before calcharo goes off field
@@homeostasis1103 You're right, my bad. Re-tested it as well. I was confused because of how the 5pc Lingering Tunes Set works. However, even then I don't think it will kill swap-cancels. If you dont cancel anything, this character is straight-up garbage just as many other chars as well (encore, sanhua, ... for example)
@@iamrivenous I'm extremely high on hopium right now that it's just her outro skill localisation is bugged. Due to the bug that allowed people to actually see yilin skills ingame (the one with changing date iirc) the tooltip said "until they're switched off field". I'll be insanely disappointed if it's not bugged because it'll make calcharo another hypercarry without cancel swaps because there's no way any swaps will outperform that buff on his liberation dmg.
Hey, i was wondering if a 44111 build is aight
lil sad that u didnt talk abt the 4 4 111 option it also give u quite the dmg
How do you "DASH CANCEL" his 5 basic attacks?😔
I use him and Encore and his damage feels much lower and harder to achieve. Just Encors ranged skill alone is faster, safer and deals more damage than Calcharos entire skill+basic+heavy combo.
And Encore can’t parry, which means she breaks much slower than melee. Pros and cons to both. Encore being a ranged basic attack spammer is both her strength and weakness.
Uploaded when i need a calcharo guide, wth is the timing ?
i LOVE how my account ahs the worst weapons for every char :D the only 2h claymores i have is discord and dauntless 1s r4 and the other is r2 :DDDD
genuine question. is it more valuable to use flautist than 4cost that increases electro dmg after using?
Ngl He is giving me Yone (from League of Legends) vibe
A few notes, PLEASE CHECKOUT THE SHEET FOR ALL UPDATED INFORMATION!
- Mech Abomination and hence 5pc Lingering Tunes seems to be better than expected and portrayed in this video - It is even slightly better or at worse even up with a 5pc Void Thunder Set and much easier to play. However, you are missing out on more Energy and Concerto and need hence more ER% and will not be able to get off 2 outros during the rotation.
- 5-20% depends highly on the team and if you are able to actually get 3 Death Messengers in! I would recommend for most players to aim for a higher percentage (20-30%), just to be safe.
- As pointed out below, going 4-3-3-1-1 with for example Tempest Mephis is fine as well, it won't be that big of a difference
IMPORTANT EDIT: It was broguth to my attention that Lustrous Razor apparently Stacks to 3 instead of 2. Calcs in this video have been done with 1-2 Stacks. Sheet has been updated to include 3 Stacks
Prydwen's latest build change started recommending Thundering Memphis as Calcharo's main Echo. Thoughts on that?
@@polopessoa IMO flautist is better for the average player. prydwen changed theirs like today (?), but flautist grants afaik 8.3 energy and 10 concerto. Which means less ER required and 1 more possible Outro. But I'll add it as an option to the pinned comment
@@iamrivenous How do you swap cancel Flautist? On mobile you have to hold onto the button and if you let go Flautist disappears
@@jpeff You can hold it for a bit than cancel it. I double-checked with some others before.But if you let go to early, yea.
do u think the 3 death messengers in ult combo (dm-na4-na1-dm-na4-na1-dm) for the old NO CHINESSE normal mortals is fine?
