At e6 Gallagher has continued to impress me. I don't like break gameplay at all so i use him purely as a healer and he's just insane. He genuinely makes me question whether I NEED a 5 star abundance unit.
yes you do. well maybe you dont need for abundance, but as a person who LOST ALL MY DAMN 50/50 ON ALL MY LIMITED 5 STAR SUSTAIN, im getting 1 tapped in my non gallagher team😭😭😭😭
you do. i have all the op sustain characters and i find them best in slots for different teams (except Luocha, these days i dont really know where to slot him except in a jingliu team)
If you're lucky. (In the beginner banner) You can get 1 herta for free... (Which happend to my second account. In my eliminated & first account i just got 3 dan hengs...)
I'll be that guy 5. Herta 4. Gallagher (it's recommended to have his E2/E4) 3. Pela 2. Harmony Trailblazer 1. Tingyun Tingyun and Herta is a must, Harmony TB requires some specific team line up and considerably will do better with Gallagher in their side (until we get the next break Abundance or Preservation)
Harmony Trailblazer simplifies break gameplay and allows any unit access to super break, you don’t even need a specific comp as super break will generally just increase the damage period, not a must build but pretty much in the same level as Gallagher and Pela,also if you’re building Gallagher it’s no reason not to build Harmony MC tbh
In my opinion, Pela is the easiest and most broken 4*. People really underestimate how much her def shread carries. At max talent and E6 its a 40% reduction. And if you get her energy regen and effect hit rate high enough, you can have a 2 turn ult Pela. Giving every enemey a literal infinite -40% def debuff. She barely requires requires any investment, all you need is the penacony planar set with energy rope and minimal effect hit rate stats and you have her built.
Been using tingyun since 1.0 and yes really a great support to have to charge up you main dps’ energy 🎉 meanwhile i’ve neglected pela for the longest time 😢
I feel like Sampo deserves to be recognized more. Before I have any dot 🤭DPS, Sampo-Serval was my only break-dot team. He could easily do raw 40-80K break damage. Dots with Serval will also do damages around the same amount. But of course having his Eidolons will makes him much better than E0
Although niche considering most DoT priority is capitalized on by five star units, Guinafen is an absolute beast when it comes to building burn stacks! She complements both Kafka and Black Swan very well and if you love Nihility and can't wait for a five star fire unit to drop, she's absolutely worth building.
Just started working on her the other day got everything to lvl 70 and all of her other stuff are almost completely done until I can reach lvl 80 her follow up is my favorite it never fails to whoop ass😭
YESS!!! gallagher love!! i use him all the time, i have him at like e3 or something and his cleanse is so usefull and hes super SP friendly, his break is usedul too
For a long time, I had no Tingyun and an unbuilt E6 Pela. The game continued to pressure me into building Pela until I actually did it just so I could stop getting more copies. I don't regret it, although she's kind of fallen out of use lately, and I think two 4-stars later I got my first Tingyun. (Ironically, I use Pela way more often than Tingyun even now. I don't know why.)
i would have changed Pela for Asta. the speed buff she provides can make any slow offensive unit into heavy hitters, and fast units into even faster units, which for a lot of the content is incredibly useful, as it lets you play 50% more turns in the same number of cycles, without having her completely leveled up. (at least for characters with 100 speed.) not only that, but as her basic attacks can burn enemies, it can go really well with black swan in dot teams, as you can hit some enemies twice per turn without having to build over 150 speed, which a lot of youtubers recomend.
I have Gallagher at E1 and despite his lack of cleanses he is now on my standard team. He is an insane unit by himself and even more so with the Harmony MC - two must build units, bc if u build them right enemies don‘t even get to attack u
My Tingyun is built but not super well, so you have convinced me to flesh her out a bit. I use her occasionally and even with her half assed build she gets me through a lot of content. Imagine what she could do with good relics and maxed out traces!
I currently have a (gremlin) who does more damage than all my other characters combined (including my 5 stars). I’m sure it’s just that I haven’t upgraded my characters far enough, but it’s not even close. Matching her up with Sparkle and Huohuo…
Tbh, I kinda wished that dude added QQ, as a QQ main, I still build her, mostly b/c it’s fun, but also because her dmg mutiplication is able to be as good, or greater than other 5 star dmg dealers, as well as being just about viable in all content types. (I use her for Pf with a Himeko/herta where there’s quantum, I use her in MoC for quantum weak since I also don’t have Silverwolf, and before Acheron, she was my main dps for SU, even after my Jingliu. b/c propogation was busted, and she could clear just about all SU content, and this was before e6, or any eidolons, with e4 + just being busted. ) While yeah, since she’s a dmg dealer that will get powercrept, I do think if u have her, and she’s above e3, go for it, since she’s still a very good carry, especially with Robin coming out. (The maximum ult dmg I ever got with my QQ outside of SU and in the overworld, was 610k running a fu xuan, sparkle and Ruan Mei, with a bad robin, I can output close to 603k with that comp, meaning that their is even more dmg to be made. -I’m personally trying to go for 700k on ult rn, so I can also outdmg my Acheron, who does 625k- ) As long as your willing to put investment into you teams, they will go far, and just about any character is viable if your willing to put in the work to get them there.
I’m a QQ main myself but tbh, I understand why they didn’t include her. Not even just for the reason that she’ll inevitably be powercrept, but because she’s a hypercarry. It’s really difficult to call a carry a “must-build” because they’re usually the easiest to swap out. Don’t have QQ? Swap in IL, or Serval… and so on. In most of those cases, the supports stay the same. As you’ve already elaborated, she’s as close to a “must build” as a carry can be. The big difference is that all the other units mentioned can easily slot into different teams (and team archetypes) and in some cases, make or break said team. That being said, QQ has been carrying me since 1.2 and she literally hits harder than my Acheron. True bruh moment.
@@dontnoticemesenpai6745 yeah, but for early game, she is really one of the best options, being that she’s able to still contend with 5 stars, even though 8~ patches have passed since her introduction in 1.1 Yeah, she’s not 100% needed, but it’s a nice have.
These two skipped Honorable mentions lol. She is mentioned but like it is stated, there are better alternatives thus they are not part of the ranking yet they are part of Honorable mentions.
I literally started to play just for Serval and her ult so she is special for me. Idk why i love jarlio and its characters sm I have everyone except Luka,Bronya and Seele
Gallagher is SO GOOD. E2 is a must for debuff cleanse but he was already Carrying my teams way before E6, being at E6 just makes my teams NEVER have problems because he 1- Heals so much and 2- Break enemies so quickly that they dont get to hit a lot lmao
Asta is also very strong. Her Charging effect can provide even more attack than Tingyun’s benediction (Up to 77%!) while not relying on her attack, letting you build Asta defensively without losing buff effectiveness, and applies to the whole party, and her Ultimate providing a massive speed boost and targeting allies means it can be combined with both Dance Dance Dance and Messenger Traversing Hackerspace to tremendously accelerate the team’s next action, and accelerate their next action after that quite a bit too, meaning they can act more, therefore just doing everything better, be it doing damage, buffing, debuffing, healing, shielding, or building energy.
Well tbf, Asta is not much needed in most contents unlike the mentioned characters. She is also SP negative. I like using her thou for MoC and Pure Fiction.
Sampo at e4 is just a budget kafka ngl, paired with black swan he's pretty good. Not to mention his sub dps potential with kafka instead of using black swan or guanaifen is pretty high because he can increase DoT damage. He's very niche but worth it
"Low investment" on Pela? I haven't built her yet because I can't get a single one of the recommended light cones for her 😭 I've her l had her since I started playing, she's the first character I ever pulled. But I haven't pulled a Resolution or anything else to make me feel like she can live up to her potential. I've been actively playing for about eight months. My luck ends up in other characters...
When I first started herta was great then I got more characters and she got left at level 60. Then pure fiction came and I pumped her up and she’s great for making farming so much quicker as well. Himiko does great beside her but the fact herta pops her talent based on health reduced while himiko needs breaks makes herta more viable
At first I found gallagher kinda mid, but after I realized I hadn't unlocked the trace that gives him a big action forward with each ult I just use him so much! It's so efficient
E6 Harmony TB and E6 Gallagher are on my team ALWAYS - together with Misha (another 4 star! - my damage dealer) and Aventurine. I think I'm doing pretty good ^_^
Hi new player here, I just started Jarilo-VI planet and I don't know what character should I focus on lvling because I heard people say "Focus early only on 4 characters because resources" but I dunno who to lvl up I'm at AR lvl 10. Also another tip would be amazing if you guys could tell me if I should wish for dmg dealer first or for support ?
Before watching the video, if I had to choose 5 4 stars you should build, they'd be Herta, Gallagher, Pela, Tingyun, and HM7th Edit: Just watched it, Trailblazer is technically a 5 star so I didn't count them, but yeah they're still definitely a must build. I'd also agree Xueyi and QQ are honorable mentions, but only really for people with no 5 star DPS, all the other 4 stars mentioned can be useful for longer. I will say that I think both Herta and gallagher are above Tingyun now, or maybe gallagher and tingyun are tied, because no matter what 5 stars you have, Herta is always amazing for PF, and gallagher is actually able to sustain teams really well with basically no skill points, and is a staple in break teams, whereas Tingyun can be replaced with other limited supports that can just give more
in genshin they made bennett as 4star, and again here... they made tingyun as 4star.. now imagine of of em gets a 5star upgrades? just like in genshin yelan was xingqiu upgrade. and in hsr sparkle is bronya upgrade
If you're using phys trailblazer you're kinda softblocked from any break teams, he's just a lot more useful in his other forms, and gets completely overshadowed in raw stats and dmg by most other five star dps units. Especially if you can just use a combo of harmony TB + Boothill and obliterate any single-target content in the game nowdays. not tryna dissuade you from using it, I do think the bat looks cool. I'm just explaining why.
I've honestly never once thought about using Tingyun's on herself. Then again that's 0 cycle and I only aim for max stars regardless of cycles. Other than that, great list. I've never actually build Pela but I've seen her value but can confirm all the other mentioned characters are definitely "must build".
i personally would put HMC no 1, pela 2, tingyun 3, gallagher 4 tingyun isnt a bad unit but with super break meta, acheron team, pure dot nihility team, pure quantum team, ect does not need tingyun at all i think her value drop off abit compared to previous patches. meanwhile pela value only goes higher and hmc being beyond busted capable making any unit into an MoC slaying squad without the need of tingyun. but tingyun indeed the best at making a normal dps does big number.
Himeko, Gallagher, Luocha, Kafka, Serval are characters that can break the minions on-demand with their ult (2 from the selection) to weaken the boss' attacks. Also could you remove the boss' name from the comment for spoilers? :)
Ive been playing since day 1 and still got no Tingyun eidolons 🤡💀💀💀 I’m f2p but i have most of my 4* at e4-6 but still no tingyun like girl hates me. Thanks for the guide! Planning to build gallagher but im out of resources lol
The thing about Ting Yun, is she has this magic invisible magnetic field that just makes every enemy attracted to only damaging her. She's that OP that even the enemies know to target her, huh?
Nice. I have a lv80 e6 herta built and i love her (love her design too, i mainly build the characters i think are cool (rip asta, arlan and tingyun) i know i shouod buikd tingyun but i just havent got around to it yet Xuyei is one of my best built characters tho, got her E4, 8/10 on all traces, all relic slots +15 and at least decent substats (3 of her relics are damn awesome) all the 3 bonus abilities and all the stat boosts aparts from the 3 most expensive. Its really Acheron, Gepard, Jingliu and Xuyei that carry my teams. That is my ideal max damage team haha. My Qingque is up there tho and even tho shes not as well built (cos relics) she's my fave design and can hit 10k without a criit on her enhanced attack against 1 opponent 😊
Its unrelated to the video but i was saving for firefly thinking next half is the next patch and i now have to control the urge to pull for a hole month btw iam in a dire need for a 5 star dps bcs i didn't login to the game since launch and i missed dr ratio so iam stuck with gebard and bailu (i hate bailu soo much and was the reason i quit)
@@PalestineWillBeFreeEventually Yeah its a bummer but shes still awesome. Im only TB level 55 and character levels 70 just now. Question, are you supposed to wait and do Swarm and Gears etc after you complete the game and are level 80?
What characters can i use if i want March 7 Hunt in my team? I dont have gallagher tingyun or pela 😅 my team right now is Fire TB Natasha Serval March 7 Hunt 🙈 but later i change Natasha to Lynx 🙈
Any character that attacks frequently is good(follow-ups count) for using as her shifu. What other harmony character do you have? You can do a bootleg superbreak team with harmony TB but I don't know if you are committed to Fire TB. Asta works as an all around buffer, She doesn't have Tingyun's energy gen but is still generally good. really not sure what other options that you have so hard to give advice beyond that.
Wow, it's pretty fun, because i use heroes that in relic sections, have the lowest percentage in the relic's pick rate, so....i started building Pela and Gallagher for this, Hertha, Trailblazer because they are Waifu...i raise every form of Trailblazer. Yes, i am a menace, my Arlan has an 80% crit rate after all😂
i dont really understand how Gallagher is a good healer tbh. I have him E2S4 ( his lightcone ) and while he works okay for my dot team ( ruan mei, black swan, kafka ) he flops literally everywhere else. I'd also like to add Hanya as an honorable mention. She feels like a budget Sparkle and shes just as fast as Tingyun when built properly.
Gallagher if u build him with enough break effect he heals similar to luocha and his bessoted state heals a lot and its good for aoe dmg dealers the more ennmies they hit the more they heal gallagher has lots of weakness break efficient to help break fire weak ennmies and if he breaks fire ennmies his dmg can be decent. Gallagher bessoted state buffs the break dmg that ennmies recieve which is good for more dmg. Gallagher is also sp postive like the fact he can take 3 actions in one ult then he gets action advanced to enchanced basic to basic attack. Also with htb gallagher can be hitting numbers like 200k as his ult and enchanced basic do insane dmg with htb and for him just being a sustain crazy dmg how is gallagher not good
This is all fun and games until you know how much grind you need to do to actually get the equips to give the correct stats for that to properly work....
Tingyun gets completely overshadowed by other supports like bronya, sparkle, robin, etc. when you get them. And in MoC/PF you only have to build two teams anyway so it's not that big of a deal.
@@radleytimajo it's been a month so I slightly forgot but I think it was the skill points and speed or I was saying Hayna got powercept by Sparkle... I don't remember...
imo, she's really good for a generalist support due to her attack and speed buffs. where i believe she lacks is in consistency and the fact that she *only* provides damage and speed, unlike tingyun, who can battery, or other harmonies who provide what she gives and so much more.
@@duongnguyen-s1i I would assume the niche they're talking about is mono fire, since one of Astas major traces raises the fire damage of the whole team. She is more than usable outside of that niche though!
@@duongnguyen-s1iher consistency in atk buff is the problem. You have to use her skill every time to keep full stacks. You also need her e6 to make it manageable. She is SP negative support which is very important to consider when you are building a team. Tbh if you can’t keep up with sp consumption, she is just a speed buffer.
I mean... I haven't played Genshin since inazuma but there were plenty of free 4 stars that kicked ass backed then. I can't imagine Bennet/Xiangling/Xingqiu aren't at least relevent and those are just the ones that were outperforming their 5-star competition. Beidou and Fishcl were pretty strong sub DPS and energy gen units, their biggest issue was that they were electro and I heard that after Dendro came out electro units raised in value (wasn't playing can't confirm, but still followed some theory crafter content for awhile). Sucrose was comparable to Kazua and while not as strong as Venti was still a good substitute for anyone that couldn't pull for him. Even on release Kaeya WAS the best Cryo carry until Ganyu came out and he got power crept into oblivion, and even then he had his use as a sub DPS to maintain freeze.
Hot take but I don't think Tingyun is really that good. I'm definitely biased but most of the teams I run as a f2p (Jingliu Hypercarry, Single-target FUA, DoT, Acheron Hypercarry, Boothill/Firefly/Xueyi break, QQ/IL Hypercarry, etc) don't usually have Tingyun as a BiS teammate. I would say she's a maybe-build for early-game players, but gets replaced very quickly.
I use the 2pc ice DMG and a 2pc break effect. And then the Hertas Station set for atk bonus. Focus on atk and break DMG. She does EXTREMELY well for me. I also got the Nihility light cone from the simulated universe store which works really well on her.
Sadly, I feel this video has aged quite a bit. Right now, Gallagher not only is a must-pull for the Super Break meta teams (that weren't a big meta 5 months ago) but now Lingsha is edging him out, so he's not as vital for Break teams as he used to be. Still important! But not as niche of a healer as he used to be. And now there's Hunt March 7th. Who seems exceptionally important for FUA teams. Makes me wonder what the meta will be like in 5 months.
Hope you enjoy the video!

I wound up E6ing Gallagher while pulling for Acheron and I just recently E6'd Xuyei their both so great.
Asta is also very strong. Her Charging effect can provide even more attack than Tingyun’s benediction (Up to 77%!) while not relying on her attack, letting you build Asta defensively without losing buff effectiveness, and applies to the whole party, and her Ultimate providing a massive speed boost and targeting allies means it can be combined with both Dance Dance Dance and Messenger Traversing Hackerspace to tremendously accelerate the team’s next action, and accelerate their next action after that quite a bit too, meaning they can act more, therefore just doing everything better, be it doing damage, buffing, debuffing, healing, shielding, or building energy.
gallagher's goated fr just spam his burst and your team (especially for the endgame mode you mentioned for herta) does all the healing for itself
proud to say i have them all built except tingyun (i have her e6 but the speed set hates me)
Press F for asta who wasn't even put in honorable mention
Asta got power crept. Hanya I feel is a much better 4* harmony that still gives a ton of speed
Less than half the speed, only to one ally, and Asta atk boost is the highest in the game before Robin when max stacks and is also a full team buff
@@VyrussGG asta gives speed to the whole party, and more of it, as well as a lot more attack
Well tbf, Asta is not much needed in most contents unlike the mentioned characters. She is also SP negative. I like using her thou for MoC and Pure Fiction.
@@jerviealbay2991 she's sp positive against fire weak enemies at E6.
Sampo at e4 is just a budget kafka ngl, paired with black swan he's pretty good. Not to mention his sub dps potential with kafka instead of using black swan or guanaifen is pretty high because he can increase DoT damage. He's very niche but worth it
"Low investment" on Pela? I haven't built her yet because I can't get a single one of the recommended light cones for her 😭
I've her l had her since I started playing, she's the first character I ever pulled. But I haven't pulled a Resolution or anything else to make me feel like she can live up to her potential.
I've been actively playing for about eight months. My luck ends up in other characters...
This is what I am saying pela falls off when u don't have pearls of swet
"psychopaths that use physical trailblazer" omg theyre talking about meee
When I first started herta was great then I got more characters and she got left at level 60. Then pure fiction came and I pumped her up and she’s great for making farming so much quicker as well. Himiko does great beside her but the fact herta pops her talent based on health reduced while himiko needs breaks makes herta more viable
At first I found gallagher kinda mid, but after I realized I hadn't unlocked the trace that gives him a big action forward with each ult I just use him so much! It's so efficient
The best thing in thingyun is that she can do as your tank with her hidden pasive 5k agro
E6 Harmony TB and E6 Gallagher are on my team ALWAYS - together with Misha (another 4 star! - my damage dealer) and Aventurine. I think I'm doing pretty good ^_^
5:23 her e4 does help out as it's considered as debuff
Hi new player here, I just started Jarilo-VI planet and I don't know what character should I focus on lvling because I heard people say "Focus early only on 4 characters because resources" but I dunno who to lvl up I'm at AR lvl 10. Also another tip would be amazing if you guys could tell me if I should wish for dmg dealer first or for support ?
Ooh, I actually have all these characters somehow. Thanks for the tips!
Still using Lynx and going to huild gallagher hoping its not to late to build from he being powercreed
Your pfp makes me happy
Ill be honest...i haven't even taken herta off my team once since getting her,nim at panecony..and shes still the soul killer for me😌 shes my favorite
My Gallagher is E26 and my Pela is E21. Herta is E6. But my Tingyun is only E3 💀💀💀
Before watching the video, if I had to choose 5 4 stars you should build, they'd be Herta, Gallagher, Pela, Tingyun, and HM7th
Edit: Just watched it, Trailblazer is technically a 5 star so I didn't count them, but yeah they're still definitely a must build. I'd also agree Xueyi and QQ are honorable mentions, but only really for people with no 5 star DPS, all the other 4 stars mentioned can be useful for longer.
I will say that I think both Herta and gallagher are above Tingyun now, or maybe gallagher and tingyun are tied, because no matter what 5 stars you have, Herta is always amazing for PF, and gallagher is actually able to sustain teams really well with basically no skill points, and is a staple in break teams, whereas Tingyun can be replaced with other limited supports that can just give more
in genshin they made bennett as 4star, and again here... they made tingyun as 4star..
now imagine of of em gets a 5star upgrades? just like in genshin yelan was xingqiu upgrade. and in hsr sparkle is bronya upgrade
What's people's issue with physical Trailblazer? I really like him and his damage. I am glad cuz I never use genshin mc
If you're using phys trailblazer you're kinda softblocked from any break teams, he's just a lot more useful in his other forms, and gets completely overshadowed in raw stats and dmg by most other five star dps units. Especially if you can just use a combo of harmony TB + Boothill and obliterate any single-target content in the game nowdays.
not tryna dissuade you from using it, I do think the bat looks cool. I'm just explaining why.
@@radleytimajo which is what I inquired about. Thank you :)
I stopped using my traveler in genshin once I got kazuha
if u got himeko, that means you have to upgrade the kururing girl, this 2 lads is too damn good
Should I build herta over serval?
I've honestly never once thought about using Tingyun's on herself. Then again that's 0 cycle and I only aim for max stars regardless of cycles. Other than that, great list. I've never actually build Pela but I've seen her value but can confirm all the other mentioned characters are definitely "must build".
The fact Xueyi isn’t on here as a break fan is a sin. Like she’s so fun to play
im glad to hear tingyun is good and that i shoulda built her already. i think she's really hot.
Except Herta and Harmony MC I got the rest at E6 yet I have not build them yet, guess I should now thanks
i personally would put HMC no 1, pela 2, tingyun 3, gallagher 4
tingyun isnt a bad unit but with super break meta, acheron team, pure dot nihility team, pure quantum team, ect does not need tingyun at all i think her value drop off abit compared to previous patches. meanwhile pela value only goes higher and hmc being beyond busted capable making any unit into an MoC slaying squad without the need of tingyun.
but tingyun indeed the best at making a normal dps does big number.
What are some chrecters that i should build to beat the 2.2 boss? i cant beat it
Fire mc, March, Gallagher, lynx.
Himeko, Gallagher, Luocha, Kafka, Serval are characters that can break the minions on-demand with their ult (2 from the selection) to weaken the boss' attacks.
Also could you remove the boss' name from the comment for spoilers? :)
@@FakeRDSamurai oh my bad
Wouldn’t harmony mc be better?
Did it with fire MC, serval, lynx and tingyun
I dont hv pela and I'm suffering 😭
I've tried pulling on the standard banner for her but no luck so far :(
I did 150 pulls on Acheron's banner to also try and get Gallagher and got a grand total of 0 copies lol got like 11 Pela FML... I just wanted one lol
Did the same lol but got his e4 and 2 acherons, bad luck now means good luck later! You can't lose them all!
Wasn't there a 4 star selector on Acheron patch?
I had to use the selector to get Gallagher 😭 (I have e6 Acheron)
@merry.6851 Wow, that's rough not a single copy of Gallagher in all those pulls
Nice video. For the next ones, please can you move the mouse cursor out of frame? It’s super distracting
All e0 characs, Himeko Gallagher March 7th and Pela. Am I cooked??
Ive been playing since day 1 and still got no Tingyun eidolons 🤡💀💀💀 I’m f2p but i have most of my 4* at e4-6 but still no tingyun like girl hates me.
Thanks for the guide! Planning to build gallagher but im out of resources lol
this is the sign that i should start building my tingyun
Oh em gee! Natty you’re amazing!
The thing about Ting Yun, is she has this magic invisible magnetic field that just makes every enemy attracted to only damaging her. She's that OP that even the enemies know to target her, huh?
I know, I was waiting for him to mention that T_T
lynx herta pela, annnnnnnddddd maybe natasha/march
those are my guesses on who is going to be recomended
no salt, just expecting .... boring for lack of a polite word..... meta picks
Natasha and march are shit u were really expecting them to be on the must builds then u are delusional @@protolight1654
Nice. I have a lv80 e6 herta built and i love her (love her design too, i mainly build the characters i think are cool (rip asta, arlan and tingyun) i know i shouod buikd tingyun but i just havent got around to it yet
Xuyei is one of my best built characters tho, got her E4, 8/10 on all traces, all relic slots +15 and at least decent substats (3 of her relics are damn awesome) all the 3 bonus abilities and all the stat boosts aparts from the 3 most expensive.
Its really Acheron, Gepard, Jingliu and Xuyei that carry my teams. That is my ideal max damage team haha.
My Qingque is up there tho and even tho shes not as well built (cos relics) she's my fave design and can hit 10k without a criit on her enhanced attack against 1 opponent 😊
Only 4 star ive built is herta.... the rest ive forgotten on lvl 60 xd too busy building every new banner chracter that pops up itll never enddd
i have tingyun but for some reason i dont like her so i never used her or upgraded her. guess i will do that now
Its unrelated to the video but i was saving for firefly thinking next half is the next patch and i now have to control the urge to pull for a hole month btw iam in a dire need for a 5 star dps bcs i didn't login to the game since launch and i missed dr ratio so iam stuck with gebard and bailu (i hate bailu soo much and was the reason i quit)
I got Bailu when i first started and she has been on my team ever since, she is never not in my squad! NEVER!
@@themelon7112 in later stage's of the game cleansing is very important and bailu sadly doesn't have that
@@PalestineWillBeFreeEventually Yeah its a bummer but shes still awesome. Im only TB level 55 and character levels 70 just now. Question, are you supposed to wait and do Swarm and Gears etc after you complete the game and are level 80?
The TB is not technically a 5 star. They ARE a 5 star.
4.5 then. Stats is 4*, kit is 5*. Shit under super break TB do more dmg than my Acheron.
Harmony TB and Tingyun is so good support
Destruction Trailblazer is a good DPS, just takes some time.
What characters can i use if i want March 7 Hunt in my team? I dont have gallagher tingyun or pela 😅 my team right now is Fire TB Natasha Serval March 7 Hunt 🙈 but later i change Natasha to Lynx 🙈
Any character that attacks frequently is good(follow-ups count) for using as her shifu. What other harmony character do you have? You can do a bootleg superbreak team with harmony TB but I don't know if you are committed to Fire TB. Asta works as an all around buffer, She doesn't have Tingyun's energy gen but is still generally good. really not sure what other options that you have so hard to give advice beyond that.
But my Gallagher is E0...
U got another chance he on firefly banner
Idc how amazing Pela, Gallagher and Herta may be, I am never playing them soz
Wow, it's pretty fun, because i use heroes that in relic sections, have the lowest percentage in the relic's pick rate, so....i started building Pela and Gallagher for this, Hertha, Trailblazer because they are Waifu...i raise every form of Trailblazer.
Yes, i am a menace, my Arlan has an 80% crit rate after all😂
i dont really understand how Gallagher is a good healer tbh. I have him E2S4 ( his lightcone ) and while he works okay for my dot team ( ruan mei, black swan, kafka ) he flops literally everywhere else.
I'd also like to add Hanya as an honorable mention. She feels like a budget Sparkle and shes just as fast as Tingyun when built properly.
Gallagher if u build him with enough break effect he heals similar to luocha and his bessoted state heals a lot and its good for aoe dmg dealers the more ennmies they hit the more they heal gallagher has lots of weakness break efficient to help break fire weak ennmies and if he breaks fire ennmies his dmg can be decent. Gallagher bessoted state buffs the break dmg that ennmies recieve which is good for more dmg. Gallagher is also sp postive like the fact he can take 3 actions in one ult then he gets action advanced to enchanced basic to basic attack. Also with htb gallagher can be hitting numbers like 200k as his ult and enchanced basic do insane dmg with htb and for him just being a sustain crazy dmg how is gallagher not good
This is all fun and games until you know how much grind you need to do to actually get the equips to give the correct stats for that to properly work....
My herta and feixao just destroy the enemy before i get a turn.
And then i think number4 the dps must change to march7 hunt, and moze 👍
>QQ does low damage
Me with top %5 QQ doing 150k damage every basic ATK:
How have you built her?
@@gracefulweirdo6772 70/165 ratio 3k atk with s5 breakfast lc and no spd
Gallagher is still the best healer, he's still great, I hope HSR release another healer that would throw out Gallagher
I almost got bummed because I didn't have #1, but I actually have Robin so perhaps it's not a huge loss haha
Tingyun gets completely overshadowed by other supports like bronya, sparkle, robin, etc. when you get them. And in MoC/PF you only have to build two teams anyway so it's not that big of a deal.
But, but, harmony trailblazer is a 5 star
Surprised you didn't include Asta instead of Harmony MC, I mean yeah Harmony MC is busted but Asta is great too
I was curious as well and from reading other comments in the video apparently Asta got powercrept by many characters including Hayna (edit: typo)
@@SRGSUNSET I'm confused, why Hanya?
@@radleytimajo it's been a month so I slightly forgot but I think it was the skill points and speed or I was saying Hayna got powercept by Sparkle... I don't remember...
Where is hook on c4 cooks like crazy
is asta a good 4 star. in paper, i see her utility is very good but everyone says she is bad
imo, she's really good for a generalist support due to her attack and speed buffs. where i believe she lacks is in consistency and the fact that she *only* provides damage and speed, unlike tingyun, who can battery, or other harmonies who provide what she gives and so much more.
Honestly Asta is really great. When she's well built, your characters can do multiple attacks in a single turn
@@androgeniee i see her buffs universal but people say she is niche. what is her niche?
@@duongnguyen-s1i I would assume the niche they're talking about is mono fire, since one of Astas major traces raises the fire damage of the whole team. She is more than usable outside of that niche though!
@@duongnguyen-s1iher consistency in atk buff is the problem. You have to use her skill every time to keep full stacks. You also need her e6 to make it manageable. She is SP negative support which is very important to consider when you are building a team. Tbh if you can’t keep up with sp consumption, she is just a speed buffer.
Where did you get harmony TB's 6th eidolon huh? TELL ME NOW
Next update. We got it for free
One thing I like about HSR over Genshin is that 4 stars are actually good. There’s like 3 useable ones in Genshin.
I mean... I haven't played Genshin since inazuma but there were plenty of free 4 stars that kicked ass backed then. I can't imagine Bennet/Xiangling/Xingqiu aren't at least relevent and those are just the ones that were outperforming their 5-star competition. Beidou and Fishcl were pretty strong sub DPS and energy gen units, their biggest issue was that they were electro and I heard that after Dendro came out electro units raised in value (wasn't playing can't confirm, but still followed some theory crafter content for awhile). Sucrose was comparable to Kazua and while not as strong as Venti was still a good substitute for anyone that couldn't pull for him. Even on release Kaeya WAS the best Cryo carry until Ganyu came out and he got power crept into oblivion, and even then he had his use as a sub DPS to maintain freeze.
Asta and sampo should be on the list
Great the only one of these 5 i have is herta
Hot take but I don't think Tingyun is really that good. I'm definitely biased but most of the teams I run as a f2p (Jingliu Hypercarry, Single-target FUA, DoT, Acheron Hypercarry, Boothill/Firefly/Xueyi break, QQ/IL Hypercarry, etc) don't usually have Tingyun as a BiS teammate.
I would say she's a maybe-build for early-game players, but gets replaced very quickly.
What relic set should i use on Pela?
I use the 2pc ice DMG and a 2pc break effect. And then the Hertas Station set for atk bonus. Focus on atk and break DMG. She does EXTREMELY well for me. I also got the Nihility light cone from the simulated universe store which works really well on her.
i have bronya, should i still built tingyun ( im new to the game)
i think tingyun works well in quite a few team comps where bronya doesn’t really fit, plus she’s SP efficient
Idk why but I just don't like tingyun's skill bc of the atk restriction.....
Physcopaths lmfao. That's the dude from Until dawn that be maiming that 😂
Pela is for sure the best 4 star unit
Sadly, I feel this video has aged quite a bit. Right now, Gallagher not only is a must-pull for the Super Break meta teams (that weren't a big meta 5 months ago) but now Lingsha is edging him out, so he's not as vital for Break teams as he used to be. Still important! But not as niche of a healer as he used to be.
And now there's Hunt March 7th. Who seems exceptionally important for FUA teams.
Makes me wonder what the meta will be like in 5 months.
