DoT character guides are out! Mommy Kafka Guide: ua-cam.com/video/lA1AkN3b8HI/v-deo.html Sampo Guide: ua-cam.com/video/WHyonnMrx-I/v-deo.html Luka Guide: ua-cam.com/video/vHJmgTzWp-Y/v-deo.html
Easily the most structured, illustrative and comprehensive guide on HSR Dot mechanics, all in under a compact no-nonsense 15min clip to boot. Evidently alot of time and effort put into creating this impressive guide, so thank you Sevy for this masterpiece!
Agreed. I've watched three videos trying to make sure I understand her thoroughly before I pull, and this was I felt the easiest to absorb confidently.
I do believe Kafka is going to be an interesting character, not only she is getting the Damage over Time mechanic, but we gotta respect Owlbert's words by calling us out for our thirsty behavior.
I mean sure we're all looking forward to Kafka here for... Reasons... But to be fair to the other Nihility characters, there's nothing overly unique about her kit. It's more specific to her of course but imo doesn't render other options void. Still might end up being wrong though, these are the kinds of things we'll never really know until we get her
1. Himeko and Kafka have close to no synergy together. Himeko's DoT is minuscule and is terrible enabling from Kafka + himeko builds Crit. 2. It's not a 50/50, it's a 50% base chance, without EHR it'll be a 35% chance against the average 30% resist enemy. 3. Not saying that you can't play your OTP. Just that it's a really not a good team for neither of them
holy shit THANK YOU SEVY!! I was really trying to figure out DoT mechanics but man the information out there is really hard to find right now, and as a sampo main with 90 wishes saved up for luka, I desperately needed this guide haha. This was such a well thought-out and detailed video, it just helped me understand what feels like 100 things about DoT that I couldn't wrap my head around before. Best guide maker out there god dayum. im now (im)patiently waiting for that sampo guide hahaha
Been wanting to know how DoT actually works and your explanation about it is easy to understand so thank you. I'm now starting to level up my Sampo for my future Kafka team and looking forward to your Sampo video guide.
Thank you so much Sevy! Always appreciate how to-the-point and straightforward your explanations are, you make it easy to understand! I didnt realize how different regular and break DoTs are calculated, great info to have.
Amazing Guide! Educational and very helpful in gear building. I really appreciate the side by side comparisons as well as the comparisons to Genshin. I understand break effect now! I wish I had the resources to build Kafka and Sampo....
I'm so excited for Queen Kafka! I've been saving since the beginning of the game for her (only allowing myself a few pulls on Silver Wolf's banner and I was lucky enough to get her!), so I'll definitely get Kafka (hoping to win the 50/50, of course!). Thank you for this guide! I wasn't too sure about her best relics/ornaments, so this is really helpful...as always! Good luck everybody with your pulls!!! 💕
This is such a good guide, I already know a lot about DoT mechanic from all over resources and guides. And this guide is basically everything I learned and presented it in way for people to easier to understand. Great work
Great basic and advanced breakdown on DoTs, Sevy! You're one of my most reliable TCs out there. Keep it up and best wishes on your busy August schedule!
Probably the best informational video so far on HSR. I’ve seen all Sampo and Kafka videos and anything DoT related. I have a pretty good grasp on the subject even the Normal and Break DoTs. But I can’t say this enough, that this is probably the most educational video not just on DoTs but on HSR logic I’ve ever seen.
It frames it in a perfect way that it can cater to all player types from hardcore and even casuals. You pretty much summarized the whole topic. while explaining it in the best way possible, and you even included a bunch of information and clear examples and scenarios. Bruh I’m proud of this video. Thanks Sevy
One of if not the best DOT guide thank you so much it really helped me understand dot better your explanation and details are really good and everything under 15 minutes 🤩
i dont know how to thank you, i've been searching for a video like this for many time, i havent any idea that break effect only afected damage dealt by weakness break, thats why my silver wolf was built wrong, i had put only break effect on her. thank you very much
This video is extremely helpful. As for future content, I'd like guides that show how Sampo and Luka can support a team without Kafka. Like how it'd work out if they're put into a mono element team for example. Thanks 😄
There are a certain content creator who cleared with sampo on moc 10 with 4* but cracked sets. It was a breeze for him. So I’d say that sampo is more than enough
Small note that not everyone knows regarding the physical dot The dmg cap on the physical break works ONLY on the dmg that occurs when you break the physical weakness , it doesnt apply on the Physical DoT itself . Ty for the amazing intro to DoT
But the Wiki says that the Bleed DoT still has the dmg cap based partly on the level multiplier. Can I ask where/how you got your info? Or did I misinterpret something?
4:38 that makes so much sense! i always wondered why i sometimes was able to see two stacks of wind shear on enemies when I hit with sampo but other times when I try to do it, it doesn't work.
i hope you'll include serval in the DoT guides you're making, i know she's not the best option but i plan on trying to run her with kafka just cause i really like serval ^^
Ive been maining Serval as she eas the first character i pulled. This really helped me understand her numbers and has prepared me for the DoT kafka team im hoping to build.
universal damage bonuses seem to not always apply to DoTs, like with the lightcone that was used as example 'good night and sleep well', it specifically states that it applies to DoTs, which not all % increases say
@@gloomgem5307 she will forever be good since her damage come from other unit (and a lil bit from her) for exemple if in patch 2.0 a 5 star dot char release and he does really high dot damage then she will deal even more damage so don't worry about that, she's almost future proof like silverwolf in her category
Don't have Sampo and probably wouldn't build him even if I did, don't enjoy when skills are rng. With that said I'm still rolling for Kafka, was hoping to play her together with Serval but from what I've heard that's unnecessary now because Kafka can put shock on her enemies by herself. So now I'm not really sure who to put her together with.
I quit after playing for a bit, heard Kafka was running soon n came back to farm. I saw her in the first cutscene n wanted her in my team - now have 80 pulls and 40 pity. Hope I'll get her
Very helpful and informative video. I didn’t know the difference between normal DoT and break DoT until I watched this video. There’s one thing I want to clarify for character build just for reference: so for Kafka the relics should be 4pcs lightning set with Atk% chest, atk%/spd boots, lightning bonus sphere and atk% link rope would do just fine? Also for Sampo, Luka and Serval, which one is better: ehr or atk%?
Thank you very much for giving more light on DoT stuff! About the debuffs in general, is it advised to invest only in EHR if the character's kit clearly has that text part "this x attack has an xx% chance to inflict zz debuff"? I am wondering if, for example, March's counter talent has a chance to inflict Freeze on a target without breaking its Toughness gauge. Thanks.
So, does having a high speed stat is kinda bad dot units? Considering if I don't have Kafka that can trigger dot damage when she attacks, I have to wait until the enemy turn for the dot to trigger..
Thank you for this! It would be amazing if you could also provide information regarding relic stat for them. I passed by the communities both in hoyolab and random groups. some of them think Effect hit rate better, while some said focusing on break effect is much better for dot characters. ;---; It is kinda confusing right now, lol. Thank you !
I was planning to run Kafka, Servant and Sampo with a defensive or healer but I want to ask if Luka might be better than Sampo seeing as I have neither and will probably get an ex of both.
Got introduced to a DoT team recently for SU against Svarog… Have since been building up my Sampo because I want ti see how DoT teams will operate outside of SU AND see if it’ll be a viable way to me to continue to reach more endgame content! It also helps I just unlocked Sampo’s E1 as well! Gonna he going HAM to get Kafka (though I’m a little bit bummed out that her pre-Beta ability to apply DoT weakness got removed… still excited for her though!
Kafka aesthetically blessed by the goddess will be in our hands next week. Also very informative DoT guide Sevy, although we do need more DoT characters to come, very solid starting uses for now.
The only question: can we speak about snapshoting mechanic regarding the DoTs? Do they base on the character stats in a moment of damaging or in a moment of applying?
The explanation from this vid is easy to grasp on. I've been meaning to try a DoT team if I pulled for Kafka because I happen to build Serval. I wonder if I can apply two different Shock DoT from Kafka and Serval? That would be great if it's possible.
Yes you can, plus if you break the enemy with one of them the enemy will have 3 different tick of shock. The best part is serval ult extends all three duration by 2 turns.
i would like to point out that the normal dot which is innate to a certain character stacks with other characters dots of the same type, currently you can only do this with burn. So you can have Astas Burn, Hooks Burn and Himekos Burn active on the same enemy at the same time. Which also means that you should be able to run servals shock together with kafkas shock aswell.
I regret not building sampo now, I have serval semi built tho and I always wamted Kafka since cbt. I'm getting her eitherway and then build a DoT for her ♥️
I pulled for Kafka on the last day of banner because I decided I shouldn't skip her, your guides on DoT, Sampo, and Kafka have been as fantastic as they are life saving!! Really in depth and I really understand this mechanic and teambuild now!
Hello! I was looking at the abilities of both Kafka and Serval and noticed that both of them describe the damage of Shock differently. If I build a team with both Kafka and Serval will an enemy with the Shock debuff take both instances of damage or will Shock only apply one?
so if i want to increase the DoT damage from my characters i need to build my character with break effects and any Elemental boost Dmg is that right or i get it wrong😅

Hey amazing content as usual been thinking having Ruan mei on the roaster does that change this concept with also having Kafka in it?
Easily the most structured, illustrative and comprehensive guide on HSR Dot mechanics, all in under a compact no-nonsense 15min clip to boot. Evidently alot of time and effort put into creating this impressive guide, so thank you Sevy for this masterpiece!
I know right I couldn’t help it and even commented the same thing, even though I don’t usually do that.
Thank you as well!
Agreed. I've watched three videos trying to make sure I understand her thoroughly before I pull, and this was I felt the easiest to absorb confidently.
Kafka is like the “Crit” of DoT teams, triggering the DoT extra times is the same as the DoT critting.
Good way to put it.
that's kinda true lol, the multiplier of kafka can be considered as cdmg of the dot
you need e1-2 for her to be what everyone wants her to be a "DOT support"
@@treebush her e0 is still a great DoT support. Her E2 just makes her better
@@monke2077 It's E1 now that makes other DOTs better i do believe. E2 is break efficiency or something like that.
I do believe Kafka is going to be an interesting character, not only she is getting the Damage over Time mechanic, but we gotta respect Owlbert's words by calling us out for our thirsty behavior.
She was made for us to Thirst.
I mean sure we're all looking forward to Kafka here for... Reasons... But to be fair to the other Nihility characters, there's nothing overly unique about her kit. It's more specific to her of course but imo doesn't render other options void. Still might end up being wrong though, these are the kinds of things we'll never really know until we get her
She’s also going to age well they will never stop releasing occasional dot units so she will get better better over time
@@Qdawwg Then it's time to save, not sure if I'm able to grind for Blade still, been a while since I played 🥲
@@Qdawwg Absolutely. I don't ever see DoT becoming irrelevant in the game
By far the best DoT explanation video I’ve seen for Star Rail. Thank you so much for this, Sevy! I’m super excited for Kafka.
Glad it helped and me too!
Can’t wait for Kafka since the play style is something I like a lot plus pairing her with Himeko is gonna be so fun and will work well.
Himeko needs a lot of effect hit rate
Himeko has a 50% base chance for burn, and y’all know how painful 50/50s can be
I'm the same, I already prefarmed her and have my Himeko built up. as for the 50/50 comment above, it doesn't matter I believe RNJesus would favor us.
1. Himeko and Kafka have close to no synergy together. Himeko's DoT is minuscule and is terrible enabling from Kafka + himeko builds Crit.
2. It's not a 50/50, it's a 50% base chance, without EHR it'll be a 35% chance against the average 30% resist enemy.
3. Not saying that you can't play your OTP. Just that it's a really not a good team for neither of them

Outstanding video. Very informative. This helps a lot.
Very informative guide about DoT. Thanks Sevy!

Great video! Covers all the aspects of DoT.

WoW your guide have a super high quality, ty so much for your work
what an awesome guide, i learned a lot!
Clear and precise as always. Ty!
Looking forward to your Kafka and Sampo guides

Amazing guide, no other UA-cam guide really explains the mechanics and has great builds tbh
this info is huge for building DOT teams appreciate the good video

this is so good and amazing tysm 💕💕😭💕💕
So excited for Kafka! I've been playing DoT since the game came out, and she's gonna be the last piece i need to bring my team from good to great.
Thanks! I couldn't understand DoT at all before - and this video helps me to see why 😂
Greetings from Brazil Sevy. You're amazing with those explanations. Great video and a superb guide.
Thanks for the guide!
Thank you waiting for this guide
thanks @SevyPlays, the content was insightful.
Sevy, you are the best!
this is an eye opener! I've been wanting to build sampo but I didn't know what stats to get to improve his dot. can't wait to get luka!

cant wait for kafka i want to pull her now
Your videos butter My biscuits thank you
The explanation from this vid is easy to grasp on. I've been meaning to try a DoT team if I pulled for Kafka because I happen to build Serval. I wonder if I can apply two different Shock DoT from Kafka and Serval? That would be great if it's possible.
Yes you can, plus if you break the enemy with one of them the enemy will have 3 different tick of shock. The best part is serval ult extends all three duration by 2 turns.
youre always good at getting guides out quick while keeping them informative and entertaining and i appreciate that
SEVY, THE BEST GUIDE MAKER
i would like to point out that the normal dot which is innate to a certain character stacks with other characters dots of the same type, currently you can only do this with burn. So you can have Astas Burn, Hooks Burn and Himekos Burn active on the same enemy at the same time. Which also means that you should be able to run servals shock together with kafkas shock aswell.
I regret not building sampo now, I have serval semi built tho and I always wamted Kafka since cbt. I'm getting her eitherway and then build a DoT for her ♥️
I pulled for Kafka on the last day of banner because I decided I shouldn't skip her, your guides on DoT, Sampo, and Kafka have been as fantastic as they are life saving!! Really in depth and I really understand this mechanic and teambuild now!
I was literally JUST searching for Kafka main guides on reddit when this video popped up.
Hello! I was looking at the abilities of both Kafka and Serval and noticed that both of them describe the damage of Shock differently. If I build a team with both Kafka and Serval will an enemy with the Shock debuff take both instances of damage or will Shock only apply one?
so if i want to increase the DoT damage from my characters i need to build my character with break effects and any Elemental boost Dmg is that right or i get it wrong😅
So BE built Silver Wolf can work well with Kafka? Managed to luck out and get her on a couple 10warps
