I'm glad you called out the problems with using CV as the only metric for measuring artifacts. Like yeah crit is important but if you don't have enough attack you don't have anything to use that crit for and if you don't have enough EM then your reactions are gonna hit like a wet noodle and if you don't have ER then you'll have to eeeeeeeeeeeeee to charge back up 😭

[@zephskiee5395]

Lmao i never used CV as a metric system for measuring artifact, when i go to discord server and they are flexing their CV i thought it was a metric for flexing ur rolls instead of how good the dmg output would be.

[@seph4707]

CV is awful and makes no sense to me. Doubling crit rate and adding it to crit damage to equal Crit Value? Ok so if I just build Crit rate to 100%, double it and add it to base 50% crit damage I have 250 CV...which is the same CV if I build CR to 25% and CD to 200%. All while ignoring atk% and EM. Its a dumb metric that tells me nothing about whats going on with a unit.

[@akamistify]

Yeah too many people overvalue crit stats

[@denzel4341]

Most supports buff attack so others dont value attack substats as much. Em is very rare though and is only exclusive to reaction based teams. Crit is overvalued coz mono teams, physical and vape teams show insane amount of numbers and faster clears with it. Meanwhile EM is useless on some of these teams or not needed as much. Most reaction based teams dont even go for that much EM on their main stat artifacts, only as sub stats because of everyone needing more ER for them to actually have a smoother rotation. Even theorycrafters cant say whats the correct amount of EM for a character needs besides vv em supports, because they need to consider what the is team first, the ratios, and the energy requirements to make the team function.

It's definitely true to balance your stats instead of only looking for CV only . My hutao have 3 crit rate circlet , one has 34 crit dmg only , one has 70EM sub stats and the other one has 40EM and some HP% . I tested multiple times and the best one is the one having both HP and EM even though when i equipped it my stats look less impressive compare to when i used the 34% crit dmg one

[@jonomate]

I love your comment on crit value. I think it is heavily over-hyped simply because it is only one dimension in the equation and maximising one dimension DOES NOT maximise the damage. Not only that, but crit is very difficult to maximise simply because you NEED to get two stats AND crit rate needs to be high enough to consistently crit. This is particularly true for characters that do one hit wonders. Allll that damage is being gambled on crit proccing, and if you don't crit, you "lose" on the damage. Compare that with atk% where the damage is guaranteed, is easier to come by in sub-stats, is only one stat, and is really needed in 4* off-field dps characters, atk% is very valuable.

[@tomatozombie135]

i always thought CV was a way to flex how good your artifacts were and how pleasing it was to look at, instead of how much damage the character actually does

[@RuneKatashima]

That's not really how any of that works, especially how you're looking at atk%. Here's a formula that works for all games that use multiplicative mathematical formula's for damage. Which is a lot of them. So it works here for Genshin. Let's say you have 3 stats. Attack, Crit, and DMG% Let's say you have 6 atk, 6 crit, and 6 dmg%, so 6x6x6=216 Take one from crit and give it to atk. 7x5x6=210. Whoa, it's smaller? Let's put all the eggs in one basket like you suggest; 10x2x6=120 Oof. The way math works is you get the highest number when you even them out. Genshin has many steps to this formula. Like 5, usually, and it'd be something like 5x5x5x5x5. So yeah it's not all about crit, but it's not all about atk either. Only character who cares about pure atk is Shenhe. You won't get very far without both. Yeah, it sounds bad to farm for two stats but for one that's why you start off with 50% Cdmg and two that Cdmg rolls such high numbers. Also, Crit rate has an actual limit while no other stat does. It's actually not that bad.

If you want the most damage just don't look at cv, em and er of the dps only, the artifact can be better or worse depending on your support.

CV was created to simplify the critchance vs crtdmg calculation as it is known 1:2 ratio is always the most optimal, which efectively means 1% of critchance equals 2% of crtdmg, so you can convert both into the same unit for simplicity, not the overall value of a build.

[@Giovanni-qu8rt]

Yes Aggravate crit and scale with DMG% and Char level/crits. I think the best way to balance things with elettro driver like yae and keqing will be the new artifact set that will give a lot of atk and Em at the same time.

[@iandakariann]

@@Giovanni-qu8rt that is very good to know... And omg.. so it's basically using both types of reaction calculations that's.... Crazy. Even still though, I'm thinking of how hu tao doesn't rely on atk% due to a horrible base atk. Not useless but EM or HP work so much better. So if a character's dmg is low wouldn't buffing it be less useful than buffing the EM side of the equation?

[@tristanmanalo6252]

Yes aggrevate reactions are like Vaporize and melt they crit

[@wellwellwell881]

Attack % will still be really important for any non-EM scaling character, less so for the EM scalers like Yae, but it's still better in some cases. I think it will depend on your artifacts and the rest of your comp, but generally you still want high attack and around 200-400 EM. It will have diminishing returns above 400 EM because you will sacrifice too much attack and crit stats at that point. Whether you get that 200-400 from other characters or artifacts will be account dependent. I don't have an Elegy for the End, for example, so I can't make use of that party buff. Sacrificing a support character's stats for the instructor's 4-pc set is one option to take. I might do this with Collei or Traveller. Sucrose is a great EM buffer with VV, though I'm not sure if the ~200EM is better than Kazuha's damage boost. It might be, since the dendro character would also gain some EM.

Can't say for certain until we properly play test and calc it. But stingless seems INSANELY good for aggrevate because of the EM substat and it's passive which both buffs her Aggrevate damage and motion value damage

[@Scythra]

Crit scales with motion value and aggravate reaction so, I think Harp is better. Unless you have god artifacts with Stringless.

[@BarQ__]

dude i have the same question too!

[@rewer]

Aggravate benefit more from crit, so you should choose harp

[@uranursm9854]

my guess is they would be about the same for aggravate teams with some slight edge over Stringless. If you compare the stats they give they are equivalent to an extra goblet or circlet. 48% Skill dmg on Stringless vs 46.6% dmg on goblet when all of Fischl relevant dmg portions are skill dmg and 22% CR + 20% CD on Stringless equals to 64 crit value vs a 62 crit value on a circlet. However its better opportunity cost wise to pick dmg% over crit stats because dmg% is a rare stats. You can farm like 200 cv then a 64 cv gain would just be a 30% stats gain while gaining 48% dmg when you have only 60% is a 80% stats gain. The only difference left is the base attack, this is where stringless EM subs stats come in and Aggravate would convert those EM stats into talent dmg to make up on the base attack

The problem when say who is better is you need a second better because abyss needs 2 teams.

[@darkomiku8902]

Does aggravate activates stringless' dmg bonus passive ? Because if not then ATK% is just better on Fischl. EM is just a bonus.

[@Jannick260]

Howmuch EM would be a good point to be aiming at for an aggravate Cyno? Let's say his passive would be around 0.1% DMG increase to his elemental skill.

is shogun gonna do more damage in an aggravate team (including em buffs for example like the 4 piece 4 star instructor test ) than hypercarry ? If so . Should kujou sara be replaced by fichel or keep both at the expense of a teammate?

[@F1rstWorldNomaD]

I tried Raiden+Miko+Fichel with Dendro Traveler as on field DPS. It wasnt the best team imaginable mainly due to complications with optimal uptimes (and my Traveler being a little bit under developed) but it was actually viable, strong enough to clear abyss, and it was funny as hell, lightning EVERYWHERE xD The team also dont have shields or heal but you tend to either stun lock the enemy or just kill them so fast its not that big of an issue. For the bigger mobs, the food belt and dodging were quite enough to make it fairly comfortable. Dont get me wrong, Im not recommending this team as a permanent line up. But if youre bored and wanna mix it up a little for some fun, this was actually quite entertaining for longer than it probably shouldve been xD. Maybe its just me lol

[@larungbatojutsu2427]

My xiao has 102/186 crit ratio, the only character i capped a crit rate without even trying. It makes me wanna try to pull for homa just for the sake of him.

[@crosz1114]

Does 4 Thundersoother Keqing works in Aggravate teams?

[@alpalmaster8705]

Question how manny charges does agrivate have before the dmg boost ends and is kazuha burst with elecktro infusion enough aggrivate for raiden hyprecarry where you replace sara with dendro. Another thing is if you trigger aggrivate with kazuha and then immediatley after trigger aggrivate with shogun, will the dmg increase be based on kazuhas or raidens em?

how is aggravate work? is it going to be a character buff or enemy debuff? or.. the mechanic gonna be just like mona's omen?

I'd really like to know which chars will use the new Gilded Dreams set? I'm espescially interested in Xiangling, Fischl and maybe Hu Tao?

[@iprfenix]

Gilded Dreams is a hard no for Xiangling. With 170ER and Bennett burst Emblem gives 17% more non-vape Pyronado dmg, 6.3% more vaped Pyronado dmg, 17% less overload damage. Vape + Overload Emblem was still 0.1% ahead but you lose the 20% ER. Hu Tao is a toss-up. Vaped charge attack with Crimson Witch was 1.1% ahead of Gilded. So use which ever you get the best sub-stats on. Fischl no clue.

[@kili3117]

@@iprfenix Thanks, thats an answer with which one can work. Fischl I guess will depend on how aggravate works, maybe it's a tossup between em and atk substats and you just dont care which you get. Yae might enjoy more em though and maybe that finally gives her a niche in which seh's playable...

will Yae and Fischl on Aggravate team be using the new em set or the set I could prefarm? If I can prefarm it what set should I go for for each characters.

[@bloody4558]

Thank you for your input on Tighnari, Collei and Dendro Traveller, I can see uses for all three of them now. I needed a Main DPS archer so I'm still pulling for Tighnari(I was originally going to pull for Yoimiya but I managed to get her in my alt account so she's no longer priority on my main account). I hope he is good in Hyperbloom teams as I envision him being good at it. So which hydro unit would be good to complete this team?

[@hatakekakashi3228]

Here's your choices : Ayato, Kokomi, Xingqiu, Mona,

[@zephskiee5395]

no, don't pull for Tighnari. not that he sucks and you should not pull, but he will be in standard banner after 3.0

[@dimpejogja]

@@zephskiee5395 is this "you get free ayaka at ar42" all over again?

[@neil5694]

@@dimpejogja Could be. But at the time, Ayaka joing the standard banner/being free was a community joke. This one seems to be a real leak. I'd still pull on the banner regardless of the leaks being real or not.

[@akamistify]

@@zephskiee5395 just because he potentially might be on standard doesn’t mean you’ll get him. I’ve been playing since launch and still don’t have keqing. I’d recommend to still go for it regardless, and if they do get him, free cons
