[@maia5034]

I do note that Shintenzu’s Furina is only C3, as opposed to IWTLG’s C6 Furina. Since C5 is a decent increase to her damage, that might be a factor as to why Xiao’s team finished abyss 12 slightly slower than the other two teams.

[@schopenhauer5427]

Cope

[@konokhda]

I feel like it wouldn't change that much since all enemies die in like 10 seconds, Furina's e really doesn't even get to do any significant damage in that short of a dps window, so a extra 3 levels on Furina's e wouldn't really be a game changer, plus since Furina is mainly single target, if one enemy dies too quickly it might affect Xiao's C6

[@cosmicarmor2426]

@schopenhauer5427 Nah, you just don't like facts. It's good to point stuff like that out. Shin is also like 220cv.

[@NothingMeansNothingButNothing]

​​@@cosmicarmor2426 that's not even facts until you prove it. I don't think that few % will make a big difference in already short time. Furina shines in DPS, but she can't put all her potential damage that fast so those additional % won't matter in most situations where you need to burst out your damage

[@RecordToDeathToBoredom]

When Xianyun is able to 2 shot most enemies, I doubt Furina's 27k damage matters compared to Xianyun's 500k plunge attacks lol

kazuha is still the god of anemo buffing

[@Panster7]

He's still GOAT at pretty much everything else though.

[@milkyy4168]

He won in the abyss 12 run! His kit’s surprisingly well made for this lol

[@joshisnothere3696]

You also have to realize that DPS Kazuha's best team is Pyro Kazuha with C6 Bennett, Furina, and Xianyun. When he lets go of his anemo element and becomes pyro, he is easily a stronger DPS than Xiao or Xianyun. This video was comparing his weakest DPS build, not his best :)

[@skypie427]

Well i can say that Furina was a huge buff to Dehya so like benny kazuha and furina would be the best Dehya team probably

[@Rodzario]

​@@skypie427 yes, I use that team, but it kinda need C6 Bennett so your Dehya can use their basic atk to deal pyro damage too while the burst is not ready. By far my best team for Dehya I believe, but of course, its still can't beat the other top team, its just a good team for Dehya

[@LastDreamy]

I pulled Xianyun for her character and for a Hu Tao support. Ended up surprisingly using her as my main DPS, rarely have had this much fun in abyss and overworld before. The fact she stacks Yae's weapon with her skill is bonkers. Xianyun / Zhongli / Faruzan (C6) / Furina has been such a crazy blast, i adore her. I slapped my Wanderer's Pavilion set on her for that plunge dmg % lmao.

[@soharbennett8079]

I love Xianyun so much, this made me very happy to see

[@Ben-yf8vc]

Xiao constellation rework ideea: C1- stay the same C2-(similar to c4 gaming) every 2 plunges, xiao gets some energy back (idk how much tho) C3-increase normal attack level instead of skill C4-when xiao falls belox 50% hp increase ATK by 50% (probably higher or lower, idk exactly) C5-stay the same C6-the same but in single target situation make his normal attack mattter (bc he has some of the best normal attack animation)

[@kename1280]

I like most of it but I think having a +3 to his skill and normal is better.

[@matheuscruz3666]

C6 could be "increases the plunge speed when hitting an enemy with the same plunge atk as it was in the beta"

[@felixonline1825]

His c4 would be useless for anything but solo runs since Xianyun alone would keep him almost at 100% hp all the time. Something else would be more beneficial. While dmg% from burst talents would matter with Xianyun I would say making his c5 skill dmg instead to still have his c6 stay relevant (I believe he would rather have that) Also I would rework his c6 to something like... every 2 plunges he gets to use his skill for free for 3 seconds, something like that and it resets after 2 plunges again

@@god9303 never said it was their fault. A creator who quite literally says at the beginning of his video to not judge these characters strength based on his content, but that’s what y’all do. Stop fooling yourself, Xiao literally needs high investment to perform well, just not c6. This video is a demonstration of how strong xiao is, not his weakness, a c0 xiao with c3 furina almost beat a c6 xianyun with op cons and c6 furina and only like 3% of people will have c6 of any 5 star. The difference was 3 seconds. Let’s be realistic here, had they all been c0 xiao would’ve done the same. Xianyun and kazuha would’ve took thrice as long

[@GladiusCC]

For people who’s wondering why these c6 Kazuha showcases use jadecutter instead of Mistsplitter. The biggest part of mistsplitter’s bonus (stackable portion) only buffs Anemo DMG. (Wearer’s element). The highest dmg possible for a whale Kazuha is pyro plunges, which makes Jadecutter the superior weapon.

[@ukenjip5682]

Xianyun wasn’t first only bc she was busy helping xiao and kazuha in their runs

[@Gennosuke1983]

Exactly lol, I can understand using a full team to help the showcased characters, because that's how we play Genshin, with 4 characters. But using the character from the showcase to literally carry both of the others is dumb in my opinion. Kazuha does literally nothing in the Abyss run, Bennett gives him Pyro infusion and attack buff, Furina gives him Hydro application for Vape and a 80% damage buff and Xianyun gives him infinite plunges and plunge buff. You can literally use any other melee character instead of Kazuha and get the same or probably better results. The Abyss competition made zero sense

[@GenshinYuppe]

Aw. that 12-1-1 time is 2 seconds faster than we could do with noelle when we tried the other day. 4 seconds faster than mine because i don't have zhongli cons to stop the robots from slowing me and my furina is only c2.

Only used for combat events that gave a huge plunge dmg bonus, but now I am running a mdps Xianyun :D

[@ednatopg3074]

Since you said plunging done right, in case you care about damage more than playstyle, c0 xiao has higher dpr and dps than c5 xianyun and even at c6 xianyun their dps is close. Only in this video did she win by 3 seconds because it’s her dedicated abyss and she had c6 furina whereas xiao had c3 furina. If you want to see plunging done right in terms of damage, xiao is still far superior

Alternatively, the takeaway here is that it takes C6 to make a support character competitive to a DPS. We all know how small of a DPS increase Xiao gets from cons. He could be C0 here, and we'd just add maybe 10 seconds to his times.
