Rejoice diluc mains, we finally got a 5 star crit Stat claymore with a useful passive for diluc after 2 years of playing the game.

[@Devilboy_1029]

It also pairs well with his C2. This is Diluc's BIS lmao

[@simonditomasso9868]

Isnt serpent spine cheaper and similar?

[@Daniel-ru8je]

​@@simonditomasso9868 its the opposite. Since with that you lose dmg when you get hit, with this you gain atk when you get hit

How does it compare against Lord of the Seas? My Dilucs crit rate is already good and the weapons atk% bonus increases my Dilucs atk a good amount.

[@wyteknight8231]

6:52 Moga running around electro crystals while at such low hp, gave me anxiety

[@katshuma]

I find it crazy that Moga is low on the Eremite drops when if you just explore every area, you get a 1000+ of them.

[@skumnutsnewwife]

True i have over 2k

[@marley7659]

A lot of sumeru characters use the eremite drops. Faruzan, Dehya, Dori, Althaitham, Candace. Also weapons use them as well. It goes quick once you take those 1000 grey mats and craft them into blue’s.

[@someone.s_grandma]

He raised a lot of units so yeah

[@Flaruwu]

Lots of units and weapons use it, they drop the same amount as samurai it's not great.

[@inferno1738]

Ikr. I have dehya and I use them for my paramatic thingy and I still have over 500

[@JDavi-nl1rc]

This would be such a banger if it moved to the standart poll alongslide Dehya. Losing 50/50 to it wouldn't be that painful if you have literally any claymore user that can take advantage of it. And the HP bonus unshielded is actually nice in a QoL perspective, HP is not as useless as DEF on ATK scaling characters since it's a guaranteed improvement on your character's capability to tank more damage. I would love to get it and swap out of the blackcliff slasher on my Itto, but I'm not spending my primos in a weapon banner when Baizhu and Kaveh are right next corner :/

[@sensibleDuck893]

This Claymore has the highest pull value of all Claymores. Has good base atk good crit rate gives atk bonus and makes your dps more tanky

[@sweetieswifey627]

Yep

[@phelan1201]

It's really good on Eula, both the passives work on her really well and it finally frees her from needing Zhongli in her team at all times. The extra atk in my experience makes up for the loss of his shred, and hopefully the new support coming out will let me crank her damage higher.

[@ClayMatu]

The only reason to use eula with zhongli is if you have the unforged tbh (plus spine which you just mentioned later my bad forgot that weapon existed). Otherwise you never needed him since she can't be interrupted in her ult stance. Even qiqi with ocean hue could fit her team just as well cause of the extra off field damage. Yeah this weapon is good cause it compliments her crit damage stat letting you balance her stats easier. If you already have a good crit ratio though, it is still weaker than wgs with passive as well as broken pines cause of how much attack and the direct phys buffs each weapon gives respectively. I would say it falls under the "if you have any 1 of these 3 weapons no need to get the other two for eula" umbrella.

[@phelan1201]

@@ClayMatu eh she still appreciates the resistance shred he gives you, and if you're using serpent spine like I was, you need the shield for that

[@escapetherace1943]

@@phelan1201 Im pulling for Eula and of course I got a Wolf's Gravestone in the last banner. Yet I get my serpent spine to r5 this patch, and I heard r5 serpent is actually slightly better than gravestone on Eula... now I'm gonna cry because wolf's gravestone looks nice

[@ClayMatu]

@@escapetherace1943 You can go to "genshin optimizer" and use it to test your build with gravestone and spine and your artifacts. But that's just one more claymore for another dps so it's fine.

[@phelan1201]

[@DoeJam13]

I feel like the HP buff will disappear from Itto quickly, since he is more likely to create a Crystalize reaction.

[@jordanmiller1629]

Still wild that you don’t have the eremite enemy drops when they are all over sumeru. Really shows how behind you are on exploring lol

[@BlackPointt]

yeh he is just overall barely exploring the map cuz i have tons of materials....

[@JJennerUK]

I've got 100% on all areas, and I literally ran out of the Blindfolds. Every single sumeru unit needs them and raising them all takes a lot

[@some_trashcan]

He does have to farm alot of these for multiple characters and weapons so it would make sense that he barely has any (Moga prolly also doesnt farm mats when they arent needed)

[@jordanmiller1629]

I didn’t post this to get a rise out of people, just surprised that someone who’s channel/job is content of this game hasn’t played the game, ya know. Like I’ve been watching Moga’s Genshin videos since the beginning

[@BlackPointt]

@@jordanmiller1629 exactly you would think he would do more often some farm routes since he is always low on resources so by now he should have learn his lesson sorta cuz he gonna need em again more once new characters come out

[@AsterTopaz]

The sort of combat style the Bacon Paddle promotes when used on-field synergizes well with C2+ Diluc since he has his own buff with a similar trigger. Having said that, Diluc is also fully compatible with a shield-based composition since his C2 buff doesn't require him to take damage, he just needs to be hit. Edit: If the Bacon Paddle is given to an on-field character (like Diluc), Dehya can make excellent use of The Bell! Dehya would have to be active for one damage tick to trigger The Bell's shield, but the shield will keep working off-field and absorb damage from Redmane's Blood without interfering with the Bacon Paddle's passive.

[@sb18wlc]

Tested it on Eula and it's probably the best in terms of consitency. The weapon's passive scales well with her need of attack and C.Rate so you can have high C.Rate C.Dmg and Atk, It's hard to juggle those 3 together with other claymores.

[@ei_ko]

Reed sea is actually good on Eula! Since she uses her skill often (twice every rotation or more if you're trying to get energy, before burst and after burst), it both gives crit rate and also atk which is valuable for eula. The base attack is fine so it's a pretty good weapon :)

[@TheJasperMage]

I summoned a beacon just for diluc because it synagises with him so well ^__^

[@tartaglicious]

dehya might not be the best but goddamn that claymore is a MONSTER

[@samhawk4025]

Who?

[@tartaglicious]

@@samhawk4025 Dehya, the new character

[@Matt_82]

i think you can get the two passives on a beidou parry and snapshot the buff on the ult, the hp buff might go to her shield too.

[@ClayMatu]

It would work very well with eula cause it balances her crit stats easier and her best teams would involve Not using a shield anyway (cough new unit cough) so she gets the attack buff also. But if you already have a good crit ratio plus either wgs, unforged, song of broken pines, then you don't need this weapon on her cause it's actually weaker in that scenario. It's just added to the pool of "if you have this weapon, then don't pull this weapon" for eula where any of the 4 count.

[@ScallionGaming]

I remember that Diluc's c2 has similar effect when if he takes damage it gives him a buff, but... it actually works even with shield! I wonder if attack buff on Beacon have similar thing. If that's the case, then it's actually very solid general purpose claymore.

[@joaoaugusto8941]

“Those purple materials are such a scam *still buys everything*

[@Reytomarz]

Another great moga video 😌❤️

[@dreimations9627]

As a chongyun main, i really do think this weapon works for him very well, this is based on my experience using the weapon on him, he's been able to do more damage and now i can put Zhongli with Ganyu in the Spiral Abyss

[@KiroTheHero]

Moga. In Diluc TCs, Redhorn is considered Diluc's BiS at the moment. Ideally you want to use a crit damage circlet with Redhorn to make the most out of it. So ideally you'd want 250-270 cd+

[@ArnoldFrost]

Doesn't the spreadsheet consider Bennett buffs? Outside of Itto and Noelle (and a futute Quicken-oriented Claymore user) Redhorn gimps team flexibility despite having a higher ceiling, so performance floor is significantly lower and less consistent

[@KiroTheHero]

@@ArnoldFrost It's not inconsistent. By in large, you always want to use Diluc with Bennet. He is dependant on him to reach his full potential. Even in Bennetless teams, Redhorn is still competitive with inactive WGS due to the large CD it gives and you can optimise your stats to get more attack.

[@dub2459]

I got it on my Itto now he has 100% crit rate and it look great on him.

[@chillpenguin7679]

Mmmm.... Bacon of the Reed Sea... You can keep your bacon sword. I'll stick with the wolf's headstone

[@yellowfoot273]

Just a side note, stonethresher doesn't give normal attack damage, it just gives normal attacks defense scaling

[@ProfHUN12]

heres a tip for eremite farming there are some walking around the desert they have these big beasts with them. kill the beasts with the eremite coloring on them and then they drop alot i got 5O blue from 2 hours of farming

[@dankmemes7729]

2 hrs??

[@silkwind7618]

You only use Dori if you don't have Raiden Shogun. Her main role is a battery for your on-field DPS, she works wonders with my Cyno. She can also proc aggravate a lot if you position her Genie behind your enemy.

[@wizzy7755]

As of the current meta. The flower claymore is diluc's BiS 4 star weapon because its EM sub stat and diluc already has two meta teams that needs EM (Reverse vaporize and retriburgeon) Beacon is his BiS 5 star weapon since its a 60% Atk increase from passive and w/ pyro resonance, you can get an 80% something atk increase overall which makes it easier to reach 2k+ base atk so you can use an EM sands instead. Since its substat is crit rate, you can easily get 200% crit dmg. Oh and if youre using retriburgeon team, its easier to proc his c2 passive and the 60% atk% increase from beacon. WGS is still a great contender BUT its hard to get a good crit ratio to balance out the huge atk% increase it gives. It took me 2 yrs to get a 68 crit rate and 200 crit ratio for diluc's CWF artifact set w/ WGS

[@pauljoseph3081]

Im a razor main with him 10/10/10 and using the unforged. Pulled the reed sea to try a crit dmg phys build. Over all unforged still out damaged it. I have it on Itto currently. Does its job well. Though if you building phys character with zhongli unforged best then gravestone. Would definitely say that you wont regret pulling it tho.

[@kronkdonkus7288]

Beidou is a great candidate for this weapon. Its passive matches her elemental skill which involves taking damage to inflict heavy damage.

[@nobody-xh6ii]

I put the Reed on my sayu. I did have a question. Sayu's healing scales on atk%. If you use her E skill does the atk% bonus boost her healing during it? If you do reaction then activate burst, does the atk% boost increase the brush healing as well?

[@eclliippse]

Well half of the weapon banner pulls are done by Eula mains, cause it's her BiS claymore (situationally), and helps her maintaining her crit ratios

[@eclliippse]

@lukxx. Yes she does, but this provides crit rate, which makes it easier to use Crit dmg circlet, and atk is compensated by Bennett, so situationally it is better than that. Now if you include Mika too, the gap will become less noticeable, since Mika also provides Atk speed and Phys dmg bonus

[@cringelord9341]
