Nah bro you can only use firefly on one side so I’m so glad that solutions like this exist

[@RuriGoko]

Firefly is super comfortable indeed haha.

[@heyitsopnee4215]

HMC is like faruzan buffing like crazy

[@RuriGoko]

Finally !

[@Terrastrial]

Except hmc's kit isn't dogshit until c6 (I'm c5 faruzan)

[@cynicalducky1041]

Faruzan's kit is not dogshit until C6. Her C6 only gives her an increased Anemo crit damage taken on her burst. Even with her huge energy issues, people massively exaggerate her flaws. Because if you don't build energy recharge on her, what other stat are you gonna build??? Not to mention, there are plenty of weapons that help her with energy issues. The favonius bow for example. I will say that Faruzan is much more niche than HMC, as Faruzan can only be used with Xiao and Scaramouche/Wanderer. While HMC can be used with Luka, Sushang, Guinaifen, Firefly, Xueyi, Boothill or even any units with high enough break effect.

[@Mocchi-]

Too clean~ glad Hoyo graced us with this challenging new mode. Your rotations are super clean, everything is calculated and thought out very well! 🤩

"nothing much" *shows a 181 spd hanya"

[@RuriGoko]

I should have farm more hackerspace so I can replace with 168 ig. That was my 1.1 gear btw

[@AzuKaedeAK]

12:22 personally I save Xueyi's Ult so that I can use it when phase 2 starts, makes phase 2 a lot faster to break for me (in vid she also have 2 stacks, so with Ult +4 stacks she can also FUA for more toughness damage!)

[@RuriGoko]

I hate to say it. in my test run If I don't Ult, Hmc Hat throw will leave cocolia at 1% hp - which is an extreme pain, so pain that I want to go crit on Xueyi hahahahaha.

[@kalodawg8297]

Love your content and explanations!

[@RuriGoko]

Glad you love it!

[@biscy03]

Gosh, your explanations are amazing!! I understand this game mode & AV so much better now! Its really useful to understand when you want to try to push. Usually in MOC I always delay pushes (like Robin for example) till last minute to gain sp, but in this situation, it tends to be better to push when you need to avoid AV going down. I don't have much good relics or 4* eidolons, my luck there is quite bad, but understanding the mechanics makes it easier to know what I should do. I was able to brute force it with FF & Jingliu but its so amazing seeing how you do it.

[@RuriGoko]

Glad you like it! And yes in this game mode you just want to squeeze out every push and go as fast as possible!

[@WeiForever]

Perfect Sushang gameplay! I like how you kept one tower broken throughout the fight for Sushang's self spd buff 12:23 I guess you want to save av, because hmc can do about 5%, it would waste a lot more av if hmc didn't have enough dmg there

Do you think Luka would be an okay substitute for Sushang? By the way, your strategies are great! I can’t believe I didn’t find this channel sooner, you’re so good at this game!

[@RuriGoko]

Luka is not really a substitute. But if you don’t have good gear on sushang or she is undertraced, pair sushang with Luka (remove hanya) is the best way to play here.

[@ogbobbyjohnson3502]

All the good clears I’ve seen are people with 160+ speed on each support unit should I replace all my gear just to get that?

[@RuriGoko]

You should. In fact it should be a recommendation for new player on every single support. The reason behind this is, MoC12 which is arguably the hardest content in this game, they have a mean speed at 158 , and since 160 speed will grant you 1 extra movement within 3-4 cycles it synergize greatly if you can build that. Rainbow or broken set is fine.

[@ArisuHonkai]

For low investment yes. both relics and Eidolon / 5* usage. You can compare my Xueyi clear to crit one with no 5* support, it's the same. For High investment on support, crit still give you the best result due to how her damage scaling works (she deal more crit than break actually.)

I did Dr Ratio, Robin, Topaz and Aventurine on Argenti fight all E0S0 and got 1308 points. Robin additional dmg really helps each character break their respective statue. Sadly you will be wasting quite a bit of time and taking massive dmg on the way though its crazy full buffed Argenti taking out 2-3k shields in one hit. Do you have any multi target characters that can do it like DHIl, Jingliu, Argenti, Clara, Acheron to do this with? Boothill is also good here.

You can copy the same exact team but replace sus with ratio, it will somewhat works. actually you can even follow the exact same rotation. if you can't do hanya - use luka instead and use him to break argenti.
