What are you looking for in a new shielder in WuWa? I'd love a new 5* shielder who can give similar buffs to Verina or Baizhi with a shield and off-field damage that scales off HP. I'm thinking Yuanwu SuperMAX.

[@ngasalaja2839]

Well you don't need a shielder either if that's the case

[@kyori75]

I think the main reason why shielders is not as popular because (to most players) shielders need time if not a long time to get their shield up, and if they get a heavy hit during that time, the shield is gone and have to start from 0 again. The arguement of knowing when to setup shield or enemy movement(tricky if many enemy mobs present) is not so valid because if every players know those well, they can surely just use 1 character solo all the way. So yes, be it using a healer or a shielder, knowing the game better definitely helps more than just siding with one or the other.

[@BladeSerph]

@@qwertysysysyysysysyzzgrouping enemies is still good to save time and unlike yangyang, she has a faster flow in and a dmg buff perfect for plenty of main dps options including f welfare picks.

RIP that also is utterly fked by a lack of good rotation to get thru his energy since he often fks up his E skill to basic rotation for full gauge and can fk up on going into mist form if your not perfectly lined up. Plus unlike many good welfare sub dps his last waveband ain’t a team buff but a useless dmg buff to only himself where his kit implied to use him as a sub dps but lacks the damn coordinated attacks to use him as well as morfeti.

Though taoqi also doesn’t give a team support waveband, she gets a nice outro skill and scaling off defense gives her some fantastic quirks, on top of her resonance skill being a party share’able damage reduction benefit.

[@MarionFR]

Please... game is NOT about repeating rotations calculated by Excel Impact players who call themselves theorycrafters. Look how characters work in practice. It doesn't matter that they take more time on-field, when during that time they can be more helpful with parrying or crowd control. As for the last - not only Jianxin, Taoqi can fairly easily push and stagger whole group of enemies. They can also dish out not little damage. They just need more investment for it, especially Taoqi - she very much needs high character level, when players will be reaching max levels then Taoqi's value will rise much, she is a late bloomer.

[@sotruwu]

@@MarionFR nah bro taoqi is just ass

[@haruusami1831]

Adding on MarionFR comment about spreadsheet, spreadsheet are only good if a game mode etc requires you a DMG/Stats check and you don't have alot of resourrces to level up all char. the same. For example i like playing Jinhsi with Yuanwu and Yangyang (both S6 not level 80) because i want to onfield Jinhsi more, this team is basically QTE composition. half of the time Yangyang is onfield to trigger concerto for Jinhsi repeat till she has full forte, its actually fun to simply press the Skill after Intro instant combo, Yuanwu just putting down lightning rod,and triggering heal for bellborne buff,shield but this composition barely clears the last spectro tower (in 3min mark) so i needed to play Taoqi for that Resonance Skill buff. In short all im saying is you can take advantage of some char. good intro/outro buff (especially if you got some 4 star that is S6) adding you can build the char with right echo or weapon, ex. if you plan Taoqi to be just a support buffer for that good Resonance Skill buff doesn't matter if she requires more onfield as the trade is good for other char. that has nuke skills ex. Jinhsi, then build Taoqi with Concerto regen. Put 3*3 echo with Energy Regen and slap a Discord weapon on her and if you got a Discord weap that has 5 dupes feed into it, it gives big concerto regen when you skill, so yeah, if the resources isn't very limited i definitely would want to experiment on team composition that isn't meta but rather feel pretty good to play than focusing on DMG per screenshot.

[@progrockplaylists]

3:30 1. that is an unlikely optimal scenario 2. not only the shield wouldnt last but i cant even proc it. i am attacked by the time the long animation finishes if you are at low hp. you can completely heal up, with a shielder youll are constantly at low hp

[@saintontas]

Jianxin was the only slightly built shielder in this video. Taoqi is level 40 and Yuanwu didn't have an echo set equipped (you can see he has no echo skill). If you're running the Yuanwu/Taoqi/Jinhsi team (I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT), you'll want Yuanwu on Rejuvenating Glow and a Moonlit Clouds on Taoqi for maximum effectiveness!

Nah, shields are bad in Wutheing. They offer no interruption resistance and take too long to set up. Healers are better in every single scenario.

Most players spend their time in the over world where you might take dmg from random sources. Having a healer to bring everything back to 100 is so good for long term sustainability for exploration.

Also, tank characters can't directly provide you the shield instead they take a few seconds of field time to give you the shield. Like taoqi needs to do an intro followed by 3 BA.

I agree with this 100%. Shielders are more valuable than healers. Even if your Verina has the best echoes, she can't help you from getting killed in one hit. It just so happens that the healers right now have better damage amplification than the shielders, and require lesser field time.

[@EkkoNii]

sheilding is good but jianxin takes 10 sec field time instead of verina's 4 secs thats why your rotations are too slow resulting is way less dps, i tried calcharo jianxin sanhua it took 144 secs to beat the morning anix in TOA vs with calcharo sanhua verina takes around 110 secs its not that its bad its just way less dps

I've just recently 30/30'd the Tower. The Hazard Tower was done with S0 Verina, S0/R1 Jinhsi and S3 Havor Rover. For almost every other chamber, I had no characters that classified as a support. The only exception being Jianxin, whom I used more for her crowd control than her shield, because it allowed me to group multiple enemies with ease, making aoe damage more effective. She's also severely underinvested, a bad pair of gauntlets (I still don't have Marcato) at 60, only lvl 70 despite my being UL 57, missing the top 4 passive stat buffs, and level 5 skills. Baizhi, Taoqi and Yuanwu are lvl 20 still. I'm also not really a whale, as my only 5 star cons are on Calcharo S1(I lost Jiyan 50/50 to the only Standard character I owned from beginner banner. And S1 Yinlin, which was a super lucky double 5 star in a single 10 pull, winning both 50/50. Neither of which are particularly game breaking sequences. In total, I only even used 8 characters. Calcharo, Yinlin, Jiyan, Verina, Jinhsi, Jianxin, Chixia and Havoc Rover.

[@henry-ex1pg]

i use a s0 jianxin for jinhsi and yinlin because of her shield and heal

[@winkythepooh]

its just there's no great shielder within the game yet. Jianxin took a lot of time to up most of her shields which leads to dps loss and could be cancelled half way by some bosses or off set by getting a huge hit while charging. Yuanwu needs S4 to unlock the shield + slow concerto energy regen Taoqi is a very clanky character to use specially against high mobility enemies. she slows down the rotations by a lot which also leads to dps loss. if ever we get someone like verina but does shielding instead of healing it'll be a very good unit or could be even better for most characters. specially when the shields is based on max hp which could be boost with food buffs.

If maybe his e skill spam wasn’t so necessary for rotations and either require far less presses or so on, then he could still be stonks as his beta ver.

[@flipside9608]

In games, damage reduction and prevention has always been more favourable later on in game cycles. Look at Genshin and Honkai Star Rail. Healers were valued higher early on, because of how easy they were to use for their investment levels. As games and mechanics progressed, damage reduction and prevention became more prominent as enemy damage had begun to rise. In timed content, shields hold higher value as they will let you tank attacks rather than waste time avoiding them.

[@sotruwu]

Massive misunderstanding here is that no one picks Verina for heals. She is a buffer. A far more efficient buffer than any1 in the game (team wide buffs + short on-field duration). Just cause Taoqi gives a higher screenshot number doesn't make her better Shields won't be valuable in this game unless: 1. You have skill issue 2. we get a shielder that buffs AND provides anti-interruption. this would be broken. (Currently only Yuanwu provides team wide anti-interruption + shields, but has no team outro buff) shields mean nothing if you get staggered as you're at a dps loss for not dodging anyways. End of the day none of this matters as the game is not difficult enough for it too. Once ppl level cap the challenge that the game currently poses will be non existent

[@dominantgorilla9274]

This game is like genshin on that point shields have always been better in genshin since you don't get interrupted during your dmg rotation since you don't need to dodge with a shield

[@SsabirR69]

Nah, it's nothing like Genshin and healers here are currently better than shielders

[@daisukeshinji4061]

I think the worst part about shields is that you can still get knock backed by the enemy. At least for me. The value a shield grants is good but I still have to dodge attacks in order to keep attacking. So when I have to dodge anyway I take the healer + RG-echo set, get the buffs and if I get hit, I will heal myself back up. The only character who can provide both is Jianxin and I really like her (her game play is good as well:) ). I know what you are trying to say and I agree at some point but in reality I think its pretty hard to really benefit completely from it. Games like Genshin did it better in my opinion where a shield lets you tank damage but also prevents you from getting knock backed (I don't want a Zhongli shield to tank every hit, however for the hits the shield is able to tank I should get the resistance to interruption).

[@MarionFR]

Your comparison to Genshin is missed. Thing about combining shields with interruption resistance is - that just makes shields waaaaay better than healing. Look how much they did to bring the balance - shielders provide very little in comparison to healers, putting sustain aside. And... that was still not enough! Look how they were constantly making healing needed and better - by adding HP draining which ignores shields, enemies spawning shields if you have a shield... artifacts for healers, finally - Furina... Conclusion - you are wrong, shields designed like this are just broken, plus Genshin is a much different game at the end of the day. But you do have some point about shields in WuWa. I would say - maybe they could provide interruption res limited to one - three hits, or... maybe we will be getting characters with interruption resistance and high synergy with shielders? Let's also not forget Yuanwu who is already a shielder with interruption resistance... Just on s4, I don't know how he works exactly.

[@daisukeshinji4061]

Yeah I should have specified it more, you are right. Genshin didnt made it perfectly as well. I just wanted to tell in which direction I wanted to go. I think something in between would be good. I would accept a Knock back when I get hit by a big hit, but at least let me fight against these normal human like dudes without having the fear that I fly away if I dont dodge. The shields also do not have to hit high numbers to tank for Days. And as you said, I really dont want a "Zhongli situation" where shields are just so much better than anything else. However for me heals in WuWa are just so much better and versatile than Shields atm that I dont consider using shields except for Jianxin who can do both. A resistance to interruption would be a huge step in the direction of balancing these features (Calcharo likes this). Other option would be simething like an echo-set which provides buffs by giving a shield (with the risk of losing it for example). At least thats what I think. And I do not want special characters (in the future) who can give the resistance. I do not like this kinda concept where some characters get favoured and some do not.

[@saintontas]

Taoqi/Yuanwu personally feels better to play for me than Yinlin/Verina. Taoqi can immediately generate her shield using her 3 Basics after an intro skill, and Jinhsi literally gives intro skills for free. I think it's far more reliable than you think.

​@@saintontas🧢, I've tried using Taoqi and dang she's very clunky to play, I much prefer Yuanwu+Verina. If only Taoqi as fun as she is in Illusive dream tho.

@@saintontasI think yuanwu is the one that makes you feel better, together yuanwu and verina can almost instantly refill jinhsi dragon puke

[@saintontas]

​@@sentryion3106Two coordinated attackers is pretty overkill and from my experience leads to overcapping on Jinhsi's forte bar. It's a good team though!

​@@saintontas It's not, Yuanwu and Verina has fast rotation (put Rejuvenating on Yuanwu), u can spam Full charge Puke with full Echo buff, u won't get overcharge if u already use it before it get full Ofc S6 has different strategy as they one hit boss with Taoqi buff instead needed 2 cycle to do that on ToA, but it will different story if enemy have 2-3x HP on ToA
