Navia teaches an interesting lesson about Bennett.

[@mr.parker8014]

I understood what you were saying cuz I'm familiar with the game math, but I don't think I heard you put much emphasis/clarification on diminishing returns. Explaining that more could help newer players understand how to build other teams/characters differently I personally LOVE my Furina Yelan Navia Noelle team. It has so much common damage bonus, I've used genshin optimizer to confirm that every single one of them would rather have an atk/def/hp goblet than a damage percent one. This is of course with some artifact limitations on my account, but it's definitely true for the best invested ones as well

[@Axterix13]

That's because that stuff doesn't have diminishing returns. If 20% attack adds 1k damage, then 20% more will add another 1k. That's a flat return. What does happen, due to how atk%, DMG, and CrD interact, is changes in the opportunity cost. So we really should be discussing IOC (increased opportunity cost), where, due to raising attack, DMG and CrD now have more value than they did before, and so you might want to shift focus due to that.

[@Solunerra]

Ty for the comment, may actually pin it lol. Most of the time when the community calls stuff diminishing returns its not actually diminishing returns. Which is why I avoid using the term. What I was talking about with the relative value of atk% with and without Bennett actually IS what most of the community calls diminishing returns (which it isnt). The community basically uses the term as a catch all to describe when you could be better served by getting more of another stat vs going too much into just one stat. So I try to make sure I describe things by how they increase your damage a set amount (most scaling in the game is linear), but the relative value you gain from the baseline changes depending on what other stats you have from other things. Because you have multiple linear scalings going on for different stats in the games damage calculation, there are breakpoints that mean different stats have different relative values to each other (but not unto themselves) Genshin DOES have one thing that does have actual diminishing returns on its scaling, by the way, which is EM scaling for transformative reactions dmg calculation. There is a falloff such that you can see less of a dmg increase per extra point of EM you have. Which is to say EM’s value changes relative to ITSELF, which is real diminishing returns. Its not linear. Eg you get significantly less of a dmg increase from 200 em for hyperbloom dmg going from 1000->1200 em as you do 800->1000. Atk, dmg%, and crit are all linear in comparison. If there wasnt anything in the game that actually had diminishing scaling Id be less concerned about calling relative stat values “diminishing.” I do think its fine to specifically say something like “dmg% has diminishing returns relative to atk% in [insert context]”, but I also think that using diminishing along with “relative” is pointless since just “relative” communicates the same idea on its own, and makes it more confusing to talk about EM (which actually has both non diminishing and diminishing returns depending on the reaction lol) and its relationship to elemental reactions (imo by far the most relevant mechanics in the game) But anyways, you are absolutely correct that with the options for saturating dmg% available to us now there are many times where non element% goblets can be worse stat for stat. Most of the time element% is still better, but especially with the 5.0 artifacts it will be more an more common that they are worse. Thats actually the same thing I actually talked about with atk% in this video btw, wherein its due to the relative values of different stats from the baseline, not because there is actually falloff in the scaling of dmg%.

@@Axterix13 yes, I like the idea of IOC too. A good way to look at it as well

[@mr.parker8014]

@@Solunerra oh, I didn't realize diminishing returns referred to a hard built-in reduction of the value of something like EM. If you'd still like to pin my comment for newer players, should I change my wording to "increased opportunity cost" as someone else said?

[@Zecuto]

Navia's shrapnel hits very inconsistently, so you might have done everything right and missed some shrapnels leading to a smaller number. It's preferable to rely on an auto targeting with her (tap skill instead of hold skill), at least in a situation where you have a single enemy close by. If you want to hit multiple enemies it's better to manual, but still keep in mind results will vary from shot to shot.

[@Solunerra]

Good to know

[@Axterix13]

It is pretty consistent, provided you aim well enough (so probably easier on PC than mobile). But yeah, I agree that tapping is the way to go for a single enemy. It's also what you want to do for the first shot, typically, as the hold E vacuums in any crystals, which, if you are doing 2 Es within a short time frame, you'll want for the second shot. Of course, if you lack ammo, then hold E even on the first to gather them crystals.

[@persephonehades7547]

It's interesting that you brought up the example of Arlecchino having Bennett versus Navia since I don't run Bennett with either of them. I find both of their scalings are so high that Bennett either feels like overkill or waste, but that comes with Zhongli as a caveat. I use him in both of their teams for easy shred and tenacity, and for Navia specifically the geo resonance. Almost every unit that came out in Fontaine, with the exception of Wriothesley and Lyney didn't need to have Bennett with them, which was nice. For reference of the teams I do use, for anyone curious: Navia (Wolf's Gravestone), Miko, Fischl, Zhongli Arlecchino (I switch between Jade Spear and White Tassel but there isn't that big of a difference), Noblesse Mona, Xingqiu, Zhongli (Layla can be a replacement, but she near guarantees I need to use Jade Spear)

[@neo.3]

one of my favourite recent videos from you. i have a few additional pointers to share: 1. kachina with the new support set coming soon in 5.0 will be valuable for navia (she's doing almost nothing without said set, it's a must), likely competitive with c0 chiori. if you absolutely die-hard NEED bennett on the other side (e.g. childe or lyney, who have very poor synergy with other buffers like yelan and furina), you can run something like kachina + furina + xianyun/kokomi with navia. 2. in general, niche supports should not be overlooked that much because the value of freeing up your other supports for the other side in abyss is very high as long as you need that freeing up. if bennett is unavailable, but for example you have shenhe to go with wriothesley, or yunjin to go with yoimiya, you won't be stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to deciding whether to make a cope substitution for one of your two teams (e.g. dehya onto the lyney team), or straight up throw away that second team and use a completely different team altogether that you may not have built properly. 3. this has been mentioned by the pinned comment and its comment chain, but the concept of increased opportunity cost also has to be mentioned more across the genshin community. the reason it gets miswritten by many as diminishing returns is that DR is basically thought of as a simpler way to explain the concept of focusing more on one offensive stat at the expense of another leading to inferior total dps output compared to the optimal ratio of the stats (a very over-simplified example is that if you can add 50 to either side of 100*150, you'd rather add it to the lower number because 150*150=22500 > 100*200=20000) when that is not really the case from a strictly mathematical standpoint. real DR comes in the form of EM, and there's also hard caps like CR at 100%, but IOC tends to be more relevant than DR, because IOC is the one that applies, not DR, when you're looking at how your ayaka might do more damage on a 250 CD 2300 atk build than a 300 CD 1900 atk build (partly because of blizzard strayer + her anti-synergy with bennett). IOC is the term that better explains the idea that when you get an upgrade of 1 more atk substat, it scales your dps differently than if it had been 1 more CR/CD/EM/(even ER for emblem users) substat instead, but in practice, 1 more substat is much less likely to be the difference between getting 35* and 36* in comparison to simply learning to play the team rotation better and dodge enemy attack patterns better.

Yeah, you can use different buffers lol, but that wasnt really the point. Obviously Furina is a good buffer for her, but there is actually cooldown timing awkwardness that can arise with Furina. I wouldve used her w/o Furina in the abyss but it was basically necessary for second half. The main point I was trying to make was showing how Benny changes the value of atk%, which was also shown with the Furina team (to potentially even greater extent due to having a lot of dmg bonus already from Furina, so Gravestone shouldve been better than SS there too)

I think a way more challenging character to try to work without Bennett is Liney xD I tried, it worked, but it wasn't pretty xD The team I was able to clear abyss was Liney with Amo's Bow, Kazuha, Zhongli and Klee with TTDS. All units were C0. The damage was ok, but it basically was dependent on Liney's DMG that wasn't that high to begin with. I'm considering on trying Liney, Kazuha, Yanfei with TTDS and Emilie in the future to see if Emilie's damage will compensate the lack of Zhongli's res shred+milleilith. I wish I had Chevreuse so I could try Liney without Bennett in a team with a buffer+healer unit xD Just didn't figure out yet what other characters I'd use in that team. Maybe Raiden + Dehya?

[@Solunerra]

The very best team I found for myself is Navia, another Geo (i think Zhongli is the absolute best 2nd geo character for casual players) and then with the 2 hydro you have a lot of room. Since I am not the best, a healer is mandatory. I don't have Kokomi but i like Barbara more anyways, so she's the immediate choice. And then the next best off-field hydro application I know and have AND like is Yelan, so that has been my team ever since Navia release.

The team I run my Navia in a bit right now is my Siggy "no getting carried by Furina" experimental team. It uses Siggy, Chiori, Navia, and Raiden. Raiden being who I settled on after trying a few other characters in that slot, and her (c3 with traditional damage dealer build) being the best character I could come up with for good on-field, helps team, good elemental app, while not wasting Siggy charges. Nice thing about electrocharged is you can crystalize off it, so you can have crystalizes and some bonus damage. I used this team on one side of the Abyss this last reset, and it helped clear with a 1m or more spare time in every chamber, but that's with the caveat that I have cons on those five stars, and they are well geared with their signature weapons. Anyway, I wouldn't use Navia with Benny myself, even if I had him built, because I mostly use my Navia to support my Chiori, rather than the other way around. Navia is there to assassinate any higher hp target, and I don't want to worry about rotation or doing set up to do that, plus Choiri and the rest of my teams, plus Navia's burst, will already have reduced the hp of the mobs a bunch anyway. She doesn't need extra attack if the enemy's hp is already significantly reduced. So I want to just have her go bang, and then maybe bang again. That said, besides Benny and Chev, you overlooked Sara. She's clunky and not really worth using, without sufficient elemental application to make Navia happy. As far as atk% goes, there's also Lynette, for 20% attack, but that drops if you are running double geo and anemo/VV doesn't mesh well with geo. And, well, Navia adds up to 40% atk herself, which reduces the impact of other sources of it, as far as a percentage increase in damage goes.

Don't want deal with Pyro immune enemies in Natlan when Hoyo decides to be rude.

[@zeseku1493]

maybe you don't see the same damage from HER in particular in all those teams but the team damage is pretty comparable, something i'm trying to tell people with many chars and actual scenarios that exist in the game where beloved hypercarries or fullteamsetups are not being better than other choices in practice granted you'll have to invest in all chars in those teams and thats where i think the biggest issue comes into play for some people but it mostly feels like we are still stuck in the past where you only had one character with investment

[@Meese12]

lmao no way, this came up in my feed just as I was building a bennett-less navia team. I got Verdict on this weapon banner and i realized that all the natural atk% she gets in her kit when combined with the ridiculous base atk and extra atk% given by that weapon makes the pyro resonance and Bennett's buff kinda overkill (i was getting like 4.3k atk) so I figured an MH build with furina and noelle could potentially balance her stats a lot better and increase her damage. I havent seen the video yet but if this is what you end up doing im losing my mind. Edit: as always I underestimate the creativity of soluna

[@Solunerra]

Lol haha for once I didnt use MH! But yeah you pretty much have the idea, wherein the relative values of different stats can make different stats more relevant (and therefore different stats characters give to your character relative to their weapon changes the relevance of things like a character signature weapon). MH should be a better build for Navia with Furina than my 2pc combos btw, but I actually found I didnt like MH with Navia since she can be more quickswappy, and MH forces you to lose a bit of HP on Navia, and with how Furinas attack timing draining HP is kinda variable that means you dont want to shoot right after swapping to Navia, which imo is an annoying consideration when playing her. I noticed multiple times while testing MH that I didnt crit likely because I didnt let Mh stacks buildup. Its one of those cases wherein it is “optimal” to use MH, but the awkwardness of getting the optimal value from it may make it less relevant in practice

[@Meese12]

@@Solunerra you were right about MH - with Noelle doing the NAs in my rotations i was only left time to swap in and skill and i couldnt build any stacks. Figured that out after floundering in abyss for about 20 minutes. While MH didnt work out, the team was a lot of fun. You get into a nice rhythm of swapping back and forth between building fanfare on noelle and using Navia's skill. Still havent found a 4th unit i love in that slot, i was playing around with Pamber mona but i dont have her fully built.

[@pine_corgi]

Im a Navia main that doesn't run a Benny and yet I still hit 190k 😅😅😅

[@Diegnz]

The best navia team imo is navia/geo sub dps/ furina and xianyun. You run marechausse and get a top of stats

[@MN-xh7yu]

I really like running navia with a double Geo double Electro comp. No particular reason it's electro. I know Dbl Pyro gives 25% Atk and that's great but I actively avoid using Bennet as it's genshin easy more to me, same reason I don't use Shield Zhongli. Aside from him and xiangling Pyro doesn't have a ton when it comes to off field presence essentially when you need crystallize. Electro on the other had has tons of good off fielders, having more options because the characters are in less demand.

[@purple455]

I think he's only actually necessary when you run a low base attack 3*/4* weapon for the crit, or you're dehya

[@Axterix13]

Even Dehya doesn't need him, as you can build teams that are as effective by simply not making her your carry. Let the rest of the team do nice off-field damage, and benefit from her toughness so you're never not doing damage (even 12-3 dancing duo's damage you can shrug off). Plus she doesn't snapshot and loves to move around during her burst anyway, so he's really not ideal for her.

[@Meese12]

He can make up for low base atk 4 stars but if you have a 3 star weapon equipped on a character it generally means that they dont scale off of atk

[@purple455]

@@Meese12 well theres cases like arlechino, yoimiya, basically any atk scaling dps that likes the white tassel or slingshot, where their f2p best in slot weapon is a 3* because of the crit and decent passive

[@purple455]

@@Axterix13 well that part was mostly a joke but if you want dehya to do any meaningful amount of damage you do want bennet, a team with dehya in it doesnt need bennet, but dehys's damage needs bennet. the most effective dehya teams are probably just her running a support tenacity build or burgeon anyway. even at c1 when her damage spikes, she needs bennet because she starts building hp and bennet balances it with the attack buff, also dehya's best sub dps option is xiangling, and her best performing team where she assumes a dps role is mono pyro. a team with xiangling is a team with bennet. I don't even like bennet his circle is annoying, I love dehya so i work around it

never ever put Bennet in Navia's team, she still slap some cheeks with 150k crit damage from single E

[@Regice5cyl5]

I've never liked bennet but navia's nice enough that she moreso just needs applicators instead of buffers, leading to me usually running xq/fischl/zhongli for most of my time as her but sometimes mona too as something more funny.

[@gominthangseldo694]

I used her in a furina xianyun and she does 150k skills and about 40-50k plunges. It's definitely worth trying

double hydro with chiori furina sigewinne is my favorite navia team. so comfortable and i get to play all fontaine characters together ^_^

[@chippysfun5288]

I got verdict while trying to get the key and I want navia

[@jonathanrobinson198]

Honestly I just put her on a dual dps team with Noelle, Gorou, and Raiden. Shards every, geo buff, noblesse buff, and tons of energy for Noelle. It works way better than it probably should lol.

[@Solunerra]

Yeah I liked the litte bit of quickswap DPS stuff I have played with Navia thus far. Will test out Noelle more though

[@Geneva1906]

Sarah and Shenhe also buff attacks. Yes I know they are niche but it is still a attack buff.

[@yoiko89]

You don't need Bennett for her she works without him. You can use double hydro and geo core.

[@moskthinks9801]

I wonder if mavuika will change everything

[@Toonfish_]

While the team format is kinda generic, Furina Xianyun Ning/Zhongli Navia absolutely slaps. My Navia is C0 and deals around 1.3 million damage per rotation. After each skill usage she can perfectly fit 4 geo-infused plunge attacks so you get huge sustained damage in addition to the big nukes. 10/10 would recommend!

[@LovelyyBoba]

I have Navia and no Bennet at the moment. Hopefully I get him soon, but its not like I plan on going into abyss any time soon. So yeah.

[@user-sl5nv4mu5n]

If you have the characters, you could try navia xianyun furina zhongli

[@Solunerra]

Yeah I played around a bit with plunge. Its obviously pretty decent, though not necessarily the strongest way to use Xianyun. Xianyun is just a good buffing option

[@novi-youtube-imena-nikchemni]

I use Mona instead of Zhongli.

[@weeklyriu7234]

What if you use navia as a burst sheilder , using crystalize

[@Sosuke0727]

2+2 Geo and pyro is the best combination for Navia. Especially for Abyss and bosses However, if use Bennett with her are restricted yourself within his circle Moreover, Navia lose 200 base attack with compared with +2 pyro In my example any elemental combinations it's 2.861 attack but with +2 pyro it went 3.061 attack Is worthy that 200 base attack difference for Navia ? 🤷

My Benny is lvl 90, 4pc Noblesse & an Alley Flash (don.'t have Aquila) but I just haven't used him in over a year. My Navia is C0R1 & has 4pc Whispers & does just fine without him on severals teams I've tested, my favourite being plunge.

[@Solunerra]

Yeah the more alternative buffers they release the more you can go without him. I use him all the time for infusion stuff too though lol

[@malvoleus]

@@Solunerra that's pretty much what I was using him for until I shelved him, pyro Qiqi combined with Kazuha buff & sunfire Jean was a riot, if impractical in most scenarios.

Its not that crazy to forget about a atk buffer that they managed to make more niche than Chevreuse, who literally restricts her team comps to 2 elements. I shouldve mentioned her to be clear, but its not like shes actually that important in the scope of the conversation about atk buffers in the game, sadly. Heck, I dont even like using her with Raiden, who she was made for…

I haven't touched Bennett at all since I got him all the way back around launch. No offense I mean use who you want but I never liked how over rated he is and I mean with the newer characters coming out he seems almost completely useless to me. I know he's good but you can play the game with any team perfectly fine without him, you can even c6 him and still do well. Reminds me, I honestly find it ridiculous and kinda dumb that there are ppl who still don't c6 him to this day like just do it it's not gonna change anything. But yeah overall use who you wamt and ik it's basically has nothing to do with the video but Bennett is not absolutely needed for every party in fact he's not really needed at all that much

Problem with that is Noelle. If you're only using her for some crystalizes, she doesn't bring enough to the table compared to Chioro, Albedo, Zhongli, geo traveler, or Ning. If you are using her for her healing, you're probably running Furina, in which case Noelle needs too much field time to do her healing, and now you no longer have a Navia team. You have a Noelle one.
