As an Emilie enjoyer I'm really tempted by both Mulani and Kinich, but I gotta say I'm worried about how single target they seem. I've got Wanderer, c6 Gaming, hyper-invested Yoimiya even, single target DPS is just not a big draw right now.

MUALANI C1R1 PREACHHH

[@Shane_A_M]

For Raiden “falling off”, I do think it’s worth mentioning that she comes with infinite interruption resistance at C0. The newer Fontaine DPSs outdamage her at C0, but need cons to get the same interruption resistance, whereas Raiden needs cons to keep up in damage. It’s a trade-off that I really don’t think makes Raiden strictly worse. Something I will say though is that it’s very hard to get a good crit ratio on Raiden. She doesn’t ascend with crit and needs a pretty hearty amount of ER, and the Catch only gives 12% rate and her sig gives none. It feels really bad to miss the crit on her big frontload slash. So she is a LOT harder to build than the new DPSs. Also, run Thrilling Tales Xianyun instead of Jean in Raiden Double Hydro. TLDR: I think Raiden has fallen off at low investment, but at high investment she keeps up and gives a lot more to the team as a whole than other DPSs.

[@ilikenewmeta9717]

While I do think what U said is true. If U invested the same amount into a Fontaine DPS she pales in comparison

[@julienperez6520]

@@ilikenewmeta9717 Arlecchino and Neuvillete id argue are the only ones who make her look mediocre in dps. Lyney too but he's too impractical to recommend

[@Venjoy_zzz]

True, apart from yhe fact a 100 CD Raiden still hits over 300K . I've seen Raidens have around 280 ER While Having almost 200 CD and 80~ CR at the same time. If you have such a Raiden, she quite literally becomes the most OP Unit in terms of long-term investment worth.

[@Shane_A_M]

@@ilikenewmeta9717 I do think Neuvi and Arle are better, but I don’t think the distance is vast as you’re implying, I still get very fast clears with Raiden, but mine is top 3% in the world so I could be biased (C0R1). I think that Raiden’s ability to buff Yelan specifically is what lets her keep up in terms of team DPS. If you play Raiden double hydro (with Xianyun on Thrilling Tales and allowing Raiden to break shields easier with plunges) she turns Yelan into a monster and that really makes up the difference compared to other teams and it makes her one of the better drivers of that core, contrary to what other people say.

[@Shane_A_M]

@@Venjoy_zzz I really like that Raiden scales so well with investment, not just on her, but for her supports too. I feel like she really rewards those that put in the work for a cracked artifact set. Now with the new artifact customization coming in 5.0, more people will be able to get god-tier sets for characters.

I disagree with Konich’s design being unique in a positive way with the context of his lore. He was based off a significant dark-skinned god that people in Africa are currently still worshipping. I don’t need 50% of all my Genshin characters to be dark-skinned, but I find it really gross that Genshin took a lot inspiration from a god from an historically and still currently very oppressed race and whitewashed him for profit.

[@stargazing209]

@@OutOfCreativity Idk what to tell you, it's an imaginary world that takes inspiration from mythologies, deities, nationalities etc. This is how most of the characters get their names and designs in majority of games, it's just inspiration, they are not directly portraying the African god as a white person, they just took him as an inspiration to create a character who originates from NATLAN, a completely made up nation... Does it say anywhere that people from Natlan have a dark skin tone? No, bcs Natlan doesn't exist in real life... Nothing to be mad about here.

[@OutOfCreativity]

​@@stargazing209 I don’t think “it’s just fiction” is really a good excuse because fiction does bleed into real life AND Genshin is centered a lot around traveling and cultures. Black cultures get overshadowed in media all the time because of stuff like this. Again, I don’t really care that much for representation, but if you wanna have a heavy theme of cultures in your work, do them justice or pick a different theme. That said I don’t hate ppl who don’t mind/like the designs, I’m just giving a different view.

[@thewrathofdumbledore4867]

[@maevethefox5912]

C3R1 Raiden user here - this is what I've got At that level of investment, she *will* keep up with top DPS units, especially if you have c6 Chevy and a good weapon for Sara. The team is super easy to play and I end abyss floors in 20-30 seconds. If you want to drop a big investment in Raiden because you have an unhealthy obsession with purple ladies, I don't think you'll find yourself disappointed in her performance. That said, if you are simply looking for account power, she's nowhere near worth it. C0 Raiden is *not* a functional main DPS, and Kuki can run hyperbloom nearly as well. For the same pulls as c3r1 Raiden you could get c0r1 Neuvi, c0 Furina and c0r1 Arlecchino and be so much further ahead meta wise. If you love Ei, you can absolutely make her work great, no question. I don't regret it at all. But functionally speaking, she's not an efficient pull at all.

[@Juice-chan]

exactly my opinion on her. you saw the footage in the video, C3R1 is amazing (well that raiden was C5, but C4/5 don't matter much anyway) but it's so much cheaper to just get a C0R1 neuvi, or even a C1R1 neuvi. a C3R1 arlecchino also makes C3R1 raiden look like a joke; she's beautiful, really cool & amazingly easy to use, but her C0 power level just... isn't there anymore.

[@tristianity8529]

I have the same experiecnce, i dont have c6 chev yet, only c1 but my c3r1 raiden is absolutly a powerful dps. HOWEVER ive spent the majority of my accounts time and resources on her to get her to that point. c6 raiden coming home this banner!

[@garytda5402]

This exact thing,as long as you have the proper supports I feel all the main dps can still be viable 🙏

[@archieprime]

@garytda5402 honestly. Hell, my Raiden is doing 500k+ initial slash and then her NAs around 70k-80k is which is more than competitive imo. But outside of Sara's burst the rest of the team does almost nothing. Meanwhile a character like Alhaitham has his whole team dealing damage, no wonder he's so highly rated. I long a pyro off field sub dps that also buffs attack so I'm not constantly picking between between Bennett, XL, and Sara for Chevreuse teams. On god if the pyro archon does that, take my money.

[@AlwaysThirstys]

Way too harsh on Raiden. She not even all that far behind them, her DPS is nothing to laugh at considering my c0 Raiden hits 406K Per Burst with SOH and without C6 Sara as well. Her damage is super nice and she has good aoe in her best team too, not to mention, even if she might be slightly less powerful in terms of Damage she makes up in support abilities. She is so easy to build and Gives a ton of ER for Everyone including herself, you have a never ending rotations with her and you can generally focus on crit instead of wanting too much ER on your supports. Shr can also be used as a Sub DPS or in Overload.+ She has the best off field electro application, 100% uptime, S tier for Dendro teams like Aggravate or Hyperbloom as well. Raiden still is an S tier Unit and she is definitely worth pulling and investing in. I would recommend Her if you are looking for a Universal Unit that can do everything, rather than simply a dps role, only if of corse you are not lacking dps characters, if you have atleast 2 built DPS Kazuha And Raiden offer way more Pull Value and are super easy to build. Kazuha=Raiden>=Mualani=Kinich for the most part. If you need a dps Then Mualani=Kinich>=Raiden>Kazuha, but Kazuha is a must have if you want the God tier support.

[@D4C_267]

She is mid stop coping. Her best team at c0 has like 61k dps and her c2 just puts her on par with modern dps. Fischl and beidou are better for off field electro damage. Kuki is better for hyperbloom. Childe is better for national. Hu tao is better for the yelan+furina core. Raiden is just electro ayato. Has alot of uses but mid at all of it.

I was lucky to get Furina as my first 5 star, and with Lisa, Noelle, and Bennett, sport a small electro-charge team, I’m leaning to Jean for free pool, Kazuha for power, and Kinich cause I love the dudes 8-bit vibes, thoughts? Recommendations?

[@labrava7004]

I don't want to pull for Emilie and I don't have Baizhu but I really want to pull for Kinich because of the whole pixel spiderman edgelord thing he's got going on but still want to make sure first I have a viable team I can play with him in Spiral Abyss. Is there any viable replacement for those two as supports or would you recommend waiting for Kinich's rereun once I have Emilie or Baizhu instead?

[@Neon_Volt]

im pulling both mualani and kinich im gonna have to grind like crazy in 5.0

[@Juice-chan]

same man plus i want kinich’s sig

[@Neon_Volt]

Today i did both the desert quest and the narrcssinkreuz quest i got like 7 pulls so it was worth it💀

[@cesarignjas]

Nah... myself I'll go for Raiden anyway, just need one more copy to get her at C3 and than she will be perfect in my book, I have been playing so much other games that I don't feel like spending more time grinding and building new characters here anymore, I have found more value to keep experiencing this game in getting more constellation to improve characters I already have builded , equipped and ready to go than farming for the new ones, with more constelations, ane some crowned tallets here and there they can keep up with the shinny new units on the block. What puts me off the most is when the game wants me to farm a brand new artifact set.. I skipped Arlechino because my Navia is still far from perfect, the artifact RNG in this game is so bad... I can't start farming for Arlecchino while my Navia build was not done yet. that's how Hoyo looses my money, I have strong OCD, I much preferer to have few but very well built characters than lots of them with mediocre builds. That said IF the new "chose here your artifact and substats" thingy helps I will be very happy, because we all will have to start farming that new artifact set anyway for the upcoming archon...

[@lorraineviruet8973]

You mentioned Lyney is top three dps in game? Is this objective or subjective? I thought it was Dendro daddy alhaitham ? No?

[@h3arts.4.n0b0dy]

YOU GUYS, i want mualani, BUT there are rumors that nahida is going to be in a banner (somewhat soon). and I’ve wanted nahida for SO LONGGG. SO, should i pull for mualani or nahidaaa ??

[@matrixfull]

Ever since I seen first 3 new characters in first intro videos of Natlan I was like. I need Kachinaaaa! I don't care what she does or anything.. She is the oneee. And now I find out that she will buff my favorite dps too? man that is insane! i'm so happy!!! on top of all that I can't believe she is a 4 star!!! and FREE !! Dudee!!!

[@FutayuriShironeko]

I'm not saying people should pull for Raiden if they don't want to. However Juice placing mega flexible and high utility unit like Raiden below Kinich which she herself points out needing specific units and high investment to work properly is crazy... She should be at least on par with him, since he will be doing more dps than her, but running Raiden for utility gives her a much higher value than trying to make Dps Raiden keep up. Raiden gets discredited a lot for not matching current main dps units, but that's not what gave Raiden massive value in the first place. During Inazuma she was top unit in nearly all aspects, but her main value to the teams were buffing their bursts and cutting ER requirements to the point they don't need to run Favs. In Hyperbloom you will only run Kuki over Raiden if that team has no healer aside from Kuki herself, so Kuki doesn't really replace her. And this is with Kuki being my favorite and Imo best 4 star in the game, since I ran her a lot during both Fontaine and Sumeru.

[@Juice-chan]

flexibility is whatever if all your teams are meh kinich’s singular team is really good. his damage is S-tier, he’s only in A because he needs emilie edit: also she was a pretty good DPS in inazuma, she just fell off, plus you’re playing kuki + haitham or cyno which has no raiden so where is the room for her then?

[@FutayuriShironeko]

@@Juice-chan If ~40-45 sec abyss side clear with C0 Raiden on second account with suboptimal units is meh, then I don't think "falling off" you are bringing up is as valid of a point as you might think. Yes, she doesn't sprint race newest units for 25 sec side clears, but on my team she isn't running full dps, but as team facilitator unit to a great success. She isn't "Meta", as in "best" unit in the game, but she still has high value in flexibility most units would kill for. Also EM Raiden/Alhaitham works just fine, Kuki isn't a must there. Haven't tried Raiden/Cyno since I don't have him, so I won't say anything about that. Anything that runs Kuki can easily slot Raiden for higher team dps. Kuki being an EM healer is good for safety, but EM Raiden still clears Kuki in personal dps on top of team buff. P.S. I'm not trying to prove you "Wrong", I simply disagree with how much Raiden truly "fell off" due to her flexibility to run other teams then before when she was top dog.

[@julienperez6520]

@@FutayuriShironeko Raiden hyperbloom is arguably better than Kuki because Raiden gives that fat burst damage bonus to her teammates. Kuki's shit healing doesn't convince me to run her over Raiden in that role particularly because she gets one shot quite often and raiden provides a ton of energy for the team too.

[@FutayuriShironeko]

@@julienperez6520 Raiden is much better, that's the point. Kuki is simply a safer option.

[@D4C_267]

@@julienperez6520 The best hyperbloom team in the game is alhaitham quickbloom and it uses kuki. Second best is nahida double hydro and it also uses kuki. Kuki is way better for hyperbloom lol.

[@Blueberieeee]

I really want to get kinich cuz i love his design, but I absolutely love Mualani too!! Shes so cute

[@marylopes6745]

Ill be going for Mualani since I already have both Raiden and Kazuha, I also like Kinich but I didnt pull for Emilie and I belive Xilonen will be the next 5* after him, so Ill just wait for his rerun. Good look to everyone tho!!

[@thetyseevee8082]

Im pulling for kazuha, and if i have wishes left, ill go for tetris Tarzan

[@SpikeCurtis-vp6vb]

I’m not going to pull for kazuha bcs I’ve seen a couple leeks and apparently that leopard lady in the 5.0 teaser is going to be significantly better than kazuha especially with the new support set coming in 5.0

[@El_DoorsGoblino]

Maybe xilonen/leopard girl could be better then my boy Kazuha but who really knows until they come out. Save up either way even if she's good or bad cuz we always have other characters.

[@steve6799]

Im going for Mualani, because i dont have Emily. Simple as that lmao. And she will be so nice for exploration. I wish the best of luck to all the Mualani, Kinich, Ei and Kzuha wanters!!! ❤

[@yourdunkedon7059]

I really want kinich but I really don’t want too pull for Emily hope he is still good without her

[@LongDeadArtist]

Too late to change my mind, I am Mualani-locked.

[@eliotanderson6554]

For me as returning player its furina nahida nuvellete and arlechinno

[@Asali-l8x]

I will go for Mualani and Kinich on their reruns because I wanna keep my pulls for Xilonen and potentially Shenhe rerun later on in Natlan.

[@MiLife2]

my plans are like if i get Kazuha on my main, my alt will wish for Mualani, but if i dont, all my alts + main are literally gonna GRIND 25 hrs a day

[@capuchinnoA]

I am waiting for Wriothesley rerun THAT LONG that I read the thumbnail as “Pull Wriothesley (it says ‘wisely’) Help 😭

[@fran99080]

i agree with your points but saying raiden fell off is like saying zhongli fell off imo. comfy characters are always gonna be important

[@Juice-chan]

zhongli did fall off tho, he fell on his butt during sumeru he came back during fontaine tho

[@keefyboi5307]

​@Juice-chan how about Raiden tho?

[@actnow5927]

I started in 3.6 and out of sheer ignorance made very bad investment choices in my inflated roster of units. Kazuha was the first unit that really allowed me to break out of the soft-lock I had gotten myself in. I simply cannot overstate how useful he is, especially for newcomers to the game. One of the few units I would consider a “must pull.”

[@beautifulafrica4596]

If you're bad at assessing characters, just go with Archons. That, or characters with very prominent roles in lore/story. In Fontaine that'd be Furina and Neuvillette, no mistakes there.

[@Juice-chan]

kazuha is the goat dude

[@Rorensuwl8]

I think Raiden c0 is way more comfortable than Kuki Kuki needs consolations to keep electro application up whereas Raiden doesn't. Raiden can also apply electro from afar... Indeed Neuvillette/Kokomi + Raiden + McDendro/Nahida + flex is just too good

[@ashlxrr]

Okay I’ve decided. I’m trying for Maulani my hardest, and maybe Raiden.

[@Dandycito]

As a raiden main, C2R1 with a overload team built hitting 650k bursts and clearing spiral 36 with her team This video accurate I’ve over invested in her because I love EI but my Navia hits similar numbers at lower investment

[@SlayrinaF]

I would love a C2 Raiden, because her C1 is starting to really look low in dmg when next to my Arle, but I'd rather save those primos for Mualani for a nice in-region unit

[@soulfight9174]

Yeah, after getting characters like navia, clorinde, and arlecchino as mush as I love raiden with every bone in my body, she unfortunately does not compare very well with those 3 😢

[@Inversion_Mythfall]

idk if im crazy but natlan looks like simulanka: the reigon with its aesthetic

[@cravingfriedrice]

Pulling for Kinich cuz.. I love him ❤ and the fact that I’ve already gotten Emilie for him. Built Xiangling too but ig that was unnecessary since I’m gonna pull for Mavuika ;-;

[@sigma20xx]

I will be C3ing by Raiden. I wanted another Dendri dps, and the free Thighnari will do just that. Ive also got enough hydro. Having nuevilette doesn't help this new 5☆ hydro units cade for wishing. I wish I wouldn't have skipped arlechino and chlorinde. I just wanted to see who was next. Now that I know, I will be grabbing them when they rerun.

[@stargazing209]

Is it really bad if new players go for a niche but really strong team? I feel like new player should aim to get one full strong team before thinking about getting universally good units that work in more teams.

[@Juice-chan]

i agree, but banners take months at a time to return if you pull for kinich? great! but then you have to wait months for emilie & furina to return, not to mention having to pick up mavuika on the way

[@Kuba-is-1]

I've seen this, cuz I wasn't sure if I want Mualani or Ei. now, I'm so confused I might not pull at all😂 (thanks tho, I'd regret it sooner or later)

[@naso724]

Should I get kazuha or wait for xilolen??? That's the true question... I play from day 1 and had venti ,never really wanted kazuha that bad but I see the value that he brings ... But geo mummy should be better I believe .. and help with natlan exploration and fights better .. so kazuha it's a bait 😢

[@joaomartins9662]

I have c1 kazuha and I have a garenteed idk if I go for c2 kazuha or mualani I want them both but idk witch one to choose

[@dhfofbts_]

I'm a new player and f2p. I am a wanderer main should I get KAZUHA or Raiden? Last target was FURINA and genshin thought I wanted keqina LoL

[@FreakGeSt]

I think Mualani was a bit overselled here, because like you said, there are so many good hydro units then why one more? Also is a DPS, Raiden as a support have much more value in my opinion and can be a DPS too, Mualani can't be a support, also not everybody want to use or have the unconventionals because, they were unconventional. Overall I think Mualani and Raiden are A.

[@abdiabdi3225]

I might be the only person getting Mualani it seems purely because Mavuika is too far in the future and I have enough wishes to get Mualani and her weapon in one go. Also I'm bored Nilou Hu Tao Neuvillette Navia makes anything feel easy so I simply care about something new.

[@waddahrasengan3414]

Btw Raiden SSS-TIER for the comfort alone forget her dmg, battery, hyperbloom, off-field electro app and she reruns more frequently

[@vapor9k122]

Don't have Kazuha... My Bennett is C1..... I main Navia. These banners are a blessing! Time to blow some primos :3

[@g_magnum]

I joined Genshin during 2.5. I wasn't able to get Raiden at that time I lost to Jean. After that I skipped from 2.8 I stopped wishing and also skipped Nahida. I got Raiden after losing 50/50 Then again I skipped Neuvillette and Furina just to get Raiden C1 even after losing 50/50 Here I am again already lost 50/50 with around 23 more days to control myself to get myself C2 Raiden Shogun. F2P.

[@N4JXM]

since when is Lyney top 3 dps?

[@Juice-chan]

since he came out look up vape lyney runs

[@reddevilsunited_2060]

Imma C3 Raiden and get her weapon as the weapon banner from what i learnt will become much less brutal in the next patch.

[@wolfiee6209]

After I finally get my kazuha and him built the rest of the first patch or two is gonna be spent building yunjin,gorou and the new 4 star so i have some options ready for xilonen when she comes out and i hopefully get her lol

[@Smith-e8e]

Did you know what is "Raiden Nacional" it's one of the most powerful team in the game with 1 five star character and it is Raiden

[@LavenderPi]

Everyone who wants kazuha please keep in mind xilonen is coming out and she’s shaping up to be a new and better kazuha! If you want to pull xilonen maybe hold off on kazuha

[@firby7341]

i dont see any reason for kinich and emilie to be in the same team. emilies synergy lies with mualani, not kinich. kinich and emilie both dont care for EM, so dendro resonance brings them nothing too
