Zachef missed the opportunity to call Itto mono Geo spaghetti and meatballs. Itto’s noodle arms, Zhongli’s meatball, Alebdo’s flower as a plate and Gorou for the flag usually placed on one of the meatballs.

[@yuri-lt5ct]

This comment needs to be liked more lmao

[@kazukinowa]

Thats too much recognition just for Yellow Physical.

[@finding_aether]

Replace one of em with geo traveller for wombo combo with zhongli.

[@satosoujirou]

@@finding_aether i think they called it microwave team. with zhongli resonance dmg as main dmg.

[@liszst]

@Krmiby How is spaghetti and meatballs a legendary culinary term lol it’s like a rly basic pasta

[@14ShadO]

39:11 that animation for the salad team was just so heartwarming

[@TwistedPT19]

Truly one of the moments of editing

[@ame_goblin]

bro gotta raise his editor paycheck

[@oyfum2638]

Salad team lore:

[@irium_pls]

Fun fact: thermodynamically speaking, a fridge and an oven are the exact same machine. They both draw heat energy from one reservoir and transfer it to another, resulting in a hot region and a cold region. The difference between the two machines is which part you stick your food.

[@sabsain2399]

truly a fun fact of all times

[@emiki6]

I disagree. Fridge is a heat exchanger, like air conditioning, it uses electricity to "separate" warm from cold, it's the most efficient way to heat stuff (using electricity) and probably the only reasonable way to cool stuff.. Owen uses combustible fuels or electricity (through electrical resistance) to release heat. If electricity is used it's much less efficient than heat exchangers, but it's easier to reach high temperatures for cooking.

[@aminulhussain2277]

No, a fridge has no heating implement.

[@shinkamui]

well, you're extracting heat from chemical bonds in an oven, or extracting heat from electricity currents, so its not really the same thing. Theres nothing getting colder in an oven, there are atoms separating, others bonding, others rearranging in reactions that generate heat and electricity being transformed. So no cold region, only hot region

[@GamersInHellOnYt]

hoyo needs to add a non killable training dummy in the game so we can test damage. If it records your attacks too that would be so great for players to just see the difference rather than trying to record a play and pause it every frame to math out the damage being done on screen.

[@timuito243]

it'd be nice, but for now Masanori at midnight - 2am is mostly good for testing 1 rotation for almost every team I think. And if you don't know, Masanori in that period is 5x tankier for some reasons lol, and you have 5 minutes to spar with him instead of the usual 2

[@GamersInHellOnYt]

@@timuito243 wow thanks! 👍

[@finding_aether]

How about Childe? He is not killable, but he sure is a dummy.

[@greyviscount.78]

​@@timuito243 well he blocks... Imagine doing a rotation just for him to block almost all of it

[@greyviscount.78]

My goto dummy is the Desert Doritos. No special resistance, decently tanky Easy to run back to

[@luizaugustorosa1141]

[@pencilonpaper1026]

So true

[@lorraineviruet8973]

Yeah forreal I needed something to watch tonight

[@SYMgenshin]

I would like to express my thanks to Xiangling. My gratitude for her indisputably magnificent assistance is almost infinite. Xiangling's efforts have not gone unnoticed. I really like the contribution that she has in our society, she really makes a difference and helps others out, the world could always use more people like Xiangling. Gosh, what a polite and humble fellow. It is such a kind honour for someone as low as me to be in contact with someone of a level such as Xiangling and Guoba. I thank my good friend Xiangling once again. A world without Xiangling, would be a world I would not be able to live in, and I believe I share that opinion with most people. I can rest easy tonight knowing Xiangling OPPA. I appreciate Xiangling and everything she stands for and on behalf of everyone on planet earth, thanks Xiangling.

[@MikuVocaloidHD]

When I'm trying to fall asleep but then I remember how good Xiangling has been to me: 😑😭

[@Kindi001]

lije xiangling always says, Nice and spicey

[@baguette_connoisseur]

Least obsessed Xiangling player.

[@JustSomeGuyWithAMug]

I am simply unable to fathom the people that do not appreciate Xiangling's efforts to help us in our journey through the abyss, just a 4 piece emblem, lvl80, talents 188, catch at 90, or even favonius, that is all you need to thank her and to let her help you with any difficulty you may have. But they STILL go against the idea of letting Xiangling be of help, such unreasonable people should not have the privilege of having a free Xiangling, they shouldn't even have the right to have any polearm character, nor bennett or xingqiu either, yet Xiangling still forgives and loves them equally (as food) and lets them use any character they want. We don't deserve Xiangling and all she has done for us, but we still need her, and she will always be there for us. Thank you XL OPPA. Favmen🙏

[@lunarzenith]

Thank you xiangling

[@ffxfgxsfxxxg2419]

I love how both Kaeya and Lisa mains can use these characters as competitive meta units in hyperfridge and hyperbloom respectively 🎉🎉🎉

[@ginichimaruan3572]

Poor Amber meanwhile is still an elegy bot just like her friend Collei.

[@Nowaylarry]

Lisa works but she is better in aggravate. Her only reliable way of proccing the cores is with her slow, high stamina cost charged attack or through RNG during her burst (worse chances in AOE). Her skill will basically never hit the cores and the same for her normals. You could however use an anemo character like Kazuha or Sucrose's burst to swirl electro that Lisa has applied on enemies in order to more reliably proc the cores. If Nahida is your dendro applier though you may sometimes lose the electro aura on enemies.

[@finding_aether]

Since Dendro, Lisa is lowkey OP vs some enemy setup.

[@prestige934]

@@ginichimaruan3572 Burgeon amber exist and its pretty good

[@Yoanka]

Kaeya's already been a perfectly functional freeze off-field DPS, too. People are underestimating him in favor of Rosaria, but imo Kaeya/Ayaka is an extremely comfortable pairing to play and has been my go-to freeze team ever since I got Kokomi (though I now play them with Mona, because Kokomi is on an EM build for Nilou).

[@luiss428]

mono geo seriously feels like the physical of genshin LMAO even physical relies on a reaction (literal antithesis of physical dmg)

[@hlonghi]

Yeah, Burgeon is not very good right now. But I bet this new unit "Dehya" will be amazing for Burgeon! Also, I can't wait to use her with Yelan/Xingqiu so her burst will vape the shit out of everything! Hoyo is so generous to put such a cute, overpowered and tall pyro waifu on the standard banner.

[@betulla96]

Layla + Kuki also makes you basically unkillable in hyperfridge

[@nhaan4178]

The way I'm thinking of monogeo is that it's not the best, but it's the most reliable. There are hardly any floors that straight up counter geo/have enemies that 100% against geo. I only have to come up with 1 team for the Spiral abyss and rest assure that my Itto can take care of another chamber. Itto works really well against triple Mango Kinky and he can deal with bosses as well as mobs. Love my boy

Zajef content just keeps upping in quality and depth and I don't get bored of it. Also thank you editor/editors for the hard work on the jokes that enhance this further. Good show all around

[@subahokke]

Thank you for making this informational video! I had been wondering about many of the definitions/combinations of the culinary team names and it was great to see a glossary of most of them, as well as their relevance to the current abyss. Your videos make me want to open up the game and start doing abyss for fun KEKL

[@JustKels]

I really liked this! It’s exciting to hear that you’ll do similar (if less in depth explanations) videos like it with each Abyss cycle. Thanks to you and your editor, appreciate your work!

[@alexandertk.1282]

Big brain math guy and also a professional chef. Zajef can do it all.

[@colacore]

Loved this video! Really happy it will be a series, I feel like it will be really helpful

[@selenehalcyon1481]

Hello. I tried a hyper-fridge comp today for the first half and I was shocked by how well it performed. I was kinda stuck on the consecrated douchebags wishing for a second Zhongli but this comp got me through it. Thank you so much, Mr. Zajef. My horizons have been broadened

[@colinrichardson9537]

10 minutes of online classes: 😴 One hour of pointless Excel podcast about gacha game: 😎 BatChest

[@JoaoPedro-mk8me]

This video was so, so good. I never really liked Abyss videos/showcases and never cared much for clearing them, but this video really caught my attention until the very end and made me want to build better characters/teams. Also, I had taken a break since right before Dendro/Sumeru and recently returned to Genshin (at the end of the Raiden banner) and was still kind of lost on what to focus my resin on, so this guide helped a lot Thanks a lot, Zachef, please keep 'em coming and regards from Brasil 🇧🇷

[@jeans.406]

Hey dad, I love the video ❤️ Something that I would like to see maybe in the future is prob solid scores or ratings on these teams with discussions on criteria such as: Complexity (difficulty to play), Primogem/Horizontal Investment (units/cons needed to reach the intended dps output) In-game/Vertical Investment (artifact/levels/materials to reach the intended dps output), - Energy Thresholds Damage Output (dmg on solid investment), Survivability, Flexibility (can the teams change according to specific needs while mostly maintaining its original playstyle?)

[@jeans.406]

Which you mostly already cover, but it’d be nice if each section of the video was structured like this or somewhat similar to this ❤️

[@brofourtwenty2143]

its the hey dad for me xd

[@undeniablySomeGuy]

These heuristics would help people that aren't as in the weeds in terms of theorycrafting. When you already know how most of the pieces in the game interact, it's easier to forget that most people don't just understand how things in the game interact and stuff

[@seang7578]

Wdym we already have a ratings system, great, goodge, okaydge, bad, and no :P

[@wilburforce8046]

I would also add just the pull value of the whole team as a whole, since if it uses units you’d want on your account anyway with little to no niche units, it would score higher.

[@silverboiiii4205]

i really wanted Yelan, but lost 50/50 and i'll need a miracle now for her to come home now... well, since my only avaliable hydro unit is Xingqiu, i came here to look for inspiration how to build my secound team, the one without him. You gave me a lot of ideas, i'll try to figure sth out! also you're such a comfy dude XD i usually can't stand videos longer than 15 minutes but SOMEHOW i have no problem with listening to yours for hours

god bless hour long zajef video edit: do this for every patch, it's probably the funnest genshin video i've watched, and the concept behind it is amazing. i would enjoy a lot more editions of this

[@frankgarciaflores8808]

I really loved the video and also think is a good idea to make this every new abyss. I think it really helps to figure out what are the best options to try with what you have. Its also cool to see you using your teams so effectively :D

[@swagstache]

AMAZING editing this video, it’s always really good but i feel it especially went crazy this time

[@andremoreira8707]

Aweasome video, helps on learning pros and cons of future teams

[@emitry8675]

Great video! I feel like everyone will benefit from watching, there is something for both new and old players. Me for example, I cleared the abyss easily with hyperbloom teams on both sides but after that I wanted to try some other teams and this is perfect! I really would like this kind of video every update/abyss.

[@latioshunter]

Mono Geo Teams aren't just good, they're a Family, and nothing is stronger than Family. If there's a new Geo unit coming out, you know damn well they're gonna fit perfectly in the mono geo team, even at c0.

Video length was fine btw! I prefer the longform content from you. Educational, entertaining, and great background noise.

[@bellacjay]

always love sittin down with a long zajef vid to watch Gladge

[@mopanda81]

Thanks for the video, so much of the discussion around team comps are based on like older metas or older information and it's great to see a new snapshot. I thought all the discussions of variations on burgeon and hyperbloom were actually super helpful since so many guides just say "you can do x" without discussing what it actually does to the general performance of the comp. I'm on a brand new account and my current best team is lisa bloom but I'm relying on solo yaoyao for dendro app and have xq and yelan there just for comfort, definitely want to try dmc, kaeya, or beidou in the third slot. Trying yelan solo and going for more quick/aggravates also seems worth trying.

[@lilremix]

man i hope this video do well so ud be motivated to do more. i might not end up trying everything, but it is nice to hear all of those characters and teams being talked about

[@zinxoid]

very good idea vid zajef, I can imagine this being very useful for new people

[@grimmy7549]

You should do this for every abyss! It’s such great and useful content

[@DaiPai1777]

im happy there's actually a funni food name for the team i've been running that I thought of on my own that was pretty fun(that being Saute). I've been trying out a team with ayato/nahida/bennett/kazuha and letting kazu trigger all the burgeons, of course its slower burgeon hits than someone like thoma but it gives a fun ayato comp and it feels nice since 3 of the 4 units on the team are doing big aoe damage constantly. might do a vid on it to showcase

[@brankho]

I’ve said this before and I will say it again, Zajef is the best Genshin content creator for meta content by far. Very entertaining and a lot of good information advice. I find it very funny how both Razor and Raiden are so far removed from their intended use and they’re still managed to be meta 😂. Loved the video man. Really looking forward to the video about the best upcoming pyro hypercarry and burgeon enabler, Dehya! 😊 bolas ❤

[@otaku-chan4888]

very helpful video! gives me some insight on the kind of teams I want to build for the future.

[@Ecstasyeye]

Funny thing about keqing aggravate teams is that even in this particularly deadly abyss, and even with my extremely poor dodging skills, kaz and keq spend so much time zipping all over the place and spamming their ults that even just the healing from c0 yaoyao's E is plenty to keep them very comfortably alive on side 1.

[@georgezhang1573]

Yeah, I noticed the difference between alhaitham burst and keqing burst in I frames vs the consecrated beasts. With keqing, she can’t get hit until you dodge out of her burst, while with alhaitham, he bursts, then gets knocked back while standing there, meaning it”s really easy to die.

[@OfficialFo]

[@yowrange]

i've been thankful to you for introducing me to thundering furry bc razor was my first dps and i've been using him EM taser builds way before dendro dropped. Currently building Yaoyao and wondering if a Hyperfridge with Ayato, Raiden/Kuki and Kaeya is a good substitute for Yelan / DMC.

I second Hyper-Fridge. Brings a lot of comfort along with all the benefits you get from fridge. Layla works well and I've also tried Diona. Both of them being strong shielders certainly adds to that comfort level, too.
