She also buffs NA damage with her C4. Couple that with Mika's 25% ATK SPD and healing and I think you could further optimise this team.

[@swagbrew]

@@ueu There is no shot (pun intended) that they didn't know about that. Clorinde's damage is clearly lower because of the amount of damage she can squeeze out of oz.

[@ueu]

@@swagbrew I feel like Clorinde's raw damage potential is just because she's electro. Electro are known to have such a low row damage potential and that has been the case for years. There's a reason why they got both Sarah and Cheveruse. Even other elements that don't have damage reactions have really high raw damage potential. Navia can throw such a high raw damage without any support or reactions. Sadly, for some reason Electro is just that bad. The only reason why c0 raiden was good is because of her support and national team. Other than that she just has bad damage compared to the investment you need. So, it was all destined because she's an Electro character. One thing to mention, yeah electro got way better with aggravate and hyperbloom but Clorinde isn't a good hyperbloom driver and aggravate feels like what electro characters should be without reactions. Cheveruse is one of the many tries to make electro better. One final thing, do you see Sethos? Yeah that new guy. If he was a pyro, cryo or hydro character he would be like twice as good. So yeah, electro characters are bad as a main dps. Even fischl is that good as a damage source because of how fast Clorinde's attacks are. I might have downplayed them but you can see Cyno for example. He's another example for a character that never worked because of its element.

I never knew that Skyward Blade was that hated. I always thought that the hated weapon was actually Aquila Favonia

[@javigamerxiir7107]

It is, skyward blade is not that hated because everyone uses bennet lol

[@Larkian]

I think both are kinda hated because Skyward was only useful in 2 characters where it wasn't even the best in slot and Aquila Favonia only usage was the highest base attack for Bennett in case someone didn't have Mistplitter or it was used on another character. This adds a good usage for those "unlucky" to get so many of the Skyward Blades.

[@ursahere5370]

​@@Larkianвообще то Skyward чаще берется на беннета даже при условии потери в базовой атаке. Все потому, что в последнее время беннет как хиллер куда более важен нежели чем дамагер. И может быть довольно сложно собрать и ульт по откату и хп для хила.

[@lucistrbl]

actually aquila is the highest base attack sword in the standard pool, so its really good on bennett. his atk buff is based on base attack. so if you have enough energy from artifacts, skyward blade is actually worse on him than aquila

Are u fr starting to convince me to build qiqi for this one team that looks so cool, no no never (goes to fight cry reg after levelling clorinde)

[@unknownkw]

I don't think Qiqi is played to her full potential, she should apply talisman (through burst or NA) before Furina burst, so that Furina and Zhongli are rapidly healed by the talisman during their field time, gaining stacks much faster. This is especially important if Furina is c0.

[@Rayhaku808]

I only got C0 Furina, so thank you for this

[@daisydaey]

so the rotation should be qiqi's ult > qiqi NA once > furina skill > furina ult > zhongli's skill > clorinde unga bunga ?

[@philkersonchong9848]

Might be better to space out qiqi skill and ult when applying the talisman.

[@unknownkw]

@@daisydaey Qiqi NA application has 30 sec cooldown, so it should be used to make up for the inability of bursting each rotation, and also because of this split, each rotation may be shortened to 15 seconds with one bursting while the other using skill only. Rotation of this party is limited by the Furina skill that has 20 sec cooldown. Two rotation routines with no sac sword on Qiqi: Furina E, Qiqi AAAAA, Furina Q, Zhongli QE, Clorinde Q, Qiqi Q, Clorinde EEAAEAAEAAE... Furina QE, Zhongli QE, Clorinde Q, Qiqi EAAAAA, Clorinde EEAAEAAEAAE... Both have Furina and Zhongli bursting when there is a talisman on the enemy, while Clorinde E also covered. The key is to delay Clorinde skill as much as possible, having Qiqi burst duration crossed into the second rotation to heal up Furina and Zhongli, but this trick would only work against boss. If it goes to the third rotation you will find a reverse routine: Qiqi Q, Furina QE, Zhongli QE, Clorinde QEEAAEAAEAAE... This is much shorter because both Qiqi skill and passive are on cooldown. It also relies on the previous rotation where there is electro leftover to trigger superconduct. It goes full circle and back to the first routine for the forth. There is a 7-second gap between Clorinde skill ending and Furina skill off cooldown, but you can omit that and continue. I've been using Qiqi with Furina since Furina release and have yet to find the best way to play her, but with sub-optimal rotation abyss still get destroyed easily. The optimized moves for this party seems extremely tricky for speedrunners at low constellations. At high investment, they kill the chamber in a single rotation so the cooldown complications of Qiqi doesn't matter. The timing of when Qiqi would use her skill or burst would still matter a lot in multi-waves however.

Love that someone found such a cool way to make use of her healing-> BoL conversion. I assume because the whole thing hinges on Clorinde's Burst activating Skyward Blade's passive, then Thundering Fury isn't actually as useful because you want to wait for your Burst cooldown?

That's actually hilarious. I guess my only only concern is Clorinde's skill cooldowns not really lining up with everyone, so might have to us TF instead of Mara? But still interesting to know, so will give it a shot with Layla and Mika as alternatives

[@dgmojojojo]

We should name this team Swimming Pool. Since Chlorine sanitize the pool and provide electricity for the water pump that has been abandoned.

[@ars-br1ms]

it's a really cool team but i think swapping zhongli for nahida would be much better, it effectively transforms into a hyperfridge team and clorinde is still a character who's preferred to play with quicken or quickbloom, and here furina actually gives you hyperbloom, you still get superconduct for skyward blade and freeze for better bloom generation, you can also play nahida with prototype amber for even more healing if you for some reason need it. zhongli just feels like overkill in here, considering that you already have clorinde who's a self-sustainable unit and qiqi who's the best healer in the game by the amount of hp she restores, and that's not to mention furina's healing bonus which increases qiqi's healing and effectively doubles clorinde's healing.

[@pina7310]

I don't think this team was on their mind at all. They just overlooked qiqi+furina dynamic for clo. And ofc skyward blade, because why pay attention to an old standard weapon ??/ Hope they won't nerf it somehow

[@Mariuslorca]

@@pina7310 i dont think they overlook it, given how Furina is essentially works well with any instant healers and hp manipulators, i assume they know people will try two use new and existing characters alike

[@res6148]

I guess it’s also because of how the burst healing works really well with the normal bond of lifes

[@jayp_ee]

Good thing I build my qiqi long time ago since I want to use her with furina

[@vipwithfacialhair5108]

This is crazy good ngl for the characters used👌🏾

[@YellowishOnion]

This really informative! Would love to see a follow up video going more in depth about artefacts for qiqi, replacements for zhongli ect. Best rotation or combo for clorinde... Basically maximizing this team as much as possible... Also are all ur limited 5 stars c0r0? Thanks!

[@jamiekb9v]

yes my furina, kazuha, nahida, yelan are all c0. furina also uses festering desire here

[@AnotherVale]

I really like this, definitely gonna test it out. I also think the Zhongli could probably be swapped around a bit. You’re already getting plenty of healing to offset damage so extra sustain from the shield isn’t really needed Maybe Fishcl, Yunjin (not sure if she synergizes with Chlornde or not), Layla for Qiqi battery, Beidou for the shield? Definitely seems flexible!

[@_mako]

i wonder how this team would perform by replacing zhongli with nahida to give clorinde access to aggravate (and hyperbloom)

[@virgil7272]

I think it depends on how many const you have on chlorinde. Shield is probably used mainly for stagger resist so her combo doesnt get interrupted.

[@nandha-one9819]

I'm pretty sure zhongli is better here

[@rodriquezdaniels8706]

I don’t have Zhongli so I’m going to try it, I do have crazy Clorinde build though.

[@enesjei]

Technically, it has bigger damage output, only if you manage to dodge all the incoming attack. Unlike raiden with her anti stagger stance in burst mode, clorinde is too easy to get staggered/thrown around. Zhongli would be better choice if you have skill issue like me.

[@I-MAC]

@@enesjei Shield is highly recommended and dodging while the skill is active is not a good thing considering the short duration of Clorinde's skill.

[@akifaiman7388]

good job to cn guy for discovering this and for you to bring this to our side of internet

[@hlonghi]

My C4 Qiqi wil eat good with Clorinde!

[@LukeZX4]

This is great, and despite the underinvestment the damage floor is actually really good. A couple preliminary thoughts: - BoL stacking is extremely unreliable here. Sometimes it skyrockets up to 100% within 2 attacks, and other times 2 attacks isn't enough. So the damage output is pretty inconsistent, and I don't know enough about Qiqi skill to understand why that is. Filling the screen with white numbers makes a funny image though. - Physical lacks a true support that really enables it to scale. There is no Kazuha for physical. I think this team actually stands a chance to be properly competitive when such a teambuilding option exists. - Clorinde's BoL stacking mechanic is very underexplored, as it now means that she additionally and uniquely scales based on incoming healing rate. I love when new characters offer new ways to provide scaling tools (think Furina completely transforming healer value, or Acheron in HSR getting really strong with high debuff application rate).

[@MikojinToyunda]

Mika was supposed to be the Physical attack buffer, but he is far from good enough to be useful. At C6, it's a bit better, but still too low of a bonus compared to other buffer.

[@do_cyx]

ngl I gotta say he's good enough now thanks to furina, most of our element specific buffer aren't healers so him healing well let's the team run furina without sacrificing anything​@@MikojinToyunda

[@KharnBF]

The one standard weapon i dont have, i have 4 AQ fml

[@lotrain84]

I actually used Skyward quite a bit on Bennett and Jean when trying to meet energy requirements for keeping either of them on a burst every rotation for heals. Will still definitely try this too though.

[@Shiamond]

I don't even have qiqi after almost 5 years

[@andrinaleong4079]

Same here. From the day I played (few months after Genshin’s release) till now, no Qiqi.

[@Towhomitmayconcern9293]

[@andersnfabiano]

I'm liking this team, but Qiqi struggles so hard to burst on cooldown. Mine has 250% ER, Sacrificial Blade, two Favonius team members, and sometimes will get just shy of 80 energy 😢

[@tristanmanalo6252]

My qiqi is in 289ER 💀💀💀

[@King_Jockey]

The time has come for my C5 Qiqi. I built and raised her when no one else did, now it's her time to shine

[@leukos22]

I feel like the healing -> BoL mechanic really needs much more exploratory testing because while this is way too dank but i can totally envision a more "standard" team comp that doesn't require a specific weapon to really take off. There's way too much potential behind Clorinde+Furina+Healer to ignore at this point and im not sure if we're due to get a healer that can unleash a torrent of healing over ~8 seconds in the future to get the most out of Clorinde's BoL.

[@criccode2993]

yeah, if we had a dendro butst healer like Charlotte, it would be an amazing fit with clorinde + furina

[@PWzhouster]

@@criccode2993 is Baizhu a decent option here? his field time is low, the shield (every other rotation if fast, every rotation if slow) can help with stagger resistance

[@rascalvo]

or........... just using her with a dendro with utility like baizhu or kirara with instructor and double down on her driving of fischl and beidou. That phys comp is just C2 furina + skyward blade refinements copium, i'm really surprised Jamie posted it, this is the bread and butter of click bait CCs

My friend, as a Keqing simp who was gonna skip Clorinde cuz I didn't wanna bench one of the two, you are the GOAT for making us discover this

[@randomgamer6774]

Now if only I lost to the skyward blade instead of the aquila favonia in the weapon banner :^)

[@GReyn]

While this looks fun and interesting.. But how do people get around qiqi energy requirements? Cuz i always remember that Qiqi main issue is her not being able to generate her own particles..

[@MarionFR]

bro... it's very simple. Put sac sword on her. You have enough healing from skill for a long time and just use burst if needed. She is like Fischl in this regard, you use one or another. Qiqi has zero problems with energy for her uptime. Community just hates on her and almost always tells nonsense from their ignorance.

[@kapeecoffee]

Hopefully there's a proper team for this kind of reaction in natlan. Physical driver Clorinde sounds fun

[@tufol33k78]

a CN run used C6 Furina, idk for Pigeon (not sure he showed), what cons is your Furina? Is this C0 Furina perf? if that's the case, it's pretty impressive for a team w/o Bennett, w/o Kazuha

[@lucasayabe]

He uses C0 Furina

[@kristengregory7014]

i just tried with C2 Furina and all but cleared in one rotation, my clorinde's Q is only level 5 i think if it was 8-10 it would clear in one rotation

[@Yuuki_Youtube]

My C5 qiqi: is for me?

[@_dah_bocah]

Why not showing full build bro 😭

[@silver.shoelaces]

Another team I’ve been using, which will work for those who don’t have Furina or Skyward Blade, is Clorinde/Mika/Yun Jin/Nahida. Mika increases Clorinde’s normal attack speed by a whopping 25% and both Yun Jin and Nahida are there to increase her damage output. Clorinde’s normal attacks are already super speedy so this makes it even better!

[@sageofsixpaths8392]

Also, atk goblet is better here because it also buffs the physical damage

[@jamiekb9v]

that seems to make sense, however it's worth pointing out i actually tried both atk and electro goblets and atk doesn't seem to clear any faster 😕 not sure

[@Larkian]

@@jamiekb9v should be better when optimized since it affects Skyward blade and the Elemental dmg would be coming from Furina but how much % difference would be unknown for now.

Skyward Blade - 'one of the worst weapons in the game' ...are you ok, bro??? It's most valuable weapon for Benny and Jean. Surely also good / useful for some other characters. No, those swords with higher base attack make only a tiny difference for Benny buff, they aren't better than Skyward Blade in the whole picture. No, it's not about just adding more ER on artifacts instead. Excess of energy can be super valuable. Besides this ridiculous nonsense about this great weapon, video is very nice and interesting, I appreciate 🌹
