great guide. just a suggestion. i think it's better to say "basic atk/ basic skill and ultimate skill instead of "E". this game is multi-platform. not everyone are playing on pc :)

[@TimaeuSS]

[@legacymse7095]

If you’re invested to the point where you’re watching a guide about animation cancel and quick swapping, what the hell are you still doing on mobile? You’re not gonna be able to do that anyway. I think it’s not a stretch to say that most meta players are on pc

[@eclairgamingtoxoidmusic7402]

This. I'm still trying to figure out what E is.

[@meebeepup]

Oh my gosh! Thank you for the shoutout, this is wild 🎉🎉🎉 Actually, I talked with another content creator, Maygi, who let me know that there’s another combo that has been a lot easier for me. It fits in 3 E’s in exchange for removing one chain of 4A’s. It’s: R -> E -> 4A / dash cancel -> 1A -> E -> 4A / dash cancel -> 1A -> E -> Hold I’m Ngl I’m not sure abt the damage difference, but I think it’s incredibly hard nonetheless to execute any combo perfectly, as you mentioned in the video

[@nightycross5706]

Hey, I just received 2 Encores, but trying to emulate this, I don't know why, my R doesn't stay that long, is it only my mind or are there some key skills to level first?

[@meebeepup]

@@nightycross5706hey congrats on C1, to my knowledge leveling the ultimate doesn’t actually lengthen its duration. I know it’s so so hard, which part do you think you’re struggling with? For me it’s timing the dash cancel after her fourth hit, but idk if that’s the same for u

[@gracec116]

I have the opposite issue, I'm able to land the combo so consistently that it's not even close to frame perfect. Which might mean I'm missing something

[@nightycross5706]

@@meebeepup Thanks for your reply. Finally, I understood that cancelling the last move of the basic combo is truly necessary. But most of the time I have to do only one basic combo because some dodge or hit, so I can use the forte inside the ultimate window. Right now, I'm struggling because even having the team builded, my Jianxin/Danjin/HavocRover is much more versatile and powerful.

[@ROFLWAFFLELAWL4]

I love that I can go from Encore + Sanhua swaps with splashes of Baizhi for crazy swap cancel techs or I could just solo bosses as Danchi hovering at 1% of my health. What's crazier? Both feel just as good to play and are just as effective. It's the first gatcha game ever where I blew through the released content within the first few days of launch. Often I'll tire out mid way and come back in the next big patch but this time I was just having so much fun with the exploration and combat, next thing I knew I was done with the current content (story wise). Encore was my first pull off Jiyans banner and have been using nothing but her with Sanhua on one team and Danchi + Rover (Havoc) in another team.

[@ardee9337]

This is what I love about WuWa's combat, all the craziest, coolest and flashiest stuff players can do are not fully hidden behind how much you spent on the character, but instead most of it depends on how good you are at playing and knowing the intricacies of the combat system. I feel like this game could only become so much better as time passes by

[@Natsuke1104]

Encore was contemplating life because you guys always go 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@DelosLogicc]

Just a tip for people aren't sure sometimes when they need to heavy attack after getting hit. In a normal rotation after res liberation, you get to use 3 res skills and 2 NA strings. When you press res skill as soon you enter burst mode, you can use the CD as a timer to know how long you are in burst. The skill is 4s in burst mode.The first skill use means 10-9secs remaining, 2nd means 6-5ses and 3rd means 2-1sec. I say this cause sometimes when we get interrupted, we panic heavy attack because we think we gonna run out of time and miss the optimal window to use the heavy attack. Of course, this only works if you are interrupted while the skill is on cooldown, but i still hope it helps some of you.

[@legacymse7095]

Yeah thanks! I wish the game was more clear about that. The only hint you get are the demon horns around your concerto gauge starting to blink. So basically you heavy attack after the third skill

[@valencio7133]

When you hold heavy attack while you have 1s left on the ulti, does the heavy attack get snapshotted? Even if you swap cancel?

[@DelosLogicc]

@valencio7133 I'm not too sure never tried to notice it, but I would have to use mortefi to test that and see if her DOT in the heavy goes down

[@charms7232]

Haven't watched yet but thanks for the Encore guide! Bunny Soda can't come soon enough for my Maid Privaty team.

[@nonessss2810]

Swapping is really good in this game... I've never felt a millisecond where my character pauses after swap before I get to move again.

[@MrArrow54]

i have an issue with baizu where if she swaps in without an intro skill she takes a second to summon the botan thing. I'll try to call her in and use the aoe basic skill to heal and she won't recognize the prompt cause she summons instead.

[@AIejam]

​@@MrArrow54 isn't that just her kit?

[@MrArrow54]

@@AIejam I wouldn't say its part of her kit so much as its a quirk of her fighting style. She relies on a summons so her reaction time coming out of a switch is slow. It still seems like a glitch since she doesn't log the input and simply use the skill after she summons instead she just ignores the prompt entirely. When you intro to her she pops out with the summons active I'm not sure why it is that when you switch to her without the skill she suddenly needs to re-summon him every switch. When i switch to a melee character i don't need to wait for them to draw their weapons.

[@weatherinme6882]

@@MrArrow54 thats why i feel that she is worse than verina by a sizeable margin. With verina at least when she swaps in without intro, it starts her off at the 3rd basic atk so you can just atk twice more to get the 5th atk forte gauge. or you can just skill or echo before swappin back to encore in time for the e. But with baizhi, the end lag and active frames are horrendous. Can't even get the turtle echo or a skill off in time

[@MrArrow54]

@@weatherinme6882 ya her quick swap and cancel swap potential sucks. And the lag makes her bad to quickly jump in pop a heal and switch out. Im hoping we get a better second option for healer cause the drop from verina to baizu is steep.

[@FranklinSteele]

I love watching games like this evolve over time. In this case, it's been fun for people to realize that Encore isn't bad because of the long charge time of her heavy attack. If anything, it's that charge time that makes her so viable in this swapping strat. Great video.

Yang yang and Jianxin are super underated. If people knew how broken grouping is, then they would never say they are bad characters.

[@johnsonnguyen1374]

at the end you can probably do a triple skill swap back from her heavy attack

[@peanutz0z]

I KNOW that those 2 grouping lady can work well with encore, especially with multiple enemy

[@peanutz0z]

but ppl dont really recognize it yet, maybe cuz they focuz on increasing her damage that mostly used for single target bosses

[@nonessss2810]

Is that Jianxin? Is she better as a hybrid sub dps or support?

[@karashuun1083]

​@@peanutz0zNot enough resources. Building my 1st team plus 1 other DPS is already depleting my resources.

[@haruusami1831]

@@nonessss2810 Depends whether you have Verina or don't want to use Baizhi, but Jianxin is definitely a hybrid sub dps, you use her ULT for pulling/Extra Damage and change to main dps if Outro/Intro is avail. then blast the enemy with your main DPS Ult especially better if the main dps is heavily reliant on their ULT for big damage aka Calcharo,Rover.

[@Tissuestrash]

⁠​⁠@@karashuun1083 well the good thing about this game is you can switch off echos and weapons mid tower run so you can swap off ur echos from ur sub dps and support since all sub dps and supports use the same echo sets so you really only need to built 2-3 sets for the dmg dealers

[@zerioification]

How much exactly can the swap in character do in between her skill? I just started practicing, but so far I'm always too late for her second part of her skill. It seems like Sanhua only got to do her intro? 3:08

[@hada1538]

her skill timing is quite tight, you're possibly only getting most char intro or skill/echo and not both of them

[@yahikonightray5398]

I like how your tone chanhes thru the vid. Like subs😂

[@nimmero]

Man I love those intros 😂😂

[@droogeydroogey8950]

Would have been useful to show the optimal rotation with the sanhua verina team, since the swapping would be different to take advantage of verina buffs and sanhua outro

[@denysanchez1576]

Yep i was thinking about that cause if Encore enters after Sanhuas outro, use E and swap again to Sanhua, she will loose the outros buff, right?

[@denysanchez1576]

Maybe the combo is making the first swap before Sanhua charged her outro making the second swap gives the buff to Encore

[@imanzulkarnaian8528]

Calcharo guide next plsssssssssss

[@denysanchez1576]

Doing that cancels doesn't Encore loose the buff that Sanhua gives her with the outro skill?

[@rakumairu]

[@italomorais9424]

Jianxin next, please.

[@yuugael4010]

Daym I got her in the first random but I'll stick to my JIyan maybe someday after I build havoc

[@KazekoRyu]

I mean it's really cool but is entirely sacrifing the outro skill buffs really worth it?

[@O_RLY]

As always, it depends. In the example shown in the video, absolutely yes. He was hitting like 5 enemies so that's like 5x more damage. Giving up grouping for buffs would probably be around +50% to 1 or 2 enemies. Bring outro buffs vs bosses and grouping vs mobs.

[@SeravySensei]

Nice.... but I don't have enough resources to raise a second damage dealer to have a reason to swap...

[@darenh355]

Debating between getting verina for meta and comfort or jianxin for waif. Tis hard

[@legacymse7095]

The only nerf I’ll accept is for Encore to shut the hell up every time you sprint. She’s 10 times louder than everyone else. Massive damage to my ears

[@mattheusspoo]

Confused by your team recoomendations. You show Yangyang with Jianxin, but then say Sanhua is her best team, but don't mention the 3rd member? Also, why does Prydwen say Encore's best team is Havok Rover and Jianxin?

[@lostplushii]

Yangyang is great sub-dps support during the mob stage in ToA, it makes the rotation far easier because of her energy regen outro and also a great gatherer

[@rhaelsura96]

[@leediaz5690]

Can you also make a video about her against uninterruptible enemy like bosses?

[@lancelotdulac8993]

You would always almost prioritize dodging/parrying the mechanics for boss enemies, otherwise you get punished/die if you are underleveled. leaving less time for dps window. executing the full combo during shield break would be the typical gameplay, unless you have memorized the boss patterns knowing where the full combo can be executed on a case-to-case basis
