Naming the new channel the same but 78 insteaf of 77 is so funny man

its so stupid but its effective haha. short and simple

actually why is the channel named 77?

Finally! An actually useful video about this game's mechanics. Rather than videos talking about the mathematically optimal dps sequences that are literally impossible to do because the enemies don't just stand still and do nothing.

[@RealQuarlie]

In a Jiyan-Mortefi-Verina Team, you don't want to start with Verina, because you usually always start with 0 Concerto on everyone (atleast in ToA, which will be the main place where you need to optimize to begin with anyway). When you switch over to Verina in battle, she already attacks with her BA 3, meaning you only need 2 more attacks to get her BA 5, which grants you a stack on your Forte, which gives you concerto energy and resonance energy, so that with the Variation weapon (her BiS so far), she can easily already start a chain of outro-intro skills (and get her buff). Mortefi is easily able to get his Concerto up this way, in which case you also get to Jiyan faster

@@robhans5 I expected to drop Wuwa as well but now that I've played it the potential of the combat with new characters is insane, so I'll stick to it. I expect ZZZ to be cool for a week or so, but then I probably drop it like HSR. I've heard ZZZ didn't have a lot of content in cbt and while the combat seems to be satisfying (especially the counter sound), it got repetitive/easy (with which I mean complexity is lacking) pretty quickly for some people, but we'll see.

What a coincidence! I just searched about energy related infos for wuwa couple hours ago, but there's not much info about it. There's only numbers showing in prydwen and thats it, no explanation. I also feel practically it can be differ based on situation and how our playstyle is. Thanks for the content and bravo for your new channel, Zajeff!

[@undeniablySomeGuy]

One complication to building Energy Recharge is that you don't always want to intro skill when you're swapping, especially for swap combos. Intro/outro can interrupt the rhythm of the combo and keep you from getting as much valuable field time as needed. Basically, plan around that.

[@R0x0r]

"i'm gonna call him Mortefy, I know it's not his real name, I don't care it's funny" but when it's about calling Gaming, Gaming instead of Ga-ming he gets his panties in a twist. Hypocrisy much?

[@ravyiel]

16 seconds ago is CRAZY

[@tinybabybread]

Heyo, just wanna clarify something You mentioned that the off-field chara gets 50% of whatever the on-field chara generates for thenselves. Does this mean the off-field charas will receive more ult energy if the turn n-field chara has more ER? or is the 50% solely based off of base generation and is only influenced by the off-field charas own ER Thanks!

[@LittleTilde]

It's always based on the base value. The on-field character will gain 100%, the off-field character 50%, multiplied with their respective ER.

[@Zajef77]

It's 50% of base generation, then each character multiplies it by their own ER. Your active character's ER won't affect your inactive characters' energy generation!

[@yurcchello]

not a word about third energy (one above health bar)

[@maxlastbreath]

Yinlin

[@Riokaii]

does ER from off field cahracters apply to the energy they generate while off field? So if Jiyan generates 20 Resonance energy, nromally Mortefi gets half of it so 10, but if mortefi (not Jiyan) has 200% ER, does Mortefi generate 20 Resonance Energy? or still just 10?

[@gamefun5497]

I wanted to know if energy recharge affects both liberation & concerto, and if energy recharge works for off field characters

[@brexcubo6766]

Where did you hid the others 76 zajefs, mister zajef78?

[@tdof7217]

Alternative title idea : "How to charge your ultimate faster" or something along those lines might be more appealing to people who dont already ask themselves about the energy, gets them into that aspect

[@krishnapratomo]

Wait, I'm already subscribed to it already? What was it name before?

[@sncspuddybuddy277]

it's a previously defunct shorts channel, used to be called "Zajorts" or something to that effect.

[@phongphamthanh5911]

wait you can swap cancel heron? doesnt that mean you lost the buff? because in the description, it clearly said AFTER the initial hit. By swaping and doing outro early, you lost the buff right?

[@Mugetsu192]

he tested this. first statement and second statement is not related. you get the outro buff regardless of the initial hit. the initial hit only gives additional resonance energy

[@BugCatLove]

LMAO ZAJOOF 78

[@HeshO-yi3hh]

But when you swap to cancel Jiyan and Mortefi echoes you lost Verina outro in both characters, it is a nerf from cbt 14:20

[@mebite839]

This is strictly false. Verina buff does NOT disappear after swapping, she is special. Other characters DO lose the outro buff, echo buff like Heron is lost on swap as well. However Verina buff is permanent for the duration no matter how many times you swap.

[@Mugetsu192]

maybe read actual skill description? it does not disappear nor that it specifically states that its lost upon switching characters.. the unit that does that is baizhi where it it lost upon switching.. stop spreading misinformation

[@Mordred_King]

Idk how you do it, my Mortefi has 150 ER and it takes forever to recharge the ult, i don't have S4 so maybe that's the reason xD

[@rsg_magfire]

My question is does the energy regen stat affect both concerto and liberation skill?

[@EinTheVariance]

7:09 why did you start talking abt building forte while showcasing concerto? Also, is it worth popping ult first instead of at the end of his rotation?

[@raweltz]

so does energy recharge affect concerto energy? my brain is fried

[@nikumilotic1333]

Oppa

[@sanjeevrai5563]

Make guide on yinlin😊😊

[@vanhdyuwu]

Does ER efficiency affect outro skill?

[@tyshen0329]

was skeptical about wuwa, but after actually playing the game, it's definitely more engaging than EQ swap gameplay using characters w/ oversized head proportion.

[@Nephale]

And the timer stops during bursts so there are no dps loss bursts. There can't be a zhongli situation.

[@theduelist92]

One thing i still can't understand is how characters build the bar for the intro skill....

[@Erik-vf9yn]

If you do an outro skill for one character, the character you switch to uses their intro skill automatically.

[@theduelist92]

@@Erik-vf9yn And wait, the small circle around the character portrait is just the concerto energy that the character has... Ohh, so you can't have an intro skill without an outro skill and vice versa, correct?

[@Mugetsu192]

​​@@theduelist92intro skill will activates as long as the concerto bar of the unit that performs outro is full meaning the next character's concerto bar does not matter nor it will be consumed upon using its intro skill

How to fill Mortefi's Concerto Gauge in 7-10 sec? I hate having to on field him for like 20 sec just spamming his basics

[@Zajef77]

His skill (the base one, not the forte one) grants him increased forte generation for 5s. This means you can do intro -> skill (intro+skill is enough forte to fill your bar) -> forte skill -> n4 -> forte skill. Add in your ult, and that's 100 concerto!

[@kuriito6151]

tl;dr??

[@szirsp]

When I started playing WuWa I was so confused about these energy mechanics... and I still am. So, if Concerto Energy is not affected by Energy Recharge, then why the f#*k is it called "Energy" at all!??? Why not call it Team Swap Meter, Switch Gauge... Mana... Social Anxiety... Concentration... anything but energy. And if there are only 2 kinds of energy, then what the f#*k is the bar above the health bar ??? (Forte stacks)

[@AyyAska]

I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of Mortefi. I try to play Jianxin. My Mortefi deals more damage. I try to play Encore. My Mortefi deals more damage. I try to play Calcharo. My Mortefi deals more damage. I want to play Jiyan. His best team has Mortefi. I want to play Rover, Danjin. They both want Mortefi. He grabs me by the throat. I farm Echoes for him. I grind for him. I give him Pistols#26. He isn't satisfied. I buy Thunderbolt. "I need more buffs", he tells me. "Give me more field time." He grabs and Verina and forces her to throw herself off enemies. "You just need to buff me more. I can deal more damage with Static Mist." I can't pull for Static Mist. I don't have enough Astrite. He grabs my credit card. It declines. "Guess this is the end." He grabs his guns. He says "Silence!" There is no hint of sadness in his eyes. Nothing but pure coordinated attack fusion damage. What a cruel world.

Bro just make WuWa content on this channel - it’s practically the same gacha community so there’s no point in making another channel specifically for WuWa - especially since your channel name isn’t linked to any particular game.

[@davidcarba7829]

Wiki ahh energy system. Each attack, skill, echo and combat action having it's individual friggin decimal value of energy generation attached (and hidden) is such garbage design, and particularly predatory considering it's attached to gacha content. Genshin also does quite a bit of oversimplification with it's elemental damage system but energy generation has instant visual feedback that anyone can understand and use: more particles = better energy. Once this game gets 60+ characters team building and stat balance is going to get beyond dank.

[@fat4eyes]

@@RavenShugo Not sure if serious or trolling because i met someone who actually enjoyed it. I needed multiple videos on 2nd screen as a distraction and it still felt like an eternity. The endless yapping didn't stop. I enjoyed yinlins in jiyans quite a lot. They were interesting. Lingyangs wasn't that great but the special dungeon and gameplay was actually good so it made up for it. Seriously that story dungeon was so pretty it almost excused the story.

[@RavenShugo]

@@Nephale someone enjoyed Nilou's quest? Damn, they must be entartained by paint drying.... Wuwa quests were ok, not great, but not bad. I think what was lacking is proper camera angles, or better movements of characters. Still it's much better, than same old 5 moves in genshin, where devs are so lazy, they just reuse them over and over again....
