Acheron. BTW: Crimson Knots = Higher DMG Multiplier on Ultimate (= more dmg, not just dmg bonus but an increase to your scaling/dmg), hope i made that clear. This video should've been out yesterday, but i messed up on the editing, oops. Hope the guide is helpful

Diluc Guide Debuff: When applied to enemies who has hydro or cryo, Diluc will show up and shout "Guoba, get them!" and summon a pyronado which will then instantly kill all the enemies on the field and also summons Zy0x, who will post the Diluc Guide after the pyronado's duration ends.

[@VitorAntas]

One small extra thing about her signature Light Cone's debuff is the fact that it is a guaranteed debuff, as it always inflicts the effect and totally ignores enemy effect res and yout effect hit rate. You're always gonna get the extra Slashed Dream/Crimson Knot stacks. That's pretty massive for Acheron's consistency.

Such a good in depth guide. Thank you Zy0x 👍

[@babypotato1032]

I just got her today and came straight to this guide😭🙏

[@dante19890]

one important thing to consider aswell is, You need to gear your supports in a specific way with specific lightcones. Your nihility wants pearls LC and your preservation character wants Trend LC to maximize her ultimate gain. She is a team effort that all amounts to a bit of more gacha than the average dps. Now that you have Acheron you are also forced to pull for the next 5 star nihility debuffer thats comming ,that is specific for Acheron.

[@Zy0x]

I covered that in the team section i believe but yes i 100% agree high speed supports helps so much, and certain light cones giving you bonus debuffs is really huge

[@dante19890]

@@Zy0x windset on the supports can be huge too

[@houdini9739]

@@Zy0xso i know high speed pearls pela is best but what sets would that entail? just hackerspace and whatever pieces have the most speed, or does she have any supportive sets that help acheron do more dmg?

[@vortexinfurnus5156]

@@houdini9739there’s not any great supportive 4 set besides Hackerspace 2p or Wind set 4p for more turn cycling, for 2p you can use Broken Keel or Xianzhou Fleet for a teamwide Crit Damage or Attack buff

[@raindah88]

Who is that specific nihility debufer comming?

[@silvinity4939]

I’ve been saving for this character (a Raiden expy) since this game came out a year ago. The only ones I pulled were Seele at launch as well as RM and Sparkle just recently. I went into her banner with 830 pulls. Not only did I e6s1 her but I got a bonus early Luocha too. I now need to farm resources for the next 20 years to actually level these characters.

[@shuadelossantos9397]

During the story quest where you can have Adventurine on your party, I have him and Acheron in my party, and I agree, he seems to be a really good support for her.

[@thrivexforty7167]

Those who not have any other nihility support for Acheron, Sampo is nice option, build him with speed and effect hit rate, his skills, normal ,burst all gets one stack for acheron

[@silver9177]

She is my first limited time banner. Started playing the game the last few months with Physical MC / March 7th / Asta / Natasha. Got her E1 S1 and going to E2

[@eigatwilight]

@Zy0x Yooo! Zy0x is an X Tier for this! Love the videos man. The way you explain + summarize Acheron build is insane. Me and my cousin had to have a 1 hr condensed convo about Acheron build.

[@hypernova1004]

I'm really enjoying Gepard using the trend LC with Acheron. Gepard part of his traces gets hit more often so it feels really good to use plus his freeze counts as a debuff. Only issue is not having a cleanse in your team can make it hard to clear some content

[@milchreis8311]

ooooh, I was quick on this one, now I just need Acheron

[@Aihana_Etsu]

Regarding the crimson knot stacks, I felt it was somewhat confusingly explained in the video, you DO need to be somewhat mindful of them, only the 3 targeted slashes of her ult can detonate these, the final slash removes all stacks but does not provide any benefit for doing so. As such, you want to try to ensure that your stacks are always applied in multiples of 3 for maximum output. Also worth mentioning, as long as an enemy has 2+ stacks of crimson knot, it is always more single target damage any given enemy than if you were to target a specific enemy that does not have any stacks. So if you want to kill 'Enemy_A', but 'Enemy_A' does not have any stacks, but 'Enemy_B' has 2+ stacks, you will still deal more damage to 'Enemy_A' by targeting 'Enemy_B' who has the stacks, than if you were to specifically target 'Enemy_A'.

[@kaz3453]

thank u for ur hardwork w this video !!!

[@TravelerSaniar]

About aventurine, we got to play trial aventurine in 2.1 story. He is a good solo sustain and he has a debuff on his ult and he can use the trend lc, but i still like fu xuan more for acheron. But it's just my opinion. I think overall he is better because he has a debuff

[@obeondo]

thnk u zy0x-chan

[@kaete_7]

I was ready to go for jingliu and prefarmed EVERYTHING and was on my 50/50 and once i got to try acheron i started to like her more than jingliu. Got her shortly before soft pity which made me so happy and am enjoying her gameplay so much. Trying to get her lc too.

[@veensaa]

[@WaterAlixy]

Thank you so much for the Guide (FINALLY A DILUC GUIDE) my acheron was doing 100-3000 dmg only now it’s huge

[@Ft_7assan_28]

The notification LITERALLY just popped out as i got her

[@beingme6078]

E0S0Acheron + E4Pela + Sampo with EHR 97% + Fu Xuan with universal market works well. I always use Sampo's basic atk for skill point management and Pela's skill for fast ult energy recharge for Pela.

[@frostfire6347]

Just one question, how does welt's sjg light cone fare against the best 4 star lightcone for archeron, since i happen to have both and silverwolf is using welt's sig right now?

[@OwtDaftUK]

Losing the 50/50 for her lightcones has created a chain of stealing cones. Acheron steals Pela's cones and so to replace that I stole the cone Sampo had for her and I think it's working out fine because I don't think my sampo was performing well anyways.

[@plasmancer6104]

Was so so so happy to have rolled her as my first 5 star... only to find out I have literally no one that she synergises with...

[@Kspice9000]

Black swan is also one of the few units that gives a stack for all actions: basic atk/skill/ult by default.

[@skykeeper7711]

I use Welt’s lightcone when running her with Sparkle and she out damages my Gnsw s3 since Sparkle gives her more turns so she utilizes the atk buff for her skill more.

[@kirovreporting3573]

Great video really, but is the clip where you get 1.1m damage with GNSW ? I have her and her lc but i am still building her, with 70/160 Cratio and 2 nihilities the highest number i have seen is 600k

[@Zy0x]

With GNSW I did 811k (10:49) & with her S1 Signature I did the 1.1M damage, in my personal clears.

[@kirovreporting3573]

[@juanesSK5]

I may have an idea with what you said but just to clarify, if I have E2S1 acheron is better to use speed boots or atk boots? (I would think speed but I want to see others opinion :,) )

[@xiaoandyoimiyasimp3193]

30:59 This team (with Ruan Mei) is UNDERRATED! I initially did it as a joke (my acheron doesn’t even have a 4pc set) but I 1 cycled the current MOC 12 first wave for the first time today and could easily 0 cycle if I didn’t get unlucky with cc. It is risky having absolute 0 sustain but I didn’t even have to reset during my multiple runs (trying different LC and such) as they all have the same agro and enemies only got to attack once.

[@bonkendabonken]

Didnt know they released a diluc expy in hsr, very cool!!

[@epitome-of-sin]

I got her E0S1 but lost 50/50 to Clara on Eidolon. I finally have a use for Clara’s LC and should be able to at least get E1 before banner is gone. She is so good and a different play style for me since I was using Blade & Jingliu for a long time. 10/10 character and my favorite, just gonna take a bit to get the team’s stats where it needs to be.
