ELLEN IS INSANE! Ultimate Guide & Showcase! Best Teams, W-Engines, Drives and MORE! 

A couple updates since making this guide: 1. For Bangboos, both Butler and Sharkboo are good. Penguinboo is good in the early game. 2. Everyone will get Soukaku for free, so ignore the part where I talk about if you don't have Soukaku. 3. For talent priority, after using her a lot more on launch, despite it sheeting low in an optimal rotation, in practice I recommend leveling her Dodge (dash/scissors) after her Basics and/or Chain. This is where practicality and calcs differ. 3. 🦈

Ngl this game caught me off guard, i like it way more than i thought i would.

watching this makes me realize how much i don’t know how to play this game at all

12:46 Soukaku is free via the shiyu defense btw, so everyone will have her

Short hair, maid outfit. And most important, SHARK TAIL!!!! I found my dream girl

I’m so glad that they enabled the game to have framerates greater than 60. Been loving the game with the smoother refresh rate.

I dolphin'd for shark, lost my first 50/50 to Lycaon, and picked up M6 Soukaku in the process. Fate has spoken, I guess I know what team I'm building lol.

I manage to pull her finally on my 80th attempt! Although I wasn't so lucky with her weapon sadly but I wont complain is a miracle that being totally f2p player manage to get her on her 50-50. Thanks for the guide!

Trigger dash -- Charged -- Spam Basic -- Spam E -Sincerely,someone who doesn't know wtf is going on

Never been into either sharks or maids but combined with perpetually-exhausted-yet-chill-around-friends gen-Z vibe? I was immediately sold. Super fun to pilot as well. HoYo knows their shit.

Leveling Ellen’s Dodge also scales her charged attacks’ damage and daze application pretty significantly (which usually isn’t properly reflected on damage breakdowns) so I’d put it at a slightly higher priority than her Special Attack. While Sharknado hits as hard as her B3 in a shorter timeframe, it doesn’t actually scale off of anything else in her kit. It’s also not always available, nor is it optimal to always use it even if it were. The increased multipliers from leveling her Special Attack just don’t have the potential to impact the fight as often, as easily, nor as passively as the boost to her charged attacks. In my opinion, the most valuable thing about her E is the instant B3. It’s much more noticeable than the skill damage itself because it has allowed me to close out many fights earlier than I should have. I’d still level the skill eventually if I had materials to spare, though.

Just pulled Ellen! I love how Hoyo designed her game play. Sharks sink if they aren't moving and Ellen has to move to gain flash freeze stacks. It makes me excited for their future creative designs!

I got ellen and lycaon from 40 pulls, pulling for her w engine. I cant believe i got so lucky

that bite loop had me fascinated good call on putting that under your explanation.

Lost the 50/50 to soldier 11 on my first multi. Still pulling for Ellen.

Yooo best guide ive found. Had my butt go back to training mode! Greatly appreciate this guide

LETS GOOOO!! so excited to try and pull for her

I got her in my first 10 pull so I... lol i wish. Needed 2 x 70+ pulls to get her, now aiming for the weapon, hope I wont lose again if it works like this. Still good a usefull guide, defiently gonna use this to play her better.

OMG, THANK YOU honestly. I got her but I can't seem to work her "flash freezer" until I watched this. 😅

The unlimited FPS CHANGED EVERYTHING, extremely helpful for frame parry/dodge game like this

Game's animations are looks cool. I never tried the games other than open world RPGs and game like god of war, Tomb raider series but will try it after sometimes. And your videos are always clean and informative. Kudos to you. I am seeing so many hate comments and i can understand some of them but i feel like many of them never even tried the game but just spouting some nonsense with the videos they were watching and the informations they were heard from others. This game is targeted for different audiences. something you don't like it may loved by someone. What you guys making were not a constructive criticism but a plain hate.

I already have ellen, accidentally got SS on x10 and im so shocked to get 2 ellen !! like what?!?!?!?! Now my problem is what is her rotation now since c2 makes a different.. also c1 for stacking.

You are truly what a content creator should be, very informative and funny,,, great video keep it up :)) I have a question, can I put (lycaon -suk - ellen ) in this order or ellen should be first ?

great and insightful vid as always! would it be possible to make a vid comparing ellen to the next limited character? i doubt ill get her and her wengine so i was thinking of full saving to hopefully guarantee the next limited and their wengine!

I lost the 50:50 to Rina as f2p q_q is it worth to keep pulling or should I better wait now? My starter 5 star was Koleda

I've been watching your content since early Genshin days, this is by far the best ellen guide i've come across and i've watched many. thank you keep up the good work

Nice gameplay at the end!

Without Lycaon if I have Soukaku and Rina. Is it viable to go 1 damage and 2 suppirt with Ellen Soukaku and Rina or should I really use a break (Anby)?

Omg I got her in my first 10 pull! Literally the first time this has happened in any gacha. I mean I deserve it after losing my first 4 50/50’s in HSR. 😮🎉

knowing how to play Lycaon is one of the way to maximize her dmg cuz his impact building is insane! note; Lycaon Special is holdable and it do much more stagger point and it give you

I was Saving for Miyabi ,i wanted some soukaku Cons but Got her in a 10 pull so i came here, didn't want her so I will Still Build Her as F2P would. Hope she still deals Decent Dmg with a low Inv build(lmao i think my C1 Rina is gonna be Useful for someone else of diff element)

I got Ellen by pure luck on my first 10 pull so now I’ve been trying to build her so thanks for the guide!

Just got Ellen after having Lycoan and Soukaku on launch! Thank you for the recommendations

Hi nice job on the vidéo ! I just pulled Ellen, what do you think should be the priority: getting her W-engine or getting Lycaon ?

So, I finally got Ellen's W-Engine today, but I am a bit confused on the text. Basic attacks give you a crit rate buff, and then dash attacks give you an ADDITIONAL crit rate buff, but then at the end it says each value is calculated separately. Does it matter what order I attack in to get the buffs? Do I HAVE to do a basic attack and then dash attack to activate the 20% total crit rate buff? Or, can I do the loop you're meant to do with Ellen and dash attack first, and then basic?

Got her first muti I’m not gonna spend until they bring out a penguin fr

Got Tina and Ellen off the banner off 4 Multics it’s feels good

what bangboo is the best for her? my team consists of ellen, lycaon and soukaku. I don't have rina should I go with butler or sharkboo?

The game has been so nice to me.. they gave me lycaon as my first 5* then i got a 5* engine for him too.. then i got c6 soukaku then ellen came home 😅😅

I just kept hearing lightcone instead of Lycaon 😆

IWTL would you do these vids for the standard 5 stars too?

abput the roaming hunt part, what do you mean double right click, when I press double rmb nothing happens

bro thank you for the tutorial i love u bro

i got the Wolf man so now i have to get her

so my accidental c1 lycaon is actually useful?

is anyone having the same problem of stuck at verifying file integrity? I tried absolutely everything to fix it

stuck with this game a little longer and it’s grown on me - trying to wait on pulling Ellen until second half of 1.1 is revealed

i dont have lycaon what is a good alternative for now??

IM PREPARED TO GET LYCONE!! I just use rina for now :[ I was already running ellen rina and soukaku anyway

Got Ellen, lucked into her weapon trying for Anton's. NOW WHERE IS MY WOLF MAN

Got her in 20 pulls. Now I'm aiming for her w engine

why is doge and sou whatever her name not switched in position is daze note better?

Evil Gura

Does anyone know the Damage formulas for ZZZ? Both for Anomalies and Crits.

they need to fix the issue with the exploration quest, you literally can't move after you pick up that weight thing, you can't even get to the switcvh.

I got get S1 in 20 pulls. Very glad since all her 4 star options seem lackluster.

hi @iwintolose are you planning to do live stream for Imaginary Theater?

I've seen ppl playing Mono Ice with Ellen taking the most field time even when the boss isn't stunned, can someone enlighten me on why do they play like that? What is the purpose of a Stun unit if they aren't used to stun but just to debuff like Lycaon?

I feel like order is wrong, why wouldn’t you put stun first support second and atk third, the regular switches are far better in terms of stun to break support to buff alter to atk

Can you swap Anby for Rina? I got Rina from the free standard pulls instaed of Lycoan :')

I got lycaon in 4 pulls, ellen in 20 and brimstone in 7. Not bad :P Also got lycaon's wengine at standard pity.

i dont have lycanon. will it be ok to use coleda or it be better to use anby? like ellen-coleda/anby-soukaku

Where did u find that W-engines table?

what is the perfect ratio for the crit rate and dmg??

I got an ad for ZZZ Ellen Joe

i got ellen in my first pull

i have both ellen and von, its like the game wants me to use her

I got rina instead of lycaon. Currently just slapping 2 supports + ellen, idk if that was a good idea or not

I got two lycoan and 5 star engine for stunner, think i will use that account and try to pull for ellen. My other acc has ellen and soakaku m6 but no lycoan. 😅

I'm using anby and the puppet maid puppet maid doesn't buff ellen at all outside of weapons and artifact sets but she does buff anby a lot and anby can deal respectable damage plus this way everyone is smiling I need lycaon tho

Any advice on bangboo?

Darnn i just got my second pity in standard and was manifesting lycaon but instead i got his weapon. Welp im gonna have him in the selector in 1 year 💀

I don’t have the wolf guy but rina instead, what is the best replacement for him?

I wish i could get into this game as I like Ellen's design, but guess Ill have to live through videos like this haha

for a f2p that already got ellen, do you recommend to try and get her weapon? or just save for future characters?

I’m pulling for her weapon, already got E6 soukaku and with koleda she is amazing and I like the variety of combos, nekomata is cool but she’s quite boring to play.

What would you recommend between her C1 and sig weapon?

got her on my 3rd pull, i am extremely happy rn

What should my skill priority before ellen?

i accidentally got her on 1st ten pull , and here i am

Despite lycoan being my favorite character. It's to great to know that he'll have a find a nice home with Ellen. This guide was extremely informative.

Can you do an Piper or Lucy guide please 🥺

Please can somebody explain her kit to me in genshin terms i begging you, and in terms of strength how strong she is?

Finally got her today after losing my pity with C1 nekomata..

Bro I just tried to pull for her banner just because but got her on the 1st 10 pulls same with Sharkboo🦈

How do I get Ellen?

You could say Lycaon is Ellen's best in slot "lightcone"

1:22 Im pulling if that 1st hit basic attck sounds like that

I hope i got her

Even without her signature w-engine she still slaps hard.

dayum, I got the whole team except for Ellen

Thisbreminds me of that one character on tower of fantsay ice girl buy dual blade

what about bangboo for team? shark or butler?

i have her and her sig weapon but i guess im just using her without knowing anythiny at all lmao

Would Grace work instead of Lycaon?

you made a whole ass code for this video?? iwtl effort is insane

There is no free limited Baner 10 pull

Ellen, Rina, Soukaku. Will this option work?

My ZZZ is still downloading 😭

As an ftp I’m happy I’m lucky and got the three fury team
