How Many 5 Star C6s are ACTUALLY Broken 

Zhongli C6 defender tears taste the same as I remember.

As someone with a C6 Nahida, you really do not need to do triple EM at C6. She will already have enough EM with her weapon and her C4. This means that she is absolutely broken. Her C6 melts even the most powerful of enemies in just a couple seconds. Edit: to the random dude who came under here to talk about how Yelan is better and proceeded to call me several incredibly rude terms (which RU-vid seems to have automatically removed), get a life. Touch grass for like 1 second.

Btw for those who dont know, venti c6 is the same as the traveller anemo c6, making it by far the worst constellation, because at least you dont have to spend money for traveller c6

the nice thing about c6 zhongli is that you can play full DPS Zhongli and not have to worry about shield strength because of all the constellation buffs and any damage you do take is healed

The problem with Childe's C6 is that his ranged burst is infinitely more useful since it gives you back energy and applies riptide, which is why it's typically cast at the _start_ of your combo. Other than nuking, his melee burst just isn't that practical, and if you're already tryharding enough to nuke with Childe's melee burst, you're probably already doing optimal rotations at which point C6 is useless.

At c6 single Yae turret shot does almost as much damage as half of her burst. You can literally find footage of each of her turrets hitting for 200k each when she is fully buffed.

If you on-field Nahida you want a dendro dmg cup and crit circlet. In fact, even at C0, the difference between the aforementioned build and a full EM build is not that much different for an on-field Nahida. And if you C6 her, you want to on-field her as a spread carry. Not to mention, Nahida is a very flexiable unit. I think all C6’s have some nuance to them. Because once you get them, the role of certain characters just change. You are no longer using the same rotations that people with C0 units use. C6 of DPS units are easier to judge than that of supports and of-field damage dealers. Because once you C6 the latter, they may become a different beast. And also, the C6 allows for different play style depending on how you want to build that character. But, on a side note, for some characters it is a straight up damage increase which doesn’t change their role in the team.

"Shehe's C6 has no character who can take her to truest potential" C6 Ayaka: am I a joke to you?

Putting aside how broken they are, in most cases I think someone who C6's a 5* REALLY likes that character and wants to play them on-field more, so I think any C6 that can benefit that character's damage or other effects when they're on the field is a pretty good one, especially if that character is usually an off-field support/sub-dps. Yelan, Nahida, Kazuha and Kokomi in my opinion are prime examples of this, and to a lesser extent Ayaka and Ayato as well. Eula I feel is a constellation that isn't meant to make you deal more damage, but to give you the option to swap her off and insta-proc her burst before the enemy you're trying to hit jumps or TPs away, which is a HUGE QoL imo

As someone who has Nahida C6, it’s 100% broken, with it she can be easily used as the on field dps character, her optimal build with her weapon is EM/Dendro/Crit, shoot for around 850 EM because her C4 gives up to 150 EM, and she’ll get a bonus of 24% crit rate from her passive, so as long as you have somewhere around 30:140 crit you’d should be good to go

14:30 the moment I realize you're a Genshin RU-vidr not a theorycrafter. *Very* often Nahida's BiS is Kagura's Verity. The only reason she often has an EM instead of Dendro Goblet is because her A4 already gives 80 damage%- not many people have C6 Nahida, but much like Yelan who is a powerhouse often relegated to an off field position, it takes just a small change in playstyle to make this into an absolute front loaded nuke.

Characters' C6 i'm interested in (in order): Kokomi, Yelan, Yae, Raiden. Welkin-only with occasional BP, so may take a while to get there.

Ayaka C6 is not broken. BUT, I also think it's undervalued. It's true value comes from letting you erase weaker enemies without using her burst. It makes her more useful in the overworld(consider it like Yelan's barb shot), and for multi waves of enemies. The caveat is that you do also need Shenhe to really bring out it's potential. (yes, I'm a C6 haver)

Everyone overestimates Zhongli's C6. It's capped at like 40% of his shield strength (because the shield breaks) which is around 40% of 12-15k HP, and it depends on the enemy hitting you hard enough, which they usually don't. It won't break his Hu Tao compatibility.

There's a quick thing about your Kazuha one, Kazuha C6 actually triples his DPS even when he is used as a swap support with the same build. It's actually quite broken and also makes him a MUCH MORE better driver, while he is already good at that. In Kazuha Mains calculations, which i helped on doing those, we actually find it being one of the strongest c6 options to get since it already makes an amazing character at c0 even better. You couldve put him in a higher tier, maybe slightly higher than Hu Tao's -w-

Don’t forget that nahida gets crit rate and dmg% from stacking em and on field she will get like 200 extra em so at c6 investment for sure you are using a dendro gob and crit dmg circlet, her c6 hits like a meteor. It’s like babby yelan at front loading damage.

From what i have seen about Ayato's C6 i believe the extra slashes were able to activate echoes of an offering,boosting the slashes and the regular attacks themselves,also a more consistent hydro application? Do the extra slashes work with echoes anyone?

as a xiao main that's trying to save up wishes to get him to c6, i'm so happy to see that his c6 is so strong (i currently got 250+ wishes saved up and let's say his rerun is during lantern rite. i'll have a lot more wishes when that time comes)

Shenhe C6 and Ayaya C6 are really OP together cuz my Ayaya does 20k per slash with her charge attack when she is buffed by Shenhe (27k with Bennett). But Shenhe's buff doesn't last long so its pretty hard to keep up even with a extra skill. But Shenhe's buff will now last for 10-15 secs and Ayaya's charged attack gets a buff enough to make it as strong as a truck. I think with Shenhe and Ayaya at c6 Ayaya's charge attacks will be more stronger than the burst.

As a Childe main since his first banner, I know perfectly well how little his C6 actually changes about him. I'm still going for it, partially because I started saving for his C3 so long ago that I now simply have enough Primogems to try :D Mainly just want C3 and C5 though

I love Itto’s c6 so much, I’ve never regretted getting it. Because of him I’ve 36* every abyss cycle. I think the most damage ive done with him is 373k ushi and 148k per slash against the lvl 90 raiden boss using food buffs and zhongli, c6 gorou and mona

Actually C6 Ayaka is very useful in abyss because it can clear waves of enemies without having to use her burst. And u get to save Ur burst for the next wave

10:20 *Ayaka screaming in the distance*

Itto's C6 I think should be higher (I know it's alright high but it's busted). Assuming anyone who has C6 will also have their weapon, so right there he has about 140 CD? Add a CD circlet and you have 240CD plus some minor CD rolls and mainly CR rolls you have probably 270CD With around 60-70 CR from his Ascension stat. NOW you take into account your team build which might be: Itto, Zhongli, Gorou, Bennet and you have around 3K ATTACK during ult. AND THEN you have his C1 which gives him 2 more stacks after ults starts to guarantee 7 hits, then the C6 could make that 10+ hits. - 3000ATK - 70 CR - 270 CD (C6 Gorou makes this 310, which you probably have considering C6 Itto takes around 700 pulls?) - Geo res shred from 2x Geo I just consider these are whale users if they have a C6 already

Doesn't yae get like 300% more dmg from her cons how is that not broken?

Re: Nahida C6. It's definitely much better in quicken teams (since that's when you're building nahida for her personal damage) and it's really good front loaded damage to tact on but yeah otherwise in bloom teams it's just a Nice thing that you don't have to think about since you're already aa-ing with her

Funny thing with Nahida's Seed of Skandha, you can already have more than 8 existing marks at once In fact it can even mark more than 8 enemies at once with a tap E for some reason the 8 enemy restriction ONLY exists with the hold E alone

As a welkin only player I can’t wait to eventually c6 itto one day because of how cool he is and as a bonus his c6 is absolutely amazing! On his rerun I was uh shafted pretty hard coming out with 2 failed pitys and a single constellations meaning I just got his c1 but I’m still hopeful

Zhongli is the co-op archon.

You need to do a part 2 on these types of videos for the new characters after Nahida. I think somewhere around Natlan should be ok, you'll have plenty of the new 5* to talk about ++

I quit being f2p and C6 R5 Yelan just because her mommy design and how busted her C6 are.Not to mention her weapon is very universal

do a review for all of Wanderer's cons when he's out! The % damage increase detail was a nice way to help undertand the impact of a particular cons to the overall DPS

I've heard that for Xiao's, there's sometimes some targeting/usability issues, the E *has* to hit 2 enemies in order to activate, and is also not easy to use either. There's a long list of pros and cons to this thing, it's busted on paper but you have to actually work for it. I'd only like to point out the Ayaka C6 + Shenhe setup, it takes it up to another level.. if I'm understanding Ayaka's C6 correctly, then the Icy Quills damage boost is being amplified by that 298% Charged Dmg %. So for Nahida.. she's often times played more as the on-field driver, which lowers her EM requirements in the first place. I know if I slap her onto my Nilou team, I don't even have to run the EM sands if I don't want to (getting +440 EM between her own burst, Nilou's key, and Nilou's Ascension 1). For a lot of people, they can just run their Nahida targeting 800 EM (asc stat for 115, weapon for 265, Sands for 187.. and then an average of 60 EM on each of the other pieces, not even factoring team buffs to lessen this amount) and end up with EM sands + dendro goblet + Crit circlet. As for the C6 itself.. the closest comparison is probably Yoimiya's C6, due to how it follows standard ICD, that said, it's probably close to a 25-30% total personal DPS increase for on-field Nahida.

Shenhe's C6 is great with C6 Ayaka. It makes her C6 hits a nuke.

C6'd Childe as soon as his first rerun arrived. Never regretted it x3

I'm curious, would you ever do a "Best 4 Star C1/2/4/6"? since they're less *broken* than 5 star characters? Regardless of your answer, I love your content! Yet another amazing and informative video.

I think the best use of Shenhe C6 is Ayaka's CA since each of the three slashes on Ayaka CA does use up one quill and in situations where you're hitting multiple enemies with it, that means you get to keep the Icy Quill buff for all of that. Also as a C6 Ayaka haver I will agree it's kinda useless. But it's so funny that it exists as a C6 and like some other 5☆ C6 it allows you to get away with suboptimal builds.

i have kokomi c6 and my normal attacks went from 6k hydro to 10-12k hydro but the clam set went from 25k pop to 40k pop. thats a huge boost. She does so much dmg

I laughed so much during the video while it being very informative :) thank you for making my day better I knew most of it and I am almost f2p but it was still fun to watch :)

Worth noting that Kazuha c6 does also enable him to play as a taser driver as before c6, Sucrose would outclass him in that regard since as a catalyst user she already has infused normal attacks. Now this very much isn't worth spending money for because why spend thousands of dollars to do something a 4 star can already do at c0 but it does align closer to how Kazuha plays normally.

I agree with Raiden C6 points. Since most use Raiden C2+ as on-field carries, it's really weird they designed C4 and C6 to not personally buff herself at all. But yeah, perhaps someday there will be an interesting synergy. Sometimes I just like playing my Inazuman electro women trio so it actually does help with Sara and Yae's for smoother rotations.

This may be very wishful of me but I really wish when a character banner drops and we get a trial version, it would be nice if we could try their different constellations to see if we like it. Generally if someone is c6ing a character they’ll do it regardless I guess, but for example Xiaos constellation6 makes him totally different to play. I’m too pleb to actually seriously consider getting it but I also kind of want to see if I’d even like playing it at all.

9 months later, a certain upcoming character in 4.1 knocking at Shenhe's door:

Great video! Just a ui suggestion to help make your videos better coming from a graphic designer/typographer-don’t have those call-outs (the banners that make a cranking noise with an exclamation mark and move on-screen) cover the constellation descriptions or anything you want read on screen. Your viewer will be trying to read the constellation description but then it gets covered and leaves the viewer distracted. I would reposition those or think of a different scale or format in which you make them. Thanks! Love watching your vids!

For nilous c6 it solves blooms single target problem and you would use her onfield it’s super crazy

As far as Eula's C6 goes, it isn't just about making big number bigger, but also about making big number faster. With it, you can swap out of Eula before the time runs out, while still doing the same damage as before.

I have a C0 Nahida and with a second 1k EM teammate like Raiden you only need ~750-800 EM on her to reach 1k on-field. This enables me to run a Dendro Goblet and Crit Rate helmet. She already hits like a semi truck, even though I don't have great crit substats, because my EM artifacts are mostly trash, sooo... yeah.

I have C6 Ayaka!! Her C6 isn't earth shattering, but it is fun. One of the people on my friendslist has a really great Shenhe and between their Shenhe and Bennett and my Ayaka and Kazuha, one of Ayaka's charged attacks hit for a little over 100k. It takes a bit of time to "reload" though, so like... It does give you extra damage but not by much. And the effect will clear even if you don't deal damage, like if you use it on an Abyss Mage shield. Then you have to wait 10 more seconds. It's not broken, but I'd say it's just a bit more to the right from the middle. Very fun and satisfying, but not much more than that.

I hate to be a Zhongli C6 defender, but having this constellation effectively removes de need for a healer, emptying 1 slot in your party, making tons of new comps avaliable. No other character is this versatile. He is literally in all my comps except for Raiden National.

C6 shenhe is one of the best and most future-proof cons ever. Also, as a C6 Nilou haver, I can freely admit that her constellations really give her the upgrade she needs regarding viability as the main DPS - be it bloom comp or any other comp. It may not be broken, but out of all cons, it gives the most profound upgrade to make an actual inviable unit decent.

Idea for follwoing up on this series: Every unit that releases, “How broken are Wanderer’s constellations?” and you place them within the frame

Childe's c6 is perfectly fine coz with c6 you also get every other constellation that backs 1 ranged at the start and 1 melee at the end of his rotation. Add his signature bow that needs the character to use burst, skill, charged and normal AA, it's a perfect but expensive match.

The Eula explaination was gold😂

I want to say, ayato's c6 is way better than you might think. It lets you get the monster to half hp way before to take advantage of your hp passive. On aoe situations this also means you can one shot a whole mob on your first hit to make the next mob instantly appear to get slaughtered. Its a very good const that makes his whole kit snowball as he gets stronger with enemies at half hp and he is already such a good aoe dps at default. The c6 cranks his aoe up pretty signficantly imo and his single target becomes very, very good. He can also nuke with it pretty hard if that's your thing Your hp passive could very well be a 100% uptime instead of him barely taking advantage of it in 1 rotation

As someone who is a C6 Childe main I agree that it’s definitely not necessary to get cons unless u really want to. I mained him at C0 for more than a year and he did not disappoint ^^ what I do like about C6 is the flexibility of being able to use melee even more, which is my favorite part of his playstyle.

Cryo Keqing + Shenhe c6. Big brain.

Personally, I love Zhongli’s C6 and haven’t regretted getting it for a moment, but I absolutely agree with you, it’s shit.

They really need to rework how some constellations work. I think they should all grant something good, instead of something miniscule like adding x% of damage to this, x% crit rate for that, and maybe make some constellations better as well. Too bad so far, seems like they don't plan on reworking something in the game considering the only thing that's been buffed was Zhongli's shield.

Worth noting for Ayaka c6. If you use Shenhe with c6 Ayaka, it becomes an insanely busted constellation. Also as a c6 Nahida owner, Nahida c6 provides burst damage just short of Yelan's c6 (I have that one too, so I can compare). A c6 Nahida just doesn't need to stack 3 EM pieces and can easily get away with using just an EM sands, provided you have her weapon at any refinement. She can hit 1000EM with an EM, Dendro dmg, crit setup thanks to her previous constellations and also being on field during her c6's activation period.

3:50 for xiao's best team, he needs jean as a healer. C6 Zhongli can fix that problem, doing so that u can use. Acharacter like kazuha instead, HUGE DPS increase.

The analogy at 6:14 will really makes sense once you get that C6. God, I'm so glad that I got C6 Eula from my insane luck.

As a F2P Childe Main, him having overall, shit constellations, is very satisfying.

great video! you should do one about r5 signature weapons

C6 Tighnari owner. They did really well with all his cons imo. Glad to see him be rated as such

For c6 zhongli if you play hu tao right it'll be fine. C6 zhongli is one of my favorites honestly top 4 favorite c6 I got are Ganyu, Yae, Zhongli and Shenhe.

I am happy with Shenhe's placing so I will lower the remote to the orbital laser now:D Jokes aside. I think the biggest miss you did was Yelan C6 not being top of the top broken. I have seen videos of her C6 and oh boy.

As a ayaya C6 haver I will say seeing my CA doing 6 digits at all times is very nice. Especially when speed running. It’s an underrated con in my opinion

I had a big laugh realizing that my maplestory was not playing the music but your vid was

I want to get C6 Zhongli because even with his C2 and shield I still get hit sometimes lmao. I can’t stand having less than 100% health at all times!

This gave me the spark and motivation again to just save for Eula's rerun. Gahd C6 Eula is totally a dream 💙

C6R2 Nahida owner. In a team of Yae, Kazuha, and tighnari for resonance (All C0), she has a base EM and Atk of 907/1346, 50/110 Crit, and Dendro bonus of 89.6% w a 2pc gilded/deepwood. after swirling electro, procing aggravate and using her burst, EM shoots to 1307 and each attack from her C6 deals around 60k damage. This may not sound like a lot compared to Eula or other main dps, but that’s 60k x 6, dealt to up to 8 opponents. That’s a total of nearly 3 million damage under the right circumstances, without anyone applying a dendro debuff

people don't know... Shenhe will be the most pulled banner as soon as we get a cool broken normal/charged attack Cryo chracter. I use her with chongyun, and he can EASILY do 25-30k x hit with shenhe and yunjin in party with a wolf gravestone and around 15-20k with serpent spine R3. If they release a stronger version of chongyun she will skyrocket in value, and x100 with her C6.

I’m guessing the next part of this series will be 4 stars or Haha funny C3s and C5s.

I always wondered why klees elemental burst doesn't work off field, she would be such an amazing enabler

Kazuha's C6 dramatically increases his E plunge damage. Combined with swirl and the fact that his C2 automatically buffs his EM, and it's super good

c6 Eula is honestly my favorite its overkill but attempting over and over to break my current personal best nuke is just a ton of fun for me

I don't think venti's constellations are broken by any means, but I'd like to point out that people going for his c6 (that aren't whaling for everyone) will likely build him as a dps --- thats me, im the venti main with aqua simulacra and c4, eventually to be c6 and going to pull every bow in this game for him.

If I could only pick one 5 star to have at c6 it would definitely be Shenhe, while not the *strongest* the fact you can make basically any char in the game into a pretty damn strong onfield cryo dps just sounds so fun. Would prolly just end up using on it Shenhe herself tho since I find her design such a waste to be relegated to E + Q support.

Many of the harder constellations are simply very strong in Co-op in which you lack rotation/issue of swapping. Raiden Shougon for example has a very broken c6 for a 4 Co-op group. The value of such elements did get alot of attention from inazuman characters. Many dps characters benefit from allies getting work done and supports benefit from doing things themselves. Yoimiya's whole burst relies on an ally to trigger it, imagine this while playing Co-op.. Kazuha c6 makes alot of sense if u play in Co-op since you do use NA and CA aswell.. Ayato burst buffing the NA for allies becomes very interesting for Co-op.. We even see this in newer Sumeru characters like Dori and Nilou. Nilou came right after Nahida which made it for some people very hard to play them both together, but now I'm really enjoying playing Nilou, since my friend has Nahida (very cool combo). And Dori has her burst which functions for multiple allies at the same time. With that there you generate for all allies energy and the electro damage. I hope we get some good purpose for playing Co-op aside from playing with friends for fun.

Love the Maplestory background music!!

Zhongli's knobbly C6 knees taste the same as I remember...

imo, both zhongli's and raiden's c6 gain the most value in coop, and while zhongli's is extremely nice to have, especially in situations when you go without a healer, raiden's is just a nice bonus for the team (and paired with c2/c6 zhongli literally makes you immortal cuz you can spam your shield like crazy). as someone who plays a lot of coop, I'll definitely go for c6 zhongli next rerun, not to mention it might come in pretty handy in the abyss for a no-healer team.

Cyno's C6 feel like it makes him. Duststalker Bolts are amazing. Ayato's are not only hared hitting, but I love the visual effect of the double that adds the extra slash. Ayaka needs to be slid over as hers is a legit nuke when in melt mode or making use of Shenhe. Nahida though... best C6 in the game. When that thing crits, enemies fade away.

The day the cryo archon releases, shenhe c6 will become absurdly powerful. Imagine a main dps, normal attacking cryo catalyst with infinite icy quills on top of the standard absurd archon damage...bruh. Even if they arent a catalyst, itll still be absurd.

C6 nahida is on the stronger side if you look at all the other constelations. you can easily hit 1000EM 45cr (+25cr from the passive) and 200 cdmg if you have good artifacts. Most of her dmg comes from her skill (personal dmg) something that gets boosted way up with her c6 and reactions. Also the other cons allow nahida to run an EM Dendro Crit setup (still allows you to get the before mentioned stats) that will also boost her DPS with her c6 she transforms form an support ot an really good dps character.

Anyone can take advantage of C6 Shenhe when you pair her with her nephew! ^_^

FINALLY THE VID WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR

I have C6 Yelan, and it costed me exactly $100. Got C1 Yelan on her 1st run, then got Aqua Simulacra and rest of consts on rerun. Was saving for C2 Dehya + her weapon, but since she's that bad, decided to go for Yelan, won every 50/50 and go 2x Yelan 10 pull twice.

I find it weird that Yelan was put under the likes of Xiao and Ganyu it's debatable regarding eula but not the other two this mastermind state lasts 20 seconds you can backload it and do a full team rotation then unleash this DPS and by nature Yelan is the most flexible 5* we have because if we include her previous cons because she's technically C6 she just makes Xingqiu look like a weak character when in reality he's probably the best 4* but Yelan at full potential is even more broken

What would you suggest as a good C6 for Zhongli? Just curious

C6 Ayaka Combos very well with Shenhe, bcs the Damage Buff also increases the Buff of Shenhe, often times allowing Ayakas Charged Attacks to clear entire Abyss waves.

Loki this is funny considering they made a Great wolfhound and wolf spam for the entire second half of floor 12 spiral abyss, healers are mandatory in many ways now

As much as I love Xiao, his condition to have to have at least 2 enemies makes it not as valuable as some might think. Sure, that doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t want to have it; the gameplay will drastically change and it sounds like a lot of fun. Ik we might be only talking about the C6 itself but with it C1-C5 also comes along. When taking that into consideration (and also his lack of good teammates compared to some other characters) overall Xiao unfortunately falls a bit behind dps wise compared to other C6’. There is a video of IWTL that shows that a C6 R5 Yelan was faster at clearing floor 12 than Xiao best team with all C6 R5 were. Sure the abyss favored Yelan at the time and this comparison shouldn’t be decisive for everything but shows a bit of power creep in Constellations. (I hope it does’t sound like I just think IWTL is always right and superior to other creators. I just took him as an example. There are also some other characters who I’d rate slightly different due to dps calculations on trustable softwares and theory crafters but the rating of Xiao was the one I wanted to concentrate on.

Ayatos C6 IS really broken. It deals massive dmg😨

That opening is a personal attack on me because I just dropped my phone in disgust after being wiped out (for the 4th time) by Scara world boss because of my slow iPhone 10

you should do a "ranking every commission" video. might be a cool idea :)

I think Nilou's C6 was meant to be enabled by Nahida's C2 (the one that makes Bloom Cores able to Crit), so you won't see much Value off of it until you get Nahida's C2

C6 Shenhe is more so for meme teams with with Chongyun, which can turn every melee character into viable cryo dps.

I have c6 Nahida. Her c6 is very strong, it allows you build other ways, while not necessarily needing to focus on straight up EM She gains 114 EM at A6. She gains 254 from the weapon. She gains 250 EM from gilded dreams artifact set. She gains 100-160 from applying her C4. She gains 25% from the highest EM unit, up to 250. This isn't even including EM substat rolls. You pretty much want 1000EM to gain the maximum effect of her traits. This means that without any EM artifacts or EM substats, she can gain about 798-> 857 EM. This means you could equip a crit headpiece, dendro/EM goblet, EM/ATK% sands, or just gain enough EM through substats, to maximize her DMG. Then the ease of her C6 should be easily notice. Unlike Yelan, who really wants enemies gathered up, if you are facing multiple enemies, she merely has to have them marked with her skill, and it will hit them all.

I think you miss the fact. Venti can decrease pyro, hydro, electro and cyro resistance too. It not great especially as C6. But better than shit.
