Is Hyperbloom her best team now? | Ask Zajef Raiden #2 

Thanks to the editor, the real champ

@@FreakGeSt true!! The editing is really clean too!!

Eating good ong

The hunger for Zajef content can never be staved

And the food was nutritious af 😋😋😋

Yeah, and i'd say its worth clarifying what he meant by "theorycrafters moved on": Raiden national wasn't discovered on the first week. Basically without it and with Raidou not working the only team she had is Eula team where she's a sidegrade to Fischl at best. As you can imagine, a week is a lot of time for misconceptions to spread.

@@Soundwave1900 Not just that; when Rational was first popularized, most of its value hinged on its comfort i.e., not having to strictly learn funneling and optimal NA rotations for Raiden because the team will always work, but in terms of actual performance, other national teams were not that far behind or were not any worse than rational as mentioned in the video. A lot of people also didn't like how disgusting of an upgrade her c2 was to her dps back then so she was kinda conceived as a primogem trap.

Well it wasn't the first hoyoscams fuckery. They went out of their way to not repair Venti's burst to suck Klee's bombs, they just added extra words for his Q explaining, that he cannot do it. While other anemo heroes could and new ones too))

You can try to find excuses but the reality is that a majority of the Genshin community share a single brain cell. After all the doom posting on Alhaitham and every other character I'm pretty sure most people like having opinions while being as clueless as possible.

@@smexxxxy Eh, no not really. Sure doom posting is a thing and it sucks but the internet likes to sensationalise. Most TC worth their sort won't make a habit of it though. Part of why misconceptions can spread is because there are no legitimate counters without nerds and TC. Raidou was legit f*cked and caused a stir. If TC isn't doing their job for Raiden then it's understandable how things blow out of proportion and misinformation spreads. Not the same as when people pop off about the nerfs and buffs that occur in beta. It's really a mixed bag as to how things will look until the character is finished and in the public's hands for testing and such.

YES😭

That was so the cherry on top of the cake!

😂😂

Ara ara~

I liked the last one especially 😳

True

Truly one of the genshin creators of all time

One of? I reckon he IS now. Doesn't hype, doesn't clickbait, admits when he's wrong, very rarely is wrong, is actually good at the game, isn't a simp and best of all there's non of this cringy uwu waifu over meta cringe. Man is the 🐐. Everyone else comes after

@@razor5694 He is the Waifu HUH

Best Genshin CC is still Venti imo.

Still below tectone and mtashed

is the character really fun to play? yes: me want is the character male and really attractive? yes:me want its so simple when you have priorities xD

@@firby7341 relatable but i cant clear abyss so i need waifus first but still a win

I'm a day 1 player(dolphin), and since the start of this year I haven't had a problem 36 starring the abyss. It's ironic because I don't have alot of the super meta 5 stars (raiden, hutao, ganyu, venti) I just pulled the units that I liked (all the geo 5 stars, and some other 5 stars that I like here and there.) So I always encourage the "go for who you like, but build/play them in the most optimal way you can." It's what has worked for me, and I never burnout because I know I'm playing the game in a way that's the most fun for me.

If a character is really good in the story but leaves a bad taste in your mouth as you play, then I am not freaking pulling that character. That's the conclusion I have come to after 2 years of playing. It's not just Zajef's word, but also lots of trial on my part that helps me with my decisions whether the character is good or not.

Pretty much yeah, I always find it weird that some people really hate when Zajeff opinion doesn't align with their accounts, where I can see that his content always crater toward very new player all the time. For personal goal after I can comfortably full cleared every abyss rotations since I've got Ayaka to counter the Abyss Lector, I started partaking in using less characters to complete it. And it kinda incites my flame of excitement with the game. It still makes me crave for improving the same old characters that I have used since forever. For the context, it's 3x4* or 2x5* (or less) challenge And since I'm just a very low spender (day 1 player w/ 8 welkins), I have another goal in mind of wanting to own at least one c6 5* for solo'ing an entire abyss (comfortably), so I have saved 127k primo currently, looking for future characters to pull a c6 (if not Yelan haha).

Before Dendro released, I played these two with duo Hydro Electro teams because they are that fun together. With Hyperbloom, they became even more fun.

@@RKNancyand we love to see it

They have such good synergy together, once a dendro healer comes out their team would be better

@@aruakabane2077 yaoyao is here! she doesn't actually benefit the duo too much, but if yaoyao is on-field it's actually a decent team

What's the difference between Raiden and Kuki in that comp? I want to try it, but Ayato kind of insta dies a lot.

1k for HoD: meh 1k for glad we get from bosses since 1.0: noice!

He can't do it 🤣. The Childe one is the best one

His pronunciation of the Japanese lines were pretty good. Source: am half and do speak it.

Yae in place is fischl is better in this team.

@@bookstore101 well, no. If you have enough dps Fischl is better, which you have XD.

may I ask what electro charge team did you use?

@@ixirion I don’t understand what you are trying to say.

@@bookstore101 Sad. pointless. hf

Hi Canta

Best decision even. You don't need cons to enjoy this game.

Started playing kuki hyperbloom 3 days ago... She's level 40 rn while her other team members ( Xingqui mona and Dendro MC are lvl 70) and she still kills enemies for fun...i was honestly so shocked bruh

It's a cheaper hutao team while being way stronger

@@Cocxy69 wait does this mean Shinobu (in hyperbloom) might be better than Hu Tao? No offense, I'm just curious

@@febbbm2002 raidens way better than her, just that she provides healing But theoretically it does seem like that

@@Cocxy69 yeah I can see why she is better than Shinobu though, obviously lol

EXACTLY. Shinobu is straight up better for hyperbloom

Yeah, swapping to Kuki in the middle of the rotation to refresh her skill is also not a problem because Nahida, XQ, Yelan team has no dedicated on-fielder, I can swap out from Nahida anytime I want. The extra damage that Raiden provides is not big enough to justify running a healer-less team.

I prefer using Raiden over Kuki, I get noticeable faster clear times especially when there are a lot of seeds. She not only procs faster, have higher EM weapon but also boosts XQ and Yelan's burst dmg. It's a lot more extra damage than you think. I find I rarely need healing with XQ and it can be played easily by playing better/practicing.

@@vert7342 true, but just by virtue of not having to pull for a 5 star (raiden) for a competititive option, kuki is extremely good. For people who lack both raiden and nahida, nahida + kuki instead of raiden + some other dendro is a better bang for your buck for easy to build dendro teams.

@@otaku-chan4888 I guess but having and leveling Raiden means you gain access to both her normal and hyperbloom teams. And alot of people already have and built Raiden already, of which they can just toss EM artifacts on her and call it a day(If their Bennett is taken by the other side) If ur gonna roll Raiden specifically for hyperbloom, that would be unadvisable if you already have c2 Kuki ofc, that's just low returns.

Agree!! I do hyperbloom in the deepwood domain with Nahida Raiden Zhongli and Kokomi. I put up their skills and climb the pillar and wait for them to die. I love it. AFK gaming!!

of all time?

Based

Contrary of Zafef recomend I would suggest to most ppl to get ELighning instead of const if they can save the primos for it. 1. Looks best on her. 2. At C0 + EL she can smash everything anyway so you dont need C2. 3. Getting C2 costs more primos than EL. But still you need to have 200+ wishes ready. 4. C2 makes Raiden too OP thus reducing the enjoyment. 5. You shouldnt pass EL to other units but if you do they get very good weapon. 6. Xiangling needs the Catch and in Rational.

@@ixirion honestly a big reason to get her constellations is also getting Sara's ones. So you could argue that C2 (or even c1) is more value But yeah it looks super good... I think I'm gonna skip her const. + her weapon in order to save for Yelan + the Homa/Aqua banner. Yelan would unlock more team comps for me I don't have enough pity or wishes and I don't want to get screwed with Ayato's weapon since I don't have him. I'm also incredibly satistied with Raiden aggravate, it's waaaaaay better than standard hypercarry if you don't have the constellations. The tean I use is: Raiden, Fischl (tenacity), Nahida (deepwood full em), Bennett. It's less burst reliant and it's got a really constant and steady dmg output, unlike hypercarry without consts which can get me screwed as soon as the boss decides to be invulnerable and I need to painfully get the energy back

@@ixirionYou're 2nd point can go further to say C0 + Catch can smash anything anyway. Her signature weapon and constellations only offset her investment required to clear content.

@@notmeee3729 True. But the point is const or Catch. So we assume player want to invest more. You can play Raiden on Fav, Xiangling Catch. Yiu can still clear but its a lot of investment.

It's just like Kuki HB. Built her, nahida and barbie under 2 weeks with the talents and artifacts

how is it low investment you need 3 5star and 1 4star and each of them are solid SS characters

raiden, dmc, xq/barbara, flex. how is that 3 five stars. weapon dragon bane. artifacts only need EM mainstat. doesnt matter which arti set or substats. EZ

@@thornszk the team isn't nearly strong when u use dmc and barbara/kokomi stop the cap

@@banjoowo4001 why would u use kokomi lol

single target it is multi it's international

It is crazy. It is better than any other weapon in the game. If someone considers pulling weapons valuable, Engulfing is the best of them all.

I do 3xN4D N1C with raiden in double hydro (yelan/xq/kaz) because her MVs don't matter as much without significant buffs (bennett/sara/etc.)

As a hu tao main, double hydro rotations are smooth af and no cooldown issues whatsoever. No idea what you’re talking about lmao💀

@@mr.spongeboob3764 he is just doomposting lol

funerational is more dps than raiden hyperbloom tho

I’ve played both and I agree, it’s absolutely crazy how busted nahida raiden hyperbloom is

Yeah, I wish devs will make it possible, but there is little hope. Still mentioning that in surveys, though.

Same here, keep fighting the good fight soldier.
