MF baited me with candace just for him to mention it in last 10 sec of the video, you son of a nice lady!

While Neuv and Arle are definitely undoubtedly powerful, my favorite thing about playing them is that they’re largely self-sufficient, selfish DPS. They don’t need shielders or healers to feel fun and comfortable to play, empowering their damage through their health before healing themselves makes them so independent and freeing to play, a team only exists to further empower them rather than actually support them really.

Saw Candace in the thumbnail and got my hopes up. Mine's not c6 yet.

the biggest reason for kazuha in the first half is because the tap of his skill will trick the cryo kenki into not using its dash because you are airborne and it will want to knock you down with ranged slashes, allowing you to clear faster with aoe attacks as all kenkies are close together

mAAAn , if candace's skill worked more like xinqiu's or yelan's , she would be a top pick instead of sumeru xinyan

Almost every cycle of the abyss in Fontaine era, Cryo is now neglected more than ever. Wanna play freeze? There's a boss in the chamber. Wanna power your way throught it? It's the dancing robots so success is very slim. Can't play freeze? Then go Melt. Your Benny, XL, and Nahida unavailable? Hyperfridge it is then, the blooms will carry you through it.

Video Idea: What is the best Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, and Fontaine Team

We can definitely expect a comeback of cryo as we have seen with Navia (crystallize) and Xianyun (plunge)

Cappuccino really did make the abyss gameplay more unique in my opinion she’s really really good

I was having trouble on the first side because I don't have a pyro DPS, and since the second chamber has a cryo shield I wasn't able to find how to slot pyro characters. That was until I told myself "fuck it, my wanderer is strong enough" and used him with Bennett and Thoma who ended up being enough pyro application to melt the shield, after that wanderer was indeed strong enough to brute force second chamber even though it has huge anemo resistance

I have actually fully cleared this Abyss using Arlecchino Overload team (1st half) and the premium Xiao team (2nd half). Of course, the only difficulty there is to this are the Abyss Lectors, but the team can realistically just spam Faruzan charged shots and Furina Salon Members to wittle the shield (though, this method takes over a minute to work).

Those abyss lectors and the Iniquitous Baptist are the reason I built a specialised burgeon team based in Thoma.

It's weird how few are those brave enogh to run Navia, Furina and Noele (+ another elemental aplicator for Navia's shards). This team has become my confort one both for most world bosses and to explore fontaine (Only now I have time to 100% it)

Bro where is Candace?

With enough investment, or creativity, or specification you can run wild teams nearly as you wish. -Wanderer w/Neuvillete's weapn, Faruzan (C6), Bennet, Furina clears 12-1-1 -Neuvillete, Kazuha, Furina, Zhongli clears Electro lecters lololol -Zhong and Kazu help clean up Final guy's ice shield Idk...be creative.Shoot for the stars, grasp them, then keep training lol

yanfei iz a godsend for breaking cryo shields

As someone who has both Hu Tao and Arlechinno, and has used one on EACH side of the latest floor 12 Abyss, I would say that they are both equally powerful. I think most theorycrafters put Hu Tao ahead in terms of consistency on longer fights. As for me though, Arlechinno is just........... "simpler" to play. C0 Hu Tao requires jump cancelling, and C1 Hu Tao's dash cancelling both need some level of skill to be as efficient as possible, and for most players, that's the biggest downside of playing the cute funeral director. And if you go beyond C1, it's obvious that Arlechinno's constellations pull ahead MUCH further than Hu Tao in terms of raw power. Hu Tao's C6...... is extremely bad. Lol.

Wuthering waves is the new meta.

actually, you can go mono pyro for 1st team (arle xiangling bennet kazu) and go hutao yelan xq zhongil for 2nd. with the exception if any of the abyss chamber contain anti pyro enemy or not

In the last chamber, the boss' cryo shield will always be preceded by a pyro one. Because of this, you can finish it off with Kazuha's burst, which will then be infused with pyro, and that infusion will partly overlap with your second rotation, melting the shield away.

Emm...Where's Candace? 😕

When I got ayaka + shenhe with their signatures, I felt so powerful that they can melt everything into oblivion, but now they cant do shit, I gave mistplitter to furina, and shenhe there chilling with calamity. Waiting for schneznaya (dunno the spelling) update and hope for cryo buffs

I think an interesting thing about hutao versus arlecchino is that some of their best supports barely overlap, yelan and zhongli do want to be used by both in some situations but you can always just run xingqiu with hutao on a furina xianyun team instead od the usual double hydro zhongli team, or just run arle on overload/mono pyro. I hope we can evetually see abyss clears with pyro hypercarries on both chambers

I did Arlecchino 1st half w/ bennette, kazuha, and zhongli Hutao 2nd half with xianyun, furina, and yelan. Worked great haha

Hydro, pyro carrying this game hard

Meanwhile I used both hu tao and father in this abyss

I used both Hutao and Arlecchino, just to pay tribute to Hutao who has carried me since 1.3 Arlecchino is definitely an easy replacement if you don't like charged shots but Hutao's playstyle is fast and great for single bosses. I still think Double Hydro Hutao is better, so I use Arlecchino with Chevreuse Overload for consistency

Meanwhile physical teams: 💀

I went plunge klee for chamber 12 second half and it worked really well. Xianyun, furina, xingqiu for particles and klee. Surprisinly good.

well.. this abyss was crafted to make pyro/arlecchino shines.. no wonder she can do both sides People seems to forget that abyss is ALWAYS made to favor the character you can pull in that banner. (except reruns) So yea..

does anyone else just clear spiral abyss in sometimes 3 waves with different teams catered to each floor like me? lol

I personally like Arlecchino best in Chevreuse overload teams, so i'll still be using Hu Tao for vaporize, especially because she works better with Xianyun. I used Hu Tao, Xianyun, Furina, and Yelan for the last couple of abysses and it just destroys everything easily.

Don't worry ayaka mains you will get your buff 6.0 and I'm sure they wouldn't do something unexpected like making physical meta or release cryo archon and cyro dragon or making more bosses that are immune to cryo

I'm probably one of the few people who cleared this abyss cycle with the classic Ayaka Freeze team(Chamber 2 side)...

I also have arlecchino but Hu Tao will never be replaced, she is still my strongest and favorite character!

I think arlecchino mono pyro comp is way better than arlecchino vape with yelan in this abyss. The more pyro u can bring the faster the electro shields of the enemies gets break

I knew candace would have a use with alrecchino, but i was too scared to build her. Things have changed

Normal Attack Arlecchino: YunJin: I don't exist!

For the last chamber if you're doing a cryo team (and using Kazuha), you can get hit by the boss' pyro attack and infuse your burst with pyro thus breaking his cryo shield easily.

In My opinion ... If Player dont compare chars then they can enjoy every char they got to the fullest

burnmelt comp work just fine on the second half, sure cryo is not the best to deal with baptism's pyro shield but it can definitely be done, with burnmelt it's not a problem with wriothesley and ganyu

As a Hutao main, I already know I can clear the abyss with her no sweat. Just testing out Father. Still getting used to her. I got one shoted a lot because I cant heal her in pinch.

My Father team in the current Abyss is Father/Thoma/Kazuha/Xingqui. I use Xingqui instead of Yelan because of her energy issue.

it's so funny to me how i invested so much into heizou and wriothelsey teams while right now there are too many roadblocks for anemo and cryo... guess my trio is waiting for snezhnaya to become more relevant once again and heizou for that mondstadt comeback

yeah I am that 30% who uses Hu Tao still cuz she's my first and most invested character in this game, I don't have Arrlecino build at her max I only got lev 80, talent 7,7,6, 4pc BoF set, and Jade spear on her.

My strategy to use the Ayaka Kazuha Kokomi Shenhe team against the Baptist was to do the following: Weaken the first shield (pyro) with kokomi's normal attacks, then cast Kazuha's burst, Pyro asorb his burst, and then use the pyro to break the Cryo shield Since the order is always Pyro->Cryo->Electro I found this strategy to work consistently enough

I used to be a Hu tao Maine but when she came out I and seeing her insane damage she replaced my hu tao

5:57 That's sad Looks like barely people useing new Hutao plunge team with Furina , xianyun and xingqiu or c6 Thoma 😭

This new abyss really complicated to make a party with, especially second half. The abyss baptist and abyss herald elector really forcing you to use pyro, hydro or dendro. To add it up, the enemy on second half is really really like to split away making it necessary to have anemo grouper like kazuha or venti. I manage to do it with a really weird party contain raiden, bennet, xingqui and venti. I gotta said, venti does a lot of job here making sure those enemy in second half always group together. Saving a lot of time for the lack of damage my second party has.

My team for arlecchino is Arle, xingqiu, zhongli and Chiori. Arle replaced my hutao and added Chiori to it, since Arle feels more well rounded and less stamina hungry than hutao.

I've been using Arlecchino, Yelan, Albedo and Zhongli for quite some time now, and it's rather fun to play, I wish I had Kazuha's signature sword to put on Albedo to buff Arlecchino's normal attacks even further.

I played HuTao first cycle and Arlecchino second cycle. I didn't have Arlecchino during the time I cleared first cycle. Pretty similar clear times I got. That being said, Arlecchino is easier and more novel. Hutao, Yelan, Xingqiu, Zhongli (With Homa & Aqua) all C0. Arlecchino, Bennet, Yelan, Zhongli (With Scythe & Elegy) all C0.

Normal people: not using Hu Tao because Daddy. Me, a psyco: uses both in abyss because pyro nation is god

"Cryo is weak this abyss" Meanwhile my Ayaka/Furina/Xiangling/Jean just speedrunning 2nd side

The best part is you can use Arlecchino's comfy team on one side of the abyss and Hu Tao's double hydro team on the other side. It won't work always. But it's nice to still use Hu Tao rather than pull an andy and be like "I'm not playing with you anymore"

i think comparisons for hu tao and arle are never going to be fair, since hu tao is an older unit most people (that want her/want that playstyle) have her AND if you have both, arle takes one of more teammates hu tao uses to work. arle will most likely end up around hu tao, once the newness wears off

Vape is a crutch on Arlecchino, one that heavily hinders her true dps potential. You're building for one big hit every 2.5 seconds. Instead of promoting a spam of almost equally large normal attacks, that completely dwarf vapes bloated screenshot number. Arlecchino/Zhongli/Yun Jin/Bennett is a godly bolster to what her kit promoted. Particularly even more so since over half of Arlecchino users are currently using Gladiator. It is absolutely insane what she is capable of with that team comp. Vape and melt see more viability when bloating an already bloated large base number like charged attacks with high scaling. Arlecchino sees much better actual dps from increasing her normal attack damage and speed. Just saying as a long time mmo player, dps is highly misunderstood. Attack speed is almost always the greatest dps increase in any game. Crit chance and damage come in close behind, but in a healthy ratio. 40% crit rate and 300% crit damage is not healthy, contrary to how alot of the community seems to think. Ensure almost every hit crits, then bolster crit damage. The ideal truly is 1 : 2, instead of this 1 : 3-5. I'm really not trying to criticize, I just want the community to be better informed how to get the most from their character of choice. Love this game and most of the community, truly 💜

I use Arle over Hu Tao because a) she is just way easier to play and b) I feel that with Arle I always have Pyro uptime, never in my rotations my Bond of Life runs out

Ok so clear me one thing wouldn't xinqiu be a better pick for arlecchino than yelan since she doesn't really do much for her while xinqiu can provide some Interruption res as well as hydro shred meanwhile yelan buffs ult which is not really a thing for arlecchino unless you don't know how to dodge that is you'll use your burst as many time as you get

I like hutao character design more but I am not using her anymore in abyss even though calcs seem similar for both, I think Arle is a lot better c0s0 without tryhard artifact investment and I was forgetting a lot easier to play, no finger pain (I play in mobile) and no surprise her and neuv being in the top of the list as dps I can 36* first try compared to back In the day When i suffered multiple runs trying to get the 36 with raiden and hutao note: my relics are average at best for all my characters I only login 2 times a month to do abyss and I only play consistently when I get lucky with pulls and need to farm a new character

Alrechino is easier to play with and has a longer uptime and also punishes you less for messing a thing or two

How does usage data gathered? I wonder how much usage data isn't gathered from folks that don't submit their teams. I'm using Chiori C6R1 who completely obliterates things quickly

I think of the meta as a blueprint. If you can get other characters of the element to work with your favorites you can achieve the same results.

I have C1R1 Hutao with 70/200 crimson , but my Arle C0 Whitetassel with 70/185 BOL artifact already over powers her. Also that Arle not loosing her infusion when switching already leaves hutao behind...

the reason why Hu Tao is not used because Arlechinno is a newer character.. Hu Tao has been used how many years now?? so that 30% usage for Hu Tao is not surprising.. its Far more surprising if Arlechinno Havers didnt used her in abyss thats more concerning

Hu Tao is one of those 5stars i wish I could trade for another one, or at least get my primos back. Her playstyle sucks without the constellation to offset the stamina cost of her charged attacks. Wish the would implement such a feature to trade in unwanted 5stars for other goodies.

I used plunging hutao, yelan, furina, xianyun on phase 1 and random reactions go yoimiya, kokomi, nahida, yae on phase 2

My hu tao plunge team is wrecking this abyss doing 250k per plunge + 200k charges, so using my primos on Arle is a waste. This game isn’t hard enough for chasing meta

Regarding the first team you looked at (Arlecchino, Zhongli, Yelan, Bennett) is Xingqiu a reliable substitute for Yelan?

I had to use a pretty unique team for second half since its good to have so many different elements but most my strongest teams have 2 primary elements

As a person who's team centers around Ayaka and Xiao, yeah this abyss is stupidly annoying

Klee still best pyro dps in game

8:55 Anemo and Cryo are getting the short end of the stick. Physical: 💀

Thanks for this wonderful content. We need this new meta video every patch. May i know what app are you using?

With abyss lectors I just put Diana in a team and had no problem (wanderer, furina, faruzan, Diona)

Crazy her overload team isn’t up there.

30% for 3 years old dps is crazy though

Me playing ninqquan in a mono geo team and Kaveh Bloom team in this meta feels like beeing the special child in the class ahahah

@GachaGamerRU-vid I think your conclusions on Hutao vs Arlecchino use rates are a bit off. Only people that actually have pulled Hutao can use Hutao in the Abyss. However, people stop playing Genshin while new players come to the game regularily, the playerbase constantly renews. Leading to less and less currently active players actually having Hutao on their accounts. This males it nearly impossible to make a realistic deduction on popularity, you use what you have on your account. And players who have Hutao might not actually have pulled for Arlecchino, because these characters fill a very similar role as Pyro main dps.

I dunno why people are not playing more dendro on the first half? You don't need Furina for Coppelius, just use the Hero's Blade from the Narzissenkreuz quest line and you can play Hyperbloom and Nilou's Bloom team (with Kirara or MC holding the weapon).

I do hope Pyro Archon's kit is like a 5star version of benett, only this time we are not bound by the stupid circle impact so that we can go anywhere especially for thos non snapshot characters

This is the first abyss I haven't 36 starred in a while because I don't really like playing any of the pyro units... my side 1 team manages with Dehya/Xianyan/Navia/Furina, but I can't find a team I can play side 2, I never understood Hu Tao, and she always seems underwhelming to me (and yes, skill issue I know), and though I did get Arlecchino, I don't have her sig or her Constellations, and I just.. don't get her at all, I've tried both teams, even subbed in Yanfei, but that 2nd half on the first side is just.. brutal (seriously?!? 3 separate waves with HP sponges with annoying mechanics?!?! who does that?!?!?!?)

Arlecchino with Yunjin is also really fun

Why fight over Arlecchino vs Hu Tao when you can just play both? I did. Arlecchino, Chevreuse, Fischl, Beidou...Beidou over Bennett because I wanted a shield and because I freaking hate Bennett. Hu Tao, Diona, Xingqiu, Yelan...and yes, I used Diona over Zhongli for the baptist and the lectors.

OMG DID I SAW MY CANDACE 😍

Where are you getting those usage rates from ???

Will never forgive using Candace in a meta video just as bait.

candace was a clickbait ? man...

Diona Candace and Thoma have been a surprise characters thst work eith Arlecchino

Those tights man!!

Idk if thats my skill issue but I could not beat abbys 12 second half (36 stars) with hyperbloom, I needed pyro for baptist, finally I made it with burgeon on second half.

Since the game lunch I clear floor 9-10-11 and with random heroes. I just pay attention to make some reaction so I will not bring full electro team. Sometimes I bring heroes which does not even have artifact but still easy win The floor 12 is hard for 3 start if you don’t check the enemy team but I am too lazy to check it so I just skip it

"What's the situation for HuTao" Nothing really, she's the same, the game does not have "powercreep", gacha players need to stop using words they dont understand, this is a PVE game, there's not even measily leaderboards of any kind Nothing stops people from simply sending HuTao on one side, Arle on the other, in fact that's what i did

I am the 1% that uses meta Aloy with Arlecchino in spiral abyss and dominate. 😂😂😂 i nvr once touch bennett, yelan, furina, kazuha, chevreuse, xiao, heizou, faruzan.

Just a thought… many people don’t have C6 Chevreuse, hence Overload is not higher up?

Me with Arle, Kuki, Chev, thoma 💪🔥

2 minutes and 17 likes. That's quite a decent performance. Gacha Gamer has not fallen off

Ah i was jebaited into thinking Candace was useful somehow

i think teams like Benny, Zhong, Yelan + any random stuff are just irrelevant. its the same as drafting Sayu with Nahida, Xingciu, Kuki and say "sayu usage!!". most of Arlechino usage now is hype but anyone cant deny her strenght, sadly, wasted on boring and predictable comps
