I find humorous how you almost didn't include Nahida when that skill almost negated any future designs of off-field dendro units. Its SO STRONG

10:05 "Like all other Archons" Venti in the corner: ehe…

I think Nahida's skill is better than you give it credit for. I'd certainly not say it's usefulness is tied to her ultimate. Constant, strong off field dendro application is huge for many teams. The ult is more like the cherry on top. Also I'd say if you're considering overworld usefulness Wanderer might make the list due to it being the best traversal skill in the game, and being a core part of his kit. I might rank it over Yelan overall actually.

2:55 "Dealing Hydro damage to anything that moves" Crabaletta cannonballing an unlit torch:

One big missing elemetal skill from this list is Nilou's skill. By itself the skill is not that great but since we include talents that state the skill by name, it belongs there. The damage of Nilou blooms is much higher than almost anything on this list and those blooms can only be triggered while Nilou's skill is active. Although by the rulings, this skill is too intertwined with the character as Nilou is basically just a passive. Bonus points for being the only skill that changes how an elemental reaction works.

I’d give the honorable mention to Baizhu and Kokomi as their skills make up a huge majority of their kits as well in my opinion. For Baizhu, his instant team wide healing and dendro application is one of the main reasons why he’s amazing, especially in Furina teams. The same goes for Kokomi, amazing hydro application with good on field healing. The radius of the application is huge and the skill stays on field for a good duration of time as well.

for Nahida, the burst is a good buff to the skill when in the abyss, but for 95% of the game, the skill is enough and cast the burst is a waist of time.

I would like to add an honorable mention, Wanderer’s Hanega: Song of the Wind. I know Anemo DPS kinda need Faruzan c6 to function but cmon, being able to hover in the air to attack, no charged atk stamina cost, extra buffs based on swirled elements and being able to zoom anywhere you want is cool as fuck

Id pick navia tbh over yelan. Sure yelan is battery, high multpiplier, traversal yada yada, but her kit revolves around her burst unlike navia’s which is literally almost all her damage. Thats me but all in all good list ❤❤❤

I feel like an honourable mention should be Navia’s, considering it’s probably the skill with the highest damage in the game, also it has two charges which is nice

Actual Top 5 Elemental Skills!! 1 - Beidou Counter: That shit badass 2 - Heizou Punch: That shit badass 3 - Keqing Teleport : That shit badass 4 - Ayato uhh sword shing shing: That shit badass 5 - Diluc combo thing: That shit badass Absolutely no bias in this list, all facts.

I am surprised Wanderer`s Hanega Song of the Wind is not there. It is the perfect balance between damage and mobility.

I would say this list is missing Navia's Elemental Skill. It is easily one of the most highest damaging elemental skills in the game and stacking up to 6 shrapnels isn't hard and it also buffs your base/plunge attacks for a few seconds and causes geo infusion. Also it comes with 2 charges without any constallations and if we include C2 of Navia, you even get a free shrapnel due to spawning a shot of her Ult on hit. Also small underastimated bonus is her Ousia? hit at the end of her skill which is great to have such quick access to that if you need it.

It should be a crime that wanderer's skill isn't here It helped me complete my mint picking carear

how is a significant part of nahida’s E’s power tied to her burst? the only real benefit it gets is the faster triggel interval but even that can be neglected 😭

I definitely enjoy skills or abilities that either infuse or augment a character's normal attacks to deal elemental damage. It just feels impactful in a satisfying way, I guess?

I'd say Nahida is the opposite of what you said, MOST if not all of her power comes from the skill, her burst does literally nothing but power up her skill via her passives, even without the burst active Nahida's skill is still the best dendro skill in the game

Archons: *off-field element applicators with the skill duration being 8-19 seconds longer than cooldown Venti: *sad bard noises

I know this video wasn't really ranked (or was it?), but I'd be surprised if Nahida's skill isn't considered the best in the game. Really it's kinda all her kit, and she's considered one of the best characters in the game. I remember when I first got into Genshin, I was looking up tier lists and character roles, and kept seeing Nahida in the top tier and being listed as a support. Now that I've dove deep into the game and pulled Nahida, I don't even think she really is a support at all, beyond some incidental EM buffs. The only choice I think should have been there would be Kokomi, probably over either Kazuha or Yelan.

I would give a slot for Baizhu's skill. It's pretty much an elemental burst-esque party-wide heal but tied to a skill which you don't need energy and the cooldown is pretty short.

Personally the way I would have gone about this list would be to ask "in a theoretical alternate universe where Traveller could inherit other character's elemental skills, which ones would be the most useful?" But even under that criteria, I think this list was pretty good. Oz would be way less effective under this idea without A4 and Hu Tao's E would probably be bad given Traveller doesn't scale on HP, but otherwise I'd probably pick pretty much the same skills

13:06 Nahida is one of my favorite characters so that c2 was totally worth it for me! No regrets! (Also helped I got her c1 in her first banner on my last 10 pull so that extra c2 constellation was an easy grab)

Here's My Favorite Genshin Elemental Skills 1. Jean's YEET 2. Zhongli's Dong 3. Baizhu's Heal 4. Wanderer's Flight 5. Amber's Baron Bunny 6. Diluc's 3 Piece Combo 7. Xiao's Dash 8. Nahida and Charlotte's Camera 9. Raiden Shogun's Eye 10. Mona's Constellation Dummy

Great video Vars! Not to mention the absolute BANGER playing in the back

10:23 The whiplash of hearing Vars say that word hit me like a truck holy sh*t lmao

Xianyun's skill is the most fun skill for me personally especially at C1. You are just flying across the map, so fun.

I don't really disagree with the Kazuha choice, but I do think Wanderer would be a superior candidate for it. Both in terms of exploration and damage, since that's how you measured Kazuha's contribution.

Albedo is the one with the highest duration:cd ratio, being 30:4, not Nahida

now we wait for the elemental burst ver.✨

I agree with the majority, buuut i prefer Xingqiu skill over Yelan skill. It does one big instance of dmg, it applies hydro, it semi-shielde and it also heals at the end. Yelan skill is not bad, but because the cooldown, it doesn't feel that that relevant at C0 I also think that four electros with sinilar skills is too much.

U really left nilou's skill Ofcourse it doesn't do much on its own but when paired with dendro correctly it obliterate enemies

I generally agree with your list. As for Johny's pillar- it can do quite a nice damage also..I,m saving for his c2 now. Kazu skill - i use it more often than burst tbh

No Ushi in the list your opinion is invalid

14:18 I felt that ult on a personal level.

Great video idea, loved it. One thing that should have been mentioned to further cement Yelan's Skill being in there is that is 1 of the 3 ways to buff character's max HP, I think, I just thing its important because it enables the 100k HP furina while still using a CR/CD circlet instead of HP circlet

Feel like Gorou should be included, at least an honorary mention. Does his skill prioritize geo teams, yes, but that doesn't necessarily make it bad. If anything it excels at what it does. Plus the buffs are honestly very use full. Got just Gorou, 1 geo characters, you have an increase to def. Lot of people limit that to characters like Itto and Noelle. But it's also handy for characters like Xinyan and Yun Jin. Have 2 geo characters, enjoy the def increase along with an increased resistance to interruption. Something that a large majority of characters would favor. And with characters like Yun Jin that's technically not limited to mono geo team. Granted are those teams for everyone, no, but its not as limiting with just 2 geo characters as some people claim. The mono geo team part of his skill only really becomes a thing when there's 3 geo characters. When you receive the other buffs plus a geo bonus damage. Which is great when at that point majority of team is geo anyway. But what really makes Gorou's skill incredibly good is how easy it is to build, especially if going for support build. One of his best artifacts is a 4*, The Exile. A weapon that is great on him is the Favonius Warbow, one everyone is essentially given for free. Building his skill is incredibly forgiving to those in the early game, while those in later parts can focus more on building their other characters. It's honestly a nice skill. I think people overlook it at times. ...Is this possibly bias because Gorou is my favorite character, yes. Do I care, no haha

When I saw you saying that riden's elemental skill was the most generous cool down related to duration, I was ready to scream as an albedo main who always has my boy be forgotten, thank you for the asterix

All these make sense but Yelan…? Fair enough for exploration convenience I guess but its damage and grouping aren’t *that* impressive, I’d put Sucrose over her in both those any day. There’s also Nilou, putting her in feels more like honorable mention to a unique playstyle the skill opens up but the video still feels incomplete without her and she definitely goes in over Yelan.

Kazuha deserves to be on this list, he was my first 5 star and i saw a video saying "if you main kazuha you forget not every enemy is just grouped up on command and youre carried", and frankly i cant fully deny that claim lol

Kazuha's skill do makes sense to be here. Kazuha became the best crowd control, much better defined him as mass mob killing machine, all because of his elemental skill. With or without his A4, he is a monster. If I'll remove a character or two here, it will be Fischl and Yae. Their skills are just damage. A large damage indeed, yet in a game where any DPS can deal high amount of damage does their skills really make any difference? Yae's skill is better against bosses that can go underground and enemies that can be grouped. Aside from that it was just an okay skill. Fischl relies too much on A4 passive, without that her damage is really mediocre. Characters that should have been on that list would be Nilou, Kokomi or Baizhu. For Nilou, she relies too much on passive for her skill to be useful. But isnt it the same as Fischl? Kokomi and Baizhu's skills made them literally a walking statue of the seven.

Love your vids, my guy

I spaced out when I realised Persona 3 Reload opening was playing in the background I love the game

Good selection, though quite overlooked Kokomi's skill is one of the few no ICD skills plus it's hydro, which a good number of teams would want (e.g. freeze, bloom, taser) and it also covers the healer/sustain slot.

I think I would add Xianyun’s skill in this list, mostly because for the exploration aspect but also because of the atk buff it grants

13:32 hmmm. I feel like I have to disagree. The skill while yes potent at traversal is just lacking any sort of sustained DMG and the crowd control is meh I feel like I would put C6 Lynette before that since it's anemo (if element of character is attached to skill that is) But wriothesley definitely comes before this one. Even chiori I have to say has a more important skill than yelan. Or like baizhu or kokomi with so much healing tied to their skills. And if zhongli is literally no.1 then C6 Layla's shield is pretty potent aswell. Oh, and like alhaitham's skill? That's like his entire kit. And tighnari, giving 3 lvl 2 CA in quick succession, imagine if that was on ganyu. OH, and wanderer, that's literally more traversal than yelan and gives alot of damage I don't know. Ultimately it's your choice but I feel like atleast wanderer makes it in before yelan

Ok he got us on the sponsorship tho

scara not being on the list is strange, he can FLY

I really didn't expect you to think Zhongli would be controversial...but I kind of am lost on Mikos skill. I used to play her for a bit but it just feels so incredibly clunky even with C2. I would have expected Wanderer or Kokomi, maybe even Kaeya or Kaveh for the memes

I feel like that navia is a really good one in my opinion

I like how half of the choices are electro element

Wanderer. Why? It lets you fly Anyone else: but Me: It. Lets. You. Fly.

Xianyun's hopping is the most fun I have traversing the open world, especially with C1.

0 views in 54 second,bro fell off Edit: jokes aside good vid

Do you recon you could talk about hydro and how prominent it is and how each unit released within the element always ends up powercreeping another hydro unit (Furina and mona) (Yelan and xinqiu)

Your videos butter My biscuits thank you

Yae should’ve been replaced with Navia skill. Just don’t agree with it especially when fischl is already in the list

YO FULL MOON FULL LIFE IN THE BACKGROUND?? WE LOVE TO SEE IT

Anything that applies element periodically even without the caster being onfield is good enough for me.

Nilou skill I'm a little surprised wasn't on the list, I think her effect on the bloom reaction is kinda a game changer

The biggest reason I agree with Kazuha E being one of the best, is because the CD is perfect for constant swirl buffs without burst. And because you can easily double swirl.

1:59 VARS NO SHES 14 THATS A CHILD

These are great skills. I would have made a similar list but exclude raiden and shibobu’s skills.

I see, Vars is also livin' that Full Moon Life

I still think beidou's and yunjin's have the coolest elemental skills.Having the ability to defend an attack and giving it right back will never not be dope

Not only 4 electro units in the list but also 4 electro units that have their skills be off field, truly the electro queens.

Having ground out the Golden Wolflord boss for the past week, Corrosion builds the hell _up,_ that fight is so irritating when I'm relying on Furina for healing.

Out of context questions: is ToF worth to comeback? i stop right after Lin was released. spent a few bucks before in there and i have Frigg and Sakifuwa at c6 both.

i think Navia's skill should be in this list too

I think Yelan skill is a miss. It's just a big damaging skill. The traversal part is easily replaced by Sayu, Wanderer or Kirara.

faves so far (of what tested) i liek yelans skill, wanderors skill, bird adeptus human form (forgot her name atm), nahidia, raidon showgun and basicaly most the healers qiqi baizu kokomi furina eta eta.

Where Navia?

"No particular order" have some conviction vars.

Apart from Raiden, who is the most damage-oriented, all Archons tend to have Skills with useful effects in exploration, so I wonder what the Pyro Archon will be able to do

Kokomi’s skill should be on here It’s like the counterpart to fichl’s skill. APE hydro application and healing.

Xiao has the coolest skill in the game🗿

vars's hutao is just like mine. the burst damage can either be 10k or 100k

Surprised to see Shinobu here. I mean I use her on my main team, which is Hyperbloom, and I love her but didn't expect to see her make the list.

7:44 what's the most generous?

To be frank, if the value of Nahida's elemental skill is tied to her burst, so is Furina's.

Frauds immediately breaks his own rules by saying Skills only in a vacuum, not the character's whole kit, then includes Furina's passive to make her skill good. >Includes Hu Tao's skill which is attached to her basic attacks Slow clap.

Curious if there’d be the converse: worst skills/bursts.

not trying to be biased here, but kokomi deserves to be on this list too! although her release was kinda controversial due to the fact that she has negative crit rate, we can't deny that she's excellent at what she does best. her skill offers more than decent consolidation of roles needed for any team --- off-field AoE hydro application, massive heals, can extend duration through her burst, can equip ToTM for atk buffs or OHC for additional damage or SoDP for damage buffs.

Is that Full Moon Full Life from Persona 3 Reload?

I saw the thumbnail and i already thought of navia 💛

Before I watch the video I am Going to predict that Nahida and Furina skills are definitely in the top 10! Probably near the top!!🤔🤔

One that I’m shocked wasn’t here is Neuvillette’s O Tears, I Shall Repay. It’s the backbone of his entire kit(excluding his burst O Tides, I Have Returned)

no wriothesley skill?

I was expecting him to pick yone E over imortality of zhongli shield

Nahida should be No 1 And Furina should be 2nd

Honorable mentions for me would be YaoYao and Kokomi

Yae's turrets recognized!

I would rank childe as #1. Why? Reptide- The single most satisfying mechanics in all of genshin is unlocked by that skill 🗣️

what about normal attack top 10? probably not a too interesting list tho

anyone know the background music?

Outro music?

Itto should definitely be among the top ten best elemental burst. He practically gets the highest attack bonus from it

Poor Yoimiya, her skill is basically her entire kit

Should have included Barbara and Rasaria's skills here too

I’m not surprised kokomi skill didn’t make it on the list, it’s a good ability, but because it doesn’t follow at all, it’s much less effective
