@@taiyuuji123 Same, each region has a 5-star character besides the archon, that has the same element as the archon, that has equal importance/power over the region in some way, or is the leader of some sort of group that looks over matters in the country (Jean for Mondstadt as the Acting Grand Master of the Knights, Yae Miko for Inazuma as the shrine maiden of the Narukami Shrine, Alhaitham for Sumeru as the head sage of the Akademiya, Neuvillette in Fontaine as the Head Justice). All these nations have this in common except for Liyue, in which Ningguang would have been a perfect fit (even her burst animation is unique from all the 4 stars). I heard rumors once that she was actually a 5-star in the closed beta tests before genshin came out, but then they nerfed her for some reason :(
based on what i read on the comments before, it shouldve been keqing who is going to be a 4 star instead of Ningguang but due to having only Noelle as a 4 star geo then they decided to "downgrade" her for accessibility. same goes for barbara for being a healer.
I just find it sad considering that Ningguang existed on release and her dps out put is CRAZY compared to other charakters around that time, but her prime time was completely overlooked
Yea it’s unfortunate. I know I overlooked her because I was waiting to get more constellations for her but here I am in 2024 and I still only have a C1 ningguang 🤣
I don’t think she really was. There were just a lot less supports at the time. Her best team was basically just Zhongli, Bennet and Xiangling. She was my first main DPS and I had her C6 but she just didn’t really compare, especially when the early main DPS characters were Hu Tao, Xiao, and Ganyu
Love seeing ningguang getting some attention :) She's been my main since I started! Triple crowned and C6! She's really better than a lot of people think, my ningguang clears more comfortably than most of my 5 stars
Yea I was surprised at her damage output at the level investment I got to during this video. I want to showcase what she can do on the future once I have more investment and C6
At some point, it doesn't even matter if Geo is a bad element, not everything in this game has to be about reactions and hey, the playstyle is much more important than the element.
@boyonceknowles Having one or two playstyles that don't bother with it and instead relying on raw numbers adds variety and depth and gives players more options. Not everything is about reactions.
@@boyonceknowles Then what are you arguing for? Geo has Crystallize and DPS units benefit from the shield uptime for Geo Resonance and such. So going "um, actually reactions are everything" under this makes you look daft by comparison
To be fair, I think while Geo has no reactions, it is better off than cryo ATM. Morgana ruined the game for a long time, so freeze is useless. The cryo archon won't be able to fix it without a cracked artifact set, and the only sets you can you can use for Freeze have been around since 1.0. Melt while powerful, you need to build a Pyro and anemo unit to maximize the dmg and have a second unit with either cryo or Pyro with the icd in the way(yes xiangling exist but the energy requires 2 Pyro units)
"nobody builds 4* characters" most of my favorite characters are 4*s 😭 the frequent main dps characters i play are yanfei fremi sethos. if i could skip 5*s for later i wouldve tried to get as many constellations for sethos and ororon as i could. in fact, im gonna see if i can get mavuikas weapon for fremi to have the most powerful freminent in the world (looove to see ningguang love btw, she deserves it)
My favorite Ningguang team is Ningguang, Xilonen, Furina, Yelan. It's honestly really comfy. That being said, my Ningguang is C6 with 9/8/9 talents and a level 90 Lost Prayers so she's a little bit more invested than this one but the overall team still runs very smoothly. I think you might really enjoy giving it a try if you revisit Ningguang in the future :)
Just so you know, you can slot literally any character into that team in Ningguang’s place and they will be cracked. I’m sure you know that but cmon that’s such a piss argument for someone being good and I agree, I love her!
@@TheHobbyExpert The same can be said for a majority of DPS units in the game when you take away their supports. The two work in tandem. There is no shame in using what makes your units shine to the best of their ability. Some tools are made differently than others but you can still make any unit viable with the right pieces put together.
@@uraninezak Agreed. There's a limit to how strong you can make a character with just their build, and sometimes it just isn't enough. Obviously you could force whatever teams you want in the Abyss, but if you're just trying to play comfortably? It isn't worth doing that. There's nothing wrong with using the best supports you can, like you said.
I just found this channel a few days ago and have been watching a different video every day now because I finally found a youtuber who doesn't just play "meta" characters, but instead builds the characters I build. I get so tired of who's "meta". I love building and using the forgotten characters and the characters everyone sleeps on. Picking the same few characters everyone is using gets boring to me, so this channel has been perfect for me. So far, every character I've seen a video on has been a character I'm currently building or already have and still use them. I like it lol
you, mogawty and paikon are the only genshin creators left that i follow who still plays the game and actually enjoys playing. keep doing what you are doing man
As someone who mains Xingqiu for 4 years I've always seen the potential in 4* characters. It is crazy what they can do when ppl put time into making them dps
FINALLY A CC THAT HATES XIANGLING 😭 I could probably like clear alot more of the Abyss and do everything else with Bennett Xiangling Xinqiu and Sucrose but i hate all of them (maybe not sucrose that much but her skill and burst are literally the same thing but different size) I really like lynette but i like too many characters to add her to the team so im lookng forward to the next vid 😭 Got a new sub 🦅🦅
She gets way better at C6. Not a Navia, damage-wise, but even the combo changes. It's fun and the sound of her rocks hitting the enemies is satisfying as hell; but that's pretty much it 😅
Good video! Ningguang is a really difficult character to play optimally. In terms of 1.x chars, i believe her and Klee had the most tech in terms of animation canceling. Iirc, walk canceling to get max starjades with Ningguang into charged attacks was the optimal way to play her at that time, not sure if things have changed now. Still cool to see her built! Also, given Navia's existence, there are very few use cases where Ningguang is the optimal char to play and that's fine, whole point is to build characters that people don't generally, so have fun with it!
Omg I love your videos! And I agree with Klee and Ningguang. I love characters that utilize animation cancels that’s why I have always enjoyed playing Klee and why I have been having a lot of fun with Sethos. It is also why I wanted to try playing Ningguang. I just looked at keqingmains and it said the best overall was N2C if the enemy was further away or N1C if they were point blank so that was what I did during my runs. But I should’ve tried stacking max star jades as well to see the difference. I will revisit her eventually once I get more constellation’s for her.
@@taiyuuji123 I believe those combos assume you aren't walk canceling, though it's been a while since I revisited the motion value calculations for her NA/CA combo strings. Thanks for watching my vids!
Damn I missed out on so much damage. I literally practiced her walk cancels then went to check how many normals I should do before charged attacking then just assumed by what I saw that you didn't really need to do them. Thank you for letting me know.
Very cool video. My main goal in Genshin is to build every character I own, so I know that some characters fall behind at times. Despite that however, I still love using them and giving them purpose. I haven't built Ningguang herself yet, but it's nice to see someone giving her the love she deserves. Also, Heizou's pretty fun if you decide to build him. I run him on the Desert Pavilion Chronicle set with Furina, Faruzan, and Mika. He attacks super fast and his skill hits like a truck. It's awesome. Some things that caught my interest in this video were these: 10:10 Ah, the curse of DPS characters... I admire your dedication to finding a team where she can truly shine. I think DPS characters in this game really are difficult to find special teams with. Most of the time you're forced to structure teams around supports comps instead of using interesting combos. Of course, you can do that all you want, it just usually isn't optimal. Truly a shame. The best I've been able to do is build as many supports as I can and try to mix and match them as much as possible. 13:35 Geo technically does have a reaction: Shatter. Obviously though, it's not the greatest reaction. But if you ever want to build an interesting team for a geo character, try it out. It's pretty fun. Ningguang can trigger it with every normal attack, if I'm remembering correctly.
Kinda hate that you call it "building a lore accurate Ninguang" video but just take artifacts from another character and a random weapon and call it a day.. the crit ratio isn't even DPS worthy imo. There isn't actual investment other than levelling and talents. After this video, she is going to get benched once again without ever getting the proper treatment. :/
@MeatBeaterL literally tho my ninguang had a better build back when she got released only reason I dont use her /rebuild her rn is because im maximising friendship on all characters and preparing for Mavuika
Yea it actually took me a little bit to get used to her walk canceling. I’m not sure if this is real or not but I found going from walk canceling normals to doing a charged attack works better if I let go of the walk button. At first I was messing up a lot and ningguang would just be standing there doing nothing while I’m trying to charged attack until I started letting go of the walk button when going into them.
I feel people gets too impressed on Ningguang doing the "Unlimited Geo Works" trick and don't take a look at the importance of what her Screen does, she doesn't really show off as a main damage dealer, more of a supporting or commanding role and it's only once you get deep into her constellations that she gets off the chamber. i too got her C1 but i like to build characters based on their scalings so she works more of a supporting role on my teams with Geo application, shielding and a bit of healing/recharge via Amber Prototype and Wanderer's Troupe. 50/50 Pyro-Geo is not bad resonance, but you need a team that works well around Shields IMO, on my case i went for Xinyan, Thoma, Geo Traveler(ult burst with Noblesse) and Ningguang.
Ningguang was my first main DPS, I got her from the beginner's banner, along with the guaranteed noelle. Then later i got Bennet, and those 3 carried me far. My biggest issue with Ningguang is how clunky it is to user her kit. Her charged attacks have a tendency to miss small enemies, by flying over their head, or next to them, her burst sometimes just hits the ground or walls, instead of the enemies, her skill breaks on bosses, which is really annoying. Oh, and her attacks have to be cancelled by pressing forward and attack at the same time, if you want top DPS with her. I love her design, and she can definitely do good damage, but she is just very clunky, and ofc needs very high investment, cuz she is a 4star.
I love Ningguang. The moment the Echoing Woods set got released, I started building her. I slapped on her Neuvi’s signature weapon and put Furina in her team. I also specifically chose her in the last lantern rite to get her C6. She’s surprisingly super strong now.
It would be nice if like HSR where there are 5☆ versions of characters like dan heng, tingyun, and herta, Genshin would also implement that and give ningguang a 5☆ version!(It would be cool if her 5☆ version would be named, "Abundant Ningguang", cuz she rich af.)
I use Ningguang still, I run a double-geo double-pyro comp (Kachina, Benny, Xiangling, Ningguang) I hit like 10-20k charged attacks, lvl 90 w/lvl9 talents, 78CR 168CD, and my burst can hit up to about 6-13k per star jade depending on my buffs and she's actually only on a 3 star weapon (the Twin Nephrite at R5.)
Honestly love this!! Ningguang is one of my favorite characters as well!! One of my builds I have for her is Ningguang, Furina, Baizhu, and Zhongli I'll keep messing with teams but that is what I have settled with for now! 💙
THREADS OF FATE!!! Ninnguan was secretly cracked at 1 time. But now the enemies have so much HP in the abyss. Without busted multipliers and reactions, its hard to push through.
Old characters just getting powercrept. Hoyo releases another imbalanced character, then immediately raises the Abyss HP multiplier in order to compensate it. This is the reason why my old characters can't do Abyss on 36* anymore despite the better builds and higher level than a year ago.
Ningguang is just a flat geo damager as said in the video. She has a couple roles she can fill as Main DPS or Burst DPS for mono geo teams. Her best support as Main DPS is truly Zhongli because of what he provides her. Zhongli is universal as we know, but he also provides her with a smidge more than some others because of how her kits resonates with his. Granted he can provide this with most geo synergies but this is about how if we are framing her as Main DPS he supports her pretty much best compared to any other in the game. •geo resonance up longer due to having the strongest shield in-game, resonance strengthens his shield by 15% •shield providing 20% res shred •pillars resonate with Jade Screen for geo AoE and geo particles Zhongli if he has Tenacity of the Millelith provides: •an even stronger shield (+30% shield-4pc) •Atk buff (+20% atk-4pc) In particular though, with his pillars resonating with Ningguang's Jade Screen, it extends the range of the AoE easier to proc his 4pc set. This works for both of her roles as DPS or Burst DPS. She doesn't have a ton of other supports that are specific to her as a Main DPS. Gorou can only provide support for her if you have the proper constellations of him increasing geo damage and potentially healing. Healing isn't exactly a huge factor for her with such low HP. Its best to shield her up. Nothing on her kit scales off defense so that part of his buffing does nothing for her or her better DPS sets. Correct me if I'm wrong though, but from what I know of Xilonen; she doesn't provide much for Ningguang either other than the synergy and just an overall team buff from the Natlan Scroll set. Her res shred only applies to elements that can crystallize. For her to at least provide healing you can't run Xilonen on mono geo which is a must for the Scroll set to even work anyway on her. The only synergies I come across as a Ningguang main myself are hydro to support Zhongli's HP which makes him a better support overall (will bump Ningguang's Jade Screen's shielding a bit though its not important), or pyro resonance. Both resonances are likely just going to require Furina or Bennett respectively as they're universal damage buffers and healers. Cryo can be fine for the crit rate% but its truly if you need help with the crit ratio split. Last thing I want to plug when playing her, make sure to consistently run through her screen for the geo dmg buff it provides. It's nothing grand but it does help her damage output. This also just goes for her being a burst sub DPS on mono geo teams. You can run her with 4pc Noblesse Oblige to buff her burst and then provide a team wide buff. The reason why this works is because of how frequent you can recharge her burst due to low energy cost. And on mono geo, she can provide the geo damage buff from her Jade Screen to your Main Geo DPS.
I actually love more 4 stars than 5 stars. Also, i'm just enjoying when some characters are able to use their cannon/esthetically fitting weapon. Like Bennet with Traveler's Keeper, cause i'm that kind of player
11:31 As a Kaeya main, that was an instant sub moment right there. :D Anyhow, fun idea!! I hope you do more of this. I also think that 4-stars are some of the most fun characters in a game. Maybe not the strongest, but honestly... who really cares? :D Games were made for fun, not for efficiency.
Started midway through this year ran traveler, Xianling, Lisa, Noelle, on overload team until... Ok i still use it vs narwhal. Got ningguang and had fun messing around with her kit. Really need to build her more. I say this as i stare at my second abyss team that also needs to be brought up to clear floor 12 with some stars.
I mean, I like using my Ningguang, but except when she's standing on a personalized battleship house loaded to the gills with donated Adeptal magic and government funded modified Adepti weaponry, a Lore Accurate Ninnguang would be a famous paper pusher who only got her Vision relatively recently, probably never trained in using catalysts until after that, spends her downtime mostly hanging around civilians, and considers fighting some small monster encampments while backed up by the Traveler to be enough to work up an appetite.
when i started the game i pulled crazy ningguang cons and i had zero dps'.... she really carried me till ar 50 and her damage is insane and she's so easy to play
7 of my top 10 favorite characters are 4-stars (Ningguang being one of them, just recently got C0), I only have one of the 5-star ones on that list, and I will probably never get the other two. (I'm not in it for the meta)
Yea I for sure need to level up my elemental skill. I didn’t in this video because I didn’t have that many resources to work with but also because I didn’t have C2. Being able to use skill twice in the same rotation will help a lot with damage output/energy especially after I’ve leveled it.
Sounds good to me once I have the resources I’ll start working towards building him. Luckily an archon quest just dropped which means some extra mora 🤣
Correct me if im wrong, but ningguang was actually intended and supposed to be a 5*, but since their can never be a solo 4* element character, they downgraded her
I am using my Lantern Rite 4 star selector on Ningguang and there and a thing anyone can do about it... not cause of this video though, I was gonna do it anyway. But I am stealing the build :P
Im glad someone else agrees that xiangling doesnt pass the vibe check. I dont like her and its made all the worse that shes so strong and fits on every team
Justice for my queen, Ningguang. It still upsets me that she got downgraded to 4 star when she was supposed to be a 5 star, because then we see her in the story where she literally just kills an old god with her own created jade chamber. it's just wild. She can do like, archon level elemental manipulation lol.
remember that back then her damage was said to surpassed few 5 star dps like keqing and diluc? i'll just keep on praying that genshin devs team will give or even convert her into a 5* just like what they did to Dan Heng and March (soon) in hsr🥲😓
she would've been better as a 5 star tbh
For real though. My theory is that she was intended to be a 5 star originally but then at some point they downgraded her.

I love Ningguang. The moment the Echoing Woods set got released, I started building her. I slapped on her Neuvi’s signature weapon and put Furina in her team. I also specifically chose her in the last lantern rite to get her C6. She’s surprisingly super strong now.
I’m picking Ningguang next lantern rite for sure so I can atleast get C2
@@taiyuuji123 she’s totally worth it!
@@taiyuuji123let’s go!! She become a beast at c6.
It would be nice if like HSR where there are 5☆ versions of characters like dan heng, tingyun, and herta, Genshin would also implement that and give ningguang a 5☆ version!(It would be cool if her 5☆ version would be named, "Abundant Ningguang", cuz she rich af.)
Hate the fact that a random tailor is a 5 Star but NOT HER.. like what
Xilonen made me want to build her always loved Ningguang fully buffed skill is hitting for 100k and burst 113k
I hate everyone in hoyoverse who suggested to make ningguang a 4*- a honest ningguang simp
I use Ningguang still, I run a double-geo double-pyro comp (Kachina, Benny, Xiangling, Ningguang) I hit like 10-20k charged attacks, lvl 90 w/lvl9 talents, 78CR 168CD, and my burst can hit up to about 6-13k per star jade depending on my buffs and she's actually only on a 3 star weapon (the Twin Nephrite at R5.)
Honestly love this!! Ningguang is one of my favorite characters as well!!
One of my builds I have for her is Ningguang, Furina, Baizhu, and Zhongli
I'll keep messing with teams but that is what I have settled with for now! 💙
This convinced me to build Rukkadevata.
Who’s Rukkadevata?
Archon of wisdom
or ig nahida archon form??
@@EmuKurroChurrothat's a joke "who is rukhadevata" because she irase herself from irminsul
@@deepspacewife oh ok
THREADS OF FATE!!!
Ninnguan was secretly cracked at 1 time. But now the enemies have so much HP in the abyss. Without busted multipliers and reactions, its hard to push through.
Old characters just getting powercrept.
Hoyo releases another imbalanced character, then immediately raises the Abyss HP multiplier in order to compensate it.
This is the reason why my old characters can't do Abyss on 36* anymore despite the better builds and higher level than a year ago.
Ningguang is just a flat geo damager as said in the video. She has a couple roles she can fill as Main DPS or Burst DPS for mono geo teams.
Her best support as Main DPS is truly Zhongli because of what he provides her. Zhongli is universal as we know, but he also provides her with a smidge more than some others because of how her kits resonates with his. Granted he can provide this with most geo synergies but this is about how if we are framing her as Main DPS he supports her pretty much best compared to any other in the game.
•geo resonance up longer due to having the strongest shield in-game, resonance strengthens his shield by 15%
•shield providing 20% res shred
•pillars resonate with Jade Screen for geo AoE and geo particles
Zhongli if he has Tenacity of the Millelith provides:
•an even stronger shield (+30% shield-4pc)
•Atk buff (+20% atk-4pc)
In particular though, with his pillars resonating with Ningguang's Jade Screen, it extends the range of the AoE easier to proc his 4pc set. This works for both of her roles as DPS or Burst DPS.
She doesn't have a ton of other supports that are specific to her as a Main DPS.
Gorou can only provide support for her if you have the proper constellations of him increasing geo damage and potentially healing. Healing isn't exactly a huge factor for her with such low HP. Its best to shield her up.
Nothing on her kit scales off defense so that part of his buffing does nothing for her or her better DPS sets.
Correct me if I'm wrong though, but from what I know of Xilonen; she doesn't provide much for Ningguang either other than the synergy and just an overall team buff from the Natlan Scroll set. Her res shred only applies to elements that can crystallize.
For her to at least provide healing you can't run Xilonen on mono geo which is a must for the Scroll set to even work anyway on her.
The only synergies I come across as a Ningguang main myself are hydro to support Zhongli's HP which makes him a better support overall (will bump Ningguang's Jade Screen's shielding a bit though its not important), or pyro resonance.
Both resonances are likely just going to require Furina or Bennett respectively as they're universal damage buffers and healers.
Cryo can be fine for the crit rate% but its truly if you need help with the crit ratio split.
Last thing I want to plug when playing her, make sure to consistently run through her screen for the geo dmg buff it provides. It's nothing grand but it does help her damage output.
This also just goes for her being a burst sub DPS on mono geo teams. You can run her with 4pc Noblesse Oblige to buff her burst and then provide a team wide buff. The reason why this works is because of how frequent you can recharge her burst due to low energy cost. And on mono geo, she can provide the geo damage buff from her Jade Screen to your Main Geo DPS.
Chongyun is fun to play in a plunge-shatter team if you have Xianyun.
I actually love more 4 stars than 5 stars. Also, i'm just enjoying when some characters are able to use their cannon/esthetically fitting weapon.
Like Bennet with Traveler's Keeper, cause i'm that kind of player
Never regretted building her and never will 🫡
I build 4 stars more then 5 stars tbh
You are better than me. At first I only built my 5 stars, Bennett and Fischl.
Based (idem)
I think you building four star characters is very good, especially for f2p players who aren’t always able to get all the broken five stars
11:31 As a Kaeya main, that was an instant sub moment right there. :D
Anyhow, fun idea!! I hope you do more of this. I also think that 4-stars are some of the most fun characters in a game. Maybe not the strongest, but honestly... who really cares? :D Games were made for fun, not for efficiency.
She was my second triple-crowned character (Diluc was first). I love her so much, the gameplay is super fun to me and like you said... she is hot
9:19 brother I’m ar 55 and I have 6 mora you’ll be fine
if she was made as a five star meant to be strong and a character that normal 4 stars cant compare to she would be amazing tier
With cryo resonance + rosarias crit rate buff that ningguang prolly had 100% or more crit rate lol
It was close to it 🤣 I swapped my artifacts around and after the buffs I think I was around 93 crit
love to see my queen received the treatment she deserves 🙌
Ningguang doing more dmg than my Hu Tao lol
Started midway through this year ran traveler, Xianling, Lisa, Noelle, on overload team until... Ok i still use it vs narwhal. Got ningguang and had fun messing around with her kit. Really need to build her more. I say this as i stare at my second abyss team that also needs to be brought up to clear floor 12 with some stars.
Ningguang is one of my fav character because she's the first 4 star i got when i started playing 🥰🥰🥰
no way, a genshin player who also knows megaman zero especially cannonball
Megaman zero is SO GOOD! Cannon ball is one of my favorite sound tracks from the games
Man I love Kaeya as well
I mean, I like using my Ningguang, but except when she's standing on a personalized battleship house loaded to the gills with donated Adeptal magic and government funded modified Adepti weaponry, a Lore Accurate Ninnguang would be a famous paper pusher who only got her Vision relatively recently, probably never trained in using catalysts until after that, spends her downtime mostly hanging around civilians, and considers fighting some small monster encampments while backed up by the Traveler to be enough to work up an appetite.
when i started the game i pulled crazy ningguang cons and i had zero dps'.... she really carried me till ar 50 and her damage is insane and she's so easy to play
leme tell u something my girl ningguang did more work then zhongli. THE WORK OF A 5 STAR FOR THE RANK OF A 4 STAR
neeeed you to do a heizou video, i somewhat main him and it'd be great to see a youtuber actually try him out
7 of my top 10 favorite characters are 4-stars (Ningguang being one of them, just recently got C0), I only have one of the 5-star ones on that list, and I will probably never get the other two.
(I'm not in it for the meta)
Bruh. My friend ninguang does 100k jade screen. And about 20-40k hits per rock. Shes a ning main btw
Yea I for sure need to level up my elemental skill. I didn’t in this video because I didn’t have that many resources to work with but also because I didn’t have C2. Being able to use skill twice in the same rotation will help a lot with damage output/energy especially after I’ve leveled it.
Really? How?? My ningguang cant reach that dmg yet..
@@sayonarasana651 its a really good ninguang and she have all the support she needed. C6R4 Lost Prayers ning, Have furina bennet and c4r1 xilo.
The fact that itto is a 5 star
I also started building ningguang since i needed her for navia, what are the coincidence
ningguang will forever be my main
i was trying to make beidou a carry because my nahida chinqiu and kuki as her team and i want a team to use a team of her being the carry
Bro couldve just said he didnt pull for chiori
Tell that to the Chiori right up there between Navia and Xilonen.
Her beast teamcomp (by far) is Bennett/Furina/Xilonen imo
Heizou. Please I'm begging-
Sounds good to me once I have the resources I’ll start working towards building him. Luckily an archon quest just dropped which means some extra mora 🤣
Geo ladies supremacy
Now get her C6.
I’m trying 😭
Correct me if im wrong, but ningguang was actually intended and supposed to be a 5*, but since their can never be a solo 4* element character, they downgraded her
My ningguang team is kinda like this:
Ningguang
Raiden Ei
Bennett
Chevr or Sara if not xilonen
I am using my Lantern Rite 4 star selector on Ningguang and there and a thing anyone can do about it... not cause of this video though, I was gonna do it anyway. But I am stealing the build :P
how is her charged attacks 40k while the talents are still level 1???
The buff maybe? My lv 8 talent cant do that much
I hope i can get benner for my ningguang soon. She deal decent dmg, but cant really do as many as your ningguang
would a shatter team work with her? since that's an offensive reaction that geo can use
That… could technically work with a C2 Citlali (she gives EM)
mine triple crown XD
Based
What if you replace Xilonen with Kachina, whose artifact set also buffs?
It still works, you just don’t get the res shred. I ran Kachina, Ningguang, Xiangling, Bennett and it was still decent.
Im glad someone else agrees that xiangling doesnt pass the vibe check. I dont like her and its made all the worse that shes so strong and fits on every team
40k skill dmg with no support😊(c1)
Support : 4* can be stronger than 5 stars
DPS : 4* are trash they cant do dmg
Lynette please!!!!
One vote for heizou 🙃
I got you Caiti!
lynette please! :)
🥰🥰🥰 great job!
Justice for my queen, Ningguang. It still upsets me that she got downgraded to 4 star when she was supposed to be a 5 star, because then we see her in the story where she literally just kills an old god with her own created jade chamber. it's just wild. She can do like, archon level elemental manipulation lol.
Plzzzz do freminet some time
I will add him to the list
Xiangling showcase averted, MAD respect
4* dps curse. Me and my C3 Gaming being better than C6 Diluc 😅
remember that back then her damage was said to surpassed few 5 star dps like keqing and diluc? i'll just keep on praying that genshin devs team will give or even convert her into a 5* just like what they did to Dan Heng and March (soon) in hsr🥲😓
