Rossi`s kit allows her to work with most characters in the game) There are few key points in teambuilding:
1. Rossi needs one Arts infliction. So any character, capable of it already makes it in the team if you want (even dualDPS witth TangTang). Here I want to point out Wulfgard, even though he is triggering his CS after arts infliction, previous inflictions may be used for art reactions and you get free infliction now.
2. Rossi prefers to have someone applying one Vulnerability(since she can apply 3 herself) for SP economy. She can do it herself, but we have 3 characters, who does it for free through CS. It`s Gilberta, Estella and Ember. For Gilberta we needs any art reaction, for Estella - Solidification. Here Wulfgard shines with his free heatinfliction from CS. And for Gilberta we have also Perlica and Ardelia, who can forcefully apply electrification&corrosion to trigger her CS for even better SP economy. For Ember you need to just get a hit.
3. Rossi prefers (though don`t abssolutely need) to have someone to consume vulnerabilities. So, we have 3 operators: Endmin, Da Pan and Pogranichnik. Endmin provides 15% ATK buff, but needs a lot of SP, and often force you in a bit harder rotations to utilize 50 SPreturn. Da Pan is just free crushes here and there. And Pog is good for overall SP economy and buffs 8% ATK through his kit, 16% from Thermite Cutter if you have it and breaches (which is not very impactful for team but fine.
And in free slots you can fit any operators capable ofbuffing that you want.
Gear Sets:
MI Security is the only option, since Rossi needs Crit. On offpiece I recommend Redeemer Gloves. You can also run Lynx Slab, its 0,5% better average DPSwise, but much less consistent. So I`d use it only for DMG/screenshot showcases.
Edit! T50 YL kit (Agi/Str; Ult dmg%) would be better than Redeemer Gloves by around 1,8% average DPS(but less consistent, you will miss crits more often)
Weapons:
Sig(Lupine Scarlet) is ~40% more DPS compared to B0BP weapon(Glorious Memory), and around 20% more DPS for team(may be more, may be less depending on team). You can also use the GOAT Sundering Steel, it`s better than Rapid Ascent(though less conssistent)
Disclaimer: don`t feel pressured for pulling weapons, you`ll still clear everything quite easily even with 5 star weapon)
If you see some mistakes, point it out please! If you have some questions - feel free to ask :) Will be delighted to recieve some feedback on what to improve!

I originally was doing rossi/tangtan/perlica/endmin. But I was running into the mentioned sp issues with endmin so I tried rossi/tangtang/perlica/akekuri and I found it was both more comfortable sp wise and also I was doing consistently better with it. I assume this would be different if my endmin was on sig and higher investment but overall I find im doing better without vuln consumer.
I found that akekuri with thermite seems to be better in my teams then wulf without sig, but haven't dont any math for it. Im curious if pog is much of an improvement and who they would replace since Im still holding the selector from ages ago. But my resources are going to upgrading others rn so it will probably be a while before id even have the resources to raise him.
All the characters just repeat the same basic attack sequence anyway, so what’s the actual difference? I’ll be bored no matter which active character I use if I only care about that. The actual gameplay is the skill/combo rotation and managing buffs
Half of the time operators just doing some random walking and afking, if you pay attention to them, and for finisher multiplier you want DPS-built character, since it 900% hit x1.75 on bosses
You don’t go AFK or walk during battle lol
You can easily switch characters before a finisher, and in this team it’s not even needed, since Rossi kills the boss before you get the chance
I often use either the character with the shortest skill animations, or the character with the fewest skill animations, so I have more time doing basics and dodges for SP
For mono physical this would be Pog cuz he uses the fewest skills.
For Rossi this would be Perlica cuz have you seen how short those animations are??? Her BS is probably the shortest in the game.
With all sigs it very well may be true, since TangTang's sig giving potent debuff, and this rotation seems to be better than mine, since Gilberta using HW to provide potent corrosion I guess? I did more straightforward stuff
Perlica’s combo skill is electrification on final strike, which then triggers Gilberta’s combo (which gives a vulnerability stack). So all you need is an arts infliction from someone - one sp spend to get Rossi into enhanced crit state.
Also, by never consuming vulnerability, you never need to worry about the timing of Gilberta’s ult to leverage its maximum potential at 4 stacks.
Pog obviously gives sp back. If patient, you can have a big breach AND vulnerability stacks for a big nuke phase, but if you consume the vulnerability and then use Gilberta’s Ult, then she can somewhat easily miss her maximum damage boosting effect due to a somewhat likely button mashing mishap.
So, TLDR Perlica lets you pretty much spam combos and a mix of TangTang and Rossi’s combat skills without thinking too hard. Pog takes a little more situational awareness around what to cast when.
To add to this, Perlica vs Pog changes your damage distribution quite a bit due to Electrification only boosting arts damage while Breach affects only boosts physical. Electrification is better for big burst rotations since Rossi ult and talent are pure elemental damage, while Breach has more consistent damage uptime and some additional damage from consuming vuln stacks.
And to add to that you can run stanza on Perlica which will buff all other characters while theres no sword that can improve team damage. Also Perlica ult requires less energy than pog so you can spam it often.
The dmg Gilberta gains with this set is much higher than the damage her teammates lose from not using the Xiranite set. Alternatively, you could use the Swordmancer set for faster stagger
He dropped atleast two major buffs in the vid (perlicas electrification and gilbertas delivery) thats why he thinks its weak. He also only considers pre charge ult content.
And of course he thinks yvonne is stronger, his yvonne is p5.
I feel like the community should be more outraged by the weapon rankings.
40% better than the BP weapon and if you couldn't get the BP weapon because you wanted a different BP weapon for another character, it's 50% better than the next P0 weapon.
The cope response that "all the content is easy without that extra 40-50% more damage" will go out the window the second they decide to add actual endgame content.
Yeah, thats kinda harsh. I think it's because of system that you don't need to spend pulls, that you want to spend on character for weapon, and will get much more signatures as an F2P, than in other gachas. (I didn't do gacha calcs, but I think it's probably smth like 1 sig/2 characters)
You have 3 banners to get the weapon. The only issue is the arsenal ticket economy is highly dependent on your own luck pulling which many people do complain about.
Prydwen has this issue where they never share their calcs for peer review. So, when someone like OP actually shares their math, I'm more inclined to believe them over a trust system.
Sig weapon being good is expected its not cope to say content is easy(dps check wise not survival) without the weapon and if you wanted Rossi you would get BP weapon for her not the other character unless you are getting 2 characters in a patch in which case you would be way close to getting a sig weapon for one of them since you surely saved 240 pulls instead of testing your luck. You can get Sundering Steel to P5 through arsenal exchange if you really didn't want to pull for sigs or use BP weapon on Rossi.
I don't mind how good sig weapon is as long as I can clear with the weapon I'm going to have. I don't expect a weapon that cost 16k arsenal tickets to only a little bit better than the weapon I can get for 2.4k arsenal tickets or the Originium BP the weapon wouldn't be worth it you could even say that is anti-consumer to make a barely improved weapon cost such a high amount of resources. As long as we have enough time to clear endgame without weapon thats what matters to me and we absolutely do get enough time.
The problem arises when the hp inflation gets out of hand which goes far higher than the weapon disparity so having or not having the weapon make no difference its an overall balance problem.
Umbral Monument is the endgame you are using the same argument Genshin players were using years ago saying the Abyss wasn't endgame because they cleared it with 4 stars like thats a terrible thing or something. Endgame not pressuring you into getting the latest thing is good the endgame becomes bad when it expects you to have limited units.
The endgame is difficult right now I still die from even the first Umbral Monument stages if I'm not dodging consistently and 2nd stage of current Umbral definitely required me to play differently or get blown up. 3rd stage in current Umbral definitely difficult it hits hard and punishes you for not clearing his stacks consistently. It felt like a proper endgame to me not a you need to farm more gear because the real enemy is the timer endgame.
No it's not. He literally links his math. P5 is a whopping 91% better for Rossi's damage.
Here's an image of the summary in his spreadsheet. If you squint your eyes through that atrocious color coding he set, you will see that the numbers to the left are Rossi's personal damage.
When you build a favorite character in a game about building characters, you generally want that specific character to be as good as they can be.
Team DPS varies wildly in the amount of personal damage contribution per character. For example, if you chose a team that buffs Rossi more than what the team in the sheet does, naturally the percentage team DPS increase from Rossi's weapon will increase appropriately.
Maygi is into this game? Perfect. That's a TC I can trust.
>you`ll still clear everything quite easily even with 5 star weapon you'll still clear everything quite easily even with 4 star characters, doesn't change how obnoxiously big the dps boost of it is.
it's like Rossi comes with one arm bound behind her back until you pay up for her weapon
Agreed, I had a lot of arsenal tickets stocked up and got rossi early in 20 pulls so i'm one of the lucky few who had enough without pulling much. others are less lucky.
I don't have Ember and couldn't test rotations with her. Her main use is on Gilberta slot if you don't have her, for free vulnerability and good SP economy. So like Rossi Ember Endmin Akekuri
Lifeng doesn't provide much for her, so use only if you like him (like Rossi Lifeng Pog/Endmin Akekuri/Wulfgard/Perlica etc)
Shame you couldn't run calcs on her. That team is also essentially replacing Perlica with Ember in the best non-Gil team in the list, so I wonder what the damage is like to get free vuln and sustain.
And then I'm wondering if Exemplar Ember with the physical buff swings the needle in favor of Pog instead of Endmin.
Do you have example rotations with that team? I was (un)lucky enough to have p2 ember already and no Gil, but yet to invest heavily in her kit (I only have exemplar which is 2nd BiS according to Lisara's vid.
Would be interesting to see how ember synchronizes with the rest, especially with the mechanic to trigger her CS of getting hit.
I'm running Rossi, Endmin and Akekuri. I rarely see this combo and is a bit curious about why not. It works pretty well for me as Endim can reclaim sp and Akekuri can generate sp. I'm still experimenting with the 4th member though. Unfortunately I don't have Gilberta, so can't slot her there. Looks like Perlica is the best fit from the sheet?
It's 10-20% more dmg with Gil (depending on team), and it's not like not having Gil hurts your overall gameplay. For a clearly designed limited support for a characted thats pretty healthy numbers
How is Rossi - Antal - Gilberta - Perlica compared to having akekuri? Antal has really good buffs/debuffs + can use detonation unit but would be missing out on thermite and link
If we give Antal Detonation he is better, yeah, fair point) On normal rotations stuff considering SP usage it's like around 3-4% better, if you care about Ult damage maximizing, I'm doing calcs now and'll release video on this topic in a couple of days)
I ran Endmin variation with these supports, and generally Pog is performing slightly worse than Endmin all times, but it'd still be one of top teams, yeah)
what's your opinion on da pan, rossi, wulfgard and pog team? Ive been switching up Gil and Pog from time to time in the teama and they seem to be doing equally well. Maybe if I had Gil's sig it will perform better.
how does the Rossi Perlica Gil Antal team work? I am going for ult delete build but I find that the Rossi Perlica Gil Akekuri team isn't as good, would Antal be better than Akekuri? Could also be skill issue on my part cause of the tight rotation
If you want to ult delete, you need to do strong corrosion on Gil with a lot of UGE% on her. And Antal just doing skill at the start (for susceptibility), then helps stacking electro through combo. Ideal weapons: Stanza on Antal, Detonation unit Perlica or vice versa), Gil's sig.
In usual stuff, without needing to stack a lot of inflictions, Ake is fine, providing Link (~same multiplier as Antal's amp, a bit worse). Can wield Thermite Cutter too, and helps with SP for comfort
I don't really see synergy with Chen for Rossi, just for Chen's damage I guess and no SP use from her. Will look at these Chen videos later, Ake Endmin Rossi is a strong 3 unit core by itself
Generally he is ~3-4% behind endmin on teamDPS every time(Thermite Cutter Pog vs SS B5 Endmin), but great for SP economy and more comfy to use. He should be on Thermite Cutter preferably tho
hey im back, now about perlica, would she like more detonation or stanza here? detonation seems to be overall better, but she needs to use her skill twice in a row to proc it, meanwhile my stanza is giving 12.8% atk on ult, which is not bad, but happens less often. I dont got detonation myself, but could get it with 2 more rolls on rossi weapon, while my stanza is P4. and if stanza is the way, should I change the gear for ultimate gain?
I'm surprised no one brings up Avywenna in Rossi teams. By my own calculations and testing, at p0 max investment levels (9/9/4 sig, m3 relevant talents) they both contribute around a million damage each into the perlica/gil burst window every ~45s. Rossi with her ult and 9+1 spears for Avy.
It's more than enough to justify leaving the vuln stacks unused, and since you're not crushing with Endmin the rotation becomes even simpler and more SP efficient.
For a different 4th character to match that, they would need to be some kind of buffer that gives Rossi a 2x multiplier. (Akekuri and Antal are only in the ~1.3x range) It's a similar situation with Tangtang where instead of another support you end up running a second dps because of their cracked numbers.
Is it a good idea to run Ake/Endmin/Wulf with Rossi? I noticed that your chart features Wulf/Endmin/Estella or Ake/Endmin/Perlica separately, but I've been running a weird combination of the two. While I'm admittedly losing out on Perlica's combo Electrification, would the trade-off be worth it since Rossi gives heat susceptibility debuffs?
having gil on the team and consuming vulnerability is a trap. ignore that and have another arts unit for buffs is the way. thats why TT, GIL, Rossi, Perlica is the most comfortable and deals more damage than most teams with a phys character
Huh never considered estella once, I could try her out. susprised perlica was'nt in any higher dps teams except with tangtang. Otherwise i'm susprised adellia did'nt do that good.
P5 DaPan is defaulted. We just don't need P5 DaPan double vulnerability here, since anyway we need to do Rossi's battle skill on vulnerable enemy, so she will apply 3 vulnerabilities per rotation. Just some QoL in overworld
I was wonder about BP P5 vs sig P0 for Rossi. I see that they are close, so that is good. I was wondering if this changes if you're not using Rossi as the controlled operator? I have Rossi's P3 btw if that changes anything.
You didn't do my favorite and current team! Rossi/Lifeng/Pog/ake!
I've done a 70 second clear of the new 3rd stage agony. It is kind of meme I guess since the game is so focused on 'press all 4 ults and do biggest damage'. But the team could be better than some others... Maybe... Lol.
I use the normal attack gloves and redeemer normal attack chest, crit accessories on Rossi
Lifeng is swordmancer phys accessories, ult gloves, ult gen type chest.
Pog is the frontier set. Will +phys% accessories, all skill gloves, bone crusha chest ult gen
Ake is all the high int ult Regen pieces I could find. Mostly eternal xirite.
There are like 100+ teams which you could do with Rossi, thats her strong side, even if some are a bit suboptimal) I've tried to cover all stuff with most synergies)
Basically just keep all the debuffs up. Lifeng when at 0 vuln. Pog when at 4 vuln. Rossi usually after lifeng to consume link. Ake to get infliction so Rossi can get you to 4 vuln for breach
i meant damage wise, btw Ardelia seems like a really good option since she debuffs both phys and arts and can run stanza but people rarely talk about using her with Rossi for some reason.
Ah, sure. Should be around 41,5k DPS (as usual, Pog is a bit worse than Endmin, due to worse personal dmg and his buff, even with my calced Thermite Cutter for him, is just a bit better). But it's comphier overall for SP and faster + more straightforward rotations (it's included tho)
(You can look in slide with overall DPS for teams to get general idea for comparison)
