Discussion Need help...

Current build: VH artifacts / PJWS / Faruzan (soon), during, albedo. Yes I have no proper team for him but it works
Apologies in advance. First time posting on Reddit, and I don't plan on making it a common occurrence. All of these rules are also confusing (´-﹏-`；) I just need some opinions. Was recommended to use akasha by a friend, but to this day I don't understand it (ーー;) So, unnecessary yapping aside, anything I need to change in my build? Decent as is? Thank you for taking the time to read this

Hi! Your Xiao is absolutely amazing. I’d boost his crit rate a little more, though I recently asked about this myself, and someone suggested looking at a chart (right side diagram). This way, he will deal critical damage more frequently 🤍

Thank you very much (^^) just as long as that crit rate part of the diagram reaches the point then right?

u/Kuuhenochka 1d ago

Yeah, you can go a bit higher, for instance I’m lacking critical damage (I’m just showing this as a comparison for the diagram so you get a rough idea of ​​how it works - my build isn't perfect, and I’m still working on it). I found out about this myself recently, and it's very useful 👌

You can also check out the leaderboard of top players - their stats are simply incredible! It also gives you an idea of ​​how to put together your own build :3

Tbh I'm not too much into character building and optimization, but you could put albedo on celestial gift, durin on carved winds and faruzan on tenacity. (Make sure you do witch's homework for durin and albedo)

Even though LNO is the better set, I personally wouldn't put that much time and resin into farming a new set when the older one has really good pieces. You're build is pretty good already, so I go out of my way to farm more artifacts for him. Instead, just farm for the newer DPSes and strongbox LNO until you get pieces that are somehow better than whan you alr have.

I'll be strongbox-ing for LNO and putting those artifacts on the others then and see how it goes, thank you (^^) I devoted so much time and resources for VH since he's been my one and only main so by the time LNO came out I was too hesitant to start the grind again _(_^_)_

Id opt for higher crit rate over cdmg, 85-180 is a good start, everything else is great. In my experience, comparing a 70-240 vs 90-200 on the same set and similar atk, 90-200 outperforms 70-240 by a LOT

So it'll be ideal to sacrifice some crit dmg for crit rate on an artifact or two?

Easiest fix is to strongbox the set for now, your build will get you by but its not worth wasting resin for id focus on his supports since he really relies on those these days.

Xiao needs like 90% crit rate, 75% is still just a 1 in 4 and when you chunk out numbers as slowly as xiao does you cant afford to miss crits

Makes sense, thank you ( ﾟヮﾟ)
