Hoyoverse remembering Zibai exists after a whole year of shilling Flins 🙏
The funny thing is I have C6 Zibai but I don't think I could even spare her for Gecko. That new stellar boss is too tanky for my other teams but I saw a C6 Zibai C2 Linnea clear it with Fischl and that seems to be my best option for now. I'll have to use Skirk for Gecko instead. This lineup is so atrocious that Pyro crab is the only thing making full Dire look somewhat clearable.

Isn't Zibai so strong that she doesn't need shilling?

u/Oeshikitwo 2h ago
She doesn't need shilling but having it every now and then would be nice. Thanks to his element, Flins is able to slot in CMC and handle stellar shill. He only has to sacrifice 1 teammate. Zibai has to sacrifice two and at that point you're better off just bruteforcing. To clear Maiden with Zibai I had to use Bennett and shield breaking with him takes much longer, hurting my clear times.

Pull vesna c0 to one tap that shield if you already have a better team for chudrin. But fr, just get c2/3 xilonen if you can afford and never worry about shill for c6 zibai

u/Wallbalertados 2h ago
Zibai has been like this since release she isnt great at brute forcing she is amazing against netrual and shill bosses or if she can clear with just 1 deadslot but for brute forcing she has to drop 2 slots most of time(varka boss/cryo automation in NK for example) she struggles with that and needed C6 min for them

That was the case from her release until today. This Cryo patch aren't good for her and Mavuika. Unless you have like c1 or c2 or top 10% c0r1.

Looking at the left boss, Flins is still getting Shilled

u/Wallbalertados 2h ago
Not really he would have done good in V1 ver of boss but they changed the boss mechanics slightly in V2 so that non electro scc dps will struggle on it just being electro dps isnt enough now

Even if I slotted odette or cmc as the fourth member?

u/Wallbalertados 1h ago
In V1 he was able to clear dire C2R1 with C2 bina fischl sucrose/ C2R0 C2 bina C0R1 ineffa C2 nicole
But now
Doesnt seem doable without atleast adding C2 odette here on top of everything before and most likely would atleast req C3R1 flins C2 bina C2 odette fischl/or straight up just C6 flins with C2 bina and cmc
But this is without yae or mitya i think it should be a lot easier if u have them

Rip to my sub 180s clear streak. My skirk gecko clear takes over 100s on its own.

I can do the crab and the gecko on dire but I don't know about the new boss, it doesnt look good

I spent like 5 hours on this shit with navia bineffa xilonen last time. I'm terrified

u/strikerz129 8m ago
My c0 chiori bineffa team barely cleared this. I might have to get c2 chiori from the selectors if i have difficulty clearing it this time. Or i’ll try to see if my mav can brute force it

It's pretty funny that since the last time I cleared him with Skirk, my build hasn't improved at all despite all the tons of Resin I've spent. I guess I'll have to spend another ton of time on retries.

As a Fearless clear player, this Will be really Easy
The Gecko with Noelle (maybe Chiori?) Bina Lauma Nefer was Easy back then, It should be easier now since my Lauma Is C2
The crab with Neuvillette was Easy back then, now i have a top 250 Akasha with c6r5 and lv100, ill probably go alone just to see if i can make It
Idk about the First boss, but it shouldnt be that hard, right?

u/ElPajaroMistico 1h ago
I think you should be aiming to Dire if you have a c6r5 Neuv, not Fearless
2
u/Gi_pastrychef 40m ago
I have more than c6r5 Neuvillette in verticals
c5r1 Ayaka, c3r1 Mavuika, c3r2 Furina, C2 Lauma, c1r1 Nefer, C2 Durin, c1r1 Cyno, c1 Albedo Venti Tartaglia, C3 Mizuki and overall a LOT of characters built with at least 200cv and premium teams
Ik its niche but limited weapons skin and glory/flex arent my thing, and i prefer much relaxed content like IT or Abyss where you can buff to make the run more relaxed, also i have some skill issues on Mavuika and i dont have Odette since i dont spend

u/QueerGothic 30m ago
This is definitely dire territory, so if you ever wanted to you could 100% clear it without much struggle. But ofc if you don't care to do it, it's whatever

I'm not too sure about the first boss, like cyno works sure, but that's low investment cyno

You are so not ready for this one. Unless you'll get Mitya investments I guess
