      I disagree. While yeah he can be nice to fill teams that work fine with 3 characters and if you don’t have any really viable option for the 4th one, he’s not even that good in that domain cause you might as well just bring like kazuha. And yeah not dodging can give a small dps boost but having a character synergising . with the team will just give even more dps. So yeah he’s nice but he doesn’t deserve honorary mention

    Bennett's double edged sword (Self Pyro Application) finally became relevant with the release of Concecrated Beasts & Cryo Herald.
    Unlike playable characters, all enemies have no ICD, meaning that having constant self Pyro Application can punish you against enemy's attack (oneshotted by Vaporize/Melt), and his healing may or may not be able to keep up against self burning.

      it does keep up and even surpasses self burning (speaking from experience, hell, it surpassed burning+xiao's self harm)
      But I do agree that bennet feels like a double edged sword, which has been noticed as somethin you can take advantage of with jean sunfire. I'm glad that using bennet feels more risky, rather then be immortal+free atk buff. Even his circle feels like somethin you have to take time and think where to use it, cuz so many enemies now run around and away from you.

    Although kazuha and nahida doesn't necessarily 'provide' team-wide defensive capability, they have certain techs that I think can also be counted as "defensuve"
    First of all, Kazuha can jump mid-air allowing him to dodge any incoming ground attacks. If you ever fought Raiden Shogun boss, you know what I mean.
    Also, Nahida is basically immune to stagger whenever she holds her E and (as far as I know) she has the most i-frames in her burst, more than Keqing.
    So yeah. I think although they don't necessarily provide shield or healing, I think you should consider them too because rotations are a thing in genshin.

      Yeah in hindsight I should've swapped Nahida out for Alhaitham for the DPS if I was gonna put her in supports anyway. Initially my reasoning was that I didn't want every character in the DPS vid to be hydro/dendro so I made the DPS script and video before making the supports script and then sort of dug myself into a hole because I realized if I was gonna add Nahida to the supps video I could've added Alhaitham to the DPS list in her place after all.

      @@bartosz3329replying on my main channel. Basically I was concerned that by making 4 out of 5 characters on the dps video Dendro/hydro it would give off the impression that that’s the ONLY teams worth making (since a lot of viewers interpret top 5s as “these are the best, everyone else sucks”) so while I’m fully aware alhaitham is deserving to be on this list, I ultimately went with shogun who is a powerful damage dealer in her own right, perhaps not quite as strong as Al in terms of sheer numbers to numbers.
      To repeat in hindsight I could’ve left Nahida in the supports video and put in alhaitham anyway so that concern was over nothing. But basically my goal was to give viewers more options out of worry that by seeing a top five full of hydro/Dendro it would make a lot of viewers feel forced or pressured to only play Dendro and nothing else. It wasn’t out of personal bias. A lot of characters in Genshin are extremely powerful so practically speaking Shogun being on a top five list isn’t wrong per se. But technically speaking alhaitham is stronger, so yes he should’ve been on this list instead of shogun. But out of concern for people feeling pressured into playing only Dendro I made that concession, even though in the end I didn’t even need to.

    I would like to mention Layla because I found she works well with Hu Tao and her shield cooldown and shield duration is 12 seconds, meaning you could have almost infinite uptime on her shield with the right rotation. And based on my experience with using her, she's one of the, if not the number 1 best 4 star shield. Yea sure she can't heal like Diona can but I believe that the almost infinite uptime on her shield makes up for it

      Yup. It took me a while to realise his value is not shield strength, but shield duration. >100% uptime from a single activation means you can easily remain constantly shielded.

    Zhongli maybe reconsidered for the future, as a better support, if more monsters comes with properties like consecrated beats (which is super highly probable) the resistance to interruption could become vital
    So yeah, I hope community can be smart enough to understand how much dodges on a period of time are worst than using a 4rd slot on a interruption resistant character (if more monsters come like them and they haven't shown any intention to nerf them like other times in the past)
    To this moment no one has worked properly on that, and dodge it's not infinite

    I think people are sleeping on baizhu. He provides the same defensive habilities as kokomi healing the whole team with one e, and casting a shield that even though weak it provides resistance to interruption. I know koko applies hydro but so does baizhu with dendro (in a lesser way). Moreover contributes to dendro ressonace, and as you just said, em is in the current meta as important as atq if not more.
    Dont want to drag koko but point that baizhu is as good support as her.

    i wouldn't say xingqiu is best for freeze. he has a single target hydro application so it's a little more difficult to get hydro on a bunch of enemies compared to characters like kokomi, ayato or even mona. the best units for freeze work are a lot more uncomfortable to use wtih him as well, ganyu doesn't do normal attacks and ayaka has her burst + sprint that will waste a lot of xingqiu's burst uptime.
    he is definitely the best hydro 4* for freeze, but not *the* best overall

  • @0507MAZ
    @0507MAZ Před rokem +1

    Maybe i missed it, but i think you didnt mention that the main reason Nahida is OP as a support because she has the best dendro application. I realize that you said about the best consistency but not what is she consistent in. So far, imo, the closest one to having the most consistent dendro application is Alhaitham and DMC. I dont have Alhaitham so im not sure how true that is. But if i ever need reliable dendro applier. Its either Nahida or DMC. The others are pretty meh.

      If you are aiming for a hyperbloom team. Yelan would be the better option as the damage is from the Electro character.
      If you can use Xingqu alongside Yelan your hyperbloom team becomes better.
      Since folcalor'd kit has already been leaked, Essentially she drains HP for a dmg buff and is a Support similar to Bennett. We don't know the scaling as of yet but if you want the best option for your teams.
      Get Yelan and use a double hydro combination for your hyperbloom team. Then consider getting nahida as you have the hyperbloom team that basically destroys the game
