Im pretty sure that an enemy can only take dmg from two explosions,  at max, at a time, iirc... atleast back when i played in v3.0 i remember that being said for burgeon, hyperbloom and such

when you want 2 characters so now you're stuck contemplating

Bro is made out of rainbows and sunshine fr

I’d like to join this hallucination where nahida is the only other dendro catalyst

But I don't want to pick the character I want. Quit forcing me to do what I want!!!

1:42 Correct good sir.

If you chase meta constantly, you'll earn more primos which will convert to more meta characters.
Good isn't it?. It isn't
By the time you want to pick up the character you really wanted but wasn't meta/wasn't fitting, the game is already so far ahead to enjoy those characters.

Get who you want, enjoy travelling, listening to the sweet melodies while jogging through the open world. No dailies, no mining, no artifact farming. Just walk and enjoy the game (or any game)

Every character is a great asset for Imaginarium Theatre

my brain tells me to get chlorinde but my heart tells me to get baizhu…

9:21 you do NOT need to do that 😭😭😭

Arguably this video is more helpful then the 'THIS IS THE META ONE, PICK THIS ONE' videos because usually there is a lot of bias in those videos not everyone is gonna need a Varesa but some people might need a Nilou, and when people keep getting told to get a certain character over the rest they might end up with a brick they don't enjoy playing with

2:14 Lauma and Nefer: Are we a joke to you?

Only 1 minute in and I already know this guy deserves a subscribe. We need more people who don’t just follow the algorithm and trends.

I have a C2 Baizhu and I love him. He's just really really solid and reliable and my good friend who brings so much comfort to my gameplay and consolidates dendro application with healing so nicely. I myself will be going for Chiori because she's beautiful and I have a C1R1 Linnea who can make her do fun Lunar Crystallize things, and I generally wanted Chori for a long time and never got the chance. But anyone who wants Baizhu, go for it, I promise that even now when the halcyon days of Dendro meta are gone you'll get a lot of value from him.

This is such a beautiful video idea!
... But damn, now I want them all ;w; </3

(I'm picking the Baizhu bitcoin)

LOVE the video idea. I also do belive, that everyone should just grab whoever they want from this banner, because it indeed doesn't really matter meta-wise. Personally I'm in two minds between Chiori, because I have her signature weapon, and Varesa, because I lost the 50\50 on her banner on release, and then never had the pulls to get her.

Even though I know it'll be a while before Hoyo offers another non-standard character selector, I hope you continue to make videos like these. These breakdowns of everything good a character has to offer, combat related or not, is honestly so much more helpful than the usual "Character X has bigger number, so why bother choosing anything else?"

Not only was I not able to decide between the characters I was contemplating about, but I ended up adding more to the list of characters I want. 😅
My indecisiveness aside, that was a great video, because at the end of the day this is a game and picking what is more fun for you is indeed the way to go.

Def getting Chiori. Don't have her, Tartar, and Chlorinde. Always wanted her, but never could really justify the cost. Temper theyself c1 makes her work with my Hex Navia.

Honestly thinking of getting my Chiori to C2 with this selector event.  Chiori is such a fun character, beautiful character.   I love using Klee + Chiori + Albedo + Kirara in a team together.  They're my primary exploration team and the off field damage both Chiori and Albedo provide is surprisingly more than enough to handle overworld enemies and most bosses/domains just fine.   Not meta but works.

Another thing about Baizhu that needs to be mentioned, he’s surprisingly a very good dps driver. His build might be very difficult tho since you need pretty much every single stat other than DEF and healing bonus and all of this while still having high / decent crit but trust me, he’s actually much better than you expect him to be.
Tried running him as main dps + driver in the Furina Raiden Nahida hyperbloom team, he usually does like 50-60% of damage in my case, 90k dps on tg emblem, 110k on Maruchausse, 8/10/9 C1 with everyone else around 1/9/9 at C0.
Also burning team was surprisingly good too. I mean obviously it’s because of the durcole but even so Baizhu was doing like 45-55% of the team’s damage. C0 Durin on Noblese, C0 Nicole on Celestial, C0 Emilie on Deepwood and Baizhu on Reverie ( not even good pieces btw ) and yet I had 125k dps which is surprisingly higher than how many of my teams perform lol.

Although even if you pick Baizhu just as support he’s still THE best healer in the game, you basically get instant TEAMWIDE 10k healing from just one skill and with free C1 it just doubles and there’s also burst that heals well and gives shield so it’s nearly impossible for you to even die if you have Baizhu in your team and especially if you have someone play Baizhu in coop. He’s basically the Zhongli if he was a healer and had Dendro vision.
Also by 10k healing I meant in the normal lazy build, if you actually spend some time getting decent artifacts for him you can easily get 13k healing from skill, with a perfect build might even achieve 15k.

And yes as said in the video he is very easy to build, if you really don’t care / are too lazy just give him PA and hp/hp/hp deepwood / noblese and youll already have ~48-50k hp, if you actually care about the build you can also run clam with hp/hp/hb, focusing fully on hp and ER substats. Mine has 48k hp, 190% ER and 50% healing bonus and I still think there’s a way to improve the build a bit since some pieces still have 1 wrong roll.
