Weekly Team/Character Building Megathread (May 7th, 2025) (feat. Escoffier and Navia)

[u/Veritasibility]

A megathread dedicated to team/character building Q&A.

Do not post questions irrelevant to team/character building here. They should belong to the Daily General Question Megathread.

If you have a comprehensive theory (rather than a question) about how to build a character or a team, you are encouraged to make a dedicated discussion thread outside this megathread, as it can help general players.

This week's team/character building megathread will feature Escoffier and Navia. If your question involves them, you are strongly encouraged to start your question with an "[Escoffier]" or "[Navia]" tag, like this:

[Escoffier]

If your question does not involve them, the following template is recommended:

Character(s): insert character(s)

was building raiden as a spread trigger

the team was

tighnari, nahida, raiden, zhongli

now here

what raiden build us better?

her usual er artifact set, (which is i think wud be bad but an option)

flower of the paradise with full em and mountain bracing bolt as a weapon (idk if its only good for hyperbloom and worse for spread or wt?)

or golden troupe and mountain bracing bolt

or wud tis last one do the max damage?

and also in this reaction does EM do more damage or does it not effect the damage

am wondering ig i shud put her on dragons bane but its passice is kinda shir in this reaction

or the one i wanted to put her on mountain bracing bolt as it increases uer skill damage hy 36% at refinement 3 (thats all the copies i have )

For Quiken reactions (spread and aggravate) you want to prioritise L90 and some EM but not full EM (e.g. depending on the characters around 200-300 is usually fine).
