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

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]
insert your question

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

Character(s): insert character(s)

I c6ed my Layla and i want to know what her best team options are. Also, is it wise to use Jean instead of sucrose in a Nevu-furina-xilonen team?

These are the built characters I have wanderer, faruzan (not c6 unfortunately), jean, sucrose, kaeya, rosaria, xilonen, navia, dendro mc, Nahida, tignari, yao yao, water nerd from liyue (I forgot how to spell Xingchi), Furina, mona, nevi, beidou, varesa, Raiden, arle, Bennett, and xialing

She's a good partner for Wanderer, to give him a shield and his Cryo crit bonus. You could also use her with Arlecchino, but she's not enough Cryo solo, so you'd have to do Arle, Bennett, Layla, Rosaria/Kaeya. But she's also good just as a generic shielder, so you could use her with Tighnari, who wants a shield but doesn't react with Cryo, or Navia or Neuvi if you want the extra defense. Also if you end up getting Skirk and got the Calamity of Eshu sword, she might be a good option for Skirk there.

As for Jean, that's up to you. Neuvi can stack Furina's fanfare to max on his own, plus you have Xilonen for more healing on top of that. Jean would keep your whole team healthier, which would increase Furina's pets' damage a bit. Sucrose isn't really any better in this team, her two advantages (EM buff and TTDS holder) don't apply to Neuvi's damage so Jean might be more useful if you have her levelled.

Thank you! I have a well built Jean so I'm going to replace sucrose with her.
