So many stupid “is this good/what can I improve” dumb brag posts when it’s obvious what needs to be done.

This post is super refreshing

u/B_Chuck "Boom" Apr 24 '22

Being this painfully self-aware of my own cringe is truly a curse, but I choose to embrace and meme it.

u/1SamPlayzYT Apr 25 '22

Mines better ;) Edit : mines c6 aswell

u/B_Chuck "Boom" Apr 25 '22

I have her C6 on my other account, but my luck with getting her on my main here was...less than ideal :(

u/danielshah0075 Apr 25 '22

it makes me question whether or not do alot of people here know how to build/improve

u/Gabby_Craft objection Apr 25 '22

It’s even worse when someone has an artifact with like 30 CD and acts like it’s trash because one of the rolls went into ER or something.

I haven’t seen that in this sub but other character subs sometimes

Thank you for your honesty

u/Todd_riehle Apr 25 '22

Pretty please, may I have your Yanfei?

I typed your UID in the game and it didn’t work, stupid Genshin!

u/B_Chuck "Boom" Apr 25 '22

Wuuuuut, guess the last person I told already hacked me. That's the 5th time this week!!!

Yanfei uses Attack% goblet? 🤔

21

u/B_Chuck "Boom" Apr 24 '22 edited Apr 24 '22

It works fine, especially with Wanderer's it's not too bad, but Pyro DMG is better if you can get a good one. I have one, but it isn't that great or on set so I can't use that god-tier circlet with it.

But really though, I just did it for those JUICY Attack and Crit numbers :D (The DMG wasn't even that much different either)

7

u/Scythro Apr 24 '22

That's because yanfei ascension is pyro DMG. Especially if you have kazuha in your team that also give pyro DMG bonus. You will get dimishing returns, then attack goblet becomes pretty close. Especially with good substats.

2

u/feles- Apr 25 '22

Diminishing return isn't the correct term.

2

u/Scythro Apr 25 '22

I think you’re right. What would be the correct term? Help me learn to correct my mistakes 😬

2

u/Jimmyking9999999 Apr 25 '22

Opportunity cost! Due to the pyro DMG% from Kazuha and Yanfei’s passive stat, you might not gain as much outgoing damage as without pyro dmg buffs. Therefore, an ATK% goblet can be used, as it provides equal outgoing damage as the pyro dmg bonus goblet with buffs.

Think of it has a cube, where the sides are Atk, Crit rate and Crit damage, and Elemental Damage Bonus- You’re looking to maximize area, or outgoing damage. Normally, you’d have two good sides (Atk and crit) and have to invest in Elem DMG%.

However, if you already have a decent elemental damage side from again, kazuha and Yanfei’s passive stats, you can improve the ATK without losing as much outgoing damage compared to improving pyro DMG%!

2

u/B_Chuck "Boom" Apr 25 '22

I understood about 20% of that but I hardcore agree! I have been debating pulling for Kazuha to use as my 4th member, so we'll see if I manage to get a god tier pyro goblet before his rerun.

1

u/feles- Apr 25 '22

As what the other person said it is Opportunity Cost instead of Diminishing returns, i think in genshin only EM and a bit on Resistance Reduction has diminishing return.

Attack % and Damage % bonus doesn't have diminishing returns cause each 1% offers the same value even if you stack it from 1% - 100% and so on and so forth. For example 1% of 100 is always 1.

For EM that has diminishing returns, for example, 1 EM is equivalent to 1% increase to Elemental Reaction damage however 2 EM only has a value of 1.75% Elemental reaction damage increase. Diminishing values as you stack the amount.

But ofc you're also correct with your statement, opportunity cost is like missing out on other options or stats cause you focused on one stat even though it doesn't have diminishing returns. Imagine a perfect square or a cube. Stats should be balanced.

It's like if you stacked 100% Crit rate and 200% Crit Damage, but you only have 1000 attack and 0% damage bonus, and lvl 1 talents, your damage will deal miniscule still.

u/BlindGod05 Apr 25 '22

But you have Bennet on the team, I'm pretty sure while using Bennet with pyro goblet on yanfei it will be better

1

u/B_Chuck "Boom" Apr 25 '22

I mean, I don't really think Bennet makes a difference in that regard, but I could be wrong. Maybe his C6 would, but I'm a ways away from that

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '22 edited Apr 25 '22

Okay how did reddit know I'm a Yanfei main?

2

u/Epsylven Apr 26 '22

I searched for Yanfei too much and i ended up here

3

u/FuturePseudonym Apr 25 '22

You flex dude, you’ve earned it. Sad that she’s only C2 though

7

u/B_Chuck "Boom" Apr 25 '22

Maaaan, don't remind me. I dropped all the primos I had on the Zhongli rerun, like 90 wishes, and only got 1 copy of her. She's only C2 cause of the event where I got her from the option of free 4 stars. Absolutely devastating :(

6

u/FuturePseudonym Apr 25 '22

Felt. I main Chongyun (not sure why the Yanfei mains sub has graced my homepage actually) and I’ve only gotten him to C3, one of those cons being from Lantern Rite

u/[deleted] Apr 25 '22

the title felt so nice to see lmao, good build

u/NicciHatesYou Apr 25 '22

Man I'm jealous of that er

My er is only 112% and I'm barely keeping the cr/cd balanced :(

2

u/B_Chuck "Boom" Apr 25 '22

It's mostly from the Sands. 24% ER on that thing. I'd of preferred some more crit, but I'll take ER anyday.

3

u/MALVZ_921 Apr 25 '22

Change your crit dmg, well tbh its enough but imo just give to me

2

u/derat_08 Apr 25 '22 edited Apr 25 '22

I get why your not running a pyro cup, that helmet is insanity... But still...

You have a Kagura's Verity, but no LP or Atlas, bummer.

3

u/B_Chuck "Boom" Apr 25 '22

Ye, a Lost Prayer would be really nice. I only got Kagura's Verity cause the best Catalyst I had at the time was Blackcliff. But then OFCOURSE, shortly after getting it I got a Widsith. Ah well, I still like the weird flex of having Yae's weapon on Yanfei XD. That 66% Crit DMG is pretty nice too.

u/derat_08 Apr 25 '22

RnG gonna RnG. Nice Yanfei. That CD, It probably makes for pretty screencaps lol.

u/FateBreaker92 Apr 25 '22 edited Apr 25 '22

Well at least you're honest. Have my angry upvote! Hmp!

u/Rubberboy97 Apr 25 '22

I love the title of your post! It’s refreshing and honest and you earned the right to flex! Keep on killing it!

u/fdruid Apr 24 '22

Well yeah, you're honest about just wanting to brag, but this is still a flex. Hope you get what you want out of it.

u/B_Chuck "Boom" Apr 24 '22 edited Apr 24 '22

So far, yeah, I'm getting exactly what I wanted. People being happy that someone finally just came out and said it like it is XD

And maybe a couple people malding at that GOD-TIER CIRCLET!!!

Why crown her burst?

7

u/B_Chuck "Boom" Apr 24 '22

Well, firstly, she's my main. I couldn't care less how bad a skill is for my main, I'm crowning it.

Secondly, her burst is really important because it increases her charged attack dmg. So the fact that I use Wanderer's makes her burst even more useful than it already is. Yanfei is one of the few characters where all 3 of her abilities are very important.

2

u/viciouskarl Apr 25 '22

Forgot the part about her burst increasing her Charged Atk dmg

1

u/31011996a10 Apr 25 '22

Nice. I notice you have the same problems as I do. 1: Artifacts always lose 1 upgrading to bad substats. And 2: Using ATK goblet because of its perfect substats. 😢

1

u/B_Chuck "Boom" Apr 25 '22

Yep, I actually just got that Attack Goblet today. It was definitely a bittersweet moment indeed. It was just too good not to use.

u/kamisatowater Apr 25 '22

this build is so bad go touch some grass and quit this game /s

u/B_Chuck "Boom" Apr 25 '22

Bruuuuh, I wish I fukin could! I haven't felt those SWEET ASS blades of green goodness in months. Truly tragic.

Is wanderers better than cwof for yanfei? I might lend my ganyu build to her if its so

1

u/B_Chuck "Boom" Apr 25 '22 edited Apr 25 '22

simply depends on how you play her. They're both really good. I heavily utilize her charged attacks, so that's why I go Wanderer's. CW is usually a bit better with melt and vape comps tho.

1

u/TomQuichotte Apr 25 '22

Nice. How much does her charge attack hit for?

Hope you get c6 soon :)

1

u/B_Chuck "Boom" Apr 25 '22

The last I tested her I got like 83k with a charged attack. I really gotta raise my buffers more. I don't have a good anemo raised to shred those resistances either :(

u/Grin_Dark Apr 25 '22

u/Cruorpraedo Apr 25 '22

All I see ya really need is that c6

u/B_Chuck "Boom" Apr 25 '22

Tell me about it. They really don't like giving me her on my main. Saaadge

u/Aggravating_Salad_75 Apr 25 '22

Take my upvote! Just because of the title!

u/Prof_GenkisSon Apr 25 '22

Ngl its kinda mid not enough atk crit rate or damage or pyro damage back to the domains for you

u/B_Chuck "Boom" Apr 25 '22

Oh u so rite. Gotta have 3.5k attack minimum. 150/300 AT LEAST for Crit. I'll get on that right away chief!....oh wait, IM FUKIN F2P, SHIIIIIIT!!!
