I've just C2R1'd Chasca, and while Mavuika's potential seems kind of unrivaled in Natlan teams, Citlali's so much more appealing despite her niche... and I love playing sub dpses on-field (she has the funniest basic attacks) I'll probably go C2 first and R1 if I have anything left (I want Childe, too). Don't judge me, please.)
I'm glad you explained the constellation part. Other content creators don't really talk about it because it's heavily biased towards budget or low spending players. You earned a new sub!
She's a sidegrade for Neuvillete teams. And comparable to Zhongli in Yoimiya teams. I don't need her for meta. I DO NEED her tho. Cause Granny is Supremacy.
eventually i have get her c6r1 for my freeze team... for my c3r1 neuvillette, furina(plan to c3 her eventually), mualani c0 prototype amber and scroll set. for citlali i plan to c2r1 her and save primogems knowing it takes so long for cryo characters to rerun. i probably can save for a year to get her 4 last dupes. also going glided dream set
Does someone know if Crit Damage is better than EM? I mean if she triggers Melt, what will deal more damage? For example is it better to have 1300EM but no Crit damage or 800EM but 100% Crit damage?
Kaeya might feel more comfy since you're not playing circle impact but Rosaria does provide buffs and her aoe isn't too bad so it might be better esp for non mobile enemies
imagine u have mavuika, and codex set will give you 40% crit rate. plus cryo resonance 15% that would be 55% crit rate. rosaria also will provide crit rate buff to party. if this is your team your Mavuika should focus more on CRit dmg , em , and attack stat. so I think yuh rosaria is better
@andreespina9747 I see, thank you, I don't think I can be bothered to raise her then lol if she was way better I would, but it seems like they are kinda comparable
@@arjayg2654 still it does buff slightly even for mavuika so long as you don't over crit (which is hard Ik but theoretically possible) also correct me if I'm wrong but I think it is team wide? Also she can reduce cryo Res so citlalis damaged is also slightly buffed. Since their kaeya is C6 it is Def much easier to use him esp since he's alrdy built but theoretically you can reach higher ceilings with Rosaria
@ cryo is my favorite element, main Wriothesley but usually his melt teams leave no room for shenhe to be slotted in which is why I wanted to go for c6 Shenhe, but if Citlali is better I’ll go for that instead
Just be honest and tell us she is really bad for a 5 star and we'll regret pulling for her. She is bad at all but 2 categories even on your ranking and even in those she barely made it past the halfway rating of 3. How can you say that's a good pull? Neuvielette or Furina would probably rank 5 stars in like 3 of those categories each, now that's a good pull you can't regret. Citali feels like this jack of all trades, master of none character like Dehya, not as bad as her but same problem. Want shield and RES shred? Get Zhongli. Want buff and off field damage? Get Furina, Kazuha, or even Xilonen. Citali is inferior to all of them. She is not a good pull unless they add an EM scaling Dendro reaction for Cryo lol
Shes good in melt or freeze team, buffer and debuffer, citlali is balanced in my opinion and more for some special teams, can use scroll, pyro and hydro ress, and she is a catalyst that can use TTDS, shes works best in natlan team but kinda niche outside natlan team, im pulling for my chasca melt team btw, and i'm giving furina to team neuvilette
Bruh she buffs more than zhongli on cuz she has shield + res shred + cinder + ttds & she has off field cryo to enable melts for Arlecchino, Gaming especially Arlecchino who can't heal & need a shield, she's a better shielder for C0 Neuvillete than zhongli
@@nk30020 her buffs are only 5% better (including shreds, scroll and ttds), she has rotation clunk with TTDS, requiring her to go before main dps, which means after bennet - which resuls in -3s of bennet buff uptime on Chasca (1 less shot), Lyney (1,5 less CA's), Arlecchino (1 less NA string combo), has 9k shields with TTDS (sometimes not enough to block even 1 attack), energy problems (if TTDS).At this point just use Xilonen as shielder, cause her shields are also enough just for 1 attack, and xilonen and kazuha beat out both citlali and zhongli for neuvilette by A LOT.
Citlali adds more than most of the characters you mentioned simply because of the added flexibility. Under her niche (Hydro and Pyro carries support), her support is superior or a side grade to Kazuha/Xilonen; as a shielder, she’s good enough of a shielder (again, the interruption resistance + an average shield is enough) to make Zhongli/Layla not as needed (in fact, most people who like them tend to avoid focusing on their shield because it is too much); damage wise, she actually adds something (which, again, is something most shielders in the game simply don’t) with proper investment and plus as most recent characters she has a good vertical investment curve, which is also not the case with most defensive utility characters (like Zhongli himself, Baizhu) and older characters. She’s not a jack of all trades in a meta where there’s literally one good melt enabler (which is Rosaria, a good but definitely limited option for this role), so she has a niche to call her own. Besides, using Furina and (specially) Neuvilette is out of point since, again, what do you intend to use her for? Neuvilette is not even a support, it’s a hyper carry, so it makes no sense for him to be mentioned. Furina is indeed, awesome, and definitely is an amazing pull value (definitely better than Citlali specially in low investment), but she’s definitely weird if you intend to make a Freeze/Melt team since she will tend to 1. have low hydro app depending on the number of enemies; 2. she will steal the melts and vape; which is what people would roll Citlali for (meta speaking). Currently, at low investment teams, Citlali is BiS/side grade for Neuvi teams, BiS for Arle teams, BiS for Yoimiya teams, Gaming and Mavuika teams, plus a good side grade for Lyney, Hyperbloom, Klee and many others. So I currently have absolutely no clue how can she not be seen as a good pull.
@@thewhimsi what flexibility lol? She is useful only for pyro and hydro, she is at best a side grade for everybody, except for Mavuika and Gaming. She is definitely the worst out of support options for Neuvilette. Her shield is not "average" - it's bad. It's barely enough to stand 1 hit, in some situations not even enough (sacred beasts, bosses). She applies cryo to herself which makes her susceptible to one shots by pyro, and freezes by hydro. On top of other units already being vulnerable to vapes because of the bennet circle. The only thing she gives is enabling melts, but even then it's AT BEST equal to Vape and Overload teams. There is no rational reason to pull for her if you have bennet, xilonen, kazuha on one side, and hyperbloom or overload on the other side. As well as incredible clunk with rotations which takes away from Bennet's buff uptime, cause she has to go after him and before the main dps. - a huge dps loss and a definition of sidegrade.
I guess it's a matter of whether you want a support character or an on-fielder more. You should also think about the teams you would use them in and think about which team you like more.
Never pull for meta only, this is usually the characters you'll regret later. On the other hand, if you really like the character and their design, you won't regret it even if they got powercreep later. Just make sure you have the right characters to pair with in your box. And if you really can't decide, here's how to trick your brain : Flip a coin and choose head or tails for each character. Check your reaction when you see the result. If you are disappointed, then you wanted the other, if you are relieved, that was the one you really wanted. ;)

A cryo character?! In MY Genshin Impact?!
1st Citlali rerun in 2026.
I'm getting her before Hoyo locks her up in Meropide with all other cryos
@@ArchibaldVonSkiprhey wont abondoned her tho, she has good buff and support
Unrelated but the reason why i personally tend to go for weapons over cons is mainly cuz u can unequip them unlike cons 😭

same
See I have Ganyu and when I heard about Citlali's kit concept I was so happy... then found out it doesn't buff cryo users...
Citali is gonna be amazing for Lyney vape melt. May even be his new strongest team supassing his vape, overload and monopyro team variation

Thx for the video, would you recommend her If I have a Furina at C3? What about going for Citlali C2?
*Arle, Bennett, Citali, Nahida/Emilie*
Is that good ?
Not really? I mean burning will prevent arlecchino from melting maybe another cryo character instead of nahida/Emillie could works better..
@@Ahz-lh3gj Damn, you're right. Only Citlali will proc melt with this setup, and it's not what we want.
I'd love to see a comparison with C6 Layla.. ❤
eventually i have get her c6r1 for my freeze team... for my c3r1 neuvillette, furina(plan to c3 her eventually), mualani c0 prototype amber and scroll set.
for citlali i plan to c2r1 her and save primogems knowing it takes so long for cryo characters to rerun. i probably can save for a year to get her 4 last dupes.
also going glided dream set
What set of artifacts is better for Citlali if I have Kokomi the main damage in the team?
Citlali c1 or signature weapon?
thx for the video. In the forward melt team, Xilo C2R1 should be better than benny wrong ?
Can’t wait to try her out on both my knave and gaming
Does someone know if Crit Damage is better than EM?
I mean if she triggers Melt, what will deal more damage?
For example is it better to have 1300EM but no Crit damage or 800EM but 100% Crit damage?
Above 1000 em starts has harsh diminishing returns unlike crit damage
Spent a ton of time working out and decided I would use Rosaria in her stead so I can go all in for cons on the God of war
Can I use sacrificial fragments?
is rosaria much better than c6 kaeya for a team with arlecchino, citlali and bennett? I did not want to raise her since my kaeya is already built

Also does itzpapa create a cyro storm as long as she had nightsoul points?
Finally a character to pull for 😊
persona ost mentioned 🔥🔥🗣🗣
Quick question should I prioritize getting my c2 Shenhe to c6 or getting citlali c2 instead and leave Shenhe as is?
Punch-by-punch if you are going for frozen/melt reactions Citlali will offer more based on investment so far from the looks of it.
@ cryo is my favorite element, main Wriothesley but usually his melt teams leave no room for shenhe to be slotted in which is why I wanted to go for c6 Shenhe, but if Citlali is better I’ll go for that instead
