If she wasn't on banner before Kinich I might have tried for her just for her exploration utility, but shame she comes first, so I'll just skip for now. Hopefully he's right and she can semi consistently get 3 bites since I'm not particularly enjoying her mechanics atm, since I'm expecting some amount of clunkyness, especially on mobile. Kinich's mechanic might also be unforgiving at times, but he looks so fun to play at least
Feels like they’re pushing for the geo girl as a teammate for her instead of a VV slot for the shred, and she’ll probably want to run mauvika as well once she comes out if she’s a pyro off fielder. Definitely a character that will see a more comfortable and consistent rotation with new characters than with older ones.
VV has always been problematic. We just haven't noticed because most players play reverse amp reactions. It looks like we're going to get an easier option.
@@MRLawrence99 on xilonen and kachina, yes - 2pc is 6 flat energy when natlan characters on the team deal damage, 4pc is 12% physical and elemental dmg bonus when you trigger a reaction to all team members with elements involved in the reaction, and 40% if the holder is from natlan (works off field too)
Seeing people praise the frequency buff made me extremely worried about her Vape spots. Aside Xiangling nobody else can keep up with her playstyle. Very likely she'll be fixed by Archon but idk if that will feel good compared to others. I think I might skip her for Xilonen tbh.
Imagine a caracter that does exactly what VV does but in kitwise for the buff (the leopard blonde geo gal) and a better pyro app (mauvika? Pyro traveller???burning after the last pyro app maybe?) It's like in the future she will be better at the things that she wants to do
You just pull for who you have most fun with. You guys worry about meta toooooo much. You can still clear the game with underdeveloped characters. Stop worrying about meta and start pulling for who you like. You’ll enjoy the game more that way. I pulled for Neuvi on his release and I regretted it. He’s not all that fun but he is strong. I used my fav characters instead of him to clear abyss and they did just as good.
It depends what is fun for you. Neuvillette and arlecchino are very strong but neuvillette is just charged attacks and that's it, and arle is the same but with auto attacks. They are very boring gameplay wise, so that's that.
Burn-Vape teams will never end up more popular for the sole reason that her signature is a 30% damage increase over her F2P option, with her 2 constellations giving an additional 40%. People who will be unsatisfied with her C0R0 damage in VV Vape will just opt for getting vertical investement on Mualani herself instead of investing in Burn-Vape for a fuck all result.
Honestly I got c1, and considering they nerfed it’s dmg as well as her regular normal atks being based on atk basically instead of hp, it really messes her up. Tbh the only dmg output I’d find worth a crap is c6, which honestly all it does is fix her c1😑. That’s criminal for a limited 5*. I saw someone say that that her crit for them was like 73%/think over 250% and her dmg was still meh 😨 even at c1r1
So can someone sum up where she stands as a dps rn? Like how mualani's initial damage was supposed to be comparable or higher than c0 neuvilette. Where does she place now?
@@shonenhikada9254 Look at her team dps, shes still among the top teams lmao. Just because her dps isnt 100kdps at c0 now but around 70k doesnt mean shes bad in any sense whatsoever like be so for real do u rly want the new baseline dps to be 100k so ur old faves get lost in the dust or what
Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldnt a hydro support like kokomi or furina be better instead of bennett? Since bennett buff is useless on her and 2 hydro gives bonus hp
@@skall6501 but like it would have to be more than just kokomi, cuz all she's giving is hydro resonance. Better is still buffing Emilie's burst and xiangling. Maybe if you hyper invest into her
@@MuhaamadAreeb kokomi is still solid tho. You can make her sub-dps with clam and a buffer with that one dmg buffing healer set. Also hydro supports like yelan and xingqiu don't work on mualani so kokomi and furina are all you have. Furina cant get the max potential since there are no healers so kokomi is fine i guess
@@NikocadosPopeyesChickenSandwic I already got her, but want to know updated teams & builds. I tried playing her in imaginarium theater with a decent enough team, but there isn't enough damage
@@maadaaoh I mean you just want triple hp main stat, 4 flower of paradise loss with key or double 2 piece hp% with a hp% sword or iron sting if you lack any, use with Nahida + almost any other dendro and hydro as long as one is a healer. If you're trying to speedrun setups think Kokomi + Collei with sac bow is the best for those. Yaoyao + Xingqui, Candace, Furina, Ayato, etc all work to varying degrees as well. Hard to make a good team for her in that mode with how lacking the dendro options are this cycle and you can't force Nahida to always appear, personally I didn't bring her at all for it.
@@twigz3214 Thanks for replying in detail; i did get Key but didn't know paradist lost was a better set for her (she is on tenacity 2 pc with 3 random HP%s mainstats). I did run her with Nahida in an all hydro team, but maybe with barbara and xingqiu i didn't get enough hydro app. Also I need to build Nilou with better artifacts, and hopefully I will get good damage
@@maadaaoh It's better if you have a lot of hp subs anyway, if you get enough hp subs you can cap her passive with flowers or close to it you'd prefer to use it instead. Without enough hp subs double 2 piece hp% is better. If you already have a good double hp% 2 piece it probably isn't worth farming unless you don't have much else to farm.
That ruin has become Zajef favourite cooking spot 😂
I went to that spot and there’s no cooking pot there. Wdym??
I knew I was missing something these past few days
same, missed my daily dose of zajium
Yeah. It's been a long time, unfortunately.
not even 5 seconds into the video and I already nearly got a heartattack. 😂
first 5 seconds of the video being the most informative says something about the changes
that sound says it all.
Abe Lincoln ain't got nothing on zajeff's beard
First thing I noticed, too!! :o
Abe Lincoln aka American Zajef
PIPE
The metal pipe had me questioning if this was a Zajeff video or a Big puffer video 🤣
Mualani still seems good though so I'll still be pulling for her
If she wasn't on banner before Kinich I might have tried for her just for her exploration utility, but shame she comes first, so I'll just skip for now.

Waiting for Zajef's thoughts on the 4.8 second half banner 4 stars.
i puked as soon as I saw the banner but I'm not surprised by hoyo
It's always XL OPPA
It's most probably gonna be a vid
Bro's got a lion's mane now. Majestic.
Mualani's kit is really still under construction huh
Zajef Daily -> Zajef Weekly 😢😢
Daily btw
it seems like All tanned characters get the Smackclap treatment
if the xilonen kit leaks are real then i think i know exactly why they're making vv not work so well with her
VV has always been problematic.
We just haven't noticed because most players play reverse amp reactions.

Just realized Neuvilette will receive an insane buff with xilonen too. Imagine her with Petra buffing both Furina and Neuvi's damage
@@MRLawrence99 or like, the new set that powercreeps petra
@@lystia wait, I forgot what the new set does. Is it literally just Petra but better? Even more broken stuff if that's the case

Kind of doubtful abt the pyro archon
@@lolidemon3163xiangling mama ?
char reliant on pyro, with no slot for new set, wants more natlan for her a4, u sure? Def will like mavuika
She hits once every 3s. Frigging Xinyan can keep up.
Prayge that mavuika wont need constellations to fix any gameplay problems. (hopefully)
Every month that passes he looks more and more like a homeless vegan, and then i remember he is in his twenties yet.
Not for long!
and we love him for it

i mean isnt that what he is and he looks good so who cares

Does Zajef live in a steel pipe warehouse?
Wrong, he lives in a steel pipe.
turns out we can't talk about Mualani
Impressive beard, Zaj!! 😮
is that zajef's beard??? holy shit
You know, I just don't care about most of the new characters. I guess they have run out of space to make characters both powerful and fun.
Because powerfull is objective and fun is subjective.
You just pull for who you have most fun with. You guys worry about meta toooooo much. You can still clear the game with underdeveloped characters.

breathtaking gameplay om
Mualani with the pyro archon and Emilie does sound like an interesting team 🏄

In my head one of her easiest teams to extract a good damage ir Nahida, Thoma and Zhongli, idk how it will be, but sounds pretty solid
Idk how yall watch him stream when he just ledge jumps. Might as well just be a podcast
So can someone sum up where she stands as a dps rn?
Like how mualani's initial damage was supposed to be comparable or higher than c0 neuvilette. Where does she place now?
that beard makes me itch my face, how do people let it go that long
Beard oil, lotion, etc.
read up on how to groom your beard, there's stuff for it
Anyone know what the metal pipe sound was all about?
1 hour of silence broken by metal pipe sounds
schaufle should be in s for compiling questions for ask zajeff and also for being the only one i recognized out of the mod list smh
It's so hydrover rn
Hey Zajef, you should really consider unlucky people like me who suffer from motion sickness!
The fact that shes still good after all these massive ass nerfs lowkey says that she kinda deserved them lol
Who told you she was still good? Are they in the room with us?

yeah, she's much different from neuvillette, but if the calculations are right she will probably still be a very good dps
mods tierlist killed me
was that mulani at the start?😂
I'm so sick of Hoyo lmao
So RIP Mualani mains?
She will still be above average probably. Her team comps are really restricted tho. Pyro archon will probably solve most of her problems
@@skall6501 hope she will be bad Kinich on top
@@dawensci7134 her and kinich are completely different tho...like not even close
Does he listen to the same 5 songs on repeat?
that's based af
the playlist has a lot of different songs but spotify shuffle is a lie lol
i guess nahida/emilie/pyro flex would be her best team
waiting for mavuika then...
Let me put my copium mask on, is the doughnut decent for mualani?
Bennet xiangling Emilie mualani go brr
Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldnt a hydro support like kokomi or furina be better instead of bennett? Since bennett buff is useless on her and 2 hydro gives bonus hp
