1:52 I highly reccomend looking into Robin, lately I’ve seen her + jiaoqiu preforming better than any other team at e0 and e2, a e0 Acheron with jiaoqiu + Robin is preforming better than an e2 Acheron with sparkle and pela
Mainly around clears with Gallagher using quid pro quo to energy battery Robin and have full ult uptime for additional turns and damage, because of this it ends up putting Robin above sparkle by a very notable amount rip sparkle
@@TerraTheWiseIt does have an impact on the cycles lol, from what I've seen there are 2/3 cycle difference between these 2 teams so yeah Sparkle still has a lot of value, just not nearly as much as with Robin
Since this calculation is purely for Acheron's ultimate damage, these numbers make sense. However in practice you will find out that Jiaoqiu + Robin has the best performance for both E0 and E2 Acheron, there is so much of Robin's kit that is not factored in these calculations.
@@einszs Yeah she does, she will take 2 turns on the first cycle as would a usual 134 speed Acheron take (one normal turn and one extra with Robin's ult), while wearing the ATK boots
@@einszs Yeah elemental orb works the best but you should use take into consideration the substats. If your ATK orb is a lot better with crit chance/dmg than your elemental orb then go for it.
Great vid. Have you considered making comparisons between feixiao and dr. Ratio? I feel like I've been able to clear all content with e0s0 dr ratio with the premium fua team. How do you think s0 feixiao matches up with s1 dr ratio?
Incredible - it is time to get my Bronya's speed over 161 and slap her in my Acheron's team along with Jiaoqiu while my Sparkle joins my Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae's team since he needs her badly. GG!
Yo! Just want to ask your opinion on Bronya+Robin+QPQ Gallagher tech. There are so many funny things like Feixiao E0S1 that comes very close to premium FUA (KW5qoDM-P60) and E0S1 Acheron with sustain 0 cycle with 0 nilihity (M3fAXm34K_w). Looks pretty busted, i think ppl slept on it hard, or didn't even know that it is a competitive thing.
@@iSUMMONYT well, i hope you do before another guide vid. It's kinda a big deal rn for some metaslaves like me, therefore so many comments about Robin lately xD
People keep forgetting that Robin gives Acheron a ton of stacks via advancing everyone. It's not only Acheron that can build stacks from action advance. Robin is broken. Ruan Mei and Sparkle fanclubs should put down their pom poms already
@@BailuGaming🤡 Ever heard of Robin Hypercarry? No harmony can come close to Robin's buffs. RM is only meant for break team, and Sparkle's value continue to deteriorate
We can't run Jiaoqui with the Resolution Lightcone because of the EHR requirements, so his final damage amp will be only 10-15% difference from Pela....
@@Gration_ For E0 Acheron he will be perfect with Incessant one because he will be running with pela but for E2 Acheron his signature is a must or Sampo's lightcone, so I am skipping him...
"he's only 10% better than Pela" Ahhh, yes, i remember when people were doomposting Black Swan saying that "She's only 16% better than Sampo". Look where she's standing right now. History repeats itself ig. Let's wait for a few patches for you to realize how important QoL units like Jiaoqiu are.
@@abbyy6361 I already use E2S1 Acheron with E1S1 sparkle and E6 Pela and E0 Aven(with Trend Lightcone), so I really don't need him, my damage is comparable to Jiaoqui....
I'll add that a friend of mine did some calculations between Sparkle and Bronya recently, using my Acheron for reference, and he too came to the conclusion that Bronya grants superior results. As for skill points, I use a 180 speed Bronya on my Acheron team, so SPs are not an issue in the slightest. As for Robin, I have been using Robin on the Acheron team as well, and she's incredibly effective. I do have E2S1 Acheron (I am F2P, I just saved a lot :) ), so I can, and do, use double harmony. I will pull JQ despite, for some reason, people seemingly underestimate his massive vulnerability debuff that is AoE and has a permanent up-time, which is unique for Nihility units, as well as Nihility units granting more benefits when it comes to damage for Acheron than Harmony units due to the simple fact that Acheron herself already has high ATK, high CD, high damage bonus, and some RES PEN, although that's obviously not all that they do. Still, I see the additional stacks JQ provides as just a bonus in my personal view. Lastly, the comparison to Guinaifen in Acheron teams is beyond ridiculous, and I'm not sure why the community even brought it up, for one simple reason: She cannot stack her passive.
@@kaka09876543210 Except Guinaifen does not help Acheron in doing more damage, whatsoever. Her Firekiss stacks only go up whenever burn damage happens, meaning she can only add Firekiss stacks in her own turn whenever the ults. This is beyond bad in Acheron teams, since she won't be able to have any impact when it comes to improving Acheron's damage. In DoT teams, this is not an issue because of Kafka. They may share the same template, but they're not comparable in every situation, and this is one of them :)
@christian751 At the moment, I use RM to help with the last few points of speed. Or DDD to make up for it, if needed. I plan to get the new 2pc set to get the last few points of speed needed. Without it, she has 171 speed.
Considering Robin is BIS for a big Majority of our Roster, where can I go to Clone Robin for 2 teams,... Hey Guys! I see a second Robin, *Proceeds to figure out it's actually Sparkle.*
I agree with you about robin x sparkle. I mean, yeah robin can do 1 cycle faster, but i prefer fuxuan+sparkle for the comfy sp usage and nice 12% c.chance from fux. And one more thing, to make robin work, she need gallagher with qpq, and firefly needs him more.
On my account at 170 speed robin doesn’t really need qpq since she can go twice before Acheron can attack once during robins downtime, so Acheron basically always has her buff. And at 3900 atk she’s still giving over 1000 atk boost.
@@coldbacon4869 Great idea. I have E3/S1 Acheron with 38k attack (running spd boots), 139 speed, 64/230 crit ratio and E6 Gallagher with 170 speed so I will equip relics for my E1/S1 Robin to have 170+ speed as well. Thanks.

I hope someone could answer this. I luckily just got 2 copies of Sparkle and a guarantee for both LC and Character Banners today. Which is better to get between E0S0 Jiaoqiu, E2 Sparkle, or Sparkle LC? I only have enough funds for 1 of the 3. I’m looking to upgrade my E2S1 Acheron team which has E0S1 Silverwolf, E1S1 Bronya, and E0S1 Aventurine. (I also have E0S1 Robin and E0S0 Ruan Mei if that plays into your suggestion) Thanks in advance to whoever will answer my query.
If i had to choose between Sparkle and JQ, JQ is the choice right? I feel like getting more ults is going to be better than getting a few percent more damage that I'd get from upgrading Bronya with Sparkle.
I'm at E3 as well but I still don't have her damn Light cone so I don't use her as much but, as soon as I am able to get it she will be used with my sustainless Acheron and Firefly teams.
I mean yeah all this numbers are cool and stuff. But I spent too much time maximizing my “specialized” acheron team already which is Acheron S1 + Bronya E2++S1 + Eagle Pela + trend FX E2 bronya makes acheron do twice her moves without speed boots, and eagle Pela gives bronya her SP Basically any little tweak means I have to change the whole team 😭
@@ApaYaa2nd Then don't. If you think your team already clears content easily then there's no need to go for him. That said, I believe the changes here are easy, just give Pela's artifacts to him, give him an EHR lightcone, and swap the trend's lightcone on FX for another she can find use. Up to you to decide if this is worth it. The only differences is that your Acheron will do a teensy bit more damage because of the vulnerability, but at the cost of losing def reduction, and your stack generation will be a little bit more constant, since Jiaoqiu's talent is less rng reliant compared to trends.
If youre going to use Bronya she must be E1S1 (Or have RM LC) and you must use SP positive sustain like Gallagher or Aventurine and nihility like Pela or play Jiaoqiu and basic spam pretty much. Its doiable but you have micro manage your SP
Is Jiaoqiu tailor made for Acheron? I mean is there anyone else who he will play with? Not really comfortable for me to pick a character who can be played only in one team
@@kaka09876543210He performs worse than Ruan Mei and Robin in DOT comps. Pulling him to use as a backup DOT character is just a copium reason. His only job is being an Archeron support, that's all.
hearing that bronya works better than sparkle is very reassuring. my current team is acheron, sw, bronya, and usually aventurine (bronya works better than pela for me because my acheron is VERY slow), and i was debating whether to replace bronya with sparkle or sw with jiaoqiu. it seems i have my answer!
The only two teams I have is Premium FUA team and FF team, I want to get both Feixiao and Lingsha (she will be my second limited sustain). I’m debating on whether I should get Acheron or skip her and wait for the next broken dps? Because the only Nihility I have is unbuilt Pela so should I also pull Jiaoqiu? Idk if I should skip her or not, I have 110 Pulls and 50 Pity no guarantee. Started playing during aventurine banner.
Acheron still good even with unbuilt nihility support or even no nihility. Just don't expect a busted damage. My consideration for pulling is do you like her gameplay or her character? If you pull for meta, her team are flexibles. You can just slap her with leftover team.
@@kaka09876543210 Sorry just one last concern. it’s a lil bit of everything, but being a low spendor with two decently built teams already who also wants to pull both new 2.5 characters, and the other upcoming characters it’s tough. Especially when Jiaoqiu is around the corner who would fit perfectly alongside Pela and her, unless you suggest I get her first and skip Jiaoqiu or pray to the RNG gods I win Jiaoqiu, Feixiao, and Lingsha 50/50’s without reaching hard pity (coping) 😂
I'm probably going to run Sparkle/Robin situationally based on need of the other node. FF on the other node? Robin. Fei on the other node? Sparkle. Harmony in this game is so versatile that all big fours feel like "must have" or at least gives you lot of flexibility in team building.
Everyone was all Sparkle + E2 Acheron I forgot Robin. I have Robin but Sparkle skipped me. Since I only have E0S1 Acheron I’m getting Jiaoqiu. And maybe E2 her when she reruns. But then I might get FeiXiao. I don’t know anymore lol
@@The_CodFish69ha I actually I do! But I don’t have her wearing S1, she is wearing S5 DanceDanceDance instead. I do have her LC but never levelled it cause I lost 75/25 on Jade’s LC.
@@The_CodFish69 ooo ok thanks for that bit! Will level up that LC and give it a try. Er… after Jiaoqiu and if I decide to get FeiXiao end up with FeiXiao and not another Yanqing.
@@The_CodFish69 thanks!! Same to you! I am still undecided on those 2… but Lingsha looks amazing. I am waiting for V3 as well, kits aside I’m worried I might like what’s coming in 2.6-2.7 more… I need time to build all these Penacony character I got I am still building my Black Swan💀
Is this all considering Jiaoqui at a single copy without his signature lightcone? I'm just curious if he's really that cracked at E0S0 and worth pulling a single copy to replace my built E6S5 resolution Pela, or is he gonna need more investment to be worth it? I'm really wanting to get both new characters from 2.5 with possible eidolons and their lightcones, so if the damage increase on my E2S1 Acheron team is going to be negligible, I feel like I may still have to skip him to save funds for Fox Mommy and Bunny Senpai. I already know I'm gonna have to pick up extra shifts just to afford them and I just won 4 50/50s in a row for E1S1 Yunli and E0 Huohuo so my luck is gonna be absolute garbage on the next few banners.
Robin is the best in slot support for basically every crit dps in the game, and this includes Acheron. While she's not giving extra turns to acheron specifically in comparison to sparkle, she's giving extra turns to the rest of the team, who can apply debuffs and get acheron more ults. On top of that her personal damage is actually super relevant for finishing off enemies that survive acheron ult without having to waste a 2nd Acheron ult. Damage calcs/sheets don't really do her justice because they don't include personal damage + how she frontloads all your damage with ult action advance (reduces either your cycles used or AV used depending on the mode) As for Sparkle/Bronya, as long as Bronya is e1s1 there's not really any skill point issues, and she provides MORE turns to acheron than sparkle while also providing higher snapshot buffs. Sparkle doesn't start becoming better than bronya until you pull her eidolons, which aren't worth it because robin > sparkle. For anyone still thinking "oh i'll just pull sparkle and e2 acheron to skip jq", e2 acheron + pela + sparkle is just straight up worse than e0 acheron + jq + robin, while costing more pulls. If you want to pull eidolons to improve your team then look at getting e1 robin honestly.
I mean sure, the dmg is higher, but what about practicality? Robin isnt exactly sp positive since she cripples herself for 3 turns during her ult, not to mention her steep energy cost. And assuming JQ needs to skill either every turn or once every turn, at best, hes sp neutral, if you want to keep his ult up all the time. Acheron would prefer to skill everytime so shes sp negative for the most part. All the sp generation falls onto the sustain then, but is 1 unit really enough to keep the sp economy of the entire team in the green?
@@catontopofhooman5226 Gallagher with QPQ is enough to battery the entire team and provide enough SP assuming Sp neutral Jiao which is what you should be doing since he only has 100 energy cost. In fact Jia+Robin+GallagherQPQ is the only e0 Acheron comp that can 1 cycle the Hoolay boss which mind you has 2.7mil hp.
I had always assumed you ran ATK boots on Acheron no matter what team you ran with her. Are you meant to run Speed boots if you aren’t running an action advance Harmony?? For example for E0S0 Acheron with Pela JQ Fuxuan?
As the issue with support, Robin would be better at most situation.. But I just like Sparkle better for my e2 Acheron 😂 Since she is sp positive and can get sp cashback on her Ulti.. With JQ around spamming skills without any issue.. Maybe I could even slot in Sparkle & Bronya if I'm going to 0 cycle for Acheron..
Surprised you didn't compare using e0s1 acheron (I guess that would make the video too long?) seeing how the three most common acheron questions are e0s0, e0s1 and e2s1 I'm waiting on feixiao's v3 beta to decide if I should go for her e2s1 or get jq's e0s1 (my acheron's e0s1), because right now I don't think she kills mobs/summons fast enough to match acheron's aoe clearing ability
Nice video, though I do have to mention a few points. 1. The damage of an Acheron team depends on A) the buffs Acheron possesses when she uses her skill or ultimate and B) how often her skill and ultimate are used per cycle. You calculated category A) pretty will but kinda totally ignored B). The buffs and the dmg multiplier derived from the buffs are just half of the picture. 2. Single Target damage is king in MoC and AS. When using a well-built Acheron team, the low-HP enemies are of no concern because they will die anyway, debuffed or not. Your clear time depends on how fast you kill that one beefy boss. Even when you have two bosses, usually one of them has a lot more HP than the other. This issue should have been mentioned to clarify how important single target damage actually is. 3. The video shows damage values for 3-Enemies and 5-Enemies. Mathematically, these are accurate but practically they are meaningless because low-HP enemies die long before that value is actually reached. So, most of that damage is actually just overkill damage. Kind of ties into point 2 above. Even in PF the team's performance isn't dependent on high AoE damage values, but instead, on how fast you can repeatedly invoke AoE attacks to clear the current wave. Which is why FuA AoE units do so well there. 4. Since you did not talk about stack generation, Trend LC wasn't a topic. Is this coming in a later video? I did a few tests in the new AC (second half of stage 12) with my Fu Xuan with Trend LC and she provided stacks roughly equivalent to JQ (2/turn). Sometimes more, sometimes less. This means that having Silver Wolf with Trend LC in your team provides a performance that is similar to what JQ will provide. Side grade, so to say. Could have been worth a mention.
Cope. Moc 2 to 5 enemies . Mobs hp pool has increased. Apocalyptic shadows has one or two boss with three or 5 side thingies. Pf always 5 . Silver wolf st buff is 60 percent. Jioaqiu single target buff is 50 percent. Silver wolf aoe is 27 . But jiaoqiu aoe is 50 percent . That's not even considered 6 acheron stacks he can provide per ultimate. His skill and basic also provides stacks. Making the damage buff double is some cases as acheron can ult many times. He is an upgrade not a sidegrade
@@nono-lq5uy Please explain your numbers. SW provides debuffs with 54% defence shred and 30% resistance shred. JQ provides debuffs with 35% vulnerability and 15% ultimate damage multiplier. If you sum it all up you will see that when considering single target damage SW provides vastly better debuffs. This leads to why she is the best in MoC and AS. In these modes, the 'side thingies' as you call them don't matter because the main boss has vastly more HP (increased HP doesn't matter). Those side thingies don't need to be debuffed because they will die anyway from Acheron's AoE or will be auto-killed when the boss dies. Which means your clear time is mainly dependent on how long you need to kill the boss. The next time you do MoC and AS do take note of the side thingies and you will see what I mean. So, the question is why do people still prefer Pela over SW then? Well, because she is free! Oh, and because of PF I guess.
@@nono-lq5uy Oh and regarding the 6 stacks JQ provides. Yes, this is correct and puts him ahead of the other debuffers... but Trend LC exists and this light cone also provides 6 stacks in roughly the same time as JQ. Meaning, SW + Trend LC has a similar performance to JQ with his all-in-one package. Hence, a sidegrade. The question though is who uses SW + Trend LC? Apparently not many. If you aren't using this combination then JQ is definitely an upgrade.
@@fullvoid6663 first of all for acheron sw pela galaghar . Sw have 25 percent chance to get lighting implant . Giving 20 res pen . 10 res pen is permanent tho. Right. 50 percent def shred is 35.48% dmg increase . But right now we will do 36%. If u have bad rng sw can boost dmg to 46%. If u had good rng it can go to 66%. Avg will be 56% and that's me being generous in actuality 30% res pen is only be triggered 25%. Meaning 51% dmg increase. A point in favour to sw if enemy has very high resistance. The buff she provides can go to 70% Jiaoqiu single target is 50% dmg increase.. only 1 to 6 percent behind sw. And that's beside the stacks he Provide. Trend is very rng. There will be times your preservation unit is never targeted if enemy is 1 target the chances of acheron getting 1 stack will be 25%. So hence, like u said he is an upgrade. In theory and will be in practical too
@@nono-lq5uy When you use SW you use a pure Quantum team with the exception of Acheron: Acheron, SW, Sparkle, Fu Xuan. This increases the chance to hit lightning weakness to where it is feasible. As for the Trend LC: Yes, RNG, but it is a lot better than you think. On AVERAGE it is similar to JQ's 6/ultimate. Trend LC will provide more stacks in some scenarios, less in others. People who say Trend LC is no good have never actually used Trend LC. I have used it and it is great thanks to enemy AoE in particular. Considering all this, the performance of SW+Trend LC is simply similar to that of JQ (I don't care about +/- 10%). And that is all I am saying. Those of us who have been doing MoC/AS in 1-2 cycles without JQ will still be doing MoC/AS in 1-2 cycles even with JQ.
@@kaka09876543210 Buddy Pela and SW are literally only meta in the Archeron team and any other team comp is going to benefit more from Harmony characters. That's a pretty dumb reason to pull Midqiu
same problem here. So in the table the "upgrade" from Pela to Jiaoqiu is 25% damage increase for her ultimate (if you have S5 resolution lightcone, otherwise maybe 20%), plus her ultimate will be used faster (here people say different things on how much faster). So the main problem here is that the calculations do not simulate a real fight with skillpoints, seeing if people survive, how much more damage does it result in, if ultimate is up 25% faster etc. So we have to wait for him to be released for a clearer picture, I guess and if he's worth pulling is highly dependent on what you use your pulls on otherwise. Jiaoqiu is probably around the same damage increase as pulling Acherons lightcone, but you can use him in more situations.
@@Mijoulin thanks bro , i didn't understand more , but i did understand that it's better to wait anyways, and he is worth it , also i might save to get either acheron e2 , or aventurine
Since myfirefly takes up my break team, i put boothill and acheron together in what i call "overkill" since boothill can dish out a lot of debuffs with his e, breaking enemy counts as a debuff cuz of the DOT, and his ult applies debuff too, giving acheron a bunch of stacks Defenitely gonna pull for lingsha so i can give her to firefly and the "overkill" team can have gallagher for even more stacks
while Robin ok in Acheron team. her dmg buff is so so compared to Acheron dmg. She better be in follow up team, who can move faster and have a lot of off-turn attack. while Sparkle/Bronya is better for Acheron with lc. If u still can't stack faster, use tank with Market LC. each enemy atk count as 1 stack
Could you make calculations on dotchron? I have been doing better with kafka and bs on the team than pela/sw. Or even kafka team dot vs archron teams. Since ruan mei is now only on firefly teams.
I know this channel also valuing calcs and math, but damn i always feels happy whenever TC calcs and their worshipper prediction is get wreck in the application 😂
For an E2 Acheron team, how would Robin’s build be? Like how much SPD do i need on her? I wont be able to get Jiaoqiu as well, so the team would be E2S1 Acheron, E0S0 Robin, E6 Pela, E0S0 Gepard (hopefully i can get Aventurine tho) Note: When i say E0S0, i might get their S1 as well based on how much pulls i have left. For other harmonies, i do have E1S0 Bronya. I currently have 160 pulls and 5101 stellar jades
The more I watch about Acheron the more I think that Acheron is a must pull and Feixiao will not powercreep her -_- I like Feixiao design much more than Acheron's
Pull waifu you want to make it not regretful. Unless you like Acheron or her gameplay I not recomend you to pull for her. Pela and Dr ratio is high tier but I refuse to use them because I not simps fo them and I don't want to use them
@@kaka09876543210 I mean I don't hate Acheron, but if she wasn't Apex level I wouldn't even pull for her. Will be waiting for Feixiao patch and more reviews on her release kit, but my experience tells me that Hunt is worse suited for endgame content. I think there might be some shenanigans with her speed, but still even 2-3 turns per cycle seems not enough to match mass 5 enemies attacks.
Thanks for the calcs! Glad to see Pela remains the most versatile among the other options. I got Acheron in part to free up harmony characters but have been struggling with only Pela, so I'm glad Jiaoqiu will make it easier for me. Acheron will stop asking for my Robin finally. But what you said about Sparkle/Robin at E0 definitely shows the limits of pure math huh, that's interesting. On a single ult, Sparkle will probably give Acheron a bigger number. However, using Robin (everyone E0S0 since that's what I have) shaves so many cycles off a run compared to Sparkle in my experience (and my Sparkle isn't bad, 161speed on eagle). The value lies in the fact that Acheron will also just get more stacks since the rest of the team gets pushed up too. That may differ at E2 since Acheron does generate more stacks by herself, so here Sparkle could indeed be better. Can't test it out myself though (however the showcases I've seen indicate that Robin is still better to 0 cycle with a normal relics investment). Could depend on the enemy too. Bronya could be tricky to use but it seems worth it, that's interesting.
So, I prefarmed everything for Jiaoqiu, good pieces, materials, bosss, etc , but I love Feixiao, I was convinced that I was going to go straight to Feixiao E2 S1 and skip Jiaoqiu after this video, you really sold me Jiaoqiu, I have Acheron E2S1, Sparkle S1, I use that team with Pela E6 and Fu Xuan E1 as sustain, I have 290 tickets, should I pull for Jiaoqiu E0S1 and hope I’m lucky enough to get Feixiao E2 S1? haha
As a new player, who is waiting for Acheron rerun - should I just grab jiaoqiu and pela, or should I grab Sparkle also? Kinda struggling with Sparkle value for me - If I plan to run E0S1 Acheron + Jiaoqiu + Pela, adding Sparkle instead of Pela wont provide me with a big boost - and since I'm not planning to pull imbibitor or ratio, sparkle value is questionable for my account? Or am i wrong, and in some cases Sparkle could be a big upgrade vs Pela at E0S1 Acheron?
If you plan on keeping Acheron on E0, then Jiaoqiu is a very good pull paired with Pela. They make Acheron perform as efficiently as if she was E2 and had Sparkle as her teammate. Think of Jiaoqiu as the cheapest and biggest improvement if your Acheron has no eidolons
Out of topic but should I get jiaoqiu? I don't have acheron but have a Dot team, I also have Jing Yuan to get sparkle but I heard sparkle ain't that good anymore.. or should I save for robin and get jiao?
Robin works just fine, though she can be tricky to use due to her costly ult. But there's also the option of Bronya, which can do what Sparkle does just fine, leaving aside possible problems with SP management
@@kakashi5435 Shouldn't be that much different than if Acheron was E0, just that Acheron will get one extra stack when it's her turn. At this point you are better of swapping Pela with a harmony
With Jiaoqiu, it is currently, specially if you'd rather invest horizontally across your account. If you TRULY love Acheron a lot, then hyper investing in her like that can be acceptable, but it's not needed to clear content and it never was
Once again a stellar video from yourself putting everything into perspective! Thanks so much for taking the time to compare! Based on what you've said I do have a couple of questions. If as the numbers say Robin is moderately better for E2S1 and you DON'T have robin, if you own sparkle, is she worth pulling for E1? Or is it better to save for robin and having her as a more universal support across all teams (I was looking at building a FuA team next)? Thanks for any advice you can give :)
I have E1S1 Acheron.. do you think Jiaoqiu will be more of an upgrade than getting E2 and Bronya.? See I'm about to get the 300 spins guaranteed on the standard banner.. so im planning to skip Jiaoqiu and get E2 Acheron and then Bronya.. but will Jiaoqiu be better than E2 and just run Jiaoqiu and Bronya with Jiaoqiu being solo Nihility.?
I'm still unsure how much of an improvement Jiao would be for my e2s1 Acheron compared to Pela + E0S0 Sparkle + Sustain, like is it really worth it enough to pull for him over like, Sparkle eidolons?
lol what?? U probably the only person that runs him with her 👀.. i never even heard of that.. but since welt sustain is a thing now.. I guess I understand why u mention him
No one talks about it because it doesn't work. The only times "Welt sustain" is used are in 0 cycle or 1 cycle clears - which don't even need a sustain most of the time. "Sustain" Welt is simply a fraud. Might as well play "Ruan Mei sustain" if you want to go that far.
Still love my DoTcheron team...wonder how that team stacks up against JQ/Pela. Also hard to decide if its worth the gems to get JQ when I've got Pela/BS. I know he's better, just tough decisions.
Robin still haunts me. Frick you hoyoverse for making me pick between Topaz and Robin

Great vid.
Have you considered making comparisons between feixiao and dr. Ratio? I feel like I've been able to clear all content with e0s0 dr ratio with the premium fua team. How do you think s0 feixiao matches up with s1 dr ratio?
Yes I can make that video closer to her final kit release! We have a few betas to cover first
@@iSUMMONYT great to hear! Keep up the great work man
Incredible - it is time to get my Bronya's speed over 161 and slap her in my Acheron's team along with Jiaoqiu while my Sparkle joins my Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae's team since he needs her badly. GG!
Yo! Just want to ask your opinion on Bronya+Robin+QPQ Gallagher tech. There are so many funny things like Feixiao E0S1 that comes very close to premium FUA (KW5qoDM-P60) and E0S1 Acheron with sustain 0 cycle with 0 nilihity (M3fAXm34K_w). Looks pretty busted, i think ppl slept on it hard, or didn't even know that it is a competitive thing.
I have not even looked at these so I cant really say . But i will take a look and see.
@@iSUMMONYT well, i hope you do before another guide vid. It's kinda a big deal rn for some metaslaves like me, therefore so many comments about Robin lately xD
Omg yh its sooo broken its not even funny. I use it with seele and I've consistently 0 cycled with her since robin
Bronya and robin is from what I can see is a 0 cycle team comps. Even I see MoC arlan 0 cycle.
People keep forgetting that Robin gives Acheron a ton of stacks via advancing everyone. It's not only Acheron that can build stacks from action advance. Robin is broken. Ruan Mei and Sparkle fanclubs should put down their pom poms already
And another thing is Jq gets his ult faster allowing him to refresh his limit which makes her even more broken
Do you know how to count?
RM has 50% WBE buff. EZ win
@@BailuGaming That’s the dumbest argument I’ve ever heard
@@BailuGaming🤡 Ever heard of Robin Hypercarry? No harmony can come close to Robin's buffs. RM is only meant for break team, and Sparkle's value continue to deteriorate
....I should build my E1 S1 Bronya for my E2 Acheron
If you dont have Sparkle or Robin probably yes
Testing robin in game with acheron after seeing the correct techs to use has changed everything.
Could you provide a link to one of the sources for the proper rotation? If not, thanks anyway.

My black swan is e1 s1
Is it better pairing her with jq for Acheron E0 S0 over pela and sw?
Exactly what I thought, thanks for proving it with the numbers
No problem 👍
Very nice informative video!Exactly thats what i need thank you very much!I think i pull him for the second nihility spot with E0 Acheron.
We can't run Jiaoqui with the Resolution Lightcone because of the EHR requirements, so his final damage amp will be only 10-15% difference from Pela....
His Sig and incessant would give more damage amp than Resolution anyway, and they both have EHR.
@@Gration_ For E0 Acheron he will be perfect with Incessant one because he will be running with pela but for E2 Acheron his signature is a must or Sampo's lightcone, so I am skipping him...
@@Gration_ Next patch is stuffed so I can't pull for him anyway...
"he's only 10% better than Pela"
Ahhh, yes, i remember when people were doomposting Black Swan saying that "She's only 16% better than Sampo". Look where she's standing right now. History repeats itself ig. Let's wait for a few patches for you to realize how important QoL units like Jiaoqiu are.
@@abbyy6361 I already use E2S1 Acheron with E1S1 sparkle and E6 Pela and E0 Aven(with Trend Lightcone), so I really don't need him, my damage is comparable to Jiaoqui....
I'll add that a friend of mine did some calculations between Sparkle and Bronya recently, using my Acheron for reference, and he too came to the conclusion that Bronya grants superior results. As for skill points, I use a 180 speed Bronya on my Acheron team, so SPs are not an issue in the slightest. As for Robin, I have been using Robin on the Acheron team as well, and she's incredibly effective. I do have E2S1 Acheron (I am F2P, I just saved a lot :) ), so I can, and do, use double harmony. I will pull JQ despite, for some reason, people seemingly underestimate his massive vulnerability debuff that is AoE and has a permanent up-time, which is unique for Nihility units, as well as Nihility units granting more benefits when it comes to damage for Acheron than Harmony units due to the simple fact that Acheron herself already has high ATK, high CD, high damage bonus, and some RES PEN, although that's obviously not all that they do. Still, I see the additional stacks JQ provides as just a bonus in my personal view. Lastly, the comparison to Guinaifen in Acheron teams is beyond ridiculous, and I'm not sure why the community even brought it up, for one simple reason: She cannot stack her passive.
Little Gui is fire nihility and JQ is fire nihility. Clearly JQ is five star alternatives to guinafen.
@@kaka09876543210 Except Guinaifen does not help Acheron in doing more damage, whatsoever. Her Firekiss stacks only go up whenever burn damage happens, meaning she can only add Firekiss stacks in her own turn whenever the ults. This is beyond bad in Acheron teams, since she won't be able to have any impact when it comes to improving Acheron's damage. In DoT teams, this is not an issue because of Kafka. They may share the same template, but they're not comparable in every situation, and this is one of them :)
How on god's green earth do you get a 180 spd bronya
@kaka09876543210 Guinaifen is simply not usable in Acheron teams because she can't provide any amplification.
@christian751 At the moment, I use RM to help with the last few points of speed. Or DDD to make up for it, if needed. I plan to get the new 2pc set to get the last few points of speed needed. Without it, she has 171 speed.
Considering Robin is BIS for a big Majority of our Roster, where can I go to Clone Robin for 2 teams,...
Hey Guys! I see a second Robin, *Proceeds to figure out it's actually Sparkle.*
What about Boundless Choreo
As compared to GNSW, isn't it
80CV vs 72%Dmg bonus
Nice video. You cooked.
Thank you! Are you going for Jiaoqiu?
I'm unrelatable to this, yet I will say good work on giving a lot of details to a variety of players.
I am pulling for him, been saving…
I agree with you about robin x sparkle. I mean, yeah robin can do 1 cycle faster, but i prefer fuxuan+sparkle for the comfy sp usage and nice 12% c.chance from fux.
And one more thing, to make robin work, she need gallagher with qpq, and firefly needs him more.
On my account at 170 speed robin doesn’t really need qpq since she can go twice before Acheron can attack once during robins downtime, so Acheron basically always has her buff. And at 3900 atk she’s still giving over 1000 atk boost.
@@coldbacon4869 Great idea. I have E3/S1 Acheron with 38k attack (running spd boots), 139 speed, 64/230 crit ratio and E6 Gallagher with 170 speed so I will equip relics for my E1/S1 Robin to have 170+ speed as well. Thanks.

I hope someone could answer this. I luckily just got 2 copies of Sparkle and a guarantee for both LC and Character Banners today. Which is better to get between E0S0 Jiaoqiu, E2 Sparkle, or Sparkle LC? I only have enough funds for 1 of the 3.
I’m looking to upgrade my E2S1 Acheron team which has E0S1 Silverwolf, E1S1 Bronya, and E0S1 Aventurine. (I also have E0S1 Robin and E0S0 Ruan Mei if that plays into your suggestion)
Thanks in advance to whoever will answer my query.
Get JQ 100%
If i had to choose between Sparkle and JQ, JQ is the choice right? I feel like getting more ults is going to be better than getting a few percent more damage that I'd get from upgrading Bronya with Sparkle.
Oh, I asked that before you scrolled down and showed that final table...
I will go with sparkle
I dont like that much robin
ive been running acheron with e3s1 bronya since day one. have e2s1 sparkle too, but having speedtuned bronya with acheron is so perfect
I'm at E3 as well but I still don't have her damn Light cone so I don't use her as much but, as soon as I am able to get it she will be used with my sustainless Acheron and Firefly teams.
can u pls share us your speedtune?
how do you speedtune ur acheron with bronya or sparkle?
Won’t look different for me, I don’t pull male 5 stars.
I mean yeah all this numbers are cool and stuff. But I spent too much time maximizing my “specialized” acheron team already which is
Acheron S1 + Bronya E2++S1 + Eagle Pela + trend FX
E2 bronya makes acheron do twice her moves without speed boots, and eagle Pela gives bronya her SP
Basically any little tweak means I have to change the whole team 😭
@@ApaYaa2nd Then don't. If you think your team already clears content easily then there's no need to go for him.
That said, I believe the changes here are easy, just give Pela's artifacts to him, give him an EHR lightcone, and swap the trend's lightcone on FX for another she can find use.
Up to you to decide if this is worth it. The only differences is that your Acheron will do a teensy bit more damage because of the vulnerability, but at the cost of losing def reduction, and your stack generation will be a little bit more constant, since Jiaoqiu's talent is less rng reliant compared to trends.
but for E0, is jiaoqiu+sparkle or jiaoqiu+pela better, given I lose the Action advance and ATK boots with pela
I think JQ makes the Sparkle comp better. But you can try Atk boots Jq+Pela because Acheron gets enough stacks from JQ and Pela even with Atk boots.
Amazing video! Joined the discord!
I gotta ask, is E2 Acheron better than JQ?
Thank you for joining! Yes, if your only concerned about Acheron then her E2 is better. Overall Jiaoqiu is more valuable to an account than E2 Acheron
@@iSUMMONYTI have E2S1 Acheron and Robin, do I need to pull for JQ? more Acheron eidolons?
On E2 JQ still good, more Stack and more damage
I know you mentioned that Bronya wasn't as good for the skill points but she is E3S1 for me, so would Bronya be fine to use?
If youre going to use Bronya she must be E1S1 (Or have RM LC) and you must use SP positive sustain like Gallagher or Aventurine and nihility like Pela or play Jiaoqiu and basic spam pretty much. Its doiable but you have micro manage your SP
Is Jiaoqiu tailor made for Acheron? I mean is there anyone else who he will play with? Not really comfortable for me to pick a character who can be played only in one team
He also good for DoT.
@@kaka09876543210He performs worse than Ruan Mei and Robin in DOT comps. Pulling him to use as a backup DOT character is just a copium reason. His only job is being an Archeron support, that's all.
hearing that bronya works better than sparkle is very reassuring. my current team is acheron, sw, bronya, and usually aventurine (bronya works better than pela for me because my acheron is VERY slow), and i was debating whether to replace bronya with sparkle or sw with jiaoqiu. it seems i have my answer!
Just be careful about your SP and make sure to speed tune the team properly
10 more days until fox husband comes home…
how good is e0 jiaqiou and his e1. Maybe his lightcone too for e2 acheron damage increase
His lc > e1 for Acheron dmg
Cant you just put pela and jia in one team with Acheron or am i missing something o.O?
At E0 yeah its her best setup
something with your mic this video, really hard to listen to it.
Im not in my usual setup, I apologize I will try to make it better!
Acheron rerun is highly anticipated for eidolon and lightcone. Just like Sunday being in long query. I wish Acheron rerun soon.
I wonder whats stronger Pela + Jaioqiu acheron team or the kafka BS dotcheron team
Depends on the weakness of the enemy both both should preform relatively the same
A major problem with dotcheron is the sp usage
Thats a good thing to figure out!
This is what I want to know...I love my DoT team, so I'm really curious as to whether or not its close to a JQ/Pela team overall.
The only two teams I have is Premium FUA team and FF team, I want to get both Feixiao and Lingsha (she will be my second limited sustain). I’m debating on whether I should get Acheron or skip her and wait for the next broken dps? Because the only Nihility I have is unbuilt Pela so should I also pull Jiaoqiu? Idk if I should skip her or not, I have 110 Pulls and 50 Pity no guarantee. Started playing during aventurine banner.
Acheron still good even with unbuilt nihility support or even no nihility. Just don't expect a busted damage. My consideration for pulling is do you like her gameplay or her character? If you pull for meta, her team are flexibles. You can just slap her with leftover team.
If you are not simps for Acheron gameplay or character then wait for new broken DPS.
@@kaka09876543210 Sorry just one last concern. it’s a lil bit of everything, but being a low spendor with two decently built teams already who also wants to pull both new 2.5 characters, and the other upcoming characters it’s tough. Especially when Jiaoqiu is around the corner who would fit perfectly alongside Pela and her, unless you suggest I get her first and skip Jiaoqiu or pray to the RNG gods I win Jiaoqiu, Feixiao, and Lingsha 50/50’s without reaching hard pity (coping) 😂
But I’m also fine with skipping her. Is Jiaoqiu a must pull outside of DOT and Acheron? Or is he also skippable?
Monster Hunter World BGM :D
I'm probably going to run Sparkle/Robin situationally based on need of the other node. FF on the other node? Robin. Fei on the other node? Sparkle. Harmony in this game is so versatile that all big fours feel like "must have" or at least gives you lot of flexibility in team building.
Everyone was all Sparkle + E2 Acheron I forgot Robin. I have Robin but Sparkle skipped me. Since I only have E0S1 Acheron I’m getting Jiaoqiu. And maybe E2 her when she reruns. But then I might get FeiXiao. I don’t know anymore lol
@@The_CodFish69ha I actually I do! But I don’t have her wearing S1, she is wearing S5 DanceDanceDance instead. I do have her LC but never levelled it cause I lost 75/25 on Jade’s LC.

@@The_CodFish69 yes!!! I can’t wait! Her foxyness and Sunday is definitely what I’m holding out for.
Is this all considering Jiaoqui at a single copy without his signature lightcone? I'm just curious if he's really that cracked at E0S0 and worth pulling a single copy to replace my built E6S5 resolution Pela, or is he gonna need more investment to be worth it? I'm really wanting to get both new characters from 2.5 with possible eidolons and their lightcones, so if the damage increase on my E2S1 Acheron team is going to be negligible, I feel like I may still have to skip him to save funds for Fox Mommy and Bunny Senpai. I already know I'm gonna have to pick up extra shifts just to afford them and I just won 4 50/50s in a row for E1S1 Yunli and E0 Huohuo so my luck is gonna be absolute garbage on the next few banners.
Robin is the best in slot support for basically every crit dps in the game, and this includes Acheron.
While she's not giving extra turns to acheron specifically in comparison to sparkle, she's giving extra turns to the rest of the team, who can apply debuffs and get acheron more ults.
On top of that her personal damage is actually super relevant for finishing off enemies that survive acheron ult without having to waste a 2nd Acheron ult.
Damage calcs/sheets don't really do her justice because they don't include personal damage + how she frontloads all your damage with ult action advance (reduces either your cycles used or AV used depending on the mode)
As for Sparkle/Bronya, as long as Bronya is e1s1 there's not really any skill point issues, and she provides MORE turns to acheron than sparkle while also providing higher snapshot buffs. Sparkle doesn't start becoming better than bronya until you pull her eidolons, which aren't worth it because robin > sparkle.
For anyone still thinking "oh i'll just pull sparkle and e2 acheron to skip jq", e2 acheron + pela + sparkle is just straight up worse than e0 acheron + jq + robin, while costing more pulls. If you want to pull eidolons to improve your team then look at getting e1 robin honestly.
How bout E6 Acheron tho? Jiao/Robin or Sparkle? Still the same?
I mean sure, the dmg is higher, but what about practicality? Robin isnt exactly sp positive since she cripples herself for 3 turns during her ult, not to mention her steep energy cost. And assuming JQ needs to skill either every turn or once every turn, at best, hes sp neutral, if you want to keep his ult up all the time. Acheron would prefer to skill everytime so shes sp negative for the most part. All the sp generation falls onto the sustain then, but is 1 unit really enough to keep the sp economy of the entire team in the green?
@@catontopofhooman5226 Gallagher with QPQ is enough to battery the entire team and provide enough SP assuming Sp neutral Jiao which is what you should be doing since he only has 100 energy cost. In fact Jia+Robin+GallagherQPQ is the only e0 Acheron comp that can 1 cycle the Hoolay boss which mind you has 2.7mil hp.
@@Ilikegames804 hmm, guess i'll try that team out and see which one is more comfy
@@catontopofhooman5226 If you are looking comfort just go with the standard Acheron team. The team requires a bit of brain power to use
I had always assumed you ran ATK boots on Acheron no matter what team you ran with her. Are you meant to run Speed boots if you aren’t running an action advance Harmony?? For example for E0S0 Acheron with Pela JQ Fuxuan?
It funny I just watch video before this and some people saying Robin so much better than Sparkle and Sparkle is useless 🤣🤣🤣🤣
As the issue with support, Robin would be better at most situation.. But I just like Sparkle better for my e2 Acheron 😂 Since she is sp positive and can get sp cashback on her Ulti.. With JQ around spamming skills without any issue.. Maybe I could even slot in Sparkle & Bronya if I'm going to 0 cycle for Acheron..
Surprised you didn't compare using e0s1 acheron (I guess that would make the video too long?) seeing how the three most common acheron questions are e0s0, e0s1 and e2s1
I'm waiting on feixiao's v3 beta to decide if I should go for her e2s1 or get jq's e0s1 (my acheron's e0s1), because right now I don't think she kills mobs/summons fast enough to match acheron's aoe clearing ability
Hey! Great video! One thing, the discord link hasn't been working for some time, I figured I should let you know.
Nice video, though I do have to mention a few points.
1. The damage of an Acheron team depends on A) the buffs Acheron possesses when she uses her skill or ultimate and B) how often her skill and ultimate are used per cycle. You calculated category A) pretty will but kinda totally ignored B). The buffs and the dmg multiplier derived from the buffs are just half of the picture.
2. Single Target damage is king in MoC and AS. When using a well-built Acheron team, the low-HP enemies are of no concern because they will die anyway, debuffed or not. Your clear time depends on how fast you kill that one beefy boss. Even when you have two bosses, usually one of them has a lot more HP than the other. This issue should have been mentioned to clarify how important single target damage actually is.
3. The video shows damage values for 3-Enemies and 5-Enemies. Mathematically, these are accurate but practically they are meaningless because low-HP enemies die long before that value is actually reached. So, most of that damage is actually just overkill damage. Kind of ties into point 2 above. Even in PF the team's performance isn't dependent on high AoE damage values, but instead, on how fast you can repeatedly invoke AoE attacks to clear the current wave. Which is why FuA AoE units do so well there.
4. Since you did not talk about stack generation, Trend LC wasn't a topic. Is this coming in a later video? I did a few tests in the new AC (second half of stage 12) with my Fu Xuan with Trend LC and she provided stacks roughly equivalent to JQ (2/turn). Sometimes more, sometimes less. This means that having Silver Wolf with Trend LC in your team provides a performance that is similar to what JQ will provide. Side grade, so to say. Could have been worth a mention.
Cope.
Moc 2 to 5 enemies . Mobs hp pool has increased. Apocalyptic shadows has one or two boss with three or 5 side thingies. Pf always 5
. Silver wolf st buff is 60 percent.
Jioaqiu single target buff is 50 percent.
Silver wolf aoe is 27 .
But jiaoqiu aoe is 50 percent . That's not even considered 6 acheron stacks he can provide per ultimate. His skill and basic also provides stacks. Making the damage buff double is some cases as acheron can ult many times.
He is an upgrade not a sidegrade
@@nono-lq5uy Please explain your numbers. SW provides debuffs with 54% defence shred and 30% resistance shred. JQ provides debuffs with 35% vulnerability and 15% ultimate damage multiplier. If you sum it all up you will see that when considering single target damage SW provides vastly better debuffs. This leads to why she is the best in MoC and AS. In these modes, the 'side thingies' as you call them don't matter because the main boss has vastly more HP (increased HP doesn't matter). Those side thingies don't need to be debuffed because they will die anyway from Acheron's AoE or will be auto-killed when the boss dies. Which means your clear time is mainly dependent on how long you need to kill the boss. The next time you do MoC and AS do take note of the side thingies and you will see what I mean. So, the question is why do people still prefer Pela over SW then? Well, because she is free! Oh, and because of PF I guess.
@@nono-lq5uy Oh and regarding the 6 stacks JQ provides. Yes, this is correct and puts him ahead of the other debuffers... but Trend LC exists and this light cone also provides 6 stacks in roughly the same time as JQ. Meaning, SW + Trend LC has a similar performance to JQ with his all-in-one package. Hence, a sidegrade. The question though is who uses SW + Trend LC? Apparently not many. If you aren't using this combination then JQ is definitely an upgrade.
@@fullvoid6663 first of all for acheron sw pela galaghar . Sw have 25 percent chance to get lighting implant . Giving 20 res pen . 10 res pen is permanent tho. Right.
50 percent def shred is 35.48% dmg increase . But right now we will do 36%.
If u have bad rng sw can boost dmg to 46%.
If u had good rng it can go to 66%.
Avg will be 56% and that's me being generous in actuality 30% res pen is only be triggered 25%. Meaning 51% dmg increase.
A point in favour to sw if enemy has very high resistance. The buff she provides can go to 70%
Jiaoqiu single target is 50% dmg increase.. only 1 to 6 percent behind sw. And that's beside the stacks he Provide. Trend is very rng. There will be times your preservation unit is never targeted if enemy is 1 target the chances of acheron getting 1 stack will be 25%.
So hence, like u said he is an upgrade. In theory and will be in practical too
@@nono-lq5uy When you use SW you use a pure Quantum team with the exception of Acheron: Acheron, SW, Sparkle, Fu Xuan. This increases the chance to hit lightning weakness to where it is feasible. As for the Trend LC: Yes, RNG, but it is a lot better than you think. On AVERAGE it is similar to JQ's 6/ultimate. Trend LC will provide more stacks in some scenarios, less in others. People who say Trend LC is no good have never actually used Trend LC. I have used it and it is great thanks to enemy AoE in particular. Considering all this, the performance of SW+Trend LC is simply similar to that of JQ (I don't care about +/- 10%). And that is all I am saying. Those of us who have been doing MoC/AS in 1-2 cycles without JQ will still be doing MoC/AS in 1-2 cycles even with JQ.
can't understand shi cuz i'm dumb , so , i have sw , is jiaoqiu worth pulling ? my team rn is sw , acheron , pela , and either huo huo or bronya
JQ worth pulling because he freeing Pela or SW from your Acheron team to other team.
@@kaka09876543210 Buddy Pela and SW are literally only meta in the Archeron team and any other team comp is going to benefit more from Harmony characters. That's a pretty dumb reason to pull Midqiu
same problem here. So in the table the "upgrade" from Pela to Jiaoqiu is 25% damage increase for her ultimate (if you have S5 resolution lightcone, otherwise maybe 20%), plus her ultimate will be used faster (here people say different things on how much faster). So the main problem here is that the calculations do not simulate a real fight with skillpoints, seeing if people survive, how much more damage does it result in, if ultimate is up 25% faster etc. So we have to wait for him to be released for a clearer picture, I guess and if he's worth pulling is highly dependent on what you use your pulls on otherwise. Jiaoqiu is probably around the same damage increase as pulling Acherons lightcone, but you can use him in more situations.
@@Mijoulin thanks bro , i didn't understand more , but i did understand that it's better to wait anyways, and he is worth it , also i might save to get either acheron e2 , or aventurine
Since myfirefly takes up my break team, i put boothill and acheron together in what i call "overkill" since boothill can dish out a lot of debuffs with his e, breaking enemy counts as a debuff cuz of the DOT, and his ult applies debuff too, giving acheron a bunch of stacks
Defenitely gonna pull for lingsha so i can give her to firefly and the "overkill" team can have gallagher for even more stacks
Just a little nitpick but the 'q' in Jiaoqiu is pronounced as a ch sound instead of a k sound.
What about for those who only have one GNSW and E0 Acheron? what lightcone should the second nihility run?
while Robin ok in Acheron team.
her dmg buff is so so compared to Acheron dmg.
She better be in follow up team, who can move faster and have a lot of off-turn attack.
while Sparkle/Bronya is better for Acheron with lc.
If u still can't stack faster, use tank with Market LC.
each enemy atk count as 1 stack
Could you make calculations on dotchron? I have been doing better with kafka and bs on the team than pela/sw. Or even kafka team dot vs archron teams. Since ruan mei is now only on firefly teams.
if you will have jiaoqiu e1s1 acheron e2s1 and sparkle e2s1 then robin is still beter when shes e1s0?
good info
Glad you think so!
How about comparing e2 supports dmg comparison too with e2 acheron
I know this channel also valuing calcs and math, but damn i always feels happy whenever TC calcs and their worshipper prediction is get wreck in the application 😂

Jiaoqiu is a lot better, besides by the time she gets her re run you’ll have enough for both
Jiaoqiu for sure
the teams arent changing unless you wanna waste your primos

@@iSUMMONYT ohh thank you 😊
For an E2 Acheron team, how would Robin’s build be? Like how much SPD do i need on her?
I wont be able to get Jiaoqiu as well, so the team would be E2S1 Acheron, E0S0 Robin, E6 Pela, E0S0 Gepard (hopefully i can get Aventurine tho)
Note: When i say E0S0, i might get their S1 as well based on how much pulls i have left. For other harmonies, i do have E1S0 Bronya.
I currently have 160 pulls and 5101 stellar jades
The more I watch about Acheron the more I think that Acheron is a must pull and Feixiao will not powercreep her -_- I like Feixiao design much more than Acheron's
Pull waifu you want to make it not regretful. Unless you like Acheron or her gameplay I not recomend you to pull for her. Pela and Dr ratio is high tier but I refuse to use them because I not simps fo them and I don't want to use them
@@kaka09876543210 I mean I don't hate Acheron, but if she wasn't Apex level I wouldn't even pull for her.
Will be waiting for Feixiao patch and more reviews on her release kit, but my experience tells me that Hunt is worse suited for endgame content. I think there might be some shenanigans with her speed, but still even 2-3 turns per cycle seems not enough to match mass 5 enemies attacks.
Just pull who you like more
All this confirms is that im lovking in to get jiaqoui adventurine and robin
Thanks for the calcs! Glad to see Pela remains the most versatile among the other options. I got Acheron in part to free up harmony characters but have been struggling with only Pela, so I'm glad Jiaoqiu will make it easier for me. Acheron will stop asking for my Robin finally.
But what you said about Sparkle/Robin at E0 definitely shows the limits of pure math huh, that's interesting. On a single ult, Sparkle will probably give Acheron a bigger number. However, using Robin (everyone E0S0 since that's what I have) shaves so many cycles off a run compared to Sparkle in my experience (and my Sparkle isn't bad, 161speed on eagle). The value lies in the fact that Acheron will also just get more stacks since the rest of the team gets pushed up too. That may differ at E2 since Acheron does generate more stacks by herself, so here Sparkle could indeed be better. Can't test it out myself though (however the showcases I've seen indicate that Robin is still better to 0 cycle with a normal relics investment). Could depend on the enemy too.
Bronya could be tricky to use but it seems worth it, that's interesting.
. who runs acheron with spd boots .
So, I prefarmed everything for Jiaoqiu, good pieces, materials, bosss, etc , but I love Feixiao, I was convinced that I was going to go straight to Feixiao E2 S1 and skip Jiaoqiu after this video, you really sold me Jiaoqiu, I have Acheron E2S1, Sparkle S1, I use that team with Pela E6 and Fu Xuan E1 as sustain, I have 290 tickets, should I pull for Jiaoqiu E0S1 and hope I’m lucky enough to get Feixiao E2 S1? haha
If you have E2 JQ is not must pull. He is nice to have to free other character slot. If you need DPS take fe Xiao.
Can you put it in google sheet and link it?
I think its pronounced jow-cho not jow q
As a new player, who is waiting for Acheron rerun - should I just grab jiaoqiu and pela, or should I grab Sparkle also? Kinda struggling with Sparkle value for me - If I plan to run E0S1 Acheron + Jiaoqiu + Pela, adding Sparkle instead of Pela wont provide me with a big boost - and since I'm not planning to pull imbibitor or ratio, sparkle value is questionable for my account? Or am i wrong, and in some cases Sparkle could be a big upgrade vs Pela at E0S1 Acheron?
If you plan on keeping Acheron on E0, then Jiaoqiu is a very good pull paired with Pela. They make Acheron perform as efficiently as if she was E2 and had Sparkle as her teammate. Think of Jiaoqiu as the cheapest and biggest improvement if your Acheron has no eidolons
Robin > Bronya > Sparkle is how I see it for Acheron's best Harmony
love the honesty regarding skipping things, but i still watch the whole thing because u a real one
Out of topic but should I get jiaoqiu? I don't have acheron but have a Dot team, I also have Jing Yuan to get sparkle but I heard sparkle ain't that good anymore.. or should I save for robin and get jiao?
JQ also good on DoT team. Sparkle is for hungry sp team and jingyuan need skill to fullfill his stack.
I might have missed it, but what is the Acheron E2S1 comparison between Pela and Jia? Currently running the team with E2S1 Bronya.
With sparkle, pela is 98% and JQ is 120%
For e2 Acheron I don’t have sparkle is she worth pulling for since I do have robin
Robin works just fine, though she can be tricky to use due to her costly ult. But there's also the option of Bronya, which can do what Sparkle does just fine, leaving aside possible problems with SP management
If u get JQ robin is acherons BiS support. If you dont then sparkle is better.
But what about E2S1 acheron, with E0 Jiaoqiu and pela and sustain
@@kakashi5435 Shouldn't be that much different than if Acheron was E0, just that Acheron will get one extra stack when it's her turn. At this point you are better of swapping Pela with a harmony
the main point I take away from this video is, that E2 Acheron is just entirely pointless
With Jiaoqiu, it is currently, specially if you'd rather invest horizontally across your account. If you TRULY love Acheron a lot, then hyper investing in her like that can be acceptable, but it's not needed to clear content and it never was
Crazy idead, what if i pull Jaoqiu for my Sw - Kafka team? Could he work?
Once again a stellar video from yourself putting everything into perspective! Thanks so much for taking the time to compare! Based on what you've said I do have a couple of questions. If as the numbers say Robin is moderately better for E2S1 and you DON'T have robin, if you own sparkle, is she worth pulling for E1? Or is it better to save for robin and having her as a more universal support across all teams (I was looking at building a FuA team next)? Thanks for any advice you can give :)
If you plan on getting Feixiao (for your followup team)you might want to seriously consider getting Robin to go with her.
I have E1S1 Acheron.. do you think Jiaoqiu will be more of an upgrade than getting E2 and Bronya.? See I'm about to get the 300 spins guaranteed on the standard banner.. so im planning to skip Jiaoqiu and get E2 Acheron and then Bronya.. but will Jiaoqiu be better than E2 and just run Jiaoqiu and Bronya with Jiaoqiu being solo Nihility.?
For E2S1 Acheron, is Pela still the best in slot or Jiaoqui is better?
Jiaoqiu's better
I've been running e2 acheron sparkle pela robin for months now as a go-to acheron team. Robin has just been so strong. 😂
Is robin better for e2 acheron i feel like it’s more difficult to make work
I'm still unsure how much of an improvement Jiao would be for my e2s1 Acheron compared to Pela + E0S0 Sparkle + Sustain, like is it really worth it enough to pull for him over like, Sparkle eidolons?
JQ stack is permanent.
He don't lose his debuf on new wave of enemy.
Btw....5 star Tingyun leaks just surfaced yesterday, she will be Fire Nihility.....
how come e0 acheron w/ gnsw (pela+jq+sustain) has more damage than e2 acheron w/ gnsw (sparkle+jq+sustain)
More nihility more stack. More ultimate
...how do you skip Welt?
lol what?? U probably the only person that runs him with her 👀.. i never even heard of that.. but since welt sustain is a thing now.. I guess I understand why u mention him
What about welt sustain
No one talks about it because it doesn't work. The only times "Welt sustain" is used are in 0 cycle or 1 cycle clears - which don't even need a sustain most of the time. "Sustain" Welt is simply a fraud. Might as well play "Ruan Mei sustain" if you want to go that far.
So 180 pulls for 18% more damage mhmhm
Whats the baseline stats of sparkle for E0S1 Acheron on these calcs
I'm good with my E2S1 Acheron, don't really need him and have everyone else, and i dont even like his design, imma save for E2S1 Feixiao instead.
My acheron plays with harmony MC welt and bailu
Explain
Still love my DoTcheron team...wonder how that team stacks up against JQ/Pela.
Also hard to decide if its worth the gems to get JQ when I've got Pela/BS. I know he's better, just tough decisions.
