Just a heads up for those considering her light cone vs. eidolon 1: Good Night and Sleep Well S5 is equal or very close to equal in most situations (on DoT teams specifically). E1 on the other hand is a roughly 15% damage increase. So it comes down to if you want to run hypercarry Kafka or DoT Kafka. The DoT playstyle is the only thing that makes her unique however so I can't imagine running her any other way. Which ever you decide, good luck to you!
I mean... I think it's very hard to have a weak character release this early in the games lifespan. I think the first most questionable 5star genshin had was MAYBE Eula in 1.3 or Yoimiya in 2.0 . And even they had their strengths at the time
Not sure about you said it's weak. I managed to level up her into 80 early and made her attack damage into 7823. She don't focus on crit but she can compete with Jing Yuan
kinda amazing how people switch, they said that she would not deal alot of damage because of niche gameplay. if you play and invest well at characters it would deal good damage. also kafka is good for future DoT characters
I can say that Kafka really changed the game because of her dot. Like I wasn’t a fan of dot style because I thought it wouldn’t do much damage but now I am enjoying this gamestyle more than anything. Kafka is just insane
If you are f2p this is a huge win, you could have skipped jing jun, blade, and not built sushang and just got kafka and built sampo and luka and you have 3 elements covered with only one banner pulled on.
I'm semi free to play (if such a thing exists), having bought the monthly Stellar Jade thing. I started near the end of Silver Wolf's banner, and as such missed out on all the important ones, like Seele, SW, Jing Yuan, Luocha, skipped Blade, don't have Bronya, Welt or Bailu. This banner though. I saved up for Kafka. I lost the 50/50 to a second Clara (argh, any other would've been OK) and got the guaranteed Kafka. And somehow a ton of copies of Serval and Sampo. So they're both at E6, and Luka at E1. That's basically a ready made Kafka DOT team. I only need to level Luka so I have 3 different types of DOT, while temporarily using Serval. I'm glad I got Kafka, but man, I used up a ton of Fuel and other resources to level her, Sampo, Serval and now Luka...
Good end argument , like she is the first person u see and then she just disappears , and yet we apparently worked with her in mad missions as blade said, so much mystery that Kafka will eventually answer for us .. hard not to wanna pull
I can't believe I got 2 of her! Not gonna push my luck since I have e6 Serval e4 Sampo and e1 Luka AND E1 Kafka, but starting 4200 Jade Strong for the next character!
Considering her traces kafka barely needs any eff hit rate at all so 2 substats other than attack and speed are free for crit build if you're lucky enough to get them
I was kinda worried that she would be a supbar character, but doesn't seem like the case. Also she looks very future proof. As someone that doesn't spend hard earned resources (both the grind and my paycheck) just cause "mommy", i thank you for your video
She might be future proof but the characters she wants with her won't be. Meaning u will build two 4 star dot DPS:es that will be powercrept the moment a 5 star dot character appears. It's a beta test dot team right now
@@dante19890And? You can't have everything you ask for. Some if not most of the characters you use r8 now will be Powercrept later. It's great that you are looking into the future but you gotta live in the present.
i got her at 40 pulls (out from loosing at the Seele Banner wayyyy back with Bronya), and i still have 11k leftover jades. im mulling over getting her LC or just wait for Herta's shop LC at 1.3 (i do have Fermata) so far, she's the first "real DPS" for my account since i never pulled after the Seele banner. And i am surprised at how she deals truckloads of damage , even w/o DoT characters, i tried her with the usual Sampo / Asta / healer and it deals alot of damage, and also tried her with Pela, Hook and healer and she does fine damage as well. you only need for her to get 134 speed (135 for your other DoTs so they can go first before her) and you need like 30+/- EHR for her skills to always hit. If you're getting her LC, as i've seen on Kafkamains -- you need 60++ EHR for Erode to be always active. Good thing i love Nihility so i got Sampo built (who am i kidding, i built him in anticipation of guaranteed Kafka), and now they're a pretty good solid team.
@@romuchiha8269 eversince i saw Kafka, i told myself (AFTER LOSING TO SEELE BANNER) -- i will have you insi- i mean in my account. so i never pulled on any banner, ever. except the weekly freebies from SU since i still need that 300 pulls from Standard banner
A low investment Team for me is Fire Trailblazer with the 4 stars light cone that have 100% chance to burn ennemies when attacked, Asta for Attack, Speed and more Burn, Kafka and a Healer.
this game is so casual, you gotta love her so much to care about getting her best light cone. Might as well be a responsible spender and just go with her best 4 star light cones.
Nah, f2p and small spender will have serval build and asta so what they really need is build kafka and either luka/ sampo to replace serval later on. So its not that hard unless those f2p and small spender does not use asta or serval then that is bad
I just wanted to lose a 50/50 for once and get Clara... 4th win in a row but not that upset XD dropping Jing Yuan as the lightning DPS I use, that's for sure.
hey man i love your content, good explanation and simple too understand. I just wanted to ask, i have Kafkas BIS lightcone so with the 5% speed increase each action, with speed boots and my substats i get 144 speed. Is it better if i go for Atk boots instead? it leaves me with 120speed but to get to 134 i need to do 34 actions.What do you think of this? Thank you for the help! keep up the grind
Kafka wanter since day one. Said to myself back then idc if she's mid or she sux I'll get her no matter what. She's the main reason i started to play. And it turned out she's top tier as well
247 pull so far i lose rate off to clara then gurantee kafka then win rate off on lighr cone banner and lose again in char banner to bronya and guranteed so far 24 pity
Trying her with Himeko. Not going so well. The problem is that I'm not interested in the other characters with DOT... Help! ( i dont like Luka and Shampooo )😐
how much atk/speed/ehr does she need exactly?? like I get that these should be prioritized but I have no clue if like....... 45% ehr is too much or not enough or what😩
I got both Luka & Sampo E6S5, i'm building Luka NOT Sampo because i don't like him and it feels like a waste to invest in a character u dont like. BUT MY BRAIN keeps telling me it's dumb of me to not build him because i have him E6S5... such a big dilemma i'm really struggling because of this
I'm just wondering, can you apply the same dot multiple time ? For exemple her ultimate applies a dot for 2 turns, if I use her ultimate before the 2 turns expires, does the enemy get a 2nd dot or does it just reset the duration of the 1st one ?
I’m f2p and honestly to me Kipling kafka will be better for me cos I’ll be able to guarantee a fu xuan with at least 150 pulls to be able to run mono quantum
i got really lucky pulling for her as F2P and got her on E1 and 2 of her lightcone but should i superimpose the lightcone or not? cuz i think there are better 4* lightcone to give to the other character on kafka team
just keep it first man, PAYN is kinda unique lc since it gives spd and dmg% but you can't use 2 PAYN lc in one team because erode only inflict enemy that has no erode, or can't stack
I lucky enough to get Luka E6, so if turned out he's best for Kafka I'm gonna be so happy and build him. Even though currently I run Serval E6 for Kafka.
Why not? Jing Yuan takes on an entirely different role than Kafka. She enables a whole new style of play that has as a source of damage not only her lightning element. While Jing Yuan is a total hypercarry, all of his team's damage revolves around him exclusively, unlike Kafka. Looking forward to the next DoT characters.
Maybe I'll try getting her on her rerun, i have guaranteed rn and i can probably get her if i want to, but i really want dan heng Im version, plus i have jingyuan already, but I'll definitely get her on her rerun she looks fun.
@@user-it8gl2zk9z I never said your opinion was wrong or that mine was more right though did I? Hell, I didn't even share my personal opinion about Kafka. At all.
The more dot dmg characters, the more variety for Kafka team building
Imagine if there an Abundance character that can apply DoT
@@lazytitan46you can use a preservation character with the burn applying LC instead
@@rsg_magfire true, I used fire mc with the Trend of Universal too. at least until my dot team got enough damage.

Doomposters and kafka haters are crying in the corner.
well, it's a pity it won't teach them anything and they will continue to doompost her or the following characters.
hahaha I beated the phantalia boss by using Kafka and Jing yuan as a Carry, Lol. I'm using natasha as a healer
nope I dont like her

Really like how this video was presented. Very digestible and to the point and great edits
kinda amazing how people switch, they said that she would not deal alot of damage because of niche gameplay. if you play and invest well at characters it would deal good damage. also kafka is good for future DoT characters
The thing about Kafka you don’t really need to invest so much searching for double crits in every relics making it so much easier to build her
I can say that Kafka really changed the game because of her dot. Like I wasn’t a fan of dot style because I thought it wouldn’t do much damage but now I am enjoying this gamestyle more than anything. Kafka is just insane

Yup. And there is a potential in her for being a key figure in future 5star DoT teams to use out the 5star DoTs's full potential.
Better yet, you can use fire mc instead of healer and can get burn DoT aswell. Thats 4 element
@arikorma9059 also, supposedly the new Harmony MC will double break effect or something, and I think is supposed to work really well with kafka.
@@tweezy5804 Harmony MC? Where did you hear that?

literal mommy > meta, being good is a bonus. imagine regretting a character you consciously decided to pull yourself.
*cough* JYuan *cough*

im f2p got Kafka E1 and her light cone, simply love her gameplay.
Kafka dmg is and playstyle is nice. Have doubt about her, saving for IL. I ended up pulling her LC also. Super fun character. Worth pulling. ❤❤❤
I made a comment in a video you mentioned about her, see told you she would be fine on her own, her damage was already high enough from the leaks.
It’s crazy how only a week before people were saying to skip her because she was nerfed 😂
I feel very blessed I got kafka's LC in 16 rolls (24 total pity)
probably the best technic animation so far

Try Serval

How to deal with Mommy issues tutorial
i got really lucky pulling for her as F2P and got her on E1 and 2 of her lightcone but should i superimpose the lightcone or not? cuz i think there are better 4* lightcone to give to the other character on kafka team
Having more light cones is never a bad thing and u might be able to use it on a character in the future so dont (thats my opinion)
imo, superimposing a 5* LC, unless you whale, is better to leave it for others.
just keep it first man, PAYN is kinda unique lc since it gives spd and dmg% but you can't use 2 PAYN lc in one team because erode only inflict enemy that has no erode, or can't stack
I have seen Kritka do 0cycle on MOC. She is carried by her sig LC and talent. It actually has high atk scaling tf.
With Bronya for faster cycles for talent reset.
I lucky enough to get Luka E6, so if turned out he's best for Kafka I'm gonna be so happy and build him. Even though currently I run Serval E6 for Kafka.
I get e4 luka and e6 sampo still slowly building kafka first
She is our mother ❤
Any character that doesn't rely crit rate/damage is F2P friendly to me
She is my mommy your mommy our mommy
We love her 😂
Stop at e2 or go for her e3? :(
Blade said something about how we were with Kafka before the game story began but she put the thing in us and basically rebooted us or smth

What hen tie channel? 😅

"lightning damage"
Once more, play who u like :3 waifu/husbando > meta

Same bruh, stuck at moc just because i need 1 more healer
Trying using shield, that is the only other option
MC fire 4star market light cone
As a F2P BTW, I simply can't justify getting Mommy this time around with Serval doing a good job with lighting damage.
😁real talk, I hope everyone’s got a khafka n a light cone
Fun fact: I got her + her LC even tho it cost me 218 pulls bcs I lost 50/50 again.
I got her e1 instead. It does more damage
Damn bro Kafka's damage it's soo big ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Too bad I want Imbibitor Lunae more.
The thing about Kafka is that if you have Jin Yuan she wont progress your account. But on the other hand she enables a whole new play style.

While Jing Yuan is a total hypercarry, all of his team's damage revolves around him exclusively, unlike Kafka. Looking forward to the next DoT characters.
Well, I'm not building Luka, cause we all know he is on borrowed time ä. As soon as a new 5 star DOT character comes, he is gone.
Sampo is better than him imo.. but I will still build him for combo-ing with Kafka vs physical weak enemies. I play MOC so it matters for me.
Sampo will be replaced by Black Swan in the near future as the 5 star wind nihility partner for Kafka.
