At 17:33 I talk about the order of damage for Kazuha's burst and I made an oopsie. His anemo damage actually hits first, not his absorbed element damage. The anemo damage hits second on the plunge attack, but first on the burst
I love how down to earth this advice is. Not pulling for constellations and saving for more fun characters to swap out is simple but powerful advice. Ty for breaking everything down!
Zajef's impressions are the best thing bout his vids /hj But in all seriousness, you were already really great back then, but I can't get over how having a great editor brings it up further and makes it more digestible! Kudos to you and the team
i want to add as a kazuha owner, he is the best over world character in the game. the double jump or just higher jump is game changing. you notice when you do random stuff around the world and he is not on your team.
True, also against overworld mobs his hold skill is so efficient at pulling them on-demand and the plunge basically one-shots them a lot of the time lol. His skill even gathers enemy drops, it's just so convenient. He is truly the most goated overworld character
Ironically, not at all, you get a lot of more value from running skills like Mona sprint or Yelan skill, also a unit like Venti will obliterate pretty much everything in the overworld as long as you can spam his burst on top of also having a vertical movement flying ability with his hold elemental skill, hell even his base elemental skill makes enemies fly away, synergizing with his burst.
He is one of it, we also have,, xiao: free plunge no death, 2x sing2 dashing really good for gliding, jump higher but sacrifice burst venti: a black hole (fun to farm anoying scepter), free wind-current. sayu: rolling free stamina, a ninja ez farm crystalflies and other animals Also pecial run charas like mona or ayaka, ez across water/lake/river like going to geo cube almost forgot keqing skill, convinience to farm colus and etc you'll notice when do random stuff around, and they arent on your team:)
Great video! Hopefully, Double Swirl setups for Kazuha (and also Sucrose for comparison purposes) would be included in the Kazuha rotations guide since it’s pretty important, but often gets neglected.
That said, mono-anemo vs. several waves of just infused Fatui is the most satisfying thing ever. That's another reason I love Kazuha + Venti so much, overkill grouping can come in clutch, and the stagger can prevent a lot of bs as well.
Sucrose was very underrated that when people heard kazuha is an expensive sucrose, they take that as a roast even tho In reality it's a praise. Bcuz of how underrated sucrose was, kazuha was underrated. Now that Kazuha became more popular and got highly rated, sucrose is being underestimated and underrated by some people who thinks that kazuha is better in every way.(i used to be one of them)
@@guyschill2059 no really tho even in reaction teams if kazuha can double swirl, kazuha will be better there. Where Sucrose is better than Kazuha is when Kazuha can't consistently double swirl in a reaction team, or Sucrose can stay On-field in reaction teams.
@@guyschill2059 In those Reaction teams where Kazuha can double swirl, kazuha will be better even if sucrose can double swirl. it still depends on a lot of factors. But Generally Sucrose will be better if 1. She can stay On-field in a reaction team. 2. Kazuha can't consistently double swirl in a reaction team.
This combined with the Kazuha myths video are probably the 2 best videos covering everything about him as a unit on YT. The biggest reason I'm pulling for him and haven't really built my C6 Sucrose is mostly due to play style, I'm just not really a fan of how she plays.
Fell asleep half (ish) way through the vid, only woke up an hour or two later bc I had an alarm set. Best nap I've had in a while, 10/10 excellent relaxing background noise, definitely would nap to again.
every time I think your thumbnails can't get any weirder I am proven wrong lmao currently on 50/50, if I get kazuha great! If I don't I'll save my guarantee for a sumeru character
PogU Mr. Zajoof. I was on the stream when you recorded this video but I wanted to watch it again cuz I enjoy your content. Also leaving a comment for the Algorithm YEP. WideHardo
Also Schaufle, did an AWESOME summary of the questions. All the important questions asked while having saving the last two most important questions at the end. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
31:28 it’s messed how many casuals say “fuck meta” and then go for the most meta unit in the game. The casuals were the ones who took the comment 5 star Sucrose the wrong way, and now the filthy casuals are the ones barking about wanting Kazuha the most.
31:03 I'm one of the people who called Kazuha is expensive Sucrose at v1.6 . Most people rejected my statement, they hated me because I told them the truth.
@@mintsugas yeah this back then instead of saying in the manner like Zajeff mentioned "he is expensive Sucrose, therefore he's good and it's good to have 2 anemo buffers", it was used in the manner of "he is expensive Sucrose, why do you pull him if you have Sucrose?" without looking at what people actually need (lack of anemo char etc)
the things that many people not realize about kazuha is when he face MOST type of the content especially in abyss, almost all TC and content creator always said that if the enemies are pullable and there are many of them + have many waves then use venti, otherwise.. which are heavy or boss type enemies then use either kazuha or sucrose. But there are 3 chamber in abyss and there are so many combination of the enemies appearance, like for example in chamber 1 the enemies are pullable, chamber 2 heavy enemies and chamber 3 boss type enemies, this combination happen most of the time and that's when kazuha works best than any other anemo characters as he is really flexibel and because of that his usage always waay higher than venti/sucrose because many people prefer using kazuha in that situation including me. On top of that, in my opinion kazuha is the best when facing heavy enemies like geovishap family, fat fatui, etc.
He's really good in every single scenario, not the absolute best, but still really good, and I think that's important as a support unit. Also, his abilities are centered around himself, so he offers a more controlled playstyle.
@@soreal156 i think he means Kazuha's skills and bursts aoe have an aoe around him, his skill pulls enemies inwards towards you so it's a super convenient form of crowd control.
i love your explanations. You are a very articulate person. You explain things succinctly and don't need many words to get your point across. That's a rare skill.
Itll be very helpful for people to know a TC non-based perspective of Kazuha, Im sick with all the fanboysm Ive seen towards this character recently, great video to clean up all the missinformation spread around Kazuha, Venti and Sucrosse, as always, best TC/Meta content out there.
Really apreciate this video, because when I talked to a friend yesterday, he was thinking that if he skipped Kazuha his account will be useless although he can already get 33 stars. He was playing genshin non-stop (around 5-7 hrs per day) for 3-4 days to get every single primogems. Hope he understands
u can totes 36* abyss without kazuha, i have yet to get him on my account too. but i guess he just opens more room for improvement and has a fun factor with him. if he wants to get him, then do so 😌
I've been 36 starring abyss even before kazuha was introduced in 1.6, I've been 36 starring abyss after I skipped him since I saved up for Raiden instead. Your friend will be fine.
@Zajef77 17:30 I'm a bit confused about the order of application of Kazuha's DoT burst. Here it said the infused pyro DoT damage comes out first and then the anemo DoT, but I found an example where the opposite occurs: th-cam.com/video/FfN9wmwwW2A/w-d-xo.html at 4:55. Here, the kenki has no element before the first DoT hit. You can see here that the anemo DoT hits first (no swirl because there's no element on kenki), and then the infused pyro DoT hit (therefore kenki has pyro at the end, but kazuha doesn't have increased pyro damage bonus because no pyro was swirled). If the infused pyro DoT hit first as claimed then what'll end up happening is kenki gets affected by pyro, then the anemo DoT swirls this pyro, resulting in pyro damage bonus for kazuha. But this is not the case.
“If enemies do not possess an aura, then the absorbed elemental DoT will apply an aura at the same time that the anemo DoT hits an enemy. When this occurs, no reactions happen.” From the keqingmains guide Effectively they happen at the same time. But there is order for reactions when the enemy has an aura on them. When no aura, then at the same time
Gonna be very interesting to hear you revisit Kazuha post Dendro! Saving for his C1. I'm sad I didn't pull for it because his E is so freaking fun. C2 also seems Pog, so here's hoping I'm lucky when he comes back.
I think part of the reason why Kazoo was underrated on launch was because most of his teams weren't a thing back then. Basically tenten's argument in his Kazoo vid. Taser team didn't have a good non-sucrose on-fielder (Kokomi, Ayato) yet. Vape teams were really popular, and he's basically equivalent to sucrose there (wink wink expensive sucrose). The freeze team back then was mostly Ganyu and she prefers Venti. Hyper Raiden wasn't a thing. Mono element is generally seen as cope. You just... didn't really need him back then.
Good video Zaj, covered good points on all three and not dissing any of them, also this is why I LOVE my girl Sucrose, despite being a 4* she is incredibly powerful and can compete with 5*.
@@hazxiii9657 I see, I think based on design I'm going for Nilou. Kusanali just because she's an Archon and maybe another Dendro DPS be it Tighnari, Haitham, or some other character released in the future. A bit undecided on Scaramouche but collecting the Harbingers seem to be just as interesting as collecting all the Archons now, especially with how the designs have been shared through the PV.
Something to mention: with the advent of Dendro Reacitons and the polymorphic reactions they bring: C2 kazuha will be a much bigger deal because there will be more teams in general that can take advantage of the 200EM compared to just vape/melt teams Keqing combined with Kazuha C2 that hit the Catalyze reaction will be 200 more EM for the bonus damage on per hit that the reaction grants. this is very useful for fast hitting electro units. but this is just a single example of a single reaction that we'll be seeing. this also goes into the point that EM scaling in general which is a point of favor to Sucrose is getting more important with more EM scaling comps.
Please correct me: Fav weapons are a team buff, usually the extra particles of one proc are in the range of ~20% less ER or about four substats worth (~4*2% = 8% team DPS gain). From the goblets we can see that dmg% and atk% have the same %, so I'd gauge dmg% is about the same as atk%. Freedom-Sworn offers 20% atk (4 subs worth) and 15% dmg (3~ substats worth, if applicable), i.e. Freedom sworn is 7/4 the buff fav sword is. I also have a questions regarding the Lisa-Xiangling-Kazuha-Bennett team: By the logic above, shouldn't fav codex be better than R5 Hakushin ring? I'm interested in building it, but the sky high ER req scare me of.
it's a bit of an overgeneralization unfortunately. Any stat can provide a variable amount of damage depending on situation. Sometimes, DMG% is better than ATK%. Sometimes, it's the other way around. Sometimes, the DMG% on freedom sworn is useless because your damage comes from bursts and skills. It just depends too much to be able to give a general value to the buffs like that. For the other question, I'm honestly not sure.
@@EliteAssass1n How about Ganyu Dendro Bennett Zhongli. If Dendro can make pyro stay longer or applying again and again, you don't need Kazuha right? Idk how burning reaction might work though.
@@kingtswasey you don't normally use Ganyu's burst at all in melt, and he definitely applies enough for her charged attacks. I don't know offhand if it's the best Ganyu melt team but it's definitely good.
Oh btw c6 kazuha allows you to do very expensive guoba swirl with c6 bennett since it allows you to swirl his own sword with benn ult infusion and his own anemo infusion. Totally not worth the money but it's quite interesting to mention
One thing, I wanna add is, that Venti's energy requirements are practically non existant, meaning he doesn't need to sacrifice Em for Er. Therefore he will usually have a higher Em than Kazuha and dealing more dmg. Not to mention his cracked constellations, that will boost his personal dps by a crack ton, even if this is not realistic for most players, his dmg potential is significantly higher than Kazuha's.
Not really First of all if you are going for Triple EM builds You don't get EM sub stat on EM main stat Sands Goblet and Circlet So you can go for ER rolls and in some teams those ER rolls will be enough for Kazuha
Congrats on making one of the most copium takes ever. Venti and "cracked constellations" should never be in the same sentence. Kazuha's C2 is worth more than all of Venti's constellations combined, because everyone on the party benefits. Venti's C6 is worth half the amount listed, because VV already often shreds below 0% resistance. Venti is just a cheat code for his ult, the rest of the time when his ult doesn't work he's just an average anemo unit. In those situations where his ult is useless which is basically floor 12 for almost every single patch that's not a Venti banner, comparing the two character's personal dps doesn't matter when Kazuha's team's damage will outperform Venti's team via buffs. When his ult doesn't work, you'd wish he was a 5-star Sucrose.
@@MegaSJ I think you misunderstood the point of the comment. He said, that they deal the same amount of dmg and explained it with, that they swirl the same amount. Which isn't true, as Venti isn't forced to use an Er sands or Er weapon and can go full Em, meaning, that he will have higher swirl dmg and therefore higher dmg overall. The statement about Venti's cons was also all about his dps potential.
@@desertdust777 You can't go for triple Em with an Em weapon on Kazuha, unless you get 15-20 Er substat roles, which is very unrealistic. Or you got a team, that generates so much energy that you can significantly lower his energy requirements.
@@Doki_LP Venti and Kazuha have same Energy requirement - 60 Energy And Venti refunds 15 Energy at the End of his burst That doesn't mean He doesn't need ER Kazuha just needs little more Not too much
It is true that Venti usually demolishes waves way better, but in teams where the anemo character can E off cooldown anyway, Kazuha's rhythm can be amazing. Venti's 8/~15s grouping uptime is usually great, especially if you just do some battery in the downtime and then frontload dps again, but does have a sometimes awkward 7s chunk, which gets worse if you wanna line him up with longer rotations. This is also why quickswaps with both of them are the most consistently satisfying mobbing teams.
Another thing with Kazuha initial release was the access to other anemo units, I was ok with him but already had Venti, Sucrose, Xiao and everyone gets the traveler, most of my friends went the same way and honestly being right before the new characters hurt him. I believe a lot of people will be getting lucky on the upcoming banner to go into sumeru with a 50/50 but it may be me being paranoic about it.
24:50 Say it louder for the people in the back. This is why C2 Kazuha is not worth it, especially this close to Sumeru. You're basically whaling for no reason. Save for Sumeru.
@@jellynellye Raiden's C2 is much better than Kazuha's C2, which just gives him something that Sucrose already has. That being said, for every con you get, you deprived yourself of a new 5-star, because cons cost as much as a 5-star character. If you get every 5-star anyway because you spend hundreds/thousands of dollars on the game, think of how much money you could've saved if you didn't go for cons. You don't need cons to 36* abyss.
At 17:33 I talk about the order of damage for Kazuha's burst and I made an oopsie. His anemo damage actually hits first, not his absorbed element damage. The anemo damage hits second on the plunge attack, but first on the burst

Ask Zajef has quickly become one of my favorite series.
I love how down to earth this advice is. Not pulling for constellations and saving for more fun characters to swap out is simple but powerful advice. Ty for breaking everything down!
the nuances you provide (and that too in a simple manner) is whats so unique about your channel. Keep it up and thanks :)
It's something unique to people, that really understand the mechanics of the game you mean.
Yeah homie is an amazing teacher.
Zajef's impressions are the best thing bout his vids /hj
But in all seriousness, you were already really great back then, but I can't get over how having a great editor brings it up further and makes it more digestible! Kudos to you and the team
The great answers and explanations coupled with great editing really makes this vid amazing
i want to add as a kazuha owner, he is the best over world character in the game. the double jump or just higher jump is game changing. you notice when you do random stuff around the world and he is not on your team.
He saved me from enkanomiya multiple times, I've fallen off to the void which would be inescapable without Kazuha but he got me out
True, also against overworld mobs his hold skill is so efficient at pulling them on-demand and the plunge basically one-shots them a lot of the time lol. His skill even gathers enemy drops, it's just so convenient. He is truly the most goated overworld character
Ironically, not at all, you get a lot of more value from running skills like Mona sprint or Yelan skill, also a unit like Venti will obliterate pretty much everything in the overworld as long as you can spam his burst on top of also having a vertical movement flying ability with his hold elemental skill, hell even his base elemental skill makes enemies fly away, synergizing with his burst.
He is one of it, we also have,,
xiao: free plunge no death, 2x sing2 dashing really good for gliding, jump higher but sacrifice burst
venti: a black hole (fun to farm anoying scepter), free wind-current.
sayu: rolling free stamina, a ninja ez farm crystalflies and other animals
Also pecial run charas like mona or ayaka, ez across water/lake/river like going to geo cube
almost forgot keqing skill, convinience to farm colus and etc
you'll notice when do random stuff around, and they arent on your team:)
in the end, he is replacable both in combat and exploration

Great video! Hopefully, Double Swirl setups for Kazuha (and also Sucrose for comparison purposes) would be included in the Kazuha rotations guide since it’s pretty important, but often gets neglected.
He will release a rotation guide tomorrow.
That said, mono-anemo vs. several waves of just infused Fatui is the most satisfying thing ever. That's another reason I love Kazuha + Venti so much, overkill grouping can come in clutch, and the stagger can prevent a lot of bs as well.

@Zajef77 17:30 I'm a bit confused about the order of application of Kazuha's DoT burst. Here it said the infused pyro DoT damage comes out first and then the anemo DoT, but I found an example where the opposite occurs: th-cam.com/video/FfN9wmwwW2A/w-d-xo.html at 4:55.

You can see here that the anemo DoT hits first (no swirl because there's no element on kenki), and then the infused pyro DoT hit (therefore kenki has pyro at the end, but kazuha doesn't have increased pyro damage bonus because no pyro was swirled).
If the infused pyro DoT hit first as claimed then what'll end up happening is kenki gets affected by pyro, then the anemo DoT swirls this pyro, resulting in pyro damage bonus for kazuha. But this is not the case.
“If enemies do not possess an aura, then the absorbed elemental DoT will apply an aura at the same time that the anemo DoT hits an enemy. When this occurs, no reactions happen.” From the keqingmains guide
Effectively they happen at the same time. But there is order for reactions when the enemy has an aura on them. When no aura, then at the same time

@@hazxiii9657 I see, I think based on design I'm going for Nilou. Kusanali just because she's an Archon and maybe another Dendro DPS be it Tighnari, Haitham, or some other character released in the future.
A bit undecided on Scaramouche but collecting the Harbingers seem to be just as interesting as collecting all the Archons now, especially with how the designs have been shared through the PV.
Something to mention:
with the advent of Dendro Reacitons and the polymorphic reactions they bring: C2 kazuha will be a much bigger deal because there will be more teams in general that can take advantage of the 200EM compared to just vape/melt teams
Keqing combined with Kazuha C2 that hit the Catalyze reaction will be 200 more EM for the bonus damage on per hit that the reaction grants. this is very useful for fast hitting electro units. but this is just a single example of a single reaction that we'll be seeing.
this also goes into the point that EM scaling in general which is a point of favor to Sucrose is getting more important with more EM scaling comps.
Thank mr.editor and jojeff
Please correct me:
Fav weapons are a team buff, usually the extra particles of one proc are in the range of ~20% less ER or about four substats worth (~4*2% = 8% team DPS gain). From the goblets we can see that dmg% and atk% have the same %, so I'd gauge dmg% is about the same as atk%. Freedom-Sworn offers 20% atk (4 subs worth) and 15% dmg (3~ substats worth, if applicable), i.e. Freedom sworn is 7/4 the buff fav sword is.
I also have a questions regarding the Lisa-Xiangling-Kazuha-Bennett team: By the logic above, shouldn't fav codex be better than R5 Hakushin ring? I'm interested in building it, but the sky high ER req scare me of.
it's a bit of an overgeneralization unfortunately. Any stat can provide a variable amount of damage depending on situation. Sometimes, DMG% is better than ATK%. Sometimes, it's the other way around. Sometimes, the DMG% on freedom sworn is useless because your damage comes from bursts and skills. It just depends too much to be able to give a general value to the buffs like that.
For the other question, I'm honestly not sure.
@@Zajef77 Thanks for the answer!
@@Zajef77 the proper first response to almost every question in Genshin. "It depends"
16:42 You mentioned ganyu teams but didn't mention if melt was included. Is Ganyu, kazuha, zhongli and bennett the best ganyu melt team?
No, kazuha doesn't apply enough pryo to melt her burst and charged attacks. I think Sunfire Jean is the only team that applys enough pyro for both
@@kingtswasey Ganyu Dendro Bennett Kazuha could/should be enough to overtake it in raw DPS soon, but gotta play without zhongdong
@@EliteAssass1n How about Ganyu Dendro Bennett Zhongli. If Dendro can make pyro stay longer or applying again and again, you don't need Kazuha right?
Idk how burning reaction might work though.
@@kingtswasey you don't normally use Ganyu's burst at all in melt, and he definitely applies enough for her charged attacks. I don't know offhand if it's the best Ganyu melt team but it's definitely good.
@@EliteAssass1n It'd be even stronger if you swap Kazuha with Shenhe
Oh btw c6 kazuha allows you to do very expensive guoba swirl with c6 bennett since it allows you to swirl his own sword with benn ult infusion and his own anemo infusion. Totally not worth the money but it's quite interesting to mention
Then why do u call it a guoba swirl
Bouken swirl
I love the thumbnail😂
One thing, I wanna add is, that Venti's energy requirements are practically non existant, meaning he doesn't need to sacrifice Em for Er. Therefore he will usually have a higher Em than Kazuha and dealing more dmg. Not to mention his cracked constellations, that will boost his personal dps by a crack ton, even if this is not realistic for most players, his dmg potential is significantly higher than Kazuha's.
Not really
First of all if you are going for Triple EM builds
You don't get EM sub stat on EM main stat Sands Goblet and Circlet
So you can go for ER rolls and in some teams those ER rolls will be enough for Kazuha
Congrats on making one of the most copium takes ever. Venti and "cracked constellations" should never be in the same sentence. Kazuha's C2 is worth more than all of Venti's constellations combined, because everyone on the party benefits. Venti's C6 is worth half the amount listed, because VV already often shreds below 0% resistance.
Venti is just a cheat code for his ult, the rest of the time when his ult doesn't work he's just an average anemo unit. In those situations where his ult is useless which is basically floor 12 for almost every single patch that's not a Venti banner, comparing the two character's personal dps doesn't matter when Kazuha's team's damage will outperform Venti's team via buffs. When his ult doesn't work, you'd wish he was a 5-star Sucrose.
@@MegaSJ I think you misunderstood the point of the comment. He said, that they deal the same amount of dmg and explained it with, that they swirl the same amount. Which isn't true, as Venti isn't forced to use an Er sands or Er weapon and can go full Em, meaning, that he will have higher swirl dmg and therefore higher dmg overall. The statement about Venti's cons was also all about his dps potential.
@@desertdust777 You can't go for triple Em with an Em weapon on Kazuha, unless you get 15-20 Er substat roles, which is very unrealistic. Or you got a team, that generates so much energy that you can significantly lower his energy requirements.
@@Doki_LP Venti and Kazuha have same Energy requirement - 60 Energy
And Venti refunds 15 Energy at the End of his burst
That doesn't mean He doesn't need ER
Kazuha just needs little more
Not too much
THANK YOU ZAJEF!
clouds hide, the birds... 😂
I had classes to attend so I thought, I would watch like 10 mins but ended up watching the entire 32 mins without even realizing xD
Un verdadero momento panas 👍
Will Anemo really be able to compete with Dendro soup? (Six reactions overlapping all the time)
Need more testing, but from my understanding, you can replace Anemo with Dendro in some team to do more wack reaction.
The big question
Can't wait for the 20 page guide on jank dendro setups. Or dekokomon (dendro sukokomon)
It is true that Venti usually demolishes waves way better, but in teams where the anemo character can E off cooldown anyway, Kazuha's rhythm can be amazing. Venti's 8/~15s grouping uptime is usually great, especially if you just do some battery in the downtime and then frontload dps again, but does have a sometimes awkward 7s chunk, which gets worse if you wanna line him up with longer rotations. This is also why quickswaps with both of them are the most consistently satisfying mobbing teams.
Can’t wait to pick up Kazo for my Childe team ^_^
me with 180 wishes saved up since raiden's banner watching zajef talk about whether kazuha is a must pull: *_hmm interesting_*
Omg same can’t wait for him to drop
the freedom sworm time stamp in the description should be 27:28 instead of 26:28
if this video doesnt get famous in the genshin community, i am going to be incredibly disappointed
Pog video as per usual GIGACHAD
Another thing with Kazuha initial release was the access to other anemo units, I was ok with him but already had Venti, Sucrose, Xiao and everyone gets the traveler, most of my friends went the same way and honestly being right before the new characters hurt him.
I believe a lot of people will be getting lucky on the upcoming banner to go into sumeru with a 50/50 but it may be me being paranoic about it.
my eyes didnt lie to me right.. there's "PANAS" in the thumbnail.. right?! O_o
31:42 most informational part
GREAT VOICE IMPRESSIONS
Should I pull Kazuha? I already know. Should I watch Zajef's video anyways? Yes
i heckin love zajef
Ah yes. Mr Zashave with yet another cursed thumbnail
Certified panas moment
I do have a question can C6 diona(300em) affect kazuha buff
200 and yes because it's flat
@@cry7910 thanks for letting me know
bro we gotta talk about that thumbnail
Panas 🔥🔥🔥
24:50 Say it louder for the people in the back. This is why C2 Kazuha is not worth it, especially this close to Sumeru.
You're basically whaling for no reason. Save for Sumeru.
I got C2 Raiden and she’s worth it for me. Nothing wrong with getting cons.
@@jellynellye Raiden's C2 is much better than Kazuha's C2, which just gives him something that Sucrose already has.
That being said, for every con you get, you deprived yourself of a new 5-star, because cons cost as much as a 5-star character.
If you get every 5-star anyway because you spend hundreds/thousands of dollars on the game, think of how much money you could've saved if you didn't go for cons.
You don't need cons to 36* abyss.
@@MaskedGuyCh And that sucros that you alread have suffers from:
Long cooldown
High energy cost
Give him the Sacrificial Sword, take c6 Diona and here we go a free c2 Kazuha
Thank you for the video!!
Editor you are awesome, amazing, handsome, wise, cool, rich, poor, tall and great.
Thank you Zajef👍🏽
