Black Swan can work without Kafka in the same way that Jing Yuan/Argenti can work without Tingyun/Huo Huo. Think about it, if you run Jing Yuan or Argenti without those battery supports, all that really happens is you take longer to launch your ultimates, it doesn't make them downright unplayable. Similarly, without Kafka, the only real downside is that Black Swan can’t detonate her DoTs much more sooner (i.e. the frontloading that Kafka enables), which honestly is only a huge dealbreaker if you wanna go zero-cycle sweaty tryhard mode which I would also like to point out, doesn't yield any bonus rewards for doing so. Black Swan + Kafka might be meta, but it would be a foolish error in judgement to look at this game in a hard dichotomy of 2 polar opposites where something can only either be meta/broken/must-pull or else utter dogshit.
i used my guarantee on black swan instead of sparkle on my main! i’ll probably grab kafka next time around to use her to her full potential but i don’t regret pulling her! i will probably run her with ratio for now.
Big Brain Moment! It's refreshing to have someone actually think outside of the box and not following the so called meta. I saw people shaming players for getting Black Swan without Kafka and I'm like WTF? You like the character ? Pull for it ! It's your time and it's for Your enjoyment after all! And remember folks! There will be more nihility characters in the game soon, so you are investing in the future (if you enjoy the dot gameplay). Have fun trailblazers!
Black swan is pretty dot heavy so Kafka makes her stacking faster with dentonation…but if you whaled and got E6 black swan, she works in any team with decent speed.
in terms of f2p other dot characters would be mc for physical fire mc if you get trading lc serval refreshes shock dots hook applies a stronger dot than himeko but has lower base stats, as for black swan if you got bronya you can speed up any dot character so that you get more arcana before black swan resets stacks
After getting E2 for IL, I put 75 on Black Swan. Then gave up and waiting for Sparkle now. Tough choice. I have fully built Seele, Jing Yuan, Jingliu, Bronya, E1 Ruan Mei,E6 Tingyun, E6 Yukong, SW, Welt, Clara etc so Sparkle makes more sense
Interestingly, I am already using that exact same team for Dr ratio with Guinaifen instead of blackswan. I probably won't swap in blackswan to replace guinaifen but I do want to look at a team similar to that team but instead of ratio, some other character that will work with blackswan E1. Currently I'm thinking of Blade, Bronya, Blackswan and Huo Huo as a pure wind team, though blackswan will need to be more basic attack focus here for SP.
@@g.e.f2855I don’t think they’ll synergize that well as black swan is focused on the dot play style. While many believe that Acheron will be more of a debuffer like Welt.
i have bieng saying this since her leaks, shes playabe in any team cuz hes Pelia but better you dont need any of those dot Units unless you want her to be a "hyper Carry" for some strange reason
I summoned for black swan despite not having kafka and I do not regret anything haha. Been using bw, guinaifen, ruan mei and lynx for now at least (I am still only trailblaze lvl 55 and pretty new to the game) but I assume this is a fine f2p team for starters
Who do you think is better for me to build Sampo Or Guinaifen, i dont have Guinaifen yet but i can get her from the event, Sampo is at E0, can be E1 if i pick him in the event, Who is the better choice?
For the Dr ratio team, are there any f2p alternatives for fuxuan? I am a new player and I only have 3/4 of those characters and I really hope there's an alternative to fuxuan..
@@2CANTCME sorry , I was asking about epiphany causing 25% damage take in their turn. Like if it's in their turn can other dps do more dmg or just just when enemy act.
@@2CANTCME yeah , I confirmed it if you use any ultimate or attack when enemies taking turn then only it applies otherwise not. I would have been great otherwise.
In my experience, just wish for crit/crit damage and all your relics will drop hp%/def% or spd/ehr 😂 And only on your healer/support pieces, and never your dps pieces. My Ratio rocking that Penacony 2-pc set, with rainbow pieces besides...
They changed the name in patch 1.3 . They also changed Asta's E6 from "Galaxy Dreams in Calm and Comfort" to "Cosmos dreams in calm and comfort" so it was an overall change from galaxy to cosmos to make it sound grander I suppose

Dude super awesome you thought of ratio. I had the same idea. It's not too bad of a team.
Dr ratio black swan actually works! Lol! Thanks for this.

the team with ratio slaps.

I just started HSR and have Dr. Ratio, so this could not have come at a better time to sway me to pull Black Swan over Dan Heng

everyone is forgetting that acheron is gonna be a nihility character
I'm curious on how her and Black Swan will synergize
what about it

I'm entrusting my beginner ass to your guides. Will binge your contents
Feel free to ask any questions
I actually wished on black swan just to get misha and accidentally got her so here I am looking for team comps
I've been using BS with Serval cause I don't have kafka😂😅 or any DoT
I summoned for black swan despite not having kafka and I do not regret anything haha. Been using bw, guinaifen, ruan mei and lynx for now at least (I am still only trailblaze lvl 55 and pretty new to the game) but I assume this is a fine f2p team for starters
you can use serval, she is not a dot unit but can deal some shock dmg
I have black swan e1 and sampo e4. Im definetly gonna pull for sparkle and acheron. Wish me luck yall
No Kafka but now i have 120 pulls saved for Acheron lol.
Damn I need Fu xuan
Dr ratio team is so fun, not as strong as with kafka but really really fun and i can still clear moc so idc about meta when using them.
Same that was the team I was most excited for when I saw her lmao
#teamnihilitymommys
Who do you think is better for me to build Sampo Or Guinaifen, i dont have Guinaifen yet but i can get her from the event, Sampo is at E0, can be E1 if i pick him in the event, Who is the better choice?
guinaifen is better, since sampo needs his e4 to pop off here
I only use Luka because I nihility is almost all uh glees but he’s only e0
For the Dr ratio team, are there any f2p alternatives for fuxuan? I am a new player and I only have 3/4 of those characters and I really hope there's an alternative to fuxuan..
Yea tbh you can use any sustain, I'm use fuxuan bc I lack crit rate for my ratio and she is the only sustain that gives that but any can work
@@2CANTCME I love you so much thank you for this
Can black swan use welt lc?
I thought acheron was gonna be a 4 star
What if you use that preservation light cone that debuffs the enemy with fire if they attack your Fu Xuan?
Tbh that what I've been using on here with my normal ratio team lmao
The ratio team i dont have ruan mei,can i replace it with asta ?
You can or tingyun she would prob be better imo
I am gonna be playing her mostly with kafka, I have them both at E1 :)
Hey guys black swan def ignore on epiphany only works on dots no?
Yes , her skill is the only universal def down
@@2CANTCME sorry , I was asking about epiphany causing 25% damage take in their turn. Like if it's in their turn can other dps do more dmg or just just when enemy act.
@marupurusaivamsi4802 ahhh yes tbh i don't know for sure let me test brb
@@2CANTCME yeah , I confirmed it if you use any ultimate or attack when enemies taking turn then only it applies otherwise not. I would have been great otherwise.
@marupurusaivamsi4802 yep I got the same thing seems like you need to spam ults on enemy turn
Mr streamer, please teach us how to get good relics because ffs I cant get any shit with both spd and EHR
In my experience, just wish for crit/crit damage and all your relics will drop hp%/def% or spd/ehr 😂
And only on your healer/support pieces, and never your dps pieces. My Ratio rocking that Penacony 2-pc set, with rainbow pieces besides...
Gui or sampo if you can build only on?
depends on eidelons really, if sampo is e4 i would go for him, if not gwen
wait, its not called pan galactic??? when and why did they change it?
tbh not sure just noticed when making this vid LMAO
@@2CANTCME damn, i thought pan galactic sounded better, maybe it has something to do with the lore

@@ScarletCottonCandythey got sued by the chocolate company NOOOOO
serval serval serval serval serval.
Between sampo e4 and Guinaifen e2 which one is better?
sampo
Sampo
what about serval e6 she also gives dot
It could also work the only diff is she does not reproc dots to her stacks can't grow from that
really well then i can use e2 guinaifen
@emoboi4002 that can work just Match to elemental typing at the end of the day breaking is more important imo
I am actually close to pity for her so let me give it a try. Kafka never lands for me 😢
But how about for no ruan mei? 😅
Use tingyun
Just might be harder to break shield
sampo e1 or guina e0
Gwen until sampo is e4
