@Shigurui Nice! Jinhsi’s great. Still in Top 2 most powerful DPS imo, but she’s fun to play too and the big nukes are great, though they require some build up. Baizhi’s pretty good, if a bit clunky, but can’t hold a candle to Shorekeeper and Verina in most teams.

I’m currently deciding whether to skip Phoebe, also a Specto DPS but also a sub-DPS hybrid. Her kit reads like it does DOT damage (first in WuWa). Currently I don’t want her, but I’ll play and see how she feels. But I also currently have everyone and kinda want to keep that going as long as my luck holds out, but that might mean I end up missing a character I really want. As usual decisions, decisions… lol

@themightyant — Yeah she deals Spectro Frazzle DoT. Rover does it too, been messing around with it and it deals pretty good ticks. The new 4* craftable sword amps it as well, you can buy one from a Riniscita vendor too, fun mechanic. Pretty sure that the upcoming free catalyst type weapon amps it also. Basically built for Phoebe.

I'll be skipping all banners for a while now, I want Shorekeeper and Jiyan whenever they rerun so I'm saving as much as I can for those two.

@Shigurui I've never been a big fan of DoT in the past — I think I like the big numbers too much — but I watched a video over the weekend that reframed it a little for me. In the video they outlined precisely the main issue I have with Jihnsi and Carlotta, that their peak damage is so back loaded that everything is usually dead before you launch the nuke, if you do full rotations. DoT is the opposite of that.

Related what I like about Jiyan and Camellya is that their damage is more towards the front of their rotations, and then they sustain that damage for a while meaning it's better for waves of content and open world. They vocalised what I was saying in several comments above. So although she's also Spectro she fills quite a different role to Jinhsi, and has vastly different teams… so maybe I'll go for her, i'll see if she's fun.
