I just realized auspicious star and brain in a vat blessings probably don’t work with Acheron ☹️
yea, as well as energy regen characters like TY and HH.
F2P team:
– Archeron
– Guinaifen
– Pela (Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat)
– Any Preservation path sustainer (Trend of the Universal Market)
Archeron does great damage on her own that her teammates do not need to be very strong DPS supports. However having some wins against having none.
Deluxe team 1:
– Archeron (E2+)
– Pela (Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat) / Silver Wolf / Welt
– Bronya / Sparkle / Ruan Mei
– Any Preservation path sustainer (Trend of the Universal Market)
An obvious deluxe team option that allows a 5-star Harmony character in the team.
Deluxe team 2:
– Archeron
– Kafka (sig lc)
– Black Swan
– Sustainer
I suggest you to try this team only if you happen to own them all. In this team Archeron should normal more often than usual. Kafka and Black Swan already stacks very quickly for her. Just make sure she has ult on the enemy’s turn.
I think Deluxe Team 2 wants Aventurine as a sustainer more than any other currently available.
Besides, how can it be called Deluxe Team if there is not at least one peacock? 😄
Yep, his Follow Up will apply debuff on enemy (+Crit DMG gained)
as far as preservation units, would fire mc be better since taunt counts as a debuff and has a lower ehr threshold?
As long as your team survives before Archeron to kill the enemies off then yes.
Basically we cannot provide Raiden Shogun with Nahida and Furina just yet.
you must work with what you have for the time being.
how important is the kafka lc because i really love this team but i dont have the lc
without her sig lc, kafka is only applying debuffs (and thus stacking crimson knot) on her follow up and her ult. which sort of kills the point of using her and archaeon together.
I guess you could use Resolution Shines in its place?
Without Kafka’s sig lc, she can’t stack for Archeron using her skill, and only with her ult and FUA.
With the lc, she stacks for Archeron using her skill.
Okay, so, how exactly does Acheron’s A4 trace work? Like, is it just a buttload of damage up, or does it apply to the damage multipliers of her BA/Skill/Ult in some way, and does it seem to apply to the bounce part of her A6 Trace?
I believe it applies extra damage% the same way element dmg% orbs and similar things do.
Yeah it will apply as the it is a separate multiplicative value (x1.6) to the total damage.
It’s a multiplier applied to the final damage value. It will never diminish with any other modifier.
Yo i have a question what is the cook for team 2 having kafka and not another nihility like SW or pela(with resolution LC). As the erode from kafka LC added nothing to acheron’s stack count as acheron’s kit state one debuff per action.
The erode will only add stack if LC effects are counted as different action, which they aren’t they are tied to the action you perform with the character.
Also will it not make energy gain scuffed for both black swan and kafka if acheron take the kills as acheron her self doesn’t use energy. Also it is a waste of arcana stacks if we weaken the enemeis with acheron for both kafka and swan to finished it off as you are not realistically having acheron’s ult with out having a decent amount of arcana stacked on the enemy until her ult is up.
The debuff from light cones are added by the action that triggers the effect.
I see so kafka poping the arcana doesn’t count as a debuff added to the enemy right if so yeah kafka having her lc is gonna be huge. Thanks man.
can’t you put resolution shines or SW lc on kafka instead and she will still work in this comp?
Should I force Black Swan for Acheron (I lost 50 50 again) or e6 Sampo and Pela are enough?
I suggest this team instead.
– Archeron
– Guinaifen
– Pela (Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat)
– Any Preservation path sustainer (Trend of the Universal Market)
Pela is so far the only 4-star nihility DPS support that Archeron should not ignore. With the said lc, she may stack for Archeron every turn.
Guinaifen has some DPS support capacity but she needs the enemy to get burnt quickly in order to stack her vulnerability in time. Hopefully we have “Trend of the Universal Market” that should help some. Guinaifen on her own can already stack for Archeron every turn.
“Trend of the Universal Market” is one of the best light cone for Archeron’s sustainer. Archeron gets a stack every time an enemy hits the sustainer with the said lc.
Do NOT consider Sampo, he’s SP-hungry and is suboptimal due to lacking any support for immediate damage.
Better force Black Swan: each time when Arcane are given to enemy, Acheron get +1 energy. I repeat, each time (!) … when enemy enter -> +1 Arcane to each enemy, +1 Ult Acheron energy for each enemy (!) … when BS attack -> +1 Arcane, +1 Ult Acheron energy … you got it, “1 turn = 1 ult cycle”
hsr is just a cheap knock off of genshin tcg
we are at a point where i don’t know if it’s sarcasm or you are just being serious which is sad
genshin is just a money maker for hsr the true game
You know what? I indeed see a resemblance between Acheron’s kit and TCG Raiden card mechanics.
I believe that at one point in time, the dev team was brainstorming ideas for a turn-based collectible game.
It seems one part of the devs was leaning more towards Heartstone-type cart games, and the other turned more into Epic 7.
Seeing that, the management team gave both ideas a green light. That’s how two games were born.
i dont remember asking for your opinion
due to not having many characters my current team will most likely be kafka pela lynx acheron. gallagher would also debuff though with ult so hes tempting to switch my lynx for if i dont need a cleanse. thoughts?
Gallagher can be good, but beware he has no debuff cleanse
Also if you have Guinaifen she can be helpful (provides more utility for the team than Kafka)
Devs really don’t care about paths exclusivity anymore., This is a straight up crit dps. Works for me tho. I’m only farming nihility trace materials.
Question. will sampo skill helps increased her stacks fast? or its just one skill equal one stack regardless of multihits?
One debuff per action = one stack of Slashed Dream (1 energy) + one stack of Crimson Knot (ult damage).
Sampo can apply debuff with both his skill and ultimate, and because they count as separate actions you can get 2 stacks from him.
its definitely worth keeping in mind that as of rn Sampo and Guinafen are the only Nihility units who can apply debuff on Basic Attack without external LC help. For f2p, Acheron might have to run one or both of them to have an efficient team
you mean only 4 star nihility? Cuz SW and BS can also apply debuff on basic attack
true, I intended that towards f2p but the 5star options are very reliable for sp positivity.
If you’re running 2 nihility that can Basic to apply debuffs each turn, Gepard is essentially the only sustain unit who can apply a debuff on their turn regardless of type matchup. Gallagher’s ult and enhanced basic might be enough, but they are still conditional on energy/rotation.
It was confirmed that the Trend of the Universal Market LC burn application can give Acheron 1 stack,
So technically, any preservation unit can debuff as long as they get hit.
oh man, Universal Market was something i was super curious about I hope that interaction remains.
Has anyone been able to test if Acheron can apply Aether Code via Incessant Rain on 3 different targets with her ult? Or does it wait until the entire ult to end for it to pick a target?
Doesn’t her talent specify the debuff has to come from an ability?
“when any unit inflicts debuffs on a target using an ability”, does the LC count as an ability? If so that sounds kinda busted considering there’s no inbuilt cooldown on the LC.
It seems that is a mistranslation; the Chinese description only mentioned that it can trigger once per action.
I did my own rough translation of that part of the talent description that causes confusion:
“After the start of our or the enemy’s turn, any unit’s action that causes the enemy to fall into a negative effect
will grant Huang Quan (Acheron) 1 point of [Can Meng] (Shattered Dream?)
and inflict 1 layer of [Jizhenchi] (Blood Seal?) on the enemy target.
This effect can only occur once every time the action is taken.
If the skill cast causes multiple targets to fall into negative effects,
the enemy target with the most [Jizhenchi] will be inflicted with 1 layer of [Jizhenchi]..”
He doesn’t even need to skill, any hits he does inflicts debuffs
Yeah, basically every his sneeze is spreading Wind Shear. lol
But his DoT-oriented kit is not working much in Acheron’s favor.
I mean, he will work, but Pela or Guinaifen will do better.
Sadly just gives a single stack.
I feel like if she’s swinging 250k Dmg unbuffed now, she’s gonna be nerfed hard in release so future characters can power creep on her. XD
She’s ult reliant her ult dmg has to be high
that said it is still VERY high
Without eidolons and a signature light cone, how frequently do you think she can use her ult?
I think it’ll stay relatively high as bait for potential low-spenders and Raiden fans like me.
Really hope her crimson knot counts as a debuff applied so the set divers of deep waters
Or u could just. Get her lc
Yeah, Pearls of Sweat and Kafka’s Signature LC could technically also work just for giving Acheron a Debuff, but the former is better off on either a more supporting Nihility character like Pela or Gui, or on a Sub-DPS/Support Hybrid like Welt, while the latter only really provides a speed boost and a Debuff… plus anyone with Kafka’s Signature LC lying around probably pulled for it *for* their Kafka… but it technically works, I guess?
Going for e2s1 but im having a hard time deciding on what teammates to use with her
e0s1 BS/e1s0 RM/either HH or FX for sustain is what i was originally going to go with
is BS by herself good enough to funnel enough energy to acheron or should i still go for another nihility ally as well? would bronya work better than RM?
any replies are appreciated :3
I think with e2 bronya would def be better than RM, because the extra crimson knot from the turn start would trigger more. Also, SW or Pela might be better than BS because of their higher defense reduction and lower skill point requirements which would matter a lot if you were running bronya with her.
Her best sustain is Aventurine E0S1 because his ult and his FuAs given you have said S1 will all give her stacks of her ult, HuoHuo is semi useless because the energy doesn’t work on her ult and Fu Xuan is fine but it’s the next best thing if you’re serious on having her be busted day 1.
That said, I recommend Ruan for the 2nd slot and what I said about Aventurine/Fu Xuan
If you go for e2 i recommend pela / guineifei / welt for aoe defense shred / damage amplification and ruan mei.
Not only ruan mei gives dmg boost% she has aoe speed increase with is vital for acheron who needs to stack ult
even if she wins at e2 free stacks at start of her turn you gonna be down skill points alot if you pair with bronya unless you use a yolo comp (acheron/bronya/ruan mei/sparkle) then you can go all in.
Another tip: her signature already have alot of dmg amplification% go for atk% orb
overral acheron is a hyper carry of team you want her to shines she is a glass cannon she starts and (like blade xd) ends fights.
sorry bad english tho
So hear me out (coping)
S1 kafka+E1 Blackswan + Archeron + sustain?
its either this team or SW + pela IMO
“When any unit inflicts debuffs on an enemy target while using an ability, Acheron gains 1 point of Slashed Dream and inflicts Crimson Knot on the enemy target”
I don’t get this “ability”, is this by using skill or any attack that inflict debuff?
Each debuff applied by allies grants 1 stack per action. Multi-hit skills still give her 1 stack.
from leak vid on youtube anything good as long as it put debuff
SP deficiency
result will be SP deficiency
Not really, BS can apply as many arcana with her basic as her skill so she can mostly basic and skill once in a while for some def shred. Can even have her on ehr rope and silverwolf event lc to build her like a supportive sub dps to mostly give Acheron ult stacks and kafka dots. Lastly, plus a sp positive sustain. This team can can rock just fine.
Aventurine can apply Debuff with Follow Up (increasing Crit DMG to that enemy). So Aheron + Kafka + BS + Aventurine = valid team. With E2 – Ruan Mei/Sparkle/Bronya > Kafka
It’s bad idea if check leaks video. Pela, Gui or SW give more damage Acheron when Kafka do noting. At same time use Acheron reduce Kafka output damage that can be higher with any DOT unit like Luka or Sampo.
