[Traveler Voltin]

they really need to stop asking me to take a survey. i keep saying the same thing over and over again.

and as of today i dont think i am getting Raiden. which make me sad but i will keep trying until the end.

[Yunru]

So i was bored:

[Flaks]

So for some reason the genshin reddit didn't let my post go through so I'll ask here.

I have
c2 raiden with engulfing lightening level 80 poorly rolled 4 pc emblem of severed fate
eula c0 with serpent spine level 90, 4 piece gladiator since by blood stained and pale flame rolls keep sucking
zhongli c0 level 80
xianling level 80 c6 4 piece noblesse
xingqui c9 (lol) level 50
bennet level 70 c4 4 piece noblesse
jean c1 level 80 with pale flame
sucrose c6 level 40
diona level 70 c3 with maiden 4 pc
beidou c6 level 70
childe c0 level 70

Trying to decide on which teams to run where. In terms of power level fun having raiden on my eula team feels awesome but i know i have a full complement for raiden national too. For abyss it sucks feeling like i have to split the 2 up but seems like it's my only option for climbing the ranks and getting the stars.

Ei doesn't help Eula that much. Any electro does just fine, I think Fischl is generally better for her, since Oz does a LOT more damage than Ei's E, hits shields and also has basically 100% uptime. Especially if you have her at C2 pairing her with Eula is a waste of 99% of her potential. If you don't have Fischl then really even just going Beidou will be better. So national + Eula/Diona/electro/Zhongli.

National team + any decent electro spreader plus two supports for a Eula team. Wouldn't really say Beuidou is worth it if you don't have full uptime on her elemental burst.

Could easily clear abyss at max levels, but I wouldn't expect to 9 star floor 12.

Honestly did not really like Fishl with Eula. Biggest problem is outside of his summon, Oz is entirely random single target. Raiden might be wasted on Eula's team, but her ability makes Electro spreading the easiest it can possibly be in the game.

Thankfully I got Yae, so I don't really have to tear my Raiden away from her national team.

[Yunru]

Leakers said those 2 will be on same banner.

[RadasNoir]

Leakers said those 2 will be on same banner.

Whelp, I might be skipping the Ayato banner after all, then.

So national + Eula/Diona/electro/Zhongli.

What is the purpose of having both Diona and Zhongli on the same team? Doesn't Zhongli make Diona a tad superfluous?

Oz becomes much more consistent when Fischl is at C6. Even then, though, hitting random targets is still good for spreading Electro and becomes much less of an issue when you're fighting a single, hardened target where you'd what more consistent damage anyway.

Also, Yae seems way worse about hitting things at random.

[Airlick]

Cryo passive. You can give Eula any cryo (I guess Kaeya or Rosaria could be better), but OP only had Diona listed.

Never thought this could be a problem. Superconduct proc is AoE so you don't need electro on every mob, meaning it doesn't matter which mob Oz hits in AoE floors (plus those floors are usually so easy it doesn't matter if you have SC or not in the first place). And on single target floors there's only 1 mob to hit, so it also doesn't matter.

Starting from the first time that the Lunar Phase refreshes after updating to Version 2.6, the three Lunar Phases will be as follows:
Phase I:
Sheet-Ice Moon
After a character's Normal Attack hits an opponent, this opponent will be afflicted with a Mark of Ending. After 10s, this Mark of Ending will be removed, dealing True DMG to this opponent. When a character's Normal Attack hits an opponent with a Mark of Ending, the DMG dealt by the Mark of Ending's removal will be increased. This DMG can be increased 9 times.
Phase II:
Snap-Rain Moon
After a character's Normal Attacks hit opponents, the DMG dealt by this character's Normal Attacks will increase by 12% for 5s. This effect can stack up to 5 times. Each stack is calculated independently. This effect can be triggered once every 0.1s.
Phase III:
Iris Moon
After a character's Normal Attack deals DMG to an opponent, the Physical/Elemental RES of this opponent will decrease by 6% for 5s, matching the type of DMG dealt. This can stack up to 7 times. RES decreases of different types can co-exist, and their stacks and timers will be independent of each other.

Cryo passive. You can give Eula any cryo (I guess Kaeya or Rosaria could be better), but OP only had Diona listed.

Alright, then on the flipside, why is Zhongli needed if Diona provides shields, healing, and the Cryo passive?

[Xeenith]

because zhongli's shield are tough and last up to 20 sec (with 12 sec charged pillar skill) while diona's shield are weak and don't last long (5 or 6 sec I think while the CD for claw attack charged give better shield HP, the CD is longer than the shield duration)

Of course, but if the National Team can get away with running no shield characters whatsoever (as far as I'm aware), couldn't a Eula-based team get away with having just Diona?

It just feels like overkill to have both Diona and Zhongli on the same team, since their shields don't stack or interact in any way. Since the Abyss is pretty much all about putting out as much damage as possible to beat the time limit, wouldn't it be better to squeeze in another actual damage dealer instead?

[Airlick]

Alright, then on the flipside, why is Zhongli needed if Diona provides shields, healing, and the Cryo passive?

As up said, Diona's shield is extremely weak, while Zhongli's provides def shred on top of ridiculous amount of HP (assuming he's built as shieldbot, obviously). Diona is mostly there for the passive, and as I said, a cryo sub-DPS would be better if available. Though she also has some use against shields, since other characters in Eula's setup are really bad against shields and her E and ult do plenty of damage against them.

Of course, but if the National Team can get away with running no shield characters whatsoever (as far as I'm aware), couldn't a Eula-based team get away with having just Diona?

The difference is that Eula has to be able to AA as much as possible, you don't want to dodge with her, while national is cycling through ults half of the time and even aside of that 90% of its damage is basically passive. Diona doesn't shield nearly enough to let Eula unleash.

[KrayZ33]

Diona's shield isn't weak. Only against fire.

It's certainly not *extremely* weak

Calculate it.
People probably forget to include half the modifiers.
A 30k Diona adds like 14k HP, a 50k Zhongli like 22k.

It's basically up more than 90%++ of the time as well since everyone will use her with Sacrificial.
The standard uptime already is 60%(if a paw misses) to 80% (if all paws hit).

Zhongli+Diona is a massive overkill and just about every other character would be better, especially if it's an Anemo character
Either remove Diona or remove Zhongli.

Don't use both.
I'd pick Diona over Zhongli because if you ain't using Raiden alongside Eula (well, you should...) you need the energy.

IDK, I've played Eula with just Diona for the longest time, she's completely fine. At only lvl70, she was giving out 6k shields, they last 12+ seconds, she has 2 charges with sac bow + she can heal on top of that if needed. Not Zhongli-tier shields, but it was enough for everything.
I have a 42k HP Zhongli too, but I ended up swapping out Diona for Qiqi when the healer dmg set got released, and slotted in Raiden instead for the energy. (Kind of a luxury comp, but hey, I like it.)

Running both Diona+Zhongli sounds superfluous to me as well; although it must be comfy for sure, it could run the risk of damage being too low for some abyss checks.
Either Zhongli + cryo subdps or Diona + whoever that does dmg sounds better, be it electro, cryo, or even some unused Xingqiu (if such a thing exists, like, ever)

Looking at Flaks' list, he could build both teams pretty flexibly actually. Raiden variant is probably the best & easiest to play for a national team, but he could just use Sucrose as a driver as well. Or better yet, Childe, which would free up Xingqiu for the other team (Sucrose slots into that spot in this case).
Only speculating since he didn't mention Fischl, and if he doesn't have Fischl, the Eula team would be kinda iffy with just Beidou or Lisa to apply electro. If that's the case, Raiden would be a pretty big upgrade there, so might be worth "downgrading" the national/international team a bit.
