ZZZ Top Up

Picture this: Yae Miko, the sly fox shrine maiden, holding her own as an off-field Electro sub-DPS in those buzzing 2025 Aggravate teams. She drops her totems to slap Electro onto Quickened enemies without stealing the spotlight. We’re talking 4-piece Gilded Dreams artifacts, an EM Sands hourglass, Kagura’s Verity in hand, and 140-160% Energy Recharge for dual Electro lineups. Focus your talent upgrades on Skill over Burst, build around Nahida or Alhaitham as your Dendro core, and nail that totem triangle for peak damage. This guide breaks down the builds, rotations, and those pesky Dendro hiccups—straight from someone who’s spent too many late nights tweaking her setup.

Quick Takeaway: Aim for 180-260% ER on Xingqiu to keep that 80-cost Burst humming along for solid uptime. Sweet spots? 220-260% at C0 without Sacrificial Sword; drop to 150-180% if you’ve got Sacrificial in play. Go-to weapons: Sacrificial Sword to slash ER needs. Artifacts: 4pc Emblem of Severed Fate all the way. Substats: ER edges out CRIT. Team tweaks: 180-200% in National setups. Pro moves: EDQ rotations and particle funneling. Push for 75%+ uptime while juggling damage—test it out.

Quick Take: If you’re building Tartaglia for those brutal full-kit DPS rotations, Polar Star pulls ahead of R5 Rust by a solid 10-15%. It’s all thanks to that juicy 33.1% CRIT Rate substat, the +48% ATK from max stacks (at R5), and a flat +24% boost to Skill and Burst damage. Rust? It slams +80% into Normal Attacks, but docks you 10% on Charged ones – still a beast for F2P players sticking to Normal-heavy playstyles. Stick with 4pc Nymph’s Dream artifacts, aim for a 1:2 CRIT ratio (50% Rate, 200% DMG), and run Vaporize teams to shred Spiral Abyss floors.

Quick Take: For Raiden Shogun, aim for 200-300% Energy Recharge (ER) to keep her 90-Energy Burst firing every 18 seconds or so. This setup amps up her damage scaling and team battery role through Enlightened One—think +0.6% energy restoration and +0.4% Electro DMG for every 1% ER above 100%. Most builds settle at 200% as a solid base; push to 250-270% if you’re going hypercarry. Grab ER sands paired with Engulfing Lightning to reach 250-300% overall, nailing those tight 18-second rotations with just 3-6 particles.

Kuki Shinobu excels in Hyperbloom teams as an off-field Electro applicator. Her Elemental Skill can trigger Dendro Cores, dealing significant reaction damage while also providing healing. To maximize Hyperbloom reaction damage, her Elemental Mastery should reach 1000-1100. For artifacts, the 4-piece Flower of Paradise Lost set is recommended, and for weapons, Iron Sting. Due to the elemental particles generated by the team, her Energy Recharge can be maintained at 130-200%. For a premium team composition, consider Nahida, Yelan, Alhaitham, and Kuki Shinobu, as they have pure synergy. For a free-to-play budget, Dendro Traveler, Xingqiu, Sucrose, and Kuki Shinobu can also perform very well. The rotation typically involves applying Dendro first, then Hydro, to generate Dendro Cores, cycling approximately every 20 seconds. Even at C0, leveling her Elemental Skill to 10 makes her very powerful.

Yun Jin’s Elemental Burst? It’s a game-changer for Normal Attack setups, dishing out 32-68% of her DEF as an additive Base DMG Bonus to those swings and stabs. Lasts 12 seconds or until 30 triggers per team member—whichever hits first. And here’s the kicker: multi-hit attacks rack up multiple triggers per enemy, making her a dream for Yoimiya’s rapid-fire 21-27 shots or Clorinde’s blistering 36-41 hits. Stack up with the 4-piece Husk of Opulent Dreams set, aim for 200-240% Energy Recharge, and grab Engulfing Lightning or Favonius Lance as your polearm. Team ideas? Yoimiya as the hypercarry shines brightest, but Ayato teams hold their own. Nail the rotations, and you’ll keep that 30-trigger uptime rolling from C0 all the way to C6.
