I was bashing my head against the wall for a few hours yesterday, and tried some of your tips too.

The deciding factors were skipping Qiqi's ult and tighter timings.

I was swapping high base attack weapons, Xiphos', Fav, etc. but the weapons did not matter much on Qiqi; just the fact that she was hogging time with the ult animation.

Escoffier and Fischl were both on their regular builds with Elegy and Homa.

My Sandrone build is really bad which made things really difficult. I could not find a single clear on stygian moe with a build this bad tbh. I am currently top 60% on akasha with it. ( 61.1/233.2, 19 EM, 2585 atk )

Is it possible for me to clear with this team on dire? My fearless clear time is 65s with the same team although I had way less tries with that.

Things I've tried:

• Beidou (ER blackhole, 290 is not enough lmao)
• Fischl (better dmg but Kuki still faster)
• Instead of Esco: 2nd Electro or Xilonen (both are way worse)
• ToTM on Esco and Noblesse on QiQi (it felt worse than just ToTm QiQi and Gilded Esco)
• Xiphos or Nilou sig on Kuki

My best attempts are with the team above:

• C0R1 Sandrone: crits 61/232, 2 attack% subs, one EM sub, and 10/8/10 talents.
• C6 Kuki on Instructor and Nilou's sig (gives 85 extra EM + 120 from instructor).
• C6 Qiqi on ToTM triple attack, and either Fav or Mistsplitter.
• C0 Escoffier is on a top 200 build with Gilded.

ER needs are met, in the better runs I did not have to wait for any ults.

First rotation: Esco E, Kuki E, Qiqi E, Sandrone 3x CAE, then the same but with Qiqi and Sandrone ults. I try my best to time the sandrone ults with the ORB down phase, I usually hit for 720k.

I also tried runs with different orders and also qithout qiqi ults but tbh the end is almost always the same.

I've seen clears with Sucrose on TTDS instead of Esco but that has way worse results for me.

My Mavuika was also this close to clearing, then I took a week off and the first attempt today was an insta clear with 117s (c0r1) so I'm hopeful lmao. To be fair my Sandrone build is really bad (especially compared to my other builds) but I don't have feathers and craft attempts left.

(don't ask about that Dehya, Durin was needed elsewhere lol)

Maybe I should C2 my Mavuika and then just get a shilled Snez team in the next patch cycle for consistent Dire clears?

It seems like C6 Aquila Bennett is still outperforming my low-cost Durin.

Teams: C6R1 Varka, C6 Prune on Atlas, C2R1 Nicole, C0R1 Durin/C6 Bennett on Aquila with 244 ER% (crowned Burst)

Rotation: I did three rotations on both teams.

Team 1: Durin EEQ -> Prune EQ -> Nicole EQ -> Varka E n1 EE n-spam EE n-spam EE

Team 2: Nicole EQ -> Prune EQ -> Bennett Q -> Varka E n1 EE n-spam EE n-spam EE

Including the Durin build I did the most DPS with, he was on Noblesse. Winds Durin had around 8k less team DPS than Noblesse. As you can see in the build showcase, Durin is double crowned.

Follow up post to my other one. I am still C6 Chevreuse-less (350ish+ pulls in total for her c5 yikes).

Very high cost team: C3 Mistsplitter Clorinde on her set, C2R1 Nicole on her set, C0R1 Durin on DPS set, C6 Skyward Fischl on GT.

I got a few comments basically saying Nicole is cope and Chevvy-less overload is cope, well, I can't pick and choose if Genshin decides to drop me a 4-star or not, but i Can guarantee 5-star supports.

When I did not have Nicole's set the same team did around 172k DPS.

I think I can make it higher too. I know without chevreuse the overload-only teammates don't make sense at first, but these seem to be the best units to pair with each other regardless. (in my case)
