Any regrets S6ing Phrolova? Nope. None.
She farms the fastest of any of my characters including S6 Hiyuki and Aemeath. If Hiyuki can stay in ult form between runs she'd be faster (she can in some domains but not weekly bosses).

35,656 Endstate Matrix: S6 Phrolova / S2 Lucilla / S3 Mornye
Thanks for all the tips on quickswapping with Phrolova. After testing, I found she only quickswaps effectively with Lucilla during the first rotation. After that, a standard 1, 2, 3 rotation with animation cancels worked best because of Lucilla’s Outro buff.
This may only apply to S6, but lower investment Phrolova showcases with Lucilla do not seem to quickswap much either. I do not have Cantarella, Quiyuan, Galbrena, or Sigrika yet, so I could not test those teams.
For this run, I used dodge, skill, enhanced skill, enhanced BA, and Echo Skill to cancel BA3. I used Forte Heavy to cancel enhanced skill and enhanced BA. French Tutor already made a great video covering her animation cancels, so I just weaved a lot of them together here. If anyone wants a tutorial of what I did, I can make one and post it.
Help Optimizing S6 Phrolova/Lucilla Quickswap
I don’t have Cantarella, Qiuyun, or Sigrika yet. But watched a few videos explaining Phrolova’s animation cancels and wanted some help optimizing her quickswap rotation with Lucilla.
This run scored 27.5k, but I’m not sure how much more I can optimize with this particular team. S2 Lucilla seems to need to finish her full enhanced basic attack sequence, while S3 Mornye has a very fast rotation. Am I missing any useful cancels or swap windows? Any tips would be appreciated.
New Alpinestar GP Plus R V3 for $125!
A while back was in the market for gauntlet gloves and considered the GP Plus but ultimately went with the Held Titan XR2.
​
Saw these today mislabeled and the store associate honored the wrong sticker price! Had to snag them. Will either be a spare or I'll give it to my brother in law who just got his license.
SFF PC: 5800x3d for $350 or go AM5 for $1200?
Current setup: Dan A4 H2O SFF build, 64GB RAM, 4090 + 5950X, and an Odyssey G9 ultrawide (~4K pixel count).
How much gaming uplift would I see from moving to an AM5 X3D chip? I mainly play WuWa, Genshin, open world RPGs, co-op games, and Valorant.
WuWa is my biggest concern. Even with a 4090, I get low FPS and occasional stuttering in some newer areas at RT High + DLSS DLAA + Frame Gen. The game is notoriously CPU bound (single threaded) and can be quite RAM hungry.
A full AM5 ITX upgrade (CPU, board, 64GB DDR5) would cost me about $1,200. The alternative is staying on AM4 and picking up a 5800X3D Anniversary for $350.
Does WuWa Have a Widely Accepted DPS Ranking Methodology?
I'm a Day 1 Genshin player, and before we had DPS dummies, the community largely used KQM standards for theorycrafting and team DPS calculations. KQM's assumptions weren't perfect, but they provided a common baseline for evaluating character strength, kit design, and meta relevance.
Does WuWa have anything similar?
So far I've mostly seen Prydwen, but it doesn't provide actual comparable DPS rankings/numbers, and not everyone agrees with its placements. I also came across a site called ArabWuWa that has DPS rankings, but I'm not sure how credible or widely accepted it is.
I understand DPS isn't everything and doesn't fully capture a character's value, team synergy, comfort, utility, or skill requirements. Still, as the roster grows, it would be useful to compare older and newer characters using a consistent build and team standard. Is that harder to do in WuWa because of factors like quickswap, varying rotations, and higher skill expression?
Are there any theorycrafting communities, spreadsheets, sites, or ranking systems that are generally respected by the community and backed by actual calculations? Ideally something that provides concrete DPS numbers while also explaining the assumptions, team requirements, rotation difficulty, and other caveats behind those numbers.
I'm not looking to judge characters solely by DPS, but having a reliable quantitative baseline seems valuable.
High Investment Skirk - Melt vs Freeze
Someone asked about Melt Skirk, but I couldn’t comment the photo, so I figured I’d share my testing here.
My Skirk team is very high investment, so this won’t apply to most accounts. Still, since this is Skirk Mains, I thought it was worth sharing.
893k Melt Skirk - 85s
943k Freeze Skirk - 85s
FPS unlocker / SW / 11n2 2N5
Durin/Nicole C6R1
Skirk C6R5 / Furina C4R2 / Escoff C6R5 / Shenhe C1R1 Engulfing Ligtning
Melt might perform better with R5 Durin/Nicole and if I had Freedom Sworn. Maybe an EM sands Durin or something. Not sure what the builds are for max invest Skirk Melt.
My Akasha if you want to see builds.
Skirk Quick Swap Dire Tulpa - 28s
I started playing WuWa a bit ago, and the QS mechanic inspired me to try something similar here.
Probably about as fast as I can get with my Skirk team. I might be able to shave off one more second with cleaner swaps, but skill cooldowns are the main limiter now.
I’ll experiment more with rotations when I have time.
ISTG anything less than 100% Crit Rate is 50% crit rate
I built her to 90% crit rate because I use C6 Illuga in her full Stygian team. Use triple tap E nuke to speedrun dailies. And even though I only do 2–3 domain runs per day, somehow I miss a crit EVERY single day. It's so frustrating...
Iuno enjoyed finally leaving the mines
S6R1
Finally got an okay 1C Gusts of Welkin echo. Only 16% lib dmg bonus from echoes but oh well. GL to everyone still farming.
In Genshin I usually stop building at top 10-20% in Akasha. My favorite characters I farm and dump resources until top 1%.
Since there isn't a leaderboard like that in Wuwa, when do you decide to stop? I'm missing liberation dmg bonus (im only at 15%) and atk. Could have higher crit dmg rolls too. I'm considering using a transducer or two for this 1C echo. How close to perfect do you build?
Still union 58 so haven't maxed her or frost burn yet.
Returning player here. I quit in 1.1 but recently came back and picked up Lynae, Mornye, Hiyuki. Medium spender.
My main planned DPS units are:
- Hiyuki
- Aemeath
- Carte
Not planning to pull Augusta, so I know part of Iuno’s value is irrelevant for my account.
Right now, I can’t fully clear endgame with only one real team, and I don’t know how long it’ll be until Aemeath or especially Carte rerun. I’d hate to pull and build Iuno now just to bench her later.
Since she’s a healer and heavy ATK buffer, does she still slot into enough teams to be worth it even if she isn’t BiS? I’m also trying to manage pulls since Chisa and Denia (possible FB Aemeath?) are coming soon. Any other characters in 3.3 I should consider? Any advice appreciated.
