P0 Laevatain using Battle Pass weapon. No food. Crits contributed about 5% (110k out of the total 2.3 mil HP boss).

Damage Breakdown (2.3 mil HP Rhodgan) - almost all damage done by Laevatain, Camille's contribution estimated at 3%, Ardelia at 1%, Antal at 0.5%.

Laevatain Dmg Share	Damage	% Contribution
Enhanced Battle Skill	1,060,028	46%
Enhanced Basics	502,343	22%
Combo Skill	271,511	12%
Heat Burst	122,876	5%
Forced Combustion	85,726	4%

I used Stanza on Antal, I think Detonation Unit will be more powerful and easier to use. His ultimate buff is powerful but very short (20% heat amp for 12 seconds).

Wulfgard instead of Antal saves you 100SP but loses damage buffs and I don't think BP weapon has enough damage to end in two battle skills. I can't find a place to use the ult-combo reset mechanic here: we already have enough heat infliction in a short fight to get both enhanced battle skills, it would matter more in a longer fight.

Heat burst and combustion damage was surprising: it has low multipliers but it's increased by operator level and arts intensity.

I don't have Laevatain Sig, because I was kind of testing that advice that P5 BP is within 8% of her sig. So here I am now, I have a 66 second clear of Rhodagn. My Endmin clears significantly faster than this (40-50 seconds) with no food buffs.

Am I missing something in the rotation, can anyone point me to a sub 1 minute P0 Laevatain clear without her signature weapon or food buffs?

I actually was just messing around with Chen and Lifeng on Swordmancer and unexpectedly killed the boss with a lucky crit at 0:30, YT link at higher quality.

A different and more realistic rotation is 0:34 with zero crits which is much more repeatable and consistent so I'll use this to show the damage breakdown.

Stagger Burst - 1.3 mil damage

1. Mifu skill 2/3 for 670k
2. Chen ult for 480k
3. Lifeng Finisher for 150k

Pre-Stagger Prep - 640k damage

Total Damage Share is roughly as follows

1. Mifu 38%
2. Chen 30%
3. Lifeng 13%
4. Pog 5%
5. Basic Attacks and Finisher 15%

I split the Basic Attacks and Finisher out separately because it is up to you who to on-field for the basics and finishers. In this run, the damage is split between Mifu and Lifeng on-fielding, but you could even use Pog if you liked.

I'm ignoring off-field basic attackers in this calc. Based on testing with 1 on-field and 1 off-field, they seem to do damage equal to about 20% of the on-fielder basic attacker, so roughly 6% of total damage done in the run can be attributed to off-fielders.

I feel like it's optimal to swap out of Mifu during stun so she can double skill and ult while someone else (Lifeng in this case) can perform the Finisher. Mifu's long skills feel inconvenient compared to how snappy Endmin skills are.

For fast kills you want to push the boss to a stagger state faster, it feels like Chen and Lifeng on Swordmaster might be legit and not actually trolling lol. For longer fights you go to a raw damage build with Lifeng on Eternal Xiranite and Chen on Qingbo.

My latency probably caused my local timer to tick to 0:31 before the server timer officially recorded the time of 0:30 lol.

This is a very repeatable run without any stagger gimmicks or food buffs. Full quality 1440p here.

The rotation revolves around getting maximum value out of Chen's combo skill (10s cooldown with the new Qingbo set). I get to use her combo 4 times in the 43 second clear.

My previous Physical team clear with Endmin (0:49) relied on being able to land Crush + Finisher during the brief stagger of the Phase Change which I found very unreliable, I'm still not sure how animation lock prevents the Finisher from going through. Mifu can't do that anyway since she needs to Battle Skill twice, so I looked for a different route. In theory you can swap to another character to do the Finisher while Mifu skills and Chen ults but that leaves Lifeng and Pog neither of which are built as DPS.

Since I knew I was aiming for a faster time, two Lifeng ults isn't an option, so I just had nostalgia with him taking off Eternal Xiranite and going back to1.0 Swordmaster gear pieces.

Overall I kind of wish Mifu had better multipliers and team buffs, she's a clear upgrade to Endmin but not on the level of Zhuang Fangyi which I get a (0:30) clear with under the same conditions (no food, no 5% crit fishing).

I'm sure I'm not the first to figure this out but it might help other Fangyi players - when she released, the general consensus was that when running Lynx Slab, her ult buildup rotation cost 700 SP and if you add Antal's skill to it, it would substantially lengthen the rotation to 800 SP.

Typically you do this

Perlica BS, Fangyi FS, Perlica CS, Fangyi CS, Fangyi BS (consume level 2 electrification, generate 3 swords)

Perlica BS, Fangyi FS, Perlica CS, Fangyi CS, Fangyi BS (consume level 2 electrification, generate 3 swords)

Perlica BS, Fangyi FS, Perlica CS, Fangyi CS, Fangyi BS(consume level 2 electrification, generate 3 swords)

Fangyi BS (no electrification) --> now you have ult

This originally took 700 SP and you were gated by the cooldowns of Perlica and Fangyi Combo Skill (17 seconds) and there is nowhere you can put Antal's skill. If you want Antal's skill in the mix then you need 800 SP.

Therefore, you either had to sacrifice the Lynx Slab for some UGE and accept the huge damage loss, pull for her P1, or just live with the 800 SP rotation. Or you could use Alesh, or try to pull Gilberta.

HOWEVER.

We can now sneak in an extra skill chain in between the 2nd and 3rd Perlica combo skill, using Antal's skill and Arclight Ult in combination to generate a level 2 electrification. To clarify, the first hit of Arclight Ult applies electric infliction, which triggers Antal skill to add another electric infliction, then the second hit of Arclight Ult converts it to electrification level 2. This might not have been possible before as the Frontier Set did not have enough UGE% pieces, but now they do and Arclight can get her ult in time! In retrospect, a full UGE% build would have been better for Arclight in the past to get to this breakpoint.

Perlica BS, Fangyi FS, Perlica CS, Fangyi CS, Fangyi BS (consume level 2 electrification, generate 3 swords)

Perlica BS, Fangyi FS, Perlica CS, Fangyi CS, Fangyi BS (consume level 2 electrification, generate 3 swords)

EXTRA SKILL CHAIN -- Antal BS, Arlight Ult, Antal CS, Fangyi FS, Fangyi BS (consume level 2 electrification, generate 3 swords)

Fangyi FS, Perlica CS, Fangyi BS (consume level 1 electrification, generate 2 swords) --> now you have ult

So this also consumes 700 SP, takes less time (since you skip the "extra" battle skill after the 3rd Perlica combo skill rotation), and manages to replace one Perlica BS with an Antal BS.

Antal's buffs are substantial - Detonation Unit, Focus, Ult debuffs, and adds a level 3 electrification into your stagger rotation, the extra electrification levels really boosts the damage of Fangyi's skill even though you don't get more swords from it. I don't have Gilberta to test this but I'm sure she does very well.

As for the bonus clip... nothing much to say, Physical Endmin is still strong, just the normal rotation.
