Unleashed Chakra is a self-buff that grants 50 additional chances to get targeted and a 100 Attack buff stackable, making it stackable. It has implications for Xiao, a genius martial artist who mastered the techniques of her people at a young age and used them to defend the weak. Xiao never wanted power for herself but to protect others.
In Final Fantasy, Unleashed Chakra is necessary in awakening technical abilities and is not available as of batch 16.5 (2018-06). Players should consider switching to a healer or consuming food to refill their health bar after using the burst twice. Chakra can be used with Xiao to support her 70MP skill and heal herself, making her more powerful.
Chakra Desiderata will gather Resolve even faster when Electro characters use their Elemental Bursts. However, not everyone can unleash great power with chakra, as many people only use it to enhance their physical skills. Chakra UI Vue is a lightweight and customizable component library to help players learn and improve their abilities.
In this work, Chanvin Xiao addresses the question of how far imitation learning can push for challenging dexterous manipulation tasks. They show that a simple recipe of Xiao’s abilities can be used to create a powerful and effective character.
In summary, Unleashed Chakra is a powerful tool in Final Fantasy that can be used to support Xiao’s 70MP skill and heal herself. However, not everyone can unleash great power with chakra, and it is important to consider the potential limitations of this tool for enhancing physical skills and abilities.

📹 How Many 5-Star C1s are ACTUALLY Broken?
Big thank-you to Stefan D, Madeleine R, Cris M, Runemori, Chaos Era and Eggy on Patreon and CreativeName, zzz, …
The dismissal of kokomi burst made me laugh out loud since I use her as the the driver of a hyperbloom team currently, she’s my favorite catalyst to use due to her targeting (love klee but her bombs made me drop her) no one on my itto team can reach those new flying ruin guys when they’re in the air but kokomi burst easily kills them
The benefit of Nilou C1 when running a Bloom comp, is that her Aura is then active 100% of the time. That is VERY useful. Plus, if you go the other route and want to run her a a sub-DPS for a Vape team or something, then the constellation isn’t useless because her melee stance gets the 65% buff ! It’s a very versatile C1 !
hu tao was a nice surprise for me, a fairly new player who was only wishing for thoma, but her c1 was definitely unexpected. she was literally the first 5* i ever got a constellation for, just before getting my first diluc constellation on the standard banner a little later. i wasn’t even aware of how broken it was until i actually started playing with her (took me some time farming for her, mainly bc i hadn’t even fought the primo geovishap before getting her bc i was terrified of it). now, almost a year later, she’s still one of my most reliable dps units :’))
C1 Kokomi is good, you are seriously underestimating on fielding Kokomi with clam in top tier comps like tazer and some bloom/hyperbloom variations. The damage increase is quite noticeable and most importantly it triggers another instance of hydro application not tied to her ICD. It’s probably her best constellation outside of c6 and the only one really worth going for. I’d put her at where Kazuha is. If you are just using her with Tenacity in a freeze team its useless, yes.
The first and only C1 I got was Kazuha’s, and it was completely accidental – I was just trying to go for Heizou constellations and I completely forgot 5* pity even existed lmao. It’s definitely a massive QoL increase, I couldn’t imagine not having it now; plus I’m delighted to have any constellations for my main, regardless of how good they are. (on a side note, I’m still desperate for more Heizou cons- I got C2 Kazuha in the same 10-pull as C1 Heizou, and after ~250 total wishes on that banner I still only have C3 Heizou :’))
I got C1 Ayaka accidentally, and at first I hated it…but learned to love and appreciate it due to how it synergizes with my R5 Amenoma which grants more energy refund for every time you use E before bursting. Therefore, I usually get 2 stacks which makes my burst time always 100% with literally 120% ER. So if I switch swords, C1 becomes useless, but with Amenoma, getting in that extra E due to CD reduction makes her energy FREE!
About Itto’s c1. It’s a 2% increase over optimally played c0 Itto. Doing so requires stuff like cancelling your 2nd AA with Ushi, and other stuff that can prove to be awkward in practice. Unoptimal c0 Itto can be improved by anywhere from 1.5% to a 20% dps increase depending on situation and combo used. Furthermore, c1 Itto frontloads his damage by a lot. If you’re fighting something with vulnerability windows, or you simply don’t want buffs like Gorou to run out, it can be a major boon.
Early on, when I had no sense of banner strategy, I got Kokomi’s C1. And it’s really quite good. It’s a large enough damage increase that the 3rd attack in her chain really does hit notably harder, and more damage is also nice, but it’s also additional Hydro application. That second part, especially, has been getting a lot of use in my Hyperbloom team since, while in burst, she’s the only particularly good on-fielder for it. Not useful if you’re off-fielding though, for sure. Also, while her E healing really is quite comfy, her burst healing is “lmao I’m immortal and so is everyone in a six mile radius” so for somebody who’s been hit with the scourge of being made worse at the game by owning Zhongli, that’s nice.
As a F2P the accidental Yelan C1 is amazing. You can run run, skill hits 60~100k per enemy so that doubles, no more ER issues so her sands and sub stats are fully damage focused, increase the chance of getting charged shot, and burst damage increases (by a bit). I think it gives me slightly more value than HuTao C1 (I got it intentionally).
I got an almost back to back C1 Venti back in 1.4 trying to get more Sucroses and Razors. I was happy until I read what it did. Funny enough, it was helpful during the Windblume minigame with the balloons since I’m terrible at bow aiming. Not like time trials to shoot barrels justify that C1 but I can give it a use. At least it looks pretty when shooting at the void in co-op waiting times. My other accidental one was a C1 Raiden on my secondary, where ironically pulled her only to be superconduct support for Eula. The good thing was that I was able to save up and get her C2 easily as a f2p on the next rerun. My main account’s Raiden is C0 because I don’t want to go through that pain as a welkin-only spender. Now “useless” C1s I’ve gotten on main on purpose are Zhongli and Xiao, and more because double dong and triple nyoom are fun on the map. They’re 2 of my favorite characters so I wanted them to be “complete” so to speak
I think all of these are accurate accept for Kokomi. Kokomi is easily the most underrated character in the game. Even after a year, almost no one understands how she works. Kokomi has 2 use cases: 1. Hydro applicator for freeze Ayaka. 2. Driver for electro-charged and now bloom or hyperbloom. For the first use case, her C1 is useless, but for the second one, it is hard to emphasize just how incredibly broken it is. As a driver, Kokomi is the on field character. She is used because she attacks incredibly fast in her burst, allowing for characters like Raiden, Fischl, Yelan, and others (especially with Nahida coming) to continuously proc reactions. With this build, you want to build her damage during her burst, which the C1 already helps with. If this was all the C1 did, it would already be quite good, but it also does something else: it gives her an extra hit. This gives two things. First, it lets her proc stuff more often, letting characters hit more times. Second and more importantly, this extra hit has its own ICD. This means that Kokomi’s hydro application doubles with it. It is so insanely broken that it might even be better than Hu Tao’s. People need to start looking past the crit rate and look at the rest of her kit.
I got Ayaka’s C1 by accident and it’s absolutely irrelevant, I considered rolling for C2 then but I decided to go for Mistsplitter instead. I’m considering rolling for Yelan’s C1 tho because god her skill feels so nice to use and hits like a truck, compared to Aqua it might be better, but that all depends on if I decide to pour everything into Raiden’s C2 next time…
I got C1 Ganyu on purpose and I can say that she feels so nice to play with it, it isn’t something crazy but it feels nice with the more energy and the res and it’s one of the cons which has relevation since she’s rlly great with C6 but her cons before it aren’t so great (her C4 is also bit nice but c2 is not as good without the C6) but C1 is really nice!!
Wow Ratheil!! That’s something else perusal your article and suddenly getting those “good old times”-goosebums in terms of gaming history. I immediately recognized the Payon Cave_1 Ost from RAGNAROK ONLINE, at minute 11:30. Just something very very old MMORPG gamer could have known…haha. Great article! Keep it up!
wdym by saying kokomi “shouldn’t” be used as an on-field normal attacker? a good chunk of her kit is made to buff her burst normal attacks. they literally made a whole artifact set for it. yeah she’s great as an off-field support, but if anything, that’s the secondary playstyle. also, she’s very good in that type of team, especially in bloom and electro-charged comps
I was trying to pull C1 Hu Tao, and they announced the Eula rerun, which led to me not pulling anymore, until the Eula banner dropped. I got her C1 on my first pull and rejoiced, because it brought me closer to the cracked C2 on my main. In retrospect, Eula C1 is still good, but now that I’m maining my Hu Tao as well, ditching her C1 hurt me way more than losing Eula C1 would have…
I would not call C1 Itto broken by any means, but having played a lot of C0 Itto before getting C1, I can say that it makes a big difference. They talk about C6 Itto being crazy because it’s just one continuous ungabunga smash fest… but honestly, I feel like that after C1. The extra stacks up front along with a little extra stack generation really does make a difference. I would rank his C1 closer to the middle of your chart. If you LOVE playing Itto, then I might even go as far as to recommend you pick up C1.
I got Raiden’s C1 by complete mistake on her original banner while trying to get a copy of Sara… Then I got Raiden’s C2… Then I got Raiden’s C3… Then I finally got a single Sara. This all happened within 120 wishes, I’ve never been so luckily unlucky before or since. The only sad part is that to this day I still don’t have C6 Sara which basically means I don’t have Sara at all, stupid niche supports being C6 locked…
During Kazuha’s last banner I got Kazuha guaranteed and was wishing for Heizou cons on like the second to last day of the banner and hit early pity but I rarely ever won 50/50 so I was expecting Diluc or something but somehow I managed to get c1 Kazuha and it felt like a dream. My only limited 5 star constellation.
Agreed with all of these EXCEPT Kokomi’s. Sure, if you’re running her as a support for freeze teams and using her only for her skill, it’s effectively useless, but that’s really not her only viable role. Kokomi has two general team formats where she excels at on-field attacking, taser and bloom. This can be hyperbloom, burgeon, fridge, and Nilou teams. All of these are extremely viable and actually have very similar damages compared to some top meta team comps, plus the incredibly high healing that Kokomi provides makes it almost impossible to die. In both of these teams, the extra hydro application that is exempt from ICD plus just the raw damage increase makes this a pretty sizable damage buff. I also really like mono hydro Kokomi with yelan, xingqiu and kazuha where she technically is the on-field attacker, but C1’s extra hydro application doesn’t really do that much here. Still an okay damage increase though, but I personally would go for more high value cons first if you’re pulling for meta. Anyways, I personally would rank Kokomi’s C1 a good few spaces higher. I do respect your opinion though, I just think you may want to reconsider if you analyze it a bit more. Love your content always by the way, your tier list/ranking type articles are always a good time even if I don’t end up agreeing with them most of the time.
I got Raiden twice in a single ten pull as my first 5 star so needless to say I was overjoyed and she’s always been one of my mains. I’m happy because of course it was an added bonus and especially because with one of her reruns potentially coming soon I get to try for her C2 and let’s face it that would have me over the moon ^^
As a c1 xiao, it really has helped me a lot. It helps up mu damage and helps regenerate energy a lot more because of how high his charge is, even when I have a second anemo user on the team. If I didn’t have the con, I’d definitely be having a harder time. And one of the points of constellation is to give better gameplay, with damage, different play styles, and to help your character. You can the same for hu tao, if some people didn’t have her c1, her quality of gameplay for a lot would go down drastically, just like my xiao c1
About Hu Tao – that max increase can be called as one only over unga-bunga zero-stamina C0 player, over more experienced players with jump cancelling the difference isn`t that big. Still as someone who has both(on different servers), C1 is surely a good QoL, especially if you don`t have Yelan and burn stamina too much to get near the enemies that often spawn faraway. About Yelan – that cooldown refresh is really juicy and makes her more fun, while with extra hydro particles you can use Aqua or R5 Stringless/Mouun`s Moon with ER at 140% or even lower(in Raiden team or with some else batteries), which makes EoSF to be less useful than 2 HoD+2 NO(or ToM) due to having less boost for ult and giving nothing to her skill/CA damage. About Kazuha – extra charge works on him pretty well when used with R5 Amenoma Kageuchi, making it possible to get much of dps stats/EM on him while having a stable ult aven with near 100% ER. So C1 basically enables to use a hybrid build on him, or using Freedom-Sworn with much less ER. About Raiden and Yae, I have both of them at C1 too – C1 makes it more comfortable, yeah, but still it`s just a part of pulling for their C2(the same goes for Kazuha)/C3. And about Klee – on average the chance is something around 20% and this contellation is quite messy, like Yoimiya`s C6 with similar effect. It can and so often WILL ruin Vape/Melt reactions, it can be called good only in BBQ teams of 3 pyro like Klee/Xiangling/Bennet + support like Kazuha. I had her C0 from 1.
When I was only a newbie in Genshin, like more than 1,5y. ago, I had no idea how banners work. There was a Hu Tao banner, I had no Hu Tao at that moment. So I just randomly rolled and got C2 Hu Tao and Mona… Like four 5*s in maximum 20 wishes, I think it was even less. Two Hu Taos were won in 50/50
The only c1 I got unintentionally is Cyno’s. Tbh I wasn’t even pulling for cyno but got him back to back. Kinda regret that tbh. The craziest pull was getting ganyu’s c2 unintentionally as I literally pulled her 3 times in a 10 pull on her banner last winter. Just now I was pulling for c1 nahida and got her twice in the same 10 pull so that’s kinda an unintentionally c2. No other crazy pulls tho.
From mathematical standpoint, C1 Xiao with 3 dashes generates 50% more elemental particles. In spiral abyss, Xiao players wanna start a rotation with 2 dashes and insta burst, to pre-stack some energy for 2nd rotation. Basically, 3rd dash is equivalent to 50% ER in substats against single enemy floors, since we don’t get energy from killing enemies (energy generated from Zhongli, Albedo and favonius weapons are not taken into account)
As a klee main myself i can confidentally say that klees c1 is her second best constellation for her if ur going main dps klee ( which i am ). because with this constellation you can do -> auto + auto + charged. this is a good and easy combo to learn on her and its especially good because you run out of stamina a lot slower. and even if you miss ur spark you can do -> auto + auto + e. and this will almost always give you a spark so that you can do -> charged + sprint + auto + auto + charged .
I got Ayaka C1 accidently, and I dont hate it, if you use her as on field charged attacker, its actually really good, in a longer fight, you can get +1 use of it, and it hits like a truck. In abyss the flexibility it gives you is insane. Getting the e back faster, so you can ult faster in a content which prefers burst dmg or atleast faster dmg in addition to the +1 use of the skill, that gives 5 particles or maybe not needing to use ult on her or someone else in the team because of time limitations and to save ult for the next floor. Its something you dont notice but is there and its a really powerful C1.
I got a c1 cyno, in the same 10 pull, sadly i couldnt get c2, but im happy it was with diluc so its fine, and while it might not sound like an amazing constellation, that c1 is pure madness, pair it with c2 jean, dmc and a flex slot and im pretty sure if i was epileptic i would had a seizure while playing him
I got hu tao and her by accident(my cousin rolled at that time I had exams) I always thought about what if he didn’t roll and me getting a character that I actually like Eula or ei or itto But after few months I built her and I hated her cus she dies in one hit but getting zhongli in his second rerun fixed everything and she kept giving a lot of damage so I like her now
Hu Tao always scared me when I pull her because first it was near the end of her first banner and she won the 50/50 after accidentally getting 2 Keqing in her previous banner in one ten pull. Losing my guaranteed from Xiaos banner. And even her second banner I lost 50/50 and then bought some welkin passes and got her after 20 wishes. She just loves to scare me
Venti’s C1 was something I got by accident when I rolled a little too much on the very first banner in the game. Funny enough, C1 Venti is actually pretty good for newcomers since it makes Venti a pseudo main DPS character. What you would do was cast burst, then swap to a different element character for swirl, then swap back to Venti and spam triple charged shots at the enemies. Of course, as time went on, dedicated DPS characters completely nullified C1 Venti’s dps capabilities along with Venti’s burst being unable to suck in certain enemies. I can see with enough Venti contellations and if Hoyoverse release a charged shot based artifact set that reduce cooldown on the aimed charge along with a damage boost, some people could use Venti as a dps character again.
Bro this happened to me TWICE. First I was building pity in the Kazuha Rerun (2.8) since I wanted Tighnari (I already had Kazuha), and I had a guaranteed since I lost to Keqing in Yelan’s banner, then boom C1 Kazuha said hi. Second, I got Tighnari, then wanted to C6 Collei and yep, C1 Tighnari also said hi. Both of these happened at under 50 pity BTW
Besides standard characters, I’ve gotten Klee, Eula and Ayaka C1 by accident (Klee was a back to back in the same 10 pull, I was trying to get Rosaria in general for Eula, and Ayaka I was trying to build pity), I did like the nature of Eula’s C1 but I was more happy at the fact that I was closer to C2 for both Klee and Ayaka. While the C1 aren’t exactly stellar, the Potential dps increase from Ayaka C2 and the support Jumpty Dumpty’s C2 defense shred can do can have me finally utilize Klee as a Support/sub dps of sorts.
i got c1 raiden by mistake and honestly her ascension passives sound like a better c1 than her actual c1, it kinda forces you to have another electro in ur team to utilize her c1. i do have built electro characters but my favourite team for her is the national team (xq, xl and bennett) and it doesnt have any electro, i have a kujou sara but without c6 shes not that wow either tbh
I had a fair number of primos going into Itto’s first banner and got him pretty early. My goal was to get Gorou. I didn’t even want Itto. I have fifty primos left, I get Diluc, then whatever 4 star I already had at c6, 4star weapon, another 4star I had at C6, then Itto. I gave up after that. I didn’t get Gorou ’til he came up the second time around.
I got accidental C1 on: Yoimiya, Yelan and now Nilou. Yoimiya I dont feel like the C1 does much but I really like her as a chara and might go C2 one day. Same sentiment with Nilou basically. Yelan tho is a different story and the happiest accident Ive gotten. Thr Dmg increase for double vapes, the energy regen, the cc, the movement for combat and overworld….its honestly imo the best C1 in the game and I would recommend it to everyone.
C1 Xiao is the only 5* con i have and it is great for both overworld travel and use in combat because of the energy regen. Maybe it’s just my artifact substats or what have you, but with C1’s extra energy, i have literally 0 energy issues with Xiao at all which is why i never understood anyone’s ‘Xiao is energy hungry’ statements. Tweaking wild
For C1s, I’ve went for a few and really only accidentally got one outside of Standards. In my earlier days, I actually had went for C1 Tartaglia on his 1.1 banner and successfully got it. Makes one of my favorite units even more comfy. My next C1 I’d went for was Hu Tao when she reran in 2.2, which I’d gotten for the same reason as Tartag. I along the way ended up grabbing a Zhongli con, I forget which banner, cause I’d wanted his C2, and he’s my favorite unit. Fast Forward to 3.0 and I got the C2. The only C1 I ever accidentally got was Shenhe, and it was really because I was going for Yun Jin cons and got two Shenhe in one 10 pull. This is before I’d even had Ayaka since I’d missed 2.0 due to burnout. But now that I have Ayaka it’s probably the con that sees the most value on my entire account
my only c1 five stars are Shenhe, Hu Tao, and Albedo! both Hu Tao and Albedo’s were completely unintentional early 50/50 wins while i was trying to snipe 4 stars on their banners at the time while Shenhe has been the only 5 star i’ve actively gone after more cons for… was aiming for her c2 but decided to stop when i found out Yae and Raiden were coming next patch lol fun fact i also have a c5 Itto as a result of trying to get ONE copy of Kuki Shinobu back during 2.7 LMAO
I just wish venti’s c1 was built into his kit by default. both zhongli and raiden have unique charged attack animations (raiden having two unique ones, 1 with and 1 without her burst). venti just has the standard archer charged shot, like gorou. maybe you can make a case for power balancing but people don’t typically use zhongli’s charged attack or raiden’s non-burst charged attack anyways. I guess this is just another instance of venti’s kit being designed early on without the benefit of hindsight that newer characters have, like with his wind current ability being a passive rather than just being built into his skill.
I pulled Hu Tao and got her C1 only 10 pulls later while wishing for one Thoma, didn’t got him but I didn’t care afterwards cause I got the jackpot. Then pulled for staff of homa and got it in 30 pulls. Next time I will go for her C2. Other characters I got C1 are Ganyu and Kazuha but that was planned and Kazuhas was definitely worth it.
(F2P) I got C1 Hu Tao by accident…I had gotten Childe in the previous banner and and figured it was safe enough to summon on Hu Tao’s banner for Thoma. Well first tenfold and BOOM Hu Tao! I was really excited to get 2 limited 5-stars back to back but I still didn’t have Thoma so I summoned again. 3 tenfolds later BOOM SECOND HU TAO, dragon’s bane, and Thoma too! My luck in summoning has not recovered since.
I have a C0 Hu Tao since her release in 1.3. I have learnt how to do jump cancels with her to save on stamina. For the longest time I thought that her C1 was extremely strong. In the version 2.3, we had an event, the labyrinth warriors event with Childe and Xinyan event story. In that evet, you could get random buffs, one of which was to randomly increase 2 character’s constellation by 1. So in this event, I got to try out Hu Tao with her C1. At first I thought, it was pretty good. With jump cancelling, she basically uses zero stamina. But the more I used it in that event, I just thought it was worthless. I mean why bother getting her C1 when you can just jump cancel. It didn’t allow me to add a single extra charge attack during her elemental skill duration and since in most cases, she is in close range of her enemies, I didn’t have to sprint much to get to enemies to start my next rotation. But I do play on a controller. So maybe that has something to do with me seeing this con as worthless. Doing jump cancels with a controller is extremely easy for me, even when I had just pulled her. If it is harder to do on a pc, it might be somewhat worth it. The only worth I see for this constellation, is that after a fight in the open world, you will have more stamina to continue exploration. But for abyss, this constellation is one of the worst constellation in the game.
ended up with Yoimyia while building pitty after the kazuha rerun, and tried getting Ayato as I was building pitty on his banner for when i pull Yelan, but decided to stop spending money on it as now I have 1 10 pull to do till I am able to get anyone, so I am going for Yelan as she is just damn hot, also I could use a water dps or sub dps that I will actually use!!
For event characters, I have C1: Venti, Zhongli, Eula, HuTao, Ganyu and Shenhe. I deliberately went after C1 Eula and HuTao. Rest I got by accident. The only one I regret is HuTao’s funnily enough, because I had to go to 80 both times and I got it out of peer pressure. After playing her a while I found out thay I did not like her Charged Attack playstyle on the PS4 (since getting a PS5 I enjoy using her a lot more, but I also have Yoimiya now, whose playstyle I prefer) Shenhe’s is my overall favorite, with Eula second (the effect is really nice and she helped me get my first few 36* clear and is overall my favorite character) I got Venti’s C1 in the first banner because I was putting every primo I got on that banner in hopes for all the 4* and not really understanding the “meta” But I don’t regret because it was useful early on (even currently with minigames and puzzles) and I got a lot of the 4* I desired when going for it. For context: I’m at 3200 total pulls (462 in weapon banner) and I’m yet to get a double 5* Multi. Closest I’ve gotten is 18pity on character and 15pity on Weapon. All standard banner 5* have been after soft pity.
4:59 To be honest I never learned to use her C1 and still use jump-cancels. Dash-cancels work, but she often end up behind the enemy and her next charged attack flies off AWAY from that enemy which is no damage at all and now I have to get back to that guy. Of course I can rotate camera like crazy every time this happen… but why bother when she deals more than enough damage with jump-cancels? It’s only good against freaking massive enemies through which she can’t dash and that’s only a couple of bosses from my experience. And not even all bosses. There’s plenty of bosses you CAN dash through and fly off away. So, I’d call it above mediocre. It’s a huge damage increase when could be comfortably utilized, but in other cases it’s awful to use vs. straight damage loss. The only good part about having it I found is having stamina to spare to avoid being hit… and that became semi-useless after I got Zhongli. Yelan, though, really worth it. One of the best C1 on 5* characters from my experience.
I’ve never gotten a limited 5 star c1 by accident. I’ve only ever gotten Xiao’s c1 because I like its overworld use. That said, I did ALMOST get Kazuha’s c1 nearly back to back After getting him on his first banner, I wanted Ayaka. But since 2.0 was still a few weeks away, I decided to try building some pity. I’d never done it before, so I thought “why not?” A few seconds later that star turns gold and the first thing out of it is Diluc. So instead of building pity, I guaranteed Ayaka, which I still think is a win
The only C1 I got was an accidential one… Which was also my second ever 5*… WHICH WAS ALSO A SECOND RAIDEN RIGHT AFTER THE FIRST ONE… And now I’m looking at all those Raiden reruns trying to keep myself away from it to save for new characters… And this almost happened to me again in 3.1 (I swear, it’s the x.1 curse), but it was Tighnari and next pull Cyno, so I’ll consider that a major win (even tho I didn’t want to pull for Tighnari at all and I forgot he will be now a standart character)
I got Ganyu, Tighnari and Albedo C1s by accident. Tighnari’sis definitely the best since it lets me run a crit damage circlet increasing his DPS a lot. Ganyu’s is the least useful, her strongest hit is always her first one for unrelated reasons (rotations, enemies moving, buff uptimes). Albedo’s is in the middle, I use his burst a lot with dendro now so it’s useful to have it up.
I got both Ganyu and Tartaglia C1 in in less than 10 pity when I was just trying to get 4 star constellations for other characters on their banner. I’m definitely not sad about it considering the circumstances, but I don’t particularly care about either C1. I am happy to have any Ganyu constellation though because I would like to eventually get her to C6.
I got C1 kazuha while trying to pull razor (never got him, had to buy him off the black market like a year later) and it’s made my life so much better, even went for c2 on his second banner (looking back that wasn’t a very smart move considering I don’t need extra em as I main physical xinyan and xiao besides him)
I would say C1 Xiao’s c1 is pretty good. I’m not sure how many people uses him in c1 and I don’t have C1 myself but I still have played it on someone elses acc but basically like normal you would do like 2 E -> Q, then after the burst is done you can use the third E after collecting particles, swap off use teammates and repeat cycle. definitely fixes a bit of energy issue for any Xiao Mains who has a extremely good crit ratio but didn’t get lucky with the ER. Tho it definitely wouldn’t go anywhere near the right side, I would say maybe middle is about how good it is for Xiao.
i’m one-and-a-half-year Xiao main, i can explain. Xiao’s C1 add that extra E but it’s not very good for Xiao. If you main Xiao, you’d know that you always use his E 2 times before Q because it won’t generate particle during his Q. Use E 2 times and then Q, the particle will reach you right at the times you finish the Q animation, perfect timing for recharging Q. That’s why you it’s not good to have a 3rd E. And also E damage is kinda trash, a crit charged high plunge will deal even more damage than 2 E. Sorry for the broken English
Xiao C1 allows you to need les ER and run bennett with geo boys as a team for a solid dps increase, it also allows your A4 to get some solid damage bonus which ends up being somewhere around an extra 50k damage before his burst goes off. Overall its a utility constellation that gives the plunge master team flexibility he wouldnt have had before. Definitely not broken but not on the lower end of bad.
my only C1’s are hu tao (on purpose) and Itto (accidentally got him in each banner he’s in) Itto C1 changed my rotation and made it feel better so can’t say i’m disappointed, at this point I might as well keep going with the cons each time he returns. definitely getting Yelan C1 just for making exploring faster by herself. resisting all the urge to go all out for Nilou (all out for me is C2) with nahida waiting, this vid helps with resisting the urge since her C1 looked pretty good to me but maybe not as much
The C1s I have are Eula (2 in one 10-pull), Ganyu (pulled for C6), Kazuha (pulled for C2), and Hu Tao (got lucky on a low AR alt) No opinion on C1 Eula, never use her. C1 Ganyu I actually like quite a lot. Damage boost is nice, and the energy regen via charged shots is convenient as well, especially in co-op. C1 Kazuha I don’t always use, but I like it most in overword to immediately get his burst back. C1 Hu Tao is C1 Hu Tao.
Zhongli C1 is the only one I got accidentally when I was building pity and just generally being impatient and honestly I feel pretty neutral about it. Him having 2 pillars out feels like a base part of his kit to me so I don’t think if it as something extra and usually I only have one out at a time anyway
TLDR: I accidentally got C1 Venti while trying to get Kuki and Sayu cons. Also, skip the large paragraph if you want to see my idea for a new C1 for him. The only non-standard banner 5* C1 I have is Venti, and I really only got it by accident. I wanted Sayu cons and Kuki cons, and I wanted only one Candace since she was new at the time. Instead, I got C6 Candace, C2 Kuki, C3 Sayu, and C1 Venti. That day, I couldn’t tell if I was super lucky or super unlucky. Candace’s C6 is awesome, don’t get me wrong, but between that and more Kuki and Sayu cons? But this is about Venti. Venti’s C1 is, of course, mediocre. After getting it I thought about turning him into a Charged Attack DPS with 4-piece Wanderer’s, but that would greatly hinder his potential. There are some situations where I’m up against multiple opponents, and my skill is on CD and my burst isn’t ready, where I’ll use his Charged Attacks to hit more than one opponent at a time. Or if I’m up against one opponent with a lot of HP, I’ll get really close to them and hit them with all 3 arrows. But overall, yeah, his C1 could be so much better. And I actually have an idea for it. Upon casting the held version of his Skill, Venti gains an Anemo Infusion when he uses his Plunging Attack. This Plunging Attack deals 60% of his Skill’s damage, and also creates a miniature version of his Burst that pulls opponents to its location.
I got C1 Zhongli by accident like wayyy back in his 2nd rerun, was trying to get Xinqui cons. Guess what, I did like 100 pulls on that banner, got 3 5 stars(lost 5050, got Mona, then Zhongli guarenteed and then another Zhongli by accident at like 25-30 pity) and literally just 1 Xinqui. Also I am in the same boat as you, Zhongli C1 can either be amazing or just annoying at times.
I got 3 C1s on accident, all of them were in the same 10-pull as my C0 and all on the original banner run. Can’t exactly complain about that… Albedo, Ganyu, Nilou. None of them I’d go out of my way to get, but Ganyu’s is nice extra damage and Nilou’s is nice if only to have a good visual queue as to when her E refreshes. Guess I also have Mona and Qiqi if those really even count. Been playing since day 1, still no Diluc (not complaining about that lol)
I’ve got a few unintentional c1.. childe being the first. didn’t even want him c0, wanted heizou, should’ve wished on miko, was early game and thought “it’ll be better to get hydro than electro bc I have a lot of electro but not hydro” haha. ha. I no longer use most of the electro chrs from back then either so.. also should’ve just done a 10 pull for nahida before the banner change honestly 🙁 I knew I’d get a 5* I was on 76 pity but I was not being smart. I also forgot to switch which I’m bummed for. got his c1 at like 17 pity then zhongli is my most recent.. again, I wanted freminet. he at least got levelled to 80 and not stuck at 20, and I might go for c2 if there’s none more important for his next run but. well. it was my first 50/50 win since childe and at about 20 and 8 pity.. then there’s kazuha!! extremely happy about that one. he’s my boy. I want to c6 him one day so it was a great surprise. it also came with c1 sucrose, c6 heizou and c1 jean (I liked to call it the anemo pulls) I originally got him around 80 pity guarantee (from being 69 pity beforehand) and just kept pulling for the duration of the banner coz I wanted c6 heizou. it was the day the shop refreshed, I had a 30 minute breakdown on the floor beforehand. then I got on, got the wishes, and got jean at about 63 pity.. and then heizou, and kazuha at 4 pity, then another heizou, then a sucrose on standard, and another heizou 😀 that’s one way to cheer up after a panic attack oh! I almost forgot about ganyu. though she’s on my alt account so meh got her around 36 pity and her c1 at 12?
Actually, Xiao’s C1 is superior for me, for those reasons: 1) Because of a bug, that Xiao can regenerate stamina using his E while airborn, Xiao C1 with 3 Es can fly MUCH longer. 2) Xiao can just oblitirate groups of small enemies with fast using of all 3 Es. Total E damage is 150% more for C1, than C0, and also you can attack more largery-distributed group, since you’re also moving with E during this attack. 3) Anemo infusion from 3 of his E can nearly destroy variety of abyss mages’ shields. Especially, if there is 2 different abyss mages and you can swirl from one to another, both destroy in instant.
I got Zhongli and his C1 in a ten-pull. I’d just gotten ganyu so I was doing some pulls on Zhongli’s banner. At around 20 pity I won the 50-50 and got Zhongli and I was excited to just have a guarantee now for the next character but then I got his c1. I wasn’t that hyped about it. The other C1 I have is Qiqi…
I was pulling on Zhongli’s first rerun way back in 1.5, actually wasn’t trying to get him at all I was just going for Yanfei, but I did end up getting Zhongli. Three times. And then in 2.5 I was pulling on Yae’s banner, again I didn’t care about her I just still had never gotten Thoma and she showed up twice
I hope you all receive the banner character you’re pulling for! My only intentional C1 is Hu Tao, for the QOL. I believe I have Qiqi, Mona, and Keqing with a few constellations, maybe ~C2? Raiden C2 is the dream. If I could get a double pull of her, I might cry, haha! For some context, I’ve played the game pretty much since launch; I got AR60 last week! I’ve never been lucky enough to receive multiple of a banner character in one ten pull, and my only ‘early’ 5 star was Miko at ~40. I’m a bp/wm player so I don’t have a ton of chances to see 5 star characters anyway. 😂 I have gotten 2 banner + standard character double 5 star 10 pulls, with my last one being Xiao+Jean on his first run. I’ve been kind of focused on collecting characters, but now I’m moving towards collecting only characters/cons that will benefit my teams.
i was building pity for Geo Daddy and on 35th pul i got Itto, i was sad that i lost the Geo Daddy, but this Itto is REAL BEAST, does more dmg than geo daddy, does not require team comp like eula + raiden ( which i have both and also got eula by accident and raiden on hopes of not getting her cause everthing i burned on Childe banner to quit gamr and using stardust only wish), he literally deals more dmg alone!!!!1
my accidental c1s were on kokomi and yoimiya, which as you said are just not that good. still, i like the characters, so i don’t mind having the cons. hu tao’s c1 is the first and last thing i bought genesis crystals on. i can no longer imagine using her at c0, c1 is just such a huge qol improvement, but the remorse of buying gen crystals still haunts me some days
I accidentally got Childe’s C1 because I accidentally pulled on the wrong banner due to my excitement. I don’t really know how to feel about that. I like him but at that time I already benched him. The other one would be Yoimiya. I got her C1 because of an early back to back on the day she was released. It’s almost completely useless so I’m kind of disappointed. It made me feel like I wasted my primogems.
I got hu tao and her c1 by accident(my cousin rolled at that time I had exams) I always thought about what if he didn’t roll and me getting a character that I actually instead like Eula or ei or itto But after few months I built her and I hated her cus she dies in one hit but getting zhongli in his second rerun fixed everything and she kept giving a lot of damage so I like her now
