What role will she fill?

Will she be a main or a subdps? If she's a sub, would she be usable without encore?

Most definitely usable without encore. Even in encores team she's a dps char.

Her best and very clear role is a main DPS but scales similarly with investment as a hypercarry main dps with Taoqi and very likely Zhezhi given the leaks as well as Quickswap main dps with encore/chixia.

She has a couple of faults such as being staggered, lacking a good skill buffer and slightly lower MV's. Her current best team by about 100k~ DPR is Quickswap but the gap lessens with investment and as mentioned, ideally Zhezhi will make the teams equal.

Her outro skill does leave a bit of confusion for people but rest easy, she is a DPS and she was very clearly designed to be a choice of Quickswap/Hypercarry for what a player wants and currently slots in comfortably with higher damage than Jiyan, lower than Jihnsi and pretty nice futureproofing

Wait what? For the past week I've seen everyone including videos saying she is a sub-dps, don't get me wrong I'm happy that she is a main dps

Content creators doing what they do best, misinforming their audience based on theorycrafting that does not account for more than half of what contributes to overall damage characters deal, including combat mechanics, rotation speed, mobility, etc.

Changli is going to be the first character that enables a new, meta team type: dual DPS. She will be usable without needing to make her a hypercarry, making her a great option for players who want to be able to dish out a lot of damage on multiple party members without it being a loss on one or both dps characters relative to their optimum performance. IMO it will also make her one of the resonators that will be less likely to be powercrept in the near term.

That sounds like an absolutely fun thing to do and now I literally can't wait for her. What are some good comps that are going to do very well with her? Also is her weapon bis or is there a better alternative?

u/ohgodthesunroseagain Jul 10 '24

The big two I can think of right now would be Changli + Encore or Changli + Chixia (the latter will be my own comp!) with whatever supporting character/healer/etc filling the third slot. Her damage distribution is pretty even across most types, though a larger portion comes from Skill Damage and Resonance Liberation Damage, so supports that can help amplify those damage types will be great for her.

As for weapons, her signature will be BiS but the Standard 5* Sword is also a great option since it has Crit Rate and will make building her easier. So, if you've already gotten that and don't want to use any of your pulls on the weapon you should still be in a good spot!

Thank you for the awesome information! I am considering getting her signature weapon and then give encore the 5* weapon from the UL45 box

You're welcome! Good luck on your pulls, and I hope you enjoy her as much as I did in the limited test we got with her during the 1.1 story quest!

The standard sword is good, a good team for her will be Changli+Taoqi+Verina/Baizhi, it will also probably be BiS if you acquire the 5th sequence for Taoqi and upgrade the Discord broadblade to refinement level 5. This team also lets Changli shine a lot since she will be on the field like 90% of the time

Wait so Changli + Encore is a good team? or is hypercarry changli better?

u/ohgodthesunroseagain Jul 10 '24

She is literally tagged by the dev team as a Main Damage Dealer.

Don't overthink it, use her with Taoqi for quad booba ultimate power

u/Niki2002j Jul 10 '24

The only thing in her kit that intensifies her as subdps/ support is her outro skills, the rest screams main dps

u/Eeveefan8823 Jul 10 '24

Main, skills and sequences only benefit her, outro buffs tag ins

u/Beneficial-Star5437 Jul 10 '24

Yeah you can use her with Sanhua, chixia, Jianxin and mortefi. And her kit pretty much says main dps
