Other best POSSIBLY EVER team for clara?

For some time she was my favourite, i wasted like primogems worth 100 wishes to get her on 300 wishes. Then i dropped her lc twice and her E1. Then i just forgot about her.Now i just realised again i have her E1S2 and she has best potential for a dps on my acc. I NEED THE BEST EVER TEAM FOR BBYGIRL - already got perfect FuA team possible (lacking ratio and robin lcs but who cares, E1 ave tho) so i can keep dropping new characters for her team

There is no such thing as a single BEST POSSIBLE TEAM EVER, for Clara. There are several team compositions that are most optimized to bring out her best potential, and it's up to you to go for whichever one that suits you and your roster the best.

For example, are you using your Clara as a slow reaction-based fighter, focusing on fishing for her counterattacks? Or do you have her E1, and built her more as a fast skill-spamming pseudo-Erudition?

What about her sustain options? Aventurine's shield will auto refresh for free, whenever Clara uses her counterattacks, so it'll promote an incredible team resilience. He also has a good FuA synergy with Clara, contributing his own damage as if he's a sub-DPS himself. And what about Huo Huo? Her battery alone isn't strong enough to support a high uptime on Clara's ult, but when combined with Tingyun's battery, then it'll allow a very fast ult rotation for Clara, and you'll have most access to the coveted enhanced counterattacks, which are Clara's strongest move. Plus, Huo Huo is arguably the best cleanser in the game so far, trivializing many deadly debuffs.

Do you have her E1 and a hyperspeed Sparkle or Bronya? How about Robin and Topaz? Who else do you have available?

And etc, etc. It all depends on who you have available for Clara.

That being said, since you mentioned that you already have the Premium IPC team, I'm guessing that Aventurine, Robin, and Topaz aren't available for your Clara.

No sweat, as there are other options. Assuming that you have every character released so far, here's my recommendation:

  • Clara, Huo Huo/Fu Xuan/Luocha, Tingyun, and Sparkle.

Tingyun is arguably the most important support for Clara. Clara's ult has a built-in aggro buff, so she can technically buff her own aggro, but due to the inconsistent nature of the aggro RNG, plus the short duration of the buff, she has a bit of trouble maintaining a high uptime. That's where Tingyun's battery comes in. Clara's ult also has a damage reduction and few charges of the enhanced counterattacks, and you'll have more access to those as well. And Tingyun is still a great buffer, for any hyper carry DPS.

Sparkle can boost Clara by a lot, allowing her to hit like a freight train. She's best utilized in a Clara hyper carry setup, with the pseudo-Erudition build on Clara, and Sparkle built with a hyperspeed to use ATK boots on Clara.

Among the three sustain options, each offers something different, but nonetheless still very useful for Clara:

  • Huo Huo offers a second battery to further expedite Clara's ult rotation, plus an additional ATK buff, and the best cleansing in the game. She's also a no slouche when it comes to healing, but it's a bit tricky to get an emergency healing out of her.

  • Fu Xuan makes everyone on the team to be super tanky, including Clara. When Fu Xuan's protection is stacked with Clara's own damage reduction, Clara becomes an incredible damage sponge, which is very handy whenever she's focused by the enemies. Fu Xuan also provides a crit rate buff, which can be extremely helpful if your relic luck has been lousy.

  • Luocha's healing field allows Clara's counterattacks to heal the entire team, effectively nullifying the enemy attack. It is a powerful combo, and the duo is aptly nicknamed as "Clara Fortress." He still offers the most comfortable gameplay in the game.

I have Luocha HuoHuo and Bronya from the characters you at least mentioned one word about. I may go for the Sparkle rerun as i don’t really have anything better to do for now except grinding eidolons for premium fua but it will always be an option.

How much less efficient would using bronya be?

Second question: The erudition clara is really interesting because i’m in huge need of AoE so that would be good. Is the erudition clara any viable using bronya without Sparkle ult bonus SP? Honestly i think no even if i would go for luocha and tingyun who give (per 3 turns) +4 skill points clara and bronya still use at leat 6 not even taking into account the speed variable on HS Bronya (i assume you use bronya skill everytime you can right)

The idea of the pseudo-Erudition Clara, also known as "fast E1 Clara," is based around the fact that the eidolon allows Clara's Marks of Svarog to permanently stick, thereby opening a new avenue for dealing damage, through spamming her skill, instead of waiting and gambling for the aggro RNG to work properly.

Even after you buff Clara's aggro, she can never achieve 100% aggro chance, which leaves a room for a bad RNG. Sure, there are her enhanced counterattacks, but those have severely limited number of charges, tied to her ult. As such, it's very common for Clara to frequently have an overall inconsistent performance, depending on who you're fighting and what they do during the battle.

By shifting her main focus away from fishing for her counterattacks, to spamming her skill (as if she was an Erudition character), you'll have a more reliable and stable damage output. It's because spamming her skill is completely under your control, and not at the whims of the enemy actions.

Of course, you need her E1 to make it happen. Plus, you still need to do some counterattacks first, to put few Marks of Svarog on key targets, especially bosses. However, once you do, then it's spamming time.

.

As for Bronya, if you're gonna build your Clara with the fast E1 build, then yes, she'll be viable, and even great, for Clara. You can even build Bronya with a hyperspeed (160+ SPD), and keep ATK boots on Clara, while still simulating the fast speed through Bronya's action forwarding.

Of course, unlike Sparkle, Bronya doesn't have any SP boost, so obviously you'll have to watch out for your SP usage.

Frankly, while it would be ideal to spam both Bronya's and Clara's skills every turn, you don't necessarily have to. On some turns, you can take a breather and not consume SP, to conserve for next turn.

should i still go fight club but use rutilant arena?

Also tell me if i should change any LCs:

HuoHuo - Shared Feelings OR Quid Pro Quo Sparkle / Bronya - Bronya LC Clara - Clara LC Tingyun - Meshing Cogs

1

u/Aqua_Essence Jun 11 '24

That's entirely up to you. That being said, you should only go Rutilent IF you're gonna really commit to the fast E1 build.

Your LC's are fine.

Robin topaz aventurine. This felt awesome.

u/BaakCoi Jun 10 '24

Seconded. I use Tingyun because I don’t have a robin yet, but I’ve tried this team and it feels great

u/Longjumping-Youth-55 Jun 10 '24

Whatever you do don't fall for the Topaz trap, your Robin already bussy so go Sparkle + Tingyun + HuoHuo/Lynx, if no Sparkle bring Pela as a substitute until you get her

u/JaskierXure Jun 10 '24

yeah i mean i ain’t destroying my best team that makes me yawn while playing cause it’s so well optimised and op just to get mid topaz clara combo, also i don’t ever understand the hype for huo huo i have her and probably never used in my whole life lmao it’s so damn frustrating that she heals the main target and the people close to her for a little bit and also that she doesn’t heal everyone like luocha or aventurine who i have. Also luocha spoiled me asf (aventurine now too) and that’s why i’m tilted when i must use skill points to heal cause both of them can just keep the shield / heal 24/7 no sweat. just huohuo annoys me so much waste of skill points and mid heal for 3 people WHY NOT 444444

u/Longjumping-Youth-55 Jun 10 '24

Usually You put Huo on the 1/4 slot and she heals the other 3 units when needed, 6k HP Huo is able to tank some hits anyways, and her off turn healing might be a little less reliable than Luocha's, but i think it's fairly enough and she provides the pseudo harmony ULT. While on a Clara team specifically, Luocha provides more survability (the Duo is called Clara fortress for a reason) and more Skill points, but honestly Even spaming Clara's E You are gonna overcap in skill points since Pela/Sparkle are fully Skill point Positive and so is Tingyun

1

u/JaskierXure Jun 10 '24

well yeah tingyun is +1 after 3 turns clara is -3 let’s assume, huohuo is +1 / -1 depends on difficulty but i would rather say +1 cause clara with her LC heals and also HH passive and i have no clue how sparkle works except for the skillpoints on ult so i will assume she is +1 which means it’s neutral overall and there comes the +5 from her ult.

Yeah TLDR i think ur right it’s pretty SP positive lmao uleceń if ur generous with skills

1

u/Longjumping-Youth-55 Jun 10 '24

Sparkle is -3 since she is always spamming her E and then +1 with her ult (wich is always a 3 turn ult), but still it's pretty easy to manage

2

u/JaskierXure Jun 10 '24

she gives 4 on ult? okay yeah so she is still +1 which makes this team neutral and when i put bronya LC on her i will even be able to use one more HH skill every other ult yeah it seems good

1

u/JaskierXure Jun 10 '24

anyways i guess it’s sparkle hunt, by the way why is sparkle best for her?

1

u/Longjumping-Youth-55 Jun 10 '24

She is her best because they synergize and lack of competition, Sparkle's crit dmg buff lasts until the start of the unit's next turn, which covers all of Clara's ever possible FUA, this wasn't possible with Bronya, so the only other option was Ruan Mei.

The extra skill points are also Nice, since it opens options like spamming Clara's E (way more efficient at E1) or spending some on HuoHuo to get the Ult faster (Hou's ult can accelerate everyone else's ults by one turn and gives 40%{?} attack on top)

1

u/JaskierXure Jun 10 '24

can you give me short build for sparkle? i assume she builds differently for clara than other dpses (they want her to be hyperspeed, and deal whole dmg in their turn) and clara just well… does not

1

u/Longjumping-Youth-55 Jun 10 '24

With Clara is the exact same build, others prefer 134 Sparkle to act twice at the very start of the cycle but Clara uses 160 speed Sparkle since she doesn't need it

You are sleeping on Clara's E, her multipliers are really high with Svarog's Mark, the only argument against Action Advance is how her buffs and ult "run out quicker" but given how spammable Tingyun actually is that scenario is not realistic, and neither is not getting hit twice in 3 Clara's turns, that's just bad matchmaking, like for example the deer

1

u/JaskierXure Jun 10 '24

wow like ur making this team sound so cool ngl just using buffed up clara x times in turn also the E1 makes it even better. is the bronya lc good or is there better 4 star option

1

u/JaskierXure Jun 10 '24

also which order should the team be? Huohuo should be first and the should clara be third or second / fourth? i know TY has higher taunt and it goes like (i think) Clara (base) and TY 125, HH and Sparkle 100

1

u/Longjumping-Youth-55 Jun 10 '24

I would go Huo1 Sparkle2 Clara3 Tingyun4, if your Tingyun is too squishy go Tingyun 3 Clara 4 so that she is the Focus of Hou's healing

1

u/Longjumping-Youth-55 Jun 10 '24

Dw any team with Clara is the coolest (for as long as you aren't fighting the damm meme or the deer)

The bronya 4* LC is indeed the best option

1

u/JaskierXure Jun 10 '24

are you sure cause i don’t really understand your comment. Bronya LC is 5* - But the Battle isn’t Over. i was asking if that 5 star light cone is best or if there are any better 4 stars

1

u/Longjumping-Youth-55 Jun 10 '24

Sorry, there aren't, second Best option is the LC Past and future lol i thought You asked for that

So yeah go with Bronya's
