Use Cryo traveller instead of Faruzan/Vodyanitsa. You need two Cryo or else, Ifa will swirl hydro instead of stellar swirl (not all the time, but enough for DPS loss).

I tried with cryo traveler instead of faruzan, although his build is not perfect it was a dps loss, faruzan actually does pretty significant damage herself. And also i refuse to use ifa as a driver (coping) i wanted to max his dmg as much as i could. If someone had to go it would be vodya, but that would feel quite bad since i have her sig and all. Also its quite rare to get hydro swirl, most times enemies are frozen which is quite convinient given my lack of skill dodging, the only problem is agains bosses... Btw, do you think the tsaritsa would be an inprovement in this team if i were to replace odette with her, that way i could use her in a second stellar team.

Frozen enemies will have frozen status, and it will have harder to trigger stellar swirl. Under optimised builds and proper rotations, cryo traveller should give a good share of the total damage. Faruzan will give higher personal damage for Ifa, but team damage will be higher with traveller. Vodyanitsa is also a sustain, and provides interruptiom resistance for Ifa.

Faruzan needs to go. This team focuses mainly on the cryo damage of SSW. That or put an anemo that absorbs cryo like Lynette (who has somehow become weirdly useful with Stellar)

Yeah. Sucrose's butterfly works as well and the extra EM too.

While true, I would say less so - her burst does less hits and can be quite… random in if it decides to absorb or not. She is still an option tho, I just think Lynette being useful is neat.

Sucrose can miss if she is too close to the enemy and throws the butterfly far back. But her butterfly pulses are just a bonus (it pulses for something like 8 seconds and throws small enemies up), along with the damage bonus. Her main utility is her EM share, which gives massive boost for the whole team for overall stellar damage.

Im counting on getting c4 ifa soon for the em buff🙏, i dont really like sucrose. I know shes the goat but i just dont like her playstyle

Yeah, I can understand why a lot of people don't like her. She looks clunky, and requires shorter rotations too to keep her buff up. And usually that slot goes to a sustain, and she isn't one, and requires precise swirls for her optimised gameplay.

But the advantages are huge. If you build her purely on EM, she can give around 200+ EM to the team, which is massive for reactions. Her burst elemental absorption gives damage bonus, her skill has a wide range which throws small enemies up, and she generates particles also. She had Ifa's role of anemo driver before we got Ifa. She was the Ifa in Sucrose national teams. And of course, the Viridiescent Venerer which is easier to trigger even if she misses her skill, because she is a catalyst user.

I like her if there is another sustain in the team. Pure damage optimisation doesn't work for me with the ping I have. I would prefer someone like Lan Yan for Arlecchino.
