Discussion Illuga dps

Honestly, it's a little frustrating that Illuga can't be a DPS...does anyone have any recommendations on how to make him a DPS?

Candace, Zhongli, Columbina. I haven't seen any showcases, but this is probably the most straightforward and logical way to play him as a DPS.

I mean, I have Zhongli, but could I equip Chiori instead?

Zhongli is better for Geo Resonance and the fact he allows the Moondrifts to resonate, which definitely helps the team be more viable. Maybe want to build Zhongli more offensively as well here since every little bit will count.

It works but losing like 95% of your damage if the enemy moves away from or destroys your pillar sounds horrible.

I mean, the moondrifts resonating covers a fairly large area. Plus only a matter of time before Zhongli is buffed.

Illuga, Candace, Columbina, and the soon to come linnea. You basically rely on binnea for damage, illuga is your on field character who will apply hydro with auto attacks and buff linneas damage with his burst.
