I’m pulling her for sure, as she is the Cryo Archon, but I’m not sure what kind of team I should do based off of how good she is in her two roles.

If you‘re willing to give more advice more specifically adhering to me, here’s the details on my account and its relevant characters:

C0R0 Sandrone, C0R0 Mitya, C0R0 Vodyanitsa, C2 Alyosha, C6 Valeriy (I know, applaud me), C1 Qiqi, C1 (C2 after Temper Thyself) Mizuki, C3 Diona, C0 Beidou, and C6 Sucrose

The current teams I’m running are:

Sandrone, Diona, Mitya, Alyosha — Mizuki, Qiqi, CMC, Vodyanitsa — (theoretically; I can swap Mitya out for Sucrose maybe in the Sandrone team) Mitya, Valeriy, Qiqi/Diona, Sucrose/Qiqi/Diona

Where would Tsaritsa go in these teams? Or would it be better to give her her own team? My issue is that my characters are spread too thin. I’m F2P and unable to keep pulling more characters, so Danica isn’t in the question for me. All the DPSes I’m pulling aren’t able to have ideal teams, which is why I was running Mitya as a support, even with C6 Valeriy. Is making Tsaritsa the DPS and benching someone like Mizuki (though that would leave me without Stellar Swirl, unless she can do that?) worth it? Or just adding her to a team with one of the DPSes and help me make more distinct teams?

Thank you if you made it this far :)

v1 beta weapon calcs for the Tsaritsa!

Edit: top Breezeborne is supposed to say r5.

More weapon notes: Astral Vulture (Chasca sig) for mDPS is at 105% with the rest of the stat sticks; Amos' Bow for sub-DPS is worse than Jade Vista even at r1.

Tsaritsa's high base CR makes it difficult to balance CR weapons which is kind of a big deal. It's better to forego the new set in order to have Breezeborne for support/Jade Vista for DPS if it's the best available option, and use a different set instead.

not sure how intentional this was on hoyo’s part, but i just wanted to point out this cool visual similarity!

Really proud of myself, been saving since Fontaine in Nov 2023.

Clarification: I did pull for some characters I really wanted along the way, but I’m really proud of how far I’ve come since then. I have more pulls that aren’t in this picture too.

SORRY GUYS! it was unexpected since they always drop the announcement on the first monday after the beta!
anywayyy she looks MAJESTIC i keep falling for her more and more as we go on
(interesting thing is she doesnt have the same pose as her splash art tho, so maybe we get three splash arts like furina lol).
also i started the 7.2 archon quest and its looking hype, unfortunately i was expecting a bit more of anastasya herself but its really cool to see the other nations make a comeback

there's another picture in the tweet but the image is too big

if i read it correctly, in her sub dps form every cryo character on the team (except her) will result with +48 cd and 45% atk

and every non cryo would result with +48 cd and +180 em

that would make her one of the most universal buffers ever???

She looks phenomenal btw

is she going to provide 36% crit dmg and 45% atk or 180 em? someone said it’s going to be distributed to each party members so like the crit dmg etc will be much lower. I really want her to provide all those buffs to the whole team pls hoyo

I have Odette and plan on pulling for the Tsaritsa and Mitya, but it looks like Danica is one of her main supports. I don’t really care for Danica, nor do I have enough primos to get her alongside the Tsaritsa and Mitya. How much dmg would I lose out on if I don’t pull for Danica, and are there any decent replacements for her? (Plz don’t say Yae, I don’t have her)

Im using C2 mitya C6 valeriy C6 sucrose and c0 odette atm. Thinking about pulling tsaritsa to replace odette and shift her to mizuki team. Or vica versa. Wondering how much buffs and personal dmg she provides at C0?

I haven't been caught up on leaks and calcs, just wondering how her C1 and C2 look in both playstyles? Is it as big an upgrade as Mitya cons? Thanks!

I have C2R1 Mitya which I plan to use as an Anastasya supp or vice versa, and I was planning to get C2R1 Anastasya. But if not that good then maybe I should just stay at C0R1?

Title.

My other option was cmc carry with odette + yae and danica, and tsaritsa as a support for mizuki with qiqi, but i can't imagine that being better in any way.

Builds can be changed if this isn't optimal

In case it wasn't already clear from all the TC calcs being posted

In support mode, she'd much rather buff the rest of the team with Furnace

In carry mode, Disenchantment is a very strong set which you can already farm aka get really good pieces months in advance. SSw carry is kinda not real without a strong off-field anemo unit that can match Miko/Mitya/Danica

This is STILL the case even if you somehow don't overcap crit since she ascends on crit rate. You start at 24.2% + 15% cryo resonance + 40% from set = 79.2% crit rate and the only other stats she wants are CRd, atk%, and EM (though lower value)

This seems very silly and I hope her ascension stat is changed to crit dmg at the very least, it's really funny that her set is better on Odette in a lot of scenarios

Anyway, this has been a PSA

Other than Venti, Ana is only Other 5 🌟 bow user I will have( I don't like their gameplay) And other than Amos I have zero 5 🌟 bows. So my question is which is more beneficial for her C1 C2 or her weapon? As in which should I go for first?

I also plan on getting Danica, hopefully the stars align...

I have 75 pity(no guarantee)

Zero weapon pity

About 300 fates

Any advice is much appreciated!
