Changli vs Scar - Tower of Adversity | Wuthering Waves
Mini Changli First Impressions.
Changli is very fun to play. The chasing is easy against bosses that move around so much as you can pretty much teleport with her True Sight - Conquest (Skill) and True Sight - Conquest (Ground attack during True Sight). Yes, in case you didn't know, Changli can teleport to the enemy when using her skill. Not just when using True Sight - Conquest.
This Scar boss on ToA is a bit more aggressive than normal? Even the Inferno Rider seems to have less wind up on the attacks. Kind of encourages quick swapping during Flaming Sacrifice (Heavy Attack with 4 stacks) so she avoids taking damage. I'm personally not really a fan of that but that will be a way to not take damage and optimize the rotation.
On Changli's Intro, you can use her skill mid air if you press it immediately after True Sight - Charge (Mid-air attack during True Sight). Otherwise she will do a plunging attack. After using her skill, she will be on the ground so you can use True Sight - Conquest instead.
During True Sight Conquest or after using it, time stops a little bit and this can be tricky against bosses that attack a lot like Scar. The timing for evading attacks is weird. Hahaha.
Flaming Sacrifice (Forte Heavy Attack) and Radiance of Fealty (Liberation) has quite the range. Well, maybe because Scar is huge so bigger hit box but it can reach quite the distance.
I think she is supposed to take hits. Her kit has damage reduction and even her S1 has damage reduction and interruption resistance. Only downside to keeping the rotation fast is you lose the bell dmg amp. I want her S2 though. 25% Crit Rate just like that. Hahaha. Maybe on her rerun when I have enough Afterglow Corals.
I don't think my rotation is optimal by the way because Changli is unable to take advantage of Inferno Rider's buff since I use it before swapping to Verina and by the time I can use the first Flaming Sacrifice, 15 seconds have already passed. So yeah, don't try it thinking this is the way. Hahaha.
I also don't know if I have to wait for Impermanence Heron on Sanhua to hit an enemy before swapping out for the buff to activate. Can someone please explain this.
Oh and do remember that with the Echo Shell/Bell there is some damage reduction for 3 strikes and if you transform into an Echo, you take 0 damage when you have the shield.
I wonder what Changli's rotation will be once she is already buffing another Fusion DPS. It feels weird because you'll want two outros on her every team rotation to avoid wasting time building a stack. Support, Changli, Main DPS, Changli, Main DPS so it gains the Fusion and Liberation Dmg buff, and then back to Support? But it seems like Main DPS, Changli, Support, Changli, Main DPS, Changli, Support, Changli will be the better one.
I kind of like Sanhua though because her rotation is so freaking quick. Too bad the timer is still going at normal speed even when she activates her Forte and the movement slows down. Kind of punishes you when doing a perfect dodge and stunning an enemy specially if you do it using an intro skill.
Oh and echoes are not yet fully upgraded. Still hunting for a better 4-cost with higher Crit Rate and Crit Dmg substats.
The 1-cost Dreadmane could've been really nice since the high roll on Crit Rate with Atk%, Skill, and Liberation and then it rolled flat Def. Hard to replace that, but hoping. Hahahaha.
Also hoping for Skill Dmg on the Purple Bird and Spectro Prism on the last one. Flat Attack or Liberation Dmg is okay as well.
Skill, Forte, and Liberation are also at level 7 only.The last rotation would not have been needed otherwise.
Kind of wish her damage is closer to Jinshi, but I understand because her Outro has a huge buff so the overall damage will likely be comparable once we get a 5-star fusion main dps with a focus on Liberation damage.
Anyway, that's all. Will post a full clear again once I can clear Inferno Rider. That stage is harder than Hazard Zone. Hahaha.
Good luck on your pulls!
