The Truth About Crit in Genshin @saurusness

Uploaded August 2023 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Genshin players talk about artifacts a lot, but we often get it wrong.

Take a look at those two artifacts for an electro-damage DPS Raiden: they both have the ideal main stat, and are from her ideal set. The only difference is their substats, but that's where they're really different.

If you have spent any time at all thinking about artifacts you'll probably feel like it's easy to tell at a glance which is better - most people would think it's not even close. Most people would be mistaken.

What if I told you that they're as good as each other, with just an insignificant gap in between?

How on earth could that be true? Let's find out!

$How far would you go to save the ones you love? Phrolova story analysis! Like many, I had high hopes for Phrolova’s story, and still Kuro exceeded expectations. Gacha tribalism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njiaPcEcGsk&list=PL9ZYbPkYPaHPKf8VMpUmv3FwURBFoFJem It’s rare for gacha stories to stick the landing when it comes to villains. Even rarer still is one which dares to ask hard questions, and then refuses to give the easy answers. We’ve known Phrolova for a long time. Her presence in WuWa wasn’t just as a shadowy figure or mysterious tease — she had history, charisma, and complexity from the start. I didn’t need her to be redeemed. I just wanted her to be done justice. So going into this quest, I was hopeful… but also wary. I’ve been burned before. 00:00 Intro 00:37 Expectations vs reality • General concerns 01:27 Expectations vs reality • Last-minute uncertainty 02:17 Expectations vs reality • They delivered 03:03 Atmosphere • Visuals 03:59 Atmosphere • Music 04:32 A symphony of grief • The sole survivor 05:23 A symphony of grief • The slide into despair 06:13 A symphony of grief • The embrace of delusion 07:06 A symphony of grief • The voices of the lost 08:53 A fractious alliance 09:47 A fractious alliance • Choices 10:41 A fractious alliance • Rovers promise 12:05 A fractious alliance • Rovers intent 12:56 A fractious alliance • Rising conflict 14:20 A fractious alliance • Rovers reaction 16:24 Phrolova • Moral dissonance 17:43 Phrolova • Beyond death 19:07 Phrolova • My perspective 20:10 Fenricos fate 21:01 Conclusion Im always happy to talk WuWa and other games, streams 3pm UK https://www.twitch.tv/saurusness Genshin rotation app: https://genshin-rotation.com/ Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/saurusness Merch: https://saurusness-shop.fourthwall.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/saurusness Discord: https://www.thatsaurus.com/discord #wutheringwaves #projectwave$
