Plan put together with the help of Chat GPT — is it any good? We’ll find out I guess

🌊 Yelan (Hydro Burst DPS)

Artifacts
Long-term:
4pc Emblem of Severed Fate.

Short-term:
2pc Heart of Depth (Hydro DMG) + 2pc Noblesse Oblige (Burst DMG).

OR literally any mix of 2pc ER sets (Emblem, Exile, Scholar) until ER feels comfy.

Stats to chase early: ER on Sands, Hydro DMG Goblet if you find one, Crit Rate circlet (so her Burst crits reliably).

Tip: If nothing else, slap “The Exile” 4pc set (cheap 4★) for free energy support—it smooths out her Burst uptime.

⚡ Kuki Shinobu (Hyperbloom Trigger)

Artifacts

Long-term: 4pc Gilded Dreams / 4pc Flower of Paradise Lost.
Short-term:

4pc Instructor (easy 4★ set, drops everywhere)—gives whole team +EM. Perfect budget build.

OR any mishmash of EM mainstat pieces (Wanderer’s Troupe, Gilded, etc.).

Stats to chase early: EM/EM/EM. Don’t sweat substats yet—just triple EM and go.

Tip: Even with trash artifacts, she’ll delete mobs once you stack EM.

🌿 Collei (Dendro Support)

Artifacts
Long-term:
4pc Deepwood Memories.

Short-term:
4pc Instructor (like Kuki).

OR 2pc EM + 2pc ER.

Stats to chase early: ER Sands if you can’t Burst often; otherwise EM pieces.

Tip: Deepwood is important long-term, but until then, Instructor or mixed sets will still keep your Hyperblooms strong.

🌪️ Sucrose (Anemo Support / EM Buff)

Artifacts
Long-term:
4pc Viridescent Venerer (VV).

Short-term:
4pc Instructor (again—super budget friendly).

2pc EM + 2pc ER sets.

If you luck into VV pieces, you can slowly start slotting them in.

Stats to chase early: EM/EM/EM. Just go full EM and she’ll buff your Kuki into orbit.

Tip: Even a level 60 Sucrose with random EM pieces can turbo-charge Hyperbloom damage.

🔑 Big Picture (Why This Works)

You can get Instructor 4pc for Sucrose/Kuki/Collei just by exploring domains, bosses, and chests. It’s free and functional.

Meanwhile, farm Emblem of Severed Fate when you can—Xiangling wants it too, so you’re double-dipping.

Don’t stress “perfect pieces.” For Hyperbloom, main stats matter 80% more than substats.

Suggested Build Order (for quick wins)

Slap EM/Instructor on Kuki → boom, team works instantly.

Give Collei some ER + EM junk → she’s functional.

Put random EM gear on Sucrose → she shares it with the team.

Focus artifact farming on Yelan (Emblem domain) since she’s your damage scaler.
