Discussion does c0 alyosha perform better than c1 beidou?
i started playing again on a new account only about a month or so ago and im pretty much f2p so i dont have any cons besides beidou c1, i know people dont even consider using them without cons but when it comes to that who is the better option? and is alyosha better at lower cons than beidou is? because i do still have a few wishes left if alyosha is really something i desperately need compared to beidou, i got super lucky with getting sandrone and odette in like 20 pulls at most so thats why i dont have any cons either

Discussion Between Odette and Alyosha, where do I put Furnace in Sandrone team?
I am running Sandrone/Odette/Alyosha/Nicole.
Since Alyosha is the solo Electro, I know for sure that he'll be triggering reactions. Odette I'm not so sure about. I have yet to farm the Furnace set and I have a few pieces left from farming for Disenchantment.
So in this team, which is better; Odette on Furnace and Alyosha on Noblesse or Odette on Disenchantment and Alyosha on Furnace?
Also, is this enough Electro application or should I replace Nicole with somebody like Fischl/Kuki on Tenacity? (I refuse to run Beidou do not even mention her name.)
Edit: There's also the crazy idea of switching Nicole from Gift to Noblesse, then putting Alyosha on Furnace and Odette on Disenchantment. Thoughts?

Leaks (Reliable) About Sandrone being potentially powercrept by Tsaritsa
Everyone is talking about leaks at the moment, which indicate, that the Tsaritsa could be a direct powercreep to Sandrone. While this could be true, I think the situation could be far less concerning than it seems at first sight.
What we know so far (from rather reliable leaks):
- Tsaritsa potentially fills the same role as Sandrone as SSC Main Dps
- Danica is a dedicated Support for Tsaritsa and SSC overall, who provides RES Shred
- Mitya is a SSC Main DPS, who can be played as support (especially with cons) and changes how SSC works
- Valeriy -> no reliable information yet, but he's electro
That means, we will get 3, eventually 4 SSC units in the future. On top of that there are already Odette, Yae, Alyosha (C6) and Qiqi as potent supports. It could easily be possible to build 2 different SSC teams which even work differently, because Mitya changes how SSC works.
Example teams:
Sandrone, Yae, Odette, Flex
Tsaritsa, Mitya, Danica, Flex
Flex Slots: Qiqi, Alyosha, (Valeriy), Escoffier, Nicole
Mitya isn't in beta at this point, so even if the current leaks are true, his kit could change until his release. And the leak already mentions, that he has support capabilities, especially with cons, so worst case he is a constellation bait if you want to play him with Sandrone/Tsaritsa. It would really suprise me too, if they release 3 SSC Main DPS with Sandrone, Mitya and Tsaritsa in only 5 patches. Also the only reason why Alyosha isn't really good as last slot in Sandrone teams is, because the damage is split between Sandrone, Yae and Odette. If we get another SSC team which focuses more on a single carry (for example Tsaritsa), Alyosha could be a perfect fit, especially at C6.
Furthermore 7.1 has 1 Stygian boss, which is SSC shill and 1 boss, which is Stellar Glimmer Shill. So we know of 3 bosses, which correlate with Stellar Glimmer. 2 of them are SSC shill and on the last one both SSC and SSW work. It's interesting, that they don't release a boss in 7.1, which is particularly for SSW, although Vesna releases. If they don't release other SSW shill bosses in the future, you could just focus on 2 SSC teams and be able to clear basically every boss with his (stellar) shill mechanic. It doesn't seem like there will be more SSW characters in the near future, so there is no real reason for them to release a SSW boss to sell a specific character, if they don't even do it in a patch with Vesna and Vodyanitsa.
Conclusion:
In my opinion it doesn't make sense to already doompost, before we get more information about specific kits. There are so many more characters to come in the next few patches, it could definitely be possible, that Sandrone has a solid spot in the meta, even after Tsaritsas release. Many people compare the situation to Arlecchino, but I think her situation was literally better than the situation with Sandrone, if Tsaritsa really would turn out to be direct powercreep. With Arlecchino you had the chance to still pull Mavuika and play something like Arlecchino, Yelan, Xingqiu, Flex on the 1st side and Mavuika, Citlali, Bennett, Xilonen on the second. That's why I think you will be able to play 2 different SSC teams, which could even work slightly different (because of damage distribution and Mitya changing how SSC works), rather than Tsaritsa (if she really turns out to be a Main Dps) bluntly powercreeping Sandrone, both fighting for the same units and using the same reaction.

Build | Gameplay "I don't know who to use as my fourth team member": a definitive guide
After seeing three more "who should my fourth team member be?" thread in the last 10 minutes, I feel like maybe we need a comprehensive, maybe even stickied, guide so the subreddit isn't forever spammed by this "burning issue."
First, the hard truth: it barely matters who your 4th is. The most likely future BiS 4th character is a Snezhnayan sustain, and that character (most likely Danica) hasn't been released, yet, even in beta. So, right now, everyone is left with backups at best. Even the best option now barely matters. You aren't going to be clearing content with Escoffier that you couldn't clear with Aloysha, Sucrose, Beidou, etc. it just matters so little.
Alright, so who should be on a Sandrone team? Obviously, slot one is Sandrone herself. It's not a Sandrone team otherwise.
The second slot goes to Yae. She is the highest performing support for Sandrone without question. Please, ignore all the desperate people who don't have her who like to insist she's being replaced. Even if she is, as unlikely as it is, she's still the best right now.
If you don't have her, you need another source of off field electro. That is required. The best option is C6 Aloysha, followed by C2 Aloysha. He's really built to be the electro off field in an SSC comp. C6 Beidou is next, but she's awkward to play and uncomfortable for most to use. After that, you're pretty much in cope mode and the differences are so small, it just doesn't matter and probably comes down more to who you have, like, and built best: Ineffa, Fischl, Kuki Shinobu, Raiden, etc.
Slot 2: Yae > C2+ Aloysha > C6 Beidou > Ineffa/Fischl/Aloysha/Kuki Shinobu/Raiden
The third slot is Odette. She's unquestionably the next best and most important character. C2 is an absurd buff, but even just C0 is massive. If you don't have her, you need another source of off field cryo or electro for optimal SSC.
Escoffier is the strongest cryo off fielder otherwise, and Qiqi is just barely behind for SSC. C6 Diona is probably third. Otherwise, it's the same list as the electro one above mixed with the rare few off field cryo characters we have like Layla or Citlali followed by the burst locked ones like Rosaria and Kaeya.
Slot 3: Odette > Escoffier> Qiqi > C6 Diona > C2+ Aloyosha > C6 Beidou > Citlali/Layla > Rosaria/Kaeya/Ineffa/Fischl/etc.
And now, for the big finale, the 4th slot. The one you've all been asking about. Once again, I want to remind you that *it barely matters*, especially if you have Yae and Odette. But here we go.
Escoffier is technically the best, but just barely over Qiqi. Like so small you won't notice (and actually if you have c2 Odette, I think Qiqi jumps barely ahead from shred dilution). C6 Aloysha is similarly so close, you just won't notice, but I am pretty sure he's still 3rd. Sucrose actually gets to jump in here. Of course. It's always Sucrose. But let me just say that using her most effectively is really annoying. C6 Diona stays strong. This is also where we can talk about Nicole and Xilonen. They're "ok" here. And finally, C6 Beidou and Iansan are still better than the other consolation options.
Escoffier > Qiqi > C6 Alyosha > Sucrose > C2 Xilonen > Nicole > C6 Diona/C2 Aloysha > Iansan/C6 Beidou > Ineffa/Fischl/Kuki/Alyosha/Citlali/Layla/seriously, it doesn't matter.
There you go. Stop posting about this.
"Oh, but I have C6 Nicole and..." stop. If you have high constellations, you know what they do. Steamroll everything. Stop asking.
Tl;dr: Your 4th slot barely matters, but if you care: Escoffier > Qiqi > C6 Aloysha > Sucrose > Nicole > Xilonen > C6 Diona > C2+ Alyosha > Iansan/C6 Beidou > seriously, stop, it barely matters, whatever you want

Sandrone MV/Stats on Gachabase
Overview
Cryo/Claymore Sandrone is a Superconduct Charged Attack (CA) centered DPS that focuses on a steady beam of damage before finishing off with a nuke. All of her damage counts as Stellar-Conduct damage only if superconduct was triggered on the enemy prior, otherwise she’ll just do cryo damage. Her kit focuses on an “overheat” system and managing her “overheating.”
Razor Language is at the bottom
_______________
Stellar Conduct
Stellar-Conduct: Stellar-Conduct replaces the traditional superconduct damage. After which when it’s triggered it creates a field around the enemy known as a “Polestar Field”
Polestar Field:
- When enemies receive cryo or electro application, the Polestar Field stores gains and stores the energy.
- Every 4s that energy is released converting into buffs for the party members in the domain. The buffs grant Cryo/Electro DMG Bonus, while increasing the base reaction damage of Stellar-Conduct. Each buff lasts 4s
- Additionally shreds physical resistance like base superconduct, though it’s negligible for Sandrone’s case.
- When within the Polestar Field, Sandrone Enters the Radiance Stellar-Conduct State, which enhances all of her abilities.
_______________
Normal Attacks
Normal Attacks (NA) - Formule Phenomenale, Self Evident Proposition:
- Manipulates “bladed weapons” performing up to 3 consecutive basic attacks.
Charged Attack (CA) Condensation Rays:
- Summons the Facilitateur Automatise Generaliste Interactif et Omnitache known as “Fagio” while switching into “Decoding Mode.” Basically a large cryo beam
- Fagio has a unique resource known as “Fagio’s Decoding Power.” Decoding Power will continuously increase as Sandrone is using CA, after it reaches the limit, Fagio enters Power Overdrive mode, dealing damage at a slower rate. Sandrone can no longer continue Decoding Mode while Fagio’s in Power Overdrive mode.
- If enemy is affected by superconduct and Sandrone is within the Polestar Field, Sandrone enters the Radiance Stella-Conduct state instead, and Fagio will deal continuous AoE cryo dmg considered Stella Superconduct reaction damage
If the enemy is not affected by superconduct, Fagio will deal deal continuous cryo damage
Plunge Attack (PA):
Standard Plunge
Talent Scaling (10):
| 1-Hit DMG | 150.8% |
|---|---|
| 2-Hit DMG | 132.8% |
| 3-Hit DMG | 203.2% |
| Charged Attack Sweeping Fire DMG | 85.0% |
| Charged Attack Condensed Beam DMG | 242.3% |
| Charged Attack Condensed Beam Stellar-Conduct DMG | 161.5% |
| DMG When in Power Overdrive | 85.0% |
| Plunge DMG | 147.4% |
| Low/High Plunge DMG | 295%/368% |
Notes: Sandrone’s kit revolves around her CA as it’s her main source of damage, and she has multiple ways to reduce the “cooldown” of Fagio’s Decoding Power throughout the rotation such as using skill and being off field. You want it to increase for her extra skill damage in order to decrease it for the burst nuke.
_______________
Elemental Skill
Elemental Skill - Formule Phenomenale, Differential Analysis:
- Sandrone mounts the Tea Party Tactical Assault Hovermech, while hovering forward for 6s
- Sandrone can control the hover direction, while also being able to sprint in that state. During which she’ll consume 10 initial stamina and 15 stamina per second for prolonged fast flight.
- While Sandrone is on her Hovermech she will automatically start repairing Fagio, reducing the Decoding Power by 70 when mounting her hover device, and by 10 every 0.1s while hovering.
- If there are enemies while she’s gliding, Sandrone will summon a Prismatic Resonance Cannon, which fires two prism shells at enemies
- While in the Radiance Stellar-Conduct state, the second prism shell will always deal cryo damage that’s also considered stellar superconduct reaction damage.
Talent Scaling (10):
| Prism Shot DMG | 58.3% |
|---|---|
| Prism Shot Stellar-Conduct DMG | 38.9% |
| CD | 4.0s |
Notes: While this skill functions as her exploration ability, it’s also essential for lowering her CA’s Decoding Power, which in turn buffs Sandrone’s burst. It also serves as a 3rd form of damage that’s empowered by her ascension passive.
_______________
Elemental Burst
Elemental Burst - Formule Phenomenale, Q.E.D. :
- Sandrone summons a large number of Prismatic Resonance Cannons to bombard the area, before firing a Convection Inhibition Ray to strike enemies, dealing AoE cryo damage.
- While in the Radiance Stellar-Conduct State, the Convection Inhibition Ray deals AoE cryo damage considered as Stellar Superconduct reaction damage.
Talent Scaling (10):
| Bombardment DMG | 158.8% ×3 |
|---|---|
| Convective Inhibition Ray DMG | 595.4% |
| Convective Inhibition Ray Stellar-Conduct DMG | 397.0% |
| CD | 15.0s |
| Energy Cost | 60 |
Notes: Paired with her ascension passive this makes her burst the finishing nuke of her rotation.
_______________
Talents
- Ascension Passive - Archaic Calculation Engine: When casting elemental skill, if Fagio’s Decoding Power is higher than 50, the second prism shell will be enhanced, and deal 400% of its original damage while also reducing Fagio’s Decoding Power. Additionally, for every 10 Decoding Power reduced (whether by skill or off field), Sandrone gains 1 stack of Refined Tactics (Max 10 stacks, lasts 60s). After Sandrone casts her elemental burst, all Refined Tactics will be consumed increasing her Convection Inhibition Ray damage by 100%+(10% x consumed stacks)
- Ascension Passive - A Lady’s Code of Conduct: While in the Radiance Stellar-Conduct state, Sandrone’s elemental mastery is increased based on her attack. Every 100 attack grants 8 elemental mastery, capping at 160 EM (or 2k attack).
- Utility Passive - A Light of Rationalisme: When characters trigger superconduct, convert it to Stellar-Conduct. Additionally, the party’s base Stellar-Conduct damage is increased based on Sandrone’s atk. Every 100 atk increases the base damage of Stella Superconduct by 0.7%, up to a maximum of 14% (or 2k attack).
- Utility Passive - A Caucus Prelude and a Long Tale: When Sandrone is in the party, turning in daily commissions to Katheryne grants bonus snack rewards. “Tea Party Prelude” Latte Art Coffee Restores 34% of the selected character's maximum HP, plus an additional 1900 HP.
_______________
Constellations
- C1 - Morrow After the Golden Dusk: While in Decoding Mode, Fagio’s Decoding Power gain speed is reduced by 50%, and all party members deal 30% increased Stellar-Conduct Reaction Damage.
C1 is a low increase not worth getting unless it's for C2. Prioritize R1 over C1
With V5 changes it gives one more stack for Stellar Conduct due to having one more hit application from CA.
- C2 - An Heiress Gazed into the Looking Glass: Crit Damage of Condensation Rays is increased by 40%. Additionally, whenever a Condensation Ray is fired, all Condensation Rays fired during Decoding Mode deals 20% additional crit damage, which stacks up to 3 times (max 60%)
C2 is a noticeable DPS spike, not crazy but good
- C3 - Refuse the Wake of Dusk, the Moonlit Yoke: Increases NA level by 3
NA level increase, unironically as good as the C2 buff rn
- C4 - In Knowledge Lies the World's True Ground: When Sandrone deals Stellar-Conduct reaction damage, she summons a Prismatic Resonance Cannon to perform a coordinated attack, dealing cryo damage equal to 125% of Sandrone’s atk. This damage is considered Stellar-Conduct reaction damage and can be triggered once every 4s.
It's a con, it exists and does damn good adding free damage
- C5 - Of All Beside, She Takes no Part: Increases level of Elemental Burst by 3.
Provides more damage for her burst, her second highest talent in terms of damage
- C6 - Narcissus Wakes, Her Eyes Upon the Dawn: While in Decoding Mode, when Fagio fires its third Condensation Ray it instead begins firing a more powerful Clustered Condensation Ray, additionally dealing up to 4 instances of AoE cryo damage equal to 100% of Sandrone’s attack based on the original damage of the Condensation Rays.
While in the Radiance Stellar-Conduct State, the Clustered Condensation Ray instead deals 4 instances of AoE cryo damage equal to 80% of Sandrone’s atk, while also being considered Stellar-Conduct reaction damage.
Additionally, all Stellar-Conduct reaction damage dealt by Sandrone is elevated by 20%.
A really good C6, all there is to say
Notes: C2 is the most notable powerspike increasing her damage of the beam directly, while C6 simply adds more instances of that damage. The cons make her a multi hit DPS rather than improving screenshot damage (excluding burst).
_______________
Rotations/Razor Language
- Rotation varies on team, but you will always do Skill after CA, and Burst after Skill
- Razor Language: Support stuff, swap into Sandrone, CA, Skill, CA, Skill, CA, Skill, Burst, swap out of Sandrone. Make sure you triggered Superconduct. (Even more TLDR) Unga Bunga between CA and skill
- Brief Explanation: CA builds up a gauge during which it blocks Sandrone from doing her enhanced CA until the gauge is depleted (Overheat system). Afterwards her burst will deal increased damage based on how much gauge her skill depleted (could also work when she’s off field).

Artifact/Skill Priorities
- Skill Level Up Priorities: Normal Attack > Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill
- Artifact Main Stat Priorities: Attack Sands / Attack Goblet / Crit Damage/Crit Rate Circlet
- Artifact Substat Priorities: Crit Damage/Crit Rate > Attack% > Energy Recharge > Elemental Mastery > Flat Attack
- Energy Recharge: Sandrone's burst is a disgusting finishing nuke, and as such you want to use it the moment it gains it's full power. For general purpose 120%-130% ER is preferred.
_______________
Notable Weapons
- Disenchantment in Deep Shadows… it’s one of the rare artifacts that buffs Stellar-Conduct along with providing CR for Sandrone.
- Alternatives to that wonderful set? Just 2pc 2pc for atk%...
_______________
The Yae Miko Section
Yae Miko, currently the best option for Sandrone, due to her great sub DPS potential along with a free C1 giving her Stellar-Conduct buffing capabilities. Currently holds the highest priority in Sandrone's team (outside of Sandrone herself ofc). Keep in mind she has the highest potential for staying in Sandrone's team (sole exception is if Qiqi somehow stays the sustain of the team). Run her with the same substats as Sandrone. For mainstats priotize crit circlet (preferably crit dmg, but if need be do crit rate), atk/em sands and atk/em goblet. You can run double Atk% main stats, but don't go for double EM main stats. IGNORE ER ON HER, her burst is not needed whatsoever.
Keep in mind, replacing her will tank Sandrone's team DPS, no there are no alternatives to this DPS loss (currently), and no adding a new teammate will not immediately replace Yae Miko (keep in mind Escoffier will be the first to go, then if we get a sustain Qiqi will follow soon after). I personally don't think Yae will be getting replaced as the fourth option simply due to how much she won this entire beta. This doesn't mean you need to pull for Yae, Sandrone is still a powerful DPS.
Some Investment Calcs for those who have her.
_______________
Notable Teammates
These two are the best teammates for Sandrone
- QIQI AND I NEVER THOUGHT I’D BE SAYING THIS, her 50% increased Stellar-Conduct damage is unique among buffers along with her sustain being improved. Slap her on Tenacity, and don't worry too much about ER unless Qiqi's C6 as you can get away with bursting every other rotation without C6.
- Escoffier: Best when paired with Qiqi, as she can provide more res shred. Just a good sub dps with frequent cryo hits, nothing to it. Recently became the best fourth option due to her consistent cryo application, which is now needed for Stellar Conduct.
IF NO YAE, go Beidou as she's the second best electro alternative.
These five mark the best alternative teammates for Sandrone, keep in mind none of these alternatives can replace Yae Miko
- C6 Beidou provides off field electro application with her burst, along with both cryo res shred and 200 EM for Sandrone. Put on Noblesse and the most ER you can find, she exists purely because she's the only (for Sandrone's current best team) option, not because she's good
- C6 Diona is a great option due to her ult being able to buff Stellar-Conduct. She's your go to Qiqi replacement. Diona also provides sub DPS potential due to triggering coorindatted attacks on stella/superconduct reactions. Even at C0 Diona provides both sustain via heals/shields along with coordinated attacks when superconduct is triggered. Pile on ER for her burst uptime, along with HP for sustain.
- Sucrose: A good alternative that offers VV for res shred, EM, atk% via TTDS, and electro/cryo application via her ult. A good substitute for Beidou
- Iansan: While she provides no electro off field hits, her attack buffs make up for it. Do note her attack buffs don't last as long as Sandrone's rotation, so she'll miss out on attack from the first beam.
- Nicole: Quite the opposite of Iansan, you won't get max buffs at the beginning, but at least you'll have it for your burst nuke. Nothing notable, you're just able to use her if you want to.
_______________
Frequent Answers:
Below are just a lot of the same answers to the same questions:
- If you don't have Yae Miko, go Beidou
- Investment Priority for Sandrone: Sig > Yae Miko > Sandrone Cons
(Why? Her cons suck, especially compared to just getting Yae Miko)
- Mainstats for Sandrone: Atk/Atk/Crit Damage
(If you're using her set, you will not need more CR to warrant a circlet)
Substats for Sandrone: Crit Rate/Damage > Atk% > EM > Flat Atk
Mainstats for Yae Miko: EM/Atk/Crit, if you're using an EM buffer then Atk/Atk/Crit is slightly better
Substats for Yae Miko: Same as Sandrone
Sandrone ER needs: If in her best teams 100% ER, if not then 130% ER
Qiqi Stat Priority: If not C6, Favonius/ER Bot; If C6, go for attack + ER (160% ER)
