 Hey guys, welcome to Snowbreak Containment Zone and we have here a build guide for Ethereal Cloud Chen Xing. So take note guys that this is not the end all be all of the guide for her. This is just a suggestive guide based on her kit, based on how she plays, and based on her build type. So start off with her build type. We have her at painting targets for bigger damage. So that mechanic is tied to her standard skill. She also has a little support, which means she will be your main DPS. And also guys, don't forget her support has paralyze as well. And going back to her standard skill, chain damage effect is going to be a part of her standard skill. So again, she is gun DPS focused as her build type, but we will start off with her skills. So first and foremost, this is your spiritual silk spiritual slip. This is her standard skill, which focuses on damage. Damage for this skill is going to be in small increments guys. And this has a chain ability up to eight targets once you unlock this neural skill. Okay, so it starts off with five then as a branch of eight, then the other neural skill unlocks additional damage. The key to making this a good skill is that you need to shoot your enemies to be able to deal more damage. Again, this has a chain function to it. Next up is her scarlet thunder counterblade. This is what I mean when you get little support from her. Her kit doesn't really play into her support skill. It plays more to her standard skill and ultimate skill. However, this is also nice to have. It deals electrical damage. And once you unlock the neural skill here, it is paralyzed for two seconds. This has small incremental damages as well. But again, you won't be using this much as she will be your main DPS or gun DPS. Next up is her ultimate skill, which is damage focused as well. It's called dominance. And this one, it has a nice utility as it bombards a large area knocking targets in the air, dealing electrical damage. After using the celestial key, fierce thunder continuously strikes the area. It's like a bombardment of a certain area. But again, as you open up your neural skills here, when celestial key hits, resets the attached duration of all spiritual slips in the area. Plus, there's a 20% ballistic damage taken by the enemies in that zone. So take note of that. This is a nice skill to use, especially for bosses with multiple parts or even a singular part. So again, there you go for her skills. Next up is going to be her weapon. So obviously, you will need her, not exclusive weapon, her preferred weapon, which is Anti-Evil Ward. So Anti-Evil Ward, the reason why you have this, because it increases electrical damage by 18 and crit damage amplifier by 12. Don't worry if you don't have enough crit. If you shoot at the parts, it's going to be crit damage. So when dealing with electrical damage, gauge one stack of Crimson Cloud, max 50 stacks. So this one is going to be stacking up your attack. So increased by 21%. Cloud effect can still be obtained when in Crimson Sky Shield state. So this gun is going to be massive in terms of damage. So we will need this eventually. But if you don't have this gun, you can actually go for this gun indicator. This gun is going to be your, what do you call this, your alternative. If you don't have any gun, because the skill again, compliments her build upon entry, increased ballistic damage by 5% every seconds, max 7 stacks. So that's roughly 35% ballistic damage. Not bad if you don't have her preferred weapon. So again, guys, the other option is you can go with duckling as well. But the problem with the skill here, this is your third option. This, her skill here is going to be for her support skill, which I think you won't be using that much. But again, this is an option. And all of these guns that we were talking about are of, oh no, this one is electrical damage. But this one, the indicator is chaos damage. So again, it's actually boils down to preference on which one would you use? Would you prioritize ballistic damage, however this is chaos damage gun? Or would you go for an electric damage gun? But you won't be needing the skill for this one that much. So again, it's up to you on what you bring also depending on the availability of the guns that you have. Okay, so moving on to logistics guys. This one, this logistics is Ming Yi squad. This will be your start up logistic. There is a better one for this one. We'll talk about it later. You can actually get this one, this Ming Yi squad in the current event. You can get 50, I think 50 points for each. So that's 150. Then you can equip it here. Okay, so for your logistics, let's go over Ming Yi squad here. So I hope this girl is going to be playable in the future. I like the way she's designed. But going back to officers, increased ballistic damage by 24 for three officers dealing electrical damage. So this particular logistic is catering to electrical damage, increase attack of the equipping operative by 1% for three seconds. But it's going to repetitive triggers will reset duration. So don't worry about it. So it's going to be a max of 45 stacks. So a max of additional electrical damage of 45 percent. So that is the initial what they call this initial logistic that you can use. Then we proceed to the next one. Okay, so for our priority logistics, this is going to be Mizu squad. So Mizu squad here increased ballistic damage with 24 when shooting continuously, which is actually going to fit more of a SMG or an AR each shot ballistic damage by 3% max of 20 stacks. So this has a max of ballistic damage of 60% while the other one is electric damage by 45%. So this one is preferred. If you want to add more damage to her gun, you should eventually get this one. Also, guys, don't forget that this is only available in the store and with this currency. So token for underground purge. So if you want to farm this currency, you have to farm on this stage to be able to get all three of them. Okay, so going back to logistics, now that we have identified the beginning, the beginner logistic and your advanced logistic, the next up discussion is going to be about talent. Which talent are you going to be prioritizing? So in your talent stat here, please prioritize attack percentage because attack percentage adds to the skill damage and also to your ballistic damage. Next up is going to be alignment index here. Alignment index is going to be key in increasing damage for Ethereum cloud. The other two options is going to be elemental damage, which will appear in the third slot here as you level this up to 15. But the other option as well for the top two lines here is going to be crit rate and crit damage, crit rate or crit damage. So again, those are the things that you need to further enhance her damage. So attack percentage, alignment index, elemental damage and crit rate or crit damage. As you see here, I don't have the, what do you call this, the preferred talent, but eventually you'll have to replace these for better stats to increase your damage. So next up is going to be manifestation. So how greedy is she in terms of manifestation? Well, if you ask me, you should level her up up to manifestation four. She's going to require a bit of investment, especially if you want to maximize her damage, especially for the silk spiritual slip. So this is your fourth one. Shot detonation damage increases to 44% of the shot's damage. As you go below for the third one, Chen Xing's shot hits a target with a spiritual slip attached. Crit damage, a bit flowery, increased by 30. So again, this goes back to her standard skill. Duration of spiritual slips and scarlet thunder increased by 50%. But the fourth manifest, the first manifestation is when a theory of clouds shoots a weak spot, ballistic damage increased by one for three seconds, max 15 stacks. So this is an additional 15% damage to hit a weak spot. So even the first one is good, but preferably you need to reach four to be able to maximize her potential. Her fifth one, however, is also with spiritual slips, are detonated by Chen Xing's shot. There is a 30% chance to deal extra damage of 50% detonation damage. Again, this is going to be, it's going to be a while before you're going to hit this one. But going with one manifestation is going to really improve your damage output already. So preference is going to be up to four, but one will definitely increase your damage output. Next up is going to be Neuronix. So for Neuronix, if you're going to be using her as a main DPS or main shooter, definitely go for the clusters for silk spiritual slips. You will need this because this one is dealing 70 damage. When slips disappear, there's an additional damage to your targets. And this one is increasing the marked targets up to eight. So you need that as well. And for your ultimate, which is dominant. So when Celestial Key hits, resets the attached duration of all spiritual slips in the area. The other one is in the dominant zone, increases ballistic damage taken by enemies by 20%, which is actually one of the strong suits of her ultimate. As far as the support is concerned, this will be the last unless you really fancy her as a support. But again, you will miss out on a lot if you don't level this up for silk spiritual slips and this one for dominance and as her ultimate. Okay, so if you're asking me guys who is going to be her best support unit, number one would be Kaguya Akasha because of her support skill to lower all type resistance. So this is actually the one of her best supports that if you want to bring Ethereum Cloud, then definitely Kaguya will be one of her support. Other supports that I think will benefit her is also going to be her recent companion with the series because of the shield, you can actually hold the standard button much longer and probably aim more. The shield that she has for her support skill is going to be a game changer and also going to benefit Chen Xing, Ethereum Cloud when she uses her standard skill. Okay, next up that I think you will be using as her support or might be a secondary TPS, it's going to be Yao, Winter Solstice. So Yao, not too bad for support. This one is knocking enemies around the air and deals thermal damage. This one as enemies come closer, this is a nice skill to repel enemies. But if you want to shoot further, she will be your additional DPS for the team. And lastly for healing, you can bring Chen Xing. She can also help you out with her friends for additional damage for her standard skill. Then you go out, switch out to her counterpart, which is Ethereum Cloud. The other one, in case you need more pure healing, it's going to be Yao Quiet Quitter. So those are your best supports for Ethereum Cloud. Going back to her, it's going to give you guys my overall thoughts. She can be an all-around DPS with her main specialty on bosses with multiple parts. Again, she is, for me, she's a jackable trade. She's very, very well balanced. I'm just afraid that she doesn't excel much in damage unless you invest on her, especially in manifestation. Also, while her standard skill is perfect for mobs, it also will leave you vulnerable to attacks when you hold the skill. This is what I am referring to. So that one, I hope that will be buffed or will be changed into, in terms of aiming, you can move. For now, when you aim for that standard skill, you cannot move. So it's going to leave you vulnerable. And lastly, she might need a buff in skill damage in the future as she is too dependent on her gun for DPS. So that is it, guys. It has been an in-depth guide on Shenzhen. Again, if you feel that this video is very informative to you, please put a like. Please also subscribe to the channel. Also, guys, I would appreciate your comments and suggestions. Again, this is not your end-all-be-all guide. Again, this is based on how she plays and how to build around her playstyle. So thank you very much, guys, for staying this far. Take care. Stay safe. This is The Warden, and I'm out of here.
