TaiYi - Gengchen

Overview:

Gengchen is a Water-element Rage-type character who can both deal damage and provide support.

Her enemy grouping ability is top-tier, but without Wuluo (CN 5.1), Gengchen’s DPS potential is essentially capped, urgently needing a Synergy update.

The arrival of Wuluo has brought massive changes to Gengchen; her buffs, which surpass Skuld’s, push Gengchen’s damage close to the current top tier.

However, low-investment Gengchen is still relatively average, being a tier below Zhiming and Water Hel, in terms of damage.

Gengchen’s strength lies in her lack of long animation startups, smooth output, and simple, mindless operation.

Sigil Recommendations:

• Sigil Recommendations:

  • DPS:

    • 1, 3, 5 [Undercurrent of the Depths]

    • 2, 4, 6 [The Lingering Shadow].

    • Omega:

      • 5, 6 [Ruler of the Heavens] for short-duration stages

      • 2, 3 [Ferryman of the Dead] (CN 4.6) for long-duration stages.

  • Support:

    • 1, 3, 5 [Undercurrent of the Depths]

    • 2, 4, 6 [Spartan Battlecry].

    • At Omega choose 5, 6 [Ruler of the Heavens].

Sigil Enchants:

• DPS: Standard recommendations. Special note: Absolutely do NOT roll for [Burning Will]; otherwise, you won’t benefit from Wuluo’s Yellow Aether Codes and the effect of [The Lingering Shadow].
• Support: In addition to standard DPS enchants (since support Gengchen still contributes significant supplemental damage), you can roll for [Burning Will] and [Waves of Rage]. If you lack initial charge when using the Ultimate Skillchain with Lingguang, you can roll for 1 or 2 levels of [Loopback].

Aether Code Recommendations:

• Support: Use Red 3 Aether Code.
• DPS: Use Blue 3 Aether Code.

Warp Recommendations:

Her warps are relatively generic. The only thing to note is that for positions 5 and 6, you can choose [Anger Management] according to your needs.

DPS Rotation:

It is recommended to cancel the recovery animation of Skill 1 with a dodge. The damage will still register, and you can use other skills sooner.

It is not recommended to use a dodge to cancel the recovery animation of Skill 2, as you might lose damage.

Complete the full normal attack sequence as much as possible to gain more Rage and deal more damage.

Use Skill 3 whenever available. If Skill 1 or 2 are only 1-2 seconds away from coming off cooldown, you can wait for them before using Skill 3.

Initial DPS rotation: 1-dodge-2-3-1-dodge-2-3-1-dodge-2-1-dodge-2-3-1-dodge-2.

Stat Boost Priority:

It is recommended to prioritize upgrading Skill 3, then Skill 1 and Skill 2 equally. Finally, if you have extra resources, consider upgrading her Ultimate and Normal Attack.

Team Recommendations:

• Gengchen + Lingguang + Wuluo: A universal team that can handle three different element Iterative Testing.
• Zhiming + Lingguang + Gengchen: Currently Zhiming’s most recommended team. To trigger the high Independent DMG from the Zhiming-Lingguang Ultimate Skillchain (CN 5.1), Gengchen being both Water and Tian Yuan is the optimal solution.
