・Damage is competitive when run with a Dendro team comp for Aggravate.
Genshin - Kokomi Kokomi As a DPS
・Decent Hydro driver for Bloom and Electro-Charged reactions, and self-sufficient as she can heal for herself.
・Her kit not allowing her to crit requires her to use teams and artifacts that would introduce damage for her.
As a Sub-DPS
・Has a persistent off-field Hydro application with her Elemental Skill that can be refreshed with her Elemental Burst.
・When using the Clam artifact, her heals would also deal good off-field damage.

・C2 refreshes her already good shields via the use of Normal Attacks.
Genshin - Varesa Varesa As a DPS
・Plunge Attacker who has high base DMG to compensate the fact that she cannot do amplifying reactions unlike Gaming, but still stronger enough especially as she doesn't need that much investment with support of buffers who are relatively easy to access like Iansan or Chevreuse.
・Easy-to-use and smoother than most Plunge Attackers, which means her base potential is easily reached by any casual players.

・Decent Geo DPS damage with a combination of her Normal and Charged Attacks.
・Requires high investment on her constellations to play optimally.
