Is anyone still using Genshin Optimizer in the year of 2026?

As the title says. [Genshin Optimizer](https://frzyc.github.io/genshin-optimizer/) is a fan made site meant to help players find the best artifact and stat combinations for their characters to maximize damage or support effectiveness based on their current inventory and team setup. You set it up by using a scanner to scan artifacts, characters, and weapons, and then upload to the site to see your best set ups for your account. it’s pretty intuitive.

Now though, with the introduction of QoL fixes in-game and the DPS calculator in Miliastra Wonderland, it‘s been getting easier to plan this out within the game but I’m still getting frustrated with how Genshin chooses redundant (in my opinion) features to implement over actual useful ones (that GO has). I don’t mean to be a “hater” but I would also like to know others opinions on this and maybe how you would plan out builds with or without using an external tool like I do.

They do different things, anyone who cares is using both

GO making a graph of my gearset options based on maximizing stats is great and something the wonderland just doesn’t do.

My lauma for instance I chart how much damage she does vs her ER and you can see where the fall off is so you pick enough er before her damage falls off.

Testing in wonderland is a great tool tho.

MW is really good for testing different combos and no which one is the best and making sure TC assumption are correct

While the optimizer is still better to know which build is better because it can be really hard to determine which off piece you should use

They do actually complement each other a lot

I see what you mean with mw’s use in content creation and tc since I am neither. I don’t regularly see content creators using go since go is more for personal use.

I found it too much hassle to scan artifacts, the fast equip feature kinda do the same thing in-game.

Optimizer for picking what build is best since in game thing is awful

MW target dummies for seeing team dps and testing rotations, since for artifact-artifact things you'd have to go through all those loading screens just to change one thing

Less-Development-242026-01-19 05:37

yes! I get so frustrated with how in-game fixing is both over-engineered and inefficient at the same time. Why do I need to go to “reshape” to see the stat distribution? why are there TWO lock status (normal lock and star)? We also still cannot see low or high rolls within the stat distribution just how many upgrades. I also play ZZZ and the artifact system there is much cleaner.

Frozenmagicaster2026-01-19 05:49

Star would be like a favourite, like locking normal pieces, then can star a 50 cv piece because it’s special, though I’ve never used favouriting

Never heard of it until now\~!

Less-Development-242026-01-19 05:25

you should try it!

Charming_Case_72082026-01-19 04:06

Yeah, it's how you figure out your best builds.

DPS dummy lets you put it into practice, but it doesn't allow you to test minor stat differences accurately due to skill issues lol.

Less-Development-242026-01-19 05:32

yeah I get that but the running counter for rotations is pretty accurate in MW vs. actual combat performance. I suppose I don’t usually play super optimally to reach the theoretical dmg output on GO. I usually use GO as a signal to stop farming artifact sets (if my farmed set is better than a 2pc or random build).

I’ve been using GO for years and keep it up to date, so adding or changing anything in it isn’t a hassle for me. It’s very helpful for finding the best builds and tracking

Is anyone still using the questions megathread in the year of 2026?
