How to deal with this ER problem?

So I was planning on using Gaming Vape but after making the team, I realized that my ER for the team is going to be hell. This is the team I am planning on using:

Gaming
Xingqui
Xilonen
Mona OR Iansan

Now before some people starts spamming "Gaming teams aren't good without Benny or Sucrose, you should not play it", I am well aware of that. It's not my fault that I don't have them so i need to make do with what I have. I literally have every Favonius weapon except for the sword and the polearm (The only useful ones I need). So my lack of ER is really annoying. What can I do to fix this? If I fully focus on ER sands, not only will that be annoying (if Artifact griding wasn't annoying enough) and it will tank my DMG. What can I realistically do? I was planning on using Gaming as Main DPS, XQ as Sub DPS and then using Xilonen w/ Cinder city and Mona or Iansan supports (Mona with r5 ttds or Iansan with Prototype). Please help.

do you have chevreuse?

Sea_Set_12452026-01-26 07:58

Unfortunately no. The only characters I got on that banner were a single copy of Iansan and Xilonen

Xingqiu needs you to do normal attacks and Gaming does plunge attacks, so they dont really work together at all. also a second pyro on the team will reduce his ER requirements.

Ok got it. I have Rosaria (Or chongyun/Kaeya) and C1 Xiangling. I can run melt but I don't know about the consistency without double Cryo and the only useful pyro I have is Xiangling C1

Yes I checked KQM (Great Website btw). I guess I will just run double double cryo melt or kaeya and Xiangling C1......Dmg will be lower but I guess it is what it is.

You can weave in normals in between plunges

A maxed out sacrificial sword would do wonders for Xingqui. He gains a lot of particles and double casting off cooldown would help. It would give him a boost of ER. In the end, having his burst on every rotation > optimized stats.

Sea_Set_12452026-01-26 08:06

Ah yes Sacraficial Sword. I really want that one but don't have it. After not having any good options for XQ, I just fished R4 Fleuve Condre Ferryman and called it a day. Will swap it out once I get Sac tho.

xVelunax2026-01-26 08:11

I'd certainly consider using Mona over Iansan. It makes your vaporize with Gaming more consistent with two hydro users instead of an electro user running around. It equally lets you need lower ER requirements for having two hydro units.

Sea_Set_12452026-01-26 08:13

Ok I will use Mona then. Thanks for letting me know

xVelunax2026-01-26 08:18

I had another idea. You could consider the Emblem of Severed Fates set for Xingqiu. It won't burst his team damage much with the units in play, but it would make getting his damage up and convert your ER focus in him to damage output.

I was looking it up and he needs a LOT of ER if favonius/sacr cant' be used.

I am actually using 4pc Severed Fate on XQ and it's insane on him especially because of the pipe's passive! Honestly, the only character who lack ER in the team are Gaming himself and Mona. My Iansan uses Prtotype starglitter as a statstick and it somehow works but I odn't really know if I should use her or not. Not having Gaming's c4 makes artifact grinding a pain for him, was so desperate that I was going to use Favonius Greatsword on him but it's relatively low attack was enough to remove it. Mona is Mona. She gives insane buffs but her ER is hell. I have Fav Codex which I can use on her but I really don't know if I should use it in place of the R5 TTDS. Xilonen is surprisingly decent. Her Skill has a short Cooldown and Skill+2NA gives like 4-5 geo particles. But not having ER on Gaming (Who needs his burst to get the plunge cycle started) is really frustrating.

If Gaming is C4 and above, you want to run him at minimum 140er if he's solo Pyro.

Xingqiu with Sac Sword, 200er on 4p emblem should be enough.

Xilonen on scroll, er negligible unless you want to burst every rotation which is not necessary.

Iansan on Noblesse, about 200er. Be careful to meet her atk breakpoints as well (2.53k pre-c5, 3k c5)

Mona on Noblesse TTDS, about 200ER.

You *could* run Petra Xilonen and Scroll Iansan to help Iansan with her er needs, but it will be harder (still possible tho) to proc both pyro crystallize and overload for both set buffs.

Burst uptime is unfortunately the name of the game when building Gaming, so farming for the right stats is definitely necessary. Good luck!

You don't have rosaria?

Sea_Set_12452026-01-26 08:52

I do have Rosaria

babangelsin2026-01-26 08:53

If she is C2+ she can sustain melts for the full duration

Sea_Set_12452026-01-26 08:59

Damn that's good to know but only C0 unfortunately.

lostn2026-01-26 10:26

if you don't want to use ER sands, then you need to keep farming artifacts with ER% sub stats. This results in the best outcome but it will take longer to complete your build.

Or you can just lower your standards and use ER sands. Damage will drop but you're a relatively new player so you shouldn't concern yourself too much about damage just yet. While you continue farming to improve your pieces, this set will work in the meantime.

Sea_Set_12452026-01-26 10:33

Ok got it I guess I was being too stingy. I'll most probably just use ER sands then. Final decision (Until I get Favonius)
