Build notes
Finale of the Deep is the free option and often his best, for the ATK it gives. Favonius Sword trades ATK for team Energy, and Sapwood Blade is the pick in a Nefer team from his C2. Heart of the Furnace is the usual set, Noblesse Oblige when he holds the team's buff.
Also works
After reaching his ER Requirements, Valeriy seeks to maximize his ATK for his quill scaling. CRIT Rate is only to be considered if using Favonius Sword.
How much Energy Recharge Valeriy needs to cast the Burst every rotation, by team and by weapon. Where a target is out of reach, the advice beside it says what to do instead.
| Team | C0 | C1+ |
|---|---|---|
| 3 Electro (Mitya/Cyno Yae Odette) | 150% | 115% |
| 2 Electro (Mitya Sucrose Odette) | 190% | 145% |
| If funnelling Particles to an ally | 20-25% | 15-20% |
Calcs from the prydwen.gg guide, rephrased
#1
Normal Attack = Level
Max first
#2
Skill
Then
#3
Burst
Next
Valeriy’s buff is tied to Normal Attack talent and thus takes priority. Talent levels for his Skill improves his sustain while his Burst is his most major source of damage. However, the latter is often minor and the former only requires levels for player comfort.
Valeriy generally starts his rotation with Burst if it is already available. Otherwise, it is cast when available during his field time.
The order in which his Skill and special Charged Attack are used then varies: using his Skill first is mandatory on the first rotation, allows Valeriy to collect his own particles, and allows him to hit maximum Impact Momentum generation from the second rotation onwards. Otherwise, using his Skill after allows him to more easily funnel the particles it generates to an ally, increasing Valeriy’s ER Requirements and delaying being able to reach the maximum Impact Momentum stacks until the third rotation. However, this is often well worth the trade off if paired with an Energy-hungry ally.
Rotation and combos from the prydwen.gg guide, rephrased
Mitya plays sub DPS in this Mono Electro team built around Cyno, with Odette (sub DPS) and Valeriy (support). Cyno, Mitya and Valeriy give Electro resonance (High Voltage: Electro reactions drop Electro particles). None of the four is a healer or a shielder, so the team leans on dodging or on a lead with built-in sustain.
Mitya carries this Superconduct team as main DPS, with Odette (sub DPS), Sucrose (support) and Valeriy (support). Mitya and Valeriy give Electro resonance (High Voltage: Electro reactions drop Electro particles). None of the four is a healer or a shielder, so the team leans on dodging or on a lead with built-in sustain.
Mitya carries this Stellar Conduct team as main DPS, with Yae Miko (sub DPS), Odette (sub DPS) and Valeriy (support). Mitya, Yae Miko and Valeriy give Electro resonance (High Voltage: Electro reactions drop Electro particles). None of the four is a healer or a shielder, so the team leans on dodging or on a lead with built-in sustain.
Mitya carries this Superconduct team as main DPS, with Diona (support), Sucrose (support) and Valeriy (support). Mitya and Valeriy give Electro resonance (High Voltage: Electro reactions drop Electro particles). Diona shields the team.
Genshin Impact 4★ Electro Sword Support
Finale of the Deep tops the weapon ranking for Valeriy at R5, ahead of Favonius Sword and Sapwood Blade. That order is prydwen.gg's, measured in play and rephrased here; every row of it sits under Weapons below.
Run Heart of the Furnace on Valeriy, with Noblesse Oblige behind it. Main stats are ATK% > Energy Recharge sands, ATK% goblet, ATK% > CRIT Rate circlet. Roll substats in the order ER > ATK% > CRIT Rate.
Talent priority is Normal Attack = character level > Skill > Burst. The Elemental Burst costs 60 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.
Aim for 15% to 190% Energy Recharge, depending on the team and the weapon, per prydwen.gg's calcs.
Valeriy plays Support in the Cyno team, alongside Cyno, Mitya and Odette.
Valeriy's abilities multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
Finale of the Deep is the closest fit on the data: it is a 4-star sword with ATK as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK.
Heart of the Furnace. Its 2-piece bonus is: ATK +18%. Its 4-piece bonus is: Increases the equipping character's ATK by 12% for 12s when they trigger a Stellar Glimmer reaction or deal Stellar Glimmer reaction DMG. Also increases Stellar Glimmer reaction DMG dealt by all nearby party members by 50%. The above effects can trigger even when the equipping character is not on the field, and he DMG bonus from multiple Artifact Sets with the same name do not stack.
