When I first pulled Eula back in 2023, I was dead set on dominating Teyvat with physical damage. Boy, was I in for a reality check! 🙃 Physical teams felt like trying to climb Dragonspine barefoot – possible but painfully inefficient. Everyone kept chanting "just play Hyperbloom" while my Eula struggled to keep up. The core issue? Physical damage got left in the dust compared to elemental reactions. No fancy Viridescent shreds, no multiplicative vape/melt explosions... just you, your claymore, and the cold hard truth of resistance stats. But after two years of stubborn experimentation, I’ve found beauty in the underdog struggle.

Why Physical Damage Feels Like Herding Cats 😼

  • Built-in limitations: Superconduct’s 40% physical RES shred is our only lifeline, but it demands strict team synergy. No anemo support crutches here!

  • Energy nightmares: Characters like Eula and Freminet guzzle energy like Sumeru scholars chug coffee. One botched rotation and your burst vanishes faster than Paimon near sweet madames.

  • Support scarcity: Before Mika’s arrival, physical buffers were rarer than peaceful Hilichurls. Even now, his kit’s clunky as an overloaded ruin guard.

My Superconduct Dream Team Evolution

Character Role Breakthrough Moment
Fischl 🦉 Battery/Electro applier Oz’s near-permanent uptime saved my rotations
Rosaria ❄️ Cryo enabler + phys buffer Her C6 made my Eula hits feel meaty
Raiden ⚡ Burst damage amplifier Solved energy famine during downtime
Mika 🏹 ATK speed/phys DMG boost Only worked after I pulled his C6 🥲

Eula, Mika and Freminet – the physical trio that made me believe

Fischl became my ride-or-die from day one. That sassy birb Oz? Absolute MVP. Electro application on tap, particles flying everywhere... she’s the duct tape holding physical comps together. When my Razor phase hit (yes, I tried Thundering Furry – fun but chaotic), Fischl carried him like a backpack through Abyss. Her consistency’s so good, I’d forgive her dramatic monologues mid-battle. 🎭

Then there’s Freminet. Oh, this precious diving bell mechanic! His stack mechanics had me scratching my head initially. Persistence paid off though – timing his skill for physical strikes after superconduct feels chef’s kiss. At C6? He punches way above his weight class.

Freminet’s satisfying shatter physics – still underrated in 2025

But let’s talk Mika... sigh. Building him felt like assembling IKEA furniture without instructions. That physical DMG buff vanishing when swapping characters? Pure agony with Eula’s burst timing. And his energy issues – holy Tsaritsa, I farmed ER artifacts until my resin wept. Only at C6 did he click, turning my Eula into a whirlwind of death. Worth it? Debatable. But when his buffs align... oof, the dopamine hit!

Why Eula Still Reigns Supreme 👑

She’s the only 5-star purely dedicated to physical carnage, and her Lightfall Sword nuke with superconduct? chef’s kiss That 7-second buildup before the explosion still gives me chills. Rosaria’s cryo application + Raiden’s skill duration create perfect superconduct uptime. Their synergy feels like a well-oiled (if slightly janky) machine:

  • Raiden’s skill → persistent electro → triggers superconduct

  • Rosaria’s burst → cryo field + C6 physical shred

  • Eula’s combo → Grimheart stacks → BOMB 💥

Mika in Dragonspine – where I farmed his artifacts until frostbite set in

Physical teams in 2025 remain niche – let’s not kid ourselves. But there’s raw satisfaction in making the “weak” meta work. When Eula’s burst crits for 500k amidst superconduct’s purple haze? Pure serotonin. Maybe Hoyoverse will throw us a bone someday... until then? I’ll be here, swinging my claymore at meta slaves with a grin. After all, sometimes the rocky road has the sweetest rewards. 🍦
