Genshin Impact Version 6.5: Rauma and Nefer, Should You Pull? In-depth AnalysisIn this video, we will deeply analyze the performance and utility of Lauma and Nefer, who will appear in the latter half of Genshin Impact version 6.5. We will cover the pros and cons of both characters, optimal party compositions, and recommended weapons and artifacts in detail to help you make a wise choice.
1. 🌸 Lauma: The Light and Shadow of Versatility
· Lauma is recognized as a versatile character that can be used with Nefer and Colombina, or in a Butoni party.
· At the time of release (estimated version 6.0), she garnered attention by boosting damage to 100,000-110,000 within the declining trend of Butoni parties.
· However, after the release of Colombina, as the damage of Nodkrai parties increased to over 140,000, the efficiency of Butoni parties utilizing Lauma relatively decreased.
· Currently, Lauma deals around 100,000-110,000 damage in Butoni parties, which is similar to or lower than some Kirk parties and past Nevelet parties.
· Due to power inflation, Lauma's utility in Butoni parties is not as high as before, and she has experienced a significant damage reduction.
· To properly utilize Lauma in a Butoni party, additional constellation upgrades may be necessary.
· She is mainly considered as a supporter for Nefer and is used with supporters like Inepa and Lineya.
· She can be used with Cookies or without Nefer, but her power has weakened compared to before.
· Lauma is primarily considered a buffer for Nefer, which can make the analysis somewhat confusing.
· When used with Nefer, Nahida or Sucrose can be placed in the fourth slot.
· Lauma's biggest drawback is being considered the weakest among Nodkrai supporters, contrasting with Nefer and Colombina who exhibit strong performance even without targeted support.
· Inepa and Lineya are weaker than Nefer but still show strong performance and can be utilized in various party compositions.
· Lauma's constellations, especially C2, are beneficial for both Nefer parties and Butoni parties, and she can also be used with Nilou.
· Without constellation upgrades, she may be noticeably weaker than other options.
· Colombina also cannot fully compensate for Lauma's weaknesses.
· Lauma can be used to bypass certain enemy limitations, for example, being useful against Dendro Kokblok or in the Wild Hunt.
· However, this utility is weaker than Inepa or Lineya, and Lauma can be seen as existing primarily for Nefer.
· If you do not plan to pull for Nefer or do not wish to use her in a Butoni party, Lauma is not recommended.

2. ✨ Nefer: A Powerful but Demanding DPS
· Nefer exhibits her strongest performance when used with Lauma, with synergy maximized when both characters have constellation upgrades.
· Using Nefer without Lauma can significantly reduce her performance. Excluding Colombina and Lauma, using Nahida and Ayato results in lower damage than other Nodkrai character parties.
· Nefer lacks suitable alternatives as a Dendro supporter. While using Nahida increases the overall party damage, damage can decrease further without Nahida.
· Baizhu can also be used with Nefer, but Nefer is one of the characters with the highest demands for supporters.
· Even with Colombina, Nefer's party damage is around 110,000-115,000, which can be lower than C6 Epic character parties.
· Nefer is rather demanding in terms of party composition, but weapon choices are relatively flexible. Alternative weapons like the Jadefall's Splendor can also be considered.
· If you plan to pull for Nefer, you must use her with Lauma, otherwise, you may be disappointed.
· If pulling for more than one character (three if including Colombina) is a burden, the Zhongli + Colombina combination might be better than Nefer.
· Nefer's parties require the inclusion of both Lauma and Colombina to function properly, demanding more investment than other characters.
· For Nefer's rerun, if considering constellation upgrades, it's best to prioritize C1, C2 Nefer. C2 Nefer (34% party damage increase) is more efficient than C2 Lauma (31% party damage increase).
· Therefore, during a rerun, it's recommended to secure Nefer first, and then consider Lauma's constellations.
· While the synergy between Nefer and Lauma is high, other characters like Skirk or Zhongli allow for more flexible party compositions when used with Illya.
· If you have Lauma, Nefer, and Colombina, you can form a powerful party, but Nefer parties may lack healing. Equipping Baizhu with a Prototype Amber can solve healing issues.
· If you already possess other Nodkrai characters (Flins, Zhongli), Nefer might only be useful in situations where Dendro is essential.
· If you have Nahida, you can deal with Dendro Kokblok with the Flins and Nahida combination.
· If you have no Nodkrai characters at all and can afford to pull for both Lauma and Nefer, it might be worth considering, but Nefer is one of the most demanding characters in terms of gameplay and party composition.
· Choosing Flins instead of Nefer might offer easier gameplay.
· In content where Dendro is essential, Nefer and Lauma might have an advantage.
· Nefer is the most difficult character in terms of execution and party composition, and is only recommended for prepared players.
· Using Nefer without Lauma can significantly reduce her performance. Excluding Colombina and Lauma, using Nahida and Ayato results in lower damage than other Nodkrai character parties.

3. 💎 4-Star Character and Weapon Analysis: Yaeeko, Xinyan, Keqing, etc.
·
· Yaeeko: Can help solve Nefer party's healing issues but is not the optimal slot. Consider if survivability is lacking.
· Xinyan: Not good to use with Nefer. Xinyan's own attacks do not trigger during Nefer's charged attacks, leading to damage loss. However, Pyro application from her elemental skill is possible.
· Ayato: Might be a better choice than Xinyan and worth considering depending on constellation upgrades.
· Keqing: Not an optimal choice for Nefer. Keqing's bonuses (C6 damage increase, C4 additional state) do not directly affect Nefer's Lunar elemental damage, as Nefer primarily deals Lunar elemental damage.
·
· Nefer's Signature Weapon: Enhances Nefer's damage by 17%, providing an effect similar to C1. It is superior to alternative weapons like Jadefall's Splendor and even better than R5 Jadefall's Splendor. It is a recommended weapon if you pull for Nefer.
· Lauma's Signature Weapon: Based on Elemental Mastery and enhances Lauma's buff effects. It has low base ATK and lacks versatility for other characters. It is primarily used for Lauma.
· 4-Star Weapons:
- Favonius Warbow: Useful for some bow users like Ganyu.
- Favonius Greatsword: Primarily used for Xinyan, can be considered if you pulled Xinyan.
- Favonius Lance: Useful for almost all polearm characters and is a very practical weapon.
- Frostbearer: Provides Crit DMG and Elemental Mastery, making it a good 4-star weapon option for Nefer. It can be used on other characters, but it is most suitable for Nefer. Recommended if you lack a 5-star weapon alternative.
