What is featured on this build doc?

This build doc features optimal weapons, artifacts, and stats for each individual character. It assumes you are at least Adventure Rank 45 and can farm 5★ artifacts at the highest level domain; for pre-AR45 guidance consult the Pre-AR 45 Guide.

X character was just released and I don't see them on here, where are they?

Newly released characters require live-server testing and roughly about a week or more for contributors to gather relevant information and calculations; contributors add characters as they complete testing rather than on demand.

Where can I find such weapons and artifacts mentioned on the build doc?

Acquisition methods for weapons and artifacts are listed on the Genshin Fandom Wiki, which also includes stats and effect descriptions for weapons and artifacts.

What do each of the weapons and artifacts do?

Each element section contains a hyperlink to another Google Sheet listing each weapon and artifact's stats and effects; consult those linked sheets for detailed mechanics.

I believe X weapon/artifact is good for Y character, can you add it?

Rankings are backed by meticulous testing and calculations; weapons and artifacts are added or re-ranked when contributors' calculations and testing support those changes.

There is a niche build setup for X character, can it be added?

The guide focuses on general, broadly viable builds; niche setups that only work in 1–2 situations are typically excluded to keep the guide applicable to most players.

I see that Energy Recharge requirements are mentioned but a value isn't listed. Why is that?

Energy Recharge requirements vary by team composition and playstyle; precise numbers depend on team, constellations, and rotation, so users are directed to consult the Energy Recharge Calculator.

Is there data to back up your rankings?

Most sections are theorycrafted and backed by calculations; contributors provide calculation links where applicable. The guide avoids using pre-TC or leak content in its sources.

There are visual and formatting errors! Please fix NOW!!1!11!!1

The doc team is aware of Google Sheets' formatting limitations and will address visual issues when possible; formatting problems may persist but will be actively managed.

Can you make sections for unreleased/teased characters?

No; the build doc does not use leaks or beta content and only documents characters officially released on global servers.

Can you provide team-building assistance?

The guide does not provide full team-building but will mention important synergies between characters when relevant.

What are these random letters when discussing combos and rotations?

The guide uses a legend: N(x) = Normal Attack x times, C = Charged Attack, E = Elemental Skill, tE = tap E, hE = hold E, Q = Burst, J = Jump, D = Dash/Dodge, P = Plunge, and x[combo] indicates repeating a combo x times.

Are there at least F2P options for each character?

Yes; the guide ensures at least one permanently accessible F2P option (craftable or freely obtainable 3★/domain drops) exists for each character.

What are the Constellation assumptions for each character?

When relevant, the guide mentions constellation assumptions; 4★ characters may vary, and 5★ characters are generally assumed at C0 unless stated otherwise.

Do you have build docs for Honkai Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero?

Those guides exist but are not managed by the Genshin Doc team; check the respective official Discord servers for community guides.

When will you update X character? They're extremely outdated!

Updating all characters takes time due to the doc scope (100+ characters) and small team; the contributors aim to update sections as activity and player usage justify.
