Character Comparison

Calculation Breakdown
The relative DPS performance ratios across their respective optimal F2P/C0R0 setups compare as follows:
- Mualani (Vaporize Setup): ~100% (Baseline for highest single-hit frontloaded damage).
- Kinich (Burning/Burgeon Core): ~92% (High continuous single-target output during Nightsoul state).
- Varesa (Overload/Aggravate Core): ~88% (High sustained AoE & single-target burst output).
- Chasca (Triple-Element Converter): ~85% (Versatile single-target / multi-element burst).
- Xilonen (Support/Buffer): N/A (Increases overall team DPS output by ~35%–45% via 36%+ RES shred and artifact buffs).
Summary Recommendation
- Best Utility / Long-Term Account Value: Xilonen (A plug-and-play universal support who slot seamlessly into almost any elemental team).
- Best Raw Burst / Nuke Damage: Mualani (Unmatched single-target Vaporize numbers with simple setup).
- Best Mobilized Single-Target DPS: Kinich or Varesa (Depending on whether you need Dendro/Burning or Electro/Overload capabilities).

Weapon Comparison

Calculation Breakdown
The comparative damage gain of equipping these signature weapons over their best F2P R5 craftable/4☆ options breaks down as follows:
1) Peak Patrol Song (Xilonen):
- Base Support Contribution: +25.6% Teamwide Elemental DMG Bonus [Normal Text Breakdown: 100% baseline team output + 25.6% direct elemental bonus = ~125.6% overall team output scale].
2) Surf's Up (Mualani):
- Personal Scaling: +88.2% CRIT DMG + 20% Max HP + 48% Normal Attack DMG % [Normal Text Breakdown: 100% baseline R5 craftable output + 30% stat/passive variance = ~130% relative signature performance].
3) Fang of the Mountain King (Kinich):
- Skill Scaling: +60% Skill/Burst DMG at max stacks [Normal Text Breakdown: 100% baseline Earth-Shaker output + 22% skill multiplier variance = ~122% relative signature performance].
4) Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage (Chasca):
- Conversion Output: +24% ATK + 24% Skill/Burst DMG + 66.2% CRIT DMG [Normal Text Breakdown: 100% baseline 4-star output + 20% passive conversion scale = ~120% relative signature performance].
5) Roaring Desolation (Varesa):
- Burst Uptime & Skill Scaling: +24% Skill DMG + 20% ATK + 12 Flat Energy refund [Normal Text Breakdown: 100% baseline 4-star output + 21% uptime/stat variance = ~121% relative signature performance].
Priority Summary
- Best Overall Pull (Universal Value): Peak Patrol Song (Xilonen's sword acts like a second support unit, buffing the entire team's damage regardless of element).
- Best Personal DPS Spike: Surf's Up (Mualani) and Fang of the Mountain King (Kinich).
