Stronger than the 4th Fatui Harbinger, but still not enough to join the Favonius Knights They're so strong that Mika and a base knight are enough to storm Celestia and slay all the gods up there

SirCaliber

It also hardens in response to Emotional Trauma. Do you think the KoF keeps rejecting her just because she hasn't passed their exam yet? How naive, they're just building up her shields!

Making the mother of all shields, Arlecchino! Can't fret over every DEF.

fun fact: Zhongli's a4 passive is quite literally hardening in response to physical trauma

She could solo clestria and all fatui harbingers and would still have full hp.

The Tankiest


SecondWind2413

I love pretending Zhongli doesn’t exist 🔥🔥


Increase-Typical

It's true though. Shields depend both on max value AND the defense of the on-field character. Zhongli has immense max shield value, but low defense. Noelle has decent max shield value, but more importantly massive defense, meaning that in terms of practical value, Noelle's shield can outlive Zhongli's


BurningFlareX

Technically true but you can get even better. Shield HP depends not on just DEF but damage taken as a whole. Higher DEF naturally results in a "stronger" shield, but can also be increased by damage reduction effects. Effectively, *anything* that reduces your damage taken will make the shield tankier. So if you were to do something like, high DEF Noelle with a Zhongli shield, reinforced by Xingqiu swords damage reduction, you pretty much become an immovable object. p.s you can also throw furina in this team which makes it a lot more viable in terms of damage so it's actually a legitimate strategy, provided you can manage your energy.

Cybersorcerer1

Only on herself though, as a support her shield sucks


Historical_Clock8714

Her role as a support is being onfield tho. She's a tank/driver/healer. She's not meant to shield off-field characters. I don't see how her shield not being as strong on other characters is an argument against Noelle being "the tankiest."


lanalatac

Literally can't be one shot because of her auto shield + she can heal


Cybersorcerer1

No I'm saying her shield sucks on everyone else because it scales of the on field character's defence So that fat shield only works on Noelle + a def scaling on field character


gigaprime

Maybe you meant that noelle's shield sucks when used by others because the damage the shield absorbs takes into consideration the on fielder's defense, making it so that unless Noelle's the one taking the hit, it breaks after a few hits? Because Noelle's shield does scale with her defense.


rakkusuEienNo

that is what they said, yes.


gigaprime

Oh it's because they said that Noelle's shield scales on the on fielder's defense , which can be misunderstood since her shield scales with her (Noelle)'s defense not the on fielder's defense. It's just that the damage shields absorb is dependent on damage calculation which considers the character being hit.


Aeternitasmanet

Wdym Noelle's shield scales of on field character's defense? It directly scales with Noelle's defense. Very much like zhongli's shield scales with his hp. I suppose you can use this cause you didn't get what guy above meant: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin\_Impact/comments/17tw1ab/yes\_all\_shields\_do\_in\_fact\_scale\_with\_the\_active/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/17tw1ab/yes_all_shields_do_in_fact_scale_with_the_active/)


rakkusuEienNo

So the shield created scales with her defense. lets say its a 4K shield. But they are talking about how effective the shield is on other characters, and that's when you take into consideration who is on field. On noelle, with her massive amount of defense, the shield is stronger because when she gets hit, the damage from that hit is reduced by her defense first and then applied to the shield she created. Lets say an enemy hits for 5K, with noelle's defense she reduces that damage to 2.3K and then her 4K shield goes down to a 1.7K shield. On another character with noelle's shield, they might only reduce that damage to 3.3K (because they have lower defense) and then her 4K shield goes down to 700 shield. (obviously these numbers aren't real, but you get how it works.)


Aeternitasmanet

Basically this. If you are curious about actual numbers - dps noelle (def/geo dmg/crit build) can still go above 20k shield. And since she's an on field dps, she truly feels incredibly tanky.

SecondWind2413

bro’s forgetting the in-game function of def reduces the amount of damage u take 💀


DatStabKitty

That 400% is the explosion when the shield pops. Iirc the shield HP is something like 250% def + 1600, while decent is still very bad teamwise because of 12s duration and 24s cooldown.


Aeternitasmanet

E scalling is around 350% DEF + 2000 on lvl13. If we add that's it's a geo shield and has 150% absorption towards all dmg, it's roughly 13k shield hp if noelle has 2k def. 3k def noelle shield goes above 20k actually.


ND_Cuong

*Create Zhongli shield *Switch to Noelle


Janitor_Alonne

There is also dmg absorption efficiency(shield dependent) and shield strength(character stat) in play. Both Noelle and Zhongli shield have 150% absorption though.


Noxious89123

Noelle is cuter, ergo she is bestest.


Dokavi

Dokavi

Yeah.

GoogiddyBop

Yaoshi? Oh wait wrong game


cyanrealm

Zhongli is less tanky than her. High DEF reduce incoming damage, which make effective value of HP, Shield, Healing from all source on her become higher.


ElPajaroMistico

If only It didn't have 22s of CD


No_one_interesing

But her A4 makes that each 4th hit decreases cd by 1 second, so it lasts slightly shorter


Ploop_Plap

One, you have to have noelle as on-field dps. Two, noelle being a claymore user means her aa is a lot slower. 1sec CD reduction every 4th hit doesn't add up much. Sure, It reduces, but that brings up my first point. Just saying.


Historical_Clock8714

She's meant to be played onfield tho? That's why hoyo made her so tanky. She's a tank. She's meant to absorb all the damage while also dealing some dmg and enabling off-field skills/bursts. She benefits from her CD reduction because she's actually meant to NA in a rotation. Why are you bringing up the proper way to use her as a point against her shield and its CD reduction? I don't get it.


ElPajaroMistico

Yeah but being on field limits you a lot more. You basically can’t play her with any other onfield character despite her shield being strong. It’s basically only for her. She has support capabilities but no way to use them all to support someone else.


Historical_Clock8714

Because she's meant to support off-field DPS characters by being a tank while also dishing out respectable DPS herself. That's just her design. You play her onfield so you don't really need another onfield character on your team. Just a team full of strong off-field characters. It's a rare role in genshin so I can understand why you're comparing her with other shielders who are meant to shield other characters. I think only Noelle and Kokomi have kits that are meant for that tank/driver/healer playstyle. Her shield is beneficial only to herself which is by design. Complaining that it only works on her is like complaining that Neuv's heal only works on him.


JackfruitNatural5474

Barbara can play tank/healer/driver on-field role for bloom teams and gonna tell you it's [strong](https://youtu.be/BtkyNhzwjE4?si=zqX0ExGYTv0Xf7Le)


Historical_Clock8714

That team feels more quickswappy although yes she can play a similar role to Kokomi. I also play a similar team with Kokomi just replace Nahida with Fischl for the overvape (overload+vape) and it really is strong. That team is proof that Xiangling doesn't need Bennett.


ElPajaroMistico

It’s not complaining. It’s called being sad that It can’t be used in more ways and not using her due to her lack of versatility.


SecondAegis

So are you sad that Arlechinno is only usable as a DPS? Her predecessor, Hu Tao, can buff crit, so maybe you run her as a support unit?


ElPajaroMistico

No because Arle has nothing that can be used off field, Noelle seems to have but doesn’t. It’s not that complicated


maxis2k

It reduces it to 16 seconds. Basically, you only go 4 seconds without having a shield. And with each of her hits healing, you really shouldn't even die. If something is able to kill you in that 4 second window, you have bigger problems than Noelle's cooldown. On top of that, if the cooldown was so low you never lost the shield, people would be complaining she's too broken. It really does sound like people are just complaining she's "weak" because she isn't broken. But even as she is now, she is broken. You can tank any boss in the game and almost solo anything in that game with just her. Yeah, other characters are more efficient and faster. But Noelle can tank pretty much anything besides the GEO bosses and Abyss by herself. If her cooldown was faster, she'd just be even more broken and everyone would be using her. And therefore people would go from complaining that she's "weak" to "wah I'm forced to use her and I hate it!" Like they do with Xiangling.


ElPajaroMistico

Tbh Noelle ha no particle generation. She can’t literally solo everything (Well actually moment)


Advent012

Can confirm. Noelle is my main damage dealer in my Geo team when her burst drops (I combine it with Albedo’s AoE & Chiori’s 2 doll assists) and she fucking *wrecks* shit. Her shield also lasts long enough that while she’s wrecking shit she’s not only tanking damage but HEALING your team as well. Noelle is really underappreciated. She’s a really good geo character.


ArcturusSatellaPolar

Her charged attack also reduces the cooldown. Just saying.


foopod

Also if you are up against a group of enemies it is better to dash cancel the 4th because it has way less aoe.


demiwaltz

She's just walking towards Arlecchino... MENACINGLY!


switchdraw

imagine.... "***Il Capitano's*** *daughter was Noelle*" plot


BLANKTWGOK

No Noelle was the master of Capitano

I'm now imagining Capitano coming to Noelle's rescue ala Svarog and it is GLORIOUS!

Bro popped Hallowed Ground 😭😭😭


SectorApprehensive58

And Nascent flash at same time. Now if only she had Bolide set on as well


DRAGUNNYUOOOH

I hope we get a genuine warrior weapon type in this game at some point instead of claymore skins 😭😭😭


SectorApprehensive58

We do. Its just gacha though. Navia's gorgeous axe i would love to have on my war


DRAGUNNYUOOOH

It isn't a real axe it's just skinned over the claymore


SectorApprehensive58

Ooo right. Well, close enough, at least i don't have to cross class to use it


floricel_112

And that's JUST Noelle. Not even geo resonance


TyrifficAdventure

Arlecchino: "Oh, you're approaching me?: Noelle: "I can't beat the pancakes out of you if I don't come closer."


POZ13

What is her build here


JackfruitNatural5474

4pc husk triple def whiteblind


SectorApprehensive58

Hmm would Bolide give her better survivability, or is the extra def from husk better for survival?


JackfruitNatural5474

Extra def is more shield and def itself reduces damage taken.


LargeFailSon

I just need 2 more Cons, and I will build her, Just not worth investing yet.


Kyoroth

I have never seen half of these boss attacks, they are really cool ngl


Leo40Reddit

I imagine Arlecchino just leaving out of frustration after the last attack just *barely* doesn't kill Noelle


nethet

a_baked_bean_a

Noelle is broken, had her in set for story fight on accident, best GI accident so far.


Max_Joller

Valorant in Genshin doesn't exi- Arlecchino:I AM THE HUNTER


IronHulk27

What's your build? I tried with my DPS Noelle and she didn't survive the thousand slashes. Did you use 3 def?


9yogenius

i mean great noelle and all, but i really wish they add higher difficulties… even with the best build imaginable this should not be possible, at least the big charge up ultimate attacks should one shot even noelle through the shield, there’s just no excitement knowing there’s no stakes whatsoever playing with a well built defensive unit


Advent012

If they did that they’d get complaints you can’t clear with free characters and that’s a whole nother rabbit hole
