Site Architecture & SEO Overhaul
Rebuilt the site on Astro 5 (fixing a broken build). Added Characters, Builds, Teams, Comparisons and Guides index pages with search and element filters.

Equipment Guides, More Rankings & Visual Upgrade

Weapon Pages, 18 New Comparisons & Thin-Page Cleanup
Added 39 individual weapon pages with best-character picks, usage tips and alternatives. Expanded comparisons from 15 to 33, and fixed comparison links so they resolve character slugs from the data instead of guessing. Added in-depth guides for Kinich, Xilonen, Citlali, Mualani, Chasca, Venti, Wanderer, Navia, Baizhu and Skirk (37 characters now have full guides). Build and team pages for characters without in-depth content are now set to noindex and removed from the sitemap, which cuts 116 thin pages from Google's index.

Artifact Pages, More Analyses & Classic Character Guides
Added 18 individual artifact set pages with best-character picks, farming caveats and 2-piece guidance. Expanded analyses from 4 to 12, covering National team mechanics, Furina Fanfare stacking, Aggravate vs Hyperbloom, Burgeon, Freeze vs Melt, artifact main stats, Abyss team building and rotation fundamentals. Added in-depth guides for Keqing, Diluc, Mona, Eula, Klee, Jean, Albedo and Ayato — 45 characters now have full guides.
2026-08-30
Element Hubs, Quick-Reference Tables & Support Guides
Added seven element hub pages covering every elemental reaction, the strongest teams per element, and the full character roster per element, linked from the footer of every page. Character pages now show a quick-reference build table instead of a card grid, plus a shortcut to the matching element hub. Added in-depth guides for Fischl, Sucrose, Beidou, Faruzan, Gorou, Layla, Tighnari, Rosaria, Chevreuse and Emilie — 55 of 95 characters now have full guides, and their build and team pages are back in the index.

Search Snippet Overhaul & Answer-First Character Pages
Rewrote the title and description for all 349 character, build, team, weapon, artifact and element pages. Each page type now targets its own query instead of competing with itself: character pages own "X build", build pages own "X best weapon", team pages own "X best team". Character pages lead with a one-paragraph answer and a build table above the fold, so the gear answer is visible without scrolling, and they now link to every head-to-head comparison the character appears in. Also corrected the Arlecchino URL spelling with redirects from the old addresses.
