Genshin Impact 1.5 brings out a new Cryo character, Eula. This 5-star claymore user has a rather unique system with her Elemental Burst. Currently, this Spindrift Knight is the only character that can easily deal hundreds of thousand Physical damage in Genshin Impact.
Eula is the Captain of the Knights of Favonius' Reconnaissance Company. She is a member of the Lawrence clan, one of the three big families in Mondstadt. The other two are Ragnvindr and Gunnhildr. However, unlike Diluc and Jean's clan, Eula's has a dark story with Mondstadt. Because of this, Eula is often looked down upon by the citizens of Mondstadt. This leads Eula to often talk about vengeance, despite not meaning it at all.

Eula is a Physical DPS. Her Elemental Burst can deal massive damage. Eula is now the second character that deals Physical damage instead of Elemental damage on her Burst. The first character that does this is the rockstar of Liyue, Xinyan.
However, unlike Xinyan's simple Elemental Burst, Eula's has a system of her own. After casting her ultimate, players have to attack enemies with Eula's Normal Attacks and Skills to gain "Lightfall Sword" stacks. The more stacks players have, the higher damage Eula will deal.
Eula also has a rather unique Elemental Skill. It has "Hold" and "Press" versions. The Press Skill will give Eula a "Grimheart" stack, up to two stacks. Possession of this stack will increase Eula's defense and resistance to interruption.

As for her Hold Skill, Eula will consume the Grimheart stacks. The consumption of these stacks will reduce the enemy's Physical and Cryo resistance. This Grimheart stack can be seen through the illumination of her cape. The brighter it is, the more Grimheart stack the player currently owns.
For artifact main stats, Eula is best used with Attack/Physical/Crit. Attack on Timepiece, Physical on Goblet, and Critical Rate or Critical Damage on Headwear. Her sub-stats should focus on Crit and Attack.
4-Pale Flame
This artifact set is undoubtedly the Best-in-Slot for Eula. Eula's skill has a short cooldown (4 seconds), so it's trivial to maintain the 4-set effect of Pale Flame.
If players spared extra Primogems to obtain Eula's second constellation, the 4-Pale Flame effect will be even easier to maintain. With C2, players don't have to hesitate to use Eula's Hold Skill, as the cooldown is reduced from 10 seconds to 4 seconds.
2-Bloodstained Chivalry + 2-Pale Flame
The combination of these two is the second-best set for Eula. With these sets, players can have +50% Physical damage without any condition. So unlike with 4-Pale Flame, players won't have to worry about maintaining stacks.
4-Gladiator's Finale
Eula is a claymore character that can be used as a Physical DPS. 4-Gladiator will enhance Eula's Normal Attacks by 35%. This increase should not be underestimated if Eula is the main DPS in the team.

However, players should keep in mind that 4-Gladiator will not contribute to Eula's Burst damage except from the +18% attack.
4-Blizzard Strayer
Although her damage is mostly Physical, Eula is still a Cryo character. Building Eula on Cryo is not recommended, but she is highly viable to apply Cryo on enemies.
Because enemies will be affected by Cryo most of the time, Eula can easily maintain the 20% Critical Rate bonus from the 4-sets effect. Not only that, if Eula is accompanied by another Cryo character, that's basically a free 35% Critical Rate.
The Unforged
The Unforged's passive is highly reliant on shields, so 100% shield uptime is a necessity. With Zhongli, The Unforged is superior to any other Claymore. With it, Eula can gain up to 89.6% ATK off her base attack, which is the highest base attack in Genshin Impact after Xiao.
Wolf's Gravestone and Song of the Broken Pines
These two weapons are quite similar. Both of them are able to buff the whole team. When this buff is active, they can easily be the best weapon for Eula. But when it's not, it performs less than The Unforged.

Surprisingly, Song of the Broken Pines is not Eula's Best-in-Slot. However, while it might not be the best for a main DPS Eula, it can take the throne for Burst DPS Eula.
Skyward Pride
The Spindrift Knight has terrible Energy Regeneration. Unfortunately, her burst requires 80 energy. So Eula needs to have a battery on her team.
With Skyward Pride, Eula can gain her burst faster. Because she can burst more often, the Reconnaissance Captain will eventually deal a high damage per second.
Serpent Spine
Serpent Spine's passive is one of the best if players are good at avoiding damage or have a shielder. The stacks will not disappear if Eula takes damage while protected by a shield.
At full stacks, it gives +30% damage for everything. This allows Serpent Spine to outperform Skyward Pride.
Blackcliff Slasher
Usually, Blackcliff Slasher performs poorly without its stacks. But for Eula, it's comparable to Prototype and Snow-Tombed even on zero stacks. So if players have Starglitter to spare, Blackcliff Slasher is the F2P go-to.
Snow-Tombed Starsilver and Prototype Archaic
These weapons are the most F2P friendly weapons. They are quite similar in passives but aren't so similar in sub-stats. Prototype has ATK% as a sub while Snow-Tombed has Physical. Snow-Tombed is usually mediocre because the best passive requires Cryo application. However, with Eula, she can easily proc its full potential.
Diona
One of the benefits of Cryo characters is how easily they can obtain Critical Rates. Simply matching two Cryo into one team adds a 15% Critical Rate on enemies affected by Cryo.

Not only easy Cryo resonance, but Diona also provides cleansing, shielding, and healing to her team. On top of that, the Kätzlein is also a great battery for Eula. If players own Favonius or Sacrificial Bow, Diona can greatly help Eula's Energy Regeneration.
Fischl or Lisa
As a Cryo unit, Eula is one-half of the Superconduct reaction. This Elemental Reaction reduces the enemy's Physical RES by 40% for 12 seconds, a perfect reaction for Physical characters.
The other half of it is Electro. Fischl or Lisa is currently the best for the job, and Beidou works for this role as well. Fischl's Oz can easily provide constant Electro damage, while Lisa can deal Electro with her Normal Attacks. The resident librarian can also do this job with her Elemental Burst.
Bennett or Zhongli
Investing in attack is great for Eula. Whether it's from her Normal Attacks or her Burst, she scales massively with her attack. Who's better than Bennett to add even more to her devastating blows? With Bennett's attack buff, healing, and cleansing, Eula can deal more damage while being protected on the field.
As for Zhongli, he has an amazing shield, Burst, crowd control, and he also reduces enemies' resistance. Match him with anyone and he'll perfectly fit.

Bennett and Zhongli are two of the best supports in Genshin Impact. They can fit into any team and provide top-tier support. Eula is no exception.
Ganyu or Rosaria
Both Cryo units can make Cryo Resonance with Eula. While Ganyu is best used as a main DPS, she can also be a great support. Ganyu's Elemental Burst deals massive damage and can have a 100% uptime. It will make enemies affected by Cryo in a decent AOE.
Similar to Diona, Rosaria can also be a great battery for Eula. Rosaria's skill actually generates a decent amount of energy, better than Diona and Ganyu. Not only that, but players can also use Favonius Lance on Rosaria for more generated Energy through the weapon's passive. Kaeya can also take the role of a battery.
