Golden Troupe 4pc	Elemental Skill DMG +25% (off-field) / +45% (on-field).	Good for quickswap playstyle, weaker for sustained on-field
2pc ATK% + 2pc Geo DMG / 2pc Skill DMG	Mixed bonuses.	Transitional option, easier to farm

Key Constellations

Constellation	Effect	Verdict
C1	Consuming Shrapnel reduces Elemental Burst CD and restores Energy.	✦ Energy comfort — lowers ER requirements significantly
C2	Consuming Shrapnel grants CRIT Rate (max +36%) to Skill. Skill hit triggers Burst damage.	⭐ Core — massive CRIT Rate boost, enables consistent burst
C3	Elemental Skill level +3.	✦ Numeric — direct damage increase
C4	Elemental Burst hits reduce enemy Geo RES by 20%.	⭐ Excellent support constellation for Geo teams
C5	Elemental Burst level +3.	◆ Minor improvement
C6	Beyond 3 Shrapnel stacks, each grants +45% CRIT DMG to Skill. Excess stacks returned after Skill.	⭐⭐⭐ Transformation — massive damage ceiling increase

Recommendation: C0 is fully functional. C2 and C6 are major power spikes. However, investing in support constellations (like Furina C1/C2 or Xilonen C2) may yield greater team-wide improvements.
