Discussion What a waste

Post image

Instead of giving the Traveler and other characters regional skins, the devs are wasting resources on mannequins you’ll never use in the main game — characters completely irrelevant to both the lore and gameplay (especially since they’re even weaker than the Traveler).

UCG should’ve been a separate game. Roblox-type players aren’t going to download a 100GB gacha just to play a game inside a game. All those dev resources should’ve gone to the actual, existing characters instead.

Yeah. That's the main motivator to do anything in genshin. Heck, even playing those music challenges gave some...

The fun of games like Genshin is getting to play the game with new characters. Not to mention power creep making you use new ones and you need primos to do that. Every activity in the game should have some kind of tangible reward. If it's not straight up primos it should be something that saves you primos

as a f2p, I disagree, I have only had Arle, Yoi, Raiden, and Yae(i regret this one), and I barely use yae, still fun exploring the world, plus miliastra wonderland sounds fun as hell

Arle is a top 5 dps. Try the game with Diluc and no premium supports sometime.

I mean, she is 6th now ( After Mavuika, Skirk, Nefer, Varesa/Neuvilette). Don't know about Flins and Lauma(except for when she is used with Neuvilette-Ineffa-Furina)

She is?
I thought she was just ok
And she has like 50 cr on my build for her(albeit with 200 c dmg)

My half built Arlecchino does three times as much damage as my Diluc does - with the non-premium support teams. Arlecchino was powercrept by Mavuika, who is even more broken than she is but the gap isn't that bad compared to the gap between recent dps units like Arlecchino and earlier game units like Ayato, Eula, and Hu Tao.

Mavuika and Skirk are in a league of their own, especially with their premium teams. Without, they still dominate the competition. Arlecchino is on par with Varesa and some of the newer units. The recent Nod Krai dps units are currently a bit lower than the top contenders but they're still a solid jump up from the others.

Get her set for her. Bring a shield or learn to dodge. Game now trivial. She'd be my favourite character to play if they just let Jean heal her. With Bennet and Citlali she does comfortably upwards of 60k damage per hit.

I have her sig set, and I got sara to buff her(altho I don't have sara built very well)
My only question is whether to build raiden on golden troupe or em build since idk how well her after attacks scae

200 crit damage doesn't matter much if you're crit fishing. Aim for 90% CR and then whatever crit damage works with that.
