    This video is meant to highlight that Calcharo’s flaws are overly exaggerated by the community and we are partly to blame for his nerf during the closed beta due to the excessive hype but he can still clear every content in the game as long as you play him right.
    Also for the Calcharo and Xiangli yao showcase, they are both running 2 piece lingering tunes and void thunder.

    Gather together my Calcium bros. Write in each feedback survey about Calcharo and let Kuro know that we still care about him, his companion story and his gameplay >:'c
    It's nice to see more CCs talking without a biased gaze about Calcharo -cough stioorg and Saintontas cough- . Yes, he do has problems, we can't deny the facts, but there are ways to vastly improve his gameplay and characters with high skill ceilings like him are necessary in the game

      Not really. His kit, in reality, is pretty simple (not at the same level as Jinhsi, Jiyan or Xiangli of course), but you have to learn his tricks to improve his performance as much as you can, more than any character in the game. That's why many players say he has the highest skill ceiling in the game

    • @asteriskonline3494
      @asteriskonline3494 День тому +2

      A character where you need a specialized trick to perform at base level is high skill floor.
      A 3DM Calcharo perfect quickswap is still slightly below a Hypercarry Encore w/ Sanhua. It is bad for him.

  • @abhiss6705
    @abhiss6705 2 дні тому +25

    The good thing about this game is that once they add him to illusive realm and give his base kit a shakeup , a lot of people will latch on and enjoy him to the fullest.....
    They just need to own him , and give him a half decent broadsword and baam , you can enjoy a run or two as our resident sephiroth.
    In most other gachas , chars just get left in the dust because of recency bias and other stuff. Ahem ahem hoyoverse games ....
    Imagine his kit chaining normals and DMs with another echo in tandom.

    Calcharo has been my absolute main since the game's launch. I was hyped for him even before I started playing, and was over the moon when I pulled him off of the beginner banner. Even to this day I think he's awesome and one of the main reasons I enjoy Wuthering Waves. Testing him out as a Hypercarry or Dual DPS with Yangyang and Changli, clearing holograms, even the top floors of Tower of Adversity, he's just like anybody else: you just need the right team. I play tons of Xiangli Yao, and I admit that in many respects he is objectively better-- more skill translates to better performance only in an ideal world, so just being a harder character doesn't mean Calcharo gets to be better. And that's ok, if somebody can't play Calcharo, they don't need to announce to the world how bad he is.

    @rusty2636 16 годин тому +2

    Yeah but that's the thing, while i acknowledge that calcharo is not unusable as he often is portrayed to be. It is important to mention the ceiling for him to be useable at a level that other characters just exist at, Obviously Jiyan and jinhsi are just objectively better but then you look at other dps units that have lower skill ceilings and perform at calcharo's peak if not even better then him like Changli, Xiangli yao, encore or rover. He is certainly Useable and able to clear TOA but his placing in tierlists as a mid tier is Very much deserved and well placed as everyone above him is better, and everyone in his tier performs about the same.

  • @CamronSaltado
    @CamronSaltado День тому +2

    I'm definitely in the minority and you got me spot on I love DMC. Cilantro also reminds me a lot of the Hunter class from Phantasy Star Online 2(base game, not new genesis). Their weapons were very slow but could pump out some good damage. You had to learn how to dodge, parry and learn boss fights to know when your best windows for attacking were. Extremely satisfying to play. So for me Coriander is a natural fit since I enjoy high skill ceiling game play. His "slow animations" are super over exaggerated and have never been a problem for me even at day 1. But the thing is people aren't going to give him his flowers because the gacha market is inherently casual and gacha players for the most part want instant gratification. I've been playing gacha games for years and any game that isn't just auto play, these complaints flood in. Unfortunately this is a battle that can't be won.
    Please tell me people don't genuinely believe that spamming basic attacks should make you able to parry. I want to believe that this is not a real complaint...the game literally teaches you in the beginning that parries have a window. I don't say this often but that is just not valid. This is basic game sense. This is what Jiyan does to people LOL. If true, that re-affirms my statement on gacha players.

    The activation effect of his skills are basically sh*t . like you need first to trigger his forte effect before going liberation which is basically took to much of time and add those activation effect from t.m. which will take you almost 10secs and leave you around 4 secs to maximixe the dmg of liberation. The if you have to activate damage boost from your sub dps theres almost no way you get the maximu. dmg output of the team with calch as main dps.

    There is no doubt that dmg wise calcharo is on the same lvl as the other dps (except Jinhsi) but with how high his skill floor is (really short burst duration), how bad his QoL is (lengthy animations with no res to interruption, even if yes swap cancel exists) and his technical issues (resonance skill not giving forte sometimes, not being able to get forte from the attack following a dodge...) he ends up not being worth it for most players.
    Tbh if it was "only" a case of being challenging to play he would be quite loved like danjin but he has so many flaws while he doesn’t really reward playing him successfully as his dmg is merely on par with the other 5 stars dps.

    People whining about Calcharo have skill issues. Even with nerfs he still can 3 stars TOA

    His e is lame, his mercy is lame, his inherent skill is also lame and you have to work your ass off to fit 4 DMs in a tight 10s ult duration.
    And a dodge will ruin everything.
    Basically, he is the symbol of “work harder, not smarter”
