It's not really a secret, I use the same character, same Pfp, I have the same voice. This channel just exists to make more high quality videos, while my main channel exists for rants
Not really no it wasn't , before fontaine it was mainly a support element , there was no strong hydro DPS , even tartagila is kinda DPS and driver so both xianling and him deals damage , now mualani and neuvellite are both S tier DPS
It's funny how Xingqiu was everpresent during Genshin's whole run until Neuvillete and Furina came around Not even Yelan was able to get the 1 up over him until Furina released
This made me realize something Our last hydro 4 star unit.... Was Candace. The only other Hydro 4 stars are Xingqiu and Barbara. You'd think with Fontaine we'd get a handful of new hydro 4 stars, guess not
People have this weird expectation that a region associated with a specific element (due to their archons) will release a surplus of that specific element, when in reality Genshin has never done this, with the exception of Sumeru. And it was only done with Sumeru because it literally introduced the dendro element. Seriously, tamper your expectations.
@@user-ot4ly9dp1c If you ignore 1.x versions which released many new characters for obvious reasons and debuted both liyue and mondastat, then yes, region versions release more than average units of their type. Not counting 5.x yet since obv it just started: Inazuma's 2.x released 4. Average is 2.6 Sumaru's 3.x released 8. Fontaine only released 1. Fontaine's 4.x released 3. Average is 2.6. Obviously 3 regions isn't a large sample size, but yes, there does tend to be a trend. If you wanted to count 1.x as mondastat & liyue, yes, it did also release the most anemo and geo units as well, but that goes without saying since it released so many units in general, so I don't really count it.
I must say that saving for C2 Furina and her weapon was the best decision i've made in this game. Second best was saving for C2 Nahida and getting her weapon. You can literally put Baizhu at C0 with prototype amber and put only EM things on Raiden to get her to 1000+ EM and this game's battle content is simply erased. The only more devastating combo is putting Neuvillette in party instead of Baizhu.
Even without Neuvillette, a monohydro team with Kokomi, Furina, Yelan and Kazuha is crazy and one of my strongest team, it's ridiculous ! No wonder why Hydro is the most expansive element with the most 5 star characters in proportion.
The title made me wheeze, didn't expect you to actually go with what I commented in the cryo video lolol. And as if Hydro needed any new units, we got Mualani. Although definitely not as game breaking, she has insane potential and with the fixes next patch, and when the Pyro Archon releases, I do believe she will be the best hydro DPS in the Natlan Arc, at least in terms of damage. Comfort wise Neuvi will be unbeatable but as someone that has both, I love the options.

I like hydro being the best because pyro effects make me feel dry and unsatisfied.

I can’t take it anymore. I’m sick of Neuvillette. I try to play Childe. My Neuvillette deals more damage. I try to play Ayato, his charge attack deals more damage. I want to play Furina, her best team has Neuvillette. I want to play Xiangling, Fischl - they both want Neuvillette. He grabs me by the throat. I water for him. I drink for him. I give him Prototype Amber. He isn’t satisfied. I pull Sacrificial Jade. “I don’t need this much crit rate.” He tells me. “Give me more HP.” He grabs Furina and forces her to throw herself off enemies. “You just need to give me more fanfare stacks. I can deal more damage with Tome and C6.” I can’t pull for Tome or cons, I don’t have enough primogems. He grabs my credit card. It declines. “Guess this is time for the Oratrice Mechanique D’Analyse Cardinal” He grabs the Oratrice Mechanique D’Analyse Cardinal. He says “Its Oratrice time.” There is no hint of hydro in his eyes. Nothing but pure, on field hydro hose damage. What a cruel world.
Excellent analysis as always. Sumeru is actually my favorite patch in part because it gave me my favorite reactions - all involved hydro and dendro (Bloom, Hyper Bloom and Burgeon). I still prefer those reactions to this day and as you said: Furina even makes those reactions better. So Hydro keeps on winning. :)
I joined a while later (1.4) but I still remember playing Kaeya, Zhongli, Barbara and Bennett because I had no idea Bennett healed and I always forgor to refresh Zhongli's shield 💀 Kaeya was physical btw
I do fully believe that the only reason hydro became as promident as it did was because they didn't want Bennett to be the end all be all support I think it was Ayato who really started the trend of scaling off everything but atk and as hydro was the easiest to excuse them working with hp given that hydro was the "support" and "healing" element it worked This got even more promident with dendro having a reaction with hydro and as neither used atk they were perfect to not have Bennett Now with Fontain they did have a lot lf hydro characters but the few characters they weren't hydro immediately latched onto Bennett i think proves that hydro really only grew as it did just to avoid him and they did for nearly 2 years
what the hell i genuinely thought you were like a 40k channel when i clicked. i've watched a couple vids and then i realized those are the ONLY videos and you have like 1k subs. your vids are REALLY good man keep it up.
Lol, thanks mate. I have been making content for years, across a few channels, I just wanted to try something different which resulted in this channel. I'm glad you like the content
Omg finally a content creator who doesn't "over-praise" kokomi. As a day 1 Ayaka main it's always annoyed me how people were overcompensating for her hate saying actually she's so good and anazing. She's a cope option for freeze. She was basically just usable but her kit was kinda ass for it. And the only reason to even use her is bcs shenhe replaced diona, so no healer. Pre-Dendro Kokomi was not good. Not terrible but not good
Good video, in fact I sometimes still using barbruh on Nilou's bountiful core team, not to mention that there was a stupid bug in exactly 3.0 release where Barbara's hydro application for bloom was so busted that it might as well comparable to Nilou's enhanced bloom version lol, which is funny considering that there's only three existing Dendro in patch 3.0: Dendro traveler, Collei and Tighnari (and one is mainly used for Quicken until now, unless Furina's automated slaughter turrets are activated) Also I imagine the anemo highlight video to be "the ever-floating existence of Anemo" Featuring of how Xiao's getting stacked upgrades EVEN DURING FONTAINE PATCHES, despite his body length never get stacked (I think that meme makes me sad about Xiao's body length getting sadder than anything considering Dan Heng Imbibitior Lunae in Mihoyo's other game is complete design upgrade overall lol)
One of my favorite, if not a bit more niche use for Furina, is a full archon team, currently consisting of Raiden, Nahida, Furina, and Zhongli. What I like about that team is simply how easy it is to play, cuz I can just use the skill of each character once, and their kits combined create a half decent auto battle team. Is it meta enough to work for the spiral abyss? Technically it is usable, but it certainly isn’t top meta, but what it is, is a fun team for exploration, cuz if some nuisance decides to attack you, and you don’t really feel like putting in the effort to beat it, you can just let the game do the battle for you. It’s also good for cheesing local legends. This team is only possible in this way, because Furina’s skill works its magic automatically, and follows you around, and I don’t think people realize how that changes things in terms of how we can use hydro. Sure, we have Kokomi, who can work decently in an auto team like this, but it doesn’t follow you around, which makes things slightly more cumbersome, plus Furina is simply more focused in targeting, which in the current meta is way better than Kokomi’s aoe.
I dont enjoy hydro but I enjoy childe/tartaglia mainly because of his duel wielding hence why I pulled chiori😀 didnt hoyo said they were gonna try not to make hp scaling chars during fontiane???💀
I can confirm bloom is a really good elemental reaction. Being able to proc Kirara's skill followed up by Ayato triggering his skill and/or burst to do big damage is one of the most satisfying things to experience in combat
It's a sort of tradition of mine to wonder on just how bad the next elemental MC will be. Pyro Traveler is next, and the last will be Cryo. I guess now I understand that they had to make Hydro Traveler sooo bad in order to ensure he was not going to be as useful as Dendro Traveler.
I feel like he left out another reason for Hydro's stacked pros because he forgot to mention ease of use and utility. His example of Kokomi being meh seems to stem from the damage she could either buff or deal when her entire kit revolves around more on enabling like Childe. Upon release, people underestimated how comfy she was to play in tazer teams whether it was Fischl, Kazuha, Xinqiu, Beidou, Raiden, or Sara. Her hydro makes her an amazing driver for teams in abyss that needed stuns for waves of enemies that couldn't get cc'd at the time. Sure you were not getting crazy damage but the rotations were so braindead easy that it makes up for with consistency. Not to mention how she was very much an easy free to play character with so many great options for weapons and Tenacity being viable options for her. And with dendro's release, it made every Hydro character viable for the simple fact that Hyperbloom is super easy for newer players to build. A lot of people always talk about damage potential with Hydro but they also forget how easily accessible they are as an element to build any efficient team with. Thats why I feel like another reason why Neuvilette is good is because his ease of use is what makes him trump over Mualani's objectively higher damage potential too.
I didn’t mind they released two good hydro on Fontaine I just wish they gave gave similar treatment to liyue with Zhongli being the only good geo and the other popular one is yelan who’s also hydro, pyro girl is coming soon and it’s almost confirmed she’s a much needed off field pyro supplier but she’s archon so a rare banner to pull
The Kokomi slander is unreal. She's good in tazer, mono hydro and BIS in freeze 😭. But maybe I think she's op cause I am too lazy to try a single spiral abyss without her. She's very easy to use as an enabler for off field dps just cause of healing aoe hydro hyper armor and all you got to do is press left click and sleep.
Nah bro i didn't say she was horrible, I said she was good, she just wasn't great. She did not hold a candle to the other hydro units I think kokomi is one of if not the most doom posted units in genshin.
She’s the character I use the most in the game. I believe it’s just dependent on play style or experience. To me Kokomi driver teams are the best teams in the game but I doubt there is that many that would agree.
@@Mr_Leech_HGCyeah she is the most doomposted character till date, but that's mainly because no one knew what a character who can't crit can do. Some TC's already knew how effective she is and will be in future because no other character had or have the wide AOE hydro application in e in the game which also gives immense healing. But by the time itto released, I think many people started to realize how much comfort she gives.
@@komgoo4974I agree with you lol. She is my most used character in abyss in every phase since she released lol. I just can't go to an abyss without her. I just became too dependant on her. If I don't bring koko, I automatically get a feeling that I'd miss out on 36 stars. I have Soooooooo much room for mistakes with her. I don't have that with any other characters. And my favorite team to use in abyss is actually kokomi driving mono hydro with furina, kachina and sucrose. It's so comfortable to use. Furina e, kachina e, kokomi e, sucrose e e q, kachina q, furina q, kokomi q and then destruction
sooooooo what I have just learned is that neuvillette and furina are the reason I still can't 36 star the abyss? because the bosses had to get hp literally into the millions to account for these two on top of all their resistances and all those frames where the boss can't take damage? (ar 56 and still struggling to get through floor 12 and this is my copium)
I'd have to see account specifics to know exactly what's wrong brother, this is the time of thing you'd wanna join the discord for. It's likely you are just allocating resource in the wrong spots
@@Mr_Leech_HGC oh it definitely is bad resource management 😂 Just nice to plug my ears and pretend it's something else for a little bit to blow off steam, I'm fully aware this is a me problem tho I think I caught this right after failing for the gazzilionth time to get one of the floor 12 chambers done with two stars and was ready to be mad
tbh at ar 56 few people are able to do it, mostly because your characters aren't fully equipped. You don't need Furina and Neuvillette, just good investement, just take your time and do 1 character at the time, it's the best way to progress ;) play for fun not for primo
Minor thing about hyperbloom and demdro reactions in general, they are good at low investment levels but gets significantly worse as investment goes up. Hence why most top clears dont include many dendro teams. So its not all that overpowered as some people think. Also, even after all these buffs, hoyo decided why not release another broken unit and released Mualani, who is even more broken than Neuvilette. The hydro bias is real.
Now to wait for electro the mid the rise and fall to mid As on release we had good but not great for the time beidou and fischl and Keqing was okay for a patch. Then electro charged got buffed then raiden then Hyperbloom and aggravate saved electro until post Fontaine dps made the gains of aggravate and Hyperbloom dps less impressive relatively. It isn't in a bad place with clorinde and ororon being pretty good but not top of the list.
It might not really be a subject here, but Hydro now dominates another thing. The new Hydro unit Mualani currently dominates the speed-running meta at all costs of investment and currently, her teams are absolutely gutted. Xiangling only applies Pyro, basically does no damage since no Bennett and you build 250+ ER. Kazuha is a hit or miss since swirling hydro is clunky and has multiwave issues, and long animations, even Sucrose is better than him for Mualani. The Hydro partner is also a topic of discussion, you basically have Candace as a great hydro partner or Furina which is eh because she steals vapes. Now imagine how strong she’ll be with a proper best in slot team.
I love Mualani, but really can't settle on a definite team for her😂 I constantly swap between Xiangling Sucrose Zhongli to Nahida Dehya Zhongli to Candace Sucrose Xiangling😂
Hydro itself is such a broken element that I'd argue that even some of its worst characters are at least competent. Not to mention that, yeah... someof the best characters in the game are hydro both because of the element and also I guess hoyo likes making the water people busted.
I’d argue Kokomi was really good at release considering she was immediately the best at Ayaka freeze and made Morgana easier to achieve. Also, if you didn’t have Zhongli then your life was fine with Kokomi. Especially since corrosion came one patch later.💀
Morgana freeze had fallen off by then, sadly. Most enemies on the inazuna roster where immune to CC, it wasn't until the release of sumeru did they revert this change
I remember upon release, people trashed Koko due to 1 reason only, she can't crit. In a game where the difficulty is a time gated run with no hard hitting enemies, no survivability needed for a full healer and we already have Barbara for free, no wonder she was bad. But then she aged like fine wine, she's still in most of my comfort teams, and kokomi taser is the most braindead team for me
No sigewine mention ig we don't talk about her 😢 But yea finally someone said it i am tired of people who said anemo was the strongest elment before hydro like no it was always hydro and the hydo characters are designed with good app unlike pyro ig that's a trait for the hydro elment only
Hydro is so op that cryo became a dead element simply because hydro left it and it cant have any use of it these days Man, neuvillette is the best DPS Yelan the best off field Xinqiu best applicator Kokomi best healer Nilou best reaction trigger ( dendro related ) And the hydro archon herself furina cant just move out without taking all the aspects of the other hydro characters. Good healing when needed Mega super incredibly high off field DPS Good applications Unimaginably strong buff
I have friends just startin genshin and I'm realizing that the lack of 4* really hurts players. Barbara is so fucking mid even in early game compared to the amount of 4* we have now a day. Candace can't be built till Sumeru desert and even then she's mid at best. As a Xingqiu main of 4 years he's the best 4* hydro all arounder : heals, hydro application, decent physical dmg, and hydro off-fielder. He's such a good hydro 4* but if you don't have him early game or any other 5* hydro tbh, you're cooked As good as hydro is the 4* need to balance out as well
Look here my opinion 1. Hu Tao is my girl 2.Elctro is my wife(most character lvl on that element) 3.Geo is the Goat 4.Hydro is the coolest element 5.F anemo/Cryo/Dendro😂😂😂
I don't think that Furina is as strong as you think she is. Yes she is very strong but that comes at a price: you need a good healer who can heal the whole team. The best healer in the game is without a doubt bennet, and he does not work all that well with furina. It works in quickswap comps but hypercarry teams won't get furinas full buff.
Man spent 13:21 glazing over how good is hydro without mentioning Yelan. While that does show how good the element is ,I will not stand for this slander. To make up for it you now have to make a video about just Yelan.

I joined a while later (1.4) but I still remember playing Kaeya, Zhongli, Barbara and Bennett because I had no idea Bennett healed and I always forgor to refresh Zhongli's shield 💀 Kaeya was physical btw
When I thought "ER useless on Xiangling I want more damage"
I do fully believe that the only reason hydro became as promident as it did was because they didn't want Bennett to be the end all be all support
I think it was Ayato who really started the trend of scaling off everything but atk and as hydro was the easiest to excuse them working with hp given that hydro was the "support" and "healing" element it worked
This got even more promident with dendro having a reaction with hydro and as neither used atk they were perfect to not have Bennett
Now with Fontain they did have a lot lf hydro characters but the few characters they weren't hydro immediately latched onto Bennett i think proves that hydro really only grew as it did just to avoid him and they did for nearly 2 years

I'm glad you like the content
RIP, no mention of the hydro queen Yelan
He literally mentions her at 10:07.
@@BloodReaper95 Allow me to amend my statement, ahem “RIP, no segment for the hydro queen Yelan”
I was going to do a segment for her, i actually recorded one. But it was just a repeat of what I said for Xingqiu so i cut it.
Omg finally a content creator who doesn't "over-praise" kokomi. As a day 1 Ayaka main it's always annoyed me how people were overcompensating for her hate saying actually she's so good and anazing. She's a cope option for freeze. She was basically just usable but her kit was kinda ass for it. And the only reason to even use her is bcs shenhe replaced diona, so no healer. Pre-Dendro Kokomi was not good. Not terrible but not good
Fuck you. Kokomi was good. You just have a small mind.
i love ur videos sm ur rants r exactly what i need while i do my daily activities
Hydro is so OP we only have three 4* hydro characters to this day. Rest of them are 5*
Good video, in fact I sometimes still using barbruh on Nilou's bountiful core team, not to mention that there was a stupid bug in exactly 3.0 release where Barbara's hydro application for bloom was so busted that it might as well comparable to Nilou's enhanced bloom version lol, which is funny considering that there's only three existing Dendro in patch 3.0: Dendro traveler, Collei and Tighnari (and one is mainly used for Quicken until now, unless Furina's automated slaughter turrets are activated)
Also I imagine the anemo highlight video to be "the ever-floating existence of Anemo"
Featuring of how Xiao's getting stacked upgrades EVEN DURING FONTAINE PATCHES, despite his body length never get stacked (I think that meme makes me sad about Xiao's body length getting sadder than anything considering Dan Heng Imbibitior Lunae in Mihoyo's other game is complete design upgrade overall lol)
One of my favorite, if not a bit more niche use for Furina, is a full archon team, currently consisting of Raiden, Nahida, Furina, and Zhongli.
What I like about that team is simply how easy it is to play, cuz I can just use the skill of each character once, and their kits combined create a half decent auto battle team.
Is it meta enough to work for the spiral abyss? Technically it is usable, but it certainly isn’t top meta, but what it is, is a fun team for exploration, cuz if some nuisance decides to attack you, and you don’t really feel like putting in the effort to beat it, you can just let the game do the battle for you. It’s also good for cheesing local legends.
This team is only possible in this way, because Furina’s skill works its magic automatically, and follows you around, and I don’t think people realize how that changes things in terms of how we can use hydro. Sure, we have Kokomi, who can work decently in an auto team like this, but it doesn’t follow you around, which makes things slightly more cumbersome, plus Furina is simply more focused in targeting, which in the current meta is way better than Kokomi’s aoe.
Well, water is the source and origin of life, and the vital fuild that sustains human life, so it makes sense that it's the best element 🤣
I love nilou sm y’all NO REGRETS 😫🙏🙏
I dont enjoy hydro but I enjoy childe/tartaglia mainly because of his duel wielding hence why I pulled chiori😀
didnt hoyo said they were gonna try not to make hp scaling chars during fontiane???💀
I'm surprised you didn't mention Mualani considered she's now the best single target dps in the game 🦈.
Also Nilou and Yelan.
Next one should be Rise, Fall and Fall of pyro 😂
Hopefully with the release of Mavuika we'll see a resurgence of Tartaglia.
they could not possibly make hydro even more broken that this right...
Meanwhile: Neuvillette with furina and kazuha on their way to kidnap xilonen.
I can confirm bloom is a really good elemental reaction. Being able to proc Kirara's skill followed up by Ayato triggering his skill and/or burst to do big damage is one of the most satisfying things to experience in combat
I do not regret saving for over 2 years for C6R5 Furina. Love her and hydro!
i feel like Mihoyo love Hydro than any Element
Now Xilonen making neuv hit 100k+
Something is rising and it is full of water
I am here 0 minutes I LOVE HYDROOOO
This is like an overview of the whole genshin evolution, wow, i understand the game better now 😮
It's a sort of tradition of mine to wonder on just how bad the next elemental MC will be. Pyro Traveler is next, and the last will be Cryo. I guess now I understand that they had to make Hydro Traveler sooo bad in order to ensure he was not going to be as useful as Dendro Traveler.
Tfw no glazing Yelan, Sigewinne and hydro traveler, Ayato.
your editing has gotten so good
My initial experience with Xingqiu back in 1.0 was using his skill once, seeing the cooldown, and immediately benching him 😂
I feel like he left out another reason for Hydro's stacked pros because he forgot to mention ease of use and utility. His example of Kokomi being meh seems to stem from the damage she could either buff or deal when her entire kit revolves around more on enabling like Childe. Upon release, people underestimated how comfy she was to play in tazer teams whether it was Fischl, Kazuha, Xinqiu, Beidou, Raiden, or Sara. Her hydro makes her an amazing driver for teams in abyss that needed stuns for waves of enemies that couldn't get cc'd at the time. Sure you were not getting crazy damage but the rotations were so braindead easy that it makes up for with consistency. Not to mention how she was very much an easy free to play character with so many great options for weapons and Tenacity being viable options for her. And with dendro's release, it made every Hydro character viable for the simple fact that Hyperbloom is super easy for newer players to build.
A lot of people always talk about damage potential with Hydro but they also forget how easily accessible they are as an element to build any efficient team with. Thats why I feel like another reason why Neuvilette is good is because his ease of use is what makes him trump over Mualani's objectively higher damage potential too.
ARe YOY PLAYING COLOR YOUr nighT IN THE BAKCGROUND. also fire videos :33 i love watching people yap about random genshin related things 💙
Been recently enjoying your videos. Feed me more content
I didn’t mind they released two good hydro on Fontaine I just wish they gave gave similar treatment to liyue with Zhongli being the only good geo and the other popular one is yelan who’s also hydro, pyro girl is coming soon and it’s almost confirmed she’s a much needed off field pyro supplier but she’s archon so a rare banner to pull
Madame ping on her way to buff hydro even more
The Kokomi slander is unreal. She's good in tazer, mono hydro and BIS in freeze 😭. But maybe I think she's op cause I am too lazy to try a single spiral abyss without her. She's very easy to use as an enabler for off field dps just cause of healing aoe hydro hyper armor and all you got to do is press left click and sleep.
Nah bro i didn't say she was horrible, I said she was good, she just wasn't great. She did not hold a candle to the other hydro units
I think kokomi is one of if not the most doom posted units in genshin.
@@komgoo4974 she's decent, but kokomi mains would have you think she's the best thing since sliced bread.
She’s the character I use the most in the game. I believe it’s just dependent on play style or experience. To me Kokomi driver teams are the best teams in the game but I doubt there is that many that would agree.
@@Mr_Leech_HGCyeah she is the most doomposted character till date, but that's mainly because no one knew what a character who can't crit can do. Some TC's already knew how effective she is and will be in future because no other character had or have the wide AOE hydro application in e in the game which also gives immense healing. But by the time itto released, I think many people started to realize how much comfort she gives.
@@komgoo4974I agree with you lol. She is my most used character in abyss in every phase since she released lol. I just can't go to an abyss without her. I just became too dependant on her. If I don't bring koko, I automatically get a feeling that I'd miss out on 36 stars. I have Soooooooo much room for mistakes with her. I don't have that with any other characters. And my favorite team to use in abyss is actually kokomi driving mono hydro with furina, kachina and sucrose. It's so comfortable to use. Furina e, kachina e, kokomi e, sucrose e e q, kachina q, furina q, kokomi q and then destruction
sooooooo what I have just learned is that neuvillette and furina are the reason I still can't 36 star the abyss? because the bosses had to get hp literally into the millions to account for these two on top of all their resistances and all those frames where the boss can't take damage?
(ar 56 and still struggling to get through floor 12 and this is my copium)
I'd have to see account specifics to know exactly what's wrong brother, this is the time of thing you'd wanna join the discord for.
It's likely you are just allocating resource in the wrong spots
@@Mr_Leech_HGC oh it definitely is bad resource management 😂 Just nice to plug my ears and pretend it's something else for a little bit to blow off steam, I'm fully aware this is a me problem tho
I think I caught this right after failing for the gazzilionth time to get one of the floor 12 chambers done with two stars and was ready to be mad
tbh at ar 56 few people are able to do it, mostly because your characters aren't fully equipped. You don't need Furina and Neuvillette, just good investement, just take your time and do 1 character at the time, it's the best way to progress ;) play for fun not for primo
And then Mualani was released
did he skip over yelan or am i tripping
Minor thing about hyperbloom and demdro reactions in general, they are good at low investment levels but gets significantly worse as investment goes up. Hence why most top clears dont include many dendro teams. So its not all that overpowered as some people think.
Also, even after all these buffs, hoyo decided why not release another broken unit and released Mualani, who is even more broken than Neuvilette.
The hydro bias is real.
Hoyo benching cryo video when? Lol, just salty about that as a Wriothesley fan. Anyway, good video man
12:49 then we got Forward Vaping Mulani in Natlan
Now to wait for electro the mid the rise and fall to mid As on release we had good but not great for the time beidou and fischl and Keqing was okay for a patch. Then electro charged got buffed then raiden then Hyperbloom and aggravate saved electro until post Fontaine dps made the gains of aggravate and Hyperbloom dps less impressive relatively. It isn't in a bad place with clorinde and ororon being pretty good but not top of the list.
i'm suprised you didn't talk about yelan
It might not really be a subject here, but Hydro now dominates another thing.
The new Hydro unit Mualani currently dominates the speed-running meta at all costs of investment and currently, her teams are absolutely gutted.
Xiangling only applies Pyro, basically does no damage since no Bennett and you build 250+ ER.
Kazuha is a hit or miss since swirling hydro is clunky and has multiwave issues, and long animations, even Sucrose is better than him for Mualani.
The Hydro partner is also a topic of discussion, you basically have Candace as a great hydro partner or Furina which is eh because she steals vapes.
Now imagine how strong she’ll be with a proper best in slot team.
I love Mualani, but really can't settle on a definite team for her😂 I constantly swap between Xiangling Sucrose Zhongli to Nahida Dehya Zhongli to Candace Sucrose Xiangling😂
Pyro archon coming to save her daughter @@naotonhan5253
You think hydro couldn't get any stronger insert the hyrdo dragon and the Furina beast combo
Hydro = Anemo but after Dendro it became Hydro > Anemo = Dendro while Geo left in the ditch screw balancing said hoyo
Cool 👍
Play balance of the element by making it to where it's near impossible to get a four star
My Waifu Furina in another video.
Hydro itself is such a broken element that I'd argue that even some of its worst characters are at least competent. Not to mention that, yeah... someof the best characters in the game are hydro both because of the element and also I guess hoyo likes making the water people busted.
I’d argue Kokomi was really good at release considering she was immediately the best at Ayaka freeze and made Morgana easier to achieve. Also, if you didn’t have Zhongli then your life was fine with Kokomi. Especially since corrosion came one patch later.💀
Morgana freeze had fallen off by then, sadly. Most enemies on the inazuna roster where immune to CC, it wasn't until the release of sumeru did they revert this change
I remember upon release, people trashed Koko due to 1 reason only, she can't crit. In a game where the difficulty is a time gated run with no hard hitting enemies, no survivability needed for a full healer and we already have Barbara for free, no wonder she was bad. But then she aged like fine wine, she's still in most of my comfort teams, and kokomi taser is the most braindead team for me
Ik ppl mean the hydro roster is good instead of the element itself but it’s still confusing
No sigewine mention ig we don't talk about her 😢
But yea finally someone said it i am tired of people who said anemo was the strongest elment before hydro like no it was always hydro and the hydo characters are designed with good app unlike pyro ig that's a trait for the hydro elment only
There's hydro characters then there's sigeweinne
Neuvilette's idle animation applies more hydro than her
This was released 12 days ago...
Soooo...what about Mualani??
Yet I still can’t clear floor 12 abyss 😭
Hydro is so op that cryo became a dead element simply because hydro left it and it cant have any use of it these days
Man, neuvillette is the best DPS
Yelan the best off field
Xinqiu best applicator
Kokomi best healer
Nilou best reaction trigger ( dendro related )
And the hydro archon herself furina cant just move out without taking all the aspects of the other hydro characters.
Good healing when needed
Mega super incredibly high off field DPS
Good applications
Unimaginably strong buff
Thanks for the typ i should get furina next then
please make a video about electro
Bro forgot yelan after ayato and before sumeru😢
I have friends just startin genshin and I'm realizing that the lack of 4* really hurts players. Barbara is so fucking mid even in early game compared to the amount of 4* we have now a day.
Candace can't be built till Sumeru desert and even then she's mid at best.
As a Xingqiu main of 4 years he's the best 4* hydro all arounder : heals, hydro application, decent physical dmg, and hydro off-fielder. He's such a good hydro 4* but if you don't have him early game or any other 5* hydro tbh, you're cooked
As good as hydro is the 4* need to balance out as well
queen yelan robbed..
except... Candache.
Yet another w vid
How did bro not talk about Yelan ATL ALL?
really funny jow the only 4star since release is Candace and she is like... the only useless Hydro char in game
**cough** with how hydro MC is, they might as well be a three star.
@@anyaaa2801 man.... I legit forgor that Hydro MC exists
sigewinne is the only bad hydro 5 star
Look here my opinion
1. Hu Tao is my girl
2.Elctro is my wife(most character lvl on that element)
3.Geo is the Goat
4.Hydro is the coolest element
5.F anemo/Cryo/Dendro😂😂😂
I don't think that Furina is as strong as you think she is. Yes she is very strong but that comes at a price: you need a good healer who can heal the whole team. The best healer in the game is without a doubt bennet, and he does not work all that well with furina. It works in quickswap comps but hypercarry teams won't get furinas full buff.
hey man, learn to listen next time 11:30
