      Lycaon was the first 5-star I got in that game and, at the time, I wasn't a fan because he felt clunky and awkward. Then I paired him with Soukaku (the blue oni girl) and Corrin (the maid with the chainsaw who can't stop crying) and _holy moly!_
      If nothing else, that extra Stun damage is no joke.

      ​@gag8763 at least you have a stronger Ellen. I've lost 1 to Koleda and the 2nd was guaranteed to be Ellen. The worst part is from the standard banner, I got Nekomata, The Restrained(Lycaon's W engine) and Fusion Compiler(Grace's W engine). I cry myself to sleep every night knowing I am missing so much. I mean, the W engine for Lycaon means I would be able to get his max potential when I get him but I'm still sad that I got Grace's W engine since I don't use anomaly characters.

    It feels like they intended several characters to be played with the gameplan of "break the boss's toughness bar with the rest of your team and then unload character X's full combo while they're stunned." The problem is any DPS can do that, so a DPS that only does that is substandard.

    The thing about Lingyang against other DPS is that Lingyang is very dependent on his combo and is greedy in on-field time. He's also uncomfortable because he can't quickswap but this is not much of a problem for me. This is what I noticed as a Lingyang main. The only reason why he's pretty mid is because of his damage multipliers but otherwise, he's very fun to play and pretty easy to learn. I also noticed that he's very comfortable to use in mobile and his outro skill damage is crazy. If you're only interested in Meta, then by all means don't pull nor use him unless he gets a significant buff.

    I think Lingyang will get stronger as time goes on, but he won’t be meta ever. I think his biggest weakness is that there isn’t a shielder aside from Jianxin, who is anti synergistic with him because she takes his much needed field time away. If we get a Zhongli type shielder, I’d imagine him to feel much better to play.

    While Kuro is more open in buffing their units, like how in PGR they buff existing units via leaps. In wuwa, they might take a more traditional gacha approach of fixing existing units by releasing another unit that might buff the character indirectly or straight up replace him/her with a new unit of similar playstyle. I actually think that wuwa is already embracing the latter approach of fixing units as we've seen with Xiangli Yao literally being Calcharo 2.0(I have a feeling that after Taoqi, Cal will be next in "Why no one plays" xD), because it is more financially beneficial. So with all that said above, there's a fat chance that Lingyang himself will get a buff to his kit, either kuro will release a support or sub-dps that synergizes with him well or straight up release an ice dps unit that replaces the jingle "deez nuts" beast, and we all know the latter will most likely happen xDD

    Oh yeah, further explanation on why mech abomination and the lingering tunes set is considered the current best set for him currently; Due to the way damage calc works, it’s better to have a good mix of high attack and ele dmg and Lingyang’s ultimate provides additional ele dmg for a duration, meaning gaining additional atk helps him more than additional stacking of ele dmg for him damage wise.

    They really got to add more echoes, echo set effects, characters, and weapons, which synergize more with his playstyle. Currently the only echo which really synergizes with his midair playstyle is the glacio dreadmane, but even then it lacks the damage and buffs of 4-cost echoes.

  • @magic_cfw
    @magic_cfw Місяць тому

    I do feel that Lingyang could fill the role of a "rusher" if that ever becomes a thing. I feel that Jinhsi, while sharing the "enchanced normals" feature, hers is more a buffer for her nuke, so she can't dump her forte immediately, as she is likely to die before she could pull it off. This is worsened by the fact she isn't that mobile in the air. As you had mentioned, anti-interruption should be baked into his kit, providing himself as a sticky DPS which can fight through things apart from hard CC, not necessarily a tank but can take chip damage and heal while in the reserve when your burst or support are doing their things. Effectively, they selling point is their ease of use and existing outside of the DPS rotation system.
    This brings into comparison you made with Rover and Danjin, as they focus on being on the field for longer and focusing on their basic attack chains. Rover and Danjin have means to restore their HP on the field, so when given forms of anti interruption (bell turtle or chadwu, etc) they can go ham. Lingyang does have skills which help him shorten his B. Attack chain, but he lacks the same ability to reliably sustain himself on the field that his kit builds him up to be.

    Actually the only standard character I don't own, and I'm pretty fine with that. Aside from basically breakdance fighting, there's nothing all that cool about him. Fun overworld pick perhaps, but not meta.
    Comparing the others:
    Verina, #1 character in the game, universal support fits on any team.
    Jianxin, worse Verina. Provides shields, which is arguably better than healing, and comes with crowd control, but feels slower and less reliable overall.
    Calcharo: Diluc in a Sephiroth cosplay, with Cyno burst. That's basically the whole kit. It's not strictly bad, even post nerf, but it can be incredibly difficult to get the maximum value from him.
    Encore: Annoying little kid, who happens to be everything we wanted Klee to be. Arguably competitive with limited 5 stars, but I personally am not a fan of her.

And it's not like they couldn't have leaned into it more, aventurine pretty much proved than yanqing just needed a more consistent shielder to support him and now he's nowhere NEAR as bad as launch.
