    Tldr: Powercreep is too fast and thus the value of a rerun DPS is being lowered drastically so much that whenever a DPS is rerun, it could be a sign that their time is up. This is the bad part. The ugly part is rerun of characters who are no longer relevant so almost nobody would care about them. Now, say what you will about Mihoyo buffing older characters be it for monetary reasons, it is still to the benefits of the players.

      Not only that but newer characters don't have terrible passives and traces in their kits like the 1.x characters do. Look at Blade's ascension traces for example and compare them to Mydei, you'll notice one thing, Mydei's traces aren't dogshit filler and actually make his kit strong. All of the old characters have these terrible traces that just do nothing but hold back their potential, not to mention their eidolons as well. The big difference is everything before 2.0 was MHY playing safe with how strong they wanted a character to be but since penacony they threw all that out the window.

    The funny thing about Jing Yuan is that at E0, Aglaea is quite a modest powercreep on average (she has higher highs, but also lower lows for casual players) and at E1 she no longer needs any specific harmony so she doesn't compete with him anymore. I am now running my two beautiful pale-haired lightning summon DPS wives on both sides of MOC and loving life. He really gets preferential treatment

      no e0 jing yuan is worse than aglaea e0 without sunday. sure aglaea crashes harder but its also because she performs at a higher level than jing yuan so its a higher fall... then we get to e1s0 aglaea vs e1s0 jingyuan which isnt even fair.

    • @waveman047
      @waveman047  15 годин тому +4

      the problem with reruns for newer players is cost, aglaeas vertical investment already makes her independent from sunday, jing yuans vertical investment is tied to his supports because his own eidolons arent good. which means you have to own the support first, which a new player probably cant do. but its not like you dont get much from aglaea if you invest on her supports instead, so it just gets worse for jingyuan at the start.
      for the same cost you get varying levels of difference.

    • @Pheonee

      ​@@waveman047 Oh of course she's better; what I mean is that because Aglaea is so feast or famine, at her worst (so in the hands of a player who lacks the gear or knowledge to maximise her) she is doing worse than a mediocre JY, who is much more idiot-proof by comparison. Naturally at her best she's running literal laps around him, but there are for sure accounts on whom Agy is only gonna be a small improvement or even not one at all, based on my testing and observations.

    The only downside to reruns in HSR is that the Game Modes are so biased towards whoever the hot new thing is that old characters are almost always too bad to use.
    And while I agree with the argument for pulling characters you like regardless of how good they are, I feel like there's a limit to how far that argument can go since even the biggest "Waifu >META" advocates will want to be able to use their favorite characters somewhere instead of just having them gather dust since there's nothing else to do with them in the game.

    Just to spit in Silver Wolf's cereal some more in Apocalyptic Shadow, not only does her brute force not work, but bosses like Kafka who share/split weaknesses actively work against Silver Wolf's kit.
    I remember bringing Silver Wolf once to a Kafka fight, with the intention of implanting fire weakness into her so my Asta could break faster (it was a rough point in my gameplay) except I implanted a weakness Kafka "naturally" has, because of how the game handles weakness sharing. Kafka actually has no innate weaknesses, and the game implants them onto her, meaning Silver Wolf has no form of guarantee against her unlike almost any other fight.

    • @yyny0

    • @GodofGoblins
      @GodofGoblins 13 годин тому

      The SW is one thing, but the Kafka and Sparkle sound fine to me. If you have a strong DOT team with a Black Swan, that should be strong enough for end game. Stats show it performs fine for end game content. I would know, I use Kafka and freaking Sampo for end game just fine, thanks to my Ruan Mei. And Sparkle? Yes Sunday is better, And Sparkle is still tier 1 and plenty strong. Even for Herta, she is fine if you dont have her Sig.
      I think the newer DPS and Support "pressure" is more for comfort. The new toy will always be strong and casually 0 cycle content, but that doesn't mean you "need" them. Hell Firefly is pretty old and to this day is still tier 0 and performing great. Her re-run passed too. And I dont gotta mention Feixiao; her re-run is passing and is still doing fantastic at tier 0. Now if it is someone like Blade? Yeah that is bait, I wont sugarcoat it. But as a f2p that comfortably beats end game, I never feel pressure to pick up the shiny new toys. Smart investment and planning will do you just fine; you just wont be casually 0 cycling or clicking auto battle.

    @MakoShiruba 17 годин тому +24

    I think the comparison between JY and Aglaea might not be as cut and dry as "she is just better", because for Older Players who invested in the Archetype JY follows, he just might be much more easier to farm, build and play than her. Aglaea also has to compete with the fact that almost all of the stuff she wants is "new". New Path means no actual Lightcone alternatives, memosprite doesn't benefit from Duke Set, so you have to pull the new one and the Ornament doesn't even benefit Memosprite. Never mind actually having to wait for her buddy Sunny to rerun sometime before a new Remembrance unit takes over OR JY gets another support/buff, like he always has. So her opportunity cost is huge, it's kind of whatever for new players who can just farm since 3.0 started and just focus on her, but getting older players to rebuild another unit from a NEW set is kind of daunting. Especially when you want to be optimal with her.
    "If you have a type" and yes, sometimes, is not even about people playing broken character every patch. Sometimes it's about people liking a Character. And for others, it might be a "playstyle/damage spread" that they like or enjoy.

      And also aglaea imo is kinda the same situation as jingyuan. Even jingyuan can do better than her. Energy requirement not that high, and his dmg on e0 still better and not that clunky to use. Aglaea is not that bad to opening remembrance part but for me she is somekind make me not wanting to pull for her.

    • @waveman047
      @waveman047  15 годин тому +10

      i used to think the lcs would push aglaea back until the calcs rolled in that aglaea has so much atk she can use the 3 star better than the 4 star lc (which is a cdmg stat stick, shows how good it is i guess), and even though banamusement doesnt work that well its still her bis. the question now comes if jing yuan is better with cheaper options.
      there may be some case to that but the floor of these units are so low that it doesnt matter anyway, both need sunday to do the bare minimum, they arent like acheron or therta who can frankenstein a team together and still can 3-4 cycle with cheap skate options (now at this point its not even about aglaea its about if jing yuan is even worth it over THE HERTA and its not a fair comparison). jingyuan and aglaea without sunday is a struggle to even 5 cycle.

    • @quaremoritor

      @ because Aglaea can use a Frankenstein team and sort of have a lower ceiling team with Bronya and Tingyun. Again, why I said "never mind...", because she can work on extreme budget scenarios, but JY can't. However, you probably have an acceptable JY set ready, while Aglaea can only work with the new one.

    • @waveman047
      @waveman047  12 годин тому +1

      aglaea can use 2pc. 2pc. spd combos that have crit rolls which many people have if they ever tried to build bronya, sparkle or sunday. any jing yuan team that cant use these sets plainly is just wrong. you can use leftover scholar pieces farming for sacredos for it's 2pc. too.
      aglaea's set isnt that strong actually, jing yuan relies on his duke set because its such a massive atk stat stick which is contrasted with sunday, but aglaea has so much atk it doesnt matter on her that she only cares about cdmg and spd boost from the 4pc relics, which is not high enough to be make or break with sunday's sacredos and other cdmg buffs diluting the pool.

    People really need to stop parroting this "Silver Wolf is bad because modern DPSes ignore weaknesses themselves" nonsense. Seriously, if Firefly for example didn't have Fire weakness implant, who would you drop from your team to make room for SW? You're not dropping Ruan Mei because that drops your damage output by half, and you're not dropping your superbreak enabler either because that way you lose even more damage.
    If there's even a single trashmob in an MOC floor that isn't weak to the element of your break DPS, you're not making room for Silver Wolf on your team. You're playing a different team altogether. If a crit DPS is allowed to crit enemies that aren't weak to their element, why shouldn't break DPSes be allowed to break?
    Silver Wolf isn't bad because "DPSes do it themselves", Silver Wolf is bad because her kit, and Nihility supports as a whole, are underpowered.

    I pulled Silver Wolf over Robin on the current banner. My reasoning is that Silver Wolf will likely take a very long time (a year or longer) to rerun, so if I want her I have to pick her up now. Robin, on the other hand, will likely rerun quite often and I’ll have plenty of chances to pick her up. That’s my general pulling strategy where I prioritize pulling older units that don’t rerun frequently. Since my main goal is to collect characters, I’m more interested in older characters than newer meta ones, and only care about the endgame giving me more jades for my pulls

    There's another CC that stated that SW being bad for rerun potential isn't just her kit being trivialized but her rerun being basically done at the wrong time. And I actually agree with it.
    If she was rerun with Boothill's release in 2.2, consider:
    1) def shred + res pen actually helps with break damage if people don't have Ruan Mei yet. And having 2 implanters will actually help Boothill do what he needs if paired with HMC.
    2) Acheron being released a patch before Boothill will help people get the classic Pela+SW teamup. (Practically predatory if this happened if devs knew they're releasing Jiaoqiu, but they will get more sales from this. Fu Xuan seemed like her rerun with Booty just happened because she was up next and nothing else.)

    While it's great that we have some level of buffs incoming I feel like Hoyo would make even more money if they lowered the pity cap on reruns. You want the new shiny unit? 90 hard pity at a 0.600% drop rate. Fair enough it's what we all know. But, what if when a character got rerun hard pity was at 50 with a 75/25 to encourage players to vertically invest in old units? That unit MOC/APOC/PF buff wouldn't be in rotation most likely but you could still have the unit you wanted by saving on the Express Pass or if you're gonna whale it's gonna hurt your pocketbook less. I'm sure Hoyo would rather make $50 from 30% of players than $300 out of 5%.

      My Hoyolab app had me shown as over 500 days, before I finally pulled my first copy of DDD. And I got it on the same pull that I _lost_ my 50/50 to Clara, on Aventurine's banner. I don't think it was even on rate-up. But current banner has it on rate-up.

      i think a huge part of that is the shift towards aoe with the release of therta. it feels incredibly likely that we’ll continue to see that as the direction the meta shifts going forward, further devaluing single target units we see the next one which, undoubtedly, will powercreep feixiao

    • @Argenta_Rosa
      @Argenta_Rosa 16 годин тому +2

      Feixiao is still an extremely strong unit, however she is designed around melting 1-2 enemies.
      Her value was obviously going to drop once content became less single-target oriented.

    I'm not sure where this Topaz rerun being awful idea came from.
    1) Yes, March 7th and Moze exist. But Moze is still more situational than either, and kind of needs to be E6 to compete, which does means rolls do have to be spent to get Moze to E6. March 7th can be gotten E6 for free through ingame quests. Arguably you can get a single 5-star limited before you can get a single 4-star to E6 (that's 7 consecutive Mozes under highly unrealistic odds) So, really only E6 March 7th Hunt is the main contender for most accounts.
    2) The 2nd best (or best, if you count total team damage with the debuff applied) LC to put on the Hunt subdps was and still is Topaz's signature. Even if you weren't going to pull for the character, Topaz rerun does mean a 75% chance to pull a meta Lightcone for crit-based Hunt FUA characters.
    3) Topaz's E1 is still pretty strong upgrade if you already had Topaz. Technically E1 > S1 for Topaz (in a vacuum), so if you already had Topaz and wanted to further strengthen the Feixiao team, that extra debuff E1 applies is very good for Feixiao teams.
    Is E0 Topaz marginally better than E6 March 7th Hunt/E6 Moze? Yes. But I'd argue that's good game design? You're not pressured to _have_ to pull Topaz, and there's free(mium) options that are niche sidegrades/downgrades compared to Topaz. I'd rather Topaz/March7thHunt characters exist, rather than Ruan Meis (who pretty much have no suitable 4star downgrade/alternative) in HSR.

    I reckon they should implement a shop like in HI3rd where you can farm currency to buy the oldest power crept units. That would avoid pointless reruns of units like Seele and Blade without removing access to them entirely. (Justice for my angry windy man)

  • @KaiLoRei
    @KaiLoRei 16 годин тому +4

    I definitely think the power creep of HSR was too quick, but I also don't hold it against them that it happened especially since they're already buffing old units. Even outside of gacha games, businesses constantly adapt their strategies to survive and grow. There’s nothing inherently wrong with a company making adjustments to improve its financial standing-every business does it, and it’s a fundamental part of staying afloat. Criticism is fine, but some people act like hoyo doing this is some unique evil ignores how all companies operate.

    • @testingabc6207

      Yeah the powercreept is too fast .. if only they make it slower they could make a balancing .. so the unit release wouldn't be op and and break the game like right now.. and hp inflation wouldn't be a thing since the power level of a unit is the same ..

  • @thederp9309
    @thederp9309 8 годин тому +1

    Re runs also don’t work because of characters straight up being recycled kits now… the devs ran out of ideas. It’s not like you can enjoy a particular playstyle because a character that’s better will just be the same exact character with some slight differences at most… it’s essentially just a re-skin
    Yunli = Clara (which is fine because it’s a standard I guess)…
    Jiaoqiu is straight up Pela but is always better than SW…
    Feixiao is Dr Ratio powercreep, they have the same kit except she doesn’t need debuffs.
    Lingsha is Gallagher but also an erudition break dps which then means she has the same functionality as Rappa… which doesn’t help since there are now 4 5* break dps in the game now.
    Sunday is better at being Sparkle and Bronya… having the best of both worlds.
    Fugue is copy and pasted HTB and is missing a “enhanced” basic attack and ultimate for her kit… she literally just does nothing but stand there and use her skill a bit.
    RTB is just Sunday/Bronya/Sparkle… with true damage
    Aglaea is a summon lightning… like Jing Yuan… but at least she does speed stuff but it doesn’t change much
    They needed to release a whole new path but the path mechanic is just inherently worse action bar summons… Memosprites are inherently worse because they don’t share buffs unless the buffs are pre-battle which makes them mechanically worse in the same way healing and debuffs are inherently worse than shielding and buffing respectively.
    They needed to release a whole new path because they clearly ran out of ideas. The main dps path that got most ignored was Erudition for a while, but chances are they’re going to release more erudition before running out of ideas again and we’ll never see many hunt or destruction because those ideas were already run dry. And Remembrance is a path that can be any path so they’ll copy and paste previous kits with a remembrance logo attached.

    I think the best way they can change silverwolf is to make her skill hypercharge the effects of an element instrad of making a weakness break. Bassically make a specific element the enemies already weak to more damaging to them, like increasing the dmg% ratio they take from that element, or even more damage to the break bar from that element after her skill is used.

  • @blazikenfury8852
    @blazikenfury8852 4 години тому

    1:31 "Powercreep for sustains is almost non-existent" I audibly laughed at that, thank you. I died so many times against Hoolay and the DOT robot with Luocha and Fu Xuan, while it wasn't even close with Lingsha(I am talking about non break teams). The sustains even ignoring their dmg capabilities have actively experienced some powercreep.
    Fu is more safe than Luocha.
    Huohuo and Fu are probably the closest in sustain prowess but Fu suffers against debuffs and DOT.
    Aven's shields are better than Fu's dmg share especially against AOE attacks and similar in single target if you use the same attack combo as Fu(skill basic basic), while his 50% eff res is better than Fu's one time CC immunity on skill, while he's better than Huohuo against single target and in general keeping alive(I have died so many times on Robin with Huohuo that it's not even funny).
    Lingsha and Aven are also close but Lingsha can work better against debuffs with more agency with her Rabbit while 50% eff res is RNG.

      DOT meta revival, otherwise known as making every DOT stick for longer and give a way to action advance enemies to have them trigger DOT more.
      If we look at every seasonal content that features DOT buffs, its one or both of these things. It really cant function without these overhauls, but only time will tell whether they make new characters to solve these problems, or buff existing characters to fix what exists.
      I do hope for it, as three of my favorite characters are DOT users.

      - Two 5* Preservations (Fuxuan and Aventurine)

Rerun feels like scamming all the time, the only rerun i feel like it is not a scam yet is sustain rerun with aven and lingsha, but sadly not loucha.

    For me, this game makes it very difficult for you to want to get a rerun. With a few exceptions, it seems more viable to get a new unit than to worry about an old one, that is, of course, if you care about keeping your account "healthy" and not choosing characters just because you like it.

There's just no reason for a player who doesn't already have him to pull. Ditto for Silver Wolf. I got Pela's E6 months and months ago, been using her even since before getting Acheron, and she's great. Not even just PF, MoC and AS have been heavily favoring AoE

    The Jingyuan vs Aglaea situation might not be that easy to compare, like I fully agree Aglaea does more dmg, and in MOC she is definitively better. But Jingyuan does more toughness dmg and is fully AOE, so he is on par or sometimes better than Aglaea in APOC and PF.

    And if it that case no need to think about pulling aglaea in the first place because they are share the same team comp😂
    Also i think being relateable it's not reliable anymore, wdym u didn't have any good *5 support in this day😅 it's your fault for only pull *5 dps not with their substitute support.
