Five Characters That Need Buffs | Genshin Impact 

Since many have pointed out (I take partial responsibility for not catching these when reviewing the draft): - At 6:20 my editor accidentally showed Kokomi's burst description when he was supposed to show Qiqi's. - At 7:25 Faruzan and Dori are not catalyst users. I told my editor for this part to show three 4 star catalyst supports and he mistakenly thought Faruzan and Dori were catalyst wielders. He admits to not having played the game much ever since 3.0 came out. Again it's my fault for not noticing them when reviewing the draft. I must've missed them since they happened quickly and I was looking at my other monitor to type out changes. Will be extra careful to avoid these errors next time - hope that doesn't stop you from enjoying the video though!

I'm surprised you didn't mention Diluc's completely useless charge attack ascension passive.

So help me if someone goes "smh didn't include X character L + bozo + ratio + your mom calls me daddy" I'm gonna-

For Venti they don’t need to change his kit or buff him…. They just need to stop making enemies or even objects (Klee and Kirara’s bombs) immune to his burst… even bosses should be somewhat controllable by his burst… he’s an archon and cc is getting less important so it’s not that much to ask for.

I still feel like the Constellation descriptions mentioning "Max level is 15" and the existence of Level 100 enemies may be an indicator of an intent to eventually add another Ascension at Lv90, which could add another Passive Talent that might correct deficiencies in older character kits. (Copium maybe?)

A small change I would love on Ningguang is that her burst shards won't get caught/destroyed on terrain. I'm not even talking about geo constructs or destructible terrain, but there have been some many times in domains that are in rooms where I get the monsters in the corner and half of my burst will just hit the walls instead of the monsters.

"While most catalyst users opt for supportive playstyles" *shows 3 characters where only one is a catalyst*

as a ningguang main, i find that her fluid playstyle is absolutely delightful, and i dont mind her being geo, but one ick i have is that she can't use the most out of the geo supports she can't make full use of gorou's buffs, nor does she stay on field long enough to use nas to utilise yunjin's na buff

I’m so glad that Ningguang was mentioned cause tbh the biggest issue I see with her is her C4 and how little hard it is to pair her with supports. I love playing as her but it’s sometimes annoying not being able to fully and easily pair her with others supports apart from Bennett when it comes to multiple targets. As well her C4 is practically useless, I would like to change it to something along the lines of “After 3 consecutive attacks, charge attack will now allow Ningguang to have a 12% (or any percentage) attack and charge attack speed increase”. I feel like this sort of change would make C4 useful and fix an issue about her being a bit slow, or instead of speed increase geo dmg even more but anything compared to what the C4 is now.

I think Klee would work well as a sub-dps if only her burst worked off-field

How to buff Ningguang? Well, turn her into a 5 star. I mean it won't fix all her issues but she's the one unit who deserved to be one after what she's done for the people of Liyue. I mean at least points for Ningguang for being one of the strongest 4 star DPS's.

personal opinion honestly I feel some characters don't need a buff but rather a proper rework from old characters such as Diluc and Venti's constellations Dehya's clunky-ness and etc of course with T&Cs from Hoyo allowing changes to finalized products to prevent court cases otherwise a system similar to the modules in Arknights where players can earn permanent buffs for specific older characters

I think Candace just needs her burst to last up to 18 seconds so she works with quick bloom Cyno at C6 (specially since she was released on his banner)

I honestly think genshin needs to increase the level cap to 100 and give everyone a new talent, it'll be a great way of adjusting weaker units and giving qol improvements to stronger ones

Ningguang in CBT, her basics did get enchanced if they went thru the jade screen

I really wish Traveler was more usable! Canonically he's very strong, but I can't justify playing the game with him. I want to experience the new kit in each region and progress with the character as part of the story, but instead I go into great story moments and immediately pop-up as Yelan as soon as any dialogue ends 😅 It's either jarring and hurts immersion, or just a drag

the problem is that most of these are old characters that have already become victims of power creep early on in this game and have long been discarded by the dev team expecting a buff for them would just be as likely as expecting hoyo to be generous in anniversary rewards

7:29 Ah yes, Faruzan, my favourite anemo cataylst character

I use Ningguang to handle the Golden Wolflord, and that's about it. For Traveller: It would be nice if Basic Attack levels carried over. I could understand if the Twins changed weapon type or infused their own Basic Attack depending on element, but completely forgetting how to use a normal sword is ridiculous.

id love a kaveh buff/rework. imo he's an amazing idea for a unit but there are two things that massively hold him back, one is that he doesn't claim ownership of cores when he pops them, the second is that he constantly hits the two bloom limit for damage output. all he needs to be a really fun budget on field nilou is to firstly claim ownership of all cores he pops, and secondly to have a passive that removes the 2 bloom limit when he detonates them. there are minor things too like his burst downtime and 80 cost need reducing

For Diluc, just remove his passive talent that affects his CA and give him a mini/pseudo version of one of his cons. Using his skill in rhythmic format could grant Pyro dmg bonus/Atk or even buff the dmg of the skill itself for a short time. This would align with how crimson witch was basically made for him

I'd love a part 2 for this! Especially as an amber main, I feel like her having a buff would be great. She doesn't have to hit huge numbers, but I think something like tighnari where her charged shots are quicker after casting her skill would be great

Candace is pretty good in Nilou Bloom teams, I basically ignored her intended use and gave her a ton of EM so she can trigger 40k blooms

First thing I always think, when it comes to necessary buffs in Genshin, is Klees burst staying active, when swapping characters.

The only thing that deserves buff is our Credit-Card.

CBT Ningguang uses to have a ER passive and her charge atk was just a Yanfei charge atk. Ningguang is definitely one character I want to be buff. I'm still gonna make this argument that Klee's burst should be a off field like Yelan and Xingqiu. Dehya just needs better numbers honestly plus her C1, C2, and C4 should just be part of her main kit.

You were talking about catalysts, then showed Barbara(catalyst, yeah), Faruzan(bow) and Dori(Claymore)💀💀💀

I also thought about overlapping elemental infusions. Imagine Ayaka and Ayato freezing enemies with only their NAs with the help of Candace and Chongyun respectively (it wouldn't be meta-defining, but would give those characters some use)

Ok so I’ve also got ideas for small tweaks to improve certain characters: Diluc - Boost his attack speed a little, and make the icd of his Pyro infusion a little less punishing. Qiqi - definitely let her regenerate particles during her e, and shorten the cd so the downtime is 5 or fewer seconds. And the debuffing idea is interesting. Ningguang - Her constellation 1 should be default. And add a defense double scaling to her so she can actually use geo supports. Alternatively, in my ideal five star Ningguang copium dream, her kit would revolve around crystallize. She gains stacking damage with the more crystallize shields she picks up, and if she doesn’t pick them up, the crystals explode when she uses her burst or something.

Diluc could get a passive where he gets a "pyro OZ" that follows the character and works off field after the burst is cast since he spawns a fênix

"We haven't seen a Hydro traveler yet. Maybe things will improve" *nervous laughter*

6:19, Vars? That's not Qiqi's burst.

When it comes to a character like Xinyan I feel like two things should have happened: 1) Her Shield really needed to scale off her HP, not her defensive stat. And on a 15 second cooldown instead of 18. 2) Her burst opens up with an explosive damage but then creates a pyro field similar to Lisa, which periodically does ticks of pyro damage. So you get a basic Pyro shielder who could also be reasonably used for Melt and Burgeon teams.

I'd love to see another one of these. Personally, I'd love to see a fix for Dehya and Candace that brought a physical dps build back into play. This would also re-enable characters like Eula who have fallen off a bit without needing to overhaul them. I'm curious to see what your thoughts would be though.

Meanwhile, characters that Mihoyo think that need buff: Xiangling every patch and Fischl every few patches.

as a qiqi dps main it is my duty to sow fear into genshin meta fans

This was a cool video as usual. I would definitely enjoy a part 2 or even 3. Helpful subject for a lot of folks.

The brave frontier flashbacks is hitting me 💀, the power creep and no consideration for older units is insane

As a combo to MC, I think they should start out as they are, giving a taster of what the element is and can do, but after finishing the story section for the region they should be able to undergo a 'test' or quest or something that amplifies their elemental power. That way you can still keep their original intention but also making it so they don't age like cheese

Buffs only really matter if your desired goal is to 36* the abyss with your less-than-optimal faves. The core game's focus on questing and exploration is balanced such that any 4 characters that synergize well and have minimal investment (i.e. desirable mainstats on their artifacts, maybe a good set bonus) can clear everything with zero issues.

Phenomenal video! More parts please!!!

Good video. And good points. I’m really hoping they consider some adjustments like these eventually. Qiqi in particular. She was one of my favorites to use early on. As well as my best unit damage wise cuz I leveled her up before Diluc and Venti. But I really wish she had something else going in her kit. I mostly use her as a physical dps with Raiden while fighting the Black serpents in Chasm.

Nice list Vars. My only adjustment for diluc in addition to the ones listed in the video would to be doing away with some of the useless consetellations like the one for charged attacks. When it comes to qiqi would the idea of making her excess healing form a shield end up encroaching on many of the other dual healing and shield units real estate. When it comes to traveler What if you only needed to crown them once but they don't even use regular crowns but free ascension materials from AR or the story like how the gems were acquired.

The genshin community needs a buff

Considering how the importances of many aspects of the game have shifted, I’ve seen so many traits of characters: skills, ascension passives, and constellations, either shot up in value, or fall off. The latter mostly refers to the older characters in the game. I can’t remember all the passive talents but Venti’s 1st ascension passive basically creates a long-lasting wind current, which I thought should have been in the base gameplay. It’s no obvious, Mihoyo wouldn’t do balancing (minus Zhongli’s buff and Yae Miko’s totem targeting,which got reversed), and it’s most likely to possibly never happen in the future. Anyways, great video. I agreed with how you would improve them, although I would prefer if Candace was an HP buffer and applicator or a Charged Attack specialist (similar to Yun Jin being exclusively Normal Attack). Pls be civil in the comments to all of you who see this.

This is such a coincidence - literally a few days ago I was wondering if Candace has any sheilding capabilities because she would be such a good fit for Yoimiya if she did. Imagine if she was Thoma but Hydro. I even tried to find anything in leaks of fontaine related to hydro sheild characters but there's no news of that (as far as I know). The reason why I was looking for this is because if you are using Yelan with her, Thoma may accidently steal some vapes if she's positioned too near or too far, although it happens pretty infrequently. It would also be a good synergy with Yelan. And also the fact that Hp% usually scales sheilds and Hp% is also Hydro character's thing so it would fit. It's surprising we don't have a hydro sheilder yet.

I love these sort of theory videos so yes please make more videos like this!

I think a part 2 would be lovely. Definitely hit the nail on the head with these 5 though.

Ngl if whe ever get a anemo shielder i imagine it might work like beidou burst where it deals damage l around it with it like being a hurricane that sircels around the active character that works as a shield at the same time where it might have a set amount on field time until it can be destroyed somehow maybe but im just guessing on how an anemo shielders shield might work . I'd imagine that if the shield would be like this it can defenatly do swirl reactions ofc

Ok the video is great and you made really goog points but CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW SOOTHING YOUR VOICE IS ? I could listen to it all day fr Waiting for a part 2 btw 😄

Of COURSE you'd use starrail music lmaoo

I made a video specifically calling out the characters (both 4 and 5 stars) in the game using skills which are not in their kits in the story. At first it could be dismissed as a desperation move, but some use these skills while calm and for extended periods of time (Yanfei in the Chasm using a skill similar to Bennet's elemental burst). So, it is possible for additional changes in the future, like raising the level cap and/or adding in new skills or adding onto already existing skills for battle. I don't think such a change will happen in until at least 5.0, and I'm hoping for a narrative reason for such a change.

What also needs a buff is skins and the addition of transformations for Archons. $15-$30 skins for characters with every banner and a second burst for the Archons that change their appearance and do extra damage would be a good way to shake up the game. It's so bizarre that they leave so much money on the floor by not adding skins

Definitely want a part 2!

Another thing that may help some characters is a buff that applies to all characters: my personal idea would be to give ALL characters an unlockable 6th atrifact slot- not one that requires a new type of piece but rather a universal one where you can place any piece. This creates the option of more diversity in build as players would be able to choose weather to run the 2-piece bonus from 3 different sets or the 4-pice bonys of one set with the 2-piece of another (Also before anyone points it out, I'm fully aware this is kinda what Honkai: Star Rail has with it's relics but I've been thinking about this idea since before we even got Sumeru)

Seeing Brave Frontier units at the beginning unlocked a memory I forgot I had.

A cool idea for Candace could be having her shield have a very low cooldown if tapped and allowing you to do faster parries than Beidou with a lot less dmg. That way you can do a little damage extra a lot of times and it can shake up gameplay by constantly countering enemies

hey I thought about Qiqi and I think that Maybe adding a overheal efect from qiqi as a unique healer would be cool and usefull I guess (only more power creeping HP scaler's) but it might look well with her because she is all about healing and having the best one at that.

Here is a better idea. Buff Consecrated beasts up to 75% HP increase and 75% damage increase, 50% resistance increase to all elements and 300% resistance to their own element. Buff lector shields by 200%, Eremite Elites HP by 300%. What?? I want to make abyss fun again for the playerbase.

Please make more videos on this topic! That would be great. 😃

It worked be really nice for you to go more in depth in what buffs traveller would like to see. But maybe you could also wait for Fontaine and hydro traveller to include them as well

Omg Vargas and Selena from Brave Frontier at the beginning! I miss my legendary 6 Heroes.

Pyro 5 stars are in need of buffs in general. Aside from Hu Tao and maybe Yoimiya all of them are hot garbages that are all severely outclassed by a 4 star. Problem is pyro is too overloaded with on field dps while the element itself is better used as an off field. Thats why xiangling is strong. Imagine if klee had her bombs stay even after switching out. Diluc is fine as an on field dps he just needs better passive and bit more scaling perhaps. Dehya though is just a lost cause at this point.

As a qiqi main I would love any kind of qiqi buff, and as someone who likes her onfeild dps, having her give Debufs would be interesting for shure! (Also the energy/cool downs would be appreciated XD)

I feel like all Candance and Chongyun need is a character that works with them. If a new character had a ability that allowed them to use 2 or more elemental infusions at once (and if its useful on that character) they would then have a team where you might actually want them.

I like AMC's E high interrupt res, high poise, fast multihit. It's so satisfying using on pyro and electro aura enemies. The Q could be improved by being able to target ground the tornado moves to target location and stay there.

Kaveh apart from strangely not beeing a support character needs a serious buff to his constellations and needs serious buffs to his bloom, burgeon and hyperbloom reactions as that's supposed to be his niche... also reduce his energy cost to 60 the 80 at the moment are just ridiculous

More parts please 🙏

13:08 "We haven't seen hydro, pyro, or cryo traveler yet, so maybe things will improve." Uh yeah, about that-

One thing that AFK Arena did with a healer was give her an ability that turns a portion of overhealing into a shield for the character, which I think is something that if incorporated into Qiqi's kit could make her a high tier Shielder

If Traveler could have multiple elements they would be incredible. They could have infusion on their normal and charged attacks, choose which skill burst to align with, they could be game changing! An anemo infused sword with dendro burst field and electro skill to swirl and proc aggravate would be so much fun to play. Even with lower numbers the utility would be like no other character in the game and it would be more like their story character.

So a buff idea I like for deluc is to have the bird throw enemies back at the end so he also has some grouping ability

Qiqi really deserves a buff. The poor thing has one of the Craziest effects in The game on her C6 (team revive), that can turn the tides of a otherwise lost fight!

It seems Dehya may have been a beta test, since several current and future HSR characters have kits that took inspiration from her. Her Burst needs some scaling from the amount of damage resolved (like Blade). A minor team heal per punch would also help.

you should definitely make a part 2 of this. but as for what character i want to be buff, it's Aloy. her skill will be not frustrating if they just give her a aim mode like Keqing. even tough i want that her skill is a tap and a hold, tapping will make use of her spear for close range (maybe a combo type skill like Diluc) while her hold will be her regular bombs. i really want Mihoyo to give her, her own Story quest since Fontaine is the closest theme we get with Horizon. people saying that Horizon and Genshin are complete 180, but they have a lot of similar stuff with one another. - destroyed civilization of the past = khaenri'ah - a bunch of machine roaming around the world = Ruin Guards and it's variant - Focus = Elemental sight - a connected network with many info of the world = Akasha and more...

it would be cool if you could equip different traveler elements as separate party slots- for the people who want to play traveler only or something like that it could be cool to have one character make up your whole team and still be able to get reactions and stuff

I never knew/thought about the Traveler introducing things about elements, that's pretty interesting. But also hydro Trav came out and it seemed less about the element and more about the region it comes from since it was the first of many, many characters with HP gimmicks. I'm not kidding, IDK Navia's kit but every Fontaine character to come out besides two cryo 4 stars has HP gimmicks

In regards to Ningguang, the only time I ever use her (for combat) is if I have to fight the rifthound boss, which is disappointing cause she was my first main until Zhongli came out and even then she was still a part of my main team for a while after. I'm all for your ideas though, although shooting through the Jade Screen might end up being frustrating depending on what boss you are fighting (overly mobile ones, for example). For traveler, hopefully their hydro abilities will be good. Hydro is the "best" as of right now (honestly, I'm still personally debating between hydro and anemo) so there is hope that the innate power of hydro will make their kit good (although anemo travelers is admittedly mediocre and fritzy so maybe not). Plus we still have pyro and cryo to go so there is always hope they will be as good or better than dendro. I agree with your general improvement ideas but I'll add some element specific ones since you did a generalized overview. Anemo: outside of general numbers I'd say the biggest problem I have with it is that flipping tornado. The fact that it only goes forward is irritating. If I were to give the anemo traveler a fix, I'd change how the tornado works. Have either be stationary or have it chase down enemies (and stay in place if there aren't anymroe with range). That way it doesn't feel like such a waste if it doesn't pick up enemies and you can still dps them while it's active (instead of having to chase it down) Geo: I don't want the traveler to be a complete knock off of Zhongli but a good change to them would be have to their constructs pulse. It would at least provide more damage. You could have them plus for weak geo damage to create crystallize reactions and then have a buff attached that increases characte damage when they have a crystalized shield. That would at least give the traveler some utility instead of just being a glorified landscaper. Or, maybe, you could have them pulse for no damage but slow/stun enemies. Extra CC isn't bad. Electro: the energy regen needs to be slightly higher and the CDs need a reduction. Of the three weaker ones, this one is really just numbers. Dendro: This one's fine as is. Maybe lower the energy cost/CD of their elemental burst but, honestly, it's not necessary and more of just a quality of life thing.

If you make another one of these, I need need NEED chongyun to be talked about because the potential is right there I feel like

These characters need fixing too imho: 1. Klee - Increase her consecutive NA animations up to 5 and possibly have a homing mechanic similar to most catalyst users like Yanfei. Make her burst useable off-field similar to Xiangling's Pyronado. 2. Noelle - her burst doesn't generate particles which kinda sucks though running her on a Mono Geo team with one party member running Fav would fix this. 3. Amber - give her a level 2 charged attack similar to Ganyu and Tighnari. 4. Sayu - her tap skill would've been cool if she made an Anemo shield of sorts. 5. Xinyan - her split-scaling is a big hurdle tbh. Would've been better if they ultimately have her scaled off purely based on DEF. 6. Dori - her skill is useless. Have her make a shield instead.

I also think another way that could buff candace to be slightly more effective is extending the duration of her burst's application and providing a different playstyle to characters like Yelan Or Xingqiu,but one that can still be effective at reactions. The way she could do this is that Normal & Charged attacks recieve a greater bonus when you cut another overrideable/cancellable elemental infusion short so you can use Candace's,this could also provide something like shortening the skill cd of the character that recieves the buff so she synergizes more with on field elemental attackers.

I think you should watch Flip's genshin court on you, not to clown on you or anything but I think what he mentions in his videos have good points and Its always nice to learn and improve right?

BRAVE FRONTIER!!!! That was my first gacha game lol. I hadn't thought about that game in almost a decade.

A qiqi main here. I use her both as healer and melee main DPS, with nearly 150 % physical DMG bonus, decent crits and the right supports (especially Yun-Jin, Shogun and Zhongli) I can pull of 10k+ DMG easily to most enemies and it feels so satisfying

NAHH I was not ready for the backhand insult at 4:15 I knew dehya will be roasted but damn that was sudden xD

I want diluc with his delusion mode as separate playable character where he sacrifice his health like hutao for little dmg boost and huge speed boost .His skill and burst should be using chains that add range to dilucs claymore based gameplay making him single enemy damaging kit which improves his gameplay. his passive boosts his atk if gets by enemy. I want his elemental skill to be nuke like yelan skill and ultimate to fastly spam pyro infusion attacks for 6-9 seconds that will make him competitive with current characters

I don't think we need more numbers, we need more scenarios. So Niche characters can actually have a chance

I would like travelers skills and bursts to actually scale off of the attack ascension stat and maybe be able to use all current and future elements at the same time. Like a 7 in 1 swiss army knife

Love the video and i would love to see more of them. For character id like to see changed/buffed here it goes. Xinyan: either make her more of main dps. You could keep the shield def scaling or make it split scaling. Then deconstruct her Elemental Skill and make it just like Beidou’s C2 (or C1 i don’t remember) where the shield and the effect are separate and the effect doesn’t go away when the shield breaks. Or just giver her shield some attack scaling and let her be a more useful physical support while letting her be the only physical burst sup. allowing her physical burst hit to be decent as well needing only attack and crit dmg to let her do her thing. Ambers kit just needs a rework, imo it just really doesn’t work great. Chonyun had the makings of a great support but its just barely not there. The cryo resistance shred only happens at the end of his E so after the rotation is done (unless sac GS but he has way better weapons). THE 2 cryo DPS (and aloy i guess) don’t need his infusion while otherwise he would feel perfect to support them. They could do 2 things. 1. Making it so that in his field transformative reaction get a decent damage boost making him viable in fridge teams. But the real focus will be Shatter, make him THE Shatter support character. 2. Make him one of THE cryo support/budget Shenhe. Applying the cryo shred at the initial hit of his E as well. Get rid of his DPS style constellations and replace them with things like while in the frost field gain elemental mastery or a cryo dmg bonus. Albedo: For the love of god, make his flower field more durable!!!! Most abyss 12 monsters can 1-hit ko his only form of damage/utility. Make it so it is shielded from heavy attacks for like 5 times and let the flower petals be a counter for how many times it can shield itself. Or with the new artifact set coming up, let him/the active character take a large portion of the damage reduced by albedo’s DEF. the shield created by his E are near useless, they could make it so that with each crystalize triggered by his E a characters interruption resistance and damage reduction, increasing by each hit. allowing him to be sort of a combined alternative for deyha/zhongli when you really want the other on in your other abyss team.

Mika's E should give phys shred (it goes in theme with his achetype) and his buff should be partywide, NOT just on field. That alone would make him infinitely better... And an extra thing that would be fun, would be giving him an extra E charge, kinda like sucrose. That would help his rotations, ER and flexibility.

11:30 surprisingly this already happens in the game but not in that exact way. If you have 2 infusions on the same character a special interaction will occur where the Weapon Itself will suffer an elemental reaction. If you infuse your weapon with chongyun and candace it'll freeze, if your keching uses her skill while inside Bennet's C6 the weapon will trigger overload and make a small explosion, and so on. If we had a dendro infusion available we could have a way to generate bloom seeds basically for free, that would make Candace's potential skyrocket and make her a good and uniwue unit.

It’s too bad that Hoyoverse said they’re not going to add any more reactions. It would be nice to have a more debuff-oriented reaction similar to Zhongli’s petrify effect occur if an enemy had taken enough hits from geo-based attacks, reducing their attack and defense and making them susceptible to heavy hits similar to the frozen reaction for a while but not stopping their movement. Not to mention one of my favorite suggestions is for anemo and geo being able to create a small sandstorm in the area that would deal passive damage and draw in smaller enemies, maybe affecting its own status condition that reduced enemy attack through a blinded condition (to simulate loss of accuracy without making attacks go haywire). These buffs would innately help a lot of the less powerful characters in the game, being mostly composed of anemo and geo units purely based on their elements.

Part two would be so cool

as someone who enjoys playing all the traveler elements to some degree i got a idea how they could buff them general: allowing use of different trav elements in a single team, straight up theres some synergy we cant do because you cant have more then 1 element despite in story theyve already shown they can use multiple anemo: straight up a way to hold the tornado in place without needing to run it into a object, the only real consistent way we have atm is throwing it into ningguangs shield or zhonglis pillar, those are vary small collision boxes to try and work. geo travs constructs are wide enough this wouldnt be a issue well also provoding a crit buff with there burst to. regardless just some way would allow it to be a smaller venti tornado for what the siutation calls for geo: tbh i find this one not terrible, its more so to do with geo more then anything. it hits hard, even got a crit buff on its burst. the only thing i see a actual issue is C2 with its construct explosion only triggers and killing it or expiring, not when you go over the limit and the first existing just goes away. this should deifnintly explode on the oldest getting shoved out from construct limit. electro: the one upside to this one is that the skill can hyper fuel a single char so hard that you can get away with someone like noelle at 0 ER and have 100% uptime on her burst, but at the cost of not generating energy for the team. as for the burst, techniclly allows a extra hit of electro similar to beidou on a single target situation well also gaining flat energy. the damage isnt bad if you can attack fast enough to trigger it at least 80% of the time...but the amount of chars that line up right to trigger it as much as it can isnt vary much to the point i dont actually know, all for a burst that costs 80 energy. the burst shouldnt cost 80 energy especially for a char that doesnt generate energy for team/them self without using the skill on them self. they should also make it more usable to use hits with the burst instead of having to find someone who lines up with attack speed, like having the skill auto load a charge and can store upto 3 and the next attack will use all charges on the enemy allowing to use all the hits without some weird user restrictions. even if they keep the optimal amount of hits at 24, thats still 24 hits of 60% with 24 flat energy on the attacker. dendro: this one i actually say is in a good spot, even know i got every other dendro char built minus kirara, i do still find some use out of this one in aoe situations.

I would love it if when (or if) we get level 100 characters, it’ll unlock something like 3 new talents that players get to choose from that enhances a character in different ways. Take Thoma for example, he has 3 different play styles; burgeon, all purpose shielder, or a support for a pyro DPS unit. In this hypothetical scenario one of the passives would be like giving his shields partial EM scaling, as well as giving Thoma bonus dmg on pyro based reactions. Another would be to give Thoma a few stacks of his burst automatically when casting it and then letting it pulsate by itself (as in no longer requiring an AA to refresh). And finally one passive could be giving the on field character a stackable increase pyro dmg bonus and maybe a bonus to pyro related reactions. Something along these lines would be interesting to have an all characters. Not all of them have to be game changing but we are talking about level 100 characters here

The more time that passes for genshin the more I realize how limiting the game really is for it's characters, and it's a lot of factors but the one in talking about now is how they always try to make characters unique and I say this because it leads to the problem where if a character almost works they don't remake that move set but instead create a new one all together I do think it's why pyro has had so little attention, they created near perfect characters that fulfill what could be done to an extreme that any character released to make new roles or be put in the same role will just be the same

The funny thing is weapon infusions DO interact. They react on top of the weapon, so based on the timing of application from the source they react and leave an aura left on the weapon which is what you attack with. My personal fun idea would be that an offield dendro infusion that would interact with c6 bennett pyro infusion could lead to burning (the only issue is you'd burn yourself to death but anyone in melee range would be burned as well and thats like 1u pyro every 2 seconds). The issue with hutao, raiden, xiao etc. is that they have a conversion rather than an infusion which doesnt react at all and just ignores it. Its really unfortunate regarding candace though as theres literally nothing in her kit that would make her a better choice than xq other than her dmg bonus (that ik of at least).

Speaking of traveler, we did see them getting more and more viable with each new element. The hydro variant sadly went towards the main dps route and poor scaling, no support capabilities aside from a small heal from c6, can't even use c4 to shield anyone other than the traveler. Only way to save them is a really fast hydro application but it looks like they have standard icd. Maybe the new ousia and pneuma mechanic could help them but that's unlikely.

For Amber, since I've gotten better at utilizing her, all I can say is buff c2 to give her faster charged shot times, that way baron bunny is better at quick swap teams. (Hint: It can be detonated if the charge shot creates a burgeon or overload reaction so you can hit both with one shot.)

I agree with nearly everything, and the main exception is 4* vs 5* "demands". Good 4* are not and shouldn't be a "lesser 5*". Bennett, Xingqiu, Xiangling, Sucrose, Fischl are as good as 5*, they are among the strongest (by this I mean parts of the strongest teams) characters in the game. I think the only acceptable difference with 4* is their being somewhat constellation dependent. Other than that, any character is great if they're a part of an op team. Childe has a very limited team options, but free 4* Xiangling makes an extremely strong team with him, and this makes both of them great.
