Luocha is literally a maid that always has your back, doesn't ask for money,makes you coffee,gives you advice,tucks you in bed and kisses your forehead

the only bad thing about luocha is that he can't be on both moc teams at once

Luocha gives you so much comfort, that you just relax and just play a game.

All the Luocha hate is just slander against Otto.

reasons to why you can consider loucha: 1. he’s blonde 2. hes tall 3. afk gameplay

These Meta Slaves call every single character just 'Bad' even while they are just below S+ tier units. And I hate it because it is seen every single game.

Luocha is extremely auto friendly. You can be a spreadsheet gamer but 90% of us play on auto.

Imagine being called bad by just doing the thing you design for "Being a Healer"

Yes I pulled for luocha, do I regret it? Hell no 👍

We actually got to try Aventurine on the quest and he's actually insanse and he applies nigh infinite shields lmao

Luocha is literally is a zero sp healer if built properly. Just make sure to slap energy regen rope on him

I remember when everyone is finding accounts that has a trial luocha when phantylia released because they can't beat her without him.

Pulled Luocha when he first came around and gotta say ,, - NO REGRETS ``

Luocha is awesome. He is always on one side of my MoC run. I have zero regrets pulling him. You are right, in that you can plop him in any team and he'll do his job. The dispell his ult gives is chefs kiss

Along with the comfort Luocha provides, I feel like you also need to look at potential for future metas, not just the 'now'. At one point in time, output healers were considered bad in Genshin too. Then Hoyo started adding mechanics that brought healers into the meta, and some of them are among the best units in the game now. Just because Luocha overheals a lot doesn’t mean that won’t be super valuable one day. Could be enemy abilities, could be relic sets, could be synergies with future characters. Dismissing Luocha's future potential is a mistake imo. He's an excellent character

Luocha’s real utility shines when using a character like DHIL and QQ, he can easily sustain a team without using any skills.

These new sustains are doing way too much 😅 Luocha is just there if I wanna turn my brain off and avoid making miss plays.

My blonde man is sp generator, auto healer, cleans, aoe remove buff enemy have and people still call him bad 😂

How to make people want Luocha: Make every single enemy have revive status effect. Every. Single. Round. People doesnt seem to appreciate his Dispel.

Luocha’s utility comes in the form of massive SP gen (I run Multiplication on him), and you shouldn’t count out the offensive dispel on his ult - it’s situationally very useful.

"Shame, i cant give you the burial that you seek" -Coffin guy probably

Luocha is my only 5 star sustainer rn and my 2nd MoC team is STRUGGLING without his healing, it's insane how people undermine it. The zhongli and luocha comparison is so true actually

I just pulled luocha by accident while I was trying to get Gallagher eidolons and man, he really does deserve way more love. He's barely even half built on my account, cobbled together with a bunch of leftover relics I had lying around (none of which being at max level) and sporting a level 60 S2 perfect timing and he already overcap heals everyone I've got while also being tanky af. Quite possibly one of the most casual, f2p-friendly units in the game

This man's been keeping my team alive since I pulled him on his first banner. Bad? Hell no.

Ever since, Luocha first banner, I dont regret getting him, HE CARRIED MY TEAM❤❤

Some people really do have a bad mindset when a more broken character outclasses the last broken character it doesnt mean the previous one sucks now it just means they are outclassed like there still really good like seele just because jing liu and acheron do absoulutely stupid damage doesnt mean seele bad not in the slightest

MF calling Luocha bad and here I am with March and Lynx as my only sustain

Anyone that calls luocha bad is on something he is by no means bad, the only thing is that like as a limited 5 star in comparison to the other sustains he falls behind in the sense that he does nth else but sustain while the rest do things like energy, damage, crit rate/damage buffing etc so he feels a little more empty than them.

I do wanna say that HuoHuo's biggest downside is on demand/emergency heals. If someone on your team takes a massive hit and is down in the hundreds for health, better pray you get some ults up or that low character doesn't get attacked because she really can't do much outside her turn. She's still absolutely an S tier because of everything else she does, but as someone who's been using her as my primary sustain since she released, it's worth noting Edit: also with the story we get a preview of Aventurine and while we can't see his build, yeah he's strong and you pretty much don't have to worry about damage, easy S tier

I think SP positive supports are underrated.

Luocha's first banner is when I lost the 50/50. Since then have been waiting for his rerun. And now, I got him today. It took me about half an hour to build Luocha to solo sustain MOC 12. And it was the most comfortable MOC run ever. Trust me, pulling Otto is a great descision.

luocha literally carried my aventurine boss run 😭

Me who understands nothing of the intricacies and mechanics of the game and just Unga bungas through the content with luocha to back me up

Luocha does everything in his job description. If what your looking for is SUSTAIN he is amazing

Thank you Mr braxophone for always pumping us full of content

People probably aren't thinking about his positives properly. He's an anti-mechanic unit that also allows your teams to use skills more, which results in some positive utility that won't show up on a spreadsheet.

I think alot of people underestimate how good Nat ult is, she has the cheapest ult in the entire game and if you have her e4 she can ult for every 1-2 turn if she get hit

E1 Luocha gives a teamwide Attack Buff. I've been using him a lot so I pulled for his E1 and it's nice. Especially with Imbibitor since Luocha doesn't soak SP.

I really like how you approached fire trailblazer Brax! I am on that same boat of nowadays using Stelle again since I clear content quite fast and an occasional taunt or her mini aoe shield is all I need, with just her enhanced autos and ultimate I can break weakness bar way faster and that helps out a ton

Didnt realize aventurine was in the story quest ill need to finish that soon

Hope to see more tier list videos like this honestly. Very informative and fun to watch

Idk how feasible it would be, but please make more of these role specific tier lists! Rating all the characters in the game together is frankly just a bit confusing, and having tier lists that are separated by what the character wants to do just gives us (and tbh, probably the creator as well once you put the characters into perspective) a much better insight into how the characters stack up. Very dope video brax!

I'm SO EXCITED for Aventurine cuz he's like the final piece for my follow ups team w/Topaz, Ratio and Ruan Mei and i've already tried this team in the trailbaze mission with the history Aventurine and OMG that team is so OP and fun, can't wait for mr gambing addict

loved your gallagher cosplay brax!

This is a dope video. Really needed this

What I love about Luocha is his dispell feature. Gonna wait if future characters will also capable to dispell like Luocha does

Luocha is still one of the Best sustainers/Healers in the game

There's situations and teams where everyone do better than others. Except Natasha sadly, i think lynx did basically power crept her, and she's free now as well, so only situation where you'd use Natasha, is if you only have lynx and Natasha, and you're clearing MoC.

Thank you for the tier list it helps alot for me because whether to build Lynx or Gallagher

I wouldn't say Luocha is bad, but rather that his unique features are not capitalized on. His unique thing is not only that he does a bunch of healing, its that he does a bunch of small heals really quickly. Anything that cares about individual instances of healing would love Luocha, but nothing outside of Dimulated Universe does. But if we do get a decent relic set, light cone, or character that ramps offense in relation to heal frequency, I'd image people will start viewing Luocha in a more favorable light.

ig the reason why people call loucha bad nowadays is cuz most mobs 1-2 hit you. Especially if they are squishy af.

Not putting Tingyun in S tier is criminal

Thank you! I'm new to the game and I was really badly in need of this kind of video

for people who just wanna play the game casually, on auto, or just farm some content, he’s just great. and if you’re lucky enough to have him at E1, he gives your whole team an attack buff, but i know this tier list doesn’t include eidolons. but he’s still a great character

How in the HELL is Luocha REMOTELY bad?? even in comparison to the other healers, if I had to choose one, it's him for sure! I don't see a single other Abundance unit that I'd use instead of him

Nah, Luocha is SS tier. Your team just immortal with him

luocha really reminds me of sparkle in that he is great at enabling teams just from being sp positive & allows for healing + atk buffs with his field i think also that a lot of people don't think abt his buff removal (that one vtuber you streamed with LOL) which is so handy honestly his ult is useful for toughness break as well

Hi Brax, I use solo sustain March in my Clara team and my Arlan team! The best part about her is that her shields are the longest lasting in the game at 4 turns! Clara March Topaz Ruan Mei is my whole team and March has synergy with everyone. Ruan Mei makes March’s AoE ice breaks do crazy damage, and March’s follow up attacks advance Numby forward more often than you think (especially when it’s a single target situation). Just wanted to vouch for my girl🤩

i use luocha everywhere still lol

Finally. someone that doesn't downgrade luocha based on his "pull value". Thank u brax for not turning on him like the rest of the community.

love your takes Brax

Nice content Brax.

I had Bailu and Lynx, couldn't clear past MoC level 5. Pulled Luocha and Acheron, now I jumped up MoC levels by just switching my Ratio relics onto Acheron and using all the DPS healer pieces I've been saving forever and slamming them onto Luocha.

Loucha isn't bad, meta slaves are just mad that they have to cycle out their supports every time a new one is released

I pulled luocha on his release, still my fav character on my acc until now.

For those wondering he ACTUALLY starts talking about Luocha near the end of the video 13:40

As someone with E1S0 Luocha (since his first banner) and E0S1 huohuo, i'd say both are around the same value as e/o (E1 luocha buffs ATK by 20% w his field, S1 huohuo lc is more buffs). His E1 came early so i didnt try him at E0 so im very luocha biased lol. Also he's an Otto AU so mwah 💗 If both are at E0S0, their edge over eo is basically Luocha - emergency healing, aoe removal of enemy buff; Huohuo - cleanse, team ER. Both very solid units imo. Also for Aventurine, based on the recent trailblaze quest chara trial, his follow up is such a treat when teamed w Acheron, he feels SP positive, and shields almost 100% uptime :3 If you read thru all that, thank you and I wish you the best and early 5* wins! 💗

I personally use March as my sustain in DOT team, i use Kafka, Black swan, Asta/Ruan Mei and March, been clearing MoC12 no problem

Pulled on his rerun amd he is very good not regreted

Aventurine also restacks his shield every fua he does and he increases entire team effect by 50% flat and his ult buff crit dmg 👍

One more thing to add to Aventurine based on the perspective quest that lets us play as him his follow up attacks grant additional shield meaning if you have the right team comp and have characters like Topaz, Himiko, Dr Ratio, Herta, etc. then he can have full uptime on his shields meaning your team will hardly be taking damage.

Considering I'm passing getting a Loucha again, I'm glad you kinda talked me down, I already have huohuo, and I actually planned on holding on for Aventurine, sooooo, I think I can live with myself

valid tier list

Ive had Luocha since his first banner and he single handedly carried my account, i stopped playing for a while and missed a lot of good unit and didnt keep building my characters so when i came back i was really struggling but Luocha has just made everything so much easier for me 🙏 theyll never make me dislike you king 😤

I'm sort of out of conundrum because when I started playing I pulled for DHIL as he was on the banner and I wanted him. And at that time Luocha and Huohuo were the best sustainers in the game so I had missed out on both and I had to wait for either rerun on banner, so I was saving for him. Then here comes Adventurine and people are telling me Adventurine is supposed to be better don't pull for Luocha, so I'm glad you made this video Brax I started not to pull form but now I think I am and I'm going to skip Adventurine

I do not regret pulling for his E1 (will go for E6 in the future)

Loucha is the Zhongli of HSR. The only comfort unit in this Game.

i did a 10 roll on luochas banner to try and get a single gallagher (0 pity and 50/50) bc i thought "i plan on getting jingliu so luochas technically better of an accidental 5 star than acheron" and i ended up getting him on accident 😭 his auto healing with cleanse has been soooo nice though, clara chews through enemies while healing a shit ton in his field

Brilliantly done video.

from his trial during the quest, aventurine actually adds more shield everytime he does a follow-up attack

Hoyoverse based for giving us a free Aventurine test trial in the story during his segments and for as long as those segments last. He slid very well into the Clara team I already had.

Btw, Luocha pretty much the only fully sp positive healer

OMG Im So Agree with that TierList, You literally made the same decisions I was saying while watching the video. You're great, I like you, Keep up the good work sir

I pulled 3 luocha in single 10 pull, he was great. Used him more than 2000+ battles, best healer in the game

Luocha is the pull I've been most happy with. He is just so easy to use and makes all content a non-issue.

He’s not bad at all. One person will say something and people will follow. Just like when people were lying and saying Acheron is bad without p2w investment.

I love using March E6, especially with Clara in a follow-Up attack team

Luocha is so universal that you can slot him in ANY team comp and he will sustain just fine. No horsing around, just straight up heals and cleanses.

btw aventurine also refreshes his stackable shields everytime he does the followup

My only regret for luocha is that i pulled for his lightcone

I also think what makes Luocha still a good pick is just because the fact he is super flexible in almost any team if say you don’t have a true reliable sustainer outside of Luocha. Especially considering the late game where enemies have a lot of different buffs they provide to themselves, he can remove that and while it’s not majorly crazy, it helps a lot to mitigate what the enemies do to you. As a day 1 Luocha user (because he’s the character I have ran with the longest), he’s absolutely carried the hell out of every single content in the game and for good reason.

I will never regret getting Loucha. He’s an Otto Apocalypse~

All things aside, do we think Aventurine is going to actually make Yanqing more valuable and rescue him from the bottom of the 5* rankings? He's not going to the top but with a shielder that shields that easily, Yanqing seems more reliable as a unit. He'll be good... as long you don't have Ratio, Jingliu, DHIL or Acheron, I guess. And seeing how you have to login during the time Ratio is free to get Aventurine...

isnt he like the only healer that scales off attack%? i feel like he is also the only healer that will heal on an enemy turn? outside other healers ultimates

The only bad thing about Luocha is that after him, when using other healers, you constantly forget that you need to heal using SP, and no one heals on their own...

The main problem with meta slaves is they think everyone playing has all 5* characters. He is a good healer for new players and will help you till we get more reruns of other characters. When using double teams he is very important so that’s another consideration to have.

Using luocha and DOT character is insane, every time a DOT triggered, your whole team got heal.

Been playing since late February. Luocha is a NEED for one team. Aventurine is for the other. PORQUE NO LOS DOS MOTHERFUCKERS

I think it's also worth noting that he works particularly well with follow up attack units, especially counter units like Clara and even March. It is insanely useful for bosses who are very fast and have multi hits like Kafka and even Sam because it means that every FUA heals out of turn. Clara for instance heals the entire team every time she counters. This synergy has bailed me out of so many fights. Like Destruction Trotter. :)
