Why NO ONE Plays: Noelle | Genshin Impact 

When I watch these "why no one plays" series, I feel like "ok challenge accepted" xD

She is a “Complete” character, but nobody wants that, because in Genshin your “Team” should act as a complete whole. But Noelle acts as a team in itself (if that makes sense)

if only genshin end game was not beat the clock.

Out of curiosity have you read her story stuff? Because Noelle is canonically so strong she had to have a special sword made because she straight up broke the other ones because they couldn't take the stress. She threw an entire burning cart into a nearby lake and then singlehandedly pulled out the cart and its cargo once extinguished. Jean and the Knights went out of their way to make sure Noelle had other things to keep her busy during the whole Stormterror incident lol

Noelle really shines in co op where you only have one character. Since she does everything it's like you still have a team of characters and she can carry weak teams through fights since she never dies.

Noelle is the girl who will carry you through any fight, as long as you’re willing to wait long enough for her to kill it. :)

Noelle is literally my favorite character, not only because she was the first one i pulled, but because i like every aspect of hers. Her design is beautiful, her voice actresses in all languages do a great job, her personality is just pleasant, her backstory as well, and her playstyle is so fun. I just recently got her 6th constellation, and i can finally dedicate myself to making her my main dps, she is a one woman army and i love her for it Update: i know Itto's banner ended, but when it was happening, i finally got Redhorn, so now i have THE weapon for her, poggers.

Honestly surprised I didn’t hear a portion of the video dedicated to what I consider to be her worst flaw (as someone who has dedicated time and resources into make Noelle one pf the best dmg dealers): Her Energy. Noelle has literally everything you want in a character, but her particle generation is non existent outside of burst mode. She needs to be paired with another Geo Battery in order to properly keep her burst up. Besides that, she has proven to be incredible

As a triple crowned noelle player going for red horn, she feels great in comps for her but meh everywhere else. She’s convenient but has too much energy needs to justify as a flex pick.

I'm surprised Noelle got an episode as to my concern, she has a descently large dedicated fanbase and her fans are quite loyal to her. I see Noelle mains left and right just like how I see Yanfei mains. I myself main Noelle tho I guess I understand her problems like any other units (energy problems, really only good at c6 or early game)

Honestly, i just like how Noelle is a simple character to understand. It like: “Here is a character with a shield that can heal and a big powerful sword that takes some time to charge, but can do decent damage”. It is a lot easier than trying to set up the perfect elemental reaction.

To be honest, not only would I excuse the high level of investment needed for Noelle, I would actually defend it as a unique way of incorporating character lore into gameplay. you mentioned before at about 2:42 you mention she has the near super natural ability to be anywhere at once. when you do her hangout event, she mentions that she does the One Punch Man routine (100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and "running two laps around Mondstadt"). She isn't everywhere because she can teleport like Xiao or something. she has to physically run to every place she needs to be, whether it's on the streets of Mondstadt, the halls of the knights of Favonius HQ, or even somewhere outside the city. not to mention that she'll go at the drop of a hat, too. There's a story about how Noelle saved someone from Dragonspine, but ending up getting bedridden with a high fever for 3 days straight, as well as Kaeya having to find any and everything to keep her from going after D'valin during the Stormterror Incident. Noelle is incredibly and admirably devoted to her work, and has amazing potential at the end of that road. Much like in her backstory and character, if the player works hard enough grinding for levels, talent books, artifacts, weapons, etc., they too can unlock that potential. I current have a c6 triple crowned Noelle with pretty good artifacts, and recently I got Redhorn for her (thank fucking god). I also got Skyward Harp just before Itto's banner, so I was trying to level both 5* weapons up. Even with a level 50 weapon, Noelle, with max stacks on Husk and buffs from teammates like Gorou, Yun Jin, and 4pc Noblesse buff, still hits for 20K per swing. Remember, the worst characters are the ones you never build. I can state confidently from experience that Noelle is VERY worth trying out, especially if you have any Def% pieces or spare claymore billets lying around. (i'm sorry that i'm not at all sorry about the 20 page essay of a comment. i just thought the connection between lore and gameplay was very interestingly done, even if it backfired and turned people away from her)

Noelle main here; Excited to see what you have to say! She’s certainly got some solid attributes, but the fact that she’s a main DPS four star really does hold her back at times. Still love my little combat maid though! Edit: Great video! I think one thing it would have been good to address in great detail is why exactly Noelle basically is forced to be a main to be a main DPS rather than support. I’ve seen so many people argue that Noelle is a great healer and shielder, but they seem to fail to realize that these traits are only at the best when Noelle is on the field and swinging as much as possible (appropriate for a maid who does everything herself, I might add). If you are using Noelle JUST for her shields, use Diona or Zhongli instead. For heals, just use Barbara or Koko.

Noelle: safest option in coop. C6 Noelle: abandon everything and give your full devotion

I play her all the time. I've got her at C5. She's like my security blanket. Best shields and decent healing. And always so polite!

noelle carried me since day 1 and today, at ar 56, she's still on my team. my party is always at max hp thanks to her

I get that this series is from the perspective of a veteran whale, but Noelle was a life saver in the early to mid game. She deals ok damage but can take a beating while healing the rest of your team. A very useful character to have for newer f2p players, especially when trying to kill the bosses. I can't picture trying to kill the Primo Geovishap earlier in the game without her.

One word on Noelle’s huge issue: SHE CANT REGENERATE ENERGY, LIKE SERIOUSLY! HOYOVERSE, SHE CAN HEAL, SHE CAN SHEILD, SHE CAN SUPPORT, SHE CAN DPS, WHY NOT LET HER GENERATE ENERGY OMG 😭😭😭😭😭😭!!!

After more than 3 years, Noelle will finally get a sticker ingame. She was the only character before 4.2 without a sticker while still being in the game from the very beginning. She might be loved by Hoyo by being the only 4* character with 2 hangouts but she never appeared in any events as a key character till 4.1

Being a free2player, I've found Noelle to be very useful, but I do see why this video is helpful. I've learned the challenging way, that she certainly needs to be built, and have invested a lot in her. Not disappointed either, since I just started playing the game about 3 months ago. Also, I have no 5 stars and not really many people to compare, so that may be a thing as well.

C6 noelle with c4 gorou can kill everything in abyss easily. I think that her dps is strongly denied by the community.

I'd argue Noelle is one of the best designed characters in the game. Yes, she's not a broken meta character, but she doesn't need to be. She's designed to be a crutch character for new players, offering shields, healing, and overworld utility since she's a claymore user. Even in lategame with her high HP and DEF she's still a brick wall that can carry players through any non-timed content via sheer survivability. She's not part of 36 star spiral abyss meta comps, but she does a great job as an anchor character casual players can always rely on.

I pulled noelle at the game's release and decided I love her, and she's been my main ever since. It's really useful because she is a jack of all trades, because it makes her an all-in-one unit allowing room for other characters. Noelle's my main DPS, healer, shielder, and then I have three other slots for purely sub-DPS. Plus she's great in co-op because her healing reaches basically everyone.

Well then. A year after this video, and Noelle is buffed via Furina's release, and now she hits like a train car. (I am oddly happy to be a Noelle main now.)

Noelle carried me through the early game so I have a soft spot for her 🥰 I’m working on building her as the healer/shielder for my mono-geo team

Objectively, Noelle right now is the only "Real" tank in the game right now to me. Yes. There are other shielder that can consider to be a tank, but most of their utilities is just cast shield and make everyone the tank while Noelle shield is most effective and tankyest when it on her and not others character (besides from A1 passive) making her primary shield a very selfish one since the majority of it toughest come from Noelle own Def scaling, one is increasing it health with Def and others one is reducing DMG taking with said Def stats.

being a noelle main since day 1, i have a huge grudge against timed challenges and abyss mage shields in early game, ESPECIALLY IF THE TIMED CHALLENGES HAVE ABYSS MAGES

The best part of playing these “Why No One Play” characters is I don’t have to fight over who gets to play who in co-op And as an AR59 player, it just adds more challenge since we got nothing to do in the game anyway 🥴

As someone who plays noelle I think she’s really balanced rn in genshin - she is a viable character for those that want to main her and is relatively easy to build. At the same time she’s not must-pull for broken character nor is universally versatile and a must-build character. And her character design is rlly nice.

I think she's one of the characters that has been the most indirectly buffed since release. There was 1.2 with Albedo (probably the best battery for her), 1.3 with geo resonance and Zhongli buffs, the Itto patch (Gorou, Redhorn, Husk), and also Yunjin. She went from among the worst characters to a very very solid dps. Still agree with most of your points though. EDIT: Also would you be interested in doing Kaeya? I main him and would be interested in seeing what makes him worse than the other 4-star cryo supports (Diona, Rosaria).

The day her energy issues get solved and Geo gets an actual reaction based buff Noelle would be one of the best units. The shear amount of attack you can get on her is absurd.

Noelle really carried me through the early levels until I got Zhongli so she has a special place in my heart.

There is one advantage to Noelle you didn't mention: she's one of the few characters in the game that actually maintains her burst/infusion when switching out. This is something that not even Itto can do, which makes her much easier to use and switch to other characters if needed. Although I actually own both Noelle and Itto, I tend to prefer using the former. She's significantly simpler in design compared to Itto, which means spending a lot less brainpower and energy during combat when you don't really feel like it. Compared to Noelle, Itto has to manage stacks and can't switch out of burst, which are concerns not present for Noelle. Her healing and shield also make her very self-sustaining

I noticed something about genshin's enemy difficulty. Obviously, the higher the level of that enemy, more damage it'll deal and more health and dmg reduction. But if there were enemies, let's say higher attack but low health, in return with more energy particles, Geo will definitely shine at most. We need something like this.

i really like pairing noelle with a character that has some sort of spiral elemental burst, like xiangling, or kaeya to help make up for the DPS. If i use a her shield while activating a spiral elemental burst and have her geo claymore elemental burst also activated she’s unstoppable.

As a former noelle main, my only problem with her when I got to higher AR's was the fact that before yun jin, there really wasn't any reliable way for me to get energy particles

It's interesting to see that I've seen every character discussed in this series played at least a dozen times in co-op, but I've never seen a sayu main (besides me) in co-op! It would be cool if you did a video on her :O

Noelle is like the Traveler. Everyone has her, but, as soon as they get something better, they replace her.

I only stopped playing Genshin relatively recently, but even then, Noelle was one of my best characters. She's one of the only healers that I was okay with keeping on the field to do her healing because of how powerful she could be, and by the time her burst was over, everyone else was back to full health. Ironically enough, when I first made a Geo team, all of the other characters there were supports for her more than anything else, and that's incredible considering that those units were Zhongli, Albedo, and Ningguang.

can i just say that i love this videos thumbnail? your content is amazing as ever of course, vars, but i really love your approach to thumbnails. especially on this vid, the soft red you chose for noelles name matches so well with the ashy blue backround, contrasted by noelle herself. so pretty.

As a Noelle main, I've really enjoyed using her throughout the whole game. I was lucky enough to get her c6 fairly early on so she was very useful until I was able to build more characters and optimize team comps and artifacts. While now I still enjoy using Noelle, once you have another character like Ganyu or Eula, using Noelle again feels like a handicap almost. This hasn't stopped me from triple crowning Noelle though lol

Top notch video! I have never played this game and I still watched the whole way through.

noelle was my first character, and shes carried me my entire game, even in spiral abyss. Still waiting for the c6 con but shes so reliable and well rounded i can throw her into any team and it works. Def need to pair her with xingqui though for the energy

Noelle is still a 5* in my heart. P.S. You forgot to mention her problems with energy recharge. Her elemental skill doesn't generate any particles.

She's the reason why I started genshin because I saw her picture in pinterest and was interested. Since then I mained her with a R5 whiteblind, triple crowned, and lots of love. Of course she's lacking in some departments but I still love her :>>>

I've had Noelle on my team since I got her and man, the only time I removed her was when I got Barbara and that was only like, a week. Her shield and healing have absolutely helped me out a lot. I still need a lot more Noelles to get C6, but so far I've loved using her.

Aged like wine...

As a Noelle main I am very interested to see what you have to say, I know for me my biggest problem with her is the fact she makes no energy, i can’t really think of anything else that’s problematic, I have an easier time thinking of more than one problem with my other 5 stars than Noelle.

One thing i like about her well roundedness though is that she’s great for coop. Since everyone is on their own, many dps and supports become really frail. The ones who aren’t frail are the healers and shielders, except they don’t do damage. So when I use noelle, I feel great dealing like 25-30k damage every hit while healing everyone else and not having to bother with dodging. Of course, no one realizes that until they’ve actually invested in her though…

Noelle main in 2023: Our time has come

Well, after Furina's release, this video aged like fine milk.

id say one of the perks of noelle is that because she does everything, the rest of the team gains more freedom in character choice, which can boost damage output as a whole compared to using say thoma and barbara, then using a main dps and some character for elemnt applying/CC/whatever. even if you lean in to supporting her a bit with someone like albedo, that just means you can have whoever you fuckin want in the other two slots, its like bennet-kazuha or diona-ganyu. slap on some other supports and thats all you need. one of my best teams in abyss has been noelle, albedo, xiangling, xinqiu, but you could easily use tartag+fischl/beidou, zhong+geo MC if you really dont like dying, hu tao xinqiu if you want to take advantage of noelles passive shield that can activate on hu taos skill use seperately to noelles skill...

I love Mono Geo comps, I find it so much more fun beating enemies then only focusing on elemental reactions. It's just fun hitting enemies with ROCKS O^O

I’m AR 56 and used Noelle for my team pretty much the whole time. (Still do when I’m not using my other team comps) She’s a complete unit, shield, healing, geo. Everything we could want

Noelle will always have a place in my heart! ಥ‿ಥ

I’m a noelle main and I don’t see that ever changing. I’m still building her, but her biggest weakness for me is she can’t deal with some timed events. Though the entire team is is able to survive very well.

“She doesn’t offer anything besides damage and protection” oh yeah I forgot killing things before they kill you was completely unwarranted.

Oh how the turns table

can't wait to see how this video age with furina release

I loved noelle from my first day getting her because at early game, I was scared of everything and she kept my characters alive. now even into late game, I'm glad I invested into her because she's capable of doing so much and it's been my pleasure to work on her build. it's satisfying to see her improving on both her defense capabilities and damage. of course what probably made me willing to go that distance is that she's just a top tier waifu. Keke. these videos are entertaining to watch but at the end of the day, this game is very much character > meta, since most content is relatively easy to beat with any character, given the proper investment. you just have to like them enough. and the noelle mains community is a great reminder of that.

At first I didn't like using Noelle because of how slow she felt. But after getting her C6, Noelle has been my go-to character for clearing gimmicky domains since my main teams are purely DPS for Abyss with not too good survivability (don't ask, my comps are bad in general). Most artifacts I get are terrible, but for Noelle specifically, I didn't need to farm long to get a decent set for her Give Noelle a battery and she can singlehandedly sweep waves and become a reliable healer

The main thing that pulled me into trying this game was my love of warframe, and making intricate builds and finding interesting synergy between weapons and characters. I may only have been playing this game for about 2 weeks, but it definitely doesn't disappoint. I'm anxious to get to where I can actually start making viable builds and team setups like the ones I see flooding my RU-vid suggestions. But for now I'm only AR 22 with keqing as my only 5* and sayu as my only character other than the traveler with any constellations unlocked

That Dynasty warriors soundtrack I love it and for Noelle she's really good at C6 her personality and back story is pretty good

I've been a noelle main since day 1, c6, redhorn, 62:219 ratio, triple crowned. It took me a total of 9 months to get my noelle to where she is now. I can list some problems I've seen with noelle and also give alternatives 1. Noelle needs c6 to be good. In the case that you want to build her as a dps, yes, c6 is great. Without c6, shes still really good. You just have to focus more atk rather than def until you obtain c6. Back when I used bolide set on my noelle who was only c4, she was still able to hit 20k per swing with her burst. If you can't get c6, you can also build her into other roles as she fills her support roles of healing and shielding quite well. 2. Energy problems Yes. This is a huge issue with noelle. Though, theres multiple solutions to this. If you run a full geo team, say, noelle, gorou, yunjin, geomc, noelle shouldn't have an issue if you run favonius on gorou and yunjin. If you don't have a geo battery, geomc/geo traveler is an amazing choice as they can run favonius sword if needed as well. 3. High investment Sure, she may need a bit more investment than other characters to be considered "good" or "on par," but that shouldn't stop you from building her. We all grind for characters anyway, noelle investment will come naturally so long as you continue to work to build her. So, in conclusion, noelle has many cons, but there are also many solutions to those said cons. I'm excited to see what this video brings though

For someone who struggle to find a good and efficient team for Noelle I can agree with the "Required specific teammates" point. She doesn't really have a good synergy with the rest of the cast other than geo. But even so she still can work well. I'm just glad I have my traveler built as her battery.

How this video didnt age so well

I like Noelle, her kit is easy to understand and she's a good outlet for when you're still grinding because she loves the +DEF gear

Noelle and Diona have carried my two squishy catalyst dps-es throughout the whole game; infinite shield, and nigh unkillable. And when I got Albedo, her burst is now constantly at 100% uptime, I’ll swear by her until I die.

As a Noelle main I agree on this, but she carried my account from the beginning to Ar 40. Even though I already have strong dps characters, I never replaced her and still part of the team as a shielder, emergency healer and damage dealer

I play with Noelle on my main exploration team, I think she’s cute and love that geo resonance shield buff with Zhongli

She was the first character I whaled for and I use her as the healer/shielder in a team with Itto, Gorou, and Aldebo and shes great 😊.

Remember, *"Being a maid is about perfection, you have to do your best at everything you do"*

As a Noelle main, all I could say is Noelle's shields has helped me from death far too many times that I could count

honestly i think i’ll always have a soft spot for noelle even as more characters are released that i absolutely adore. not only was she my first character that i used consistently but i somehow managed to get wolf’s gravestone incredibly early (i think before i even finished my mondstadt main story quests). i don’t know how it happened and i can’t find it in my history but as the only claymore user i had at the time noelle naturally got the weapon. i also just generally like tanks cause my play style is usually “run head first into the monster” so we were a perfect fit. she was my main dps from then on until i got xiao on his first banner and carried me through so much of the game. she was with me as i learned how to play the game. no matter how many more characters are released noelle will forever be one of my favorites and one of the best characters imo (mainly talking abt design, story, and personality idc that much abt dps or numbers)

Noelle is my second most used character alongside Aether. I also always have Rosaria on my team I love her quick attacks. My fourth slot switches between Yanfei and Barbara. Depending on what enemies I'm facing. I'll switch Aether's element to better match with them. Anemo with Yanfei and Electro with Barbara.

As a Noelle main from day 1, I'm excited to see what you have to say about her.

Noelle is "ruined" by how slow she is. If Genshin wasn't a timer obsessed game she would be deployed more often in difficult stages of combat.

I knew that voice lol you make league content too ha I found your other channel, I knew your league channel first from ages ago and now I'm playing Genshin haha keep up the awesome content man!

Honestly 90% of the reason I love her is that her playstyle is really satisfying (for a reason I can't describe). That animation when she does the stance and her shield pops on is just great.

She was my first character that I maxed out, and carried me for my first year of playing the game. She is a really fun character but has no interactions with other characters and really niche in a situations where you wanna use her. So when my acc was strong enough to not care what team comps I play, she is rarely in my teams anymore.

My favorite characters in genshin are the ones that feel like they are a full character. Noelle has checked that mark for me to the tee. I feel as if the fact that you have to put a lot of time and effort into her is characteristic of her personality, and it's made me enjoy the journey that my Noelle has gone through. Every damage increase feels much more rewarding when you take into account Noelle's personality. She does everything, which is also a large part of her character. She has full kit scaling, meaning everything is based around one major stat as opposed to split scaling. Of course, this comes with C6, but that comes around with your devotion to her, which wraps back to the time an effort thing. She has some deep mechanics that make her satisfying to play, and I will NEVER get tired of the screen shake and sound effect of her swings. I've always loved characters who's gameplay is reminiscent of their lore, another reason why I admire Hu Tao. I don't have her, but her theme being represented in her gameplay is extremely well-thought out. A funeral consultant who walks along the ethereal line of life and death. Thus her gameplay is represented by continuously dropping below and healing above her low hp threshold to maximize her damage, literally teetering back and forth on the line of life and death. I think Noelle is one of those perfectly designed characters in the game, but a lot of people don't want perfectly designed characters, they want meta. I wish more characters had their lore and personality represented in their gameplay.

I actually used Noelle as my main because not only is she charming and strong af (she swings a claymore like it’s nothing) her healing and shield has saved me a BUNCH of times. She’s attached to a lot of good memories I had playing the game.

Ever since I have completed my first 36 stars in abyss, I started building up my unused chars. And then I saw this why no one plays series, which made me happy since somehow I got to realize how many gameplays I have missed for such a long time. I know the game is just simple but, realizing now that some events that involves too many trial characters which do involve also some unused chars makes it easier for me atleast. Since, I have played the char with decent amount of time and making them work even in a weird composition. Somehow I can blame myself being a meta slave for a long while now. I need to renew my gameplays just for a bit just to feel different too.

"When it comes to gacha games, metas are formulated on the basis of specialization." *cries in Qiqi main* I personally believe that a good solution to the healer/tank problem is a more expanded multiplayer. If we could get a multiplayer abyss or a multiplayer version of the rogue like event, people would want a healer and or a tank on their team and I think that will get people to care besides Mihoyo just increasing enemy damage output.

As a noelle main, she is amazing in boss rush content, but we haven’t had that for a few updates. Also, her ER sucks ass. Need a dedicated team comp, but mono geo is amazing on her.

This unlocked understanding of a lot of things I am struggling with as a c6 Noelle returning to the game

Noelle is one of the characters i use most in Genshin. She saved the ass of my entire squad many times since i got her, the week that Genshin launched. All thanks to her shield and healing. Hell, i finished Inazuma a few days ago, and i'm still use her. Noelle, is without a doubt one of my favorite characters in the game.

"If you pull for the Stonethresher, there's a high chance you're pulling for Itto as well" Man, if you are talking to a Noelle main... No. No, we are NOT pulling for Itto. Give me my stronethresher and I'll be in my way.

This video is moving me so much. Noelle and Bennett were fine additions to my party (I ignored Bennett) but after I got Beidou, Xinyan, and Zhongli, her time as a shielder became less for domains and left for random adventures. I haven't been appreciating my maid knight and I think I'll build her better now! Thank you for this video, I'm sorry for getting emotional over a game.

Noelle is a great example of how a Character ought to be buffed directly (or in this case largely indirectly) over time. It's one of the few things I'm really grateful for HoYo doing whether they meant to or not. She is also a satisfying character to invest in and eventually see the results that you see other Noelle fans achieve. These characters don't get played because they are bad; they don't get played because people don't want to invest in them, and even if sometimes they might like the overall flare or kit of a character. Then there's the big what if: What if characters like Noelle won't be viable anymore one day even with high investment? There are just too many factors at play and not enough ways to invest in weaker characters. But that won't keep players like me away from investing in a Character like Noelle, or an even Weaker and harder to build character like Klee. It represents a challenge that can be far more meaningful than investing in a broken 5* like Hu Tao.

*Bro i literally started building my Noelle a few weeks ago xD* She's is currently lvl80/90, talents 8/8/8 and a Whitebland lvl80/90. All I need are better Husk arts. Right now shes 54%c.rate 111%c.dmg so there's plenty of improvement left🛐

Although I agree with pretty much everything said in this video, I still maintain that Noelle is an absolute BEAST!!! She's the only character in the game who is a healer, a shielder, and a DPS all rolled in to one. She will easily carry new players from the early-game, through the mid game, right into the end-game, and even then, if you can get her at C6 and carry on building her, she becomes immense in the end-game too (in the right circumstances). I'll admit, I don't use her all that much anymore (I have about 15 5-star characters to choose from now, and a ton of well built 4-stars lol) but every now and then I'll find a situation that calls for Noelle, and I'm always surprised at how much of a beast she actually is (especially in an all-Geo team). Also, the great thing about Noelle is that, artifacts that you would normally deem 'rubbish' for most other characters (DEF stat ones) are usually amazing for Noelle, so you can basically build her really easily using just the 'scraps' form other characters.

Noelle was my most-used character according to the game statistics for Genshin's first year. This will definitely have changed when second year stats come out, but she had a permanent place on my overworld exploration team until Kokomi the Portable Statue of the Seven joined my team, lol. I find I only use Noelle occasionally now, particularly when an event of the Abyss has a Geo buff. She's still one of my favourites though, and she was literally the bedrock of my team until Kokomi kind of replaced her.

Noele is a great support for hutao, if you don't get zongli, because hutao to be optimal needs to be in constant low health, with noele you can safely protect her and if hutao health becomes dangerously low you can cure her with the exact amount of health for hutao don't loose damage. Character wise she have a great personality and she's humble too. Noele grew on me as the time passed and today I often use her as a viable option when I need a good shielder, is worth to mention also that the only shield stronger then hers is zongli shield, as a bujet option she's a great character to have buided just in case you need a ton of defence or a never breaking shield. Ofcourse, there's plenty DPS better than her, bit for me the role that she shines is as a support.

Noelle was my shield and healer when I was below AR45, I mainly used her as a support so I haven’t seen her full Main dps potential. Even as a full support I think her biggest weakness is her energy recharge and massive cooldown issues. She’s still besto maid in my eyes even if I don’t use her as much anymore.

I built Noelle just bc I loved her character and the fact that I kept getting Husk artifacts instead of the healing one. And all I can say is now I can't die with Kokomi + Noelle.

I love Noelle so much. She's precious. I might not be her most fervent main, or her main at all, but I do really hope she'll get her spot to shine, like back during the labyrinth event! I have Albedo and Zhongli, also pulled a Redhorn claymore for her and when I do play her she's really satisfying and fun! Though now I have to avoid Itto, because I'd feel bad for benching him, ahah.

You should definitely do one on Miko, there were already tons of problems with her kit(E aiming at the wrong thing all the time, Q missing most of the time and doing low damage) before mihoyo decided to "fix" her.

Let us not igonore the fact that she had 4 to 5 buffs recently. She got red horn, husk of opulant dreams and 2 dedicated supports for her who are yunjin and gorou. She is much more viable that in 1.0.

Noelle with The Bell carried me from the start to AR 40. She's a great early unit and fun to play with
