Sorry this is a smaller video, been kinda busy with school and another video, thanks for sticking around :]

if they only buff the multipliers we're even more cooked than we thought.

[XMS-]

Nah seasonal buffs are horrible
Last thing i need is to have characters be only effective in season

[cherryjanpong]

There's ALWAYS a catch. No way they'll plain buff the weaker units to match new units. It's just too good to be true.

In a worse case scenario with trajectory they are going. I wont be surprised that they sell solution by updating the eidolons hoping people would roll banners for eidolons for older characters

I am new to Star Rail and i have been playing this game for Damn Near a month straight, I pray the changes to older units not only helps with fixing powercreep but i hope it also allows peoples favorite characters to shine. Seele is my favorite character by far and it did suck to see her nearly unusable due to powercreep but i have been saving a large chunk of my wishes for her if she gets a Re-run, i was going to wait and pull for her either way before the buffs to older units were announced but now that buffs have been announced i am truly hoping i am able to use my favorite character in high end content.

I am someone who never really follows the meta and instead use characters i love, as i said i hope i can wish for Seele and not only enjoy her but hope i wont get judged for pulling for an old unit lol.

i really hope if they do buff the characters incorrectly (just increasing multipliers, making a new relic set) or put the buff behind a paywall that the community will call them out on it and not just accept it. that's one of the things im really afraid of.

[DINGOlord]

The FGO way I think could work. They basically choose one of their 3 skills or their ultimate and rework them to be more in line with modern characters. They just buffed a 6 year old unit back into being the top single damage dealer in it's class and a top contender over all

[Truck-kun]

They'll probably create some new type of Equipment that adds or changes the characters' Talents like Modules in Arknights or Euphorias in Reverse 1999.
However, they'll either do it like in Honkai Impact where you have to pull for these Equipment or they'll make it require some extremely limited resource.

The biggest problem with direct buffs in Gachas is that they're a Russian roulette, where either the buff can be so good that it revives the character from the dead or so bad that it doesn't change anything and now the character has to pray to get another better buff in the future (Which he probably won't)

[tartag]

I really hope they do kit reworks for older characters instead of just increasing damage multipliers, even if it’s something simple. Doing something like say, letting Dr. Ratio’s burst transfer between enemies if you defeat them before all of the uses are up with a priority on elite enemies would be a small change to his kit overall but make his burst feel SO much better compared to if he just got his numbers buffed.

Also, based Zhu Yuan liker 🤝

In my opinion the best way would be to make specific relics like a planar ornament set that heals the team when you implant a weakness so silver wolf could be run as a sustain or something like that.

[lightningdragon]

Best case scenario is not only multiplier increase, but modenizing their kits to at least mid 2.X characters standards and fixing their core issues. No point making Seele just hit harder when hp inflation will eventually make her be at the same spot she was before.

[taozhang]

Would love it if old units were buffed via extra major traces.

[RedWolfWindgear]

I'd love Natasha to get a buff. She is a good early healer, but over time has lost a spot in many teams. More healing or damage I'd appreciate for her kit. Heck a cleanse would be nice too.

[ACatThatCantSing]

Really wish they add more/universal toughness reduction to Himeko's talent😭😭 even as a Himeko simp and main, she still feels like ass against elites or bosses. Also I know this is unrealistic to the point of being ridiculous, but I just wanted to say it since I have her premium superbreak team and it still hurts me everytime I need to use 9 turns to break an elite

[i_dont_have_a_youtube_chan]

Also for 3 Hi3 players out there like myself, we have had dps characters like HoT that have retained top scores for about 4 years and several supports and farmable units that remained best for 2-3 years.

Also the game still has divine key system for buffing old characters which basically boils down to roll new weapon which yeah sucks but made bare able by fact that its 50-60 pulls guarantee and no banner has 50/50

[OppaiSenpai]

I already know that even as they're buffing them Hoyo will put in extra effort to make sure that 1.x characters are merely usuable but still not as good as 2.x characters, let alone 3.x characters. Then what's left after that is for more powercreep and HP inflation to bring them back to the state that they're in right now again.

[animeturnMMD]

I think the best solution they can use is that instead of just buffing characters they can create a set of additonal talents to upgrade the interactions and damage multpliers that the characters have access to, Punishing Grave Raven does it like that and works wonders old characters are revitalized and can be used again at least to competently and comfortably clear endgame content, while at the same time they keep the newer characters stronger so the wheel of gacha keeps spining.

And some characters don't need much to be better, like Silver Wolf who could benefy from having some kind of AOE and a buff to her debuffs or maybe an additional debuff to generate more damage multipliers, others like Selee could be harder to buff because she is too basic, so all they can do is either buff her stats or create some kind of new power for her (which is unlikely), maybe they can give her bleed damage or something to add more damage multipliers to her kit, so she can have more interactions and be buffed in different ways.

[kingtakco]

It makes me so mad till this day, but Genshin has only buffed one character

[generalalatusfallingin]

EODGamer did a really good video on how he would buff non-meta characters. Tbh I highly recommend it for anyone interested in hearing about how characters like Kafka, Silver Wolf and Blade should be buffed.
