I've been waiting to play a full team of nerds with Yao, Mortefi and Baizhi — for research purposes 🤣

[tsuhao]

As for Yao, u guys may argue that the gap is not that great. But if the leak about zhezhi kits is true then zhezhi and jinhsi team comp will literally become gojo satoru of wuwa.

Ofc every characters are still be able to clear all the end game content at this point but in the long future than im not sure.

Looking at PGR, i see a lot of people saying is normal of Kuro to GA characters on the evts occasionally. And its quite true in case of wuwa too because we alr saw what we got since the game launch.

What i mean when bring PGR in here is to u understand that the way PGR go might be the way Wuwa go as well. They'll give us a lots of presents and characters as well that we not neccessary have to pull for meta to be able to play the game. So i can quite say the game dodge powercreep kinda good too.

But seeing jinhsi could potential extend the gap of dps even further with only 1 patchs? If that's not powercreep idk what word to said as a Jiyan main.

Yeah but we all knew Calcharo was gonna get swept under the rug immediately since he's a standard unit, so I don't really care all too much. Also the ability to swap artifacts on characters midway through the tower of adversity means that there is some advantage in using Calcharo as well since they can share the exact same echoes. I'm only gonna get irritated if yinlin gets outdone in the mono electro niche before 2.0.

1st of all one is a standard banner character and the other is a limited (even if they give it to us for free), Limited characters will always be stronger. 2nd of all if you play PGR, you will know that Kuro has a design style they want Mono Elemental teams to play like, chances are, CC being a standard character was design to just be a intro to the Electric playstyle, because hes a Standard unit, and Xiangli Yao is the real Mono Electric play style they were planning from. If you play PGR and know how Kuro designs their teams, they put alot of thoughts into their mono teams, so all the teams don't play the same. All Electric attackers going forward, will play like CC, and XY, but will have something new that will make them stronger going forward.

"Xiangli yao gains three stacks knows as Hypercubes"

Damn, Xiangli yao is literally the Lee expy of Wuwa.

[danizi]

Isn’t mc next gonna get electro as well, if they keep their way he might be stronger then calcharo as well

[VSN-wbly]

Calcharo will still be my favorite, yes he's hard to master but that's what why it's fun

[indomitable]

We are getting him for free. Why does it matter? He’s even electro, so him and calcharo can share echoes. A limited character will always be better than a standard character. Otherwise, why would people roll for the limited character when they have a “better” standard character they got from selectors or beginner banner or losing 50/50? They have to be better in one way or another. Diluc in genshin was immediately powercrept as soon as they released main dps characters like Ganyu and Hu Tao. Seele was getting powercrept in HSR with every DPS release, but she was still viable. This is a gacha game after all, but as long as you can have fun with your character and clear content, it doesn’t matter. It’s a single player PVE game.

[AnimeWineAuntie]

I chose Calcharo because I liked his design but he’s so miserable to play tbh… not even Yinlin made him enjoyable for me. I’m happy to replace him.

[Mordred_King]

Yao has almost 5000% motion value in his kit without counting the NA and enhanced skill forte outside the burst because still we don't know how fast and reliable is to fully stacked soo yeah, we are talking about Jinhsi's power level and even more than her, i think he gonna get nerfed a little bit before release but other than that he is literally Calcharo with exactly the same playstyle but with way more uptime and damage and of course his signature weapon is really good on him and the sequence are also really good for a supposedly free character, RIP calcharo mains

[ken_kenaki]

I have yinlin but i dont have calcharo right now so should i go for xiangli yao or select calcharo from standard banner.
If i dont select calcharo on standard banner than i could go for jianxin for changli team?

[pramanakumalaputra]

Gacha player, especially people that keep yapping about powercreep in single player are mostly garbage.

The characters is weaker than the current roster : SKIP SKIP SKIP, WHY THIS CHARACTER EXISTS

The character is better than the current roster : THE GAME IS UNPLAYABLE, POWERCREEP POWERCREEP

Trash. I mains Calcharo and I will still mains him forever like how I main Diluc back then in Genshin. I can clear Hazard Tower and Holo Diff 6 with Calcharo so there is zero substance in this discussion.

Imagine being so obsessed about powercreep in a single player game.

Useless topic to discuss at all. They're acting like older character suddenly can't clear the latest content at all. BS

[dragonkus]

I don't mind if he powercreeps him at all..I invested on my calcharo I can clear the content with him so why would I bother investing on this new character that does pretty much the samething... even if he's free.. I still wouldn't level him up AND AND... on top of it TRUST ME he's not gonna powercreep him by much SPECIALLY if he's free...

[benedictvalencia]

I dont care anyways this character is free

[SheWannaVamp]

free five star? hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold hold UP! WE GETTING ANOTHER FREE FIVE STAR??

[bakakaiser]

Man all these people and CCs won't stop yapping about powercreep till they nerf the dude and then they'll get pissed, just stfu and let them cook, calcharo isn't even good, they need to replace him to let people have a reason to wish for yinlin

[Habeshalife]

Disappointed that Xiangli Yao isnt a rectifier user ... As a scientist and reading his kit. The rectifier should be his weapon. Not gonna pull for him 🥱 Male rectifier when???

[darktemplar]

Comparison is the thief of joy. You’re optimizing the fun out of the game, people should just play who they want to play at the end of the day. That doesn’t mean actively avoid meta, but if calcharo can still clear end game just fine then I see no point to a video like this.

[k-BlazeWuthringwaves]

bad takes not powercreep but powermid 😂 isay

[itsmantras]

I think we may have lost the meaning of powercreep. Powercreep would be if Calcharo was unusable in endgame content and then they release a new and better version of him that can clear the content but thats not whats happening. Calcharo is perfectly viable in all content in the game and you even said yourself that the difference between them is just the convenience. Seems like unjustified anger imo.
