[Juice-chan]

waiting for hoyo to make a crazy physical support that will exceed expectations

[iris_dt]

The Emilie hate wasn't deserved tbh! She is very useful

[LorisTheUntethered]

Nobody was expecting Navia to be the absolute powerhouse she was. Came out of nowhere with an amazing hat and single handedly brought Geo into a reneissance. I will never regret pulling because she was cute and ending up with an account definer.

nobody seems to remember that kazuha was seen as a meh character upon release! DEFINETLY is the unit that exceeded expectations the most

[pavelkolmakov]

I still remember likely the first case of this: "Cryo Amber", aka Ganyu. Although by now she has fallen from grace, back in the days she was the first character massively exceeding expectations.

Emilie's banner was up when i first started, and I managed to snag her a few days before it ended. Her lanterns have been carrying me pretty much this whole time.i dont know how many times her lanterns have killed bosses mid-attack because they got too close to it during their animations.

[Truck-kun]

Emilie is such a comfortable character to use + She hits like a truck in Burning Teams

[DodoRainy]

“Chevreuse Syndrome” I LOVE HOW CREATIVE YOU ARE WITH THE WORDING 😭

[comteqfr]

I love that people are saying "Chaska will be trash, her scaling is terrible" because Mihoyo isn't stupid enough to bring out a terrible DPS anymore, all new characters are designed with the others to come in mind.

Burning isn't interesting so Émilie sucks ? No worries, Natlan is coming and suddenly burning is sexy.

Kinich has issues with getting consistent and comfortable pyro application because Bennett and Xiangling can be clunky (Bennett because of the circle impact, Xiangling because it forces you to rotate counter clockwise and ER), no worries, Mavuika and pyro traveler are coming.

I'll make the bet that Citlali will either be a perfect melt support for Wrio or a nice complement to Mavuika for a melt core in Chaska teams all while giving all the interruption resistance and shield support that Chaska will ever want.

I remember seeing Emilie and going "Erm...." But after staring at her model for a bit longer, i can confirm that she is GORGEOUS and her design is AMAZING.

[adityawidarma]

ah yes my favorite Champion Duelist Coriander

[mhbarney]

I pulled Kokomi exactly because everyone doomposted her. One of my favourite units till this day.

[thearchivist]

There’s something special about investing into a character before the crowd. It’s like finding an amazing band before they hit it big. AIecchino is an amazing unit with near perfect design, but everyone pullled for her. I invested into Emilie because I loved her design, and I like leaning into “unconventional” reactions. You’re correct Chev created the blueprint, and I love that I was running a Dehya/Chev overload team almost day 1.

[angelofsaints]

To this day, I'm still unbelievably proud of c6 kokomi and r5 her signature on day one of her first banner. Watching the community crap on her for having negative crit rate, the entire duration of her banner while knowing that she was unbelievably good. Then watching the community panic after her banner went away as they realised she was the best healer the game had ever seen and could even put up high dmg numbers if you built her right. So worth it.

[emi]

Emilie has been my main since she came out, I was so excited for her and I’m so glad I didn’t listen to the community when they said she would be terrible. I have her C0 R1 and she’s so freaking powerful

[javelinmaster]

Many called Emilie mid.
I called them a fool.

Now Emilie is is happy in my Arleccino, Kinich and Mualani teams just as I predicted with Dehya

[LaksamanaAziz]

I really regretted not pulling for Emelie's. I'm considered pulling for her at her banner because she's so fun to play. It's just that i don't really have any plans to build burning team so I skipped her. Now I regretting it and her rerun probably in a year from now😭

[irrationalsense]

No regrets pulling for Xianyun or Emilie. I've been using them a lot.
I've got Chevreuse that I've gotta build eventually.

[neoinfinity]

Navia: I wasn’t even aware people didn’t like her at first only that some were worried she’s also mono geo DPS but after her kit was revealed she officially became my second geo pull and even got her weapon for her and Eula.

Xianyun: healer/buffer Sucrose i mained her after getting C6 Faruzan and even C4 Jean before the new selector and was happy she’s more fun and diverse than wonderer

Emilie: my new favorite Dendro and overall second favorite character after Sucrose, i loved her design and lore and was only worried she would be burning Nilou but thankfully she was as similar to Navia and even being off fielder which made her much more valuable for many pyro teams.

[bighat]

Getting great results with a unit most ppl call mid is lowkey the funniest, Emilie gang always on top! 🗣🔥
