COMBAT GAMEPLAY COMPARISON | Wuthering Waves vs Genshin Impact

Probably the most unfair comparison so far due to the different focus of the games (casual combat vs non-casual combat), but it has to be done. Here's a video that will show you the difference between the two games' combat.
Character gimmicks such as Nilou's Bountiful Core or any of Wuthering Waves' forte circuits won't be compared since they're pretty much tied to the characters exclusively as opposed to the core game mechanic and therefore should be exempted from the comparison.
Unfortunately, I'm not good at swap-cancelling so I won't make a remark on that. Also, I'm not that good at using Echoes, so you'll definitely find better examples elsewhere.
No offense to Aether (my fave in Genshin) in the thumbnail, but I just can't find a better person to represent the game lol.

i want that "ding" parry sfx in WW to be my notification bell

[@echo3568]

Dude that would be so cool but so terrifying

[@tsukiri_masho]

One thing I can say and like about Wuwa is. No two characters play the same. Each one has their own individual animations. Their elements/ weapon doesn't define them. Which makes their personality more stand out (Except gunner's aimed-shot & air-shot)
The enemy is more active & reactive. Its a looping feedbacks between dodging, parrying and countering. You can do your usual rotations but the enemy can stop your flowchart, so you have to adapt too

[@GodSejeong]

The devs had HI3 to take notes from, and yet...🤷

[@klng1285]

Even characters using the same weapon type don't hold their weapons the same style

[@arthurgeier2545]

@@Frostborne2778 Genshin is not the best but definitely not worse than Wuwa either. It is great in its own ways.
Btw, I am both Wuwa and GI + MH sometimes.
So there is that

[@Nole2701]

Not to mention that for endgame genshin players, whenever a new world boss gets added we can usually kill it a few seconds after it wakes up. We don't even see its full mechanic unless it gets added as a lv100 boss in abyss floor 12.

[@dark_wolf260]

For parries in WW you also need to study the hitboxes of both the enemies and the characters, what makes it even more complex

[@ronaldocandelo4784]

I love that every character in WuWa is useful being on field and really looking like a team, with only 3 characters, Genshin you just really see one character on field cause the other 3 disappear after one second and don’t use them anymore, WuWa has style, combat, companions, Outros and Intros, Echos, more abilities more COMBOS.

blown away by their combat mechanics, even though i am at open world fatigue since ToF (former Traveler but left Teyvat since Nov 2022) so yeah...
P.S. parrying actually exist in genshin, but only as a one-time event only :v and was never used again (also only traveler can do it, but forgot, kek)

[@GodSejeong]

@@hehuho890 That's not a parry, that's a guard followed by a counterattack. Parry means deflecting an attack by striking it.

[@hijodelsoldeoriente]

Parry doesn't exist on its combat foundation. A new combat mechanic limited in an event doesn't make that mechanic "existing" in general.

[@MirZafri]

Now a lot player genshin are leave that game and instaed play wuwa😂

[@rzor1911]

Me lol, it makes me question if i should invest my time on genshin

[@kurorenji_art]

Not to mention in WuWa some boss even able to parry the player. I guess Scar is like a sneak peek of a more complex Boss mechanic we may get in the future. Who knows maybe it gonna be like PGR's bosses.

[@kingofbel6499]

After playing WuWa I went back to Genshin cuz waifus and the combat isn't absolutely terrible, as I enjoy the elemental reactions a lot, but man it definitely isn't as satisfying as WuWa combat. I can grind for hours in WuWa and have fun with, but in Genshin I already sigh after I beat up a few enemies for the dailies.

[@klng1285]

After 3 years, you can kinda see the pattern of GI's character combat. Most of the time, only half the character's kit is used, the rest can be whatever, specially their basic atk, very faithful to their weapon types no matter if the character is a civilian or a fighter

[@rzor1911]

That's so true the time limit: 1:53

[@winstonyang2234]

bro genshins fighting style is so boring you cant speedblitz to it doesnt feel like a cool anime fight

[@谛听-o]

After playing wuthering waves I forgot how to play genshin, for me wuwa is easier because I can avoid damage by dodging and parry and in genshin you can't which makes it difficult for me
