Calcharo core problem is his dodge is extremely punishing during liberation state. If only they changed it so he could gain 2 stack upon dodge attack to offset the animation, then he will be great.
@@kavier2581 uhhh you know 3 dodge counters is more dmg than a death messenger right? 2dm + 3 dodge counter > 3dm. And your change would make him stronger than jiyan too lmao they'll have to remove swap cancelling on him to balance him
I use him with Jianxin and Spectro Rover, both their Outros can help him get his attacks done in peace. Though the new DPS characters really feel a whole level above him in convenience and we are getting Xiangli Yao. It seems like he will not be recommended to build in the future, but he can still act a lower ToA floor clearer.
Swap Spectro Rover for a Aalto. He can buff up the Jianxin and provide a clone that aggros all enemies for quite a while, depending on his resonance chain and stats (I think mainly HP). The Clone is also on a very short CD, so it's possible to quickswap him with Calcharro mit Death Messenger Attack, throw out a clone and swap back in time. (I'm not 100% sure the Jianxin Buff will stay on him through Quick Swap though, I think it may not, so that's something to consider)
nice video! i'm happy that you don't only talk about the bad, and even "play who you like" i agree so much. i main calcharo, my main team is him, spectro rover and jiyan. i totally understand why people don't like him, but personally i love him. i wanna know more of his lore, and i actually really love his animations (even though gameplay kinda clunky, i've gotten used to it and somehow worked my way around it) i never really cared about meta. if i can't clear endgame content, that's fine i don't really care. honestly, i'm playing my fave characters and having fun exploring, building characters and farming is getting fun too. and it's just refreshing, stress free when ur actually having fun in the game :)
Oh, yeah absolutely! people sometimes forget that you shouldnt speedrun all the content and build the meta build while forgetting that its possibly a way to take some fun away from the experience ^^
He the only one I really like playstyle and combat, very unique and clean look, gravity, physical of blade. Not like Jinshi, Changli who does not need touch on their weapon, floats on the air. Turn the game being Chinese martial arts of immortal. With ton of blindness vfx.... But I have to admit Cal too much under power, too much problem kits. Not worth for material invest.
i usually don't care about the meta i play characters that are "interesting" to me and calcharo WAS one of them based on his voices lines blabla, i thought his story was pretty cool and he looks pretty COOL, i even got yinlin for him but sadly that was it. In the beta the gameplay of these two was "smooth" you could cancel swap between them which got nerfed in the official. and i bet thats what dug his grave, (plus all the other cool looking 1000m damage characters arent helping him shine NOR THE UPCOMING FREE ELECTRO *coughcough*) maybe if i get more of his sequences then he will be better to play with. Also very nice vid keep up the good work 🤍
I know Xiangli Yao will probably replace him, META-wise. But still, I hope kuro buffs him to not be totally irrelevant. I don't mind a lower damage since he's so fun to use. Great video btw!
I totally agree. simply making Calcharo’s dodge counters restore Forte during his resonance liberation state would do so much for the character without significantly affecting his meta placement.
Calcharo is strong how he is, He will get Higher s over the time whole Limited sit on Low s for most player n His s are pretty good n significant over Encores
@@Nesteayy For me i felt like tinkering his Inherent Skill is much more better. Rather than just giving him def also add a shield where he can't be interrupted by enemy attack, after activating it and probably change it how it should be activated like rather than doing the Death Messenger HA just make it Mercy HA. Because personally it would suit him more to be a high risk reward gameplay than a defensive one.
Dodging during Liberation is the main issue. His Base Kit is super fun without the Ult, his counter attack is one of the best in the game IMO. (In terms of Reach and how fast it comes out) The normal skill is alright, ultimately it's just basic attacks with a different multiplier, they are rather quick (bar skill 3) and easy to use. All of that goes out the window when his Install is up... They should give him iFrames during certain resonance Liberation Attacks and/or at least give him more stacks for his extremely bloated, lengthy, counter attack animation...
Im a calcharo main and have cleared ToA and hologram with him. here are the things that makes him "bad" -You need to hit an enemy with reso skill to get the forte stack..Meanwhile havoc can easily stack his forte w/o the need to hit enemies with reso skill -His base and liberation dodge counters dont stack his forte circuit -His liberation duration is short especially when his attack animations especially basic atk 4 to 5 are somewhat long to connect -You need to connect EVERY atk animations of the death messenger to the enemies to do big dmg and since death messenger hitbox is large, small and medium enemies wont receive the whole dmg -His reso skill is useless during liberation because there is no change in animation that would fit well his liberation basic attack also his liberation duration is short (12 seconds) -Not all of his dmg is converted to reso liberation dmg even tho he is a liberation dmg dealer -He isnt a convenient character. You need to swap him off everytime the enemy attacks while calcharo is doing his death messenger atk since he becomes a sitting duck. Now if you pair him with yinlin, youre gonna lose the yinlin buff since it disappears when you switch out the active character that receives the buff -His inherent skill is mid -His sequences are trash except S6. S1 is meh -He's just overall slow and clunky. Dont use the "oh he's a broadblade user" as an excuse because jiyan is also a broadblade user but his attacks are fast and can easily parry attacks -His heavy attack has a half a second animation before launching the attack itself.
His E not that bad during the Liberation tho, u can use it to cancel animation if u not used to dash cancel. He's really hard to build 'cuz if we want to max out his dmg, we have to balance all things like Basic bonus, Heavy, and Liberation. Even though he is a Liberation type guy but his dmg spread to all stats, and most of them are useless except Liberation for Death Messenger. To max out his rotation, we have to either dash cancel or quick swap at god-tier level which is not newbie friendly. But yeah, if only he gets Forte for dodge counter and a new E during Liberation, it will be great. Idk why his S1 is so bad while Encore gets dmg bonus, but this guy is not, also Encore S2 gives her 20 Resonance Energy for 20s, but Calcharo only gets 10 per 20s. This guy kit is just so bad. Maybe because he matches with Yinlin? So they have to nerf him for balance.
@@Athns_ I literally pair calcharo with jianxin with marcato weapon or yuanwu S5. The shield from the two resonators makes it safe for me to do his basic 1 to 3-dash-basic 1 to 3-death messenger combo. Taoqi is much better but I dont use calcharo's skill during reso liberation I think his dodge counters should stack his forte circuit. Might as well increase the duration of his liberation to 16 secs since you need 5 basic attack animations to hit the enemy to gain 5 stacks
To be fair though: I don't get the "slow and clunky". Not when there's Jinshi. Jinshi does offset her clunkiness with tons of Nuke damage but it's still so bad to hit counters in the Dragon State and some of the attacks (3rd) take ages to come out. Without Liberation Form, Calcharo is super fluid, I'd say. I rarely have problems parrying with his basic attacks, especially his attack 1, which has a double hit box and good reach. His Dodge Counter, again, in base form, has excellent reach and comes out super quick too. If Calcharo didn't have an Install as his Liberation but a Nuke, he'd be top Tier. He'd arguably be 30% less cool, too, though.
I agree with you on the bad and the good part. I have s3 calcharo. I build him, he good but need to learn how to work around that bad part. I usually dodge counter in is liberation form or rotate until the enemy is knock.
yeah bro, he definetely is fun to play, but i would welcome it if kuro adjusts the clunkyness a little bit tbh. yeah when the enemy is knocked you can deal a Sh ton of damage for sure xD
Im still hoding my breath on what shorekeeper can do for him. If her dodge mechanic let's the onfield character dodge without the animation, this could still be good for calcharo since it's not his damage that's the problem but the execution to get the 3 death messenger
Calcharro will need some sort of buff or rework at some point. I like playing him like he feels cool but as soon as something puts up a fight his value drops.
In my opinion the problem is not his damage just that his kit is not as lenient once we get a support that increase interruption resistance he is gonna shine a bit more
All I need for Calcharo is resistance to interruptions during his Resonance Liberation. I don't care being vulnerable with my HP. I just don't want to get interrupted during combo strings.
@@RealBenjiro Nah. It doesn't help at all. I had Calcharo's S1 since Yinlin's Banner. At this point I might just wait for a support that provides interruption resistance consistently. Does shield characters provides some kind of interuption resists? Taoqi or Jianxin? I don't have Jianxin though. My Taoqi is low level.
I don't mind Calcharo weakness. A character need to have some weakness to make them interesting. Problem is, he is lacking the Strength, which is the dmg multiplier on certain attacks. And the fact that his liveration is very strict and punish players on dodge. So his signature move is slow and very restricted, but when he pulled it off, the dmg is just good, not great, not amazing. Same with his heavy attack and basic attack and modified basic attack.
Advice in the end of the day, play with whomever you like and feels fun to play, there are ppl with Chixia destroying lvl 100 holograms solo...I know he is clunky but i like his style, do i wish for Kuro to fix him up a bit? ye but i doubt it will happen, gacha companies usually dgaf about the flaws of a char once it´s out in the wild.
My main was Calcharo until I got Changli. And changli is a beast compared to him. Currently I stocked him and in the future if he becomes interested then I will invest on him.
Lol 😂 Changli + calcharo is the best calcharo team rn im faster with that than with chixia (or Encore ofc) Its difficult as hell but the best, u can check different Yt runs n see the timer
5:21 this comment is incorrect If you study Calcharo's echoes in that video, that is almost BIS level. Point is, you need to invest that much resources to make Calcharo viable Which if it's other character, they can do it better EVEN WITH LESS POWERFUL ECHOES. This comment and that video, put the ideas that normal player Calcharo can be that strong, when in actual fact, its doable, but very2 luck and resource intensive to do so, to the point, it's better to build 2~3 more characters instead of putting everything to Calcharo. Summary: Calcharo is bad, even with heavy investment, and is not worth to do so. Saying otherwise will hurt those that believe your words when they find out how much investment is needed for Calcharo to reach the point in that video.
I mentioned it in that video, and I mention it here too again, for a good comparison. Jihnsi with 2200 ATK, 86% Crit, 200% CritDmg (These is echoes is far worst compared to the echo in Calcharo video) Is clearing that Heron within 40~60 seconds.
Calcharo and Yinlin are so fun to play together for me those two are peak combat for wuwa, just waiting for better weapon for him. I will still build him to max doesnt matter if he gets worse over time i will still use them for a challenge for myself :D Would love to see more dope ass males as him in gacha's.
You know what his strengths are? 1. He's cheap (standard banner) 2. He's a good driver (jianxin, changli and yinlin buffs are good for him. Rover is the only one who makes as good use of as many supportive outros as him) 3. His teams have insane skill expression (can go from absolute dogwater to highest dps team in the game - currently cal/changli. Edit: nvm jinhsi changli clears easily)
Oh yes i like the „skill“ chars much more aswell. the gameplan of jinshi for example or jiyan is a little too bland imo. Even if they look absolutely great
I invested so much on Calcharo since he's my first ever five star DPS. I just screwed up on his weapon, but I wish they gave him a signature weapon too. A sephiroth looking heavy sword would be perfect for him.
Encore is changli’s best partner. Both dps rely heavily on swap cancellations and if you pair the 2 with verina w/ a damage echo set. It’s a beastly and fun team. Tho I recommend switching out the 4* fusion echo for an instant release one.
I really don't like the "you can clean all the content with any characters!" argument Yeah surely if you put Verina + Yinlin Any main dps lvl 90, talents lvl 10 with a 5 star weapon, busted echoes & maybe some sequences can clean the content even Baizhi ofc But not everyone have/use broken support/sub dps & broken build And you can clearly see the differences it makes & how hard the dps check can be achievable without them So don't be afraid of saying that he is bad Because he is Just like how Danjin sucks pretty badly at S0 & is just correct at S6
Yeah man you got a point, but some people dont even play untill the late game and for them its fine to run an inefficient build with a kinda bad character like calcharo for example
Hes good but a lot mechanic, shuffle basic+ skill, swap dms, cancel liberation atks, trigger buffs in right order etc etc I like that n if u do it right, his dmg is pretty strong He dont have a perfect teampartner yet (yinlin isnt, shes comfort, changli is a LOOOOOT better with him, even when she is fusion) His dps is peak if he isnt a lot on field n u swap everything out, while deal dmg with another good onfield dps swap unit He isnt very accessible but some very good player like that cz he need a very skilled pilot
You work your ass of to fill the forte bar, then activate it for mediocre dmg and 10% RL dmg buff, eh. All of his budget went into his appearance. If Calcharo was treated properly like a limited 5*, Jiyan has no chance against him revenue wise.
I''m sorry but I must say I disagree with your assessment especially when it comes to swap cancelling his Death Messenger. Saying swap cancelling will disrupt your rotation just means you didn't design your rotation with swap cancelling in mind in the first place and I fail to understand how you are "missing out on his outro ability" when it's not like you'll lose his concerto energy from swap cancelling Death Messenger. In fact, it's largely agreed upon that the reason swap cancelling is discouraged now is because Kuro changed swap canceling so Calcharo would lose Yinlin's buff upon swap cancelling at version 1.0. However, this issue is actually not as relevant as it used to be ever since people discovered how to do a 4 Death Messenger rotation that works great with Changli. You're able to swap cancel their attacks into each others for a very smooth rotation if you put in the time to learn how to do it and it is absolutely a competitive way to play in the Tower of Adversity. For reference, my S0 level 80 Calcharo and S0 level 80 Changli both using standard 5* weapons are able to 3 stars clear middle tower heron with 22 seconds left to spare and they don't even have very good echoes. Now while I do think when compared to jinhsi or jiyan Calcharo is certainly not as straight forward to play and you're required to put in a lot more effort it doesn't mean you can't find a fun way to play him to bring him to a competitive level if you're willing to put in the time to learn all the intricacies of the character and develop a playstyle that actually suits him. I would recommend people to look into how to perform the 4 Death Messenger rotation and try him in team other than yinlin + calcharo + verina.
11 second of uptime for his kit is simple too low, if you have to dodge or chase the enemy you can potentially lose 40% of his damage per rotation, Xiangli Yao fixed all of this issues with 24 second of uptime and he can dodge counter and also gain forte with that attack, basically he is Calcharo with double damage and none of his clunkiness and his kit problems, honestly Calcharo is not worth build IMO and i regret not using the ticket for Encore instead, once Yao release i will probably never play Calcharo again, he gonna stay at level 80 forever
One more thing about Calcharo is that he feels much softer compared to other characters. I dunno why. I take more dmg from enemies when I play him and other main dps not as much dmg taken when I get hit. Maybe that's that why one of his major traces has a passive to reduce dmg taken.
What do you think about him?
I honestly still like his playstyle despite his problems. :=)
He’s my baby girl and I will always stay by his side. 😂❤

Thats a good idea to be honest.
I currently play changli and rover for the free to play convenience.
i found Chixia to very good aswell because of her liberation.
She does insane damage with Changli.
@@ThomasAndy-qu8dp was thinking about pairing my changli with her but i dont want to spend materials and wait
I really don't like the "you can clean all the content with any characters!" argument
Yeah surely if you put Verina + Yinlin
Any main dps lvl 90, talents lvl 10 with a 5 star weapon, busted echoes & maybe some sequences can clean the content
even Baizhi
ofc
But not everyone have/use broken support/sub dps & broken build
And you can clearly see the differences it makes & how hard the dps check can be achievable without them
So don't be afraid of saying that he is bad
Because he is
Just like how Danjin sucks pretty badly at S0 & is just correct at S6
Yeah man you got a point, but some people dont even play untill the late game and for them its fine to run an inefficient build with a kinda bad character like calcharo for example
Hes good but a lot mechanic, shuffle basic+ skill, swap dms, cancel liberation atks, trigger buffs in right order etc etc
I like that n if u do it right, his dmg is pretty strong
He dont have a perfect teampartner yet (yinlin isnt, shes comfort, changli is a LOOOOOT better with him, even when she is fusion)
His dps is peak if he isnt a lot on field n u swap everything out, while deal dmg with another good onfield dps swap unit
He isnt very accessible but some very good player like that cz he need a very skilled pilot
Thx for the insight bro.
You sure, changli pairs better with him? Whats the reason for that 🤔
what do yoy mean Yinlin is comfort ? She buff all his damage AND give electro coordinated attacks, it goes perfectly on his kit lol
@@ThomasAndy-qu8dp thats what i thought ^^
I regret putting max resources into him.
uff...
Just play him as a challange I guess 😂
To be honest, i regret choosing him to pull, i wish i gone langyang or encore
Get yourself xiangliyao 👍🏻
if his stack can be gain even if cancel animation /dodge. it worth to use him.
@@kliverjohn for sure but ya know🤷🏻♂️
Oof, I guess with free Yao in the future, Cal will suffer more.
Probably yeah, yao pairs with yinlin so...
I like him for his high number dgame as dpser..
You work your ass of to fill the forte bar, then activate it for mediocre dmg and 10% RL dmg buff, eh.
All of his budget went into his appearance.
If Calcharo was treated properly like a limited 5*, Jiyan has no chance against him revenue wise.
Ohhh yes especially because he is the only „real“ badass man character xD
Most badass character with such flaws in his kit. Looks like Mihoyo has bited Kuro 😂
They decided to not flex too hard on genshin 😂
Latest update on Xiangli Yao:
He gets few forte stack when doing dodge counter. Calculator could never 😂
@@hamzahmuhsin7294 pov calcuro players: 😳🔫
I''m sorry but I must say I disagree with your assessment especially when it comes to swap cancelling his Death Messenger. Saying swap cancelling will disrupt your rotation just means you didn't design your rotation with swap cancelling in mind in the first place and I fail to understand how you are "missing out on his outro ability" when it's not like you'll lose his concerto energy from swap cancelling Death Messenger. In fact, it's largely agreed upon that the reason swap cancelling is discouraged now is because Kuro changed swap canceling so Calcharo would lose Yinlin's buff upon swap cancelling at version 1.0. However, this issue is actually not as relevant as it used to be ever since people discovered how to do a 4 Death Messenger rotation that works great with Changli. You're able to swap cancel their attacks into each others for a very smooth rotation if you put in the time to learn how to do it and it is absolutely a competitive way to play in the Tower of Adversity. For reference, my S0 level 80 Calcharo and S0 level 80 Changli both using standard 5* weapons are able to 3 stars clear middle tower heron with 22 seconds left to spare and they don't even have very good echoes.
Now while I do think when compared to jinhsi or jiyan Calcharo is certainly not as straight forward to play and you're required to put in a lot more effort it doesn't mean you can't find a fun way to play him to bring him to a competitive level if you're willing to put in the time to learn all the intricacies of the character and develop a playstyle that actually suits him. I would recommend people to look into how to perform the 4 Death Messenger rotation and try him in team other than yinlin + calcharo + verina.
@@ogopogo1109 well you got a point buddy!
Thx for the insight!
Fun to play but dmg is too low. They need to give him like a flat 20% dmg increase across the board.
It would probably make him op then…
Guess we wait till we got a dedicated shielder like Genshin does.
They are cooking with 1.3 ^^
We might get a good partner for calcharo there…
but shield don't really work like in GI here.
If an attack can knock you out, it will work even if you have the shield.
@@ThomasAndy-qu8dp The idea is damage negation and super armor for a few hit.
It's doesn't have to be overly tanky.
I got 2:30 with lvl 70 full build cal half build xianhua- verina and 3:00 with lvl 60 half build changli-encore-verina
👌🏻
11 second of uptime for his kit is simple too low, if you have to dodge or chase the enemy you can potentially lose 40% of his damage per rotation, Xiangli Yao fixed all of this issues with 24 second of uptime and he can dodge counter and also gain forte with that attack, basically he is Calcharo with double damage and none of his clunkiness and his kit problems, honestly Calcharo is not worth build IMO and i regret not using the ticket for Encore instead, once Yao release i will probably never play Calcharo again, he gonna stay at level 80 forever
Aiaiai bro got a useless lvl80 now ^^
Maybe they fix him but i wouldnt count on that.
I mean a free yao is a good replacement for sure 🤷🏻♂️👍🏻
Isnt most of this solved by playing him with Yinlin ans Jianxin?
@@halorocksaz42 solved as in „late game viable“ yes.
But his problems still remain
I main Aalto. XD I don't think Cal is worse. XD T_T
You a real veteran if you pull him off 😂👉👉
what a cute white boy
He is too cool not to build.
If you still wanna build regardless of his weaknesses thats fine tbh…
Crap i just maxed him fully.
😂 dont worry bro
shorekeeper will fix him
She might actually tbh. XD
Calcharo no bad. We is bad.
😂
Well his damage is quite big... But, he's clungky and not fun to play.
@@al.munara he is more so fun, because of aesthetics and the combat being fun in general imo ^^
He is clunky, gets punished for dodging, is bad at parrying and provides no value for the team.

Calcha mid
Why did they make him so ugly? I got him but can get myself to play such an ugly character.
@@THESocialJusticeWarrior he looks cool but you probably mean his kit… ^^
One more thing about Calcharo is that he feels much softer compared to other characters. I dunno why. I take more dmg from enemies when I play him and other main dps not as much dmg taken when I get hit. Maybe that's that why one of his major traces has a passive to reduce dmg taken.
Dont know if thats true, but i guess you get hit more often when his kit literally forbids him to dodge counterattack 😂🗿
