Iyo is completely valid with this take. Given we have seen bosses like Something Unto Death stealing teammates, multiple elites get beefier like Past, Present & Future initiate 2 actions each per cycle, & Apocalyptic Shadow bosses going multiple times, it feels like Star Rail is warning/prepping us to grab characters for elites/bosses who could potentially act 3-4 times per cycle. Which is why I’m glad I’m going for Yunli! Edit: I lost the 50/50 for both Yunli & her Lightcone 🥲
I remember when even clowned him about what he said about topaz and how shes future proof even after her rerun i saw people saying shes trash i cant wait for a gen 2 fua character to come out
@@kaizenariasShe may not be exceptional on her own but she’s the very definition of future proof. Any new FUA characters will literally not be able to reach their maximum damage potential without Topaz. Her Proof of Debt debuff is a whole 50% damage buff to any FUA, that is not an insignificant buff in the slightest.
On the topic of Jade, I do feel like a lot of people have perhaps missed that one of her greatest strengths is that her kit, especially at E1, works almost precisely as well as her Debt Collector does. Obviously, she is tuned towards wanting to be paired with Erudition or FUA units, but in practical terms the main thing that she cares about is having an "active" Debt Collector. The more actions that her Debt Collector is able to take, the more potent she becomes. What this means in terms of "Future Proofing" is that any new character design that is able to increase the action economy, directly benefits Jade. New character design that has multiple summons that can end up allowing a character to perform 5 or more "attacks" per turn cycle? Strong pairing with Jade. New character that has some action advance mechanic that allows them to perform 4 or more actions per cycle? Strong pairing with Jade. New unit that has an incredibly low Energy cost ultimate that can be spammed 2-3 times per cycle? Strong pairing with Jade. The more active the Debt Collector is, the higher the upside for Jade. Obviously there are trade-offs with having a high action frequency, as that would presumably be balanced around having lower damage potential per action, but if Jade is able to leverage the increased action economy into a greater number of FUAs, then total damage increases. And within the context of Pure Fiction, the flexibility of having her always paired with some other unit that can meet its trigger condition allows her to be viable even in situations where certain other units may struggle. Pure Fiction with a bunch of High Toughness / High HP enemies that attack frequently? Himeko/Herta may struggle due to having difficulties meeting their trigger conditions in that scenario, but Yunli/Clara would probably get a lot of actions and be good Debt Collectors for Jade. Because of the flexibility where Jade can just be paired with some other unit that is good for that particular Pure Fiction, I find it hard to imagine Jade ever having a cycle where she isn't one of the top options. However, I can think of an enemy composition where some combination of Himeko & Herta & Yunli & Clara & Acheron & Black Swan & Kafka & Argenti are bad. Maybe not all of them are "bad" at the same time but some combination of them are bad for that specific Pure Fiction because of the specific enemy composition. Simply place Jade with whomever among those characters isn't "bad" for that Pure Fiction and she will function reasonably well. I think that is perhaps another element of where the design is going to be headed. You have units that are designed to fill a specific niche, but are flexible in how they accomplish that niche (Jade). And then you have the specialized units that do a specific thing extremely well but underperform if they cannot take advantage of that specialization (Yunli). So Jade can fit onto any Pure Fiction team, but she needs paired with a more specialized unit that can handle the specific enemy composition that is present. Her viability in any given team composition is based on the effectiveness of the Debt Collector assigned. As long as you have a good Debt Collector, Jade will perform effectively. An extremely large quantity of low HP mobs? Pair with Herta. A lower quantity of High HP Elites that have a higher attack frequency and lots of counterattack opportunity? Pair with Yunli. Ruan Mei sort of fits that role within Apocalyptic Shadow. Her ability to buff Break Efficiency makes her fill a specific break-related niche, but it is flexible. Meanwhile Firefly and Boothill provide a more specialized role for Break. But I can imagine some scenario where Boothill perhaps underperforms in Apocalyptic Shadow due to an AoE-oriented Boss, where he struggles because he is so single target focused. And we may see an even more AoE-focused Break character come out in the future to address that specialization need.
I have to say bro, i was all over your ass on your "other" video, but this one was thought provoking, and informative. Good info. And delivered as if you are on earth like the rest of us. Well done brotha and good to see you back. Take care brotha
You guy's are so dense you can't understand the fact that new character are doing billions of dmg doesn't make old one irrelevant rn the powercreep is pretty irrelevant because you can still clear the content with them so stop yapping about powercreep or at least read the definition of it
Definitely getting Yunli just because i like the counter playstyle. Already have a Firefly team, follow up team and a Acheron team that can clear most content in the game so just getting characters i find fun to play.
This is literally how they make money. Money lies in DPS characters, not sustainers. You can afford to run 1.0 sustainers easily. However you simply have to keep refreshing your DPS characters since every 6 months they’ll fall off way harder and you will struggle.
Sonic CD OST in the background, nice. Also for a 1.0 character, JingYuan is definitely the most indirect/direct buffed unit in this game. He gets a new toy every other patch. I'm glad since he's my favorite character.
It just feels super hard to justify rolling for Yunli when I got an E2 Clara who is already built. That'd just be too big of a waste of resources when I have a character who is literally just "You but better". I might try for the Lightcone to make Clara bridge their DPS gap a little more, but even that feels like asking for a lot. Should just treat this patch as an easy skip.
The gen thing kinda dumb imo but i get what you mean about certain enemies catering to characters but MoC and stuff always did that. It just became even more prominent
as i see feixiao kits, i start to like it more, yunli does seem nice with her ultimate considered as ultimate dmg (since it does not attack but enhances your fua)
@@nuggiesss6193 its called having speed on a character, as i see now she have 125 basic speed and more in her traces in v1, and her kit does the best dmg in her ult, her main source of dmg is still fua, while you wait for your acheron to do the ult, feixiao does fua every now and then before ulting and actually doing something as most people just put atk boots on acheron and wait for her to ult And lets not forget about topaz and any character that does fua alright?
@@hvcskmagyar look for more leaks. Speed build with topaz and it still takes a while to get her ult up. Every two hits she gains one stack from other characters. She needs 12 stacks I believe Looked at the ult again, looks like you can use it at 6 stacks but it’s not nearly as strong as 12. Have you hit the enemy 24 times to get the max stacks on ult
@@nuggiesss6193 i mean yeah you are right, but to counter it, who the f#ck have 1680% scaling? 😅 (i did not notice that 2 attack required to get 1 stack, i just read it wrong and tought 1 attack gives 2 stacks thats why i said it as it made more sense, and in my defense, the real v1 does sound dumb in terms of stacks, but i guess that multiplier gives it a reason, could have done 1 attack 1 stack tbh)
She still absolutely can. I've cleared MoC and AS with her. But I do agree with Iyo that Seele isn't becoming weaker, but that the game is evolving to support the newer units because ofc, the new units have to sell somehow. Do you have to? Personally no, I skipped Acheron cuz I was saving for Robin, and then I skipped Boothill and Firefly for whatever reason unsure. And then I'm skipping Feixiao cuz I want Lingsha. And I've cleared MoC, PF, and AS with the gen 1 DPS's. But yeah I am maybe thinking of picking up a gen 2 DPS at some point. It'll prolly be Boothill cuz I like his character and design a lot.
@@notxendras7730 I don't think it will. Her kit is still really good when optimized correctly. Only way if that does happen is if there comes a time when another Hunt character releases with the same exact mechanics as her but with far higher multipliers than her, which I highly doubt they'll copy paste Resurgence any time soon. So we're definitely safe as Seele mains. I love ma girl as well
Happy to see that the criticism didn't get to you, although i think all of it is deserved it mostly the way they criticise you and the way you try to respond to criticism, love you tho ❤
New player here, seems like they are doing this to justify no second reruns. It would be problematic to sell characters that can’t keep up, so they just make better ones. Conveniently it increases the fomo when players miss one too. Really wish I had started earlier and gotten my hands on Kafka 😢
I like the direction the game is going because it makes everything more synergy focused rather than how hard did u invest into this one character/relic set and the endgame mode have been promoting this from the start Moc has an impactful buff but you can still brute force it Pure fiction was the first big indicator of if you can use these buffs well u can full clear Now with shadow it’s u must use these buffs well twice makes me hyped for future characters
Historically only Raiden Mei has been able to powercreep Raiden Mei, so it wouldnt be out of the question for later characters to not be stronger than Acheron. Its still early and many teams are not even complete yet, so my money is still on focusing on team archetype rather than on individual units.
@@solarenity It is literally his opinions about video games though. If you want to get on him for his ego, that's fine, but then why don't you do the same for Tectone's ego? 💀
@@keneunaegbu851 i play since 1.0, not everyone has the same luck man, i won a single 50/50 in my entire HSR account my man, and it was on luocha’s banner, after that i lost every single 50/50, so yup, def a new player issue, blud forgot that this is a gacha game and everything from artifact luck to the characters you get is pure RNG, tried to get yunli in this patch? Game decided to give me an E2 bronya, thank god im getting out of this curse with this guaranteed, so getting feixiao.
@NFYT I get unlucky too. It's just that I make different pulling decisions compared to most people so I can save for the characters I REALLY like. I literally had 0 stellar jades at the beginning of this patch pulling for Jades lc which I clutched, but I know I will be ready for Feixiao. At the same time, I'm also skipping Lingsha, so my Firefly team will kinda suffer. I'm not a big fan of Firefly tbh...
Yeah of course this is going to happen over time. Devs get new ideas to experiment with over time. What is obvious to me also is that SUPPORTS/HARMONY characters are the bridge to bring your old favourite characters over to the new content as it gets more evolved. You can't have all this work done for free for people to buy one set of characters and be done with it. They are paying for servers and wages as this is a live service game, so content HAS TO evolve to give customers value to continue participating so we can all lead starward. At the end of the day, it's a business.
I disagree with statement to pick new char cos old cant keep up. If you pick up harmony chars and keep pushing eidolons on harmony, your dps whoever it is will work for you and brute force stuf. Also you can go eidolons for dps to. So pick char you like.
ay iyo what do you think about feixiao? she seems interesting, a single target unit that actually does comparable DMG to AoE units (she has a 1600% multiplier which is WILD), seems like she's going to elevate FUA teams to a whole new level
The thing with "character generations" is not so much that they're strictly better than the earlier characters, it's the devs nudging the players into the direction of actually understanding the mechanics and their implications. Less brute force and less random teams around one specific character - more playing around the turbulence/whimsicality/whatever it's called in AS and actual win conditions. The game is getting more nuanced. You can't just play your favourite characters on a team - you need to actually have a strategy. The "gen 2" characters are trying to push the players into realising the archetypes, like FuA or DoT. The latter still performs great without Swan on the team, you just need to actually build for DoT and run it in an appropriate scenario, instead of trying to play Kafka hypercarry into non lightning-weak enemies. So yeah, getting and building a team around a newer character is a very sound idea. Through that you can actually learn how teambuilding works, and play the game how the devs intended
Unrelated to HSR, but I am genuinely curious. Have you tried Changli yet? The mechanical skill required to play her is very similar to that in FGCs, and she has the most techs out of all gacha games. She also can juggle bosses like crownless really well. I think you'd really enjoy playing her.
Wait I'm a bit confused at to why you think 0 cycles aren't a good indicator of how strong a character is? Isn't their damage and how fast they can deal their damage all that matters? If you've got a different idea of what a "strong character" is I'd really like to hear your thoughts on that
I really don't agree with a dual dps team with Firefly and Boothill. Why would you play a Super Break team without Harm MC? I feel like Firefly, Ruan Mei, Harm MC and Gallagher is the super break team. Am I wrong?
The premiere team I was using as an example is primarily sustainless. I wasn’t referencing to use the same team without HMC, but instead without Boot. That’s my bad if those words came out of my mouth in the video tho.
Ohh okay I get what he's saying and I kinda agree. It's like we're getting revamped versions of previous character CONCEPTS. Yunli is a revamp of the counter character concept. Robin is a revamp of the advanced forward support, black swan - Dot revamp (imo) etc So it's more kit design creep, they're that too push you towards newer characters
I dunno dude, she can't negative edge so, for me, she's pretty mid. Like clara which is not bad but there could be better characters to invest into. Like arlan.
Yunli does a lot more damage, generates a lot more energy (and thus can Ult significantly faster), has self-sustain capabilities, and does blast damage across her entire kit. She may fill a similar role, but she is definitely a lot stronger.
i don't agree with this take since ultimately, this is a support game, DPS means nothing compares to harmonies, like I destroy all current tailor made events for firefly with Himeko but in reality it's just all Ruan Mei in the end. For exempel E6 a DPS is good but E6 a support will make your account safe forever. So talking about 1.5/2.0, I mean there is definetly a "meta" in HSR but in the end, it's always harmonies that carry the team, just pull for harmonies.
I came back to HSR after 7 months with my heavily unoptimized E2S1 DHIL and E1S1 JL and I cleared Apoc 9, PF 8 and MoC 10. Why the F should I bother with anything to do with the meta of this game? I know that if I pulled an E2S1 Acheron and E2S1 Firefly tomorrow and decked them out I’ll probably be in the clear for a whole year. If not longer. Not my fault that Hoyo made them OP. I just don’t see what these “meta” discussions regarding horizontal investment does anything for anyone. I’m barely missing out on 4.5 pulls PER PATCH with my “Gen 1.5” and I’m pretty sure I’d lose less when I’ve actually gotten them good relics. Nah it’s better to wait for the next Acheron or DHIL and throw everything I’ve got at them and finally relegate my JL to ice only. All this talk of dual DPS and Gen 2 or whatever simply sounds like whale bait to me
When Yunli get's attacked after she uses her Ult she kara cancel's the enemies negative edge

Glad you back to making videos. I don’t know why people were getting mad over you stating your opinions about a game.
did you even watch the video lil bro
@@solarenity It is literally his opinions about video games though. If you want to get on him for his ego, that's fine, but then why don't you do the same for Tectone's ego? 💀
@@solarenityLiterally just his opinion bud
im talking about his ego man. im fine with iyo but that video he made was dumb and made him look terrible. s@@llamah9522
whats the opinion exactly? that Wuthering waves doesnt have a him 💀?@@idkyolo988
Finally, been waiting so long for a new vid after what Jade turned out to be
PF meta?
@@keneunaegbu851 only good on 1/3 endgame (the easiest one as for now) is wild
@NFYT Sounds like a new player issue, plus I have E1, so I'm chilling 🤷
@@keneunaegbu851 i play since 1.0, not everyone has the same luck man, i won a single 50/50 in my entire HSR account my man, and it was on luocha’s banner, after that i lost every single 50/50, so yup, def a new player issue, blud forgot that this is a gacha game and everything from artifact luck to the characters you get is pure RNG, tried to get yunli in this patch? Game decided to give me an E2 bronya, thank god im getting out of this curse with this guaranteed, so getting feixiao.
@NFYT I get unlucky too. It's just that I make different pulling decisions compared to most people so I can save for the characters I REALLY like. I literally had 0 stellar jades at the beginning of this patch pulling for Jades lc which I clutched, but I know I will be ready for Feixiao. At the same time, I'm also skipping Lingsha, so my Firefly team will kinda suffer. I'm not a big fan of Firefly tbh...
Yeah of course this is going to happen over time. Devs get new ideas to experiment with over time. What is obvious to me also is that SUPPORTS/HARMONY characters are the bridge to bring your old favourite characters over to the new content as it gets more evolved. You can't have all this work done for free for people to buy one set of characters and be done with it. They are paying for servers and wages as this is a live service game, so content HAS TO evolve to give customers value to continue participating so we can all lead starward. At the end of the day, it's a business.
Oh they're gonna start adding Bronya to Aventurine's boss fight aren't they?
Main channel?! HSR?!
Is this real, chat? Are we back?
Back and looking good, as well as sounding good, brother. Stay healthy and keep a good mental.
Iyo, I just want to say that I enjoy your content. Keep it up!
Glad you enjoy it and thank you, big dawg! :D
This video makes sense
I disagree with statement to pick new char cos old cant keep up. If you pick up harmony chars and keep pushing eidolons on harmony, your dps whoever it is will work for you and brute force stuf. Also you can go eidolons for dps to. So pick char you like.
5:30 wtf is that firefly team lmao, and rplacing hmc with gallaher its even worse LMAO get boothill outta there
ay iyo what do you think about feixiao? she seems interesting, a single target unit that actually does comparable DMG to AoE units (she has a 1600% multiplier which is WILD), seems like she's going to elevate FUA teams to a whole new level
Feixiao is about to be my second Acheron from what I’ve been seeing. I’m loving her so far.
"this is why i love her" proceeds to show a no lightcone no relic seele
The thing with "character generations" is not so much that they're strictly better than the earlier characters, it's the devs nudging the players into the direction of actually understanding the mechanics and their implications. Less brute force and less random teams around one specific character - more playing around the turbulence/whimsicality/whatever it's called in AS and actual win conditions.
The game is getting more nuanced. You can't just play your favourite characters on a team - you need to actually have a strategy.
The "gen 2" characters are trying to push the players into realising the archetypes, like FuA or DoT. The latter still performs great without Swan on the team, you just need to actually build for DoT and run it in an appropriate scenario, instead of trying to play Kafka hypercarry into non lightning-weak enemies.
So yeah, getting and building a team around a newer character is a very sound idea. Through that you can actually learn how teambuilding works, and play the game how the devs intended
Unrelated to HSR, but I am genuinely curious. Have you tried Changli yet? The mechanical skill required to play her is very similar to that in FGCs, and she has the most techs out of all gacha games. She also can juggle bosses like crownless really well. I think you'd really enjoy playing her.
Yeah, I love Changli! She makes me actively think about my choices in WuWa.
good take iyo
Wait I'm a bit confused at to why you think 0 cycles aren't a good indicator of how strong a character is? Isn't their damage and how fast they can deal their damage all that matters? If you've got a different idea of what a "strong character" is I'd really like to hear your thoughts on that
You`ve returned to the Express.
Let's say of future Boss have 2 mil hp how dots gonna compete? Need dot Harmony.
We goober canceling with this one ladies and gentlemen
I really don't agree with a dual dps team with Firefly and Boothill. Why would you play a Super Break team without Harm MC? I feel like Firefly, Ruan Mei, Harm MC and Gallagher is the super break team. Am I wrong?
The premiere team I was using as an example is primarily sustainless. I wasn’t referencing to use the same team without HMC, but instead without Boot. That’s my bad if those words came out of my mouth in the video tho.
@@Iyoverse ok, that makes more sense. Thanks for the clarification. Keep up the good work!
You said what I was thinking. Is the game changing that is changing, thus making things more difficult for old characters.
Ohh okay I get what he's saying and I kinda agree. It's like we're getting revamped versions of previous character CONCEPTS. Yunli is a revamp of the counter character concept. Robin is a revamp of the advanced forward support, black swan - Dot revamp (imo) etc
So it's more kit design creep, they're that too push you towards newer characters
They hear our concerns and make feixiao as strong as acheron)
I dunno dude, she can't negative edge so, for me, she's pretty mid. Like clara which is not bad but there could be better characters to invest into. Like arlan.
OK I am afraid of Kara-Canceling round 2, because you actually missused "snapshot" conception in this video)
I really wanted Seele. Hope she comes back soon.
Acheron lore wise a Emanator, Firefly literally destroyed a planet, hehehe
Does yunli have kara cancel? If not ill negative edge her to oblivion
I'll let you know after tonight. Gonna extensively Wave Dash on her crown.
@@Iyoverse damn imma drive impact her big ah sword
11:21 bruh your adventurine does damage because of ROBIN obviously lmao
What if I have Acheron, Firefly, and Yunli? Oh and I'm terrible at the game. Some of Yunli's pieces I don't have. No Sparkle, no Robin. 🤪
ayo the Baiken shirt tho
Day 1 saving for Jingliu's mom
yeah johto was my favorite gen too
Nah, im good, GET ME MY FEIXIAO 🗣💯
Yunli is Clara, Clara is Yunli, they are one in the same 😎
Clara to Yunli: "I am you."
Yunli does a lot more damage, generates a lot more energy (and thus can Ult significantly faster), has self-sustain capabilities, and does blast damage across her entire kit. She may fill a similar role, but she is definitely a lot stronger.
i don't agree with this take since ultimately, this is a support game, DPS means nothing compares to harmonies, like I destroy all current tailor made events for firefly with Himeko but in reality it's just all Ruan Mei in the end. For exempel E6 a DPS is good but E6 a support will make your account safe forever. So talking about 1.5/2.0, I mean there is definetly a "meta" in HSR but in the end, it's always harmonies that carry the team, just pull for harmonies.
I love you Iyo :)
WuWA
Is this really iyo? Something seems off in this vid. He isn’t giving the same aura he usually gives out in his past videos
I was in my recovery mode during the recording stage of this video. LOL
@@Iyoverse what happened? I hope you are feeling better now.
So she’s not Clara 2.0?
I came back to HSR after 7 months with my heavily unoptimized E2S1 DHIL and E1S1 JL and I cleared Apoc 9, PF 8 and MoC 10. Why the F should I bother with anything to do with the meta of this game? I know that if I pulled an E2S1 Acheron and E2S1 Firefly tomorrow and decked them out I’ll probably be in the clear for a whole year. If not longer.
Not my fault that Hoyo made them OP. I just don’t see what these “meta” discussions regarding horizontal investment does anything for anyone. I’m barely missing out on 4.5 pulls PER PATCH with my “Gen 1.5” and I’m pretty sure I’d lose less when I’ve actually gotten them good relics.
Nah it’s better to wait for the next Acheron or DHIL and throw everything I’ve got at them and finally relegate my JL to ice only. All this talk of dual DPS and Gen 2 or whatever simply sounds like whale bait to me
