tbh recently hi3 powercreep hasnt been bad at all unless u wanna play part 1 units but they wouldve been out of the meta by now anyways but like the free a ranks are still good the first batch of part 2 units are also still good and all have their own niche also hi3 did kinda abandone the augment cores idk whhy cuz that was fire but they still make divine keys and were getting a new one next patch which is basically a sig for a character that changes their kit and animations like how hofi went from a fire dps to a support and in the trio team she used to be the main dps but now shes a support for hoo who got her stigmatas buffed

I think the best solution they can use is that instead of just buffing characters they can create a set of additonal talents to upgrade the interactions and damage multpliers that the characters have access to, Punishing Grave Raven does it like that and works wonders old characters are revitalized and can be used again at least to competently and comfortably clear endgame content, while at the same time they keep the newer characters stronger so the wheel of gacha keeps spining. And some characters don't need much to be better, like Silver Wolf who could benefy from having some kind of AOE and a buff to her debuffs or maybe an additional debuff to generate more damage multipliers, others like Selee could be harder to buff because she is too basic, so all they can do is either buff her stats or create some kind of new power for her (which is unlikely), maybe they can give her bleed damage or something to add more damage multipliers to her kit, so she can have more interactions and be buffed in different ways.

I was pretty surprised that Hoyo admitted to their failures in powercreep. Whether these buffs actually matter is debatable though. Honestly every character in 1.0 cycle could use a buff. The only ones that probably don't need them is RM and Huohuo.

Would love it if old units were buffed via extra major traces.

Given how hoyo is greedy, the best I assume is increase stats and change eidolon effects.

There's ALWAYS a catch. No way they'll plain buff the weaker units to match new units. It's just too good to be true.

3:13 DOKKAN MENTIONED!!!!

The FGO way I think could work. They basically choose one of their 3 skills or their ultimate and rework them to be more in line with modern characters. They just buffed a 6 year old unit back into being the top single damage dealer in it's class and a top contender over all

4:08 how? I’m genuinely asking

If what I saw in leaks subreddit the way that they're going to buff the older characters, it is going to be in a very scummy way

Really wish they add more/universal toughness reduction to Himeko's talent😭😭 even as a Himeko simp and main, she still feels like ass against elites or bosses. Also I know this is unrealistic to the point of being ridiculous, but I just wanted to say it since I have her premium superbreak team and it still hurts me everytime I need to use 9 turns to break an elite

Also for 3 Hi3 players out there like myself, we have had dps characters like HoT that have retained top scores for about 4 years and several supports and farmable units that remained best for 2-3 years. Also the game still has divine key system for buffing old characters which basically boils down to roll new weapon which yeah sucks but made bare able by fact that its 50-60 pulls guarantee and no banner has 50/50

i really hope if they do buff the characters incorrectly (just increasing multipliers, making a new relic set) or put the buff behind a paywall that the community will call them out on it and not just accept it. that's one of the things im really afraid of.

People are already finding ways to complain about this

Best case scenario is not only multiplier increase, but modenizing their kits to at least mid 2.X characters standards and fixing their core issues. No point making Seele just hit harder when hp inflation will eventually make her be at the same spot she was before.

its understandable that 4 stars fall off since yk they are borderline free but 5 stars shouldnt fall off so quickly, SPARKLE was good for three patches i believe and then she got sent to the shadow realm by sunday thats not fairr

They'll probably create some new type of Equipment that adds or changes the characters' Talents like Modules in Arknights or Euphorias in Reverse 1999. However, they'll either do it like in Honkai Impact where you have to pull for these Equipment or they'll make it require some extremely limited resource. The biggest problem with direct buffs in Gachas is that they're a Russian roulette, where either the buff can be so good that it revives the character from the dead or so bad that it doesn't change anything and now the character has to pray to get another better buff in the future (Which he probably won't)

I am new to Star Rail and i have been playing this game for Damn Near a month straight, I pray the changes to older units not only helps with fixing powercreep but i hope it also allows peoples favorite characters to shine. Seele is my favorite character by far and it did suck to see her nearly unusable due to powercreep but i have been saving a large chunk of my wishes for her if she gets a Re-run, i was going to wait and pull for her either way before the buffs to older units were announced but now that buffs have been announced i am truly hoping i am able to use my favorite character in high end content. I am someone who never really follows the meta and instead use characters i love, as i said i hope i can wish for Seele and not only enjoy her but hope i wont get judged for pulling for an old unit lol.

In a worse case scenario with trajectory they are going. I wont be surprised that they sell solution by updating the eidolons hoping people would roll banners for eidolons for older characters

why is the audio so low 💀

IMO buffing characters is just delaying the inevitable, like say SW get buffed and now she's back to the meta with some kit reworked, what happens in the following year when she once again fell off the meta (because someone just do what she does but better like Sunday to Bronya or Feixiao to Ratio) and so does all other characters of the current time? Will they have to rebuff SW along with everyone else? If yes what decides who to buff as the list gonna get longer and longer as time goes. Buffing a character is good but tbh its just gonna be a band aid situation to the whole powercreep problem and until they find a better way to sustain the game, buffing a character wont be sustainable way of keeping players playing their favs And kinda tired ppl comparing FGO buffs, in FGO the different between a viable unit and an unusable one is just 1 battery skill and thats about it as the game has not receive any changes in the meta for the last 5 years

Great video! Subscribed!

I'd love Natasha to get a buff. She is a good early healer, but over time has lost a spot in many teams. More healing or damage I'd appreciate for her kit. Heck a cleanse would be nice too.

Nah seasonal buffs are horrible Last thing i need is to have characters be only effective in season

if they only buff the multipliers we're even more cooked than we thought.

With our wallets for sure. 🤣 monthly subscription to some extra damage.

Sorry this is a smaller video, been kinda busy with school and another video, thanks for sticking around :]

noti gang

if you decide to play this game after penacony, you are at a disadvantage.

i remember one part of amorpheus i was eating and went the dialogue on auto minutes come by im done eating and theyre still talking lol

As a newish player, who's been catching up to join the current game. 2.6 Paperfold was the worst piece of content I've ever button-mashed through. I didn't mind the Penacony Yap too much, but 2.6 was basically the prime example of a skip button. I don't think I would have skipped anything before Paperfold but 2.6 was just that bad. I was hoping for more catharsis on the event because I would rather manage the museum or stack boxes than the Rappa event. I mean you set up a music festival and instead of teaming up with your musician friends Serval and her band you give us 4 random ass NPCs who I can't even remember then make them the stars?! And how the fuck is Rappa making any kind of music from watching Peppy bark? Or ignoring that they literally broke the lore by putting the trashcans outside of Penacony, the land of fucking dreams! You mean to tell me all the trashcans can sprout legs and arms in Belabog because of the Rappa event?! It was a funny haha when confided in Penacony because of its setting but you made these fucking things sentient and had them beat boxing in Belabog?! Rappa deserved a better patch to be introduced in cause I actually like her origins... Definition of wasted potential.

This is the time when the complaining pays off, or they saw less sells or predicted that not many would pull for Aglaea? Should I pay someone for them getting E6 bcs I want to have e6 aglaea support

First characters in the row would be Jingliu, Seele and Silverwolf and maaaybe it would be Blade or Dilh? Dilf?? Danfeng

I don't get why they didn't do even cg with teen Boothill for an immersion in this quest. Like this quest is not awful awful but the details made it. And also it's soo cringe, and audience doesn't like to feel embarassed or uncomfortable (tho rappa is intended to be this way and boothill kinda is silly guy too, but why he speaks in specific language italics sometimes to explain the plot???) Like dialogues get REALLY boring, and Reca? Reca was liked by me when I first saw him (by leaks), then I saw hum in the quest and he is more bland?? Like yeah he is crazy often times, but then he is bein used in the quest and in other times he gets used in the quest and it gets stupidly confusing. This doctor tho (main villain of this quest) has such a nice voice like good audiobook prof reader, man it's good. But the event is kinda boring too... Naaah

As a player that has Jingliu and Blade built (With SLC), they ARE completely unusable. I found ONE use case for them in APOC shadow. Main problem with this game is honestly the need for premium teams they’ve been getting at this since Break Teams needing RM and HTB/now fugue , just rolled robin (needed for FUA), I have EVERY harmony character. (And Sunday needed for summoners) And now? Their dropping Tribble who is a pressure roll as you’ll need her for castorice. Now I basically need to either get lucky for Tribble and Castorice (AND LC’s) or roll Algaea and use her with my current available premium team and hey, yeah she’d be insane but I care Jack for her. Honestly, Belebog was peak. Wildfire still sticks with me to this day and thinking of old teams makes me feel old. I’ve been playing since Jingyuans initial banner. I remember doing the graffiti event for the F2P SW light cone These tight banner schedules with desirable units nearly EVERY single patch is grating on my nerves. I SWEAR if castorcie needs Tribble and May whatever the hell his name is I might just quit. Not to mention how it seems like I need 70+ pulls for a 5* and how often I lose this shitty 50/50. HSR has been my main game for more then a year now even more then FGO and I’m really, REALLY hoping they fix it. Regardless I’ll keep playing. For now.

With e1 sunday and e1 robin and her lightcone, she's already showing a concerning output outside of her sustainless teams thanks for the showcase tho, ill be bulk saving castorice now

so.. we went from not liking the state of the game, being worried about the trend of powercreep, not being excited for Aglaea since the next DPS will powercreep her anyays to just pulling E1 Robin and the new shiny DPS anyways all in the span of less than 2 weeks? Happy for your pulls tho glad to see someone find some luck

Tbh u really don’t need a lot of crit damage if u have her light cone robin and Sunday she should be over 300 percent crit damage in battle. Crit rate and speed really are way better substats to go for

So instead of making lore presented in a more appealing way they will just make it optional; instead of making puzzles unique and engaging they just dumb down what they have even more. Great "improvements" - for story skippers, that is. Buffs to old characters are welcome, but we have yet to see how significant they'll end up being. Might aswell be enough to put oldies in the spotlight for half a year until they fade into obscurity yet again; this won't mean shit unless devs also address the core of the issue and significantly slow down the powercreep itself, which they didn't even mention.

That lightcone gives so much speed lol. Mine is only at 134 at the moment with similar crit stats but I got the e1 so I guess it all evens out

I think u have 161 spd algae since u have sig and the relic gives 6% spd.

Now get Boothill. - D1 Boothill Simp who got him early, and ten pull after got E1, and S1 in a single.

I got her at e0s0 and I honestly think she is one of the better balanced newer characters in the game and I don't really want to get her E1 I feel like it's kind of scummy you give her a blatant weakness and then sell it as an eidolon but hey monster hunter wilds beta while I wait for blade rerun to finish up his eidolons slap him on as a support unit say I completed the game and then uninstall it. And you all fucking know, the second I uninstall the game they will buff Blade. I can already see it and I will be too stubborn to redownload it. lol.
