5 Reasons Why Hyperbloom Is Evil (and 5 reasons it's your savior)

[@valrond]

This is the only real downside of Hyperbloom, it made the abyss harder. The rest are not negative, you can get good teams with little investment, and that wasn't possible before.

[@vladdyru]

@@valrond Quite a big downside though. So far every limited five star has been more than capable of clearing and achieving 36*, however, during the 3.5-3.7 period we’ve basically came this close to some weaker older units being physically unable to achieve it in time, you either had to be carried hard by one of the teams, or play almost perfectly. Some people like to call that a challenge, but that’s actual BS in my view.

dendro would still have fischl aggravate and haitham spread though the sole reason haitham isnt mainly used as a spread carry is because of how much dmg your kuki can pump from giving up a few spreads on your haitham plus dendro really has no xl/xq/yelan/fish/beidou type offield spread dps taht you can put in a haitham team as the last slot since if you use haith solo dendro its kinda ok-ish but its a aggravate team with a dendro driver who wont get alot of buffs you use haith nahida/dmc beidou/fish kuki you both dont have an anemo for vv on your electro+ either fish wont even get alot of a4 procs => no real aggravate dmg as her a4 makes her even relevant with dendro in a dps sense and beidou will have loads of dmg on 250% er so she even gets her burst back so in the end with triple dendro haitham you put your kuki or dmc on deepwood duty and build a crit nahida

Ever since last year i always have one chamber done by hyperbloom because how braindead easy it is.

[@BitterLime90]

Hoyo created hyperbloom for the low spender and casual players, giving these players this hand out doesn't affect their bottom line, because when it comes to players who care about vertical investment(aka where hoyo makes almost all their money) constellations and 5 star weapons hyperbloom falls off into irrelevancy. Hoyo made a great f2p Game, with many tools to enable a good f2p experience, could you imagine hu tao If a xingqui didn't exist? Vaporize wouldn't be an actual recommended team until childe for Xiangling or yelan for Hu tao, yoimiya etc

Hyperbloom is still one of the strongest vertical comps in the game due to alhaitham, yelan and nahida c2.

[@kanoaika]

​@@thewingedone1172 You are right that hyperbloom teams (when the enabler characters are very powerful) can scale well with investment, but hyperbloom (the reaction itself) does not scale as high with investment because it is fundamentally based on level (something you can't increase past 90) and EM. On the other hand talent based damage has more things that are multiplied together so the return on investment for optimizing artifacts, leveling talents, getting stronger weapons, and such is comparatively higher at high levels of investment (e.g. a 10% increase in your attack getting a 5 star weapon will be a 10% increase in damage overall with an attack scaling talent, whereas a 10% increase in em of your trigger when you are already at 1000 em leads to a 5.4% damage increase.) This also compounds with em scaling having much worse ROI for artifact farming after you have triple em mainstat pieces because all of the other stats are typically irrelevant to your damage (in contrast to talent based damage dealers who benefit from at least their main scaling, crit, and normally others like some em or er). Often the things you could do to maximize the enabler's damage can't be done because they would interfere with the reaction, and add that there are very few significant em buffers that you can fit into a well working team without sacrificing the number of reactions (which is the most important factor) and it should be clear why hyerbloom teams in general do not scale as well as talent damage based teams. (And chances are when it does, it is because you have a talent damage team and the hypreblooms are a significant byproduct, but not what that team is trying to optimize (and that's ok because that hyperbloom is a reaction, not a team).

[@berrybaskets6142]

I have one of the strongest single target units yoimiya and hutao and this is true hyperbloom powercreep them with low investment but when I got elegy on yelan and their signature they became better than my hyperbloom team, I think what makes hyperbloom not so bad is because its ceiling is not higher with normal dps at really high investment. Hyperbloom is great for beginners and is for people who are struggling to invest another team for abyss without using a lot of 5 stars.

[@AvacynAngel]

Hyperbloom was a great addition to the game. It revived electro and it allowed more freedom. I’m okay with it because its damage ceiling is pretty much hard capped. If you like a unit, you should hyper invest into it and otherwise you have those safety nets like hyperbloom on which you can rely on. It’s a shame that dendro didn’t really bring anything for cryo or geo. Maybe Hyperbloom is too strong since it overshadows burgeon but hey as Jello mentioned Dehya is getting a second wind with Neuvi teams and some others who knows what the future units could enable.

[@nara-yana]

Hyperbloom and Burgeon did raise the *damage floor,* indeed... but I don't think that it's a bad thing at all, as the *damage ceiling* is still the same and nobody "needs" to go for newer units and synergies _unless_ they want to. Of course that in itself can be seen as "bad" if you are more on the hardcore side of the spectrum (like T_ctone, Mt_shed and the like) but, from a casual's perspective, it is _hella_ good and an unmatched approach on the entire Gacha scene.

[@asoret]

Also being a core you can take any character you like and slap it there, even better than with national and it will work, talking about it I think we had the same problem already with national teams, and more than being something bad or evil its a help for everyone that can't whale so its fine

[@Nowaylarry]

I enjoy that hyperbloom is a three unit core. Being able to slot nearly anyone into the 4th slot is nice for using new characters while still in the process of building them. Case in point it took me nearly a week to fully build Neuvillette but I could still use him just fine in the meantime. Also, I like just throwing in a meme character in the 4th slot in abyss. Clam Qiqi is a classic. Any of the cryo 4*s are fun to slot in as well. It is just nice to be able to get use out of lower tier characters that have been gathering dust. Hyperbloom having to high of a damage floor isn't really an issue. There are only a few viable triggers so not every account would be able to build two hyperbloom teams. You'd still need a second team. As for Raiden, sure her best team at c0 is hyperbloom but sheeting aside, the practical clear times between her hyperbloom, national and hyper teams isn't so large that it really matters. Personally I just have Dori hold Raiden's second artifact set for when I want to swap between those teams. I mostly agree with your pros and cons to the reaction. I just don't think it is really that large of an issue. What teams or units a person builds and uses is up to them at the end of the day.

[@ilari90]

After getting my first good team on field after a year of playing, dendro came out and I started to enjoy a lot more, got few good dendro teams and now building all kinds of stuff as I learned more a lot about how teams work and such. Artifact farming came about at the same time, as I realized which stats are good to have in different types of teams. It's quite a big gap to jump over, but it makes it all the more fun for me now.

[@the_knut]

I def watched the whole video before commenting!

[@zeseku1493]

I like that the game doesn't tell you that this kind of team or reaction exists, it's very in line with the principle of elemental mastery and in particular dendro too, if you are smart you'll figure it out, work smarter not harder, but working hard is also an option and constellations are a shortcut that support the game by spending

[@chrismclean104]

Genshin centers the reactions but leaves it up to players and tutorials to figure out. They should have menus in game that tell you out right how to build characters and stats for each reaction. Which needs Crit, Atk, Def, HP, EM...

[@studiesinflux1304]

[@MelissaThornton]

I started playing right at the end of the Sumeru story and unfortunately got Thoma as one of my first characters. Knowing that I couldn't level him until I got further into the story, I avoided wishing on any of the dendro characters for the same reason. I will forever kick myself for not grabbing them. I'm currently sitting on all wishes while waiting for the Nahida rerun, because I will have the little green cinnamon roll :) In the meantime, I am leveling and gearing the other 3 team members while I wait!

[@Eternity116]

That was me within the Inazuma patches. I started around then, but boy was it frustrating not able to level up my Miko since you also have to unlock Enkanomiya. Thankfully they no longer region lock resources becasue you're behind the story, if you're starting out. Now you can technically walk to Sumeru from the get go, and now with Fontaine with that teleport waypoint after finishing Mondstadt's story, but wow was it a turn-off just trying to go through the story without being peeved at my level 40 miko in comparison to my level 70 characters at the time. XD Good luck on your pulls btw, and happy farming ^^

[@beverlyrussell8034]

Walk to Sumeru and resonate with a statue. Dendro Traveler is worth it. Best version of Traveler! Then you can do hyperbloom.

[@Nowaylarry]

I actually did everything (including the Childe fight) up to Inazuma with a level 20 Kuki on one of my alt accounts. Got lucky with a few 4* EM pieces, Iron sting and Instructors on Barbara (On fielder for hydro app). My level 20 Kuki would be sitting at around 600EM and could do roughly 12k hyperblooms. My point is that you could more or less do the same with a low level Thoma for Burgeon (it'd be a bit harder as he also needs a lot of ER though). As a side note, Dendro Traveler and Collei where the other teammates.

[@eskrest]

True about the spending part. I was literally ready to rip my F2P badge to get Baizhu, but I was able to stop myself.

[@kallebepessoa3305]

I don't think hyperbloom ruined the game balance. In fact it is a blessing to everyone who is totally f2p, or simply unlucky. Having the option to dish out a lot of damage, without worrying yourself with atk/EM/CR/CD/HP like Hu Tao, you only need to stack as much EM as possible, ignoring almost completly the substats. That's huge for everyone who is still a beginner. I began after the introduction of Dendro. Nahida was my second 5 star charater and changed my accound completely. After getting a solid Hyperbloom team, I could have more fun, not troubling myself in getting perfect artifacts, yet, EM pieces are still quite rare, and thats the balance. If it wansn't for hyperbloom, I guess I'd quit the game already. Now I'm playing other comps, my favorite now is Neuvillete Hypercarry, with no electro nor dendro. However, I know that my beloved hyperbloom will be always there if needed.

[@dogo523]

The idea that hoyoverse made hyperbloom for you to spend more money on your mains so they can compete with it can instead just as easily be used to quit the game altogether, if the balancing is shoddy then why bother with the game? Similarly you can fear that hyperbloom itself will be powercrept by even stronger things in the future and that your old main will not receive buffs and get even further powercrept. i doubt MHY would do this to make you spend more, too risky

[@dogo523]

Furthermore i think that characters are getting powercrept even without hyperbloom, with the addition of strong new onfielders like alhaitham/neuvillette, or supports being released that buff different niches like faruzan and kujou sara, some characters dont receive attention or get buffed at all, like melt ganyu who hasnt gotten a better team mate ever since release and who is behind rational, which as stated in the video, is a raiden team and thus got powercrept by dendro

[@TheGlitchyVirus]

Two things to mention, which is probably overlooked by many people: 1. Although Raiden can be more comfortable to play as your hyperbloom option, C0 or C1 Kuki is a perfectly viable choice for a couple reasons. For one, you get to have a hyperbloom unit (which can't really function anywhere else, generally) AND a regular crit Raiden at the same time without requiring your Raiden to be a full EM E-bot. Since I really enjoy playing with Raiden's burst user, I greatly appreciate this. Also, Kuki consolidates the damage/carry role with the healer role, making it more comfortable. The advantages that Raiden has over Kuki is her faster proc interval (which means more damage overall) and her ranged application, but the former can be traded for the sake of convenience, and the latter can depend on the teams you play (such as with Ayato). At the end of the day, it's a choice you can make, but you aren't forced into it, so play what makes you happiest! 2. Instead of full EM E-Bot Raiden, which ignores her burst, you can play crit Raiden with some EM to increase team comp diversity. I've been using the new battle pass spear, which has Crit AND EM, and my crit pieces have some EM sprinkled in there, so in total I have around 200 EM. This opens up aggravate Raiden, which is effective and fun! You can take advantage of Nahida burst with on-field Raiden, for a further boost to your EM. You don't HAVE to build full EM and play a full hyperbloom team, you could play aggravate, quickbloom, or even just have some extra hyperblooms here and there. For example, I've been enjoying Neuvilette, Venti, Nahida, and crit Raiden, where I DO get hyperblooms but it's not my main source of damage. Don't be afraid to play something just because it isn't the absolutely strongest option. Play what you enjoy and what makes you feel good!

[@ixirion]

Maybe Nahida was too strong. She just raised the floor of HB even further

[@maevethefox5912]

I do really like that it lets me take Traveler to the abyss and do well, I wouldn't call myself a Traveler main, but I do like them being usable. I don't like how hard Nahida power creeps all the other Dendro characters because of it. Yes, she's an archon and they should be good, but it's so rare you WANT to use anyone but her, power wise. And given I don't like the chibi models, it's an annoyance.

[@giuba98]

I understand the good side of it, it's fun and easy and accessible to casuals (if they know what they need), but as others said it's probably the reason why abyss got harder. And frankly, I'd be happier if it was possible to clear abyss with the person mains either than with hyperbloom core + the main (also because not every main is good in hyperbloom, and I'd be sad to have to play Eula in hyperbloom instead of a more phisical carry team for example, they should really do something for phisycal lmao).

[@mitrettavrednik]

Hyperbloom was a Benny/Xingqiu/Xiangling tier "mistake." Hyperbloom is also the best thing hoyoverse has ever done because it saved my girl Kuki! In all seriousness, I do get frustrated and bored with hyperbloom sometimes for the reasons you mentioned, and I probably wouldn't play it anymore if I didn't love Kuki so much. But hyperbloom is great for new players and it was undoubtedly the reason I was able to get 36 stars early on in my account's life. Now that I've been playing for over a year I have other teams that can 36 star so I can afford to bench hyperbloom sometimes.

Now my bby pretty girl is gerring the respect she deserves ad its nice to see her away from Itto (who I personally dislike a fuck ton) and Thoma away from the Kamisato siblings (who I also despise).

Well I was using Xiangling qiqi keqing and sucrose first three at level 80 and sucrose at level 70, with trash tier artifacts, it was quite stressful I was having hard time in Inazuma but few days ago I started using dendro mc kuki yelan and zongli only dendro mc at level 90 and others are 70 or below still with trash tier artifacts, I put bunch of random em on kuki and now it work wonders. Now I've again started to enjoy playing it rather than grinding. And here I was looking for making strong team of hu tao, ayaka, etc glad I found out about dendro.

[@brickbirchbeep]

As a Nahida main, I love hyperbloom because I feel it really lets her shine. That being said, I run an ER and EM hybrid Raiden build to support Nahida. I do not go all in for EM with Raiden but max ER then EM as much as I can. This is so she can drive reactions through her E but also still utilize her Q to charge all character's Q's and while still dealing decent damage. Raiden (C0): The Catch + Emblem Severed Fate and Nahida (C1): Signature Weapon + Deepwood

I respectfully disagree that it's not something you could find on your own. You can just read and find burgeon and hyperbloom tbh. This all said I think it's fine I hated melt vaporized meta and would actively choose shatter, electro charged and overload until dendro came out I still kinda mess with them but burgeon is also fun for me.

im pretty sure it took people months when the game released to stop playing physical main dps everything. Physical xiangling and fishl in particular. On their own i dont think more than 0.1% of the playerbase would figure out to play hyperbloom or burgeon or how strong and efficient it is

[@bjornnilsson2941]

The reactions are explained in game, yes. But the average player won't know to stack 1k+ EM on your triggering unit. They probably accidently proc some hyperblooms or burgeons and see them hit for 3-4k with no EM characters and think nothing of it. Nowhere is it explained that bloom reactions are able to hit for 30k per with full EM investment.

@@bjornnilsson2941 I mean trial and error is the fun of gaming tbh. I hate how everything is right there and so I have to avoid guides just to enjoy games nowadays. One could just read the abilities but I get you gamers nowadays are fairly lazy so they wouldn't test stuff on their own. It truly doesn't seem that difficult to just read and test things honestly. I am still slightly disappointed with the state they left physical damage dealers in but I also love the state electro units are in. I feel like they need to just make geo and physical synonymous to some extent. Keep Eula and Ferminet as is but make Geo the physical element and link them to shattering for damage dealing where they can also hyper invest into elemental mastery and I would be a pretty happy camper. Know what i mean? This all said i wonder if we will get pyro characters that scale off of elemental mastery for burning because i really would love some elemental mastery hydro and pyro so I can lean into high yield damage over teams one team electro charged and the other burning but at current no pyro characters really feel like it for me here is hoping Arleccino can be that character or one after her perhaps.

@@glitchvariable5336 If hyperbloom is meant for casual gamers it's certainly not explained well enough, that was my point.

Not because I hate national, I just don't like how every common solution in the game is like "If you're weak, use national" and spam it over over again. Two kings are better than one, it gives people options to pick.

the best change that could be made instead of making hyper-bloom weaker, is making other reactions stronger and more visually representative of their elements

We've been blessed with minimal power creep compared to other gatcha. So even though hyperbloom is power creep. Glass half full. My problem with it is that it hoyo just put bigger damage sponges in the abyss. So it has had a negative effect on previous teams like freeze, mono cryo and mono geo

[@emilyrjl]

My feelings for hb are pretty 50/50. It's obviously pretty decent and I like that newer players can 36* thanks to it, however the second you get into speedrunning or higher investment territory, it falls really short unless you are playing Haitham hb which at this point can be far from his best team. Hb has a high floor but its ceiling is low, there is no way to hyperinvest in hyperbloom which is precisely why I don't like using it, it's worse than my built units.

[@aryn-jaeger]

[@cecilecrozatier7979]

Thank you for the video, very interesting! That also explains why I feel the way I do, as new player I started with a hyperbloom team as soon as I got to Sumeru, a good friend set me up, but now what ever I try to do with other players or team construct, it feels weird and inefficient… That just makes me want to invest more time and energy on other types, but it’s good to know that you actually need to focus, otherwise you may never get to outperform your initial hyperbloom team. Now the question is, what to invest on? There are so many options with just the few characters that I have, that’s Genshin for ya! 😅 Anywho, thanks again for the always informative info!!

[@ptterodactyl5597]

you're very right jello, i did the nahida trial and thought the dendro cores were her specific ability like klee. The game didn't make it clear about the different reactions

[@anotherrandomperson9174]

7:54 I actually do love it 😆 hyperbloom and freeze are my favorite reactions

[@fardareismai4495]

The thing is though, many hypercarries used to have very limited teams before hyperbloom as well (national or sth with Kazuha). Yes, hyperbloom is strong, but before that the game wasn't much more flexible in many cases

[@forceunleasher]

Oh, I don't disagree with you at all. Actually, now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense for Mihoyo to do something like this and what they did with hyperbloom was exceptionally graceful it seems. I, for one, have never thought about it that way and it completely went over my head but now that I heard your argument, the dots started lining up too well.

[@connerjessop8422]

Your conclusion is spot on. Without youtube I would have no idea hyperbloom and burgeon even existed.

[@deonardomendez9426]

The real reason why i hate dendro and hyperbloom. Is its just stupid, like its so brain dead. And that its so flexible, like wayyyy too flexible. It became a team where, u just need, hydro, electro and dendro, last slot is whatever u want. Compared to other reactions, like vape, or melt. Where u can use the units you like and its not just, ohh i press buttons enemy go boom boom. Because of hyperbloom, any future hydro, dendro or electro characters are just gonna be delegated to the team.

[@faerieinwonderland]

I just want to say, I like the new camera angle you started doing!

[@jamiekb9v]

Plot twist: A TC I know made a artifact farming sheet where they found it takes longer to farm a triple EM set with basically just mainstats than it was to farm a "KQM standard" hypercarry set for Hu Tao (which is a solid build but not amazing artifacts). It starts to get even more out of control if you need ER on your triple EM set. If the calcs are correct then hyperbloom teams taking low investment is a bit of a myth depending on someones definition of low invest

[@Zemos_zermos]

I actually farm triple em with lots of er for Thoma Burgeon, I basically ally spent all my condensed resin accumulated for a year on this

[@phoenixlau]

"KQM standard" is quite low though, vs. what most players would consider a "good" build. i.e. nowhere near max potential, which would require lengthy substat upgrade grind. Whereas the selling point of hyperbloom only requiring triple EM mainstat (and no ER or any other substat at all if you use either of the two premier electro triggers Kuki/Raiden) is that you can immediately hit max potential, completely bypassing the upgrade grind. So closer comparison for suboptimal build would be if you took 2pc + 2pc EM set, or even broken set, maybe with 4-star EM mainstats. Surely that is easier to farm than Hu Tao gear.

[@ooochoa]

2 piece 2 piece wanderer/ gilded is good enough tho

[@aciesara5444]

When Sumeru first came out, I only used 2 WT and whatever EMmain stat I had for Kuki, and it worked fine. So, even if triple EM is harder to obtain than KQM standard, I still consider it a lower investment, as you can see the results faster, albeit not optimal. I think this is also inline with Jello's reasoning in why Hyperbloom is not ruining the game part.

[@whisperwalkful]

This is untrue, from my experience farming a triple EM set takes much shorter time than my hu tao which until now is still the "wrong" sands. In the meantime i have six of those triple EM sets already. U really need just either EM goblet or EM circlet, because the last one can be covered off set. Also hyperbloom chars dont need ER, they're just E bots. You only need ER if u veer off script and use a non recommended char.

[@Kamorzy]

I'm sure that was a big inspiration behind it - to dethrone National and give value to more diverse characters. With Fontaine, it seems like they're going for something similar, a new HP fluctuating mechanic to add value to Fontaine characters that are amplified by that as well as old undervalued characters (like healers in general). There are game progression reasons too though. New players also start the game with National as the most accessible units. Many are given for free in events and if all else fails, they're all in the shop. They also aren't region locked at all, everything being very easily accessible in the starter regions. Their reactions are also the most simple and easily understood in the game, simply combining 2 elements for vape. Hyperbloom is more complex, requiring 3 elements in a particular order. Like you said, for a new player, there is nothing that holds their hand in figuring that out. Also, hyperbloom characters/artifacts are often in Inazuma and Sumeru, regions who's materials are region locked until later in the game. It makes sense that hyperbloom should be fundamentally stronger than vape, game progression-wise. And on top of that, long-time players would be discouraged from trying these new builds/characters/artifacts if it would take a ton of investment and effort just for the final result to be on par with their already built National teams. To a long-time player, its not 'National investment' vs 'hyperbloom investment', its 'no investment' vs 'hyperbloom investment'. Hyperbloom needs to be clearly worth building, despite already having very strong, fully built teams.

The only dendro characters I have are traveler, yaoyao and collei. Can I make a neuvillette hyperbloom team? I dont have raiden I have kuki and fishcl

[@marcusbullock2753]

I agree more so on why it ruined most reactions than the positive. I do e joy Hyperbloom but I think it’s mostly due to the characters I just so happen to play. I love Baizu as a comfort unit and I like Raiden and her playstyle she’s quick and easy to use. And a great support with her skill. I like Kazuha and I enjoy Yelan so that’s my core 4 I like to use constantly.

[@MrGoodra17]

Hyperbloom is currently my favourite reaction, but I make so it doesn't do all the damage of the team I play mostly Neuvi/Dehya/Nahida/Yae and Alhaitham/yaoyao/Yelan/Raiden (mostly to charge yelan burst faster and to use her in downtimes, she's c3 btw)

[@ZurilasZone]

ive walked the domain for the dendro/EM set about 240 times and havent seen an elemental mastery chalice or headpiece yet. Its such a trauma for me. One day i was like "sure ill just get one to make a fun hyperbloom team with kuki since i like her so much". but then nothing came, months later i gave up only to pick it back a up some more couple months later for my Kokomi as Nilous driver, but still yet no EM chalice or headpiece, its horrible

[@nylarose2310]

Hyperbloom paves way for comfort playstyle. I wouldn't say it's OP per se but rather Dendro is OP general. I say this a lot and I'd say it again Hyperbloom is good at low investment but it has a low ceiling which is why i prefer Quicken comps than Hyperbloom mainly because of vertical investment.

With hyperbloom I have more team options to use in the Abyss. Unlike before that I always have to rack my brain how to manage my team comps now I have choices with Hyperbloom (Nahida/Xingqui/Yelan/Kuki), Ayaka Freeze (Ayaka/Shenhe/Kazuha/Kokomi), Raiden National (Raiden/Bennett/Xingqui/Xiangling), Hu Tao double hydro (Hu Tao/Yelan/Zhongli) and Neuvillette taser (Neuvillette/Fischl/Kazuha/Zhongli). So yeah, hyperbloom makes it easy for F2P players like me in tackling the Abyss.

[@Aurora_veil1580]

First half done- mostly agree. Completely agree taking ur pinned comment into account. :p I despise that a character who isn't even hydro/ electro/ dendro will still have their best team be hyperbloom outside of like a select and that there is no real counter to the team either. You love a character and you want to make a team dedicated to them being the carry? Good luck haha they'd be better off in hyperbloom! Where you don't even feel like you're playing the character... But you're also right on the second half. It bridges the gap between hardcore and casual and I would prefer new players to have that than to not. People will say genshin is easy but I remember when I first started playing in 2020- it wasn't easy at all to me then. And now there are even more enemies, mechanics, and reactions. It's a lot. I hope as they introduce more to the game though that they still allow old archetypes to continue growing. I hope no one else gets curbstomped by hyv as badly as my favourite characters haha.

[@evotheevolutions]

my main problem with hyperbloom and just dendro in general is how gatekept it feels if you don't have nahida. all dendro teams either best in slot person, or an extremely viable is nahida. but that's a problem with nahida and not hyperbloom.

[@jamin3131]

I was super excited when I first got raiden last year cuz everything was so awesome about her, until I actually started to use her... At such low investment (new player) and no supports built up properly the team just felt meh. And the overloads were just making everything so much harder. The following banner I got an early alhaitham while trying to get a copy of yaoyao and it really did make the game so much more enjoyable. Raiden was benched while I went around adventuring with ease. Almost a full year later I finally brought out raiden again as she was benched Indefinitely as a hyperbloom carry but I'd rather wish I had her for her real purpose. I dont use hyperbloom in the overworld now cuz it's pretty boring and still messy. But bloom definitely helped clear content while I built up the rest of the cast. I'm still working on 36* abyss. Managed to get 33 for the first time and just cleared it.

[@reiverdaemon]

[@leukos22]

My biggest complaint with Hyperbloom/Burgeon teams is something that you covered in the past: getting key 4-star characters is a tremendous pain in the ass and it's getting harder to get them with each new character release. I'm not saying that Lisa Hyperbloom is all that bad but there's a world of a difference between playing Lisa or Dori Hyperbloom vs. Kuki Shinobu's Hyperbloom teams. With Burgeon, it's even worse as there are only two really viable characters: Xiangling and Thoma and unfortunately for Xiangling - she needs an astronomical amount of ER% to burst on cooldown without Bennett to battery her. I'm grateful that characters like Cyno exist that can sort of run a Quickbloom team but in most cases it's much easier to build Nilou's 5-star Superbloom teams than it is to get Thoma, let alone a c4 Thoma for his Energy constellation. I'm grateful that there are many flex spots for the Dendro characters in that archetype with Dendro MC being available for all and Barbara being "good enough" along with the many Hydro off-fielders but the actual trigger portion of the reaction is radically restrictive. It's my hope that we get a proper Pyro Burgeon trigger 5-star character and more options an off-field Electro trigger if just to give new players more options.

[@popcornpotatoo]

My thing with Eula hyperbloom is that it's only good at some point. Maybe before getting a good crit ratio build and 6-6-6 talents? After those threshold, Eula hyperbloom becomes a liability, waste of resin or cost opportunity instead. Primarily because hyperbloom feels smoother to play with dendro or hydro on the flex, or just the three core. Add to it that if a player will be maining Eula and going to farm for crit pieces and talents, they could just take out Eula out of HB and they will now have two teams for abyss. Tried a C5 Eula in hyperbloom setup but it feels awful because squeezing in Eula with the team rotation feels like a DPS loss. Got better results with hypercarry setup. But I gotta agree that HB is Eula's best team for low investment.

[@----x-----]

Head shotted the nail, Hyperbloom is easy and accessible, and efficient but its ceiling isn;t too high, its genshin's answer to casuals who just want to clear It means any other comp is a CHOICE, either seeking a test of skill, a form of expression or a credit card flex And i think that;s pretty cool The only unfortunate side effect I see is that it sets a higher standard for dps to clear and they might balance around that thus raising requirement investment to clear with other comps Its not power creep of the top damage performance, its minimum damage power creep but it's fine as long as all comps remain supported

[@sgb1983sgb]

I dliberately tried to not use hb-team in current abyss12. Managed 12-1 and 12-2, but stuck at 12-3 being 15-20 seconds short. Gave up, switched to HB, boom, 9 stars without significant effort.

[@paulamblard3836]

i am fine with the power of hyperbloom. i think the other reaction should be buff. things like : Overload can now crit (noncrit damage unchanged ; crit chance and crit damage depend of charcter stat, so a build em+crit overload would be good) supraconduct : -36% physical res, -24% cryo and electro res, -12% to the 5 other elemental res ; this res reduction is multiply by 1+em/1000. make that crystalyse is only hydro+geo, and create new interesting reaction for the 3 other...

[@yaliyumegami2033]

I feel the same way about it honestly, in one way its good because it allows me to slot any last character, play them and enjoy the visuals but on the flip side my Eula hypercarry team just can't compete with it anymore even while having the signature because I just miss Raiden, I don't like using fischl, I regret Yae because of how her skill and ultimate works together and my Rosaria aint even c6.

[@marcusbullock2753]

The real reason why Apep hates Nahida.

[@DGJAKSUHLK]

I think miHoYo is going to keep changing the meta throughout the regions. They don't need to change existing characters. They can make new characters that synerise with other characters as well as new mechanics like the HP change which is supported by arifacts. This not only makes new characters viable but gives life to old underused characters. I won't be suprised if after 4 years when new players have skipped Eula reruns, miHoYo introduces an abyss mechanic that buffs physical. Then they can make money without creating a new character. Also making the community figure the game out is a smart move. This increases the value of content creators which makes it more lucrative to actually make videos about the game. This gives them free advertising while the creators get an income. This also keeps the community more active and coordinated. This makes certain people view Genshin as something of monetary value rather than pure entertainment. This basically opens up an option where Genshin is not just a game anymore but a job. This makes people more dependent on it. It stabilizes it foundations. I could imagine that in the far future someone creates a game so complex, so vast, so epic that just streaming it is of high commercial value. The top players are seen as celebrities. Then people could make an entire career from just playing a game. Like a sport or Olympics.

[@VrtielA6300]

For me think; This game is "war". And everyone don't want their old characters to shine again, but only just keep staying weak. As I'm the Electro main. I just can't let those Pyro and Cryo to dethroning Electro again.

@@VrtielA6300 What war? I don't think they will unnecessarily buff an already sufficient element. In Fontaine, hydro didn't get a buff, the buff was for HP change characters.

[@linthuslyth]

I disagree. Instead of dumbing down the combat by introducing an unbalance and easy to play team archetype in hyperbloom. Why doesn't Hoyoverse just... make combat content that is more casual. Maybe something where we're not being timed; would be nice. It would also be a way for casual player to get comfortable and learn the combat system. Yes, casual don't do abyss but I wonder how much of it is because there's a steep investment valley in between overworld and floor 12 (or floor 11 even). They already kinda do it with combat events, I don't know why there's nothing similar that is permanent. New content doesn't need to be hard, it needs to be different. We don't need endgame, we need variety. Anyway, cheers. Good video.
