All Genshin 4-Star Swords vs Sanhua (Asura Art): Who is the Best? Gameplay Comparison

[@gameplay_shorts]

Dear Hoyo, where is the 5-star Pyro character "Sword User"? I hope you haven't forgotten, right?

[@roslanhaikal7242]

"you haven't forgotten, right?" Me after seeing 4 years has passed : yes

[@TrexHydroidz1248]

[@7Teoem]

Honestly, Genshin is over 4 years old but up to now their 4star characters have no difference in gameplay compared to the old characters, the only thing that is a bit more outstanding is the costumes, that's all. while Wuwa, we can clearly see the level of detail and diversity in the gameplay combo of the 2 newest 4star characters, Lumi and Youhu compared to the old 4star characters, hell yeah... the 7 months old game.

I mean rarity is never a big thing in other games...only in genshin started because of how cheap hoyo is treating the players in terms of from events to free... (like come on, 70 primo during liben event everyday will only give 3 wishes but players treat it as god blessing already..while some game events, even the minor ones can give full 10 already either normal or limited banner)

[@av3_ren]

I think the reason why the basic attacks in Genshin aren’t as good as Wuwa’s is because many of the characters don’t even use it. Genshin’s main combat is based off of using elements from their skills and bursts. Many of these characters are designed to either buff, heal or do off-field damage, meaning that they’ll just get switched off. However in Wuwa, each character uses their basic attacks to built up forte and concerto energy, meaning that each character on the team uses basic attack no matter what role they play

[@fletarious]

@@av3_ren yeah who cares good animation when you can just use the more dmg chara to clear stages and challange...

And that's probably what the OP meant by "Wuwa makes it important". In Wuwa, Normal and Charged attacks are important part of combat for most, if not all characters. That includes supports.

[@FLASHY_WOLF]

As a level 49 player in Genshin I've literally nothing else to do in the game except exploration or do some world quest without any voice acting and exploration isn't even fun anymore, it's too slow and neither do I have the time to explore without any leads on where the chests are. So naturally Genshin isn't fun for me anymore, so I had to delete it cause I don't have the time to login in 3 different gacha games in a day(Genshin, Wuwa, pgr). Genshin could just upgrade it's gameplay while not limiting some movement abilities to certain limited 5 star characters, change it's core gameplay with upcoming characters and I don't mean change which is restricted in a certain region and it's characters. I've played Genshin for 1 and a half year now while continuously logging in and I know how difficult it is to get a single 5 star character, I literally had to save primogems for a character 2-3 patches before they were released to have a chance of getting them and don't get me started on the weapon banner, that thing is a total scam. All these aspects made me quit Genshin but I had fun times playing it, at the end of the day it's just a game, just play what you love and no hate to any community.

[@germanalmendarez4302]

I am playing genshin like around 4 months, only have 2 5* weapons. Both of them are useless to any of the characters I use the most. Started playing wuwa like 1 month and half and I have 3 5* weapons that I got for my main team (Yangyang, Sanhua and Baizhi). And that is only playing around 1 hour per day. The more I understand wuwa and its system, I am shifting more time to wuwa and less time to genshin.

[@imcat1236]

In Genshin, if you want map 100%, you have to spend hours on KZbin and running slowly for hours. But Wuwa, you can 100% just by using the equipment in the game and it doesn't take long. This is a game that values ​​your time.

@@imcat1236 Tbh I didn't even wanted to do any exploration just to get 5-10 primogems from the chests after completing so many puzzles and running like a maniac throughout the map. But I've completed exploring Blackshores, majority of Jhinzou and Mt. Firmament. I never even realised before the release of Wuwa that an open world gacha game can also be so engaging cause before I just played Gi and there were no other good open world alternatives available at that time. It's obvious that they just desperately wants to increase the play time of their games while kuro just wants you to have a good experience. Aether gazer, pgr also were some of the games with this generous nature but unfortunately they were not open world and they had terrible marketing and they were not even available in so many regions

I can see many of Genshin characters have cool/interesting looking normal & charged attack animations. I personally like Kinich's animations cause it's funny It's too bad they are mostly unused unless it's part of their kit like Al-Haitham & Catalyst users cause they dont do physical dmg

For me, sanhua skill is very simple, The thing is the ice is too sharp and pretty looking, that a plus And her animation ,oh dang that a 12/10

[@donnycorn3086]

Imma be honest, Lynette looks pretty good. However, I'd like to share some ideas: - The attack impact of the 4th hit could be delayed to emphasize the impact of the hit, as well as the elegance of the movement. - Slowing the retracting animation for Lynette could also help with not making it too snappy, or if it's intentionally snappy, give it more speed on swinging the sword back to the default stance. - The default stance, IDK much bout fencing or similar sword fight, but I'd expect her to hang up on her fighting stance for a bit longer, not just standing in one certain pose at all time. From what I can see, Lynette's a pretty proficient swordswoman with a lot of elegance to her move, so having her way of her sword to "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" would make more sense, but it looks a bit too rough on the edges. I wonder if Genshin can still update their models and animation for their characters tho, cuz I believe they have a lot of potential to give.

[@Sky_Cotl-Musicyoucanplay]

I've been putting in similar suggestions about updating their character/NPC models (especially the hair quality of a certain character) in their surveys since 2021, they still haven't improved any.

[@vyamayuri]

Wow didn't realize Kirara's is that smooth

[@a4arick106]

i hate how Hoyo treats 4-star in Genshin. They said they don't want to make an op 4-star like Xinqiu and Bennet because they felt like it was a mistake to make them future-proof, which is illogical itself and pretty much makes them lazy on creating actual useful upcoming 4-stars. Like seriously, even in 5.2, the og 4-stars (Xiangling, Bennet, Xingqiu, Barbara) is literally always on-meta for 4-stars and people were praising it and considers it as a way for Genshin to counter "powercreeping" whereas in reality, the reason why those 4-stars is still useful because the newer 4-stars are so ass to build. The closest being would be Kuki Shinobu, because she is quite useful for Dendro dps, but that's because if you don't have Raiden or Yae Miko to make up for your team. Literally all of the newer 4-stars in Genshin felt nothing more than a roster dump rather than being useful, You don't have any reason to build Candace unless if you don't have Yelan, but you might as well build Xingqiu instead. People were praising for Ororon because he is useful for Natlan characters, but in reality Natlan itself needs characters from that region including it's artifact sets (region locking went crazy 💀) and if you already have a well built Venti or Sucrose, you might as well ignore the Natlan-Only gimmick and brute force using other characters. I won't say that WW's all 4-stars would be future-proof, but every single 4-stars definitely have synergy to each of the rosters, even the "useless" Taoqi is actually cracked AF when built as main-dps, and with how the dupes work in the game, she can even be as equal buffer as Sanhua, Yangyang, and any other 4-stars plus a shielder as her bonus kit. The new 4-stars Youhu could make Yinlin and Zhezhi a literal main dps because of how it buffs coord attack, or even as another addition of healer-buffer for your team. And Lumi is now considered one of the strongest Liberation DPS in the game and a good alternatives to Taoqi for Reso Skill buffer. i might as well want Hoyo to just pump out 5 stars only like Snowbreak and Guardian Tales did rather than releasing useless 4-stars every now and then.

​@amitabha7062 It's not just being flashy, ngl. We can see who put more effort, from the differing colors of slashes to make each character feel unique and movesets, even with simple 4 star characters like Sanhua. Like, she's not that important of a character and I don't think a lot of people use her, but the devs still took their time to make her different and stand out on her own from the other 4 star characters. If that's not effort, then I don't know what is. I like how realistic Genshin's animation is, but let's not lie to ourselves and say that it looks better objectively especially since some of the basic attacks are just copy+paste from each character to another with minimal differences, and as others pointed out, no improvements whatsoever. Still same old thing. Subjectively though, your opinion is perfectly fine 👍

[@amitabha7062]

@@SEUON-yx5hr actually it has lore in it. Most characters from inazuma use similar style bc that style was created by their archon same with knights of favonius. When other characters that are by lore self taught use completely different and unique moves. I have seen people saying "4 years of milking" but like the engine genshin is developed on hasn't changed. Unreal engine gives more "real" graphics that allows for better lighting and more details but this doesn't mean that genshin devs dont put effort into characters. Im wuwa you fly up down and shi but in genshin everything depends of timings so making animations with that idea would just interfere with gameplay. Theres a strict distinction on who is ranged who is melee who flies and who doesn't

[@SEUON-yx5hr]

@amitabha7062 Similar style is fine, it makes sense for the lore in some places but visual wise it still doesn't excuse the boring presentation of seeing the same swing over and over again without much change. Also, from Mondstadt to Fontaine the basic attacks are still similar? I can see the reason why if in certain regions or groups their attacking styles and patterns are similar, but all of them? Lore doesn't automatically make it 'look' better, since we are talking about visuals here. Plus, you brought up the engine, but PGR (previous game of Kuro) is also made from Unity and yet the characters are still varied in their attacking styles with crazy ults starting from 2nd gen characters. You can argue that one is open world and the other isn't, and I acknowledge that maybe that DOES play a part in developing characters, but the thing is the 5 stars in Genshin are all obviously interesting to sell well (despite some still having similar attack patterns), but the 4 stars don't get the same love and effort unlike in WuWa. Hell, even random NPCs in WuWa get their badass moments even though we are unlikely to see them again. As for the timing thing, now that one makes sense, but it still doesn't take away the fact that they can do it for their 5 stars but only do the bare minimum for 4 stars, which is why I mention the effort. I like both games, but there's not even a competition here, visual wise. Anyway, again, just clarifying, there's nothing wrong with your opinion, it's all coolio, I already said my piece so ✌️
