[@TamerChris]

After what Dendro brings to the meta with Sumeru, I guess the Ousia mechanic is just a way to create new desirable characters to get in the new region since Hydro is already available from the start. Yeah, they might introduce new mechanics in Natlan and Sneznahya too no doubt. Can't wait till they introduce a counter to sheer cold in Sneznahya.😅

[@atriyakoller136]

The counter should really be called shuba (the Russian word for "fur coat", pronounced kinda like SHOE-bah) and I wish it would render a fur coat on everyone in cold areas, but alas... Not likely to happen

[@daphneschoenmaker8038]

As you already see in this video, Lynette is only useful for 1 niche mechanic in the game for only a few specific enemies and she's easily replaced if there was no new mechanic at all. I have the feeling that all these characters are going to be relevant for 1 year max because abbyss is pushing you to get these characters only just for the mechanic to work. This meta feels really forced and only relevent for a short time, not something I want to invest my summons on

@@daphneschoenmaker8038 well, kazu is kinda op. There are a few scenarios where i can see lynette working just as good or maybe even better than sucrose and since abyss has two sides i can see her having a use-case. Namely cryo teams or mono elemental teams who don't benefit from the EM sucrose gives, fighting against bosses where you don't need grouping. Since Lynette provides atk% (a bit less than ttds but constantly) and has more personal damage. Also her dash is good against more spaced enemies (i know, barely, but every second counts). and her infusion priority theoretically is a bit better for cryo teams. I feel like people are underestimating her a bit. The thing is that kazuha and sucrose are both top tier characters and she just fills a similar role, so it's hard to compete. But she really doesn't fall THAT far behind.

[@GentleIceZ]

I remember playing genshin in 1.1 and having to switch between anemo and geo traveler because I hadn't rolled sucrose to hit anemo monuments and didn't have a geo character to place constructs on pressure plates. Any free anemo character is a massive bonus to new players IMHO Edit: A few people said "everyone gets noelle" and most in the comments have realized why that doesn't work, but I'll list the reasons here to avoid confusion. 1) She has no construct mechanic, so she can't hold down pressure plates and 2) even for the geo monuments her skill's cooldown is so long it's either incredibly annoying or actually impossible since some of them are timed. For those ones you'd have to get her burst to do it, and at low AR with basically no artifact investment is a pain for any character and getting burst back for noelle specifically at those low levels is a NIGHTMARE. That said getting Lynette at AR25 feels pretty late which sucks, but at least there's a guarantee now for an eventual anemo character if nothing else

Lynette is actually super convenient for new players doing exploration.

@@alessioskomneos655 I think the better example is 'wooden shield' which can be removed with Pyro through burning reaction, but Arkhe mechanism is region locked instead of well established element system which is problematic in many ways: first it could be a means to force players to pull for very specifically Fontaine characters even though they may not be unique or better than other regions, second it restricted team comp and choice of characters because adding new artificially-counter mechanism on top of reaction based system is always a bad thing, third ASIMOM doesn't actually make your characters 'weaker' against it even if you don't have Dendro and Electro on your team because it could be destroyed before invisible phase while Arkhe mechanism add 'buffs' on enemies from starts, fourth if it's true that Arkhe mechanism is not permanent and exclusive to Fontaine only then it's purely FOMO products.

I gotta say it's... A bit weird I guess, that Hoyo is trying to add in a whole other mechanic to make some characters useful, or mandatory for enemies rather than just... Making them a bit more challenging or functioning within the set possibilities? Like do I really need to maybe do an abyss floor with an "ousia team" just to counter the one mechanic? Dendro specific mechanics I can understand more since they actually bring something to the table: an entire element to build around. Ousia just seems like a needless forced mechanic to battles. Seems really lazy rather than tackling the main problem. Like outside of exploring, Lynette doesn't seem to have a lot of uses which others can't do, or provide more. Am I crazy?

[@soulannihilator3185]

It's nothing new for Hoyo. Honkai Impact 3rd introduces new boss mechanics every version update or 2 and a new valk to counter that said mechanic. I abhor this game direction to be honest and I do hope this will not be the case with Genshin from this point on.

[@VincentLloydM]

@@soulannihilator3185 Yeah I'm not a fan of it. Each nation will potentially have some gimmick with a new thing, instead of building or fleshing out previous mechanics. It's nothing skill related, it's just a "what fits" kind of thing and makes team building more strict with characters you probably don't wanna use.

[@G0dlyMC]

The "counter a specific type of enemy" is probably bound to happen, since at this point, everyone has powerful characters built and can already clear every content with the rotation of 8 characters or something. Therefore incentive to pull for new characters would dwindle from a meta perspective, eg. why would i pull for Lyney when I already have a very well built Hutao. Therefore new characters will either be powercreeps, or fill a more niche role, ie. countering an enemy mechanic, providing a specific type of utility, etc The direction sucks, but that's kinda how it goes with gachas if they want you to keep pulling.

[@ViralwingX]

It's better than power creeping every old unit every couple of patches. Honestly think about it. Venti used to be the CC God but they added heavy enemies to nerf that level of power. But then we have Kazuha on of the most broken units to exist in the games life span he pretty much power creeped Venti. Imagine if every time a new Anemo Character was released they were better than Kazuha? Pulling for him would have felt like a waste. Adding new mechanics to the game that only a certain characters can use changes how we look at characters going forward.

Not much talk about her taunt, huh? I'd say its something that makes her unique. It's the longest lasting taunt in the game which is also indestructible unlike some others. Kazuha or Sucrose cannot crowd control Ruin Guards or other heavy enemies. She can! While it's not tight grouping to abuse AoE, it still takes pressure off the player. Very nice if you're playing Lyney or other CA archers against heavy enemies. Thanks to its duration it feels a lot more functional than other taunts, too. So I'd say her niche is not only the Ousia damage, but also the best taunt in the game. And being a genuine catgirl. Best niche. :) Also, really would like to see a C6 Lynette in action. :>

I'm going to be honest ever since this ousia/other one damage thing was announced i got really worried. Obviously part of a game devs job is to create a problem and then sell you the solution but there needs to be some degree of separation between the two so that it's not so ham-handed. When they do things like this where I character has no advantage over another except for this single mechanic it means they can make all Fontaine characters less powerful in exchange for giving them this mechanic, And furthermore, we have no confirmation of how this mechanic might be applied in areas outside of Fontaine or if it will at all and if it isn't then that means lots of Fontaine characters will be for Fontaine only meaning they are trying to limit us using characters in every nation and rather getting specific characters for a specific nations enemies which is just super super greedy and they were already greedy enough

Gonna be honest...the underwater 'bosses' /unique enemies felt harder than most of the world bosses we've been getting for a while now (including Copella in this update....didn't do the male version yet as I was after mats for Lynette) but that was mainly due to the fact underwater combat is....kinda meh and I didn't realize some mechanics of holding down the skill for the shield power (if you get hit while holding it it powers up the attack....was doing about 2K on a crab unique enemy and the HP bar was going down by like 1% per hit and was wondering how the hell do you beat this frigging thing/was there some way to upgrade damage for underwater attacks and then i go the tutorial on the shield ability you get from crabs and it more or less told me holding R2 (i use controller) increases the damage and boy it does it by quite a bit...goes from like 2.4K damage to 28K damage instead lol. The Manta Ray ability is the most damaging though even without holding it down and of coruse is mainly the one you want to fight manta ray unique enemies with and the sonar attack from the seals is of course useful on the seal unique enemies (when I say Unique enemies I mean enemies of that type but are stronger than the average mob of their type). I will give Hoyoverse credit for 1 thing though: underwater movement feels good at least...in fact I'd say it's probably the best underwater movement I've played to date and it feels much much faster than when you're walking around on land (even when not dash swimming or using currents)...combat's meh like I said, workable at least and has nothing unique to it as all characters fight the same way underwater (should've done something to change up how characters of different weapon types fought underwater at least) but at least it doesn't feel slow like I thought it'd be from watching the livestream a couple weeks ago (unless they sped up movement at the last moment).

I stumbled across this thing thinking it was just some overworld mob, and it took ages to kill. Not a huge challenge but just long. Seems like a decent damage test target.

[@allentayoto7387]

So... while pulling for Lynette cons and hoping for a Yelan, I lost my 50/50 to Keqing. It was my first time using Keqing but I've seen a lot of guides about her already. I know Kirara was really great in a Keqing team due to Keqing wanting teammates with fast rotations, but I didn't expect how well Lynette would fit Keqing's team too. She actually fits perfectly on a Kazuha team. Also, stocking team is pretty good. Just slap Keqing, Mona, Lynette, and Fischl together. I definitely recommend for other stockings enjoyer like me 🤣

[@listof3662]

theyre probably just going to add enemies that are immune to damage until hit by ousha damage as a way to incentivice getting more characters

[@sahilgoel4777]

I am f2p and i was saving pg like for 2 months. With around 20k primo i pulled for yelan and lost 50-50 to keqing. Then after next pity i got yelan and lucky me also got c6 Lynette.❤

[@kenshi4296]

I use her with liney kazuha and c6 bennet, my linette is c1, This way i have grouping from kazuha, a extra taunt from her after everyone is grouped by kazuha so liney can charge attack to his heart's content and then i have c6 bennet. I used to have xiangling in linette's slot, But with the new fontain mechanic her E is verry usefull (also sac. sword IMO is better then fav since you can proc the ousia damage twice so if there's multiple enemies you can disable more then when you use fav) and she can wear a different artifact set. becayse kazuha is on VV.. Could be anything TBH

[@nathanpapp432]

Alternative Xiao support? 36% attack buff with A1 and Noblesse for just using her burst. Not nearly as clunky as Faruzan, and a better battery.

I have a request for a video, could you please consider making a *ganyu vs tighnari vs lyney* video to find put which is the best charge shot character?

[@SouperNOova]

I got Lynette C6, I really would appreciate a showcase and buil of her in a hypercarry team!

[@tyoume3838]

It would have made much more sense imo to make overload or shatter disable the robots, so players would have had an incentive to use those otherwise undesirable reactions. They could have still sold new characters by making their kits around those reactions like Nilou for bloom.

[@Boomdizzle99]

New mechanics attract players. If they didnt have this new mechanic, suddenly the new hydro characters arent any different than the OG hydro. Suddenly the region has no new gameplay...it wouldve been another monstadt which is a boring af town that requires next to nothing.

[@weeblordgaming6062]

I use overload, it does good dmg

[@LuckyOddball]

To this day... The sacrificial sword still evades me..

[@CTZS]

Ousia damage counters hopefully wont be a thing in Abyss moving forward. Sure, its nice to have easy bosses that are easily winnable with the mechanic, but its gonna be a huge pain if you bring one character specifically to counter one mechanic in Abyss 12's 6 floors, because if the character has little to no synergy with the team, that means the remaining 3 characters are gonna be needing a higher artifact threshold to perform.

[@lenaotaku5905]

Aka just wait for 1 ousia character and 1 pneuma character athat can be easily sloted in ur current teams, lvl them up just for the shield breaking mechanic.

[@ItsShirosan]

Finally. Been waiting iwtl to release lynette’s guide

[@itsj0hnnypr]

Thanks for showing those 2 achivement my guy

[@HeshO-yi3hh]

I dont like that Hoyoverse is going for the "you have these shiny new character that counters a mechanic but otherwise is pretty much a downgrade" is basically makes us pull for new units just for those mechanics

[@mehedi1178]

Only 2 types mechanic and travellers and lynette is free.

[@Toqrainbow]

​@@mehedi1178and you'd like to drop your Kazuha or Sucrose from your team for Lynette because of this lazy, garbage mechanic? It's a complete joke!

[@Axterix13]

The thing with this is that you can't compare the new four stars to the OG four stars. From Ganyu on, new design standards are pretty much in place. So the question is more how these newest ones compare to those four newer four stars. The OG OP ones are busted in various ways, and newer four stars will not be comparable to them. That said, I'm not a fan of introducing frustrating mechanics to force us into a solution regardless of power level.

[@elysiaherscherrofhuman2508]

For NOW the characters are downgrades, but when the new 5 stars arrive, it’s going to bring a lot of nuance to team building.

[@lalilola3770]

@@mehedi1178 Hydro Traveller is a complete joke even with his c6 that we won't get in a very long time, Lynette is a direct downgrade in everything to Sucrose and Kazuha. Why even play these characters if not for pneuma/ousia mechanic?

[@andresramirez3640]

i was kinda right, as a non abyss attempter, so far I see no reason on expending resources on Fontaine 4* … they put the pneuma and ousia orbs so we can do the puzzles and amber lvl 1 takes care of the ice shield with 2 shots so yeah … hoyo aint stupid and they won’t force us 100% to use new characters but they sure made it annoying to explore w/o ‘em. So far it’s been okish. let’s see how it turns out

[@angeloireland576]

Lyney's charge attack does do Pneuma dmg as well so it is not just Lynette's skill Edit: lyney is light and Lynette is dark EDIT 2: Hydro traveler also has the pneuma dmg added into the end half of there skill aswell though I beleave it is light so Lynette would be the only dark right now

[@thomas_the_cat]

the pneuma/ousia mechanic is clearly a ploy to force players (specifically new players who still knows very little) to pull for new characters 😅

[@naotonhan5253]

New players are busy with Mondstadt and Liyue, by the time they travel to Fontaine, they're no longer new 😂 and you don't need Fontaine character to solve puzzles in Fontaine, they're just a bit more convenient

Ousia Damage Mechanic translated to English: "We ran out ideas for ways to differentiate characters."

[@Souldapop]

Please don't let your takeaway from this video be that you have to use Fontaine characters to deal with the Arkhe mechanics. That's just not true. Also, Lynete's scalings are actually pretty damn good, but he was running her on sac. Her skill is single target, single hit. It can't proc it reliably, and it's low base attack. Also notice how he had bennet and faruzan in the regisvine showcase, but chose not to include that in the video despite the fact that, in any other showcase, he'd show damage while unbuffed and buffed. The fact he had them in the team pretty much confirms he did test it and chose not to include it. All that said, she doesn't even need high scalings. She maintains vv uptime. That makes her good - full stop.

[@XEROXAYUKI]

As the video showed she does insane amount of damage in the end with bennet + mona. But if you look at other anemo characters like Xiao and Wanderer, they do just as good or even better damage solo with no buff. Ik they are 5* characters. But what im saying is that you need 3 other well built characters to deal "good" damage with Lynette while you only just need to build one character for xiao and wanderer. Im just saying. Dont get mislead by a video.

[@kaelferreira4964]

I feel like she would be a great addition to the game if her burst snappshots, she would be good on the 3 anome core with Faruzan + Anemo DPS + Lynette, but not snapshoting bennet is a big down on that team... well, guess she really is just a ousia bot after all

[@pixelpuppy]

Ousia/Pneuma is typical Hoyo creating a problem and selling you the solution. Honestly underhanded and disgusting.

[@oldkingcoal4376]

Agreed. It feels like such an unnecessary mechanic, especially if they use that in Spiral Abyss.

[@jthompson7024]

I wouldn't draw too many conclusions of the future 4 stars from her. At the beginning of 3.0 we got a free Collei who is arguably the worst Dendro character and we later got Yao Yao who is basically on par with 5 star healer/supports

ok wait a min.. zhongli c6 can now be highly valuable for Fontaine characters if! all or most of them gonna end up losing hp in exchange for dealing dmg, because you will be free of having a healer always in your fontainian teams and you will have the best shield in the game after all healing you too! well it's a c6 situation so it's out of league for the majority of players such as f2p and even low spenders to begin with, but the fact that his c6 is actually working out better now than expected before is surprising..

[@baconbankai]

I really hope the ousia thing is a minor boon to gameplay as someone who just recently started the game and has other characters I want to build, I don't want to build an entire character I may have no interest in playing just because of this 1 mechanic.
