The thing about this showcase is that for Raiden and Yelan IWTL made the most of their passives, but with Ayato, he didn’t actually take advantage of the Haran’s passive. It really cut his damage a lot

Yeah I noticed that too

[@aci.o6490]

In some sitations it would have helped a lot, in other's the screen time of the other characters might have lead to a similar result. Noticeably for the Magu Kenki it would have barely been any different. But especially with he shield up Regisvine it would have helped him a lot, tho I doubt he would have beaten Raiden's time. For the shield down thing he might have shaved of a tiny bit. For the Vishap it's hard to say. With a higher damage potential and the passive he might have one cycled it for a similar time as Raiden's tho.

[@hexgleam]

I noticed that too, AND in cases like the Maguu Kenki where teammates were used (c2+ Klee with, presumably, TToDS was used with Raiden) they weren't used for Ayato as well, instead Zhongli was used to activate the weapon's passive. Without Klee's def shred, and Thrilling Tales, being present for the support like with Raiden. I'm sure Yelan still comes ahead of Ayato as her C6 seems absolutely broken for these showcases, but it could have been a bit closer IMO

Honestly i think Yelan is Yoimiya done right. Their playstiles are of course different, the similarities comes from how many tools they are given. Yoimiya uses only her E and Basic Attacks even tho she has a unique charge shot and burst, Yelan's kit was designed to let her actually use all of it, she can use her special charge shot, her burst and skill.

[@aci.o6490]

Yess, I thought that too. AoE vise Yelan is much stronger tho (generally possibly as well) and Yelan is not punished for dodging and moving around which makes her playstyle a lot faster and dynamic in feel.

Kind of. She doesn't have as many options for buffers. Basically she is balanced around the fact that things like bennett, sara, tenacity, ttds etc. do not apply to her at all. Meanwhile Ayato is defo a more full team oriented character. And Raiden even more so with her resolve mechanic and how she batteries and buffs the whole team. It makes sense that they would not perform as well here. And that would also be the case with ayaka when she would solo vs use her with shenhe.

Ayato is more versatile, he is not the best option in vape or freeze but he js very versatile fitting in all kinds of team. they all have their own strength but i would say childe is the best one, ayato and kokomi are quite close tho. yelan is better than all three

The real disgusting part of Yelan is that you can just play her with Raiden and depending on which element is stronger against that oponent you can choose to backload either Yelan's rotation with her dmg buff or Raiden's burst.

​@@Not_obligated2care Honestly, players who follow CC like Tectone etc will indeed listen to them. They'll be easily influenced and then whine after skipping or getting a said character. Really ridiculous imo. With Kazuha, I think ppl wasn't really sure on his viability? Maybe they feel like having Sucrose, you don't really need him. Or also could be it's before Ayaka. But for Kazuha, his role in team comps at least imo is much more bigger than Yelan. At least in my case, I did try to go for him but Mona trolled me. Then I decided that I'd rather use that guaranteed for Ayaka as I don't have a cryo dps and I have Venti lol. Now he can't dodge me anymore cos I do have a guarantee waiting for him.

bro as an ayato main myself, he just simply don't have the tools to compete with these monsters, the fact is that ayato's talents don't offer anything meaningful to him, while both yelan and raiden have a huge benefit coming from their passive talents, in other words the balancing is terrible in genshin especially counting the fact that ayato is the only "main dps" between the 3, mihoyo hates male characters look th epoor xiao man

[@emotionalavocado2336]

For c6 xiao vs c6 yelan: note in a more aoe perspective like ruin graders together or maybe the samurai kairagi together, xiao would close the gap. In the showcase is basically a c0 xiao with whale supports .But it is solo yelan vs a full team xiao so it still shows yelan strength. Well until xiao gets a support

[@Crono992]

But then you’d have to consider a full team for Yelan ie Kazuha, Bennet (for infusing Kazuha burst) and Mona. If Yelan doesn’t wipe the mob with one vaped E, the Breakthrough barbs will clean up.

[@pfortunato78]

Yelan will be looked at similar to Raiden and Kazuha (though not as much of a gradient from the community, as more people saw Yelan's potential earlier than Raidens). She will be looked at as a character people should have wished for because she can completely change your account due to how kit works and how flexible she is.

[@optimistic.pessimist]

Not really sure what you mean considering Raiden and Yelan’s banners were the most whaled on in the entire game. Really the only one who applies here is Kazuha. Yes Raiden was undervalued at release but everyone pulled for her anyway, I mean she was the Electro archon

[@CozyRogers]

Only if you had $$$ to drop on constellations and/or weapon. At c0 she seems to be pretty much equal to Xingqiu, and lacking his defensive utility... which is pretty much exactly what everyone expected, lol

[@pfortunato78]

@@CozyRogers I mean, not everyone has C6 XQ, and in many respects it takes just as much to get C6 XQ as it does to get C0 Yelan and her weapon. Her dmg is pretty nutty with her weapon. Often seeing 12-14,000 per burst arrow. I haven't tested XQ with Mistsplitter, but I'm pretty sure he does not reach those numbers per rainsword. Also, more than half the fun with her is pairing her with XQ.

[@CozyRogers]

@@pfortunato78 Nah, we've gotten 2-3 XQ's from events, and you can buy him in the shop for cheap as well. Weapon banners, on the other hand, are the bane of all low-spending players; they can set your account back several months if you aren't lucky. That's a huge risk to take for Yelan's weapon. Well... high-spenders were already bored because they can demolish everything in the game with ease. Now Yelan C6 seems to blow all other C6 characters out of the water. Spending money really will completely ruin your game experience forever at this rate -- it's like activating cheats that you can't de-activate.

[@MacA60230]

Yeah I also have C6 R5 3xcrown Yelan and she is just not balanced. No recent character is at C6R5 ofc but for Yelan it's especially true. - Insane single target damage - Insane AOE damage (her C6 barbs have a big AOE explosion) - All that damage is guaranteed, can't be dodged (think about it, all the other crazy burst like Ayaka's or Eula's can be dodged and/or require setup. Yelan it's all auto targeted) - High energy production, good burst cost (only 70) - Can do all of that from range - Stupidly tanky because of all that HP - Fastest character for overworld exploration - High synergy with Xingqiu and Hu Tao, very good units, and even lesser used ones like Mona - While not being dependent on them or anyone really, she isn't reliant on any other character at all I'm probably forgetting some other points but yeah point is she is just (too) cracked. I hope this doesn't mean Mihoyo is now okay with pure powercreep, I really like that Genshin is fairly reasonable with it.

[@kou2672]

the yelan cryo regisvine shield showcase was so fast because the shield wasnt up for when yelan did her E so it bypassed the damage reduction allowing it to deal massive damage

[@kou2672]

as u can see, it was from 12k consistent damage from her burst, and then it became 3.7k. the damage gaps mean that one was before the shield proc and one was after the shield proc

[@zakomimi4185]

You can clearly see that at start her Q ticks are doing 3k per hit and it only ramps up as it goes forward as it goes forward. Thus meaning that yes infact the regisvine did have it's shield from the very start. And just for clarification, raiden did the exact same If you are still doubtful, go check it yourself ingame before spouting something out something idiotic
