How is the comment longer than the vid 💀

[@hitchicker42]

Vars, you’ve not been cooking on Genshin recently, first the repeat of your “power five” video for the billionth time, and now “chasca is power creep” there are so many things you could be talking about with Genshin: Mulani wants toward vape, kinich want burn, what unexplored reaction could new units want to use? Is phlogiston any good? Outside of Natlan you hardly get any at all, how would you fix this? Could there be a character that serves as a phlogiston battery maybe. But you just keep on repeating yourself over and over again

Chasca is the first new character that can deal Cryo damage since Charlotte in 4.2. Let that sink in. We have gotten an Anemo character that deals Cryo damage on their own before we got a new Cryo character and before Wriothesley got his first re-run.

[@LongDeadArtist]

Shenhe has been gone for the entirety of HSR.. 😨

[@Fluskar]

@@LongDeadArtist and ZZZ too i guess xd

[@lucasayabe]

if we got a new cryo character in 5.1, Chasca still would be a anemo character that can deal cryo damage before a new cryo character, and since Citlali is coming in 5.3, this statement don't make much sense. We all knew we would got a new Cryo character since the Natlan trailer. Having a anemo character that can deal cryo (or any PECH) isn't a huge deal either, as infusion is a mechanic since anemo traveller, so we always had this in the game since 1.0. What Chasca do of different is that she's the only character in the game that can do multiple element attacks on her own in the game, since even for other anemos they're limited to 2 (anemo and the infusion).

Ignore this, holy shit most dmg calculation put her behind other damage dealer, she requires a shielder since she can get knocked down from ther air, she also needs specific teammates to work well with (unltil you C2 her), outside from Natlan she can also struggle with her Nightsoul Points, she can work well in specific Teams an especially in Natlan but she is propably the weaker of the Natlan Characters or at least more limited in which team you can use her. She is still good but nothing close to a Xilonen or any other recent 5 Star, however her Exploration Skills are probaply one if not the best in the game so thats that, Ororon is pretty good for a 4 Star tho, a little bit worse or equal to Fishl. Genshin is powercreeping but holy hell this is probaply the least powercreep patch in recent history

[@Lolamy]

??? i've been using her without a shielder and she has not gotten knocked out of the air once, the enemies literally can't reach her and its easy to move out of the way of projectiles.

[@blazikenfury8852]

I agree with the latter part of what you said but I played with her quite a while, and not once was she knocked down, and Vars was talking about outside of Natlan combat. If you're talking abt in Natlan combat her dmg is higher than 5800% MV. But I do agree, she is not powercreep by any semblance, heck she might be one of the weaker recent on fielders, as her dmg falls off a cliff in AOE

[@joaomiranda2252]

I think this video is overrating Chasca quite a lot, considering Kinich does about as much single target damage as her but is considered slightly worse than alhaitham but sure

[@usmanya5110]

I thought kinich is around the same level of Al since They both felt different without needing to compete with eachother, Kinich has higher damage output but is super single target(unless if the enemies are like tightly close to each other.) and his teams are abit more restrictive while Al deals less damage but has rotational flexibility and good AoE. though i think he might be better soon when mavuika comes out.

[@jeanwinter5275]

I aimed for C2 Kinich to get AoE on his hits and even left him with a free claymore (as it's good enough), cannot stress enough how good he becomes with animation-cancel technique = consistent 5 hits per rotation trivializes everything except fast moving targets, like current consecrated beast and you better rely on auto-aim than hope your camera lands directly on the target for a fast-shot

Kinich can surpass al haitham lol

[@Nekotamer]

hey dude, lynette has entered anger mode because you just plainly ignored her ability to do other types of damage.

[@luckytanuki5449]

She only does that when she swirls with an existing on field element like all other anemo characters. I think he meant she can deal other elemental damage without any present element to swirl from, just by having the characters in the party.

[@lucasayabe]

@@luckytanuki5449 you still can do this with infusion, by using enemy auras or getting hit by their attacks

You need high constellations for her gaining respectable AoE damage, at C0 she splits and decreases her dps drastically.

I don’t get it, who is Chasca power creeping precisely?

[@pituOkumura]

Fact: chasca is not the first character and actually not even the first anemo character that can deal other elemental type of damage; L,ynettes burst after going under elemental infusion deals damage of corresponding element it coverted to. Yeah its not high damage but is non-anemo elemental damage on her own kit.

[@CelVini]

Other Anemo characters can do the same bro, Venti, Sucrose, Sayu, Kazuha. The point is Chasca being the only one that doesn't absorb elements on field to deal Non Anemo dmg

[@isaqani7543]

This is definitely a take

[@yourcow135]

She’s legitimately nothing compared to neuvilette what are you on about

did you skip the part where that’s mostly true when she has constellations? which is just a fact at that point, basically every newgen dps is better than neuvillette at c2+ (yes, counting him with his own c2)

Something I also really like is how they avoided making Ororon and Kinich get forced into Quicken. So far, Ororon is the only electro Natlan character that can trigger night soul, and Kinich is the same with Dendro, meaning they are the only quicken characters that can trigger Ororon’s passive, but Kinich works worse in Quicken teams.

[@violxtfaerie]

even if we say that Chasca is as strong as Neuvilette for the sake of argument idk how that would be powercreep becuz that would just mean that power level is becoming standardized. It WOULD be powercreep if Chasca was significantly stronger than Neuvilette cuz it would mean the bar is being raised higher, but it’s not. As for Ororun i don’t see how he’s powercreeping anyone. it’s not like he’s fischl but better, they have their own more individual uses i sat through this whole video trying to figure out what was actually powercreep 😭

[@usmanya5110]

Idk if any of these 2 represent powercreep. Ororon might.. but not to fischl. but to beidou and not completely . I mean he works in AoE and can actually work in ST however beidou has damage reduction and a shield at c2. Also i don't understand how he would be worse in spread since That's one of fischl lesser teams since her A4 can't be abused. I thought it be the opposite with him being better in EC and Spread while fischl on other teams. I wonder if cinder city can even make up for the damage in fischl's other teams where her damage is relevant, Some chevreuse teams and ofc the Clorinde quickbloom teams, and the aggravate centered teams where she's BiS.

[@alfredxsiv]

13:07 it doesn't necessarily translate to more electro application. It is noted in the wiki that ororon's burst has special ICD that it only applies electro every 3s (and it doesn't have any hit ICD), so the faster electro hits is literally just more personal damage for ororon (unless his C4 changes the special ICD). Also i know its clickbait, but no chasca in terms of theoretical DPS doesn't powercreep any main-DPS in the game, in her premium team rn (before mavuika's release) her team DPS is only around that of alhaitham/clorinde/kinich tier DPS, it is no means bad, but it is strictly single target at C0. e.g. 5:00 you know who else also deals that much motion value in the duration of their E? yup, kinich if you can do his quick-hold techs in which you can consistently fire 5 1200% canon shots, you want an example not from natlan, yup clorinde if you're using 4tf on her, she can 2E-state per rotation resulting in around 5.6k motion value, this is not counting all the fischl A4 passive she effectively drives. now i do agree chasca is "powercreep", but in terms of exploration. Even outside of natlan, chasca's exploration is equal or outright just better than wanderer (E-state: sprinting- about equal; vertical- chasca a bit better; no sprint- chasca is way better)

[@lychee0127]

I have a c6 chasca and, (i) no at c0 she does not powercreep Neuvillette, arlecchino, or mualani. (ii) at c6 she’s, imo, top 5 but no she hasn’t powercrept the aforementioned three, so she didn’t break the game. Also, current abyss buffs favor her. (iii) if you’re not intending to pull for cons, or waiting for mavuika, she’s probably not the best for you.

He gets money making videos for Genshin so it doesn't matter if his audience gives Genshin more.

[@elv6240]

fontaine has done wonders for the game (in a bad way) honestly not surprised if people start quitting because of every new chara is going to be stronger than the previous

[@LaytennD]

As much as i like flying in games... I gotta save for mavuika...

[@hex90778]

She will fly as well so you’re fine

[@hamletfu8491]

@@hex90778it’s more like a glide tbh

[@hamletfu8491]

@ No the hell it doesn’t have you seen her leaked gameplay ?

[@happymuffin2673]

Not seeing the powercreep here.. I can understand youtubers to wanna hype new units but lets at least be realistic. Chasca looks great but she has some issues. Plus she cines before an Archon. Lots of reasons to think before pulling for her

[@adamlevine5218]

I think the title for the video doesn’t accurately capture its content. I agree with your points actually. Chasca is powerful (and way too similar to Wanderer), but I feel like it’s less an issue of her actual power and more an issue of Hoyo’s shifting their game design philosophy. It’s not the fact that Chasca exists in this state, but rather, what her existence means as a representation of the type of experience/outcome Hoyo is trying to cultivate/achieve. I love your videos, keep fighting the good fight.

[@talkingzack4926]

12:00 Vars had night terrors about the comment section and had to wake up and make an edit

[@reece5634]

Got c1 Ororon so far. Not Chasca yet. Hopefully soon and 50/50 win so I can continue saving for the next archon, Mavuika

[@Zodia195]

I just tried both of these chars today with the trial. First impression of Chasca- I'll be getting her at some point. It's the Navia situation all over again- Fun char, bad timing. I am trying to build an Overload team for Snezhnaya and that is going to take priority, which is why I am waiting for Mavuika. But yeah it's going to hurt to skip Chasca. Now with Ororon, with him being Electro-Charged geared, I won't be trying to get him too since I am also trying to avoid chars that help Hydro reactions since I have plenty of chars to help with that. Hydro isn't good against Cryo, so yeah.

[@TheArcSet]

Thanks for this. Though I think you might be missing the fact that she has anti-synergy with vulnerability units, so her scaling's to balance that, not necessarily pull ahead of other DPSes who can exploit that more.

[@grzegorzbrzeczyszczykiewic5880]

I wasn't gonna be upset at not getting Chasca but I got her, she's just fun. Despite powercreep Genshin is still fun first and foremost and flying around on a giant revolver is one of definitions of fun 😅

[@princemannic]

yknow i think feature creep might be more accurate

[@Redst0neWiz]

seems weird to say that now is when the floodgates are opening. like... furina coming out and doing literally everything hydro is known for, then immediately neuvillette coming out, was that not the writing on the wall?

[@KARINA-joy]

Thanks for this video

[@hardache]

I’m kinda free to play and I’m looking on pulling Nuvellette C1 next patch. Should I pull on this banner too?

[@pumpkins3005]

i'd suggest you look into other creators' takes on her first, this video is misleading in the way it overstates her effectiveness. she's great for exploration but nowhere near the level of neuvilette or arlecchino. good luck on your pulls! :)

[@EllaFayre]

Also I would generally advise this - don't just pull on dps characters unless you like them, and you have fun with their playstyle. Especially as a ftp. Invest in the dps characters you like, and good supports that make your favorite characters stronger. It'll make your account better and more fun in the long run. If you are only looking for strength, Nuevi will generally be a stronger pull than these banners.

[@gudcjd1300]

Anybody else notice that an X was SPECIFICALLY placed on Bennett's groin?

[@ggbb8706]

This video is so horrible it makes me wanna go 91mph in a 35mph zone, bro gotta stop the Chasca glazing.

[@LuketheDuke424]

There has been powercreep over the last year, but Chasca is definitely not evidence for that lolll

[@sjaakbakker9944]

Fischl got yet another buff this update with the reaction buffs lol

[@micigno2746]

I don't see any problem with powercrept as long as they don't balance the game around them (like a game mode where you can't complete it without having at least one of these characters)

[@luckytanuki5449]

You don't see how more and more powerful characters will lead to people wanting more difficult enemies causing the lesser units to be unable to compete? People are already asking for tougher abyss enemies because the characters we have now are so strong. I'll give an example if you need one. I usually could only get 3-6 stars on floor 12 on the abyss. After xilonen came out it's been consistent full 9 stars since she came out. She allowed me, someone who puts little thought into min maxing, to full clear the top floors of the spiral abyss. If these characters are gonna make combat that much easier, people are gonna want harder fights to reintroduce challenge to the game. And that's when older characters get left behind. You will start seeing a problem with power creep then.

[@darkdrac7012]

​@luckytanuki5449 Or, hear me out here, they can do what fromsoft players did for years, have some imagination, and try to make self-imposed challenges like using less popular or weaker characters for more challenging content. I AM NOT SAYING THIS IS THE SOLUTION, I AM JUST SAYING THIS IS AN OPTION, and it is a proven method. Self regulated difficulty, the game is only as hard or as easy as you want them to be.

[@luckytanuki5449]

@darkdrac7012 You and I both know how gamers are. They will always find the easiest path to achieving the goal and use it 100% of the time lol. Yea they COULD do self imposed challenges but they aren't going to because they would prefer to complain about the lack of end game content and difficulty of enemies.

[@lucasayabe]

@@luckytanuki5449 the only real struggle is for 4* only teams, most of the old characters can still do fine nowdays with the right supports, its just not that easy. Keqing a 1.0 DPS, still one of my most confortable clears for every abyss since Sumeru, maybe only Neuvi and Arle teams can beat her on my account if not for specific enemy gimmicks like geo shield.

[@luckytanuki5449]

@lucasayabe Sure they can FOR NOW. But that's the point I'm making, for how long will that be the case. If units keep getting more and more powerful and people want harder enemies to fight. At some point older or less viable teams aren't gonna cut it anymore.

[@thatoneothergamer6158]

I dont know why but my gut tells me that they're giving us this power creep and QOL early into Natlan to hold us over and give us that dopamine hit while they finish debugging and making a concrete plan for the next few patches. 1 new five star every month and a half is equivalent to a famine in terms of genshin. I dont expect this power creep to last forever and personally Im thankful for that.

[@eccentricunknown4255]

Chasca and Ororon just came out, I think we just have to wait and see. Let these new units marinate.

[@_elynas]

she not allat

[@hudiyo69]

I HOPE THEY WILL BUFF OLD CHARACTERS. WE NEED BALANCE

[@Ben-v6z3s]

No, the game is balanced already

[@ozzcoremidmx8287]

Now let's see if Mavuika will finally powercreep Bennett and Xiangling, if that barrier gets broken then HoyoVerse will enter a new age. lol.

[@TragicIrina]

I’m praying she’s not a dps and is really good subdps/support

[@RaynmanPlays]

It's not just Archons that are OP. The Fatui are also OP. It's also likely that the Adepti will be OP as well. Characters that belong to certain "sets" seem like they will be OP as a rule. Our exposure to the characters from Natlan has mostly been Kachina + the legendary heroes. Not only does it make sense for the legendary heroes of the nation of war to be OP, but they are also part of a "set." Kachina was certainly not OP. We'll see if Citlali continues this trend of OP Natlan characters or not.

[@Moonf1shDoron]

I'm really enjoying Ororon, he plays really easy in quickswap electrocharge with sucrose, Dori and xingqiu/furina, and his overworld movement is to me better and smoother than all the anemo boys combined

[@doublechecksources7113]

Maybe I will get Chasca on her rerun. I have so many characters now that I'm not thrilled on getting more 5* characters and farming artifacts for them. Unless they are Archons, or they are so meta they are must pull. Best recent example being Xilonen, who by herself can res shred, heal, and buff group damage.

[@agiant5715]

I got her accidentally while pulling oronon but I feel ya. Keing, tighnari, mualani, xilonen, kachina and now chasca and oronon all at once is already giving me a headache. Im lucky atleast that most using the the same natlan artfiact domain but my experience with emblem and golden troupe domain taught me that this isnt really that big of a help in farming for many characters

[@jetkirby3981]

Just need better 4 stars on a banner

Now we just need a superconduct user, just the reaction though.

[@Lost_S]

her multipliers are pretty close to kinich’s tbh except that she doesnt have acess to a teamate holding deepwood but she has access to furina and Xilonen’s/Kazuha’s buffs, except that you want c2 for the last two

[@bags]

almost tricked me into pulling chasca but man this glazing is crazy

[@overlordshiina]

I guess we now know why the 5.0 Abyss got that +100% HP multiplier

[@AdamB_29]

I was at 0 pity with no guarantee and thought "fuck it, I want ororon. What's the worst that could happen?"... 20 wishes in (1st 10 pull yielded a sucrose) and I get Ororon... the Tighnari... then Chasca. If only I'd waited and maybe i'd have got both Mavuika and Granny Itzli

i love the change they're making with having a characters skill be the bulk of their dmg. having to build er on a dps, or even an off fielder, is such a waste bc of how much dmg you're losing for choosing er over crit stats

[@dmitri_1i]

I'd say shes on par with kinich and Navia. Mualani? No

[@PaulHofreiter]

Natlan chars are mid af. Xilonen is the only one I wanted, and considering the Archon and PMC leaks I will probably just uninstall again - the nightsoul region locking is cancer and Fontaine’s characters were way cooler and more likable. Hoyo knows that I’m sure so they focus on nightsoul fomo and power creep lol can’t wait for Da Wei going to “cry” and emotionally manipulate players again as he laughs all the way to the bank. See you in Snezhnaya I guess.

@@PaulHofreiter Oh, right. Yeah, Natlan has been a shitshow in terms of its characters, and I'm especially disappointed with Mavuika.

I ended up getting 2 Chasca's with the 80 pulls I'd saved trying to get 1 damn Ororon, i didn't even pull for Xilonen so I'd need to find some other benefit I can gain from her C1

[@agiant5715]

I had many discord freinds who also got her unwanted while trying to pull for oronon to the point of we re calling her albedo 2.0. I myself got her once but lucky it was at 8 pity with the next 10 pull giving me mona saving my grantee for mavuika. But i have to admit i went "Fu-" out loud when the 1st pull went gold
