Thank you for showing Yuanwu some love, I got him fully build and leveled everything at 70. Currently sits at 3.2K defense. He opens up a lot at that level and I suggest that if you got him at s3 (preferably s6) or you just like his character you start to build him at that level. He will auto place the totem on his burst, and his E starts hitting pretty hard on-hit. Currently dealing about 1.5k dmg and that damage hits the enemies a lot with PERMANENT uptime! He is not dependant on his ultimate like mortefi is and you always have his totem. Which also gets a huge upgrade in range at 70). His rotation is also VERY fast and feels so good to use; - intro / slam E / hold E (forte explodes his totem for dmg) / slam down another E / ult. This combination of moves takes about 4 seconds. Honestly, this guy is just a lot of fun!

He's pretty much around that tier, maybe a tier above... right now. Like the video states, it isn't until level 90 and some dupes that he really shines, and that's months from now and the meta/tier lists, as stated early in the video, talk about what's effective RIGHT NOW. Most people will be around UL 40-45, maybe 50 for some so nobody has their characters at maximum potential. We'll see if this translates well into the future, but most people who crunch numbers will not advocate for him since his numbers right now are, as I like to say, simply ass.

@EzadeX6 ай бұрын
One thing you should have mentioned is that his totem being up when he ults explodes for more damage as well. So The dmg goes beyond the estimated 700% as the totem explosion does an additional 59.65% DEF on top. The S5 not being important I disagree since it gives 50% dmg bonus on the ult. As there is a possibility for 44111 to compete with 43311 in a fully upgraded s6 build for certain teams with specific rotations. Or even dropping one of the 30% elemental dmg in 43311 for Energy Recharge% could be really fun. Unlocking s6 that allows Yuanwu to increase def% for allies makes him able to be a buffer for defense scaling characters. Which means when more Def scaling characters release his value will also increase. Also def% substats max is higher than atk% and hp% so this means he will get more value from substats than most characters. There is a lot we can't test until we can get proper echoes and max level sadly. As there will be multiple ways to use and play characters I can see some characters being used in much different ways. Like how some echoes do less damage but give a certain utility in how they move or enabling a special parry to dmg the enemy vibration bar and allow for more dps windows. There is only so much we can go off numbers and theorize until we can properly test them. Def and HP scaling character are late bloomers. I think Taoqi will also jump up in the tier list as the game goes on.

The thing i like about this company and their game is the fact that they design and build their characters so well that u dont have to build a team with X Y Z becase otherwise u`re doing it wrong. No. Literally every character in this game can solo the entire content this game has to offer. I did that solo character thing even with Alto or Taoqi (Another def% character that will destroy this game`s content at lvl 90) on most hologram bosses and such and belive it or not they all do amazing job. Using sub-dps character and/or a support character does nothing but to make the things easier and faster. Thank you for this video mr. Aznvasions.

Finally someone explained it, in a youtube video that isn't just showing an attack stat wuan wu doing potatoe damage with his infused state. I've been telling people that defense character relies very much on level. The shitty numbers on him is merely because of his potential defense. My tao qi meanwhile is hitting like a truck for 3-6k dmg that's without any form of echoes yet to boost her defense properly and I can throw hands with SP charges since she's S5 making her bloody insane. Providing 20sp per hit of her forte with zero cooldowns attached. It's easy to imagine her building big ass shields and throwing 20-40k ults every time a concerto get's activated on her which makes her stop being just a support tank turning into a burst carry tank.

Really nice video! I was thinking something and would love your opinion on it. i'm pretty much considering going the PGR route and just going all dps with my electro team (Calcharo-Yinlin-Yuanwu). im gonna be honest playing supports here at least in the current game's state feels a bit underwhelming I dont see them changing my main dps damage that much (the atk buff from moonlight seems really wack) so I was thinking why not just go all on DPS and, And Yuanwu can just bring a shield to the table from time to time to help out. My Yinlin is also with the electro set because I think it will be a waste not to she can really be a big part of your dmg in a team on and off field. And in my case, im getting Calcharo the 5 star weapon from the level 45 chest so im gonna have a ton of ATK already, I dont know how it works in this game but it feels like ima have so much atk ill hit diminishing returns, And even if not having 3 characters doing dps and cracking boss toughness bar then beating the hell out of them just seems better for me. As a matter of fact, Please anyone who wants to chime in and give me their take I would love that :)

He serves as a strong vibration breaker but to be labeled as a dps is a stretch. Even assuming doubling the statistics on his skills due to def->atk conversion, his main source of dps, being 5 basics in forte still pales in comparison to notably strong 4 stars currently. And comparing his coordinating attacks to mortefi and saying its cracked is misleading, as mortefi's coordinating arks hit in .35s intervals, and csn hit twice vis heavy attacks, not to mention his I2 makes each hit stack in dmg, up to 75x. He would also still benefit from flat def stats from echos, and he will def benefit from flat def from weapons when such weapon gets released in the future, which will happen in most likelihood.
