[@demonslayer4951]

Yup. Her enhance basic attacks are not nerf. Her Official, u just need to pass the jade screen and your geo stat/basic attacks are enhanced. It's more convenient than her cbt because u can't relocate her screen. This gives her more versatile role/support & it helps other geo characters by passing to her jade screen to boost their geo stats. The official version of her charge attack is not nerf! It's buff because it homing charge attack. It homes flying enemies. Easier to hit them & it's longer range than the cbt one. Also, the shattered gems deals little AOE damage every time her basic attacks or charge attacks hits enemies.

I'm still disappointed that they took this special passive away.

@@elpenguinoofmexico1388 It was CBT1. She had a passive where if she exits her sprint mode near a low HP enemy she'd do that slash attack.

[@lostsnail.]

iirc the reason they scrapped it was because testers were complaining that it made her too janky to play. the animation for the slash was also super long, which was a huge damage loss since the damage from the slash didn't make up for it.

[@marcolaudani4470]

I completely agree with you, especially Xiao, he needs this type of speed.

[@oh-noe]

ayaka’s spinning animation looks like a mess. I’m glad they took it out because it adds to make a lot of visual clutter, including venti’s obnoxiously bright and messy beta version

[@Fried_Chimken]

NOOOO HOW COULD THEY TAKE AWAY AYAKA’S LOVELY SPIN AROUND 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@Kureemy]

Well, it may cause a little bit of trouble because it makes the animation longer, which would make her playstyle a little rough unless you can do animation cancel. It looks nice visually, but metawise, not so much.

[@toastee5421]

Ning's old Charged Attack was very fitting with how she would use her Jade Chamber.

[@LynSain]

I like that in the official version of claymore users' charged attack, all characters who are canonically experienced fighters do not spin their claymore and instead perform actual HEMA techniques. Skallagrim has talked about this, and for reference I recommend watching Björn Rüther's. Itto, Dori and Kaveh are however, exceptional.

@@theplumscrub1627 they have unique animation for charged attacks based on their character profile

@@werewolf39 JUST LIKE LISA OMGOOGMGOMGG

[@ViperDivinity]

its a good one. there is a debate whether Ayaka's old passive is good or the newer one is better. I would say the 10% Cryo Increase and stamina generation is better than the old passive (deals 300%ish to the opponents with less than 30% health). It can be good if they buff the numbers and fasten the animation.

[@M0RAX]

Text to speech reading Oz literally as ounce and Xingqiu as Cross-inqiu 💀 That said I wish they kept the Ningguang screen buff on her normals. Way back that's literally what I expected it does as you would often want to be behind the screen as her but nope...

[@chaitalibakshi9862]

The current ningguang is better...the 10%on all your characters is better than just extra DMG on ningguang normals

[@princessharu2833]

@@chaitalibakshi9862 Agreed, but the effects on CBT Ningguang just look far more pleasing than the current one we have.

[@inplane9970]

Really hope they reintroduce Xinqiu's double-charge elemental skill to a new character, but make it more interesting like giving different benefits based on how many charges are used. Maybe using 1 charge can have on-field usage, while using 2 charges can have off-field usage.
