Alright im gonna cook up some CONSPIRACY Hoyo realized the lack of 5 star Fontaine units from the main cast and decided they need to artificially inflate the 5 star cast from that region instead of making more 4 stars.

That is true when you are min/maxing though, things are only worth investing in when they are better than the existing best option.

My biggest disappointment with Emilie is that she's just a generic, uninteresting damage dealer that effectively doesn't actually have any sort of synergy with Burning - instead Burning becomes a hard requirement for her and a massive limiting factor when building a team that doesn't ultimately do anything interesting. Even Nilou is better in that while she does restrict the team composition heavily, she also significantly changes the way you build the whole team by allowing otherwise undesirable combinations. With Emilie, the primary takeaway feels less like "she allows new competitive teams" and more like "she's garbage outside of her desired teams".

[@SageRuffin]

My Nilou Bloom team uses her, Barbara, DMC, and Nahida, with Barbara as the driver. I know Kokomi does almost everything Barbara does and better, but Kokomi is one of my least favorite characters in the entire cast, to the point where if I could "return" her, I would (long story).

[@Blizandrio]

Her burning teams WILL be competitive what are you on?

[@malevolentmoose]

​@@Blizandrio I'm merely saying that her Burning requirements aren't actually a synergy of any kind and instead it's a generic team building restriction that doesn't provide anything meaningful for the team - it is just a necessity for her not to be borderline useless. The only similar case that I can think of is Chiori asking for a Geo construct, but that at least comes naturally with the characters that she likes anyways, meanwhile Emilie's problem is not just "you need to use a Pyro character that can do the Burning" but also "you can't do anything that would interfere with the Burning", which immediately throws a lot of potential team comps out the window. And as an extra inconvenience, she doesn't want Electro anywhere near her. And what you get for it is just personal damage, on a secondary DPS at that.

[@heshaamjaved4385]

He called Chevreuse’s kit “bad design” but now he’s desperately trying to get her lmao

Well I for one really love her design and I like how we finally have a unit centered around Burning. Burning was the first and only Dendro reaction in the game at launch and now nearly four years in we can finally do something with it. For those reasons I'm excited. I'll definitely be pulling. Plus she's cute (again my opinion).

[@edenrav]

Man it feels like he's hating for no reason. From what I've seen you don't need a dedicated mono pyro team to make her work, any pyro + kazuha/venti will essentially let you sustain burning on nearly every enemy. She doesn't snapshot so she really isn't depending on Bennett, I actually think one of her better teams is gonna be a burning + burgeon team with thoma as the single pyro unit.

[@None38389]

Sure, but will that be a stronger option than the existing best teams? Because if it's not then she's pointless if your goal was to increase the overall power of your account, which I believe is the angle Zajef's evaluation is based on.

[@NaughtyNitrax]

-yes, but her damage is actually significant, so you're losing on a good portion of the team's total dps -the lower amount of hits might slow it down a little, even if icd is the same -she doesn't -depends on the enemy and/or time you have left to clear, on the baptist you definitely want to start a rotation before taking down the shield for example

[@zacflame1]

I've been using the team of (Venti/Kazuha)/Bennett/Nahida/Collei since Nahida dropped. Collei solely serves the purpose of emotional support (dendro resonance and maybe some energy particles here and there). Being able to fill that slot with any kind of synergistic unit is massive, though yeah, it's really disappointing that she is based on personal damage instead of enhancing the burn effect's AoE, giving heals from burning (the dmg reduction was also needed, but imo heals from it would also be appreciated and a whole other character for that purpose seems excessive), or straight up increasing EM or burning damage outright. Though Bennett is one of if not my favorite character, it seems that for the burning reaction to catch up with the rest of the game, we will have to see a new pyro character that ALSO focuses on this team, taking his slot.

I felt a similar disappointment when I saw Navia's kit. Their damage and animations are nice, but I really hoped they'd change how the reaction worked. I feel like hoyo's afraid of making new mechanics in case players might find a way to exploit it and make it too OP. Kinda like how Venti basically trivialized almost everything in 1.x or how Bennett and snapshotting became an iconic duo and so they made new content not compatible with those.

Instead of make her a dendro unit in burning tram by maybe increase damage of ally attaking burned enemy they make her an offield dps who struggled to have a flex slot in team wow peak kit design hoyo

[@Kennnn192]

I understand Zajef's sentiment about Emilie's boring kit. I was originally on the side of pulling for her for my Wriothesley because the idea of a Dendro unit actually dealing damage in burning teams did interest me but do I really need a Dendro Chiori? I already have Chiori and her kit is the most boring non existent kit ever and I say this as someone who does actually use her a lot since I use Navia often and I already had a good husk set taken from Albedo. 😭

[@brodericksiz625]

I don't understand... if apparently she's going to be pretty strong, with no major downsides and might feel good to play, what exactly is the problem? Why is her kit supposedly awful? I'd agree if you say that it's not interesting, it's really not when compared with Sethos, for instance, but uninteresting isn't the same thing as awful. The way I see it a kit is bad if it doesn't synergise with itself (like Albedo's, whose burst scales with atk and whose skill scales with def, and it never makes sense to build him for attack, so what's the point of his burst?) or if what it's trying to do is a bad idea to begin with (like, for example, Albedo's elevator: looking at his C4 and his demo it was probably intended to be used to do plunge attacks off of it... sorry I love Albedo but his kit is objectively awful). If neither of these is the case, why call her kit awful?

[@romankarol5370]

Her design is unoriginal and shoehorned into burning, she does nothing interesting with the reaction

[@brodericksiz625]

@@romankarol5370 Yes I agree. Her kit is cohesive and functional, as far as we can tell though, so, while I agree that it's uninteresting and unnecessary, I don't think either of those things means that it's bad, compared with broken and dysfunctional kits like Xinyan's or Albedo's

[@EdenVix]

He's not saying she's bad, he actually called her strong in the video. He's using awful as a synonym for uninteresting/boring, that's why he's calling her that. Nothing to do with her powerlevel really so don't take it to heart

[@brodericksiz625]

@@EdenVix It's not the power level, there are some characters with awful kits who at some point were functional in the meta (again, I refer to Albedo), it's that I believe that a boring but functional kit isn't awful, it's just boring

Her design is like Kaveh but for burning but since she's a 5* she'll probably deal dmg unlike Kaveh I love that hoyo makes characters to buff weaker reactions but the way they do it is kinda lame nilou doesn't work unless u have only hydro and dendro , chevrose is the same but with electro and pyro, navia doesn't improve crystalize and chiori doesn't need more than 1 construct and doesn't change constructs' flaws or even buff them

Because hoyo are being lazy af with design

[@Nowaylarry]

Hmm, couldn't Emilie work in an air fryer team (Emilie, Kazoo, Bennett, Nahida)? The largest downside to air fryer was the self damage and she drastically reduces that self damage. Edit; Oh and I actually do like her character design. It fits the region, her job and stands out enough. If we want to talk about Hoyo character designs that are let down, March's new design for HSR looks like she is doing a low budget Lafou themed cosplay. The red jacket is especially jarring.

[@luiss428]

chat is so braindead wtf T.T powercreep started with nahida?? i dont think we had a good dendro applier prior, you cant "powercreep" smth that doesnt exist yet + she has major caveats againts wave enemies for on field aggravates who dont wanna switch out (tho thats a minor issue as not a lot play cyno anyway) if you wanna talk powercreep go to neuvilette. between him, childe and ayato (onfield hydro apps), neuv somehow has busted multipliers and self sustain even even arle has some downtime on her pyro app against horde enemies. shes much more comfortable to play than hu tao (even if HT is c1), but hu tao honestly still powers through

[@amanagamsarao9490]

Anyone who comes to zajef for his takes regarding character design or story elements is asking to be stepped on. Dont forget this is the guy who thinks xinqui is the “most fun” character to play in this game. Ahh yes getting frozen and then going off field is so fun. omg!

[@Med1umentor]

@@violet_evergarden450 i checked, and he wasn't talking about "XQ = fun" exactly, but how it's not fun to get rid of him, and suddenly everything is bad. XQ is universally useful, and that's why it feels good to have it in your team, it's not about "E-Q-swap" gameplay (which is, lets be real, a majority of characters). And in that comparison, XQ is indeed covering as much ground as no any other character ever could.

I love how Zajef is ALWAYS disappointed nowadays. “She’s boring to play” when she litterally has the same gameplay Fischl has.

[@Med1umentor]

I think that "boring" isn't about her gameplay exactly, which most characters share, aka "Q-E-swap" :D It's about her kit being "if someone burning - she does damage, if it's not - she does not". And there is nothing beside that. Fischl legit suited for tons of different teams, while emilie is just - "if it's not burning, you put a wrong character in your team". If they designed a new character based on "hey, lets made a character almost exactly like a previous one, but make them dependent on under-utilised reaction to bring it from the dead", i wouldn't deny that it's very "boring". Atleast navia have quite a unique gameplay, despite being brought out on "crystallize". But Emilie? She doesn't really bring anything at all. Other than protection from the catching yourself on fire while playing burning team, which was retarded mechanic in the first place, and needed to get rid entirely, and not by introducing 5* character.

[@undeniablySomeGuy]

10:48 Calling Wuthering Waves' combat "button mashing" actually baited me, like what? There is strategy and precision in being able to pilot Wuwa teams while successfully dodging enemies. In comparison, I'd say most content in Genshin is button mashing. Most enemies in the game are handled in literally the same way. If you get Zhongli for one side and hyperfridge on the other side, you literally faceroll button mash most abysses. Any teams using xingqiu or other normal attack off-fielders already encourage you to "button mash" normal attacks to get rainsword procs.
