[@woahitsfranco5286]

I think its funny how Lingyang got hated on for his furry design yet Von Lyacon is the most popular character in ZZZ atm 😭

[@angpham941]

Yeah its a huge different in reception between CN beta for Lingyang and the global release for Lycaon. Lingyang got really tarnished way before the game is released

[@Grsas]

Lingyang and lycaon are probably on the opposite sides of the spectrum on how a furry is implemented

[@bkelso61]

I mean, if you do it right, no one cares that much. Plus, characters specifically like Von are usually more accepted since bipedal canine/ wolf characters are more commonly seen in media as a whole than characters like LingYang.

[@FrostySnow1000]

@@bkelso61white buff tigers gets money too (mountain arknights, JinQue dislyte)

[@KahlevN]

Have you actually looked at the designs of the two characters? Furry or not, Lycaeon is 1000x cooler and more interesting looking than Lingyang's old design.

[@therranolleo468]

at least Lycaon managed to break the cycle of mediocre-to-bad ice type character as a starting 5* in a 3d gacha game by being the best unit you can get yourself in the standard banner for ZZZ

[@gag8763]

I won 2 50/50’s and got 2 ellens when I was hoping to lose to lycaon💀

[@memoryofsalem4474]

​@@gag8763 mission failed successfully

[@SageRuffin]

Lycaon was the first 5-star I got in that game and, at the time, I wasn't a fan because he felt clunky and awkward. Then I paired him with Soukaku (the blue oni girl) and Corrin (the maid with the chainsaw who can't stop crying) and _holy moly!_ If nothing else, that extra Stun damage is no joke.

[@jvxiv7318]

​@gag8763 at least you have a stronger Ellen. I've lost 1 to Koleda and the 2nd was guaranteed to be Ellen. The worst part is from the standard banner, I got Nekomata, The Restrained(Lycaon's W engine) and Fusion Compiler(Grace's W engine). I cry myself to sleep every night knowing I am missing so much. I mean, the W engine for Lycaon means I would be able to get his max potential when I get him but I'm still sad that I got Grace's W engine since I don't use anomaly characters.

[@therranolleo468]

It feels like they intended several characters to be played with the gameplan of "break the boss's toughness bar with the rest of your team and then unload character X's full combo while they're stunned." The problem is any DPS can do that, so a DPS that only does that is substandard.

[@keno-o1484]

Lingyang could probably use the Glacio Dreadmane as the main Echo because it can be used mid-air, but it does put you back on the ground once it's finished.

[@brycecai4700]

I think Lingyang will get stronger as time goes on, but he won’t be meta ever. I think his biggest weakness is that there isn’t a shielder aside from Jianxin, who is anti synergistic with him because she takes his much needed field time away. If we get a Zhongli type shielder, I’d imagine him to feel much better to play.

[@blindaim]

Taoqi is also a shielder.

[@arteliniusz.5872]

While Kuro is more open in buffing their units, like how in PGR they buff existing units via leaps. In wuwa, they might take a more traditional gacha approach of fixing existing units by releasing another unit that might buff the character indirectly or straight up replace him/her with a new unit of similar playstyle. I actually think that wuwa is already embracing the latter approach of fixing units as we've seen with Xiangli Yao literally being Calcharo 2.0(I have a feeling that after Taoqi, Cal will be next in "Why no one plays" xD), because it is more financially beneficial. So with all that said above, there's a fat chance that Lingyang himself will get a buff to his kit, either kuro will release a support or sub-dps that synergizes with him well or straight up release an ice dps unit that replaces the jingle "deez nuts" beast, and we all know the latter will most likely happen xDD

Zhezhi is probably the most dedicated support for lingyang currently, being able to buff ice damage, skill damage and apparently give energy regen

[@lionelmarcussolaris2858]

The thing about Lingyang against other DPS is that Lingyang is very dependent on his combo and is greedy in on-field time. He's also uncomfortable because he can't quickswap but this is not much of a problem for me. This is what I noticed as a Lingyang main. The only reason why he's pretty mid is because of his damage multipliers but otherwise, he's very fun to play and pretty easy to learn. I also noticed that he's very comfortable to use in mobile and his outro skill damage is crazy. If you're only interested in Meta, then by all means don't pull nor use him unless he gets a significant buff.

[@Synash]

Lingyang mains, Vars has finished us…😔

[@M0ndi]

I get that Lingyang's not among the best but I still find him fun to play as especially when exploring and echo farming.

[@yojo8667]

Oh yeah, further explanation on why mech abomination and the lingering tunes set is considered the current best set for him currently; Due to the way damage calc works, it’s better to have a good mix of high attack and ele dmg and Lingyang’s ultimate provides additional ele dmg for a duration, meaning gaining additional atk helps him more than additional stacking of ele dmg for him damage wise.

[@austinlim54]

But lingering set just isn't enough or as instant. Especially because if I build a glacial set. I'm building 3 cost atk echoes instead of farming for a specific DMG set

[@shadowboi8620]

They really got to add more echoes, echo set effects, characters, and weapons, which synergize more with his playstyle. Currently the only echo which really synergizes with his midair playstyle is the glacio dreadmane, but even then it lacks the damage and buffs of 4-cost echoes.

[@TJF588]

Qiqi: Cryo Yanqing: Ice Lingyang: Glacio ...and then came Von Lycaon!

[@magic_cfw]

I do feel that Lingyang could fill the role of a "rusher" if that ever becomes a thing. I feel that Jinhsi, while sharing the "enchanced normals" feature, hers is more a buffer for her nuke, so she can't dump her forte immediately, as she is likely to die before she could pull it off. This is worsened by the fact she isn't that mobile in the air. As you had mentioned, anti-interruption should be baked into his kit, providing himself as a sticky DPS which can fight through things apart from hard CC, not necessarily a tank but can take chip damage and heal while in the reserve when your burst or support are doing their things. Effectively, they selling point is their ease of use and existing outside of the DPS rotation system. This brings into comparison you made with Rover and Danjin, as they focus on being on the field for longer and focusing on their basic attack chains. Rover and Danjin have means to restore their HP on the field, so when given forms of anti interruption (bell turtle or chadwu, etc) they can go ham. Lingyang does have skills which help him shorten his B. Attack chain, but he lacks the same ability to reliably sustain himself on the field that his kit builds him up to be.

[@voshadxgathic]

Actually the only standard character I don't own, and I'm pretty fine with that. Aside from basically breakdance fighting, there's nothing all that cool about him. Fun overworld pick perhaps, but not meta. Comparing the others: Verina, #1 character in the game, universal support fits on any team. Jianxin, worse Verina. Provides shields, which is arguably better than healing, and comes with crowd control, but feels slower and less reliable overall. Calcharo: Diluc in a Sephiroth cosplay, with Cyno burst. That's basically the whole kit. It's not strictly bad, even post nerf, but it can be incredibly difficult to get the maximum value from him. Encore: Annoying little kid, who happens to be everything we wanted Klee to be. Arguably competitive with limited 5 stars, but I personally am not a fan of her.

[@zeromailss]

Calcharo number is not terrible but his gameplay is cuz of his BS forte mechanic so people don't play him anymore while Lingyang base number is a joke, he is much weaker than any other DPS on top of being meh to play. At least Calc look hella badass and when played properly feels pretty good

@@ZeromusNightmare122 friend, you clearly have a bias for Yanqing so let me point out : nobody hating on Yanqing as a character, but his kit is objectively no where near good enough for majority of people.

[@kison7715]

honestly... had i been forced to pick between qiqi, yanqing or lingyang, i would have chose the latter, because he is way more fun to play than the other two lol

[@rinoku16]

I started playing this game with him being one of the first reasons, i even chose his copy over verina, i love him so much an i wish he could be decent, but... it is what it is, at least he is playable and fun to play, and also adorable

[@tlgsparkle]

fun fact: Lingyang’s Japanese VA is the VA for Tanjiro from Demon Slayer

[@hiimshana]

2/2 of my lost 50-50s were on Lingyang, just throwing it out there…

[@Egress00]

He's cute AF but the wolf howl absolutely sent me 😭

[@predatorasap5040]

It's like they just grabbed a bat and beat the sh*t out of his kit and than sat it on fire for good measure

[@jeromesol2725]

The irony here is that, in PGR CN, Ice Team is very strong team and even in GLB (to some extent)

[@ButtonsTaru]

I love his design and personality and wish he was just stronger. I got him during the last banner but it will be ages before I can build him, because unfortunately materials are just better invested in stronger characters right now.

[@101rsb]

I like Lingyang design, like thats my optimistic artistic dancing son, with a sad furry backstory. Like you said he has no good equipment/support. At least in the early game, he was fun to jump around and explore. I did end up getting Jhinsi, so now he's benched till further notice.

[@horo-horoxdive8046]

Maybe the next T5 Gauntlet weapon will give some of the pump that Lingyang need.

[@sandwich934]

personally im not going to use lingyang for yapping to much in his story quest, i just wanted my astrites and this mf has like 20 lines of dialogue on how he woke up this morning

[@thewanderingartists]

Press Skip button Feel peace

[@jayfergie8420]

I have a Fully Built E2 Lvl80 lingyang on BP weap and as a (or maybe the only main) i love and adore his character and gameplay cause im not all about meta

[@lucapangrazi9217]

Lingyan is greatly over dpsed by any well built danjin, its not even a discusion

[@enragedmang]

He's my main and I enjoy his playstyle. Beyond that I don't really care much about optimizing beyond what a f2p can do and i'm not having issues doing any content so...

[@ravage5837]

We dont play lingyang because he is the cursed character in terms of pulling on limited banners

[@theherbst4851]

I read that Lingyang cannot dodge while in air, so that also play a good role of him being ignored

[@emeralddragon596]

I main Lingyang, and this misinformation is everywhere lol. He can absolutely dodge in the air. Sometimes people say he only gets one dodge too, which is also false

[@QwertyLovers]

​​​​​​​​​​​​​@@emeralddragon596 i have lingyang and play him for like 30 min for fun, yes, he cant cancel his plunge attack, and his heavy attack require 1 basic attack before launching him to the air, and i kid you not, his dodge counter is 2 hit (non cancellable) and the hit animation is longer than slow motion from dodge. i always died trying to defeat lvl 120 bear with his dodge counter, especially when that bear uses 5 hit combo, and i can do just fine using another char (btw calcharo has 2 hit dodge counter too, but at least his attack is cancellable using dodge)

[@justracoon7621]

both Tao and Ling were the first chars i builded still playing the tiger boy but the booba girl was replaced by the other 5star gauntlet char

[@FL0W3R423]

Lingyang is one of my 2 favorite 5 star characters. I find lingyang is so much fun to play in my opinion. 😭

[@lamdang2875]

11:57 auto caption wrote Danjin as Death Engine and honestly after 2 weeks on my Danjin Rover Verina team I am very inclined to agree

[@Dabe31XD]

If you ever make ep2, you should make it for calcharo. Specially when xingli yao releases. He's very clunky and nerf before the game releases. Also yinlin can't save him that's why she leaving him soon.

[@Arteksoff]

As someone who wanted to main Lingyang and chose him in the standard banner, I can't say I'm satisfied with his. performance. I tried to him as much as possible but he fell off rather quickly. I gave up on playing him when I saw that my Lamylumen Myriad deals more damage than modt of his rotation.

[@Fineartguy]

They chickened out of too many things in this game His design is a reminder of that to me, and due to the lack of ql in his kit and stilted voice lines, I just dislike him. I hope they'll revisit this concept in the future it sucks that he turned out like this.

[@daddyhadrian]

am I using this video as research to make lingyang broken in my account? Yes, absolutely.

[@hinoka2911]

I love how people liked him because of his cute, optimistic and cool (than gaming) design when he first appeared and now just abandoned him like he isn't existed lol

[@chocobro3198]

I use him and I like him. His pants and shoes are super silly but other than that I adore his deign from the waist up.
