Klee was my first five star, I got her early in the game because I LOVED her character. But because she’s been my main dps for so long, I am so used to her slower play style with more numbers, that I find it hard to use a lot of other characters, especially sword users. The only sword user I have built is Bennett, and that was only because everyone loves him. I’ve adapted to the knock back and struggle when enemies are consistently close to me, because I use the knock back as a way to dodge (squishy Klee) and to push enemies to where I want them, and then ult.

[@torinrin1602]

klee has also been my main dps ever since i got her and i REALLY disliked sword users playstyle too, they felt so weird to use

[@saihara5369]

SAME LMAO I understand that going after enemies can be real hard with how much stamina she needs (i treally is hard sometimes), but it also helps me a lot when klee is in trouble and abt to take a massive hit

[@virtualfaust]

I used to main Klee. But everything change after I pulled Shenhe and Ayaka with Misplitter

[@Zedrinbot]

The biggest reason I stopped using Klee regularly: a lot of the short-range and stamina mechanics can be played around (I got good at jump canceling charges and step canceling autos), but a lot of the new enemies have dash attacks that go well out of your range that you can't compensate for at all, and it looks like this is going to be a staple for enemy design from now on. She has some encounters where she really shines, like the multiple ruin construct boss, but it feels like everything just runs away from you at the drop of a hat now. Even Childe tended to spam dashes when I fought him with Klee. (Which even happens at 1:08.) Generally character changes won't happen, so I try to think about what kind of unit would enable others better, as well as enemy mechanics. Anything that could CC or prevent units from moving back would help a lot. Sucrose is great for stuff like this, but doesn't cluster units close enough for klee to reliably hit them. If they also made it so knockback depended on the way you were facing instead of just away from you, it'd prevent enemies from being scattered as bad with a charge attack.

[@jonhmata]

That's my main gripes with every new single enemy update mihoyo has been making: -they create a new character meta ( Zhong li shield meta for example). -then they create a enemy that needs you to use that meta ( Geovishap, Azdaha, etc) -New update new characters meta -and now new enemies that simply ignore the previous meta ( stupid wolfies). At the end of the day the only thing that survives is the same overpowered 4 stars characters that we had since the beginning. IDK sometimes this design update just makes me a little tired, specially with how many caveats every new single char has.

Wow, I already knew you're a Genshin player months ago but i didn't expect you play Klee regularly. Since you did stop playing Klee regularly, do you think Yanfei is a good alternative or she's worse? I found enjoying her more than Klee because of range coverage and playing her with Mona and Ei made her more satisfying. Granted, I don't have klee but ever since i saw her problems immediately at her first banner run on her trial stage, I didn't roll for her despite being a loveable character.

[@GeorgeMonet]

In other words, ruined by bad game design.

[@vacuumcleaner2415]

So I had Klee when she first came out and I completely agree. Klee is just mechanically difficult to play. Learning how to animation cancel and having to manage your stamina to charge attack while dashing away from enemies when they’re too close can be a struggle to some. Also having one of the lowest hp in the game doesn’t help. If you want Klee I highly recommend having a shield to make her easier to play. To how I would change her, it would be her range and burst. Her range can be better, maybe 5-10 meters more. And I agree with you on how the burst should stay up even when swapping out. That would mean her c4 should get a rework. idk my opinion

[@scotttempest8857]

i get that- i love her personality + character design/animation- but that’s not what makes her unenjoyable to play for so many people. her attack animations are clunky and slow to deal damage, her range is very small for a catalyst user, and it’s pretty annoying (at least for me) to be forced to animation cancel over and over to get the smooth results i expect out of the gameplay and characters- uninterrupted by anything other than enemies in game. personally, it really takes away from the experience when i have to constantly focus on unnecessarily precise timing with klee instead of just having fun.

[@mrmr9284]

So as someone who has had Klee since her initial rerun, I will say that she has issues. She’s very squishy, she can only do pyro dmg, and she has somewhat mediocre range. However, most of this can be made up, especially since Klee isn’t gonna be the only character in your party. Klee’s passive makes it so she doesn’t consume stamina for her charge attacks whenever she gets a clover, and her cancels can make it so she can not only attack, but also move at the same time. In terms of teammates, Raiden, Kazuha, Zhongli, Albedo, and Xingqiu, and a few others can work wonders with Klee. Raiden’s Skill means Klee’s burst gets an extra overloaded hit every time you aren’t on cool down, Kazuha provides and elemental dmg bonus by swirling the bombs, Zhongli is just a good shield, and Xingqiu helps with vaporize when Klee uses her normals. I think the main issue of why people play Klee less is because of the fact that Hu Tao exists. Hu Tao not only can do way more dmg, but also has the edition of being able to do phys, which means unlike Klee who can’t dmg the pyro hypostasis Hu Tao can. Honestly it’s just a matter dmg and good team set up. Also Klee’s cancels are super easy to learn, and once you learn it for her, you can basically do it for every character that needs it, also Klee mostly uses walk cancels not jump or sprint cancels. Also the only truly bad thing about Klee is her splash art, like give her a better one, it’s literally a 4 Star’s

[@byeguyssry]

As someone with Klee, I have to say...she's an absolute joy to play with. She is a lot of fun once you get used to how she plays and that's part of the problem. If you can get her early game, that will get you used to her strengths and limitations. But if you get her after reaching a high AR, it can be frustrating to try to learn her and most end up ditching her for someone easier to use immediately off the bat. She is definitely someone who benefits from the right support and definitely not someone you use by herself (despite her lore suggesting her being able to take down a certain tanky world boss all by herself). She's fine as is as any tweaks to her could easily put her into "broken" territory. All that said, everything mentioned in the video are valid complaints and anyone interested in rolling for her in any future banners should carefully consider their own gaming abilities before rolling for her.

[@SeresHotes25]

Klee was my first 5-star and my main dps for 3 months. I was using her from AR 20 to AR 50. At start she was fun to play. Silly hilichurls just run to you, do nothing for a while and get obliterated by Klee charged attacks. You can cancel her CA animation by her CA! Basically, you can achive almonst the same attack speed as her normal attacks! But later enemies became smarter. You can't stay at one place and hold/release one button to CA. Now you have to run to enemies. There were geo wheels which run everywhere. Then there was Childe, who jumps from place to place. And now there is Inazuma, where every enemy jumps around and you have to run to them and try to charge attack them 2 times before they jump to different location, because you have to wait 1 whole second before charged attack is applied. It was pain. I pulled for Hutao this october. Now I'm happy

[@bubbag02]

@@SeresHotes25 I overcome this by pairing Klee with Keqing. Enemy steps back, Keqing's skill followed by Klee auto/CA.

So true. My first 5 star was klee. she is small and because of that she doesn't cover alot of ground. her attack range is med and her charge is unfortunately short. but makes senses since its a beam, and a straight shot could miss, and closer range makes it easier to calculate charge attack. Personally she is still amazing to play, and with Raiden, Zhongli and Kokomi, she is damage overload and invincible. All Catalysts are hard to play mind you. Kokomi, Yanfei and Ning have auto locked projectiles the others just auto splash. Klee's the only one you need to really aim and get close with but thats the charm of her. Only gripe I have is burst ends when she is switched out. Would be great if she could keep it on the field. Especially when I do Kokomi burst, that vaporise damage would be great. Along with Overlord for Raiden Burst.

As a Klee main, I think Klee is a good character and fun to play. And for me she does tons of damage, for example whenever I do her charged attack it does 20k or a bit more dmg without cryo or hydro.

klee works really well with the og geo duo (albedo & zhongli) as they cover her biggest weaknesses, range and defence. Everyone knows albedo's flower is nigh useless, but klee is likely the first and most important character to step on the flower. People don't know this but klee's range is literally tied to how high she is, the higher she is the further she throws, charged attack as well.

[@typerys3612]

In my opinion the thing holding Klee back from being a top tier main dps is the fact that she is a child character and she depends on her charged attack to deal dmg and the reason why this is bad is because child characters use up more stamina and Klee charged attack uses 50 stamina, and her ultimate isn't that useful compared to others and the passive where she doesn't use stamina in her charged is good but I wish it was more noticeable since its just a tiny flower and if you have your ultimate on it is even harder to see if the passive is on and you also have to time her basic atk perfectly to deal the most dmg Sorry my English is not that good And I'm not hating on klee she is my first 5 star

as a klee main none of the problem on the video were important, like not being able to do more than 4 charged atk? klee can delete the charged atk stamina consumption, the only MAIN problem that should be solved is she being small, how is that possible, a character which attacks are mainly bassed on charged being low ranged and also a small unit, why?

Cancelling through dodge (!), stamina doesn't run out as quickly if I just don't always cancel or use her skill in between and when it runs out I switch to a different character, preferably Kazuha who can then deal loads of damage pulling all enemies back together including all the bombs on the floor. Meanwhile stamina recovers. After that, the other two characters can maybe also put out their skills, whichever they are and Klee is good to go again with loads of stamina.

I tried hard to get into Klee's playstyle since she was my second ever 5 star (I wasn't pulling for her but eh). But the way her normal and charged attacks worked drove me crazy. The lock on seemed to rarely work correctly and it was immensely slow. At the time, my only other catalyst user was Lisa, so I had initially thought all catalyst users would have at least similar range. Klee proved that assumption very, very wrong. Then there's the stamina issues, the inherent slowness of "tiny" characters, and my admittedly general dislike of children characters in the first place (Kind of hilarious really. The *only* "child" character I wanted was Diona, and Mihoyo saw it fit to give me literally all of them. sigh) Yes, she had the damage output, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get around all the downsides. She just didn't fit my playstyle. Of course, the second I heard Yanfei was coming, I immediately hopped on her bandwagon. I enjoy her playstyle *ALOT* more. She's my go-to ranged pyro specialist.

If a character is difficult to use, you expect to get a great reward for doing so; So if that reward isn't there, people are gonna try out other characters. She's a character that needs help (all characters do to some degree) but she doesn't have a sub-dps or support that can hold her hand and make her shine the way she deserves. I'd love to see a sub-dps that can apply their effects on every single Klee 'Sparks 'n Splash' attack, or if they let elemental reactions proc more often but deal less damage, to help out characters that are based around these 'death by a thousand cuts' kind of dps. This also applies to Ayaka; No one specifically focuses on her her auto-attacks for damage. Her burst is what people focus on, because the small and flittering attacks don't melt fast enough. She's not underutilized because she's a bad character. Neither is Keqing.

Her biggest issue is no doubt the combination of her puny range, bad animations (feel similar to the alternative dash for those that know) and how squishy she is, if 1 or 2 of these didn't exist, she'd feel much better to play and less like you're fighting the game engine.

Agreed, except I use Klee with Benny, Xiangling, and Kazuha. Investing into a monoteam means you can opt for damage-focused artifacts + weapons across the board because the energy regeneration is so great. Benny's E + Klee's two charges of E and charged attack battery from ascension talent generates so much pyro energy. Also, because there isn't a need to set up reactions, it's super easy to play being forgivable with rotations and less downtime if you screw up any rotations. Additionally, because Klee's ult can snapshot, you can get huge gains from Benny ult and Widsith. What's needed to play this comp optimally is: 1) Have Kazuha swirl pyro, 2) Have enough energy to ult off cooldown, and 3) Snapshot XL and Klee's ults. The team may not have the highest damage ceiling, but has a comfortably high damage floor that's more than enough to 9* abyss 12 (kazuha makes it more meta as well)

What happened to her exactly happened to Herrscher of the Void in Honkai Impact. When Klee came out there weren’t any OP choices like Ganyu, Hu Tao, Itto, Childe or anything like them. So Klee was automatically the strongest option, which was in the case of Honkai since there are no other Overpowered Valkyries aside from HoV. So as soon as more fleshed-out and new characters joined in the fray, the slowly they got dethroned. Back in the old day when I wasn’t a Honkai player HoV was fucking everywhere, just as Klee in Genshin, she was the talk of the town.

[@rr_r_rb]

There was some Abyss rotations that still encourage player to play HoV. But yea, she's kinda out of meta for years now. Still very useful for fast clearing easy stages I guess.

[@mukiex4413]

As the caretaker of a C4 Klee, I appreciate these videos. This is like the fifth one I've seen in your series, and I love that they're less "this character is suboptimal in the meta", and more "this character is suboptimal to the desires of players".

12:56 this has been a problem for quite some time. A lot of people call new units garbage, one month later they realize that particular unit is actually really strong, and then they proceed to want a rerun of that character. Tbh, I don't even know why such thing occurs in the first place and when it begun, but it's quite disturbing.

[@ssykage]

Klee is extremely good, she can easily full clear abyss at C0 and some people solo full clear with her at C0. When it comes to her range it’s completely fine, her autos probably have 50% or more range than a standard claymore swing and her charge attacks have a bigger horizontal hit box than the circle shows. It also makes sense she doesn’t have crazy range cuz she’s so little and manually throws her bombs. Bad user experience?? I feel like If you’re not playing on mobile this is not the case at all. It’s a 4 but mostly 3 button game, If you don’t know how to animation cancel for sure she’s super clunky ( like most other characters ) but once you learn them which takes maybe 10 minutes, if you’ve never played a game before in your life maybe it’ll take you a day. All off her “bad user experiences” go away. You also don’t have to sprint cancel her autos you just hold forward which costs no stamina. In klees case you can basically attack and jump at the same time with her charge attack. Once you summon her charge attack you can jump and move freely before the attack even fires. The timing is also not strict, once it summons you jump. I’m pretty confident my mom could press attack, hold attack then jump. The knock back on her charge attack is a part of what makes klee so good. And no you don’t have to waste stamina to chase them down, you just walk towards them and you’re easily in range before/while they’re getting up. Which also allows you to infinitely stun lock even large enemies, something only klee can do. Body type doesn’t matter cuz like I said you can just walk. I’m not sure what you mean by she can’t auto cancel her charge attacks? I think ur trying to say she has to dash cancel which uses stamina and that’s why she can only do 2 charge attacks? But like I said before she can easily jump cancel out of them at no stamina cost. You’re right she is a glass cannon, thankfully you can’t get hit when you’re infinitely stun locking enemies. Dozen of smaller hits and heavy pyro application does not limit her effectiveness in terms of fulfilling her role as a main dps. She’s so good she doesn’t even need reactions as her best team is mono pyro, which is also F2P friendly with a core of klee, xiangling and Bennett with an anemo flex. The margin for error is not too high like I said 4 but mostly 3 button game my mom could learn. She batteries her best team allowing them to need much less energy recharge than typical, which allows them to invest those stats into more damage. I’m not even gunna talk about her constellations because they are completely unnecessary, like I said people solo clear abyss with her at C0. There’s enough time to knock an enemy down, walk forward, use jumpty dumpty then charge attack again to infinitely stun lock. You also didn’t mention one of her passive talents that allows her to get an explosive spark every 4 seconds which makes her next charge attack cost 0 stamina and do 50% more damage. This response is centred around the spiral abyss as it’s the only somewhat hard content in the game. I just feel like klee is very misunderstood, she’s by far my favourite character and I keep hearing people say it’s hard to play her. Which I guess if you compare her to other characters she can be harder than them, but that’s just because genshin is such an easy game. That doesn’t mean klee is actually hard to play. Being able to be so interactive with her combat is another reason why she’s so great, but if you don’t want to do that she still kicks ass with the standard animation cancels used by all characters.

[@evanmaxentia7128]

Despite all the thing people said about her, she's still my favorite character from the beginning time playing this game and still up untill today. I can't denied that playing her was not easy but once you've get used to her play style you can't denied the fact that she's BUSTED 🔥🔥🔥

[@toyedgold8346]

The way I can see MHY fixing Klee issue (she is my main btw) is to add character that synergies with her like off-field hydro or cyro dmg in bulk (Hydro or Cyro Xiangling if possible) because no one can apply pyro as fast as she does. Kaeya and Rosaria work well with her but Kaeya ult has ICD so it's not ideal

[@somerandomguy6249]

But what you suggest isn't fixing what is wrong with the character(klee) because if you add another support character where klee could benefit, do remember so does the other pyro dps characters which makes it completely useless for klee

[@xLuis89x]

[@Awildkarasunonumber10appears]

I really wish klee's sparks and splash stayed active when she's switched out. I think this alone would bring up her usability from like a 5 to a 50😪

[@dapes-]

I think Klee having so much knockback isn't a bad thing. She's throwing bombs, I expect enemies to go flying everywhere. It's not necessarily that harmful to her either, since she can cancel her charged attack into a jump forward since she's the only current catalyst that can cancel her charged attack. It also staggers enemies so much that she can usually constantly throw big enemies like Lawachurls and prevent them from attacking. I'd say her main issue is klunkiness. She has a low range and is too squishy for her own good, meaning she kinda desperately needs shield support. You need to constantly cancel every animation, while all of them are cancellable, they are all also very long. Her damage is also only comparable to Diluc when you're playing her optimally, which is much harder than with other characters. She would also be an ideal candidate for an overload DPS since her staggers + overload's staggers would mean the enemies don't ever get to attack, but overload is currently the worst reaction after crystallize. If they were to fix Klee, which they won't, the best solutions in my opinion would be keeping her burst active after swapping out, giving her a bit more range on her autoattacks in some way and making overload better. Her animations being so long but being cancellable is part of her essence now, and changing that would eliminate one of the more fun parts of her kit.

[@La4geas]

Auto-attack cancelling still has a punishing window though, if you cancel too early, it will consume the charged attack passive/stamina and not deal any damage.

[@karo3686]

I just want her burst to stay on the field. She would be a top tier support!

[@timothycontoveros4699]

Btw, Genshin elemental reactions have an internal cooldown where elements can only be applied and reacted every so often. I think generally it’s 2.5 seconds. So no amount of incredibly fast hydro application could allow Klee to vaporize all her damage. Some characters do have abilities with no internal cooldown, such as Hu Tao’s charged attack, so if Klee had something like that it would help- maybe each of her bombs could always apply pyro?

[@rajamrifqi5764]

I play Klee purely because she's adorable. I was immediately interested from her trailer. Her events in the archipelago were so good.

[@dianapiana]

I have Klee since her first banner, she's my most used character and my only 5 star main dps (I got Itto so now I have two). I love her so much, even though she is kinda hard and clunky to play it's still fun and satisfying

[@SangKi23]

I’m a dedicated klee main since her rerun because i really love her character. She’s still viable in abyss since i can still 36* with her, it all comes back to depends on team building. But this is possible since i really invest in her. Her jump cancels are better in practice since you can hop around so you save stamina and have more mobility. Her lack in range is sort of ‘solved’ in her burst mode. Her ‘nuke’ is more on her CA rather than her skill or burst like other characters. But i do have to agree with every point that you point out. Every time my friend asks ‘should i raise/main klee?’ My automatic answer was “are you willing to optimize her animation cancels and stamina management?” Because (imo) she’s the hardest character to master technical wise. I’m a controller player so i can pretty much execute her animation cancelling easier than mobile players. I still wholly believe that you can play anyone however you like even in abyss, but you have to be willing to master the character you play. Klee is a ‘good’ choice for those who wants more challenging gameplay in terms of techniques, but a bad choice for someone who wants an easy character.

[@Ray-mf8vy]

Even though she has some clear disadvantages she'll always be that cute little chaotic bean that we all love, she's also a very fun character to play as... Sure she takes a bit more effort to deal a lot of damage, but I'll always have a space for her in my heart ♥️ She's the first 5 star character I got and I've always wanted her so I went absolutely bonkers when I got her xD

Klee doesn't apply pyro that fast. She just has icd on every second auto attack like every catalyst user. Can be best seen on Sucrose how it works.

[@pmendoza]

Thank you so much for this video! It was very illustrative and well made. I use Klee as my main dps and I was not aware of some of the downsides you kindly pointed out. I guess I just get used to it and love her anyways 😅

[@pikamatt6683]

Okay so here's my review on klee after using her since her rerun. First she is my favorite character in the game. Second after learning animation cancel (in a day or two, it's pretty easy to get used to) she feels pretty good to play. Also one of the teams she shines the most is mono pyro and I can say that no one dares to stand in her way. In my opinion for her to be a really good unit you need to put dedication in her and with the right build and the right team, you will be able to make something out of her. She is currently my first and only level 90 character and as of now she is my strongest character even though I have hu tao and eula, klee is the character I dedicated myself to the most and I will do anything to upgrade her. She will not be for everyone but if you have her I'd recommend you to give her a try.

[@noejrs]

for me she shines the most with Bennet, Albedo, Zhongli.

[@pikamatt6683]

@@noejrs well after using her with Bennett, venti, and xiangling she could do some 54k charged and 14k basics but I think the best team should be kazuha, bennett and zhongli.

[@karu5101]

As of now she really doesn't have a good team to work with, her best team hypothetically would be a reverse melt team because of how fast she can apply pyro where other characters that can do off-field damage can take advantage of it. So her role is actually more of like an on-field enabler like another certain childe rather than a main dps. Although, it should still be possible for her to fill the role of a main dps albeit she'll get really inconsistent damage with someone like Xingqiu until we get someone that can apply hydro faster than her, which kind of sounds like copium. Rosaria and Kaeya come to mind but I haven't really gotten both units up to test them out and give an explanation on the their advantages and disadvantages. There is also this one KQM guide that covers almost everything about Klee: keqingmains.com/klee/

[@joshsolders5543]

I think Dendro's introduction requires a revisiting of this video. The properties that made her unusable as a DPS in the past makes her an amazing Burgeon trigger. And since level and EM are the only important factors for damage, her mini bombs cause the same damage as her main bomb. A lot of things that usually matter don't for Burgeon. If anything, her mini bombs are a bonus because you can control later pyro applications and have enemies or cores set them off without you needing to. I find her easier to use than other preferred options like Xiangling or Thoma. Especially since Xiangling's buffs don't do much here and only she needs to devote stats to ER unlike Klee.

[@MMkeyzz]

IKR he came from super meta back then to underrated now because everyone just being Hu Tao bandwagon (i don't mean to hate Hu Tao but i'm 100% sure there are a lot of them) I'm not maining Diluc myself but I have played him in my friend's account and he is still super powerful unlike what other people said he got powercrept so much, I mean his ult LITERALLY COST 40 ENERGY which leads to spammable ult, and have large AoE which is super important for meta players, and he is also pretty simple and yet fun to use which is great because I myself prefers fun chars over game breaking meta chars.

[@penguinxrock]

@@MMkeyzz i think diluc's one problem is that he doesn't have a weapon tailor-made for him like hu tao & homa (and the ONE crit dmg 5* claymore is based on DEF). but he seems like a great generalist character that is available at any time, as long as you can get him (basically, not limited). he might see a rise in usage after we get another 5* crit claymore.

You can animation cancel by holding forward and using normal attacks in between. Klee can throw almost two bombs per second this way

[@puna1242]

Personally, I like the animation cancelling and such with Klee. It's very much a matter of taste, as I like more tech heavy characters. Like Beidou's parry, for example (it's not exactly an equivalent, but still). I even 36*'d abyss with her finally in a Klee - Rosaria - Kaeya - Benny team. I could finally bench Ganyu after many months. She definitely has her flaws though. But isn't Sparks n' Splash completely autoattack separate from what Klee is doing?
