Eula’s history both in terms of character and gameplay may be the most tragic of any other unit in Genshin Impact. For today’s episode of Why NO ONE Plays, we’ll be investigating exactly what happened that made her this way.

People can't play her if mihoyo keeps her locked in the basement.
You cannot play that which does not exist.
A hot take perhaps, but as a Eula haver myself I disagree with the main reason put forth for Eula's low playrate in this video. While it is true that Eula's damage is no longer best in class, it is still sufficient to do the job. I believe that her low playrate stems not from a lack of raw damage but from her awkward and unwieldy kit.
Eula was designed to be a boss-killer. Her burst was meant to be used against enemies with extremely large health pools. The problem is that Hoyoverse has been leaning less on big HP pools in their boss designs and instead focusing on things such as requiring specific elements to break defenses or having extremely long invulnerable periods interspersed with tiny damage windows. The latter design hurts Eula in multiple ways as it is difficult to precisely time her burst to hit during the damage window AND it is hard to build up the energy for the burst in the first place if the boss is flying in the air, burrowing underground or teleporting all over the map. Let's not even get into how bosses tend to resist physical damage and the human enemies vulnerable to physical demand more CC and less damage.
Eula actually got a bit of a useability buff from the chicken boss and consecrated beasts. She handles them quite nicely. If Hoyo starts to design more bosses like chickens and beasts, and less like Wenuts and Thunder Manifestation I believe she can become relevant again.
Even when she does finally get her rerun, i kinda doubt that it will do super well. Physical damage and Geo just have not gotten enough love from Mihoyo, they are harder to play and less visually impressive without even having the reward of good damage. Both need buffs and or new stronger supports.
Simple: Eula is an unreleased character
Eula's also hurt by giving her the worst possible weapon for her gameplay style
Claymores have slow auto attacks with higher numbers, but Eula wants to build up stacks by attacking so she'd benefit more from a faster weapon, and claymores attacks all have the "blunt" attribute which triggers shatter on frozen enemies, which removes her ability to work in freeze. Can you even IMAGINE how much better Eula would be if she could equip blizzard strayer and solve her crit issues?
Honestly, at this point shattered should flat out be removed from the game in its current form. It's bar none the worst reaction in the game by an enormous margin. Even crystalize's effect is technically positive, if minuscule to the point of irrelevance. Shattered is actively detrimental, and a top reason why claymores and geo are the current worst performing weapon type and element at the moment.
Edit: Lol I paused the video and wrote this comment almost immediately before you said it yourself
For her rerun, make an event that gives a 4* weapons that in R5 has 100% to turn all damage of the character into cryo
She won't be op cause she wouldn't be able to use 5* weapons
Call it song of fixed pines
WHO!?
I am a Eula Main, even though I'm using Yelan rn for better movement.
BUT! Once a Eula Main, ALWAYS a Eula Main
Don’t let Tectone see this
The funny thing about the burst dealing Cryo damage idea is that it could make her viable with C6 Bennett
As you would constantly apply pyro while charging up the burst and then melt with it haha
But she's so hot man
Who?
She CAN take advantage of reactions! She can shatter! If you give her 1300 em her shatters will do like 10k damage…. which is less than 1 attack… and it only happens once every 3ish seconds…. soooooo….
They forgot about physical, and they even forgot about its one and only (potential) reaction.
Eula is getting a rerun alongside klee in 3.8
this man starts the video playing hyperfridge eula
this is a war declaration against eula mains bruh
I love that you made the joke that came to my mind when I read your title: "no one plays her because she is never in the banner"
I like your content, keep up the good work
I was gonna say to the video title, "Because no one has her??"
I'm an Eula main and love her BECAUSE she is phys dmg. I find it fun to walk up to an enemy without the need to switch characters and just bonk them in the head. I love dealing 1m dmg on a boss that doesn't even have enough hp to tank that. If they EVER changed her kit to deal "cryo dmg" like suggested in this video, I honestly would just quit genshin altogether for neglecting and ruining my favorite character.
Saving for character and weapon.. cause at this point next rerun (if it even really happens..) may be the last one we see … 😂😢 high hopes I can go for constellations but likely not..
