  1. Hey Vars do you think you should do a video for Mika. Not only is the spear from the potions event likely his signature weapon but he had a weird history of appearing to be the dedicated phys damage support but ended up being mostly a healer with a unique atk speed buff

  2. Dehya always felt like she was a victim of hype, just as much as what Hoyo did to her.

    Players assumed she'd be an awesome main dps, and when that didn't happen they wrote her off immediately. Hoyo certainly didn't help this matter either, with all the questionable choices regarding her kit. She 'can' be a good support unit, but most people don't want to put in the effort to make her so.

    Or they run with Spiral Abyss regularly. Either/or.

  3. I've always advocated that I think Deyha should be more tanky rather than deal more dmg. I'd like to see her dmg absorption cap at 80% rather than 50%, buff her self healing. If you're saying every character needs their niche than make hers the non shielding shielder. It would only make her viable if Hoyo actually continued to punish Shields like they tried at one point

  4. Hoyotrash described in a nutshell with how they handled these characters. I play almost all of them because I generally just play whoever the heck I want since the game is easy in a general sense only. I'm very surprised that you didn't mention Dori in this video with how underwhelming she is with her crappy slow threw hit combo and weak elemental skill.

  5. i swear fuxuan is what dehya should have been if they focused more on her defensive capabilities. I.E with some Buffing, Healing that's not just to herself and better mitigation. Her Burst, Weapons and Cons make no sense like their all dps focused and she's not even a good dps unit until cons.I swear if it had defensive utility i would have taken it. Her E's defensive utility is pretty deceptive though if played as a sole defensive option unless if you play neuvillette in hyperbloom or burnvape and Lyney mono Pyro and Ganyu Burnmelt since the latter two teams uses bennett. since it feels like you doubled your health but you gotta remember you're still taking damage and she heals only herself, so what about the next rotation when your health is low? oh yeah i forgot how her IR and Uptime issues as well..

    Burgeon stinks if you don't use her on field. Off field yeah she doesn't need er compared to Thoma, XL and Kazuha, but the slow app hurts when there's too many cores around and then there's the hitbox issues against tall enemies. for on field, she needs some er and her particle generation is kinda dogsh*t and you can use Yanfei or Klee for that.

  6. I know they’ll never simply buff a character, but it would be amazing if they added a way to “awaken” a character. That way they can make older units have an expanded role.

  7. Freminet is very well-designed though. As much as we like to build our old DPS like Keqing on physical damage, it's almost always unoptimal or even unviable compared to elemental damage. Freminet, on the other hand, is literally built for that kind of build flexibility, making both elemental and physical builds viable, but he does suffer from 4* multipliers (which again plagues almost every 4* so I think that's a moot point). There is no way Freminet is on the same list as Dehya.

  8. Isnt it crazy we dont have another pyro sword?? Literally its only bennett from launch and thats it. Its like one of the most common archetypes in games and yet we’ve gotten 4 pyro claymores and 4 pyro polearms before getting a 2nd pyro sword

  9. 2 years since dehya debuted alongside candice and they never get a buff… FU hoe-yoverse/mihoe-yo… your plans for this game vexes me… but yeah, hope you go down alongside ZZZ… your games are made for pron anyways

  10. About Dehya, Hydro Traveller and other bad units, they're made bad on purpose. If every single character in the game was good, it would be like Syndrome says: "And when everyone is a hero, no one will be". So they make bad characters, so the actual good ones stands out. Highlight by constrast, so to speak.

    It sucks, I know, but it makes sense.

  11. They should at bare minimum "buff" qiqi by increasing her basic attack range or shrinking her clipping box. I was actually fine with her as she was. She's a healer that lets your dps heal themselves while just wailing on the enemy without needing to wait for a cooldown, her basic attacks apply the healing mark. Her biggest problem was that her sword is so tiny and her clipping box is so big that on some large enemies she can't even hit them while rubbing her face against their clipping box. You get as close as possible, swing, hit them once and both clipping boxes clash and push you out of range for the second swing. So you end up missing at least half her basic attacks despite being as close as you possibly can be.

  12. Sick of people saying Dehya is bad just because her BURST isn't considered normal attacks. She isn't bad just because she doesn't work with your over tuned meta slaved 4 star "sub" DPS. Run Dehya with burgeon. She's a Sumeru pyro unit. Sumeru added playable dendro. Use her in dendro based teams. She's super good for nuking a bunch on dendro cores at once and since she practically can't die, the core explosions do nothing against her. Dehya is not Diluc 2.0 just because she has a claymore and is pyro. Is Arlechinno going to be compared to Hu Tao just because they're both pyro polearms users?

  13. God i wish dehya just had SOMETHING substantial post-release. An artifact set better than emblem, a slight buff, a new character that gives her a good reason to be used over other pyro units in terms of dps or zhongi in terms of defense. Im holding out hope natlan does something, but those hopes ain't high

  14. Hoyo decided to be a gacha game company, that's what went wrong, everything else is only a consequence of that, including the useless and underpowered and unfun characters, refusing to listen to feedback from testers and players, and refusing to fix mistakes that could easily be fixed by an update.
