  1. I'm still interested in Gorou but I still wonder where to put him in my current Geo team.
    It just, I need to wait for him to came out so I can try and see if I can squeeze him in somewhere.

  2. People are also bitching about the new abyss being difficult and whatnot… 😀
    If nothing else gorou will enable defence scaling teams to be competetive… i think he will be the first actually usable new 4* character after diano

  3. A lot of people were saying Sayu was gonna be "Anemo Bennet" or that Thoma would be "Pyro Xingqiu", but they were wrong both times. I seriously doubt Mihoyo is actually going to release a support that good so early in the game's lifespan.

  4. I really like the idea that they're making 4 star units niche now, but I think Gorou might be the first time they've done it properly. So far, all the niche 4 stars they've been releasing have been niche but haven't excelled enough at their own specific niche to be worth using in most cases. Gorou, though? I can't imagine an Itto/Albedo or Noelle/Albedo team without him. He's looking to be REALLY good at his niche, and I think that's what's important.

  5. The Noelle disrespect……I’m personally hard skipping Itto as I do with all husbandos and based on our vivid dreams of Yunjin the most activity I’ll get out of the new “Geo Meta” is probabaly me trying to forcing Ning back into the Maindps role . Not saying she isn’t already in that role early game but late game she falls off .

  6. Dead weight for everybody who don't have Itto ot don't play with Noelle. Don't think dou with Albedo gonna be relevant.

    And other geo def character don't really want a lot of geo in team.

  7. from what ive seen, gorou looks vital for any team that scales off defence. his buffs to albedo and noelle during his hangout are no joke, plus he becomes a healer at c4. so yeah, he’s looking a lot like a geo bennett.

  8. Personally for me he's more like geo Sara just less klunky. Good for specific comps but outside of that niche not really useful at all.

    Those 4* expectations like pyro Xingqui for Thoma are just way over the top 😂.

  9. "You pulling for Itto?"
    Me: "No. I'm pulling for Geo Bennett"

    The moment leaks made me aware of his c4, I just wanted to pull him immediately. I don't think he's going to heal as much as Bennett but if it's slightly better than Diona… it's a big win for booster units.

    Yes. The niche team composition is real for that character. Very little options. But there's a popular quote that goes like this. "The best offence is a good defense". Probably why Beidou is still my favorite unit to this day.

    I was using a defense Qiqi at the beginning of the game. She was a damage sponge without shield or HP in the 30+k.

    I'm super hype for the next banner as Gorou seems to be a new unit with potential to boost unreleased units. I'll overlook reaction damage for raw damage any day. Same reason as to why I love Eula as well. She can do melts… but we all know her true potential is physical. Geo is a bump in the road, but if you go through it slowly, you'll rarely get problems.

    I see this as the unit that fixes a core problem in their game. Defense scaling characters. It's been over a year that I wanted to play Albedo. Using bad (ish) artifacts on him and now he's actually good. Combat synergy rotation is quick. I'm stoke.

  10. When I first saw gouro I had an interesting idea for him. His E and his charged shot would make a geo tower that he could stand on. And his q would blow it up and any crystallized shields it made.

    But as he is now, I have no real use for him. The last character that peaked my attention was raiden, but itto and gouro were interesting until I saw their kit

  11. I guess another issue with niches, is that often it requires people to build whole teams rather than just characters, like Thoma is only good with hu tao and yoimiya, so if you want to run him in a competent team you kind of have to build a hu tao or maybe a yoimiya. So for people pulling for itto and gorou, they'll essentially be forming an entirely new team which would be very expensive, if we add in albedo who reran to that you're building three new units who all the same artifact set.

  12. Big brain take here. Gorou shouldn’t exist. GEO BUFFS. Should exist. Even tho geo is cool they’re just not at the level multi reaction teams have. Maybe if he was released at the beginning of the game i’d be okay with him but no he’s a very dud unit. and geo is pretty much a dud element. With abyss getting harder and events getting harder i think we need more bennett, XQ, and XL type of four stars. like diaona. Units that stand on their own two feat and help support the team. not just pure support for like 5 characters in game

  13. Even if Gorou WASN’T niche to geo % dmg bonus and even if he DIDN’T have huge energy problems, he would be generally weaker than Bennet. Meanwhile Bennet heals and is a Mf’ing battery.

  14. im gonna main itto too….he is like the main buffer budget albedo.
    luckily i do have albedo and zhongli gonna boost itto's single dmg a lot 😀
    the KFC wing looks good on noelle. can they please add it in the genosis crystal shop pls?????

  15. I kinda wonder if we're sleeping on his burst damage potential since he can buff himself up along with his teamates and gives a 25% def boost on using burst in addition to the flat 350-400 def, though i don't know if the burst snapshots before that effect takes place or if it snap shots at all. Counting the extra damage mod from his second passive his burst has a total modifier of like 1099% def (initial burst damage+ 6 ticks of crystalcollapse). and his c2 can add up to 2 more ticks of crystal collapse.

  16. I'm aiming for c0 gorou for now because I'm close to pity and I need that for zhongli constellations, whenever zhonglirerun comes back(unless the summons decide to surprise me and ruin it with an itto -he's cool, but I don't want him right now). if I don't get him before pity, I'll just wait for next time. zhongli is most important to me.
    and I know he's good only for some geo units, but I'm still gonna summon. personally I felt he was good for zhongli in the hangout trial , I just spammed meteor on fatui(my zhongli has low recharge so I'm not sure what happened there), but i could be wrong. plus I like the design on gorou and his personality, which are most important to me when choosing who to summon for.

  17. If hes not geo bennet, you can make pyro gorou if you c6 bennet 😂 ill personally not make a full geo team, ill only use 2 geos and something else. I mostly do overworld content so he will be enough even with c0 and no full geo team

  18. How i look at gorou is, he opens up the possibility to run a geo goblet on itto , noelle and albedo cause of how much def% he's gonna provide . And nothing else , for anything else he less useful than even amber.

  19. There should be an limit to people’s expectation when it comes to elements other than pyro, cryo, anemo, and hydro. Geo funtions differently so expect the characters there to work differently, don’t expect vaporize or melt when the only reaction geo can offer is crystallize. I honestly care about damage as well but im not a meta person, as i only pull for characters i want, but expecting every four star to function the way bennett or xingqiu does is ridiculous. Honestly, at the end of the day people will still talk, if a character is different they will complain but when they’re too similar to a character that is already released they will still complain. Sooooo yep, pointless, pull for whoever you want guys, less disappointment that way.

  20. Gorou is a good boi. many pats he shall receive when he is here. I also like to build many teams and he will be very gud for my wip noelle team. I can already clear abyss, there's no point in meta anymore even tho I am strong believer of meta.

  21. if hes geo bennett heck yea i mean its good in a way for a nother support thats like bennett that would be amazing if he was and i for sure love his playstyle myself

  22. I don't think we'll ever get 4 Star Units as universally applicable as Bennett, Xingxiu, Diona, Sucrose, and I'll say to a lesser extent Noelle(Yeah I said it!) Most of the other 4 Stars showing up for support support a specific niche or need a lot of constellations to get going whereas most of the 4 Stars mentioned can be pretty useful at constellation 0 and just become more insane with additional constellations(Except for Noelle. I know.).

  23. I'm half expecting Gorou to come out and turn into a second Kujou Sara where Bennett is just better unless you have a full C6, level 90 and maxed talents.
    But I haven't looked that deep into the math cause I really don't care about Gorou or Itto, so maybe that 300-400 Def and 15% Geo dmg will still beat 1000-1200 more attack

  24. I’ve been lucky with winning the 50-50s lately, so I expect to lose when wishing for Itto. I want as many Gorou constellations and it’ll really suck if I don’t get any since I want my Geo family complete.
