Oh I was so disappointed about Ganyu's personal damage. Heard so many about her broken charge shot and got laughable 80k.
But the thing you missed is what she also a good support. I used her as off-field cryo applicator against stupid beasts and hydro heralds. She literaly saved me 3 times in a raw
At first i thought Xiao s gameplay would be boring. But as soon as i tried him, i loved him. I hope i can C6 him one day !
Mono-cryo ganyu aint bad if you got shenhe and kaz 👌
All Liyue characters •_•
My issue nowadays is who to pair with my Xiao. There's the 2 choices: c6 Benny (because… benny) or C4 Jean. Before I had Faruzan, it was easy. Obviously it's Jean. She has the anemo particle generation (and to a lesser extent, the resonance) but now that Farizan is here, I genuinely couldn't tell you who is better for him, Jean or Bennett
Snoozetao: hp drain, pyro (flop element), annoying personality, c0 on mobile very painful
Cownyu: Takes like 10 years to get her CA done, carbon card personality, awful design
Xiao: FAD and useless. just horrible gameplay. C- for effort
Imagine not using mono cyro on unfreeze-able enemies
I never pulled Ganyu because I realised that she'd eventually suck because of all the non freezeable enemies. If I ever do pull for her, it'll be for her burst because that cryo aoe is massive.
She seems fun for speedrunning commisions though
Ganyu – trash
Hutao – trash, getting carried by yelan
Xiao – still investment depended
If you have C6 Faruzan, you probably have C0 Wanderer
Me who has C6 Faruzan with no Wanderer because I pulled for Itto's C2.
No way I'm pulling for Wanderer when I've been waiting for a Xiao buff for so long.
Hu Tao has always been good and with yelan Xingqiu double hydro core she’s my fastest clearing team atm
Xiao now having C6 Faruzan makes him a solid hyper carry
Ganyu… she’s cool I guess 💀
For freeze you’d rather use Ayaka and melt Ganyu is nothing special and can be outperformed by rev melt quickswap team of kayea rosaria Xiangling Bennett
Ganyu melt has been massively buffed with nahida by removing the energy issues from the team since every burn proc can allow you to melt 3 shots while being more comfortable
Wait…y'all play Morgan? I play Ganyu melt-
Out of the 3 characters only hutao never left my team in spiral abyss since 1.3.
I do invest for her C1 and Homa except for her artifacts her build is only 1.5. with yelan mona zhongli she's doing 150kCA 350kQ. with fountain hydro archon and shit am getting more excited who knows a second yelan might come or a better version of mona might come or a hydro shielder😆
I dont know bout everyone but hutao still kinda superior in single target boss fight
She dont have energy problem not like most unit nowadays with stupid 80 energy req
Yes XL is aoe bla bla but she ties to bennet + vape/melt hence she needs minimum 3 unit while hutao only need 1 XQ
I would go back to being a Xiao main if only Hoyoverse would enable him to generate energy on his e-skill in his burst. What a dumb kit design by hoyoverse. I even pulled a 2nd engulfing lightning for him to try and help with his energy issue. Wish hoyoverse would buff the underperforming characters sometimes. E.g xinyan, candace, sayu
Looking from abyss usage rate as a standard, it'd be Hu Tao > Ganyu > Xiao. Tbh, I never consider Xiao to be strong even at 1.X patch. He is okay but definitely not as broken like his main said. Ganyu is good when freeze was meta but drop a lot after that, still can be used in melt or as a burst support. Hu Tao on the other hand still going strong, she can compete with the new hyperbloom meta even at C0. Yes she has drop a bit due to hyperbloom being cheaper, but that doesn't mean she got weaker.
i was so bored playing traditional hutao
now i just slap her in every dendro team possible (w/ xingqiu ofc, they're married)
and you know what? it was fun. you don't even need to crit.
not everything is about floor 12..
I was a Hu Tao main, but lately I am playing her less because she is too strong for me to enjoy general contents, like i can even bypass some boss/mobs mechanics that i never knew exist, I wanna enjoy Genshin fully and experience all of the combat mechanics that boss and mobs have to offers, but whenever i am fighting against something hard though, this is where i pop ou my Hu tao team
One of Ganyu's main problems is unironically the lack of theorycrafting around her since a lot of people don't want to play as her in the CC sphere. To this day, people don't realize that even in the Xiangling version of the melt teams, Ganyu's burst usually doesn't steal melts if Gouba is put down before Ganyu takes the field.
8:06 I think its important to disclose that this speedrun was from abyss with a blessing that gave you buffs from losing HP which is why Xiao was doing so well (unless this is actually a different one then mb)
Still waiting for a Keqing comparison with them now.
I still, almost always, try my C0 Melt-Ganyu in all new releases of Floor12. Nowaday most of the time with Kazuha, but sometimes with Nahida too 😉 Having Shenhe allows me to also use her with Melt-Gear in Freeze play and that was even good enough for Weenut!. Having C0R1 Hu Tao with serious invest she still suxx hard, unless in single Target situation. Getting Xiao, I always dodged bcs. he suffers from weird mechanic (life-drain, energy, throwback enemies) and can't use reactions all that well either. I'd go so far and say my C6 Redhorn Noelle is more useful than me getting C0 Xiao w.o. decent 5star wp. And yes, I've got Itto which does 35% more Geo-dmg. Hoewver he proves to be less useful since I want Normals-atk in Hyperbloom Teams xD
I just got Dehya going for another constellation for Ganyu and it has renewed my interest in Burn Melt, It’s weird having so much interruption resistance on her but fun
This is no theory crafting. It’s just analysis on which unit requires least skill like every other content creator.
I also think that Hu Tao is overrated
XIAO ENERGY ISSUES IS A MYTH!!! I’ve mained him since 1.3 and as long as you use his skills before his burst you can get it back on cooldown easily.
4:37 does that yelan have cons?
