With agents that are highly dependent on buff runtime or special ressource, I wish hoyo would implement a better UI that make it easier to track buffs / debuffs. Centered / size configurable options, pls.
If Miyabi is anomaly, then we will likely see the first team where Caesar is not BiS (burnice/miyabi/lighter). Depending on how much synergy lycaon and koleda have with lighter's engine, they might both be better than caesar with lighter's engine.
Ultimately what I want to know is Miyabi's synergy with Yanagi. That's the deciding factor for me. I'm hoping we get drip marketing for Miyabi (meaning she's next patch) and then maaaaybe intel on her before Yanagi banner ends. If I'm going to pull for Yanagi, it's because of Miyabi synergy potential. Not Burnice, not Jane, not Piper or whoever else.
From a meta-marketing/game design perspective, I can't see Miyabi being an off-field unit. Whether Yanagi x Miyabi can coexist as mutual quick-swap units remains to be seen, fingers crossed that they work well together, but either way, I'm pulling for both.
Stunners are fine imo, bonus points if it's a great "anomaly" stunner. Because right now, Hoyo is pushing Anomaly Meta so hard and there's close to no reason for running a stunner instead of a support unit. But yeah, I was expecting Lighter to be a DPS ever since his first appearance on the trailer. Some people saw my first impression video as doomposting, but I personally don't like how new characters are being introduced in the game. 3 Patches back to back with Anomaly Units, and so far, if you skipped 1.0 then you're probably lacking standard DPS/Attack units. At least the A-Rank options are still solid for the current state of the game. Guess they're not ramping up the difficulty of the end-game content because of all these issues on the rooster, idk
@@okMuzzy I think that right now Stunners and Attack units are chained to each other (somewhat detrimentally), because the Stun Damage Multiplier is too good to leave out of Attack unit comps. Supporters are much more universal because they generally don't require much field time, and they work with both Attack and Anomaly units. Lighter is interesting because he buffs Fire x Ice Disorder comps (even if Disorder damage itself is untyped), and ppl are saying he's a quick swap unit, so we might be seeing him used more as a pseudo-supporter/buffer than a pure Stunner. As for the current Anomaly meta, I think it's much more balanced and fun to play than launch/1.1. Ellen is always fighting for field time because her crit rate buffs require her to be on field, but she loses out on Stun Damage Multiplier if Lycaon isn't being used *and* Soukaku eats too much time for her buffs. Meanwhile, the best way to use Zhu Yuan is to not use her at all. -_-. Instead, you want to stack SDM on Qing Yi, Debuff with Nicole, and only use ZY for burst EX, Suppressive Shot and Ult. They need to find a way to make Attack units coexist with the roster, and the current units aren't quite there.
Everyone keeps saying that Yanagi does not play with Jane My hot take is that she actually does! Is Jane as good as Burnice? F no... But still better than alternatives With Ex special yanagi procs these polarity disorders which are like mini disorders But for big damage she needs another anomaly to be applied for a proper disorder, so she needs someone to set that up So Burnice is best because, cuz she does anomaly even off-field Grace is also shock so she is no help Piper is okay, but she needs Cinema to inflict anomaly quick enough That leaves Jane
It's still better than going for disc craft, since it's around 25 -> 1 assuming you get 1 Gold disk every 5 crafts. Now I don't think hoyo is going to refund discs but damn I already spent all my Purple Discs lol

I've been pulling for every anomaly unit, but since I have a well built M1 Grace, and hearing about lack of synergy with Jane, I guess I have to skip.
Same + im broke
My Lycon about to rock Lighter's W-engine. 😂

Now we will be 14 S rank against 10 A Ranks. A obscure day for Free2play player's.
So strange they aren't releasing just standard DPS units, we REALLY didn't need another stunner... they aren't even that useful in many teams

Lighter please come home🙏
Everyone keeps saying that Yanagi does not play with Jane
My hot take is that she actually does!
Is Jane as good as Burnice? F no... But still better than alternatives
With Ex special yanagi procs these polarity disorders which are like mini disorders
But for big damage she needs another anomaly to be applied for a proper disorder, so she needs someone to set that up
So Burnice is best because, cuz she does anomaly even off-field
Grace is also shock so she is no help
Piper is okay, but she needs Cinema to inflict anomaly quick enough
That leaves Jane
@@TheRetrotom Oh, these are some really interesting takes on Yanagi, but then Energy could be a huge issue on her 👀
Why compare Jane to Burnice. They're both dmg juggernauts, and Jane's gotta me through the toughest of challenges known to man.
Craft disk drive 5->1 hmmm
It's still better than going for disc craft, since it's around 25 -> 1 assuming you get 1 Gold disk every 5 crafts.
Now I don't think hoyo is going to refund discs but damn I already spent all my Purple Discs lol
im hard
