Everybody fav dps will say that. It's just a way to power creep. No he wasn't a mistake, yeah she is overtuned he wasn't a mistake. Can't wait when the new dps will power creep neuvillette just as he did to other characters. Then neuv mains will cry. And when sneznya comes along he the previous top dps will be power crept making everybody else more and more useless.
My real issue with Mualani isn't even the unit herself, it's that she contributes to the issue of Hydro being an insanely ridiculously overtuned element, it is without question the best element in the game and it's not even remotely close, it has a unit that can do what every other element's main gimmick is either nearly as well or even better than it. Like remember how Geo's only merit is that it's a very self reliant and insular elemtn that doesn't need reactions to work? Well now Mono Hydro absolutely beats its ass in that regard. And remember how pyro is supposed to be the dps focused element? Well aside from Arlecchino it's only a bit competitive with Hydro in that regard now
Well, it has no shielder or grouper, but your point stands. Arguably, you can say the same thing about pyro now, especially with chevreuse added to the Bennett, xiangling pile
@@Bliss467almost every hydro unit is amazing xinqiu yelan furina neuv mualani kokomi nilou etc they are quite literally destined for success even sigewinne isn’t as bad due to her element
Thank you for opening our eyes with your insightful and astute observation, I'm sure many of us couldn't guess neuvi is bad against a hydro immune enemy
On one hand, i don't mind neuvillette being strong since, lore and gameplay wise he's supposed to be, but on the other hand, i dont like how newer dps are forced to either be on par with neuvillette or be called sub-par by the community since they aren't as strong as neuvillette. And its even worse for older dps that were good on release now that they need to have more effort put into them to be called comparable to neuvillette.
The problem is that he’s strong + he doesnt require even 1 braincell to play. I think a monkey if trained could beat the abyss with just neuvilette. If he was hard to play it would have been justified, i dont know what mihoyo was thinking. I think a lot of people will prefer mualani because she has a more challenging and rewarding gameplay
All Fontaine DPS are strong, they just need specific team for their best output. It's just that Neuvillette is overated and brainless gameplay. It's also the reason why Imaginarium Theater existed so that people are not using Neuvillette over and over.
@@yujin-1907well then how come every archon is the best in their respective element? Yes even Venti, cuz when he works he is the literal best character in the game.
After playing Genshin pretty seriously for 3+ years I pull purely for design and playstyle now. I’m just here to enjoy the world and characters and finish the story. Plan is to pull for 2-3 characters a year I really love because I don’t even use half the characters I’ve already built, and barely bother to play abyss.
I mean you can't bring Neuvillette to both side of the abyss, and let alone to all 10 chambers of the IT (if you can even brind hydro in the first place), and these 2 cases are the only ones where a comparison is even remotely valid. They will just make new units not work with Neuvillette or Furina.
Idk about you but there's never a time when you should bring 2 same element dps in the abyss. If the top is perfect for neuvilette, then the bottom must be opposite element of him like pyro or something. Thats why Him powecreep every hydro dps is very bad for this game
@@gullivurr easy invincible phases, constant hiding like geovishap hatchlings or enemies that can block/parry dmg back at you done next question. BONUS more elemental shielded enemies for invincible to said element that can change its element on the fly or static whichever comes first
Mona is still a good sub dps/support. Using her is not stupid, its actually a good strategy, if you don't have Furina using her is a good alternative, although not consistent as Furina but still a good alternative
I don’t get why people keep calling her a flop, I mean she just released, do people really expect a character to reach their full potential on day one?
Meta slaves. If a DPS isn’t the best then they can basically be considered the worst. That is usually how their mentality goes. Mualani and Neuvillette are both insanely strong, and while one may be better than the other it doesn’t mean the weaker one is useless. If I can still play this game and clear content with 1.0 units without much of a struggle then Mualani competing with Neuvillette isn’t really a problem since at the end of the day they aren’t necessary, are they useful and strong? Yeah, necessary? No.
It's not a flop, it's just a goofy character. The shark and the pixel guy are just out of place. It would have been fine if they were introduced in the event roblox area.
She isn't even technically released now, currently the maintance is going on Updating the game adding her! I think Mualani looks hella fun to play and I do have Neuvilette!!! I am excited for later
I was away from the game for 3 months so I can honestly say, I just wanted Mualani cause I think she's cute and looked fun for exploring. I think it depends what the player is looking for, if you're all about big numbers then you might be a little strict on who you pull. I'm a day one player who've taken multiple breaks just about every year, but I'm at the point to where I'm just pulling fun pretty characters then moving onto other games.
This video honestly leaves a bad taste for both Mualani and Neuvillette mains as there are people who just genuinely enjoy them without the whole bullsh*t meta discussion theatrics Like nobody is forcing people to pull for Neuvillette or Mualani if they don’t want to. Video’s like these are what breeds this meta toxicity into the community Honestly pretty saddening video to watch right before the launch of Natlan
@@AmbroseVermillionI definitely agree. It's such an unnecessary degree of critique. The hyper focus on meta is so yawn to me at this point. There are so many good dps options to choose from in this game and you can't go wrong with any five star dps unit you find fun to play.
@@AmbroseVermillion Interesting, because his whole account (afa genshin goes) is about not giving in to meta hypes. He judges characters based on how they function compared to the game design (which is about elemental reactions) and how they stand against the test of time. Long-term usefulness and potential... Plus, the entire video is about how we should stop comparing characters to Neuvillette and how these two (with Mualani) have different functions in your account. He says, you should choose whichever fits your playstyle. And that having them both would be ideal. I like his videos because they are trying to be objectively informative while others are biased and a total clickbait from start to finish. E g. Jello Impact just released a video with a title saying that Mualani power crept Neuvillette. While he talks about how clunky it is to play her, how he had to try multiple times to get a good clear with her on an abyss floor where his C0 Neuvillette did the job on first try. And then concludes that with future supports Mualani will be better but then the same supports are good for Neuvillette, so he won't be power crept overall.... A very biased, self-denial heavy, confusing clickbait. This video keeps telling that we should not compare characters to the dragon sovereign because he has a unique design that -one could argue - is a mistake, because now other characters look bad unless they match him - and he argues they shouldn't necessarily...
I came back to the game just because I thought mualani looked super awesome and cute, and her gameplay looks/feels really fun imo Would pull her over Neuvillette any day
Yah but it doesn't mean we can't talk about. I remember when it was hu tao and every dps after her. I wonder who will replace the dragon otter? Edit: I mean when the question was "Why play anyone but her?"
@@xenoemblem7 Oh I didn't mean stop playing him. Just who is going to dethrone him. I mean when's the last time an abyss guide has really recommended hu tao as a top candidate. She used to be all over the place. Even during inazuma patch. Someone might do that to him at some point.
Bitching abt a character loosing 13% overall dps when they can still one shot 80% of the enemies in the game is insane. Truly genshin community behaviour
Your point is invalid 80% of enemies are grind mobs so their weak existence is irrelevant. It’s like saying all 4* are good because they can easily deal with an hilichurl. Completely useless damage calculation
@@Zuvas first, you just proved my point. Go pick mint in your dinosawr monstad loser. Second, your point is invalid because all enemies in the overworld are supposed to be farm enemies, including world and weekly bosses. If not, go ask someone who's played for more than a year and a half how fast they can kill Childe. Third, even with the 13% nerf, the only time you wouldn't be able to one cycle an enemy would be *ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS* in abyss. Go cry me a river, it's a gacha game, and an outdated one at that
@@Zuvas hoyo bots when they get answered with logic: Also, no. I don't watch his streams, i barely watch any of his videos and I'm not even in his DC. However, I bet your twitter name has the boycott # on the desc 🤡🤡🤡
The biggest problem i have with Neuvillette is that he is so overtuned, he forces nerfs on future support characters. Testers were so worried Xilonen would overbuff Neuvillete, they overwhelmingly requested she be nerfed (the hilarious irony being the nerf actually made her a bit worse for everyone else, and INSANE for Neuvillette). They have also expressed concerns about other future supports, like Citlani is expected to be, and that will likely result in nerfs as well. If a character is so strong that the only way to balance him is to nerf future supports, that character is a problem
10:33 I don't know how many people actually think this way - personally, I consider him and arle to be the exception, not the rule. They're that good but they aren't the standard I hold other characters to. Maybe that's just me though. (I also didn't pull for them, but that's because I have skill issue playing them, not because I don't want to use game-breaking characters.)
I freaking hate how the community thinks this way, just pull for the units that suit YOUR tastes and not the meta or how you think they stack against other people’s units
@user-sm5vo7ob9x I'm someone who disagrees with this personally. Sole reason is due to Opportunity cost which has always been a thing with gachas. If I am a player who is spending a minimum of 200 USD for one character it better be worth the money and or time investment I spend if I am a f2p player to get that character especially in a Gacha game. Sure you can just not do the endgame, keep in mind I'm okay with people not doing endgame and enjoying the characters, but what if I'm a player who enjoys limit testing my account. It can easily spiral out of control with that line of thinking imo as the character you put a lot of effort into are just discarded the moment the next best thing comes around. There isn't anything wrong with enjoying characters, regardless of player new or old, but who are you to dismiss a very real problem that actually cna severely affect the game because opportunity cost is VERY real regardless of if there is a endgame or not
Opportunity cost can also come up just as much with "trying to get your favorites" as with "trying to get the meta ones". Not only by the unknown nature of future banners but also with the fact that sometimes those meta characters can really help your favorites do better. Think of some of the cyno mains who later regretted him because there weren't any dendro units out (other than nahida, who they might not have been able to get because he was 3.1 and she was 3.2) and that made him feel bad to play. How characters feel to play or their damage affects how people see them anyway. Those people were more likely to pull for characters like furina or baizhu (either for meta, personality, or both). There's not a well-defined line between meta and favorites in this game and there isn't supposed to be. It's supposed to be a mix of both. Also, this game isn't hard enough to completely block using a character as long as they're well invested and have a good team. Example: while my Chongyun mono cryo is not good enough to clear floor 12 yet (I have a lot of dead stats and I need a better weapon), the team has no problem with floors 11 and below. I just use a different two teams to do floor 12. I don't mean to call anyone out here, just wondering why the divide is always so strong between "meta" and "casual" players.
@patricialock1862 I think I can provide the meta viewpoint as I'm someone who aims to get 36 consistently which has been happening for a couple years albiet to took a lot of time for me to get there. The game isn't dark souls hard but the challenge is still there due to how Hoyo is presenting the current endgame of Abyss and Theatre. I'll be moreso talking about the Abyss tbvh. When hoyo decides the lineup to be for the promotional character in rotation which is quite common the underlying feeling of Abyss is that it's used to promote them, that was the general thing with Abyss until version 2.1 where Abyss line up was a lot heavier, venti wasn't able to group things anymore due to the weight being changed as a nerf to him so the difficulty increased ever since version 2 of the Abyss. When version 3 came out it increased again albiet due to the fact that not everyone had the opportunity to get the dendro units like Alhaitham and Nahida early on. They were also so universal especially nahida that it was essentially you gotta get them to make Abyss easier to clear unless if hoyo puts in stalling timer bosses like Wenut, Golden Wolflord etc which is where a lot of frustration lies in abyss. Then 3.7 Abyss came out and hoyo put 4 mil hp on consecrated beasts, dendro doggo and Crocodile who do have a built in resistance to freeze meaning the timer for the freeze was lowered and you need to kill 2 waves of them in under 1min 30 sec. It's ever since then that people have to be cautious with what happens im Abyss as hoyo can put monsters with already high scaling and aren't fun to fight like wenut as a example and just make the HP go higher and higher until only people who have like PERFECT gear can beat them. With changes to Venti not being ablr to be pulling in heavier monsters until very late change in version 2. Something. Hoyo can and will make the endgame harder artificially so you cannot get the reward of premium currency which is what you want so you can save for characters you like more in the future. Ironically you need characters that are strong regardless of if you like them or not. So pulling a character that's weak will make your time with endgame much more unbearable as it's more frustrating than challenging especially due to the fact you are on a strict dps timer of 3 mins if you are aiming for 36. It's okay if people aren't aiming for 36 don't get it twisted but for players like me who want to test as best as I can with the units I got. It's a struggle when hoyo deliberately makes things more artificial and you need units that others definitely may not have. For reference I have a lot of the meta units like Neuv c1, Furina, alhaitham, Nahida c2. kazuha etc. But that's because I played long enough and got lucky a lot too so my experience isn't the same as others anymkre due to my account being so strong as a f2p that people would consider me a whale
@@neo-zamatoYour comment is beautiful but the best thing is the last paragraph. You have invested vertically into few units. No matter how good characters they release in future, your vertically invested units will carry you and you will always be free to pull even slightly weaker units. It is the f2p misconceptions content creators like Zhajef use to spread their propaganda of how you can 36 star with half ass 4 star teams. They make f2p players think Pulling for cons or weapons= Super bad when it is the best approach to play the game. They literally have C6 4 stars and r5 favonious weapons and f2ps think they give f2ps false hope that they can recreate the performance with their c0 Xiangling and c1 Xingqiu. F2ps should pull for their favourite characters, pull for their premium teams, early cons and with weapon banner buff in 5.0 weapons too and play solid teams that can actually constantly clear the abyss no matter how much they ramp up the dps check.
People tend to exaggerate just how much Neuvillette powercrept the hydro DPS niche, not realizing that he is really a one of a kind character. Other hydro DPS characters (Ayato, Childe, Mualani) are reaction drivers, while Neuvillette gets most of his buffs from Furina or VV. If you ran the numbers, the difference between Mualani and Neuvillette teams is likely pretty negligible. It's just Neuvillette's simple playstyle and lack of competition that makes him appear so broken.
It’s not just number crunching. It’s the fact that neuvillette works in aoe and single target really well. He also has synergy with most supports in the game
I think the neuvi situation (him warping peoples perceptions of whats "broken") is similar to other gacha games e.g. acheron from hsr, jinhsi from wuwa, so i think ive gained a better understanding of neuvis situation because of the other circumstances, because people will doompost about other characters (as u mentioned) not being good enough, but in reality, theyre still ur "average broken dps" or even better, and seeing this pattern across just other gacha games that i enjoy sure is interesting
it's only fitting for them to make neuvillette stronger than the rest, considering he canonically is one of the OG inhabitators of teyvat, being a sovereign and all. so I wouldn't say mistake, rather it was intentional.
It was an intentional action with zero foresight , hence a mistake. They obviously intended for him to he strong and intended for him to be popular and bring in the big cash , but didn't have the foresight to predict that the absurd amount of shilling in the story would make many people dislike him, and that his ridiculous power level and him taking away spotlight from other characters would damage future unit's sales on top of everyone being just a bit more angry when a unit they were looking forward to is mediocre , because if Neuvilette is allowed to make a joke out of any semblance of balance this game had , then surely my waifu is allowed to be strong as well even if not as much.
The easy way to rationalize Neuvillette being as Op is to categorized him as we categorized the Archons being a subset of Genshin characters justified to be being exceptationally strong from the rest of the cast. Neuvillette being a Hydro Sovereign should be the benchmark for other playable sovereign characters in the future and not just any characters just like the Archons was.
@@NevertahnProduction I mean, he is now. He basically turns the game into easy mode. They needed to build new enemies that ignore def just to make him not overpowered.
I'm not sure if he's a mistake but I also don't have him. I've skipped him and probably always will. If you told me 70% of all genshin players really care about a character's power lvl I'd believe it. I'm in the minority. Power matters but only as much as their design weapon element and character matter. When Mualani was dripped I thought she looked cool I might pull but was then immediately turned off because everyone said she was a catalyst user. For me the redeeming quality was that I really like her VA so I'll pull her. Yoimiya is considered one of the weaker 5* dps units and she's a staple pick for me in my abyss teams with my other 2 main teams being Itto and Navia teams. With Genshin being as easy as it is you can kinda run who ever you want given you have enough investment and understanding of the game mechanics.
Yeah, I agree. For me, Mualani's pull value is almost exclusively because of her skill and the fact that I know a lot of people will want Kinich and Kachina stuffs, so it's nice to have the Natlan locator skill for QoL. The fact that she has vaporize utility that synergizes well with what I have is more a bonus on that.
As someone who personally despises his gameplay and outfit design (I understand people like it, it's just not for me), I'll never pull for him either. My account functions perfectly fine without him, clearing the abyss and imanginarium with ease. No character is a must pull. Artifact luck is king.
Fr. I really dislike Neuvillette, he's just another on-field 5 star that I don't need because 4 stars are more than good enough. He might be the best on-field DPS character, but you'll never get me to stop playing Wanderer on 1st half and Heizou on 2nd half. I will say, I do understand the frustration behind Neuvillette despite not having him. Trying to discuss on-field DPS after his release has been equally as obnoxious as trying to discuss Anemo characters with Kazuha's existance. I've seen people call Hu Tao bad now, it's crazy.
@@marqkcWell you are on right track. The problem of Neuvillete is he discard other characters like Yelan and Xingqiu. Even some on-fielders can still share damage on-screen with quickswap like Raiden+Eula or Ayaka+Ayato... Neuvillete cuts the selective team members, even meta ones like Yelan to synergy with him. If you pull Neuvillette, better just go with pulling his constelation to C6 as well rather than pulling other 6 DPS.
Hoyo seems to specialize in ensuring that somewhere, someway each character gets to really shine, so I think it's fine if Mualani doesn't immediately crush Neuvillette in raw damage. Not super relevant, but lorewise, it makes sense that Neuvillette would be overpowered. Just like how all of the archons are the best at whatever the "point" of their element is (Venti = crowd control, Zhongli = Shielding, etc), Neuvi should be a top ranker as the hydro dragon sovereign. It also kinda makes sense that a dragon sovereign, something that was on Teyvat before the archons or humans, would follow slightly different rules than the humans who use the same element (even if he was technically reincarnated post-humanity).
I don’t know if they ensure such a thing for most characters. But, I agree. Mualani should have some time for players to work out the kinks before just throwing her in the bin.
strong = mistake mid = who cares weak = unplayable there is no way to win against the argument just pull based on the looks and gameplay that's the best way to play this game.
i think most people would rather a mistake or who cares over unplayable there is nothing worse than the feeling of a character you liked and waited to get him/her for a couple of updates like kaveh only for him to turn out to be worse than dori somehow
Aside from the brain dead level of gameplay and some stans with huge egos he's a cool unit, hoyo made him too strong with little to no downsides which could potentially ruin future dps characters
Not really. He’s a good “get this guy if you wanna win” character, I think some games need that kind of option for the casual audience to experience the full game. It’s like Mimic Tear in Elden Ring, do you need it to complete the content? No, but it’ll definitely help those who do need it!
Hoyo seems pretty self aware of how much of a corner they’ve put themselves into with power levels and are trying to compensate for that fact with yes, these new Natlan characters being more focused on mobility both to appeal to newbies/outsiders intimidated by the massive 5 year old map and to give the established players (who don’t have Kazuhya/Wanderer or Yelan) more reason to roll for new characters for reasons besides power. And yet they still wanted to have that cake too or else they wouldn’t and tried pulling the stunt they did with nerfing Hydro pump. It’s nice to seem them spooked out of complacency after not having to give a shit since Zhongli
Honestly this is the saddest part for me. I probably would've loved to have this character but I frankly do not care. How good can she be if hoyo felt the need to nerf Neuvillette to make her more appealing? The lack of confidence hoyo has in her REEKS. Why should I pull her if her state necessitated nerfing a previous character? I mean I'm not pulling for meta, but like I said, the lack of confidence reeks. I mean hoyo has NEVER directly altered a character like this right before their competitor releases. So she's just "that girl who is so bad they had to try to nerf previous characters to sell her." Rip to anyone who likes her, you have far more patience for hoyo bs than me. But she got the absolute worst marketing imaginable.
He’s definitely a mistake, he’s a damage dealer with practically no weaknesses. Reliable self healing, basically no down time for his dps window, doesn’t require really any specific units to function, doesn’t require any needs of grouping to handle AOE. And his only true “downside” being lack of IR during his charge attack is not only just a non issue in actuality, but is so easy to play around that it’s not even a real concern.
Ye he's definitely wayy too all rounded but to be fair I'm glad they let the hydro sovereign be busted, not some other random character. It would seem strange if they made mualani much stronger than him as lore wise she's nowhere near as relevant
@@youngfigarogotta be an L tale remember that a funny ghost girl has been a top 5 or top 6 unit since forever now even when a super strong character like raiden lore wise who has insane feats does less dmg than some girl who sells coffins

@@jadecoolness101 she ofc takes her job seriously but literally if you compare raiden to her in terms of lore and the fact that hu tao does more damage is crazy simular to how a dancer can make weak units do more damage compared to a god
We had this conversation with RS and Nahida, people will eventually just decide to not want to use him because more interesting options come out. Neuvilette being boring to play. Is what’s gonna make people want to pull for newer people.
i feel that neuvillette being the strongest in his element just feels right, he is the hydro dragon after all and the sovereigns are more powerful than the archons Edit: im not saying that you aren’t allowed to to play anyone other than neuvi. Endgame is not that hard. If you want to play main dps dori or any other team im not stopping you or telling you to use neuvi instead. Im just saying it is logical he is the strongest. Yea we do have human characters that are meta and again im not saying not to play them, play who you want, its just that neuvi has some lore backing up his overpowerness
Relating character damage to lore is very limiting in designing Future characters. At some point in the future, players will get tired of playing Neuvillette and imagine Hoyo having this mindset, refusing to release any other Hydro character that's stronger than him because of "lore".
@@FinnHuman6378 I honestly don’t mind us having another “neuvillette”, it would be for the best tbh. It was the same with hu tao and even after arle ppl still use her because she is still strong!
@@FinnHuman6378...and? What's the issue? Can't those tired players easily play other dps chars, and clear content with them? That's, like, the entire point of getting new 5* for a veteran player in the first place, to have more fun with different units.
Yes, of course he is a mistake. They made the "perfect" DPS. Incredible AOE, strong single target, extremely safe because of range, self heal and HP pool, easy teambuilding, absolute braindead gameplay. Characters should have strength and weaknesses. "But why not just play neuvillette instead?" will always be the question when talking Hydro DPS, and that's just bad design.
Would be an excellent argument if Genshin had pvp, or if other hydro dps couldn’t clear everything in the game the same as neuvi. It’s an unranked pve game lol.
@@Kota-sk8slnah, game balance is still important even in a pve game. Yeah you can complete abyss with weaker characters but abyss is always scaling up. Game devs think about everyone’s average account power and that includes everyone who owns the best hydro dps. Then they scale the abyss to match it. I remember when abyss was a joke in 1.x using just diluc. Now, bringing diluc is painful. It is power creep.
@@supermelonbread they don’t scale abyss up to match new dps, they just drop buffs for them lol. I can still do 30 sec chamber clears with diluc/ayato/yelan/etc and IT doesn’t even let you bring one character over and over like that.
I personally like Neuvillette alot, he's just so comfy in the overworld (tall male = run fast, self sustain, just E instead of doing a whole freaking set up) and makes hard multi wave abysses less of a burden to my mental. But I do agree that it's easy to get good damage with him and his existence hurts hydro and the game noticeably. But I just don't know why people compare characters to him, they are not in the same niche, element, don't have the same team nor play style, all of them can clear abyss, why don't just treat him like that one meme character like qiqi ( him being absurdly good instead of absurdly bad) and move on with life. Just pull for who you like, if you're already happy with your characters then why worry about who you don't have or don't like.
Sorry, I do not know who you had doing calculations for you, but Mualani's overall damage decreased a lot more than 15% over the beta... Also, Mualani is ridiculously overpowered and I already have her dealing damage on par with Neuvillette at level 50 with a level 20 weapon... I think the Genshin community needs a serious redefinition to their understanding of character strength, because I hear so many insane takes about characters being weak...
Righttt??? I’m genuinely so appalled at ppl saying mualani is weak?? When I got her I tried a normal vape in open world and 300k appeared, with a normal attack and I was so shocked… and that made me decide to get C1 and now I’m planning to get C2, I legitimately think that she’s the most broken in the game rn??? Or am I delusional?
Mualani's case reminds me of Yoimiya's, When she came out, Hu Tao was already the queen of Pyro and everyone was comparing them, saying that Yoimiya was a fraud and everything. But in fact Yoimiya was and always is a decent character, it's just that the competition have been going crazy on her.
To a point yes, but they are at least both more niche characters as they are mainly single target. Yoimiya was never more than the 2nd best at that niche, but neither her or Hu Tao were beating Xiangling in AoE either. Neuvi is a generalist who is easy to play, has self-sustain and is just good vs every type of content. More niche hydro dps chars would need to significantly outperform him in at least their own particular niche to even be worth considering picking up over him gameplay-wise.
@@Josh-qt5ziI wouldn't say u healthy. Powercreep is needed to keep games fresh. I would argue it is way more less of a problem in a single player game than it is in multiplayer games.
Though I want to pull for Mualani solely because of Touyama Nao. However from the general perspective, it's rarely wrong to pull for hydro characters. Not to mention that Mavuika could potentially propel Mualani's forward vape gameplay even further. So yeah, the potential for Mualani can be quite high.
Combat being the focus for a lot of people is the real mistake if you ask me. Genshin's main premise and selling point is being open world, which entails some combat yes, but mobility and field utility are also key aspects to it. Dozens of characters have zero move/field aspects to their kits, not to mention the number of artifact sets with non-combat effects in the game has remained the same since launch. (just one) I hope the introduction of World Level 9 is a sign that they will get on that and bring the overworld to life...
the reason combat becomes an issue comes down to two areas the top one being the spiral abyss. with the enemy roster and blessing of the moon always changing, the fact you have a time limit that demands you kill really quickly (unlike the overworld where maybe you'll run into one timed challange that wants you to do it in under a minute), the fact you need TWO teams (making it so your "run through the world" team isn't enough) and i'm pretty sure spiral abyys enemies have higher health than overworld enemies. it is the embodiment of "post-game" team building. The second is certain events that also pull simmilar rules to the abyss (like the current natlan event which requires not only two teams, but they also need to be compatible with each trials requirements) and it starts to make sense why everyone is obsessed with combat. i've been playing since inazuma came out when my friends introduced me. one stopped playing because she doesn't have a lot of money and most of the characters she had were not compatible with each other (i think it was the base 4 and razor with razor being her best) she never got past liyue. my second friends still plays but can't do anything in the spiral abyss or events because he doesn't have money and only has 1 good team. if your trying to save money spiral abyss and events are the two main ways to consistantly get primogems. it's a vicious cycle. in my case i just go to floor 10 of the abyys and skip 11 and 12/ (11 because of the first chamber, i don't have any good crowd control teams ASIDE from Neuvillette so i can't do defend the leyline since i don't have a second team.) and as for events i go bare minimum.
Initially Genshin was promoted as an Open World *RPG* so of course Combat would be one of the main Focus aside of Exploring. Element and Team System should tell you that much, and what would even be the point of Characters if Combat wasn't even important? Might as well turn it into a Novel than Game. The mistake here was that the fact Genshin lack of Focus. This game try to appeal to as much audience as possible but fail to satisfy most of said audience hence how fanbase being all over the place, because they came for different interest.
@@zadokutah2315 Different interests can be a good thing, beside I think the devs agree with me on that front: Natlan characters have been nothing but wild mobility options so far and based on what I've seen in leaks that ain't stopping anytime soon...
He IS the Hydro Sovereign, he has all the lore reasons to be the most OP character. For Dehya to be as weak as she is and for the 1.0 starter 4 stars as strong as they are, those are mistakes.
Also remember that the 3rd top dps unit in the game is a dude who skips work to read books and a girl with a umbrella gun lore doesn’t give reason if that was the case then venti would still be meta
lyney? navia? mualani? why is miko a downgrade in most teams compared to fischl? and why does clorinde, if not more, does as much dmg as raiden? then we have ganyu who is a high risk and low reward character. they're making newer units more powerful to look more appealing compared to the older ones and it has nothing to do with lore.
Before people go rambling about powercreep in my replies, idgaf about it, it is present in every Hoyo and gacha games. You guys missed the point that for Neuvilette's case to be OP is no big deal. Why not give the strongest lore wise playable character the strongest most braindead kit? People even mentioning powercreep is so hillarious, like what is there to even fight with. The game is an explore and character collection. Go speak about powercreep in the 2 Honkai games thats much more relevant.
Neuvi indeed spoiled us, main problem is that powercreeping too quickly will make all previous characters instantly obsolete, you cannot expect people to say "neuvillette is op" and next "neuvillette is mid compared to mualani", what about navia arlecchino and clorinde, they're already in the trash this way, imagine people like hu tao cyno wanderer etc. I understand powercreeping is a good motivation to make people pull for the character, but you should sell gameplay and aesthetics in the first place not how much the character can give you in terms of primos
I'll add to this saying that the higher you power creep the lower the previous characters become in terms of usability, You wouldn't want your previous characters to become obsolete, you would want them to be comparable to a certain extent so that people would want to get constellations. What even is the point of character X rerun, like tartaglia for example? I come from a time where Razor was perfectly usable in the abyss and always got me close to 36 stars, around the time cyno came out, now I can't even expect it to clear 12-1 even with furina c1 and so on. This is wasted potential and wasted opportunities. I believe that people should be confident to play who they want without having the fear of missing out on better performing characters, if one absolutely loves x character and wants to make it c6 that's 6 new pgs less than the next guy
People don't care about that. You say the right things, but people don't care about that. They want a brainless, one-button, and primitive character who will do everything for them while they sit and scratch their asses. Neuvillette perfectly satisfies the needs of the target audience of Genshin: turn off your brain, press one button, and smile like an idiot. And the developers don't care even more. They don't care that most of the old characters have simply become devalued, as have most of the reactions, elements (hello, cryo element, we will remember you). The main thing for them is that people play brainless and unfairly broken characters. I disagree with you on one thing. Powercreeping does not give any motivation to play new characters. It gives a reason to hate them. For me personally, characters like Yoimiya, Eula, Al-Haitham are much cooler because they have aesthetics, style, they are just interesting to watch. And characters like Neuvillette are just a tree with one degenerate button that doesn't have anything special. And one more thing. Old characters are stronger than new ones. Give them what they lack and you won't need new characters. New characters only seem "broken" compared to old ones simply because the developers carefully licked them without giving them those artificial limitations or garbage kits that old characters have.
Yes he is strong but the mistake was not fixing his spin2win "mechanic" from the get go, w/o that he would just be a good dps character and not the only character you need for 90% of the content.
"I don't think we should expect everyone to 1v9 the way Neuvillette can" Why not, Vars? What's wrong with wanting a character that is stronger than Neuvillette? Mihoyo didn't care about balance when they made Neuvillette, they allowed him to powercreep every single character in the game combined. But now that it's time to make female DPS characters, suddenly they have to be mindful about balance so that the precious husbando dragon god doesn't get powercrept? Everyone has to be held back so that Neuvillette stays at the top? Screw that. I want Mavuika to be the strongest hypercarry DPS in the game that completely destroys and humiliates Neuvillette, the same way Neuvillette took a dump on the meta for the last year.
Well, when in the same game there's a 1 man army character being so strong AND tanky WITH sustain you can run him alone in a team/reaction based game when there is also, at the same time, a dysfunctional 5* being so bad she's basically incomplete without constellations and literally worse than most 4*s...there is a problem.
I think he is, he's too strong (thank God he is cuz i don't wanna spend my life building a bunch of characters to clear the abyss when I can just use him)
1. Never take what the Genshin community online says too seriously. Most of them are like 14 years old and don't have developed brains. 2. Not every character has to be groundbreaking or more powerful than the last 3. Neuvillette being powercrept would be much more of an issue than the alternative. I expect a sovereign to be the strongest of their respective element purely on a lore level, it simply wouldn't make sense to have anyone stronger IMO. 4. We still don't have a hydro claymore user and I thought I'd use this opportunity to say wtf
Neuvillette simply got that 1.0 4 star treatment. He set the standard and future characters will be worse off for it as it seems like there's a damage output range that hoyo doesn't want to exceed
Considering we've gotten used to talks of how no support can beat Bennett, no pyro can beat Xiangling, etc... not only is it always possible (though way more subtle in genshin than in HSR for example) it will for sure happen at some point. Not everyone wants to use the characters just because of meta, which is why there's so much variety. I don't see a problem comparing dps units to each other even outside of their usual niche because... that also happened with Neuvillette. Technically even his dmg is "limited" in how you get his best self buffs. The problem more so comes from how they are compared. It's like raw dmg vs reaction dmg vs something like bloom dmg. I also don't think that the devs should limit characters based on old ones. Whales already can hit the dmg ceiling with wild builds; what's the harm in releasing stronger characters over time to allow players to use more variety, even if it buffs an already strong "broken" character? People say they will never make a better Bennett or Xiangling but... they also used to say that about Xingqiu... I'm personally not using any of those three but would gladly take replacements if I like the characters enough I actually think that they likely nerfed Neuvillette because Sigewinne's burst movement seems like it used to be the same as his charged attack, and they didn't want her to have it so they retroactively changed it for him too. Technically they'd also have to remove the movement for Nahida if we are being picky. Timing was bad and could be somewhat related, but Sigewinne's movement is what makes me think it's that
Also, realistically I'm glad Neuvillette is "broken" because... there's a consistent disparity for some power levels in game for characters. People expected the archons to be super strong. People now expect harbingers to be strong (since we now know the smaller the number, the more power + the top 3 can rival gods... we canonically can't defeat Arlecchino as we are, etc). Dragon sovereign was something people probably didn't expect as a character category but making them the strongest in some capacity as exceptions should be fine because... it is lowkey expected and if anything gives them an excuse to come out with a ridiculously op kit just for fun. Acheron is probably the best example I can think of because her gameplay power matches her in game role as an emanator. And realistically she might not even be the strongest emanator we get because Nihility doesn't normally grant power. Imagine a future emanator (so not as easily power crept as the 1.0 type characters) that is actually granted power by their path (or the path they follow in lore but their playable path is different).
I honestly don't know what Hoyo was thinking when they designed him, Neuvillete didn't only take the whole hydro element, he took the entire DPS category, it just kind of kills my interest in pulling for characters. a single target? just hydro pump the shit out of it, one heavy attack doing Ayaka's burst level damage with a larger range, (and he can vape his heavy hits if you want to). AOE? Just spin, he has top tier single target damage while losing 0 dps on AOE cases, his range is larger than Venti's ult, C1 gives him super armor, so basically he has Zhongli and Venti in his kit. I also don't understand hp scaling DPS characters, your standard Attack scaling DPS characters are standing on bennets circle, dodging attacks, risking getting one shot by enemies just to wish they can reach 80 percent of the damage Neuvillete does while just pressing on your left key, tanking every thing with his 40k hp, super armor and self-healing. by the way, those hilichurl's wooden shields that can block projectiles from behind and above, can't block Neuvilletes heavy hit right in front of them😂
He was not a mistake, but me pulling for him was because Wriothesley seems to never be getting a rerun. And he's too easy to play, so he made the game boring for me to play cause there's no real challenge with him. Hence, I've stopped relying on him and am trying to play other characters that Imfind more fun like Clorinde.
I pulled for Mualani without knowing about her DPS capabilities. I just like her design and personality. I already have The Knave, Nilou, Nahida, Keqing, Ganyu, Yoimiya, etc. I dont need more DPS. I need more fun and that's what she gave
@@DiamondCityLights as opposed to...? I feel like I'm in the twilight zone where Genshin has the most complex gameplay ever. Units are suuuper difficult to execute. Neuvilette is just as boring as all the others. He's a bit easier but Genshin's gamplay as a whole is kiddie level.
@@manetarofl I wouldn't even call him easier to play since you have to control him and his aim, unlike a lot of characters that have auto aim and auto target and you just mash buttons.
I feel like this is kind of misleading because if you look at most theary crafters they all say that it was a 40% nerf not a 15% one. I know it's kind of rude to say this but something must have been really wrong with those numbers.
As a player who quit in update 2.6 and came back in 4.8, I felt the power creep like crazyyyy. I used to 36 star abyss, but now my mistsplitter Ayaka and wgs Eula can barely keep up. And characters like my Ganyu and Yoimiya are just too weak for abyss
The only mistake with Neuv, is giving him BOTH insane range and QoL. If he wasn't able to move while shooting/charging, didn't have insane self healing, or limit his range/number of targets he can hit, he wouldn't be so omnipresent. Just remove one or two of these things, and he would still be OP, but not spammable in every situation without hydro immunity. But, who really cares at the end of the day? I didn't pull him, but other people enjoy him.
@@xenoemblem7 neuv doesnt need one but has his best team, mualani needs a team but doesnt have one yet shes still top tier shes going to be busted later on
Hoyo did not put a lot of thought when designing and releasing Neuvi. What did they expect when releasing a DPS character, that can heal, good AOE, wielding the best element in the game, without the downside of catalyst weapon? Honestly, Neuvi was not a mistake by himself, its just ANY character that does not match up to him in terms of DPS, as easy to build, or have good AOE, The community will say that the character is not worth it, mid or downright garbage. The most frustrating reason is that the Community IS right. If you are F2P or does not spend lots of money and wants to make the most of your wish, why would you pull for an inferior character? better just wait when Neuvi re-run.
He's the embodiment of hydro in the game,a random guide from a fire nation with a vision over powers him is just ridiculous, i like the game and its lore, and really hate it when they don't follow the lore of the characters
as a person who mains neuvilette, i pulled for mualani because her damage output is amazing, shes AMAZING for epxloration, and not to mention SUEPR fun to use
I always think other DPS like a sword/spear/other meele weapon, while Neuvi is a gun. Other DPS need stricter mastery from the wielder to pop off but give a gun to normal people and they already can kill a person with a single click.
I have sort of a reverse power creep issue personally, not that new characters are worse at a baseline but I've always vertically invested. I can't justify replacing my c1r1 hu tao and c4r1 yelan. navia is the most recent character I pulled and I did find her super fun at c0. but I find too many characters have big flaws like neuvulette even cannot dodge and would have to steal my zhongli unless I got his c1, sure he's top tier but he would be taking away from my hu tao who already clears everything insanely fast.. the cost of getting a character c1-2 and their weapon makes it so once you've already done it once it's almost not worth doing it again, I could spend less pulls to get c6 yelan from my current point than I would need to spend to get neuv and his weapon. again to re state I don't think that new characters are bad I just think they cost so much that if you already have invested characters it's just as easy to go for more investment on the ones you have
Not really because they are two different type of DPS. Mualani should be compared to people like Navia, Hu Tao, Arlecchino as they are all nuke DPS types with high damage scaling Neuvilllette doesn’t focus on high numbers but consistent attacks with a bit of self support built in. They need to introduce a similar DPS style to Neuvillette’s for it to be a more relevant comparison
@@AmbroseVermillion Nahida and Raiden are already button mash and brainless team to play. Even better than Neuvillete that he can't tackle Hydro enemies. The archons can still be functional when the enemies are immune to their own elements except solo.
The thing is Mualani hasn't really reached her max potential yet Since there's still a lack of Natlan characters she can work with Also she cant really reach the max dmg that her burst can do since her NGG( Natlans Greatest Guide) cant reach max stacks yet in a rotation cause its takes 18/12 secs for the Nightsoul burst to active depending on the natlan characters present in the team
Just pull whoever you want, bad or good. I did that and i am happy with my decision. I mean, look at Ningguang being a 4* and Nilou being a 5*. It doesn’t make sense but Hoyo is Hoyo. A hydro sovereign losing to a cha cha cha girl is just another Tuesday for them.
Genshin is a team played game, releasing a character who invalidates that is not a good idea. The guy singlehandedly clears most content without needing other characters. Meanwhile Deyha was nerfed by the same team of devs. In the name of balancing they said.
He and Arlecchino absulutely ruined coop for me. Every other coop match I do always include a Nuivelette or an Arlechino. Normally I enjoy making different kinds of teams so, It gets boring after a while using the same teams over and over again you know..
natlan characters relying on each other to reach full potential is a mistake. look at neuvie! you could pair him up with anybody else, or just different elements.
It is not, even as powerful as she is acheron has weakneses and need a team, neuvilete can solo abyss easy. Like people still plays kafka today because she and acheron are diferent.
I already disagree. Nuevillette represents the "long-stretch" home. He IS the sovereign that the principles used to create the hydro throne for archons.
I think the mistake of Mualani was to compete directly with Nevillete in various aspect: -Being catalyst -Scale in Hp -Being mainly a dps. If she was other weapon then she would make good use of those who sucks because of their low attack. Or if she had dual scaling of hp and attack, then she could have more variety of supports, directly making her teams more diverse
I might add that there are no claymore hydro users and just 1 lancer hydro 4 star. And she could have just used her surf board as a weapon, just saying...
I wouldn't know, mister Vars. I don't roll for dude characters no matter how powerful they are. I'll forever be in the proud 1% that doesn't own Kazuha and each time I skip him my smug gets a little bit stronger.
People are completely missing the point in the comment section… All the sudden they are talking about lore😭 Neuvi is definitely a mistake. He literally has zero weakness. Im sure hoyo will think of a way to nerf him indirectly. Just like how bennet is “nerfed” because of HP scaling character and boss that could 1 shot you with vaporise. I reckon it would be harder to nerf neuvi though.. Being strong isnt a problem in itself but the fact that he can output that much dmg with little downtime, can self sustain and can be used in many teams is overkill. Only going to make future powercreeping much worse
Yep, they did. And I believe they will introduce more ways to close the gap. Neuvilette have one issue I've been deling with from the beginning of the game: he uses charged attacks, same as Ganyu and Liney. This kind of damage is poorly compartible with the most broken supports and buffs, and this is intentional.
I think she’ll be similar to Lyney, where she can do impressive numbers and has some potential, but because she’s clunky to play, nobody cares and only a few people can get the max out of her
@@sunnypa7101 yes I am. Yes she is clunky to play and I’m not the only one who thinks that, if you don’t think she’s clunky I’m happy for you, for me she is
I highly doubt it. She’s hydro. Has high numbers. Has good interruption resistance for a c0 character. I mean, she doesn’t even have a proper team yet and look how well she’s doing.
I remember pulling Neuvi bcz of his design, back in 4.1 while risking my Furina guarantee, but I never expected him to get me 36 stars in abyss... before getting him, I never had the confidence to even touch floor 12 and here I am 36 starring every abyss since 4.3, 30 star at 4.1 and 4.2 (just bcz of this cool dude), also I am more confident to face harder challenges even without his help, bcz he got me rid of that fear and given his headstart on one chamber, I learned many team varieties on the other side and tried to do in my best time possible... Also I kinda find him fun bcz he makes me feel like a whale player even though I am f2p.... Maybe I am wierd, I enjoy one shotting and dominating everything... Same reason why I pulled Arle and Navia... I guess I will get Mualani too, man 200k on her trial sheesh!! Also her personality is sweet, the archon quest made me like her more...
Acheron and Jinhsi run into the same problem for their respective games. Why pull any other DPS when you can vertically invest into eidolons/resonance chains in a broken overpowered kit that managed to dodge nerfs from beta due to dev oversight. Thus allowing a F2P to clear endgame content because they invested smartly by gauging a unit’s account value.
Is Zhong Li too strong ? Yes because gameplay should match lore. Is Nuvelette strong ? Yes Is it a mistake ? Never. Will Capitano be strong ? He better be !!
Soo how strong do you want the heavily principles to be then? I mean they basically clapped all the dragons so they have to be absolutely gamebreaking after that logic
doesnt make sense when you realize an archon capable of effortlessly slicing mountains in half deals less damage than a spooky ghost girl who runs a funeral parlor
Honestly I'm very excited to move on from using neuvillette to mualani Neuvillette is great, but he's so braindead easy to play that he's gotten VERY boring to use
@@AmbroseVermillion I disagree - first of all, I generally just don't agree with her having 'lackluster animations' (whatever that means) but neuvillette is literally just pressing Skill or Burst and then holding the attack button
@@adar9236 Her burst animation is a literal bite from her shark with some comic text pop up, even Barbara has a more interesting animation than that. And her kit is basically spamming normal attack and moving around like what already most of the Genshin cast does

Him being the best is thematically fitting. Sadly he is braindead easy. It would be better for the games health overall if Alhaitham was the best. Considering he actually requires a level of thinking. Granted hes still top 3 and debateably top 2 so he WAS the best until Neuvillette and Arlecchino gave him competition.

It wasn't a mistake they made her shit on purpose and then dumped her in the standard banner
Everybody fav dps will say that. It's just a way to power creep. No he wasn't a mistake, yeah she is overtuned he wasn't a mistake.

Like remember how Geo's only merit is that it's a very self reliant and insular elemtn that doesn't need reactions to work? Well now Mono Hydro absolutely beats its ass in that regard.

If a DPS isn’t the best then they can basically be considered the worst. That is usually how their mentality goes.
Mualani and Neuvillette are both insanely strong, and while one may be better than the other it doesn’t mean the weaker one is useless.
If I can still play this game and clear content with 1.0 units without much of a struggle then Mualani competing with Neuvillette isn’t really a problem since at the end of the day they aren’t necessary, are they useful and strong? Yeah, necessary? No.
It's not a flop, it's just a goofy character. The shark and the pixel guy are just out of place. It would have been fine if they were introduced in the event roblox area.

I was away from the game for 3 months so I can honestly say, I just wanted Mualani cause I think she's cute and looked fun for exploring. I think it depends what the player is looking for, if you're all about big numbers then you might be a little strict on who you pull. I'm a day one player who've taken multiple breaks just about every year, but I'm at the point to where I'm just pulling fun pretty characters then moving onto other games.

Like nobody is forcing people to pull for Neuvillette or Mualani if they don’t want to. Video’s like these are what breeds this meta toxicity into the community
Honestly pretty saddening video to watch right before the launch of Natlan
@@AmbroseVermillionI definitely agree. It's such an unnecessary degree of critique. The hyper focus on meta is so yawn to me at this point. There are so many good dps options to choose from in this game and you can't go wrong with any five star dps unit you find fun to play.
@@AmbroseVermillion Interesting, because his whole account (afa genshin goes) is about not giving in to meta hypes. He judges characters based on how they function compared to the game design (which is about elemental reactions) and how they stand against the test of time. Long-term usefulness and potential...
Plus, the entire video is about how we should stop comparing characters to Neuvillette and how these two (with Mualani) have different functions in your account. He says, you should choose whichever fits your playstyle. And that having them both would be ideal.
I like his videos because they are trying to be objectively informative while others are biased and a total clickbait from start to finish.
E g. Jello Impact just released a video with a title saying that Mualani power crept Neuvillette. While he talks about how clunky it is to play her, how he had to try multiple times to get a good clear with her on an abyss floor where his C0 Neuvillette did the job on first try. And then concludes that with future supports Mualani will be better but then the same supports are good for Neuvillette, so he won't be power crept overall.... A very biased, self-denial heavy, confusing clickbait.
This video keeps telling that we should not compare characters to the dragon sovereign because he has a unique design that -one could argue - is a mistake, because now other characters look bad unless they match him - and he argues they shouldn't necessarily...
I came back to the game just because I thought mualani looked super awesome and cute, and her gameplay looks/feels really fun imo
Would pull her over Neuvillette any day
I feel like this topic is discussed every single patch
Yah but it doesn't mean we can't talk about. I remember when it was hu tao and every dps after her. I wonder who will replace the dragon otter?

Bitching abt a character loosing 13% overall dps when they can still one shot 80% of the enemies in the game is insane. Truly genshin community behaviour
it'll will mever be good enough for the average genshin player
Your point is invalid
80% of enemies are grind mobs so their weak existence is irrelevant.
It’s like saying all 4* are good because they can easily deal with an hilichurl. Completely useless damage calculation
@@Zuvas first, you just proved my point. Go pick mint in your dinosawr monstad loser.
Second, your point is invalid because all enemies in the overworld are supposed to be farm enemies, including world and weekly bosses. If not, go ask someone who's played for more than a year and a half how fast they can kill Childe.
Third, even with the 13% nerf, the only time you wouldn't be able to one cycle an enemy would be *ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS* in abyss.

The biggest problem i have with Neuvillette is that he is so overtuned, he forces nerfs on future support characters.
Testers were so worried Xilonen would overbuff Neuvillete, they overwhelmingly requested she be nerfed (the hilarious irony being the nerf actually made her a bit worse for everyone else, and INSANE for Neuvillette).
They have also expressed concerns about other future supports, like Citlani is expected to be, and that will likely result in nerfs as well.
If a character is so strong that the only way to balance him is to nerf future supports, that character is a problem
everyone complaining abt mualani being nerfed , but here i am going " HOLY SHIT , TWO CAKES "
10:33 I don't know how many people actually think this way - personally, I consider him and arle to be the exception, not the rule. They're that good but they aren't the standard I hold other characters to. Maybe that's just me though. (I also didn't pull for them, but that's because I have skill issue playing them, not because I don't want to use game-breaking characters.)
I freaking hate how the community thinks this way, just pull for the units that suit YOUR tastes and not the meta or how you think they stack against other people’s units
@user-sm5vo7ob9x I'm someone who disagrees with this personally. Sole reason is due to Opportunity cost which has always been a thing with gachas.
If I am a player who is spending a minimum of 200 USD for one character it better be worth the money and or time investment I spend if I am a f2p player to get that character especially in a Gacha game. Sure you can just not do the endgame, keep in mind I'm okay with people not doing endgame and enjoying the characters, but what if I'm a player who enjoys limit testing my account.
It can easily spiral out of control with that line of thinking imo as the character you put a lot of effort into are just discarded the moment the next best thing comes around.
There isn't anything wrong with enjoying characters, regardless of player new or old, but who are you to dismiss a very real problem that actually cna severely affect the game because opportunity cost is VERY real regardless of if there is a endgame or not
Opportunity cost can also come up just as much with "trying to get your favorites" as with "trying to get the meta ones". Not only by the unknown nature of future banners but also with the fact that sometimes those meta characters can really help your favorites do better. Think of some of the cyno mains who later regretted him because there weren't any dendro units out (other than nahida, who they might not have been able to get because he was 3.1 and she was 3.2) and that made him feel bad to play. How characters feel to play or their damage affects how people see them anyway. Those people were more likely to pull for characters like furina or baizhu (either for meta, personality, or both). There's not a well-defined line between meta and favorites in this game and there isn't supposed to be. It's supposed to be a mix of both.
Also, this game isn't hard enough to completely block using a character as long as they're well invested and have a good team. Example: while my Chongyun mono cryo is not good enough to clear floor 12 yet (I have a lot of dead stats and I need a better weapon), the team has no problem with floors 11 and below. I just use a different two teams to do floor 12.
I don't mean to call anyone out here, just wondering why the divide is always so strong between "meta" and "casual" players.
@patricialock1862 I think I can provide the meta viewpoint as I'm someone who aims to get 36 consistently which has been happening for a couple years albiet to took a lot of time for me to get there.
The game isn't dark souls hard but the challenge is still there due to how Hoyo is presenting the current endgame of Abyss and Theatre. I'll be moreso talking about the Abyss tbvh.
When hoyo decides the lineup to be for the promotional character in rotation which is quite common the underlying feeling of Abyss is that it's used to promote them, that was the general thing with Abyss until version 2.1 where Abyss line up was a lot heavier, venti wasn't able to group things anymore due to the weight being changed as a nerf to him so the difficulty increased ever since version 2 of the Abyss. When version 3 came out it increased again albiet due to the fact that not everyone had the opportunity to get the dendro units like Alhaitham and Nahida early on. They were also so universal especially nahida that it was essentially you gotta get them to make Abyss easier to clear unless if hoyo puts in stalling timer bosses like Wenut, Golden Wolflord etc which is where a lot of frustration lies in abyss.
Then 3.7 Abyss came out and hoyo put 4 mil hp on consecrated beasts, dendro doggo and Crocodile who do have a built in resistance to freeze meaning the timer for the freeze was lowered and you need to kill 2 waves of them in under 1min 30 sec.
It's ever since then that people have to be cautious with what happens im Abyss as hoyo can put monsters with already high scaling and aren't fun to fight like wenut as a example and just make the HP go higher and higher until only people who have like PERFECT gear can beat them. With changes to Venti not being ablr to be pulling in heavier monsters until very late change in version 2. Something. Hoyo can and will make the endgame harder artificially so you cannot get the reward of premium currency which is what you want so you can save for characters you like more in the future. Ironically you need characters that are strong regardless of if you like them or not.
So pulling a character that's weak will make your time with endgame much more unbearable as it's more frustrating than challenging especially due to the fact you are on a strict dps timer of 3 mins if you are aiming for 36. It's okay if people aren't aiming for 36 don't get it twisted but for players like me who want to test as best as I can with the units I got. It's a struggle when hoyo deliberately makes things more artificial and you need units that others definitely may not have.
For reference I have a lot of the meta units like Neuv c1, Furina, alhaitham, Nahida c2. kazuha etc. But that's because I played long enough and got lucky a lot too so my experience isn't the same as others anymkre due to my account being so strong as a f2p that people would consider me a whale
@@neo-zamatoYour comment is beautiful but the best thing is the last paragraph. You have invested vertically into few units. No matter how good characters they release in future, your vertically invested units will carry you and you will always be free to pull even slightly weaker units.
It is the f2p misconceptions content creators like Zhajef use to spread their propaganda of how you can 36 star with half ass 4 star teams. They make f2p players think Pulling for cons or weapons= Super bad when it is the best approach to play the game. They literally have C6 4 stars and r5 favonious weapons and f2ps think they give f2ps false hope that they can recreate the performance with their c0 Xiangling and c1 Xingqiu.
F2ps should pull for their favourite characters, pull for their premium teams, early cons and with weapon banner buff in 5.0 weapons too and play solid teams that can actually constantly clear the abyss no matter how much they ramp up the dps check.
People tend to exaggerate just how much Neuvillette powercrept the hydro DPS niche, not realizing that he is really a one of a kind character. Other hydro DPS characters (Ayato, Childe, Mualani) are reaction drivers, while Neuvillette gets most of his buffs from Furina or VV. If you ran the numbers, the difference between Mualani and Neuvillette teams is likely pretty negligible. It's just Neuvillette's simple playstyle and lack of competition that makes him appear so broken.
Agreed, his DPS style is different to all those nuke DPS characters.
They need to introduce another AOE sustain DPS like him to join his category
It’s not just number crunching. It’s the fact that neuvillette works in aoe and single target really well. He also has synergy with most supports in the game
One of a kind and the absolute best of his kind.
His DPS is different but it doesn't matter because the enemies are dead
Technically Lyney does more damage. But is he really more powerful?
I think the neuvi situation (him warping peoples perceptions of whats "broken") is similar to other gacha games e.g. acheron from hsr, jinhsi from wuwa, so i think ive gained a better understanding of neuvis situation because of the other circumstances, because people will doompost about other characters (as u mentioned) not being good enough, but in reality, theyre still ur "average broken dps" or even better, and seeing this pattern across just other gacha games that i enjoy sure is interesting
it's only fitting for them to make neuvillette stronger than the rest, considering he canonically is one of the OG inhabitators of teyvat, being a sovereign and all. so I wouldn't say mistake, rather it was intentional.
Agree
It was an intentional action with zero foresight , hence a mistake. They obviously intended for him to he strong and intended for him to be popular and bring in the big cash , but didn't have the foresight to predict that the absurd amount of shilling in the story would make many people dislike him, and that his ridiculous power level and him taking away spotlight from other characters would damage future unit's sales on top of everyone being just a bit more angry when a unit they were looking forward to is mediocre , because if Neuvilette is allowed to make a joke out of any semblance of balance this game had , then surely my waifu is allowed to be strong as well even if not as much.
The easy way to rationalize Neuvillette being as Op is to categorized him as we categorized the Archons being a subset of Genshin characters justified to be being exceptationally strong from the rest of the cast. Neuvillette being a Hydro Sovereign should be the benchmark for other playable sovereign characters in the future and not just any characters just like the Archons was.
By that logic, Zhongli should be absolutely cracked
@@NevertahnProduction I mean, he is now. He basically turns the game into easy mode. They needed to build new enemies that ignore def just to make him not overpowered.
I'm not sure if he's a mistake but I also don't have him. I've skipped him and probably always will. If you told me 70% of all genshin players really care about a character's power lvl I'd believe it. I'm in the minority. Power matters but only as much as their design weapon element and character matter. When Mualani was dripped I thought she looked cool I might pull but was then immediately turned off because everyone said she was a catalyst user. For me the redeeming quality was that I really like her VA so I'll pull her. Yoimiya is considered one of the weaker 5* dps units and she's a staple pick for me in my abyss teams with my other 2 main teams being Itto and Navia teams. With Genshin being as easy as it is you can kinda run who ever you want given you have enough investment and understanding of the game mechanics.
Yeah, I agree. For me, Mualani's pull value is almost exclusively because of her skill and the fact that I know a lot of people will want Kinich and Kachina stuffs, so it's nice to have the Natlan locator skill for QoL. The fact that she has vaporize utility that synergizes well with what I have is more a bonus on that.
As someone who personally despises his gameplay and outfit design (I understand people like it, it's just not for me), I'll never pull for him either. My account functions perfectly fine without him, clearing the abyss and imanginarium with ease. No character is a must pull. Artifact luck is king.
Fr. I really dislike Neuvillette, he's just another on-field 5 star that I don't need because 4 stars are more than good enough. He might be the best on-field DPS character, but you'll never get me to stop playing Wanderer on 1st half and Heizou on 2nd half.
I will say, I do understand the frustration behind Neuvillette despite not having him. Trying to discuss on-field DPS after his release has been equally as obnoxious as trying to discuss Anemo characters with Kazuha's existance. I've seen people call Hu Tao bad now, it's crazy.
@@marqkcWell you are on right track. The problem of Neuvillete is he discard other characters like Yelan and Xingqiu. Even some on-fielders can still share damage on-screen with quickswap like Raiden+Eula or Ayaka+Ayato... Neuvillete cuts the selective team members, even meta ones like Yelan to synergy with him.
If you pull Neuvillette, better just go with pulling his constelation to C6 as well rather than pulling other 6 DPS.
Weapon type not element
Hoyo seems to specialize in ensuring that somewhere, someway each character gets to really shine, so I think it's fine if Mualani doesn't immediately crush Neuvillette in raw damage.
Not super relevant, but lorewise, it makes sense that Neuvillette would be overpowered. Just like how all of the archons are the best at whatever the "point" of their element is (Venti = crowd control, Zhongli = Shielding, etc), Neuvi should be a top ranker as the hydro dragon sovereign. It also kinda makes sense that a dragon sovereign, something that was on Teyvat before the archons or humans, would follow slightly different rules than the humans who use the same element (even if he was technically reincarnated post-humanity).
I don’t know if they ensure such a thing for most characters. But, I agree. Mualani should have some time for players to work out the kinks before just throwing her in the bin.
idk bruh they kind of gave up on albedo
strong = mistake
mid = who cares
weak = unplayable

No, you can be strong, but not a mistake as long as your strengths don't eclipse characters in the same archetype.

That’s fair, he’s not for everyone. Still the GOAT tho
Wrong
Aside from the brain dead level of gameplay and some stans with huge egos he's a cool unit, hoyo made him too strong with little to no downsides which could potentially ruin future dps characters
Not really. He’s a good “get this guy if you wanna win” character, I think some games need that kind of option for the casual audience to experience the full game.
It’s like Mimic Tear in Elden Ring, do you need it to complete the content? No, but it’ll definitely help those who do need it!
Hoyo seems pretty self aware of how much of a corner they’ve put themselves into with power levels and are trying to compensate for that fact with yes, these new Natlan characters being more focused on mobility both to appeal to newbies/outsiders intimidated by the massive 5 year old map and to give the established players (who don’t have Kazuhya/Wanderer or Yelan) more reason to roll for new characters for reasons besides power.
And yet they still wanted to have that cake too or else they wouldn’t and tried pulling the stunt they did with nerfing Hydro pump. It’s nice to seem them spooked out of complacency after not having to give a shit since Zhongli

Honestly this is the saddest part for me. I probably would've loved to have this character but I frankly do not care.
How good can she be if hoyo felt the need to nerf Neuvillette to make her more appealing? The lack of confidence hoyo has in her REEKS. Why should I pull her if her state necessitated nerfing a previous character?
I mean I'm not pulling for meta, but like I said, the lack of confidence reeks. I mean hoyo has NEVER directly altered a character like this right before their competitor releases.
So she's just "that girl who is so bad they had to try to nerf previous characters to sell her." Rip to anyone who likes her, you have far more patience for hoyo bs than me. But she got the absolute worst marketing imaginable.
He’s definitely a mistake, he’s a damage dealer with practically no weaknesses. Reliable self healing, basically no down time for his dps window, doesn’t require really any specific units to function, doesn’t require any needs of grouping to handle AOE. And his only true “downside” being lack of IR during his charge attack is not only just a non issue in actuality, but is so easy to play around that it’s not even a real concern.
Ye he's definitely wayy too all rounded but to be fair I'm glad they let the hydro sovereign be busted, not some other random character. It would seem strange if they made mualani much stronger than him as lore wise she's nowhere near as relevant

Relating character damage to lore is very limiting in designing Future characters. At some point in the future, players will get tired of playing Neuvillette and imagine Hoyo having this mindset, refusing to release any other Hydro character that's stronger than him because of "lore".

Yes, of course he is a mistake. They made the "perfect" DPS. Incredible AOE, strong single target, extremely safe because of range, self heal and HP pool, easy teambuilding, absolute braindead gameplay.
Characters should have strength and weaknesses. "But why not just play neuvillette instead?" will always be the question when talking Hydro DPS, and that's just bad design.

I personally like Neuvillette alot, he's just so comfy in the overworld (tall male = run fast, self sustain, just E instead of doing a whole freaking set up) and makes hard multi wave abysses less of a burden to my mental. But I do agree that it's easy to get good damage with him and his existence hurts hydro and the game noticeably. But I just don't know why people compare characters to him, they are not in the same niche, element, don't have the same team nor play style, all of them can clear abyss, why don't just treat him like that one meme character like qiqi ( him being absurdly good instead of absurdly bad) and move on with life. Just pull for who you like, if you're already happy with your characters then why worry about who you don't have or don't like.
Sorry, I do not know who you had doing calculations for you, but Mualani's overall damage decreased a lot more than 15% over the beta... Also, Mualani is ridiculously overpowered and I already have her dealing damage on par with Neuvillette at level 50 with a level 20 weapon... I think the Genshin community needs a serious redefinition to their understanding of character strength, because I hear so many insane takes about characters being weak...

Mualani's case reminds me of Yoimiya's,
When she came out, Hu Tao was already the queen of Pyro and everyone was comparing them, saying that Yoimiya was a fraud and everything. But in fact Yoimiya was and always is a decent character, it's just that the competition have been going crazy on her.
To a point yes, but they are at least both more niche characters as they are mainly single target. Yoimiya was never more than the 2nd best at that niche, but neither her or Hu Tao were beating Xiangling in AoE either. Neuvi is a generalist who is easy to play, has self-sustain and is just good vs every type of content. More niche hydro dps chars would need to significantly outperform him in at least their own particular niche to even be worth considering picking up over him gameplay-wise.

Not to mention that Mavuika could potentially propel Mualani's forward vape gameplay even further. So yeah, the potential for Mualani can be quite high.
Combat being the focus for a lot of people is the real mistake if you ask me.
Genshin's main premise and selling point is being open world, which entails some combat yes, but mobility and field utility are also key aspects to it. Dozens of characters have zero move/field aspects to their kits, not to mention the number of artifact sets with non-combat effects in the game has remained the same since launch. (just one)
I hope the introduction of World Level 9 is a sign that they will get on that and bring the overworld to life...
the reason combat becomes an issue comes down to two areas the top one being the spiral abyss. with the enemy roster and blessing of the moon always changing, the fact you have a time limit that demands you kill really quickly (unlike the overworld where maybe you'll run into one timed challange that wants you to do it in under a minute), the fact you need TWO teams (making it so your "run through the world" team isn't enough) and i'm pretty sure spiral abyys enemies have higher health than overworld enemies. it is the embodiment of "post-game" team building. The second is certain events that also pull simmilar rules to the abyss (like the current natlan event which requires not only two teams, but they also need to be compatible with each trials requirements) and it starts to make sense why everyone is obsessed with combat. i've been playing since inazuma came out when my friends introduced me. one stopped playing because she doesn't have a lot of money and most of the characters she had were not compatible with each other (i think it was the base 4 and razor with razor being her best) she never got past liyue. my second friends still plays but can't do anything in the spiral abyss or events because he doesn't have money and only has 1 good team. if your trying to save money spiral abyss and events are the two main ways to consistantly get primogems. it's a vicious cycle. in my case i just go to floor 10 of the abyys and skip 11 and 12/ (11 because of the first chamber, i don't have any good crowd control teams ASIDE from Neuvillette so i can't do defend the leyline since i don't have a second team.) and as for events i go bare minimum.
Initially Genshin was promoted as an Open World *RPG* so of course Combat would be one of the main Focus aside of Exploring.
Element and Team System should tell you that much, and what would even be the point of Characters if Combat wasn't even important?
Might as well turn it into a Novel than Game.
The mistake here was that the fact Genshin lack of Focus.
This game try to appeal to as much audience as possible but fail to satisfy most of said audience hence how fanbase being all over the place, because they came for different interest.

He IS the Hydro Sovereign, he has all the lore reasons to be the most OP character.
For Dehya to be as weak as she is and for the 1.0 starter 4 stars as strong as they are, those are mistakes.
Lore =/= gameplay.
Powercreep is never a good thing.
C6 Clorinde > C6 Raiden. Clorinde folds the Shogun
Also remember that the 3rd top dps unit in the game is a dude who skips work to read books and a girl with a umbrella gun lore doesn’t give reason if that was the case then venti would still be meta
lyney? navia? mualani? why is miko a downgrade in most teams compared to fischl? and why does clorinde, if not more, does as much dmg as raiden? then we have ganyu who is a high risk and low reward character. they're making newer units more powerful to look more appealing compared to the older ones and it has nothing to do with lore.
Before people go rambling about powercreep in my replies, idgaf about it, it is present in every Hoyo and gacha games.
You guys missed the point that for Neuvilette's case to be OP is no big deal. Why not give the strongest lore wise playable character the strongest most braindead kit?
People even mentioning powercreep is so hillarious, like what is there to even fight with. The game is an explore and character collection. Go speak about powercreep in the 2 Honkai games thats much more relevant.
ppl acting like you can't clear content without neuvilette
Neuvi indeed spoiled us, main problem is that powercreeping too quickly will make all previous characters instantly obsolete, you cannot expect people to say "neuvillette is op" and next "neuvillette is mid compared to mualani", what about navia arlecchino and clorinde, they're already in the trash this way, imagine people like hu tao cyno wanderer etc. I understand powercreeping is a good motivation to make people pull for the character, but you should sell gameplay and aesthetics in the first place not how much the character can give you in terms of primos
I'll add to this saying that the higher you power creep the lower the previous characters become in terms of usability, You wouldn't want your previous characters to become obsolete, you would want them to be comparable to a certain extent so that people would want to get constellations. What even is the point of character X rerun, like tartaglia for example?
I come from a time where Razor was perfectly usable in the abyss and always got me close to 36 stars, around the time cyno came out, now I can't even expect it to clear 12-1 even with furina c1 and so on. This is wasted potential and wasted opportunities.
I believe that people should be confident to play who they want without having the fear of missing out on better performing characters, if one absolutely loves x character and wants to make it c6 that's 6 new pgs less than the next guy
People don't care about that. You say the right things, but people don't care about that. They want a brainless, one-button, and primitive character who will do everything for them while they sit and scratch their asses. Neuvillette perfectly satisfies the needs of the target audience of Genshin: turn off your brain, press one button, and smile like an idiot.
And the developers don't care even more. They don't care that most of the old characters have simply become devalued, as have most of the reactions, elements (hello, cryo element, we will remember you). The main thing for them is that people play brainless and unfairly broken characters.
I disagree with you on one thing. Powercreeping does not give any motivation to play new characters. It gives a reason to hate them. For me personally, characters like Yoimiya, Eula, Al-Haitham are much cooler because they have aesthetics, style, they are just interesting to watch. And characters like Neuvillette are just a tree with one degenerate button that doesn't have anything special.
And one more thing. Old characters are stronger than new ones. Give them what they lack and you won't need new characters. New characters only seem "broken" compared to old ones simply because the developers carefully licked them without giving them those artificial limitations or garbage kits that old characters have.
Yes he is strong but the mistake was not fixing his spin2win "mechanic" from the get go, w/o that he would just be a good dps character and not the only character you need for 90% of the content.
"I don't think we should expect everyone to 1v9 the way Neuvillette can"
Why not, Vars? What's wrong with wanting a character that is stronger than Neuvillette? Mihoyo didn't care about balance when they made Neuvillette, they allowed him to powercreep every single character in the game combined. But now that it's time to make female DPS characters, suddenly they have to be mindful about balance so that the precious husbando dragon god doesn't get powercrept? Everyone has to be held back so that Neuvillette stays at the top? Screw that. I want Mavuika to be the strongest hypercarry DPS in the game that completely destroys and humiliates Neuvillette, the same way Neuvillette took a dump on the meta for the last year.
I fully share your words. There must be justice in everything.
Can’t stand this “wow this character is very good! It was a mistake” type mentality.
Well, when in the same game there's a 1 man army character being so strong AND tanky WITH sustain you can run him alone in a team/reaction based game when there is also, at the same time, a dysfunctional 5* being so bad she's basically incomplete without constellations and literally worse than most 4*s...there is a problem.
My thoughts? Another dub for husbando fans like me since he and Alhaitham are the only meta-relevant male DPS characters who aren’t stuck to plunging
same. im just really happy we get cream-of-the-crop male dpses
I think he is, he's too strong (thank God he is cuz i don't wanna spend my life building a bunch of characters to clear the abyss when I can just use him)
1. Never take what the Genshin community online says too seriously. Most of them are like 14 years old and don't have developed brains.
2. Not every character has to be groundbreaking or more powerful than the last
3. Neuvillette being powercrept would be much more of an issue than the alternative. I expect a sovereign to be the strongest of their respective element purely on a lore level, it simply wouldn't make sense to have anyone stronger IMO.
4. We still don't have a hydro claymore user and I thought I'd use this opportunity to say wtf
Neuvillette simply got that 1.0 4 star treatment. He set the standard and future characters will be worse off for it as it seems like there's a damage output range that hoyo doesn't want to exceed
Considering we've gotten used to talks of how no support can beat Bennett, no pyro can beat Xiangling, etc... not only is it always possible (though way more subtle in genshin than in HSR for example) it will for sure happen at some point. Not everyone wants to use the characters just because of meta, which is why there's so much variety. I don't see a problem comparing dps units to each other even outside of their usual niche because... that also happened with Neuvillette. Technically even his dmg is "limited" in how you get his best self buffs. The problem more so comes from how they are compared. It's like raw dmg vs reaction dmg vs something like bloom dmg. I also don't think that the devs should limit characters based on old ones. Whales already can hit the dmg ceiling with wild builds; what's the harm in releasing stronger characters over time to allow players to use more variety, even if it buffs an already strong "broken" character? People say they will never make a better Bennett or Xiangling but... they also used to say that about Xingqiu... I'm personally not using any of those three but would gladly take replacements if I like the characters enough
I actually think that they likely nerfed Neuvillette because Sigewinne's burst movement seems like it used to be the same as his charged attack, and they didn't want her to have it so they retroactively changed it for him too. Technically they'd also have to remove the movement for Nahida if we are being picky. Timing was bad and could be somewhat related, but Sigewinne's movement is what makes me think it's that
Also, realistically I'm glad Neuvillette is "broken" because... there's a consistent disparity for some power levels in game for characters. People expected the archons to be super strong. People now expect harbingers to be strong (since we now know the smaller the number, the more power + the top 3 can rival gods... we canonically can't defeat Arlecchino as we are, etc). Dragon sovereign was something people probably didn't expect as a character category but making them the strongest in some capacity as exceptions should be fine because... it is lowkey expected and if anything gives them an excuse to come out with a ridiculously op kit just for fun. Acheron is probably the best example I can think of because her gameplay power matches her in game role as an emanator. And realistically she might not even be the strongest emanator we get because Nihility doesn't normally grant power. Imagine a future emanator (so not as easily power crept as the 1.0 type characters) that is actually granted power by their path (or the path they follow in lore but their playable path is different).
I honestly don't know what Hoyo was thinking when they designed him, Neuvillete didn't only take the whole hydro element, he took the entire DPS category, it just kind of kills my interest in pulling for characters. a single target? just hydro pump the shit out of it, one heavy attack doing Ayaka's burst level damage with a larger range, (and he can vape his heavy hits if you want to). AOE? Just spin, he has top tier single target damage while losing 0 dps on AOE cases, his range is larger than Venti's ult, C1 gives him super armor, so basically he has Zhongli and Venti in his kit.
I also don't understand hp scaling DPS characters, your standard Attack scaling DPS characters are standing on bennets circle, dodging attacks, risking getting one shot by enemies just to wish they can reach 80 percent of the damage Neuvillete does while just pressing on your left key, tanking every thing with his 40k hp, super armor and self-healing.
by the way, those hilichurl's wooden shields that can block projectiles from behind and above, can't block Neuvilletes heavy hit right in front of them😂
He was not a mistake, but me pulling for him was because Wriothesley seems to never be getting a rerun. And he's too easy to play, so he made the game boring for me to play cause there's no real challenge with him. Hence, I've stopped relying on him and am trying to play other characters that Imfind more fun like Clorinde.
Never getting a rerun? Yeah, get in line bud, there is a cryo hottie that hasn't come down from the mountains for 2 years now

so unfortunate that he’s SO fucking boring

Neuvilette is just as boring as all the others.
He's a bit easier but Genshin's gamplay as a whole is kiddie level.
@@manetarofl I wouldn't even call him easier to play since you have to control him and his aim, unlike a lot of characters that have auto aim and auto target and you just mash buttons.
@@stanysk Right? I meant easier because he has self sustain.
neuvillette is what Acheron did to Star Rail, badly influencing how people view DPS
11:36 what did he just sayyy?!!!!!!!!!
9:36 LYNEY MENTIONED
I feel like this is kind of misleading because if you look at most theary crafters they all say that it was a 40% nerf not a 15% one. I know it's kind of rude to say this but something must have been really wrong with those numbers.
It was a 40% nerf in short rotations but overall a 30-28% nerf.
@@AlwaysThirstys her most common teams back then were short rotations but even the 30% is way off from the 15%.
i think even tho there's gonna be 2 giant paint bubbles in abyss one haft gonna need another element than hydro :)
As a player who quit in update 2.6 and came back in 4.8, I felt the power creep like crazyyyy. I used to 36 star abyss, but now my mistsplitter Ayaka and wgs Eula can barely keep up. And characters like my Ganyu and Yoimiya are just too weak for abyss
The only mistake with Neuv, is giving him BOTH insane range and QoL.
If he wasn't able to move while shooting/charging, didn't have insane self healing, or limit his range/number of targets he can hit, he wouldn't be so omnipresent.
Just remove one or two of these things, and he would still be OP, but not spammable in every situation without hydro immunity.
But, who really cares at the end of the day? I didn't pull him, but other people enjoy him.
Mualani with nerfs still becoming top dps: 🗿🗿🌊
The only problem is she doesn't have team
@@Tempest27exactly, the point she doesn’t have a team, and still being this strong shows that when she does get her team, she’ll be busted 💀
@@Tempest27Technically Neuvilette also doesn't need a team 🤔
@@xenoemblem7 neuv doesnt need one but has his best team, mualani needs a team but doesnt have one yet shes still top tier shes going to be busted later on
@@Tempest27Mualini has a fully functional team. What are you even talking about.
Hoyo did not put a lot of thought when designing and releasing Neuvi. What did they expect when releasing a DPS character, that can heal, good AOE, wielding the best element in the game, without the downside of catalyst weapon?
Honestly, Neuvi was not a mistake by himself, its just ANY character that does not match up to him in terms of DPS, as easy to build, or have good AOE, The community will say that the character is not worth it, mid or downright garbage.
The most frustrating reason is that the Community IS right. If you are F2P or does not spend lots of money and wants to make the most of your wish, why would you pull for an inferior character? better just wait when Neuvi re-run.
He's the embodiment of hydro in the game,a random guide from a fire nation with a vision over powers him is just ridiculous, i like the game and its lore, and really hate it when they don't follow the lore of the characters
as a person who mains neuvilette, i pulled for mualani because her damage output is amazing, shes AMAZING for epxloration, and not to mention SUEPR fun to use
I always think other DPS like a sword/spear/other meele weapon, while Neuvi is a gun. Other DPS need stricter mastery from the wielder to pop off but give a gun to normal people and they already can kill a person with a single click.
I have sort of a reverse power creep issue personally, not that new characters are worse at a baseline but I've always vertically invested. I can't justify replacing my c1r1 hu tao and c4r1 yelan. navia is the most recent character I pulled and I did find her super fun at c0. but I find too many characters have big flaws like neuvulette even cannot dodge and would have to steal my zhongli unless I got his c1, sure he's top tier but he would be taking away from my hu tao who already clears everything insanely fast.. the cost of getting a character c1-2 and their weapon makes it so once you've already done it once it's almost not worth doing it again, I could spend less pulls to get c6 yelan from my current point than I would need to spend to get neuv and his weapon.
again to re state I don't think that new characters are bad I just think they cost so much that if you already have invested characters it's just as easy to go for more investment on the ones you have
while he remains a strong character, the arrival of Mualani introduces new dynamics that could challenge his standing in the game.
Not really because they are two different type of DPS.
Mualani should be compared to people like Navia, Hu Tao, Arlecchino as they are all nuke DPS types with high damage scaling
Neuvilllette doesn’t focus on high numbers but consistent attacks with a bit of self support built in.
They need to introduce a similar DPS style to Neuvillette’s for it to be a more relevant comparison
Nah
@@AmbroseVermillion Nahida and Raiden are already button mash and brainless team to play. Even better than Neuvillete that he can't tackle Hydro enemies. The archons can still be functional when the enemies are immune to their own elements except solo.
As Neuvillete user I can say that skill and hold your attack button makes life easier... My hands are happy...
People said Neuvilette was unplayable after has nerfs too lol
He was in fact clunky to play
Should've been left that way
We should take this a step further and ask - is Genshin Impact a mistake? To which the answer is - yes. It absolutely is.
The best opinion.
Hoyoverse should release broken support instead of another hydro dps. Why is there so many hydro dps anyway?
The thing is Mualani hasn't really reached her max potential yet
Since there's still a lack of Natlan characters she can work with
Also she cant really reach the max dmg that her burst can do since her NGG( Natlans Greatest Guide) cant reach max stacks yet in a rotation cause its takes 18/12 secs for the Nightsoul burst to active depending on the natlan characters present in the team
I Consider Neuvillette & Arlecchino the exception in this game and consider both equal...
they only vary based on player preference that's all
short answer: yes, neuvilette is a mistake
Sick, definitely gonna pull for more Neuvillette after watching this vid…..
This video was obviously made by someone who was disappointed about the Mualani nerf lmao
Same, I’m going for his C2 just because I love his charcater
@@AmbroseVermillion I'm joining too Neuv C2 soon 🎉
Just pull whoever you want, bad or good. I did that and i am happy with my decision. I mean, look at Ningguang being a 4* and Nilou being a 5*. It doesn’t make sense but Hoyo is Hoyo. A hydro sovereign losing to a cha cha cha girl is just another Tuesday for them.
I like to think that Nuevillette was not a mistake, his power is worthy of him being a dragon, I mean he is a freaking SOVEREIGN DRAGON.
Genshin is a team played game, releasing a character who invalidates that is not a good idea. The guy singlehandedly clears most content without needing other characters. Meanwhile Deyha was nerfed by the same team of devs. In the name of balancing they said.
He and Arlecchino absulutely ruined coop for me. Every other coop match I do always include a Nuivelette or an Arlechino. Normally I enjoy making different kinds of teams so, It gets boring after a while using the same teams over and over again you know..
Beta content poisons the mind. Can't believe people are crying about beta nerfs when Mualani released as a surfing nuke.
Literally hydro element had: nuke dps, aoe dps, mop killer, off-field dps, damage buff, burst heal, off-field heal, and some overworld exploration kits.
natlan characters relying on each other to reach full potential is a mistake. look at neuvie! you could pair him up with anybody else, or just different elements.
yall this is the acheron situation all over again 😭
But she gets no flack because she’s a strong empowered female character just like Arlecchino
Ah…I see what you did there
It is not, even as powerful as she is acheron has weakneses and need a team, neuvilete can solo abyss easy. Like people still plays kafka today because she and acheron are diferent.
@@Nunubotz2hydro enemies says hi
I already disagree. Nuevillette represents the "long-stretch" home. He IS the sovereign that the principles used to create the hydro throne for archons.
I think the mistake of Mualani was to compete directly with Nevillete in various aspect:
-Being catalyst
-Scale in Hp
-Being mainly a dps.
If she was other weapon then she would make good use of those who sucks because of their low attack.
Or if she had dual scaling of hp and attack, then she could have more variety of supports, directly making her teams more diverse
I might add that there are no claymore hydro users and just 1 lancer hydro 4 star. And she could have just used her surf board as a weapon, just saying...
She doesn’t directly compete with him because she’s a nuke DPS like Arlecchino and Hu Tao
I wouldn't know, mister Vars. I don't roll for dude characters no matter how powerful they are. I'll forever be in the proud 1% that doesn't own Kazuha and each time I skip him my smug gets a little bit stronger.
People are completely missing the point in the comment section… All the sudden they are talking about lore😭 Neuvi is definitely a mistake. He literally has zero weakness. Im sure hoyo will think of a way to nerf him indirectly. Just like how bennet is “nerfed” because of HP scaling character and boss that could 1 shot you with vaporise. I reckon it would be harder to nerf neuvi though.. Being strong isnt a problem in itself but the fact that he can output that much dmg with little downtime, can self sustain and can be used in many teams is overkill. Only going to make future powercreeping much worse
Yep, they did. And I believe they will introduce more ways to close the gap. Neuvilette have one issue I've been deling with from the beginning of the game: he uses charged attacks, same as Ganyu and Liney. This kind of damage is poorly compartible with the most broken supports and buffs, and this is intentional.
in the near future their will be a video titled: Why no one plays Mualani?
I think she’ll be similar to Lyney, where she can do impressive numbers and has some potential, but because she’s clunky to play, nobody cares and only a few people can get the max out of her
similar video about any hydro dps after neuvilete and that is the problem lol
Clunky to play? Dude are you okay?@3.16music
@@sunnypa7101 yes I am. Yes she is clunky to play and I’m not the only one who thinks that, if you don’t think she’s clunky I’m happy for you, for me she is
I highly doubt it. She’s hydro. Has high numbers. Has good interruption resistance for a c0 character. I mean, she doesn’t even have a proper team yet and look how well she’s doing.
I remember pulling Neuvi bcz of his design, back in 4.1 while risking my Furina guarantee, but I never expected him to get me 36 stars in abyss... before getting him, I never had the confidence to even touch floor 12 and here I am 36 starring every abyss since 4.3, 30 star at 4.1 and 4.2 (just bcz of this cool dude), also I am more confident to face harder challenges even without his help, bcz he got me rid of that fear and given his headstart on one chamber, I learned many team varieties on the other side and tried to do in my best time possible...
Also I kinda find him fun bcz he makes me feel like a whale player even though I am f2p.... Maybe I am wierd, I enjoy one shotting and dominating everything... Same reason why I pulled Arle and Navia... I guess I will get Mualani too, man 200k on her trial sheesh!! Also her personality is sweet, the archon quest made me like her more...
Acheron and Jinhsi run into the same problem for their respective games. Why pull any other DPS when you can vertically invest into eidolons/resonance chains in a broken overpowered kit that managed to dodge nerfs from beta due to dev oversight. Thus allowing a F2P to clear endgame content because they invested smartly by gauging a unit’s account value.
Its a bit early to say for jinshi. since wuwa has only been out for 4 months
Is Zhong Li too strong ? Yes because gameplay should match lore. Is Nuvelette strong ? Yes Is it a mistake ? Never. Will Capitano be strong ? He better be !!
Your videos butter My biscuits thank you

Nuevillette has to be overpowered. He's a DRAGON SOVERN cannonly stronger then humans and gods. It makes sense for him to be so OP.
"Lore strength correlates to meta strength" mfs when they find out Xiangling has no idea how to fight.

@@adar9236 Her burst animation is a literal bite from her shark with some comic text pop up, even Barbara has a more interesting animation than that.

"Tighnari just shoots an arrow"
Him being the best is thematically fitting. Sadly he is braindead easy.
It would be better for the games health overall if Alhaitham was the best. Considering he actually requires a level of thinking. Granted hes still top 3 and debateably top 2 so he WAS the best until Neuvillette and Arlecchino gave him competition.
No, Neuvillette is the best winner for the Hydro DPS. He will never be a mistake. Never.
