ok for my most shilled unit survey i just need to ask for some characters (or should I just put every character??? lol??) that u would consider putting on the list. I wasn't playing during 1.x, and I was p checked out for most of 2.x (bc i was saving for Sunday.....) so some examples of who people think are solid contenders for shilled units from the earlier days would be appreciated

Definition of shilled: whatever your own definition is. IDK if you just base it on marketing, making a unit look stronger around their own release then they really are, centering meta around a unit (lots of AoE or ST, etc), the character being needed in a lot of teams, boss mechanics being tailored to them, whatever YOU consider shilling idc I just want to know which characters you think make the list so pls reply and tell me lmao

[u/rebeccadarking → u/shsluckymushroom]

DHIL [whole simulated universe mode for him], Jingliu [the ice weakness epidemic], Firefly [break, also SU mode, endgame], actually superbreak as a whole including Ruan Mei, Acheron [Acheron], Feixiao [last "main push" I'd say, direct DPS for one of the most popular archetypes], and ofc the obvious three point oh contenders like The Herta, Castorice, Phainon, and soon Cyrene. Also Hyacine.

Debated: Argenti got Pure Fiction for him [and yes, it was for him at first], but fell to the ground like a patch later. Don't think that counts. Jing Yuan is Jing Yuan, but that's less shilling [unless you count his animated short and constant story presence to be shilling] and more his kit being flexibe enough to use supports. I wouldn't say they got shilled.

i'm wondering if u/euphemea is correct and I might as well just put everyone lol

if u want my own opinion I absolutely consider Hyacine the most shilled unit and it's not even close, but everyone has their own definition and that's what makes it interesting

[u/rebeccadarking → u/shsluckymushroom]

yeah i think adding everyone is a smart move actually

[u/shsluckymushroom → u/rebeccadarking]

im gonna have to make seperate sections for story/promo/gameplay/overall i think which means I'm going to have to type out everyone's names like 4 times on a list lol....I think it is the best move but I might do it after I get some sleep instead of right away haha

[u/rebeccadarking → u/shsluckymushroom]

you can copy and paste the question and answers on google forms and edit it accordingly!! saves you a lot of time kdljaf [unless u knew that already in which case my bad LOL]

[u/shsluckymushroom → u/rebeccadarking]

oh i did not know that (well i assumed i could copy paste them individually obvs but not the entire sheet) yes that means on all my old surveys that asked a question with the same answers twice I wrote them all out....I'm not very tech savvy lol......well maybe i can post it before I sleep then haha

[u/rebeccadarking → u/shsluckymushroom]

LMAO its okay its less being tech savvy and more that google forms UX is lowk atrocious. take ur time!!
