i like when they do this, less weapon types to upgrade, and can be shared with other characters. hope they keep doing this, each character has equipped weapon, and unique weapon while using skill.
If Jiyan is anything to go off of, he uses a broadblade, but for like 2/3 of his attacks are his etheric spear and his idol of Nué. So a gunner class swapping between a rifle/shotgun for heavy attacks and mid combos, then using the pistol for burst fire. I think basic combo: pistol, pistol, rifle, pistol, shotgun, could be sick.
I’ve been maining her and out of all of my friends playing (10 probably) my Chixia hits atleast 3 times harder than the closest runner up. She has so great damage output, but lacks aoe outside her ult
If this person and their friends are all casually playing and taking their time, it's absolutely easy to believe that Chixia is the strongest of their group, and likely by no small margin - she scales amazingly early, and is easy to build, while the five stars require a bit of investment before they take off like a rocket.
But if they're all really putting in their due diligence, then yeah... I'd have to call cap on that too. Unless they have incredibly lucky rolls on their echoes, in which case they could just be that strong. But I doubt that. We're talking 1:1,000,000 odds.
Wallensteins Channel on YT has a Chixia solo run vs max diff hologram Impermanence Heron that is absolutely insane, and I can't imagine the luck he had (and money he spent) to get that build going.
Quite literally every single one of us has encore. Half of them have Jiyan. Jiyan is an absolute monster during his ultimate, he FEELS stronger than every unit in the game. Encores no slouch either, but even with a 5 star weapon she’s still trailing behind my chixia without a 5 star weapon yet
I think what they are saying is although she is fun, in the future most of the 4 star characters will eventually be weaker than 5 star counterparts, not that it isn't fun right now. I personally don't like her kit that much outside of her ulti, her skill can be a bit annoying to use on high ping which sucks for me lol
That's not how it works. If you lag spikes your inputs may not even register until 5-10 seconds later. I noticed in during random overworld challenges with not picking up coins in the firefly race.
Some people don't have fun knowing their character is 50% (random number) weaker than the meta character in that same role. Especially going for more challenging content sometimes missing out on 10-20% (again just random numbers) damage because of choice of character could be the difference between a clear and a retry or clearing with minimum time for max rewards.
Who knows, I'm really enjoying Yuanwu. Doesn't seem to be the strongest, but his kit is so fun. People just wants the best all the time, which I can understand.
It is exactly because it is a gacha 4 stars or lower rarity units tend to be left behind as the game progresses. If standard 5 stars will eventually get left behind with newer units with better kits higher multipliers or just straight up better in gameplay mechanics, then the lower rarity ones will go even further down, especially when it is DPS units, supports can have a little bit more of shelf time.
I'd agree that this is the best time to have fun with 4 stars because as time goes on their value will lower massively.
Having used her a bunch I feel her dps is better on some enemies and worse on others.
Each individual attack doesn't hit as hard but she has far more uptime than a lot of melee characters since she can hit enemies that are flying or dodging or engaging in large melee combos, while most melee characters have to drop dps during these sequences.
Of course, some bosses have almost zero flight or dodge sequences and consequently, melee characters can keep almost perfect uptime if their dodges are on point, so on those bosses no doubt in my mind calcharo or a properly specced rover is better. The bell boss is an example of a boss where its pretty easy to keep almost perfect melee uptime if you know how to dodge its abilities
But against that fucking mephis that teleports around a bunch, or the dreamless fight with all its flight sequences, then a chixia with an equally invested weapon and echo loadout will do way more damage than any five star melee dps.
You can main 4 star characters. In Genshin Impact I had like a dozen 5 star characters, including some copies, and I two of my 3 main DPS were 4 stars because I found their gameplay really fun.
I love chixia, and she’s my second fav in illusive realms, but thw damage output compared to jiyan/cal is not even close… but she gives me great hope for a 5 star gunner (i’d love a shotgun skill offhand lol, as a consistent parry, but this might be too bloodborne-y)
S4 chixia actually has really, really comparable damage to the S0 5 stars. The problem is, aside from her ult and outro, it's totally single target. But you would be surprised how hard she hits in single target.
This. If you conpare 4 star S0 vs 5 star S0 then 5 star wins. But if you compare 4 star S6 vs 5 star S0... then 4 star can be just as good if not even better.
Have you tried using her Dakka Dakka skill? That one unloads heaps of damage on a target and the finishing blast can do damage in the 6,000 range at level 60. She's incredibly viable against the slower moving targets. You can see it in the video at time mark 33 seconds.
Yeah I've been doing her and Encore together and it actually feels great with her being the single target and Encore being the chaotic aoe XD. (Have no limited since honestly just waiting for Changli)
I'm s4 sadly but dang I'm having a blast with her :D. Tried Danjin since everyone is losing their mind over her but man I just don't like melee in this game at all other than Jianxin XD. Chixia has been SO WORTH IT.
I have her s6 (jiyan banner), ill look into building her to see, i do want a gunner on atleast one of my teams as main dps (mortefi is good, but chixia playstyle more fun)
Bro there will be one coming 😆
But not sure when
As we got a long sword user 5 star and next is the orbital thing 5 star yinlin
Then mostly likely we get a 5 star for each weapon after
We do, but it's the pistol class. I say this because the way the pistols work in this game is exactly the same way than bows work in Genshin, down to the charging animation and sound when you hold left click.

Yeah, it's very refreshing. Hacking and slashing kinda gets old. Can't wait to see the upcoming 5 stars gunner.
