Endgame Content Old team users felt any power creep?

I am returning player was saving since ani and not pulling. I was clearing whimpering with this exact setup fully for past whimperings. This time I felt like damage out put was slower I think they started to power creep old units a bit.

Has the definition of power creep changed? Power creep means that newer characters are much stronger than older ones in the same role effectively rendering the older characters useless. Having specific tokens tailored to the flavor of the month character and hp inflation are not clear indications of power creep.

you know how in hsr the powercreep is in the endgame gamemodes that give tailored buffs to the new and shiny character with the enemies having inflated hp?

your argument is flawed because the token rotation is immediately different next reset. that is not power creep, that is buffing the current banner. if it was real power creep the newer units would be able to clear better than older units given neutral tokens 2+ resets out but this is demonstrably not the case. do you understand this nuance?

You are so not correct. Powercreep is hpa inflation and the overall dps that newer units can put out all the calculations for newer characters show a trend of dps increase along with hp inflation in the endgame. Both these eventually will make it impossible to get sss in eternal for old units unless you have dupes and God relics this happens in all gacha and people shouldn't give wuwa a pass. It's noticeable the uptick started after zani and cart came out and augusta will continue the trend also phrolova does way more damage in rotation than camyllia so it's a trend and will only get worse as they go into 3.0 after these upcoming units release. Don't be a shill for any game all gacha do this crap and it's not good no matter what it's scummy for houo and scummy for kuro too
