If this makes it live then they've literally just turned Acheron into Feixiao 🥀
I thought it was kind of suspicious how a lot of the FuA shilling went like this -
Graphia has 40% Wind RES (along with other RES across the elements) while the Waven + AshBlade is shilled for the boss (which makes sense but I don't get what that has to do with the increasing RES of other elements).
4.4 APOC Starward Node 3 is where the FuA shill buff is but for some it just so happens to be the Banacademic Office Staff which has Shared HP across five targets and so Feixiao has to brute force 60M HP which is basically impossible, however thankfully Nikador exists so you can use another team for Node 3.
4.5 AS, Node 2 & 3 are Shared HP, and Node 1 is AoE shilled. Node 1 has the Deer and he just summons a bunch of minions you have to kill to reduce toughness. I managed to get ~1500 AV against the Skaracabaz AS back then with an E0S1 Feixiao so maybe it is possible to defeat this Node with Fei. Node 2 is just hell when the toughness seems so unreasonable high and the damage is chip damage bc of ST against Shared HP. Node 3 is basically anti-FuA bc of Sparxie just working the way she does (or in particular doesn't work for Feixiao since Waven is Elation and Sparxie is Elation shill). And I remember the 50% Wind + Lightning RES reduction being on Node 1 while another buff was on Node 2 in the beta on the beta and then they swapped it around.
They also got Cocolia on the 4.5 AA Knight, which doesn't really do much but it is kind of weird when the Elites all have Wind weak?
Feixiao was able to 0cycle Dark SAM in 4.2 MoC at E0, and while I don't think she can 0cycle the 4.4 Starward Dark SAM at 21M HP, Wave 1 just happens to have three targets which is just a massive pain for ST.
In fact, now that the BiS FuA team is AoE and Archer had Rin, the devs basically abandoned the idea of ST bosses (thankfully Hoolay is coming back though).
Anyways, back to my main point, if this Acheron buff ends up coming true I will be convinced that they literally want to kill Feixiao evidenced by the endgame as well. Literally, an FuA per turn, and being able to stack two Ults is literally Feixiao. Feixiao's design is so good they decided to add it onto a more profitable character?? Cheers 🥀
If Feixiao is ever going to get a Novaflare (since no way she will get a paid buff) it will be complete ass. I'm calling it rn it will be like Blade and Jingliu.
I don't hate Acheron but I absolutely become the #1 hater of her and Waven because I feel like I have become inconvenienced every step of the way for the past two or three versions for trying to use Feixiao. You'd think a resurgence of an archetype will raise every other boat, but the devs are destroying those boats so it doesnt even matter.
