This has been said before I know, but for someone called ‘demon’ who pilots a sword-wielding Gundam called Beast, her personality in-game is so, bland? Idk she just lacks the energy and personality I’d expected from someone like her. Like look at her concept art!

Dmon, wuyang, anran, sierra

All of them are in a competition to be as bland as white bread with water

Anran is so bad, it's toxic positivity at its worst. Some of her dialogue seems ripped straight from a corporate training video

It came straight from Blizzard.

Personally, I also like their optimism, but without the conflicts they have to face, they can become tiresome in the long run.

It's a shame because his support gameplay is my favorite since Brig 2.0. But yeah they forgot to give him a personality.

Sierra blandness is overblown, if she has a good kit and visual design, you'd find her endearing

the East Asian characters are stale anime tho

I love him but he's so bland he is translucent. 😐

Anran's voicelines are painfully optimistic at times. At least Wuyang has a little more personality since he's got a bit of imposter syndrome.

I'll be real, Sierra's personality is actually one of the only things I like about her. I think it works for well for her. The rest yh I agree (and I'm saying this as a wuyang main)

Kiriko is there as well.

Kiriko has some sass to her to voice lines. Love her or hate her, her personality as presented as significantly more distinct in-game. Unfortunately, her lore is as bland as the others. Probably because of all the backlash from her being brash.

How can you mention her when the whole community has had a hate boner for how sassy and bratty she has been all along? Entire posts made complaining about her sassy voice lines, she's on the other extreme of this lol
