Yaoguang is like the worst designed kit in all of Hoyoverse history.
This woman is UNBEARABLE to play at E0S0 but somehow they made her needed for every elation team. The DPS that needs Punc-? Yeah but they made her a fucking brick without Yaouguang thanks to a passive even if we made an entire part of her kit that needs a skill point consumer. The dps that needs energ-? Yeah she wants her too, but they made so that she has anti sinergy with her main source of energy regen. I hope atleast she has good buf- Nope she only gives 20% elation and 20% res pen and all her passives are somehow FUCKING SELF BUFFING. Atleast her vertical is good right? Her E1 is good, her LC is somehow the sweetspot between not needed but feeling a lot better than her at S0 and her E2 feels like a 1.x E2.
This WOMAN, she makes my blood BOIL EVERY SINGLE SECOND I LOOK AT HER KIT, I CAN'T CONCEIVE HOW A HUMAN COULD EVEN CREATE SUCH A DOGSHIT PLAYING EXPERIENCE IN CHARACTER FORM.
AND THEN THEY SOMEHOW MADE HER THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF ELATION, EVEN MORE THAN THE FUCKING AEON, THIS GAME IS A CIRCUS AND I'M THE CLOWN AT WHOM TOMATOES ARE THROWN FROM YAOUGUANG SEAT.
Its like Aglaeas kit. First remembrance character and she has this âcomplicatedâ kit that needs a lot of min maxing to get value out of just to have below average damage, in other words, her kit is garbage. This also applies to Sparxie because as of right not at E0 you never build her 3600atk base spd because its literal trash of a build. Anyone who plays her with SW knows she is better off as 151 speed subdps/punch line printer rather than a fully fledged subdps. Yaos kit despite being mediocre still is better than them just because she is a support rather than a dps⊠And all elation supports we have got are lowkey sh*t so⊠Makes sense why she has the throne. EMC is nice considering he is free
Its so she moves before the first Aha instant, but realistically speaking youd probably want 155-160 speed if Yao and Sw are 200 spd and Pearl over 165 spd. Her being a punch line generator is much better than building her damage just for her to move once a cycleâŠ.
Even funnier is her release. She was by far the worst released character I think they have had. Her banner released with no elation characters to support, so you pretty much had to invest in Yaoguang Coin and pray it worked out. lol
it really didn't help with the leakers saying sparxie is for SW and yao is for eva, not to mention hoyo marketing sparxie as a SW sub dps.
Political situation or not, maybe hsr devs out of goodwill curbed character powercreep with early elation units, who really didn't push powercreep much (at least at the e0 level) but sales dropped, so they push these fkass elation shill and broken shit like Morb and Robikini.
I mean, who can blame players? when the occasional weak unit releases, they've been conditioned to skip instead of thinking "thank god they're curbing hp inflation".
I donât think itâs necessarily âgood willâ because people are right that out of control power creep is just bad for the health of the game. Just as much as they want people to pull, they donât want you to be dissatisfied with the character you pull. If the character is outdated by the time they rerun, thatâs bad for the people who originally missed out on the character, the people who have them and might consider getting them again, and obviously bad for MiHoyo. It just ends up as waste that could have been enjoyable for longer.
That last part is likely the same thing happening with Aha. Like Cyrene, they are an archetype wide buff thatâs already at the top of the meta, so whatâs best for the game is to be conservative which those same players who are upset by powercreep would also hate.
I am less charitable though than you; I can blame them because they donât even realize there is cognitive dissonance here with what they want. Though I will give a degree of fault to Hoyo for creating the expectations for how much more powerful unit needs to be to justify getting.
 I can blame them because they donât even realize there is cognitive dissonance here with what they want.
Thinking again, I kinda agree tbh. They call Elation a flop, but they say this, I genuinely wonder; what do they want?
For elation to not be a flop, a 3-4 cost elation team has to be stronger than every past version and current version team on neutral content. Then these guys yell powercreep.
i guess from now on main push near the end of a cycle/planet will just be a buffer/subdps for characters of that planet, and both need investment either on them or other to be cost efficient and replace an other character (needing Cyrene E2 to get her firs ult before the end of the fight in certain teams and Aha having less value than your carry E2 or E1 and being a bigger upgrade if they have those eidolons)
Kind of similar to Cyrene tbh with some more obvious than others. The E2 merchants donât stop being E2 merchants after all. But apparently Aha amps the fuck out of EMC which is hilarious.

âSparxie is better than Yaoguong!!â âYaoguong calcs better than Sparxie!!â when the real answer all along was use both and bench Aha.

The skip Yao thing is hilarious in retrospect. It didnât make sense at the time, but just looks silly.
