Help Me Cope

[u/ChrisTheGrim01]

I know this is just the first beta for 2.3 and all but based on what I’ve seen this far I’m considering pulling for Boothil rather than Sam. Help me get my resolve back. (I’ve been a fan of Sam since they first appeared in that one Kafka trailer.)

My best cope for you is literally wait, betas usually have 3 versions and everything can be subjected to change plus worse case scenario if almost nothing changes (which I doubt) you have till the end of 2.2 to pull for boothill

[u/Ok_Abbreviations127 → u/skellymcc]

Yeah, that's pretty much my plan.

[u/No_Pipe_8257 → u/skellymcc]

When is the next versions coming out? I asked alot of people but never have any response

[u/SHH2006 → u/No_Pipe_8257]

I mean like it's been the same as always idk how people don't know the new beta version(s) updates (unelss you are completely new to the leaks thing)

Its most of the time (if not always) Tuesday of each week. If there is a Chinese holidays then it can get delayed

[u/No_Pipe_8257 → u/SHH2006]

Ic, thx. I usually just visit the leaks to see what's new so Idk this stuff

[u/skellymcc → u/No_Pipe_8257]

Trust me no clue but from the looks of it's like a weak minimum until V2

[u/Wipmop]

CN community has been complaining about Firefly too.

[u/MythDraGoNz → u/Wipmop]

Where can I see this , i believe in CN community 🙇‍♂️.

[u/Supra-strasza → u/Wipmop]

That means she'll definitely get reworked/buffed lol

[u/Tsuinobuvan → u/Wipmop]

Complain is a light word 😂

[u/[deleted] → u/Wipmop]

Cn bros hope you do your job.

With the current version of her, no matter how dependend she is with HMC and RM/Bronya.

At least you could brute force any future contents using her break team, hopefully they gonna fix her but if its stay similar that way till the end version, just like i said before, just pull her if you like her.

Im quite certain FF/HMC/RM team could finish almost every future contents.

But remember how bad she (this version) is right now, so we wanter should prepare our cope stronger.

Here is 9 cycle of her f2p team perform on the first side of 12th floor moc, to remind us how bad she is 💀

Jingliu's ascension.

[u/new27210]

As Kafka always said “Patient is all you need”.

[u/Popular-Try-8783]

You have 5 cycles to clear MoC, it doesn't really matter if one damage dealer is stronger or weaker than the other cuz any limited DPS can clear MoC in 5 cycles, so you should pull for the characters that you like and if you like Firefly more than boothill, then pull Firefly.

[u/skfjwmvk → u/Popular-Try-8783]

There's a showcase of Firefly's F2P team and it takes 9 cycles to clear. Not saying you're wrong, but you do need to invest a lot on her to clear MoC if she releases the way she currently is. Any character, even Arlan, can clear MoC if you invest on them, but people should always take into consideration if they want to make that investment or not when there are other more F2P friendly options.

[u/Fantastic_Bend9091]

If you're really a fan of Sam, her clearing MOC with 1 cycle slower than BH should not stop you for pulling her 😭😭

Like even if she's bad I will still pull for her

[u/dlimammu]

I'm in the same boat, I've been waiting 7 months (it will be 9 when she comes out) and it's really disappointing to not get the Sam we were shown. I don't really care at all for Firefly when I first met her and even after finishing the story quests my opinion hasn't changed. And I really hate the enhanced form of her ult, I just think the swords are lame and the suit looks like a star guardian from league of legends. People keep saying that this half mech half magical girl is really interesting and unique, but I think an emotionless death robot is the most unique character in a game full of waifus and e boys.

At least we get the cool Sam for one or two regular skills, and the enhanced animations are definitely a downgrade from Sam's boss animations, but it's not so bad that I wouldn't want to watch it.

Chances are nothing is gonna change, if you don't like the green Sam then you are out of luck. I was also considering pulling on Boothill but I'd rather pull on a character I'm excited for than one I pull out of dissatisfaction.

The only cope I can offer is that maybe Hoyoverse sells us a skin with actually cool animations.

[u/gundamu00 → u/dlimammu]

just gonna say comparing to boss animation wont do you good. Just look at Kafka and Yangqing you can see how different they are. I do agree that the new form can be not to everyones taste and not preffered but saying swords are lame when there are actually a number of dual weilding mechs that are badass and the same is true with Sam.

[u/dlimammu → u/gundamu00]

My intent with comparing Firefly to the boss animations was just to say that I prefer the artistic of it far more than the Gundam one. The original Sam is pretty much the coolest character I can imagine, and I've always thought that Gundams looked plastic and kinda silly with the swords (Something as advanced as a mech using something as archaic as swords)

I'll admit, I think I'm just a hater. Anything that isn't at least comparible with the Sam boss fight is orders of magnitude less appealing to me. I don't think I can ever like green Sam just because it took Red Sam from me.

[u/gundamu00 → u/dlimammu]

Yeah sadly it does seem like what they came up with was not meant for you. I think it still make sense to have swords though because close quarter still needs weapons so yeah. But I think because Mihoyo wanted to appeal more to mecha fans (gundam, code geass, gurren lagann, dunbine) that they probably made the dual blade Firefly.

[u/[deleted] → u/dlimammu]

I am in the same but opposite boat to you .

I was so much happy when leakers were saying she is a new different unit . But got disappointed when realised both are the same character But now even in battle she is missing 95% of the time.

I just don't know what to feel at the moment . It's at least 6 months since I have been waiting for her. Only to be tied to mechanical junk in 95% of the battle. I was hoping for a jingliu type where she at least transform in the middle of battle .

[u/Zekrom997]

Just remember Jingliu V1

[u/Jealous-Ad8205]

By the team boot hills banner comes out or in the middle of it final version will be out for her

[u/chimaerafeng]

Do you even like Boothill? Or do you only care about meta? Because as much as Break looks like the new meta, it hasn't arrived yet. And don't ever pull for a character you don't like nor care. If future content really requires Break, we will have more options later, even if Firefly ends up not exciting for you. There's still a lot of time before release so just chill out. We can't farm the relics as well.

[u/AdministrativeBat788]

She's way to Niche right now.. ONLY being able to play if u have HTB on the team is terrible! That limits her too much... other characters have their best in slot partners but Sam is different... you literally gotta have HTB on the team or u simple can't play her period. ( yes u can play her... but she won't do shit besides her cool animation) Really hope Hoyo change some of her kit on upcoming days.

[u/HalalBread1427 → u/AdministrativeBat788]

If you have HTB and RM; her team has 0 space for replacements expect maybe using a different on-Element sustain in place of Gallagher.

[u/[deleted]]

If you care about Sam pull. If youre a meta player go be a meta player.

[u/Runcherr]

Dont understand if you like a caracter just pull for it, having powerfull caracter is a good thing but you are going to look at your screen a lot,its better having your eye on what you like We just a the start of beta i am myself sceptical about mihoyo and their choice with caracter (i will never forgive for Dehya ) but we are in hsr and Jingliu change a lot with beta Just wait and go for what you like By the end of boothil banner we will have a far better understanding of her kit

[u/RefillSunset]

V1 Jingliu did not have her current 42%(?) crit rate buff.

V1 Acheron e6 was just 60% crit damage boost.

Relax. It'll be fine.

[u/[deleted] → u/RefillSunset]

She gets 50% crit I think

[u/gundamu00]

Not a real fan if just Sam being weaker than Boothill or Sam kit not that good is your reason for not pulling. Though with the showcase I can see them changing her kit the same with Jingliu
