I was going to C6 Raiden, but I changed my mind. Genshin character review!

I love how you narrate your own experiences and feelings and I liked the twist in the end. I also felt like I had to at least C2 my Nahida or Shenhe cause they are my favorite 5 star characters but clearing the abyss with my favorite teams (not the meta ones necessarily) and with some struggle makes it more satisfying in the end. I still have a long way until I 36 star the abyss but gotta enjoy the journey. Also I love your aesthetic and editing in the videos. 😊

As a "skill issue" player, I am slightly tempted by these massively powerful constellations, but as a late game non-abyss enjoyer, I feel like I'll have more fun with a wider variety of C0 characters. It's an interesting tension.

This video is a really healthy dose of discussion this climate for a gacha game needs. Naturally those going for Cons, weapon refines are what help sustains the game for company benefit. On the other (and much important) hand, the hype setting novelty that the gacha atmosphere make for Cons, doing 'justice' to your favorites and just wanting faster taste of power with bigger numbers really needs to be reflected upon. Being someone who joined at the start of Inazuma, I've come to see constellations, for many, as a means to bypass the hells of the artifact grind when it comes to their favorite 5 stars. (Of the DPS variety anyways.) That alongside of the peer pressure dialogue you've made note of really can prey on the bad spending habits. I'm glad you've managed to keep a level head, and in kind, using the platform to also share that wisdom. While I believe it's a good point that people should do to make them happy, I always picture that a good bit of the time, people don't really know what they want until they have it. Videos like yours are some welcomed clarity. While I'm not gonna knock folks who want to prolong the games longevity, I'd like to see it be a more conscious, more reasonable choice compared to letting excitement cloud their judgement. Thank you for taking the time to create this piece. Ya got my sub.

I always thought that this game is not pay2win but rather pay2notplayanymore. Once you can just one tap everything including the Abyss, what is there to do in the game?

wow this is an insanely well produced video. I only just got recommended this video and im surprised you don't have more subscribers.

This is sooo relatable!!!! I started playing genshin because of her and fortunately got her on her first banner. I had so much fun playing her!!! I really liked her voicelines especially the Ei ones and her burst. So I waited for her rerun and got her at c3 luckily. But by then I almost already had good built team and could clear abyss. At first c3 Raiden felt like such an upgrade!!! But then after sometime I felt like there's not really much to do in the game anymore. Boss fight was soo struggling at 1st but it had become so unenjoyable suddenly. Now the only thing I look forward to ingame are the new character banners and archon quest. It's really bad all the fun of playing the game went poof 😢

C6’ed Baizhu and never and wont ever regret cuase I luv him🥰♥️I was about to do it with Raiden but her c3 enough c4-6 not giving any thing at all

I really like the way you do character reviews. They have so much more personality than just listing the typical builds and teams. Hearing about your personal thoughts and feelings about each character and their story is a great watch

When it comes to cons, there are some I do want, like Neuvillete, Furina, Yae, Wanderer, since all of them happens to be my current favourite characters. But I don't feel compelled on getting C6, since 1-my luck is lackluster and 2- most c1/c2 do their jobs well enough. As for a character being too powerful, i've experienced recently with Neuvi (c0r1) when I saw him deleting a hilichurl with just his skill, which is why I'm prefering to let Furina's pets do the dirty job in the overworld.

Wow, you made me think that, maybe if i get Waderer's c2, i will probably won't enjoy this game combat at all...If i already feel the game is easy, then i will be brainded at that point. I feel that neuvillette c1 is definitively the closest thing in my account that makes me think about this. Really nice video!

This appearing in my FYP a few hours before her rerun drops haha. I have C2R1 and initially planned to C6 but honestly Raiden C4 to C6 isnt even that good! That's what made me comfortable with skipping them despite her being my favourite character. At C3 she is basically perfect, the only reason to spend more to get past that is to be able to say 'I spent more' and thats not reason enough. I liked your point about the easiness of the game in regards to cons. However when it comes to Raiden, she is so powerful in lore and such a scary presence at times, she is the one character that I am happy to just insta-delete my enemies. Interestingly I also C2'd my Furina for her to be able to insta-delete things as I felt she was mistreated in the story and by the characters. Seeing her ruin everything makes me happy because at least on my account she can be as powerful and in-the-spotlight as I had hoped she would be in the main story. We need more endgame content fr

I love all the ways to build Raiden. Really makes you think and look at both your team compositions but also what artifacts you have. Thanks again for such an in-depth character video! Cannot wait to pull for my C0 Raiden soon!

Truly. My main team is Alhaitham,Kazuha,Kuki, and yelan. Everything dies before i can even get to alhaitham in the rotation. I remember when being able to 2 shot the ruin gaurds on the liyue island was a giant milestone.

I only have one C6, that being Eula. She’s my favorite character in the game and I said I would only C6 one character.

That's a great philosophy for gacha games in general - especially when like Genshin they can turn much easier over time. I really like how you put it in this video. I prefer to spend my effort on 'bad' characters to bring them up to the level of the 'good' ones - rather than improve the 'good' ones to a level that both trivializes the game and make the 'bad' characters look unplayable in comparison!

the only two i'd ever c6 are Furina (bc i love and adore her), and Xiao (also because I love and adore him, but also his gameplay completely changes at c6)

I'm still tempted by her spear, even though I have a decent crit build with Homa and a fantastic hyperbloom build with Ballad of the Fjords....... but the weapon banner is evil 😂

Started 4 days towards the end of Wrioswesly/Venti banner, Raiden was my very first limited character to have and I went all out on her. I did try to pull for Furina but lost to Dehya at 8 pity. Whille I can get Furina guarantee, I decided to save it for Raiden. I absolutely love her design and gameplay. The adrenaline and satisfying feeling of her bursting just makes her so fun for me to play despite how simple and easy her kit is. So far, I got her from unowned to C2 despite of losing 50/50s to Tighnari and Diluc after getting her C0 and C1. Rn she's using the Catch and I don't planned on getting her sig weapon until Genshin changes their weapon banner to be like Hsr. I run her with C4 Chevreuse, C6 Sara, and C2 Xiangling and I got to say, this comp is really fun to use! Genshin needs to bring more harder endgame content as it doesn't really have one for years. I planned on getting her C3 also and call it done for her since it's technically her "c6ing" her and I like that you can reach it that early. I really like her a lot after toying with her for awhile and she became one of my most favorite character in Genshin. My next five stars are Furina and Hu Tao as they're in my top three of wanting the most alongside Raiden. After that, I'll see who I want next.

It took me a year in genshin to realise that 1. "Meta does not exist" > due to non-competitive & casual endgame aka abyss where anyone (except dehya😳) can get 36 star given time. 2. "36 stars/perfect clear gets boring quickly" > It's more fun to have a dark souls vibe to the abyss where I have to curate teams to specific chambers and still struggle to get 36 stars barely passing with adrinaline rush. 3. "It's A side game" > Playing max 30mins to 1 hr infrequently without worrying about missing meta chars Is more fun for long term enjoyment of this game and real life in general. Finally I deleted my meta account and now enjoying a casual account with a cup of tea ☕ just relaxing and enjoying the community and regular updates infrequently 😊

Watching this knowing I’m getting my C3 Raiden tonight xD
