Yeah, that was my immediate sort of reaction. “People hate her? I figure they just don’t think about her.”
Akikala2026-01-08 16:09
She had PLENTY of people hating on her when she was revealed and released. But yeah after that most people just mostly forgot/stopped talking about her.
hisai962026-01-08 16:50
>She had PLENTY of people hating on her when she was revealed and released
Isn't that every single character ever released tho?
Akikala2026-01-08 17:07
To an extent yes lol.
But some characters got considerably more than others. Mavuika, Varesa and Emilie for example had a lot more (or more vocal) haters than usual.
hizashiYEAHmada2026-01-08 17:08
Was it because of that time that the concept arts for Emilie also got leaked and everyone saw the other designs that they liked better compared to the one released?
Akikala2026-01-08 17:30
That was definitely a big part of it or at least that's what many people used a reason for their hatred of her. Many people also just didn't like her design (not sure if it was related to the concept art stuff or a separate reason). Some people didn't like her because she wasn't super OP and was only a slight upgrade for mainly Kinich.
FallacyDog2026-01-08 16:13
People hate burn. And by extension,
Me_to_Dazai2026-01-08 16:16
this was my first thought lol can't really hate her if you forget she even exists for 99% of the time when you're playing the game
uskonpuhdistaja2026-01-08 16:27
I was on a break when she released, I'm not sure if I've ever seen her in the game... She isn't quite the only nonexistent character though, there are a few that almost come to mind but I can't remember their names
Sean_The_Pawn2026-01-08 16:41
The only hate I've seen of her was towards her design back when she was first revealed, but I think that was because people saw leaks of her concept art first and was expecting something different, which is stupid to me because concept arts usually never reflect the final design of a character (it's called *concept* art for a reason)
Personally, I really like her. I like her unique occupation of being a perfume maker that's also a forensic investigator, and I *really* adore her English voice with how deep and almost tomboyish it sounds. Plus I used her a lot with Dehya in my early Natlan teams with burnvape Mualani
Whitakker2026-01-08 16:56
She's my Dehya's best buddy now
Turnonegoblinguide2026-01-08 18:06
The two biggest criticisms I’ve seen are the boob sock fabric on her chest (but that’s a recurring thing in Genshin anyway) and that her original color scheme was better, which I tend to agree with.
XxLadylikexX2026-01-08 21:18
I really like her design in general other than her top. But I really wish they utilized most of the themes in her design more, like the haircut and the long skirt with the slit, really pretty design aspects that were done once or twice and never again😭
karillith2026-01-08 16:48
I have her as part of my main Arlecchino team and even then I often forget her existence.
TunaTunaLeeks2026-01-08 16:58
Who?
PItwink182026-01-08 20:36
If you're in r/kinichmains you see constant hate on her, that she's a waste of pulls, and that she's a waste of a slot in kinich teams since she doesnt buff him. Constantly people are saying "here's why Emilie is not BiS in a kinich team" when all the calcs say otherwise. Meanwhile, she's in my kinich team, she's in my wrio team, she's in my mualani team, and she's in my Lyney team.
Prestigious-Elk12742026-01-09 04:53
Wait r/kinichmains is now banned?
Koniolg2026-01-08 16:10

Prestigious-Elk12742026-01-08 16:15
Yessss!!
oof-eef-thats-beef2026-01-08 16:32
Wait what prophecy?
Koniolg2026-01-08 16:45
lmao there were some sus leaks like more than year ago about dottore dying by burning or something, so people started joking about Emilie being the one who is going to kill him
Fabio909892026-01-08 16:10
Yeah, her. Also Rhinedottir.
Kimy_Miya2026-01-08 16:12
Mavuika! Because hating her saying "she's too perfect" is pretty unreasonable to me, ofcourse that's the point! She's the only human Archon for a reason. Furina is an example, she's the "perfect human".
As for her design, it's good but out of place. But overall cool,
Melodic_Matter_95052026-01-08 16:18
When people say “she’s too perfect” what they mean is “she’s incredibly boring”.
PandiTati2026-01-08 16:31
By all means I love Mavuika, but saying she's the only human archon is wrong when there were 2000 years of generations after generations of human archons thanks to Xbalanque ensuring the title will keep passing from mortal to mortal. If other archons weren't taking thrones for so long, humans also would have a chance to take archonhood over other elements. In the end, by Venti's words all vision bearers are allogenes - people with the potential to ascend to Celestia and become gods themselves
Senior-Astronomer3122026-01-08 16:12
Most people don't even remember Emilie exist, and the ones who remember her is because the meme between Emilie and Dottore lmao
Environmental-Map5142026-01-08 18:40
I remember her because she's the goat lol
I use her in Stygian a lot <3
lemondemoning2026-01-08 16:13
dottore !! yes hes a terrible person and no i cannot fix him but thats the appeal !!
edit: okay some of you seem confused LMAO. dottore is an intriguing character to me. i dont care for the surface level good/evil analysis genshin usually tries to push in its story and i dont care that dottore is an ''evil person who youre supposed to hate''. his morals, or lack thereof, and his behaviors are interesting to me.
some of you cannot like a character without agreeing with their every move and its concerning!
WWWWWWWVWWWWWWWWWWW2026-01-08 16:27
im saying, its like genshin players have never heard of the concept of ppl liking villians even though villians tend to be the most popular/iconic parts of many different forms of media. some ppl really need to be reminded that none of the characters are real
Vonmoondk2026-01-08 16:40
>some ppl really need to be reminded that none of the characters are real
Erm that's not the issue here. Idolising evil is bad whether they are real or fake.
WWWWWWWVWWWWWWWWWWW2026-01-08 16:46
no one said anything about idolising lmao. liking an evil character is not the same as idolising and wanting to be them? thats like saying people who play shooter games want to committ shooting irl/are glamourising irl shootings - which obviously isnt the case
you can very easily like a charcter, like their story or their delivery or their personality, without wanting to go pretend to be them irl and do what theyre doing in real life?? atleast i believe that most normal, sane people can.
ion4772026-01-08 17:20
Genshin fandom suffers a severe lack of villain kissers...
oof-eef-thats-beef2026-01-08 16:31
Hes a great villian. I absolutely despise him - and thats why hes great. Youre meant to hate him.
God media literacy, RIP
Bad_muffin802026-01-08 16:38
“Hate him” with boundaries instead of acting weird and harassing his fans

Aseel_0_02026-01-08 18:53
Are we really meant to hate him?
Vonmoondk2026-01-08 16:38
Having a crush on evil people/character is weird af.. you need to fix yourself first.
rokirokino2026-01-08 20:18
dottore's a cunt, that's exactly why i like him. i absolutely wouldn't like him if he was a real person, but he's fictional and everything evil he does is contained in a fictional universe. rhinedottir is similar to me, though they have really different methods and motives.
i don't know why it's now seen as bad to like evil characters; when a villain is well written, people are gonna find them interesting.
LetEdgeTheseLords-2026-01-08 16:13
Probably Varesa, on her release a lot of people hated her design and that she was 5* instead of Iansan (partially including me), but I got over it after some time (the fact that I'm also a fat fuck makes her more rel)
hera-fawcett2026-01-08 16:56
ngl theres just too much feederism shit w her for me to actually enjoy her. every other thing is her, eating an insane ass giant sandwich plus three other meals, and characters being like 'omg??? thats insane ur so cool!'
shes super cute and idm her wrestling schtick or her weeb tendencies
but damn the feeder shit just keeps me from actually liking her.
__breadstick__2026-01-08 16:14
Mavuika. I don't care if she's out of place or a Mary Sue or whatever else, I think she's cool. Fun to play too.
Vonmoondk2026-01-08 16:40
And pretty
__breadstick__2026-01-08 16:56
Absolutely
Akikala2026-01-08 17:35
>I don't care if she's out of place or a Mary Sue or whatever else
Good thing she is neither lol. People just don't know what "mary sue" means (or understand Mavuika as a character at all) and their idea of what Natlan or genshin should've been is just that, THEIR idea, not the reality.

TheIJDGuy2026-01-08 17:17
I enjoy disliking him, he's a good villain
katbelleinthedark2026-01-08 17:39
He really is! Refreshing to see someone who's in it just for his selfish academic reasons and not because of a grimsad past.
Vegetto_ssj2026-01-08 18:40
Maybe Im skipping things, despite I like Dottore for his design and characterization, I don't find him a true presente villain.
Is more the off-screen and lore cats he did thatn his actual presence on the GI story.
He isn't giving the same feeling that Lygus gave me this year, an omni present villain that was really good to make nervous characters and players.
For Dottore, I need more AQ patch, with more screentime. In my country, some of us think he needs atleast 2 patches as villain (this and the next one)
cinammon-2026-01-08 19:26
Same!! He’s very much hated but he’s such a cool character
dragosslash2026-01-08 16:21
Mavuika. Loved her story, design is 10/10, and has really innovative game mechanics. She's be my favourite character, if it wasn't for Raiden being the absolute best girl.
Stat-Pirate2026-01-08 16:38
The community hates Mavuika?
dragosslash2026-01-08 16:43
A very vocal minority, which makes it seem as if it's bigger than it actually is, but they will surely always remind you about their hatred.
Prestigious_East_5132026-01-08 16:52
By and large no, but she sure is the most polarising one and that's a hefty title given what Raiden Shogun and Nahida were subject to in their heyday.
PantheraAuroris2026-01-08 18:54
"she has a dumb outfit" "she shouldn't have beat Capitano" "why didn't she die instead of Capitano" "she's a Mary Sue"
I love Mavuika but the community hates her.
loadedhunter30032026-01-08 16:57
We have the exact same preference in characters, god I hope raiden gets a buff soon

Nah, she's cool because I use overload team and shes good in exploration
TunaTunaLeeks2026-01-08 17:00
I don’t understand the strong hatred a lot of people have for her. My only real annoyance with her is that she’s the 5* from her tribe and not Iansan but even that’s very minor. At least they’re BOTH extremely good and Iansan is a top tier 4*.
MsTea0324032026-01-08 18:04
Eh, back during her release, people really hated her design and so were many other Natlan characters. Her leaked combat animations really got a lot of people talking because she attacks with her butt.
SystematicalError2026-01-08 18:23
She was on top of my "must pull for" list when I started 🥰🥰 A friend let me borrow their acc so I could carry myself through domains + try out pretty characters & aaaa Resa + Kokofish combination was so nice 🥺🥺
Ze_AwEsOmE_Hobo2026-01-08 16:23
Probably Mika? I like seeing variety in characters, so having a full on 🤓 "fail-boy" is nice. I remember him and Noelle being socially anxious cringelords during the Liyue poetry event, and I loved it.
It's nice to have a break from characters being cool or charming.
Marinesneaux2026-01-08 16:57
Me too. He’s so pookie wookie. People excuse Alhaitham’s autism but chastise Mika for it.
theDaemon02026-01-08 18:01
Tbh mika doesn't come across as autistic (that'd be ororon), just having a social anxiety disorder.
PantheraAuroris2026-01-08 18:51
That's so weird to me, because Alhaitham is a condescending shit to people and Mika is just a dork.
ShadowLightBoy2026-01-08 17:42
No hate for all the Mika lovers, but i just can't stand his voice. It's the only reason i dislike him despite my love for crossbows.
jibbycanoe2026-01-08 18:06
I definitely agree with you on the EN VA voice. I'll add that his boots and yeeyee ass hair are terrible too
PantheraAuroris2026-01-08 18:51
This. His voice sucks absolute ass.
almondsadnesses2026-01-08 18:30
he's hilarious and i love his voice. based
Formal_Condition26912026-01-08 18:43
I started a second account where I didn't let myself use characters I already knew, and Mika turned out to be my clutch healer + buffer. Plus he's got the Mondstat resource location passive which is great.
nai_got_lost2026-01-08 20:01
Justice for Mika! I personally think he's adorable and his JP voice is really nice to listen to. I don't hear his ENG voice very often, but imo it's not really that bad either.
rokirokino2026-01-08 20:08
mika is charming because he's such a loser. his english voice is a little grating but he makes up for it by being cute. i have him built for my very scuffed physical razor team and he's great <3
Luna_MariaHawke2026-01-08 16:24

moopym2026-01-08 21:12
As a baizhu main, his release was CRAZY people were spamming that he's a p3do because he's a father to qiqi like????? Actual insanity, thankfully no one really cares any more because he doesn't take up much of the main story so people forgot about him.

Why Chasca. I though she was liked.
Ok-Surround-72082026-01-08 20:09
I've seen enough hate from people criticizing her "pants" and that she's got no personality and she only revolves around her dead sister. Sucks to be a Chasca main, regardless, she's still my favorite dps.
oof-eef-thats-beef2026-01-08 21:17
Shes the most emotionally complex character in Natlan imo. Im mixed race. I fuck so hard with the whole ’belonging to two worlds but also neither.’ Shes a woman with an attitude problem but was able to control it and also turn it into her job (in that she used the energy to enforce peace.) I will die on this hill and its ok if others dont like her, totally fine, but people spit such genuinely vile words about her. Uncalled for.
nai_got_lost2026-01-08 19:57
Chasca hate annoys me so much. All my girl did was being a bit unique and confident about it.
It's fine if people don't vibe with her design, but all the slander back then was just unhinged.
whirlwind222026-01-08 21:36
I love the little moments where she’s a bit unhinged, it makes perfect sense since she was a feral child. I’m getting c2 on rerun and she’s never leaving my team lol.

Prestigious-Elk12742026-01-08 16:33
<3 you're my friend without introduction
EnGardevoir2026-01-08 16:48
idk about Rosaria, she's one of the best 4\* cryo units and was really popular when she first released, plus a lot of people still use her comparatively. I think what most people were upset about was her visual nerfs after release. The loss of her kicking the spear animation in the weapons screen when Raiden dropped (it was removed and she was given the same animation as Raiden), plus the chest nerfs, plus the censorship skin.
ImpressiveMention7572026-01-08 17:00

Maybe I'm just being optimistic, but there seem to be very few characters that the community actually hates. Cause I was tempted to say Xinyan or one of the other non-meta characters, but I think only Dottore, Timmy, and that one guy who pushed Sucrose actually get hate.
Cannabis_With_Emilie2026-01-08 16:39
Been an Emilie stan since day 1, and by next rerun she shall be C6!
More_Education53192026-01-08 16:39
I wouldn't say ALL of the community hates her, but Ei is one of the more controversial characters whose hate I can't help but think a big chunk of which comes from contrarianism. People like to throw around the claim that she's poorly written, which I guess is half true in a sense. To me, she's just another victim of Inazuma's piss poor execution, and I feel like she's also the only one who managed to come out an otherwise still good character, being very multifaceted with a cohesive arc. Of course there's more to a character than concept, but I struggle to understand why she gets the brunt of the hate directed towards "poorly written characters," when every other inazuma character is imo below her writing wise, beyond ofc being the most popular inazuma character.
singed_hearth2026-01-08 22:29
I didn’t think that at all when I was playing Inazuma for the first time. I thought it was a great personification of Japan when it closed off its borders to world. Hoyo not only incorporated it into the world of Genshin through Inazuma, but made it an aspect of Ei’s own character. It was nicely done. And each warring clan was unique in its own way.
Inazuma made me super nostalgic of all of my Japanese History, Arts, and Language classes that I took in the past though. And I really enjoyed pointing out fun facts to my friends when we played together - especially as we played the world quests. So I’m a little biased 🤣 but I didn’t think it was anywhere close to poorly done.
It was definitely a challenging area with the lightning-covered environment, and that scarred some of my friends emotionally. But, it felt very well done.
Bad_muffin802026-01-08 16:39
Dottore , i love him, he is so well written it’s insane, and am i really supposed to hate him just because he is a fictional evil character? Nah
808fisherman2026-01-08 16:40
she was mostly hated because ppl wanted her leaked costume rather than what she got. I personally love what they released even if i prefer navias long luscious hair. I liked that she became more dendro green themed than goth punk pinkblack type outfits
RadRelCaroman2026-01-08 16:40
I remember dori being the most disliked character for a while, but i cant hate her the jp VActing is peak insanity incarnate
InAndOut512026-01-08 16:42
I don't know, does Dottore count? Some people genuinely can't comprehend the idea of liking/wanting to play as fictional villains. Which also comes with a side effect of pretending that their favorite characters are never to blame.
"No, *my* favorite war criminal is sympathetic and misunderstood, and has deep lore reasons for their actions, it's only *your* favorite war criminal that's impossible to like!"
Ether3al_2026-01-08 16:44

Worms-Oh-God-Worms2026-01-08 16:44
Qiqi. That little zombie carried me in the early game as I was learning everything and I’d love to see her get buffed.
baguetteispain2026-01-08 18:40
Being a Baizhu main made me completely crazy about Qiqi. When I play her, I HAVE to stay for five minutes like "sooo cute, who is the cutest zombaby ? Xho is the cutest zombaby ? It's Qiqi the cutest zombaby"
PantheraAuroris2026-01-08 18:51
I think she suffers from "I got a standard character when I wanted this limited one" and not having good cryo app.
Worms-Oh-God-Worms2026-01-08 19:10
She also doesn’t generate particles for whatever reason
After-Syrup12902026-01-08 21:32

I wanna play her in coop with that chest boss since people usually don't want to play cryo and I like helping out in coop and just letting others do the dps stuff, because I like helping.
But people said they'd leave if qiqi showed up... So now I'm torn... WOULD YOU LEAVE?!
s1erra_1172026-01-08 16:46
Qiqi. She's my sweetheart and she doesn't deserve the hate she gets (tho it's more of 'used to get' nowadays)
First she gets cursed by luck, and then gets cursed by the devs. She didn't wish for any of this. All she wants is to play with her friends and drink coconut milk
And you wanna know what's funny? I still haven't managed to C6 her. Suffering from success or something 🤦

Citlali. I'm not sure if it's just a vocal minority or not, but a lot of people really seem to despise her. I think she has an interesting story, a good kit, and a cute design.
Stealthless2026-01-08 16:47
Dottore, because he's an actual evil antagonist. We need more Dottores...
Kingpimpy2026-01-08 17:59
i agree we need more dottore like characters
but i hardly disagree that he is somebody anyone should adore unless you misuse the word adore that is

Traveller
I'm going to lv100 my traveller
Put any 5* sword on it
And my best artifacts
(Tbh I think people didn't loved the character before, but the upcoming skin and buff could change that)
Classic-Pea68152026-01-08 17:25
I love traveler lol. For a few reasons but I always use them just because I think it’s silly when plot happens and they are the main character, but they aren’t actually the ones doing anything if you don’t play with them lol.
Unlucky-Party36502026-01-08 16:50
I adore Emilie, yes I'm 1 of the 3 Emilie's mains.
elisadrowned2026-01-08 16:50
the entire natlan cast ffs especially varesa

Some of the people on this post 100% use Tiktok and think that poisonous swamp is a representative of the community...
Zeckrin12026-01-08 17:15
It's Twitter and Tiktok that expose people to the loudest mfs out there lol
Varesa, although it's really only the western community.
Trebord_2026-01-08 16:59
I actually quite like Emilie, the problem is just that she came out of nowhere and the era of Burning teams was far too short. But as a character, she's pretty cool, very nice design, and very useful (in very specific use cases)
Tiaramix_mix15272026-01-08 16:59
This gal was hated? i did not know
why is it?
parrotandpeacock2026-01-08 17:00
Varesa, people acted like she killed their grandma or something.
Volmerahlx2026-01-08 17:02
hate is a big word for Emilie; she's just forgotten
Maybe that word would apply for Rhinedottir and Raiden Shogun because it's more befitting of them
luxyuz2026-01-08 17:02
Why the hate though? If you don't like a character just skip and save for the next you do! 👌🏻
Andromeda_Violet2026-01-08 17:03
Traveler. Aether, specifically. He got a bad rep thanks to the harem gooners.

Citlali
She really has an interesting personality, the dynamic between her with the rest of Natlan, and the Traveler, is also really interesting. Yet we got immense amount of hate because she doesn't fit the headcanon of certain portion of the community. Sorry, maybe I'm not a very deep person, but I really enjoy her writing. I've been anticipating her since the Ignition Teaser came out, and hoyo didn't disappoint me.
FlatisJustice1770132026-01-08 19:07
Citlali is literally one of the most popular characters overall no?
Fickle-Chart58662026-01-08 17:09

heyaooo2026-01-08 17:12
I think most players feel indifference towards Emilie, not hate. Meaning they dont care much about her to hate her. Being a very niche support thats one reason why she aint really popular with player base and not many enjoy playing with dendro-burning reaction, so it seems.
I guess for me, it would be Dottore - Hate or love him, you cant deny that he actually well written and has interesting lore...I dont get why some go so overboard with hating him that they start making stuff up and harass people who do like him. Thats just plain weird...He is fictional, stop it and get help.
umm_uhh2026-01-08 17:12
Mika, I don't get why people hate him? This dude got more reputation than most characters, he's the cartographer that Varka chose for the expedition, and trained personally under him too
I'd say I love his design a lot, the colors are nice and it reminds me of Chocobos from FF

Dori and Dottore. I really hope that Dottore stays evil and doesn’t get some bs redemption arc

JustYourRegularEden2026-01-08 17:16
Mavuika. The moment I saw her in the trailer, I was like "cool aunt vibe detected" and the Archon Quest kinda solidified this impression. I literally want her as my irl aunt. The only thing I hate about her is her outfit, because it has to be pretty damn uncomfortable. In all the other aspects, I will defend her to the very end.

Kaveh has a lot of fans lol
BrandNewKitten2026-01-08 19:16
Good! He deserves the world.
baguetteispain2026-01-08 18:48
Kaveh is rather liked, he only has a bit of reputation because he temporarily became the greatest magician of Teyvat because of a hack

I'm fine with Emilie and her writing, but I do think her English VA needs to be better with their voice acting. A little stiff, and sounds like she's reading from a script instead of sounding natural.

CryoStrange2026-01-08 18:38
The Villains. Dottore and Rerir. And idk about consensus about Ronova and Rhinedottir but they too if hated. Really like Rerir story, its simple and tragic and loves tholindis even became a sinner, and man he was so cool since his introduction. Dottore simply because well he Dottore, doesn't care if everyone hates, his goal is simple to make humans above gods by being a human himself, and will do anything for his curiosity and goal.
GroundbreakingBit5102026-01-08 18:48
Definetly Dottore 🩵💉 I look forward to more lore from him in 6.3
MagicalGamer5432026-01-08 18:57
VARESA 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I’ve loved her since the very beginning and I made an alt account specifically to get her on and I DID IT!!!!!! She finally came home 2 days ago and my god she’s incredible
Commentaires
Because most don't even remember she exists.
Isn't that every single character ever released tho?
But some characters got considerably more than others. Mavuika, Varesa and Emilie for example had a lot more (or more vocal) haters than usual.
Personally, I really like her. I like her unique occupation of being a perfume maker that's also a forensic investigator, and I *really* adore her English voice with how deep and almost tomboyish it sounds. Plus I used her a lot with Dehya in my early Natlan teams with burnvape Mualani
As for her design, it's good but out of place. But overall cool,
I use her in Stygian a lot <3
edit: okay some of you seem confused LMAO. dottore is an intriguing character to me. i dont care for the surface level good/evil analysis genshin usually tries to push in its story and i dont care that dottore is an ''evil person who youre supposed to hate''. his morals, or lack thereof, and his behaviors are interesting to me.
some of you cannot like a character without agreeing with their every move and its concerning!
Erm that's not the issue here. Idolising evil is bad whether they are real or fake.
you can very easily like a charcter, like their story or their delivery or their personality, without wanting to go pretend to be them irl and do what theyre doing in real life?? atleast i believe that most normal, sane people can.
God media literacy, RIP
i don't know why it's now seen as bad to like evil characters; when a villain is well written, people are gonna find them interesting.
shes super cute and idm her wrestling schtick or her weeb tendencies
but damn the feeder shit just keeps me from actually liking her.
Good thing she is neither lol. People just don't know what "mary sue" means (or understand Mavuika as a character at all) and their idea of what Natlan or genshin should've been is just that, THEIR idea, not the reality.
P.s - I hate dottore
Is more the off-screen and lore cats he did thatn his actual presence on the GI story.
He isn't giving the same feeling that Lygus gave me this year, an omni present villain that was really good to make nervous characters and players.
For Dottore, I need more AQ patch, with more screentime. In my country, some of us think he needs atleast 2 patches as villain (this and the next one)
I love Mavuika but the community hates her.
It's nice to have a break from characters being cool or charming.
Yes, I like (some) evil characters (If you think I like evil persons in RL then you should touch some grass), especially characters who DON´T have/need a tragic backstories.
and Ei/Raiden.
People love Klee? The only real critique she got was that she was really clunky to play, but that's been fixed
also, i love snakes and crop tops 🙂↕️
"Be sure to wash your hands. Goodness knows where that's been..."
It's fine if people don't vibe with her design, but all the slander back then was just unhinged.
She is one of the best characters i pulled. I have her on my open world team 100% of the time because of her running
kit wise shes mad shit yeah nothing to argue about here
but design wise shes easily the best of liyue
Inazuma made me super nostalgic of all of my Japanese History, Arts, and Language classes that I took in the past though. And I really enjoyed pointing out fun facts to my friends when we played together - especially as we played the world quests. So I’m a little biased 🤣 but I didn’t think it was anywhere close to poorly done.
It was definitely a challenging area with the lightning-covered environment, and that scarred some of my friends emotionally. But, it felt very well done.
"No, *my* favorite war criminal is sympathetic and misunderstood, and has deep lore reasons for their actions, it's only *your* favorite war criminal that's impossible to like!"
