Unpopular popular opinion : stygian is awful rn

first of all, it is purely my opinion and I hear some people may enjoy stygian the way it is. But personally, I feel the shill is getting worse and worse, forcing specific characters to even consider clearing isn't enjoyable.

For me it isn't fun to try to clear with older characters nor it is to clear with skilled character with minimal effort...

Stygian is a great concept but I think it should emphasize more on gameplay difficulty rather than having the appropriate characters.

(looking forward to having miliastra boss fights that would be closer to this in the future 🍀🤞)

Unpopular opinion: people forgot what unpopular means

Ik what it means I just don't know wether my opinion is popular or not, see it like this. Maybe my phrasing was bad sryy

May I suggest next time using “opinion:” if you don’t know whether your stance is popular or not.

Love it when my unpopular opinion is also popular

Stygian was never good.

I had older characters with top builds and optimal rotations, i struggled. Now i have some newer & shilled characters with first week builds and i'm pressing random buttons to clear.

0 skill, pure character check, terrible mode.

Stygian always sucked. More shill than abyss, and for some god awful reason, you start with 0 energy.

babangelsin2026-01-22 14:19

The reason: Older characters have worse energy economy, newer ones mostly have good particle gen, low burst CD and 2 of them doesn't even know what energy is.

Along with kits that don't put as much of their power budget into their burst.

Stygian since it started has been "shilling" to even consider clearing

Be it elemental combos, specific character traits like fast and plenty elemental hits, or simply an specific mechanic like plunge

IT since it started has had bosses that were "shilling" one or two characters at best, with any other option been a considerable sidegrade

Abyss has been "shilling" the newest banner character to cheese the fuck out of it, including but not limited to bleeding to boost Kokomi, energy drains and elemental auras for Jean to cleanse, or simply the not anymore new buff system dedicated to dictating reruns

Your point, if you ever had one, is that you dislike it, thats all

Calling it a "popular" opinion, while conflating your personal opinion as a general fact, is not it

>Stygian is a great concept but I think it should emphasize more on gameplay difficulty rather than having the appropriate characters.

You do know that this game is a mobile game designed for a casual playerbase right?

You do realize that casual playerbase is gonna complain when something is "too hard" mechanically as they did with Childe or Azhdaha asking to nerf them because they refused to read beyond the first line right? And yet here you are expecting an endgame mode, thats supposed to be doable, but not extremely hard, to be both not doable, and extremely hard, unless you have the mechanical skill, on a rather simple mobile game?

Way to push your own playerbase away from the game thats for certain

I guess I'm one of the few who enjoy it. I find it amusing testing out all the characters I pulled for on their day 1 and see which ones can cheese it. If I can't, then I'll find out how far I can push my vertically invested characters through it with crit fishing.

The characters I pull for is already decided the moment they get dripped. I am not so easily swayed by an episode of difficulty to be compelled to pull for shill or cry in public spaces for affirmation.
