Peak gameplay

[u/Devil_Control_]

Don’t get me wrong.
Love the game. Day 1 player and I buy every month the monthly pass and the battle pass plus some top up when they reset the double bonus

But i swear this has to be the worst update I have ever played so far.

Qingxiao is beautiful but holy shit the personality and the story are so boring and predictable I can’t count how many times I almost felt asleep while playing. Took me 2 whole week to actually find the will to play the main quest.

I’ve always read every single line of main quest story but this is the first time I literally skipped the main quest without even reading the summaries

And lest talk about the gameplay. Animation are GREAT but at the same time so boring it’s even funny how you just need to keep pressing the left click and the character literally play itself.
I hope 3.7 is better but at this point I just hope for an hard reset with 4.0

What about you guys? Did you like this update?

re: gameplay... yeah jingran is unfortunately the same — just hold the button, occasionally spam skills to build up forte qi, use ult, back to holding one button.

technically speaking you can just keep clicking the button instead. but i really do hope kuro goes back to actual combos like luuk's, sigrika's, phrolova's, & hiyuki's gameplays.

> occasionally spam skills, build up forte qu, use ult
The for the actual Jingran rotation you shouldn’t hold basic: you ult immediately then heavy then you use skills to combo into plunging attack + heavys to switch forms, you perform a couple basic attacks just for the fourth heavy. If you just hold basic you lose dps

Don't tell the haters the truth

[u/dew-fall → u/Grodatore]

ooooooh i see i see!! yeah i can do the combo after the ult, its just. building up the ult every rotation takes a teeny tiny bit of time bc my jingran is still a wip.

[u/T8-TR → u/dew-fall]

Besides not needing another Tune Shifting unit and another Fusion MDPS, this was definitely ANOTHER reason for me to skip the both of them.

I know the difference between spamming M1 and holding M1 isn't that big, since neither exactly have a high skill floor or anything, but something about holding just /feels/ worse.

[u/Leftykopf → u/T8-TR]

Jingran doesnt do that though only Qx does

[u/T8-TR → u/Leftykopf]

When I previewed him, it definitely felt like I was just holding heavy half the time.

But moreover, I really don't need another Fusion MDPS.

[u/Leftykopf → u/T8-TR]

Thats mostly cause he can do it not because its optimal, you can spam basic attacks with all units doesnt mean thats good

[u/N_Raged93 → u/dew-fall]

At least Jingran's attacks have some impact to them.
Because of Qingxiao's light, elegant, and whispy combat style, I don't feel connected to when her attacks land.

[u/The_Night_Haunter-8 → u/N_Raged93]

Can’t say you don’t feel it when that giant sword stabs up from the ground and then a even bigger blade comes down with her ultimate and she does it effortlessly, as it should exactly be with Xingxiao. She’s a 200+ year old master, so her swordplay should reflect that.

[u/The_Night_Haunter-8 → u/dew-fall]

I think of it this way for Qingxiao, she’s a 200+ year old master, so her swordplay should be effortless. Plus it’s not like her animations aren’t peak as hell.

[u/No-Contribution-7269 → u/dew-fall]

so...that's not how you play him at all, actually.

[u/dew-fall → u/No-Contribution-7269]

yea ive been told!

[u/Just_Roll_Already → u/dew-fall]

Sigrika is so damn fun and absolutely wipes the field when you use her properly. It's funny to me how she was "Skiprika" on release and everyone ignored her. Incredible character that is an actual example of being underrated.

[u/Spytan → u/Just_Roll_Already]

It's just a shame that Qiuyuan is miserable to use without S1.

[u/dew-fall → u/Just_Roll_Already]

yup yup!! they sat her up by releasing her before THE tune support, denia 😭😭😭 the only reason i skipped her was bc i didnt have many asterites...

[u/kugisaki-kagayama → u/dew-fall]

They should not replicate units like luuk and sigrika, what do you mean actual combos? They are identical to the OP except you click the button instead of hold it, bffr.

Phrolova, hiyuki, carte, jinhsi, changli, zani, camellya etc are well designed characters gameplay wise, luuk and sigrika are not.
