Bwos, I just checked out Genshin again after a heavy break, and it looks like Clorinde is once again dead weight...
The inclusion of another electro character that fills up her niche is honestly kind of hard to digest. Considering how glutted genshin is with characters, you would think that those greedy corporate pigs would have made her a little more well-rounded to make her a competitive choice for at least a full patch cycle.
I keep thinking about how they trimmed the fat off of her kit prior to her original release. Was it really an excessive request to make her more robust? To flesh out her kit a little?
It's genuinely flabbergasting considering they added Varesa so soon who, by the way, has a kit that is totally stuffed with a few features really cushion the act of playing an electro DPS.
I knew she would be powercrept but, holy cow, i wasnt expecting it to barrel down towards us at such a pace. I'm low on primos and i just know that making her competitive again will be a sizeable investment and that will require some belt-tightening to accumulate more of her constellations.
This dilemma has me encumbered with heavy deliberations. The elephant in the room is twofold: her kit which is laden with weighty cool downs that we all know make her rather ponderous and cumbersome to play at c0r0 AND her competition is stuffed with QoL features and a meaty kit that make her a very appetizing alternative.
Honestly, i cant believe the continue to gut her. Some hefty changes must be made. They have to make her kit more beefy—inflate her numbers or include someone to support her exaggerated deficiencies.
I hate having to give her such a wide berth, I just want her playstyle to be enjoyable. She just has such an insatiable appetite for energy and I dont want to worry so much about feeding her with an electro battery?
She was one of my most anticipated characters and I love her design but it seems like she is just a big waist unlike Varesa.
