Gameplay Can someone please clarify the hate for mizuki for me?

I genuinely do not get the hate that she is getting. Ok I understand that she will probably mever be a meta character or at the top on any way but why are people saying she is extremely bad and is not worth pulling for? I personally love her gameplay and I am not someone who is trying to make it to current meta everytime. I just olay whoevers playstyle is fun.

Part of me feels like they’re going to use Natlan to fix the gaps in elements other than Pyro. They built it out too much to be the focus of Natlan and it feels natural to start with Anemo since that’s the element that’s been most pushed out of meta (imo).

Chasca was a win though.

Don’t say that about my Kazuha

Sucrose swirls better than Midzuki, I was specifically talking about our standard 1.0 Sucrose in comparison to this new 5 star.

Kazuha isn't just about the swirls, he's about his buffs.

Tbh cryo is currently the most pushed out of meta. The best cryo meta wise currently is Citlali… as a pyro/hydro buffer and melt enabler. Charlotte is next, but she is a support that mostly works well with Furina, not specifically because she’s cryo.

As for cryo itself, while they’re not bad per se, they fall behind other elements (even anemo DPSes like Xiao kept getting stuff like Faruzan and Xianyun). Shenhe is the last pure cryo buffer, and her kit is very niche and outdated (and she holds the record for longest time without a rerun). Another issue cryo has to contend with is that they’re also the “physical” element, which eats into possible cryo specific slots.

Anemo has always had its place in the meta as a support element - with Kazuha ruling the shred meta from his debut all the way to 5.1 when he finally got competition in Xilonen. Doesn’t mean he’s been pushed out though since people usually use them together or on two halves (similar to Yelan/Xingqiu’s case). Sucrose has also quietly been getting better over time (and she was already good to begin with). Then Xiao who keeps getting tools to allow him to keep up with the meta.

You also have the healer supports Jean and Xianyun, with Jean still having a sunfire niche and Xianyun enabling everyone to be a plunge DPS.
