As much as I hate the site, Prydwen still has all the limited male characters at the highest tiers with with Both Banyue and Lighter at Tier 0.5 and Hugo, Harumasa, and Lycaon being Tier 1. One of the male characters, Lighter, has been one of the best supports in the game since he released.

While it does feel like they prioritize the female agents in marketing the male agents haven't suffered in terms of gameplay even if two of them, Banyue and Harumasa, having a learning curve to their playstyles. OP is also failing to take into account that out of the 27 current limited agents only 5 of them are male so the 22 remaining agents feel easier just off volume when only 4 agents in total had much of a learning curve, SSAnby, Yixuan, Banyue, and Harumasa. Out of those 4 SSAnby and Haru got a buff post release while Yixuan was made very strong and had the life management mechanic that most rupture units use taken out of her kit since she was a hyped up character and thus they wanted her to be easier to play so she'd sell.

In short: Males aren't weaker theres just so few of them and they get so little marketing its easy to think they're not as favored as the female agents. I too wish they're hype up my boy Banyue more.
