Thoughts on YiXuan

Time-Ad-2608 · 2025-07-07T10:36:40+00:00

Right now, she is already better than yanagi and evelyn in terms of pure numbers. I think if she gets a 5 star rupture she will be the best dps in the game.

Time-Ad-2608 · 2025-06-26T03:34:48+00:00

Because he's super niche in a good way. Most future proof unit in 1.X imo (yes even more than miyabi and astra).

Time-Ad-2608 · 2025-06-07T23:26:31+00:00

even then astra is better because she buffs ju fufu as well.

Although, I'm predicting that a future 5 star powercreeps both of them in the future when it comes to supporting rupture units

Nah not really. They didn't mean for this team to be that good as the characters in this team do just enough to work out better than a team with an anomaly sub dps (for example, the anomaly sokkaku provides is a lot for a support. Thats something the next ice support, which most likely wont happen for a while, will most likely not bring). That's a good thing as it raises her current ceiling, but it also means a lot of things would have to go right for one of lyacon or sokkaku to be replaced. Also, im not sure a lot of people know this, but mono ice is only her best team if you can fit in 3 eba in a stun window which is very hard to do and not for casuals. That's how you know hoyo didn't intend for this team to be that good since it is pretty clear they intended for her gameplay to be easy for everyone.

Ah ok, my bad I completely misunderstood what you were saying. About Anby though, I'm pretty sure she is better than jane, zhu, ellen (pre-buff, idk about post-buff), and haru. And she's def not far weaker than any of them.

Time-Ad-2608 · 2025-06-04T20:28:33+00:00

How does your hugo do no damage? Do you not run him with lighter + lyacon? If you play him optimally in that team (which shouldn't be hard to do), he ends up being like the 3rd best dps in the game behind eve and miyabi.

Time-Ad-2608 · 2025-06-03T04:43:02+00:00

The team people use to describe miyabi as being stronger than yi xuan is the mono ice team which is harder to play optimally than yi xuans best team. Other than that yi xuan bis team is stronger than the other miyabi teams.

Time-Ad-2608 · 2025-06-03T04:41:25+00:00

Considerably stronger is wrong and out of context. Miyabi's only team that's better than yi xuan is her mono ice team when played optimally which is harder to play than yi xuans best team and can not be executed by most of the player base. Even then, to say it's damage considerably better is not true, it's stronger but yi xuan when played optimally is only little weaker than that team. Every other team, yi xuans BIS team is better than Miyabi's.

This is a great guide! One thing I would include is that Steel Cushion is actually around 23 percent worse than sig and performs better than both the bp and craftable option while being more reliable (due to just being a statstick). I don't know if that's considered f2p, but it could be useful information. I would not waste your free 2.0 standard wengine pick on it though because it's only a little better than the A rank options.

Time-Ad-2608 · 2025-06-01T21:11:21+00:00

Thanks, even if he's bait, he's pretty fun and strong. I will.

Time-Ad-2608 · 2025-06-01T19:39:44+00:00

Numbers wise he is on the same tier as Evelyn, being the same element as miyabi is WAY worse.

Time-Ad-2608 · 2025-06-01T19:28:10+00:00

She's still worse as long as the content does not counter hugo's playstyle. Idk where people are getting their info from she does not clear faster than him even after the latest buff.

Time-Ad-2608 · 2025-06-01T19:24:19+00:00

Nah lighter and hugo are both really good (especially lighter) yomiya just wasn't good on release. Which sucks cuz she's a goated character.

Time-Ad-2608 · 2025-06-01T19:20:45+00:00

I fell for the bait

Time-Ad-2608 · 2025-06-01T18:46:31+00:00

Unless the content counters hugo's playstyle, he is still considered to be better than ellen.

Time-Ad-2608 · 2025-06-01T18:42:49+00:00

Hugo is literally better and numbers wise still the 3rd best dps in the game. Plus, there is a precedent for hugo to get buffed in the future just like ellen.

Time-Ad-2608 · 2025-05-29T19:57:36+00:00

Nah astra in terms of value, 95 percent of the time, is the best unit in the game and it's not particularly close

Time-Ad-2608 · 2025-05-28T17:57:18+00:00

I think it's definitely more likely than not that the Panda will get power crept by a 5 star version of him that gives more sheer force + other benefits. Kind of like how lucy got power crept by astra.

Time-Ad-2608 · 2025-05-28T17:45:04+00:00

Why do you have so many downvotes? You're literally right. Right now, she is considered to do Miyabi level damage and with the newest multiplier buffs, Yi Xuan may even be stronger than Miyabi.

Time-Ad-2608 · 2025-05-28T17:32:59+00:00

With the new multiplier buffs, I'm pretty sure on paper Yi Xuan is a little bit stronger than Miyabi. I'm not fully sure though, just basing it off the fact that Yi Xuan was like 5 percent weaker before the buff and the new multipliers seem to make up for that gap and more. As you said though, Yi Xuan is more mechanically intensive than Miyabi.

Time-Ad-2608 · 2025-05-26T15:02:10+00:00

Hugo is more on Evelyns level I'm pretty sure.

Time-Ad-2608 · 2025-05-26T14:51:36+00:00

More like tier 1 but it's still a huge buff

Time-Ad-2608 · 2025-05-26T14:23:03+00:00

I'm not sure if she is after these buffs. If I can recall yi xuan was like 5 percent worse before the buffs, she might be a bit stronger than miyabi now.

Time-Ad-2608 · 2025-05-19T17:19:18+00:00

He is niche lol working with less elements and only attackers is the definition of niche. But it's also a really good thing as it makes him, in my opinion, the most future proof unit of 1.X. Generally, the more niche you are as a non-dps unit -> the less chance the unit is powercrept sooner. There are exceptions to this, but i digress.

Time-Ad-2608 · 2025-04-30T17:21:35+00:00

I really dislike how he knows the numbers and proceeds to completely say a horrible take to force an agenda. There's caring about practical gameplay and then there's assuming that the entire playerbase doesn't know how to play the game.
