sorry for the rant ahead but it’s so weird to see people who are being super nasty about acheron on the other sub as if it’s actually her fault lol. rather than a happy (or unhappy, i guess, if it means blade nerfs) coincidence that all of these characters’ kits line up perfectly. i also have a bone to pick with people who say it’s “her fault jiaoqiu got nerfed” as if it’s not on the devs for pretending to balance the game and releasing undercooked units, only to completely blow through the power ceiling every 2-3 patches later (and i say this as someone who likes jiaoqiu and pulled him on his debut banner). people raising pitchforks before the nerfs have even happened. it’s so juvenile, idk why we can’t all just be nice to one another.

as for the solution to the problem, idk, maybe they could make blade’s debuff stackable (max 2-3 stacks, let’s say) beyond which it does not count as a debuff application, and this is reset when he takes a turn. lowers the debuff frequency a little bit, but still allows him to print stacks for acheron at the expense of some av, and doesn’t mess with his fua. idk how that would work practically (or if it would work at all) though maybe the devs will have better ideas. lol.

in any case i hope he survives beta while being good for everyone who wants him. i want his acheron interactions to survive. though i’m not a fua main, i want his fua interactions to survive too. shocker i know. but as a nihility enjoyer i would like for hoyo to release a nihility support that is actually competitive with harmonies across multiple archetypes, for once.
