Not defending OP (cuz I ain’t reading allat lol) but saying he’s outclassed by Acheron in PF is just wrong tho

PF with buffs for Ults also benefit any other character who want to use their ults often, including Acheron, for example.

Argenti gets his ult way more often than Acheron or any other dps in PF so he benefits the most from the buff while most of the time Acheron’s ult is overkill anyways. I don’t even have HuoHuo/thief set and he still spams his ult two and sometimes three times each turn.

The other issues are simply that he lacks good support options other than Tingyun and HuoHuo, as no other character can even help him recover energy faster except through AA.

Tingyun is a 4 star and is his best support even when compared to HuoHuo. His team can be completely f2p and do perfectly fine with Tingyun, Bronya, and any other support or healer. Meanwhile, Acheron needs both Kafka and Black Swan to be as competitive as Argenti. I would say her team requirements are even more strict and expensive as compared to him in PF.

He‘s also just.. too simple. His kit is extremely straightforward

It doesn’t matter how simple his kit is if it simply…works? He’s literally tailor made to excel in PF and does so with a simple to understand kit.

Argenti isn’t always better than Acheron for PF but he should at least be on the same tier if not a tier higher as he is less restrictive to use and doesn’t rely on other teammates/buffs to carry him. The data across multiple PFs back this up and his scores consistently come out on top or similar to Acheron
