Don't think she's bad, just very straight forward uninteresting kit. She's basically Dendro MC but its just *LAMP* and more burn oriented (at least you can't burn the lamp on accident this time).

Maybe she’ll get more interesting with new pyro units from Natlan, especially with pyro archon

@@freshlymemed5680 I think that "interesting kit" is just a personal opinion, that will be someone who like it.

@@Wyrm1310 i actually like emilies kit i think its super funny. i didnt hear anything abt her being unable to sustain burning in burnmelt teams tho, idk if zajef is just reading bad leaks or if thats actually the case

TRUE

millenial pearl seahorse will be your worst enemy. the pearl overloading affects your characters too. gonna get knocked over more than fighting against 5 ruin guards spinning

First non electro character to struggle against an electro slime

@@thechocowizard oh yeah just fought that thing with nahida and a pyro on the team the experience was so awfull that i will never do it again

Why? She shreds electro shields Also there was a mistranslation, her dmg doesn't tank for 30s after triggering quicken

@@danielcarrilho5217 huge if its just a mistranslation and also would she rly shred their shield? her dendro app is okay at best

i hate the fact that i thought of Hades narrator voice

And it's understandable, what an awful passive they gave her.

With Natlan coming in 5.0, Emilie's kit being centered around burning, makes a lot of sense and is a cool way of introducing the pyro nation

We hadn't had a Burning unit yet. Burning was the first and only Dendro reaction in the game until 3.0 and now we finally have a unit centered around that and he's hating. I dunno, I figured he'd like her.

⁠@@MrHav1kit more like burning buff her dmg, not her buffing burning to it being strong. So it’s not really allowing a new archetypes

@@MrHav1k He hates it because she doesn't do anything with Burning for the reaction or for the team, she just does more damage if the enemy is burning. He hates it because she SHOULD be our first burning unit but instead she barely interacts with the reaction, which is why he's disappointed because he wanted to like her if she actually did something interesting with Burning.

That's sad if a different way of restricting a character is your favourite thing about em

What i love about Emilie is that is a easy skip, time to save gems

I mean -90% damage against quickened enemies means that she will never kill an electro slime, but I agree is better than “when there are only pyro, anemo and dendro characters” passives

She does not buff burning, burning buffs her which makes her useless unless you like her

Bless.

Too bad insert four star here is superior

@@wilburforce8046 kaveh dori candance isnt superior

3U is straight up a nahida powercreep omg. She need 1.5u every 3s or 1u every 2s to sustain her own burning i believe. Not sure if its enough if theres hydro or cryo in the team though!

@@tk-ox4ol but thats the thing, 3u dendro app is not powercreep if its only available in burning teams. She already has worse app in non burning teams than burning teams, she also has worse damage in quicken teams than burning teams. So if she got goooood dendro app in burning team but meh app in non teams, at least she can be decent at her own niche.

@@lostblueboy Um 3U means each proc of her E = 6S of burning, her E frequency is every 1.5S. On top of that strong aura is very desirable for bloom production, when I said nahida powercreep im refering to bloom, especially nilou where dendro application is the only thing that matters

Like he said right, she gonna be fairly avarage without a doubt, he just doesn't like her kit because its boring for him and thats very subjective for people to people, if u like her kit pull for her and u will have no regret and clear content just fine, if u doesn't like her kit just don't pull for her Personally i skipping her for murata because i decided to get all the archon but you do you man

Insert Xiangling copypasta

@@adnankhalid8457 I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of xiangling. I try to play dieluc. My xiangling deals more damage. I try to play yoimiya. My xiangling deals more damage. I try to play Hu tao. My xiangling deals more damage. I want to play Klee. Her best team has xiangling. I want to play raiden, childe. They both want xiangling. She grabs me by the throat. I fish for her. I cook for her. I give her the catch. She isn't satisfied. I pull engulfing lightning. "I don't need this much er" She tells me. "Give me more field time." She grabs bennett and forces him to throw himself off enemies. "You just need to funnel me more. I can deal more damage with homa." I can't pull for homa, I don't have enough primogems. She grabs my credit card. It declines. "Guess this is the end." She grabs gouba. She says "Gouba, get them." There is no hint of sadness in his eyes. Nothing but pure, no icd pyro application. What a cruel world OPPA

Xiangling isn't even close to her , a full buffed xiangling still doesn't out damage a non buffed Emilie, not to mention her ult cost is only 50

Then don't 🤦, catalyst characters are also useless against slimes of there respective elements

Yeah, I'll pull on her too. I want to have more options for Hydro-less teams, as most of my teams do use hydro, whether it's Navia with double hydro, Ayato hyperbloom. Wrio freeze, Arle vape, etc.

god, i hope not, i got soooo tired of DoT in HSR, but I guess this will do something for Genshin's combat tho...

We already have DoT since 1.0

That's the thing, "different teams" are not as good, that's why they need more teams that are better than the existing team. Otherwise there would be little to no incentive to invest in different teams.

@@None38389 if you are bored of playing something that would be the incentive to play something else in a game. Power creep by itself won't fix someone's problem of not playing different stuff. It'll just make it harder for people who did not invest vertically or who aren't getting the new units. Eventually it leads to more playstyles being unviable

This gotta be one of my biggest gripes with the guy and it's not even hate cuz I like his content I'm just confused 😭😭😭 like I have yet to be bored of my experience in playing genshin because I love playing characters to max out friendship exp and make teams centered around them and usually play that for a pretty short while and sometimes even mix and match their teams a little. Its something that's really fun and keeps the game new for me while also getting to try different playstyles. I get that for him he's kinda burnt out from exploring and that playing like this just might not be his thing but at a certain point it really is just a matter of trying out new teams and ways to play your characters. Ig tbf he already does this himself with abyss testing and he might know how to play every team ever but the game gives u a lot of freedom to do different things so might as well test the waters. Also not trying to glaze genshin here either I definitely have problems with the game itself too lmao

@@Siecyl Yes, but if that something else functions worse than the thing you are bored of then you are just going to get bored of it again even quicker and feel bad about investing in it in the first place, not to mention it costs real money for games like this. If the solution to being bored is to spend resources to progress backward in power rather than forward then it's not a very good solution.

@@None38389 That shows how different people experience the game, cause it happens different for me. I decided not to pull for Neuvillete cause even though he was strong he is boring as shit to pilot so i just decided to play other teams that had characters that for me feel more fun to play.

True, like, even If I waited for a character, sure, it's fun to build thrm and do different teams, but after 3-4 rotations of Abyss idk how I feel them (except charas I enjoy as charas). Esp someone like Neuvi, Nahida, Kazuha and etc.

Bruh it's a gacha. They gatekeep story for years.

Doesn't this sound like burnout

To have synergy with XQ

an interesting kit. ngl i kinda agree though her E skill looks bad even her burst animation compare to 2 5 star character from last patch

I wouldn't be surprised if he has a XQ body pillow and I wish I was joking. Dude is weirdly obsessed with that little boy to an extreme that is uncomfortable to hear all the time

He expects the unit to not get cucked when they trigger Spread reactions. Emilie's multipliers fall by an enormous margin if she triggers Spread (Dendro+Electro), so even if you don't have an electro unit in your team, Emilie becomes effectively useless for 30 seconds if the opponent has an electro shield, or is an electro slime.

@@rttrrttrrttr You don't need to have only pyro units with Emilie, you can put a second dendro unit like Alhaitham or Tighnari, or an anemo unit for VV. Besides, pyro is good to break electro shields, is it not?

Yessir...

He also hates Yelan's burst animation time while XQ's E is one of the worst feeling abilities to use in the game, but he considers XQ the most fun unit to play.

@@Kamikaz3Badger I love using his E twice and getting frozen.

Zajef just hates everything but Xingqiu lol

I'm not saying that I agree with him that XQ is the most fun unit but there is a world's difference between XQ and Emilie, the number of teams he enables is staggering, not to mention the defensive utility makes it so content is less frustrating to deal with. I'd be surprised if I can fit Emilie in more than 2 teams, hell I'd be surprised if I can make her do something that enables a team rather than just exist as an off field damage bot.

XQ is a four star tho, plus his kit is actually well designed for a 1.0 unit, Emilie on the other hand is A FIVE STAR from VERSION 4.8, obviously people expected more of her and they're right to do so

Sure, but will that be a stronger option than the existing best teams? Because if it's not then she's pointless if your goal was to increase the overall power of your account, which I believe is the angle Zajef's evaluation is based on.

I don't even want her but I can see that she's geniunely another good option for melt teams.

@@None38389 It doesn't have to be stronger tbh. It's just good to have another option. We can't use the same character in 2 different teams so having multiple characters that are interchangeable and perform similarly is a good thing.

@@kombatluffy3424 It would be if it doesn't cost precious gems or real money to obtain that option.

@@None38389 Well good thing we're getting an alternative source of primos that will encourage multiple built characters, even across similar roles then, isn't it?

He really like Dehya's kit, unfortunately Hoyo made her numbers really shit.

@None38389 I think he likes the character and her design, not the kit.

Airfryer?

The duration is 22 seconds. The cooldown is 14 seconds, and you even get a second way to redeploy via burst, so you'd have zero issue repositioning it.

Is chiori give any buff or supporting abilities?

New end game is coming and you will need more than Neuvillete and Hyperbloom teams to beat it. That’s more than enough justification to pull. on top of the fact she’s actually really good in her niche, something Zajeff doesn’t want to admit.

@@wuaduhsiapa i thought her a4 buffs everyone, but it kinda makes sense it doesn't because it'd kill albedo even more

​@@Blizandriohe did say she was a strong unit though, he just doesn't like the kit bc he thinks it's boring but that doesn't make her bad

What does chiori outside of damage? At least emilie make you not dying by the burn anymore

That is true when you are min/maxing though, things are only worth investing in when they are better than the existing best option. A 40CV artifact piece is just as useless as a 0CV piece when all your pieces are over 45CV, by that same logic a "decent" character is just as useless as the worst character in the game when you already have several great characters for the same role.

TIL zajef is a sith lord

Truer words have never been said and tbh that can kinda fuck up a game for you. You'll end up waiting for units that'll probably never come and you'll miss out on the current units that actually look fun.

Despite the 85% less burning dmg, that's still 15% burning dmg, even with dehya tanking part of the incoming dmg you are still just slowly dying with this team no?

om om om om

@@lynn9265 But does it matter if you kill everything so fast?

-yes, but her damage is actually significant, so you're losing on a good portion of the team's total dps -the lower amount of hits might slow it down a little, even if icd is the same -she doesn't -depends on the enemy and/or time you have left to clear, on the baptist you definitely want to start a rotation before taking down the shield for example

She is Kaveh transitioned.

Her design is unoriginal and shoehorned into burning, she does nothing interesting with the reaction

@@romankarol5370 Yes I agree. Her kit is cohesive and functional, as far as we can tell though, so, while I agree that it's uninteresting and unnecessary, I don't think either of those things means that it's bad, compared with broken and dysfunctional kits like Xinyan's or Albedo's

He's not saying she's bad, he actually called her strong in the video. He's using awful as a synonym for uninteresting/boring, that's why he's calling her that. Nothing to do with her powerlevel really so don't take it to heart

@@EdenVix It's not the power level, there are some characters with awful kits who at some point were functional in the meta (again, I refer to Albedo), it's that I believe that a boring but functional kit isn't awful, it's just boring

@@brodericksiz625 i understand that and im inclined to agree, I'm just saying you and zajef are using different definitions for "awful" and that's why he's calling her that

obviously to fill the missing cr....

@@noobbll is it better than stringless

@@ElbigMo its depends but usually 5tar just slightly better in stat. i dont think its much difference if you have stringless r5 compare to harp. I'm more annoyed to his clorinde lions roar lol, like aesthetically finale looks better

@@noobbll true 😂

Now you know she'll be broken when he hates it so much.

Dont take his opinion too seriously, this is the man that thinks that 1.0 units are the most fun to play to this day

dmc was shelved right after 2 updates when nahida came out

@@Qwerty-ns9yk Still had uses for Nilou bloom teams and the like and its not like Nahida is good on every dendro related team.

but dmc is free

Dmc is better in aggravate and bloom teams

That would be the case if she didn't get 90% of her damage reduced with quicken reactions I understand why they did that but damn it sucks

Weakest doomposter in millenia vs strongest new char patch glazer as of today

doesn’t matter. WuWa is just better. Anything related to Genshin now is outdated.

​@@skyhart9926 woa chill dude if you like wuwa good for you

When you watch Zajef you just have to read between the lines to figure out if they are actually good or not since he's an overly negative person. For example: His opinion on Chlorinde is she's a good unit. He also thinks Emilie is a strong unit. I think most people wouldn't know this if they just hear him say "Chlorinde gets carried by Fischl" or "Emilie is an awful character". Hes just a hyperbolic person.

@@skyhart9926 There's a lot to consider when evaluating a live service game, a game that is superior at the moment could become a dumpster fire in a few years, and a game that is a dumpster fire now could become superior in the future too. Best not put all your eggs in the same basket.

she has a 90% damage penalty when doing spread

She's not limited to Pyro and Dendro, but she can't be played in any quicken/HyperBloom related teams

She doesn't have element restriction like Nilou/Chevreuse, but she deals -90% damage against Quickened enemies & her A1 passive (AoE Dendro damage) will be completely disabled for 30s. Electro Slime will be her worst enemy xD

Basically, she gets a damage increase and more dendro app in burning/ burgeon teams, but she gets a damage reduction with any sort of dendro and electro reaction. Unlike Chevreuse and Nilou that enables/ enhances their elemental reaction, Emilie just gets more damage from burning reactions.

If she triggers spread, her damage is reduced by 85% or something like that

Canadian I believe. He speaks French in some vids too, and will sometimes compare Genshin's use of French with Quebec(?) French.

@lynn9265 Thank u he has this accent. I never understood from where.

They really need to start teaching kids how to differentiate subjective and objective in school. It's very difficult to have a logical and constructive conversation with someone who's unable to separate one from the other.

My Nilou Bloom team uses her, Barbara, DMC, and Nahida, with Barbara as the driver. I know Kokomi does almost everything Barbara does and better, but Kokomi is one of my least favorite characters in the entire cast, to the point where if I could "return" her, I would (long story).

Her burning teams WILL be competitive what are you on?

​@@Blizandrio I'm merely saying that her Burning requirements aren't actually a synergy of any kind and instead it's a generic team building restriction that doesn't provide anything meaningful for the team - it is just a necessity for her not to be borderline useless. The only similar case that I can think of is Chiori asking for a Geo construct, but that at least comes naturally with the characters that she likes anyways, meanwhile Emilie's problem is not just "you need to use a Pyro character that can do the Burning" but also "you can't do anything that would interfere with the Burning", which immediately throws a lot of potential team comps out the window. And as an extra inconvenience, she doesn't want Electro anywhere near her. And what you get for it is just personal damage, on a secondary DPS at that.

In other words he's completely incompetent as a TC

Tbf to Zajef he's talking about the design of the kits and not necessarily how they'll perform 😭 like he literally said Emilie will be "decent" which will likely mean she'll be good considering how he phrases things. I think it's moreso that he just likes interesting kit designs that can be messed around with in unique ways rather than kits that have some form of restriction.

Character kit design =/= character performance

@@banjoowo4001 All they need to do to make an interesting and fun character garbage is to just give them really bad numbers, like Dehya. It have nothing to do with TC. If that's how you think TC works then you are ill-equipped to digest TC content properly.

he tends to do that with every character that has an authentic pronunciation, so probably he is extra with Fontaine bc he is from Quebec

it is bcuz he is french

So? I like his pronunciation, it’s better than these butchered ones from some English speaking streamers

That's cool actually, instead of hearing every streamer having such weird pronounciation. Not to mention, you're confusing a bit ethnic names (Sumeru) with Fontaine (which he does cause he is from Quebec and knows french).

Si.

EXACTLY!!!! Genshin did well to rope us in and the combat is very fun but when I think about trying another game like it, I get sick to my stomach🤢🤢. Like imagine going through stuff like 50/50 wishing, resin, the artifact system in another game; I would lose my mind in no time😭😭

Because hoyo are being lazy af with design

Zyox won't get it because he didn't play elden ring

​@@Med1umentorCheck this channels old videos... About Most fun character he literally says XQ is the most fun

@@ig_mikomiko i checked, and he wasn't talking about "XQ = fun" exactly, but how it's not fun to get rid of him, and suddenly everything is bad. XQ is universally useful, and that's why it feels good to have it in your team, it's not about "E-Q-swap" gameplay (which is, lets be real, a majority of characters). And in that comparison, XQ is indeed covering as much ground as no any other character ever could.
