Dont worry, she will get a new story where her hospital is destroyed and she snaps and goes on a quest of vengeance following the path of the hunt as a physical DPS but now using a bow.

I will never forget the moment when I first had to fight Kafka. She was at 1 hp and she quickly one-shotted my team, except for Natasha, who survived because of her emergency self-heal. Natasha continued to tank Kafka's attacks and I had to heal most of the time, but I managed to squeeze in an auto-attack, which miraculously crit. She was my last woman standing and she delivered unexpectedly 😆

She's like a mother figure, she helped and watched you grow and now when you're going places you rarely see each other and you remembered all those times she helped you😊 love u Natasha❤

i think all new hsr players will be carried by this woman til the end of the game's lifespan. if her job is to be a temporary crutch, she's fantastic.

for many, Natasha is the best healer they have because shes the only healer they have Edit: I got bailu as the guaranteed 5 star from the departure warp. Made the rest of the story a breeze

She was also outshined by Huohuo in the cleansing part. Before Huohuo, Natasha was the only character that could constantly cleanse, though takes a lot of skill points. But now, with Huohuo's passive cleanse, anyone who pulled for her is essentially immune to debuffs

best mommy deserves better but I'll always love her for carrying through the early and midgame ❤

To show you how beneficial Natasha was (at least to my account) during the early days, when Hoyo released player stats during new year, Natasha was my most used unit despite me getting Luocha in 1.1 and replacing her in my overworld team and dropping her entirely in 1.3 when I got Fu Xuan. Stats say she was with me for 4972 battles and I'm thankful for every single one of those.

I used to scream NATASSSSHA everytime i needed to heal and ill never forget my rage and love for her ❤

She’s still my main healer due to me not switching off her since she’s still technically my best healer. . .

Barbara all over again

She became Shatana (lord trashcan) 😂

i think natasha covers the early-game healer niche very well to this day and i think its cool to have an early game healer. truly is a mother who saw you grow up and now just watches you from afar

Natasha is still my main healer and will still be my main healer forever more. I have her at E4 and I'm still wanting to get her to E6 to where she deals damage based on a % of her HP stat.

Also Lynx atks are based on her max hp while natasha only does a lil of hp damage with her e6

They should make an relic kit like "When you heal an ally with Burst or Skill, have a chance of 70% of taking off 1 penality" to bring back dead characters like Bailu and Natasha now

Lynx. Literally just Lynx.

What happened to Natasha is the same thing that happened to Yanqing, in my opinion. The difficulty curve in Star Rail isn't VERY pronounced, but there is a harsh line the game forces you through somewhere pretty early in the story, and it's the big AoE/big group divide. There comes a point in the game where you start fighting groups of enemies, fast enemies, and enemies that hit half of your team or more in a go--especially some of the bosses. Yanqing's damage is all right without his passive, but the requirements to not get hit in addition to taking a turn or two to build up, really cost him in the long term; it's similar with Natasha, who puts out big numbers but doesn't do much else. Most people were nowhere near being at the level of speed enough to need top tun their characters, and chasing for Relics hadn't started so no one had a guaranteed Speed setup they could use... or one they could spare for just their healer. So you have more numbers, but on a slower healer, who can only heal your entire team once per ult and needs good energy to do that. And one who offers nothing else--no real damage, no DoT, no debuff, no utility. I love Natasha, but Bailu already made her LOOK like a four star; factor in the amazing auto healing of Luocha, the team castling of Geppard, or the immutable area defense of Fu Xuan, and it's easy to see why she fell to the way side. And I think the main cause of that is just that she wasn't designed to address some of the most common enemy attacks and comps you meet.

Natasha suffers from "she was IMMEDIATELY powercrept at launch" thanks to Bailu. And then Luocha's launch made it even worse.

“What happened with Natasha?” There’s actually healers now

Pretty nice video dude! Keep it going! I would recommend turning up the volume (I had to turn up the system a lot of more Im used to) and some modulation! But I realize you're starting, and the video content seem pretty good alright!

To the healer that helped me in every situation, thank you❤. I right now have c6 Natasha yet I always use her in MOC (because I don’t have any healers rather than Lynx)

correction, lynx doesnt remove ALL debuffs, just one. still insanely good

She is the barbara of HSR

Awww, natasha❤. She helped me a lot throughout my first parts in the game. She was my most used unit until I got huohuo. But I still use her on my secondary team alongside blade. I think I have an E3 or 4 lynx but I can't build her right now 'cause I'm too busy with Ratio.

honestly natasha and some other characters would be saved and would be much better if lightcones werent restricted to certain paths. She could hold planetary rendevouz for clara or argenti and now boothill. Honestly, he more i play, the more i dont understand why lightcones are restricted, some lightcones will never see any use because of this. That preservation lightcone that heals at beginning of battle, would be cool for solo sustain welt or some other niche shit. That trend of unviersal market would be a cool allterntive to patience for kafka or slap it on a healer in a dot team and have fun. Make the world clamour is never going to be used, at least with some people with amazing needed burst, it would see some use. planetary would be a good option for healers of the same element as dps, memories would be good for break effect builds, u could use past and future and speedtune natasha or something to make her useful. And not just 4 stars but 5 stars too, jing yuans LC would be good on topaz and ratio, huohuo LC can b eused as psedo sustain, luocha LC can b eused by ruan mei or asta to give extra speed. Just so many interactions, all lost down the drain cause of absolutely no reason.. And can go on and on, star rail has done many things good, but they fucked up lightcones. First by removing them from the shop, back in beta when u could buy the gacha lightcones for 50k credits lol, and then by restricting them.

You won't believe it, but whenever I see a physical weakness in MoC, my first idea is always "why not try using Natasha"? :) And then she dies all the time :( :( :(

She is still my second heal (Loucha always in first team with Blade). I can replace her with Gepard sometimes but if shields doesn't work in curently situation and my second team REALLY needs healing then Natasha shines like a sun!)

Yeah she is definitely a training wheels kind of character, she's mostly there to just get you through the story but after you start obtaining some of the better sustainers, your gonna outgrow her very quickly. For me personally I think it was in 1.2 when I got gepard, never looked for her again after that point, then fu xuan came out and the rest is history

Poor Nat... So beautiful

I still use Natasha at level 67 cuz she’s my best and only healer 😔

The truth is, if you want a good and better team, you need to get the limited 5 star characters, thats a fact. 5 stars will be better then 4 starts. The problem is if in the future, a new character comes up and they powercreep Luocha or Huohuo for example

I still have my Natasha full equiped and time to time try to improve the stats on her build when farm for others (in case i get a good piece wich work for her). She has a special place on my heart and i refuse to abandon her just because there's better character.

Natasha is the only healer I have right now, but she is a real life savior. I lost two of my units against Phantylia in the third phase in the storyline. Only Jing Yuan and Natasha were left and if I remember correctly, I had to keep Jing alive. There were too many close calls because of the bosses' attacks kept itching my HPs away as well as reduce my skill points. But thanks to Natasha's skills and talents, I manage to buy enough time to finish the boss.

Great video, just wanted to point out that at 8:56 you mentioned HoyoVerse *never* buffs old characters. This is only strictly true for Genshin. Honkai Impact 3rd had updates to old battlesuits (characters) called Augmentation or Augment Core upgrade, eg. Molotov Cherry --> Fervent Tempo. Just wanted to point out a minor inaccuracy since you used a generalized statement by saying HoyoVerse 👍

The fact that she carried my team alot of times during boss fights. Back then, I struggled a lot with Phantylia, resulting in me raging and almost breaking my mouse. But when I switched out my original team and changed Ratio to Natasha, the whole fight went smoothly. Fighting Sam was hard. His skill points thing was a pain in the ass, and the thing where you lose HP after using a skill was diabolically annoying. Nat was the last character standing, she was at 1 HP, but I kept going and finally won. She's like a mother to me.

She carried my team so well! Even up to now I use her now 💅

I recently switched her out because I got one of my favorites, Gallagher. I’ll never forget how she carried my team until Trailblaze lvl 55

carried us all through early game

although my natasha is retired she still carried my team as a sustain in all through out the story of jarilo vi

one of the reasons why Lynx also became the better 4 star Abundance unit was because all of her abilities scaled off of her HP, which meant that she could deal some damage with her basic attack during the turns when no one needs healing, compared to Natasha, whose basic attack scales off of her ATK for some reason compared to the rest of her kit that needs HP

I was lucky (or unlucky bc i really wanted Welt) enough to get both Gepard and Bailu from beginner banner and my first 50/50 loss. And they carried me so hard in every aspect. But when it came to fighting Kafka in SU they were both useless bc they had no cleanse. Thats when i decided to give Natasha a shot and she delivered lol. Now I mainly use my e1 Fu Xuan and e4 Lynx to sustain in MoC (which I've max starred during the latest rotations), but I really want HuoHuo on her rerun for PF or maybe a certian imaginairy preservation....

powercreep? yeah. but natasha will always be an important starter sustain character

I still use Natasha in my team, cause i don't have any other healer accept Lynx ( too lazy to build her) i don't pull other 5* healer cause i already love Natasha character

love how bailu got the qiqi treatment in tier lists

Funnily enough Natasha is the only healer I've e been using, not even Lynx. Was shocked to see my annual report and the most used unit in EVERY month was Natasha

5:03 the 5 hp clutch look cool

I've had bronya since my first 10 pull and i got bailu and even e1 gerpard a bit later on standard however i never abandoned natasha i use her on all my teams to this day and I e6'ed her. it's not even a simp thing i just find her enjoyable and easy to play. i'll probably still use her years from now just to spite everyone who doesnt use her lmaooo💀

Natasha is still good due to her cleanse, mass heal and emergency heal. And considering how the new content make us like Herta and Himeko, I will expect that in near future there will be a content where old characters shine.

Playing since launch. Natasha is my main Healer. My only other Healer is lynx. If I had luocha or huohuo my main Healer would change...

Until I got Huohuo...Natasha was my almost immortal solo doctor.

Quick anwser:Got powercreeped Crazy how in HSR sustainers and buffers are the ones that actually get massive powercreeps

Natasha kinda carried me until i got Lynx and hopefully soon Gallagher for 4 star healing option. like these two healers are just very strong, Lynx has a partywide heal and Cleanse, Galagher can help with break teams and stuff like that, i mean i was kinda expecting natasha to be powercrept i mean she and march are good as starter units(unlike genshin with amber.) but sooner or later their gonna get replaced by better sustain units.

I still using her .. she just fine to me

Tasha is still in my team since I haven’t bothered to build my FuXuan/HuoHuo.

I have a story mode team for story and natasha will be my healer in that team for a long long time. Since story mode is quite easy, using anyone is good enough MC carry all the way

My 10/10/10 Natasha is still the only healer I have built on my account. Yes I also have Lynx and Bailu XD

Still using her on MOC, swapping with lynx, they both my best healers so far.

She's still my best abundance, had her at e6 and fully build and I still favour her over my e4 Lynx. I can definitely see why Lynx is better than Natasha but I just like her character and design more, I'm still gonna use her as long as she's still capable to sustain my team.

you forgot to include that Lynx can also give a minor buff for her Skill Target at E4

I still use her because of her direct Debuff remover on her skill. Although, Lynx is good but waiting for her Ultimate feels like centuries

Funny story Natasha was my soul healer up until Tinyuns's death when I pulled a huohuo I was actually upset because that would mean i have to level up an entirely new healer so i looked on KZfaq to see whether it was worth leveling up my huohuo and after that now I only have one usable healer as my Natasha sits there at level 54 sad

I have to say if you had an even remotely fast Seele and Bronya. Bailu felt useless you'd get so many turn with Seele that her healing buff would fall off. Luocha's heal being a Field effect is the only thing that prevent it from struggling like Bailu.

I will still remember that i e6 natasha carrying

There might be better options, but I've been using her for MoC and latest content, same with Yanqing

I'm gepard guy, never use her even back at 1.0. then now i have luocha and Lynx, even huohuo

Until I get Huohuo and Fu Xuan, Natasha is going to have a permanent spot on my teams. I need sustainers, and she's my only one. Natasha's still gonna tag along, for a long while.

I have an amazing fully built natasha im saveing for gllager

Underused since there's better alternative but useful for me since i need a 2nd healer in moc

Bro's boutta turn into the hunt with using a bow.

Gotta love that background Hollow Bastion music

She was my 2nd favorite character. I e6 her and Hook bc I enjoyed them way too much.

Natasha is ok. She does what her free 4 star self is allowed to do but as you progress through the game and get Lynx and other substainns, you will realise that she has glaring weaknesses.

I started playing in November, got Bailu and Gepard on the starter banner, got Lynx later. Essentially never used Natasha which I hated because I love her character design, and I am not a fan of Bailu's.

Natasha is currently my only healer qwq

Me who didn't get other healers : well lynx on the other team you should occupy this one Nat.

Tfw she's still my only healer up until finishing the second planet lmao

Damn, I just used my March and braved through it until I got Bailu, every other healer is locked at level 40

Well, I'm still using here since i have no other abundance characters except lynx and her

New players that join at 2.0 will only have Natasha at the moment

Why is Samito's channel in the background lmao

She is my main because her VA is the same as Rosaria who is my main in genshin

She doesn't even fullfied her role well, I tried to use her late in the game with the ornament that boost teamates of the same element (In this case Clara) and it didn't work well, I ended used Linx instead 'cause of the agro and better healing

I’ve only been playing for 2 weeks now, so honestly, Nat has been carrying me through this whole ordeal, especially with the fucking Penacony bosses

Until I got Fu xuan and Lynx I stopped using her but Natasha was still great during that patch carried me hard

i still use her tho excellent healer imo goes well with my squad fire mc+kafka+welt+natasha

HSR is gonna end up like genshin, back then, qiqi was considered a godly healer, now people get annoyed when they lose to her. And bailu would be the equivalent of that.

I Got bailu on the starter banner so i never really had to use natasha... xd I had to level her and march to get past world 5 in Simulated universe tho because Kafas Debuff was wipping my team ahh

Is it weird that I've never used Natasha that much? Might be because I got Bailu early on standard banner.

As far as Natasha was concerned, it was simply a lengthy waiting game for better healers and defensive units. You didn't use her out of preference but out of necessity to fill that defensive slot.

Natasha CARRIED me in the early game (i played in 1.2.2), but sadly replaced her with Huohuo in 1.5.2. She's still in my MoC second team tho (and that team is why i cant touch the purple MoC, i died everytime)

I still use her and I started in 1.0

Still using Natasha, since she the only healer that is lv80, building other healers takes time

My thoughts about nat is, she was serviceable but nothing stellar, she did had cleanse on skill but she needs sp to heal an okay'ish heal, her problem is that rly she only heals and her healing is very mid w out any type of buffs to compensate, so when you eventually get one five star sustain + lynx for example, that makes nat the worst option

I just want a Natasha alt to let her shine again

For me I continue to really on Natasha because even though I have linx I enjoy Natasha's personality and story more I'll use her for as long as I can until she becomes completely obsolete I hope that doesn't happen

I still use my natasha ❤

I got Bailu on my very first 10-pull on the beginner banner, waaaaay before I got Natasha. So, I never really had a reason to build her and play with her. But I still think that she's great, for the sole reason that not everyone gets lucky and pulls a Bailu, a Gepard, or any busted limited 5* sustain. I remember being new to the game, not playing efficiently because I didn't entirely understand the mechanics, my own characters, and the enemies I was up against. There were times I was struggling because using March just wasn't enough anymore. Especially against some of the tougher mobs. It was right then that I got Bailu, and that was such a blessing. Having the ability to heal was simply incredible! Everything was easy from that point, I didn't really struggle, I rarely lost any characters. But as stated, not everyone gets so lucky. And if you're that person who's just as new and clueless as I was, but not nearly as lucky, then you're going to be SO relieved once you get your Natasha and finally gain the ability to heal. She's going to be an incredible character, because she can do something nobody else could in your team previously, something that you probably have wanted for a while at that point. Imo, that simple thing makes her a very valuable character. Not irreplaceable. But very, very valuable.

To be honest, she's never been good for me. It's probably because I started playing a little later and my DPS I got Way too early was jing liu and even though she was good, especially compared to other dps's at that level she wasn't obliterating everything so my team was still taking damage from the enemy and Natasha just couldn't keep up with a mix of Jing Liu team damage and the enemies. She just couldn't keep up so the second to healer was on banner. I pulled them
