This question has been popping up a lot in the overview video, so I just want to set the record straight. As of right now, I don’t have plans to make a “Traveler to Trailblazer” version of this series. The main reason being that since I don’t play HSR as much, I don’t really understand all the advanced or intricate mechanics in that game. So I worry I might make a bad or boring kit since I wouldn’t understand the finer details. Additionally, the motivation and interest isn’t really there, for whatever reason that may be. With that being said, never say never. There’s always a chance I’ll try this series out, but for now, I wouldn’t expect one anytime soon. Maybe one of you might be able to try your hand at that series ;)

If he ever does boothill, he'd be a shatter based dps

Actually you’d have 3 nickels. Cuz lingyang from wuthering waves (who’s also ice) is considered the worst standard character in that game

As a physical enjoyer I love this idea. And I have an idea for the break effect dps(for example Xueyi, Sushang, and mainly Boothill). What if we keep their idea of break toughness bars but make it fit genshin. By making them shield breakers. So those pesky abyss lectors, mages and just enemies with element shields these guys specialize in dealing with them. Xueyi you could give her any element but I think it would be cool if Sushang and Boothill keep their physical element. Also these guys are finally the mitachurl wooden shield killers

This character feels like something Hoyo would make for their upcoming 5.0 meta plans. I tell you 5.0 will focus on double dps, that's my prediction since 4.0 was Hp manipulation meta and 3.0 was dendro meta.

i love the idea of making Yanqing an on-field physical DPS and in concept this kit fits super well. in execution however? i dont think it holds up too well. i think the biggest flaw is that his skill can trigger off-field; even with the 50% chance of triggering, taking the attack speed of most characters into account and the fact that a failed followup doesn't have a cooldown, you'd still get the majority of his damage output. i haven't calced anything but im pretty sure youd get at least 80-something % of his skill procs. additionally, basing his normal attack pattern off of Xingqiu is a huge detriment to his on-field performance. Xingqiu's normal attacks are pretty slow and the clunky animations make attack speed buffs less effective on him. to top it off, basing his multipliers off of xingqiu's normal attacks also hampers him since Xingqiu is designed to be off-field, his normal attack multipliers are pretty bad. his skill has a 6 second cooldown making his a1 kind of pointless. the 30% ATK hit of cryo wont have any cryo dmg bonus buffing it, if he's built as a physical dps, so its only purpose is to apply cryo. but his skill has a 6 second cooldown which is really short. his snowshard attacks have pretty terrible scaling, especially when you consider that they're physical dmg. along with his burst having low scaling in comparison to other dps units he feels incredibly weak. overall, i think in concept this kit works but if actually implemented, itd be worse than klee or possibly even Qiqi. if i were to rework this, to make him an on-field physical dps, i think id do the following: Buff up his normal attack multipliers, using other on-field dps units as reference, namely alhaitham as they have similar playstyles of using normal attacks to drive skill damage. i imagine his scaling would be around 5% higher than alhaithams, since alhaitham gets an infusion and elemental damage is inherently stronger than physical. im assuming he'd have different, more fluid normal attack animations than xingqiu. tweak the skill so that it has higher scaling and that it has either a longer snowshard cooldown when he's off-field or a lower chance of it triggering. for reference, i'd look at Xingqiu's rainsword multipliers. on one-hand being physical dmg, they should have higher scaling but on the other, Yanqing's snowshards are tied to his skill not burst like xingqiu. i'd say keep them around the same to balance out. i'd also make his skill have a 12 second cooldown, to match the 12 second uptime. i'd adjust the burst to be like keqing's in a way; multiple small hits of cryo followed by a larger hit of physical dmg. my reasoning behind this is mostly just because i think it'd fit better with the animation of his ultimate. this is entirely a personal thing tho so it isn't necessary. replace the A1 entirely. whenever he triggers a cryo related reaction/ superconduct, summons a sword that pierces the enemy dealing somewhere around 30-50% ATK of physical dmg keep the a2, i think it fits well with him. as for constellations, id only change up his c6. i think having him avoid damage is the most interesting part of his kit and i think leaning into it would be better. i'd keep the first part (extending the uptime when defeating enemies) but alter the second half. i'd change it to when he has soulsteel sync activated and is protected by a shield he gains a dmg bonus that stacks up every second, in a similar vein to yelan's a4, 'Adapt With Ease'. in actual gameplay, i imagine (with a team of yanqing, fischl, mika and layla or c1 beidou) the rotation would start with fischl, switch to layla/beidou and get your shield, swap to mika to burst and skill, before swapping to yanqing where you'd skill and burst before driving your Snowshard damage for the remainder of your buffs' uptimes, then repeat.

I'd love to see Imbibitor Lunae as a Hydro, catalyst user that focuses on Charge attack Is Charge attack with out the stack (lets call it Beneficent Lotus) could be his 2 skill point basic: Divine spear. To get these stacks it would def be through his ult and skill Skill could be sacrificing a portion of his HP to get stacks of Beneficent Lotus, or it could be like Hu Tao with her skill Theres alot you could do with Imbibitor Lunae

Blizzard strayer still can be used without capping cr much - can just give him as much crit damage as possible (as with other cryo units with blizzard set).

Yay! I'm really happy we start with a Physical DPS :3 i use Mika a lot, even on comps where it isn't recommended lol (auto attacking Venti, anyone?), so i'm happy to see Physical get some love!

I feel like I’d have made him a cryo dps who’s soul steel would give him the infusion, then realistically keep everything the same really really, after all he uses ice swords

maybe more like cryo keqing?

i am think a ice Xingqiu

After ep 0 I was fully expecting u to make him a catalyst user that throws swords like he does in his skill also u could've made him a pure cryo dps aka like lyney but I digress

I would def pull for him🙏🏾

YEEEEAH MY FAV IS THE FIRST LET'S GOOOO

i lost e3 acheron and e0 aventurine to this loser but you made him seem really fun in genshin honestly. i wonder if they'll ever make a character that relies a lot on not getting hit to achieve their max potential, but with hoyo's stance on difficulty in genshin im not holding my breath

i feel like this off-field playstyle is basically chiori but attacks faster and is more of an on fielder it is unique enough thouhg very cool i like it

frothing at the mouth. my baby was first im so happy

I am not disappointed at all... actually I really like it. Just a little advice, you may want to include more visuals of the character you are talking about, for example when you explained his ult you could use the animation of the ult instead of a montage of the abyss, same for the skill, this will help to people who is less familiarized with the character to understand what you are talking about, but overall it is a great first video. For next character maybe Bronya or Ruan Mei, I feel supports will be more interesting to adapt.

kinda was hoping the "follow up attack" stuff like clara would be implemented as the offield physical, shortsighted on my part also kinda weird, the offield physical skill set there's just so incentive to play without the shatter, right? since phys has no reactions, you remove shatter and like why would I play it if it's just objectively worse idk it just feels like such a waste in part besides that honestly sick idea, it does feel kind of like a standard character, love the design, everything is coherent, and not to mention phys love frem my goat mentioned also

I like the name of the light cone😊😊😊

in terms of next unit what's on my mind is welt's slows (maybe geo; mud? vines and entanglement?), march 7th's single shield/aggro (with relation to remembrance if not for her ult I'd totally say she could be dendro) , cleansing abilities in general (should they be actual cleanses, elemental cleanses, or just light heals like gorou c4) luocha and gallagher's heal on hit also sounds like a fire mechanic, especially gallagher since he's more dps oriented, (can't remember how you wanted to implement break related kits mbmb) qinque's gambler kit by far is what I really wanna see tho, gambler nuke dps

Would love to see Seela to see how the quantum element would be addressed

4:11 no way i actually thought this was Yangqing in Genshin 🤣😭

Now I don’t exactly remember him being the *BEST* character at launch…

I really like this idea I i hope to see more of it. Ive also planed out a sires of my own with Genshin into Honkai Starail so I may use the statistics from the previous video but I wanted to let you know becuse I dont just want to cop the work yo did without credit though you may never see this comment.

I’d love to see genshin characters being on hsr. I thought about Kokomis kit being there. I believe she would be so good ♡

The worst part is my first five stars in each game was qiqi, then yanqing and then linyang

REALLY WANNA SEE HOW YOU IMPLEMENT HIMEKO INTO GENSHIM! GREAT CONCEPTS

I had this feeling when you were explaining things in the last video, but I think the restrictions you put on yourself are too much. between the natural cr, his skill, burst, and cryo resonance you are sitting at 98.8% crit rate with no substats or external buffs applied. anything beyond 1 crit rate substat instantly becomes useless. there are 2 ways to tackle this, one being you readjusting the numbers so there is less crit rate and more crit damage in the calculation, and the other is giving a way for the overcap to do something, which I know you mentioned the tsaritsa, but this should probably be through an artifact set, or at least be released into a Genshin where that character already exists and is a 4* (aka, no chance for it to be the Tsaritsa). My suggestion is crit rate = 2x or more crit damage, physical damage bonus, or attack this should probably have an additional bonus attached for reaching 150% cr or an additional bonus just so the proper build isn't pale flame with crazy artifacts, even if they are far more likely to get a better set with the new one many will farm pale flame because they are chasing the best build for their character and as a game developer you want to avoid things like that. This is further exacerbated by his signature and it's crit rate bonus. apart from that, I think it's a good design all around. I think it is fine in this case, but do pay attention to what you give a percent chance to activate to, I don't think anything that will affect elemental application should be based on chance like that, even Yelan, who has dice as a major part of their visual design, has 1 part of her kit based on chance which doesn't affect elemental application since you could simply sub the CA out for a normal attack.

Cool adaptation! Will be interesting to other genshin youtubers reactions on this. I am looking forward to see, what will you come up with Seele Skills.

it would be interesting to see sparkle and acheron in dis series

God I love this so much, I can't wait to see what you're gonna cook next. I'd honestly love to see how you would take over Argenti with his level 1 and 2 ult, Dr Ratio with his follow-up relying on debuffs to consistently proc, Acheron with her unique ult that needs debuffs to charge it instead of energy, and even the skill point generators so Sparkle/Hanya! It's up to you at the end of the day but one of these characters would make for a really interesting choice IMO

the only nitpick id have with this is the sig giving way too much critrate even if its only for skill and its a 5* weapon. In coparison to the other options which while yes are 4*s being the pipe at 16% and festering desire at 12% over 30% for a 5* sounds way too overkill. Personally id say 24% skill critrate is a nice place to sit at for an r1 5* weapon with a max of 36% at r5 either ways i like the idea hes pretty much a physical version of alhaitham but you can use him offield given alhaithams element being way more useful might be for the better. The idea of a character centering around driving their skill/burst but with backup of the kit like alhaitham does is really nice. While xingqiu and yelan can do that too to an extend it doesnt really feel as in tune with alhaitham and your version of yanqing. still a character id gladly try and play esp with that c1 also looking forward to seeing your itarations of Kafka and Welt given i actually designed my own versions for their genshin variants

OMG HE’S UPLOADING SM?? I LOVE MY LIFE

Is it just or when looking at the damage percentages of Honkai starrail characters and Genshin characters Genshins percentages are higher like Kaeya has 305.92% on his skill at talent level 8 while the very simular Dan Heng has 286% at trace level 12

That’s such a cool concept can’t wait for you to see qq or Clara in genshin

Nah man he's an off field sub dps the way you designed him As he is rn, he's clearly a off field nuke with that skill. 12s of free off field damage + 4 cryo particles. The 50% chance to hit doesn't matter if your on field attacks quickly since there's already a cd on how quickly the skill procs, you'll get pretty much 90% of his skill dps even if he's off field His A1 gives him identity crisis: Is he a cryo dps or phys dps? 30% cryo on every hit...? He already has his skill every 6s to apply cryo right? Unless his skill does no damage at all on cast A1 and A4 are the only things that point at him being an on field dps, which is rather confusing since it conflicts with what he does with the rest of his kit His burst is weird too. He's guaranteed to crit under burst, so you just build pure ER and crit damage on him (like 300+) and use his E and swap off and use him like you'd use Robin in HSR lol. That's like having a free mini Eula burst every 3s, but his multipliers kinda suck ngl, 88% damage is like 15-20k damage even with 300 cdmg (I'm estimating, didn't actually run the calculations, so I could be wrong) Comparing that to Xingqiu who has a similar playstyle with his rainswords, Xingqiu does 16k+ damage every second at C6 (I don't remember his multipliers, I think it's like 150% or something at level 13?) He majorly needs a buff, his A1 could be "Deals 30% increased damage to Superconducted enemies" (I mean the enemy takes a flat 30% extra damage from Yanqing, not under the category of elemental/phys damage buffs) A4 is flat out useless because you actually want to swap off him as his kit is designed so it should be attack speed for the whole party Mika does more than Yanqing the way Yanqing's kit is rn and Mika is uh.... Not really used much.

love this series!!! would be super hype to see boothill or black swan (my two mains)

Im def curious what youd do for a Quantum or Imaginary character, maybe Welt or Seele?

what's the name of the video you use at the beginning?

Hi, will you do the vice versa? Traveler to Trailblazer?

The kit you made is good but it would’ve been more accurate if he was mono-ice as in star rail one of his best teams is gepard(he is a strong ice shielder) pela(she reduces def and ice resistance) and silver wolf(she can implant a ice weakness on enemies and she has a lot of other debuffs) aka 3 ice characters + silver wolf (I still like your idea though)

This is such a cool concept and i was even surprised with the amount of effort in the vid. This yanqing is so overtuned though hahah That being said, good luck whenever sparkle, argenti, acheron, fu xuan, and/or aventurine get a video! I would love to see the limits of this concept put to the test.

Could you add your business email to your channel details?

So Make the characters weapons that they wield their signauteure like himeko uses a saw like weapon so just make it a claymore and use the passive of her signature lc but in this 5 star weapon

please do Acheron- 5star electro dps giving herself different buffs depending on the electtro reaction Silver wolf- 5star anemo Robin: 5star polearm cryo dealing 0 elemental damage and buffs physical dmg and atk speed Blade- 5star anemo claymore Jingliu- 5star claymore cryo switching stance after burst

Himeko next pls

im interested how youd ttanslate the RRAT&N team

Me: "Ah he would be a freeze cryo dps to mirror how he doesnt want to get hit in star rail" The video: "okay so he's a physical dps" Wasnt expecting that lol, but great analysis this was very interesting

0:31 I saw that too!

maybe just a difference in taste but i saw physical dps and did the exact ishowspeed fade he did when his viewer said his mom was kinda homeless. really cool concepts though

The "worst character is Ice-type" originated from Pokemon I guess.

I mean that basically xingqiu with on-field restrictions, right?😅

Wait but an attack with 88% atk is a very weak attack, so he would do negligible damage

Yanqing would be Xingqiu and Chongyun fused together

maybe DHIL could be an anemo polearm user because i never noticed but his design has a LOT of green in it. As for the kit im not so sure lol
