Yuki's Performance [4]
I'm sure you all are aware by now of the complaints surrounding Yuki. I'm not sure what were your philosophy around her kit, and how she plays, but here are my thoughts. I currently have her at level 60, maxed gear, crit rate 50%, and crit damage 160+%. My build is very optimal with her best equipments.
Her pros:
1) She excels at clearing VERY EASY content, she
makes quick work of lower level content. You can argue that every other character can do so too.
2) Her inspiration mechanic is fun to play.
Her cons:
1) She only excels at lower difficulty content. The moment the mobs have a bit more HP, or defense, she struggles a lot. Don't get me started on bosses with 15k+ HP. It becomes a very long and tedious fight. Not fun at all.
2) She's very combo heavy, with little pay off. You are heavily reliant on your teams draw ability, and even then, the pay off for lining up your combos feel underwhelming. Once you invest heavily in her, you can crit for 1k+, but when your enemies have higher defense and HP, it doesn't matter. Fights still drag on, while other characters like Rin can scale very well, and do substantial damage. So much damage that she can kill one enemy after the other, basically making her better to play in AOE fights, than Yuki at higher difficulties. Which makes Yuki feel more like a 4 star, tbh.
3) Her ego skill is a waste of time. I get the idea, all her dead cards, recycle them back into the deck. But if she doesn't have a way to draw them back again that turn, all you did was subpar damage, and passed your turn. Other characters ego skill compliments their kit or helps with a certain weakness of theirs. Hugo ego gives him AOE, since he's lacking in that regards, etc. Yuki ego skill feels like a waste, for a whopping cost of 5 ego points.
Those are some of my thoughts, she's a very well designed character, I like her, I've been playing her non-stop. But I feel like I'm deliberately handy capping myself trying to make her work, when I can just keep playing my Rin, or Khalipe. I have more invested in Yuki than my other characters that perform even better without those investments, which is very telling. I hope you guys can adjust her kit, give her some de-buffing capabilities, increase her multiplayers, make her ego skill be able to draw 2 or something, idk it's up to you. If not, I am begging you, don't make the same mistake with future banners. This is a pve game, making all characters perform somewhat similar, won't kill the game, it will give players options. But Yuki is just underperforming a lot in comparison to the characters we have now. You guys have been doing well with all the previous characters, none of them felt bad, they felt viable. So pulling Yuki was a ko brainer, because, I figured she would be the same, but I was so wrong!
You guys have Mei Lin doing 30k on a boss, Renoa doing 20k, Kayron stacking futility for massive damage, etc, why limit Yuki ? Anyways, I digress. I hope you guys address this, let us know if you'll buff her, or not. Players deserve to know what are your thoughts.

The ego skill is fine. Yes, you gotta think before using it, as it's not worth it, if you cannot pull the cards again, but it fixes the problem of you having to play cards without the inspiration on them and gives you knowledge about what you're pulling next.
The main problem why Yuki seems weak, is because there's no content in the game that needs consistent and reliant aoe damage from your team, even though she's the best at that. So I do understand your frustration, but keep in mind that her multipliers will make her really really good in future content with 3-5 enemies that aren't trashmobs that just die in round 1 and she'll have a huge advantage over all the single-target damage dealers including Mei Lin.
But yea, against single target bosses she doesn't shine, and she also shouldn't because if she does, then why would you ever play any other character.
Definitely won't be renewing my monthly sub. Not only does it feel bad that I've wasted all those resources to pull, but also to level her up. The chaos is starting to feel tedious now to farm. That's a whole different problem. I'm waiting to see how things go, before investing again. I'm honestly not optimistic about Chizaru anymore either.
just dont spend money in this game again ,that's the only language developers understand
I was one of the people who called for this, but now I think Dev isn't interested in fixing anything. I try build yuki cost 0 to play sub-dps with little dmg
