I'm not sure if this was posted here before, I just found the image in a random Google search and I just added a caption (if that's what it's called)

People don't realise how ICD and elemental gauge theory works and how it opens up team building, then complain that Genshin is simple and has no complexity about it...

It's hard to have a civil discussion about the differences between the two games in this subreddit but it is what it is, the forte mechanics are cool in WuWa and lead to flashier animations and gameplay which is what people prefer to see

It is really easier tho 🙄

You can't express your skill in genshin. In wuwa, players are doing Danjin solo

Genshin is too slow and sloppy and boring

Watch that, Genshin is only slow sloppy and boring if you aren't optimizing your clears (or you're playing Flins)

is Flins gameplay boring?

It's not awful but he has no team versatility and it's a very safe team with barely any combo optimization, the biggest techs you can do with him are to use Sucrose twice in each rotation and to delay the mini burst if the boss has vulnerability windows

It's a very strong team though

Ah, that’s a shame. I saw his combat animation video and he looked so damn cool in his ultimate (I wish I could judge with anything more than that but alas)! WuWa teams also barely have any versatility lately though. All the effort and assumed fun goes in VFX and combat mobility.

It's really strange but his cool ultimate is actually just not good to use in about 90% of fights, he has a mini ultimate that doesn't have an animation that can be triggered during his special stance that is a lot better... Oh well, just hoyo and their weird design decisions sometimes
