Previously I was experimenting with Keqing/Xingqiu/Zhongli/Nahida (quicken + hyperbloom), and it worked surprisingly well... Recently I used Yanfei/Xingqiu/Zhongli/Nahida (burgeon), and it too worked surprisingly stupidly well. Until the shield runs out, hehe.
It still feels pretty unreal that now we can use triple EM artifacts and have reactions that nuke over 100k damage in total in one click. Perhaps this is what they call as powercreep...
Quicken and hyperbloom is super fun. I haven't tried burgeon yet personally, but I've seen really good things with it.
Yeah it does seem like a powercreep, but I think it's because there was already very good reactions like vaporize, and they wanted dendro reactions to be on par with that. Dendro was also a highly anticipated element and they probably didn't want to let players down.
But I also see it as a balancer because dendro reactions made the electro element good now which is nice, I felt that electro reactions were very lackluster before.
It's not only the reactions... Electro was underwhelming as a whole before this lol. Now we have, Keqing S tier electro DPS. Time really changes...
But at the end of the day, it means that we have more viable options to play! Good thing I guess. As long as they don't continue to multiply the Abyss mob's HP... The recent one is too tanky for me to figure it out.
Yeah I feel like the bosses and enemies are definitely getting more difficult in Genshin. Especially this new spiral abyss 🥴
