Feels like the video is just about him hating something popular

I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of Xiangling. I try to play Diluc. My Xiangling deals more damage. I try to play Yoimiya. My Xiangling deals more damage. I try to play Cyno. My Xiangling deals more damage. I don't even try to play Dehya. I want to play Klee. Her best team has Xiangling. I want to play Raiden, Childe - they both want Xiangling. She grabs me by the throat. I fish for her. I cook for her. I give her the Catch. She isn't satisfied. I pull Engulfing Lightning. "I don't need this much er" She tells me. "Give me more field time." She grabs Bennett and forces him to throw himself off enemies. "You just need to funnel me more. I can deal more damage with Homa." I can't pull for Homa, I don't have enough primogems. She grabs my credit card. It declines. "Guess this is the end." She grabs Gouba. She says "Gouba, get them." There is no hint of sadness in her eyes. Nothing but pure, no icd pyro application. What a cruel world.

As someone who once used a 4 star em  piece on sucrose swirl team, I can confirm the 48 em loss doesn't matters.

Compared to most clips this is surprisingly sane

Also it's near impossible to fuck up a hyperbloom rotation especially with kuki. Like in melt and vape teams it matters so much more lmao

The greatest value of hyperbloom teams is that is shores up skill issue. Many players can't handle complex, tightly timed rotations while also dodging or trying to manually group enemies. Most hyperbloom teams have very flexible rotations.

Mr Socks is correct about the investment debate. 2pc/2pc is enough and much much easier to get. Also, a 4* goblet isn't much of a loss.

Video guy missed the main points in favour of Hyperbloom:
1. Easy as fuck to play
2. Generally incorporates a healer as Kuki, Yao² or Baizhu so chars don't die easily
3. Achieving 600+ Em is very easy, (2pc+2pc included) you get 165-200 em just from weapon alone.
4. You can passively farm Gilded em sands, gob, circ while building your Dendro char with 4pc Deepwood.

I'm 99% that video was made as bait to get people to write comments so they farm interactions, I remember myself seeing it very early on and wanting to leave a comment to dispute many of the arguments but caught myself in time and didn't do it. Like sure it's a viable way of getting attention on youtube but it feels quite scummy

nah the "ZOMG EM SO RARE MAIN STAT" bullshit argument is so stupid. with the amount of em buffers, em weapons, dendro resonance, and instructor set, you can easily hit the cap or threshold needed for em for hyperbloom to do well and also you dont NEED the flop set either. its like 8% increase? or less from guilded which youre already farming for your precious HYPERCARRIES like alhaitham and cyno (if ur not cool and using tf). im shocked he didnt say, since this is from the perspective of a new player, that the resource needed for level 90 characters is insane at the start as opposed to just rando artifacts.

scara set for me is like vermilion for zyox that's why i have 4pc flop on my kuki

My guy really put barbara in a hyperbloom team coz he knew if he replaced her with "one of the three xingquis" they would actually have enough hydro app for a viable hyprebloom team

hyperbloom actually really helped me enjoy the game more, its very fun to play for me and i got so used to it. nahida changed basically everythin

I don't care if it's overrated if it's the thing that helped a skill issue player like me to 36 star the abyss lol

Some of chat got real dense at the end lol, you can totally get away with a 4 star artifact and clear floor 12. You want your HB trigger to have ~1000 EM or as close as you can get but you can achieve that with 2x 2p sets, the Instructors buff... Etc. is it IDEAL? No. But that's what Zyox is saying about the Hyperbloom "floor", because a scuffed HB setup where the only thing you really focus on is the HB trigger's EM is still good enough to clear most content, including Abyss floors.

I didn't play through all of Sumeru and had to learn all this from scratch when I returned, but I could easily slap 2pc/2pc EM on Kuki and use her to HB my way through one side of the Abyss, using artifacts I got naturally while farming bosses.

And even putting its potency aside, last thing is that it's not that HB is low investment in a vacuum. It's that a HB setup is almost bound to come together by accident while either farming different resources or just putting a good team together which happens to consist of a Hydro/Dendro or Dendro/Electro core.

I actively spent 15k+ resin & fishing for the catch to build raiden for rational & hyper carry, then hyperbloom came & straight up powercrept it, I spent less than 3 weeks farming deepwood domain for Nahida (she still has a crappy build with 4* em sans) & my raiden automatically got 900+ em on a 4pc gilded with dragon's bane, now she's stuck being a hyperbloom bot until I get c2 (hopefully next patch).

i like how 10 minutes of the video is invalidated because you can strongbox FLOP now

zy0x mixed up with Golden Dreams and GIlded Troupe is the best thing in this video

i liked the part where he made the dogshit HB team the guy said and it actually didnt perform terribly (only against the chicken who has dendro res)
TBH id love to see what the guy said about national, and what team would he recommend if hyperbloom and national arent good

I'm a relatively new player (started during the last kokomi banner and took a month break after). I was able to get 9* this abyss with DPS kokomi on one side and hyperbloom on the other with baizhu and a level 50 kuki (I just got her this banner). The floor for hyperbloom is so much higher than any other comp I've used (as a new player)

You can watch a 36 star clear with 3 ungeared characters and a Kuki with some 4 star artifacts, getting 90s clears on the HB side. The floor is pretty low if you know what you're doing, and no one who's worth listening to thinks it's the ceiling.
