Cubepixelz argues about the lack of justice for Ninggiang, particularly given her role as Tianquan, citing her power exhibited during the Liyue archon quest. Ssalari believes that Kaeya and Razor’s uniqueness make them deserving of 5 stars, while also expressing a wish for Traveler to be a ‘real 5-star’.
Character Design and Gameplay
J0k3d acknowledges the limitations of the existing gameplay, saying it ‘doesn’t benefit infusion supports’, a factor that could have lifted Candace into 5-star status. 1lluusio shares similar sentiments regarding Sara, critiquing the execution of her kit and the duration of buffs, thereby making it harder to integrate in a team. On a different note, Pray_To_RNGesus_ wishes Deyha had a ‘proper power budget’, insinuating that her abilities were limited due to her being a 4-star character.
All in all, it’s evident that Genshin Impact players have an emotional investment when it comes to their favorite characters, especially those they feel could shine even brighter with a few more design tweaks. Whether the developers heed these suggestions or continue to stir the pot with their character rankings is yet to be seen, but one thing is clear – the world of Genshin Impact is filled to the brim with potential for depth and complexity, giving players plenty of opportunities to delve deeper and explore the limits of their favourite heroes.
