@leowo_uwu@biridesbenerer Well, you can always get one copy on release and 1 per rerun and get there pretty quickly depending on the character. I think this is only an issue for chatacters without their forst rerun.
@hoppie426@arlilicchino We have a single case of a character staying good long term and thats ruan mei. Buffs are way too random to bank on them. Most characters don't make it for a full patch cycle. Huohuo could be argued as well but that always heavily depended on how much damage you do.
@Mahito4Ever@arlilicchino Powerful does not mean long lasting though. Long lasting means still valuable 2-3 years after release without relying on surprise buffs that may or may not come.
@CaRt3r111@arlilicchino Both had massive dips in meta viability and got reworked kits and almost entirely new teams or team reworks though. This isn't "long lasting".
@Opezdaz@arlilicchino Dude just look at Ruan Mei rn or Jiaoqiu or Sunday. Even Sparkle before the novaflare. They age better than dps, sure, but useful long term is something else. Even Robin is lowkey dogshit and not used in any meta teams rn.
@TheChozenOn3@KinaTheFox2 Phainons bis was so good for him she got replaced by a novaflare at low cost. Other crysos heirs never even got a bis. Out of last years cast it's really just mono rem.
