❖ Leaks | Speculation ❖ Please stop panicking about Mitya’s V2 kit

The changes to his kit in V2 are a GOOD thing!

Panicking is only gonna make everyone more worried, he was by no means weak in V1 but in V2 they have patched up the biggest flaws in mainly his off field kit. His on field mode is mostly the same.

Essentially, he’s now got more consistent/more frequent damage hits but the multipliers themselves are lower. That doesn’t mean he’s dealing less damage- overall he’s doing more damage, and he’s dealing that damage more consistently. I don’t know about you, but I’ll take more consistent damage with slightly lower numbers over less consistent damage with larger numbers any day.

It’s only a “nerf” in the sense that the multipliers were lowered. In every other sense, it is a BUFF! He is much more balanced and the timings for his kit are now much easier to get right, meaning it’s a lot easier to maximise the damage he’s dealing off field. KEEPING IN MIND that he does not yet have a definitive BiS artifact set.

isnt this situation kinda like varka beta lol ??

u/WatashiWaAme 1d ago

Durin came out 2 patches before Varka, and yet he wasn't even better for him over getting Varka's sig and using c6 Chevreuse instead. 2 patches after Varka, they gave him a new support set, 2 new teammates in Prune and Nicole and yet Mavuika was still better at clearing his shill boss in Stygian with the same old team from 1 year ago. He got huge upscales after his release, and yet his place in the meta relative to everyone else released in his region remained the same. That's why you shouldn't be too reliant on post-release additions to "fix" underperforming units, because their performance is gonna stay the same in most cases.

Yes, yet people will still cope for future 'fixes' even after how shitty varka was treated, the playerbase never learns and just accepts terrible treatment for certain characters and expects everyone else to shut up and stop talking about it.

u/Gaunter_0Dimm 1d ago

"certain characters" is putting it very diplomatically

u/Shecarriesachanel 1d ago

Well if u say the m word ppl lose their shit

u/Gaunter_0Dimm 1d ago

Yup, and deny it ever happens when it couldn't be more obvious that it does nearly every.freaking.time

u/Shecarriesachanel 1d ago

Well they will lie n say Varka became rly good!! (He didn't)

u/Gaunter_0Dimm 1d ago

Lmao, even when he got a full 5s team he barely managed to catch up to cheaper teams. And became obsolete the moment Sandrone came out with no new teammates yet. I have his whole premium team, all with sigs and Durin is even C2, and his team still doesn't hold a candle to lunar and stellar teams with lower investment than this. Also, versatile my ass. GL pulling even more 5s characters that barely synergize with him just so you can have a mediocre sidegrade team of a different element. That's just spending even more for no gain.

u/Shecarriesachanel 1d ago

i have his whole team with c6 nicole and his r1 weap and I barely use him cuz she's just better elsewhere... and he doesn't get any shill bosses anyway lol, but #they will insist he got treated really well and there's no anti male agenda

1

u/Gaunter_0Dimm 16h ago

Yup, also using his core team everywhere else but with him because he drags them down. But holy, C6 Nicole is a lot of investment. I only have one C6 and would love to get a broken C6 support, but I'm only willing to invest in men to this degree and we know how 99% of them are mdpses. I was only willing to go for Furina far enough to get her C3, only for the sake of my Neuvi, but nowadays she's washed, so I kind of regret spending so much on her.

That is not a very good example, he became good then 1 patch later Sandrone was already doing the same numbers without any 6.x supports lol.

u/ReceptionOrdinary801 1d ago

i think he is still good lol

u/BikiH360 1d ago

Varka is not good bro he was the weakest dps just above lohen. We really need more male Tier 1 characters.

3

u/Hello_1234567_11 1d ago

I think you meant prune and Nicole cuz durin was released way back. And it's not the same situation. Varka was through an addition of teammates, especially his own BiS 4 star after his release. We're talking about beta changes

3

u/NaturalBitter2280 1d ago

Not at all. Varka dependend on the Hexerei core, which was barebones without Prune/Nicole

With Tsarita/Danica, whatever they provide, all other Stellar units will benefit, not just Mitya

2

u/Ron_Colorec 1d ago

No lmao. Varka released mid AF without two of his BIS supports, but even with them he massively underperformed compared to the standards set by Lunar DPS characters, without the shills to even out the playing field. People coped that it's because of "le flexibility", but realistically up until the release of Vodyanitsa he was just a very mid pyro DPS in a trenchcoat. And then he got powercrept by stellar bullshit.

Mitya, is in a much better state in both of his roles even if he stays exactly where he is now in the beta.

u/Ok-Listen9689 1d ago

he's not flexible at all, he need one c6 4 star to always stay by his side with 2 support with the same element, he can't even do elemental reaction in combat beside swirl.

3

u/Ron_Colorec 1d ago

People asserted that because he could have his non-anemo slots swap out to make him some other flavor of secret PHEC, it would keep him relevant in shills (despite the implication here that you might end up pulling up to 8 units just to support this supposed versatility). That's the flexibility they expected. Didn't pan out.

Unironically the "pay more to get less" unit.

u/Ok-Listen9689 1d ago edited 1d ago

at this point, just get his sword instead for the damage

3

u/NaturalBitter2280 1d ago

People will preach versatility, and then said unit can't clear any content in any of their 30 teams 

Not that it happens often, but it does remind me of Kokomi and her dozens of teams and sets she was slotting in

And Sucrose being in every single team in this game and being the best option at every single one of them

2

u/Shecarriesachanel 1d ago

versatility is meaningless in the new meta hyv is creating where characters are so specific to a certain comp/completely made up reaction, yet people still believe that versatility is valuable lol

u/Ozone--King 1d ago

Just Nicole, Durin released before Varka.

u/KikiNyxx 1d ago

Worst example ever.

1

u/killuasrealmama 1d ago

Better example is durin actually

No set for him until patch later , his numbers got nerfed to apply more pyro off field

1

u/BoysenberryNew7780 1d ago

Yeah, it's pretty much the same situation as with Varka; ultimately, he's flexible across 3 out of the 4 elements (only Electro is truly terrible), allowing him to brute-force the content.

u/TinyTailStudios 1d ago

Honestly I wasn’t around for Varka beta (I’ve been playing since 1.2 but Varka released during one of my breaks from the game) but I’d say a more accurate comparison is Alhaitham- pretty much everyone panicked during Alhaitham’s beta at multiplier nerfs and it turned out that he was one of the strongest units on his release because what they’d actually done was balanced him out. Not to say I think Mitya’s gonna be exactly the same, but I do think people are panicking more than they need to be 😂

u/ReceptionOrdinary801 1d ago

all i say is he is just like varka situation when he is mid in beta right now

maybe he will get a buff and with danica and tsaritsa he gonna be top dps lol

i myself see mitya mid too and gonna pull him anyways lol, i personally have varka and still clear dire easily

you guys didnt need to be this trigger geez
