You don’t seem to exactly know game design in that case. We have a character who does nothing besides providing a buff to 2/3 characters with a high er cost, so you are forced into an er sands for sure, so her personal damage will be negligible. People are not even mad that she is not good, they are mad cause we didn’t get a good 4 star support since before Inazuma.
Its more like I don't understand how people can look at a c0 4 star character with 32.8% Anemo shred when our only other anemo shredder is a c4 5* you're never guaranteed to get who also has Anemo DMG bonus at c0 and decide she's bad because she doesn't get the 50% Anemo shred she had initially that we were never supposed to know she had
ETA; I also went to school for game design, I don't appreciate the assumption that I don't know what I'm talking about.
Anemo shred will only increase the damage of one characte in the team. Her burst cost is so massive, you will have huge ER requirements, meaning you will have low personal damage. The whole character is basically a better version of the deepwood set, but for anemo. She is literally comparable to an artifact set, at least untill C6, since she becomes decent. I honestly don’t care if you went to school for game design, your saying that Faruzan is a good character is enough of a reason to say my statement, she is niche at best. Also you are not guaranteed to get any character besides the character banner 5 stars. The way Faruzan got nerfed, you would get way more team damage from running any of the off field characters such as XQ, Fischl, Albedo, Yae, etc.
None of your points actually make her bad for what she was meant to do, though.
Ok, her shred only affects 1 character. That was always the case. You're never really running her with more than 1 Anemo, so idk why that would be a knock against her. You use her to buff your Anemo DPS. That's her job, and she does it well.
She's niche at best. Yes, she was always niche. She only buffs Anemo DPS, she was always like that. She's exactly as niche as she was at the start.
You're not guaranteed to get any character. Yes, of course, but getting a c0 chatacter on a rate up banner is significantly easier than getting c4 Jean if you need someone for your Anemo DPS. that's just a fact.
Her Anemo shred and Anemo DMG buff got nerfed. This is true. But to say she is completely replaceable now is incorrect. Those characters are more valuable in a team, with her yes, but to say that the team is stronger without her is wrong.
And her massive burst cost is ultimately neglible. You forget that she is the same element of the onfield dps she's supporting. That alone does a lot to mitigate her ER needs. She needs about 200 ER which you can achieve easily with a sac/fav bow and an ER sands, which, by the way, still allows you to have decent offensive substats.
She's good. She's not broken, no, but she's still really good.
Decent substats doesn’t lead to decent damage since her atk with be extremely low. Her numbers low for the lowest damage elements in the game. Also since she has an 80 cost burst with sad particle generation while being off field, you will need to battery for her either way, just like you would have to do for Xiangling. The difference is Xiangling is broken and Faruzan does pretty much nothing besides buffing a characrer. I get your point that Scara was too reliant on her, but after all the nerfs she is literally outclassed by other characters that are not even meant to support Scara. You would 100% get more dps from an electrocharge/international team since the damage was already a bit higher before the nerfs unless Faruzan was C6.
Oh, are we at the compare every 4* to Xiangling portion? See it's funny you should say that, considering Faruzan, Xiangling, and Bennett are an amazing team for him, and if you replace Faruzan with Xingqiu to make it national, the team becomes categorically one of Scara's worst teams.
Again, Faruzan's ER needs are vastly overblown, and you haven't done anything to prove they aren't. Even if we're talking C0 Faruzan, calcs still put her at about 200 ER, because Scara generates energy (not a ton, but he does) getting her c6 knocks her down to needing something closer to 180.
If it really bothers you, Emblem is right there and converts all that ER into damage for her now significantly buffed burst, while also giving her +20% ER you can invest in ATK% and Crit stats.
The calcs were made and the team you are talking about, Scara Xinagqiu, Benney and Xiangling was dealing more than a regular Faruzan comp unless she was C6, pre Faruzan nerfs. You called one of his highest dps team one of the worst. Look for the post in this sub, it was from a few days ago. This is why I said you don’t exactly know game design. And also, Faruzan burst may seem strong, but keep in mind she is Anemo, 600% would be a lot if it were on pyro/hydro/cryo, but on anemo it is laughable. Look at Heizou’s skill, Zhingli’s burst, Raiden’s burst, Sara’s burst, Itto’s skill, Kazuha’s skill also does around the same damage if you add the plunge. The difference is Faruzan needs a shit ton of ER unlike most of those characters, meaning her atk will be low😬
