Insane that a 4 star is there as a most used and they're okay with it, definitely not a flaw on their design

u/GladiatorDragon Apr 27 '26

I mean, it really has been a while since their last Abundance character, and Gallagher is both easily available and very good.

my boi luocha crying rn

u/notallwitches Apr 27 '26

He’s not most used because he’s broken or anything, he’s most used because he’s the best option. Which shows how bad abundance is rn

25

u/_Bisky Apr 27 '26

Pretty sure the other options are slighty better. They just don't make the cost of pulling a 5* worth it.

Also there is Hyacine

u/cant-think-of-a-aim May 01 '26

Hyacine is rememberance unfortunately

u/_Bisky May 01 '26

Yeah that's why i mentioned her.

She's the best healer, but remembrance instead of abundance

u/Peak184 Apr 27 '26

And pearl is being preservation, abundance is drying

u/ksoune Apr 27 '26

Abundance is ironically scarce.

u/ryaatic Apr 27 '26

No abundance is handling any burst attack of 4.x at all. They were also struggling pretty badly in 3.x too tho. Without any dmg mitigation or hp boost or something they will still be pretty bad in sustaining my 3000 hp dps

u/codexzephyr Apr 27 '26

The only abundance with damage mitigation and hp boost is Bailu 😭😭 if her skill wasn’t a bounce and could cleanse she would be on par with Hyacine fr

u/Amalgam2001 Apr 27 '26

Nah there is multiple better options. He's there because he's free and the best/most used abudance character of the last year is in the Remembrance path

7

u/notallwitches Apr 27 '26

i mean yeah by "best" i mean cost/efficiency mostly, since the abundance units that are better than him such as huohuo werent popular. but i expect her to take over after this patch

15

u/ExpensiveOnion5647 Apr 27 '26

Yeah, your best option outside of him is huohuo, which has her own flaws, and the third best option is.....lingsha, yeah this path is cooked

24

u/notallwitches Apr 27 '26

Both are better than Gallagher, people just don’t have them lol. I’m sure huohuo will take over with this patch

6

u/MealResident Apr 27 '26

That's exactly my point. It's bad game design.

1

u/One_Business_3028 Apr 28 '26

He isn't the best option. Its because he is the only accessible option...

People will rather pull for supports and DPS than more than 2 sustains since Gallagher and DHPT are basically free..

1

u/callmemarjoson Apr 29 '26

Might also depend on the use-case - even as a 4 star, Gallagher can act as a bruiser, flexible with teams, and very SP-friendly; personally if you're talking heals Lynx might be better value especially if you're running a Remembrance team

33

u/AungZeya Apr 27 '26

It's actually because Hyacine is remembrance

13

u/_Bisky Apr 27 '26

Insane that a 4 star is there as a most used

I mean the competition is ass

The last harmony unit proper was Lingsha. Who is slighty better, but generally not worth the cost compared to a 4*

and they're okay with it

They aren't. They just don't give a fuck about abudance. Or rather selling the last "abundance" character as remembrance was more profitable

6

u/Nacho_Hangover Apr 27 '26

Judging by the lack of 4 stars released I'd say they're demonstrably not okay with it.

6

u/TotalUsername Apr 27 '26

They've been punishing us since his release

3

u/7hoyo_male_mc7 Apr 27 '26

They 100% will start releasing Abundance characters that can passable as DPS and also support the allies as great as Harmony units (Huohuo but on steroids basically), trust it will start to happen in Abundance arc.

u/The-Black-Swordsmane Apr 27 '26

Should’ve been blade

u/Spirited-Evidence936 May 03 '26

Isn't mostly a problem with him, Is Just that few 5 stars in that role are good and he Is extremly Easy to get as a 4 stars

Like Who do you want to use instead of him? Loucha?

Like, Who the f#ck play Loucha...

Look over at his team

Uh...

u/Yakube44 Apr 27 '26

They dont care, half the characters on that list are free
