All these bitter MidYuan losers whining because their B tier unit about to get invalidated further. News flash MidYuan can get another 3 patches of indirect buffs and will still be total DS. Hoyoverse husbando cringelords are definitely some brain damaged sub humans to be sure. Thanks for the laughs though, keep it coming.
dude what age are u? like 12? its sad because u probably even bald
S tier my guy. S tier.
Mald and seethe when your virtual girlfriend sets on A tier at best ghahahaha
cant wait for prydwen to put acheron under JL and DHIL tier list and acheron pullers gonna mald hard on tier list LOL
Jing Yuan is Xiao of HSR lol.
I have no idea why his mains are so touchy. Just look at chads of Kafka mains. I dont remember any crying about her weakness at release, people just played her with crit build or used Sampo quietly and now are happily disintegrating everything on auto with RM and BS.
And here we have bunch of copers, who endlessly juggle TC, supports and sets trying to prove something.. Acheron having no team on release, in no way saves JY from being obliterated by Kafka rn.
Just check usage stats for latest PF – despite buff clearly helping FUAs, Kafka has higher usage. I.e. she is more used in PF cycle released to sell JY lol..
She will be a good benchwarmer for JY. When Robin comes, she will lose her relevance completely once more.
Another braindead troll. Pay no mind and don’t feed, it’s not worth the hassle and your precious time.
you’re a moron
Whatever helps you sleep at night my guy
What’s with those JY and acheron comparison lmao bruh JY having backloaded damage with LL is already big minus compared to other damage dealer.
Although she is listed as Nihility, her kit essentially functions like an Erudition. So naturally people will compare her to the other Lightning Erudition we have. Whether it’s a fair comparison or not, that’s not clear. But with Sparkle, JY became more viable so that also contributed.
They both have backloaded damage and similar playstyle.
Build stacks for LL, deal big AOE damage
Build stacks for Acheron ult, deal big AOE dmg
The difference is JY has less restrictive teams currently and units like Sparkle, Tingyun, and Huohuo are great with him but Acheron doesn’t use Energy and has passives that make her not synergize with some very good units
Huohuo/FX are good against CC so JY team is good but Aventurine is looking like a sustain unit that Acheron would like to have since he puts debuff on enemies to build her ult stacks faster but his CC resistance for allies is not as reliable. If Acheron teammate gets CCed, Acheron gets her ult slower
And waiting for Jingyuan’s shitty lightning lord even when you have 10 stacks is still worse. The player controls Acheron’s ult. Meanwhile if Jingyuan gets crowd controlled, LL goes on a vacation. A new cycle? LL went back down the order so now you get to do JY’s skill despite already having 10 stacks
Oh man, beside the cool visual combat animation of her, Acheron e6 is basically what her meant to be. But damm, that needs e6. Maybe I should just skip and enjoy many other future character rather than commit to get her e6. Surely there will be other more interesting and attractive new characters eventually.
That could be said about any character. Afterall, Eidolons are meant to further enhance a character. But hey, sounds like she’s an easy skip for you and you can get other things. Good for you! Saving is always a good outcome.
What I mean is specifically about how special her e6 that provide her a universal dmg that can reduce all enemies toughness regardless any weakness type, totally ignoring 1 of the main aspect of this game combat system, which is actually beneficial to our party and account.
This is something that you don’t get from other characters even at e6, except only for part of their kit. And of course, Acheron should have the highest damage potential here.
Fair, but her main thing is her ult, which already depletes toughness regardless of type as part of her talent. E6 is just a bonus to her skill (you should never BA as her anyway), which is only used for stack generation for her ult. Ultimately (hehe), it’s a nice bonus for more breaks, but is not so necessary that without it she’s incomplete.
That’s how I see it anyway
I do like Acheron but my only question is how good is her Auto gameplay going to be? Since the game automatically uses a unit’s Ultimate the instant it’s up…I’m kind of afraid that it;s going to be very bad
Auto gameplay is one of my my factors in pulling units, so thats why I didnt pull for Dan heng iL as well cause the whole SP consumption gameplay can go very wrong in Auto…
since you need to apply debuffs to get her ult she is fine on that side, she wont usually won’t attack undebuffed enemies
as for bursting on a lone 2hp left enemy, every ult centered character has this problem
just use other characters for autoplay?? like what difference does it make, you’re not the one playing?
Well, just like I farm relics to make my other characters as best as I could, I would also farm relics to make Acheron as best as I could. I would be investing a lot of fuel to invest in a character to be strong enough to clear content both manually and in auto battle specifically MOC and Pure Fiction.
I actually play the characters when the stage is super hard like Gold and Gears conumdrums in the SU, but with MOC and PF I am already able to clear content on auto battle. If you’re telling me to just use other characters for autoplay then that just means Acheron is lacking in one of the criteria that I have for summoning, because I don’t always have time to be manually playing MOC/PF. I would like to autoplay on my phone sometimes while I am doing something else. If I farm so much for her, just for her to not be able to use a convenient function of the game (auto battle), then perhaps I will not end up summoning. No hate to Acheron here, but it is a criteria for me personally, maybe not for others
Auto battle is a nice function of this game so if her Auto battle is not good like Dan Heng IL’s team consuming so much SP and needing to manage your SP manually to be able to use his 3 SP enhanced attack every time then I wouldn’t summon for them and it would just save me jades to summon on a different character. That’s all not trying to spread negativity or anything, I just prefer characters that dont have risky auto battle mishaps
I mean do whatever you want but I don’t see the point of using autoplay for everything. I use it for farming relics and calyxes and basically any DPS is good for that and I don’t care which one does it as I don’t even look at them while they do their job. Where I actually enjoy using characters is MOC and PF so I can’t understand wanting to use autoplay there. I mean there’s no enjoyment in that so why play then? But as I said, it’s your life
I autoplay for my first playthough of Moc and PF. I can usually clear it fully with autoplay so I’m thankful that function is there so i can go back to it whenevr it finsihes a stage.
I go back to the MoC sometimes to manually play after I already clear it just to test out different units together, but I don’t exactly enjoy playing PF so i for sure auto battle that one only.
As I said, I manually play the characters in the SU events (gold and gears conumdrum where the mobs have a lot more HP than normal because that is the most difficult content there is, but if Acheron’s autoplay in PF and MoC is wonky when I need a lightning AOE character, then it might just be a skip angle for me and wait for her rerun to see if perhaps future units can improve her team auto play performance.
The only thing I dislike about Acheron is her best support, Jiaoqiu, possibly being a man. So far the only male character I pulled for was Jingyuan and I was happy with this as I rarely like male characters and don’t like having a lot of them on my account
Why do you rarely like male characters? Is it just because they’re guys?
yes, I inherently like them less because they’re male. And I’m pickier about men so I need to find a male character REALLY good to pull them. I like Jingyuan, Boothill and Blade
idk why this got posted here, I was trying to make a new comment, sorry 😔
I am planning to pull for her, but I don’t know how she could match JingYuan’s strength at e0s1? Do I need to pull for e2s1 for her to beat JingYuan?
The only reason to pull E2 is if you don’t have 2 decent Nihility to go with her or somehow hate the Nihility units and can’t stand playing them.
I don’t know why you need her to beat JY. But she still has better advantage at being able to target the enemy you want to damage the most. Lightning Lord target random enemy is kind of a bad flaw if it doesn’t target elites/boss, and choose to unlesh everything on an almost dead mob
I don’t believe you need E2S1 unless you really want to speedrun 0 cycles on everything
What I want to know is why does she need to beat Jing Yuan? Or anyone for that matter? It should be about what you’re lacking and what you like.
But this comparison has been done numerous times and there’s plenty of proof she’s more than capable of matching, if not beating him. E2 is just for people who desperately need a harmony waifu with her so you don’t need it.
I have no qualms on her kit.
My only gripe now is the fact that her best support will turn out to be a dude.
Hopefully he turns out cool and not a a gay bait.
What does a gay bait even mean?
Probably a disparage against some male characters, except for those who are masculine and not revealing such as Jing Yuan, Gepard and Blade.
I don’t really think people should call a male character like that just because he isn’t masculine enough or too revealing to their taste.
Ah I see. What an awful thing…
Gay bait means exactly what it means, character that caters to fujoshi/fudanshi, funny thing is pretty much all character on HSR could be classified as “gay bait” as they’re all very attractive and charming
Yeah the characters in a gacha are attractive, they’re meant to be
I think “Gay bait” is used in a more rigid sense.
More than “Gay bait” it, I think it’s just meant as something that attracts the opposite sex.
Characters that was like pulled from a Shoujo anime/manga.
OP is probably a male (or a lesbian), and wanted something that attracts boys.
Hello, follow up to my previous comment. Since I am using welt, should I use r5 Loop on Acheron? (48% extra damage to slowed enemies) enemies will always be slowed, and my other options are welts lc s1 and s1 gnsw. I do not have enough jades for Acherons light cone.
Don’t even bother with Loop. The 48% Dmg looks impressive but you trade quite a bit of base stats for it.
Even setting aside Welt LC’s Skill Dmg (12.39% advantage), it still has a slight edge over GNSW S1 in all types of damage (2.68%) due to the increased base Atk. (In my sheet, she had 2 Atk main stats and no Atk subs. This is just a simple direct comparison between abilities.)
As for what Superimposition will GNSW be roughly comparable to Welt, well… to simplify things:
Looking only at Ultimate Dmg, S2.
Looking only at Skill Dmg, then S4.
In terms of overall comparison, well I can’t give a definitive answer but S3 should be a safe bet.
what if welt light cone is S2?
i will leave this link for you ,

see for yourself whether you are satisfied with the dmg
Not work with Tingyun and Huohuo energy feed is her biggest drawback IMO. Probably underpowered and a skip.
Per your logic not being able to gain energy from nihility teammates assigning debuffs to the enemies is the biggest drawback that other DPS have and all of them are underpowered and a skip. Acheron is all you need for a DPS.
Tingyun gives 60 energy, that’s around 50% ult. Huohuo gives another 20%. with those 2 supports other DPS can do an ult very reliably in usually less than 2 rotations while Acheron cannot. it’s a big downside for acheron, not a small one. IMO she’s overrated pretty bait.
That’s wrong tho, 2 nihility at hyper speed (161+) can easily get her 3 ults in 2 rotations, that’s even more than your tingyun/huohuo setup and that’s no even counting a preservation unit using trends of the universal market for even more ults.
yeah acheron has some troubles like needing 2 nihilitys (at least before c2) but energy for her ult? nah that’s no problem
There’s no coming back from that one Fu Xuan haver. Dazz knocked your fallacious logic out of the water. One hit KO. Thx for participating, ciao next time.
Trend of the market send his sincerest regards.
Nah waifu first 🗿
Still fires Ult faster than anyone paired with Huohuo and Tingyun. Maybe Argenti’s half-baked ult is faster. but only maybe.
She doesn’t need a harmony char. You only need 2 nihility chars to accompany her and that’s more than enough. Ofc this changes if you get her E2, then you can run Acheron, 1 nihility, 1 harmony line-up
i am a JY main since day 1 (i also day 1 player) but if you asked me, i dont put her with jy, if youre jy main you already know the big flaw of jy. every jy main must be know this, if you dont know then you re not a jy main. the biggest flaw is his LL that has back loaded damage and very depend with jy if he got cc then ll are done for. while i dont see anything like that with archeron. my jy after getting buff by sparkle he can do 150 – 250 damage at the very most, but her ( i see on YT archeron gameplay with E0 ) she can do 300 – 500 damage and it’s E0 lemme repeat E0
sooo??? how can you guys compare her with jy? it’s tooooo far bro
Her damage is also back loaded, in well-formed teams she needs 2 moves to get Ult and deal damage, in medium and bad ones – 3 moves.
Also, she really dislikes CC, as she gets stacks from her teammates. If someone from her supports gets into CC and is unable to generate stacks, she will have to spend an extra turn to get Ult. And she wants Trend or another debuff, so no HuoHuo/Loucha/Lynx – only Fu and Gallagher.
It’s still not the same. You can actually control her ult. With LL, you can do nothing but wait for it to attack. It gets on my nerves so bad. It often doesn’t come when it needs to and then when I don’t want it, it’s there. Jingyuan’s biggest issue is LL not hitting as soon at there’s 10 stacks
i can tell you really hate archeron bcz the way you explain to me, it’s not work like that. she is not like jy where ultimately depends on his LL, jy w/o his LL he just a 4 star character. dont get me wrong i am a jy main, i defintely not going to badmouth jy but you need to open your eyes, archeron much much better than jy
god damm you have JY since day 1? tell how did you get him outside of the seele banner that was up on day 1
Bro left his reading comprehension on the toilet.
Maybe the first instance of “day 1” in his words means “day 1 of Jing Yuan’s banner”.
@Dazz Aephiex people here was absolutely idiot dont you think? i mean day 1 he dont even know what is that mean, and he thought it was seele. OMG why people are so fucking idiot
i fucking skip seele bcz i dont like her bitch design and i pull for jy soon he was released.
and jingyuan has been saving me from numerous of moc and pure fiction contents
so yeah. i am a legit of jingyuan user since day 1
