For the sake of some content in this community I just wanted to ask what your favourite characters are in Genshin Impact and why.
Either playable characters or NPCs.
I will start:
My favourite character is Nilou because of her flowy attacks with her elemental skill and her overall design. I also really like Mona because of her hat (I'm a big fan of giant witch hats)
Kazuha. He was my second 5 star ever (first was Qiqi). I pulled him on release not knowing that there was a lot of negative impressions on him. I thought the grouping, animations, and stuff were so cool.
I don't think it was just a reddit thing. I remember he was constantly called a Sucrose sidegrade outside of reddit, too, and that he isn't worth it because Inazuma was around the corner. If you want to believe the China iOS sales posts, he also didn't enter the meta until later when people realized how great he was. It's considerably better nowadays.
I don't really know actually. I wasn't following Genshin Impact on social media at the time. I only found out on discussions in r/genshinimpactleaks long after that people were using Kazuha as an example of "a perceived bad unit but ended up really good" similar to the Kokomi situation.
