Not hardly.

Gallagher is worse than Aventurine, Fu Xuan and Huohuo and only really slots into Break and Debuff teams. Xueyi is on par with Sampo and Luka in terms of usefulness for a 4* and worse than essentially all 5* carries.

Both are just better than your avg 4*, which is appropriate considering that the steady 5%ish power creep with each new comparable release.

The gamebreaker pages on this site are always full of stupid shit, if that's what you're getting at

I wouldn't call Gallagher a Game-Breaker for a couple of reasons: one, his besotted effect requires his ultimate (or a technique point) and only works when an ally hits an enemy to heal themselves; two, you need to get to at least E2 so he can get his debuff cleanse and E4 to make his other healing more consistent.

He's like a welfare Luocha but with Break Effect instead of Attack and without the auto-heal. You basically need the Harmony Trailblazer to get the most out of him.

Instead of focusing on relatives that divide us, we should find the absolutes that tie us.

Xueyi is a Game-Breaker in Swarm Disaster, 100%. The only character that is better than her is Aventurine, but 1/he's 5* and 2/he's broken in all Simulated Universe content. And unlike, say, DHIL, she doesn't require a designated support to function, you can slot her in any team and she'll shred bugs all day.

Outside of that, she can be a Game Breaker as long as she faces Quantum-weak enemies. If she doesn't, then she loses half her kit since she will barely trigger any FUA.

[up][up]

Which in turn means she’s dependent on Silver Wolf to get over that hurdle, and in turn means her strongest teams are mono Quantum for general consistency.

Now, I’m not sure how she fares with Robin or Harmony Trailblazer though I imagine this still restricts her to enemies with quantum weakness to get the most out of her.

Also about Gallagher, I wonder if whoever wrote his entry got influenced by Firefly's leaks, considering she's designed to be a Break Team DPS like Boothill, thus making Gallagher the best sustain for her team due to being BE-based and being fire element like her.

They're adding the ability to skip ahead to events for new players if they're locked behind certain maps/story missions in 2.3. Doesn't apply to Conventional Memoir versions of the events.

Yeah got my numbers wrong, its 2.5.

Also Mozu is 2.5's 4*, Lightning Hunt. Sunday is possibly in 2.7 as an imaginary something but its extra questionable.

Honestly, people rant about the yearly return to the Chinese-themed planet with the underwhelming storyline and worldbuilding, but it means that every year we will get a couple of patches with less interesting characters to replenish our Jade stocks. It's not that bad a deal honestly.

It was much harder to pass on Penacony's characters than it will be on the new Luofu ones.

Not to mention that Screwllum is still on the cards. Though come to think of it, that last gadget that he had in the 2.3 trailer does remind of the bomb kit that was supposedly his.

A shame, but it makes sense. He has potential to be involved with whatever is going on Emperor Rupert's ruins so maybe they are waiting for that.

How exactly problematic is it (and Low-Tier Letdown) in TVT in general, not just HSR specifically?

Any game that had a TVT page when it came out tends have some really dubious claims regarding how good things are. People add things based on their personal experiences rather than community consensus and we've decided that we're not supposed to remove entries from these pages for being wrong, so you end up up with giant lists that claim that most things in the game are overpowered

Sunday is possibly in 2.7 as an imaginary something but its extra questionable.

I though Sunday was supposed to be ice?

everyone seems to agree that Screwllum is not slotted for 2.x.

Why?

Game-Breaker is an entirely subjective entry by design, so...it makes sense for it to be full of YMMV.

If you let Faker write the LOL character entries, he could arguably say that 70% of the roster is overpowered, if not more, because he would absolutely demolish a vast majority of players using those champions.

If you want an "accurate" ranking, you have Prydwen's tier lists, and everybody and their mother spends an ungodly amount of time debating if they are worth anything despite being about ranking how much each character breaks the game.

Why quote but remove the spoiler tags for unreleased content?

And Imaginary is for people who are in their own little world essentially for a positive spin or negative, a dreamer essentially, which is what 'Order' Sunday is... literally. And Screwllum's original data slot in the files was replaced with Ratio and a new entry simply has not been made. We are reaching the point where up to 2.8 is starting to get hinted at in the files and nothing. They basically shelved him for future content despite advertising him as being part of Penecony... but he has gotten so many appearances he will be coming eventually.
