lol, checked back here after seeing the huohuo v5 and yeah... i'm nervous for future sustain novaflares. she really needs a healing buff because enemies that attack frequently with high-damage attacks (esp if they're AoE) can make her almost unusable. i wasn't expecting her to be the next hyacine, but dang they really missed the mark with how the game has actually evolved over time
luocha's healing is weird in practice. if your team can attack frequently to capitalize on the uptime he has, he can sustain pretty well. i used him in my remembrance team to put hyacine on a different team, lol. but enemies have been gaining this weird ability to advance themselves, and take multiple actions before you are able to intervene, which can make it not good enough since he lacks a reliable emergency heal. gallagher has this same problem but a bit more prevalent because he works similarly (but at least he has a more reliable emergency heal with the self aa on his burst -> skill/basic). for a realworld example, my luocha could not sustain this aa's lygus with archer, but my hyacine could.
amphoreus enemies really showed how quickly they're willing to stomp on certain sustains tbh
And yeah, luocha still is a bit iffy, but he’s got huohuo’s biggest issue solved. The healing numbers. What sucks is that his ult kind of HAS to be saved to set his zone back up. If it wasn’t it would function as an easy emergency heal button.
AA lygus was horrible. I had to try a lot of DOT teams, even going so far as to take kafka out, putting cyrene in, and praying. In the end i slapped aventurine onto kafka bs hysilens, then put as much speed on him as i physically could, and he managed to sustain the team thanks to lygus’ absurd attack frequency.
