Why NO ONE Plays: Kaveh | Genshin Impact

why no one plays CA no one has them thanks so much for watching and I look forward to seeing you again soon take care okay and I'll serious this with gin impact waser ever expanding to include upwards of 80 units a growing challenge the developers face is how to make all of them accessible when there are so few Banner slots available on a given basis unlike the vast majority of gachas where new characters are permanently implemented through the standard Banner for some reason hoil has elected to keep the majority of the game's five star characters as limited editions preventing you from obtaining them outside of their event banners on one hand it prevents the unit pull from becoming too bloated and maintains the significance of every character but on the other hand as stated earlier as more and more come out that's another unit you have to squeeze into genin's already oversaturated list of rerun candidates looking at Pon Mo's character release timeline you can already see units going on over a dozen Banner Cycles without a rerun making it effectively impossible for you to acquire those characters even if you want them you can also learn more about that in my video on the problem with gin's banners if you're interested while not as irrelevant as a five-star roster four-star units are also facing the similar situation with each passing Banner cycle three four stars get to accompany the two feature five stars giving you the opportunity to acquire Target four-star units something to note is that while five stars almost never join their permanent pool all four stars in fact do right now as we speak you have a chance of pulling for any of the four stars in the game however it's ill advised to do so given the low probability of obtaining the specific one you want as such the player base relies equally as much on four stars being featured on event banners as they do five stars bringing us to the topic of this video cave is presently the four-star unit who has gone the longest without a rerun Banner at 19 Cycles While others have come close Hazel Razer and mik to name a few and Goro once having gone 21 Cycles without a rerun the difference between them and Cave is that they had reruns before whereas this fashionable gentleman has never reappeared since the day he came out in addition to not having been given a Repeat Performance cave is one of if not the least used dentro character in the history of the game it's been a while since I made an episode on a fourstar character but this guy is definitely deserving of one today we'll be discussing why no one plays cave in ginin impact very frequently whenever I make a y no one plays episode I get a cluster of comments that go along the lines of no one has them which technically is applicable for the majority of f stars for example anyone who joined the game from version 3.2 onwards is unable to acquire all beta seeing as he's gone 29 Cycles without a rerun but even if a fourstar doesn't get featured on event banners the fact that they are available all year round means eventually sooner or later you should be able to acquire at least one but as I brought up the longer the game goes on the more improbable this becomes as a chance of you randomly pulling a specific fourstar is infinitesimal to say the least Cav's absence from kin's Banner system definitely contributes to his popularity or lack thereof more so than others ordinarily I make why no one plays episodes under the assumption that people have them but choose not to play them but this is a unique situation that deserves a bigger Spotlight if you weren't playing the game during version 3.6 which understandably many people weren't in light of the latter patches of a version being notoriously the void of content you were never granted a second opportunity to go after him people have come up with different conspiracy theories on why he's gone this long without a reappearance the dominant narrative on the matter has to do with the major gamebreaking exploits that took place of the character in question for the uninitiated Cav's Elemental skill artistic Ingenuity gives him a unique interaction with Bloom course where he can instantly rupture them bypassing the need for an electro or pyro unit to channel hyper blo or virgin through a series of injected plugins or apks I forget the exact method of Performing the exploit you can modify copy skill to where instead of despawning assets with IDs corresponding to bloom course you would instead delete all interactable entities within a skills detection radius giving players the power to literally remove key gameplay elements from the world Clips were showing players removing chest NPCs statues of the seven even taken into Co-op malicious individuals were able to perform this on other players worlds permanently removing things from the game not even restarting or performing a file Integrity check would resolve it those things were gone forever depending on what was taken from the game the victim would essentially be soft locked unable to progress through the main story or even collect rewards from domains if they deleted the Ur Soul tree at the end of it suffice to say this was a very very critical problem causing players to be paranoid of co-oping with strangers expectedly this was a very controversial issue that has sort of led to becoming a meme where cop's powers of deletion were so strong he accidentally deleted himself from the game explaining why he's never gotten a reun in all likelihood I don't think the infamous cave exploit is the reason he hasn't had a rerun as now that everything's been fixed and addressed he's just like any other unit so let's actually get to the part where I talk about his gameplay issues the dentro element has been a contender for the strongest element in the game since the day came out while the vast majority of players myself included agree that Hydro is Far and Away number one a big part of that was because of how prevalent dentro and its reactions have been throughout version 3 and still in version 4 further lending Credence to the element's prominence are the characters while dentro has the lowest number of playable units at only nine so far virtually all of its cast members are useful in some way shape or form even its quote unquote weakest units like d MC and colay has substantially higher deployment value than the black sheeps of other elements from my point of view I consider there to be no no bad dentro character owing to how powerful its reactions are in offering a very high damage floor however if I had to choose which one carries the least Equity it's most likely cave to make it perfectly clear I'm not saying he's bad I literally just got done saying that even D's worst characters are far better than the other elements worst but cave suffers some combination of issues that make an otherwise usable character frankly irrelevant smaller number as roster may be D's topside dominance is on par with pyros prevailing wisdom understands who talo Bennett and shling strangle hold over pyros lineup causing a massive divide between the quote unquote good and bad characters it wasn't until just recently in version 4 when we received three units that pyro finally had more strong contenders dendo is facing a similar predicament right now not too long into version three we received three extremely powerful dendo units all hate them a main damage dealer and currently one of the top DPS units in the game nahita a sub DPS and arguably the most valuable character in the game and baiju one of the best healers in the game these three units are so efficient so party agnostic and so easy to use that they effectively monopolize every every single dendro party in the game with no exceptions whether bloom or quick in quick sof rotation or onfield carry short burst rotations or long protracted fights alhan bichu and Nita could do them all either by themselves or together with these three units you practically have zero reason to pull for any other dento character really until the end of time especially Nita since it's unlikely for hoyo to power creep their archons anytime soon if a character were to come out who is blatantly stronger than nahita finina Shogun jungi or even venti in their respective Fields it will fundamentally alter ginan impact at it core how this adversely affects cave is that for all intents and purposes and the few cave means out there probably also agree his market value is almost non-existent cesy of his competition namely his roommate both alham and Cave are main damage doers both of them Place great emphasis on dend reactions to supplement their damage one just does it better than the other in every conceivable way aside from a skill detonating Bloom course immediately Cave's ultimate can also do the same thing on cast while subsequently granting a dental infusion to his attacks and a buff to his party that increases Bloom core damage though he loses both if he switches out visually the green aura they gave to his Claymore and the sword TRS are absolutely gorgeous cave is just a visually satisfying character overall but from a pragmatic standpoint his play style directly clashes with all ha them despite the two having different weapon techs because of the infusion effect on his burst and being a claymore user Cav is expected to stay on field for long stretches of time so you can get as much out of the dental auras and Bloom core enhancements as you can however all ha them also has the same property of dentro attacks only Hof time is more consistent due to not being tied to a burst furthermore he can work in either bloom or spread teams whereas cave as a result of being a claymore user therefore having Sol attacks and his direct Synergy with the reaction can only work in bloom teams making him a more Niche unit it might seem unfair for a four-star unit to be directly compared to a five-star as a lower performance theoretically should be offset by their greater accessibility but that's all the more reason why the whole no one plays them because no one has them claw applies to the cop more than anyone else he's just as difficult to acquire as a five-star character if not more taking into account how the only way you can obtain him right now is too cheap that one in a million chance of stumbling upon him off Banner it's straight up cheaper to get a C6 all ha them right now than it is to get a C6 kave speaking of which I'm not sure when you'll see this video but I'll hate them's been enjoying a second rerun at the moment so uh yeah tough sh while cop is the only character so far who can rupture D course on demand offensively channeling dento course has never been a point of weakness to the element to begin with and there's an aspect of Bloom course that works against Cave's maximum efficiency Blom cores have a5c internal cool down on them per source of activation meaning if say you have two Bloom cores that respond by the same character and you DET need both of them with cave skill only one core will damage the target so you can't stack 50 Bloom cores from one person and blow them up all at the same time you need a bloom core from different sources this is the main reason why hyper Bloom is such a strong reaction because you're spacing out the bloom cores ever so slightly whereas cave scill and burst explode all of them simultaneously even though that's not efficient moreover hyper Bloom and buron both increase the strength of dentro cores so it's better to apply Electro and Pyro to those cores to deal damage instead of using cave skill to rupture them this is supposed to be made up for by copies and a property of increasing Bloom core damage but there are other characters with the ability to increase Bloom core damage and they vastly exceed cace numbers in that respect Vu has bonus damage on Elemental reactions on top of all of his other forms of utility nuu might be a hydro character but she's more of a hybrid as she's strictly tied to bloom teams her bful cores not only deal more damage but they explode in a larger radius and faster too granted it's not immediate detonation but she makes up for that by not needing to be on field anyone on her team can achieve meanwhile cave status as a main DPS obligates him to be the active character additionally between the two elements Hydro is a better element for driving Bloom course not dentro generally you want dentro to be theora quote unquote while Hydro is a triggering element kind of like how in vaporize teams you want as many Hydro units as possible and only one pyro that's also why nahita is the most overpowered 5y- old to ever exist her skill all schemes to know is a dental Aura to End All Dental oras here's the issue if you want to run double dentro like nahita and Cave cave is forced to have two Hydro units because you need to have more people who can proc Dental course which means you can't run Nita with coffee since if you do what you have is two Hydro to dental pushing you into a Neu team In fairness you can stack both nuu and Cab's Dental cor enhancements on top of one another but securing a spot on n's team is almost impossible for him she's very popular among tal characters CA has to fight an uphill battle on two sides for onfield once again all ha them can go into any team CA can and outperform him without question maybe cave does better in buron teams but no one plays buron right now let's be real back to NE Bloom Cav increases the damage of Bloom course but his own damage is subpar basically undercutting the positives of including him especially since that's all he brings to the table while everyone else brings something more like healing shielding or just more damage while haon doesn't have any Buffs to bloom course but he makes up for it through respectably High personal damage giving him stronger base damage on Bloom course plus alham can drive dendel all the live long day with his near permanent uptime all of these factors result in cave ironically being the worst denter unit for Neu Bloom despite everything in his kid suggesting that he wants to to be in bloom teams for off field I know the Cav is on field just bear with me there's nahita BYU and ya Yao nahita builds more Elemental Mastery than anyone knows what to do it she is permanent uptime and can work either on field or off field in Neo teams all while dealing massive damage through her skill and if you have C2 on her your Bloom cors have a chance of dealing crit damage by ya Yao can restore your team's self-inflicted damage which to his credit kave can do as well thanks to his A1 passive but the bottom line is the competition is heavily stacked even within Cave's Niche because of how accessible and easy dendro is to use the element best characters are all touted for being seamless and digestible requiring minimal field time and are granting easy swaps between teammates whenever needed with cave losing his empowered state if he switches out messing up on a rotation with him can lead to a huge loss in DPS and even if everything does go right he's sadly not even your second or third or even fourth best choice in his own Niche now you don't have to take him into neoo you can always just take advantage of his Dental infusion to drive other teams but like I said dento is so omnipresent and accessible that anywhere he goes he has to fight everyone else for a spot if if he wants to go into hyper Bloom which you shouldn't nahita alhan bichu yao yao literally every Dental character excepting n will bully him out of it if he goes into burin even though burin still underexplored as a niche again nahita yaoya Vu kirada Kay DMC the entire roster will be there too it's punishment enough that he's the main DPS in a field predominantly occupied by all fielders but they also decided to make him a claymore user the slowest basic attack speed and therefore attack based application in the game and then they made him a fourstar which as you know fourstar on fielders have a hard time competing against Superior that line of festar on fielders and then they gave him a play style that hinges on a reaction directly favoring off fielders to top it all off they released him at the end of version 3 well after everyone already got their hands on nahita alhan baichu yaoya or all of the above speaking of bichu Cafe was released on the same Banner as him if he came out in version 3.0 alongside tady K and TMC that would have been his only chance to be played but releasing cave after all ha them pretty much set him up for failure right from the get-go Teno is a support of element by Nature while it's two reactions quicking and Bloom deal overwhelming amounts of damage the means of attaining it are more suited for supports and sub dpsers hence why most dental characters are part of one or the other ala manages to excel by having a ton of quality of life effects like hybrid scaling constant abusion good application and very high numbers cave was not granted the same concessions it also doesn't help that dentro is a very insular element only reacting with Electro hydro and for the two players out there who use burning pyro the other elements can interface with everyone else for different niches kav has to compete directly against the entire ental roster now and forever into the future I don't want to say he's a fish out of water because his kid makes sense on paper but I get the same vibe from him that I get from the likes of Toma and Candace where if they were a different element or imagined a bit differently they'd actually find more use as a dance though he's a really unfortunate character with a lot of good in theory bad and practice issues this might be the harshest V know and place video I made in a while but it's not explicitly his fault I'd say kav is a victim of poor game design sense in a similar fashion to DIA where their kids in theory would have been really good but it feels like were implemented by interns or something anyways
