In most role-playing games, most players always want to own unique, strong characters with high damage and versatility in many situations. So every time the publisher releases updated versions, most people extremely hope that it will be power adjustments, but in a positive direction for their characters. However, sometimes there are exceptions, the most prominent of which is the case of Honkai: Star Rail gamers below.
Although it is only considered a “late-born” game, following the success of Honkai Impact as well as Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail is reaping countless successes in terms of sales and profits for miHoYo. . Many gamers themselves also expressed their love and excitement for the remarkable changes of this blockbuster. But recently, miHoYo suddenly had to receive a large wave of criticism, after excessively upgrading the power of Huohuo – a character who lacks much acting space in the game.
Specifically, since its launch, Huohuo has not attracted too much attention from gamers because of its inherent weaknesses. This makes many people think of Zhongli – the rock god who was introduced extremely grandly in Genshin Impact but then had a worse debut, with banner revenue almost at the bottom of the rankings. miHoYo then made adjustments and turned Zhongli into an almost irreplaceable support, adaptable to every squad. A similar story is happening with Huohuo, when after recent changes in the test server, Huohuo is also becoming a “national support” with top healing and buffing abilities in the game.
This will be quite happy news for many Honkai: Star Rail players. But currently, many people are expressing dissatisfaction with these changes. The reason is also very simple because the popularity of Huohuo will make Bailu – another very popular support – obsolete. Although it has better healing ability, in terms of versatility, Bailu definitely cannot compare. Therefore, even though Houhou’s changes are still only on the test server, many people have spoken out against miHoYo’s strong buffs for this character.
