SIGN THE PETITION: Preserve Stellar Wriothesley’s C1 Value and Restore Team-Building Freedom
TL;DR
Stellar Wriothesley’s redesign increased his damage potential, but it also made his Enhanced Charged Attack disappear whenever he is healed above 60% HP. This significantly reduces healer compatibility and undermines much of the practical value of C1 for players who invested in it.
We are not asking HoYoverse to revert Stellar Wriothesley or reduce his damage. We simply ask them to preserve his new playstyle while restoring team-building flexibility and ensuring C1 remains a meaningful investment.

Preserve Stellar Wriothesley’s C1 Value and Restore Team-Building Freedom

Why This Matters
Many of us were excited to see Stellar Wriothesley receive a redesigned kit. The increased damage potential, removal of the Enhanced Charged Attack cooldown, and more aggressive HP-based gameplay create a fresh and engaging playstyle.
However, one change unnecessarily limits team diversity and diminishes the value of an existing investment.

Previously, once Wriothesley met the condition for his Enhanced Charged Attack, it remained available even if he was healed above 60% HP. His C1 also provided a reliable way to access Enhanced Charged Attacks regardless of HP, making him flexible with a wide variety of healers and team compositions.
With Stellar Wriothesley, the Enhanced Charged Attack now exists only while he remains below 60% HP. If healing pushes him above that threshold, the Enhanced Charged Attack immediately disappears.
While this was clearly an intentional redesign, it creates much stronger anti-synergy with healers and effectively removes much of the practical value that players originally obtained from C1.

This Isn’t About Reverting Stellar Wriothesley
We’re not asking HoYoverse to remove the new mechanics.
We appreciate:
• The higher damage ceiling.
• The removal of the Enhanced Charged Attack cooldown.
• The faster gameplay loop.
• The unique risk versus reward identity.
We simply believe these improvements shouldn’t come at the expense of player freedom or previously purchased constellations.

Our Request
We respectfully ask HoYoverse to consider one of the following adjustments:
Allow the Enhanced Charged Attack to remain “stored” once activated, even if Wriothesley is healed above 60% HP.
Restore C1’s ability to reliably access the Enhanced Charged Attack regardless of HP.
Introduce another mechanic that preserves healer compatibility while keeping Stellar Wriothesley’s new gameplay identity intact.

Why This Benefits Everyone
These changes would:
Preserve the identity of Stellar Wriothesley.
Maintain his current DPS potential.
Restore compatibility with more healers.
Increase team-building freedom.
Better respect players who previously invested in C1.
Improve overall quality of life without power creeping the character.

Our Goal
We love Genshin Impact and appreciate the work that goes into evolving older characters. This request isn’t about making Stellar Wriothesley stronger. It’s about making him more flexible while preserving the value of existing player investments.
If you believe Stellar Wriothesley should retain his exciting redesign without sacrificing healer synergy and C1 value, please sign this petition and help us respectfully bring this feedback to HoYoverse.

(Sigh … here goes)

OK so I’ve never felt so guilty about making a post as I do this one. Namely, regarding Ayato, Itto, and Hu Tao… Ayaka, Ganyu, Yoimiya, Childe, and any cons for them, I am completely indifferent about … and let me explain.

Ayato: love the character conceptually, but at this point I genuinely don’t know how to slot him into any team comp. He just doesn’t fit anywhere in my roster and I never find myself reaching for him.

Hu Tao and Itto… okay, this is where it gets complicated, because I truly adore them both as characters. Their VAs are so good, so distinctive and perfect for who they are. The guilt is real. But despite all of that love, I just don’t use them. At all. They sit there while I build other teams around them.

It’s less regret about who they are and more regret about the resources. If there was any system to refund or exchange those pulls and reallocate everything I invested, I’d do it in a heartbeat.

(Standard 5-stars on my list feel like their own separate conversation. At least those don’t hurt as much since you weren’t chasing a specific banner.)

So who are yours? Any limited 5-stars you’d exchange if you could, and what would you put those primos and resources toward instead?

I recently rescued a male tabby-calico (yes, they exist — about 1 in 3,000!) who I’m about to ‘foster fail’ and I’m struggling to find the perfect name for this little guy.
His personality in a nutshell:
• 🎉 Super playful and energetic
• 📢 VERY vocal — he screeches when he’s hungry, wants attention, or is ready to play. The boy has no inside voice.
I’ve been leaning toward names that match his dramatic flair:
• Screech (from He-Man, not Saved By The Bell)
• Shriek (feels fitting)
• DB — short for Drew Barrymore, after her iconic scream in Scream 😂

Open to anything though! Spooky, dramatic, funny, movie/TV references — bring it all. What would you name this loud, rare little gremlin?
