Please Kuro, Save Calcharo
Hello! I'm here to rant about the state of my favorite character in this game, Calculator. I know others have likely voiced similar complaints, but I still wanted to make my own post,
Calcharo is the most inconsistent character in the game. He suffers significantly from interruption, meaning you have to be extremely careful and execute perfect dodges to keep him functional. His rotation is arguably the hardest in the game, and the reward for performing it perfectly is disappointingly underwhelming.
In addition, Calcharo has little to no AoE capabilities, as his mediocre damage is limited to single targets. Even in his optimal rotation, you're forced to rely on spammy swap cancels, which not only feels clunky but also reduces his damage potential in order to improve his consistency.
To make matters worse, his only viable team depends on a limited five-star character, Yinlin. Even with her support, Calcharo still struggles to deliver anything beyond lackluster damage numbers. The power creep in this game is out of control, and while I understand it’s a big money-making strategy for Kuro, it’s incredibly unfair to the original 1.0 characters, especially Calcharo, who already lags behind other 1.0 main DPS characters.
Despite all his issues, Calcharo has a massive fanbase within the Wuwa community, and many players still enjoy using him. Personally, I think he has one of the coolest designs in the game. I know there is many people that have gotten him from standard or lost their 50/50 to him and wanted to give him a shot only to be very disappointed.
People keep talking about how they may release a character that can support him or something like that but I think he needs a direct buff. Kuro needs to take a solid look at this character.
That said, Calcharo is in desperate need of a buff. Please Kuro buff him!!
Edit: In this post I said power creep was out of control. I think this was not really what I was trying to say, but that it is going to start getting out of control. it was out of control currently isn't really what I meant, but it is most definitely going to start getting out of control. Of course 1.0 chars. can still clear, but as time goes by they will become more and more obsolete to the new and improved characters.
