Genshin Impact Fontaine Characters, Should You Pull? Honest Review RoundupThis is an in-depth analysis of the current performance and future value of Genshin Impact's Fontaine characters. While many argue that Fontaine characters have generally declined in performance since Neuvillette's release, we'll highlight some notable exceptions.
1. 🎮 Fontaine Characters: Analyzing Overall Performance Decline and Pull Value
· Unlike the early days of Genshin Impact, recent characters tend to show unbalanced designs. In particular, the prevailing opinion is that the overall performance of Fontaine characters has declined since Neuvillette's release.
· In the current meta, not only Mondstadt, Inazuma, and Sumeru characters but also Fontaine characters have significantly decreased in pull value. With Furina being the current benchmark, there's no room for Fontaine characters, according to this analysis.
· Unless it's a personal preference, investing limited pulls in Fontaine characters might not be a good choice. It's advised to skip characters like Charlotte or Freminet.
· However, not all Fontaine characters are useless. Wriothesley and Arlecchino can be considered exceptions. These two characters have survived as key figures in both the early and later parts of the Fontaine chapter.
· It remains to be seen how many characters with Neuvillette's level of convenience will be released in the future, which could depend on the direction of character releases after Snezhnaya and Natlan.

2. 🌟 Wriothesley: A Character Who Shocked with Insane Convenience
· Wriothesley was considered a character with insane convenience even upon release. While his damage might lag slightly, his convenience is rated as top-tier in Genshin Impact.
· The fact that such a character emerged from Fontaine was a huge shock at the time, and anticipation is high for what characters will be released in Snezhnaya and Natlan.

3. 🔥 Arlecchino: Actively Performing with Broad Utility and Charm
· After Arlecchino's release, there were concerns as her World Transformation changed to Pyro, but she continues to perform well based on her broad utility in Vaporize, Overload, and Melt reactions.
· She is capable of performing well in the Spiral Abyss, and with her design, narrative charm, and her status as one of the remaining Fatui Harbingers, she is expected to remain a key figure in the main story until Snezhnaya.
· Some even consider her the current top-ranked character, and she is loved by many players.

4. 💧 Charlotte: A Burning Sub-DPS Whose Position Shrank After Kinchie's Arrival
· Charlotte is a pure sub-DPS character released in the final version of Fontaine, designed to utilize Burning reactions.
· Initially, she was used in any team composition that could trigger Burning. However, after Kinchie's arrival and subsequent team synergy, her position has shrunk, similar to how the Neuvillette DPS characters were overshadowed by Furina.
· While Lynette could at least carry floor bosses, Kinchie's Burning trigger is merely a formality, and like a C6 character, she lacks standout features and hasn't garnered much attention.
· Despite being released with a standard meta build, she failed to shine and her evaluation as a pure DPS is difficult, leading to her being shelved, according to the analysis.
· Her future utility is likely to remain limited, and the possibility of Burning reactions making a comeback is slim.
· It's a shame she hasn't properly appeared in the main story, only making brief appearances in events. It's speculated that there were internal circumstances during her release.

5. ⚡ Clorinde: A Cool Beauty with a Great Concept but Disappointing Performance
· Clorinde, who appeared early in Fontaine but was officially released later, had a cool concept and decent combat design, yet it was hard to shake the feeling of mediocrity.
· The short attack duration is baffling, and her competitiveness is completely gone, whether used for Electro-Charged or Overload reactions.
· This outcome was predictable given the disappointing feeling upon her release. There's also criticism that the serious personality common among cool beauty characters in Genshin Impact doesn't fit the game.
· While it was good to have related elements created around the Theater Mechanicus, there's a desire for official emphasis on her charm rather than fan-made content.

6. 💧 Sigewinne: Unique Abilities, but Low Pull Value
· From her release, most agreed Sigewinne was an endearing character, but her practical utility is evaluated as being limited to Hydro application and neutralizing small enemies.
· She has no use in normal gameplay. Her only significant contribution was in the "Last Dance" domain, where she was effectively used in strategies utilizing small enemy neutralization and fall damage mechanics.
· If a character is only useful once every few years, it's best not to pull for them. It's a waste of a limited rerun opportunity, according to this opinion.

7. 💎 Navia: An Appealing Character, but Difficult to Recommend in the Crystallize Meta
· Navia is like the last hurrah of Crystallize. She's beautiful, has a great personality, and a well-developed story, but she hasn't shown significant advantages against other characters besides Neuvillette.
· Her combat design could provide some fun, but with Chiori's late release, it felt like the design was ruined, resulting in her having the lowest ownership rate.
· This past design choice seems to be why they are now designing characters to ensure no one is left behind.
· Despite being a character who shone brightly, in the harsh reality of gacha games, with Crystallize dominating the meta, investing in Navia is difficult to recommend.
· If you already own her, she's decent to use alongside other characters, but she's not recommended for new players.

8. 🏹 Lyney: The Limitations of the Bow Concept Left a Disappointing Character
· Lyney was released as the face of Fontaine's limited characters. Contrary to expectations at the time, he turned out to be a character who simply shoots a bow.
· However, this clearly showed the limitations of bow characters, with Lyney being the last. Even with normal attacks or official mechanics, he's considered weak.
· The limitations of the bow concept are clear, such as him riding a giant robot and shooting automatically. It's nonsensical to shoot a bow with Snezhnaya or Natlan's technology, so they'll have to resort to shocking combat methods like giant robots.
· Lyney wasn't weak at the time, but the inconvenience wasn't worth enduring, and there's no longer a reason to use him.
