Why High Stats Aren't Better | The Jingliu Theorem (Honkai Star Rail)

In any RPG, stats are everything. Base Power of abilities can be made incredibly weak by the sheer virtue of having low stats. In a vaccuum, having low stats means you are worse than a character that has a lot. But this is ignoring the multiple layers of complexity of why higher stats exist in the first place, to balance abilities. With the nature of powercreep, it brings another dimension of character balancing that a character that is good now due to stats, will be worse in the upcoming future due to said stats and vice versa of how stats can be the crux of a character's resurgence.

This is a video covering a repeated set of patterns ingrained in the laws of mathematics and game balancing overtime. In Star Rail, nobody is more notorious at this than Jingliu.

Join me as we take a journey through the characters that prove why high stats can be a blessing or a curse.
