Huohuo vs Argenti: Who Should You Pull For?

Whether you should pull for Huohuo or Argenti depends on your current team composition and playstyle. 

Huohuo

Huohuo is a Wind-Abundance character who specializes in healing numerous allies on the team, increasing their attack and energy with her ultimate, allowing allies to restore health further with her skill kit and abilities, and so on. She's a great character to have if you're looking for a strong healer who can also provide a lot of support to your team.

Pros:

  • Great healer and cleanse ability

  • Can provide a lot of support to your team through buffs

  • Very versatile for teambuilding

Cons:

  • Can have skill point management issues

  • Can be difficult to use effectively

Argenti

Argenti is a physical DPS character who specializes in dealing high damage and debuffs to enemies. She's a great character to have if you're looking for a strong DPS character who can also help your team take down enemies quickly.

Pros:

  • High damage output

  • Can debuff enemies

  • Very strong DPS character

Cons:

  • Can be difficult to use effectively

  • Not as versatile as some of the other DPS characters in the game like Jingliu and Seele

Ultimately, the decision of whether to pull for Huohuo or Argenti is up to you. If you're looking for a strong healer, Huohuo is a great choice. If you're looking for a strong DPS character, Argenti is a great choice. If you do not have Gepard, Bailu, Fu Xuan, or Luocha, we recommend checking out Huohuo’s post-release impressions from content creators. Having powerful sustain units is valuable and with no Abundance character announced for the next few patches, she might be the better option next patch.
