I'm finding myself ever increasingly frustrated with the power creep. I love DNA. I love the characters, I love the story, I love that we can get the characters free without worry at any time, but the power creep is just getting frustrating and this newest event really highlights that for me. My Flora is fully built. All +10 wedges, Smelt-10 Calamity Rifle, Intron 6, my supports are fully built as well, and I cannot complete the lvl 160 bosses in time. Fina suffers even worse when I try to main her for it as she basically has no chance of completing it in time. I know Margie and Tabethe mains have had this same problem now since launch, but it's really starting to hit me now. Felix quit the game, and he was a Margie player, and I know this was a huge contributing factor for him. Up until fairly recently Fina could complete content at least on a passing level, but now we're reaching that point were Fina just can't, and many characters can't, even Flora, one of the newer characters and was at one point #1 on damage output no longer can either. If Flora can do it, she struggles. It's not a skill issue, it's a balancing issue and power creep issue and it's only getting worse and worse.

It's frustrating when my friends who love underpowered characters who have been playing with me since day 1 over a year ago now are quitting because they cannot complete the newest content with their favorite characters, and now even I cannot complete the newest content with my favorite character either.

So while Berenica may have just gotten a boost to put her back in the meta for now, that boost will become completely irrelevant and unable to complete the upcoming content in 4 months when the dps average of the newer characters, and newer content, get pushed further again. Even if Margie, Tabethe, and Fina get dps boosts, those will be invalidated within only a few short months when the power creeps up again. That's not fun. It's the exact opposite of fun.

Power creep is the exact opposite of character balancing. Character balancing means every character is viable and does around the same damage output with their skill sets. That's not what we are getting now, what we are getting now is X character damage gets boosted to 10million damage per second to match the newest release, and in the next update the newest character will do 20 million damage per second and everyone else gets pushed further back.
