Honkai Star Rail as a live service game lives in the moment with constant updates. By nature of the waifu collector gacha genre. But, as expected, it is in the best interest profit wise to create more FOMO and minimize skipping as much as possible. One of the ways to do this is what we know as powercreep.
The underlying design that allows longer viability is called "Future Proofing", and while no unit is immune against the sands of time in star rail, as completely future proof characters, there are those that show resilience more than others. Many people naturally assume that higher damage characters will age better later on and thus is future proof and will pull on it, the truth is that there is a more common factor that can dictate whether or not a unit can catch up in the future, their design space.
This video will be covering the most common ways to "future proof" as exampled by the three limited lightning crit damage dealers.
