As long as you have a reasonable expectation and you like the character its definitely alright, you have to be the judge of that. He is a fun character to play with. Just make sure your decision does not come from seeing those irresponsible youtuber vids that showcases the character with constellations and fantastic gears.
One example of irresponsible youtuber would be this (listen from 4.00-5.30)
Simply because they oversell it and then just go "oh wait, you can't mimic my gears? sucks to be you"
Unfortunately I have to say Tenha is also kinda one of them. If you can't showcase a 5* character without reasonable gears at c0, its just plain misleading to others.
It takes ~2 days worth of resin just to farm enough artifact to level one 5* artifact to +20, so 10 days for a full set (assuming that you do not use/keep any of those artifacts) and ~12 days worth of resin to level a character to lv 90. and with weapons.... that's about a month's worth of resin (assuming that you are farming post AR45, its going to be a lot more pre-45)
Its a really heavy investment for most of us and I absolutely despise people who just shrug it off.
currently i would say there is 2 content creators that i would go to to understand a character POTENTIAL
1) jinjinx & turner. their breakdown is more bare bones maths and test, they genuinely go through spreadsheets of data as proof to you whats achievable and whats not
BUT, you'd have to sit through hrs or wait for their tldr which is also pretty long and actually digest the information that they provided properly and make that judgement yourself.
2) tenha. albeit his tendency to just outright whale, he does test properly and transparently. If hes on food and buffs, he tells u so, he shows his gears and up his talent by batches.
from childe onwards he tries to test the characters itself from con0 to con6 ramping the upgrades up periodically.
so you pretty much get an idea how much difference a vanilla unit is to a stacked unit. if that unit is not big pp dmg, he'll tell you it isint, at least hes honest bout its potential.
Again, if players cant make proper judgement themselves after seeing all these information laid out for them by these 2 creators, i rest my case...lol
And i think another creator that is definitely worth watching would be Enviosity.
As for the others, i think you pretty much nailed em bout overselling a unit without proper transparency, not gonna mention em, but pretty much almost all aside from the 3 ive mentioned are guilty AF
Take every guides/showcase/videos with a grain of salt, and calculate/observe/decide for yourself if thats achievable by your own standards/preference
if it fits your bill, go for it and you wont have any regrets.
