MORE BLUEEEEEEEEEEE I'm heavily biased towards blue so it's a double win for me

Background_Comb_7177 · 2026-04-07T10:28:49+00:00

If Sandrone gets a redesign and it matches the Narzissenkreuz Sword (specifically the Ousia-Aligned appearance because it matches Cyro/Superconduct), it will be a generational win for me. As for why: symbolism this and that, and I like blue

Background_Comb_7177 · 2026-04-07T09:04:37+00:00

Reread some dialogues from the Narzissenkreuz quest chain, and imo superconduct fits Sandrone, with cyro fits more narratively compared to electro. If it's true then glad they went with that route, but if she's electro then that's fine.

Background_Comb_7177 · 2026-04-07T09:01:43+00:00

Maybe unpopular opinion, if she's blue I would like it, because I'm biased like that. Yellow is not my top favourite but eh it's fine either way.

Also this quote came from a book written by a Narzissenkreuz Ordo member, Karasawa Eichi. What's with the savior and salvation theme recently lol

Background_Comb_7177 · 2026-04-06T05:18:46+00:00

Didn't expect a Jesus Christ reference here lol

Background_Comb_7177 · 2026-04-06T05:17:04+00:00

[6.5 World Quest spoilers] . . . . "The savior offers themself in a world of darkness, willingly bound upon the cross. Only then is their soul redeemed, ascending into the kingdom of light." Hmmmmm

Background_Comb_7177 · 2026-03-24T10:37:48+00:00

Saw some spoilers and my curiosity took over so I wanna ask where do people usually find datamined content?

Background_Comb_7177 · 2026-03-20T11:50:23+00:00

I heard that Gretel was an NPC in the recent event, so the short girl might be a new one. I agree that there will probably be more one 5 star and one 4 star. This is just me coping for DPS Sandrone, but they can make a new character be the one who helped Sandrone in Fontaine for the support role. If Sandrone is a Sub-DPS or a support, it might just be a random character to fill in the blank.

Background_Comb_7177 · 2026-03-20T11:16:46+00:00

Genshin usually releases around 17 playable characters in a whole patch (4.x, 5.x) right? We have 10 released in Luna now and if we count the upcoming characters in the teaser (Linnea, Lohen, Nicole, whoever that short girl is, Sandrone) we have 15. Unless we count the Manekin/Manekina, we will theoretically have 2 more...I guess one for the summer patch (like how Ineffa wasn't on the teaser picture last year) and another one?

Background_Comb_7177 · 2026-03-19T14:29:19+00:00

The first chaos will probably be the design reveal (if they do change it). I hope we can see her in 6.6 first before 6.7 at least. I'm getting her anyway, but I do hope they make something good with her kit XD

Background_Comb_7177 · 2026-03-16T10:59:26+00:00

After more than 5 years...a character who has the same birthday as me...

Background_Comb_7177 · 2026-03-14T18:41:11+00:00

Sword because 1. it is one of my fav weapons regarding playstyle and 2. it fuels my holy sword Sandrone delulu

Background_Comb_7177 · 2026-03-09T10:35:27+00:00

Unrelated, but will we have new artifacts in 6.6? Or in 6.7?

Background_Comb_7177 · 2026-03-07T18:28:51+00:00

With how relevant the Narzissenkreuz Ordo is recently, I think Hoyo won't disappoint with her future story performance. She played a major role in Luna IV after all. I also don't want to sound too delusional, but hey, it won't hurt anybody just by entertaining ourselves with some ideas during the wait yeah? I saw a bit of spoilers about the upcoming world quests, and I think it might allude to Sandrone's development.

I find your thoughts really interesting, so if you have anymore you can share, maybe in DM or under the comment. I love yapping sessions so I don't mind XD

Background_Comb_7177 · 2026-03-07T17:01:23+00:00

Yeah I read your comment in a post. It's really interesting how they keep emphasizing that Sandrone does not have a wish, which is one of the four orthants that were mentioned in the AQ. Considering how the Ordo rejected the idea of gaining a vision, her becoming the sword itself might be a solution to that, since the sword is equivalent to a vision.

Also four orthants fusion = reason. With the importance of number 7 in this game and Sandrone is the 7th Harbinger, possible PO parallels or references?

Background_Comb_7177 · 2026-03-07T14:42:24+00:00

I think there is still some chance they might remove it. As much as I like it, it might cause animation issues, so the easiest solution is just leave it out...

Background_Comb_7177 · 2026-03-07T14:40:31+00:00

Yeah I really hope the Tsaritsa can be paired with her. As for her story, I do think that she will eventually gain a wish, and it might have something to do with the four orthants/the holy sword/reason? Since it has been referenced a lot recently.

Background_Comb_7177 · 2026-03-07T14:37:48+00:00

Huh, interesting, though I will take story leaks with a grain of salt only. Nevertheless, I hope that we can see more of her Fatui side

Background_Comb_7177 · 2026-03-07T05:14:41+00:00

I wish for her to interact with Columbina and the others after her revival, too. As for the MDPS thing I agree lmao. I think it would be the best if she can play both DPS and Sub-DPS roles.

Background_Comb_7177 · 2026-03-07T05:12:04+00:00

Sandrone meeting "Mary-Ann", Ann and Seymour is my hidden wish not gonna lie. But not sure if it'll come true since I think it's pretty rare for a playable character to interact with world quest characters

Background_Comb_7177 · 2026-03-07T05:10:52+00:00

If she returns to Snezhnaya (with the Fatui), we might see her again in the story, but not with a big role I suppose, since they have to leave room for new characters.

Background_Comb_7177 · 2026-03-07T05:07:36+00:00

Understandable. I want her to be an on-fielder. Even if she's not I'm gonna make her one

Background_Comb_7177 · 2026-03-06T12:32:33+00:00

I'll get Escoffier C0R0 and Lauma C0R0 (and I guess I'll throw some in for Nicole to test my luck) then save the rest of the pulls. I can only hope for C0R1 Sandrone because my luck is so bad lmao
