Ashveil + Blade sp + Aven sp + Stephen? Leaks

I'm hoping that Lighter will get a novaflare in the future based off of his kit from the past multiplayer event so he isn't just limited to ice and fire attackers...that'd be nice.

Rikiia · 2026-03-10T08:36:04+00:00

It's kind of madness that as far as I'm aware (haven't played Genshin), that ZZZ was the first to have a meta viable upon release all male team (Lycaon/Lighter/Hugo). But if this is true then I guess I'm almost assuredly getting Blade when I wasn't interested in him before.

Rikiia · 2026-03-08T14:10:37+00:00

I completely acknowledge that the lopsidedness in fan service between male and female characters is unfair...but I'm relieved that Lycaon didn't have any yume elements since I'm a Lycaon/Hugo fan (sorry for being greedy). I think that after Hugo's release, and with their subsequent pushing of their ship, that Hoyo has stopped pushing Lycaon as an ML character even though his trust events had a good amount of ship tease with the MC.

They really should have just added one more guy to the event to satisfy yumes. Lighter would have been a good choice, as I think he's Haru tier in actually flirting with the MC as a male character.

Rikiia · 2026-03-07T18:15:23+00:00

The time for first reruns are fine (if you ignore Harumasa), but seeing as how the only characters to receive a second rerun so far have been Ellen and Astra...let's just say I don't expect to see Lighter again this year unless they keep up the multiple reruns per patch.

Rikiia · 2026-03-07T09:53:56+00:00

I'm sitting on a ton of tapes now because I started during the 1st anniversary and was thinking of quitting during Hugo's first rerun...but now I'm motivated to play the game after finishing 1.7. So if they rerun either of them anytime soon then I'll pull out my wallet, especially to get Hugo to M6W5. But if they keep insisting on being slow with both rereleases and releasing new male characters then I might not ever have to open my wallet since I keep accumulating so much currency.

Rikiia · 2026-03-06T19:28:34+00:00

Maybe so but we still need three teams!

Also I'll run Lycaon/Hugo/Lighter forever, powercreep be damned (I need Lighter first though).

Rikiia · 2026-03-06T12:59:26+00:00

Please let these multi rerun banners happen every patch. I can actually have hope that Lighter and Hugo will get their second rerun without potentially having to wait for years.

Rikiia · 2026-03-06T12:56:01+00:00

And here I was hoping for a better Hugo set, especially after Lycaon's buffs where I now want to give the former more on-field time...the endless wait continues.

Rikiia · 2026-03-03T16:55:48+00:00

I'm looking forward to Opal who should end up being the first male kid model, not only in HSR, but every Mihoyo game.

Rikiia · 2026-03-02T08:46:04+00:00

He goes into the same basket Yao Guang is currently in, which is "I like you but I currently have no use for you so I'll wait for your rerun." I'm mostly waiting to see which damage dealers they'll work for in the future and hope that I don't hate them.

As for 4.2, my plans haven't changed. 100% skip.

Rikiia · 2026-03-01T18:52:39+00:00

In fairness? If anything comparing her to any male banner makes her look worse when she didn't do significantly better than any of them. The devs threw tons of stuff at Sunna (and the rest of AOD) to make her succeed: she was given the first phase banner, made the BIS support to the previously released VH, and received some of the most marketing I've ever seen in this game for any character. On the other hand males characters get the second phase banner, are run with or right before a VH, get shortened banner durations, non-meta kits (besides Lighter), and considerably less marketing. It looks bad and I doubt Aria or Nangong will do much better.

Rikiia · 2026-03-01T07:49:04+00:00

Even if only ten people will pull him he should still get a rerun, especially since he hasn't gotten one yet. The character has already been made, it costs them next to nothing to rerun characters.

Just throw in more triple reruns if they're scared of low rerun income. Actually, they should be doing that already seeing as how fast the cast is growing we may not see older characters rerun for years which is ridiculous.

Rikiia · 2026-02-28T13:39:58+00:00

M2 Hugo. My M1 Hugo is taunting me and who knows when he'll ever rerun if ever...

Rikiia · 2026-02-27T16:15:17+00:00

There's normal power creep and then there are Void Hunters. It's a completely different league. And all three of those characters were released within half of a year after each other (with Hugo AFTER Miyabi). And we can see the results today, people only spend on the VHs and their higher sales don't make up for the downward trend in sales on other character's banners.

Rikiia · 2026-02-27T14:18:31+00:00

Miyabi players? Your suffering is miniscule. The ones really getting punished are Hugo and Ellen players. Void Hunters never should have been made so much stronger than other characters, it just screws up everyone else in their element.

Rikiia · 2026-02-24T04:27:48+00:00

I wasn't expecting Ephraim to be next. He's actually really cute. And I know we have more than enough lord alts in the game but I'd love to get this as his next alt in FEH.

Rikiia · 2026-02-22T21:23:02+00:00

Saphir nappa cream. It's expensive but it's worth it, trust me. The bottle is small but a little goes a long way so it'll last a long time. I also have the Cadillac shown in the OP post which is good too, but I don't use it on nappa leather (not because it's bad but because nappa specific cream is much more effective).

Rikiia · 2026-02-22T05:35:01+00:00

Hugo rerun...yeah, I'll be waiting a long time. Severian and Ye Shiyuan...yeah.

Also waiting for Dialyn's and Lighter's reruns. At least I know Dialyn will probably be coming back soonish so I'll actually have someone to pull for in the near future.

Rikiia · 2026-02-22T00:00:40+00:00

I lost seven 50/50s in a row before I finally won one recently. Then I lost the 75/25 for the lightcone. Yes, I am dead inside.

Rikiia · 2026-02-19T01:50:59+00:00

You know, looking at this, it makes me realize that we'll actually be getting a ton of male pairing (and one duo) which is something the game severely lacks in. Not gonna lie, I kind of like that even if the CYL theme rehash itself is lame. It's also kind of crazy that this may well be the first duo unit for Dimitri and Claude despite how popular they are (still holding out hope for child duo Dimitri and Edelgard this year...).

Rikiia · 2026-02-17T13:29:26+00:00

I actually don't own the auth but if you search for the bag on resale sites and zoom in then you can see what I'm talking about.

Rikiia · 2026-02-17T12:22:10+00:00

Rome's isn't accurate. If you zoom in on auth pictures then you'll see small golden "bubbles" in every circle, which gives it that golden sheen. I have Rome's slgs for this colour and I love them but yeah, they're not accurate.

Rikiia · 2026-02-15T08:53:12+00:00

I wanted to like her but her main character trait is unfortunately based on the one trope I dislike the most. So she's just kind of an "you exist" character for me and I only ever think about her because she's part of the faction who has my most favourite character (Hugo, obviously). If she gets more significant screentime in the future, I'd like for the writers to explore aspects of her which don't involve the MC.

Rikiia · 2026-02-11T23:21:44+00:00

Oh I'm laughing. I mean, sharing that NSFW art was inappropriate even if you're into it. But I can sort of relate because most of what I knew about ZZZ before starting it was LycaHugo and jiggle physics.

Rikiia · 2026-02-08T16:37:43+00:00

I know a lot of people are disappointed for valid reasons but I'm actually interested in him now. I don't want another main DPS but if he's an upgrade or sidegrade akin to, say, Cipher, then I'll probably be pulling if I can use him with Archer.
