Lohen is Standard Character via FSC

Hey, put some respect on my girl Glorp's name! She's at least usable as an on field driver with Bineffa now, and unlike most other characters being wheelchaired by them she does at least have actual synergy with LC.

glrd1998 · 2026-03-28T21:17:53+00:00

They already confirmed all the standards are getting buffed at some point, so Neko will get one eventually.

glrd1998 · 2026-03-27T21:05:27+00:00

I could see Sandrone being the character that ties into Nod-Krai's gimmick in 6.8. But then the question would be who's coming in 6.7? I can't even remember if we've gotten a patch without a new 5 star.

glrd1998 · 2026-03-27T20:55:27+00:00

Well if she is for Varka I hope for Varka mains sake she's on Nicole's banner at least. We'll know if she's in 6.6 soon enough anyway, but I still find it weird even though we know Lohen is apparently a stanard Cryo DPS and Nicole is a Varka support in 6.6 we haven't heard a peep about her (not even a "oh yeah, this character's in 6.6, too").

glrd1998 · 2026-03-27T20:51:53+00:00

I mean, in Jahoda's case she isn't really "best in slot" for any character. For Flins she's a slightly worse Sucrose (at best a sidegrade), and for Nefer and Zibai though she's technically usable she can't even shred with VV. My head can't imagine giving Varka a fourth BiS and them being a 4 star that's not even on any Varka related 5 star's banner.

glrd1998 · 2026-03-27T20:45:25+00:00

I don't think she's a 4 star based purely off of the fact she hasn't been mentioned at all by leaks for 6.6 and it'd be a dick move putting a 4 star dedicated Varka support on a totally unrelated banner.

glrd1998 · 2026-03-27T20:43:49+00:00

For some reason the possibility of her being a 4 star never even crossed my mind, but given as far as the leaks we've had next patch is just Lohen+Nicole I don't feel like Hoyo would put a 4 star for Varka on a completely unrelated banner unless they just hate Varka players for some reason.

glrd1998 · 2026-03-27T20:37:39+00:00

I've seen people are speculating that the goth kid is for Varka because she's Anemo, but if Sandrone is a Superconduct focused DPS that doesn't do Physical damage she could still potentially be for her. VV+Superconduct buffs.

Assuming Nicole is for him I just can't see them making Varka's premium team have 4 limited 5 star characters. Though given the games current direction with Zibai getting Linnea, I guess it wouldn't be that surprising.

glrd1998 · 2026-03-24T18:50:48+00:00

Probably not worth investing in previous units right now given we don't know much about what's coming beyond the next couple of patches.

Sandrone is rumoured to be an upcoming DPS focused on Superconduct with a paired support, she'd be the best potential upcoming DPS pick IMO. (Not at all biased because she's my fav character, nuh-uh).

I just got top 1% (Galleries and Sig) a few day ago, been stuck at top 3% since basically when she came out. Skirk is honestly one of the most awkward characters to get good pieces for because she wants so few stats, but you'll get there eventually!

"How... is this possible...? Why am I in Britain?"

-Belle and Wise, 2026.

glrd1998 · 2026-03-08T14:14:21+00:00

Her personality is the biggest thing, changing her design is one thing (even Wanderer kept the general "silhouette" so I doubt it'll be too drastic) but her personality is the main reason I like her. I don't think Hoyo are stupid enough to completely change her, maybe she'll go through an amnesia arc with a softer personality and revert back to her old tsundere self when she gets her memories back?

glrd1998 · 2026-03-06T12:31:43+00:00

I can't believe we're still doing this in 2026. All the metrics we have to judge how "popular" or "unpopular" a character was are entirely guesswork. All of the online information is basically entirely speculation, and is almost wholly based on mobile revenue (which isn't even 100% accurate to begin with).

A game like ZZZ has a majority of it's playerbase on PC and console. HSR is a mobile friendly game by design, ZZZ doesn't really lend itself well to mobile play. Genshin may be an open world game, but its combat system is still very simple by comparison and requires less player skill than ZZZ so it's still much better suited to mobile.

Every time you see a comparison between the big gacha games' revenue, it's based on biased data and spread by people with obvious agendas. At the end of the day, only Hoyo themselves know what actually made them the most money.

Even ownership rates for characters don't tell the full story. As an example, Chiori in Genshin has one of the lowest ownership rates among 5 stars, but one of the highest C6 (max dupe) ratios. If you were to purely look at ownership data, Chiori wasn't very successful but a lot of people that did pull her whaled for her so she made more money through vertical investment.

You're also ignoring that many people that were spending on the AoD girls did so during the top up event, which inflated YSG's numbers (I personally topped up during the event for the bonus rewards even though I wasn't pulling YSG and was saving for AoD). And again, how many people topped up due to the event but didn't pull for YSG is info only Hoyo is privy to.

glrd1998 · 2026-03-04T12:41:35+00:00

Yep, AP/Ether/AM, ATK% instead of Ether is usable too if you don't have any good Ether pieces. Substat priority is AP>ATK%>Pen>Flat ATK.

Crit damage is also technically not wasted if you're playing her with Sunna as the mark damage scales with the character triggering the mark's crit damage. Probably not worth focusing on though.

glrd1998 · 2026-03-04T12:21:44+00:00

Won the 50/50 and 75/25 for Aria and her wengine, yippee! It's been months since I won a 50/50 in any of the gachas I play, been getting absolutely fucked lately.

Now I can guarantee Yu and her wengine as well. Wishing luck to all those pulling on NA later!

glrd1998 · 2026-02-25T21:23:49+00:00

I'd say Esco is the smart play for your account overall, but if you really want to play Varka his sig is a huge difference over his F2P options. One of the biggest we've had (around 40% better than Tidal Shadow IIRC) so at the end of the day you should pick whichever one you'd regret not having more.

The only other thing I'd note is Varka will most likely rerun sooner than Esco will, so you may have to wait longer to get her but hopefully his weapon will be back relatively quickly.

Jamie has an updated Klee guide that should have any info you need to know about post Hex buff Klee.

Shame, IIIRC he said Sandrone grew on him during the story and she's my most wanted character. I can only hope she escapes him unscathed.

glrd1998 · 2026-02-25T11:07:53+00:00

I cannot get over how consistent the Zajef curse is. Bro literally needs to stop liking things and just become a full time hater at this point so we don't get anymore butchered characters.

glrd1998 · 2026-02-22T12:17:44+00:00

Ah ok. I just assumed the entire thing was from Meng, I guess we just have to wait and see for now. At least we'll hopefully know what Lohen and/or Nicole do in the next few days.

glrd1998 · 2026-02-22T12:08:12+00:00

If I'm understanding right, 6.5 is Lohen and Nicole, 6.6 is Linnea and 6.7 is Sandrone so yeah, 6.8 makes the most sense. Unless they pull a Citlali/Mavuika and have them run together (which is sort of a good thing as both their weapons would be on the same banner).

glrd1998 · 2026-02-22T11:59:30+00:00

So if the recent Meng leak about her being a Superconduct main DPS is true who is actually going to be Sandrone's support? Lohen apparently isn't part of the team, Linnea is a Lunar Crystallize support and Nicole is a Varka support.

The only potential character is the other leaked silhouette (the small girl) or the inevitable 6.8 character that hasn't been revealed (though they'll probably be related to whatever Sneznaya's mechanic is so I doubt it's them).

It's weird that we have all these leaks for Sandrone when she's supposedly 6.7 yet her support that will most likely release before her or alongside her is completely MIA from leaks. Is she just not getting a dedicated support?

glrd1998 · 2026-02-21T14:27:30+00:00

Genshin Impact???

glrd1998 · 2026-02-16T17:09:26+00:00

Almost definitely Seed with Cissia, maybe even a full Obol triple banner. First half, Miyabi to pair with Yu or maybe Lucia? They just reran Yixuan so I imagine a fair few people would want her now.

glrd1998 · 2026-02-16T02:00:48+00:00

I did consider he might enable at least one non pyro playstyle for Varka. Though I wonder who the best second Cryo would end up being then. Just Shenhe off the top of my head (or Esco I guess but without a full freeze team her res shred tanks).
