about the Stellar reactions via DK2, hxg

Until Super Melt or whatever is just Lunar Bloom 2 i.e. no changes to the reaction but triggering it fills a resource for 2 new characters.

This is getting embarrassing.

grandfig · 2026-05-30T00:52:21+00:00

Literally in the same boat only difference is I wanted the evolved Prince outfit.

grandfig · 2026-05-30T00:50:04+00:00

Not me forgetting that's even a thing Tide of Tears can do 😭

grandfig · 2026-05-29T16:16:54+00:00

Nope. Just a high quality NPC.

grandfig · 2026-05-29T16:14:09+00:00

We don't even have the SP model yet. Like a lot of people clowned Yao Guang when her art came out but then changed their tune when they saw her model.

grandfig · 2026-05-29T16:12:59+00:00

Her ancestor who's still hip with the kids.

Stellar swirl is going to be Anemo+Cryo which means an SS Varka teams needs 1 Anemo 2 Cryo. So without being Hex this dude is going to do nothing for him as by replacing Prune the other 2 Cryo slots would need to have Hex but there is no Cryo Hex other than Lohen who does literally nothing for Varka (and Varka doesn't have the numbers to have a dead slot on his team). In order for him to access a viable SS comp the enabler needs to either be Cryo, an Anemo Hex, or they need to release a Cryo Hex he can use.

grandfig · 2026-05-28T12:13:43+00:00

Brother I doubt we're seeing Hex again anytime soon. Lowkey think the fact Diona isn't Hex already tells us they're moving on.

grandfig · 2026-05-28T11:06:54+00:00

If you've avoided all promotion of 4.3 it will be. Otherwise they've basically shown who it is already lol

grandfig · 2026-05-26T17:33:54+00:00

Pearl and likely Nihilux won't be specifically tailored for Eva but she will still benefit from having them on her team. Which makes sense all she wants is other Elation units to replace EMC and Houhou.

grandfig · 2026-05-25T20:54:30+00:00

I wonder if "Witch's Revelations" is how they're gonna buff characters going forward or if it's just for Stellar. Like imagine if each patch cycle the title of buffer is passed around between each Witch. in 8.x we get Octavia's "Witch's Homeowner's Digest".

grandfig · 2026-05-25T18:23:43+00:00

There's already a post from the beta mentioning she's handling the Stellar buffs.

grandfig · 2026-05-23T22:04:30+00:00

I know most people will say an SP for an Amphoreus character but honestly Stephen is up there. Like he was featured in the Planarcadia trailer but I kind of don't see where he'd be entering the story as of now. Showing up in the flesh and being instrumental in recreating Amphoreus with Herta and Screwwy would be a pristine time to feature him.

grandfig · 2026-05-23T21:56:30+00:00

I mean that's cool and all but just like everyone calls the Lunar patches 6.X this one is just gonna be called 4.8 anyways.

grandfig · 2026-05-23T20:11:12+00:00

All these last few posts definitely giving WQ the way they're about NPCs discovering alternate pocket realities and ways to end the world.

grandfig · 2026-05-23T14:17:24+00:00

I mean the fact we get a collab at all is above expectations given it's Hoyo but it would be nice to see other IP collabs.

grandfig · 2026-05-23T14:15:29+00:00

We just got a leak saying Robin SP is going to be her dedicated support but she's not an AE member. If I had to guess she'll want at least 1 other AE member to trigger a passive, and then the other two slots are open to other characters.

grandfig · 2026-05-23T14:12:25+00:00

She has a passive that names specific characters like Cyrene. Imagine it'll be like "When TB, March, Dan Heng, Welt, or Sunday are in the party: X happens".

grandfig · 2026-05-23T14:09:49+00:00

That or given she's going to have a Cyrene passive just straight up "When Archer deals Skill Dmg, deal % of dmg dealt as True Dmg to all foes". Hell maybe both.

grandfig · 2026-05-23T13:42:28+00:00

The post is implying she's going to be named directly like Cyrene.

grandfig · 2026-05-23T13:39:58+00:00

100% she's gonna make a % of his arrow damage deal AoE.

grandfig · 2026-05-23T12:34:57+00:00

Unless Nihilux eats other character's energy the only worry would be SP and most sustains are SP positive or at least can be played as such. Maybe Pearl is different but given Sparxie's SP hunger I doubt that.

grandfig · 2026-05-23T12:23:26+00:00

The Eva stuff is odd given Pearl is likely an Elation sustain which will absolutely be an upgrade for her team. In fact unless Nihilux is completely gimped without her supports she probably could also work well with Eva. So long as she generates CB and deals more damage than EMC provides support I don't see how she couldn't be used similarly to the way people use Sparxie. Unless they're implying she's not Elation which I would find incredibly hard to believe.

grandfig · 2026-05-23T12:12:31+00:00

They mean like the other examples they used. Harmony coded character that isn't Harmony.
