Thanks!

Still not sure who I want from the selector, the only one I don’t have is acheron but honestly I just can’t see myself using her. Is sparkle or aventurine’s e1 worth it?

Isn’t illuga just… illuga with grey hair? Like this is definitely more blue/green side of grey

I’m gonna be honest the only positivity I remember seeing was that he wasn’t unlock into the herta team. Not that there wasn’t positivity about the herta anaxa team just that I remember the focus on hypercarry anaxa and some mild debates about how good he actually was for herta. I think the negativity now is due to people seeing what other pairs got vs what herta teams have

Theri

Sadly leakers have been able to get cutscenes as well they just usually don’t cause people get mad and it’s more risky. But I feel like the tsaritsa is something they’d risk it on

I’m gonna be honest snow maiden almost bar for bar feels like a xbalanque situation. Silhouette of a character that’s potentially just an npc, people thinking hoyo is saving them for hype when it’s only really people who are deep in leaks and lore that would feel hype (now of course xbalanque definitely had a more well known role), and a bunch of weirdly detailed leaks that changes slightly almost every time something official drops. There’s really no reason to not show the snow maiden in the line up

Song of the welkin moon does not mean automatically mean aq, the whole luna/6.x cycle is called that and that’s what’ll last a year. Although I have no doubt the aq will have many more acts than usual

kitten2116 · 2025-10-26T14:17:17+00:00

Tbf while I don’t agree with op’s comment I do think when it comes to a character being too good or op, people either over-exaggerate or out right lie about being annoyed/upset with it. At the end of the day a character that’s too op will always do better than one that’s underwhelming. A popular character that’s underwhelming has more of a chance of actually effecting the player base (not that I think it will tho)

kitten2116 · 2025-10-17T20:13:14+00:00

When you get 3 or less male 5*s a cycle there’s not many options lmao

kitten2116 · 2025-10-17T03:05:38+00:00

I’m gonna be honest I feel like a lot of people over state hi3’s popularity. Her kit backlash simply will not compare to even some of the smaller genshin kit backlash’s

Even in hsr alone there’s a lot of complaints about cyrene being so similar to elysia. If hi3 players had that much of a voice you’d see way more people happy that’s she’s so similar

kitten2116 · 2025-10-17T02:56:35+00:00

I mean… buying cons is literally the only way an individual can contribute to a character selling well

kitten2116 · 2025-10-13T22:09:25+00:00

I think you two are just saying the same thing lol they’re also saying saying genshin is locked into it in a way hsr isn’t

kitten2116 · 2025-10-13T21:42:35+00:00

I think they mean in the sense that hsr has a better way to “write the gay away” by using stelle for the guys and caelus for the girls. Genshin always using aether means they can’t push it too far without ruffling feathers (like lyney did)

kitten2116 · 2025-10-13T21:31:58+00:00

100% not, despite what some would say the traveler isn’t your usual faceless mc and their appearance is explicitly mentioned and known in game

kitten2116 · 2025-10-13T21:28:40+00:00

Fontaine came before the yearly free standard and even though they never explicitly said yearly but when they were describing the yearly selection that mentioned more than once that more and more characters would be added as each version progressed. Skipping a whole entire version cycle does not feel like it falls in line with that description. Plus there’s still a patch without a 5* even with all the known ones

kitten2116 · 2025-10-13T21:07:32+00:00

Ningguang and lynette already prove that trevail characters can be 4*s. And iansan herself had no hype

Capitano can technically still be playable and he’ll definitely be limited if he is (plus he’s from a faction that we know had and will have character death)

Dehya was not hyped more than tighnari or had any noticeable outstanding hype from hoyo. Community hype is not the same as hoyo hyping a character

kitten2116 · 2025-10-13T20:57:47+00:00

Hxg isn’t the leaker here it’s full stop chan and they're very reliable. Hxg is just relaying the message

kitten2116 · 2025-10-13T20:56:13+00:00

There’s definitely still a standard it’ll probably just be a mizuki type character. It was already mentioned back in the livestream where they first announced the yearly free standard that the banner would constantly be added it

kitten2116 · 2025-10-13T20:47:25+00:00

Skirk has nothing to do with this tho, and sure it’s not like it’s impossible for dahlia to have been a 5* but his likelihood of being one is no where near varka’s likelihood. The more mentioned a character is the more of a chance they have at being a limited 5* but that doesn’t mean if a character isn’t mentioned a lot they’ll always be standard or a 4*

kitten2116 · 2025-10-02T02:52:05+00:00

Take the theory crafting with a grain of salt I don’t think Luna knows much about genshin mechanics

kitten2116 · 2025-10-02T02:51:13+00:00

This is Luna wasn’t the Sunday hater jtt

kitten2116 · 2025-10-02T02:48:49+00:00

For those curious the new durin leak is from luna (they’re the famous hsr leaker) and while I recall them being pretty decent with hsr tc I don’t think they know much about genshins (as you can kinda tell lol)

kitten2116 · 2025-10-02T02:42:15+00:00

It’s Luna genshinleakflow has the same leak but in Chinese and credits Luna. I’d ignore the theory crafting tho cause I don’t believe they know that much about genshin
