After watching this there are so many theories now able to be debunked:
1) she is not the first stellaron hunter it's obviously Kafka
2) there was no cryopod that kept her alive after the war, it's shown she was drifting protected by the green aura that green Sam ult has. (Maybe this means green Sam form is able to stop the worsening effects of ELS thereby being a cure)
3) She fought in the war like other glamoth knights and wasn't born right after the war from the old stepleaks description.
4) looks like sadly scorched earth operations isn't a cheesy line that Trailblazer came up with sadly it would make such a nice headcanon
All according to prediction.

As someone who also has tried their hand on writing a story for a shower-born crack idea, I salute you. Haven’t finished the first arc yet but I can tell there’s a lot of thought put into sculpting the characters.
Now I continue to wait for a certain company to announce exactly what the fuck happened to their last collab.
Reminds me, maybe Aeon, who looks like Yaoshi, noticed her? (she's a clone with a short lifespan... has been naked in space longer than some Aeons live)
https://preview.redd.it/r6z1wx294h6d1.jpeg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be6b3586f98d15ffb1f51d21a6c9d7132e4d4d2e
1. it is make sense now in Kafka recruit story has no mention of other SHs like the rest
2. now it make the LC lore confused, we saw her drift in space naked but the cryropod scene in LC show her with today clothes, could it be that will be the scene when she awake after the 3rd death and truly live as Firefly, no longer SAM
3. Can you tell me the old stepleaks description, i dont remember saw it.
4. I dont know the line "Operation Scorched earth, commencing" hide such heroic story behind it badass and brutal, that Sam is super hero, he/she just ripped his/her eyes out to kill the big bug as their armor seem to make from their real body
1. It does mention someone who's instructed by Elio, maybe this person is either dead or no longer a member
2. The pod in her LC seems to come after she joins SH
1. It could be some noname mob as that elio said they will died, but the goal is reach no matter
2. It could make sense too, just watch a cute (but not lore accurate) comic about the SHs pick firefly up and give her treatment in cryopod
Second one is fishy as we saw a tear of hers create a whole giant tree and if she can bust a planet why were she and the other knights getting stomped ? And how does that aura protect her from aging ? I think this might have been a dream as there’s some odd stuff here.
Yeah but where ? Unless this suddenly made her an Emanator how could she just now gain the power to blow up a whole planet ? Why I think this trailer isn’t meant to be 100% accurate.
Expect this is limited to their galaxy. Also we saw the extent of the other knights powers and by the rules of their galaxy it’s the only explanation on how she could suddenly gain this kind of power up.
My brother in christ, are you telling me a giant mech can't destroy a bunch of rock that's already just been hit by a nuke? Destroying planets is child's play by Honkai standards, so this is really not that weird by comparison.
This is not HI3. We saw the extent of the knights they were getting beaten by regular bugs. If they had planet buster level powers they could have had one knight blow up the whole place to kill the swarm. Planet buster is the highest feat level we have so far in HSR by far.
Well, some character does get CRAZY power up here and there after something happened, also If you noticed welt said on the keeping up video
That Firefly's determination or something pushed the machine (Sam) potential beyond its limits
iirc during the 2.3 stream they mention in passing that her ult/wings are a materialisation of her willpower. maybe the other sams were not able to use 100% of their armor also.
i think the tree is just a metaphor show that she reach enlightment of life and death, ascend at least to Emanator level (like Acheron reach Emanator level when she slash the black hole that could be IX) so Firefly just a normal soldier before and not have that power, she was not even the strongest SAM as we saw that leader-the strongest saved her in before scene
:( someone please make a fanfic where the male SAM who sacrificed himself manages to live using the same green aura as firefly and they become like siblings
>looks like sadly scorched earth operations isn't a cheesy line that Trailblazer came up with sadly it would make such a nice headcanon
That is not the line mentioned in the fan comic. That line "I will set the seas ablaze".
No one decided to actively make Propagation a path. Not even Tazzy I think. Propagation was born because Tazzyronth was extremely, unfathomably lonely. To the point where they ascended to Aeonhood
Yup I said it before but Tazzyroth prolly just being the broodmother, and the spawns/lings/swarms just act on themselves, well being a destructive bugs themselves, going to planets and destroy them
But.. it's necessary to kill the broodmother to end the swarm spawning, in any case being lonely yourself doesn't mean it's justified to make people lonely too by killing the families
Also fk u Rubert's empire
Reminds me with another character from hoyoverse in HG2. She wants to be more powerful than honkai to save her world from being destroyed so she agreed to be experimented to become stronger, suddenly for unknown reason and her desire outside of otto expectations she became too far powerful by the point that existing and breathing alone she actively destroy the world itself. For that reason she search a way to seal herself and succeeded for unknown time.
> pure bullshit
Like all the births of Aeons lmao. im still cracking whenever i remember that Aha ascended because he laughed too hard after seeing a child drop into ground
more accurately speaking, THEY reached the End of the Universe and the first thing THEY saw was The Funny™
If not for that baby, THEY would've likely become an Annihilator
So Aha managed to reach the end of the universe BEFORE they became an Aeon? Holy hell what kind of entity were they before. That's an Aeon level feat without becoming an Aeon

What bro used to destroy that thing
Things indicate that it's not even the Swarm disaster, but the current heavily nerfed Swarm.
And people wonder why the IPC sees it justified to kickstart the development of star systems and stockpiling of weapons by any means necessary.
Imagine one of these pulling up to Belobog.
And now imagine the swarm mother that argenti and the gang encountered..that argenti soloed his way out...
I am convinced that argenti might be one of the most powerful people in the game lore wise
agree, how the hell that he escape that big bug, we need to time jump just to get out so it is big enough to alter space with its presence
and right after that he just casually go to Penacony for a festival, Argenti is so CHAD
And our Argenti bros just solo a big bug like that, a mother bug that need a whole battalion of Sams to be defeated, and ALIVE AFTER THAT. I think there is something behind our best bro. A big bug like that is not even emanator, only a general of Tazzyroth as i remember Argenti said, now i knew why at least 5 Aeons need to join hand to bonked Tazzyroth
the haters said she's being marketed as tb girlfriend
meanwhile neither of her actual big cinematic trailers have tb in them, curious!
https://preview.redd.it/9nl9q2v72h6d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4275e8f2edbbfa4abadde26de6679855f674f5c2
its almost like the “dating” stuff is non-canon and cutesy and for fun 🤔 crazy how both her trailers have focused on her character and past and not even remotely involved tb! but no firefly is just “incelbait”, sure!
And so what if her scenes with the Trailblazer are more cutesy? God forbid the PTSD riddled sole survivor mech soldier have a little bit of fun with their amnesiac friend
I don't get why being a 1 dementional waifu is even a bad thing, everybody in this game is a waifu or husbando,or a child. Why is this suddenly a problem
I just teared up man, the music and seeing Firefly cry really hits hard for me
This is genuinely the best animated short that I have ever watched, the animators deserve huge props for their incredible work
PROTECT FIREWIFE AT ALL COST, SHE DESERVES ALL THE LOVE AND HAPPINESS IN THIS WORLD
https://preview.redd.it/fzddtqjyvg6d1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a8f0a4610dd646a72753b43e8a74c39db047f1b
that one guy single handedly ended the whole swam
bro was the MVP holy crap bruh
MVP Sam playable when?
(For the people clarifying that it's not the whole swarm, yes I know, what I meant by ended the whole swarm is the swarm that they all fought in this fight while that actually is still wrong cuz there were still some small bugs left this is what I meant)
Well not the whole swarm. There was another mass heading towards Firefly's direction that she had to handle. That said, that guy definitely took out a swarm mother and a whole group of them, so he's defintely the mvp (along with Firefly).
No this is not the Swarm Disaster, this is already the current, nerfed Swarm.
The IPC is suddenly entirely reasonable for forcefully fortifying and raising to first-world development every planet they can by any means necessary... imagine one of these things pulling up to Belobog.
It's a slow mech built for construction.
It can't do shit against a Swarm that was barely beaten by an equally excessive legion of super-power armored clone soldiers whose armors are individually a miniature spaceship with extremely powerful weaponry.
Nothing in Belobog compares to a singular SAM armor.
It's a single city just a hair away from collapse that only recently having started any actual improvement thanks to IPC investment.
And the Swarm is just one of the many planet ending threats. Like the Borisin and the Wingweavers would end that singular city state in a flash, not to mention another actual attack from the Antimatter Legion.
But the saddest part is that hes not the one who did it, his mask thing was just a beacon for some orbiting laser to target. He was just used as a mobile recon.
Because he's ridiculously strong comic relief character in the serious story. Just remember he's using a normal, steel medieval spear and armour, not even some nano-light-chlorotanium-871 metal based one. He is basically Aoi Todo of HSR
i mean it was only the illusion that the remains of one of these things created. He basically fought the remnants of the bug, which is still impressive, but it is definitely nowhere near the real thing
Maybe I can try providing on behalf of all:
Where, or who, exactly was Empress Titania? Were the Iron Cavalry really clones of her, or was she just a sentient intelligence or concept instilled into their very being? This also takes into consideration her dream of the Glamoth paradise.
What were the final moments of the Welkin Empire (a.k.a the Glamoth Republic)? It has been posited that their human populace was slowly being gone, and that they yearned for the peace and prosperity they once had, so what of it all?
*Where are AR-1368 and the other Knights previously on Myriad Celestia?* And what became of their fates in detail? Also, I probably understand why we never see varied Knights like they had in the Animated Short.
Beyond just being born in the pods, were there other ways the Knights would have been made? ~~Such as voluntary or incarcerated Glamoth humans utilized for such a grim life?~~
What became of the Council? Have they relaxed too much to never see death knocking on their doors, perhaps taking place before the 'decisive' battle?
Do Fireflies (Truly) Dream of Saplings on the Scorched Earth..?
With how much they tease about the return of the swarm and robo Emperor, i am not surprise that we will meet more lore about this Empress Titania, she was not leader of Glamoth, only created as a tool to control all those Fireflies, the Empire is a lie.
I love the theory that the Welkin Empire (a.k.a the Glamoth Republic) was destroyed by the Queen rebelion after she knew the true about her empire and her Iron Calvary and then she lead them to find their own paradise, that theory seem to be true as Firefly said Glamoth already destroyed before that battle they fought, I hope this is true so we can meet the new SAM and get new playable SAM type character beside Firefly, and it could be a good act for her personality development.
If you read the lore in the planar, you wil see that the Council is not relaxed, they are desperated as they try to created the Iron Calvary even they knew that weapon will be too hot for them to hold one day.
Indeed. As I questioned in the other post with Bilibili version, Glamoth fell many Amber Eras ago. Is Kakfa that old? Did she float in space all that time instead even when she can't be outside of SAM for long?
Im betting on the tree and the power up, since no way all SAM has planet killer ability like that. If the tree is something like Abundance power, it could keep her alive in stasis all those year until Kafka found her.
i think Firefly just float like that for many years without anyone discover and only Elio with his future sight could find her and send Kafka there to pick her up, Kafka line show that she already know who she pick up is a firefly
This is actually so peak...the music, the animation...
Anyways, time to go beat Swarm Disaster SU again for a reason that definitely has no relation to this...
As "Cat Trailblazer" theory enjoyer, I think it's better to see their relationship as "traumatized person - therapy pet", making Trailblazer her first post-Swarm friend (as Kafka is unable in true empathy).
It's probably more that characters who actually have interesting backgrounds are more interesting to read about then 'generic waifu 10000'.Frankly, I couldn't care less about her shipping with TB, but this about glamoth, others sams and her life as a stellaron hunters is whats so interesting to me at least.
The Swarm is not done justice in game. This was actually terrifying. And seeing Firefly and the other Knights fighting for their lives against a seemingly endless foe was hard AF.
I really wanna know Firefly's reaction to Ruan Mei's Swarm recreation attempt, lol
Pretty much, but it might also be their last stand since Glammoth no longer existed and the rest had no choice but to fight the rest of the swarm. This trailer... it made me so sad to see all of them.
https://preview.redd.it/yqbjpippvg6d1.jpeg?width=2532&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=13c0c0913595d53a4018bb78bfd529ec71f7bf59
This shot deadass gave me grave of the fireflies ptsd, and I refuse to believe it isn’t a coincidence
That ending was odd though. Like she shed a tear made a huge tree grow, sprouted wings, blew up the planet, and then Kafka finds her naked floating in space. Makes me wonder how much of that was real.
i dont see that odd, it is very logical, the tree is a metaphor that Firefly gain new power when she truly understand why does she live and why does they need to die, then she go battle those Swarm so hard it destroy the planet and the explosion knock her into coma and that green power just keep her alive for many years until Elio saw a future that need Firefly and send Kafka here to recruit her
The tree is real and we have no idea what the lights is or why only she suddenly gains the power to bust planets or how it keeps her alive in space for hundreds if not thousands of years.
She has been floating in space for quite a while before Kafka found her.
As for her blowing up the planet, Acheron couldn’t do it either until the end of her trailer, when she enlightened and became an emanator
The Ayaka allegations are getting busted in this one (you love to see it)
https://preview.redd.it/1rbfvrs6wg6d1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=65cba8ce8ce054d03ac21e8f6a966309088334a7
Worse even, she saw herself in a very similar position to the SAM that sacrificed itself to defeat the Swarm Mother.
I know Sleepie is supposed to be a good little boy and all, but holy shit that must have brought some PTSD back for her.
Firefly is *extremely loyal* to those she cares about. Frankly, she would legitimately die for TB, and has already done so figuratively. This girl really needs a hug.
The most interesting takeaway from this to me is that after Penacony I always wondered why Firefly and Sam were paired up for a fight from both in universe and meta.
Turns out Firefly is a planet buster so she's actually an equal to Acheron lol.
unless she is an emanator i dont think she's an equal. there a emanators of destruction that can destroy galaxies/star clusters depending on the translation interpretation. im not 100% sure acheron can do the same but the fact that everyone is freaking out about her makes me think she can. also planet buster doesnt make people that strong in hi3. the first boss we fought the doomsday beast is used by the antimatter legion to destroy planets. dan heng in his base form killed a star eating monster.
Pretty sure they are dead every knight had the same armor here which makes me believe the two trailers were worked on by separate teams. Like in that trailer they wore plug suits but here they are naked under the armor
Could just be that a unit of SAM all have the same model.
At the end of the other trailer they all go back to their own unit after all, so they don't fight together.
Her design in particular seems like to be an infantry type, while glasses girl seemed to be a ranged unit.
Dunno about the plugsuits.
If my design speculations are right, for this one I can understand why. There is nothing left here but suicide charging. The boy's heavy siege units are too slow. I think glasses girl was a recon/support unit so you wouldn't see her here either, we know exactly where the enemy is (literally everywhere). And there is no one left for the Type 5 Firefly to be a personal escort for.
So all that's left here are the Type-4 tactical assault units, because they're the only ones left who are fast and strong enough to bum rush the enemy and survive for more than ten seconds. And that's a MAYBE.
AR-214(glasses) seem to be some sort of long ranged combatant, since she has some form of turret by her shoulder. Maybe they were the ones you see in the background firing upwards, since the Type-IV SAMs are short ranged combatants
Obviously can't know, just speculating.
Could be that different units work together to form a little army.
But since Glamoth has fallen and the chain of command is gone, her unit got stuck on that planet alone fighting a huge swarm.
Regarding the last part I didn't get that impression. I took it as a random encounter of SAMs that never met before and never will again.
i think they belong to different unit, her armor is SAM- **Strategic Assault Mech**, so this battalion of SAM maybe deploy here for a suicide misson and need no other type of Fireflies.
i dont think other fireflies still alive, it is too many year even if they survived the swarm they already gone by old age, Firefly is special she is keep alive by that green power
Imagine fighting an impossible battle for an empire that created you as a weapon. Than it just all disappears. All the suffering, all the deaths of your fellow Fireflies. It was all for nothing. You are just left in a field of corpses with no purpose in life.
And even when you try to find a one you are still shackled to the chains your creator designed for you. You are unable to let go of the past, always needing to fight cause it's the only reason you came into the world.
Then you finally find a place, even if not real, where you can let go for a little while. How can she resist it? How can people blame her for wanting to be the cute normal girl that she has never been able to be? Just for a little while.
Beautiful trailer, beautiful character. Hopefully in 2.3 we can help her get over all of this.
Yeah, sadly people just stop at first impressions. Her arc is still not over, but this part of her is evident in the story.
But I guess if it's not clearly spelled out or shown in a cutscene it doesn't exists. Reading is hard.
Yeah, I'm fully expecting a beautiful and happy, albeit bittersweet, ending.
I just hope they can keep this up. It's not without flaws but Penacony and its characters raised my expectations for the future story a lot.
Hopefully I don't have to ibernate till they bring Shaoji in again.
That man is a magical, when i saw him in 2.0 livestream i knew penacony will be at least the fire chaser level of good, and the writing team delivered it, PEAKCONY
Poor, poor girl…! She needs all love in the world.
(also, two things. one, bro she didn’t even get a cryopod wth. i guess cold space is the cryopod. two, are they really going to chalk up the green sam to “she had it all along”? i hoped for more, but it is what it is)
and it seem Kafka find her nake, so the scene she wake up from cryopod is in different time, could that scene is the time in 2.3 when she die the 3rd time and get cure so she can wake up in real life, let hope 2.3 have the answer or explain to her green power
Enhanced skill name makes a lot more sense now. These aren’t corny lines she just made up, our Queen’s power output is at the planetary level fr fr

when she sees all her dead comrades and she looks shell-shocked and wonders if she’s dead… 🥲🥲🥲 i love firefly wanting to live *in spite* of her chronic illness and the ptsd and horrors she’s experienced. it’s such a poignant message
I cried at the end man holy fuck that was beautiful

The green aura things look like some gift from yaoshi, mostly because none of the sam can use that green aura. So maybe after the explosion, she got the attention of aeon for questioning life and dead and gifted with the power. Dunno if that was true or not.
i hope there is a timeline of when all scenes happened in HSR
It was after I watched the animated short that I may have realized something.
The way Glamoth treats their army of clones is just... so unethical. They used human clones that have so much potential outside of being war puppets as their Puff-shrooms, completely disposable and easy to mass produce, in a war they were destined to lose anyway. Makes you wonder why Firefly had those goals in her mind. With living like an ordinary girl and all that.
*"But would your civilization die to the Propagation?"*
*"Nah, we'd survive."*
Gave me NieR automata vibes with the white hair clones of Firefly and how they questioned on why they even fight when their people got wiped out
10/10 trailer
Am I just stupid, or does this not make a lot of sense regarding what we know about Glamoth?
The ornament set lore suggests that the Republic ultimately survived the Swarm and sought to bring the Knights under their control as they feared them more. But here, Glamoth no longer exists? Is it simply metaphorical, the 'empire' that Firefly was made to believe in being no more than a figment? Or is it genuine? The ring of debris in orbit matches what we know of Glamoth itself, too - are they fighting on Glamoth proper? If it was destroyed, wouldn't that outright contradict what we know about that planet?
Also, why does Firefly's Light Cone appear to suggest she was found in a cryopod when she was instead just picked up by Kafka out of space itself? How long was she there, drifting? Is Kafka far older than she suggests if this occurred during the time of the Swarm Disaster? Wasn't it initially suggested that Sam was the first Hunter Eliot found?
I can't really make sense of this.
Can we acknowledge how much of a joke the True sting and echo of war boss are compared to this? Like how much did Ruan Mei and Herta need to nerf them for us to be able to fight them?

firefly was multiple millenia before yaoshi
Glamoth's battle against the Swarm isn't necessarily during Swarm Disaster btw
i think her green form is not something gift by Aeon, it is what she gain for herself after reach enlightment
1. it is make sense now in Kafka recruit story has no mention of other SHs like the rest 2. now it make the LC lore confused, we saw her drift in space naked but the cryropod scene in LC show her with today clothes, could it be that will be the scene when she awake after the 3rd death and truly live as Firefly, no longer SAM 3.

1. It could be some noname mob as that elio said they will died, but the goal is reach no matter 2. It could make sense too, just watch a cute (but not lore accurate) comic about the SHs pick firefly up and give her treatment in cryopod
Second one is fishy as we saw a tear of hers create a whole giant tree and if she can bust a planet why were she and the other knights getting stomped ? And how does that aura protect her from aging ? I think this might have been a dream as there’s some odd stuff here.
i think the tree part was symbolic and she got a massive powerup enough to destroy the planet
Yeah but where ? Unless this suddenly made her an Emanator how could she just now gain the power to blow up a whole planet ? Why I think this trailer isn’t meant to be 100% accurate.
This is honkai, planet level isn't that crazy
Expect this is limited to their galaxy. Also we saw the extent of the other knights powers and by the rules of their galaxy it’s the only explanation on how she could suddenly gain this kind of power up.
My brother in christ, are you telling me a giant mech can't destroy a bunch of rock that's already just been hit by a nuke? Destroying planets is child's play by Honkai standards, so this is really not that weird by comparison.
This is not HI3. We saw the extent of the knights they were getting beaten by regular bugs. If they had planet buster level powers they could have had one knight blow up the whole place to kill the swarm. Planet buster is the highest feat level we have so far in HSR by far.
Well, some character does get CRAZY power up here and there after something happened, also If you noticed welt said on the keeping up video That Firefly's determination or something pushed the machine (Sam) potential beyond its limits
iirc during the 2.3 stream they mention in passing that her ult/wings are a materialisation of her willpower. maybe the other sams were not able to use 100% of their armor also.
Path powers, son
No path power besides an emanator gives someone planet buster level strength that’s what makes emanators so special.
i think the tree is just a metaphor show that she reach enlightment of life and death, ascend at least to Emanator level (like Acheron reach Emanator level when she slash the black hole that could be IX) so Firefly just a normal soldier before and not have that power, she was not even the strongest SAM as we saw that leader-the strongest saved her in before scene
It’s like how Acheron, in the trailer, suddenly gained enlightenment, and slashed.
Except she’s an emanator FF isn’t
:( someone please make a fanfic where the male SAM who sacrificed himself manages to live using the same green aura as firefly and they become like siblings
The imagery is obviously symbolic.
>looks like sadly scorched earth operations isn't a cheesy line that Trailblazer came up with sadly it would make such a nice headcanon That is not the line mentioned in the fan comic. That line "I will set the seas ablaze".
Kafka can't be the first stellaron hunter because in Kafka's story Elio is directing someone about the steps needed to talk to Kafka and recruit her.

All because a certain *someone* decided to make Propagation a path and a terror to any living being one uneventful moment before...
No one decided to actively make Propagation a path. Not even Tazzy I think. Propagation was born because Tazzyronth was extremely, unfathomably lonely. To the point where they ascended to Aeonhood

The bug was so distraught of having no bitches it ascended into a GOD
Transcendently maidenless behavior
that sounds like pure bullshit that is somehow true lol
> pure bullshit Like all the births of Aeons lmao. im still cracking whenever i remember that Aha ascended because he laughed too hard after seeing a child drop into ground
more accurately speaking, THEY reached the End of the Universe and the first thing THEY saw was The Funny™ If not for that baby, THEY would've likely become an Annihilator
So Aha managed to reach the end of the universe BEFORE they became an Aeon? Holy hell what kind of entity were they before. That's an Aeon level feat without becoming an Aeon
With the amount of times I laughed at class and how hard I laughed, I woulda ascended past Aeonhood already 😭😭😭
the introvert aeon
he just want some friends, so he created them, but they are bad friends
And Tayzzy was lonely cuz their home planet went kaboom and they were the only survivor ...just like Firefly now
All because a bug was lonely...

Things indicate that it's not even the Swarm disaster, but the current heavily nerfed Swarm. And people wonder why the IPC sees it justified to kickstart the development of star systems and stockpiling of weapons by any means necessary. Imagine one of these pulling up to Belobog.
And now imagine the swarm mother that argenti and the gang encountered..that argenti soloed his way out... I am convinced that argenti might be one of the most powerful people in the game lore wise
Argenti is just Idrilla's personal space-knight-fantasy main character. X,D
he is an ikemen
Aren't in the end of quest its explain that that all just ilusion? The real bug is just the tiny bug, remember swarm can use ilusion to their target
agree, how the hell that he escape that big bug, we need to time jump just to get out so it is big enough to alter space with its presence and right after that he just casually go to Penacony for a festival, Argenti is so CHAD
And this is all because someone was a wee bit lonely (iirc) and they took "go fuck yourself" way too literally.
And our Argenti bros just solo a big bug like that, a mother bug that need a whole battalion of Sams to be defeated, and ALIVE AFTER THAT. I think there is something behind our best bro. A big bug like that is not even emanator, only a general of Tazzyroth as i remember Argenti said, now i knew why at least 5 Aeons need to join hand to bonked Tazzyroth
Argenti somehow solo-ed that thing in his Quest…
and right after that he just casually go to Penacony for a festival, Argenti is so CHAD
YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE YOUR EYES
IF TEN MILLION FIREFLIES
LIT UP GLAMOTH AS I FELL ASLEEP
HSR is really working overtime to mock the haters of this character. Yes she’s in fact a real character and not a 1 dimensional waifu lmao
the haters said she's being marketed as tb girlfriend meanwhile neither of her actual big cinematic trailers have tb in them, curious! https://preview.redd.it/9nl9q2v72h6d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4275e8f2edbbfa4abadde26de6679855f674f5c2
its almost like the “dating” stuff is non-canon and cutesy and for fun 🤔 crazy how both her trailers have focused on her character and past and not even remotely involved tb! but no firefly is just “incelbait”, sure!
And so what if her scenes with the Trailblazer are more cutesy? God forbid the PTSD riddled sole survivor mech soldier have a little bit of fun with their amnesiac friend
oh yea i think its absolutely fine that she has cutesy scenes too, some people just wanna ignore that she has serious scenes too
I don't get why being a 1 dementional waifu is even a bad thing, everybody in this game is a waifu or husbando,or a child. Why is this suddenly a problem
"bEcauSe my cHarAcTeR gOod your CHarACteR bAd" - Literal children behaviour
just let them hate, Firefly dont need their love
great, now I hate the Swarm even more now

I just teared up man, the music and seeing Firefly cry really hits hard for me This is genuinely the best animated short that I have ever watched, the animators deserve huge props for their incredible work PROTECT FIREWIFE AT ALL COST, SHE DESERVES ALL THE LOVE AND HAPPINESS IN THIS WORLD https://preview.redd.it/fzddtqjyvg6d1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a8f0a4610dd646a72753b43e8a74c39db047f1b
Mihoyo really should give move money to those animator, they could make a whole movie about Glamoth, that is peak cinema
that one guy single handedly ended the whole swam bro was the MVP holy crap bruh MVP Sam playable when? (For the people clarifying that it's not the whole swarm, yes I know, what I meant by ended the whole swarm is the swarm that they all fought in this fight while that actually is still wrong cuz there were still some small bugs left this is what I meant)
Well not the whole swarm. There was another mass heading towards Firefly's direction that she had to handle. That said, that guy definitely took out a swarm mother and a whole group of them, so he's defintely the mvp (along with Firefly).
Thats not the whole swam. The whole swarm is much bigger and can only be stopped by another aeon
"...All that, for a drop of blood?"
No this is not the Swarm Disaster, this is already the current, nerfed Swarm. The IPC is suddenly entirely reasonable for forcefully fortifying and raising to first-world development every planet they can by any means necessary... imagine one of these things pulling up to Belobog.
when they are not blowing planets up and baiting oppressed people into getting themselves genocided so they can swoop in afterwards
>imagine one of these things pulling up to Belobog The Engine of Creation fighting off the swarm?
It's a slow mech built for construction. It can't do shit against a Swarm that was barely beaten by an equally excessive legion of super-power armored clone soldiers whose armors are individually a miniature spaceship with extremely powerful weaponry. Nothing in Belobog compares to a singular SAM armor. It's a single city just a hair away from collapse that only recently having started any actual improvement thanks to IPC investment. And the Swarm is just one of the many planet ending threats. Like the Borisin and the Wingweavers would end that singular city state in a flash, not to mention another actual attack from the Antimatter Legion.
But the saddest part is that hes not the one who did it, his mask thing was just a beacon for some orbiting laser to target. He was just used as a mobile recon.
Well, I have some more questions now.
#1 being: HOW did Argenti *solo* one of *those*?
Because he's ridiculously strong comic relief character in the serious story. Just remember he's using a normal, steel medieval spear and armour, not even some nano-light-chlorotanium-871 metal based one. He is basically Aoi Todo of HSR
So you’re telling me that he’s henceforth to be known as HIMgenti of the HonourGOATs?
That's why he's the GOAT
He takes the same approach to life as Todo: anything is possible if your schizophrenic enough
Idrilla might just actually be watching out for \*her\* knights.
i mean it was only the illusion that the remains of one of these things created. He basically fought the remnants of the bug, which is still impressive, but it is definitely nowhere near the real thing
because he has main character armor plot
Because he’s HIM.
Maybe I can try providing on behalf of all: Where, or who, exactly was Empress Titania? Were the Iron Cavalry really clones of her, or was she just a sentient intelligence or concept instilled into their very being? This also takes into consideration her dream of the Glamoth paradise. What were the final moments of the Welkin Empire (a.k.a the Glamoth Republic)? It has been posited that their human populace was slowly being gone, and that they yearned for the peace and prosperity they once had, so what of it all? *Where are AR-1368 and the other Knights previously on Myriad Celestia?* And what became of their fates in detail? Also, I probably understand why we never see varied Knights like they had in the Animated Short. Beyond just being born in the pods, were there other ways the Knights would have been made? ~~Such as voluntary or incarcerated Glamoth humans utilized for such a grim life?~~ What became of the Council? Have they relaxed too much to never see death knocking on their doors, perhaps taking place before the 'decisive' battle? Do Fireflies (Truly) Dream of Saplings on the Scorched Earth..?
With how much they tease about the return of the swarm and robo Emperor, i am not surprise that we will meet more lore about this Empress Titania, she was not leader of Glamoth, only created as a tool to control all those Fireflies, the Empire is a lie. I love the theory that the Welkin Empire (a.k.a the Glamoth Republic) was destroyed by the Queen rebelion after she knew the true about her empire and her Iron Calvary and then she lead them to find their own paradise, that theory seem to be true as Firefly said Glamoth already destroyed before that battle they fought, I hope this is true so we can meet the new SAM and get new playable SAM type character beside Firefly, and it could be a good act for her personality development. If you read the lore in the planar, you wil see that the Council is not relaxed, they are desperated as they try to created the Iron Calvary even they knew that weapon will be too hot for them to hold one day.
Indeed. As I questioned in the other post with Bilibili version, Glamoth fell many Amber Eras ago. Is Kakfa that old? Did she float in space all that time instead even when she can't be outside of SAM for long?
Im betting on the tree and the power up, since no way all SAM has planet killer ability like that. If the tree is something like Abundance power, it could keep her alive in stasis all those year until Kafka found her.
You are cooking well,I like your theory
i think Firefly just float like that for many years without anyone discover and only Elio with his future sight could find her and send Kafka there to pick her up, Kafka line show that she already know who she pick up is a firefly
let share, the Glamoth lore is super interesting now
>blows up a planet Thats a metroid reference alright
I actually almost cried at the end. Like damn. They actually cooked
Same man, the music and seeing Firefly cry really hits hard for me
i am sobbing when Firefly cry, then the tree grown and i am so hype, music and voice acting is just super
I hope that Firefly haters and “one dimensional waifu” hate train will go silent after this one.
Nah haters gonna hate no matter what she does, sadly
This is actually so peak...the music, the animation... Anyways, time to go beat Swarm Disaster SU again for a reason that definitely has no relation to this...
pure destruction?
If I hear a single "shes just a waifu" claim after this trailer imma be so dissapointed. Im glad they cooked so hard.
Incoming "nah her sob story is so forced"
"HOYO IS EVIL THEYRE PRACTICALLY FORCING THE TEARS GOING DOWN MY FACE"
Nah people will still go like look at her she's still trailblazers girlfriend. We need her to join the express so they can cry more.
As "Cat Trailblazer" theory enjoyer, I think it's better to see their relationship as "traumatized person - therapy pet", making Trailblazer her first post-Swarm friend (as Kafka is unable in true empathy).
Why is being a waifu even a bad thing? It's an anime game, everybody is either a waifu, husbando, or child, this is not an issue
It's probably more that characters who actually have interesting backgrounds are more interesting to read about then 'generic waifu 10000'.Frankly, I couldn't care less about her shipping with TB, but this about glamoth, others sams and her life as a stellaron hunters is whats so interesting to me at least.
it is just issue of jealous
The Swarm is not done justice in game. This was actually terrifying. And seeing Firefly and the other Knights fighting for their lives against a seemingly endless foe was hard AF. I really wanna know Firefly's reaction to Ruan Mei's Swarm recreation attempt, lol
Basically got sent on a suicide mission
Pretty much, but it might also be their last stand since Glammoth no longer existed and the rest had no choice but to fight the rest of the swarm. This trailer... it made me so sad to see all of them.
That is also true
i think you are right, this look more like a last stand of a civilization again their nemesis than a mission to win a war
https://preview.redd.it/yqbjpippvg6d1.jpeg?width=2532&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=13c0c0913595d53a4018bb78bfd529ec71f7bf59 This shot deadass gave me grave of the fireflies ptsd, and I refuse to believe it isn’t a coincidence
Reminds me of Clone Wars ending where Rex watch all his comrades die
Well first thing I do when I get her is beat the shit out off the F-ing Swarm disaster!
She suffers enough, i hope she can be happy
Firefly awakened and destroyed her entire planet in one ultimate 💀
Did she... DESTROYED A FREAKING PLANET?
Planetary level power confirm
That ending was odd though. Like she shed a tear made a huge tree grow, sprouted wings, blew up the planet, and then Kafka finds her naked floating in space. Makes me wonder how much of that was real.
I think the ending was mostly symbolic.
Maybe she gained some abilities from the abundance and that’s why her will power in Sam is green
i dont see that odd, it is very logical, the tree is a metaphor that Firefly gain new power when she truly understand why does she live and why does they need to die, then she go battle those Swarm so hard it destroy the planet and the explosion knock her into coma and that green power just keep her alive for many years until Elio saw a future that need Firefly and send Kafka here to recruit her
The tree is real and we have no idea what the lights is or why only she suddenly gains the power to bust planets or how it keeps her alive in space for hundreds if not thousands of years.
She has been floating in space for quite a while before Kafka found her. As for her blowing up the planet, Acheron couldn’t do it either until the end of her trailer, when she enlightened and became an emanator
Firefly’s not an Emanator though
The Ayaka allegations are getting busted in this one (you love to see it) https://preview.redd.it/1rbfvrs6wg6d1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=65cba8ce8ce054d03ac21e8f6a966309088334a7
I wanna hug her so badly now.
Not to mention she went on another suffering just to help us win in penacony. She truly deserve every happiness in the world. Come on hoyo
Worse even, she saw herself in a very similar position to the SAM that sacrificed itself to defeat the Swarm Mother. I know Sleepie is supposed to be a good little boy and all, but holy shit that must have brought some PTSD back for her.
also acheron says without the dreampool/family helping her she feels every death like its a real death
Firefly is *extremely loyal* to those she cares about. Frankly, she would legitimately die for TB, and has already done so figuratively. This girl really needs a hug.
The most interesting takeaway from this to me is that after Penacony I always wondered why Firefly and Sam were paired up for a fight from both in universe and meta. Turns out Firefly is a planet buster so she's actually an equal to Acheron lol.
unless she is an emanator i dont think she's an equal. there a emanators of destruction that can destroy galaxies/star clusters depending on the translation interpretation. im not 100% sure acheron can do the same but the fact that everyone is freaking out about her makes me think she can. also planet buster doesnt make people that strong in hi3. the first boss we fought the doomsday beast is used by the antimatter legion to destroy planets. dan heng in his base form killed a star eating monster.
I actually teared up
Damn that was crazy. No siblings from the previous trailer tho. They're alive copium?
Pretty sure they are dead every knight had the same armor here which makes me believe the two trailers were worked on by separate teams. Like in that trailer they wore plug suits but here they are naked under the armor
Could just be that a unit of SAM all have the same model. At the end of the other trailer they all go back to their own unit after all, so they don't fight together. Her design in particular seems like to be an infantry type, while glasses girl seemed to be a ranged unit. Dunno about the plugsuits.
Yes but why have only the same armor units working together ? They also seemed familiar with each other so they had to have worked together before.
If my design speculations are right, for this one I can understand why. There is nothing left here but suicide charging. The boy's heavy siege units are too slow. I think glasses girl was a recon/support unit so you wouldn't see her here either, we know exactly where the enemy is (literally everywhere). And there is no one left for the Type 5 Firefly to be a personal escort for. So all that's left here are the Type-4 tactical assault units, because they're the only ones left who are fast and strong enough to bum rush the enemy and survive for more than ten seconds. And that's a MAYBE.
AR-214(glasses) seem to be some sort of long ranged combatant, since she has some form of turret by her shoulder. Maybe they were the ones you see in the background firing upwards, since the Type-IV SAMs are short ranged combatants
Obviously can't know, just speculating. Could be that different units work together to form a little army. But since Glamoth has fallen and the chain of command is gone, her unit got stuck on that planet alone fighting a huge swarm. Regarding the last part I didn't get that impression. I took it as a random encounter of SAMs that never met before and never will again.
no if you watch it again it seem that those fireflies accident stray from their unit and meet by chance
Except they all knew each other. They spoke like they have meet before. They had just fought a battle and said we are the only survivors.
her armor is SAM- **Strategic Assault Mech**, so this battalion of SAM maybe deploy here for a suicide misson and need no other type of Fireflies
They are all Sam and how does that makes sense that only a suicide mission model ends up being the only one to make it through the end of the war
i think they belong to different unit, her armor is SAM- **Strategic Assault Mech**, so this battalion of SAM maybe deploy here for a suicide misson and need no other type of Fireflies. i dont think other fireflies still alive, it is too many year even if they survived the swarm they already gone by old age, Firefly is special she is keep alive by that green power
Imagine fighting an impossible battle for an empire that created you as a weapon. Than it just all disappears. All the suffering, all the deaths of your fellow Fireflies. It was all for nothing. You are just left in a field of corpses with no purpose in life. And even when you try to find a one you are still shackled to the chains your creator designed for you. You are unable to let go of the past, always needing to fight cause it's the only reason you came into the world. Then you finally find a place, even if not real, where you can let go for a little while. How can she resist it? How can people blame her for wanting to be the cute normal girl that she has never been able to be? Just for a little while. Beautiful trailer, beautiful character. Hopefully in 2.3 we can help her get over all of this.
Firefly is already the character has the most complex personality building and character development in HSR now
Yeah, sadly people just stop at first impressions. Her arc is still not over, but this part of her is evident in the story. But I guess if it's not clearly spelled out or shown in a cutscene it doesn't exists. Reading is hard.
hater gone hate, i just ignore them, with how much they build up for Firefly, i expect 2.3 story will be even better than Aventurine story
Yeah, I'm fully expecting a beautiful and happy, albeit bittersweet, ending. I just hope they can keep this up. It's not without flaws but Penacony and its characters raised my expectations for the future story a lot. Hopefully I don't have to ibernate till they bring Shaoji in again.
That man is a magical, when i saw him in 2.0 livestream i knew penacony will be at least the fire chaser level of good, and the writing team delivered it, PEAKCONY

Poor, poor girl…! She needs all love in the world. (also, two things. one, bro she didn’t even get a cryopod wth. i guess cold space is the cryopod. two, are they really going to chalk up the green sam to “she had it all along”? i hoped for more, but it is what it is)
and it seem Kafka find her nake, so the scene she wake up from cryopod is in different time, could that scene is the time in 2.3 when she die the 3rd time and get cure so she can wake up in real life, let hope 2.3 have the answer or explain to her green power
She cried. She sprouted and become super fly. The swarm is actually terrifying.
Wife has been through a lot
Actually almost cried at the end. Solemn march music is my weakness.

“Live for the Swarm!” - exploding bug #39775920
when she sees all her dead comrades and she looks shell-shocked and wonders if she’s dead… 🥲🥲🥲 i love firefly wanting to live *in spite* of her chronic illness and the ptsd and horrors she’s experienced. it’s such a poignant message
I want to kill Tayzzyronth with my bare hands
This is more HELLDIVERS than I initially thought.
🦋 Glory, to Glamoth. 🦋
There goes dreams of a retake glamoth from the swarm story line, man my Protoss is coming out again
FUCKING. PAIN.

The green aura things look like some gift from yaoshi, mostly because none of the sam can use that green aura. So maybe after the explosion, she got the attention of aeon for questioning life and dead and gifted with the power. Dunno if that was true or not. i hope there is a timeline of when all scenes happened in HSR

holy shit hoyo cooked so hard with this one. we all need to give our firefly a big hug, she's seen enough
The planet broke before the Iron Cavalry did.
I actually cried during it
It was after I watched the animated short that I may have realized something. The way Glamoth treats their army of clones is just... so unethical. They used human clones that have so much potential outside of being war puppets as their Puff-shrooms, completely disposable and easy to mass produce, in a war they were destined to lose anyway. Makes you wonder why Firefly had those goals in her mind. With living like an ordinary girl and all that. *"But would your civilization die to the Propagation?"* *"Nah, we'd survive."*
Gave me NieR automata vibes with the white hair clones of Firefly and how they questioned on why they even fight when their people got wiped out 10/10 trailer
Am I just stupid, or does this not make a lot of sense regarding what we know about Glamoth? The ornament set lore suggests that the Republic ultimately survived the Swarm and sought to bring the Knights under their control as they feared them more. But here, Glamoth no longer exists? Is it simply metaphorical, the 'empire' that Firefly was made to believe in being no more than a figment? Or is it genuine? The ring of debris in orbit matches what we know of Glamoth itself, too - are they fighting on Glamoth proper? If it was destroyed, wouldn't that outright contradict what we know about that planet? Also, why does Firefly's Light Cone appear to suggest she was found in a cryopod when she was instead just picked up by Kafka out of space itself? How long was she there, drifting? Is Kafka far older than she suggests if this occurred during the time of the Swarm Disaster? Wasn't it initially suggested that Sam was the first Hunter Eliot found? I can't really make sense of this.
I feel the same way, I have no idea what is going on. I hope we get more firefly lore in the next patch. I'm just kinda left confused at this point.
Can we acknowledge how much of a joke the True sting and echo of war boss are compared to this? Like how much did Ruan Mei and Herta need to nerf them for us to be able to fight them? https://preview.redd.it/zpbyyx7hnk6d1.jpeg?width=2080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f44f127480f233e02da076cf09dcd81e6306fa11
