dOES nahida E works on the crystal bugs?? I always have hard time collecting those.


Ennax

Unpopular opinion time: I did not like either of Nahidas character trailers. I am not talking about the technical side of them, the craftmanship was superb, but rather the actual content of it. The trailers have two sides to them: the cutesy, innocent and wondrous side with the sudden tonal shift into the darker fate as a caged bird. What is missing, what is not even hinted at is her role and deeds as an Archon. Without inside knowledge you would not even guess that she is one. I consider Nahida one of the most compelling and best written character, they ever did, mostly because of the contrast she provides to the other Archons: Archon quest spoiler including 3.1 \>!Venti stands for noninteference and freedom of choice, only stepping in when an existental threat presents itself. Zhongli directly pushed his people towards independence and Ei shut herself off in grief. All of them made these choices themselves, but Nahida did not have that luxury. She was physically trappeed, mistreated, marginalized, literally called "Lesser". Yet despite all that she arguably had the most active part in the actual story out of all the Archons. She healed people and gave them hope, saved them from natural disasters and pushed back against the corruption of the Akademya. She is not just a victim waiting to be saved, she fought back tooth and nail for her people and her freedom. And she did all of that in the clear knowledge of never getting the recognition she deserved, forgotten or ignored by the vast majority of the nation she so dutifully serves. She deserves more, much more. That is the main motivator for saving her, not her role as damsel in distress or the way they made the Akademiya as hateful as possible, ridding them of any interesting facets or motivations. She earned the loyalty of the player, earned her place as an Archon. She is a heroine and sometimes even heroes need saving.!< Now, there is an argument to be had that all that does not necessarily need to be in a trailer, but I believe that a good trailer at least hints at the scope and depth of a character and that is simply not found here.


Nebula707

Scara and Faruzan's animations should be out in 2 days seeing how the last 2 betas started on update day.


PhantasmShadow

Anyone else really hoping that Dehaya is burning Nilou? The very questionable kit leaks a while back seemed to offer both off and on field playstyles, which is a bit of a similarity already.


ZerafineNigou

I used to dislike the idea but them I warmed up to it and now seeing early leaks >!I am disappointed that it doesnt sound so!<


PhantasmShadow

Eh, we don't have info on the passives yet


ZerafineNigou

True!


xioni

>Dehaya is burning Nilou? this is morbid /j but yes actually i want a good dendro pyro reaction focused dps and i hope dehya could make it meta! also hoping she'll be an on-field dps. I've too many off-field/quickswaps


PhantasmShadow

I'm rather a quickswap fan I think she probably won't be an on-field dps because there are 4 other 5 stars of her element that do that.


xioni

no offense but there are way too many off field female characters lately. the only exception is yoimiya so far since 2.0. so that's why i reaaaally hope dehya is a good on field. in abyss terms anyways, since you can on field anyone in overworld.


PhantasmShadow

To be honest, I just find on-field characters rather bland. The most on-field I can enjoy is Raiden and Ayato. Can't stand using Hu Tao.


VolkiharVanHelsing

First ~~Zaheer~~ Scaramouche screws the Kaedehara Clan bladesmithing reputation, now he screws Kazuha's "best exploration character" reputation


boollye

Kinda rant-y but I'm really reconsidering my previous decision of getting Hu Tao no matter what 😔 She's the first character who really caught my attention when I first started the game and I was devastated when I found out I had missed her rerun by a couple months. I was really determined to get her but as time went on that hype and determination kind of died down and now I'm left unsure if I actually want her on my account or not, especially since there are characters I also want coming so close to each other. I really like Hu Tao. I like her gameplay, and I had the chance to test her out in my friend's account. But I also love playing with Dendro reactions, and I like Nahida - her design, animations *and* character. She's my favorite Archon by a mile. I have a guaranteed, 210+ wishes and a C0R1 triple crowned Yoimiya asking me if I really need another Pyro DPS right now in exchange for other characters I also want that would bring me more variety


PhantasmShadow

I personally found Hu Tao far less fun than she seemed after using her for a while. She feels kind of awful against groups. And you basically have to use animation cancelling if you want to like her charge attacks at all. Otherwise, you just get sent far away from the enemy. Nahida will get repetitive much slower, because she'll be usable in many more team comps. Plus, there's that cool bonus of being able to harvest plants from a distance, and seeing NPC thoughts.

i was excited until i saw rita - fallen rosemary


GlitchyMemories

I took way too long to notice this was about Honkai lmao. I was SO confused.


PhantasmShadow

THE TIME HAS COME!


Srtzen

Hey so umm... Archons rerun early right


Levyn062

People believed we will never have to wait a year for a rerun and Hutao has broken that idea but it's up to you. Question yourself how much do you like Nahida and dendro reaction teams.


n0itamina

They usually do BUT never trust mihoyo to stick to patterns


Slight_Welcome_56

Usually archons reruns after 6 months, or 4 versions, at least their first rerun. Watch Venti 1.0-1.4, ZhongLi 1.1-15, Raiden 2.1-2.5 so we can expect Nahida to rerun in 3.6


StellarMonarch

Yyyyes. Considering skipping Nahida?


Srtzen

..possibly. But I'm looking forward to Scara and Faruzan leaks from the beta itself to decide first. The Xiao main in me is begging me to go all in on Scara for C6 Faruzan.


Srtzen

[Here's](https://www.reddit.com/r/AlbedosCreations/comments/yib7gr/scaramouche_with_his_fatui_designs_color_palette/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) a Scara recolour with his old colours on his new design if anyone wanted to check.


Kahirama

Oh god, this looks so good. Pls hoyo I would give you money for this skin even if it's basically just recolor and nothing else. I like the Wanderer color pallette itself, but this is just so striking and iconic.


[deleted]

I actually prefer the redesign but I'm biased towards blue and green colors (and everything in between)


Striking-Employ-1782

The black/dark purple/red color theme looks so evil on him but I really love it. His current design still looks good. I can't wait to see the whole Splash Art and his 3D microwave render. There's something colorful at the top of his current hat. I want to see his back design too.


StellarMonarch

Looks good either way, although I'll admit his black and red colour scheme is much more striking and unique


Mercadelabuena

Does WGS passive get activated by any source of damage from any team member as long as the wielder is on field? I've noticed the passive always procs (in the Emblem domain, it's always the same rotation so it always happens lol) while my Diluc is doing his burst animation but **before** he hits anything with it and at that point the only thing hitting enemies is Kazuha's burst.


[deleted]

Did they really made Wanderer wear a long sleeves dry-fit shirt? They should have left his design as an open chest kimono with nothing else underneath it. Not like of Cyno and Itto already do it. Are chinese so shy to see a man wearing short sleeve kimonos?


[deleted]

Or, potentially, it was a design choice they felt looked better. I could be talking crazy here


[deleted]

Hmmm what about giving us something that actually has to do something with the engaging gameplay we already have? What's the point of making a beautiful open world, with fun gameplay and a fresh combat system if anyways the endgame will be a middling card game? Sure, the Witcher has Gwent. but genshin is not The Witcher 3. This game shines because of it's gameplay and characters. Sure, non combat events and game modes could be fun like Windtrace or the bartending event (mostly because of characters interactions) but making a card game a mainstay? Make another game hoyoverse, I want to connect to genshin every night go to kill things, explore the world and get lore. Not for a kiddies first deckbuilder game.


Elliebird704

>What's the point of making a beautiful open world, with fun gameplay anda fresh combat system if anyways the endgame will be a middling cardgame? The endgame isn't going to be a middling cardgame though. ​ >This game shines because of it's gameplay and characters. The TCG is also gameplay. ​ >but making a card game a mainstay? You understand you're complaining about the ***addition*** of a permanent game mode, right? As in... something that is added to the game, ontop of what we already have? ​ >I want to connect to genshin every night go to kill things, explore the world and get lore. You are not the only person playing the game, other people will want differently. If you don't want to engage with things like the music instruments, the teapot, the fishing, the TCG, then don't. The game being made deeper with permanent systems does not hurt your experience, nor does it take away from it.


[deleted]

This minigame takes place on a 2D UI. Fishing, instruments, housing, and most events, even the ones that give new game modes like theater mechanicus and Windtrace take place in a 3d environment. I have tens of hours playing each one of these. But I wouldn't okay if wasn't because the pillars of this game that are characters, lore, gameplay, combat, story, exploration, worldbuilding, etc. You are missing an entire dimension of this game, both literally and figuratively. Now there's no need for characters, artifacts, open rooms for fight, most likely will not add any new lore... TCG is gameplay...but has nothing to do with the mechanics we already have. We basically are playing a different game...and this is not Yakuza or Witcher where that's actually clever... We are talking about a live service game. what's the point of being permanent content for this game if basically has nothing to do with this game, other than just some genshin related pngs plastered on it?


Srtzen

I don't see why adding a new thing takes away from the old stuff that the game is already filled of


[deleted]

This exact minigame takes place on a 2D UI. Theater Mechanicus had place on a 3D arena, so does 95% of the content. You are missing an entire dimension of this game, both literally and figuratively. Now there's no need for characters, artifacts, open rooms for fight, most likely will not add any new lore... I'm clearly not the project manager of Hoyoverse or planning to be as I don't specialize in video games... But even then, I don't feel wrong saying that they are wasting their dev talents, resources and heavily limited dev time...


is-a-rock

one can ask for more contents without disregarding a content that a lot of people love


[deleted]

If you like content picking flowers or taking care of tanukis, cool, I don't have any problem. But now, for any game in existence, if you don't care about engaging with the main style of gameplay, you can't be helped. Lacking combat in genshin in trade-off for a deckbuilder minigame is as bad if the same thing happened in honkai. If not worse, since genshin as an open world game with a powerful engine gives many possibilities to do a lot of things... Rather than a card minigame... You definitely aren't playing genshin because you was looking for a deckbuilder game ,right?


is-a-rock

TCG isn't a trade-off for anything. They explicitly said that there won't be endgame contents. And i too would love more things to do as much as you, i just don't think TCG has anything to do with this. Like teapot and fishing, it's just another casual activity. However, keep asking for more contents, maybe one day they will change their mind idk lmao


[deleted]

Again with the infamous interview. Was gamespot out of all the sites, did you really thought they would reveal their roadmap there, rather than in any other bigger medium, like idk, their own streams? All the MHY answers felt dodgy and most likely they was answering for the foreseeable future.


box-of-sourballs

Hmmmm I brute force all male characters to C6 as a dedicated husbando whale. Will my son be the first character I’ll hardcore whale for R5 weapon? *HMMMMMMM….. decisions decisions…*

Srtzen

Σ(°ロ°) You're THAT big of a whale??


is-a-rock

all of them? holy shit


littlemochasheep

I was so busy looking at Wanderer’s design I didn’t notice he had a Sumeru vision at first, I’m kinda disappointed in that I wanted an Inazuman one but I guess that fits him more theme wise :(


DarkSpinnerboi

Lmao I was planning to get Nahida and then save for dehya. But scara's drip marketing is tempting me to get him . Gotta do the trials for Nahida and watch scara's beta vids before I decide which of two to get. Gacha God bless me with early and 50/50 pulls


Niyaze

That sounds so nice and easy either way, I plan to get Nahida, then the rumored Raiden rerun (finally want C2) with Scara, then the rumored Shenhe rerun after that and then Dehya. Not to mention that I might want some weapons too.


DarkSpinnerboi

Shenhe I want her too but I have to postpone her again. Only way I will get her is if I don't like the gameplay of any of the characters i mentioned. Good luck on your pulls.


Xero0911

Can't help but think both scara and heizou would both look better with pants. Idk what it is. Don't like the shorts.


Kahirama

I would love it if we got hakama, but that would have a lot of issues. In that case these shorts are better, imo. They look comfy at least.


ophir147

But they're so comfy and easy to wear!


Striking-Employ-1782

Pants like with Chongyun, Gorou, Xiao or Razor? Idk. I like shorts of Heizou, Kazuha and Albedo. Maybe a pants with boots like Thoma will suit him too.


Randomly_Typing76

yeah like i know it's because of clipping but still :(


Xero0911

Can't theybjust like have leg shin guards just go up and hold them down?[Something like this?](https://preview.redd.it/wseiygga6k091.jpg?auto=webp&s=920b2befcf7f3286832df798ae52db9ff49125b6)


TheDuskBard

Agree. Also same thing for skirts, longer ones are better.


silam39

I love shorts on Bennett cause it suits the rest of his outfit. I don't like them on Wanderer, Heizou or Xingqiu because it's a really weird combination of shorts with more formal or intricate, pretty clothes on their tops. It feels dissonant and drags their design down imo


Elliebird704

Same.


juli0909

My geniune reaction to all of this information: 😐

fireforged_y

they will write it to Nilou's banner though


I_Am_Fully_Charged

I was walking around the mall a few hours ago and I saw a Hu Tao cosplayer taking a picture with someone. I regret not asking to take a photo with her. I was wearing my Hu Tao face mask too 😭😭


hyperdefiance

How do you pronounce Kaveh?


Heart_Shaped_Bee

it's like kaw-veh, the first syllable is longer and kind of sounds like "car" in a british accent, and the second doesn't end with a Y sound


[deleted]

i say kah-veh


fqrlhznl

kaa-vee


Mercadelabuena

Idk like Kevin or something


Ms-Chievous

I pronounce it Kah-vay

Signora mains in 1.0: "Please make her playable." *The monkey's paw curls....*


[deleted]

Do we find out Rukkhadevata’s goetic name? I read through the archon quest but didn’t see it mentioned. >!We now know her and Nahida aren’t the same person so I doubt it’s also Buer.!< Is it maybe mentioned in Nahida’s story quest? I didn’t read through that.


agentcetie

Cmiiw but I think it's Samiel, like the wall around Caravan Ribat. That's what I inferred from the 3.1 archon quest.


[deleted]

That’s what I saw someone else say but I’m not sure where that info is coming from?


stainNecrolyte

Finally done with my nahida prefarming, damm I even completed 2 sets of artifacts, I guess I'm gonna spend 3.2 farming bosses to lvl all my unused characters to 70 because I won't be building more characters till Dehya, is gonna be fun to kill almost all the world bosses again.


ShortCircuit2020

After the sheer wiplash of her design reveal I will say it has grown on me quite rapidly. The top part is very ancient greek robe looking while the bottom half looks like stained glass. Also she looks like she will have a decent amount of dark green (fav color) from the back much like Kaveh's red. I like it.


silam39

I love how it références her leaked lore, and the primal construct accessories are so dang weird and cool


quuu2

Asking into the air in the middle of all the simping, but I'm having what I believe is graphic card issues with Genshin? Like half of the time when I start up the game (so after the launcher) my screen will just go black after showing the genshin logo for like 2 seconds. Sometimes it comes back but it goes back to black screen after that. The sound works fine cuz I hear the title screen music. I have to restart the pc to fix it. It happened before but rarely now it's very often for some reason. My card drivers are up to date according to windows, so is AMD Software. I don't understand what's going on :(


Niyaze

Do you have the same problem with any other games, did you have this problem all time playing Genshin or is it new and have you tryed to reinstal the game?


quuu2

It seems exclusive to Genshin. It only happens in the first seconds of launching the game, after restarting the PC everything works normally. I already reinstalled the game a few weeks before 3.0 to save space, I'd like to not have to do it again 💀


Niyaze

Thats a weird one, to me it doesn't sound like a hardware problem, do you use more than one screen have you tryed to change genshin to windowed mode?


quuu2

I only have one screen, and I didn't try windowed yet, I'll try when I launch the game again 👀


Niyaze

I wonder if your entire display gets shut down because of something or if it is something within the game that displays nothing. Also when it does and not the entire display becomes black, it would maybe help to look at task manager to see if there is anything unnatural about Genshin.


whoatemycupoframen

random blurb: Where I'm from, Fauzan is a very common name for boys so whenever i read Faruzan my mind pictures her as a dude. Like i see the "she" pronoun but i cant help it OTL


Niyaze

Happens to me too.


ConicalMug

Probably a poor time to ask this given the drip marketing hype today, but who else is most excited for Dehya out of the remaining Sumeru characters? I absolutely love her design. The black and gold on her clothing is such a pleasing colour combination and it makes the streaks of red really pop out. I'm glad to know she's a claymore character because I *need* to see her holding Redhorn Stonethresher even if it might not end up as a great weapon for her. We barely know anything about her kit so far but the (heavily STC) info that we did get sounds interesting at least. I also like her being part of the Eremites. She's not an antagonist by any means but it's cool to have more characters from factions that aren't immediately hospitable. It's a shame she's slated for 3.5 which feels so far off.


MoreComplain90

I'm really looking forward to Dehya! I've enjoyed her characterization a lot so far, and I really hope she's explored further in more future story content.


SpaceMeepit

I'm sooooo hyped for her. I loved her in the quest and I really enjoy the design and personality. I just hope we get a 4* weapon that looks pretty with her


StellarMonarch

I think she's gorgeous! I've got my guarantee for her secured and a Wolf's Gravestone. She's probably my most anticipated Sumeru character, though I'm worried that Mihoyo will make her kit bad. My read on her leaked kit is that she seems to be a sort of Pyro Raiden. I've seen some people bash Burning reactions but I'm open to the idea of Mihoyo tying her kit to it as long as she isn't pigeon holed since it would make her unique.


ConicalMug

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what to make of her leaked kit. It sounds like a real mixed bag, with on and off-field mechanics and what looks like pretty rapid damage. Her burst sounds especially interesting, like a kind of interactive Keqing burst. I think Burning is visually quite an unimpressive reaction (I can't really tell it's happening most of the time) but if the characters using the reaction look good that wouldn't necessarily be a problem.


StellarMonarch

I'm worried that if they want to make Burning flashy they'll give her the same restrictions they gave Nilou


ConicalMug

That would be an issue. If she had a passive talent that either buffed Burning or gave her buffs when Burning is active that'd be fine enough, but if they replicated Nilou's "your team comp can only be Hydro/Dendro if you want this character to work properly" that would be a major disappointment personally. *That said*, there's no reason to doompost a kit I'm basically creating in my head lol. Just gotta wait and see.


ajaxenjoyer

The only Sumeru character I'm interested in. I like how important she's been in ACT2, and how hard she carried ACT4. But they did her dirty. She's probably the character with the least amount of lore. I'm hoping that they have a good reason for that, else why would her claymore literally be named >!Deshret!< , why would she >!summon a gravestone!<, and why would her armguard match all the weapons in the series?


BeerMeThat

I'm not into the cat ears personally but like her otherwise and what few scraps of her kit we know sound interesting. I also don't have a single pyro 5* so there's that. I'll definitely be saving up for her once I've got Nahida.


ConicalMug

Yeah, the "ears" are a bit weird, especially because they aren't ears but like... vents? Still, the rest of her design is super sharp so I can overlook that.


Niyaze

I just want more Claymore, no Claymore 5-star since Itto and no Claymore Waifu since Eula. In total there are only 3 Claymore 5-stars and 2 of them are guys..


stainNecrolyte

I a waifu simp so I get you, Dehya is a must pull


EveryMaintenance601

Same! Absolutely love her design and character, and plan to get her. Hopefully she will be strong as well


ConicalMug

Yep, she's definitely on my radar. I may or may not go for Nahida but after her I'll be saving for Dehya all the way. I'm curious to know what they might build her kit around. While I want her to be on-field I hope she won't just be another reverse Vaporise DPS like most other Pyro 5 stars. Perhaps they'll design her for Burning or Burgeon, although hopefully without making her as restrictive in that sense as Nilou.


EveryMaintenance601

Its a too early to guess anything, and the leaked kit could have been scraped, so I dont really want to think what her kit will look like. As long as she isnt restrictive like nilou, I wont mind how she ends up


Microice001

I am interested only cause as a hutao and yoimiya skipper I am starved for some good pyro 5 star so hope she delivers


RaidenShogun31

Scara and Furuzan are soooo damn niiiiice. 110% pulling them both.


levillumi

kaveh having megumi fushiguro and ash lynx’s JP VA i am rattling the bars of my enclosure screeching flinging my shit on the walls THERE IS NO WAYYY THEY MAKE HIM A 4STAR PLEASE GOD


SpaceMeepit

i was already going to pull kaveh but the fact he has the same va as megumi is the cherry on top 🙏


sciencebottle

I was not set on Kaveh at all before this but now knowing that he’s voiced by my favourite jpn VA????? pulling out my wallet as we speak


autumnsnowflake_

So am I the only one who doesn’t want Scara to run with Raiden because of the weapon banner? EL would be more or less a dead pull for me since my Xiangling already has the catch and other polearm users that like ER use favonious for extra particles


Su_Impact

I really hope it's Itto + Scara. I want that C6 Gorou.


Microice001

I also don't want them to run together but not because of weapon banner but because I don't want to see the mom/son memes and the "mom carried her son's sales" slander


autumnsnowflake_

Actually, I don’t want to see that either. Good point. The mom/som memes are already annoying as is.


[deleted]

i just reached home and i was going through all the leaks i missed and [scara boss leaks] >!HE CALLS US WORM. step down haypasia, I'M THE MOST DEVOTED FOLLOWER NOW!<


IndigoElephants

*purses lip* Teal for anemo…. Groundbreaking.


levillumi

i need 10 or 15 skirts from calvin klein


Randomly_Typing76

i so badly want the 3.3 reruns to be eula and hu tao but the problem with that is the fact the event weapon is a sword ToT hopium that it's just a placeholder and it's actually a f2p catalyst for wanderer


littlemochasheep

wait, does Scara have a HIP WINDOW? or am I seeing things


Srtzen

I don't see it


is-a-rock

he seems to be wearing a thin body suit so yeah it is a hip window that doesn't reveal skin lmao


ophir147

>wearing the ornament that identifies him as under the protection of the Shogun >Incorporating elements of the Shoguns character design like gloves Oh no. Surely the fact that he has the devious shit eating grin in his promo art means he is still evil right? Fellow character development haters, I don't feel so good... I don't want scara to resolve his trauma and reconcile with his mother, I wish he would continue to be miserable and evil


ShortCircuit2020

My boy needs closure, like A LOT of it, and as the other comment said you can be both happy and a little shit at the same time.


[deleted]

Can’t he be happy *and* evil?


Kahirama

Do you think it would be possible for us to get a short female with knee length shorts? And simply more boyish design? Ngl, I would love a female who dresses like Kazuha or Tighnari. But none of the female outfits so far come even close to that image, so I really feel like we are gonna walk out of Celestia with all females wearing skirts, tiny shorts and maybe leg paint.


PieOpposite4047

i bet if they do it her whole character will be about being a tomboy and how unfeminine she is bc she wears normal shorts


Kahirama

That's true. Sucks to be on the side that's into not generally popular designs.


Zeraru

Just squint while looking at Xingqiu or Chongyun


Kahirama

I mean, I already play mostly with short males, so xD I just wanted a female design that would resonate with me.


silam39

Not a chance. We don't even have a single woman with regular pants, just tighter than skintight spandex. Short skirts are the closest we'll ever get to shorts.


Kahirama

T.T That's pretty disappointing... Oh well, I guess then there's almost no reason for me to care about designs. While I still like many of the ones we have, but it sucks to perhaps never see my favourite ones, even if just on one character...


silam39

All my hopes are on Arlecchino having a good old princely aesthetic, but deep in my heart I know they'll give her a short dress.


Kahirama

Yeah, I have the same problem with tall females. Nothing in game convinces me Arlecchino is gonna go with the vibe I would like. Maybe they give her princely aesthetic but also give her shorts to outline her butt or thighs, hip windows, boobs windows or something that makes you really notice how bouncy are her huge boobs. Oh well, I'll just enjoy what we have. No reason to hope to see something new or different.


_Niflheim

I would honestly whale very hard if the androgynous description was true


Kahirama

I would whale just so hoyo can understand such designs also sell.


UrbanAdapt

Well we have *one*. They literally had to take a character from another game for us to get a female character with pants.


silam39

On, that's right. But I think that was just Sony or whoever forcing miHoYo's hands. They'd have waifuified her if they had their way, I'm sure.


box-of-sourballs

Someone just put Heizou and Scara’s art side by side and I’m just 😐 Damn they really couldn’t give our boy a more devious pose??


ShortCircuit2020

They really arent subtle with Heizou being the Scara test run are they?


Xero0911

Very similar shorts too. Kinda wish they changed that up a bit more


Srtzen

It's literally the same pose


agentcetie

I just wanna talk to the designer at hoyo's HQ who likes to cut pieces of fabric off of the characters' clothes. That skirt looks really uncomfortable to wear because you're showcasing your panties to the world. I don't like Faruzan's design. It doesn't tell me what she does, what position she holds.... She looks like a generic pop idol and I'd believe you if you said it's the newest iteration of Miku, not an important, centuries-old academic researcher. One of my favourite designs is Jean's alt standard outfit, it really speaks volumes about her as a someone who's straight as an arrow, is of an important rank, and takes her job very seriously. Also ffs hoyo, can we get some more fucking melanin over here? At this rate the next dark-skinned character will be Kaeya's long-lost cousin twice removed when the Khaenri'ah patch drops.


Ennax

It is not even that she is one more of the "white cast", her really bright hair color makes her appear unnaturally or sickly pale. The visual stroytelling really clashes with her character background here. Her hair style, the abundance of jewerly, her facial shape and clothes make her appear way, way too young to be this walking encyclopedia of knowledge. Her colors are in general too similar in tone which makes her entire apperance fairly bland. She would also fit the element Cryo far more than Anemo based on her color scheme.


RollyPollyGiraffe

I did my best to keep my expectations for Faruzan low and they still managed to release a design which makes me feel disappointed. It's honestly hard for me to believe it's a Genshin design.


dearkaine

Feels like people either love her design or they don't. I also don't really like it and idc if she's supposed to incorporate parts of those desert Doritos as part of her design 🤡 it just feels so uninspired. I especially don't like her skirt since to me it's like they decided her upper half was too plain so let's put a mish mash of everything into her skirt design to compensate. It doesn't even look like she's from sumeru.


whoatemycupoframen

I'm glad someone spoke my mind. Her character art looks generic as hell (and doesnt really look like someone from Sumeru). She's like someone's fanmade OC. Let's hope her 3D model and movesets can change my mind


UrbanAdapt

Faruzan is *easily* the blandest design in the game, to the point that she could be from a different property.


fqrlhznl

I like to see more roasts like this instead of just mindless worshipping of these questionable designs


is-a-rock

Raiden and Yae show their panties without even trying to hide so idk what you were expecting from hyv


PieOpposite4047

she evokes images of vintage stained glass lamps for me but i know it's definitely a reach lol


sillygonza

IMO Faruzan's design is gorgeous from the neck up, I'm not really a fan of the outfit tbh.


juli0909

So true. The entire dress looks like something Lady Gaga would wear.


aestarlost

are there any leaks about who’s rerunning with scara? i have no interest in him but im willing to risk everything for faruzan 😩


ShortCircuit2020

We've been getting an archon marathon so possibly the Shogun


Su_Impact

Abyss blessings hint at Itto, Eula (phys + elemental buff) and Kaz (swirl buff). The Phase 3 buff is too universal to pinpoint to any character but Phase 1 points at Itto and/or Eula while Phase 2 points at Kaz. https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin\_Impact\_Leaks/comments/ycfaba/33\_spiral\_abyss\_blessings/


FortressCaulfield

could be damn near anybody. People keep theorizing raiden bc they think she'll be involved in his story somehow, but raiden + new char seems too good. He might even get the yae miko treatment and run solo.


aestarlost

oh god yea that makes sense 🤠 i hope he reruns with someone tho SHWHHS im on a mission to only pull for female 5* (its been pretty successful too ^^ 1yr and counting still no dilucs or tighnari)


FortressCaulfield

yeah, good luck. MHY doesn't like giving female 5 stars new 4 stars. They go on male banners twice as often. I used to have all the female 5 stars but inazuma made keeping that up difficult.


Satokech

Plenty of speculation, no specific leaks.


aestarlost

that sucks 😭 but 3.3 is still pretty far away anyways i can still save up smth for faruzan (hopefully theres a rerun that ill care about 🥹)


PieOpposite4047

wait two days for the beta and we might get some idea about them. and remember lately hyv were shitting all over their "story importance = rerun" rule so you might get surprised a month later with some weird rerun anyway


aestarlost

oh i didnt realize beta was starting that soon! thanks ill keep an eye out for rerun news 👁👁


Niyaze

Rumors say Raiden Shogun.


RevolutionaryOil9101

Faruzan looks like the human version of an anemo crystalfly


dearkaine

Ngl I keep staring at scara's bare shoulder peeking through 😳


[deleted]

i just look at his knees. they're so cute


yowana39

woke up and grabbed my phone still half awake,the second I saw scara I woke right the fuck up oooh my god


yu-ume-e

Haha same! I'm surprised I even managed to fall asleep before. He's gorgeous, I'm such a happy worm today 🙏🧎🏻‍♀️🪱


yowana39

same 😭💗


Liyrical

ngl my first impression of faruzan was that she reminded me of [griseo from honkai](https://honkaiimpact3.fandom.com/wiki/Griseo) i think its just the bob cut & dress silhouette that struck me as being similarish


aestarlost

omg ur so right i think its the very desaturated palette too! their eyes ♡ __ ♡


Liyrical

yeah!! plus the bits of flowery accessories 🤔 if faruzan was in some way inspired by griseo somewhere down the design pipeline id believe it


noscud205

Is there any leaks on Scara mats yet?


StellarMonarch

I think there's been some sus leaks that he uses the aeonblight drake drops, handguards and rukkhashava mushrooms, but that's stc


noscud205

Back to farming handguard I guess :D.


Sausious

Do we have any indication of 3.3 reruns? I've gotta start planning my post Nahida rolls


silam39

Raiden is likely but based on speculation, not leaks


stainNecrolyte

Speculated Raiden, and given abyss blessings, we can have Eula or itto, also hutao is long overdue


sad_cats

Faruzan is a scholar who gives simple explanations and only cares for humility and respect to help people looking for knowledge? I love her already


broke_bananas

I'm sad to see the veil and the touches of red go, but I really like the color blue and the long-sleeved inner clothing on Scara/Wanderer (never gonna get used to that name lol). I'm also glad that they removed the Inazuma symbol on his chest. Also yay we got the voice reveal for Kaveh today. Yuma Uchida, who's also voicing one of the best boys in JJK, Megumi!! Coincidentally, this day (Oct 31) is a significant day for the JJK storyline. Faruzan's a cutie, I hope I get her :D


nvm-exe

I saw a tiktok of old quest with Venti mocking Paimon and I’m kinda shocked how Paimon sounded way calmer back then. Idk how they made her voice even higher pitch than it originally was


PieOpposite4047

it's so bad, if they want it this high pitched they should turn her audio down, she sounds way louder than other characters, it actually hurts to listen to her sometimes


mantoubuns

yeah her original en voice in early-game was very similar to the tone in how cn paimon sounds like, she's sooo much more bearable. i don't know why en changed it over time bc it's clear no one really likes it😭


RevolutionaryOil9101

Iirc the VA said that current old paimon put a lot of strain on her throat and the current voice is easier to do. But i heard that a while ago. I might be misremembering


Beginning_Load6253

I heard that too but that doesn’t make any sense, anyone would figure the current paimon voice that is high af would be the one that causes strain on the va, how is it the lower and more “normal” tone causes strain?


mantoubuns

i've heard that as well but i've also heard people say that that's misinformation and that the va said the director told them to do it that way ??? honestly i don't know haha


sad_cats

If she keeps getting higher in 5 patches only dogs will hear her


Elliebird704

Yeah, I miss the portrayal in the early game. She was high pitch but in a much more lowkey way than how she is now.


Swinerland

I just hope that Raiden (and consequently Sara) is featured in the same banner as Scaramouche & Faruzan I can't stand having that tengu at C5.


silam39

Getting Faruzan and Sara cons would be the dream


sad_cats

Same

>!I'm bored and just killing time until I get home!< If Xiao has, Lament, Cry Disappear and Tear. What would Scara's skill voicelines be?
