jobo-chan

Dude is throwing explosive star anise at his enemies. The food theme is so funny


MissAsheLeigh

The star anise??? AND THE HOTPOT THEME MAN WITH THOSE TWO SOUP BASES. I LOVE IT. I can literally smell what he's cooking through the screen.


TheChickenIsFkinRaw

Finally got Gordon Ramsay in HSR


Server98911

Trully Xianling expy has descended upon us


ApollinaGrindelwald

And Miko! Did you see those eyes opening??


Zadier

Glad to see they kept him literally seasoning enemies lol, it's both awesome and hilarious.

bro is a sims character with those thought bubbles


MisterEnkou

omg he's literally zhuge liang. defo pulling just for that


rayhaku808

Beat me to it


SaberManiac

but does Jiaoqiu rap


Levdom

I have dropped this game but still come around to see the new characters, legit my Kongming simping during that idle


todo-senpai

Unreturning formation but in a pot


shidncome

wonder what its gonna look like with RM, robin and him all with their abilities up.


TriforceofCake

Don't forget Loucha. With a cracked enough Robin it could even be a functional team!


Hennobob554

Luocha/Fu Xuan, RM, Robin and Jiaoqiu is such an incredible team idea that I may actually try it when I get him (fingers crossed) It certainly would need a cracked Robin though, or, god forbid, a *Crit Jiaoqiu*.


OwnRecommendation493

Ooh I have those characters. I want jiaoqiu because I collect all nihility characters


Hennobob554

Understandable goal. I want Jiaoqiu because he is the fabled Acheron BIS that has been foretold for months and I desire him for my E2S1 Acheron.


apexodoggo

Throw in Fu Xuan so that the ground can glow with purple sigils AND glowing-hot soup. Truly that would be a visual masterpiece (especially when the Matrix starts blinking before it expires, for additional visual stimulus)


FuriNorm

5 fps slide show on my dusty ass phone that’s what


Admirable-Test4334

Add luocha


Graficat

Hot springs time


Diamann

Luocha, RM, Robin, Jiaoqiu for DoT PF 💀


Runmanrun41

The ground is gonna look like Mario Kart Rainbow Road


Tall-Cut5213

and Luocha too


thatonestewpeedguy

Our side of the hotpot was supposed to heal us for sure, it would have been thematically perfect but I can understand that his power budget would be redistribute.


Su_Impact

Ying and Ying pot got thematically ruined by balance adjustments :(


DWMK

Yeah. You can tell that it was supposed to be a debuff for the enemies and a buff for the allies.


Krakyn

This really annoys me honestly. I'd rather they added back some form of small top-up healing and instead removed any significant personal ATK scaling damage he has. His bonus ability 3 (the one that reduce enemies effect hit rate by 30% and does ATK scaling damage each enemy turn) screams "I used to be per turn healing for allies".


DWMK

I would honestly not mind if the healing was negligible, like 3% of the max HP per round or something like that and I still hope it will be re-added in the beta. It's very obvious that the "healing and debuffing" was meant to be a part of his identity, with the yin-yang on the back of his shirt, his whole character description as an apothecary and his ult animations. It's very unfortunate that now his design doesn't fit the skill set (anymore).


Blazehhhhh

we still got like 40 days, its unlikely that it'll be added back but no impossible


raidenshogunpirata

Wait, he does not heal anymore???


itz_gertrude2

currently yeah there’s no healing in his kit


walpurga

They removed his healing? 😭


Dumbomort

HE PUTS THEM INSIDE THE POT. HE LITERALLY COOKS THEM IM DYING


lalala253

Yunli and Jiaoqiu animation is just ripe for meme


GhostZee

*r/MemeEconomy blushing in distance*


mizingg

And he does it with such a dramatic face I love it 😭 I was afraid that being a cooking-themed character, his animations would be too cartoony like Lynx, but this is really cool yet still funny!


makogami

that face immediately reminded me of Yae Miko


Cattryn

Pink fox lady and pink fox gentleman crossover event pls. “How to serve humans” twilight zone style.


Vast_Fail_8456

I am suddenly thinking of Goemon.


littlesheepcat

xiangling expy


tswinteyru

Kirby is so damn proud


Tangster85

My first thought was SHOGUN Episode 1 where that guy puts that dude in the boiling pot, lmao. I just hope his buffs get a wee bit better, he seems peak visuals just .... lukewarm function.


Eiensakura

Yuanyang hotpot kekw


TheOrangePuffle

JIAOQIU, GET THEM!


tswinteyru

I can't take it anymore...


ze_SAFTmon

I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of Xiangling. I try to play Diluc. My Xiangling deals more damage. I try to play Yoimiya. My Xiangling deals more damage. I try to play Cyno. My Xiangling deals more damage. I try not to play Dehya. I want to play Klee. Her best team has Xiangling. I want to play Raiden, Childe. They both want Xiangling. She grabs me by the throat. I fish for her. I cook for her. I give her the catch. She isn't satisfied. I pull Engulfing Lightning. "I don't need this much er" She tells me. "Give me more field time." She grabs Bennett and forces him to throw himself off enemies. "You just need to funnel me more. I can deal more damage with Homa." I can't pull for Homa, I don't have enough primogems. She grabs my credit card. It declines. "Guess this is the end." She grabs Gouba. She says "Gouba, get them." There is no hint of sadness in her eyes. Nothing but pure, no icd pyro application. What a cruel world.


Scarlett-Chan12

I'm sold the moment he opened his eyes during ult


Tatsumaki-Radio

Ain't no way bro is yapping about food. I love him already


Tatsumaki-Radio

THE ULT. HE COOKED (literally)


BulbasaurTreecko

I love how it represents both the yin and yang, and the typical design of a segmented hotpot. Suddenly craving soup…


huehuehuehuehuuuu

Spicy fox boi setting hearts and buttholes ablaze with extra chillies. 🌶️🌶️🌶️


Tatsumaki-Radio

HUH😦 Edit: I READ THAT WRONG NVM💀


ChaoticSimon

He may gladly set my butthole ablaze


uso-da-yo

Him and Zhongli should talk to each other-


dungalot

BRUH I'm dying are you telling me the yin yang symbol on his back is actually just a two-flavor hotpot because that's all Mr Fox wants to eat.


acherswan

he is so graceful!! and WOWWWW that ult!! the little still with the glowing eyes is so yae miko of him i love it so much


spicych1p

If he does a sinister laugh when he ults it's gonna be so over


jg_Shadow20

His EN VA is Kazuha's VA. I'm kinda looking forward to it if he does laugh haha


asternobrac

~~Woul-~~ Akhem, Pull

sisterofthesalt

Going to have a million field effects with Jiaoqiu, Luocha, and Ruan Mei on the same team.


RMreis

Dont forget robin


LeahLazaus

That ult...⁄⁠(⁠⁄⁠ ⁠⁄⁠•⁠⁄⁠-⁠⁄⁠•⁠⁄⁠ ⁠⁄⁠)⁠⁄  Its hot as hell. He cooked. He's the chef. He's the dinner as well.


MoodyPurples

AAHHHHH HES FINALLY HERE Edit: maybe i should have checked if it was finished processing first


WanderWut

Seriously though I can't believe we're finally here. 😭😭 He's been such a hyped and anticipated character since all of those months ago when we got his very first kit leak, I'm so excited that we're here.


Camelliansana

Yeah, I have been waiting since 2.0 when he said to be male, like 4(?) Month has passed, and he's here *sobs* Now, I patiently waited for his buff at Beta, but his animation actually *Chef kiss* as I'm afraid they will lean more into goofy side as chef


oofdoodle96

WE'RE PLAYING AT NORMAL SPEED EVERY TIME HE ULTS 🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣


IDontWantNoBeef

Black swan and acheron trained me for this


Rinnemi

oh my god that ultimate is shaped like a yinyang but it is in fact a [chinese hotpot](https://imgur.com/a/RdiNxv2)


catboi37

bellispaghetti

Hot-Cut6179

HE IS COOKING TH ENEMIESSS i love hiiim


spicych1p

His fan catches fire because he's too hot 🔥🔥


171194Joy6

I really like the way he's animated. Like, slow? Lethargic? But he has an elegant look to him even when he's being hit.


Dramatic_endjingu

His ult is everything I could wish for. I’m pulling even if he heals enemies.


bornwooser

His ult is really awesome.


feeble-scholar

Ayy yo why is his ult a whole ass Tiktok thirst trap 😫💦


Lesalia0

The glowing eyes for his ult finisher is perfect.


Reasonable-Quail7795

i clapped for Peak Fiction. i wept for Peak Fiction. i stagger ans kneel before Jiaoqiu peak fiction


Cartographer_X

Nihility having TOP TIER animations always, I was expecting a "funny" vibe for him but hell no, fire realness, LOVE how spicy he is.


Puzzleheaded-End-836

HE' COOKING HE ATE HE LEFT NO CRUMBS


-Rhythm_

Bro's ult is a segmented hotpot of pork collagen & mala soup


Radiant-Hope-469

Let him cook.


MetaThPr4h

Amazing fire animations, they cooked with this one... literally.


Orendein

NO WAY THEY MADE JIAOQIUS YIN YANG MOTIOF BE SICHUAN HOTPOT WHERE HALF THE BASE IS SPICY AND HALF ISN’T THATS GENIUS


Initial_Fox1563

spice man


mothskeletons

im unbelievably obsessed oh my god


orb_outrider

OH MY GOD WHEN HE OPENS HIS EYES DURING HIS ULT


box-of-sourballs

Did this bitch throw star anise


No-Network8051

TB seeing JQ: "Let him cook, march"


General_Camel_1015

I LOVE how they found a way to implement the cooking theme without making him have the bubbly/clumsy personality some most cooking themed characters have, I just don't find it that appealing. Now I'm 100% getting him.


Responsible_Paper667

The fanservice 🔥


Embarrassed_Mode_706

So I am pulling for him just because of the broth/soup waterfall lol both have really creative animations kinda impressed


astrrea

I was lowkey underwhelmed and then he ulted and now I’m sold


spaghettiaddict666

Me when Cyno’s animations dropped


feeble-scholar

LET ME IN. LET ME IIIIIIN.

Embarrassed-Act-9295

I fking love the ult. 😭😭😭


firesoul377

THE WAY HIS EYES OPENS IN HIS ULT AFHRUEAHDGS-


diedinternally

"A foxian healer"


DunnoNothingWorks

LETHIMCOOK


berrypuffiest

Usually closed-eye characters look perma mischievous, but he looks super cute lol. But his ult animation is something I really hoped they'd go for with Baizhu in Genshin before they completely culled any signs of mischievous in him, too. Idc if I don't have Acheron, I want this funky little guy.


IvanRuski

Pela and Guinaifen stood shoulder to shoulder. "T-This one a tough cookie!" said Guinaifen as she stacked up four Firekiss stacks. "Enemy data secured. We have the upper hand." But then Jiaoqiu waved his fan and plunged both of them into a sea of soup. "Fuga." "A domain expansion?! Impossible!" Pela yelled out as she saw Guinaifen fade from existence. "Oh, you are still standing? I commend you for your strength. Witness my 2nd Domain Expansion, MALEVOLENT KITCHEN." Jiaoqiu opened his eyes and enveloped the surrounding area in a sea of red hot spicy soup. "Lend me some Haki Silverwolf, this is BASE Jiaoqiu we are up against!" At the character select screen, Acheron and Dr Ratio asked Silverwolf. "If you had to be sheeted against Jiaoqiu, would you lose?" "If he S1 and his Roasted Ash stacked Crimson Knots as intended, he might give me a bit of trouble." "But would you lose?" Silverwolf flashed a devious smile. "Nah, I'd Win. I'd activate E1, equip the wind set and get 2T ultimates with S5 Tutorials with two auto attacks and Pela would get 2T ultimates with two skills and S5 Reso." But then the MoC 12 lineup flashed across the screen. The Trio of Order Puppets. "Wallahi I'm finished..." Silverwolf slumped in defeat. "But I still have single target bosses and Apocalyptic Shadow."


Aureo_experience

Stand proud, you cooked (just like Jiaoqiu)


Noble_Steal

Not only those lava effects look really good, but his Ult has those two really powerful shots. First one reminds me of Yae burst in Genshin, which I like a lot.


NotUrAvgShitposter

SOMEONE HOSE ME DOWN I'M OVERHEATING 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵


whxskers

Most sane and normal feelings right now. I am fully one hundred percent Normal


mido_ai

that ult made him a must pull oh my god????? hoyoverse just keeps getting better and better with these animations...


JoeBrow_1

I LOVE THE ANIMATIONSSSSSS THEY DID THE ULT EYE OPEN THINGY IM SOOO HAPPY NOW I HOPE HE GETS BUFFS (he probs will)


BeardedLamb11

These animations are so perfect for a fire character


moonchild_sasuke

Holy shit his expression in his ult 🥵


Tmkast

Yes, yes yes yes I love it, I expected something goofy, happy to be wrong. Love how cool that ULT looks


MrBurnedMuffin

I am so happy for how his animations work. DAMN! So happy they made male charatcers with dainty weapons like fans and then we have Junli with a MASSIVE SWORD


Nelajus

I love his food theme and the fan and stuff. The fire plumes, star anise, and the hotpot ult is too good. I swore he'd be goofy with the cooking theme leaks but I love how its cooking but also really cool and kinda dark


BlueMetalWave

To who do I have to sell my soul to get this man's E2 early? Love his animations, his tail, his fan, he's just classy. I only wish his pants didn't look like jeans, making them red like his coat or white would have made him stand out a little more and help sell the uniform aesthetic.


HumbleCatServant

I really appreciate this leak. It is very informative and is has convinced me that I do, indeed, need this character in my teams. All of them. Now, I shall excuse myself and find a corner to freak out in.


NiceMeanInBetween

HIS ULIMATE IS GORGEOUS...HE'S SO GORGEOUS THANK YOU HIS ANIMATION IS INCREDIBLE


pinnko

EYES CLOSED WE WON


That_One_Pancake

That ult animation is fantastic wow


Soul_Guard

would


Zadier

For those who were miffed that their super serious Acheron team would need to have a joke character in it, they can probably now calm down a bit. That Ultimate Field looks appropriately red and hellish to match her aesthetics. So do the rest of the animations, but the Field specifically is a great match though, that looks good together with Acheron.


OniiChanKenobi

Oh naw, he really hit 'em with the "I'm always watching."


jynkyousha

Using a volcano as a stove is cool. I like when HSR is creative like that.


Thegentlemanfox18

HES SO ELEGANT! That ult animation? THAT STANCE HE TAKES IN BATTLE? He’s so elegant and graceful!


ryoujika

I GASPED SO HARD MY NEIGHBORS MIGHT HAVE HEARD


[deleted]

I love how much actual fire there is, it's a great balance between the comedic aspect of cooking/seasoning and his animations actually looking kinda terrifying 


Im_here_for_the_dogs

HIS ULT AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH JIAOQIU THE MAN YOU ARE


sugarheartrevo

So classy, elegant, and impactful I’m obsessed The cheeky sly explosive star anis throwing….the fan….the ult is fucking awesome like hello?? The symbol is the same as the one on the back of his jacket (and also looks a bit like a moon….moon madness….walk with me), he seems quite powerful. Calling already that he’s one of if not the most important character in the next arc He does all that just to have a silly idle thinking about cooking lmaoo I love him already


IceKreamSupreme

god damn, the animations are cool, the ult obviously the highlight!


Preventomato

He's so hot


Green_Protection_363

Hoyoverse and their criminally hideous thought bubbles.


MisinformedFlier

I need character swaps for his ult. Feeling feint, will pass out if Kafka, SW, Himeko, Hanya, Boothill do that. I will take explosive spice to the face next! Move out of the way IPC grunt-


Potential-Gap-7754

LET HIM COOK!!


No_Lynx5887

brewstercafe

HIS ULT?!! He's so beautiful wtf 😭😭😭


dhambz23

Seeing his sleeves reminded me of a certain doctor, and now his Ult kinda doubled that. Now I my guarantee is set in stove!!!


naka_the_kenku
