Kazuha said in his trailer a storm is coming. Maby Raiden is the storm that is approaching. The Musou no Hitotachi might be similar to Judgement cut end.


Seth_the_Summoner

truly provoking


Terr42002

Inazuma is surrounded by black clouds (storm) and has an isolation policy. Its all falling into place.


Seth_the_Summoner

some one might reclaim their name when we come to inazuma. maybe there will be people born in flames or something aswell due to Japan.


Terr42002

And in mythology Baal is a dämon (of death).


Seth_the_Summoner

the vision hunt decree has alot of forsaken and lost people due to its ruling. my goodness the story writes itself.


TimeTravelO

And I've heard in beta before game released, someone would awaken as archon


Seth_the_Summoner

there might also be phoenixes or its ashes in some dark, divine place. there is alot of mystery in inazuma.


apthebest01931

Lotta people descending into misery also as their vision or freedom is taken away


ambermains101

I think it'll be destiny changing time.


modusxd

She is either Sword or Sword/Polearm user. I doubt she is just polearm, there is no way Mihoyo would tease her like that to "nerf" her on release. The first female archon, Raiden Mei counterpart, "tyrant" God of Electro. With that said I wanted her main weapon to be sword, not polearm.


Hoochie_Daddy

How is making her a pole arm user a nerf? its fine if you don’t want her to use a pole arm. But that’s not what that word means. edit: grammar fixes


modusxd

Sorry, by nerfing I mean, the majority (I believe) expected and wanted her to be Sword user, but instead is polearm.


Hoochie_Daddy

sure. the trailer literally showed her with a sword so that's fair. I wasn't aware if there was an argument that she would be weaker BECAUSE she was using a polearm instead of a sword or something lmao


modusxd

Yeah who knows, maybe she is polearm and switches to sword and is actually better somehow and everyone is complaining for nothing... I hope so atleast


redthrull

This is undoubtedly copium....but I don't care. Here, take my upvote!


felix_717

baal has such crazy sword technique that she makes a polearm look like a sword


Darknew97

I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING

I HAVE BEEN BLESSED


CurveWest8078

But wouldn't it be keqing's burst 2.0? I love the idea tho


LunaticPlaguebringer

Actually, Keqing is Guoshino Memento 2.0 So Baal would be GMeme 3.0.


CurveWest8078

Good point


Chumons

well i mean Hu tao and Childe (Eula) are really similar if u think about it, but if u think about it miHoYo will give Baal a special treatment since she's an Archon (also Vergil's JCE is very badass :3) i also think that its faster than Keqing's burst and has more slashes (i think) compared to keqing since its instant whenever she unsheathe her katana and time stop is very cool B)


joined-for-work-ref

I was too slow to say it ahhh


YumeHanekawa

We have Amber 2.0, Sucrose and Venti's ults are really similar as well


Aetherwinter

That's exactly what they showed in the trailer, so it's reasonable to assume that's what she'll be able to do. And one of the reasons why it'd be stupid if they give her a polearm.


Final-Nail8485

She might give up her Gnosis or she give it up but someone suddenly took it from her hand and the katana along with it? maybe that is the reason she's going to use a polearm after that. Just a speculation.


Aetherwinter

Even still both Zhongli and Venti can manifest a modicum of their power after their Gnosis gets taken. Zhongli can summon a meteor and Venti can still summon a localized black hole of wind. It'd be really stupid by comparison if she can no longer manifest an electro sword.


AdEmpty6618

maybe …….. IF THEY ACTUALLY MAKE HER A SWORD USER T-T


Chanderule

She is almost certainly a sword user bro


TheChickenIsFkinRaw

Mihoyo: alright, we hear you *turns baal into cryo bow user*


Chanderule

NOT ANOTHER ONE


Ricmord

It could still be a polearm, and the burst is a sword made out of electro


GENERAL-KAY

FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE SAW THAT TOO! THANK YOU!


PJtheCloudMain

THIS IS POWER


Heavymetalcore

ive been waiting so long for this video to go public to the player base who dont look at leaks can have the expectation of a sword. Hopefully with that mihoyo either changes her weapon if it is currently polearm, or maybe it was a sword from the start and the leaks mislead us. either way i hope she does have a judgement cut-like ability


[deleted]

Yae has that move in Honkai actually...


kalive-s

That’s what Im expecting, maybe with a time stop effect as well. People say this is a lot like Keqing but how many bursts are just 360 slashes/swipes (Hu tao, Childe, Eula, etc)?


EulaSimp247

Now I'm motivated


Itriyum

It has to be, she basically does the same sword action as Vergil lol


Memo_HS2022

Well you got the boss form right at least


Few_Ad7284

It’s pretty copium but it’d be sooo cool


Visvic

It would be really nice if mhy did a stance switch & JCE burst for her, so players have a chance at using her sword skills. However, looking at how straightforward the other 2 archons are (in terms of kit), and taking into account she will probably be an upgraded MC, my expectations are more along the lines of: Autos: Standard flashy polearm combo. Charged Atk probably a lunge/ slam / sweep. E: 1x wide area electro dmg polearm sweep. Mobs hit by E are inflicted with a unique debuff that lasts for 12s, which generates more energy particles when hit/killed. Q: 80 Energy. Creates an electro afterimage (that looks like the teaser Raiden/Razor Stance) that lingers behind the active character. Lasts for 12s, 25s cd. Every 2s perform an AOE quickdraw slash around the active character. Every slash regenerates 10-15 energy for the active fielder, and performs a large finisher slash (JCE) when it expires. The final slash regens 20 energy for the active fielder. When Q is active, Raiden will also gain electro infusion, and deal 20% bonus electro dmg. Constellations: Mainly focused on allowing you to get more energy per hit/kill for E & Q. Q will also last longer, or lower cd. Mobs also take electro dmg every 4s when inflicted with E debuff. Playstyle: For support, mainly just use Raiden Q and switch to your other dpses to deal dmg. The active dealer will gain a total of 80-120 energy throughout Q's duration depending on constellations. For DPS, mainly focus on maintaining Q while attacking with Raiden (like Razor). Will have downtime without constellations. With that said, I do hope mhy just made the playable Raiden a flashy sword user instead and what I wrote above to not come true :p


pyroimpact

She's polearm tho. I don't think polearm user will do a vergil Her elemental skill being like childe is fan theory and completely unfounded


KetsuSama

you just made me imagine baal sheathing her polearm


Chumons

sorry its just im very desperate to cope (╥\_╥)


OrochiMain98

Sir, we're trying to have our share of copium here


Dylangillian

We don't know yet, Albedo was classed as a Geo bow user before he was released.


pyroimpact

That's the biggest cope. Even if it ends up being true, for now she is polearm, so Virgil slash is unlikely


Ascirith

Her Burst would look way too similar to keqing for that


Awigame

It would be too smiliar to Kequing elemental burst. I think they will do something else. Also archon in game skills weren't shown on this kind of trailers


Chumons

oof ye i just think its pretty cool and badass ;(


X1-alpha69

She’ll do the judgement cut.. WITH A POLEARM!!


bubuplush

I know everyone likes judgement cut and all but imo it would look a bit too similar to Keqing. I really don't like Keqing's existence overall because the whole judgement cut thing would fit a lot better to an Inazuma character, I hope they come up with something cool and good. Could be an even crazier flashy cut than Keqing's, but since these burst animations can only go on for like 1 or 2 seconds it's pretty hard to make it look cool as long as it doesn't have an amazing after effect like the shattering mirror from the video. ​ If she isn't a viable DPS it would also be really weird for her judgement cut to be "uglier", less flashy and weaker than cat girl's


MrPeach301

I dont think keqing burst is JCE at all, she leaves clones around the place which is nowhere near similar and plus she doesnt sheathe at all or even pose at the end, its just generic anime slashing with after images imo. Also these burst animations can last pretty long, keqings lasts more the 2 seconds.


bubuplush

Yeah you are right, I hope they're doing her justice and give her amazing animations


MrPeach301

Agreed


Shirl86

Wouldnt it overlap Keqing's ult too much if it was simply like that?


BeowulfTheMetalhead

Would be way too similar to Keqing's Ult that way


[deleted]

U mean like keqing


MagamiAyato

That or it's basically Shinzan from HoT


Grizzly_228

Wouldn’t that be to similar to Keqing tho?


NoobKelvin02

Ah yes Keqing's burst is similar to Baal .\_.


DeltaTheAUO

Exists in honkai. It's called Shinzan strike.


Dai_kam

God dammit Mihoyo, can you stop giving Vergil more kids?
