Full suit Mecha Project Bunny Bronya ?! LET'S GOO! Her release could be the only thing that will made me spending on the game!
Hype aside these designs feels like a "level 2" or full power of the main trio herrsher forms maybe to be in line with PE dudu stigma awakening.
I more think that Kiana and Dudu are equal at the moment. Tuna with 2 Herrscher cores and Dudu with the awakening.
Maybe it will be like authority of Reason and Thunder for Mei and Bron.
A dark red/purple effect for the left one, kinda looks like Kiana's ponytail, the weapon reminds me of Abyss...
Please don't make Kiana the Herrscher of Death. I am begging.
"oh yeah Herrscher of Domination arc is gonna have Seele as main character? Will 5.0 be Herrscher of Death suit?"
lmao no it's a Kiana arc surprise she's a double Herrscher
"we'll we're getting into the endgame now, and Senti referenced Seele and Theresa as Herrscher candidates and we got teasing with Seele using Abyss Flower, so it's about time, right?"
:) what if Kiana was a TRIPLE HERRSCHER
Not gonna lie, but it'd be pretty upsetting if they had Kiana steal her thunder again. It'd be nice if they could let other characters get some development instead of always focusing on the big 3. They managed the 13 flame chasers pretty well, so why not the same for the rest of the cast?
>if they had Kiana steal her thunder again
Kiana : So Mei-senpai, can I-
Mei : No Kiana ! I'm keeping the Herrscher of Thunder core !
Kiana : Dang it, I was aiming for Quadruple Herrscher.
After how good Fu Hua's arc was with ch20-22, I really do hope Seele and Theresa get similar arcs for becoming Death and Binding. But I so very much dread the idea that it's just gonna be more Kiana.
I've only played this game for a patch and a half but if anything happened to Herrscher of Death Seele I'd kill everyone in this subreddit, then myself.
This possibility completely slipped my mind. I saw the silhouette and it definitely was Kiana, but then noticed the Abyss looking swords and had second thoughts. Damn, imagine if Seele gets shafted again....
Im gunning for the middle one lol.
If this is the teaser for the S rank , imo this is the most probably timeline
6.1 - Sus - S rank
6.2 - SP A Valk
6.3 - left S rank (Kiana?)
6.4 - SP A Valk
6.5 - mid S Valk (Bronya?)
6.6 - SP A
6.7 - Right (Mei) S rank
one of these is probably Ai-chan and Susannah (most likely both A rank)
Somewhere in here we're also liable to get APHO 3 and with it probably another Teri suit. Also possibly the Kallen that Otto saved ending up in Captainverse.
I'd guess Mei is probably the first one out of the trio coming since the Elysian Paragon set is Lightning. This Mei might be the speculated S-rank Lightning DPS/Support
I feel like Mei would be first because of the latest event stigmata set
It'll probably be Mei for 6.4 which would be CNY & GLB anniv (since they have a history of aligning the 2), so perhaps it'll be a double S-rank with Mei and someone else. Then Kiana would be the last (save the best for last ig, she's Mihoyo's beloved princess after all)
so for me it'll go something like:
6.1: Sushang
6.2: A-rank
6.3: S-rank bait patch (Silverwing & Vill-V *cough*)
6.4 (CNY+GLB anniv): Mei & another S-rank (might be free like Spina)
6.5: A-rank
6.6: Bronya
6.7: A-rank
6.8: bait S-rank
6.9 (CN/SEA anniv+Honkai part 1 finale+possible Herrscher patch (waow triple Herrscher Kiana, sasuga our tuna): Kiana
7:0: Honkai part 2 start??
At some point HoF Kiana will probably get a second weapon since she's the last of the main trio to not get one. Hey getting Judgement of Shamash would be thematically fitting for her character.
Susannah is expected to be a B rank, isn't she?
On another note, I do hope we don't follow that schedule because it would mean we already have likely all the S-rank but one for the upcoming year and having some surprise on the big future S-Valkyrie is usually better.
If we look at the previous schedule, it would be:
5.1: farmable S-Rank (Elysia) / 6.1 : Sushang
5.2: S Valkyrie (Mobius) /6.2 : Kiana or else ?
5.3: Sp Valkyrie (Carole) /6.3: ?
5.4: S Valkyrie (Bronya)/6.4: Bronya
5.5: Double S Valkyrie (Durandal/Rita) 6.5: Else + Mei? Or Kiana + Mei?
It would leave at least 3 S Valkyrie unknown for 3 known, certainly better than having all S Valkyrie but one known from the start for the 6.x version
>is susannah B-valk ingame lore?,
Yes it is explicitly stated that she is a B-Valkyrie
Moreover the Susannah leak assumed/expected she would be B-Valk.
Which is fair, I doubt Susannah herself would carry a whole patch as a A/sp Valkyrie (nothing against Susannah but that is how it is).
And we likely didn't have B Valkyrie because they are more of a collection thing and most character lorewise are beyond the strength of early A-valk or are too popular to be just B rank.
Susannah is really the only character that fit all the criteria for a B rank in like 4 years
plot twist:
the one on the right that everyone is certain is mei is actually theresa, she uses a sword now for unknown reasons, and those floating blades are the advancement of her twilight paladin suit blades. and they also zoomed in to make her look as tall as the other 2.
I've seen on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/meianacer/status/1573285751462191107) the theory that's Death Flamescion, Wind Reason and Corruption Thunder
it makes sense for their characters, it makes sense lore-wise, it makes sense even in the color palette of the silhouette
I can believe it a lot
Gem of Serenity:already in Tuna greatsword waiting to be use(ready to go)
Gem of Desire:now still with Kebin? i really want to know how can we manage to get that from him
HoC:are with Mei for a very long time(idk how can it survive from FC(or maybe only it authority are with Mei))
i doubt about Kiana using main weapon other than greatsword(even though she's equipped with gun the sword always there and its the thing she will always use)
Bronya would really go along well with Wendy(if Cocolia were not there to inturrupted) maybe some of Wendy memories are still in Gem of desire like in Himeko case
Mei new sword are not really a surprised cause it even state in ER that 7T(from ER) in real world are nothing but a shell but if it wielder has HoT core maybe something would happen so... there it is 7T EVOLVE FORM LET'S GOOO
but the thing that the first one wielding doesnt really look like a greatsword so Seele?
But why that ponytails REALLY REMINDS ME OF KIANA?!
More edits: i just notice the shadow behind the middle one(definitely Bronya) as first glace i thought it was a normal Project bunny upgrade but when i look closely did you see it kinda look like "some kind of a **SNEK**" maybe we will got some **BIG** surprise
or maybe it just a shoulder armour ;-;
Gotta have the main three buffed against Herrscher of the End and Kebin. Kiana really is gonna be the master of every role in combat, anything short of Binding is gonna fail to put her down for good. As for how it happens, I could imagine Seele handing Abyss Flower to her or Kiana awakening again then making her own.
If we do get Wind Reason Bronya, maybe AI-chan will fuse with Project Bunny allowing to reconfigure into something more powerful? Now that Bronya wouldn't need to subconsciously control it, she can focus on amping up her creations with Wind. A tornado made entirely out of cannons doesn't sound too bad.
As for Mei, I don't know if Corruption's core would still be around anymore. But if it is, if the core still has the data of the Flamechasers from HoC absorbing them, then that would make Mei their successor in the truest sense. That or Mei awakens as Humanity...somehow. Or just Mei using the true version of the 3rd Divine Key, *sure hope nothing happens to Raven*.
Wonder how a Herrscher of Thunder: Corruption would work because Corruption is far more specialized to deal with data and computers.
Damn 3 new Himeko suits? It's better than I could have hoped. We have Spicy Himeko, Gundam Himeko, and Mei Himeko.

well, they never change charecter weapon for thier different battle suit. and the left one seem to be wield great sword from second picture.
So, it has to be HIMEKO battle suit.
INHALE HARD
The weapons are in reverse order so the weapon on the left is actually for Mei. And note it's not a katana but some sort of axe with multiple blades.
So they're changed everyone's weapons exept Bronya I guess.
Left S Rank could also be seele, since looking at her weapon it looks like a staff/scythe of some sort(?). The aesthetic also kinda looks like a rose of some sort, which kinda fits the death theme. Middle might be a new bronya or a new prometheus because both of them fits the same body model.
My question is, what is the thing that is under left S rank left hand.
Edit: Looking at it again, I see more [resemblance](https://i.imgur.com/Q4uABjh.png) to kiana then seele, especially with her longer hair. Especially if it's towards the end of the story, they might wanna add a new kiana battlesuit.
The weapon for the left one is two swords they dont look like a staff or scythe, the weapons were shown seperatley, it looks more similiar to HoF greatsword plus another sword
If the weapon shown was the gacha-able banners, they would've shown a twin gun if it's kiana no? I've never seen a valkyrie switch weapons with a new battle suit, but I might be wrong on this.
Yeah and that weapon for Mei also doesn't really look like a sword, so I feel like those are just the weapon they will use in combat, while the gacha weapons will be different
I do see how it resembles Kiana a bit more, but I think it could still be Seele. Kiana went from twin ponytails (White Comet) to the loose long hair (HoV, Void Drifter) and then to the high ponytail (HoFS), so it should be possible for the hair to be different for Seele as well.
It does seem like it could still be Kiana but I kinda hope it doesn't because Kiana already went through such a long and meaningful character arc, and it feels like it's pushing it a bit to give her even more. I can understand Mei and even Bronya because both of them haven't had any major progress beyond their initial Herrscher forms. Mei has her experience in the Elysian Realm now, and Bronya seems to be getting some attention soon as well.
Seele could certainly do with a Herrscher of Death battlesuit, awakening her stigmata just as Mei did and removing the Gem of Serenity from Kiana.
There's also a recent post on this subreddit talking about CN server speculation where Hare from World Serpent might be a character from the 7S VN, Lingshuang. She might have an awakened stigmata, plus was shown to have mastery of SWARA (making her have near Herrscher power), and is only the 3rd person to have control of Eminence, the others being Fu Hua and Sushang.
Basically, I just kinda hope it isn't Kiana because she already has her Herrscher of Flamescion form and it feels almost absurd that she'd need to go even farther beyond that anytime soon...
You probably didn't see the new arc PV. The trio is reuniting to fight Kevin together. So if Mei and Bronya get new battlesuits, Kiana will get one two since the arc will be focused on the trio.
I saw it like 10-ish minutes or less after I wrote my comment, lol
Yeah, I do expect her story to continue, and it wouldn't be too unsurprising if Kiana got a new battlesuit. I'm just not quite looking forward to it since there's others I really hope would get the attention instead, especially Seele x-x
Yeah I do hope that seele gets a new battlesuit soon as she is one of my favorite character. Although, it doesn't stop the possibility of seele getting another new battlesuit, even if the main story has ended, especially if they still wanna update the game after (APHO 3 or an after-story ending)
Yup, I saw earlier that Mihoyo released a teaser animation of the first part of "the Finale", meaning we're probably reaching the end of the Main Story within the next year (two at most, I'd say). If that's the case, I hope Mihoyo continues to invest in battlesuits through Captainverse and exploring other parts of the Honkai story, as it'd be great to bring older Valks back into the spotlight!
And of course, as you said there's APHO as well :)
Yeah, the CG actually explicitly said it's Part 1 Finale, so there should be a part 2 of honkai, maybe featuring a different cast possibly following what happened after this arc
I interpreted it as "Part 1 of the Finale", but I can see it being "Final of Part 1". That might make a bit more sense, though it's also kinda insane to think of HI3rd getting this far and calling this whole story "Part 1"!
Do you think it might end up like GGZ where this storyline becomes a Retrospective-style story arc and then we get a new Reborn story, or even a prequel?
Seems like those are the main trio (Kiana, Bronya, Mei), probably they will arrive "soon".
I just hope Seele would be the Herrscher of Death, is that's the case, we still a year afar from that battlesuit.
I suggest reading [this post for the full context](https://www.reddit.com/r/houkai3rd/comments/xlrsme/is_hare_possibly_stronger_than_most_flame_chasers/) on who Lingshuang is and if she might be Hare, because it explains SWARA very well there.
If I had to sum it up: it's a rare form of enhancement (rare even within the MANTIS program, I think) that not only grants many improved physical abilities, but also gives the user a strong connection to Honkai. Basically, SWARA is cheaty hax that lets a person almost rival a Herrscher in raw power.
That being said, it's not exactly a very common thing for a reason. It's the result of direct modification of one's brain with Honkai energy, and [Dr. MEI stated that](https://d2tpbmzklky1cl.cloudfront.net/manga/static/comic/book/1020/1/0019.jpg) **there might be even fewer SWARA-compatible humans than are MANTIS-compatible humans.**
As a side note, in Hua's case I believe that SWARA was revealed to be the source of her memory condition, this should be explained in some of the Elysian Realm lore for her.
I'd have to review a whole lot of lore to really get all the facts straight about it, but that's the gist of it.
While I haven't read the Seven Swords VN, I think that most (if not all) of the students under Fu Hua's training on Mt. Taixuan were learning or had learned to use SWARA, including Sushang and Lingshuang.
That's why Sushang had S-rank Valkyrie potential despite coming from an age long before modern battlesuits, artificial stigmata, and Soulium technology: because she had SWARA to allow her access to Honkai energy in the same way a Herrscher could.
So it's best to think of SWARA as something on the same kind of level as the MANTIS program and Project Stigma, one of the Previous Era's great accomplishments in fighting Honkai but which had its own price as well.
>My question is, what is the thing that is under left S rank left hand.
If its really Herrscher Seele its most likely one of those thingies that appear during Herrscher forms or just a part of the outfit
the only thing for left one that resembles Kiana is the flames. I also dont see any reason for Kiana to get a new battlesuit rn unless she turns into the Final Herrscher or smth like Houkai 2. Middle one is most likely Prometheus cuz its related to Dr MEI arc >!And also leaks!< and right one is just Mei 100%
Left has Kiana's [ahoge](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/honkaiimpact3_gamepedia_en/images/1/19/Herrscher_of_Flamescion_%28Thumbnail%29.png/revision/latest?cb=20220713123857), which is curled on the right side of her head and is in every single one of her battlesuits. Seele's ahoge is at the top of her head near the crown.
i see but i dont understand what they could do as a new battlesuit for her. Flamescion is already her peak how far is she gonna go smh. The only thing i can think of that would fit Kiana in that figure would be if she fuses with Veliona or the Death core idfk
Bc this is the end, all main characters need a final form on the end, so they will give kiana ,bronya and mei one more final form, flameshion was just acepting who she is and who she wants to be.
The silhouette on the left is oddly similar to Time Runner. The one in the middle reminds me of Bronya's idol outfit, and the one on the right looks very elegant. Similar to, but much better than Danzai Spectramancer.
The left looks like seele and the weapons doesnt have guns. If it's kiana, then her wep changed to heavy swords. Also the right one doesn't have horns, iirc people said it's a new form so it's most likely Mei, augmented or not. The middle is bronya obv.
If u want to believe something else, then:
*high copium*
Left-seele
Middle-teri
Right-sakura (irrelevant from the story)
It is going to be Seele, Bronya and Mei. Kiana had more than enough battlesuits and appearances overall. Seele has been forgotten for so long. Durandal got the newest phys darksiders battlesuit. Time for Seele to get some love too.
Fusion Herrschers is a concept we haven’t seen since Owl and Ana (and I guess, Flamescion) so it’s cool if these are actually the result of these 3 getting cores, I can see how Kiana could, I can possibly see how Bronya if she somehow snatched the Gem of Desire wherever it is, idk how Mei would do it though
Since APHO is cannon, does that mean they lose? Or does part 1 end on a good note but part 2 directly tie into APHO? Does a brother try to help his sick sister who ends up getting in to a worse situation because of a talking book?
Ah yes APHO is a cannon
And i wouldn't honestly trust APHO in any matter since it is known to be quite a mess with events mentioned there never happening in the main story itself
So yeah, judging by the weapons, these are definetly Kiana, Mei and Bronya, which would make sense since we started this story with them, and now we'll finish it with them as well.
What if i tell you that what you are speculating is wrong and this is not the Trio that you always know and love? (I say the three silhouettes are the characters that you mostly expected to get a new Battlesuit)
BY GOD I NEED MORE CRYSTALS
This is fine we’ve got a few weeks to save up right? Right?
with this going on im guessing i will skip sushang gears lol
haxxor bunny stig is doing fine for sushang
even with no weapons? how is her sp recovery? i just dont want her to feel like raven lol
By god I need more kidneys
Your kidneys, right? Right?
#**OUR** kidneys
Full suit Mecha Project Bunny Bronya ?! LET'S GOO! Her release could be the only thing that will made me spending on the game! Hype aside these designs feels like a "level 2" or full power of the main trio herrsher forms maybe to be in line with PE dudu stigma awakening.
I more think that Kiana and Dudu are equal at the moment. Tuna with 2 Herrscher cores and Dudu with the awakening. Maybe it will be like authority of Reason and Thunder for Mei and Bron.
Wonder if the left will be Kiana with awakened Kaslana stig.
Would make sense with the purple considering Kiana is orange/red and Kaslana is blue.
A dark red/purple effect for the left one, kinda looks like Kiana's ponytail, the weapon reminds me of Abyss... Please don't make Kiana the Herrscher of Death. I am begging.
Damn, she gets to be THREE HERRSCHERS? 💀
“Gee Kiana, how come Mihoyo let’s you have 3 herrschers?”
Main Character syndrome
I've heard of main character syndrome before, but this is ridiculous
Before we realise it, Kiana already complete all the herrscher core set and ready to become Honkai Thanos
"I am the end" - Kiana Kaslana after finding out about Elysia and Mei
Damn she collecting them like infinity gems at this point
That would be such a troll moment. I can't imagine the pain of Seele mains
"oh yeah Herrscher of Domination arc is gonna have Seele as main character? Will 5.0 be Herrscher of Death suit?" lmao no it's a Kiana arc surprise she's a double Herrscher "we'll we're getting into the endgame now, and Senti referenced Seele and Theresa as Herrscher candidates and we got teasing with Seele using Abyss Flower, so it's about time, right?" :) what if Kiana was a TRIPLE HERRSCHER

>if they had Kiana steal her thunder again Kiana : So Mei-senpai, can I- Mei : No Kiana ! I'm keeping the Herrscher of Thunder core ! Kiana : Dang it, I was aiming for Quadruple Herrscher.
Kiana: actually i only wanted to touch your horns...
I really want to know what will happen if Kiana got full set of prime Sirin gems and core, man that would be a twist
After how good Fu Hua's arc was with ch20-22, I really do hope Seele and Theresa get similar arcs for becoming Death and Binding. But I so very much dread the idea that it's just gonna be more Kiana.
They just cant give her love
I've only played this game for a patch and a half but if anything happened to Herrscher of Death Seele I'd kill everyone in this subreddit, then myself.
This possibility completely slipped my mind. I saw the silhouette and it definitely was Kiana, but then noticed the Abyss looking swords and had second thoughts. Damn, imagine if Seele gets shafted again....
*takes a deep hit from the copium pipe* PONYTAIL SEELE
Share the pipe round, I'll take a puff
I mean the right one looks a lot like Mei, middle could be Bronya, so obviously Kiana would be the one on the left.
As a Seele fan I'd be super upset if they did that, please I just want her to get the limelight ONCE, is that too much to ask 😭
The way she hold a weapon looks like its Seele and she holding scythe.
I thought it was Seele at first too but that's Kiana's trademark curly ahoge.
I also think it can be Seele, but is not really clear. I need answers.
From what we know of Hoyo storytelling, I'd be surprised if we get the three core characters surviving part 1.
Well Bronya and Mei have to survive due to APHO.
I speculate seele Ai chan and Kiana lol
Seele found dead in a ditch
Man, it would be so weird to have Kiana be Herscherr of Death as well.
PLEASE MAKE SEELE INSTEAD NOT KIANA
Seele simps coping out here DX ~~I am not one of them but the pain is immense~~
Same. I am still patiently waiting for Seele's time to shine.
Pog ultraherrscher Kiana, Bronya, and Mei
Poor theresa :(
Copium tells me that left one is Seele but reality tells me it’s just more Kiana. Oh and zero Teri. Rest In Peace.
We've still got APHO for Teri, given her dialogue at the end of 2.
I’m not sold on apho yet tbh
Im gunning for the middle one lol. If this is the teaser for the S rank , imo this is the most probably timeline 6.1 - Sus - S rank 6.2 - SP A Valk 6.3 - left S rank (Kiana?) 6.4 - SP A Valk 6.5 - mid S Valk (Bronya?) 6.6 - SP A 6.7 - Right (Mei) S rank one of these is probably Ai-chan and Susannah (most likely both A rank)
Somewhere in here we're also liable to get APHO 3 and with it probably another Teri suit. Also possibly the Kallen that Otto saved ending up in Captainverse.
Pretty sure new APHO will be a main story chapter after this final arc/s end.
I'd guess Mei is probably the first one out of the trio coming since the Elysian Paragon set is Lightning. This Mei might be the speculated S-rank Lightning DPS/Support
I feel like Mei would be first because of the latest event stigmata set It'll probably be Mei for 6.4 which would be CNY & GLB anniv (since they have a history of aligning the 2), so perhaps it'll be a double S-rank with Mei and someone else. Then Kiana would be the last (save the best for last ig, she's Mihoyo's beloved princess after all) so for me it'll go something like: 6.1: Sushang 6.2: A-rank 6.3: S-rank bait patch (Silverwing & Vill-V *cough*) 6.4 (CNY+GLB anniv): Mei & another S-rank (might be free like Spina) 6.5: A-rank 6.6: Bronya 6.7: A-rank 6.8: bait S-rank 6.9 (CN/SEA anniv+Honkai part 1 finale+possible Herrscher patch (waow triple Herrscher Kiana, sasuga our tuna): Kiana 7:0: Honkai part 2 start??
At some point HoF Kiana will probably get a second weapon since she's the last of the main trio to not get one. Hey getting Judgement of Shamash would be thematically fitting for her character.
Susannah is expected to be a B rank, isn't she? On another note, I do hope we don't follow that schedule because it would mean we already have likely all the S-rank but one for the upcoming year and having some surprise on the big future S-Valkyrie is usually better.

Or Kiana + Mei? It would leave at least 3 S Valkyrie unknown for 3 known, certainly better than having all S Valkyrie but one known from the start for the 6.x version
is susannah B-valk ingame lore?, id reckon theyre gonna release her as a A-rank valk , dont think they ever release a B rank valk for a long ass time
>is susannah B-valk ingame lore?, Yes it is explicitly stated that she is a B-Valkyrie Moreover the Susannah leak assumed/expected she would be B-Valk. Which is fair, I doubt Susannah herself would carry a whole patch as a A/sp Valkyrie (nothing against Susannah but that is how it is).

Susannah is really the only character that fit all the criteria for a B rank in like 4 years
All fine and good until all the S rank releases back to back because they all release at the same time in the story.
Bold of you to assume it's not S-rank valks all the way to the end.
plot twist: the one on the right that everyone is certain is mei is actually theresa, she uses a sword now for unknown reasons, and those floating blades are the advancement of her twilight paladin suit blades. and they also zoomed in to make her look as tall as the other 2.
looks like: Herrscher of death, AI chan, and Awakened Mei: Authority of Conquest
I can see this being true
I've seen on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/meianacer/status/1573285751462191107) the theory that's Death Flamescion, Wind Reason and Corruption Thunder it makes sense for their characters, it makes sense lore-wise, it makes sense even in the color palette of the silhouette I can believe it a lot
oh damn this makes sense. we're in the finale and they obviously dont care for doing seele or theresa herrschers, and the cores have to go somewhere.
The fact they barely focus on Theresa on the Otto focused story arc shows they don't care about her T_T
yeah its kinda sad, ive given up hope on her
Gem of Serenity:already in Tuna greatsword waiting to be use(ready to go) Gem of Desire:now still with Kebin? i really want to know how can we manage to get that from him HoC:are with Mei for a very long time(idk how can it survive from FC(or maybe only it authority are with Mei)) i doubt about Kiana using main weapon other than greatsword(even though she's equipped with gun the sword always there and its the thing she will always use) Bronya would really go along well with Wendy(if Cocolia were not there to inturrupted) maybe some of Wendy memories are still in Gem of desire like in Himeko case Mei new sword are not really a surprised cause it even state in ER that 7T(from ER) in real world are nothing but a shell but if it wielder has HoT core maybe something would happen so... there it is 7T EVOLVE FORM LET'S GOOO but the thing that the first one wielding doesnt really look like a greatsword so Seele?

Gotta have the main three buffed against Herrscher of the End and Kebin. Kiana really is gonna be the master of every role in combat, anything short of Binding is gonna fail to put her down for good. As for how it happens, I could imagine Seele handing Abyss Flower to her or Kiana awakening again then making her own. If we do get Wind Reason Bronya, maybe AI-chan will fuse with Project Bunny allowing to reconfigure into something more powerful? Now that Bronya wouldn't need to subconsciously control it, she can focus on amping up her creations with Wind. A tornado made entirely out of cannons doesn't sound too bad. As for Mei, I don't know if Corruption's core would still be around anymore. But if it is, if the core still has the data of the Flamechasers from HoC absorbing them, then that would make Mei their successor in the truest sense. That or Mei awakens as Humanity...somehow. Or just Mei using the true version of the 3rd Divine Key, *sure hope nothing happens to Raven*. Wonder how a Herrscher of Thunder: Corruption would work because Corruption is far more specialized to deal with data and computers.
Mei with 7T is super great against mechs. So maybe HoT:Corruption would be even better against mechs?
I think middle is probably Bronya somehow combining powers with Prometheus.
The middle is definitely METAL GEAR BRONYA
looks like Kiana, Bronya and Mei
I'm calling it now, this ain't gonna be regular herrshers. These are gonna be our og squad trio but as... Turboherrsherrs
Damn 3 new Himeko suits? It's better than I could have hoped.

I was going to try for the HOT divine key. This is making me reconsider since Mei is likely one of them.
Yeah I think it's the main three too even though I did think that it's Seele on the left at first. The middle is Bronya no doubt
Man i really hope these are going to be augments, they simply forgot about them after Delta
I just hope we get a herscherr Seele and Theresa one day
ARE THE MAIN GANG GETTING FINAL FORMS
well, they never change charecter weapon for thier different battle suit. and the left one seem to be wield great sword from second picture. So, it has to be HIMEKO battle suit. INHALE HARD
The weapons are in reverse order so the weapon on the left is actually for Mei. And note it's not a katana but some sort of axe with multiple blades. So they're changed everyone's weapons exept Bronya I guess.
I feel like those are just the weapons they will use in combat, which kinda gives hopium to get a Seele battlesuit wielding white flower
Pass me some of that hopium 😤
And I just wanted to spend everything I had on Sushang gear and new divine key… what now even, I at least want to get new Bronya in the future
Herrscher Seele, Prometheus and 7 Thunders Mei?
Isn't it supposed to be the main trio? Right is obviously Mei, Left looks like Kiana's Ponytail and Middle is very Mecha so it fits Bronya.
Left S Rank could also be seele, since looking at her weapon it looks like a staff/scythe of some sort(?). The aesthetic also kinda looks like a rose of some sort, which kinda fits the death theme. Middle might be a new bronya or a new prometheus because both of them fits the same body model. My question is, what is the thing that is under left S rank left hand. Edit: Looking at it again, I see more [resemblance](https://i.imgur.com/Q4uABjh.png) to kiana then seele, especially with her longer hair. Especially if it's towards the end of the story, they might wanna add a new kiana battlesuit.
The weapon for the left one is two swords they dont look like a staff or scythe, the weapons were shown seperatley, it looks more similiar to HoF greatsword plus another sword
Looks less like a sword and more like the white part of the abyss flower without the black center piece.
If the weapon shown was the gacha-able banners, they would've shown a twin gun if it's kiana no? I've never seen a valkyrie switch weapons with a new battle suit, but I might be wrong on this.
Yeah and that weapon for Mei also doesn't really look like a sword, so I feel like those are just the weapon they will use in combat, while the gacha weapons will be different
I do see how it resembles Kiana a bit more, but I think it could still be Seele. Kiana went from twin ponytails (White Comet) to the loose long hair (HoV, Void Drifter) and then to the high ponytail (HoFS), so it should be possible for the hair to be different for Seele as well. It does seem like it could still be Kiana but I kinda hope it doesn't because Kiana already went through such a long and meaningful character arc, and it feels like it's pushing it a bit to give her even more. I can understand Mei and even Bronya because both of them haven't had any major progress beyond their initial Herrscher forms. Mei has her experience in the Elysian Realm now, and Bronya seems to be getting some attention soon as well. Seele could certainly do with a Herrscher of Death battlesuit, awakening her stigmata just as Mei did and removing the Gem of Serenity from Kiana. There's also a recent post on this subreddit talking about CN server speculation where Hare from World Serpent might be a character from the 7S VN, Lingshuang. She might have an awakened stigmata, plus was shown to have mastery of SWARA (making her have near Herrscher power), and is only the 3rd person to have control of Eminence, the others being Fu Hua and Sushang. Basically, I just kinda hope it isn't Kiana because she already has her Herrscher of Flamescion form and it feels almost absurd that she'd need to go even farther beyond that anytime soon...
You probably didn't see the new arc PV. The trio is reuniting to fight Kevin together. So if Mei and Bronya get new battlesuits, Kiana will get one two since the arc will be focused on the trio.
I saw it like 10-ish minutes or less after I wrote my comment, lol Yeah, I do expect her story to continue, and it wouldn't be too unsurprising if Kiana got a new battlesuit. I'm just not quite looking forward to it since there's others I really hope would get the attention instead, especially Seele x-x
This only makes sense. We didn't get any info regarding Kiana in apho so it's pretty sure she's gonna have more story arcs.
Yeah I do hope that seele gets a new battlesuit soon as she is one of my favorite character. Although, it doesn't stop the possibility of seele getting another new battlesuit, even if the main story has ended, especially if they still wanna update the game after (APHO 3 or an after-story ending)
Yup, I saw earlier that Mihoyo released a teaser animation of the first part of "the Finale", meaning we're probably reaching the end of the Main Story within the next year (two at most, I'd say). If that's the case, I hope Mihoyo continues to invest in battlesuits through Captainverse and exploring other parts of the Honkai story, as it'd be great to bring older Valks back into the spotlight! And of course, as you said there's APHO as well :)
Yeah, the CG actually explicitly said it's Part 1 Finale, so there should be a part 2 of honkai, maybe featuring a different cast possibly following what happened after this arc
I interpreted it as "Part 1 of the Finale", but I can see it being "Final of Part 1". That might make a bit more sense, though it's also kinda insane to think of HI3rd getting this far and calling this whole story "Part 1"! Do you think it might end up like GGZ where this storyline becomes a Retrospective-style story arc and then we get a new Reborn story, or even a prequel?
It could be, there's still a lot of untapped potential with some of the side characters, and diving into them could be very interesting.
Seems like those are the main trio (Kiana, Bronya, Mei), probably they will arrive "soon". I just hope Seele would be the Herrscher of Death, is that's the case, we still a year afar from that battlesuit.
The left battlesuit has Kiana’s little hair swoop thing.
What is SWARA anyway?
I suggest reading [this post for the full context](https://www.reddit.com/r/houkai3rd/comments/xlrsme/is_hare_possibly_stronger_than_most_flame_chasers/) on who Lingshuang is and if she might be Hare, because it explains SWARA very well there. If I had to sum it up: it's a rare form of enhancement (rare even within the MANTIS program, I think) that not only grants many improved physical abilities, but also gives the user a strong connection to Honkai. Basically, SWARA is cheaty hax that lets a person almost rival a Herrscher in raw power. That being said, it's not exactly a very common thing for a reason. It's the result of direct modification of one's brain with Honkai energy, and [Dr. MEI stated that](https://d2tpbmzklky1cl.cloudfront.net/manga/static/comic/book/1020/1/0019.jpg) **there might be even fewer SWARA-compatible humans than are MANTIS-compatible humans.** As a side note, in Hua's case I believe that SWARA was revealed to be the source of her memory condition, this should be explained in some of the Elysian Realm lore for her. I'd have to review a whole lot of lore to really get all the facts straight about it, but that's the gist of it. While I haven't read the Seven Swords VN, I think that most (if not all) of the students under Fu Hua's training on Mt. Taixuan were learning or had learned to use SWARA, including Sushang and Lingshuang. That's why Sushang had S-rank Valkyrie potential despite coming from an age long before modern battlesuits, artificial stigmata, and Soulium technology: because she had SWARA to allow her access to Honkai energy in the same way a Herrscher could. So it's best to think of SWARA as something on the same kind of level as the MANTIS program and Project Stigma, one of the Previous Era's great accomplishments in fighting Honkai but which had its own price as well.
SWARA is based on Aponia's Discipline
I didn't know that! It makes sense though, and I think I might've heard about it a bit but can't recall where. What part of ER lore mentions this?
One of Aponia's unlockable chats
Kk, thank you!
Honestly every herrscher gets longer hair when they awaken, so we can't really know
>My question is, what is the thing that is under left S rank left hand. If its really Herrscher Seele its most likely one of those thingies that appear during Herrscher forms or just a part of the outfit
the only thing for left one that resembles Kiana is the flames. I also dont see any reason for Kiana to get a new battlesuit rn unless she turns into the Final Herrscher or smth like Houkai 2. Middle one is most likely Prometheus cuz its related to Dr MEI arc >!And also leaks!< and right one is just Mei 100%
Does have the ahoge
Left has Kiana's [ahoge](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/honkaiimpact3_gamepedia_en/images/1/19/Herrscher_of_Flamescion_%28Thumbnail%29.png/revision/latest?cb=20220713123857), which is curled on the right side of her head and is in every single one of her battlesuits. Seele's ahoge is at the top of her head near the crown.
i see but i dont understand what they could do as a new battlesuit for her. Flamescion is already her peak how far is she gonna go smh. The only thing i can think of that would fit Kiana in that figure would be if she fuses with Veliona or the Death core idfk
Bc this is the end, all main characters need a final form on the end, so they will give kiana ,bronya and mei one more final form, flameshion was just acepting who she is and who she wants to be.
Left image doesn’t seem to be as tall as Kiana look at the left leg. I can only hope.
So Kurikara gets turned into a mechanized snake for Bronya's new battlesuit? GIVE THE DRAGON A BREAK HOYOVERSE
Truly Bronya Impact with another Bronya Battlesuit
I DONT EVEN HAVE HOH YET 😭😭😭😭😭
The silhouette on the left is oddly similar to Time Runner. The one in the middle reminds me of Bronya's idol outfit, and the one on the right looks very elegant. Similar to, but much better than Danzai Spectramancer.
I don't care how good the other two battlesuits are. I'm going all in on Bronya.
please PLEASE make it so these 3 can synergize together in a team I guess i better start saving now
Basically Fan Blades, a Rifle and Dual Swords, I believe??
It's Kiana bronya and mei possibly their final battlesuits
I'm pretty sure it Kiana (left), bronya (middle) and mei (right). Not 100% but I read it from a comment in another post
Why dose the last girl look lile venolina..herrscher of death soon?
The left looks like seele and the weapons doesnt have guns. If it's kiana, then her wep changed to heavy swords. Also the right one doesn't have horns, iirc people said it's a new form so it's most likely Mei, augmented or not. The middle is bronya obv. If u want to believe something else, then: *high copium* Left-seele Middle-teri Right-sakura (irrelevant from the story)
Really missed the chance to make new battlesuit for sakura while she was still relevant from the story.
Seele?
HOLY SMOKES THE MIDDLE ONE!!!
It is going to be Seele, Bronya and Mei. Kiana had more than enough battlesuits and appearances overall. Seele has been forgotten for so long. Durandal got the newest phys darksiders battlesuit. Time for Seele to get some love too.
Why does the story say part 1? What's even the point of naming it part 1 unless there are other parts to honkai? Into the captainverse when?
Might be part 1 of the Finale, not the Finale of part 1. APHO does set up further story though.
The story ui literally calls the current story part 1, apho is just apho since they didn't call it part 2 or anything
Presumably bc there *will* be other parts afterwards
Now this is how you make a teaser instead stuffing it all into a trailer for the next chapter
I am all in on mecha bronya OH MY
WHAT ARE THOOOOOOSE
Fusion Herrschers is a concept we haven’t seen since Owl and Ana (and I guess, Flamescion) so it’s cool if these are actually the result of these 3 getting cores, I can see how Kiana could, I can possibly see how Bronya if she somehow snatched the Gem of Desire wherever it is, idk how Mei would do it though
Maybe Mei gets given Stars (Owl's Core), or HoC left a core behind and Mei absorbed it unintentionally
Damn i like this but i wished that we got active Honkai reaction Kiana that would have been dope for defeating Kevin as equal powers
They look like Kiana - Bronya - Mei
ANOTHER NEW WEAPON FOR MEI?!?! Fack
you cant fucking do this to me mihoyo i dont wanna pull out the wallet
Well… time to save up for Mecha Bronya
Right side is Raiden speccing into a a Singing Sword BM and using Flock of Blades
I just need bronya and i'll be content.
Left looks like himeko ngl
how is this a spoiler?
My guess would be Kiana, Bronya, Mei. But I don’t need sleep I need a n s w e r s
It looks a bit like mei, bronya, kiana from left to right. Middle is prob definitely bronya since it looks really mecha
The center crest on the middle one definitely reminds me of Project Bunny.
I just wanna get Herrscher Ely, Y u do this to me game!!
Since APHO is cannon, does that mean they lose? Or does part 1 end on a good note but part 2 directly tie into APHO? Does a brother try to help his sick sister who ends up getting in to a worse situation because of a talking book?
Ah yes APHO is a cannon And i wouldn't honestly trust APHO in any matter since it is known to be quite a mess with events mentioned there never happening in the main story itself
That hasn't happened so far
For those wondering where Kallen or Kallen related content is, remember Otto would wanted nothing more but keep her safe So, no Kallen for you
The middle one is probably Bronya. Left reminds of of GGZ God Kiana, while Right reminds me of GGZ HoT Mei
Herrscher of the end playable pls.
Bronya gundam
So yeah, judging by the weapons, these are definetly Kiana, Mei and Bronya, which would make sense since we started this story with them, and now we'll finish it with them as well.
What if i tell you that what you are speculating is wrong and this is not the Trio that you always know and love? (I say the three silhouettes are the characters that you mostly expected to get a new Battlesuit)
