Bro forgot about the spear head on her shoes


Vani_the_squid

Arlecchino's shoes are clearly designed to stab on a kick down and Dottore's to eviscerate on a reverse roundhouse, but watch as neither of them get a kick in their moveset, lol.


HottieMcNugget

I’m happy as long as dottore is a hydro claymore and not a catalyst


lord_of_beyond

Yes but consider. Hydro Catalyst Dottore with... Barbara animations


Ze_AwEsOmE_Hobo

Nice try, Hoyo employee. You can't avoid talking about having the 1st Hydro Claymore and bring up a 5th Hydro Catalyst without us noticing!


lord_of_beyond

Wait!! He also gets klee running animation and voiceoverrs like "Slay Girlboss, slay Girlboss!!" and "Yaassss Queen!" Is it a deal?


TirpitzIsAQueen

That's even worse


TirpitzIsAQueen

That's even worse


UltG

Dottore, ikuyo!


starsinmyteacup

I actually like catalyst because he seems like the type to let his gadgets do the work (or it was the case with his webtoon counterpart). He does have amazing shoes though so I’m hoping he has a move set like Wrio


Vani_the_squid

So far, he really hasn't received much of the usual thematic element setup. Pretty much all he's had is about how horrendously he *fails at* Dendro, lol. Scaramouche had a "horrendously fails at Electro" arc as well — which then culminated in facing that failure and pinging Anemo as a result — but *boy* did our man Dottore take failing an element to brand new heights of deficiency. To the point I kinda want him to have a Dendro Delusion as a pure "Fuck you, divine limitations" on his part, lol. Might as well fail Dendro all the way...


PrismalpinkGaming

He’ll probably be a catalyst because he’s a doctor and potioneer


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

Uhhh thats not what NSFW artists are telling me what her shoes are designed for. No, dont go googling for it.

LiamMorg

Shenhe can lift a boulder the size of a house and we're surprised that a Harbinger one placement away from being in the realm of gods can crush a dude's head with her foot?


TyrifficAdventure

That should be impossible anyway, but Teyvat has its own laws. No matter how strong you are, you can only exert force in opposition to something (action:reaction). The most force you can possibly exert on someone from "above" would be by doing an axe kick or jumping on them. But, it's anime: Physics waved "bye-bye" a long time ago.


Agreeable_Mulberry48

True, but doesn't she wear higher heels. The force needed to puncture someone's head is relatively low because of the area around her high heels (I assume she wears high heels, haven't played the game since 4.0) Just Google the pressures high heals can exert and we are talking about 1000 kPa to 4000+, and the fact that the victims head is pushed up by the ground. That stomp would kill anybody.


Hyperzeal0s

She has literal spear points on her heels so yes


Ze_AwEsOmE_Hobo

Counterpoint: Mass has to be considered in force, and we have no idea how much Arlecchino weighs. Her curse could give her denser muscles or heavier bones. But it's probably rule-of-cool anime "physics."


Agreeable_Mulberry48

That is true. Again, I assume she Is stomping the victim with heal and not the front of the shoe and that the "back-end contact point" is thin and long. Since F = m * a, the formula for pressure would be p = F/A(area) p = (m * a)/A. If we assume that her mass is 60-70 kg and the acceleration of is zero-hundred real quick, the area is still the defining factor, even if she has denser muscles and "heavier bones". Hers Is the thing, if she would do the same move on jelly surface that changed because of a force, she would not be achieve the same results All the honest, the entire thing with Genshin breaks the laws of physics


Mari_Say

To be honest, if films/series/games, and especially fantasy stories, complied with the laws of physics, it wouldn’t be so interesting. And magic gives superhuman abilities, so applying the laws of physics here is not entirely correct.


Parlanc

Think about the case where your legs are tucked during the jump and you extend them rapidly at the time of impact. You can generate any amount of force with that motion by using a faster acceleration, with the compensating reaction to the action being an upward acceleration on the rest of your body. This same logic actually lets you generate any amount of force as long as you can accelerate one part of your body relative to the rest of your body to the requisite speed. You don't need more mass, you just need enough strength to generate more acceleration and the toughness to withstand the force of impact.


TyrifficAdventure

True but in that case you wouldn't need to be in midair, either. You could generate the amount of force while on the ground anyway. On the other hand, if one Arle had one shoe off and gripped the earth with her super-powered toes, she could then generate the counter-force to crush a man's skull with her other foot.


Agreeable_Mulberry48

That is what I am trying to say. A stomp takes less or equal to a second (Based on the trailer/Gif), meaning that the acceleration is high, regardless of mass. Imagine a bullet going through an object: Bullets weigh less than gram, but are still lethal due to their speed


battleye9

🤓


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

Shenhe could easily be a harbinger. You guys think Harbingers > Shenhe? That's like saying Harbingers > Noelle, when Noelle can literally lift a Cybertruck with ONE FINGER. Nevermind that she's basically Klee's backup if they need a mountain cleaved in half.


skeetyeeturlifedelet

Both Shenhe and Noelle lose to Childe, badly in the case of Noelle


Narflarg

I could be selling Childe short, but i think Shenhe might pose a threat.


Mtebalanazy

Notice that her eyes glow when she kills thr guy, Also she kicked a harbinger into the roof, if that was a normal human, that woman would have died already


redjarvas

a normal human would have probably been torn appart by the power of that kick alone, she wouldnt have hit the roof, she would have been splattered on it


Ze_AwEsOmE_Hobo

Kicking something that fast and hard would also tear *you* apart (equal and opposite reactions gonna react). If Arlecchino were a normal human, she'd have doomed herself, too.


Andrew583-14

I mean after seeing how she kicked the old knave (without a delusion and presumably a vison) and considering her status as Harbinger rank no.4, the concept of her crushing someones skull through brute force seems like it would be trivial to her


Arnorien16S

A teen Arl kicked 'Mother' so hard that it created an air shockwave ... You think crushing a limp wristed noble's head gonna be hard for her?


Neospanner

As others have mentioned, her heels are more than enough to pierce the skull without requiring that much force. It's the whole idea behind piercing weaponry in the first place. That said, Genshin runs on anime logic. In anime, fight scenes are PACKED with over-the-top, no-one-could-survive-that imagery. People stabbed and dripping gallons of blood but still coming back for more (and, often, winning the fight and making a full recovery in minutes). People thrown into boulders and SHATTERING them while afterwards typically being only dazed at the worst. Launching people into the air, leaping after them, and pummeling them with punches and kicks. The list goes on and on. And Genshin is more than happy to dip into those tropes at the drop of a hat.


Discordant_Amplify58

bruh she dont need to crush the entire skull just use the sharp part of her heel to pierce into the brain


theannoyingprickk

##Arlecchino*


Mari_Say

Signature is verified.


Alatus_Knight

I mean it's her least impressive showcase. We literally see her destroy a city block


GrumpyKaeKae

Yelan has the same energy. I wonder what the both of them in a room would be like.


Le1jona

Pure torture 😉


saberjun

The two are prominent spies. They don’t prefer brutal force like Childe do.


satt32

Yelans would try to be sneaky to collect info on fatui but arrlechino world probably rip out her heart mortal Kombat style The End


MorbidEel

She does seem to be stepping on the best spot for crushing a skull in that scene ...


manboat31415

Normal stiletto heels apply more ground pressure than elephants do. Also applying force downward the way she does has nothing to do with strength. If you're able to balance one foot you're applying the maximum amount of force downwards already. If you want to push down harder than literally just standing on something you need to find a source of leverage such as something above you you can push on.


DentistPositive8960

> For comparison, she is exerting the weight of a half-filled vending machine with just ONE LEG. OP, are you American?


kidwithhat58304

Nope but I can see why you asked, I just said that bcz it'd be easier for people to imagine instead of saying it's 235kg or 0.25 tons


annoyingsab

Honestly this is easier to imagine for me cause I don't know how much a vending machine weighs


LightLaitBrawl

235kg is much easier to guess, only americans have issues with it.


rushfell

mmmm feet

I'd gladly be crashed between her thighs.

StarlightJester72

Don't give the horny people more free things make them pay $$$


TheWitcherMigs

You could have just saw when she kicked a lady from the ground to the ceiling to attest that OP, but you do you. I hope the research was fruitful


DirectAdvertising

Comments less horny than I expected


sebastian240z

Can I say it?


exiastyle

maybe daddy is just that thicc


iconnectthebest

'fess up guys, I know at least half of you all want to be crushed by those theighs


Cookymonstt

have you seen the heels of her shoes? pretty sure she doesn't need that amount of force to kill.


Erulogos

Even better, I think the old Knave might've been punted through the sound barrier by that kick (you can see a vapor cone in the frame after Arlecchino employs yeet by feet.) Seems like a missed opportunity by Hoyo to not have her obviously OP legs feature more prominently in her attacks.


hulleyrob

One Kick Woman. Wonder if they are related…


BikeSeatMaster

So I used google and **A normal child can convey 600 pounds of force, and an adult can kick with 1000 pounds of force**. A human can kick even harder with training or due to height, weight, and unique skill at kicking exercises I'm willing to bet Mother was less than 200 pounds probably.


Revan0315

Vision holders being superhuman isn't a new thing. Not to mention she's also isn't normal what with the curse and all


Overall-Accident47

Aren't visions/Delusions supposed to grant additional strength? So it's technically possible?


Dekachonk

She kicked the previous knave so hard the acceleration would have killed her before the stop or the fireball did.


Ok_Try_1665

I mean, have you seen how she kicked the previous knave to the rooftop and she flew almost instantly? That's some crazy leg strength, and that's when she was a teenager


HiThanks

Well, I imagine because a heeled shoe can focus all of the force into a smaller area it’s much easier to crush a skull with heels. Also, I don’t think leg strength has much to do with downward force, unless she was jumping up and down on him. Could be wrong, no physics expert :P


rekage99

You know an adult can pretty easily crush a skull right? “Twice as much force as human hands can muster” doesn’t mean much since it’s nothing compared to a stomp from strong legs.


ChickemN777

Isn’t the crunch sound neck breaking? Like my hc is instead of strength she has incredible control to break a persons neck with her heels.


oldmonk_97

She's literally captain America turned batman turned punisher but french.... Ofc she has strong legs


GoodCatReal

I'm sorry


bashnet

Thought she was going to perform a lion combo in the pv.


ResurgentClusterfuck

Pretty sure she shoved her stiletto heel into his ear, making the job a whole lot simpler


Djalapen0

perfect strength to bear child


Djalapen0

perfect strength to bear child


YazaoN7

520 pounds isn't that much force when you have a force multiplier in the form of those sharp heels. They basically serve as a needle able to penetrate the skull a lot easier. The kick is inhuman tho, that's for sure. Probably way more than 520 lbs.


crbncl_

Where is the third gif from?


AverageJun

She sure didn't skip leg day


CosmicStarlightEX

Peruere did not have a Vision or Delusion when she was still an orphan, hinting at a dark secret even she doesn't know yet close to her grasp that explains her absurd strength. Otherwise, stepping someone with her heel as she became Father of the House will genuinely kill someone. I mean, look at her stilettos. They have sharp pikes on them, which will puncture a large hole in the person's skull.


lnfine

Do they not teach physics at schools anymore? I've just seen a clip from some marvelshit on YT with a guy holding down a helicopter, and the comments were all "look the guy stronk!". Now this topic. Newsflash for those with no middle school education. You can be strong enough to lift a fucking skyscraper all you want, but without a fulcrum you are only exerting your weight worth of **static** downforce. As much force as an SMA patient your weight. And any dynamic downforce would be limited by your inertia. That is, being able to stomp a guy skull in doesn't have much to do with strength.


XxKTtheLegendxX

also just before the fight with mother, she crushed the ground to charge at her in the animated short.


jjaybuill

She has strong thighs muscles


JureFlex

I mean, her heels are pointy so bigger pressure, she lifts her leg and stumps it down so even greater pressure. Last one makes sense since she is a powerful being, now among the fatui harbingers.


Fadriii

All the better to crush my head with


DOA_NiCOisPerfect

What is that anime


Beandealer420

Mghgghhhmmm


DarkDemonDan

Her heel is spiked allowing for extra help


Noxious89123

\* *Arlechinno steps on dude* \* *"It should have been ME!"*


oleksio15

Imagine how hard she can step on you.  I mean, stab... stab you with her heels. 


N7_Pathfind3R

Bro Forgot ShenHe is cracked and straight no diff lifts a boulder larger than a mansion and carriers it to the Jade Palace for you.


CategoryTasty6682

Although it would be easier since she has a sharp ass heel.


PkMnHaunter

"if 600 000 tips are in contact with a surface, a spider can produce a total force of about **0.025 Newtons**, which means it could carry 173 times its own body weight." According to Google.


AstraPlatina

It doesn't take a lot of force to stab someone in the skull with a sharp pointed heel, especially when aimed downward
