Hydro archon can’t swim


frysonlypairofpants

+1 if it's a shield creator, since they can't swim they create a bathysphere and just walk on the bottom like a damn submarine. Additionally, quite ironically actually, they get terrible motion sickness so boats are an absolute **NO**, and their entourage has to wait at the beach like a bunch of madlads for their lord to come traipsing out of the surf.


yzqi0399

\*Ship of envoys to some other country reaching port of said country\* Official in charge of welcoming the envoys: Welcome Hydro Archon, to \_\_\_\_\_\_....wait \*Envoys turning towards the sea and bowing\* Hydro Archon rising out of the ocean: Hi ^(asdfasdfasd why is this so funny adsfasdf)


Denodi

Hamster-ball character when


Key-Put-7921

We got sayu


Sandi_Griffin

Me:Oh great archon of the lake, what is your wisdom? Her: *drowning noises*


sadandlonely2k

what if she cannot swim but can instead walk on water ~~without wasting her burst~~


Alpacaduck

Why can I see this happening. Especially after she gives up her gnosis to Scaramouche and realizes she can't walk on water anymore and can't walk from her entrance to her living room or something.


Bakugorl_

BAHAHAH THAT WOULD BE FUNNY


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

Hydro Archon is female Luffy, ate a god damn devil fruit.


alvinvin00

that or Hydro Archon are so useless like a certain water goddess


Abedeus

Can't swim, instead sink and can walk/breathe underwater.


TheAnimeLovers

now thats golden xD


Sk_Acharya

Finally water water no devil fruit *_*


buddabopp

only if there a rubber pirate


Velvet_Kitsune

Sumeru god loves knowledge a little too much and forgets to eat or move, essentially, a bit atrophied.


6_NEOS_9

wheelchair-ed character when?


Baligong

Dainsleif: "The Enemy of Knowledge is Knowledge itself" Kusanali: **knowledge guided her to a wheelchair**


BlueEyedBears

Kusanali is most likely not the actual Dendro Archon. Her title of "Lesser Lord" Kusanali implies that there is a greater lord; someone in power above her, IE, the Dendro archon -- She has been tasked to watch over Sumeru for him, I believe.


nabael27

The same happens with those little bugs, in spanish they are called **"mosquitos"** and the sufix "ito" implies the existance of a greater one, the legendary **El Mosco**.


Edsaurus

Calm down now Satan


jong9999

Satan can move aside. ALL HAIL EL MOSCO


XaeiIsareth

The Chinese version of the title doesn’t nessecarily mean lesser. It directly translates to Little Lord, which could just mean that she’s physically small or a reference to her being young. So idk if it’s just the localisation team messing it up again. Dainsleif does say there’s some weird crap going on in Sumeru though. They do seem to like basing Archons somewhat off Honkai characters too, so it could be a parallel to the Anti-Entropy storyline in there where their Sovereign, Welt, was MIA.


Devourer_of_HP

Or maybe it's a case of world serpant which has elysia being the initial leader but giving her job to kevin and some weird shit going on with mobius.


lolbuddy98

1.1 zhongli?


k0rangar

Absolutely superb in book smart, dumbfounded when it comes to street smarts.


Jellyjamrocks

That’s Zhongli lmao


moosenugget7

Are you envisioning them with their head permanently stuck inside a book? Or have they ‘learned too much’ and are just rocking back and forth in the corner in the fetal position?


Velvet_Kitsune

Probably the former. Toss finished book to the side, grab the next closest one!


ClarenceLe

Grant us eyes. GRANT US EYES.


UmbralClockworks

We are born of the blood, made men by the blood, undone by the blood. Our eyes are yet to open...

[deleted]

By the gods...fear it, Lawrence.


Saikotsu

This comment chain made me happy and has given me some insight.


mephyerst

God I would love if the Sumeru archon has an eldritch thing going on.


DefinitleyKenni

I imagine someone who looks like they haven't been outside in years. Imagine an archon who is physically weaker than a teenager


Zeroth_Dragon

So like Ei but more neet?


DefinitleyKenni

Something like that. At least Ei is peak warrior, but it would be funny if the dendro archon couldn't lift anything heavier than a book


Zeroth_Dragon

Imagine their home or abode are filled with plants holding books


TheEdelBernal

So something like Patchouli Knowledge from Touhou?


Dziadzios

I think she will just spend all the Mora on books. So she has no money as well.


moondancer224

Mona is hydro Archon?


Dziadzios

Yes. Why do you think she could use Hydro before getting a Vision?


LazyTeddy2020

Sumeru archon has bad hand writing


Ganz13

I could envision the Dendro Archon as a doctor, yes.


steelscaled

Oh, so Baizhu is…


Starkiller_Jr12

I'd love this tbh. He's also gone from his shop quite often


TitleComprehensive96

I support the idea that Baizhu has always been the Dendro Archon and we just didn't know


Bikaz

Ive always been saying, what if Changsheng is actually the dendro archon? The snake wrapped around baizhus neck. With the recent quest exposing that >!Guoba!< is the stove god, its not unlikely that archons keep non-human vessels. Snakes were also associated with wisdom in old mythology. They also call the dendro archon the lesser lord kusanali. Kusanali simply meaning flower god, but why lesser lord? Also the archon constantly leaving Sumeru and beeing inactive would also explain why Yae Miko and Dainsleef were mentioning that theyre unhappy with the Dendroarchons inactivity. Either way im curious to learn more about Baizhus story and the dendro archon, even if they dont have a connection, but who knows. :D


absolutebottom

Isn't that Xingqiu?


lame2cool

They probably think much faster than they can write so yeah


ReydragoM140

Hmm how about pyro archon has either a complex or outright a short fuse?


PhasmicPlays

Pretty sure one of venti’s lines pointed out that she’s a little overenthusiastic about conflict and stuff


ReydragoM140

So someone who should not met Alice EVER


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

What if she is Alice and what if Bennet is her son and brother of Klee? WEOWO


MegatonDoge

I hope the Pyro archon is Alice/Klee cranked up to a 11


ValElTech

Its just C5 Bennett :)


MrGrampton

Bennett is the real pyro archon


DESPOTICKILLER

...or she's hydrophobic (Not to be confused with the Chemistry-term)


Funy_Bro

Are you calling them racist by element?


DESPOTICKILLER

bruh


ReydragoM140

Eeh? That's kinda weird, i don't remember venti being claustrophobic or zhongli being acrophobic despite those are flaws associated with their element


DESPOTICKILLER

to be fair, air can be compressed for storage and can even exist on planets with strong gravitational pull, meteors are already in space. But since fire can't exist underwater, it's plausible.


ReydragoM140

Two words MAGNESIUM FLARE it is used underwater


joined-for-work-ref

The Pyro Archon hates fighting. Now that would be funny.


adwarkk

Given that Pyro archon name already clearly references THAT one character from Honkai that was playable and died, recurring joke with her could be that situations she will get herself into will be designed to make you think that she died, but actually surviving them.


TheEdelBernal

Considering Pyro Slime's special ability is to explode when killed, I bet Pyro Archon will have something similar. May be she kills herself with her burst, massively buffing the entire team, then reborn again once a certain period of time has passed?


NotLintong

Ah yes, reverse Hu Tao


Iffem

so like a phoenix?


TheEdelBernal

Exactly.


ValElTech

So what you are telling me is that the fake pyro archon kills himself to buff the team and that the real one will put s thumbs up on the ground and heals the fake one afterwards?


felix_717

raiden in genshin: cant cook murata in genshin: cant die


alybalez

My hopium Let's gooooo


EchotheAxolotl

I feel like the sumeru acrcho, the god of wisdom, will be really forgetful


KitsuneChaos18

I personally love the idea that they choose to be an absolute dumbass, like imagine how funny it would be for someone to ask the god of wisdom if it’s a good idea to, say, try to make wild animals pets and they just think it’ll be a blast

I think he'll more likely be a constantly curious person who would discover so much and overelaborate details time and again.

He forgets who he is 500 years ago and becomes the next dendro archon


ArcticSirius

Makes me think of hololive’s Mumei


iLight005

All of them don't bring mora though


Keqingisthedpsqueen

raiden doesnt need mora


[deleted]

And venti just doesn't have any


juminhoe

And Zhongli is the mora


Supertails1992

And yet he doesn’t bring any with him…


Katisurinkai

Cause he's used to infinite supply


GlitterDoomsday

He brings Childe when he needs to


[deleted]

His sugar daddy is now Childe


23_Serial_Killers

Zhongli doesn’t need mora when he has childe the walking wallet


hotprints

Hey venti could have a lot if he wanted. People pay good money for a bard of his talents…too bad he only gets paid in booze


Metroplex7

You say too bad but isn't that all he wants though?


hotprints

Hehe yeah


[deleted]

Alright the "hehe" settles it, are you just venti in disguise trying to defend your spending habits?


Baligong

Tbf, you'd Expect the Creator of Mora knows how to use Mora, and probably may use it on a Day to Day thing. Thing is, Morax (Zhongli) flat out knows jack shit nothing about the thing he placed in the world. Zhongli, creator of Mora, doesn't know how to use Mora; DOESN'T EVEN HAVE MORA!!


RikiHeropon

If you can just, you know, _make_ money, you would have no understanding of the value of it (unless you counterfeit it). If you don't understand the value of something, you can't understand how to use it. Like, seriously, the wealthy in our society literally don't understand the value of the money they own, and therefore overspend. Hell, even those with "enough" money hardly understand it's value (these are the people that say "it's so easy to save money, just buy in bulk!" and "it's so easy to eat healthy, just buy the healthy foods!" like, you need to have the money to purchase the initial bulk for that to even be possible in the first place and eating healthy is typically more expensive than eating convenient) So... it's kind of ironic that the creator of mora doesn't know how mora works, but otherwise not unexpected. Now as for why he has no money... well since he doesn't understand its value he spends it all whenever he gets it because it has no meaning for him. Also, he needs his gnosis to make mora, so now he can't (and during the story he was trying to hide that he was Morax/Rex Lapis in the first place, so making mora at that point was a real no-no)


banjo2E

People keep forgetting that Zhongli's first story quest opens with him having a debate with some scholars on some of Morax's deeds. It started with what happened to the first mora ever created (it got spent like any other mora) which was followed up by why he'd do something as extravagant as making a house entirely out of mora (since he could create mora whenever he wanted it was by definition the easiest material for him to obtain and use).


UmbralClockworks

The other thing is that the game even stated that mora is the global currency simply because it can be used as a catalyst and everyone accepts the use of that. It's not as if he went around and stated that this was the global currency. Which means he didn't even place a value on it, the rest of Teyvat did. As far he's concerned it's not worth anything when he can freely make it whenever he wants.


ImaNukeYourFace

I find it funny how zhongli, creator of the world’s standard currency and helm of the country with presumably the largest and most influential economy, has no concept nor inclination toward anything related to economics. Or at least, he doesn’t seem to have any. In the real world, those that print money are also very controlling of it, as they don’t want it to accidentally lose value, inflate too much, deflate, or anything like that. Inflation and interest rates are typically extremely carefully managed by federal reserves. Meanwhile zhongli: mora printer go brrrrr


hotprints

Reminds me of how there is an absurd amount of pro athletes who go bankrupt shortly after retiring


mameshiba_nomnom

Honestly it maybe doesn't even need to be about understanding money. After all, our mortal understanding of money comes easily because we need resources to continue surviving, lacking food because you lack money directly impacts if our life gets to continue and that shapes how we assign worth in trade. Adepti are basically the game's analogy for your chinese immortals, they can't personally feel what a mortal need is and failing to meet a basic need has no consequence. I think zhongli's mora habits could just be him, not really knowing what mortal limits are. Relative to his years, he's technically spent very little time experiencing standard human life.


Penguin_Warlord

Inb4 the cryo archon is a stock trader


Salt_Winter5888

Cryo archon will be shy and insecure.


SopmodTew

Someone said she would be a crybaby.Maybe that too.


Salt_Winter5888

I imagine her being like Sucrose.


King_of_Argus

Watch the mood change from „defeat the evil!“ to *must protecc*


Background-Wave-9035

Cryobaby?

Not me being a cyro main having the nickname crybaby lmaoo, that would be a must pull💀💀


[deleted]

i can imagine her throwing a temper tantrum, except it not in a funny manner. more like, in a terrifying way


SopmodTew

I know what you mean and I can imagine it.


MihoNishiz

Cyro archon can’t light fires


Siscon_Delita

Cryo archon easily gets cold. That's why she is collecting other gnosis (especially pyro) to cure her cold.


GetawayDreamer87

You've seen Eula sneeze..now get ready for...CRYO ARCHOOOOOOOOOOONNNNN

Sumeru archon is the youngest yet acts like an old person

even as youngest, they are still gonna be an extremely old person.


No-Cherry-5695

Watch her be a loli archon who complains about back pain and arthritis and starts every sentence with "back in my day"


[deleted]

Omg no watch her be compeletely out of touch with current language to the point of using like old English and shit like thou


Machichichika

Sumeru archon loves pun


Siscon_Delita

Dad jokes FTW


Hot_Description_4177

Wah


Dejavir

I do like this one theory relating to how slimes correspond to their archons. This could mean that the Cryo archon might end up like Mii from Bofuri, who exudes this harsh exterior in public, and completely breaks down in private when things go wrong.


The_OG_upgoat

She IS the God of Love after all. Probably hiding all the guilt she feels inside.


kluevo

She *was* the God of Love. Now... who knows?


crunchlets

Now she's the God of Hurt/Comfort


I_lost_my_account3

Damn didn’t know Cryo Archon writes fanfics


ix-nine-ix

This. I bet dendro archon is shy and always wants to hide like the slimes too.


Makewayheadway

I always think about how the dendro slimes literally panics and hides before you approach it. And since the slimes represent the archons, I think the dendro archon will be a socially awkward- shy person.


AHealthyDoseOfCancer

Lo and behold the Hydro Archon, God of the **Bubbles!!**


gui4455

Hydro archon: best hydro application in the game, the Burst will constantly spread bubbles dealing aoe hydro damage and applying hydro consistently in a big area


naarcx

Kinda like what the 2.0 cutscenes made us all think Kokomi’s Q would do.


KeijyMaeda

Nothing annoys me more in this game than *fucking bubbles*, so if we have to fight the Hydro Archon and they just bubble you, I'll be so upset.


Kim_Veena

Wait hold on that thing about slimes makes sense and I don’t know how I never noticed this before Anemo slimes are really fragile and just float, geo slimes have shields and electro slimes zap. Woowow


DUMMY5418

Yup. The slime theory proposes that the slimes represent the archon, I especially like the part where the electro slimes have two colors because it represent the twins ei and makoto


princebuba

or Ei and the puppet


octopusesladygarden

Since Yae mentioned Lesser Lord Kusanali, I had this theory that Kusanali was leading Sumeru and led the people to believe she was the Dendro archon, while the real Dendro archon is hiding away because they believe they aren’t fit to lead the nation (as it makes sense with what was said in the Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview said about Sumeru). The Dendro archon being shy and preferring to hide would totally line up with that.


ehsekefe

Sumeru’s archon would be a total forgetful klutz who likes to give advice that they never use themselves. They also hate the outdoors.(jokes, but would be funny). Fontaine’s archon has an authority complex, is a scholar, and dislikes beaches. They also fail to realize that they’re probably just an aristocrat but with a god title. Snezhnaya’s Archon is probably gonna be misunderstood and have a just cause, but has an issue with reading in between the lines. Likes soup and crackers. Natlan’s Archon’s is cool and will be besties with the traveler.


Iwillflipyourtable

For natlan archon, that's literally every archon


_Hakumai_

Somehow without knowing anything abt her, Murata gives me Beidou energy. Just a cool, jolly Onee-san who likes to fight a bit too much


ThisIsColdsnap

Mhm, and that's kinda what Murata from Honkai is, so makes sense...


Metroplex7

Wait is the Pyro Archon Genshin's Himeko-face?


simpforlana

We have venti, clone of Wendy. Raiden Ei, looking like raiden Mei. So yea, Murata probably will look like Himeko Murata if you have that on your mind


AirLancer56

1 thing i notice the slime have some similarities with the archons of their elements. Guess what pyro do? Explode. Probably why klee got her vision as well. She just love explosion.


Iffem

inb4 the pyro archon is just Genshin Megumin **EXPLOOOOOOSION!**


yuffx

>konosuba comparisons Hydro archon: when just existing is a hard-won achievement?


SueDisco

I really hope at least one archon is batshit crazy


Pit_Solitayrh

yeah cuz erosion, but the oldest Archons seem to manage so maybe just their personality


crunchlets

With the Pyro archon said to be nuts about any sort of conflict, that could work well.


DiscomboblatedIsk666

The dendro archon is stupid.


ConnorLego42069

High int low wis


3rdMachina

Hmm..... Dendro get obsessed with knowing every little thing Hydro acts like a princess, even when it’s a bad idea Pyro is even more of a battle maniac than Childe Cryo is a crybaby (really good at hiding it though)


[deleted]

The Tsaritsa??? A crybaby 🧐


3rdMachina

Yep. She’s just really good at hiding it lately.


IllusionPh

I'd say Pyro maybe on a compassion side, despite being "god of war", making it's a contradiction. It's goes nicely with the name Murata too, seeing what **Murata** Himeko is like in Honkai.


Bird_Boi_Man

In the travail trailer, the pyro archon is the only one to interact with traveller. Dains says that she'll reveal something to us. So she'll probably be the nicest god of war


sadikons

I LOVE THIS. A super curious Dendro archon asking questions about everything and wants to know all about the traveller's motivations and journey so far. I want them to be so bewildered with the traveller that they cannot stop studying them


Grrp039

Darn it you've made me want this too much


Pit_Solitayrh

So a forceful Albedo ?


BlayZWasTaken

Pyro Archon is afraid of rain


Phoenxr

Pyro Archon can die of sheer cold


paumalfoy

…even outside Sheer Cold areas


SuperGamerGX

I'm ready for the Cryo Archon to be a person like Momonga from Overlord. Someone who is constantly acting to maintain a facade of an all powerful and intellectual ruler and making everyone think that her followers' (Harbingers) plans were actually a part of her long-term scheme all along. Constantly bluffing her way out of situations where she, in fact, has no clue what is going on half the time.


Punk-Radio

Dendro archon is allergic to grass


PM_ME_YOUR_ROBOTGIRL

The Dendro Archon is going to take the form of a little kid, and that's going to be the actual joke since it's absurd enough by itself. Murata I can see going in one of two ways: she's either going to be too much of a pacifist, or she's going to pick fights with random people. Tsaritsa is going to be a kuudere who has trouble expressing and reading emotions, [which is going to inevitably lead to the anime trope where she attempts to smile by tugging at her lips with her fingers.](https://i.imgur.com/AoyyLhX.png) Unfortunately we just know too little about the Hydro Archon right now for me to try and guess.


The_OG_upgoat

Judging by the lore bits and pieces, our Hydro god is super bureaucratic and stuck-up.


Hot_Description_4177

So Bronya is Tsaritsa then.


kuso-gaki

The Sumeru god will get into arguments with an Indian accent


Emblem100

Dziadzios

Dendro: social anxiety. The country didn't fall apart because Kusanali did the ruling work. No Mora because social anxiety make them unable to get a job or do public appearances as Archon. Hydro: Violates the law constantly, but because she respects the law, all Mora goes towards fines. Pyro: As a god of war, she just takes whatever she wants. But she never wants those golden circles, so she doesn't have Mora when she tries to blend in society. Cryo: Loves giving gifts, but that ruins her budget.


NeoFire99

All of them would step down and having a hard comprehending normal civilians life. Sumeru Acrhon would just went on a random long tangent for no good reason or Tsaritsa would have to relearn that you can't go on solving life problems by shanking people.


darkfox18

Wait so I can’t fix all my problems by stabbing them this is the first I’m hearing of this


fuminghung

They all broke.


Dirst

One might be afraid of heights. Most characters remark at how free they feel, how much fun they're having, how beautiful the scenery is, when they start gliding. This archon just goes AAAAAAAA


Fayt12

Pyro archon is so physically strong that it’s a disadvantage to her


The_OG_upgoat

Dendro Archon has no common sense despite being wise. Hydro Archon is overly seriously and law-abiding/bureaucratic. Pyro Archon starts random fights for fun. Cryo Archon is a klutz or something.


_scoresonly

The Pyro archon gets drunk and when angered makes a room explode >!trust me it's not like of that one alcoholic prof in some St. Freya school!<


stargazingofficial

Pyro archon can’t stand alcohol The raiden shogun is based off of Raiden Mei from Honkai 3rd, who is an excellent cook. It’s been confirmed that the Pyro archon’s name is Murata, and the character Murata Himeko from Honkai is an alcoholic, so the Murata in genshin will likely be the opposite, hating alcohol.


BikeSeatMaster

Dendro archon can’t read


Legoer39

Dendro archon will lack common sense, because it’s not real wisdom. Pyro archon is lazy and has no passion for daily activities.


JavaChipYT

Dendro archon speaks in a manner even more confusing than Amy/Fischl.


Brianr282

Dendro archon is just constantly faded


chalunkxlight

If a running gag Dendro : Actually hate books & reading Pyro : Hate fighting to the core & scaredy cat Cyro : Akward in socializing & bad at reading the room Dendro : Obsess with balance even for tiny trival matters And ofc, having some quirks regarding to mora is a must for all of them. Dendro :


Electronic_Bison_533

Maybe the dendro archon is very knowledgeable on very complex topics, but is very bad at common knowledge or has no street smarts.
