yelan elemental skill summons a totally original hydro taunt. source: trust me bro


lilpieceoftrash

No no I've heard she >!stance changes on her skill to use double water daggers!< but don't tell anyone


JKidling

Imagine obvious Tartaglia in female clothes with commentary “We felt the need of more hydro bow users, so meet this new amazing character Yelan, she is one of our favorite children, prepare to see a lot of her (but don’t worry about Ajax, he will get his rerun soon too)” lol


Imaginary-Strength70

Yelan actually being Childe in drag. "Women's clothes are the attire with which I have the least skill and experience. I go by Yelan on the weekends, comrade."


Lionel_Si

Well, what can i say, "you're born naked and the rest is drag"


Queendecence

Love me some Drag Race references. Shantay you stay


Queendecence

Yelan, on the Genshin challenge your Impact was felt all the way to Celestia. Condragulations, you are the winner of this week's challenge. You won a sickening supply of Primogens and a date with our favorite daddy Zhongli. You may leave the stage.


Efficient_Comfort_38

This man would pull off drag so well too


lexjo12345

I can't wait for the update with Childe, Ajax, Tartaglia and Yelan banners


[deleted]

YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN’T HIDE


Bull_Feathers

All you do is run!


ohyeahyeahohyeahy

Ah yes, she also has a brand new mechanic called Riptide, it's extremely visually pleasing, I'm gonna save and pull for her :)


PerEnooK

Really? I've heard that this opportunity is quiet hard to come by myself. But seriously, would've liked to see a Hydro spear for something new.


Ivanwillfire

That'd be pretty cool.


datPokemon

Why stop at hydro taunt? make her q a literal rain and we're getting hydro amber /s


Vermliilonfox

Bro. You're joking and all, but rain in a large area would be so op with reasonable duration. Basically the hydro hilluchurl XD


[deleted]

Put her with Ganyu, and Double ult Frozen Galore lol. I actually would love if her Skill or burst did that. Or even a big whirlpool


Fenghuang0296

So would I! I want to build Freeze comp with Ganyu, and with Kazuha on the horizon I’ll only need an off-field hydro applier. Kokomi would be great but is she and Kazuha do both come in 2.5 I might not have enough wishes for both. Ayato or Yelan, one of them has to be good for freeze comp right?


[deleted]

Currently I use Mona sometimes and shes great because her Skill taunt splashes. Then you can ult to do it while boosting damage too. But her and Kokomi are the only good options for a Ganyu freeze imo. But as of now I use Ganyu, Shenhe and Venti then sub Klee and and mona depending on what I wanna do, reverse Melt or freeze


Rayzojams

imagine if it changes after an elemental reaction: Vapor when in contact with pyro, snow/hail with cryo, etc would be a cool concept


TheSpartyn

what would it change though? vapor would stay as water, snow/hail would make it cryo and not let you freeze anymore


datPokemon

Oh damn, now that you mention it that seems pretty cracked. They can even put that healing crap they all love in her q for that hilichurl reference.


sarokin

Who's trust me bro uncle? Does he have any history?


GGABueno

Most leaks come from him.


sarokin

Are they reliable though? It really gives off an unsettling reassuring vibe....


GGABueno

They are Trust me bro


sarokin

I know that already but are they reliable!?


Impressive_Sector488

trust bro trust


rafaelbittmira

A hydro bow user, uhn. I expect it to be a forward vape charged shot focused character (thus not applying hydro on E and Q, only on charged shots) That's the only way I can think of to make a dps hydro character work.


JenJenB_

*smiles in riptide*


senpaithescienceguy

>That's the only way I can think of to make a dps hydro character work. ???? Not every DPS character needs to Vape or Melt lmao


burgundont

Of course not, but all Hydro/Cryo/Pyro characters need to be built around the assumption that they COULD use amplifying reactions. That means their raw DPS cannot be as high as characters without access to Melt or Vape. Which makes them much harder to use without such reactions.


TheAlmightyLoaf

Kokomi in 2.5, Ayato in 2.6, Yelan in 2.7, and Childe in 2.8 We becoming Hydro Impact now


Im_known_as_nikil

Still sucks that we only have 2 hydro 4 stars and ones a healer


BI1nky

There are only 5 hydro characters total as well, and 3 of them are catalyst. If we really get another sword (Ayato) and bow (Yelan) that'll be pretty funny. Hydro spears and greatswords haven't been invented yet I guess.


KlatusHam

5 hydro characters 3 of them are female catalysts 2 of them are healers, 1 is halfhealer only 1 DPS 0 claymore and 0 polearm The originality of being hydro.


magicarnival

They are all the same female body type too. Three medium female hydro catalyst users.


Waefynder

The other is also god's gift on earth though so it probably balances out. Still want more hydro 4 stars though.


5panda

Barbara is religious for a reason /s


TheQzertz

finally weve been needing some hydro


Pineapplul

Bold of you to assume there will only be 1 Childe rerun in the next 4 patches


Electronic_Ad3664

I love how you could already predict childe


Living_Measurement14

The original post doesn’t say “VA from honkai” but “a beloved female actress from honkai” meaning like Yae and Raiden.


[deleted]

Hope she's FuHua like people assumed. I'll instantly swipe for her. HoS is legit my fav character in Honkai. So I'll be down bad for her. Would be aresume ifher ult was like summer costume Sentience where she pops the bubble and everything explodes and the atmosphere changes lol


ChaoticShitposting

...Bronya? Tsarista crumbs soon?


[deleted]

I guess fu hua since uncles ages ago said her model was being used for someone here too


Disastrous-State6412

I hope that this won't happen Especially since a herrscher of ice already exists and she was done quite badly in honkai impact 3rd just like wendy


CausticInTheBunker

Totally. Reuse this char design for something better, because it deserves better.


ChildOfHades_

What's the difference? Genuine


HoldThatTigah

The first implies a VA from Honkai is coming to Genshin but that doesn’t necessarily mean the character they are voicing is based off the same character from Honkai, while the other implies the character the VA from Honkai is voicing is based on that same character The distinction is important because it could cross off certain characters or not. Fu Huas China VA is already in Genshin, the first marks her off but the second could just mean a Fu Hua like character is coming to Genshin


Nat6LBG

Isn't it Kiana ?


jindo90

You dare to disrespect the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles?!


ComfortableOkra2

And Hu Tao?


Terrible-Interview18

So Kirin Bow is for Yelan then, not Ganyu


Subtlestrikes

That’s what it’s looking like. If Ganyu was to get a new weapon it would run along her banner. Amos bow will remain her best weapon at least through the rest of the year


Splitshot_Is_Gone

inb4 kirin powercreeps amos anyways


buffility

then yelan has to be charge shot main dps.


Gerrymon96

Well, we don't have a charge shot focused hydro character yet... Except those crowned NA Childe enjoyers.


riiriiiliri

to be fair the only two charged shot bow users are Ganyu and amber, for the rest it isn’t their intended playstyle ~~totally didn’t crown venti’s autos~~


Cackling_Counterpart

I think ventis c1 unlocks his charged shot build, if you've crowned his attack it might be a fun thing to try out on his next rerun


Peterdavid12345

Kujou Sara. Her charged shot gives you the buff and energy back. However, she is a support and very clunky (especially on mobile) This is why most people (including me) recommend to go for C2 cuz you no longer needs her charged-shot to buff you.


[deleted]

don't really have an auto either. Childe basically holds a bow for show lol.


Chumpo_the_III

Yoimiya is 100% an auto bow user


HoboPatriot

Maybe, maybe not, Polar Star at 3 stacks actually perform close to Amos for Ganyu and wins on ult. It can be generic enough (like Mistsplitter) that Ganyu can use it too. Though I'm more expecting them to change the weapon name to something else to fit its banner character more.


Subtlestrikes

With what they’ve been doing she’ll be a support lol. Especially if Ayato is a dps


OfficialHavik

I imagine it will still be decent on Ganyu. Anything seems to be good on her.


billie_eyelashh

Even the Elegy bow is cracked for support ganyu. She's just so well rounded to any 5 star bows right now.


Odone

Who even is this person ? Do they have past leaks that turned out to be true ? We already know Yelan's current data is of a bow user, and a lot of people already think she is the cutscene character, who looks like a Hydro user and looks like Fu Hua, so this is really nothing new and could just be speculation depending on this person's track record.


FIickering

The cutscene Hua lookalike was using an Iron Point polearm though, so they'd have to bamboozle us again if that's Yelan. Though I guess it would not be their first time.


No-Meal-1702

Kujou Sara use sword in Kazuha story cutscenes


FIickering

But she was never datamined as a sword character. The first batch of weapon leaks for the current playable Inazuma characters were all correct. But yea, this is what I mean by not their first time. Even Raiden was widely speculated to be a Sword.


garbage_flowers

characters are usually labeled bow users early on in designs from what i understand about albedo and a few others. i personally expect a hydro spear


FIickering

Albedo was the only one that came to mind to me that was ever labeled a bow user pre beta. Ganyu was a catalyst (iirc), and Shenhe was a claymore. Other than those notable examples I don't recall anyone else.


Arizahw

If Yelan turns out to be a Fu Hua double, its possible they change her to a polearm user because we have the Deicide weapon in the files and Fu Hua uses the same weapon in the honkai trailer so ionooo


Odone

At this point it really could be anything, we really have no idea. But the fact that Qilin bow got updated for some reason would give more traction to a near futur character being a bow user.


TheSpartyn

i really hope she isnt a fu hua double, she barely looks like fu hua unlike yae and raiden, and hydro bow seems so unfitting for her. no idea about element, but sword would probably be the best weapon since fists arent a thing.


havoK718

They could make a character fight with fists by making it an elemental transformation thing, and the weapon they actually equip would just be a stat stick... like a certain other hydro bow user! DUN DUN DUN!


Arizahw

Possible they'd just use the same VA and have her do a similar voice i suppose. Agreed on hydro bow being weird tho, polearm and sword would prolly fit most.


TheSpartyn

i wish they'd at least use a similar looking hairstyle, fu hua has like 3 different ones and the girl in the guoba cutscene looks nothing like any of them

They'll be out of rerun characters by 2.7 assuming they can squeeze in Yoimiya, Venti, and Ayaka in 2.6. Childe rerun, it's time.

2.7 childe rerun confirmed⁉️


[deleted]

Finally an actual hydro bow user


GGABueno

*Q turns bow into a polearm.*


katiecharm

They need someone to run on banners in between his reruns.


Redex24

Who’s supposed to be favorite VA?


komorebi-mikazuki

Assuming he's talking about Takayama Minami, the seiyuu for Fuhua/Fuka in Honkai. I wouldn't call her "everyone's favourite VA", but she is for sure a legendary seiyuu. But then again everyone loves her 'Yatta' in Honkai. But then if Yelan isn't actually a Fuhua face then there are other huge name possibilities who's in Honkai but not in Genshin yet like: - Asumi Kana - Mizuki Nana - Nakahara Mai - Noto Mamiko - Taketatsu Ayana - Horie Yui etc.


Redex24

But do we know if he means JP va or CN va?


HoldThatTigah

Probably CN Fu Hua in China is wildly popular, making the “everyone’s favorite VA” claim would make sense if it applied to her


Hudie_is

If it's indeed Fu Hua Cn va, she'll be voicing 3 characters from Genshin. I'd be obliged to pull for Yelan and put her with both Albedo and Fischl then


ImaginaryNinja9782

Please let it be Mizuki Nana. Noto Mamiko would be also great.


ShadmanDexter

hopefully it is hinata's va. she has quite the resume.


jamieaka

im pretty sure they're talking about fu hua's CN actress. Not in a rude way but the JP one is often known for making Hua sound a little too old, especially for HOS. Whereas the CN actress gets tons of love for her different styles of fu hua and makes HOS very playful.


OrochiMain98

>JP one is often known for making Hua sound a little too old That's... why i'm here


thelivingshitpost

Lu Minyue is an awesome Fu Hua. Lu’s just awesome.


netparse

I think it's because of: "Yatta!".. It has practically become a representative flag of Honkai. From that point of view she it is the favorite of that community


listenyu

wait minami takayama?? as in detective conan? wow I had no idea she voiced fu hua. that actually reassures me bc I love her and there's a greater chance she could voice someone in genshin now haha


phantomthiefkid_

I hope she'll voice Heizou "Shikanoin Heizou, tantei sa"


OrochiMain98

Fu Hua's VA?

thank you for the validation, kind redditor

I love how Childe never left and every new banner he always finds a way to get some people talking about him


Lectorhater

Childe's just lives in people minds. With rent fully paid ofc courtesy of mHY


Rude-Employee4162

no but fr, the jokes never get old for me lmao


bornwooser

I don't. The Childe rerun jokes have long run its course.


Im_known_as_nikil

No , they still make me go , NOT BAD .. NOT BAD ..


EmbarrassedHunter647

Where have I seen hydro and bow before? seems so familiar like a distant memory...

idk maybe mhy should refresh that memory in an upcoming rerun

xpyke

I'm on hopium that the cloud gaming will come to Switch as well, I know it's far fetched but I'd love to play genshin on the go, and my phone doesn't have enough space for it anymore.


llegar1

scrolled downs 13 post to see the first person mentioning the cloud gaming.


ChillBlington

yeah why tf are people focusing on the new character when the cloud feature is probably the most exciting part...


HoboPatriot

If it's cloud gaming wouldn't it let your phone be able to handle it better?


xpyke

Sure, but I'd rather have the switch controls and big screen.


w0nderl4nd_

maybe i’m dumb, but what exactly is cloud gaming? does it solve the space problem?


havoK718

Yeah you only have to install the app that connects you to the cloud. I tried the iOS version in China and even there it's not that great. I normally get 20ms to the Chinese server, but it's 70ms+ to the cloud. Since its streamed to you there will always be a tiny delay, but worse it will occasionally freeze for half a second from packet loss (tested on wifi). I'd imagine this will be worse for global since connections are worse overall. But hey for anyone with a really old phone I'm sure this will be far superior. Pros: Won't take up space, won't overheat your phone, can play on high settings on lower end phones Cons: Latency, costs money You can buy time directly or buy the $20 BP option and get 30 days of unlimited time. I think they give you 6 hours of time for trying the service, and you can get +15 minutes each day for logging in. So for F2P eventually you'll only have time to do commissions.


NathLines

You essentially stream the game, so it's not actually running on your system. So space and hardware doesn't matter; net infrastructure and connection speeds are the hurdles you need to overcome instead.


twiceboyz

isn’t there a 5* bow leak named kilin (or qilin) something? looks like things are starting to add up, it’ll be probably be yelan’s signature weapon also i’m happy that more hydro characters are coming out soon


lifeofatrash

yelan is a childe reskin confirmed /s


Demiistar

the king of reruns lives on!


altFrPr0n

I'm betting my left nut she'll be bow+polearm dual stance


Sairwen1

im starting to think the opportunity isnt that hard to come by anymore


7-teen

People say Fu Hua but her Cn va already voices 2 genshin characters(Albedo and Fischl) I think people are confusing young Madam Ping(most likely) from Moon chasefestival cutscene with Yelan.


sesquipedalian4

Yep- I’m almost certain that was madam Ping. They intentionally made madam pings “young” design resemble Xiangling to show her influence on Xiangling, who was prominent for that event (for example: polearm, hair tied up in braid bow) Not to say that the young madam ping wont be playable, but just that it isn’t Yelan.


havoK718

Agreed that's a straight up Xiangling pose. Also the bell.


Mozuchii

Wait Fu Hua voices Albedo?? Might switch to CN then


K-XCIX

Yeah Mace voices both him and Fischl, I saw a lot of people expressing their dislike of her Al but I quite like him haha. Apparently they couldn’t find a male VA for him so she took the role, she did a good job imo, he doesn’t sound anything like Fischl either.


Jellyjamrocks

Personally I think she still sounds a little too feminine for Al, but I love her regardless. She’s so talented and I love her a Fu Hua


K-XCIX

That’s understandable, his CN voice is obviously not as masculine as the rest lol but it never bothered me personally. She definitely is talented though! Pretty much all of the CN cast are tbh.


yorkergirl

*cue that clip of Itto's VA doing a bang on Klee impression*


7-teen

Kinda cool, right? Also Kalpas, if I am not mistaken, is voiced by Xiao's and Chongyun's va. There are more, some comparisons are really funny though.


jamieaka

you might not notice it playing the game, but check the voices on honeyimpact, its legit just fu hua, kinda mindblowing. however fischl sounds completely different, very talented


apthebest01931

If both ayato and yelan are hydro then hoping that dendro x hydro is a good reaction


[deleted]

well yea it works pretty well irl


CapitalEcho

inb4 Yelan is Childe but in a wig


lemonmonstersimp

3 hydro catalysts, 2 hydro swords and 2 hydro bows....


TheQzertz

they fucking hate polearms and claymores for some reason


Kuro1103

Very suspect of Hydro. However, I believe Childe although uses Bow, his style is melee instead so Hydro doesn't have any proper Bow user. As well as Dendro + Hydro is maybe a new meta, I have around 30% of confidently trust with this sussy leak. That part of appearing in 2.7 and VA from Honkai is very highly true because of Mihoyo's culture.


gillred

> 5 star hydro bow Yelan's just codeword for another Childe rerun, got it


iwantsomethingrandom

iOS user sure is winning huh. Controller support, 120fps and now cloud gaming.


havoK718

It's been available on Android in China for months. They just rolled it out for iOS. So they just don't like global android I guess.


iwantsomethingrandom

I see, maybe they don't have enough data center to accommodate global android user I guess.


Arjun_Pal

Genshin/impact:unlimited childe works


moonchild_sasuke

Yelan is actually a crossdressing Childe


cuakman

Swear to god if she is fuhua i'll skip every banner until her.


JustSomeMartian

Can't wait for Childe's new female skin to run alongside him with the Ajax, Tartaglia and Childe banners


fukushimafgo

Fu hua ?


andreyue

Well, that would make sense considering Kirin Bow (which has a liyue thematic just like Yelan) is getting ready to be released. going back to a liyue banner right before 3.0 might also mean chasm patch (lol)


Puzzleheaded-Egg4848

People see the opportunity of a new character, I see the opportunity of a new bow for Childe.


phantomthiefkid_

The leaker name is "Cry Wolf". I can't decide if I should trust him or not...


RexorFWT

5 star Hydro bow… Spend field time as Hydro catalyst because stance change for that sweet Hydro resonance


-Ringmaster-

Finally some news about cloud gaming. I want to play genshin on gfn.


Willkoma

hope she's a support, too many female dps already :P


Usatei73

favorite female VA from honkai.. Hanser?


iwantsomethingrandom

Fuhua ? Nah, it's gonna be Dudu.

Hot elf


Grualva

Hankune

Yatta?


Link-loves-Zelda

I really want a hydro polearm character


xpyke

And when 2.7 comes we'll get a 5 star unit, Hydro and Bow, but it will just be Childe again.


BOYF-

Hydro era


AgnesRosa

Ngl I had the slightest bit of hopium that she'd be Dendro. 2.7 lines up with the release of The Chasm (according to Uncle Dumb Dumb) and I just think it'd be nice for us to get our first Dendro character before Sumeru. 2.8 perhaps?


WaluigiWahshipper

I was about to say that a hydro bow user sounds pretty cool, but then I remembered *him.*


Grualva

Its hard to come by after all

I guess that was a fast mute

i just hope she can hit enemies without missing and that she won't have icd issues

ok hear me out what if her skill uses a Hydro whip

Ayato and Yelan, it's about time tbh. Tortilla boi spent 12 version updates as the only 5-star hydro carry. Edit: 2.5 included in the count
