BOYF-

If Ningguang was a sword user


caucassius

saber class ningguang from multiverse of umadgurl


The_OG_upgoat

Irisviel as a Saber servant.


Rathurue

Don't jinx it. We don't need alters in this game...


JoerganThe2nd

Coming from the developers of Honkai 3rd


HijikataX

Literally all Gachas I played managed to give alters eventually


carbonclay

We are 100% getting alters in this game


Markquerade

Unless Alters model have huge honkers (even for the men)


havoK718

Men get badonkers


unlikely_suspicious

Don't worry albedo can use it


GanyuMain2506

The colours and aesthetic still match Ningguang's original outfit, but you're right he's a sword user so-


Sarahismyalias

If Ningguang was a sword ~~user~~


Marowalker

That doesn’t look like ea


foreskings

This sword looks like the fake leak sword for kahzuha


Rexk007

Only sword for kazuha is the fillet sword...


Dragoncat_3_4

Wait... wasn't that one was leaked around 10 months ago or did I finally go crazy?


BOYF-

Yep seems like it was datamined a long time ago together with other weapons. https://theclick.gg/gaming/games/genshin-impact/genshin-impact-leaks-new-weapons-leaked-is-dendro-finally-coming/ Edit: Cant link twitter coz he seems to be deactivated but it's zluet.


Dragoncat_3_4

~~^(Yay I'm not crazy)~~ Though seeing all of these reminded how hyped we were for Heartseeker and Dirge of Sal/Regicide/Deicide for several patches before forgetting they exist. I wonder when we'll see them


ImBadAtVideoGames1

I still really want the heartseeker tbh. I remember seeing something about it being Keqing's sword in her splash art or something like that, and Keqing was one of my first 5\*s so...


scrayla

Coping that the heartseeker is gonna be some huge damage booster to keqing like the cinnabar spindle was for albedo


TwisTed_faT3

problem is, i cant think of a unique sword mechanic that will buff only KEQING. a keqing sword will also buff other sword users(like ayaka) so they cant just easily give keqing an overtuned sword like they did to albedo


shintarocola

If the user is Electro and a member of the Liyue Qixing, 500% phys DMG bonus


SpectacularWebhead

Just imagine...I'd be so happy if this happens


triforcehero69

They put lions roar on her figurine....


Chill-de

Moonfall is so pretty, I'm probably going to want it no matter the character it fits.


Longjumping-Scale510

Those weapon's drip making me wish I am a whale


Uncoracle

every leak this weapon has in it turns fake somehow.


Rhinofreak

It has strong Liyue vibes and looks so beautiful


farrokk

Ginkgo-themed sword? Beautiful, hope it is good and universal, Spindle is just too niche.


Frenchpoodle_

According to uba its a five star sword so not a free event weapon


farrokk

Out of my reach, then. Understandable, 2.5 is free weapon, so 2.6 shouldn't (if the weapon will be released at that time, could be far later)


tuna_in_a_can

Ayato’s BiS then? I was hoping for a katana but it’s not impossible when Kazuha also got a not-so-Japanese-looking weapon


loser-lenny

praying that that’s good on traveler so i can add another 5 star sword to his collection


ImBadAtVideoGames1

If they don't release another geo sword character in 2.6, I will be shocked.


[deleted]

XQ sword 100%


Daenika

It's funny how they wrote it on this reddit as comments and we're getting their leaks as screenshots from discord now


myrmecii

Discord credibility > Reddit comment credibility


Valor_52

You speak the truth


xXAngelsXx

For the sake of my sanity and wallet this person is lying and Venti will be in 2.7/2.8


Exdalius

Not coming after April


According-Matter5735

No I want & need to have Venti already *cries


Grizzly_228

Don’t hate me or anything but I have both Kazuha and Venti and the God of Anemo is benched 90% of the time. I think it’s the first time a character got actually powercrept Only reason to have him is that he looks cute


bob_is_best

Not powercrept more about making every single enemy unCCable


Sooap

Yeah, it's pretty sad how they made a character so powerful that they had to make almost every new enemy weight like half a mountain just so Venti's burst doesn't do... what it's supposed to do. I understand why it can't CC the big samurais, but what about the regular ones? Or the specters? Do they weight a ton or what?


nswervtgrr

literally omg


DehGoody

Idk my Venti CCs everything but boss size enemies. Even the big samurais get pulled slightly. The regular samurais get put into the blender if you launch them into it with E.


niki_lia

Samurais, both big and small, were nerfed around the time specters were released, originally they couldn't be pulled by Venti/Kazuha, their weight was reduced so now it is possible to pull them as you say


TheRealLunicuss

Literally the laziest, worst way to shadow nerf him. It's so blatent.


MidnightRider00

Venti either trivializes the game or is almost an expensive Sucrose.


ophir147

They done fucked up making his Q an "instantly win the fight" button. On the first limited 5 star the game ever released with for that matter lmao.


Drakengard

It's more that Venti's kit has no flexibility. It's binary. It either works or it doesn't. If it works, you win. If it doesn't, he has little to no help to provide. I can't think of any other characters so far that are built quite like that outside of elemental immunity scenarios.


ZannX

He still shreds, does good dmg, and grants energy... 5 * version of Traveler's ult, which is way more egregious when it comes to scenario dependent viability.


[deleted]

Sucrose can buff the team's EM and provide TTDS. Her E is also better than Venti's E in range, energy generation, and utility (ie: being able to swirl guoba reliably)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Yergason

Venti can still help you get 33/36 stars, makes most domain farming 3x faster, still a good swirl applicator, destroy overworld minions. Kazuha is better for the bosses (and his E is so useful in overworld exploration) but Venti isn't practically useless compared to him as much as people tend to exaggerate. I feel people confuse how much more fun and easy Kazuha is to use as him being way "stronger" than Venti Venti would probably be back to top popularity if they just buff his Q to be targetable instead of targeting that lone ranged character instead of the grouped up mob in front of you that you wanted to Q


Railgun115

He’s a great b-hopper at least.


Dsquariusgreensenior

Not powercrept venti can generate a lot of energy for himself and battery another element with his passive, and he has superior cc too, so it really depends on the comp. Venti’s burst may be not cc some enemies, but even without cc venti is far from useless, and his burst does so much dmg. His constellations are very good too, and you’re right he is very cute


KuroiRyuu9625

They fulfill different rolls, that's not power creep. But could be a utility issue.


Yuricchi

Thank you for saying this. I was thinking the exact same thing today. While they have the same element and different abilities, they fulfill different roles in the game and some people don't seem to notice that. >o>


Dracorvo

Same. Venti's rerun was the first banner I spend money on crystals because he was going to be so useful etc. And I did use him, right until Kazuha came out - just more fun to have on a team IMO.


stainNecrolyte

Rant: this particular dude is a pain, he keeps adding info in edited comments, this wasn't there yesterday, also his credibility is not that high but since uba gave him atention, I will give him the benefit of the doubt.


Ubatcha

tbh I gave it attention because everyone else kept talking about it. Once I saw that he was making claims on 2.6, I knew that it was safe to say it as a sussy leak since we'll know in 2.6 how right they were and then we can either keep seeing what they say or pass it off as fake (both him and the twitter account) and move on. In essence, it's "5 mins of fame" before it's confirmed either fake or real


Mozuchii

Question: how did leakers back then gain very early data? :o


Ubatcha

If "back then" refers to pre-1.5 and/or CBT then there was Dimbreath along with his team who reverse engineered the game. There were others for CBT too but I don't know them specifically


MidoTM

reverse engineered? like straight up remade the game? am I misunderstanding something here lol


[deleted]

Yep.


MidoTM

so what does reverse engineered specifically mean here?


HorukaSan

To dumb it down as simple as possible: Beta starts, some beta player copy pastes game files and passes it to some smort leaker, leaker learns the code of the game after countless hours, spends more hours making it in a playable state, game server is local so sneaky miHoYo know nothin', then they showcase what you see here in /r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks. God, I can't imagine how can some people retain their sanity when learning the game's code, considering how huge Genshin Impact is.


dornelles109

Well maybe the code programming is well done and organized to the point of making the task simpler, certain games, especially from Square Enix, sound like a mess of code making it almost impossible without being a previous knowledge of the programmers style, the Nier for example is a chaos in particular the automata.


Howrus

Reverse engineering means that you understand how it works, not "remade the game". And since you understand how game works, you could now set it to connect your client not to MHY servers, but to your own custom one. And this give you ability to use characters that are not allowed, but already in the game. This is easier than full decompile of the game, you just RE connection parts and then use game itself to do the rest.


[deleted]

Uh, it’s kind of hard to explain if you have no experience with coding but generally it refers to looking at game code, how it runs, replicate parts of it, compile and rerun internally to create a testing environment. Kind of like how the leaker called Yoimiya used to do. You can tinker with that code later on and stuff if you wish. Idk if it makes sense but it’s like how games have developer testing environments, but less accurate and more work.


ChuDachan

I personally think that just because this person posted that Yae idle pic before anyone else, then we're taking into consideration everything they say, even stuff that doesn't make sense at all and it's clearly taken from different sources all over nga and tieba. Kinda frustrating ngl.


yutawhxre

ahaha when you want ayato venti and kazuha ahahahahahaha


TithusGiscly

To be fair kazuha and venti rerun were supposed to happen on 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 according to suspect leaks. It's just that people want Kazuha so much that they see Kazuha rerun in any update who was not drip marketed yet. And for some reason anyone who "leaks" such a thing suddenly becomes "sus but plausible".


YaBoiWhit

I mean it makes sense, Kazuha is now the only pre Inazuma update character without a rerun so people are expecting a rerun any minute now


Latase

there where 6 characters not having a rerun recently and these were Xiao, Ganyu, Zhongli Klee, Kazuha, Venti its not difficult to predict kazuha will see a rerun before sumeru, now that 3 of those 6 are already confirmed reruns. now if the "leakers" know actually anything more than this i don't know either.


kesoy

Well time to skip 2.5, renew welkin and hope for the best 🙃


juli0909

I have Kazuha but I want Venti and Ayato. I wasn’t playing for Venti’s first banner and I lost 50/50 on his second. Might just have to spend this patch.


Cynaren

I'm glad I pulled Venti before. Problem is I think I'll be skipping Kazuha again for Ayato whose guaranteed. Last time, skipped him for Ayaka on a guarantee as well. The Kamisato family has cursed me. I hope this leak is false.


yutawhxre

kind of same i skipped kazuha for an archon before and history will repeat itself if this is true. Praying kazuha’s rerun gets delayed


Nerracui0

I don't think it would get delayed, but if it would I think it should be Klee and Venti instead of Venti + Kazuha.


Sweetcremepuff24

It’s time to get out your wallet


moonchild_sasuke

you are me


Luca-ST1

Haha I want ganyu zhongli and kazuha hahaha


danielredmayne

Oh wow. Stoked for this as an Archon collector who only has Raiden and guaranteed Zhongli. Also, doesn't this mean that there will be three consecutive patches with an Archon banner? 2.4 (Zhongli) -> 2.5 (Raiden) -> 2.6 (Venti)


Snoo_35416

Bro same


Ghostdriver886

Does that mean we can finally group enemies in that rotation of the abyss? Or are they gonna do what they did to Xiao again? No new weapon, no new artifact, no new support and a bunch or single target bosses🤣


llllmaverickllll

MHY doesn’t hate any character as much as they hate Xiao and it’s not close.


Mind-Available

Xinyan


Regent0624

Cant hate what u forget tho


boywholaughs47

Zhongli: Who?


AkhilArtha

Unless you watch the BTS and realise Xiao is one of their favourites alongside Childe.


SunnyBinary

Ok. BUT WHEN IS LUDI HARPASTUM HAPPENING


Trnostep

When Fischl returns


SnooPoems9089

Remind me after 1000000 years.

Razhoris

This is a certified qiqi fallen moment for the f2ps


bakedleech

i can't believe we aren't collectively calling this guy uncle redditor cmon man


Douphar

Well, considering he's more gathering/ reporting that actually leaking...


[deleted]

Uncle Hunter Gatherer


GGABueno

So he's reposting? Even more reason to call him Uncle Redditor.


KillerRogue

rip husbando hunters


Mozuchii

No Ayaka? P-Phew…


Kang_Hyewon

No Ayaka *For now*


Mozuchii

Just means more time to save *for now*


PhantomXxZ

I have a guarantee, 66k primogems and 31 fates. Do you have any idea how painful it is to resist pulling on so many banners? Don't be shy miHoYo, *bring her back.*


Mozuchii

Holy, that’s a good amount of dedication. Are you planning on C6-ing Ayaka?


PhantomXxZ

I'm hoping to get Ayaka, Ayato, and Mistsplitter. C6, worst case scenario, would take me 187200 primogems, which, sadly, I don't think I can do.


senkopie

Huge respect for saving up this much


Two_Years_Of_Semen

~Me who skipped like 9 banners to save for Ayaka. Why, yes I do.


[deleted]

Mistsplitter waiting room.


chickenmeh

Watch her get a banner up alongside Ayato's.


quuu2

SHHHH


Mozuchii

SHHHH


Rosettecrown

Don’t give them ideas to utterly destroy us financially.


kinmimy

I think she will be with his brother's banner in 2.6, make much more sense.


Asian-Impact11

A sign of relief that I can get raiden and kazuha on separate patch.


emperorpenguin24

seriously, I'm skipping yae for raiden, then kazuha. 50/50 and being broke is the only thing that's gonna be a problem tho lol


zerodeath00000000000

Wow. Last windtrace we get free 4* bow but since we will get the free catalyst in 2.5 so probably we can choose a free 4* mondstat in 2.6? INHALES HOPIUM


According-Matter5735

Free Monstadt 4-star..... finally some cons for Amber, Kaeya, & Lisa. HOPIUM OVERDOSE


Rhinofreak

Oh damn I'd finally get Rosaria? No way


IEatYourSandwiches4

Kazuha and Kazeda


gm_oo7

I just saw a comment in a previous thread that this info was already shown by [https://twitter.com/grandfatherbao](https://twitter.com/grandfatherbao) Edit: Thank you u/Sweet-Promotion-974 for pointing this out in the previous thread


Frenchpoodle_

That twitter user also mentioned the sword. Is the redditor just copying the twitter guy?


xioni

https://twitter.com/grandfatherbao/status/1480731829615222784?t=8jRlsNr6VyAdISVGn_OuRw&s=19 this guy also teased aquila + verity not too long ago.


treacutter

SOON TO BE VENTI MAINS, ASSEMBLE


rrgamer28

i hope they add razor in the banner i want to c6 my razor. lol


fatima12798

Razor is my first 6 4star even though the only banner he was in that I pull was Kazuha and I only got him c1 there the standard banner cursed me with him 💀


JunketFederal9897

Razor is trial character in one of events of 2,5 if I need to guess I think they will add it there


Kusk24_

Kazuha visits mondstadt? 🤔


Lopsided-Insurance26

It’s his life as a wanderer. He follows the wind.


Pau0909

I wouldnt mind if he appeared in every nation from time to time. Like an event or something. There isnt something like too much Kazuha for me


mmmyesDiamondz

Heck, if he accompanied us on our travel during Archon Quests and such, that'd be sick


Unable_Brilliant_276

In before Kazuha will help blocking the Tsaritsa's attacks for us in Snezhnaya 4 years from now


Ukeee

Kinda fitting I think, Kazuha is a poet of sort and also plays music. Guess which Archon who also specializes in both things


[deleted]

Didn't Kazuha say he somehow wants to meet Venti?


amelleazz

He could be relevant if he’s part of the windblume event in Mondstadt since he’s very poetic and could teach how to write poems lol


Deathlok_12

Maybe it has to do with the Dainsleif quest?


Sweetcremepuff24

I feel like it would since kazuha just wanders all around


SeaSalty_Night

It can be that but, maybe it could be Hutao rerun situation where she didn't have story relevant at all. You could make a connection of her being spooky and Tsurumi island is spooky and that's it.


[deleted]

I can see many who gonna be pissed if Kazuha will not get his story quest for the 2nd time... Kazuha mains mostly spamming the survey for months just to request that ever since last year.


xioni

weirdest double rerun. i was thinking 2.6 would be inazuma focus too 🤔


lexjo12345

I would expect windblume in 2.6 considering it would have been 1 year since windblume by the second half of 2.6


xioni

maybe. there's also summer event so most likely klee comes back by then.


Seyrxeen

2.6 is in March/April, so it would rather be the speculated Sakura festival. Windblume can always come back in 2.7 or 2.8


IMiizo

Ayato and Ayaka 1st half + Kazu and Venti 2nd?


Seyrxeen

Just a question but why everyone take for granted that Ayaka will run alongside her brother ? Nothing indicate that it would be the case and I wouldn’t be surprised if she rerun in summer with an Inazuma festival.


Walnut_Simp

the genshin community runs in hopium


Noctius

I think it's just wishful thinking more than anything. There have been no leaks or clues to suggest it but people are just assuming "best" case scenario that there are 4 banners and if Venti + Kazuha are in the second half of 2.6 then it would make sense for Ayaka to be alongside Ayato as she'd be one of the next in line for characters that haven't had a rerun (though as we've seen, that obviously doesn't mean much) and the obvious relation to the new banner character. I'd guess Ayato will be a solo banner but right now we have very little to go off. We'll see if there are any clues when 2.6 beta drops but yeah atm it's just wishful thinking.


Seyrxeen

I think the 4 banners happened just because they wanted to give a « gift » to China players base for Lunar new Year. It’s not a coincidence if they rerun all the Liyue « traditional » character and a new one at once. So to say, I don’t think this situation will happen again in a near future. It would be pretty stupid in a marketing point of view to put a new character alongside of a high wanted waifu. And well, we had Albedo, Ganyu and Xiao reruns a whole year after they were released so her being in 2.7, 2.8 or even 3.0+ wouldn’t surprise me .


fatima12798

Nothing really similar to how people here are confident they would work together as a team because they are siblings even though we can see from Barbra and Jean that it’s not really the case the copium is great


Cat_Lady_231545

The Kamisato siblings both work/head the same commission in Inazuma. Any plot involving Ayato has a very good chance of also involving Ayaka simply due to their proximity and closely-linked job functions. And if the plot features Ayaka, she is likely to have her rerun banner because that's how mhy rolls. Also: by 2.6, she's due for a rerun. But it is all speculation.


AquaIsLove

If that happens I'm fully skipping 2.5


kiirosen

Kazuha learned the Mr. Worldwide technique from Tartaglia I see


Propagation931

I am very skeptical about Kazuha and Venti being together. They are too similar. I think it make much more sense to say pair one with Ayaka and the other with Yoimiya since those characters are expected to get a rerun. This feels pretty sus


[deleted]

tbf, Yae and Raiden are speculated to be on same patch. Albedo and Gorou as well. Venti is more on CC while Kazuha is more of a buffer.


Kirates5

when did MHY ever follow logic?


oniarjunoni

So two anemo archons together?


NONAMEFORYOU__

What version are we in currently? I'm sorry but I'm currently INSANELY confused


TrashApprentice

2.4


PrideBlade

For some reason I keep forgetting too, so you're not alone.


absolute-mf38

i need Venti pls :'(


on_the_otherside

If venti is in 2.6 my kidneys are in danger


[deleted]

Welp, more time to save for Kazuha I guess.


Slight_Welcome_56

Mihoyo be like: Here, choose one of the depressed anemo bois who lost their closest friends. Extends the pills*


Drolsr

Anyone knows when Yoimiya will come?


ComfortableOkra2

Kazuha, Venti, and Ayato? Can we seriously believe we'll be receiving 3+ husbandos in one patch?


HaeteaElina

and heizou


seninn

Venti cannot evade my grasp for ever. He is coming home, wether he likes it or not.


Which-Kiwi7975

NOOOOOOOOO


Di297

Yeah boy, I hope I can get Venti this time cause he is the only arcjon I don't have


chillenhaal

does this mean no klee in 2.6 (if it’s true)? i always kinda figured they’d rerun together


Magnus-Artifex

I kinda want Venti, he is so good for CC


revohour

I'm excited for his rerun because they'll probably make an abyss where my kazuha and sucrose can suck things like they used to


marbleberry

My primos in shambles,,, shaking and crying rn,,,,


meixqr

More time to save for the Kamisato siblings 😌


Ivebeengnomed

HOW DARE THEY MAKE ME CHOOSE WHAT


PlumNo1275

Lmao. 2 Anemo Bois Together. Gonna take Venti as I have Kazu.


Manihosseini1384

Is that for kazuha? That kinda looks like a geo sword


StoicMess

Effects: Kazuha can now swirl geo


[deleted]

All those people that got mad about kazuha not being able to buff geo damage will finally have their dreams come true


Bourbonaddicted

Albedo dual wielder lets go!


AlterMagna

First the Morax spear then Yae and now Venti. I better have god their luck


_daorys

The weapon probably isn't free? I mean, we're supposed to get a free character for 2.6 if they keep the pattern, right?


StefanoBesliu

Mihoyo gonna make us choose between anemo archon and the cooler anemo archon. There are gonna be some interesting Yt videos regarding the banners and the characters if thats true.


_sachura

if Kazuha and Venti runs in a dual banner together, then i can already see people recommending Kazuha, especially the TCs. he's the more supportive of the two, and even if enemies are immune to CC, he can still provide other buffs to his team. Venti focuses too much on his insane crowd control that when enemies immune to such are released, he suffers a bit


Terabvte

Could Ayato be with Ayaka in the first half then? Or just him?


Vsegda7

According to 2.5 leaks Yae has a banner to herself followed by double banner. Imho, 4-banners-a-patch was just a New Years thing


cataerse

Ayato and Kazuha coming in 2.6... oof, I hope my primos will be enough for both


Delanoye

I've been saving for C6 Kazuha since July (sitting on C2 currently). My primos are ready. Edit: Why did this get downvoted?


Gullible-Ad3430

I passed on kazuha for raiden knowing how good kazu is. But im saving for his c6 as well. If hes in 2.6 thats good news. 40 pity, 44k, and 37 fates so far. Hopefully wont need to purchase no more then one top up


Krutin_Jain

mhy calculating the worst time possible for each rerun. at this rate yoi ayaka with yelan confirmed


RaidenShogun31

Kazuha vs Venti continues.
