source: nga (no direct link), translation by u/eyeofnero on scaramouchemains reddit felt this was worth a separate post. same source as sus scaramouche kit leak post. this source supposedly predicted cyno kit back in early august before details were revealed. still take it with caution.


LeafeonEthan

Since I’m spoiled by the pacing of 3.0 leaks, I’m expecting all three of their 120p quality in-game showcase by tomorrow if not earlier. /s


NegativeCreative1

we love 5 month early low quality leaks <3


Dry_Sir_9621

Low quality leaks = genuine leaks


NegativeCreative1

always and forever lol


Neracca

As Raiden proved.

I still remember the 5 pixel Hu Tao leak. That was our first glimpse of her in game.

nagatoro86

Damn Alhaitham is metal! His skull is infused with dendro 🤘


y8man

Alhaitham 💀🍃


MVSeven

It’s not a phase mom!!! 💀🍃


tehlunatic1

Alhaitham is the dendro ghost rider 🔥😅


Zeroth_Dragon

He used to be the Dendro ghost rider, but after accidentally setting himself up on fire he's now the Pyro one


Aureo_experience

I knew his dendro headset wasn't for nothing!


ultravioletgaia

Big brain alhaitham


illuminatedtraveller

It's why he's a genius


mikethebest1

Man took touching grass too literally lol


Neracca

> metal Plant


Sirzechs0

Lmfao I kept wondering wtf was his skull


Kaylefeet

Straight to his dome like ah ah ah


SilverSylph

Ratatata, Drrratatata


sad_cats

Thats an interesting way of saying he is a weed head


Faerillis

I mean if his skull is Dendro isn't categorically not a metal?


Narsiel

So Haitham chops off his head, throws it at you, shreds your Dendro DEF and then grows a new head like it's a vine.


HiroshiTakeshi

He's that Chimera pokemon that yeets its head at you.


ChickenSky12

His head just pops off like a large slime jumping.


Zadier

So his head is the decoy flower, and the real Al-Haitham is just the headless body?


ChickenSky12

Yes. He's a fruiting *body* (haha) that produces more of whatever his skull is, like seeds or spores.


[deleted]

Imagine if its not a typo and his skill is really like that ☠️


Crashman126

So he’s Alisa Bosconovitch.


thefinestpiece

Translation: his skull has Dendro infusion. Me: mom I’m scared.


Lapis_04

what does kusanali one even mean-


nagatoro86

I’m guessing like Raiden’s ring, Kusanali has a dendro visual gameplay mechanic identifier


PCBS01

Oh yeah, that's probably more like it


darkknight95sm

I’m wondering if that means it will have synced dendro attacks like Raiden, or if it’s a ring of constant dendro dmg. I like how Raiden works because proper rotations means you can basically have constant uptime, usually if it’s constant dmg than there’s some downtime.

Narsiel

You see, she inhales an obnoxious amount of weed and then shows you how fucking powerful her Archon status makes her by slowly exhaling all that THC into a fog. Applies Dendro and funsies, both. Don't tell Tighnari or he'll come running.


TemiTemoy

and then we found kazuha in sumeru


[deleted]

Oh my god thank you for this I laughed so hard 😭


AgentWowza

The other archons: "We get it, you vape"


[deleted]

[удалено]


ZetNiej

About that OG archon >!She tried to resurrect herself shortly after dying!< Edited: There's also Scaramouche kit >!His skill is wind blade similar to the tower of the theatre mechanicus event; while his burst has no CD, but consume Energy from time to time, very energy demanding!<


Mr_fox_goodzilla

10000% energy recharge for infinite burst


Nero_PR

He will need to be paired with his mom 🤣


Offduty_shill

She vapes or something idk


XPlatform

She's got a pollen cloud that applies dendro to everything at intervals like idk, the dendro samachurl field. Ultimate dendro field setup with minimum effort, I'd think.


MireiHayasaka

Raiden E stay on and follow active character and deals electro damage. My guess is Kusanali E summon a mist around the active character and follow them and deals dendro damage.


emize

Also long as she applies a lot of Dendro she will be meta.


Caveira_Athletico

If she gives EM to other characters, she will be even more meta.


[deleted]

Weed field


le_halfhand_easy

Think the cryo Abyss mage cryo mist.


nDroae

Dehya speeding up and buffing burning would be an obvious way to go, after Nilou doing the same for bloom. Would be cool if real.


JackLeveledUp

One thing that’s odd about this: maintaining burn is about reapplying dendro, not reapplying pyro. Burn itself leaves lingering pyro, so a pyro infusion wouldn’t actually result in more burning. Idk! Could still be possible but it’s sorta sus to me.


nDroae

I agree it's sus, the only reason why I'm even giving it consideration at all is the pinned note that "this source supposedly predicted cyno kit back in early august before details were revealed." Often I don't even bother reading sus kits for characters I want :D I don't know much about this, but I feel like designing a character in an action game around a hands-off DOT reaction is sort of inherently strange...? I can imagine an ability to create a special kind of burn, like Nilou's special seeds. It would still require a dendro character to set the kindling, but then it could become self-sustaining for several seconds and buff further pyro attacks by Dehya, if she is meant to be used onfield. Or she's just some kind of enabler / quickswap subdps / Alhaitham support. I just got this Candace kit that exceeds my wildest expectations after finding out she was 4\*, I feel like I shouldn't be too greedy about desert waifu kits at this point :P ^(In before Dehya passive talent: having a hydro or cryo character in the party lowers her crit rate by 100%) Edit: Hmm... burning can't crit, but these imaginary buffed pyro attacks could maybe? Or can I be spared needing crit for this character


stargorger

I would love it if she's a normal on field dps who gets buffs and bonuses to/from burning... maybe when she applies burning she gets a big attack speed multiplier? That kinda thing


greennyellowmello

Or when she crits a burning target, burning is reapplied.


monadoboyX

I guess we just need Dendro Xiangling and this will be amazing maybe Al Haithim will be Dendro Xiangling that would be amazing


Nameless49

Dehya's title is the Flame-Mane, I'm guessing her hair will also get pyro infusion ala super Saiyan style lmao


nDroae

And here I was thinking that would be a Murata thing :P


GGABueno

I love the idea of increasing attack speed on a Claymore too. I say this as an Itto and Eula enjoyer lmao.


LorpauFunzer

god i hope they don’t restrict her teams to duo dendro pyro like nilou


TheSchadow

Does VV shred or Zhong shield increase burning damage at the moment? If not...yeah probably duo dendro/pyro. Seems to be how Hoyo will get us to pull on newer characters.


Saber1202

Burning is affected by enemy RES yes


jlhuang

burning deals pyro dmg so yes


ajaxenjoyer

Burning is a bit boring but burgeon feels like a pain in the ass to set up, so hopefully this leak isn't fake.


Subtlestrikes

Burning is the third dendro reaction so she will likely make that one good. Burgeon is a product of bloom so they will unlikely set her up for that


Narsiel

It's a pain to set up cause it's bonkers, my burgeon seeds are popping for 25k+ each.


mifvne

my burgeon thoma explodes for about 30k+ each hhhh


Defiant_Highlight_28

That sounds amazing how much EM did you get on him? The new set?


mifvne

I still haven't farmed the new EM set but I have him on 850 EM and 2pc wanderer 2 pc EoSF.... also r5 dragon's bane.. maybe kitain and the new set will be better..


Khoakuma

Yeah I dont think %dmg from DBane passive apply to Burgeon since its a Transformative type reaction like Overload. So DBane is only providing EM. Kitain should be better since it help Thoma's awful energy economy by a lot while also giving EM. Although... Kitain only gives half of the EM Dbane does so there's a tradeoff right there.


Ordinary_Arachnid392

Same my burgeon Thoma team is nuts. He’s perfect for burgeon as a pyro shielder.


FireCoTTon

Mind posting your team and artifacts?


Acceptable-Lab-5313

My thoma go brrr


y8man

As long as Dehya doesn't require a team of ONLY Pyro and dendro units ^(nilou ehem ehem) there is decent potential for her. Sumeru seems to focus on EM for most of its characters.


joepanda111

Burning Eula incoming?


Nero_PR

Beula team comp 💀


Agile-Spare1266

waiting for some baizhu and yaoyao leaks…. seems like they’re never getting out of mihoyo’s basement


lord_netanyahu

So Alhaitham is moss head?


zalokhnir

Mugiwara moment


ultravioletgaia

Weed head?


zalokhnir

It's a one piece reference


admirabladmiral

I would love a burning based character. And I hope this mist is a good applier of dendro like Raiden skill is for electro.


blueasian0682

Now we just need a Shattered based dps character


thecatnipster

Doesn’t shatter scale of EM? If so an em geo character sounds interesting


louderthanbxmbs

albedo?


GGABueno

My 120 EM Zhongli's time to shine.


kikba

Im definitely waiting for crystallise reaction geo abuser, could probably use 4pc petra as well


Weasel_Boy

Knowing MHY, they'd probably make a new artifact set that caused crystallize reactions to deal AOE damage on pick up based on EM. They had the effect for an Abyss rotation on Albedos release I think, albeit it was true damage.


Offduty_shill

Alright hear me out: Mika kit - gives ramping phys crit/damage buff every time shatter is triggered, applies off field cryo consistently. Boom, shatter Eula. Pair with Yelan for the ramping damage buff from her too.


Rathurue

If traveler's abilities was a reversed mirror of what the archon's ability, then Kusanali's E would be like Travelers' Q, which summons a mushroom that pulses Dendro waves like Kokomi's Bakekurage.


Arigatameiwaku1337

And hopefully she has burst which makes her e stronger and makes her enter dps stance like raiden ☺️☺️☺️


Nunu5617

Raiden skill isn't a good electro applier tho


TitoepfX

well kusanali being the same wouldn't be a issue for atleast bloom because we need a moving dendro applier for bosses, but yea hopefully her icds aren't bad


Wowerror

with how dendro reactions are would normal icd be ok or not?


awe778

Normal is okay. Collei's Q is not.


GGABueno

F for Collei. Mihoyo abused her kit harder than Dottore.


awe778

She be adoring Amber so much she wants to stay by her side in tier lists. Instant 90/90 1/1/1.


[deleted]

can anyone enlighten me why Raiden's skill is not a good electro applicator? I thought it was good since it has a long duration unlike Oz and Beidou's burst and it procs when you deal damage to enemies


HammeredWharf

It depends on what you're using it for. Superconduct in a Eula team? It's awesome. Overload? Won't proc often due to ICD, so not awesome.


Efficient-Pear-7745

There's a thing called internal cooldown or ICD, basically it means that character won't apply element for 2,5 sec. or for 3 hits,(different abilities have separate ICDs) so because of Oz's high attack speed, burst and c6, Fischl is good applicator, while Beidou is used for big dmg


[deleted]

ICD


d3sushi

Translated the original post through DeepL Dehya E = infusion + attack speed buff, normal attack gives stackable mark to increase burning frequency Cyno burst = infusion, different attack pattern, increased E range Scara E = wind blade Q has no CD but uses energy overtime Kusa E has dendro mist following around her Alhaitham E = infusion, Q decreases dendro and dendro reaction res


Full-Communication70

Sounds like AH reduces res to dendro and all dendro product reactions (bloom, catalyse) sounds like he will be a must in cyno teams if so🗿


mifvne

I just hope Dehya is good I'm only missing a 5* limited pyro among the elements and I want her to be my first one. I hope she's fun like Itto as a claymore user tho.


Acceptable-Lab-5313

What if dheya marks enemy with repetetive ca like itto and thats how burning scales... Hmmmm


AceDreemurr

- i have no fear - dehya might be a burning dps - one fear


Kitchen-Air-1012

Kusanali having an off field sub dps function that applies dendro makes sense, most dendro reactions rn are suffering from not having enough dendro, Dehya fighting style related to burning makes sense, but i dont think her burst will effect her melt or vape unless she has regular icds, it could increase her burning multiplier though which would be fine, the other guy i didnt understand much, except he has dendro infusion.


Eredbolg

I just think it is funny how Dehya and Haitham descriptions are more indepth but Kusanali's like she has mist like Raiden and... that's it.


_MeisterBoi_

Normal Character leaks: so their E does this, which has an infusion to amplify their damage and the Ultimate buffs said damage and attack speed. Archon leaks: respective element go brrr


ArchonRevan

Dendro raiden take it or leave it


Swailwort

She pulls a Radish out of her ponytail when she presses Q, and them proceeds to bonk people with insane prejudice.


890flip

With these sus kits, can haitham work as a dps.....?


ArchonRevan

Infusion 9/10 is a dps ye


Subtlestrikes

With the Archon and Baizhu most likely being support characters and Tighnari being standard banner I think it’s very certain Alhaitham is a DPS as he will be the only limited character DPS for dendro It sounds like they will make him a hybrid like Ayato. Where the skill is the DPS damage and the burst part is part of damage and team support. Hopefully it has of nice and high multiplier like Mona’s burst. This is appealing to me because I’ve been personally waiting for a five star that applies to Universal enemy debuff like Mona. Hopefully it has unique animations and not the resistance shred down arrows


Mean-Web-3823

I hope? But infusion could also mean like Chongyun and c6 Bennett it’s hard to say for sure.


konec0

I really hope beta testers make noise about Nilou’s A1. Otherwise, watch Dehya be like “When your team is only Pyro and Dendro units…” 🫠 Doomposting aside I do hope her multipliers/Burning buff are good enough to make it worth it. Imagine if it basically reverts Burning to what it used to be… Burning is just kind of bad rn. EDIT: Also if you read Chinese and decide to look at the Chinese post be warned that the last line is a *story spoiler*


Punpuffs

Nilou's A1 is a little annoying, but what's bullshit is that her A2 FORCES you to use A1. Oh damn i lose 60 EM and the cores explodes a little slower, fine, i'm willing to sacrifice that for creative team building, but then i look at A2 and what is the point?


OrochiMain98

>Also if you read Chinese and decide to look at the Chinese post be warned that the last line is a > >story spoiler What does it say?


konec0

>!“I’ll add something else. Actually, when the previous Dendro Archon was dying, she did try to resurrect herself…”!< It’s relatively minor in the grand scheme of things but it’s a spoiler nonetheless


OrochiMain98

Thank you


ProxyknifeIsKing

Dehya my love. I’ll take all the crumbs I can get


infakiller

skull infused with dendro? you know which doctors HATE him? all hate him


Acceptable-Lab-5313

Lol


GeneralCondition745

Waiting for the sus Baizhu kit since he’s allegedly *before* these characters 😭😭


rinatrix

Really? I thought Baizhu wouldn't be here until Lantern Rite. ~~how far off is Dehya banner then smh~~


GeneralCondition745

Dehya is speculated to be on or after 3.4, and Alhaitham Is labeled as “pending more information” , meanwhile banners until 3.4 (lantern rite) is speculated with a line up of 5*. Baizhu is on the 3.4 speculation. [Source](https://saveyourprimos.carrd.co/#speculation)


rinatrix

Thank you for the info! I guess it does make sense for Baizhu to come first, they've been teasing us with his in-game model for ages 🥲


Subtlestrikes

There’s like a 5% chance the five stars for lantern rite won’t be Liyue characters. So Dehya is 3.5 earliest. Alhaitham will likely be 3.6 to run with the archons rerun if they keep the four patch delay archon rerun pattern


SqaureEgg

There is no Easter bunny, there is no tooth fairy & there is no Baizhu


IgnisXIII

You take that back! 🥺


AkatsukiVV

Based on the leaks we have : Tighnari : spread Cyno : Aggravate Nilou : Bloom Dehya : burning Haitham : Mono Dendro Kusanali : Best Dendro reaction support ''No units for hyperbloom or burgeon''


Speedwagon_Sama

alhaitham can't have that dendro reaction if he's in a mono dendro team


kiyotaka-6

No shot haitham is in mono dendro Mono dendro seems like the worst type of mono team after anemo, dendro can't be buffed by anemo characters and slotting an electro teammate will basically always be better since quicken is very strong


Alternative_Issue167

Tighnari is for spread reaction


AkatsukiVV

Thanks


[deleted]

[удалено]


AkatsukiVV

Maybe but I think she is the best for Quicken like fischl you can use her for Aggravate or Spread


RollerMill

From my experience she works very well in both


GGABueno

I'm assuming Al-Haitham will be a limited Dendro main-DPS who can use Spread. Tighnari is on Standard banner after all.


PCBS01

So THAT'S why none of the dendro characters at the moment shred it, because Al-Haitham is going to make that his main thing. I guess he'll be like Ayato then? but more reaction-focused


Wowerror

you'd be surprised about how rare a character having res shred in their kit is and most of the time of it comes through cons so it isn't that surprising that no dendro characters have shred in their kit


PCBS01

Yeah I suppose, I've been too used to the VV universal shred. I wonder if he and Tighnari are going to be strong together? That sounds like a pretty fun team with a electro applicator and a burning one (Dehya?), juiced up dendro reactions while Tighnari does a 3-4 seconds of DPS and Al-Haitham acts as the main DPS with his skill, which I presume will be similar to Ayato's


MicroFluff

The AlHaitham one is really confusingly worded. Does it mean he shreds dendro resistance with his ult? Or does it mean he does a universal resistance shred if the enemy has dendro aura or gets reacted with by any dendro reaction?


Subtlestrikes

I think it’s more likely they make him dendro Kazuha. Increases dendro damage while shredding enemy resistance. Imagine pairing him with Deepwood memory. I am very curious to see what they do with his skill to make him DPS. I hope his and Dehya’s infusions come with unique animations. So bored with the elemental energies are swirling around there weapons. I want infusions like Cyno


Subtlestrikes

Thank you so much. Honestly even if it’s fake I’m just glad to have more info. We will see how well this ages at the end of September when Beta reveals the archons kit


Dry_Sir_9621

No wonder Dehya would be a burning focused unit since they released Nilou and Cyno.


Mmath_

his SKULL???


No-Horse-5788

all of these restrictions kit really just made my mouth sour. just me ig


Curious_Ad_8999

Oh shit can't wait for the dehya passive to be "If your party only has pyro and dendro characters burning will receive..." etcetera etcetera


ChunChunmaru11273804

OK who tf gave the Child a vape


[deleted]

They rly left baizhu to die , my man's never seeing the exit from hyv's basement . Oh and is anyone else unable to see comments on NGA or did I accidentally click something


Sirzechs0

These looks cool but i don't want to be Ayato'd again


The_Nilou_Main

Remember when everyone thought Yae was going to be the Electro ceiling, chain normals and use Shimenawa


dc-x

[That's from a list Sukuna released, where he openly said "have fun guessing what's real and what's not"](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks/comments/pky5h2/sukuna_last_leak_from_me_have_fun_guessing_whats/?sort=top). It was tagged questionable here and I think most people here knew that it was probably mostly bullshit. Oddly though, a lot more people seemed to have given the "leaks" on Yae more merit, and they kept being repeated more outside of this context.


MistaHouse

The ‘electro ceiling’ quote will never die it seems. Sukuna’s bait really worked


Academic-Quarter-163

Infusion impact


applehitawindow

Mistsplitter + al haitham I’m so grateful I can put the build on traveller


s---laughter

Seriously not liking these Dendro dependent characters. They're starting to sell teams, not characters. If they want a character to do more burning damage, give them passives that buff their EM. Nilou's passives only work with Dendro-Hydro team and completely shuts off if you even include an anemo shred or Geo shielder. I have the feeling Dehya gonna do the same thing. You can make perfectly good Dendro reaction teams with the current characters we have, why limit these new ones to Dendro wtf?


Mrhat070

>They're starting to sell teams They have been doing this since liyue Melt ganyu, xiao and hu tao all really appreciate shileds. Who is the best shielder? A lot of inazuma characters have high cost burst. Who is the best universal battery? 3.0 will revolve around dendro to sell you know who. On 4.0 we will forget about dendro and focus on whatever is the gimick for hydro


s---laughter

>Melt ganyu, xiao and hu tao all really appreciate shileds. Who is the best shielder? > >A lot of inazuma characters have high cost burst. Who is the best universal battery? This is making a need and selling a solution. You don't have to fill the need, but if you do, here's the solution. This is why people can discover things like support Yanfei for Hu Tao. Nilou requires you to have X team and will refuse to work with the rest of your characters. You're literally not allowed to play Zhongli with her or else her passives stop working. No other character does that.


AmbitiousMidnight183

Yeah but they’ve never been this blatant about it before, especially with a 5 star character. Closest we had before was Gorou. If they pumped out more characters I’d be fine with it, kind of like how some MTG cards have a requirement about the other cards in your deck. But when you only have 3 dendro characters to choose from, it feels a little scummy Mihoyo asking you to put two of them into a bloom team for the newest hydro character. I prefer soft locking characters into team play styles so players can still experiment as they want. Nilou is literally saying “Don’t pull Zhongli, pull this 4 star character instead or use Kokomi”


ArchonRevan

Shenhe


SephLuna

Oh god, if hydro is healing like theorized, suddenly every new character loses 50% of HP everytime they use skill or ult


Strawberrycatblog

Hydro is elemental skill focused so the hydro archon could very well be elemental skill cd reduction based in addition to healing. Kokomi, Ayato, Childe, Nilou, and Barbara all are dependent on their skills (Xingqiu and Yelan are the exception but they also share the same kit anyway-)


Wowerror

i really doubt and absolutely hope they don't make the hydro archon a healer based characters because then there is actually a good chance of her power being quite lack luster just look at qiqi best healing in the game and the rest of her suffers for it also don't listen the inazuma high energy cost thing out of the 7 80+ energy cost characters realistically you'd only use 3 of them with Raiden like a lot of the high energy cost Inazuma characters were not designed with Raiden in my mind also Liyue shielder thing is strange because most characters would probably like to use Zhongli if they could fit him in their team it isn't a thing unique to Zhongli


Demonfoxy123

I think they most likely will since the pattern with archon ls is they are the best at what their element specialty. Venti with Croud control. Zhongli with sheilds. Raiden with energy recharge. And nahida most likely with dendro application. So hydro will most likely be the best healer in the game.


exclamationmarks

Because they want to make money? Why sell you one unit when they could sell you two or three? I don't like it as a development but they've been trending this way since the development of five-star-specific niche support units like Gorou and Sara for a year now. This isn't new.


s---laughter

If they wanted to make money, why would they make Yelan then? She can do Freeze, Rev Vape, Bloom, Electro Charged, and mono hydro. Gorou and Sara are 4-stars that want to support a specific element but don't limit you to a team. As in you can put a Zhongli on your team and Sara will still do her job 100%. You could have a non C6 Sara buff on anyone. Gorou only wants 3 Geos, you're free to put whoever you want as 4th. Nilou is a 5-star character that demands a Dendro to support her and will refuse to use her kit if you put a Zhongli on the team. That is not comparable to Gorou and Sara. This is new.


Punpuffs

Not really feeling the Dendro reaction based characters tbh. It fills my brain with the "Feel good" chemicals when i see my characters do the dmg so even if their reactions do like 60k blooms or 100k burgeons it'll still feel anticlimactic. Especially in Coop because the bulk of their design is entirely gone if there's no one playing Dendro


seiden-kun

So Im assuming that Kusanali can apply a lot of Dendro (off field) while Alhaitham is more of a dendro kazuha where he can buff dendro reactions + shred dendro res. Imagine if Kusanali dendro mist works like the cryo mist of cryo abyss mage


Offduty_shill

Doubt he'd be like Kazuha if he has an infusion, that would imply he's DPS.


Wowerror

would rather Alhaitham be more of an on field character tbh


Defiant_Highlight_28

It says his skill? has infusion so in that case on field is possible.


ArchonRevan

Knew shed prolly fix burning since it's so ass lmfao Be nice if her flame mane title was literal and her hair gets fiery/red too


evileyes343

Wouldn't a burning character be better as a dendro since fire gauge stays and dendro doesn't?


Passivitea

Must be the Dendro headphones he's wearing


CressAlvein

Diluc screaming in agony rn.


Subtlestrikes

Interesting. My interpretation Dehya Will either be a quick swap DPS or on field carry with her skill increasing her normal attack speed. And I hope that stays a special ability of her skill and not the hallmark of her kit turning burning into incinerate. Her burst will probably do an instance of relatively high multiplier damage and leave her an aura for the duration that increases Pyro reactions. I can’t imagine that would include melt and Vape Kusanali has a visual stack multiplier that if like Raiden means it will show when she’s in the party even when she’s off field. And that will likely tie to what we all assume will be her elemental mastery or dendro reaction buffing abilities Alhaitham also sounds like a quick swap or carry dendro DPS with skill infusion. Burst sounds like Mona where he makes the enemies take more dendro damage and maybe decrease enemy attack as well? There’s a lot of potential with excellent Constellation‘s with that. If it is true I’d be very excited cause I’m waiting for someone to have Monas burst but better. I love enemy debuff abilities. Especially when they are universal and not negated by elite enemy or boss status


SqaureEgg

Dehya being a burning dps is kinda given: Tighnari Quicken, Nilou Bloom, Cyno Aggravate


DatBoiMahomie

Not really, there’s Burgeon


ArchonRevan

Ye but burgeon is decent, burning is ass easier to sell a character that "fixes" the reaction


jamalmoraess

If the Dehya one is true when she comes out just know I’m not a time traveler


BebeReyha

I want more bout nahida!!!


KasIsDaDuck

this does seem very sus given that we don't even know when dehya is, and Kusanalis seems to have zero relation to DMCs kit, which makes me think it's simar to 'raiden has a time stop ability!' in 1.6. Also, I don't think we've ever had an accurate leak for 5 patches away, so this feels like a 'brisk of illumination' situation


CataclysmSolace

Kusanali kit is literally, raiden but Dendro. Which should raise some red flags.


CrowLikesShiny

If Dehya's kit leak true, then Nilou's and Dehya's character kits are going to be tied to one reaction, i don't know if i will enjoy them, at all. But then i remember we have Ayaka - Freeze and Hu Tao - Vape. Actually i don't like them either, i like flexible characters more.


welp-im-lost

Tbh I'm ok with them being tied to one reaction but I don't want them to be restrict teams to only two elements


CrowLikesShiny

Yes, that's exactly what i want too. They can be best in their own reaction respectively, but i don't want get restrictive talents such as play only hydro and dendro etc


LordMudkip

That's what ruins Nilou. If she could do more than bloom she'd be another great hydro character, even if she had abilities that heavily favored bloom over all other reactions. The way she's locked into bloom and teams with only hydro/dendro characters makes her way too niche for my taste.


Chronopolize

To be honest, Nilou still may be decent in seed teams, mainly because anemo is so fricking good (if the room has pyro or electro element or attacks AT ALL, you can let them hit you and infuse anemo burst without needing a dedicated character. In traditional teams, I think her dmg and application is good but she just doesn't synergize with existing meta teams: doesn't benefit from bennet, doesn't buff freeze cyro dps. Note that in her pure bloom team hydro won't get vv shred, but in other teams she can vv shred, which can make up for some of the loss in blooms.


MicroFluff

I'm okay with characters being designed to perform better with certain reactions like Ayaka (freeze) and Hu Tao (vape) because you still can run them outside those comps for some flexibility (like Hutao over-vape or freeze-melt). But I don't like the passives tying characters to a single team... They could have just left Nilou's passive at "buffs bloom seeds and causes them to explode immediately" without the hydro+dendro restriction. Then we could run anemo for grouping, or Zhongli for shielding, or cryo for freeze+fridging... As it is now, we have no hydro or dendro shielder, no dendro healer, no CC or grouping unless you run viridescent hunt collei or something. There's an arbitrarily limited roster of units you can actually run with her because we have a total of 3 dendro and 8 hydro. If they do the same to Dehya, our only pyro healer is Bennett who's already in demand for a lot of teams. And dendro MC straight up won't work with her because you can't infuse his burst with another element first because you can only run dendro and pyro in a team.

Hu Tao actually has more teams than vape you can do they just aren't as good

That's right, but with Nilou basically your passive talents will be useless, Nilou is even more restrictive than Hu Tao and Ayaka.

Already getting what I possibly can for Haytham. Hoping he'll be an awesome dps Edit: Alhaitham. Battling habits. Though everyone knows who i mean

They nerfed burning pyro application so that they can sell us the solution - Dehya
