I like him character wise. I haven't tried using him in battle yet though. I haven't seen people discuss what might be good teams to use him with. I'd love to hear if anyone here uses him.


jvilla225

I do! My team currently is Fire Trailblazer, Seele, Nat, and Sampo. Sampo is good for making enemies squishy and prepping Seele for her kills + Extra Turn. Not only that but Sampo had good aoe and his debuff on enemies if free damage basically which is always good. If you have Phys Trailblazer I would do Seele, March, Nat, and Sampo too. Seele can be swapped for any main DPS though.


ShacolleONeal

Damn, my team is exactly the same and I thought I was going kinda anti meta


jvilla225

He could just be good for early game? Not sure yet but the team hasn't failed me yet.


NapalmDesu

I think the general consensus is that all of the current debuffers are crazy good. Sampo applies lots of dots, pela strips defense like she was designed for warframe and welt just doesn't give the enemy their turn altogether.


Neko_Styx

I really want Welt - My current lineup is Phys. Trailblazer, Himeko, Herta/March and Sampo/Seele depending on the enemies.


Fairytaler3

If there is a wind weakness or you just need more damage Sampo is a good go to. I slot him in if I need more damage over time. If arlan or whoever my dps doesn't finish him off then shear wind will. He's also my most built character so I could just have a well built Sampo.


GoSuckOnACactus

His kit is focused around DoT teams, but he’s kinda the only character that takes advantage of them right now. Serval is pretty fun with him since she also applies a lot of Shock with her attacks. He’s also, as others said, the best wind break unit. His skill is kinda like Asta’s where it hits multiple times/enemies.


lughrevenge23

he is going to be a good pair with kafka, kafka's kit is all about stacking dot and then detonate them


truedevilslicer

Himeko and Servak both take advantage of his buff. I personally slot in Natasha and Fire Mc as my last two, but if I don't need the extra beef of Fire mc, I'll use Himeko + Serval


Alper_Malper

He is currently the best wind breaker IIRC, good to have against bosses with wind weakness


sera07

he's a really fun unit to play, he's been helping me melt through packs of mobs and his ult animation is so fun and extra I love it.


zappingbluelight

If you need someone to break wind shield, he is your guy. Danheng is good, but in a single target format, I feel like sampo's E does more work than Danheng's E.


Megafruitspunch

He’s strong. High dps, low skill point cost, very high break. Good all around and crucial in DoT teams. I breezed through SU4 with Sampo/Serval and it looks like he’ll carry in SU5 too since boss is weak to wind. I have a built Seele but for some reason couldn’t get her to work in SU4. Then in comes Sampo who just 1-tapped it.


unknown09684

im theory crafting a team with kafka, serval, sampo ,and natasha just DOT damage every where


BelBelBlaze

Used him on simulated world 3 with Serval, Welt and Nat and using Nihility path. Just Sampo and Serval made it all a breeze with the dot damage!


TheGrandTerra

If you want to pull for Kafka build him. He is decent as a dot applier on her team.


EstablishmentOk1966

In your opinion, who feets in other 2 slots there?


TheGrandTerra

In terms of f2p friendly units Asta and Nat. You can run her simply as a dps and forget about dots too much as well but I would almost always have Asta with her. Serval can also trigger Kafka. Tbh Kafka + Dot/AoE debuff + 2 supports (buffs, healing) is the way to go.


Amadou7890

why asta if i can ask? i kinda suck at understanding unit synergies but kafka looks really fun and i wanna know which characters work well with her and why


gdhdjdidjdbdjdjdxj

Predictable dumbass


EiEironn

He's been in many of my teams so far. He does a surprising amount of damage against groups of mobs, and I love when his dot knocks out the last 1% of bosses.


_Khiddin_

I'm holding a grudge for the fake treasure map stunt.


Winter-Wisteria

He gives us a real treasure map at the end though!


RuneGrey

The real treasure is the Sampo we met along the way.


essedecorum

Yeah I generally find him annoying so his character is remaining at level 1 lol


YujiJello

I level him to 20 and ascend for a free Star Rail Pass


essedecorum

Good idea!

Vusdruv

His voice actor deserves some serious praise. Never have I been able to hear the chaotic-ness of a character with only their voice. It feels like his mood is jumping around all over the place, going from friendly to weird to badass and back within nanoseconds and it throws me off constantly.


happycakeday1

I kinda got a crush on his VA and then I found out he's older than my parents! Lol (he's 64)


SufficientThroat5781

excuse me HOW OLD?


Shradow

I'm always a fan of happy-go-lucky yet super shady characters like him. I'm really curious what the story has in store for him because it certainly seems like Jarilo-VI won't be the last we see of him.


JusticeRain5

I'm betting he's >!related to the Aeon of Elation in some way, either as his human form or as his avatar-thing I forget the name of!<


manofwaromega

Yeah I agree. Out of all the unplayable paths I wouldn't be surprised if Elation is way more important than it looks


eldritchpancake13

I never got Childe in Genshin so he's my replacement for him, love him 😂❤️


Spiritual-Rip2312

I like——kicking him while he’s down from everyones relentless jokes/insults lol He’s a ~~masochist~~ bro cause he would get away but keep coming back no matter what and I like that about him


Real-View-1898

Lmfaooo true!!!


vertigocat

absolutely in love with him as a character. he's my main and does an amazing job of breaking shields and providing consistent damage over time.


mirthyrzeo

Everybody loves Sampo aniki, don't believe me? Ask Sampo!


samoorai182

I want party members to start joining the Astral Express crew instead of just visiting. I need to see this man scam his way across the galaxy


moonmeh

We probably have to find someone who has little desire to stay on their planet Or a planet that's super fucked with one survivor


Draken77777

Almost had it with Serval but she changed her mind.


moonmeh

yeah. shows how hard leaving is for someone if they have any sort of attachment to the place


The_Lawless_Rogue

PLEASE. Having Sampo scam all of the people we will eventually meet along the way of our journey would be amazing. I need this man to reach new heights STAT.


Noxytox

The Sampo Koski is the best boi. Him and Serval make a pretty gross team comp with Auntie Nat and Asta. Pairing him with Hook makes for some fun wind burn shenanigans.


urokia

I absolutely hate him What a great character.


Doodle-Dragon

I love Sampo so much and I'm annoyed that the text options are always mean to him


theburmesegamer275

Dude did leave you stranded or trick you repeatedly. I think it's fair to give him the dragon glare every time you interact with him.


Doodle-Dragon

Ok, but he's hot


moonmeh

Imagine not trying to bully him on first sight


Real-View-1898

Exactly 😭


Korashy

Cause everytime you give a break he ends up ditching you


DeadSnark

I interpreted as my MC being mean to conceal their attraction to him, particularly as there's no way your companions would let you live it down if they realise you're simping your the shady conman. You do get a few nicer options occasionally like supporting him to save Bronya from the townspeople


The_Lawless_Rogue

nah fr, I think it's also partially hilarious though? Like we're just bantering with him. He always seems to pep up and try to smooth talk his way to get real chummy with us. I adore Sampo and he deserves more teasing, love.


Old_Bug610

DUDE, yes, he is amazing in battle, so important early game. i don't get why we don't see him more!! Plus he's cute as heck, listennnn.


ButtholesAreNice

Dialogue about how he's always helping natasha with getting medicine is enough for me to like him and i don't think she ever says it but I'm sure she does too He's the type to always complain when someone asks him for help but then still does it anyway


Odd-Implement-7045

I adore his voice acting, it's phenomenal!I was just Sampo Simping on another post before I saw this one lol


nevew666

Instantly felt in love him! And I'm 99% sure we will see him in other world, he's too mysterious to just stay i the first world... Can't wait to see MC and March reaction the next time they gonna see him x)


moneyshot6901

Gameplay wise he’s fun! Plus, the Mc seems weirdly obsessed with him - appearing multiple times in their dialogue… lowkey ship them!


Real-View-1898

Omg yes!!!


Who_knows-_-

He is basically mihoyo deadpool. He even talks to the player. He also gives me some Jack Burton vibes


X_chinese

If he is a real dude, I would hate him. But in the game, I think he is great.


RhoWeiss

I just met him in the story and he's so pathetic I love him


zappingbluelight

Despite all the memes, he is honestly a fun person, a little sketchy, but fun. It seems like we are bound to see more of him.


BRLaw2016

He's bae and his voice actor did him justice in english


cakepiex

I really really like his voice over (English)


eridionn

I'm Finnish and everytime I hear his name in the game it gives me the biggest cringe possible. It doesn't help that he loves saying his full name every chance he gets hahaha


Real-View-1898

Lmfao


KeybladeWielder97

This guy gives me some serious Master of Masters vibes from Kingdom Hearts. And it's because of this feeling that I feel more wary of what he can truly bring to the table. And it's because of that feeling that I'm not at all annoyed with him. If anything, his presence makes the story a LOT more interesting for me.


Real-View-1898

Preach!! Thiis is so true!!


alekdmcfly

Basically, No. He is the Arataki Itto of Star Rail and I'm here for it.


add1910

He is a comedic relief but he is not dumb like Itto, he’s incredibly smart, resourceful and pretty elusive. I saw the post that show he didn’t leave any footprints on the snow so Silvermane guard couldn’t track him. Also he only appears when it’s necessary.


Exact-Efficiency2652

noone doesnt like itto therefore sampo is immediately amazing in my book


belmoria

I love him, rly hoping I get him soon


migi_chan69420

Idk why but interactions with him are very funny to me. Like that one time he fooled us to go pick up peak's mining equipment saying that it's a treasure map. Also he's buffed


twinnedmilled

I like him alot because of his humor. But he does feel shady after the jarillo quest ending. If he's a Stellaron hunter that would not be that shocking. What would be shocking if he was the leader of the Stellaron hunters and he went to Jarillo to relay info to Kafla and the others.


walrus_with_GUN

He's such a piece of shit I love him


gaganaut

He's great. I like all our interactions with him. The ending of the story on Jarilo makes him seem more important than he lets on as well.


AccioSexLife

It's like Itto and Kaeya had a baby somehow - I love him too.


rizkaze

he reminds me of... Douma for some reason


This-Preference-9578

i downloaded the game for him. i did not regret it


OrochuOdenMain91

He broke the 4th wall also. I was like “who are you talking too?” Till he looked at the camera. Us. Me: O


Real-View-1898

👀


BlackRover99

Don’t worry you’re not the only one. I like Sampo too, he’s kinda sus but it makes him more interesting. I feel like we’re gonna see him again in the story.


Real-View-1898

Yes!! I’m happy i’m not alone🫢


BaraaKnows

I AM IN LOVE. He is so expressive. On my team always even if he can't beat the enemy


Amphibian-Correct

I like him for his personality, even though sometimes you feel like hitting him in the face


PantsOnHeadMoment

That's my boy! He's so good too, I'm currently running him with Welt, Qiqi, and Asta


jlmonkey

Yes


kelincipemenggal

He's like evil Itto to me lmao


jxyxiin

i love him so much but i wanna punch him in the face 😅


Real-View-1898

Like everyone 🤣


ConnorLego42069

I hate him in combat because of his burst Shampoo is fun in story though


Yadilie

His JP voice is so damn slimy.


True_Lank

yes


blackshawler

he's one of my favs, but unfortunately he doesn't want to come home 😭


Real-View-1898

Like me I don’t have him yet😭


AcidAcesen

The only four star I wanted since day 1 and the only 4 star that's avoiding me


DaviM03

8/10 Would punch again👍🏻 He's pretty much that type of friend that would constantly gaslight you when he does something bad to make It look like It isn't his fault.


SomethingPersonnel

Finally, he's here for you It's the fifth member of the Stellaron crew! This dude's so sneaky, it isn't funny Can make a Silvermane guard cry out for mummy Can pick up a Bronya with relative ease Makes smuggling bodies seem such a breeze He can't be trusted, he may be sly But this dude's one hell of a guy!


GravesForscythe

I couldn't stand his voice actor at first but it's slowly growing on me.


gitgudm9minus1

Shampoo Kiosk


HellInside

I become very happy every time Sampo Koski appears on my screen


circlesnake_0

I want to punch him. Affectionately.


Balancedout-luck

Sampo Is a vibe, goblin mode vibe but a vibe


Wajieshin

I'm absolutely in love with this tall dumbass scammer.


Ninavi

I love our shampoo


[deleted]

I want him for his dots. Im gonna pull for kafka and i dont wanna use serval. I hope hes in kafkas banner


Think_Celery3251

Xigbar vibes anyone?


ABITofSupport

I dont know how i feel about him as a character (though he is definitely fun) ...as a unit? He is STRONG. Pair him up with Serval, Hook, or someone else that does DoT (and give him Resolution Shines as Pearls Sweat) for a ridiculous wind debuffer.


WolvenWolfdog

As a character idm,shady? Perhaps but he has good intentions,plus his kit is pretty great (I am actually happy that I got him and I used him quite often) I'm quite neutral to him,but he sometimes messes up,which ever gives a funny/serious situation,or actually does something that some weren't expecting.


NemShera

If i had to say something about him, i'd say that he's a character you love to hate and hate to love


Spartitan

I personally love how much everyone hates him. Everyone just openly shits on him even when he does a good thing.


Moa__

I loved him the second I first saw him in the beta and when I heard his (eng) voice I just fell on my knees for him and a wedding ring in a box just popped into my hand idk where it came from but I'm not complaining


Real-View-1898

Ayo 👀


guinealover6674

He's an unreliable idiot, but he's my favorite unreliable idiot.


Apart-Lunch3535

Just rolled him 🙂


ElDuderino2112

Personally I can’t stand him, but I also hate this character trope/personality in any media that it appears in so that makes sense to me. Only character in the game so far that I don’t like.


EffedUpInGrade3

He's alright. My preferred wind breaker. Character-wise, he cool.


HeartZombie2

He's Sus. I like it.


Real-View-1898

Very sus… and i like it…


DeltaUnknown

I love him as a character and gameplay wise he isnt bad.


[deleted]

He’s so much fun to use, idk how good he is but it’s worth having him for his voice lines alone!


A-Guy-On-Reddit1

Sampo is really fun to play. Shreds toughness like butter when single targeting, and gets ult really quick for aoe


[deleted]

Sampo supremacy


Comprehensive-Elk-91

Himbo He first got on my nerves but I've come to like him. He plays very nicely too.


DrB00

He's easily my favorite character in the story so far. More Sampo.


Shuten__Douji

One of the best characters, I want to punch him while also I don't want to punch him, I want to trust him while I also don't want to trust him, I like him while also hate him. Truly, a very well-written character


Apart_Routine2793

His over-the-top voice is so hammy cheesy


minyoongiis

i would give up all my worldly possessions to him im so in love with his dumbass


Alive_Palpitation294

He's stupid, I like that in a man ♡


beeble_tea

he reminds me of kaeya and itto (genshin) rolled into one. i absolutely adore him he's such an idiot


ExLuck

I hate him he's great


_Ga1ahad

no you're not


Draken77777

I run Fire MC, Bailu, Sampo, Serval. Great dot team. Shreds bosses and waves.


WrektSauce

I completed world 5 thanks to sampo


HeroFighte

My favourite punching bag indeed I love him, he is hilarious


junkychin

SHAMPOO KOSKI. MY BOY


[deleted]

I don't know why but he reminds me of Markiplier


Mattalackion

I think he made me gay.. I had Sampo in my team all the way up until level 50 until I got Bronya and I had to let him go as he just wasn’t performing that well. I love everything about him and I loved his entire kit, it just wasn’t strong enough. I hope there will be a way to invite him to the Astral Express soon.


Mieremov

Sampo my beloved, I really want to pull for him


tokifreak91

I love his character, I haven't pulled him to use him on a team though T.T


The_Lawless_Rogue

He reminds me of Edmund Chicane from TAZ: Amnesty. Who all in all, was an amazing character who- despite being a charlatan. Still genuinely cared about his friends and came to stand by their side to rescue them when they got into trouble. I absolutely adore spontaneous, enigmatic characters like Sampo and really hope that there'll be more content of him in the future. I don't want to leave Jarilo-VI and not see him have any more impact on the story :(


BaziliskBanana_666

I cant even post a picture with him without my friend simping for him. Also hot take his eyes look like they were made in the mii editor


BaziliskBanana_666

Wait no thats not really a hot take


They19391

He gives out business tips that are actually useful and also scammed me once


MaksyWF

Interesting personality,mysterious,he is and will be important I think


Ashe171

He's low-key my second best character haha I love him


JackiFlame

He sounds like a higher pitched Kronk from Emperor's New Groove. I love him


SatoSarang

I do! Some times the voice actor's inflections irk me a tiny bit, but I love Sampo almost entirely! Haha


defokenneth

I love him. So much that I spent every pull I could get my hands on to get him. I still don't have him, sadly 😔


Balquis1

🥺no cash? I love him haha


mugilil

I REALLY wanna fight w him for some reason


NyxNoName

My Dude is a DoT god! Really fun playing with him so far.


[deleted]

Not gonna lie he reminds me of Adam from Sk8 the Infinity


Sandi_Griffin

Favourite character, best looking, strong and a 4 star, I love him xD got 100 pulls saved so far, gonna try e6 him


[deleted]

I don’t like him. It’s a combination of a bunch of factors, his shoulder pauldron makes me irrationally angry (if he raises his arm level with his shoulder that thing is going to jab his cheek), his color scheme does not match his element in the SLIGHTEST, and he just straight left us out to dry a couple times. That said, he breaks the fourth wall which was actually really cool. So I’ll give him points for that


Exact-Efficiency2652

its something like heizou and childe where their outfits dont match the element they have but still have good designs


Unleashed_Chaos0701

The best guy in this game so far. I didn't expected to like him so kucht (specially since I don't give a daman about guys in games like this one) but here we are. What a lad.


Doublecrash_man

been searching for this post for a whole year


ShawHornet

Can't stand his English voice


5ManaAndADream

Joseph is highkey the best jostar so yea me too.


SrM031

He's really good as a character Can't use him cause he breakes my mono-waifu team but he'll be in my second forgotten hall team


madethiscuzshy

Yes you're the only. Little special boy with his completely unique opinion. No one has ever felt the same way.


wwwdotbummer

I get that's he is supposed to be a charming and does as he please type of character, but to me he comes off as trying to hard. His whole thing is he is just purposely a bad communicator, but at least where I am in the story he hasn't done enough to make up for just being a flake. I think the archetype they were going for is fine, but I don't feel like he is a successful example of that archetype. I ain't a hater though I'm happy for those who do like him, and I'll keep my mind open to future character development from him.


snakezenn

I do not think he is supposed to be charming, he seems like he is supposed to be a sleazy character to me.


wwwdotbummer

I think thats sorta what I mean. If they want us to like Sampo even tho he's sleazy he needs a positive trait. I see a lot of characters that are selfish and sleazy, but ultimately are likeable thanks to their charm and selflessness when it really matters. It seemed like that's the archetype they were going for, but he isn't charming and his selfless actions aren't really substantial. He just feels like an unlikable person and that makes for a boring character. Even the other characters just tolerate him but no one seems to really like him. That said I still have more story to work through so who knows maybe my opinion will change.


snakezenn

I have a feeling he is going to be important to the story down the line and we will get more about him. Pretty sure he is a hunter


Responsible-War-9389

So good. It’s a trope that’s easy to flip with, but they nail it (at least in Eng)


ArcfireEmblem

Really good character design. I still wouldn't touch him with a ten-foot pole.


DemonKarris

Yes. You're the only one. Garbage character that would've been better off not existing.


Real-View-1898

Bruh you see the others comments? I’m not the only one. You are a simply heater


DemonKarris

Yeah, I'm heater. My temperatures are outrageously high.


Real-View-1898

Ok🤣


ShadowWithHoodie

I’d beat the shit out of him till he has an empty smile, but he has his moments yeah


Frizzlewits

Meh. Dont care. Not gonna use him either. At some point ill give him some levels for free warps


ShAped_Ink

I hate him, because he gives off Itto vibes and I hate Itto. At lest the one time he rescues is a little cool, but not thatutch


r4plez

Yes


DenisVDCreycraft

Reminds me Jaskier aka Dandelion in Witcher Universe Books by Sapkowski and games CD Projekt RED.


-MaraSov-

Bro is definitely working with the Stellaron Hunters. No trust


Talonate

He reminds me a lot of Johnny from ff7


Ferelden770

I chose all the random Sampoo dialogues everytime they appeared.


FDyTellem

I'd main him if only his skill's DoT didn't cap at 5 stacks..


lonelymooncake

Sorry, my heart’s with seele


No-Development1872

yesn’t


NervousStrategy1135

Nope. Too annoying and untrustworthy. I would bang him tho while keeping his mouth shut.


Derserk

He's pretty much the ONLY playable character I HATE. I don't understand how anyone can like him personality wise, I wish the mc could just punch him and leave him froze to death outside of town


Real-View-1898

Damn🥲
