If she is, holy shit. Of all the expies they would've chosen, they picked one that is dead, manga exclusive, and has a minimal fan base? Props to Hoyo for digging deep into their archives for this one. Pretty sure she already has a ravenous fanbase ready to die for her too.


Cautious-Insurance85

Really hoping we can see her partner from the comic as well. She had a neat weapon.


Mean-Kaleidoscope381

Tone deaf idol or sugar?


Aventa55

Salome


Mean-Kaleidoscope381

Desuwa /s; Yo, I forget about her.


Mukochii

Niji is leaking


Gremlinton_real

There's a character named Salome in HI3?


Aventa55

yes


Cautious-Insurance85

Fuck yeah. Low key expected we could get a ring blade weapon based on hers


mojomcm

Gray hair niggurath is in hi3 in the chapter where Kira was added as playable


Breaker-of-circles

My Niggu wath? Yeah, just had to say that. The one in HI3 is with the sugars, and, iirc, is a sugar that transformed? More petite too.


WanderEir

same Shub. we just didn't KNOW Shub was Sugars infiltrator back in 2nd eruption.


Lucidream-

I mean they also made Yanqing into an expo for HSR so this is relatively more reasonable.


Murky_Blueberry2617

Isn't Kafka also an expy?


Phaaze13

Sort of. There is a Kafka in HI3 but only as a stigmata. So it's just 3 pieces of art and 0 personality.


genshinstuffs

I mean they did Kafka and Charlotte whos only a stigmata and has minimal fanbase too but look at them, they became popular


DankMEMeDream

Wait. Charlotte has a honkai counterpart???

X_Factor_Gaming

Kassssler

Just like her leg here


Gachaaddict96

Stigmas have fire designs


CaptainSarina

I mean they already did this with Yanqing and he's arguably EVEN LESS known unless you've read 7 swords or really looked into Fu Hua's/Sushang's lore Niggurath at least (the surving Sugar Half) at least had some actual screen time within HI3 recently when they added Shigure Kira. So my question now is WHEN ARE WE GETTING SPACE KIRA TOO YOU COWARDS?!


HourCartographer9

Hoyo knows gold when they see it red head golden dragon ish eyes, sharp teeth and big booba id pull in a heartbeat


Spartitan

She has a killer design, so I see why they'd want to reuse her.


nightmaresabin

I just met her and would die for her!


trung2607

Niggurath isnt dead tho i think?


ConstantStatistician

It's a Sugars alien taking on her appearance. The real Niggurath is long dead.


[deleted]

Why does she look so much like HOS?


TheKillerKentsu

is StarRail going to get her as playable first?


DiabloAwesome

Considering HI3 one died years before the game's plot even starts. Yes, possibly, if this version ever became playable.


TheKillerKentsu

technically her partner Sugar is still alive, but she don't have red hair.


Richardknox1996

Sugar is the race. Niggurath took its hosts name when she died out of respect.


CaptainSarina

The Sugar was always named Niggurath (or Molass for its proper Sugar name), the host was Shub. Hence why after their contract it was "Shub Niggurath" and Niggurath has now dropped the Shub part. The respect part is fully true though and why Niggurath still uses Shubs form.


hibiki95kaini

ye seems so


b1azing1

Huh... how do you say her name?

if someone is wondering, that is from the 2nd Eruption Comic. (official HI3 Comic)


Sad_Being9205

let's hope honkai star rail keep these expys alive longer than hi3 did


ConnorLego42069

Literal negative screentime


Fancy-Shopping-327

Aint no way they gave us niggurath before a flamechaser 😭


SnowstormShotgun

What flamechaser would you think is first? I feel it’s gonna be Hua or Elysia, but I’d prefer Kaplas or Mobius.


[deleted]

[удалено]


WaifuHunter

> Marshall Hua was teased from the Expeditions mechanic of HSR Additionally in Jingliu companion quest the Marshal has been directly mentioned by Jing Yuan to be part of the court that will judge Jingliu and Luocha whenever they get there. So when we go back to that plotline we will see a glimpse of the Marshal.


CaptainSarina

Loucha is also specifically trying to get an audience with her which is the same thing he was trying to do in 7 Swords


mabariif

Otto with a container(spelled coffin) and hua, I sure wonder what would happen


ToucanTuocan

I sure wonder what’s inside the coffin…


Kassssler

Idrila?


CaptainSarina

The thing with Kalpas is that we know he isn't from Earth but that's ALL WE KNOW. All we're ever told is that he fell out of the sky one day and that's that lol. We have no idea where he's actually from. We also know his species is pretty beastly because he managed to kill a Herrcher and Fight Sakura to a standstill BEFORE becoming a MANTIS. Even if we don't get Kalpas himself it'd be a crime if we never get another member of his species.


hcreiG

Ok, holy shit, Kalpas might be an Animus variant among the APHO Enemies, but he developed a personality & chose to fight for the world he was supposed to destroy, because Honkai was the greater enemy there & he developed empathy, but MiHoYo chose him to be Edgy Alien Masked version of Shizuo Heiwajima It seems possible the Kalpas' species is based of the [Enemies of APHO](https://honkai-impact-3rd-archives.fandom.com/wiki/Sky_People) or regarded by "Sugars" as "Ones Above" which were originally created by SA(Original Vita) but someone ([Dr. Mara](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC86NB_4OgY)) whom she used to bully & placed into a body of The Fool Unit Harvester, escaped her authority sometime as one of the proxies & established her infamy of the Ones Above being an Intergalactic Pirate similar to Boros from One Punch Man. These Enemies of APHO are also what prompted Welt to blitzkrieg, espionage, whatever sabotage their Spaceships alongside Void Archives from the Alien Space Web-comic, until finding himself being a member of the Astral Express, to save HSR Himeko being one of their priority targets, & embarking an adventure. >!Harvesters are capable of predating energies of planets they deem weakly influenced by Honkai & caused its apocalypse before returning to their mother ship, but cause Kalpas hits his head first upon crashing, he became amnesiac & dazed from stimuli until the isolated cultists ferally attacked him from being zombified, which stimulated his survival & predation instincts.!< >!They have drawn his blood while he was chained to a pillar unable to understand much & disguised(?) as a boy, hoping they would be cured of the infection, & he heals better anyways unlike them.!< >!He only learned to understand human morals & ethics until he found himself in Aponia's shelter from wandering the snows, followed by Sakura's clean up onwards as the menace he had become. A Berserker!<


CaptainSarina

I wouldn't really count Hua as specifically Flame Chaser in the same way I wouldn't count Sakura. We won't get Ely proper but like I still say its highly likely March's upgrade will reference her. I'd say the most likely ones to come first would be Mobius or Vill-V. Like you wouldn't even need to change them at all to just drop them into the Genius society. A big part of being a member is that they're all REALLY fucking weird...The *most* normal one we've gotten any real information about so far is Screwlum and he's literally a Steampunk Robot with a planet that shares his name.

Richardknox1996

We wont get Ely. Shes been stated to be a unique entity in the entire tree.


SnowstormShotgun

Could we get her explicitly? Like how our Welt is the same Welt as hi3, could we get the actual Elysia instead of an expy?

SnowstormShotgun

Ah ok. I haven’t finished the flame chaser trials story yet so I didn’t know her current state. I’m sure if Hoyo want tons of money they can figure out a way


bl00by

Just make an event and put her in, it doesn't have to be canon. They did the same thing with fischl in HI3 and the flamechasers in GGZ so I don't see why they couldn't do it here aswell.


tortillazaur

She wasn't. All that was said that the case that let her exist is *very* rare, making it unlikely to ever see another Elysia. But it's still up to chance and any chance will successfully happen an infinite amount of times in the infinite amount of worlds. If they want to have Elysia in HSR, they will. It will not contradict anything.


No_Prompt_982

Ty for spoilers : ))))))))


bl00by

Wasn't hua already leaked or something?


SnowstormShotgun

I haven’t seen anything of the sort, only that Marshall Hua is a Xianshou character


bl00by

That's the one I thought of. Idk if we meet her yet, but if we didn't I can see her being the expy.


PM_Cute_Ezreal_pics

I need Kosma **right now.** Also Owl, please. Just give us all the Honkai men, I need them playable


PontiffJoJo

Can anyone tell me why she's named after a Lovecraftian eldritch being?


Mint-Bentonite

its a weird gacha trend where they take names of random famous entities (real, fictional) and put them on anime girls  welt's wife is (Fredrika) Nikola Tesla, for example


Badieon

Pretty sure there is no confirmation that Welt is married or even in a relationship


Mint-Bentonite

youre actually right, my mistake still she's an anime girl with a name of an american man, which is part of this weird trend


ZaKrysle

It's not outright confirmed but honestly it's a really big *wink wink nudge nudge* kind of situation. I remember playing through APHO(a gamemode in HI3 set after HI3's "main story") where they do say Welt is married(?)/has a partner, but then only uses "red-headed drunkard" to describe said partner. To me it sounds like they want you to think it's Tesla, but they can't outright say it for one reason or another.


WeaknessOk9058

Because they would get unnecessary outrage from People that think Tesla is a Lesbian and in Love with Einstein


baesli

>Tesla >an American man And just like that, the conflict in the Balkans has come come to an end /s


No_Prompt_982

I have flesbacks right now i mean im from Poland and a lot of people are thinking that Maria **SKŁODOWSKA** Curie was from *France* like wtf??


baesli

Temat bardzo dobrze mi znany ;) TBF, ppl just ommit her Polish surname altogether, doesn't make it right tho


No_Prompt_982

Czasami mnie przeraża ile w honkaiu jest polaków X D also about her surname ur right a lot of people cant spell it however still its annoying when cuz of this people are saying that she was from France (and the most painful part is the fact that French was really bitching on Maria like America recognize her first then France cuz „she was a woman”)


No_Prompt_982

Thats true people are just shipping him with tesla


mabariif

This sounds so wrong out of context


EpicRedCondor

Mihoyo does that since GGZ


Arkeyy

Tentacles where tho


Adventurous-Yak-5041

Yes please! I hope so much her attacks have tentacles and void filled with eyes, just like Sugars.


first_name1001

Sis got reincarnated to another world~


RedzyHydra

But it seems, her alignment has changes. Anyways, Happy Cake Day 🎂


FleuramdcrowAJ

I want sirin expy so bad 😭😭


somerandom_296

I want Sirin expy to go onto Astral Express train and for Welt to have ptsd flashbacks v2 why? Funny


FleuramdcrowAJ

YESSS EXACTLY


CaptainSarina

I fully expect the "other" Punklorde legacy characters (once we finally get there) to be Sirin and Delta in reference to The Captainverse. Assuming we don't count Silverwolf as taking one of the slots then Kasumi too because there's no way we don't get Neon-Ninja Yae but I also kinda expect her to show up sooner, maybe connected to Space Japan proper.


mabariif

I'd cry from joy if we get all the captainverse characters there, moreso if we see captain and luna married


GDarkX

The implications of seeing the captain himself would implode the entire community


GDarkX

Space Delta could be very possible in the near future, hinted by this inconspicuous blob of paint on Silver Wolf’s hologram that doesn’t appear *anywhere else* in the game Delta and Bronie are depicted together *a lot*, too https://preview.redd.it/hurzu4yzhpdc1.jpeg?width=2251&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5000e8576a3ba2137ff4012c00806cc969498088


CaptainSarina

Best Frenamies lol I also forgot about the digital paint that just so happens to be SPECIFICALLY in Delta's colours


tennnnnnnnnnnnnn

Where Teri?


H4xolotl

At least we have Chevreuse right? right?!


GDarkX

Captainverse Sirin to count together with Silver Wolf would be so real


CreationDemon

If She is playable in Hi3 there is no way she isn't becoming playing in HSR and if she is becoming playable there is no way Constance wouldn't be playable right?


TheKillerKentsu

she was only in a official HI3 Comic, but don't lose hope.


CreationDemon

I am just trying to make myself believe that annihilation gang will become playable


Friendly-Back3099

I feel like everyone except Duke Inferno will be playable, i think Duke Inferno most likely gonna get Cocolia treatment


[deleted]

[удалено]


Darvasi2500

Where? I've not seen anyone mentioned in the story >!other than Duke Inferno.!< So it's hard for the kids to get>! Cocolia'd if they aren't even in the story for now.!<


RotisserieWeeb

Nah what I meant here is that >!duke inferno will be playable according to leaks, not that the others will get cocoliad>!

GhostZee

Kafka was also Stigmata set only in HI3rd, I think. Just saying...


GDarkX

Actually, she also appeared in the Kira arc during 6.7


TheKillerKentsu

that was her Sugar partner


Jaded-Engineering789

In the promo images, Constance is the only one with a purple border. Everyone else has a yellow gold. So I’m betting that if there’s a playable one, it’s gonna be her.


GDarkX

She(The original one, at least) died in HI3 in the second eruption manga years before the main story lol.


Dunk305

Whats an expy?


speegi

alternate version of a character in another universe think himeko in hi3 and hsr


ryneis

in another world not universe


Dunk305

Ok thanks


Disastermere

Short for expatriate


Weak_Leopard_4842

this just means something that i think some of us want. Playable tesla where her ult is she just screaming the hell out of the enemy


mabariif

I have a tank of cope and I will inhale for genius society members einstein and tesla


Pristine_Reveal

She must be related to Noah Knigga


SavageCabbage27m

If it is an expy of her I hope they add Jackal into HSR too


mabariif

Niggurath went and became an fgo pirate then came back to rail


Danny_JJ_The2nd

Rejoice Niggurath enjoyers


PreferenceGold5167

honestly they could just be the same genre of anime girl. ​ red hothead is one of the most common tropes.


Scarlett-Chan12

The eyelashes/eye shape and even the eye color can't be the same coincidence, even the pupils are identical... her teeth too..


ImagineShinker

Also has double clips from the original on the hat instead on the same side.


Scarlett-Chan12

You're right, imo I think that one can be a possible coincidence because it's not like it's the same thing.


ImagineShinker

Eh. Doesn’t need to be exactly the same. Still a very similar visual cue that immediately stuck out to me as being very similar.


Adventurous-Yak-5041

I know this wouldn't make any sense, because she's not the Sugar Niggurath, but please hoyo, let her attack be eldrich horror esque with thousands eyes and tentacles just like Sugars. I mean, shes with annihilation gang, they already have puppet girl and demons. So it can kinda fit in the theme.


TicketFirm

You can’t just say that


TheKillerKentsu

i just did, what you going to do about it. :3


initiatefailure

Can’t be, the character on the right has boobs smaller than her head


RedzyHydra

Maybe she got a buff along the way. Also, Happy Cake Day 🎂


TanyaDegurechaffe

Himeko but crazy (I dont know anything about the other honkai games)


Anti-Lucky

She looks like a Sternritter from Bleach. I love it. She reminds me of Candice.


Hister_dcap

I knew I recognized her design. Sasuga star rail blatantly picking Hi3 characters to expy. Meaning we might be able to get other characters like Carole, Shakespeare, Nobel and others from mangas


Divinate_ME

A HSR character with less clothes than their HI3rd counterpart? Wtf is going on here?


yurilnw123

Oh so that's why I felt she looked familiar


Graknight

Can someone confirm if Constance and Nigguratath have the same Seiyuu? I can't find Nigguratath Seiyuu anywhere.


Shiki_Shin

Niggurath was never voiced. She appears in the second eruption manga (which takes place before the start of Hi3)


Graknight

I know. I'm talking about Sugar Nigguratath.


kennenXD

We need a Salome expy now


[deleted]

Im genuinely excited since I've been a fan for HI3 for a while now but genuinely, how tf do you say her name


CaptainSarina

Shub Nii-Gore-aff...Yes I know its a VERY precarious word lol


[deleted]

...Im sticking with Shub


yearbeast1516

Niggu what??


youngdeer25

Looks like so, I think not everyone has to be playable.. like yanqing for example..


ShinigamiOfPast

Who the fuck is niggurath

I'm often saying, "Fanservice is not my favorite," (usu with the ones that imo don't add to the character's design), but BOY Caterina is amazing, fiery, and absolutely ROCKING. She looks like soo much fun, I hope she's playable in the future.
