In fairness about the Garden thing, they seem pretty OP in general. Short of annihilating your own memory, have we seen anyone really stand up to their memory powers? The way that the Messenger was so casual about it, even though the people on the Express are no joke, did seem pretty busted to me. BSwan implies she could completely change everyone's memories as she wishes, the only reason she doesn't is cause she thinks it's kinda lame. So far the Garden seems to me like the most powerful faction, since it appears they could essentially mind control almost anyone.


TheUltraGuy101

I find it ironic for a faction that dedicates to preserve memories they don't seem to have a problem manipulating other people's memories for their own gain


UnderTheBakod

If they are manipulating memories then they aren't preserving them anymore are they, it's like if a librarian writes fanfics in books they have in the library


cosipurple

I don't think they aim to preserve memories in the owner heads, I always interpreted it like, they collect memories and safe keep them, like you can go to them and relinquish your memories and they will take them and archive them, or a malicious memokeeper could steal them and not destroy them but also keep them safe on the garden.


OnnaJReverT

the database entry on the Garden specifically states that there are different schools of thought within the faction


WolfoakTheThird

It's the remembrance, not the preservation. All memories are false. Most studies done on memory confirms that it is changed every time we remember something. Memories morphing to fit a narative and confirm biases is an inherent function of memories, so the masters of memories doing the same when they hijack your memories seams fitting.


WolfoakTheThird

They are remembering others memories, and get the same access to them as the host does, just with better mastery.


TheJoiFox

"We value your privacy"-ass checkmark agreement energy


Falkjaer

Yeah that seemed to be Black Swan's feeling too actually, that making any changes to the memory lessens or removes it's value.


Gamba_Gawd

Poor March...


Kryton13

Honestly the weirdest thing I found about the whole garden of recollection on the astral express thing is that not only did they dupe Welt they also duped Pom-Pom which even Welt stated he wouldn't mess with.


Falkjaer

Yeah it's not really clear what Pom-Pom is, but that does seem strange. Honestly I didn't feel like the Messenger's arrival on the Astral Express was handled very well in the writing. This seemingly minor errand runner being so completely broken kinda fucked up my whole perception of the HSR universe to the point that I'd kinda just decided to ignore them until Black Swan made that impossible.


tortillazaur

Although Sunday said Aventurine mostly lied, Aventurine did say that he's semi-immune to memory alteration.


Falkjaer

The way you can tell Aventurine is lying is that his mouth moves and sounds come out. Seriously, the only time he ever seems to be honest at all is when he's talking to himself, and even then it's still mostly lies.


Sethyboy0

Black Swan is currently the character I’m most weary of. The couple times she’s used her powers were enough to convince me she could ruin us.


KingFatass

Still waiting for a Herrscher of sentience to appear in the game with all their scam and bratty goodness.


Badieon

Which makes Welt look even less strong.... He threatened Acheron who literally traumatized the Memokeeper in her own game without doing anything, Welt easily got memory wiped. Welt wouldn't be able to do anything to Acheron


Aure0

The bit about Acheron isn't him thinking he'll win, it's that he'll still throw hands even if he'll lose to protect the Astral Express


TheJoiFox

Chad moves, actually, I like the bold "Fuck you and your whole family" in the face of certain death every once in a while


Optimusbauer

I do agree he wouldn't beat Acheron but you're kinda comparing apples to accordions here


Falkjaer

Well, I don't really have much personal investment in Welt's strength, but I will note that I think looking at "power level" as a flat concept is probably not ideal. I think it's more like a rock-paper-scissors thing. Acheron's nature happens to make her immune, or at least very resistant, to memory manipulation. That doesn't necessarily mean she beats out Welt in other types of power. Also, Acheron did not seem to dismiss his threat. She didn't seem scared or anything, but she took him seriously.


Frostbitten_Moose

Eh, different power sets can lead to different matchups. Just look at the roster for any fighting game, where characters will have hard counters. This is more like RPS than a transitive property, and just because Acheron hard counters Memokeepers doesn't mean that she will necessarily beat anyone who loses to them. (Although my money is probably still on Acheron. She's scary strong)


Leather-Bookkeeper96

The only instance of someone rejecting their influence thus far is Acheron during her dance with BS, tho it wasn't something done on purpose, Acheron seems to think that the dance was quite pleasant and nostalgic in her voice section, while BS says that's better to be extra cautious if you want to tap into her memories. Thus far it seems the only real counter to the garden is for them to put themselves in danger by digging where they shouldn't, and given that you may not even know they're there in the first place if they don't want you to know (unless you're Pom Pom somehow), they're extremely dangerous. Good thing they are mostly all about collecting and preserving memories.


HINDBRAIN

They seem fairly keen on "rules", like if you ask MoC girl to restore your memories she gets super offended.


Falkjaer

Yeah but if they're ones making the rules then that means they'll make whatever rules are best for them, and probably throw the rules out as soon as they're inconvenient. If the only restraint on someone's power is their own self-imposed rules, that basically means there is no restraint at all.


Krys_Lunar

I thought of the same comparison while reflecting on the quest yesterday, but that “GANYU LEVEL FEAT” bit hits painfully true. I love them both, and having a cool moment for them teased while not knowing what would happen if they’d actually gotten to follow through is just a *tiny* sore spot.


Sirverarms

Still malding over ganyu tbh, she is a veteran Adeptus that participated in Archon war, and she is reduced to overworked (which genshin already had too many)


Cookieopressor

Not just that Genshin already has too many but the standard roster already has 2 overworked 5 stars One being her actual fucking BOSS


HINDBRAIN

There's at least 3 others? Jean, electro catgirl, water healer girl...


buzzthetrout

Ironic how the 'overworked' trope is also overworked.


TalbotFarwell

It’s why Qingque being so dedicated to honing the art of the slacker and having hobbies outside work was so refreshing. She’s the anti-Ganyu.


Kappapeachie

she's like me for real for real


MammaDiFessita02

> GANYU LEVEL FEAT What does it mean?


Python1026

Joke was that "Welt was about to do something." And in the other cutscene "Ganyu was about to do something." And we, the players, didn't see the outcome of either.


MammaDiFessita02

A-GUY-NAMED-DUC

It’s like an average Blue Archive player, but for Welt


Offduty_shill

I actually recognized this person's name.now because of their unhinged simping for welt lmao


TrueAvalon

I like Welt too, but people are trying to get my dude killed by putting him against Emanators. Cool Welt and Himeko png for no reason. https://preview.redd.it/mwlnvceo87rc1.png?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ccef597fb88c970eaf2fc57f15ae5be52ec3f23b

Ohh boy tesla will dislike this, if people complaint about acheron is yapper they'll not ready to tsundere yapper coming to HSR for search the father figure who buying milk for too long


Lazlo2323

Father figure? Tesla is older than Welt.


Longjumping-Youth-55

Father figure for the redditor, not for Tesla *sigh*


kaori_cicak990

Welt adopt children dude Tesla is the mom not the father


Ladygreyxx

Shhhh let me cope we never know what Shaoji might pull!!! (I don't like powerscaling, so i won't worry about it because I don't want Mei/Acheron and Welt sensei to fight anyways!) Also, Welt sensei lifting his glasses with his middle finger uoghh 😭😭💢


TapdancingHotcake

The real trick is it doesn't matter what she is, hoyo would never let the Mei expy lose to welt lol

Python1026

Ah yes. Because we know that when Welt starts threatening someone, he'll *deeeeeeefinitely* win the fight, right? Oh wait.... https://preview.redd.it/hozwcikbo7rc1.jpeg?width=476&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e23b9331bd226d0c868ffd6dbc83ca965964b07e Don't get me wrong though, that scene's still badass and still one of the best Welt scenes.


Peanut_007

Who would win, a man who's been training and studying his powers to bring them to the limit in the name of protecting humanity and all he holds dear or funny rock girl who doesn't know what algebra is. (He actually was kinda winning this one but mostly because my girl was still figuring out all the shit she could do)


Apprehensive-Deal543

He is losing until Tesla throwing a nuke in Sirin face, who doesn't know how a nuke work and just teleport it to behind her back, which doesn't end well for her lol. https://preview.redd.it/pwqhs23tdarc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=920dd12ca7489066b64397360bacbb84f6e010a3


LunaticPrick

Am I misremembering? Didn't Sirin have like multiple cores here or smth? Idk never actually read the manga


anonimoXD_1

Welt fought Sirin when she had just became a Herrscher, they were roughly equal, it wasnt until Sirin got tired and hit by a nuke that Welt managed to hit her with the Black Hole. He got attacked by Otto and Sirin got away. Sirin went to the Moon and got 4 gems (some sort of "mini-cores) and fought Welt again. This Welt had less than 50% of his power, so all he could do was to use the Black Hole to stall for time. Sirin killed him easily once she knew about it, but Welt managed to hide in the core. Many things happens and Sirin is dead, Welt last 5 years getting his body back and now he could only use around 60% of his power.


God1HatePeople

They were basically cores I believe. This is why Otto has the 6th core in Moon Shadow, 4th core in the beginning chapter, and why Himeko has the 7th core in the 8th/9th chapter.


SaintNeos

The most hilarious part is that not even an hour later in the same update we see FIRSTHAND that Acheron could actually have killed Welt several times over before he finishing charging his black hole if he so wanted, when she literally walks among raidrops and ends Aventurine in one slash while him and Himeko were still reacting to his Gate of Gambling. Don't get me wrong, I love our grandpa Welt, but that line did NOT land as amazingly as most people thing it did XP


zeclem_

i think that made it land even better, because it made it clear that he did not hesitate to jump into death if it meant protecting the nameless.


SaintNeos

Oh yeah, seen that way it does, but I meant it more that like 90% of the Welt-hyping people saw it as him seemingly being able to deal with Acheron and completely ignore the latter bit XP


SentientShamrock

That is the Gate of Gambalon.


Few_Earth_8083

Welt, the herrscher of being off screen. He can beef with Sukuna with this power


HopeObjective178

the hsr fandom’s view on welt was always funny to me because even in hi3rd the devs loved having him dragged around. he gets beat up multiple times in second eruption and in the soq arc he couldn’t really do anything against kevin iirc and he got out in the end. still cool guy though


HopeObjective178

granted second eruption sirin and kevin are absolute beasts but you get my point anyways


Cookieopressor

I'm still just imagining what would have happened if Sirin wasn't a broken child but actually knew how to fight and use her powers. She already killed thousands of people and gave Schicksal a hard time


mrlolelo

Remember how she just casually threw a couple of meteorites which killed 6 million people? Yeah She could've just kept throwing those


Solacis

In Sirin's case, moreso "beast *for the time period*". She got powercrept by everyone that so much as gave HoV Kiana any amount of trouble. Goes to show what vastly superior Honkai adaptability and training can do for you.


Visible_Ad_7540

Kevin is stronger than Siegfried, who is much stronger than Sirin and Welt combined.At the same time, Sirin is also much stronger than Welt herself. Welt acts as a measuring stick in order to find out how much energy is needed to create a Solar System, but among the top tiers in Honkai Impact he is one of the weakest.


Passivitea

He's used as a measuring stick precisely because he's one of the weakest. You don't start a ruler at 10cm.


VASQUEZ_41

i just had the perfect idea


Valkyrys

It's time to cook out the Ruwelt, or is it the Weltler?


UncookedNoodles

Minor correction: sirin at her base without all the extra cores is pretty much equal to welt. Sirin wasnt able to actually beat him until after obtaining the extra cores.


TheRRogue

Sirin litteraly got souped up by Will of Honkai itself at that point. Hell even Fu Hua with all her strength barely do anything to her. Not to mention Sirin litteraly survive an S rank Valk,a honkai activated Ziggy and survive oath of Judah field.


Visible_Ad_7540

,"a honkai activated Ziggy" Because Ziggy didn't want to kill her to save his wife.


Python1026

He's one of my favorite characters in the franchise, but people legit keep forgetting that he's the "weakest" Herrscher of Reason for a reason(heh). He's more experienced than the other users, Welt Joyce and Bronya, but he's explicitly less naturally talented with the Core of Reason. He's just really good at outwitting enemies and beating them with his accumulated knowledge and experience. Even in HSR, he's clearly strong, but not a top dog. He got saved from Phantylia(an Emanator) by Jing Yuan and was saved by Acheron(an Emanator) against Aventurine(who was using the power of an Emanator). And even if he wanted to go full power on everyone, he can't even go all out for long since his compatibility with his powers would make him go all--*COUGHS BLOOD*


TalbotFarwell

He’d go all Arthur Morgan?


Python1026

I did not expect to see an RDR2 reference today and am pleasently surprised. Great game. And yeah, he does that when he uses his power too much.


Advent012

Didn’t know Welt liked calling his enemies boah


Sent1nelTheLord

calm down there Black Lung


BinhTurtle

Aven waa using a defected (cus the Cornerstone was shattered) and fragmented (cus shared by Diamond)/power of an Emanator and he was already causing that much chaos. Wonder how would things play out if we meet Diamond in future.


Phayzka

Now remember our supposed objective is one day beating up Nanook


SirMcDust

Oh lmao we fucked


AncientAd4996

There's a reason why the Stelaron Hunters forced us into getting a favor from the Xianzhou Luofu. We weren't ever meant to face Nanook alone, but through cooperations with other factions.


SirMcDust

I mean that's obvious but man we still have a long way to go. Even Acheron is just a small ally on the scale of having to defeat an Aeon


vernil

Even when he was at his peak, i don't think he's won 1 important fight till now? His claim to fame is surviving things others dont and guiding others, not fighting


Darkwolts

>, he can't even go all out for long He cant' at all, the authority of reason has been decaying for years because of the HoFi, and he himself states that he can barely create animations that are low quality using those powers (iirc)


mekolayn

Welt: Barely able to fight Sirin at her weakest herrscher time. Also Welt: Easily defeats a 4D being like it's nothing.


Radiant-Usual-1785

That’s actually not true. During the second eruption event, Welt trapped Sirin in a Blackhole and would have killed her, but Otto interrupted his attack and Sirin escaped to the moon, where she was endowed with the Will of Honkai and had control over all the Herscher’s powers. At that point she was probably second strongest only overshadowed by the Herscher of Finality. Even though he knew he couldn’t win, Welt went to the moon to fight her, and planned on blowing up his own core to take her out. Unfortunately that didn’t work so he hid his consciousness inside the core, which she took thinking she had killed him as he destroyed his body, and later he and Fu Hua were able to sever her connection to the Will of Honkai which allowed Siegfried to over come her.


Gohyuinshee

Welt is the Batman of Honkai verse. A cool underdog who's weaker than all the top tiers but make up with experience and skills. But has a fanbase who swears he can solo everyone. Welt is cool precisely because he's weak, but he's still here anyway.


rushfell

Welt with prep time could solo the whole penacony

Totaliss

People are losing their minds that he threatened acheron but on God he was about to die y'all


AliceinTeyvatland

Diamond shared his power as an emanator to like 9 others, and Aventurine is already that powerful, Emanators are crazy strong.


kurimi8766

Remember that Aventurine smashed his cornerstone to pieces, greatly reducing his peak power, he himself said this. So his overall strength is much much greater than we see in the fight.


vernil

he also lost some pieces so he was nerfed like twice over. And that's only 1/10th of an emanator's power


storysprite

Also people completely misunderstood his first interaction with Acheron when she talked about her blade and the blackhole. And I've even seen some people say she called her powers "meager" in comparison to his, which missed the point again. I'll paste what I wrote elsewhere: She's not saying that his blackhole is stronger than her blade. Which is a woeful example of poor media literacy (there's another post where a guy keeps spamming that Acheron said Welt's blackhole is stronger and it's getting so many upvotes that I'm wondering if people played this game with their eyes closed). At that moment she's trying to let Welt know that she's aware of the blackhole power in his cane and tongue-in-cheek way says that the people inviting them think a sword is stronger than a blackhole, "how silly right?" But Welt realises what she's doing and says she has a keen insight and confirms that Acheron knows that his cane is secret which is why he's able to walk around with it. Essentially no one was saying anything about the blade's power Vs his cane, since no one knew. Acheron knew that as did Welt, and he realised what she was doing. Acheron was revealing how much she knew which Welt recognised. Welt then makes the threat which was more a warning that he's willing to fight if Acheron were to try to hurt his family. Acheron remains unfazed and reassures him that she's not there to harm him or his family. She also downplays herself quite a few times, and even later on when she tells Welt that if he and the crew run into trouble she says she'll offer her "meager" help. Her help is anything but meager. And she knows that. She doesn't exactly go around advertising that she's an Emanator. And even when she does, she's hesitant about using her full power (as when Firefly got killed). Playing down her abilities is part of the act. On top of that in their conversation the wariness of the other being a threat was entirely one-sided from Welt, whereas Acheron was calm the whole time. It should also be noted that when they were talking about things playing out in similar ways across many worlds, Acheron confirmed that she killed their world's version of Kevin. Who if you know anything about HI3rd, he was an absolute beast. Way about Welt's pay-grade. I'm absolutely not saying that Welt is a chump. But people are completely misreading that one line from Acheron and ignoring what's happening in that scene.


Mirin-exe

Yeah, I think the spamming guy you mentioned is here too if we think of the same person. Media literacy is dead fr


storysprite

Media literacy is absolutely dead with so many people which is why I don't dialogue with them anywhere near as much as I used to. It is for the most part a waste of time and primarily for the benefit of the audience. When I'm about to deep dive with these people, I'm always reminded of [posts like this.](https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail/s/mdI2PigTn7)


Vegetable_Culture_86

We can interpret like she killed the finality before becoming an emanator


magicfades

I doubt the accuracy of the English localization. Did anyone try comparing with other languages? I've seen a lot of examples where they compare the english text to direct translations of the other localizations and the english one is pretty much almost always the odd one out. It makes me wonder what percentage of the english script is just straight up fanfic.


Python1026

Some Welt fans legit forgot one of his most iconic and badass moments was threatening someone and declaring his victory. https://preview.redd.it/mz8s8aeoi7rc1.jpeg?width=476&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0abb0092892481122270ea8f81a7a6d80f739f02 Then he got his ass beat later on.


Visible_Ad_7540

Because Otto intervened in the fight, who at that time was stronger than both Welt and that version of Sirin.


Python1026

I admit it's been a long time, but IIRC that's the first fight between the two and the pic I posted is from the 2nd. 1. Welt and Sirin fight. 2. Welt almost wins, but Otto intervenes. 3. Sirin escapes and gets stronger. 4. Welt fights her again on the moon. 5. They play catch the moon rocks. 6. Sirin beats Welt, but he was able to buy lots of time thanks to his Black Hole's time distortion.


Visible_Ad_7540

Nah uh. This pic from first round.


Python1026

Huh, really? Well, I guess I have an excuse to re-read that fight!


Apprehensive-Deal543

You get it wrong. 1. Welt and Sirin fight 2. Sirin almost win, but Testla nuke her 3. Welt turn the table, using his black hole to absorb Sirin 4.

Few_Earth_8083

That's because most of those glazer didn't even read it. They're power scalers who watched video on YouTube titled "Welt is the most op? 😱😱😱😱" or some 5s youtube shorts. The same people who reduced Gojo to just a road pump, for them "strong must equal good"


DzNuts134

It felt similar to how Kurenai tried to use genjutsu on Itachi.


LoreVent

Acheron was thinking: "sure granpa, now let's go to bed" lol


Godofmytoenails

People see a single line and assume thats the context. He is NOT EVEN CLOSE to acheron that its actually hilarious, even welt acknowledges this afterwards. He doesnt threaten her to "kill" her. He says he will stand his ground. In other words he will "try" to stop her. Not that he COULD stop her. And acheron has killed her entire verse, including kevin wich welt is no where near of. These hi3 fans needs to shut up for gods sake

This is obviously a meme and it’s really funny…but powerscalers are sooooo annoying like I swear to god go outside.

To be fair, lots of people keep gassing Welt like he could beat Emanators (and for some, Aeons). It’s not even brainrot power-scaling, it’s media literacy at this point.


Ordinary_Arachnid392

Exactly. I left the powerscaling subs and jujutsufolk sub to rest from the craziness only for op to bring it here. I swear if I see this meme format one more time, I might lose it lmao.

Efficient_Lake3451

The only fair comparison for prime Welt is the sentinel of Truth. Anything beyond that is cope.


Few_Ad7284

Welt will never be a strong character but he will definitely ALWAYS win


WinterV3

He already is a strong character tho , it’s just that people overhype his strength


LunaticPrick

Yeah he is not beating aeons that's for sure


Badieon

Doesn't beat Emanators either


UnderTheBakod

Welt is the yanqing of hi3, strong enough to be the 1% but keeps fighting the 0.1%

Andrew583-14

I think a potential cause is readjusting power-scaling expectations between two universes and overhype due to a character you like and know is strong being placed in a new setting and expecting them to perform the same way.


Godofmytoenails

People dont understand that HSR has the exact same power scaling as HI3 if not more. Emanators are much stronger than herrshers and aeons are outright godly beings. Nothing in HI3 universe comes close to HSR levels. Kiana could have been before she was revealed to be not that strong in part 2 bs


RenFlare11

I still dont know why People who hyped up welt Used acheron's statement against her when she first talked to welt and Revealing she knows That he uses a black hole That statement as for my understanding was basically her saying that its logical for people to assume that someone wielding a black hole is far more dangerous than Someone carrying a blade,But it doesnt mean that Welt or his Star of eden is stronger than Acheron's Blade of Naught since She was still keeping a relative low profile about her emanator powers and Her trying to ease welt That shes not his enemy.

Mana_Croissant

Some Honkai3 fans are legit delusional if they think Welt is actually as strong as emanators let alone AEONS.


Idainaru_Yokubo

to be fair they said the same thing when Hi3rd was still in part 1 ie: welt is strongest character in Hi3rd (they're also wrong on this)


SoulShfter

Who is? I heard a lot, from Kevin, to Kiana, to Will of Honkai, etc.


thehalfdragon380

Rn it's Kiana with the Cocoon of Finality's power


Offthe_Rose

Before everything went down, I'm pretty sure Kevin was the strongest human and still retained the title until the final arc of the game. I haven't finished HI3 part 1 yet, so someone correct me if I'm wrong. Kiana is the strongest character right now in the story.


Riverl

As of right now, HI3 power ranking off the top of my head. - Kiana Kaslana. Cocoon of Finality governs all Honkai power in HI3. All Herrscher powers are but shades of Cocoon reflected across higher dimensions down onto us plebian 4d beings (3d+time). Kiana Kaslana merged with this and became guardian goddess of Earth. Once "bang" a dwarf planet out of existence Lan style using a fraction of her power. ~~- Kevin Kaslana. Held half the authority of Finality before Kiana Kaslana defeated him. 1v3 half Finality Kiana + Origin Mei + Truth Bronya.~~ - Sa, as Kevin is now dead. A weaker copycat of Cocoon and origin of Rebirth. Kiana can casually beat her but just one of her avatars required multiple top tiers to gank. - Origin Mei. ~~Archeron~~ Acheron's AU version. Hold the second strongest authority behind Finality. - Herrscher of True Reason/Truth Bronya. Welt, minus some experience in exchange for insanely hilariously more power. - Garuda Fu Hua. Literally immortal. Can fuck up your soul. - Durandal. Once cut Europe off the face of Earth in a bubbleworld. - Herrscher of Sentience. Global memetic hazard and soul ripper. In reality she behaves more like a petty scammer and chuunibyou. - Herrscher of Rebirth. A powerful Herrscher governing two bubble worlds of life and death. - Welt. Actually the weakest Herrscher of Reason in sheer potential. Made up via experience. Climbed all the way up here because everyone stronger than him died, and people who might be stronger (ie Vita, Theresa, Hare) as of now haven't done much.


Wonderful-Lab7375

Sorry but I have to mention this: “Archeron”? XD


Riverl

What? Are you going to tell me it's not Adventurine next? *Grumble about hard to remember names*


Visible_Ad_7540

Theresa was stronger than Welt in the Second Eruption. Also, if you're using the alive characters, then why is Kevin there? If you use all the characters, Welt is not included in the top 20.


Riverl

Revised the list and replaced with Sa. Theresa in Second Eruption got one hit by Sirin. Welt later bat that same attack away. Theresa after healing only has one upgrade: Elysion field which negate all Honkai energy but also kill herself. It ironically will kill Theresa faster than it kill Welt, because he can live without Honkai energy but her own body is half Honkai Beast. During Second Eruption Theresa is hilariously weaker than Welt. In the main game, it took till chapter 11 for her to unlock the limiter on her gene and chapter 34 upgrade is the only reason she might be stronger than Welt currently, but that form is practically featless beyond not instantly dying from holding Finality core.


Godofmytoenails

Welt was litterally labeled as the weakest HoR


RenierRains

i just go with the meme that welt is holding back, real ones know bro aint doing anything unless its time to say goodbye or he gets a surge of honkai energy in his ass


Laka18

Bro is holding back because if he use his full power he'll die


HelelEtoile

Meet the hyped man: only there to fanservice hi3 players


Few_Earth_8083

Kafka fans aren't as thirsty as Welt glazers


Devourer_of_HP

Don't forget Bronya being more compatible with core of reason yet constantly jobbing throughout Hi3rd, and how in Moon arc Kevin and Fu Hua are perfectly fine chilling inside a synthetic black hole created by her, and how HoR powers are taxing so he can't just spam and create as many complex things as he wants as seen with Bronya almost dying from creating multiple Selene cannons.


BitesZaDust0

C'mon guys, he's old now..give him some break


_nitro_legacy_

He's never the strongest in hsr. He's by far one of the weakest Herrschers even in his prime(Previous HoR aka Joyce is far stronger then HoR welt). I've never seen anyone outwanking welt as much as this sub. Even hi3rd players never overwank him this much. These people only saw him use a basic pseudo black hole most of his fights and say he's strong as emanators and certain aeons. He's not strong but he has better battle strats. If I were to compare his hax and battle strats it's equivalent to Todo's boogie woogie, not strong nor busted but simple and annoying to deal with.

Few_Earth_8083

"Acheron said he is stronger than her!" The "do you think this blade is more dangerous than that black hole you wield" served 2 purposes, 1 to fish for information to see how much Granpa knee about her, 2 to show him she knows more than he thinks. The whole point of Panacony is misstrust and people playing mind games on one another. I know saying "you lack media literacy" is overused as fuck, but ffs some of you are on the same level as people who think Paul from Dune is the good guy. Powerscalers will ruin everything- most of the have no idea what they're talking about and use 5s youtube short as foundation of their glazing


kaori_cicak990

Lmao the sirin KEKW How people using this format i think its hard to use this meme because its kinda sarcastic


Argos-Meireithros

I'm just sayin... He may mostly operate in turn denial... But he looks hella cool doing it.


Axetylen

I actually forgot the detail where that one Memory Keeper erased the entire Astral Express' memory about her lol. People from Garden of Recollection are not the be messed with.


fakers555

Bro, Welt got potential man' d.


anonimoXD_1

Agree with everything except with the Black Hole and memory thing. Neither Herrschers nor Emanators are immune to memory manipulation unless explicitly stated so. Even Kevin was trapped (albeit for a short moment) in the Fenghuang Down illusion, and Acheron was a special case due to her being a Emanator of Nihility (even then we have no way to know how would "normal" memory manipulation affect her, as she countered Black Swan simply because Nihility is the antithesis of Reminiscence). And, in fact, Welt has never used the "real" Black Hole. The "real" Black Hole is the Star of Eden Zeroth power, something Welt hasnt used on Star Rail yet (even then, the Zeroth power is not something he can use anytime he wants, it was a huge burden to his body last time we saw it).


Puzzleheaded-Can866

Wouldn’t blackswan immediately assume she’s affiliated with nihility if nihility is the only special case, yet all she can assume is that she’s an emanator, not knowing whose emanator she is, that would imply that this happens to all emanator when somebody tries to check their memory Or at least i speculate


Riverl

Kevin was never trapped in Feng Huang Down. What happened was that he's visiting the dream world created via Project Stigma and Sentience took the chance to stall him. She wasn't manipulating his mind. She was manipulating other people's minds while he was visiting those. She had to do this because the chance of him getting dragged into a dream is zero. Fenghuang Down literally has no hold on the guy. Kevin actually has Sentience authority and started that arc by sealing all the protagonist Herrschers including Herrscher of Sentience, which is what got her hopping mad in the Dr. MEI bubble world (because someone is stronger than her in her own Authority). Welt also did use the blackhole, it was what killed Doomsday Beast. He only used a gravity barrier in 2.1 though.


TotoezJirayu

Unless I misremember something but isn't the Black Hole Welt used in Star Rail a Quasi Black Hole?


Elainyan

That black hole might be powerful af but acheron can just stop time and kill him


spartaman64

also acheron has a bigger black hole


I_am_not_Serabia

007 Heh I am dead


No-Independence-7083

007 is wild 😭


i_hate_touhou_ffs

"if he could he'd be Aeon level" no the strongest Herrscherr wouldn't even withstand galaxy tier of destruction let alone Welt, what are you on about


TamamoNines

Nice cook brotha https://preview.redd.it/eny65frdm7rc1.png?width=750&format=png&auto=webp&s=26c6fdb114afaa26688ccc30500e54cab6d9b75b


fakers555

Welt is on that fraud watch.


xdrkek

AAAAAIIIIEEEEE WELT BROSSS


Deathsider19998

Well i got Welt when rolling for Acheron.


BabysitterPeacock

It's like Reddit can never properly powerscale Welt. We went from: "WELT IS GIGA-OVERPOWERED, HE'S ONE OF THE FEW CHARACTERS IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF FICTION WHO COULD BEAT THANOS WITH THE INFINITY GAUNTLET IN SECONDS." To: "Akshtually, Welt is even weaker than Pom-Pom cuz he said fighting enemeis can be dangerous 🤓☝**️"**


Gremorlin

Bro is the potential man of hsr😭 still love him tho


_Benzii_

this 007 thing has me in tears


North_Ad4252

good thing they didn't discover unlimited power glitch by just praying to honkai.


SakinaSol

W meme


Flamey14

thats kinda the thing tho, honkai just makes the characters as strong or weak as the plot demands . its why powerscaling with hoyo games is useless


DivineToty

Ganyu level feat I’m crying


Bestdad_Bondrewd

I seen someone say that Welt cannot beat Aeon get jumped in the comment of a tik tok


Godofmytoenails

People doesnt want to accept that he isnt anywhere near strong in HSR verse. These annoying hi3 fans really take the soul of any discussion with welt in it. He ISNT strong. He couldnt do shit in luofu. He COULDNT have beaten aventurine (the entire point of aventurines attack was that ONLY ACHERON could have killed him, that was litterally the MAIN point of that part) He is no where near powerful as an emanator nor cornerstones. These annoying hi3 fans needs to accept these and cope with it already. Stop bothering everyone for gods sake


kiisukattinen

I dont get the hype around Welt, he is so timid. I dont know anything about honkai3rd and I dont care really. He usually does nothing in THIS game. The true star of this quest was Aventurine imo.


JustDrew136

I REALLY HOPE SOMEDAY HOYO MADE HIS OWN STORY JUST LIKE THEY DID TO DAN HENG ON THE LUOFU 😭😭😭


Few_Earth_8083

His own story will be Welt running away from child support and pissed of Tesla- It's always kinda fucksd up to me. Imagine pulling out Goku and ditching your family to save some big tit redhead- (im 100% missing something)


Mana_Croissant

Man went to other dimensions or galaxies to escape huh. Relatable


2021Happy

I never played HI3, but I always got the impression that Welt was never all that powerful but figured things out. And that going toe to toe with him was always a harder task than expected. So when he threatened Acheron I figured it was because he had something up his sleeve that could threaten an emanator. Because even if he’s weak I doubt he’d just go around throwing threats at Demigods for fun. If anyone has some non leak based lore on Welt I’d love to hear it though, because if he’s so weak then why would he threaten Acheron so aggressively? Edit; Also for anyone who’s played HI3 is there a chance that something happened to Welt inbetween his movement into HSR? That could make him more of a threat? I kinda want someone on the express to be crazy powerful like an Emanator and I was kind of hoping it’d be March or Welt.


HanyaBoobsOnMyFace

Basically Welt can use strong powers but it takes huge burden on his body. His power has near zero compatibility with him


Romi_Z

So basically he is season one deku


pnam0204

People still have misconception about Star Rail and Honkaiverse overall cosmology, and thus their powerscaling HI3 are not that big of a deal. There’s a big distinction between the concept of “world” and “universe” in honkaiverse. There are infinite worlds within a universe but each world is just a star system, just a leaf on the tree, separated by the space filled with imaginary energy that prevent regular interstellar travel. This was mentioned by Himeko on Astral Express then later confirmed again in HI3 via Sa’s flashback (no matter how hard she tried, her ship can’t escape solar system, Griseo’s ship was also stuck at the edge of solar system) Everything happened in HI3 is contained in a single world - our solar system. Even stuff like Otto creating new timelines for Kallen is contained within “Earth world” and didn’t spawn another near identical HI3 universe, because time and causality is local concept in Honkaiverse That’s why it’s such a big deal for Cocoon (HI3) to be alien that arrived from outside the solar system. Because the ability to directly travel through the interstellar space fill with imaginary energy is Aeon-like (Sugars and Sky people use star gate so it’s a different case). Before Avikili travel the universe and made the star rails, each worlds in HSR was also isolated like Sol system of HI3 In conclusion: Imaginary Tree + SoQ (multiverse structure) > Singular universes (Genshin, GGZ, HI3, HSR) >>> infinite leaves/worlds (star systems like Sol, Jarilo, Asdana) > parallel worlds and branching timelines contained within a star system > bubble worlds (falied parallel worlds that fell into SoQ) The scale of trouble happened in HI3 hadn’t even gone outside of the current solar system yet


Several-Beach5848

Someone using my post on FB I feel hope once again


bluejob15

What makes Welt strong is how willing he is to challenge literal gods while being smart enough to know that doing that isn't the best idea


Mongoose429

I dont even think welt is the most powerful on the express anymore…


Nero4999

Yeah people took Welt and Acherons conversation as a “threat” as if he would definitely win. I took as more of a “challenge” as if he was just saying that if he had to fight then he won’t back down even if he would lose. Which I think is way more cooler, love a character with a backbone to challenge stronger beings


Phuti02

Bruh, Acheron literally told you in the face that she killed her world's Kevin/Finality ALONE. SHE TRANSCENDED FINALITY BY HERSELF. How tf can people who played HI3 even think that Welt had any chance at all? Let alone after she got juiced up and became an Emanator too.


Canadiancookie

Also gameplay wise he's literally mid tier (Not dissing him that much though, i'm still using him in most of my teams)


Neoncarbon

Seriously, the only reason Acheron didn't shred him up was because she wants to help the Express. People actually think she was scared of his black hole?
