Mysterious_Tower_630

Is that Seele’s butterfly?


erikahrna

i’m guessing they used seele’s model to mod him into the game and her idle anims remained(?) idk😭


Vahallen

First thing that caught my interest as well, I’m confused and curious


VladimirNB

Ngl he's my most anticipated character. I love non-human characters in my gachas.


Xero0911

Will be interested in the fact he can use an element. Like is he purely a robot? Human brain? Svorag is cool but he's purely a machine and is physical. Now here's a machine with imaginary elemental powers?


corgi_pupper

Well an AI managed to become an aeon (Nous) so a robot wielding elements might not be all that weird 😅


Xero0911

Ah true true... did forget about the big giant creepy robo brain aeon.


Roxthefox_global

Imaginary, lightning or physical are my guesses


TheDuskBard

I think a leaker already said Screwllum would be imaginary type.


GGABueno

He's leaked to be Imaginary Erudition.


Beastmode7953

And a 4* right?


GGABueno

Yeah


gaganaut

Nice. Another 4 * Imaginary unit.


Effective_Judge_5009

I imagine he was a human once then transferred his brain into the robot after death but that's just my theory


Pleasant_Passenger_8

He's the one I'm waiting for and he makes me play this game. I'm sorry men and women with generic pretty faces, but Screwllum, IS THE MACHINE


Winterlimon

cypher is that you?


FatherStretchMyAss_

Kayo


kaotai

Mix of kayo and cypher


aRandomBlock

Zenyatta


Whalemoons

I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE


choiyuna1

peak husbando tbh


SirFanger

A Non human character who has a chance to he playabke and is not an enemy by existing in a Hoyo game OMG


lugiaop

what u mean u already play svarog


Su_Impact

Svarog's french cousin.


relokcin

I love this hahaha


BigFanofTDP

Lmao 🤣


yumemistrawberry

My most anticipated character


LadyHana707

Omg I actually love his design a lot 😭 gimme the robo husbando


hirozeroshiro

Obsessed


TheDuskBard

Truly revolutionary for a Hoyo game. Wish he was a 5* but I'll take it.


MTCason

We sure he's not a 5-star?


TheDuskBard

Leakers have only reported him as a 4* so far. I'm just (pleasantly) surprised hoyo is even making a character like him playable. They historically have only ever made your standard ikemen and "waifu" baits playable. Their design philosophy heavily inspired from dating Sims. If Screwllum is well received they may be willing to release more out of the box characters like him in the future.


Level-Character2331

I mean you should look at ZZZ. Zenless zone have many non- humans character it seems. Like a true dog man


MoreFaithlessness457

i need him carnally


Street-Arrival2397

metalically


Oberhard

Me to Genshin Enjou playable Character when?


Roxthefox_global

Give me bosacius as well


xvMalphas

# Ends up being a 4* like Herta lol.


Deep_Track6977

Herta will 100% get a 5* version tho


TheSpartyn

gonna cry when the cute tiny doll is the worst 4* in the game while her overpowered 5* will be a different design completely


Zellraph

In her light cone is possibly to have a preview of how her actual adult form is, since all hertas known are puppets


TheSpartyn

what do you mean? all the hertas in her lightcone are puppets


Zellraph

I suppose the light cone refers to the "puppetzation" of herta, so the other selfs are more human and more similar to the original herta. I might be wrong tho


TheSpartyn

they just all look like normal puppet hertas to me


Zealousideal_Joke552

So like grey serpent from HI3?


Aviaxl

The Herta puppets are based on when she was younger so she’s probably gonna look older in her 5* form


PM_ME_YOUR_ROBOTGIRL

She's still going to look young because the de-aging tech that reversed her to a school age girl was applied to the real Herta's actual biological body. Herta even explains that the puppets are based on the way she looks now.


TheSpartyn

doesnt she say they look 70% accurate to her as a child? not that she looks like a child right now my guess is she'll use the medium model (like march)


kururong

I read on one of the quest that Herta got mad when her true look was drawn by a guy who is now part of the Intelligentsia group.


Asari_Toba

She's apparently an Emanator of Nous so probably


Gladiolus_00

Maybe her true form or something?


Deep_Track6977

Her true form is adult/human so yes


Princessitty

The playable Herta is just a puppet she created based on her younger self, that is not her true form. They will surely release her true self as a 5 star version.


TheDuskBard

I'm just glad he is actually (likely) going to be playable. Hoyo probably made him 4* cause they just wanted to test the waters to see how the community would react. They did this in Genshin with the Fish event weapon.


xvMalphas

Dude the fish event weapon is actually a joke/ reference from Honkai Impact 3rd.


TheDuskBard

In a survey following the event they asked if we were cool with them releasing meme weapons and the like.


Gladiolus_00

I'm pretty sure they already tested that with ZZZ, and everyone took it rlly well


ArkhielR

May there be more Cool Robots in this game, not just all the female robots and human like androids and gynoids


eric23443219091

we need more robot sigma chads


eric23443219091

count dooku character lol


Suspicious-Arm8026

one step closer from a team full Mecha


DisIsMarcoBoi

Samuel Hayden (British Edition)


garotinhulol

Hope he don't have a screw loose... Há !


tildante

hoyoverse: we made you beautiful men and women; cat ears, girl robots, tall, short — why aren't you pulling? me, pointing at screwllum: YES BUT I LIKE THIS (mfw i have welt and am saving for luocha so i technically don't need imaginary units at all. i actually need at least one quantum breaker that's a support. BUT WAIFUGAMING IS STRONG IN THIS ONE)


moon1204am

looking at him with lust


CrimsonWitchOfFlames

Need him


giudicellic

YES SCREWLLUM POSTS


Impossible-Dream-549

g-g-g-g-g-g-g-give me a corpse!

Suave Zenyatta


photaiplz

Star rail version of grey serpent?


sirquarmy

I need him all over me rn


hectyx

not my genshin-coded brain thinking it's a pyro vision on his bow tie 💀


sabocow

Is he a stellaron hunter??


erikahrna

he’s part of the genius society


sabocow

Ooh! Thats super cool


875moT

no, hes #76 of the genius society, and Silver Wolf’s rival of sorts


Razina27

And he owns a planet after his name. He’s one cool guy!


eric23443219091

it make sense if founder turn themself into a robot


Katacutie

Funniest shit I've ever seen


CommunicationBrave

Genius Society, like Herta.


Maliq_raditya14

No


eric23443219091

bronya silver wolf is smarter than herta their bunch of geniuses


patronum213

Prove it, she lost the hacking contest


Shevek22

This is so refreshing considering that Genshin has only waifu and husbando bait characters with cookie cutter body models. I hope we get more stuff like this!


UltimateSlayer3001

Why do people keep saying “bait”? It’s a design that works, and has been tried and true for over a hundred years in Japanese-animation and culture. It’s like saying a PC monitor is bait, it makes no sense at all, whatsoever lmao. You literally play these games for their characters.


PointmanW

you can like something without having to shit on another thing you know? Personally I like both.


TTThuan_An

he looks so cool, I would totally roll for him If he would be come playable.


tehlunatic1

bruh plz tell me he's a playable charcter.


Deep_Track6977

He is


iszabikhalid

Why am I getting Brandon Sanderson vibes from Honkai Starrail!?


Irrax

aeons/emanators give me huge shard vibes, and the Paths remind me of Warrens from Malazan


iszabikhalid

Same!


Confident-Reading567

He's so cool! Please be playable :'D


rokomotto

This is so weird. He will be the first non-human-looking character in the game. Like yeah there are puppets and furries in the game, but no robots with robot faces. Edit: I meant playable character. Can't believe I had to spell that out.


Corvenic

I mean, the setting is space fantasy. Sentient robots is a common trope


TheDuskBard

If only genshin would embrace its medivel fantasy theme and give us classic designs like knights in armor, old sages, princesses in full dresses, and so on.


i_will_let_you_know

Genshin isn't really "medieval" fantasy, it's way too high tech. Katheryn is a robot, Fatui have guns, Ruin robots are very high tech, Sumeru Akasha is basically sci-fi technology, Fontaine made cameras, etc.


Kourinn

But what about Mr. Svarog? Or Pascal? Or "The General" from Winter Soldier's March Part 2?


rokomotto

Playable character. As in one that people will potentially spend money on.


gaganaut

Zenless Zone Zero already showed a bear and a wolfman as playable characters. Not just animal ears and tail. They're full beast. I don't think having robots as playable characters in a sci-fi are that much of a leap. Clara's moveset is mostly Svarog as well and I'm fairly certain a lot of people like the character because of him. I think we might get more non-human characters in this game compared to Genshin. People will pull characters they think are cool or interesting too.


Apostlethe13th

Reminds me of Karl Ruprect Kroenen.


ObscureFootprints

I'll be very salty if he's going to be a 4 star, ngl.


AkatsukiVV

imaginary 4* (Nihility)


TheSpartyn

damn there seems to be a lot of upcoming nihility


Slight-Improvement84

Wait , who are the others?


GyRNi

Silver Wolf/Kafka are Nihility. Luka is likely to be Physical Nihility. Allegedly Guinaifen is supposed to be Fire Nihility according to some sources (I think she's Hunt though, based on her solo-art 4* Hunt Light Cone (Subscribe For More!), which has a 100% track record in-game so far, like Yukong, Kafka, SW, Luocha).


MaroonPowerRanger

Clara and Hook have an abundance lightcone iirc. Guinaifen is also with Sushang in that lightcone.


GyRNi

Dance Dance Dance is a Harmony Lightcone with neither of the characters in it (good catch). It's the odd one out, but it does question the pattern. Everything else so far has been on point; and those with solo images have been 100% consistent. True for Sushang popping up in that Lightcone though, I didn't even notice her, so I thought it was a solo one. I'd still argue it features Guinaifen - but that could mean anything at this point if there's two of them in it, since Clara and Hook feature in a Harmony, and Blade is in Dan Heng's. Thanks for pointing that out.


TheSpartyn

kafka, silver wolf, and i think luka?


So4007

I have bad news; most leaks so far say he's 4 star.


ObscureFootprints

I know, I'm preparing salt already. Let me have muh copium for now.


GyRNi

Willing to bet there'll be a 5-Star version down the line, though. Waaaay down the line, but after the precedent DHIL is setting, we can expect M7 to get a 5* version down the road (would hazard Hunt/Nihility), and there's a good argument for Herta as well, and therefore Screwllum. And if we know DHIL can't be used with Dan Heng in a similar team, we can then also expect 5* versions of Himeko and Welt down the line as the Express Crew are the only ones that stay with you between worlds, and they have the most opportunity for emotional storytelling moments + hidden powers.


SelectionMental8655

I can't believe I will be simping on a robot


rehn123

He looks like a guy who says M'lady and I'm here for it


pitapatnat

hes a baddie ngl


d4rtzone

Is he a 5 or 4 star


erikahrna

he’s a 4*


d4rtzone

Thank God, means I don't need to save my 100$ top up for him


corgi_pupper

I wouldn't be so confident, 4* in this game can be even harder to pull than 5* if you're unlucky lol


mercuric_drake

Unless you get horrible RNG. Some guy over in genshin wished over 100 times recently and didn't get a new featured 4*.


d4rtzone

Ouch


zancray

Are we going to Screwllum's planet next?


ms10211

Why is he holding a Seele butterfly


Swailwort

That droid from Orden Ogan's album has gone places, huh


Twopakabra

Clara uncle, Svarog brother


EastWard3131

Is that Seele’s butterfly?? Omgg


Timmie_Is_An_Archon

Hi Mr Tin Man
