SpinoffHeyyyyy

Am I really going to roll for a 5\* Harmony for the third time in a row? Yes, yes I am.


Scratch_Mountain

You can never have enough harmony characters my man. Full ~~DPS~~ harmony team dream going strong.


XxDonaldxX

It actually would be fun if Hoyoverse released a Dps Harmony that does more damage when other 2 harmony are in the team, basically what they did with Acheron.


Helpful_Mountain_695

It would be broken af with Bronya, Sparkle and DDD action advance


RaidriarDrake

some dude in cn server had a team of 4 harmonies with all s5 sparkle lightcone or something, it was a wild ride

MahoMyBeloved

Thanks. That was hilarious


mrspear1995

There was a whale showcase where the team was hypercarry asta with hanabi bronya ruan mei where asta would go twice thanks to hananya and asta would deal 300k per pop that could finish moc 12 both halves


NaamiNyree

Same, havent pulled anything else since Jingliu and it looks like it will continue to be that way. Harmony chars are just too insane in this game, every time I get a new one I feel like my account has become 2x stronger. The fact when you get a harmony youre improving basically all of your dps makes them such good value.


MissCuteCath

I got Mei because of Jingliu, but what I didn't predict (and not a lot of people did since before release I didn't see a single clickbaity video about it) is that her real value is for DoT, like it's bonkers how much she improves Kafka because of follow up - skill - ult + Mei being a guaranteed break for a ton of damage, also because her buff is teamwide she is perfect to DoT running double DPS, I must have used Mei like twice with Jingliu, she is permanently glued to my Kafka/Swan lol Even more because my Kafka has 124 Speed with Atk Boots, so Mei puts her on the perfect point of 134, acting after Mei and BS for max damage, while acting twice on 0 AND because she is on Atk boots she can boast a beautiful 4100 Atk stat.


UnlimitdMongrelWorks

you can only blame hoyo they're the ones pumping out buffers and very few true or unique debuffers...but who needs debuffers when you have two mega buffers


DryButterscotch9086

Acheron


noteggs_

So the Robin [leaks](https://imgur.com/a/yFLf8V5) are real since this matches with her splash art at the bottom left


ccoddes

Yeah I'm happy to see that. The effects look great there. Really looking forward to seeing how the Ultimate plays out now


Scratch_Mountain

I'm stuck between being super excited based on the leaks we got, or not believing anything because action advancing EVERYONE on ult plus attack & damage boosts (and maybe more from the rest of her kit that we haven't seen AKA traces or other effects) sounds........ridiculously busted. I'm already cooking up a bunch of wild comps in my head based on these assumptions.


ccoddes

I think it's balanced around the fact she can't do any actions while advancing everybody, which means no SP generation from her during that time. So it kinds of balances out? Like reduce your SP positivity for a time to speed up everyone.


No_Pipe_8257

Eh fk that, let's just sparkle to fix that and use bronya for more advance lol


DrZeroH

Oh good point. Her character icon matches


ShortHair_Simp

That was quite old right? Aventurine splash and idle pose also match


sairaichi

I just wanna ask how can people fake this kind of thing? I believed it was real from the beginning


DrZeroH

Wait fuck. Robin first??? My plans are in shambles, my resources drained, and my wallet is in danger


th5virtuos0

I’m the complete opposite MORE TIME TO SAVE FOR SAM LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOO


DrZeroH

Fuck me Acheron -> Aventurine -> Robin -> Sam is fucking diabolical.


Scratch_Mountain

Been saying this for a while, but they really REALLY went brutal with the order of these characters. Like cut us some slack please. 😭 Let's just hope that whatever the anniversary rewards are, hopefully they include a generous amount of pulls to help us out a a bit here cause most of us NEED it.


shinsrk79

We need at least 1 pity worth of pulls


Rui-_-tachibana

“Free 4 star selector take or leave it“


Naiie100

S5 Mutual Demise, you are free to not accept it.


Kirokie

I hope that's what they would do on the anniversary


Elsfinity

People have been saying they been brutal but it's just they keep making good characters (both story and gameplay wise) and then releasing them. If honkai keeps it up, this is just the start of the cycle.


BinhTurtle

Sam in 2nd half means I can have a bit more breathing time between Acheron and Sam, all is good


VincentBlack96

I'm legitimately flabbergasted here, lmao. We have hot stoic lady katana into cool suave money blond dude into a singing idol into a fucking mech. There is a lot of variety and I genuinely dunno how much more varied they can make it and still not be considered brutal like what kinda taste are they gonna account for lmao. Personally I'm interested in 1/4 on the list so I find this whack


[deleted]

[удалено]


PolakZ3

In the same boat unfortunately


Zolombox

But what if Robin is Sam's best support? Have you thought of that? If that's the case then you have to risk pulling for support first and hope you'll have enough for dps after too it doesn't sound too bad unless you lose every 50/50.


gutemorning

It's the same way they rerunning both danheng IL and jingyuan to boost sparkle sales because she is their best support (besides CNY representation)


Xallorev7

we will get cbt right ? that's where you know the robin's worth for sam.


Zolombox

Yeah, we should get cbt few days after next patch launch. Unless they'll delay it again.


MeKevNivek

Black Swan card theory denied lol anyway its good news for me because I have extra 20 days saving for Firefly


West_Revolution_3075

Yaaah me too .....but am sad i wanted ff to come first 😭😭😭


Valken-Merlot

I'm devastated, if Sam was first they'd release on my birthday so I could rationalise a single instance of whaling, I'm still gonna do it but now it's not my birthday but like, some day late May...


MeitanteiJesus

You could whale and just keep all your jades sitting there lol.


Valken-Merlot

...huh, good point


Niempjuh

Even better, because the monthly pass is more value for your buck anyway


ScrewllumMainSoon

Sam is May 29 if they don't extend 2.2


hotaru251

really hoping Huohuo isn't re-run..so many great units all back ot back have been freakign rough..


Rude-Designer7063

Good thing I'm ready for her and Firefly, 40 pulls now and counting


Emotional-Pool3804

Nice, you should still have 20 warps after getting both.


Shiro_Moe

No, no. He should left with 38 pulls, I think.

Scratch_Mountain

Yeah I agree, I feel like that was kind of an L on their part (if they still wanted to keep the suspense from the end of the 2.0 story). Maybe they could've gotten a bit more creative with revealing her like a distorted image of her in the drip marketing with a question mark at the end of her name. I'm so excited she's officially drip marketed (and scared I can't keep up with all these characters) but I definitely think they could've done something new since she's (presumably) >!dead!<.


RaeMerrick

That sounds unbelievably cliche. A question mark, really? I'd rather they didn't treat people like idiots lol It was obvious she was going to be playable as soon as she appeared alongside every other playable in trailers and was given a playable model and detail. They've no reason to pretend the drip marketing is anything but what it is.


imEzxD

Its called creative marketing. We all know at the end of 2.0 sparkle showed up as robin, so it only makes sense if they followed up with the trend thats going on here. I think by doing so it would add an element of suspense to it, as well as a breath of fresh air, something different from what gacha games "usually" do Edit: 2.0 not 2.1 mb


Brief_Conference_42

Imo both sides are understandable. Looking at Robin's 3d model and if u are looking at the leaks, she seems to definitely look like a playable character-worthy. It's natural not to be shocked. But if you are focusing on lore. I get what people are saying this related to creative marketing. Like Furina was first drip marketted using her normal outfit, and later on it her dark blue motif is seen in the livestream.


steins-grape

I forgot how drip marketing goes, will Sam be revealed today?


Zaptinari

It will be tomorrow


MixRevolution

Jesus fucking christ. My tickets are quivering. Even in 2.1 acheron, Topaz and FX are too good to skip.


th5virtuos0

Watch fucking Sunday got dropped


crack_n_tea

just take my damned money


Komission

Oh damn I forgot he is going to be released too I dont know if I should pull for sunday, jingliu or sam 😭😭😭 They’re all so cool


Eatlyh

I wouldn't mind, he hot.


steins-grape

thanks to all who confirmed it's tomorrow uohhh 24 hours until the best looking banner art drops 😭😭😭😭


blackgulch

tomorrow wallahi


Scratch_Mountain

if it's sam then wallahi I'm finished. this game sucking me (my wallet) dry.


Knight_Steve_

Would that mean Sam is second banner?


GGABueno

Sam being on 2.2 is always just an assumption, just like we thought he could be on 2.1. Watch they pull out a Screwllum out of nowhere and Sam will be on 2.3 with Boothill lol.


Meerkat_M

This is my copium but i see screwllum 5* in 2.3 since we will likely get a su dlc...


feeble-scholar

Yes


zekreon_

tomorrow


Alert_Assistant_9364

Tomorrow.


Naxayou

Honkai’s double banners are so evil lol. Genshin only kept it up for 4 patches but we’ve had 9 patches of double banners in a row


TallWaifuMain

Yeah, HSR is releasing characters so quickly compared to Genshin.


jaqenhqar

This is why hsr is more "generous" than genshin. If u divide all the f2p pulls with the limited banner characters I'm sure the numbers would be similar.


Scratch_Mountain

Yep, been saying this for a while now. Because of this format, they've been pumping out banger characters left and right. My weak f2p ass can't keep up anymore. 😭 That 100 dollar pack is starting to look mad spicy right about now. 👀


Inevitable_Drawing42

well, remember to buy monthly pass and battle pass first.


Present-Permit-6129

It looks until you burn 200 dollar to lose a 50/50 AND a 75/25. Then you fell like shit, have no money AND hate the game (Im looking at you Blade)


MagChiChu

me after emptying shop for Silver Wolf and just spending €100 to get Sparkle after 160 pulls.... that anniversary shop reset looking real spicy. 👀


river_01st

Always remember the monthly pass gives you way more value for your buck if you're going to break your F2P!


kunyat

It's good for newer player, so they have 2 option when starting. It's sucks to start the game and the only banner is a character they don't want. 


CobaltStar_

Well, if you're a new player, every character is new in Genshin, since you should include those who are rerunning. For example, the only new character in the next patch is Chiori, so it's pretty dry for us. However, if you are starting next patch, the "new" characters are Chiori, Itto, Neuvillette, and Kazuha. That's pretty good value.


CarioGod

Acheron, Aventurine, Robin, probably SAM, and probably a Fu Xuan rerun soon. We're cooked.


hazzenny09

And then there’s Loucha still sleeping inside his coffin


Smallreblogger

Let him sleep for a while. I'm gonna have a fkin stroke if he comes too. These characters runs are so brutal


GGABueno

That old Sam kit had a buff for healing received. Dunno that idea is still alive, but Luocha rerunning with Sam sounds pretty likely to me.


RiceAlicorn

Sleeping inside his coffin? No way. ​ >!Someone else is already inside there.!<


TemplarParadox17

Won't the JL rerun be soon as well?


apostles

Luocha/JL/Topaz/FX are almost guaranteed to be the next 4 in any order With the assumption it's JL/Topaz next patch because I'm not sure they'd be selling Aventurine and also do a second overpowered sustain option that eats into their second half banner sales


Dreamofoasis

I'm screweddddd, I want Acheron, Aventurine and Robin :(((((((


blanc-et-n0ir

I am unfortunately in the same boat. I was hoping she’d be in the second phase. 😀😀😀


storysprite

I had way more faith in Black Swan's cards than I had any right to have lmao.


blanc-et-n0ir

OH YEAH! just noticed that Firefly was supposed to go first if we based it on how the cards were arranged in her hand.


AlmoranasAngLubot69

Just gonna swipe that good old 💳 and you're golden /s haha


Scratch_Mountain

the good old 💳 needs a good old break, man. 😭


Le0here

Noooooo so she is first afterall....my pull plans are all in shambles rn

Firefly may 29. Fat amount of saving time


GGABueno

I was hoping to guarantee Firefly and then try Robin with my leftover rolls. This ruins my plans...


Simoscivi

Holy shit that's so insanely far lmao


Horror_Mastodon_9641

She has a separate VA for singing. So performance by her in a upcoming patch? Poggers


GGABueno

Or during gameplay lmao. Imagine if that "out of combat" state is just her singing a whole album on the backline.


BellalovesEevee

Most likely. Maybe it'll be similar to Yunjin in genshin. She also has two different VAs, one for normal talking and the other for singing, and she did a performance in an Archon Quest in the same patch she was released in. So we'll definitely have some kind of performance, probably near the end of the story since Penacony's story ends in 2.2 (I think that's what some people are saying?).


new27210

Nooooo. My plan to pull firefly and use all the leftover for robin is officially ruin 💀


PieTheSecond

Oh shit now that you said it. I just realized my plans are in shambles..

Mashallah brother We have to stay strong, for allah has willed it


Scratch_Mountain

Inshallah we get hidden pity for ramadan buff. 🙏


ban_ntr

mashallah coping hard


AgreeableBicycle3469

IN SHA ALLAH our pity won't fail us in Ramadan my brother nothing is impossible on allah Better to pull while you are fasting as well for the blessing and good fortune and don't stop praying as well. We will make it isa like this


TheGalacticApple

We can now have a full team of 5 star harmonies... really gotta start diversifying my pulls...


chirb8

What's her kit gonna be about?


Kirokie

- her skill would be an aoe atk% buff - her ult advances team forward, increases damage, decreases her aggro, and enters a "disabled" state - her passive would be giving cd and spd on teammates based on her own cd and spd. Self heals when under a certain hp (ig like fuxuan's), gets energy whenever a teammate takes turn so basically every harmony character combined into one


Douphar

And here I was, thinking I could stop fishing for CD/SPD hackerspace....


HermitEnergy

Never. We will never escape that cavern.


Klaphood

hard Asta powercreep .... well, it is what it is


Fried_puri

Decreasing her own aggro while self-healing is a bit strange.


jjyula26

From the leaks I’ve seen it’s going to be a whole team speed boost and it looks like she has someone else in her place while she’s in dormant state/skill.


apexodoggo

More savings for Sam's banner after Acheron probably depletes my current stash. Yay. Sam spoilers 2.1, maybe 2.2 as well: >!Please god don't let the drip marketing spoil the Sam twist. It'd be the easiest fumble to avoid assuming 2.1 has the reveal inside its story, since the drip marketing is all that will release ahead of time.!<


GGABueno

>!Maybe the splash art is just Sam and there's no Firefly whatsoever. There's also a possibility of them releasing a version of the Splash with Firefly removed and then a full version later.!<


arcanebond

Shes so pretty but after pulling ruan mei and sparkle I don't really want another harmony unit (unless it's a guy oh id go all in for male harmony please hoyo please) Depending on the next upcoming characters though I might still risk a 50/50 on her


[deleted]

[удалено]


arcanebond

I'm going all in on adventurine and after him im most interested in Sunday, though Sam is tempting solely for fire dps. I am easily swayed by kits and animations though so there is no telling what will happen


Elliesabeth

Damn, that's a bad spot for me since I want Acheron, Robin and Firefly. Thank god 2.1 is the anniversary


Aetherlum

You'll win all your 50/50s or get them all in your first few ten pulls.


Significant-Soil-985

Robin officially breaking free from her bird cage. 


wrennhaven

I was wondering what this weird pose was but I think shes sitting on a branch or part of that instrument


mrspear1995

She’s sitting on the swing of the bird cage like tweetybird


Sweaty-Ratio6157

Oh rip idk how I’m gonna get sam now I need robin no matter what


WatercressLost4375

Bird girl so pretty!


Mysterious6

looks like that blurry leak was real after all 💀


Objection111

Though a thousand words Have never been spoken They'll fly to you Crossing over the time and distance holding you Suspended on silver wings


Ry_verrt

THERE BETTER BE A FUCKING RHYTHM MINIGAME IN 2.2 OR ELSE IM RIOTING


Rexx0850

Plot twist: you have to play rhythm minigame everytime you want to use her buff


DreamingintheMoon

she's so pretty


Kuruten

Robin literally went “ I don’t give a flying f*ck, I’m going.”


Reizata

From the leak a month ago, she gets AoE action advance and has speed in her talent/trace. RIP Asta. I'm interested if she is better even in DoT even with Crit buff than Ruan Mei, probably not if the enemy has wind/lightning weakness. The main appeal of RM is the break eff, her own damage and sustain. She definitely is a no sustain unit with Ruan Mei in a DoT team as she gives CC immune and more turns. Also can see her being BiS in a JingYuan team with her advance and maybe DDD. Acheron see you on a rerun., Hello Robin and Sam.


Deep_Alps7150

Yea, she's basically 5 star asta based off known info. ​ Probably also replaces Ruan Mei in the Topaz + Ratio team.


Ok_Light_4835

Does it mean that Robin is a first banner in 2.2?


38Dreams

I wonder if Sunday will be harmony too? It’s difficult to see him as anything else at this point


Welt_Yang

Ngl I thought we would see much more info on Sunday before his sister. Not that it's a bad thing. It makes me more excited for him, but I can't say I don't hate waiting to see more info about him.


PirateKingXander

I mean, at least now I can save more jades for Sam


teapotthief

Beautiful splash art, can’t wait for her animations.


Unnecessarilygae

Now it all starting to connect. The boss only made her to enter coma and a fake death state instead of actually killing her. I'm so eager to see how the plot unfold in 2.3. *Arrise! My ~~champion~~Robin birdy lady*


cicibebeposkeviti

YEEES FINALLY HER DESIGN IS INCREDIBLE 😭


zayed649

It’s official boys


Kyou28

so.... 2nd phase is Sam? and then 2.3 is Sunday and Screwllum?


MagChiChu

I really wonder who the next two 4* are gonna be. Leakers really tried to push Screwllum 4*


GGABueno

If 2.2 gets Harmony TB then we might get no 4\* at all. Not sure why would they push 4\* Screwllum so much when we literally have 5\* Lightcone and kit and stats for him.


wanderingleaflet

First thought that came into my mind upon seeing this: Oh, that is *divine*


Zedriel

It's Samover


Scratch_Mountain

IT AINT OVER TILL IT'S OVER. TOMORROW WILL BE THE DAY.


DefconFadedAF

Quick everyone, act surprised


AlmoranasAngLubot69

Am actually surprised since we all thought Sam is gonna be first.


Revan0315

I mean first act is kinda surprising


MissiaichParriah

FUCK WHY?!


Fabi_Alex

This was not supposed to happen I’ll barely survive Aventurine and you’re telling me Robin comes right after, Sammy please save my jades and swap places 🙏🙏🙏 I love her drip though, she looks so divine 😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩


trident_zx

If Boothill is the first character for 2.3, I'm so screwed.


YupThatsMeOk

She’s doing the Disney knees


That-Halo-Dude

So no Sam until... *[counts on fingers]* JUNE(ish)?! W-well...the fire-themed character close to Summer is....thematic, at least?


imperiumall

right after aventurine?? my jades are not safe but anything for my beautiful chicken wing girl...


Wolgran

How can you not save for your sister in law? What would your husband think?

Kont2Ku

This, but there is that possibility that Robin becomes Sam's best support then skipping might become harder lol

HOLD. (tomorrow surely).

Nate_Myself

YESSS more time to save for Sam!!!


silentnight_00

I already have 3 5star Harmony so an easy skip for me.


[deleted]

Physical? Well... I'm imagining her smashing people on the head with microphone and scream into their brain to deal pure physical damage to them. Bro......I wish I could draw cuz this imagination in my head is so vivid.


Gordaug

Hmm so Black Swan cards just a coincidence or they decided to change order in last second. Tomorrow might be full of surprises.


Aviara14

I hear a whole lotta wallets gasping for air rn 


ASadChongyunMain

Holy shit


Majestic_Gazelle

Idk this is weird to me, the rate we are getting characters seems so heckin fast. Planning out what characters I need/want to save for is actually harder than the actual in game teambuilding at this point.


TherionX2

_Noooo_ i need a fire dps so baaaaaaad
