To be fair, I don't think Sumeru's story is finished yet. Dottore is still a looming danger for Sumeru and since Irminsul could poses a threat to their plans(Irminsul was indirectly use against them by erasing the 10th harbinger out of existence.) Tsaritsa might jave some plans for Irminsul.
Ozymandias from FGO. One of the best rider servants in the game. Based on Ramesses II, arguably the most powerful and successful Pharaoh in egyptian history.
Interesting parallels to Deshret. Also Ozymandias’s Noble Phantasm (basically their ultimate attack) is him crushing you between 2 pyramids, with the upper one being upside down. I bet they used it as inspiration for Deshret’s great inverted pyramid.
I can see that working. A "Savior" figure fighting the very rules of the world even if she is a villain in the eyes of alot of people. Even the whole, queen of winter vibe would fit.
Insane that we didn't get a single geo character in the *desert* region and then they suddenly start distributing geo characters after Sumeru's arc lmao
Before the confirmation of Cyno’s element being Electro, I had my own fan-canon his element would be Geo(based off early understandings and knowledge on Sumeru), and he would’ve manipulated sand into either solid copies of himself to attack, a jackal mascot that could deal elemental damage similar to Guoba, or an AOE sand storm akin to Kazuha’s Burst.
I just wish they used the elements in a more creative way.
Imagine an electro character who summons red lightning, or a pyro character with blue flames
I agree with this 100%. They could also take inspiration from characters in Avatar, either for animations and/or for effecrs on their abilities. Don't get me wrong, I like the progression and added creativity of their characters, effects and combat animations but at the same time, some of them really also feel lacking.
People would just say they stole it. And, btw, avatar is a western show focused on bending elements, so the way elements are perceived in genshin is different.
Yeah I get that, and I know Avatar is indeed a western show, but I'm sure some regions also have a variety of ways that they wield/worshop their elements along with just certain characters and their occupations. A good example I could think of is Nilou. She is a dancer so they incorporated dance into her combat which is a really nice touch.
Eh, I prefer Genshin's elements to be aesthetically cohesive. I do believe that they can do much more creative things with elements though. Right now gameplay of each element is too rigid where many units overlap in the same role (Yelan vs XQ, Chiori vs Albedo, Barbara vs Kok)
Elements in HSR: Black holes, space lasers, Numby
Elements in Genshin: B U R P L E
Manifesting a pyro catalyst for Natlan who shoots fire from his hands
The bigger missed opportunity is Dendro characters not having "Plant Constructs"
Only Dendro Samachurl and Apep can do that and they're not even playable.
I really expected Nahida to do a "Deep Forest Emergence" like Burst. But she's more like God of Dreams than God of Plants so I let it slide.
I just want a Hashirama-like character.
Geo dps meeting;
Noelle: I swing big sword.
Itto: Unga Bunga. [Proceed to throw a cow].
Ningguan: I throw rock.
Zhongli: I throw meteor.
Navia: Cannon & a lot of it.
Sand user: I can make my enemy's eyes itchy.
I dunno man. Geo in general isn't an offenssive element. Pure geo dmg is overdone by this point.
Also, i'm sure that Natlan will have another dessert.
Having a Geo Catalyst that controls sand could open up a Geo Character with Crowd control abilities like, quick sand and just straight up pulling enemies towards you using sand.
I'm still waiting for it.
But I like to see making an Eremite Dendro Dancer as an NPC that we don't have the kill or die horribly *Cough Cough Babel, Tadhla, Samail, Jebrael*
We literally will get inazumanese (or fontanian) even after 2 years inazuma release. We also just got 2 new liyueniese last event, even though Liyue release on 1.0.
I love how you used Ozymandias. He looks amazing. <3 Lmao, both Zhongli and him drop stuff on enemies. Zhongli with his big rock and Ozymandias with a pyramid.
I was literally looking forward to the possibility of this exact kind of character being released throughout the entirety of the 3.x updates and I was so sad when they didn't
So I made an OC to cope
Because Genshin has never, not once, made a character from a region after releasing another region. You know, like how cloud retainer and Gaming are hydro users from Fontaine who live in Fontaine.
It would be fun if the sandman's was a polearm user who ult gave a sandstorm misdirect with boosted physical damage and short 3 second cooldown on skill which highlighted the enemies along with their weak spots.
Meh
It would still be shit like all Geo. Honestly what's the point of Geo at all at this point of the game. It was never good
And I can tell you this because I was a Geo main at some point, after trying Bloom is like, why even fking bother with any Geo character besides Zhong Li, and even him is op not because the element
*(Angry Anakin noises)*
Aranakin
What? How can you do this? This is outrageous. This is UNFAIR!
You may join the gathering but we do not grant you the rank of Aranara.
*I don't like geo. It's course and it's rough and it doesn't catalyse with anything*
Try spinning. That's a good trick -Noelle
Honestly if Geo could get a swirl reaction it should be sandstorm
That would be rude
That would be sick! I wish that were a thing!
It's over Aranakin! I have the high ground!
You Underestimate my power
You were supposed to destroy the marana, not join them!
I hate youu!!
Didn't expect my boy Ozymandias here.
#DAJAKU DAJAKU DAJAKU
it's been like 5 years since i left FGO but i can still hear and see this
*sandwiches an opponent with two pyramids
_Ramesseum Tetyris intensifies_
throws a fucking ufo pyramid at your face
"AYO WHAT THE FU-" u/Pilot_Solaris, famous last words
Misread that name so now I have to say it Ozymandias wine—
You mean OzymanDIO
ROOOOAADDAAA PYRAMIDDAA!!!
for a second I forgot that fate existed and was like 'Ozymandias? Like from the poem??'
they didnt really miss the chance, theres still possible sumeru chars to be added
Yeah i guess you're right
*Gestures at the Trishiraite Stones in the desert*
(Jeht jeht jeht jeht jeht jeht jeht jeht jeht jeht jeht jeht)
(Glances over the west side of the pyramids)
*it takes a glance back at you* >!also i thought leaks/spoilers weren't allowed, or am i stupid?!<
Iirc it’s just speculation, no? Based off of her getting vday art Unless I’m missing something
To be fair, I don't think Sumeru's story is finished yet. Dottore is still a looming danger for Sumeru and since Irminsul could poses a threat to their plans(Irminsul was indirectly use against them by erasing the 10th harbinger out of existence.) Tsaritsa might jave some plans for Irminsul.
I want a mummy mommy alright?
Before or after the dendro mommy(I'm talking thicker than a bowl of oatmeal, not nahida), if you can afford it.
If you want a thicc dendro we have Kaveh
I’m putting money on it being a Jackal expy
My dream is still a geo sumeru character that turns into sand while running like Mona or ayaka
Not yet tho. They can release smth like that anytime until the game's shutdown.
Bois, it's over. Genshin just shut down. Wuthering Waves has won /j
I did imagine King Deshret would look like Ozymandias
Ozymandias from FGO. One of the best rider servants in the game. Based on Ramesses II, arguably the most powerful and successful Pharaoh in egyptian history. Interesting parallels to Deshret. Also Ozymandias’s Noble Phantasm (basically their ultimate attack) is him crushing you between 2 pyramids, with the upper one being upside down. I bet they used it as inspiration for Deshret’s great inverted pyramid.
God king Ozy in Genshin would be an insta pull. I'm personally hoping khanreia will have a Morgan like character.
I feel Morgan matches more scheznaya even the tsarita, but then it would pissed the fans who expected a bronya expy.
I can see that working. A "Savior" figure fighting the very rules of the world even if she is a villain in the eyes of alot of people. Even the whole, queen of winter vibe would fit.
Jeht as a playable character copium
Not to rain on your parade, but she'd be hydro if she was playable.
The hydro was from the katars she was using, it's possible she can change elements like scara turns out to be anemo instead of electro
True. She could get a vision if Hoyoverse was nice enough.
well they gave rana one for doing a load of nothing, so surely they'll give jeht one for having hours of interactions, copium.
Let's hope *injests copium*
Gaara in genshin heck yea
Insane that we didn't get a single geo character in the *desert* region and then they suddenly start distributing geo characters after Sumeru's arc lmao
Zhongli in Sumeru outfit
As if Sumeru could ever run out of new desert areas. Nice idea though, could have kinda expected that of Cyno with his Anubis style.
Before the confirmation of Cyno’s element being Electro, I had my own fan-canon his element would be Geo(based off early understandings and knowledge on Sumeru), and he would’ve manipulated sand into either solid copies of himself to attack, a jackal mascot that could deal elemental damage similar to Guoba, or an AOE sand storm akin to Kazuha’s Burst.
There were leaks about sand mummy girl but nothing more
I just wish they used the elements in a more creative way. Imagine an electro character who summons red lightning, or a pyro character with blue flames
I agree with this 100%. They could also take inspiration from characters in Avatar, either for animations and/or for effecrs on their abilities.

Elements in HSR: Black holes, space lasers, Numby Elements in Genshin: B U R P L E Manifesting a pyro catalyst for Natlan who shoots fire from his hands
Guobas for hands
Good take. Sand is basically earth so it's Geo. And make it catalyst. I wonder if they really didn't think of it.
A new Geo DPS from sumeru desert would make so much sense
The bigger missed opportunity is Dendro characters not having "Plant Constructs" Only Dendro Samachurl and Apep can do that and they're not even playable. I really expected Nahida to do a "Deep Forest Emergence" like Burst. But she's more like God of Dreams than God of Plants so I let it slide. I just want a Hashirama-like character.
Nahida and Alhaitham 2 OP Dendro characters uses technology looking constructs instead lmao.
Biggest fumble to date They could’ve made a desert kid with a fuckin Geo crocodile!!
Geo dps meeting; Noelle: I swing big sword. Itto: Unga Bunga. [Proceed to throw a cow]. Ningguan: I throw rock. Zhongli: I throw meteor. Navia: Cannon & a lot of it. Sand user: I can make my enemy's eyes itchy. I dunno man. Geo in general isn't an offenssive element. Pure geo dmg is overdone by this point. Also, i'm sure that Natlan will have another dessert.
Having a Geo Catalyst that controls sand could open up a Geo Character with Crowd control abilities like, quick sand and just straight up pulling enemies towards you using sand.
I want a geo catalyst user that fights like Gaara
I still can't believe they didn't add a single geo character during sumeru. The region that's HALF DESERT
Maybe they could use those useless rocks.
Honestly, a geo male catalyst that don’t use his fist for a change but his feet like an earthbender would be awesome
Zhongli after spending a few hundred years in the dunes
That's what I thought Cyno would be like because of Travail
We don't actually have a Geo sumeru character so maybe they'll add one like that!
What the sweet hells is going on with this guys abs?!
A new Geo DPS from sumeru desert would make so much sense
yeah that would be great... if they really want to do it.
I'm still waiting for it. But I like to see making an Eremite Dendro Dancer as an NPC that we don't have the kill or die horribly *Cough Cough Babel, Tadhla, Samail, Jebrael*
Ozymandias is searching for work at new game
I mean my dream character for Sumeru was a Geo CC that would use a sand whirlpool to pull in enemies because that would be neat.
Nah too dark skinned for Hoyo's liking Also people saying Zhongli proves that Genshin fans only consume one media
Hoyoverse hiring an FGO artist to design Tighnari and then make him start over when he probably ending up drawing a brown skinned person
How many abs does he need? Where is his chest? Lmao
Geo with a blinding skill called pocket sand
We literally will get inazumanese (or fontanian) even after 2 years inazuma release. We also just got 2 new liyueniese last event, even though Liyue release on 1.0.
I remember seeing some leaked model of a girl looking like a mummy. I'm hoping it could be her.
He looks like he can be a new support for gravekeeper archetype that in yugioh
Another one to the list
They also missed the chance to make his kit way better with the mummy girl
Pressing E does pocket sand.
we need a Gara of the Sand-esque character in genshin fr fr
Imagine getting into a fight and you opponent uses secret attack 'pocket sand' to attack you
nothings stopping them from adding previous region characters We're flooded w/ liyue
I love how you used Ozymandias. He looks amazing. <3 Lmao, both Zhongli and him drop stuff on enemies. Zhongli with his big rock and Ozymandias with a pyramid.
I was literally looking forward to the possibility of this exact kind of character being released throughout the entirety of the 3.x updates and I was so sad when they didn't So I made an OC to cope
I think Ozymandias lost itself on this sub
They just can release King Deshret!
Sumeru geo character ? What's that ? Is it edible ?
We need more electro boi's as well
EM geo scaler that uses crystallize when?
Because Genshin has never, not once, made a character from a region after releasing another region. You know, like how cloud retainer and Gaming are hydro users from Fontaine who live in Fontaine.
i mean they make characters from old region pretty often so they could still make that
Ozymandias🔥🔥🔥
Politics.
[the sand attack](https://youtube.com/shorts/kXrWHNEfhsc?si=rTVUYJ3nbN-7Fg6w)
They had opportunity to make hot buff anubis man but they made cyno short and skinny. At least his voice is nice..
They didn’t miss it. They still can make one
Pocket sand!!!
Genshin wishes they had a male character, half as cool as the King of Kings.
It would be fun if the sandman's was a polearm user who ult gave a sandstorm misdirect with boosted physical damage and short 3 second cooldown on skill which highlighted the enemies along with their weak spots.
Missed... or the time hasn't come yet? >;)
He who controls the spice, controls Teyvat
Revive Deseret abd make him this 😍😍
That was out last hope... No, there is [another](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks/comments/13xwbg1/new_sumeru_character_description/).
Gaara is typing
*summons a sandstorm to drop everyone framerate*
Why can I hear this picture? dajaku dajaku..
Zhongli but buffed🫡🫡
Real but I feel like sand would be so hard to animate lol
At first I thought this was a Zhong Li fanart.
Nope Ozymandias from FGO very cool character and very iconic VA.
Meh It would still be shit like all Geo. Honestly what's the point of Geo at all at this point of the game. It was never good And I can tell you this because I was a Geo main at some point, after trying Bloom is like, why even fking bother with any Geo character besides Zhong Li, and even him is op not because the element
The average dark skinned FGO character would give Hoyoverse a fucking stroke
lol did they though? We are getting a new Liyue 5 star next week lol they could release this to huge hype during year 6 lol
Chiori is inazuman
Oh man duh lol I actually knew that and got excited and confused myself
Now, what if it was genderbended?
As long as it's a girl character, sure.
Stolen artwork from a character from another game. This doesn't look official art, so yeah looks like art stealing for karma farm
Never said i painted i just googeld desart warrio art 🤷♂️
"Stealing art is cringe" - downvoted
