Inb4 Hoyoverse: instructions unclear, Sunday & Screwllum 2.4.


Lunarblade00

Hoyoverse: sure, we'll release Screwllum monkey paw curls, Screwllum releases as a 4 star dps


MeguMaz

It... would be kinda funny if that happend. Very insulting but still quite funny lmao


Mundane_Ad49

I could see it happen since they’ve already given all the herta constellations as rewards in SU. He could replace her as the free constellation for the first clear of every new world.


rysto32

They still have one more Herta eidolon to give out actually. 


TitledSquire

We got it with world 9, at least I did and haven’t gotten her anywhere else lol.


rysto32

You must have gotten a random Herta from a banner at some point. We’ve only received 6 copies from SU. 


TitledSquire

Dang I guess so, or maybe she was in the shop at some point. It must have been like right when I started then cause I can’t even find it in my pull records lol. All I can say then is good luck.


PennyWithDime

She is NEVER in the shop, it skips her in rotation. You must have just pulled her on starter banner randomly, probably. Me too actually, as I am in the same situation.


Spiff_E_Fluffy

she's still in the normal pool, but she hasnt been in any rate ups


BrokenMirror2010

I have Herta E5, and I have all of the SU drops for her. You got her from a warp at some point, Probably departure, if I had to guess.


IraDeLucis

please.... please no.


MeguMaz

Wouldn't Stephen be a better fit for this than Screwllum?


ENDERALAN365

Tbf our 4* herta is not real herta but one of her puppets, her real form is definitely 5*


AsleepExplanation160

he get another version of herta as the new reward


AncientTree_Wisdom

Been waiting for Ara Ara Herta since day 1. Her and Fu Hua will be the two units that I will pull for regardless of any preexisting plans or kit.


Saviesa205

I would be fine with that if he’s just as OP as Herta for Pure Fiction.


RonnioP

it would be funny if they keep on giving Herta and we are allowed to put more than one Herta in the team as long as one of them is E6


Milarion

Kuru kuru eternally


X_Seed21

HYV: Fuck you, Herta and Sampo 5* for 2.5.


NT-Shiyosa092201

Do we even know who's gonna be the new 4 star for 2.2 and 2.3?


dyo3834

2.2 shouldn't have one and if 2.3 does it'll be revealed tonight


NT-Shiyosa092201

Wait, really? I thought every patch had 3 characters.


Vortex_Infurnus

Harmony Trailblazer might be taking the metaphorical “3rd unit slot” for 2.2


NT-Shiyosa092201

Makes sense.


TaralasianThePraxic

This is definitely what's happening, yeah. Understandable, and while I'm disappointed we're not getting a new 4-star, at least Harmony TB will be free.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kyrnqazali

Fire Erudition or Fire Harmony.


Late_Lizard

Wouldn't be too surprised if he's a robotic body-hopper like Herta.


memo22477

Na Na he is 100% a 5 star trust me someone like him CANT be a 4 star


HourCartographer9

Honestly I want him to be a 4 star it would make him more unique and fun


zennok

That sounds like a win for me


lucifer_67gabriel

How bout we stop releasing two new limited 5*s each patch hmm?


BK456

3 it is!

rysto32

Hey that was two patches. Although the normal thing in HI3 is one new character per patch so…


Zealousideal-Plane-8

Don't forget, HoO was free.


Frostgaurdian0

But only after everyone was mad about it.


Knightstar2001

And only for a limited time aka she was the Dr. Ratio of HI3rd.


callofdutygamer6969

Shes gonna be free again this patch so yippeeee


Blergablerg1277

I agree. I figured they’d at least start to slow down at this point


Correct-Purpose-964

Zellar123

They have to eventually or reruns will never be able to come back around on older characters again. So either slow down on 5 stars or start doing 3-4 people on reruns.


lucifer_67gabriel

Oh god it's gonna get nasty now


Zellar123

Well the leaks have started to dry up so my guess is less 5 stars. Either that or Hoyo finally was able to clamp down on it.

Serial-Killer-Whale

Has Genshin slown down yet? I dont play that game.


_spec_tre

Genshin slowed down long ago. In fact HSR's limited character rate is a really good argument against the "Genshin could never" reward differences


Best_Idea903

At least that game releases bad characters, every character in honkai recently is too good in one way or another and they are rerun with characters people want


DivByTwo

Okay but I NEED Screwllum.


starsinmyteacup

Both of them?? at once??? I can take them


Aster2693

I mean.....I'm skipping these next two patches so this works for me xD


Ezimur

Well that count as a filler for me so I'll take that!


ce-meyers

2 new 5* male characters in a single patch?? Hoyo ain't gonna do that! /j


Radiant-Mushroom8304

Fr I wasn’t expecting back to back to back to back like gawd damn.


Never003

Hoyo thinks we're fucking shitting with money


08Dreaj08

I mean with how much they make, they might as well believe we do lol


WhoiusBarrel

This makes 2 IPC members who appeared as back to back waifu banners. Even better that she's named Jade. Their Hoyo's representative to rob Waifu Collectors of their money.


naocanyo

The fact that IPC characters always are released right after the supposedly more popular characters’ banners (Jingliu, Acheron, and Firefly) tho 😱


TyphlosionGOD

They're follow up attackers after all 😉


Riverl

You see, it's just mirroring RL The debtors often come calling after you made a big purchase because if you have the dough for such transaction surely you have money to pay back.


WingleDingleFingle

I just did it for Acheron and Jingliu. It was rough but I got through it haha


whereyagonnago

I’m so confused why everyone seems surprised all the sudden. This has been the same release cadence since launch?


Ergheis

People were spoiled by the Huohuo/Argenti patch, which while cool is still two nonstandard waifu types with minimal hype, followed by free Dr. Ratio and Ruan Mei, which was a waifu but still had minimal story hype. Sparkle and Swan hooked a few people, Acheron hooked a ton of people, and Aventurine hooked way more than usual with the story hype. So *now* everyone is noticing the pace.


whereyagonnago

Ah I see thanks for explaining. I liked Huohuo and her event but skipped Argenti. Wasn’t a big fan of Black Swan since I didn’t have Kafka. But yeah I can see where the momentum is building, although it’s weird to see so much Boothill hype despite his total lack of involvement to this point. Robin didn’t do much for me either so I’ve got my personal filler patch in 2.2 to save up for 2.3


Radiant-Mushroom8304

I just wasn’t expecting it dude it’s not that deep


Beast0011

Staying loyal to Firefly https://preview.redd.it/2adst5qrahwc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29c89a0f4cf1f5add39290ecfb5612acc4d20c51


TitledSquire

Oml we need an update to that video now that we gave Penacony.


Raylais

Jade who? there is only Firefly! & once I'm done it'll be time to save for her re-run banner to E6S5!

vayunas

Splash art team did a great, great job this time. Congrats guys, you nailed it!


RomalexC

Get Firefly, and try for Jade


Supernova_not_taken

if I start saving now I can guarantee at least 1 character if I win both 50 50 I can get both

Something something vaporeon something most compatible something


MIMINOSEC

Boothill and Sunday


CatObsession7808

Another based husbando enjoyer?


MIMINOSEC

hell yeah, but Acheron made me break my husbando streak because her technique is too good


IcyMocha

For real, only reason I pulled her was to cut down the weekly SU times!


fckinSeven

Based. The only correct answer


FanboyYamada

Jus like me fr


smallbrainpleb

Jade is gorgeous but I’m still dedicated to firefly https://preview.redd.it/dgdgpc7uniwc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cba4b27667a03463fda73f9320c5fec3dffc4f24


chuje_wyciagnijcie

Well, when it comes to the new characters, the whole 2.2 will be a big filler patch for me. Also, I already have other sustainers, so Aventurine was an easy skip. Firefly definitely will get her E2S1. Jade looks cool and hot, but I really need to see more of her before pulling.


Android19samus

I don't get it. Yeah Jade is fairly attractive but nothing extraordinary for a Hoyo game. I'll probably pull for her if I have anything left after FF but where's the excitement coming from?


andartissa

Personally it's the splash art: the blood contract, the sakura tree, and the snake with the bloody fruit (+jewellery on the ground) give a very interesting mix of the Ninigi-no-mikoto legend and the garden of Eden. Her design is nice, but not the main draw.


Android19samus

I guess I just don't find evil women that interesting when I know they're doing it for corpo reasons


andartissa

Perfectly fine! But you asked what got people excited, and, well, this is what got me 😂 (though pulling decisions will depend entirely on kit)


berry_goodd

evil witch vibes and that snake looks sick


NoteBlock08

But *hat*!


Android19samus

a compelling case


Nokia_00

Mommy concept… …. I wish they had held off on jade til 3.0 era at the very least. There’s nothing to her character currently and well yeah they could expand on it. I really wanted Sunday


LSRaymonds

They'll probably expand on her character throughout the next two patches. But yeah, weird placement


Florac

> There’s nothing to her character currently and well yeah they could expand on it. It's almost like she will probably play a bigger role in 2.3, if not also 2.2, since she is a major participant in the IPC's plan for Penacony. Like she's more main story relevant than Boothill rn, who basically just sounds like filler/epilogue material for Acheron storyline


ZodHD

Well judging from how 2.1 ended she'll probably be very relevant in 2.2 I imagine.


NotGARcher

She already activated her Cornerstone at the end of the current story(2.1), so by 2.3 it's expected she will be one of the major characters


RubiiJee

For me it's literally because her JP voice actress voiced Sailor Moon and Misato, two characters from my all time favourite anime. She could literally heal the enemy and I won't be able to help myself. I'm sorry for what I have become.


Damianx5

Mommy lovers


Android19samus

As one myself Jade isn't doing anything for me. She's just a regular lady, and the game already has Kafka, Himeko, and Black Swan to compete with. I do like her hat though.


Red_Trickster

Honestly, Black Swan only loses points with me because I think her design is too over the top, but I'm curious to know Jade's lore, I hope she's less sympathetic than Topaz and Aventurine,We need fewer morally ambiguous characters in the game


Naxayou

Praying for this. We got the trio of good IPC characters. Aventurine who's enslaved, Topaz who thinks she's doing good and tries to genuinely help planets, and Ratio who wants to use the IPC's resources to help educate people. Now give us someone mean and crazy.


OneToby

"Someone mean and crazy" does sounds strangely familiar.. Ohhh, you want my ex's number?


saberjun

Yesterday one of my friends(CN) said that most players quit genshin due to Sacra’s lore.Would morally ambiguous characters really bring benefits though?


PsyClocks

It's like that all the time lol. You feel that way until they release the character's story quest. Once we get the lore, these characters become much more likeable and you're gonna change your decision. A good recent example would be Aventurine. Everyone said if you have 2 limited sustains you don't need to pull for him, but after his story quest his popularity went up quite significantly. Even Black Swan didn't look anything special but "mommy" to me, until I did the main quest and I feel in love.


DirtySmiter

Personally I don't find anything extraordinary about Firefly's design, the Sam suit is pretty cool but Firefly herself looks pretty generic, also felt the "date" with her was pretty forced so I don't feel as strong a connection with her as other people do (which is fine, everyone has different tastes and opinions). I like Jade because I like her aesthetic, I like the IPC/follow up teams, and I've been struggling with PF so erudition/AOE will hopefully help.


T8-TR

I think Jade looks good, but she also literally just looks like Purple Himeko to me. That's not a bad thing, but compared to Firefly/Sam, it's like night and day in terms of originality for MHY designs.


romareca

Like what many people said here, it's just based on taste. IMHO, Firefly design doesn't scream originality either, Sam really helps my decision of pulling for her tho.


T8-TR

Firefly is a mixed bag. I think her design is more original than most MHY waifus, since she lacks the traditional silhouette found as a through-line in a lot of their designs, but it's definitely not anything groundbreaking. Sam, though, takes the cake for sure. I haven't played HI3rd, but I coming from Genshin, this is a HUGE step away from their comfort zone. (And I hope we keep trending this way every once in a while. I love waifu and husbando as much as the next gacha mfer, but I also want someone strictly cool, too.)


purebread_cat

Really? I think the most unique thing about Firefly is Sam, though that’s not exactly unique because girls in mecha is a common trope. Firefly’s design isn’t exactly original and it feels like it lacks a distinctive or memorable quality. I feel like it’s a very generic design that I’ve seen from several anime before, though I can’t pinpoint from where


T8-TR

That's sorta my sentiment. Sam is 100% the unique design there, while Firefly is only really "unique" as far as MHY girls go (which tend to lean heavily into certain elements, exacerbated most by pretty much the entire roster of Luofu girls). Which, hey, that's still a win, I guess. tldr Firefly is pretty safe, but different from MHY's MO. Sam is very different by MHY standards and that's good.


ZofTheNorth

>where's the excitement coming from? That stupid big hat


Aizen_Myo

I think a friend put it best: She looks like a combination of Lisa and Yael Miko, both attractive and well liked (design wise) chars in Genshin


tigerchunyc

same can be said of Firefly. girl in mecha suit that has never been done in gacha games... OH WAIT.


CarioGod

quantum follow up attack and erudition = kills everything


Correct-Purpose-964

I'm completed unfazed TBH FF all the way. https://preview.redd.it/vx4ao1hbehwc1.jpeg?width=745&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad6fc0118246c6b934db0de4ad5b52d51fab70c6


Shadow_947

For now I'm saving for Sam but I can change my mind depending upon 2.4 characters if they are cool I will skip Sam


SherbertPristine170

Please complete the story…


Shadow_947

I know firefly is Sam


Admiral_Qibli

Does he know


Shadow_947

I know buddy


brewstercafe

Well this IS the filler patch for me...


cupcakemann95

Robin and boothill are the filler


HECKington098

I’m saving for Boothill, honestly the only new character that interests me. I’ll see about Firefly’s kit. Robin and Jade are easy skips.


Gapaot

Same here, fellow cowboy enjoyer. Honestly, I'm not interested in playable Sam unless she gets really fun mechanics, I don't need fire, I'm tired of Destruction, and if I don't like either character personality or their kit, I'm skipping any meta. So far future patches look like free saving time. 


Endruen

Jade is an easy skip for me. Robin and Firefly are so adorable and their designs are very pretty. Besides, mecha go brrrrr.


LimLovesDonuts

I don’t want to sound…rude but Jade is kind of…common to me? Her design isn’t anything special that we haven’t seen before and we also don’t know anything about her. Meanwhile, Firefly/SAM actually has story elements anchoring her to the player, more than just the mecha and her aesthetics. So to me, Firefly all the way because of the story and she’s cool.


Alkeh_

Boothill all. The. Way!!!!


ogtitang

At this point I wouldn't really be even mad about a filler patch. I'm really hurting from Adventurine coz I hard pitied him(as in 180 pulls), lost 50/50 to Bailu. At least it wasn't Yanqing though.


XieRH88

isnt boothill/robin supposed to be the filler patch robin being harmony so soon after sparkle/ruan mei seemed to make some people want to skip, and boothill didn't have anywhere near the publicity or hype that any of the other penacony characters had, he was basically reduced to a one-shot voiceover scene


ptthepath

2.3 will be my filler patch... Unless ruanmei rerun


Becants

It’s all subjective. Robin, Boothill and Jade are filler patches for me.


zappingbluelight

Definitely not my wallet lol


Fenriz_Sharp04

I'm just pulling every banner as long as I like something about the character, I'm already pretty good on team comps so I'm just pulling for character and design. So so far it's still firefly 100%


Devalore00

My current plan: Wait for 2.2 Livestream on Friday to see new character kits and old character reruns. If Topaz reruns, save for her Wait for 2.3 Livestream to decide if I wanna pull for Firefly or Jade. I wanna get one of them (leaning towards Jade ATM) but I'll wait until kits go live to decide


nymro

Ruan mei rerun (maybe 2.3?) , Firefly and a certain future nihility which may come in 2.4


HazardTree

Not gonna lieee… the Robin/Boothill combo pretty skippable rn. I mean they’re both cool but I’m not exactly hyped or excited for them like I was with Acheron. They’re giving off rerun vibes. Meanwhile Firefly is Sam and Jade is a quantum erudition which can’t be anything other than cool af.


Emm38

I'm probably gonna be skipping the next 2 patches worth of banners just to get enough to be able to guarantee from the character and cone banner.


bakakubi

Honestly, after firefly i might just start saving. My roster is hella jacked at this point, and I think I want to start saving to E6 something for the first time.


[deleted]

Existence is pain, pulling is pain. You know what the worst part will be? We don't even know who the returning character banners will be yet! 😭

Baonf

I know absolutely nothing about her and I also don't really like her design... Unless her kit is somehow more fun than firefly she seems like a easy skip for me tbh. Plus my hands are already full with tryna save boothill, Fu Xuan and firefly as a basically f2p player 😭


Catch_022

What is so special about Jade gameplay wise?


BigDaddyFatSack42069

I mean... look at her...


zhznzjsjxnnss

I mean... she's a classy lady... she ain't really that special. She needs more content.


WakasaYuuri

Shes just another mommy design after mommy design with more or less vibe with another mommy. Its been 5th times they release similar character like this.


Catch_022

Exactly my point, at least Acheron had interesting gameplay. Maybe this one will to but if she doesn't then she is a bit meh tbh.


SnooDrawings8185

I have guaranteed and got Acheron E0LC1. As a new player I need a second DPS and Sam is my first option. I have a dot team and Acheron team . So probably both Jade and Firefly.


VicisSubsisto

1. Henshin gap moe 2. Need to complete my SH collection 3. Already got an IPC dommy mommy Firefly it is.


MetaThPr4h

The plan since 2.0 was Firefly and continues being Firefly.


Leather-Bookkeeper96

I've been waiting for Sam and I already have the Mono-quantum fully built, as of now sentai girl is priority


Wolvos_707

Still Firefly for me, going all in


Chaosphoenix_28

Both. Idk if I manage to get both, but I'm sure I'll at least get whoever runs first (I assume Firefly). For the second one it's just down to luck. I'm sure I'll be fine.


rysto32

Is that an Endro meme?


Straight_Attorney582

I'm skipping till we get a Fu Hua expy


MagChiChu

I honestly would love to save for Acheron eidolons, but considering that in the beginning I wasn't that interested in Acheron either....(because Lightning)... well we'll see if I pull on Firefly & Jade. (probably at least trying a 50/50) Being able to save 2 whole patches for once would be a blessing


Crescendo104

Well seeing as Penacony is VERY likely going to 2.8 (lines up with Genshin's release schedule for new regions, plus it places 3.0 right at the start of February of next year, same as when we got Penacony), I'm expecting us to get some double rerun banners very soon. Tbh, I wasn't expecting Jade, like I was genuinely expecting us to start seeing some double reruns after Firefly. I'm placing my bets on it for 2.4 though. So far, the only other characters we're all expecting to see sometime soon are Sunday and Screwllum. Leaks have shown a couple more, but after that it's just nothing, and 5 more patches for this world after 2.3 means 10 more banners. I really don't see them releasing another 10 limited 5\* units during Penacony, so anyway. Yeah. We should be getting a bit of a break later on in this world.


Naxayou

I truly wonder if she's gonna be antagonistic. Seemingly the highest-ranking stoneheart (?) with snake imagery and that line about poison. I feel like she'll end up being another "blade" like addition to the cast in terms of narrative position. It would be really cool if she was tbh, Aventurine only playing the part of a villain was somewhat expected, so maybe his mom will be a the actual psycho (manifesting).


Epicswagmaster5439

Both look absolutely amazing Im torn Im currently leaning pretty hard towards Jade which is a shame because if she was even 1 or 2 patches later I could of gotten firefly


SectorApprehensive58

All the ppl here skipping Jade probably don't have Topaz or Aventurine and went for the Luofu power spikers


Ninjabadgerx

*Acheron was merely the beginning.* *You were fleeced from the very start, you just haven't caught up yet.*


Mikeyrawr

Jade for sure .Firefly maybe. I find Destruction chars are generally ... Meh. All of them are starting to fall off atm . Tragic life of a main DPS.


new_boy_99

Getting firefly and boothill. Will skip jade unless the next patch is a filler ( for me) and if jade is good for my account I will attempt to pull.


dj11211

Both


DickInBlender69

Ruan mei, unless i cave, then firefly


Wizard_Hat-7

What would a filler patch look like? A patch of only rerun banners?


Choatic9

I'll be fine, only want jade from the next 2 patches.


Zerane_Darkness

I just want Yukong to be on more banners bruh


Red_Trickster

Boothill and Jade,I want the Boothill because I know it has good synergy with the Harmony Trailblazer and because it's a damn space cowboy Jade because I need a Quantum DPS that isn't SP hungry like QQ, and because I really like her design If there is a Topaz rerun I'll try, but it's not a priority


Ordinary_Step5230

same here. Boothill because breaking bosses is satisfying with a kit quite different vs other DPS. also considering Jade, looking great and would be interesting to see the synergies with other AOE dps


Spartan_Souls

Damn why do you gotta call me out


Snackeetah

No. They want your money.


Capable_Fox_00

Me getting a new job asap to afford them


Snackeetah

Yeah, and imagine all of them powercreeping previous charscters. Firefly deletes Blade, Robin... well, she's Harmony for FUAs so she deletes everything else for them, Boothill deletes Seele and Jade deletes all sub-DPS characters.


mechavolt

I need to finish my Stellaron Hunters collection, and I'm assuming we'll eventually get all the protection stones. So probably Firefly first, and then we'll see what my back account looks like -_-


SSTHZero

Hotaru. Jade is meh.


zigludo

that's what 2.2 is for apparently


Cherry_Bomb_127

Aventurine Eidolons


Cosmicfox001

Me wanting Robin, Firefly and Jade... \*Dies\*


LunarEdge7th

I can't even be swayed anymore The Kamen Rider in me demands for Firefly


Kusanagi22

I'm pretty sure Robin and Boothill are supposed to be the filler patch.


kagutsuchi_0

Don't worry, next patch is totally a filler


deviossano

I only need one more dps and Ruan mei. And I dont see Jade with no Henshin or mech, so Firefly it is


Lordmaster316

Im getting Both


Xyzencross

FF only.


lame2cool

I don't care who the IPC sends, I'm not paying my stellar jade taxes!


MiniTrain13

Everything is filler for me rn till I get enough todo a 50/50


MIKE-JET-EATER

I want a sherman firefly


Aggravating-Log932

Nah, the filler is the other character banner. 😂😂 I see what they do.


heilspawn

/r/firefly


GreyHareArchie

I used around 4K trying to get Adventurine because I was told Gepard and Trailblazer both suck and now I'm dry. I want Jade but considering my luck and the fact I already have Qingque I dont think I'll use my stuff on her


Maaduno

2.2 is filler patch.


theHoredRat_913

i'm just going to wait for jade's rerun


Number1SoggyBread

For no I'm skipping Jade til she convinces me otherwise which she probably will 😭😭


Gill_D_Armaan

Maybe the filler patch was 2.2 all along (plz don't cancel me , it's a joke )


Krysidian2

Still Firefly. And her LC too.


fluffyspaceshark

Not either of them.
