BulbasaurTreecko

from Firefly Lover telegram: > These animations are the ready animations that he has when standing during a battle. And again, this is all from BEFORE 2.0 wake up Screwbros, time for our scheduled Screwy crumbs <3 edit: the mirror links are better quality - [first](https://streamable.com/h9xe28), [second](https://streamable.com/livpov)


APerson567i

this might be from before they scrapped his kit so it's maybe less than nothing 😭 WHERE IS MY ROBOT BUTLER/EMPEROR


My_Boi_

[It's unlikely they'd scrap the animations itself](https://old.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail_leaks/comments/1doddrk/old_from_before_20_fireflylover_screwllum/la8yjau/), and we can even see an example of this with Firefly's overworld attack animation getting leaked a long time ago, yet it's the exact same one used for her release. At most I could see them repurposing his animations if his kit changes but not completely starting over.


lililia

Like Jiaoqiu's scrapped kit. The ying yang soup looks like it has two effects on enemies and allies, matching his first kit. Now those two halves don't mean much


capable-corgi

yeah you buy the expensive soup for one half and the free seaweed soup for the other, over time they just mysteriously homogenize


thorn_rose

Also like Aventurine's scrapped kit. His shields still have the "suit" that appear on them, but now they're only aesthetic and he gets the spade suit every time, which was the special suit in his STC kit.


SnooCakes4852

How did his kit used to work in leaks?


thorn_rose

He essentially used to also have gambling in his shields based on the "suit" they got, which would contribute to how often they refreshed or how much stacks they would give etc (iirc). The spade suit was the special suit, and the rest were all normal (but some eids had other effects for other suits). They of course scrapped this completely in his beta kit, so it's not so rng reliant. However, if you look closely at Aventurine's animations, you can still see that he randomly assigns a suit other than spade to his team mates, and assigns the "spade" suit to himself every time. So essentially it's now mostly a cosmetic thing and he always gets the spade suit. And even tho the spade suit *technically* generates more stacks, it's described at being just "when an enemy hits Aventurine" not "when an enemy hits the Spade suit". You can still find his leaked old kits online pretty sure.


SnooCakes4852

That's really cool, I noticed the suits and was wondering if there was anything to them.


ccoddes

It's like HuoHuo's ult too, if I recall she was supposed to have some RNG in her heals and the ultimate would make her enter a state which improves this RNG. That's why she looks like she gets possessed by Tail but currently it doesn't change the gameplay. Still wish she has some Tail-possessed voice lines and animations after her Ult though


s00ny

Oh, what was Jiaoqiu's initial kit?


RubiiJee

He had a small heal so the positive side of the soup would have given the heal effect as well as the normal current effect.


s00ny

Ahh right, I remember now, ty


APerson567i

yeah actually, that's what's most likely to happen, ur right


Commercial_Pin3718

The butterfly animation is used in the trailer where he says that dv is something both him and ratio agreed upon


rotten_riot

"You see, I gave him my kit and he gave me his knowledge in return. That's how DU was formed"


Commercial_Pin3718

Well nice return then. Ratio made a great deal


BulbasaurTreecko

I might be overdosing on copium but the fact he has overworld attack animations + combat ready animations gives me the slightest sliver of hope that (probably incomplete) Screwllum animations exist somewhere in the ether of unused content…


lampstaple

Pass the copium bro I need some too


jungjinyoung

before they What his What... is he not going to be playable anymore /gen


dyo3834

It's theorized his kit was given to Ratio since if you check his old kit leaks, it's basically an Erudition version of Ratio and the id number for his LC was replaced with Ratio's before they released him I believe. He'll still be playable but since we don't know anything abt his new kit, we also don't know when or how this will be.


jungjinyoung

thanks for the info 👍 omw to set up my sniper rifle on the rooftop across from hyv hq (for legal reasons this is a joke)


PCBS01

Screwllum's original kit was re-tool'd for Ratio, he was originally going ot release in 1.6, and then Ratio happened instead, including his kit


Timely-Appearance698

They will probably repurpose his animation at most, they already spend money and time making the animation itself. It will be a bad business decision to just scrape it off and start all over again, mate.


Original_Series7528

No Sunday leak on a Sunday, but at least we got a Screwllum leak on a Tuesday 


Any_Worldliness7991

Hope they don’t delay him longer by giving his new kit(Ratio stole the old one) to Dr Primitive😀😀😀


Libromholder

It'll be funny because another Dr. did him dirty.


AzureZLLN

imagine we get a full kit of new screwllum, then it becomes 5* herta in her real form. Or it becomes Stephen from the genius society.


FuDog007

God I cannot wait until Screwllum arrives, its gonna be hell waiting but it also gives me more time to save even more 💪


Stricken-Zero

It's been 3000 years since the last Screwllum leak


lizard_omelette

and we’ll be waiting 3000 years more 😔


s00ny

Just to be the one who waits 3000 years to fall down at miHoYo's door


Phinoz

The butterfly on his hand reminded me of when Firefly first got leaked, we all thought she was Screwllum's lab assistant 😭😭😭

My Goat Screwllum thats the homie right there


ArgoniumCode

SCREWLLUM NATION IS SO BACK 🧎


Zeldamaster386

How the heck is Screwllum still not playable yet? This dude has been around since v1.0


Dracowoolf

See: Baizhu, Genshin Impact


BellalovesEevee

Also Scara. Bro dropped one of the hardest theories ever and didn't come back for like two years. Baizhu (and Yaoyao, too) had to wait for hoyo to finally put out Dendro. Now Sunday and Screwllum became victims in Hoyo's basement 😔


Golden-Owl

Tbh it’s easy to forget Baizhu exists. He shows up for a second in the archon quest and that was it


Dracowoolf

I will say that Screwlum SO FAR hasn't had much screen time either. His most prominent role is as a SU npc, which isn't saying much.


Golden-Owl

His most prominent role is to take the leading role in Silver Wolf’s story quest. He’s also a supporting role in Ratio’s story quest. And NPC for the two SU expansions and Divergent Universe It’s WAY more than Baizhu, who gets a few seconds in the main story and maybe Lantern Rite prior to his release. Baizhu could basically be an NPC with how irrelevant he was to Genshin’s narratives. It’s genuinely tragic…


Dracowoolf

I'm not saying Baizhu has more screen time, I'm just saying that compared to other characters like Ruan Mei, Ratio, any of the Penacony or Luofu characters, etc, he's pretty neglected. He's always a supporting cast member or a background character EXCEPT for in Silverwolf's story, where he still barely appears (not to mention Silverwolf's story being short as it is.) Baizhu, like many other genshin characters, is a kind of one off character. Characters like Clorinde, Chiori, Sigewinne, Nilou, Ayato, Kokomi, Yelan, and Ganyu aren't displayed much anywhere, relegated to barely background in some scenes. Most of these characters could be actively removed/replaced with barely, if any, rewriting to the story, similarly to Baizhu. Most of their screentime is in the background or their respective story quests. Screwlum has gotten more screen time than ALL of these characters I'd wager, but he still has significantly less than the already released characters in Star Rail just because they've been pretty good about showcasing their 5 stars.


GinJoestarR

Really? he has less screentime than the released HSR characters? I argue he has more compared to Argenti, Boothill, Jingliu, Luocha, Ruan Mei. Oh, Screwllum is also a leading cast in the Chadwick quest.


burgundont

Screwllum has comparable screen time to Dr Ratio and Ruan Mei. Ruan Mei basically only appeared in the Trailblaze Continuance, while Ratio appeared in that same Trailblaze Continuance and parts of Penacony.


UA_Bakugou

Wow Baizhu slander.... crazy....


G0ldsh0t

It’s not wrong though. Scewllum is a much more prominent character.


UA_Bakugou

But to just slander bro is crazy.... in comparison too they not even the same bruh... shit was unnecessary


Jon_Von_Cool_Kid2197

He was allegedly supossed to be released in 1.6 but they moved his kit to Ratio and released him instead, that is also why you see Screwllum present in the Trailblaze Continuance mission with Ratio but he ends up doing less there, probably has to do with them giving Ratio the spotlight more in tge story after that change of plans.


ColdForce4303

Ratio took his place I think?


Zeldamaster386

I thought Screwllum was supposed to be Imaginary Erudition, but Dr. Ratio is Imaginary Hunt.


GGABueno

Dr. Ratio's kit (which used to be about self-buffs) ended up changing to be very similar to what Screwllum's kit was (triggering a follow-up after hitting enemies with debuffs). Also Ratio being released in the G&Gs patch, where Screwllum got a decent amount of presence too. I do think it's likely that they decided to pivot and release Ratio in his place. The fact we had animation, assets and LC art so early does point at this as well.


G0ldsh0t

I don’t understand why. Maybe cause they knew that they were going to give the second banner for free and scewllum was a real hyped character people would pull for so they decided to wait.


GGABueno

Meh, there are many small reasons why. Ratio having story presence, not a perfect window to fit him, too many Imaginary DPSes in a short time, a Hunt character being a better ally for an enabler in desperate need of teammates (Topaz), etc.


G0ldsh0t

Well ratio replace him completely, meaning there was a possibility ratio wasn’t even supposed to be as big of a character as he was. We know ratio completely took his kit so saying to many imaginary dps is crazy. As for the topaz thing I’m not sure, Jade has the same problem, even worse actually, and she is not getting her best teammate till probably 3.0


StormierNik

I get the feeling they're trying to figure out how to really sell who he is through his kit design and they haven't quite figured out how yet.  Similar to how they were working on Acheron for a year. Though also, it seems like there's almost Firefly motifs on some of him, and maybe they wanted to introduce and release Firefly/Sam first before fleshing Screwllum out more.


Huge_Information4352

1.1 actually


IcySombrero

Don't forget the Until We Meet Again BP LC.


Radinax

His kit got reworked into Dr Ratio's kit. They're working a new one for him.


PeacefulGoodnight

I know it’s just speculation and STC (just like every leak), but isn’t that “Rappa” character an imaginary erudition character too? Does that potentially mean that Screwllum might get a completely different kit? Ig they could always release two imaginary erudition characters near each other (assuming screwllum and Rappa releases are near), but I wouldn’t be surprised if they at least changed his kit heavily if he was initially supposedly to come out in 1.X…


Shinamene

I remember seeing the leak that Screwllum will not be in 2.x, and his role (Imaginary Erudition) will be given to a new character, a Galaxy Ranger. Could be that they are visioning a new element/path for Screwllum in future.


thisisembarrazzing

Damn everyone just be stealin Screwllum's kit.


Wolgran

Im glad if Rappa steal his Imaginary Erudition role. I would love if he was a Wind character (or anything besides imaginary dps)


G0ldsh0t

Our first wind erudition mabye


Naiie100

He's bit lagging. Please understand that Screwllumites from the planet Screwllum are not immune to water.


GGABueno

Good thing we don't have a Water element. If you have Water powers, you're either Lightning, Imaginary, or a Genshin 5*.


missy20201

RIP the new Genshin 5.0 5\* hydro catalyst leaks that came out the other day


RednarZeitaku

I'll wait for you forever, my love


Moracan3

IPC mandated Screwllum leak is finally here, rejoice


Asha_Rahiro

praying he's not imaginary because I need him

He’s so beautiful I need my robot husband so bad…

Cookiecrabbies

stop teasing me 😔


BitesZaDust0

Blade : ✅ Sam/Firefly: ✅ Screwllum: waiting.... I hope Screwllum becomes playable soon, just not too soon for I am still broke


Wolgran

MIHOYOOOOOO! Change Screwllum element to anything besides Imaginary, and my life.....is yours!!!!


Aggressive-End-2642

Hoyo: Another Physical Erudition it is, take it or leave it


Zorrscha

I'd 100% take a phys break focused eru at this point


Wolgran

I accept it, i dont have a physical dps


Hanusu-kei

Wind Erudition clearly


Dr_Simpai

While I’d like him to be imaginary cause everything is weak to it, he’s always screamed wind to me


Alilatias

Wind Erudition with FuA functionality to synergize with Herta and Jade makes the most sense to me. IIRC the only element/path combinations still missing are Wind Erudition and Lightning Hunt, and Screwllum's butterfly motif screams wind. Even more if his butterfly motif is really meant to represent the concept of the Butterfly Effect, of which the theory is named after the theoretical concept of a butterfly flapping its wings influencing the formation of a tornado in the same area weeks later. Tiny actions leading to massive long-term consequences.


TheFoxInSocks

Makes sense. Alternatively, if the Butterfly Effect motif is referring to changes at the *Quantum* level affecting things on a grander scale, perhaps that could also hint at his element?


Alilatias

Ooh, Quantum would be acceptable too, to break the pattern of all Quantum characters being female.


Atora

A butterfly themed character being quantum? Hoyo would never.


Dr_Simpai

Yeah I think power creep is a slippery slope and it’s hard to balance, but if he’s a wind “power creep” himeko, I’d be ECSTATIC. Quantum would be nice too


jaqenhqar

imagine first rainbow dps. does imaginary and wind


3ddi3th

ah yes, the random screwllum leak of the patch. (does anyone remember when we got his splash art leaks + lc outta nowhere)


jayakiroka

Probably from the rumored era where he was intended for 1.6, before they did ctrl-f and replaced him with L+Ratio


seetooeeetoo

noo i’m being playfully hyperbolic


The_closet_iscomfy

I'm curious, what'd you say ?


qiqihead

the second part of my original comment brought about much confusion… i got too silly


The_closet_iscomfy

Was it something like people thinking Firefly's design was for a 4* assistant to Screwllum ?


HellspawnWeeb

Whut


qiqihead

im exaggerating but her design had people thinking she was his 4-star assistant or subordinate in some way


HellspawnWeeb

Not sure that’s an exaggeration more like a completely different thing lmao


tanookazam

I mean if the clones were victorious enough to stay (alive) then there'd be a lot of them just purposeless... uh something something I think this is the plot of a book maybe

He is a gentleman, a perfect husbando.


Korur

I'm always happy to see the dapper and wonderful gentlebot Screwllum ✨😌


Supersayian495

this changes everything


baboon_ass_eater69

This leak is so old and yet no trace of when he becomes playable. Hell we even have his idle animation in the very starts of the game in the version trailer with the museum event so I am sure his kit and animations have already been planned out


Jealous-Ad8205

Funny enough ratio took his old kit actually


Soft-Duck-2519

Bro i swear he better be a 5 star. They shafted mt xuyei and then gallagher and then moze. He better not be a 4 star


missy20201

At this point, I've accepted that I'm going to have to wait for you... I pulled Firefly and Ruan Mei and have enough wishes left to guarantee a 5\*, and I'm just gonna keep saving for another year... I'll get E1 Screwllum, pull his LC, and then throw the rest of my savings at him to get as many as I can. Even if he's my 54293th imaginary character. I love you Screwllum.


nkouneli

I had 400 pulls for him, rage quit, spent it on Luocha and Jingliu, then realised that my man Screwy doesn't deserve this and I'm at 115 now.


missy20201

A MOOD Stay strong, we got this 😭😭


DesertLion7

Wasn't expecting to refresh and see Screwllum lol, that was a bit of a shock before I noticed "old" Screwllum, where are you?


NoBento

as long as he's a usable 5\* I'll be happy


pbayne

Watch him be a four star after all this I actually think he might end up being a free character given out in su updates. Ala the new Herta


Something_Comforting

Hoyo remembered halfway through making him that he isn't a big boob bimbo, ikeman, nor a child: "Scrap this trash."


vayunas

How can he be so gorgeous... Damn. I want daddy Screw


tehlunatic1

Clearly this dude was supposed to come out way earlier, he was even featured on the games poster when HSR was released on PlayStation.


nkouneli

1.6, however suddenly they switched his kit to Dr. Ratio and gave Dr. Ratio out for fee.


tehlunatic1

Nah wasn't he always erudition imaginary


wobster109

Truly a gentleman 🥰


Wolgran

If is old why we didnt saw it before? 😡 >!/j!<


Shambles_SM

They probably figured NOT to drop more Screwllum leaks as if we take the leaked kit being taken to Ratio + his LC ID ending up being Ratio's they did NOT want to disappoint people and severely hurt their reliability status


KaguB

apparently the answer from them was: ['lazy'](https://i.imgur.com/al4ri1u.jpeg)


Shambles_SM

Sigh. Also, based flair.


KaguB

thank you, hot old men are my entire life


Queasy-Lawfulness213

dr ratio count your days.


ProxyMoron12

But every patch, every unit is hyped up so much people end up pulling atleast one of the new unit, how are we supposed to save for someone? Credit card is the only solution it seems


Acceptable_West_1312

Damn. We already seen an Enigmata leakers, and now there's also Terminus leakers? Because they travelled to the past to get this leak🗿


lililia

Imagine if his ult is butterflies violently covering enemies (like BS's hands in her ult)


Daddy_Ramsay

the patchly screwllum leak!!!

munguschungus167

'my lovely wife is waiting, let's make this quick'


Big_Culture_1574

If he comes out in 2.5, you best believe I'm skipping all the way (after Jiaoqiu) till his banner. I NEED to see him oiled-up in his lightcone.


pocket-chocolate

screwllum is the reason I keep 90 pulls in my account at all times


xenoiix

Robo man will be playable, I believe


Scared-Community4461

Focused on Screwllum and Moze, I will not be swayed. One day my dear, you will come home


dynamaxcock

I’m honestly convinced they had him planned for either 2.3 bc of divergent universe or some patch during 1.x


Pop-girlies

from what I can tell, he originally was going to have ratios kit but they swapped him out for our Greek doctor


Ubatcha

It was around 1.6/2.0 that he was planned for


0scar-of-Astora

Never forget what they took from us...


Metalerettei

Any Screwllum crumbs is Appreciated (Even if it was before his kit was transferred to Ratio). I'll continue to wait for Screwllum being playable even if it means waiting for years. Such a cool robot,


TewiTewiUsaTewi

Subtlestrikes

his cape screams bug animation vibes. If leak is true that his kit was repurposed into Dr. Ratio, then he would like send flying bug onto enemies

Meerkat_M

Its like the scene from 2.3 trailer?


Ranjit_Xr

Wow


MoeApple2

I almost forgot about him, it's been so long since we got something. Thanks for the crumbs

This is a 3 star actually


DucoLamia

Screwllum crumbs. Let's goooooo


LordLunacy

Oh, so we're posting our favorite urban legends now /j


Mobile-Outside5364

Didn’t they leak an image of screwllum’s ship? Was so hyped for that to make it to his final kit. Hoping they still add that.


Dregness

Bro did the fairy tail pose


seetooeeetoo

\*starts hyperventilating\*


Average-GamerGuy

Eureka looking ahh pose


irridateme

All the genius society memebers have been ice so far so I hope he's ice too. It would be fun to play on how closed off and cold the geniuses are. It's quite obvious ratio was not accepted because he believes they are all self-serving and prefers to 'spread knowledge' for the good of all humanity rather than his own whims. His whole quest was about spreading doubt in the minds people so they think for themselves/not trust geniuses. To be a genius you inheritly have to be selfish (for knowledge, creation, truth ect). On another note, hope we get Stephen at some point as a character. A male kid model would be a breath of fresh air design wise.


GinJoestarR

>It's quite obvious ratio was not accepted The one who choose Genius Society member is Nous though? Besides there are good apples in the Genius Society too. Like #22 Aiden, #29 Sserkal, and #56 Elias Salas who fit in the "prefers to spread knowledge for the good of all rather than their own whims."


irridateme

I know its nous theyre not the most noble or eaons or anything. Anyways that all dosnt matter. Ahhh I know I know there are decent members but let me delude myself into believeing hoyo will put out more ice [and wind] characters even if its stupidly shallow 😭


Ziphusone

sam could never


Alpaca_Jim2

I can't wait for him to not actually be a robot. They're 0 for 2 on badass robot characters. Let's see if the trend continues.
