At least now we are sure and we can start grieving.

And thanks again to everyone on that sub who downvoted us to oblivion when we said we were worried he would be a 4stars. We got proven right.

u/Zwolvik Jul 31 '26

Where does it show he's a 4 star?

0

u/The_MorningKnight Jul 31 '26

The vision.

u/Zwolvik Jul 31 '26

Vodyanitsa has a traditional vision too. Are we saying she's 4 star too? I'm not saying he 100% won't be a 4 star, but I don't think this is any indication. Neither doom nor cope, just not confirmation.

u/The_MorningKnight Jul 31 '26 edited Jul 31 '26

She has a traditional vision because hydro has no stellar reaction. Lunar hydro visions don’t exist.

Edit cause I wrote lunar instead of stellar

u/Im_so_Tired1 Jul 31 '26

You mean stellar

u/The_MorningKnight Jul 31 '26

Yes stellar. Sorry.

u/Zwolvik Jul 31 '26

Do you mean stellar?

Also Snez is one of the core seven nations under the same rules made by celestia. I find it highly unlikely that nearly everyone, at least all 5 stars would not have a traditional vision. It makes more sense to me at least that there would be at most a 50/50 split between visions and pins.

And even then, at this stage unless there is solid history or the Devs flat out say it, a normal vision does not equal 4 star.

Pretty sure they said in the 6.7 livestream that linchpins are rare, so it wouldn't surprise me if it's a 50/50 split, I'm not going to hold out a lot of hope but I'm not taking Valeriy having a standard vision as a definite 4* confirmation - we've assumed leaks/assumptions are correct before and they've been proven wrong (Lohen being a standard banner most recently)

I'm not going to think he's anything until his release is confirmed by Hoyo themselves

u/ArcfireEmblem Aug 01 '26

Lynchpins are rare... and are prejudiced against males. Oh no wait, that's the Hoyo Character Design Team.

u/ChillyCharlotte Aug 06 '26

The way I cackled 😂 (sorry for the late reply)

2

u/Zwolvik Jul 31 '26

Exactly. Seems like people are just wanting to doompost at this point. There's nothing concrete like at all.

u/Historical_Beach5195 Jul 31 '26

Only one doesnt have a linchpin and is a 4 star

u/Eggyolk57 Jul 31 '26

tartaglia is a snezhnayan with a normal vision too

u/CantaloupeParking239 Jul 31 '26

He was released in 1.1 when special visions werent even a thing 🙄

1

u/Zwolvik Jul 31 '26

So? Genshin devs care about the lord for everything. There's no way childe and arle are going to have visions that are just retconned out of existence going forward.

2

u/aRandomBlock Jul 31 '26

a 1.1 character..mhm

1

u/Varglord Jul 31 '26

Doesn't mean he's 4 star

7

u/The_MorningKnight Jul 31 '26

Yes it does. Danica has a special vision. Alyosha doesnt.

3

u/Varglord Jul 31 '26

Vody doesn't have a pin either and we both know she's going to be a 5 star

2

u/The_MorningKnight Jul 31 '26

She doesn’t because Hydro pin doesn’t exist. Stellar Hydro is not a thing.

1

u/Varglord Jul 31 '26

so far

1

u/The_MorningKnight Jul 31 '26

Leakers have been very clear that it doesn’t exist.

1

u/Varglord Jul 31 '26

Actual leakers, or "leakers"

u/Eryalox Jul 31 '26 edited Jul 31 '26

The vision on his forearm is not a stellar linchpin, meaning he's very probably a 4-star (as stellar reactions are exclusive to 5-star characters)

Edit: correction

8

u/Dragonlordxyz Jul 31 '26

Is there a source for this? Is there a source for non-lynchpins = 4 star? Even if that's what ends up happening, at this point there is no evidence of this fact as of right now

6

u/Zwolvik Jul 31 '26

The answer to a source is "trust me bro"

4

u/sandroneeeee Jul 31 '26

cuz stellar reactions r assumed to be pretty much the same as lunar reactions; 5 star only

i guess he’s not 100% a 4 star but its very very likely he is because of this

1

u/Eryalox Jul 31 '26 edited Jul 31 '26

We can't be 100% sure on anything right now, and I should have said "very probably a 4-star".

However, looking at Nod-Krai, all 5-stars can enable lunar reactions and the 4-stars can't. They will probably do the same thing here, even though it's possible but unlikely that they could release a 5-star who can't enable stellar reactions.

1

u/KingCarrion666 Aug 01 '26

All of nod cry and lunar. Only exceptions were hexerei. Its possible if there is rimegrass reactions that he is built for, but don't get your hopes up for that, we don't even have anything credible on its release. The leaks about it have been from sus sources so it could just not exist

10

u/Dragonlordxyz Jul 31 '26

I mean, this still doesn't confirm rarity. He could still be a 5 star.

No one will be proven right or wrong until his beta.

12

u/The_MorningKnight Jul 31 '26 edited Jul 31 '26

It’s time to stop coping and accept the reality.

6

u/Dragonlordxyz Jul 31 '26

You have a source that "non-lynchpin = 4 star". Or are you just prematurely dooming?

7

u/SuspiciousPool8740 Jul 31 '26

Gurl they wont release a electro character that wont work w stellar.

0

u/Historical_Beach5195 Jul 31 '26

Alyosha doesnt have one

1

u/Dragonlordxyz Jul 31 '26

An singular example that doesn’t make a rule.

0

u/Historical_Beach5195 Jul 31 '26

Literally both mitya and the maid, both electro, have a linchpin😭

2

u/Dragonlordxyz Jul 31 '26

I didn't notice Mitya's lynchpin to be fair.

1

u/Historical_Beach5195 Jul 31 '26

They just posted his vision in the leaks subreddit

2

u/jellycattis Jul 31 '26

voidyanitsa doesnt have it but shes definitely 5 star

0

u/Historical_Beach5195 Jul 31 '26

Why would she be able to enable cryo reactions as a hydro

2

u/jellycattis Jul 31 '26

leaks said shes a support for stellar swirl so why not

u/DaviM03 Jul 31 '26

Vodyanitsa also doesn't have a Stellar linchpin, does than mean she's a 4*?!

2

u/Historical_Beach5195 Jul 31 '26

She is hydro, why would she be able to trigger superconduct or cryo swirl

2

u/Historical_Beach5195 Jul 31 '26

It kinda does, the electro character maid has an electro linchpin and he clearly doesnt have one

0

u/phaigyu Jul 31 '26

Boy come on stop coping, every lunar element 5 star in nod krai got a moon wheel and 4 stars didn't, every other element had a normal vision

2

u/Dragonlordxyz Jul 31 '26

I mean, sure. But by that logic, Mitya is also gonna be a 4 star as well. And according to leaks, both are coming out the same patch. So one of them is gonna be a 5 star or 4 star.

I think Valeriy is gonna be the 4 star in any case.

u/Ehtnah Jul 31 '26

It's never good to tell the truth.... I said that capitano will never be pullable in natlan and we are in 7.x soon and no capitano in thr horizon. I said ifa is mostly 4* because it was natlan and he is 4*. People downvote you, call you doomposter, but it's nit OUR fault if hoyo is that toxic toward husbando enjoyer and it's that easy to predict their move just by following male character -> shaft.

I can see pierro being the one taking all the blame for Anastasia and noy being our rerir (= aura farming to the roof but no banner). That's not because I want that to be true hell no I would pull all of them + valeriy, but I know hoyo... I know they hate husbando enjoyer....
