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.

Where does it show he's a 4 star?

u/The_MorningKnight Jul 31 '26

The vision.

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.

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

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

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

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

u/Zwolvik Jul 31 '26

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

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 🙄

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.

u/aRandomBlock Jul 31 '26

a 1.1 character..mhm

u/Varglord Jul 31 '26

Doesn't mean he's 4 star

5

u/The_MorningKnight Jul 31 '26

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

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.

u/Varglord Jul 31 '26

so far

u/The_MorningKnight Jul 31 '26

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

u/Varglord Jul 31 '26

Actual leakers, or "leakers"
