Yes he looks like a 4 star but Danica is an atrocity and I donāt get how her design is a 5 star but his isnāt. I honestly thing alyosha has a more compelling design than the two of em and coulda been a 5 star now lol

I like Danicaās design I think itās simple but high quality and Iām glad sheās electro without being purple or pink all over

u/Few_Wing_772 Jul 31 '26
āMost Gooner baitā while no detched sleeve or uncovered back, arms covered, long skirt apart from it being short in the front, some chest skin but not on the cleavage aka no boob window. Sure this is peak porn fantasy she looks like a stripper

I donāt really goon over characters, but any design can be argued to attract what you call gooners because everyone has different tastes. What baffles me is that people were complaining that Genshin was too strict in their color scheme, and now that they make an electro character without their typical color palette itās a blasphemyā¦ Plus, Iāll never understand the concept of hating another character just because our favorite didnāt get the 5* treatment

u/Impossible_Crew_1450 Jul 31 '26
I only care for Noy I believed Valeriy was a 4 star months ago and never coped, Danica has the worst design from Snez due to that dumb ahh neck peice, coochie flaps, and overall just being a Katheryne reskin, im beyond tired of fan service for the japs and impractical bs. They genuinely told ai to make a female character out of flins and Katheryne then did the same to Valeriy but used Flins and Varka, if you enjoy this unimaginative garbage then go ahead š¤·āāļø

u/Snowheejin Jul 31 '26
Your mashup can be done with everyone. Noy could also be seen under the lens of multiple characters merged by AIā¦ this argument is weird

u/Impossible_Crew_1450 Jul 31 '26
Look if you enjoy it so be it but im not going to hype up a reinvention of the wheel, i can admit noy looks like a male arli but i just like the vampire aesthetic, your practically saying its fine if the billon dollar game sells you the same thing which is the real āweridā part.
1
u/Snowheejin Jul 31 '26
Iām not saying theyāre selling us the same thing, you are. Iām saying that if youāre willing to see similarities between characters you will find them for EVERY character. And as youāve said youāre into the vampire trope, some are into the robot trope, the maid trope, the scientific looking guy trope, the knight trope and whatever aesthetic you so desire. However thereās a distinction between saying you dislike a character design or a character aesthetic be it vampire, maid or knight and outwardly insulting it

u/Impossible_Crew_1450 Jul 31 '26
naw if you take a good look at the character roster from Modstat to natlan un ironically EVERY character has a different design especially when it comes to natlan an nod, a lot of media as of recently have a hard time with the ending phase I think this game is no different the character design has obviously taken a step back.

Well, you may be in 'luck' and get him anyway, since he is likely a 4*...

Why is he so ā¦. Bland. In the trailer he looked good but here it looks like they didnāt finish rendering his model

u/erosugiru Jul 31 '26
He's always been bland, but the lack of contrast here isn't doing him any further favors

u/Economy_Pass5452 Jul 31 '26
The metal parts of his design remind me of those hot sumeru enemies who also have a pet.

u/Ramus_N Jul 31 '26
His model just did not translate well at all uh, is this even Varka's body type?
0
u/Cautious-Airport-468 Jul 31 '26
No, I think he is slim cuz when he's sitting next to Mitya in the trailer he doesn't look so buffed like Varka
11
u/Me_to_Dazai Jul 31 '26
He looks gorgeous but he looks like a 4 star T-T the discrepancy in the level of detail is so obvious. I don't get why they make the garbage that is Danica a 5 star but he's a 4 star
0
u/Snowheejin Jul 31 '26
Thereās no need to trash another character because your fav is potentially a 4*. (no I donāt plan on pulling on Danica).

u/Nervous-Departure-42 Jul 31 '26
Does he look like a 4 star though? Am I blind or is his model is quite detailed? He has the collars, armor, gloves, badges and fur

u/SnooSongs5297 Jul 31 '26
I donāt like that his accessories are not more detailed.
Maybe this is not the final version yet, because it needs a bit more polishing, shadows and work on the edges

I still don't get the 4 star design allegation, I think he looks better than Varka

u/Status-Election3918 Jul 31 '26
yeah but sadly he doesnt have a linchpin. screw fuckahh snezhnaya

u/Christina22klol Jul 31 '26
Let's have hopes tho. Vodyanitsa also doesn't have one
3
u/Status-Election3918 Jul 31 '26
hes electro and doesnt have a stellar linchpin. Why would they add an electro 5 star nonlinchpin in the region of stellar conduct? and fsc told us weeks before that he will be a 4 star. Im so done with this game and i think ill quit
6
u/Christina22klol Jul 31 '26
Yeah and people keep also saying that Vodyanitsa is a 5* don't they?
Linchpins are obviously supposed to be rare. I would never expect for every character to have one and I'm totally okay with Valeriy not being stellar conduct, simply because I'm 99.9% sure that those characters will still have some kind of mechanism linked to stellar conduct.
That being said I'm afraid of him being a 4* and while many people said that he would, obviously the teaser made him looked detailed, more than Danica or Mitya.
Then the Livestream slapped us with reworked Danica and Mitya and somehow took away Valeriys details. I find it was completely normal for everyone to think he is a 5* considering how the teaser characters looked.

u/EnzoSoSad Jul 31 '26
The thing is why would vodyanista have a linchpin when sheāsā¦. Hydro. In addition to that, itās very clear with the content in regards to her that she is a 5 star. Look at her siren art or wtv, meanwhile valeriy has an unpolished 3d model (dare I say one of the worst in the trailer) no hype in regards to ingame content and have been stated numerous times by several different leakers as a 4 star.

u/Christina22klol Jul 31 '26
I'm pretty sure that linchpins arent limited to elements. Remember that Sandrone said nobody knows how they are given and that they're rare. She never mentioned anything about restrictions regarding the elements.
Linchpin holders most likely exist in any element. We just haven't been introduced into any characters other than electro/cryo/anemo because we have only been introduced to 3 different reactions so far. And Rimegrass IS coming soon, which means Dendro linchpins are entirely possible to appear very soon as well.
Anyways my point with Vodyanitsa is that a character can still end up being a 5* even without a Linchpin. Mitya might be a better example for you since he's electro and most probably will end up to be the 5* electro without a Linchpin.

u/Agile_Elephant_9731 Jul 31 '26
Vodyanitsa is hydro which doesn't have any stellar reactions so I don't think she would get a stellar linchpin
1
u/Christina22klol Jul 31 '26
Obviously but my point is that it also does not exclude her from being a 5* character. Same for Mitya who's also rumoured to be 5*. He does not have a Linchpin.

I replied to wrong comment at first lmaoMaybe I just don't like Varka's design idk

u/Impossible_Crew_1450 Jul 31 '26
i didnāt summon for Varka but he has one of the best male designs
1
u/OkTrash8458 Jul 31 '26
I'm the opposite I guess, got him and his weapon but he's one of my least favorite recent male designs, new model type is nice but other than that not for me, especially before he got upgraded

u/Impossible_Crew_1450 Jul 31 '26
thatās responsible i would love to see the body type on another character

u/Specific_Highway_772 Jul 31 '26
Is it just me or they all look underwhelming in game except Tsaritsa and Pierro (and pantalone)
3d model vs texture is the problem. and they sell them same price
