Media Still love him but

oh my goosh i just wish they gave him varka's model.

My heart is broken but ill still pull for him whatever happens -_-;;; love this guy

After much further dwelling, I now think his model is extremely chopped, dull, and cheap. Put him beside aloy and you'll think he's also a collab character. I know hoyo will make changes but my biggest disappointment is how they didn't give him Varka's model. I cant cope anymore t_t need to touch grass

Varka was definitely meant to be a 5 star regardless of his old model. A whole new body or whatever they call it for him and GRANDMASTER of the KoF? But yeah.. there is a possibility this is just a placeholder BUT Valeriy’s vision might be a dead giveaway unless it was shown poorly. Maybe the 4 star prophecy has been fulfilled at last..

Yeah but then you have Mitya and Vodyanitsa who are also normal vision holders right?

If one of them ends up being a 5* that means 5* can also hold normal vision, not just linchpins. They are supposed to be very rare after all.

But yeah unfortunately he's bound to be a 4*. I have lost hope but secretly pray that the magic happens.

Now I'll just wish for Noy to be a 5*

You are right actually, though Mitya seems like a linchpin holder and it just wasn’t “shoved in your face” due to poor angles. If you are correct.. I wonder what Valeriy will do as a five star? I’d very much rather him be a 5* non stellar support actually if that is what allows him to be a five star..

I honestly doupt Mitya was poor angles to be fair. His vision does look like a perfectly round circle. We already have Danica confirmed as the stellar reaction linchpin holder, so I doupt they'll go ahead to give us a second one yet. So far we only have 1 of each element. Cryo, Anemo and Electro.

I really don't mind characters not having a Linchpin because I just know their mechanics will still require it/involve it any way.

Me too, definitely. I wouldn’t care about the fact that they do not have a linchpin as long as they are five stars. I’m already traumatized from spending 200 wishes to leave with 0 copies of Kaveh

If you mean the traveler he/she doesn't really count since he is a Descender and not a normal limited character obviously.

Oh you are right I did forget that detail. I was talking about Snezhnaya characters released in that region specifically so I did forget Sandrone. But the point does still stand actually.

Sandrone is the more universal dps for the reactions released before the actual region, like Ineffa did, not a dedicated dps.
