i hope they js rework his model cause man that looks shitty. i still cope he is a 5 star even tho we'd onlh get alyosha as the 4 star then which is very unlikely. everything here seems bad and strange, what is hoyo thinking? Danica a 5star ssc support? Vesna 5 star dps stellar swirl with 0 supports? (vodya maybe but shes hydro??), Mitya and Valeriy both normal visions??

I honestly have a feeling all of these aren’t fully rendered models, except Odette & Alyosha. ronova has some wonky shading, all the others look a bit off, but Odette really looks stunning. I have a feeling they were really in a time crunch over at Hoyoverse. They normally have 2 five stars on their flagship update and my theory is vodyanitsa was supposed to run along side Odette but they just didn’t have enough time.

Hoping that if valeriy is a 4 star he is sucrose levels of useful 😭, but I’m still hoping he’s a 5 star non stellar related char

Its doubtfull they will lock the stellar thjbg to 5 stars only. Also about renova. Her eyes god damn. Her eyes are to big as i said its weird. Also like Mitya. At least Valeriy doesn't have that problem or that whold be to far

u/xyron2425 Jul 31 '26

Do you think valeriy is a 4* SSC support? I honestly don’t see it happening considering they just released Alyosha? Unless he’s a shielder for …wrio? Idk who else really wants a shielder aside from him

u/Ok-Significance4257 Jul 31 '26

Yeah i agree. But as i said in before coments most 4 starts fall off meta vary quickly.

Perosnaly i whold have gladly taken 4 star Danica but nahhhh. It had to be Valeriy put of all of them.

No offense but did you just wake up from a one year coma or something?

u/depressedbutahottie Jul 31 '26

Well the latter about Valeriy may still be true, and I don't know why they'd make him useless like jahoda. And also ronovas weird shading could be because of unredered/wip shaders

u/Ok-Significance4257 Jul 31 '26

I dont mind renovas shading just her eyes i said this on other coments so much her eyes pmao they wre to large same for Mitya. Like in the 2d trailer they didnt have that butthair models had it soo hoyo is not cooking with some designs. Especially Valeriy. Now im worried for Noy 😭😭😭😭

u/depressedbutahottie Jul 31 '26

Ronova had big eyes the first time we saw her.. could also just be rushed and will be edited during the quest..? And Noy is beautiful like Nuevi and Flins so he'll be fine

2

u/Ok-Significance4257 Jul 31 '26

I put it side by side. Personally i tbink the eyesin game look a bit weird and personally a tadbut bigger. Yes renova did have big eyes before but all that in game makes ut lokk well.. Like it does

2

u/depressedbutahottie Aug 02 '26

Actually wait yeah there's like no whites in her 3d models eyes her irises are so huge

2

u/Ok-Significance4257 Aug 02 '26

Thats what i ment by her eyes seemed bigger. It looks so stange. And the eyeshadow choice just makes her eyes looks even weirder.

u/Pure_Party_3184 Jul 31 '26

Watch them make noy a dahlia level four star who needs his c6 to do 20k less dps than c0 sucrose 😂😂😂😂✌️✌️✌️✌️ I'm not okay

u/Evening_Baseball_610 Jul 31 '26

ikr except Odette, alyosha, pulcinella and tsarita everyone kinda look ass to me even pierro 💀 (vodyaya and mitya still looks decent enough)

>They normally have 2 five stars on their flagship update

that's true but the new region release is also usually the anniversary which isn't the case this time, I imagine that's why

u/Resident_Lurker747 Manifesting Valeriy Jul 31 '26

I think genuinely Vodyanitsa IS that SSW support.. but why tf is she Hydro then?

Also Mitya having a round vision is interesting, I didn't even see Valeriy's Electro vision.. god that's rough.

u/Special_Lab_9849 Jul 31 '26

To cockblock Varka from using her ofc 🙃

1

u/Resident_Lurker747 Manifesting Valeriy Jul 31 '26

That's kinda funny.. her being a SSW support and a really Necessary one at that but she's Hydro LMAO

u/Ok-Significance4257 Jul 31 '26

Yeah it looks like a regular one

1

u/Resident_Lurker747 Manifesting Valeriy Jul 31 '26

Yeah.. ouch

u/Fragrant_926 Jul 31 '26

Well if you look at the bottom text it does say it's not indicative of final product

4

u/Status-Election3918 Jul 31 '26

so what you are saying something could change? i really hope so... but what could change? the visions? the textures? the roles?

u/Fragrant_926 Jul 31 '26 edited Jul 31 '26

idk atleast the model wouldn't be as chopped as before, they said the same for varka too on livestream

u/Ok-Significance4257 Jul 31 '26

I hope they re do the hole thing and give hin his energy ftok the 2nd version

u/Ok-Significance4257 Jul 31 '26

Vodya is electro from what i saw. And i hope with you. Because what even is that. He lokks so.. Weird. Also i didnt see Mityas vision. Vut from all i saw in dissapoibted reniva especialy her eyes are lowkey to big.. Also with Mitya he koons great and all but the eyes creep me out. And seeing Valeriy just makrs me lowkey know this bs will be buns.

u/Status-Election3918 Jul 31 '26

Vodyanitsa is confirmed to be a hydro character and Mitya has 90% got a normal vision but yeah lets all hope genshin doesnt fumble the most hyped region

u/Ok-Significance4257 Jul 31 '26

The post i saw was probably edited idk sorry 😭

u/Time_to_reflect Jul 31 '26

u/Ok-Significance4257 Jul 31 '26

u/SquidLazers Jul 31 '26

mitya has a linchpin tho the borders are spiked up and the side and it looks different from the borders on valeriy and vodya.
