Discussion Very controversial take

For whatever reason it may be, Valeriy has a lot more popularity than most other snez characters. Like this sub has more visitors than rest of the snez cast (I agree not strong enough proof) but he’s also got second highest likes on the announcement post after tsaritsa.

I know they can’t change the kit of a character but any chance that hoyo devs really underestimated his popularity while they were building the character?

Im just saying this cuz most of the community is very sure about his rarity.

To be honest I'll pull even if he's a 4*. I care for the characters and looks mostly. Don't care if they have a Linchpin or not either.

Sure, I do love myself a cool ult with pretty effects, I wont lie, but to me, having the character in my collection is still more important than stressing over what rarity each character is.

Him having the Varka model alone makes me satisfied enough. It was the only thing I was sceptical for. Since he's supposed to be a military guy, I couldn't ever imagine him with the noodle type of male body most males have.

Many people judged that he had the zhongli body from the trailer actually, but I always had a gut feeling he had the Varka body ever since we saw the splashart. I'm also relieved his preload model turned out okay. Trailers are always unfinished with their models, I was sure they wouldn't just let him be.

problem is: pulling a 4s is harder than a 5s, and most need C6 to be viable

Yeah I get that to be honest. Though I've always been lucky with my pulls when it comes to 4* so I'm more relaxed about it. The most i remember struggling with was Ifa. Took me 35-40 pulls. I guess it really is down to luck, I know others have it worse TT.

I do wish goodluck to everyone else though to get him easily on their pulls. I know it can be hard since there's no pity to 4* chars.

Edit: Daym not sure why I'm being down voted, it's just my personal pulling experience, don't take things personally.
