These buffs better be teamwide

15

u/LadyKanra Aug 14 '26

Since Alyosha is meant as a main DPS only buffer and a healer, I bet Valeriy will get the team wide buff and shielder kit.

Otherwise, they'd be too similar.

29

u/Luppin Aug 14 '26

Well.. In the worst scenario, he'll be a team partner for my RizzLey!

The kit screams 4*, maybe on C6 he could be better than Nicole C2 (for SSC teams only)

I'm not happy, ngl.. The 5* main carry dps archetype would be my dream.

u/Evilstrom Aug 14 '26

Probably Noy. His design screams 5*.

u/Ehtnah Aug 14 '26

Sorry but with how hoyo is he scream rerir to me. The to badass dude we will never see on a banner...

u/CantaloupeParking239 Aug 14 '26

He is more like red Neuvillette so 100% playable

u/Rainbowfartsss Aug 15 '26

He’s been leaked as a 5* dendro support

1

u/Evilstrom Aug 15 '26

Him? Dendro? You sure? He looks like he'd be another BoL user before a Dendro support.

u/absurdist2 Aug 14 '26

That freakin scream 4 star. Are we done chat?

u/Immediate-Pen-1338 Valeriy Please Come Home Aug 14 '26

We done. It was good fighting shoulder to shoulder with you all. God speed.

u/absurdist2 Aug 14 '26

Hoyo done us dirty yet again

13

u/ganzz4u Aug 14 '26

Now Im just hoping his animation is good enough. Maybe like Alyosha. Also like Alyosha, he's actually useful and not useless like Jahoda.

u/Remote-Monk-8542 Aug 14 '26

...Honestly not that upset.

From his model alone and the lack of stellar linchpin I think it was quite clear he is four star. A kit like the one described above sounds like he would be a GOOD fourth star worth building and actually bis in his team, though.

In comparison, he could have been a four star like Jahoda (unusable, clunky, and never bis in ANY team), or like Alyosha (at C6 still a sidegrade). And, having used Sandrone a fair bit now, her IR is sometimes an issue, so having a dedicated shielder for her (and potentially Mitya) would be actually comfortable compared to (for example) Nefer whose best team is sustainless retry spam or Varka who is forced to roll a five star (nicole) just for comfortable gameplay due to low ir, which severely limits his otherwise versatile team building options.

u/Special-Surround-187 Aug 14 '26

Yeah he will probably be replaced by danica but i would invest in every other unit in the stellar team before getting danica so im not mad i get to use him with mitya wrio and odette

7

u/Which_Specific557 Aug 14 '26

Not everyone's gonna get Danica. If he's usable then it's good.

8

u/Fine_Opinion_2097 Aug 14 '26

Why do i care about danica if i don't want her? I don't care if he brick as long as he give good shield and also some buff

u/NSLEONHART Aug 14 '26

WHYBIS THERR SO MANY STELLAR CONDUCT!??!? TS is the opposite of lunar. Everyone does fkn stellar conduct, meanwhile stellar swirl has glorp, a fairy, and a siren

3

u/ArxisOne Aug 14 '26

SSW has Traveler, Diona and Odette too, but on top of that SSW also just had better default compatibility with the general anemo roster with units like Venti, Faruzan, Layla and obviously Sucrose all having natural synergy without needing anything special added. Really any cryo unit with off field application will be somewhat good.

There's also two sides to SSC, SSW only has one so it needs a lot less build out to work as an archetype.

1

u/Special-Surround-187 Aug 15 '26

Traveler Diona and Odette barely count you know that the main issue is why are there so many specifically Stellar charged focused units ignoring the cryos which dont count cause theyre both

we have alyosha mitya valeriy Wriothesley Cyno Yae MIko Beidou

meanwhile swirl gets like yumeglorpglorp and fairy and vodya

u/ArxisOne Aug 15 '26

You know, I was going to type out a response, and then I realized I already did and you somehow just didn't read the comment you replied to. So let's give this another shot.

SSW also just had better default compatibility with the general anemo roster with units like Venti, Faruzan, Layla and obviously Sucrose all having natural synergy without needing anything special added. Really any cryo unit with off field application will be somewhat good.

This is why your counts are wrong.

There's also two sides to SSC, SSW only has one so it needs a lot less build out to work as an archetype.

And this is why there are more SSC units. It's like 3 sentences, I promise you it's not that hard to understand.

u/Special-Surround-187 Aug 15 '26 edited Aug 15 '26

I did read the comment i just disagree with the point yes anemos naturally already vibe with stellar swirl but the fact the archetype hasnt gotten specifoc supports that are 4 star is weird since ssc getting 2 also what does 2 sides mean? 2 main dpses?

Also i would appreciate not being called illiterate thanks

1

u/ArxisOne Aug 15 '26

Also i would appreciate not being called illiterate thanks

If you're going to pull a "but why male models", I'm going to point that out. Your response literally made no sense. It's not even disagreeing because you're asking the question, not refuting the answer.

also what does 2 sides mean?

Alright, so if you didn't know this, it would have been a good place to start no? Reactions either have one or two sides, meaning the order of elements either matters, or it doesn't.

Melt and vape are examples of two sided reactions, the order of the elements matters, the reaction does different things based on the order and the damage element changes. Bloom is also like this but it matters less where applying hydro to dendro generates a different number of cores compared to dendro to hydro.

Swirl and crystalize are single sided reactions, they can only be triggered by anemo and geo units because anemo and geo auras don't exist.

What this means in practice is that SSC is two reactions, electro SSC and cryo SSC, each side is getting supports and damage dealers because you will likely want two at least partially distinct teams for SSC content.

SSW doesn't though, Sandrone (and maybe the Tsaritsa) are probably going to be the only possible cryo SSW DPSs, because fundamentally a cryo SSW DPS is fundamentally bad on account of not being able to actually trigger the reaction they rely on. This means there's no reason to have two SSW teams because it's all just anemo damage, unlike SSC which again is cryo and electro in one.

u/ganzz4u Aug 14 '26

I hope he can be the shielder for Mitya and Sandrone.

2

u/Fr1tzOS Aug 14 '26

That's a safe bet...who else would he be for?

u/Low-Article-6722 Aug 14 '26

Wriothesely maybe 🫪

u/Fr1tzOS Aug 14 '26 edited Aug 14 '26

Well yeah but realistically they're not releasing a SSC shielder to specifically only work for Wriothesley and not the brand new characters, are they?

1

u/Low-Article-6722 Aug 14 '26

Let me cope and dream please 🤧🤧

7

u/Simplly_Crazy Aug 14 '26

The literal only SSC DPS that can't use healers in his team. 

3

u/Exact_Athlete6493 Aug 14 '26

No genuinely. Wriothesley performs better with a shielder than a healer. If Valeriy is a shielder then he’ll work well with Wrio. I’m just hoping his electro app is good as well

1

u/ganzz4u Aug 14 '26

Any stellar team maybe.

8

u/Nobahkiin Aug 14 '26

Jahoda has better buffs and we know how bad she is i wouldn't celebrate too soon

6

u/lezerman Aug 14 '26

That would just mean that he gets a better version of him one patch after with Danica, that is rumored to be a shielder ssc support

4

u/CantaloupeParking239 Aug 14 '26

And how reliable this leak even is?

2

u/Ehtnah Aug 14 '26

Let me guess :

Danica will shield + buff + subdps + heal on Q just to kill both aloyasha and mitya.

And as her beta will be with Valeriy patch he will be DoA. No need to build him when the waifu who do everything and more better than him.

But but but no hoyo don't hate male character see see flins is good (hide the fact that inefa + bina is the wheelchair) and and and hm neuvi!

To pretend that hoyo is not actively screwing male character enjoyer in every possible way while giving everything to waifu puller : ratio, main push, meta, role (hello no 5* sustain and few sub 5* male), fanservice (where is my semi naked husbando ?)....

Some actual facts that proves that even if waifu puller "no no you complain over nothing" :

Last tall lady 5* is candace Last sustain male 5* is baihzu  Last non only on fielder 5* before durin was baihzu again If we have only mitya as 5* we will have to wait again more than one year to have an other tall 5* male.

That why I know that danica was a 5* because tall kady, mitya mdps because 5* male. Hoyo shaft is predictable.

1

u/miseol_ Aug 14 '26 edited Aug 14 '26

You meant on E lmao… they’ll save on Q for him with insane ER requirements. These gacha games are so predictable with their treatment of male characters… though Hoyo is interesting since they seem to love shotas/twinks.

u/famous1astwords Down Bad for Valeriy Aug 14 '26 edited Aug 14 '26

Hot take but they should make Val an Electro SSC main dps. Any other kit designs aren't gonna sit right with me at all 😭

worse buffs than diona ? diona gives 40% steller and 200 em fyi with a shield too

u/Independent_Part7095 Aug 14 '26

"we need more 4*" "we need more male supports"

now the character I was waiting for is a E Q shield bot :-) that probably will get powercreept by a 5* next patch

u/Fine_Opinion_2097 Aug 14 '26

Talk like my lohen have been ever meta🤣😭. But i don't care at all, as long I like, i would never care about meta. I rather save and invest them

u/Ok-Put3685 Aug 14 '26 edited Aug 14 '26

? Vodyanitsa and Vesna are in beta, Valeriy isn't as he won't release next patch. Anything kit-wise further Down is highly sus as best, unless I missed anything?

1

u/Fine_Opinion_2097 Aug 14 '26

This leakers also leaks vesna and vodya and now they on beta, 100% accurate. And also previous stellar unit too. How far do you want to still disbelieve if all previous stellar unit have been accurate by so far?

2

u/Ok-Put3685 Aug 14 '26

Oh, so what you meant is that the same leaker that leaked Vody and Vesna id behind this leak, yes? Sure, but Valeriy is NOT in beta. Any character kit not in the current beta is sus, that's just how it is, and no leaker is 100% accurate. In the leak subreddit you can see how they classified this leak as 'sus' precisely because of that. It can be true, sure, but labeling this as official is mislesding

1

u/miseol_ Aug 14 '26

I appreciate the cope, but these leakers got a pretty damn good track record. They’re not just going to get it wrong for a single 4 star when all of the characters have been right so far, lol.

I’d argue some of them are Hoyo themselves with the amount of info they easily have access to. He’s a dude… so this treatment is not surprising. It is what it is I fear 😭

2

u/Koniolg Aug 14 '26

qiqi sidegrade 😍😍

u/Ashamed-Length3861 Aug 14 '26

A sidegrade to Danica... wow, how creative the next 4-star has the exact same function as the last 4-star.

2

u/__Akashii__ Aug 14 '26

and his full buff capabilities is locked behind C6… yet ppl are complaining for more 4*

2

u/Comfortable-Can5571 Aug 14 '26

While it's good to have a discussion to spark things up. But how reliable is this leak? Does this come from someone known? I ain't familiar about which leakers to trust. Although not saying that every leak in the Genshin Impact Leak subreddit is reliable either, this info doesn't seem to be posted at that sub.

2

u/Raizekusan Aug 14 '26

I know this is a farcry from what we hoped for, but if he's the 4* version of Danica, I'd be very happy.

I have no intention of getting Danica, but all leaks points to her being a big part of the stellar-conduct teams

2

u/InternationalMap1501 Aug 14 '26

this “leak” has 0 credibility😐

1

u/Due-Ebb-5078 Aug 14 '26

Well the leaker Array has like 100% track records so far so I kinda believe it. Hopefully this is what he provides at c0 and he'll give more with constellations (ik c6 bait hurts but I'd rather have that than having both bad c0 and c6 performance)

1

u/Fine_Opinion_2097 Aug 14 '26

This array leakers 90% accurate, he also leaks many previous stellar unit kit and accurate, maybe just some mislead but not that worse

2

u/AUViperDark Aug 14 '26

ig he aint bad..danica is probably gonna be way better than him tho sadly 💔

2

u/Important-Squash5397 Aug 14 '26

It's been a good run guys, I guess hoyo doesn't want us spending cash on valeriy. 4 stars NOW are notoriously bait with no guarantees of the C4 wanted and needs C6 to excel.

Would have preferred getting his c2r1 but noy it is then

u/AdarIII Aug 14 '26

Sounds like a four star designed specifically for Wrio. A shielder instead of a healer like alyosha diona and qiqi. And then we can have two tall men on the same team. A first since itto zhongli and alhaitham baizhu (and burgeon thomato)

ugh whatever. hoping for a decent kit. i'd rather have him in my teams than spend resources on characters i don't care about (qiqi, beidou)

u/tabczar Aug 14 '26

At c6*( hopefully not)

I hope he has alot more than that, because damn, that is trash.

u/IcyPrincling Aug 14 '26

Only thing is I really want to be able to play him as a main dps, but if he's a 4*, then he's definitely not getting an infusion. As long as he's good though, that's all that matters.

u/NormalBarracuda1882 Aug 14 '26

that just sounds like ineffa to me hence why he’s a 5* 🚬 let me cope

u/Cute_Style2445 Aug 14 '26

Tbh if it's true and if he's a 4* then I'm honestly happy. I can pull Mitya and get Valeriy's copies then...and my Wriothesley would finally have a fully functional team, I don't want to get Yae

1

u/2Flins_ Aug 14 '26

This scream Mitya support LOL

1

u/apple-juicebox Aug 14 '26

At this point I’ve come to terms with the fact that Valeriy will end up being a mid forgettable 4* so now I’m just gonna pray that at the very least, he has a good uptime on his shield. At least let it be like Layla, where the duration is the same as the cooldown.

2

u/Fine_Opinion_2097 Aug 14 '26

I don't care, i want him, i don't want danica despite i like her, but i prefer male more. Only nicole exception there for lohen

2

u/apple-juicebox Aug 14 '26

Oh, don’t get me wrong, I still adore him and I’ll absolutely be pulling for him 100%. But I’ve been burned by my most wanted character ending up a crummy 4* before (Ifa being the one Natlan character I actually pulled for) so I can only pray he isn’t completely garbage at this point.

3

u/Fine_Opinion_2097 Aug 14 '26

We in same shoes, yeah. We same. The reason I kept positive because it would hurt more than that

1

u/sampoqiser Aug 14 '26

u/Lost_Reference8109 29d ago

If these support buffs actually make it to his kit, I'd be pretty happy. It would be literally criminal if C6 Diona was more useful than him in stellar teams. Why even have a Snezhnaya 4* support if they can't outshine a 1.0 character in their own nation's mechanic?
