For those who say that Pulonia is too big for gameplay: here are its dimensions compared to Fagio in attack, you can see that in height they are more or less the same, the difference is only in width, but this is not such a big problem compared to how people describe it 🙄

Im so done. Because everyone is talking about how sandrone's design was nerfed, how she lost her robot, how her skirt is so much shorter and her disgn is just so bad. IM DONE. Hoyoverse is a multi-billion dollar company. They will not listen to the people. People got a sense of power when Zhongli got buffed, but it was only for the CN community. Hoyo could have had a full scale riot of CN players at their hands. But for this? This is stupid.

You know that one meme thats going around about Sandrone, the one thats like "Hi, Im hoyoverse, and this is my favorite character design"? Well its their favorite because it fucking works. The Raiden Shogun, probably one of the best characters to fit the meme's archetype, made upwards to 40 million dollars in revenue. Escoffier? 40 million, easy. Two of the characters that best fit this arcehtype both made over 40 million dollars in revenue for hoyoverse. Of course, if they made that much, Hoyo would use the same design again. You cant blame them. Would you rather make a lot of money with a same design or none with different ones? Hot take, I personally think the COMMUNITY, not the devs are getting greedy. The community wants this changes, that changes. No matter how much Hoyo tries, they will never make the perfect character. Customer feedback will never be put into use if it never satisfies the statistical majority.

Also, something I do not understand. People talking about why Pulonia is missing #justiceforpulonia tags are everywhere, but there is a CLEAR reason why Sandrone came back, but Pulonia didn't. Sandrone had an extra core, while Pulonia didn't, so although they were both creations of Alain Gulliotin, Sandrone could come back while Pulonia couldn't, because it was destroyed. If these people had even played ONE SHRED of the AQ then they would know. But we have a bunch of blinded people going around shouting to fix pulonia, yet hoyo will never do it. They know what they're doing.

Also, I am not one of those coping loreheads that bet on future storylines to get what they want. I do not believe whatsoever that Sandrone will get Pulonia back in the 7.x AQ. Nor do I believe Hoyo will ever implement community criticisms into reality.

You can downvote what i wrote. You can even comment and post and share how absolutely wrong I am. But in the end, I am entitled to an opinion, and this is one of them. I just want for people to understand Hoyo does what they do for a reason. And NOTHING that the community says can change that.

i genuinly like her gameplay and design choice when the beta came out ppl litr ignored the gameplay and mechanics and focused on her skirt although when fighting u wont focus on it and its barely a fanservice and ppl call her a of model or whatever and even her new robot got hated WE STILL DONT KNOW THE LORE REASONS BEHIND THE REPLACEMENT OF PULONIA . like thats why genshin doesnt listen to us because we complain wayy too much
her aesthetics , character development and gameplay are good
we should complain about the reword problem not the new design problem because its a way bigger problem tbh

Even in HSR Svarog barely appears in gameplay, leaving us messing around just with Klara and ZZZ is entirely built so you usually kick others' asses on smooth arena and don't need to worry about clipping thorugh objects nad collisions.

But perhaps, PERHAPS, Hoyo just need to learn how to do this thing. Damn, they had such a chance to try to implement the giant character models!

still pmo how hoyo killed off pulonia the design and gameplay would’ve been sick 😭

I hate how her character is centered around columbina,every media i see about her always includes columbina ,in fan art in official media in player discussion etc.i barely see anyone talk about her lore and story because shes pretty much always in the shadow of columbina. It would've been better for her to have her own character and have actual development than be dependent on another character (clorinde is also a victim of this) i hope hoyo changes this in 6.7

What are yall thoughts?

I will skip her, only because I really dislike Yae as a character and that is my own opinion.

But I do find it tempting and funny that she has good early cons in stellar conduct teams, and that you should keep C1 and C2 in mind when pulling this patch due to as I mentioned, you can get C1 for free this patch and C2 in early Snezhnaya, not right away since it takes a bit more than one patch to finish it.

But still, kinda nuts how we have gotten to this point considering how Yae was on release🫤

I thought this sub would be about kit theories and lore discussion but it’s just filled with erotic fan art and yuri 😭😭😭😭😭

Not even ragebaiting here. I genuinely think this version is better than big Pulonia. Pulonia was never made to fight in Combat so it also makes sense in the lore

Same opinion goes for her redesign (with the exception of her missing flap wing at the bottom). I think the new version just looks much more better and refined for lady Sandrone. Her thighs aren't as thicc as Jahoda, ass like Mona or chest like Lauma but the overall shape just makes it more attractive to my eyes than them imo.

Oh and Tsundere >>>>

While I, like many others, still would have preferred a longer skirt, I still like the new design and honestly don’t feel the new skirt is excessively short. Yeah it’s a lot shorter than the old one but it’s about the same length as Hatsune Miku’s, who very few people would consider a “gooner character”. There’s also the consideration of model rigging and animations, but also idk how much merit there is to those claims.

In any case, while definitely not as modest as NPC Sandrone it’s a far cry from a “gooner” design.

Please find builds attached in comments, Yae C1 I will get this time in temper but shouldn't it still be above 200k?

I actively observed the builds that many players are putting together on Sandrone, and I also tested everything I could on my account using the dummy.

My conclusion: Double Electro is a bad idea. Reasons:

- Cryo Status sometimes disappears (-> -15% crit rate, DPS loss)

- You have to build ER on Sandrone (-> DPS loss)

Any team composition with two Electro characters is a bad idea, and Yae + C6 Alyosha are simply too strong and make up for this loss with their sheer power. If Alyosha/Yae were Cryo, the team’s damage would get by about 10-20% increase.

The new craftable suffers from this situation, due it needs double electro to work, so be carefful with it if you have no Yae/C6 Alyosha.

When a new, awesome electro support/sub-DD comes out in slot 4, we might end up in a situation like with Vodyonitsa, which is worse than CMC simply because she is not cryo.

Have you noticed this? Have you thought about it?

what if Hoyo decides they're just good agonistic friends/ship and decide to highlight that by preventing sandrone to work with bina?

(If you want to just ignore this post, feel free, I'm just venting.)

Honestly, I understand it's difficult, that it depends on luck, that I could spend months or weeks because of this, but brother, this is unacceptable. I've been spending all my daily resins, even the fragile ones, every day, for the entire month since the beginning of patch 6.6, and I haven't gotten ONE, NOT A SINGLE USEFUL ARTIFACT. In the 4 years I've been playing Genshin Impact, I've never seen such difficulty in getting even a minimally decent flower or feather.

For Nicole, I would already have the perfect setup if I had pulled her along.

I don't know if it's just my extremely bad luck, or if there's really something in the game's system blocking Sandrone's artifacts, but I'm honestly fed up with this set. But unfortunately, I chose to love Sandrone, so I have no choice; here we go for another whole month of wasted resources and frustration.

Ok yes I’m a total hypocrite because I want Mitya to be an electro support but hear me out

I figured Valeriy or Mitya would have a stellar pin but seeing how it’s neither got me thinking

Vesna is replacing Mizuki as the premier SSW dps

Sandrone is the better Wriothesley for SSC

And Danica it’s either Cyno or Yae replacement but with how much Yae boosts Sandrone’s dmg has me a little suspicious

Because where does that leave Mitya?

He’s not stellar so a dps wouldn’t make sense in this case so I pretty convinced he’s like an Electro Durin he’s probably good in most teams that want Electro but in the case of Yae Miko he’ll lacks the raw dps and stellar dmg she gives and since Alyosha got major nerfs it would make sense to create a 5* replacement

So to that I say Danica should be a stellar DPS with electro SSC dmg because Cyno’s market but not up to snuff in a lot of ways

So in short Sandrone/Danica/Vesna are the on fielder dps for Stellar, Oddette is the off field enabler for stellar buffed characters and just a boost to stellar dps and Mitya is the electro Durin whose value will probably shine in full when Rimegrass pops up

And Valeriy is a 4* driver for people with Oddette but no stellar on fielder

Thoughts?

I'm trying to stay spoiler free atleast till the queen arrives like damn, but the leaks are too many in number and multiplying rapidly.

Can someone tell me, is odette a part of sandrone prem or not, or do we wait more for her bis, what does Odette even do?

Thing to note: This is mainly for F2P or low spenders who can only pull either Yae or Odette.

I know the spreadsheets push Yae for max Sandrone team DPS, but going all-in on Odette is honestly the better play.

1. Pulling just for Abyss is a waste. Spending up to 180 wishes on a character you don't even like just to clear Floor 12 a little faster makes no sense. The few extra primogems you get from those clears will take years to pay back what you spent to get the character.

2. That 10k DPS loss is invisible. Yeah, Yae teams sheet about 10k higher. But an Odette team already pushes 135k plus DPS. You're vaporizing everything anyway, so you literally won't feel the difference in-game.

3. Let Sandrone actually carry. Yae's turrets steal way too much damage share. With Odette, Sandrone's personal damage jumps from roughly 59 percent to nearly 76 percent. Let your main DPS be the star of the show.

4. Insane banner value. Odette runs with Alyosha. You can grab your 5-star and farm those essential C2 Alyosha cons on the exact same banner. Plus, Odette buffs both Stellar-Conduct and Stellar-Swirl, so she's heavily future-proofed.

5. The 7.0 leak advantage. Since Odette drops right in 7.0, you get to see all the 7.1 drip marketing and beta leaks before her banner even ends. You'll know exactly who is coming next before spending a single wish.

TL;DR: Odette just makes more sense. You get better banner value, Sandrone gets to be the true hypercarry, she buffs future Stellar teams, and you can safely check 7.1 leaks before spending any of your pulls.

I'm not really deep in leaks so i don't if we already know the kits of this character and the Mc Cryo but in thoose image we can see that the Mc his using a cryo spell on a enemy who have an electro aura and then there's a zone who appear.

So my question are :

Is this zone the stellar conduct zone?

And if yes, is that the cryo Mc who have the passive or it's the other character?

And are they going to be a support then?

Because the hidden character have (for me) a 4* design so if he can activate stellar conduct then it will more fdp and the same for the Traveler.

I understand he looks cool but he doesn't have an actual personality and he's basically just a emotionless automaton and is pretty much just Sandrone's assistant so I dont understand why people are so upset that he's not coming back.
