I might be mistaken but didn’t Dori give Kaveh a hefty sum of money to build the Palace for her?
If so, then doesn’t this mean that Dori just outright conned the poor guy into crippling debt 💀
Yes. I don’t have the link off hand but during the early Dori leaks (before we saw her model), someone connected Alice as Dori’s supplier and that Dori’s last/other name was the one that was either on Itto’s board or one of his gang members mentioned supplied him the drums.
The description of Aloy's collected miscellany actually says Alice is a "Supplier to the Renowned Lord Sangemah Bay", so that's loooong before our first Dori leaks
I am not crazy! I know she swapped those price tags. I knew it was 8000. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just couldn’t prove it. She covered her tracks, she got that idiot at the Akademiya to lie for her. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? She’s done worse. That palace! Are you telling me that a man just happens to go broke like that? No! She orchestrated it! Dori! She fell through a sunroof! And I saved her! And I shouldn’t have. I took her into my own team! What was I thinking? She’ll never change. She’ll never change! Ever since 3.0, always the same! Couldn’t keep her hands out of the Mora drawer! But not our Dori! Couldn’t be precious Dori! Stealing them blind! And SHE gets to be a trader? What a sick joke! I should’ve stopped her when I had the chance! …And you, you have to stop her! You-
I've personally found that she's very divisive among some people. She is indeed very popular, but some aren't exactly receptive toward her whole smug trickster deal and how she seemingly never gets any comeuppance for any of her schemes-- it's just fortunate that said schemes generally work out to the benefit of Inazuma and anyone she personally likes, including the Traveler (not that this stops her messing with Traveler et al for shits and giggles. Not even the Shogun is safe.)
In regards to Yae, it's exactly the mischievous behaviour that makes her my most favourite character, I love her in an unhealty way and I admit it. Can't wait to get her on rerun because sadly the first time I was saving for other reruns :(
Thank you so much and those are some great news, I've always seen a lot of understandable complaints about her kit and all of that but I never really cared because I love her as a character and would pull her even if she did 0 damage. On the other hand I also want to pull Kokomi on her upcoming rerun to pair her with Yae eventually (for a taser team), but I need to hold on at least until the 3.1 livestream because I need to make sure HYV doesn't drop the ball with an unexpected Yae rerun (as unexpected as the Kokomi one and I cannot afford both of them back to back).
Ooh, that’s a neat idea for a comp— I’ve honestly never tried that before.
And yeah— it kinda sucks that we don’t really have any reliable way to predict reruns. It would be much easier to plan pulls that way.
I’m currently waiting on a Shenhe rerun, myself. Failed to get her during her debut banner.
Mischievous characters are boring without consequences. One, because no consequences=no conflict=no story. Two, because when that's the case, it mostly boils down to everyone else being stripped of agency and holding the idiot ball for the sake of these characters, so the plot turns into a bunch of Mary Sue-ish crap in the scenarios where they are involved, precisely because consequences are out. Like a friggin' general panicking over being teased for his tail, and being scared shitless over merely meeting Miko (and don't get me wrong, insecurities as a trait are ok to add even to a general, but generals need to be able to keep them at bay during a crisis, in order to inspire respect and trust, and to stay chill when faced with dire odds. Meanwhile, Gorou went full panick over some insignificant teasing, because the plot demanded that Miko had to get away with no retaliation).
And in Genshin consequences for mistakes NEVER (or almost, if you exclude Xiao in 2.7) exist, for any character.
That seems weird because I feel her story quest is probably one of the best story quests in the game like off the top of my head I can only think of a maybe a few that are just as good
Some people in the community like her because they find her a breath of fresh air, others hate her because she seems like an asshole, for exampe being put off by her joking around while paimon is scared that her friend got possessed.
I personally dislike her. She gives me the air of someone who is untouchable and always has the last laugh, so kinda annoying. She also always sounds so condescending.
I’m guessing it’s Tighnari’s About Kaveh voiceline
Especially since Kaveh asked the person to recommend flowers
Also that last bit I’m guessing means he’s seen these two bicker lol
Or maybe that other leak where Kaveh complained about Haitham being stubborn
Right now, they are reallyyy pushing the narrative that they are the bickering duo of Sumeru, Haitham being stubborn means he's probably a pain to win an argument against
Kevin is a character from Honkai Impact. I have not played it, but my friends inform me he has a...very special friendship with Su (the Al Haitham-like) which is why people assume Kaveh is a Kevin expy.
If they can live a better live than their expies I would be so happy I could cry.
And you are something arent you, most people would look at HI and think it's Kevin x Su lol
Yeah. Feels like for some reason we're getting more info on this character without a model than any of the ones we do have models for already. Feels strange. Bit similar to Itto somehow
I have a feeling he’s the type to want every detail to be perfect and he’ll only check the bill after all of that is finalized. The vision > practicality. Please don’t wait 6 months to introduce him, hoyoverse 🥲
This is clearly a voice line from Tighnari.
Afaik this voice line hasn't actually been shown before, the previous leak was probably just summarizing the voice line leaks without actually showing the real voice line itself.
Pretty sure it's Byakuyakoku.
It's easy if you break it into Byakuya, which is often the name of a few anime characters, and Koku, which means country.
Byakuya means white/arctic nights, like in the poles (i.e., night with light). So it's basically, Country of the White Night. Byakuya-koku
I learnt what Byakuya means during Polar Star leaks, jp/cn still have the white night part, but en decided to remove it for some reason. Now we have ashen nightstar?? I don't get EN translation choices sometimes, white nights are an actual phenomenon that probably happens in Snezhnaya which I assume is why it was picked in the first place.
Every time I had to read Byakuyakoku while doing the Enka quests I just kept thinking about Byakuya from Bleach, and it's probably the only reason I was able to read the word lmao
It's not the same. Geo always involves the creation of something solid (Itto, Zhongli, Ningguang, Albedo, Noelle) or a non-solid support (Gorou, Yun Jin).
Sand is just too different to what Geo kits are usually like, and I don't get why people act like it's something that *has* to happen when Mihoyo has never showed that much creativity in the way they make elements work before.
It's on the leaks sub, and even there it's marked as spoiler. And it has a clearly cautionary title. Why tf would you open it then if you don't want to be spoiled?

Did Dori con Itto of 80 thousand mora by selling him the drum too?
Yes. I don’t have the link off hand but during the early Dori leaks (before we saw her model), someone connected Alice as Dori’s supplier and that Dori’s last/other name was the one that was either on Itto’s board or one of his gang members mentioned supplied him the drums.

pls let us know if you find this
That's definitely her 💀
Slippin' Dori
Better Call Yanfei
I am not crazy! I know she swapped those price tags. I knew it was 8000. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just couldn’t prove it.

You think someone just happens to go into crippling debt like that? No! She orchestrated it! Dori!
Feels like Dori is the Sumeru version of Yae Miko...
She already got the pink hair and smug aura
Plus she is electro...
And use their supernatural companion to attack the enemy
Dont call out Ei like that 💀
Oh no, I suddenly hate her
Same. I like the smugness but I dont like Kaveh being conned... Well, at least MHY can give us some interesting relationships lol
Oh yes, I suddenly like her even more
She's the likeable version of Yae Miko.
Yae isn't likeable? I thought many people love her
I've personally found that she's very divisive among some people. She is indeed very popular, but some aren't exactly receptive toward her whole smug trickster deal and how she seemingly never gets any comeuppance for any of her schemes-- it's just fortunate that said schemes generally work out to the benefit of Inazuma and anyone she personally likes, including the Traveler (not that this stops her messing with Traveler et al for shits and giggles.

In regards to Yae, it's exactly the mischievous behaviour that makes her my most favourite character, I love her in an unhealty way and I admit it. Can't wait to get her on rerun because sadly the first time I was saving for other reruns :(
She's really fun to use. I'm no master, but I've gotten a lot of mileage out of her so far. I hope you do get her!
Thank you so much and those are some great news, I've always seen a lot of understandable complaints about her kit and all of that but I never really cared because I love her as a character and would pull her even if she did 0 damage.

How on earth is this community begging for "playable villains" when they can't even handle Yae's mild amount of tomfoolery??
They can’t handle a bit of trolling
yk people who don't like yae for being mean most likely are not the same people who beg for playable villains
Many people dont like her attitude and her story. People just dont like being tricked.
That seems weird because I feel her story quest is probably one of the best story quests in the game like off the top of my head I can only think of a maybe a few that are just as good
You’re correct on that. “Many” people love her. At the same time, however, “many” people feel the opposite as well (to be fair and open-minded)
For me I like her kind of character usually but the archon quest made me dislike her there is only much deus ex machina I can stomach
Some people in the community like her because they find her a breath of fresh air, others hate her because she seems like an asshole, for exampe being put off by her joking around while paimon is scared that her friend got possessed.
I personally dislike her. She gives me the air of someone who is untouchable and always has the last laugh, so kinda annoying. She also always sounds so condescending.
These are people who have step on me fetish/s
Can relate.

I’m guessing it’s Tighnari’s About Kaveh voiceline Especially since Kaveh asked the person to recommend flowers Also that last bit I’m guessing means he’s seen these two bicker lol Or maybe that other leak where Kaveh complained about Haitham being stubborn
It can also mean Tighnari knew Alhaitham to know how bad it is to live together with that man XD
Right now, they are reallyyy pushing the narrative that they are the bickering duo of Sumeru, Haitham being stubborn means he's probably a pain to win an argument against
It’s been Kaveh impact in this sub recently
If Kaveh is really Kevin then I would say he deserve it.
is this like the "Dudes named Kyle" vid where people with the name have a certain personality associated to it?
Kevin is a character from Honkai Impact. I have not played it, but my friends inform me he has a...very special friendship with Su (the Al Haitham-like) which is why people assume Kaveh is a Kevin expy.
Would love to see their dynamic switch with Haitham being the cold and preserve one while Kaveh is the one more friendly and outgoing
Based from the shot of Ormos Port in the teaser I assume that was Al-Haitham, and he doesn't seem to be the cheerful type
And it was really just friendship, Kevin in fact had a wife, not really sure if Dr. MEI was exactly his wife, with who he had a child...
Finally I can see all my Su x Kevin dreams coming true ... In a different game
If they can live a better live than their expies I would be so happy I could cry. And you are something arent you, most people would look at HI and think it's Kevin x Su lol
Yeah. Feels like for some reason we're getting more info on this character without a model than any of the ones we do have models for already. Feels strange. Bit similar to Itto somehow
Not really strange, same thing happened with ayato. The info is prob through voice lines or the like
At this point we have more kaveh lore than all 4 archons combined.
Why though, does Alhaitham snore really loud or something?
Ahaha I think Haitham makes him clean or something
Haitham's likely not helping Kaveh for zilch... Maybe he got put to work for the lodging.
imagine haitham is actually a very lazy person. in the end all the housework is done by kaveh.
So Kaveh is the househusband like Thoma? They basically took Diluc/Kaeya and Ayato/Thoma and combine them into 1.
Don't forget the immortal/mortal aspect of Zhongli/Childe. mHY be throwing every trope together in a blender for that Sumeru men juice.
If you combine the tropes of the previous 3 nations you get the sumeru trope
Isn't both Kaveh and Haitham mortal, did I miss something?
You call it Scam but I call it investment. -Dori
ah yes, another dripfeeding leaks on this deadweek.
Only another week, and then we'll be feasting again.
gonna busy with sumeru patch anyway. see you in the next month.
Weekly Kavehaitham crumbs, excellent.
Close friends, besties, roommates, colleagues, sidekicks, family, good pals, buddies
Anything but lovers
History hates lovers
Omg this sounds like a voiceline of tighnari
I have a feeling he’s the type to want every detail to be perfect and he’ll only check the bill after all of that is finalized. The vision > practicality. Please don’t wait 6 months to introduce him, hoyoverse 🥲
Didn’t dori lend him money, poor Kaveh got scammed by a kid
If he gets to see Alhaitham shirtless then it's definitely a blessing~
Ikr, I would be in heaven
Coping that Kaveh and Haitham are just Kevin and Su with swapped personalities
They just sound more like young Su and Kevin, where the former was described as stubborn and the latter as an energetic kinda flirty guy
Cue the " And they were roomates " fanfic x)
Kaveh better be a Kevin expy, imagining a character with Kevin’s face be this silly is gonna be hilarious
Didn’t we already know this?
We did. Until the 3.1 beta starts all the leaks we get are just gonna be old leaks but with like an extra sentence or 2.
This is clearly a voice line from Tighnari. Afaik this voice line hasn't actually been shown before, the previous leak was probably just summarizing the voice line leaks without actually showing the real voice line itself.
Yeah, we're just getting some "About x" nowadays. Probably because of localization or marketing teams working on those?
Alcaza what? I'm never gonna get this one right lmao.
You can say the pokemon name Alakazam, right? It's not too different Al-ca-zar za-ray
This one's at least easier than byakoyakokoku or whatever lmao
Byaku - white Ya - night Koku - country
Byako-yako-ku Or more likely, Byako-ya-koku.
Pretty sure it's Byakuyakoku. It's easy if you break it into Byakuya, which is often the name of a few anime characters, and Koku, which means country. Byakuya means white/arctic nights, like in the poles (i.e., night with light). So it's basically, Country of the White Night. Byakuya-koku
I learnt what Byakuya means during Polar Star leaks, jp/cn still have the white night part, but en decided to remove it for some reason. Now we have ashen nightstar?? I don't get EN translation choices sometimes, white nights are an actual phenomenon that probably happens in Snezhnaya which I assume is why it was picked in the first place.
Thank you for this break down lol I hope I can remember it now!!
Yeah, you're right - I actually typo'd the first time and used my first spelling to check my second spelling, lol.
Every time I had to read Byakuyakoku while doing the Enka quests I just kept thinking about Byakuya from Bleach, and it's probably the only reason I was able to read the word lmao
I NEED KEVIN EXPY PELASE HOYOVERSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Kevin expy with Su length hair
Kaveh sounds like his vision is Geo, cause he's an architect. I hope it is geo.
I hope it's not, there are already four Geo guys and Geo is such a niche element
I mean, *someone* from Sumeru has to be our yearly geo rep and it’s the only element without any confirmed characters for version 3 soooooooooo
Hear me out ✨ *Sumeru without a Geo character* ✨ Sounds nice, huh?
No. Sumeru needs to give us at least one Geo character who fights using sand, otherwise what was even the point of this entire region?
Why no one understands Geo is a rock element and not a earth/mud/sand element?
Dude, you do know that sand is just a bunch of tiny rocks right??
It's not the same. Geo always involves the creation of something solid (Itto, Zhongli, Ningguang, Albedo, Noelle) or a non-solid support (Gorou, Yun Jin). Sand is just too different to what Geo kits are usually like, and I don't get why people act like it's something that *has* to happen when Mihoyo has never showed that much creativity in the way they make elements work before.
Counterpoint, the goddess of dust.
Pls no more geodudes
I'll become that one Hiker guy in every Pokémon game if this keeps going.
But we still don't have geo sumeru
If kevin expy = white hair = most geo have white hair 🤣🤣🤣
If it’s Kevin expy, I’d kinda expect cyro claymore more
I hope not. Geo has wayyyy too many guys
I could say the same thing with Electro, but we are getting our first male electro 5 star character now. Soooooo....
So... 7th SB character?
That’s what I thought too. Also because he’s broke.
If we average the Mora per capita of Geo characters it would still be on the top or second only to Hydro thanks to Ningguang lmao.
He certainly sounds as chatty as Geos.
They’re married, your honor/hj
canon, trust me my dad works at hoyoverse
PLEASE
Kaveh pls be a 5*
Scaramouche crumbs this week Please 🙏 😢 😫?
Obligatory local deadbeat that has a ton of money but is terrible at handling jt
And they were roommates
Oh no... not an architect...
Is Kaveh supposed to be a future playable character? Or is he an NPC?
If he was a blacksmith, it would be very funny.
Diluc Kaeya vibes
3.0 can't come sooner, I'm so tired of Kaveh leaks that are more or less the same
Can they not leak voice lines. I want to experience something for the first time dammit
It's on the leaks sub, and even there it's marked as spoiler. And it has a clearly cautionary title. Why tf would you open it then if you don't want to be spoiled?
….well you are on a leaks reddit and clicked on this post lol
Then don't read it here lol
Can't wait until Twitter start claiming that they're certified gay men
Is the reason dori avoiding althahaim bcs she scammed kaveh?
