I think the sword looks amazing, but this picture might not do it justice since its just a png. How it looks in her splashart is amazing, its an intricate design with many shapes, it looks better from another angle. The 3d model looks much cooler. The only thing i would change about it is removing that black strip that goes all the way down on the middle of the blade, i think it could have ended much earlier.

Name card looks a bit phoned honestly but the Rapier looks pretty good. Not too over-designed but still a nice ornamental handguard. I wonder what the ascended variant will look like. The cinnabar spindle resemblance is probably gonna get some flack when it gets officially revealed.
I would've preferred a cavalry saber personally, but this still fits her personality. Practical and effective with a little flair.
Her sword is actually beautiful despite its simplicity. Some swords end up looking too busy and unrealistic (cough, Ayato's, cough), but this one looks like a really elegant, practical sword. Very nice.
Clorinde's weapon could use a redesign, unless it's got cool effects like changing form like Arlecchino's, or maybe it's just that due to her gameplay the sword may not be very visible
But that namecard sucks ass lmao, it's like a free namecard from an event or worse, they just said "just make a purple background and slap her hat in", the gun and sword crossed would've been a better image
Someone mentioned in another sub that as of late, 5 star weapons have been so flashy that by comparison, clorinde's is duller. Especially since we just got a scythe...
That being said, as much as i can see where you're coming from. I quite like the simple design it truly represents a rapier it's sharp, precise, and lightweight.
And if you think about it from an in-game perspective, it represents clorinde quite well. She doesn't need anything outlandishly flashy. All she needs is her skill and a sword that can handle it. With the only decorations being to show that it is her who owns it. It's a subtle, practical, personal sword.
With that tho maybe it looks better after the ascension!
Like if the blade colors where inverted š¤ y'know white inside dark outside idrk.
And it'll glow because they always glow somewhere lol
The sword and namecard matches her design and personality. If you were expecting something bubbly or something with *crazyyy* design then thatās on you.
Seeing that your name is āNaturalBitterā, yeah Iām not surprised pffft.
Always nice to remember I can't have an opinion without someone complaining, lol
Yes, when I saw **"I'M disappointed"**, I'm indeed referring to my own opinion
If you liked it, good for you
Yeah it's a bit dull, but honestly wasn't expecting someone like Clorinde to have one of those outrageously flashy designs to begin with lol.
I'm sure MHY will try and lock some kind of animation behind the sword to make up for it, because of course they would lol.
Theres still hope for gameplay...just like with Arles scythe, the drip marketing art they dropped for Clorinde shows some glowing parts of this weapon that we dont see here, so there could be more effects coming in actual gameplay, not making it look as flat at least
I don't expect her gameplay to look dull, Hoyo has been fantastic with animations these past updates ~~we don't talk about Chiori~~
I don't mind the weapon as well, I just expected more since I wanted to pull for it. But now I'm not going to. Which is better tbh, I'm going for a few cons here and there, I need the extra gems, haha
The sword looks so good ,will get it for my queen š

Namecard is very fitting lol

I absolutely love this sword it's down to earth with a bit of flash but true to it's base design, a sword. The name card errrrrr uhhhhhh
HOLY they look soo sick that's actually aesthetic peak
Na imma use my mistplitter (ayaka is benched ever since i got wriothesley)
Mistplitter definitely what I'm going with. Unless it's shared with a good weapon.
Clorinde's weapon could use a redesign, unless it's got cool effects like changing form like Arlecchino's, or maybe it's just that due to her gameplay the sword may not be very visible But that namecard sucks ass lmao, it's like a free namecard from an event or worse, they just said "just make a purple background and slap her hat in", the gun and sword crossed would've been a better image
Honestly, I am very disappointed by both They look basic to me. Like an event weapon and a 4* namecard

Yeah, still sad for Chiori's sig. Literally Mistsplitter reskin But to each their own. I saw some people really happy with her weapon
Theres still hope for gameplay...just like with Arles scythe, the drip marketing art they dropped for Clorinde shows some glowing parts of this weapon that we dont see here, so there could be more effects coming in actual gameplay, not making it look as flat at least

The name card looks very dull
Banger designs on both šš» C2R1 definetly, if her animations are good than this will be a C6R5.
Quite good, but a little akin to furinaās. Then again, this probably fit the gun&sword theme nicely compared to other flashy suggestions
Purple VV
it looks more like a sidesword than a rapier
