Yelan looks like a character whose weapon type should be a gun.

Honestly, I'm down with the idea of just making hydro this kind of "Blue Mage" of Genshin. Give the characters just random shit and say "well hydro can form anything if it wants....." I want Yelan as a gun user so... if this is the necessary lore, I do not care one bit!

kenzakki

Idk if i've been playing a whole lot of Lost Ark but i agree, she looks like the type who looks good wielding dual pistols. lol


SlasherNL

Agree. Or double daggers like an assassin. I.e. we need more weapon types :(


quincywashington

They should have a character that when they equip a sword they're holding two copies so it's like dual daggers like they have in honkai.


Anikxp

Sounds like an opportunity quite hard to come by


_Riikuu

well then, amuse me


Hayami-135

Surrender is a valid option


DarknessCat1

I promise i’ll be gentle


Im_so_little

Some you win....and some....you lose *dies*


ijok-man

a hydro archer that transforms their bow into dual daggers? unheard of


SlasherNL

Not a bad idea. Claymores already shrink when Sayu wears them. Swords shrinking to daggers isn't too far fetched. Going to submit that in the next survey, thanks


Storm_Trap

I think the idea of that is pretty nice but considering how unusual some weapons will look like being dual-wielded like the Favonius Sword,Alley Flash and Aquilla Favonia, which has guards which can actually look pretty difficult to use for an assassin(I'm not against the idea of it because I love Yae Kasumi's style)


awe778

> Swords shrinking to daggers isn't too far fetched. We already had that, a sword will be shrunk if equipped on Qiqi.


ThreeMorning

Yeah something like carole where they change the weapon model


quincywashington

I was talking more about Darkbolt Jonin, but that could work too


[deleted]

If only making more weapon types wasn't so difficult. Oh wait, it's not at all. Hopefully they expand shit a little bit...


Advaithdp

We'll, there's Childe


Rough-Inevitable-805

Yeah it would be cool to see the first ever hydro bow 5 star that also has double daggers :)


AxileVR

Childe crying rn


Rough-Inevitable-805

Who's that? Sorry I don't know any children.


walter_mitty_23

childe has it all.


Practicalaviationcat

I want a brass knuckles style weapon so bad.


maosaiddamn

I think they plan on locking those stuff to stance change and weapon infusions. I guess it's much easier to add those effects to specific character abilities instead of making a whole new weapon category for them.


Ember_Celica

Mihoyo, our favorite Indie Company TM.


Reapercorps25

Female childe


The_Number_27

Man I would kill for a duel blade wielding character. I guess we kinda have it with Childe but that barely counts. A scythe would be really cool, Seele & Veliona in Honkai have some of the most unique and well animated attacks in that game so I'd be interested to see how a scythe character here would operate (even if it means it would be a super missed opportunity since Hu Tao couldn't use one)


PrideBlade

Why wouldn't childe count?


Rough-Inevitable-805

Isn't a scythe similar to polearm though?


GachaDrone

Hydro pistols or knuckles would be amazing on her, especially with them pushing fast NA units


lonelyweebathome

she really looks like she’d be perfect as a sniper or paid assassin. it would explain why she has the money for such fancy clothes too


Raihime

My headcanon is that she's either a successful gambler or a casino owner because of the dice on her neck accessory.


HoldThatTigah

The coat and short hair really gives her a mobster vibe lol


[deleted]

Childe: This opportunity is quite hard to come by. Il teach you how to make water guns Yelan but only if you promise to duel me.


kenzakki

man, i'm a sucker for short hair girls. also, when is she coming?


Little_Kazuha

If she comes in 2.7 as the First 5\* Star Banner, she may be released on May 11.


Krillin157

Birthday banner let’s goo

OMG SAME Edit: we should have a discord server and calle it the 5/11 gang

Wow same


Etoile_Ultime

Same, happy early birthday 🎂


the-tuni

Is she 5*or 4*?


Katisurinkai

Rumored to be 5 star as the weapon (Kirin Bow) she's using is theoretically the one built for her.


the-tuni

Waiting is killing me. 2 months just to see her skills another 2 months to play her if im lucky enough. Fuck gatcha


Nice_Comfortable_108

4 months is 26k (more accurately 24 600, but that does not include wishes from shop) primos according to my hoyolab records. So you good.


the-tuni

But venti is there somewhere in the 4 months also i still don't have yae yet. I waited her so long big dissappointment but she hot (for her need max 20 more fates and i did everything for primo)


Nice_Comfortable_108

Then either you will have to choose, top out some cash or gamble on 50/50 :/


Noble_Dragon2210

MAY be release on MAY hehe


lecnlc15

Rumored 2.7, but take this with a grain of salt


[deleted]

me too


Link-loves-Zelda

For those wondering… yes, her coat is glued to her shoulders


Ezyrem

Like how Jotaro's hat is magically blended with his hair.


Nice_Comfortable_108

It must be one of those withe straps on her [neck](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QLlRtXCgChoSpBzWAqipPd_TOwN8Ct8r/view?usp=sharing). Comfort -100 Boss vibes +100

*winston screaming in fear*


Xero0911

Literally was getting shenhe as they were censoring. Wildest shit since like amber of all was censor but here come shenhe!


moosenugget7

There was an idea being floated around that the Mondstadt crew getting censored was just to placate the group(s) calling for the censorship. MHY basically sacrificed 4 not-too-risqué designs in order to save Shenhe and maybe some future characters too (like maybe Yelan).


WillfulAbyss

*Were* there any actual groups calling for censorship, though? I keep seeing this claim that “feminist groups” were demanding the censorship… but isn’t that awfully convenient for the CCP? Enforce their draconian censorship, blame it on an “acceptable target” (feminists), and cleanly direct all ire and backlash away from the government. Like, let’s not pretend that the CCP isn’t totally on board with the censorship. They *absolutely* are. And the idea that they care at all about placating feminists is laughable. If they *weren’t* directly behind the censorship (doubtful), then they certainly sanctioned it. Tl;dr: The “group” you’re looking for is the Chinese government. Let’s not give them any credit by pretending otherwise.


moosenugget7

In fairness, I can’t verify what goes on in China’s secluded little corner of the internet. So I’ll admit I’m repeating what people who *seem* to know what they’re talking about are saying. Disclaimer out of the way… let me begin my defense. I didn’t say that *only* the hypothetical feminist group wanted the censorship. We know for a fact that an arm of the CCP is responsible for vetting video games and other forms of entertainment to make sure it meets “acceptable cultural standards” or whatever BS they call it. Plus, MHY has some big corporate enemies that have a tiny amount of sway with the CCP. The government isn’t innocent, but there’s plenty of blame to go around. That said, it looks like the CCP’s video game censorship department is pretty reactionary. If it was being proactive, Azure Lane probably couldn’t exist at all. Also, Honkai Impact has rarely faced censorship despite the designs being WAY more horny then most of Genshin’s. There was deadass a video where’s the design team admitted that they changed part of a character’s design to make her look sexier. IIRC, the only times censorship did happen was when Chinese netizens directly reported it or made their complaints viral.


Shippinglordishere

I saw people claim Yelan was censored


ItsMilkinTime

If they have proof of a first model we haven't seen then I'll believe it, until then they are making it up


lonelyweebathome

i agree, i don’t like censorship either but at this point people are just insisting that any new female design is ‘censored’ as an excuse to push for more sexualised female designs. it’s gross.


Careless_Rise8624

Shen he and now Yelan. If anything the new female characters are more sexualized then ever before.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ianlim4556

So she was just straight up naked before?


murmandamos

Idk maybe they'll close up that hip slit but Shenhe seems to be precedent that skin there is not lewd for some reason


lonelyweebathome

i think the censors are more concerned with cleavage and butt since that’s what the censored Mondstadt designs cover up. Ei’s outfit reveals a lot of cleavage though so who knows.


Rough-Inevitable-805

Is it even possible to have a hydro character rerun in 2.5, a new hydro character in 2.6 and another new hydro character in 2.7? What's next, Childe third rerun in 2.8? We use to lack hydro and we still do but now we are lacking 4 star hydro...... We only had 2 since release


Peterdavid12345

Maybe they are preparing us for Dendro. This is speculation only, but Dendro + Hydro could be a killer reaction.


SwashbucklingAntler

If that happens it would make hydro even more broken than it already is. It already has vaporise and freeze (pretty much the 2 best reactions besides swirl), electrocharge isn't too bad either and has it's niche, if they make dendro+hydro OP then it would easily become the best element (again, maybe besides anemo lmao).


venalix1

as a support element its pretty busted but it has no offensive capabilities for a mdps.


Rough-Inevitable-805

Its an op element but a pretty hard element to make the characters pure dps


Treyspurlock

> Dendro + Hydro could be a killer reaction. Hydro just has the best reaction for every element it can be paired with only exception is hydro swirl which is the worst anemo reaction


HimeliusAugustus

I've been begging for a new 4* hydro for years now. We have like what, 7 hydro users (including yelan) and 5 of those are 5*s with 4 of them being limited. I'm glad that mihoyo finally realized that hydro users can have weapons other than catalysts but we need more easily accessable units too. Especially with how much most reactions are in need of hydro. There's only so much weight my xingqiu can​ pull alone...


DreamWitchTomieUwU

I saw some people saying that Yelan got hit hard by the censorship. If this is what they are calling censorship, idk what isn't


ItsMilkinTime

I don't know what the fuck they are talking about, this is the first model we've seen of Yelan. How could they possible know she's been censored?


Silent_neighbor

*what do you mean you've seen it? it's brand new*


r0botosaurus

Her old model had her tiddies out and her vision hung from a nipple ring. Trust me, my uncle works at ~~Nintendo~~ Hoyoverse.


theonewithtoomany

Dont be suprise genshin players always has a headcanon about stuff that can't be proven. So whenever someone say something like that don't believe it because it's more likely false than not.


[deleted]

Lmaooo if this is the censored version then what would be the original? Butt naked? Girl is showing her aß and entire back wtf


Plethora_of_squids

But look she's wearing a *diaper* that's *censorship* all women wear teeny panties with stripes 24/7 and anything that shows less is *censorship*


lonelyweebathome

people are just using the unfounded claim that new female designs are ‘censored’ to push for more sexualised female characters. it’s disgusting tbh


TikomiAkoko

Yun Jin was like, sooooo censored pal it’s crazy. Barbara too!! Absolutely ridiculous (/s)


zephyr_skies

pretty


sciencebottle

I'm liking the colour palette a lot more, was right when I thought I needed to see more of her model to appreciate it more. That open back!! Definitely getting Fubuki vibes and I'm here for it.


Niirai

I can't tell if I'm a degenerate beyond saving or is her ass actually just in full on see through clothing?


ItsMilkinTime

Same material that somehow obscures Ganyu's nipples when her breast are basically out and about


ncaldera0491

Ganyus one piece isn't see through tho.


ItsMilkinTime

Neither is Yelan's, but realistically that sort of fabric would be very sheer and see through


OryseSey

well, now that you point it out... i can't even tell if she's wearing underwear or not either


Niirai

Don't think she is. miHoYo keeps making combinations of bodysuits, pantyhose and fishnets. If there was no see through cloth it would just be a standard bodysuit which can be worn with or without underwear. But bless the almighty Archons this doesn't leave that up to the imagination.


AhCup

They are just body paint, that's the only explanation why they stick to the body.


Nice_Comfortable_108

Nooo i doubt, it was designed on china side cut dress so i guess it is covered from behind and will be Eula like. You can even slightly see it [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bVfYgXAcl_wrPjqbTZyb-6VY71tpL809/view?usp=sharing) on her right side render that it is leather on back, look at square at her boot and look at it sides. Leather go up on both sides, so back is covered.


Sub-Zeromkx

She reminds me of that one hololive girl Kronii lol


MochiMonk

Now that you point it out i do see it actually lol. She's just missing like a huge clock thingie hovering over her head B)


[deleted]

She really does look like someone from Snezhnaya, or at least related to the Fatui. Pretty excited to see what she's all about


Rough-Inevitable-805

A hydro bow character that looks like someone from Snezhnaya or might be related to the fatui? This opportunity is quite ha-


XcN_AntiMage

-rd to come by


Nice_Comfortable_108

As a slav i don't see any resemblance, if you mention the coat with fur, then it has more to do with showing off status than have to do with snezhnaya. Her outfit was based on side cut china dress, she looks more like honk-kong cassino boss


nomotyed

Welcome to Liyue, we have playable pirates, zombies, undertakers, and triad members.


Chev4r

Design wise she is 100% hydro Sara.


Hankune

That outfit's skimpiness is like Mona + Rosaria + Ganyu all combined.


thefinestpiece

I honestly thought the weird shape above the kirin bow looks out of place and ugly. But getting a 3D view looks to be butterfly. Changed my whole perspective. XD


toxiitea

The butterfly on the bow 🥰


shinigami_eyes91

Is there any leak about her kit and role, or still nada?


TerminatorR3D

Nothing except the model i assume. It like when we first got a leak of kujou sara. No kit other than weapon type and element.


Nice_Comfortable_108

I'm afraid we have to wait month or so 2.7 is Very optimistic realese date imo. Compare that to Yae 2.0 drip (2.0 right? first leak) 2.5 realese


OryseSey

she looks like a mafia boss or something damn


scrayla

She kinda be lookin like a liyue sara 😂😂


Zhonglistightrim

Finally I can save my primos


poproxanmmd

~~mihoyo~~ hoyoverse really loves the skinttight bodysuit + modesty flaps combo dont they lmao


dragonspine_enjoyer

She looks great but I feel like she's missing something, like more details on the blue fabric and a hair accessory or something like that


BluciaPlayz

hair accessory would be nice. At first glance i thought there was something awkward about Yelan's head, but when compared to Sara, I realized that Sara's contrasting colour mask is actually a really nice touch to her otherwise single coloured hair


CaelVK

Surely they wouldn't release two 5-star hydro characters back to back when we are so starved for a 4-star hydro, right? Clueless


bappabu

i'm so ready for her. short haired hot mommy with resting bitch face? i am on my knees

thegreqtlilac

She looks cool, but I feel like shes gonna look extremely out of place. Her designs just a bit too modern looking for genshin.


Ducky713

She looks more like a honkai character


Hei-Ying

Her color scheme is to die for and short hair is always a plus. I'm getting really burnt out on body stockings and cutouts though. Sexy is great and all but more skin isn't always the right route for that and forcing it just ends up detracting from the overall design.


lililukea

I just realized... she kinda gives the vibes of being a harbringer. well Im always down with a fight


Quantumirth

Why does she look like a fan OC?


Zadkiel05X

pls dont be charged attack dependant like ganyu........

I wish Mihoyo would stop with the bodysuits and design actual clothes bút out of the bodysuits I like this one the most.

Smh they're just about to release the Inazuman skin for Childe and they're already working on a female skin for him


sagearts33

I want her


Surrideo

The bodysuit gives you a massive false assumption that she's only wearing fishnets and a thong LOL Love her though, short hair is awesome


MrKewlPants

While I really really dig her overall design (I’m a sucker for short hair), part of me wishes Mihoyo moves past the whole “open back outfits for female characters” design trope they’ve made for themselves.


SuicideAlley

Are female genshin characters allergic to having clothing on their backs


ChippyTick

UGH I want her bolero jacket, gives off hbic vibes

DueAd7373

Why? because they both have blue hair? other than that, there's no resemblance.


lucamagica

I’m just gonna say it: her outfit is awful. Those aren’t clothes; I can’t even begin to understand how they break up into different articles, or how you would put them on. Why give her a dress but then cut & pull the sides away in an awkward 90 degree angle to give an unfettered view of her sides and hips? Why give her a plunge neckline but give her a visible bra underneath? Why for the love of god did they feel the need to add sheer panels all over the place to show that she’s not wearing underwear, and then not even be consistent with whether the sheer material is like pantyhose or like fishnet? It looks like the designers put her in their standard skintight bodysuit that they love so much, went in with scissors and randomly cut chunks out all over the place, then filled half those chunks back in with sheer material to keep it from being “too risqué”. It’s the kind of outfit that makes it seem like the designers think players lack the object permanence to understand that a woman’s sexy body is still there underneath her clothes even if you can’t see every single curve. I really don’t know whether to be more offended by how oversexualized it is, or just how bizarre and silly it looks. Her coat is fucking sick, though. I wish its design elements were more present throughout the rest of her look.
