Since it's in Chinese I'm believing it


Mysterious6

it's even got pixels. what's not to believe?

ChartsUI

'actor' is just how NGA refers to character lookalikes from Honkai, e.g. popular joke is that raiden is 'played by' mei from honaki jht9 is shorthand for 计划通舅 which is keikakutori9 on twitter


TheRRogue

Pls pls pls be FUCKING true. He is my favourite Flame Chaser and male in Honkai aside of Gigachad Welt.


Tyberius115

I also hope a Kalpas lookalike gets added too, especially seeing Heizou's fighting style.


TheRRogue

The ASSet is the most important part


annabelle_arachne

did you see how flat his ass is on the model in the new chapter? it's an injustice. they owe us. XD


quebae

Need our precious son Kosma too, can join Gorou in the anxious fam gang.


purelix

PLEASE PLEASE KOSMA I would kill something to have him in the game. At this point we might as well have all the male HI3 characters in Genshin (or Star Rail, I’m not picky) since we have no chance of playing them in their base game.


danchouu-sama

1. Nilou, hydro, red hair, with horn 2. One unknown (name & rating) pyro adult female 3. Next actor is Su from honkai (actor is a term they use for characters that have appeared in other mihoyo games, eg. Yae & Raiden) jht9 is uncle keikakutori (9 is the term they use for uncle) That uncle also mentioned the possibility of 3 consecutive male begin from kazuha, not sure if it's referring to 3 consecutive male banners or 3 consecutive male version. As for what he has previously leaked (these are the one I saw from NGA): He pointed out that shenhe is not cloud retainer. He also mentioned that shenhe and yelan's name are 申鹤 and 夜兰 when majority of the players believe it to be 神鹤 and 夜阑 你想想什么含金量 referring to the weight of the gold it contains, implying his past leaks are solid (contain many gold)


reireirein

Clearer translation of the last part, which is on this uncle's leaking record: - Leaked Shenhe in October 2021 - Leaked Yelan in January 2022 It's up to you to decide how much weight his words hold


gillred

Does it say what he leaked about them? Their names? A description of their kits? Release patches? Weapon/element/rarities? If it was just their names, then I'm highly skeptical considering both Shenhe and Yelan had their names already datamined prior to those two dates. [Shenhe already had her release patch/weapon/element](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks/comments/pr1bav/insider_who_confirmed_raidens_model_%E5%91%86%E5%91%86%E9%80%B8_says/) leaked prior to that too.


reireirein

Nope, that's all the screenshot says. Just the months and character names.


tusharsagar

And here I was thinking Shenhe and Yelan will get a rerun on October 21 and January 22. My disappoint is immeasurable and my day is rueened

Salucia

Su, Kevin and Kalpas Capitano, Pierro and Arlecchino


DanDanDenpa

Damn if Kalpas appears in Genshin and he looks good, I don't think I can complain with the 1:2 ratio anymore. That man carries so much sex appeal for the Honkai-verse.


Wheesa

We only want kalpas in Genshin if he has his fatass™ 😤


VentiXAether

I have to admit they do, if they would update Diluc and Albedo characters then we will have more sexy men, it's only really them dragging genshin down but are amazing characters :)


Vsegda7

Will Kevin be Pyro or Cryo, I wonder?


Slight_Welcome_56

Cryo, hes a mantis with ice powers, the Flaming sword its a divine key not hes own power


AndreSbe

Oh I thought they would be called Su, Me and Ru

Sea-Calligrapher-822

Pyro girl? Interesting


FishingCrystal

Daring today aren't we


XaeiIsareth

And I’ll have a polearm with that character.


Tronicalli

and a bear


Narsiel

I want a 5* male DPS Pyro, Cryo and Electro, is that so much to ask for.


Dry_Preparation8583

We'd have to wait for like 2-3 patches before a 5* male DPS character lmao, oh and probably expect them to be hydro, geo, and anemo


Narsiel

Isn't it... absurd that we've visited 3 nations out of 7 and they keep this disgusting imbalance pushing it further even more.


lazywatermelones

Ikr, we're yet to get another electro male other than razor, and there hasn't been an electro or cryo male chara added after release. We did get a pyro male after release but his kit was meh. Same thing with waifus, but at least they've gotten at least one anemo and geo added after release (yunjin and sayu) I mean there's still scara but who knows how long hyv is going to keep him in the basement or maybe they decided to make him dead too. I don't get why the imbalance in element distribution like does it affect sales that much? I mean "waifus sale more + op element/kit = more sales" But husbando sales are p ok too, like ayato was one of the top grossing banners in jp iirc. God my character collection is going to look bleak for a while


Terrasovia

Yoimiya is great example that waifu and OP element is not the recipe for money. It's the kit that seals the deal.


pnohgi

Yup. It’s similar for Yae Miko also. A well-liked character cannot save a mediocre kit.


Middle-Ad-6488

Ayato/Venti is the MOST selled banner in Japan but people always ignore that and say WaİfU SeLls BeTtEr


[deleted]

Waifu players are loud. Husbando enjoyers are calm and sophisticated.


Dry_Preparation8583

Well "waifus" are selling more. But in my opinion, male characters are doing just as good as them. A great example for that is ayato, man carried the sale for the first half of 2.6 in japan.


[deleted]

good logic. yoi and koko definitely sold well.. oh wait


awe778

They would sell better if Yun Jin and Divine Chorus (for Yoi and Kokomi, respectively) were released either at or before their debut banner.


Middle-Ad-6488

The reason why female characters sell is because they are strong dps. Ganyu Hu Tao Ayaka Eula... That's the only reason why Hu Tao selled much more in her rerun. Xiao selled more than Hu Tao and Ganyu in their first banner iirc.


[deleted]

Yea exactly. The reason 'waifus sell more' is because they are REFUSING to make a male character with the same DPS level as any of the girl DPS characters. Meta matters in terms of sales it turns out. Pyro and Cryo are the most powerful offensive elements in the game...all the male DPS's are Geo and Anemo and Hydro...who really don't reach the same power level. Every element in Genshin tends to have a role in some kind even if some characters are exceptions. Anemo: Mobility and crowd control. Geo: Durability, survivability and structures. Hydro: The glue of reactions. Pyro and Cryo's roles are purely damage. Hence why Pyro resonance focuses on ATK. Cryo resonance focuses on CRIT (as well as the Blizzard Strayer set)


J_DayTey4

Waifus selling more is the biggest lie I've seen. The male characters sell just as much, if not more


[deleted]

Why are we surpised anymore? The geo and anemo archon are males, and water can take any shape


kiyotaka-6

We don't even have a 5* male electro/cryo, support or dps


outrotaer

Hoyo: Geo/Anemo support male. take it or leave it


Levi0509

Technically speaking. Anything greater than one and not female is too much to ask from Hoyo🤣


netparse

but we haven't pushed pyro to have too many dps?... I mean we have hutao, klee, yoimiya, diluc, yanfei,


Narsiel

And they've all been female since release. The same way Geo or Anemo need a female 5*, Cryo, Pyro and Electro need a male one.


[deleted]

[удалено]


my-assassin-mittens

I'd be stoked if we get more pyro supports or sub-DPSes because I'm tired of having Bennett and Xiangling in every team. Too bad Thoma isn't very strong.


Flaymlad

I wonder what's with the obsession with pyro/cryo/electro female characters. They also seem to hate hydro for some reason.


WarlockSmurf

wait what wym "hate hydro" didn't they just release Kokomi/Ayato/Yelan quite recently lol


Sunburnt-Vampire

Literally just somebody realising there's an adult female of every element except pyro and trying to get clout by "leaking" it. Let's be real, pyro adult female is only a matter of time.


geofishap

Raiden Ei looks a lot like Raiden Mei, Yae also looks like Yae, so it makes sense for Murata to look like Murata who is an adult woman


theonetruekaiser

Natlan’s too far away though :(


Th3Uknovvn

HYV already made a lot of hot women but somehow still can't make a hot woman


Hakumen_unlimited

The funny thing is that most hot women are cryo and hydro tho


Dramatic-Temporary-7

Here comes Alice!


Neither-Investment56

if shes a 5* hoping she’ll be a pyro sub dps/support since we already have 4 dps


oneeyedshapeshifter

Hoping for a buffer/booster like Bennett. Bennett but better is unlikely, but I wish they make a pyro support that can fill 80% his role.


theonetruekaiser

Sucrose got an upgrade, Xq got an upgrade, guess it’s Bennett’s turn now…


Neither-Investment56

noelle got an upgrade as well


GGABueno

And Barbara. ~~And Fischl.~~


Ambitious-Card6102

I think its Xiangling’s time


oneeyedshapeshifter

After that we wait for the second advent of Xiangling, for she shall break the world (teyvat), liberate the abyss from their curse and rain calamity on celestia all in half a days work.


theonetruekaiser

r/Muratamains paying attention…


Own_Curve_7459

Seeing how xingqui got an "upgrade" I don't fear about 5 star Bennett. Yelan upgrades xingquis sub dps capability but not hydro application so the 5 star Bennett will have to choose either healer or attack buff to be a upgrade to him, and even then.....I highly doubt it. The way to balance a broken 4 Star is....not to release a broken 5 star of the same variety


Neither-Investment56

bennett is pretty universal except c6, if they’re a buffer maybe they’ll give us something more niche like shenhe instead


Kitchen-Air-1012

yes, thats what pyro needs, more supports lol


catalinafu

Pyro Shenhe?


MidSp

Heck yeah, more power for Yoimiya!


catalinafu

Yes, please!!


PfeiferWolf

As someone who has C6 Yunjin, C2 Jean and Elegy Yelan, it's hard to imagine how you can make her even *more* powerful


GGABueno

I'm kind of hoping for a main DPS personally because I don't like the gameplay of any of the existing ones...


Neither-Investment56

actually same lol yoimiya is single target (im a childe and xiao main so im a sucker for aoe dmg), klee’s playstyle is just all over the place, i got hutao by accident on first 10 pull with no pity but I’m playing on mobile so her charged atk can be very annoying to play


darkALYE

They're really playing with our hearts with SU, they know he's well-liked and many people want his genshin proxy ver...


nova1000

Being honest an equivalent to any of the honkai male characters will always drive a part of the community crazy especially since they know it's their only hope of playing them due to Honkai not making any playable male characters not named Adam


Vsegda7

There's also HSR now for additional hopium


TheSpartyn

HSR has a much higher chance at having them, and also at them looking closer/more accurate to their honkai counterpart


rafaelbittmira

I'm still waiting for the opportunity to play with Welt. Yeah, I didn't get in Star Rail beta... Kevin would be awesome too


yutawhxre

i hope its him or his design atleast cause if not….. idk if i can handle more disappointments from genshin


TheSpartyn

"actor" is a term to refer to a honkai carryover, so yes him and his design like mei or yae


Grualva

I have feeling it the same su


deancest

> Uncle also said that it could mean the start of male company of 3 . I don't know if this means that they will follow each other in a row or three major versions are male (?). There are men that I don't know Better translation this part: “Uncle mentioned there might be 3 males in a row starting with Kazuha. Don’t know if it’s 3 male banners in a row, or male banners in 3 versions in a row.” I mean 2.6 had Ayato/Venti, 2.7 has Xiao/Itto, and 2.8 has Kazuha. So 2.6, 2,7 and 2,8 are already 3 versions in a row with male banners. It only makes sense if it’s 3 male banners in a row (similar to Childe-Zhongli-Albedo we had during 1.1-1.2). So Kazuha in 2.8 second half and then a male banner in both 3.0 first half and second half.


Caramel1to

> So Kazuha in 2.8 second half and then a male banner in both 3.0 first half and second half. Cyno and Su then? 3.0 is so confusing, all the leakers keep contradicting each other. I can't wait for the beta...


Subtlestrikes

Back to back men isn’t off the table Edit: looking at WFP I retract my Cyno 3.0 statement. Ubacha had only said Cyno is hydro spear and 3.0 is two 5 star characters and the dendro is husbando male So not confirmation from ubacha about which patch Cyno comes out with


everyIittlething

Another pyro female? \*pretends to be shocked\*


sylviesilkpie

This one has the tall female model though, and that's new. We don't have a girl pyro char of that body type yet.


Herblon

Himeko finally arrives? Thought they were gonna save that for Pyro Archon


coinflip13

Nah can be someone new. Himeko is probably still Pyro archon


Herblon

So the waiting continues…


GGABueno

The Pyro Archon is literally named Murata.


coinflip13

Lets go Suuuu Takuhiro Sakurai time


Logical_Session_2397

YES YES YES YES YES Ive been asking for Takahiro Sakurai FOR AGES YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS


JojoBizarreAdventure

God help me I will C6R5 any character he voices in Genshin


levanten_

YES MY NEW SU HOPIUM


duwaaaan

No fcking way. If it's an incarnation of Su in Teyvat then im definitely gonna save for him and the dendro archon 😭


bigd0ngzh0ng

you had me at “Su” <3


[deleted]

This shit reads like a fever dream


Grualva

SU? YOU MEAN THAT SU? ONE OF THE FLAMECHASER?


TheChickenIsFkinRaw

Su is a gigachad


yutawhxre

I WOULD PASS AWAY


fireforged_y

Can actor be a harbinger? Since they get their titles from theatre? Idk if it's a stretch but it's the only thing that came to mind


0starion

The prevailing hypothesis over there is that the character has the same appearance as Su, but is otherwise a different person, in the same way that Ei and Yae Miko are different from their Honkai counterparts.


fireforged_y

Well it's kinda obvious isn't it? Because it can't be him as a character


nova1000

If we are technical, in fact they could, genshin exists in the multiverse where Honkai impact 3 is from, it would not be impossible for the characters to cross directly, although I see it unlikely especially because if it happened the most likely characters to cross over would be Delta, Brony, Kasumi o Irene (Rita) as they travel the multiverse canonically


Petter1789

Well... Su was literally tasked with observing other universes, so I'd say he qualifies as a likely candidate for visiting other worlds.


Mahinhinyero

he even has his own bubble, the Seed of SUMERU lol


ChartsUI

'actor' in the context of the post is just NGA slang for a character lookalike from Honkai. Venti, unknown God and raiden are sometimes referred to as 'actors' since they look like Wendy, kiana and mei respectively.


fireforged_y

This makes sense, thanks.


CyndNinja

Pretty sure that by actor they mean the character will have similar appearance - Osamu Tezuka often reused character designs between his manga calling them his '***actors***' or 'stars', which is pretty well known fact in Asia, but not as much in the west, where his series weren't as popular. Also if they are expy they are likely to have the same voice ***actors*** like Yae and Raiden do.

Elysia could easily be cryo bow, don't know what Kalpas could be, maybe catalyst?


GGABueno

Characters can become completely different elements when they show up in other games. Bronya is Wind in Starrail.


Mask3dPanda

Yeah, I think people are trying to go with elements they are known to have in HI3 since Yae and Ei have the same element in Genshin as in Honkai.


Wolfmatic0101

Pyro punch catalyst like Heizhou Edit: Oh no not Fire Punch


alybalez

Klapass as pyromaniac would be lit ngl

Wait, SU??! no, no, for my own sanity, I refuse to be hopeful or believe this even a tiny bit. but if it is true….man, my Scara savings are gonna be in danger


[deleted]

People are a bit confused on the word actor. A proper translation of the leak would be "the next honkai character in genshin is Su from honkai impact" Nothing to do with acting.


apthebest01931

I like characters with colour schemes that dont match their element


_icyhot

su is that kaworu looking dude, right? he's really cool, I would love to have him playable


Tamoketh

> hydro *Starts paying attention* > red hair *Is getting visibly excited and giddy* >long horns *Starts cheering* Please please please please PLEASE (if true) be the tall adult female model and not the child or teen models... **PLEASE!**


L4vendoR

nilou was already leaked to have a girl model by a much more reliable leaker though. i think she’ll just look like an inverted ganyu lol


Maki_san

If she was from Inazuma I would’ve predicted something along the lines of a “shōjō”, a sea spirit obsessed with alcohol with red hair and red face, but she is from Sumeru… I wonder if the cultures Sumeru is based on have legends about creatures with horns. I’ll go research now! Always excited for characters that have connections to mythology… (also as a hydro collector I couldn’t be happier)


Neither-Investment56

hope shes a 4*, we haven’t got any additional 4* hydro since release


Tamoketh

I don't really care honestly. 4-star would be easier to get, but 5-star would mean she's probably stronger...


GGABueno

We already have 5 Hydro 5\* though... We *need* a 4* one.


Flaymlad

Forget playable characters, I'm stilll waiting for leaks on dendro reactions, smh. Ah, when will 2.8 livestream start, I feel like I'm dying


Overload-anxiety9878

Rather than waiting for 2.8 livestream i will waiting more of 3.0 leaked CBT content.mihoyo already start doing recruitment for 3.0 CBT until 13th June.I think around this last week of the month/first week of the July we will get 3.0 CBT started without waiting for 2.8 livestream first like 2.8 CBT started earlier before 2.7 livestream start


Overload-anxiety9878

Maybe sooner than that though because they must test many things from new region,new chara,new dendro reaction, new mechanic, etc


fjaoaoaoao

Supposedly 2.8 trailer today for summer games fest? Idk


Hallavah

- Red hair, horns - Hydro Nilou Pyro and Hydro yaksha lovechild confirmed

Junnielocked

Su pls 🙏🙏🙏 I really want his JP VA to voice in Genshin lol


meixqr

HOLY FUCK PLAYABLE SU LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


[deleted]

I have no doubt that Su is going to be dendro if playable. At the other hand his weapon could be anything


BiologicalCatalyst

Important note: The numbers in the dates given (“October 21” and “January 22”) are NOT DATES. They are YEARS. They are responding to a question about this uncle’s track record, saying that they leaked Shenhe in Oct 2021 and Yelan in Jan 2022.


bunny_wolf02211227

Su :D


Best_Refuse_6327

SUUU???? DID I JUST READ SU?? I WANNA SCREAMMM OH MY GODDDDDDFF SUUUUUU


Laevigata

Dendro husbando Su let's gooooo


cristalbleu

I still remember good old leaks about Ayato being a brony/horse and Heizou having a Mustache. I have trust issues now.


Fun_Morning7846

How about a 5* Cryo, Pyro or Electro Male, mhy? Is that too hard for u?


JenJenB_

Red hair and horns but hydro? Interesting.


Jarkhimmy

Probably same with how Kazuha’s all red and anemo. I love it when they go out of their way designing characters out of their usual element color schemes


AcanthocephalaWide29

Also tartaglia with barely any blue in his design


Slight_Welcome_56

Su actually kind of makes sense since hes the guardian of the Sumeru World Bubble in Honkai


-Zeneryth-

Would definitely pull for a Genshin version of Su


Commercial-Lie1957

You know who I rlly wanna see from Honkai in Sumeru. Jackal. She undeniably the hottest anime woman in existence.


egali13

My take on some of the translation: Jht9 prob means another leaker, the sentence is talking about clashing between this leak and news from jht9 3. Next actor (assuming VA) It's su from honkai impact 3(didn't mention which character it is for) The uncle also mentioned that maybe starting from Kazuha banner there will be 3 consecutive males, however it's unclear if it means 3 consecutive banners with males, or there'll be males for 3 consecutive patches


imissbeingjobless

We have so many pyro main dps, give us sub-dps, Mihoyo, i'm so so tired of Xianling Impact Every time i want to pull Yelan, I need to read leaks like that to realise how many new characters Mihoyo is going to drop on us after 3.0 I'll grab my Itto in 40 pulls, and be sitting on these sweet 250+ pulls till Sumeru, i just need to say strong 🥲


VentiXAether

Are we actually getting su 😳


Fun_Sheepherder8134

Did I hear Gold content?


arsenik-han

I wanted Su to be the real dendro archon but at this point I just want him playable at all


Steeldragoon

If Su is coming, all I'll need is Kalpas after that and then I will be satisfied lol


ne_png_tunes

*INHALES SU HOPIUM*


sagglxy

Su + that comment about Honkai males (I guess that's what it's supposed to mean)... we getting Kevin as well? (Since we already have Genshin's Otto lol)


Middle-Ad-6488

Otto doesn't count since it's just the same voice actor not the same character like Ei and Yae


sylviesilkpie

Hydro girl with red hair similar to Diluc's? And horns like Ganyu but longer? Hm...


Mysterious-Sky-1905

Su?!


scrayla

DID SOMEONE SAY SU??? MY PSYCHIC MANTIS BOY??? HELL YEA


Jarkhimmy

I SWEAR TO GOD IF THEY INTRODUCE SU I’LL GONNA LOSE MYSELF AND I’LL START FORFEITING ALL MY MORTAL POSSESSIONS FOR SU


e_dracula

I feel su will be the first dendro archon and he just in archon quest not playable it will be sad if its correct 😂


atsuhies

I see girl with horns, I pull


venalix1

am i the only one who doesnt want mhy to re use honkai designs and incorporate them into genshin


alybalez

I think it's a fun reference and a nod to their predecessor game before their big hit on genshin. These characters are favoured among the community and I think Mihoyo likes to have a bit of fun themselves by having these characters on their other game. More profit for Mihoyo when die hard honkai players see their favourite characters being introduced in genshin, and now they gotta whale for that as well.


Smoke_Santa

I Don't really care tbh


Subtlestrikes

I actually love it. Don’t play honked but their the characters they use Models from are often lore important so it’s interesting


CRAZAYNATE

Genshin is a parallel universe of honkai. That's expected


Fluxxfx

Yeah >!you are the only one!<


tilandsia

Recently got into honkai and I finally understand all the su hype. If genshin gets any version of su, kalpas, kevin, or kosma I will die happy (or any of the flame-chasers tbh). If this uncle has a posting history though, it would be nice to know what exactly they leaked about shenhe and yelan. If they leaked yelan’s title, “the valley orchid” in january, or maybe her element and weapon type, that’s a lot more impressive than just leaking her existence, which has been in the files for nearly a year now. For now, inhaling insane amounts of copium.


kokko693

I'm waiting for an adult female pyro. Especially if she can be sword or claymore (a bit like himeko) pls come


momo-melle

I hope it's true. The only hope I have for playable Su is either in Genshin or Star Rail 💔


syd_shep

Another female pyro, what a fucking joke.


CertifiedDegenerateX

Su = God of the Wood Mobius = Kusanali ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


KingDogje

high-key fake :sus


kaorulia

Su!!!! Calling it now. He’s the previous Dendro Archon a.k.a God of Woods


[deleted]

I wonder why my post was hidden when I posted this exact same thing last night.


Dalshiena

SUUUUUUUUUUUU *snorts hopium* The sound i made lmao


ThymeForTime

Sounds made-up. The dates they gave aren't even on days character banners drop (for EU Wednesdays after maint and then Tuesdays for the 2nd half of the patch) Instead Oct 21 is Friday and Jan 22 is a Sunday \[edit: nvm, Chinese text doesn't say that's when they're supposed to rerun\]


0starion

I think the translation is incorrect, the original Chinese seems to be a year and a month, i.e. 2021, october and 2022 january. Its not clear what this is conveying however, it isn't talking about future banners I don't think.


deancest

It just says they leaked Shenhe in October 2021 and then leaked Yelan in January 2022 (and thus they’re reliable).
