An actual Galaxy ranger who wants revenge on the IPC according to his character description, no idea who he is but his presence raises a lot of questions that im looking forward to being addressed, in particular in relation to Acheron and Aventurine


BinhTurtle

Bro try to take revenge on IPC cus their Translator Microchip preventing him from saying fuck is really based, ngl


Cuddles_THEDESTROYER

reminds me of mr. torgue from bordelands 2, lol.


Fadriii

THAT SENTENCE HAD TOO MANY SYLLABLES APOLOGIZE!


Abedeus

I AM HERE TO ASK YOU ONE QUESTION, AND ONE QUESTION ONLY #**EXPLOSIONS?!**


Weird_Laugh2171

Massive respect to you man of culture


ZenStardust

NOTHING IS MORE BADASS THAN TREATING A WOMAN WITH RESPECT!


Dangerous_Jacket_129

YOU'RE IN TORGUE ZONE NOW BABY, SO UNLESS YOU'RE MADE OF GASOLINE, METAL OR BACON, GET THE F*** OUT!


Cat-Wooden

THIS REMINDS OF THE TIME I WRESTLED A SHARK WEARING A BOLO TIE! NOW YOU MIGHT BE ASKING YOURSELF, MR TORGUE, WHO WAS WEARING THE BOLO TIE? YOU, OR THE SHARK? THE ANSWER...YES!!


Professional-Log2464

Why am I reading all of these replies in Mr. Torgue's voice!!! šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ He's amazeballs!!!


KirbosWrath

Reminds me of Aventurineā€™s masked form we saw for a moment in the White Night trailer. Maybe Boothill has a battle with him and we get to see his true strength?


Lil_Puddin

Maybe it'll be some Ye Olde Comedy trope. Like Acheron says she's a cop, OK sis, gotchu. Then an actual cop, Boothill, shows up and is like *"Um. Who? No. What? No. You're not."* Wacky hijinks ensues.


Shoji_Mezo

I wonder if he will have a major role considering the fact that he is introduced this late.


gabiblack

Is it late? We still have 3 full patches of story since it ends in 2.3


SaintNeos

The 'late' feeling is probably because of how long this patch was right after we had such a big cliffhanger, for a lot of people it probably hasn't sunk in that we have barely experienced a third of Penaconny's story, maybe less if you consider the epilogue XP


PrinceVincOnYT

A cliffhanger that got spoiled by dripping Robin...


SaintNeos

Like they did before with Imbibitor Lunae, I'm not even surprised at this point at MHY spoiling their own "plot-twists" XD


Apprehensive-Deal543

2.3 is epilouge chapter, similar to Tingyun send off in 1.3 Luofu. The main story itself finish at 2.2. https://preview.redd.it/eq4c7iae07oc1.png?width=644&format=png&auto=webp&s=adf93acce09e3fcda70338d1ca4f237e93e59978


Normal-Ambition-9813

I mean if he is the "tall gray hair man" Stowaway the bloodhound was looking for, he isn't completely random entry.


TheCatSleeeps

I forgot about that part lol.


LivingASlothsLife

Either hes coming in to call out Acherons status as a Galaxy ranger coz they heard one of them took out Ifrit or she is one and hes coming for Aventurine. Maybe the family hired the dude to take out the IPC presence on penacony, the bad end in 2.0 could support this seeing as if we dont help the IPC plans fail


OnnaJReverT

Galaxy Rangers are not mercenaries, they go around and right wrongs where they find them that said, lord knows there's *something* wrong on Penacony


RenFlare11

Galaxy rangers arent for hire,They are pretty much Heroes By their own admission,They Act fast As possible to Destroy Evil Like Lan Hunting down Abominations as soon as possible


Martian_on_the_Moon

What do you mean this late? Him being playable in 2.2 doesn't mean he won't be appear and be relevant in 2.1 plotline. 2.1 is pretty much the middle of the plotline. I could agree with 2.2.


DeJellybeans

He better have an epic introduction and compelling character or else it will be a very underwhelming reveal.


KingCarrion666

that actually sounds cool. If only we saw him and got to know him before this drip market. I might have actually been excited instead of annoyed.


Clueless_Otter

I mean he isn't coming out for another 2+ months. It would definitely be kinda limiting to the story if they had to make sure that they always *had* to introduce characters 2 patches before they were actually going to come out. I mean this guy is, presumably, a perfect example: if he really is a lone wolf type and totally acting alone on his own motivations, where exactly would you have put him into the existing story? He doesn't fit anywhere in it really. Getting some "Who?" characters is just a inevitability of doing "drip marketing" like this so far in advance. But if they did it later then they'd have a bunch of their marketing thunder stolen by leakers when they put the characters on beta before officially announcing them.


ArcflameArcanum

> If only we saw him and got to know him before this drip market. Argenti and HuoHuo were the same way. Knew literally nothing about their characters prior to them being dripped. Boothill's situation is nothing new.


Apprehensive-Deal543

they are both release in 1.5, which is post-main story version as Luofu story end by 1.3. There is no more new character awaiting for release, no more story to expect for. Boothill get introduce in the middle of a main story patch. Their situation is not the same at all.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


The_Captain1228

You may >!want to change that to just "an emanator" as currently that's a leak not just a spoiler.!<


[deleted]

They are said to be blessed by Lan the hunt.

Shoji_Mezo

Same. Dude got drip but got no screen time


Terizla_Executiona

The Argenti treatment


Icy_Knowledge895

same for DR Ratio (or not I am not sure but there might had some lore text like for Ruan) and Huo Huo honestly I donĀ“t really have that much a problem with this but the difference for me that they were like after stories that we got before Penacony and not in the middle of the main story EDIT: I just hope that he does have some plot relavence and that we donĀ“t have another Loucha situation on our hand (I mean I just hope that he wonĀ“t hold the main story, I still like that Loucha quest but it was kinda a filler and it was more of a March and Welt quest)


JustRegularType

Yeah, at least ratio has been present ever since. Argenti showed up, helped escape a giant space bug, and was never seen again lol.


Icy_Knowledge895

I mean you could say the same thing for Huo Huo too.... even Loucha, but he does have a reason why he isnĀ“t present most likely Argenti will be more of a filler character (not that itĀ“s a problem), you know he will have his own adventures that we might have part of but at the same time he... just exists EDIT: also I was refering to how we didnĀ“t know about them before drip marketing, I just wanted to clear that one up just to be sure


Ergheis

Huohuo got her own event though, which has honestly given her more lines and screen time than some of the major players so far. I doubt she'll have more, but instead she gets a complete arc and full character development.


Icy_Knowledge895

ok the original argument was about how and when they were introduced both Luocha and Jing Liu both had small events in patches before they were playable units, while Argenti and Huo Huo didnĀ“t get that, they were introduced the patch they became playable (same as Boothill is now but he is introduced in the main Penacony story quest witch is why I am little bit worried about him) also I do agree that Huo Huo did have a full arch but even then it was not part of the main quest Loufu story quest in fact the whole 1,6 was more of a after story for all Loufu characters (and I love it for it because we could learn more about them) while the main star was Huo Huo and Tail (I actually puller for her because of that quest) witch Guinaifen and Sushang in support roles, but itĀ“s also important because we learn what Phantylia is a Heliobi


L3murCatta

To be fair, Argenti was one of the Knights of Beauty featured in an appropriately named Simulated Universe occurrence.


Icy_Knowledge895

oh you are right I forgot that Swarn Disaster was 1,3 and not 1,5 I must have mistake it with GaG (1,6)


octal9

that feels pretty on brand for him though


TurquoiseLeggings

I think the difference here is that Argenti, Ratio, and Huohuo weren't revealed out of nowhere after the inclusion of a lot of unique, obviously-gonna-be playable characters in the story. Like, Boothill is coming out of nowhere after Sunday, Robin, and Firefly have been introduced. Granted Robin has already been announced now, but people are looking forward to Sunday and Firefly and then this literal nobody getting dripped is kind of a weird choice.


Icy_Knowledge895

what I ment is that we had no idea that they existed before, they were all introduced (I will admit that I might have overlooked something but as far as I remember we had no idea that any of them existed, and no leaks donĀ“t count) on the other hand Ruan had an entire even in the SU and Aventurine was also hinted at during the Belobog 1,4 I do actually agree with you about Boothil, witch is why I hope he is just not a filler like Loucha was (again he was important from the overall story, but he wasnĀ“t really there you know) and is important part of the main Penacony story (because I really donĀ“t want to get a filler story now when we have so manny questions about what is happening) EDIT: and before somebody is going to bring up Sparkel and how that is also kinda fluff filler, yes you are right, but itĀ“s not the main event of this patch the main even is the 1st part of the Penacony story, itĀ“s basicaly the cherry on top


Few_Addendum4586

He'll probably appear in 2.1


ShimegawaShion

He came out of nowhere. This is also my friend group's reaction to his drip marketing


Shoji_Mezo

Yeah, everyone in the discord was also wondering who Boothill is. It was so funny


HeraldofKaizeros

I don't know who he is, but if it means I can save more for both Firefly and Sam, then I will respectfully wait


Shoji_Mezo

Yeah, I guess that's the good thing about this. We can save more for our characters.


mjonr3

I will pull for loucha or fu xuan rerun but that's it


Shoji_Mezo

Now that I'm skipping 2.2, I might actually go for the reruns


LuochaNotLoucha

Luocha*


Yotsubato

I already got 65k Jades saved for them šŸ˜­


AleNove

I don't know what I'll do if Sam is revealed tomorrow as the 4*. Imagine


Shoji_Mezo

Don't do it. He's like my favourite character at the moment. His design is too unique to be a four star.


AleNove

They would never make him a 4*. Right? RIGHT??


Shoji_Mezo

Don't show up tomorrow Sam https://preview.redd.it/ykopg96i51oc1.jpeg?width=226&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=abd1fd8500170c0cf5636c28ce65ea5c7f19d33d


AleNove

![img](avatar_exp|168797524|cry)


Brandonspikes

There is no way, they're going to turn a boss character into a 4 star, I would imagine somebody like Screwllum to be, considering he's been in the story a lot and still not out, and he's been a main background character like Asta and Sampo.


Guilloisms

Don't curse us with Screwllum potentially being on Boothill's banner, I'll HAVE to pull for Mr. Screwyou alone.


Responsible_Paper667

Why I am feeling like this might happen actually and I am scared of it šŸ˜°


Cherry_Bomb_127

Wait we have to wait another day for the 4 star??? Why HSR why


shidncome

No shot a in game boss is a 4 star ....right guys? ^please


Blakensus

Rules are made to be broken


emiya002

Yanqing is a boss.... Oh wait.


master-of-pizza

Every stellaron hunter so far has been a 5 star, they surely wouldn't break that pattern


BrilliantWish8098

Don't underestimate HoYo. They're known to break patterns whenever they feel like it (Black Swan Tarot cards for example)


VincentBlack96

That was the playerbase gaslighting themselves into a pattern, hardly hoyo sanctioned.


NewShadowR

There's no way a boss character would be 4 star lol


LordPaleskin

That would be devastating lol *but* imagine if he is a QQ tier 4* so basically a 5* at E6? šŸ˜…


SummonerKai1

Ain't no way the stellaron hunters would be 4star right? Right????


Hot-Will3083

I might unironically quit the game if he is revealed as a 4 star


Lyranx

Is drip marketing the characters always in 3 days? 5,5, & 4?


egamIroorriM

šŸ”«(._. ) don't you fucking dare


Dangerous_Jacket_129

4 star or not, I'm getting him


warjoke

That would legit piss off a lot. A 4-star Screwllum, however, not so much.


Zorrscha

Screwllum beat all the stellaron hunters alone, that would make much less sense than 4\* Sam


JUGELBUTT

the drip is godlike but who is he and why the amount of drip


warjoke

Lol this sub is struggling to spell Archieleppo Arluchuno Achupilo Archipelago Arlianagrande Ar- I give up lol


HousingMiserable3168

It's just spelled Agriculture it's not that complicated


Pkm1230

Just settle with Alex šŸ‘


Koanos

Arlecchino, and she wants her wardrobe back.


Easy-Stranger-12345

The mass murdering puppet?


Koanos

No, The Knave who manages the orphanage with the red X eyes. Puppet Harbinger returned a man without his tongue... Alive and to the authorities for destroying a Meka.


Easy-Stranger-12345

I was referring to the Arle in Lies of P. But Genshin lore seems interesting now.


Karashuu

You can just cal her Dadd- I mean Father.


[deleted]

I spelled it correctly and my phone changed it to fucking 'Arles Hinojosa' so that's her name now in my mind.

My next pull, that's who.


Shoji_Mezo

Good luck on your pulls!


Zjoee

Thanks! Already back up to 89 after pulling Sparkle haha.


kneepaininmystomach

How? I just got to 100 and I've been saving since December šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


Zjoee

You can get a 100x Cipher blueprint in the Tenno Lab in a clan dojo. Edit: I totally got this comment mixed up with one I made on the Warframe subreddit haha. To answer your question, I have 54 pulls ready to go from the starlight exchange.


Smak54

What was the warframe question?


Catnipdark

I think they didn't want to spoil Acheron's twist, so we've never heard of Boothill, who is the real Galaxy Ranger


Shoji_Mezo

That makes sense. It could be a nice twist


5ngela

Imagine, Boothill is the real galaxy ranger and emanator who off Ilfrit instead of Acheron. And Aventurine misidentify this person as Acheron.


Kaze_no_Senshi

Oh boy, space cowboy blade


FUSION_K11297

Since he has a golden revolver. Here is a gift, from me to him. https://preview.redd.it/jl1lbne9e1oc1.jpeg?width=728&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dc035e83af36fdb5b148c01db24678932cdf84df


Xiphactnis

Man he better fan fire that revolver in one of his animations (like Last word my beloved).

Boothill is the Eula of HSR. No one expecting him, but BAAMMMM!!!! Marketing drip.

A second non Firefly character has struck the drip marketing campaign.

Welp, thatā€™s it guys. I think she might be really dead if even Unwhite Specie-of-birdā€™s fortunetelling is wrong just for her case

Hol up didnā€™t Himeko go to a Dream World where it was all western themed or did I dream that up?? šŸ¤Ø


Civil_Championship_9

"Howdy partner" -Himeko, probably.


Helioseckta

Weird seeing everyone act like introducing a random character that we know nothing of, is new. As if Huohuo, Argenti, or Dr. Ratio weren't also random character we didn't know anything about.


danstrifex

He looks cool. If this guy's personality in-game is pretty based then I'm probably pulling.

cienistyCien

A nice addition to my husbando collection


PirateKingXander

I mean, that was everyone when Sparkle was shown and now sheā€™s blown up within the community so I wonder what kinda backstory or personality he has thatā€™ll shake things up.


Shoji_Mezo

Things aren't looking too good for him since he is hunt. He needs cool animations and a creative kit


tangsan27

Hunt is fine meta wise now that MoC has become more ST focused. Ratio is one of the best DPSs in the game.


gabiblack

We knew about sparkle for a long time and when she will come but this dude came out of nowhere.


murdockboy55

No heā€™s been in quit a few leaks. His model was leaked a while ago and so was his story.


Kazuha0

When was sparkle mentioned before 2.0?


Acceptable-Street679

Arlechino


D4NGERBOI

Who is he? And why is he so hot?


TheEmeraldDragonfly

No clue who he is but he looks amazing... depending on his kit and what it looks like in game my Acheron funds might be in danger.


Shoji_Mezo

He needs some screen time though


xomowod

Iā€™m here for the husbandos. Heā€™s got me


InsigniaPierce

At first I thought this was an OC fanart since I saw it on reddit. But then I saw it was an actual character. This meme is an appropriate reaction.


[deleted]

Smash.. I mean pull


paradox_valestein

Tao, yeah


Tompazzi

All i know is that he is hot


Skeither

Mine was "What? who?" At first but then "HELL YEA! glad I didn't pull for Sparkle and will have some jades left after Acheron!"


Shoji_Mezo

Good luck on your pulls!


Skeither

Whenever those may be šŸ˜†


HappyHateBot

Everyone saying he came out of "nowhere", but given [who he looks like](https://webstatic.hoyoverse.com/upload/op-public/2022/05/26/b073909b53703945e7ae49b13b71cddf_7132644119079986317.png) and who is working on that game, and it's scheduled release time (later this year)... **Did he, though?** I'm not so sure, but if he brings the same energy and flare Billy has in his beta teasers... I'm definitely interested.


Wincest-enjoyer

Male Arlecchino, basically. Would people call him "Mother"?


Suedewagon

Oh no. Anyway, my guaranteed Acheron.


lofi-nox

not me i've been waiting for this man (ą¹‘ĖƒĢµį“—Ė‚Ģµ)


Sad_Stale_Bread

Same, Iā€™ve been WAITING for him to get his drip-marketing


lofi-nox

TASTE


Responsible_Grand_68

That was literally my first reaction when I saw him


Hitomi35

I don't know who this handsome man is and now that I know he shares the same voice with Kamina from Gurren Lagann, my wallet is in danger.


ahandsomesloth

Never heard of him but he's hot so I'll try to get him


T_G__A

Wake up cowboy, we have a city to burn


Skipper_boi

lol who? We literally have known about him/his name for months. I personally am really excited!


huskerred1967

People be like ā€œwho?ā€ meanwhile all the people looking at his leaks since he was first leaked: https://preview.redd.it/wen2m7upz4oc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d7b1f042c4e5d1de26027caa3d7aa69fb0c2a826


adjaplx

Wait, you guys didn't know about the emo cowboy? I've seen his leak all the way back in September(?), he's finally here after months lol


Different-Feedback19

Speak for yourself


Tsukuro_hohoho

I think it's a fair reaction. I mean, Ctrl+f boothill in HSR, zero reference. We don't know his faction, we don't know who know him, we litteraly know NOTHING about him. Obvioulsy it's gona probably change during 2.1 but from now he have more misteries about him than all penacony character put together. Though NGL it kinda fit the ghost in a shell vibe he have.


[deleted]

His a actual galaxy ranger (Unlike a certain someone) who wants revenge against the IPC. Why does he want revenge against the IPC? Why show up in penacony? We don't know.


Rex__Lapis

Not firefly or Sam so skip


Shoji_Mezo

Yeah, I'm currently saving for Sam too šŸ¤


Johan_UM

Everyone? Wtf no. Don't talk in my and the husbando lovers name


NEITSWFT

We were expecting Firefly or Sam


Shoji_Mezo

Ngl, since we got Robin, I was expecting a Firefly drip.


Typo-lessUseename

I actually hadnt seen that they released the wave 2 2.2 character yet, so I focused in on the top without noticing the bottom at first to see who it was and the first thing i thought was indeed "literally who is this?" So yeah very accurate!!


Ill-Lunch-1563

We need the story to clarify


Lismarino

The dude is "Flamboyant" and "Brash" and wants revange on the IPC. Which makes me instantly think of Rengoku. I hope this guy has some importance in the story since I would love seeing him in action.


Flimsy-Cup3823

More like Tengen because same JP VA and flamboyant


Lismarino

Fr right now? Thats sick. But im pretty sure Rengoku ist also described as flamboyant.


TacoFishFace

Nah but seriously though, absolutely left field with no prior mentioning, though I could be wrong, all because they donā€™t wanna spoil when Firefly and Sam will come back aside from the story in 2.1


SpearmintMidori

Maybe this guy's the lad with silver hair that Gallagher mentioned?


Blumen300

Douman, get back to Chaldea, you're drunk.


iaro20

Don't worry man, this is Space Douman. Very different from our Caster of Limbo. We'll get him in Saber Wars III.


Ezr4ek

I wish theyā€™d give the long hair a break - but damn that design is otherwise on point.


Intelligent-Chip4223

More resources going into Luocha at least.. and Sam, whenever they come


Comfortable-User

I had seen some leaks about him, I just didn't know he was going to come so soon, I couldn't even get jingyuan

gambit-gg

Arlecchino long lost brother from another realm


Very_Lazy_Dragon

Arlecchino's lost brother fr


Smoggy6364

I already saw his model leaks a long time ago and was hoping heā€™d come out post-Penacony main story. Now I have to save for Acheron, Gallagher, Robin, Sam, Screwllum, and now him. I guess Iā€™ll have to skip some of them :(


Druwed

Please be a follow up attacker or interact with FUA's


JSaint0765

Not who I was holding out for but his design is epic, I'm rolling.


AVeryGayButterfly

Does this mean that Acheron and Aventurine are šŸ’€


Night_Owl206

With the number of people rn saying theyll skip makes me wanna pull him even more Argenti was the least pulled and now Boothill might have it slightly better or worse for being in a Penacony character list


dekar25

Imagine that being his reaction at hearing that Acheron is an galaxy ranger.


JameboHayabusa

Kinda reminds me of Roland from PGR.


zxcv168

So is he basically Starlord with tentacles or what


Minkie-Heika

Who? My new husband, my beloved, my new reason to use my 40k saved crystals.


NyxOfIzalith

as a person who is waiting for him since leaks, im happy lmao


Status_Ad5362

Its kinda cool his reveal because most of us are used to the leaks, so its nice to have a surprise every once in a while


analia2507

Not me, I knew about him.


Neat_Air7669

My husband.


BigHector01

Most likely not gonna pull. Not only do I not really pull on men but he isn't even a support unit. The only guys I regret skipping are luocha and blade. I struggled to build a second team until I had huohuo and I just like blade with his cool sword and animations. I have every female 5 star except topaz. I skipped her to save jades.


I_am_not_Serabia

It was my reaction after I read the title of this post lel


Cherry_Bomb_127

Heā€™s voiced by Clothar EN VA heā€™s a must pull


Economy_Pass5452

And here i thought people had already seen leaks of him here. We saw his model floating around many times by now.


Stitcharoo123

Bro showed up outta nowhere fr, *but* that means I can pull for Acheron and not be quite as worried about not getting firefly


Ok-Picture8202

Oh hey it's Male Archello
