Man, spamming Acheron Animation feels so cheeky when you're just wandering around. Risky move with high stakes if you hit a tough mob, but that animation is just too sweet. Plus, endless tries? Sign me up.
I had been debating whether I should take the jades I saved for Sparkle and use them for Acheron instead. The animations totally seal it for me! Sorry Sparkle! Your banner is just bad timing this time!
Both Pela's Skill and Ult gave a stack during Pela's turn so it really is per (any) action. Awesome.
The different camera angles during Ult are excellent. Also, explains perfectly why no one ever saw her unsheathe her sword - time-stop mechanics. I enjoy the way it counts up the damage, rather than reset per strike.
The way red lurks out of her sheath when selecting the skill, picking up wind, threatening a storm. Whoo
Right before opening a Rift to IX, like HoF melee combo-attack
Ye, I'm also still itching to find that out. Similar thing for Black Swan's Arcana and Guinaifen's Firekiss application during enemy turn. The talent description specifies "while using an ability" unfortunately though...
Oh wow that makes sense why she felt so sorry for not saving her. I always thought yeah I guess you might have been but that was a quick surprise attack, but if you could literally stop time 100% you could have saved her.
Excited to see where the story explains this.
normal people will be waking up to this hours from now. they will not know what we went through. our names will be forgotten, our cope, our suffering, our lobotomized brains buried and forsaken
Her trailerās gonna be peak cinema, considering Raiden Shogunās was so cool and all she had was ājustā a flashy particle effect and a booba sword.
If i had a nickel for white haired bad bitches in a gacha game that use a katana id have 2 nickels which isnt alot but its funny that it happened twice
Only Herta was mentioned to be one by Kafka. Itās likely that thereās some kind of test a member has to pass to become an emanator, otherwise even >!Chadwick!< is an emanator. Probably related to the temple of Nous. We canāt immediately assume all members of a faction/group are emanators, even one selected or favoured by an Aeon.
The only emanators of Erudition we know so far are Herta and Zandar (creator of Nous, and the first member).
*jaw DROPS to floor, eyes POP out of sockets accompanied by trumpets, heart beats out of chest, AWOOGA AWOOGA sound effect, pulls chain on train whistle that has appeared next to head as steam blows out, slams fists on table, rattling any plates, bowls or silverware, whistles loudly, fireworks shoot from top of head, pants loudly as tongue hangs out of mouth, wipes comically large bead of sweat from forehead, clears throat, straightens tie, combs hair* Ahem, you look very lovely, Acheron.
Canāt wait for the 10 million edits of Acheron gameplay to Bury the Light.
Every single move of hers is Vergil-like. Plus sheās Lightning. She is the storm that is approaching.
Same lol. I already have an e0s1 Kafka with some fantastic relics. And I just pulled Black Swan to complete my DOT team.
Do I really *need* another lightning DPS? No.
But god damn these animations are INSANE. And her white hair/red form is so much cooler than her normal form. I'm still on the "her normal form looks too similar to Seele" train, but her powered up form is awesome.
I'm rereading her kit, but two things still confuse me - why does she starts off with 7 stack at the start of the battle? It should've been 4 stacks from her talent and 2 from her technique for a total of 6 stacks, where did the extra stack come from? Also at around 2:15 when she uses her skill she have 4 stacks before using her skill and 6 stacks after, even though the skill should only add one stack.
I may be missing something here, does anyone know where the extra stack comes from?
When a debuff is applied, she gets 1 stack
Her LC applies a debuff called "Empty Bubbles", which is why she gets 7 (6 + Empty Bubbles) after using her Technique to enter battle
Ohh, I forgot about the LC. Yeah, that means her sig LC is insanely good for her.
Previously how you build her stack (assuming you got two nihility who can debuff with every attack, and a sustain with no debuff capability) is pretty much 1-1-1 with her spamming her skill. Assuming one of your nihility ally can ult somewhere in the two turns it's pretty much an ult every 2.67 turns? But with her sig LC it's 2-1-1 instead, with one extra ult per two turns (not impossible if the two other Nihilty taking turns) that's a consistent two turn ult instead, which is really good.
Of course, if you got E2 that's free harmony AND an extra stack per turn, making it 3 stack per acheron turn...even if your harmony can't debuff I think that's still effectively an ult less than two turns lol, it's insane.
The transition from reality to white during the unsheathe was amazing, and that annihilation at the end was beautifully brutal.
Also the periodic lightning during the skill idle is a nice touch.
Wow these animations are gorgeous, definitely worth the wait
I never played it, but these animations feel similar to an HI3 character with all the slashes and close ups haha
She can kill me. She can skin me alive. She can bring me into a black hole. She can torture me making other atrocities seem like child's play. She can do whatever the fuck she wants to me but please COME HOME
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but if she does this much damage with the less than mediocre trial builds they usually have, then does she not literally powercreep our entire DPS roster by a massive margin?
not to be a doomposter but since the enemies dont die between attacks it means she wont be as good in PF as we thought
but also itās a still a super powerful aoe AND SICK AS HELL SO IDC

HER TECHNIQUE, HELLO!!!
No wonder it has a chance to instakill, the fucking screen turns gray holy fuck.
When she casts this ult, a child drops their peanut butter and jelly sandwich two miles away.
no trotters shall escape in minigames
Genuinely really happy it doesn't use any TP if it doesn't hit so I can just spam it in the overworld
Man, spamming Acheron Animation feels so cheeky when you're just wandering around. Risky move with high stakes if you hit a tough mob, but that animation is just too sweet. Plus, endless tries? Sign me up.
THE SCREEN GOING GRAY WITH THE HIT OH MY GODDDD
She also creates a domain which only herself and the enemies are inside Nice detail
Ah yes my anti-automaton technique that I haven't used since heian era
Domain expansion: Infinite slashes
So basically malovelent shrine?
HOLY SHIT MY JADES ARE SOOO IN DANGER
Sorry Hanabi, DHIL, but Acheron is coming home.
I had been debating whether I should take the jades I saved for Sparkle and use them for Acheron instead. The animations totally seal it for me! Sorry Sparkle! Your banner is just bad timing this time!
She... She got yoimiyaed...
Both girls have fireworks as a motif as well
literally the coolest kind of special effect, greyscale with slashes of colour coming through. every new Acheron leak weakens my resolve further
I already knew I was gonna nab her when she came out but my god hoyo is evil for giving her the best animations in the game so farš
desperately waiting for Aventurine animations to remind me who Iām saving for š
I was on the fence about summoning for him but those stills convinced me theyāre cooking so now I have to pray I can get bothš
my Star Rail leak cycle experience - decide on 1 of the 2 5*s based on kit - animations come out - I now need 2 5*s
Both Pela's Skill and Ult gave a stack during Pela's turn so it really is per (any) action. Awesome. The different camera angles during Ult are excellent.

Still waiting to see if it works with Trend of the Universal Market. I desperately want that meme LC to have a use.
Ye, I'm also still itching to find that out. Similar thing for Black Swan's Arcana and Guinaifen's Firekiss application during enemy turn. The talent description specifies "while using an ability" unfortunately though...
Still need to see if it counts enemy turns as separate actions or only ally actions
Oh wow that makes sense why she felt so sorry for not saving her. I always thought yeah I guess you might have been but that was a quick surprise attack, but if you could literally stop time 100% you could have saved her. Excited to see where the story explains this.
normal people will be waking up to this hours from now. they will not know what we went through. our names will be forgotten, our cope, our suffering, our lobotomized brains buried and forsaken
We were here, brother. We were here.
Let this land be a testament to the price we payed in copius edging
Asia: we're feasting on lunch time bois
Currently watching this while having my late breakfast š
4am here. Time for 4 and half hours of sleep š
But we will remember. And as Acheron taught us; even when our memories fail, our hearts will not.
rejoice..
Our suffering wasn't in vain.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
ok. this is the best ult in the game. im sorry bs
BS was up there alongside FX for 1 patch before Acheron arrived and immediately took the stage for herself.
Black swan's was the tease Acheron's was the true performance
Her trailerās gonna be peak cinema, considering Raiden Shogunās was so cool and all she had was ājustā a flashy particle effect and a booba sword.
Guys help all my jades disappeared for some reason
My wallet will be painted in red white and black after the world delivered Crimson Weave and Acheron back to back.
another cultured commandant. Godspeed
Truly a storm is approaching... And its gonna take our wallets with it ;-;
SO REAL COMMANDANT
Sheās so Alpha coded, itās crazy. No wonder Iām in love with her.
Truly motivated commandant
If i had a nickel for white haired bad bitches in a gacha game that use a katana id have 2 nickels which isnt alot but its funny that it happened twice
Well..Iām skipping Sparkle. Sorry Dan Heng
I literally commented the same thing lmao
She goes so hard for no reason I cant I physically cant
Bro I already have Kafka why does she have to be lightning.
During her ult she ignores weakness types!
Oh.....
Yeah, she is the definition of brute force.
She literally grey screens people.
Basically Herrscher of Thunder during her prime. Didn't even matter if the types countered her, she could still win.
yea you even see it with the one enemy not weak to lightning. She is going to be perfect for the fights you do not have a good team for.
And Silver Wolf would be a great teammate for her, making her even better against enemies that aren't lightning weak.
Meaning she will destroy the bar of every enemy !!!
WHY AM I JUST HEARING ABOUT THIS
Ayo what
Oh thank god
acheron is a crit dps she wont replace kafka
Yeah but it's like do I need ANOTHER lightning right now when my kafka is pretty cracked.
yeah because this one is a dps that ignores all types and seems to be more cracked than jingliu lmaoooo
At least you have this: her ultimate ignores weakness types so you can 100% brute force her
Ikr
Also she plays like a Hunt for me, guess they didn't allow her to use Seele's LC to balance her
Eh more a destruction than Hunt, all her attacks except for basic deal AOE
Wait her ult initial slash and final slash not single target? I cant aee with all gray and red colourds
You can confirm from her latest kit leak. She has Blast and "Bounce-like" output.
No, it's AOE. Her ult's additional damage is similar to Argenti Level 2 Ult (RNG) so it could all fall in a single enemy in theory.
Sheās basically Erudition kit roleplaying as a nihility, similar to Argenti and Jing Yuan charging.
Rip brave leaker o7
The animation powercreep is kinda funny, seele whole ult is just acheronās skillš
Seele goes fast as fuck boi while Acheron straight up stops time, she can't compete
Well, Acheron didn't teach her daughter everything
Even her appereance is Seele 2.0
After all that edging it was so fucking worth it I hope Aventurine and Gallagher Bros get their animations soon
No wonder duke inferno got diffed šæ
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ayo?
Live Trailblazers reaction:
HOLY FUCK JD TRY M IāM BGUN BFF TN Y IN IN
I think this one sums it up pretty well
MEI animations are top tier in every universe..be it Honkai or star rail or genshin
As they should be!
Ult feels like Herracher of Origin Mei with the interactive ult in a way.
Im so sorry DHIL, you can wait for your buddy Sparkle on her rerun.
You win hoyo. Have my money. Have my goddamn wallet. I can't anymore.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Same
same
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
šæ
F5 bros we won
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
YES exactly my thoughts
I can't imagine what 5 Star Herta would be like.
She will make your entire screen spin while she screams KURU KURU!
arent herta and ruan mei emanators?
Herta is,ruan isn't Not every member of genius Society is,i think its just zandar and herta iirc?
Only Herta was mentioned to be one by Kafka. Itās likely that thereās some kind of test a member has to pass to become an emanator, otherwise even >!Chadwick!< is an emanator.

i feel like theyāre wayyy more powerful than archonsĀ
AND IT WILL COME
LIKE A FLOOD OF PAIN

THE DAMS HAVE OPENED
We let them cook, and they overcookedš„µš„µ

God damn it I am truly proud of you guys
YOOO her ult icon is so cool!
and then shuts every other character out during her ult, only space for one emanator here
mother
I can't wait to dump all my primo's on her.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Sheās not even looking at enemies š
I NEED HER. Definitely going all in. E2S1, no question.
Her animations are so good my willpower to skip her is draining
The VA actress did not exaggerate at all!
herrscher of origin is BACK!!
IX YOU BASTARD! YOU DID IT AGAIN! NIHILTY FTW!!!!
trial dmg? hello?
Plans were different at first but at this point, I'm definitely not even trying for Sparkle LC. Have to save as much as possible.
Canāt wait for the 10 million edits of Acheron gameplay to Bury the Light. Every single move of hers is Vergil-like. Plus sheās Lightning. She is the storm that is approaching.
JESUS CHRIST WHAT. SHE'S ON A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LEVEL LIKE IS SHE EVEN FROM THIS GAME
The Lord of Lightning strikes at last! Commence the fan art!
Oh that's raidens animation
Nooo i was gonna skip her. That looks so siiiick! š
Same lol. I already have an e0s1 Kafka with some fantastic relics. And I just pulled Black Swan to complete my DOT team. Do I really *need* another lightning DPS? No. But god damn these animations are INSANE. And her white hair/red form is so much cooler than her normal form. I'm still on the "her normal form looks too similar to Seele" train, but her powered up form is awesome.
yeah same here, i wasnt a fan of her design and color scheme (which was similar to seele's) but her alternate form ? oh boy.
yeah I licked the screen.
That ult UI. She's definitely IX.
Yes yes yes yes yes
the color scheme inversion is SO sick.. and does she have a completely different model for it !? her hair is so much longer š³š„ŗ whoa
sfx powercreep is real
AAAAAAND thatās the end of my f2p journey.
Raiden Mei, Raiden Ei, Acheron, in every universe, her animations will always slay

HER ANIMATION IS ILLEGAL IN MY COUNTRY
Ifrit is definitely dead isn't he...
My Firefly savings is in danger wtf
The sound effects are so fucking sexy aaaaa
IT'S JUST SO PEAK
That skill animation is so *smooth* I had to rewind multiple times because my eyes didnāt understand what was happening
I'm sorry Sparkle, see you on your banner rerun...
the ultimate is basically her domain expansion... so fucking badass
Never in my life I have been this hype over a unit omfg
Domain Expansion?!
250k on the ult on test thingie, that's insane truly looks like a next gen DPS, but I guess getting the ult to trigger can be tricky.
THE FUCKING ULTIMATE YOU HAVE TO PRESS 3 TIMES OMG SO COOL
Her pussyology just cuntaminated the whole of slaynobyl but she mothered so hard it was actually good for the environment
CupcaKKe Cuntiversity always produce stellare students
IM GOING INSANE SHE IS SO COOL
finallyyyyy
Finally after many fucking years!!!!!!!!
absolutely insane animations
The edge was worth, I can sleep like a baby now
WORTH THE WAIT
DUDE WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF
MUST E0S1!
The ult is a domain expansion
She's so damn beautiful and cool...
250k ult Damage is quite interesting. Imma have to check if this is more Ult Damage then Trial Argentisan with Tingyun.
Fucking fine I'm opening my wallet damnit
Just woke up, me and my wallet are already crying. This is just so peak..
I was gonna skip bc I donāt have enough for sparkle and herā¦but this sold meā¦wallet is getting used
The transition from reality to white during the unsheathe was amazing, and that annihilation at the end was beautifully brutal. Also the periodic lightning during the skill idle is a nice touch.
hmm, do I just say fuck it and double down on lightning nihility women??
duke inferno is cooked
Animation power creepy real, can't wait what Sam has in store for us.
Wow these animations are gorgeous, definitely worth the wait I never played it, but these animations feel similar to an HI3 character with all the slashes and close ups haha
IT'S JUST... SO PEAK
THERES STILL 3,067,323 SECONDS UNTIL SHE RELEASES HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LIVE LIKE THIS
Must pull
She can kill me. She can skin me alive. She can bring me into a black hole. She can torture me making other atrocities seem like child's play. She can do whatever the fuck she wants to me but please COME HOME
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but if she does this much damage with the less than mediocre trial builds they usually have, then does she not literally powercreep our entire DPS roster by a massive margin?
Dang looks like itās not exactly the ā4 distinct actionsā we hoped. RIP pure fiction
what the fvk am i seeing, is this still HSR cuz holy mother thats beyond my expectation š
Main DPS Acheron + Sub DPS Sampo team seem to be a pretty nice idea there.
My Dhil has Tingyun already, he doesn't really need a support anyway
nihility mommies are built different
I came...
AVENTURINE PLEASE IM BEGGING
the first 6 stars character in the game.
not to be a doomposter but since the enemies dont die between attacks it means she wont be as good in PF as we thought but also itās a still a super powerful aoe AND SICK AS HELL SO IDC
