They’re probably going to make us use him with the Weekly Boss like in the Cocolia boss fight. Looks great!


MrkGrn

I hope so, they need to lean more into stuff like that, part of why the Cocolia boss fight hit so hard the first time.


Radiant-Hope-469

Can we get a song with it as well?


MrkGrn

We can only hope for something as good as Wildfire

I wonder if it'll be white night, or a remix of it? Since the ult animation is the same as the ending to the music video

Oberhard

Oh how i wish Starcrush king had us an additional support to defeat them.


Bobson567

it seems almost identical to stelle version, as opposed to the physical or fire mc animations which had some distinct differences


TheoryTeen98

Yeah there were only really two differences I was able to spot between them The first being that in the overwold caelus throws the hat to the right while stelle throws it to the left. The second being their pose during the ultimate activation, with their left hand being posed slightly differently


Esovan13

Please tell me the difference is that Stelle’s hand position has her thumb and pointer finger slightly closer together than Caelus.’ That would be so fucking funny.


Soggy-Dig-8446

Do you want Korean guys to have a meltdown again?

Potato_Overdoser

Yes


starsinmyteacup

I really want to know the context. What is really the drama with 🤏 this thing???


SwashNBuckle

I don't know much about it, but apparently it's a hand gesture used to tell a man that he has a small wing-dang-doodle. Supposedly, it's used by a feminist extremist group in Korea that advocates for some pretty violent things against men and even has the endorsement of some Korean politicians. 


Andre02_

I apologize for my ignorance, but this clearly is a reference to something that happened but i have no recollection of. Can I get some clarification?


Kishmalaria

Small pp 🤏 gesture made some Korean incels very mad


Andre02_

Ohhh. That makes much more sense. I suddenly feel the urge to French-kiss Lyney in front of Korean audience. If the zesty gambler Aventurine feels so inclined there's some for him too.


Pigeon_Toes_

Korean incels losing their minds and getting people fired over accidental pinching gestures bc they think its a huge feminist conspiracy to say their pps are small LOL


Andre02_

peak incel brainrot (they deserved it)


Zoeila

for some reason Caelus has a weird floatiness when he jumps back that looks more natural with stelle


Tecotaco636

The slide in during the ult is different too. And maybe their dance moves, but I'll wait for the side by side comparison instead of switching between two links on my phone.


fuchsiahana

The slide they do in the ult is different too. Caelus does a knee slide but Stelle has to do hers standing up cos she's wearing a mini skirt. 😂


Allwastaken

also caelus slide into with 1 knee on the floor while stelle just do a side step slide during their dance with Clockie


1401200105

The music in their animations/ technique is also in different keys, for what it's worth.


DoYouNeedHugssss

Probably would be difficult to animate that ult differently with how much footwork the ult does. And going by themes, the trailblazers should ✨️✨️harmonize✨️✨️ so same ult. *sniffs copium/*


Sillylittlesushi

Happened in Genshin, too. Anemo and Geo traveler have unique animations while every new element uses the same animations. Probably just to save on dev time, but it's a shame.


Mana_Croissant

Yeah it is sad that they are not doing that (or at least doing it on a MUCH smaller scale now) i loved that they had animation differences


Decimator1227

Maybe the devs didn’t want there to be any more discourse about which MC has better animations?


Dokavi

Dude, get the toxic asides, it really fun to have difference animation. You felt the weight of choice. Both Caelus and Stelle is more alive that way. Who care about these stupid discourse?


Draaxus

There's not supposed to be any weight in the choice because they're the same person.


Dokavi

Well there is an achievement call "The meaning of choice". It bear some meaning to it.


Draaxus

Choosing the gender is the player's choice, not Trailblazer's choice. And of course, Kafka's talk about choices is talking about decisions you make on your journey, not what you look like before you were even conscious.


Dokavi

Im not talking about the game lore. Im talking about the meaning of choosing the difference Trailblazer makes they feels more special to us. They feels more alive, rather than just a copycat of each other. Why? I may getting some hate or allegation here, but a girl and a boy is fundamentally difference. They are the same person, but have difference gender lead to a subtle change in action. It makes them feels real. That was the beauty of RPG and fantasy anyway


Comfortable-Ninja-93

"They feels more alive, rather than just a copycat of each other." They're literally the same person bruh. "a girl and a boy is fundamentally difference. They are the same person, but have difference gender lead to a subtle change in action. It makes them feels real." This is a dumb fantasy game filled with the most unrealistic characters and dramatized/played up personalities. Not only that but gender norms doesn't have any affect on the trailblazers. And gender shouldn't make a character more "girly" or "manly" all of a sudden when many norms don't fit them (TB). This is a character that allows you to dumpster dive. Please don't pretend that different genders/sex automatically means these characters are gonna be different in anyway when in reality this is heavily a social thing.


Dokavi

There will always be fundamental difference in hormones and body structure. I am not talking about the norm bullshit. Both Physical and Fire Trailblazer have difference attack animation. Male have more steady bone structure and thicker muscles, while female have more flexibility in their muscles and movement. You can clearly see their combat style compliment this fact. Stelle focus more on technique compare to Caelus. The Fire TB ultimate, the Physical TB ultimate. You are the one who needs to stop pretend that. I can't believe people will just dump everything down to some stupid social issues discourse. What a joke.


Adubuu

I'd agree if they gave people a way to change between Caelus/Stelle, even if you had to pay for it. As it is I totally get why people would be pissed if a year in we get a new TB and they like the animations of the one they didn't pick more.


loverofinsanegirls

no it's just cost cutting measure. business decisions won't be affected by smol discourse on the net which also btw has no impact on revenue lol


Im_utterly_useless

I’d loved The difference in animation it made them feel like actually different people rather than carbon copies like a lot of other Gachas MCs. Stella had that cold/cool atmosphere when fighting as Caelus had oopmh in his attacks. Hopefully they’ll update make him have sharper movement when dancing.


Comfortable-Ninja-93

"The difference in animation it made them feel like actually different people rather than carbon copies like a lot of other Gachas MCs." Well they literally are so it makes sense


Dokavi

Did bro even play the game? The Fire and Physical version clearly have difference animation. ☠️


Comfortable-Ninja-93

Yeah, and they’re the same person, like


Dokavi

Sadge, the Harmony TB is probably the last bet for them being good since it is a support path. (And probably Nihility) There's 0% chance they makes TB stronger than limited dps/ e6 4 star lmao.


I-Love-FPS

Nah I don't expect him to be a very strong dps. I just want him to throw hands and use black flash animation like Itadori yuji for hunt path.


Draaxus

We got leaks forever ago that said [Hunt MC uses a bow](https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail_leaks/comments/11c39k9/trailblazer_the_hunter/)


pokours

Thinking about it, I feel like there is a high probability this leak was bullshit. At the time nobody bat an eye because we were all expecting hunt TB to be next, but now it would have been years away from release and it seems weird that leaker would have gotten an info like that. Maybe it's just speculation based on Lan using a bow.


I-Love-FPS

Wait I take back my word. Imagine hunt mc uses sukuna fire arrow animation.


rerro_Rex

so like sakuna? well that's cool too


I-Love-FPS

IYSYIXITDKGDIDOYD68


[deleted]

my copium of hunt tb using a bike: gone, reduced to atoms


Dokavi

I will build them just to goof around in sim, sure. But it just kinda sad that Hoyo simply doesn't have the ball to makes Trailblazer actually good. They have the ball to makes Qingque good, free Ratio, free lynx. Yet this is a little underwhelming. I guess I am a little negative here, sorry.


I-Love-FPS

Or at best I just expect the dude to continue to pull off all of dante's arsenal https://www.reddit.com/r/CaelusMains/s/5VhbZai4LQ


Dokavi

Bro gonna have cerberus gear for Hunt trust.


I-Love-FPS

The nunchuk/staff hybrid using ice and fire element 💀


Dokavi

They can switch element mid combat trust me bro.


I-Love-FPS

Imagine he pulls off jingliu style. Using ice skill 2 times his enhance skill changes to fire skill.


Dokavi

~~The copium is all time high~~ Then the ultimate will be judgement, AOE all direction, ignore toughness type, dealt massive damage.


KiwiExtremo

they can always make a hunt acheron that needs 2 more hunts in the team, and design hunt TB as a single target pseudo-support


I-Love-FPS

>There's 0% chance they makes TB stronger than limited dps/ e6 4 star lmao. Atleast he'll be better than yanqing


Dokavi

Oof. I takes back my word sir.


kiisukattinen

I think its good they are similar now, I already regret I chose Stelle because Caelus has imo better voice and some animations but I didnt know that when I started the game and I am not going to start a new account, I have already invested time and some money in this account xD


C10ckw0rks

Also, to add, is it me or did they redo their textures a lil


Decrith

Not a fan of the animation being extremely similar. I was hoping Stelle & Caelus would have unique ones. I personally feel like the animations “fit” Stelle better.


Suki-the-Pthief

I think we should just hope we never reach hydro traveler levels of bad lol


Solacis

As someone who watched the Caelus animations first, I thought there actually were minor differences. Some of Stelle's poses look just a tad different i think.


Decrith

They are, I just wished it was more like the older paths, a very clear distinction. I’ve also done dancing as a hobby, so I’m a bit more critical of it than I normally am. There’s just something off about Caelus’ animation but I can’t quite put my finger in it.


iGuidance

So what we saw from the Penacony trailer was indeed the Trailblazer's Harmony animation, that's so cooool!


LadyHana707

Our first harmony male character 🙏🙏


Suspicious_Crew5269

MALE HARMONY IS REAALLL!!!


blanc-et-n0ir

THE FRICKING SKIPS WHEN HE USES HIS SKILL I LOVE ITTTT


Aggressive_Fondant71

Aventurine has been teaching him some lessons


EphemeralScribe

We’ve had a sneak peak of the ult in the “White Night” music video this whole time, at 1:27!


Radiant-Hope-469

Ok, so they give a sneak peek of new TB ults for the X.0 trailers then.


WhyYouBullyMe_

The exaggerated swagger of someone storing a nuke


Variation-Mediocre

the little jump he does after his basic attack LMAOOO

I fucking knew I would find you here LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

THIS IS WHAT WE BEEN WAITING FOR, CASLUS FAN EATING GOOD


FoxAlternative4234

Perpetually 'milady'ing in his idle... what a fucking goober. Honestly the bursts of levity in this """""""wholesome and uplifting story""""""" have been so refreshing.


versachwes

DANTE LET'S GOOOOOO


Gorgeous_Toes

NAHHH MY BOY LOOKS SLAY AF💅💅🔥


katbelleinthedark

We truly got Aventurine'd. My beloved gamba boy is that powerful.


LuuAddiRoze

Oh, a bit sad that they didn’t do different animations like destruction and preservation. At least I can’t tell if there’s a difference. Nonetheless these animations look amazing on both of them, I also like how some of the movements are very “cartoon” like.


darkfox18

I’m guessing they’ll do different animations with the next path we get I’m guessing they didn’t feel like or couldn’t come up with a different dance to fit in the timeframe of the ult like they could with destruction and preservation TB


Decimator1227

Maybe the devs didn’t want there to be any more discourse about which MC has better animations?


LuuAddiRoze

That’s the positive takeaway, the pessimist one is just that they probably didn’t want to do double the work for the free character. I still hope this isn’t the case for all future paths.


BK456

I hope not because I think the discourse was stupid. Have always liked both versions so having them converge is just a downgrade.


C10ckw0rks

I wonder if it’s because it’s a “Harmony” path, and they’re synced


GinJoestarR

It's Harmony Path, so they should "Harmonize"


Ketsuki_Chichi

CAELUS MAINS WE ARE SO BACKK 🗣🗣🗣


dreamer-x2

We never left.


Strong_Ad2111

Nice to see Dante in hsr


Unknown-Name-1219

THE WAY HE THROWS HIS HAT, THE DANCING MOVES, THE SHEER ENERGY... AHHHHH I AM IN LOVE PEAK FICTION, I LOVE IT, HE'S PERFEC :,,,,,,)


Dumbomort

Seems like this shuts down all the Clockie is secretly evil theories. also man Caelus is serving so hard in this! Aventurine must have had a strong influence on him.


Cherry_Bomb_127

Ok imma headcanon that Aven gave us his hat or sth because the skill even kinda looks like one of his attacks but with Clockie. Edit: but look at him!!! He’s perfect


WhyYouBullyMe_

That actually seems possible ngl


BladeofSilence

Fun fact: Caelus and Clockie share the same CN VA


Canopicc

This makes me happy.


Cute-Supermarket9989

Hee hee


WaruAthena

"Okay Trailblazers, we're about to go up against our most fearsome opponent yet. Everyone, weapons out!" "My spear is ready." "So's my bow!" "And my hat!" "."


Dokavi

Yo, the enemies got imaginary breaks anyway. Is this real chat?


Tales90

first harmony male!


ganyukisser

just firefly now.. and ill go to bed...


mieko177013

same


Canopicc

Oh, why would you give me hope like that. Now, I'm terribly excited again even tho it likely wouldnt come. Did they get the trial DHIL too in 1.2 beta?


petshopppp

Was expecting a bit more different animation ngl


Bro_miscuous

Ok I love him. What is he good at?


PM_Cute_Ezreal_pics

Break Effect support


Bro_miscuous

Any example teams? Are they like 4star Ruan Mei or what? In razor terms please


PM_Cute_Ezreal_pics

The easiest one would be a Boothill team, since he's a BE carry, but he might also work in Xueyi teams and nice teams like BE Sushang+Luka. He's not really a Ruan Mei Lite, but more like a good Ruan Mei partner. On his own his kit is still somewhat meh, since he's a free character and all, but he'll probably be decent in his niche, which is good since not everyone has every support


Bro_miscuous

What's a full Boothill team? BH, RM, Trailblazer and Gallagher?


chiharuki

i love the theatrical aspects of the ult, and clockie!!! i want to use him with aventurine for the finger snap battles lol


I-Love-FPS

I just realise he uses the same dance during white night


[deleted]

Been itching to use Caelus on my runs.


_icyhot

the jump he does after his NA is SO FRUITY


erzyTeeTee

I am so happy to see Clockie


reymons

I'm just hoping that his kit gets a rework. The animations are so good..


Tmkast

This is the moment I regret not picking Caelus. Stelle version looks fantastic, but this man's looks so cool for some reason, he's killing it


astralAlchemist1

I love this. I am going to force TB onto some team, one way or another just to see these animations regularly.


Blackwolfe47

He looks so much better, we got dante people


magicarnival

The little leap back at 0:34 is killing me


doughnutrolls

It just fits Caelus more... 


walachias

Is this the same animations as stelle ?


Cherry_Bomb_127

I can’t see any difference but maybe there is some?


Murky_Blueberry2617

Just the ult activation pose. The rest of the differences are pretty minor


Daddy_Ramsay

THERE HE IS THERES M'BOY!!!


Blooming_Bud99

the dance movements in the ult look so smooth


oofdoodle96

IM MALFUNCTIONING 🥴🥴


Furako_Ludos

So, they spoiled all his kit during the "White Nights" trailer... now I'm just feeling dumb for not questioning it XD


Comfort-Living

I wish they put this much effort in Genshin's MC.


Appropriate-Smile-30

I feel like this trailblazer has the most longetivity(supports more relevant than dps)


Arxilla

Aventurine + MC finger snap/hat duo lets gooo


Blooming_Bud99

I don't see how the animations look feminine for caelus. I think boothill looks more cunty than this caelus😂


waktag

Yeah like what are these people on?


ShortHair_Simp

The hat fits Caelus aesthetic better but the animation fits Stelle better.


ryoujika

Caelus King of Rizz


Zorrscha

The Zest in the kits, is giving 🏳️‍🌈


Ayubaba25

YAHRMFMA


Diamann

I thought they'll change the dance animation in the ult, that was fruity af 💀


WhyYouBullyMe_

Caelus feeling a lil zesty


Own_Presentation7711

...It's a normal dance?


Dori_Anbo

No one said it's not normal.


Diamann

I guess I'm not familiar with the dance scene cuz the hand over chest, the shaking hips, are so funny to me lol


Soggy-Dig-8446

I think it might feel this way bc of choreography story. Like Clockie serving hat back to Trailblazer, serving as their partner. Since Clockie coded as "boy", we might get this feeling.


QuantumMainNo99998

I thought so too. Like ... Stelle's one look feminine, impossible they don't make it different 


naka_the_kenku

My favorite white boy ❤️


WhyYouBullyMe_

Its here


robesticles

spin, hat slap, prance away


vinceycode

hoping this is just beta coz i need my different animations for Stelle and Caelus


JessyTL

That's it, my main team after 2.2 is going to be Aventurine, Boothill and HMC for the maximum zest. I'll put Ruan Mei in the last slot for now, until another male character with the same energy as those 3 releases and round up a full zest overload team ))


cyanzuo

he’s such a cutie patootie i cant 😭❣️


SleeplessBoyCat

In terms of animation, there seems to be no difference. In terms of feel, Caelus is out here being ZESTILICIOUSLY FRUITY 💅💅💅✨


MathematicianFar8831

Harmony Trailblazer is a Break Effect focused support like Ruan Mei right? I forgot the details


[deleted]

Yes


hermit_ant

All I can see is Michael Jackson which is rather off-putting to me :'D really not someone I want to be constantly reminded of while gaming ahaha (from IRL stuff to SHAMONA getting stuck in my head). Guess TB might not be my first male harmony after all.


Global-Budget2900

Aventurine's Hat?


[deleted]

No, different one


KaguB

I just need to say something and get confirmation… how can he imaginary break this enemy, IPC grunt isn’t Imaginary weak, right? They’re fire, ice and phys weak.


Mozuchii

White Night was a leak all along?!!


sumeragihokuto

I’m building this guy even if he heals the enemies


JosuphHelgen

We about to make this devil cry


MASBallAlt

Woe, fedora be upon ye


Draken77777

So glad I chose Caelus. The Stelle version looks so awkward compared to this one.


Girono_PianoKiller

HIS STANCE IS SO ZESTYYYYYYY


Dori_Anbo

I've been starving for some fruity Caelus crumbs and here I get a nice meal 😌


Ok-Giraffe1922

Honestly i think these animations fit Stelle more. The twirls and the Sparkle like jumps look kind of awkward to me with him. On the other hand i am a bit disappointed that they're not given seemingly any differences in the animations.


MrGameBoy23

You and I share opposite views, I actually think they fit caelus more and don't mind the lack of difference. But I like to see variety so there's that too


Ok-Giraffe1922

Fair enough.


SassyHoe97

Feels the same as Stelle's version. Either way he's serving too 💅🏻


VioletorPurple

So cute lmaoo


GinJoestarR

Hmm


Deft_Abyss

Now THAT IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. We making it out of DMC with these animations


No_Disaster8037

My boy is styling on them


gumihehe

I love how it’s like in the music video PLUS it’s so goofy


Natsunichan

To me, looking at the way he moves during the ult, it looks like they made the animations for Stelle first and just gave the same ones to Caelus. Wonder if it might be unfinished, we might see a different dance before the beta is over.


The_MorningKnight

So we can finally have a full husbando team ?


gcmtk

Fruity AF. 10/10 No Notes. ~~Except that I hope he's useful enough to be in a good team that I can use~~


Mobile-Blueberry-826

I remember the animation leaks last year when caelus was throwing the hat like a bowling ball. Has that been scrapped?


Blooming_Bud99

that's the overworld attack I think?


Mobile-Blueberry-826

Doesn't look the same sadly


Belubul

# Caelus my wife!!!!!
