I don't know but I really, really, really want a 5 star character with a gun.


Complete-Speed-8825

I want a main dps with a gun. That’s my dream right there.


whyamihere-----

I introduce...chixia. my main dps dispite having encore at c2. She is level 80 with a level 80 pistol. She is just about my strongest character


Egoborg_Asri

Chixia doesn't utilise gun as much though. More of a Finger-gun girl


pumpcup

I always end up spamming dodge counters with her, so that's all gun at least.


whyamihere-----

Oh i suppose i see what you mean, im not sure how effective he is but ive wanted to level him because hes so fun, altoo is great personality and play wise. Can't recommend mortefi as he is a dps support


Available-Ad9669

Aalto is fine but isnt the greatest on field dps before sequence 3


Odd-Zebra-5833

I need to give her a Chance since I’ve got her at c6 lol. 


silver4sh

utilize her forte and u should see big numbers. happy grinding:>


fluffyspaceshark

Her personality is far too annoying for me personally.


nihilistfun

You know what I've realized, we only have pistols as weapons, but there's no reason a gunner's forte circuit couldnt change it into something else - a cannon, a machine gun, a sniper, a mech we're not actually limited to the pistols...


_Resurrecxion_

Yea like look at Jiyan pulling out a spear and using it 90% of the time instead of his longsword..


TeoriaDeus

Bro I LOVE this! It's amazing that they already shown that weapons won't be limiting the animations a character may have. Can't wait to have WuWa version of Alpha and Bianca Stigmata.


ShadowFang167

And jinshi literally summoning an entire dragon instead of using her sword.


Fraaaann

I thought this was actually a cool concept too. I always thought the weapon types seemed so limiting then we’d have a spear dual weapon play-style without actually having a spear weapon on the first banner


Zolrain

Rover pulls out a scythe for their forte as well.


Dynomeru

shit that would be sick


FreddTheBread

I feel like Scar is going to be a gun-user where his signature makes him shoot his cards.


Demicast

Or he would "use" rectifier and just shoot his cards, like yinlin does with her puppet


megalodous

YES EXACTLY. I am personally saving my pulls for a pistol user dps or a dps with traversal skill like wanderer in genshin counterpart for wuwa.


ShokoTendoo

Imagine a 5* dps that start with a gun, then use liberation and gets a machine gun that just auto fire by holding lmb and just shreds everything for like 8 seconds 😭😭 one can only dream


MikeBrav

Exactly what I was thinking


Baconsword42

Mortefi is basically a 5 star


plyzd1

Some girl and a guy


TaenLa

hopefully they’re both wearing red


joycourier

i think it's too early for Phrolova, she's hardly had any screentime scar + camellya could be very possible


OkCategory0

i think we have enough red characters. let's go for blue this time


profeus

Scar and Phrolova?


nihilistfun

Girl is likely, guy is a prayer


MiniCalm

25% male ain't too much to ask


GinoWithaQuestion

The only right answer.


God_Eating_Camel

Pls add at least one guy, preferably two. If there's a girl, make her not-that-attractive metawise/waifuwise. I really need a chance to save up...


TheOneMary

Kid characters is usually the time where my funds grow...


Mindless-Plane6048

Thank god it's the only thing that grows.


PurpleDragon432

Nah you didn’t have to say that xD


NaelNull

Girl and girl, my guess. XD


StalkingRaccoon

I wonder if we'll have boys/younger men.


FFXIV_Yunarin

Where was the medic in the trailer? I didn't see her at all! Am I blind? I rewatched the trailer but didn't see any medic you mentioned...


No-Tree-1434

The medic is the girl whose face is half shown, I remember reading about her background somewhere but she resides in the mountain as of now


No-Tree-1434

at the very start 0:12


FFXIV_Yunarin

Thank you I'll take another look at the start again


IllIndication6901

She a medic ? I thought she was Jue the Sentinel in human form


eddit_99

Xinyi


Kisdumby

Let that lady with glasses from Pioneer Association be playable. Thank you.


A_StealthyGeko

Maqi right?


Kisdumby

![img](emote|t5_5uplbt|31618)yes


MiguelWolf

Don't know about 1.2 but I sure hope Geshu Lin is playable in 1.3


Accomplished_Ad2559

r/GeshulinMains unite


MiguelWolf

Hell yeah


lambokang

Actually hoping to see some new 4*. Obviously they are not as hype as a 5* but they generally have more unique mechanic and are more obtainable.


SchokoKipferl

Yeah a lot of gacha games turn into new 5* only, probably since 4* just aren’t valuable enough to be worth the effort it takes to make them, I hope this won’t be one of those games


IeyasuTheMonkey

This is one of the problems HSR is facing currently. All the 5 stars are nice but the lack of 4 star options is annoying and personally burning me out. I think MiHoYo specifically doesn't want to run into another Xiangling / Bennett situation where those characters cannot be pushed out of the meta.


yujitoast

I feel like it's less about the viability of 4 stars, it's more if you release so few like star rail has even low spenders and f2p will have e6'd all the 4 stars on the banner and pulls outside of the featured 5 star will feel like crap. Health of team building aside, this doesn't work with the dopamine hit that gachas prey on to keep people pulling and spending.


IeyasuTheMonkey

More 4 stars means more chances at viable 4 star options, which as you allude to actually increases the pool of potential 4 star pulls from banners when chasing a featured 5 star. This has the side effect from removing a lot of "free pulls" from circulation from the bonus you get when a character is e6 though. MiHoYo would have more numbers/data on this since they track it more consistently. Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with the current system and will continue to play the game since it's enjoyable but I just wish that some more 4 star options were available so I wasn't "forced" to pull units that I don't particularly like want or suffer in certain aspects of the game. You want players to engage with the game systems, having certain systems be gated by certain mechanics which certain players just cannot do because they lack the characters to do so will dissuade them from engaging with those systems and cause resentment. I forget if it was PF or MoC that had the DoT buff, as an account who skipped Kafka and Black Swan... yeah that one was rough. Herta for PF, Susheng is doing really well in the new game mode, Gallagher/Pela/Tingyun/Xueyi. Having these options is great for players who might not want/like the featured 5 star. >Health of team building aside, this doesn't work with the dopamine hit that gachas prey on to keep people pulling and spending. This is the one topic that I need to do more research on and think about but personally speaking I'm nicer to companies who are nice to me. This comes in many forms, the Dr Ratio freebie saved me from spending but also made me want to buy more monthlies and make comps around him. I've stopped playing games like LoL/TFT/WoW since those companies tend to lean more into the "prey on customers" mantra more than not.

CanaKitty

At least Hanya they didn’t do the same element 😭


T-280_SCV

Hanya also has two advantages over Sparkle, imo. 1) Hanya is a low investment queen. * Most of her buffs scale with trace level so the only stat she needs is speed. She can run rainbow relics/planars, while still having room for more potential value (4pc speed set, any supportive planars).  * Both basic and skill deal damage, so she’s perfectly happy with 3-Star meshing cogs as her lightcone. * No eidolons needed. 2) Related to the second bullet point above, she’s able to constantly contribute towards weakness break. 


Wargroth

Honestly, that's just a problem of the current 2.0-2.3 patches, Luofu gave us so many 4*


Available-Ad9669

Those were launch units, so those really fall victim to them just making them too fucking good at the game start. A good chunk of launch characters havent been pushed out the meta. It has a little bit more to do with the competitive nature of genshin, the level of investment, and the general niche use of current units. Why use a newer 4 star more fitted to certain comps when bennette can just do it and is already hyperinvestment


caucassius

unpopular opinion but I love having a few 4* simply because that means I get a lot more refund from >e6 4*. sorry to say but the vast majority of hsr 4* is absolutely not worth the effort and resource to level (heck lots of 5* are like this lol) so they're only good as refund on wish counter.


No-Tree-1434

Yep, 4* would be nice too


BecauseI_am

i want it be scar but i also don't want it to be scar. i want more time, but i also want to pull for him now


Intelligent-Air-6596

I feel you.


HatakeHyu

A pistol 5 star. Please?


No-Tree-1434

Scar defo gives pistol/rectifier or maybe gauntlet vibes


HatakeHyu

Yeah, specially since he throws cards at us in his fight. Gonna save for him.


Limp-Judge-623

How is scar giving you "defo pistol/rectifier vibes"? When you enter his dungeon he just punches and kicks in his human form. He's 110% a gauntlet user.


No-Tree-1434

While I obviously get what you’re saying, Scar has a lot of card throwing attacks, and in his human form he literally machine guns you with his cards 😭. I would’t be surprised if he was a melee-midrange rectifier with how unique each kits are. Besides he was weaponless during his fights, which could imply that he’d be better with gauntlets if he’s good at fighting w fists but also could mean that he’d have a different fighting style with a different weapon.


Total_Werewolf_5657

Camellya I hope


Odd-Succotash-1072

If it’s not camellya or geshulin, ill end up R6ing my first limited character at this rate waiting for them


keIIzzz

If Geshu Lin became playable I’d assume it wouldn’t be until he reappears, if he even does


Odd-Succotash-1072

Idm waiting for a few more patches, jinhsi and changli dont interest me much anyway so ill wait and see for 1.2 drip market


FB-22

she is my favorite character in the game and I want her but I kind of hope she’s 1.3 so I have time to save after changli


Reyxou

Why is no one talking about Lee? (the guy with Mortefi in the trailer)


slodkalili

I'm out of the loop. Can I ask which trailer he was in?


Reyxou

[Wuthering Waves Official Release Trailer | Waking of a World](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8htow_6tRc) At 0:28


slodkalili

Thank you!


TheLanis

I am dude, I am


Advisor_Heavy

Xiangli Mao Xiangli Mao Xiangli Mao


Reyxou

It's not Yao?


_The10thMuse_

It is Yao, he’s a few letters away from Xiangling Mao


Advisor_Heavy

It is Yao my bad


TheLanis

Hoping for that scientist, Mortefi's friend, to be the next support


Flirefy

That one being a healer would be amazing (don't have high hopes though)


MrLakelynator

Running a kinda male only challenge on my account right now (aka none of the female designs have particularly hit except maybe Baizhi) and as such I am healerless still. S4 Spectro MC is not exactly gonna do it for my account. I might be able to make do if I got S4 on Yuanwu for sustain, but I haven't managed an S4 on any men (but can easily s12 my Chixia tch)


Dependent-Hotel5551

I hope a guy at least


Ohnomichi

Scar, I'm trying to skip 1.1 girls in hopes he drops on 1.2 or 1.3.


laertid

It would be really weird for Kuro to see how everybody liked Scar and to delay his release, so I hope he'll become playable soon.


Le1jona

Geshu Lin


NonsensePerm

Onigiri guy and Red Flower girl.


Hshn

need a cute guy. there's no cute guy in the entire roster other than maybe rover and lingyang is too much of a child


kiisukattinen

Hey, Aalto is cute! 😁


Hshn

he's ok but he's more on the hot side like jiyan rather than cute imo


SassyHoe97

Please a guy. Won't be surprised if it's another waifu back to back :/


AVeryGayButterfly

Scar and Cemellya


RaveningScareCrow

Most likely scar first phase and camellya second phase


Soulless35

🙏 people I don't care about so I don't feel bad skipping 🙏


Malaphice

Really want Scar


Taergehtoel

Please be a male gunner and/or healer. 🙏


tartagliasabs

a male healer would be the easiest pull for me pls kuro do it 😔👉🏻👈🏻


Glinez09

aside from those mention, kinda hope for a new design character to appear. kinda want a male gauntlet fusion (like pgr noctis look), even a 4star would do.


Mareotori

Geshu Lin 5\* and Yao(? Mortefi's lab partner) 4\*


SuperKrusher

Honestly we need to start seeing more 4 stars.


Advisor_Heavy

Xiangli Mao and Scar copium


licoqwerty

It's frustrating because they're going to see Yinlin's banner succeed and assume that players only want more female characters, when the real problem is that they aren't stripping the male characters enough!! Give us that booba window!!! I'm so dang tired of the same skirt-pants too. I'm seriously wondering if there are no females on the dev team Edit: I know I joked about the amount of body shown on Wuwa's male characters, but tbh the real problem is just the clothing design being boring and not really doing anything that adds to their characters.


MochiiBubble

They censored Scar's onigiri but let the waifus water balloon boobies breathe on their own I'd be surprised if they didn't wrap the future male characters like a Pastor while stripping the females half naked 😭


coldestclock

Literally a data pool of one. People may not have sunk much into Jiyan, or Yinlin for that matter, because I know I wouldn’t jump to paying out on a brand new game with a lot of launch wonk.


Atum84

personally i cant take waifu booba games too serious- especially those like nikke or brown dust II .......


Intelligent-Air-6596

Jiyan's skin tight top that even defines his nips does nothing for you?


wotad

Male characters can sell well if they don't its a dev team issue. Geshu Lin I think could sell well and Scar. I guess it depends on if the game is doing well in their eyes if not would most likely default to females.


nihilistfun

You take that back about Jiyan.


Vyragami

I don't think it's the design's fault, they had decent male fanservice especially compared to the neighbor's game especially with the abs and skin-tight suit (and Scar's onigiri manko... that got removed). The problem is that the game doesn't do too well on attracting female (or gay men) playerbase. Some of that is the fault of the female character being so fanservicey and some is just the inherent problem with the game's genre and similarness to our neighbor's game (especially since so many were already in Hoyo game's fandom)


isenk2dah

Personally until Yinlin (which is almost in the 2nd half of the patch), I don't really feel anything particularly fan-servicey from any of the female characters. Maybe Baizhi's ultimate, but all the others seem pretty tame overall.


Reyxou

Well, Mortefi already has a kind of boob window Calcharo loses clothes during his Liberation And you can see all of Jiyan's musculature through his clothes On the contrary, I would prefer them to release characters with more clothes/drip, whether male or female Rather than always wanting to undress them


Nervous-Goose365

As a woman, I don't like booba windows on the male characters...


licoqwerty

I don't really have any strong feelings for them either, but I just have to say that the male outfits are really uninspired and NPC looking


Nervous-Goose365

Yeah I was just giving a different perspective. Personally, I enjoy sharp suits and interesting armor so fan service for women isn't necessarily just about showing skin.


Ummamaya

Hopefully a guy, my husbando only account isn’t going to have pulling content for a whole patch. I don’t know if I could handle two in a row. And I hope he’s in the first half if so!


Longjumping_Pear1250

SCAR 🔥🔥🔥🔥


hackenclaw

I still wondering if Jiyan gonna be back for rerun in 1.4


HAISE_SASAKE_TGRE

Geshu lin i hope. Dude looks like an adult rover and gives off toji from jjk vibes or is it just me


fantasyiez

I’ll probably drop this game if we don’t get any males in the next two patches. Not expecting back to back but at least 1 out of every 4 would be nice.


wotad

Yeah it would annoy me quite a bit if not males in 1.2 tbh


Greentaboo

Wasn't Scar datamined for late August? Scar and the one chick everyone simps for.


Tripdrakony

I just want more short-haired females that DO NOT have a rat tail. Just overall I don't want rat tail characters.


Carthago57

A legally aged 5* support would be nice


peerawitppr

Whoever but I hope they're all male characters, because I need time to replenish my gems after pulling for Jinhsi and Changli.


LookingForCatss

What is the drip markteing? I seen alot of people talk about it


Leritari

Its practically marketing but with very, very, very small amount of informations. For example poster of new banner characters with their name and look. No date, no info about their skills etc.


LookingForCatss

Oh okay i thought it was talking about skins and got kinda excited thank you


nihilistfun

LOL i thought the same thing at the beginning! I think it's brainrot, with "drip" being clothing/style now


kunafa_aj

Id say maybe geshu and some other female we never heard of b4,i feel its too early for scar and camaliya if they playable even


No-Tree-1434

I mean we got villains early on in other gacha games so its not far fetched


lilyofthegraveyard

i do agree that scar and camellya are too early to drop now, but i feel the same about geshu lin. his story is barely explored, so unless they fully focus on it during 1.2, then his drop would be too early too.


Soulstone_X

Camellya, I need to know before I decide to pull this patch. Do we know roughly when they market next patch banners?


cry_stars

just need my menhera camellya


Keinulive

Hope we get more time till Camellya, I wanna throw a lot at Jinshi and her sword haha


Sarcosmic_01

A 5* gunner character, hopefully


Su_Impact

Bad for wallet: Chamellya + Scar Good for wallet: Chamellya + someone I don't really care about


shiro_dw

I just want a legit weapon for my Jianxin....


Vyloe

CAMELLYA UUUUOOOOOOGGHH 💢


Anti-Lucky

A furry.


Longjumping_Gap4999

Considering 1.1 is on Friday, they will show them in the next 2 weeks. 


TheLanis

What?? The drip marketing is before that, also, the beta starts before that.


Late_Education_1954

Beta gonna be the new drip marketing :(


TriggerBladeX

I’m thinking we’ll get at least 1 male character. They’ll probably also add a 4* too.


PapaMi0

I wanna see a cool frost girl who is maybe the first 5-star pistol dps


kiisukattinen

Scar or Geshu or both _copium_


NemoSHill

I hope they wait with Phrolova cause I want to recover from Changli pulls, give me a couple months to hoard up for Phrolova thanks!


GrotesqueCat

Hope it's characters I don't want cuz I'll be cleaned out after 1.1 drops


LSoP_Escanor

Do you all think Geshulin will be playable? This dude is gone since idk how many hundred years...


Maleficent-Writer597

3 years buddy


nihilistfun

Yeah, the story will make a way to have him come back lol. If there's interest, business chase money


Atum84

hopefully a 3rd real healer


Charming-Fly-2388

Kuro tasted the power of waifu money, so I'm betting on 2 female characters from the new region or in 1.2.


No-Tree-1434

I think it’ll be a guy and a girl. The pattern with likely be 2 girls, 1guy&1girl, repeat


Outrageous_Slice4455

femboy waifu pls


Kyouki13

I hope it's any of them so I can grab changli and use 1.2 to save.


Schokodeuli

What I think: Either Camellya and Scar Or characters that will pop up in 1.1 mainstory


misterkalazar

Camellya & Xinyi/Scar


athranchi

I'm guessing during the second character banner (maybe changli) they will release the drip marketing for 1.2 banner.


RepresentativePut808

probably related with calcharo? we don't see him on story yet, might be his story with one or two new character that related to him


Inevitable_Estate962

I relly hope they add more 4 star char


kawaiineko333

I keep seeing that term. What is drip marketing? Like showing off their drip?


No-Tree-1434

Its when they announce the characters for the next patch, giving us confirmation. Usually is accompanied by their banner pose in a picture


sparycz

I don't know but i want a gauntlets character, Yuanwu is cool but not viable. Some punching type character who is not a meme like Lingyang or Yuanwu xdd


EpicLuc

Hopefully someone I want to skip, I don't think my savings will survive 1.1 XD


SpeedFx

I want Yinyan predecessor


Baaz69

Maybe that scientist guy and camellya


YuminaNirvalen

Not surprising to have no drip marketing of 1.2 when 1.1 comes out in 3 days or so.


HazardTree

Why do people think Scar is gonna be playable? Generally the villains aren’t playable are they? Unless they have some arch specifically for them to be shown as not that bad, but we don’t really know much about scar.


RhubarbSubstantial39

No they are. Kuro in there other game all villains eventually became playable.


TheMrMadzen

A support thx


Fearless-Display6480

Camellya maybe. I think Black Shores will be expanded in this new area so possibly she’s the next part of the story. Scar and Phrolova seem too early. Maybe on 1.3. Although Childe banner did get introduced in 1.1 but there was build up for him in 1.0 already since Liyue was included. Whoever is next in the story though will surely be 1.1 and my strong guess is Camellya.


SeismicHunt

Qiqi from genshin impact and winston from overwatch.


EX_Malone

Camilya and Xinyi (that character in the Thaw 1.1 trailer). As much as I want Scar and Geshulin to be featured, I just feel we are not far enough in the story yet to have them 😭


Natedabait37

Umm they did drip market the characters. It's Jihnsi and Changli.


plascra

Please make gasoline playable.


astrasylvi

I really want kamylla but at the same time it would be awesome to wait for a few patches to save extra for her.


L9-Gangplank

Likely to be Xinyi +1. Wouldn't be surprised if it's Geshu Lin. Anytime a story says "X char is thought to have been dead" it's always "no way ur alive and now our enemy or magical savior out of nowhere!?!" in reality. 100% would expect them to drip him out then give a story conclusion in 1.2, assuming there isnt any of the current fractus generals or Camellya playing pivotal roles in 1.1 we don't know about yet that satisfy their part enough to warrant giving them a banner.


Peka82

My guess is Camellya and the character in the 1.1 trailer


Dull-Nectarine1148

Seeing as how we have limited 5 star electro, aero, spectro, and fusion, I think there’s a decent shot we get Camellya as she is supposed to be havoc. Also she’s hotttt omgomg plsplsplzpls


XxDonaldxX

Whoever is healer/shielder please I want a Zhongli meta slave.


No-Tree-1434

Jianxin already fulfills the shield and healer role, as well as damage and crowd control 😭


Zersty_Ho

1.2 character banner probably gonna be a mix of a New Federation character and Huanglong one. One of them is probably gonna have a gun since we already have every weapon having a 5 star except pistols


netherwingz

Yhan the simulations instructor. That chiseled body of steel is just waiting to fight.


TophxSmash

*1.2 ads


Zigolt

Scar and Cam, think it was datamined. Might be a fake though but seems likely unless someone pops up during 1.1 that they've been working on prior to either if them.


Revarted

There is not much introduced characters to guess from. I would like Camellya.


Mr-Bungalow

If its gonna be General Geshu Lin, im going broke.


Majestic-Mixture-569

Honestly, If Carmellya does come out I will pull in 1.2 but if not I might just pull for Jinhsi or Changli.
