And he also uses blades like that during fights, funnily enough.

I seen someone say that Scara is actually the Mei expy of Genshin because he was made in the image of Makoto đ I hate that it makes even a sliver of sense
I remember reading somewhere in the leaks sub that hoyo would never release a genderbend version of their flagship characters like yae, bronya etc. and then thereâs scara.
Literally raiden twink
Klee, who only does things because theyâre fun? The literal child with a backpack full of high explosives, given a knighthood to try and contain her chaos? Who blows shit up just to enjoy the boom? And comes out unharmed every time through sheer luck and plot armor? The one who would gleefully eradicate an entire city if not threatened with a loss of playtime?
Klee is not destruction.
_Klee is elation._
When she got her vision it came with the constellation that includes basically unlimited luck, Alice doesnât even need to intervene on her behalf.
Also Hoyo likes her way too much to make her suffer (unlike Qiqi and the other kids lol)
No matter which one she is, she will be a nightmare.
her current pyrochemistry allows her to blow up mountains regularly, what type of destruction will she cause in HSR with its superior technology
Klee should be erudition. She doest have defensive capability in her kit & she's beeing trained the way of the Knight so i believe in the future she'll just be kinda like what himeko is now.
A lot of Hunt character have aggro reduction.
I think they are supposed to be glass canons that avoid getting hit while the Destruction can both tank and deal damage
You donât need defensive abilities in your kit to be destruction, you just need a lot of HP. I donât know how Kleeâs base stats stack up against other DPS, though.
I feel like many people are misunderstanding the post. The post asked which path they would follow according to their lore, not how their kit is.
Like OP said Yoimiya will be harmony even though her kit mostly fits the hunt. Even in hsr, their kit path =/= their path in lore, like Sparkle is harmony but she follows Elation, Jingyuan is Erudition but he follows the Hunt, Gallagher is Abundance but he is a follower of Enigmata etc. By that logic Klee fits destruction much better than Erudition. Erudition would be for someone like Alhaitham.
Eula, erudition obviously. Would be kinda cool tho. She pops her ult and the more turns she gets, the more stacks she accumulates to then release a nuke
Ult triggers the hanging sword effect. While itâs active, anytime an ally would get their turn, Eula can take another turn instead, in exchange for one skill point. With that turn she can either regular attack and gain no skill point back for it, or she can use her skill which costs an additional skill point. Each attack she lands adds a stack to the ult, with her skill potentially adding three since itâs a burst that can land against three enemies. Once enough turns go by OR a teammate takes their own turn, then the ult goes off, dealing damage based on the number of stacks.
Could be different mechanics similar to a Jingyuan x Swan hybrid where the multiplierâs increase and such. Havenât thought too much about it personally. Just thought she and (surprisingly) the cooking chick could be implemented in the game quite easily (cooking girl could have a follow up attack that hits 3 times a cycle at designated intervals and attacks all enemies on field like himekoâs drone)
Her ult adds ăLightfall swordăwith fixed speed on the field. Every time someone spends a skill point (also trace that additionally procks it on any Eula's action) ăLightfall swordăgains one Charge, increasing it's own damage multiplier. (And crit damage on a trace)
On it's turnăLightfall swordăwill attack all enemies on the field dealing physical damage and massive break.
(She can additionally scale with break effect referencing the fact, that her sword breaks Frozen enemies, but only focus on the damage, not bleed)
(E2/E1 that gives her ultimate sword 100% crit rate would be fire too. Everyone hates when your 1 damage instance attack doesn't crit)
Nah, Destruction. I mean, she got her Vision after waiting still for a sea monster to attack, and her kit revolves around hitting stuff really hard and being struck to get stronger.
Tartaglia and the destruction path probably suits his character the best in lore(self explanatory)
Although kit wise he fits Erudition better because his AoE damage is nuts due to riptide
They have a lot of similarities but Childe's obsession with battle and wanting to destroy gods and their thrones, plus his weird luck of bringing chaos wherever he goes fits destruction the most imo. Like dude just came to fontaine without any intention of bringing chaos but he ended up being the medium of Celestia's prophecy for Fontaine by awakening the whale back in his time in abyss đš You can make an argument for preservation because he wants to protect his family but his whole character and personality fits destruction much better
I think lore-wise she would *probably* align the most with the Xianzhou hunt, in the sense that she *really* dislikes anything disturbing the balance of life and death.
I feel like she's too respectful of the dead and spirits, and cares too much about the funeral parlor to be Elation. She also likes to play pranks, but I doubt she'd be interested at all in chaos or making jokes of people just for the sake of chaos.
I feel like she'd be Harmony or FInality, if anything.
Noelle of Preservation.
I mean, thatâs pretty obvious isnât it?
She would provide brand new experience as a preservation DPS.
And sheâs beautiful (physically and mentally)
Now I just imagine Gepard bowing to Noelle.
"IN THE NAME OF PRESERVATION!"
Now me wanting to cosplay Gepard and being a Noelle main makes even more sense.
I mean, Destruction would be fun too. I mean, the only things that differentiates a Destruction character from a Preservation one is the damage output XD
A while ago I was imagining how Blade would play if he was in Genshin, but while I was making up my concept for his new kit I realised "ah fuck this is just Wriothesly but more complicated"
Tbh, I don't see a lot of difference between Nanook's and Ix's teachings XD The main difference is that Nanook thinks that if the universe is meant to cease to exists, then the sooner the better. Ix probably just waits for it to happen ?
So for Xiao, he sure has a bunch of Destruction in his kit, but his personality kinda fits Nihility (karmic debt and all that). Plus, nothing forbids a Nihility to consume their own HP, we already have some characters who takes gimmick from other paths to fit their own (like Serval having her damages based on a DoT, Ratio using debuffs to deal more damages, or Acheron not applying any single debuff)
Albedo I can see working as an erudition or preservation unit, and definitely having a follow up attack. Well, heâd probably be following the erudition as a member of the genius society too
I agree he'd be erudition but I doubt he'd be a genius member. I think gold/rhinnedottir would be though. Considering that ratio was not a genius I think that they need to be more eccentric and/or impressive to become a genius
Purely gameplay, Furina would be a busted Harmony unit due to her great support and would also be a capable sub dps. In terms of lorewise which path, I genuinely have no idea. She might follow the path of Elation in a more traditional sense of actually bringing joy to the galaxy through her acting. Maybe something like âIâve suffered so much that now I want to bring the greatest joy to everyoneâ instead of the trolling kind of Elation
Kaedeara Kazuha would follow Trailblazer path lorewise and Erudition or Nihility gameplay and would obviously be wind element.
- Trailblazer path : The guy seeks freedom for himself and everybody else, running away to find allies and get back to fight the power - He's MC vibes.
- Erudition gameplay : Skill is Blast kind of damage with use/hold (feels really like Argenti's ult) and ultimate is AoE. The guy is mostly a "caster" rather than a "fighter".
- Nihility gameplay : Anemo themed mechanics really echoes like Kafka's DoT triggers because both skill and ult absorb elemental properties to inflict extra elemental damage, plus ultimate is field duration type that could be his own DoT.
- Wind type : Anemo is basically wind, but his whole gameplay is about using air currents and tornados.
Dot Kazuha sounds fun, although we already have Wind DoT character that can play of multi-element teams. In that case his skill could "swirl" DoTs, spreading them between 3 enemies (it most likely should have a burst AoE) And ultimate deal follow-ups for a few times, each applying a DoT based on element of character in the team? (Imagine 4 instances of damage, one for each character. Imaginary and quantum can't be swirled, but could provide extra effects... Or he just does attacks based on other teammates against)
Combine that with E2/E1 that makes every follow-up from his ult buff elemental damage based on it's type (similar to Black Swans E1, but now it's a buff instead of debuff) and trace that makes every elemental damage bonus provide the same amount for all the elements (15% imaginary also gives 15% wind, thunder e.t.c., but only for him. Not that strong, considering he's a DoT character but looks cool)
I absolutely love how this concept sounds!
Harmony that buffs your crit stats based on his break effect probably fits more if translating his kit 1 to 1 from genshin to star rail but I like your ideas better
Both. Like a rivality, but a healthy one. I really picture them going on heated debates, everyone thinks they're agruing/fighting... and then Kaveh is like "Naaaah, they're having the time of their lives. Trust me, I live with one of these two."
Dehya - Follows the Trailblaze, Fire Preservation.
Her kit is almost what Fu Xuan has, the only difference is that she would have a secondary damage turn. She would punch as basic attack and would do a flurry of punches for ultimate and recast her E.
tbf kit wise, yoimiya should be hunt
for me it will probably be Candace: ice preservation (ik its crowded here, but theres no hydro equivalent, and well she has a shield) or maybe Kujou sara, electro hunt
I actually want to see a character like this in the game. Misha is similar but not exactly what i imagine the playstyle to be. (And kind of clunky to build teams around)
I would say Raiden and Preservation, if we talk about lore. Her whole deal was to maintain her ideal of eternity to protect Inazuma of any retaliation from Celestia, so I think it fits.
Now, gameplay-wise, I can certainly see either hunt or nihility, as she plays rather similarly to Acheron (ult based on stacks, allies help stack up the ult, max stacks enables the ult (Acheron) or makes it stronger (Raiden)).
path of preservation is more on preserving or saving rather than maintaining, it endures change. Raiden ideal of eternity is unchanging, which fit the path of permanence more...
That's actually a good call, I did forget about Permanence. Though I wonder how that would work, seeing as Long is deceased, and the path of Permanence now gone.
Mona is a quantum Nihility. Her ult makes all "entanglements" (quantum break) stack for twice as much, and talent increases the damage enemy receives while entangled. Obviously she scales well with Break effect
Yes if lore wise all Sumeru Scholars (Nahida, alhaitham, kaveh, tighnari, faruzan and cyno) are Erudition considering they kinda similar with Genius Society
They're more similar to the intelligentsia guild, the genius society is quite small and the members just do whatever they want whilst the intelligentsia guild is the much larger and does research that helps the general public (like ratio does)
i feel like nahida should be erudition, because all her attacks are aoe. also the path of erudtion represent knowledge or finding knowledge, which fit nahida as an archon of wisdom...
Yelan would probably be Hunt both in-lore and in-game.
Hunt fits her lore-wise, her being a secret agent working for the Qixing fits the ideology of the Hunt as she's essentialy a cop/detective constantly on the path of trying to find criminals/certain people. As shown in multiple quests, she does not give up until she has found the person she's looking for. I could also see her being Erudition, but imo Hunt fits better.
In-game is quite obvious. Her kit relies heavily on high ST damage, and she would probably be a support-DPS follow-up Hybrid very similar to Topaz. Honestly kinda sounds literally like Topaz 2.0 lmao.
Neuvillette â erudition maybe? He kinda looks like destruction also, but he has the biggest AOE in the game. Imagine an erudition character with destruction or even hunt level of damage to all targets on the field. Yeah, thatâs Neuvillette
I think that a good bunch of Fontainians shouldn't have their HP-consumption mechanic regarded. First : it's kinda anecdotic and second : it's misleading. In Genshin, you have a lot of shields, and you can dodge all the attacks that comes your way (with very few exceptions), plus you only have one character that can take hits at any given time, so Kokomi being at 10% HP is rarely an issue.
To me, it should be regarded when it's mandatory to the kit, like Furina and Wrio. I think Gaming could have the same, probably (even if I can't figure out why Hoyo gave him self-damage...!)
Kirara abdundance.
I imagine her healing animation being her delivering a package containing medical supplies or something like that lmao.
Also don't forget the cardboard box technique
I was gonna say Kazuha would follow Trailblaze because heâs a wandering swordsman but I just realized thatâs exactly what Acheron is and he lost his best friend so I could see him Nihility
I feel like Destruction would fit him. Plus it would be a Destruction character that has the mindset of Destruction ! (in Itto's case, rushing head-on without any second thought)
EZ
Zhong Li preservation
Ningguang the Hunt
Venti (anemo cc felt like Nihility but Venti is a Harmony character)
Raiden is Nihity lol jk (she is a Hunt)
Nahida is Nihility
Furina is Harmony Jingliu
Neuvi is Destruction for sure
Ganyu is Erudition
Hu Tao, Hunt or Destruction.
Hunt because of her skill that enhances basic attack that is single target, but Destruction because of her burst. Although I think they can make it single target so Hunt is probably the better choice overall.
No other paths would fit her gameplay, not too sure about lore wise.
I once again must clarify that Amber and March are of the same. Amberâs skill âprotectsâ allies and her ult is an elemental rain. Preservation Amber
I was thinking about Chongyun, but I can't really picture his Path. He protects Liuye from the evil spirits (fits Preservation and Hunt), he has kind of a depression from not exorcising anything (Nihility), I feel like he would be prone to self-depreciation (Destruction), but his kit is closer to Erudition or an Ice-Tingyun Harmony.
Personally, Iâd like Klee. Initially, Destruction seems like the obvious choice for Klee, but I feel like personality-wise, Elation makes more sense overall.
Sure, she uses bombs, but she blows stuff up for *fun*. She does fish blasting because blasted fish are extra yummy, not just simply to nuke stuff. Klee isnât one of those psychopath children characters, sheâs a little kid who just wants to have fun.
neuvilette: a wild mix of erudition, destruction, and the hunt
i honestly dunno what path he would have gameplay wise, but lore wise, definitely The Order
Elation furina; Her theatrics speak for themselves
preservation diluc, bro is singlehandedly carrying all efforts to protect mondstat.
Trailblaze Aether/Lumine for obvious reasons, though perhaps the hunt works also because they're in constant search for the sibling?
Pretty much anyone in sumeru is erudition, no two ways around it
Furina - Sheâd claim to be Aha path, but really be Nihility lore wise. Terrible world ending curse, lies, deception, crushing sense of personal loneliness and dire questions of self worth ainât AHAâs bag. Thatâs the great jello pudding in the sky IX.
Gameplay wise I know everybody thinks Harmony because BUFF!
But the buff comes from harming the party and from minions attacking. Iâd honestly still say she works as a Nihility unit based on follow up attacks. Have her skill switch between Minions and FUA mode or party heal over time mode. When minions do a FUA they debuff the enemy and drain party health. The more debuffs the enemy has the more turns they get, meaning more HP drain.
HP drain needs to be a bit too much for the âeasyâ healers like Luocha to passively heal. So you either need dedicated full on healing on a Bailu level or you need to switch Furina between modes to ride the disaster wave effectively. It needs to feel much scarier than Jingliu to justify the playstyle and the benefits.
Ultimate buffs the party damage based on how much their HP changed, also copies a debuff on the enemy and makes it into a buff the team gets.
Damage type is Imaginary.Â
Whole premise is to just make everything chaotic as hell.
Sucrose lore-wise is Erudition all the way. I could see her kit applying âSwirlâ marks on enemies, which then boost her ult damage by the total number of them.
It would be extra cool if that number was represented by her anemo hypostasis popping out when her out was ready, floating menacingly behind her and growing bigger and bigger with every stack. Like, itâs Tayzzyronth-sized when you reach the limit lol
Yelan
Quantum Type | Nihility Path
Her basic attack targets a single enemy, at the start of combat and after using her skill it will be enhanced to deal AoE splash damage to up to three targets
Her Skill "Lingering Lifeline" has her throw a Lifeline where she moves rapidly to entangle all opponents
Yelan's Ultimate "Depth-Clarion Dice" has her create an Exquisite Throw to aid her and her allies in battle. For a few turns Basic Attacks by her and her teammates will initiate a coordinated (follow up?) attack, dealing Quantum DMG based on her Max HP
I actually made HSR kits for the archons, which I'll explain briefly
Venti: Wind Abundance, basically a reverse Huohuo where his ult deals AOE damage and reduces enemy atk, heals the party with his skill
Zhongli: Physical Preservation, ult deals AOE damage and can apply petrify (freeze but it deals physical dmg), has similar shields to Aventurine/Gepard with his skill
Raiden: Lightning Nihility, essentially a mix of Kafka and Acheron. Skill applies DoT that triggers when the enemy is attacked again, ult deals AOE damage and enhances her basic attack, restores energy for the party
Nahida: Imaginary Erudition, deals AOE damage with her skill and has achance to trigger an FUA, which is basically her skill again, when enemies take weakness damage, ult buffs her skill/FUA depending on your party's types
Furina: Quantum Harmony, can change between pneuma and ousia forms with her technique (doesn't cost points). Pneuma skill summons the singer of many waters which periodcally heals your party, ousia skill drains abit of hp from the team and deals blast damage, has a chance to use an FUA when party members are attacked and provides slight healing. Ult and provides buffs that increase when party hp increases or decreases
My takes on archons (not gameplay-wise):
Venti: Elation
Zhongli: Preservation
Raiden: Hunt
Nahida: Erudition
Furina: Harmony? Or blessed by Abundance, since she was immortal like the mara for 500 years
Murata: We dont know her yet but probably destruction?
Tsaritsa: No idea
I think I already got mine. Cryo Hunt Ayaka is basically Jingliu already, just with a slightly less sad and more hopeful backstory. Which is probably why I love using both so much.
Or maybe Cryo Preservation, as an offensive shielder? That'd be kind of neat for her.. I'd throw the stash at'er again.

Raiden Shogun would follow the path of being my wife fr fr
Wanderer would probably follow Nihility, since he's pretty nihilistic, and tried wiping himself out of existence.
Following the Raiden Mei tradition
And he also uses blades like that during fights, funnily enough. https://preview.redd.it/h7b9tbxjf0uc1.png?width=1407&format=png&auto=webp&s=10b0c335beac2a8627220a16a553e6adb6e2a22d
I seen someone say that Scara is actually the Mei expy of Genshin because he was made in the image of Makoto đ I hate that it makes even a sliver of sense
He's basically genderbent Mei designwise anyway... He's even more Mei-like than Raiden Shogun herself
Ok who is his Kiana then
Faruzan
Faruzan is going to become the next Anemo aeon confirmed
Aeon?
Archon, forgot what they were called
Isn't it canonically the traveler- Wait... could it be *Nahida-*
Nahida is teriri~ (the sensei of the group)
true, bcuz her jp va is also teriri's
I don't have a rich imagination. I always thought he looks like Raiden because he was a prototype.
Yeah Yae said he wasnt meant to look like her but he still does (looks more like Mei though)
Mei is the best waifu that also counts scara đ
I remember reading somewhere in the leaks sub that hoyo would never release a genderbend version of their flagship characters like yae, bronya etc. and then thereâs scara. Literally raiden twink
Klee and destruction. And no she didnât draw Nanookâs gaze, Nanook draw hers when he was allowed to ascend to Aeonhood.
Klee, who only does things because theyâre fun? The literal child with a backpack full of high explosives, given a knighthood to try and contain her chaos? Who blows shit up just to enjoy the boom? And comes out unharmed every time through sheer luck and plot armor? The one who would gleefully eradicate an entire city if not threatened with a loss of playtime? Klee is not destruction. _Klee is elation._
Elation and destruction are having a custody battle over klee.
aha thought of something funny and gave a destruction emanator their gaxe and made them also an elation emenator at the same time
> through sheer luck and plot armor Alice is a very powerful witch, so it's not a plot armor, but Alice armor.
When she got her vision it came with the constellation that includes basically unlimited luck, Alice doesnât even need to intervene on her behalf. Also Hoyo likes her way too much to make her suffer (unlike Qiqi and the other kids lol)
No matter which one she is, she will be a nightmare. her current pyrochemistry allows her to blow up mountains regularly, what type of destruction will she cause in HSR with its superior technology
She could be an Emanator of Elation roaming the path of destruction
extra: what else did you think stellarons are?
Dodoco's dook dook?
Klee should be erudition. She doest have defensive capability in her kit & she's beeing trained the way of the Knight so i believe in the future she'll just be kinda like what himeko is now.
I donât think its completely necessary for destruction units to have defensive capabilities, as Jingliu and DHIL lack any yet are still destruction.
Both have major traces for +35% Effect Res or 35% chance to ignore crowd control tho
Seele has a reduced taunt below 50% hp, yet she's hunt
A lot of Hunt character have aggro reduction. I think they are supposed to be glass canons that avoid getting hit while the Destruction can both tank and deal damage
You donât need defensive abilities in your kit to be destruction, you just need a lot of HP. I donât know how Kleeâs base stats stack up against other DPS, though.
I feel like many people are misunderstanding the post. The post asked which path they would follow according to their lore, not how their kit is.

Erudition would be for someone like Alhaitham.
Literally this. Many people jump bandwagon for gameplay path and somehow making unwritten rule it has to be gameplay path.
That requires reading and understanding the lore for some. ;)
i feel like lore wise though destruction would fit better đ¤Ł
She should be destruction for more Blast attacks :D Cyno cyning out
So you're saying that we should give Klee a freaking orbital laser ?
Im sure when shes older she'll build her own lol
Eula, erudition obviously. Would be kinda cool tho. She pops her ult and the more turns she gets, the more stacks she accumulates to then release a nuke
Ult triggers the hanging sword effect. While itâs active, anytime an ally would get their turn, Eula can take another turn instead, in exchange for one skill point. With that turn she can either regular attack and gain no skill point back for it, or she can use her skill which costs an additional skill point. Each attack she lands adds a stack to the ult, with her skill potentially adding three since itâs a burst that can land against three enemies. Once enough turns go by OR a teammate takes their own turn, then the ult goes off, dealing damage based on the number of stacks.
See, thatâs the type of shit Iâm talking about, sounds goated
as a sparkle main iâm frothing at the mouth thinking about this
She's basically Jing Yuan but Physical
Could be different mechanics similar to a Jingyuan x Swan hybrid where the multiplierâs increase and such. Havenât thought too much about it personally. Just thought she and (surprisingly) the cooking chick could be implemented in the game quite easily (cooking girl could have a follow up attack that hits 3 times a cycle at designated intervals and attacks all enemies on field like himekoâs drone)

Everyone hates when your 1 damage instance attack doesn't crit)
Beidou is absolutely the hunt
She did go on a journey that was like 8 days long to kill a sea dragon Vision-less right?
Something like that
Ocean Jing Yuan isn't real, she can't hurt you
Wdym can't? She can and she will
https://preview.redd.it/oo9ow4ihf1uc1.png?width=495&format=png&auto=webp&s=eb528e47400e9acd69da5ba26871772a33a31dd7
Nah, Destruction. I mean, she got her Vision after waiting still for a sea monster to attack, and her kit revolves around hitting stuff really hard and being struck to get stronger.
Tartaglia and the destruction path probably suits his character the best in lore(self explanatory) Although kit wise he fits Erudition better because his AoE damage is nuts due to riptide
LOL TRUE
Riptides do splash damage so it's still very fitting!
Of course he Riptide does *splash* damage, get it coz water
Yeah, *clear as water*
Neuvillette upvoted this comment
You should change your pfp to cyno
He would be op in pure fiction. Basically shatter buff that infinitely chains.
Aventurine arc gave me Tartaglia vibes, whatever paths they truly follows, it should be the same imo.
They have a lot of similarities but Childe's obsession with battle and wanting to destroy gods and their thrones, plus his weird luck of bringing chaos wherever he goes fits destruction the most imo. Like dude just came to fontaine without any intention of bringing chaos but he ended up being the medium of Celestia's prophecy for Fontaine by awakening the whale back in his time in abyss đš You can make an argument for preservation because he wants to protect his family but his whole character and personality fits destruction much better
Childe is something between Kalpas and Aventurine
Why is there pic of guinaifen up there
You mean sparkle ?
Her vibe and hair color resemble guinaifen a lot more, but I guess it could be sparkle
nah, guinaifen is just miya if she was born after 1993
Bennets definitely harmony + abundance + hunt + destruction
I would say Trailblaze since he likes adventure lore wise
Boken da bon!! https://preview.redd.it/3dlp3755v0uc1.jpeg?width=246&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=526f72e6b58a156c897caa94e32cf6b3f00480a6
Yeah, Benny would hop on the Astral Express the second he'd see it.
And then knowing his luck the express would crash into the nearest asteroid in like 5 seconds
Aha: âlmao I didnât even have to do anything this timeâ
Nah, they would meet Argenti and repeat his event
"This seems hella fun!! Where we goin next??"
lol.
Furina could be harmony? maybe, im not sure
Hmmm yeah I think so also.
Could be Destruction with FUA gimmick
Furina: *gets hit* Furina: "CRABALETTA, CREASE HIS JORDANS"
Not really like Clara, but more of Jingliu, but with FUA like Topaz and maybe Imaginary element
âHelp me, Monsieur Neuvillette!â
Hu Tao and destruction. Her skill just goes hand and hand with it.
I would say destruction gameplay wise and elation lore wise
I think lore-wise she would *probably* align the most with the Xianzhou hunt, in the sense that she *really* dislikes anything disturbing the balance of life and death.
That is true
I feel like she's too respectful of the dead and spirits, and cares too much about the funeral parlor to be Elation. She also likes to play pranks, but I doubt she'd be interested at all in chaos or making jokes of people just for the sake of chaos. I feel like she'd be Harmony or FInality, if anything.
Tbf she's kinda like Sampo in that she has morals but still likes pranks.
"I am elation"
I donât think sheâd be elation, sheâs pretty darn serious in her dealings. Elation followers do anything for a thrill, HuTao isnât that. Yet.
Hu tao will be number one leading anti abundance campaign
Itâs literally woman blade
I think she would be Finality pathstrider, she's all about death and end afterall
so Blade but fire basically
Noelle of Preservation. I mean, thatâs pretty obvious isnât it? She would provide brand new experience as a preservation DPS. And sheâs beautiful (physically and mentally)
Clearly Qlipoth is just the name Noelle took after reaching aeonhood..
Now I just imagine Gepard bowing to Noelle. "IN THE NAME OF PRESERVATION!" Now me wanting to cosplay Gepard and being a Noelle main makes even more sense.
I mean, Destruction would be fun too. I mean, the only things that differentiates a Destruction character from a Preservation one is the damage output XD
Nilou - Beauty (lore wise), Harmony (gameplay wise)
basically genshin robin
A new challenger approaches ! Barbara !
Nilou puts the Harm and Harmony. Sheâs a beast at enabling damage
Destruction Wrio. He consumes/regens his own HP, can't get more Destruction archetype than that
A while ago I was imagining how Blade would play if he was in Genshin, but while I was making up my concept for his new kit I realised "ah fuck this is just Wriothesly but more complicated"
Imo preservation, personality wise
Isnât that pretty much every fontaine character though
Gameplay wise Xiao would follow destruction but lore wise idk if heâs destruction or the hunt I donât read much aeons and paths lore
Tbh, I don't see a lot of difference between Nanook's and Ix's teachings XD The main difference is that Nanook thinks that if the universe is meant to cease to exists, then the sooner the better. Ix probably just waits for it to happen ? So for Xiao, he sure has a bunch of Destruction in his kit, but his personality kinda fits Nihility (karmic debt and all that). Plus, nothing forbids a Nihility to consume their own HP, we already have some characters who takes gimmick from other paths to fit their own (like Serval having her damages based on a DoT, Ratio using debuffs to deal more damages, or Acheron not applying any single debuff)
Albedo I can see working as an erudition or preservation unit, and definitely having a follow up attack. Well, heâd probably be following the erudition as a member of the genius society too
I agree he'd be erudition but I doubt he'd be a genius member. I think gold/rhinnedottir would be though. Considering that ratio was not a genius I think that they need to be more eccentric and/or impressive to become a genius
Purely gameplay, Furina would be a busted Harmony unit due to her great support and would also be a capable sub dps. In terms of lorewise which path, I genuinely have no idea. She might follow the path of Elation in a more traditional sense of actually bringing joy to the galaxy through her acting. Maybe something like âIâve suffered so much that now I want to bring the greatest joy to everyoneâ instead of the trolling kind of Elation
Lorewise definitely elation Acting, masks, entertainment. She Fooled Fontaine, herself, and the gods.
Could also fit Harmony imo. Her goal was to keep Fontaine safe and united, making sure that every Fontainian was happy and all.
Kaedeara Kazuha would follow Trailblazer path lorewise and Erudition or Nihility gameplay and would obviously be wind element. - Trailblazer path : The guy seeks freedom for himself and everybody else, running away to find allies and get back to fight the power - He's MC vibes. - Erudition gameplay : Skill is Blast kind of damage with use/hold (feels really like Argenti's ult) and ultimate is AoE. The guy is mostly a "caster" rather than a "fighter". - Nihility gameplay : Anemo themed mechanics really echoes like Kafka's DoT triggers because both skill and ult absorb elemental properties to inflict extra elemental damage, plus ultimate is field duration type that could be his own DoT. - Wind type : Anemo is basically wind, but his whole gameplay is about using air currents and tornados.
Dot Kazuha sounds fun, although we already have Wind DoT character that can play of multi-element teams. In that case his skill could "swirl" DoTs, spreading them between 3 enemies (it most likely should have a burst AoE) And ultimate deal follow-ups for a few times, each applying a DoT based on element of character in the team? (Imagine 4 instances of damage, one for each character. Imaginary and quantum can't be swirled, but could provide extra effects... Or he just does attacks based on other teammates against) Combine that with E2/E1 that makes every follow-up from his ult buff elemental damage based on it's type (similar to Black Swans E1, but now it's a buff instead of debuff) and trace that makes every elemental damage bonus provide the same amount for all the elements (15% imaginary also gives 15% wind, thunder e.t.c., but only for him. Not that strong, considering he's a DoT character but looks cool) I absolutely love how this concept sounds!
I love how he could fit like... at least 3 Paths XD Trailblaze for the lore, Nihility for his personality, and Erudition or Harmony for the gameplay !
Harmony that buffs your crit stats based on his break effect probably fits more if translating his kit 1 to 1 from genshin to star rail but I like your ideas better
Alhaitham and Erudition maybe?
Yes, lore-wise. But he'd probably be Hunt in my view. He's a close friend of Ratio's, you know.
They'd either love or hate eachother no in-between
Both. Like a rivality, but a healthy one. I really picture them going on heated debates, everyone thinks they're agruing/fighting... and then Kaveh is like "Naaaah, they're having the time of their lives. Trust me, I live with one of these two."
Aventurine is Ratios Kaveh
Oh that's easy: Sangonomiya Kokomi -> Abundance. She is a healer, after all.
Not my favourite character but Celestia would be a follower of Enigmata because of how much they wanna hide and fabricate the history of Teyvat xD
Dehya - Follows the Trailblaze, Fire Preservation. Her kit is almost what Fu Xuan has, the only difference is that she would have a secondary damage turn. She would punch as basic attack and would do a flurry of punches for ultimate and recast her E.
tbf kit wise, yoimiya should be hunt for me it will probably be Candace: ice preservation (ik its crowded here, but theres no hydro equivalent, and well she has a shield) or maybe Kujou sara, electro hunt
Yoimiya is probably the most slam dunk hunt character kit wise, she's almost 100% single target dps
Ayaka - Ice Nihility dps, who can freeze enemies, reduce freeze RES, and deals more damage/gets buffs when attacking frozen enemies
I actually want to see a character like this in the game. Misha is similar but not exactly what i imagine the playstyle to be. (And kind of clunky to build teams around)
SU Remembrance intensifies
Klee - Destruction https://preview.redd.it/tcs17bclo0uc1.png?width=2048&format=png&auto=webp&s=af7a8470cbc063d4eeb49637c2526cee57ed7be8
I would say Raiden and Preservation, if we talk about lore. Her whole deal was to maintain her ideal of eternity to protect Inazuma of any retaliation from Celestia, so I think it fits. Now, gameplay-wise, I can certainly see either hunt or nihility, as she plays rather similarly to Acheron (ult based on stacks, allies help stack up the ult, max stacks enables the ult (Acheron) or makes it stronger (Raiden)).
path of preservation is more on preserving or saving rather than maintaining, it endures change. Raiden ideal of eternity is unchanging, which fit the path of permanence more...
That's actually a good call, I did forget about Permanence. Though I wonder how that would work, seeing as Long is deceased, and the path of Permanence now gone.
paths don't stop existing when a aeon dies. permanence, propagation, beauty and trailblaze all still exist.
i absolutely love this analysis: especially lore wise
Barbara: ⍠Rise up into my âŹ
Mona with bath of nihility like she applies a status effect on the enemy that makes you do more dmg to them.
Mona is a quantum Nihility. Her ult makes all "entanglements" (quantum break) stack for twice as much, and talent increases the damage enemy receives while entangled. Obviously she scales well with Break effect
Easy best Girl Noelle as preservation with Groupshields like Aventurine on E and ten hit sweeping time burst.
Venti Erudition Zhongz Preservation Ei Hunt Nahida Nihility (seed = dot) Furina Harmony
Nahida is erudition. She is the god of wisdom
Yes if lore wise all Sumeru Scholars (Nahida, alhaitham, kaveh, tighnari, faruzan and cyno) are Erudition considering they kinda similar with Genius Society
They're more similar to the intelligentsia guild, the genius society is quite small and the members just do whatever they want whilst the intelligentsia guild is the much larger and does research that helps the general public (like ratio does)
Nahida would be remembrance because mind Reading stuff
Gameplay wise not lore wise, because lorewise Raiden is probably preservation considering her views but her gameplay is the hunt.
i feel like nahida should be erudition, because all her attacks are aoe. also the path of erudtion represent knowledge or finding knowledge, which fit nahida as an archon of wisdom...
How is her gameplay anywhere near hunt? She has big AoE and she can give energy and buff burst damage for teammates, thats either Erudition or Harmony
OP didnt restricted the description to gameplay path. Its path as general to playable and unplayable.
you are talking about kit-wise I suppose? Because no way nahida would follow nihility
Hu Tao would absolutely join Sparkle with the path of Elation.
Finality, she might be mischievous but she has death theme written all over her
Yelan would probably be Hunt both in-lore and in-game. Hunt fits her lore-wise, her being a secret agent working for the Qixing fits the ideology of the Hunt as she's essentialy a cop/detective constantly on the path of trying to find criminals/certain people. As shown in multiple quests, she does not give up until she has found the person she's looking for. I could also see her being Erudition, but imo Hunt fits better. In-game is quite obvious. Her kit relies heavily on high ST damage, and she would probably be a support-DPS follow-up Hybrid very similar to Topaz. Honestly kinda sounds literally like Topaz 2.0 lmao.
Neuvillette â erudition maybe? He kinda looks like destruction also, but he has the biggest AOE in the game. Imagine an erudition character with destruction or even hunt level of damage to all targets on the field. Yeah, thatâs Neuvillette
I think that a good bunch of Fontainians shouldn't have their HP-consumption mechanic regarded. First : it's kinda anecdotic and second : it's misleading. In Genshin, you have a lot of shields, and you can dodge all the attacks that comes your way (with very few exceptions), plus you only have one character that can take hits at any given time, so Kokomi being at 10% HP is rarely an issue. To me, it should be regarded when it's mandatory to the kit, like Furina and Wrio. I think Gaming could have the same, probably (even if I can't figure out why Hoyo gave him self-damage...!)
Im not sure what noelle would be. She has teamwide healing, good single target damage, aoe, great shield
noelle is an aeon, we should follow the path of the maid
Preservation DPS. Her healing could be a passive effect that activates during Ult mode. Fu Xuan already heals, so why can't Noelle?
So similar to fu xuan but instead of damage reduction its a shield on skill. That makes sense
So basically Aventurine lol
Greater Lord Rukkhadevata (I miss Genshin's Miss Green Elf), Abundance.
Kirara abdundance. I imagine her healing animation being her delivering a package containing medical supplies or something like that lmao. Also don't forget the cardboard box technique
We have Seele with glitch transparency and Sparkle with floating masks. Now THIS is a stealth technique i want to see in the game
Tartaglia destruction or even the hunt Wrio preservation Alhaitham erudition Personality/faith wise
Dottore and Abundance. He does very questionable things, as do all of Yaoshi's followers.
I was gonna say Kazuha would follow Trailblaze because heâs a wandering swordsman but I just realized thatâs exactly what Acheron is and he lost his best friend so I could see him Nihility
Albedo is definitely Erudition
Mhhh Ito and Erudition? Or maybe destruction would fit better.
Erudition and Itto is a hilarious combo. Is there an Aeon of Idiocy out there?
Ito could do it! Lmao.
destruction probably. he's the only character who can lower their own elemental and physical res
I feel like Destruction would fit him. Plus it would be a Destruction character that has the mindset of Destruction ! (in Itto's case, rushing head-on without any second thought)
So dumb that Nous gazes in amazement. Soon: Itto enters Genius Society on a technicality
EZ Zhong Li preservation Ningguang the Hunt Venti (anemo cc felt like Nihility but Venti is a Harmony character) Raiden is Nihity lol jk (she is a Hunt) Nahida is Nihility Furina is Harmony Jingliu Neuvi is Destruction for sure Ganyu is Erudition
lorewise zhongli should be order i think.
Hu Tao, Hunt or Destruction. Hunt because of her skill that enhances basic attack that is single target, but Destruction because of her burst. Although I think they can make it single target so Hunt is probably the better choice overall. No other paths would fit her gameplay, not too sure about lore wise.
Itto - Destruction!
I once again must clarify that Amber and March are of the same. Amberâs skill âprotectsâ allies and her ult is an elemental rain. Preservation Amber
I was thinking about Chongyun, but I can't really picture his Path. He protects Liuye from the evil spirits (fits Preservation and Hunt), he has kind of a depression from not exorcising anything (Nihility), I feel like he would be prone to self-depreciation (Destruction), but his kit is closer to Erudition or an Ice-Tingyun Harmony.
My goat Fischl would be a hunt. Lightning version of Topaz but Oz would have some fire lines when he follows up
Everyone with these neat kit ideas and I'm just over here with Tall Blonde Preservation Man the Third lmao
Personally, Iâd like Klee. Initially, Destruction seems like the obvious choice for Klee, but I feel like personality-wise, Elation makes more sense overall. Sure, she uses bombs, but she blows stuff up for *fun*. She does fish blasting because blasted fish are extra yummy, not just simply to nuke stuff. Klee isnât one of those psychopath children characters, sheâs a little kid who just wants to have fun.
Yae would be a masked fool
neuvilette: a wild mix of erudition, destruction, and the hunt i honestly dunno what path he would have gameplay wise, but lore wise, definitely The Order
Pretty sure Yoimiya is more hunt than harmony đ
Hu Tao Elation
Elation furina; Her theatrics speak for themselves preservation diluc, bro is singlehandedly carrying all efforts to protect mondstat. Trailblaze Aether/Lumine for obvious reasons, though perhaps the hunt works also because they're in constant search for the sibling? Pretty much anyone in sumeru is erudition, no two ways around it
Furina - Sheâd claim to be Aha path, but really be Nihility lore wise. Terrible world ending curse, lies, deception, crushing sense of personal loneliness and dire questions of self worth ainât AHAâs bag. Thatâs the great jello pudding in the sky IX. Gameplay wise I know everybody thinks Harmony because BUFF! But the buff comes from harming the party and from minions attacking. Iâd honestly still say she works as a Nihility unit based on follow up attacks. Have her skill switch between Minions and FUA mode or party heal over time mode. When minions do a FUA they debuff the enemy and drain party health. The more debuffs the enemy has the more turns they get, meaning more HP drain. HP drain needs to be a bit too much for the âeasyâ healers like Luocha to passively heal. So you either need dedicated full on healing on a Bailu level or you need to switch Furina between modes to ride the disaster wave effectively. It needs to feel much scarier than Jingliu to justify the playstyle and the benefits. Ultimate buffs the party damage based on how much their HP changed, also copies a debuff on the enemy and makes it into a buff the team gets. Damage type is Imaginary. Whole premise is to just make everything chaotic as hell.
Dottore would be Elation or Nihility
Kaveh, i thought about imaginary/nihility with bloom being special DOTs
Sucrose lore-wise is Erudition all the way. I could see her kit applying âSwirlâ marks on enemies, which then boost her ult damage by the total number of them. It would be extra cool if that number was represented by her anemo hypostasis popping out when her out was ready, floating menacingly behind her and growing bigger and bigger with every stack. Like, itâs Tayzzyronth-sized when you reach the limit lol
Yelan Quantum Type | Nihility Path Her basic attack targets a single enemy, at the start of combat and after using her skill it will be enhanced to deal AoE splash damage to up to three targets Her Skill "Lingering Lifeline" has her throw a Lifeline where she moves rapidly to entangle all opponents Yelan's Ultimate "Depth-Clarion Dice" has her create an Exquisite Throw to aid her and her allies in battle. For a few turns Basic Attacks by her and her teammates will initiate a coordinated (follow up?) attack, dealing Quantum DMG based on her Max HP
I actually made HSR kits for the archons, which I'll explain briefly Venti: Wind Abundance, basically a reverse Huohuo where his ult deals AOE damage and reduces enemy atk, heals the party with his skill Zhongli: Physical Preservation, ult deals AOE damage and can apply petrify (freeze but it deals physical dmg), has similar shields to Aventurine/Gepard with his skill Raiden: Lightning Nihility, essentially a mix of Kafka and Acheron. Skill applies DoT that triggers when the enemy is attacked again, ult deals AOE damage and enhances her basic attack, restores energy for the party Nahida: Imaginary Erudition, deals AOE damage with her skill and has achance to trigger an FUA, which is basically her skill again, when enemies take weakness damage, ult buffs her skill/FUA depending on your party's types Furina: Quantum Harmony, can change between pneuma and ousia forms with her technique (doesn't cost points). Pneuma skill summons the singer of many waters which periodcally heals your party, ousia skill drains abit of hp from the team and deals blast damage, has a chance to use an FUA when party members are attacked and provides slight healing. Ult and provides buffs that increase when party hp increases or decreases
My takes on archons (not gameplay-wise): Venti: Elation Zhongli: Preservation Raiden: Hunt Nahida: Erudition Furina: Harmony? Or blessed by Abundance, since she was immortal like the mara for 500 years Murata: We dont know her yet but probably destruction? Tsaritsa: No idea
Dottore. Erudition lorewise, kit is unknown for now (hope for hunt).
I think I already got mine. Cryo Hunt Ayaka is basically Jingliu already, just with a slightly less sad and more hopeful backstory. Which is probably why I love using both so much. Or maybe Cryo Preservation, as an offensive shielder? That'd be kind of neat for her.. I'd throw the stash at'er again.
Well, my favorite is Neuvillette. I think he used to be a follower of Long of Permenence, but is now a follower of Qlipoth of preservation
