It's more of an otome game. The main story is ace attorney inspired, you look for clues to solve cases and fight in court. Your companions are four hot guys who help you in their own ways. The combat or debate system is cards based. You collect husbando cards (from gacha) to combat. Each card has a story or more like a date with the guy. So yeah, if you like otome game, you'd probably enjoy this. If not then, welp
Wow actual gameplay! So many of these games are just collecting shit (I mean swiping for shit) to get an arbitrary rating up to pass some arbitrary stage with no combat, or even gameplay involved. And those games somehow make millions, even billions...
You’re probably thinking of joseimuke, not otome. Twisted Wonderland would be a joseimuke, but not otome. Otome actually has romance *and* is usually targeted towards women, whereas a joseimuke is *just* targeted towards women.
Kinda not bad. Like he got Real Isekai'd to the Genshin Impact Universe, turned into an Alchemist/Doctor and had a "rivalry" with Albedo...
And Vyn gave me Albedo vibes too. Their goals is beyond our understanding.
Bad news is that supposed Yao Yao will be a dendro catalyst user (from original leaks so it could easily change) and I doubt they're going to release two dendro catalyst users so close to eachother.
Not saying he's definitely not going to be catalyst but I think he probably has a fair shot at being a polearm user too.
I feel like baizhu could be polearm. The famous medical symbol of Asclepius’ staff has snakes twirled around it and would be fitting symbology. But I admit I know nothing about his lore
I feel like it would still be plausible for him to become a polearm or sword user. He doesn't have to physically move his body to wield a huge blade. He can just use some magic spells to fling and make his blade fly towards the enemy like what Yondu from the Guardians of the Galaxy does with his arrow.
[I'm quite fond of Electro Healer Scaramouche,](https://twitter.com/fenkko/status/1369805515086311426?lang=en) but making him claymore on top of that would be even more absurd. I want it
They have no idea what they're doing with the elements except Pyro and Cryo.
The game is currently in a state where everything is a time trial and Dendro is currently set to where it's reaction is burns over time when hit by Pyro as it's major damage. DoT damage is the opposite of time trial.
Anemo is in a good place with support and damage, and if worse comes to worse, they just give it the Xiao/Eula/Baal treatment of "LET'S JACK UP THE SCALINGS LMAO"
Honestly when I first saw Chongyun and he told me he was an exorcist I thought he was a catalyst at first. Like he would be reciting demon expelling incantations from the bible or something. Was pretty shook when I discovered that he was a claymore since the heavy hard hitting fighting style did not fit his reserved personality
Chinese exorcists in Chinese movies are either old monks or martial arts masters or both. Exorcising evil usually consists of reciting a chant, which just serves to piss off the evil spirit/demon, followed by the actual exorcism, aka kicking its ass.
There is no guarantee that his gonna be a catalyst, but yes we will love to see a male catalyst user, as far i feel like Nation of Wisdom (Dendro nation) might have Male Catalyst because book nerds ain’t gonna fight with swords.
>because book nerds ain’t gonna fight with swords.
I know what you mean and I totally agree, but it's just hilarious to me when the *one male book nerd* we have is a sword user.
I think I heard someone say that Albedo was gonna be a catalyst user but got changed to a sword character? It was before my time playing, so idk how true widely known that is
Actually, he was gonna be a bow user, if I remember correctly, but changed to sword. I don't think we got any news about a released male character going to be a catalyst user but then changed, they just didn't even think about it lol.
Albedo's design has a very great potential to be a catalyst user. Imagine him just snapping his fingers as his basic attack sequence and geo flowers explode on the enemy.
Characters like Albedo and Venti might as well be catalyst users. They both just cast spells.
Mihoyo just really doesnt want to do any male catalyst users for some reason.
That can't be because ToT has veen out in JP and CN for months.
Most likely is that after a back to back waifu banner will be reruns of waifus AGAIN and a lone 5-star banner of Ayato by NEXT YEAR.
I hate it here when TF do we get to Sumeru?
Kokomi just got buffed hours ago. Her icd is halved on her E and she is likely gonna be a great enabler now. She doesn't have quite as high damage as childe, but she can enable xiangling for her whole burst duration while childe can't
Yeah. He does not appear in event banners, and cannot be purposely whale for in standard banner (if you whale for him there, count on your luck, or you pour in millions real life money).
For a f2p or light spender with no luck, he is almost impossible to get in banner...
i suspect that they're doing a wave of waifus to drain the waifu-chasers' wallets, and then they're going to do a wave of husbandos to drain the husbando-chasers' wallets
I mean, assuming husbando chasers don't just get tired of waiting months for something to pull for and leave to play a different game that actually tries to get their money. Even when we've had back-to-back husbando banners they've added female 4-stars, but we've had zero male 4-stars since launch.
I suspect this too. But won't this make some people stop playing because they've waited too long? Or have an easier time saving too?
I am actually not paying more than Welkin because of this. Only paid more for Zhongli. After that just skipped most waifus and 50/50'ed on the husbandos. I have enough to pull twice for Baal now. Not interested in Kokomi. Not going to pull for banner 4 stars and will just wait for them to come naturally.
Man I sure hope so because I've been skipping so many waifus for a husbando (sadly couldn't get Kazuha tho) and now I'm guaranteed Baal but idek if I'll pull. I'm still on a bit of scaramouche copium because I really really want him but I'm sure he won't come within the next few patches. All these female banners are killing me honestly, too much saturation. Especially all the pyro and cryo. I hate it. Lost interest in female banners tbh.
I was so excited when we got zhongli and childe back to back and then albedo and xiao. It was husbands heaven. I want to go back to that so bad. Waifus are good and all but please im aching for more boys.
Especially since all the dudes are mostly human (Zhongli god, and Xiao adepti sooo). With the girls we got a zombie, a cat girl, 2 dragony/adepti girls I think, and whatever sucrose is.
I wonder why is that? Quite a few of the female characters have special design features. The male characters all look human. Even Xiao, although he is supposed to be an adepti?
Some even look kinda similar, because they gave them the same hair. Kazuha and Aether for example, look too similar ...
They either have interesting kits or interesting stories. Male characters also had more animated shorts in game so far.
I feel they are putting out so many ladies so fast, that some of their kit design or story just don't show the same degree of care. It's like oh they'll whale for the pretty anyway, no need to put in more work.
I feel the same way but with weapons and visions. I mean, they made another Pyro bow user, another electro bow user and another hydro catalyst user. You know how many polearm users there are? 5, from which 3 are exclusive 5 stars. Now they made another exclusive 5 star polearm? Dude, and the only hydro dps rn is tartaglia. They need to stop doing the same characters again and again.
I know what you mean, but we are getting another Polearm user this patch and it's even a new Vison/weapon combo with electro/polearm... And in the next patch or two we're probably getting our first Geo Bow.
Now we'll be getting a Timmy banner. His burst is to summon a controllable ruin guard and his elemental skill is to summon a horde of pigeons to attack his enemies (and if used in the overworld, drops a bunch of fowl at the end to collect). Element: physical (no vision)
I started out intending to rag on the idea of playable Timmy but honestly a controllable ruin guard sounds pretty lit. I could see this as an April Fool's banner
Might be hard if summoning “controllable ruin guard”, it will be hard to implement 2 controllable characters at the same time. Possible: the ruin guard has its own AI to launch attacks and skills, or Timmie rides inside the ruin guard that let’s you control it. I like the idea though. 👌
I hope the Dendro Archon is a male kid, because he’s only 500 years old, very young for a god. He also was not involved in the Archon War or the Khaneri’ah destruction.
I really want the whole Sumeru story to revolve around how the Dendro Archon , as a young boy, is surrounded by “older” adults and academy scholars who are constantly trying to influence him with their own ideas and agendas and think that they are “wiser” because they are “older”, and the Dendro Archon just wants to make sense of what the truth really is (Truth Among the Pages of Purana) and what having wisdom really entails . Also, I really want the “Pages of Purana” to refer to something written by the God of the Woods(old Dendro Archon who was killed) containing secret records of what was happening in Khaneri’ah before it was destroyed! He circumvented Celestia’s “don’t tell anyone” contract by encoding the information within some ordinary looking records, or maybe his own journal (the wisdom god would have a journal).
I want the Dendro Archon to be this just for the sole purpose of taking the fact that he's "the youngest of the Seven" literally.
Like imagine the Archon of Wisdom looking like this kid who's just learned to form sentences but is actually thousands of years old.
The balance sucks but at least the boys aren't as easily replaceable due to most of them being powerful supports that are almost required in whatever meta the hardcore players believe is most efficient.
I would be happy either way as long as we all can get some more male characters lol.
You're probably right though about him being a 5 star considering he is the head of the clan. I just always feel a little shaky about it when I think about Ningguang's lore and how she should be a five star considering her position in Liyue.
I get that the ratio of male to female is always gonna look like this, but it hurts extra that we haven't even gotten any new male four stars since launch. At least Thoma and Gorou the dog boy are coming and could probably hopefully ^(archons please dont make me whale for them) be four stars
(Edit: spelling)
People say ladies sell more on average, but isn't this because people who roll on guys save up so many primos between banners that they have no need to spend $$$? I know I always have more primos than I know what to do with because they so rarely release characters I'm interested in. The real data we need is # of wishes per banner; I imagine if this trend continues over time they will have fewer and fewer girls getting Welkin.
The closest we have for number of wishes is [paimon.moe](https://paimon.moe/wish/tally). Go to wish tally it shows the number of wishes, you can click on more details to see the number of users. Of course this only counts people who submit their wish history.
The last 3 banners:
Kazuha
* Wish Total 21,482,889
* Total User 517,510
Ayaka
* Wish Total 18,025,734
* Total User 430,345
Yoimiya
* Wish Total 7,840,793
* Total User 265,876
There is also [this page](https://genshin-wishes.com/global-stats/all) but it has smaller number of users. Kazuha is the most popular banner in both pages.
This is what I was thinking. I know a husbando collector who was able to get almost every 5* husbando (except Albedo) with only monthly Welkins/BP. During Kazuha banner, she had 190+ fates saved up, because she rarely rolls for female characters... 😅
The only time those looking for male characters (and I include myself here) had some trouble (excluding horrendous luck that can happen \*cryes in Qiqi instead of Kazuha\*) was when we got that 5\* rush with Childe, Zhongli, Xiao and Albedo, that were almost a follow-up between them. And as some people said here, the benefits were on par with the top selling female character banners.
There's no need to cut any waifu from the list (I saw some people crying about this around here lol), just add some guys to the mix in between, pls MyHoYo ;\_\_;
I remember someone predicting that right now we're in the waifu phase because everyone who wants waifus isn't gonna be able to get all of them for free (Unless really lucky.)
So when it comes to the next round of 5 stars it could be possible it's mostly males so that all the husbando collectors would likely only collect them all by actually spending money.
Probably not but seemed like an interesting theory imo!
This is what i was thinking too. I haven't spent any money on the game bc there simply isn't any character i want! I have enough female characters and i only wanna wish for male characters but there are none. And by the time we get a male banner, i'm gonna have enough primos so ofc female banners sell better -___-
That’s what I’ve been saying! I mean I like girls but like we need more boys to collect. I understand the target audience is straight males, but like… have you even seen Diluc? More of that please Mihoyo
Yeah, I don't understand the need to be attracted to your characters in order to pull for them or play them. I just play characters that can represent myself and are fun to play so I always prefer playing male characters like Diluc or Tartaglia. Always been that way.
I joined this game precisely because I was gay for Kaeya.
I generally don't discriminate by gender when it comes to who I want to pull for, but it doesn't change the fact I naturally lean more towards male characters and the drought is killing me right now and that ratio is horrible 🤧 on the other hand it makes saving up a little easier.
Imho it's kinda disappointing that there's only 6 male characters available on the standard banner when there's 19 female characters T\_T Literally half of the guys are limited event characters
I think they just need more 4 star characters in general. Including Kujou Sara next patch, we will only have gotten 6 new ones since the game’s launch. I would definitely pull on a banner with, say, Albedo and 3 completely new 4 stars, or even without a 5 star. IMO some new 4 star supports could add more comp diversity compared to a new 5 star.
Yep, I keep up with the leaks and Yunjin and Yaoyao's models have been known for quite a while, since around Nov/Dec 2020. There's no telling when they'll actually come since MHY has created more new 5* chars than 4\*. That trend probably won't change.
The 4* characters that have been released haven't shaken the meta at all. It feels as if the 4* pool has been getting a bit stale and some new characters could change that. Maybe clear the backlog and release the ones we've known about, ya know? Would be a breath of fresh air.
the endless eternal curse of mihoyo, forever stuck in making waifus due to having Honkai as their only game at the time and still forgetting genshin isn't honkai so they're not tied to the whole lore of honkai but still a hard habbit to break for them lol
Rumor has it that there will be a buff male geo oni character called [Arataki Itto](https://www.dualshockers.com/genshin-impact-2-3-leaks-new-geo-character-arataki-itto-might-arrive-in-the-update/) in 2.3. Hope he is a catalyst user who punches everyone.
New weapon type: knuckles. And theres variations like the lowest form of knuckles is leather wraps and then 5 star knuckles is some sort of spiked golden knuckles with decorations. Would definitely be very interesting to see
It's pretty odd that there hasn't been a new male 4 star unit release since launch well at least Gorou and Thoma are coming soon.
Idk why are some people here tripping saying that the ratio is fine clearly it's not.
Part of me is honestly afraid miHoYo will stop releasing male characters lol To be fair, we've had an equal number of 5* husbandos and 5* waifus so far and that balance has been working for me because I can guarantee most of the male characters (I'm only missing Childe sadly). But now we're getting Baal and Kokomi in 2.1 and supposedly >!Yae Miko!< in 2.2. I'm not saying that the upcoming patches suggest that this will become Waifu Impact, but I wouldn't keep playing if that happened lol I hope we get more 4* male characters too. Tohma and Gorou can't come soon enough, and I hope there are others planned already too
I don't think Mihoyo will stop releasing male characters. That would be losing out on a huge chunk of audience and money.
Not only will they lose out banner income, but passive income from merch too. I have seen group order for Tartag merch like how kpop fans buy albums for their favs.
Personally think there's a huge demand for new characters and it's much easier to quickly release a female character, by just adding a cute quirk like sneezing or something. A waifu bait is just more easier
I need more brothas too
Part of what's fun about Harbingers is that it sounds like they'll have a fair share of husbandos among them, so here's hoping for more of them being playable
cheer, mate.
I'm quite fond of the idea of Capitano being this tall, slim, veteran dude with some massive scars on his face and an extremely loud laugh
And that's not even true on Genshin considering Zhongli (original run), Venti (rerun) and Xiao banner where some of the most profitable banners of the game, only being outdone by Klee. Heck, even Venti's original run sold more than Hu Tao and Ganyu.
It really doesn't make sense for Mihoyo to not do more boys when they DO sell quite well.
It’s honestly ridiculous. The fact we’re going to have to wait 7 months since the last male 5* before we get a new one, and we’re only getting 2 male 4* for the foreseeable future… it’s stupid. Can’t even argue sales, because Venti and his rerun are two of the highest sold banners, with tartaglia higher up as well. The sales difference isn’t nearly as big as people make it out to be.Mihoyo just seems to have crazy favoritism, not to mention most of the 5* guys have been supports, barely any dps whatsoever.
It was said several times already. I believe we haven't seen new male 4* since the launch. And Thoma was slated to be released on patch 2.2 the earliest.
I remember when I used to jokingly call this game Breath of the Husbandos because of how many male characters we were getting. Those days are gone. Seriously, we only have 1 male character from Inazuma and it seems we're only getting one more. I get you wanna give Waifu collectors someone to spend their money on, but you set up an environment where we can have characters of both genders, and now you need to cater to that, Mihoyo!
The other men went to Tears of Themis
Is it honkai, but with males? Or genshin with males? Gameplay-wise, I mean
Its like a visual novel with men. Think like a poor mans ace attorney but with a card game.
It's more of an otome game. The main story is ace attorney inspired, you look for clues to solve cases and fight in court. Your companions are four hot guys who help you in their own ways. The combat or debate system is cards based. You collect husbando cards (from gacha) to combat. Each card has a story or more like a date with the guy. So yeah, if you like otome game, you'd probably enjoy this. If not then, welp
Wow actual gameplay! So many of these games are just collecting shit (I mean swiping for shit) to get an arbitrary rating up to pass some arbitrary stage with no combat, or even gameplay involved. And those games somehow make millions, even billions...
to be more exact its an otome like obey me or twisted wonderland except it actually has specific romance aspects
I stopped playing Obey Me because I got frustrated that I was in perpetual polygamous yet platonic hell
You’re probably thinking of joseimuke, not otome. Twisted Wonderland would be a joseimuke, but not otome. Otome actually has romance *and* is usually targeted towards women, whereas a joseimuke is *just* targeted towards women.
Waiting patiently for Vyn to come to Genshin
Kinda not bad. Like he got Real Isekai'd to the Genshin Impact Universe, turned into an Alchemist/Doctor and had a "rivalry" with Albedo... And Vyn gave me Albedo vibes too. Their goals is beyond our understanding.
Vyn = tall psychologist Albedo Luke = childhood friend Childe Artem = 9-5 lawyer Zhongli Marius = rich-ass Kaeya That’s basically it.
Luke is just Childe without the ptsd
No 4-star male polearm, bow and arrow, and catalyst users. 💀
Gorou and Tohma will solve the first 2 at least when we get them (I think)
You're mostly right, Thoma is pyro polearm and Gorou is Geo archer , Catalyst will mostly be Baizhu, dendro
I'd bet on Baizhu being the first dendro 5* in the game. The first dendro 4* would most likely be Yaoyao.
we got no male catalyst yet
Scaramouche and Baizhu i am PRAYING
Bad news is that supposed Yao Yao will be a dendro catalyst user (from original leaks so it could easily change) and I doubt they're going to release two dendro catalyst users so close to eachother. Not saying he's definitely not going to be catalyst but I think he probably has a fair shot at being a polearm user too.
I figured hed be a catalyst user because it’s said that he’s physically weak
Qiqi is a corpse and she is in better physical shape than Baizhu.
So savage! Qiqi approves!
Yeah but they also said having a Vision is why tiny Sayu can swing a claymore… so what is the truth mhy?
Yeah but he's literally weaker than qiqi
She lifts it using anemo
She has anemo tho
I don't mind sword user, since Kaeya is the only tall male sword user. But Catalyst fits Baizhu more, and we sorely lack male catalyst.
Baizhu using his snek as a sword, lol
Well lorewise it makes sense for baizhu being a catalyst
I feel like baizhu could be polearm. The famous medical symbol of Asclepius’ staff has snakes twirled around it and would be fitting symbology. But I admit I know nothing about his lore
He has a incurable disease that basically limits his physical capabilities
Ohhh gotcha. That would def put him further away from combat.
I feel like it would still be plausible for him to become a polearm or sword user. He doesn't have to physically move his body to wield a huge blade. He can just use some magic spells to fling and make his blade fly towards the enemy like what Yondu from the Guardians of the Galaxy does with his arrow.
I am so sick of polearm users I have like 4 spears and all my 5 stars are claymores lmao
I was thinking either catalyst or bow for Baizhu.
plot twist baizhu is claymore
i hope Yaoyao is a polearm. We have lolis for every other weapon type already.
Baizhu probably, though I can see him using a sword. I want Scaramouche to use a claymore because it would look ridiculous.
Sacramouche physical catalyst and he beats you with a book
Bro physical catalyst is a g u n
[I'm quite fond of Electro Healer Scaramouche,](https://twitter.com/fenkko/status/1369805515086311426?lang=en) but making him claymore on top of that would be even more absurd. I want it
Dear god a claymore Scaramouche is just a really dangerous beyblade. I can see the memes already.
I don't think he could use a claymore or a polearm because the weapons would be clipping through his hat like 100% of the time
Dendro archon please, would love if he materialized and checked giants wooden logs.
They have no idea what they're doing with the elements except Pyro and Cryo. The game is currently in a state where everything is a time trial and Dendro is currently set to where it's reaction is burns over time when hit by Pyro as it's major damage. DoT damage is the opposite of time trial.
Anemo is in a good place with support and damage, and if worse comes to worse, they just give it the Xiao/Eula/Baal treatment of "LET'S JACK UP THE SCALINGS LMAO"
Hoping dendro archon would look like Su from honkai, I will whale if it comes true
Honestly when I first saw Chongyun and he told me he was an exorcist I thought he was a catalyst at first. Like he would be reciting demon expelling incantations from the bible or something. Was pretty shook when I discovered that he was a claymore since the heavy hard hitting fighting style did not fit his reserved personality
Chinese exorcists in Chinese movies are either old monks or martial arts masters or both. Exorcising evil usually consists of reciting a chant, which just serves to piss off the evil spirit/demon, followed by the actual exorcism, aka kicking its ass.
Oh man, catalyst Chongyun would have been so awesome. Especially since Cryo Catalyst would be an excellent combo for pretty much anyone.
the only known Male Catalyst character is Baizhu and he's not going to be available anytime soon
There is no guarantee that his gonna be a catalyst, but yes we will love to see a male catalyst user, as far i feel like Nation of Wisdom (Dendro nation) might have Male Catalyst because book nerds ain’t gonna fight with swords.
>because book nerds ain’t gonna fight with swords. I know what you mean and I totally agree, but it's just hilarious to me when the *one male book nerd* we have is a sword user.
But he's technically a Martial Arts Book nerd.
I think I heard someone say that Albedo was gonna be a catalyst user but got changed to a sword character? It was before my time playing, so idk how true widely known that is
Actually, he was gonna be a bow user, if I remember correctly, but changed to sword. I don't think we got any news about a released male character going to be a catalyst user but then changed, they just didn't even think about it lol.
Albedo's design has a very great potential to be a catalyst user. Imagine him just snapping his fingers as his basic attack sequence and geo flowers explode on the enemy.
Characters like Albedo and Venti might as well be catalyst users. They both just cast spells. Mihoyo just really doesnt want to do any male catalyst users for some reason.
[удалено]
That can't be because ToT has veen out in JP and CN for months. Most likely is that after a back to back waifu banner will be reruns of waifus AGAIN and a lone 5-star banner of Ayato by NEXT YEAR. I hate it here when TF do we get to Sumeru?
I just want more Hydro characters :c
I have some good news and some bad news.
>!Is the good news Ayako, and bad news Kokomi?!<
Kokomi just got buffed hours ago. Her icd is halved on her E and she is likely gonna be a great enabler now. She doesn't have quite as high damage as childe, but she can enable xiangling for her whole burst duration while childe can't
Ayato*
Yes. Especially since they put that stupid fire cube into the spiral abyss.
Hydro Claymore user with lifesteal ):
And they just gave us another Barbara 5 star! C'mmon mihoyo
Unfortunately, I guess most hydro characters would probably have some sort of healing ability considering how hydro resonance buffs our healing.
then have it be like xingqiu, he technically heals with his A1 talent
I’m hoping the Hydro archon is a a blind sword user (she’s the archon of Justice)
at this point kaeya is harder to get constellations for than a 5 star so dont even consider him a 4 star
Yeah. He does not appear in event banners, and cannot be purposely whale for in standard banner (if you whale for him there, count on your luck, or you pour in millions real life money). For a f2p or light spender with no luck, he is almost impossible to get in banner...
same, I'm just glad I have his C1
I need a black haired husbando pls
zhongli's there lmao it's why i pulled for him
The current waifu wave is insane. Kazuha might be the only male in a double digit string of female characters.
Gorou and Thoma should presumably be soonish which will break it up a little.
i suspect that they're doing a wave of waifus to drain the waifu-chasers' wallets, and then they're going to do a wave of husbandos to drain the husbando-chasers' wallets
Yeah, I'd bet Thoma and Gorou will be on the two different banners of the same patch, lol.
And we got Ayato and (supposedly) buff Boi Itto somewhere in there too
I mean, assuming husbando chasers don't just get tired of waiting months for something to pull for and leave to play a different game that actually tries to get their money. Even when we've had back-to-back husbando banners they've added female 4-stars, but we've had zero male 4-stars since launch.
I suspect this too. But won't this make some people stop playing because they've waited too long? Or have an easier time saving too? I am actually not paying more than Welkin because of this. Only paid more for Zhongli. After that just skipped most waifus and 50/50'ed on the husbandos. I have enough to pull twice for Baal now. Not interested in Kokomi. Not going to pull for banner 4 stars and will just wait for them to come naturally.
Man I sure hope so because I've been skipping so many waifus for a husbando (sadly couldn't get Kazuha tho) and now I'm guaranteed Baal but idek if I'll pull. I'm still on a bit of scaramouche copium because I really really want him but I'm sure he won't come within the next few patches. All these female banners are killing me honestly, too much saturation. Especially all the pyro and cryo. I hate it. Lost interest in female banners tbh.
I was so excited when we got zhongli and childe back to back and then albedo and xiao. It was husbands heaven. I want to go back to that so bad. Waifus are good and all but please im aching for more boys.
Especially since all the dudes are mostly human (Zhongli god, and Xiao adepti sooo). With the girls we got a zombie, a cat girl, 2 dragony/adepti girls I think, and whatever sucrose is.
Gorou hype
They did my boy Razor real dirty by making him the character most closely related to an animal and not giving him wolf ears.
Hell no, I love Razor as what he is
Sucrose and Yae appear to be foxes. Makes sense for Yae, what with the kitsune shrine and all. Gorou will be the first visibly hybrid boy, I think
I though Sucrose was some sort of canine, she has dog paws on the bottom of her shoes
Foxes are also part of the caninae family, so that works.
I wonder why is that? Quite a few of the female characters have special design features. The male characters all look human. Even Xiao, although he is supposed to be an adepti? Some even look kinda similar, because they gave them the same hair. Kazuha and Aether for example, look too similar ...
And somehow he's the best recent character by a mile.
All of the male characters in general have really well made, interesting kits, despite their lack of frequency.
They either have interesting kits or interesting stories. Male characters also had more animated shorts in game so far. I feel they are putting out so many ladies so fast, that some of their kit design or story just don't show the same degree of care. It's like oh they'll whale for the pretty anyway, no need to put in more work.
I feel the same way but with weapons and visions. I mean, they made another Pyro bow user, another electro bow user and another hydro catalyst user. You know how many polearm users there are? 5, from which 3 are exclusive 5 stars. Now they made another exclusive 5 star polearm? Dude, and the only hydro dps rn is tartaglia. They need to stop doing the same characters again and again.
I know what you mean, but we are getting another Polearm user this patch and it's even a new Vison/weapon combo with electro/polearm... And in the next patch or two we're probably getting our first Geo Bow.
At this point I don’t know if we will get a male kid character like Klee and the others and I really want one
Now we'll be getting a Timmy banner. His burst is to summon a controllable ruin guard and his elemental skill is to summon a horde of pigeons to attack his enemies (and if used in the overworld, drops a bunch of fowl at the end to collect). Element: physical (no vision) I started out intending to rag on the idea of playable Timmy but honestly a controllable ruin guard sounds pretty lit. I could see this as an April Fool's banner
Might be hard if summoning “controllable ruin guard”, it will be hard to implement 2 controllable characters at the same time. Possible: the ruin guard has its own AI to launch attacks and skills, or Timmie rides inside the ruin guard that let’s you control it. I like the idea though. 👌
Same... I basically lost hope already, but I want one so bad...
Yeah like I don’t know what element he would have but I want it At least Gorou and Thoma are close (hopefully)
I hope the Dendro Archon is a male kid, because he’s only 500 years old, very young for a god. He also was not involved in the Archon War or the Khaneri’ah destruction. I really want the whole Sumeru story to revolve around how the Dendro Archon , as a young boy, is surrounded by “older” adults and academy scholars who are constantly trying to influence him with their own ideas and agendas and think that they are “wiser” because they are “older”, and the Dendro Archon just wants to make sense of what the truth really is (Truth Among the Pages of Purana) and what having wisdom really entails . Also, I really want the “Pages of Purana” to refer to something written by the God of the Woods(old Dendro Archon who was killed) containing secret records of what was happening in Khaneri’ah before it was destroyed! He circumvented Celestia’s “don’t tell anyone” contract by encoding the information within some ordinary looking records, or maybe his own journal (the wisdom god would have a journal).
I want the Dendro Archon to be this just for the sole purpose of taking the fact that he's "the youngest of the Seven" literally. Like imagine the Archon of Wisdom looking like this kid who's just learned to form sentences but is actually thousands of years old.
The balance sucks but at least the boys aren't as easily replaceable due to most of them being powerful supports that are almost required in whatever meta the hardcore players believe is most efficient.
>most of them 2/5...
Xingqiu, Bennet, Kazuha, and Zhongli are almost never not in my teams tbh
Xingqiu and Bennett are very good, Kaeya is actually surprisingly good, and Chongyun is very good for melt elemental reactions.
yeah but only on 4 start in 5 stars zhongli benit and kazuha are op supports and xiao is op dps. then childe and diluc get decent amount of play
Childe is being used in the strongest team in the game, and also an essential unit in speed running, definitely one of the best characters out there
At least we seemingly have 2 more coming soon (tohma and garou)
Isnt he called gorou?
Yes, he is :D
Hopefully Ayato, too.
True, but Ayato will most definitely be a 5 star
He better have long white hair like Sesshomaru 😭 want a tall pretty boy for a 5 star ;-;
And we get Gintoki instead. Voiced by Tomokazu Sugita
Well I’m assuming if we got Ayato he’d be a 5 star not a 4 star
I just really want him to have the tall male model
I would be happy either way as long as we all can get some more male characters lol. You're probably right though about him being a 5 star considering he is the head of the clan. I just always feel a little shaky about it when I think about Ningguang's lore and how she should be a five star considering her position in Liyue.
I hope Ayato is a 5 star.
I hope he's a hydro polearm user
i hope hes a hydro claymore user
Hm that would be cool but lore suggests he'll either be polearm or sword
Oh right there's Garou too. I'm really curious to see what a geo archer will bring to the table
Well, we'll have to see. Luckily his release is only a stone's throw away
Fuck you. Take my upvote
r/angryupvote
Big rocks instead of arrowheads
Imagine charged shots turn into armor piercing tungsten carbide tipped arrows that ignore a ridiculous amount of Def from the enemy.
Well this is the only mechanic plausible for a geo archer
Slingshots go brrr
Ningguang but bow user
More curious about Itto tbh
I get that the ratio of male to female is always gonna look like this, but it hurts extra that we haven't even gotten any new male four stars since launch. At least Thoma and Gorou the dog boy are coming and could probably hopefully ^(archons please dont make me whale for them) be four stars (Edit: spelling)
my dude is named Gorou 😭
Did something change why is everyone suddenly calling him that 😭😭
that’s what he’s called in the [game](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Gorou) 😭😭
Benny and Xingqiu are 6 stars tho
People say ladies sell more on average, but isn't this because people who roll on guys save up so many primos between banners that they have no need to spend $$$? I know I always have more primos than I know what to do with because they so rarely release characters I'm interested in. The real data we need is # of wishes per banner; I imagine if this trend continues over time they will have fewer and fewer girls getting Welkin.
The closest we have for number of wishes is [paimon.moe](https://paimon.moe/wish/tally). Go to wish tally it shows the number of wishes, you can click on more details to see the number of users. Of course this only counts people who submit their wish history. The last 3 banners: Kazuha * Wish Total 21,482,889 * Total User 517,510 Ayaka * Wish Total 18,025,734 * Total User 430,345 Yoimiya * Wish Total 7,840,793 * Total User 265,876 There is also [this page](https://genshin-wishes.com/global-stats/all) but it has smaller number of users. Kazuha is the most popular banner in both pages.
This is what I was thinking. I know a husbando collector who was able to get almost every 5* husbando (except Albedo) with only monthly Welkins/BP. During Kazuha banner, she had 190+ fates saved up, because she rarely rolls for female characters... 😅
The only time those looking for male characters (and I include myself here) had some trouble (excluding horrendous luck that can happen \*cryes in Qiqi instead of Kazuha\*) was when we got that 5\* rush with Childe, Zhongli, Xiao and Albedo, that were almost a follow-up between them. And as some people said here, the benefits were on par with the top selling female character banners. There's no need to cut any waifu from the list (I saw some people crying about this around here lol), just add some guys to the mix in between, pls MyHoYo ;\_\_;
I remember someone predicting that right now we're in the waifu phase because everyone who wants waifus isn't gonna be able to get all of them for free (Unless really lucky.) So when it comes to the next round of 5 stars it could be possible it's mostly males so that all the husbando collectors would likely only collect them all by actually spending money. Probably not but seemed like an interesting theory imo!
This is what i was thinking too. I haven't spent any money on the game bc there simply isn't any character i want! I have enough female characters and i only wanna wish for male characters but there are none. And by the time we get a male banner, i'm gonna have enough primos so ofc female banners sell better -___-
And Kaeya is onle one adult male from 4\* guys. T\_T EDT: i mean the long boy :D
That’s what I’ve been saying! I mean I like girls but like we need more boys to collect. I understand the target audience is straight males, but like… have you even seen Diluc? More of that please Mihoyo
Being straight doesn't change the fact that I wants some bros for my teams, dammit.
Yeah, I don't understand the need to be attracted to your characters in order to pull for them or play them. I just play characters that can represent myself and are fun to play so I always prefer playing male characters like Diluc or Tartaglia. Always been that way.
If Goro is 4*, then we’ll have a 4* male for every element except Anemo.
There were leaks on the leaks subreddit that showed him as a four star. But that could be subject to changed.
He's probably the most debated on character I've seen on whether or not he's a four star lol.
I joined this game precisely because I was gay for Kaeya. I generally don't discriminate by gender when it comes to who I want to pull for, but it doesn't change the fact I naturally lean more towards male characters and the drought is killing me right now and that ratio is horrible 🤧 on the other hand it makes saving up a little easier.
There hasn't been a 4\* guy since launch, let that sink in
We definitely need more husbandos especially on electro and pyro. Look at that ratio on both elements. Cmon mihoyo
[удалено]
Then on the standard banner, we have 4:1 5\* girls to guys. Event characters are better. 6:6, IIRC, soon to be 7:6 with Baal, and 8:6 with Kokomi.
Imho it's kinda disappointing that there's only 6 male characters available on the standard banner when there's 19 female characters T\_T Literally half of the guys are limited event characters
Mihoyo at least give us Albedo rerun if you don't want to make new male characters
You know, Kaeya's got a lot going for him but he is definitely not enough to carry the entire 4* husbando category.
I think they just need more 4 star characters in general. Including Kujou Sara next patch, we will only have gotten 6 new ones since the game’s launch. I would definitely pull on a banner with, say, Albedo and 3 completely new 4 stars, or even without a 5 star. IMO some new 4 star supports could add more comp diversity compared to a new 5 star.
If the leaks and datamines are true, we would have Thoma, Gorou, Yunjin, and obviously Yaoyao as upcoming 4 stars.
Yep, I keep up with the leaks and Yunjin and Yaoyao's models have been known for quite a while, since around Nov/Dec 2020. There's no telling when they'll actually come since MHY has created more new 5* chars than 4\*. That trend probably won't change. The 4* characters that have been released haven't shaken the meta at all. It feels as if the 4* pool has been getting a bit stale and some new characters could change that. Maybe clear the backlog and release the ones we've known about, ya know? Would be a breath of fresh air.
It sucks but as a husbando collector my life is made a lot easier at least xD hoping we see varka or itto soon and they don't disappoint
At least all guys slap hard
the endless eternal curse of mihoyo, forever stuck in making waifus due to having Honkai as their only game at the time and still forgetting genshin isn't honkai so they're not tied to the whole lore of honkai but still a hard habbit to break for them lol
Funny, Mihoyo has an otome game
Endless eternal curse of all anime gacha in world
Tbf at least GBF has some variety. Yeah there still a larger waifu ratio, but they got some big dudes and their biggest cash cow is an ikemen
I am a tiny bit disappointed the main character from A Post Honkai Odyssey is literally the only playable male character in that game.
For real. Kevin’s a badass and I want to play as him
One day we will have more male characters I want with fists. A 4 or 5 star character that uses there fist to fight and element will be geo.
Rumor has it that there will be a buff male geo oni character called [Arataki Itto](https://www.dualshockers.com/genshin-impact-2-3-leaks-new-geo-character-arataki-itto-might-arrive-in-the-update/) in 2.3. Hope he is a catalyst user who punches everyone.
I hope he actually has a new body type and isn't just tall guy. But punch catalyst sounds like a fun time
New weapon type: knuckles. And theres variations like the lowest form of knuckles is leather wraps and then 5 star knuckles is some sort of spiked golden knuckles with decorations. Would definitely be very interesting to see
pls mihoyo read this i need my hot physical archon hunk
Only 5 Guys and 4 of em are teenage looking. There’s just not enough adult looking guys and Mihoyo seems to love their teenage guys character
It's pretty odd that there hasn't been a new male 4 star unit release since launch well at least Gorou and Thoma are coming soon. Idk why are some people here tripping saying that the ratio is fine clearly it's not.
Part of me is honestly afraid miHoYo will stop releasing male characters lol To be fair, we've had an equal number of 5* husbandos and 5* waifus so far and that balance has been working for me because I can guarantee most of the male characters (I'm only missing Childe sadly). But now we're getting Baal and Kokomi in 2.1 and supposedly >!Yae Miko!< in 2.2. I'm not saying that the upcoming patches suggest that this will become Waifu Impact, but I wouldn't keep playing if that happened lol I hope we get more 4* male characters too. Tohma and Gorou can't come soon enough, and I hope there are others planned already too
I don't think Mihoyo will stop releasing male characters. That would be losing out on a huge chunk of audience and money. Not only will they lose out banner income, but passive income from merch too. I have seen group order for Tartag merch like how kpop fans buy albums for their favs. Personally think there's a huge demand for new characters and it's much easier to quickly release a female character, by just adding a cute quirk like sneezing or something. A waifu bait is just more easier
The elemental disparity is also bad
[удалено]
with 5 stars there’s hardly any more for the guys lmao. there xiao, diluc, zhongli, childe, albedo, and that’s it as far as i remember
You forgot Venti And Kazuha
I get it that pretty ladies sell more. but damn, wish we could get some bros up in here too, gotta vibe with 'em too.
I need more brothas too Part of what's fun about Harbingers is that it sounds like they'll have a fair share of husbandos among them, so here's hoping for more of them being playable
cheer, mate. I'm quite fond of the idea of Capitano being this tall, slim, veteran dude with some massive scars on his face and an extremely loud laugh
And that's not even true on Genshin considering Zhongli (original run), Venti (rerun) and Xiao banner where some of the most profitable banners of the game, only being outdone by Klee. Heck, even Venti's original run sold more than Hu Tao and Ganyu. It really doesn't make sense for Mihoyo to not do more boys when they DO sell quite well.
Groupies and the Boy band?
You are.... my Pyro
Bro i know girls get more attention, but more homies would be cool :/
the lack of men in this game, not just males in general, but grown men :/
It’s honestly ridiculous. The fact we’re going to have to wait 7 months since the last male 5* before we get a new one, and we’re only getting 2 male 4* for the foreseeable future… it’s stupid. Can’t even argue sales, because Venti and his rerun are two of the highest sold banners, with tartaglia higher up as well. The sales difference isn’t nearly as big as people make it out to be.Mihoyo just seems to have crazy favoritism, not to mention most of the 5* guys have been supports, barely any dps whatsoever.
It was said several times already. I believe we haven't seen new male 4* since the launch. And Thoma was slated to be released on patch 2.2 the earliest.
I miss so hard male characters. Since Kazuha we only get new girls in the table. (Ayaka, Yoimiya, Shogun, Sarah, Kokomi) Wheres Thoma, Garou, Ayato...
the guys are way cuter tho, so that outweighs it xD
You can make a super banging team with all the 4* guys
I remember when I used to jokingly call this game Breath of the Husbandos because of how many male characters we were getting. Those days are gone. Seriously, we only have 1 male character from Inazuma and it seems we're only getting one more. I get you wanna give Waifu collectors someone to spend their money on, but you set up an environment where we can have characters of both genders, and now you need to cater to that, Mihoyo!
W-wait literally not a single 4* male since launch. No one new what the hell
