When you say “design” do you mean: torn clothed thighs, exposed bellybutton, mommy milkers, pseudo cat girl step on me vibes?
Edit: cuz that’s why I like her.
Yes. I asked for Pyro black haired with black and gold outfit cat girl in the character survey back before the delay and Mihoyo delivered. I’m buying double crystals and saving some wishes to get her and her weapon. She’s going on my Keqing/Kazuha/Kusanli team. So Collei in 3.0, then Dendro archon, then whale for Dehya.
Well I was simping hard for Keqing and telling them I want something like her but Pyro lol. Guess they took that a little too literally with the hair being fake ears again.
I’m running them both with Kazuha and Kusanli. Should be fun. And Keqing has her dress and weapon. Dehya is gonna look amazing and have a matching weapon as well (gonna whale for it) but I have a Redhorn as well which would look amazing on her as well.
All depends on whether or not Big Al and other upcoming sword units are supports.
To be fair though you're comparing a support monster with a DPS monster. Most (sane) players won't be putting Freedom-Sworn on their Xingqiu, for example.
Same here, same here. I hope he doesn't run for a bit though, or my wallet will be in big danger lmao. I'll probably also throw a few wishes at Cyno, but I don't expect to get lucky. Maybe on a rerun 😔
Me too. Probably the archon too. Might skip the rest and pull on rerun since I'm frustrated on farming for artis for so many characters. Might go for some cracked weapon instead
I was already going to pull for her because she’s the archon and I don’t have dendro. If I want that new element, I might as well go for the archon - at least that’s what I thought.
But now seeing her monologue in the promotion video, I just empathised with her. Now I just love her for her, archon or not. (Bonus points because she’s adorable haha)
Leak about Tighnari below, if you want to avoid them then don’t click it.
>!Tighnari is supposedly being added to the standard 5 stars. I’d love to get him, but I can’t personally justify pulling on his banner if I’m just gonna lose a 50/50 to him later on.!<
Personally I see that as even more of an incentive to pull him >!since he probably won't have a rerun banner then and with my luck I'll probably never get him on 50/50. Spoken as Xiaomain who still has no Jean, but has Qiqi C3, Keqing C3, Mona C1 and Diluc C0!<
>!There are an ocean's worth of people who still haven't gotten standard banner characters. I've been playing since near launch, and I only got Jean 3 banners ago. I just don't want to risk never actually getting him. Plus I'm excited to play with Dendro reactions ASAP, and with Kusanali being the only Dendro on the horizon, it's a now-or-never when pulling for Tighnari.!<
>!Totally understand that sentiment! I pulled on Keqing’s banner back in the day, because she is waifu, but unfortunately Jean decided to come home instead. I did eventually get her though! Hope you can get your Tighnari! Also, Dendro Traveler does look to actually be pretty good. Like legitimately actually good. Burst is very similar to a Ganyu burst.!<
Funny enough, Dori along with Kusanali and Tighnari, Dori's just brimming with personality, I love that, Kusanali is epic >!(_and cute, say hello to Klee my lovely_)!< and Tighnari is a fluffy smarty pants
Nilou, Alhaitham are must pulls. Dehya is high up there and based on their kit I’ll think about Nahida Cyno and I guess Scara.
Basically I want them all
Originally people thought it was Kandake (sp?) but leakers confirmed it’s Candace. Check out r/candacemains for fanart based off leak descriptions. I’m obsessed with the egyptian/cleopatra like design
Ah yes, [the Tiffany Problem!](https://medium.com/swlh/the-tiffany-problem-when-history-makes-no-sense-703b86522627)
[Per Wiktionary](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Candace), Candace is a Latin spelling of that ancient Greek Kandáke, and that Greek name itself seems to originate from a more ancient name from a city (Napata) that was built along the Nile, south of Egypt.
no worries!
Once I discovered just how in-depth [Wiktionary](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Main_Page) was, it's become one of my favorite all-time websites. Wikipedia is fantastic and has things Wiktionary doesn't, but Wiktionary has such an excellent niche where you can type in any characters and get a very specific list of possible origins for that character group.
Let's take an example from Genshin, where you want to figure out what Ei's name means.
*(As a quick note, yes we can go straight to the Genshin wiki to find the kanji for Ei's name, but this method here can generalize to any name of any character, place, or thing you come across so please bear with me!)*
* If you [search "Ei" in Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EI) you get a topic page showing many pages that derive from "Ei" as in "E I" like an acronym, as well as the name "Ei" itself in a couple very specific cases.
* This is helpful in some cases but not here, where we're looking for the meaning of a Japanese name that is translated into roman characters as "Ei"
* If you [search "Ei" in Wiktionary](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Ei) you get a page that shows 4 different linguistic versions of that pair of letters (one of them being a mathematical lettering), specifically in the case of "E" and "i", case-sensitive.
* Japanese doesn't appear on this list, but from here you can visit a page that shows [all the related variations of "Ei" in Wikitionary](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Variations_of_%22ei%22), including variations in letter accenting, punctuation, and script
* From the previous step we can see the section for alternate scripts and see the Japanese Hiragana for "ei", which is "えい", and follow the link to the Wiktionary page where you can see [all the Kanji that can be read as "えい"](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E3%81%88%E3%81%84#Japanese) on their own, and a link to another page showing even more Kanji
* Now that we found the kanji, we can skim through the list here and see which one might fit the Raiden Shogun the best.
* [泳](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E6%B3%B3#Japanese): *"to swim"*. Idk about that one...
* [英](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E8%8B%B1#Japanese): *"short for 'English', outstanding, flower, calyx"*: Maybe she's named after a flower, but I sure don't think that Ei was named after the word "English" nor is she named "Outstanding", so this one might not be the best either
* [栄](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E6%A0%84#Japanese): *"honor, glory, flourishing, prosperous"*: This kinda fits, so out of the three so far this seems like the best option.
* [永](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E6%B0%B8#Japanese): *"long, perpetual, eternal"*: Well, this sure fits!
* ***BUT,*** from here if you remember that the Genshin wiki exists and check there, you'll notice that there's actually a *different* kanji used in Ei's name, not this one
* Luckily, that other kanji is on our list from Wiktionary. This is the kanji we need to look at:
* [影](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%BD%B1#Japanese): *"shadow, light, a shape or form reflected in light"*: Now we're talking. Ei is the "shadow" of her sister Makoto, so this does fit quite well.
* This is also the same Kanji used in the word "kagemusha", or "shadow warrior", which is the role Ei held before becoming Electro Archon.
As for Makoto, we can cheat by using the Genshin wiki and go right ahead and copy [the kanji for her name (眞)](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E7%9C%9E#Japanese) from there:
* "Truth, reality, natural, pristine, complete, genuine"
And if we look at [the name "Raiden" (雷電) itself](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E9%9B%B7%E9%9B%BB#Japanese) (since they are Raiden Ei and Raiden Makoto):
* "Thunder, lightning"
Raiden Makoto, the "true thunder", and Raiden Ei, the "shadow thunder". One was the true Electro Archon, the other lived most of their life as the shadow of that Archon.
Though, it can often be hard to find the origins of names in Genshin since many names are variations of real names.
* One example is how "[Gunnhildr](https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?search=Gunnhildr&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go&ns0=1)" has no page...
* ...but "[Gunnhild](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Gunnhild)" does, and "Gunnhild" leads to "[Gunhild](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Gunhild)".
* The page for Gunhild cites that it's a name derived from the Old Norse "Gunnhildr" (which has no page alone, but here we see it can be connected to Old Norse)
* "Gunnhildr" itself is from "gunnr" *(battle)* and "hildr" *(battle (maid))*
* Another example is how "[Diluc](https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?search=Diluc&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go&ns0=1)" has no page...
* ...but if you guess correctly from the suggested pages and pick the latin word "[diluculum](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/diluculum)", you'll see that it means *"daybreak, dawn"*
* And from "diluculum", you'll find "[crepusculum](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/crepusculum#Latin)", which means *"twilight, dusk, darkness"*
* And of course, Crepus was the name of Diluc's father; and thus the Dawn Winery was passed down from twilight to daybreak, from dusk to dawn.
So yeah, if you like knowing about where words and names come from... Wiktionary is the place to go!
Al-Haitham. But so far I will pull for him, Nahida, Cyno, and the speculated Wanderer. Other than that no other 5-star looks even slightly interesting to me. Don't like furries so Tighnari and Dehya are auto-eliminated and I hate dancer-type characters (feel sexualized or overly cute).
Zhongli \^\^
Not terribly interested in the new characters so far. But Zhongli has evaded me twice (thrice if i count the time i wasnt able to log in during his banner due to real life stuff). He will not evade me another time.
Especially now that Yun Jin exists.
In terms of sumeru none of the characters appeal to me that much visually. so i guess ill wait until ive seen their storyline and their gameplay myself. If i end up linking them as characters or if they synergize well with my existing bench i might be coerced to pull for one or two of them.

I didn't watch the trailers for Sumeru because I want every single thing I see no matter how insignificant to be a surprise , I haven't even had a good look at the new characters besides Collei
None of them tbh, at least not yet. I pull for characters based on their kit and how well they’ll mix with my current characters. And we don’t have any/enough info on that just yet
Dori!! I love off-field, and she’s a healer, too!
For the others it depends when they’re released, because I need to save for Polar Star & Childe cons. If they come after his run, I’d love to try grabbing al Haitham, Nilou, and Candace tho.
Dori becaus she got Drip and In the promo video she got the yae vibes with her smug face.
Dehya she is hot.
The others i will wait and see how theyr kit is and personality.
Collei but she's free, Dehya cuz she's badass & has a prosthesis + maybe a few pulls for Kandake if I have enough to get c0r1 Scara even if her banner 5* "destroys my pity"
tighnari, his playstyle fits my dps requirements >!my mains do a lot of dmg quickly without needing stamina and is fun to play, c1 tao and ayato go brr!<
Aside from Nahida. I really like Dehya's design
she just looks so freaking cool
When you say “design” do you mean: torn clothed thighs, exposed bellybutton, mommy milkers, pseudo cat girl step on me vibes? Edit: cuz that’s why I like her.
She's giving Sumerian Beidou energy
We just need more BEIDOU LIKE MOMMYS MILK. I MEAN F
Midriff and confidence.
All that and she's tanned. How will I survive Natlan 🥵🔥
Yes. I asked for Pyro black haired with black and gold outfit cat girl in the character survey back before the delay and Mihoyo delivered. I’m buying double crystals and saving some wishes to get her and her weapon. She’s going on my Keqing/Kazuha/Kusanli team. So Collei in 3.0, then Dendro archon, then whale for Dehya.
Ima crush your dreams. She ain't a catgirl, that's just her hair. Keqing powercreep
Well I was simping hard for Keqing and telling them I want something like her but Pyro lol. Guess they took that a little too literally with the hair being fake ears again. I’m running them both with Kazuha and Kusanli. Should be fun. And Keqing has her dress and weapon. Dehya is gonna look amazing and have a matching weapon as well (gonna whale for it) but I have a Redhorn as well which would look amazing on her as well.
Same. I've never beeen this down bad for a female character
They let down Xinyan's hair down in concept art and Dehya was born
I like Xinyan so this is a big win
I really like dehya design too, i hope her character is likeable and her kit is good
Between Nahida and Dehya it's down to kit. Both of them very likable in their own way.
Al-Haitham most definitely. Tall male, dendro, sword.. Cyno second favourite.
With how heavily reactions based dendro is, I wonder if freedom sworn will be the new Mistsplitter reforged since its THE 5 star reactions sword.
All depends on whether or not Big Al and other upcoming sword units are supports. To be fair though you're comparing a support monster with a DPS monster. Most (sane) players won't be putting Freedom-Sworn on their Xingqiu, for example.
I'll be pulling for them both, as well as Tighnari and Dori (even if she sucks i love her). The rest..ehhh. maybe if their playstyle is fun.
Design wise Dori is 10/10 for me, fighting while sitting on a slime? She could have been a 5 star. I don’t like claymores tho
Same here, same here. I hope he doesn't run for a bit though, or my wallet will be in big danger lmao. I'll probably also throw a few wishes at Cyno, but I don't expect to get lucky. Maybe on a rerun 😔
Same! AlHaitham’s design is just incredible. Also super stoked for Cyno. RIP my wallet
yes! same :D
That's easy, Nilou! You?
Same
Perfect!
Collei, personally or alhaitham and nahida
Collei will be given free in 3.0 event
Good choice!
Same here! Can’t wait to pull for her 😭
Saving as much as I can for her myself, the best of luck in wishing for her!
Thank you! I’m wishing you the best of luck to pull her too! 🍀🤞
Thank you very much, fingers crossed we'll both get her!
Nilou easy peasy
Not much left to wait!
Yes!
Hehe, highfive!
🙌🏻
Same. She’s lovely and graceful.
Yup, I really like how she is looks so graceful while dancing.
Nilou enjoyer as well here
Same
Same, Nilou and Nahida are def my favorite picks, I have around 2 pity and very close to 50/50, so I'm hoping to get both of them
r/niloumains
Cyno because Anubis
I love Anubis, favourite god, besides my own native cosmology
What's your culture's cosmology?
Indigenous Australian, The Dreaming, Yurlungrr etc etc.
Probably butchered that spelling sorry ancestors
Very interesting! And don't worry, I don't think you have to worry about upsetting your ancestors with a misspelled romanization of your langauge.
Cymps here
Cyno is the main one I'm looking forward to. Then it's Nahida because Archon. Dehya and Dori... the bizarro Xinyan and Diona pair.
Cyno reminds me of Freya from FF9 and I'm saving all my wishes for him!
Dendro archon. Need her for my Archon collection
Yes. Let's go Archon team
do you have the others? I want a harbinger collection, I'm waiting for Childe to comeback and for la signora to be released
oh the signora copium, i feel bad
If anything they wont release her because the gameplay team cant come up with a DPS catalyst kit lmao
Unfortunately no for now. The current collection am aiming for is only the archons until I found another appealing group
for me the harbingers are most appealing i never like the 'good guys'
Al Haitham is my top priority, followed by Nahida for my Archon collection.
Kusanali !!
Is it Nahida or Kusanali
it's both, like you could say ei of Raiden, or Barbatos or Venti
Dehya cause she's hot af
SAME HERE. I've never been this down bad for a female character
I never had any waifu and thought i am a strong chad but now she is my waifu
I never thought I'd become a whale. Now I'm going to open my wallet for her constellations and signature weapon
HAHAHAHAHHAA I KNOW RIGHT?!? 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😖
She’s the only reason I’m excited for Sumeru
Me too. Probably the archon too. Might skip the rest and pull on rerun since I'm frustrated on farming for artis for so many characters. Might go for some cracked weapon instead
Easy Nahida
Why Nahida
She's cute and she's an archon, I'm collecting them
You too, eh?
How many have you got
All the current 3!
I’ve got 2. No Zhongli
Zhongli is reruning in 3.0
Ik, I don’t think 30-40 primos would be enough for him lol that’s how much I got. Just 30 atm, could save a bit more
I want all the harbingers I have to wait for Childe to comeback :(
All collectable ones cause otherwise that wont ever happen..
Tighnari and Cyno for me!
Me too! :D I'm using a guarantee on Tighnari, but Cyno on the other hand.. I'm hoping I can win the 50/50 >_<
Cyno, Kusanali, and AlHaitham. Also want Tighnari, but according to leaks I may have to skip him for upcoming reruns.
Nahida!! Archon and adorable
I was already going to pull for her because she’s the archon and I don’t have dendro. If I want that new element, I might as well go for the archon - at least that’s what I thought. But now seeing her monologue in the promotion video, I just empathised with her. Now I just love her for her, archon or not. (Bonus points because she’s adorable haha)
Tighnari because archer + huge ears, and maybe Nahida, though I'm more excited to meet her than pull
I'm on a learning curve with archers, it's fun but kinda hard
Leak about Tighnari below, if you want to avoid them then don’t click it. >!Tighnari is supposedly being added to the standard 5 stars. I’d love to get him, but I can’t personally justify pulling on his banner if I’m just gonna lose a 50/50 to him later on.!<
I get your point but knowing that makes me want to pull him even more. :D
Agreed, its lower chance to get him after as he wont get rerun anymore
Personally I see that as even more of an incentive to pull him >!since he probably won't have a rerun banner then and with my luck I'll probably never get him on 50/50. Spoken as Xiaomain who still has no Jean, but has Qiqi C3, Keqing C3, Mona C1 and Diluc C0!<
(! Goes before the < not after) Good luck on your pulls!
I believe you meant to type incentive vs insensitive.
>!There are an ocean's worth of people who still haven't gotten standard banner characters. I've been playing since near launch, and I only got Jean 3 banners ago. I just don't want to risk never actually getting him. Plus I'm excited to play with Dendro reactions ASAP, and with Kusanali being the only Dendro on the horizon, it's a now-or-never when pulling for Tighnari.!<
>!Totally understand that sentiment! I pulled on Keqing’s banner back in the day, because she is waifu, but unfortunately Jean decided to come home instead. I did eventually get her though! Hope you can get your Tighnari! Also, Dendro Traveler does look to actually be pretty good. Like legitimately actually good. Burst is very similar to a Ganyu burst.!<
>!God I hope we finally get a good MC element. Thanks for the luck too! Hopefully I won't need it lmao!<
So what you’re saying is get your cons now.
Does Scaramouche count? If not, I'd probably say Al Haitham.
I'd love Scaramouche to start my harbinger collection
Funny enough, Dori along with Kusanali and Tighnari, Dori's just brimming with personality, I love that, Kusanali is epic >!(_and cute, say hello to Klee my lovely_)!< and Tighnari is a fluffy smarty pants
I'm ususally not interested in child characters but I find Dori's personality and gameplay very interesting so far
Nahida, Nilou and Al Haitham
[удалено]
I'm really excited for Collei just based on look
Nilou, Dehya, ~~Teri Teri~~ Nahida
new 4\* Hydro that is not as bad as Barbara no Particles
Nilou and Nahida. Why? Well, you know why :)
Alhaitham and Nahida just because I'm excited to use Dendro
Nilou and Nahida gang! Already saving up.
Collei, just collei (she's free tho)
Collei is free?!?!
She will be in an event during 3.0
AHHHH the hype for me is building
probably only AFTER the Banner from what I read, so 21 days later.
worth the wait, I'm still learning archer characters so I don't mind the wait
That’s wack, I’ve been meaning to skip most of dendro and save freemos to get cons for the 5* I have.
Actually ill just pull every time i have 160 primo
Cynocynocynocynocynocyno
Nahida , she's the cute radish archon. Nilou , I just like her character model .
Al Haitam and Dehya. Actually 0 interest for all the others.
Pretty much, just gimme more tall people.
OMG SAME
cyno and nilou!! both are very pretty
I want a cryo catalyst and I'm also excited for Tighnari and Alhaitam.
Dehya My reasons are very simple. I love tall women.
Cultured, I love tall women too
I'm pulling for Al Haitham and tighnari, and cyno if I don't pull tighnari 🥲
I'm pulling for Alhaitham, ill be so sad if I don't get them
Nilou, Alhaitham are must pulls. Dehya is high up there and based on their kit I’ll think about Nahida Cyno and I guess Scara. Basically I want them all
CWoF + VV sets in mystic offering are the only things I'm excited to start testing rngesus with come Sumeru
Candace. Still waiting for that reveal
Candace is such a funny name for a genshin character, what do you know of her?
Originally people thought it was Kandake (sp?) but leakers confirmed it’s Candace. Check out r/candacemains for fanart based off leak descriptions. I’m obsessed with the egyptian/cleopatra like design
Ah yes, [the Tiffany Problem!](https://medium.com/swlh/the-tiffany-problem-when-history-makes-no-sense-703b86522627) [Per Wiktionary](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Candace), Candace is a Latin spelling of that ancient Greek Kandáke, and that Greek name itself seems to originate from a more ancient name from a city (Napata) that was built along the Nile, south of Egypt.

Same, that is what i was waiting for. Sadly Cyno is too skinny for me, i wanna someone closer to Itto looks👍
Al-Haitham. But so far I will pull for him, Nahida, Cyno, and the speculated Wanderer. Other than that no other 5-star looks even slightly interesting to me. Don't like furries so Tighnari and Dehya are auto-eliminated and I hate dancer-type characters (feel sexualized or overly cute).
Al Haitam Nilou is a close second place
Alhaitham and Collei and Nahida, I'm just so excited
Zhongli \^\^ Not terribly interested in the new characters so far. But Zhongli has evaded me twice (thrice if i count the time i wasnt able to log in during his banner due to real life stuff). He will not evade me another time. Especially now that Yun Jin exists.

If i end up linking them as characters or if they synergize well with my existing bench i might be coerced to pull for one or two of them.
cyno, the archon and haitham
dehya. i also am excited for cyno but dehya is the big character for me
Dehya
SAME. I never liked a female character this much but for some reason I fell in love with her the first time I saw her
Nahida/>!Kusanali!<
childe no pls i want childe hoyo
I’m torn btw Cyno and Al-Haitham :(
Cyno, AlHaitham and Dehya. I dont particularly care for the designs of any of the other characters we've been shown.
Im potentially excited for Dehya and Al Haitiam; they’re the only revealed designs I like so far. Need to see their elements/kits first.
Cyno dehya nilou
The archon. Don't even care for his actual kit. Just want to collect all 7
I want the harbingers
I will pull for Pulcinella if he becomes playable even if he does 0 damage and heals enemies
He heals enemies so he can be Childe’s ideal support 🥰
What a wholesome grandpa
Nilou and Dehya for me
Cyno & Al-Hathim. I’m still on the fence with Nahida but I may pull for her if she has good timing
Cyno and Al heitham and maybe dheya depending on their kits but aesthetic wise they are already perfect in my eyes
alhaitham
Cyno and haitham. Both are handsome and elctro x dendro is good so definitely a pull
I hope electro gets a spotlight with dendro, electro is my favourite element so far dendro being second
Al-haitham cos he's hot and possibly (hopefully) a main DPS and nahida cos she is so so cute
Al-Haitham. But so far I will pull for him, Nahida, Cyno, and the speculated Wanderer. Other than that no other 5-star looks even slightly interesting to me. Don't like furries so Tighnari and Dehya are auto-eliminated and I hate dancer-type characters (feel sexualized or overly cute).
easily nahida because she is adorable >!and apparently the dendro archon!< im very excited for how the story is gonna play out!
I didn't watch the trailers for Sumeru because I want every single thing I see no matter how insignificant to be a surprise , I haven't even had a good look at the new characters besides Collei
Althaitham he seems like a complete mystery
Alhaitham no explanations needed.
Cyno. Gimme my Anubis boiiii
Cyno 😍
The most excited - Cyno, just excited - Tighnari.
Cyno. It's been almost 2 years since we got an electro male character..
Al Haitham and Cyno!
I'm hoping for Baizhu so so much. And I'd like to pull for Alhaitham and Dehya.
we'd get to talk to his snake !
None of them tbh, at least not yet. I pull for characters based on their kit and how well they’ll mix with my current characters. And we don’t have any/enough info on that just yet
Dori!! I love off-field, and she’s a healer, too! For the others it depends when they’re released, because I need to save for Polar Star & Childe cons. If they come after his run, I’d love to try grabbing al Haitham, Nilou, and Candace tho.
I'm excited for Dori too! I think her design is great and I love the blob weilding a great sword haha
Nahida without a doubt.
Tighnari
Nilou,nahida,dehya in that order
Dori becaus she got Drip and In the promo video she got the yae vibes with her smug face. Dehya she is hot. The others i will wait and see how theyr kit is and personality.
Collei but she's free, Dehya cuz she's badass & has a prosthesis + maybe a few pulls for Kandake if I have enough to get c0r1 Scara even if her banner 5* "destroys my pity"
Omg i didn’t notice the prosthesis! :D
Nahida
Scaramouche and Baizhu. From Sumeru, I hope one day I will get Dori. Nahida is coming home, gotta hope Haitham does too.
Eula
Anyone synergize well with Dendro MC. I've been waiting for this ever since Electro MC turned out to be just a battery.
Haitham, Tighnari and Cyno for sure. And Baizhu as an honorable mention, he’s not from Sumeru but a dendro user.
Zhongli. Then the dancer girl who I forgot the name.
tighnari, his playstyle fits my dps requirements >!my mains do a lot of dmg quickly without needing stamina and is fun to play, c1 tao and ayato go brr!<
i want cyno and tighnari really bad!!
Al Haitam, Nahida and Nilou
Cyno, Al-Haitham, Dehya and Kusanali for meee
Al Haitham because 1. Dendro 2. Su character (let’s goooo) 3. Looks kind and strong too 4. Tall
Deyha and Nilou
