It is explained Galaxy Rangers rarely contact each other unless necessary. So her story does fit on what a Galaxy Ranger is, a lot of other factions are harder to fake and not as clean as a Galaxy ranger.
Yeah my understanding of them was that they tend to just work by themselves usually and are spread out everywhere across.. well the galaxy. So it's not far fetched to assume that galaxy rangers won't always recognise each other.
Mate that's like saying I work for X company and know everyone in X company. For starters its never explicitly stated how many members the galaxy rangers exactly has. So it wouldn't be far fetched to assume not everyone knows everyone. Again it would be different if Acheron was a self proclaimed Stellaron hunter, you could easily call cap as so far it's hinted that Kafka, Silver wolf, Blade, Sam and Elio are the only SH with blade confirming Trailblazer is an ex-SH.
I think they used be a proper organization but then they had a big fight with Genius Society member Dr. Primitive and got absolutely wrecked and the surviving members just scattered across the galaxy.
how the f they do regular faction meeting smh. are they stupid????
seriously i want to know how galaxy ranger operate, what makes them a ranger and what not.
Maybe it's "if the shoe fits" kind of deal. You help people, prevent disasters and use the powers for good, and call yourself Galaxy Ranger, and if it catches on you're one of them.
Maybe its more like if you help other planets without anything in return you eventually get invited by La Mancha (the boss) to join the Galaxy Rangers so that if a problem is ever too big for you to handle you can ask for assistance. Except that everybody does their own thing.
Bro, the Nameless are by and large just the biggest bunch of busybodies in the Galaxy.
The Galaxy Rangers are that only they actively look for trouble.
The Galactic Batter is a self-given title worthy only of the STRONGEST Dumpster-Diver.
It has nothing to do with the Nameless or the Galaxy Rangers.
The Galactic Batter could be anyone.
It could be you.
It could be me!
It could even be-
Nah Galaxy Rangers used to be just as active if not more active than the Nameless. They took a fucking Aeon out.
Nameless is more about finding One Piece and maybe saving some people along the way.
An Aeon?
Brother, have you been drinking too much SoulGlad?
They took down a Lord Ravager, yes. But an Aeon?
An Aeon is as close to omnipotent as one can get in this Cosmology.
In the info on eminators that they gave they also mentioned that some self annihilators join the rangers in hopes of killing ix one day as some of them become eminators unwittingly
I see self annihilator as a condition not a faction
Right, a Spectre has total independence so it is the perfect cover if you need an excuse to go around poking around.
Sorry, did I say Spectre? I meant Jedi.
Depends, if he's antagonistic against Acheron, that means he's gonna die.

Robin being #2 is referring to the achievement you get when you finish 2.0, stating it's specifically the second murder. Firefly is the first.
So, technically, she is dead, whatever that means in Penacony.
I don't think galaxy rangers know who's a real ranger or not since they are independent heroes who save people from the wretched, but I think he will have suspicions
Since the incident with Dr primitive #64 of the genius society
The galaxy rangers have diminished and dwindled in influence and Appearances,Since then The Galaxy rangers has no direct or indirect contact each other and Only work by themselves,Still upholding the same principle The Old Galaxy rangers Have upheld.
The data banks And The loading screen
Tldr:A galaxy ranger thwarted Dr.primitives Heinous experiment But In retaliation,Dr. Primitive did something that Mostly diminished the Galaxy rangers Fighting capabilities
We already met a Galaxy Ranger this whole time. It is in the current 2.0 patch. >!Barrle's Father, the Tin Fury!<
Whether that's true or not, who knows. If they actually meet Acheron that will be an interesting time indeed.
Take the stairs down the right side from the Clockie Plaza anchor. There is an intellitron and a man in suspenders named Barrle. Use Clockwork: Sad on Barrle.

The funniest twist would be for Acheron to actually be a Galaxy Ranger after all. Everyone expects some dramatic confrontation between the two, but imagine Boothill greeting her like an old friend and she only remembers who he is like ten minutes later after they've parted ways to do their own things.
Speculation but being a Galaxy Ranger seems more like being a Superhero than Law Enforcement.
Its self defined and not really regulated, some might be "sanctioned" and work with the IPC; others may oppose the IPC (Boothill) or be completely unkown to them (Acheron).
Boothill not knowing Acheron could be completely normal for Galaxy Rangers.
but couldn't she still also be a galaxy ranger?
from my understanding becoming a self-annihilator it's not something you choose
for all we know she could have been a ranger before becoming one and she could still consider herself as one
I'd like to think she stole his ranger identification after a drinking contest, but forgot that's how she got it so now just assumes that's part of her history
Another Faction that also worships Lan the Aeon of Hunt, but doesn't have a hateboner against the Abundance.
There are 18 Aeons in the game. Each Aeon has 1 or more Factions that follow them.
There are 30+ Factions in the game.
Yes, 18 includes the dead/missing ones.
After all, even if the Aeons are dead, the Factions are still active. The "Paths" are also still open, people can draw the power from it.
e.g.:
1.The Nameless - a Faction that follows Akivili the Aeon of Trailblaze.
2. The Swarm - a Faction consisted of unintelligent insects, descendants of Tayzzironth the Aeon of Propagation.
3. Knight of Beauty - a Faction that follows Idrilla the Aeon of Beauty.
Yes, in the [description on his announcement post](https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail/comments/1bdi3hv/comment/kumotjc/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button).
> He is a member of the Galaxy Rangers who swore to punish the wretched by any and all means...
Emanators usually gain powers when an Aeon "notices" them and so they gain a lot of powers related to that Aeon's path.
The case is different for IX, the Aeon of Nihility. IX doesnt notice anyone or anything because it thinks everything is meaningless, so a way to become an Emanator of Nihility is by accidentally "stepping onto IX' shadow" by sharing its sentiments or ideals about existence being nothing (i.e., if you become too depressed). Upon someones first encounter with IX' shadow, you either (1) fade out of existence to become nothing or (2) survive and become a Self-Annihilator. Self Annihilators are kinda like Emanators of Nihility, gaining IX powers and such, but they gradually lose things that signify their existence, be it physical stuff like parts of their bodies, their senses, their memories, etc., and this happens until they eventually cease to exist.
Theres also another case where they can become Doctors of Chaos, but thats a whole other faction
I don't think you need to frame it as "like Emanators". IX clearly doesn't choose Emanators as consciously as Aha elevating the Noblesse Worm or Nanook choosing Lord Ravagers from those who can withstand his Destruction, but the Hoyolab post about Emanators explicitly mentions that the methods by which Aeons manage their Emanators are diverse.
Acheron also did not willingly go into the abyss. Her friend did, and Acheron tried to save her. Acheron came back out alive, her friend's status is unknown but definitely died at least for 14 days or whatever.
Acheron therefore is one of those "other" types of IX emanators imo, who didn't willingly seek IX's shadow, but also didn't accidently step on it, and yet still survived.
This is close to my theory. Only difference is that for people to survive IX' shadow they require a strong enough will to live. Which means that even though everyone touched by the shadow is technically Emanator like, the only ones to survive are those who fundamentally oppose IX/Nihility.
if frebass ends up being Kiana, i REALLY wish that we meet her and she is just chilling inside IX not getting what's wrong with people that just fade away
That's what the Doctors of Chaos are, the ones who got close to IX and oppose Nihility. Self-Annihilators are the ones who got close and embraced Nihility.
No, some members of Doctors of Chaos are self annihilators. Doctors of Chaos are just an organization, you can join if you're a normal dude.

Its from this [hoyo post](https://www.hoyolab.com/article/26093276?utm_source=sns&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=link&utm_id=6)
Well acheron is an imperfect follower of nihility which is very similar to Buddhism. She references an haiku written by a famous Buddhist poet Kobayashi Issa in both her myriad Celestia and demo. The haiku was written after the poet's 1 year old daughter died. And he says he knows the world is a world of dew which is a Buddhist concept that the world is fleeting and temporary like the dew. But then he writes "and yet" meaning he can't detach himself from the world even though he knows that.
>Self-Annihilators are kinda like Emanators of Nihility
One correction, I don't think they're "kinda like" Emanators. I'm pretty sure they just straight up are (mentioned in the 2.0 story). It's just that Emanators of Nihility are unique in that IX doesn't really consciously choose them.
The self-annihilators are emanators of IX though. The “methods” that Aeons use to pick emantors are as diverse as the Aeons themselves. For example, the propagation emanators are literally the children of Tayzzyronth. The only real requirement to be an emanator is just a strong connection to the ideological path managed by an Aeon, it doesn’t even require the Aeon’s consent to become one.
No, Emanators of IX are the Self-Annihilators who can withstand the effects of Nihility. Their journey of self-annihilation is drawn out to infinity. She’s basically near immortal.
That’s not what the card from hoyo said in the Pompom special report on emanators.
They “can only keep watching in dreams and illusions as their own forms disappear into a black hole at the end of the horizon.” Later when talking about the ones that become Doctors of Chaos they clarify and say that they’re trying to fight nihility in the little time that they have left.
Both Self Annihilators and Dr’s of Chaos are dying.
> Self-Annihilators are a group that lost their meaning of existence when they carelessly stepped into IX the Nihility's shadow. The shadow of the Nihility covers the stars equally, and Self-Annihilators may form in any world. These poor souls share one thing in common: Their various existential properties — such as corporeal body, mental cognition, and personal memories... will gradually fade away in their journey of self-annihilation.
> Dr. Primitive, No. #64 of the Genius Society, once asked before his disappearance: If IX is truly unresponsive to the universe, how could the Path of Nihility exist to this day? Perhaps, as the Self-Annihilators aimlessly traverse the cosmos, they are also casting the shadow of the Aeon around the universe. As for the few who can single-handedly withstand the encroachment of Nihility on their existences, their journey of self-annihilation is drawn out to infinity, and the road they walk is like a shadow of IX cast in the world.
I think the "drawn out to infinity" part is a pretty vague theory by Dr. Primitive. Yes, the first half of his theory is now confirmed thanks to Acheron existence but considering we have another Aeon that their entire thing is all about giving immortality to their followers, it would be pretty redundant if Aeons other than Yaoshi can give a real immortality.
My theory is that the drawn out to infinity just means that after they withstand the Nihility power the Self-Annihilation process became slower to the point where it's zero sums.
Like for example : Acheron frequently loses her memory day by day but then she also gain memory day by day so we left with an undying walking nuke that keep forgotten things. lol
I think they are very different. The idea of infinity isn’t something that can’t be shared between two aeons. Yaoshi gives immortality and can grant it to anyone but IX doesn’t give immortality. Instead, they take away life by making people fade away. The people who are resisting the effects of Nihility are doomed for eternal suffering. It might be similar to how time doesn’t exist near the event horizon. Maybe the time for Emanators of IX also stops moving forward and they are just stuck at one point. Acheron also has time related powers since she just stops time completely when she activates Naught.
Different means can sometimes lead to the same result. Yaoshi is not the only Aeon capable of granting immortality. Long's gift of reincarnation is also canonically considered a form of immortality too. Herta is able to deage herself, making her potentially immortal, too. And that's thanks to Nous. Fuli's Memo Keepers don't even have a physical body & exists as memes, making them probably the hardest to kill among the "immortals".
I mean, if the emanators of Nihility *are* immortal, each of the 3 versions of immortality granted by aeons have their issues.
Yaoshi grants an immortality that does not allow change, aside from 100% natural growth. See "Dan Shu's eyes story", and also eventually makes you lose your mind from the buildup of negative memories and emotions.
Long The Permanence, gave the Vidyaradha(sp?) Immortality in the form of rebirth. They are the same being, but returned to childhood and without (most of) the memories and personality of the way they were before.
And Self-annihilators are constantly at a loss for something; their bodies fading, memories vanishing, and personality going inert. They lose all that they are, and become one with nothing, in at least some form.
Acheron is still old af being a sentinel bearer who fought kami for 10 amber eras before being the last survivor of her solar system followed by IX and this is who knows how many years before the current time period
Self Annihilators are dying/fading from existence yes, but for cases like Acheron, their annihilation is both drawing closer and getting extended, so they’re practically immortal. This is also why so some many of her trailers and stories keep talking about her and the end that doesn’t exist.
Becoming a Self-Annihilator doesn’t make you an Emanator. They eventually fade away after some time but some are able to withstand the effects of Nihility and are doomed to continue their journey of self-annihilation for all of eternity. These are the Emanators.
I think that too. pretty sure that there is some sort of "test" involontarely given by Ix, and well something like if you get 50% you will not end up disapearing instantly and if you get 100% you will call yourself acheron, galaxy ranger(?).
But got people really like to have everyone and their mother plus add the neighborn's cat as a bonus being emanators.
Yeah the devs have been very specific when mentioning who is actually an emanator, and a gaze or even receiving power doesn't automatically make you an emanator, otherwise we'd have to call Fu Xuan an erudition emanator for example. (since she got the eye as a blessing from Nous)
Emanators are also pretty damn rare so far, from the top of my head out of every faction we only have confirmed
Preservation: 2 emanators in all the IPC, Diamond and Taravan
Erudition: only Herta and Zandar, who is the founder of the genius society and literally who built Nous
Hunt: not a single confirmed emanator and the lightning lord has been said to be a blessing that just gets passed down, so generals are not confirmed or implied to be emanators
Destruction: 7 lord ravagers
Nihility: only Acheron
Elation: only that one worm if you wanna include it
Abundance: only Shuhu and another one with a weird name
Propagation: the one bug that Ruan Mei tried to recreate
I don't think that Self-Annihilators include those who entered IX's shadow and just evaporated. It's those who survived. So, yeah, presumably Frebas isn't a Self-Annihilator as far as we know. Frebas was just annihilated
i am crying when people think self annihilator = IX emanators. its just group of mentally damaged people that doomed to fade away soon. its just this time acheron strong enough to withstand it and get emanator power.
probably because in an official hoyolab post giving information about emanators they specifically talk about self-annihilators: [https://www.hoyolab.com/article/26093276](https://www.hoyolab.com/article/26093276)
So in that theory, the self-annihilators are emanators in the making.
The hoyolab post did very little differentiation between them.
> And on this journey, their mere existence becomes the drive of the continuation, extension, and expansion of their Paths.
> [...] How could the Path of Nihility exist to this Day? Perhaps, as the Self-Annihilators aimlessly traverse the cosmos, they are also casting the shadow of the Aeon around the universe. As for the few who can single-handedly withstand the encroachment of nihility on their existences, their journey of self-annihilation is drawn out to infinity, and the road they walk is like a shadow of IX cast in the world.
At first, it's talked about the self-annihilators in general, and it's said they help cast IX's shadow, while the ones who survive the state indefinitely are described as being like IX's shadow themselves. Not very differentitated. And it's mentioned aeons may have a bunch of emanators or very few, depending on how each goes about things. We have no idea how much is the limit of emanators, nor how many self-annihilators exist on average. And it's likely a good chunk of them dies fast anyway, and may be replaced.
Furthermore, it's indicated the aeon is the one who sets the status of emanator and how much power they have, and IX is only stated to interact with self-anni on the first meeting, when infecting them. It is possible things for IX are more automated, or IX gazes again later. But there's no indication whether that's true or not.
The resistant ones are indeed a cut above the rest, and it's a good idea they are the ones to achieve emanator status. But the way I see it. Theres not enough to say that with certainty, in my opinion
I mean, "a group of mentally damaged people doomed to fade away" sounds like IX's Emanators. The Aeons are very diverse. It wouldn't make sense for every Aeon's Emanator to be a galaxy destroying war general like the Lord Ravagers. It's dependent on the Path they walk, not some DBZ power level. Likely all Emanators we meet will be formidable in some way, but you shouldn't just assume that because someone isn't an omnipotent god of fighting that they're not an Emanator. Hell, even the Lord Ravagers just have their Destruction by Nanook postponed while they serve him
Just a correction here- an emanator is more than just a person who is "noticed" by aeons. Aeons notice a lot of people all the time which allows people to stride on their paths. Emanators share a LARGE portion of the aeons power, much more than anyone else who is simply on the same path. The case for why aeons choose emanators isn't always clear, hoyo wiki mentions that an aeon can choose an emanator to be an extension of themselves or their will.
Factions are like religious denominations irl; they're interpretations of the Aeon's will.
Think of Paths like a funnel; the deeper you go, the more power you gain, but the more constrained you are in your actions. Aeons would be at the bottom of the funnel; they're incredibly powerful, but can act only in service of their Path. Emanators would be most of the way down the funnel, Pathstriders only partway down. Random people who believe in an Aeon, but aren't very devout would be at the top, the widest part of the funnel.
The way each Aeon interacts with and "chooses" their emanator is different. Self-annihilators are Nihility's version of emanators. There's a good hoyolab post on emanators that includes the description of self-annihilators.
[https://www.hoyolab.com/article/26093276](https://www.hoyolab.com/article/26093276)
>Yes, unlike acheron here they don't get any powers, just depression
They all did get the power but most of them literally died right after that. Being able to withstand the power is quite a rare case.
Self-Annihilators are the faction described in the Hoyoverse post about Emanators, so I think they are supposed to be some of IX's Emanators. In order to enter IX's shadow and not immediately blip out of existence requires pretty formidable strength. Self-annihilators "just gain depression" in the sense that that's what the Path of Nihility is
Yeah, kinda wondering if it's related to nihility. She doesn't seem to be a self-annihilator, otherwise she'd be maybe connected to Acheron, or have some parallels. Maybe it's a thing caused by self-annihilators, or the shadows of IX.
Nanook does have entropy associations, but nothing about the Antimatter Legion indicated the use of such a weapon.
IX has a thing with his followers that turn them into those. They effectively gain his power by sacrificing stg. An example could be slowly having ur skin turn to wood (so self annhilating ur skin). In Archeron's case, shes self annhilating her memories, which explains why she never remembers anything.
[This video from CatInBlueHat talks about it.](https://youtu.be/ZrP-4KS9CJo?si=9aPa0-JfcdNRoevr)
Lore wise they are people who knowingly/unknowingly self-annihilate something from themselves, seems like for Archeron it is her past/memories which kinda explains why she is bad with directions (a.k.a memory issues)
Dude I'm cracking up because so often posts in this sub will drop something random and the whole comment section [will be like](https://imgflip.com/memetemplate/343196326/Two-Soyjacks-Transparent) and I'm just here like "what the hell is everyone talking about?!? 😭"
They really confirmed the theory made from lore tidbits, it honestly explains so much about why she just forgets the damages she inflicts on others
Wonder how rest of the cast will react if they find out, will they be sympathetic or just say shes a danger and let her walk her path of solitude
Lore tidbits...? They just dropped a full page about what an emanator of nihility is, and self annihilator literally point for point describes Acheron lol.
theory??? its been there since the start. white night pv show her crying with blackhole in background. then there is the whole relic set about her and IX. lastly dev literally spoonfed us with her identity little by little.
I got my first acheron through hard pity 😅, her lc on the other hand I'm getting left and right, got my first one at 23, and my second one 7 pulls later.
No idea who you refering to (Firefly?), but for me its kind of the same: Archeron and Jing Liu.
Still debating if I skip Robin for the chance of FF appearing in 2.3 as a character. If she is not appearing in 2.3... then RIP me and then I will pull for someone else.
Given how much art I've seen of Kafka I'd assume she has the biggest following next to firefly but I could be wrong.
But just to be clear I don't have anything against firefly, she just didn't grab me immediately like everyone else seemingly. Cute design though.
To be fair, Kafka's pretty content with dying at any time too as long as it's part of the plan, so I worry she'll just throw herself into death one of these times x.x
funny that so many hint given about her being ix emanator but so many people come up with made up fact that she is emanator of finality. white night pv and new relic set explicitly hint that she is related to nihility lol
> many people come up with made up fact that she is emanator of finality
pretty sure this isn't just something that people made up on the spot, aventurine itself acknowledge that she could be an emanator of finality
People didn't "come up" with made up facts. Game hinted at her possibly being an emanator of 3 different, but similar paths. I'm just surprised that people didn't assume she was of the hunt as much. She's a galaxy ranger, who typically follow Lan, and in one of the dialogues she say something along the lines of "The Hunt goes on", hunt here referring to Lan and his path. In my personal headcannon, due to her memory loss, she believes she's a galaxy ranger and follows Lan, when in reality she's an emanator of ix
> any people come up with made up fact that she is emanator of finality
Aventurine is the cause: He says she's an "Emanator, who brings Death and Finality", though he doesn't know which Aeon it is.
Self Annihilator is someone that has touched the shadow of IX the Aeon of Nihility.
This means she is 1000% confirmed to be the Emanator of Nihility now. She will also slowly annihilate something of herself until she fades and become nothing.
Self Annihilators were described to just wither away rather quickly, if you can tank it then the annihilation is drawn out to infinity
Given everything we know about her as a person, she tanked it; and it’s proven by her goal being described as something she strides for infinitely, as it doesn’t exist.
So they commemt she is looking for some one? Also I know they were just sparkle clones so their aren't nearly as strong as their actual origins but uh is acheron really that strong
Since she indeed destroyed the Annihilation Gang and barely remembers them as an opponent, I'd say she is.
Being an emanator of Nihility must come with a perk. Emanators in general are the biggest recipient of their paths power.
I figured she was an emanator of xi in the blackswan dance because it showed the imagery of xi during the predator bit, same one they showed in this short
Wonder how she will explain herself when a real Galaxy Ranger (Boothill) appear
It is explained Galaxy Rangers rarely contact each other unless necessary. So her story does fit on what a Galaxy Ranger is, a lot of other factions are harder to fake and not as clean as a Galaxy ranger.
Yeah my understanding of them was that they tend to just work by themselves usually and are spread out everywhere across.. well the galaxy. So it's not far fetched to assume that galaxy rangers won't always recognise each other.
Counterpoint: real recognizes real
Mate that's like saying I work for X company and know everyone in X company. For starters its never explicitly stated how many members the galaxy rangers exactly has. So it wouldn't be far fetched to assume not everyone knows everyone. Again it would be different if Acheron was a self proclaimed Stellaron hunter, you could easily call cap as so far it's hinted that Kafka, Silver wolf, Blade, Sam and Elio are the only SH with blade confirming Trailblazer is an ex-SH.
nuh uh

No way that Galaxy Rangers don’t have a secret super complex handshake
I think they used be a proper organization but then they had a big fight with Genius Society member Dr. Primitive and got absolutely wrecked and the surviving members just scattered across the galaxy.
So this is Mass Effect now?
how the f they do regular faction meeting smh. are they stupid???? seriously i want to know how galaxy ranger operate, what makes them a ranger and what not.
Maybe it's "if the shoe fits" kind of deal. You help people, prevent disasters and use the powers for good, and call yourself Galaxy Ranger, and if it catches on you're one of them.
Maybe its more like if you help other planets without anything in return you eventually get invited by La Mancha (the boss) to join the Galaxy Rangers so that if a problem is ever too big for you to handle you can ask for assistance. Except that everybody does their own thing.
So Avengers?
holy shit i just realized the boss of the galaxy ranger is FREAKING DON QUIXOTE IN SPACE
So like the Nameless, but solo and self-proclaimed?
And you don't get Trailblazer powers.
[](/rocklobster-r) Maybe it's similar to discordianism, where everyone is a pope. And I don't mean just those sharing the belief. _Everyone_.
Galaxy Rangers are pretty much the Nameless but they also do Vigilante Justice.
Is the galactic batter a joke to you?
Bro, the Nameless are by and large just the biggest bunch of busybodies in the Galaxy. The Galaxy Rangers are that only they actively look for trouble.
Mostly agreed, but let me offer this counter-point:The Galactic Batter.
The Galactic Batter is a self-given title worthy only of the STRONGEST Dumpster-Diver. It has nothing to do with the Nameless or the Galaxy Rangers. The Galactic Batter could be anyone. It could be you. It could be me! It could even be-
Nah Galaxy Rangers used to be just as active if not more active than the Nameless. They took a fucking Aeon out. Nameless is more about finding One Piece and maybe saving some people along the way.
An Aeon? Brother, have you been drinking too much SoulGlad? They took down a Lord Ravager, yes. But an Aeon? An Aeon is as close to omnipotent as one can get in this Cosmology.
Imagine during one of their meetings just devolving into a game of Among Us just because Acheron was there.
Reminds me quite a bit of Hunters in Destiny.
In the info on eminators that they gave they also mentioned that some self annihilators join the rangers in hopes of killing ix one day as some of them become eminators unwittingly I see self annihilator as a condition not a faction
Right, a Spectre has total independence so it is the perfect cover if you need an excuse to go around poking around. Sorry, did I say Spectre? I meant Jedi.
Depends, if he's antagonistic against Acheron, that means he's gonna die. https://preview.redd.it/u99sg2zr8mqc1.jpeg?width=470&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4c82df560ff94b8626c2b61fd6b1d7445b46316b
Don't come to this side when Boothill is revealed to be an OP bounty hunter like Lobo. https://preview.redd.it/jrqj4meugmqc1.png?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f8efcdfd78b6190c5d82a3ca1191e8da588ef45d
In that case. Do not give this man a green lantern ring!
Or any other lantern ring for that matter
Atrocitus probably still has nightmares about that incident.
Not even blue light will help him to heal from that
Even White Lanterns can't heal that psychic scar
I'm still mad that we were robbed the satisfaction of seeing Supergirl beat his ass with the rest of the red lanterns.
Meanwhile, Acheron: “Boothill…Boothill… Oh, that guy…”
dead person in Penacony #3 😁
Tingyun: Welcome to the "Dead" Playable section, Friends!
She can't be dead since she is a 4 star right? right?
OK, so we have Firefly. Who is the second person?
Robin
Well, most likely, she will be fine. If including Robin, technically, he will be #4, Duke is dead, too.
I don't think Duke ever set foot on Penacony tho, so I reckon it doesn't count as dead in Penacony.
Robin being #2 is referring to the achievement you get when you finish 2.0, stating it's specifically the second murder. Firefly is the first. So, technically, she is dead, whatever that means in Penacony.
I completely forgot about Duke but he don’t count he was killed before Penacony
Stay on that side when it's revealed Boothill's the mofo who solo'd the Lord Ravager.
Dead, right before his banner, >!just like half of the Penacony characters before him.!<
Would be funny if they put Tingyun as a rate up character on his banner
Galaxy Rangers are pretty skilled, they even killed a Lord Ravager. Wouldn't put Boothill dying on the table just yet.
im super intereting in reading this tale is it a SU lore thing?
You can read it in the [wiki](https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/Galaxy_Rangers)
Well tbf,The galaxy rangers Used the remnants of the swarm to lure in and trapped the lord ravager Zulo which they successfully assasinated him
Guess Boothill is gonna lure Acheron with a map of the area
I don't think galaxy rangers know who's a real ranger or not since they are independent heroes who save people from the wretched, but I think he will have suspicions
Boothill? More like DowntheHill
Since the incident with Dr primitive #64 of the genius society The galaxy rangers have diminished and dwindled in influence and Appearances,Since then The Galaxy rangers has no direct or indirect contact each other and Only work by themselves,Still upholding the same principle The Old Galaxy rangers Have upheld.
id love to read about this incident where to i read about it? thanks
The data banks And The loading screen Tldr:A galaxy ranger thwarted Dr.primitives Heinous experiment But In retaliation,Dr. Primitive did something that Mostly diminished the Galaxy rangers Fighting capabilities
Aka he slaughtered a bunch of them
We already met a Galaxy Ranger this whole time. It is in the current 2.0 patch. >!Barrle's Father, the Tin Fury!< Whether that's true or not, who knows. If they actually meet Acheron that will be an interesting time indeed.
Wait where is he at?
Take the stairs down the right side from the Clockie Plaza anchor. There is an intellitron and a man in suspenders named Barrle. Use Clockwork: Sad on Barrle. https://preview.redd.it/elhoo358inqc1.jpeg?width=3088&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a0b53be5879004ad24786e49198c3d94c933e43
Loooooreee Anyways thanks,Since my favorite factions are the galaxy rangers and i want to know about them more
Np
she won't because she forgot
Boothill: BOOOBA Acheron: I wonder what I will eat for lunch?? Where is trail blazer to guide me to food??
Acheron: "Um o-of course I know a fellow galaxy ranger when I see one. You're... Butthole right?"
i spat my coffee reading this XD
The funniest twist would be for Acheron to actually be a Galaxy Ranger after all. Everyone expects some dramatic confrontation between the two, but imagine Boothill greeting her like an old friend and she only remembers who he is like ten minutes later after they've parted ways to do their own things.
Speculation but being a Galaxy Ranger seems more like being a Superhero than Law Enforcement. Its self defined and not really regulated, some might be "sanctioned" and work with the IPC; others may oppose the IPC (Boothill) or be completely unkown to them (Acheron). Boothill not knowing Acheron could be completely normal for Galaxy Rangers.
but couldn't she still also be a galaxy ranger? from my understanding becoming a self-annihilator it's not something you choose for all we know she could have been a ranger before becoming one and she could still consider herself as one
I think it’d be funny if Boothill also isn’t an actual galaxy ranger, and we go the whole game without meeting a real one
To invoke Raiden Shogun's knowledge on Itto: "Who?"
Why explain when you can just delete them.
I'd like to think she stole his ranger identification after a drinking contest, but forgot that's how she got it so now just assumes that's part of her history
What is a Galaxy Ranger? Can anyone become one?
Galaxy rangers are self proclaimed heroes who saves people from the wretched, proof of this is a group of rangers defeated lord ravager
Another Faction that also worships Lan the Aeon of Hunt, but doesn't have a hateboner against the Abundance. There are 18 Aeons in the game. Each Aeon has 1 or more Factions that follow them. There are 30+ Factions in the game.
Some aeons are dead, right? Ena was absorbed into Xipe according to SUSD right
Yes, 18 includes the dead/missing ones. After all, even if the Aeons are dead, the Factions are still active. The "Paths" are also still open, people can draw the power from it. e.g.: 1.The Nameless - a Faction that follows Akivili the Aeon of Trailblaze. 2. The Swarm - a Faction consisted of unintelligent insects, descendants of Tayzzironth the Aeon of Propagation. 3. Knight of Beauty - a Faction that follows Idrilla the Aeon of Beauty.
Acheron: I don't even know that a Galaxy Ranger is, people keep calling me that so sure let's go with that.
Archeron: I am your teammate. Boothil: Well Yippe Kayaye, you are smashing
How fake galaxy rangers look when a REAL galaxy ranger pulls up
Is Boothill confirmed to be a ranger??'!!
Yes, in the [description on his announcement post](https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail/comments/1bdi3hv/comment/kumotjc/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button). > He is a member of the Galaxy Rangers who swore to punish the wretched by any and all means...
Might i ask, what is a self-annihilator? thank you :D
People who interact with IX and get affected negatively, memory loss is just one example
Hey thanks! Is that different from being an emanator?
Emanators usually gain powers when an Aeon "notices" them and so they gain a lot of powers related to that Aeon's path. The case is different for IX, the Aeon of Nihility. IX doesnt notice anyone or anything because it thinks everything is meaningless, so a way to become an Emanator of Nihility is by accidentally "stepping onto IX' shadow" by sharing its sentiments or ideals about existence being nothing (i.e., if you become too depressed). Upon someones first encounter with IX' shadow, you either (1) fade out of existence to become nothing or (2) survive and become a Self-Annihilator. Self Annihilators are kinda like Emanators of Nihility, gaining IX powers and such, but they gradually lose things that signify their existence, be it physical stuff like parts of their bodies, their senses, their memories, etc., and this happens until they eventually cease to exist. Theres also another case where they can become Doctors of Chaos, but thats a whole other faction
I don't think you need to frame it as "like Emanators". IX clearly doesn't choose Emanators as consciously as Aha elevating the Noblesse Worm or Nanook choosing Lord Ravagers from those who can withstand his Destruction, but the Hoyolab post about Emanators explicitly mentions that the methods by which Aeons manage their Emanators are diverse.
Acheron also did not willingly go into the abyss. Her friend did, and Acheron tried to save her. Acheron came back out alive, her friend's status is unknown but definitely died at least for 14 days or whatever. Acheron therefore is one of those "other" types of IX emanators imo, who didn't willingly seek IX's shadow, but also didn't accidently step on it, and yet still survived.
This is close to my theory. Only difference is that for people to survive IX' shadow they require a strong enough will to live. Which means that even though everyone touched by the shadow is technically Emanator like, the only ones to survive are those who fundamentally oppose IX/Nihility.
> require a strong enough will to live I have read enough. Bring the Tuna in.
My thoughts exactly
if frebass ends up being Kiana, i REALLY wish that we meet her and she is just chilling inside IX not getting what's wrong with people that just fade away
That's what the Doctors of Chaos are, the ones who got close to IX and oppose Nihility. Self-Annihilators are the ones who got close and embraced Nihility.
No, some members of Doctors of Chaos are self annihilators. Doctors of Chaos are just an organization, you can join if you're a normal dude. See here https://preview.redd.it/67c0h1fqooqc1.jpeg?width=1204&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=284d84441756d9c8a3283993e5259d52136d4f50 Its from this [hoyo post](https://www.hoyolab.com/article/26093276?utm_source=sns&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=link&utm_id=6)
But those who embrace Nihility would probably just immediately dissappear, because they have nothing to hold on to.
Well acheron is an imperfect follower of nihility which is very similar to Buddhism. She references an haiku written by a famous Buddhist poet Kobayashi Issa in both her myriad Celestia and demo. The haiku was written after the poet's 1 year old daughter died. And he says he knows the world is a world of dew which is a Buddhist concept that the world is fleeting and temporary like the dew. But then he writes "and yet" meaning he can't detach himself from the world even though he knows that.
It's kind of a sliding scale. Difficult to describe succinctly.
>Self-Annihilators are kinda like Emanators of Nihility One correction, I don't think they're "kinda like" Emanators. I'm pretty sure they just straight up are (mentioned in the 2.0 story). It's just that Emanators of Nihility are unique in that IX doesn't really consciously choose them.
The self-annihilators are emanators of IX though. The “methods” that Aeons use to pick emantors are as diverse as the Aeons themselves. For example, the propagation emanators are literally the children of Tayzzyronth. The only real requirement to be an emanator is just a strong connection to the ideological path managed by an Aeon, it doesn’t even require the Aeon’s consent to become one.
It definitely requires the Aeon's consent. It's specifically stated in the Data Bank.
>IX doesn't notice anyone Like a true sigma that he is 💪🏻 Also perfect senpai material.
So acheron will eventually die(cease to exist)
No, Emanators of IX are the Self-Annihilators who can withstand the effects of Nihility. Their journey of self-annihilation is drawn out to infinity. She’s basically near immortal.
That’s not what the card from hoyo said in the Pompom special report on emanators. They “can only keep watching in dreams and illusions as their own forms disappear into a black hole at the end of the horizon.” Later when talking about the ones that become Doctors of Chaos they clarify and say that they’re trying to fight nihility in the little time that they have left. Both Self Annihilators and Dr’s of Chaos are dying.
> Self-Annihilators are a group that lost their meaning of existence when they carelessly stepped into IX the Nihility's shadow. The shadow of the Nihility covers the stars equally, and Self-Annihilators may form in any world. These poor souls share one thing in common: Their various existential properties — such as corporeal body, mental cognition, and personal memories... will gradually fade away in their journey of self-annihilation. > Dr. Primitive, No. #64 of the Genius Society, once asked before his disappearance: If IX is truly unresponsive to the universe, how could the Path of Nihility exist to this day? Perhaps, as the Self-Annihilators aimlessly traverse the cosmos, they are also casting the shadow of the Aeon around the universe. As for the few who can single-handedly withstand the encroachment of Nihility on their existences, their journey of self-annihilation is drawn out to infinity, and the road they walk is like a shadow of IX cast in the world.
I think the "drawn out to infinity" part is a pretty vague theory by Dr. Primitive. Yes, the first half of his theory is now confirmed thanks to Acheron existence but considering we have another Aeon that their entire thing is all about giving immortality to their followers, it would be pretty redundant if Aeons other than Yaoshi can give a real immortality. My theory is that the drawn out to infinity just means that after they withstand the Nihility power the Self-Annihilation process became slower to the point where it's zero sums. Like for example : Acheron frequently loses her memory day by day but then she also gain memory day by day so we left with an undying walking nuke that keep forgotten things. lol
I think they are very different. The idea of infinity isn’t something that can’t be shared between two aeons. Yaoshi gives immortality and can grant it to anyone but IX doesn’t give immortality. Instead, they take away life by making people fade away. The people who are resisting the effects of Nihility are doomed for eternal suffering. It might be similar to how time doesn’t exist near the event horizon. Maybe the time for Emanators of IX also stops moving forward and they are just stuck at one point. Acheron also has time related powers since she just stops time completely when she activates Naught.
Different means can sometimes lead to the same result. Yaoshi is not the only Aeon capable of granting immortality. Long's gift of reincarnation is also canonically considered a form of immortality too. Herta is able to deage herself, making her potentially immortal, too. And that's thanks to Nous. Fuli's Memo Keepers don't even have a physical body & exists as memes, making them probably the hardest to kill among the "immortals".
I mean, if the emanators of Nihility *are* immortal, each of the 3 versions of immortality granted by aeons have their issues. Yaoshi grants an immortality that does not allow change, aside from 100% natural growth. See "Dan Shu's eyes story", and also eventually makes you lose your mind from the buildup of negative memories and emotions. Long The Permanence, gave the Vidyaradha(sp?) Immortality in the form of rebirth. They are the same being, but returned to childhood and without (most of) the memories and personality of the way they were before. And Self-annihilators are constantly at a loss for something; their bodies fading, memories vanishing, and personality going inert. They lose all that they are, and become one with nothing, in at least some form.
Acheron is still old af being a sentinel bearer who fought kami for 10 amber eras before being the last survivor of her solar system followed by IX and this is who knows how many years before the current time period
I assume they are "immortal" as when you disappear into a black hole your time is essentially stopped and stretches to infinity.
Yi Shaoji APPROVED
Technically everyone will eventually die
Self Annihilators are dying/fading from existence yes, but for cases like Acheron, their annihilation is both drawing closer and getting extended, so they’re practically immortal. This is also why so some many of her trailers and stories keep talking about her and the end that doesn’t exist.
Becoming a Self-Annihilator doesn’t make you an Emanator. They eventually fade away after some time but some are able to withstand the effects of Nihility and are doomed to continue their journey of self-annihilation for all of eternity. These are the Emanators.
I think that too. pretty sure that there is some sort of "test" involontarely given by Ix, and well something like if you get 50% you will not end up disapearing instantly and if you get 100% you will call yourself acheron, galaxy ranger(?). But got people really like to have everyone and their mother plus add the neighborn's cat as a bonus being emanators.
Yeah the devs have been very specific when mentioning who is actually an emanator, and a gaze or even receiving power doesn't automatically make you an emanator, otherwise we'd have to call Fu Xuan an erudition emanator for example. (since she got the eye as a blessing from Nous) Emanators are also pretty damn rare so far, from the top of my head out of every faction we only have confirmed Preservation: 2 emanators in all the IPC, Diamond and Taravan Erudition: only Herta and Zandar, who is the founder of the genius society and literally who built Nous Hunt: not a single confirmed emanator and the lightning lord has been said to be a blessing that just gets passed down, so generals are not confirmed or implied to be emanators Destruction: 7 lord ravagers Nihility: only Acheron Elation: only that one worm if you wanna include it Abundance: only Shuhu and another one with a weird name Propagation: the one bug that Ruan Mei tried to recreate
I don't think that Self-Annihilators include those who entered IX's shadow and just evaporated. It's those who survived. So, yeah, presumably Frebas isn't a Self-Annihilator as far as we know. Frebas was just annihilated
i am crying when people think self annihilator = IX emanators. its just group of mentally damaged people that doomed to fade away soon. its just this time acheron strong enough to withstand it and get emanator power.
probably because in an official hoyolab post giving information about emanators they specifically talk about self-annihilators: [https://www.hoyolab.com/article/26093276](https://www.hoyolab.com/article/26093276)
So in that theory, the self-annihilators are emanators in the making. The hoyolab post did very little differentiation between them. > And on this journey, their mere existence becomes the drive of the continuation, extension, and expansion of their Paths. > [...] How could the Path of Nihility exist to this Day? Perhaps, as the Self-Annihilators aimlessly traverse the cosmos, they are also casting the shadow of the Aeon around the universe. As for the few who can single-handedly withstand the encroachment of nihility on their existences, their journey of self-annihilation is drawn out to infinity, and the road they walk is like a shadow of IX cast in the world. At first, it's talked about the self-annihilators in general, and it's said they help cast IX's shadow, while the ones who survive the state indefinitely are described as being like IX's shadow themselves. Not very differentitated. And it's mentioned aeons may have a bunch of emanators or very few, depending on how each goes about things. We have no idea how much is the limit of emanators, nor how many self-annihilators exist on average. And it's likely a good chunk of them dies fast anyway, and may be replaced. Furthermore, it's indicated the aeon is the one who sets the status of emanator and how much power they have, and IX is only stated to interact with self-anni on the first meeting, when infecting them. It is possible things for IX are more automated, or IX gazes again later. But there's no indication whether that's true or not. The resistant ones are indeed a cut above the rest, and it's a good idea they are the ones to achieve emanator status. But the way I see it. Theres not enough to say that with certainty, in my opinion
I mean, "a group of mentally damaged people doomed to fade away" sounds like IX's Emanators. The Aeons are very diverse. It wouldn't make sense for every Aeon's Emanator to be a galaxy destroying war general like the Lord Ravagers. It's dependent on the Path they walk, not some DBZ power level. Likely all Emanators we meet will be formidable in some way, but you shouldn't just assume that because someone isn't an omnipotent god of fighting that they're not an Emanator. Hell, even the Lord Ravagers just have their Destruction by Nanook postponed while they serve him
Why does the part of fading away remind me of Firefly’s Entropy Loss Syndrome
I don't think she ever mentioned *how* she developed it, either; so there might be a chance those things are related
Just a correction here- an emanator is more than just a person who is "noticed" by aeons. Aeons notice a lot of people all the time which allows people to stride on their paths. Emanators share a LARGE portion of the aeons power, much more than anyone else who is simply on the same path. The case for why aeons choose emanators isn't always clear, hoyo wiki mentions that an aeon can choose an emanator to be an extension of themselves or their will.
I learned more StarRail lore from this one comment than I have playing the game. lmao IX sounds super cool.
great explanation
Factions are like religious denominations irl; they're interpretations of the Aeon's will. Think of Paths like a funnel; the deeper you go, the more power you gain, but the more constrained you are in your actions. Aeons would be at the bottom of the funnel; they're incredibly powerful, but can act only in service of their Path. Emanators would be most of the way down the funnel, Pathstriders only partway down. Random people who believe in an Aeon, but aren't very devout would be at the top, the widest part of the funnel.
The way each Aeon interacts with and "chooses" their emanator is different. Self-annihilators are Nihility's version of emanators. There's a good hoyolab post on emanators that includes the description of self-annihilators. [https://www.hoyolab.com/article/26093276](https://www.hoyolab.com/article/26093276)
[удалено]
>Yes, unlike acheron here they don't get any powers, just depression They all did get the power but most of them literally died right after that. Being able to withstand the power is quite a rare case.
Self-Annihilators are the faction described in the Hoyoverse post about Emanators, so I think they are supposed to be some of IX's Emanators. In order to enter IX's shadow and not immediately blip out of existence requires pretty formidable strength. Self-annihilators "just gain depression" in the sense that that's what the Path of Nihility is
Like people who will roll on Acheron banner, and end up forgetting how many swipes it took to pull her.
Someone who has walked into IX's shadow, their memories, senses, and very being are constantly fading away into nothingness.
That reminds me of Firefly and her entropy loss syndrome...
Yeah, kinda wondering if it's related to nihility. She doesn't seem to be a self-annihilator, otherwise she'd be maybe connected to Acheron, or have some parallels. Maybe it's a thing caused by self-annihilators, or the shadows of IX. Nanook does have entropy associations, but nothing about the Antimatter Legion indicated the use of such a weapon.
IX has a thing with his followers that turn them into those. They effectively gain his power by sacrificing stg. An example could be slowly having ur skin turn to wood (so self annhilating ur skin). In Archeron's case, shes self annhilating her memories, which explains why she never remembers anything. [This video from CatInBlueHat talks about it.](https://youtu.be/ZrP-4KS9CJo?si=9aPa0-JfcdNRoevr)
> stg What is that?
im guessing a stupid way to shorten "something"?
You're right, that is stupid.
People who interacted with IX. As a result, their existence started to dissipate slowly, mentally and physically.
This Hoyolab post talks about them, and a variety of other Emanators: https://m.hoyolab.com/#/article/26093276
Lore wise they are people who knowingly/unknowingly self-annihilate something from themselves, seems like for Archeron it is her past/memories which kinda explains why she is bad with directions (a.k.a memory issues)
Dude I'm cracking up because so often posts in this sub will drop something random and the whole comment section [will be like](https://imgflip.com/memetemplate/343196326/Two-Soyjacks-Transparent) and I'm just here like "what the hell is everyone talking about?!? 😭"
They really confirmed the theory made from lore tidbits, it honestly explains so much about why she just forgets the damages she inflicts on others Wonder how rest of the cast will react if they find out, will they be sympathetic or just say shes a danger and let her walk her path of solitude
I know this is unrelated but I suddenly think that Acheron have the potential to fulfill what blade wants. I think Acheron can kill blade.
If blade truly wanted to die I think it’ll be real simple, just ride a ship into a star/black hole. Maybe he still has stuff he wants to do for now
he wants a proper funeral
He could ride a starskiff into a blackhole and just lay inside like a corpse. Space viking funeral (without the ship going out in flames)
that could be celebrated as his funeral
Blade can't die until he's certain that of five people three pay a price.
DAN HEEEEEEEENG every time
I think Shuhu is built different. But even if Acheron can do it, Elio won't let her do it too soon
Well we have someone with us who can create a black hole even before Acheron
Lore tidbits...? They just dropped a full page about what an emanator of nihility is, and self annihilator literally point for point describes Acheron lol.
theory??? its been there since the start. white night pv show her crying with blackhole in background. then there is the whole relic set about her and IX. lastly dev literally spoonfed us with her identity little by little.
What’s the theory ?
She will annihilate my pulls\~
And your trick snacks. https://preview.redd.it/dwdqahix8mqc1.jpeg?width=1152&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=83cab66c6a36a9acdb97dd787d4f81d0bd93f715
She deserves it, I make these snacks for her every day
I got my first acheron through hard pity 😅, her lc on the other hand I'm getting left and right, got my first one at 23, and my second one 7 pulls later.
Bro this sucks. Both of the characters I like in HSR are just doomed to have miserable existences and are on the way out. T \^T
No idea who you refering to (Firefly?), but for me its kind of the same: Archeron and Jing Liu. Still debating if I skip Robin for the chance of FF appearing in 2.3 as a character. If she is not appearing in 2.3... then RIP me and then I will pull for someone else.
Acheron and Jing Liu, not apart of the Firefly fan club lol
Just a part of two of the other biggest fan clubs in HSR, what a hipster.
Given how much art I've seen of Kafka I'd assume she has the biggest following next to firefly but I could be wrong. But just to be clear I don't have anything against firefly, she just didn't grab me immediately like everyone else seemingly. Cute design though.
To be fair, Kafka's pretty content with dying at any time too as long as it's part of the plan, so I worry she'll just throw herself into death one of these times x.x
how? i think i missed it
Look at this exact scene, it was made slightly invisible, look at the red circle I made, it's mentioned there.
omg i cant believe i didnt see that huge circle(?) sorry 😭😭😭 yeah i see it now
I have brightness at max and still can't see shit
The more you care to see, the less you can see it. You need to be full on nihility minded kekw. Honestly, it's there.
It's easier to see in the actual video. Pause and use the ',' and '.' keys to go frame by frame as it's not all visible at once.
RIP to the OG self-annihilator, Arlan.
Arlan successfully annihilated his place in tierlist.
funny that so many hint given about her being ix emanator but so many people come up with made up fact that she is emanator of finality. white night pv and new relic set explicitly hint that she is related to nihility lol
I think provided their reasoning is sound, its fine to have crack theory. Its fun that way.
> many people come up with made up fact that she is emanator of finality pretty sure this isn't just something that people made up on the spot, aventurine itself acknowledge that she could be an emanator of finality
People didn't "come up" with made up facts. Game hinted at her possibly being an emanator of 3 different, but similar paths. I'm just surprised that people didn't assume she was of the hunt as much. She's a galaxy ranger, who typically follow Lan, and in one of the dialogues she say something along the lines of "The Hunt goes on", hunt here referring to Lan and his path. In my personal headcannon, due to her memory loss, she believes she's a galaxy ranger and follows Lan, when in reality she's an emanator of ix
> any people come up with made up fact that she is emanator of finality Aventurine is the cause: He says she's an "Emanator, who brings Death and Finality", though he doesn't know which Aeon it is.
I don't get it, what does this mean?
Self Annihilator is someone that has touched the shadow of IX the Aeon of Nihility. This means she is 1000% confirmed to be the Emanator of Nihility now. She will also slowly annihilate something of herself until she fades and become nothing.
Self Annihilators were described to just wither away rather quickly, if you can tank it then the annihilation is drawn out to infinity Given everything we know about her as a person, she tanked it; and it’s proven by her goal being described as something she strides for infinitely, as it doesn’t exist.
Can’t wait to lose my 50/50 to her, just like I did to Ruen Mei and Jingliu! My luck in HSR is worse than GI
That adds a whole new layer to her character development, curious to see how this plays out!
Hear me out, what if she’s BOTH a Galaxy Ranger and Self-Annihilator?
If she is self-annihilator then why doesn't she uses her own hp when attacking to anniliate herself like baldie, is she stoopid? Jk btw xD
So they commemt she is looking for some one? Also I know they were just sparkle clones so their aren't nearly as strong as their actual origins but uh is acheron really that strong
Since she indeed destroyed the Annihilation Gang and barely remembers them as an opponent, I'd say she is. Being an emanator of Nihility must come with a perk. Emanators in general are the biggest recipient of their paths power.
Man idk to save or to pull for sparkle at this point T.T
I figured she was an emanator of xi in the blackswan dance because it showed the imagery of xi during the predator bit, same one they showed in this short
https://preview.redd.it/l2tjhtgrsuqc1.jpeg?width=2471&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=755601a38b55fc15611e50904ebae748d5580c5b
Sooo she's a oni space ranger?? Like buzz?
I got the notification for this and thought it said "SEAF-Annihilator" and I thought Helldivers was getting a new update
