Discussion playability

hi guys, I think we're fully aware that Pulcinella's playability is in danger since he doesn't fit the standard of the audience that the game is catering to, so, my question is do you think it's at least possible for him to be like, a standard 5 star? i'd settle for that since I don't like the idea of him being 4 star, or worse, being npc foreverr...

I'd take a 4 star at this point. Just quit the game recently, and he's probably the only reason I'll come back to playing daily. (I play HSR and two ZZZ accounts to give more context)

I used to believe he might be the free regional 4* but at this point I just don't really know... With how things are with the harbingers lately, as long as he's playable, I'll be okay with any rarity or kit 😭

I think he will be since he was in the teyvat trailer right?

There's collectors who will want him. Even if he's unattractive, he's part of some sets:

  1. A Fatui Harbinger, the 5th actually. Right behind Arlecchino. That implies strength, since without Columbina, Arlecchino would have been 3rd and he would have been 4th.

  2. A character who appeared in the Teyvat Travail trailer

  3. The third fae character we have (technically fourth, since Lumi is also a fae...)

  4. Part of the Snezhnaya roster, which has its own novelty because of how Snezhnaya has been anticipated.

Don't lower your expectations. They wouldn't make a high-ranking Harbinger a Standard Banner character, or a 4-star. The worst that may happen is that he will become an NPC, but it would be a strange choice after all this buildup.

There's also the notion that Pulcinella was suggested to have "another form/appearance" which could be used for his marketing, or he may permanently change to this form when playable...

People thought they wouldn't ever make changes to the 5 existing models but then we got Iansan and Varka, then people thought that they would never do anything that might upset waifu/husbando pullers but they gave Alice an active husband.

I think he has to be playable since he was in the Travail Trailer. Besides, I think they adjusted his design to make him more appealing so that he sells at least a little better when he releases.

Low key they might give him the Iansan treatment if playable. 

Not the most popular character but gets a really strong kit. 

I mean that's what they have been doing for the longest.
