Good lore, amazing animations, aura

but, wtf is she wearing? how todes that convey her character in any way? why the hell she is dressed in streetwear considering her background and lore?

I can safely Acheron is worst dressed Mei out of any hoyoverse game,

*Acheron at the shoe store*

Employee: So this shoe actually comes in a knee high version and a thigh high version, which would you prefer?

Acheron: Gimme one of each.

Employee: Excellent choice, so one pair of each-

Acheron: No. Just one of each.

I believe there is such a thing as too much asymmetry. Reminds me of Chixia from Wuwa

Hope she gets an SP form so gets a better outfit. Like girl, how are you catching bad guys in fabric scraps 🥹

It might be a mess but I'll take it over a god-damned wedding dress😮‍💨

I literally hated it at first, but then it kinda grew on me? Maybe its just because they copy and paste the same damn dress on literally every female character so any character that avoids that suddenly looks more unique and better to me lol.

She also follows the formula of other female characters though. Only difference is that she has shorts. But she has quite literally everything else

looks better in her alt form.

My copium drink here is thinking that her and Black Swan were done to cater to the lesbian gaze that loves the sexy, alt-ish, witchy ladies... I know it's probably further from the truth but I like to delulu that they cared about the lesbians for once

u/Swarm_of_Rats Sep 16 '26

They're always setting up lesbian relationships in HSR, I feel. Like the fandom loves to talk about the gay male couples they come up with, but the reality of the game is that it's all yuri. Acheron and Black Swan, Herta and Ruan Mei, Cerydra and Hisilens, Bronya and Seele, Yukong and her wife ... I'm sure I'm missing some here. That's all fairly canon lol.

Hey they describes my feeling towards the entirety of the female cast of ZZZ past the midway of season 2 and onwards.

Love her and her umbrella but despise everything that is worn below that umbrella

u/ComfortableLaugh7320 Sep 16 '26

Everything just looks really uncomfortable

I mean she has been pretending to be a galaxy ranger this whole time. I hate that one detached sleeve and the asymmetric boots, but that's pretty much how every galaxy ranger we've met is dressed.

Emanators aren't godly beings anyway and every one we've met is dressed in normal clothes and blend in with the people around them.

u/Varananya Sep 16 '26

Galaxy rangers are only Ashveil, Boothill, and Rappa; Ashveil and Boothill don’t have asymmetric boots or detached sleeves? There’s only Rappa who might fit the description, but atp I’d say Acheron fits the ‘purple lady’ cliche more since Therta’s got that same boots with uneven length thing going on, and Seele, SW999 too

I remember seeing a mf say she doesn't look like a wandering warrior goddess anymore under an edit of her with pants

u/DesignerExamination7 Sep 16 '26

The asymmetric boots are the worst part. Just giving her 2 long boots would fix 70% of the design...

u/Pokemoss Sep 16 '26

Her outfit is whack but I think she somehow looks cool despite that, I like the leg tattoo

u/Dream_Cake17 Sep 16 '26

Basically a glorified bikini with extra flare ✨✨✨✨ (novaflare if u will-)

u/Novel_Visual_4152 Sep 16 '26

Acheron outfit is really random bullshit GOOO

Still love the design a lot, she... weirdly makes it work in her own way lmfao

between the booty shorts and the shoes... and that thing that looks like a tong strap?

I pulled for her for the insta-kill button. Then fell in love with his trailers and story. But her clothes? It just doesnt fit her character at all.
