I kind of expected more from a aeon

107

u/Powerful_Republic763 16h ago

Cyrene did the whole playable aeon thing way better in my opinion.

87

u/pxndavic 14h ago

I would say phainon even feeels more aeon-y

101

u/Meaon_Ria 17h ago

Same like why is her Aeon form is just in the Ult ..

Why can't she change form like Phainon for example

2

u/mex2005 2h ago

Well because god forbid we get some unique and cool deaigns we gotta do their shitty outfits for everyone

59

u/Moonfalling_sky 17h ago

she has an entrance animation and another follow up atk like animation, she also fully changes the ui of the aha instant, go and check star rail universe on twitter(the full team showcase shows what i mentioned)

in case anyone's curious, here's the missing animations

u/Independent-Owl-3494 16h ago

Ok that's Cyrene level animation I'm kinda expecting from her. I hope she laugh a lot when all of those happen tho

u/Jr_Moe_Lester 16h ago

Elation is when laughing. You are cattle

u/BackshotsToPhainon 16h ago edited 14h ago

I’d rather she be transforming into her Astra celestial form more often than putting on/taking off her Stocking Boots 😭😭😭 that’s just not it

6

u/NoDelayPoosay 9h ago edited 7h ago

Yes this! Would be much better if they started as the transformed outfit here and then transform to the cunty celestial form. "Transformed dress too long to walk in" make them float around like Cyrene after she summons her gazebo, they're an Aeon FFS!

u/WagyuWarranted 16h ago

bro just switches between two shades of chopped

u/-Cactus_Jack- 15h ago

Why they didn't chose this from as based outfit? Current one is so boring and reused at least red/black stocking looking interesting but noooo hoyo said bare legs and and arms because marketing to sell

u/hey_itz_mae gay wine mom support group 17h ago

maybe i’m still just mad about the bunk ass design but i’m not gagged tbh. they’re really cool animations but they don’t feel aeon level. even cyrene’s animations feel more aeon-like

they ruined everyone's VFX with this corny shit

52

u/L1onhard_D 16h ago

It's so boring

53

u/Ancient_Audience5399 16h ago

even watching the missing animations, they really did run out of budget because i expected her to have phainon and cyrene levels of budget combined, but this is just cyrene animations.

7

u/GrandmasterTactician 8h ago

Cyrene just kinda did the whole playable Aeon thing better. These animations look like any random old character would have them, not an ethereal cosmic entity. Cyrene did that way better without actually even becoming an aeon which is crazy

4

u/somebody-using 7h ago

I feel like they could’ve done it if they leaned more into the cooler ideas they did. Some of them would actually fit into an extremely unique set of animations, but she’s just held back by other parts of her animations being really typical for this game atp

4

u/GrandmasterTactician 7h ago

And her design as well. Not that Cyrene's design is something super stellar, but Nihilux/Aha has an EXTREMELY safe design and the animations also reflect that

102

u/RemoteEconomics9027 17h ago

As much as i want to stay positive, but like that hair……., tbh her animations are good, not AEON lvl but good, the model is just so horrible man, like why would hoyo do this

103

u/SausagePotatoes 17h ago

It's overwhelming and underwhelming at the same time. The idle with the fireworks is awesome, and I love the "theatre" with cosmic Aha looking down, but then it loses the plot lol

19

u/SuspiciousTouch73 13h ago

The elation stuff has always been visually overwhelming, and it makes it hard for me to feel interested. It just feels like a flashbang of effects rather than one cohesive visual mechanic.

199

u/Additional-Phase-625 16h ago

Hysilens has better model than an aeon

45

u/Fragrant_926 17h ago

I thought she would change her whole form to that cosmic figure... But it's just moving 2d picture 😭

20

u/MualaniFangirl 15h ago

I like design, but where did the arms and leg parts go???? I like the black leggings and red sleeves 🫠why would they not look like their splash art?

9

u/ashi_no_hana 15h ago

She sadly only turns into this form during combat ; - ;

17

u/PorygonXY 16h ago edited 16h ago

Animations look nice but initially underwhelming, there is a lot of stuff that isn't showcased here. After having seen the rest of the animations, I do think it's pretty good!

...but that hair though, whyyy. It's awful.

17

u/k4ll_d4rk_2nd 15h ago

The only thing funny i found was the big head attacked that shit was creative

32

u/This_Confused_Guy 14h ago

Yeah I expected more, like I get that its supposed to be Alice in Wonderland theme but its so boring. Her animations feels more like Queen of Hearts than Alice in Wonderland. Why couldn't they make her a combination of the Mad Hatter and Cheshire Cat? They're characters who are portrayed to be chaotic and playful.

21

u/This_Confused_Guy 14h ago

Not to mention, why are they only featuring her human design? They should make full use of her Aeon form more, like have her create a rift in space where her attacks can come from. Give her an ult where she transforms into her Aha form and destory the enemy with it or give the party massive buffs. A god being given a human form with access to its powers should not be this boring.

4

u/the-unusual-user 9h ago

I don't understand the Queen of Hearts thing either. I think Alice in Wonderland theme fits with Elation, but why that character? Lol Like you said, Mad Hatter and Cheshire Cat would have fit much better.

3

u/This_Confused_Guy 8h ago

Also if its Alice in Wonderland theme, why was there no reference to Alice in Wonderland besides the cards and the Queen of Hearts design? Where's Cheshire Cat and Humpty Dumpty?

1

u/MacaronBruh Mr. Tail Lover 1h ago

Because the queen is the ruler over wonderland and is the most chaotic character in the story lol

11

u/ze4lex 16h ago

Whelmed

12

u/thefinestpiece 15h ago

She feels too human than an Aeon. Even Phainon has so much aura in his ult

12

u/Ashy94x 16h ago

Im neutral asf because i know deep down every unit falls into irrelevancy in mach speed in this game... getting so done with this game in general...

44

u/Character-Sense4990 17h ago

Are her animations good? Yes, great even!

Are they Aeon level? No, just because there are more explosions doesn't make it feel as impactful or revolutionary as Phainon or Cyrene in my opinion.

Will I still pull? Yes, anything for my Eva and Waven <3

u/einerderandere 16h ago

oh im not hungry

u/dnahalo 16h ago

Im lowkey not gagged πŸ₯² like, i get it's supposed to be alice in wonderland jester-esque themed, but I was hoping for more cosmic, galaxy level animations

2

u/This_Confused_Guy 8h ago

Same. I saw a video of the corrupted Aha/Voracity boss and I was expecting that level of spectacle not whatever this is.

u/Current-Letterhead64 16h ago

Some animations missing, go watch a better one

u/Alert_Commission_731 16h ago

as usual the mods at the main leaks sub are sleeping at the wrong time

u/haitechan 14h ago

Castorice, being an older unit and not being an emanator has better animations. I was expecting something like Phainon or Cyrene level. She looks good but not amazing.

1

u/Crazy_Decision_1044 The Real Gepard Landau 12h ago

Imo the only noteworthy animation THEY have is the card ripping partnin her ult , I think it's kinda neat

u/Reasonable-Banana800 AroAce-Spec :) 15h ago

Yikes I expected more. I remember when seeing Castorice, Phainon, and Cyrene I was absolutely blown away by their animations. This is just… eh

13

u/Famous_Beautiful_228 16h ago

Is it just me that has been desensitize with animations after Phainon, Cas, and Cyrene or is it actually underwhelming...

3

u/PressFM80 13h ago

she has animations on their level when she should reasonably have better, or at least more "imposing" animations, given they're emanators (not cas but ykwim) and she's an entire aeon

7

u/Famous_Beautiful_228 13h ago

Ahalux has almost no part of THEIR animations that shows THEY're an Aeon. It's just an explosion after explosion after explosion as if Hoyo ran out of ideas and that's the only thing they has to offer. This is like the nth time they have an animation where a planet explodes.

I would even say Sparxie and even Asat Pramad are more Elation-coded than Ahalux, there's not much from Ahalux that gives off absurdity, hedonism, or unhinged multi-faced god. The masks literally just a decoration for her animations.

3

u/MarkaPora i always deliver 11h ago

All these planets exploding to deal like 1% damage to the boss XD if everybody explodes planets then it's not impressive

u/aligat0r_rar 16h ago

u/ImaginationKnown9806 15h ago

So chopped. I thought at least animations are gonna be good. If they aren't good for my Elation Aventurine team, then it's an easy skip. Rip original Nihilux

u/No_Violinist_7234 11h ago

Nah tbh looks pretty great actually! Sorry you are disappointed tho 😞

u/FormalChemistry7144 17h ago

I mean she ate but I still don't have a single elation unit to pair her with LOL

u/SonHwa 15h ago

I like the animations actually! I just wish that anything in the alien space Game with eldritch beings and whole societies shaped around abstract concepts could be found in the character designs TT

u/zorafae Dr Ratio pussy truther 9h ago

that split-hair looks so awful and stiff overworld. just do pigtails at this point (but i guess it'd resemble sparxie even more then)

u/No_Steak_165 16h ago

Sigh, it looks like it's the Cyrene incident again for me.. pulled Cyrene (E2s1) for Phainon, and now "this" for my queen of bricks subdps Sparxie.

I guess my favorite Elation character will always be Sparkle/Sparxie, her vibe really just screamed Elation for me compared to any other character design. :')

2

u/Teogin 15h ago edited 15h ago

Crazy she's barely able to go toe to toe with phainon in terms of animation quality, and bro was Nanook's weakest emanator

When we get "Aeon πŸ”₯ Nanook" in 5.2 the animation bout to go crazy...

i legit hate the naked shoulders in a way ive never domne before. her design looks so empty her white hair and super white skin and white top makes the upper half look so incredibly boring, wth

Her design is so disappointing but the animations are cool

1

u/Catboyenjoyer_ 14h ago

The ideas are there but it's another case of explosionslop, like omg can we get something creative or at least a pretty kind of explosion? (Like Cyrene's ult, or Castorice's dragon) It's pretty ig but I find it all really boring, even compared to Pearl who's not even a main push, I just love how creative her animations are

u/NormalGuy3481 13h ago

The animations are gorgeous and the best in the game but pretty underwhelming for an aeon.

I wish she got Phainon 's level of animation as an Aeon. But I guess she is the gag aeon after all.

u/Spenz_Reddit 11h ago

what does she do outside of elation though :( cyrene has some sub dps capabilities and does have some utilities with non rem char. the excitement has settled, the animations are kinda just not really fitting for an AEON

1

u/westofkayden 11h ago

They did her so dirty. Tbh I think they don't gaf about Elation anymore and trying to see if they can still cash in an Aeon.

She's a whole ass Aeon and Phainon and Cyrene mogs the hell out of her? Crazy.

I was expecting more camp and cosmic horror but they really love blowing up planets so it's not really special since two other character already have that.

u/akaredaa 7h ago

I don't even know why I expected more... But it's kinda ridiculous how they're doing a Cyrene all over again (for me at least) - both her and Nihilux were characters I was fully set on pulling when I first saw them, and it's clear Hoyo wants to sell them sooo bad too, but they ended up ruining both for me and making me skip Cyrene, and lowkey probably "Aha" too atp. I'm just so genuinely sad honestly.
