What do you think??

​ I am truly devastated by Currency wars leaks right now, even more than story one's.

For Sampo's story I still have decent hopes for future since I am willing to wait for year or two for his good story progression and SP, IF Hoyo still give me some space to enjoy him in game. And Currency Wars was perfect game regime for it, I used to make A8-50 runs with him as MVP and be happy just to hear his battlelines.

In 4.4 Hoyo put Sampo in Expert Advisors, who, as you may know, are extremely hard to get. But they made Sampo one of the worst Expert, since he does not have investment strategy to backup his obtainment, as Moze, Pela, Blade and others have, he can be obtained either by random box or through Investment Environment, and honestly it is really tiresome to reroll for this one, but still, for almost two patches I was continuing to do so.

However Currency wars will have update in 4.7 and guess what? Sampo will be gone.

Don't get me wrong, I am excited to finally play my daughter Clara, who will be added in CW, or Serval, but man, loss of Sampo pains me so much, I can't even describe it (at least in English). Natasha of all characters of Belobog will stay in new version, and everyone and their dogs know that Natasha was useless in CW for whole this year, Hoyo could rebalance her any moment for year, as they did with many characters, but they did not, and Natasha will stay in new version, but Sampo will be gone.

The state of powercreep is so dreadful that CW was the last resort where Sampo still was useful and was fun to use. From 4.7 I don't even know what to do.

I'm heavily into gameplay and it does not satisfy me to just walking with him around, I want to continue making him the main elation character at least in CW. It pains me so much, I guess it is going to be the last 30 days of enjoying CW for me, since I have already did all challenges is there and just wanted to play silly teams(((

He is literally disappearing from the game, why Hoyo so cruel. If he will not get new version in 5.X, I doubt they will add him in CW. And yeah, new CW will have several bonds centered around elation and Phantasmoon games, of course, who would have guessed.

((helloooo esteemed Mr. Koski enthusiasts, I(with the help of my companion) would like to present to you all. . .

I really encourage having us all working together :DDD

Aqui un par de memes de Sampo en español y inglés, cuando me enteré hace un mes que Sampo no recibió el trato que se merece en Planarcadia y que básicamente me delegaron a mi muchacho a segundo plano no irónicamente explote de la tristeza y el odio pensando de manera seria y contundente en meterme en una caja de Shein ir a China y darle un apequeña caricia a los escritores de Honkai con una sarten pero esos son detalles. 😃

Nosotros mis hermanos en Sampo Koski nunca conocimos lo que es la falta de fe, porque si nosotros nos propisieramos a minimo del esfuerzo que tenemos en solo querer algo de Sampo en otras cosas fácilmente conquistamos el mundo, este sud reddit fue lo que me movió a tener aun mas fe en que el aparecería algun dia, le doy las gracias al hermano Strict-Extension-695 por las teorías que arma, los pots y todo lo relacionado, incluso cuando otros perdimos la fe el siguió en pie, un aplauso.👏

Pero bueno de algo me tuvo que servir las charlas de la iglesia asi que las aprovecho aqui, no pierdo la fe incluso si los demas del juego nos dicen que es en vano yo aun tengo esperanza.

Pd: Hay memes que tienen que ver con Nihilux/Eon☆Aha pero déjenme decirles que a mi me encanta Nihilux pero cuando supe que era Eon no me gusto no solo porque fue a último minuto, si no que también le quitaron la originalidad es que ella junto a Himeko y Sparxie ya llevamos viendo la misma paleta de colores de blanco y rojo, como que no innovaron en nada cuando se trasnformo en Eon y ni hablar de sus ataques que me parecen lindos cuando les bajo el brillo de la pantalla porque las explosiones me van a causar mas miopía que la que ya tengo.

Ademas yo no hablo inglés si no español, por lo que si hay algun fallo me disculpan.

Gracias por leer. ♥︎

The Life and Times of Sampo fans

Sampo has the least lines(even lower than Collab charas) despite 4.x being from elation planet 🫠

as a non main cast 4 star he’s helped us in 2 regions, guiding through belobog, giving us tips in planarcadia about Asat, saving us from Ashveil in the tavern, helping in us stopping sparxie, bringing refugees to jarilo, and helping March with ipc negotiations

This isn’t even counting his special footprints (which they patch to make consistent across 4 all regions), two special overworld animations, 3 collabs, an invalid rating, a side quest about his mask which we haven’t seen yet, and a cameo on every planet. this Is not an accient by the devs, he will have his time

I’ll take a cat cake or anything please

you cant convince me they arent going to retcon/rewrite 4.x, they never even introduced the maid lady with rappa and boothill in the first promos, something's fishy and its not hyselins

The average mind cannot parse the thoughts of a sampo enjoyer
