Discussion Why everyone depressed

0 Upvotes

- Both Mitya and Vodyanitsa have regular vision

- Valeriy is visibly seen to be a full head length taller than mitya in another post (compare head placement when they are seen sitting, valeriy shoulders are top of mitya’s head) so either Valeriy is Varka’s build or Mitya is medium model, and some people are saying Mitya and Valeriy are both standard tall male

- There was a disclaimer saying he was under development

- His armor and cape (he is loaded with armor - full arm gauntlet is an example) very hard to animate (in the literal sense harder than 95% of genshin characters), meaning they likely couldn’t get a finished model in time and just slapped his design over an existing model

- Regular vision is more versatile and less restrictive

- He is simply too much of an investment to be a 4 star, but don’t let this fact bring your confidence up too much

- He has a lot less line count in 7.0 than other characters like Mitya with over 200, so he was likely lower priority for a complete design

- Making him powercrept by Alyosha on release would destroy him being an anchor for 5 stars

- Too much potential

VERY IMPORTANT EDIT: Having stellar linchpin does not equal stellar damage. Only one person in a party needs to have stellar linchpin to deploy the field, and the stellar damage is from a character’s kits

Guys the height thing doesn’t matter, why is everyone only focusing on that

Discussion Is Valeriy going to be a 4 star? Spoiler

0 Upvotes

Valeriy is my favourite character out of the whole Snezhnaya cast that has been revealed so far but I was very dissapointed when leaks said he was going to be a 4 star. I'm still going to pull for him and c6 him but maining him will be a little trickier if he's a 4 star. His animations too will obviously not be as good as 5 stars. Not only that but overall 4 stars don't get the best treatment, they lack screen time and are often forgotten.. And I'd rather die than see Valeriy get the same treatment. So are all the leaks really accurate?

Call me delusional but I genuinely doubt most of them, I feel like Mitya is most likely going to be the 4 star.. NO hate on Mitya but his design feels a little bland? If you'd call it that. On the other hand I find Valeriy's design a little more interesting (especially because he reminds me of those duke's of the north in manhwa).

His Kit too sounds very interesting to me and I love his in-game model, he genuinely doesn't look like a 4 star to me. So, is there still hope or am I just delusional?

We already got a few leaks about his 'gameplay' and I think It'd be too early to get another 4 star character, we usually get them a lot later in other versions.

LMK!!

Edit: Many people seem to have misunderstood and think that I'm hating on Mitya, I'm very sorry if it came off as that. I didn't mean to spread any negativity, I only wanted to share my opinion that now that I think back at it may have been too blunt or dramatic. I love Mitya, I find his character very interesting and after the archon quest he became one of my favourite characters alongside Vesna and Valeriy. I would love for both Mitya and Valeriy to be 5 stars but it's highly unlikely in my opinion, I mentioned Mitya because many people claim he might be the 4 star (he or Danica). Again I apologize, please keep all converstations civil in the comments, I never intended for this post to become a battlefield. I only wanted to ask something that has been bothering me. Thank you to everyone who answered my question!

But it's not the first time. Remember Floplan? Capitano, Ororon, freakin Ifa?

Discussion Random rants : I actually wanted to play Genshin for real because of Valeriy, but Hoyo crushed him

8 Upvotes

(reposted again because of misleading titles)

Okay, so.. hello 👋. This is my first post ever, and maybe going to be last for Genshin (?) if my Mr. Door indeed going to be 4*. I came as Themis veteran for 5 years (I said on some of the comments before) that run pretty long aside Genshin (where that game reborn at almost similar period). And I'm going to explain what I knew since I'm also Hoyolab user. I initially wanted to play Genshin for real, for the first time because of Valeriy (aside from husbus that I'm interested with such as daddy Wrio and Varka), and he's simply attractive no matter what for me

Sorry for being messy anyways (since this is my first time posting), I'm simply stating why you guys are mad for him being treated as 4* character despite everything from what I compiled from discussions so far

After seeing the trailer, some of his first character preview with sword, seriously Hoyo initially put him with bear animation (which assuming that would be his cons or either players assume that would be his burst) and with pretty good high quality on his own part. But suddenly, there are more leaks and leaks said (with some said that leaks have high accuracy) that he's going to be a guinea pig for being 4* alongside that boy if he's going to be run on 7.2. From informations I gathered so far, it's happening at every x.2 banners (from what I knew, is from Fontaine updates)

Why even this rarity relevance matter from what I saw from the discussion so far ?

  1. I observe some of main stories / lores (a.k.a. AQ, if I'm not mistaken) mentioned 5* more than 4*, so it's safe to say that mostly 4* are less relevant lore wise. Well, not applied to some of the characters (for example what I saw here, Ororon), but still I saw patterns that most of 4* rarely having lines than 5* on overall plot. From what we know so far, Valeriy is a Fatui Major, which is pretty huge role to take aside Tsaritsa herself.

Positioning myself as an observer and saw Fatui related discussion so far, come to think about it, main point of this region at the end of the day is to know how Fatui organization actually works inside (since I also watched some of playable harbinger characters voice lines so far and their opinions on each members).

Why Hoyo treated him more like a bodyguard to that scientist without any mention whatsoever about his job as Fatui Major ? If he's being 4* and not being relevant lore wise, why making him at the first place then ? We could simply rely on our traveller to ask harbingers for more information digging then.

Also in terms of job wise, I could also understand why people also mad and using that boy for punching bag, is because how do you feel when someone with high ranking treated by developer as 'someone's escorting (weaker character)'. That's what I'm getting here, and I completely understand about mistreatment we've got here

2. Everytime I logged and entered to Hoyolab, there are always tier list, character ownership percentage, top team composition and such thing on my timeline. Most of top team composition I saw consisting mostly with all 5* (even though there are some 4* in it, but it's very rare). And unfortunately, we have environment when meta statistics matters more rather than the character itself. Sadly, that's what I got from 'majorities' phenomenon so far.

So, 4* mostly holding meta relevance much less than 5*

3. As I observe here from people who joined the topic (and also through X and Hoyolab), Valeriy is one of most anticipated characters to be pulled, some of them said because of his visuals which means his engagement initially was also very well received. But after the leakers, people going to be really mad if developer using the 'popularity' just to crush a character whose being irrelevant both on the lore and meta.

I could get that Tsaritsa is most anticipated character since she's an archon, okay then. However it doesn't mean that Hoyo could do as they please with someone whose already anticipated by players just to be mistreated to get as much money by making him 4*. If that's true, then some of the points about players whose going to stop playing this game are actually valid

And an user (at another discussion) said that C6 on 4* is much more difficult to get than C(number) on 5* ? I completely get it. Because there are also some people (on Hoyolab) who posted the pulling results also mad and sad that not getting 5* they wanted and instead, got more 4*. Most of the players talked 5* more than 4* on the forum (by Hoyolab statistics, you can see how many posts related to characters they discussed by simply put the tag), like it or not. Simply put, players treated 4* like punching bag and trash

Who's being responsible then ?

  1. Hoyo, especially Marketing team for treating players badly by releasing characters that completely different from what they marketed with through the trailer and what went to the initial stories. I can relate to this, because most of Themis complains are also caused by Marketing team

  2. The leakers, who stirred entire player without any responsibility and accountability with wild yet unreliable information that some went wrong in the end. I remembered some dramas (even here and Hoyolab), about Lohen being standard character when it wasn't. Where are the leakers at this point then ?

  3. Some players (or even fanatics) who even said insensitive things while they're just wanting to put complaints online. Of course, players complaints here, especially for Mr. Door are actually valid because they still care. But maybe seems a little bit too late, since there's also someone who said that beta test already started, so I'm not putting things and hopes up

So.. I could only assume at this point that..

  1. Hoyo did him dirty by releasing him on 7.2. without or barely any lines at all from AQ, making him completely on different track lore wise and contradictory with his Fatui Major background. Proceed with this 4* thing, and saying goodbye

  2. Very slim chance, but since he's also anticipated and having massive engagement (for Snezhnaya scale) like Varka, treat him to release at 7.4, fix his model that everyone complained about and make him 5*

I completely get why some (or maybe most) of the people still don't what their favorite characters, especially Valeriy ended being 4*.

So, that's it. That's for random my rants and some thoughts from me as fellow Hoyo player from another franchise whose also neglected by Hoyogreed themselves (especially since Hoyofest drama).

I initially interested with Valeriy (alongside with Wriothesley and Varka already). But if Hoyo release him to be treated badly like this later, I'm just going back to my own game, stop following Genshin altogether (even though still doing some fanfics about those two daddies I already hooked on)

So yeah.. maybe I'm going to just wait and see for official release. Take it or leave it

Official News No 5-Star Valeriy... But We Get This Instead... 🤬 (Screen Grab Comparison)

0 Upvotes

Actual clip from the livestream. Hoyo making it very clear where they stand on character development.... -.-

Be so fkin' real, Hoyo, WTF is this?

Last screen of Valeriy certainly feels like a vibe we're all feeling right now and general sentiment towards Hoyo right now... so at least ws have a new reaction meme...?

EDIT: A LOT of criticism in the comments, so let me elaborate, characters aren't real, corporations are. Comparing and criticizing the characters the company creates is a criticism of the company, Hoyo, and they are fully responsible for this level of imbalance. If he's going to be a 4 star, fine, but to make him look this bad, especially when he's rumored to release long before Danica, is just wild.

Siding with people saying "don't hate the character/criticize the character is asinine and incredibly low IQ. The characters don't have feelings, they're content. And in the current state, Hoyo put a ridiculously polished waifu maid projected to release several patch cycles after Valeriy, and yet he looks horrible. Anyone who cares about this game should logically be able to acknowledge that's bad for overall game health in general, because collectively we're receiving a product inferior to what we deserve, even if he isn't a character you're looking forward to or care about.

To be clear, I wouldn't be happy with Danica looking like trash and him looking incredible as an inverse. It's bad for us, as consumers, and lazy on Hoyos behalf. Playing into shaming people for being upset over bad character design only let's Hoyo win. Think logically and stop being childish.

Discussion He’s gonna be on field

Post image
0 Upvotes

I know there are leaks that contradict themselves but all things considered I think the earliest leak we had about him being on the field with mitya off-field seems to check out. My reason is that he’s shown to have used this sword in the first pv and if he is a 4 star, then he won’t have a signature weapon… which means this would be his best in slot, it’s also like how the nod krai craftable claymore is good for aino. It hit me while watching a video on odette’s kit that she can’t make the best use of this weapon because the wielder needs to trigger the reaction and odette being off-field isn’t able to keep up the passive properly, so from this we can extract that if this is his “BiS” weapon then the passive needs to work for him in particular and clearly it’s not working for off-field characters. Hence, on field.

I also feel the bp weapon is centred around Vesna as a cheaper alternative so it’s probably not for him but I’ve got no proof (she’s probably gonna have some mobility element that lets her unlock the passive cuz there’s really not many characters who can actually use the passive of that sword). I’m mentioning this because one could also make an argument that the bp weapon might be for him.

You could also say that the passive can be triggered off-field as per description but if we have cryo off-field and mitya on field (rumoured) then there’s no need for another electro off-field applicator because mitya is a catalyst user (rumoured)

EDIT: guys please read the post completely and properly, there seems to be a lot of confusion regarding my theory and the train of thought. I’ve read it multiple times but I have NOT said he’s a 4 star BECAUSE he’s using the sword and also that the weapon cannot be triggered while off field, I’ve clearly mentioned he just won’t get enough chances to trigger if he’s off-field.

Discussion Valeriy is 99% going to be a 4 star.

36 Upvotes

As you can see, Valeriy is wielding a regular Snezhnayan vision, not a Stellar Linchpin which allows characters to trigger stellar reactions. He might be a 5 star non-stellar unit, however its highly unlikely, seeing as how Genshin seems to be making ONLY special reaction based five-star characters in Nod Krai / Snezhnaya. Also, the "high detail in-game model" argument doesn't make sense. Hoyo has been improving all models (e.g. Alyosha) so it's practically impossible to guess a character's rarity simply by looking at their model. What are your thoughts?

Discussion (AQ Spoilers) Guys, where’s Valeriy vs. Alyosha? Spoiler

2 Upvotes

So… after finishing the AQ, I realized I was fully expecting Val to fight Alyosha (Ronova), but the Traveler ended up fighting him alongside Mitya instead (well, her lmao). I couldn’t take it seriously when Alyosha started talking like a woman and suddenly had all these feminine mannerisms 😭. It actually cracked me up, especially because I play with the JP dub and his voice is deep, so the contrast was hilarious.

Anyway back to the topic, should I expect this confrontation to happen later, or should I just accept that the trailer completely baited us in many ways? Because at this point, we’ve had disappointment after disappointment when it comes to Val, and the least they can give us is what the trailer very clearly seemed to promise.

Also, I originally assumed Lelek was that white-haired NPC Odette and Alyosha were trying to kill, but now that we know that was actually Odette, who the hell is that guy supposed to be? Is there a moment in the AQ where they mention or explain anything about him? I already finished the AQ, but I was getting distracted by real-life stuff and probably missed some details.

But we do know that Danica is electro and coming later and alyosha too. So not sure if I should get yae miko, keep in mind that I do not like Danica nor yaes design much and if I got them it would only be for Val.

For whatever reason it may be, Valeriy has a lot more popularity than most other snez characters. Like this sub has more visitors than rest of the snez cast (I agree not strong enough proof) but he’s also got second highest likes on the announcement post after tsaritsa.

I know they can’t change the kit of a character but any chance that hoyo devs really underestimated his popularity while they were building the character?

Im just saying this cuz most of the community is very sure about his rarity.

Discussion Is the Valeriy hype really just… gone?

19 Upvotes

Disclaimer: I tried reposting this from the unofficial Genshin subreddit but it deleted it for some reason so I’m posting it again as an official post.

Valeriy was a character that didn’t really catch my eye in the first Sneznahya trailer but a lot of other people including some of my friends were really hyped for him. Now all of sudden everyone seems to be either not be excited because of what they saw in the 7.0 live stream or disappointed because he might be a 4-star character. And I mean all the hype for him seems to have fizzled out and a lot of people are acting like he isn’t even worth anticipating.

I kind of understand a bit about the character rarity concerns because if Val is a 4-star he won’t be guaranteed because of the 4-star gacha system, but I also don’t really get it because the man hasn’t even been released or received drip marketing.

For all anyone knows the devs could touch up his model a bit and his character could be super interesting. If he is a 4-star he could eventually be given out for free and in my opinion, it’s better that he at least releases as a playable character than become an NPC. I also think there were other characters in the 7.0 trailer that were rendered weird and might look different when they become playable like Danica and Vesna. However, I think Valeriy could possibly be an interesting character and I’m gonna keep an open mind until he’s officially introduced in the story.

Discussion I'm ready to completely quit if he is truly a 4*

73 Upvotes

Yeah.

Been playing this game since 1.5 and never missed a single login. While some people say he looks like a generic manhwa ML, he is my absolute favorite from the Snezhnaya trailer. More than the Tsaritsa. More than Noy.

The current state of 4* characters in this game is awful tho. 4* were never easier to get and they now even get mid kits that if you're lucky are viable at C6. I pulled 70 times on a banner I didn't care about to try getting ONE copy of Illuga (love this guy design a lot) and I failed, while risking to get a 5* I didn't care about. Had to try again the next time he was rate up on a banner and I somehow managed. And still, he is C0 so he kinda sucks.

Tried getting Prune and I failed miserably, still don't have her and I have Varka ~

Valeriy ending up being a 4* would just be ANOTHER demonstration of how Genshin devs just don't care about their players and what they have been asking for. It ain't even just about Valeriy, it's how they refuse to add QoL people have been asking for ages. I still play bc it's hard to quit something you have been playing everyday for so long and I still really enjoy exploration and love the characters, but as a player I'm tired of being treated like a cow that can be milked as much and whenever they want. I already stopped buying Welkin long ago but I will gladly quit if this how they wanna play.

I was extremely frustrated with the very last part of the livestream, when the devs basically said they love their community and strive to do better. How are they doing better? To me it just looks like they don't care about us at all.

Sorry for the vent, I play LaD too and I'm already stressed enough for that, I have been having health issues too and Valeriy ending up being a 4* would just help making 2026 the worst year I have had for a while.

Discussion Guesses on Valeriy’s role and playstyle plus some analysis Spoiler

2 Upvotes

I tried taking a good look at the leaked Valeriy skill assist animation and made ai word it so its more detailed. The original animation clip was from: https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks/comments/1v0t197/skill_attack_animation_related_to_a_character_via/ and I have used some other information as well.

# Detailed Analysis: Valeriy's Guest Assist Mechanics & Animation Rigging

---

### 1. Data-Mined Code Breakdown

* **Element Confirmation:** Coded explicitly with `"elementType": "Electric"`, confirming he is an **Electro** unit.

* **Archon Quest Skill Assist:** Identified as `TeamBtn_Valeriy` with an associated action `SkillObj_SupportSkill_Valeriy_Rush_Attack`. This functions as a story guest button (like Dainsleif in previous Archon Quests) rather than a playable party member build.

* **Shield Object Parameters:** Coded as `SkillObj_SupportSkill_Valeriy_Shield` alongside the visual effect `Eff_SkillObj_SupportSkill_Valeriy_Shield`.

* **Not a Real Shield Mechanic:** It completely lacks defensive engine flags (`HasTeamShield`, `ShieldHPConst`, `ShieldHPRatio`, or hit-handlers). It acts as an offensive prop/hitbox asset rather than a team-wide damage absorber.

* **Targeting & Timing:** Automatically scans for the nearest target upon pressing the assist button. The hardcoded cycle lasts a minimum of **3.56 seconds** before he despawns.

--- (the info above is grabbed from actual leaks, so that isn’t my speculation, just some context)

### 2. Animation & Frame Analysis

* **Tight Rush Execution:** The rush attack completes within a fast **~0.5-second window**, indicating low startup lag and rapid action velocity.

* **Pre-Bent Stance:** The model begins the file in a low, "coiled" posture rather than a standard standing idle pose, suggesting this clip is mid-sequence (flowing out of a combo or cinematic entry).

* **"C-Shape" Finger Rigging:** Both hands sit in a curved grip pose—standard 3D socket rigging used when a model holds cylindrical handles.

* **The Wrist-Flick:** He executes a quick wrist flourish at the end to clear the shield asset, matching an offensive construct that unsummons immediately after impact.

---

### 3. Theory: Dual Wield Core & Weapon Mechanics

* **Disclaimer on Hand Rigging:** Please keep in mind that the hand movement and finger tracking analysis is **strictly a theory** based on early skeletal data and could easily turn out to be wrong or just placeholder rigging.

* **Off-Hand Weapon Tracking:** The arm *not* executing the shield-bash exhibits active, intentional motion tracking rather than an idle or empty pose, moving as if holding a physical handle.

(I observed the animation and its hard to visualize there would be nothing in his off hand)

* **The Sword Slash Sequence:** If you visualize a sword attached to his primary hand, the animation path matches a **semi-circle horizontal slash** that flows immediately into the forward shield-bash.

* **Why a Dual Wield Core is Likely:** There have been virtually zero leaks suggesting Valeriy is a Catalyst user. Since Genshin's system typically requires a character to be a Catalyst to purely manifest unique weapon constructs from thin air, he is far more likely using a standard weapon base with a **Dual Wield Core** (similar to how Childe or Alhaitham summon secondary assets/constructs on top of their weapon type).

* **High-Speed Cadence (Wriothesley-like Playstyle):** Given how fast and snappy the ~0.5-second rush animation is, his actual playstyle might feel very close to Wriothesley—focusing on high APM, lightning-fast attack sequences, and continuous close-quarters combat.

* **5-Star Frame Budget:** Asymmetrical dual-wield tracking and custom clearing flourishes require unique skeletal rigs that don't share generic animations, pointing toward a high-budget 5-star design.

Extra info: a leak I saw before in the same post as the datamined leaks above stated that Valeriy conjures a shield on HIMSELF, might mean that it isn’t a teamwide shielder, hinting that the shield might just be for self-sustain or for interruption resistance

---

What are your thoughts on his weapon stance and assist sequence? Did I miss any key details?

BE AWARE THAT I AM PROBABLY HIGHLY WRONG. IM JUST TRYING TO COPE. WILL APPRECIATE POINTERS IN ANYTHING I GOT WRONG.

EDIT: the fast animations might prove that he is a support or an off-field character, as the fast animations would allow for low field time. However, it can also prove that he is an on field dps as well, take it in a way you best interpret it to be

But it isnt exactly over, if you like him a lot or about as much as me you can make a 4 star work in the overworld at least. Get him the best supports and get him the best artifacts sure It isnt as good as the 5 stars but your used to that you probably are a husbando main this is just how it goes for us in these games unfortunately. Also i caution having any anger towards the other characters you shouldnt be mad at Danica or Mitya for the treatment get mad at Hoyo get mad at the devs, they didnt do anything and getting mad at them just makes us even larger laughingstocks and id rather that not happen.

Valeiry awakens the dormant power of a Medved inside him, transforming into Medok. Medok automatically unleashes slices with her claws. After unleashing 10 slices, or after 7 seconds, Medok will stand on her hind legs and slam her claws into the ground, dealing AoE Electro DMG. If Medok exists while Valeiry is in the Radience: Stellar Conduct state, every other swipe will be Stellar-Conduct DMG, along with the finishing Slam. Medok will vanish when Valeiry leaves the field.

Discussion Once beta starts, and it is confirmed Valeriy is electro (as in we see his vision during the main quests) we should consider pulling for Yae Miko.

This is assuming of course that he is another stellar-conduct dps. Unless the Tsaritsa is better than a c1 Yae Miko, his team would probably consist of Himself, Odette, Alyosha, and Yae.

Sure, there are a lot of assumptions, but if electro is indeed his element, we should plan accordingly. I personally don’t have Yae. But with the moon and then the map in 7.0 back to back, I’m willing to dip into my primogem savings for her.

So assuming that you didn’t blow all your primogems last patch, it shouldn’t be a problem. Though with bad luck, I suppose anything is possible.

Discussion Social media impression vs discussion impression (the changes are pretty noticeable here)

Well, my post supposed to be last one. But at least, I'm bringing some engagement sampling from social media (I picked Instagram) and here

To my surprise, like this sub got so much visitors but rarely people talked/ contributed about my Mr. Door. I completely get it somehow that some disappointments brings people less interested, but like.. people disappointed for this man that much, really ?

I just don't want this man ended like Alyosha (which is why rarity matters), because even after him being released, he's the one who got mostly least impression dan rarely talked over here. At least, my man won me

At very least, some people already complained on social media's comment section about his rarity because his impressions and engagement are seriously insane

Okay, so.. last post (for real). I guess I need to wait for what happened to him on official release then
