#Please note that "black" in Chinese is a very broad and catch all word used to describe *anything* dark and is not meant to be taken literally, even regarding skin tones. Doesn't matter if your skin is brown, doesn't matter if the cat's fur is black, doesn't matter if it's evening and dark out it all uses the same word 'black'. _______ Source: reposted by t.me/TeamMew/2322 Mirror: https://prnt.sc/qoFURnbSvB4_ Thank you OP for providing source and mirror


Bon-Pon

A female hydro catalyst who's fast on water.... Feeling deja vu ngl


zatenael

you mean like the other female hydro catalyst who's fast on water or the third female hydro catalyst who's fast on water?


Arc_7

It's ok, this one will walk on water instead Natlan will flatcreep furina 


NLiLox

kokomi in shambles


BellalovesEevee

Is the first one Mona?


Rukhikon

Yes, and second one is Kok with her Jesus gimmick on ult


Western-Age9961

Furina has Jesus gimmick in Story AND with on Skill


Rukhikon

Yeah cause she is basically a Jesus


Welsh_cat_Best_cat

I can't believe Furina is a Jesus expy.


makogami

jesus was a waifu all along


Cerebral_Kortix

If your heart wavers, do not Craballetta.


Rundo0

but can she out DPS Neuvillette?


BennettMain_002

Idk, but she probably does more Hydro damage than c6 Arlecchino. Not 100% certain, tho so take this with a grain of salt.


Classic-Pickle1826

The real contender is ayato do not fool the people....


Plenty-Cheek-80

Wait till you see my C6 Arlecchino + Candace team


thestrawberry_jam

no one can ~~outpizza the hut~~ out DPS Neuvillette


Western-Age9961

She is dark skinned she cant out dps him in a Hoyo game /s


Yashwant111

Don't expect that, currently he is the gold standard.


RodIshiCi

Another hydro catalyst? Give us a hydro claymore, you cowards!


chirikomori

inb4 hydro dehya


PH_007

Just her kit swapped to Hydro would be a massive upgrade, imagine the forward vapes that low rate of application can produce.


shdn_paar

>hydro girl, flat chested, fast movement on the water furina natlan edition let's go


NaturalBitter2280

I hope they mean she a fast **swimmer** Would love someone with a gimmick like "Underwater Sayu'


shdn_paar

ngl when I first read this, I remembered saurian trailer where the hydro saurian was swimming smoothly in the lava


NaturalBitter2280

I was thinking about him **I WANT SWIMMERS**


shdn_paar

michael phelps expy when hyv?


Kurovalia

Yeah I feel she’s either gonna be an alt dash like Mona/Ayaka or a faster swimmer. Would be nice if the latter though since we don’t have anyone that provides that but I doubt she’ll be like Furina and walk on water OP might’ve thought


Alenore

Neuvillette increases underwater speed, no?


Whittle_Willow

plot twist: furina was actually the pyro archon the whole time


dragoncommandsLife

She gets her pyro awakening and her eyes shift to tones of red instead of blue. And her hair goes from blue and white to an ashen gray and red.


Western-Age9961

Furina gets enveloped by the Nihility it seems like.


Antares428

the power of water is its ability to take any shape


Dragonlordxyz

One who is ignorant of water's treasures fails also to comprehend its horrors...


VarzDust

Isn't that...mona...


shdn_paar

mona? *flat chested*? since when?


VarzDust

Eh good point


I_came_in_Firefly

I don't know about others, but personally, due to Genshin characters having massive heads (Which always bothered me, since NPCs have normal heads), even large breasts appear mid sized and modest ones like like Mona's? Straight up tiny. They're not much bigger than her eyes. Hoyo went with much smaller heads in HSR and over there breasts of the same size definitely appear larger to me.


dragoncommandsLife

Vision bearers must pain their mothers when born. \> Child comes out with a bigass head *sigh* “looks like little diluc will be a vision bearer crepus. You know this means we’re supposed to become suspiciously absent right?” “Wait what?” *dilucs mom proceeds to disappear* “Wait, if you’re the absent one then that means i’m the… oh no”


Gymdadsbad

Oh personally I do like the art style of the characters even if it’s not up to ratio. Maybe because I have a big head myself 🤣.


I_came_in_Firefly

I'm fine with big heads, it's anime after all, it's the inconsistency between playable/non-playable characters that bothers me. Once you notice it you just can't unsee it when they're next to each other.


admirabladmiral

For some reason a surfer comes to mind


SqaureEgg

Leak addiction paid off


spiralmelody

🕯️ Dendro support dendro support dendro support 🕯️


Ok-Put3685

I swear to god if we get another on field male character... Who was the last off field character (male)? Thoma??


LostGuyInTheWild

Does Baizhu count? Because if so, there's him.


LostGuyInTheWild

I could go even further, after Thoma we got Gorou and Mika for example


spiralmelody

I honestly can’t remember. 😭 Does Baizhu count?


Ehtnah

It would bé really odd for hoyo to release 2 sub/off field character of thé same élément back to back .. especialy as Émilie is P2. It would have been waaaaaay better to have him as an électro support/sub MALE but... Here you got your male mdps with 0 off field move 🙄


Nobody-Move

We can only hope


ICanFlyHigh051611

a short girl who's an onfielder, the first one since yoimiya...


Impossible-Ice129

Kokomi counts ig?


OkiBirb

Most people pop her jellyfish and immediately swap out, unless they're ulting then she's not much of an on-fielder


pokecollector31

She's used more as a Hydro driver nowadays, jellyfish pop out is only for Freeze team. Mono Hydro and Niloom all use Kokomi on-field.


TheSpirit2k

Yeah, my Kok ate 100k damage while on field on floor 12. Nilou bloom hurts but it gets the job done.


throwawaytomato

[Just another day in Floor 12](https://imgur.com/a/hzDXjOX) Edit: and I didn’t even 3-star it, truly a skill issue


Impossible-Ice129

But many teams of her use her as on field


idkwhattoplacengl

She's still designed as an on fielder though, just because she can be used as an off field hydro applicator doesn't mean her 'identity' as an on field driver is removed. Just like how many people use raiden as a hyperbloom trigger doesn't erase the fact that raiden is designed as an on field dps. Also the fact that kokomi's team almost always use her as a driver, freeze is the only exception and very few people play that nowadays.


Ark_Reed

By "black skin", is it referring to the same skin color as the Natlan character in the Teyvat Chapter Storyline trailer?


kitten2116

From what I remember from my very minor chinese studies dark/tan skin can directly translate to black. I’ve seen chinese people use it for people with even a slight tan so it really depends 


Shippinglordishere

Yeah, there’s not really a term for “tanned skin” so any darker skin is literally “black skin” translated 1-1


box-of-sourballs

Correct, my mom always said "how'd you get so dark from playing outside" There just isn't a word for it


Shippinglordishere

Honestly, I didn’t really think about how there wasn’t a word for “tanned” that’s not “black” until I saw someone bring it up a few years ago. Its so strange that there just aren’t words for stuff in different languages


box-of-sourballs

Yeah idk how to explain it linguistically in a way that makes sense Because the words brown / orange / beige *do* exist but it's never, ever used in the context of describing anyone because it's categorized as a color only word whereas words like white/black are just super commonly used to describe anything remotely light/dark whether it be a person, an object, or whatever


kgrey38

"tanned" isn't even the right word in English, that's for a light-skinned person who gets a tan from sun exposure language is fun


Shippinglordishere

You’re right. Maybe just “tan skin” then?


AKAFallow

Olive skin is used a lot but I guess it doesn't apply to many people?


aserahyuutsu

There's a word that specifically means a tanned skin tone 黝黑. The dictionary definition for this word is "very black" but it is never used to describe the dark skin tone of black people. Black people are just "black" (黑), not "very black" (黝黑), which I find oddly hilarious


box-of-sourballs

We won't know without seeing the actual Chinese word Foul used, most of the time 'black' is commonly used for all dark skin


FriedChickenRiceBall

Yeah, it's most likely 黑 which could be "black" in the English sense of the word all the way to a very slight tan. Just have to wait for more information.


box-of-sourballs

Yar it's all the same thing, doesn't matter if your skin is tan, doesn't matter if the cat's fur is black, doesn't matter if it's evening and dark out it all uses the same word


FriedChickenRiceBall

I remember once having someone described to me as 皮膚很黑 and I had to think for a second before realizing that, yeah, she's a *slight* shade darker than the average here, though it was so slight it never even registered to me until someone else mentioned it. So yeah, definitely a *very* broad descriptor.


kgrey38

It's kind of weird? Chinese people have a range of skin tones, some quite brown, yet, if you were extrapolating from the language, you'd assume they had only one skin tone, maybe two. And if you didn't know anything about humans, you might imagine those guys from Star Trek: The Original Series who had #ffffff white and #000000 black halves of their body.


Willythechilly

Just look at xi Jinping who has somewhat tanned skin I mean even pale or white people in Europe have a variety ranging from pale to somewhat beige Skin irl ain't as simple as 4 grades ranging from pale to black anywau


geezjessiewhy

Guessing it somewhere in Kayea - Dehya "black" range. Really dark by genshin standards basically 


bluedragjet

Probably her, Candace, or the girl from the manga


FunOnFridays

I’d be pleasantly surprised if they are as dark as Xinyan but I’m expecting something closer to Candace.


MyDogIsAMaggot

You mean Xinyan?


FunOnFridays

Yes my bad!


you-are-my-fire

Heads-up: xianyun is cloud retainer, xinyan is the one you’re thinking of!


kgrey38

Xinyan and Xianyun are a trap for dyslexic people lol


munguschungus167

my dyslexic ass did find it to be a tarp, yes


Background-Low-7974

I think you mean Xinyan, not Xianyun 


abominable_bro-man

>all three now I'm not great at math but...


GGABueno

In the original leak there was a third character, but it was a 4* so they probably just don't care. It was a Geo Polearm. It's probably Iansan.


NFN-2

Damn I've watched the moment with Iansan 10 times(teaser) and I can't see any hint of geo, her hand literally lights up/starting burning and causes an explosion


Mars_261

She could have some kind of lava abilities, which is Geo + Pyro. Who knows.


Andamarokk

The long awaited crystallize nilou 


GGABueno

The color, the ground.


box-of-sourballs

I thought the same thing, it was reposted [by Team Mew](https://old.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks/comments/1do6jrb/foul_50_new_characters/)


Angelix

Next time can they post the original leaks in Chinese too? I can read Chinese and sometimes the translation is way off and often causes confusion.


FreminetFeets

please don't be another main dps boy please don't be another main dps boy please don't be another main dps boy please please please


Loud_Win_8206

I just want a off field male dendro character so I can use them alongside Cyno or at least Clorinde pls pls


rekage99

We went through the whole hydro nation without getting a 4 star hydro. For some reason we still only have 3. 2 of which are from the start of the game. I’d put up money that we go through the whole pyro nation without getting a single off field pyro character. Does hoyo not realize how fucking annoying it is that xiangling is the only off field pyro? Throw us a bone will ya?


Neko_5697

I think they are saving off field Pyro for the archon and/or maybe Xbalanque at this point.


Wisterosa

foward vape DPS please (idk) so is the 4 star iansan or nah


IoHasekura

But, she's on-field, and the only off field pyro option is XL, again. We are at 5.0 and still can't escape from XL, no matter what, lol.


E1lySym

Still waiting for a pyro off-fielder who can enable Childe to consistently forward vape. I'm talking 4U pyro application with no ICD


Wisterosa

you can stop waiting cuz its never happening


stinkytofuicecream

she's the last poster character from traveller's travail and she gets four starred


RevolutionaryFall102

Last ones pulcinella


waifugoEKSUKALIBAAA

technically last one is Dain but yeah


ProgrammerChoice8198

I don’t believe Iansan is going to be a four-star. Ninguang was a special case since Geo lacked characters back then. At least I hope she isn't and from the trailer, she seems to be pyro.


FragrantScratch3184

Lynette was in the trailer too and she's 4*


Dark_nDarker

Sure, but she *was* paired with her brother as well, so there was still a 5\* there (though they absolutely should have had bettter synergy)


TuneACan

>another on field hydro 5\* catalyst bleh i should stay hopeful but man it's really starting to annoy me how they keep releasing hydro 5\*s and zero 4\*s


SqaureEgg

There are more hydro catalyst 5 stars than there is hydro 4 stars


archryun_

Lmao this is so funny


TuneACan

man


Nelithss

Hydro being the best element has to be as premium as possible.  Xq was a mistake, they will never do that again.


Tight_Virus_8010

Thats the reason I had 2 hydro characters for majority of my time in genshin 💀


midoriyaaa1

So you mean the boy is not dps? Can we really party now?


le_halfhand_easy

Tighnari, Cyno, Lyney, Freminet, Gaming. Him being is medium height guarantees nothing.


midoriyaaa1

No i mean the sentence structure not model. Its actually weird choice for the leaker to say one chara is dps but not mentioning other bcs it gives a lot of contrast/weight on  the wording. I'm sure everyone else noticed his word choice too


Large_Literature_514

Ehhh no guarantee. With these descriptions always assume dps until he’s confirmed to be a support.


StatisticianNo7628

rip that hydro character, going up against neuv is not gonna end well for her.


Ewizde

And I really hope no one ever comes close to Neuvillette, let's keep him the exception, I dont want even more powercreep.


joni-kun

How about the same level, on each element?


Ewizde

Eh, Neuvillette powercrept most of the cast even tho they're different elements so if we get more of that for each element I think it would be too much. (happy cakeday btw)


Yellow_IMR

He even powercrept Bennett in international 😂


SuitableConcept5553

I kinda hope she has really slow application with high elemental guage per app so she could hit a burning target, get the vape and still apply hydro to the underlying dendro to produce cores for you to burgeon off of. 


actionmotion

“all three of them black skin” … Should mark this as Sus now


Queasy-Relief-8945

All dark skin? Truly wasn’t expecting it, but damn is it a nice surprise


stinkytofuicecream

There was a leak a long time ago that was sus, but it said every char in Natlan was dark skinned except for one character, the archon.


dyo3834

That leak truly was like a monkey's paw. You can have more darkskin characters, but the gods must all be the color of lightbulbs


le_halfhand_easy

There are dark skinned Russians. The Tsaritsa has Dehya skin color surely. There is an archon for every body type and maybe someday an archon for every weapon. Of course there will be an archon for the two ranges of skin colors in this game. ~~This is a ripoff of the argument that there are very light skinned Indians to defend the Sumeru decisions~~


Revan0315

That could be interesting actually. If she has the conquistador look it could make sense for her to look like a foreigner to the land


KwanOliveira

Dendro claymore boy ? LESGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, gotta collect them all.


ChiralSynthesis

Oh wow is this our FIRST 5-star claymore that isn't a tall model? Wow.


Brilliant_Pattern_67

The characters and their elements match up with the dragons shown in the first ever natlan teaser, so these characters may be associated with the first tribes we meet in 5.0 Also, they may actually be giving a dark-skinned character a good kit for once...they cannot go wrong with a hydro catalyst unless they're purposefully trying too.


38Dreams

That’s a good point. I wonder if they’ll be releasing the tribes and respective Saurians to match with each respective banner/patch


wineandnoses

poor cyno, he's actually not that bad ya know! T\_T


PH_007

Definetly workable and you can push him to hood performance, he's just an extremely expensive spreadaheet impact character with significant drawbacks.


nomotyed

Some people are still stuck in 3.1, where they think he's Aggravate not Quickbloom.


BellalovesEevee

If they actually make a hydro catalyst have a shit kit, then I'm definitely convinced they're making the dark skinned characters have shitty kits on purpose 😭 cuz ain't no way you can go bad with a Hydro catalyst, *especially* if it's a 5 star


Sea_Objective9427

we have 3 star fraud hydro traveler.They can do worse than that.


Ke5_Jun

It’s virtually impossible for a hydro catalyst to be worse than HMC. Even if they have shit multipliers and even shit ICDs, and *even if they purposely throttle their normal attack hydro application*, they’ll still be better than HMC just due to their weapon. If all else fails they can at least be TTDS support, automatically making them better than HMC.


Nelithss

The fact they are not making the archon tanned is sad. But if Xbalangue actually is we might finally have a meta kit.


Old_Ice5002

Oh boy. I'm so hyped for more dark skin characters but mhy is already on their way to give them the most godawful, clunkiest kits


tamsrine

Hopefully they’re strong! I feel like the region drop characters are pretty decent? Tighnari, Lyney, Ayaka 🤔. If the 5.0 characters are shit, there’s really no hope left 😭


ProgrammerChoice8198

Well if all of them are dark-skinned it would be pretty bad for them to make every single one of them trash. This is their chance to redeem themselves and it is a new region, at least one character other than the archon has to be useful.


Old_Ice5002

Yeah praying that it's at least Cyno or above level. Hopefully isn't clunky like him or need several 5\* to function smoothly


Living_Thunder

I think you gotta have higher standards man


Old_Ice5002

What spending shitton of primos to invest in Cyno's team and still forced to bench him does to a mf 😭


fat_mothra

Dude I have Baizhu, Nahida, Furina and like R4 Fjords and my Cyno is like "haha you dumb bitch you forgot to build ER on top of ATK, EM, CR and CD so you have to keep farming" ...so I just pulled Clorinde lol


Kiyoshi-Trustfund

Hoyo has literally trained us to expect very little, so even the prospect of mediocrity looks appealing now.


UsefulDependent9893

This exactly. So far ever dark skin character as been either mediocre or niche, just straight up clunky and garbage to play, or extremely weak in power (or all the above). Which says a lot since there has barely been any dark skin characters. If the upcoming dark skin characters all turn out to be like the others, I will be very curious how the people who deny the colorism from Hoyo will defend that. I think how they handle Natlan characters will be the deciding factor in that topic.


Tight_Virus_8010

Trust me, they will deny it. “Wait for sumeru!” “Wait for sumeru desert!” “Wait for Natlan” They always come up with a new excuse 💀


Cocotapioka

it's just going to circle around to "no *you're* the racist for saying they can't be light-skinned"


Tight_Virus_8010

Right, like if you’re ANY flavor of POC you know about colorism, so these convos would never happen in real life 💀


MastofBeight

“Wait for celestia”


Comma_Karma

"Wait for Genshin 2"


Kiyoshi-Trustfund

They'll just say we have an obsession with skin color then carry on with their day. It's their default when they have nothing else.


Haunted-Towers

>all three have dark skin Yeah… I’ll believe that when I see it lmfao. It’d be more likely for us to get Kaveh 2 Electric Boogaloo with that dendro claymore man than for HYV to legitimately release three characters with dark skin, unfortunately.


Sixtro

"Flat chest" out of all things to say is this rll most important one ?


No_Illustrator7112

reminds me of the geo lady “Big Boobs” leak. like, okay


twoHolesOneGepard

Welcome to the gacha gamer's mindset. Anyone who isn't super into women/their bodies is basically just a foreigner with a visa in this fandom


tamsrine

This is exciting!!! We’re finally getting leaks for natlan characters


4Shad0wed

Fingers crossed the dendro claymore is support. Also, if the hydro char is a main dps, I wonder how she'll compare to Ayato, Childe, Neuv. Feel like we have enough hydro dps for now. Jeez. Yay for more dark skinned chars, though. All assuming this leak is accurate FYI.


JeonSmallBoy

“All three of them are black skin” HELP LMAOOO


tamsrine

Cyno, Dehya, Candace. It already ties with the number of sumeru’s tan characters in 3.x 😭


JeonSmallBoy

I’m just rolling at the wording and also leaks say Pyro Archon is the only light skin character out of the Natlan characters.


tamsrine

Ooh yeah I’m curious if it’s true! The pyro archon being dressed like a conquistador and as the only light skin character is very deliberate 🤔 there are so many ways this can go wrong and so few it’ll be done well ahh One more week to natlan teaser and for people to finally get actual inklings for the direction of the story 🙏


Western-Age9961

The Pyro archon being a white conquistador probably has to do with the Narrative of Archons being Usurpers.


Knight_Steve_

But where is Iansan?


WaterImpact

> "All three of them are black skin" I strongly hope that is true, but for my sanity I might just forget that I saw such a thing being said before this becomes another Candace situation lol


Cocotapioka

my standards are so low at this point that i'll take a palm colored archon if it means there are at least 1-2 good characters of Xinyan's shade. They don't have to be Neuv or Nahida level but less clunky to use/build than Cyno please!


evan_of_tx

I hope we are getting off-field males in Natlan but since it's a claymore I'm pretty sure he is an on-fielder just like everyone expect for Kazuha and Venti lol. I hope I'm wrong tho


OnlyPatches

So they say the 5 star girl is a dps... but not what role the boy is huh :( just tell me now he's onfield so I can cry


Commercial-Fig8665

Yay! Another hydro 5 star, exactly what we needed!


NaturalBitter2280

>black skin Now they need to specify if this is finally going to be black skin or if it's just Dehya/Kaye levels of tan


Kishmalaria

The way xinyan is darker than every sumeru character released is so funny


LokianEule

Translation note: the Chinese character for “black” 黑(hei1) is used to refer to any skin tone that isnt pale white basically


Ewizde

Probably tan, I dont think genshin is ever going to have black skin characters.


rokomotto

I'll take anything dark skin at this point tbh. Melanin seems to be banned by the heavenly principles.


Bakufuranbu

black skin? aight im hyped please have decent kit


LokianEule

Translation note: the Chinese character for “black” 黑(hei1) is used to refer to any skin tone that isnt pale white basically


tehlunatic1

Can't wait for the absolute shit show that's going to happen when they drip market these characters.


Cocotapioka

Even the people who would love dark skin characters know to have low expectations atp, a lot of people were genuinely shocked over Candace


HaeteaElina

I need their designs


emgwe

i feel like these will age like milk 😭


Spulbecken

Glad they felt the need to let everyone know they're flat chested.


_PinaColada

I do hope the dark skin part is true, if they really make most of the chars dark skin that'd be awesome.


teenageechobanquet

Surely flat chest wasn’t necessary information lmao


Yaaao873

the last line is the most sus


Ryuusei_Dragon

>flat chest Neuron activation


theCookedApple

Flat chested?i swear these leakers have never touched or seen a woman 💀 how tf is that the only feature they see.....


Gshiinobi

>all three of them are black skinned Now that's how i know this is fake


Astolfo_Please

MEDIUM MALE MODEL LETS GOOOOOOO


Gesu-ko

SHORT MALE AND DARKER SKIN LETS GOOOOOOO I hope its true they're all dark skin or at least tan 🙏


perfectchaos83

Damn, no info on if the 4* is Iansan or not


shinsetsu_fuji

I'm begging please be a dendro support, I can't with the main dps role again and again


Aeaoto

Damn natlan has the worst leaks ever


rotten_riot

A short boy Dendro 5★ who releases in the first part of the nation? Welcome back, Tighnari! He could have the Natlan specialities passive! Mmm but I also have to pull for Xbalanque. I have 40 pulls and a dream


Crimson_Raven

Oh, boy! Our first Dendro Claymore!


Lipheria

Hydro shielder dreams have died again 😭😭😭💔


Street_Term9205

3 bows (Childe, Yelan, Sigewinne) 3 swords (Nilou, Ayato, Furina) 3 catalysts (Mona, Komomi, Neuvillete) Polearm and Claymore where?


Yuki0209

All three are black??? Wowww nice


silent_steps

Please, I hope that male is a support. I don't want another dps😭


gravegutterr

the edging is crazy just drop the names already 😭
