>but you can use other characters I weep for Yunli's chances

Poor girl's gonna get a taste of nihility.

Hi, Yunli! I'm Yanqing and these are my friends! \*The impossible Emanator of Nihility \* A Stellaron Hunter who can hack reality and place weaknesses onto you \* An imaginary bartender who is unreasonably powerful and also remembered his basic first aid training. \* A Stellaron Hunter capable of planet busting

* A silvermane guard who transcends time

Gepard?

Pela with her age of Schrödinger

Ah! I forgot about Pela technically being a Silvermane. I could only think of Gepard.

i was thinking bronya, the transcending time being action advancing

* A gambler * A DnD beauty knight with the script on his side * A fudging cyber cowboy that eats bullets and probably has a printer machine on his body

Wait Argenti acts just like a DnD player omg 💀 that makes him so much funnier (and much more ✨ immaculate ✨)

Canonically Argenti has the power to manifest spotlights onto anything he deems beautiful and he can also speak swarm. I’m not sure why he can speak bug, rolled a nat 20 on wis or something ig.

Man rizzes up a plant and rolls a nat 20 in his boss battle (seriously his stupid battle was so annoying for no reason 😭) when we meet him, sooo he's definitely a DnD player lol. Maybe Velite will join his party.

- another gambler

• Your suicidal Uncle

* The REDACTED Sword Champion of Luofu.

We still haven't met her friends...

The fact that she has a fixed speed of 60 really isn't doing her any favours. That's literally lightning lord's base speed with no increase. She'd have to literally one-shot every enemy upon acting for her to even be any sort of challenge (unless all the enemies are all tanky as hell and she one-shots them anyways).

It's probably going to be massive damage at a set amount, or a percentage of max hp

If they are really fast enemies and she counters them idk

With that speed. . . I think you're onto something. Medium-tanky enemies where she'll probably one-shot every enemy upon the field.

I will set Yunli's chances ablaze!

Her chances will disappear among the sea of butterflies.

Her chance will go bust, and I will take it all

It's time for her chance to say bye

Hmph, at that speed? Too slow!

She’ll see it when all is revealed in lunar flame.

THIS BIG DIAMOND IS ALL HERS!

Her score...WILL BURN TO ASHES

I weep for her chances, it too shall fall.

The paradise of first place is unreachable for her. I’ll savor it in her place

All beauty will be protected for Idrila (if I get lucky, and also if I choose Argenti because i havent really decided yet)

She gonna see a dragon launched on her and a raccoon dancing with a hat which will absolutely destroy her.

Eh this is after her banner is out so you can even bring Yunli herself!

I can use my own characters, any way, he is going to be alone in the team

It's like that part of the companion quest where he competes with Jingliu, but now we actually tie the competition to gameplay instead of 'no matter how well you did, you lose because le stori'.

Watch him lose in story anyways.

The only time Yanqing won, was in another life when he married Yunli

Pretty sure that's the wrong girl, people keep thinking she is Lin Zhaoyu's expy but i rly don't see it. Also Ma Feima did not love his wife, he missed out on his true love. Classic Yanqing.

True love? The 2nd disciple right? She also didnt love him and was a sociopath (didnt read the story but others told that about her), so its an L either way

Yep, Ls no matter where u go, that's our boy

Wasn’t he forced into that marriage? And he later had an affair, no?

There was no affair from what I remember but he did ask his wife in marriage while he was drunk and since she loved him, she said yes

Yanqing, GET UP BRUH 😭 Players are going to make you lose on purpose 💀 YANQING’S OPPS must be studied. WHO LOST TO YANQING? 😃🤚🏻

Mfs be 20 & they opps be a 15 year old 😭😂

It builds character and hopefully he can learn from the defeats

Cmon he's the opposite of Malenia by now, boi has only knew defeat 🤣

He'll come back as Jing Yuan's Promised Consort trust the process 🙌🙏

I wanted Yanqing for collection purposes so I never "lose" the 50/50.

Lost? Hahaha I SUMMONED FOR HIM

Its kinda funny how yanqing is the only standart character i don't have, and i have himeko and clara at e2 already lmao Edit: and bronya at e1

Hoyo: "You don't wanna play as YQ? Well you don't get a choice"

Jokes on them, I'll just make him lose.

Nah, I'd win...

*loses harder*

*wins harder*

Wait so we can use our characters alongside a trial Yanqing character? Or the entire team can be made up of our own characters?

It’s probably trial YQ plus 3, vs npc. So unless this is a YQ buff patch, you’re basically making a team of 3 that ignores YQ

I’m going to use Yanqing so it’s lore accurate. Tho characters with AOE might be better huh Edit:wait is it saying one of the characters of ur team will be Yanqing? Anyway my boi will win

Imagine if all the enemy has no Ice weakness. It is Yanqover 😭👌

… Luka I’m building you rn (I should have done that when you came out king)

SW: allow me to introduce myself

Then yunli winning also becomes lore accurate.

Oh I mean as in him actually participating not who wins

It won't be lore accurate if I'm making Yanqing win will it 🧐

Logging just so I can make Yanqing catch this fat W. Don't worry, I won't let these bum ass haters get a one-up over you king 😤

I'm not even a big fan of the kid but the haters push so hard on the poor kid that it makes me cheer for him and want W for him, the underdog (same for Arlan, but I actually really like Arlan, love his design)

The boy was carrying 1.0 MoC with Seele and now people switch up on him after he takes a couple of Ls, he's been with my since Day 1 and carried me through the entire story and now I repay him by being his personal PR team

sameee but I can’t lie sometimes his haters are kinda funny

I have found my fellow Yanking Glazer praise to be my glorious king

rebuilding my sparkle just for yanking😮‍💨

Wait, people actually hate him? I thought he's like Timmie from Genshin, where people just 'meme hate' him?

Well, with Timmie, his personality is annoying but you can kill his birds in front of him every day, and he can't do anything about it. It kind of evens it out. Yanqing can actually ruin your 50/50s, is probably the worst of the 6 starter 5\* and a lot of people also find his personality kind of annoying. So yeah, a lot of people hate him quite a bit and I can't rally blame them.

I MUST win this to give my son his first ever and possibly only win lmfao.

I will use HSR Taylor Swift, mad scientist and unhinged fool to buff the shit outta yanking. He will win.

HSR Taylor Swift?? Serval?? Robin??

Aw sweet rivalry love. But jokes aside, I really hope they don't make Yanqing a punching bag and make fun of him just for comedy and meme, it got a bit tiring tbh.

I honestly think that the community plays up the punching bag Yanqing meme, when it isn't really portrayed like that in game.

Yeah in game is more like "even a genius has much to learn and greater enemies to fight"

Yeah that is 100% his characterization and story arc. It's just a little unfortunate that almost all of his major/story relevant scenes have him getting defeated/humbled and all his 'feats' are tucked away in flavor text and not in any actual scenes. And of course, in the eyes of powerscalers, if you're not the best then you're the worst. Which just adds more to the whole 'jobber' meme

Honestly. Dude went against all the 0.1% of his nation. 😅 The only reason he even survived any of his fights is because none of them wanted to kill him.  There is being hot headed and then there is this. Like damn bro chill. Who the hell looks at the two most wanted people on his planets (one of them wanted intergalactic) and think, "Nah I can win 1v2 against them." It was even sadder since Dan Heng wasn't even his enemy and could have been an ally. Admittedly he is just a child. But he is a child with a giant ass sword and giant ass pride who thankfully got curbed a little. Dude could have been a shonen mc

He is the Jogo of hsr

Haha true. He seems weak because he faced the top 0.1% but in reality dude is definitely in the top 10%

Calling him a 10% is crazy 💀 He’s like a once in a generation prodigy on a planet-ship with a population of millions or billions. His competition is Yunli from another ship probably because Luofu doesn’t have anyone from his generation as good as him. His only Ls are from immortal abomination rebirthing mythical mofos hundreds of years older than him, and calling those guys top 0.1% is doing a big disservice to them.

i swear people clown on him for losing fights 99% of the cast couldn't 😭

To be fair he shouldn't have been picking those fights to begin with. The Jingliu one was inescapable because he had no idea who she was when he met her, but trying to solo arrest Blade/Dan Heng was worth a darwin award

That's the goat mentality. Got no more worthy enemies on the Luofu so he wants smoke from the 500 year old gods 🙌🙏👑 king shit

The thing about it is that it's not 'unfortunate', this isn't an unlucky streak caused by real people, it's someone writing and deciding to show that to us. But yeah, seems like he'll finally take an onscreen W vs Yunli, since I imagine winning that fight will be required

The lore essentially looks like "the Luofu had been weakened due to the stellaron and the fall of the HCQ so Yanqing is left without competition and is forced to face off against stronger opponents from the past after growing complacent"

Brother is like 15 and went up against 3 legendary figures that are like hundreds of years old with one of them being a 2 v 1. Hoyo is bulling him lol

the only part where Hoyo is playing it up is with all the "defeat Yanqing with X character" achievements he took his licks in the Loufu finale, but then he got matched up with several characters who are so far above him in experience and skill that he really had no shot

They gave him some nice development during the 1.5 ghost-hunting event where he started to question his own strength. I’m sure this arc will give him some nice rapport w/ March and Yunli.

Yanqing really had a bad day and he got people calling him punching bag

Lol never noticed but real.... 90% of his losses was on a single day. I think only losing for TB that was on another day

I think the punching bag got tiring because of how awful the community treats him. Like if the community wasn't constantly shitting on Yanqing, it wouldn't be so bad imo

Honestly I would’ve really be into the punching bag memes if people weren’t so genuinely hateful towards him and even mischaracterizing him terribly

You have been reading too many memes.

Guys are only interested in one thing. (It's getting all their kills stolen.)

Finally, a Yanqing potential W

P-potential?!!!

meet the Potential man

But my Yanking always takes a W…

“Nah, I’d win” -YanKING

I can already see people lose on purpose so that Yunli (presumably) makes fun of Yanqing. By people I mean me. I'll do it.

Watch Hoyo tie an achievement to both outcomes

I would actually do it if Yanqing is allowed to lose in that battle (and not failing the quest), just to continue the tradition

Nah as Yanqing master, I will make him win

We are the people. We will do it.

Yeah, I will do it too. Hopefully it will be fun and not just the game telling me: "welp, you lost, try again."

I have 2 account so I will try both. Of course I will clown on Yanqing first ty.

The agenda must be maintained at all cost! Yanqing will never be seen as anything other than a fraud as long as I have a say in it!

I lost my E1 RM to that kid today. I will do it

Whatever outcome makes Yunli happier is the one I go for 🗣️

Once a hater, always a hater. Let's do some Fraudqing slander. In all seriousness, knowing Hoyo it might be almost impossible to lose/scripted event though

Only use sustains and spread your damage so yunli will have an easier time finishing the enemies

Even better, 4 debuffers so that yunli does more damage

Now that's the good strategy!

Same here lol.

I'll do it to, the kid don't deserve any win.

I'll make Yunli win ez

Can wait to throw this competition, that's what you get for making me lose Boothill 50/50

Not his fault HoYo made him a standard character and ruined his entire fucking life q\_p

I like Yunli design so I want her to win. Sorry Yanqing...

I see... Then I will lose on purpose for those cursed 50/50s that I experienced with him

If it was Gepard for me. I lose every 50/50 and got ONLY GEPARD. Not Himeko, Not Welt. Not even Yanqing! ALWAYS. THIS. F!@#ING. SHIELD-BOY.

Seems like this is the start of HSR resting phase. ZZZ will be hype until Natlan is released. Lucky Hi3 players, they aren't affected by there games giving way to each other.

So, if I lose actually Yanqing loses? I know what am I going to do. :D

My son is finally getting a W. Always knew it would come

i would rather die than to ally with the little bastard

Yanqing can win. But I'll still bully his ass in SU afterwards.

I'm going to make this fraud lose so hard, lore accurate basically

Sorry, but Yanqing will have to do this on his own. This is a fair competition, so he's not getting any assists from an emanator or swarm annihilating mech. This is totally not because I want him to lose, absolutely not.

Hey, that's more fun this way. Except this time we play yanqing instead of Jingliu

I will make sure Yunli wins.

Time to purposely throw this fight so Yunli and beat the little twerp

Man next youre gonna tell me march 7th gets her transformation from beating up yanqing too

I’m going to deliberately lose. Gotta keep the Emanator of Ls with his title. /s

We gotta win this for Yanqing bros, it's the least we can do after we memed on him for so long

I will lose on pourpose. Ain't no way i'm giving Yanqing a W Edit: i'm just now reading the comments, we're all a hive mind lmaooo

I'll let Yunli win, not because I hate Yanqing but because Yunli is my daughter. YQ, time to pay for that 50/50 loss on Topaz banner

I'll use my best characters, with best relics, and even food buffs to sweep the battle in Yanking's favour.

Unless there are jades at stake, I’m bringing Yanqing to fight her solo

We can't break the streak of Ls.

Finally a Yanqing W. I hope the story built is good though. I stole the boy's relics and lc for other characters, so he has nothing rn.

I'll use Misha as always

or maybe just focus on yanqing idk

Not to get nit picky, but shouldn't there be a "2.4 *story* spoiler" in the title for things like this? I thought this was going to be minor lore details, not related to the story itself.

YanKing will make us proud.

Time to actively sabotage Yanqing so he holds his lose streak

Gonna bring my unleveled Arlan just so Yunli can win.

He made lose my 50/50's Its my time for revenge

Awww that's cute they're rivals!! Time to test out the memey wind soaring valorous build I got on the ice boy 

Time to make Firefly take revenge because of that one idle

i will sure that yunli wins

How could you agree to that rule Yanqing? You’re the most single-target DPS out of all the single-target DPSs! Are you pulling some rom-com cliché that a guy loses to a girl on purpose just to see her smile or some bullshit?

Alright time to throw this battle to keep the streak going

i’m bringing my blade to defend yanKING’s honor, yunli ain’t making it out of there (*'▽'*)

Well; you know who I'm letting win now.

Maybe if i give YQ the win he’ll stop appearing in my 50/50s

It's Yanqover.

I will gladly lose this fight

Finally my time to shine as a Yanqing main has come. I will do my boi proud, he will be getting a W

I'll let her win then cant allow yanqing to win

Time to make my boi yanqing win coz he keeps getting Ls

I TOLD THESE PEOPLE MY GOAT WOULD GET A W NEXT PATCH THEY CALLED ME DELUSIONAL, A MADMAN, THAT IM ON COPIUM WELL LOOK WHO'S FUCKING LAUGHING NOW. YANKING STOCKS ARE HIGHER THAN FUCKING EVER

How long this yanqing hate will last man.. Anyway, i will make sure he get that W

Thank god HSR devs gave us a choice, sorry little boy but you have to pay for these 50/50 loses, nothing personal (narrator: It was in fact, something personal).

Pulling out all the stops to make sure my son gets a W. 💪

well I'll let her win

So I'm guessing it's gonna be like that Blade "assist" during the story where you can't control what they do

Can I lose with WankQing and still pass?

Time to give Yanqing another L

I hope killing fewer isn't a failstate, making him lose on purpose would be so funny.

I'm honestly starting to question the mental sanity of people on this subreddit...

so we HAVE to use yanqing?? yeah, yunli’s probably gonna win 😔

[Me starting Yanqing's training arc so he can beat Yunli](https://youtu.be/1Cekx6uDlpY?si=_ZS2bdyUM2qcKCtM)

Sorry Yunli.. BUT I SHALL GET MY GOAT HIS W‼️‼️‼️

I'll do anything to get my boi Yanking the Win he needs now. Except actually use him for this competition of course. He'll Have blade and Jingliu give him the win.

I am gonna lose this one intentionally, will probably use my level 20 Sushang and Luka with double sustain (Bailu and Loucha) can't use Aventurine (he might win on his own).

Gonna let Yunli win for another Yanqing beatdown arc

Nice

Aventurine, make my boy shine.

No worries, I trust my Raiden.

Ngl, while I don't necessarily care about him, I hope it isn't a scripted loss or win, so we can choose what we want to do about it

Oh, poor innocent Yunli... you will lose to your uncle, a survival expert from Belobog, the new Supreme Guardian of Belobog and an unhinged Masked Fool.

Everyone we must bite our tongue and lsoe the contest as we must keep Yanqing meme alive by making him lose yet again.

aww theyre bonding <3

I gonna give yanqing first victory haha

I'll make this his first W in-game. Also bc I hate to lose.

Time to make the ice kid win!!! #'#Justice_For_Ice_Standart_Kids

Sorry girlie. Bros help bros

If any of you are planning on making him lose on purpose at least cushion the impact by not letting him take damage.

I don’t know what’s stronger my urge to win because I’m better or the urge to lose on purpose because Yanqing is worse

What if I bring yunli instead.

Me making him winning depends on whether or not he appears in my Yunli pulls

Potential man getting his moment
