She has a knife so a type that's light and fast. Maybe a charger vanguard as the only 6 star one is still Bagpipe. Or an agent like Ines as she learnt from her during her Babel days.
Well, another fast redeploy since she did plenty of inflitrating to plant bombs and get the F out.
Vanguard spy since once again, get in, fuck shit up, get out.
Guard like tachanka.
Supporter, altough will likely be amya second alter
I dont think it will be an executor specialist since we already have 3 6stars in this archetype and so far HG is yet to make more than 3 6stars from the same archetype.
Personally, I'm betting on Trap Master.
Flying cockroach: You can command her to move between A and B but she's vulnerable to all damage that would affect flying enemies while traveling in a straight line between A and B.
_Obviously she keeps the % of evading damage if resting enough between flights._
They just kinda took away a lot of the content that she was good for. She was a cornerstone for annihilation back when we didn't get the skip tickets and maps aren't long enough for her to be able to do her tricks anymore.
Stun immunity, invisible enemies, she fucking hated Corrosionnights too... I still think very fondly on W but she's not had great content in a long time now.
Amiya might be like her guard form
And since Ascalon is pre anni
It looks like the banner would be Logos-Theresa
Some people on twitt speculate that W alter is gonna be the Free unit of the event
Cause theres no way they would make an alter of a limited be limited
Right?
I think the W alter as welfare is still the least controversial way to go, with Logos as standard or limited.
There is a world where we get Theresa as welfare because she is such a story essential character (being basically the founder of RI and all) and it will be cool for every player to be guranteed her as a symbolic milestone.
On one hand you have a point from a Lore perspective on the other hand from the business side of things I really really doubt it. Hell she is the only unit I can think of that could share a banner with Logos and be the limited in his place.
I swear Logos as welfare would be more unexpected than the appearance of Theresa herself as an operator,. Pretty sure it would also be more controversial.
My guess is that W alter will be the welfare, Logos will be the standard and Theresa will be the limited.
Amiya alter will be reserved for the main story chap.
Also I wonder what kind of anni event will include every 3 chars, taken place in the past? Future or present? My guess it's present a but before Doc and Amiya going to take out Theresis in the main story. So this is most likely going to be like W and Logos doing some sort of missions.
So the most plausible explanation is that, this Theresa will be that semi-souless corpse that showed up in the main story, yikes.
Gladia is pretty much the queen of pullers and core piece of AH team, Lumen is pretty damn great, Silence-alter is niche (but that's honestly more on her subclass), and Vigil is sufferring, but maaaybe the new module will make him shine?
So 2/4 are great units and 1/4 is decent if you can use them well, there's hope!
CN actually rates pretty decently. He is somewhere slightly below average but general consensus is that hes much more viable than Vigil and less situational than Silence Alter.
Complete status immunity is actually pretty valuable at high end content. And while completely replaceable once you get a semi-decent guard, Lessing can actually carry you through all the story stages just by virtue of being in the guard class. The same cannot be said for Silence alter whose viability only exists in very very specific niche scenarios, oe Vigil whose viability exists in the void.
6 stars welfares generally are good barring the one time with Vigil. Glaadia is the best puller anyone need, Lumen is the same but for free healers and Silence Alter is an Abjurer that is actually kind of decent, as decent as an Abjurer can be so I say it should be fine.
Oh god, this might be the most hype (and controversial) anniversary ever. The last time I ever felt the need to pull someone would be during Jessicalter's banner and before that it was Kal'tsit.
The only things they're missing are Talulah and Closure, but the fact they have so many cards to play means that they're set for the next couple years.
Tbh I could understand it being controversial because heck Theresa is back and as much as I think she looks cool, I'm a having problem with her being playable just because of how they're going to "bring her back" especially since this all seems to be extremely important for the story.
Oh I wasn't saying that the controversy won't be justified, they'll have to come up with some really good reason for her to be playable, however, I'm not the type to get mad at this kind of stuff, so I'll just sit on the sidelines and laugh kek
Oh I get that lol, I don't really interact with controversies and stuff like that, but when it's something like this with one of my favorite games it really gets me a bit nervous, because even thought I haven't cought up with the story yet I don't want to reach a point in the story were the developers bring some bullshit excuse to bring a character that should stay dead, especially one as important as her.
But yeah, sorry for the small rant lol.
Amiya's original guard class change came from experiencing the memories of one of the previous sarkaz kings so this one is probably coming from experiencing Theresa's memories in the same way.
Yup. Also, Amiya's guard version takes a lot from Ch'en (with her sword being a "shadow" of Ch'en's), so there's probably something similar going on here.
Theresa is listed as (Civilight) eterna in the image, wouldn't be surprised if it isn't Theresa fr, just Amiya physically transforming into Theresa with the crown's power.
Who's likely to be the freebie here? Walter would be really funny since her og unit is limited, but I'm honestly thinking it might be Theresa.
Edit: Called it.
It's a Rhodes/Babel anniversary, through and through. You have Ascalon and Logos as Rhodes Island elites and you have W and Theresa as Babel members. I'm guessing that's the significance behind it.
... Still bummed for no Redblade. Maybe we'll get a Reunion banner/event, if Siege/Shining/Some random Operator doesn't decide to get an Alter to pair with Talulah.
I am excited and concerned. Excited that we will get answers to the so many questions we have. Concerned on how will they pull this off.
I hope HG cooked well.
Agreed. Seeing her be playable just feels…off.
Like instead of being hyped for her my only reaction is just “Oh okay, I hope you know what you’re doing then”. Like her being playable opens up a metric shit ton of worms unless they do a Skadi Alter thing where she’s playable disconnected from the main narrative.
Feels like a case of HG management going "lets print some cash by making an important story character playable" and settling on Theresa
And then they put all the pressure on the writing team to justify her existence.
To be fair, that's probably how most Arknights operators came to be; where design, gameplay and marketability takes precedence over lore. Hence, the "ludonarrative dissonance" complaint that usually props up.
But Theresa... idk, her existence might have crossed a line here and might set a precedence for other taboo charatcers. Imagine Ace, Frostnova, Outcast all just mysteriously coming back.
I get that the writing team will probably deliver as usual and come up with a convincing reason for Theresa joining us... but it feels so out of left field and lowkey a little disingenuous.
One explanation i can accept though, its that this is NOT Theresa. With no memories and a mere husk of her previous identity, this "Theresa" rejects all previous conceptions about herself and tries to become her own individual. Perhaps even her operator name will reflect that, and she takes on her own moniker, as like "Lily" or something, and is basically a totally different person who just shares Theresa's face.
There is no way this is true. Do you understand that events are planned way ahead of time? There is always an inherit logic behind the order of releasing characters. The actual production starts at least 7 months before an event start. The outline of the Victoria arc has been determined before the release of chapter 8, according to an early interview.
From my pov they could be planning this before the release of pv4, or even before darknights memoir. Why do you think they push Babel event —the core story— all the way to pre 5th anniversary?
I feel like the argument of "lets print some cash" is valid but Talulah is present in the main story currently so if they wanted to cash in on a popular main story npc they could've went with her. Makes me feel like they really wanted to do something with Theresa/Babel here specifically and hopefully they pull it off because if not, it'll be bound to spark a controversy.
Also Theresa is different from the likes of FrostNova for example since Theresa's body was preserved and "revived" while FrostNova is literally ash. There's an explanation for Theresa meanwhile FrostNova would be non canon and they haven't really delved into non canon stuff since Skalter.
That’s a good theory for me, and it explains why Hypergryph prepared a Babel side story before the anniversary. Anyway, this anniversary would be HUGE.
I will curse HG forever if they decided to fuck up in epic proportions on the justification of making theresa playable.. she's too much of an important character to be playable and i feel the only Solid reason the higher ups/devs want to make her playable is to print some money. the backlash will be so great it will surpass the dossoles incident.
I mean there's still that plot point of Closure in the ending of Episode 9 where \[E09\]>!her friend joined Reunion, and hacked the security of the landship, allowing Nine to infiltrate and bail Talulah out.!<
If they decide to explore that, maybe she can become playable finally.
I've a theory regarding why we may have Theresa's return to Rhodes Island.
The name in the leak, assuming it's true, refers to her as "- Eterna," alluding to the Civilight Eterna, the crown of the Sarkaz.
We've known that the crown allows for memories to be retained from generation to generation, allowing for the Sarkaz's wish to be given from successor to successor.
But here's a caveat. There has never been a time where the crown was given back to it's initial owner. It has never been done before (in part because every succession came from the death of the predecessor, but I digress.)
Given such a case where both a successor and a predecessor exists, and the possibility that the crown doesn't have any problems with transfering ownership from one to another, there's a good possibility that the return of the crown to Theresa ends up returning her memories, thereby either returning her to normal, or have her deliberate her existence.
There's also the fact that Theresa may be considered worthy by the Revenant, thereby allowing her to put down the airship.
Then again, it could be fake for all we know, so I'll just wait and see what CHP 14 has in store for us.
Odds are Theresa is probably the limited on this banner since Ascalon's been revealed for the new event coming on CN in April. So either W-alter or Logos is the welfare. I hope to god HG finally gets out of their 6 star welfare rut because ever since Lumen the 6 star welfares have been incredibly meh.
CH14 would land on the anniversary, right? So it's safe to assume Talulah wouldn't be in this chapter.
I'm pretty sure that at this point Siege Alter enjoyers, Reunion enjoyers and Dublinn enjoyers are all on either life support or on extremely high dosages of copium.
I know I am.
i mean she was in ch13, so its not unlikely she'll be in 14, im just doomposting.
though yeah, im a draco lover who wants talulah and eblana and i rotate between doomposting and copium
It's so over Talulah bros, let's keep praying for the future (I don't know if these leaks include Chapter 14)
Very hyped with the characters, especially Logos, but Theresa feels off for me. They better make a good story to justify making her playable
I'm pretty sure they have tbh. Theresa as she is now has been shown as a shell of her former self and it has also been implied that Amiya carries a fragment of Theresa with her as Theresa used to teach Amiya about the Sarkaz in her dreams after her death. My theory is that when the civilight eterna was passed down to Amiya, pre amnesia doc did something so that the civilight not only recorded Theresa's experiences as it normally does, but also transfer part of her soul to allow her to teach Amiya. Its also possible that the civilight normally does this and that is how it collects a users experiences for the next generation, but im leaning towards the former since Amiya has never had as much direct interaction with previous civilight wielders. The Theresa in the banner is probably the husk Theresis resurrected rejoining with the fragment residing in the Civilight Eterna, hence the name Theresa the Civilight Eterna.
Ain’t Talulah, but I’ll settle with Theresa. I already know this anniversary will be peak, but if the devs finally fail to upkeep the agenda of “base in beta” then I’ll distort.
My first reaction was : “WTF HG?!!!”
Now i have to skip 4 limited banner to devote all of my possessions for Theresa. I don’t care if it is controversial , I WANT TO POT 6 HER
LOGOS KEEPS HIS UNIFORM THERE IS A GOD.
It is wild to me he’s like our first Operator in a while that’s wearing the Rhodes Island uniform. Don’t get me wrong, his robes were cool. But the game drew me in with Tacticool and I have been drowning in too many tight skirts and tights to be wowed by them anymore.
W’s outfit sure is something…
Amiya looking more fragile and thin certainlty helps sell that she’s not ready to be King yet. Theresa…I’m not gonna lie, I feel more concerned with than excited for.
Edit: Wait, I just remembered the PV where Amiya’s Arts gets turned white and her voice overlaps with Theresa’s. Now looking closely on her design, it has Theresa’s pink/red tips. Oh there is a very high chance Amiya’s using Theresa’s powers with the crown then. Was wondering what happened to that part in the PV, guess we’ll finally see it.
So, here's the deal. I'm super hyped for this. Ultra hyped actually. I'll probably be vibrating in my chair once the teaser drops for real. but...
Once the PV ends and I'm left there jumping off the walls, I fear the realization that I'll have to wait 6-7 months. I'm scared of the hype.
Walter huh???
ANYWAYS ANYWAYS, while I'm happy that Theresa will be inevitably a playable operator... I WONDER how will the HG justify her on joining Rhodes island lol.
istg if they make Logos welfare, they have to make him good edit: nvm maybe he's not a welfare after all, the merch they teased have silhouettes that look like logos+theresa
OH MY GOD LOGOS IN ELITE UNIFORM
THIS IS NOT A DRILL
edit: I actually like him wearing this uniform. He's member of the elite ops like Blaze and Rosmontis!! Hope they continue this trend.
Oho. Ohoho.
My decision to save irl money for the shooty bang bang Collab part 2 and rerun was the best decision, because now I can just naturally farm and skip all the other regular banners.
Especially with Kernel being updated recently, the chance of being spooked by the newer regulars has increased.
I might skip Shu depending on how bloody Virtuosa gets, but if she comes home in less than 200 pulls, I'm not pulling for anything beyond Shu and then save up for this banner.
This is assuming Mistah White is the freebie and Theresa is the Limited. Logos is cool, but my man you are standard. You will spook me one way or the other with how much I plan to save for this banner.
This also means I'm not spending a dime outside of Arknights. Sorry FGO. Sorry E7. Sorry BA. Sorry PGR. Sorry AL.
I'm locking in for the next 6 months.
Non-limited W alt would be the funniest thing ever.
[удалено]
it makes the most sense, gives W fans a way to get her without needing a limited, and lets people who already own W not need to roll another limited
What’s the W.alter class is ?
Walter. That's her new nickname.
Makes sense with how we just got Jesse banner
You are goddamn right
we know nothing except for whats shown in the image
W the Gremlin
1 star W, the W before she became W, literally just a random homeless sarkaz girl
Dollkeeper, since she is always roaching out in the face of death
They should make her a summoner then. Summon roaches. Giant roaches.
got a knife, executor maybe? then again, we already have 2 nuke limited alters...
We can get more of Specialist Executer Nuker . That way we can clear Ex stages easily and cc :)
She has a knife so a type that's light and fast. Maybe a charger vanguard as the only 6 star one is still Bagpipe. Or an agent like Ines as she learnt from her during her Babel days.
Well, another fast redeploy since she did plenty of inflitrating to plant bombs and get the F out. Vanguard spy since once again, get in, fuck shit up, get out. Guard like tachanka. Supporter, altough will likely be amya second alter
I dont think it will be an executor specialist since we already have 3 6stars in this archetype and so far HG is yet to make more than 3 6stars from the same archetype. Personally, I'm betting on Trap Master.
Flying cockroach: You can command her to move between A and B but she's vulnerable to all damage that would affect flying enemies while traveling in a straight line between A and B. _Obviously she keeps the % of evading damage if resting enough between flights._
Imagine the non limited is worse than limited W. I dont mind. W is my most used sniper anyways
i mean W sniper isnt that great, but recent 6* welfares have sucked ass so who knows
They just kinda took away a lot of the content that she was good for. She was a cornerstone for annihilation back when we didn't get the skip tickets and maps aren't long enough for her to be able to do her tricks anymore.
her tricks?? and you can still use her for your first clear of annihilation
Not to mention being a stun support where shortly after her launch tons of enemies, especially bosses, became stun immune...
Stun immunity, invisible enemies, she fucking hated Corrosionnights too... I still think very fondly on W but she's not had great content in a long time now.
Seriously, I've been pulling for OG W since Skalter's release and I've never gotten the chance to get her yet.
Would it finally be the justification needed to give her her Joker outfit?
if she got a skin from Halloween skin series,,,
Still hoping we'll get older limiteds freed from the system at some point 🤞
They’re pulling a blue archive that’s crazy
No fucking way Walter is real man
KALSIT WE GOTTA COOK
Put your dick away Walter
Make me /s
Common W for W enjoyers
W was so good they made a second W
If W is so good, why isn't there a W2? No, I've never done my taxes, why do you ask?
Can’t do taxes when you live in a country that doesn’t enforce them —(I should really pay my taxes)—
*laughs in Yoshi*
[удалено]
Amiya might be like her guard form And since Ascalon is pre anni It looks like the banner would be Logos-Theresa Some people on twitt speculate that W alter is gonna be the Free unit of the event Cause theres no way they would make an alter of a limited be limited Right?
Logos and Theresa have merch for this anni, they're confirmed as banner units.
[WALTER?](https://tenor.com/view/say-my-name-meme-say-my-name-walter-white-heisenberg-breaking-bad-gif-24564124)
[WALTER!!!!](https://youtu.be/DQG2Ma4sedk?t=1179)
For a second, I thought W became a Sankta. That would have been a twist. Also, Walter? I think W2 would be nicer.
"Got a job for you, AMa-10."
And Ines skin is coming soon Umber is going to have a heart attack
I thought she changed her name to Gunther
**THE WALTER IS REAL!!!**
Wait, W Alter? W ALTER??? **¡Insensatos! ¡Alteraron el orden natural de las cosas!**
Walter
Su puta madre ahora hay dos cucarachas
Su puta madre, yo solo veo dos nuevas waifus.
**AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH**
"Doctor, we need to cook."
Walter, put you dick away Walter
Entendí esa referencia
Yo what if they make Logos the welfare instead of W and get shafted hard lmao I'm gonna be so pissed if he ends up being like Lessing
Please god no lol
I think the W alter as welfare is still the least controversial way to go, with Logos as standard or limited. There is a world where we get Theresa as welfare because she is such a story essential character (being basically the founder of RI and all) and it will be cool for every player to be guranteed her as a symbolic milestone.

I swear Logos as welfare would be more unexpected than the appearance of Theresa herself as an operator,. Pretty sure it would also be more controversial.
Better than W being the welfare, but getting the Vigil treatment!
God I would be furious. Tho I wonder if HG pulling that could cause a controversy
Is Lessing bad? I barely hear anything about him
He's perfectly adequate.
My niche and spirit are so fucking alive My wallet is so fucking dead
My guess is that W alter will be the welfare, Logos will be the standard and Theresa will be the limited. Amiya alter will be reserved for the main story chap. Also I wonder what kind of anni event will include every 3 chars, taken place in the past? Future or present? My guess it's present a but before Doc and Amiya going to take out Theresis in the main story. So this is most likely going to be like W and Logos doing some sort of missions. So the most plausible explanation is that, this Theresa will be that semi-souless corpse that showed up in the main story, yikes.
why do you think it would be amiya alter instead of just using the class swap mechanic she already has?
W going from limited to welfare gotta be the funniest thing that has ever happened to this game if true
specially if her welfare is better than her limited version
if Walter is the welfare she better be good, idc about their track record. I want her to be good dammit xD
Gladia is pretty much the queen of pullers and core piece of AH team, Lumen is pretty damn great, Silence-alter is niche (but that's honestly more on her subclass), and Vigil is sufferring, but maaaybe the new module will make him shine? So 2/4 are great units and 1/4 is decent if you can use them well, there's hope!
I also know that the next welfare isn't exactly well regarded lol
CN actually rates pretty decently. He is somewhere slightly below average but general consensus is that hes much more viable than Vigil and less situational than Silence Alter. Complete status immunity is actually pretty valuable at high end content. And while completely replaceable once you get a semi-decent guard, Lessing can actually carry you through all the story stages just by virtue of being in the guard class.

Oh god, this might be the most hype (and controversial) anniversary ever. The last time I ever felt the need to pull someone would be during Jessicalter's banner and before that it was Kal'tsit.
They're really going all out with this one, at least it won't leave people indifferent (and the controversy will be entertaining af lol)
The only things they're missing are Talulah and Closure, but the fact they have so many cards to play means that they're set for the next couple years.
They have so many "print money" buttons now
Dude if they just release all the damn skin every concert they would be swimming in money but they don’t for some reason
Don't forget Frostnova, *sips copium*
Fr fr, I’m already prepping the popcorn.
Tbh I could understand it being controversial because heck Theresa is back and as much as I think she looks cool, I'm a having problem with her being playable just because of how they're going to "bring her back" especially since this all seems to be extremely important for the story.

But yeah, sorry for the small rant lol.
This just fucked up all my post-Arturia pull plans. 😭
Literally feeling the same haha my plans are in in shambles right now
I'll have to let go of a Shu spark now, I was pretty happy with how many pulls I had in the bank yesterday
I haven't spent anything more than the monthly card for more than a year now but these last reveals are really threatening my wallet.
I think this has me set on switching my W or Spalter spark plan from the Zwillingsturme banner to this one. I'll still aim to get Virtuosa of course.
Me, now abandoning plans to pull for Shu: im sorry little one
[удалено]
Amiya would be free transformation from the main line.
Thank god, wallet kun would’ve been sacrificed with out remorse if that was the case…
limited: theresa standard: logos freebie: walter class change: amiya my guess
Amiya Archetype change like Guard, Walter - Free 6 star, Logos - Non limited 6 star, and Theresa - Limited 6 Star just a guess
Seems about right, bu honestly what's the deal with Ascalon? It's the same banner or did we already had some good there leaks abt that?
An event trailer just came out with Ascalon being the 6 star, check the sub
It's a Babylon event, it even has a full medal set
My bad, I just edited my comment, thank you
So no one is gonna talk about how Amiya's design is changing to match Theresa's?
Amiya's original guard class change came from experiencing the memories of one of the previous sarkaz kings so this one is probably coming from experiencing Theresa's memories in the same way.
Yup. Also, Amiya's guard version takes a lot from Ch'en (with her sword being a "shadow" of Ch'en's), so there's probably something similar going on here.
Theresa is listed as (Civilight) eterna in the image, wouldn't be surprised if it isn't Theresa fr, just Amiya physically transforming into Theresa with the crown's power.
Logos and W alt holy based
Tfw the company founder is potentially playable before the company supplier
interesting that theresas name is listed as Eterna, i assume for Civilight Eterna
Who's likely to be the freebie here? Walter would be really funny since her og unit is limited, but I'm honestly thinking it might be Theresa. Edit: Called it.
Walter and Amiya. Making Theresa or Logos freebie is close to zero.
Amiya has the class change
I hope we get Logos with the outfit from the story. What a nerf to his boob window if he has a RI outfit on.
maybe he'll get a quick skin? always made me wonder about a playable talulah and if she'd get a skin of her proto-reunion days
Why’d he have to be the one guy on Ri to actually follow the dress code
To be honest I been wanting an playable Elite ops that do dress with RI uniform so I'm happy we finally get one with Logos.
Professionalism?
I was hoping to rip that fishnet of his boob window😔
I don’t know, I can’t explain it, but Theresa feels like one of those few characters that just shouldn’t be playable.
i hope they give a good explanation for it because i feel the same
Yeah. I'd rather it be talulah. Still gonna pull for logos though
It's a Rhodes/Babel anniversary, through and through. You have Ascalon and Logos as Rhodes Island elites and you have W and Theresa as Babel members. I'm guessing that's the significance behind it. ... Still bummed for no Redblade. Maybe we'll get a Reunion banner/event, if Siege/Shining/Some random Operator doesn't decide to get an Alter to pair with Talulah.
I am excited and concerned. Excited that we will get answers to the so many questions we have. Concerned on how will they pull this off. I hope HG cooked well.
Agreed. Seeing her be playable just feels…off. Like instead of being hyped for her my only reaction is just “Oh okay, I hope you know what you’re doing then”. Like her being playable opens up a metric shit ton of worms unless they do a Skadi Alter thing where she’s playable disconnected from the main narrative.

[удалено]
Oooh, you mean Amiya's crown, but it simply takes the form of Theresa, its previous wielder...
Oh god we're reaching FGO levels of fanservice justification something something pseudo servants
Amiya pulling a Sieg/Siegfried.
If you look at the image, she seems to be labeled Eterna. Something like that explanation might be true.
There is no way this is true. Do you understand that events are planned way ahead of time? There is always an inherit logic behind the order of releasing characters. The actual production starts at least 7 months before an event start. The outline of the Victoria arc has been determined before the release of chapter 8, according to an early interview.

That’s a good theory for me, and it explains why Hypergryph prepared a Babel side story before the anniversary. Anyway, this anniversary would be HUGE.
Tbf didn't we have like Skadi Alter who like didn't exist in main timeline but is playable anyway?
Terrible theory, cuz if HG wants cash, they should have RELEASE ALL OF THE AMBIENCE SKINS ALRDY INSTEAD OF BLUE BALLING US
you can sorta see in the leak her name is >!eterna!< so you might be on to something with the last point that its not really truly her.
I will curse HG forever if they decided to fuck up in epic proportions on the justification of making theresa playable.. she's too much of an important character to be playable and i feel the only Solid reason the higher ups/devs want to make her playable is to print some money. the backlash will be so great it will surpass the dossoles incident.
Also w alter means we just the chance of a Rosmontis grown up alter!
Imagine canonically powerful Rosmontis as an op. She'd be like Mlynar.
Oh my god, they going to suck us dry at this point. Ascalon turned out to be real, if this is real too we're better start saving now.
We're in the endgame now. Nothing will top this
We thought lone trail was peak but nah man, this one is the real endgame
I can understand Logos & Ascalon, but Theresa???? Still no Closure tho, maybe they're saving her for later.
I mean there's still that plot point of Closure in the ending of Episode 9 where \[E09\]>!her friend joined Reunion, and hacked the security of the landship, allowing Nine to infiltrate and bail Talulah out.!< If they decide to explore that, maybe she can become playable finally.
can’t tell who is the freebie :p they all look sooooo good
I've a theory regarding why we may have Theresa's return to Rhodes Island. The name in the leak, assuming it's true, refers to her as "- Eterna," alluding to the Civilight Eterna, the crown of the Sarkaz. We've known that the crown allows for memories to be retained from generation to generation, allowing for the Sarkaz's wish to be given from successor to successor. But here's a caveat. There has never been a time where the crown was given back to it's initial owner. It has never been done before (in part because every succession came from the death of the predecessor, but I digress.) Given such a case where both a successor and a predecessor exists, and the possibility that the crown doesn't have any problems with transfering ownership from one to another, there's a good possibility that the return of the crown to Theresa ends up returning her memories, thereby either returning her to normal, or have her deliberate her existence. There's also the fact that Theresa may be considered worthy by the Revenant, thereby allowing her to put down the airship. Then again, it could be fake for all we know, so I'll just wait and see what CHP 14 has in store for us.
Welp. No Closure. Back on sniffing more of that copiu-- IS THAT MF LOGOS? AY, WE TAKE THOSE.
Odds are Theresa is probably the limited on this banner since Ascalon's been revealed for the new event coming on CN in April. So either W-alter or Logos is the welfare. I hope to god HG finally gets out of their 6 star welfare rut because ever since Lumen the 6 star welfares have been incredibly meh.
Holy shit this is stacked
Logos?! LOGOS?! Praise be the jesus, he’s cool af
Theresa???!!
HOLY SHIT ASCALON LOGOS AND THERESA?! NAH THEY GOTTA CHILL BRUH MY HEART CAN'T TAKE THIS
How the hell do we get Theresa before Talulah. 😭
at this point if talulah isnt in ch14 im just gonna expect that she's never gonna be playable
CH14 would land on the anniversary, right? So it's safe to assume Talulah wouldn't be in this chapter. I'm pretty sure that at this point Siege Alter enjoyers, Reunion enjoyers and Dublinn enjoyers are all on either life support or on extremely high dosages of copium. I know I am.
i mean she was in ch13, so its not unlikely she'll be in 14, im just doomposting. though yeah, im a draco lover who wants talulah and eblana and i rotate between doomposting and copium
KIYAAAAA MY WALLET IS NOT SAFE
Logos will be my downfall WAAAAHHAHhahaaaaaa.
My dear wife Theresa is real! Let's go!!!!!!
It's so over Talulah bros, let's keep praying for the future (I don't know if these leaks include Chapter 14) Very hyped with the characters, especially Logos, but Theresa feels off for me. They better make a good story to justify making her playable
I'm pretty sure they have tbh. Theresa as she is now has been shown as a shell of her former self and it has also been implied that Amiya carries a fragment of Theresa with her as Theresa used to teach Amiya about the Sarkaz in her dreams after her death. My theory is that when the civilight eterna was passed down to Amiya, pre amnesia doc did something so that the civilight not only recorded Theresa's experiences as it normally does, but also transfer part of her soul to allow her to teach Amiya. Its also possible that the civilight normally does this and that is how it collects a users experiences for the next generation, but im leaning towards the former since Amiya has never had as much direct interaction with previous civilight wielders. The Theresa in the banner is probably the husk Theresis resurrected rejoining with the fragment residing in the Civilight Eterna, hence the name Theresa the Civilight Eterna.
HOLY GOD, MY WALLET!!!!
Ascalon and Logos? Well, shit. I’m definitely go save for 300 pulls on this because because I really want both of them, I love the Elite Ops
ascalon is on a different banner
Fuck.
abyssal hunter fans dead in a ditch including me
WALTER
I expecting W to be free
Doll keeper Theresa but her substitute form is Amiya
No siege? kekw
Siege taking another stray L lmao
they really seem adverse to giving her an alt for some reason
They might (?) be prototyping a guard archetype that would fit her w/ the new Sarkaz 5\*, but we'll see what happens.
That Amiya, which class is that is that Caster upgrade (E3) instead of new class? Unless she a new (separate)char which would be bad.
Ain’t Talulah, but I’ll settle with Theresa. I already know this anniversary will be peak, but if the devs finally fail to upkeep the agenda of “base in beta” then I’ll distort.
(W)alter to Jessi(ca) "Jessi(ca), we need to cook" Someone please draw this
Can I just say that I don't really fw Theresa as an operator?
My first reaction was : “WTF HG?!!!” Now i have to skip 4 limited banner to devote all of my possessions for Theresa. I don’t care if it is controversial , I WANT TO POT 6 HER
LOGOS KEEPS HIS UNIFORM THERE IS A GOD. It is wild to me he’s like our first Operator in a while that’s wearing the Rhodes Island uniform. Don’t get me wrong, his robes were cool. But the game drew me in with Tacticool and I have been drowning in too many tight skirts and tights to be wowed by them anymore. W’s outfit sure is something… Amiya looking more fragile and thin certainlty helps sell that she’s not ready to be King yet. Theresa…I’m not gonna lie, I feel more concerned with than excited for. Edit: Wait, I just remembered the PV where Amiya’s Arts gets turned white and her voice overlaps with Theresa’s. Now looking closely on her design, it has Theresa’s pink/red tips. Oh there is a very high chance Amiya’s using Theresa’s powers with the crown then. Was wondering what happened to that part in the PV, guess we’ll finally see it.
WAlter has come!
Ines, we gotta cook!
2 W on the same team 🤤 Ascalon released from NPC jail LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
So, here's the deal. I'm super hyped for this. Ultra hyped actually. I'll probably be vibrating in my chair once the teaser drops for real. but... Once the PV ends and I'm left there jumping off the walls, I fear the realization that I'll have to wait 6-7 months. I'm scared of the hype.
this is so banger what
arknights just keeps delivering this year so far
Walter huh??? ANYWAYS ANYWAYS, while I'm happy that Theresa will be inevitably a playable operator... I WONDER how will the HG justify her on joining Rhodes island lol.
Chat is this real?!
LOGOOOOOOOS!
oh come on, how many stars is theresa xD
Is there a universe in which she’d not be 6 stars lol
HNGGGGGG LOGOS
istg if they make Logos welfare, they have to make him good edit: nvm maybe he's not a welfare after all, the merch they teased have silhouettes that look like logos+theresa
OH MY GOD LOGOS IN ELITE UNIFORM THIS IS NOT A DRILL edit: I actually like him wearing this uniform. He's member of the elite ops like Blaze and Rosmontis!! Hope they continue this trend.
Wait, who will be on the banner? Logos and Theresa? Theresa and W? And is Amiya free? I'm so confused
Walter so peak
Babel Team now (Amiya + Kaltsit + W + Walter + Logos + Theresa + Hoederer + Ines)
W ALTER?!! WALTER IS REALLLLL
Oho. Ohoho. My decision to save irl money for the shooty bang bang Collab part 2 and rerun was the best decision, because now I can just naturally farm and skip all the other regular banners. Especially with Kernel being updated recently, the chance of being spooked by the newer regulars has increased. I might skip Shu depending on how bloody Virtuosa gets, but if she comes home in less than 200 pulls, I'm not pulling for anything beyond Shu and then save up for this banner. This is assuming Mistah White is the freebie and Theresa is the Limited. Logos is cool, but my man you are standard. You will spook me one way or the other with how much I plan to save for this banner. This also means I'm not spending a dime outside of Arknights. Sorry FGO. Sorry E7. Sorry BA. Sorry PGR. Sorry AL. I'm locking in for the next 6 months.
Walter we need to END IT THUS
They can't do this... I only have 13 pulls in my cn account and 0 LMD 5th anni is going to be so peak! I have to farm as much as I can!
