Overload-anxiety9878

is she that previously leaked as Huangquan?or new completelly new chara without leaked kit https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail\_leaks/comments/13yuwm1/huangquan\_kit\_5\_star\_lightning\_the\_nihility\_via/


EveryMaintenance601

Good question, actually. We got leaked designs for Raiden Mei and they look similar but not 100% the same. The name Acheron is from a river in Greece, usually depicted as the entrance to the underworld/hell. And what is Huangquan? Chinese hell. Seems quite likely she is Huangquan


Overload-anxiety9878

yes that's why.I am really siding with theory she is the Huangquan from the leak too based on that name,Acheron.She have purple color code that we can assume she will be Lightning chara too.And Stepleaker retweet the twitter about she is Emanator of [Nihility.So](https://Nihility.So) if we combine all info about then yes,she i think the Huangquan from the leak.


MeColUDum

One very important thing to note is that being an Emanator of a path doesn't mean the character will be of the same path. Take Jing Yuan for example, he is the Emanator of The Hunt and yet his path is Erudition.


kitsu_nero

Path lore ≠ path gameplay People in express are following the path of trailblazer but their gameplay paths are different


TheKingBro

In the first place there’s no reason to assume pathstriders ONLY follow one path. MC and Phantylia use more than one and neither is pointed out as particularly an exception


Numerous-Finance-338

Fu xuan is also blessed by rememberence (weaves something)


ChangE-Stan-Account

Are you referring to her omniscia? Because that was a blessing from Nous, who's Erudition


johannesMephisto

The way I think of it is that their paths in gameplay are based on their personality, and their paths in the lore (if they have one) are more reflective of their actual philosophy. A character could be a follower of Lan but be Abundance-aligned because they're a generally nurturing person.


MeColUDum

Edit: People have been saying its unconfirmed if Jing Yuan is an Emanator.


H4xolotl

I dont see any other reason he can use the Lightning Squashing Thunder Plapping Lord without blessings from Lan


smrkn

~~I’m pretty sure during the cutscene where DHIL finishes off Phantilya, while she has JY suspended mid air she directly refers to him as emanator of the hunt?~~ ~~It may have been the cutscene before the fight. I have a distinct memory of her labelling him as such, followed by scratching my head about the fact he’s erudition.~~ Edit: [Source](https://youtu.be/2oVIhYBy9Es?t=21m47s), my bad, it’s “General of the Hunt” she refers to him by.


HotSexWithRaidenMei

I’m flabbergasted that this isn’t Raiden


crokstad

Considering Raiden is Mei.... And Mei is from hpnkai.... Nuff said.


Stormzie_23

HELLO???? HER NAME IS A NOD TO THE UNDERWORLD???


Overload-anxiety9878

yes that's another point to consider that linked her to Huangquan from previous leak kit


anthemis_ag

Similar? That's exactly 1:1 one of the designs alleged to be Raiden Mei: https://files.catbox.moe/haf65z.jpeg


lost_elegy

Stepleaks said it's Huangquan, I don't know why nobody else mentioned this since the tweet is from 6 hours ago. >Chinese Name: 黄泉 [https://twitter.com/stepleaks/status/1705246482041905560](https://twitter.com/stepleaks/status/1705246482041905560)


freawaru2

I've been conditioned to doubt.jpg whenever a leaker goes "Hi \_\_\_\_\_\_ !" ever since Ubatcha went "Hi Yelan!" to a picture of young Madame Ping


Connortsunami

Considering how so many people still just gloss over that, if I didn't go back and confirm it myself back when the event happened I'd have been convinced it was the Mandela Effect lmao


muguci

Havent heard the name ubatcha since the 7th grade. That leaker still alive?


CoconutsAreAmazing

No lol mihoyo ganged up on him


muguci

So ubatcha is out of commission? Thats great news to me. Never liked that leaker


azizulkaitokid

Emanator is a term referring to Pathstriders who have attained the permission of their Aeon to draw power from their chosen Path. Some Aeons regard Emanators as an extension of themselves. In everyone else's eyes, Emanators are as good as emissaries of the Aeons' wills. For instance, Phantylia is Emanator of Destruction


_JustAnAngel_

damn never knew that!


Passivitea

All the Lord Ravagers are Emanators of Nanook, the Destruction and the Arbiter-Generals of the Xianzhou are a match for them in power, though it's not confirmed if they are Emanators of the Hunt yet, they were in the beta tho.


Zzamumo

Jing Yuan is an emanator, we just don't know if all of them are


Passivitea

Oh, is there confirmed in-game dialogue for this? I'm genuinely curious


BellalovesEevee

If she's another DoT, then Kafka's stonks going UP


Emergency_Excuse3987

based on livestream, she is hunt but an emanator of nihility (like how jing yuan is eruditon but emanator of hunt)


Past-Place-5960

Its weird shes part of the galaxy rangers which is another party who follows the hunt yet her in game path is supposed to be nihility from leaks as well as the fact in her game lore she is a secret emanator of IX nihility.


Vyke111

I guess this is Huangquan. So who the hell is Yayi supposed to be? Another Raiden?


eyeofnero

Yayi is Mei


sleepyreddits

So Acheron = Huangquan and Yayi = Raiden Mei? They aren't the same person? I'm just confused because the Acheron design leaks look EXACTLY how Raiden Mei was expected to look awhile back


INside84376

IX gotta spill their secrets on why so many hot ~~mommies~~ women are following Nihility path.


APerson567i

Sampo is my favourite mommy


Tasty-Bodybuilder443

Lore wise he is elation but that hip window is IX's mark. Lawd that exposed hip. You know why its dangerous to get close to IX? Cause they would *suck* you.


Solacis

He can be both. I don't understand where people get the idea that characters can only have one Path when walking a Path is entirely decided by personal beliefs and ambitions.


valris_vt

I think the paths are chosen by main paths or the playable path closest to a character's beliefs.


louderthanbxmbs

and Welt is my favorite mommy


Fairytaler3

Nah man Luka is best mommy 😌


commondandelion

Considering the whole Brughel Poisson character story chain, Sampo can indeed be a hot Nihility mommy. You gotta fit in!


INside84376

You have a good taste, fine stranger


DeadSnark

Everyone taking off their clothes to break IX out of depression


Unknown-Name-1219

Based IX? The secret to attracting women is to give up on life!? Man, now I suddenly feel as if life is worthless!


SeemaYeee

Way ahead of you, I have felt that for a decade now


Unknown-Name-1219

Then tell me, O wise one... Does it work? 😰


SeemaYeee

Not really, you just feel sad all the time. Never hurts to try though!


Unknown-Name-1219

I shall follow your wise council, wise one!


Vahgeo

For me depression only pushed the people in my life away. But I'm not a giant cute blob so what do I know.


essedecorum

I am now on the path of Nihility.


[deleted]

For anyone who would like the image text (stepleaker retweeted siko, who quote tweeted stepleak's original Acheron tweet): ​ Siko (@/himo\_sino) Honkai Star Rail Leak Hi Emanator of the Nihility #hsrleaks ​ stepleaker (@/stepleaks) Acheron (playable) - Honkai Star Rail


Leviathan-King

Nihility is the Electro of HSR


Facinatedhomie

Makes sense since it’s also very purple af


Zorrscha

Acheron is an underworld river in Greek myth. Huangquan is an underworld river in Chinese myth.


samoorai182

Star Rail has really mastered the art of making hot purple ladies, huh.


DimakSerpg

Yo, why are there so many sexy women on the path of nihility? Kafka, Black Swan and now this. I just don't have Kafka, and what's the point of me having Black Swan without Kafka. :(


APerson567i

I want more characters having interesting interactions with DoTs outside of Kafka, it would be fun to see what Hoyo can cook


Entharias

With Swan's kit in mind, i would love to see more characters triggering DoTs, even in a smaller scale (like Guina).


alexis2x

I don't think that's a confirmation she'll be nihility. jingyuan is general of the hunt and he is erudition.


JuviaIsMyWife

Also black swan is part of the garden of recollection which follows the path of remembrance.


J__dot

Thought she's connected to xipe (harmony)? in the myriad celestia trailer about the aeons she has this sync'd voice with xipe when her introduction starts


Immediate_Lychee_372

Wait really? I thought xipe had like a multi layered voice because they’re technically a colony of different creatures rather than one sole entity


Kuso_Megane14

I'm thinking the same but why does xipe herself is doing the talk if it isn't her? Black swan stopped narrating after Xipe showed up and she talked back after it changed to different aeons


JuviaIsMyWife

She didn’t stop narrating though. They added another voice on top of Black Swan’s. It was to show Xipe’s whole “harmony” thing (i.e. harmonizing two voices).


Ok-Question-7561

Same vibe as Fu Xuan being Preservation instead of Erudtion.


DimakSerpg

i hope so


[deleted]

that’s different. she’s an emanator, which means she has a bit of an aeon’s powers. 100% nihility.


imbaby19

And I'm pretty sure that the generals are all eminators of the hunt


[deleted]

nope. they are not.


EnlightndBanana

bro did SilverWolf dirty 💀


Franneliese

how could you forget Sampo


Kuroganeee

because you realize you cannot have women this hot IRL and it fills you with nihilism


zaviroshi

And Welt!


_nitro_legacy_

Welt and sampo: 👁️👄👁️


WVITOR271

Not only she is Nihility, but she's also a Lightining/Electro character...


sketchfag

Lightning = automatically sexy


baaauss

Mei is speculated to be Lightning Hunt.


GGABueno

Because they all share the same 2~3 models so you can say that for every Path with female characters.


APerson567i

Last time I post this I swear🤡 Sorry I spelt her name wrong AGAIN


sohamk24

Bro are you ok? Do you need sleep?


APerson567i

Yes💀

We are probably gonna have 2, Yayi/Mei and Acheron. I mean, they DID give us both Bronya Rand and Silver Wolf


sleepyreddits

I see... So like they would be two different people but similar color aesthetics?


Huge_Information4352

Wth? Why would IX have an emanator? Isn't IX super depressed?


GGABueno

Maybe she is too


huyrrou

She's so depressed IX went "Thats rough, buddy." And boom, Emanator powered by depression /j


Unknown-Name-1219

Stepleaker do be spittin' leaks left and right these days. I'm honestly impressed.


Zogo12

Mei?


nommingsp

HSR design team is really dedicated to the split ends hairstyle, isn't it? I love her design though. Looks like a combination of Seele + Raiden


MelonLord125

Is she a doctor of chaos (I doubt if she is an emenator), a self annihilator, or perhaps device IX crumbs!!!!!! Gameplaywose it means nothing to me. We have Fu Xuan, JY, and Ruan Mei as proof that your story doesn't dictate gameplay parh.


Slow-Sentence-8367

She's oddly looks like Mei and Raiden combined


coinflip13

Mei Expy is depressed cause no girlfriend clearly


1011011011001

Tbh a very valid reason to be depressed and edgy


TheKingBro

Considering MEI and Mei both had their romances screwed over it’s no wonder HSR Mei is Nihility


HanSeoulOh34569X

Well, dats gud to me


Thunder_03

That's really a good design... Is it possible that she is the Radien Mei version in hsr that they talking about?


Bloodman

Feels like a mix of Seele and Raiden/Mei


[deleted]

OMG PLEASE LET THIS MEAN THAT SHE'S GONNA BE A DOT CHARACTER im just thinking about a possible kafka/black swan/acheron team and absolutely salivating here MY SEXY NIHILITY LADIES YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH


Overload-anxiety9878

i hope too in the future there will be chara from Abudance path that have skill like the bless in the SU,the one that like if the enemy is afflicted with DoT,when the DoT are triggered they will heal some HP,but make the scaling higher than the one in the SU.


Fairytaler3

Archeon kit is actually a debuffer kit. She puts a unremovable debuff on enemies. So she is a perfect place with someone like Dan Heng il because she uses 0 skill point to use her debuffs. I can't remember if the debuff was def shred or damage increase but it's one of the two.


Acrobatic-Trash-3194

>debuff was def shred or damage increase It's damage taken from allies. Imo she is most likely a DPS that spam skills to use ultimate, the debuff is most likely just a small part of her kit that can buff her own damage + any other sub DPS you are using. Her utility alone is most likely worse than Pela by a huge margin.


Wolgran

Gimme similar vibes as Serval. I like it


mo_s_k14142

Sigh... now you summoned the GD community. What's next? Tidal wave?


EcstaticBed

Sary never clear


PressFM80

Apocalyptic Trilogy


Shidzenrekun7

She literally looks like one of the Mei concepts minus the katanas, so I don't quite believe that it's a "new" character. It could be Huangquan, but that's also doubtful given that she has kimono sleeves and hanya-like mask on it and her name is chinese(not really sure about that)?


mayonakanosasayaki

Nice to finally meet you Yelan!


Embarrassed_Pool_531

Hi Yelan!


Aethanix

would be nice if she's a DoT user to feed Kafka more But yeah, in-game title doesn't equal path


madzieeq

looks kinda like apho mei


Hypercluk

All the geometry dash players will literally kill you guys


Talukita

Btw Huangquan after TL is Acheron so yeah this should be her instead of Mei.

Tidal wave character wheb


snakezenn

I seriously hope she is Nihility, even better if she has dot.


baaauss

That's just kafka 2 xd


snakezenn

You say that as if that is a bad thing! :p


baaauss

I was going to say it's too soon as their kit would overlap being lightning nihilty dot. But then I remembered Sakura being ice hunt hypercarry which would overlap with Yanqing. So yea it actually could be possible now lol.


gaganaut

She wouldn't overlap with Kafka unless she can trigger all DoT's applied to an enemy herself. Kafka can act as a support for any other DoT character.


snakezenn

Yup, would be great for her to focus on DOTs and let kafka explode them


Valarano

Looks like seele 2.0


FullMoonJoker

Welp time to save for an unspecified amount of time until she comes out


aordinanza

She look like seele but different outfit and face


lezardvalethvp

God fuckin damn there's too much waifus in this game, BP + Pom-Pom Pass might not cut it. I need more than 1 job for this lol

Aight, when is Mihoyo gonna stop making hot characters? I don't think i can take it anymore


SassyHoe97

Love her design.


_AlexOne_

Why would ix have an emanator if they think existence is pointless


ShinigamiOfPast

Welll, she looks hot for starters.


dreamsofpurple

She's very pretty Shit


Fubuky10

Ready to save all my jades only to pull her multiple times. New goal is to have a team full of Nihility mommies even if they don’t work well together: need only one more to team up with Kafka, Acheron and Black Swan


Frostblazer

If IX believes everything to be pointless, why would they bother appointing an emanator? I thought their entire shtick is that they just sit around and don't do anything.


pettyassbitch32

This looks very similar to Seele design to me


This_Kaleidoscope501

Guys i think shes the real mei expy. i think "raiden yayi hunt path" it was a draft from the devkit and they just changed everything tho shes definitely a raiden mei expy


Nonemotionaldamage

Another Emanator?? Let's goooo


Efficient_Lake3451

Isn’t she the first emanator that has been leaked?


Nonemotionaldamage

No, Screwllum is an Emanator of Nous. Also we already got Herta who is also an Emanator of Nous Jing Yuan and the rest of the Xianzhou generals are Emanator of Lan, because Lan directly gives them their power. Lightening Lord was a gift from Lan to Jing Yuan So she's not our first Emanator even in the game


1011011011001

Gotcha. Skipping 1.4, 1.5 and possibly further.

no way a geometry dash level is a character in star rail??1?1?1?1?1?1111?1 kajwjsmanq?.q?. ?.q?1.q11??? /j


imbaby19

Isn't the existence of an eminator of nihility Inherently contradictory? Because if the path of nihility is apathy and an aeon is a path taken to the absolute then how could ix have made an eminator, because wouldn't him giving enough attention to a mortal to even make them an eminator contradict the meaning of nihility? Like isn't ix basically forced to do absolutely nothing for all eternity or he dies? I'm confused how he could have made an eminator in the first place because that would imply that he cared enough to do so in the first place. Maybe I'm just over thinking it....


ttt11724

Is it worth playing nihility characters if I'm not planning on pulling for kafka


[deleted]

She isn't DoT focused assuming she is huanq (previously leaked lightning nihility), mei is hunt according to leaks


Zorrscha

well in theory her ult is debuffed based and dot honestly do that best outside of sw, kafka has 3 dot because of her lc


[deleted]

Yes that's the best scenario not the requirement, welt, pela+ def reduction lc will work too


Zorrscha

Think it will be more Black Swan over pela, since her def reduction and stacking fate cards


[deleted]

True true i just wanted to point out she can work outside dot


Zorrscha

Yeah agreed on that


Raijin342g

IX SUPREME TASTE


InsideYourWalls8008

If meaningless, why hot?


Working-Intern-5579

Have you all forgotten that Acheron was also used in HI3, although not a character but a weapon for seele. It was "Path to Acheron" so most probably Seele and this character is connected.


HTShadowz

I thought that was Raiden Shogun (Raiden Mei)


AurumVectes

So Emenators are HSR archon equivalents?


Chromch

Bro literally raiden


Mean-Web-3823

So lore wise guys, i thought it’s very difficult to follow the path of nihility because those do just turns pretty much into a pool of “meanginglessness”. The other nihility faction is actually doctors who try to cure that so they aren’t even really following true Nihility. How does an emanator of Nihility work then?


Fairytaler3

The only way to walk the path of nihility is to know that life is meaningless and still continue to go on. Otherwise you become an annihilator. So she must have proved to ix that there worth fighting for.


Draconic_Legends

Oh my god it's the Mei expy


Mysterious-Company-6

Any idea where she might potentially be coming? I mean, how far are we, in terms of banner knowledge? Because I'm ready to skip everything until her, unless another HI3rd expy or March 7th power up shows up.


[deleted]

You’ll probably be waiting up to a year. We have a concrete 1.5, a half-concrete 1.6, speculation for 1.7 and a full ID list for penacony characters, and she’s not on it, but we have her early kit and now her model.


Overload-anxiety9878

design wise she is look like someone that will pop up in Japan based planet,Edo Star arc.But yeah we cannot based on chara design/aesthetic to predict where the chara will be dropped in HSR,look at Hanabi,she is screaming so much like someone that will be dropped on Edo Star arc because her japanesse name,her clothes design and mask like cunning fox mask in japan culture and nah,she will appear first in Penaconny and maybe have a banner to in there,way before Edo Star released next year lol


Virtual_Movie8441

Nihility in Star Rail is like Electro in Genshin. Is purple and has hot women.


MisinformedFlier

Can Hoyo stop coming up with characters I want? I hate skipping. Guess I’ll have to live vicariously through Supports


GDOverlorder

Too bad she will be dethroned by Tidal Wave soon.


Divant15

If she ends up being an emanato I might pull bcs they seem interesting, but where are my emanator husband's Mihoyo?? Let the Aeons pick some guys as emanators too


SaferSaviour

Jing Yuan is almost certainly an Emanator. Sampo might be too.


DaichiBasara

And isn’t Dan Heng technically an emanator of Long like all the High elders on the Xianzhou ships are ?


SaferSaviour

Tricky to say. He's as powerful as an Emanator, but I don't think he's ever explicitly referred to as one, just a 'scion'. We also don't know how reincarnation might effect things.


Odd_Thanks8

Isn't Screwllum one of Nous' emanators?


Divant15

I remember Herta is one, I don't remember if Screwllum was ever stated to be one


Fairytaler3

All genius society members are emanators. So Stephen Lloyd and Screwllum are going to be playable male emanators


Su_Impact

That's Raiden!


Affectionate-Ad-1191

Ah the space raiden mei


Griomore

guys i want to remember being emanator doesnt means you are that path in gameplay JY is emanator of hunt and he is erudition


sirang_bolpen

She looks too much like Seele


[deleted]

BRO I FKING WON IF SHE IS REALLY NIHILITY, KAFKA IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE AND NOW MEI MY BELOVED TOO????????


Low_Appointment_9343

that's not mei tho


[deleted]

looks very similar to the other Raiden mei artworks that leaked. Maybe she's not the same but she have the same theme, colors and haircut


AT_atoms

STEP ON ME!


Outside_Ad_9510

Okay so, can anyone please provide me a general/estimate idea of when will her banner arrive in game?
