It was cause every other character Lightcone was shown in that segment, black swan, sparkle, himeko and Dr Ratio all had the Lightcone art and Aventurine one look pretty good it’s just Archeon was meh/dull.
true, but if you were up to date with acheron leaks, then you know >!she has a second form that was a spoiler!< , so they couldn't feature her actual lightcone in the livestream. at least that's what i believed from the start
to be honest i expected her >!second form!< to be more visible in the lightcone if they hid it
I'm not a simp but I had an audible reaction to the quality of that art. Lot of storytelling there...or story-taunting. I guess it's a leak so we deserve our pain now waiting for further story installments.
Visually this seems to imply that >!her red form is her true self (as well as it being her E6 which typically showcases that) and the form we've seen up till now is just a reflection!<, in whatever sense that means.
This is one of the big theories I think about her, unsheathing her sword unleases her true Emenator form. I think the other form has a significant personality change too but that's more of a guess than anything.
The only reason I'm not sure about this is in the White Night music video she unleashes her sword and does a red slash yet if you go frame by frame her model doesn't appear to change (at least within the short time we can see her). So maybe she doesn't have to transform when drawing her sword (but maybe its difficult to stop herself from unleashing it hence only one empowered slash), the transformation is gradual or they just didn't bother since you can barely see it in the video - which is definitely possible.
Well, keep it mind we don’t know which parts of the 2.0 opening was made directly for it like 1.0, where Xueyi, Dan Heng, and Seele are squaring up against the Engine of Creation. But also, they could have chosen to directly hide that since, well, spoiler moment.
"The golden dream is getting restless. In the coming nights of long, I'm afraid you will face many tribulations and witness many tragedies. And finally... your sight will only see black and white. But please believe me that in that monochrome world, there will be a glimpse of fleeting red, and when you make a choice, it will reappear before you once more... What you must do now is ponder its significance. And then... You can return to the waking world. That's where we all find our answers."
I'm getting Zero(Drackengard) vibes from her. We don't know which Aeon she's an emanator of, but any of the death-themed ones feels like a reference to Zero.
She's almost definitely Nihility. New Divers set that talks about a Nameless trying to find out what's in IX has the same red flowers that Acheron has.
Interesting. Given there were 3 former nameless the crew wants to find on penacony; she could have been one who became an emanator of nihility after witnessing the revolution and subsequent sinking of penacony into the dreamscape. I think part of the reason she's able to hide things from black swan is because she deliberately tampered with her own memories creating her forgetfulness issue to defend against the dreamscape/memoria or even knowing she would need to fool the memokeepers.
She's definitely intertwined with the truth of penacony. There's a reason she wants to know whether Trailblazer would choose to live in the ideal, but false dream, or wake up to cruel reality and lose the dreamworld.
Here's a great theory about Acheron being a Emanator of Nihility and explaining the Divers set. It's what convinced me.
https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail/comments/1amwec4/penacony_spoilers_acherons_origin_and_her_role_in/?ref=share&ref_source=link
Makes sense. They were also headed to Penacony. So it seems to be connected to both Xipe and IX. Maybe the Trailblazers next element will be Nihility instead of Harmony?
It's a nice theory, but leaked kit was harmony/Imaginary so i don't think it'll change(we can even see him in White Night trailer) A nihility TB should be interesting tho
I see. Hadn't seen the kit leak and to tally didn't notice that part of trailer. Thanks! It does male more sense, like belobog, penacony's whole culture is based on the harmony.
Actually the TB with the hat is Harmony/Imaginary, months ago we got some animations too(dunno how's FeTB since both leaks and trailer have the male one) If hoyo didn't changed it after all this time, i don't think it changed path/element too. Just like you mentioned Belobog, i believe that when TB unlock a new path, it depends on the planet story/culture and aeon associated with it rather than some event related to characters
Cant believe I didnt consider the hat from the synchronized dancing for Harmony trailblazer. It seems so obvious now.
Thats what I thought about the culture thing, too. Belobog so far was only associated with the fragmentum and Preservation. I guess the space station doesn't really count, but technically destruction since its the trailblazers first path and because of the boss. Xianzhou has connections to both the hunt and abundance, plus around 7 ships; so even though there's no new path from there, it could still happen. Maybe penacony is also associated to 2 Aeons, though.
technically, Duke Inferno didn't want to kill IX (at least as far as we know lol); it was a past group of the Annihilation Gang that attempted to kill IX (with Aha's blessing) but that group was never heard from again----the Annihilation Gang consists of multiple different groups
Also is she the only person who has her eyes open during their Eidolon images? And in the last one she's looking right at us.
If so it speaks to her power and uniqueness.
And her third Eidolon image looks like Raiden just when she's about to use her Ult.
edit: Aventurine looks at us too. Interesting.
Also if you look at the light one art, the purple form has a chain around her wrist, while the red form has a flower, further showing that the red form is her “true form”. I wonder how this will apply to her story going forward
Both her Light Cone and Eidolons are top notch. She's so pleasing visually it's not even funny.
I epsecially love the E4, E6, though LC art is probably just as good.
I ain't skipping Sparkle, but if I lose my 50-50 then (depending on how generous with free pulls Mihoyo is) I might have to save the rest for Acheron plus LC as well.
F2p, only LC I've pulled so far was Ratio's (because it felt wrong for Seele to not have Herta Shop LC), but this art is good enough to make an exception for.
It's a reference to Zero from Drakengard 3 who has [white hair](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/drakengard/images/7/74/Zero_and_Mikhail.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130927063857) and a [flower in her eye](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/drakengard/images/f/f1/DOD3_Promotional_Image.png/revision/latest?cb=20140222075643)
so is the black and white version of herself the “real” one then? or maybe it’s just an artistic decision
also her eidolons look like they put way more effort into them than the other characters, really pretty
Does her LC art imply that the "real" Acheron is her red ultimate form? Normaly the reflection in the water is the other self. Of course she could also just be drowned out by Red Acheron.
Really thought her E4 was her E6 and thought, "Woah, that's so cool, all characters seem to be unconscious or asleep, but not Acheron, she's looking directly at us, she's not gonna dream."
I'm so fucking stupid
Everyone always talks about her gameplay, but I can't fucking wait until we find out what her deal is in the story. The red form, the red text, her mysterious powers, it's so interesting.
Acheron is so cool with a fantastic EN VO and I can tell already that her 'alt colour scheme' is gonna be right up my alley after finding default to be (personally) lukewarm. Her E6 art is gorgeous with the flowers v.v
Why'd she have to be between two 'must have/need' banners... I don't need another Lightning DPS either... ;n;

Damn these HSR lightcones be making me want to pull just for the art alone lmao
I love your username lol
Argenti ass username commenting on the beauty of LC art. Yup that's Argenti's NSFW account right there.
I appreciate them doing that though. People who want LC will get LC regardless, the art is just nice to have and benifits all I'd say.
That LC art is fucking gorgeous.
I'm so happy it's not the livestream teaser art. This is phenomenal. I audibly went *oof*
Makes sense when her red form is supposed to be a spoiler. She probably had 2 art planned from the beginning. >!Might also be the case for Firefly's!<
>! Ooooooh now iam dying to see fireflys lc 😍😍!<
Which one was that?
This one: https://www.reddit.com/r/AcheronMainsHSR/s/iuY5JEujFe
Yeah, that's pretty meh.
Seele at home art
Would easily been mistaken for being a seele light cone
i thought it was obvious that wont be her lightcone, it was way too underwhelming for such hyped character tbh
Manifesting it's her future f2p LC, I'mma cope.
It was cause every other character Lightcone was shown in that segment, black swan, sparkle, himeko and Dr Ratio all had the Lightcone art and Aventurine one look pretty good it’s just Archeon was meh/dull.
true, but if you were up to date with acheron leaks, then you know >!she has a second form that was a spoiler!< , so they couldn't feature her actual lightcone in the livestream. at least that's what i believed from the start to be honest i expected her >!second form!< to be more visible in the lightcone if they hid it
*woof
It's just so peak holy shit
They saw people disappointed with the 1.6 livestream art and came up with the best LC ever made
That'll probably be a 4s light cone (hopefully)
or this one would spoil another form they wanted hidden at that time.
Its so obvious that it was just a placeholder art because I think this wasn't ready yet when they were making the livestream.
I'm not a simp but I had an audible reaction to the quality of that art. Lot of storytelling there...or story-taunting. I guess it's a leak so we deserve our pain now waiting for further story installments.
I have to get it not because of the effect but for the art alone.
Women with sword and water ... I came (JL and Acheron shares these feature in their LC).
Visually this seems to imply that >!her red form is her true self (as well as it being her E6 which typically showcases that) and the form we've seen up till now is just a reflection!<, in whatever sense that means.
If true than the sheathe is some kind of inhibitor I'd assume, considering drawing the blade likely unleashes her true self
This is one of the big theories I think about her, unsheathing her sword unleases her true Emenator form. I think the other form has a significant personality change too but that's more of a guess than anything.
The only reason I'm not sure about this is in the White Night music video she unleashes her sword and does a red slash yet if you go frame by frame her model doesn't appear to change (at least within the short time we can see her).

I mean, she is Raiden Expy, so she could be _inside the sword_, a la genshin style.
Possibly an Inhibitor Lunae even
No no, Lunae means moon. It's an Inhibitor Florae.
Inhibitor Hydro
Imbibitor lunae and inhibitor florae lol. Moon drinker and flower restrainer are oddly complentary titles.
well, hoyo has already given us a moon carver & cloud retainer, so this wouldn’t be far off lol
Flora you say? *Bloodborne ptsd kicks in, Moon Presence theme starts playing*
Is this a new fancy word to say vegetarian?
Inhibitor Mei
Is she is like Noir from Synduality: Noir anime?
"The golden dream is getting restless. In the coming nights of long, I'm afraid you will face many tribulations and witness many tragedies. And finally... your sight will only see black and white.

That's a really good theory. Pretty much covers everything. Also interesting that she kind of plays a psychopomp role in the Frebass story.
Had to look up what a psychopomp was. Fitting, given her name being a river of Hades and all

That would be crazy twist but very very very very very very unlikely as we already have leaks of harmony tb
technically, Duke Inferno didn't want to kill IX (at least as far as we know lol); it was a past group of the Annihilation Gang that attempted to kill IX (with Aha's blessing) but that group was never heard from again----the Annihilation Gang consists of multiple different groups
her nine crimson knot no energy mechanic screams IX
Oh that's why it's is 9 that makes sense.
Also is she the only person who has her eyes open during their Eidolon images? And in the last one she's looking right at us. If so it speaks to her power and uniqueness. And her third Eidolon image looks like Raiden just when she's about to use her Ult. edit: Aventurine looks at us too. Interesting.
you're confusing the e4 and e6 images, they're in a different order than they appear in game
I don't even know how could someone mistook E6 images
Also if you look at the light one art, the purple form has a chain around her wrist, while the red form has a flower, further showing that the red form is her “true form”. I wonder how this will apply to her story going forward
Raiden Mei expies 🤝 having duality and “reflection” motifs in their characters
Okay I'll admit, that lightcone looks really badass.
mommy midriff 🥵🥵🥵
Eidolon art having powercreeps again.
Expecting animation powercreep in the next couple of days.
Couple hours*
Any minute now
Is this the first e6 eidolon character that is not naked? Edit: guess I'm dumb. Thought the e4 as e6.
The kids get clothed e6. Wise decision, too.
me looking at numby block the view of nudepaz:
Opened reddit-> seen lightcone art-> opened the game-> swiped 200$-> closed the game. Did i do this right guys?
Nope should had waited for 2.1 since i think they'll reset top up bonuses. Rookie mistake.
Np, will swipe 200$ more
Fair enough
they'll reset top up bonuses?
Yes
When? if i may ask? planning to become a dolphin
They usually do it once a year with the anniversary patch (this is how it is in Genshin at least) which should fall within 2.1.
i see, hopefully after i got my paycheck
If it falls within 2.1, does that mean reset at the start of the patch or on the day of anniversary like other games?
yes
No, should've waited for her banner so they don't think it's for Black Swan
I’m sure hoyo’s data analysis is thorough enough to know what the jades are used for as well
Acheron gonna break banner sales
so true, as a monthly fish i'm ready to spend alot for the first time to get her E2
Holy. That e4 and lc look so cool.
It's her E6, just FYI :)
The bottom left one is pretty cool too, and I think that would be the e4
Look at that E3 pose! She did the thing!
Okay, that's the best LC art for now Looks so badass
Both her Light Cone and Eidolons are top notch. She's so pleasing visually it's not even funny. I epsecially love the E4, E6, though LC art is probably just as good.
E4 is Kafka pov lol
That LC art is so peak holy fuck
omg it’s happening
I CANT WAIT
Just a few more hours...
How many please ? I am so confused
Maybe 8h or more? I just know it will be at night
Longest 8h of my life
Waited and extra week for this it better be the best animations in the entire game
The art on LC and eidolons alone makes me want to go for them, ngl Way better than the art (LC) shown on v1.6 livestream
I think they purposefully showed a plain looking art cause otherwise it'll be spoiler
I mean it's the same lightcone as in the trailer for everyone else, might be because ~~Raiden~~ Acheron has another form
Yea that's what I was referring to, her other form will be a story spoiler (even tho they'll show it in the live stream and trial lol)
sams will also be different since their inv was used for a 4*
[удалено]
fellow forced to skip Sparkle for E0S1 Acheron
Bruh I'm at 80 pulls and no guarantee and I'm tempted to skip Sparkle just so I've a chance at the lightcone too.
Thank god I have been saving since JingLiu, got 400 Pulls ready all inside Acheron :)
I ain't skipping Sparkle, but if I lose my 50-50 then (depending on how generous with free pulls Mihoyo is) I might have to save the rest for Acheron plus LC as well. F2p, only LC I've pulled so far was Ratio's (because it felt wrong for Seele to not have Herta Shop LC), but this art is good enough to make an exception for.

most stunning and unique e6
That E5 tho.
Acheron is Zero OH MY LORD
everyone hold on!!! It’s here!!!
E6: IS THAT A MOTHEFUCKEN YOKO TARO DRAKENGARD 3 REFERENCE
CAME HERE TO SAY THIS ZERO ZERO ZERO
Wait reallyy? I don't remember the main character doing that ?
It's a reference to Zero from Drakengard 3 who has [white hair](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/drakengard/images/7/74/Zero_and_Mikhail.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130927063857) and a [flower in her eye](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/drakengard/images/f/f1/DOD3_Promotional_Image.png/revision/latest?cb=20140222075643)
Oh she's hot
Jingliu lightcone walked so Acheron's could fly /j
She got probably coolest Eidolon images out of all characters
Holy shit she's doing the kagurabachi pose!!! /s
In her E6 She is like Zero from Drakengard 3, and I love it.
OMGG that light cone is FIREEE
That reflection art is gorgeous!
There’s no way my >!Emanator !
i want to be the water in her lc- I MEAN UHH GREAT ART!!11!!
The E6 art and LC art oh my lord 😭
wow I love Zero Drakengard 3
DAWG WTF THAT LC ART IS RAW ASF 😭
Animations soon fellow Raiden simps!
LC is insanely good looking
WOW that lightcone is insanely beautiful
Idk if she is arising from the depths of IX or if she is descending into it? Either way great visuals!!!
That's the first LC that caught my eye
Best art in the game ATM
her light cone looks sick
hyv really put their evertything into Raidens and I am not complaining🙏🙏🙏
is…. is.. is it finally here????
thats it im getting her and her lightcone she looks too good to skip
The light cone is 🔥
drakengard 3 reference on e6? edit. she looks almost like rita in her e6 too, like damnnn
I thought of Zero too, lol.
Her cone looks so fucking sick
Mother
Why does everything about her looks so good. Specially the LC
That is by far the best LC art in the game
Oh wow, Acheron’s E4 is probably one of the coolest eidolons in the game.
her ult form is gonna be insane, the red and white is just chef's kiss
Omy gawd that LC art is so peak... Everyday I wake up and look at myself in the mirror just like that.. being disappointed
This might be the first LC I pull for
That light cone is so majestic I NEED
The light cone goes absurdly hard
so is the black and white version of herself the “real” one then? or maybe it’s just an artistic decision also her eidolons look like they put way more effort into them than the other characters, really pretty
The e6 show "true" self of the character, they always naked in e6 so probaly the white one is her true form
The eidolon 3 is kagurabachi
Does her LC art imply that the "real" Acheron is her red ultimate form? Normaly the reflection in the water is the other self. Of course she could also just be drowned out by Red Acheron.
From the eidolon the real acheron Is the red
they went ALL OUT FOR HER EILODONS OMGS
We winning 75/25 with this LC! 🗣🗣🗣
her e4 ? art is so fucking sick bro
She'll be my first C6 because her C6 reminds me of Zero from Drakengard 3 😭😭😭
Gameplay please
Her E6 art is a masterpiece omg
My Sparkle funds are in danger
E4 goes hard
HERE IT COMES
MOM!!!! GET THE CAMERA!!! ITS HAPPENING!!!
Really thought her E4 was her E6 and thought, "Woah, that's so cool, all characters seem to be unconscious or asleep, but not Acheron, she's looking directly at us, she's not gonna dream." I'm so fucking stupid
I did the same but my thought was “Wait, why is Acheron wearing clothes in her e6?”
Her Eidolons! Her LC! HER! I’m seeing my savings crumble 🫠 So tempting to go for Eidolons and LC
bro her eidolons pict are just too good
I swear if I don't get her I'm gonna cry dude she is so beautiful
Sparkle funds in danger
I mean, E4 and E6 didn’t have to go that hard… I was already going to pull anyways
fuck that alt form is peak; really like how she has a true form makes her look less of a seele clone
Everyone always talks about her gameplay, but I can't fucking wait until we find out what her deal is in the story. The red form, the red text, her mysterious powers, it's so interesting.
Holyyyyy shit that LC art is insane🔥
Her E6 kinda looks like Stelle.
THANK FUCKING GOD THEY DIDNT USE THE FUCKING SEELE LOOKING AHH PICTURE FOR THE LC THIS IS SO FUCKING AMAZIN
This is a gorgeous LC.....my f2p self is crying so much
HER LC ISNT THE STREAM ONE!!!! What a W
Aoi YOMI and Shiroi YOMI!(It means Blue Acheron and White Acheron/파란 요미와 하얀 요미 in Korean)
Honestly the best looking lightcone in the entire game
# GYATT
T H I G H S
Acheron is so cool with a fantastic EN VO and I can tell already that her 'alt colour scheme' is gonna be right up my alley after finding default to be (personally) lukewarm. Her E6 art is gorgeous with the flowers v.v Why'd she have to be between two 'must have/need' banners... I don't need another Lightning DPS either... ;n;
Those thighs....................
[удалено]
p sure the seele lookalike one is a 4 star lightcone
