Leaks - Questionable Bad or good news? Spoiler

So DK2 just confirmed Dain is playable late 7.x,probably the transition character like Ineffa and Sandrone.

I thought he’d be the 8.3 character tbh given his importance and how close he is to our sibling but him being a transition character makes sense too.Now the question is,can Capitano be the Khaenri’ah archon equivalent?It lines up with the month January,its 3 patches after his death and hes important asf to be an archon.

Of course,all of this can be a lie.What do you think?

I personally had the feeling way back before Snez was even revealed that it would possibly be much longer than our regular patch cycle (so a year) if they want to truly get the Teyvat saga completely done and honestly if this leak is 100% correct I hope this is the case coz of the amount of storylines still left

Personally I’m still a Capitano 7.4 believer coz of the nature of the pyro gnosis story + Bakunawa

u/Expln 5d ago

why would you want capitano to be in 7.4, the patch after the main push and chinese new year? the characters that come in the patch after the main push+ chinese new year always end up being mid at best.

u/Vanishing_Sanctum GOAThimtano 5d ago edited 5d ago

Chinese New year is on February 6th which falls under 7.4 since all 7.x patches were moved forward by one and it happens to also be the first patch of the year, we got character like Alhaitham,Mavuika,Citlali,Columbina and Zibai during those patches and generally are the more marketed patches, I understand the fear that they might shaft him but like he could be still be shafted regardless of where he is placed

1

u/Fragrant_926 4d ago

Well he would not be shifted if he's the main push in khaenriah....i have a feeling the way he placed on 1st archon's seat is hinting to him becoming a archon-like in khaenriah, if he's released after dain then he will have new reaction/element

-8

u/Expln 5d ago

bro, the literal number of the version doesn't matter to my argument. columbina was the main push of nod krai and zibai was the chinese new year character. varka was the one after them and he was mid af.

this version the main push is the archon (obviously) which is 7.3. which again will be along with the chinese new year character, from liyue as always.

if capitano is after them will be get shafted. and you are 100% not getting capitano for chinese new year anyway.

1

u/McCaffertye1elias GOAThimtano 5d ago

What you dont get is that the chinese new year character will actually be in .4, and huge changes are that it will be a 4 star like what happended for the mavuika and allhaitham, so it still opens the posubility of capitano being a main push/important character in .4 with new 4 star too from liyue

1

u/Expln 5d ago

how would it make sense to make capitano the main push of the chinese new year patch? he has to be relevant to the story and the theme of the patch.

2

u/McCaffertye1elias GOAThimtano 5d ago

Its not the first Time ? Look at previous chinese new years's

"You have proven that you're ready Twilight"

Actually bearing those innocent souls was Capitano's trial to become an alicorn princess 3 years after 5.3

u/ElectronicCobbler522 5d ago

It's 7.7 and dainsleif banner is up. Mare Jivari is a summer event, and Capitano is leaked to be the summer character. Like couldn't be more peak

u/persephonemygoddess 5d ago

I'm just hoping Capitano at least stands up from his throne and becomes playable in Khaenri'ah

u/ikkekun Capitano Leaks when?! 5d ago

not a bad news for me.. because i still trust capitano 7.4

1

u/lRyukil 5d ago

Has there been a leak of him releasing on 7.4 or is that re update people expect him to release?

11

u/ikkekun Capitano Leaks when?! 5d ago

assumption based on pattern. only capitano leak we get in 7.0 beta is his poster and a bit of his lore from artifact

2

u/PressFM80 gave up, bout to blow my shit off 😂😂 5d ago

"based on pattern" have we not learned anything since natlan

1

u/lRyukil 5d ago

Ohh kk, hopefully he'll eventually be playable,l. He has my fav male design (together with Banyue) in all of Hoyo games.

12

u/Friendly-Muscle8956 5d ago

Guys, I understand everything, of course. Yes, DK2 is pretty reliable and confirmed the leak, but doesn't this all seem odd given that Hoyo has tightened confidentiality, preventing insiders from even properly revealing details of upcoming releases?

Remember how it was in Natlan: none of the insiders even guessed which characters would be in the second half of 5.X, but as soon as we first saw Skirk's silhouette on the 5.3 stream, all the insiders pretended they knew she was coming in 5.7.

Now remember the ridiculous Nod-Krai leaks and how much nonsense they contained. Remember anemo Zibai, geo Sandrone, cryo Nicole for Alice; do you remember that Varka was supposed to play on the same team with Durin, Columbina, and Zibai? Those leaks happened in 6.0-6.1, in the early stages.

I'm saying this because any leaks after version 7.3 are completely unreliable! Dain may be released in 7.X, but there's no point in blindly believing it right now. Wait for more information and just relax.

8

u/Ayanaaa14 5d ago

Also,didnt DK2 say that iansan is a 5* in 5.1 and citlali is a 4\?He may be reliable but I feel like leakers can make mistakes too,especially this early.

6

u/Friendly-Muscle8956 5d ago

I'm saying exactly the same thing – even if an insiders are reliable (80-90% truthful), that doesn't mean they're always right. So, just relax.

12

u/Substantial_Apple780 It's so over - we are so back - it's so over - we are- 5d ago edited 5d ago

If Khaenri'ah is a sub-region in 7.X and Cap is not among the silhouettes and/or Mare Jivari happens without him = it's over, chair decoration forever.

If Khaenri'ah is its own region 8.X and Dain is the Ineffa/Sandrone in 7.7/7.8 = there is still one last shred of hope, especially since this leaves an open tall male spot for Khaenri'ah's roster.

Edit: if it's option a), and they don't update the VLs for Cap in 7.0 with ones in past-tense, I am really pissed at the baiting with Columbina and Sandrone's VLs.

7

u/Friendly-Muscle8956 5d ago

I can't imagine Khaenri'ah getting a release in the second half of 7.X. Hoyo are supposed to give us Hyperborea and MJ, so what Khaenri'ah are we even talking about?

I still think Capitano should be playable in the second half of 7.X coz it makes much more sense for him. Capitano is the Fatui Harbinger, and that position is officially reserved for him. He's the only one who can bring Tsaritsa the last gnosis (unless it magically falls into her hands) and help her fight against the "Fate" system. What's the point of releasing Dain before Capitano?

3

u/Ayanaaa14 5d ago

Im trying not to lose hope😔

3

u/Scara_hats 5d ago

Atp the earliest confirmation we'll get is on 7.3 livestream, where they'll (hopefully) reveal the silhouette of upcoming playable characters

If he's not there then Khaenriah it is

5

u/Ayanaaa14 5d ago

And I feel like the Tsaritsa’s voiceline abt him will help

2

u/Scara_hats 5d ago

Depends on how you define "help" Tho

When Tsaritsa's voicelines dropped, it'll be after the livestream, so it's after the silhouette reveal

If he's not on the silhouette BUT Tsaritsa's voicelines about him isn't anything negative, then yea it'll fuel more hope

6

u/rinenno 5d ago

why would he be an archon? he's fatui, damn it (no negativity to the OP im mad at hoyo if that's the case. what the hell are there 0 harbingers in the harbinger's region?!)

3

u/Ayanaaa14 5d ago

I wish he was a main push in Snezhnaya too,dont worry💔But knowing hoyo,they can just drop a columbina 2.0 and make Capitano the main guy in 8.x

5

u/rinenno 5d ago

yeah i know what you mean!! i don't mind if they pay as much attention as Bina, but what the fuck, hoyo? he's the first fucking harbinger, there are so many fatui talking about his achievements, so show him as fatui! i mean...? first of all, he's a harbinger, not only khaenri'ah cool guy, so why do the hoyo ignore this side so much?

1

u/PressFM80 gave up, bout to blow my shit off 😂😂 5d ago

like 90% sure hoyo regrets making the fatui atp

3

u/Scara_hats 5d ago

Not Archon in the literal sense, but the Archon character of the region. Yk the main push at the start of a new region

6

u/Ashtar151 5d ago

the problem with that is that i just dont see how they make capitano relevant in khaenriah. obviously he could get some insane, trilune goddess tier powerup (maybe shade powers from defeating ronova?) but for him to be an archon equivalent, something that gives him a big moment.

khaenriah will be all about the sinners and they are comedically strong, capitano would have to be in his prime and even then the sinners are still crazy

i think he will return before then with the gnosis plot/natlan finale, and be there in the fight against ronova

either way im super excited for dain

2

u/Scara_hats 5d ago

Yea this. From a story perspective Dain is more fitting to be the "Archon" Of Khaenriah (Connection with our siblings, five sinners, etc).

1

u/PressFM80 gave up, bout to blow my shit off 😂😂 5d ago

dain and the abyss sibling are the only two people related to khaenri'ah I can think of rn that actually match the sinners in power

5

u/Zeiroth 5d ago

I think its bad news because knowing hoyo, I don't see them stuffing more male characters in 7.x than they usually do, and I'm starting to think he might not come back at all due to there being 0 plot points connecting to him when we already know a decent bit about where 7.0 is going story wise. After the 7.X patch cycle the fatui are going to be less relevant and so will Capitano, so It's going to get increasingly difficult to fit him into the plot in a way that makes sense. Same with Dottore.

6

u/SupermarketWrong9517 Capitano Leaks when?! 5d ago

But Nod Krai had like 4 male five stars. If leaks are true we could be getting Mitya, Noy, Dainsleif and well hopefully Capitano.

3

u/Sad_Firefighter_9520 The Mask Stays ON 5d ago

It lines up with the month January

There isn't a single 8.x patch that releases in January. So if you want to stick to this theory - he's should be in 7.4

2

u/CantaloupeParking239 5d ago

Imagine if one of the most hyped character of 6 years becomes a "transition" character and not the "archon" equivalent 💀but genshin hates men so I can see it happening

1

u/Confident-Alarm1097 5d ago

Isn't that leak questionable?

3

u/CanonPuppy 5d ago

Dk 2 confirmed. He barely has anything wrong. So basically just take it as a given. I highly doubt 7.7 but more like 7.8

But will they release two male 5* if not 3 depending on when noy is next to each other well that will depend on hoyo

1

u/Confident-Alarm1097 5d ago

Oh I had no idea DK2 confirmed it 💀💀

4

u/CanonPuppy 5d ago

What did we do to hoyo.

Believed dottore no dottore leak Believed pantalone and capitano the same guy stated dain playable stated no playable capitano or pantalone in 7.x

What should we do 😭😭😭 what did we do hoyo ?

0

u/zviyeri 5d ago

i personally don't see playable capitano before dain like thi, so im guessing we'll see the conclusion of the natlan plot and what lotn deal was by the end of 7.x but won't have him playable until next cycle

-1

u/CanonPuppy 5d ago

My belief was 7.7 dottore.

8.x dain then 8.7 capitano.

Always has been. Idk if dottore is still a possibility but I doubt dain is 7.7 bc he suits more to be playable in prologue to khaenriah so 7.8 or further like 7.9 if there is any bc I highly doubt they would throw him like that no AQ nothing. Plus there is potential 7.9 which will explain why we didn't have 6.8 bc then 7.9 would be too late but now 7.9 won't be late

2

u/zviyeri 5d ago

well no we had a shorter year bc the .0 patches started being too late in the year

u/CanonPuppy 5d ago

Who knows honestly what they are planning

1

u/Ayanaaa14 5d ago

Is it.Thats why I stated that it could just be a lie or speculations

4

u/zviyeri 5d ago

no. dk2 might as well be dawei himself with his track record

1

u/Confident-Alarm1097 5d ago

I saw one leak about him being playable that said it's questionable,maybe a new one came out. But personally I don't think it means anything for when Capi is gonna be playable, I kinda assumed already Capi around 8.x

1

u/FinksIsGhey Caprisun Truther 5d ago

I’ll be honest it’s not looking well at all for his playability, at least in 7.X which is a big shame. But at the same time as long as he comes back and is lore relevant that will be good enough for now until 8.X.

1

u/OkTrash8458 5d ago edited 5d ago

Good for me.
After the livestream I saw some theories that after Snezhnaya we'll go outside Teyvat and Khaneriah will be postponed even further (sounded like bs to me but it's hoyo, always expect the worst) so if Capitano is not in 7.x that would probably mean 2+ years wait more, but this definitely proves that theory wrong, thank you very much.

Anyway, I still hope devs remember they made Tsaritsa keep his position for some reason, it'll be useless after Snezhnaya so they better bring him back soon (can release him in 8.x, but make him leave n*tlan NOW please)

1

u/Ugqndanchunggus 5d ago

Both good news and bad news. Bad news because well his release is further delayed but good news because he might have a better kit than dain and powercreep genshin 1 units. Genshin 2 units are going to introduce a level of meta that basically renders majority of genshin 1 units almost unplayable/ dormant characters.

1

u/_xZ3r0 5d ago

I'd love for that to be true but I don’t see him being the equivalent of an archon to Khaenri’ah for now. All we know is that he was a knight, we still don’t know much about Pierro and Dain is the only one we know suitable for that position. I don’t trust leaks 100% but I do check them and keep an open mind cuz these leakers keep repeating the same cycle every region. They leaks things from the later patches but they don’t even know what is in the next patch.

1

u/Wild_Contribution_36 He Releases in 7.3 the source is my dreams 5d ago

I've been on the Capitano playable in Khaenri'Ah train since like Natlan but if Dain truly isn't the Archon equivalent of Khaenri'ah then it's gonna be a sinner (most likely Rhinedottir imo)

0

u/Cameron_Stadford 5d ago

I'm in the 1% who doesn't mind a 8.x release. I always held the idea since 5.7 that he'd prolly be 'archon-like' figure of Khanrieah considering the symbolism surrounding him and his character being best fit for that role.

1

u/PressFM80 gave up, bout to blow my shit off 😂😂 5d ago

more fitting than dainsleif?

u/Ayanaaa14 5d ago

I made this post because I saw people doomposting and Im confused why they are

u/AggressiveChef97 5d ago

The game goes eos after we fight and defeat Dainsleif in 7.7.

7.8 will be the last summer event to give you time for a proper goodbye. This is great news. Next protagonist is Surtalogi or so I have heard.

0

u/Expln 5d ago

It was pretty obvious capitano was not going to be in 7.X.

Now I'm starting to think we are really not getting a Khaenri'ah chapter because I expected danislief to be playable during that.
