The Flawless Design Of The Fatui Harbingers | Genshin Impact

never in my life would i have thought vars would utter the words "childe was conceptualized as a hyper carry but then we realized he's just a powerbottom for xiangling" 😭

i'm most excited for 6.0 where hoyo will release an 'awakened' (think il dang heng from hsr) tartaglia where his foul legacy and delusion form is playable, along with tonia, a pyro subdps who synergizes rly well him (i'm extremely delusional)

One thing I've noticed is that the harbingers all seem to be main DPS characters. While in contrast, the archons are more support oriented.

tsaritsa - I swear if blud is not a Bronya character expy appearance, I shall not pull 5star cryos ever 🫵
pierro - I feel u, man lost to sinner sage hroptatyr from stopping king irmin crashout. latter gassed the king
capitano - ＹＥＳ cappu
dottore - banish mf to shadow realm 🫵🫵🫵
columbina - intriguing since Natlan has angel lore
arlecchino - daddy
pulcinella - why r u in travail bro
wanderer - new leaf
sandrone - can we have playable clara in open world pls
signora - ashes because raiden COOKED her 🫵😂
pantalone - the ｂｅｌｉａｕ type character (eg. aizen makoto). friendly looking glasses man with nasty schemes cooking in his brain
10th - who was this
childe - bro is fight maniac because skirk borked him

Flawless? Looks at wanderer getting knocked down by hillichurl

My genuine hope is that they will release Signora or a version of her later into Genshin's lifespan to allow for power creep and fulfill her power fantasy to its fullest

Personally, Signora should be a Cryo Catalyst where her Burst turns her into a Pyro hypercarry, but she loses it when switching out. Basically she could literally be either a Cryo or Pyro unit depending on how you build her or what you need. Maybe Pyro makes her lose HP like Xiao or something. Idk, eventually most Gachas like to add units that can utilize multiple elements, and with Chasca being able to solo Swirl, maybe its coming.

"harbinger are main villains of the region"

Yeah sure, but inazuma didn't need any harbinger/villain. There was already Raiden shogun taking uo that role. Her centuries of unchanged concept of eternity put nothing more than intolerable agony/curse on her own people. Imposement of vision hunt decree was inevitable if for fatui or not, raiden would definitely do similar act. Thanks to traveler and mostly miko for backing up inazumans. Raiden Ei was good but just late on the stage.

"three currently playable" (only 2 being playable)

I've noticed the current playable fatui harbingers (yes that includes wanderer/scaramouche) are normal attack based dps. I don't know if that's hoyo's intention, but its very fitting considering majority of the harbingers have this "every man for himself' sort of mindset as well as their own drive to their personal goal.

the only harbinger i need is Columbina. Hoyo, make it so.

Capitano is the only reason im still grinding and saving primogems in Natlan.

I get some of the appeal for many of the harbingers thus far. Childe is a battle freak, but he’s not really evil, and is actually pretty chill outside of the whole betraying us in Liyue thing. Scaramuche literally rewrote his very existence to come out (slightly) less of a douche on the other side. Arleccino can be cold and cruel, but she does genuinely care about the children under her care. Capitano is honorable and true to his word. I can even sympathize somewhat with Signora after everything she went through. But I draw the line at Dottore. He literally skipped mad scientist and went straight to psychopath. He’s the one Fatui we’ve met so far with no redeeming qualities at all, and I have to question the judgement of anyone what wants HIM in particular to be playable.

I've never actually considered Childe a villain character because he never actually put Liyue into danger and he knew that he didn't. Unlike all the other Villain playable characters who did intentionally kill innocent people. Childe is on the same evil level as Lyney imo. The only thing crazy about him is his Goku style "I must fight the strongest opponents" attitude.

the best part of the Harbingers is that Rosalyne is totally still alive and she's at home cooking dinner for me frfr 100% not clickbait

I admit they're cool but I hate how the Fatui always win or always get the gnosis. Like it's just bland story telling whenever you know what exactly is gonna happen every story update so I really really hope they do it differently in Natlan... but I doubt it unfortunately knowing hoyo.

Let us get it or have it be just completely destroyed, it's very obvious something along those lines is gonna happen because we gotta get the pryo element somehow and honestly I believe the five star materials we are getting from the faction ranks are gonna be for pyro traveler. Considering there are six factions we can max and the traveler is a free C6 everytime so... maybe we become pyro archon idk because the materials are definitely different from tbe usual bottles we got

eternal copium of waiting for a eletro childe

I've always been somewhat unimpressed that the harbinger designs are super innovative and against the grain of the elements in question, but then they are all just on field carries who do normal and charged attack damage. They're Rube Goldberg machines of characters, an innovative kit with a simplistic payout. I think being a main DPS is fine, but I would love a harbinger that is all about skill or burst damage or even alters the way a reaction functions (my personal preference of the 3). Tartaglia, as a result of how his international team functions is the only one who has struck my fancy. I hope this comment ages poorly. I would love a nuker Capitano or Columbina. We need more nukers.

was Arlecchino ever seen as "Evil" "need fixing" or even the bad guy at all? didn't she help us and Fontaine in the story? or am I missing something it's been a while.

theres is no way they make Capitano not playable. the character build up and many fans like him. its such a wasted potential and money for hoyoverse if they didn't make him playable.
though i think they will give him new design like they did to hat guy

arlecchino at c0 does less personal damage than hu tao at c0 on both good hu tao teams being the xilonen and the xianyun versions! those teams also do more damage from sub dps because of furina and yelan! dont let the c1-c2 brainwash + simping narrative overcome please! (the uptime is nice in overworld sure but in any hard content you need the time for your rotation anyways or your arlecchino is going to start doing 20-30k per hit with no sub dps which is a huge dps loss)

4 years and counting for Signora to be playable.

All 11? I only see 9 Harbingers. #8 is dead, #6 was vacant for hundreds of years.

Genshin's Fatui = Kiseki series's Ouroboros

I CAN FIX THEM

I am absolutely dying to see Capitano playable, JUST TAKE MY DAMN WALLET

Signora will never be playable because Genshin could never revive anyone

Your “s” in your mic really hurts. Just want to comment on that

Hey, remember that one time when Klee broke Pierro's mask?

Talking about how strength is appealing, shows xiangling. Truth!

Boosteroid offers the best value for money in cloud gaming

What an amazing service Boosteroid is; it’s a must-have for gamers

mmsf2 music rahhhh

Imagine if Childe could enter his actual Foul Legacy during his burst? Maybe even change element temporarily. Two elements at once would be OP, but swapping it could work.

He'd be waaaay cooler to play having something like a Devil Trigger. All Harbringers with these boss forms should atleast get it's appearence when using their bursts.

i think I’ll never get over signora guys… she’s the most gorgeous character in the game as a hyperfeminine devilish witch

the only reason why arlecchino is the best is cuz she has a freaking SCYTH

The papafranku reference is very much appreciated

I don't need to fix em, because whatever is wrong with them makes them hotter

I love how the Traveler went from seeing Archons and Gods and Harbingers and thinking "I can win this, sure!" to fighting Arlecchino and just being like "WTF is even going on I don't understand. This power is beyond my comprehension."

I can fix her.

Its a 3 years since playing this game, never pulled a harbinger

What’s the theme song name at the end

And here I thought the reason Childe was disliked was due to Ganyu...

i love every harbinger except signora. even dottore. how dare signora kicked venti?

Dottore will be mine. 😊😊❤ GOTTA BE A DOTTORE MAIN !!!

I love how everyone gets the italian pronunciations except arlecchino🤣

No. 9 (if ever playable) should be a physical dps that's a catalyst. Idk how it'll work, but he is not loved by the gods and they refuse to give him a vision

Making it a physical catalyst would be pretty cool cuz we would see him learning a weapon that requires a vision

wut? I am sorry but the harbinger suck

The only one I cared was Signora.

Copium. Meh the only OP one is Arlechino.
