I know we all want her to be busted AND SHE WILL BE but with how sandrones teams work and their strength…. Lord have mercy, as a zzz player I have played these games before…

Let’s look at the outcomes, also this is for players who care about the meta and clearing content for fun, if you don’t and just like cool ice woman than you have nothing to worry about ❤️

Option one a dps: for the community to be satisfied she’ll need to be a cryo dps that is just better than sandrone and potentially other Stella dps in every way with an archon budget opens the floodgates to the thing hoyo has refrained from… rug pulls… all the people who pulled sandrone thinking she would be the best in her niche for like… more than a few patches would feel betrayed, no dps has ever been released and instantly replaced in their niche before, closes was lohen but he’s a melt hex guy and sandrone is Stella conduct so theoretically she is not always better, community satisfied dps Tsaritsa would be better all the time then sandrone

The solution? Ditch the idea of “the archon is the center of the region” and make her the zibai of Stella, the clear best outcome but not multi redactional or a must pull, if you got sandrone the Tsaritsa is a luxury. If you want another stella team sure go for it 👍

Option two a support: this one has another rug pull situation in that if she works in all Stella teams like columbina well then sandrone and even mizuki teams are already REALLY good, dominating the meta, and with an archon support they will pull ahead even further, plus where would she even fit? It’s likely with the amount of electro characters that Odette and yae get replaced in sandrone premium and who knows what else?

The solution is the same, ditch the idea of universal and just make her idk Danica or rimegrass bis with good synergy outside that similar to furina, elevating the cast and balancing out power creep

Overall if you have the mindset that “she must be broken op” in this meta and a character you like was released pre 6.7, heck even 7.0 with how likely odette and sandrone are to be powercrept by the Tsaritsa, then SYFM

If you only like the Tsaritsa and characters not out yet good on you, but have some empathy, even if she’s nothing crazy and archonlike, she’ll be harming herself getting powercrept faster. If the president is set that you can be powercrept in your own niche before you even get a 2nd rerun by the archon, and or the worse option, archon supports take already top 1 teams even further leaving the meta units not even a year old far behind, she’ll be powercrept way quicker in that world even if she’s more dominant in her release patch

So remember this, If the Tsaritsa having a alright kit for an archon, top of the meta but not by much, maybe having some op unintended combos like mavuika to get her running even longer, that is the best outcome for both her and genshin.

You will always see people say “barou should have been top 3 in the nel he’s way better than shidou” but I think they are pretty neck and neck equals, the reason barou scored more in the nel was because he had no major competition within his team, I don’t think pxg would have lost to anybody even if rin wasn’t there, shidou would have just taken all of rins goals. Rin didn’t really go all out using all his tricks like destroyer mode in any of the matches they won other than bastard munchen so shidou if locked in could definitely do what he did in the manshine and barcha games

I predict shidou in this rinless world would score an easy hat trick into manshine, I also think 1 extra goal into barcha as well making a third hat trick is possible as well. I do NOT think he could score a second goal into bastard munchen leaving a final tally of 8 goals vs barous 6-7 goals

But if we are giving shidou the benefit of no competition barou desvers to play from the start ie playing into pxg and this is a debatable match up without rin. To me I think Ubers would actually win, not because barou is better but the zombie would make shidou scoring a lot harder. Rin and shidou playing together would be the most needed that match as the ace eater can’t eat two aces at once.

barou would then score some extra goals giving him 7-10 goals depending on if he hat tricks or not, or if you count his second goal into machine, so the final tally is a big old it depends as you could say shidou also scores a extra goal or two giving him a potential range of 9-10 as well but then you could also say barou doesn’t hat trick pxg, I believe barou would have a slight edge after a close 3-2 game leaving the final tally of 9-10 goals for barou and 8-9 for shidou, I do not think pxg vs Ubers is a fair match to decide who is better between barou and shidou as Lorenzo is doing a lot of the heavy lifting remove him and it’s really not close.

Now for the u20 World Cup shaped elephant in the room, I think France match was no different than an Ubers vs pxg match when it comes to shidou va barou. Shidou wants to be free, barou wants to eat you alive so Shidou losing the goal to barou doesn’t make him worse, it just proves barou is a counter to Shidou but not overall better. Conclusion: the triple jokers are equals! well maybe not kunegami… the double jokers are equals!

Shidou seems to be benefiting barou and not growing at all, he seriously needs an awakening how has he not gotten one yet?

Leaks, they just suck. They don’t matter most of the time when it comes to Capitano, they aren’t fun to talk about and it’s just boring and repetitive

I’m specifically talking leaks for patches beyond the next one, stuff like the amount of lines each character get next patch, artifact lore, character kits and all things for the next patch are incredibly reliable and aren’t speculative. When random “credible” leakers throw stuff at the wall with no evidence but their credibility and name what does that even communicate? What discussions are to be had? “Yay thing I want is happening” and if thing you want isn’t happening well now it’s not reliable.

If every reliable leaker alive right now said “Capitano will be playable today” that gives me way less hope and excitement than seeing a poster of him on the wall, or having his name merely mentioned. I’m just kinda tired of them, I’m aware I can always stop looking at them and from this day onwards I will, but this post was more so to rant out my frustrations.

As a reward for those who read this ahh post fully here’s a poem I wrote i hope you like it 🥺

In the distant barren lands, oh captain, will you stand?

None could match his strength, for he’s the bravest man

“Forsake one of your rules,” he declared sword in hand

Rest now great captain, for this is not the end.

I’ve had this issue with the word “mommy” (don’t ask) I wrote it multiple times (I swear it made sense within the context) and it started to look like gibberish

See if you have this effect too and try writing it out as well if it doesn’t happen immediately

Mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy

It’s really bad for me, I had to google search it multiple times to make sure the word I was writing was real and not a typo and now my search history looks weird. A similar thing happened to me with “bee” as well as “all” but this effect seemingly wore off and I don’t want it to return. It’s also happened to many other words I just kinda forgot the specific ones and it doesn’t happen to all words either like I tried my name and daddy too but they look legit to me.

Has anyone else experienced this and is there some sort of science to it? And why these specific words?

People have been saying that she’s actually koitar and that makes her creepy when I feel like that theory makes way more sense no?

What if Capitano has a stellar linchpin, Capitano has mysterious cryo powers nobody really knows where he got it from and I’m leaning towards a stellar linchpin. There is one issue, we don’t see one on his person anywhere. This leads me to my “theory” it’s in his heart, it’s what allows him to carry that many souls in the first place, and WHEN (inshallah) he stands and is relived of that duty held just pop it out boon Stella melt SSS+ tier dps

It being in his heart lines up with other Stella linchpin stories (well we only know one so far but still) sandrone got hers when she needed it most at deaths door so it makes sense Capitano would get it to help his ultimate life’s goal, carrying the souls of his comrades.

It would also explain why a BURST of cryo energy formed around him when his heart was finally released, as if his Stella linchpin was relived of its duty

It also matches up with my theory that the Tsaritsas is handing out Stella linchpin herself, I mean everybody who has one is seemingly useful to her and its power is connected to the third descender, a power source she is seemingly after and trying to control.

The final thing that supports this is his sword, it’s also made of cryo but supposedly given to him by the Tsaritsa? It looks identical to his cryo powers no different than any of those pillar attacks, and he generates the sword himself so it doesn’t really make sense, unless this single sword is what allows him to do cryo attacks but that doesn’t make sense either as he can still use his cryo powers when the sword is destroyed so clearly both the sword and cryo powers come from the Tsaritsa, and I think her giving Capitano both a huge source of cryo power and a sword to come with it makes sense, and we have never seen archons just give raw elemental energy to people ( I think? Idk ) at least never to this scale other than through delusions and visions, I guess this entire theory works if their is a cryo delusion lodged in his heart instead but I WANT STELLA MELT CAPITANO

Also I think a delusion would upset his heart, no proof just a hunch, plus the sandrone stuff + rebirth really makes me feel like he’ll get one, especially since he WILL drop January 2027 (inshallah)

Personally like all of them but “let order and madness dance” is my favorite

Our ocean is a little tiny puddle compared to the big ol universe so surely funny lil green guys exist somewhere and our calcs are wrong. it’s not even the lack of believes it’s the superstition in believing that baffles me. It’s compared to believing in things like dragons, the Easter bunny or tooth fairies or even the queen of England

More alien believers should exist, unless I am missing something we should spend ever nations military budget to find them
