Looking forward to the next Season has me speculating on what we have in store for us in the next season. Here are my thoughts, I look forward to being corrected and completely wrong.
Format is: Story Arc (Agent Banner) Patch Number
Intro to Roscalifer and Marcel (Norma/Velina) 3.0
Introduction with Flint (Claret/Roxy) 3.1
Marcel dealing with Krampus (Sigrid/Phenix) 3.2
The Mayor/NEPS gets involved with the secret city (Severian/Storyteller) 3.3
Climax and resolution of the fight between VH Legends (Remielle/Sunbringer) 3.4
Agent Element and Class:
We already know that Norma is a Fire Stunner and Velina is a Wind Anomaly. So with that information, I want to expand that to what we have in store for us on the upcoming agents.
These guesses are based entirely on speculation, assumptions, agent aesthetics, and agent roster diversity. Take everything here with a massive grain of salt.
Claret: Fire Anomaly? (I feel she's either physical or fire. We just got YSG so doubt Physical attacker. We already have three physical anomaly. We're just about to get Silly as physical rupture. And she doesnt feel like a supporting char based on personality. So leaning towards fire and the only other fire anomaly was Burnice way back in season 1)
Roxy: Wind Support? (New element, needs expanding. She feels like a more background help out the team person. Didnt seem aggressive enough for a main DPS type role or tanky enough to be a Defense agent.)
Sigrid: Ice Attacker? (Been a bit since we had an Ice attack agent with Hugo. Se seems refined and noble which to me screams Ice. Could also be wind though but I feel like Remielle is going to be Wind Attack or Wind Rupture)
Phoenix: Fire Support/Defense (The fire part feels obvious due to name and trailer details. But class hard to determine. I believe theyre part of Krampus and right now there is no Krampus support. Also no S rank fire support currently so thats what Im going with)
Severian: Electric Anomaly (This is massive cope in the hopes he works well with Seth on a team. If not Anomaly, my guess is on Electric rupture)
Storyteller: Ether Attacker (Her design to me screams ether. Last Ether attacker was Zhu Yuan and is due for another go)
Remielle: Wind Rupture (Wind is the new element and shes got that whole slide past your defenses and floaty vibe to her. She's a VH so guessing she'll be a unique case where she'll feel like a combo Rupture/Attacker character)
Sunbringer: ??? (Complete wildcard I do not know enough about her to even begin to speculate. Maybe shes just super goofy and uses bangboos to attack. Who knows?)
Let me know your thoughts and critiques. I whipped this up quickly while playing and let ideas flow so Im sure I'm missing stuff.
EDIT: Clarification, I am aware Remielle is likely going to be the Banner for 3.1 and Anniversary. This was more so a thought experiment from discussing with someone who said:
With all these new characters being drip marketed, it's hard to say... but wouldn't it be funny if their banner release is according to how they positioned them? https://zenless.hoyoverse.com/en-us/news/163799
