I have fallen down the rabbit hole of Genshin Impact and found myself entrenched in an interesting discourse around the Hypostasis theory. Interestingly, this game theory has been a hot topic of discussion in online fan spaces and the excitement is real!
Summary
- A double dose of electro hypostasis makes the theory thick
- Cracks seen in anemo/electro/geo hypostasis could hint at original archons
- Particular elemental themes resonate stronger with particular characters
- The pyro archon could possibly pack an explosive E skill
Double the Electrifying Impact
First off, let’s talk about how there are two – count ’em, two – Electro Hypostases. As pointed out by Disastrous_Account66, “The thing with the electro hypostasis is that there are two of them”. I’m no statistician, but I think this significantly increases the chances of getting zapped.
Crack the Code to Archon Lore
Meanwhile, Zatenael (also the OG post author) observes the cracked nature of the Anemo, Electro, and Geo Hypostases, which may imply the presence of the original archons – “just noticed while making this, the anemo/electro/geo ones are cracked which could relate to how the respective archons were there from the beginning as opposed to the new ones.” Cracks, archons, and lore – Oh my!
Elemental Spin on Character Resonance
Furthermore, Eltatero goes deep into the elemental theming. On pondering the relation between the elements and their respective resonances, they state, “I personally think a lot of these come down to just similar elemental theming.” They further point out how strongly Venti resonates with Anemo or how Zhongli’s skills are in sync with Geo. This does not particularly help predict what’s up next, but it does keep fans intrigued with these cool character-feature associations.
The Pyro Factor
And then, there’s a tantalizing tease about the Pyro Archon having an explosive E skill. PaymentHealthy5588 predicts, “Then the pyro archon must have some explosive E skill” – which is bound to make fans go, ‘Bring the heat on!’
This delightful exchange paints a vivid picture of how fans are diving deep into the Genshin Impact world. The Hypostasis theory holds a mirror to the enthusiasm and imagination of the player community. With more discussions, predictions, and a pinch of pyro, who knows what’s around the corner in the game? Watch this space!
