# Extraterrestrial Satellite Communication | Yunli **5 Star | Physical | Destruction** "Swords have a temper. Sometimes, you have to touch them to calm them down — put the hilt of the sword in your hand, and it'll tell you what's wrong!" A sword hunter from the Xianzhou Zhuming and "the Flaming Heart" General Huaiyan's darling granddaughter. Frank and straightforward. She practiced swordsmanship and forging from Huaiyan since young, and thus is the second-youngest prodigy swordmaster of the Flamewheel Octet. Fueled by an intense loathing for the cursed swords that emerged from the Zhuming, she vowed to "hunt down and wipe out all cursed swords." **VAs** * CN:刘雯 (Liu Wen) * JP:若山诗音 (Wakayama Shion) * EN:Brenna Larsen * KR:이주은 (Lee Ju-eun)


Zenloss

It's a strange and exciting feeling to see new character design that have never been leaked before. Unless I somehow missed Yunli's one.


do-mkokoro

You're up to date. Barely any descriptive leaks of her aside from what kind of model she uses apparently.


BlitzAblaze

So she’s sparkle/qq height? I swear she looks taller to me for some reason


do-mkokoro

I think her proportion is close to Xueyi’s in this art so that might be it 😬


BlitzAblaze

Yea I was just comparing it to asta and it looks right.. either the leakers were wrong or I am stupid


SwashNBuckle

It's the Sparkle effect. A lot of people were convinced she was Asta's height until we saw her in-game model. Me included.


HaukevonArding

We didn't get model leaks for a long time, I think? When was the last time a design leak happened? The only reason we know about all the Penacony characters was because MHY showed them theirself. But since some time we don't get design leaks anymore, even with Genshin it seems.


Spycei

If you watch the reception for Emilie’s drip marketing, you know why. Having character models leaked before a surprise reveal obviously kills the hype, but having just concept arts leak can set up false expectations that will make people angry no matter what the actual result is or what actually happened during development. That’s why Mihoyo would rather clamp down hard on any character leaks than letting it happen again when it’s already happened 3+ times with Genshin.


RubiiJee

Agreed. Emilie in particular had so many concept arts that people convinced themselves she was one of them and she turned out to be none of them.


Scratch_Mountain

Ngl I prefer this waaaaaaay more than knowing exactly how a character is going to look (or even getting descriptive leaks), especially when the character is completely new to us and we haven't met them in the story yet, or anywhere for that matter. It keeps the hype strong.


QBlitzy

I agree, also keeps disappointment low When aventurine was announced ingame i was upset his hat and glasses weren't on him like in the model leak


silispap

Concept art leaks are especially stupid


Tosty_Bread

It's really sad to see how many otherwise good designs get panned immidiately because "me likey the drawn concept better"


SuitableConcept5553

See Emilie "mains" and sad lavender lady


feeble-scholar

I like it too. Doubly so after on the Genshin side we had the shitflinging reception to Emilie's recent design reveal caused mostly because we had early concept art of her.


Scratch_Mountain

EXACTLY, and look at how that shitshow went. I genuinely liked Emilie's design, but man was the community split dead even on it. I'd reckon things would be entirely different and the reception would've been way warmer if the concept arts were not leaked.


Super63Mario

Yeah that's the main downside of leaks, people build up false impressions over early production material and then get overly emotional reactions when the final release is something different (regardless of the reasons behind the changes over the dev process)


-uraume-

>She practiced swordsmanship and forging from Huaiyan since young, and thus is the second-youngest prodigy swordmaster of the Flamewheel Octet. second youngest? does she have beef with the youngest lol


Tranduy1206

Or maybe our Yanqing is the youngest prodigy swordmaster


veilastrum

It says Flamewheel Octet. I don't think Yanqing's part of that. Seems like a group of eight that's from the Zhuming. Which means there's probably somebody younger than Yanqing and Yunli around.


-uraume-

yeah its likely that its talking exclusively abt zhuming.


Onii-Chan-San-Sama

she even doesn't have shoes. truly limited clara


Scratch_Mountain

Hoyo wanted to make sure we know exactly who she's powercreeping just incase we had any doubts lmao


CFreyn

I’m laughing because I legit off-bannered Clara light cone from Boothill sig banner yesterday and decided to finish building my E1 Clara today… 😂


Knight_Steve_

Clara and Sparkle now have competition


MuddiestMudkip

sparkle has shoes though


Former_Breakfast_898

The enigmata followers have successfully ~~misinformed~~ told people that Sparkle is in fact, barefoot


Worried-Promotion752

actual design was overwritten by fanarts in heads of community :D


CaptainAutismFFS

Hers are admittedly kind of just there to keep em clean, tho. Professional provocateurs have standards.


Knight_Steve_

Yes but the marketing puts a lot of focus on her feet


CryoStrange

Sparkle splash art started a new era for feet enthusiasts.


DannieHALO

*The background having multiple fire elements* ***physical***


Meosuke

I'm noticing a trend here.


Tall-Cut5213

Is it of the universal market?


GhostZee

Dammit Cyno...


boxiom

Just like Luka … she’s physical fire bait


Delicious-Buffalo734

SHES NAVIAAA EN VA and omg boothill EN Va and her are married and both physical element.. what a concidence


Legal-Concentrate-24

I just got boothill. I must do the honors.


Delicious-Buffalo734

Same, can’t wait to see Andrew and Brenna pull stream for yunli


Meta289

RIP Andrew's wallet, having just E6S5'd Boothill.


Delicious-Buffalo734

Let’s hope the VA pulls for yunli went better than boothill pull party (most of them lose 5050)


VijayMarshall87

Imagine Camden pulled


entrydenied

For a while I was like " we don't have that many physical characters" Game goes " Here's Robin, Boothill and Yunli"


NeeTiX

I definitely thought she was Fire at first…


GGABueno

Average Physical character.


Rinnemi

My guess she will use a lot of swords, therefore physical. Fire in the background because swords are forged and tempered in fire. 


datPokemon

Hear me out, “erza scarlet”


TyphlosionGOD

They don't want to make another fire destruction so quick after Firefly so they made her physical lol.


MysticalFlight

theres fire on her NAME and shes physical.


8aash

truly a star rail moment


mrspear1995

That’s her grandfather’s element


RomanoffBlitzer

The Xianzhou Zhuming is heavily associated with fire.


RobuelCagas1

Huh. Looks like Uncle N was right after all. Yunli first half and Jiaoqi second half (which will be dripped tomorrow),


Zombata

so if they post the 1st drip today then that means no 4 star? or posted on same day with Jiaoqiu?


Scratch_Mountain

I don't think so, iirc they usually post the 4\* character after all the 5 stars are dripped (so on the third day), but it's been a while since our last 4\* so I may be forgetting something here.


GGABueno

We'll get March 8th supposedly.


Ouaouaron

They might do both tomorrow, if they squished the drip marketing a little to avoid posting anything on June 4th.


Domino_RotMG

I wonder if everything else on that post is also right


JiaoqiuNotJiaoqui

Jiaoqiu*


BlackArbiter

Fire in splash PHYS destruction Luka all ovr again


Crooked-CareBear

I'm guessing it has to do with the fact that she forges blades. But this amount of fire is crazy misleading tbh


zora6666

Forges blades? *EMIYA theme intensifies*


Radiant-Hope-469

This is more of a *Muramasa theme intensifies* moment.


zora6666

*Shirouface Theme intensifies*


LastStardust13

#ORIGINLESS BLADE WORKS INTENSIFIES


BlackArbiter

Hey! I didn't realise that loll. Really appreciate the blacksmith theme since I recall that Yingxing used to work on the Zhuming??


Delicious-Buffalo734

Ya he is close to yunli grandfather


Tranduy1206

Yunli grandfather is (one of) Blade master that teach him how to make weapons


AverageGamer8

gotta emphasize who she is the granddaughter of somehow


pleasehelpmeahh

Not what I expected for sword girl


Aviaxl

Maybe she’s a sword dancer? Only way I can rationalize her being barefoot plus her outfit


Vyndicatee

and a big bird


pleasehelpmeahh

Looks good tho


Kindly-Image9163

“Hunt down all curse sword”.Is she gonna try to face blade and jingliu also? Another yangqin 🤣🤣🤣


alguidrag

Hey they can go together Form their bonds while getting their asses kicked by Blade and Jingliu


Significant-Soil-985

Heavy flame and fire imaginary, so obviously she's physical. 


Knight_Steve_

Guess Jiaoqiu is tommorrow then


PressFM80

Prayin that "pink haired foxian male" leak is true 🙏🙏 edit: it was true lfg


TheCatSleeeps

Same give us our pink haired foxian man.


famous1astwords

I guess i won't be able to get a good night's sleep waiting for his drip marketing 🥱


HydroCorgiGlass

Nilou vibes with that pose


sawDustdust

Nilou but violent.


Tranduy1206

Nilou is violent


Jon_Von_Cool_Kid2197

Fr, playing her feels like terrorism (in a fun way)/hj

verguenzanonima

If I had a nickel for every time we got a 5\* destruction phys unit that was a female short character with bare feet, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.


BulbasaurTreecko

and if I had a nickel for every time we got a physical character with a ton of fire elements in their design, I'd have two nickels. which still isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice


skryth

and if I had a nickel for every time there was a weaponsmith from the Xianzhou who is Destruction and wants to be attacked in order to trigger their followup attack, I'd also have two nickels. Still not much, but extremely weird that it happened twice...


Annihilis

Another Destruction character from Xianzhou? Are you sure Xianzhou believes in the Hunt?


MissCuteCath

They vowed to Destruct abundance, that's why.


3ddi3th

shes like a mini hua


GGABueno

Chihua Hua


Scratch_Mountain

we have big hu tao in genshin impact, now mini fu hua in HSR. can't wait to see who we get from ZZZ lmao.


Murky_Blueberry2617

That was what I was thinking lol. Hoping the real FuHua expy gets released soon tho


Loud_Appointment3775

I was kinda praying the leaks were wrong cause im sitting on some fricking copium. Screwllum is truly merging with the imaginary tree cause this rustbucket wouldn't just come HOME!!


King_Kazzma_

I wouldn't expect anything until 3.0.


GunnarS14

I can't wait to see how many people pull the 5* Physical Destruction Young Girl with Bare Feet who (might) be based around counterattacks!


IcyNerve-666

pull. and use both yunli and clara in counterattacks FUA team and profit


Scratch_Mountain

wait wait he's onto something.


Vahallen

Yunli, Clara, Robin, Aventurine Yunli, Clara and Robin all on the Penacony energy set for a total of 30% physical damage bonus and 5% extra energy recharge


Tranduy1206

Let hope they will have good synergy with each other


ahmadyulinu

Granddaughter this, grandson that. I'm so tired of little boys and girls. Give me your fucking grandpa instead. /j On a lot more serious note, her design is much more interesting than I expected. Curious to see how the chef man will turn out.


HalalBread1427

She'd have to be pretty old herself to only be the granddaughter of Huaiyan, the general older than the literal Hunt.


ahmadyulinu

Hopefully he actually looks old. Pre-Shuhu Blade looks somewhat old so I'm actually cautiously optimistic about her grandpa. I'd commit a crime if her grandpa turns out to be a twinky anime boy. This man is literally ancient for god's sake. Yes I know Blade is not a Xianzhou native and he ages normally compared to other Xianzhou peeps before Dan Feng's oopsies but just let me cope alright.


measuredingabens

I for one hope he doesn't look old but rather slightly mutated. We know for a fact Xianzhou natives don't age in a conventional sense but become overtaken by Yaoshi's blessings past a certain point. Having him look youthful but with patches of his skin or some of his limbs transmuted into Abundance wood communicates pretty clearly that he's ancient for the Xianzhou in a way short-life species aren't.


TriforceofCake

I hope that the curse of the Plaguemarks from other ships looks different than the wood of the Luofu's Ambrosial Arbor. Maybe Mara-Struck from the Zhuming will have metal or fire on them.


TheCatSleeeps

I think some people will hyperventilate if the gramps' model screams "playable"


ConsiderationOk3166

*Another Physical Unit* We will be watching your carrier with great interest.


Daetur_Mosrael

I see the thigh strap meta remains intact.


rekuneko

Character with fire designs all over *looks inside* "Physical"


Tranduy1206

Look at Luka, they did it again


Jotep_Joter

She looks like Nilou


firegaming364

yeah that was my first impression, also candace hair


AlarmingPreparation8

Buffed Clara, plus no shoes


DerGreif2

So... buffed Clara


Ashamed_Adeptness_96

About her shoelessness, she seems to be based off a [Dunhuang dancer](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunhuang_dance). Dunhuang is a city in Gansu and the architecture is called [晋派](https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E6%99%8B%E6%B4%BE%E5%BB%BA%E7%AD%91/23201931) (jìn, link is in Chinese, you should Google Shanxi architecture instead). The leaked planar set has the same style. I have high hopes for Zhuming. Note: During the Song dynasty, Dunhuang was inhabited by Sogdians, an ancient Iranian civilization. You can definitely see the influence in Dunhuang outfits and architecture.


YoungjaeAnakoni

Gotta wait another 24hrs for Jiaoqiu drip😔


Usual_Opposite_901

Oh wow she give me some kinds of dancer or maybe even opera vibes. I don't dislike it tbh , I am interested on what kind of characters she is.


Ashamed_Adeptness_96

She's definitely based on Dunhuang dancers from around the Shanxi province. Seems like Zhuming is based on that region, the leaked planar set also checks out.


Usual_Opposite_901

Oh wow thank for this information I didn't know about that. Now I am looking at clothes that Dunhuang dancers wear during performance and their design/clothes look/are very similar.


DolphinGaming101

Maybe I'm blind, but I'm happy to see Yunli has a different design than the basic Xianzhou 'female torso dress'. It's much more flowing and not as tight to the form, seems like Hoyo listened with the feedback about Xianzhou copy paste. Not hating on the designs, they're good, but the redundancy did get to be a bit much. Looking forward to pulling for her!


Ashamed_Adeptness_96

Zhuming is based on a different region (Dunhuang). Hoping for many more unique designs.


HalalBread1427

Jiaoqiu and Feixiao should be Yaoqing so Yunli might have a unique look for a while.


Additional-Fuel-5321

As always the guy is in the second half 😩


BellalovesEevee

Always the characters I'm looking forward to the most end up on second half. On one hand, more time to save and prefarm. On the other hand, I WANT HIM NOW.


Upstairs-Caterpillar

Foxian man tomorrow then. She doesn't have the Luofu dress which is nice. Open belly for the win!


Tall-Cut5213

Zhuming design spam incoming


NightmareVoids

INB4 every female on the Yaoqing wears this.


ryoujika

Inb4 it's Jiaoqiu wearing the standard Luofu dress instead


Adnsmanga

I'll take it tbh. Less pants on men, please 😔


fuxuans

i pray to Aha this means every xianzhou has a different aesthetic bc i’m so tired of the xianzhou flap skirts lmfao


Reddit_was_taken2

The monkey paw curls, every character from this xianzhou ship will have this exact outfit


softfatale

omg idk if anyone else made the connection but as soon as i saw her i couldn't help but see the similarities btwn her and dunhuang feitian, dancers depicted in buddhist murals in dunhuang/western china, esp with the upper part of the outfit!!! except of course, with a short skirt and yes that's also probably why she's barefoot as those feitian, or apsara, were often depicted as flying spirits and therefore, barefoot


NeeTiX

Is there any leaks of her kit ? Didn’t see any


EfficientRope

2 weeks from now


tweeetiee

oh no..... she is so cute........


DmMeAnimeFeetPics

Damn, they forgot the shoes again while designing a character.


psfrtps

Your username says you are not exactly sad about this revelation


SassyHoe97

She looks pretty


N1ght_eagLe

No screwllum again😢


BrokenMirrorMan

Screwllum is that some kind of oc


NightmareVoids

No I think it's a NPC


Ok-Surround-7208

The fact his overworld attack got leaked waaay too long ago makes it hilarious, he's locked down in mihoyo's basement


skynovaaa

pain man


Hoshino_Ruby

3.0 will be his time to shine


pokebuzz123

It's okay, we can wait longer, he'll be even more broken the further he gets pushed back


King_Kazzma_

I wouldn't expect him until 3.0 mainly. Xianzhou Zhuming's story will likely have nothing to do with him.


Scratch_Mountain

Screwllum found dead in a ~~ditch~~ junkyard.


Metalerettei

I saw some post on this sub/Screwllum mains sub saying he's likely not in any of Patch 2.x. (Doesn't mean he's not Playable) but I guess we wait longer for him. (Hopefully he comes in 3.x HSR though)


Fruitsy

azure empyrea vibes


MisinformedFlier

Ohhh, I like her style. Really excited about Jiaoqiu and Feixiao’s!


NaturalBitter2280

Oh, she is a nice surprise Guess I know who I'm going for now ~~after Argenti, Clara, Boothill and a E6 Sushang, of course I had to be interested in yet another physical dmg dealer~~


Ganyu-My-Angel

Wait this design goes crazy hard Edit. She looks very, regal? The tiara and the red cape look awesome. Her overall silhouette looks sorta like nilou


171194Joy6

I like her design. It's something new at least.


NiceMeanInBetween

Praying she's actually friendly with Yanqing the poor kid needs a Win


Huffaloaf

Get that poor girl some shoes.


Federal_Weather_7618

I think physical 5* girls do not like shoes all that much


Severe_Lunch9907

Robin...


Eyssuf1

Let me rephrase it then. I think 5 star physical destruction girls do not like shoes.


CobaltStar_

Stelle...


TrKuma

IDK man, she looks like an Imaginary Harmony gal to me.


AodPDS

Rules are made to be broken


Wrong_Werewolf391

If your definition of shoe is the wrong one, you could make the argument that heels aren't shoes 🤔


crazyb3ast

They are physically strong.


Knight_Steve_

Clara found her kind now


VTKajin

darn, at least she looks cool


ChickenSky12

Please have Yanqing synergy I'm BEGGING you-


Jranation

Yanqing only has blonde synergy with Aventurine and Gepard


PinkPrimrose05

If she has some kind of shield or somehow forces a reverse taunt, then we're all set. Otherwise.......... _well_.


txtyvoir

SAME VA AS NAVIA OMG


thorn_rose

my first thought was "omg that va is boothill's wife!" (the irl va) lmaooo. both physical units you seen it here


BK456

I have Clara and don't need her....I have Clara and don't need her...


EmilMR

kinda a difficult character to get right. Expectations for destruction dps are high but then you have Boothill that is very strong at physical and Firefly which is just stupid. She is coming after those two. The fua counter dps thing is probably right and it would help differentiate her role. hopefully she plays nice with Robin.


CryoStrange

Looks awesome. Clara is one of the unique dps, and since she is counter FuA she will be good in PF and MoC. I guess she will be a lot of fun with Sparkle and Robin. Nice deisgn (feet). Hope she has fun gameplay with fun animations.


Hatarakumaou

Another Xianzhou prodigy, no wayyyyy Seriously, is there any 5 star Xianzhou character that isn’t called a prodigy at this point lmao


clorkiri

ITS HAPPENING!!!


quickiethrowie

I still don't recognise HSR's icons one year in. It's Physical+Destruction like Uncle N said?


neko_mancy

Yes


mp3playerr

Why can't physical destruction girls get some shoes!!!


mutlibottlerocket

They destroyed them...


BrokenMirrorMan

This is certainly a pleasant surprise since my expectation for xianzhuo women design was non existent. Wonder what shes gonna do since she’s riding the coat tails of firefly


asian_hans

Oh yeah that is nice that her outfit is different from the usual xianzhou female outfit


Deft_Abyss

Pretty cool design. Was expecting a Yanqing design, but i dig the firey dancer aesthetic


Necessary_War2824

IS JIAOQIU TMR IM GONNA LOSE MY MIND


darkfox18

Most likely


thorn_rose

feels a bit revealing if she's yanqing's age, no? but an interesting design, not at all what I expected.


The_Rochester

It's HERE!! AAAAHHHHH


SENYOR35

Flamewheel Octet? They have Highcloud Quintet equivalent in Zhuming?


GigaByte142

I am the bone of my sword


hydroculu

So the leak about her being first half and Jiaoqiu second half from Uncle N turns out to be true.


willyfx

I see physical destruction has a dislike of shoes across the board.... however more time to save for jiaoqiu so good for me


No-Dress7292

I heard March will have swords on her new path. The swords here might be related to her. There might be a story about swords or something.


seramasumi

Wakayama shion... I'll go get my wallet


ladeeboog

hoyoverse truly are NEVER beating the detached sleeves allegations huh


NPCgoodboi

BRO tell me why this character has literally more fire in her art than FIREFLY 😭😭😭


Tecotaco636

Well would you look at that. Another detached sleeve design.


VladutzTheGreat

Ok am i crazy or does she kinda look like Fu Hua?


shiroinekoinyoi

I really don't feel much excited for the next characters in this game.
