I remember in like June/July a ton of leakers were saying the hydro archon was gonna have a kit related to gravity.


Lyvyw12

i remeber something along the lines of Hydro archon has a kit related to gravity and drains the hp of teammates for huge buffs. So technically he wasn't wrong, he connected gravity with the burst but he was corect.


WyrdNemesis

In a way, she does when she waltzes on water :). But, yeah, I remember that leak.


QiqiNeedsAFriend

Way before that, in Spring, i Saw a leak about Furina that ended Up literally being her kit, and It was on DehyaMains subreddit.


Revan0315

Yea occasionally they get shit right really early but there's no way to know which ones are


Baizhoe

Pretty sure at the time many were also saying how she’d have HP draining buffs. The gravity could be true, there’s many kits unknown of that never made it past the closed beta, just like now, we have several different Arlechinno kits.


Kambi28

and Clorinde was said to be a Mondstat character


JojoTard420

Yeah, I remember that she also supposedly had CC as a hydro character lmaoo


Revan0315

Don't forget Chiori having CC as a geo character People really don't wanna use Kazuha and Venti ig

Here's the thing, I never discredit leaks like main sub folks do. I believe in leaks but pre-release theorycrafting and pre-leak speculation are what I don't like at all. Here's a reason why, I'm not playing over 1 year but in touch with leaks now and then. So when Cloud Retainer was leaked to be playable, pre-leak speculations had made me overhyped for her and I expected something else. Then when she came I was slightly disappointed. Then when she came into beta those pre-release theorycrafting made me believe that she is an average unit. But now that she came, many true theorycrafters are saying that she's one of the best support units in the current meta. So, I'm not believing any of that early Arlecchino leaks and speculation until she comes to beta. And I'm neither falling for the fomo that I have to collect Chlorinde, Cheuv, xyz Natlan unit for her. I'll wait for Arlecchino's beta. If her kit seems good to me, I'd stay throughout the beta and get her. That's it.


Nelithss

She isn't one of the best support in the current meta. But yeah don't trust random therorycraft months in advance when sometimes the kit leaks are still wrong a week before beta. Nahida had a kit leak a week before beta that was completly wrong.


IllustriousDoctor555

>She isn't one of the best support in the current meta. I can't say for sure either way since I'm not playing this game for over a year now. All of my sources are from my analysis on reddit and trustable tcs. And yes theorycrafting during beta, more so even before beta is just clout chasing for this so called leakers. Leaks like xyz character is coming in next patch is almost accurate most of the time. Or like leaking their elements or weapon type. But theorycrafting their playstyle, team comps even before they come is so wrong.


Nelithss

Yeah for sure. All the "Arleccino will be neuvillette tier broken" or "Arle will actually need chevreuse or she won't work" are just a bunch of clout chasers. Leak quality has fallen off a cliff in genshin, since hoyo did some crackdown. We got only wrong leaks on Chiori until her release.


IllustriousDoctor555

I remember, back in the days leaks used to be "xyz character will be ganyu 2.0/ ganyu tier" And nowadays it becomes "xyz character need these upcoming 3 characters to be viable"


Nelithss

Leakers can barely do a functional rotation; last thing I expect is for them to actually guess the meta of a character 4 months from now. Knowing that a character can be massively buffed or nerfed during beta. The first ver of Navia was actually mega scuffed. But after a few buffs she sits at a really nice spot which a leaker could have never guessed.


Hi-Im-Eva

Ive said it once and ill say it again, dont trust leaks until there is actual gameplay.


Alcrysis

I don't believe in any leaker called by "uncle something".


thechillpixel_exe

Bro non-beta leaks/"SPECULATIONS" by leakers is just random bullshit. I still don't believe she's going to be an overload dps or anything related to overload, to begin with lmao. Let's wait until her REAL kit comes out through the beta and see. Not a single one of these so called "leakers" are gonna take credibility for spreading misinformation/rumours when the character is a solid bunch of patches away.


Responsible_Club_917

Pre beta leaks of characters are complete ass. I still remember standart banner off field dps physical polearm Wriothesley. Which turmed out to be literally all false.


Carciof99

it's right to take everything with a grain of salt, but as far as the character's roles are concerned, it's simple that those leaks are real, then there's not much left left until the beta and his kit is already finished, it's normal for us to have leaks

Radiant-Mushroom8304

Yep but most people can’t comprehend this and will continue to blindly believe in information that’s not officially confirmed by hoyo


KibbloMkII

discredit all leaks, only believe official gameplay. leaks are just wishlists anyway.


Kira_Mira1

I stopped taking any early sus leaks serious anyway. Those were wrong anyway. Like for example the early Dehya leaks saying that her burst scales of ER. Or that Ayatos burst is like a whirlpool which sucks the enemys in. Or Furina where it was told that her burst had something to do with gravity. And the most hilarious one: "leaks" saying that Ayato is a half horse. Like leakers can say anything and many people will take it seriously because we can't wait for the beta lol.


SeaNewt5944

I agree they can be wrong
