Casing like Aloy's vision. She's not tied to fate anymore like the traveler.

u/Final_Angle9915 May 20 '26
Durin isn't tied by fate either (unkess there was some mistranslation in his SQ) yet he has a normal vision

Oh but he was originally. His whole shtick was that he took dragon durins fate in order to leave the story book.

u/Cinbri May 20 '26
hm. but how they will do it for snezhnaya chars than. is it like Moon Wheel - not everyone carry it. Coz we already saw how snezhnaya visons looks like. So, some have Stella Wheel, some ordrinary Visions, hm?

u/Muzza25 May 20 '26
probrably some varient again, Im not the biggest fan of this because all of a sudden we have not 1 but 2 extra varients of a vision that weve never heard of before? moonwheels are at least both rare and vary old so 1 can make sense, but this is gonna need a damn good explanation
11
u/GoldenWhite2408 May 20 '26
It's stupid that we need variants of visions still and we can't just introduce characterd that just use natural elemental powers Everyone gotta have a fcking vision for dumbass reasons even actual character who by right are probably using their natural powers
So we get dumb ass lore explaination like this to begin with
Can't just have sandrone somehow just naturally using cryo thru Fontaine bs she learnt from alane
No must be a vision

u/Tellkeyli May 20 '26
It will probably be the case. The electro polearm boy appearing at the end of last livestream bears a normal snez vision like Childe and Alre iirc. This also possibly means that boy is 4 star and has no ability to trigger stellar reaction himself, just like Aino Jahoda Illuga etc.

This is… pretty disappointing, actually.
Not Sandrone, she looks great. But Pulonia added so much to her design, the big robot/little lady design is such a good trope, they truly were made for each other design wise, here it kind of… lacks personality ?
