3x3 favored character checkpoint
# happy 2026!
I saw u/[UnfairMess249](https://www.reddit.com/user/UnfairMess249/) post this to [r/HuTao\_Mains](https://www.reddit.com/r/HuTao_Mains/), and felt to have my own fun with it. I totally relate to the entire matrix being your favorite character. 'Tis only right, one may say.

**Fischl** is obviously all of these for me, but I need the post to be interesting, and so I've chosen some secondary and tertiary preferences. Shoutout r/Fischl!
**Lauma** is "*pulled character for design alone*" because I love and identify with their **hippie fae elf** theme, and also love **antlers**, and it has nothing to do with how poor health the r/LaumaMains sub-Reddit and general community perception of the character is.
I also considered **Layla** for "*comfort character,*" and director **Hu Tao**, **Amber** and briefly **Collei** for "*favorite personality.*" I was also trying to fit **Dehya** in my head, but they simply are topped, despite my love.

RIP me, RIP you, RIP them, again and again.
*Reason I began playing* : **Raiden Ei**. I discovered Genshin through her character and started the game for her in 5.0 (I wanted just her at that time, didn't care of Natlan region at all... and I lost my 50/50.)
*Comfort character* : **Zhongli**. No matter why, when I pulled Zhong in 5.2, my life changed. Since then, when I need comfort, when I need a shielder because an enemy hits too hard, I bring the old gramp. I never learnt to dodge.
*Love at first Sight* : **Skirk** I could have said Raiden because she is my "first love", but I'm honest here. I never felt so moved and hyped by the design of any other fictional character than Skirk. Love at first sight. She stole my heart in one second. (But Ei remains my other wife)
*Never leaves my team* : **Skirk** I overplayed her everywhere since I pulled her. It's almost unfair for my Raiden so I needed to bench her a little bit lol to play again the electro archon. But if I choose another one, it is **Citlali.** She is everywhere. With Arle, with Skirk, with Neuvi...
*Triple crowned affection* Noone currently but certainly Raiden, Skirk, Keqing and Furina. (Maybe not triple for all but at least double crown for sure)
*Favorite NPC character* : Either Jeht, Zhiqiong or the thief girl we met in Nod Krai fatui base (Netochka iirc).
*Pulled character for design alone* :
- **Skirk**. Well not only for her stunning design actually since the trailers and her lore were also peak.
- Same for **Raiden**, her design alone is so peak (and also her trailer, her aura, her theme...)
*Favorite personality* :
Difficult one... Either Navia, Furina, Dehya or Beidou. Damn there is also Jahoda. And Fischl. I can't choose man.
*Strongly Favoured character* :
**Raiden** and **Skirk**. I will not choose between them. I love them equally.
I have been feeling like Skirk is a bit of a hype flop, because I feel like everyone was madly excited and now I don't see anyone playing them in my Coop scenarios, nor among my friend groups. It is as such nice to hear from you that they have their dedicated players, too!
Best wishes with your talent crowning. I feel it's often more of an unnecessary spending and effective *flaunting* to triple crown some characters. We do it out of love, often, I suppose!
It's sad, but if true Raiden and Skirk fans remain at the end, it will be for the better.
I also hope for true Mavuika fans the meta sheeps will find a new character to glaze so they could enjoy her finally for her true value.

Btw, I certainly can understand why you like Fischl... I mean she is my favorite 4*, and my second most favored electro character.
