Massive body on small legs reminds me Seed from ZZZ
Alarming_Narwhal67452026-01-18 01:28
Words cannot describe how much I love Pulonia.. PLEASE LET HIM PLAY LIKE AN AC FROM ARMORED CORE, IM BEGGING YOU HOYO
Alone-Ad-45632026-01-18 04:13
Exactly this, Pulonia is love, Pulonia is life
leakmydata2026-01-18 05:08
My copium is that the reason we had that segment where we search for books as pulonia is to bug test his playability.
IMakeBoomYes2026-01-18 08:27
SAME.
The reading bits was just a BONUS.
ShinyGrezz2026-01-18 15:56
Could be if his playability involves him walking around slowly.
leakmydata2026-01-18 16:59
All playable characters are capable of walking around slowly.
ShinyGrezz2026-01-18 17:29
True, but I somehow doubt that they needed to test that. For clarity I *fucking hope* Pulonia is playable, he's my GOAT, but I don't think that section hints much either way in terms of bug testing - the *only* thing it could indicate is that they already had a Pulonia walk cycle prepared for some reason, as otherwise it does seem like a lot of effort to go to for a very small section of the AQ.
leakmydata2026-01-18 17:52
Then why not just have Sandrone playable during that segment?
GameFreak43212026-01-18 05:53
I remember when the "Winter Night's Lazzo" trailer dropped people were guessing that the big robot was the real harbinger and the girl was a decoy.
On a semi related note, until just now I thought the word was "Lazlo".
Spoopy_Kirei2026-01-18 09:24
Coincidentally in the story, the girl was the decoy and big robot ended up being the real one.
GG35bw2026-01-18 10:41
The notebook Arle left for us in our room also has Pulonia's backstory.
paradox_valestein2026-01-18 06:49
Just imagine we get sandrone jumping into a mech as her ult lmao. That would be PEAK
Shmarfle472026-01-18 07:03
Someone reskin Seed and Seed Sr. in ZZZ as Sandrone and Pulonia please

*Sandfull Droneshine*
Axheron2026-01-18 13:44
Im fully expecting Clara/Svarog type gameplay with just ridiculous amounts of Geo application to drive those Crystallize reactions. Im expecting kit-wise, Sandrone/Pulonia will be either Lunar Navia or just straight up Navia powercreep.
LivingASlothsLife2026-01-18 01:37
It'll be Sandrone with Pulonias combat moveset
TrashySheep2026-01-18 02:01
Sandrone elemental burst summon chad buttler to deal physical damage trust. As for Sandrone, unsure about electro or anemo
Physical-Command21302026-01-18 07:07
I feel like geo
Gregamonster2026-01-18 07:09
Electro. She's a robot.
Also if she's going to have a physical burst she'll want Superconduct.
MooseKens2026-01-18 02:22
"Pulonia! Do somethin'!"
Frustrella2026-01-18 02:24
"Pulonia! Obliterate his balls!"
Tainted_Bruh2026-01-18 04:15
“~~Abelard~~Pulonia, inform these peasants of their worthlessness!”
mephyerst2026-01-18 15:37
"Pulonia! crease his Jordans"
ResurgentClusterfuck2026-01-18 06:21
Ashe in Sandrone's outfit would be decent
theallseeingpotato2026-01-18 08:44
"I saw you on a wanted poster with a cute guy!"
"Ugh! Tell me you don't mean Dottore"
"Ew! No! The tall one with the hat!"
"Oh Pelonia! Hehe, I'll tell him you said hello!"
CapableTear17642026-01-18 03:04
I know this is meant as a joke, but I really hope we get a duel kit where its Sandrone and Pulonia. Like you use her skill or burst and she calls in Pulonia to fight. Surely thats why we got to play as Pulonia for that short segment. To test him out
Similar to how Seed's works in ZZZ at minimum
YJ-732026-01-18 04:09
Imagine Sandrone summons him like Ashe and Bob from Overwatch
LunarLoom212026-01-18 09:56
We probably get him as an overworld exploration mechanic
redditaccount_0022026-01-18 05:35
Like Annie from League of legends
GG35bw2026-01-18 10:52
Haven't played LoL in ages but isn't Tibbers just normal summon?
Aren't you thinking of Rexxar & Misha from Heroes of the Storm?
But I think the author of the comment you reply to meant literally switching between Sandrone and Pulonia. Like you switch modes with Furina but having two distinct models (maybe Sandrone's skills would be exploration only like summoning Pulonia to sit in his palm, increasing movement speed and Pulonia would have actual combat abilities)
Some are also suggesting entering Pulonia like a mech for Q's duration, like Tychus can in Heroes of the Storm.
Throwaway-_-Anxiety2026-01-18 16:57
Make it like meepo with aghanims
TonkzJr2026-01-18 06:54
Hear me out. They revive Physical.
Adding Sandrone to your party takes 2 slots - Sandrone and Pulonia.
Pulonia does really good Physical DMG, Sandrone is his best support.
K6fan2026-01-18 18:56
Make Lunar "Cryo" at that for Shatter+Superconduct Bineffa synergy
Physical-Command21302026-01-18 07:09
Or better Sandrome just turns into pulonia like Firefly into SAM
a_boy_with_a_dream2026-01-18 16:10
When hoyo first showed Lyney and Lynette [5 years ago](https://youtu.be/TAlKhARUcoY?si=C-GLFvq5wrYTFl7p) i thought they would be a duel kit as well, now i want to see how hoyo will pull the wanderer's treatment to Sandrone
Purifier1452026-01-18 03:09
"We are neither Sandrone nor Pulonia! We are, Sandonia!
Zonnebloempje2026-01-18 08:57
Puldrone?
KineticKurt2026-01-18 03:15
Quite the kitbash there
Levitoy12026-01-18 03:16
Sandrone will be a dedicated lunar crystallize support for zibai. Trust
Martian_on_the_Moon2026-01-18 04:19
While it would be interesting, it would quite worrying as Zibai is calculated to be on par with Flins or Nefer teams while being more F2P friendly. Add Sandrone to her team and the powercreep would be noticeable.
What Nod Krai needs is reverse-melt and superconduct teams.
CristevePeachFan2026-01-18 04:45
Then she needs to heal, because if she replaces Gorou or Zhongli that team will just die lol
(It wouldn't be a shield since Columbina C1 gives one already)
Martian_on_the_Moon2026-01-18 12:04
I somewhat doubt she will be part of it.
If you look at Hoyo's patterns, you can notice how they are releasing characters (which form a proper team) one after another if it is possible. Let me show you some examples:
- Emilie (4.8) then Kinich (5.0) - where burn reaction is required to buff characters
- Xilonen (5.1) then Mavuika and Citlali (5.3) - melt team
We got Aino for free in Luna 1 to allow Lunar reaction, then she got replaced by Columbina in Luna 4. This scenario cannot be applied to Illuga, especially since we didn't had such thing in the past. Itto is still paired with Gorou, Wanderer with Faruzan, Varesa with Iansan.
There is also Durin (Luna 3) who has yet to get future character tailored to him but if Varka is in next patch (Luna 5) then it is just one patch of wait. Lohen and/or Nicole (both Luna 6?) might be part of Varka's team which will finalize it. This leaves us with three patches left where one should belong to Sandrone. At that point it would be already too late for her to be part of Zibai's or Columbina's teams. She is gonna be part of new team.
What team? There are 3 patches left so we will have either one or two dedicated teams if Nicole is made not only for Varka but also reverse-melt cryo character. I somewhat assume we will get Sandrone will be electro character (Mount Esus expansion?) made for superconduct, Snowland Fae will be cryo (this faction was skipped so far and Flins is part of Lightkeepers) made for reverse melt while last one might be also cryo character but for superconduct/physical. That could be Capitano considering that we were told by devs that we will go back to Natlan to partially explore Mare Jivari, where Bakunawa is. There is also Pyro Gnosis yet to be dealt with.
This could conclude Lunar patches.
Marinesneaux2026-01-18 03:19
Theyre gonna be like ferra torr from mortal kombat. Perhaps like big daddy and little sister from bioshock
odaxsaku2026-01-18 03:20

WHAT IF SANDRONE COMES OUT AND SHE CAN FIGHT LIKE POLUNONIA, and her ultimate allows her to use the big mech Polunia orrr combine the attacks
Due_StrawMany2026-01-18 03:57
Obviously Pulonia is going to be Sandrone's stand
paradox_valestein2026-01-18 06:51
Hope she rebuild pulonia as her mech and hop in during burst like armored core lol
Marun-chan2026-01-18 04:01
ed.... ward....
Porkfight2026-01-18 04:11
I want sandrone NA to be like clara from hsr , where she doesnt attack and its just pulonia doing essentially the wombo combo and sandrone providing small kicks and shit or just looking cool
starmadeshadows2026-01-18 04:18
i would actually roll for this
meeperdoodle2026-01-18 04:20
I would swipe for pulonia, it'd also 100% get two of my friends to play again
six_seasons2026-01-18 05:03
Assuming this ages well, I wonder if/how they'll work pulonia into her kit
NyxAquarious2026-01-18 05:22
pulodrone
BlackTemplarKNB2026-01-18 05:23
it will probably take some time to fix her
KingShere2026-01-18 05:54
My inference and hypothesis for these characters
1 Geo - **Illuga**
2 Anemo- Knight of Boreas **Varka**
3 Pyro -**Nicole** (amnesiac Koitar) -mute due to oversinging.
4 Dendro -**Linnea** (advisor of Nod Krai's adventure guild
5 Geo -**Sandrone** v2 with Pulonia as a floating mini helper (androids can be repaired)
5 Geo -**Zibai** (only seen partly in the reflection).
Regarding Nicole, My impression (and vague memory from a text) Is that Alice busted her out since the heavenly principle had been innactive and when Alice met this her -her old identity had forgotten her own name, and lost her voice due to her past constant singing.
The stories she writes allows her to unconciously access her forgotten ancient memories as source of inspiration and its due this familarity that lost & sealed information can flood out. Alice then gave the voiceless memory wiped koitar the name Nicole. So its another variant memory loss on a ancient entity (Comparable to Furina and Nahida) and getting a new identity.

dennisleonardo2026-01-18 15:49
I mean, I think it's pretty obvious that it's a rebuilt sandrone. Like, obviously. She's robot and they've made a whole deal about her core still being intact. There's literally nothing stopping some expert from rebuilding her and pulonia. Maybe pulonia even has her blueprints as a back-up plan in case she gets destroyed.
healcannon2026-01-18 20:27
I like both but I like Sandrone more. Obviously it makes sense he is who we use in combat instead of her but that just means even less Sandrone.
reallygoodbee2026-01-19 02:22
"We can rebuild her. We have the technology."
bae_is_young2026-01-19 06:02
SANDRONE AND PULONIA (I knew I had to get this duo since that harbingers trailer)
HOW LONG ARE WE WAITING FOR AAAAAAA
I WAITED SO LONG AND THIS ZANDIK JUST DESTROY HER AAAAAAAAAA
anyway whatever playstyle she gets, i hope one of it is to walk around with pulonia holding sandrone (just like the trailer)
Whether it's clara playstyle or firefly playstyle? (HSR)
Both, both is good ehe
Inner_Skin_7982026-01-20 01:04
Pulonia will be part of Sandrone’s elemental skill. She’ll call upon him to launches those powerful missiles at enemies. Trust.

Also if she's going to have a physical burst she'll want Superconduct.
