so ig brother Al is pound for pound a better dps
Edit: It's a joke reply to a joke guys
LesserTierArchon2026-01-22 07:18
I think when it comes to premium team damage alhaitham/lauma/ineffa/columbina is straight up just stronger
did some miliastra dummy testing, I don't have lauma so I went with c2 ineffa/c2 columbina/c2 nahida/c1 alhaitham and even with one less constellation alhaitham contributed more damage than ineffa or columbina unlike the other lunar wheelchair teams where its just ineffa columbina doing all the damage
AverageCapybas2026-01-22 07:26
Honestly, Ineffa + Columbina makes such a difference in so many teams DPS that if you put VV on Varka it will be strong af anyway.
NamerNotLiteral2026-01-22 08:24
To be fair lauma/ineffa/columbina are just wheelchairing Al-Haitham in that team.
LesserTierArchon2026-01-22 08:33
the test dummy is out, go test yourself
I literally said alhaitham out of all 4 team members had the highest damage contribution
his original best team also has him with the highest damage contribution out of xingqiu, nahida and kuki
he is not doing 20% team damage in that team, he's doing 36%
> to be fair xingqiu/xiangling are just wheelchairing raiden in that team
> to be fair yelan is just wheelchairing hu tao in that team
to new players all they know is hypercarries they have no idea the first 3 years of the game have been dominated by multi core setups like this
NamerNotLiteral2026-01-22 08:39
>the test dummy is out, go test yourself
Once I click on the milliastra button I'm going to have to deal with militastra's red **!** marks forever, so unfortunately not.
And secondly, both Lauma and Columbina are *buffers* more so than prior 'wheelchair' characters. They're obviously going to buff the on-field DPS you're using and raise that character's contribution instead of having a high contribution by themselves.
exiler51292026-01-22 06:29
Both are more beefier than Itto btw.

Thats Itto, not Alhaitham
SteviaRogers2026-01-22 10:20
It’s both, one of them is just more egregious
BlueFHS2026-01-22 07:01
In hindsight I’d say Alhaitham is pretty lean, but not muscular. He has the abs, chest and some decent arms but it definitely pales in comparison by today’s standards. He was already outdone by the likes of Wriothesley in the thiccness department a while ago, and now Varka has outdone *everyone* lmao. To be fair though, Varka is the outlier with just how much of a *behemoth* of a man he is, I doubt we’ll ever see anyone quite like him again
musical_fanatic2026-01-22 08:04
Alhaitham is pretty much how I expected him to look but they did my boy itto so wrong
Serpentarrius2026-01-22 08:08

BobbyWibowo2026-01-22 14:28
I was told Capitano's NPC model is as tall as Varka, so they're probably about the same under his coat?
Dain is just lean since forever though, even in the 2D illustrations
BlueFHS2026-01-22 15:33
Capitano is around Varka’s height but he is leaner, not quite as muscular

Why just skin overhaul the older models too, I want everyone from the earliest and latest to look their best, that would only be fair
Martian_on_the_Moon2026-01-22 18:44
Yeah, they should do it.
If they want to support Genshin for 10-20 years, they gotta update models.
FancySociety992026-01-22 11:06
Itto's model needs to be updated. Cmon Hoyo, give him an event where he visits the Collective of the Plenty to get swole.

OMG I'm so stupid I thought u meant something different when you said "came out"...🫣

All the more reason to hound the team to update their older characters, overhaul Itto's model already

I'm betting it's not. Varka is just massive, both vertically and horizontally.

saykami2026-01-22 07:16
Alhaitham has arms for legs next to Varka 😭
AngryLink572026-01-22 16:30
Lol I was noticing that thigh gap on Alhaitham is just so..weird looking. Bro has a gap and thigh thickness that's usually reserved for anorexic girls.
JettFeather2026-01-22 17:35
Yeah the tall male model is just really weirdly proportionated, like why are their thighs so long? I cant unsee it anymore.
AngryLink572026-01-22 19:47
Bruh wtf, I didn't even think about that. I was in the middle of the game so I had to double check to make sure that Alhaitham actually has knee creases and it's not just a solid line and he really does have stupidly long thighs.
Running through my roster of tall males and holding my finger to the knee locations: Itto, Kaeya and Kaveh basically has the same thing but their baggy pants don't make it look so bad. Neuv is long but his outfit hides it. Ayato and Diluc are long. Strangely, ZL, Ororon and Ifa all have definitively more normal proportions, their knees are higher up than the other ones.
JettFeather2026-01-22 20:29
For Ifa and Ororon, it’s mostly because they started doing way more base model editing and whatnot- like the heads of 5.x characters are smaller compared to those pre 5.x. The model quality improved a lot, and that includes making them more proportional than before.
I think Varka’s thighs, while also a little long, are way less jarring because one, the man is a mountain, the bulk helps hide some of the weirdness of Genshin’s base models, but he also just has a different model and rigging to most units so they were able to adjust the model and animation rig to not look nearly as weird.
As for Neuv, his feels way less offputting because they cover a lot of the front of the model in his base outfit to hide the bending and how long he looks, especially in his ult animation. His ult uses a camera angle that makes it look like he’s floating and looking down on the viewer, but it makes his legs look really long- the bulk of his base outfit hides that so it doesn’t look like he’s 80% legs. The newer model uses the same animation on a model that only highlights the legs and makes him look long, so the ult where the bulk hide the awkwardness of the angle just looks funny now.
Zhongli’s model uses a trick similar to Neuv in that the panels over his legs hide how his thighs/knees look. His legs feel way more normal as a result. Plus, I feel nothing in his kit really highlights how weird the model looks like Neuv’s does. A lot of his more used animations are way more focused on his upper body instead, and his ult is from the waist up. His basic is really the only thing that has more leg focus, but he’s not really using that 90% of the time and he pulls his leg towards his chest, it helps hide it and also looks cool.
I feel like Childe might be the worst, his clothes don’t hide his legs at all (even Diluc gets his coat to make it look a little better from the back), and his pants are form fitting and make the lines more noticeable. However he also has the eyes of a dead fish that help draw attention to his face and get bullied over the lack of life in his eyes instead.
Dylangillian2026-01-22 21:57
They also all stand like they have scoliosis. Just look at their spine.

Nikleoudion2026-01-22 09:41

Freezing_Athlete20622026-01-22 10:23
he is definitely taller than 6' 0"

I'm glad Genshin Gepard has been eating well
Argentumhedgie2026-01-22 10:26
One of Varkas legs is the size of both of alhaithams I didn’t realise how drastically different Varka was. I hope they use his model again. And here I thought Wrio was as manly as they could manage.
Alhaitham compared to him looks like he has a female model with tweaks 😭
Luc1281282026-01-22 10:37

haitechan2026-01-22 10:57

Then in May, Varka fans gonna cry foul, begging for him to be 10th tall and wide.

I will take both at once at the same time.

Its so funny looking at Varka next to Wriothesley. I honestly thought that was as manly as we'll get

Is this actually in game? Or made up for a meme? (Haven't tested the male models)
Axheron2026-01-22 15:34
This is more like women that are 5'11" tall vs Men that are "6ft tall" 🤣🤣🤣 women try to downplay their height so men dont feel emasculated and men shorter than 6ft round up however many inches they need to say they're 6ft LOL
