How Genshin Hid the Final Element for 3 YEARS | Genshin Impact Theory

I hope you enjoy this new style of Genshin Impact theory video!
If you have any thoughts, concerns, or feedback, Please let me know!!!

Thank you for the support everyone! Much love!

i think the first new element's character should be dainslif.

I think the two new elements might actually just be enhancements to existing elements and reactions. They would t create double the already existing reactions. Maybe add some status effects, healing, increased AOE, durations, weaknesses, poison, general stat buffs. Sounds confusing, but just say that hydro and pyro will still do evaporate, but being aligned with light would increase physical attack; hydro and cryo will freeze, but aligned with dark will increase frozen duration or light will expand the AOE.

Now with that said, would it be cool to see the two initial elements being enhanced by the respective characters? I think so! Ie. Kokomi aligned with light and Ganyu aligned with dark = larger area to freeze for longer duration. Not that charge shooting all enemies with Ganyu is all that exciting, but would be a nice idea.

Just a thought on mechanics for Pneuma and Ousia, I know in Brave Frontier (god rest its soul) they had each of the elements interact with each other while Light & Dark only interacted with each other. I think this could work in Genshin with little to no affect in the complexity of gameplay for casual players, while the sweats could include it into buildcrafting with great success. Just have an "Annihilate" interaction where the damage is increased for the side applied last.

I want those Ganyu posters :0

One thought I had is what if the Tsaritsa wants revenge for kaenria'h? Celestia summond the seven to destroy it because it posed a threat to Celestia, and it wasn't until after kaenria'h had fallen that the Tsaritsa began collecting Gnoses. Childe has said the Tsaritsa is a gentle soul, so she may have held a grudge towards celestia for forcing them to destroy kaenria'h😳

LAST ELEMENT IS CRYO

i think Nuvellet is actualy the arcon due to his skill and burst being an amped up version of the travalers like it is in every other reagon.

I want Dainslief

Annihilation reaction.... sounds like Matter and Anti-matter Reactions

This means that every character will have a second element?

They always testing us
Did any remind the first beach event? There we were able to go by boat for the first time and then it was a main mechanic

So i believe they will give us this with the types too
We got a similar pattern In enkanomiya with the night and day change
So maybe the types are connected with enkanomiya

Plenty of examples of mechanics being based in one nation. This entire video is just speculation yall

Also in the chasm the interplay between the sludge and the light imbued crystals/things is showing the direct conflict between shadow and light so it's a good bet we're headed toward more direct inclusion of entities that wield those powers.
It's far too much of a coincidence that imaginary is directly connected to light, and quantum to darkness in honkai.
Possibly also that in the outside universe (beyond the various worlds) theres just light and shadow interplay and that when you ENTER the various worlds those things are CHANGED into local variants (like quantum and imaginary in honkai)

honkai starrail also has quantum and imaginary

My simple guessing is cuz fontain is the land of "justice" and justice can be both light and black, right and wrong which is why the acron herself has 2 eyes each pointing at light and dark

Annihilation in physics sense refers to matter and anti-matter colliding and obliterating each-other.
The fact the devs used that term probably because it has a context shared between Pneuma and Ousia.
Anti-matter is the same as normal matter but with an opposite charge, meaning when the two interact they cancel each-other out.
Animation wise, Ousia releases energy/light, while Pneuma absorbs it.
Rather than Annihilating, its probably more akin to they combine to create life itself, hence the mechanical entities have both the absorption of Pneuma and the release of Ousia and act like living organisms rather than robotic movement.
Dainsleif having "Pneuma" element? could also tie into why the Heavenly Principles destroyed Khaenri'ah, if Khaenri'ans manipulated the energies that create life to empower themselves against the gods.
If thats the case, it probably ties in with why Fontaine has been utilizing Khaenri'an technology to create energy
Weird random thoughts :l

Omni & Abyssal

Omni is on Paimon, it’s also in card game

im basically sure that neuv is a dragon, they drop like 50 million hints in the story quest

I wonder if these correlate because they made sure to also mention this when you do chongyun’s hangout. He’s “full” of Yang energy. Which is what helps with his exorcisms.

=][{D

Don't forget the god of the moon and sun

Transform into a dragon 😂😂

I read that pneuma can mean creative drive--imagination? While ousia can mean being--quantifiable reality?

I like your cocogoat shirt

About genshin lores and details, islandXD, wei and cat with bluehat are the only who can be trusted on this planet

Respectfully, what did I miss. No Fire Archon?

I'm glad I stop by for this!

Nuvillatte is the Archon's Familier like Devalin of the Winds. He don't need Vision.

i like your shirt

Ousia actually means either substance or essence depending on condex

I would be an interesting way to shake up the meta. Put most of the meta-powerfull stuff on one side of the equation, put the less used characters on the other side of the equation. Thus the entire meta shifts drastically.

And what side of the equation a character is on does not have to be a stable thing. If they could switch characters from one side to the other with a simple switch in the engine, then if the meta is getting too stale, or too powerful, they could shift things around and force the meta to reshuffle. Without changing how a character plays or their strengths.

I suspect Neuvillette is the hydro dragon that’s why he has no vision 🙂

The fact why Neuvillete doesn't have a vision is because he's Furina's companion as archon.

I really think there will be another element: Time and Space
And who do you think is its archon?
Yeah it's Paimon.

When we saw our sibling they were using the dark element, meaning that they were once using the light element along with the sister, but they lost their power, so now they are learning other elements, one of the siblings already reached the end of their journey and unlocked the dark element while your sibling still has yet to reach the point of having to learn their light element, when you add a bunch of colors together you get black but you could also get light, coz you know, you got all the elements together, so perhaps dark and light will be thing after we learn ice, which is most likely the last one we will learn before light and dark elements.

Finally reaction with geo hehe

Explain your wall.

you forgot to mention that child has stopped using his vision. he handed it over to traveler in the beginning

venti doesnt have a vision.. just a fake one. same with zhongli because they are faking being a human and blending in. Raiden shogun tho does not have a vision so neuvillete will not be the first

Mind blown

hoyoverse to this guy be like:
HOYO:Bro your ruining the fun please stop 😭 stop using your brains you will get the ending of the game THERES AN ENDING STOP THIS FOR NOW!!!!!!!

There's lore in it but it is only exclusive to Fontaine characters/creatures. It doesn't even react to any other elements but themselves

Too bad if Daily s leaf becomes a playable character in the future,that he won't be a free five star for your trouble of completing that abyss order storyline

so Ousia is Reality as pneuma is Imaginary

It'll be interesting if u have to fight your other half.

I think if they add new elements there are gonna be other reactions with those elements and not with original 7

Yup, the fox minigame from 3.8 event also had the same controls as diving in Fontainie
