The Arlan disrespect makes me so sad 😭 I loved his design when I first saw him and wanted to use him, but they made his kit terrible... Hoyo better not botch Sugilite.
Honestly misha's design deserves more attention but my poor son is missing pants so ill give em that funfact misha is the only character currently with colored eyelashes, I thought jingyuan, robin and other character had colored eyelashes but I was wrong just misha currently
This is more of a general popularity contest more than anything I personally would pick sunday's design (the new one), just because how much subtle details is put into it: The eye/order rings on the fingers , the yin and yang like duality between the blue and white in his torso, the halo and all the eyes simbolizing the order and his ideals, the slightest hint of bright blue in the center of his golden eyes , the black gloves , winged ears and their piercings, the golden robes and colors that really compliment his overall white-blue design There is just so much compressed into a single outfit
@@kian-ganji The thorns on his outfit are also only on the white side, which I think is meant to represent his past self. Also his halo having thorns on it essentially mimicking a crown of thorns.
This may be a hot take, but I really don't like Sunday's new outfit. He did need a different one than his original, but the new one just doesn't fit him? Sunday is supposed to be a fugitive yet he's wearing a very loud outfit with its patterns and very bright, striking colors. Then again, HSR LOVES to add lots of subtle details in their designs (almost to a fault). I don't even know what I would change, so not a very helpful reply 😆 I'm glad others like his outfit since there are a lot of cool details in it.
@ Technically, he was using The Harmony for the most part to conceal himself and if they gave him an outfit a fugitive would wear people would call it basic or boring. His outfit still needs to be eye catching enough to sell to people so there isn’t much to do except make him use The Harmony instead of an outfit. It also seems that outside of Penacony and other Family territory Sunday doesn’t need to worry much about being caught, like Dan Hen with the Xianzhou Alliance.
Tbh I think a lot of the voters picked based on how much they like the character in general (personality wise, how much they enjoyed them in the story, etc etc) instead of solely based on design. See: Luka being on the bottom despite having a super cool robot arm, and it's likely because he's a bit of a forgotten character who's only really had his moment during the wardance which is an optional event, so. Also justice for Arlan. Carrying the dark-skinned community single-handedly. Also the scar on his face??? Hello??? Do people not dig scars??? TT
I think Kafka's spot was more biased, too. Like come on, her design is NOT better than Robin's or Aventurine's. I like her design, too, but it isn't the best one imo.
@@Iristhe3rd I think their designs are far more comparable in quality than people give them credit for. All 3 are insanely clever, all have perfect colour pallets, all have a motif that they stick to perfectly and that makes total sense for the character, all of them are literally wearing their character on their sleeves in a sense. Any of the three coulda been the no.1 spot and I woulda been totally fine with it, not my personal pick for best design but I totally get why all 3 are loved as much as they are. It just comes down to preference really
Let's look at Luka , design wise only . I saw a typical shounen protagonist . He looks better than Arlan and Misha sure , but if we compare him to 5* , I dont think Luka looks better than anyone , even when compared to Welt or Yan Qing . Plain cloth , punk rock vibe , alright color scheme , not classy at all kinda kill it for me especially when compare to another 4* male character like Gallager . And Arlan , ah yeah, the guy just looks like npc , when it come to design, he and Misha are on the same level, plain , bland and unremarkable . They're actually worse design wise when compare to actual Npc like Siobhan .
@@Iristhe3rd nah, Kafka definitely deserves being called best design. The colour scheme and the way they blend the spider motif with the classic femme fatale trope she's based on, it's just really good. The only nitpick is the stupid mismatched boots but ig you can't be perfect. Aventurine and Robin are very good, but I don't think they match Kafka, especially given the way her spider motif plays with the overarching narrative of her and the MC, as if we're trapped in the web of fate and she's the one manipulating it. Ironically, I think the only other characters that have an argument for best design are the Astral Express crew members, their designs are all amazing and people give them less credit than they're due because we see them all the time.
I love how my Top 3 characters in terms of design is right at the bottom of Top 20. I just resonate so much with Black Swan's alluring design (she's meant to be sexy which I see it but there's air of elegance in her design). Fu Xuan has my favorite color palette in the game. Argenti is just fabulous all around.
Same like out of all the character so far like Black Swan by far the sexist and her en VA and elegance just all enhance it. Kinda forget about her at times but every time I see her like damn she looks good XD
Misha design is great. Arlan is not though. Way too simple and boyish for a security manager. Ridiculous. Would deter ANYONE from violating security guidelines.
@@benjaminroe311ify I mean, fair enough. I do think his purple eyes, ashy hair, and darker skin are really striking together, but his actual outfit is rather basic
Bro Jade's design is totally underrated. I mean, the snakes, the apple, the contracts, her whole design is based on a beautiful woman who represents the devil
i don't necessarily hate jade because we don't have a lot of her yet but i do prefer her ipc fit on one of the ipc myriad celestia trailers, her normal fit reminds me too much of K/DA which is fine but it can be better.
majority of the guys picked the female MC , majority of the girls also picked the female MC , so the outcome was predictable and also remember this poll doesn't voice the majority , there are plenty of players who loves and appreciates him for what he is just like you, though he is underappreciated by the community doesn't mean he is unworthy , he will get his time to shine very soon
I mean idk , he's kinda ugly ? Even if he's the meta and strongest character in the game , with that design , I wouldn't pull for him . I can say that he's not far worse than Misha , but they're both pretty much at the bottom , clothing design wise they both almost look like an npc , worse than Siobhan which is an actual npc .
I remember back in the early days of HSR, people were saying that Tingyun is by far the prettiest girl and that's just her 4* version. It's no wonder Fugue went on to have a beautiful design (thanks Ruan Mei for providing it).
Oh absolutely from the moment she appeared in the xianzhou quest I was just waiting for her release. Her two colored hair is so cool, and her outfit is just *chefs kiss*
Didn't expect her to be very high, but It baffles me that Clara is so low on the list. Not only does she have the bloody white rabbit aesthetic, but she comes equipped with an actual gun slave unit (see No Guns Life). She (and a few others in the lower half of the list) are crazy underrated. Maybe if she only had shoes...
Welt being ranked so low is just criminal. My grandpa is STYLISH, and you CANNOT tell me otherwise!!! >:( And Herta being so low is just messed up. Madam Herta is a peerless gem. Madam Herta is an unrivaled genius. Madam Herta is an inimitable beauty. With all that in mind, for Herta to be ranked below characters like Moze and Lil Gui just ain't right.
I think firefly is way too high. When I first met her I thought she was an NPC. Sam looks cool but it should be a separate design from Firefly. (Just like how Hunt March looks better than OG MArch). Although the top 2 is a spot on.
but the whole thing with firefly is that she wears the mecha, the "real" design is SAM. Personally, i really like how she can convey being really fragile and rather normal outside of combat and transform into a butterfly themed murder robot
@@lilianmesmo no otherwise we would 100% play as only Sam. Outside of battle you still control Firefly. I think they should be placed differently, just like Hunt/Preservation March or Tinguyn/Fugue. Same character, different outfits.
Luka bottom 5?! Now that’s an absolute travesty! His red hair/blue eyes combo, his badass robot arm, his ripped shirt and his even more ripped physique like people were absolutely down bad for his light cone and I don’t blame them.
Try to compare him to other male characters , yeah he's better than Arlan and Misha for me , but definitely not better than all other male characters .
Even though I'm a firefly fan, I find her waifu design somewhat uninteresting, but her mech suit is so fucking cool, especially the green flames that become wings during her ult, its just awesome. And its the contrast between the cute anime girl and the badass sam design that I love.
i think this is definitely more of a general popularity contest than a design contest- some of these characters are a little high i think, and some are too low. people tend to have problems separating their affection towards the character and the design level.
I have an argument for Aventurine being the best visual design in the game. I could go off on a yap but essentially with many HSR characters you can’t help but wonder why they dress the way they do. What compels them to get up and dress like they do every morning. He just simply doesn’t have that problem, as he communicates visual information better than any character in the game.
@@nico_nicks Yeah there are faults. I mainly like her facial structure and some elements of the outfit that make it resemble clouds. I'm usually not one for white and blue. but with her green hair it works well
This may just be cause I'm (self proclaimed)Luka's #1 fan, but he does NOT deserve to be near the bottom- His design is actually so cool and genius at the same time, like they said in the video *he literally has a metal prosthetic arm*, that's sick what the heck man, but hes literally fire themed when he wants to bring hope to the planet that's yknow, *stuck in eternal winter*. Give my man more love 😭
Even if IL has more details, I prefer OG Dan Heng. The color palette and accessories are limited but I actually like that more. He also has my second favorite weapon design - and it actually shows up a lot with a lot of emphasis on it, so that's great! (my favorite is Jing Yuan's weapon). The only thing I dislike about it is the weird bit of fabric he has on the front of his jacket. Kafka deserved that though. I like that her design doesn't follow the trend of a lot of other female characters (ie arms and shoulders and legs exposed. I'm not a purist, I'm just kind of tired of it)
I’m surprised Aventurine isn’t higher. His outfit is really good, then he’s got the most skin potential with HOW EXTENSIVE AND FASHIONABLE his wardrobe has been. I’m happy he’s high~^^
my man Argenti being so low is CRIMINAL although I'm probably bias because I prefer Genshin character designs more then the other Hoyo games although I do think the basic hair color, outfit colors, and hair styles that the Hsr team manages to make really pop out for most of the designs for characters in the game is very impressive but I personally don't think Ruan mei or Fugue should be as high as they are (Also I'd love it if Sampo got a more thieve or gambler centered skin)
The thing about the Kafka design is it almost seemed or seems cliche... because it is but they did cliche soooo well with the motifs they used for her that she became ICONIC. I can guarantee that long after people forget HSR they will still remember Kafka.
Huge bias towards 5 stars, I seriously believe March 7th, Guinaifen, Asta or even Sushang could deserve being in top 20. (for instance, Sushang being 53 is so weird, like people forgot she even exists, Asta is even worst in 64th position, I mean I'm not biased towards her and Sushang but they both seems very low) so I agree with other comments this looks more like a "strength popularity" rather than design
I think the only one I'm really surprised by is how high up Herta and Algaea are. I would have thought they'd both be lower then they are over some other characters.
To be fair, how ‘pretty’ you find them is considered too, not just the outfits. Herta isn’t my favourite _outfit design_ but I definitely find her to be the prettiest (and I know a lot of people do too)… same with Ruan Mei too, I love her eyes, her colour palette, everything, but that outfit is mehhhh. But considering both factors, Feixiao is probably #1 for me (and Kafka has been a fan favourite since the beginning)
I person think that Rappa should be in the top 20, very surprised that she ranked as no. 50. I love her scarf design with the fiery graffiti and her punk aesthetic mixed with the ninja designs. I'm not a Rappa main, but I do love her character and her design.
@@shiozaki_mai Yes! That moment was cool because of the lance. Ooooh the music starting when that thing started glowing. It also being an homage to the Kslanas, the PTB deserves all the love.
my fav designs are actually pela, hanya, serval, yanqing, guinaifen, dan heng il im so surprised they all are so low. especially hanya she's so gorgeous
Pela and Misha in the bottom 5? Absolute slander! I love the Silvermane motif on many of the Belobog characters, though I will say that Pela's is probably the least impressive out of them. And Misha's design is perfect for his role in the story. The resemblance to the Watchmaker, the obviously bellboy outfit, the boarding pass for the Express on his outfit that all the Nameless have. Hook and Luka aren't that bad design-wise imo, but I can understand why they didn't rank high. Arlan I feel is just visually mismatched in a lot of ways. The scar is usually associated with tough guys, which doesn't really match his image. I also think the scar would've looked better with darker hair and a darker outfit (I think swapping all the white parts in his design for black or purple would look a lot better)
i think some people thought this was popularity instead of design because why is misha so low?? pela??? LUKA??????? hello guys what are we doing theres nothing wrong with their designs
honestly . on a surface level I find therta and ruan mei's designs "good" but they just don't fit the characters at all.... also I like kafka's design cuz it appeals to my asexual brain because it shows no skin
This tier list seems to be more about character popularity than visual design, which is unfortunate. The fact that Stelle scored 6.9 while Caelus scored 'only' 5.9 is probably the biggest giveaway since their designs are essentially the same. The only major difference is that one has long hair while the other wears pants, and I doubt that alone made such a significant gap in their scores. It's a shame.
I kinda don't really like her design tbh , it's look so busy , way too busy , while I like her character/personality that I have seen so far . maybe the color too is the factor , everything is too white , maybe add more purple tint would make it look better .
Boothill over firefly caught me by surprise as I had her much higher but NO OBJECTION to nr 1. Kafka just screams mature mystically dangerous woman. Few characters made me pull just because of design but kafkas trailer just 😮😮😮😮
This list makes sense if people are rating their favorites but as a best design list this is a mess. Robin, Sunday and Acheron are look kinda boring so it’s a little amazing seeing all three in the top 20 while the literal poster character got edged out of the top 20. Hook being in the bottom 5 is a travesty when she’s one of the stronger and more unique visual designs in a sea of supermodels who don’t know how to dress themselves.
2:57 The changing moon phases from new to full moon on Jingliu’s bodice make me go insane omg like when I first saw her splash art before the game came out, I was already in love, but when I saw that I freaked out! It’s so satisfying to see in-game too 3:10 I both agree and disagree as someone who has both Ruan Mei and Jingliu in my top visual faves! I think the many small DNA elements to her design are so pretty and thoughtful. Honestly I was more surprised about Argenti and Black Swan being high, since to me their designs are quite plain (Black Swan’s animations are so what made me pull her) Also Serval and Lingsha being wayyyy lower than I expected is crazy
10:04 I love that the spreadsheet read March's name as a date and changed the formatting of the cell
My poor boy Arlan 😭 he’s just taking care of Peppy and doing his best.
Gotta agree on Kafka though. Can’t dethrone a classic
The Arlan disrespect makes me so sad 😭 I loved his design when I first saw him and wanted to use him, but they made his kit terrible... Hoyo better not botch Sugilite.
Right? He’s still easily one of my favorites, I just unfortunately get wrecked when I use him 🥲
Arlan rocking the first place spot as usual my king always on top
😤💪
Honestly misha's design deserves more attention but my poor son is missing pants so ill give em that
funfact misha is the only character currently with colored eyelashes, I thought jingyuan, robin and other character had colored eyelashes but I was wrong just misha currently
While I dislike kafka, I can't say the same about the drip.
Also, Aglaea is wearing himeko's drip without the jacket
I think Kafka's fine but I don't think she deserved #1
@midas7332 aglaea is the person who made himeko her dress 😭
i find Himeko, Fugue and Aglaea share some similarities in their outfit
Aglaea and Himeko wear similar dresses because they're both inspired by greek traditional clothing, which is famously very simple
@@NightingaleTheDetective that doesn't make any sense, how can himeko even enter Amphoreus?
This is more of a general popularity contest more than anything
I personally would pick sunday's design (the new one), just because how much subtle details is put into it:
The eye/order rings on the fingers , the yin and yang like duality between the blue and white in his torso, the halo and all the eyes simbolizing the order and his ideals, the slightest hint of bright blue in the center of his golden eyes , the black gloves , winged ears and their piercings, the golden robes and colors that really compliment his overall white-blue design
There is just so much compressed into a single outfit

Yukong, my love! How they gone done dirty to you. I love space mom.
shes cool but her desing is kinda tyngyun weird rip off
@@nico_nicks Yeah there are faults. I mainly like her facial structure and some elements of the outfit that make it resemble clouds.
I'm usually not one for white and blue. but with her green hair it works well
Yukong's design can best be summed up as "a truly startling lack of pants" and I think that may have impacted her ratings.
This may just be cause I'm (self proclaimed)Luka's #1 fan, but he does NOT deserve to be near the bottom- His design is actually so cool and genius at the same time, like they said in the video *he literally has a metal prosthetic arm*, that's sick what the heck man, but hes literally fire themed when he wants to bring hope to the planet that's yknow, *stuck in eternal winter*. Give my man more love 😭
black swan they dont deserve you 💔
fr shes prettier than ruan mei :,]
That's not even Black Swan's true form LMAO that's her mental image of her mother.
Misha, Arlan, and Luka being at the bottom is a hate crime against me specifically
For kafka its also the noir vibes her design gives, its like something youd see out of a noir film and not a gacha game
Even if IL has more details, I prefer OG Dan Heng. The color palette and accessories are limited but I actually like that more. He also has my second favorite weapon design - and it actually shows up a lot with a lot of emphasis on it, so that's great! (my favorite is Jing Yuan's weapon). The only thing I dislike about it is the weird bit of fabric he has on the front of his jacket.
Kafka deserved that though. I like that her design doesn't follow the trend of a lot of other female characters (ie arms and shoulders and legs exposed. I'm not a purist, I'm just kind of tired of it)
100% agree
@@Saga_Anserum naah il is better
@ Why?
March not being on the list is a crime.
She's now March 21st 🥲
I’m surprised Aventurine isn’t higher. His outfit is really good, then he’s got the most skin potential with HOW EXTENSIVE AND FASHIONABLE his wardrobe has been. I’m happy he’s high~^^
Argenti not being higher is criminal
my man Argenti being so low is CRIMINAL although I'm probably bias because I prefer Genshin character designs more then the other Hoyo games although I do think the basic hair color, outfit colors, and hair styles that the Hsr team manages to make really pop out for most of the designs for characters in the game is very impressive but I personally don't think Ruan mei or Fugue should be as high as they are (Also I'd love it if Sampo got a more thieve or gambler centered skin)
The thing about the Kafka design is it almost seemed or seems cliche... because it is but they did cliche soooo well with the motifs they used for her that she became ICONIC. I can guarantee that long after people forget HSR they will still remember Kafka.
ok, i get the top 20 but HOW IS PELA BOTTOM 5??? HER DESIGN IS SO GOOD i guess most people voted with hotness in mind, i'm genuinely flabberghasted
BOOTHILL MENTIONED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
also what Clara does so low????????????? Baby girl is so pretty my gosh!!
nah how is arlan, hook, pela, and luka in last when moze exists. pela has one of the cutest designs imo
I don't even really like Moze an overwhelming amount, but he is *CLEAN.* I have no idea what you're talking about. I agree otherwise, though.
Huge bias towards 5 stars, I seriously believe March 7th, Guinaifen, Asta or even Sushang could deserve being in top 20. (for instance, Sushang being 53 is so weird, like people forgot she even exists, Asta is even worst in 64th position, I mean I'm not biased towards her and Sushang but they both seems very low) so I agree with other comments this looks more like a "strength popularity" rather than design
The audacity to have Clara that low 😭
shes a child
@nico_nicks Uhhh what does that change?
Probably because her design is too bland my only favorite about her design is her red cardigan and white fluffy hair.
I think the only one I'm really surprised by is how high up Herta and Algaea are. I would have thought they'd both be lower then they are over some other characters.
Herta, I agree but Agaea? hell no. She should be higher
To be fair, how ‘pretty’ you find them is considered too, not just the outfits. Herta isn’t my favourite _outfit design_ but I definitely find her to be the prettiest (and I know a lot of people do too)… same with Ruan Mei too, I love her eyes, her colour palette, everything, but that outfit is mehhhh. But considering both factors, Feixiao is probably #1 for me (and Kafka has been a fan favourite since the beginning)
I think it’s how new they are
Recency bias cough
Koomaxx never beating the robot simp allegations
I like characters from 20-10 more than the top 10 😂
1:32 Argenti IS in fact, one of the most unique male characters in hsr, and we all know why. He’s not an imaginary unit.
Silver Wolf not being top 10 is criminal
most legit opinion, i thought for a sec what would be the best design as objective as possible and thought of silver wolf
I person think that Rappa should be in the top 20, very surprised that she ranked as no. 50. I love her scarf design with the fiery graffiti and her punk aesthetic mixed with the ninja designs. I'm not a Rappa main, but I do love her character and her design.
How about ranking characters' weapons?
@@Jackie_Tikki_Tavi oh, thats actually interesting. but id be amazed if those gunblades aren't at the top or at least very near it
I think a poll of the best Aeon designs would also be good, the best god designs I have seen in a gacha game so far
@Moonlite_Kitsune delicious axe
TRAILBLAZERS LANCE IS SO FIRE
@@shiozaki_mai Yes! That moment was cool because of the lance. Ooooh the music starting when that thing started glowing.
It also being an homage to the Kslanas, the PTB deserves all the love.
whoever made dr ratio 27th an huo huo 35th IM COMING FOR YOU WATCH OUT
FR RATIO IS SO FUCKING HANDSOME DASNKLDJHSHFW
I honestly was really surprised that Dr Ratio didn't make it to the top 20
my fav designs are actually pela, hanya, serval, yanqing, guinaifen, dan heng il
im so surprised they all are so low. especially hanya she's so gorgeous
I GAVE HOOK A 10 YALL ARE SO DISGRACEFUL. How dare you disrespect our Pitch Dark Hook The Great 😤
i domt get why y'all don't like caelus's design as much. i think it can still compete with the curreng ones lol
WHY IS MISHA AND ARLAN LAST IM GONNA TWEAK OUT
MY GIRL PELA???? HELLO?? Her design is SOOO PRETTY
How come Pela and Misha are so low wtf 😭They’re so cute
Pela and Misha in the bottom 5? Absolute slander! I love the Silvermane motif on many of the Belobog characters, though I will say that Pela's is probably the least impressive out of them. And Misha's design is perfect for his role in the story. The resemblance to the Watchmaker, the obviously bellboy outfit, the boarding pass for the Express on his outfit that all the Nameless have.
Hook and Luka aren't that bad design-wise imo, but I can understand why they didn't rank high.
Arlan I feel is just visually mismatched in a lot of ways. The scar is usually associated with tough guys, which doesn't really match his image. I also think the scar would've looked better with darker hair and a darker outfit (I think swapping all the white parts in his design for black or purple would look a lot better)
Y’all chose Kafka?! Well ok then. I totally forgot I pulled her-
Silver Wolf got snubbed..
Misha being one of the lasts is a CRIME. Just by his design alone, the whole plot of penacony can be spoiled
Can't believe Acheron made it higher than Silver Wolf
i think some people thought this was popularity instead of design because why is misha so low?? pela??? LUKA??????? hello guys what are we doing theres nothing wrong with their designs
Imo design wise Misha is bland , Pela kinda alright but average , and Luka is just typical shounen .
March just missing out on top 20 is criminal
honestly . on a surface level I find therta and ruan mei's designs "good" but they just don't fit the characters at all.... also I like kafka's design cuz it appeals to my asexual brain because it shows no skin
This tier list seems to be more about character popularity than visual design, which is unfortunate. The fact that Stelle scored 6.9 while Caelus scored 'only' 5.9 is probably the biggest giveaway since their designs are essentially the same. The only major difference is that one has long hair while the other wears pants, and I doubt that alone made such a significant gap in their scores. It's a shame.
the different is one is wearing pants and another is a miniskirt ? that's a big gap .
@@Koyuki_Yukihime Not to mention the hair is completely different, that does a lot for a design
LINGSHA AT 44??? Ill never forgive yall that woman is gorgeous
Lingsha oh my gosh shes so beautiful 😭😭
budget sparkle
if it's not due to my lack of 5* healer , I wouldn't pull for her .
Her design is so bland , but her kit is just worth it .
her design is lowkey boring tbh, i still think she's beautiful tho
Caelus lower than Yanqing fr.😭
Sparkle be acting like Hu Tao in Genshin
Ok seriously, why is Jade almost in bottum 20, this is a drip list, not a favourites list!
@@underdrow5572 her dress is weird bro
Not criticizing the list.
But just noticed that the ranking is undeniably and heavily noticeable that the people who vote are influenced by the meta
Asta, Natasha, and Yukong in the bottom 10? Y'all trippin. Lol
@@BlinkyFizz they're mid
@@nico_nicks No u
Wonder what place Castorice would be
Judging by how many people like her 2d art more than her 3d model, I’d say around the 20s, in my opinion she’s one of the prettiest 3.0 characters 😭
Not even top 20
i think shes kinda mid ngl :[
@@nico_nicks agreed, her 2d art had a certain umph that isn't in her model sadly
I kinda don't really like her design tbh , it's look so busy , way too busy , while I like her character/personality that I have seen so far .
maybe the color too is the factor , everything is too white , maybe add more purple tint would make it look better .
Boothill over firefly caught me by surprise as I had her much higher but NO OBJECTION to nr 1. Kafka just screams mature mystically dangerous woman. Few characters made me pull just because of design but kafkas trailer just 😮😮😮😮
*Seeing The Herta is no 2.*
Of course, but she'll be mad why she's on number two.
If Duke inferno have a chance... bro gotta be the hottest character
Thank you! Finnaly someone said it! Bro deserves more attention
the hottest... because he's literally on fire.. 😂 ha ha good one
Feels bad that Silver Wolf & Bronya are side-by-side, right below the top 20.
This list makes sense if people are rating their favorites but as a best design list this is a mess. Robin, Sunday and Acheron are look kinda boring so it’s a little amazing seeing all three in the top 20 while the literal poster character got edged out of the top 20. Hook being in the bottom 5 is a travesty when she’s one of the stronger and more unique visual designs in a sea of supermodels who don’t know how to dress themselves.
Arlan cooking the whole teir list no diff. 😂😂😂😂😂
On my SOUL Aventurine has one of the best designs
Argenti deserved top ten 😔 Firefly over him and Black Swan is crazy to me
firefly with sam deserved
firefly without sam - no
My Top 3 best looking male: Dr Ratio, Mydei, Mr Reca
Top 3 best looking female: Jade, The Herta, Jingliu
poor seele didn't make the list, but it's okay. She's being loved by her really small sub-community
How can you call Pela ugly you heretics! She is so cute!!!!
Kafka. To this day. Is still the best designed character in both visuals and story.
SUNDAY AND FUGUE 🔛🔝
how dare the people disrespect misha... :(
I just wish that Therta had an EVEN BIGGER hat.
2:57 The changing moon phases from new to full moon on Jingliu’s bodice make me go insane omg like when I first saw her splash art before the game came out, I was already in love, but when I saw that I freaked out! It’s so satisfying to see in-game too
3:10 I both agree and disagree as someone who has both Ruan Mei and Jingliu in my top visual faves! I think the many small DNA elements to her design are so pretty and thoughtful. Honestly I was more surprised about Argenti and Black Swan being high, since to me their designs are quite plain (Black Swan’s animations are so what made me pull her)
Also Serval and Lingsha being wayyyy lower than I expected is crazy
please never let your audience rank again cuz WDYM natasha is 55 😭
The fact that nobody put Caterina on the NPC section, but a lot of them went with fkn Skott should be a crime.
