How strong are the HARBINGERS? Genshin Impact Lore Theory and Speculation]

when you ask a citizen of divat who do you think is amongst the Apex of authority and power several names come to mind if their names aren't amongst the seven archons who watch over the land chances are they'll turn to the 11 strangest and ruthless devoted followers of the motherland ten no nine nine strange and ruthless devoted followers anyway so today welcome to the how strong are the gentian characters let's talk about devat's favorite clown Fiesta the fatoui harbingers now before I begin a quick plug of my patreon or YouTube memberships join the wind Wheels now and support the channel anyway let's get back to the video I'll be breaking down the characters notable abilities assets intelligence Feats and achievements that make them formidable and I'll be covering everything that I can Under the Sun as a disclaimer we have only had four harbingers make a formal appearance in the game therefore leaving us with only speculation and theories for the other seven so none of this is confirmed and I'm just going off on in-game and in cutscene observations based on what we already know additionally I want to preface that the point of the how strong series isn't to compare them with each other but instead the study the character in and of themselves the problem is that asador stands there has been clear comparison of the 11 harbingers simply based on Word of Mouth from reliable sources so I will take that into a account when I make my analyzes and last but certainly not the least this video will not be talking simply about how they are in a fight because I do believe strength is cumulative with all kinds of abilities and this is something that I'll get to later anyway let's begin in the current lure of genshin we know several constants that are mentioned to us about the harbinger's overall power in terms of mechanical strength the harbingers are the linchpins of authority that allow the fatui to do as they please in the Seven Nations they politically economically and scientifically are powerhouses that can intimidate most governing bodies into bending into submission by sheer resources alone the harbingers aren't like dakatsuki from Naruto who are simply powerful for the sake of being powerful but their manipulators soldiers scientists leaders and the worst scum of them all politicians the harbingers are each given delusions in which they hold as a badge of honor the delusions are the source and the proof of the harbinger's immense power source because the delusion allow allows them to use other elements to fuel their existing capabilities or combat existing weaknesses that may jeopardize their well-being and prove because wielding a delusion in and of itself takes a horrendous toll on your body furthermore these delusions are expected to be of the highest potency in quality because they come from an archon that is fashioned it herself we can also infer that each of the harbingers have an ability or a feature that has transcended Humanity some have Abyssal Powers some are Divine some are of a race that has yet to be known to us and some are really really rich but now we dive into them as individual characters and with that let's start with our Talia tertalia himself is the character that is horrendously Strong by regular human standards but compared to the harbingers even he admits that he pales in comparison which if you have more than one person in your roster being older than your bloodline I can see what he means but by no feat is sartalia weak in his own regard while tartalia lacks the years of experience to completely hone his abilities he makes up for this in his speed and willingness to learn tartalia is proficient in all forms of weapons with his expertise being the dual blades and his Spear and the bow being his weakest however despite him being the weakest at the bow he is still able to fight with rigor and isn't afraid to use it in a serious battle tartalia's vision is hydro and he is proficient in creating melee weapons creatures and bursts of hydro energy his delusion on the other hand is Electro which greatly enhances his Speed and Agility while giving him a tremendous boost in melee combat in his final form is the foul Legacy a form that he gained after three Abyssal months or three tevatian days in training this firm is able to morph his body and enhance both his Constitution and dexterity by a massive boost although while providing short-term teleportation bursts area of effects and massive piercing and shredding attacks that can break through a wide area catalia's piercing attacks alone were able to decimate the floor of the Golden House Hetalia himself acknowledges that compared to the other harbingers he is not at the same degree and that's evident in how quickly he becomes lethargic he is clearly inexperienced with his own power despite his previous training and does have years ahead of him the drawbacks of using his foul Legacy for even a few seconds or minutes are clear with the recovery period needed after the leeway arconquest followed by his fight with the ruin guards however if he is able to improve on his strength we are potentially seeing moveset similar to The Abyss Herald consider considering the similarities of totally and that this Herald's movesets and the naming conventions having tied this in their names we can Garner that tartalia's final capabilities art of the same resilience and speed as the Heralds you might even be able to form Shields eventually based on both Electro and hydro infusions or just have wider attacks in terms of political Authority and pursuit tartalia admits he has the lowest level of authority amongst the harbingers yet is still a very capable negotiator and businessman tatalya is well traveled and has understood the art of politics despite claiming he was not as manipulative as his other comrades while he does say that tatalia's ability to Garner information and execute on Intel is at a very dangerous level the Neve her ranking is currently unknown but that's not necessarily what matters at the moment arlikina is best known for her assets of leadership and the potential of creating soldiers from orphans and indoctrinating them into the fatouy's ideal loyalty but we do know that arlikino's best interests are according to tartalia for her own benefit and that she is insane for even considering such insolence regardless of her motivations though her strength is what we have yet to fully grasp her title the Neve might give us a deeper dive into what she could potentially be in terms of power the Nave is known as it is honest or unscrupulous man which pairs well with tertalia's voice lines but it's also another term in card play for the jack a jack can be another term for Soldier and a very popular name in literature is from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland the knave of Hearts while the book Nave wasn't much of a character the knave of Hearts from Tim Burton's movie resembles a commanded-like character that demands respect from his subordinates and uses a sword additionally it's unknown if arlikina herself has a vision but it would be nice if her character has something to do with either pyro or Electro these are two offensive elements and we have yet to see a pirate delusion from the current roster as far as we're also aware she is a human being so she might have additional augments similar to La Sonora or tartalia X marking in her irises and the lack of glint might suggest that she is far more than what she seems or it's just possible that her true assets come in the form of her Authority in training fatui soldiers at a very young age making her less of a soldier and more so a character focus on the logistics side of managing the fatoui much like pantalone that's really all we can speculate from her at the moment and out of all the other harbingers I'm actually super curious what she can do pantalone the regreter speaking of humans were artificially augmented Now we move on to pantalone antalon economically doesn't have a vision as far as we are aware his lore and the pale flame suggests that the gods have never looked upon him with favor and that he was destitute his biggest strength lies in his ability to control the potential economies of not only sneshnaya but also other nations pantalones Feats and achievements come in the fact that he has made sneznaya to be one of the biggest economic powerhouses in tavat with trade and wealth being almost dispensable for the harbingers we know that what makes a fatoui strong are their resources and Nations like Liu and monset don't have both the technology or the materials to compete with them his power over the other nations is much more subtle but concrete he was the one who rendered the entirety of the gothatel the largest hotel in monstad for the fatoui and furthermore pantalone was also eyeing once that's wine industry to see if he can have a hold and wants that's largest market we also know about the Northland bank one of Leo's top establishments was created by pantalones efforts a bank in the land of Commerce is definitely no easy feat pandalana's economic genius is not only for the sake of the fatoui's prosperity but also for the monopolization of important businesses and other nations which is why in and of itself which is in and of itself a really really big Power move mantelona is an amazing strategist as well able to predict yelan's moves for example to stop her from jeopardizing their entire operation Now we move on to his more combat capabilities Avalon has no lore currently about his delusion or his fighting style but I can see him being Geo or Hydro given his Ambitions jio not only for Mora but also to symbolize his hard fast and practical nature in terms of dealing with his hard work on the other hand Hydro is a conjuration element which could symbolize his ability to generate boundless wealth for the fatoui Senora the fair lady Senora's strength in the game is laid out for us in her boss fight and in her artifact sets while it isn't actually said which brand she graduated from Senora might have been a graduate of the branch dealing with elementalism Senora is also capable of speaking 20 languages as Al haitham says that all graduates need to leave the Academia with at least 20 language proficiencies she doesn't have a known Vision on her if we look at her model and it's hinted that her pyromancy far exceeds the limitations of the vision giving her longevity Senora has a lifespan of an inhuman with her estimated age being around more than 500 years old Senora was also potentially a victim of Abyssal corruption considering the proximity she would have had fighting them and the severe toilet seemed to take on her human form was pretty much evident Sonora's delusion is cryo and we need to understand the role of this as opposed to someone like tartalia's when using her cryovabilities singara opts for long-range combat with a protective barrier around herself almost similar to how she approaches the 70 in the monster Arcon quests Senora immobilizes pierces or bursts her enemies down with little to no movement on her end Senora's cry a delusion was used to suppress the Crimson witch meaning that her Core Power is much higher and much more volatile than tartalia's she gains greater mobility in size while also imbuilding her form with resistances enhanced Constitution and durability and an overall control of pyromancy it doesn't seem like she is able to control both her cryo and Pyro form at the same time but given that this is a boss fight this might not really be the case in the lore a feature of hers that has yet to be explained though are the crystal flies that emitted from her during her fight her execution and her funeral I wonder what role they play in the future Sandra name the marionette Sandra is another character that we can only vaguely scratch the surface of she's amongst the characters that I sincerely doubt as human considering her name and her aesthetic sandrone has resemblances to those Victorian era dolls with frilly dresses and headbands to match what is fascinating though is her intellect sandrana has knowledge of Ruin guards and has the ability to manipulate them as she wishes as we see in the trailer it's also possible that her Research into artificial beings would direct her to Catherine as an Asian mechanical entity in charge of the adventure is Guild it's important to consider that there is no proof Catherine is andrones creation but I do think that sandrone wouldn't dare pass up an opportunity to study something as complex as Catherine considering her title and her apparent expertise in inorganic creatures which would actually be pretty funny considering there's a literal puppet in her team but I digress Tundra may be an inorganic creature that was once human but altered herself to the point of becoming doll like but considering there is nothing conclusive and we know the leads the vowter we can simply guess what we do know for certain is that she is as much of a researcher as the Torre pick that as you will Scaramouche the balladeer the balladeer's power is one constantly repeated throughout the story of samiru he is capable of electrokinesis as his base powers given by a an unsealed bit of a Tui The Ballad year is also an inorganic entity meaning that his faculties for basic human needs might not be existent at all it's possible that he has no need for sleep or eating but does it as a Pastime there's hardly any proof about this though Scaramouche is also capable of living for extended periods of time with no signs of aging his history would also indicate that scammers has proficiency if not expertise in blacksmithing considering that he has a pass with black Smithers and may have been able to manipulate or sabotage the rising gokaden's works now as for the false God's body it's difficult to save the delusion that was given to him covers all the elements as we see in the boss fight or if the fact that the he has multiple elements was just a temporary boost given by his new body but nevertheless the diversity of scaramouche's new body allows for numerous combinations and reactions what was even more fascinating though is the use of a gnosis as a tool while we do see that the noses is stored within his chest we need to understand that it was because Scaramouche desperately reached out and connected himself to the tubes in the back that he completely deactivated in the first place we don't actually know to what extent the noses empowered his attacks but we can say it's substantial enough to Warrant the thunderstorms and the galactic level abilities he achieved here what I am curious though is the creation of the robot itself if the robot was authorious creation solely or Skirmish had a hand in designing which aspects of the robot would be most favorable for him guess we'll never find out honestly considering that we're talking about Scaramouche and not The Wanderer I won't be considering his animal vision for this video but I'll most likely cover it in the future now we move on to the first five harbingers I'll have varying degrees of theories for each of the top 5 harbingers but nevertheless let's begin Paul Janella the rooster while janella's rank is a very much fascinating considering his stature doesn't necessarily command immediate power not like Scaramouche Sonora or tartalia however there has to be a reason that this man is the fifth pulchinella's race seems to be somewhat inhuman at this point the ears likely and their really long nose similar to his Comedia Del Arte mask given his shirt stature a part of me wants to believe that he is genjin's alternative to a goblinoid or a hobbit while his powers are a mystery his authority is unquestioned with the fatoui seeing a genuinely old character in genshin that doesn't look like an NPC is genuinely refreshing but I actually think that Pulcinella is much much older than he looks considering that races with pointed ears and gentian tend to expand past human lifespans I actually think that pulchinella is centuries if not thousands of years old if his race is inhuman that is as for his delusion it's impossible to say but I like to believe that he has a cryo delusion for no reason under that I think it would suit him honestly the captain the captain is another figure that we have yet to meet but there is one thing absolutely fascinating about him he is known as an ordinary mortal at least from what we know both Grandmaster Barca and totally admire this man as a warrior and varka doesn't doubt that the captain can take out a ruin guard with klee's crayons what's fascinating about Capitano is how mundane he allegedly is while he does have an illusion his fighting styles most likely a close range claim are using Warrior that relies on Brute Force the problem though with capitano's characterization is the use of ordinary mortal we know that some people in the fatou could have started as ordinary Mortals it have been morphed by unknown circumstances all this considered they do still look mortal enough and it's really hard to trust Marcus perspective on Capitano when in reality he hasn't even seen his face we can only rely on a vague claim so it is what it is honestly colombina the damselut now a creature that Rivals the gods the last three harbingers are people that nahida considers as on par with divinity and their strengths are unparalleled by most columbina is the third fatali Harbinger she is someone that even child is particularly a wary of and it's that unsettling feeling that he gets that really sets him on edge colombina is designed in the pin on her hair first reminds me of a Seraph the six wings being a clear characterization of such a fan Theory by Reddit user Ryan chill actually considered that colombina may be a silly because of her seemingly Angelic features and the fact that she sings A mournful tale I won't be going into full detail of this but essentially Ryan broke down the story of the drunkard's tale and history of the silly Kingdom there was a mention of a maiden who would bow her head and sing mournful Melodies about a bygone Kingdom now I did some digging myself and began investigating the silly chords and what's fascinating are the discrete parallels between the the court and Columbiana's design the markings at the bottom resemble her mask the wings on Columbiana's head being the wings on the Statue seraphs are also known to sing in the court of the Gods thus we have the really popular church song Holy Holy Holy and even the mysterious patterns on her headband resemble the smaller designs on the court I do think it's a pretty fascinating one considering the weariness both tartali and ahita share for the third Harbinger if I want to see a rise on colombina's strength I need to look at what even are a Seraph and asili let's start with the seraphim if kalamina is in fact a Seraph her primary element wouldn't be something that we have seen in the playable characters but instead Radiance similar to the celestial energy we saw in 2.6 and 2.1 seraphim are Divine and they praise the revelation of God they are known for their ardor or fire and they Kindle and purify with an all-consuming flame and cleanse with the radiant and enlightening power aceraf's will is to destroy the Shadows of the Darkness a Celia on the other hand in fantasy mythology are fey-like creatures they're essentially Woodland beings with the Affinity to life magic almost similar to the prospect of dendro a great example of a member of the Sealy court is a creature known as Titania or the fairy queen she is a powerful mental manipulator and is able to charm GEOS and manipulate people that would get too close to her it's possible that colombina's strength lies in a much more Sinister yet all the more Divine history the doctor his power doesn't just come with quality but also quantity the amount of work in progress that the Torah does or has done with his segments expands the workload and productivity of the fertility by a long shot the Tori was a student of the Academia before his expulsion and is mostly feared for his wits I'll be starting with the regular tutorials and make my way to the whip daughter considering they're practically two different characters regular the Torres or at least a mega build has access to extensive knowledge spanning across decades or even centuries the Tori has successfully split his life into multiple homunculi and is most likely the perpetrator of any weapon delusion and technological advancement in the fatoui he also has knowledge about ruin guards Celestia and otherworldly entities considering the information he gave to nahida combat wise web tutorial doesn't seem to be a pushover which would suggest that the real tutorial would have body augmentations that assist him in combat after all this is the man that suggested the overall modified education of human bodies to create God I don't doubt that during the apex of the scientific Endeavors he considered giving his own Buffs to himself I wonder if at that point you can even consider that are a human Fiero the jester the jester was known for his immense Charisma and ability to persuade not only his foot soldiers but also his harbingers to join the cause this one is going to be a fascinating breakdown the jester first and foremost may have the curse of immortality considering his Origins should he be from conria then that means he's several centuries old and also considering that fact it is a curiosity if he has the powers of akonrian Connor and technology and powers are an enigma in our Lord considering that they're not formally listed as a conventional element Dane's element for example is unknown twice despite being listed it's possible that the jester plays by the same rules and has another element completely outside of the current seven in terms of strength though it's also possible that the jester isn't Bissell Creature if columbina is my theoretical feel like Angel Pierre could easily be something that is wearing the skin of a human but is nothing short of a monster once his final form kicks in we know that the original people of conorio were turned into what they are now and we also know that Abyssal creatures are able to don human disguises I wonder if Piero also goes through that same transformation but we can never be too certain but it's still a fascinating thought now before I end this video here's a mini Theory the Polar Star lore is one of my favorite hints of the harbingers and I'm going to break it down based on who I think each line was for oft have we walked in the Moon last night could be a reference to columbina if she truly was an Angelic being that Mourns for the calamineeth before her kingdom oft have we trudged through the Gilded Sands could be a reference to the Thora and his expulsion from the Academia as a heretic oft have we felt piercing admitting the dark could be a reference to dartalia for his three months in the abyss and after we dream of lovers in distant hometown could be a referenced to Senora for her lost love if your dreams find no acceptance would be for skyrimush regarding his dreams never coming to fruition if you nurse wounds that would never fade maybe first andrana considering her entire Motif is puppetry and artificiality if you end up discontent each day maybe a reference to pantalone considering that he was once destitute and despise the gods who gave him nothing if you burn with Fury against false promises maybe for arlikina considering her title as the Nave of course nothing here is indicative of the facts and that's a wrap oh boy that was pretty long but a really fun thought experiment anyway I'm personally excited to see what happens now that more harbingers are being shown and that the whole roster has been dropped but that's it for me my name is Austin thank you for chilling with me
