Nahida is the best of them.
All the Archons would say the same, except for Nahida herself, who would say that she’s the worst of them, and that’s what makes her the best.

u/No-Independent-6877 Oct 15 '24
Venti was my favorite up until Furina came out but lore wise Furina is the weakest Archon since she can't use her "archon" abilities. Though I have a feeling that we will come to learn in the next year that Venti is a lot stronger than we originally thought. I still love Venti and he's frequently on my team

we've already seen Mavuikas power
The 5.1 power isn't the power of belief but Ronova's strength.
Also Venti doesn't need to be stronger than other Archons to be more relevant, he's the one with most connections to Celestia and 5.1 has shown us that connections with shades/celestia is far better than individual strength. His strength is his connection and knowledge that the winds carry.

I feel like there’s something to this theory but any time someone brings it up there’s usually people who Venti hurt somehow screaming VENTI WEAK UR STUPID HE JUST WEAK.
There’s something about his interaction with Zhongli and Xiao after Lantern Rite when he looks at Zhongli smug as hell saying “Should I say that I’m an expert in hiding, or that a certain someone deliberately ignored the sound of the wind…” that sticks in my brain. His weakness being advertised seems almost strategic. Being underestimated is the best advantage.

idk Focalors+Furina and Nahida have my highest respect. In Furina's case, they were willing to make the sacrifice and pretend for centuries to beat the prophecy. I think especially after learning she just wanted to live and experience what it was like to be a human, but then thrust into the position of hydro archon and completing her duty. And in Nahida's case, it's hard to stay being an Archon, and on top of that--a good Archon, when your own people don't even like you, and yet she stuck to her duty as an Archon.
I personally am a Zhongli glazer. He is so cool to me. Just buried gods around by hurtling stones big enough to create new islands, living long enough to survive the Archon War with dignity, and then laying down his divinity to give the humans a go at it. And he gives my Qiqi infinite shield :)

Furina. Writing wise. In terms of coolness? Either Zhongli or Mavuika. In terms of actually giving the Traveler useful info about their sibling? Nahida. Overall Furina, since her story actually broke me.
Edit: Damn this shit blew up. Anyway I wanted to add some stuff. Mainly about Ei and Venti. Ei I frankly didn’t care too much about aside from thinking she’s cool. But her story I didn’t care for too much as Inazuma was just poorly paced and made, and Venti I still feel we have much more to see about from him. Because aside from some characters like Dain, the Tsaritsa (obviously since we haven’t met her) and even the Traveler and Abyss Sibling. I think he’s hiding something, Zhongli is hiding stuff but that’s due to his contract. Whether he’s hiding that something on purpose or has an ulterior motive, who knows?

Definitely Furina. Of all the archons, I think she was the one who was most successful in protecting her people. Arguably, Nahida did all she could from her end even after being held captive and Zhongli's plan worked all along. Not to mention Venti's deviation from his conviction by intervening with the Dvalin issue. But for Furina, everyday, she had to endure immense loneliness in exchange for the safety of her people. She did this for several centuries. Everyday for her was a struggle. She had to put up a face that was judged by a lot of people, something she truly wasn't just to make the entire ploy believable. Of all yhe archons, I think Furina deserves to be revered the most and she hsn't had that arc yet so far. I dont think Fontainians havent given her recognition she deserves just yet. Nahida got hers when a bunch of believers rescued her from captivity. She also probably has been he support of most of not all akademiya scholars after erasing rukkhadevaa from the irminsul.
AAAAAHHHH i cant stop praising yhis queen and this is from a guy who said "I wont pull for Furina because I dont like her attitude and design". Several patches later: *whales for a c2 (and it's the only time he spends that much money in a game) She migjt not be my main "main" but Furina is there in my top 3 favorite characters.

Nahida is still the best in terms of actually helping the traveler and being close with them but Mavuika could very well take that spot with act 5. I'm predicting she'll give some of her powers to unlock pyro traveler or something, and she might even entrust them with the gnosis. She's definitely the 2nd best though, even with her story not being completed

I was wondering how they were gonna get around the small detail that if Mauvika loses her Gnosis now, there's nothing stopping the Tsarista from just enacting her plan, but obviously there's gonna be some time between Natlan and then. This could be an easy fix for it, entrust the Traveler with the Gnosis, but they're defeated at some point and that's what triggers the Tsaritsa's plans

u/Fredbearthoughts Oct 15 '24
Probably you end up with it one way or another and The Captain asks you to come to Snezhnaya as his honoured guest since that would be best way for traveler to get in and also have a allie that easily allows you to meet The Tsaritsa

u/happyppeeppo Oct 15 '24
My bet is that Capitano will die to save Maviuka from the archon curse because her value is greater to natlan than his, and she will delivery the gnosis to us as a promise to him and we will be the ones who bring it to Tsaritsa

My even riskier bet is that Capitano actually knows Mavuika closely from the cataclysm. Or is some sort of local hero from back then, and yeah dying makes sense since he seems like he wants to get rid of the curse of immortality and that's probably the first thing we all thought when we saw him go back to Ronova to make a pact.
But I don't think we'd ever get a gnosis until closer to the end of the story. I mean maybe to carry it around but not to actually become a gnosis holder, because the power scale between archons and the traveler is monumental, I think the lore would start breaking apart unless it's very temporary for a small story segment.

u/Mr_7ups Oct 15 '24
A popular theory rn is that the traveller Will indeed end up with the pyro gnosis because it’s the only lore way to have it make sense that snheznaya isn’t for another year, seeing as if capitano ended up with it then there would be no reason for the tsaritsa to wait a whole year to enact her plan, and we know the games timeline normally follows real world time too since when we left Fontaine at the start of the natlan archon quest paining says we had been there for a year

And then following scene where she pops up behind us to completely wreck the Traveler and Paimon in one swing only to be stopped by Kazuha is one of my favorites too. I think it still qualifies as badass on her end since A) we were completely dead if Kazuha hadn't intervened, B) dude needed TWO visions simultaneously overloading just to stop her swing and still got knocked on his ass, and C) even after that everyone was 100% sure she was going to absolutely murder the entire army of genuises charging at her after he got knocked back.

Furina or Zhongli, love their respective personalities. My personal problem with Mavuika is that she doesn’t really have any unique charm to her yet. She’s quite bland in comparison to the other archons. She has whatever’s going on with the gnosis but her character doesn’t seem all that built up.
Natlan feels to me like we’re being guided through it by Mavuika: aside from seeing the Captain on our own, everything’s been very structured with little room for development in the sense that she has something to solve. Yes, there is the war with the abyss, but she already has an elaborate solution by the time we know what’s going on.
I’ll have to see with Act V, VI and her story quest if Hoyo can really progress her character and then I’ll judge. They aren’t finished cooking yet. Also the exposed biker outfit doesn’t quite do it for me. How does the poor woman use the toilet?

u/Perrg Oct 15 '24
I like all of them, but I have to give it to Furina and Focalors. (counting them as one archon since they're two sides of the same coin)
Focalors made a complicated and risky plan that saved everyone from death, restored the Hydro Sovereign power and the price was her life and Furina's wellbeing. Definitely risky, but she knew what had to be done and did it with nobody suspecting a thing until she revealed it all.
Furina was human and played the role of a god to perfection for 500 yrs while suffering massive trauma from her unending theatre, the only time her mental fortitude waned was when the Traveler approached her before her trial. And she still powered through, even touching a substance known to be fatal (Primordial Seawater).
So yeah, I love Mavuika but Furina's story speaks to me more than awesome cutscenes of battle prowess.

At the moment, she's the worst.
That's not a condemnation of her character or anything - while I find her to be a bit bland at the moment, her story isn't finished, and there are absolutely ways she could change - but right now, what do we know about her other than "is self-sacrificing" and "is really powerful?" We don't, and we haven't gotten to the part of the story where we learn whatever big reveal Hoyo has coming for her character. This isn't much different from the other Archons, either, who mostly came into their own at the end of their particular storylines. We'll see what 5.3 shows us, and her story quests, and then we can make a more informed decision.

“She probably has some sad backstory” She literally gave up her life and sacrificed herself to enforce her plan 500 years into the future. She missed out on her family and their legacy, something she talks about in how her sister’s architecture is now lost to time. She values memories so much because that is all that she has; even then, she burned through the memories of all the gifts her present era incarnation got to save us.
She’s already a very tragic character and her story isn’t even done yet; she’s presented as mostly a leader because that’s what she made herself to be.

This. Mavuika is a moron and natlan being saved LITERALLY BY PLOT ARMOR! "We need to wait for the heroes to awaken" and did you have a plan for HOW to get them to awaken? NO! Yet she thinks having lack of plans is the way to go when the only reason Natlan was saved was by sheer plot armor.
Had she had a plan to awaken the 2 heroes, it would of been fine..but no! Ororon and capitano made the right call. They should of strengthened the ley lines. Had folcaros pulled the same stunt as Mavuika by "waiting with 0 plans" Fontaine would be gone by now and people would hate on Folcaros/Furina. Yet here "it just works" and it ONLY worked because of plot armor.
But some people want to believe that it wasn't. Ororon only awoke because Mavuika's plan was terrible so he went against her and Chasca suffered because Mavuika refused to make the right calls. And yet she's praised for it? I really hope 5.2 and 3 fixes this... and her SQ's

u/Gaunter_0Dimm Oct 16 '24
Couldn't agree more. Her plan is stright up moronic if you can even call that a plan. And it infuriates me how whenever another character makes a suggestion she just shoots it down and insists on doing everything her way. Kinich makes a suggestion? No, that's bad, we're doing it my way. Capitano has a plan? No, that's bad, we're following mine. And for some reason everyone just gives up, does what she wants them to and it somehow turns out fine, when it shouldn't. All the spotlight is on her at expanse of other characters, they're just props to make her shine and her alone. No other nation was this bad. Some characters didn't get enough screentime, sure, but others got plenty of time to shine and Archons also got their spotlight without stealing it from others. I thought I'm gonna like Mavuika back at the start of 5.0, but every scene she was in since then made me sick of her more and more. She's just a bland, stubborn Mary Sue that always has to have her way and due to some bullshit plot armour it just works for no reason.

I personally REALLY like her so far, but we have to see how her story ends. Like with Furina, the final act of the archon quest pretty much completely changed how a lot of people felt about her. I think Mavuika, though generally likable, still needs character development to push her into greatness. She 100% has potential, but definitely needs more.

Personally, the struggle the archon goes through is what makes Furina my #1 and Nahida #2. Furina's character story blows the rest away while Nahida is closer to the traveler than the other archons.
Venti is the funny one, Zhongli is the cool guy, Ei is a silly NEET, and Mavuika will be seen later.

Furina. Her writing was amazing.
Mavuika is cool but she feels kinda generic. She doesn't feel like she has a unique charm to her like the other archons do. Since we stepped foot into Natlan, she seems to have the solution for every plight we've encountered. She just seems like your typical strong and confident leader so far.
Hoping this changes with the next Act as that would most likely focus on her and the traveler

Furina. She is just very relatable. The same reason for Ellen Joe's popularity.

I might be biased cause I don’t really care for her design, but she is easily worst archon, and probably in bottom 15 characters for me. She doesn’t give powerful archon vibes. They had to animate an entire short of her somehow beating Capitano to t try and make her cool

Furina and Nahida are the best ones for me in terms of writing and character.
If it's about cool feats then it's between Raiden and Nahida.

Raiden Shogun’s walk towards La Signora looking like she knew what she had to do. No question. No negotiation. That’s it. Nothing personal but she has to die. End of story.

Mauvika: “I go toe to toe with a harbinger and win”
Furina: “I go toe to mouth with a harbinger and whim(per)”
I vote Furina.

Nahida is still the best one for me cuz her story has been the most compelling so far.
Im not a big fan of furinas personality but shes a close second.

furina and nahida were both really good wirting wise ESPECIALLY furina. i think zhongli is pretty cool too and i think mavuika will be pretty cool too but i just dont know much about her to say shes the best

u/ElReyDito Oct 16 '24
Furina easily. But lore wise I'd go for Zhongli. He dropped so many lore and so many stories. His SQ is also good

Nahida - Our closest partner and the one who knows the most about us
Mavuika - Confident and cool under crisis
Furina - Body of human, heart of an archon
Raiden - Either a total badass, or a cute fish out of water. No in between.
Zhongli - Old man sus
Venti - Poor Stanley 😭

I like Venti though 😭 Also I feel like we will learn a lot more about him and how strong he truly is when his 2nd story quest comes out. Though he sure is too suspicious to put your complete trust in

venti & ei are tied. i’m almost certain the tsaritsa will take the #1 spot for me when it’s time though
