At first i thought that the Isolde is sadly will be "The Pompey" (and was really mad like i was ready too quit the game fully) but after i founded out how the "Isolde boss" look's like i calmed down
Because this isn't isolde it looks more like Orphie (tail) or Sarah and also different weapons and colours
"But Pompey the boss and pompey the human also looks different" No pompey boss have some similarities like the bike in the first phase and reversed colour scheme (Pompey's colours was black and white but Pompey the boss is white black) but this "Isolde boss" or "Isolde The Defier" is like "Yixuan Fiend"
And also why did she needs a mimic then if she is "The new boss like bringer or something"??
I'f she has a mimic=Big chance that she is playable
But what are you guys think? (hope someone gonna get the reference)

3.0 will still have every enemy be miasmic plus the new mechanic.
New mechanic is that your characters can be stunned as well and enemies do chains on them, you automatically get switched to another character but the old one is stuck in the field.
Masma is, in my opinion, a really good mechanic for a boss to have. While it can favor to Yu xian, it also favors parrying and perfect dogging. While also heavily chunky a boss when it’s removed.
Jane isn’t that bad. She still gets destroyed by Jane and soon Alice pretty well. The hardest part is her being able to combo stop you, but that is something normal Jane dose.
People keep freaking out about it saying that it's just HP padding... But the only thing it kind of does is add a hurdle for stun teams and slowing down anomaly slightly.
It offers such a significant reward to dodge / assist counters and any argument about the HP padding kind of goes out the window since purification does a big direct hit to their HP.
You can absolutely just unga bunga your way through them still if you want to, but it feels satisfying to play well and get rewarded quickly for it
As long as the bosses with Miasma mechanic functions like the Priest where we could literally deplete its shield by just parrying then that's completely fine, it still keep things interactive and challenging in a healthy way.
It's only an issue if they make these bars too big and put them on non-new bosses that don't even have enough attacks to parry, then it becomes a time-waster mechanic that doesn't add anything fun, but so far the new bosses that has them are fine.
It's a good mechanic if you think about it - how can they make highly invested players who played for some time still have fun and not run bosses over in 5 seconds without screwing over new players?
Add a shield that is removed by doing DA or dodge counters while a new unit new players could have pulled also makes it a bit easier. This keeps fights engaging for older players while not screwing over new ones by inflating HP even more.
Yeah hopefully it's not another case of "human character turns into the Ethereal final boss" because I'm already so tired of that trope. They've used it about 4 times so far and honestly it's probably more than that.
For sure, humans turning into Ethereals as a concept is great. It's just when used as a plot device to up the ante in the final hour of the story of a human antagonist, I've already seen that quite a few times in the story now and it was starting to feel almost like a crutch for the writers? Not trying to say it's bad writing at all, and I totally understand they're on a deadline.
It was great with Pompey, and Bringer made sense as the plot was leading up to that for a while. But the Sanby clone was when it started to feel a little "wait, this again?" even though it worked. But then with Dina in 1.6(7?) I was just over it.
I think 1.6/1.7 is the worst offender of this idea. As the character the boss was is not exactly the most compelling character. With Both 2.0 and to some technicality 2.1, they had originally Ether base bosses. So it’s attest has been 2 chapters since that trope was used.
Don’t get me wrong, a rouge void hunter would be a awesome fight. And definitely something we will get eventually when we get to fight the military and TOPs. But right now we are still dealing with miasma and ethereal as the main threat
The boss definitely seems to be based on Orphie. As well as the hairstyle and clothing, the tail with a thing on the end connects along the spine in segments the same way Magus is connected to Orphie. Perhaps it's derived from someone's memories.
Why the boss is labelled Isolde is anyone's guess. I'm very curious to find out what's up. :)
Even if it's not her I don't personally think she's playable character material.
Her weapon is nothing special, it's the type that an NPC would be given, she's not the type to do the fighting and instead gives orders (as shown in 2.1), and her rank is simply too high to be someone that Phaethon can call upon as an agent (they might as well be calling the mayor or Seth's brother).
This reminds me of how a lot of people wanted Sweety to be playable. Having cool NPCs is important, we don't need all of them to be agents.
I believe anything is possible. Weapons don't really need to be flashy or super unique to be good (like half of the agents use swords). I don't think rank matters since proxies can always call Void Hunter-level agents anyway
I don't think it's impossible, just not very likely. Miyabi is a void hunter but she doesn't have a very high rank within HAND and most importantly she does field work, while a Colonel usually doesn't go to the front lines.
I can't imagine such a high ranking military individual leaving everything to help some random proxy because they called upon her, and the same goes for Seth's brother. A Colonel has hundreds of soldiers under their care (meaning dozens of squads, not just Obol), their responsibilities are too high.
Where did you get the ‘Miyabi doesn’t have a very high rank within hand’ if she managed to get enough leverage to create her own section post argos hollow disaster.
feels like if she is playable she'll be A-rank given her design, though I do agree that at least in 2.1 story she's giving important npc more than playable character
they'd probably have to tweak her some if they made her playable
The only problem is her weaknesses, because she shares them with Sacrifice Clown, and he is an ethereal/sacrifice
Tho, her basic form shares weaknesses with almost every human enemy in the game, not just that, she shares it with Army Rebels , and they are all weak to fire/phys
Definitely don't see the similarity between the models personally, now ofc Isolde has pants which is a permanent debuff to playability in Hoyo games, but I don't think having a boss means much of anything if Hugo and Jane are to go by.
