How Strong Are The Archons? [Genshin Impact Lore and Theory]

aether an archon aswell? he also has no sis

Imagining the Venti cutting down entire mountains and dumping the remains into the ocean like fruit peels is both Epic and Funny.

Even though Zhongli doesn't show the ability to create domains himself, the adepti have shown thier ability to create them. Ping even gives us one. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say that the prime of the adepti also can make these spaces.

Something that never sat right with me is how Venti says that the strength of an archons power comes from being present in the nation and because he is rarely present in Mondstat, he is the weakest archon, but he’s literally like the ONLY person who said that. Nahida says that the strength of an archon’s power comes from how much they’re worshipped (therefore, she’s not the strongest) and if that’s the case, Venti would definitely be incredibly powerful considering there’s a whole CHURCH devoted to him (something we haven’t seen in other nations yet).

The day the Archons get Skins of their original appearances will be the day many players go bankrupt.

I personally think Pantalone is more powerful than any archon, because he can simply swipe and get all the 7 gods C6 r5 in his account....

Venti will play a big role in the end of the story. 100%

I would like to say a few more things on Zhongli’s end 1. Zhongli as a god is a great master of Geo. Not only did he create enormous Geo Spears bigger than mountains to seal Osial and many other gods, he also allegedly created many Geo Creatures. Among them are huge stone kites in the shape of birds that flew high and crashed down to seal or kill gods. He also created a huge Geo Whale to combat a Leviathan called the Baqiu. And in other cutscenes, he is shown with two big Geo hands beneath him. And apparently, he made small Geo cages to seal away small creepy creatures that infested Liyue Harbor, and are also the reason why he hates sea food. 2. Zhongli is not only the god of Geo, but the Prime Adeptus, or in other translations, “The Progenitor Of The Adepti”. As the Prime Adeptus, he is a master of all types of Adepti Arts. Madame Ping even says that he teaches and gifts many Adepti arts to other Adepti. Though he doesn’t show it, he still performed a few Adepti arts even as a mortal. Some of his Adepti Arts include the ability to make a Divine Prediction to guide Liyue in the future, he can see and walk into people’s dreams and converse with them, he can give eyes to blind dragons, can shape shift to and from a dragon, a human and to a mix of Liyue’s oldest creatures. And Madame Ping says that Sub-Space Creation, the ability to create pocket realms, is also a gift from him to the Adepti. And even the Adepti say that this ability isn’t anything to boast about and is child’s play to them. And those are just some of the Adepti Arts he can do. I’m sure he taught the Adepti other arts, like Xiao’s ability to summon someone’s spirit from their sleep. 3. I know you kinda covered Zhongli’s strength, but i wanna point out a few more things. According to Madame Ping, Zhongli once lifted and moved entire mountains and seas. And Ping and the other Adepti call that a demonstration of true power, which is superior to Sub-Space Creation. And in the lore of Aerosiderite, he fought an Abyssal Leviathan, and killed it. And this was a feat thought to be impossible for other gods that came from the same origins as Zhongli. And the lore continues to say that only power beyond Teyvat can stain the power of Rex Lapis. P.S: I know some of y’all might think some of these types of informations could be another case of Liyue overhyping Rex Lapis’ feats, but these pieces of lore make no mention of people talking about it. It’s factual lore made by the Mihoyo themselves. They aren’t those made up or overhyped stories specifically told by storytellers in the game.

I'm wondering if Venti's fixing of the lyre was really a temperary time manipulation technique where he rewound the lyre's time to it's older form. Also he could still be awake because he wants to watch the Traveler

Zhongli is also capable of giving dreams and visions (not the elemental one). He said it in his archon quest. He used it to inform the adepti that he is alive.

UPD: Venti's power is also connected with memories (He demonstrated this in a relatively recent Mondstadt's event in 3.1), Perhaps he can erase memories, because "Stanley" does not remember who Venti is (maybe alcohol also affected, but in any case, what can be granted can be also taken away) As a bonus: Even though Venti got caught stealing food at the dawn winery, none of the NPCs talks about it, not even Diluс

In Fontaine we may get to see some of Celestia’s power. They are hovering over Fontaine currently and something I noticed in the Travail trailer is that the structure behind the Fontaine characters shown kinda looks like a Celestial Nail. It even has a similar light around it like we see in game

timestamps cuz timestamps 1:20 What is classified as an Archon? 3:08 The Archons' constant set of abilities from a first impression 5:17 The Gnosis 6:28 Barbatos 9:00 Morax 10:58 Beelzebul 12:17 Buer 13:58 Conclusion

Zhongli has shown teleportation feats, like when he rescued Xiao from falling in the chasm.

I want to see Venti using his archon powers in game SO BAD

With regards to domain expansion, I believe Madam Ping mensioned on the quest "A Teapot to Call Home"(Serenitea Pot) that her power of making pocket dimension was nothing compared to Zhongli. Hinting that all illuminated beast (not sure if Yakshas has the same ability) has an innate ability for sub-space creation.

Raiden seems to be able to control weather patterns and forcibly make inazuma completely isolated from the outside. The ocean fog, thunderstorms, the waves, things only beidous ship with beidous expertise can get by. Very powerful!

I find it interesting that Venti is able to bring back the winds of the past to show people their pasts. If not their pasts in a picture form, the sounds and scents associated with said memories

Minor things not noted. Venti displays teleportation in the prologue act 1 Zhongli taught the adepti sub space creation according to Madame Ping Ei is capable of sealing techniques as she sealed both Orobashi and Kapatcir’s remains

Venti very much feels like Lisa in the lore - a character more powerful than they let on who also conserve their power in anticipation for something ominous that only they know about.
