Firefly -Became the sole survivor of her kin -Fought off the 2nd Wave of the Swarm by herself -Eradicate the entire wave along with the planet Elio: Let's adopt her Kafka: Way ahead of you

[@juliogomez2534]

The amount of lore packed in these animated shorts is crazy. The whole thing with the Calvary still fighting even after the fall of The Empire, the whole indoctrination of the soldiers, the fact that they are LITERALLY MADE TO FIGHT. Just crazy overall, let's pray this is not a one time thing and we learn more about the consequences of The Swarm Disaster down the line.

[@nixirlgames]

agreed! we need more backstory and lore on the Swarm disaster and the Iron Cavalry that fought against them. not to mention the Aeons teaming up to put an end to the chaos

[@heilamwether8911]

@@nixirlgamesthe whole swarm disaster is both crazy, but also muddled with misinformation; The history fictionologists of that time and after muddled a lot of the history of that war, and because of that, we Don’t know everything that happened, same with the Rupert’s war. (Both being the deadliest wars in the HSR universe.) We can only assume a lot of things, but one thing Is for sure. *tazzoroth is still alive.* She didn’t die, she only got stripped of her path, and encased and sealed in amber by Qilpoth. She can easily come back, especially if Ruan Mei finds out and tries to undo the seal to u sweat and their power better. Their is so much more to the swarm disaster that we probably won’t find o it for awhile, meaning that their was probably even more shit that went on that we donmf even know, like aha’s involvement, and what exactly terminus was trying to do when he incited the war. There is so much, and we’re going to have to wait till it’s all revealed.

[@juliogomez2534]

@@heilamwether8911 we just need the right SU expansion and BAM more lore

[@heilamwether8911]

@@juliogomez2534 better question, how would that happen? So much of the past was lost, or muddled by the history fictionologists, so for an expansion to happen, herta, or someone in the SU development would have to gain a groundbreak of the swarm disaster, either from someone who live through it, or something bigger than that. We don’t have enough info for the SU to be expanded, and because of that, the likelihood of gaining answers for all the holes will have to wait till then.

[@nitrozombie2719]

I am loving Firefly's lore. Hyped for this update!

[@nixirlgames]

ohhh yeaaa! it's gonna be a slapper!

[@PA70805]

When you know that it was only a very small part of the swarm + the swarm mother is not even an emanator. Emanator of propagation would have pretty much exploded the whole planet in one blow. Skaracabaz prime was way more powerful than all the bugs we seen in this trailer

[@nixirlgames]

yea but I beat the brakes off Skaracabaz every week, they're not that stronk

[@arrandonbavand]

​@@nixirlgamesThe skaracabaz we fight is an incomplete clone of the original and it was about to blow up the herta space station before it basically collapsed on itself.

[@idontspeakjapanese6289]

Would you'd rather die fighting against the Antimatter Legion or face the never ending Swarm

[@nixirlgames]

in the words of Yanqing... na, I'd win

[@heilamwether8911]

Probably the the legion, since they’re also more modern, and less problematic: the swarm almost destroyed the whole universe, talking the combination of 3+ aeons to stop tazzoroth, Nanook can only do so much against the rest of the aeons, and with Acheron, and the galaxy rangers, it would be a lot harder in the current era for any of his emenators to do anything, also, trailblazer was able to content with phantylia, a harbinger of nannook, and the doomsday beast, so I say we have a higher chance to survive. I’ll take my chances.

[@brassbrute3607]

I am resisting the urge to make a helldiver joke here

[@sasstothemoon8376]

Anti matter Legion any time. But the good thing is that they design the swarm to look like beetle instead of cockroach.

Now I'm wondering whether Firefly had flashbacks of this fight when she got stabbed by the death meme. The only difference between the stabs is that Firefly got stabbed in the back

looks like it did what it was supposed to do. just lucky our girl Firefly made it out alive 🙏

[@hayond656]

She also says that thing for her Boss Ultimate

[@theglobalwarming6081]

Firefly's eyes tearing up knowing her fate after she was informed of the operation and telling herself "For her majesty," while also knowing she's already gone, was what broke me

[@heilamwether8911]

I’ve rewatched this like 9 times, and I have gotten to a conclusion: Did Yaoshi gaze Apon firefly? If THEY did, it would explain how the seed sprouted from firefly’s tears, and why she started sprouting the phases she does after it, which supports, and matches the path of abundance. Since emenator and aeons are created from high emotions, I wonder if firefly tapped into the power of a path when her mind broke, and got freezes from the mind control the Glamoth empire.

[@nixirlgames]

it's def an interesting thought! I'm convinced it was simply a cool cinematic showing her "sprouting" into her new life, free of the chains of Glamoth's expectations of her but! we won't know for sure until we get into the 2.3 story

yaoshi might intervened on this, giving her power of abundance, awaken her power into emanator levels, destroy whole wave of swarm along with her own planet. the power of abundance keep her alive in the space for thousand of years before kafka found her

[@nixirlgames]

I've seen this idea kicked around a couple different places. really neat idea, but I find it to be a little farfetched given the information that's out there. hopefully they give us more info in the 2.3 story!

[@yumayums]

@@nixirlgames i was wrong, yaoshi didn't even exist during the swarm war, lol it might be just some sort of miracles that the planet giving last life struggle to firefly , like the energy core or something since swarm literally eating planets and stars to bit

I mean.. it's not like they make the trailers the day they drop them. it should be as simple and scheduling the video to go live at a certain time regardless, I'm pleased with the video. it was worth the little bit of a wait

[@NikkonekoVT]

It's so sad that the glamoth army fought the swarm even though glamoth was already wiped from existance. Glad Qlipoth(Preservation) killed Tayzzyronth(Propagation) otherwise HSR universe wouldve been screwed 😭😭

[@idontspeakjapanese6289]

The Swarm still actually exists and it's just wandering around aimlessly devouring unfortunate worlds in its path, its one of the many reasons why Qlipoth is building universal walls to protect the living worlds. Tazzyronth may have died, but it's spawns are in the billions

@@nixirlgamestheir like fireflies; meant to last for a moment, then wither and die. They were genetically made to live short lifes, and die short deaths, they wern’t made to live, only to live as killing machines. The fact that firefly awakened, and lived past her fate is enough to tell us her convictions, and with that, why she survived.

[@nixirlgames]

@@heilamwether8911 good breakdown and really well said!

[@heilamwether8911]

@@nixirlgames tbh, this origin gives me so many more questions: firefly and the rest of her brothers and sister basically were born and genetically modified the same, and made to live solely, and live to serve titiania, (which really want to serve, and defend glamoth.) so why did she change? What caused her to wake from that brainwashing? Also, what exactly are they? In the story description, they were human, who were genetically modified to be stronger, but also have their disorder, causing her rapid aging, so what gave her the ability to regrow her suit and kill the rest of the swarm on glamoth? Was it the aeon of abundance? Or was it her own conviction? So many questions, but rn, we’re going to have to wait till 2.3 for those answers :/

She doesn't really want to revive the bugs, just recreate an Emanator and the bugs were the easiest one. Remember that the Swarm Emanator clone cant even survive for more than a minute which might have been a safety mechanism. We know that even Ryan Mei herself didn't think making them was the best idea by how she mentioned Herta and Screwllum won't be happy about knowing this.
