In recent discussions surrounding the popular game, Honkai: Star Rail, one topic has sparked some serious debates: Where does PomPom fit in the power hierarchy? For those not in the know, this query was compelled by the post from ‘Bright_Feeling_8152’ who openly wonders about the power rating of PomPom.
Summary
- PomPom’s power level is contentious among fans, with some placing him below Aeons, above most races, but below giant space monsters like the swarm bug and voracity.
- Others suggest that PomPom’s standing could depend on the Emanator itself and whether it has ever attacked the train.
- A few speculate that PomPom might be an Akivili, while some argue he’s the strongest being, second to none.
The Power Debate
User ‘LegoSpacenaut’ posits that PomPom is ‘Below Aeons’- referring to the time Aha blew up half the train as a joke, and ‘above most races,’. In their words, ‘since even immortals like Jing Yuan bend the knee in praise of his unseen strength.’ They, however, place him below giant space creatures like the swarm bug and voracity, evident when the train was eaten during Argenti’s quest, with PomPom unable to take any action.
Is PomPom An Akivili?
Digging further into the debates, user ‘ThisIsMyPassword100’ suggests that PomPom is Akivili and regards him on par with Clara/HuoHuo/Pela in terms of power. The fascination revolving around PomPom’s real identity or species is a recurring theme, with comments pointing at him being everything from a powerful Emanator to a mere mortal.
Could PomPom Be…The Strongest?
Amid all the speculation and discussion, ‘belugawhale–‘ takes a contrarian opinion and declares emphatically that PomPom is ‘the strongest. Second to none. The omnipotent conductor PomPom drives the train and drives it well.’ This is closely echoed by ‘__starrystarrynight’ who suggests PomPom may be an Emanator of trailblaze.
So, is PomPom as mighty as these fans believe, or is he just a lovable train conductor with a knack for getting into (and out of) trouble? Whatever the case may be, these fascinating ongoing debates only up the anticipation for future Honkai: Star Rail updates. May the power be with PomPom!
