This dude just aura farming

Fan service ah

[tranquil spoke]

Can we buff Anaxa too while we’re at it, so he’s meta forever- ignore that he’s repeatedly clearing hard content on low cost teams shhhhhhhh

[young pond]

It's me. I'm the fan. I'm being serviced

I'm so tired of slvtty women I want slvtty men

https://tenor.com/view/cat-tongue-shaking-gif-1214800249503457963

[tranquil spoke]

Mydei does mildly piss me off, cuz it shows me they could have totally made Feixiao buff as hell too

[vagrant ridge]

He also cant die when in his auto attack i learned

[tranquil spoke]

Mhm!

[vagrant ridge]

Is it directly proportional to his dmg taken?

[tranquil spoke]

Well. He can. But it takes a lot of effort.

[vagrant ridge]

Or just getting hit

[tranquil spoke]

Yeppp. More HP lost = more charge

[vagrant ridge]

Ya but he like revives

[vagrant ridge]

Ooooh okay tysm

[tranquil spoke]

Mhm, but those revives do have a limit

I think like- three? Three revives during his auto mode, and then you exit into normal mode. And you can die in normal mode.

[vagrant ridge]

Is there like… a character strength tier list?

[vagrant ridge]

Oooo

[tranquil spoke]

Yyyes, but the most used one is biased towards the latest endgame rotation, and doesn’t always help that much, and can be biased/unclear

[vagrant ridge]

Ooof

I just want more skills wise than meta lol

[tranquil spoke]

I can still send it to you, but it is heavily favored towards endgame content

[vagrant ridge]

Ooof

Is there another one?

[tranquil spoke]

I can probably make you a tier list if you give me an idea what you prioritize, but it would still be somewhat arguable lol

[fierce verge]

woof?

[tranquil spoke]

Most tier lists do heavily favor current meta I do fear

[young pond]

I use Prydwen for tier list, but ik not everyone does

And yeah, prydwen very end game focused

I find prydwen to be one of the least biased overall tho

[vagrant ridge]

Uhhhhhhhh idk i just like a lot of the men🤣🤣🤣

I know I wanna use Mydei

[young pond]

Unless it's Kafka, they love her a lot 😂😂

[vagrant ridge]

I just wanna see what characters i could possibly use🙂‍↕️

lol

[tranquil spoke]

Okay, I’ll make a tier list for you pfft

[young pond]

The pros of Kafka hahaa

Also, saying her own dmg is negligible is WRONGGGGG

She could solo any boss anyday

Hys has nothing on herrr

https://tenor.com/view/hazbik-mortal-combat-gif-3795006771601208806

[vagrant ridge]

Lmao thank you💖😂

[young pond]

I would say rn, endgame is cycling through the same teams

Phainon, Cas, SW999 (or any elation honestly), THerta, and Hys premium are the main teams rn

Oh! And Firefly

[tranquil spoke]

It may take me a bit cuz I am also yapping here and have to make dinner, but it shhhhould be done at least in a day or two max, probably today or tomorrow

[vagrant ridge]

Tysmmmm

[tranquil spoke]

Do you want just who’s good for/who works with Mydei… or anything else? Cuz if you want just a Mydei based tier list I can get that to ya in five minutes

[vagrant ridge]

Uhhhhhhh…. Knowing whos good for mydei would be cool but i kinda want a just whos good list in general

If thats okay

[tranquil spoke]

Alright, let me give you a Mydei list, and I can do a “who’s good” list later since that requires more nuance

Alright, here’s Mydei- I can explain why each/any of those characters work or are here if needed

[vagrant ridge]

Which Caelus is that👀

Oooo tysm

[tranquil spoke]

Rememberance!

[vagrant ridge]

Uhhhhhh is that uhhhhhhhhh

Gamba? Fire? I dont think its those…

[tranquil spoke]

The ice path one

[vagrant ridge]

I dont have him yet in the story oof

[tranquil spoke]

Yeee

You don’t have to get tooo far into the next planet for it, though

[tranquil spoke]

I will say- while I won’t dump info on all of them on you unasked, the guy in the bottom row? The form of Blade? Is technichally still not out yet, meaning this is based purely off of the leaks for hit kit. Which may change numbers slightly. Last I checked, he was a really good generalist support, but that could change. I’ll let you know if it does by the time he arrives on banner.

[vagrant ridge]

I didn’t know there was multiple blades lol

[tranquil spoke]

This is his first new form

https://youtube.com/shorts/BbmklejDyQQ?si=EWidWxneRIU--f2r

[vagrant ridge]

Oooooh👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

Hello sailor

[tranquil spoke]

Yes, exactly

Our two latest dudes are… good

Ashveil has a good design too, I really like it

[young pond]

Honestly, I kinda like that Ashveil isn't "meta"

I think it's okay for new characters to not be as good as others

[tranquil spoke]

I think he’ll be very good once he gets his full team

But it’s definitely nice that he wasn’t broken on release

I saw… some people, online, throwing a huge fit that he was nerfed during the beta

Which like… first of all, they always make changes, never get attached

[young pond]

Right

[tranquil spoke]

But also, the same people complain about characters that are meta

[young pond]

They just will never be satisfied

[tranquil spoke]

I’ve seen people throw a huge fit over how strong new releases are, but got annoyed when it was their character who was adjusted

And like… he was genuinely broken in the beta, it was toxic for the game as a whole really

[young pond]

Right

HSR needs to do it more honestly

[tranquil spoke]

I get wanting him to be strong or liking his kit, I’m excited to see how he functions in his whole team- but playing the “they ruined him!!” Game is so dumb

[young pond]

Genshin kindaaa does it, but they just make characters actually bad instead 😭

[young pond]

Rightt

Characters don't have to fit every niche

[vagrant ridge]

This reminds me sm of genshin oh my god

[young pond]

In meta, maybe he's not the best, but in fua he's great

[tranquil spoke]

He’s still perfectly functional too, you can easily casually clear content with him, and we know he does have a best team coming eventually, according to the leaks

[vagrant ridge]

It’s reminding me of everyone complaining about Varka not being as meta as they wanted him when he still did great dmg😭

[vagrant ridge]

Slayyy

I’m excited for Blade

[tranquil spoke]

He is pretty slay

[young pond]

Like no not every new character needs to be aoe, fua, do massive pp damage, have crazy ult animations, and work with Acheron, Cas, and Firefly, etc etc

[tranquil spoke]

The Acheron and Firefly mains arguing over who M! Blade would be a support for pissed me the fuck off 😭

[young pond]

Right like 😭😭

I'll argue that the firefly mains are worse than Acheron mains

Like wdym firefly mains attacked people and threatened people into not pulling for Boothill cause firefly was coming out next banner like bro 😭😭

[vagrant ridge]

I’m a Caelus main😎

[young pond]

I really like that the last 3 paths we got are meta

Or meta equivalent

Like finally! The MC actually being a good character!

[tranquil spoke]

Like. In beta (last I checked) it seemed like he was going to be a generalist buffer who could work in any team. Kinda like a Tribbie. But he’s intended to be for the follow up team with Ashveil. Not every new character needs to be for your main I’m sorry. 😭

The Firefly mains piss me off because like… you don’t have enough already?? An entire team built around you, a brand new support for it, and a novaflare isn’t enough for you?? You dare consider more??

The Acheron mains piss me off because… you got your dedicated support. He may not be as good as you wish he were, and he may need a buff, but you can’t just say she doesn’t have anything. She has less than some other main pushes, yeah, but she still definitely has a clear, intended support, and several options aside from him.

[young pond]

Right!

[tranquil spoke]

I may be biased in that last one though, I guess, because I do like Jiaoqiu

But like… you can’t ignore he exists, he is your built perfect for her teammate, Acheron mains

You can dislike him, think he’s not good enough, whatever- but this is who was made for you and you can’t just say you didn’t get one

I do think he’s very weak, to be clear, and a very justifiable skip- I just think you can’t ignore that he exists and that he was the intended Acheron support

Things do change, but like. Sometimes I swear they forget they did get something.

[tranquil spoke]

Decided to last second pull for Cas lightcone on the account with her

And

It shot my hp up by like a whole thousand, holy fuck

Closer to 800 I guess but

Jesus

[tranquil spoke]

Spent roughly ~80 pulls total on Evenescia- and then got a Bronya like ~20 pulls after, so I’m not on a guaranteeeeeeee baby

Not sure if I wanna go for another copy of Eve or just save, though

I probably could grind up and get it, since I dumped all my extra pulls in after the Bronya, so I’m siting at roughly ~30-40 pity right now

AH- I was on thirty, decided to do one more ten pull

And five star

E1 Evanescia I suppose!!

For like… sixty pulls total

That- I mean I’ll absolutely take that, yeah

If Yao reruns next that’s all my resources gone I guess but

[digital flicker]

evernight is in a much better situation than cas

Infact its better to invest in her than casserole

LOL this time I had an easier time

the cost is quiet high on break side

9 cost team

well my phainon team is 8 cost

My dot team does much better despite being lowest cost ( 2 cost)

[digital flicker]

ISNT META???

bro he is literally EVERYWHERE

ALONG WITH MORTENAX

hsr truly does know how to do men

[digital flicker]

visit the acheron main subreddit. They are willing to take ANYTHING but jiaqiu

honestly Im also willing to get mortenax for acheron

but

my acheron is e0

rather go for a new team than keep dragging the corpse around

its so funny how in acheron server, which was allergic men are all talking about men (mortenax blade, welt, ashveil and Jiaoqiu)

[vagrant ridge]

Oh could someone ping me when the hot Blade comes out LOL

[tranquil spoke]

On it!

Will do

[tranquil spoke]

They’re… something!

[young pond]

Not in endgame content lol

For me, if they don't show up in the clearance lineup they ain't meta 😂

[digital flicker]

He is considered meta. his full team isnt out yet.
watch many acheron mains become ashveil mains

[young pond]

Pls no they can stay with Acheron

[vagrant ridge]

should i do a ten pull on sunday or save everything for Blade?

[tranquil spoke]

Well- well, this is probably Sunday’s last rerun for… a while? I’d guess. He’s Jing Yuan’s best support by a long, long mile- but it’s really up to you on if you want to continue to play Jing Yuan comfortably for a while, or not.

New Blade will inevitably rerun soon, worst case scenario, Sunday will not. So if you want him in any capacity, or want to buff your Jing Yuan- yeah, putting at least a few pulls in is a good idea

[vagrant ridge]

Hmmmm

I’ll do a ten pull and see how i feel lol

[young pond]

Sunday is super versatile

[tranquil spoke]

Mhm- he’s also kinda the only limited male support currently (though he will be joined by M! Blade soon it seems)

Meaning if you don’t like any of the girls, you probably should consider picking him up

[young pond]

Ye

[vagrant ridge]

Okiii tyyy

[tranquil spoke]

For once I’m upset about having such good crit rolls on each piece I want more SPDDDD

[tranquil spoke]

Finally unlocked AA on one of my accounts 🥹 tbf I haven’t really been trying to

And who would have guessed it- it’s the one with a full meta team

I’ve got this riiiight chaaaaatt-

I mean I only have two teams but

Surely this is doable regardless right, riiight

This is a Great Idea

This Will Go Well

…Yeah that went as good as you’d expect it

[vagrant ridge]

Idek what this is lol

[tranquil spoke]

I did get like 87% through the first wave, but I ran out of time and three of my guys died, as expected

[tranquil spoke]

Think like… the hardest game mode in the whole game

And I know you don’t know. But those teams are fucking scuffed

The only good one is the bottom one

[vagrant ridge]

You got this

[tranquil spoke]

I do NOT got this

One of those teams doesn’t have a sustain, has two characters with zero relics on them, basically zero traces, and one is level forty

The only way this is even remotely doable is if I decide to cave and get a copy of HouHou from the shop

[vagrant ridge]

I believe in you

I kinda wanna play

Oh oh i have to ask something about penacony…. ||what the heck was real? Like… if it was all a dream and we never got off the train, how was everything synced between people? How did we do anything? When did everyone start having their own dreams? How did we wake up outside the dream inside the hotel, then end up back at the big fight scene with Sunday?????????||

[tranquil spoke]

Okay okay okay, so it’s been a bit since I played through that section of the story fully, buttt

I will give you the answer though I may be a bit fuzzy

[vagrant ridge]

Tysmmmm

Ily

[tranquil spoke]

||So: We did, indeed, get off the train. Penacony, the Penacony we experienced, is one giant shared dreamscape. We just thought we were waking up from it for a time, even though we were still asleep. The moment we stepped foot on Penacony, or maybe right when we parked next to it, was when we entered that shared dream that had been conjured. Let’s call it the “fake dream” From there, everything we experienced, up until Black Swan revealed that we were in the fake dream, was a part of that fake dream. It was all just an elaborate storyline invented by Sunday. This doesn’t mean the interactions we had were fake, and the stakes were to some extent “real”, it’s more like… they were achieved under false pretenses. To every character, that situation was real. But it was a version of the story that was orchestrated to make us happy with the outcome.||

||After that, we’re still in the dream, we’re still trapped there, we’re just aware now. We then all fight to break out of that dream, and achieve doing so after we defeat Sunday properly that second time. When we “leave Penacony” right before our talk with Black Swan… we aren’t actually leaving Penacony. We were still slumbering away in her grasp. So when it’s revealed to us that we’re trapped… we kinda force our way out of the fake dream, and into the real Penacony. Still sleeping, just, without the fancy, pretty version Sunday conjured up to keep us happy. And from there, we properly defeat him, and break everyone free.||

Ask me for any elaboration needed

[tranquil spoke]

(/gen, it may have been a while but I will yap about this game at any chance)

(Penacony in particular is one of my favorites)

(Though it IS very convoluted)

[tranquil spoke]

Also, unrelated- I just mathed, I only spent 135 pulls total for the E1 Evanescia- absolute score

[vagrant ridge]

Slayyyyy

[digital flicker]

||You see the penacony we first entered was already englufed by memoria so much that reality and dream world combined thats why you see misha (who isnt even real) in reverie hotel. The whole Asdana star system has a lot LOT of memoria and thats why this phenomenon happened in the first place. Now the thing is when we first entered, we THOUGHT there was a clear difference between real world and dreamworld, and dreamworld whatsoever has no effect on reality. Oak family head used it to his advantage and passed on his duty to sunday. Now since everyone is in presence of the memoria, they were all part of a big of it, but some things were fake and inconsistent. Like how the penacony matter got resolved so quickly and happily after Sunday was defeated. Like Jingyuan wasnt even there. Also another thing to note is not everyone was having the same dream. We only got to see TB's version of "happy ending". It feels off but you cant put your finger on it. BS uses that doubt to advantage and we finally see the truth and we "wake up" from fake dream. As said in the quest, the waking up depends on the will power of the person, Robin's being so strong that she was first to wake up, infact she didnt need anyone. After meeting up with others we devise a proper plan. The bullet Boothill shoots is in dreamworld but is known to reach the rangers at any cost. On the other hand Acheron slices the dream again waking up everyone and then we actually fight sunday with Robin's help. If you think about it robin is the real MVP here.||

[vagrant ridge]

||but when did the fake dream start? When we got to the theater??||

[digital flicker]

yes exactly

actually i need to check it

okay essentially this becomes clear in latest quest after amphoreus

||ena's dream starts when we get defeated by sunday||

I feel like there is something wrong with some parts of this explaination so just take a look on the

||fake dream start||

||because we DO meet misha in reality (because of memoria leakage)||

[vagrant ridge]

This is kinda silly what😭

[vagrant ridge]

Tyty i was like what

That graphic is crazy

Lol

Okay i understand now thank you, tho ough that graphic💀

[digital flicker]

ye there are some inconsitencies

even I was confused for a minute

its been long since I played penacony

BUT NOW YOU CAN HOP ONTO THE BANA QUEST!

or skip it entirely and just head to peakest planet amphoreus

very heartwarming story

@vagrant ridge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzyW7FjuwIU

ashikai does it well

I just know your confuzzled brain fuzzling out during Amphoreus ending

XD

honestly if these ytbers didnt exist I would be in same spot

[vagrant ridge]

It’s just cause they didn’t explain well whennnn || the fake dream started so it got confusing lol||

I might watch that in a bit idk

Ty

[tranquil spoke]

I just kinda choose to interpret the story as I understand it in the moment

Which ssssometimes means I’m a little off, but I’ve got a good enough grasp to get the main ideas every time at least

[tranquil spoke]

….I don’t recommend that

There’s also a lot of Loufu stuff that you can do after Penacony- the bana quest though, is uhhh… it’s long, convoluted, and really doesn’t impact the main progression of anything. I’ve played through it four times now, and while it has characters I love in it, I don’t reccomend hopping right into it if you want to enjoy the story and understand it easily

[digital flicker]

same :3

[digital flicker]

Oh I forgot about luofu

when was march tranining thingy and feixiao thingy?

those 2 were really good

Annnndddddd If you ever need the whole cloud quintent backstory ping me whenever!

(seriously Im so bored these days)

[tranquil spoke]

So I did things out of order first so I still get a little turned around, however the order is, as far as I understand: ||Herta Station,Jarilo, Zianzhou Loufu, and then from there we have the Topaz mission on Jarilo again, then HouHou Xianzhou, Herta Station (Ruan Mei), then is Penacony. After Penacony, is when the wardance hits which contains both of those. You also have the whole Bana storyline tight after that, and the Sunday thing comes after both of those. Then is finally when you move onto Amphoreus.||

However that might be considered a spoiler so I’d block that out, for Seaweed

[digital flicker]

Oh yaa!

[tranquil spoke]

https://youtube.com/shorts/tQE8VTb5Zuk?si=bIGJJZa6Vztyb9DO

[digital flicker]

wwzaaaaa

WOWZAAAA

THATS IDRILLA

DAWG

CALL ARGENTI WE HAVE FOUND THE AEON OF BEAUTY

[tranquil spoke]

Hey let’s not discuss story leaks here

Even if it’s stuff we haven’t heard

[digital flicker]

We havent seen any "true" death in this game

and chances are we wont see them

[tranquil spoke]

||Directly mentioning what you haven't heard gives information in and of itself, though. Anyone not familiar with HI3 has no reason to even assume there may be a Himeko death, and you just put it on the table. Even for people who may have known it was an option, saying that there haven't been any story leaks about it is the same as saying there are story leaks about her not dying. Confirmation of a negative is still confirmation. Speculation about upcoming story events is one thing, but you did actively mention leaks here, which is a spoiler, and kind of goes beyond speculation at that point. Especially considering there may be people in this chat who aren't very far in the story. Seaweed is still all the way in Penacony.||

||You specifically mentioned story leaks, and then mentioned that she won't die as a fact. That isn't really speculation at that point, I'm sorry.||

[young pond]

Hey, let's spoiler tag or delete that, that's still story leaks, especially for HI3 💀

[digital flicker]

alright

[digital flicker]

ya you are right sorry

I think I got used to talking about it to other hsr players that I totally forgot the relevance

really sorry

[tranquil spoke]

It’s alright, mistakes happen- just good to know for the future, yeah? Nobody’s mad at you for it or anything. Thank you for taking care of it, I really appreciate it

[digital flicker]

BRO

at 5-8 pity LC

dawg Im so back after E1S1 Dahlia

[young pond]

Slayyy

[tranquil spoke]

Oooh niiice

S1 Yao Guang?

[digital flicker]

EVA 😭

without

s1

yao

guang

😭

[tranquil spoke]

…ooof

[digital flicker]

but I do have yao guang

[tranquil spoke]

I was asking because of your crit ratio lol

[digital flicker]

I didnt farm for her so I just gave her whatever there was in my inv

[tranquil spoke]

I seeee

Well if you get Yao’s signature, that means you hit a hundred crit rate in battle with Eva!

[digital flicker]

I wanted to get huohuo for her

[tranquil spoke]

Right now you’d be at like 91%

[digital flicker]

but the one who was using my account bought e2 robin instead 😭

[tranquil spoke]

Call me crazy, I’m not getting HouHou on my account with Eva, even though I have a token for it

[digital flicker]

I get that huohuo is kinda useless but I needed a sustainnn

[digital flicker]

oh cuz we'll get a proper elation sustain?

PHAINON ICE ELATION SUPPORT CONFIRM????

[tranquil spoke]

Yep- and I managed to full clear MOC on that account somehow with… some of the shittiest builds known to man possibly

[digital flicker]

well moc isnt hardest now

I cleared AA but my elation team is suffering

(Probably because my eva isnt built and EMC is E0)

but it actually died lol

[tranquil spoke]

I did surprisingly clear a little bit of AA with shit teams too

[digital flicker]

EYYY

[tranquil spoke]

Not full clear by any means, shit teams, but yknow

I’ll take it

[digital flicker]

my Knight 2 and 3 are 3 stars

and the king?

1 star 😭

[tranquil spoke]

This is my clear, lmfao

[digital flicker]

this is e0 ff break

[tranquil spoke]

This is a really new account, it’s like… fffive or six months old maybe?

[digital flicker]

I just cant fathom the fact my phainon cant even 2 star the king 🥀

[digital flicker]

Ooo

[tranquil spoke]

Yeah, it’s fresh

[digital flicker]

what teams are you rolling dude

[tranquil spoke]

Mono rem (e0s1 on everyone but Evernight, she’s just e0), and then E1s0 Eva, E0 elation MC, e0s0 Sparkle, and e0s0 DHPT

So one REALLY invested side, and one absolutely not at all invested sized

Side

[digital flicker]

huh your eva is clearing

that means I gotta build her

[tranquil spoke]

Mhm!

She’s got a shit build too.

[digital flicker]

Although Im wondering if I should use elation mc or robin e2

[tranquil spoke]

I will say, her e1 is fucking busted, though

[digital flicker]

dang

as a matter of fact I dont know how ANY elation characters work

[tranquil spoke]

Increases all time res pen by 20%, and then triggers her elation skill after her fox goes. Helps charge her certified banger too.

[tranquil spoke]

Hhhonestly, probably elation mc? I love e2 Robin, got her on my main, but Eva kinda hates action advance

[digital flicker]

aight

thought so too

my account is already bricked anyways XD

[tranquil spoke]

Pat Pat pftt

[digital flicker]

Like look at the names my friend gave my teams 😭

[tranquil spoke]

My main is bricked too

[digital flicker]

Here we are calling ourselves bricked but there are casuals out there pulling whatever they want

actually I was also just an f2p casual

until I realised I need more jades

more jades come from end game

and for endgame I need to have certain characters

and for those certain characters I need JADES

so its a vicious cycle

[tranquil spoke]

I don’t care about endgame on my accounts tbh, aside from the one with mono rem because… I need something that’s tough there

But by meta standards my main is very bricked

[digital flicker]

Same lol

but it aint stopping me from getting E6 PHAINON

HEHEHEHEHE

[tranquil spoke]

Ahh, you fell for the trap.

The thing is, endgame doesn’t give you like, jack shit. It’s useful, sure, but those extra few pulls from the very last stages don’t give you enough to make pulling whole new teams all the time worth it. It feels bad not full clearing, and like you’re missing out- but making it through most of the stages gives the most of the rewards. Super easy trap to fall into, though. The game is designed to try and make you fall for it.

So many of us fall for it 😔

I’m lucky in the sense that I had reasons I didn’t want to pull for… basically? Every top meta team. Which meant that I didn’t fall down that pipeline easily.

[young pond]

Yeah, clearing all the end game content is really only like 15 pulls

[tranquil spoke]

Mhm

And you get most of those from lower floors, too

[digital flicker]

I was too naive at the time. I couldnt see jackshit when it came to phainon

[digital flicker]

Its the last stage which is actually hard. Like there is HUGE SPIKE between MOC 11 and 12, PF 3 and 4, same for AS

so like thats 12-15 pulls in WHOLE YEAR

1-3 pulls per banner rotation

[tranquil spoke]

[digital flicker]

Im really glad for that change. I remember when we couldnt clear MOC 10 on nikador

now its quite easy boss

If someones to actually wants to farm, then they should heed herta's call and finish the damn SU modes 🤣

[tranquil spoke]

Yep pffft

[digital flicker]

Im still missing like 10-15 pulls there

BUT MAN AFTER DU THE SWARM DISASTER FEELS SO ASS

[tranquil spoke]

I don’t mind regular simulated universe, but the different modes are… ehhhh

[digital flicker]

cuz the new modes are ACTUALLY FUN

older ones?

TORTURE

the game literally calls the hard mode "torture mode"

[tranquil spoke]

I’ve got… pfft, 420 jades left on regular simulated universe. But Gold and Gears, Unknowable Domain, and Swarm Disaster are all still a ten pull or higher (1800-2100 jades)

On my main, that is

[digital flicker]

OH THERES ALSO UNKNOWABLE DOMAIN

I FORGOT ABT THAT 😭

honestly that one is most annoying

[tranquil spoke]

I don’t like it

[digital flicker]

especially because of sceptor mechanic

[tranquil spoke]

Like, I love roguelites so you’d think I’d enjoy these but like. It’s just annoying to have to do.

I am however a currency wars fan

[digital flicker]

YEAH

I think they learnt a lot

because each one was an improvment over the other

Currency wars is just peak mode

I think they realised it when they gave prebuilt units in DU

[tranquil spoke]

I’ve got it like… nearly fully completed on one account- I’ve held off from unlocking it on my main because “something something I wanna play the story” but it’s really good. I’m constantly itching to play it whenever I log on.

[digital flicker]

Im avoiding advancing too but only because its too lengthy

and I am too invested to quit mid way

there are even some fun cards in too

like march becoming luocha and exorcising enemies 😭

"I am Luocha!"

[tranquil spoke]

I honestly don’t like this version of DU

The trial units are nice, playing the same teams over and over gets boring sometimes

[digital flicker]

ya

I still cant wrap my head around the new system thou

[tranquil spoke]

But it just doesn’t feel that interesting to me. I’m not sure why. Like, I didn’t like the old version a ton either but it felt easier to just blast through

There’s like… too many options in the new one

[digital flicker]

EXACTLY

its so overwhelming 😭

like you can attach beacons to domains...

[tranquil spoke]

I like the freedom in theory, but there’s just too much stuff

[digital flicker]

card system

pile and discard yada yada

Actually what I miss the most is HEAL

[tranquil spoke]

And I know the rewards are worth it in theory but it takes so much brain power over other things I could be doing

[digital flicker]

in previous DU there were 2 modes day and night

and when you entered night, it would give you heals

although it isnt much

but still felt nice

[tranquil spoke]

I honestly haven’t noticed that change

I don’t really push into the harder modes though, I guess- since I couldn’t figure out if there was an actual reward for doing so or not

[digital flicker]

I only do the harder mode when its about to end lol

they give insight mode

that gives buff when its about to end

[tranquil spoke]

Mhm

[digital flicker]

anything is fun under stress I say!

Everyone should work under stress I say!

🤣

[young pond]

yeppp

[digital flicker]

Hi ATP

wait you are shuniph??

Long time no see

[young pond]

Haha ye ye

[digital flicker]

Yooo

[tranquil spoke]

@vagrant ridge angsty man patch is out now

[vagrant ridge]

AAAAA

[digital flicker]

GRAPHIA RAHHHH

[vagrant ridge]

Updating rn

[tranquil spoke]

I lost my 50/50 for Yao Guang- wish me luck in grinding up another like seventy pulls before the banner changes </3

[vagrant ridge]

I believe in you!!!!😭

[tranquil spoke]

She is kinda the most important member for the team I’m trying to build right now, pfft

It’s very important I manage to get her

[young pond]

Welp, you got like 19ish days!

I will be very sad if I don't get MBlade cause I grinded all his traces and stuff already and no one else uses his traces yet 😭😭😭

[tranquil spoke]

I play to snag him on my main on a rerun, Cyrene is more important right now

Did get him on my EU account on a random ten pull, though

[tranquil spoke]

Going well so far- 20/80 pulls done, if I can continue with this pace, I can get the remaining 60 in the next few days I think

[terse pewter]

🐐

[young pond]

Niceeee

[vagrant ridge]

Whatcha recommend for getting gems?

[tranquil spoke]

Main story is fairly reliable, usually I follow along with that while also running around and collecting as many chests and doing as many puzzles as are on the way. But main story takes a while. Exploration is the fastest way to get them, since it also contributes towards the world shop. There’s loads of old puzzles and things to snag jades from.

Penacony is the best place for it in my opinion

I’ve run… four accounts now?

And the jade count always spikes when you hit Penacony

Amphoreus isn’t too bad either but it is long, and if you’re trying to pay attention to the story too it can get annoying

Otherwise… if you don’t care about side missions? Like ones that only develop the world or side characters and not player characters, there’s a good amount of those you could skip button through if you wanted I suppose

I yapped so much- anyways yeah tldr probably go explore Penacony

[young pond]

Also check for perm events like gold and gears to see if you missed any jades there

Always forget about those things

[tranquil spoke]

Those are good, my worry with that is his builds and character levels that harder content might be tricky

[vagrant ridge]

The world shop????????

[tranquil spoke]

You haven’t- okay. You’ve been to Penacony, yes? You’ve seen the clockie statue? Missing the other two I can see, they’re a little out of your way

[vagrant ridge]

Ty ily

[vagrant ridge]

Oh ive been to clockie

[tranquil spoke]

You go up to clockie, and deposit the world money and get items. There’s something like that for every world. Earlier ones you buy stuff and then get rewards for spending cash, it’s always slightly different. But the tldr is opening chests and doing quests gives you an item you deposit at specific locations

[vagrant ridge]

Oh i know what those are-

I should check on them👀

Tysm

[tranquil spoke]

Thumbs up!!

[vagrant ridge]

Check MARK

[young pond]

Gold and gears is semi similar to SU is it not??

[tranquil spoke]

Kkkinda? From what I recall it is fairly similar

But Seaweed, I do love you though Seaweed, has an… interesting account

That I think would struggle against hard content

[young pond]

Sigh, I remember my early day builds

Horrendous

[vagrant ridge]

I can do it its fineeee

What is golden gears lmao

[young pond]

O- maybe you haven't unlocked it yet? Lemme get a pic

[vagrant ridge]

Ignore that my account is just pretty men-

Actually nvm pretty men central is great

[young pond]

This thing (ignore video)

[vagrant ridge]

Where do i find this lol

[tranquil spoke]

Seaweed… Baby… You asked me if you could run M! Blade, Mydei, Moze, and Caelus in a team together

[young pond]

Somewhere in the rewards guide lmao

[vagrant ridge]

BECAUSE HOTTIES😭😭😭😭😭

I bet i could lol

[tranquil spoke]

…hun

Please don’t

[vagrant ridge]

It would work✨

[tranquil spoke]

No

[young pond]

IN THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS TOO?? AHAHAHHA SKA SAKFJANDKDIANAHHH

[tranquil spoke]

‼️

[vagrant ridge]

Guys if you can’t jump off cliffs in hsr what do you do for wishing rituals???

[tranquil spoke]

Uhhhhh

I sometimes go to a place with significant meaning to that charter

Or play their theme

I did that for Sparxie summons, I put on her music and went to Penacony

[young pond]

I'm too good for rituals

I just use my intuition

And I'm usually right too 😭😭

I predicted that I would lose 50/50 on Hyacine's 1st rerun and I was right, but also predicted that I would get Yao Guang.. and was also right

I would say my intuition works 80% lol

[tranquil spoke]

I can’t feel 50/50s too often but I can feel earlies

[vagrant ridge]

I’m sometimes good at predicting in genshin but hsr i just oooo press button lmao😭

[tranquil spoke]

30/80 pulls down, taking ages because I had something come up but I think we still got this, I’ve got like nineteen days left

[tranquil spoke]

Halfway through!

[digital flicker]

eyyy grats

I lost to welt lol

I was chanting welt

[digital flicker]

in the admiration corner

fill the wall with the character you want

[tranquil spoke]

That is hard for him to do since he doesn’t have the character and hasn’t reached them in the story lol

[vagrant ridge]

I unlocked this recently lol👀

[tranquil spoke]

Finally got her!

Initial build kinda sucks but we work with what we’ve got

[tranquil spoke]

Managed to full clear this MOC 12 in a very scuffed run now that I’ve got her, so that’s sick

[digital flicker]

skill issue

/jk

[digital flicker]

what

I....I did it?

what

I let run on auto believing I wouldnt win and just opened yt to see teams for this

only to come back with prism clear 😭

[tranquil spoke]

Nice!!

I’ve only tried on one account thus far and it didn’t do too hot lmao

So I’m very impressed

[digital flicker]

THIS IS AA IS THE DEATH OF ME

I dont wanna use sustain 😭

[tranquil spoke]

Anyone got any Cerydra build advice? I’m not sure if mine is good enough and I’m curious how everyone else has built theirs up

[vagrant ridge]

Guys i havent played for too long is blade still up plsplsplsplsplsplspls

😭

[tranquil spoke]

He is!

Though not for too much longer

[vagrant ridge]

I GOTTA PLAY TNNNN

AAAAA

TY CHERY

[tranquil spoke]

o7

It’s not like, going away tonight, I think there’s about five or so days left? Maybe more

[tranquil spoke]

Okay, it’s more like 3-4 apparently

[digital flicker]

depends, whats your dps?

[tranquil spoke]

Anaxa

[digital flicker]

Then I dont think spd is that important(?)
aim for 3.3k+ atk and 132/160 spd

[tranquil spoke]

Really? Hunh, okay. I feel like there’s gotta be more I’m missing but I guess not

I guess I could probably use a bit more spd

I haven’t put as much effort into building her as I’d like so I feel like her build really sucks- but everywhere I check says I’m hitting the stat goals, and I keep thinking that cannot be it

[digital flicker]

Oh you have her lightcone

[tranquil spoke]

I do, mhm

[digital flicker]

go for spd

i think its good though

since you are using her for anaxa

for phainon you might have to go for 160+ spd

with different relic set

[tranquil spoke]

📝 📝

I’m not planning to pull Phainon, I don’t think? I’m running her on Sacredos presently, I know some people use wind though

I… am also planning to run 4pc messenger on Cyrene when I get her, too, that might be noteworthy

[tranquil spoke]

I’m so impatient for these banners to change over, it’s a genuine problem

[digital flicker]

sigh

[tranquil spoke]

Congrats

Unless you didn’t want hi

Him

And then pats

[digital flicker]

No i have gambling addiction

I actually pulled him for acheron

But in this game unplanned e0 unit is the worst investment

[tranquil spoke]

Well he’s far from the worst one to pick up like that at least

Considering the whole

Gestures vaguely

Kinda the best buffer in the game, thing

[young pond]

And like, yk, skinny waist

[vagrant ridge]

SOBBING YES I WANT YOU BUT I WANT YOU LATER PLS GIVE ME BLADE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

CHERYYYYYYYYYY😭😭😭

Was around ~58 pity

[tranquil spoke]

…oh you sweet summer child… that’s an early

that you lost though

I’m not sure you have time before his banner leaves- you might need to save for a rerun

[vagrant ridge]

😭

Yeah i get a lot of earlies in hsr

Sobbing

Idk how to get crystals

Besides main quest

But that takes AGESSSSS

and im too weak to finish simulated universe 😭

[tranquil spoke]

Have you been doing your events?

[vagrant ridge]

Also i think i learned that the music is more hype when you get a five star?

[vagrant ridge]

Ehe….

No cause im scared of spoilers….😭

I have like a billion event notifications

Send help

[tranquil spoke]

Okay, fair- what about old events?

[vagrant ridge]

Help😭

😂

Chery what would you recommend i do?

Should i do one of the events thats like a big crystal number? They new tho…

[tranquil spoke]

Where are you in the story, right now? And where are your characters in terms of builds?

[vagrant ridge]

I’m in Amphoreus uhhhh still kinda near the beginning

Uhhhh my teams are… okay?

My teams cough not really teams

My teams are like…. I love my characters, then went to i love these men, and then these men too, then these men too…..

😭

[tranquil spoke]

Have you done any of the orange story expansions or just the big main yellow quests?

[vagrant ridge]

How do i check?

I dont think ive done any of them

So many…

Also theres blue ones too

Oh im on heroic saga of flame chase

[tranquil spoke]

I’m gonna assume no, which does limit us a bit on what events I can send you onnnn- hmmmmm

[vagrant ridge]

Which quest should i do maybe?

[tranquil spoke]

Okay, you should be able to do “currency wars” without spoilers I think, if that’s available to you. Though grinding through all of it right now isn’t achievable, it can definitely give a quick boost at the start.
You could maybe try Aetherium Wars too?
A Foxian Tale of The Haunted is a good boost too but it takes ages, especially if you’re not skipping story…

But I’m not really sure you have the time to do long grinds, though

You could probably eek out some stuff from currency wars, I think

[vagrant ridge]

TYSM

what should i do afterwards to start saving and being a normal player lmao

[tranquil spoke]

Work through your quest backlog- especially the orange quests so you don’t have to worry as much about story spoilers. I’ll get you a list of what order to go in when it… isn’t 2am

Other than that- it’s honestly a lot due to consistency? I’m very much a casual player, I’m not even caught up on story, but a lot of it is just logging in nearly daily, doing dailies, and chipping away at stuff you haven’t done yet a bit at a time

I will stress not to get caught up on grinding enough to get him before he leaves, though, his banner has like ten hours left. You have a guarantee, as long as you can save up consistently until his next rerun you’re set

[vagrant ridge]

Tyyyy

[tranquil spoke]

o7

Hopefully tomorrow you’ll see me showing off my own pink haired girl that I’ll reluctantly be grabbing from her rerun /silly

Good luck!!

[digital flicker]

Cant clear AA 0 cycle with acheron team even with this

Atp Im dragging acheron's corpse to do clear stuff

For some reason my phainon is not hitting 2.5 million

Hitting 1.5 mill instead

Amd dont even get me started on "hemovore" Thingy

Its the worst debuff I have encountered

Since I use phainon sustainless without cyrene

[digital flicker]

You are not alone on that dont worry lol

If you go to quest reward guide in the event menu

You'll see all thr jades you are missing

Besides that there are minigames in penacony that give a lot of jades

There is something like that in xianzhou too

You can also offer regional credits/buy items in old planet stores to get jades

Theres clockie in penacony

The basin thing in amphoreus

You can find birds in penacony to get jades

You can find beetles in amphoreus to get jades

Complete puzzles

[vagrant ridge]

I was able to do one more wish but im too tired😭

Falling asleep doing currency wars even tho i like it

Sobbing

OH IN IT ONE OF ROBINS MOVES PLAYS HER MUSIC LIKE A WHOLE SONG

DOES IT DO THAT WITH HER CHARACTER? IF SO IM GETTING HER IN THE MORNING LMAOOO

[tranquil spoke]

Mhm!!

[vagrant ridge]

Omggggg

I finally am gonna use one of those free character thingies

[vagrant ridge]

I GOT HIM IN UNDER TEN PULLS‼️‼️‼️‼️

CHERYYYYYYYYYY

EHEHEHEHE

I should probably put robin instead of Gallagher😭

[young pond]

YAYYYYYY

They heard your distress 😂

CONGRATSSSSSSS

Also, no, use Gallagher, you need a healer or M!Blade WILL NOT WORK

He drains HP but doesn't regenerate his own like Blade

Trust, I tried using him with a shield instead of a healer, did not go well lol

He was basically on 1 HP the whole time and couldn't do anything

[tranquil spoke]

YOOOOOOOOOOOO

Also no, please do not

Do not put Robin instead of a healer on your hp draining team

[tranquil spoke]

Pulling for Cyrene, wish me luckkkk

81 pity, lost, 77 pity, got her

[young pond]

Right lol, both dps are hp drain 😂😂

[tranquil spoke]

Huzzah, day one build

[vagrant ridge]

Isn’t Robin a healer!?😭

Omg I want Phainon

[tranquil spoke]

Nope! She’s a support

She does buffing

[vagrant ridge]

Darn

I like her music😔

[tranquil spoke]

You can use her to replace Caelus- she buffs attack which is useless on Mydei and Blade but she buffs follow up stuff and Blade can kinda use that, and some of her generalist buffs are pretty okay too

I would however probably remove Mydei from the team and use someone who actually does follow ups

Moze for example

[vagrant ridge]

Ok so i got blade at 6 pity he was my 6th pull after losing the 50/50 lol

Ooooo Moze

Eeee feel weird getting rid of Caelus LOL but maybe

[tranquil spoke]

I fear you will have to eventually

[vagrant ridge]

😭😭😭

He cute too tho

[digital flicker]

Well she can sustain if you kill the boss before you die

Since she action advances everyone

[digital flicker]

What is that team

What in the superbreak crit debuff team is that

Do you have welt?

Actually

You can use ratio moze mblade and Gallagher/luocha

[tranquil spoke]

I think we’ve been over the fact that Seaweed doesn’t build normal teams multiple times already, lol

[vagrant ridge]

Ye

[vagrant ridge]

LMAOO

I just… put men i like LMAO😭

[digital flicker]

I just keep forgetting sob

[digital flicker]

I wish it was like that

[vagrant ridge]

LOL

[digital flicker]

then how about you go like this?

Choose your one favourite man

then build a team around it

[vagrant ridge]

Ehhhh its kinda fine for main story i thinkkk

Also fair

[digital flicker]

you can build MANY TEAMS like that

each dedicated to your favourite man

[vagrant ridge]

Tbf idk how to build teams anyways 😂😭

[digital flicker]

Main dps + someone who buff dps (harmony) / someone who debuffs the enemy (nihility) + subdps/ dedicated support + sustain

if you go in the character menu

the game tells you

a team

that reminds me I havent open hsr today

[young pond]

pls use prydwen 😭 they tell you literally how to build the characters + who they work best with

At least this phase is skip for me

Himeko Nova plsssss I need her SO BADDDD

PLSSSSSSS

[vagrant ridge]

Tbh im kinda temped to get Phainon but i also have nothing saved lmao😭

[young pond]

lolll

I have a vendetta against Cyrene for being doodoo soo

and I already have Phainon

Do my teams need Cyrene? Maybe

Will I get her? Mmmmmm no

Tribbie haunts me though

grrr

OOOO LEMME BUILD WELT THENNN 😋

I love when I have a new character to build

[tranquil spoke]

I did nottttt want Cyrene on my main, but I caved

[tranquil spoke]

Look, okay, anything for Anaxagoras okay

I had to

[digital flicker]

No.

e2s1 phainon over cyrene

Why go for cyrene e2 when you can go for cerydra e1

[tranquil spoke]

For Phainon specifically you don’t need Cyrene- a lot of other Chrysos heir teams do somewhat need her tho

[fierce verge]

woof?

[tranquil spoke]

Or at least heavily benefit from her

And I assume won’t hold up well in the long run without her

I think- Phainon doesn’t really like her all that much, Hysilens has better options I think but Cyrene also is fine there. Like every other main dps Chrysos heir kinda wants her, I thinkkk? Mydei wants her pretty badly, Anaxa has substitutes but flows better with her and I assume will end up sort of needing her eventually, Aglaea doesn’t need need her I suppose but she’s super useful from what I understand, and she’s practically built for mono remembrance.

I am just assuming based on the “s” in teams there they have other Chrysos heir dpses though pfft. If it’s just Phainon skipping her due to not liking her isn’t even really a loss.

[young pond]

I have other Chrysos heir characters I just.. can't be bothered with her 😂

I got Phainon at E0S1 rn, but I'm skipping this one cause me want Himeko nova

I want a use for Welt 😂😂

[tranquil spoke]

Fairrrrrrr

(Kit leaks for Himeko Nova) ||My account is probably pretty good for Himeko Nova- (I’ve got Sunday e0 s1, and I’ve got an e2 Welt that I could probably upgrade to e4 soon if I wanted- but… I dunno, do I really need another DPS?||

[young pond]

But... It Himeko

[tranquil spoke]

Very true

Counter point, I already have Kafka no other DOT units and Firefly no other break units on my main account, I really don’t need another dps

[young pond]

You don't pull just to pull?

I eat up everybody

[tranquil spoke]

Not really? I try not to, at least

I didn’t really understand how pulling worked at first, HSR was one of my first gachas, so I made some bad choices and have since learned to try and avoid them

[vagrant ridge]

I only pull for characters i want lol

[digital flicker]

I have gambling addiction.

[terse pewter]

got her in 90 even with losing the 50/50 🙏🏾

[tranquil spoke]

She’s so prettyyyyy

I want her so badddd

[terse pewter]

https://klipy.com/gifs/goodluck-19

[tranquil spoke]

I’m probably not pulling for her I fear, unless I do it on an alt… I don’t need another dps

[digital flicker]

Same :')

[tranquil spoke]

I want her soooo bad though

[digital flicker]

Control yourself

Guh

I want to waste these pulls on spaxie

[tranquil spoke]

Hold strong!

[young pond]

intuition told me I would lose and I tried anyway 😭

MY HIMEKOOOOOOO

https://klipy.com/gifs/emoji-crying-10

[tranquil spoke]

Finallyyyyy

So glad I didn’t lose the 75/25
