Star and Stripe

[calm vigil]

I mean

yeah beamer viability scales with your aim yeah

unless you’re playing aam or fairy

[golden glen]

thing is those characters beam just as good if not better

while flying around

thats the sad part

[calm vigil]

yeah but that’s a bad point to make

why play anyone else if aam is just better

perhaps I enjoy the kit of stripes

[golden glen]

she needs movement

her kit is aight

look at rapid all might for example

[calm vigil]

he’s a rapid

[golden glen]

thats why i main her as well

her alpha is so good

[calm vigil]

she’s kinda like denki super good alphas not the greatest movement

that’s just how the kit is

[golden glen]

gg then

[dusk viper]

not everyone needs to move like a rapid

she's lucky to even have anything resembling an escape, reminder dabis and shiozakis and assault kendos and momos exist

we had a rapid meta, it was super annoying then, it's getting old now

[golden glen]

It is

Fair enough. Just nerf the rapids

But yea let's see about that 😅

[main lotus]

I feel like her vacuum could use another charge

[hardy island]

nooooo, 2 vacuums is insane, the stormtrapping would go stupid

[main lotus]

Maybe I just need to get better at her I love her design 😌😩 a real muscle mommy

[dusk viper]

any....way yeah more than one beta especially level 9 small circles with aoe slop about would be nuts

[autumn marlin]

Beta into Alpha is already pretty lethal so yeah I don't think it's really needed. Hell I think the Beta reload is pretty quick maxed out too.

[smoky viper]

Yeah it's pretty generous, it's great for defense too if you need to make a getaway

[calm vigil]

the idea of two betas is just awful dude

there should never be a scenario where you can just stack them that’s just awful

[hardy island]

the gravity would probably stack too, so you'd be 2x as movement restricted

[valid vigil]

how to escape star beta then instant gamma combo with tech toga if possible

[dusk viper]

Roll

That's kinda it

[valid vigil]

you can roll out of the attack?

[dusk viper]

You can roll in her beta yeah...

It'll pull you towards the center after the roll but you can just keep mixing up how you roll and avoid stuff

[valid vigil]

but there's no way to actually leave the beta until it turns off?

[dusk viper]

Mmmmm depends who you are. Mirio can literally do any permeation and just leave, even just tapping special action on then off just lets him walk out for some reason.... cementoss/yellowhaul can pillar and leave the circle that way, cutting off the LoS, but anyone that is just like "me move fast" usually just gets trapped looking like a fool.

[calm vigil]

deku is so fast he can just roll out of it

[dusk viper]

In overdrive i guess he could. Can't do lock on to get out though

[calm vigil]

just have fifth gear and roll

[median coral]

I kinda wish her Gamma was easier to break out of with Overhaul’s Special Action ngl

[proud hawk]

Balance Patch next week potentially. I know they don't often change the most recently released characters but I'm hoping they give Star some tweaks

-Making the Gamma more consistent (doesn't randomly end early attacking someone that doesn't exist, drop the person out of the beam, or just knock them up without starting the beam)

-Making the Special Action more useful in later circles (a minimum duration in final circles) even if that hurts the immediate healing later circles give.

-Making Beta better contain players when in the air. Sometimes it just doesn't pull them in and they just fall straight through.

What changes would you like to see to Star my fellow Americans? 🫡 🇺🇸

[calm vigil]

less endlag on gamma whiff and literally nothing else

[proud hawk]

Yeah, getting the inertia buffs others got would be excellent

[calm vigil]

she would be prenerf nagant tier im fr

[dusk viper]

idunno bout that, i don't think everyone should get the inertia buff strictly because i'm tired of all the mobility. someone having ok mobility for a change is fine

[proud hawk]

New Order: This balance patch will fix Star's bugs!

[calm vigil]

wake up to reality

[dusk viper]

New order: copium

[broken ridge]

Tell that to a fountain

[smoky viper]

For America

[pallid bridge]

But when I use beta nothing hits and they're movement starts bugging around

[smoky viper]

😭

Everything worked out for me that game ngl but now gamma is back to whiffing 😔

[dusk viper]

yeah, we love gammas that can't make up their mind if they wanna hit or not

[smoky viper]

Was fighting this overhaul 3v1 and I went 1/10 on gamma attempts

Actually embarrassing

[pallid bridge]

No because it actually isn’t even our fault

[smoky viper]

Fr

[pallid bridge]

Our gamma just sucks

Beta is buggy asf doesn’t even work 90% either

We have like a top 3 alpha tho atleast

[dusk viper]

Meanwhile overhauls saying their gammas don't hit but that does some wonky stuff to hit me

[pallid bridge]

NO FR

AROUND CORNERS AND EVERYTHING

[smoky viper]

Nah bruh his gamma tracking got shadow buffed or something cuz he was hitting 180° gammas

[dusk viper]

i would watch him come towards me, roll, and he just turns to me anyway and now i'm in gaara's sand coffin for some reason

[hallow chasm]

I get jumped easily when using this character man, and there's no real way of defense

[dusk viper]

Yeah your defense option is fight back or perish

[pallid bridge]

AMERICAAAAA!!

[calm vigil]

best you got is gamma into storm

[hallow chasm]

Rip

And she gets packed in 1v1s

I must be missing something

[calm vigil]

you can gamma beta on wakeup or just beam them to death

she wins a lot of 1v1s by just beaming people to death

low dp high damage

[hallow chasm]

I see

[dusk viper]

hi damage yes, but in that time somone like deku can just rush you down fast

[autumn marlin]

I usually just Beta to force someone in a spot long enough for me to align some Alphas

If they don't dodge it consistently I get some good damage off of the Gamma afterwards too, assuming it lands

[smoky viper]

Beta is your best friend in those situations

[hallow chasm]

Yo so what do I do when I'm gammaing sumone and everyone and there moms is shooting me mid gamma

[calm vigil]

I usually only go for gamma in isolated fights

[proud hawk]

Yeah, it is a good 1v1 options because as soon as you lose the damage resistance you will get melted

[pallid bridge]

Star is like potential woman in this game

She MIGHT do big dmg

[calm vigil]

aim to value scale on her is higher than most other chars

up there with nagant

[dusk viper]

when the stars align (heh) she can do huge damage

as long as the win condition is there

[silk coral]

Not going to lie I have been leaving people just down instead of finishing them off to bait people into rescuing them and just use their down body for aim

Getting the kill is so much better

But like the potential

[calm vigil]

nah body bait is genuinely optimal on stars

cant count the amount of times ive killed an entire team just doing that

[sudden wraith]

does anyone kmnow the exact numbers for her sa?

[dusk viper]

as in how long it lasts..?

or for healing

[smoky viper]

Justice served

[proud hawk]

She's so good at making a chaotic circle much cleaner.
Their match be so fine and then boom....right into the woodchipper

[smoky viper]

Frfr

[autumn marlin]

It's very satisfying, I thought the Gamma would be the best part but there really is nothing better than hitting a ton of enemies at once through one target

[proud hawk]

Strike Mic got the Inertia buff. Hopefully Star gets it too

[merry coral]

Did they fix her gamma without saying anything??? I swear its connecting fine now

edit its still not perfect but feels a bit more reliable?

[smoky viper]

Dam

[proud hawk]

Tempted to replace Card Dupe on Default Queen with Mirko's Tuning so I use the extra wake up distance to backstab someone with a Gamma

I've seen Kaminari/Electrification users fling themselves at people with Bunny Hop and wonder if Star would like it too

[smoky viper]

That's what I have, it's so good for beta setups
