didn't take too long to figure out gustaf at all
helps that he's completely passive before low hp, and that he doesn't have a stopper so you can skip his low hp phase outright
but you can't see his hp bar so you won't know until after your af is done whether you killed him
and he has around 920 million hp
so my solution was just to use op units lol
needed a few runs to figure out the first few turns and another run to figure out my af sequence, but yeah, not too bad
while i extol minalca's praises, flammelapis is the main dps here, with minalca as a sub dps and break support
3 supports plus minalca was nowhere near enough damage, so i switched to that 2 dps setup
necoco makes it work since scintillant spirit is bullshit
the whole fight is done in 3 turns so i can spam neptune in af instead of flammelapis' other nuke, since neptune is bigger but also stuns her after turn 3
also need to spend turns setting up af, since gustaf drains some of the meter when the fight starts
aisha is the obligatory fire zone setter and general support, and just a nice glue in general
i think necoco as+zone setter is just a generally nice core, moreso if your attacker is light instead of shadow, but even shadow attackers are fine
i almost wonder if i could have one turned it running a different setup
probably not tbh
oh he actually has a bit over 974 mil hp lol
astral drift
The biggest tsun
old galleon
tihs took longer than i'd like to admit, but dr fetan is dead now
no zone for this one, he's weak to all physical damage so it's easier just to abuse skull and flame crush equipped to rosetta to keep af gauge high
kid is the obligatory resistance debuffer since he has naturally very high type resistance
and minalca ignores his barriers
pretty straightforward once i unfucked my equipment setup
oh also freeze rng never mattered
another reason rosetta's in there is to help with the status spam, so it all worked out
also shout out to rosetta for being more useful in her ns than as lol
i saw a funny 2 turn clear of this bastard earlier, using minalca and violet as double dps
sadly since that requires using iphi, i can't replicate it

old galleon
finally took down this smug son of a bitch
by far the worst of the four heads for the strats i was using
fetan had exploitable weaknesses, gustaf could be taken down in one af, and tomas actively encouraged fire, which is my strongest setup
ikaruga.....is a bitch
no exploitable weaknesses, since hitting it buffs him to the point of futility, multiple stoppers, buff/debuff/status wipes, big nukes
even a knockback to add salt to the wound
even with barrier pierce it took me probably 10 or so runs to finally figure out something that worked
two superbosses left in the new content
i'm not looking forward to either of them
one of them is a rematch against aspid, except much more powerful, the other is a rematch against picky, except a legit fight this time
old galleon
anyway, i'm downloading star rail now
aside from it not actually launching until the 26th, is there anything i should know about it going in?
all i know about it is that it's related to honkai impact 3rd and is turn based
long tree
Honkai are beings that like to invade other (usually technologically advanced) dimensions and timelines. Herchers are what happens when a person gets corrupted by a honkai, granting them strength with the downside of creating an alternative them that takes over their body
Oh also a lot of the units given to you are good good
old galleon
noted
not that it's guaranteed to be like its predecessor, but how does it handle freebie units?
is it more like what i'd see in a game like fgo, or more like genshin?
long tree
Probably more like genshin
You'll get some free from events every now and then and a good chunk to start with
But the rest you're gonna have to pull
Oh right I should also mention that cognosphere (formally mihoyo) are very in to LGBT relationships and do their best to show them despite the censorship
old galleon
i don't mind that
long tree
So if you see two people of the same gender talking with each other a lot or mentioning each other a lot, that's the best they can do rn
old galleon
just as straight relationships are part of the world, so are lgbt+
long tree
The most they've gotten away with is Kiara and meis relationship in honkai third impact
And they still have to call each other friends
old galleon
ye the ccp be like that
old galleon
assuming my computer can play it, i'll be trying it out
at the very least, the download is going pretty smoothly so far
genshin always takes forever for some reason
anyway, my fgo or genshin-like was in terms of how they handle distributing them
long tree
old galleon
i kinda expect it to be more like genshin where you get one copy and have to pull the rest
long tree
Genshin doesn't do that for most characters, just the odd ones they give out here or there
But I'd imagine star rail does that too
old galleon
genshin has definitely given out freebies before, but they're all standard gacha units and you only get the one copy
probably too early to determine for star rail
but eh

Who the heck is this guy?
Shows up out of nowhere and uses some sort of nature Arts to go toe-to-toe with one of the Lazurites
old galleon
might i interest you in a game mode called integrated strategies?
it has some units who aren't playable otherwise
touch is one of them
in lore she's an elite op
so yes, i would expect her to be able to go toe to toe with the lazurites

i love the bridge puzzles
like where u have to walk across
and like hit each one once
long tree
Meanwhile genshin puzzles are "do small manual labour" or "here play sudoku except your medium of doing so is fucking bullshit"
dull bridge
imma be honest
everything asied from characters
ive liked more in star rail
||also fire mc is fucking insane like im able to cheese every single fight with it||
ooh
io found the sprial abyss
lmao
dull bridge
this game has felt VVERRRY simialar to genshin
for me
oifc no open world
bvut like everything else
old galleon
this is a genshin game with a honkai skin
^
dull bridge
ive never played honkai but yeah i totally agree its v similar to gennshin
honestly
i enjoy it more personally
old galleon
honkai impact 3rd was a very different style of game iirc
old galleon
well, turn based and open world aren't mutually exclusive
dull bridge
well, turn based and open world aren't mutually exclusive
well sure
but idk how to describegenshin combat
old galleon
genshin combat is basically real time action rpg style
dull bridge
ok
i do like turn based more
also i like open world more
actually
that's still to be decided
im having shell of a time tho
story mega fun
old galleon
again, turn based and open world are separate concepts
turn based is a descriptor of the combat, open world is a descriptor of the exploration
dull bridge
again, turn based and open world are separate concepts
i know
i was saying
for combat i like turn based over rpg
for explorstion i liked open world over whatever u call honkai
i didn't explain myself well
old galleon
honkai is more linear exploration, i'd say
dull bridge
sure
old galleon
you have clearly defined points a and b you go to, with relatively little freedom to explore beyond that in a given map
but yes, i'd agree on preferring turn based over real time, simply due to having grown up with more turn based rpgs and being more comfortable/familiar with them
just note that you can interrupt turns with ults, so it's not purely turn based
dull bridge
yeah
that's actually what makes it really fun for me
that other element
also
its not button spam
you kinda have to think a bhit more

Clara in the roguelike system with all the follow-up attack boosts is absurd lmao

The only consistent thing are Calyxes I think

There are also just too many systems tbh
Something I generally dont like about Gachas
glossy latch
Forgotten Hall, Simulated Universe, Calyx and so on

Do you normally get Asta in your very first warp summon?
mystic python
From the 1 pull they make you do I think so ye
summer hornet
Gotcha
old galleon
Do you normally get Asta in your very first warp summon?
asta is guaranteed, yes
summer hornet
Alright, so I’ll do a little more exploring into the rest of the cast
Made it up to this point (she’s an absolute gremlin and she sounds eerily like Ironmouse), and I’ll probably call it a night here
When I wake up I’ll progress some more and actually do some proper summons
…and Ultra Impact will probably have to go

there's a pin for hsr since that's getting pretty popular in here
lmk if there are any good resources i missed
old galleon
The server you choose will for the most part only affect your ping, which is less of an issue in turn-based games.
grindblue fantasy has something to say about this : ^)

you know what's worse than pulling for 5 copies of a unit so they can reach thei...
then there dokkan battle if your insane you need 5 copies to get potential then another copy for super attack
you can be big idiot and use 19 OTHER COPIES to increase super attack
or you can just get the base that your getting the rainbow lr and a copy and use 9 supreme kais on the rainbow unit that can turn into lr and 9 supreme kais on the copy

cool event i give it a 8/10

not sure if i can finish the point ladders

You guys already finished the event story?

Assuming you’re talking Star Rail?

I started with the English dub because I heard they got Trash Taste voice acting in minor roles, but…
slow raft
~~ it really shows that only one of em has va in the name~~
dull bridge
time to go back to grinding
summer hornet
I may give the English subs a try today, the dub isn’t Zexal-tier or anything but it’s definitely not the greatest
glossy latch
Idk, I do like Sampos VA a lot
summer hornet
Just one- Fartooth!
slow raft
nice
i can lend you mine if you want
you were one of the lucky ones that got horse uncle early, right?
summer hornet
sort of?
slow raft
earlier than me at any rate
summer hornet
I had to exchange the medals/merits I got from my initial fails for a few extra tickets, and then he came on the last ticket
summer hornet
earlier than me at any rate
but by this metric, yes
summer hornet
but also 
slow raft
what an incresibly specific achievement
slow raft
<:EZ:873056992019759124> but also <:deadinside:823133346573713442>
its fine, i will simply get texalter with the free pulls
<- clueless

old galleon
on my last two regular banners, i've gotten
welt
welt dupe
consecutively
so now i'm sitting on an e1 welt i haven't built yet
i'll probably end up building him for imaginary element if nothing else
since there's lots of shit weak to it and he's the only imaginary unit i have so far
idle grove
I got welt from my guaranteed then did a roll and immediately got 10 light cones
I think the only character I got that isn't obtainable f2p so far are welt and asta
old galleon
asta is guaranteed in the tutorial
guaranteed freebies so far are one copy each of dan heng, march 7th, asta, serval, natasha, and qingque, alongside e3 herta
i don't think i missed anyone there
beginner banner 5* is from a pool, so that's rng
obv this excludes the traiblazer, who is just like the traveler from genshin
apparently their fire form is actually really good, but i haven't experimented yet since i'm not that far in the story
idle grove
oh sure so I literally only have uh
welt as a character I can't get f2p
my luck has been horrendous so far lmao
slow raft
roll 80 and still no seele
prayge for the coinflip ig
long tree
🙏
glossy latch
How did you roll 80 already
long tree
💸
glossy latch
I dont think Guy spends money on Gachas though ... right?
slow raft
i have spent like 30 euro total on gachas in the past 3 years
i just farmed a shitton for this one
also i havent just rolled 80
ive rolled twice that, the 80 is just on this banner
long tree
i just farmed a shitton for this one
How I'm level 28 I got like 60 pulls
slow raft
skill issue i think
long tree
slow raft
im level 21 btw
idle grove
yeah not sure if it's just genshin type games that I struggle with but
leveling feels mad slow and I have no idea how you get so many rolls lmao
slow raft
how do you not
long tree
Oh right Guy since your near the pity, can you screenshot your pull when you get your 5 star, cause I'm trying to work out if this game has the genshin pity system
Because if it does it should be mathematically impossible for anyone to hit the 90 pull cap
slow raft
will do
glossy latch
Wdym?
slow raft
if it works similarly to the arknights pity system it just slowly increases the pull rate
arknights for example has a 2 percent chance for the highest rarity
and every roll after the 50th increases that chance by 2
summer hornet
My 3 pulls so far
Not the most inspiring, ngl
Still doing a bunch of quests around the space station, and I’m not totally sure of what stuff you’re supposed to do to progress yet
But the gameplay loop is fun! I need a healer tho
old galleon
Still doing a bunch of quests around the space station, and I’m not totally sure...
the various quests are labeled; if you want to progress main story as fast as possible, just do those, but side quests are an important source of trailblaze exp and trailblaze level will eventually cap you
old galleon
But the gameplay loop is fun! I need a healer tho
if you don't pull a healer in the gacha, you will get one a bit later in the story
otherwise, use march 7th to mitigate damage for now
summer hornet
👍
glossy latch
I genuinely wonder how the fuck Guy has already got 80 pulls
slow raft
uhh
well you get some pulls for ascending chars
and from buying from the shops
the uh
mirro thing is also helpful
otherwise just chests n shit
2 levels and i get another 15 pulls 
that means i only need 800 stellar jade to hit pity
glossy latch
I thought ascending characters only gives you regular pulls
glossy latch
... how many pulls did you do there?
slow raft
i did the 50 in the beginner, 80 in the seele banner and 10 minuted ago i did pull number 40 in the standard banner
well, 41, the tutorial counts
slow raft
i have an innate understanding of how to leverage gacha systems to get as much currency out of them as possible ig?
i just do everything that comes up
glossy latch
I thought I did too
slow raft
actually wait thats wrong, there is one thing i didnt do yet
could get more pulls here, but i feel thats not worth
glossy latch
Wait you didnt even use that
Where did you get the star shards or whatver from???
I do like all the chests and sidequests
And Im nowhere near
slow raft
i did the other one
slow raft
And Im nowhere near
probably just a skill issue, idk
did you get the pulls from pom pom?
the ember exchange?
slow raft
the ones you get for spending enough planer excluseive ecurrency?
slow raft
i have like 73 achievements, but thats not much jade overall
youve prolly already done simulated universe, and there you can also get a few pulls
glossy latch
Aye
slow raft
yeah thats all
glossy latch
Mmh
slow raft
yeah im not coming up with anything else tbh
id ask how many missions youve completed, but theres isnt a log for that
slow raft
theres a whole bunch of adventure quests you get just by walking around/talking to people
glossy latch
I think I did most?
Like right now I can get 55 total in Seeles event
And Im at level 26
slow raft
How bizzare!
dull bridge
apparently their fire form is actually really good, but i haven't experimented y...
it's cracked
sorry for ping btw
forgot to turn off
i have a really nice f2p team
that's just fire trailblazer march 7th natasha and any dps
and i'm just able to clear most things with ease
it takes a bit long if dps is under level
but
it's not like most fights are timed in this game
old galleon
that's just fire trailblazer march 7th natasha and any dps
pure freebie team is probably this comp plus dan heng if you need wind or high st dps, or serval if you need lightning and/or aoe
jury's out on if herta is actually bad like people say she is, but if you need aoe ice, you can run her since you're not spamming march's ult every turn
dull bridge
tried to do simulation world 4 boss
was just too hard
was able to get through phase 1 and half of jade 2
damn
before there was just too much dps
my team is super low level tho
trailblazer and my dos of choice is 50
natasha and march 7 is 40
my relics are horrible
so idk
mystic python
I sure am perplexed
I'm at like 90-100 total limited pulls, you get a lot from hall of memories and doing simulated world a bunch, plus I'm missing like 1 chest between the space station and Belebog combined
Every new curio you pick in simulated world is 30, and I think floors in hall of memories are 200?

Made it to the first planet, and I have discovered that the MC has an absurd obsession with trash cans. It is Glorious

clara can handily replace physical mc
run her with march for taunt/shield synergy
but ||don't neglect to level mc, as they'll be required for story content later||
summer hornet
No worries, everyone’s between level 15 and 20 rn
summer hornet
clara can handily replace physical mc
I figured Clara was good, but not that good, dang
Any advice on a fourth member here?
old galleon
clara/march/serval/dan heng for now, probably
you also have pela leveled so you can swap out either serval or dan heng for her depending on if you don't need aoe or st, i guess
the comp i ended up running before seele was clara/march/natasha/fourth member, adding seele in once i got her
also, yes, unit position does matter
the units you plan to tank hits, put them on the outer edge of the comp, so either in the 1 or 4
and adjust accordingly
summer hornet
The AI favors outside members for attacks?
old galleon
less that, more if the ai hits your tank with a splash attack you want them only hitting 2 people instead of 3
summer hornet
Ohhhhh
old galleon
so i'd run clara on the edge since i typically used march's skill targeting clara
