if not for that i'd have march on the outside and use her skill on herself

[summer hornet]

That makes a ton of sense, I didn’t even consider the possibility of splash attacks being used against me

[old galleon]

i'll note that march doesn't guarantee a taunt on her target, but she does make it more likely

she goes with clara since clara counters when she's hit

so you put a big-ass shield on her, she takes hits, she counters, march also counters, and it helps makes enemies die faster

[summer hornet]

Good to know, I was mildly worried that the counterattack effects wouldn’t overlap

Like Clara would need to take damage for giant robot to counterattack

[old galleon]

she doesn't need to take damage, only get hit

also i sent you a friend request

feel free to use seele to murder shit when you're in content that lets you use supports

[summer hornet]

Gonna crash for now, but I will take full advantage of this in the future

[slow raft]

Herta so good frfr

[glossy latch]

Clara is fun

But I need to figure out who to place next to hear for splash damage

Maybe March

[slow raft]

turn out i miscounted my pulls

somehow i thought i did 20 more than i did

[glossy latch]

[idle grove]

[long tree]

I'm about 10 away from what was genshins soft pity, so come tomorrow I'm saving up for the Jing banner

[idle grove]

love my free 10 roll

this game is allergic to giving me 5*s

[long tree]

.6% rates be like that

[idle grove]

it do be

one of the reasons I never got into genshin tbh

[late canopy]

It really needs to be adapted to in Genshin

5* are less of something you luck into randomly and more like a long term project that you know will show up at pity

[dull bridge]

well

i lost the 50/50

but i'm not mad

not at all

[glossy latch]

That element feels like the hardest one to get ngl

Yeah its only on a 5-star

[dull bridge]

he dosent fit into my tesm@tbo

which is sad

but is there a better team i can build

🤔

[dull bridge]

ugh

it feels weiord to not have natasha and march 7th

fgo bros

is the best supp CE still mona lisa

[copper steppe]

in max ce yes

[idle grove]

thought so

time to spend my prisms

[dull bridge]

does anyone know how to get past this locked door

in the space station

its the only chest im missing and its kinda triggering me

[slow raft]

the door gives you hints where to fidn the passports needed

one is in the master control zone, next to the shop

the others i picked up while exploring so i dont remeber

https://tenor.com/view/bweh-etto-aquafina-ah-ahh-gif-26792271

[glossy latch]

You have to find 3 key items yeah

[dull bridge]

a;right

ive realized only wya to get exp now is to get all the chests

and sthuff

cauise i cant seem to find anymore qwuests

[dull bridge]

got the door

noice

[slow raft]

i just got a praise of high morals for vandalism

i have a feeling these are meant to be ironic

[old galleon]

the door should tell you where the other two are

[slow raft]

yes thats what i said

[old galleon]

tbf i think it's more clear than just hints : ^)

but anyway, opening that door shouldn't be too hard

[slow raft]

well, it doesnt like specifically instruct you, it just points you where you need to go

and yeah its not hard, hence why they already got it

:)

[old galleon]

i'd personally run clara in the 1 or 4

with limited options i'd probably put march next to her, but since her taunt isn't guaranteed, you might consider putting march in the slot you didn't place clara in, since march has high natural targeting priority

but for easier fights, having march next to her didn't hurt too much

[old galleon]

mona lisa is best for qp farming personally, but bella lisa is better in the rider support slot

same situation with lunchtime and teatime for bond

[dull bridge]

i was just msising the one afro dude

i had the opther two

i liked the afro dude tho

or nice hair

whatever hsi name was

[glossy latch]

Yeah Clara is in spot 4 for me

Spot 3 is tough

[dull bridge]

oh wait

do slots matter?

[old galleon]

yes, positioning matters

[slow raft]

for splash effects

[glossy latch]

Enemy splash damage hits adjacently a lot

[dull bridge]

should i switch anything

or is this fine

[old galleon]

i'd probably swap natasha and yanqing but otherwise that looks fine

[dull bridge]

👍

[old galleon]

the caveat to that is, if you rely on splash to charge yanqing's ult, keep them there

[dull bridge]

ok

i could totally just brun all my 3k currency to get enough trailbalze power to get level 34

[glossy latch]

I do wonder who the fuck Yanqinq is

[dull bridge]

but i shoudlnt

[glossy latch]

Are they from the third planet?

[dull bridge]

hes from world 2

well w3 i guess

technally second world

but like third area

hes one of the first two people u see

i havent met him

but there was like a thing

im trying not to spoil

from what ive gotten from how he talks to others is hes a young incredible good sword fighter that wants tonfight everything and hes kinda reckless

[glossy latch]

Im guessing that world is incomplete

[dull bridge]

umm

im 99% sure its complete

just rn

it takes forever to get a level past like 30

so it ewioll take people tiome to finish the world

it could be incomplete tho

idt it is but it def could be

[long tree]

Currently level 31, should hit 34 by tomorrow or the next day so that's something at least

[idle grove]

give me your secrets on this levelling speedrun holy

[long tree]

Use all your energy, do all your side quests, some side quests have mini-game like stuff that helps with energy too

[summer hornet]

The Trash God does not follow the feeble rules of mankind

[old galleon]

so at some point before weekly reset i need to do my 3 runs on echo of war and run more simulated universe

gonna do all that before proceeding in story

i tried echo of war last night but got unlucky with natasha getting silenced so i died

at least it confirmed that dying doesn't burn your trailblaze power

[summer hornet]

Got good pulls for the Burn The Witch collab (in Bleach Brave Souls)

dang, what's the occasion?

[slow raft]

arceido

[digital marlin]

Hopefully we get an arcade 2 as cope as it sounds

Based on last year's summer and anniversary two years ago we can easily get alot of the missing arcade characters in other places

[copper steppe]

male jacques cope

[dull bridge]

i did thhe stupid thing

and just spend gems

to get to 34

[long tree]

Bruh

[dull bridge]

i just wanted to unlock new areas

[long tree]

Patience my guy

[dull bridge]

i have 100% every other areas

tbf

i only spend like 350

i was so close

[glossy latch]

Btw

We got a 10 pull in the mail today

[long tree]

Ye

[dull bridge]

yup

[long tree]

I got fuck all with it

[dull bridge]

i got welt

and holy shit

[long tree]

Did get a himeko light cone from some standard banner pulls though

[glossy latch]

I got Hook and a second Pela

[long tree]

That was nice

[dull bridge]

is he crazy

[long tree]

Welt do be doing numbers

[glossy latch]

Do characters have speicifc light cones?

[dull bridge]

its not even like his kit

just his thing

that slows

[glossy latch]

... fuck it, Im gonna pull to pity on this event

[dull bridge]

like i assume this is his light core

it has him in the p;picture

[glossy latch]

Seele seems to be pretty good

[dull bridge]

so

[glossy latch]

And I wanna get Sampo at least >.>

Oh hey

Got Seele

Didnt even pull to pity

[dull bridge]

niceee!!

[glossy latch]

I assume that means that pity just resets, right?

[old galleon]

@mystic python thanks for actually setting your seele up decently, been using her in echo of war instead of mine since you're farther in the game

[dull bridge]

yuyp

[glossy latch]

You can use your friends characters?

[dull bridge]

yup

[summer hornet]

In certain game modes

[dull bridge]

oh btw if u wanna frriend mne

601510123

is my code

[old galleon]

in modes like echo of war, yes

[glossy latch]

Interesting

Well

Good a point as any to leave it on

Getting Seele after ... I think 50 pulls actually

Good thing too, her element is annoying to get otherwise

[dull bridge]

eh

[glossy latch]

What other character is quantum?

[dull bridge]

plea

pela

but she isnt dps

so ur right

sorry

qingque

who

u get for free

i think

i THINK

[old galleon]

qingque is free, yes

but she requires clearing floor 3 of forbidden hall iirc

[dull bridge]

that should be too hard

i wouldnt rly knoiw causew i just cleared up to 9 once i finished the first world quest

so

[slow raft]

rolls 70-80

[dull bridge]

YESSS

YOU GOT BUDGET XQ

🤣

[slow raft]

do i still get pity at 90 or is that just gone now

[dull bridge]

its just gone

i assume

[slow raft]

whom?

[dull bridge]

oh

the sword dude

i call him budget xingqiu

in genshin there is a dude

[glossy latch]

Oh yeah right, Qingque is Quantum

Dunno what they do

[dull bridge]

who uses water swords

they are strikingly similar

nvm

[slow raft]

i see

[glossy latch]

Wait am I the only one who got Seele?

[slow raft]

so far

[old galleon]

novyx and i have her too

[dull bridge]

argor also got her

and novyx

[glossy latch]

Ah

[idle grove]

imagine having multiple 5*s

[glossy latch]

It really is a coinflip

[slow raft]

im gonna go for the 90 anyway for sience

[dull bridge]

i mean

if the pity workd like genshin

[glossy latch]

Does the game have uh

[dull bridge]

which i assume it does

than pity resets when u get a 5*

[glossy latch]

A way to get Eidolons that isnt just pulling more?

Google says it resets yeah

[dull bridge]

nope

[old galleon]

only for trailblazer

[dull bridge]

well yeha

[glossy latch]

... that sucks

[slow raft]

and for herta

[dull bridge]

HOLY SHIT

wow

[slow raft]

indeed

[old galleon]

herta gives you 3 dupes for doing simulated universe as well, yes

[slow raft]

one of the main things i hated about genshin

[old galleon]

idk if anyone here uses herta tho

[dull bridge]

i dont

[slow raft]

i do

[glossy latch]

Because I believe Honkai lets you do that

[slow raft]

shes great

[dull bridge]

i have her e3

but like

:shrugh

god

thats insane

they just revealed the endgame boss

in the second world

this lore

is 1000000x better than genshin

imo

[glossy latch]

From what Ive heard thats not hard to achieve

[dull bridge]

fair

but like

[summer hornet]

it's convoluted as hell at the start

[dull bridge]

its like

this questline im in

the trailblazer at level 34

has made so much stuff make so much sense

[summer hornet]

They slowly introduce you to the gameplay, but we got tossed in the deep end with some sort of omniscient observer, 7 different gods, almost 100 members of this genius society, etc

[dull bridge]

fair fair fair fair fair

[glossy latch]

I mean

The genius society doesnt particularly matter, and the gods are explored more slowly

[dull bridge]

yeah

[glossy latch]

Idk, this isnt particularly convoluted I felt

[long tree]

The next time you pull for a featured unit and get a 5 star, you'll get the featured unit

[glossy latch]

Also japan sure loves 7 gods

[long tree]

But your pity counter is reset to 0

[dull bridge]

oh yeah

[slow raft]

so if i do another 90 pulls i get seele guaranteed?

[dull bridge]

yes

[long tree]

This extends past the current banner

Yes

[slow raft]

i c

[dull bridge]

also

not to be nitty gritty

[long tree]

So if the banner changes and you didn't get a 5 star, you'll get who's on the new banner instead

[dull bridge]

but its normally not taking 90 pulls

74 is when "soft pity" starts

and your chances increase rapidly from there

so...

[slow raft]

yeah i got my 5 star at 74 pulls this time

[dull bridge]

this is assuming

that the pull system

is identical to genshin

[glossy latch]

Imagine not getting your 5 star after 50 pulls before soft pity kicks in

Smh

[dull bridge]

i got mine

at like 60ish

mabye 70

[slow raft]

im saving up my luck for other gachas

need that oberon frfr

[glossy latch]

The king of faeries?

[old galleon]

mothman himself, yes

[slow raft]

what argor said

[glossy latch]

Also at least it doesnt look like you need Eidolons

[dull bridge]

nononono

you 100% do not

they are just for people who like to spend

so they get some little buff

[summer hornet]

already saw a person in the Gundam discord who got full eidolons on Seele

[slow raft]

oh right, grail live ends in 7 hours

time for some speedrunning

[glossy latch]

Some people have money but not smarts

Smh

[summer hornet]

None of the current units are quite compelling enough for me to keep doing more rolls at this point, tbh

[glossy latch]

Smh not liking Clara

[summer hornet]

lmao I got Clara for my guaranteed 5*

[glossy latch]

Ah

Funny enough Clara has probably the least important Eidolons

[dull bridge]

i rly like welt

but honestly

one other really big diff from genshin i feel

the free units

are l;ike

REALLY good

like amber kaeya lisa are fine

but like

these free units are p[retty crazy if u ask me

[glossy latch]

Like besides the generic skill lvl up eidolon

The first Eidolon on Clara I think that matters is eidolon 6

[summer hornet]

Gepard and Sampo both look good and sound good, but the thing is that they're general pool 5*s they're general pool (5* and 4* respectively)

and I'm sure that sooner or later a limited 5* is going to come along who either matches or surpasses their allure for me, and right now it doesn't seem like 5*s exactly grow on trees

[dull bridge]

sampo is 5*

tf

i thought he was 4*

nvm

[summer hornet]

oh you're right, I'm blind

mb, fact still remains though

[dull bridge]

no yeah

totally

[glossy latch]

I do really want Sampo

But Im out of normal rolls

Sampo is so far my favourite character ngl

Hes like the frenchman from Grand Pretender

[summer hornet]

Sampo singlehandedly made me grateful I stuck with the dub

[glossy latch]

Only pathetic

... well more pathetic

[summer hornet]

He's an unashamed bootlicking trash dad and I hate how quickly I was won over

[glossy latch]

||Also the fact that he seems to be more than just a weird merchant from that planet is interesting||

[summer hornet]

but then right on his heels came Gepard, who's basically an arthurian knight

[glossy latch]

||In fact its implied Sampo may either be a follower of the Aeon of Elation or possibly the Aeon of Elation himself||

[summer hornet]

is it okay to click those spoilers if I'm still partway through the first planet's story

[glossy latch]

Only issue I have with the story is that, knowing the devs, its gonna exponentionally increase into bullshit

No

Theyre spoilers for the approximate end of the first planets story

For one scene specifically

But theyre not big spoilers tbh

Id not click them tho

[long tree]

ME WHEN THE inner human mind and concepts IS an actual realm that spawns its own creations and has consequences for the physical realm, with people being taken over by their own desire and power

[long tree]

It's what all mihoyo games end up with

[glossy latch]

I had no idea

[summer hornet]

jfc

[long tree]

If not that it's a story of either perseverance being king or helping a nation with their issues

Literally there's an entire genshin event where you help a chunni fight her tulpa

[glossy latch]

Que

[long tree]

https://tenor.com/view/fischl-genshin-impact-genshin-fischl-genhin-impact-gif-gif-22210402

[dull bridge]

oh

yeah

that event

🤣

[long tree]

You help this girl fight her chunnibyou persona

[glossy latch]

... thats not her Chuuni persona?

[long tree]

Oh no her chunni persona is like

Worse

[glossy latch]

... que

[long tree]

It's like

even more chunni

[slow raft]

oh hey its the girl that cant speak german

[glossy latch]

Thats like

Every Star Rail character who interacts with Seele

[dull bridge]

how do you actually pronnounce seele

its not zeele

?

[glossy latch]

Lemme try to think of a way to signal the phonetics in english

[dull bridge]

would google translate do it justice?

[glossy latch]

Fuck it, this is easier

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Seele

It has audio

[dull bridge]

LMAO

i understand njow

wow thats bad

WAIT

lmao

it isnt finished

thats halarious

[glossy latch]

Called it

[summer hornet]

did you reach the end of the current story?

[dull bridge]

yeah

this is satysfing as fuck tho

[summer hornet]

I mean this with the utmost respect, but you are absolutely insane

the level of grind

[dull bridge]

honestly

it wasnt that bad

i unlocked 3 new areas

which is fun

more grind

everything else is 100% so i need to 100% these now

[idle grove]

I mean I would imagine a new gacha game to not be immediately finished

[dull bridge]

well no yeah

i just assumed first 2 worlds would be

but eh

nvm

only 2 more areas

not 3

thanks god

[glossy latch]

There are too many things to grind already tbh

[dull bridge]

not rly

well

ig

like

i could try to 50 all my dudes

but i would rather save resources

so itsd easier to bring the ones i want higher when i unlock cap

LES GOOOO

[dull bridge]

https://youtu.be/Z8PpgJznjWw

i forgot how hard phase 3 of the world 4 boss was

[old galleon]

why are you fighting a boss on auto

[dull bridge]

because i had other things to do

its not like manual would have changed

im just not high enough level to get throuh phase 3

or mabye i need to approach with a diff team comp

idk

here after i finished exploring these new areas ill try again on manual

correct me if im wrong but theres no wayu tyo grind the relic stuffs

the relic like upgrade exp

[slow raft]

Damn, i dont thunk i have the time to do my usual shenanigans on the grail live cq

A shame

I bet i couldve surpassed the timer on for the gilles cq

[old galleon]

if no such mode is listed in game, then it probably doesn't exist

but i probably wouldn't worry too much about relics right now anyway

[slow raft]

You can grind relics, which you could use to uograde relics

[dull bridge]

fair

[old galleon]

yes but they're talking about the separate exp things

[dull bridge]

yeah

[old galleon]

also, again, grinding relics isn't a real factor right now, i'd argue

[dull bridge]

im waiting till 50 to truly grind relics

tbf

yeah

[slow raft]

Yeah those you need to buy

[old galleon]

can't get 5* relics this early

[dull bridge]

where?

just the stores

[slow raft]

Yeah

Once they are out i think you can get them in the shop in the menu but im not sure

[dull bridge]

dosent look lik eit

sad

wtb

[slow raft]

Sadge

Wait a minute, are reset timers different for each server?

Neat

[glossy latch]

Seems so

Mine are shorter

[dull bridge]

luck

:(

[old galleon]

for me it's 5 am local, idk what local reset times elsewhere are

[dull bridge]

mins is

mine is

same

5 am locals

[old galleon]

oh right i had a pretty neat world 2 clear a little earlier

[dull bridge]

nice

👏

[old galleon]

which covered most of what i needed left to do for simulated universe this week

i'll be trying world 3 a little later

[dull bridge]

world 3 is prob doable

you could also probaly clear 4 untill boss

idk tho

[old galleon]

team i brought to world 2 was seele/sushang/natasha/fire mc

[dull bridge]

i need to try sushand

and the girl from abyss 3 clear

[old galleon]

i'm uncertain if i prefer her over clara but she's not bad

[dull bridge]

clearing maps is so satysfiung

[glossy latch]

I think I cleared world 2 with MC, March, Serval and Clara

Clara with Elation blessings is absurd

I think thatll be my strat with world 3 too

[dull bridge]

my strat has just been

go preservation

and just sit on fire mc

lmao

[glossy latch]

Like to give you an idea

Elation Clara restores 15% hp on a counter attack

And the counterattack chunked the boss for like 25%

[dull bridge]

damn

the ofical map

dosent have the area im exploring

so i have to manualy look for chests

;-;

[glossy latch]

Seele looks like she does some nice single target damage

[dull bridge]

some

she is crazy single target

im not a big tierlist person

but like

look

[glossy latch]

Do you ever pull for Light cones as a f2p?

[glossy latch]

I dont think you do right

Ye I saw

I got some good 5*s

[dull bridge]

she is insane

[glossy latch]

Idk about pulling light cones ngl

Hers looks insane

But its not a character

Also wtf does Gepard fight with

Is it like, a guitarcase?

Also what is this about Genshin having a card game

[dull bridge]

sol

its like

invokation tcg

its a card game inside the game or smt

i havent touched genshin in a while tbf

just got bored

and hsr is so much more appealing to me

I JUST REALZIED CLARA ISNT WEARING SHOES

TF

THATS SNOW

[long tree]

You do not

[long tree]

Massive shield

[long tree]

Yeah it's surprisingly good too

They also made an Egyptian inspired character who loves the game

[dull bridge]

candace?

[long tree]

Cyno

[dull bridge]

ah

ok

thats even better

🤣

[long tree]

Also, as mentioned earlier, it's worth noting you should never pull for light cones as a f2p, they're purely for people minmaxing, and the free light cones you can get are close enough

[dull bridge]

^^

the ncie thing tho

[long tree]

A good way to get light cones is hertas simulated universe, as the tickets there can eventually be used to get 5 star light cones

[dull bridge]

about this

[dull bridge]

i think imma get one tmr

i think

[long tree]

Nice!

[dull bridge]

its 8 for one

iirc

so when the rewards reset

i should be able to world 3 two times and grab everything

[glossy latch]

Its a shield?

Looks weird for a shield to me ngl

[dull bridge]

no

but what i was gonna say

is

you dont need to pull for "r5"

with herta

you are just able to tuirn one into "r5" pretty easioly

yeah

idk if i get the hunt or the preservation tho

[glossy latch]

Also huh

Apparently, Star Rail is a (sort of) sequel to Impact third

Its the same Welt

[dull bridge]

how tf

am i supposed to kill

svarog

[glossy latch]

Also weird that theres only those 3 Light Cones

[dull bridge]

a;lright

build hook and dang heng

to try to kill svarog

ill clear with what i used before

than just swap to those guys

[dull bridge]

WE DID ITTTT

LETS GOOOO

world 4 cleared

now

which light core do i buy

hunt feels the best

but ugh

[glossy latch]

Random sidenote: The more I think about it the more I realise that the gameplay is probably Star Rails weakest part

Its turn-based without options

[dull bridge]

wdytm

[glossy latch]

... err what?

[dull bridge]

by options

what exactly do u mean

[glossy latch]

In turn-based you usually have attacks, items (though those are not that useful most of the time) and like 5+ skills and/or spells you can use at any time

[dull bridge]

oh ig

i think ults

help a lot tho

[long tree]

The skill in these kinda games is in the preparation not the combat itself

[dull bridge]

wow

the hunt light core is kinda insane

[old galleon]

best one is the rate up on light cone banner, but probably wouldn't recommend pulling it if you're not spending

[dull bridge]

i mean

i bought the welkin

[old galleon]

so the herta shop one makes a good alternative

[dull bridge]

but

[glossy latch]

Eh, not in regular turn-based

[dull bridge]

i have nothing against spending on the game its just nothing i would rly wanna spend on rn

[glossy latch]

But still, I have enough fun that I played through the first worlds entire story, and Ill probably keep going

Gachas dont usually get that far for me

[dull bridge]

second world story is much better imo

[slow raft]

i think jot is specifically talking about genshin and star rail

[old galleon]

i will say fwiw that i could see myself playing star rail in the medium to long term

gonna depend on how it goes past this first month or so

[dull bridge]

what does fwiw mean/

?

[old galleon]

for what it's worth

[dull bridge]

👍

for me

i am def gonna keep playing

as long as the next story dosent take froeverf to come out

cause

we are left on kinda a clifhanger

and i dont lik ethat

:(

[glossy latch]

Idk how often Genshin got story updates so

🤷

I kinda prefer the aesthetic/vibe of the first world tho

[long tree]

Next world is based on japan

I'm calling it

[slow raft]

its gonna be mondstadt 2.0, with the amount of German they did already

[glossy latch]

I mean

The second world is china-esque isnt it? I dont think theyll be that close with aesthetics back to back

Also the first world was the german-heavy one Im pretty sure

[dull bridge]

yeah

[glossy latch]

Well

Mix of german and slavic

Belobog is a slavic god after all

But between Seele, Gepard and, yknow, Göthe

I think its the "german" region

[old galleon]

genshin did liyue and inazuma back to back, so i wouldn't put it past them

[slow raft]

oh right, they did have that

[dull bridge]

yeah

the second world is def china esque

[glossy latch]

Serval is ... technically not german

[dull bridge]

tbf

[glossy latch]

But I think she is supposed to be german too

[dull bridge]

it looks a lot like liyue

[glossy latch]

Just the same word

[slow raft]

completely forgot the fucking göthe hotel

even after i gave them a review

[old galleon]

hsr subreddit gets like a hundred say my name reposts every day from that one

[glossy latch]

And Landau is a german town

Also I wonder how many english players are aware of the pattern of names the Landau siblings have

[slow raft]

my fucking god

i never read gepard in german

[glossy latch]

[slow raft]

cause the name was never said in german

[glossy latch]

I mean duh

[slow raft]

same with landau

[glossy latch]

When was a german name ever said in german

[slow raft]

ig welt was not to far of?

[glossy latch]

True

But yeah, the pattern is

Theyre named after the german names for big cats

[dull bridge]

also

idk if its me

or

it SEEMS like

[old galleon]

i caught on to serval being a cat reference, but not gepard

[dull bridge]

nvm

[glossy latch]

Gepard is Cheetah, Serval is ... Serval

[old galleon]

and i don't remember the third sibling's name so i can't check that

[glossy latch]

And the last one is also the same

||Lynx is Lynx||

[old galleon]

oh yeah that one's the most obvious to a non-german speaker

[glossy latch]

Oh wait actually

[long tree]

Inazuma was right after liyue

[glossy latch]

||I think Lynx in german is different, which is odd||

[old galleon]

i already mentioned this

[glossy latch]

These words mean nothing to me

[long tree]

Ah apologies

[long tree]

Liyue is china, inazuma is Japan, they're genshin regions

And so far star rail is copying the genshin region order (though 2 doesn't a pattern make)

[old galleon]

do you consider jarilo vi to be a mondstadt clone?

[slow raft]

not bavarian enough

[glossy latch]

As mentioned, it is quite german-ish

Though it does have slavic elements

[dull bridge]

no

if anything

[long tree]

I do considering the Ice isn't a naturally occurring thing on the planet

[dull bridge]

oh

thats fair

i would be sad if they followded

but wouldnt really mind

it is time

to start saving for kafka

[old galleon]

i don't really know which one i'll roll on

[long tree]

I want Jing because he's hot

[old galleon]

kafka's neat but i'm not too familiar with her kit since the prologue only does so much

[long tree]

But I also want kafka

Cause she's hot

I'll just get both in two singles

[old galleon]

and i'm even less familiar with jing

[dull bridge]

^

[glossy latch]

Kafka is apparently DoT support

[long tree]

Big aoe damage

Best at it iirc

Also voiced by kaggyfilms

[old galleon]

atm my best aoe damage is seele

[long tree]

Seele is single target

[old galleon]

just another 'st who's actually aoe' situation

[long tree]

Yeah she does single target so well she might as well be aoe

[old galleon]

turns out giving a unit a passive that's basically called 'galeforce on crack' does stupid things

[dull bridge]

yk what i realized seele feels like

tear

🤣

[old galleon]

my best traditional aoe at the moment, probably serval or clara

[slow raft]

i am currently doing suprisingly consistent facecard related farming, just a few more points and i am done with grail live

gonna stop once i get all the mxalter copies

[old galleon]

based

make sure to get the idol costumes too

[slow raft]

already done

i think?

open fgo wiki to check for the costumes
get star rail ads

[dull bridge]

lmao

[slow raft]

yeah i think i got all of them

dont have half the servants, but still

finally a costume that makes ushi playble

[old galleon]

yeah just grabbing the key from the event shop is enough

even if you can't get the actual costumes

[dull bridge]

how the fuck

wow thats a lot of stats

[slow raft]

yknow, farming with kiara into servants with magic res is kinda cringe

[glossy latch]

Oh

I think I just realised who ||Sampo||is in Star Rail

||The fifth member of the Stellaron hunters, called out in their lore blurb is called Sam||

[dull bridge]

okokookok

||so ur saying its kafka elios hacker girl sampo blade||?

||my only thing i would say against is i dont think they would make a stellaron hjunter 4*||

[glossy latch]

||Thats my guess||

||He could get a "real" version as a 5*||

||Honkai Impact Third had a bunch of versions of the same character||

[dull bridge]

mbmbb

|| that could be fair||

||you will love world 2 has amazing lore abt stellaron hunters and endgame of the game and such||

[glossy latch]

||This early?||

[dull bridge]

||yeah i found it weird||

i wanna build a wall

🤣

ok

who is this

who is this

and who is this

are these people known?

[glossy latch]

Whats the context?

Anyway my guess is the first is Himeko

The second could be Sampo Koski

Third I got nothing

[dull bridge]

this is welts ultimate thing

[glossy latch]

Oh wait in that case

Ok no its Impact Third characters

The second is Welt Joyce

[dull bridge]

thats what i was wondering

[summer hornet]

Me @ miss crane

[dull bridge]

welts ultimate thing looks so cool

🥺

[glossy latch]

... hah I knew it

The producer admitted that the trails/kiseki series was the inspiration for HSRs combat

Explains why the ultimates work the way they do

[dull bridge]

||https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail/comments/124bwr0/my_crackpot_theory_about_who_is_the_trailblazer/||

owen look at that

[glossy latch]

Oh, I didnt make that second guess

Does sorta work though

[dull bridge]

that second one would be really interesting and cool

i dont think so

but it would be cool

lmao

[glossy latch]

Its kinda compelling

[dull bridge]

||i personally think elios is the aeon of trailblaze||

but thats just my cope

[old galleon]

i usually dislike medb in basically every appearance she's made up to this point

but she was good here

turns out when you let the stereotypical bitch character have some actual time outside of that role, they can show their good points

[dull bridge]

[mystic python]

o np, and ye helps to have some of the relics levelled and being level 50

[slow raft]

Alright so im still missing a buncah point rewards and stuff from the shop but oh well.
The only thing im really missing out on is a few meteor fous and some crytalized lore

Got max ascension mxalter, all cooied and the costumes

Now i sleep

[astral drift]

had to spend apples but did get the last lore

[summer hornet]

[honest pawn]

a

I forgot about the event

[summer hornet]

Welcome to the club

I got all the costumes, and MHXA-I is at max ascension, but she’s not gonna be NP5

And I’m gonna miss out on one of the command codes too

[honest pawn]

I literally didn't do any of it

[copper steppe]

damn

i managed to finish the event with 3 days to end

could get e chan only to np 2

[summer hornet]

RIP, Roast

[copper steppe]

and still no signs of rerun in jp

[old galleon]

don't bank on a jp rerun

it could happen, but they've signaled that reruns are gonna be less frequent

[summer hornet]

Not to mention they locked up the game the collab was based on and tossed it to the bottom of the sea

[copper steppe]

lol

[old galleon]

global never got it, apparently

so we're missing all sorts of context for the event unless we refer to jp translations

[summer hornet]

According to Finotaisen the game was set up to only have a limited amount of downloads, which it reached within like a week, and then instead of expanding that release they shut it down instead

Which makes no sense

[copper steppe]

what were they cooking

[old galleon]

this is correct

it was limited to 500k downloads

then they went after qooapp for having it available to download there

the more you read into the shenanigans around waltz, the more baffling it gets

[zealous kite]

Is there pityy in star Rail?

[old galleon]

yes

[zealous kite]

Event banner or just standard?

[old galleon]

should be both

[zealous kite]

Gotta. It's what, 90?

[honest pawn]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-the-rock-bocchi-hitori-gif-27014251

[old galleon]

for character banners, yes

for light cone banners, it's 80

[zealous kite]

Gotcha. So 90 would guarantee me seele?

[old galleon]

no

[zealous kite]

Is that possible in 16 days?

Oh

[old galleon]

90 on her banner would guarantee you a 5* character if you hadn't rolled one to that point

if it's not seele, then the next 5* character you roll on her banner would be seele

[zealous kite]

Oh so 180

Yeah, no guarantee I can do that in 16 days

[old galleon]

note that you can get lucky and get a 5* before the hard pity

and the same rules would apply: 50% seele, 50% off banner, but your next 5* would be seele

it's up to you to decide if you want to chance it or save

[summer hornet]

How do you input the bonus codes for Star Rail?

[zealous kite]

Granblue skipped the end of summer banner this year

That's not good

[old galleon]

go into your phone, click the 3 button thing up at the top, select 'redemption code'

[summer hornet]

All I can see from there rn is "trailblazer profile"

[rigid pilot]

I see the chat has gone in on Star Rail

is it good?

[old galleon]

i like it

but it'd depend on what you want in a game

star rail is a lot like genshin, if genshin were a turn based rpg

[rigid pilot]

Final Fantasy style?

[old galleon]

there's turn order based on speed, you have an action bar showing the next several units to act

it's not like your team acts, then the enemies act

ultimates can interrupt as well

[rigid pilot]

Ah so a bit loose on the turn-based then?

[summer hornet]

It's a lot of fun

The production value is really high imo

[rigid pilot]

Well it sure beats another tower defense gacha

[old galleon]

arknights is at least a good tower defense gacha

can't really testify to the others

[rigid pilot]

This is to be expected given what I have seen and been shown of Genshin

Hoyoverse definitely polishes their games

Honkai 3rd too

Also would I need to play previous Honkai games or Genshin to understand Star Rail?

[old galleon]

i've only played a bit of genshin and no other honkai games and i can understand star rail just fine

there are probably references that are going over my head, but it doesn't affect my understanding of the plot

[rigid pilot]

Now the big question for any gacha

How time-consuming is it?

[old galleon]

even for the story not being complete through the worlds that are available yet, the story alone is pretty dense, and there's a bunch of side stuff to do with quests and the obligatory grind

i'm still not fully caught up to the story yet and i've been playing since it launched

but i figure once you're caught up on story it's probably more of an exercise in doing the grind

[rigid pilot]

Didn't it launch a few days ago?

[old galleon]

yep

it's been like 5 or 6 days now

[rigid pilot]

Also that's both good to hear but also a bit of a turn-off for me.

I'm so busy I can barely keep up with FGO daily grind

Might give Star Rail a shot at least

[summer hornet]

Yeah, it's more like an actual JRPG as far as content depth, or at least it feels that way to me rn

[rigid pilot]

Probably won't get too deep into Star Rail though

I have Armored Core 6 coming soon and I need the mental energy to binge that game ten times over

[old galleon]

best aoe unit

[dull bridge]

well

weekly reset

time to grind all the weekly stuff

[glossy latch]

Its closer to trails of style, with the turn order not being set and there being ways to alter it, like delaying enemies or advancing allies. And ultimates can be used at any point, so you can sometimes react to things by quickly throwing out an ultimate

As for needing to know Honkai, probably not?

Its apparently a sequel, but its a sequel to a game that made a storyline that is post the canonical end of its own storyline before that storyline even finished

[long tree]

It's an alt universe not a sequel iirc

Cause there's a lot of shit that would go down if it were a sequel and most people would be dead

[glossy latch]

It might be both?

The weird part is that Welt is HI3 Welt

Like you can check his dedicated Light Cone

[long tree]

If he is he's got a lot of explaining to do

[glossy latch]

Yeah he is, his lightcone refers to him taking the name and the Herrscher core from Welt Joyce

[dull bridge]

also turns out his ulti splash art has people from the other honkai game

[long tree]

Welts definitely got a lot of explaining to do

especially to himeko

[glossy latch]

Damn

Didnt quite beat world 3s boss

Didnt get the really good Elation blessing >.>

[glossy latch]

Ok foudn a random boss in world 3 who is complete bs

Has an AoE that basically one-hits your team

But there is no setup for it

He just uses it instantly

[glossy latch]

Aaaand I RNGd into the same boss >.>

[long tree]

Me when you don't pick beginning of fight freeze/shield

[glossy latch]

For some reason

I keep getting that fucking boss

Like that boss is harder than the actual final boss

But I cant get the (way easier) other one >.>

Yeah

RNGd into that boss again

Like that boss is 5 times harder than the final boss of world 3

[dull bridge]

which one?

[glossy latch]

Bug Direwolf

The one that does Felling Order etc.

[dull bridge]

i just had to clear world 3, 3 times to finish weekly

i have a question actually

what are peopled weekly thing

for simulated universe

3500

or 5000

im trying to figure out if it scales

cause mine was 5000 this week

[glossy latch]

3500

[dull bridge]

last week was 3500

ok so it does scale

[glossy latch]

Lets see if RNGd the beatable boss

[dull bridge]

not me playing star rail on my computer in school

lmao

i even brought my mouse

[glossy latch]

Finally

Beat world 3

If you dont RNG the unbeatable boss its not hard lmao

Clara solo-carried

[dull bridge]

yeah

same thing

except fire traveler solo carried

you have cleared world 1 correct?

i would honestly try world 4

if u have fire trácele r

with like clara mc march and mabye nat

[glossy latch]

After the next reset maybe

[dull bridge]

how the fuck am i supposed to get there

[long tree]

Teleporters

[slow raft]

So close to level 40

But no more non story quests left

[glossy latch]

Bloody hell

Im at level 29

[slow raft]

No wiat thats also me, i just got confused

Cause the traveler level doesnt march the chsracter level

[dull bridge]

you can't

the teleport is offline until you interact with it

and you can't rotate any towards any of the two that are in the undiscovered area

it seems legit impossible to explore

[long tree]

I've been to that area

[dull bridge]

howwww

[dull bridge]

how do you get to that one tho

[long tree]

Some of the "locked doors" on the map literally just have a thing to press in front of them

[glossy latch]

Well

I guess now I just gotta do the rest of the story and then Im just gonna wait for the next update

Btw does world 2 have more enemy variety?

[dull bridge]

yes

annoyingly

bunch of cool shit

friend me

plz

601510123

ok

i'm stupid

i figured out how to get around

idk how i didn't see before

i missed this whole area i now need to clear ;-;

[slow raft]

Wait a minute, if youre not level 30 yet, arent you still capped at level 40 for your chars?

[long tree]

Just beat all the main story

[long tree]

Yep

[slow raft]

Then why is he doing simulated world 3

[long tree]

You're allowed to attempt it early, it's a bad idea to but you can

Svarog at the end doesn't pull punches though

[glossy latch]

Thats world 4

World 3 is Gepard

[long tree]

Ahhh

[glossy latch]

Anyway, because I needed 2 more tickets for a 10 pull

And World 3s first clear gives you 2

(I did not get Sampo)

[long tree]

So long as you don't use hertias shop for tickets

[slow raft]

World 3 still has like level 45-to 50 enemies, i wouldnt torture myself like that

[glossy latch]

Oh the regular enemies are trivial

[slow raft]

Yeah

[glossy latch]

Theres two hard fights in the whole thing

[slow raft]

One of the elites just straight up pneshot my team
