[runic ether]

qiqi and chonyun wont be by 4.4 but are being worked on

[late canopy]

Chongyun

[runic ether]

yee

[late canopy]

I will fork out real money for that

[runic ether]

im excited for xq to get drip

[late canopy]

Even though I don't have to

Most likely

[runic ether]

i may get ganyu's skin

so long as it's not like ayaka's

[late canopy]

Same depending on how it looks

Ganyu is still the goat

(Pun not intended)

[runic ether]

ganyu, kaeya, xingqiu, jean for drip freeze

[late canopy]

Ayato, Ganyu, kazzy, Diona one of my favs

Great for destroying moderate amounts of smaller things

[runic ether]

honestly i very well might have more than enough primos to get furina c0

without spending

and since i cant get an on-field furina at c2 i wont spend

[late canopy]

Along with continued income I have enough for the next three characters easily

Primos almost back at 30k again after Neuvi

Among other things that can become wishes

I'll prolly just get her c0

[runic ether]

c0r1 right?

[late canopy]

My Neuvi?

[runic ether]

yes

[late canopy]

c1 r1

[runic ether]

[late canopy]

Lucked out giga hard

Got it in 110 pulls

[runic ether]

i think furina tips things in neuv's favor as the best hydro dps pre-c6

ayato has better off-field app and remains versatile

[late canopy]

Oh yeah Ayato is definitely super versatile and I love what he can do

[runic ether]

but with furina, neuv now gaps childe and on-field non-burgeon ayato

[late canopy]

Neuvi is a one man hit squad

[runic ether]

furina should be a nearly free, 100% uptime 66-70% dmg up

[late canopy]

And with Furina he'll have hydro sub dps that he can use

[runic ether]

for neuv, he can run yaoyao or kuki

[late canopy]

Since XInqiu and Yelan don't work

[runic ether]

yep

[late canopy]

Ya

I wanna give him like

[runic ether]

oh furina also makes c6 yelan even more broken

[late canopy]

Neuvi, Furina, Kazzy/Fischl, Kuki

[runic ether]

u dont really need kaz much anymore

[late canopy]

Probably not

[runic ether]

furina has huge damage up by herself

neuv/furina/kuki/fischl could work as a team

[late canopy]

Flex spot in case for whatever reason neuvi's beam cannot aoe enough on its own

And needs kazzy to help grouping

[runic ether]

as could yaoyao or nahida

yep

charlotte will likely need buffs but otherwise she would be a decent teammate though freeze isnt neuv's best team

[late canopy]

Oh and also

Double electro means

Moar energy mmm

[runic ether]

oh very true

hm

raiden wouldnt be too bad for neuv

hmmmmmm

[late canopy]

I actually mainly wanna try replacing Diona with Charlotte on my Ayato, Ganyu, Kazzy, Diona team I was talking about before

See how it feels

[runic ether]

charlotte is unfortunately

mid

hope she gets buffs this week or next

but yeah i was thinking

neuv/furina/nahida/raiden

neuv is really good with raiden

and nahida

pamber nahida may be enough with neuv to not get max dmg stacks off fanfare

but enough to carry

raiden energy as well

she can share field time with neuv

though em raiden may be enough anyhow

[late canopy]

Raiden share field time could be nice

Esp if you play sloppily with Neuv and end up having downtime with his charging by accident

[runic ether]

raiden e -> neuv e -> furina eq -> nahida eq -> neuv ca q ca -> raiden e -> nahida eq -> raiden q string? -> neuv e ca -> furina eq

[late canopy]

Wouldn't you want to Neuv Q right after the first E to not waste the particles?

[runic ether]

not in first rot i think

raiden and pamber carry more than enough energy

[late canopy]

Yeah I suppose if they have you covered then you can move it around some more

[runic ether]

once i secure arlecchino i will get neuv i think

depending on how good she is, i may c6 her 🙈

[late canopy]

c1 is as high as I go for any character's first release

[runic ether]

c6 r5 arlecchino time

jk

it all depends

[late canopy]

Any higher too rich for me

[runic ether]

also god i hope its not the case

but if 4.4 is a liyue patch

and arlecchino will be before 4.6

i hope shes not 4.3

i will def not have the money saved to get her c6 by then

[late canopy]

Yeah that would be

A lot of primos

[runic ether]

i would likely aim for c0r1

i want a 5 star polearm pretty bad

[late canopy]

Can't go wrong with Homa

I actively pulled for a second Homa

During Hu Tao's first rerun

Cuz it was that good

[runic ether]

i cant go for homa if i wanna go for furina atm

[late canopy]

True

[runic ether]

if i had money to spend

not whale level but u know

some spending money rn

i would have gone for neuv + homa rn

[late canopy]

Ya also would be a good time to spend considering the double purchase packs just reset

[runic ether]

yep

unfort

i missed the window

but idm

[late canopy]

[runic ether]

i never needed it

i will give praise to genshin

in that aspect

i have never felt the need to spend for clearing content

[late canopy]

Oh yes

[runic ether]

all that i want to spend on is for vanity

[late canopy]

I will actively say

In most of the gachas I've played

Genshin is only deceptively stingy

It's actually one of the comfiest gachas you can play in terms of spending

There is very little pressure to pull anything

And the pressure gets even less the older your account gets

Cuz you're just super stacked

[runic ether]

arguably i shouldnt pull for neuv when he reruns

[late canopy]

And can legit literally pull for whatever you think looks kinda cool

Without harming ability to clear content

[runic ether]

i would have furina mona and yelan and the value of 5 star hydros decreases per 5 star hydro

and xingqiu c6 is arguably a 5 star hydro

[late canopy]

Also worth keeping in mind

Neuv is a main dps

So he's in theory the most replaceable

[runic ether]

yea

their value isnt all that high

i already do have some dps 5 stars

so i would just want him cus

[late canopy]

Main dps is slap whoever you like in this slot

[runic ether]

hes great

[late canopy]

Can do the funny solo Neuv abyss

[runic ether]

as in his character is great

[late canopy]

I am endlessly entertained by his ability to do that

And quite easily too

[runic ether]

the dumb spending would be me pulling for albedo though

hes rumored to be either 2nd half 4.2

or 4.3 with navia

[late canopy]

Albedo would be due for a run soon

It's been a while

[runic ether]

yea and navia may be the savior of geo? who knows

but albedo also may enable noelle which will be one of the better furina enables/enablee

yun jin may be more than enough

but say furina yelan noelle albedo

[late canopy]

Specfically Noelle or interchangeable with Itto?

[runic ether]

nope

just noelle

noelle + furina especially now enable furina's fanfare and dmg % stacks by herself

[late canopy]

Ah right I forgot

Noelle heals

[runic ether]

def/geo/crit noelle even pre-c6 will get fat damage from furina

and she heals the team

noelle does need c1 or c2 idr to get 100% heals

and she has 100% uptime on marechausse

min 36% crit rate + normal and ca buff

[summer hornet]

Rofl what in the world is the context for this

[runic ether]

have u done that daily quest?

[summer hornet]

You guys do the daily quests?

[runic ether]

yes

[ebon quartz]

I do only when I have to for the interstellar guide thing and can't find anything faster.

[summer hornet]

I've only done 3 iirc, two on the space station and one with the old man in the Belobog military fort

[runic ether]

p sure there are achievements in daily quests

[summer hornet]

I'm not a completionist lol

At least not in Star Rail

[old galleon]

dailies count for 40% of your interastral guide count every day, so of course

[summer hornet]

I get the interastral guide done with just the non-daily mission requirements

Be it fighting 3 enemies with type advantage attacks, simulated universe, or whatever else

[old galleon]

i mean you can do that, but dailies tend to be faster

the missions aren't long at all, it's just go to this place, do some easy task, and report back to the npc

[summer hornet]

Do you usually read the daily missions? When I was doing them before, the dialogue just wore me down

[old galleon]

dialogue tends to be very similar, but you don't really need to read them at all

like they're dailies, they have no big impact on the overall story

[long tree]

I think on genshin I'm gonna go for neuv rather than the water archon this time

I'm not huge on her mechanics and "water support/sub DPS" is a role I have firmly filled

[runic ether]

shes not really a support

her personal damage is huge

furina's deal is that she enables entirely new characters and playstyles

neuvillette is just a new (very power) dps yes

but his best partner will be furina

but for instance

furina enables prototype amber 4pc maiden's beloved mona to be a damage contributor to a team

noelle firmly gaps itto as a dps with furina

hp manipulation will be a new archetype for genshin

marechausse set, maiden's beloved

these 2 sets gain value with furina

marechausse also particularly favors normal and charged attackers

and those characters will benefit and care about furina since she can now directly enable them

same with any party healers

and for fontaine dps characters, single target healers can enable them

lyne, bennett, xiangling/dehya, furina is a team

neuvillette, furina, fischl/raiden, kuki/yaoyao/nahida is a team

hu tao, mona, yelan/xq, furina

noelle, albedo/yun jin, yelan, furina

nilou bloom will be different with furina as well

furina cannot enable freeze by herself

furina cannot enable national by herself

she cannot hyperbloom by herself

shes a unique and new playstyle to genshin

and arguably its kinda broken though it is a lot more technical than matching teammates and such and requires grinding for new artifacts for some characters

every normal and charge attacker getting a 15% boost and a 36% crit rate for free on top of a minimum 50% damage boost and consistent healing on a 100% uptime is very very good

[long tree]

Neuv speen tho

[ebon quartz]

I think my character pool now for limited characters is good in star rail I just want Bronya and I'll save up my gold tickets for Silver Wolf rerun and/or Black Swan.

[long tree]

What I might do for now is get neuv now cause I can just slot him in wherever and then get furina on rerun

[old galleon]

being a seele main and not having either bronya or tingyun lol

let alone sw

somehow i'm still making it work

still definitely working on her relics but i have crusing s5 now so she has a decent lc

wonder if i should run yukong with her

rn i'm running a core of seele/lynx/fmc and using either welt or pela depending on context

[long tree]

My broke ass still debating on if I get furina now or nevu now (I may actually do the nevu fidget spinner)

[runic ether]

do you have hu tao, a built noelle, xiao, or any normal/charge attack dps?

if so, get furina

also hsr banner info

1.5 will be huohuo 1st half

2nd half will be argenti and silver wolf

split light cone banners as far as we can tell

argenti, silver wolf, and hanya in 2nd half of 1.5

1.5 also has a new light cone

sorry to clarify

new free event cone

[ebon quartz]

Neat I won't have enough tickets for the Stelleron Hunter gremlin by then I think.

[runic ether]

"Hey, Over Here"

[ebon quartz]

I only have 13 right now because I needed a healer really REALLY badly.

[runic ether]

u got fu xuan no?

[ebon quartz]

Ye

And Lynx

[runic ether]

nat and fu is enough

oh and lynx

[ebon quartz]

So I'm good for now.

[runic ether]

ur good

[ebon quartz]

Ye

[ebon quartz]

I mean I already said I'm good lmao

[old galleon]

any info on what it does?

[ebon quartz]

I just want Silver Wolf and Black Swan from the limited pools.

[long tree]

I have hu tao but I find her super unfun to play

[runic ether]

not yet

[old galleon]

aight

[runic ether]

skill issue neuv is similar in nature to tao all things considered you just get a bit more distance and different teams

hanabi model

she may be 1.6

[ebon quartz]

I just don't think I'll have enough tickets for Silver Wolf.

After her though I'm good until Black Swan.

Miiiiight roll for Sam to keep the Stelleron Hunters together but his kit seems similar to Bladies.

[runic ether]

2 new 1.5 artifact sets

[long tree]

It's mainly the jumping

[runic ether]

and spheres

[long tree]

I play on mobile so it can be hard to do it sometimes

[runic ether]

iirc mobile tao is easier than pc

[long tree]

Huh, I just don't like the CA>jump

[runic ether]

n2cj is easier on mobile than pc for a lot of ppl

are u doing n2c or n1c

[long tree]

N2C?

[runic ether]

2 normals charge

[long tree]

Oh I usually just do 1

[runic ether]

are u playing her with xq?

he does better rainswords with 2 normals

also get a shielder for her

neuvillette is just as interruption prone as tao is

without c1

with c1 its just like tao

[long tree]

XQ, zhongli and hutao is usually what I do

I'll try her out with N2c

[runic ether]

who is the other teammate

[long tree]

Usually whoever I'm not using on my main team

[runic ether]

if u have zhongli u shouldnt do jump cancels

[long tree]

Like Bennet

[runic ether]

that being?

bennett isnt great for tao though

[long tree]

Oh is he not?

[runic ether]

no

she wants to be under 50% hp

and she scales off hp

[long tree]

Oh right the ult heal

[runic ether]

way more than attack

[long tree]

Who would you recommend

[runic ether]

xiangling, a 2nd hydro, sucrose or kazuha

yelan is the obvious pick for a 2nd hydro

but mona can work

as can c6 candace

or burst ayato

[long tree]

I'll probably go with xiangling

Sucrose I still haven't farmed for

[runic ether]

and if u have a shield like zhongli

u can go n2c dash

[long tree]

And yelan is on my main team

[long tree]

Oh nice saves my thumbs a bit of awkwardness

[runic ether]

or n2c jump multiple times into your last one being a dash

since n2c dash can pp slide

and burst off it even on mobile

and its a dps gain

[astral drift]

almost failed on 5th wave

[old galleon]

based

[summer hornet]

Ayyyyyyy

[runic ether]

@old galleon

[old galleon]

looks okay at first glance

not sure i'd run this over multiplication tho, let alone some of the other abundance lcs

depends on how big a difference the effect res makes, probably

https://i.imgur.com/iepg7cu.jpg

it's been 3000 years...

at this point i think the only welfare i'm missing now is kiichi hougen

[summer hornet]

You finally complete the Elizabeth family

[old galleon]

yeah

sad to say replaying halloween 3 wasn't in teh cards bc i don't really like 100 mission events

so this works out

||one more st alter ego for the ort fight||

[old galleon]

||https://i.imgur.com/qYRYF2G.jpg||

drake putting up decent damage on the burst turn

only np1 and apparently her s2 is still only 1 so i'm gonna be fixing that lol

[old galleon]

relevant fgo updates: gil-kun has s3 level 10 and is properly fou'd now; medb is also properly fou'd, although her skills are gonna have to wait a bit before being leveled more

mk.ii will be invested in a bit later, i was gonna do it now but bluestacks hates me and just booted me off so i'll wait

eli-chan and brave liz strengthenings are also done now

i'll do caster liz a little later

finally, ereshkigal will be given proper investment in the near future as well

[versed pawn]

Well they will come one day

[astral drift]

[mystic python]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMiYAEj46Rc Jingliu trailer for HSR is out

[runic ether]

not nearly as good as the myriad celestia trailer for her

[glossy latch]

Welp, guess I didnt get Lynx

(Dont wanna cash in remaining starlight)

[digital marlin]

And I got Fu Xuan in the last ten pull

[old galleon]

my last ten pull gave me a lynx dupe and a dupe of only silence remains (which i've switched out for cruising, so it's not too useful for me yet)

so no fu xuan but no e7 pela either and e1 lynx, so can't complain too much

now i save for a bit

[glossy latch]

[torn harbor]

I got a 2 fu xuans and a gepard from the fu xuan banner
And 1 of her light cone from the light cone banner

[runic ether]

seems you got a bit screwed when pulling 4 stars u want lol

iirc it took u a while to get sampo

and now lynx

the rating pistol gives dr ratio a score of 30

and ruan mei a score of 47

i no longer have any idea what the rating pistole is measuring

[glossy latch]

Yeeeeep

I did get Sampo E6 eventually though lmao

[summer hornet]

That turned out to be infinitely easier once I had Dan Heng IL to just burst down Yanqing’s summons with indiscriminate firing

[runic ether]

i wonder if fu xuan will be enough to keep the rest of the team alive to jing liu

[runic ether]

hsr servers are up

[glossy latch]

Oh right thats today

Remind me, whats the leaked schedule for upcoming units again?

[runic ether]

not leaks

1.4 is huo huo and then argenti/silver wolf with hanya

*1.5

1.6 is most likely ruan mei and dr ratio

though hanabi assets were added

[glossy latch]

I see

Also apparently they changed ||Screwllums|| kit

... and made it super boring

[glossy latch]

Damn that was fast

[runic ether]

i had a guarantee from losing e1 fu xuan to himeko in 10 pulls

so i had way more than enough to get her

pre-farmed too

[glossy latch]

Blimey

Hm

Trying to remember if any other character between now and ||screwllum|| has anything for my teams

[runic ether]

small testing off jing liu

i havent even given her a light cone

cus im debating using my guarantee on her cone too

but anyways shes insane

also i was worried for nothing

fu xuan solo sustains just fine

i do have a concern

shes just straight up better than yanqing

its power creep

[late canopy]

This is not the first time I've heard tales of HSR constant power unit'ing, especially compared to Genshin next door

[runic ether]

im gonna overcap on crit rate

https://tenor.com/view/crying-emoji-dies-gif-21956120

also im not using a weapon on jing liu on principle

[late canopy]

At least the frequency amongst released units seems much higher

[runic ether]

err

light cone

she doesnt need it

https://tenor.com/view/mujikcboro-seriymujik-gif-24361533

also e6 qq is now skill point positive in some scenarios

[runic ether]

it was 100% exaggerated

dan heng il was said to be the new dps peak

but he required a super specific team comp to get to that point

not outright better than seele

[late canopy]

Oh ok I see

[runic ether]

jing liu though

shes 100% better than yanqing who is a launch 5 star

my yanqing with a light cone performs worse than jing liu with an honestly scuffed relic set

only her rope and orb are decent

fun jing liu tech

if you get her ult as she last sizzygy stack ends, u can get another one

post-240 fuel farming

it was close

im overcapping crit

https://tenor.com/view/crying-emoji-dies-gif-21956120

maybe i should add a random light cone on her for the moment

[versed pawn]

Oh right can't wait until my shift ends

[runic ether]

im done here

for now

mostly cus im almost below 1 mil credits

and i wouldnt wanna be below that

[versed pawn]

I prefarmed everything

[runic ether]

jing liu pull was kinda last second for me since i was originally gonna go for topaz

i just had a lot spare cus i havent leveled a destruction character up highly

just a bit of clara levels + talents

[old galleon]

Sending you a friend request since apparently I haven't done that yet

[runic ether]

gotcha

[runic ether]

jing liu's sound design is actually great

[versed pawn]

[runic ether]

lower that crit rate

trust

u will overcap by a lot with 49

at least in most teams ive tried her on

ive been overcapping on crate at 33%

also i gotta level this cdmg body i have but its got really mid subs

oh another thing about jing liu

i feel i was lied to about her burst uptime

cant believe ppl will actually run err rope or consider it

she gets her ult up super fast

[versed pawn]

with my current buffs i hit 99.6 i dont see why to go lower right now

dunno which other crit source i gonna get

[runic ether]

i guess with pela and nat its harder to overcap

ive been running her with fu xuan

and fu xuan's crit rate share

overcaps her from the 99.6%

hmmmge

u could theoretically build her with 0% crit rate in a team with fu xuan and yukong

🤔

13% from fu xuan, 29% from yukong

42% + 50% from jing liu

rutilant arena can get her the rest of the way

99.36% if at exactly 0% crit rate

yukong also gives 70% cdmg

u know im starting to like this idea a lot

[mystic python]

Her energy gen between the 2 different skills was different in beta which'd result in less energy, so ERR rope used to be a consideration and ig people aren't up to date

[versed pawn]

i dont run Err rope

speed boots

atk rope

she is exactly 1 speed faster than my bronya

[runic ether]

yeah err rope felt super wrong

spd boots is correct for sure

[summer hornet]

https://vxtwitter.com/KaroshiMyriad/status/1712044555439345778

Oh wow this topaz character seems interestin-

Debt collector
And there goes any empathy for their character

[copper steppe]

tax fraud

[runic ether]

and apparently shes one of the nicer and more reasonable ipc agents

carried by the fact that she actually cares for ppl

i have a feeling the ipc will be a bigger villain role in penacony

[copper steppe]

the greatest enemy

captalism

[old galleon]

is penacony gonna be hsr's socialist arc

[runic ether]

maybe

only thing we know about penacony is that it was a prison world turned into a paradise by the family and that said family is inviting a bunch of influential ppl for some festivities

also we got some hints about it at the end of this quest with topaz in belobog

also penacony is sci-fi japan

we also know of characters that will show up in penacony

some new some old

leaks/rumors: ||sampo, black swan, and hanabi will be there based on leaks. sam/firefly is a rumored boss fight. yae sakura expy will likely show up in penacony. raiden mei and a 2nd raiden will also potentially show up in penacony. aventurine be showing up too||

[ebon quartz]

Decided to toss a single pull at Jing Lu and got e1 Tingyun. Sadly not another eidolin for Sampo...

[versed pawn]

just realize i need to build bailu now

[astral drift]

no

i think fu xuan can solo sustain them

mostly cus blade is basically immortal on his own

and jingliu blade will be bouncing off each other's inate skills well

yeah something like that

[void cargo]

but why exactly molay? do you already have everything you need?

[astral drift]

more or less, i'm rolling for my favorites

[old galleon]

why molay

[rigid pilot]

Ah that's valid

I'm still undecided on who I will NP6 for 120. I'm part of the way there with SpIshtar but I am unsure if I wanna go 120

[astral drift]

As in above 100?

[rigid pilot]

My SpIshtar is 110

That said I may wanna do Kukulkan to 120 and three appends

[astral drift]

Somewhere in between 100 and 120 makes me feel incomplete 😅

Theyre more generous with giving out grails later on so you should have plenty for kukulkan

[ebon quartz]

It's kind of funny to me that Blade with Fu Xuan actually leads to Blade dying a few times and I HAVE NO IDEA HOW

[void cargo]

if i ever get to the point where i dont know what to spend my quartz on i will probably try to np6 prelati if he/she ever comes to fgo

[ebon quartz]

It's always when I have the auto battle on and walk away, I come back to Blade with double digit hp and then dying.

[runic ether]

oh auto cannot play fu well

[old galleon]

alrighty mk.ii is 80 now

Nice

I took my time to get every Liz to 80

genshin is getting a character voiced by daisuke ono

Fuck

[glossy latch]

Ono

Yeah Im starting to think pulling Wriothesley and Arlecchino might be tough

[versed pawn]

I skipped fu xuan

[glossy latch]

Also

Domains that require specific elements

Suck

[glossy latch]

Man it feels weird ot play for a couple hours and get like 90 gems out of it

[runic ether]

mondstat domains are famously kinda shit

as u build accounts, they become significantly easier

*characters

[glossy latch]

Liyue actually

The story one

I had a fire unit but its the sequence puzzle

Xiangling sucks for those

I guess the MoC equivalent in Genshin is more important to getting rolls than HSR huh?

[runic ether]

ohhh not the domains with like

the one time reward ones

[runic ether]

spiral abyss yes

its a bit harder

but hsr is got relatively new

[glossy latch]

I see

Still, I dont even have 10 rolls so far and Wriothsley is in a week

[runic ether]

https://tenor.com/view/emoji-emoji-disintegrating-emoji-disappearing-meme-21st-century-gif-24891417

if its any consolation

wriothsley is pretty mid without furina

[glossy latch]

But he looks fun >.>

Also why Furina specifically?

[runic ether]

her damage boost is massive and he works directly with it to get max stats for it

like neuvillette

neuvillette wants 4 different elemental hydro reactions so while furina kinda breaks neuvillette

wriothsely doesnt has a limit like that

he gets freeze + melts/vapes

but without furina hes just okay

the big thing about genshin

and this is true for hsr too

is that dps are rarely ever must pulls or top tier unless they are particularly crazy

like star rail jingliu is a straight up grade to yanqing

but even yanqing can clear most content anyways and fast too

but the difference between fu xuan and march 7th is a chasm

its similar in genshin where supports and off-field dps in genshin will almost always be much stronger and more important than an on-field dps

[glossy latch]

That feels weird from a selling characters perspective

[runic ether]

again

genshin and hsr to an extent

will sell u the characters bc u like them

like in genshin genuinely only kazuha can be considered an upgrade to sucrose

but even then

sucrose has many teams where she is better than kazuha

and kazuha is what ppl consider a near "must pull"

nahida is replacable too

and every on-field dps is replacable in genshin

ganyu, ayaka, wriothsley are all only marginally better on-field than kaeya

they have basically a different job

ganyu is a charge attack dps so she has range benefits but is prone to interruption

ayaka is a burst on-fielder but has energy requirements and her infusion and dash make it a bit awkward to dodge and hold other infusions in a team

wriothsley will shred his own hp but has very constant cryo application

his downside is that he can never carry another element in his normals or charge attacks and his own hp lowering can actually get u killed and that hp drain doesnt do anything for your own damage outside of marechausse phantom set and furina which is not out yet

kaeya has them all beat in consistent cryo and ability to apply it off-field when he wants and his skill cooldown is really short

his constellations are easy to obtain, swords are very good

he can play harbinger of dawn much better than ayaka can for instance since ayaka after a certain point wants to stack attack

if you get candace or bennett c6, he can infuse his normal attacks with hydro or pyro

[glossy latch]

Right but he looks fun

I dont think we know anything about Arles gameplay yet rigt?

[runic ether]

we dont

[glossy latch]

Other than element/weapon iirc right?

[runic ether]

we know element from in-game

its pyro

weapon is leaks

but initial leaks had her as pyro sword

later leaks have her at pyro polearm

[glossy latch]

Ah

[runic ether]

its most likely gonna be pyro polearm

a theme that the fatui harbingers have is that they have a sort of stance change

childe is a hydro bow

but his skill turns his bow into 2 swords

[glossy latch]

Oh I thought they were daggers

[runic ether]

wanderer is an anemo catalyst but his skill lets him go from a ground range attacker

and has him literally fly

[runic ether]

short swords

in cutscenes and other parts of the game, childe also uses the short swords into one long polearm

lore reason childe uses a bow is that its the only weapon he hasnt fully mastered

[glossy latch]

Literally throwing for content smh

[runic ether]

lmao yeah

kinda

but the other harbingers we have seen

la signora and il dottore

they also have a duality to their characters/kits

signora uses a catalyst in her boss fight before switching to pyro

dottore we dont actually know how he fights but we know he has multiple clones of himself and he is said to rival gods in terms of strength as the top 3 harbingers all are able

childe is hydro vision + electro delusion
signora pyro abilities + a cryo delusion

[glossy latch]

Delusion? Thats a thing? Man the lore is complicated

[runic ether]

whatever arlecchino's delusion is will probably dictate if she has a sort of stance swap

oh yeah delusions are man-made

the fatui created delusions which are given to their footsoldiers and harbingers but are very volatile

and can and will harm the wielder

vision holders are basically budding gods in the lore

their strength, speed, durability, and mastery over the elements are very much close to how a god or archon is

most people in genshin universe cant even begin to control elemental energy at all

there are exceptions of course but vision holders are on another level compared to the average person

delusions are not as powerful but imagine trying to bring an army without being able to even rival a group of vision holders. the fatui wouldnt be a threat if they didnt have advanced tech and delusions

[slow raft]

Not cutting it close at all

[runic ether]

honestly it sounds so jank

wrio/baizhu/furina/xiangling

slow hydro app, slow dendro app, fast pyro app and consistent cryo app so u can vape, melt, burgeon consistently in a team while having the healing to not drain wrio the 120% of his hp per rotation

[old galleon]

Broke through the wall, finally

I've finally gotten seele somewhat up to par

She needs some more crit damage but otherwise she's fine for now

[summer hornet]

This + the supports bit sounds fairly akin to FGO

[old galleon]

well you have a few options

1. sell you the character
2. sell you their looks
3. both

i define "character" broadly here, but you could split that up into "the character's lore/personality/etc" and "the character's overall power or utility in the game"

fgo definitely does both, but esp for global clairvoyance, we know how relatively good a servant is well before it releases

but even the shittiest ones gameplay-wise tend to have some sort of following

my go-to example for that is phantom, since there's a guy who is playing all main story content using him

last i saw he had just ||beaten demonic beast barghest toward the end of lb6||

||i have no idea how he's gonna do cernunnos||

but like, fgo could design a servant who's clearly underpowered, but gives them a good design and/or character, and people would totally roll for them

[summer hornet]

Very true

We've seen it happen before lol

[old galleon]

absolutely

[summer hornet]

And there's also the buffs

[old galleon]

cough saber shiki

but yeah, overall, i think hsr's character writing could totally result in that kind of situation too

i think it typically does a good job of making its characters likable

and a lot of the designs are neat too

even if jingliu weren't as blatantly busted as she is, people would roll for her

same for fu xuan, and il before her, and blade before him, etc

for me, serval's one of my favorite characters in the game, and she's....not in a great position meta-wise

if i had resources to spare i'd totally roll for more of her dupes

[summer hornet]

Wait, she isn't? I've got her to 70, considering 80

Lol

[old galleon]

i'm not saying she's bad

but she's directly competing with jing yuan, if you have him

which is a losing proposition unless you want to use both together for some reason

[summer hornet]

Ahhh

I am jingyuan-less, but now that you say it that makes sense

[old galleon]

something i hope hsr does, but probably won't, is eventually release buffs to units who need them

wouldn't expect anything like that until at least anni

but off the top of my head, physical trailblazer seems to be hard to justify in a world where fire exists

[summer hornet]

Yeah, it doesn't really stand out

[runic ether]

serval is a decent character

the problem is erudition as a path overall

but serval jing yuan anf qingque escape the mold of erudition

serval is weakest of the three but she has a niche in dot teams

jing yuan has a lot of damage to carry him through content

and qingque is competitive with the current best dps in the games because shes a destruction character

[old galleon]

iirc someone was on an "e6 qingque > seele" spiel, which i don't buy

[runic ether]

its actually true in some situations

e6 qq has near dan heng il damage

competitive with jingliu and blade and seele

[old galleon]

i can see competitive, but not strictly better

[runic ether]

correct

for multi target situations, blade, jingliu, qq are the top 3

seele is worse than both in this situation

err

worse than the 3

multi-hit meand 3-4 targets

dan heng il and seele are the best in single target/2 target situations

clara and jing yuan are very very close to the destruction trio in multi target and they all lose out to clara in strict aoe (4+ targets)

everyone else can and will clear too btw

but they will do it worse than seele, dan heng il, jingliu, blade, and qingque in most content

[summer hornet]

Okay, wait, I think I missed this too

I knew Qingque was apparently deceptively good, but she's Blade/Jing Yuan level?!

How does that work

[runic ether]

she is a destruction character in disguise

she is also at e6 extremely skill point efficient

[old galleon]

getting her to pop off is actually consistent, despite how rng her kit looks initially

[runic ether]

her main deal is frontloading damage and

she is extremely consistent

[old galleon]

e6 removes her biggest drawback

[runic ether]

yep

she gains a ton of buffs on her own kit too

her e gains her stacks of damage, her q and e can concurrently allow her to on-demand get her enhanced basic attack and she has a 24% chance to completely nuke a group/enemy

that damage stack allows her to work with every single buffer

[summer hornet]

Can you translate q and e for mobile players

[runic ether]

q is burst

e is skill

sorry thats genshin talk

[summer hornet]

Ahhh, lol no prob

The overlap is..... Considerable

[runic ether]

but yes in short

qingque's only aoe portions to her kit is in her ultimate

her skill is single target until enhanced in which case it functions exactly like a destruction character

this allows her damage to frontload a ton of damage by not getting the enhanced basic if you dont need it to set up efficient skill point turns

and when you do need it, you can then do massive damage

[summer hornet]

Oh wow

Okay yeah, that makes sense

[runic ether]

her ultimate cost is really high but she does not need it outside of some set ups when you need say 3 enhanced basic uses

which tbf for this moc 10 cycle its useful to use

qingque's only real weakness is aoe (lol) and that she requires a ton of investment

also like blade, jingliu, and seele

qq is very very good as a sub-dps in a team

her own buffs and her efficiency withs kill points means if you need to do duo carry teams she does very well at gaining skill points

also while i say she requires a ton of investment i mean she needs e4 at minimum and her talents need to be heavily invested in with a great relic sets

while this is true to dan heng il and blade and jingliu

[summer hornet]

She needs it even more?

[runic ether]

shes not great until this point whereas even seele and clara and ying juan will likely do well at lower investment

the general tiers at least for prydwen but most ppl also like qualifying characters like this in star rail is interesting

as of 1.4
single target
s+: dan hen il, jingliu
silver wolf
bronya, e1-6 tingyun
fu xuan, luocha
s: blade, kafka, e6 qingque, seele
e4-6 pela
e4-6 asta
gepard, e2-6 lynx
a: jing yuan
e6 luka, welt
e2-6 yukong
bailu
b: clara, e6 sushang, yanqing
e6 sampo
e6 march, e2-6 nat, e6 fire trailblazer
c: e6 dan heng, himeko, e6 hook, e6 serval
d: e6 arlan, e6 herta, e6 physical trailblazer

in 2-4 target scenarios the changes are:
e6 pela rises to s+
clara and e4-6 asta rise to s
himeko, e6 serval rise to b
e6 dan heng, e6 sushang and yanqing drop to c, e6 herta and e6 hook rise to c

in aoe 5+ targets the changes are:
clara overtakes daniel and jingliu for dps at s+
silver wolf drops to s while jing yuan rises to s
e6 qq drops to a
e6 herta, himeko, and e6 serval rise to a
luka drops to d

the only thing eternal about hsr is that bronya is the tsaritsa supreme guardian and arguably the best character in the game for enabling everyone

tingyun, silver wolf, fu xuan, and luocha are very close behind her

situationally pela

your dps genuinely matters little since all of them can clear content. sure the aforementioned ones can clear the fastest but u can do it with arlan if u want.

but the comfort given by having daniel or jingliu or blade or seele or e6 qq clearing everything is fun

[long tree]

Simply unable to lose a 50/50

[runic ether]

hanya's kit is out
https://imgur.io/a/zNo7Y1A

oh shes kinda cracked

e6 is absurd

this makes argenti and silver wolf banners in 1.5 insanely good if you get hanya

[runic ether]

1.5 will also be increasing the battle pass level cap from 50 to 70

51-70 for f2p players will have 10k credits per level for a net total of 200k credits

and paid bp will have relic craft material for a net total of 4 relics

20 per level

azur lane just dropped 13 hard

so i guess that's what i'll be doing in that game for a bit

time to re-equip my anti-air carries

probably gonna go sandy mob, cheshire boss

[old galleon]

i have 5 of my 6 backrow slots covered by carriers and i still don't have air supremacy lmao

bb/bc is required for one of the 6 so that's as much as i can do

https://i.imgur.com/wsPvxaK.png

.....it died in a 3 triangle heavy fleet wat

i am so confused

bruh do not make me put a rudder on my flag

[old galleon]

yeah okay i think i get it

gotta treat 13 hard like 14 normal

shit is punishingly random

also reworked the fleets accordingly to something i saw elsewhere

mob now is volga/independence/unicorn/jervis/scylla/plymouth
boss is musashi/bis zwei/aquila/anchorage/sandy/harbin

in other words, fleets you'd see in world 14 minus some anti-air carries

much as i want to run plymouth in boss, i think her sheer output is better served in mob here

yeah i think i'm getting walled again

i've done like 4 resets on this 3 triangle carrier fleet to no avail

5

6

yeah idk

yeah fuck it

i'm not spending all day doing this

i'll revisit 13 hard after i get a second wyvern or something

[runic ether]

shes pretty good

i think that crit rate is basically perfect

gonna actually level a good cdmg body

and eventually gonna get her to full quantum

[old galleon]

Got jingliu trying to pull tingyun

Also got another march dupe in the same roll lol

I assume jingliu should be just fine at e0

Still probably gonna go for tingyun before the banner expires

[ebon quartz]

Oh Hanya is just a better Tingyun okay

[runic ether]

absolutely

her best light cone is her personal of course but 2nd best is on the fall of an aeon

[runic ether]

not quite

but they are very very good

basically think of hanya as a 2nd tingyun

keep in mind as well

these are beta

so hanya may get nerfed

[old galleon]

Tingyun has finally been acquired

Got jingliu, an unnecessary march dupe, e3 qingque, and a sampo dupe in the process

Now I can save

ayyy 2nd best support? character in general?

she only doesnt really work with blade thats it

[old galleon]

the only support i use atm is a level 80 dhil i added a while back (no one uses seele but mine is good enough to do things), so no worries

another eden just handed out 3 what seems to be guaranteed 5* tickets (what you get is random but it's one per time period (antiquity, present, future)

with mine i've gotten pizzica dupe (antiquity), as soira (present), as ciel (future)

there's also a ticket to choose between ns tsubame or ns tsukiha (i took ns tsubame since mine was only 4*)

good lord

there's like 6 things here

fifth one is a guaranteed kikyo, i think

i already have both kikyo ns and as so this one's not as important for me

but kikyo is a solid unit if yo udon't have her

then one for either yukino or heena (both of them are kinda meh in the current game but between the two i'd suggest yukino)

(i have both so again, not important for me)

then one for necoco or garambarrel (if you have neither i'd probably take necoco unless you have red clad flamemancer, although getting necoco even then would let you eventually sidegrade into necoco as; i'm taking garambarrel since mine is only 4*)

oh and today's whisper of salt time gave me a 5* lokido dupe, so more light for him, i guess

finally, the guiding drop we just got

gave me an as myunfa dupe

so out of all of those, the best one for me is as soira

the dupes don't really matter; they just yield 16 l/s for that character

as ciel is okay but definitely is showing his age, and garambarrel 5* is also nice but as soira seems to be more applicable as a tank overall

she's also wind so i can stick her in my sesta comps

also as someone who has a 4* normal style, i've pulled a ton of her dupes over the 4 years i've been playing, so she's very high light for a gacha unit

yeah with the as soira pull i have her at 129 light lol

[old galleon]

took longer than i'd like to admit to find a stable strat for this

but it's done, so whatever

myrus' true manifest gives one of her skills an added earth zone, so now i finally have access to all standard elemental zones on a skill

fire/water/wind all have grasta for them, so even if i didn't have natural setters, those would be easy (and aisha, an easy to get freebie, has both water and fire in her kit)

only downside for myrus' earth zone is that she needs four earth units in the front for it to apply, but if you're using elemental zones, you're probably doing that anyway

and necoco as can split the difference
