[runic ether]

their ultimate goal is overthrowing celestia

and they are collecting the gnosis for it

all 7 of them

we saw signora kick a twink for one

and then she negotiated with rex lapis for the 2nd

scara traded it with yae

u will see what happens in sumeru

and fontaine

ah i guess

they already have the cryo gnosis

since the tzaritsa is an archon herself

we all know its bronya so she will be the strongest archon

actually

i believe raiden holds the title of strongest archon? at least from a battle sense

[glossy latch]

Do the archons gain their power from the gnoses?

No right they dont

Hm

[mystic python]

They gain some; it's been likened to a battery, so they can use it to power stuff, but they have power in their own right

The gnoses were given to those who "won" the archon war, after all

Where other gods like Osial, Havria etc. fought and died/were sealed

[runic ether]

rip orobashi being a real one

fought raiden 1v1 and got his ass beat so bad his skull is the decor for an entire island

[glossy latch]

Also wait, il dottore is #2?

[runic ether]

ye

[glossy latch]

Does he even have any powers?

[runic ether]

did u just meet him

of what we know, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd harbinger are all beings with powers that rival the gods

[dull bridge]

capitán is 3?

[runic ether]

#1

[dull bridge]

or is he 4

i forget

no

isn’t pierro 1

[mystic python]

Pierro is unranked, he's just the leader

[runic ether]

1: capitano
2: il dottore
3: columbina
4: arlecchino
5: pulcinella
6: scaramouche
7: sandrone
8: la signora
9: pantalone
10: ???
11: childe

pierro is #0 the director/unranked but in charge

[dull bridge]

well childe is #1 strongest in my heart from fontaine story imo

[runic ether]

the 10th harbinger has been unnamed, unseen, unmentioned everywhere

[dull bridge]

he was fighting what

some fucking insane power level being

for 45 days straight

that’s kinda insane

[glossy latch]

Nah I was just reading some wiki stuff

[runic ether]

their rank is not just equal to their power

[glossy latch]

I vaguely remember him not having any particular powers I can tell

So Im surprised to hear he has that much power

Also are we sure there is a #10?

[runic ether]

yes

[glossy latch]

Oh wait yeah Childe is #11 isnt he

[runic ether]

its the 11 fatui harbingers and childe is #11

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/ede85900-260a-4049-9498-1d65f13b4826

this is the harbinger constellation wheel

u can see childe at the bottom

going counter clockwise from childe

[glossy latch]

Childe is the narwhal?

[mystic python]

Yea it's his constellation

[runic ether]

its signora, scaramouche, arlecchino, columbina, unknown, unknown, dottore, unknown, pierro, pulcinella, sandrone

we assume the 3 nails are for capitano

and the one between dottore and pierro is pantalone

and the crown at the center being the tzaritsa maybe?

could be the 10th

but thatd be the only place we can think of for the 10th

and yeah

childe's constellation is the narhwal

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/gensin-impact/images/c/c7/Monoceros_Caeli_Shape.png/revision/latest?cb=20220506220923

this is his constellation monoceros caeli

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/gensin-impact/images/a/af/Character_Tartaglia_Full_Wish.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20220507161504

and his splash art which is in the same shape

[glossy latch]

Pierro is the mask?

[runic ether]

we assume

[glossy latch]

I guess that makes sense since Jester

But I assumed hed be the top one

[runic ether]

very likely given that hes "the jester"

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/gensin-impact/images/a/ab/Peregrinus_Shape.png/revision/latest?cb=20221207033428

[glossy latch]

Since if not the director, who uses the symbol of the Fatui

[runic ether]

this is scara's

[runic ether]

tzaritsa is the guess atm

[glossy latch]

But then wed lack one since its 12 symbols isnt it?

[runic ether]

right

theres 11 harbingers + the director

[dull bridge]

fathers is the lighter

[runic ether]

pierro

but the 10th harbinger is missing

unmentioned

unnamed

anywhere

[dull bridge]

traveler

[runic ether]

so then itd be 10 harbingers + director

[dull bridge]

[runic ether]

and then the top symbol is the tzaritsa

and yeah ive seen ppl theorize the 10th seat is reserved for us

ive seen theories that the 10th seat used to be diluc's father

or was reserved for diluc

[glossy latch]

Just feels weird that it doesnt really line up, but I do think the mask has to be Pierro given the Fool title

[dull bridge]

i’ve also seen the weird theory

of sandrome

and their stuff is split

into 2

but idk

[runic ether]

yeah and the hand gripping the flame is ignis purgatorius

[dull bridge]

sandrome is so cool ngl i really hope she is similar to clara

[runic ether]

yes but this crosses into fontaine world quest spoilers

[dull bridge]

wait does it?

[runic ether]

yes

[dull bridge]

i legit didn’t know

sorry

do you mind explaining in spoilers

[runic ether]

theres a ton

so not rn

[dull bridge]

ok

ill look on reddit

[runic ether]

its also nothing confirmed

its just theories

since we assume that shes from fontaine

and we thought arlecchino was from fontaine but now im unsure if shes even from teyvat to begin with

ik some ppl are taking to saying that her real name is gonna end up being natasha

since she matches th other hoyo natasha's in hi3rd and hsr

[dull bridge]

bro arlecchino the more leaks we get

is becoming more and more of a mystery ngl

[runic ether]

but ik some ppl are thinking what if she actually was just dropped in from another world

whatever it is i believe we are going to get a massive lore bomb

oh also i did think of another theory given the name of the entrance to the arlecchino weekly boss fight

[glossy latch]

Arlecchino matches Natasha?

[runic ether]

where the text reads "here lies harbinger crucabela"

[glossy latch]

Yeah I tried checking that, the name came up blank for me

[runic ether]

they lead an orphanage and are secretly quite powerful

[glossy latch]

I think its italian

[runic ether]

yeah its not from the comedia del arte

but

[glossy latch]

Crucabena actually

[runic ether]

it could be the last arlecchino or the 10th harbinger

[dull bridge]

||another crackhead theory is crepus is 10 and dilutes mom is arlecchino but that is stretching it SOOO far||

[runic ether]

shes way too young

[dull bridge]

||skirk also MABYE but idk that’s also a HUGE stretch||

[runic ether]

freminet was abused by the last arlecchino

[dull bridge]

||im seeing some really crackhead theories on reddit rn scrolling lmao||

[runic ether]

he remembers when our arlecchino overthrew the old one

[runic ether]

there is literally no way since she hasnt (fontaine story spoilers) ||left the abyss. ever.||

but yeah arlecchino is

if we are to believe

around her mid 30s

early 40s

believe she is human that is

the comparisons to natasha/raven mostly extend to her running an orphanage

but also it would be really funny if hoyo just ran the natasha hsr commercial again but edited to be arlecchino

https://tenor.com/view/honkai-impact-honkai-impact3rd-honkai-hi3rd-raven-gif-23466993

ah found it

[dull bridge]

4th and 10th
…
i mean god this theory is kinda interesting i hope it’s true

[runic ether]

the cool ass outfit arle wears during the archon quest + her colors match raven

[runic ether]

it isnt true

the big part is that diluc actively hates the fatui

[dull bridge]

its all a guise

[runic ether]

the lore behind the red dead of night outfit is that he stole it from them

he almost died for it iirc

[dull bridge]

whatever

[runic ether]

just to be petty

[dull bridge]

god

i haven’t thought about diluc in a while

he was my first 5*

i fucking loved him

look at me now

spamming NA with eula

[glossy latch]

Also its weird that for how central it is to the plot

[runic ether]

diluc's mother is another interesting point since he may be connected to the hexenzircle

[glossy latch]

Celestia and that weird god have basically not actually featured in any story

[dull bridge]

actually

[runic ether]

yeah

[dull bridge]

the weird god

i will say

[runic ether]

the unknown god

[dull bridge]

the book

[runic ether]

is a kiana expy

bu thats all we know of her

[dull bridge]

have u seen the book theories misty?

[runic ether]

yes

[dull bridge]

what do you think

[runic ether]

but mostly the thing about it

is that it isnt super relevant

yet

[dull bridge]

yeah

[runic ether]

the more interesting thing to think about is why celestia is actually not active

its mentioned a few times

and

sumeru and fontaine quest spoilers

[dull bridge]

||especially after focalors LEGIT FUCKING KILLS HERSELF and we hear NOTHING from celestia||

like that is a huge thing that confused me

[runic ether]

||we know that nahida gambled about destroying a gnosis may make them awaken. but they didnt awaken after the death of focalors which is whatever the bigger one is them not awakening to the destruction of the hydro throne and restoration of the hydro sovereign's power||

||they dont care if archons die that much is certain since raiden makoto died and they were like ok rip bozo. same with rhukkadevata and egeria||

||and the pyro archon has also died and they dont care||

[dull bridge]

||no yeah with that i more meant destroying the throne||

[runic ether]

||but the throne being destroyed? and they didnt care so far?||

[dull bridge]

||whens natalan after 4.6 right?||

[runic ether]

||my guess is that they actually are unable to care at the moment. literally cant bc if they falter in whatever they are doing the entirety of teyvat is doomed||

[dull bridge]

that didn’t need to be spoilered

[runic ether]

natlan would be 5.0

after 4.7 or 4.8

[dull bridge]

i thought leaks said fontaine was ending 4.6

nvm

[glossy latch]

Do we know where Natlan and Shneznaya are location-wise?

[runic ether]

natlan is west of sumeru desert

[dull bridge]

isn’t natalan up where that dude went

nvm

im wrong

what was that

the black mountains

[runic ether]

shneznaya is north of mondstat

[dull bridge]

varía

varka where did he go

[runic ether]

north

[dull bridge]

i thought he went to natalan

[glossy latch]

Hm

[dull bridge]

nvm

[runic ether]

he went towards natlan too iirc

[glossy latch]

The ecology of Teyvat sure makes no fucking sense

[runic ether]

it does for the most part?

whats confusing?

[glossy latch]

The (expected) extreme climates are placed too close to each other

[runic ether]

p sure its natural disasters

and manmade too

[glossy latch]

I wonder if thats a "its a video game lol" deal

Or it has actual lore relevance

[runic ether]

dragonspine was a result of the civilization that lived on there pissing off celestia

so they got nuked

woe, eternal blizzard be upon ye

the desert was also

[dull bridge]

except that area that’s empty is now filled

[runic ether]

the result of

fuck around

and find out

at the fault of king desheret

and the goddess of flowers

[glossy latch]

Right but tropic rainforest next to basically france is uh

[runic ether]

it used to not be so desert-y and had way more lush vegetation for a full civilization

[glossy latch]

Fairly interesting

[runic ether]

sumeru rainforest is quite far from fontaine

[dull bridge]

god im so ready for natalan

wait nvm

we are getting dain shit before that right

that’s how it goes

[runic ether]

ah no natlan is directly west of sumeru desert and it is separated by a mountain range

[dull bridge]

interlude

[runic ether]

that pic up there is wrong

[dull bridge]

ok

[runic ether]

natlan wouldnt touch fontaine that way

and snezhnaya is farther farther north

mondstat expansion is north of where we see mondstat rn and snezhnaya is farther north from that

there may be an entrance to natlan from fontaine but it wouldnt be a jungle portion of natlan

[glossy latch]

Dont the east parts of Fontaine get very close to Sumeru?

[runic ether]

uhh no

fontaine and sumeru are separated by a huge body of water

actually in 4.6

we are going to be able to see the port that goes from sumeru to fontaine

the desert entrance is uninhabited

[dull bridge]

this is untrue right

i remember doing a remind me when i saw this 2 years ago

before sumer

[runic ether]

yeah thats not accurate

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/gensin-impact/images/d/dc/Teyvat_Map.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20240131162504

heres the latest map

[glossy latch]

I mean its not that huge

[runic ether]

the ditto shaped hole is going to be filled by water

and a small island

and the port in sumeru

[dull bridge]

what about between ina and sumeru

anything

[glossy latch]

Yeah compared to the distance between Mondstadt and Inazuma thats fairly short

[runic ether]

not that we know of

[dull bridge]

also WOW sumeru is HUEG

[glossy latch]

Idk it feels like there should be more distance for such a radical difference in climate

But also it is a video game

[dull bridge]

i never realized

[runic ether]

sumeru wont fit on the map screen even if fully zoomed out

[dull bridge]

well

this was my life

what

a bunch of years ago

lower sorry

but

[runic ether]

i guess they will leave themselves some space between sumeru and inazuma for any other potential inazuma expansions

im ready for more islands who are mostly populated by (raiden-made) disasters

[dull bridge]

yeah

god

when’s 2.6

i mean 4.6

[runic ether]

april 23rd

[dull bridge]

well

[runic ether]

we just started 4.5 this week

[dull bridge]

hm

yeah i know

[runic ether]

also this new event is quite satisfying

[dull bridge]

there’s an event

am i stupid

did i miss it

… whoops

what should i start with

i have so many story and world quests

[glossy latch]

Also damn if I want to save up Firefly Ill have to skip some real good banners >.>

[dull bridge]

firefly?

[glossy latch]

Star Rail

[dull bridge]

yeah

but nvm

[runic ether]

they gave u more time at least

u can skip 2.1 and 2.2

[dull bridge]

yeah misty i had a question cause ur rly smart

should i pull for sparkly for support f or sam, im decided just skip acheron sam is sm cooler

i have like 60 pills rn

[runic ether]

well given that we dont know what sam's kit is

sparkle is another bronya more or less

but if sam is like seele and cares a ton about speed and gives himself action advances and such

his synergy with sparkle becomes dubious

we know hes got an hp drain at least

[dull bridge]

yeah that's what we have seen

[runic ether]

if u pull sparkle its bc u have dan heng il or qq

[dull bridge]

honestly imma just save

so i can get him and his lc

[runic ether]

or really need a 2nd bronya

[dull bridge]

i kinda wanna build clara sam team

just for fun

[runic ether]

we have no idea if they will work together

[dull bridge]

no inmnow

more for the two "girls" with big mechs that hit stuff hard for them

[runic ether]

ah

[glossy latch]

Thats the good banners

[runic ether]

but

from what we know

[glossy latch]

Id have to skip

[runic ether]

firefly will be sam while fighting

[glossy latch]

2.2 I can skip but Id probably get like 90 rolls for 2.3 and if Firefly is in 2.3 its gonna suck

[runic ether]

i saw leaks on the reruns but

idr who it was

i think it was

[dull bridge]

yeah rhars what we thought

[runic ether]

acheron + luocha

[dull bridge]

topaz was one

and i thought fu xuan was rumored or jingliu

[runic ether]

and then aventurine + jingliu

the latest say acheron + luocha

with aventurine + jingliu 2nd

[dull bridge]

ok

[runic ether]

strong banners yeah

[dull bridge]

that's prob true

[runic ether]

tho acheron still will want e0s1

really badly

luocha is good

great even

aventurine will be good

great even

[glossy latch]

Aventurine is tempting if Ill ever want to get the full FuA team

[runic ether]

jingliu is the dps

[glossy latch]

But I also want Firefly and theres a risk of not having enough for Screwllum

[dull bridge]

just use solo clara smh

[glossy latch]

Though who knows where Screwllum is

[dull bridge]

is screw not a 4

was he changed

[glossy latch]

He became a 5* ages ago

[dull bridge]

i thought early early leaks had him as a 4

[runic ether]

he was always gonna be a 5 star

[dull bridge]

oh

[runic ether]

some rumors that he was a 4 star

[glossy latch]

But we also have fuck all idea where he is

[runic ether]

2.4 is my guess?

[glossy latch]

Nah he was a 4* in development, but became a 5*

[runic ether]

maybe?

[glossy latch]

Doubt it

Hes not on Penacony

[runic ether]

actually

[glossy latch]

And I figure 2.4 is still gonna be a penacony patch

2.5 could be

[dull bridge]

we don't know that

tbf

[runic ether]

did u do the oppenheimer quest

[glossy latch]

The what now

[glossy latch]

Dont we?

[runic ether]

theres a quest in the dreamscape that is just a reference to oppenheimer

and breaking bad

but mostly oppenheimer

[glossy latch]

The Interastral broadcast mentions hes in a far away world unearthing the tomb of Rupert I

[runic ether]

yeah

but he does spare time to get involved with us in that quest

[glossy latch]

I assume its via remote connection?

[runic ether]

shows up to penacony in the flesh (idk what a mechanical analogy for this is)

[glossy latch]

Wait hold on

Is this in the dreamscape?

... can he dream?

[runic ether]

he doesnt enter the dreamscape

but he shows up to penacony

[glossy latch]

Oooh

Weird

[runic ether]

||threatens intergalactic war if his demands arent met||

and leaves with you back to the space station

[glossy latch]

... Im sorry what now?

[runic ether]

actually a really good quest

it made me like screwllum and herta a lot more

[glossy latch]

Ill have to get to that then

Idk I kinda dont think well get Screwllum

Granted I dont think we know what world is next

[runic ether]

we dont

we may get hints after 2.3

[glossy latch]

But I suspect we might get Screwllum with the Erudition world

Plus his leaked kit is too lame for the kinda 5* theyre making now

[runic ether]

really? a barrage from a battleship sounds pretty cool to me

[glossy latch]

No like

Mechanically

[runic ether]

oh fair

[glossy latch]

Its a very 1.x kinda kit

My guess is 2.3 is gonna be ||Firefly/Sunday(?)||

[runic ether]

oh btw the quest name is the trees at peace

it should be in your quest logs

[runic ether]

this is what we assume for now

[glossy latch]

Which ... actually yeah

That leaves no one from Penacony

[runic ether]

watchmaker maybe? i doubt it but

u never know

[glossy latch]

||Doubt it, thats a Misha thing||

Could be the ever-flame gang

[runic ether]

yeah

oh right

[glossy latch]

The ones who survived

[runic ether]

i forgot about those frauds

[glossy latch]

But they dont seem to feature

Their designs dont feel like the kinda design youd just waste tho

[runic ether]

la signora screaming in her tomb

[glossy latch]

I guess Ill save for 2.3

And wait and see what well know about 2.4 then

If need be I can just get Aventurine on a rerun

[runic ether]

yeah for sure

better to secure the sam and the screwllum than get stuff for screwllum (aventurine) and miss out on screwlum

[glossy latch]

Ye

Especially since I have neither pity nor a guarantee rn

[runic ether]

better save up then

[glossy latch]

ALso I havent finished Penacony yet

But man this is already way better than the Xianzhou

[runic ether]

its way better

by a lot

even the sidequests are better overall

[glossy latch]

Its a much more interesting world and the writing also feels stronger

[runic ether]

ik the xianzhou ended on kind of a cliffhanger too

[glossy latch]

I like the weirdness we got from Acheron

[runic ether]

so their intent is to be able to go back and explore the other ships as needed

but man did it really feel like a bit of a dud as a result

[glossy latch]

And the underlying mystery of the watchmaker

[runic ether]

yeah

i think as a whole they figured

they could take it a bit easy with xianzhou and focus more on penacony

since they will likely go back to the xianzhou a lot in the future

same way we go back to liyue every single year in genshin for lantern rite

[glossy latch]

Its just odd that the standin for their own home is the weakest experience in star rail

[runic ether]

i assume it will get better

could be they also prioritized a strong start so that ppl would get more invested and then bring up penacony so that even tho there was a bit of a dud in the xianzhou they would bring ppl back with penacony

[glossy latch]

Mmh

Ok thinking about it

... we might get another Xianzhou after Penacony

Its either that or an Erudition planet (Planet Screwllum?)

Abundance feels too early if we havent finished the Xianzhous own bit yet

And I dont think we have anything that works as a nihility planet

No wait

Kafkas home

But that feels lategame stuff

Once were closer to Kafka

So Xianzhou/Erudition planet/Maybe Abundance?

[runic ether]

yeah def nothing like kafka's home plane

my guess is during the later 2.x patches we will go back to the xianzhou

[glossy latch]

Im sure one of the X. series of patches will be Xianzhou proper

Or one of them

But I kinda doubt itll be 3.x

[runic ether]

yeah most likely but not 3.x

[glossy latch]

Too soon

So yeah I think itll be Erudition

[runic ether]

yeah lol

probs?

i wonder if we will go to punklorde at some point

[glossy latch]

Maybe

But since all the ones weve visited so far are planar spheres

Im pretty sure its Planet Screwllum or Vonwacq

Vonwacq is however unlikely since its mentioned to be devoid of intelligent life

Unless we do a "the train crash lands and we survive in the jungle" storyline

But thats difficult to do with how star rail is set up

[runic ether]

i mean

could be phantylia attacks the express directly

and we crash land in vonwacq

and we discover "oh shit actually there are intelligent lifeforms here

[glossy latch]

Yeah but then you get narrative dissonance when you can go "Oh lemme just farm mats in penacony real quick"

[runic ether]

maybe

tho i feel that it will happen eventually

oh actually id love to get more from belobog

especially with that imminent disaster

[glossy latch]

Imminent disaster?

Did I miss something?

[runic ether]

ah wait

have u done black swan's companion quest

black swan + sparkle's

[glossy latch]

I have not even met black swan yet lmao

[runic ether]

o

[glossy latch]

I did like half of the penacony story

[runic ether]

well apologies for the spoilers of a tidbit at the end

[glossy latch]

Eh dont mind

[runic ether]

in any case there is a lot they can cook still

[glossy latch]

Mmh

The only thing is I really have no idea how theyll string along the next few planets

I could see, if we do planet screwllum, the plot being a return of Rubert I

[runic ether]

i hope we just get a proper map

[glossy latch]

That character has gotten way too much of a spotlight already

And there is a constant "but what if he returns wink wink nudge nudge" running through it

[runic ether]

maybe dr primitive involved?

[glossy latch]

I have no idea on Abundance however

[runic ether]

abundance really lacks a set group with personality that isnt antagonistic atm

[glossy latch]

Ehhh, kinda doubt it

[runic ether]

ah i mean in a future planry

*planet

not for planet screwllum

[glossy latch]

Yeah which is why I think they might do the "crashed in an abundant planet" route for Abundance

Oh

Possible but ironically he feels like he'd fit penacony the best

I am 99% sure Nihility will be last

[runic ether]

eh i can see them doing more for dr primitive

[glossy latch]

So its either Erudition -> Xianzhou (?) -> Abundance -> Nihility

Or Abundance -> Xianzhou (?) -> Erudition -> Nihility

[runic ether]

nihility last for sure

[glossy latch]

Nihility leading into whatever is going on with the Finality

[runic ether]

i would assume erudition -> abundance -> back to xianzhou -> nihility

i can see ruan mei fucking things up tho

welcome to propagation part 2 electric boogaloo

and we get an intermission propagation world/glammoth

[glossy latch]

Depends on how theyll do ||Firefly/Sam|| on penacony

[runic ether]

mhm

[glossy latch]

Im also guessing Acheron is gonna be a character well see a lot more of

[runic ether]

probably

[glossy latch]

Like a one-man faction

[runic ether]

...maybe

[glossy latch]

One-woman faction

Shes definitely not a galaxy ranger though, thats for sure

[runic ether]

what if she is lol

like

boothill is there and we ask him and he goes "oh her? yeah shes a comrade."

[glossy latch]

Well if thats the case then she was one

[runic ether]

well yes

[glossy latch]

But she doesnt fit how theyre described

[runic ether]

was

or like

as she says

[glossy latch]

The galaxy rangers are an obvious sentai riff

[runic ether]

galaxy ranger acheron is what they call her

she says to call her whatever u want

but others call her that

very likely she was one at one point

or may have accidentally answered the call that the og acheron was supposed to

and the group she saved just thought it was her

and with her terrible memory she must have said sure more convenient to know my name

[glossy latch]

And Acheron is ... not nearly show-y enough

For a Sentai

[runic ether]

we also know that dr primitive did destroy the majority of the galaxy rangers

[glossy latch]

Which yes, Nihility

Mmh

[runic ether]

have u seen her anims?

[glossy latch]

Ye

But I meant moreso demeanor

Her animations are flashy but in a more ... hm

Sinister way ig?

[runic ether]

ah fair

[glossy latch]

Its not very "hero of justice!"

What Im most curious about with Acheron is

Is she acting of her own will

Or is someone guiding her, using her warped state to manipulate her?

[runic ether]

idk too much about sentai besides like

basic tropes

red is leader
blue is like. foil to red
green is usually smarts
pink is the girl
black is the bruiser

[glossy latch]

Most key part really is that its just kinda ... camp

[runic ether]

boothill certainly fits the camp

[glossy latch]

Kamen Rider is the more "serious" of the big tokus

(Depending on the season)

[runic ether]

actually what archetype is boothill?

[glossy latch]

But yeah I get the feeling someone is guiding Acheron

[runic ether]

physical hunt and likes to swear but physically cant

[glossy latch]

Red

Brash, hotblooded, optimisitc

Typical red

[runic ether]

acheron could be a "lost sentai hero"

cluld have been a black or a blue

[runic ether]

would have said ix but

ix doesnt care

maybe shes not being guided but rather

[glossy latch]

Maybe a follower of finality

Or herself before she became how she is

[runic ether]

she is in pursuit of the trailblaze subconsciously

the reason she turned out how she did involved a trailblazer

actually hmmm that seems to be a theme so far

a member of the trailblaze deeply involves themselves in the future of the others around them

baiheng followed the path of the trailblaze

and everyone around her turned out

well

different

[glossy latch]

Oh no theyre gonna make Akivili the twist villain arent they?

[runic ether]

wym? akivili is clearly the traveler

wait unless akivili is the abyss twin

im super curious as to the fall of akivili still

we got the huge lore drop of a ton of old nameless

but none of them were involved with the exact scenario about akivili's fall

only those who were right before or dealt with the aftermath

[glossy latch]

Do we even know who was involved?

Or even if there was a "fall"?

For all we know Akivili just disappeared

[runic ether]

it was called the fall of akivili

but yea

we dont know

if akivili actually fell

its part of why akivili is the traveler from genshin cus of the whole train travels disguised as a shooting star (just like the traveler) and adored making friends and traveling with them

but the bigger question is why the "fall" happened

[glossy latch]

The main issue I see there is the technological disconnect

[runic ether]

for sure

i dont sub to the theory

[glossy latch]

The traveller doesnt seem to be very tech-y, Akivili was

[runic ether]

its just some fun parallels

[glossy latch]

Either Akivili was attacked

Or he chose to disappear

Im suspecting its the latter

And Im guessing whatever the reason for that is is going to be a central plotpoint

[runic ether]

When Akivili fell, a group of loyal Nameless carried on what the Aeon had started, continuing the exploration of the unknown. They held the belief that one day the will of Trailblaze will connect the entire universe. The Astral Express that once carried Akivili and their followers still hurries between the stars till this day. It is believed that the Express is powered by the heart of the deceased Aeon, and is repairing with great difficulty the star rail contaminated by the unknown cancer.

from the data base of the express

https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail_leaks/comments/1b91817/all_cosmodyssey_characters_their_lore_by/

id love to get more lore from this

[glossy latch]

Kapi Baba is a hilarious name

Also it seems Atma, aka the only one whose face we dont see, knew about the fall

[old galleon]

based, but also probably spoiler s magus base skin

there's a reason i posted feene art instead lol

[glossy latch]

Atma is also, hm

Thats a hinduism term

But I dont know hinduism well enough to know what it means exactly

Anyway I should sleep

Still, Star Rail lore is interesting

Maybe partially because its so open still

[runic ether]

yeah

genshin lore is interesting cus we have a ton to theorize on

star rail lore is interesting cus its so unknown

[glossy latch]

Fitting for a game where we follow the path of trailblaze

[runic ether]

very true

hsr anni isn't until next month

did they announce shit already?

[runic ether]

hsr anniversary is this month no? since 2.1 drops in like a week now

[runic ether]

p sure it will give more rewards than genshin anniversary

[old galleon]

hsr released in late april

they might start anni stuff early, idk, but the anni itself is in april

[long tree]

The anniversary falls on like the last day of 2.1

[runic ether]

oh ur right it came out april 26th

that would be

yeah more or less a few days at the tail end of 2.1

2.1 comes out march 27th

They showed a sneak peak of Acheron's animated short and

Apparently there'll be a lot of scenes in 2.1 where ||depending on dialogue options Aventurine will give you money||

LMAO they originally made Aventurine a dodge-based character, but while Aventurine survived all his allies would die

So they scrapped it and turned to shields instead

So happy to see Trailblazer using the Spear again

We keep using the bat and I'm like, why??

[long tree]

Trailblazer “you get new forms when an aeon looks at me and has pity”
March “you get new forms when I’ve managed to piece together my past and future making memories”
Dan “pull or you don’t get my new form bitch”

[copper steppe]

why doesn’t he dual wield

dual typing trailblazer lol

[digital marlin]

Bat is the iconic weapon. Beside spear is too plain

[runic ether]

yes but make sure to speed tune

[runic ether]

yes for story but for a gacha game leaks are extremely important to stay informed on what to spend your currency on imo

[late canopy]

The general thing for leakers community at least for the ones that Ive seen is that even if you're showing leaks for a game, there's usually an extra layer of spoiler-tagging for anything story related or story-sensitive content

So for genshin it'd be stuff like new playable characters, artifacts, etc are all out in the open when showing leaks but story items, identity of new story/weekly bosses are marked

[runic ether]

yep

the whole sam/firefly thing was an unfortunate case

since that one was spoiled before it meant anything

firefly + sam spoilers came out ages before penacony was even a thing

at least for the players

Hokma moment for sure

finally got around to doing these

And another 6 star i was missing

[old galleon]

You didn't use sunstones on them, right?

[glossy latch]

The new type of wish doesnt save pity, right @runic ether ?

[runic ether]

it does

works the same way as other banners basically

only thing that doesnt carry over is any fate points you get

so if u plan on pulling in the banner u need to plan to go to pity 2x

and unfort pity doesnt carry over from your other banners

[glossy latch]

Im tempted to just roll 10 there for fun so I dont have to worry about burning the pity on the main banner

But also Idk if any of the 5* are worth going for

[runic ether]

meh

[glossy latch]

(I know nothing about Albedo)

[runic ether]

albedo is actually just geo fischl

hes an off-field dps that generates energy

hes quite good. chiori is stronger than him in some instances

[glossy latch]

Could be good for Navia I suppose

[runic ether]

eula is the only physical dps

works extremely well with furina rn

but shes not topping any dps charts

or abyss speed runs

klee is also great with furna

but meh

nothing amazing

the other characters are p self explanatory

mona is a support that buffs your damage by a lot, jean heals a lot and creates fields that can swirl elements, diluc is a plunge dps

the weapons are way more interesting

1st weapon to mention is aquilla

that sword is the best general pull in the banner bc its got the highest base atk (tied) sword

so its one of 2 bennett bis weapons and arguably pulls ahead for most accounts

[glossy latch]

Can Chiori on-field or is the geo infusion pure bait?

[runic ether]

the next on the list is hunter's path which is one of the best bows in the game for tighnari or ganyu

and right next to it is beacon of the reed sea being dehya's bis but also one of the best generalist claymores

[runic ether]

she can but its not meant to be played long on field

its like navia's geo infusion but without the nuke that follows it

[glossy latch]

God Arle cant come soon enough

How many weeks is 4.6 away, 5?

[runic ether]

39 days iirc

so yes just about

nothing notable from GBF rolls today

Made a lot of progress with grid formatting, though! Refined my setup for Lucilius, and did enough runs to get the rest of my Dark Opus Weapons for all the elements that were missing it

Uncapping is... a completely separate matter

but the main part is done!

[old galleon]

just leech pubs, now is a great time for it since people are running him en masse for skyscope missions

just note that if you're doing hard luci to make sure your frontline has over 30k hp each

[runic ether]

https://imgur.com/a/YJId06S

exvuse me?

[glossy latch]

Its significance is unclear

Yeah it sure is

What the fuck does that mean

Imagine if her charged attack transitions into gliding so you can plunge

[runic ether]

yeah literally no idea

does this mean she glides across the ground with her charge?

does she lift up off the ground like neuvillette?

will it be like kazuha where she actually goes up and gets to plunge?

if so this actually means xianyun who was already going to be good with her gets even better

but maybe they mean that this actually involves a form of soft flight?

like a super jump like xianyun?

alternatively she could end up having devil may cry type combos

[glossy latch]

Id hella vibe with that

[runic ether]

as much as id love that too i dont believe we will get a change that drastic

but i hope we get something super interesting out of it

[glossy latch]

Fuck it, unintended bug that makes her have sick as hell combos

That would be the best case scenario ngl

[runic ether]

unfort they have these betas to prevent unintended bugs

[versed pawn]

acheron prefarmed

but what do i do with the remaining days of the event now

decide to go for one more 10-pull bc i really want the funny trapmaster

So close and yet so far from sparking; I've got 20 more rolls between gems and tickets but that still brings me up 40 short

[old galleon]

today is the last day for the current banner with sparkable horus/magus

banner will reset later tonight into the generic flash banner

tomorrow's rolls will be the free 100

incidentally, i got gachapin which gave me three ten rolls, into a mukku which gave me one

both of them gave me new characters

neither of them were any of the rate ups

[versed pawn]

Double top up refresh

Well it's more like 50%

[old galleon]

first run of the night
another ce drop

it's too fuckin easy

[glossy latch]

@runic ether do you know by any chance if Rutilant Arena also takes temporary crit boosts into account?

[runic ether]

yeah it does

set can get enabled mid-fight

[glossy latch]

Good

[runic ether]

its why jingliu uses it

[glossy latch]

Im trying to optimise my Seele

[runic ether]

fu xuan's 12% crit rate boost also works for it

[glossy latch]

Yeah thats why lmao

[runic ether]

so u only need 58% real crit

so long as u can keep fu xuan aura up the entire fight

[glossy latch]

Because I have a crit damage body that has crit rate as a substat

And Im like 1.5% away from hitting 70% with Fu Xuans boost rn

(But its not fully levelled)

And I wanna try to get this so Seele does more damage

[runic ether]

do u have seele lc?

[glossy latch]

Nope

[runic ether]

herta shop?

[glossy latch]

Yeah thats the one I use

[runic ether]

that one is what

16% crit rate?

+12 from fu xuan

28

you might just need to keep hunting for a bit more crit subs

total

raw

16 + 12 +8

36% crit rate

[glossy latch]

If the crit rate upgrades once more Im there

Or I get a better piece elsewhere

Though I am wondering if thats really the way to go with Sparkle

Since Sparkle already gives you big crit damage

[runic ether]

generally u want

bigger crit rate

since this game actually has a fair bit of ways to bump crit dmg

for free

[glossy latch]

Hmmm

[runic ether]

such as the broken keel set

[glossy latch]

Maybe yeah

[runic ether]

my silver wolf is on broken keel

bc i incidentally have 30% eff res

[glossy latch]

Oh wait

[runic ether]

and with fu xuan on it too

[glossy latch]

That gives crit rate doesnt it

[runic ether]

i have 20% crit dmg

[glossy latch]

Maybe I should go Broken Keel on SW

[runic ether]

keel is dmg

broken keel gives 10% eff res and if 30% or higher it gives the whole team 10% crit dmg

[glossy latch]

Oh nvm

[runic ether]

even with e2 wolf, it is a dps increase for the team

[glossy latch]

Hmm

[runic ether]

but

[glossy latch]

Isnt there one that is crit rate for the team?

[runic ether]

im also free to play around with it

no

[glossy latch]

Unfortunate

[runic ether]

actually shit lol

takama

nvm

that one wont be as good on seele

yeah just gotta keep farming rutilant for seele

though tbf

farming it isnt too bad

given that its a very efficient set to farm

broken keel is bis support set if u can meet energy needs

[glossy latch]

I need to fix up my supports anyway

[runic ether]

and p much every non-fua dps wants rutilant

fua dps will want inert salsotto

though

[glossy latch]

Glammoroth is considered BiS now

[runic ether]

ratio topaz will now be using takama too

[glossy latch]

Pain in the ass to get the speed tho

[runic ether]

glammoth is more damage

but the speed reqs are unrealistic

[long tree]

That genshin event was fun

[runic ether]

on a ton of dps

and it directly contradicts some characters like sparkle dps characters wont want to build any speed

[glossy latch]

Yeah I thought as much

Its why I went Rutilant for Seele

[runic ether]

glamoth is really strong when u dont have to care about crit too

uhh

like

black swan

kafka

[glossy latch]

Yeah its what I went for on my DoT DPS

[runic ether]

they can ignore rutilant or other sets since glamoth will be significantly more damage

+24% atk and if u ever manage to creep up to 160 speed?

nut

[glossy latch]

Also its funny how nearly every DPS uses the same BiS set now except for the Quantum ones

[runic ether]

oh also seele and sparkle have weird speed needs

[glossy latch]

Because the Quantum one the game launched with was just busted

[runic ether]

yeah lol

def ignore too good

[glossy latch]

Yep

I really should fix up my Claras equipment

Shes good, but she could be better

Only like 50/100 CR/CD

[runic ether]

100 is a bit low yeah

hm

could use higher crit rate

u can never go wrong with improved crit rate even if salsotto is min 50%

[glossy latch]

Its probably the substats

But Ill have to see

[runic ether]

what are u running on clara?

boxer?

[glossy latch]

Ash Duke

Math worked out on it a little bit better

[runic ether]

yeah it usually should

[glossy latch]

Ah no

I am still on Boxer apparently

Did I never make the switch?

Hm

[runic ether]

time to farm ash duke

[glossy latch]

Ok perfect, I have enough crit rate to hit 70% with Fu Xuan

And 181% crit damage
