Hoyoverse Stole Our Wallets

[hazy fiber]

FuA he attacks a lot so can charge robin as well as his extra turn attacks

[wooden garnet]

I don’t have Acheron or FU teams, and have Huohuo and Fu Xuan too so that’s why he might just end up fully benched for me if not running two break teams lol

Since I mostly use crit and break

[hazy fiber]

Oh i have e6 gallagher and... e1 lynx

So lynx out lingsha in

[wooden garnet]

Makes sense lol

Now that I've picked up Firefly and have her / Jingliu as my main two DPS alongside a handful of other reasonably decent DPS options, my account is finally at a pretty well-rounded point

So now I don't need much in particular and can kinda just putter around looking for favs / chars who synergize well with the ones I have

[hazy fiber]

doin it

but its gonna take forever

[hazy fiber]

ok not having 200ms between actions is so nice

[spiral marsh]

really nice

good job anima

[wooden garnet]

Thanks

[spiral marsh]

This is the best I can do so far. w engines at 40, disc drives average 6 and my levels are still at 45.

This is probably doable but not without a new character or levelling up everything to max current rank

[hazy fiber]

Update:

also:

suuuurely this rolls well

10K Dennies

And 3 blue investigation reports

[surreal light]

yippie

[marsh summit]

wait what

[severe moth]

collab!

[marsh summit]

i guess i shouldve expected this after the interview with nasu and the star rail guy but still

pretty cool

[vocal atlas]

[severe moth]

after playing reverse 1999 having to go back to grinding things in ZZZ feels like such a slog

[marsh summit]

so true

[surreal light]

Really? At most it feels like 3 quick battles and I'm done for the day in ZZZ

[marsh summit]

r1999 has a replay thing so its super quick

also theres just less to farm i feel like

[surreal light]

Ic

[marsh summit]

and theres no rng shit

fuck hoyos equipment

[surreal light]

idk I feel like once you distill it down ZZZ is pretty simple to grind out and respects your time with grinding except for the disk drive which yeah.....

but that's what the tunning is for with elfy

[marsh summit]

elfy is pretty so thats a plus

but theres also the energy problem

[severe moth]

i meant that i cant just keep going, thats the problem

the slog is that i have to stop and wait

[spiral marsh]

after you finish all the content there isn't any grinding left you get enough energy to grind 2 specific thing eg a single w engine or a single character level up then hop off

[severe moth]

YES THATS THE PROBLEM

i would like to

keep playing?

[surreal light]

That's fair. I basically becomes a side game rn until you hit proxy lvl 40

[vocal atlas]

Yeah the energy constraints suck

[surreal light]

then you get the full extent of hollow zero

[severe moth]

idk if its because of the current event in r99 but i literally dont have to think about energy

it floods me with recharges

[marsh summit]

its kinda that but theyre also just not shy about giving candies

[severe moth]

i log off for the day and still have like 20 recharges

yeah the jars and teddies are the event i noticed

[vocal atlas]

And you can’t buy more coffee cause it’s bad for you or something

[severe moth]

but candies are from other sources

[surreal light]

I feel like the next versions need to get the star rail treatment and give us the energy buildup after hitting max cap

[marsh summit]

its also that material stages that arent sharpadonty or dust are really cheap

its like 18 per run

when the big ones are 25

[spiral marsh]

You think max cap will go over 60?

[severe moth]

like to be clear i dont mind how ZZZ does it on a base level, you can spend higher energy for more rewards thats fine

but the energy constraints make it a fucking slog

[surreal light]

No I think we need the hsr system where once you hit cap energy you start building excess energy at a slower rate which you can withdraw from

[spiral marsh]

Also the game isn’t complete yet so after level 45 there isn’t anything to do

[inland badge]

wild

[surreal light]

Have you already done all of hollow zero?

[severe moth]

like i would like to do the harder content but i just cannot do it resource wise for ages because i am energy locked out of grinding

[vocal atlas]

Yeah this would be great. Surprised they didn’t add it to ZZZ.

[spiral marsh]

Nah I’m 43 need to get to 45 to get the last node

[surreal light]

Well the last thing you should get should be able to sink a little bit more time into

cause its withering garden....

[spiral marsh]

Also I have like 6 missions left? and I’ve completed stuff like mewmew etc

[severe moth]

i would like to be unhinged and try to beat my personal best times on hard missions

tyvm

[surreal light]

I can't wait for one of them to be the infamous RPG exploration quest

[spiral marsh]

Mew mew

There’s one left

Hollow there’s quite a few

[spiral marsh]

there was a really fun non tv mission

you get it from the box right outside the video store with a flower

i want more missions to be like that one

[surreal light]

Those are the rally commissions

we probably will only be getting those every patch with new zones.

my issue though is that they use to cycle out weekly for better rewards and they upped the difficulty so this current one does not hit the same

Full linear exploration path is fun though

[waxen ingot]

bruh

[inland badge]

time to start playing star rail

[waxen ingot]

no

it’s also a year out

and i sill refuse to play turn based games

[inland badge]

man

it be like that sometimes

[waxen ingot]

you have one year to convince me

also just ping me in general i don’t wanna have to remove this thread every time

[spring anvil]

Does anybody know if the arcade rewards reset every day or have I already bought everything instantly and am now done with the event entirely

[surreal light]

If you got all the items from the event arcade store you are good most likely

[spring anvil]

lowkey kinda disappointing event, was kind of looking forward to a weeklong snake duel tournament style thing

instead I played like eight bot games and bought out everything

[spiral marsh]

my first 2 games were bot games but mmr kicked in

mfers got sweaty

but i agree

should've upped the rewards and made it a week long thing

[spring anvil]

I'm like 90% sure I didn't play against very many actual players

I did, in fairness, hit the matchmake button frame 1 every time because I'm an impatient bitch

And ended up winning all but one of the games I played

But again
Why tf is this event so minimal

[vocal atlas]

I hate you Mihoyo

[lime zinc]

didn't u want her e1

[vocal atlas]

I did but I didn't want to spend $100 for it

[lime zinc]

oh

they got u

[vocal atlas]

Whatever, I own an E1 Jade and Welt now

[wooden garnet]

[spiral marsh]

You spent a 100 dollars

I’m buying the season pass for Zenless now

[vocal atlas]

[spring anvil]

It has gotten pretty frustrating doing essentially nothing now that I've hit endgame content
Beat all of the Hollow Zero missions currently available to me and now I need to go through the exceedingly slow process of leveling up before I get to do any more
No story to play through, no more individual character missions, etc.
Fun game when there's things to do, but rn there just... Isn't

[hazy fiber]

Thats most gacha games

You just dont play for a bit til content comes out

[lime zinc]

babys first gacha

[hazy fiber]

Thats why u play genshin and the bajillion hrs of content it has

[spring anvil]

I did not like Genshin at all
Starter characters felt awful to play and I didn't pull anybody interesting

[spiral marsh]

Yeah this is the games actual problem

It’s too good to have this little content

I want more character stories NOW

Like you still have things to do I’ve literally ran this shit dry

[lime zinc]

this is how gachas are u just do dailies and weeklies until new content comes every 6 weeks

[vocal atlas]

You can try Starrail if you like turn-based games.

Otherwise yeah it's basically waiting for new content to drop and doing dallies/weeklies

[spring anvil]

I'm just gonna play primarily Fortnite I'll keep it a buck

[severe moth]

[wooden garnet]

lmao

Yeah like I’ve basically peaced out from Star Rail until next interesting patch besides a lil farming

[hazy fiber]

yeah the daily grind is near nothing

and theres march 7th hunt to prep for

[wooden garnet]

Gacha is always balance between doing a billion event things at once, stable grind to save for what you want, and peacing out for a while because there’s nothing going on

[lime zinc]

the less time dailies take in a gacha the better

let me play 5mins a day when there's no new stuff and dip

genshins finally done that but too little too late for me

[spiral marsh]

zzz dailies

open shop, do a scratch card drink coffee and farm 100 battery items thrice

[surreal light]

at least it takes almost less the a few mins and you can go on with your day

[surreal light]

https://youtu.be/0AMqJU4SNhE?feature=shared

My girl is almost here!!

[lime zinc]

are u ready to win ur 50 50

I lost 75/25 on ellen weapon banner and got anomaly weapon

[surreal light]

You jinxed me

[spiral marsh]

i pulled it out of the depths of hard pity

i only pulled because of the frickin hair effect ngl

[spiral marsh]

how many pulls do you have anyways?

since you didn't pull ellen you might have enough for 160 pulls no?

[spiral marsh]

i'm almost done prefarming for zhu yuan

i have her levels done

and her skill upgrades

i just need to get disc drives

and pull her ofcourse

[surreal light]

25 special rolls and 22240 poly

[spiral marsh]

you're rolling for the weapon too?

it's actually a game changer ngl

Also I’m already pulling the anomaly bangboo

[vocal atlas]

Good luck

[spiral marsh]

Idk if he needs luck with 160 pulls

[surreal light]

I don't roll for weapons in hoyo games

I usually see it as bad investment over getting characters

[spiral marsh]

It is a bad investment yes

But if you really like a character

And you wanna see their hair glow

I’d say do it

[surreal light]

As much as i'd like to I will bestow her the second best honour

[vocal atlas]

Yea I'm sure there set but still

[surreal light]

Buying from the gadget store and mod skins

[spiral marsh]

I’m going to run zhu yuan with the starlight engine replica

Because I already have it wasting away and fully upgraded after I pulled the shark

If I pull her that is

I have like 40 pulls left after pulling the W engine

And getting hard pitied once again

I have like anton’s and sokaku’s engines twice

By that I mean one full 5 star and 5 engines separately

[vocal atlas]

Yeah pulling for weapons when going F2P isn't worth it.

[spiral marsh]

I only did it cause I wanted to invest into crit damage for Ellen

Since my crit rate is a 100% which is just dumb to have

I just get the engine and shift disc’s into damage

Zhu yuan’s engine is goated since she has like 5% crit rate and 70% crit damage

She needs a crit engine pretty much

[wooden garnet]

Yeah basically my philosophy too

[marsh summit]

wow the snake duel event sucks

whyd they choose the game where lag actually matters

[marsh summit]

lmao

[vocal atlas]

[surreal light]

Only for the best

[spring anvil]

I'm saying

Side note fellas how are we feeling about my Zhu Yuan pull odds?

Realistically I shouldn't even be trying for her, I have not put ANY effort into leveling Nicole and have no characters to synergize with her
However, she's fun as hell. The missions where she was playable in Chapter 2.5 got me convinced

[surreal light]

Zhu Yuan got a recent change which is a strong bet buff for her if it remains for release. Now you can pair her with any support unit not just exclusively Nicole

So her team options have greatly opened up if you wanna pair her with sokaku or rina for example if you have invested into them

And don’t necessarily want to all in on Nicole

[spring anvil]

I'm less worried about pairing her with a support and more worried about a lack of synergy options
She's the only character in her faction so far, and Nicole's the only Ether damage type character I have

Though I have put a lot of effort into Soukaku

Still only at LV40 but I can get her caught up relatively quickly

[surreal light]

Well I think you still have a good chance to pull her but it may come down to that 50/50 unless you already have the guaranteed. I personally think regardless of all team building and stuff aside she is fun as hell and I’ve been waiting since CBT 3 to try and get her so

I will spread the Zhu Yuan propaganda she’s the awesome dorky powerhouse

[spring anvil]

I do not have that guaranteed (I think)
Eh, we'll see what happens, I'd love to put her in the lineup, could def use another good Attacker

[surreal light]

Well the good news is that we are only still on the first half of this patch so you have time still even after her banner drops to get more polycule. + the monthly roll resets

[spring anvil]

(And by that I mean please God let me have another Attacker that I actually like using)

That's true

I lowkey might also cave and spend the 10 bucks to get the pass upgrade for the extra several hundred chromes

I'm enjoying the game enough that I think it's worth it

[surreal light]

Hmm

I’m still not sure I feel the only thing ever worth buying in hoyo is like that monthly thing. I feel you get your money worth in poly if you just log in every day and you get that special monochrome as well

But honestly I will let the actual spenders come up with the analysis to see where the money is worth while.

[spiral marsh]

it's 5 basic pulls and polychrome enough for 5 more

also enough levelling materials for one character to 50

but it's useless if you don't pull the character

i have 40 pulls for zhu yuan so it's kinda joever unless i get lucky

but i'm not sweating it since pulls on the banner stay on it i'll be happy with qingyi or jane doe

but i also have all the levelling materials to take a zhu yuan to lvl 50, skill 7, and 4 unlocks so i might be coping rn

[spiral marsh]

[vocal atlas]

[surreal light]

I have come to a conclusion

those ballet twins are corny and deserve to get a dumpster dropped on them

[spiral marsh]

I found out how much of a buffer sokaku actually is

It’s about 2X the damage

And this is without the crazy buffs lycon provides

[lime zinc]

me using koleda with Ellen soukaku

[spiral marsh]

Koleda got buffed hella

I saw a title

Didn’t watch cause I don’t have her

[spiral marsh]

Sokaku is crazy just need her w engine

Just spam her special 3 times then hold it

And it’s a huge dps buff

[lime zinc]

yeah I have it max rank

cus it took me like 150 pulls to get ellens

[spiral marsh]

Lycon has like ice damage shred so he decreases ice damage resistance also pushes the 150 daze multiplier to 185

[lime zinc]

I'm close to pity on standard banner

soon

[spiral marsh]

Pray you get grace ngl

She’s v important for shiyu

[lime zinc]

I've been pushing off lvling second team until I hit pity on it to see what I get

[spiral marsh]

Yeah what I should’ve done now I have a couple bums

But you never know they could be op in the future

[lime zinc]

grouping up a bunch of enemies with ellen acissor attack then swapping to koleda she slams in and ungroups them

[spring anvil]

I enjoy the fight more than Dead End Butcher or the Construction Amalgamation thing but yeah they're kinda corny

[marsh summit]

the construction thing just isnt an interesting fight

[spiral marsh]

the fukn shiyu 10 construction thingamabob is the worst

the dancers telegraph all their moves

[surreal light]

Construction is pretty telegraph in its moves imo

The dancers are just straight up unfun with the revive. Yes you are suppose to play around wittling both their health bars down equally but its pretty annoying when they barely have any downtime once dazed

[spiral marsh]

oh yeah i don't have that problem

ice and daze both stop the rez

[spiral marsh]

wait this is way better than mine

i haven't pulled anything except a bangboo less than 70 pulls

You even got grace’s w engine

[marsh summit]

mines actually not that bad https://i.imgur.com/0Esd8j4.png

[spiral marsh]

also about the regular pulls i think after getting an S rank character getting a w engine has a higher probability

[spiral marsh]

look at mine it's horrid

[marsh summit]

so many reds

[spiral marsh]

yeah my rina and nekomata should be red too with how high they are

[marsh summit]

does pity in this game start at 50

or is it 70

[spiral marsh]

the first one was 50 hard pity

[marsh summit]

ah

[spiral marsh]

but yeah after 70 it kicks in i believe

my bangboo luck is really good tho

i should've pulled for variety

[marsh summit]

i just got one for the 3 s ranks i use

[spiral marsh]

yeah but they really help build up anomaly in shiyu

i pulled 2 physical types

[marsh summit]

i havent done much shiyu yet

just finished the ballet twins story

[spiral marsh]

i just wanted some extra pulls before it resets next month

so far i've gotten 2

your characters on the other hand will probably dominate shiyu

(i really want grace or soldier)

[marsh summit]

soldier is so fun

i want koleda too tho

mono fire with koleda soldier and ben looks fun af

[spiral marsh]

yeye

i should be saving for qingyi for my team but i'm getting zhu yuan fomo

[marsh summit]

im staying strong for the frieren robot

[vocal atlas]

Got Lycaon's S-rank engine on standard banner.

[lime zinc]

it's meant to be

[surreal light]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JmdwCmuA0I

Slightly only slight going wild

i can't wait till they drop the ost for all the character songs

[spring anvil]

Easily my least favorite boss

[spiral marsh]

goat

W engines for their set characters are busted

ellen's W engine made her 2X as good

[vocal atlas]

Yep, basically free 30% Atk and Daze for Lycaon

[spiral marsh]

i

want

it

but getting it from the shop is like sacrificing 30 pulls for a W engine

that you might just get lucky/unlucky to pull from the standard banner

[vocal atlas]

You certainly try your luck on the standard banner but the safer bet is the shop.

[spiral marsh]

but 30 pulls for the special banner

i hit level 45 tomorrow and get withering garden

i'm so excited for tomorrow

we also get zhu yuan banner and ewc

momentous day

[vocal atlas]

I wouldn’t really worry about the weapons, I know there good stat sticks and have good buffs but they ain’t necessary unless you want to clear content much faster.

I’d focus more on characters.

[spiral marsh]

too late for me

i spent 70 on the shark

[vocal atlas]

[spiral marsh]

imagine if i didn't pull the w engine

i would've been devastated lol

but it did make a big difference

i do like 20-30K damage

max goes upto 50

least is like 8K

i'm comparing to anton and neko who do a quarter as much

[vocal atlas]

that is kinda crazy

[spiral marsh]

yeah i switched up my disc's

switched out crit rate for crit damage and my the ex generation disc (idr the name) for attack percent

Biggest change is getting Manuel chain attacks as an option

[spiral marsh]

just found out hollow zero unlocks missions?!?!

you know those items and recordings you get

if you collect all of the ones in a single section it tells a story/gives a mission related to it

[spiral marsh]

I didn’t know crit damage as a substat went this high

[spiral marsh]

just saw someone do 153 pulls to get zhu yuan f2p

i'd be devastated

[surreal light]

Don’t make me nervous like that

[spiral marsh]

love that hollow zero's last nodes modifiers make daze buildup useless

anomaly too but holy they get dazed for half an attack

if my ellen dies enemies just become immortal

[spiral marsh]

my bad g

atleast he got her

[vocal atlas]

You got this Dust

[surreal light]

I shall stream the pulls in here once I’m back from groceries

[spiral marsh]

Pray for me

Intensity 9 was really fricking hard ngl I’m guessing intensity 11 is going to be hellish

I’ll do it after my pulls tho

[spiral marsh]

I had 30 pulls

after doing hollow zero i had 40

i was sweating at that last W engine i'm ngl

tldw

i pulled zhu yuan

[surreal light]

The luck of the draw blesses you

[spiral marsh]

praying for you guys too

Sending you my luck

[spiral marsh]

Ellen and Zhu Yuan comparison

Ellen’s disc drives are better by like 3 levels each and somewhat stat wise too

Otherwise their levels and skills are equal

[spiral marsh]

okay zhu yuan

gameplay wise

way more fun than ellen

i can't wait to make a full team for her

like ellen is extremely vulnerable zhu yuan on the other hand stuns with her entire kit and dodges like a pro

[vocal atlas]

Yeah kinda wish I didn’t spend tapes for Ellen, oh well

[spiral marsh]

But you only spent enough to lose the pity no?

I think that’s a W ngl

Now you can 100% get Zhu yuan

Just went to 404 with her

||she took down a suspicion person with an over the shoulder throw. She’s so cool ||

[vocal atlas]

It took 80 pulls so

I only have half the amount of pulls to try and chances are slim.

[spiral marsh]

Bro…

Look at my pulls

147 on hard pity

And 31 on Ellen and 35 on zhu yuan

Never stop gambling

[vocal atlas]

That's great man but historically the only time I got a character early was Genshin and it was fucking Tighnari.

[spiral marsh]

I was probably the unluckiest person here

[vocal atlas]

Rest of the games..soft pity at 80.

[spiral marsh]

Till a couple hours ago

Well

Just pull in increments of 10 as you get them

Cause qingyi is in bw and idk if anyone wants her

Otherwise you’ll be saving up for hard pity Jane doe

[spiral marsh]

I got diluc from the venti banner

Idr really since it was ages ago

But I didn’t get venti that’s for sure

[vocal atlas]

Meh, I'll hold off till I see if Seth is gonna be an event freebie or not.

[spiral marsh]

Afaik he’s gonna be on the qingyi banner

Like Nicole and Ben are rn

[vocal atlas]

Oh he's on Qingyi? hm

[marsh summit]

is qingyi first or second

do we know that yet?

[vocal atlas]

I think she's the first half.

[marsh summit]

cool

i guess it makes sense that same faction is back to back

[spiral marsh]

200 impact on my lycon and i can't daze for shit

i'm going insane

[severe moth]

where see stats

[spiral marsh]

signal tracker for zzz

it's like the genshin one

[lime zinc]

https://zzz.rng.moe/en/tracker

i did not get her in the 1 ten pull i had

[vocal atlas]

Unluckiest exclusive channel human being

(except for bangboos I guess)

[spiral marsh]

Okay hollow zero is so fricking dumb on hardest difficulty why does it take a billion hits to stun enemies for 2 seconds. And when I miss a single dodge I get combo’d to oblivion

(This is boss 2 out of 3 they’re randomised but somehow I get the robots when I have no electric characters on my team)

[severe moth]

OH NOW THAT IM PULLING FOR NICOLE I GET HIM

[spiral marsh]

LMAOOO

once you get c6 you start getting a pull for each copy (20 tokens)

also C1 nicole is all you need pretty much

[severe moth]

i got fucking ELLEN trying to pull for him and NOW he comes home?

fuck off

hes c3 now, i guess

[spiral marsh]

what the frick

so lucky

[severe moth]

i repeat I WAS TRYING TO GET ANTON

its okay i paid for this by being incredibly unlucky in reverse 1999

i was trying to pull a 5* on a banner (still am tbh)

i got 2 6* characters, one of which was on ANOTHER BANNER, before i got 1 of the 5* character

i still have only 1 of her

i have 7 of the other 5* on the banner

the max dupe rank up in that game is 5 copies

[marsh summit]

relatable

i wish medpoc would leave me alone

[severe moth]

sounds like you need medicine

for reference i got fucking

1 tennant

7 necrologists

1 isolde

and then 5 pulls after the isolde i got Lilya

[marsh summit]

opposite for me lol

[severe moth]

tennant was dead last

i literally just wanted tennant

[marsh summit]

i have more than max tennants

[severe moth]

no one else

[marsh summit]

and p1 necro

[severe moth]

PLEASE SHARE WITH THE CLASS

I STILL ONLY HAVE 1 TENNANT

[marsh summit]

only if you share 6 star luck

[severe moth]

i want to fucking mald

[severe moth]

i am cursed i always want a rank under but end up getting random top ranks

want anton? get ellen

[marsh summit]

thats how it is

no pity on lower ranks sucks

and theyre usually shared rate up too

i hate it

speaking of shared rate up

[severe moth]

want tennant? lmao get two 6*s within 5 pulls before you get her

[marsh summit]

fuck r1999 global for doing that with tooth fairy

[severe moth]

i just wanted the lesbian

[severe moth]

suffering

[marsh summit]

i got fucking centurion from that

[severe moth]

finally played the snake game wow the ping is bad

[severe moth]

i have reached the victoria housekeeping moment

AKA the cutscene that made me do sparkle eyes at the animation way back when in beta lmao

[spring anvil]

GOT HER YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

DIDN'T EVEN NEED TO GET TO THE GUARANTEED S RANK PULL I LUCKED OUT AFTER USING POLYCHROMES TO CREATE 26 TAPES

STILL GOT A LOT OF THESE MFS TOO RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

[lime zinc]

Nice

[severe moth]

poggg

||im such a fucking loser i was fully intending to listen to the "dont take food from rina" thing and then the moment she offered me food i was like "oooooooo food from pretty woman oooo!'||

ballet twins stuff

[potent eagle]

understandable

||DONT WORRY NICOLE I WILL NEVER DITCH YOU EVEN IF YOURE A BAJILLION DENNIES IN DEBT||

i have not learned any lessons since the previous message

[vocal atlas]

nice

[lime zinc]

need to make a 2nd team

[hazy fiber]

VA in hsr stepped down ( did bad stuff in past)

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/978173632482263060/1265857022633447504/FB_IMG_1721873929168.png?ex=66a308b8&is=66a1b738&hm=fe42fcc6de926ea45b8878315fa397c36f01a5f875b2bae2fff3258c392bdf97&=

[severe moth]

yuhp

[vocal atlas]

Guess someone else will replace him in 2.5

[surreal light]

Yeah also the long process to redub old lines as well

I think it was for the best.

On something in a lighter note

https://youtu.be/I-ekcFSdke8

[potent eagle]

werent there many that got called out

i saw something about svarog va but didnt read more into it

[severe moth]

WHERTE THE FUCK IS NICOLE

[lime zinc]

disaster

i now have more S rank engines than characters

ill just win the zhu yuan 50/50 in next few weeks nw

[dry shard]

diluc va, sunday va, svarog va

[spring anvil]

So I think my two teams for now are going to be
S11 Piper Lucy
ZY Anby Nicole
Both teams have a DPS, a character capable of stunning, and 3/3 synergy boosts
We ball effortlessly, but would be balling harder with Koleda > Piper

[vocal atlas]

Piper is somehow the only A-rank I don’t have

[spiral marsh]

same i just got her during zhu yuan pulls

every other character i have copies of

[spiral marsh]

my 2 team are Ellen Lycon Sokaku

and Rina Anby and Anton

and Zhu yuan Anby nicole

man i might be lucky asf for 1.0

if i get grace i will probably stop pulling forever

[spiral marsh]

https://youtu.be/-pFq08cIB2k?si=9pu58Y4Z_DViYcEt

this guy is goated

follow the guide to make a crazy build

@surreal light her w engine is only like 5% better than starlight engine

so you were right no need to pull her weapon banner

[surreal light]

[spiral marsh]

brimstone is beating her signature in some areas so it's a good shout

so if you have that and no soldier11 you can try it out

koleda lucy >> nicole anby until nicole is C6

[vocal atlas]

30 pulls

Well at least I'll have a patch and half to save up for whatever character I want next.

[spiral marsh]

that's good again

your luck is hella good

[vocal atlas]

I just thought I was gonna throw 40 pulls down a whole and say "Welp that was pointless."

Least I can make 3 teams now

[spiral marsh]

i need a fire team

gotta pull ceasar

[lime zinc]

I'm like 40 into zhu yuan banner I should be able to reach pity before it's gone I just need to win 50/50

and if I lose 50/50 at least not get a koleda dupe

need a new character

[spiral marsh]

you still have hella pulls from shiyu and hollow zero left

[lime zinc]

yeah

[spiral marsh]

they're like 20 plus pulls

so it's gucci

[lime zinc]

I'm lvl 37 now

[spiral marsh]

i got 800 already from the hollow zero achievements alone

[lime zinc]

been spending my battery at drive disk place till I decide which other characters to lvl

[spiral marsh]

yeah that's the only valuable thing unless you're upgrading a character

i'm using battery to farm money these days

broke asf after levelling 8 characters at once

[severe moth]

wasnt counting but what pity did i even get mine at

76

[lime zinc]

did u get enough nicoles u wanted

[marsh summit]

i feel like i need glasses now

[surreal light]

I got to floor 99 of infinite abyss after putting it off all the other betas

[lime zinc]

I dont know what that is but

[vocal atlas]

Yeah the image was blurry, sorry

[severe moth]

ONE

SINGULAR

NICOLE

[lime zinc]

[surreal light]

It's the mission you get where you can do the optional task of going down 99 floors

[spiral marsh]

i did the needed floors when u saw i had all the drops

wait

42K???

[lime zinc]

[severe moth]

MEMEMEMENWJEIDJJF

[severe moth]

finally i get the 4* i fucking want

first try

i hate you genshin but also thanks for being the only gacha to give me what i asked for

bless

[spiral marsh]

Never again

I know the total time says an hour but real time this shit took me 2 and a half almost

Counting breaks even more

here's some tips

1. get the shuttlecock it's an S rank dodge resonia that slows down time on perfect dodges

2. get like 8 dodge resonia

3.get atleast 4 crit and shield resonia

4.pull for lycon

[lime zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/drake-yachty-censored-not-drake-tech-support-gif-8658410013845332703

almost

[spiral marsh]

There’s a reason. No other mfer has the invincibility frames to tank the damage in critical 11.

The vid has spoilers for the withering garden boss. It’s the final boss from the beta version.

You can see lycon just dongwalking through over 50K damage

[vocal atlas]

Does he know?

[lime zinc]

2 hp rolls

couldve been worse

[spiral marsh]

look at my ellen ice polar metal

shit is ass

you got lucky

i didn't even get an attack

[lime zinc]

u got this at least thats good af

[spiral marsh]

i do have 4 god pieces on ellen tho

[lime zinc]

im so glad substats are just fixed amounts in this game

will make the grind so much better

[spiral marsh]

yeah my slot 4 and 5 are bad

the other 4 are op asf

[lime zinc]

getting there

i will win 50 50

https://tenor.com/view/dark-sorcerer-shadow-wizard-money-gang-lebron-james-satan-not-today-satan-gif-13569863587002490676

[spiral marsh]

[lime zinc]

and if i lose itll be to grace or soldier

[spiral marsh]

[lime zinc]

or fur man

[spiral marsh]

inB4 nekomata

[lime zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/lol-laughing-cat-funny-gif-5670070

[lime zinc]

they need to change this so all the next shows at once

[spiral marsh]

get a hollow resonium

they're sometimes v op

collection specialty doesn't matter

[spiral marsh]

Mfers with soldier 11 are the only ones who got to 7

Not cope it’s true

[marsh summit]

armpit buff

[spiral marsh]

Unless I pull and build her in 5 days I think stage 5 is where I end my run

[lime zinc]

im stuck on 7 cus no 2nd team yet

need to build one

[spiral marsh]

blue is perma

red resets

per month

if i don't get the goodies they're gone forever

[lime zinc]

yeah i know

its not that much though

u will get to the point u get max rank every time

tho they make it harder over time

[spiral marsh]

They increase the leve by 5

Idk if they go over a max level of 70 tho that’d be dumb

[lime zinc]

i mean just in stats like

in hsr its been a year and the max floor now has x2 the health as it did in 1.0

in genshin its been 4 years and the max floors are like x4 as hp

to adjust for players lvling characters more and getting better gear and characters

so u always have something to work torwards

why does this freaking button reset after every cutscene'

almost lvl 40

https://tenor.com/view/glorp-glorpdrive-gif-13032160313165045319

[marsh summit]

its really annoying

[spiral marsh]

2 more

[spiral marsh]

he's just like me

[spiral marsh]

Another one

Looking at pieces like these makes me wanna get new pieces for my Zhu yuan and for a couple of slots on Ellen

But need so much luck

[spiral marsh]

@timid nimbus kiko doing zzz fanart

just did zhu yuan

[spiral marsh]

I need an S rank W engine for her so bad

Give me crit rate

[lime zinc]

Nice crit ratio

[spiral marsh]

she get's 30 crit using her special so it's around 50

Yeah this

But only like S rank dps weapons have the crit rate modifier

So if I had one I’d be at max 80 which would be perfect

[lime zinc]

what substat does the battle pass one have

[spiral marsh]

crit rate

but it's bad

not worth at all

[lime zinc]

rip

[spiral marsh]

best bp one is the anomaly one

[lime zinc]

I'm like 19 to pity getting there

[spiral marsh]

the new event gives so many polychromes you'll get it today probs

[lime zinc]

I have m6 Ben from pulling on the banner too so I'll probably build him

only m1 nicole

[spiral marsh]

33% better with sokaku

Really want over 10K to be more consistent

[lime zinc]

50/50 lost

[spiral marsh]

sorry for your loss

[lime zinc]

i suppose ill do ellen koleda soukaku for first time then anton anby rina for 2nd

at least it wasnt nekomata

[spiral marsh]

just get her pen ratio up

[lime zinc]

i dont know what the heck rina does ngl

gotta do her tutorial again

[spiral marsh]

you just use her special or just a single basic then switch out

Around 2X damage I think

Wait I’ll send a better one

The buff wore off

[vocal atlas]

She is one of the best supports rn though so

[spiral marsh]

Yeah here it is

She gives around 20% of her penetration (ignore defense) to everyone as long as one of the puppets is out

[lime zinc]

[spiral marsh]

It’s more it’s 25% + upto 12% on max

My pen is 50 I think so I get 25%

wait for an electric dps rina is going to be sss

[spring anvil]

I beat ||Nineveh||

[vocal atlas]

[spiral marsh]

||good luck with critical 11. you'll need it ||

[spring anvil]

||I will not even be attempting difficulty modifiers until I can get characters above Level 50||

[spiral marsh]

well i did it at 50 and 2 at 45

i think you should go for it

[spiral marsh]

@spring anvil op

[spring anvil]

shuttlecock is def absurdly good

side note I'm kinda surprised I won this attempt, I went into the finale with Anby ZY and Lucy

In retrospect I really should have just kept S11 over ZY when I had the chance

[spiral marsh]

yeah i just use the 3 characters i want and no extras

[spring anvil]

But I still won so we take those

[spring anvil]

That's probably smart, however I am not

[spiral marsh]

getting someone weak at the start just ruins the run

[vocal atlas]

[Koleda Story Spoiler] ||WHAT THE FUCK||

[vocal atlas]

|| ||

Also holy crap I need Koleda for my fire squad

[lime zinc]

i just spent liek 400 energy building anton

then

i got zhu yuan on 2 pity

[lime zinc]

in star rail i havent gotten a 5 star character on single digit pity and ive pulled 30

here i get 2 out of 3

[surreal light]

What does that tell you

Cause I promise this may lead down a slippery slope

[lime zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/gamblecore-stickman-casino-gamble-gif-7118676210396292522

[spiral marsh]

bro...

7 and 2 pity banner characters

i wanted to build pity and farm nicole copies but i think i'll stop now

i don't want to accidentally pull and ruin my chances for future banners

[lime zinc]

just pull better

[spiral marsh]

i have 5 S ranks

i'm only missing like s11 and grace

[lime zinc]

[spiral marsh]

koleda too mb

[lime zinc]

I want grace

I even have her engine

[spiral marsh]

same

[lime zinc]

it's meant to be

[spiral marsh]

i have no s rank w engines

except ellen

[lime zinc]

I got soldier 11s and graces

solder 11 I use on zhu yuan now

[spiral marsh]

lucky

[lime zinc]

and ellens I got for her ofc

[spiral marsh]

it's like 2% worse than her own w engine

i would probs 600 for it

if i didn't wanna pull every single time i get something

[lime zinc]

saving 600 for engine is a scam just buy pulls

u will get 5 star engines eventually anyway

[spiral marsh]

yeah if my luck is bad

so far only pulling characters

[lime zinc]

and u will eventually get rank 5 of 4 star ones which aren't much worse than the standard 5 stars

sometimes better

I won't be getting any more s ranks for a while

[spiral marsh]

crit rate S rank only

reason why my zhu yuan stats are so dogshit

[lime zinc]

roll more crit rate substats

[vocal atlas]

Gamba harder

[marsh summit]

https://tenor.com/view/qingque-honkai-star-rail-honkai-star-rail-angry-birds-gif-4332136470234486438

[spiral marsh]

okay c4 nicole and c6 ben so far

sokaku and anton also C6

the rest of the A ranks are C2 (except piper)

i think i keep pulling till C6 nicole

[lime zinc]

went back onm that fast

https://tenor.com/view/gamblecore-stickman-casino-gamble-gif-7118676210396292522

[spiral marsh]

gamba brain too stronk

imagine if i pull another S rank other than zhu yuan it'll save me the dissapointment of not pulling on the next banner

(i want grace)

[surreal light]

|| Zhu Yuan what have you done watching all those tapes ||

[spiral marsh]

compare my luck to mina's

twice as many pulls

same amount of S ranks

[lime zinc]

i got unlucky losing the 75/25 on engine banner

[spiral marsh]

just the main banner

[lime zinc]

[spiral marsh]

then again i am on like 60 to S rank pity because of my nicole pulls

i'm stopping now tho

C4 is decent

[lime zinc]

I dont think I'll pull for Nicole dupes since I won't use her long term if at all

I think I'll do Ellen soukaku koleda and zhuyuan rina anby

and then just pull on good 5 star supports/stuns

[spiral marsh]

her c6 gives squad members 15% crit rate

like her entire kit just goes super well with zhu yuan

[lime zinc]

yeah but I think she'll just get replaced pretty fast by new units

most 4 stars will

[spiral marsh]

but another ether support

we aren't getting another ether character even

for another 2 months probably

but i am deffo replacing my anby

with qingyi

useless C2

[lime zinc]

patience

I just dont wanna invest heavy into a 4 star I know will get replaced and I'll never use again but she's still good till they make a better support for zhu yuan

[wooden garnet]

Bnuuy

I have the leaks for the other new characters too, just posting these here since they were the once I bothered to save to photo roll since I’ll be going for her lol

[lime zinc]

5 star gallagher

[vocal atlas]

dang

probably skipping her still

[spiral marsh]

why? she cute

is it cause of the meth fumes in the room?

[vocal atlas]

I'm broke turt

and I'm not spending money to pull for her

[spring anvil]

yo I do not like Soul Hounds

[hazy fiber]

Already was in the plans

[spiral marsh]

damn

[spiral marsh]

you have to play like 5 games i think

[marsh summit]

soul hounds is good

[spring anvil]

yeah I already finished it

[spring anvil]

me when I lie

[marsh summit]

just not smart enough to understand it ig

[hazy fiber]

Gimme card sleeves with this art

[wooden garnet]

I should be in good condition to get Lingsha since I have a guaranteed and some savings, but her LC I would probably need some strong luck

Kinda whatever though if I miss on it since I can just have her run the F2P Gallagher LC

[hazy fiber]

Im not gonna get her LC

Rather have another character

[potent eagle]

i got 6480 in apoc shadow

bronya-less jingliu with ghallager is the best i've done in the argenti fight somehow

[hazy fiber]

Is it not 6k for max rewards?

[potent eagle]

it's 6600

[hazy fiber]

Damn

[potent eagle]

yeah

[hazy fiber]

Who are the bosses now? Last rotation I failed cocolia/argenti

[marsh summit]

rip

[potent eagle]

in the beginning 6590 was the best I got in level 3 which was so annoying but I got past in the end

[potent eagle]

still those two, just ends in 6 days

[hazy fiber]

Ah

[potent eagle]

newest refresh was MOC

[hazy fiber]

MoC i wait for march

[potent eagle]

i havent seen her kit but im sure she's cool :)

[hazy fiber]

She has good synergy with topaz based on creator server vids

Does some FuA too

So probs better than asta in my current topaz comp

[spiral marsh]

I finished inky’s trust events

Inky doesn’t move in with you

My disappointment is immeasurable

[spiral marsh]

Which disc is better?

I just rolled an attack +4

It’s deffo better than the extra crit rate and crit damage right?

i've realised that +2,3 and 4 discs are the good ones if you roll a plus into a bad slot the disc is usually a waste at that point

[vocal atlas]

I mean normally my thought process for DPS are crit rate/crit damage is better, but idk how ellen works so.

[surreal light]

|| They cooked with Feixiao liked I hoped I don't care if I don't have a proper team for her that's a hard roll.||

[spiral marsh]

i have 130 65 atm

i'm aiming for 75, 150 which i think will be perfect

[vocal atlas]

Yeah I'd say aim for at least 70 crit rate and then push crit damage as high as possible.

[spiral marsh]

i still have 2 bad disc's on ellen so it's deffo achievable

[lime zinc]

the one with 15% attack

4 attack% rolls better than 2 crit rolls

[spiral marsh]

yeah that's what i was thinking

[lime zinc]

also with ur crit ratio keep in mind the passive from ellens engine

[spiral marsh]

oh wait

that's hella crit rate

okay i was wrong

you do adopt the cat

i named her pishi

it's such a great name because it has so many meanings

it also means pee in urdu

[potent eagle]

I just saw Feixiao gameplay

if I can't guarantee her I'm going to have to skip Black Swan

[spiral marsh]

First lycaon and now this

[vocal atlas]

There was someone in the Lycaon storyline who liked him cause they said they love furries

[lime zinc]

u sure u didn't just self insert urself there

[vocal atlas]

No

[dry shard]

im sure she is an excited girl

[spiral marsh]

[spiral marsh]

a lil too much

That is beyond outta pocket like

Being down bad is one thing, having furry enjoyers in a game is something else entirely

Yeah lol

A lot of the characters keep saying "sus" as well.

[wooden garnet]

A timeless classic in the making

[vocal atlas]

Alright, the ballet twins suck.

The revive they do is so stupid.

[spiral marsh]

you have lycaon

just stun then before they rez

or freeze them

I did it with Zhu yuan team.

[vocal atlas]

Neat more free stuff

[hazy fiber]

https://hsr.hoyoverse.com/gift?code=QB2XKWZLNUK3

[vocal atlas]

also the monthly reset is tomorrow

[surreal light]

Also like I got to hear a little bit of new huohuo and tail and it does not hit anywhere the same as before I’m like so sad

Literally the va’s brought so much to the duo and now I’m just so sad about it

[potent eagle]

not foot fan service what have they done to my star rail 😭

[vocal atlas]

Yeah I’m a little sad to the old va for argenti and tail got replaced.

[surreal light]

Tail va I so do not vibe with. With the upmost respect to the actor but it’s just not giving the same energy

They had like a great performance selling a back and forth dynamic and some of my fav scene in the game and now I just don’t know if I’ll ever be getting those good performances again from the pair.

Still got support the new va’s though in trying to take the task of voicing my fav’s

[spiral marsh]

200 free polychromes

for rina and zhu yuan fix

[spiral marsh]

explain

what do we exchange?

don't say dennies

cause i'm broke

[spiral marsh]

okay i got another crit damage piece for ellen but the substat rolls are horrendous once more

now (with my w engine buff) i just have near 100% crit rate but only 130 crit damage

idk if i wanna go through farming so much just to get screwed over again

[spiral marsh]

I think this is the best I can do

Missing out on so many rewards

[lime zinc]

missing out on 3 pulls

[spiral marsh]

i didn't get the disc modifier

didn't know what it was till it was too late

and i'm 300 short (which i could get from here)

[lime zinc]

i couldnt even S rank all of the first 10 stages

my 2nd team is way too weak

lvl 2 skills

[spiral marsh]

[lime zinc]

im working on it

lvling anby and rina

got one

rate the teams turt

[spiral marsh]

banger teams

i ran zhu yuan with sokaku and lycaon and ellen with anby and rina for most of the S ranks i had

i think if you (eventually) get lycaon i think koleda lucy and zhu yuan is a pretty good team

especially if you don't have c6 nicole

[lime zinc]

got a rank on stage 2

one of zhu yuans voicelines "dont get hit!" thanks zhu yuan ill keep that in mind
