[plucky cradle]

when are they adding it to dkey box

[glass nacelle]

[glass nacelle]

pay 100$ to get dkey box

[plucky cradle]

Elygone

[glass nacelle]

no negative dmg => bad

[muted mauve]

Fpsgone

[final locust]

did she get better in ER?

jfc thats wild

[plucky cradle]

well the dkey did certainly add some changes to her ego signets

[final locust]

she was insane in ER before now shes better

elysia the woman you are and forever will be

[plucky cradle]

real

[muted mauve]

Finally the free xtal box is out.

[plucky cradle]

[final locust]

is there a 43 affix in the box?

im about to take it tbh
put it on my hhe

probably gonna put it on solon T if there is one

and use the wafers i got from mirage store for the other two and kiana

[plucky cradle]

yes

[gleaming imp]

Mobius spotted 🛐

[glass nacelle]

[plucky cradle]

[glass nacelle]

it seems that ppl have to put kiana and songque in epernay

All valk with heavenly shift tag are used

[exotic osprey]

Who does Kiana use in her team

I hope it's not Dudu, Teri or Sparkle

Cus I skipped all of them xdxdxdxd

[nova osprey]

Sprokle que for the most part

[exotic osprey]

Can I cope with someone else over Sparkle

I will not be rolling her rerun unfortunately I need xtals for the 🇧ita skin

[muted mauve]

vita

[exotic osprey]

Works for me

[glass nacelle]

[muted mauve]

Kiana scored 800+ with Vita support and people here say Vita bad

[exotic osprey]

What why do people say Vita is bad

Bita opie

[arctic skiff]

Ask them

[muted mauve]

because she is slow if you have to her AR and combo atk.

Also because this chat dies if they don't have something to call bad.

[exotic osprey]

I like Vita gameplay it's not as trash as Sena gameplay

I hate Sena gameplay so much

Miss the timing or move one millimeter and you've broken her combo

[rain isle]

[exotic osprey]

I like her being banished to the shadow realm in comps and not doing shit besides being there

[glass nacelle]

good luck with kiana aka sena 2.0

[copper shale]

diff is not that big this cycle yea

considering p1 team also got 800+ no dkey

[exotic osprey]

No...

Please don't say that

It can't be right

Not the insane combostrings where if you miss a single hit or dodge or jump your combo breaks completely

[mossy escarp]

no ignore interrupt is bad

[copper shale]

yea

guaymas perma interrupt

and u also miss atk on guaymas cuz ur too high or something

[exotic osprey]

Haaahhhhh

Why Da Wei

Why would you make my second wife play like this

[nova osprey]

Senas combo string gets broken because u missed the enemy, as long as the button still glows u can still dodge and jump and still continue the combo

[exotic osprey]

It breaks if you dodge iirc

Not if you jump though

[muted mauve]

What P1 team is scoring 800+ on Sa

[copper shale]

ice fox now

oh xd misread thought about this cycle

[muted mauve]

but the discussion was about Vita

[copper shale]

vita should only be better in like bilibili ios cuz d is too high

im pretty sure if low d then sparkle still scored higher

but also sa is just giga tanky for no reason

[nova osprey]

It doesnt, the only annoying part with evade is that if u do it while the atk button glows it uses ur evade skill after u press atk

[exotic osprey]

Might be that

[final locust]

sparkle on Sa?

[mossy escarp]

recommend team is real kek

[nova osprey]

Other than that, while the button still glows u can basicly do whatevet u want, like u can even press/hold atk or wp while the other is glowing

[final locust]

the hell
what boss

[mossy escarp]

not like i have anything else to use anyway

ice fox

[final locust]

oh does hhe take that

[mossy escarp]

no keklema ded

[copper shale]

low d basically sparkle takes much less time than vita

[final locust]

thele should still have hellmaru

[final locust]

why sparkle tho

[copper shale]

what u mean why

[final locust]

what dps is this for new Sa or chicken?

[copper shale]

obviously kiana

[muted mauve]

She is not

[final locust]

ohh

[muted mauve]

Already too score on lower D server like Huawei

[copper shale]

she is, she tanky so u see vita used

[copper shale]

but how competitive is huawei

[muted mauve]

Even on RL the difference between Vita and Sparkle was not large.

[muted mauve]

From personal experience, Huawei RL more competitive than EU's

[glass nacelle]

[copper shale]

but eu is also dead

[final locust]

huawei is top selling phone brand in china right?

[copper shale]

but anyways the point was that low d u should see sparkle doing better than that boss

[glass nacelle]

iphone iirc

[final locust]

damn apple has a monopoly on cellphones

[glass nacelle]

[muted mauve]

sure. But that's just sparkle in all cases

[copper shale]

right so sparkle basically always better unless u have high rank vita

so becuz sparkle always pretty much better ppl call vita bad

[grim sentinel]

to confusing just 10 pull both n call it a day

[copper shale]

tho i wonder whats the top score for ios for this cycle

[muted mauve]

what in the logic jump...

[copper shale]

i wrote low d sparkle better, also it takes high rank for vita to be better, so for majority of ppl sparkle just better, for loa

[muted mauve]

we were talking about how Sparkle benefits from lower D and you jumped to Vita needing ranks

[copper shale]

i jumped to vita's rank because in what's carrying vita in high d is her ranks

[glass nacelle]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1sfPfeGEvR

[copper shale]

idk to sum it up, high d = need more dmg, sparkle dmg no longer good enough, vita gives more dmg, specifically high rank vita.
this would mean for most sparkle just better

ice fox this abyss right now non ios server should just be hohe sena thel, ios seems to be vita for higher SO dmg

[muted mauve]

Does not match what I've seen. Even low to non ranked Vita was enough.

Tho if criteria is most players then Sparkle will always be better since they will be agony and below where enemies are made of wet paper.

[copper shale]

so what highest score did u see for rl vita for sa

[muted mauve]

I thought we were talking Nirv

Vita RL was in the 8xx.

[copper shale]

low d is rl no, nirv in general is just high d, its just some much higher than the other

[copper shale]

o u mean low ranked vita was enough for nirv, idk is it

last time i checked for nirv, assuming full s0, i found sparkle just perform better than vita

[muted mauve]

remind me to screenshot scores when it reruns

[copper shale]

well u can just compare bilibili refs for now altho its not complete

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV12jFeeFE7b/
found higher for vita but its sss vita instead

[somber egret]

Sparkle and Vita Support for Kiana on Sa is so close ~3~5 points diff regardless of rank

[copper shale]

wat

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1mfFfeqE6Q/?vd_source=0c55e9eeea7f01cd7949940b979fafe9

i mean if u willing to bring up ranks then vita yea, 3s vita for 797

sparkle ranks no idea but her ranks also just dont do as much

[somber egret]

3S Vita and can't 800

[copper shale]

i mean u go 12s and top team is 82x

this boss score not high

altho mainly cuz a lot of points r lost to transition but still

[somber egret]

SS0 Kiana SS2 Vita - 817
SS0 Kiana SS2 Spork - 815

[copper shale]

is that u testing or is there refs

[somber egret]

played on friend's account

[copper shale]

idk sounds low the scores u got, tho ig it depends on wat d it is

[somber egret]

only have S0 Kiana and Spork on my account

[copper shale]

ded game fr, wanna find ref and cant even find ppl with that kind of setup

[rain isle]

Lovely peeps

[copper shale]

altho tbf tho, i think most ppl call it bad becuz of dudu

[plucky cradle]

vitabad

[copper shale]

like if it wasnt a 70 point gap or something for dudu sparkle vs dudu vita

and if it only it wasnt like a 15s diff for sss ma bosses for dudu sparkle vs dudu vita

at least vita do see usage in epernay for loa but thats like the only time it matters

[mortal osprey]

wish vita had shorter field time

[short knoll]

too broken pls nerf

[hoary mountain]

She can sometimes have shorter field time. If you have enough SP by the end of your attack chain, you can skip her combo attack and use ult instead. You'll still have the buff.

Keep in mind that you wont get Stellar drain this way.

[nova osprey]

Specificly for loa u will

[hoary mountain]

You mean specifically NOT for wheel of destiny

[shrewd socket]

imagine using bita on WoD

[copper shale]

u dont get it either for ws tho

so it is just loa

[still vine]

why

[glass nacelle]

Imagine not using bita on wod

[plucky cradle]

[hard meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/rainbow-spongebob-imagination-gif-11877335675029242228

[somber egret]

She doesn't need to consume Stellar Drain on Wheel of Destiny Team most of the time. only time to use it is before first Stellar Outburst.

Only World Star is where Vita stuck on that one, cause there's no other way to take her Stellar Drain

[hard meadow]

but combo give extra ari from those stacks

usually worth even in wod

[somber egret]

It's a one time thing

after first stellar outburst, that skill is invalid

[hard meadow]

[somber egret]

Ohhh you mean the stacks, it's the same generally 1 Stellar Drain = 25 Intensity
for Vita, 1 Stack = 10 Intensity

[somber egret]

But it's irrelevant cause Vita QTE is turned off, chasing max stack will just result for slower rot and less dps field time and dmg

[hard meadow]

are we talking about a specific boss

usually i have vita qte on

[somber egret]

It's better off, generally

only Law of Ascension needs on

[abstract night]

[rain isle]

I got 47.1k with S0 Juan, good enough

I can definitely get 47.2k + if I play better but it is MA

[abstract night]

Wait can u turn of super qtes by just turning qte off? /hj?

[rain isle]

So idc too much lol

[hard meadow]

in wod team after burst end i go vita do 2 stack punch then consume the rest of stellar drain with whatever and that alr max the energy for next burst

[rain isle]

Turned off QTE leads to optimised rots, even in LoA format. Trust.

[somber egret]

Stellar Shift can still be activated even if QTE is off,
But you need it on cause QTE Entry gives extra Intensity

[abstract night]

Aw mannn itd be funny if it did lol

[abstract night]

Ofc ofc

[rain isle]

[abstract night]

That makes sense i suppose
Thanks lol

[finite nest]

Guys

Any idea whats the current player count?

[slender bone]

More than three people

[finite nest]

Is that gragas?!?!?!?!?!

[hard meadow]

about ~25k active lvl +81 players on NA and EU each, SEA and other regions idk, or lower level players

[finite nest]

Source?

[slender bone]

Beer

[hard meadow]

ingame

[finite nest]

Beeeerrrrrrrrrr

We can check that ingame? Where?

[short knoll]

took glb long enough to sold out 25k book, wont say they had 25k "active" player, and it's less now

25k is combined btw

[feral epoch]

why book, just see raffle event

[short knoll]

less accuracy since it's easier for alt to enter the raffle

and non active player too

[feral epoch]

the 60 million crystals

[short knoll]

still the same? you only need to play story for it no?

[small wing]

we beed vita QTE off?

actually quick question

if SD Kiana isn't running songque as a support, does she still outscore songque on SD bosses

[copper shale]

can

just do sena or something as leader

so sena lead double kiana

or sena badum vita

[small wing]

wow

[copper shale]

does depend tho, if u have ss sera for songque songque prob still higher

[small wing]

i ain't got that kinda money

best you're getting is S-rank teri AOP to avoid missing out

[copper shale]

for sa kiana higher either way

for the sd guaymas i saw 820s with ss sera songque

without songque theres like a 800 with s teri

[small wing]

I'm goin kiana regardless but abyss strats neat

[rustic sinew]

Can they stop sandwiching quantum valks between my target banners

[hard meadow]

dont worry they wont release another qua before 2027

[small wing]

seeing people say HSR powercreep is worse than HI3s

idk if i wanna agree or say they're right

[hard meadow]

hsr is much worse, but also it doesnt matter since its not a competitive game

[copper shale]

they not competitive tho so kinda not comparable

[hard meadow]

who cares if ppl with new character clear faster than you as long as you can still clear

[copper shale]

yup

[small wing]

no but don't you understand i need my 60 jades

[hard meadow]

but your 60 jades is tied to beating the boss in X turns

not faster than other players

[wet pollen]

no artbook

[hard meadow]

like q-manifold you beat the boss in what 90 seconds to rank up

[copper shale]

u got 2mins

[hard meadow]

doesnt matter what other ppl in your grp do

[copper shale]

next anniv surely

[hard meadow]

current abyss could be for example if you score +800 pts then you get full reward rankup etc.

but that not how it works

[pallid cosmos]

hsr meta is what clears under/in 10 cycles

[edgy drift]

So everything

[pallid cosmos]

should be, unless they crank the hp up too much

[copper shale]

its been cranking up a lot but just becuz the nature of the game is not competitive, its still more preferred than hi3 imo

competing wiht others makes powercreep feel way more oppressive

[edgy drift]

Competing is the reason we say weapons are mandatory here

If we moved the requirement to "killing the boss above 500 pts" and dropped a bracket down, there's not really any requirements atp

[small wing]

13mil HP argenti boss

[edgy drift]

The PF one ?

[copper shale]

yea

[edgy drift]

So the one that takes % HP DMG every time you kill an add

And that you don't even need to kill for max rewards

[copper shale]

mhm, still a tanky boi tho

cuz u look at the summons and they r like 400k hp and u just be like, man back then, this was the hp of a boss, but yeah nonehteless super doable for the rewrads and its not a high rquirement

[hard meadow]

if you drop to RL theres not really any requirements to retain

but, simply, its not fun

[copper shale]

vita/trio will carry me

but im in nirv this cycle so i sleep

ig thats even better

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1t5FLeUEDY/?vd_source=0c55e9eeea7f01cd7949940b979fafe9

i need someone to cook something with dudu ely + kiana idk

So which P2 valks have QTE off

[muted mauve]

Thelema.

[somber egret]

As Support:
Thelema (Always OFF)
Finality (Always OFF)
Eepy Teri (Always OFF)
Vita (ON for LoA)
Coralie (Always OFF)

[abstract night]

TERI WANTS IT OFF?

[gleaming imp]

I didn't know vita wanted qte off

I've had it on this entire time

[long forum]

I've also had it on this whole time it's a bit more tolerable with S2 in arena, at least, since she has timestop

[slate elm]

i think you should really just think about what you want from a QTE in the first place for a particular fight

i toggle between them across various valks all the time still

[abstract night]

Wish switch skills were toggleable

Im glad i didnt buy the himeko ones

I think vkes is toggleable right?

[exotic osprey]

Is there a lore reason to why Kiana got so thicc between Part 1.5 and Part 2

She did the same thing in GGZ

[hard meadow]

ate too much snacks smuggled in by klein

[exotic osprey]

Is she just a late bloomer

Or is she cheating with Finality's authority

[exotic osprey]

But she was already a fatass from before it can't be

[copper shale]

none

[junior nova]

She just gained weight, nothing too bizarre

[exotic osprey]

Smh

[still vine]

oh cool just in time for 8.1 in a couple weeks

[atomic peak]

[solar surge]

so, given: glasses make people cuter
given: Ely insists on being the cutest
therefore: Ely must have tried to wear glasses
Given: Ely is perfect
Therefore: her eyesight is perfect
Therefore: glasses would have just made everything blurry
Given: Glasses are cute, and Ely must be the cutest
Therefore: Ely put on glasses, and then bumped into everything

[still vine]

just wear fake glasses then

[solar surge]

fake? Ely is always the most genuine

[noble cobalt]

is Kiana's event outfit a skin for HoFi or Fiery Wishing Star? (the one in the dreaming event)

[still vine]

what event outfit

[noble cobalt]

the one shes wearing in the countdown to sweet dreams event

[still vine]

that's not an outfit, it's just part of the event

[noble cobalt]

Ik its not an outfit right now but i assumed it will be an outfit in a future version

[muted mauve]

If you're refering to this we don't know if it's gonna be a outfit, a battlesuit or won't ever release all together.

Nobody here has the ability to perceive the future.

[noble cobalt]

I see, but wouldn't it kind of be a fumble if they decide to not release it at all?

[still vine]

yeah but this is also hoyo, fumbling is just half of what they do

[solar surge]

nobody here has the ability to perceive the future
pfft, as if mhy aren't here, actively using the comments to make the most tragic plot going forward

uh... I mean... we all love you, Ai-Chan Senpai...

it, uh, would just be awful if everybody suddenly got 300K crystals
just awful
would hurt the player-base so, so much
so, so much emotional trauma

[gleaming imp]

I hope it’s a suit, I’m skipping new Kiana in the hopes this is a suit

[still vine]

[solar surge]

her... um... honkai reserves are more noticeable, sure
somebody on reddit did the math

but, frankly, as far as outfits go,
it just looks like another Time Runner

[gleaming imp]

I think the look is very 🛐

Idk what’s different about it but I like it a lot

[steep axle]

I think it will be a badum outfit Hair looks kinda similar more to badum than HoFin

[somber egret]

This too,
There's some situation where you wanted to squeeze some dmg to fit the rotation / to squeeze the mechanics you needed

Like in MA QUA Pig, if no S2 Thel, you want her QTE ON, so you'll easily get max Stack with QTE and evading Pig entry

On Vita for wolf for more extra dmg and no need to Ult on Phase 1

[short knoll]

should be hofi outfit, she still missing 1 free outfit

look like a free outfit too

idk why im saying so far like its gonna change

[kindred raven]

And elysia upgrade?

[kindred raven]

Like how good compared to before her

Worth skipped dudu

[junior nova]

Yes

[final locust]

oh much better than dudu i believe

[junior nova]

8.1 as a whole is way better than anything in 8.0

[kindred raven]

And elysia upgrade how does it compare with current meta

[final locust]

very good. pretty much powercreeps lantern on anything that isnt fire

[kindred raven]

Thelma?

[final locust]

but she does need ranks and wants a premium asop SS pretty bad

[kindred raven]

Anyone knows if the 8.1 beta server is open on discord yet?

[kindred raven]

Oh the new Teri ops
?

[final locust]

no

[kindred raven]

Then?

[final locust]

teri is only for LoA/vita
HoHE wants SS sera as her best or SS songque as a weaker but still very good alternative

[tranquil vale]

It's to know if some were able to register early or not

[final locust]

im confused what your question is

[fast quarry]

Are there notable ranks or is it just for stats

[final locust]

what do you mean?

[fast quarry]

Why does Ely need ranks

[final locust]

1. because almost everyone already has her ranks
2. because her ranks are insanely good

[fast quarry]

What ranks in particular

[final locust]

almost all of them

[fast quarry]

bruh

[final locust]

S1, S2, SS, SS1, SS3, and SSS iirc

[fast quarry]

Guess Im gonna starve with S0 then

[final locust]

S0 is usable in RL

well if youre in the server just look and see if its there

[tranquil vale]

I guess I'll wait tomorrow.

[final locust]

(its not)

people are already speculating that another 1 week beta is likely

[tranquil vale]

A short beta? Hmm. Possible.

[final locust]

its likely because hyv employees are on vacation for CNY until the 12th or the 13th

[slim lion]

I don't think it's open yet

as for company arrangement, I don't think it is public you sure it is not personal or something?

[final locust]

no i dont think its personal. i didnt know company arrangement info was private, i guess what ive been hearing is just speculation

but what i had been hearing here and in other servers is that most people in china are off for most/all of the CNY

[naive briar]

well if it was, don't share people's personal info
as stated national holiday is over

[final locust]

so beta could come tomorrow

[zinc gorge]

normally beta of a version comes out around the time its previous version goes glb right

[naive briar]

but what i had been hearing here and in other servers is that most people in china are off for most/all of the CNY
I have been hearing here and in other servers going back to work and Houkai Gakuen 2 literally had a back to work post 2 days ago no life

[final locust]

i dont follow HG2 news

[naive briar]

you don't have to

[final locust]

im confused

[naive briar]

about?

[final locust]

everything

[naive briar]

normally beta of a version comes out around 2 weeks before patch update

[final locust]

2 weeks before 8.1 = tomorrow

beta could possibly come tomorrow
ples

[zinc gorge]

so that means theres a chance for teaser to come out tmr and reveal to come out friday

[hard meadow]

they alr show on twitter

[tranquil vale]

Was 8.0 a 2 week beta or not?

[junior nova]

When does glb beta drop?

For 8.1

[willow pumice]

idk

if it's not today or tomorrow, then early next week

[naive briar]

[tranquil vale]

Did the previous beta last 1 or 2 weeks?

[zinc gorge]

are there any speculations yet on who our new srank's gonna be

and no sushang doesnt count

[tranquil vale]

8.2? I don't think so.

[willow pumice]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFTnUDj6mgM

sushang from hit game honk star rail

[zinc gorge]

omg is that sushang from honkai star rail

[tranquil vale]

99%

That Sushang isn't a rookie unlike the one in HSR

i swear im not schizo the title used to be v8.1

moriso explain urself

[tranquil vale]

True

[willow pumice]

[tranquil vale]

But CNY came and...

you know.

[gleaming imp]

Omg we’re getting hsr expys now

[hard meadow]

oh i never noticed she has same hair vents as helia, i guess it really is her

[neat yoke]

That's Alter Helia.

[ember locust]

Lol no Moriso explanation

[junior nova]

I really hope 8.2 is helia

[terse ravine]

Likely no

[junior nova]

Why not? I can hope

[terse ravine]

V8.1 story is Ch 7-EX, it will not tell about Alt Helia nor Helia

Maybe v8.3 or 8.4 (i can speculate here right?)

Be July patch valk, so she

[gleaming imp]

Most likely another p1 valk since p1 shill = p1 boomers swiping

[glass nacelle]

Looks like new chapter doesn't focus on helia

[abstract night]

I lokey prefer pt2 valks.

Well pt2 story

[gleaming imp]

but what about the p1 nostalgia?

[abstract night]

Eh im done with pt1 after i get aponias outfit, literally idrc about any other pt1 valk

Im missing

PE HOFI HTR SPA HC IO FOV

Htr and IO r the only ones i kinda care about

[gleaming imp]

But what about p1 cast getting new suits? Like that new Rita and tall Dudu and that sushang and the older hofin Kiana look we’ve seen recently?

What about apho Mei?

[abstract night]

I
Hate
Rita

I only see small dudu
idrc sushangs just been there.
Who?
She hasnt come out but id pull

[gleaming imp]

How could you hate a queen like Rita?

[abstract night]

Smug.

[gleaming imp]

As in she’s too smug?

[abstract night]

I hate smugness

[gleaming imp]

I mean
I can have my own opinions
Sorry lol

[gleaming imp]

But Rita looks so 🛐 with smugness

[abstract night]

another doomed yuri 20 chapter lore here we goooooo

[candid atlas]

How crucial is teriri astralop?

[terse tinsel]

Beta tmr

[rustic stump]

Yeah I’m getting sick and tired of back to back p1 battlesuits. Just give some late p1 battlesuits DK and let them act as Stellar support for p1 battlesuits ei HoFi DK, and focus on p2 characters instead

[sweet sleet]

or keep them in p1, it doesn't make too much sense to include them on p2 tbh

[glass nacelle]

do they update new song today

[sweet sleet]

wish i could understand chinese, im so excited for this new chapter

[short knoll]

[final locust]

its to cater to the people who want p1 bc a lot do

but i agree theres not enough p2
im really hoping to see a goddess sena suit, sera suit, leylah suit, chenxue suit etc but theyre just pumping out p2 p1 valks

[sweet sleet]

L3YLAHS SO PRETTY

THAT WHITE HAIR DETAIL

[rustic stump]

I don’t mind the battlesuits being playable in pt2, but I’m getting annoyed with the p1 pandering. It’s also why thr story is moving so slow currently

[sweet sleet]

i wonder if astralops can get skins...

[short knoll]

high chance

[final locust]

since 7.7 we have had at least one p1 valk in the patch i wont count 7.9 bc thats from a diff game

and 7.9 directly buffed p1 so

[rustic stump]

Exactly! Give us new characters to play with!

[short knoll]

sparkle is still a canonically p2 valk

[rustic stump]

2, possible going on 3 and a 1.5 character too

[final locust]

7.7 teri
7.8 vita hofi
7.9 sparkle buffing sirin/fov
8.0 dudu
8.1 kiana hohe teri
8.2 either sushang or helia

[unreal birch]

welcome to honkai ||xilonen||

[shrewd socket]

Entropy has it too...

[rustic stump]

The DKs are the only way certain battlesuits are viable without introducing p1 so early in p2, but yeah

[terse tinsel]

Wait what?

Real?

[sweet sleet]

i know

that's why i love her design

[terse tinsel]

I heard about new character

[sweet sleet]

can i drop pic here or is it prohibited

Spoiler tag.

[sweet sleet]

yessir

[shrewd socket]

tbf im happy that they didn't forget that they can make battlesuits for already existing characters, instead of becoming like HSR and doing it every god knows when

[rustic stump]

Wait why?

[sweet sleet]

oh but her new battlesuit looks such a downgrade....

[shrewd socket]

wrong

Badum looks great

[sweet sleet]

shorter clothing doesn't make a suit look good

[shrewd socket]

you do realize that HoFi is literally just a bodysuit

[sweet sleet]

im not sure if we're talking abt the same tho

oh forget it, it's not kiana I'm talking abt

my issue w kiana's new suit it's just that she isn't going the same vibe as raiden and bronya

her chinese look could be just a skin smh

but it's good tho

[shrewd socket]

i can't rlly complain about that

the 7.6 outfit could eventually come anyway

[sweet sleet]

yea but it would look a bit strange to the gameplay idk

[shrewd socket]

just make a purple rice cake

[shrewd socket]

it basically does?
recycles elements from pre-existing appearances (tho with Bronya is reverse)

[sweet sleet]

i meant as in a normal grown up suit, as bronya and mei are all the time

her new suit is too festive related

and now we're gonna see her like that in every new scene

[steady grail]

IS THIS MELANIN?!

IN MY HONKEKRY IMPACT?!

[shrewd socket]

bc the event is festive related?

[steady grail]

FINALLY

!

[shrewd socket]

main story is showing the 7.6 outfit anyway

[short knoll]

i have no issue with new kiana being new year themed, could be any other theme, doesnt matter to me

wont say it look good, just that festival theme doesnt bother me

[sweet sleet]

lmaoooo

[shrewd socket]

bc 8.0 event is already stated as pre-P2 prologue

[sweet sleet]

dimdimdimmmm

[shrewd socket]

and that's a problem bc???

[sweet sleet]

i like it tho, looks real good and fun

my personal opinion is just that i didn't want it to be festive

[half shard]

another version of Time Runner outfit

[steady granite]

shout out to Bronya for having an alt each and every time she switched outfits in the story

Kiana is finally catching up, good for her

[rustic stump]

Ikr?

||similar enough, more ggz character ||

[junior nova]

Oh my god.. She's so beautiful, I hope she actually gets released and it's not another jackal or Sa situation

[sweet sleet]

yes please

I'd save all my xtals for ||horn lady||

please not them wasting all this design

[terse tinsel]

or songque 2.

[sweet sleet]

yes i am

[terse tinsel]

both valk and support

[sweet sleet]

hot woman with horns i surrender

[exotic osprey]

It is what it is

[still condor]

I mean they made ugly Teri the battlesuit instead of overseer teri

So I wouldn't be surprised

[exotic osprey]

She looks like she's gonna be throwaway character No19291837

She suffers the unfortunate fate of not being Litost or Sena

And as such is probably a disposable character

[sweet sleet]

i mean

what if we get male astral ops

[exotic osprey]

Unlikely

[sweet sleet]

its possible huh

[still condor]

Kek

Maybe if they're free

[sweet sleet]

more possible than being valks

[exotic osprey]

CN players always throw a fit

Whenever any men are playable

And HI3 in particular bends over backwards for CN a lot

[sweet sleet]

fair enough

also male entropy was a disaster

[exotic osprey]

Good riddance tbh

Rest in piss John Honkai

[still condor]

I don't think a lot of people even knew he existed tbh

[sweet sleet]

the best part of hi3 was the lack of self insert mc

[exotic osprey]

There were 300000 icebergs when John Honkai was created

Now, after his death, there are 300000 icebergs

[opaque sparrow]

yes

i know i am

[exotic osprey]

I think she's hot but the skin color has nothing to do with it for me

[sweet sleet]

the lack of black ppl in these kind of games is sad tho

that's why we get so happy whenever they throw one

even if it's basically the same design like black skin and whiteish haior

[exotic osprey]

I mean I don't particularly care

It is what it is

She's hot tho

[rain isle]

YES

I literally thought of that as soon as I saw it

[sweet sleet]

im latin so

it's a huge bless

Haven't used that in a while, cute

[exotic osprey]

It's cus they're so irrelevant nowadays

[rain isle]

@sweet sleet 🍞

[exotic osprey]

Since Mihoyo refuses to make APHO3

And Carole has her 1 singular appearance in an event

[rain isle]

They exist tho. And that's the point XD

[rain isle]

Carole has been appearing in events since p1.5 lol

[exotic osprey]

Shit I've been caught

I haven't been playing every event lately

I've been slacking

Surely this means APHO3

They remember Carole exists

Surely

[rain isle]

[fervent hinge]

Do we know anything about that new story character or did bro just spawn

Spoiler tags if so

[exotic osprey]

||She's an alien along with Sena and Litost||

||Sera and Laylah are martians, those 3 aren't||

[fervent hinge]

If she ever becomes playable

[exotic osprey]

She doesn't give me the playable vibe

Imo

She gives me the boss character or Astral Op at most vibes

[rain isle]

No nervousness, moar huggos

[sweet sleet]

seele's teenager appearance together with mei and bronya all grown up bothers me too

[fervent hinge]

The chance may be low but its never 0

[sweet sleet]

agreed

not boss tho, she need more villain vibes for that

but astralop most definitely

[exotic osprey]

She might be a twist villain who knows

Mihoyo doesn't like making the villains too straight forward

And Litost is Litost

She gives me anything but playable vibes though for some reason

[main goblet]

hi, does someone know how good or bad is ely dkey is as a WoD support?

[zinc gorge]

so guys

any 8.2 beta news yet?

or tmr

[junior nova]

Marisa sent it a few hours ago

#🔮cn-gameplay-discussion message

[odd tinsel]

Ellie Dkey support buff justblike QueQue, big general buff. Might be wrong

[glass nacelle]

She can consume stellar drain fast. That's it, not much buff

[twin dune]

I m betting on 5 marisas the 8.2 valk is rozaliya!

[twin dune]

So ellie is more of a dps?

[short knoll]

yes, tho she can be a good alternative LoA support, not as bad as her WoD support

[hoary mountain]

Theres also the locked AR tag

Thats something

[glass nacelle]

many copypasta after new chapter is released kek

i can see a few more locked tag before new tag come, ely is fighting uphill battle

[slim lion]

And they'll gladly take it

Everything is bait

[grand viper]

true, save for p3

[main goblet]

so my thelema and songque teams aren't getting an update then..
i mean i guess i can still use her as a support if i need 2 teams if one of sena or vita is preoccupied

or just use her as a FWS support for now

[slim lion]

Better idea
Delete every gacha game and touch grass

[glass nacelle]

Vita is upgrade

[main goblet]

yeah

since i don't have lamp, my que and thelema team are
que, thelema, sena/vita
thelema, sena, vita
i have used thelema, que, sena/vita for some time and i don't really dig it
so yeah i suppose after getting ely's dkey my only options for her are as a FWS support and as a WoD dps
and there's the ??? ring but since there's no info about it i won't think about it for now

||here however with two origins, both Hawaiian (Nahela) and Islamic (Nahla) if i'm not wrong||

[muted mauve]

There is only 1 name. If you mean possible transliterations then there's many until mihoyo gives us a official one.

[steady pagoda]

||yes, probably, but in Arabic it always means something about water, it also means queen or lion reading around||

[cerulean badge]

Malika/maliqa should be queen

[steady pagoda]

||if i not wrong, leyhla mean night, right ?||

[cerulean badge]

Correct, as far as I'm aware

elysia is ACTUALLY dead?

thye BASICALLY confirmed it this arc tho by not showing her

yeah but like they could've broght her back

not rlly

Why?

[dry delta]

becuz yes.

And no, they couldn't.

She is dead-dead.

Mars story have nothing to do with her anyway.

No reasons to think dead character would be bring back. That's stupid.

[dry delta]

tHey've brought dead characters back before

[steady pagoda]

but we have Elysia at home

Elysia at home :

[neat yoke]

They did not.

[dry delta]

i swear they have..

[willow perch]

Elysia is as dead as a honkai character can be

[neat yoke]

No.

Resurrection is not possible in Honkai.

[willow perch]

I would've thought the entire scene of "Elysia", now just an authority of Origin, and that tea-time with Mei would've been an obvious enough symbolism, that yes, she is gone.

[edgy drift]

I know she didn't get resurrected and Otto just created a timeline where she never died. But it's a dead character that became technically not dead

[neat yoke]

No.
This wasn't parallel universe. And Otto just did some corrections in story, so Kallen wouldn't be killed.

[cerulean badge]

Ez, hote can reset the world

[neat yoke]

It doesn't mean she will resurrect everyone.

After reset different people will live on a planet.
