[smoky lintel]

I'm quite surprised they haven't started with aop skins yet

[steady coral]

AoP having skin doesn't sounds good for me

[main goblet]

maybe it's for the best

[steady coral]

You can only see them during astral ult and the elf menu

[desert lily]

Carv speculates they'll just make a new DS Aop

[smoky lintel]

Yeah but like people would pay just for that outfit to be on their bridge

[main goblet]

ngl as nice as her new drip is, it looks like a skin

[smoky lintel]

Like I don't really care so

[main goblet]

but new ds would be awesome

[steady coral]

Btw John DS won't be coming back?

[main goblet]

yeah same

[main goblet]

no

[steady coral]

RIP

[smoky lintel]

You can play with him if you swap to chapter 1-3 but nah

Not in future content

[steady coral]

Guess only captain our only self insert character

[main goblet]

i mean it in a sense that some cool designs may not be potential valk but aop skin

[smoky lintel]

Good I like ds as a char and their story arc has a lot of potential

[smoky lintel]

Oh yeah absolutely

Justice for cx

[main goblet]

[desert lily]

Justice for Teri

[steady coral]

Yeah DS has quite huge... Characters story in the past chapters form what I've seen

[untold tree]

Sera is a 4 word name

[main goblet]

in cn not English

[untold tree]

Yeah in cn

[main goblet]

also sera is a shortcut

[main goblet]

oh

how about the other aops? im curious

[untold tree]

I'm p sure it's just their name no?

[steady coral]

Btw is Dark DS possibly a AoP unit and not valk?

[desert lily]

Do Aop's have special cases since or?

[main goblet]

yeah and i dunno

[untold tree]

Aops don't get fancy aop names

[smoky lintel]

We have no idea

[obsidian berry]

Aop skin

[desert lily]

We still don't know what ring Youyun supports

[main goblet]

could be ditched like that one kiana fit

[untold tree]

Dreamseeker is 3 songque is 2 teri is 3 chenxue is 2 youyun is obviously 2

[main goblet]

[smoky lintel]

I mean WS seems like the obvious choice with SQ being in spending

[desert lily]

True

[smoky lintel]

Like this would very much fit hoyos logic lmao

[main goblet]

ic ic thx

[desert lily]

If that's the case, I'll probably go for JDS but I'll wait for info

[main goblet]

yeah info is soon

u don't need sq aop or jds rn

[smoky lintel]

I prob would've gone SS SQ anyway because she's pretty versatile

[main goblet]

also see ur carnival pulls

[desert lily]

I can only get S

[untold tree]

V2 starts when? A week? 2 weeks?

[smoky lintel]

Like a week

[untold tree]

Not long then...

[desert lily]

Also I'm at 280 tokens

[main goblet]

prob bc 8 week patch

[main goblet]

yeah need to wait for carnival anyways

[desert lily]

8.8 is also the same amount of weeks

8

[main goblet]

ig not as bad as 9 weeks back to back

[desert lily]

8.5 being 10

[main goblet]

but also carv suggested even longer patches in the future 😭

[desert lily]

That'll likely happen

[main goblet]

that patch gave me major burnout

but im recovering a bit

[desert lily]

I just hope I can get LV's DKey before Mobi

[smoky lintel]

I'm recovering cuz Mei is so fun on side stages

[gleaming imp]

I would love those literal f2p dream

[main goblet]

i wanna try solo mei

[desert lily]

I'm not since I'm experiencing the same thing that happened in 8.5

[main goblet]

oh my god im gonna go touch more grass

[untold tree]

The 10 week patch was kinda painful but I've adjusted to the 9 week ones and I like them now

8 week good too

[desert lily]

Fucking stingy elf

[gleaming imp]

Longer patches more funds for my asc supplies

[desert lily]

[untold tree]

Lol

[desert lily]

Asc bad

[main goblet]

im not sorry for lucksacking

[gleaming imp]

Asc good, I will be feeling elated in 6 or 5 weeks

[untold tree]

What's the numbers in your name btw

[desert lily]

Hard pitying her weapon is better than her at least, that's why I'm not happy with Elysia

[gleaming imp]

Current pulls and pulls needed to farm for, this was pre 8.7 I need to update it

[untold tree]

Ohh

That's so many pulls glgl

[main goblet]

i think 8.5 is the most pulls i have spend at once
this is coming from someone with average/to shit luck ratio

[desert lily]

I need to unlock more Valks for ER
I only have Carole and PE left to level up till I get another

[main goblet]

mei n lv love me but not horb 😔

[desert lily]

Ely wanted more since I hard pitied her

[gleaming imp]

Current shopping list is sparkle asc + weapon then paws asc + weapon then hle asc + weapon then rita asc + weapon and that's about it for now

[main goblet]

maxed the valks er level?
also did you do the other achievements?

[desert lily]

Yes

[main goblet]

also at least u have the pulls from log in

[desert lily]

I only have Carole and PE to level and get their exclusives

[main goblet]

ah damn

[smoky lintel]

I mean isn't 8.8 and 8.9 also 8 weeks, seems like their defaulting to 8 now ? Idk

[main goblet]

how about stress test?
that takes time tho....

[main goblet]

well i hope so

[desert lily]

I have those still

Those my shit kept dying

[main goblet]

but the only 8 week patches we have had since the patch extension is this and paws patch iirc

[desert lily]

Yeah

8.6 was 9 if I remember?

[main goblet]

yea

i thought one patch was gonna be 8 because another is 10
but who knows what intern is cooking

[desert lily]

7.3 was 8 weeks

[main goblet]

well the patches used to be 6 weeks back then

[desert lily]

True

[main goblet]

thete were some 7-8 week patches before part 2

probably one 9 week patch or something iirc

[desert lily]

Guessing most of those are like CNY and Anni

[main goblet]

by this i mean 8.1 and onwards

[main goblet]

yes

[desert lily]

Yeah 8.3 for some reason was 8 before going back to 9 in 8.4

[main goblet]

or 8.2 if you don't wanna count 8.1 for being a cny patch

[main goblet]

yeah

[desert lily]

Yeah those two were the same length

[main goblet]

when i knew about 8.5 being 10 i thought it was to compensate

[desert lily]

Nope

Imagine if 8.6 was actually 11 weeks

[main goblet]

🤮

1 year patch when

[desert lily]

Dear God

[obsidian berry]

1 year with 1 dk no valk

[smoky lintel]

What in the SS + 3 f2p pull

[main goblet]

[main goblet]

get new stuff and backpull ur favs

[obsidian berry]

and they give +1m to boss health every month

[desert lily]

Atp that's just 1000D

[gleaming imp]

I would unironically love a year long patch

[main goblet]

bro
lmfao

[desert lily]

Drya you crazy

[gleaming imp]

Thats so many crystals for funds for my shopping list

[main goblet]

nah trust we'll -3 every cycle because people are tired of the game

sorry fixed

[desert lily]

[main goblet]

lets get to forbidden dist

[desert lily]

Boss so squishy that we'll be overkilling

[main goblet]

letsgo 4k score finally
we can treat it like ss ma

[desert lily]

Time to use PS again against Tribunal

[main goblet]

gonna be awful because of lv dkey

hopefully you get it before then

[desert lily]

I doubt it

[obsidian berry]

💳

[desert lily]

What card can I do that with-

[gleaming imp]

Only 45 crystals? Bad luck?

[gleaming imp]

Oh right aichan got fed a lot 8.7

[desert lily]

I hard pitied Mei's weapon

[gleaming imp]

Oh that’s terrible

[desert lily]

Which tbh it's better than hard pitying HLE herself back in 8.5

[naive briar]

I 90+60+60 ed

[desert lily]

I feel bad for you

[obsidian berry]

i dont

[desert lily]

[naive briar]

[main goblet]

thx ai chan for making me lucksack
please do it more often

[desert lily]

I wish i had my 8.4 luck

[main goblet]

cora ate it up

[desert lily]

And Chen

[main goblet]

lmao

[copper shale]

could be worse, 90+60+60+60+60

[naive briar]

can I bonk you

[copper shale]

but that was my pulling anyways

[limpid glacier]

Ai chan at 40k of my crystals and left me with only 7k

💔

[bright scroll]

8+60+10

[obsidian berry]

need another 60 for aop

[smoky lintel]

Who tf only pulls aops at S

[desert lily]

[copper shale]

its alr sss

[gusty thistle]

teehee

[feral epoch]

whel

[still vine]

me

[limpid glacier]

Because of this reason I just dont pull aops 😔

[obsidian berry]

what is max score for event emblem?

[still vine]

i grabbed chenxue back with HLE because i just kinda felt like it for some reason and it felt like a pretty decent investment considering how ass she felt without it

she's also just a good generalist AOP as well

[gleaming imp]

Real, I use her with thelema and it works

And for hoh and horb

[still vine]

jokes on you, i use her on literally all 12 of my teams

uh yep, average a3 experience

and that's on my 2nd attempt with me also not even being 100% sure what i'm supposed to be doing with this character

[main goblet]

nice cn gameplay

cn eggony would be sweaty

[old zinc]

Is there no new character for 8.8 or smth, or will she be revealed later or smth

[gleaming imp]

No character just aop so far confirmed, 8.8 is a skip patch at least which will let us f2ps recover our crystals after 8.7

I'm happy since a skip patch is always good to me

[exotic snow]

hi, when does the beta info about next patch come out?

[gleaming imp]

V2 so about like 2 weeks from now on i think

[exotic snow]

so we get the info before luna DK goes

[gleaming imp]

Yes

[muted mauve]

next week

[exotic snow]

im at 0 right now

[muted mauve]

well, probably atleast.
Kinda hard to tell when in uncharted territory.

[gleaming imp]

I hope there is nothing else besides aop for 8.8

[exotic snow]

i really want Luna DK

i hope they dont release a bomb next patch

playable Tesla

[gleaming imp]

Get back in the crystal mines

[exotic snow]

that banner shares pity with the other weapon banner right?

both equipment supplies i mean

[gleaming imp]

Yes I believe

[exotic snow]

like, if i get close but dont get the DK, the weapon for next valk would be a few pulls away

[gleaming imp]

Or for next dkey which following pattern should be on 9.1 since I think that's the next big spending event patch

[exotic snow]

idk

what ver is this?

[gleaming imp]

8.7 rn, 9.1 is 4 patches away

[exotic snow]

next year

[exotic snow]

oh its 8 months now

[muted mauve]

8 months

[exotic snow]

8 weeks

[vale granite]

8 months would certainly be interesting

SS+ or demot to A3

[exotic snow]

well, ill pray next patch we only get a dancing Senti in banners so we dont have to waste

[muted mauve]

That's just to line it back up.
Last year the 6 patches took 378 days in total (2 extra weeks)

By 9.0 we are lined up.

[exotic snow]

10 weeks damn

what are they trying to line it?

[vale granite]

Where is my 11 weeks patch

[exotic snow]

why did they make the patches so long

[vale granite]

I was promised

[muted mauve]

8.4 - 24/07/2025
9.0 - 23/07/2026

[vale granite]

Budget cuts cuz lower playerbase I assume

[exotic snow]

trying to align the X.0 with Genshin?

[muted mauve]

Game not as profitable nowadays.
Lot's of team members have been moved to newer projects.

Current team is believed to be understaffed and without enough budget.

Capitalism

[exotic snow]

i mean, not like the game is earning 100k a month

[muted mauve]

but it's earning like an extimate 1/20th of it's peak

[exotic snow]

still millions afaik

[limpid glacier]

8 weeks is better than those 9 and god forbid that 10 week patch

[limpid glacier]

No. Please no

[shrewd socket]

nah 11 is odd

12

[limpid glacier]

20 weeks more neat

[exotic snow]

one year per patch

[shrewd socket]

18

[limpid glacier]

18 years

[muted mauve]

9.0-9.2 should go back to 9 and 10 week patches.

3x8w + 2x9w + 1x10w = 52w
52w = 364d

[limpid glacier]

no thank you

[shrewd socket]

18 weeks so you can separate stuff by 3 weeks

[gleaming imp]

I won

[potent forum]

waiting is the real gameplay

[ember locust]

Oh cram

[sharp bone]

did they tease 8.8 chars yet?

[desert lily]

New Aop
It's Youyun

Nothing else besides that

[sharp bone]

guess we'll never get a new P2 valk

all relegated to astral ops

[desert lily]

We still have 8.9

But yeah true-

[sharp bone]

poor Chenxue

[desert lily]

At least Songque got a battlesuit

[muted mauve]

in 7.6

[desert lily]

[sharp bone]

well Coralie and Helia count as P2

PAWS was the final P2 swan song valk before devs just gave up

[desert lily]

FDD was after paws

[feral epoch]

what's swan song valk means

[desert lily]

Idek

[still condor]

this ig

[gleaming imp]

So basically last dance

[desert lily]

That's 40% correct

[uneven loom]

no info on what BP is on next patch, right? btw does anyone know the "drip schedule" or something?

[desert lily]

I would assume next is Teri since Songque is this patch

If you mean reserve
Idk about that

[uneven loom]

as for reserve, i don't need anything else there. heck, i legit got buyers remorse when alladin became farmable. . .

[desert lily]

[uneven loom]

im just gonna wait for susannah weapon to be available in the exchange shop or something

...legit give me back 20 balls please

[desert lily]

Regular BP I'd assume ScI then

[uneven loom]

sci?

[copper shale]

sci is teri

[desert lily]

^

SI is already taken

[uneven loom]

got it. ever since p2 started, i haven't used acronyms. . .

[desert lily]

Gotta use them sometimes especially when a character has multiple battlesuits

[slate elm]

it's been nice being free from acronyms with the p2 reboot of sorts

but eventually we're kinda going back to them as more valks of that system with the same chars are released

also ty for saying ScI instead of SImp lol

[desert lily]

Lol

[naive briar]

#🔮cn-gameplay-discussion message

[slate elm]

lyo can go stand on her own hill

[naive briar]

[misty hazel]

Who is pee zipper???

Simp???

[vale granite]

Yes

You can check her outfit yourself

[desert lily]

I can see what Lyo means

[zinc gorge]

its harder to miss it tbf

[misty hazel]

Oh wow that is

[slate elm]

i'm not defending the zipper fyi. It's bad. I'm just so disgusted by it that i will stay away from it as much as possible

[still vine]

[untold marsh]

Vitas skin mech has one too iirc xD

[desert lily]

[naive briar]

Luna don't remind me and for that reason I am not collecting Vita outfit

[untold marsh]

Sorry

[obsidian berry]

[muted mauve]

Since AstralOps use the character's name, naturally there shouldn't be 2 AstralOps of the same character as they'd have to share label.

However, if a character were to take on a different name that would no longer be a issue.

Thus we reach the conclusion that Dreamseeker upgrade, if they are to take on Leylah's name like the plot seems to hint at, may remain stuck as AstralOp.

[vale granite]

Couldn't they do the same shit as they did in HSR with Dan Heng

[muted mauve]

Why must HSR always sour things

[naive briar]

[rain isle]

[muted mauve]

.
Back to what I was typing.

If they release a new ring this year so that Senadina/Dreamseeker fall under it then Senadina better have skills to let me run P2 trio.

[desert lily]

Make her GoI or LoA

[muted mauve]

it's been too long without a new ring.

[naive briar]

I have been expecting Leylah battlesuit since the debut
But I am not seeing a date for her at all.

[muted mauve]

Last one will be a year old by 8.9 time.

[naive briar]

I saw someone pointed out the last new playable "character" was Sparkle

[muted mauve]

who

[naive briar]

don't think you know that person, why

[muted mauve]

Not that who

[naive briar]

then. You

[muted mauve]

Not that who either

[still condor]

other games show off a gajillion characters so they can sell them
hi3 shows off a gajillion characters so they can ignore them and make another kiana

[muted mauve]

Anyway, that reminded me of my pet peeve of people putting Vita and Sparkle under the "part 2 original characters" umbrella

[still condor]

[naive briar]

ew

[still condor]

its actually wild to realize songque was the last time they made a new character

[desert lily]

Despite Songque already being an Aop

[vale granite]

So it was Lantern then

Well, it's a bit better if we count AOs

[still condor]

i wouldnt count AOs

[shrewd socket]

CX?

[desert lily]

Then it's Chen

[naive briar]

Based on the story not gameplay, I expected Leylah suit, big Chenxue aop, Ajita aop

Why did they have to deage Chenxue and Youyun

[muted mauve]

Songque isn't the last introduced. That's Vita (excluding certain whos)
Sonque isn't the last made in terms of new characters alltogether either (many story characters that are unreleased came out after)

[vale granite]

Well, Chen was introduced a lot earlier

idr when Sera appeared for the first time, was it actually in 7.6 or nay

[muted mauve]

7.3 livestream

[naive briar]

oh I forgot Sera lol

[shrewd socket]

7.4

[desert lily]

Rip Youyun, got thrown into Aop jail

[shrewd socket]

that isn't in-game

and silhouettes in P2CH1 don't count as proper appearances

[muted mauve]

So many arbitrary rules added on out of the sudden

:o

[noble cobalt]

has anyone tried out LV/HoHe/HoRb team

its kinda funny to use a full p1 astral ring team

[glass nacelle]

Brick team

[noble cobalt]

its not the worst thing ever in MA

[still vine]

because MA is a meme mode that doesn't matter

[desert lily]

[noble cobalt]

I mean MA gives you more overall rewards than abyss does

just because the fights are short doesnt mean it doesnt matter

[glass nacelle]

Nice meme mode

Very skill mode

[desert lily]

Abyss more crystals

[rain isle]

Both gib crystals, therefore both gud

[noble cobalt]

and war treasury will no longer be a brick shop as divine keys continue to come out

[still condor]

by the time you farm them to SS everyone else already has them SSS

[desert lily]

[limpid glacier]

Me with luna vow 💔

[desert lily]

Not like they have much of shill after they get the DKey

[limpid glacier]

I thought id get her S2 from that shop but I only got S1

[noble cobalt]

I mean still

WT will get more and more useful as more stellar keys come out

[limpid glacier]

SS is pretty

[noble cobalt]

unless you literally have every wt valk SSS in which case im not talking about you

[limpid glacier]

P2 chars in wt when

[noble cobalt]

I mean there are some bricked P2 characters but

none of them are as lost as wt valks

[limpid glacier]

I hope sena gets a dk someday

[noble cobalt]

I mean HoHe might be slightly slightly more useful than like lantern or smth

[limpid glacier]

I have her SS for some reason

[noble cobalt]

I just want Aponia dk

[limpid glacier]

Unlikely cuz paws helia

[desert lily]

Paws exists though

[still vine]

[noble cobalt]

Just make Aponia a different ring and add in a stage effect that makes it impossible for paws to outscore her

pretty easy fix

-50% melee or something

[desert lily]

Ranged?

[limpid glacier]

I think the tags still open
Bio ice
Bio fire
Quantum ice
Quantum physical
Img ice
I think im missing some

Then ig they will probaly do a type element for every different ring

[noble cobalt]

something like that

PAWS existing doesnt make Aponia dk impossible or even unlikely

[desert lily]

Ranged exists

But HLE can compete with her

[limpid glacier]

I wish they made a tag for ranged and meele i always forget who's what and who's neither

[desert lily]

That's gonna be hard to do

[smoky lintel]

The problem is that ranged/Meele isn't black and white so it wouldn't really make sense

[noble cobalt]

She'd still be able to topscore probably

Spork and SIMP compete with each other but still have their respective bosses

[smoky lintel]

Vita would have both Meele/ranged tag but would it tell me anything about what attacks are considered Meele/ranged ?

[desert lily]

Not really
Teri is better than Sparkle unless its a fire weather

[limpid glacier]

Most confusing thing in the game 💔

[noble cobalt]

Compete =/= equal

[limpid glacier]

That reminds me from the pattern terri will be in BP next patch probaly

[noble cobalt]

someone can be competition while still being objectively worse

Anyways i just really need that dk

[still condor]

how are you competition if you lose 100% of the time

[limpid glacier]

Wow vita in BP some day I never thought id see that actually

[still condor]

thats like road bump at best

[noble cobalt]

if Spork lost 100% of the time teri would topscore every quantum boss in the game including the ones that shill for sparkle

And with that logic HLE wouldn't be competition for an Aponia DK since they would just shill Aponia bosses so that she'd always topscore

[limpid glacier]

But dont you just use sprakle and terri together anyway

[noble cobalt]

or her singular boss since thats how stellar key valks work anyways

[desert lily]

A bit situational since HoRb DKey exists now

[limpid glacier]

Oh yea I forgot

[noble cobalt]

If hoyo wanted to get really crazy with it they could add in shilling for aerial valks LOL

but they dont like Aponia that much

they'd do smth like that for a Kiana or Ely suit

[desert lily]

Ely and Kiana are the favorites

[noble cobalt]

and actually HLE has aerial tag anyways so

idk just shill for ranged damage and give the boss extremely aponia shilled mechanics

[limpid glacier]

From the char outfit pattern it is possible mei will get her first 5 star outfit someday

[desert lily]

So does Badum

[noble cobalt]

transition phase requires the valkyrie to attack from off field

[desert lily]

Yeah next anni likely

[gleaming imp]

Technically horb can do that

[noble cobalt]

this hypothetical boss takes reduced melee dmg and more ranged dmg

[gleaming imp]

I see

[noble cobalt]

although idk what horb is actually classified as

[desert lily]

Both

Support form is ranged

[noble cobalt]

Anyways hoyo could get creative with the shilling

they could even make a HoV divine key and shill her into topscoring a boss

[rain isle]

Veli dkey

Or P2 red Seewe

Gib me

[rancid plank]

true. We have evil seele already for p2, good seele needs to be playable

[rain isle]

Where?

[rancid plank]

herrscher of rebirth is evil seele, the blue one

[rain isle]

confusion

[rancid plank]

Blue seele = evil seele, red seele = veliona = good seele

[rain isle]

There's no evil Seele

They both gud

[rancid plank]

Blue seele is nice but girl literally failed a time loop by repeatedly handing over a child experiment over to his torturers

and needed bronya to explain to her that it was wrong

[limpid glacier]

Lucky for you quantum ice and quantum physical r still open hopuim velli and seele suit

[rain isle]

[somber egret]

[rain isle]

I'll always cope for moar Seewes

[limpid glacier]

Lemme take some of that copuim too

[rain isle]

But rn we need moar p2 peeps too

[limpid glacier]

Yes

I see Sena suit is possible this year

But I want the non playable to get a suit

[rain isle]

Therefore I'll cope for Narhalab, Leylah, Serapeum, Goddess Sena and oldge Youyun valks too

[limpid glacier]

Naralab I really want

Old youyun and Chen

Oh and ajata

They should hosntly make event valks astral ops

[rain isle]

[quartz stream]

did they say which astral ring type the new astralop will support

[naive briar]

no

[rain isle]

Hm

Since we don't have more new rings since the last aop (Chenxue), my guess is that youyun will support one of the older ones (or even multiple idk), like WS or WoD

[prisma tartan]

what if its unique,like it will follow the most ring on the team

[steep axle]

Chat is it worth to get the blonde aop rn

[prisma tartan]

que?

[feral epoch]

no

[main goblet]

no youyun demoot to forbidden

[short knoll]

skip next AO, get 3 dkey instead

[velvet dune]

No

[limpid glacier]

My bets is on world star cuz songue op is not that great anymore plus she is given for free in spending event

[prisma tartan]

hope the next patch is not 8 weeks

[naive briar]

if 10

[magic gust]

true

[prisma tartan]

0.5

[feral epoch]

where are you, no chill

[copper shale]

[fervent hinge]

any TL for this name? I need to make a faq for the box

I'm guessing its something like New Year's S-Rank Option Box 2026

I don't have any older ones left to cross-reference

[magic gust]

新年 is new year, then after S there’s rank, 女武 female warrior 神 goddess and 宝 box 2026
自 is self, the one between S and 自 I forgot, but what you guessed is pretty much right

I was going off of Japanese knowledge, and missed some kanji, so if you want more accurate info, wait for Carv, Piyo or someone else

[fervent hinge]

np thanks, gonna see if any hoarders have last year's box because I imagine the name will be the same but 2026

[fervent hinge]

ty

I'll just assume its the same then

[magic gust]

I swear I would have remembered if it wasn’t simplified

new year free-choice S rank “female warrior goddes” (Valkyrie(?)) box 2026

[fervent hinge]

looks like they simplify it for EN then xD

[magic gust]

doesn’t have the “new year” part, yeah

[feral epoch]

Anniversary for global

[somber egret]

Yea it's the same name as 7.3 Battlesuit Selector too

[noble cobalt]

at this point

whenever we get a selector i just choose the valk most likely to get a dkey

I'd love to see one for mobius...

[crisp elk]

When did CN get v8.7?

[slate merlin]

4 weeks before us or smth like that

[noble cobalt]

I just had to sit there for a second

[uneven birch]

Is this the first tine we don't get a new character? I've been playing for years but I don't remember if they did this before.

[burnt jolt]

unless we had a dead patch i don't know about very early before 4.0, no. this is the 1st time

[uneven birch]

Is there a possibility of them announcing a character later or they already said there's no new character?

[noble cobalt]

They’re probably not going to, but who knows

[desert lily]

I mean some speculate a DKey but we'll have to see

[uneven birch]

It feels weird for them to break the pattern but at least I can save.

[muted mauve]

The only time before this was 1.3.

Unless you want to count Augment patches but I find that dumb since those reworks were basically new characters

[desert lily]

They don't count as new battlesuits to me anyways, just upgraded

[muted mauve]

Molotov Cherry is a hold atk to spin to win with a valkyrie synergy gimmick with blueberry blitz.
Fervent Tempo Delta is a valkyrie which focuses on parries to enter and maintain her enhanced normal atk state.

There's 0 overlap in animation and gameplay style. They are essentially different battlesuits.

[desert lily]

Ah

[uneven birch]

Same with the Teri one.

[main goblet]

if argument cores are considered different characters because of gameplay gimmick then how about their cost during those patches?
i have no idea how argument cores were obtained and if they got a new gear because of it

[old zinc]

FT got a pri arm of her existing weapon, Im not sure ab older releases

[muted mauve]

FTD got Pri-Arm + New Stigmata.
TP got New Weapon + New Stigmata.

Basically same cost as War Treasure valk

[old zinc]

Oh yea I forgot about TP

[main goblet]

stigs from gacha yes?

bc if so then there's a cost just not enough for regular patch

[muted mauve]

More expensive than the likes of Sirin

[feral epoch]

stigs from gacha but not worth it than craft version

[plucky cradle]

[feral epoch]

new weapon? wasn't both of the weapon already released before their pri arm

[still condor]

No, hekate was added in the same patch as TP

And the pri arm came out a decade later

[feral epoch]

you're right, sorry my mind only thinking about 4.3 patch

[glass nacelle]

Mix support time

[still vine]

[desert lily]

Damn it differs a lot here

[copper shale]

not rly
looks quite similar

the gold count column is just purely arbitrary

[glass nacelle]

Ew

[copper shale]

i predicted it

but lmao time to sleep again

[gleaming imp]

Mobs maybe kiana vita fdd will pull through

[obsidian berry]

Eww

[main goblet]

wonder if kiamei + fdd would be nice here

[copper shale]

depends on how whel rest of the bracket is

most probs get around 770 ish

[sonic wolf]

Is it the same mobs stage from last time with the 3 sd mf at the end?

[rain isle]

Nah that's SD mob stage, Songque will most likely be better for this one

That do be my guess

[sonic wolf]

Badum Fdd mei/songque probably

[smoky lintel]

Yeah should be

Just use mei's shift on the bio mobs vita used to clear out and they're dead

[desert lily]

This one is Flux

[smoky lintel]

Oh wait it's the flux SD weather

[desert lily]

damn that coralie skin looks like crap compared to the other two

[glass nacelle]

ur crap

[twin dune]

Better than default

[gleaming imp]

But I hurd mei was gonna replace vita, but they told me vita cora2 was gonna lose to mei cora2

[smoky lintel]

this is tripple SSS, S0 could be different

[gleaming imp]

I guess the reason would be mei can't just ik all the mobs fast enough compared to how fast vita gets rid of them

[steep axle]

CONGRATULATIONS CORRECT ANSWER 🎉🎉🎉 i need to stop putting hope on a coraflop costume thats not an eyesore

hey maybe if next corabad costume looks decent i might finally use her

[muted mauve]

What

[abstract night]

I like it
Its better than base

But i like the colors on base

[ember locust]

[ember locust]

☠️☠️ The default Cora Dragoon is ass... The new one is actually way better

[ember locust]

Ok now that's a strange looking team but Holy Whale

[gleaming imp]

But I hurd vita was kicked out of loa?

[muted mauve]

but this is mobs*

[still condor]

They took her shoes off for the new one 🤢

[steep axle]

ill say costume is less terrible
its still ugly tho

[ember locust]

Idc about feet, it's more like finally it's not something inappropriate

[steep axle]

its like chosing between 10 week expired milk or 5 week expired milk

[ember locust]

Not really a good example but alright

[steep axle]

i want some warm honey milk its so cold

[old zinc]

When's 8.8 beta?

[shrewd socket]

next week surely

[muted mauve]

supposedly this friday

[old zinc]

Nice

[feral epoch]

the transition is ass, got the cross but just only add up 20+

[copper shale]

[desert lily]

Nirv?

[copper shale]

yes

but like high 780 is doable

im just slivering

and the dkey is so mid

i don't have any way to add in extra dmg

can only do ult and -6

like could be at 787 or something

[desert lily]

[glass nacelle]

Ew

Double hit count stuff

[copper shale]

maybe horb is good enough who knows for top one

but the fallback option is just vita with badum lead last time

[obsidian berry]

[velvet dune]

Okay so

With how its going rn bp valk wise, Teri should be next right ?

I dont have Teris weapon

[umbral spoke]

it's only speculation for now

[velvet dune]

And i would only have enough Balls to buy her next Patch

[velvet dune]

Yeah ofc

[umbral spoke]

but if they're releasing valks in order, she's next

[velvet dune]

Would getting Teri without a weapon even be Worth it?

For Nirvana

[umbral spoke]

ehhh

[velvet dune]

I mean If they put Vita in bp i will get her SS so i need to buy at Minimum 2 stamps

[obsidian berry]

just keep her in the nursing home

[velvet dune]

Bc other Option would be to buy lamp weapon Sync 2 from bp rn

[umbral spoke]

the problem is, where would you need teri as a support?

[velvet dune]

Collection

And also Quantum weather

[umbral spoke]

and you don't have sparkle?

[velvet dune]

I do

Or would saving the Balls and get SS sparkle be better ?

But lowkey If they put sparkle then Dudu will surely follow after too

And i feel Like getting Dudu S0+1 from bp would be better since i See her a lot in Ma

So question save Balls or get Lamp weapon Sync 2

[umbral spoke]

for MA, you're cooked without dudu on kevin

[velvet dune]

I mean my Rita can get a nice Score

[umbral spoke]

yes but dudu oneshots him

[velvet dune]

The SS helps 😭

[umbral spoke]

oh

wtf

huh

what score are you getting

[velvet dune]

Like 900 something

Not max Score Like Dudu but close

But Dudu is used on the Vita Chicken and god its such a pain without

[umbral spoke]

i feel you actually

dont have her either

[velvet dune]

Hoyolab is Here to Help

[umbral spoke]

oh 920

in that case, kevin isn't a reason

i mean yes no max score but whatever

i will hate his forced gimmick mechanic until i die

[velvet dune]

Same

I guess i'll save my bp Balls then and get Dudu s0+1

Once she comes to bp

[umbral spoke]

i see more use for her than for teri

[velvet dune]

But Quantum is Quantum yk

[umbral spoke]

yeah i know

[velvet dune]

And Teri is disgustingly strong in Quantum abyss

Stole all of sporkles bosses so they had to make fire up bosses

😭

[umbral spoke]

i thought it was the other way around-

[velvet dune]

No

Teri stole deepsea Vita from sparkle

But sparkle took over Quantum pig in Ma

Bc of law

[umbral spoke]

i'm just thinking

at one point a new quantum will come

and then either of the two might become irrelevant

except they force some elemental weather

either way, weaponless teri is probably not enough to compete with those who already have her 4/4

[copper shale]

wepless anything aint real

[glass nacelle]

i mean sporke never beat teri

[dense harness]

Simp is the only Valk i miss now, i'll get her at some point, most likely in BP

[small wing]

I'm curious what's the current general opinion about the P2 story in the CN side of the fandom currently

I keep seeing this one guy in the HSR reddit who's insistent that the fanbase hates it

[noble cobalt]

As far as i know the only people who hate the P2 story that badly are disgruntled P1 fans

but the majority of P1 fans have already quit the game

I'm not on the CN side so I know you're not asking for my take but, i think the P2 story is whatever. It's not anything groundbreaking

[edgy drift]

let delulu be delulu

[muted mauve]

there was a mini-drama the other day

[small wing]

what was the drama?

from AOP only patch?

[muted mauve]

Helia mega-fan making harsh complaints about hi3 team's mistreatment of part 2.
Then people some saying that the hate should be directed to mihoyo.
And then some criticizing part 2's quality as to why it doesn't get more content.

don't really know the full story, I just saw the video and response videos on the front page and then read some comments

I'd say in general from what I've seen there's a larger percentage of old fans on the cn fanbase.
The most anticipated character for many patches that people complain about not releasing after so many patches is Seele and not any of the p2 cast.

[small wing]

ah

idk i'm still of the opinion that most of P2 has been higher quality or better than most of P1

like at worst not better than the best of P1 but at least at a pretty similar level

[muted mauve]

Not fully relevant but one thing I've noticed is that CN-story circles and EN-story circles' takeaways from story elements tend to be a tad different.

Weirdly I've only seen some of my vocal complaints being mirrored on the cn-side but not on the en-side. Like the flanderization of the part 1 and part 1.5 cast in events.

[small wing]

eh i don't think we've had particularly bad flanderization outside of like

the 3 patch long elysia event series

[small wing]

i am interest in what you mean regarding those takeaways tho

[muted mauve]

Fu Hua being treated like a technological impaired old woman.
95% of Bronya's appearances featuring either overworked dev talk or motorcicle license jokes.
100% of Kira's appearances poking fun at her singing.

stuff like that.

[small wing]

eh that's fair ig

[muted mauve]

I don't want to go into specifics. Another day.
tho it's not one side bad and one side good thing. I've agreed and disagreed with both on times.
oh and even on each sides you'll see different takes depending on platform or groups.

Anyway. There's quite a few lore ccs on the cn side that I enjoy the content of.
There's a void on that kind of content on the en side.

Too much "repeating the story" and not "what the story is telling"

I'll say Youyun is universally liked.
Why is she not a valk.

[shrewd socket]

3? it was only 2

[small wing]

the saint freya family day event was a part of that event series too

[shrewd socket]

i mean sure but that was literally more st. freya than golden courtyard

[small wing]

unironically you're gonna find more people talking about the themes of P2 on twitter than any other socials

that's prolly why i feel like i've been fine regarding people discussing P2

[ember locust]

Wasted potential fr

[small wing]

we can still pray for adult youyun

[ember locust]

The adult Youyun is kinda the same design ngl

Just diff outfit

[desert lily]

If they do Aop skins, they'd likely do that for Youyun

[gleaming imp]

Cope for songque treatment where's it aop first and then Valk so wait about 3 more patches or so

[desert lily]

[muted mauve]

@small wing Personally I think a hi3 story content creator that regularly produces high quality content and I highly respect is 无人问晓.

It's one of the few people that I've seen who not only talk about a lot of the themes in the story but also notices things that I've personally missed or can find pieces that relate to the theme where I've personally missed them.

I don't always have the same conclusion as them but I highly respect their work.

[small wing]

Wish I could speak Chinese to check em out

[small wing]

Tbh tho I think people not discussing the themes of hoyo stories is less an HI3 CC problem and more just a general issue with hoyo games in general

At least on the western side

[lavish fox]

all i see is "pt 2 story is shit" and its honestly disheartening

[plucky cradle]

[glass nacelle]

Nice rl

[somber egret]

kurowhel

[frozen cobalt]

I think youyun got more fan than songque on release

[solar surge]

songque doesn't make the silly bun-bun face
or have a giant laser cannon

[small wing]

Y'all know it's been 2 years now since we've gotten a single P2 cast event

No corelia cameos do not count

[desert lily]

Coralie and Helia

[small wing]

Yeah

Corelia

[clear vigil]

[shrewd socket]

Space Ranger

[small wing]

Ig

But I mainly mean focal events

Space ranger series was fun but it's also less than a half hour of dialogue

[rancid plank]

do we know how many prisms there are in events this patch

trying to figure out what I can afford to use upgrading old valk stigs

[muted mauve]

2 more months until that.

Fun fact. If 8.9 is not a P2 character we would be going 1y-1d without one.

As Coralie released 24/07 and 9.0 is 23/07

[abstract night]

I feel like 8.9 is sadly (in the sense that its not a pt2 unit) seele

Or maybe its not and shes just never gonna be playable lol

[small wing]

I mean if it is at least it's a character who's actively shown up in person in P2

Unlike the pink scourge

[abstract night]

Lol hi ps

P.s im a playable character

[small wing]

I know it's mean and I love Ely and everything

I just don't love more than half of 2025 being dedicated in some way to her

Like the flame chasers are dead, pls stop beating that extremely dead horse

elybad moment

[viral maple]

When the 9th anniversary frame drops in the game, I'm waiting eagerly cuz it's my first frame

[rain isle]

[limber belfry]

There is no official date yet, the next events start on the 13th and 16th, so it could appear for those .
Keep in mind that CN and "GLB" have different dates for their anniversaries. So rewards specifically linked to "dates" (like anni frame, ny emblem,...) can be difficult to deduce the "release date", so check the official announcements in-game or #hi3-twitter-feed

[desert lily]

Frame login is match 16th
I believe it's login-

Or it's the lobby

Or the event
Idfk anymore

[viral maple]

Ok...

[desert lily]

This might help a bit

[limber belfry]

found it, is on the card event, clear 3-11 (NA just now got the rest unlocked )

[viral maple]

Im from SEA, so does it apply to me??

[old zinc]

WHAT SENTI OUTFIT??

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

Now Im forced to chose between skins

[vital condor]

Helloo, next patch is not going to be a valkyrie release?

[final locust]

dont seem like it

could be but idk why they would announce asop and then valk a week or more later

[vital condor]

o m gggg

Idk whether i can pull divine key or not then...

[final locust]

u probably will be able to

no valk means -150 pulls u need to save

[vital condor]

I know, but if there is a valk it might be a probkem

[final locust]

theres probably not

they have never announced asop and then valk

[vital condor]

yeah but they have never anounced no valk neither as I can remember 😅

[final locust]

iirc there have been patches in the past that have no valk

never since p2 started tho

[vital condor]

When was no valk? I have been playing since 3.5 and i cant remember any

[final locust]

if there is going to be a valk i think it gets announced tomorrow or next week

[final locust]

like no S rank

7.1 off the top of my head

[vital condor]

Yea, there are plenty with no S ranks

but every had a valkyrie

[final locust]

so this could just be one of those

but instead of sp or a rank its just youyun

erm

thats not official content btw

[vital condor]

Thats probably cn beta, no?

[final locust]

if it was it would be in channel pins lol

[gleaming imp]

Grok Ai is getting way too advanced

[final locust]

drya wth u saving for that u need 612 pulls

[gleaming imp]

Sparkle ascension + weapon, paws ascension + weapon, HLE elysia ascension + weapon, rita ascension + weapon, then maybe mei ascension

Oh and also a possible dkey

[west fog]

Is it worth pulling Theresa new gears?

[final locust]

as in schicksal's imperative?

no

[west fog]

Sorry mean Lunar Vow

[final locust]

oh lmao

uhhh yeah if you have enough pulls and already got xdc 4/4

it was a joke

but this is leaked content

[vital condor]

Why leaked?

[prisma tartan]

is this leek?

[final locust]

...because its not officially sourced, nor is it here or anywhere in any hoyo social

Does lv like force ending frenzy early with held WA in cn?

With her dkey

[shrewd socket]

held WA is for that

[abstract night]

No like
Literally ending frenzy forcibly without your consent

[shrewd socket]

that does happen

but again held WA during frenzy is for that

[abstract night]

Yeah?

I mean like
Ur spam waing and not holding wa down, and she just says lol im tired
And ends frenzy early without u telling her to do so

[smoky lintel]

Thats just the game registering your attack as a hold WA but you're actually spamming it, for some ppl it got worse with the Dkey for some it got better dunno

[atomic coral]

that happened sometimes in part 1 too, it just happens more often now after dkey

[still condor]

it can also happen during SO if you dont have enough sp for it too

but that ones on purpose

[abstract night]

Thats different

[abstract night]

Yeah but like its kinda too often..

[abstract night]

I mean it didnt happen every single time basically tho

[still condor]

mine usually does it when it lags even the slightest amount

[nova osprey]

Really? I havent really seen it more than like, once or twice

[atomic coral]

it used to trip me up but I've managed to find the rhythm so it doesn't end early anymore

[abstract night]

Ive seen it like everytime..

[still condor]

maybe your key is sticky

[abstract night]

Fingers not keys

[magic gust]

you’re not alone, this happens to me now too and never was an issue before I could spam the button like crazy, now I have to make sure that I don’t click it too often and wait for her animation to finish

in particular the ult animation

[atomic coral]

really? cuz my fix was to mash it faster like a mario party minigame and it became more consistent

[abstract night]

Tysm

I did like one run with no issues

When i did that

[glass nacelle]

[desert lily]

s2 is fake
