can prob lock it unless you really want to consider something else in mind later

but i mean if you're only going for 2% i really think these strats are overkill

this honestly is prob t100 material as lyo stated earlier

well actually idk how EU MA is like. NA is kinda in shambles lol

[frozen crypt]

EU will 100% be dogshit this cycle

In a beneficial way

Theres a lot of stupid people like me on this server who see an awkward boss lineup and either pick the wrong team or don't try cuz its awkward

[spiral badge]

47616 sounds like you ended at 4:37? I feel you can easily do better, but also you're only going for 2%.

[ancient needle]

Only a small amount of people actually cares about the leaderboard really
Maybe like 20 or so?

Other peeps just do slack runs

[spiral badge]

yeah because there isn't really any real reward to MA rankings at this point

[ancient needle]

Which are enough if you have enough experience

[frozen crypt]

I slacked, forgot my total score but I killed both SSS bosses around 15s or more and was within 1% so you'll easily get 2%

I ended up doing RS JDS HoH and Sparkle Vita HoFi and I think stevie wonder could have outscored me if I gave him my account it was bad

[chilly zealot]

How to check how many contribution i have in armada. and is there any guide to it

[sonic dirge]

39600 on 2nd

[frozen crypt]

Uh theres a leaderboard in the armads interface somewhere, not sure why you care about contribution specifically though?

[chilly zealot]

Oh just want to know about how it works because i contributed yesterday in my armada so wanted to know about what "request" does and how the prize is given

[frozen crypt]

Oh I'm thinking of the wrong thing you mean when you donate items?

[chilly zealot]

yess

[frozen crypt]

Wait I explained badly actually there's two, is it the one where u fulfil armadamates requests for frags and mirage materials etc. or the basic general materials one that lets you do like 8 daily

Either way we don't have a guide for them but I can try and explain how they work

[thick bolt]

Request sets a mission you can contribute materials to, contribution earned depends on the amount and rarity of the material (written on the request)

The saved rewards is all rng, just higher contribution means higher chance to get what you selected. It's still rng.

Last is the warehouse where you just request or donate materials for yourself specifically to earn armada creds and mats. CD and request cost depends on the mat in question

[frozen crypt]

I'm assuming its the one that has selectable prizes like dorm supply cards since u mentioned that ^

[chilly zealot]

yes where u get the creds to buy the dorm supply card

[sonic dirge]

ok we good thanks for that

[thick bolt]

You get armada creds from:

• contributing mats in the armada missions tab
• donating items in the warehouse
• doing sim battles

that's about it

[frozen crypt]

!faq ranger

[small willow]

Armada Currency

Hello, Captain!

Ranger Creds are earned from various Armada-related activities. You can spend them in the Armada Terminal shop!

Recommended purchase priority:

1. Dorm Supply Cards (Buy x2 monthly).
2. Time Swirl Passes (Mirage Store, buy x2 weekly).
3. From here, decide what you need. You can either save for Honkai Shards or buy 6/6 Phase Shifters weekly.
4. Advanced Skill Material (Very low priority).

[frozen crypt]

O that doesnt have sources

Useless here

Pls demot

[thick bolt]

^^ list of stuff to get with the creds still

[chilly zealot]

In warehouse i can request something and others can donate to me? for those ranger creds?

[covert basin]

if i have weaponless vita should i go for her weap now or try for fws and probably get her weap if i get her since i already have some pity on weapon banner

[thick bolt]

yes

[ancient needle]

You either get Badum and her weap or you skip both

[covert basin]

yeah i know

[chilly zealot]

ok and whats the difference between reqesting and submitting here?

[ancient needle]

And Vita's weap is not as necessary for her to be a good support

[covert basin]

i just mean like. since i have pity on weapon banner if i get fws i can also get her weapon

[ancient needle]

Was just concerned about the "probably" xdd
Ye, go for that

[thick bolt]

Request triggers one of those missions you can submit materials to

[covert basin]

or i can just get vitas weapon and skip fws altogether

[frozen crypt]

Maybe more context about the specifics please to be sure? Xtal count, how far away you are from valk and wep (pity number), whether you're casual etc.

[chilly zealot]

Ah alright thanks

[ancient needle]

Do you not remember venus

[frozen crypt]

I don't remember their entire account and how they play but ofc I see them around a lot lol

[covert basin]

im a casual now

[frozen crypt]

I don't even remember breaths account and bro is asking me what to pull 24/7 (ask him if you don't believe me)

[covert basin]

i have 10 left until guaranteed weapon and like 80 on valk banner

[chilly zealot]

what is universal mirage? the mode

[ancient needle]

Well, if you skip Badum you'll have less supps for the unknown AR type

[covert basin]

oh shi ill try for her then

[ancient needle]

And it should be very soon atp (not next patch)

[frozen crypt]

You can find it in the attack menu next to MA, its for farming up materials for foundry stigs and weps

[covert basin]

yeah im planning to skip next patch as of now

unless theres another vita rerun in which ill try for the weapon

[frozen crypt]

We have a guide on what to farm via mirage in the pins or I can spoonfeed the faq if you're lazy

[covert basin]

my acc lowkey bricked as fuck though since i have 3 weaponless p2 valks now

[chilly zealot]

Im assuming this category here is the start of chapter 2? . and the category's below it are all from ch 1?

[frozen crypt]

Ya seems reasonable, might want to wait just a little bit longer for any more beta changes though they seem to be making quite drastic changes with that valk in regards to her damage as I'm sure you've seen lol

[covert basin]

but 1 of them was just random carnival supply so thats not my fault

[covert basin]

yeah im sure itll probably be very different when it finally drops

[frozen crypt]

Exactly, top to bottom its part 2, part 1.5, and part 1

The tab names are way too long to type out

[chilly zealot]

alr ty

[frozen crypt]

If you are interested in the lore its not as simple as just reading the chapters in order so if you want it you can use this reading order recommendation

!faq ro

[small willow]

Recommended Read Order

[frozen crypt]

If not, same

[ancient needle]

You can check the Hoyostans reading order as well, afaik the one Lyo linked is no longer being maintained (+ Hoyostans is more complete in general afaik)

[frozen crypt]

I checked with lore channel semi recently they said its fine up until very recent p2 chapters

Which come after all the p1 stuff anyway afaik

[thick bolt]

hoyostans in general likes to throw in hg2 stuff so that's an oof
the reading order is more complete though since above doesn't have p2. It's still fine for p1

[frozen crypt]

I'm sure if it was dogshit lore profs wouldn't have it on there as a faq, they do work too xd

[covert basin]

is thel sena or song easiest for er rn

[frozen crypt]

Anyone tbh

This ER is really easy

[covert basin]

alr

[frozen crypt]

Just pick someone you actually enjoy playing or already know the signet build for rather than wasting time learning a new one

Since its cny they just decided fuck it no 30% resistance this patch

[ancient needle]

Profs? Plural?

[chilly zealot]

Is there anyone i should be pulling rn ( im level 40 )

Yo, Captain!

See the pins of beginner help for more guides!

[frozen crypt]

Keep in mind JDS already left from Carnival supply so if you still have those free tickets Thel is the better choice

[tall flax]

too sweaty

[frozen crypt]

Someone said they got her earlier, if that was you I lowkey forgot

I think this is the last carnival supply rotation anyway?

Idk man too stupid for this

[ancient needle]

Yes, it is

[haughty elbow]

im going to t50 with no trophies for like the 8th time in a row

[frozen crypt]

Clearly you're not ratting hard enough

You need to start copyright striking other peoples refs

[tall flax]

You got everyone, makes sense

[ancient needle]

The strongest rat getting 0 trophies is ironic

[ancient needle]

LMFAO

[frozen crypt]

Youtube is too distracted by adblock to care rn

[ancient needle]

Report peeps to Hoyo for uncapping

[frozen crypt]

And I'm sure you can do something on bili

[chilly zealot]

Week 3-4: MAR 7 - MAR 24❗WE ARE HERE!
Strongly consider rerolling for JDS if you want a jumpstart to the game.
Pull FWS and her wep then save.
Pulling Vita (and wep too if you have the budget) is only a consideration for whales.
Uh do i look at this on that pulling plan assuming the dates

[frozen crypt]

That is indeed why I put a big red exclamation mark there yes

[ancient needle]

Get Badum + weap and save, free pulls go on Thele

[frozen crypt]

^^

[ancient needle]

I still can't treat this as arrows

[chilly zealot]

ok ty

[frozen crypt]

I'll change the stuff regarding carnival when it actually leaves

No point updating it just to have to update it again in like 2 days

[covert basin]

is there a way to tell mid er run what difficulty its on? im nervous that i put it too low im clearing too fast

[frozen crypt]

The reroll jds line is still relevant anyway just not on carnival

[frozen crypt]

I actually don't know lol but ER is just THAT easy this version I had the same feeling

[ancient needle]

iirc yes, by leaving the run and going back in

[covert basin]

i tried that and didnt see anything but lemme look again

[frozen crypt]

I'd just stick with it if you don't want the faff, if its the wrong diff you get extra rusted insignias doing 2 runs anyway

[ancient needle]

The person that forced us to do multiple runs to max them out is a sick man

[frozen crypt]

Yeahp

I'm glad I finally have a break since they added aponia stamps, I have no reason to buy those

[covert basin]

real er sucks

[ancient needle]

Some people enjoy it

[frozen crypt]

I love it but I don't love playing it multiple times, mainly due to the sheer amount of loading screens

[covert basin]

its interesting the first. 30 times

but its kinda chorelike now

[frozen crypt]

If they took the need to load into a new floor every single time it'd be way better but eh

Lite made it a lot better at least

[covert basin]

sena has me on the edge of my seat with her lack of i frames though LOL

[frozen crypt]

Yeah god I hate sena sm

[covert basin]

and im using br w her lmao

what an odd first p2 valk

she still strong?

[ancient needle]

In ER or in general

[covert basin]

[ancient needle]

She still has her uses but she is falling off

Hello, Captain!

Despite being able to support all elements + physical, Senadina's supporting capabilities are restricted to teams of the [WS](#👶beginner-help message) and [WoD](#👶beginner-help message) Astral Ring Specializations so she is not recommended.

See the pins of beginner help for more guides!

[covert basin]

cooked

back in my day sena was the most broken shit the world had ever seen 👵

[ancient needle]

Yeah
Just keep 60 pulls in the tank (or whatever your current weap pity is) and pull the valk with the rest

[frozen crypt]

Yes, you could keep enough crystals to guarantee wep and spend excess on battlesuit supply?

[covert basin]

oh fuck i died

[ancient needle]

Thele was the real broken 👴

[frozen crypt]

O me slow

[covert basin]

oml is the restart button new

[frozen crypt]

Thele was goated

[covert basin]

thele was goated but ngl i think sena was better at the time. literally could do anything

[frozen crypt]

She's still fucking goated tbh now that HoH dkey is a thing

(DISCLAIMER THAT DOESNT MEAN SHES A GOOD PULL, DON'T)

[covert basin]

ok i just died again what the hell

fuck sena fr

[frozen crypt]

Thel bruteforced a lot more than sena did it felt like tbh

[covert basin]

alr i died again whats going on chat

[ancient needle]

Yeah, Sena was perceived as crazy support cuz we didn't have any WS DPSes and the rest were WoD

[covert basin]

the sena supp was crazier imo

[frozen crypt]

Yeah the supp was wild

[ancient needle]

Her DPS capabilities were just "good"

[covert basin]

or at least people thought it was

[frozen crypt]

I almost crippled my account because I intended to skip her in 7.3

[ancient needle]

Ainnoway

[frozen crypt]

Hoyo said no and gave her to me in 3 singles that I was spending solely for the spending event

[covert basin]

ok deadass how am i supposed to not die

[frozen crypt]

Don't use sena?

[covert basin]

idk why i chose her bruh

[frozen crypt]

You should use HoV instead

[vivid horizon]

sena lacks invulnerability frames
but in ER you should be doing enough damage not to worry about it >.>

[covert basin]

br moment

[ancient needle]

You will stay in Nirv

[covert basin]

ok finally god

[frozen crypt]

Literally bruh

Idc I'm leaving at flux tank

I have no chance

[covert basin]

arent you in eu

[frozen crypt]

Yeah

[covert basin]

freelo

[ancient needle]

Nirv is a lot more sweaty now

[frozen crypt]

Not free

[covert basin]

what.

[frozen crypt]

I skipped badum

[covert basin]

thought p2 was killing the game

[frozen crypt]

You need myriad to retain nirv these days

[covert basin]

damn

[frozen crypt]

Or at least very close

[ancient needle]

When everyone has P2 everyone is strong

[frozen crypt]

^

[covert basin]

true but i thought the game was losing enough players to make up for that

[ancient needle]

Assembling teams is a lot easier too

[frozen crypt]

Retaining flux is impossible without badum (or whale ass ranks, which I obviously do not have)

[covert basin]

yeahh

[ancient needle]

Getting less obvious atp 🗿

[frozen crypt]

Bruh how

[covert basin]

speaking of fws im pleasently surprised they went back to the battlesuit system

[frozen crypt]

I don't even have all p2 valks

[ancient needle]

Whaling up for dkeys, for example?

[frozen crypt]

Yeah its for HoV

[ancient needle]

Well, RS is for HoV as well xdd

[covert basin]

before teri i really thought they were just gonna release new characters every patch

[frozen crypt]

If I really whaled I wouldn't have had to skip FWS to get that

[spiral badge]

i don't know man https://i.imgur.com/axz4WPn.png

the nirv situation in NA is getting out of hand lol

[frozen crypt]

[spiral badge]

also you can see a case of 5th and 6th tie-ing here lol

[ancient needle]

Less peeps means that Nirv will get more sweaty actually

[spiral badge]

anyway sorry for the sudden nirv talk in beginner help

[ancient needle]

Cuz sweats stay for the most part

[spiral badge]

70th currently

[covert basin]

oh valid

[frozen crypt]

Yeah less peeps mean there's just less Nirv brackets

[covert basin]

i mean. no beginners here rn

except for me

[frozen crypt]

So you're more likely to get the hardcore sweats

[covert basin]

yeah im never touching nirv again ngl

[frozen crypt]

Cuz they spent too much time/money to quit lol

[spiral badge]

that's not really a justification to me tbh since people can lurk or get wrong conclusions on early vs late priorities

also some people are very shy or considerate that they would wait for conversations to die down before posting too

[frozen crypt]

Its not worth the effort tbh especially with the way NA is rn

[covert basin]

valid

[spiral badge]

some conversation is ok as it can lead to exploring the game but nothing too extended out of topic imo

[frozen crypt]

Yeah agree

[void mural]

ER guide for Elysia with new gear please

[lone crater]

should work the same way (at least ult build was basically the same)

[spiral badge]

check the ER guide in the pins. It's been updated with the new ely

[void mural]

Thanks.

[covert basin]

ok i won but i had to be an actual dodge god against these bosses holy

[chilly zealot]

All of this finna go over my head. But basically mirage is the farming of stigmas?

[sonic dirge]

hey what would you advise if i have all besides that elf like is ranking up better than wasting to get a 2 star elf so what would do if you had this option i can't decide and pretty sure this is last bp cycle ?

[frozen crypt]

And weapons

But its mainly for stigs yes

[lilac reef]

Good thing I didn't bother much after matching the ref I was following. No Dudu or sparkle is too cooked for me

[undone helm]

so i looked in the pins about war treasury, and it says "Unlock FR/MC (ER+Stress Test) > Meme/SK/MPE/VE/VKE/SN/HoR/6S/AKA (ER)"

FR its fallen rosemary?

[lone crater]

yes

[undone helm]

and what should i buy, character card or fragments?

[lone crater]

card

[undone helm]

k thx

and i just will ignore what happend here...

[swift wadi]

Which Valkyrie should I pick?

[ancient needle]

Ayo wtf was that

[ancient needle]

Check the first pin here

[vivid horizon]

seems like we need a mod in here

[swift wadi]

Thanks

[undone helm]

saw that as well

wtf

[haughty elbow]

wtf

[swift wadi]

Ok,It seems I cant understand anything

Ayo wtf did i just see

._.

[spiral badge]

hopefully it stops now. I've reported it

[swift wadi]

Who is it?

[lyric anvil]

[spiral badge]

let's just move on please

[swift wadi]

Yeah

[ancient needle]

Does it matter? Defo not a person that's actually active here

[ancient needle]

Anything in particular you're confused about?

[swift wadi]

Yes, Everything about it.....

[undone helm]

ok so in the radiant jade store there is anniversary pack that you can pick fragments of valk

is it ok to pick there FR?

[spiral badge]

no. I have a guide in the pins for this

[undone helm]

ok thx

[spiral badge]

the valk fragment box is arguably one of the worst options there since most things there are farmable in the War treasury shop and none of the valks are going to be competitive in the meta at this point

[swift wadi]

Oh

[undone helm]

oh ok i see

[spiral badge]

short answer, prioritize elf box, or HoRb valk if you can afford her. But don't roll more than you need to this patch trying to get something from that shop

[ancient needle]

Essentially all valks except SW are farmable from WT (they're not to actually use, the "War Treasury" pin covers that) (SW will become farmable soon as well), while the affix rerolling devices are not

[swift wadi]

SW?

[spiral badge]

silverwing bronya. In the future use the glossary in the pins to look up abbreviations

[ancient needle]

Affix rerollers matter only when you are at least in lvl 81+ Redlotus, so just keep the box for now

[undone helm]

what is it base and awakened valk? i forgot..

[spiral badge]

it's not really important nowadays. It's just that some older valks are awakened where they stem from a separate valk and share skills with them. They also have different amounts to what they need to upgrade (but everything scales to roughly the same amount)

[swift wadi]

Thank you. I'm really sorry but I stopped playing this game for a very long time ago. So Imma need a tons of information and explaination.

But thanks anyways

[spiral badge]

we understand that. just make sure to make use of the resources we direct you to as well

[ancient needle]

Are you on a new acc or on your old one?

[swift wadi]

Im on my other account

[undone helm]

im really confused with who to pick...

[spiral badge]

from what exactly?

[undone helm]

i think i should just wait for now..

[ancient needle]

And how old is it?

[swift wadi]

This one?

[undone helm]

from what to pick there. i think i will just save for herrscher of rebirth

[spiral badge]

you saw me say this earlier right?

but yeah you can wait for now especially if you're still spending crystals rolling in this patch

beware the spending event doesn't last the entire patch

make sure you keep track of its end date and to spend your annulons before it expires

[undone helm]

that i didnt saw im sorry

[spiral badge]

ok well now you do. Don't worry about it

[undone helm]

and yeah, i saw about the spending event

[spiral badge]

it does get hectic in the help channels when multiple topics are going on

[swift wadi]

I guess not that bad...

[ancient needle]

Dayum
Well, it would be best if you show your valks + weaps + stigs (purple and golden stuff is enough)

It might be better to make a new one if you're willing to

[swift wadi]

okie, please wait

[undone helm]

wow!

[ancient needle]

@spiral badge go flex your days

[spiral badge]

what why

[swift wadi]

Here's some of the valks

[ancient needle]

For Azday

[spiral badge]

1000 days is enough on its own to deserve its own kudos

[swift wadi]

Trust me, I don't know anything about them

[spiral badge]

i would be an ass to stomp all over it lol

[ancient needle]

Oh dayum, I thought that by "very long while ago" you meant like at least a year

[undone helm]

do it!

😄

[sonic dirge]

since when was thisa thing btw with discord trackign ?

[ancient needle]

Anyway, it's stacked, keep it ofc

[swift wadi]

That's when my information stopped updating.

[ancient needle]

Was added in like 7.9-8.0 iirc?

Should be 7.9

[undone helm]

should i finish the whole story of the game or jump as fast as i can to the events?

[sonic dirge]

dam wonder why they did that spying on me only noticed today

[ancient needle]

The Blood Moon event is not related to the main story at all, while the other one is mostly based on the story of another event (though it does take place in the main story, so there are some story spoilers)

[tall flax]

longest 4 minutes ever

[sonic dirge]

i know right

i had to do x2 did you do the drum jump boring way or snake ?

[ancient needle]

Defo do the Blood Moon one, and for the other it's up to you to decide

[tall flax]

the drums cause its only 2 button presses

[ancient needle]

If you've finished Part 1 story (up to Chapter 35) you're 100% gtg

[swift wadi]

Thank you

[tall flax]

space bar and I

[sonic dirge]

well thank god for lite mode otherwise would be even worse

[ancient needle]

Do they have their sig weaps btw? I hope you didn't skip them

The P2 valks I mean

[swift wadi]

let's see

I guess my Vita & Senadina need some upgrade?

[ancient needle]

Not having Vita's and Sena's is not ideal, but still pretty stacked

Don't go for them atp tho, not worth

[swift wadi]

atp?

[ancient needle]

At this point

[swift wadi]

Ah

[ancient needle]

They can use Sparkle's if it's not occupied

[quick birch]

For Sena support her weapon isnt really that impactful, for vita support it's not ideal but it works I guess

[swift wadi]

i see , thanks

[quick birch]

The valks that feel insanely clunky without weapon or loose some pretty niche features all have their weapons overall pretty nice acc

[swift wadi]

But I'm not pretty sure if I still can keep this up tho.

With my very lack of information and interest. I guess I can still play this game for fun

[lime talon]

can someone explain how i can claim anniversary rewards?

[tough raven]

so im 2/3 for these but i havent gotten the weapon yet, do i just pick the odd one out now? does it matter?

[ancient needle]

It doesn't really matter

[vivid horizon]

yes, pick the one you don't have yet

might as well

[ancient needle]

Which ones specifically?

[tough raven]

aight tyty

[sonic dirge]

hey so i asked this earlier but seem it was missed and i'm so bad at deciding what i should do with currency in this game so i don't own the physical elf on bp but would only be 2 star and i have the 4 star durandal one i have ss truth and s3 dreamweaver but can get to ss with bp pass anyway and i will show you what i mean at bad at deciding lol what would you do on bp

[lime talon]

like i saw on the app store get s rank battle suit and x10 carival battle suit etc

how to claim?

also i just started today

[ancient needle]

The battlesuit one is a login reward, gotta login for 7-8 days (idr the exact number)
The Carnival Supply pulls you should just get straight away (you might need to get to ~lvl 30 to unlock all banners and events)

[tough raven]

if i dont get badums weapon do i just save until her rerun?

[lime talon]

also any tips on who i build and use for future

[lime talon]

ah ok, i don't see any indicator on x amount of days

[ancient needle]

Check the first pin for the box, and the best pick for Carnival is Thelema

[swift wadi]

I crafted a new weapon for her now, maybe this made her better (?)

[quick birch]

Carnival unlocks at lvl 15 to be exact

[swift wadi]

But Imma leave the stigmata the way it is

[lime talon]

wait is it this

[ancient needle]

Nah, it's an upgrade material

Anyway, I suggest you just play the game for a bit for now

[twilit lion]

Where's the key?

[ancient needle]

For what to pull you can check the pins

[lime talon]

ok thx for info

[ancient needle]

This is a good general starting point for reading the pins: #👶beginner-help message
It's probs better if you play for at least a day first

[lime talon]

oh also any pulls i should not spend crystals on? im not too sure how pulls work here but ive been playing hsr recently

[haughty elbow]

u dont enter from there

there is no key

[twilit lion]

How do i swim there then?

[wintry juniper]

RU has a colour role now?

[quick birch]

Every language role has

[wintry juniper]

wait really?

[ancient needle]

What to spend crystals on is covered in the msg I linked, everything else is not considered a good idea to invest them into

[quick birch]

Yup

[wintry juniper]

oh shit

no more region colour roles

[ancient needle]

Regions still have colors lah

[quick birch]

They still exist but now language roles also have colours

[twilit lion]

Anyone know how to get the chest here?

[tough raven]

is there a priority for which to craft first? i think ill be saving for badums weapon banner if i dont hit it before it ends so what should i do? i can craft 1 rn

[ancient needle]

Well, I assume you got her from Carnival
In that case she's useful only as a support, and her supporting effects are in the 3pc

[tough raven]

sooooo

[ancient needle]

Essentially it's all or nothing

[tough raven]

aight

and im assuming thats what i do? if i dont hit badums weapon i just save for her rerun? since i got all her stigmas anyway

[ancient needle]

Her weap might not be worth getting at that point, make sure to ask again

[wintry juniper]

I muted myself tinkering with my roles

[ancient needle]

Tbh I'm not sure how important it is for support Badum

[tough raven]

really? how long should it take for her rerun? 6 months plus?

[quick birch]

Next version probably

[ancient needle]

Not even close, she might rerun next patch

[cyan dune]

Can I start playing the part 2 story with no/minimal spoilers? Cause to progress the beginner bonus checklist it wants me to play chapter one

[ancient needle]

It's likely that you'll skip the 8.2 valk, in that case grabbing her weap is very considerable

[tough raven]

might be worth getting then if i dont hit in the current run

[quick birch]

Those chapters are not connected to P1 yet later on they will but starter manual does not force you to do these

[ancient needle]

Yeah, you're gtg, just stop at the shards chapter

[cyan dune]

Ok thanks yall!

[ancient needle]

That's when P1 and P2 fully connect

[jolly pulsar]

Absolutely stupid, I finished at 11 and I would’ve retained if I was a minute earlier

[wispy aurora]

I've had 2 open every week with APHO P2 being 1 always and 1 of my choice.

But now APHO P2 isn't open by default?

[tough raven]

what am i picking from this btw

[quick birch]

Check pins

[jolly pulsar]

Yep, you get a two week free trial access

[wispy aurora]

I've had P2 open for well over a month and was doing APHO P1 as well

[jolly pulsar]

Hmm
I think for apho 2 it may be because when you hit level 20 it closes
What apho 2 adventure level are you?

[ancient needle]

APHO2 is "open" indefinitely until you unlock the actual tasks (which require stamina)

[ancient needle]

Then the 2 week countdown starts

[jolly pulsar]

Ah

Me spreading misinformation

[ancient needle]

Also Adventure level is shared between all OWs

[wispy aurora]

Like I said I've had it for like 3+ weeks doing that and others (APHO P1 and Schicksal HQ)

[ancient needle]

3+ weeks with actual tasks? That give non-APHO mats and stuff?

[wispy aurora]

Yeah

[ancient needle]

Well, either your internal clock is off or that's a recent change, cuz it's the first time I hear about that

[wispy aurora]

I take it I'm only meant to have 1 of these?

Weird cause I've done APHO P1 like 3 times or more and HQ last week

Well double Let's goooo

[tough raven]

theres no other use correct?

• theyre dups *

[mossy helm]

dupes = salvage?

[heady relic]

Correct, they are functionally useless for any other valk

[tough raven]

what am i supposed to get with these btw

[ancient needle]

Just save in the first case, you wanna prioritize actually good stamps (I don't think you have either of these valks) and the affix boxes
For the spending event it's best to assess when you're actually done pulling

[tough raven]

aight

ill just msg again before that event ends ig

[ancient needle]

Yeah, good idea

[mental coral]

I'm gonna cry

I'm 20 away from Kiana weapon this can't be real

I wasted all my luck on zzz

[tough raven]

the game made me go to 5 remaining pulls on her banner 💀

[mental coral]

Should I do story atp

I'm on chapter 17

[odd plume]

yes ofc

[chilly zealot]

Does character banner pity carry to next banner?

[sweet flax]

Depends on the banner, but the main banners (battlesuit supply and equipment supply) will carry over their pity

[chilly zealot]

What is the mode realms of battle? should i be doing it at my level

[sweet flax]

Bunch of mini game modes that rewards you with dkeys if not already obtained, dkey upgrade materials, and pri arm upgrade materials

If possible do it when it resets every week

Do keep in mind that the 5 dkeys obtainable from realms are where you'll obtain your ice fire and physical gene limits from, you still need to make pos/judah for lightning gene limit

[chilly zealot]

Uh how often do u get those tickets with white we can just do quick lite? should i be using them :/ too much or they're obtainable pretty easily

[sweet flax]

Uhhh you get them quite regularly, and so far I see my current stash of it increasing though some claim that it's slowly decreasing

Id say use it sparingly prioritising time consuming content

[chilly zealot]

i just used my tickets on quick lite the realms of battle lmao thats why was asking wondering if it was right

alr ty gotchu

[odd pecan]

am i right?
I understood that i need to wait with this box until i'll have a need for affix device or just unlock for a valk that in ER.
I didn't understand moment "your account is more established"

[sweet flax]

By more established it means that you have a good amount of valks where the decision you have to make is between fewer valks

As for the affix device, it's a relatively pointless item until later where that extra attack can help achieve a higher score in abyss

Hence using the box for valks you can't obtain at the moment or saving it incase it proves useful in the future

[chilly zealot]

what can i do as a beginner to help me on abyss :/

[prisma fiber]

Which one is Duran’s Bis?

[odd pecan]

damn,it's hard to decide. Cuz i have only 2 valks from this box at the same time i want to take one of those valks(honestly i have like 6 valks i want to take) ;-;

at the same time i have this

and i don't know what to choose from this egg

[frozen crypt]

!faq egg

[small willow]

S-Rank Valkyrie Option

Hello, Captain!

[Click here](#👶beginner-help message) to see the in-depth explanation of what to choose!

Ai-chan recommends that you keep this egg until you have two from the following: Shadow Knight, Sixth Serenade and Goushinnso Memento. When you own two, unlock the one you are still missing.

[frozen crypt]

Actually neither of these usually, Vita is kinda slow in LoA so either Badum or JDS ends up better in most scenarios

[prisma fiber]

So the usual ones are Du-Dum-Spar?

[frozen crypt]

It depends on the boss tbh

[odd pecan]

so it's just means to wait until i get any of those who in the egg

[frozen crypt]

Was it not clear

Wait until you have 2 of the 3 valkyries named there

[odd pecan]

hmmm ok :/

it's hard to hold back with egg and box ;-;

[junior knoll]

haha cat lyo

[frozen crypt]

Wat

[autumn oxide]

haha cat lyo

[frozen crypt]

Wat

[amber finch]

😆 🐈 🇱 🇾 🇴

[frozen crypt]

How did u not get cabbaged

[amber finch]

yes

[inner bronze]

best team for this abyss if no dudu?

[amber finch]

hofi dkey should be 2nd best right

or is the -50% lightning too much on the overall team dps

[frozen crypt]

good question

Maybe some HoO cooking or trio

Oh right phys weather not img

[autumn oxide]

idh trio on sea lol

[autumn oxide]

pe probs second best tbh

[amber finch]

insane

[autumn oxide]

pe hrb rs duh

[frozen crypt]

Xdddd

[amber finch]

no dudu mf

[autumn oxide]

idk cry

lowkey hoo cld still work since her core dmg is true dmg no? or am i high

[amber finch]

ig hofi dkey it is

[frozen crypt]

Gl waiting for ult cd I doubt you can oneshot it with PE in this D

[amber finch]

-50% lightning dmg tho

[autumn oxide]

anyw im hella washed dont ask me

[frozen crypt]

AF PE we are so back

[autumn oxide]

im now a valo/gta player

[amber finch]

try hofi dkey

[frozen crypt]

Ew

[autumn oxide]

i took 2 -100s in a row on sea 😔

[tough raven]

is she worth investing into?

should i make that and her stigmas?

[frozen crypt]

No

[tough raven]

aight

[frozen crypt]

You don't have the right weapon to craft solon

And this would be a waste of pri matz imo

[tough raven]

aight

[frozen crypt]

She'll still be useful in the short term at least, I imagine you have JK RC at the minimum?

[tough raven]

idk the abbreviations for these newer characters, i just have these

[frozen crypt]

The one on the far right is RC, JK is from trainkng shop for 1 ticket

[autumn oxide]

theres a glossary in the pins

[frozen crypt]

For now you can use the two on the far right with your HoH, should be pretty nice for MA

[autumn oxide]

man last abyss was so unfun

legit kia or die

[frozen crypt]

Ikr

Flux weather in general is kia or die

[lethal isle]

Just wondering if HoHE is the only one who has unique victory background

[frozen crypt]

I've -200 every single one

[frozen crypt]

I actually never noticed lol

[autumn oxide]

the rest dudu still did okish

but then last weather my dudu legit was doing worse than viuta

[frozen crypt]

Not enough to retain without giga ranks or a bracket full of single celled organisms

[autumn oxide]

im talking about rl lmao

[frozen crypt]

Oh xD

[autumn oxide]

i demoted on both my accs in rl just cos no kia

[frozen crypt]

In that case yeah

[lyric anvil]

Welp time to see how next Abyss goes

[sweet flax]

Surely jds let's me promo to nirv and not -100

[wanton canopy]

This abyss is so paper...

[frozen crypt]

Old boss

[tough raven]

so youre saying this and then replace the right one with jade knight after i get her ?

and give em f2p gear is fine?

[frozen crypt]

It was paper when PE released as well tbf

[frozen crypt]

Yes

[tough raven]

tyty

[sweet flax]

Wouldn't kira > rc if both are ungeared and unranked or is this to just help sp problems

[frozen crypt]

Depends what you are referring to as f2p gear, please don't go crafting willows for HoH lol just use scott and basic support setups

[kindred carbon]

is there anyway to get Mobius signature weapon without the banner?

[sweet flax]

No

[tough raven]

literally blue tier shit XD no extra crafting

[frozen crypt]

A Kira too painful

[lyric anvil]

Let's see if my full support team can at least retain

[frozen crypt]

||new battle pass system|| rn no

[autumn oxide]

dawei card

[frozen crypt]

LOL

Not wrong

If they do another mini spending event soon a mini dawei card would work also

[kindred carbon]

||8.2 right?||

[frozen crypt]

Ya

If ur f2p you'd be able to get it 8.3

[sweet flax]

Just use the dkey on her, no point getting her weapon (trust me on this one)

[frozen crypt]

Judah would be ok actually lol

[sweet flax]

Oath of judah is literally as good as her pri unironically

(Slightly less performance, but it's not like she can preform right now anyways )

[frozen crypt]

It was better in some scenarios

[sweet flax]

Was it? Judah players never scored higher than me, then again it's eu so what would I know

[wanton canopy]

Should i take the L if i have no physical dps this cycle? Can it be bruteforce with fws? I'm getting atleast 100-150 score difference

[sweet flax]

You'd have to try and check if anyone posted any p2 teams as a ref for brute forcing

Although i do wonder if horb dps or jds dps would preform better

[autumn oxide]

preform

[sweet flax]

Perform* my fucking bad

[lyric anvil]

Gonna attempt HoRb DPS when that comes around

[sweet flax]

Oh fuck wait if I promote I'm gonna be playing trio with no hoo gear next weather, maybe I take the L

[lyric anvil]

[sweet flax]

Surely mag typhoon and aslaug tmb good cope

[sweet flax]

can I just convert this to weapon resonance or is there any other use to old hofi weapon?

[dry python]

you pri-ed it so you can't salvage it anymore

[sweet flax]

[calm kernel]

now level it to 65 so its gold

[sweet flax]

@ancient needle this you?

[tough raven]

should i be able to clear this difficulty ? dont have her weap tho

[ancient needle]

No weap is a massive oof, but it should be doable
I'd go for 2.25 tho, 2.5 is not necessary

[junior hound]

Hello, after i get helia from the shop i should go for Coralie right?

[lone crater]

ive seen clears naked so u be fine

[abstract sequoia]

Doable and easily are two different things. Doable is even without wep on any difficulty.

That's the case for every p2 valk

[junior hound]

[abstract sequoia]

Unlock her valk from part 2 chapter 1, including her hammer

[junior hound]

Already got her, what's next

[abstract sequoia]

okay who else you got?

[junior hound]

I would rather stay quiet on this one

I was only asking about the shop priority

[abstract sequoia]

Without you cooperating, I can only point you towards the pins

[junior hound]

Thanks

[abstract sequoia]

as for stigma

[junior hound]

I pretty much have anchora from a lucky pull, and songque

[junior hound]

These names need a lecture

[wintry juniper]

[abstract sequoia]

type them in #wiki-consult with !stigmaname T/M/B and you get the description for them

[lone crater]

just click thru ur stigmata/foundry ez

[junior hound]

Yeah but I'll be crafting without knowing what this used for or where

[amber finch]

there is a link to beginner teams that you can build

[wintry juniper]

I mean, the stigma does describe it's uses, it's cheap because it only has a specific targetted use and does not cost a lot of resources to craft them.

[junior hound]

It seems that they don't give HoV and idk who else from the guide because im 4 days in, and still nothing

[junior hound]

Only thing cheap is the ones that requires purple cube

And i doubt they're useful considering it's cheap

[wintry juniper]

I mean, they got their uses

[junior hound]

I won't bother with stigmas currently, because I don't even have a valk with her wep yet

[wintry juniper]

Glutt T Musician MB is still regarded as one of the best support stigma option for any situation, specifically targetted for beginners and transitional period

[abstract sequoia]

the ones with SS Imaginon costs are also cheap, you get plenty for free from p1 Story

Gluttony T especially

[junior hound]

Yup I won't bother with this matter, it's too early anyways

[abstract sequoia]

They're mostly there for cheap support buffs rather than DPS stuff. I wouldn't disregard them entirely in your options

[junior hound]

What is RC and TA ?

[amber finch]

the glossary is in pins

[abstract sequoia]

Reverist Calico (Pardofelis) and Terminal Aide (PROMETHEUS)

[amber finch]

!faq spoonfeed

[junior hound]

Oh felis

[abstract sequoia]

just for the time being on the first kind of question

afterwards I would've referred to the glossary too

[junior hound]

Is there a place that i can get HoV?

Because apparently it's not a "2d day log in"

[abstract sequoia]

should be Starter Manual login event though

[junior hound]

Nope nothing im day 4 and didn't see her

Ill recheck

[abstract sequoia]

Go through all menus, you migjt see her

[junior hound]

The only thing that gives a free valk is the 2025 valk chest

[abstract sequoia]

if not, i'll check in a bit for you. i have an alt for that

[junior hound]

Nothing else

[ancient needle]

Do you have Starter Manual? The book in the middle of the main menu

[junior hound]

Lobby screen?

[ancient needle]

The main menu, not the lobby

The one where a valk is standing in front of you

[junior hound]

Nope

[ancient needle]

Welp, that's the reason

If you're very new I strongly suggest you make a new acc

Starter Manual is very important and helpful

[abstract sequoia]

ah so that's why

starter manual is mostly an amazing headstart for newer accounts

without it, your progression is needlessly slow

[junior hound]

This is a new acc

[odd plume]

not new if you dont have starter event

[ancient needle]

Sometimes Starter Manual just doesn't trigger for whatever reason
Or maybe you made the acc a while ago and forgot about it alr

[odd plume]

most likely that you made it before and just play it now

[ancient needle]

You can also try switching the server to NA, but ofc the reset times could be annoying in that case

[junior hound]

Nope I'm 100% sure i made the acc new a couple days ago and linked it google just to make sure it's split

Because i played the story from the beginning

When i first logged in

[abstract sequoia]

saw this happen with a few others unfortunately

say, what does the login card under ai-phone > login say?

[junior hound]

Wow what a pleasant start

[ancient needle]

It's not available until lvl 60

[abstract sequoia]

Bruh

[odd plume]

you start from this step?

[junior hound]

It must be created with a hoyo acc???

[ancient needle]

Well, not necessarily

[junior hound]

And it's called a starter manual?

[ancient needle]

Yes
It appears in the bottom middle of the main menu right after the tutorial

[junior hound]

I made two accounts, the other one did appear, but this one not

[odd plume]

should start from some kind of registerring

[junior hound]

Why even strating a new acc takes ages in this game

[odd plume]

not necessarily, but if you dont, high chance that you registerred the account before

[junior hound]

No i told you i played the story from pont 0, where i had the tutorial for kiana

[abstract sequoia]

just in case this helps I'd contact support with the steps mentioned in #how-to-contact-cs Make sure to mention your date of account creation if you remember and any other relevant details

I'd love to have this fixed

[hot wyvern]

have you ever downloaded hi3 before this

[junior hound]

Yeah at 2022 i have a lv85(capped at 80) didn't breakthrough acc

[hot wyvern]

there's a chance that you might've created the new account back then but simply just didn't do anything to it

[abstract sequoia]

check your emails for an account creation mail

[hot wyvern]

so when you login this time, it counted as a 'new' when it's actually old

[abstract sequoia]

that should be a good indicator

[junior hound]

I just did a log in, not a whole new email linkin process

[lime talon]

hey I'm new here, do i spend my carnival supply ticket? and which one do i spend it on?

[odd plume]

that doesnt matter, the problem is when you create the account with the email

[junior hound]

But the acc is totally new because as i said i played the story from the scratch so the acc wasn't made before

[lime talon]

A or B? I don't really get the differenece

[hot wyvern]

there's no chance that you might've rerolled or accidentally registered your current new account back then?

because new account will 100% get the starter manual

[abstract sequoia]

The date of the email shows when the account is considered as created though

It's a simple detail, unrelated to what you remember

[junior hound]

I didn't get any emails, because it was just a regular google-login

[odd plume]

so you just login into the game without registerring anything?

that's the problem

[junior hound]

Well yeah then why did the other acc get a starter manual even though i logged in the same way?

[odd plume]

one account reached the point when starter event start to count, one didnt

[junior hound]

Ill delete the acc and just make a whole new hoyo acc

[dark ember]

should i use the anniversary valk box + spending event frag boxes to rank up HoT to SSS or unlock+rank up IO or HoFs or someone to SS

[amber finch]

hi reika

do you have sw

[dark ember]

hi ches

yes

[hot wyvern]

better spend it on A imo and only the tickets

[amber finch]

fuck

[hot wyvern]

check pins if you haven't

[dark ember]

wdym

[odd plume]

what is your goal with that

[amber finch]

• save the box for the 23x2 device if you’re meta

• unlock a valk that’s in er + stress test if you havent owned her instead

[dark ember]

collection

[odd plume]

unless you really like those valk, just keep the box

[amber finch]

all of the valks in the box are farmable aside from sw so

[odd plume]

and use spending currency on something else

[dark ember]

alr then

[amber finch]

oh wait he’s asking abt the spending box not the 2025 box

[amber finch]

reika im sorry

[odd plume]

both

[amber finch]

literally your fault btw

[amber finch]

owh

[lime talon]

is there a diff? how do i tell which is better

[amber finch]

the difference is the valk

[dark ember]

whar

what for

[hot wyvern]

the difference is A has thelema as rate up, while B has theresa

[amber finch]

nvm apologies retaken

[lime talon]

sorry im new,

[amber finch]

what are you sorry for

im just telling you what the difference is

[odd plume]

just one can be better than the other, just can be btw

[lime talon]

thx, is one obviously better than the other

i got snowy sniper, build?

[amber finch]

both are bad without weapons and supports and both are not worth pulling for atp, just one is abit more worth it for you to use the free tickets on for the chance of you getting her

[amber finch]

ignore all the A rank valks on that banner, they’re dogshit

[junior hound]

@odd plume I made a whole new acc, what are the reset times for servers? Because im not really good at understanding GMT

[lime talon]

ok... im using b ranks lol

[odd plume]

with full gear, yes
without gear in your case, it's kinda more complicated, but you dont expect much from them, just use the ticket on thelema and wait till you can get her wp by other mean

[amber finch]

dont pull for thelema with your crystals if you dont get her btw

[lime talon]

alr thx

[hot wyvern]

which server

SEA?

[abstract sequoia]

A thing to test nonetheless, I'll try doing a google login account at some point. If this results in no starter manual I'll make a bug report

[odd plume]

#status

[junior hound]

I had to re-create a whole acc i hope it's a bug

[junior hound]

Yeah i wish i could play on sea

[autumn oxide]

@amber finch u suck tbh

[junior hound]

Resets early in my timeline

[odd plume]

just download sea client

[amber finch]

oo we have cn jp and kr now

[junior hound]

How?

[amber finch]

what the fork

[odd plume]

where you download the game?

[odd plume]

it has option to download other server

[amber finch]

mf why ce of all valks

[autumn oxide]

what other phys dpses do i hv tbh

[amber finch]

fair

[autumn oxide]

ta hrb rs was smth i dint wanna cook either

[amber finch]

you dont have song and hoh dkey?

[autumn oxide]

also idh hrb sig so crit dpses arent rly a thing

[autumn oxide]

i do?

[amber finch]

[autumn oxide]

im just tryna have fun dawg

[amber finch]

idk thought ur still meta n stuffs

[autumn oxide]

thanks for reminding me i hv sonk tho

[junior hound]

Im literally just looking at two servers option only, not downloading no nothing

[hot wyvern]

you wish you wouldn't play in SEA server

[junior hound]

Idc tbh, im not invested in the game to worry about competing anyways

I just want faster reset time

[amber finch]

if you’re using the ingame menu then you’d only see two options being na and eu

[junior hound]

Yeah

[amber finch]

you cant download cilents inside of a cilent

[junior hound]

Then how can i download a client outside a client

[amber finch]

literally just go on the official hoyo website or just use a custom launcher in #🔌technical-help pins yes its safe blah blah

[junior hound]

I thought it's just a couple in-game clicks, ill just go play on NA

Thanks for the info

[amber finch]

sea and glb are different servers so you cant cross play

[snow cedar]

So I missed free HoHu cuz i kinda took break from the game and her dkey. I have hofi and am planning on getting her dkey. I have HoTr already and her gear. I can get HoHu from the 15 dollar box in the shop but I also don't have HoO and she is also in the box as an option. Who would be better to choose? If i choose HoO for trio can I even get her wep?

[hot wyvern]

the best option is to not get anyone

[autumn oxide]

@amber finch ure bad haha

[amber finch]

https://tenor.com/view/kitty-slap-kat-slap-slap-cat-cate-gif-7906458944533086715

[amber finch]

are you sure you want to get any of them? hoo without gears is depressing even with hofi buffing her to oblivion, hoh with dkey is still niche as hell and you’d want to have thel + sena/vita to support her

15 irl dollars for a couple of pixels you barely get to see on screen aint worth it ngl

[hot wyvern]

hofi dkey isn't worth getting anymore as she's niche, hohe not worth without dkey and we don't know when is her rerun, and HoO weapon can't be acquired anywhere

[snow cedar]

I do have thel nd vita geared already. I wasn't aware she was niche I assumed oh new dkey for her she must be amazing but I guess not

[frail mason]

are the discounted beginner banners worth pulling?

[amber finch]

no

[frail mason]

||or just wait for the new sushang? ||

[amber finch]

spoiler that and we’d need more info abt it so wait

[hot wyvern]

the dkey is good, but you can't get it therefore getting her from 15 dollar box isn't worth it

[abstract sequoia]

and it was another email still?

or the same one

[junior hound]

Brand new email and linked it to a new hoyo acc made it just now

Nothing old at all both are new

[abstract sequoia]

alright good to know

will do the same then with my tests

[junior hound]

If i got Thelma or whatever her name is, should i get her wep or forgot about it? Since its a couple days before banner is over

[hot wyvern]

forget about it

you don't have time to get her weapon, nor it is worth getting

[snow cedar]

Oh wow really 😔 the only part 2 valks i have r vita, thele, sparkle, nd sleepy terri. Should I not bother for her dkey then?

[junior hound]

Ok

She's better than the other banner valk right?

[hot wyvern]

yes skip it
the problem is that dkey rerun might take forever (hofi for example, she got one in 7.8 and rerun is in 8.1)

[hot wyvern]

which? theresa?

[hot wyvern]

and by the time hofi dkey is being rerun, it's not worth it anymore

[snow cedar]

Oki hofi dkey rerun not worth

That was short lived 😭

Maybe i shouldn't of gotten her from the spending event then

[hot wyvern]

it's not that you shouldn't have gotten her

[calm kernel]

hofi dkey is still good its just not worth investment anymore

[hot wyvern]

more like you should've gotten her dkey when it's first released

but like what can you do, too late to regret, time to move on to the new valk

[snow cedar]

Yea i didn't realize how important back then

Yeeah

I did get Luna crimson vow from the returnee banner from the daily free wishes is that anything to be excited about?

[hot wyvern]

uhh no weapon no stigmata then no

[abstract sequoia]

Free ER crystals

[hot wyvern]

just the valk alone is nothing to be happy about since it'll never see any use except ER

and collection i guess

[snow cedar]

There is the returnee banner for it but old banner so scam

[abstract sequoia]

hey at least they got old HoH gear out of returnee

so it's only half as scammy

[hot wyvern]

lol

[vivid horizon]

I think hofi dkey is worth considering when it comes back next week, both for the permanent account atk and because you have vita, who needs hofi dkey to perform well as dps

[snow cedar]

Is getting the horebirth from the spending event worth? She will probably be getting dkey soon since it was the same w kiana?

[hot wyvern]

we don't know whether she will be getting dkey or not

[vivid horizon]

might as well get her if you happen to have enough currency for it
she isn't a priority like hofi was

[snow cedar]

I just want my sparkle team to be stronger 🥹

[hot wyvern]

yeah she's probably the best to get out of anything from the spending event

[snow cedar]

👌👌

[hot wyvern]

tbh I would argue that if you really want hofi dkey that much, you can go for it, since you're in NA server

as someone who plays in SEA server, backpulling is not recommended at all whatever the circumstances are, unless you don't care about abyss

my judgement might be biased because new valk is almost a must for me, even in the lower tier

[hollow tartan]

I don't get it, what will happened to the crystallums i got from this season? Cant i use them next version anymore?

Like it cannot be converted to new ones like before?

[vivid horizon]

it's always been that you can convert new to old, not old to new

next patch you can still use them in vintage shop to buy current stuff

[hollow tartan]

Okii because ive been seeing people suggesting to use them up this patch

[hot wyvern]

for the seven thunder dkey weapon I guess

[vivid horizon]

if you have enough to buy what you want now, might as well, nothing more is going to be added for the current crystallum

[hollow tartan]

Yah i got this one already😊

[snow cedar]

Yea I totally understand that. in other gachas if miss a wep I'm okay waiting for a rerun. Just feels a lot worse in this game comparatively

[hot wyvern]

yeah hsr knowledge doesn't work here

weapon is a must when they first released, and pulling for rerun is not recommended as it might brick your account if you're going competitive

[snow cedar]

Nah i don't think I'd be able to keep up competitively 😅 I play all the hoyo and kuro gachas already nd the main reason I started investing was the sparkle collab. Since I got her I don't feel like I have much other goals in the game rn other than improving on her team.

[hot wyvern]

if you want to improve her team, it's her as a support more than her as a dps

[ancient needle]

I mean, both are very feasible to do

HoFi/Badum Vita for Sparkle DPS

[hot wyvern]

yes I know, but her being support is much more frequent than her as dps for abyss lol

[ancient needle]

True, it depends on the specific goals atp

[snow cedar]

Vita would be dps if sparkle support?

[ancient needle]

Sparkle can't support Vita
Vita's support lineup is fixed (HoFi with dkey + Coralie)

[hot wyvern]

either reign solaris or fiery wishing star as dps

[ancient needle]

Or ||Sushang|| in 8.2

[snow cedar]

Oh lol

Hmm

[ancient needle]

You can do Sena/SImp DPS as well but they're harder to get and are not as good

[hot wyvern]

hofi dkey current worth is for vita dps team, herrscher trio team (but you don't have HoO weapon)

[hot wyvern]

do not get simp ever

waste of crystals

[snow cedar]

I wish I got into this game sooner 😭 I need more time to save crystals to be able to plan pulls

[odd pecan]

how many memory fragments do i need for full upgrading valk in ER?

[hot wyvern]

I think it's 1500

since the max you can get for each valk is 1500

[odd pecan]

damn,that's a lot

[hot wyvern]

it's a pain when you need to max level the weaponless and stigmaless valks lol

but crystal source is still crystal source

[vivid horizon]

for UP valk, you need 2x void after shallows
for other valks, 2 void 2 shallow
with LITE, probably faster to do first boss, go to shop, go to level after that, and quit
not sure how many that gives

[odd pecan]

yes it is, i have pardo and raven to level up from 8 to 15 :DDD

[hot wyvern]

I still need to level SIMP and coralie to 15 too

[chilly zealot]

Is there anyway i can do abyss and shud focus on a team

[hot wyvern]

uhhh not abyss with your current situation

way too low level

[thick bolt]

Q manifold at that level HoV will oneshot everything, go ham

[hot wyvern]

what level does abyss unlock at again

[chilly zealot]

I can level my character till 42

[hot wyvern]

oh

[thick bolt]

Anything below 50 is fine, above it takes too much resources to be worth rn

[chilly zealot]

So should i spend on my hov?

[thick bolt]

Try till 40

Gonna make life easier

[hot wyvern]

don't have anything else?

[chilly zealot]

as u can see no i already posted

[hot wyvern]

I thought there's still something above it lol my bad

[chilly zealot]

uh what about thiss? or shoudnt bother abt it rn

[hot wyvern]

ignore it

[chilly zealot]

what does refine do?

gives another stat ? is it like artifacts

[ancient needle]

Yes, but the impact is significantly more minor

Don't bother with them for now

Especially on copium gear

[chilly zealot]

kk

[odd plume]

only do that when you want to push endgame ranking

[dry python]

I wish it was even more minor than it is now 😔

[ancient needle]

Here's general affixing info if you're curious: #👶beginner-help message

[coral dew]

so apparently i can get 60-80 crystals for every one of Higokumarus level ups after level 10 but i dont know the amount required and the amount i can get per one task

[thick bolt]

60 crystals for each level
The levels are fine till lv 16 but scale massively in the exp requirements after level 20 taking multiple weeks.

Crystal tasks are usually 70 crystals but you can get an 80 crystal one if the mission is EX rank

[coral dew]

thank you very much

[lucid stump]

ghelp me plz

pretty sure i need ot get outside from this door on the left from the castle entrance but i dont have the key?

bro come on i didnt know u could jump down that cliff

im dead.

[tough raven]

is there a priority for levelling these? since i cant max em all out rn

[lucid stump]

im actually crashing out theres NO WAY

[thick bolt]

keep them level, prio T -> B -> M

[tough raven]

aight

[thick bolt]

The logic behind keeping them matching is that it costs 1, 2 and 4 prisms respectivly for the 35, 40 and 45 bottlenecks
If you only have 7 prisms better to have 2 at 45 and one at 40 than just 1 at 50

[tough raven]

aight

[thorn turret]

is there a guide for what to get from the bp orb shop?

[urban lake]

do you have the seven thunders of retribution sword from BP?

if no than I advise you to get it

it's a divine key and give +10 ATK universally

[thorn turret]

joined at the start of part 2 so i don't haha
thanks

[near arch]

What team can I pair for Elysia, mini durandal, Vita, songque?
I don't have songque and mini durandal weapon yet

[urban lake]

any other p2 valks?

[urban lake]

well you're gonna need vita anyway

if it's for superstring abyss than I'd recommend having either songque or dudu

I dont have her but I think vita/dudu/ely team better, I can't try out myself tho

since dont have her

[near arch]

alright

[urban lake]

I'd recommend to ask some one who knows better tho

[tropic vortex]

which one should i choose

[urban lake]

meh I'd take ether but keep the thing for now

the rest are more easily farmable

[near arch]

Okay still thanks alot, I think this might just temporary team for a month or two

[urban lake]

np, I'll help the best I can

[spiral badge]

the middle one since it can convert to the right one (via mirage shop iirc) but not vice versa

[urban lake]

hi sairaan

[spiral badge]

middle one is mainly used in exchange shop while right one is used to craft high graded/cost (G3/4) stigmatas. Neither are very notable nowadays since these are all outdated/niche stigmatas at this point.

[urban lake]

I'd still take ether fuel tho

I dont see why a newer player would want to buy stigs

for now

[sweet flax]

new player can buy ether fuel via training shop

[urban lake]

wait that existed?

[sweet flax]

yes

[urban lake]

damnit what tf was I doing back then

[sweet flax]

also technically speaking, a new player would benefit more from stigs like mei beach m and newt b as early cope stigs

[urban lake]

[urban lake]

I see u have a point but the 5-star craftable can do the job for that unless they want RL in Q-manifolds ig

or high DMG in general

Sairaan wtf are u cooking

[spiral badge]

how familiar are you with the process of part 2 team building? Would you like me to send a few indepth resources?

Without the valkyrie's signature weapon, generally don't expect them to main dps very well. In other words don't use them as a leader.

Vita main dps highly desires HoFi with her dkey. Do you have that?

Otherwise you can try HoHE dps with Vita as breach support (triggers via her ult) and either songque or durandal as supports for now.

• Possibly songque since her buffs trigger merely from QTE. I'm not familiar with durandal though but you can prob find the condition to it in her stigs 3pc effect.
• Beware HoHE's highly desires thelema for her matchups so don't expect amazing results. I don't recommend backpulling thelema at this point either. Use your roster to the best you can for now.

[sweet flax]

by that time they'd have their banner s rank and would use that + cora, last unit can use glut t beach m newt b

although technically depending on the unit, fhm mb might be better

[spiral badge]

Ether fuel is already part of the obtained rewards though. It's fuel plus either one of the two on the right of it

[urban lake]

if they experience in gacha yeah(I didn't)

[sweet flax]

skill issue

[spiral badge]

i hate that phrase lol. Becareful of saying that here

we used to have one somewhat regular person that would say that as a legit sole response to unfamiliar players and that was all they would say

[sweet flax]

ofc, just saying it as a joke towards the more experienced player

[urban lake]

well I dont realy build the old valks since my best is in P2

[spiral badge]

yeah i understand in this context

[urban lake]

well u see I have a life so it's your skill issue

[sweet flax]

who says I dont got one either

[spiral badge]

i don't

[urban lake]

I can see that

[haughty elbow]

[urban lake]

[sweet flax]

The price to pay for being a good prof

[urban lake]

seriously the man types ESSAYS per message like HOW

respect

[sweet flax]

Experience and wanting to get the whole concept in on one go

[spiral badge]

also from typing actual essays :V

[sweet flax]

well ye obviously

[spiral badge]

btw there can be very rare scenarios where a p2 valk uses old p1 gear. But this is mostly qua teri stuff

[urban lake]

WAIT THAT HAPPENS

Ok I'm a noob now wtf

why tho?

[haughty elbow]

it happens when u need teri for starless

[sweet flax]

didnt the opposite also apply? like p1 units using sena m

[spiral badge]

Mostly qua teri p1 team uses

zeno recently got added this patch to foundry. Zeno TM teri B is actually best for her p1 personal damage.

pool Mei M was used in an SSS Heim strat

Paga M and Tband M are possible picks too in abyss.

[haughty elbow]

no

[spiral badge]

that's super budget cope purposes

[haughty elbow]

sena m was never good its just cope

[urban lake]

or ER like ram

[spiral badge]

m is a hard slot to fill in early on meaningfully

and sena m gives team increased weapon elemental damage

[sweet flax]

ic

[urban lake]

uc?

[spiral badge]

anyway other cases of p2 valks using p1 gear is really just zaychik TB because of its passively refreshable uptime. Again teri and i think sena made use of this

[sweet flax]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-ok-okay-okey-nice-gif-8558857022530023115

[urban lake]

[urban lake]

I hated this anime

[spiral badge]

but anyway overall these cases are rare. Just be sure to keep in mind it's possible and something to keep a stock of resources for

[urban lake]

ok prof

[sweet flax]

good to know....

[urban lake]

I hope u hate it too

[spiral badge]

let's not digress lol

[spiral badge]

did you have a question about this? You can prob find some f2p guide on youtube. Otherwise keep in mind the rewards to this aren't high and it's permanently available. You can leave it alone for now if you're struggling badly until your account develops more later.

[urban lake]

wait this isn't off-topic LMAO

I just saw

kekfacepalm~1

[spiral badge]

it would be pretty weird if i was in #off-topic-discussion :V

[urban lake]

yeah

lol

[autumn oxide]

u alr get fuel

the choice is between reso and convection

[urban lake]

ok bo'O WatAh
