hoyo is very very arbitrary with the game and logic doesn't necessarily apply for future developments

sweet flax
#

also this is assuming they plan to release a dkey soon and not put us in another dkey drought

#

you gotta weigh a lot of things

#

too much speculation that by the end of it honkai part 3 will be announced

spiral badge
#

yeah we have no real news of an upcoming dkey yet. this is all extreme speculation

#

i did entertain some speculation in my spending event guide but only as a precaution if it's already within reasonable reach

#

in this case bacon, we're paying these speculations with crystals. it's not reasonable lol

sweet flax
spiral badge
#

anyway that's just looking at all this as logically as i can put it but nothing wrong with still going for it if you got other sentimental reasons and/or understand the trade offs

horb dkey turns her quantum surely BronyaCopium

spiral badge

they should add one salty fish or w/e to the dkey menu

#

so the phrase tune your tuna can exist

sweet flax
#

I think its time you get some sleep

naive pivot
#

now that I think about it I could have the full p1 horbius with dudu since I can just buy senti stigmas HoSDerpNggt

#

at that point it would probably just be sentimental because I really like seele but have never been able to make a complete team with her since TA where SeeleDisgust

sweet flax
#

I mean sure, but how often would you be using p1 physical TeriDerp

#

and stigmata resonance if not actively being converted takes weeks to get even 1 stigma from exchange shop

naive pivot
#

i mean I've already got the reso LanternHeavyThoughts

#

it's just been sitting there for like a year LanternHeavyThoughts

sweet flax
#

its your decision how to go forward, i'd advise against it, check again with what me and sairaan mentioned earlier before making this decision

#

if you still want to go forward be prepared at least

naive pivot
#

SeeleBox 👍

spiral badge
#

i do think it can be important to pursue sentimental goals and not meta slave if you don't enjoy it

but at that point also explore if you can get your fix of that satisfaction with tutorial trial teams or some lesser team you already can build or better afford

inner bronze
#

best affixes for RS?

sweet flax

#

RS badum jds or RS vita jds better for this abyss?

i mean do either of those teams even have stun SenadinaStare

no but i dont have any better opts

i thought RS has stun. maybe review her kit

Hey is it worth it to get that Elysia skin thats out?

no matter u got her anyways
if you wanna know who to use her with, you can show ur valks

kind plank
#

where can i find these?

quick birch
#

Go to Elysian realm and click on deep sequence in the top right corner, at the moment there is an ER event so you have to press head to deep sequence in the top right corner again after that

#

Now you just have to use MPE in deep sequence while being on inferno difficulty or above

#

The signet guide in pins should have some MPE signet builds

kind plank
#

thankssss

#

i only need to do it 1 time right?

just to confirm the clear part wants u to do all the deep seq floors right RozaThink

odd plume
#

i updated the recommended build, removed SW, added hoh since beginner can buy her pack Dorysia

frozen crypt
#

But be aware HoS is in war treasury as well

#

If you want to use the box optimally you could get sw since she's not farmable or you could even get an atk affix for HoV if you want to take her that far (full atk affixes are optimal on HoV, mine is 23x6 atk)

#

HoS has the same role as HoRb, applies impair for the team

did I misinfo ElysiaNotLikeThis

young hawk
quick birch
#

her main purpose these days is LoA support in which she also functions without weapon

#

getting it now will just delay a new valk which isnt worth it imo

young hawk
#

oh okay thanks!! what about senadina

quick birch
#

senas mostly used as a WoD support in which she also functions without weapon, even if she would need it picking up her weapon now is not really something i would encourage

#

check this out for why

young hawk
#

also a lot of my old valks are 4/4 with lvl 65 priarms, currently only my vita and sparkle are 4/4 and my vita has her outfit too but im genuinely questioning whether restarting is a good option or not

thick bolt
#

just having vita and sparkle 4/4 is enough tbh, I won't suggest a restart in this case

young hawk
#

oh okay thanks! should i just focus on trying to 4/4 the next pt2 valk then

quick birch
#

i think your account is fine tbh lots of valk you can work with also just having asuka on that acc makes it extremly rare tbh

young hawk
#

okayy thank u bothh!

thick bolt
#

longer patches so depending on your crystals rn you can legitimately go for 8.2 if you have a decent amount like 25-30k at least
if the crystals are in short supply would have to skip till 8.3

young hawk
#

i only have 9k crystals rn but im 33 pulls away from the S rank

quick birch
#

how's weapon pity ?

young hawk
#

46 away

#

i haven’t touched rhe pt2 story at all if that gives crystals

thick bolt
#

I think in this case it's just waiting for 8.3 news then to decide which will be better for your account

quick birch
#

yeah would prob get sushang 1-2 weeks into the patch anyway

#

and valks teaser should be out by then

#

but it will most likely result in an 8.2 skip if im being honest HoSHmm

thick bolt
#

the longer patch lengths making me quite hesitant when recommending the wait and see approach nowadays TeriRip

quick birch
#

in general longer patches make me a bit hesitant about recommending things cuz you actually get a nice amount of crystals but best to play it safe tbh

frozen crypt
#

bleed in general is extremely shitty without a bleed valk for obvious reasons so I'd say pull if you can but yah she's not a crazy valk

still have to wait for 8.3 news

Emblems

Hi Captain! AichanWave

Emblems can be equipped on your profile. Some of them offer useful damage bonuses or increased pick-up range when you have them equipped, so it is important to know what the good ones are!

Some emblems have a limited duration, others are permanent. Abyss and ER emblem duration extends for each Abyss/ER cycle completed.

The Nirvana and Myriad Emblems offer a bonus 6 ATK when equipped as well as increased pick-up range. Stat bonuses from other Emblems are negligible.

Useful Emblems:

  • Abyss Emblems (Myriad/Nirvana/RL/Agony, Best in general).
  • Flame-Chaser Series (Best for ER).
  • Subspace Annihilator (Situationally best for Physical runs).
  • Bringer of Light (Situationally best for FoV runs where you don't want to pick up HP packs early but still need a damage emblem).

How to equip? See below!

dapper dock
#

ahhhhh ok ok

frozen crypt
#

use the highest abyss emblem you have

dapper dock
frozen crypt
#

errr no abyss emblem?

odd plume
frozen crypt
#

redlotus/agony?

frozen crypt
#

but his HoV is 4/4 would that not work

dapper dock
#

so what can i do?

odd plume
#

probably dont know how to use her RozaThink

dapper dock
#

yeah need Lyo guide

frozen crypt
odd plume
#

make sure they you at least unlocked her skill MeiBox

dapper dock
#

will do that!

#

and ELF what is the best that I can farm?

frozen crypt
#

ELFs aren't farmable easily but you can get project bunny next patch

#

and gradually upgrade it to 3* via spending events

#

again just be aware that we would typically recommend kiana elf over project bunny because kiana elf covers elemental teams but if you just want to benefit your HoV then pb is good and doesn't need 4* unlike dudu elf

#

pb is on the left NoddingAnime

#

im TeriPray that i get promote to rl this time

sweet flax
# shadow tendon whats redlotus like vs a3 vs nirvana

rl is just a skill check, the better players will promote, some weathers can be demanding with the proper teams otherwise brute forcing becomes more difficult
nirv is a BiS check as well as a skill check, if you dont have bis, and are not that good, you will demote

shadow gyro
# shadow tendon im <:TeriPray:1087276749974409256> that i get promote to rl this time

the higher the ranks the more dis and more competition
rl is a good f2p difficulty but if you have been playing for a decent amount of time and is very strategic then nirvana is possible as well
a3 is chill as long as you know what you're doing and you can easily leave it to rl
ofc new players or ppl who are still learning would stick in a3 for some time until they get to rl normally

sweet flax
#

(though generally speaking nirv alone is just a 40 crystal per week bonus 360 crystals a patch, so no worries if you cant reach it)

dapper dock
#

@frozen crypt should I change? if yes what is the kind one to pick it?

frozen crypt
#

you'd be picking bio atk

frozen crypt

new hov player in the making?

dapper dock

#

👀

frozen crypt
dapper dock
#

that?

frozen crypt
# dapper dock

yep this one

but this is from the box right? you would get way more short-term gains for HoV by getting HoS from the box, you only pick this if you want 23x6 atk on your HoV like mine to flex, the actual effect atk has is minimal

dapper dock
#

how many fragaments I will get?

frozen crypt
#

but then again these 23 atk affixes are incredibly rare and can't be obtained from WT like HoS can, depends what you want

frozen crypt
dapper dock
#

I have hos lol

frozen crypt
#

oh nono I mean you'd pick HoS from that box

#

I thought you didn't have her

#

okay

dapper dock
frozen crypt
#

I wouldn't use the box on HoV frags I'd get an atk affix instead

dapper dock
#

yeahh

frozen crypt
#

OK well since u have HoS just get bio atk affix then

#

or keep the box if you don't feel the need to go for super sweaty affixes

dapper dock
#

done tks 🙂

frozen crypt
#

also back to that F1 stage, if you haven't cleared it yet use HoV HoS TA

#

should do it ezpz

#

not sure what gear you have, can send it if you want

#

aside from the 4/4 HoV

I am at 13k or so crystals since I kinda slept on the past few weeks, wondering if I will be able to farm enough crystals to get the next valk in time.

#

I need 30k for a valk right

30k for a 75% chance yeah
this case though I'd suggest just waiting for 8.3 news before deciding whether to pull otherwise I'm inclined to say skip

# bleak stump For rn I don’t rlly wanna be competitive I kinda jus wanna collect valkyries

if youre just aiming to collect valks and dont care about abyss scores, pick whoever you want.
that being said, silverwing is the only one you cant get for "free" (farmable via War Treasury shop) so you wont be able to get her until she comes to war treasury. thats why we suggest getting her, because everyone else in the box is farmable in WT
it does take a while to farm up an AL/AW/AL+AW valk tho.

left vale
shadow gyro
#

lmao

bleak stump
#

Also, I’m almost at the guarantee should I get sparkle or mini durandal?

left vale
#

or actually i guess the pins say otherwise, people suggest to keep it
but again if you dont care about your account's progression you can just pick whoever

shadow gyro
left vale
#

higher abyss score = more crystals btw

ancient needle
#

If you absolutely want a better pick right now it's Dudu

#

But there's like 5 days left until the next patch

left vale
#

dudu is the safer option because she has a locked tag
sparkle cannot get any better than she is right now
so if you are really itching to satisfy your gambling addiction the pick is dudu
but in my personal opinion just save for sushang

bleak stump
left vale
quick birch
bleak stump
#

Oh yea I forgot about the gear 😭

ancient needle
#

Actually you should be able to afford Sushang even if you try to get Dudu rn, but it's still not recommended, also you won't be able to get Sushang on day 1

bleak stump
#

Considering gear I’ll just go for sushang

ancient needle
#

If you do decide to get Dudu make sure to keep 60 pulls in the tank so that she doesn't end up weapless

ancient needle
left vale

yeah overall i suggest just not getting dudu

shadow gyro
#

sushang would be more beneficial yeah

#

and you can use her in her own bosses and use her for longer

steel phoenix

I did not realise just hoe badly my team needed pardo

shadow gyro
bleak stump
#

For rn I have hohe and key of ego that should carry me for a while right?

shadow gyro
#

that's fine for early/mid game as well
u can also click that link for a hohe gear
unfortunately it seems you don't have her dkey? that's what she needs for endgame

bleak stump
#

Ive able to make 2 of the stigmata’s that were on that banner tho

shadow gyro
#

i see, it ok u can use her for now!
although the stigmata is mainly useless since it needs her dkey to function
but you can leave them as is for now

SI is better

left vale
#

nah SI is too gear reliant, barely any basekit buffs, i think RC should be better

ancient needle
#

TA's buffs are mostly crit-related

haughty elbow
#

isnt she bleed
if so then si would be better

left vale
#

again SI has like barely any buffs

#

and no support set to use really that i know of

bleak stump

I only have Coralie and the other a rank white haired girl you get I forgot her name,

i cant fucking read

#

yk what

#

i should go to sleep

spiral badge
left vale
#

yeah she has very very bad buffs

#

RC comes out of the box with her buffs
?% tdt on purple combo (idr how much) and more

bleak stump
#

lol

spiral badge
#

aside from actual buffs i'm not really sure how her inflicting bleed is notable as a cope support for sushang unless you need more bleed trauma

i haven't looked to see if sushang can achieve 5 stacks of bleed actually. i kinda just assumed that's the norm for any bleed focused valk/team at this point

left vale
spiral badge
#

ah ok

ancient needle
#

So it'll be 9 stacks with SI TeriDerp

#

Not that that is useful ofc

spiral badge
#

RC afaik at A rank only has the universal debuff (can be found at skill > top right for special attack > plan b)

At S rank she lets the team deal bonus damage against frozen enemies but this may not always be realistic and practical outside of ice teams
(found at skill > passive on left)

at SSS rank she gets a slight total damage bonus too but that's a bit too far to expect a beginner to reach before they stop becoming one lol
(found in skill > center sp button > last skill)

spiral badge
#

but idk

haughty elbow
ancient needle
#

VQ and SI both give +4

left vale
#

9 stacks of bleed shouldnt make too much of a difference, im not sure if 4 more stacks of bleed is worth it over actual buffing capabilities

ancient needle
#

VQ SI CE and you get the juicy 13

#

Yeah, ofc

spiral badge
#

hm ok somehow i never noticed

#

prob because i skipped vq stuff lol

bleak stump
#

By SI do yall mean starry impression?

ancient needle
#

Yes

spiral badge
#

yes

bleak stump
#

Think that was the name

ancient needle
#

Yes

bleak stump
#

Ok thanks

left vale
#

RCs buffs
in comparison to SI i definitely think she would be better
she also has a faster rotation

spiral badge
#

RC is also more useful in other ways if you're new

left vale
#

yeah

spiral badge
#

i don't think double scratch 3 sp is worth noting though lol

bleak stump
left vale
#

as for set options she can probably use like TeriO or smth

ancient needle
left vale
#

could use gustav as well

spiral badge
#

maybe gluttony T and FHM MB/Ogier B since her cat can retrigger the former off field if it isn't already on someone else

#

uh do they already have gustav?

#

if not then i wouldn't recommend going out of their way to make it

left vale
#

oh shit why are G2s 900 ether fuel

spiral badge
#

lol

#

new players are prob low on ether fuel too which they would want for crafting new valk p2 stigs if unlucky enough, or maybe even cora stigs

left vale
#

could try glut T picasso MB but picasso is inconsistent asf

spiral badge
#

anyway another thing to note is that RC has her primary benefits at A rank as mentioned earlier

SI by contrast wants at least S rank so she can restore sp more sustainably to ult regularly (which again shares her mixing buff)

#

i do think cora and RC on the same team may stack too much total damage buff and debuffs that TA (who is also widely useful early on) may be worth considering
but ofc as said earlier part of TA's benefits are lost on sushang's bleed

left vale
#

wow there are like absolutely 0 good beginner stigs that give tdt/pdt

#

does tsiol set stack?

ancient needle
#

I mean, you can't really be throwing around Prisms either

left vale
#

yeah thats true

#

glut T fhm MB should suffice then

spiral badge
left vale
#

picasso MB could theoretically be better but its RNG

spiral badge
#

it's not really rng

#

but for SI's purposes she doesn't spend enough time to trigger it if you're going through her actions asap

quick birch
#

short question about the bleed stacking, yall were talking about actual stacking not just refreshing the same stack over and over again ? if yes sushang cant stack bleed at all or am i having the third brainfart this hour

left vale
#

oh you need picasso T to even have red paint dont you TeriDerpMelon

spiral badge
#

yeah picasso TM i want to say are preferred

left vale
#

then u cant use glut

#

yeah glut T fhm MB then
probably best

spiral badge
#

from PS herself at least

left vale
#

? im pretty confident she can 5 stack bleed by herself, unless u mean smth else

spiral badge
#

in most normal cases the bleed status is capped at 1

left vale
#

hmm

spiral badge
#

but some valks like VQ SI CE can increase the cap

#

that is from a beta v3 video btw

#

i should look up a live cn one

quick birch
#

yeah i was a bit confused about the 5 stacks since i played a lot of beta in the last few days and never noticed it DoroV

spiral badge
#

i never looked into how the stacked bleed DoT damage works either at this point. Initially I was told the damage is sourced from SI herself, but when VQ came along and had her own, the situation got messier

#

so even if SI can give more stacks of bleed to PS, i don't know if it's going to multiply PS' existing bleed DoT damage or is it just going be 1x PS DoT and the rest are from SI

#

and overall PS' bleed DoT is only a portion and not the majority of her overall damage

#

but anyway enough of this explorative tangent from me. i think the recommendation will still be any of TA/RC/Cora overall since they are useful in other ways.

Hello, Captain! AichanWave

Also check out the Divine Key explanation pin [here](#👶beginner-help message) if anything mentioned (such as "gene limit") is confusing/unknown to you.

In the long run it doesn't matter, but the ideal order is:
1 - Grips of Tai Xuan (gloves, cope glove weapon and ice gene limit).
2 - Cleaver/Judgement of Shamash (guns/greatsword, need both to sync for +10 attack and fire gene limit).
3 - Jizo Mitama (katana, phys gene limit attached to it).
4 - Star of Eden (cannon, has no attached gene limit it just exists).

oh 😭

young hawk
left vale
# young hawk are any of my current valks still useful (majority of pt1 valks are 4/4) as for ...

HoRb has been historically very strong in MA, and the same can be said for VQ, TA, RC, CE, SI, and SnS (keep in mind a majority of those listed are best in SS MA rather than SSS)
GD is still finding uses surprisingly. iirc she's used on starless bull, para sus, and starless bena alongside LV, SImp, HoO, and HoFi
i also dont see why your coralie isnt 4/4 but thats more me nitpicking than anything else
so, to answer your question, yes, a bunch of your valks are still good. just a majority of them have been relegated to MA only atp

#

IO also technically still has 1 boss but it's only ran once and there's no guarantee that it'll ever run again. she would also need to be SSS to beat HoO there to my knowledge, as well as needing LV and SImp

#

and MPE does pretty well on starless SK

only professors and mods can use the ai chan bot. Otherwise you can refer to pins for common FAQs including a list of commands. While you cannot use a command directly, you can discord search for past use cases of the same command.

The bunny bot is for pulling up other kinds of descriptions like stigmatas. You can use it in #wiki-consult and not here.

check the pins for once time crystal, other than that, you just play the game daily

#

yeah there isn't really a f2p method in particular. It's just seeing and getting all sources you reasonably can

#

hm the faq here didn't state it but my spreadsheet concerns limited time crystals that may be missable

#

so prioritize those first

#

if you really want a slimmed down summary that covers most of the regular income, make sure you keep up with the following

  • abyss (resets mon and thurs)
  • elysian realm deep sequence (resets weekly)

there's other sources but those are the main ones. If i have to list any further then try to get logins/dailies/and memorial arena clears as well

#

and you can find more in the sheet

#

if you're new then some of these may not be unlocked yet. Check out pins for account progression pointers to see at what level you unlock new features

dire bloom

Thanks!
Captain level 76, but also don't know what I'm doing/played every mode. Just recently unlocked/started playing Elysian Realm for example.

spiral badge
#

feel free to ask if you want additional pointers esp if you have anything more specific

#

we generally default to long term meta (focused on abyss) advice here since that nets you more crystals but we can help for non meta advice too. just be clear what your goals are

#

i can't stick around any further though so someone else will have to help if you do have more questions

quick birch
# lunar dew WHY DID SOMEONE TELL ME 2 PATCHES?!

shill is a period of time where the valk is favored in abyss, that one is 2-3 patches long most of the time. For example dudu had many bosses this patch because her shill is still there since she released last version ( and she got a rerun )

okay so second question.
Are old valks still somewhat playable in some game modes or after the 2 years they just come off as unusable

storm lantern
#

yeah theres not really any character that can make your account good by itself, even this patch a lot of bosses are not fws's

amber finch
#

remember when hoyo randomly decided to shill phys for like 4-5 patchesSenadinaStare

sweet flax
storm lantern
#

they do different things

#

especially new sushang

sweet flax
#

Relatively older valks still have use but demand high investment to be on par or worse than newer options

otherwise depends on the valk
