Hi

[proper quiver]

What team should I do for this abyss

[abstract sequoia]

actually you might want to do sena/vbs/fws here if you can fill the paralyze trauma with just vbs weapon skill

[sweet flax]

is it lightnign or para weather

[proper quiver]

Melee

[abstract sequoia]

it's melee, but sampo has a transition that can end early with para trauma

the hat thing

[sweet flax]

ye

[shell basin]

It’s gonna be painful anyway

Everyone with paws will outscore you a ton

[abstract sequoia]

important to note: only WA with bar not full applies the paralyze bomb

[shell basin]

The cope para guns aren’t remotely enough for sampo transition right? So you can’t put them on Badum and replace VBS

Even if you have them

Oh yeah and Badum would be your only better dps anyway, nevermind

No point

[abstract sequoia]

you mean fenghuang pinions?

6(8) vs 18 trauma

idt it's enough

[shell basin]

I think I was thinking Eden’s but idt they’d be enough either

And it wouldn’t get you that much anyway since you’d still be using Sena dps

[sweet flax]

not enough

[abstract sequoia]

their account is too new to prioritize getting that

even if it works

[sweet flax]

vbs seems to be the only shout tbh, I was also thinking of running a team with vbs in it to cope

[shell basin]

Yeah true on both counts

[sweet flax]

only issue is you can apply para trauma every 9 seconds

I always slept on sampo so I dont know if that's enough or not

[shell basin]

Tbh I think the play is to just hope not enough players have paws

And everyone else without paws skill issues

If 10 people have paws it’s hopeless even if they can’t play

[abstract sequoia]

i'm still in redlotus this cycle

[sweet flax]

im hopeful (even though in nirv) but horb vbs lp seems to be an angle for me

[abstract sequoia]

i can try how far I'm getting with it

@proper quiver you don't have vbs weapon right?

[shell basin]

Good luck

[proper quiver]

No

[abstract sequoia]

okay good

i mean not good

[sweet flax]

you dont loose much from having it or not

[abstract sequoia]

but i can use the second best thing

[sweet flax]

oh wait is he running dsa dps?

[abstract sequoia]

yes

[sweet flax]

gg

[abstract sequoia]

that was the plan

[proper quiver]

Gulp

[abstract sequoia]

i have ta-da max with syn 3

so i guess i can tell you how far i can get with that

wait no

okay forget it, i forgot i don't have sena

[sweet flax]

[proper quiver]

The Side nodes are taking forever

[abstract sequoia]

who are you using

[sweet flax]

id test it on my side but.... I have a slight weapon issue regarding sena

[abstract sequoia]

the suggested team?

[proper quiver]

Sena horb vbs

[abstract sequoia]

hm okay

can you try horb/sena/fws?

should perform better

or hle instead of sena

since she has more resonance triggers

[proper quiver]

Ok I’ll try while doing the nodes

[kind cliff]

what should you use balls on?

[sweet flax]

assuming you mean bp balls, on the dkeys

!faq balls

Immutable Crystallums

Hey there, Captain!

Crystallums are a Battle Pass Currency that can be exchanged for Valkyries and Equipment in the Reserve Works. Captains who purchase Knight or Paladin BP can also access the BP Works of that patch for 3 versions.

There are 3 BP tiers offering different amounts of Crystallums as follows:
-# The totals below account for the 2 Crystallums in the Dorm Shop.

• Vanguard (F2P) BP: 5 per patch
• Knight BP: 18 per patch
• Paladin BP: 24 per patch

It is recommended to spend your Crystallums on Divine Keys that you have yet to collect for permanent account-wide ATK bonuses. See the list [here](#👶beginner-help message).

Feel free to ask us for account specific advice - especially if you buy BP!

[lilac reef]

Which story stages should I do? I dont have the time to wait 4hrs for sim battle

[sweet flax]

dorm expiditions count btw

[lilac reef]

i forgot those existed...

[sweet flax]

or regular expiditions if you havent finished any for the one time crystals

[lilac reef]

I may as well do these for SSS

it gives xtals

[fallen shale]

the thing is recommending PAWS > FWS > PS, is there another hit count boss in this abyss?

[sweet flax]

paws fdd fws/ps should be the higher scoring team atm

its just that in 8.3 there was no fdd

[fallen shale]

oh ok

should I use fws or ps then

for the third slot

[sweet flax]

no idea what the difference between them is

though ps has generally been more used with paws

This is the pity i was talking about

any context for what pity you were talking about

Yeah I saw that

[charred burrow]

See the pins of beginner help for more guides!

[lunar ridge]

Okay okay but how long is this going to take?

[sweet flax]

well depends what you are doing

I cant magically tell how fast or slow you are and what you are gonna do

[lunar ridge]

I mean I want to read all of the story but I could just start burning every chapter

[charred burrow]

U can replay part 1 story

They are divided into stages, not a one time open world

[lunar ridge]

So just start running through every chapter?

Then go back?

[sweet flax]

you can also find summaries of the chapters online if you dont wanna read back through it

[charred burrow]

Yes, press skip for fastest time
If you want the crystal immediately

[sweet flax]

up to you honestly

[lunar ridge]

Okay okay!

Thank you! I guess I can always come back to it

[unreal edge]

Hi! I started reading Part 2 story beyond Chapter 3 only a couple days ago. Are there any valuable time-limited rewards in the last chapter? Do I need to speedrun all the story and how long could it take? (First 3 chapters were not too time-consuming, are the next ones much larger?)

[sweet flax]

time limited rewards will only apply to the newest chapter, not the older ones and I believe there shouldnt be any atm, but I will double check just incase

[charred burrow]

There is some in the anni event

[sweet flax]

oh ye those ones, but I meant like we had in the previous chapters, limited time crystal rewards

[unreal edge]

I just want to do everything in order not to mess up with all the story stuff

[charred burrow]

But this chapter in specific dont

[unreal edge]

150 gems for last 3 chapters?

And Starry shop currency, you mean this one?

[sweet flax]

you dont lose crystals for delaying the newer chapters

[primal slate]

what should i buy spending shop? just unlocked exalted a few days ago in this acc

[sweet flax]

what boba is mentioning is the anniversary shop which has a couple of notable items (mainly the level up coupon and dkey box)

one of the missions requires you to complete the newest story chapter

[charred burrow]

I dont remember how many crystal correctly but it is the star thing

[unreal edge]

get another 400 stars and take Thelema 😉
I personally would like an ELF

[primal slate]

that's literally bricking

[serene crystal]

Have you read the pin about the spending event?

[sweet flax]

done pulling btw?

[unreal edge]

Okay so I don't have to hurry. I heard there were free VBm stigmas and VBs crossbow for some early chapter and they were time-limited

[unreal edge]

What exactly? Tele or ELF?

[serene crystal]

That time limit was a long time ago

[sweet flax]

continuing to pull when not needed to get a unit who they most likely dont have a weapon for and sees little to no use cases at the moment outside ss ma

[charred burrow]

VBm weapon in chapter 1, u have to craft the stigs

[primal slate]

yea
both HLE and PS 4/4 by first week of carnival

[ancient needle]

Yeah, free VBm stigs and VBs weap are gone for a very long while alr

[sweet flax]

then as shessair mentioned you will benefit from checking the pin as it goes over everything, more likely than not assuming kiaelf isnt 3* or 4* yet, that will probs be the next best decision

#👶beginner-help message

[unreal edge]

Okay, sorry for misleading, it was kinda joke, i even put a smile there: 😉

[sweet flax]

keep in mind this is a help channel more targetted towards beginners, what may seem obvious for others and a joke for you can be taken seriously by those who are unaware

and you can of course lose privileges to type here if this is a re-occurring thing so for your sake do try to be cautious

[abstract sequoia]

that and the sarcasm isn't always as obvious depending on the person

[unreal edge]

Yeah, I got her hammer from chapter 2 or 3 I believe. But idk where can I get Helia's crossbow (since I want to max her someday)

[primal slate]

so ELF boxes? don't exactly see much of an use for KiaElf outside MA strats

[sweet flax]

in 1 SO situations elfs can be better than ds, in fact kiaelf was the best option during sparkle weather not too long ago

[abstract sequoia]

basically, every fire and lightning p2 valk is better off with kiaelf 3*+, as long as it's redlotus

[sweet flax]

it situational, but its always good to have ready when needed

[charred burrow]

Helia's crossbow was gacha on debut, we got a free one few patches ago
i dont think we can get it again in anytime soon

[unreal edge]

Sorry. I understand. Hope there is no sane person who would blindly run and apply any first advice they see 😉

[abstract sequoia]

the only exception imo would be LoA cycles

badum had cycles where ds performed better

[sweet flax]

then again, loa with no teri is pain

[abstract sequoia]

yeah what can you do though

[sweet flax]

not that she is recommended to pull for

[abstract sequoia]

that and backpulling might not be worth either way

[charred burrow]

same principal: ELFs/astral ops dont matter when RL or lower

[abstract sequoia]

even if you want the nirvana push

[abstract sequoia]

correct

for aops that is

elfs are free

and they can give you an situational edge like we already stated

[primal slate]

ig im gonna stack them up

[abstract sequoia]

sure, maybe we get another elf box

then you can get 3* immediately

[unreal edge]

How often do we get ELF boxes? Not every spending event?

[serene crystal]

The most recent ones have all had a box at least.

[abstract sequoia]

only once so far

i meant a full elf unlock

not just fragments

the fragments usually appear in major spending events

like this one

the full elf box came as an extra event with specific missions to complete. it was mostly just "play event up to this part" and "finish story chapter mission x"

[unreal edge]

I meant only fragments, didn't know even there was FULL elf unlock.

[unreal edge]

oh, i see. interesting

[abstract sequoia]

[small willow]

Spending Events

Be careful, Captain!

Spending Events give you huge bonuses for spending Crystals and Supply Cards.

Not to be confused with [Top-Up Events](#👶beginner-help message)!

There are two types of Spending Event:

• ["Big" Spending Events](#👶beginner-help message)
• ["Mini" Spending events](#👶beginner-help message)

See the pins of beginner help for more guides!

[abstract sequoia]

here's the usual stuff in both types of events

last mini spending was last patch

but they don't always come back to back

we usually know when they arrive through cn release schedule

[unreal edge]

Yeah, I like this 2-week+ window to be always prepared. Pretty nice thing

[abstract sequoia]

saved many from hasty decisions

[unreal edge]

As I remember spending evets were almost every patch

[abstract sequoia]

eh, there were many patches since without them

[unreal edge]

Yeah. Unlike other gacha games

[sweet flax]

it cycles between small top up events, mini spending events and big spending events, you dont usually see big spending events outside special cases like cny (glb anni) or cn anni

this patch for example being cn anni

[abstract sequoia]

so cny is next

[sweet flax]

ye its the best time for hoyo to make money, release op unit, reset top ups and put a spending event for max gains

[abstract sequoia]

maybe MasterCard deal while they're at it

[sweet flax]

8.1 being an example

[sweet flax]

id unironically put money into my other bank just to spend on honkek

since they give mastercards there

[abstract sequoia]

I've just had no time to handle it due to exams

[unreal edge]

Yeee, I liked this event so much since I got Thelema literally for free (but had very bad luck in Elysia pulls though)

[abstract sequoia]

you win some, you lose some

[lyric anvil]

Hard pity is pretty common

[abstract sequoia]

both can go as hard as hard pity or soft as one pull payout

[sweet flax]

I can vouch

[abstract sequoia]

horb dk came in one 10 pulls, but when i pulled fdd and chenxue the banners showed no mercy

hle was average pity

what's important is that you're prepared for the worst case

both crystals and mentally

[lyric anvil]

I got mine 4 pulls before hard pity
It was 8 pity

[abstract sequoia]

ah man

[lyric anvil]

So half of that

[abstract sequoia]

i remember tradey cursing me for getting dk so early

[sweet flax]

wait ram

if tradey cursed you

and you went late

but ches cursed me

and I got it fairly early (like 40ish pulls)

[abstract sequoia]

i mean he cursed me after my pulls were over

[sweet flax]

I think I cracked the code

[abstract sequoia]

i pulled horb last

[lyric anvil]

I know I hard pitied the elf and I would guess I probably did the same with her weapon or got it before hard pity

[abstract sequoia]

never get ches's blessing

[sweet flax]

what blessing bro I was hard pitying every banner before it, you cant curse something beyond cursed

just negative gains

[lyric anvil]

I was in a call with my sister when I did my pulls

[sweet flax]

2 negatives makes a positive y'know?

[abstract sequoia]

anyone he blessed got bad pulls

[sweet flax]

that's why you need to have bad pulls before blessed by ches

im telling you I cracked the code

[abstract sequoia]

oh that's what you meant

i see

[sweet flax]

mhmm

[lyric anvil]

Lol

[sweet flax]

so next patch I tell ches to curse me again

I get valk and weapon in 10 pulls

since my luck is infamous

[abstract sequoia]

btw, any ideas what I could use that comes close to sena lead?

i want to help that pawsless sea guy

[lyric anvil]

Last patch was much better to me

[sweet flax]

lp is type countered right?

teri sucks

[lyric anvil]

VBs also

[sweet flax]

vbs sucks as a dps not worth mentioning

[proper quiver]

Make me a sensei rn

[abstract sequoia]

you need vbs in supports for trauma

[sweet flax]

tf

is that a side stage?

[proper quiver]

No 😖

[sweet flax]

im planning on trying horb lp vbs

[abstract sequoia]

okay how did the fight go?

[proper quiver]

I ran out of time

[abstract sequoia]

details

[sweet flax]

what did you use

[abstract sequoia]

did you clear transition

for example

[proper quiver]

Horb, hle, vbs

On the last health bar 2nd phase

[sweet flax]

just to be 100% sure

[abstract sequoia]

winnable

[sweet flax]

your horb has dkey right

[proper quiver]

Yes

[abstract sequoia]

she does

[sweet flax]

what rank is this?

[proper quiver]

A3

[sweet flax]

fr?

[proper quiver]

Mhm

[abstract sequoia]

can confirm, D is 495

[proper quiver]

I’m deranking but it’s whatever

[abstract sequoia]

RL is above 500

[sweet flax]

A3 IS ALMOST 500???

[abstract sequoia]

yeah

[lyric anvil]

Yes

Sea is idk about EU and NA

[abstract sequoia]

old players are slowly falling

who refuse to play p2

and newbies might have A2 as a new norm

[sweet flax]

what brain eating amoebas do to someone

[proper quiver]

Ima try this

[abstract sequoia]

just look in r1

and anyone who "quit" the game

[proper quiver]

Everyday I regret getting sena over paws

[lyric anvil]

Your lead is still melee, so it can work

[abstract sequoia]

how did you do transition

[proper quiver]

Vbs weapon skill and a couple basics

Very easy

[abstract sequoia]

and weapon skill exploded the hats?

[proper quiver]

Yes

[abstract sequoia]

nice

so it is enough

[lyric anvil]

Can her Ult inflict Para or?

[abstract sequoia]

no

[lyric anvil]

Damn

[abstract sequoia]

only non-full WA outside SO and her first full WA inside SO

[proper quiver]

What is next abyss

[abstract sequoia]

she throws a bomb that applies paralyze after a small hitcounter

[sweet flax]

ice raven iirc

[abstract sequoia]

yeah ice raven

[sweet flax]

thank god enough paws

[lyric anvil]

[proper quiver]

Paws payola needs to end

[abstract sequoia]

thelemas rise up

[lyric anvil]

I'm forced to use HLE, PAWS, FDD on that

[proper quiver]

This is worse than last abyss

[abstract sequoia]

[sweet flax]

last abyss was literally do damage

there were no gimmicks

[abstract sequoia]

sampo is just annoying to fight

[lyric anvil]

Benares wasn't bad

[proper quiver]

i dont have fdd weapon

[abstract sequoia]

benares is a meatsack

[proper quiver]

so it was cooked

[abstract sequoia]

the weather was brutal

cooked you quite literally

[lyric anvil]

Ignite and Bleed

[proper quiver]

please tell me most abyss isnt this bad

[abstract sequoia]

nah

[sweet flax]

welcome to shill

[abstract sequoia]

like

you have to play somewhat into the weather

and you can perform well

[sweet flax]

dw next patch you will see a hle weather that the same people who skipped hle will complain about like we are complaining about paws

[lyric anvil]

Most of the Abyss will be catered to the patches Valkyrie

[abstract sequoia]

a few more hle bosses

try being in A3 when they arrive

[lyric anvil]

Fooking door

[sweet flax]

litost resonance vita symphony kevin

what the actual fuck

is that order

[abstract sequoia]

wait its fire litost

so badum should be an option for eclipse

fdd can still apply the ignite for transition without weapon

[sweet flax]

wasnt fdd too good for litost last patch

it was also fire litost

[proper quiver]

bro why is sena dying

[sweet flax]

like the score gap was huge

[abstract sequoia]

that's just sena

[sweet flax]

need to dodge, sena isnt invulnerable

[lyric anvil]

Then there's a shit boss after Kevin

[proper quiver]

sena buff when

[sweet flax]

never hopefully

[proper quiver]

sena dlc when

[sweet flax]

never hopefully

[abstract sequoia]

new valk would be nice

[proper quiver]

i would sell sena for 30 pulls

[sweet flax]

I would sell sena for a kiss on the cheek from da wei, she isnt worth shit

[lyric anvil]

||Fucking Extreme Weather Flying Fish after Kevin||

[sweet flax]

dont

just dont

[lyric anvil]

[sweet flax]

I beg

[abstract sequoia]

I'm cooked on kevin

[proper quiver]

what is symphony

[sweet flax]

triple element check

its 100% gonna be a hle fdd paws check

[abstract sequoia]

symphony wants as many different elements as possible

physical does not count

[proper quiver]

why is paws payola so strong

[sweet flax]

I think mps lp and lds should be another option

but how does mps compare to hle

[lyric anvil]

Sena can be another option

[proper quiver]

whos mps

[abstract sequoia]

she has fdd buffs and GoI in general is a super strong ring

[proper quiver]

oh thelemaa

[sweet flax]

ye ig with hle/mps and fws/hofi/vbm/tfm

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY P2 FIRE UNITS FFS

[proper quiver]

right

4/8 of my pt2 units are fire

[lyric anvil]

Not many for WoD

[proper quiver]

what om stupid

[sweet flax]

wod has 3 units bro

[proper quiver]

its 3/8

[abstract sequoia]

and who can go into which ring?

consider that too

it's not just about elements

[proper quiver]

ill prob do sena, hle, fdd or something cope

[lyric anvil]

I meant not many that are fire that can support for WoD

[abstract sequoia]

you can go 2 elements to cope

that's fine

diabolic kevin however has an interesting mechanic

[sweet flax]

omg I just realised that lds resurgency can be possible next patch

[lyric anvil]

Lol

[abstract sequoia]

he can apply dmg reduction on himself for one element at some points in the fight

[lyric anvil]

||Lamp is in BP I believe next patch||

[sweet flax]

perfect, can finally get her weapon

[proper quiver]

like what am i supposed to do with this pile of shit

[lyric anvil]

[abstract sequoia]

it could be worse

[sweet flax]

pile of what now? that's good

the only bad unit here is sena

[proper quiver]

i could have gotten paws and her weapon but my stupid ass pulled on the begginner banner

[abstract sequoia]

at least you have a solid breach support and a potential impair support for later physical valks

[proper quiver]

fdd and fws dont have weapon

[primal herald]

ts absolutely good ❤️

[proper quiver]

i am getting fdd tho so thats okay

[abstract sequoia]

i also fell for the beginner banner trap

[lyric anvil]

Not the only one

[proper quiver]

doesnt seem like it, the first 2 ex abyss are kicking my ass

[abstract sequoia]

didn't get thelema nor lantern because of that

[proper quiver]

i lost 150 trophies last abyss

[lyric anvil]

How do you think I have my HoRb

[abstract sequoia]

only got thelema later out of sheer luck

[lyric anvil]

Skipped out on RS due to this

[abstract sequoia]

i skipped RS because Sparkle

[proper quiver]

i have ||ritas|| bis team right?

[lyric anvil]

Sena and HLE

[abstract sequoia]

sure can work

[proper quiver]

i have no idea how to play thelema so i dont touch her

[abstract sequoia]

and ||imaginary|| has a lot of enemies that you will need someone for

[lyric anvil]

IMG a pain

[abstract sequoia]

then ask us

i know the tricks

!faq starter

[small willow]

Starter Supply

Don't waste crystals, Captain!

Please see Professor Lyo's explanation of why Starter Supply is not recommended [here](#👶beginner-help message).

Short answer:

• Brand new Valkyries to be prioritised over old ones (see [!faq backpull](#👶beginner-help message)).
• The discounted 10x does not make it good. Only do the 1 single pull that gets refunded anyway.
• In most cases, you will not have the infrastructure to make a good team with either of these Valkyries.
• Your crystals are better spent on new Valkyries: the value of a Valkyrie peaks on her release.
• This banner is only recommended for people willing to reroll accounts until they get a Valkyrie in the first 10x. Ask us what to do if you are interested in rerolling, it is very dependant on the patch contents.

[proper quiver]

i want hofi dlc so bad but my account is not build for it

[lyric anvil]

I don't know which patch they ended
8.1 or 8.0

[abstract sequoia]

yeah not worth it

[primal herald]

oohhh i thought you meant the dorm trap one

[abstract sequoia]

nah

[primal herald]

im so stupid 😔

Pretty much

Gonna start seeing a lot of part 1

[primal herald]

damn guess i will keep pulling for ely's bow then

[zenith vale]

is lunar vow the char still worth investing in?

[abstract sequoia]

depends on the amount of investment

and whether you have her team ready

[proper quiver]

can i grind 12 pulls (with monthly) in the next 6 days

[abstract sequoia]

use the calculator for that

!faq calc

[small willow]

Crystal Calculator

Hi, Captain!

Ai-chan recommends this calculator: https://honkaihub.com/calculator

[proper quiver]

should i 65 sena or horb weapon

[abstract sequoia]

who has more score as dps?

upgrade the one that clearly gave you more

[zenith vale]

||sorry i dont actually know if its fine to talk about CN content here cause im new here so ill spoiler this just incase! but im asking cause she'll be free next patch and I think I can only pick up at most her wep from the BP shop and was wondering if that'll be worth it||

[sweet flax]

you can if its spoiler tagged yes

[abstract sequoia]

asking with spoilering is fine here

[proper quiver]

i havent gotten through to the 2nd phase because sen keeps dying

[zenith vale]

noted on the spoiler tag, thankess

[sweet flax]

||btw no, do not pick up lv's weapon in the bp. although she will be given for free she has no use cases at the moment||

[abstract sequoia]

inb4 wife returns banner

[sweet flax]

||and to be honest with you, whenever they give use free units it usually means they either have plans for them and makes sure its accessible to all players (such as with hohe/hos dkeys) or because she wont be obtainable for a really long time||

[zenith vale]

okie then should i just wait for tthe next bp cycle for thelema's wep instead? i have her full set from using the freebie resources to craft it and i got her from the spenders shop

[proper quiver]

should i use sena/vbs/fws, sena/vbs/horb, or sena/vbs/hle

[sweet flax]

if you see a need for it then you can consider it, either way the weapon will be available for another 2 patches

[zenith vale]

but idk if she can fit into the teams i current have which are just hle, sparkle and then ||hohe and hofi with thier upcoming dlc banners||

[abstract sequoia]

look into your valk skills and see what heals the team. there is even a "+" tag you can press while viewing a valk to show every skill with healing

[abstract sequoia]

Just looking into thelema's astral ring attributes shows you which rings she can support. That's the star-like symbols when viewing her in the valk menu

the big symbol is her main ring or "specialization" which she can always support, the smaller symbols are her support rings or "attributes"

if you want to know who can support her, look for valks with the "Harmonized Shadow Star" tag

that's the Wheel of Destiny support tag

[abstract sequoia]

here's what I said with visuals. also note that the filters correctly align the specialisation with their respected attribute

only rite of oblivion with it's omniscient star is special, being able to support every ring on it's own but always weaker than the correct attributes

that's why VBm is always your slot filler if you have nothing else

[proper quiver]

im giving up on sena

who's the leader

if its fdd then it doesnt really work

since hle isnt roo

[proud maple]

HLE leader

Fdd is support

[amber finch]

well you just do hle's dps rotation then fdd qte weapon active and ult

if you dont know hle's dps rotation then i recommend checking out the tutorial ingame

[proud maple]

Still they can't clear RL I guess..have to try next week

[amber finch]

because hle is under -50% dmg

she's a ranged unit and this abyss heavily favors meele units

[proud maple]

Oh god

[amber finch]

show me what valks you have

[quick birch]

I assume it's not exalted RL ?

[proud maple]

No.. I'm lvl 77

[amber finch]

oh what

i thought you were way higher lvl bc of how long you've been here

[proud maple]

I got demoted last time to agony

[quick birch]

what's the weather in masters, this sounds like a rotation issue tbh

[proud maple]

This time I cleared it

[amber finch]

yeah its probably a rotation issue

[proud maple]

Well ai just started the game a few weeks ago

[amber finch]

qmanifold doesnt have debuffs if im not wrong

[proud maple]

It was solo HLE at that time

I got Coralie and her weapon Yesterday

[amber finch]

ok so it was a team issue

[proud maple]

And is working on them to make it maxed

[amber finch]

if you know how to use hle already then all you gotta do on fdd is literally just qte weapon active and ult

[proud maple]

So can HLE AND Fdd maintain me exalted RL?

[amber finch]

need a 3rd teammate

[proud maple]

Or is agony 3 is my destiny?

[amber finch]

just those 2 alone is not enough

[amber finch]

you arent even retaining qmanifold rl boi

spoiler that and ||she doesnt support goi||

|| hle can support her so that's something, and she's her bis too||

[proud maple]

I can now I have fdd as well

[proud maple]

Yeah she as the main dps

And HLE FDD Support

[amber finch]

then use them

[proud maple]

I am

[amber finch]

.

[proud maple]

Yet to get her stigs to max

One is 50 another is 45

[zenith vale]

owhhh thank you, had no idea about that

[quick birch]

may i ask what your rotation looks like then ? because your team does sound like you should be able to clear tbh, recording would be perfect if you can but describing is also fine

[sweet flax]

nirv results: horb lp vbs 365, vbs was able to easily clear transition which means as long as you have damage this boss is clearable especially in a3

[proud maple]

I recently cleared Agony

I will come back here for help if I get struck at RL

[abstract sequoia]

best i got in redlotus is 504 with this

i just bruteforced his hats, turns out they aren't indestructible

any vbs run lacked damage in p2

leading to severe point loss

[amber finch]

i wonder

what about sci

[abstract sequoia]

can't test her

[amber finch]

oh right ur new

[abstract sequoia]

but i guess she can work

[abstract sequoia]

no i skipped

[amber finch]

yeah

[amber finch]

ohh

[serene crystal]

I remember the recommendation back then being skip on her as well and don't have her for the same reason.

[abstract sequoia]

the patch after her was glb ani and it turned out to be just too important

vita and hofi dk

[amber finch]

basically she was considered a bait

[abstract sequoia]

she fell under that stereotype due to her bad timing

not necessarily for being quantum

[serene crystal]

Quantum was at least part of the issue the fact that next patch was extremely good didn't help her at all though.

[ancient needle]

Her supporting capabilities were genuinely lacking tbf

Sparkle is the one that actually fell under the stereotype

[novel path]

any tips on the team for this abyss? this is all the part2 valks i have

or the team i got selected is the best one i can get with what i have

[vagrant field]

I just got elysian. Is she good to combine with fws and vbm??

[serene crystal]

She would prefer another Symbiosis support instead of VBm but she can work as a cope option.

[ancient needle]

It's between Sena DPS and HoRb DPS in your case, and both of them should use FWS HLE supps in your case

[quick birch]

couldnt they also try to cook something with fws pretty sure a lot of her attacks are meele

fws + sparkle + jds/ps ig

[ancient needle]

I feel like she'll be worse

Cuz with that logic Sparkle is eligible too

[quick birch]

horb just won't benefit from the weather buff so idt she'll be better than fws

sena might ngl

[ancient needle]

Why do you think HoRb won't benefit

[quick birch]

summon damage

[ancient needle]

Ah, you meant that way

I think that Sena is best here, but I'm not 100% sure

I can't prove it yet

[quick birch]

i could've sworn horb had a similair skill to fdd and ps maybe i'm just loosing it

cuz i can't find it

nvm i'm just blind though this does not mention it's neither meele or ranged

[wicked pebble]

what is the best love elf team

[mortal mica]

what is the best team i could do ? all of them have stigs but no weapon (except coralie)

[ancient needle]

FDD + 2nd support depending on what you're fighting (for example, it's FWS vs SD enemies and PS if you need Bleed/hitcount)

[ancient needle]

1. It's best if you don't pull valks without weaps in the future, they're mandatory here
2. It depends a lot on what you're fighting, but the most proper one would be Sena Helia/Lantern Badum

[raven bane]

should i get the box or einstein

[quick birch]

you should be able to get both by completing the quests though prioritise the box

[raven bane]

and what should i get from the box

[serene crystal]

All the options have the same value + 10 ATK and ||they are all available from reserve works from next patch onwards so there is no meaningful difference in value.||

[raw elbow]

If global servers are gone, which server is my game progress reallocated to?

[quick birch]

no idea because the global servers won't close any time soon

[serene crystal]

That depends on how Hoyo wants to do the transfer and as there has been no info from Hoyo that they want to close Global so we have no idea on how they would do it.

[novel comet]

what character should i get in the war treasury

[shell basin]

See the pins. Broadly you want someone in the Elysian realm and then stress tests are a nice bonus

None of them are used for meta

[kind hull]

so is there any way to stop bronya's mech taking up half of the textboxes

[grim meadow]

any idea what thehell i can use for ts

[wicked pebble]

Is it worth pulling fdd

[ancient needle]

Depends on what you alr have
Why tf are they suggesting LV though 😭

[ancient needle]

Nah

Not atp

[grim meadow]

thats what im wondering too🥹 alsoi can send my valk list again

though im pretty sure i might be cooked but we'll see..

[ancient needle]

Yeah, do that

[ancient needle]

Also mention if any of the notable valks there are missing gear

[wicked pebble]

Why not

[ancient needle]

||She won't be able to support 8.6 and her value beyond that is unknown because she doesn't have a "???" AR tag||

• you probably won't be able to afford her rn anyway

[grim meadow]

ignore jk and mpe
everyone except lantern and ps are 4/4 maxxed, lanterns running foundry weapon and ps is running pandoras box

hohe dkey aswl

all ofm y other valks r pt 1 w/o dkey so yeah

[ancient needle]

Use Sena Vita HLE

[grim meadow]

alr ty, do you have a general rot for them?

[wide bison]

Is there a way for me to get Mobius fast

[shell basin]

Rush story to level up 81 and get lots of AL

I think some of the current events are also 1 time sources

[wide bison]

Lots of what?

[shell basin]

war treasury currency

She’s in the war treasury so you need the currency to buy her there

AL is specifically Ancient Legacy

[wide bison]

Oh yeah I noticed that. 640 of those things is a lot though, I barely have around 100 of those

[shell basin]

Yeah most of the income is level gated

High level players can get way more of it

Hence rushing story to level up if you’re in a hurry

[wide bison]

Ily Mobius but I really don't wanna rush the story 😭 guess I'll get her eventually

[shell basin]

Yeah you’ll get her in time

Won’t take that long anyway

[wide bison]

Yeah I'm already like level 54 just by logging in everyday so it shouldn't take long

Also I heard something happens at lvl 80 something to do with a ceiling. What is it?

[shell basin]

You can either choose to stay at level 80, with easier challenges, or break through the ceiling to level 81+ and get more rewards but harder challenges

It’s almost always worth it to break through

[wide bison]

So the equivalent of ascension quest from hoyo games

[shell basin]

You can ask for more specifics if you want to be sure but 9/10, 99/100 you’ll get more rewards for breaking through

Sorta yeah. Not exactly the same but

[wide bison]

Alright I'll take it nice and easy for now. I want to enjoy the game's lore

I'm too late by now so all I can do is play for the story and collect characters I like

[left vale]

well thats not true

[shell basin]

Yeah love elf is right. I started 6 months ago and I’m already competing in the second highest tier and have been for a few months now

[novel path]

mind to explain the sena fws hle rotation pls

never used them together

[shell basin]

Coulda been bouncing the highest tier but I made some bad decisions on purpose

[novel path]

this was the best i could do with that team

most players havent played yet so will get surpassed 100%

[shell basin]

Yeah you’re mostly hoping enough of them either don’t have paws or don’t know how to play

Not impossible, I mean, it’s A2

But rough

[ancient needle]

FWS applies her buffs with either QTE, enhanced WA (don't do that one, too slow) or CA, and she procs Stellar Drain with enhanced WA (again, don't do that) or CA
HLE applies buffs with either QTE (I would turn it off though) or WA and procs Stellar Drain with ult

So the non-SO rot would be Badum CA -> HLE WA + ult -> Sena DPS rot -> HLE WA -> Badum QTE -> Sena -> repeat

The SO rot would just be placing the anchor on Sena -> FWS reso procs -> HLE reso procs -> Sena

[ancient needle]

The order of FWS and HLE doesn't matter, but keep in mind that the amount of reso procs is limited to 9

The non-SO rot will be pretty awkward cuz of CD issues

[misty linden]

so i just started playing chapter nine,, when do we go back tousing our own characters. i hate Theresa

[ancient needle]

Never

There are some pure combat stages that allow you to use your own chars, but the story itself doesn't

That's if talking Part 1

In Part 2 you can use your own chars in OW chapters except boss fights

[misty linden]

ohh, this sucks but i get why

i really hate using Theresa

[iron parrot]

sorry her legs are short

[inner bronze]

any vids of paws fdd badum vs sampo?

[lone crater]

did u try youtube

[inner bronze]

yea but for some reason my dmg just doesnt compare

[shell basin]

record ur run

probably you're messing up ur rot, thats the usual reason

but hard to say without seeing it

[faint wasp]

what can i do with melee shill...

[shell basin]

cry. You could try PS FDD VBM, since PS is at least not ranged and has TC, but I would go in expecting to suffer

[faint wasp]

That's indeed what im doing trying to do this abyss rn ty anyway!

[shell basin]

np

may your bracket have a bunch of people with no paws who dont know how to play so you retain

[faint wasp]

my brackets have been the opposite for the past few weeks unfortunately, hope that changes soon, this beginner ahh acc is struggling

[shell basin]

yeah its rough trying to brute force abyss when you dont have the right team

[faint wasp]

On another note, how do people decide wether or not they pull for the debut battlesuit aside from havign enough xtals?? and how much was it again?? (average amount of xtals needed or for guaranteed)

[shell basin]

Ideally you want to pull all of them. However, sometimes you have to skip, and there's no one thing that decides it. Some things to consider are

• Is there another patch coming up soon that's probably better, like CNY or Anni?
• Do you have a cope option that can maybe retain on the bosses (For instance, for ||rita||, do you have Hoo+Hofi Dkey?)
• Do you have the right teammates for the battlesuit? If not, they might be lower priority because you won't retain on their shill anyway
• How common is their niche? For instance, quantum weathers are fairly rare, so quantum battlesuits are sometimes considered less valuable
• How good are they? This is hard to say, since they're often going to be best on their shill, but for most battlesuits there's some weather or bosses that multiple people qualify for

like img weather bosses could be either dudu or trio, say

and if they are usually better than others on those (and therefore have more bosses) they're a better pull than someone who needs specific shill to be good. Also in consideration here is how good they are at support, think how fast their buff cycle is / how many ring tags / if they offer breach

Average case is about 30k crystals, worst case scenario is about 40.5k

to get a battlesuit and weapon

[lyric anvil]

No Para for transition?

[shell basin]

Look at their battlesuits ryebread and tell me they have an option for para

[lyric anvil]

VBs

[shell basin]

yeah sure FDD VBS VBM, definitely a good option for this abyss 💀

[lyric anvil]

[faint wasp]

okiii tysm

[low ridge]

Is this good😥

[shell basin]

what abyss rank and what team?

[low ridge]

Paws fdd and hle and agony 2

[shell basin]

you can probably do better since a2 is paper but it's also a2 so probably it's fine

since if they knew how to play they wouldnt be in a2

[low ridge]

Shady I kinda know how to play

Anyways

[low ridge]

How to do this

[shell basin]

unlock the shicksal HQ map

this coming monday

instead of whatever you are doing rn

[low ridge]

Ok

What’s the next rotation for these going to be

[shell basin]

unknown, it just came over to this one this patch

[low ridge]

Should I pull for ||Rita|| or skip and save

Like do I have any good supports for her

[shell basin]

||Rita seems like a solid pick, you have a team for her, multiple options if thelema has wep.|| What does your crystal count look like?

[low ridge]

I’m I was just asking bc I only have 1k gems my funds were really drain from getting hle and fdd so realistically I won’t get her only if I get her in the free 10/ half off

[shell basin]

Oh yeah in that case I would save. You can toss a few pulls at her banner in case u get her early enough to guarentee weapon

but if u cant afford her you cant afford her

[zenith vale]

(standard supply)
I’m sorry not trying to flex, just wanted to understand the system cause I thought the rules said it wouldn’t give you someone you alr have? Or does that only happen to the first S rank rolled, and any after that is just pure chance?

Not that I’m complaining about hohe! ||esp with her dlc banner rerunning||

[shadow gyro]

basically in the top left of the supply theres a % that the s rank you get will be someone you dont own and if you get a dupe it increases for the next one
do you know what number it had before you did this 10 pull? not that its super important to say that now but it can help the explanation

[glossy laurel]

hii ! are there any codes that i can redeem? i'm a new player

[shadow gyro]

check the 8.5 redeem codes in pins if you didnt use them yet

if you also need invite codes take one based on ur server from #invite-links-here

[glossy laurel]

thank u sm !

i got her early omgggg

[rotund roost]

theres a 999 dice right

[waxen wharf]

So I'm a returning player to HOI3. Swear I thought I didn't get too far before. But coming back I'm all the way into chapter 11 and got 100% in everything else subsequently. Don't remember jack about what's going on.

What's the uh recommended way to get a recap. Just view cutscenes?

Should mention I mean for part 1 not part 2

[hardy lintel]

guys what is time fracture?

i may had use it countless time but by name i got no idea xd

thought it was like the evation skill thingy you go slow mode but idk if i either did it wrong or it is nto

[shadow gyro]

you can reply the chapter but because that consumes stamina i would watch a walkthrough instead so you can make use of the stamina elsewhere
some p1 chapters have a mini recap but that's for the later chapters

[shell basin]

you could also consider a new account if you arent attached

and then you could replay it and get starter bonuses in one

[shadow gyro]

basically it slows down enemies (and certain timers), you know you did it if you see a purple like effect spreading across the screen
normally you trigger it if you evade timely (as the enemy is attacking you) but there's various characters and gear that can automatically trigger it if you do certain criterias

[waxen wharf]

Nah because I remember the reason I quit was because I got stuck on Wendy. Could not get past her. Came back. Somehow I'm past her. WOn't question it lol

(Has been a while so maybe I'm misremembering and I did end up beating her. But swear I remember it being ridiculously difficult and why I stopped playing)

[haughty elbow]

no

i sat there for a few minutes there is indeed not a 999

[hardy lintel]

can you maybe give me some example of them?

[rotund roost]

Are you sure.... I'm still dicing right now

[haughty elbow]

yes

by a few i mean quite a bit

[hardy lintel]

mainly so i can use this to get those damn exiting 5 gems XD

[rotund roost]

Can I open this so I can do the FR trial or HoT trial?

[shadow gyro]

first one is evading at the right time
the second one is automatic because the character's skill says she will trigger it if she uses her ult

[shadow gyro]

you don't need any for stress test but otherwise non of these are useful so i guess you can get any

[rotund roost]

Should I get the FR one? Since I can use this box for 7 Thunders of Retribution for HoT?

[shadow gyro]

as i said you need non of these for stress text, stress test is doable with level 35 forgable or a leveled low tier weapon whichever you pick i wont level but get for collection (and dkeys for attack)

[slim blaze]

Great. Now its weapon time

[glossy laurel]

do you have any tips where to grind crystals 🤕

[shadow gyro]

#👶beginner-help message here

[glossy laurel]

should i just do the story rn?

i'm at chapter 11 now

[waxen wharf]

Ah hey you're exactly where I'm at lol. I'm watching some recap videos because I can't remember what was going on

Edit: Also I'm just focusing on the story and nothing else. Once I get into part 2 maybe I'll start thinking about stuff like pulling units or doing events or whatever. I'm too lost in the sauce right now

[mild latch]

wat weapon should i go for

i have ego elysia and pardofelis

and jade knight im close to unlocking her but idk

[vivid horizon]

purana

[zenith vale]

hi sorry for the late! no I wasnt keeping track of how much I had been pulling cause it was anytime i hit 10 cards i pull on it. so basically hohe was just by pure chance then?

[rotund roost]

what elf for this

or should I just keep

[shadow gyro]

u can keep the box

ideally kiaelf but u can keep the box until u need it

[midnight shard]

Guys I need help

How do I invest in her

I have her stigmata all three but do I need to get her weapon

Im only at chapter 10

[rotund roost]

5 days, you will get her weapon trust

[low ridge]

Yes everyone needs there weapons

https://tenor.com/view/ice-spice-spongebob-big-guy-spongebob-big-guy-gif-7926830890623994132

[midnight shard]

I have her other form called herrscher of human

Do i use the cat girl as a support

[midnight shard]

Okayy

[low ridge]

Anyways do I need to upgrade these

[shadow gyro]

im not sure who between roza and ely you got first from the same dorm pull but if you had a high chance to an s rank u dont own then you probably used it on roza then was lucky to get another s rank so you had a lower chance for an s rank u dont own so u got hoh
or maybe you had a low chance for an s rank u dont own but was lucky to get a new one anyways

i actually wont sweat it honestly, the important thing is that you get a new unit for dorm levels and someone youll use in stress test and ER later one while also being lucky to get hoh of all people

[low ridge]

And like weapons are so necessary they you shouldn’t pull for a character if you can’t get there weapons

[midnight shard]

So I need this for her

[low ridge]

Yes

[midnight shard]

Okay

[shadow gyro]

shell be ur cope support so yes use pardo

[low ridge]

But you have the beginning stuff so I believe in you

[midnight shard]

I dont

I dont have the starter manual

[shadow gyro]

upgrade the support stuff

[midnight shard]

Its glitched

[low ridge]

????

[midnight shard]

When I login I didn't get the starter manual

[low ridge]

Restart your game then

[shadow gyro]

u had it before or did u never see it when you started the game?

[midnight shard]

I created the account four days ago

Brand new

[low ridge]

Idk because that’s a LOT of gems being missed

[midnight shard]

No other accounts nothing

[shadow gyro]

i mean did u see it when you started the account or no

[midnight shard]

No

It wasnt there when I started this game

[shadow gyro]

you never used that account ever before right?

[midnight shard]

Nope never

I just created it four days ago

[shadow gyro]

yeah you got a glitch

[midnight shard]

Yea

[shadow gyro]

at least report it

[midnight shard]

I did

I haven't gotten a report back

[low ridge]

Maybe contact support

[shadow gyro]

tbh youll be missing out on good stuff without it

[low ridge]

In game

[midnight shard]

Yea I saw the rewards in youtube

[low ridge]

Right that’s a let of crystals

[midnight shard]

Im sad about it

I wanted the purple girl in the beginner banner

The one with the white and purple and pink

[low ridge]

You going to have to be on your grind to get her weapon

[midnight shard]

Yea

[shadow gyro]

huh can you show a picture?

[midnight shard]

I grinned so much im only at 40 pulls still to get it

I think its called kiana

[shadow gyro]

although beginner supply is a scam btw

[midnight shard]

Herrscher of something

[low ridge]

Wait so you dont have the beginner banner in you gacha

That’s weird

[midnight shard]

The one below the supply of the star ops banner

[low ridge]

Pic pls

[midnight shard]

Okay

Its with herrscher of finality and Uhhh herrscher of truth

And the other things

[shadow gyro]

that was long ago, shes no longer in beginner supply
shes in a shop called reserve works, takes forever to grind so not worth it unless you dont care and want her anyways
shes in dorm but u cant gurantee her

[midnight shard]

YEA DORM SUPPLY

I called it the beginner supply banner

[low ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/you're-making-things-up-gif-17611975092831502965

[midnight shard]

I didn't know there was a real beginner banner

[shadow gyro]

oh just called it dorm supply
some ppl say standard supply but dorm is most used

[low ridge]

lol

[midnight shard]

Ohhh okay

[shadow gyro]

or permanent supply or wtv

you have to know that there is a different supply called beginner supply so yeah

[low ridge]

You don’t have the beginner or the guide on a brand new account

[midnight shard]

Look i dont have the starter manual. So yea just to clarify

[midnight shard]

Yes

This is my first account I ever made

[low ridge]

This is so weird

Idk

[shadow gyro]

ngl if you barely did anything maybe do an alt
because im not sure if CS can help you

[midnight shard]

Ill just deal with it and keep grinding

I dont want to restart again and grind for the new character cause I got it in a single ten free pull

[low ridge]

Did you have to do the starting mission where you fight Honkai beast on top of the ship as Kiana

[shadow gyro]

i mean u can still try rerolling but up to u

[midnight shard]

Yea, I did do that but, when it was done and all i never got the starting manual

I asked the other low level in the general chat they got it

But I didnt

Like in game

[shadow gyro]

ill admit some ppl in here reported the case of them not getting it but idk if theres a fix

[midnight shard]

Well it for sure isn't fix cause I didn't got it

But oh well

I still get the free 1200 gems

And other free pulls

[low ridge]

I’d say if you got her in the free ten and really I think you should reroll (that is when you make a new accounts and do the first ten then if you get it you keep that account and if don’t make another) because then you can get the weapon super easy cause you have the starter guide and a lot more gems but up to you

[midnight shard]

After I got herrscher of human

[midnight shard]

Its fine im at 40 pulls

To get the weapon

I can grind all the stories and events to get the weapon

[low ridge]

Ok best of luck

[midnight shard]

Mhm thank you

[low ridge]

So should i upgrade them

[shell basin]

Damage vs typeless one is nice

SP gain and healing are whatever

If you have enough ASMs tho by all means get em all

[low ridge]

Do I level her up

[shell basin]

Yeah. Lower priority than gacha battlesuits or valkyrie blastmetal

but like, priority 3 or 4

[glossy laurel]

how to get attempts in expedition...

[storm lantern]

daily reset

[glad ice]

the befall is only 1 per day

there are 2 befall boxes

[waxen wharf]

After all this time I'm only just now realizing the Wendy I got stuck on back then that made me quit in chapter 11. Was not necessary for the story.

I was wrong it is necessary im cooked

[mortal mica]

Apart for Sena, both were free pull

[glossy laurel]

ohh okay thanks! i thought i have to wait for the reset lol

[waxen wharf]

Yep. Still as frustrating as I remember. Supposedly the shield color is how you know to switch but she will just randomly stop taking damage.

[fallow warren]

hi guys i just started playing, should i pull for dorm supply or elysia hi elf

[novel path]

thanks ❤️ even with that rot the best results i had was with this team , tho i think i need at least 700 to secure the second place since its still 1d left

[charred burrow]

Only spend your crystals on new battlesuit and weapon supply
Dorm only pull with dorm ticket

[fallow warren]

alrighty

[glad ice]

idk if sena deal melee or not

[novel path]

she does

[glad ice]

or paralyze

[ancient needle]

Sorry, I completely forgot that the transition wants Paralyze xdd
I'd replace Thele with VBs (only if she's properly geared) and run that

VBs can apply Para with her regular WA (when her bar is not full) -> BA

[ancient needle]

(the hats are tankier than I remembered)

[ancient needle]

Though in A3 raw damage might be better
Hard to tell without trying it out, and I'm not in A3 xdd

Running VBs makes the rot a lot easier though (no CD issues)

[novel path]

thanks ❤️

[maiden garden]

Do I buy the prisms from here or smth else is more valuable

[glad ice]

save it

stamps are more valuable

prism can be saved until u re in a sudden need

u dont have a lot of currency anw

[maiden garden]

Hm
Do we know what next battlepass valk is gonna be

Their stamps are added in here right?

[maiden garden]

Ye used on prism/honkai shard while building ely

[glad ice]

the stamp will be swap randomly every few patches

before sena it was hohe which is not from bp paid shop

[robust forge]

!faq er signets

[low ridge]

Who is this diva

I don’t pay attention to the story I skip though and I saw her

[glad ice]

||mother of dragon||

[low ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/bruh-gif-22596911

Wait I hope she becames playable

[glad ice]

[low ridge]

Why can’t she come out later

[glad ice]

lets hope cn whales approve enough

[low ridge]

Omg who is this

So many pretty unplayable characters

[glad ice]

||dreamseeker|| but in black clothes

[low ridge]

?

Who

[glad ice]

ur free aop

[low ridge]

What

[low ridge]

So there a male version?

[glad ice]

no, ||vita delete male account after chapter 3||

[low ridge]

What lol

[glad ice]

"accidentally"

[low ridge]

So people who had the male one it turned into a female

[wicked pebble]

does pity carry over

[glad ice]

on main banner yes

[sweet flax]

battlesuit/equipment supply are the main banners btw*
dorm also carries pity but you shouldnt spend crystals on it

[lone crater]

game needs weap, getting valk without weap is same as not getting valk in most cases
dont pull without enough to guarantee weap

[glad ice]

Aop banner also carry pity over to the next aop

[low ridge]

How to I get this

Anyone know

[amber finch]

take in a player as a “cadet” and have them complete cadet missions for that currency

how to:
friends—> sensei

[low ridge]

Oh

[lethal valley]

guys is mobius still good

[outer spruce]

no

[opal ingot]

🐍

[radiant cosmos]

Is it worthy to return to the game right now? Is there a worty events going on?

[shadow gyro]

anytime is a good time
but there is a spending event, you have a lil bit of time but you might catch up

[fast sluice]

how do i complete this? it takes me to apho but im still in part 1 so i dont wanna do it

[ionic magnet]

who shld I build / pull for

[serene crystal]

You need to clear commissions in one of the four open world areas. You should be able to go to the other ones by pressing the globe icon. APHO was also released concurrently with Part 1 and doesn't spoil what happens in part 1.

[mortal carbon]

it spoils some things
but yeah it can be any open world, doesnt have to be APHO 1 iirc

[serene crystal]

Do you have Hi Love Elf's weapon? If not that is highest priority.
Your second priority is to ensure that you can pull for valk + weapon next patch. For build priority HLE > FWS > MPS > VBm

[ancient needle]

If you alr got HLE's weap you just save until the next patch

[ionic magnet]

I do

I have both

[ancient needle]

You probably don't have a lot of Prisms rn, I wouldn't go beyond lvl 45 on any of the valks's stigs (keep VBm's stigs at lvl 35)

[ancient needle]

If you do have a lot lemme know

[ancient needle]

Unless they're alr maxed ofc

[ionic magnet]

uhh I have 3

[kind hull]

anyone have any tips for beating stage 2 of Kallen Fantasy challenge? I always get onto the third part of the stage but the timer runs out before i can win

[fast sluice]

oke ty!!

[serene crystal]

Shift out SI for RC and HoV for TA would be my basic plan

[kind hull]

who's TA?

[serene crystal]

Terminal Aide

What character do you have?

[vivid shard]

Not exactly a beginner but haven't played in a while
Are any of the current/upcoming banner characters good teammates for Herrsercher of the Void

[serene crystal]

What are you trying to do with HoV?

[vivid shard]

Idk
I just like her

[serene crystal]

RS does have some ability to support part 1 physical but of course HoV is still basically unplayable in Abyss

For that mission I would do HoHe, HoV, RC. HoV can work as you just want three independent units.

Are there any side which you particularly struggle with because when I tried it everything just died in one hit.

[kind hull]

the joyo/jun ninja on the left side were either taking loads of time or killing me

nvm i did it by killing them with ellie ult

[worldly crystal]

guys what weapon could I give to starry impression if I dont have hearts color?

[shell basin]

Some cross with high attack that you already have, she’s not worth investing much in

Maybe whichever of the Binding dkeys you plan to level up to 50 for the lightning gene limit

[maiden garden]

Do I have to do all this missions for the breakthrough?

[glad ice]

u are not forced to do them but the reward is the exp which help u reach breaking lvl faster

[shell basin]

Yeah

You could do zero of them and still hit level 81 it’ll just take longer

[worldly crystal]

how can I easily get weapon resonance?

[shell basin]

You craft bounty weapons and then break them down into reso

[worldly crystal]

Do I need to level up the bounty weapons before converting them for weapon resonance?

[shell basin]

Typically takes a bunch of ether fuel, 190 G1 materials from invitation to mirage, and 150 AE imaginions

But some of them take say Ranger creds instead

[shell basin]

No. Every bounty weapons should be worth 1000 weapon reso

The cheapest bounty weapons should is iirc 3rd sacred relic but it’ll only save you like 140k coins or something

You could pick different ones for collection purposes

[maiden garden]

Oh

I thought you had to do them
Kinda like a prerequisite

Thx for letting me know

[shell basin]

It is typically more efficient to use tickets on the second stage of a mirage and then farm level 6 normally for ether fuel than the other way around

[worldly crystal]

oki

ill probably go for ones that use AE since I have alot of those

[worldly crystal]

oh really? I only really played on 6th stages

[maiden garden]

How impactful is not doing mirage stages for relatively new players (lvl 80 😭)

I'm just not in the mood most of the time I notice it exists

[shell basin]

Well you need to farm the 2nd stage for the G1s

And it’s a lot of runs to get 190 without mirage

[shell basin]

You can just use vacation tickets to auto do it

Mostly they’re used for obtaining dkeys (Pledge of Sakura and oath of Judah) and then for crafting p2 stigmas you don’t roll (600 ether fuel per)

If you’re lucky you never need to farm it again after you craft the dkeys, if you’re unlucky you might need to go back, and there’s other niche craftables you might benefit from (but might decide aren’t worth the effort)

[maiden garden]

I haven't even done the stages to auto it 😭

Should do ig
More battlepass exp at worst

[maiden garden]

I see

I am missing those dkeys
Should craft them
Free bonus afterall as far as I am aware

[shell basin]

Yeah. +10 attack and lightning gene limit

[glad ice]

u only have 10 mirage entries per week

using tickets/coupons or not, after 10 times u're done for the week

[karmic smelt]

how important is chenxue to hle?

[shell basin]

Useful in Nirvana but you shouldn’t need her in Rl to retain

Would need SS too

S Chenchen is a dreamseeker sidegrade, scores worse on some bosses

Like Hellmaru

[glad ice]

S chenxue give (HLE and all Goi's teams) bonus start ARI, letting u SO (burst mode) sooner. SS chenxue give bonus ARI regen, letting u SO again sooner

and bcs part 2 gameplay is around "SO = big dmg" it will affect ur competitive potential

that's the mutual advantage of gacha Aop. the dmg buff from aop isnt as important as the ability to let ur team SO sooner

[cold niche]

What kinda team should I use for abyss? Everyone is using paws but I don’t got her 🥀🥀

[shell basin]

You’re kinda cooked. FDD VBM VBS is your best bet prolly?

That way you have para for transition at least

Could also try HLE FDD VBM but I wouldn’t expect much from it either

Might be time to get 1800 and sleep

[earnest pewter]

chat may i ask for help

[shell basin]

Yes

Don’t ask to ask, just let us know what we can help with

[earnest pewter]

so i just went over pings and saw that its better to restart than play on a returnee account

[shell basin]

Depends on what the returnee account has but often times yeah

[earnest pewter]

the problem is that I got the new ely suit (i hope they're called suits) in the free 10 pull

i have no other s ranks except for a theresa from standard and HoV

[shell basin]

Do you have any other part 2 battlesuits? What is your crystal count and dorm levels? What story progress are you at?

Also, do you have any meta goals or are you just trying to collect characters?

[earnest pewter]

i have VBS

and i think thats it when it comes to p2

[earnest pewter]

i have 38 crystals a level 9 dorm

[shell basin]

I would guess that it’s better for you to restart but not enormously better unless you’re willing to reroll; other decisions depend on the answers to other questions

Hmm. So basically nothing on this account other than HLE but you have HLE

[glad ice]

vbs is the worst p2 char tbh

[shell basin]

Yeah if you’re willing to reroll it’s better to restart, if you aren’t willing to reroll it’s pretty close

[earnest pewter]

i also have HoHE(?)

from the 3 day login thing

[shell basin]

She’s free this patch yeah any account would have her

If you want to stick with this, your goal is to grind out story to try to get HLE weapon before banner goes away

And get Valkyrie blastmetal from part 2 story

And then you have a cope team and can save for next patch

[earnest pewter]

is that not vbs

forgive my awful terminology

[shell basin]

That’s VBM

VBS is Boltstorm

The mini helia

[earnest pewter]

i may or may not have misread

yeah i have vbm not vbs

[shell basin]

If you keep this account your team for the next 5 weeks will be Hi Love Elf, Valkyrie Blastmetal, Reverist Calico; you want to try to get HLE weapon (top priority, you don’t have much time) while slowly ranking up Valkyrie Blastmetal to SSS and Reverist Calico to S in the asterite shop

[earnest pewter]

how do i check my p1 story progress

[shell basin]

Attack->story. You probably won’t be very far

The less far the better because it means you have more 1 time crystals left

[earnest pewter]
