You’ll want to start with PS to drop the hitcount asap, do her full combo even tho that’s normally a dps thing. It’ll be a 2 SO run, 3 possible with ranked chenchen. Before you SO go to PS to get bleed up, in general you want to keep bleed up constantly if you can
😭 my bad. I was building pity
I wanted to get the elysia weapon asap
this isn't a game where you want to build pity
That one. I felt PS bleed goes down kinda quickly, except in HLE astral burst (i bet it's akind of status freeze or time freeze)
I will remember that now
is she considered a good unit? and can I use her with elysia
u get what u see, whatever pulls u risk costs you what youll get
just save the pulls when youre waiting for something
Yeah if you can’t keep up the bleed PS dps prolly better
okay. I will save it for a new himeko or mobius
If you have FDD make sure you include her
Wait i use PA (the helia cyborg). I'll keept it in mind
Not the worst pick but she’s type countered and PS can do the HC stuff fairly well solo
i dunno if well get that soon... but sure as you like
i assume youre a casual player? just pulling who you like?
She’s kind of cooked without her weapon but her weapon isn’t worth pulling. She can support both HLE and HoHE with Flawless Benediction (and HoHE can support her back) but is kind of mediocre in all cases
Better than not having a proper teammate but rarely BiS
oh well being new doesnt define if u wanna be meta or not
if youre only gonna pull new release that you like then its fine but please ask first
😭 Guess I wasted my luck on her
but if you want a good meta team then avoid reruns and check here if you should get the new release (mostly yes but you can ask based on your goals and pulls you can afford)
I will do that next time
is the battlesuit supply s rank always guaranteed to be the featured character?
yeah, no 50/50 here
yay!
same for gear if you wanna know
But real pity is 90. Also it just means more A rank shards...
but sig gear is important if you want the character to function properly
alternatives suck
that's nice. I'm too used to genshin pity system
yeah this game is different
can you help me build a team around elysia
i recommend not comparing theres a lot of differences
youre more than welcome to ask us and check all the guides in the pins
Not neseccary better than G-game, but different. You probably need 30k xtals to guarantee an S valkyrie, and 280 * 60 xtals to get weapon
(yes this is pity)
On one patch you may not pull at all.
noted
#👶beginner-help message general team suggestions for early game
the characters in there are farmable or you already have
the new p2 character you got (RS) she will use a character called VBm (a rank coralie) as a support)
third slot can be SI or TA when you get her
when using the trial character, you can have the charecter you got to support her if the game lets you
oh also because theres a lot of terms you wont know, use this https://honkaiimpact3.fandom.com/wiki/Glossary_of_Terms it shows the shortcuts and what they are, use the find in page feature in your browser
most of the characters you want for early game and the a rank coralie are in a shop called asterite shop, the a rank coralie is also free with her sig weapon in the part 2 story
i hope this info isnt a mouthful
And dont refer by person name.
Instead of Elysia, say sth like "Herrsher of Human" or "Hi, love elf". 2 different gameplay
ooh. Thank you. I'll check those out
quick question.wouldn't it be easier to call the character v1 v2 v3
version 1 2 3 etc. remember the full name is kind of hard
no
Eeeehhh.......no
Bronya has like 10 battlesuits so it would be a pain
no because certain characters have like 11 versions
not everyone remembers
😭 11 version is crazy
so we go by battlesuit names
also youll slowly remember the battlesuit names anyways
Also for both Elysias, we can debate they're from different stories But that's offtopic
ahh got it. yes it will take me sometime to remember it
and if you dont then check the Valkyrie page or google search or use the wiki
can even show us a picture
Yep. We're crazy. All of this is bronya

All outdated
the game can either give us characters that werent playable or another version (no they play differently) of an existing character
but regardless you wanna use the battlesuit name for them, rather than character name
for lore reasons you may have a leeway but might as well do the same to avoid confusion
I think im sleeping on this
550+ should be possible, I’m 575 in NA with DS and only 1400 atk
Up to you if you want to bother tho
Teri is what you want for PS dps
But you would want Chenchen (or failing that DS) for HLE
If you have a third LoA valk tho I would run PS dps, her and HLE are not too far apart normally and Teri is a big help
Lemme try, the type counter was big back then
#mt-countdown ignore me
The type counter is annoying but bleed up makes up for it
PS FDD Badum? Lemme try this comp first
That’s what I ran for 575 with DS
It was a 2 SO run, one before transition and one after
515 over here. Which is substantial but doesn’t explain 70 pts difference
Tho you’re still doing better than the one guy in my bracket with SS2 Sync 2 PS and SSS Teri but scoring lower than me
Uh, my tips are start with Badum combo, should begin around 85 and land at around 80, qtr wa ult FDD, go ps full combo to dps, but I assume you know that
So difference is in transition most likely, make sure you evade and then counterattack with PS so you can get the justice value up
What is a good character to have
New releases that still have all their shill ahead of them, mostly
There are plenty of backpulls that still have meta use but pretty much none of them are ever going to be as impactful as a new release, over the rest of their lifespan
That means Rita, in this case
Okay thanks
Helloes! Got a 573 here at a2 but curious if there's a better team
Also have HLE, SIMP, Sena, VBS, VBM
With no PS and no Luna that’s probably your best bet, type advantage and fast attacks
If you had Luna her + simp is bis tho
||does free Luna next patch do anything significant?||
Hmm... Maybe I'll just play it better, noticed I played quite not good in that run
tysm!!
||Almost certainly not at 0/4||
nah, just good to own in case she gets a dkey (not guaranteed to happen, people keep coping about it)
Okay, tysm peoples!
Happy new year
Hi, are the 460 crystals in P2 CH10 story time limited?
No, time limited content is in the event tab and all of the crystals are inside of the story chapter
THANKYOUUUU! Glad to know I can delay playing the CH10 till CH11 comes out the next patch.
Ok new player here i need tips and tricks and advice

Helloes!
How do you predownload on mobile?
is there any option in the bridge > ai phone > downloads menu?
it's been a while since i had to do this so i may not recall correctly. Can also try asking in #🔌technical-help
@kind cliff
Well there's this, but I think it's just previous events?
Ehh I'll just be patient, tysm either way!
yeah that's not it but i thought it would be there somewhere. Sorry.
who is that
No need to apologize, thank you still for the help 
||Luna kindred, you can look her up and stuff. I'm not sure if we can ttalk about it here without spoiler tags cause the new patch is still not out||
she look cool
wrong luna, also free luna was already announced
OH WAIT LMAO WRONG LUNA
I meant the vow one
Oh nice
Hi guys, just want to ask if BFD is the best support right now? My current lineup is Hi Elf and Lone Planet and SS Blastmetal. Looks like BFD is not going to drop her banner next update. I have enough crystals to pull her and her weapon. Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated :3
does the wishing system work the same as the other hoyo games (like genshin and hsr) with pity and 50/50s and all that? also is there a way to tell apart different wish rarities? like how in genshin when you get a 3 star the wish stays blue, 4 it turns purple, and 5 it turns gold?
even though fdd is a rather good support in the astral ring specialisations she can support the general recommendation is to still focus on newer releases instead of back pulling for the reason that are mentioned in the faq i'll link you in a second, in fdds case specially other supports aren't that far off when you compare their supportive compabilities so it's even less justifiable to backpull her
!faq backpull
Captain! Ai-chan can help! 
'Backpulling' refers to pulling a Valkyrie or her equipment (or both!) on a rerun instead of on her release.
For more information on why this is considered damaging to an account for Captains who want to pursue meta in the game, click [here](#👶beginner-help message)!
no 50/50's here
also there's no visual hint in the supply drop animation, there's a slight difference between getting an a rank or an s rank but it's such a split second thing that it's barely noticable
ohh okay!! tyyy :3
note that since the endgame is of competitive nature weapons are mandatory if you're goal is to be competitive
weapons are mandatory since it's always a rather huge damage and utility loss and sometimes a valk's gameplay is completly bricked without it
the damage loss is always ~20-30% in some cases it also may be up to 40%
ohhhh okk, im just casual but ill keep that in mind!
approaching this game from a casual perspective is completely fine in the end the goal is to have fun, just be sure to mention that you're rather casual when asking for advice since our standard is to give competetive advice. The reason of that being that abyss is a significant portion of your crystal income and with higher ranks comes higher rewards.
Should i prio leveling my stigs or weapons if I have limited resources? & which stig tmb is the best to level first?
ahh i see! alrightyy then! tysmm
generally weapon levels are more important since it increases the weapon's attack + passives by quite a bit.
In regards to stigmata it depends on generally you'd want to focus on T and B since those also provide attack while M often times does not, though sometimes M stigmatas also have attack as a base stat ( that hasn't been the case for a pretty long time)
!faq coin
I'm here to help, Captain! 
To save coins, upgrade your (M) Stigma to 5-star, and leave it unlevelled at Lv. 1/50!
Why? Because there is no damage loss doing so!
(See image below)
You'll save a chunk of coins and twin soul crystals, which can be used for upgrading other equipment!
NOTE: This does not apply to all (M) Stigmata, [click here](#👶beginner-help message) for a more detailed explanation!
also since you mentioned being rather short on resources give this a read
Thank you very much
I noticed m does not have atk so yeah I figured at least that one isnt as important first
i'd still level all of the stigmata to level rather simultaneously so get all to level 40/45/50 since the passives are normally also quite helpful, though again this depends on the set itself sometimes some passives are also not that usefull
Should I also prio level stigs for my supports? I usually use thel, fdd, vbm as supports
Hohe & hle are my main dps so I've been prio theirs
Crit stat still only apply to phys valks right?
I tried to type ty with emojis, we got mpreg instead
i wouldn't over invest into a lot of characters at once especially with prisms since they're a rather limited resource, i'd focus on HLE -> fdd for now but if you're planning on pulling rita maybe safe some of those prisms since you'd also want to level/craft her stigmatas
Yeah I do plan to pull her
Thank you for the advice
np generally the idea is to focus on newer valks since they would see more usage now and in the future. I wouldnt bother with levelling some of the stigmat's from the "older" valks for now, especially if all of the valks you mentioned already have their signature stigmata set
though note that you'd never actually use a Crit rate affix even on a physical char
crit rate affixes also aren't actually crit rate but rather provide CRIT which is part of the formular to calculate crit rate, because of that the increase is so small that it's actually never really worth it
a lot of newer physical valks also have implemented crit rate buffs for at least some attacks
does powered duo give any crystals
I see ty
ughh 5 hours of waiting
*if I'm in desperate need of affixes, I can safely roll for atk affixes for any valk right?
for any p2 valks yeah, theoretically there have been some niche new cases for other affixes and physical valks do appreciate a few CDMG lines but overall atk is always a safe option
Is it worth buying the atk affix thingies using g2 mirage drops?
for RL any below they're kinda handy since you never really need to worry about your affixes that much if you just use one of those but if you're interested in higher ranks the attack that they provide isnt enough, also make sure that you don't need something else from mirage like bounty weapons for weapon resonance to buy judah or pledge of sakura. Generally i'd rather lean towards just rerolling affixes normally but tbh it's up to you really
I think its g3 and nope, save those for dkeys or possible to get more green things for missing stigma
Alright, thank you very much peoples! Have a great day
Oh that's a cat eating a mango
A christmas mango
So a cat is eating you?
technically
and the mango is also a bird
Ooh my goooooood
DAMN IT, i just finished under the fading light mission and i was about to claim rewards but server went under maintenance, is tbere anything i can do or am i screwed
is there already a timeline for a whole patch like whose valk will have rerun?
yes in #💁gameplay-help and #🔮cn-gameplay-discussion pins
we don't have the whole timline yet though since CN also isnt completely done with the patch but yeah the pinned schedules are what we know RN
yeah
it will be updated as well
When is the maintenance over? I can’t find any pins or anything
Tyy
I thought mt happens on thursays?
Did i missed anything or im forgetting things?
I remember it was thursday last patch
they just want to not do work on first day of new years
Oh that makes sense 
started last patch, i’ve been recommended to pull units now to have coverage, but i’ve also heard pulling rita can be a bad pull for my new account since her niche might die out, so idk what to do
should i just pull or not?
as long as you can still pull 8.7 rita is good
but if that's at all in question, skip
how much of a xtal influx in cny patch?
i should have atleast 80k xtal in total by then with just normal content (not including rita pulls)
i think you can get like 15 more pulls from major patches as freebies but keep in mind they're not given on day one
heck i remember once it was given after the main supply was over
you usually spend 30k by average on a valk + weapon, so having 80k is very comfy and if you get lucky you get even more
worse case scenario you need 40k on valk and weapon
alright then i guess ill just pull and worry after
i’ve heard hle and me can be played together, is that correct?
rita is like any other unit she'll stay meta for a good chunk of time so yeah
although we haven't seen p2 powercreep yet but part 1 valkd with less versatility took 2 years by average
HLE supporting ME, yes
ME supporting HLE, no
okay, and who would be in the last slot?
the main concern about skipping Rita isn't her overall value but people not having enough income for cny and cny and annis are a big deal
vbm
unless you have another part 2 valk
sounds fair enough, tho my account is still very new so xtal sources are pretty much everywhere
i remember you have jds, she can be the third slot for rita dps team
i do have jds just not weapon
she can support fine
Has the CNY valk been revealed?
nope
would be better than vbm?
Awe big sad
yes for rita dps
but for HLE no because jds doesn't have the tag to support her
vbm got RoO which is the filler slot for any astra ring if you lack better options
also if without hle and vbm who would be on the last slot (if i wanted to use vbm and hle on another team for sth like MA)?
hmm would be tricky because you don't have enough units
probably rita + jds + any part 1 support for one team and hle + vbm + part 1 support for another
supports you can use like RC and TA and SI
hmm yeah then RC with hle
doesn't have the rings either
she does have lighting buffs that rita can use but i don't know if its worth the coins to level and stuff
alright ty, ill go pull and brb to report and decide how to go forth
is it worth getting the new rita battlesuit? im a new player
alright @shadow gyro got her in 30 pulls and weapon in 50 (along with 3 sets of stigs but that’s normal right? :aware:) i have 15k xtal leftover, should i be fine?
did you do a lot of progress in terms of story?
yess you'll be fine!
also congrats!
also getting stigs is normal because they have high rates
im currently in this part of the story
not bad, you can start with the discounted at least
you can still pull her and weapon granted you grind this patch incase we get cny news
fixed a typo
does she work well with hle?
hle can support her and she's pretty good as her support
great! do i just salvage the extra pieces like i did with hle’s stigs?
not the other way around though
any dupes you have you can salvage
should i pri-arm weapon aswell?
also is this battlesuit relevant?
definitely don't skip the missions but not unless they give her a dkey
Uhm, hello, may I ask, is this Homu Ticket connected to the Homu Ticket I have on real game?
Nope those are separate
Ahh, i see. How do i got that many? HAHAH- I didn't even know- 😆
Simp isnt summon stuff???
It auto claims them if you log into the game and have DC open if you've connected your account with DC
ok so im kind of torn on whether to pull rita, basically only pro i can think of is that i wouldn't have to play rc support but that is a pretty huge pro
Nope
The only summon p2 valk currently is Horb + dkey
aiming for nirv as f2p eventually so gonna need to save for an op in 1-2 rings
I see. Thanks thanks bro- ~
Tbh just from context I assume that this is some kind of alt and if you're in an early state without any real coverage I don't really see why you shouldn't pull her
- your 8.7 pulls aren't really in danger due to left over one time crystals sources
- your abyss performance will increase therefore also your crystal income
- that account I also no where in the situation to even think of aops for now and you can start thinking of them once they actually start to become the bottleneck to stay in nirv
what is the rotation for me hle jds?
basically my thoughts are img is not really known for brute forcing well, 8.7 isnt guaranteed to have hss, it might have a dkey which i would rather have, and i don't really have the luxury to wait until ops become relevant to start saving for them since it's very likely i would be forced to skip a better valk at that point
also i dont want to play story
if i get rita i feel like since i dont have anyone for her to support by the time the next hss rolls around she's not gonna be relevant
Is miss espionage good for a returnee player? I don't have any part 2 characters so I kinda want to roll for her for.
Don't you have hle
yeah
She's hss
i mean it's a full p2 team but vbm is not the greatest
i just dont want to trade abyss not sucking for a patch for long term development
Yeah WoD is still one of the rings where it's fine tbh, though I get the other concerns you had. I'm not totally opposed to the idea of just waiting for some CN news and then decide how you should go on
I would do at least the discounted though
yeah i did the discounted and didn't get her
and obviously i cant do something like build pity and see if i get her early since next patch is likely spending
A decent amount of her coverage lies in her supportive capabilities as a WoD support and you won't really be able to utilize that at all. Also with that crystal count pulling her would probably risk your 8.7 funds and 8.7 is expected to have a rather good valk since it's CNY. So I'd rather not recommend her for you
Also depending on your goals in this game you could also consider restarting but that's really up to you recovering old accounts is possible it just takes time.
Yeah I'd just wait for CN news on 8.7 and then decide tbh
is rita still atk affixes?
yes
Should I just use the same team?
PS Badum Vita, Badum PS Vita, HLE PS Badum all score similarly. Not amazingly for any of them, but like. If you have Chenxue I would try HLE dps, otherwise low confidence guess is that PS will score a little better
but we're talking like 600ish points for any of them
When will the pulling guide appear
is it just do the discounted 10 pull if you don't have enough funds
yes just do the discount and skip if you don't have enough for valk and weapon together early in the patch
unless you have already built alot of pity and don't want to risk having it reset on a "lucky" rita with the discount, especially if you cannot afford the weapon early
for fresh players, getting the new release early in the patch isn't as important so they can aim to complete her before her banner leaves
is this supposed to happen
how do i do the twitchf drop
Is rita worth pulling if I already have mini dudu?
- They have different coverages (because most of RS's weathers are Phys, which has -50% Lightning DMG)
- Rita is an upgrade for RS DPS
- It depends on what P2 valks you have and whether you'll be able to afford 8.7 (keep in mind that it's expected to have 2 gear sets instead of the usual 1)
wait do we alr have 8.7 info?
I have 40k left, pity at 24. I’m missing theresa and sparkle for p2 characters
Not yet, we only know that it's CNY
Jan 8-9 I think is the teaser?
ah
Go ahead then
Assuming all of your P2 chars have their weaps ofc
I was wondering if rita was worth it, since it’s expensive now. Everyone is geared 4/4
Getting an S-rank + 4/4 is the cheapest it ever was xdd
Part 1 was expensive-
Yeah, but I’m worried about next patch if I can save enough
Absolutely
Need to get weap,too
Even if you go to hard pity on both you shouldn't really struggle
Keep in mind that CNY will likely have extra freebies
I see. Thank you for the insight
CNY is Glblul anniversary also 
I’ll just finish pulling since I’m already at it
I do find her animation pretty cool
I wanted to ask how hard is retaining rl if you skip a valk every now and then?
I remember it wasn’t too difficult but maybe things have changed
I’m in SEA server
Might have to eat -100 on some cycles, but other ones should more than compensate
With your roster you should be Nirv bouncing
I don’t invest in astral ops, so I sometimes get concerned
AOs matter only in Nirv
Using DS still
it seems like AOs have started to matter for RL +100 as well
at least chenxue
can still without, but it's harder now
Could be true for SEA ig
Still not worth investing into just for that reason though
agreed
i kinda need it for SO charges
Valks share Stellar Drains in WoD
You don't need to proc JDS's Stellar Drain on JDS specifically
You can do it on Rita
Just HLE WA + ult (turn off QTE to reduce Rita's swap CD) -> JDS QTE + ult (ult is purely for extra damage) -> Rita
ill try it out
should i pull? already did discount 10x and got nothing
No pity built on the weap banner I assume?
If yes, gotta wait for 8.7 info (most likely you'll skip unfortunately)
the top up event is just 3 stamps?
sth like this?
Ye
Keep in mind that HLE's weap needs to hit an enemy for the buffs to proc
Same for JDS's QTE
do i onfield me until i have 2 bars next to SO button or just activate it when possible?
Situational, depends on whether you wanna have max damage now or whether you'd wanna save it for later (like the next phase)
i do feel like my SO is charging quite slow tho
should i do anything different for me outside SO?
The speed is normal
The only way you could speed up charging SO is by evading attacks, and that is not always practical
It's a good thing to do in a transition, for example, but mid-fight it usually isn't
And pulling AOs ofc 
But that's not worth unless you frequently are in Nirv
What is the best team for the new event? Haven't been able to reach beyond 5th rank for 6 rounds
its alright to post an image of pulls here right? just trying to understand if i got everything
i got told to go for characters and weapons, not just character
yeah you just need char + weapon, dont need to pull anything else
stigmata are craftable
yeah and they said to save the box to fill out the last one i need
Is Rita leader good? Never been winning eith her as leader
Posting should be fine if you want someone to check
You're done
Don't even need the box
So the synergy is not really that crucial?
is there anything to do with extras? convert them into resources or something?
Matters only in Nirv
Can be converted into source prisms
Ah, not relevant for Eternal Agony
oooh
And is hella expensive, you wanna prioritize AOs if we're going above and beyond
Anywas, anybody?
(again, only for Nirv purposes)
Between Rita, Dudu and Haxor leader, whuch ine is good?
Unless it's a dkey, more debatable there
what kind of team is that
For the event
The new event
is that the autochess one
Ye
i ddint even get up to haxxor, i thought ur timegated
oh i prob skipped too fast then
Can't quickly find what suits the starting
i dont rmb shit
Guess i won't be able to get that badge then
worth it for the rita?
What is worth it?
maybe goon
my fav is kiana tho
lone destruction shadowchaser worth buying from bp shop?
Hello guys, just a question, for reserve works, prioritize the d-keys, right? like the abyss flower here, and FHD?
Yes, but both require a corresponding key crafted from foundry to give ATK Abyss and Fenghuang Pinions
ahh, you mean i need another one to activate it. gotcha. I have them crafted already. ~
yes
also she's not relevant unless she gets a new gear
but shes free and there's other benefits for getting a character so get her anyways
Man, 10 rounds and still can go beyong 5th rank in the event
Any suggestions what's a good team for it?
I've been spamming dkey team, works okay
Uhh there's D key team?
This is for the autochess team?
yeah
like, you pick up the dkey characters like teri, bronya, welt, sakura, etc
throw in horb with the dkey bond and such
Are there in the recommended team list?
should be
What's your leader btw? Haxor?
lots of leaders work for it, my most recent run I did rita and it worked fine
its a question of assembling teams and picking the right gear more than leaders
hello is new vita worth pulling ?
Depends on what P2 valks you have and whether you can afford 8.7 after getting her
well all p2 valks i already have
As a DPS ranked trio can compete on most weathers but we’re talking significant ranks here. She’s a BiS support for ~all WoD teams but not so much so other Valkyries can’t compete, especially outside of nirv. If you could get either her or 8.7 I would save for 8.7 prolly but if you can afford both by all means
is lv or dsa stamps worth buying with starshards
Neither are hugely impactful. Sena is basically dead as a dps, and her first support buff is at like SS1 or something, while Luna has maybe 1 or 2 more abysses left period. Some people are theorizing Luna might get a dkey in which case her stamps would be a solid pick but there's no confirmation on it and I can't advise it until we know more.
if your sena is already heavily ranked you could consider stamping her up to a threshold, otherwise I would probably wait and see
rita really hits kinda hard
does badum need her weapon if ur only playing her as a support
nah
not a big support loss without weap too
what weap would you put her on instead then
anything, i mean it doesnt matter, just give her the highest atk weap you have
you can like cope with eop if you want to
Eden's gun is not bad, team buff + ult buff (if u have SP)
what abt hofi old weap or is that worse than eop
it doesnt really matter
her support capabilites doesnt fall off that much without her weap
its like 2-4% or smt its really small
btw how many ranks are we talking for trio? 9s?
Her first support buff that actually matters is at SSS
(and it's minor too)
(didn't wanna ping)
SS1 is a support buff for WS
Which ain't happening ofc
u be using it for rita dps
She's WoD tho
best affixes for rita?
ATK
like usual then ig
Ye
yeah forgot 
is it worth to get lantern's weapon, i do kinda want to get thelema too. or should i spend them on another item?
here are my valks
I thought that was what I remembered from returnee alts, but the returnee banner on the alt that's active now just changed from lantern to songque (jds)
anything i should change here rotation wise?
lamp is too meh at this point to care about her but if you want her to feel useful then get it
as for thelema she's a bit more useful but it will take you a while to get her and her weapon so i don't know if the wait is worth it when we're getting wod supports that are too good to get
Hello so i just returned to the game after a while and all i have is vita (with weapon), songque (with weapon) and lantern (without weapon), should i pull for anything specific?
nothing stands out for me for the supports, it seems you know them pretty well
there's probably adjustments to be made on rita herself but i can't say when i have low knowledge about her
i might have tried seeing if switched qte's between the characters at first instead of strictly using rita would have caused clearing the hitcount faster but i can't try right now im not home
the last part could have not needed jds since you just need fast attack and jds kinda wasted a bit of time since you couldn't switch back to rita quickly
don't feel disappointed about this boss tho, best team alternative that doesn't use its bis valk scores like 150-200 scores lower in exalted red lotus
to stellar outbursts will low damage is also normal, usually with the right team you only need one
the only problem im having currently i feel like is i’m spending too much time outside of SO comparing to being inside it
it feels as though i was dragging ME fieldtime a bit too long
is cutting it short and refresh buffs gonna be better?
also another problem is when i hle wa ult > jds qte ult i wont have cooldown to qte to rita (i tried to dodge that in the run but u can tell for the last rotation)
should i just stay on hle and do sth like wa ult n5 ult > jds?
for the last rot you should prob just stay on rita instead of switching
that small amount of hp wont give you enough time for you to do a full buffing rot with hle song
There is not an particularly large value differences between valks so value new valk + weapon as highest priority. @wind stag No reason to backpull when you can't afford anything new anyways and you have the support options to make use of the newest valk who just released today, but you may want to wait for next patch if you reserves are empty
can't one just pull every valk on release? why do you recommend him to skip rita? (sorry if noob question
)
- 8.7 is expected to have 2 gear sets
- Not really if F2P, the income is still a bit too low for that
what does 2 gear sets mean? like an update to old valks?
They are too broke rn, they won't be able to afford 8.7 if they pull rn
Yeah
These weaps also are Divine Keys, so you really don't wanna be skipping those if you're a competitive player
You get +10 passive acc-wide ATK for owning each one
(extra +5 for each Synergy on them too, but that's whale territory)
oh pulling dkey is a good deal? should i have pulled hohe dkey lol
On release it was considerable depending on your valks and crystals
After that no
when jizo matima pulls out the orb things, do i need to go for those first, or can i ignore them
@ancient needle if you don't mind me asking, should I also skip? I have 30k crystals and 30tickets >.< but it's pretty annoying to just brute force everything with Elysia, was hoping I can just get second unit during this patch
u need to kill blue orb to decrease his def

Can someone like me the valk abbreviation index
which one should i get? only showing these 2 because im kinda in need of fire and phy dps and because ely and rita are my top favs

It's in the pins too
She won't rerun in gacha atp
The next way to obtain her will be Reserve Works in 8.7-8.8
You should be good to go to pull her then imo
The reality is that neither of them will do much for you without the entire BiS team fully geared (and ideally with ranks)
by BiS team do you mean these?
No, these are extremely old recommendations (the second one is straight up wrong I think)
The BiS team for MPE would be HoRb (with old gear) + RS
For SpA it would be HoTr + Sparkle
Essentially not smth practical to obtain
what the fuck is that 2nd rec lmao
ik spa is old but no way she's so old that they have no one aside from wd as her support
MA was alr out
what was hoyo cooking godddamn
@frozen crypt we need to consult a fossil
What was SpA's BiS team on release
no way it was wd
les go
BD was generally better than WD, WD was cope or MA stuff
did RC exist when SPA came out?
I strongly recall using SPA AE RC
No, she was next patch
teammate said midven was out
But MA came out 3 patches before, ye
so probs ae ma?
yey hoyo is proving again, they’re still bad even back then
by RS do you mean reign solaris? if yes then damn i dont have a good team for MPE. i do have sparkle fully geared and HoTr with bad weapon lmao
they just put wd on there for shits and giggles
TA can be used instead of RS
you can reaplce RS with either TA or SI in that team
TA generally better
(SI will be worse than TA)
may i have the full name cause idk whos TA and SI 
theresa?

I'll spoonfeed you this once
Terminal Aide and Starry Impression 
but yeah the glossary is really useful for understanding wtf we are talking about
i knew there would be infos on the shortforms i just dk what to search
thankyou!!
i think ill get MPE’s weapon first. i’ll work on her team later
oh this will be harder than i thought 💀
she’s farmable in the asterites shop
quite easy to get so dont worry
oh!!! yeay!
damn you been hoarding them ast
yea cause idk who or what exactly to spend on depending on what i need
there is a guide in pins
you’ve been here for like 2 years and you’ve never asked here or in any hi3 related channels?😭
btw @frozen crypt shouldnt the 8.5 guide pin be down
mf i was searching ebay.com no wonder i couldnt find you
man dont do me like that HAHA cause i quit quite early before and had no idea where to ask or anything back then. im kinda restarting now
ikr
thats enough to fuel my rampant gambling addiction for awhile
last before i sleep : is there a link that has an updated recommendations of stigmas for each battlesuit?
if we’re talking actually relevant battlesuits then its literally just use their gacha gears that they released with
if its old suits then you just gotta ask us
for MPE is it still this?
yep
damn its not in foundry (dies again)
it is
it was released as a foundry stig set
OHHH wow its not shown when i filtered by valk
it's supposed to be getting updated lole
don't filter by valk
yeah dont do that, the feature is really bad
I just don't have anything to put in it cuz cay no time for guides this patch
sadge
ight thanks guys yall have been very helpful 
Hello, would the daily sign in would refresh? I already tried refreshing this page on my browser, but it just always says "Event has ended".
oh, someone already reported t on bug-report. ~
While this is highly speculated atm, there's no official info for now. All I can tell you is to keep an eye on #🔮cn-gameplay-discussion pins.
at worst can you try the hoyolab app? I don't think I can get this to work from ingame but I thought browser was fine.
heyy sorry if this is the wrong place for this kind of question; i was wondering if it was more worth it to buy a couple different bis weapons for my valkries with bp crystallum, buy stigma, or save for thelema and her bis? im not too hardcore of a player but i have a feeling weapons might be worth the most since thelema is so expensive.. looking for any insight!! thanks
it really depends on what you're looking for personally when meta isn't relevant to you, and what those weapons are. You'll need to tell me more
In general for most BiS weapons they are
- roughly 30-40% of the valk's personal damage. Every astral ring valk nowadays can be a dps or a support depending on how they are placed in the team. So not having the weapon means you don't really get to appreciate their dps role when competing against others.
- some valk's weapons gives them further utility that can be important for their gameplay flow or for certain strategies
thelema in particular suffers especially badly without her weapon. She loses 60% of her personal damage as a dps and alot of utility including time stop on ultimate, higher ARI regeneration on evading enemy attacks, some debuff on enemies when using her ult (there might be more. can check the last section of the HoHE vs HoTr guide in the pins i wrote)
@low niche
as much as i may say you're losing alot for thelema, don't get tunnel visioned. Even good meta scenarios to actually use thelema aren't as numerous nowadays as they used to be. It's largely fine to disregard her if you don't already have her well invested at this point and you may more consider spending your resources elsewhere. Granted anything in the bp is hardly relevant nowadays so it's more about what interests you personally.
ty for all the in depth info and quick reply i really appreciate the help!! i've narrowed it down between getting
- swallowtail phantasm's, stygian nymph's and argent knight's bis weapons
- sirin's stigma (i have her bis weap but no good stigma for her)
or 3. buying another bp and going for thelema and her bis
but honestly given what u've said i might go for thelema since most of my built chars are astral ring?
i currently have the means to get 30 crystallum without buying another bp
astral ring is the basis of modern team building nowadays so it would be the most relevant option so to speak (but again at this point thelema hardly is in the meta)
in the case of swallowtail, her signature weapon is undine but that should've been in a free weapon selector box you get as a beginner
however swallowtail is incredibly old that her actual bis weapon nowadays is different
i think this is SN's signature pri arm on swallowtail https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow0twhxnvdw (no thumbnail embed since it might be squeamish for some people)
for sirin's stigs, don't get them from reserve shop. They are craftable as g4 in foundry (little joy set)
there's no real right or wrong once you leave the considerations of meta. Just make sure you understand what your costs are and what you're getting out of them. As long as you understand and are having fun that's what matters
i'll be around for a bit longer so lmk any other non meta considerations you may have and i can try to answer with as much "fossil" knowledge as I can lol
also don't forget for casual intents and purposes, you do get to appreciate and play stuff you don't own with their tutorials in attack > events tab > tactics class
or in story/events
ohh alright, i've always kind of assumed the in-shop recommendations were a bit off or outdated HAHA glad that im wrong so i can get sirin's stigma in foundry
in game recommendations usually are questionable tbh
so feel free to doubt and ask about it more here
ohh okie tysm 🫡🫡 super helpful
i'm not sure what the inshop stuff you're mentioning are though
the value labels and percentages are usually pretty accurate
in the future, consider finding a way to take a direct screenshot with your device. Be careful of reflections or getting yourself dox'd in any way
maybe delete that image if it was taken hastily
for the foundry menu, don't use the valk by valk listings. That one omits alot of the menu that may be relevant
ah ok
access foundry via supply > foundry (lower left)
or via equipment > stig/weapon > forge
avoid clicking sort by equippers on the bottom left of the foundry menu
okk will keep this in mind, thanks!
there might be a recent bug to this. I'm seeing other users saying browser isn't working and hoyolab just now gave me an odd "event has ended" message.
oh people in the bug channel already stated all this. Sorry for the extra ping
been out since yesterday
oh lol ok then
Is there general advice on leveling stigmas? I have at least one of each after pulling on the Rita's weapon banner. Do I just level the stigmas even though they don't have affixes or useless affixes? Is it better to level a stigma with a useless affix than one without?
yeah just level the stigmas, affixes aren't that huge in this game like they are in other hoyo games
you can just reroll the affixes anyway
if you're too poor then level t and b to 50/50, keep m at 1/50, preferably you want to level up a stig with useless affixes so the affix slot is already unlocked so you dont have to do it, but you shouldnt really worry about affixing just yet as a new player, valk + gears and knowing how to rotate is more important
getting weapon plus all 3 stigmas are the most important part of building the character
more affixes is better but the resources it takes to get another affix slot is pretty low
also search faq affix
Ok thanks, is it better to level a stigma with no affix or one with a useless affix? For example this one is useless for her right?
me when im ignored
doesn't matter, you can change the affixes yourself
sorry lol, i was reading it in order
thanks, that's useful advice
Do we have new rita ER guide?
there's a rentry website for er, did u check it alr
It doesn't have Rita yet
I haven't
But ye, you can just wait until she appears there
It's pinned here
Guess I'll just wait miss esp er guide
Did they remove the HI3 Daily Sign in?
You mean the Hoyolab one? I don't think there were any announcements about that, so it could just be temporarily broken
this is what appears when I open it
Yeah, a lot of people have reported that
- if they truly decided to get rid of it they probably would've removed the option entirely
I see, Thanks.
@ancient needle @spiral badge happy new year!!
Ofc happy new year to everyone!
i have way too much ether fuel, what do i do with it?
first i'm hearing of this problem, you can farm stig/wep reso for when they add a char you want to gear to exchange shop
the affix stuff sucks
Do I try to pull Rita this patch? I have 20k and I don't have dudu, sparkle, theresa, lantern, shushang
did you do the discounted multi
yea i kinda went ham on trading for it now i have like 5k just sitting there
what is stig n wep reso?
currency for buying stigs and weapons from exchange shop
you get stig reso from g1s and wep reso from converting bounty weapons
Haven't
you have enough to afford it + her weapon if you get her, i wouldn't go past that though
i mean getting rita + 8.7 valk
If I'm not buying BP anytime soon or in the future, can I just go ahead and buy dkeys with the balls?
Yeah
Only other possibilities are ranks on stellar key Valkyries, like maybe if you didn’t have Rita and had ranked trio you could get more hofi ranks? But outside of that specific niche dkeys are going to be better than anything in reserve
Yyyaaayyy I can get an uwu
Hmm is that enough
is this different than the one ingame?
yes, the rewards from the hoyolab login is not as good
Yeah my gear rng is really bad
And it still fails
Hello everyone, im back after literally years with an acc that hasn't pulled anything yet, what should i do now ?
I got the deepspace senadia, magical girl sirin and herrsherr of the void kiana rn
I would generally recommend new valk + weapon and then do something like Miss Espionage, Sena,VBm
If you haven't pulled you should not have issues getting enough crystals to also afford valk next patch
@stiff talon
So pull the new one rn ?
Sorry, i was busy irl
It is fine.
Yes that is the general recommendation, for most patches you want to minimize times where you need to skip and always get new valk + weapon going
Powercreep here is that bad ? Or is it just more beneficial to have a lot of chars ? (Im here from hsr so im used to powercreep)
Fair enough, so basically u pull cause u have enough to pull anyway
ye and because powercreep is definitely a thing in this game
On some level yes, Abyss is made so that the new valk has about 25-33% of the total bosses each patch so not having them on their release patch means that you are in for a rough patch outside of that bosses are also generally given to newer valks so old valks slowly lose relevance.
The main thing to remember about this game is that the main format is competitive so you unlike HSR where you need to be faster then the timer set by the devs here you need to be faster then other people in the bracket so if any setup clears faster then yours you are losing.
How bad tho ? Cause im 100% certain my phainon will be nigh unusable at like 4.5 max in hsr
also pulling for a patch old valk is not a bad thing, its just that, why invest in something that has already been shilled when you can pull for the new debut valk that hoyo is hard shilling
Gotcha
2 year lifespan is decently reasonable but value decreases over time as the valk gets fewer and fewer bosses
I see
they dont become unusable basically, hoyo just systematically slowly phase them out of relevancy by deciding not to rerun their top 1 bosses and making newer valks that they cant support as well as other newer valks, the expected life span of a normal gacha base S rank valk is 1.5-2 years, sometimes more but it really depends on the valk and her kit
big patch valks (example: a valk released in anni or chinese new year) would usually be loved more by hoyo and given more shills
so they'd usually have a longer lifespan
That's good, thanks yall
One more question, do the endgames reward u fully get for clearing the level itself or for a spot on the leaderboard ?
btw after this 1.5-2 years mark, the valk is still usable, you can definitely still use her, but again, she is not as good as newer valks
both, for level 80 and below players its clearing the level in a set amount of time, for level 81+ players its fighting for a spot in the leaderboard
when you get to level 81+ the mode changes to the leaderboard style
both there are rewards for leaderboard too like top 100 and top 50 myriad
I see (i came here mainly for the story)
then you can just ignore the meta, i suggest having a dabble in it for fun, maybe you'll love it who knows
I heard theres a new elysia battlesuit. Is that the last patch or the next patch ?
last
we dont know any info about next patch yet
luna was loved 
I was late then, damn
the current patch we're in has been out for 1 day
Anyway, pulling it is
Holy crap my timing is impeccable
very loved considered how she still has that stupid fucking boss on her hands
lel
yeah and a patch is 9-10 weeks now
more than a month 
it do be long
we havent had a month long patch in years daniel
you dinosaur
There's nothing to do in hsr after the story and the version event, im basically logging in, doing my dailies on auto, then log out
smh
tbf that's hi3 too if you arent malding kek
Maybe do endgame after 2 week, clearing DU/CW weekly, then i log out
enjoy the story
I do be growing moss in hsr
Ngl same, i know tidbits abt the story and i want the yuri
The same goes for a large part of the hsr cast
typical hoyo
daniel can i borrow 120hz plz
I still cant get over that damn animated short with acheron and black swan
im -1 bc of schewpid low dmg and i think higher fps can fix it
i hate to interject but this isn't an HSR channel. If you want to continue talking about it, you may want to move to #off-topic-discussion
Ok i'll stop
while they are both from the same company, HI3 is a much older game. There will be similarities but I encourage you not to bring any logic from HSR into HI3. There are still differences within similar concepts that may end up with costly mistakes.
Youtube time, thanks for the help y'all
oh btw idk if you meant to say this like you're gonna watch a hi3 guide, i'd say that just take every guides on yt with a grain of salt
We were only talking abt the gay women tho...(i get your point and was getting self conscious abt getting sidetracked anyway)
still off topic and tbh even loosely speaking, there's a firm no story policy here
it's at the bottom of the pins
Fair enough, im off for real now tho
it's hardly story though so it's whatever really but this channel is for ingame help and guidance and such
I prefer to ask discord than yt anyway tbh
if you need further help, feel free to continue asking. Do check out the pins for tons of common info too
And this is why i prefer discord, pins are always helpful
thx for help
i literally cant never find ram's name
good luck finding some name with gpu too
i just buyed a new pc with more ram and better gpu for new year i hope it arrives soon 
hope you're living well without your liver and lungs
alright not to be a complete hypocrite, i think it's time we wrap up this bit and leave the channel free for other people actually looking for help to hop into later
errm ok hippo (okey bai imma lurk)
and on that note it's time for me to hop off too
still triches
does ME need s2 for RL retain and 2% MA or just kekvana ?
definitely not
ohmygosh henlo havent seen you in awhile
also s2 is overkill yeah, i recommend saving since next patch is cny which is definitely gonna be big
i got thema s2 should i get the 5 stamps to get her to SS? i think im gonna need to use her
to support rita
since i dont have vita
You have Sena HLE
That’s Rita’s BiS team
For most weather
Nah Sena takes zero field time and vita takes a bunch, and Rita is very greedy about field time
ok nice thanks ❤️
what if i dont have sardina
Vita or Thelema
Do you have any harmonized shadow star supports?
Dudu isn’t amazing but she can work, or lamp
Or I guess just which P2 battlesuits do you have
i only have hle and miss espionage and the a rank carolie and a rank helia
Well then it sounds like you’re using Rita HLE VBM
and songque with no weapon but ibdont think she'll be a fit
one piece at a time atleast
Sonkek with no weapon is probably at least sometimes better than VbM with wep
Will depend on the run and boss
And also what stigs you have for each

do you mean their signature stigs or specific ones
i have all of their signature stigs
Well for instance if VBM has tsiolkovsky and Sonkek has nothing that’s a big advantage towards VbM
i have songque's stigs but i havent fully leveled them up yet
I am not an expert at the exact tradeoffs between wepless sonkek WoD support and VBM WoD support, they’re both cope so you’ll probably have to test and it might not always be one
Could definitely be worse tho
okay
to have AR for HoHE do i need the new weapon and stig set or just the new stig set is fine?
You need weapon
The stigs are useless without weapon too
my my 
Worse than free options like Scott
so the main thing here is the weapon? if i have her new weapon but old sig stigs would it work too?
New weapon with old stigs is better than the reverse but if you get new weapon you can just craft new stigs even if you don’t get them for free while pulling
so on rita/hle/sena team i only rotate hle and rita for buffs? dont even qte or ult sena?
yes, maybe turn off sena qte so you can ult on her to finish killing a boss when its hp bar is low but this is super situational and not that common
ok thanks ❤️
so, how important are the affixes on Stigmata? like do they make any major difference or can i mostly ignore it?
they’re negligible unless you are trying to promote from redlotus to nirvana and/or retain nirvana/myriad (redlotus = second highest abyss rank, nirvana = highest abyss rank, myriad = seprate leaderboard of the top100 highest scoring players in abyss, abyss = qmanifold/superstring, qmani for level 80 and below players, superstring replaces qmani when you reach level 81+)
tbh i feel like even to retain redlotus its a must, i have all the affixes and still go agony III and redlotus a lot
but i also dont have all the bis teams
teams and rotations matter more than affixes imo
yeah im still missing 4 valks of p2 and some are still pretty relevant
so that doesnt help xD
hi guys do i try to get serapeum? i have almost 8k crystals left over and im debating whether to save them for next patch or pull
no, you don't need aops in anything other than nirvana and 8k crystals can't get you anything
just save for next patch
what team should i go for, im new here i cant build teams :(
how much did you spend on sena
what team should i go with her
vbs (don't swap to her) and the other one doesn't matter
depends what you need, witch orbs can be obtained from duplicate shards of valks who are the max rank
otherwise try to get as many valks to higher ranks for dorm level
ya and va act 1 are the best out of those
and vb
Is my hand slow? Or im doing something in my combo? I can't replicate the demonstration accurately. Please someone enlighten me. Thankyou
just realized i forgot to mention do not pull her weapon, generally it's required but sena is very old
The sequence requires reaching Surplus state
ok
And you alr reached it before trying the sequence
To reset that you need to SO
can you only get Weapon Resonance from maxed out 4stars? No way from 3stars?
u mean the blue weapon resonance u get from converting weapons_
yeah
u get them by converting Bounty weapons, go to the forge and use filter bounty weapons
any of those can be crafted
and then converted to get weapon resonance
u need to forge and convert 4 to buy the oath of judah if thats what ur looking for
yeah, thanks
whats the event point cap?
if you mean non emblem then it can go at least up to 20k
oh i just saw messages in gameplay help
Time to become a herrscher
it gives rewards ?
just the emblem, the daily shop currency, and the 10 clears for the luna event
the titles you see there are prob only for the event itself and won't last once it is in voyager log
Can someone go over how teambuilding works or make a team or two for me 😭 I've been casually playing this game a bit on and off but I got lucky and got the new character so I'm thinking abt getting into this game more seriously now
Match the team members' astral ring specialization with the leaders astra ring type.
(I.e. domain reso for world star)
How do you tell the astral ring type?
!faq attributes
Allow me to explain, Captain! 
"Attributes" refers to tags that every Part 2 Valkyrie has, allowing them to provide benefits for multiple Astral Ring Specializations. Each Valkyrie usually has more than one Attribute.
Each one of the Astral Ring types has one associated Attribute that will make a Valkyrie synergize well with that AR type.
These Attributes are:
- Domain Resonance (related to [World Star](#👶beginner-help message]))
- Omniscient Star (related to [Rite of Oblivion](#👶beginner-help message))
- Harmonized Shadow Star (related to [Wheel of Destiny](#👶beginner-help message))
- Heavenly Shift (related to [Law of Ascension](#👶beginner-help message))
- Symbiosis (related to [Grail of Infinitude](#👶beginner-help message))
Each Valkyrie that has the related attribute will be able to use the mechanics of that Specialization, but still wont have all property of the team leader. For example, Lone Planetfarer has Heavenly Shift, but when she is in a team with [LoA](#👶beginner-help message) she can perform a Super QTE, but wont have the timestop and spam animation unlike Peregrine Sword
each one has a different image in the selection screen
Yezzzzz look at the prof doing prof things
you cant see it in hoyolab
Tytyy 
UPDATE TO !FAQ DS HAS BEEN MADE, we are posting it in here so it appears for everyone when they search it
!faq ds
Dreamseeker (DS) — Overview
Dreamseeker is your default AstralOP and works equally well with all Ring types, making it a solid F2P choice; premium AstralOPs usually give bonuses for specific Ring specializations, so if you are not a nirvana player or don’t have one tailored to your Ring type, Dreamseeker is often the better pick. Before spending Crystals or money, check !faq gachaop — and if you’re unsure, ask a St. Freya Professor for guidance.
Ranks & Effects
S-Rank: Starts with 50 ARI, grants +12% TDM, and enemies take +3% TDT during SO.
SS-Rank: Enemies take +7% TDT during SO.
**SSS-Rank: **Typeless enemies take +5% TDT (mislabeled as “Non-elemental”), and your on-field Valkyrie restores 10 SP when SO triggers.
**Origin Chips: **unlocked by completing Part 2 — Ch.4 & Ch.10.
Name & Avatar Change (F/M)
You can change Dreamseeker’s name and avatar in Part 2 — Ch.1–3 “Tides of Times Gone By” (see !faq cof). Head to Antares Building → Dreamseeker’s Apartment → Smart Mirror — changes have a 4h cooldown.
Changes only apply in Ch.1–3, affecting appearance, voice, and dialogue.
Female DS becomes the default in the later chapters (Chapter 4 onwards).
Male DS can be used in other modes only while Ch.1–3 are the active Part 2 Chapters.
Returning to Ch.1–3 restores Male DS, but progressing forward reselects Female DS again.
Post-Ch.3 name changes can be done at Hyperion 11 → Work Bench.
its given as S rank, but can be ranked to SS by completing P2ch4
we are sorry for the slight screenclear
Wow john honkai the 3rd faq
what's the best line up for this event?
ive heard hacking assailt squad, but it depends more on if you are able to get it correct quicker
tbh rita is usually the go to option if she has a good trait like romantic waltz (lv + elysia combo totally not busted)
but ye, haxxor is also really good
If you can get all 11 tho…
!faq gachaop
NOO CAPTAIN! 
If you are a f2p meta player, you should not pull gacha AstralOps - only players who are retaining or trying to retain Nirvana should consider it if they have the funds (unlikely for f2p players).
Reasons:
- Dreamseeker is good enough despite being free.
- Too expensive, especially if they need SS (~20-30k
).
- AstralOps have the same cost as a gacha weapon, therefore pulling one may result in being unable to afford a Valkyrie's weapon down the line (for meta players, this means skipping said Valkyrie entirely).
- The damage and score increase they provide in Redlotus and below is often minimal and not needed to retain.
Sera needs to be SS right?
what signets does Rita use in ER?
Is there a command to see when maint start
S sera is sad yes
It’s in like 62 days
when i get 24, can i just get whatever i want out of this? is there anything worth it? otherwise i just want aponia
Yes, you can just get anything once you get 24 We usually reccomend grabbing divine keys, or ranks on dkey teams like trio or HoHe if you use them in abyss, but the difference is typically not enormous
Aponia in specific will probably enter the war treasury fairly soon though, smart odds is she’ll be added next time it updates
alright, i was planning on not buying her immedietly once i reach 24 anyways in case something really good came to bp works- so i will just wait for now
without the gloves bonus you arent getting to 11 unless rng is on your side
should i spend my asterites on ancient willpower?
also i was random pulling on ms espionage's banner since i had no pity and got her, the only astral ring character i have that works with her is coralie unless hohe counts (idk how to get her astral ring) what team can i use?
What part 2 Valkyries do you have and what does your crystals count look like
Oh I already decided not to go after her after I realized I had 500 crystals to my name
I'm trying to catch up with meta by going for valks and their weapons
Can't do that for her
I have valk blast metal, lantern, and shicksal imperative for p2
HoHE needs her (gacha only) weapon flawless benediction to get astral rings. You’ll want to run Miss Espionage, Valkyrie Blastmetal, and then a cope lightning support. Luna or HotR would work if you had their gear, but since you probably don’t you might want Golden Diva or Valkyrie Boltstorm or Reverist Calico or Terminal Aide
If you could afford Rita she would be a good dps for you (Espionage Lantern Simp) and also support lamp Dps but yeah you’re probably better off saving for next patch CNY. Especially since that way you don’t risk ending up risking wepless
ohh okay, ive got reverist calico and valkyrie boltstorm- do i need to get specific gear/stigmatas for them or should i just shove them on (base rank)
They’d be better off with gear but they work without it. Iirc VBS gives better buffs and can trigger stellar drain but RC is significantly faster
And their gear isn’t worth going out of your way for
Eg if you already have Rita stigs and tsiolkovsky and a lot of prisms spare you could craft Von Neumann for Boltstorm but those are both higher priority
In the mean time you can use some combination of Theresa Gluttony T + FHM MB, Rouald Amusen 3pc, or Ogier as cope options for them
Since those are all cheap
don't need to use it all up at once, you can get some and have spare asterites for other stuff like fragments and whatnot
there's a guide for that in pins
ohh okay
tsiolkovsky is? a stigmata set or
and yeah i have ritas stigs
Yeah, it’s Valkyrie Blastmetal’s signature stigma set
Craftable for 6x prisms and 1800 ether fuel
oh okay
It’s a solid buff to her as a support but upgrading gacha stigs is more important
so ill just focus on 50ing ritas set right?
Yeah
tysm for the help btw
No prob
whenever my application gets accepted
you applied?
Yeah a while back

is there a way to withdraw units ive used in MA? i did the 1st boss with 2 different teams without realizing it and it locked 5 of my characters lmao
Not other than waiting until next week
That’s what training mode is for but if you do a run normally you’re out of luck
If you need to clear the other bosses we can help figure out some cope options but I don’t know what you have to work with
How long does the Flourish shop last? (Last version’s wishful dreams event shop)
It’s still open & the currency is still obtainable
Is there a spending guide for these
the only general thing to consider from that shop is Oath of Judah cross weapon since it's a divine key for the dorm menu
Otherwise it's all full of old stuff that at this day and age sees no real use or are incredibly niche that you would have to be interested in that said niche to consider further
There’s nothing hugely valuable in exchange shop, other than oath of Judah. You can consider Mei pool party and Newt B say for stigs but they’re for niche Ma strats you might not have the roster for anyway
Same with schrodinger m, shennong T and kiana pool party t except those ones even more so
Can I buy Irene Adler? I just want to 4/4 old Rita for completion
isn't that also craftable in foundry as a g3?
Isn’t it craftable?
keep in mind each stig here costs 6k
Yeah. No need to go through exchange shop, foundry is ~always cheaper if it’s an option
i rather you keep some amount handy in case some niche someday does appeal to you
it's not easy/quick to accumulate these resources
irene is in foundry yea
the main way you get red resonances nowadays are from open world finalizations weekly
i kinda rather not mention this since i think these are too niche that some players may fixate on
some players do try to preemptively get them to try to cover for various cases but i consider this a strong misconception because
such cases may get obsolete or alternatives may exists, or new cases with completely different stigs may show up
and the actual pool of past cases is much much wider than just these
schro m sure, but i have not used kiana pool party t or shennong in forever, might as well forget it
wilde T, cleo M, zorro stuff, dirac b, if you want me to add more to the fire
i think cleo is in foundry actually. dirac too
but anyway just be wary of that
mei and newt i'm more fine with since they were originally so widely popularly used, so it's good to re-establish and reclarify they are niche now (in other words i do not think players should get them preemptively anymore)
actually schro m might as well be forgotten since basically no reason to expect new players to have any thing that can use those
yeah i don't agree with schro M for now because currently only HoO really uses it. She's on her way to fall off. She's holding on to some MA stuff but that isn't important
it's incredibly potent for sure but so are other things. Schro T used to be incredibly potent as well until HI3 changed to two phase fights
cez b is just better than newt right
no
numerically yes
but the conditions to trigger them leads to different use cases
can dump a newt on a support who has either atks off field or summons off field, or just go in and touch the enemy, but can't do that with cez b
but most cases that u use them now, u can use cez b there
but like flower, u would see most doing jst tm and newt b on eden and cez b on hoo for example
cez b is dependant on the character having a combo atk ye
most dmg this way for ss0 havers, and obviously can't dump cez b onto eden here
turg beach mei does less dmg
since beach mei won't last in p2
alright anyway this is too much digression for this channel into high level specific stuff
i already am trying to get JST, turg, mei, and newt off the fhm faq lol
is ded long time ago
btw what kind of completion are you seeking on fallen rosemary? Because her ideal gears isn't really irene nadler if you still want to use her. It can also vary depending on what kind of role you want her to be (dps or support)
but if you just...
- want it purely for a signature perspective
- don't ever see yourself dabbling with high meta/niche strats especially in arena (although it's a non zero possibility of it coming up in abyss too)
- want to rush for it rather than waiting for foundry resources
then i guess you can go for it
conservatively i still would recommend you to keep some handy. Some people can always change their minds later and i rather be flexible with your resources even if it's potentially never used
ik this isn't a good Segway in the convo but if i wanted to make my 2/4 SI 4/4 (moreso for completion purposes but i guess if i gear her SS MA team then ill use her) then would it be a good idea to get her missing stig (T piece) and wait for her weapon in exchange
(i have dkeys to farm in reserve works)
Well, I don't think SI will do much for you
so u mean get cez t in foundry?
yes
But if you wanna get that then that's the route
anything via foundry is kinda whatever, just do what u like imo
but gearing up prommy would help more prob
hmm alr, tbh im kinda bored of the gamr rn so i wann do side projects
the only thing is that i fear to level up the gear i get from side projects rn because i don't wanna be low on mats for new valks
avo tm
She's P2-only, useless as well
just make sure you keep some reserve resources handy is all i would add to this. Mainly 1200 ether fuel so you can craft 2 prism stigs if you really need to
rn plan for side projects plans is to get eop and maybe 4/4 si
but yeah i don't have any geared p1 valk (not including stellar key valks)
mhm noted, i have extra
but TA gear is only in reserve rn right?
i could probably also get sns wp from exchange if i have spare
but idk what gear she wants
i see bili bili vids use different copr stigs
and once u got avo tm u can use it for bunch of things
yeah nowadays i only used MEI stigs (TA sig) on carole to support TA lol
ohh
what about weapon?
it's kinda ironic
I thought sns stole ta stigs lel
that's what i said
Triple support wins again
suppose you get avo tm and then aponia from dorm, well then slop avo tm and whatever dmg b piece with rc sig, then she ready for ss assaka xd
there's more use case with avo tm
oh btw what about b piece
cez b?
Noot?
sure i can steal my cez b from si
for apo? all ur doing is an ult, so rather newt here xd
oh did u went for ely bow


too lazy to add rita in there btw, not that it matters for the context but
Synergy 3 Boltstorm where
when she's relevant
well I won't lie, im too lazy to click on the link in the first place, anyways the point is that i rather not go for cez t for si, since basically no usage other than to make cez tb for herself
alr
but you still suggest avo tm if i wanna go for p1 general stuff
yes
alr 👍
also like p1 thel for ss ma is a thing
