yeah but not a battlesuit unit that has its own skills and mechanics right?

battlesuit is 90 rolls at worst. Usually 85 with a patch discount

[sick pebble]

Outfit Gacha only takes 9600? That’s not that bad

[frozen crypt]

9600 is a shit ton of crystals

[lyric anvil]

That's full price

And what Lyo said

[gloomy acorn]

34 pulls ish is a lot

[lyric anvil]

Over half of a weapon

[sick pebble]

Maybe I have no idea how much a pull worth

[spiral badge]

it may seem relatively small compared to other things but beware if you're f2p and meta, your crystals are already busy and barely getting by with pulling most new releases

you have arguably no leftover spare room for reruns and outfits and such

[gloomy acorn]

The only time you can afford outfits without bricking assuming no mpass, bp, etc. is if you lucksacked a patch and got everything else early

One-time Crystal Sources

Ai-chan is here, Captain!

See the pins of beginner help for more guides!

[spiral badge]

maybe you can look through this to get an idea how available crystals are (first link are permanent that newer players rely on, second link are limited time that developed players are stuck with after exhausting the former)

[sick pebble]

Oh yea I just found my account
Didn’t expect to see myself still dwelling in chapter 20 tho

I should have around 10 chapters in part one, and everything in part 2 I guess…?

[clever plover]

Oof that timing is uggo

But then I had to play from the beginning cos no LITE

[spiral badge]

what valks does it have? (use the grid button at the bottom left of the valk menu. Sort by release preferably)

and tell us what are you specifically aiming to do in the game. I've been trying to advise on meta since that's what leads to crystal gain as well as focusing on new content

[spiral badge]

you will get lite next week at least

ok i hate to be abrupt but i do need to leave now

[clever plover]

Yep, I know

But I'm so glad muscle memory took over after a bit

[spiral badge]

be sure to check pins here for general info and feel free to keep asking questions for others to answer

[clever plover]

Should I hit the new banners or no? Cos I barely have maybe 2.9k crystals

[sick pebble]

barely anything

[shell basin]

that... could definitely be worse. You can make a whole team for sparkle, assuming she has gear

[sick pebble]

value of pi sparkle

[shell basin]

Hows your HLE gear then

[sick pebble]

I don’t want to suffer so much so maybe I’ll follow some kind of meta advices

[sick pebble]

I got her weapon and the stigs

[spiral badge]

Meta is not the only way to play the game. Story and events can be played with mostly just trials

But if you want to get most of the latest stuff and enjoy playing them well then sure

[sick pebble]

I wanna get to agony III

[spiral badge]

QT can help you from here. I do seriously have to go now sorry.

[shell basin]

then you're probably best off running HLE Vita VBM as your team, at least until you get another symbiosis battlesuit. Which is probably fine to stick around in A2 with, maybe bounce A3 occasionally. Ideally you would then pull new releases to expand coverage but I understand you want to grab an outfit instead?

[clever plover]

Also what was that about a free S rank

[sick pebble]

It’s alright, I appreciate your help

[shell basin]

there's a box later this patch, can choose any S rank up to hotr

[serene crystal]

Yes, if our goal is A3 then we should be skipping outfit and try to get XDC or LV dkey this patch.

[sick pebble]

Hmm yea maybe I should do that instead

I can’t guarantee to get XDC battle suit tho

[shell basin]

can also try to grab FDD from the carnival gacha next week, which will help HLE dps a lot and unlock vita dps for you

only spend the 20 free pulls tho

[sick pebble]

ahh okay thanks

[clever plover]

up to herrscher of... the upgraded HoR? Am I remembering correctly?

[shell basin]

up to herrscher of truth bronya yes

[sick pebble]

I already have one of that box. Who should I pick if they all aren’t really that usable?

[serene crystal]

Lv dkey is within reach at least as that is also GoI support

[clever plover]

Ah. I have her already :p and the original herrscher trio

[shell basin]

Since none of them are especially useful you can pick someone you don't have for elysian realm crystals unlocks. ||There's also some speculation from #🔮cn-gameplay-discussion that we might get a dkey next patch tho so you might want to save it until we learn more||

[serene crystal]

Though look again at how resources look after getting some of the one-time crystals.

[shell basin]

yeah better to get your one time crystals and do free carnival pulls and then come back and plan

no point in finalizing decision early when new info would change it

[sick pebble]

a cheaper alternative, that is kind of hard to choose

but I do not have good stig for lunar vow to begin with

[maiden garden]

You can always craft her new stigs no?

[serene crystal]

She needs new stigs anyway.

Old stigs do not work with her new weapon.

[mental python]

Just got this weapon for Luna and I was wondering what am I supposed to do do I ignore that tune button and upgrade normally ?

[quick birch]

!faq tune

[small willow]

Should I "Tune"?

Sorry for the confusion, Captain!

The warning that appears for tuning is translated poorly. Tuning a weapon turns it into a [Divine Key](#👶beginner-help message) - the warning tries to tell you that...

When tuned, the weapon:

• Cannot be salvaged.
• Cannot be used to craft a PRI-ARM that is not its own.
• Can be used to craft its respective PRI-ARM.
• Gives you Divine Key bonuses such as +10 accountwide attack (see the Divine Keys Menu).

-# Please note that if you pull multiple copies of a Stellar Key (Part 2 Divine Key) you tune the one you will be upgrading - note that locked copies cannot be used to upgrade its Synergy level until unlocked, which takes 24h.

See the pins of beginner help for more guides!

[quick birch]

Tldr tune it

[shell basin]

tube it indeed

[quick birch]

[mental python]

Oh I thought it can’t be used for pri arms in general 🤣 now that makes more sense

[quick birch]

Yeah the warning is a bit confusing lmao

[slim blaze]

well

the warning is out dated]

[rotund roost]

can salvage these right?

They're extras

[shadow gyro]

any dupes yeah

[royal crag]

dk if ts the right chat but new player here whats the difference between these 2

Hi, which team would be suitable for Swallowtail Phantasm on a beginner account?

[serene crystal]

Terminal Aide,Reverist Calico as support is probably what you want to go for.

[full terrace]

with this build?

[serene crystal]

No you want Marco polo on SP if you want to use her as dps.

[full terrace]

Okay! Which build can I use on Terminal Aide?

[serene crystal]

Theresa:origins TMB should work fine.

[full terrace]

thanks

[frozen crypt]

you can use that build on TA but you'd want to replace SP with SI

See pins for an overview over XDC

[quick brook]

aight

[eternal spindle]

so i shouldnt use lunar vow?

[serene crystal]

Do you have pact of companionship?

Because it doesn't look like it from the screenshot you sent.

[eternal spindle]

the weapon? i should be able to get it after doing a bit of ER grind

[quick brook]

OH SHIT I FORGOT ABOUT LUNA

[serene crystal]

[gloomy acorn]

Oghei

[gloomy acorn]

That's +1 potential score gap

[lone crater]

show source chief

i just did quick search and one 836 was also fdd

im stuck with ely tho cuz s0+1 fdd is just not real

+2 is monkaS tho, thats just how it is with cora syn

[gloomy acorn]

Oh ok so I still run ely

[lone crater]

yea probs, and dont u get like more ari or something being ss, at least thats what i noticed when she is lead, idk about support

[gloomy acorn]

I think lead only

and only for first SO

[lone crater]

ah welp at least s1 buff is still nice

it beats s0+1 fdd but loses to s0+2 fdd lel

[gloomy acorn]

🥀

[lone crater]

actually s1 i forgot if it even buffs grail

or is it pure wod

[gloomy acorn]

Let me check

[lone crater]

maybe there's tdm somewhere else between s1 and s2

but anyways for me personally i tested both and my ely does more dmg than cora

[gloomy acorn]

WoD only for S1 astral ring buff

[lone crater]

does s2 give any team buff

[gloomy acorn]

[turbid bane]

Guys how can I get the 40 pulls for free??

[serene crystal]

It is distributed over the entire patch, there is no place where you get 40 pulls.

[turbid bane]

Aha
I thought they were free but thx for the clarification

[boreal prism]

Are elfs good for anything? They're really cute and I wanna get one

[shell basin]

Kiaelf has some niche over Dreamseeker starting at 3*

And then Elysia elf and project bunny are a bit less general but still technically have their advantages

[frozen crypt]

Doesn't 2☆ Fuxi have force qte

[gloomy acorn]

Issit tied to a condition?

I forgot but I only own Fuxi 2☆ and I have made use of her a few times

[gloomy acorn]

Oh, is it forced qte but no switch cd?

[frozen crypt]

Yes

[gloomy acorn]

Oh ok that makes sense

[frozen crypt]

Klein was the first switch cd elf

[gloomy acorn]

I rmb klein being hyped back then because forced qte + swith cd

[frozen crypt]

Yeah it was gamechanging

For any lurkers, neither of these ELFs are recommended now I think Klein is only relevant for hyper specific strats which often have alternatives anyway

[gloomy acorn]

Forced qte also only on klein3

[frozen crypt]

Yepyep

[zenith vale]

if i have limited resources and can only prioritize 1 part of the stigmata for lunar vow, do i max out T first or B?

[shell basin]

T maxes out at 22 more attack than B but most of that bonus is already going to exist at 45

So it’s probably not enormously different

[zenith vale]

okay so it doesnt matter then, thanks!!

[floral cipher]

is there anything worth picking in here

[spiral badge]

not really for now and prob not in the future but ultimately there can always exist weird exceptions. The box is also unique and some people may want to keep it for collection. Otherwise it can be a stepping stone for weapon resonances for judah in exchange if you don't have it yet

i can tell you how these weapons were significant in the past if you're interested

[boreal prism]

Are these teams ok? I made sure all their blue things were glowing

[gloomy acorn]

Was star shatterer vikrant ever used for anything

[spiral badge]

yeah it was on Drive Kometa for a passive phys buff

[serene crystal]

Run XDC with PAWS instead of VBm

[spiral badge]

idk how significant it was but it helped i'm sure

[gloomy acorn]

[serene crystal]

also don't trust the glow

[spiral badge]

the glow mainly is just tell you if they activate the leader skills but this glow also applies for Rite of Oblivion supports even if they don't match your leader properly

Also the game is just buggy and sometimes the glow happens for units that don't make sense at all

!faq ring

[small willow]

Astral Ring and Specializations

Allow me to explain, Captain!

Click here to view a list of Astral Ring Specializations, Tags, and the Valkyries protected by them!

Characters under the Astral Ring System will have one ring type (Specialization), and one or multiple tags (Attributes) that will determine how they can form teams. This system is only activated if a Character with Astral Ring is set as the leader. When activated:

• the leader's ring type will decide the team's playstyle.
• the team will benefit from effects (e.g., Stigmata buffs) that require Astral Ring.
• the team will gain access to Stellar Outburst, a high damage output state you can enter after charging enough energy (Astral Ring Intensity).

PAWS= Planar Armament: Warped Spacetime

[boreal prism]

Tyty

[spiral badge]

Shessair wrote it better than me so i'll just delete mine

[boreal prism]

Who should I put in the third slot?

[shell basin]

HLE

HoHE is okay but worse

Not sparkle

[spiral badge]

To demonstrate a specific example from you:

Leader > look at ring type
Support > look at tag. Helps with the gimmicks of the ring type playstyle

Rita > Wheel of Destiny. (This matches with Harmonized Shadow Star)

• Both Elysia and Thelema have Shadow Star tags
• Shadow star gives you an extended duration of the special effect that happens when you call a support in outburst. This specific effect is called rondo and causes you to stack faster and deal more damage with phantoms as you attack. Every ring type has a different gimmick.
• Alot of newer players think they should just use three of the same ring type, and this technically works but also is neglecting other options. You can see here that Elysia fits in the team even though she's not wheel of destiny ring type.

[shell basin]

HLE > paws > HoHE for Mei

[spiral badge]

So XDC Mei is a grail ring type. This particular ring type wants tags called symbiosis

You can use the bottom left button to filter for symbiosis valks specifically

Grail ring type revolves around using ultimate attacks which costs sp. Symbiosis supports help by restoring tremendous sp during outburst.

[boreal prism]

Icic ty

[spiral badge]

please review the faq earlier in detail. This sort of process and understanding is very foundational. And feel free to ask if you still need help

[boreal prism]

I'll read the FAQ later when I have time; for now would these be alright if I needed three separate teams?

[shadow gyro]

for memorial arena purposes it would depend on the dps so i wouldnt think too much about this part
for now whats important is to know how to match rings for each dps

so if u have to run any as dps you know how

[boreal prism]

Alright thanks

[spiral badge]

Undine's Tale - Swallowtail Seele's signature and best weapon until PtAch (SN) PRI ARM was released. PI Rita also used it for some SS Hellmaru strat.

Eos Gloria - VG's signature. Seems DA's sig is better now? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eM24WpMLbY

Vikrant - main thing about this is the Team deals 9% (15% at 5★) bonus Total DMG against weakened enemies. which DK can apply on tap. I said earlier to @gloomy acorn it buffs phys passively but i guess this is wrong and i misremembered the details. Weapon active also weakens but idr how useful this was with its animation time. The move slow sounds potent for sounds conditional but nothing really comes to mind.

Mjolnir - one of the premium ways to apply impair back then. You see it on all sorts of kiana valks for physical teams including kmb, dp, hov. 80% impair is quite high (HoS and HoRb were 75% while DP was 50% iirc) but it doesn't last long. Idr if this was extendable with time fracture. Dirac 3pc was available for impair but not applicable to everyone. Eventually we got HoS and Brieaus Ex to help with impair applying though.

Skoll and Hati - i think this was NS' signature? But NS had various alternatives like Senti's DoS or Nuada as a stat stick later on. Weapon active can hit enemy entities even after they lost all their hp, which was key to despawning them faster for higher sim battle scores.

Swan Lake - BB Liliya signature. An alternative method to crafting FTDelta's Pri arm.

Florid - FS Yae's signature. Notable for clearing some variant of Rimestar's intermission crystals, although aiming it was kinda annoying to hit all three.

Blood Embrace - LK's signature until Hekate PRI arm for TP came along (or maybe the non pri arm version too? idr) LK also can opt to use Judah for a weird bio type lightning dps despite her phys typing.

I wasn't as meta as a player back then so i may have missed something. I can also try to dig up videos of some of these too. @shell basin

I couldn't find anything for Skoll in Sim battle. Maybe wottle knows since he's a bit of a sim battle enthusiast. EDIT: wottle came through lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdJ9RhL9xNY
https://youtu.be/jjmovMDTa5A
Neither of these truly needs Skoll and Hati at this point.

Thank

[spiral badge]

not for new player considerations

[spiral badge]

for new players this box is mostly for collection or to consume towards something else

[dense zephyr]

hey so like, im a huge fan of vita (from that one hsr crossover with sparkle) and like, is it worth starting the game just cuz of her lol?
Like idk if I can get her atm but also she looks cool asf and im tempted to start HI3

[shell basin]

She is available next week

Along with her BiS teammate

[dense zephyr]

also to you pc gamers how much storage does it take

[shell basin]

She’s out of meta rn but still has uses if you love her

[dense zephyr]

how fast does the meta shift 💀

[shell basin]

!faq gamesize

[small willow]

v8.7 approx. install size

• Mobile

basic assets ~ 30.5 GB
full assets ~ 41.5 GB

• PC

basic assets ~ 43.5 GB
full assets ~ 57.5 GB
(Event files that come out after are not counted here)

[shell basin]

She’s over a year old. And it’s not that she’s powercrept yet, it’s just that her dps cases don’t show up as much as when she was just released s

So she’s mostly used as a support these days

Like you’ll run Vita on an FDD team or a horb team to give them buffs but it’s rarer to run her as the leader

Basically the way competitive works in this game is there are a lot of different weathers and bosses, each are optimized for one or a small handful of Valkyries

And then newer Valkyries get their weathers more often

[dense zephyr]

competitive?
like pvp-?

[shell basin]

In this game a bunch of your pulls come with competing with other players for score

In endgame nodes

[outer spruce]

leaderboard pvp basically

[charred basin]

Hello, can I ask if current event has some daily activities/limits and if I should begin it soon?

I didn't start it yet

[shell basin]

It has daily but you will spend it on coins at the end

Because shop has 500 coins

So you don’t want to slack forever but it’s not immediately urgent or anything

[charred basin]

Thank you

[eternal spindle]

okay so after getting dkey and everything else i ended up with 360 annulons, what do i buy with them?

[shell basin]

Wait for Carnival because you’ll get more annulons from there

But there’s a faq in the first pin

[dense zephyr]

so like, even IF i like vita, is it just not a good idea to yoink her

[shell basin]

TLDR is probably sonque if you don’t have any aops yet otherwise it’s account dependant

[eternal spindle]

okay ill get songque then
in which case do i use her over dreamseeker?

[shell basin]

Well if you’re willing to reroll for her it’s not that bad. Because you get 20 free pulls for one of 4 banners next week and she’s one of them. But it’s not meta wise advised to chase her otherwise

Also you don’t have to prioritize meta it just helps get a few more pulls a patch

[bright oxide]

I used my 1 free new Mei banner pull and somehow lucked out and got her with 0 pity :0

[dense zephyr]

wait how does the pulling system work in this game and also are weapons/lightcones/balls/hi3 equivalent necessary

[shell basin]

Try to get her weapon then. Gz

[shell basin]

90 pulls for valk, 60 for wep, no 50/50

Weps needed 99% of the time

[outer spruce]

weapons are borderline required here

[shell basin]

Ranks unnecessary almost always

You just need 1 copy

[dense zephyr]

what is a rank

[shell basin]

Dupes

[dense zephyr]

eidolon/constellation equivalent?

[shell basin]

Yeah

[dense zephyr]

uhhh okay. Is there anyone meta defining on banner rn?
that i should probably pull

[shell basin]

Mei is currently on banner and she is really strong

[dense zephyr]

oka

mei + weapon right?

[shell basin]

Yeah

[spiral badge]

i wouldn't call anything sharply meta defining at this point. Most valks are more balanced now. But in the long term you do want to focus on general new releases and gain a large roster

[bright oxide]

The only other part 2 characters I have are PAWS and BFDD

I have PAWS weapon and stigmata

Does new Mei work with them

[shell basin]

Yes. Both support Mei very well

Mei supports paws too

[bright oxide]

Awesome

[spiral badge]

btw more edits @shell basin

[outer spruce]

songque has better elemental buffs while dreamseeker has better phys buffs, well not phys specifically but songque doesn't buff physical at all

[maiden garden]

Is there a specific team for thelema ? I took a 5 months break from the game and I genuinely forgot how to use the valkyries properly

[tired osprey]

what is Pri arm?

[autumn oxide]

tldr its just more levels for ur weap

using different mats to level it

[tired osprey]

worth it?

[autumn oxide]

depending on the weather it may be different, but say for ice raven, her bis boss, u’d probably want something like thelema hle rita

[autumn oxide]

depends on the weap, some old pt1 weap ofc not. meis weap yes

if u hv hella pri mats then go ham on the old weaps, torus is a bit of a bottleneck tho

maybe @spiral badge has a faq thats more in depth on pri

[tired osprey]

thats the weapon i am asking for lol, thank you

[spiral badge]

yeah you'll see something like this

for newer released weapons there's only one choice. You must use the original base version

and that weapon must be maxed out to become a material for its stronger pri arm version

[lyric anvil]

This was answered in #💁gameplay-help

[spiral badge]

Second of all for your other symbiosis supports, look up how they trigger their own team buffs (usually from stigmata 3pc) and also their stellar drain (usually some hold/special meter attack) EDIT: FDD is a bit different. Look at her ult effects.

oh ok then

ty

[lyric anvil]

[spiral badge]

well i think whatever i raised still stands but yeah ty anyway lol

[lyric anvil]

Yeah I didn't put down anything for Mei's ranks

[slim citrus]

what does tuning mean?

[serene crystal]

Tuning makes it work as a divine key to give you 10 global atk and allows you to pri arm the weapon to a stronger version.

[slim citrus]

ah so im not missing out on anything if i tune it, right?
them saying "this is irreversible" made it sound like a much bigger decision lol

[serene crystal]

You are not missing anything by tuning.

older weapons can be used for a different pri arm of the same weapon type if you have the base version of that weapon, but this is impossible with modern weapons and tuning means that you can't change it to a different cross.

[simple bobcat]

does horb ar symbiosis provide impair still?

is Songq astralop worth it to spend on anni shop? (I only have mc astralop) or should I get ranks for songq valk ? ( currently S0)

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!

[shell basin]

There we go

Lmao

TLDR is divine keys you don’t have, particularly impactful P2 characters you lack if you can get them + wep and have the right team, or ranks on Valkyries whose stellar key you have,

For F2P only the first really, at least for a while

If you’re spending you have more freedom

[slim citrus]

ye but are those buffs rlly worth? id rather wait & get p2 characters, im new but not f2p
if i wait till next bp i should have enough for p2 valk + gear, so between sonq & lantern, is one more worth?

[crystal sluice]

Hellooo,
Im a new player, I got the new Mei suit in a single pull!
I dont have any characters in the guide though. Does anyone have advice?

[low ridge]

I don’t think I can beat this persons score

They have Mei Kiana ffd and the aop I have Mei Elysia Fdd and dream seeker sss

[shell basin]

You will want to get her weapon (most Valkyries are bad without their weapon) and then run them with Valkyries Blastmetal (available in part 2 story and asterite shop) + terminal aide (asterite shop)

This is not a great team, ideally you’d want two symbiosis supports, but that’s what you can do when you’re just starting out

[ancient needle]

(the very first chapter of P2 story to be exact)

[wicked cargo]

What stigmata do I run on valkyrie blastmetal coralie

[ancient needle]

Well, ideally you wanna run her sig set (Tsiolkovsky)

[shell basin]

She has her signature which is craftable (tsiolkovsky) if you have enough prisms

[ancient needle]

You can leave it at lvl 35

You can get it in Foundry

[shell basin]

Otherwise you can run something like Gluttony T FHM MB

As an inexpensive cope

[lyric anvil]

Always save your prisms for newer Valks

[steep lance]

Hellooo i was wondering if enhancing (and not upgrading) a stigmata changes something? I know that when upgrading it level up the stats but does enhancing does smth ? Im kinda broke so i was thinking should i just upgrade them and not enhance them

[low ridge]

I heard that you should try and max them out, but I think that the middle one is the one that you should care about last because it only gives crit which most characters can’t

[ancient needle]

Upgrading changes the level cap and resets the current level to 1

Enhancing increases the current level

Stig effects depend on the level cap (or the amount of stars, same thing), while current level decides how much of base stats (ATK, HP, DEF) the stig gives

[steep lance]

So i might as well upgrade and enhance them until the last cap where i dont enhance it (since there is no more cap)

[ancient needle]

So if you are to upgrade you need to enhance as well

[steep lance]

Its physical or elemental character that cant crit btw?

[ancient needle]

Except the M stig, it provides only defensive stats

[low ridge]

Elemental

[wicked cargo]

How do I check crit dmg?

[ancient needle]

No easy way

Not much point either cuz it can change dynamically

[steep lance]

Oh so enhancing them make the stats better?

[wicked cargo]

I have 106 cr on xentinel mei. Idk what crit dmg

[ancient needle]

Yes

[steep lance]

Alriight thx

[steep lance]

Thank youuu

[ancient needle]

CRT is a weird stat, it contributes only to crit rate via a special formula (and doesn't tell you the whole story anyway)

[wicked cargo]

Also someone here told me I can keep rerolling affixes to unlock the second slot? I been doing it for awhile no avail

[ancient needle]

I did, but I also told you not to do that unless you're in lvl 81+ Redlotus

[dark sphinx]

hi im abit new and i was wondering wether it is possible for me to get xentinel+ her sig and pact of companionship (since i managed to speedrun getting her last patch). im currently level 43, growth regimen stage 5, and bought the level rush thingy

[wicked cargo]

Whoops :X

[ancient needle]

Yes, comfortably

[ancient needle]

Start with the Pact though, the banner is shorter

[low ridge]

Physical characters can crit but most of them you don’t even want to roll for crit for your affixes like for example meis new battle suit and lunar vow, new divine key you want to go full attack for their affixes but some you do so if you are building a physical character, just come in here and ask if you should get crit

[ancient needle]

Well, maybe "comfortably" is a bit of a stretch
As long as you make good progress in Part 1 story (more time-efficient than Part 2 crystal-wise) and don't forget gamemodes like Abyss and Elysian Realm (unlocks at lvl 50) you'll be good to go

[steep lance]

Alrighhtt thx will do!!

[simple bobcat]

[lofty vault]

do I actually need to re download the whole game file when switching servers?

[frozen crypt]

only for the materials when ur absolutely loaded on coins

[dense zephyr]

Does pity transfer

[frozen crypt]

for which banner?

battlesuit supply yes, equipment supply yes, astralop supply yes, others no

[dense zephyr]

Ummm I was told to get mei
I don't know who mei is

[serene crystal]

Xentinel Dawnbearing Crescent

[dense zephyr]

I also don't know what to be spending my gems on for a brand new account, but also I really like vita (I came to this game cuz of the sparkle v vita animation) and apparently her Bis support and her are coming next patch

Sooo the purple lady is who I'm pulling?
And her weapon?

[serene crystal]

Should be more blue but yes

[frozen crypt]

yea her

[dense zephyr]

With the spear and the yellow circle thing

[frozen crypt]

wdym bis support and her?

are you referring to the carnival supply rerun?

[dense zephyr]

I don't know. That's what I was told
GUYS I JUST GOT HERE LOL

Lemme find it

[frozen crypt]

maybe you were told that before this patch dropped because the 8.8 info we have does not add up with that

vita is rerunning in carnival supply soon, and fdd who is her best support is also on there

[dense zephyr]

Maybe I misread, not Bis support

[dense zephyr]

Gng I just got here today

[dense zephyr]

Yeahhhhhh someth like that
TLDR: not optimal to pull her but she's still fine so like if I like her go for it

That's what I absorbed from that convo

Also what's the "strongly consider rerolling for a valk from starter supply"
Should I go A or B

[frozen crypt]

from a competitive standpoint Vita is the least recommended but ultimately yeah it's your decision

the only thing I will say though is please ensure you can guarantee her if you're willing to spend crystals on carnival supply for her because it will end up a massive waste if you try to pull her from there and end up not having enough, the pity will vanish

[dense zephyr]

Okay good to know, wait till the last day to see if I can guarantee weapon and person as well as BIS support

[frozen crypt]

in your case you'd go for the dragon girl fdd, but are you rerolling? It refers to spam making new accounts until you get a valkyrie from starter supply in your first ever 10x

if you're not rerolling accounts ignore starter supply

[dense zephyr]

I mean, I already have a bunch of hoyo accounts from rerolling in HSR, but I honestly don't mind running through the game without rerolling
(Me and my welt main dps account that I keep on the side 🙏🙏🙏)

[frozen crypt]

to be completely honest mei + weapon, vita + weapon and fdd is not realistic to get even with beginner income

not sure if you plan to skip mei in favour of vita, you'd need to tell me more about your priorities and goals in the game

anything related to pulling Vita goes against meta recommendations so you'd need to be okay with putting yourself behind in team building progression to go out of your way to build vita first

[dense zephyr]

I'll go with Mei if it's more meta viable and find someone new that I like ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

It's unfortunate but it's okay

[frozen crypt]

you get 20 free pulls for carnival so if you really want to you can spend your 20 free pulls on vita. or maybe if you are willing to buy bp you can play the long game and spend your free carnival pulls on fdd then wait for vita in bp but it will take a while

for carnival we do recommend fdd or fws (fws would support your mei, fdd does as well)

it's easier to go from meta -> casual than the other way around so I think getting mei + her weapon is a good start

[dense zephyr]

Chat im gonna need the glossary pulled up 24/7 cuz I might have a stroke

[frozen crypt]

xD I tried to tell you who each character is before using their acronym, fws I didn't, that's this kiana

Please see Professor Lyo's guide to Carnival Supply and what to pull in the current iteration [here](#👶beginner-help message).

See the pins of beginner help for more guides!

[frozen crypt]

maybe give that a read for more insight

and visuals

[dense zephyr]

Okes
Aren't both of these on the beginner supply????
Not vita or paws but the other 2

[frozen crypt]

Yes they do also happen to be on starter supply

[dense zephyr]

But it isn't worth pulling on the starter supply

[frozen crypt]

the free 20 pulls you get can only be spent on carnival supply

and we only recommend to spend the free 20 pulls

unless ur gonna spend a lot of real money

it's generally better to save for future releases

if you get really lucky on your mei+weapon pulls come and ask us for further advice about your situation and we'll re-evaluate what could be good for you to pull

[dense zephyr]

Ty

[simple bobcat]

in 2026..

[crystal sluice]

Ah thanks
I probably shouldnt have pulled so early then haha. I bought the training guide thing cause I wanted Ely, maybe ill just use her.

[crystal sluice]

Do characters in this game get reruns similar to Genshin and HSR? Idk if itz worth saving for her full team since Im not sure how meta in this game works.

[serene crystal]

Characters get reruns but spending on reruns is generally very questionable as teambuilding is very open and you therefore primarily pull for main dps usage and then get supports along the way as all valks can be used as either dps or support depending on where you place them in the team order.

The difference between best and second best support is also generally not very noticeable, as long as they have the correct astral ring tag you should be fine.

[frozen crypt]

this game is nothing like genshin/hsr so treat it like it's completely separate

Astral Ring and Specializations

Allow me to explain, Captain!

Click here to view a list of Astral Ring Specializations, Tags, and the Valkyries protected by them!

Characters under the Astral Ring System will have one ring type (Specialization), and one or multiple tags (Attributes) that will determine how they can form teams. This system is only activated if a Character with Astral Ring is set as the leader. When activated:

• the leader's ring type will decide the team's playstyle.
• the team will benefit from effects (e.g., Stigmata buffs) that require Astral Ring.
• the team will gain access to Stellar Outburst, a high damage output state you can enter after charging enough energy (Astral Ring Intensity).

If you're interested give the guide at the bottom a read

If you have any questions after that feel free to ask

[wicked cargo]

Would it be bad to get that fate defying dragon coralie?

[low ridge]

You getting both oh your wallets hurting

[low ridge]

Fdd would’ve better to get then Kiana if your going to back pull anyways

I think correct if wrong

[quick birch]

I don't really think she's that important unless your goal is to be a highly competitive nirvana player and you really have a lot to spend since your goals is to already top up for Kiana, generally beach supports aren't that far off from normal supports these days especially in RL because the resistance shred does not matter as much there. Then also fdd does lose a significant team buff without her weapon which would probably set her behind your other options if you're not getting that one as well but again that's like a lot of spending.

[quick birch]

You can kinda make a case for both, for Mei specifically badum might be the better pull since she seems more fixed to Mei then fdd does, for example at least in RL FWS/hle is better than FWS/fdd

If you're unsure maybe give the carnival guide in the pins a read it explores the pros and cons of both fws fdd

[quick birch]

Then again fdd might have some other benefits that FWS doesn't have so it's really account dependent

[potent crow]

Guys is Songq astralop worth it to spend on anni shop? (I only have mc astralop) or should I get ranks for songq valk ? (currently S0)

[low ridge]

I know I’m really hoping I get lucky in my free 20 pulls and get her

[low ridge]

Send your valks

[potent crow]

gimme a sec opening the game

[quick birch]

Maybe give the spending guide in the pins a read || be aware that we will get a new Aop next patch which might replace Songque in WS but since it doesn't seem like you're pulling aops anyway this probably won't concern you, the general buffs Songque provides are also still a consideration even with a potential replacement arriving, we don't know the kit of said aop yet so this is just speculation||

[potent crow]

yeah I will never pull for Aop, so songq op > songq valk ranks? (anni shop)

[quick birch]

Imo yeah, sonq aop will serve you as a general elemental aop with some minor Ari regen at S while JDS barely sees a use case these days both as a DPS and support

For more details read the guide but if you're satisfied with this feel free

You can also keep the event tokens for now just to be sure

In case 8.8 stuff changes anything

[potent crow]

aight ty

[wicked cargo]

I really want to see more omniscient star

[quick birch]

They're kinda rare just because they can contribute to every leader bonus regardless if they actually have the right support tag, but we do normally get like 1 a year so keep hoping

[wicked cargo]

Soo far I picked 7 characters I really like. Durandal, Rita, Vita, Kiana, Mei, Elysia, and sparkle

I will get any sp's of those with p2 kits

[forest oyster]

hello, returning player here. is this worth to buy?

[lone crater]

no

i mean like its fine as a pure xtal pack iguess, and you willing to spend a lot

[quick birch]

The value shouldn't be that bad tbh, ofc other things monthly, BP take priority but it's not the worst deal

[lone crater]

if u alr bought others and want to spend more then ig

just focus on newest mei

the rest dont really matter

you can still buy fragments of a/sp valks to unlock them/upgrade them for dorm purposes

Can I just use Griseo and Yae Sakura with her for now then

[ancient needle]

You can use VBm TA as the team for Mei for this patch
Both are obtainable from the Asterite shop, but VBm also is in the first chapter of Part 2 story with her signature weapon

They won't do anything, might as well use her solo

She'll be more than enough at your level

[lilac reef]

You got all of that and didn't reach enough tokens for free songque aop?? 😭 😭 😭

[ancient needle]

[lilac reef]

Idek was Songque aop supports

She was the only one I never pulled so guess I'm lucky she's "free" now

[severe ruin]

Okay, thank you. To reach that amount I guess I could pull for Chenxue aop, but I don’t see Songque aop being used because World Star isn’t prevalent for a while now.

[maiden garden]

870 so high tho
Just the rice cake rhythm thingy takes so long

[maiden garden]

Oh

[low ridge]

What

[maiden garden]

Nothing I was just acknowledging the team you sent

[low ridge]

I Beat this persons score idk how but I did

[maiden garden]

Yea I'm also wondering how you did it lol

[restive shell]

i played for about a month when peregrine sword sushang came out and she is my only limited character if i get back into this should i pull for the new mei or what should i wait for if not

[low ridge]

How much of the part 1 story do you have left because returning rewards are not as good as beginner rewards but it really depends do you have peregrine weapon

[low ridge]

But I would recommend pulling Mei but she’s a new Astral ring type and for that type you need people with symbiosis and peregrine has it you will need one more character with it for you to properly do her rotations, but you can use Mei as a support for your peregrine in the meantime

[quick birch]

You can also still do a team with Mei/ps/vbm while you can't use her to her fullest extend in stellar outburst it's still a fairly decent team for beginners

[low ridge]

Well, I know they can definitely still use her as a DPS if they want to. I was just saying that they can’t do a full rotation.

In stellar outburst

[quick birch]

Yeah I'm just putting the option in the table, they'd kinda have to sacrifice something no matter who's be their DPS, in a PS DPS team vbm also wouldn't have her own stellar shift + she can't trigger heavenly link. But this is a normal trade off for new players both are fairly good teams

[low ridge]

Yea true

[low ridge]

I’m still trying to find out if they have the weapon or not because if they don’t, they should probably make a new account

But it is up to them because I definitely recommend it because whenever I made my new account it was so much better new players get so much stuff not even funny and the beginner banner is literally meis best team

I’m pretty sure it’s badum and Fdd right?

[quick birch]

Imo it rather depends on how their 1 time crystal sources look like and how willing they are to start a new account, if they're not necessarily thrilled about starting a new account and they still have decent one time crystal sources just having another support for Mei is fine and pretty nice.

[low ridge]

Yeah, definitely I was asking that too. How much of the part one story do they have left

[quick birch]

Yeah but that's also not xdc's definite BiS team, I've already seen FWS/ps FWS/hle being pretty good/BiS on some certain bosses, the banners are pretty nice though but spending crystals on it depends a bit on how lucky they are with Mei and how much time they have left on the beginner banner

[low ridge]

The beginner banner just started I thought

[quick birch]

It depends on when they created their account and if they really started back then when ps released I'd be gone anyway

[low ridge]

Yea

[quick birch]

Could be that they maybe mean her last rerun before 8.7 started but I'm not sure about that

Anyway all of this talking doesn't really take us anywhere without them being there lmao

[low ridge]

Ik lol

We been rambling for 30 minutes and they still haven’t said anything

[quick birch]

Yeah maybe they're busy we'll just have to wait

[low ridge]

I heard sena is going to be free in 8.8 is that TruE

[quick birch]

No official info on that

[low ridge]

So just speculation

[quick birch]

More like delusion lmao

We'll see

[low ridge]

Oh lol

[slim blaze]

i gotta say

using Mei solo on mob stages

kinda fun

death web execute

man

a3 so chill

[low ridge]

I know I’m not ready to go back to red louts is scary there

https://tenor.com/view/kioryual-gif-24609778

[slim blaze]

rl is also chill

[low ridge]

Bro every one’s try hard now I have been fighting for number one since sinful

[frosty kernel]

just got back is she good?

[shadow gyro]

you used the crystal ball currency? not that
she's not that good tho
but useable based on who you have

[frosty kernel]

nah for free one pull

but prolly not tho, only had ely and fdd that are good

[shadow gyro]

never mind then
but incase these any world star or wheel of destiny characters in the future, she can be a slot in there

[shadow gyro]

actually wait by ely you mean hle or hoh?

[frosty kernel]

hle

[shadow gyro]

oh ok they won't play together then

[frosty kernel]

i mean i got hohe too tho

[frigid harbor]

in my rotation w mei dkey luna and vbm during stellar outcast when i do 4 ults on mei then swap to supports then back to her i only have enough sp for 2 ults is that normal

[shadow gyro]

and its not recommended to backpull her weapon so no sci dps

[shadow gyro]

needs dkey

[frosty kernel]

already got it dw

[shadow gyro]

oh okay she can support her

[quick birch]

Yeah you need 2 symbioses supports for 8 Ults in total

[frosty kernel]

yup, i just gonna use the freebies

[quick birch]

Just use the finisher after 6th ult + CA

[frosty kernel]

btw is the raiden mei very good? who can work with her?

[shadow gyro]

yes but get based on your funds
she's GoI so she can be supported by fdd and hle

[quick birch]

She's pretty good for your roster, hle can be supported by her and hle can support her

If you have the crystals pick her up with her weapon

[shadow gyro]

she also have skills for fws and hle making them even better for her

[frosty kernel]

just got back so.. with 6.2k idk if i can get her

[lyric anvil]

Well any Kiana and Elysia but those two are the best for Mei

[shadow gyro]

oh hoh...
right
lol

but mainly hle

[lyric anvil]

[shadow gyro]

hows the pity rn?

[quick birch]

Oh that's a bit rough yeah, at least do the discounted pull and after that save up your weapon pity in crystals/cards and spend anything excess on mei

[shadow gyro]

can at least try the discounted pull

[quick birch]

In that case if you do get lucky you can instantly get her weapon

[frosty kernel]

already spent it, 30 pity on mei

[quick birch]

Like until guarantee ?

[frosty kernel]

50 till

[quick birch]

Ah, how's weapon pity

[frosty kernel]

oh i forgot lol prolly 0 pity

[shadow gyro]

mei skip 100%

but if you have lv you cab dump pulls on her dk
if you don't have lv then skip as well

[frosty kernel]

lv?

[shadow gyro]

lunar vow

she was free last patch

[frosty kernel]

dont have her

[shadow gyro]

yeah nevermind

[quick birch]

I would say it's fine to do what I suggested || given that next patch will probably only have an aop + maybe a dkey but that is just a speculation || it's just not guaranteed that you will get Mei

[frosty kernel]

yeah i skipped that one patch only lmao

[shadow gyro]

you could see if you have content to finish but it would be late by then

yeah at least just save rn

[frosty kernel]

thats rough..

[shadow gyro]

you won't have enough for spending bonus anyways so it doesn't matter

[frosty kernel]

idk if the next patch had good char tho, like that get me excited

[quick birch]

We should know in about a week

Then you can decide

[shadow gyro]

beta will be soon, you can see what we have by then

[frosty kernel]

wait when this patch released?

[quick birch]

Thursday

[frosty kernel]

two days ago okay

beta already huh

[quick birch]

CN beta

4 weeks ahead of us

And their beta is usually longer since it goes through more versions

[frosty kernel]

Yeah, but idk if it were this quick before, i prolly just forgot tho

[quick birch]

Anyway even if you end up doing what I suggested you'll need time to save up anyway so just check #🔮cn-gameplay-discussion pins from time to time for new info

You can also talk about it here if it's investment related just spoiler it, though we can't really give you an clear answer since beta is still subject to change

Also if you're unsure about anything don't be afraid to get a second opinion

A lot in this game is pretty arguable and has some bias tendencies in the end

[frosty kernel]

Alrighty then

[keen skiff]

is new mei good if im f2p? im 10 pulls to pity on the character banner and 40 on weapon, im going to see if i can get the weapon first then safely pull mei

[quick birch]

May I ask if this is a new account ?
Because if so you'd probably want to pull both Mei + her weapon + the new weapon for lunar vow

[keen skiff]

yes i heard she was bad without her weapon, so im committing to her weapon first because im very close to pity on the character banner

would i definitely have to get lunar vow's weapon? i dont think i can get that much pulls in time

[quick birch]

Generally you'd always want to pull both a char + her weapon, if it's the case and your on a new account id probably just pull Mei for now then get Lunar vows new weapon and then mei's weapon

[quick birch]

You should be able to do that tbh beginner income is quite good

Also Click here for Professor Sairaan's Crystal Sources Spreadsheet!

See the pins of beginner help for more guides!

[quick birch]

If you need any ideas on how to farm crystals check out both of the links

I'm suggesting to go for LV weapon first since her banner only lasts 3 weeks instead of 6 weeks like the weapon banner from Mei

[keen skiff]

im not completely a beginner, i started at sparkles banner and got really close to her pity before she ended, even got her wep, then i quit until now

[wintry wharf]

buying bchips packs with mei face gives currency for the spending?

[keen skiff]

ill have a look at this tho thanks

[quick birch]

Oh hm then idk, yeah given the circumstances then I'd focus on Mei first and see if you can maybe snatch a LV weapon

You should be save to pull Mei now though

Getting 30 pulls in 6 weeks shouldn't be the problem and having a good valk to clear some content is quite comfortable

[keen skiff]

so mei>LV wep>mei wep?

[quick birch]

Nah given your circumstances Mei > Mei weapon > see if you can snatch a LV weapon until her banner ends

I'd play it a bit more safe since you probably don't have starter manual anymore

I don't think it's totally unrealistic that you might get LVs weapon as well with some of the freebies and the pulls you can farm but i just don't really know the situation of your one time crystals so I'm going with the more conservative option here

[keen skiff]

ive got alot of main story left, so its probably possible but i dont really want to rush main story, ill try get thru alot before the banner ends tho ive been meaning to play story

but anyways thanks for the help

[quick birch]

Yeah I totally get that don't rush yourself too much it's best to not risk a burn out lmao

[boreal prism]

Do sigmata copies differ from each other in any way? Also is there anything you can do with the extras?

[quick birch]

If you absolutely wanna min max look if some may have a second affix slot unlocked/ an already decent affix but generally no they are the same, you can salvage extras for source prisms which you'll also need to upgrade the stigmata

[boreal prism]

But the difference is pretty minimal?

[quick birch]

Between the affixes yeah, if you're actually focused on affixes you'll reroll them anyway but they don't matter that much until you wanna peak into nirvana. One good line per stigmata is enough for RL

[boreal prism]

Tyty; btw when you salvage one that you've already leveled do you get all the mats back?

[novel schooner]

Hello I am a beginner which should I choose??

[quick birch]

Tbh I don't really know, but if you already leveled one stigmata just stick with that one tbh

[quick birch]

!Faq stigbox

[small willow]

Free Stigmata Boxes

Hey, Captain!

In Honkai Impact 3rd Part 2, most new Valkyries will have a Stigma Option box given for free! But when should you use them?

If you are pulling for the corresponding weapon, you should open the box AFTER you have 2 different pieces of that stigmata set already. These stigma boxes are optimally used to finish a stigmata set. This also applies to Part 1 stigmata boxes, if you have any.

If you...

• Obtained the weapon before you got at least 2 stigmata set pieces, stop pulling! Open the box to get the best piece and then craft any missing stigmata (you can find these in Foundry).
• Already got the full stigmata set before the weapon (there are high chances that you did), keep the box as a collectible or open it, select a random stigma and salvage it for Source Prism.
• Are skipping or have skipped the corresponding weapon but want to get the Stigmata set, open the box first for the best piece then craft the other two via Foundry.
• Skipped the weapon and do not intend to craft the Stigmata set, you have no urgent reason to open the box, so keep it.

Regarding Bronya: N-EX, you can open the box once you own T or B and use it to finish TB. M is not BiS on SW.

[boreal prism]

Is anyone in here worth getting?

[quick birch]

The bundle itself has a horrible value, the only valk that you may see some use of is LV if you're also pulling her dkey this version but generally if you wanna spend money on this game you'll get better rewards through other things/packs. LV dkey is also kinda niche and a part of her value lies in the +10 atk buff for competitive players

[boreal prism]

Gotcha thanks

[slim blaze]

man

calm baby supremacy

[kindred carbon]

what is the max display score for this emblem?

[fallen merlin]

no score on the emblem this time

[kindred carbon]

Thanks

[fallen merlin]

, just in case, most of the time on the ⓘ button in the event you can find the info about the emblem

[novel schooner]

Who should I pull for

[upbeat egret]

How much crystal do u have

[novel schooner]

almost for a 10 pull

[stable apex]

how good is the free A rank himeko

valkyrie trumph one

[shadow gyro]

not used anywhere

but her existence at least counts towards the a ranks you have
which is important for something called dorm levels

[raven bane]

should i bother with stig affixes

[serene crystal]

Unless you are pushing nirv not really. Just get 10 + atk and leave it at that.

[lone crater]

go for anything like +30 atk, fairly easy and can make a diff in sweatier brackets but just dont need to try too hard for like +40

[raven bane]

also should i keep the high crit dmg/rate affixes or just focus on atk

[ancient needle]

DMG sure, rate no

[lone crater]

crt is fake stat, only phys can crit, atk better for mei

[shell basin]

If you see a good crit dmg line for Mei keep it, crit rate is a scam

[ancient needle]

Crit rate is a pretty useless affix

[ancient needle]

Assuming Mei, yes

[raven bane]

yes its mei

[elder mirage]

what do i have to do to unlock it?

[raven bane]

is %5,08 crit dmg decent enough to keep

[serene crystal]

Get the weapon in the gacha

[elder mirage]

her weapon?

[elder mirage]

balright

[grim tangle]

Guys, were are my 40 pulls 😔

[quick birch]

They're spread out through multiple log in events + normal events

Some of which aren't available yet

[grim tangle]

Good to know, I was thinking I got scammed.

Anyway, I js started the game so dy have any suggestions for me? I already kinda bricked my account by pulling in the standard banner becuase it was cheaper, but now im really regretting. Also, is there any way of farming crystals fast without spamming story?

[shell basin]

how many crystals did you spend on standard banner

[grim tangle]

Like 4.6k

[raven bane]

events dailies end game

but they dont really give that much story is far better

[grim tangle]

Those give like 500

And i js started, I cant do endgames

[raven bane]

starters have their own endgame

[grim tangle]

How does that wor

[grim tangle]

The 10 floors thingy?

[raven bane]

yup

it will get harder

[shell basin]

That's not the end of the world but it is pretty bad

[raven bane]

each time you finish it (all the 10 floors)

[grim tangle]

I finished it twice and

Yes, the last stage was almost impossible

Barely won

[grim tangle]

Welp,gotta follow 15 crystals per story path

[shell basin]

You could also consider a new account, since that's basically the equivalent of getting 5k crystals right

nnow

though maybe this is linked to your other hoyoverse accts or smth

[grim tangle]

I kinda farmed alot in the raiden mei event 💔

[grim tangle]

Yea

Tcg ahh event

New account is gonna be a smart moves tho

I upgradd alot of char for no reason

[shell basin]

The mei event farming isnt very important because you'll do one daily anyway for rewards but yeah

if you don;t want to unlink the account you could also make an account on the same hoyoverse but a different server, though if you have plans to top up later that might complicate it

[grim tangle]

Ill js live with it for now cuz my only goal rn is to get the new raiden mei battlesuit

Still cant believe this game is giving only 40 pulls for anniversary 💔

[shell basin]

Well that's half a battlesuit

[mental python]

The stage only has psychic type enemies.. why is this team recommended with Luna as the leader ? Shouldn’t she be matched with 3 battlesuits of different types ? (Sorry trying to understand how to build teams now that I own more than 3 characters )

[shell basin]

ingame reccomendations are usually pretty sus, I don't reccomend following them too much

this is the abyss side stage?

[mental python]

Yes ! Those are my built characters
Who can I match with Luna? Just PAWS and FDD?

Characters under the Astral Ring System will have one ring type (Specialization), and one or multiple tags (Attributes) that will determine how they can form teams. This system is only activated if a Character with Astral Ring is set as the leader. When activated:

• the leader's ring type will decide the team's playstyle.
• the team will benefit from effects (e.g., Stigmata buffs) that require Astral Ring.
• the team will gain access to Stellar Outburst, a high damage output state you can enter after charging enough energy (Astral Ring Intensity).

[quick birch]

maybe give the guide at the bottom a read first

then we can use LV as an example

[cunning skiff]

how can i obtain the 40 free puls that mentioned

[quick birch]

they're spread through out multiple log in events and normal event, some of which are not available yet

[cunning skiff]

oh.. okay

[raven bane]

is luna with dkey bis for any teams

[shell basin]

PS dps and some paws dps

Plus she has some dps shill of her own like bleed trib ofc

[mental python]

Got it
So any symbiosis tag unit will do fine as long as I match 3 different types of valks

[shell basin]

Different types is only needed for symphonic weather

[mental python]

Is there any boss that require stunning ? Don’t really get why Xentinel does that

[shell basin]

You can have ele teams, it’s just rarely BiS

[mental python]

Like I’ve seen bosses in the past requiring to get frozen but I don’t remember ever needing to stun so I’m curious

[shell basin]

Flying fish

[dense hull]

is mei a must pull?

[shell basin]

Not in the way P1 valks sometimes used to be but she’s still really strong and likely to be shilled a lot

[dense hull]

shilled?

[quick birch]

yeah, and there's also just a stun weather to shill her with that.
It's also just kinda a thing for GoI units to apply a status effect with their ult

[quick birch]

getting abyss/MA content catered towards her

[hardy lintel]

what you'd guys advice me to get here?

im interested on somgque Astral support, seen all i have there is dreamseeker, but also getting the materials to level her up a little interesting, yes i have her weapon and stigmas

[lone crater]

ur not close to getting the aop tho

but s2 sonk valk means quite little

aop is more preferred

since u only got ds

[elder mirage]

is jade night good in abyss

[lone crater]

no

[dense hull]

where do i get the new free S tier valk

[lone crater]

which valk

[quick birch]

there'll be a log in event latern on where you'll get an S rank selector box

[dense hull]

do we know who we can chose?

[quick birch]

i think everyone up until HoTr not completly sure

but most of the valks in there are already in War treasury

[dense hull]

hotr?

[quick birch]

Herrscher of Truth

the valks in there don't really have any meta relevance so you can kinda view it as some 620 crystal from ER though maybe keep it until we know more about 8.8

[grand frost]

Hey there, was wondering if this account is still interesting to progress in (took a big break)? I really like how the new Mei looks, not sure if i have anyone that synergizes with her?

[outer spruce]

you have a team for her actually

mei dragon coralie hi love elf

[grand frost]

oh so i should get her then

[outer spruce]

her and weapon yeah

[grand frost]

Not sure if I'll have enough crystals though

[outer spruce]

how many crystals

[grand frost]

well just spent what I had left, character is 64 left until pity

[shell basin]

In that case advise is to spend next 5ish weeks saving up, between freebies and abyss and er and dailies should be a good 80 pulls, and then you can spend everything above 60 pulls on Mei banner

You want to keep 60 pulls in reserve because getting a Valkyrie without their weapon is pretty bricked

[dawn shoal]

hi guys! i recently started after not playing the game for a while and im lvl 43 or 44, what are aramadas and does anyone have any recs on what i should do?

[shell basin]

Armadas are basically guilds, groups of players. They’re a little vestigial but you can get some weekly crystals and mats for being in one.

As for what to do, what does your crystal count and Valkyrie list look like?

[grand frost]

Thankfully I already am almost done for the weapon pity, I had supply cards left after getting ely's weapon, I only need 28 more pulls
Forgot to mention that I'm at chapter 20 part 1 in story, not sure if there are many pulls left in story ^^'

[shell basin]

Oh, then if you’re only 28 pills then yeah that’s great. Means you can probably get Mei + wep before banner goes away if you lock in

Should at least 10k crystals left in story, prolly more

[grand frost]

Oh pretty good

[shell basin]

And you’ll get more from abyss and Elysian realm and dailies

[waxen smelt]

hello. im a returnee from the game. any tips?

[shell basin]

That depends on what your account looks like. When did you stop playing, what characters and gear do you have, how does your crystal stockpile look, how much of story have you done?

[grand frost]

What's said abyss? Q-Manifold?

[waxen smelt]

Cant remember when I quit, No crystals and as for the story, i havent finished chap 28 and beyond

[outer spruce]

yeah it's q manifold

[waxen smelt]

as for valks, here are they. most of them dont have their sig weapons

Should I just start a new account

[hardy lintel]

yeah i mean i want Mei so im gonna move earth and land as a f2p go get her. so i may get enough on my way there, if not you'll see me again around asking about it

[shell basin]

Probably yeah

Everyone there is free

And you don’t have many crystal sources left

If you want to unbrick it you can but it’ll take a while

As for what to do with a new account, it’ll depend on if you’re willing to reroll. If you are, you can reroll for Mei, and then try and grind enough crystals that you can guarentee her weapon and one of the carnival characters before the banner goes away; if you aren’t willing to reroll, it’s just be building Valkyrie blastmetal and Terminal aide to support Mei once you pull her

[waxen smelt]

By mei u mean the new character?

[grand frost]

Yup

[shell basin]

Xentinel Mei yes

[waxen smelt]

this account is the one i also use for HSR, Genshin and ZZZ. Ill just make a new one then.

is there a mechanic like Genshin where u reduce the world level for weekly rankings for HI3?

[lone crater]

not really

abyss once u breakthru u stay in exalted

[shell basin]

You can also make an account on a different server

But same acc

If it’s more convenient

[lone crater]

in ma if u struggle to clear theres a buffed mode u can turn on

[waxen smelt]

how too switch server

[shell basin]

Or for abyss if you lose a bunch you end up in easier abyss tiers

[shell basin]

Download the global launcher and then play there

[waxen smelt]

not hoyoplay?

[quick birch]

you need to switch servers in hoyo play

[grand frost]

Oh also, I meant to ask about Elysian Realm, how could you estimate which score multiplier you should use? Since I'm still only lvl 63 I'm not sure I can do Finality with only Elysia Love Elf and Dragon Coralie

[shell basin]

You want to do abstinence

[shell basin]

But it should be possible to do at level 65 no problem

Elysian realm automatically maxes out your Valkyries

[quick birch]

finality should be no problem with those valks just choose the right signets, check out the signet guide in pins

[shell basin]

And even VBM can easily clear the highest difficulties

[quick birch]

but as long as you do asbstinence for max crystals your good

[grand frost]

Oh that's right!

[waxen smelt]

oh lol. just uninstalled it. i thought u need to install a different version since it's like that before

[quick birch]

yeah not anymore, they've merged it since hoyo play

on phone it's still 2 seperate apps though

[dawn shoal]

and 1997 crystals

[shell basin]

Well. That’s not much in terms of value, everything there is free. Have you done any story progress?

[dawn shoal]

im up to the seven shuz in the maze story

[shell basin]

And for part 1?

[dawn shoal]

idk where to check

[shell basin]

Attack -> story

[dawn shoal]

it says tides times come by

[shell basin]

And then click on the box for “moon’s origin and finality”

[dawn shoal]

oh really? even like hyperion and susannah?

[shell basin]

Those were both free on release…

[dawn shoal]

oh

rip i got them through gacha

i think

[shell basin]

Broadly, your three options here are:

• Keep this account, and start saving up crystals. If you’ve got a lot of P1 story left undone and lock in you can maybe get Mei + wep before her banner goes away. You’ll be building Valkyrie Blastmetal and Terminal Aide to support her. You’ll be able to start competing in A3 in 3 patches, maybe 2 if you’re lucky, and RL a patch or two after that.
• Make a new account and reroll. It’d be a lot of work, but would let you guarentee Mei, Wep, and a support this patch, and then next patch you could expect to have a full team and start bouncing RL
• Make a new account, and not rerolling. Like the previous but unless you get lucky on carnival you won’t have a full team next patch, middle ground between the two

[outer spruce]

sp valks like susannah and hyperion got debut banners but that's just so whales can max them out faster

[dawn shoal]

oh, so do i go for the girl in valkyre enforcements?

[shell basin]

Schicksal’s imperative?

No, only spend free pulls there

She was mediocre on release and is old now

[dawn shoal]

so what do i pull for?

i see a girl with white hair in the valkyre reinforcements

[shell basin]

Yes, that’s Schicksal’s imperative

And the answer is unless you make a new account nobody, you need to save

But if you lock in and get enough crystals from part 1 story you can maybe get Xentinel Mei and Wep in a few weeks

[dawn shoal]

how do i check the part 1 story, all i see is part 2

[outer spruce]

part 1 is "the moon's origin and finality"

[dawn shoal]

ohh ok ive already done thaht

[shell basin]

All of it? And you’re still that low level?

Like so you can scroll through the story bars

And see what your completion looks like

[dawn shoal]

ohh no omg i thought it was just the deep ocean

whoops

[shell basin]

In that case if you really lock in and do part 1 story and also do all your dailies / abyss / Elysian realm

You might be able to afford Xentinel Mei + wep in 5 weeks

Don’t pull her without being able to get her wep tho, Valkyries are bricked without weapon

[dawn shoal]

where do i find her banner?

[dawn shoal]

where do i check what i need to do for these?

[shell basin]

Abyss is Qmanifold, you want to be able to clear 10 floors, but since you’re a returnee with nothing you’ll just do the best you can.

For some cope teams you can use rn

Elysian realm is a game mode unlocked at level 50

Valkyrie blastmetal can clear abstinence difficulty easily if you get the right signets (see pins in #💁gameplay-help ) and that’s 500 crystals a week

And then your dailies are on the left hand side of the bridge menu

looks like this

And you can also consider a new account if you aren’t attached to the old one, since with a newbie account you can start pulling now

and this is her weapon banner

[dawn shoal]

so herrscher void, blastmetal, and terminal aide?

you mean Miss Pink Elf? no she's not

[grand frost]

Oh btw, about elysian realm, in the signet guide what does "unlock nexus" mean?

[serene crystal]

The game may call it core instead

[grand frost]

Indeed, although I'm not sure which to pick since there are two

[serene crystal]

When you finish a stage where you have three of the signet which it gives you, you can choose between two options. The guide should say if you should take 1 or 2 there.

1 is the first option and 2 is the second option.

[grand frost]

Oh so here it would be the first one?
