Oh right which stigma she uses again? Can i see it on her details?

#

Also beginner question, why her ultimate dmg lower than her wpn skills? Do it have to do with her skill lvl?

You can play her as support for Law of Ascension and Wheel of destiny teams. May work as a cope dps option for SD stages but her dps performance isn't particularly impactful. If you have gotten Mei she will be better for basically all physical fights.

# hybrid isle should i continue to pull for mei?

If you can't get her + weapon then you should hold. No valk has real dps usage without weapon.
I would not recommend backpulling in this game at all even if PAWS is decent she is not worth as much as a new valk.

Resetting can definitely make sense here especially if you are willing to reroll for XDC. Main problem is that the time to get her weapon before she leaves is very tight ||and next patch is kind of barren|| [CN News]

Easiest way to reset is just to change server.

She would take almost all bio bosses for you, and RS mostly can’t cope xentinel shill past like A3

Plus she would be a better support for Luna and HLE and RS than you have

So she would upgrade all your other teams

About Rerolling

Hey there, Captain! AichanBlink

Please see Professor Lyo's summary of rerolling [here](#šŸ‘¶beginner-help message)! Also see the Returnee Accounts pin [here](#šŸ‘¶beginner-help message) to see why restarting is recommended and remember, whether you want to reroll is completely your decision!

"Rerolling" refers to the process of restarting accounts until you obtain the target character/equipment within the first 10 supply pulls - not to be confused with "restarting", which is simply starting a new account and sticking with it regardless of luck.

shell basin
#

It’s a lot of work but also saves you a lot of crystals (and in this case allows you to get XDC + wep before banner goes away

#

(Which is important because ||there’s no valk next patch so you’re stuck either backpulling or going a while with no gacha valks||)

#

Only you can decide if it’s worth it

#

Personally my advice is to make an account, play until you have a 10 pull, and then once you’re there decide if doing that 10 more times sounds fine or like it’s soul crushing

#

And in the latter case just stick with one account

feral pelican

is there a hidden one free standard pull im 1 pull away

spiral badge
# feral pelican is there a hidden one free standard pull im 1 pull away

1 pull away from what exactly? If it's for the guarantee s rank then i'm just going to say anything you can get from it is probably worthless for meta usage, and you're better off delaying it if you haven't finished buying stuff from WT shop yet (assuming the guarantee is for a new s rank)

if it's for spending event and it's going to end soon, then in the future i would encourage you to plan and wait until you have the 10 rolls at a time.

#

off my vague memory

  • login rewards
  • (rng) weekly box in LTO shop
  • (rng) armada commissions
  • dorm errand shop
  • armada shop
  • prob some starter missions

there may be more i don't remember

abstract sequoia
spiral badge
#

oh do those give dorm tickets?

spiral badge
#

i thought it was just crystals

abstract sequoia
#

oh we're talking dorm tickets

#

i thought crystals

#

didn't read the standard pull part

#

mb

spiral badge
#

i guess now is a good reminder: while technically crystals can be used on dorm supply, this is a terrible idea since crystals can be used on actual meta relevant banners instead.

abstract sequoia
#

i guess adjusting armada commission payout options are also important

abstract sequoia
#

although directly selecting that you want dorm tickets in there, it doesn't guarantee them but seemingly increases your chances regardless

spiral badge
#

but also in that case i'm just going to recommend you to not be tempted and try to hold it off

abstract sequoia
#

the only reason you'd want dorm pulls immediately is for spending event currency, if you're 10-20 tokens short

spiral badge
#

you do overflow on dorm supply cards when trying to get 20 on them used on every spending event but spending event also aren't consistent in occurrence so i rather you be ready than not

feral pelican
spiral badge
#

yeah not new

abstract sequoia
#

either way, dont sweat it

#

new just means one you dont have yet, can also be one from WT

feral pelican
#

i see then i’ll wait then

abstract sequoia
#

partially another reason why you want to unlock all WT valks, along with getting their ER crystals

#

so you can get valks that aren't normally farmable

#

or so your odds at least increase to get one

spiral badge
#

note this is for when you reach the new s rank but yeah

#

although with enough time those unfarmable valks will prob also become farmable

#

and naturally for non-new s ranks, the less you have the greater your odds are of pulling something actually new
and getting a valk unlocked is more efficient and more fragments in value than actually having a dupe convert

#

so it's a little bit awkward overall but also in the grand scheme of things, this really isn't that important to stress over

#

so that's why i rather prioritize making sure you have enough to get 20 dorm pulls to get more spending event currency the next time it's around

quick wing
#

who’s better out of these 3 (i get it’s situational, but overall whose a better pull)
xentinel mei, rita or love elf?

spiral badge
#

general rule of thumb is to go for the latest release which is XDC mei. However we're kinda near the end of her banner. I wouldn't pull unless you can guarantee herself and her weapon. (40k crystals total cost roughly to be safe)

#

still good of you to ask though. Sometimes there can be exceptions where we know a current new valk is kinda bad.

#

but yeah XDC Mei is fine overall if you can afford her in time. Being a CNY valk we do kinda expect her to be a bit more prevalant than others. However if your account is barebone of astral ring stuff, you might struggle using her early on since her supports aren't farmable.

spiral badge
#

some more elaboration on why that is the rule of thumb

#

@quick wing

quick wing
#

im a returnee i have no idea what the hell went on when i last played but i haven’t touched the pity

quick wing
spiral badge
#

sounds like you have some astral ring stuff already at least. You might already be familiar but the main important two things i cover with returnees are

  • do you understand how astral ring team building works?
  • do you understand how the gacha has changed from p1? especially equipment supply?
quick wing
spiral badge
#

weaponless PS and Badum can support the new Mei as a dps. Keep in mind all astral ring valks have dps and support uses too. XDC mei can support other teams you have as well

#

so you know that stigs are at worst craftable and weapon is the only gacha gear to go for now?

Astral Ring and Specializations

Allow me to explain, Captain! AichanCool

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).

Astral Ring Team Building Resources:

  • [Click here](#šŸ‘¶beginner-help message) for a guide to Astral Ring team building fundamentals!
  • Click here to view a spreadsheet of Astral Ring Specializations, Tags, and the Valkyries protected by them.

For information on each Astral Ring Specialization:

spiral badge
#

you can read through this to understand how astral ring stuff works. lmk if there's anything you have trouble understanding. we can even walk through some examples

#

this is the basis of all modern teams at this point so it's important to understand it well. It looks intimidating but once you get the basic idea, it's pretty simple. There's just a lot of nonsensical names to match across.

quick wing
#

alright i think i get it now

# quick wing also given im a returnee ive missed out on a lot so my only 4/4 pt2 valks are vi...

in the future, try to avoid unintentional pulls. Pity does carry over so having it reset on a valk you weren't looking to get is arguably wasteful.

If it happens on a discounted ten pull then it's kinda fine but i would advise you to consider weapon at that point if the valk is new. Weapons are important for huge personal dps damage and sometimes utility for dps and/or support purposes.

if you got a rerun valk via some other way (e.g. free carnival pulls) then you can leave them weaponless for the most part until you find some reasonable (non crystal/pink card costing) way to get them. EDIT: Weaponless valks might still see use as supports mainly rather than as dps (e.g. like the PS we're seing now)

#

they’re all under that ā€˜heavenly shift’ thing right?

spiral badge
#

uhh you're not looking to build a team of all one ring type or one tag

the main idea is

  • every ring type has a particular tag it matches with
  • for leader you look at their ring type
  • for non leader (supports) you look at their tags
#

if mei is leader what ring type is she?

#

keep in mind heavenly shift is the tag... ----> for the law of ascension ring type

quick wing
#

her ring is grail of interlude right

spiral badge
#

yes

#

grail of infinitude is a ring type that is different from law of ascension

#

so you wouldn't be looking at heavenly shift anymore

#

grail ring type matches with a tag called symbiosis

#

so you want supports for mei to have symbiosis tags

#

which in this case is badum and PS for you

#

the grail ring type emphasizes restoring sp to use ults alot

quick wing
#

ohhhh

spiral badge
#

symbiosis tagged valks allow the team to restore massive amount of sp when you go into your outburst mode (big blue button)

#

without these symbiosis supports, your leader will run out of sp early and will need to end outburst earlier and not do as much damage

#

and outburst damage is pretty much where your highest damage is

#

there are still times you may want to end outburst early anyway but that might be too advanced to talk about for now

#

anyway every ring type has their own gimmick and playstyle

quick wing
#

so symbiosis is ult based

spiral badge
#

and having the matching tag is often critical for such playstyle or gimmicks

#

yeah. let's talk about another one while on that note

#

uhh i guess LoA would be easiest (QTE based) but not all ring types are based on existing mechanics. So let's talk about world star instead

#

world star's main gimmick is that during outburst, some valks can set down markers, while other valks can trigger such markers to deal large damage

#

nowadays usually the leader sets down the mark, while the entire team triggers it

#

so sparkle leader will set down a mark (visibly looks like two rotating fish on the field), and then the entire team (domain resonance tagged valks) takes turn popping on it 6 times each (18 triggers total) to deal damage

quick wing
#

ohh okay i get it

spiral badge
#

there's more finer mechanics for each but you can check the faq earlier for more details or explore playing the game more

#

but i think with those two bases covered you're ready to try things out more

#

you can still ask questions though if you still have any

#

check out pins here to for other general info

quick wing
#

thank you thank you

spiral badge
#

again don't stress over (don't spend crystals/pink cards catching up on) weaponless PS. THe main deficit is you won't be able to use her very well as a dps (leader) especially if some bleed scenario shows up (e.g. bleed hos) in abyss (should be more rare nowadays). But as a support she can still perform well. Her weapon doesn't offer her too much in that role and generally damage from a support isn't too significant (it can still matter at a high level but that's not your concern for now)

#

how does the divine keys work and whats up with the stellar key? (ig its called that in english. the thing in the middle of the room) cause i want one of the 4 weapons in it

spiral badge
#

!faq dkey what

small willowBOT
spiral badge
#

they're basically very specific weapons from a variety of sources that offer you passive global (in other words to all valks in your account) benefits

#

stellar keys in particular are the newest kind. They're gacha only and do actually have meta relevant use in actual battle currently.

They are made for specific older valks but grants them modern astral ring mechancis to work with newer valks and teams

#

for the most part, we treat stellar keys similar to any regular gacha valk: it's not recommended to catch up on them but you can highly consider them when they are newly released.

mellow escarp
spiral badge
#

yeah it was gacha only but that banner is gone now. I don't recommend catching up on it anymore when it reruns but if you still want to for non meta efficient purposes, it's not a hard no necessarily.

#

but in that case, especially read the first link i sent just now

#

if you want to play it, you still can with the tutorial menu btw

#

valks > LV > tutorial at upper right side. The new weapon is one of the later stages there

#

alternatively attack > events tab > tactics class > LV also takes you there

mellow escarp
#

that... really complicated from a new player perspective

spiral badge
#

yeah i can try to explain it more in simpler terms. Is there anything in particular?

#

the main general ideas behind our recommendations are:

  • meta is important for crystal gain from abyss
  • eventually abyss becomes a place where you contest against other players. simply clearing isn't good enough
  • abyss constantly changes its scenario so you need many valks to build many teams to cover these scenarios.
  • if you're f2p or light spending, the main advice to achieve this broad but solid coverage is to focus on newest release of the patch only (valk and weapon together). You will afford most but not all of them this way, and that is still enough to get far in abyss.
  • you don't have to absolutely meta slave though. There are intermediates to settle for that fits you best.
mellow escarp
#

tbh. i dont really care about all of the endgame. i just want the few character i like and play with them cause i think there are fun to use and all. i play enouth other games where i already stress out with builds (hsr, genshin and single player jrpgs) so i just want the "few" chars i have and enjoy to play with good equipment. thats why i asked on how to get the 1 weapon for luna vow

spiral badge
#

that's very fair (and hence the last minute edit earlier lol)

#

currently it's not available since the banner ended but it will prob rerun eventually

#

and again, you can check out LV's tutorial if you just want to play it even if you don't own it.

#

i was gonna explain LV details in more simplified wording but i guess i'll leave it at that if meta isn't your interest.

#

i guess the main things i would say are that

  • assuming you already own LV valk (was free last patch), getting the stellar key will only cost you 60 pulls or ~17k crystals at worst
  • building LV as an astral ring dps might be awkward for newer or less developed accounts. LV's stellar key makes her a grail ring type. This ring type as a leader wants her supports to have symbiosis tags (can search for this in the valk menu at the bottom left filter button). There aren't any symbiosis supports that are farmable.
mellow escarp
#

yeah. but still thanks for everything. (my brain is smoking cause i just inhaled the entire hi3 part 1 main story lore)

spiral badge
#

ah yeah that is alot to take in lol (don't mention any details here though)

#

beginner help has a strict no story policy since other beginners may be here (what you said so far was fine though)

mellow escarp
#

i own alot of characters but no good equipments cause of the big breaks i had

spiral badge
#

well if you're not endgame concerned, being that behind on the meta isn't actually concerning. Story and events and elysian realm are all clearable with basically no gacha investment.

#

yeah being meta in hi3 does want you to maintain it regularly

#

but it's not the only way to play the game

#

just generally emphasized since that's where the crystals for the gacha are

#

or at least one major source of it

#

if you're still interested in improving in any way even for non abyss purposes, we can still help with that btw

#

even when non meta we understand some people still want to improve for other reasons

mellow escarp
#

well thanks again for everything. i will consider some of the informations for the chars you gave me but not on a level where i will try hard but so i can relax and enjoy playing. and if you were to help me with the builds, that would be really nice, but not today, cause its 11:30 pm for me so got to head to bed now

spiral badge
#

i've been more busy lately personally so i may not be as around when you get back here later but others can still help as well

#

just make it clear you're not playing for meta. Regulars default to that otherwise for reasons i explained earlier

#

you're free to ping me in the future as well here

mellow escarp
#

yeah ik. like i said, i play other gatchas for meta and i max my jrpgs builds to their limits so i understand why to take max as default

#

well i will see you around when ever that time will be

reef perch
#

with elysian realm, i already scored 8k, so can i just do one that'll give me 18k to get the 20k reward? or do i have to score at least 20k in one run to get max rewards

spiral badge
#

It has to be in one run

#

so abstinence or 2.25x is minimum to get full crystals

#

the one difficulty above it gets you an emblem but the effect of that is only effective in ER, and it's something you can always get later.

The only reason to get it now is if you want to get as much time remaining duration on it as possible from this point (but this is incredibly minor/unimportant)

crystal (gems?) is the gacha currency and the main use for it currently is for the Xentinel Mei on banner atm (both valk and weapon together. If you cannot plan for this and need luck to make it work, i'm going to recommend you skip instead)

if you're using an RoO dps like vita or FDD, they only want other RoOs on the team. VBm is one (again from asterite shop) but the others are gacha only. (HoFi dkey or Vita/FDD)

I don't recommend catching up on any of the gacha ones here if you don't already have them.

Should I Pull AstralOps?

NOO CAPTAIN! AichanAngery

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 (~20-30kCrystal).
    • 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.

#

Ok a few things to note

  • take off darwin set. It's not really a practical set to use. Alot of its activation conditions in its effects are not reasonable. Probably use edison instead. You can give mobi the handel T though.

  • it doesn't seem like you have eden's signature gun. That gun is notable for skipping a big portion of her attacks. Without it i wouldn't recommend using Eden for now.

  • You'll prob use some combination of HoTr, Fischl, VBm Coralie, and/or Pardofelis to support mobi for now the best you can.

  • Mobius is highly sp hungry to keep her ults up cycle after cycle. Ideal teammates for her sustain are Lunar Vow and HoTruth S2. For damage, LV and ScI are probably best although a well invested HoTr and/or Eden can prob be used here and there.

  • it seems you've been opening new patch stig selector boxes preemptively. Consider not doing this in the future. New prism stigs on their own are very minor (their biggest effects are on 3pc) and are hyper specific for their intended users.

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.

like for the rewards?

spiral badge
#

yeah

ocean bough
#

ah dang it

#

well let's say i meant get maximum rewards

spiral badge
ocean bough
#

i can't even reach 2k

spiral badge
#

you can see many players here with different scores, and you need to be high across them to maintain your trophies and rankings. Having enough trophies to maintain a high tier in abyss gives you more crystals and other rewards

ocean bough
#

what character should i invest in then?

spiral badge
#

maximum rewards basically means contesting against whales. The investment to reward ratio is highly lopsided and not really practically worth it

#

for most intetnts and purposes we recommend players to aim for red lotus (semi highest tier) retain. This is very viable as f2p

#

and doesn't lose much compared to the highest tier of nirvana

spiral badge
spiral badge
#

so working on only one team or valk isn't going to work

#

especially not mobius who is so out of date that she is now farmable

spiral badge
#

you need to slowly build up many recent valks over time to build many different teams to handle many different situations in abyss

#

and loosely speaking, focusing on the latest new releases (both valk and weapon together. If you cannot guarantee this, then just skip) is the way to achieve this

ocean bough
#

is rebirth seele considered a new valk? i don't know when she came out

spiral badge
#

yeah basically

#

she's very old but she got a recent gacha weapon that makes her fresh to the meta again. However it's already past her release so despite this recency i don't recommend catching up on her meta wise

ocean bough
#

dang

#

the newest releases this patch are XDC Mei and LV theresa (luna)'s stellar key. However the latter's banner is already done.

So, you want to learn the Dark Arts, Captain? aFuHuaWicked

[Click here](#šŸ‘¶beginner-help message) for the details of how the Gacha System works and how the expenses of the Part 1 and Part 2 systems compare.

Does Soft Pity Exist?
Data suggests that it does exist (starting at 76 pulls), but it is not confirmed anywhere by HoYoverse so we can't be 100% sure.

Averages and Worst Cases (Valkyrie + All Gear)

  • Part 1 vs 2 Average - 140 Pulls (40k Crystal) vs 78 pulls (22k Crystal)
  • Part 2 "Soft pity valk" + average wep 106 pulls (30k Crystal)
  • Worst Case:
  • Part 1 vs 2 Max - 300 pulls (84k Crystal) vs 150 pulls (42k Crystal)
spiral badge
#

tldr i recommend saving up to 40k

ocean bough
spiral badge
#

although for next patch ||we don't seem to have a new valk release. Just a new weapon that updates an old farmable valk. So only 17k for that||

ocean bough
#

and i should pull that weap?

spiral badge
#

might be too early to say for now but i would lean towards yes if you can afford it.

ocean bough
#

kk

spiral badge
#

meta is not for everyone though. Don't force yourself to be meta if you don't like the valk. A meta pull won't ever profit solely for itself.

#

There's ways to enjoy the game without being meta

#

story and events give you trials to use. You can play most valks you don't own with their own tutorials. Elysian realm can be handled with the farmable coralie.

ocean bough
#

one last question, is there any valk in my box that is viable?

spiral badge
#

viable for what exactly?

ocean bough
#

well it's finalized rn

spiral badge
#

loosely speaking at a high level, none but

#

abyss isn't just about at a high level

#

there are divisions

#

try to participate in it every cycle to at least gain some rewards from it

#

but at lower tiers, naturally weaker stuff can work there

ocean bough
#

okayy

spiral badge
#

so you can find a mix of casual/meta that suits you

thanks for the advices, it really helped me out figuring what should i do and how the game actually works

Astral Ring and Specializations

Allow me to explain, Captain! AichanCool

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).

i don't recommend rushing that goal in particular since you'll naturally cover it if you get new released gacha valks with their gear but

how did you obtain these actually? Did you open the free box for them?

spiral badge
#

before you roll in any gacha, you usually want to make sure you can plan to get the primary target before it expires.

hence the 40k crystal count i throw around earlier for other people (17k for weapon, 23k or so for valk)

there can be rare cases to consider pity building but usually it's not encouraged

Building Pity

Captain, please stop now! AichanAngery
Building pity is a really bad idea. It’s better to save those juicy crystals for what you are actually planning to get.

There are many reasons to not build pity. It's not worth it in 99% of situations.
Please read them and reconsider whether you actually need to build pity:

  • Some banners do not carry pity into others, Please confirm it carries over before even considering building pity.
  • There are events with added rewards for rolling during their durations. Any pity built beforehand will not count towards them!
  • Building pity will risk getting "lucky" with the Valkyrie/weapon early. This resets your pity. A dupe or an incomplete Valkyrie will not be greatly beneficial!
  • If opting to build pity on a weapon supply, it's likely to miss out on later newer stigmas and end up overspending rolls or crafting materials to get them.

-# Depending on the situation, you can build pity during a spending event to reach a certain milestone. Please ask a St. Freya Professor before making any decisions as crystals could go toward units that are more worthwhile.

Free Stigmata Boxes

Hey, Captain! AichanBlush

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.

  • 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.

i know this is alot. you can read those later

reef perch
#

yeah ngl i probably should've asked questions first rather than going "surely i can figure it out right? choms "

spiral badge
#

but the point is, any resource investment before you complete a valk's gear set is kinda questionable.

#

yeah but also sometimes where's the fun in that lol

and well you're asking now

don't beat yourself up over it too much but yeah just be mindful in the future

#

give this a thorough read when you can. It prob is the most important one out of all the ones i sent tso far

reef perch
#

OHHH || i didn't realize that's the change that's coming ||

spiral badge
#

but nowadays as long as the support matches the leader properly, they generally buff all damage types. There might be some imbalances and a particular valk may buff a particular element more than others but we can consider those niche cases later

#

(it's mainly LV for lightning really)

#

but yeah this goes back to what i was grilling the AI over with mono element teams

#

it's something for part 1 but not at all the case in part 2

#

technically you can build a mono element part 2 team while still following the above rules but it prob is suboptimal and lacking compared to other combinations lol (and not due to elemental specific reasons)

reef perch
#

i think the only thing close is my roo team but iirc you mentioned vbm is just general support who happens to be fire

#

|| do we know which ring bronya will be? ||

spiral badge
#

||world star||

#

again details are in the pins of the cn channel

reef perch
#

oh ok i'll take a closer look. || kinda perfect she's world star bc i was considering asking about senadina soon lol ||

spiral badge
#

||yeah so we will be getting a free senadina too if you clear enough events next patch||

spiral badge
reef perch
#

vbm, fdd, and vbstorm

spiral badge
#

generally the first valk on the team is the leader

reef perch
#

yeah fdd is leader mb

spiral badge
#

nah not your fault. you didn't know yet

#

but now you do

#

Vita and FDD has a sharp cutoff at 2 vs 3 RoOs on the team (FDD has an exception for PAWS Helia as a support though)

#

so this is FDDs

#

but generally a geared gacha valk will prob blow out any early teams out of the water anyway for the time being

#

so maybe continue FDD dps for now until you get something better.

reef perch
#

yeah that's what i'm doing. i was thinking the pivot is coming next patch. || would it be okay to do smth like silverwing, sena, sparkle? ||

spiral badge
#

VBs does have a long elemental buff but most of her other buffs and debuffs are lightning specific. Can keep her in or try to swap her out for other lesser duration options like RC. Maybe also TA (debuffs enemies as long as her shield stays up) or Shigure Kira (can QTE in passively to apply effects. Turn off envoy of paradise skill so her ult doesn't force a swap)

#

can you post your roster actually?

#

if you have sparkle then maybe try sparkle VBm VBs instead

#

but yeah that team works. You can swap across any of them as leaders to suit the scenario too

reef perch
#

this is my box rn (not pictured is beginner kiana)

spiral badge
#

I will warn that ||SW seems quite lackluster as a dkey valk|| and senadina is quite old while sparkle is quite not notable outside of her specific use case

so overall don't hold any strong expectations

#

but it should still be a notable improvement from your current situation

#

wait so do you have sparkle or no?

reef perch
#

no no sparkle, i just saw she's getting a rerun next patch

#

just saw the rerun next patch

spiral badge
#

i don't recommend pulling for her but if you are doing it for non meta purposes then sure as long as you well considered the trade off and costs

reef perch
#

i'm not 100% pulling for her, just saw she's part of that ring archetype and is getting a rerun

spiral badge
#

oh then no forget about her lol

#

ok hang on there's a misconception going on already. A p2 team doesn't all need to be one ring type

#

it technically works but you're neglecting other possible options in the process

reef perch
#

ohh okay

spiral badge
#

in your case you would be using ||SW or Sena as leader, the other as support, and your last support can be either VBm or VBs (prob VBm). World star ring type matches with a tag called domain resonance||

reef perch
#

gotcha. you mentioned paws helia, and i saw she's also getting a rerun next patch. could i put paws with fdd then shift VBs to the second team?

#

or would that be too ambitious for light spending

spiral badge
#

yeah you can but again i don't recommend any reruns really for long term with the outlook of being meta

#

spending does help but if you're only light spending then i would still not recommend it. Eventually if you want to consider going after the highest tier of the game, gacha ops actually can be on the table (despite them being not recommended generally)

#

so the extra funds would be allocated that way

#

but also (edit: on the other hand) considering how early you are, maybe playing with barebone teams for extended period is intolerable

#

in which case sure, consider a rerun. Preferably a more recent one, and something you can actually use well

reef perch
#

gotcha. the most i plan to spend would be BP and maybe a top up in case i'm pressed to get a unit and won't make it. i get away with the roo team mentioned before and backing it up with HoT, GD, and FR as a secondary

spiral badge
spiral badge
#

You can disregard FR unless you really like her

#

her costs to get her functional and practical are more steep and is too out of date by now to justify it

reef perch
#

i just use her to fill out the team tbh and she happens to benefit from HoT lead eff

spiral badge
#

she wants her signature weapon to be pri armed mainly and wants ranks (but s1 isn't too unreasonable)

#

GD also wants her signature weapon to skip a large portion of her attacks to set up her support effects

reef perch
#

i honestly just stuck judgement of shamash on gd LOL

spiral badge
#

for now consider some combination of PV (Fischl), RC, VBm, Kira, TA, VBs for HoT dps

#

maybe less so for kira and TA but they are widely useful to justify investing lightly and using in the meantime if you got nothing else

spiral badge
reef perch
#

remind me the other units? i know fischl, vbm, kira, and vbs but idr the others

#

Usually it’s 2 of Badum FDD HLE

But sometimes PS squeaks by as best

#

And it’s not impossible you’d end up wanting someone else for a specific boss gimmick

#

Or if it’s memorial arena and the other best supports are busy in another boss

fathom harness
#

so none of the support valks are worth nowadays then?

shell basin
#

No. HoHE isn’t the worst pickup if you have her dkey but her dkey isn’t worth backpulling

#

And everyone else in there would just be for Elysian realm unlocks

#

Which is much lower priority

fathom harness
#

even hotr?

shell basin
# fathom harness even hotr?

If you have geared trio with dkey alrwady already and no Rita, or, FoV+Sparkle+Hotr full gear, and are getting ranks, it’s not the worst decision

#

But if you don’t already have her geared she’s not going to do much

fathom harness
#

hmm

#

so SW ranks will do

#

also is worth getting the pass to get horb?

probably no, right?

she's probably dependent in her dkey same as hohe, I think?

Helloo should i convert the weapons ? I dont have FoV only got the weapons on the returnee banner by luck, i dont need to use coralie anymore and well i have nothing to do with seele weapon too

#

I want to get griseo’s weapon from the exchange shop

rugged compass
#

Theres no reason to get rid of coralies wep

steep lance
#

Alright I’ll keep it

#

And fov ?

#

Tbh i feel like she could get a dkey so that weapon doesnt feel useful to me

#

And i dont have fov anyway

#

šŸ˜”

glad ice
#

u can keep fov weapon as a high atk weapon for fist user (sushang, for example)

steep lance
#

Ok ok then i will keep both

#

Thanks thanks!!!

glad ice
#

a more efficient method to get weapon resonance is to farm mirage to craft a foundry weapon then salvage ("3rd relic" sword is cheapest)

steep lance
#

Yeah but i always forget to farm the right mirage level šŸ˜”

#

But i will try to do that thx for the advice!

glad ice
#

and investing into griseo a part1 char will actually slow down ur progress

steep lance
#

Its for the 0 second team in the memorial arena

#

I dont have enough part 2 characters for that yet

#

So i thought maybe it was a good idea while farming for the future part 2 characters as well

Sensei-Cadet System

Hello, Captain! AichanWave

Click here to see more information about the specific Sensei/Cadet rewards. Main Cadet rewards are Crystals, Dorm Supply Cards, and Asterite.

Find a Sensei:

Captains of level 6~79 can become Cadets. It is recommended to become a Cadet ASAP! This system offers rewards to both Cadets and Senseis though phase missions, which are completed by doing various weekly activities and levelling up.

A Cadet will automatically graduate upon reaching level 79. Automatic graduation cancels all rewards for the current and all following stages, so keep an eye on your missions!

I'm on 50 pity left for Xentinel and it's only 3 days left.. should i keep trying to pull her or just save the crystal and wait for next S-rank banner?

wait for next version at this rate.
Pulling a valk means you'll also want the weapon and I don't see it being a realistic timeframe to do both with the time left

True, i still have 20 ch of main story part 1, but I don't think i can finish all in 3 days..

Hello, Captain! AichanWave

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

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

Oh save it is!

Next version || there's a new gacha weapon for an older unit (Silverwing) who you can unlock from War Treasury or the login valk box. Combine that with the free event unit being given out and the A rank asterite valks coralie and Helia you'll have a decent team setup ||

after that it's just a waiting game pulling new releases till your account develops to a comfortable spot

XDC can prolly kill Aponia faster cause she's BIO, but she has that long ass cutscene which might actually make you take more time than Elysia, since the cutscene doesn't stop the timer and may mess with some signet buffs if you're doing SO build

So I have a S-Rank Battlesuit Option 2026 and I'm wondering which one to choose. I have hersscher of ego + pardofelis and missing jade knight so I was wondering whether to grab jade knight or evolve human ego but since I can buy jade knight in the shop I'm wondering which one is more efficient

hexed glacier
#

Btw i kinda upgrade both dk of same group, but do i rly need to upgrade both or just 1?

lyric anvil
#

Just one

shell basin
#

From the way you're talking it sounds like you don't have Hohe dkey?

#

in which case I wouldn't reccomend either of those

#

||Silverwing is a better pickup since she's getting a dkey next patch||

hexed glacier
shell basin
#

Hohe with no dkey has no meta use atp even with 4/4 SSS JK

#

so there's no point picking up jk to support her

#

if you ||plan to pick up silverwing dkey|| get her; if you plan to pick up Hohe dkey on a rerun (not reccomended) get her ranks, if you have full trio with hofi dkey or sparkle and fully geared hotr you can consider Hotr

#

otherwise you can get any ancient legacy valk you don't own for the elysian realm unlock

vale sand
#

hm hohe isnt getting a rerun anytime soon though right? then ill just get silverwing i guess

Not in the next 4 weeks. We don't know beyond that

amything i should be aware of since im starting hi3rd (im only really playing for story)

forest oyster

does xdc sig worth to pull? like i wont regret topping up just to get her sig?

jade garnet
#

Do keep in mind that this is a competitive games, as score in competitive modes like abyss and MA will directly affect your pulling income

jade garnet
#

But I won't telll you whether you should top up or not

#

That's a personal decision you need to think about carefully

forest oyster
#

coz i heard the game is a meta shifting idk how often or how many patches. thats why if im going to invest on someone ill just need to make sure i can use her on endgame just atleast a couple of patches KianaSparkle

jade garnet
#

Just some do so much more than others

#

Basically the general adivce is

#

Don'r try to backpull older valkyries or their stuff, try to only focus on the new

#

And if you know you will not be able to guarantee a weapon for a valkyrie of a certain patch, it is better to skip said valk entirely

hexed glacier
#

There's no reason to save this stuff if i could use it right? I plan to use it for Coralie stigmata Lv1

#

Gaming for life set ones

frozen crypt
#

But if you want to give the competitive side of the game a try, the main thing is to just ask us lots of questions and only pull a (new) valkyrie if you can guarantee its weapon too

We have lots of guides in the pins for you to take a look at

#

You may have heard elsewhere that "powercreep is aggresive in hi3" and that's just not really true, it takes years for valkyries to get powercrept directly and it only has a big impact, no pun intended, for the highest abyss tier which is a) not f2p territory anyway and b) the crystal rewards compared to the 2nd highest bracket are kinda mid considering it takes a lot more effort - excluding the extra crystal bonus for being in top 100

#

What happens instead is that HoYo creates a problem (a new boss or "weather" - old boss with new stage modifiers to benefit a specific team or valk type) and sells a solution (a new valk that has specific mechanics and attributes designed to have a significant advantage on that boss)

#

U're right my bad

thick bolt
#

the targetting sends it to center of duo's body, avoiding the paws

#

I've forgotten the rot for this boss but if you're doing that 4:58 opening then adding a small delay before the 2nd WA makes it hit when duo moves paws for an attack, giving you the stack

steep lance
#

Is it better if i just evade then go directly to coralie' qte?

#

Ive done evade thne cora then teri then back to sushang

#

It ends the first part

#

But i dont have directly astral ring for the second part

#

So it feels like wasting a few second

thick bolt
#

can't find a non teri ref but the opener you stated is better yeah
let me see if I can cook something up

#

swap to luna during trans then qte coralie for the heavenly link proc for ari regen
fills up the ring

#

may need to wait a bit like the guy did for the fdd heavenly link to come off cd? need to test

#

drops a second for the sequence but better than that late opener from earlier

#

Oooh great idea im gonna test it out too thanks!!

I think i can gaom i few seconds from that šŸ™‚ā€ā†•ļø

hybrid isle
gleaming sandal
#

I mean she is lighting support

#

But op? Far from it HimekoLMAO

quick birch
# hybrid isle wait but shes very op isnt she a lightning support

In P1 Teams she functions as a lighting support yes but P1 teams generally aren't used anymore and other P1 lightning supports are often times close if not better.

P2 teams function completely differently and she's a DPS/support depending on if she's the leader or not. Who she can support has something to do with the astral ring system which functions as the core of p2 Team building

#

Generally she's also considered a mediocre support in p2 but you may find her useful for some p2 coverage if you don't have a lot of p2 units

#

If you'd like I can link you to a p2 Team building guide

gleaming sandal
#

And back pulling is almost always not a great idea

quick birch
#

Doesn't matter too much for her support cases and if they don't have any other good units she'll still prob be their best option

#

But pulling it now is brick yeah

gleaming sandal
#

Ye, pretty much, unless you're a giga whel, back pulling is almost always not a great idea

#

Especially back pull for eepy teri

hexed glacier
#

It's my 3rd day and I forgot to ask.. is HI3 highly competitive? Can i manage as casual f2p player hanging at Mid to lower mid rank?

quick birch
#

RL being the second highest rank

hexed glacier
#

Oh that's nice to know

quick birch
#

Tbh it also depends a bit on your definition of casual

#

So if you don't mind explaining your meaning of casual further

hexed glacier
#

Well, maybe only do the content mildly as f2p and don't aim for high rank

gleaming sandal
#

Aka: Do you top up? Do you mald for better score? Do you wanna get on the top rank?

hexed glacier
#

And only do pulls not so often, and not rly aiming for meta every patch

gleaming sandal
#

Or even no play apiss at all like I used to do LanternHeavyThoughts

frozen crypt
#

you get punished harder for playing inconsistently than anything else

quick birch
gleaming sandal
#

Also ayolyolao

hexed glacier
#

I see, how long do each patch usually last? And how long till new unit get power creep usually?

quick birch
hexed glacier
#

I just hope not every 2-3 month new unit get power creeped and need to keep pulling new character

#

Like genshin currently...

#

Must have Lunar unit or u cooked

#

Then next gonna update Snez-smth and new mechanic

#

New meta gotta pull again..

quick birch
#

Ofc there are exceptions to the rule but this should be fine as a general assumption

hexed glacier
#

That's good enough for me ig, in genshin u brute force with cons

#

Sad genshin noises TeriCry

#

Just try not to compare the game with genshin too much they work completely different at their core

junior cliff
thick bolt
# hexed glacier Died at floor 18 but i did it 20k points

soft tip, most of the time it's better to pivot to other signet choices once you've gotten the Core signet for a flamechaser.
Getting a Kevin core definitely would have helped more than going 9 kalpas signets there. Good job on the clear though SeelePat

junior cliff
#

who should i try getting? I kind of wanna get a team where Seele Volerai is the Main dps or a dps

thick bolt
#

not a reason to build pity though since an inadvertent pull can mess up your goals, especially since units like to be paired with their weapons

slim blaze

Whos going to tel em....

hexed glacier

I see, I'll do that next time. It just kevin's signet didn't rly appear at all in that run, ig it's just the case of bad rng
