Honkai: Star Rail v2

[north shuttle]

friend's yunli, is funny

[runic apex]

It's either salsotto or the new set, right?

The other relic on salsotto is useless I remember so the new set is easier to farm

[north shuttle]

salsoto provides all the stats she wants

duran provides a bit more once ramped up

[karmic sparrow]

yes

both are good

[winged kindle]

Guess They'll never miss a crit

[runic apex]

Genshin is releasing an artifact tuner that lets you not only select the main stat but also two substats

lol

[ivory lynx]

They adding alot of QoL to appease the angry boycott fans

[runic apex]

The only people boycotting genshin are the ones that are against the skin color in the game s:

[ivory lynx]

Yup

[green pulsar]

exactly what we need

lol

[minor pilot]

Super Resin plz

[ivory lynx]

Super duper resin

[north shuttle]

mega resin

[dapper nacelle]

ultra hyper giga resin

[dry laurel]

gallaghar worth building?

[ivory lynx]

If u don't wanna pull lingsha yes

If ur gonna pull lingsha no

[dry laurel]

saving for screwlum or fate lol

[ivory lynx]

Yea so if u have ff and u wanna use Gallagher then do it

[karmic sparrow]

just to save you time. he isnt coming

[ivory lynx]

I'm doing that

[dry laurel]

fate it is then

[karmic sparrow]

his stuff keeps getting pushed back

fate is next year. likely will be a big thing for multi patches

[dry laurel]

only 365 days

[karmic sparrow]

all of it is hear say.

[dry laurel]

q3 2025

[karmic sparrow]

im hoping we get 7 servants

7 servants = 7 paths in hsr

👀

[dry laurel]

my wallet cant handle 7 servants

[karmic sparrow]

Saber/King of Heroes. >>>

[dry laurel]

hoenstly anyone but emiya, he a bich

[karmic sparrow]

lol

i like his other version

[dry laurel]

he has another version ;o? spoilers much

[karmic sparrow]

well lol

more like route and different universe of him

so many other characters have it too

[north shuttle]

gilgamesh

[runic apex]

screwllum in star rail is just the madam ping meme in genshin

emiya has a ton of versions

[karmic sparrow]

@runic apex @ivory lynx @minor pilot @dry laurel @green pulsar

[green pulsar]

lol

BE though

[runic apex]

yoo that's so cool

rappa parappa

[ivory lynx]

This must be Yae

For obvious reasons it's a joke

[runic apex]

playing star rail and catching up on this patch's story after having played zzz for a while feels so silly

All the characters are just standing still when normal dialogue is happening

[minor pilot]

The ff14 method

[cedar solar]

Turn-based dialogue

[dry laurel]

ppl play for the story? im just here collecting waifus and husbandos

[runic apex]

The only reason to play star rail is the story, the characters are kinda mid tbh

[minor pilot]

You're kinda mid! Star Rail design is 100x better than Genshin and ZZZ to me.

Like, I didn't even want Yunli cause I didn't want to replace Clara, but I had to get her.

[elder vigil]

Lol

Think zzz has everyone beat besides with story kinda mid

Starrail def best story

[hidden seal]

hell naw star rail and WW has best char designs

ZZZ hella mid

they just add fur to chars and ppl think its peak

[elder vigil]

Can't beat expressions from zzz sadly

Star rail and wuwa sadly flat faced xd

I like star rail more than the others too xd

But even movment wise zzz kicking all the others to the curb xd

[ivory lynx]

ZZZ is by far the best when it's expressiveness and quality it doesn't matter what ya say thats the truth.
Star rail has the best story of the games it doesn't matter what ya say thats the truth.
Genshin is still genshit thats the truth

[elder vigil]

Yep ahaha

[ivory lynx]

These arguments are pointless anyways cause at the end of the day money be with hoyoverse

Stay with ur games u like and ignore the others

[elder vigil]

And wuwa just a more intense genshin at this point

[ivory lynx]

Wuwa is fun I just want it on my ps5. I use my pc for other things

[elder vigil]

Oh really thought it was on it already xd

[ivory lynx]

Nope

[elder vigil]

HOW zzz beat them xd

[ivory lynx]

I use my phone for idle and quick games, my pc for grindy games or with the buds and then my ps5 for story or action based games

As it should be

I be on everything to much lmao

[elder vigil]

When new dbz game comes out tho all being put on hold xd

[ivory lynx]

[onyx anchor]

wait

@ivory lynx gonna pull rat?

https://tenor.com/view/jane-doe-zenless-zone-zero-zzz-zenless-jane-gif-14738790479756465172

nvm wrong game

[elder vigil]

Lol

[onyx anchor]

it side effect when im in basement for too long

you can blame rat

[minor pilot]

ZZZ does have some hits, but hte misses miss HARD. WuWa isn't even close to anything else when it comes to the girls IMO.

Yinlin tried and failed

[onyx anchor]

tbh i quit 1-2 week after hit the end of the current story progess of any game

[karmic sparrow]

Story carries the characters

[hidden seal]

let's be honest HSR music shit stomps WW, ZZZ, genshin combined

[loud kelp]

the only soundtrack that memorable to me are Space Walk and Wildfire, the rest are kinda mid, not memorable enough to put in my playlist

[runic apex]

I easily skipped yunli until I started playing story yesterday, then I decided to use the 81 rolls I had saved up

Robin's if I could stop one heart from breaking still haunts me

[loud kelp]

For riddle for wonders, fading memories, maidens of sanctity, moonlike smile, dawn winery theme, and before dawn at the winery are some of the ost that still stuck with me to this day

the serene feeling everytime I heard them

[karmic sparrow]

did you say you used 80 rolls for yunli?

[green pulsar]

took me this many..

[karmic sparrow]

wow

is that your first character to hit over 100?

for me. its kafka and aventurine original releases. 120 tickets

[runic apex]

Yeah, I was on guaranteed

majority of my characters are over 150

The average should be 125~150

Talking about rates
You know how the 50/50 isn't actually a 50/50 but more like a 56/44? Because the event character is in the pool of the standard characters

That's a bug that became a feature s:

Genshin is now introducing it as if it's something new but that bug has been in the game since launch s:

[karmic sparrow]

wtf...

omg

you are so unlucky

💀

bro i need to see your pull history and the number of tickets you dump into it

[runic apex]

I don't have it saved up past 6 months ago

[karmic sparrow]

😦

[elder vigil]

Will this really be the peice

Was indeed not the peice

[north shuttle]

rip

[runic apex]

what are they apologizing for

[north shuttle]

i guess changes to her kit? CN complained about something again?

idk

[hidden seal]

nah its prob just an event

like how silver event we got 10x fuel for free

silver wolf

but they prob adding more shit since genshin 5th anniversary giving everyone free 5 star every year

[ivory lynx]

All im seeing is alot of freebies

Perfect

[north shuttle]

Sr really loves the freebies, yea

[dry laurel]

sometimes lucky i gues

7 more rooms

decent

[west hull]

Finished gearing her just in time for fox boy. Although a better chest piece might be nice.

[sleek pulsar]

14.5% crit rate roll wtf

[green pulsar]

mad lucker

i hope that .5% crit rate loss will haunt u

[west hull]

[north shuttle]

😔

[green pulsar]

[ivory lynx]

[elder vigil]

[karmic sparrow]

Rarity
★★★★
Base HP
953
Base ATK

Lose Not, Forget Not
Increases the wearer's ATK by 16 / 20 / 24 / 28 / 32%. Upon entering battle, if two or more characters follow the same Path, then these characters' CRIT DMG increases by 16 / 20 /24 /28 /32%. Abilities of the same type cannot stack.

[north shuttle]

🙂

[compact grail]

my hsr account dissapeared

i guess i wont be talking to you guys anymore it was fun while it lasted

[west hull]

how did it disappear?

[compact grail]

during the whole link to psn thing

trying to link zzz, and when i did my hst account gone

[west hull]

maybe hoyo customer service can retrieve it for you

[winged kindle]

But why? Lol

Who'd use that

[hidden seal]

rappa appearance

[runic apex]

Any offense oriented fua, but yunli isn't that x..x

[green pulsar]

wdym yunli isnt

she deals big dmg

[winged kindle]

It's not about the damage it's about the playstyle

Counters are more defensive than offensive

[runic apex]

Yeah, you need to get hit so yunli realistically deals less break damage making the BE substat worse

She also doesn't have energy problems

But the reverse is also true, any fua that doesn't counter can shine with that one

[hidden seal]

counters are op look at the MC of 7 deadly sins, any attack he counters he reflects the attack back at 2x force

[runic apex]

counters are OP yeah but they don't do shit when the enemy is stunned :3

[green pulsar]

i mean yunli deals dmg regardless

she also hits her ult if she isnt attacked, yes its less dmg but still

u can also compensate not getting hitted by swapping TY for Sparkle

more turns for yunli

[runic apex]

true, and in that regard the energy regen doesn't hurt

Ahh wait nvm, the energy regen is still meh then

counter is just awkward, she gets 15 energy when countering from her talent but then when the enemy is broken she loses a bunch of energy regen

[north shuttle]

i prefer more proactive characters

sure counters are fun, but im not really a fan of depending on the enemy for dmg

[sleek pulsar]

so play her against non-phy weak enemies I guess

[runic apex]

We'll see when hoolay comes up

Since he has like 400 speed

[ivory lynx]

I like dot and units that do burst so big number make my brain happy

[runic apex]

I want to like fua because it sounds cool but I have trouble fitting fua characters in any of my teams

DoT and BE are just too good

[sleek pulsar]

You can just make a 3rd FUA team

[runic apex]

They just need to make MoC need 3 teams

[north shuttle]

oh lord

[sleek pulsar]

would be fun ngl

Then you can actually consider using older characters

[north shuttle]

perhaps on the future

[ivory lynx]

Gimme 3 team content I'm ready

I got dot, acheron and break

Let's do it

[runic apex]

After break my dot team adapted acheron, feels sooo smooth

kafka black swan acheron huohuo
firefly HMC RM gallagher

[north shuttle]

chalk

[ivory lynx]

I could do that team but I just run acheron with pela and sw

[runic apex]

Yeah that works well too

[north shuttle]

if only i could have two ruan meis

[sleek pulsar]

wonder who jiaoqiu will replace

[ivory lynx]

Deadass

[sleek pulsar]

or just have acheron team and dot team

[ivory lynx]

Rm to good need another

[runic apex]

I'm not rolling for jiaoqiu sadly

I'm rolling calmly for his weapon though, to replace BTTMS I have on black swan

[ivory lynx]

Yea I'm skipping him to. Rn I see no reason to pull any units for me personally cause I have 3 different OP teams

[sleek pulsar]

this PF showed me that Jiaoqiu can definitely battery Acheron

[north shuttle]

this patch is probably a full skip for me'

[sleek pulsar]

with all the mobs that spawn in as replacements having massive speed boosts/action advance at the start

[ivory lynx]

I'll even be skipping fei and just be looking towards 3.0

[green pulsar]

i have enough units to easily do that xD
all im missing would be 1 sustainer

[runic apex]

jiaoqiu is defs a good unit, I just also want lingsha, the yanqing general is also tempting but ultimately 3.0 characters are gonna be crazy

[sleek pulsar]

i'm definitely going for lingsha and feixiao

jiaoqiu is a maybe

[north shuttle]

feixiao is a maybe

gonna have to see how things go

[runic apex]

feixiao sounds like it's gonna be a jing yuan situation

[sleek pulsar]

it's okay if she's not meta enough

her animations are badass and i need a wind dps anyway

[ivory lynx]

Thats what I'm afraid of

But also I skipped jing yuan cause guy

[runic apex]

feixiao is defs gonna be good her patch but I don't feel like she holds much for the future

[sleek pulsar]

she's going to be my core for FUA team

My Ratio doesn't work well somewhow

[runic apex]

mine neither despite investing in farming relics for him (no sig LC no constellations)

[sleek pulsar]

the fact that he needs debuffs is really bad for me since i only have topaz at e0s0

[north shuttle]

speaking of, might try to push topaz to e1

I do quite like the chalk man

[sleek pulsar]

topaz is such a great enabler

[elder vigil]

I did it finally a decent one

[hidden seal]

they just teased new animation for fate collab in gameawards

thats how you know its GIGA HYPE

[ivory lynx]

That was archer emiyas VA

[hidden seal]

when its still 1 year apart

[ivory lynx]

And also they had a planet behind it

100% sure it's gonna be a planet and characters

Nuff said

[hidden seal]

yeah i heard 2.5 patch

is only 1 week or 2week long

https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail_leaks/comments/1ewwvtg/25_patch_might_be_shorter_duration/

or maybe it's 1 week or 2 week shorter

[hidden seal]

https://youtu.be/huTDtxqzKgE?si=QIDASGXwdk4lOWuT&t=69

[runic apex]

I'm 100% certain fate collab will not have a planet but 3.0 being ancient greece themed, that already alligns with theming that fits fate

[ivory lynx]

na its a planet

nuff said

also that dpesmt fit fate stay night

if it was fgo id 100% agree with u

[runic apex]

Ohh true, but a stay night specific planet would be so boring

[hidden seal]

hell naw thats when they introduce pvp to the game

12 man battle royale

[ivory lynx]

LETS GO PVP

DO IT

jk

dont

[runic apex]

doesn't all of stay night just happen in our world in our current day and age

[ivory lynx]

yes

let it all take place in japan planet

ez

[runic apex]

I don't want a tokyo in star rail

[ivory lynx]

i do

[runic apex]

or an akihabara

[ivory lynx]

[runic apex]

shibuya

japan planet sounds slightly more fun

they could also make france planet though :shivers:

or britain planet

[ivory lynx]

[karmic sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/ubw-fate-stay-night-gif-23814189

0-cycle pf4 with auto yunli/jade goes kinda hard not gonna lie

[elder vigil]

I been saying it since yunli day one

[west hull]

[green pulsar]

GILGAMESHHHH CONFIRMED

or was that lancers voice

ah nvm that was lancer

[cedar solar]

Its Archer

or Sukuna

either or

[green pulsar]

i meant archer ye

got confused with both of them xd

This killed me

[frank urchin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mzfju3RKvGQ

@fair dragon

1 year to cook smth

[ivory lynx]

[frank urchin]

ubw collabs

[karmic sparrow]

i doubt he will come back for that

[frank urchin]

are always saber rin archer

[karmic sparrow]

isnt his acc dead?

[frank urchin]

im playing his acc

[karmic sparrow]

oh

did you change your name

[ivory lynx]

Yea eiyuu is his pilot lmao

[karmic sparrow]

on it

[frank urchin]

yea

lit me

[ivory lynx]

[karmic sparrow]

You f2p on it

[frank urchin]

i spend like monthly packs on it

[karmic sparrow]

casual spender

😮

[ivory lynx]

Nah mega came back to swipe max acheron for good Ole eiyuu

[frank urchin]

been basically f2p since

[ivory lynx]

[frank urchin]

got gems saved up for kafka

since i missed the 50:50 on ruan mei

[ivory lynx]

I'm saving hard since I don't care about nothing else at this point

[frank urchin]

u technically right

[ivory lynx]

Got my 3 teams

[frank urchin]

but i want kafka before i save for fsn

[ivory lynx]

Ye I gotcha

I have her already so that's why I don't need anything lmao

[frank urchin]

u think 1 year is enough for e6?

[ivory lynx]

Monthly with free 10 pulls every major patch plus anni stuff uhhhh no

I don't think so cause rng is still a factor

If u get fucked over

[frank urchin]

[ivory lynx]

If u be hitting early tho

[winged kindle]

Above 30k score with Yunli and Fu Xuan xD

[karmic sparrow]

Eidolons?

[west hull]

Jade and yunli are only e1. Both are pretty well geared tho

[karmic sparrow]

numbers on this video is fucking nuts bro

i assume you got their lcs too?

[west hull]

Ya both have lc. This is jade atm

And yunli I already posted up top

[karmic sparrow]

did you already have this relics invested and did not care for her elemental relics?

[west hull]

Ya I had a bunch of sigonia left over and I only ever use her in PF anyway

[north shuttle]

honestly, we rioting if gilgamesh doesn't make the cut

[runic apex]

gilgamesh does appear in ubw so he's practically guaranteed

Too bad alexander won't appear 😦

[ivory lynx]

While yes gilga is in ubw artoria is more likely

Definitely it'll be emiya and artoria

[runic apex]

Oh I assumed they would just release three characters

[ivory lynx]

Well if we do get a third it'd fall to gilga unless they wanna make rin a unit

[frank urchin]

why stop at 2

gil archer artoria

[ivory lynx]

Nah let's get rin

Nah Nah

Let's get berserker

[runic apex]

does serker appear in ubw?

[ivory lynx]

Heracles

[frank urchin]

based on other fate ubw collabs

[cedar solar]

gil looks basic in ubw no?

[frank urchin]

its most likely archer, gil, saber, rin, shirou

first 3 have higher likely hood

[runic apex]

heracles is ilya's summon?

Ilya from fate kaleid isn't too far fetched in that case

[ivory lynx]

Well we also have to take into consideration that hoyo and fate ppl been talking for a long time before this collab was announced

So we could get more

Cause this wasn't outta nowhere

They been chatting for a minute

[frank urchin]

i bet u

[runic apex]

It kind of was

[frank urchin]

nasu wrote the collab

its gonna be huge

[runic apex]

I'm pretty sure this announcement was made the moment they signed an agreement

without any actual planning done yet

[ivory lynx]

Nah I remember last year hoyo and fate ppl meeting up just to talk

[runic apex]

They had to grab the bull by the balls in this scenario, make promises to the people so they couldn't turn around/cancel the collab anymore

[ivory lynx]

So yes no work done but ideas have been talked

[frank urchin]

if its just a rando collab they couldve made this ages ago but this a big one

ive seen bunch of random fate collabs in other games

[ivory lynx]

Yea this is the biggest hoyo collab the only other one was Eva and that one was ok in hi3

No other collab at all

None

[runic apex]

there's also street fighter 7 in zenless, isn't there

[ivory lynx]

What so ever

[runic apex]

I remember one more collab

[frank urchin]

and we know da wei is huge fate nerd

[ivory lynx]

Sf6 and we don't kno wtf that is with sf6 and zzz tbh

There hasn't been nothing for zzz

[runic apex]

AHh here it is

horizon zero dawn collab in genshin

that's a big one too

[ivory lynx]

Nope that doesn't exist at all

[runic apex]

Yeah it does

It released a whole character :3

It's a big game IP too

[ivory lynx]

Must've been a meta unit

[runic apex]

A bigger game IP than evangelion s:

[ivory lynx]

Horizon is a industry plant game. Like it's big but the popularity is weird cause it does decent but has no hype especially the sequel when it dropped

I forgot what also released but horizon died

Think it was elden ring at the time

[runic apex]

elden ring released at the same time yeah

horizon devs stooped down to saying elden ring is shit as a reason why people should play horizon

quite disrespectful

But the first game was good

At that point they weren't silly yet

[hidden seal]

Jq t1 across all modes

[runic apex]

jiaoqiu isn't bad yeah

[frank urchin]

pass

wadeva

[elder vigil]

Lol

Thank God I forgot he was out first

[novel mauve]

sparkle more worth it than jiao this banner rotation

[ivory lynx]

Yea ngl I didn't realize he just dropped

So I did a pro gamer move

I won 50/50

Now I have a sparkle

[west hull]

should be fine right??? surely...

[runic apex]

jiaoqiu is better tbh but he has to compete with kafka and black swan

sparkle competes with no one, no harmony character that does what she does

[north shuttle]

5 person team when?

[green pulsar]

idk if hes that much better than pela in acheron team

[karmic sparrow]

https://www.reddit.com/r/FeixiaoMains_/comments/1exfycv/eagle_set_bis/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

[karmic sparrow]

He's worth it for Acheron reasons. Skip worthy if you dont have her.

[novel mauve]

didnt see that he was nihility

gonna wait to see what numbers are after people do enough test with pela and him

[karmic sparrow]

early access has videos of him

and some of them go in depth. pretty sure they dont talk about his lc tho

[runic apex]

does he alone feed enough so that you can have a harmony and sustain?

I guess an extra nihility would always give more acheron UB stacks

[north shuttle]

debating on going for e2

[minor pilot]

Good choice.

[sleek pulsar]

I ran JQ Acheron Sparkle FX, in PF acheron gets to ult much faster than my previous BS Kafka Acheron Huohuo team

But then Acheron ult deletes the enemy line so next JQ's ashen roast stacks don't carry over to the next wave, so you have to skill again at least

Might try JQ Acheron Pela Sparkle later

[west hull]

Just needa max traces next. Hopefully he’s worth

[novel mauve]

nan

i grab her e1 too, since it give 40% atk, but e2 doesnt seem as big as a boost as her e1, e1s1 good enough

[green pulsar]

8% def pen per stack and i think its 4 stacks so 24% def pen

i wouldnt say its not worth it

[elder vigil]

Wouldn't that be 32% xd

[north shuttle]

it would

[green pulsar]

yeah math is hard, im dumb xd

[novel mauve]

[west hull]

guess it's my lucky day

[runic apex]

I wish I had that

[sleek pulsar]

[final wing]

illegal

[runic apex]

if this is multiplication nerf, will we get another 1600 primogems

[karmic sparrow]

Damn i knew his shit was good.

[sleek pulsar]

You can pull 2x sig LC and have 1 each on BS and JQ

[karmic sparrow]

i wish i had

sadly no bs 😦

[karmic sparrow]

2.7 leak

Shit we already know but tagging it

[green pulsar]

oh bailu powercreep?

[north shuttle]

It's bailover

[hidden seal]

Nah it's legit necromancer, you kill the opponent they join your side for a few turns. Calling it rn

[hidden seal]

I'm gonna bust or bust

[runic apex]

I am so curious what they are gonna do with tingyun

considering the person she is, would she thread the dark path due to her situation or would she remain on a rightful path

[hidden seal]

She will be the rightful path but will have a split personality disorder

[elder vigil]

Or maybe feel bad for what happend and be normal

[karmic sparrow]

C tier if its true

[green pulsar]

xD

[runic apex]

Imagine if they decided to implement an uncleansable doom debuff in star rail

[ivory lynx]

Good

They need to start adding mechanics so auto Andy's gotta play the game

That would be hilarious

[ionic flower]

Nah

No way

[karmic sparrow]

https://youtu.be/_KCUvXisNZs?si=aMMb55n5jv0U5_8D

[ivory lynx]

I just realized this event is just to demonstrate how minions or summons are gonna work in some way lmao

[hidden seal]

we had that summon event with all the weapons, i think that one was to test summons

where enemies had a billion hp

[ivory lynx]

i dont think that one had the specific UI for the trashcans

where its a lil icon above the character summoner

and they have a lil health bar to

[green pulsar]

yeah the weapon thingy was also one way

i highly believe they will add something like this in the future

with another banner

that lets u summon for these fuckers

weapons/minions

if they ever do that they for sure either need to give us more free gems or make the gacha dirt cheap

like 30 pity or so

[runic apex]

pets are kind of confirmed

well leaked

[runic apex]

Ohh I didn't finish my sentence

zenless zone zero has bangboos and a f2p bangboo banner, then immediately after star rail leaks inform us of a potential pet system in star rail

I think bangboos are great and as long as it's f2p there's no space for complaints

In zzz bangboos just do a passive/active action in the background, similar to the current event

[hidden seal]

bangaboos are cute, they are like pompom

[runic apex]

https://vxtwitter.com/ZenlessW0rld/status/1827122033055924367?t=7vZeJDEMV8K9Mb5SGnLsQg&s=19

like this :3

eous wants to join too :3

[ivory lynx]

I wanna punt them

[hidden seal]

lol wtf u can no sustain the fastest boss and most hp boss in hsr history https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDtNS-uWAEo&t=1s

[gentle falcon]

The trash cans events are kinda too much lately

everything it's about them lately

[runic apex]

The photoshoot event explained why in its story

It literally said they're just asset flipping because it's fast and cheap :3

Because alternatively you could've imagined, since it was themed like pokemon snap they could also have picked all the overworld monsters

But went with trashbins anyway, and the asset flip reason is a good explanation

[ivory lynx]

Nah the reason we get trash bins is because trailblazer is the trash panda

The meme of trailblazer and trash has been around since the start

Belebog being the prime start

[runic apex]

this event also started with natasha in belobog

[ivory lynx]

THATS HUGE

So like acheron?

[runic apex]

It's the genshin banner that only ran once in genshin where you could select between 6 characters and 6 weapons

[ionic flower]

huh

wtf

[hidden seal]

@green pulsar

[green pulsar]

bullshit 😮

[runic apex]

march is just a mid gimmick

[karmic sparrow]

for funnies

[rain jacinth]

decided to finally do the event but how do i proceed here? im talking to this dummy but nothing happens

only says this and the message closes

[runic apex]

go to aurum alley?

this is the status after you beat up yanqing and have selected which ending you want to play out

[rain jacinth]

where in the valley? there's no pop up quest icon?

@green pulsar @runic apex @ivory lynx face reveal

[ionic flower]

nice

skip

[loud kelp]

[ionic flower]

sw would win

trust

[minor pilot]

WE LIKE SHORT SHORTS

[ivory lynx]

She looks cool as fuck ngl

Depending on what she does I'd pull just cause

[minor pilot]

Theme sounds super tacky and dumb to me. But design is S tier.

Def a wait and see.

She doesn't dethrone SW as my top design spot. But she's up there.

[runic apex]

is this calliope mori from hololive english

[green pulsar]

holy shit she looks good

gonna skip feixiao

not liking her gameplay

[karmic sparrow]

gameplay?

you mean FUA?

[green pulsar]

her playstyle

i dont like it

she also deals no big dmg if u ask me

sure her ult does but thats about it

still only slightly better than acheron ult vs ST

[runic apex]

Currently still feels very much like she compares to current DPS's like how jing yuan at that time compared to then DPS's

[hidden seal]

that's good we dont need powercreep

[hidden seal]

oh fk

pryweden might drop ruan mei from t0 and put robin there only

for pure fiction

[green pulsar]

who cares what prydwin does honestly

https://i.imgur.com/Hpm3SDg.png

uh

random pull for no reason

9 pity...

[hidden seal]

lol did u just use hard pity on JQ

i mean guranteed limited 5 star or whatever u call it

[green pulsar]

yes

wanted him to boost my acheron xd

[runic apex]

tell me how he feels

I don't want to spend money on gacha anymore so won't be able to get both him and lingsha

do you also have the LC?

[green pulsar]

well faster ults for acheron

like way faster than with pela

[sleek pulsar]

Much more ults and more comfortable in PF

[runic apex]

I'll hold off for now, I want lingsha and then I want xilonen on genshin and I'm rolling for jane in zenless

I should just safe up in star rail

It's not like we need it

[north shuttle]

Prep for fate

[hidden seal]

around 2 hours and 20 mins to see if we get another 5 star in 2.6

all leakers saying Rappa is only 5 star in 2.6, let the heavens decide

[north shuttle]

interesting

[runic apex]

is rappa sunday's rapper name?

[karmic sparrow]

no

[sleek marlin]

I can’t wait to e6 rappa

[frank urchin]

is this out yet?

or coming soon?

havent logged in a minute LOL

[sleek marlin]

It’ll be out Wednesday or Tuesday I think?

Oh he sure is. NICE

[runic apex]

[runic apex]

that aired a couple hours ago

They only showed part 1, lingsha banner in part 2 not announced?

I'm wondering who runs alongside lingsha

[winged kindle]

Topaz is

[runic apex]

Ohh I see now, thanks

[minor pilot]

Finally picking up Kafka cone. But do I try to pick up Robin or wait for Acheron to Slot onto DoT team?

[sleek marlin]

Acheron

Robin will be good for everything else other that dot

So if you’re going for dot you may want to wait on her.

[minor pilot]

I like acheron more too. Just hear Robin is good for dot, so makes sense to rerun with kakfa and swan

[sleek marlin]

Robin is good for everything but her low e isn’t as amazing as if you e6’d her

Acheron is one of the top 3 damage dealers

So if you don’t have either id get Acheron first.

[minor pilot]

I don't really understand how acheron/swan/kafka teams manage sp.. but I like the characters. I'll manage.

[sleek marlin]

So basically

Acheron’s ult is built off dot

Every time a unit applies dot

She gets a mark to her ult

At e0 you need 2 dot units other than her on the team to build fast

[elder vigil]

Dots count as debuffs I take it ? Xd

[sleek marlin]

She needs 8 dot applications I think? To use her ult

Yes

Her ult is busted and does a crazy amount of dmg

E6 Acheron is nuts.

But the fox boy that’s being pulled now is dot

And they’re saying he’s better than black swan if I recall.

For Acheron teams

[minor pilot]

I don't care if hes better. My primos exist only for waifus.

[sleek marlin]

Then do what you feel is best. Lol

[green pulsar]

acheron needs 9 debuffs

and any unit that provides lots and fast debuffs = acheron ult spam

[green pulsar]

it doesnt

it will run out of SP fairly quick

[minor pilot]

Seems like a pretty common team though

[elder vigil]

Me here with e2

[green pulsar]

its bad if u ask me

acheron gains little to no dmg buffs

and shes the main dps

kafka does nothing for her

BS gives def down

thats it

ur better off running pela instead of kafka

[minor pilot]

But mommies.

Worth

[green pulsar]

as long as u dont struggle

[elder vigil]

My team for her

[green pulsar]

mine

[elder vigil]

[green pulsar]

she gets hella fast ults

[elder vigil]

I'd use sw but I hear she not as good as pela?

[elder vigil]

New guy any good? I hear he a skip xd

[green pulsar]

SW is not good in aoe type dps scenarios

[green pulsar]

hes better than pela

[elder vigil]

By alot or ?

[minor pilot]

https://i.redd.it/1bho1vukwmgd1.jpeg mine

[green pulsar]

dmg buffing wise not that much but he applies much faster dots

[minor pilot]

I don't know what it says. Don't need to know

Wait that's rm not acheron. I was tricksd

[sleek marlin]

I hear ya.

[elder vigil]

I'm f2p tho xd

[green pulsar]

[sleek marlin]

This is my Acheron team

[green pulsar]

geppy huh

no fx or HH?

[elder vigil]

[sleek marlin]

Yeah. Universal trend market light cone on him

I have every unit in the game

But he works better for this team

[green pulsar]

fx would be better with the same lc if u ask me

[elder vigil]

She gives acheron some extra cr too

[green pulsar]

or if u have everyone than aven would be best

[elder vigil]

Lol

[green pulsar]

he applies debuffs too

[sleek marlin]

My gepard is e6 runs regen belt and the rotation is better. I prefer this.

But the fox I don’t have yet

I’ll swap him in soon if that’s how you mean.

I’ll have him by Monday.

[green pulsar]

i dont dig robin in there with a sustainer

sparkle would be better

[sleek marlin]

My robin is e6

[green pulsar]

robin is as sustainer replacement

[sleek marlin]

I don’t need a sustain. Gepard is fine to keep shields up.

I do a shit ton of dmg. Everyone on this team is e6.

So everything dies.

And I get a free turn thanks to robin.

[elder vigil]

My favorite team rn

Sound of yunli parry too satisfying

[sleek marlin]

I’m still trying to find a good partner for jade beyond herta

[minor pilot]

Just started building my yunli

[elder vigil]

Yunli

[sleek marlin]

It doesn’t slap as good

I use this for my yunli team

The follow up is so crazy.

[elder vigil]

Ever try with jade?

[sleek marlin]

I did

Didn’t like it

[elder vigil]

I'm surprised xd

[sleek marlin]

I prefer herta or himeko with jade

[elder vigil]

Fair enough

[sleek marlin]

My jade team

That silver wolf slot is interchangeable

I just use her when there’s no fire weakness or quantum.

But you’d be happy cause jade x yunli does work.

[elder vigil]

Yus ahaha

My yunli still needs work on relics x.x

[sleek marlin]

What set do you use?

[runic apex]

I was pretty sure kafka can give acheron three stacks at once

that's a decent damage buff if you ask me

I might be wrong though s:

ah wait I'm pretty sure kyu's acheron is e6

I think that makes a considerable difference

[elder vigil]

The new set xd

[sleek marlin]

I’m using the same. Lol

[sleek marlin]

Pela is better for Acheron in general but e0 Acheron needs two nihility while e6 only needs 1

So their team comps are different.

[runic apex]

Nahh I mean acheron's damage is more to begin with so buffing her is a bigger benefit than having an additional good unit

Pela doesn't do anything other than debuff and give some stacks

it's undeniable that kafka is more of a battery than pela, but she also does damage herself

[sleek marlin]

Dot 4 u.

[novel mauve]

i got the wolf dude and he is indeed better than pela in the team

[runic apex]

I decided to throw a 12.000 yen at the game to try to get jiaoqiu but I lost the 50/50 and got himeko instead (just now after this chat)

[sleek marlin]

The debuff is better for Acheron than anything else.

That’s the most important thing.

[runic apex]

exactly, and acheron is stronger at e6 but at e2 she does much less damage to begin with

so the debuff enhances her less

so the damage kafka multiplies is worth more

[sleek marlin]

No it still does.

Kafka on an e6 Acheron does not outweigh pela.

[runic apex]

kafka + bs on e2 acheron outweighs pela

on e6 pela definitely outweighs them

[sleek marlin]

I don’t agree. The end result output dmg Acheron does in general is more than Kafka could add to the situation. But it’s up to you what you want.

But you still get the option of both on lower acherons cause they still need 2 dot

[runic apex]

true, black swan + kafka + acheron is a cheaper team and that's the main reason I pick it

It clears content easily

If I got jiaoqiu I would be running kafka + black swan + jiaoqiu + acheron

[sleek marlin]

That’s fair. But if I were you? I’d probably use pela, black swan and Acheron and your sustain. That def debuff makes Acheron’s ult outweigh having Kafka. I think Kafka isn’t even great on a Acheron team when it comes to numbers. I think Kafka needs her own team where she’s king. Thankfully with jiaoqiu you can do that now.

But it’s up to you.

Now that he’s out I’m probably going to use him on my Acheron team over pela

[runic apex]

that either way yeah, jiaoqiu is better than all options

[sleek marlin]

I can’t wait to get him

I’m waiting till I work this weekend tho. Cuz I just spent money on convallia. Lol

[runic apex]

I'm gonna wait till the last day to spend, though primogem sources are scarce currently

[sleek marlin]

Same

[ionic flower]

man

wonder if i roll for topaz

[elder vigil]

I rolled for topaz the second time she came xd

Sadly I never even use her

[sleek marlin]

Do you have dr ratio?

Or blade?

@elder vigil @ionic flower

[ionic flower]

ye

free ratio

no blade

have robin

e5s4 clara

no adventurine

[sleek marlin]

Ratio and topaz work together

[elder vigil]

I never liked him so I skipped xd

[sleek marlin]

Robin works well with their comp

[ionic flower]

ye

[sleek marlin]

Blade works well with topaz

But if you got your ratio she’s his best partner.

[ionic flower]

game is literallly trying to shit break/FuA comps to us hard

[sleek marlin]

It’s still gonna take a lil longer on that.

[elder vigil]

Yeah I have too many follow up now lol

Originally it was dot

[ionic flower]

i basically skipped em all

except robin

[runic apex]

does robin yunli topaz be good?

[minor pilot]

sounds good

[sleek pulsar]

Double calyx event is a great time to farm the hunt bullet traces for Feixiao

with this team in this calyx, RM never gets to use her skill

[runic apex]

I'm assuming linghsa needs abundance traces 2 so I'm farming those

[green pulsar]

https://hsr17.hakush.in/char/1222

https://i.imgur.com/xfst47f.png

[runic apex]

thank you ^-^

[green pulsar]

[sleek marlin]

Robin with almost any team is good but yunli topaz is not it.

Topaz works off her follow-up being built up off active attacks that move a lot. While it could work while countering a lot the conversion is better from units that are just bouncing back to back.

It’s why her and ratio work or blade

[karmic sparrow]

Robin is good for dot btw.

Its pretty much another good supportive unit for them. Like HH and RM

[minor pilot]

Will see how lucky I get for kafka cone then decide.

[karmic sparrow]

If i am reading this right. Does she need 20 more crit rate for full 80-100%?

[karmic sparrow]

If you got Robin f2p lc from the event. thats also nice

also the M7 lightcone is another greater lc for her

[runic apex]

isn't the only thing robin does for DoT the 16% speed buff on e2

[sleek marlin]

Pretty much.

[minor pilot]

I assume I do. Haven't missed any event cones I know of. I just don't wanna spend my all my savings when I don't know anything bout Rappa or what's after. I like to keep 160+ draws on hand in case of a must have suprise

Like who's to say m7 true form isn't 2.7 or 3.0 or whatever!?

[sleek marlin]

She’s not a needed thing for dot teams but if you got a e6 robin she’s good for everything tbh

[minor pilot]

I'm never e6in anyone I'm f2p

[runic apex]

seems robin does a bit more than that for dot

[sleek marlin]

I know people who are f2p and have e6

You never know.

But robin honestly out of all of the units in the game

Is probably the best e6 thusfar

[runic apex]

if a f2p has robin at e6 they probably don't have any other unit

[sleek marlin]

I know people with a e6 unit and has other units.

Again, you just never know.

That’s where your true luck factor comes in

[karmic sparrow]

yeah if you got it from the event. its a good replacement

but the only thing the lc is missing is energy. which robin honestly needs

[green pulsar]

i get to 100% with FX in fight

[karmic sparrow]

Thats probably why

i dont have her to make up for the crit rate.

[green pulsar]

also did u calculate 10% from sparkle?

[karmic sparrow]

wait sparke gives you 10 crit rate??

[green pulsar]

her LC yes

[karmic sparrow]

oh wow...

i forgot about that tbh

[green pulsar]

this is why its broken and ppl use it on all harmony xd

[karmic sparrow]

i just thought it was more crit dmg

[green pulsar]

i need to get myself another copy someday

for bronya

[karmic sparrow]

shit

i regret not getting it. but i was pretty broken

f2p life 😦

i wanted JQ lightcone but i want character more and i dont mind using my f2p lcs i have since im able to clear content with easy

[green pulsar]

bronya actually can refill mask too

so she can keep the effect

due to rng, if u have eidolons

[karmic sparrow]

that makes sense why sparkle was recomended for acheron.

well more like support options

[green pulsar]

sparkle is insane with acheron

i prefer her on acheron over a 2nd nihility

but thats me (i do have e6 but even at e0 id do this)

acherons own dmg will go down a bit but ull get more turns and a shit load of crit dmg to compensate

[karmic sparrow]

i think the problem with it is trying to stack her ult up faster

which jq helps a lot now

unless you got aventurine/gall to help with it too

[green pulsar]

https://i.imgur.com/j7oCxIj.png

WOW

[green pulsar]

ya

hes insane for her

which is why i got him

[karmic sparrow]

did you get his lc?

[green pulsar]

ditched pela for him

yes

[karmic sparrow]

tbh thats fair

i mean its upgrade unit for her comp

most 4 stars are just temp units until a 5 star joins the meta

[green pulsar]

i mean dmg wise

nothing changes toooo much

[karmic sparrow]

gall > lingcha
guin > JQ
asta > RM

[green pulsar]

pela still good there
but he makes acheron stack ult so much faster

thats why hes an upgrade

i mean mine is also E1 so another 40% dmg boost

[sleek marlin]

What’s his e6?

Is it worthwhile?

[runic apex]

it's 27% all res down debuff to enemy (3% per stack of ashen roast)

So it's a good e6

not that I have the funds for it after firefly

[north shuttle]

Who needs a second nihility anyways, just get acheron to e2 and beyond

🗣️

[runic apex]

I don't have sparkle and nihility units are broken so I like a second nihility despite my acheron being E2

[west hull]

whale

[hidden seal]

3.0 we're getting a goat erudition emanator, save ur jades for the giga power creep

actually not sure if it's erudition

2.7 1st and 2nd banner

[ivory lynx]

Oh yea emanators are definitely a must pull

[ionic flower]

Mid yuan

[ivory lynx]

Nah that wasn't a emanator

That was basura

Acheron tho?

Thats the real shit

My head Canon is there's pretend ones and real ones

[frank urchin]

i mean arent there diff tiers of emanators

some can use more power of the aeon and some use less

[green pulsar]

TRUE FORM HERTA

WOOOOOO

[ivory lynx]

Again fake jing yuan

Gigachad acheron

It's that simple

[ivory lynx]

Just when I was gonna use 4* herta they do this shit smh

[green pulsar]

well playstyle will be different i guess

though i do hope she remains ice

but we shall see

[runic apex]

phantylia is an emanator, isn't she? but she's also a heliobus

So that would say so yeah s: since her heliobus form is useless ass (immortal tho) but merging with the tree made her OP

I wanted to be anti about herta but there's nothing to be anti about

[sleek marlin]

I’m so tired of this game sometimes

I love hsr. So much

But my biggest gripe with this game is when I came to it - I thought I’d get a bunch of cyber punk and futuristic feels from it.

But once I hit belobog….

It’s been londoesque to feudal china to I guess penacony is avant-garde futuristic?

And now Ancient Greece. I’m tired boss.

I just want a futuristic punkelorde already.

[novel mauve]

maybe once we get to inupeis we will have futuristic vibes

if its not already destroyed by the robots

[ivory lynx]

Punklord won't happen till 4.0

[hidden seal]

im only pulling for collabs and emantors from now on

i only want OP ppl in my team

[sleek marlin]

Must be nice.

I pull for every unit in the game.

And I can’t turn back now.

[karmic sparrow]

you arent a whale 😮

i only pull for favs who make my fav characters shine

[sleek marlin]

I consider myself a human being. Whales have no need for human “currency”

Meh. It all happened when I e6’d seele.

I was talking to my friends about yuan they were like

[karmic sparrow]

lol

[sleek marlin]

“Yo he’s gonna be busted! There’s videos showing his e6 and he’s as good as seele!”

And I was like “eh, not my type of character. He looks boring”

[bronze sentinel]

save for fate collab

[sleek marlin]

“I’ll just pull when he goes to standard banner”

Oh how that sentence changed my life

“UH… BANNER CHARACTERS DONT GO TO STANDARD POOL”

Ruined me

[karmic sparrow]

i wish i had jy and blade

but im glad i dont

[sleek marlin]

I’m glad I got blade

Glad I e6’d him too

Blade continues to surprise me.

No other unite surprises me like he has.

[hidden seal]

lowkey hope 5 star herta ain't DPS

i need some op ass support or tank

and acheron was our first dps emantor

dont think they gunna make her dps

[ivory lynx]

I need more dps

Only dps

Dps that do everything

Dps that can 1 man content

[elder vigil]

Kafka ur girl then

[ivory lynx]

[sleek marlin]

RIP seele.

They ruined you.

[ivory lynx]

Who's seele

Straight basura that's who

[sleek marlin]

Man. The one hitter quitter of nights olde

The sun has long since come.

[ionic flower]

bro this trash can event
