Honkai: Star Rail v2

[hidden seal]

if u think jade is a BIS slot then u crazy

she's definitely getting powercrept easily

[green pulsar]

well ur taking the future into account which we dont know what will happen

for example, thats as if saying JL will get her future BiS support

we are in 3.0 soon and from the leaks no unit will help her

[hidden seal]

JL can get a bis but she still won't be better

than all the new dps

[green pulsar]

she can

she lacks skill modifier so far and some dmg %

it depends on how they could implement it

the amount of turns she gets can compensate the dmg per screenshot

i main her, i know her flaws and what could make her better

[hidden seal]

bro dmg per screenshot means nothing

[green pulsar]

i never said that

i was saying something else with that

im saying her nuke dmg might be lower than for example the newer units

but she gets a shit load of turns

[hidden seal]

and if u want a real check then it would be the average against all boss

[green pulsar]

making up for it

[hidden seal]

or u can just choose a weakness locked boss and compare acheron to firefly and rappa

u can't just be bias

cause its for ur fav char lmao

[green pulsar]

iam not bias lol

i even say that atm JL sucks cuz shes missing her BiS support

[hidden seal]

there's no way u think herta doesn't powercreep acheron

[green pulsar]

from what ive seen, i do

[hidden seal]

u gave 1 video

[green pulsar]

as long as acheron is being used with Jiaq

yea cuz its the only video where its being showcased directly

[hidden seal]

and ur criteria was how fast it took to kill a boss

despite both being the same cycles

[green pulsar]

well

if a boss takes me 1min

instead of the new unit taking 2+ mins

i guess

and like i said, even on other bosses

[hidden seal]

ok if firefly clears the 3 twin mobs vs acheron that means firefly > acheron

[green pulsar]

with the same setup, her clear time will be faster

i mean

i play acheron on any boss in MoC or whatever else there is

she just clears easily

sometimes even one shots the boss

[hidden seal]

lmao most e6 dps will 1 shot the boss

especially when ur supports are high ediolions as wlel

[green pulsar]

ok so how did they not, vs that new 3.0 boss? 😄

[hidden seal]

bro i literally just told u why ur criteria for powercreeping is completely wrong

[green pulsar]

lol

sure

[hidden seal]

no one would agree with u

[green pulsar]

ah then u better not read the comments in that video

[hidden seal]

cause they can't think critically

that's a them problem

[green pulsar]

u need to know, that comparison was E6S1
those units might function or perform way different at E0S1

so herta might be stronger if not compared E6 vs E6

but clearly E6 acheron is way stronger, even if we ignore the boss mechanic

[hidden seal]

ok so if he made a video in SU, u would have complained

lmao

despite herta will stomp acheron in clear due to her technique

if u saying u won't complain then ure lying to urself

ure be like do it in a real end game mode

[green pulsar]

just watch the time stamped part for a second https://youtu.be/RJ5i6Od-ffY?t=3066

herta kills the adds, one survives, the boss still has 43% hp left

it is what it is

she should excel here too
her ult dealing +400% dmg

[hidden seal]

what does that have to do with anything

[green pulsar]

vs 5 enemies

[hidden seal]

backload kits will do more than consistent dmg kit

both still 0 cycles

[green pulsar]

thats what im saying

acheron with jiaq spams ults

that deal gazillion dmg

i can at least use ult twice per cycle

[hidden seal]

ok if that was a boss that doesn't summon anything

acheron will take ages

like i said ur argument is flawed

just because this boss is good for her

u just spam this evidence

despite knowing it favors her

[green pulsar]

ok so which boss nowadays

does not summon?

i know of none

[hidden seal]

pretty sure sam doesnt summon

[green pulsar]

and when was the last time hes been used as MoC of PF or AS boss?

yea ages

99% of the bosses out there summon ads

[hidden seal]

there's prob more i dont remember every single boss

[green pulsar]

why even bother coming up with one boss that doesnt

but i do most bosses

and they summon at least once

which is why im saying

from my own experience, using acheron no matter what weakness, no matter what content
she ults at least, twice per cycle

if it doesnt kill with the first ult that is

and im not even using Aventurine

this makes her get slower stacks

[hidden seal]

yes ur team prob has like 10+ cost

any high tier dps can do that

[green pulsar]

man

im comparing full fledged out teams

against each other

they should by default be the same cost

i dont get it

[hidden seal]

lmao end game is all about CYCLES, any team can 0 cycle with insane high investments

if they both 0 cycle

that doesnt mean 1 is better than the other

[green pulsar]

u seem to misunderstand what im writing

i was talking purely about clear time

if a unit takes half the time

to me thats way superior

the dmg comes out way quicker

meaning faster clears

cycle or whatever i never cared about it

the cost thingy is just fance

so that the playing field is the same

but if its the same to begin with

[hidden seal]

if u're talking about that then

1. he doesn't autoplay so he stalls different amount of time for different teams
2. He 100% doesn't know how to play the herta to her full potential since shes new

[green pulsar]

if same cost and same 0 cycle clear is done
what else to compare with? clear time

yes, but he didnt stall 1 mins worth of time

and acherons ult manually takes a tad bit longer too

[hidden seal]

also chars with fua attacks will take longer

u get adventurine coins dropping which does like 0 dmg

[green pulsar]

all im talking about is clear time in itself

nothing more nothing lese

[hidden seal]

yes the more animation u have the longer the clear right

[green pulsar]

couldnt care less about cost nor cycle as both should be the same for a high end player

[hidden seal]

FUA has way more animations

[green pulsar]

i play FUA myself and i know that

[hidden seal]

so ur comparing based on the length of the youtube video

[green pulsar]

but what defines powercreep, if the so said powercreep unit clears slower, and im just sitting here, watching my team clear much faster than the new unit

i wouldnt be able to say that he/she powercrept

cuz the dmg comes out way slower

theres no "hit the boss for 30 mins straight"

it has a fixed hp bar

it reaches 0 u win

if an older unit takes it to 0 faster, then to me, to my logic, that unit has not been powercrept

[hidden seal]

if u wanna see who clears faster then they should do it against dU lv 8 or 10 boss

since they have the highest hp pools

[green pulsar]

DU?

cant even do that

[hidden seal]

divergent universe

[green pulsar]

thats a shit mode

cant compare shit there

[hidden seal]

hows it shit compared to MOC

[green pulsar]

cuz ur buffs are random

[hidden seal]

the moc turblence buff is random

[green pulsar]

DU in all its entirety is random

its completely different

[hidden seal]

ok they can do the run with ruan mei card

where they get every buff

so its not random

[green pulsar]

u get every buff from one path

not all

for example, if u dont run erudition, if im lucky to get the 100% energy on start and upon kill + one ult usage for free

ill have a much faster clear time

in any case, SU/DU cannot be used to compare shit

its RNG in itself

my current saved run, my JL deals 10m dmg per ult/skill

lol

[hidden seal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9BU6sT__j8 ight in this video e6 welt clears faster than e6 yunli

do u think e6 welt is better than e6 yunli?

[ivory lynx]

[hidden seal]

actually nvm that yunli clear was him clearing it twice

[green pulsar]

[hidden seal]

ight e6 welt clear faster than e6 boothill

do u think e6 welt is better than e6 boothill

[green pulsar]

lol

did u see that team used

i see no fugue for example

that alone would have cut his time in half

[hidden seal]

during that patch

do u think e6 welt is better than e6 boothill

based on ur crtieria

on clear speed

[green pulsar]

if welt clears faster than e6 boothill sure

[hidden seal]

based on what u said on the e6 acheron video

that means welt is better in ur opinon

which no one would agree with

[green pulsar]

vs 2 enemies

yea

[hidden seal]

why does that matter

that boss was good for acheron

[green pulsar]

ok so herta being erudition

that deals insane dmg

is not good vs 5 enemies?

i see

[hidden seal]

both is 0 cycle

thats my criteria

urs is clear speed

so u think welt is better than boothill no?

[green pulsar]

the core gameplay would focus on simply clearing 3*
meaning cycles unless u cant meet the criteria to 3* dont matter

if you then 0 cycle
the next milestone to compare would be cost
as in how many expensive units/lcs or eidolons does a team need to be to be better than someone elses

if both are met, and are the same
0 cycle
same cost

what else is there to compare with?
clear time!

thats what im saying

and nothing else

i personally, couldnt care less
cuz u can 0 cycle with a fucking 4* dps

[hidden seal]

herta can clear with 3 cost i said that before

[green pulsar]

who even needs fucking 5*s let alone talk about powercreep if a 4 star dps can zero cycle

[hidden seal]

then u said i hate costs

[green pulsar]

cost is only for CCs

you would not cuck ur own team

to meet a certain cost threshold

for what?

u use what u got

[hidden seal]

so what if a new player joins

they will look at a tier list

which dps will let them clear better with low cost

cause they have nothing

[green pulsar]

who cares, new players pull what they can, their luck differs, they might not even build older units cuz they are so focused going after new units that they have no resources to build older units

wdym

[ivory lynx]

In the end isn't it just the best supports that make the dps OP like yea acheron and herta are strong but it's also with so and so characters in the end. So it's all personal preference at that point

[hidden seal]

lmao pretty sure herta clears with 4 stars

[green pulsar]

i cant even build all old 4*

and i dont even pull all new units

[hidden seal]

its not u can't its that u don't need or want to

[green pulsar]

its Honkai Harmony Rail anyways

[green pulsar]

oh i do trust

sometimes id love to use serval

cuz some guy on another discord comes up with "you have acheron E6, your opinion doesnt matter"

[ivory lynx]

Good harmony means peace and peace is when I nuke the enemy

[green pulsar]

and im like, i dont need her, i can beat shit with 4*s

cuz i focus pulling harmonie units

and they make 4* godlike

[ivory lynx]

Yea I mean in the end it's supports thats making the best units

[green pulsar]

exactly

[ivory lynx]

I just use acheron cause I have all her supports and I love her character lore wise and design wise

[hidden seal]

either way u said the herta doesn't power creep acheron

thats crazy talk

[green pulsar]

in any case, all i personally said is i value clear time more than other shit, IF 0 cycle is met

cost is nothing i care about

as it does not affect me in the least bit

funny part is even if i bring 4*s, ppl will complain "gear luck bla bla"

some ppl always find excuses to why they are performing poorly

[novel mauve]

holy yappening

as long as i get my jades from clearing shit im happy

[green pulsar]

^ that

3* clear is all thats important

https://tenor.com/view/yapping-yapping-level-today-catastrophic-yapanese-gif-13513208407930173397

mother..... f.....

...............

why not himeko or bronya

fuck man

[hidden seal]

im saving my normal pass i think they eventually gunna throw the 1.x/2.x into standard banners

whos gunna pull for them when 6.x comes

[green pulsar]

that was fugue banner xd

wanted E1

[hidden seal]

thought u saving for castrorice

Just in time for those limited time rewards

[hidden seal]

Boss animation powercreep

[novel mauve]

[hidden seal]

He got life steal. Break comp delay leggo

[green pulsar]

finally some good mechanics

more bosses should have leach

man mydei seems so fun to play

[hidden seal]

His animations mid af

[green pulsar]

Mydei?

lol

its realy good

i like them so much that it makes me wanna pull him

i also have a set for him (except planar)

just need some more crit rate and like 3-4 more speed

he can reach 69% crit rate without anything
sunday provides 20% so 89% leaving him with 11% from subs

if u use him with sunday + sparkle (LC) thats 1% left to gain from subs

[green pulsar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaHXofu9GHI

whoever cries about powercreep has skill issues

[karmic sparrow]

in most cases. no

Mr pokke was in the wrong for what he said.

[green pulsar]

what exactly did he say?

but i stand by my point, powercreep aint no issue

u can still clear with free units, heck even 4*s

just relic diff and thoughtless pulling (no proper team building)

[karmic sparrow]

He made a bad faith argument on Twitter and everyone jumped him for it.

And even his closes boys who are HSR CCs didnt agree with him.

[green pulsar]

oh lol

[karmic sparrow]

I think he said it wrong. Imho if a player has done everything right on their account. Clearing shouldnt be a problem. Its more so a problem how the only 'major' update to MOC is mobs having more HPs.

[green pulsar]

i mean, hes right about the first part

ill be honest tho

i feel no difference with the inflated hp

[north shuttle]

power creep is usually inevitable

[karmic sparrow]

Gacha Smack made a video about Pokke's comments and showing how they were wrong about their takes in the past.

'Quantam will be the next meta comp'

🦗 🦗 ?!

[green pulsar]

i still clear just as fast

as before

on auto even

1-2 cycles on auto

didnt change since forever

[green pulsar]

mono will never be meta

[north shuttle]

I unga bunga'd this moc also

but I didn't particularly like it

[green pulsar]

so whenever ppl say "hp inflation cri cri cri" im like shut up

[north shuttle]

because my fugue was still in the oven

[green pulsar]

and no i dont need to use my 2 E6 units to clear content

i can use my E0S1 too

or even E0S0

[north shuttle]

acheron swung her sword and then ff did firefly things

[karmic sparrow]

IMHO Pokke should have said. Some HSR refuse to update their relics or learn about the basics of making a comp

[green pulsar]

true

also most ppl focus on units in general

not team building

so u get what u reap

[north shuttle]

me when the team building game makes me make a team

[green pulsar]

scuffed team aint be performing well

[north shuttle]

yea this one is a big one, can't do end game if relics are doodoo

or when a comp is an unoptimized heap of shit

[karmic sparrow]

if you cant beat story bosses then its a skill issue at that point. It took me a good minute to start improving and clearing MOC 12. I cant remember when it started.

but relic is RNG so its hard to control what you get

[north shuttle]

just sacrifice a chicken or something before rolling

jk

[karmic sparrow]

i think the problem is more so luck has been shit for people in substats. the lack of diverse options makes it more annoying.

[green pulsar]

hey u dont need perfect sub rolls

most of my gear has 2 rolls into either

[karmic sparrow]

so like a good example is. FF's bis relic. Imagine getting all crit dmg and ehr with no units to use it? lmao

[green pulsar]

its usable as long as u reach certain milestones (stats)

[north shuttle]

im happy if my double crit relic rolls twice into either

[karmic sparrow]

now we got people using it now. because new untis pop up.

[north shuttle]

sometimes the game demands the full breakeffect rolls on pieces that don't need it and vice versa

[green pulsar]

she works, she deals dmg

[north shuttle]

lost like 3 pieces to it

[green pulsar]

enuf

[karmic sparrow]

also i do agree with hsr needs to start giving us more pulls. 10-20 pulls isnt enough.

if they are dropping 8 banners

[green pulsar]

they need to drop more general pool pulls

i dont get it why those are so rare

most units from there are shit

theres no harm in giving us more

[north shuttle]

mines still a bit scruffed

link rope is still poo

[green pulsar]

i prefer 100% crit rate on Fei

[north shuttle]

also, kyu, what site is that?

[green pulsar]

[elder vigil]

They getting their ass beat

[hidden seal]

sustainless doesn't really prove anything since u have to retry a million times so ur team doesn't die

[green pulsar]

ok so he did 0 cycle sustainless, now he changes a buffer out and places a healer in there
so its not a 0 cycle anymore but maybe 3 cycle, what changes? u can still clear.

[ivory lynx]

Oh wait I got a meme for this happening again

https://tenor.com/view/ah-shit-here-we-go-again-ah-shit-cj-gta-gta-san-andreas-gif-13933485

[green pulsar]

no its simple

there is no powercreep, if u can still 3* clear easily
a new unit is not a must have or fail to clear content, period 😄

[ivory lynx]

I mean regardless a debate will happen

So I got my memes ready

[green pulsar]

look, as long as as 4* dps or 5* dps can clear current shit with 3*, the need of a stronger unit is simply cuz of "i want, i need, GIB ME" and nothing else

so ppl crying about powercreep or HP inflation are just.....

[ivory lynx]

It's all about supports

[green pulsar]

im sorry but its the truth

[ivory lynx]

I mean the HP inflation is so that ppl aren't clearing as fast and have to manage better

Which most hate

Or don't kno how to do

Cause I'll be real

[green pulsar]

game has to be hard a lil bit

or it would be boring

[ivory lynx]

Most casual star rail players don't know how to play the game off auto

[green pulsar]

that was early 1.X patches

MoC was so easy that u could one shot bosses

lol

[ivory lynx]

SHIT MOST DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO BUILD A PROPER TEAM COMP STILL

[hidden seal]

if u can only do fast cycles with robin and sunday that's the definition of powercreep

not counting break teams

[ivory lynx]

I'm glad I have all the broken supports

Anyone is viable for my happiness

[green pulsar]

same

[ivory lynx]

[hidden seal]

shit i wanna pull robin cause her LC banner has DDD

but i got a feeling that pink hair chick might powercreep her kit

[green pulsar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVCaRdgm0WI

fuck that mydei dmg is big

[hidden seal]

i thought u hate the cost videos lol

[green pulsar]

i dont care about the cost

i watch for the gameplay lol

videos are scarce atm

so i take what i find, i do not explicitly search for cost videos lol

i think imma skip tribbie, thats the first time i skip a harmony

she barely fits anything atm lol

unless shes a must have for castorice

[ivory lynx]

What if tribbie is a must pull for castorice

[azure lance]

Is everyone skipping algae for castronice?

I'm 100% pulling on mydei

[ivory lynx]

3.0 and 3.1 big skips

Plus I don't pull for guys

Plus castorice with scythe

[languid lake]

[ivory lynx]

[azure lance]

I pull for all the guys

[ivory lynx]

[azure lance]

[green pulsar]

i never liked aglaea

her art is OK but the gameplay is eh

Mydei is just GIGA CHAD

and gameplay is fun

[ivory lynx]

She looked pretty

But then I saw castorice

[green pulsar]

[azure lance]

Hmm yeah

I only thought about pulling for algae because she is the first remembrance dps

But if I can skip it because castronice, then hell yeah

[sleek pulsar]

greek goddess lookalike hits me 100/10 man

[hidden seal]

lmao his kit is hella easy for hoyo to counter since you can't control him

[north shuttle]

Follow the "Literally my wife" pulling mantra

[green pulsar]

?

u talking about mydei?

[hidden seal]

ye

[green pulsar]

cuz i anwered to aglaea

"counter"

im also merely talking about what i personally like or dislike

aglaea is not fun to me

mydei is fun to me

[ivory lynx]

Character must be hot

And not man

Done

[green pulsar]

so no matter how op aglaea is, i wont pull regardless

[ivory lynx]

[azure lance]

Her mannequins do look kinda ass

[green pulsar]

i dont have FF too

dont like her

[ivory lynx]

Also all characters lore must be like acherons lore

So ppl better start slashing space and time

[sleek pulsar]

don't like her lore?

[green pulsar]

gameplay

i dont like her gameplay

😄

i do not pull for any char (outside harmony etc) whose gameplay i dislike

why would i do that 😄

i aint a meta slave

which is why i skipped FF and pulled rappa instead

like her drip and gameplay

tho i regret not getting boothill

hes fun too

[sleek pulsar]

fair enough

i liked FF and acheron lore so got them both to E2

[green pulsar]

i mean, no need look for a reason if u like something, you get it .D

when i saw acheron and her gameplay, it made me E6 her xD

same with JL

sad she fell off

still very usable tho

just hope that castorice is fun too cuz everything about her screams waifu to me

just need to see the gameplay of hers

[sleek pulsar]

haven't seen castorice info yet

aglaea just hits me with design

[green pulsar]

eidolon info is leaked

E2/E6

nothing more yet

[sleek pulsar]

well depends on how well they sell aglaea to me then

therta is a guaranteed must-get

[green pulsar]

i was gonna get her

but decided i dont need/want her

i have JL for ice

and regular herta for ice dmg in erudition

[karmic sparrow]

Does anyone here have Lingsha?

[green pulsar]

me

[sleek pulsar]

me

[sleek pulsar]

i just think it'll be pretty funny to have 2 hertas in the team

[green pulsar]

[sleek pulsar]

and it would be fun to build serval to have a cheap time and see how it goes

[karmic sparrow]

Hows your Lingsha built? @sleek pulsar

and her lc (f2p)

[green pulsar]

u can use that new 4* LC that gives speed

this

just need to compensate BE then

[sleek pulsar]

you really just need to have good speed and healing rate and you're pretty much set for her as a healer

BE is there for bonus break damage contribution

[green pulsar]

Mydei

[sleek pulsar]

Gonna wait for his kit

Though my chances of getting him is not high since he's not a healer/buffer

[green pulsar]

whose?

Mydei?

can replace Tribbie with HH

dont need her

I read about Mydei being HP based and can do more dmg than Feixiao

6/10 still

playing wuwa 2.0 before playing this yapfest made it worse

the difference is

the enemy is healing him with their attacks

basicly he cannot die

[hidden seal]

unless they add new infinite dot mechanic where u have to cleanse to get rid of it

[novel mauve]

mydei looks balanced

18k hp

[ivory lynx]

[green pulsar]

well thats E6

where he gains +100% hp in fight

[ivory lynx]

Yea e6 and max lc

[green pulsar]

but u can get 15k+ without E6 too

this guy is not using HP boots

[green pulsar]

i mean i get it

and they are doing the right thing

but everyone that wants to experience a once and done story on top of being voiced should just skip EN ingame and use JP

you using EN or JP does not matter to the devs

ur just destroying ur own experience by missing voiced lines

so i absolutely dont get ppl that still use EN voice

not like u can replay the story again later with voice nor will it added later on lol

[novel mauve]

yeah i changed to jp last patch

[austere solar]

Kinda tempted to try and get 5 rolls into flat HP

[elder vigil]

That would add alot of hp to ur unit

[green pulsar]

xD

[hidden seal]

lmao everyone on reddit shitting on 3.0 story

[green pulsar]

haha

well good thing i skip story

[ivory lynx]

Story talks alot but doesn't show if that makes sense. The world building is mainly through words so far. I like Greek mythology stuff but it's alot of ask ask ask and get told history and all this

Reminds me of wuwa when it first released

But like with wuwa release they talked and told us these specific words like we had already knew it instead of explaining things

Basically ppl dont like a whole lot of exposition shoved down there throat in such a short amount of time

[green pulsar]

[ivory lynx]

Gamba

[green pulsar]

well it worked for him 😄

[elder vigil]

Not bad relics

[green pulsar]

whats ur stats on her?

u realy want 100% or as close as u can get to it crit rate

since she gets free 80% crit dmg

so id suggest maybe getting a crit rate chest instead

[green pulsar]

https://hsr.hoyoverse.com/gift?code=IFYOUAREREADINGTHIS
60x Stellar Jade, 1x Fuel

[elder vigil]

@green pulsar 104% cr with buffs

[green pulsar]

oh shit

nvm then

whats ur team looking like?

[elder vigil]

Jade eos1 Sunday e2

[green pulsar]

why not use RMC? its her BiS support

also gives like 12% crit rate

[elder vigil]

Think my Sunday better xd

Cause e2

[green pulsar]

i mean up to you 😄
cuz RMC gives true dmg and also has AV push

[elder vigil]

I haven't built her too tho

I'll definitely try

Think e2 Sunday pretty broken too tho xd

[green pulsar]

oh nvm RMC gives crit dmg not crit rate

[elder vigil]

Like 30% more dmg i think

[green pulsar]

ah nvm its E1 that gives 10% crate 😄

[elder vigil]

I don't need the cr also xd

[green pulsar]

well if u ditch Sunday for RMC u will cuz u will be short by 10% for 100% 😄

Current best team for example for Therta would be
Therta / Jade or any other FUA unit / RMC / HH

i mean in the end play it how u like it

just wanted to point out u can enhance the gameplay and or dmg

[elder vigil]

Wait so what does rmc do that Sunday doesn't xd

Besides the true dmg xd

[green pulsar]

fairly similiar to what sunday does

just that true dmg is similiar to SB etc.

and its an extra dmg source that u cannot normaly get so it scales better

ur total dmg should be higher

[elder vigil]

Sunday forward and 60% dmg boost tho xd for e2

[green pulsar]

well i guess up to testing it is then

[sleek pulsar]

HH or Lingsha?

If you don't have SP problems it feels like Lingsha contributes alot of hits for Therta stacks and energy

[green pulsar]

HH cuz she gives energy and atk

both what she needs

[elder vigil]

Oh nice 16 def ignore and 60% dmg xd

[novel mauve]

yeah sunday at e2 is beefy

[elder vigil]

I didn't go for his e2 either got him 3x in 6 single pulls xd

I don't even have his lc

[sleek pulsar]

e2 gives 2 SP wtf

[green pulsar]

ya it makes him SP positive

[lusty gale]

94 179

[green pulsar]

looks nice

[elder vigil]

Ohhh that's looks nice too @lusty gale

[elder vigil]

Oh my not too bad xd

[green pulsar]

tbh dmg on that boss is absurdly inflated 😄

[north shuttle]

when the aoe does aoe

[runic portal]

nice dmg on herta

[green pulsar]

again thats not real dmg guys xD

the traits for this AS Boss is the following

• (All enemies)United Front: When weakness broken take +100% dmg
• (Boss only Trait): When weakness broken take +100% dmg

im pretty sure both stack = u deal tripple dmg on weakness broken boss

ok its double dmg and doesnt stack but still

[ivory lynx]

So it's just the dragon boss from station after core is broken

You just do massive damage for that part

[green pulsar]

kinda

[ivory lynx]

So my acheron gonna do big damage ez pz

[ivory lynx]

OH ITS THIS

Yea she nuked them

After break

[green pulsar]

5.4m dmg with TY

im just saying that theres no need to compare dmg in this mode

when u have gazillion buffs

and shes E1S1

hertas real dmg with her strongest nuke is around 500-700k ish

on normal stuff 😄

which is still on the upper end ofc

[ivory lynx]

I'm waiting for muh wife

Castorice

Going through story and spending time with her I was like yea

All about death and shit

[novel mauve]

herta is an easy skip if you have already comparable characters

[ivory lynx]

Like who

I have no euridation

Or however u spell that

I could probably get away with himeko and fugue

And baby herta

[green pulsar]

like my E6 JL who barely holds a cake

XD

but nah i dont need another ice erudition when i got smol herta

whos pretty stronk too

[ivory lynx]

Stonks

[elder vigil]

Mine does around 900k normally with Sunday buffs xd

I've hit 1.1mil tho highest xd

Eos1

[green pulsar]

E0S1 all?

or any eidolons

[elder vigil]

Eos1 the herta and jade eos1 then Sunday just e2

[green pulsar]

ah ok makes sense

id say with E0 sunday u would have a big dps drop

so 500-700k would be right 😄

[hidden seal]

btw u can whale for god tier relics now

[elder vigil]

I get god tier just doing dailies xd

[green pulsar]

u can whale for RNG u mean

[minor pilot]

I'm unsure if self model resin conversion is worth as f2p.

3 self model resin a month seems like too much

[green pulsar]

it depends on what u need

and let me tell u

i wasted 5 pieces last time and did not get anything usable

so in the end its all RNG

id rather reroll a god piece that rolled shitty

or some good piece that also rolled shitty

examples
this is a 4 liner with god stats

4 liner with 3 usable stats

4 liner with 2 usable stats

3 liner but with a hard to get main stat and 2 usable stats

but thats about where i draw the line for rerolling dice

i wouldnt ever reroll anything with an easy to get main stat and being a 3 liner

cuz then u can just gamba on using main stat selector + 1 sub stat selector or if truly needed 2 sub selector instead (although the cost is insanely high)

[minor pilot]

I'm not talking about reroll at all. You can craft the substat selector items, 3/month with resin, and 2/month with relic fragments. Relic fragments is a no brainer to me. Resin.. unsure. You need 4 items to select 2 sub stats. which is basically.. 5 Resin to select mainstate and 2 subs.

Obviouly great for chest/boots/planars.

[green pulsar]

i mean both are named resin, one is for main stat one for subs 😄

ill stick for to the 2 free ones a month for now

i wont craft the blue resins by using main stat resin

theres ppl that saved all main stat resins as they didnt believe in RNG lol
idk about that one but hey they should be sitting on like 60+ of these so more power to them and they might craft a few dice / sub resin

[minor pilot]

I've got 23 right now, but f2p, never bought the pass, never will (I assume there's at least 1 in premium pass)

[green pulsar]

there was 1 at lvl 40
now its at lvl 20 and the dice took its place at lvl 40

oh nvm now theres another one at lvl 50

though the one at lvl 20 is free

i dont remember if there was one for free before

[novel mauve]

new rotation is out, was easy enough

[elder vigil]

Indeed

[novel mauve]

people kept crying powercreep, but tbh i didnt feel it this rotation

unless they increase the hp very drasticaly, i doubt ill have problems

[north shuttle]

haven't given it a try yet so idk

[sleek pulsar]

break teams suffered abit with the immune bar

well, you'd have to manual it to get the same results

[novel mauve]

firefly still killed it decently fast

but mine is e6 so there isnt much difference there for me

but yeah that x3 break bar is pretty huge

feels like its better to just use nuke teams in those now

acheron did way better in my other team

they basically made this rotation to push people who will have a hard time in it pull for herta with the huge buff they are giving to erudition in it

60% atk is kinda insane compared to all the other buffs that were available

[hidden seal]

u can 0 cycle it with argenti

since one of the buff gives u advance foward if u break

he perma ultis

[novel mauve]

argenti e0?

tbh i dont have him, didn't like the character anyways

[hidden seal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN2p5JCFkHg no clue

she prob used windset on argenti

oh its e6

lmao

[novel mauve]

oh yeah probably some type of min max build just for that

i wont bother building a character for 1 thing

i just start it and auto

still got 7.6k

but my dps are all e6 so its fine for auto

i wanna build a follow up team

are there graphs to compare hp of this apocalyptic shadow vs older ones?

[elder vigil]

Didn't feel any different

Lol

[novel mauve]

yeah thats what i felt

buffs available were worse this time around for me, but not much difference

thats good anyway, dont wanna spend in 3.0

[elder vigil]

I auto too as a f2p xd

[novel mauve]

they didnt even reset the double topup

[elder vigil]

Got 7.1k

[novel mauve]

so wont spend for a while

[elder vigil]

[novel mauve]

yeah herta team can clear the first side easy

with the buff they giving that side

i dont feel like pulling for her, ill wait for a more game changing unit

she wont do better than my teams anyway unless i get her up to e4+

[elder vigil]

Nice

[ivory lynx]

Nerd

[elder vigil]

Finished the new story finally

Weird how it got so much hate lol

Was really good unless ur impatient for action lol

[novel mauve]

the content of the story was way better than what they did before, beside shorekeeper

people just like to dumpster on wuwa

[elder vigil]

This star rail xd

[novel mauve]

oh didnt see, getting mixed up with those sections

star rail story was fine, the way it was delivered was ass

id rather have the characters show more emotions and get more cinematics or pictures, than just have character lore dumping non stop and alternating with pose 1 -> pose 2 for 15 minutes

tbh i just hope hope there's a youtuber that does videos of all that lore, cuz im sure i missed some of it dozing off during those expositions

at this point just hire some youtubers who do a better job animating some random videos they doing

said example right here https://youtu.be/ZsI9SpWPLys

[elder vigil]

Ngl that video was terrible xd

[novel mauve]

it was done by just some dudes, but it had more animations than 3.0 combined

[elder vigil]

Not any good animations tho xd

1 moment of good animation better than 30 min of crap xd

[novel mauve]

lacked polish, but it was pretty good for fan made, you couldnt even reach 10% of what they did there

[elder vigil]

In my opinion tho xd

Looks like they copy paste the gamea models and put it on crappy backgrounds xd

[novel mauve]

background doesnt matter in those shorts

they're not billion dollar company

id give em the money hoyo has and they could make shit better than what we got in that major update tbh

[elder vigil]

Star is a turn base too xd

Or close to one so things would be different i feel too from a game like wuwa

[novel mauve]

im talking about dialogue

not combat

[elder vigil]

Star rail def have thier own style when it comes to that ig lol

[novel mauve]

camera angles / facial expresions / dynamic poses / movements

[elder vigil]

Ig that's all to a person's opinion tho so hard to argue that xd

[novel mauve]

im sure someone has a counter for how many time characters did idle pose 1, put hand on chest for 3.0

[elder vigil]

Personally I just enjoyed what they gave

[novel mauve]

the content was never my problem with 3.0

it was great

[elder vigil]

Only thing I didn't like was not all English voices weren't there

[novel mauve]

the delivery was bad

yeah did jp voices

[elder vigil]

I don't like the jp voices xd

For me I'll only watch jp anime but games I want English

[novel mauve]

kinda sucks that their main character VA are still on strike

makes the game way less enjoyable in english

[elder vigil]

Yeah feel that made more people mad than anything else

[novel mauve]

tbh i didnt wanna bother after i saw Dan coming with us

[novel mauve]

i couldve done march, but having a mute with us the whole update nan

[elder vigil]

Like I like these more than cutscenes somtimes xd

[novel mauve]

tbh i wouldve liked it more if they did like ZZZ

manga style

[elder vigil]

Zzz animation overload xd

[novel mauve]

than just watching 2 NPC standing and talking

[elder vigil]

Their trailers for new characters better than the game itself

[novel mauve]

most cutscenes in 3.0 were to introduce new characters

hey look thats a new character

[elder vigil]

I don't think star rail was ever really that big in cutscenes xd

[novel mauve]

2.2 cutscenes were very good

with sunday

but since that time, i havent seen anything on par with that

and 2.2 wasnt even a major update like 3.0

[elder vigil]

Last one I remember was for acheron

Lol

[novel mauve]

yeah, rarely get those

now they just feel more greedy on banners and content quality is going down

not gonna spend until i see smt that makes me go Wow in the story for next couple patches

[elder vigil]

That's fair enough

[ivory lynx]

@green pulsar I got jebaited

I saw from a vid from a leaker that I follow saying castorice gameplay

It was just seele with a castorice skin

I will now declare war on the world
