Or another A rank

[past ibex]

i guess i'll just cope with grace's sig for now

and get on a rerun

i was kinda deciding between her or evelyn

need to see evelyn's multipliers first

[hazy seal]

I'll pull everyone and get everything

Trust

[past ibex]

my gacha confidence has been broken by this game

[hazy seal]

Have faith

Gonna day 1 her discs

And not able to own her

[past ibex]

all three of my gacha games have had average to bad luck

last time i got a limited character early was probably shorekeeper

[hazy seal]

Mine was either Feixiao or Camellya

[past ibex]

I'm so glad wuwa has guaranteed weapon

Waiting on you hoyo

[hazy seal]

TGA 2025 maybe

[viscid elm]

From a business standpoint, why would they fix something that isn't broken?

[past ibex]

I mean obviously it's easy to say fuck the players and cater to the whales cause they fund it

Still doesn't change that it's a shitty system

Like why should pharmaceutical companies give people free healthcare when it doesn't benefit them

https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail_leaks/s/MteBFQyG2P

Big herta buffs

She stacks faster with eruditon characters now, and her damage at max stacks are super buffed

Also buffed her performance in non pf

Zhongli in top10 🤨

[shrewd orbit]

eh

116k sample for a playerbase like genshin ain't much

casuals who only pull who they like aren't gonna submit that data

[buoyant grotto]

Well it should work against zhongli, wouldn't it?

[shrewd orbit]

the universal shred cheat code? nah

i'm more surprised by the discrepancy in standard units

though i guess people pulled tighnari back when he was the only good dendro unit

[buoyant grotto]

Also selector

A lot ppl picked tighnari

And rightfully so bc he's the best standard banner character

[shrewd orbit]

yea

i forgot i got his c2 while chasing chasca cons

[buoyant grotto]

I'm hoping that if I'll lose 50/50s it would be him or dehya cons

[shrewd orbit]

i'm just after 1 more qiqi con

until 5.4, apparently the new inazuma 5* is going to standard

[buoyant grotto]

nice cdmg ig

lc is lvl 70 so he will be little more tanky

[flat galleon]

Damn stacked

[buoyant grotto]

i watched 3 videos about fugue

im pulling fugue

[past ibex]

She changes everything

[long tapir]

i want her to be a bootleg jiaoqu for acheron

[buoyant grotto]

i want her for xueyi

[past ibex]

She can be both

Gonna use her for himeko too in pf

[buoyant grotto]

shes so versatile

i didnt realize it

i thought shes just slightly better hmc

[lavish coral]

need fugue for boothill...

so this mf wont be useless as much

[past ibex]

This is the average cope whenever people don't want to pull 5 stars

(I'm guilty of it too)

Me saying lingsha was just gallagher sidegrade but she's an erudition character that can heal

[past ibex]

Yeah she's insane for rappa and boothill more than firefly

[buoyant grotto]

i mean when u look at stats firefly teams with lingsha clear barely faster than with galla

[past ibex]

The fact that you can run her as

Main dps

Is enough words for me

[buoyant grotto]

iirc in some matchups shes even better than firefly

[past ibex]

Yup

It's filthy

Like for 5 targets

She's erudition

[buoyant grotto]

i wanted to say if he isnt really good in moc generally but i saw this

[past ibex]

I mean he is good, just situationally

This moc was the TV dude and svarog

Not much usage there

[buoyant grotto]

thats why dot is only archetype with increase here

0,05 cycle but increase

[past ibex]

Dot is basically if you don't have erudition

[buoyant grotto]

i dont even remember what i used in moc

probably dot and acheron

[past ibex]

Sounds about right

[buoyant grotto]

yeah

[past ibex]

I think I can deal with not getting jade

The herta isn't exactly her best pairing

https://youtu.be/0L5OPAXL9bY?si=7c38xTwo3qaGvDiB oh wow this is an impressive run

No ice weakness, e0s0 herta, albeit e1 Robin which is broken

But the new buffs really helped her damage against under 5 units

For the people who were struggling with pf

I kinda feel like they're making it a bit too easy

[buoyant grotto]

apoc nerfs when

jk i like challenge even if it means i cant max clear it like rn

[past ibex]

Apoc was really fun this time around

Saw a video discussing hp inflation

And they did make a good point

[buoyant grotto]

cocolia
fun

[past ibex]

That characters are just

Getting too strong

[buoyant grotto]

u watched og vid or pokke reaction?

[past ibex]

So I do hope instead of just inflating hp they make more puzzles like with the TV dinosaur

[past ibex]

Pokke

[past ibex]

The 2nd half

[buoyant grotto]

so we watched the same thing

[past ibex]

Cocolia was easy for me

[buoyant grotto]

i agree too

[past ibex]

Like just introduce more challenging mechanics instead of just making them tanky

Cause at that point rather than just a damage check you have to actually think

[buoyant grotto]

op support in genshin: res down, dmg% up + heal/grouping
hsr op support: dmg% increase, cr increase, cdmg increase, 100% turn advance, sp neutrality, energy regen

oh, forgot cleanse

important too

[past ibex]

Yeah but his point is a very good one

Star rail Base gameplay is a lot simpler

So you need more things in the base kit

[buoyant grotto]

hsr forced it with elements being kinda meaningless

[past ibex]

I don't think there was a really much you could do with elements from the beginning

It's just a bar that's meant to be broken

Although yeah there are characters that just ignore it

But I doubt that's gonna apply to future characters

[buoyant grotto]

i know ppl see me as firefly hater but im not one
but giving her weakness implant was a mistake

[past ibex]

Yeah fair enough

Rather I think it's just too easy for her to weakness implant

I think the weakness implant itself is fine

It's just like with acheron it's tied to her ult only

Which you don't get often

[buoyant grotto]

imo weakness implant should be either tied to only supports or single target dps

bc aoe weakness implant on dps
is kinda fucking op

[past ibex]

It's only single target weakness implant

What is aoe is reducing their weakness bar

But doesn't implant weakness on the targets on the side

[buoyant grotto]

[past ibex]

Their weakness bar gets reduced

But does not get fire weakness

Oh u mean the technique

I'm talking about the skill

[buoyant grotto]

ye

[past ibex]

Oh well I think her and acheron are in that same tier of broken anyways

Just what hoyo does

For the fan favs

[buoyant grotto]

acheron so broken that even with only 1 5* unit that is made for her archetype she still stands strong in top3 dps in the game even at e0

[past ibex]

And she's a lot more flexible than firefly

[hazy seal]

Hi its me, the premium super break team haver soon

[past ibex]

Unless

[hazy seal]

Just missing Lingsha lc

[buoyant grotto]

superbreak acheron with fugue trust

[past ibex]

I aspire to have your luck

[buoyant grotto]

aka no luck

[past ibex]

Not yours

[hazy seal]

But first, Miyabi

[buoyant grotto]

yeah xera luck op af

[hazy seal]

Nah bruv

I lost to Aven

[past ibex]

Bro you have like 5+ premium lcs

I only have like

Two

3 actually now

[hazy seal]

I am welkin

[buoyant grotto]

i lost to rm twice and aven and all loses were to welt

[buoyant grotto]

i think i have 4
but 2 were early

[past ibex]

One day the law of averages will help me out

[hazy seal]

My monke brain wants e0s1 for the completion

[past ibex]

I'm waiting for my time

I want s1 but I'm broke everytime

[buoyant grotto]

seele, blade, black swan, acheron, sunday
5 actually

[hazy seal]

Super broke

[past ibex]

Monka

[buoyant grotto]

black swan and sunday were 8 and 21 pity tho

sunday one was guaranteed bc i lost on jq lc to yanqing one rip

[hazy seal]

Feixiao is pretty early for me

So is Lingsha i think

[buoyant grotto]

luck went on wrong banner

[past ibex]

Feixiao banner still gives me ptsd

My fua team is peak now but it cost everything

Do I just cope with grace sig for miyabi until a rerun 💀

[buoyant grotto]

i will have ptsd on every rm rerun

i wonder if ill get welted 3rd time

[past ibex]

No Ruan mei until now is tragic beyond words

I might get tribbie

Another aoe buffer

This changes everything

[buoyant grotto]

[past ibex]

[hazy seal]

Yeah u right

[past ibex]

I still uh need to finish farming traces for fugue

[hazy seal]

Man... I farmed traces before I check the event tab

So I spent my tokens ytd and tb lmao

[past ibex]

Rip

I always do my DU at the end of the week cause I'm lazy

[hazy seal]

I do mine at the start

[buoyant grotto]

FOUR on TL62 acc?

[past ibex]

Friend got two miyabis in one 10 pull

His luck is just insane

[long tapir]

😭

[hazy seal]

I think I've got an idea on how to play her idk

[past ibex]

I'll try for her and get wengine on a rerun

Hope it goes better I don't think I even have enough yet

[hazy seal]

Cleared Shiyu with her lul

Did she carry? Idk man

[past ibex]

Did u get her sig?

[hazy seal]

Nope

[past ibex]

Does it still feel good

[hazy seal]

I haven't got enuf to even start a multi yet

[past ibex]

Cause there is a big dropoff from without sig but her multipliers are so high

[hazy seal]

I also don't know, I just pressed button and enemies die

[past ibex]

I don't think it even matters

At least for now

[hazy seal]

Is it Yanagi or Rina or Miyabi idk

Enemies died

[past ibex]

Big

[hazy seal]

I barely register the numbers on screen

[past ibex]

Friend said the story was great I can't wait

[hazy seal]

Her charge attack locks her animations much like Encore lmao

So I just swap right after it activates

[long tapir]

if there isnt iframes it sucks 😭 otherwise not too bad ig

[hazy seal]

Boom Yanagi time

I see like 2 disorder proc in one skill from Yanagi

Technically, I pretty much have 80% of the stats from the discs and running her 2nd best engine which is grace's

[viscid elm]

https://www.twitch.tv/koitao_/clip/CalmAstutePoultryKAPOW-pu9Vac0VQa7egntQ

Ain't no way I just stream lucked Miyabi in 10 pulls after losing 50/50

[past ibex]

Wtf

[shrewd orbit]

I know I said I was skipping miyabi for evelyn

But she's broken wtf

So I spent everything after losing 50/50

[past ibex]

Everyone's multipliers are like in the hundreds

Hers are in the thousands

[shrewd orbit]

Her and nagi together is absurd

[hazy seal]

She does normal damage like a dps would, and then does anomaly damage on top of that, and then disorder

Its so dumb

[shrewd orbit]

[buoyant grotto]

i cooked with jq build

[past ibex]

wtf

i've never seen this before

the poster child

lol ok one 10 pull

[shrewd orbit]

another 10 pull in the mail wow

starting to think getting evelyn is totally possible

[past ibex]

Definitely possible if you're skipping astra yao, if you're pulling both then you'll need some luck

[shrewd orbit]

hopefully they continue using the new banner system

could grab evelyn then try for astra

[long tapir]

they run the whole patch right?

[shrewd orbit]

but i'd only be getting her for zhu yuan teams and she's kinda falling off regardless

[long tapir]

shes still only ether dps

so she has that at least

but tbh anomoly is the trend now

not even a 2.x patch and they introduced a new element 😭

[shrewd orbit]

miyabi is like anomaly+attack

[long tapir]

true

[shrewd orbit]

even against ice resistance she's busted

[long tapir]

lines are getting blurry between roles at least for supps

like support and def units could be interchanged depending on what you look at

[shrewd orbit]

yea caesar is like both

[long tapir]

mhm

astra is looking to be similar, but more supp oriented

sure theres a small heal but thats about it

i think at least

[shrewd orbit]

heals and atk buffs and dmg buffs i think

[long tapir]

Yeah both sustain and buffs, but more buffs so she's classified as supp

[shrewd orbit]

kinda odd that they've made her before an ether anomaly tho

she's treading on nicole's toes a bit

we need more consistent corruption for zhu yuan

wait that extra 10 pull in the mail was for fixing the transparency censorship in the overworld

[long tapir]

So is there still transparency?

Idk if the fix was removing it or putting it back in 😭

[shrewd orbit]

it went from no transparency to completely invisible

now it's see-through but still visible

[long tapir]

Better than completely transparent

[viscid elm]

Thank god, I was about to drop the game because of it /j

[long tapir]

Literally unplayable

Miyabi (and Haramusa) banner reportedly combined for ¥338M ($2.2M) in 1 day

Pictured: Harumasa (left), and Miyabi (right)

[shrewd orbit]

harumasa is pretty fun

but putting him up with miyabi was just cruel

bro didn't stand a chance

[long tapir]

Given how his ground arrows can be triggered by perfect assist, he feels like a quickswap char

[past ibex]

That's why they made him free

[buoyant grotto]

do i download zzz to see if i get miyabi in free pulls and uninstall if i wont?

[past ibex]

I mean if you don't want to play the game I don't see a reason to

[hazy seal]

Shiyu? Or?

[past ibex]

shiyu

she's not dead just yet

[viscid elm]

https://fxtwitter.com/koitao_/status/1870456012953813209

I tried

[graceful needle]

Cute

[hazy seal]

Yeah I used her on that boss too, it works

[past ibex]

probably has to do with my soukaku and lycaon builds being funky but oh well

it still was

a lot harder than i expected it to be

[shrewd orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/guy-slamming-card-on-table-gif-21126320

[patent echo]

playing zzz for first time

this feels so fluid

[past ibex]

yeah

gameplay and expression wise the characters feel alive

[patent echo]

yeah for sure

also gives me persona nostalgia

very happy so far, excited to meet more characters

[past ibex]

oh for sure that was the first comparison I thought of

overall vibes

you chose the perfect time to start playing

[patent echo]

yeah?

[past ibex]

1.4 was a soft relaunch and there were a lot of great changes

https://tenor.com/view/hoshimi-miyabi-miyabi-zzz-miyabi-zenless-zone-zero-zzz-gif-1503314896040160303

also her banner is running rn

basically the acheron of zzz

[patent echo]

ohhhh sick

am I gonna have time to get enough for her banner?

[dreamy trout]

💳

[past ibex]

she's running for the entirety of 1.4 which just started like this week

also you have a lot of stuff to catch up on

so more than enough

[patent echo]

ahhh okok nice

will do my best

acheron in my top 2 from hsr

although I stopped playing

[patent echo]

is it the same format of a standard banner and then limited ones?

my gf started playing infinity nikki btw she loves it hahaha

[dreamy trout]

Infinity nikki is a lot of fun

[graceful needle]

i wonder if i should start playing

[viscid elm]

You have a whole month tbh

[graceful needle]

infinity nikki

[past ibex]

yes

[opal drum]

Infinity nikki looks pretty interesting

[brazen hearth]

First roll 😭 idk if it’s the same with everyone

[past ibex]

yeah i got it in my first 10 too lol

the bangboo banner is so rigged

meanwhile i can't win a 5050 to save my life

[brazen hearth]

Lmao

[buoyant grotto]

Farming traces is the worst thing in hsr
I felt like I did nothing for 3 days farming sunday traces

[past ibex]

What does that mean

Is it any different from farming relics

I just afk for 5 minutes and let the game play

[buoyant grotto]

Well, very
At least for me

Just not same dopamine of getting good drop ig

[past ibex]

4 purples

Problem is good relics rarely come by

After awhile it feels like you're farming for nothing

[hazy seal]

I have been farming for the past 2 weeks for Fugue

[long tapir]

At least you're guaranteed a stat boost instead of trashing 200+ relics

[past ibex]

still no ehr body i'm actually gonna cry

might just craft it atp

as great as miyabi is I think yanagi still might have the most fun kit in the game

[hazy seal]

Ehr break spd

[viscid elm]

Will always be my #1

[brazen hearth]

Not bad,good for people that just joined or missed out on the old banners

[dreamy trout]

mommy? sorry. Mommy? sorry.

[flat galleon]

Good enough for now. Still need to farm planars for sunday

[buoyant grotto]

"good enough"

and u say i have high standards

[past ibex]

gonna ban image perms one day

[flat galleon]

The farming never stops until I hit at least 4 useful sub stat rolls

I guess effect res is useful

[past ibex]

new pure fiction is a lot easier and more fun to play

[past ibex]

I love that they're playing into her height meme

[hazy seal]

Its fun, I was being stupid and still got close

[past ibex]

herta himeko and dotcheron has literally been carrying me since the inception of this game mode lol

[hazy seal]

Fugue will clear

[viscid elm]

https://tenor.com/view/girls-frontline-2-elmo-squad-groza-nemesis-krolik-gif-17382861162046711205

Been loving this game so far

[past ibex]

30 pity in still no miyabi

[viscid elm]

I have 20 pulls left till hard pity on Miyabi's weapon banner

[buoyant grotto]

easiest pf in a while

[viscid elm]

Are you getting her weapon too?

[past ibex]

Can't afford, lost my 5050 so I gotta save for astra yao after getting my guaranteed miyabi

Sucks but oh well

I'm not willing to whale again just yet

Gotta wait for rerun

[long tapir]

guys i got sunday 😔 caved for future investment of rememberance units

[past ibex]

welcome to the church of sunday

[long tapir]

at least i dont have to build his relics and weapon

i can transfer all the over from bronya

or sparkle depending on needs

[past ibex]

I won't be using my sunday until like 3.2 when castorice drops lmao

[long tapir]

same

[past ibex]

pulling fugue and herta

[long tapir]

heard hes good with acheron tho

[past ibex]

skipping aglaea

yeah

but my acheron is e0s0 and not speed tuned

so back to my bench she goes

feixiao is just my go to dps

I was already thinking of getting castorice's sig lc but it might be more of a must pull now

considering alternatives are not great

there's the moc 4* one but that's more for RMC

[long tapir]

hmm i see

[past ibex]

so you're only left with the 3* ones that are actually f2p

unless you pull from gacha or the battle pass

[long tapir]

yeah theres not many rememberance lc's

might have to be must pulls til they add a good 4*

its all crit based in the end anyways

[hazy seal]

Dot is my go to

[past ibex]

https://hsr18.hakush.in/lightcone/21052/ oh wait did they change this?

https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail_leaks/comments/1h52ft7/4_lc_remembrance_by_dim/ the original one that was posted

[long tapir]

as long as they dont change the art idc

damn no stamina for leveling sunday

[past ibex]

cause the one on hakushin looks good for normal dps'

[long tapir]

😔

no traces either

[past ibex]

no fuel?

[hazy seal]

https://tenor.com/view/fugue-hsr-honkai-star-rail-honkai-star-gif-11693649139288866905

Stay strong

[past ibex]

2 more days

[long tapir]

nah

[past ibex]

I've done so much losing in zzz if I lose fugue imma lose it

[long tapir]

but he can reach eff res breakpoint for that one planar set

since i dont have good ocean planar set yet

[hazy seal]

I'll get Fugue

[past ibex]

waiting until 3.0 so I can reroll some relics

[hazy seal]

Oh that's 3.0?

I tot it's this patch seeing how it was announced in the livestream om

[long tapir]

theres 100% gonna be a new set in 3.0 and itll be castorice focused

and something else i forgot what theleaks said

[past ibex]

yeah

[past ibex]

also yeah

been so long since we've gotten a quantum dps

just realized

I guess jade

but like non pf

[hazy seal]

Slow QQ

Fugue is pretty much built on my end

Relics and traces

[past ibex]

probably gonna have trace mats in the new event so I won't farm too much

need to craft some relics

I'm not getting anything from the mines

[hazy seal]

New event huh

I've given up on calc those

Might be missing like 20 purple

*30

[past ibex]

yeah as long as you can get your talent maxed the rest should be alright

[hazy seal]

Back to the relics I go

[buoyant grotto]

Jesus is good investment

All mcs deserve same treatment

[past ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/miyabi-hoshimi-short-ears-zzz-gif-18018041246104386794

[hazy seal]

Got her engine

Now to build pity ehe

[past ibex]

meanwhile I'm still trying to get her...

this world was not built fairly

[long tapir]

shes all ears

[buoyant grotto]

returnee luck ig?

[past ibex]

[long tapir]

gg

[buoyant grotto]

i mean she was guaranteed

bc i quit bc i lost on ellen banner

but she was early

like 40s?

she still good or fell off?

[past ibex]

she's good for ellen

only problem is field time is a bit long for a support

she'll get powercrept soon enough

[long tapir]

yeah astra yao will prob powercreep all the supp units that arent part of a hyper specific archetype

https://tenor.com/view/astra-yao-zenless-zone-zero-ultimate-animation-gacha-game-new-eridu-gif-4322678166800264865

[past ibex]

there's a 5* ice support down the line

from the idol faction

[long tapir]

she cant powercreep the nicole skin tho 😩

[long tapir]

ooh really?

might be new bis for miyabi ice

[past ibex]

yeah it was leaked awhile ago

[buoyant grotto]

ig im cooked anyway

[past ibex]

oh you have rina

that's perfectly fine

grace is budget yanagi

[buoyant grotto]

e1/c1 however its called in this game

[past ibex]

even better

that's pretty important

m1

your units are actually pretty good lol

[hazy seal]

Soukaku is fine especially with the new ult changes

[past ibex]

i mean yea she's still solid especially if you have m6

just better options out there

[flat galleon]

for any fugue pullers, what team are you playing her on? replacing HMC on firefly team?

[past ibex]

yeah

probably gonna use her in pf too with himeko

you can use her with acheron too if you wanna have fun

[buoyant grotto]

me planning to use fugue with xueyi:

[past ibex]

only sad thing about using fugue over hmc is no more ddd hmc shenanigans 😔

[flat galleon]

I mean you do you with xueyi

I never had ddd - HMC just been running memories of the past

my ddd is like s1

[buoyant grotto]

[hazy seal]

I think Soukaku is still the only sp for mono ice

[flat galleon]

I really want her but looks like she's only usable so far as replacement for HMC

[hazy seal]

Rina is only if you play Pen

[past ibex]

oh yeah for ellen it's definitely soukaku

[buoyant grotto]

my motp is s1 and ddd s2
my 4* harmony lcs are cooked
tho i have sunday and bronya sigs

[hazy seal]

Caesar is 1k atk plus shield ez

With some stun capabilities

[buoyant grotto]

so miyabi, rina and who?

[past ibex]

grace

[hazy seal]

Well...

[buoyant grotto]

2 week trial tho

[past ibex]

oh

that's a trial oops

uhhh

probably just run harumasa LOL

at least they have the section 6 buff

and two electric

should be alright

miyabi is broken

she can run with anyone

[buoyant grotto]

i heard that free dude sucks ass

[past ibex]

nah

just people doomposting

he's like ellen level of dps

obviously not miyabi

but still very good

like ratio

still a very good dps, just that there's a broken dps out there

[buoyant grotto]

which one for miyabi team?

[hazy seal]

Actually nope

Apparently, his dmg is based on user execution

[buoyant grotto]

so zzz calcharo

[hazy seal]

I've seen people praising him after learning how to play

[past ibex]

what

[hazy seal]

Finally, the combo based char people wanted

[past ibex]

i mean yeah if you learn how to play him

but he is ellen levels of strength

in that same tier

[hazy seal]

Dogwater execution barely reaches Ellen level

But he has a high ceiling

Bro is literally sick just like his lore

[past ibex]

i'm not gonna be making that comparison, i'm just assuming that you're learning how to play characters properly

i've seen people not balance ellen's ice stacks properly

just not gonna include that in my comparisons

i've learned how to play both and they both operate around the same tier

[buoyant grotto]

damn lvl 1 weapon and no artifacts miyabi dealt more dmg than anyone else in my team 💀

[past ibex]

don't look at her multipliers

[hazy seal]

I'd think he has much more potential as compared to Ellen

[past ibex]

wouldn't say much more, a bit stronger sure

[long tapir]

yeah hes a quick spwa char

[past ibex]

but it's not like miyabi vs ellen lvls of dps

[long tapir]

i think i saw some vid of a cn player cooking up some crazy rotation

[past ibex]

so to me they're pretty much in the same ballpark

[hazy seal]

Zhuyuan also exist

[long tapir]

yeah but shes very boring to play despite her dmg being good

and her being the only ether dps

[past ibex]

zhuyuan is just qingyi gameplay

[long tapir]

her rotation is just stay on stun, zhuyuan, nicole, back to zhuyuan and unload bullets

[past ibex]

luckily miyabi is just broken so you can run her anywhere

can still use ellen for ice weakness

[long tapir]

no ellen 😔

[hazy seal]

Ellen gonna be broken when they release skins yep

[long tapir]

worst part of only having miyabi and zhuyuan is that the enemies have both ice and ether weakness and the other side doesnt have either

[hazy seal]

When there are 3 boss all of which wants anomaly but I play disorder om

Wheres mah Burnice

[past ibex]

i don't really know what to do with my m0s1 burnice once i get miyabi

cause i've been using with her yanagi

unless i pull jane

[hazy seal]

Burnice is pretty much with Jane?

[past ibex]

ye

unfortunately

[hazy seal]

Or use piper?

[past ibex]

i don't have rat

[hazy seal]

Calydon

[past ibex]

tru

i should check if i have m6

[hazy seal]

I've seen teams

[long tapir]

i run a miyabi lucy burnice team

[hazy seal]

There's synergy?

[past ibex]

more like he doesn't have yanagi

so that's the next best

you can use ig

no lighter either

[long tapir]

ye

if your rotations are good

[buoyant grotto]

[hazy seal]

I meant the team passive thingy

[long tapir]

ah yeah

there is 3/3

[hazy seal]

Oh pog

[long tapir]

miyabi needs a same faction or supp unit on team

and lucy fills that supp unit

and lucy/burnice got each other

[hazy seal]

zzz is quite restrictive in that sense

[long tapir]

i dont mind

but i get it

[buoyant grotto]

ig i dont have better choice?

[past ibex]

yeah that's uh

the best f2p

[past ibex]

yeah I can see it

I also enjoy that it makes you use factions together

feels different

zzz has been cooking real hard

been my favorite gacha game as of recent

story was one of the best, qol changes were insane, and gameplay has been pretty fun

[hazy seal]

I dont really mind since I am braindead at building teams

But forcing me to place in a char just for it? Idk

[buoyant grotto]

this in hsr when
imagine using team of dan heng, march, ||sunday||, sustain welt
and they would be op bc astral express faction buff

[hazy seal]

I've been playing 2/3 Jane doe for at least 2 patches lmao

The tft special

[past ibex]

mhmm i think you can forego like 1 buff

if the team feels better to play

[hazy seal]

I forego the Jane buff lmao

Absolutely dogwater and I didn't realise it for a long time

That proves how broken anomaly was before the enemy hp got buff

[past ibex]

The ipc is the closest thing I can think of, or like acheron and herta needing path of nihility/erudition

[hazy seal]

Bro

Imagine Abundance emanator requiring more Abundance in team

[past ibex]

Tbf when you have lingsha dps anything is possible

[hazy seal]

Yes but yes

[past ibex]

When your healers start doing more damage

Than your actual dps

[hazy seal]

Either she is doing 8k or 80k

Super break moment

[past ibex]

I've seen some people running crit lingsha

Actually looks good lol

[hazy seal]

I did say something about dps Lingsha prior to her release because it would be funni

Sunday Jade Lingsha Robin

[past ibex]

I thought she'd be a sub dps at best but the fact that people are replacing ff with lingsha was beyond my expectations

[hazy seal]

Frfr

[past ibex]

Erudition unit

[buoyant grotto]

iirc sunday makes crit lingsha viable

crit healer lc when

[past ibex]

Side note I'm excited to pull herta just so I can use serval again

[buoyant grotto]

cant do more now ig

[past ibex]

Yeah you just want more cr

[past ibex]

LINGSHA NOOOOO

[buoyant grotto]

finally done

[buoyant grotto]

boothill, hmm

[long tapir]

damn

i need lingsha too...

[past ibex]

I'm kinda deciding between huohuo and lingsha but lingsha just seems so op

[long tapir]

https://youtu.be/5vl54jRPFn0?si=i9_7U80Paldn0_H1
@hazy seal not the best rotation but hope u get the gist of it

start out with lucy for buff, use burnice burn, and swap to miyabi and build stacks and repeat

or start out with burnice and then lucy for more uptime on lucy buff

[buoyant grotto]

i like huohuo but she feels nowhere close to be must

[past ibex]

It's mainly for the Robin pairing

Tho I guess with lingsha's fua they kinda equal out

[buoyant grotto]

tbh i mostly use huohuo with dot

[past ibex]

serval is back in the meta and i'm here for it

just wait till herta comes out

[hazy seal]

Wait a minute

She might fit better than other 4* erudition since she doesn't have conditions to aoe

[rigid island]

40 rolls and didnt get miyabi fuck this game

[past ibex]

She is herta's best f2p alternative rn

[past ibex]

I'm 117 pulls in still no miyabi

[rigid island]

i assume you got cucked on the 90 mercy

[past ibex]

Yep, 3rd time in a row

[rigid island]

rip

[past ibex]

First on bunice and then yanagi

Now miyabi

[rigid island]

mfs didnt even give me any returning player boost

[past ibex]

I've been singing this games praises since launch and this is how I'm treated

[past ibex]

You weren't gone long enough?

[hazy seal]

Bro even paid

[rigid island]

feels like forever

[past ibex]

You've gotta be gone for like a long time

[rigid island]

like 3 patches?

i think

[past ibex]

Oh damn

Then idk

[hazy seal]

I bought that 3$ thingy using some Google survey money

[rigid island]

i stopped just as qingyi came out

[hazy seal]

I am whale now sadge

[past ibex]

No shame in that lol becoming a whale literally just means you aren't as lucky as other people

If I won all my 5050s I wouldn't be spending a dime

[hazy seal]

2x random resources from tmr

I'll level my engine up tmr

[buoyant grotto]

idk if its location issue but google survey is so inconsistent for me
but hey free money is free money, even in small amounts

There are no disguise

i guess there's firefly

but the last two big characters for wuwa

the story literally revolved around

[buoyant grotto]

Genshin has ayaka

[past ibex]

a somewhat romantic interest

like other games are subtle but this is heavily implied lmao

like bro was telling the mc that we were fated to be with each other in every universe

?!!!

genshin has been superrrrrrrr tame until citlali event

and even then its not as extreme as blatant confessions

wuwa is pretty direct

need women like that irl 🥺

Do I want fugue now
Thats the question

[hazy seal]

Jade

[past ibex]

if you have nothing invested in superbreak then no lmao

there is some cope that you can use her with acheron but you have jiaoqiu so she's not necessary

or you can just pull cause she's pretty

and use it with himeko in pf

[buoyant grotto]

I wanted her to enable another archetype since I heard she can work wo ruan mei

[buoyant grotto]

She's very pretty but I don't only pull for looks
I pull for looks and kit

[past ibex]

but who would you use her with

the exo break is a very unique kit i guess

so that's one of a kind

oh right xueyi

ah right she only has her toughness ignore on her ult

fair nuff

I respect using a 4* dps

[hazy seal]

True

I am trying to use Welt SW Acheron in SU and no results yet

My erudition knock off

[past ibex]

i gave up on using welt so long ago

even have two of his lcs

[hazy seal]

Absolute ahh

Its worst than dot acheron om

[buoyant grotto]

Same
I'm waiting for his e6 (he's e3 now)

[buoyant grotto]

I'm xueyi and serval simp

[hazy seal]

I made mono quantum function with Seele dps in SU, with two 3* equation carry

[past ibex]

welt's kit just feels too niche to fit into anything

which is a shame

[past ibex]

understandable

only reason i didn't use xueyi was cause firefly came out

[hazy seal]

Welt with 4* DH

[past ibex]

and i'm gonna be using serval once i get herta

[hazy seal]

That might be me
