bubba live reaction

[hazy seal]

Edged for so long and only gamba twice

[buoyant grotto]

man is already ready for 3.0 banners

[hazy seal]

I haven't touched my Jades yet

Which is like 200 pulls worth

[buoyant grotto]

its 2nd time
i get double crit rope from this set
with 4 suns
and 2nd time its fucking break effect

and it thanosed

[past ibex]

this guy man

[hazy seal]

No man

[past ibex]

I stand by the law of averages will come after everyone

[hazy seal]

Herta Jade Algaea

[past ibex]

must be nice to be able to try for all 3

i'll be happy enough to get one

[hazy seal]

I have 76 pity and guarantee for Mavuika ready

[buoyant grotto]

im probably skipping mavuika for arle

[past ibex]

https://youtu.be/wzW7ovdmnsg?si=Qmr43tGUNz5RT1D_ this tsundere grandma almost made me want to come back

[buoyant grotto]

thank god they nerfed mavuika

no more must pull

[hazy seal]

I'd pull even if she is Dehya

[past ibex]

I fucking hate this game

lost 5050 at 50 pity

got her at 70 pity

left with 20 pulls to my name

4 5050s lost in a row now

[buoyant grotto]

Welcome to my world

[past ibex]

it's worse cause it's across multiple games

[buoyant grotto]

Do I have to remind u I lost 3 50/50s in a row in arknights too?

And btw arknights doesn't have guaranteed

Only game I was lucky recently was genshin

Until I got vortex

Zzz barely lucky bc despite being like 30 pulls early, miyabi was guaranteed

[past ibex]

yeah idk i'm just sad now

i think i can still get herta

but really wanted her lc too

maybe it's time to whale

wuwa pulls next week surely i don't lose again

[hazy seal]

Done with SU

She does less dmg than Lingsha

😭

[past ibex]

she's not meant to do dmg

also lingsha broken

i have e2 gepard now yipee

[hazy seal]

Her enhanced basic attack is so...

Underwhelming

[past ibex]

she's quite literally there for the exo break

the rest are just

nice additions

her ult is also

super expensive

[hazy seal]

I see err is needed

[past ibex]

uhhh

[hazy seal]

I'll adjust as I go

[past ibex]

if u have enough break effect

then yeah

you need just enough to trigger your kalpagni

in combat

[hazy seal]

I was running that 220 BE dmg nonsense

Out of combat

Aka dmg build

[past ibex]

yeah any additional be is pretty useless

just need to hit 240% in battle

and you're good

with her lc u shouldn't have issues

[hazy seal]

I blame my fire orb, but its the only thing with BE and ehr

[past ibex]

funny how the one time i need a hp/def orb

i don't have one

[hazy seal]

I'm going glass cannon

[past ibex]

need a bit more break effect, but my speed is just perfect

only just need like 1 or 2 be rolls in my orb and that should be good

[hazy seal]

Wow nice spd

But my FF is 169 so her first turn is bricked

[past ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/cars-lightning-mcqueen-speed-im-speed-i-am-speed-gif-25593042

my ehr is just perfect too

solid build

herta prefarm now ig

[hazy seal]

Fr

[past ibex]

gonna wait for the chinese calcs to see how strong her sig is

cause I think rn the main thing is just the cr stat stick and skill point refund on ult that's important

[past ibex]

insane

[past ibex]

Based on Prydwen, after Fugue's release, Rappa is now the highest overall rated DPS, leaving only 1 tier short in MoC to reach perfect T0 across all game modes...

[lavish coral]

THANK YOU

[buoyant grotto]

ok

not that bad

[buoyant grotto]

1:3 ratio

[flat galleon]

fml I caved in and got fugue

pull now regret later

[buoyant grotto]

best skin in arknights

[dreamy trout]

Cutie

[flat galleon]

need to do more relic reshuffling again

[past ibex]

you got her lc as well?

also damn no 4pc

cause if you have her lc there shouldn't be a need to run two break sets

[flat galleon]

yeah I realised that now looking at combat stats

I can try a 4 set but it's so bad, no useful substat on any of my other 4pc break pieces

maybe just screw gallaghers other stuff

[past ibex]

oop i mean if no better pieces then this should be ok

just a bit more ehr needed

[buoyant grotto]

i was told that wo rm fugue isnt worth pulling unless im getting e1
so idk now

[past ibex]

hmm i mean running break comps without ruan mei is a choice

[buoyant grotto]

[past ibex]

i don't know what's up with gacha smack and mrpokke

when it comes to firefly

it's the typical overreacting to certain hate

and now they're just constantly looking to shit on her to piss people off lol

[buoyant grotto]

theyre farming ig

[past ibex]

the one thing that I hate about these gacha ccs

it's why IWTL gaming still my go to

none of this extracurricular stuff and just straight up guides

[buoyant grotto]

btw, no hate on firefly
and idk why no one mentions it
but prydwen should add big "!!!!!!!!!!" on firefly that shes t0 ONLY with ruan mei
bc wo rm she loses like 60% dmg

and some new players will come during firefly banner, see her in t0 everywhere, pull and be surprised shes not as good just bc they dont have rm

[past ibex]

I mean that feels like it applies to every dps

acheron without jiaoqiu

is a lot worse

[buoyant grotto]

nah

[past ibex]

feixiao without robin

like that's how they make their tier lists

that's why jingyuan is so high now

cause sunday exists

[buoyant grotto]

pela cope with acheron is much better than pela cope with ff

[buoyant grotto]

he also should have it

[past ibex]

idk I think it's fine lol

if you're a player

you should understand that a break comp

needs ruan mei

or else you shouldn't even be playing it

it's the most specialized comp in the game

[buoyant grotto]

i mean for us its fine
but i think strictly about new players

[past ibex]

I don't think new players are really checking tier lists lol

and if they are they probably aren't a casual casual

[buoyant grotto]

u would be surprised

[past ibex]

so you would assume

they'd be smart enough

to check her team comps

and guides

that indicate ruan mei is super important

[buoyant grotto]

during my time on hsr server i saw a lot of newbies only looking at tier list when deciding to pull first 5*
no videos or anything, just tier list

[past ibex]

if they are in a hsr server they should be asking people around

also any of these characters in the tierlist

if you don't have the right characters

they aren't gonna be good lol

[buoyant grotto]

yeah i got banned from hsr server from aruguing with mod who was spreading misinfo about chars (especially boothill)

so yeah, they should ask

[past ibex]

I think you're just silly if you pull strictly based off tier lists

and we should not accomodate for silly people

like the normal human common sense thing to do is

check tier lists, if they're high up

check what units you need to build their comp

[buoyant grotto]

u expect a lot of sense from gacha players

[past ibex]

I expect common sense cause they're human beings

with functioning brains

so if we're saying we should

make all these disclaimers in these tier lists

just cause people can't think

then I just disagree

[buoyant grotto]

its literally just 1 disclaimer

[past ibex]

just like how you can literally just click on her character on this website

and there's a page

for team comps

[buoyant grotto]

"x unit is not as good wo y unit, have that in mind when pulling for them"

[past ibex]

prydwen literally has a whole ass review on it on her character page

you are literally

on the website

[buoyant grotto]

as i said, u expect a lot from gacha players

[past ibex]

bro if you're gonna throw out that excuse for them

i'm not gonna entertain it

use your brain

if they're pulling firefly without ruan mei cause they can't read

they deserve it

also probably means they aren't serious about clearing end game content

so who cares if they don't have ruan mei or not anyways

[buoyant grotto]

yeah, like even there theres no info about losing like 60% dmg without simply having rm

[past ibex]

i mean it literally says there

best final option

lol

[buoyant grotto]

u expect ppl arent as dumb as they are

[past ibex]

sorry I just don't really care about people being dumb

I didn't know shit when I first started this game

and I had to read up and find things myself

if people aren't willing to do that

that means they don't really care

about clearing the endgame content

so at that point sure you don't need ruan mei

[buoyant grotto]

not everyone starts game with instantly thinking about end game
a lot of ppl start thinking about endgame with time

[past ibex]

good so they'll learn how to think eventually

btw the average player

does not care about endgame content

[dreamy trout]

I have never cared about endgame in any gacha

[past ibex]

they're just there to pull their waifus

and move on

[dreamy trout]

^

I just play to enjoy story, music, and get cool characters and stuff

Like, meta? How about you meta some grass

[past ibex]

and the ones that do should put in more effort if you want to clear it

just like with any game

you just don't magically know everything

saying that gacha players don't think is just a lazy excuse

[buoyant grotto]

i accidentally made my arknights acc so good i can not pull meta for 2 years and my acc will still be able to clear everything

[past ibex]

what not having powercreep does to a game

hoyo could never

[buoyant grotto]

actually
arknights does have powercreep

wisadel moment

[past ibex]

i'd assume it's not to the extent of hoyo games

that's including hi3

which is notorious for it

[buoyant grotto]

wisadel is like having team in genshin made of 4 neuvilettes and all use their ca at same time

[buoyant grotto]

genshin was doing really good until fontaine tbh

[past ibex]

I think it's easier to slowdown powercreep in a game like genshin than it is star rail

kits are simpler

[buoyant grotto]

yeah, turn based is easier to powercreep

bc u pretty much have 2 buttons and passive

[hazy seal]

200 BE wow

[flat galleon]

not 4 pc though

did further reshuffling and levelling of other relics, I think I'm happy with this now

[past ibex]

yeah you definitely will have way too much BE in combat

[past ibex]

oh yeah wow this is perfect

[flat galleon]

I can't even count how they do the +90 during combat

but whatever

20 rm, 30 fugue

where's the other 40 from lol

[past ibex]

kalpagni

you get 40% from hitting fire weak

which is guaranteed with firefly

[flat galleon]

oh I'm dumb 🏃

[hazy seal]

Wanna see mine

[flat galleon]

go for it

[hazy seal]

Unsolicited Fugue pics

[flat galleon]

[past ibex]

must be nice having sig

I can't afford to run er rope

[hazy seal]

Yeah

[past ibex]

welp gotta move on

prefarm herta time

I think this is actually

the final nail in the coffin for my jingliu

[flat galleon]

the prefarming never stops

[past ibex]

my herta is just gonna take whatever relics she had

I will never forget when you were the strongest

[flat galleon]

one day jingliu I'd use you again

[hazy seal]

The erudition set isn't real

I did 4 run ytd with 0 pieces om

Not even about usability, just straight up 0 piece

[past ibex]

nothing beats the break fua domain for me

my feixiao still doesn't have good hands

[hazy seal]

All my break hands and balls are mid

Follow jp creators instead

I have no idea what they are saying but cool

[past ibex]

damn fireflop

rappa is actually having so much value now

especially since moc is 5 targets

[hazy seal]

In conclusion, Lingsha

[past ibex]

as well

💀

it's all just pure fiction? always has been

[hazy seal]

Imma test Lingsha with break team by replacing FF with Fugue

[past ibex]

she probably does better in every scenario where it's 5 target

won't even be surprised

[buoyant grotto]

xueyi gaming

[hazy seal]

Lingsha super break is so stupid

So is that Himeko nonsense

[hazy seal]

I'll try

[past ibex]

all ears

[buoyant grotto]

i was always rappa believer

[past ibex]

fugue has completely unlocked her

[buoyant grotto]

skip button where

[past ibex]

god damn bro who skips cutscenes

[hazy seal]

Yah wheres the March Fugue superbreak

[viscid elm]

I see a lot of people on the ZZZ reddit who I have notes on (Reddit enhancement extension, and cause I'm petty like that) that used to trash ZZZ now love Miyabi and the new update

[buoyant grotto]

i already saw it when my friend was streaming it so i dont want to watch same thing again

[cosmic zephyr]

love zzz cinematics

[viscid elm]

Predicted

[hazy seal]

Xueyi feels like she stops doing anything once the bar is broken

[past ibex]

it's funny how wrong people were about zzz and wuwa

both games have improved astronomically as the patches have gone by

[buoyant grotto]

thats true, she wants toughness dmg to be dealt

[hazy seal]

Especially when the idea of super break team is to keep their bars empty

[past ibex]

genshin's gotta adopt the wuwa qol where you can just claim double when farming domains

condensed resin is such a silly and outdated tool

[hazy seal]

Why hasn't anyone used March with Fugue

[past ibex]

idk how good that would be

[hazy seal]

Technically 🤓 you can save

[past ibex]

like you can only hold 5 condensed resin at a time

[hazy seal]

Just buff Lingsha even further, but is it worth replacing HMC with M7 tho

[viscid elm]

Miyabi and new patch truly is peak

[past ibex]

so once you're done you gotta go back and craft it

[buoyant grotto]

maybe double superbreak xueyi with both tb and fugue

[past ibex]

i like the ddd spam tech

so probably not

[hazy seal]

Might work if you managed to get Xueyi to hyperspeed

[past ibex]

the craziest part is how many cutscenes we got

just shows that hoyo is more than capable of having more in their other games

[buoyant grotto]

hoyo is just lazy af

[hazy seal]

Their animation team is working on the anime

Trust

[buoyant grotto]

they earn so much they dont bother to put more work into things

[hazy seal]

om

[buoyant grotto]

2 mins of cutscenes per patch so anime will come in 10 years

[hazy seal]

I see it as earning so much that they can have the artist mentality and stop caring about audience

[past ibex]

biggest part of why I love zzz so much, this game is just full of life and you can see they put so much love and care into it

[buoyant grotto]

artist mentality but they arent good artist

[hazy seal]

That's the philosophy of the zzz team which they said during the prerelease

[hazy seal]

Subjective but whatever

[past ibex]

yeah

[hazy seal]

I dont really care either. I play if it appeals to me.

[past ibex]

so glad they stuck to it amidst all the criticism

[viscid elm]

My only complain in GLF2 is the actual game feels so short

[rigid island]

counterpoint: nicole exists

[hazy seal]

I think that's the whole reason they listened, because the philosophy is about enjoyment, both devs and players alike

[buoyant grotto]

genshin team mentality: lets see how much we can shit on players and wheres the bar for it (they havent reach it yet)

[past ibex]

yep

[viscid elm]

Miyabi and her ears saved ZZZ

[past ibex]

I still remember when people said the gameplay was too boring

it's the most fun i've had in awhile

[hazy seal]

Yeah it's boring when I get staggered every 3 second

[past ibex]

once i actually get miyabi, this miyabi yanagi comp is gonna feed me for months

[hazy seal]

Wtf is player getting stunlocked

How is this an interactive mechanic

[viscid elm]

I still remember when ZZZ was a gooner game

Because yes, yes it is

[hazy seal]

Always has been

Bro have you seen the combat in your bedroom

Bro

[buoyant grotto]

kinda ironic how least gooner character is most popular in zzz

[rigid island]

which is that

[past ibex]

the what

[buoyant grotto]

||well, partly due to her being extremely overpowered||

[buoyant grotto]

miyabi

[hazy seal]

Heck I forgot to do hangouts in zzz for days om

[viscid elm]

ZY stumbling upon actual corn is

[hazy seal]

You'll unlock it when you reach M6 with full friendship bar, even then it's rng

Trust

I was the one who coded that in yep

[buoyant grotto]

smh leaker

[viscid elm]

Either way, I feel validated once again seeing the haters flip flop and love the thing they used to hate

It happened with Furina, and now ZZZ

[past ibex]

we just live in an overreaction world

happens in anything tbh

everyone just gotta take a step back

breathe

[hazy seal]

Hating is fine if they are capable of standing by their past opinions and willing to change

[viscid elm]

The hate on Furina when first shown was wild, like chill bro let the story play out first

[hazy seal]

Just don't use words that has no grounds for return

[rigid island]

ill turn into a hater if i drop some $ on trying to get miyabi and fail

[buoyant grotto]

i shat on nahida and i still do

[viscid elm]

Maybe I just spend too much time on the subreddits

[hazy seal]

Something bayesian opinions thingy

[past ibex]

the internet usually just

does that

[viscid elm]

ZZZ gave me Miyabi's sig as a Christmas present

[past ibex]

not a fun place to be on

[viscid elm]

As penance for not giving me Yanagi

[hazy seal]

ZZZ gave me nothing

[past ibex]

zzz gave me another 5050 loss

[hazy seal]

HSR gave me Fugue and LC for Xmas tho

[past ibex]

hsr gave me another 5050 loss

if wuwa fails me i'm just gonna quit gacha games

[hazy seal]

Dawei hates you in particular

[buoyant grotto]

am i only one who recently lost in all gachas?

[viscid elm]

Oh yeah which reminds me, let's see if the Mauvika haters flip again when she turns out to be amazing

[buoyant grotto]

(miyabi was early but guaranteed)

[past ibex]

I spent money on your stupid game dawei

and this is how you treat me

was I not a big enough hoyobot

[rigid island]

my god they fixed the captcha on signin not working

[hazy seal]

I'll get Mavuika

[rigid island]

a miracle

[buoyant grotto]

lets begin with her visual design being questionable at least

[viscid elm]

I have 150 pulls on Genshin, I WILL get Mauvika

Wish early though so I can get Citlani too

[hazy seal]

The entire region is hecking questionable

[buoyant grotto]

yeah i dislike natlan a lot in general

[hazy seal]

Idc, I'll pull

[past ibex]

it's different for sure

[buoyant grotto]

its so off

[past ibex]

I think just having follow up on fontaine is a tall enough task

[hazy seal]

The only lore you get is primordial dragon techs

[past ibex]

yanagi's parry is the greatest mechanic in this game

god it's so satisfying

[hazy seal]

Not even Caesar?

[past ibex]

i think yanagi's one is cooler cause it's not really the main intention of her skill

[buoyant grotto]

region enjoyment for me

[past ibex]

liyue was a lot lower for me

I just did not find anything

that stood out to me

[hazy seal]

Cool

[past ibex]

also I hated the mountainous terrain

[hazy seal]

I dont remember and I dont care anymore

[past ibex]

climbing for days

[buoyant grotto]

sumeru with 3 good quests in over a year and terrible exploration

and natlan somehow has beaten it already

[hazy seal]

Mondstadt is intro
Liyue is world building
Inazuma is mostly Raiden and the citizen's story
Sumeru continues with the lore of ancient and divinity

Fontaine ties up repercussions of divinity and a sprinkle of Fatui or abyss

Slowly, we see that the Archons are taking actions, with venti the least and mavuika the most rn

Raiden does jack

[past ibex]

Also just made realise how messy the xianzhou arc was, such a wasted opportunity cause once you actually understand the story it's a little more mind blowing

[hazy seal]

Xianzhou is Marshall waiting room

[past ibex]

Star rail got tone down on the yapfest

If there's one thing it's taught me, don't trust the tax people

[buoyant grotto]

hoyo in general has really huge problem with "show, dont tell"

[past ibex]

Zzz doesn't really have that issue too much

Wait till you get to 1.4

Plot wise wasn't the craziest, but the execution was smooth and concise

I really loved penacony but holy it was a yapfest at times

It's why some people have a hard time understanding the story in its entirety

[buoyant grotto]

like is it hard for multimillion dollar company to at least add some static images of things happening instead black screen with text?

[past ibex]

They've been doing a lot better recently

At least with the rappa quest

https://fxtwitter.com/WW_JP_Official/status/1872130218522972587

harumasa is pretty fun

His combos are very satisfying

ig for that amount of investment she doesn't score very well

[buoyant grotto]

Full auto

Would be 3400 if gallagher ai wasnt stupid af

[past ibex]

probably should be a bit higher

like t3

[buoyant grotto]

And would be 3400 if I wasn't <redacted> and didn't forget to give gallagher qpq in team with sunday and robin

[past ibex]

t2-t3

it's basically a combination of performance and investment

[buoyant grotto]

Ye
I wouldn't put her higher than t2
But t4 is a joke

[past ibex]

ye i'd agree

I mean their tier lists aren't perfect

rappa not in t0

is funny

when firefly is there

[buoyant grotto]

Serval should be at least t3 in both pf and current as after sunday release

[buoyant grotto]

Fugue not t0 in pf after her proving she's t0 in pf hour after release

[past ibex]

I think she'll get bumped up eventually

I like how GFL2, and Neural Cloud as well, take 2 star characters and such and characters nobody cares about and make them main characters and high rarity characters

[hazy seal]

Wheres Rapi...

[past ibex]

46 pity no mibabi yet

pls come home you little fox rat

[long tapir]

30 more for guarantee rates 🙏

[past ibex]

I guess that's why this game gave me two grace sigs 😄

One for yanagi and one for miyabi

[past ibex]

https://open.spotify.com/track/0bIxAbpmJ9FAOWaPxnT1Xq?si=8f413962bc154d2b hell yeah finally can listen to S rank music

ptsd for me though

[buoyant grotto]

not a bad build ig

[buoyant grotto]

YOOOOOOOO

[past ibex]

Nice

[hazy seal]

Huge

[past ibex]

oh wow zzz new event

was wondering why the bangboo one was so short

guess they were waiting to release this

[nova depot]

this apocalyptic shadow is so lame

i legit cant do stage 3

[past ibex]

what're you running

[buoyant grotto]

serval 2nd side

[past ibex]

i'm sure he has plenty of better options

[buoyant grotto]

😔

[past ibex]

don't know a soul that doesn't have acheron

actually I have one friend who doesn't but he doesn't like pulling mainstream meta stuff

[buoyant grotto]

i know more ppl that dont have acheron than ppl who dont have firefly tbh

[past ibex]

most of my friends own either or

i think i'm the only one who has feixiao

cause I was the only one who properly invested in fua

[buoyant grotto]

btw when ferret mentioned apoc i thought new one released

[lavish coral]

first ten pull no pity

welt

🥹

[past ibex]

bruh

still got a guaranteed and only wasted 10 pulls

[buoyant grotto]

Imagine being lucky

Btw i checked my pulls history in zzz

I thought miyabi was early

She wasn't

79

[nova depot]

i do but couldnt brute force it

maybe i try again

[past ibex]

yeah acheron should be able to clean it with ease

[buoyant grotto]

I brutforced 1st half with acheron

Had to go speed boots tho

[past ibex]

you can use break dot fua for 1st half

[buoyant grotto]

My dot wasn't clearing fast enough

[past ibex]

same

was probably just a skill diff and build diff

[hazy seal]

as?

[past ibex]

yea

Hsr livestream next week means we should be getting tribbie and mydei drip marketing next week

[hazy seal]

I sure hope I have enuf pulls

Also why are they working on the 1st

[past ibex]

https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail_leaks/s/yIr2VE6OaL

Also wow good buffs again for herta

Seems like e1 is now for sure better than s1

Not that I can afford it

[long tapir]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/832211259725709364.gif?size=128&quality=lossless

[past ibex]

preservation march though

like 5 people left on the planet still using that

guess it's if you love her enough you just get to collect

[shrewd orbit]

Already up to 50 pulls for evelyn

[past ibex]

meanwhile i'm still 62 pity in for miyabi

[shrewd orbit]

And they're giving out an extra 20 for cny next patch

[long tapir]

I use neither so I'm good

[shrewd orbit]

You still got 3 weeks for Miyabi

New banner system is very nice

[past ibex]

yeah i'm definitely gonna get it

I just want astra yao as well lol

gonna be slightly rough

if i can win my 5050 it's doable

[hazy seal]

So she wants Lingsha sp

Aoe for her er

[past ibex]

yeah just any aoe

[hazy seal]

Bro I am just doing the Lingsha propaganda rn om

But with her, it'll be sp hell

[past ibex]

i mean lingsha and aventurine are both just

super good

in most comps

also herta comps vary depending on what mode

pure fiction will be small herta

or jade

[hazy seal]

Jade

Trust

[past ibex]

but for like 3 targets, serval probs

not sure how jade performs in 3 targets

but she is still the "bis" for her

you put the debt collector on lingsha

[hazy seal]

Well she is the least conditional erudition FUA rn

Next up would be Argenti

[past ibex]

yeah

therta is gonna be great

cause it looks like she's gonna be one of the best universal units

with like

minimal investment

you literally just need her and you should be able to perform with like serval, rmc, and gallagher

then probably pull for upgrades as the content gets harder down the line

can't think of any other dps rn that needs like no other premium unit for now

[hazy seal]

I'll see if I can get Jade

[rigid island]

i can't tell if zhu yuan + her engine is strong af still or if my miyabi is kneecapped by not having her engine

[past ibex]

i don't think she should be that kneecaped by not having engine

[hazy seal]

Miyabi good

[past ibex]

how's your build look like?

I assume you don't have yanagi either

[rigid island]

probably garbage

is there a site or anything that can show your builds or something

[past ibex]

hoyolab

[rigid island]

and no, i guess i have to wait a few patches for her to cycle back in?

[past ibex]

shouldn't be too far off

but yeah

probably a couple

ellen and zhuyuan rerunning next patch

so should be like 3 or 4 patches down the line

if you have no yanagi you can probably settle for like lycaon or another anomaly unit

[rigid island]

havent done any disc stuff yet

[past ibex]

💀

[rigid island]

LOL

[past ibex]

yeah that explains

bro don't even have 6 disks

there's a new set that was made for her

probably wanna just farm that

[rigid island]

oh lmfao

[past ibex]

this one

[rigid island]

damn

alright

[past ibex]

i think 2pc polar metal is recommended but woodpecker is good for additional cr

also you want to get rainforest gourmet

you can buy that wengine at the gadget store

[rigid island]

gotcha

uh its not in the store

do i need to have finished chapter 5 or something

nvm im blind

[rigid island]

ok that feels better

[past ibex]

yeah even if your miyabi is not as invested, she should still perform better or at similar levels as your zhu yuan

[rigid island]

seems about there now

probably doesnt help that where im up to doesnt seem to have a lot of weak to ice enemies

[past ibex]

yeah she's gonna be the brute force unit

[long tapir]

she can handle a lot of ice res enemies too

[long tapir]

holy moly

not bad

[rigid island]

chapter 5 was kinda fire

[past ibex]

it changed everything

feels like the story is finally getting some momentum

kinda was unsure how everything would tie in

but it all worked out beautifully

[rigid island]

yeah it was rather slow up until chapter 4

[past ibex]

it took its time introducing all these different factions

and the payoff

[long tapir]

mostly setup ye

[past ibex]

was worth it

[long tapir]

very hi3-coded

💀

though idk if its a good thing at this point but zzz looks promising

[past ibex]

the days of it being the fun lighthearted game are over

depression

[long tapir]

neverrrr lettttt you gooooooo

it prob wont be that serious until a few more arcs

rn its semi serious but nothing too much the sacrifices feel like setup imo

[past ibex]

was just playing the character quests

and like

section 6 is just depressing

nice little trauma bonding group

[rigid island]

i havent done those yet

big backlog

[past ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/zzz-zzzero-zenless-zone-zero-official-release-teaser-the-person-you-are-calling-is-in-a-hollow-gif-9176382063399514811

some of the character quests are misses which is to be expected

but harumasa's one was pretty damn good

[rigid island]

hmm astra yao ether/support

[past ibex]

i think she's a must pull

she's gonna be a universal support

[rigid island]

good swap out for nicole maybe

[past ibex]

that you can just slot in to any team

yeah we'll have to wait to see the tests

but nicole should still be pretty good for zhu yuan still

[long tapir]

yeah the crit rate from nicole m6 is pretty nice qol

[past ibex]

astra yao will be incredibly important for evelyn

with the quick swap kit

[rigid island]

m6 lol

[long tapir]

she'll be very important for me 😳

[rigid island]

i dont even think i have 3 or so

[past ibex]

tru

oh damn i don't use mine and even i have m6

it's fine you'll get most 4 star mindscapes as you play more

[rigid island]

I gotta say, the game is so much more engaging without those terrible tv segments

Even with some of the dialogue going on for a bit

[past ibex]

yeah they've been ironing out a lot of the rough edges over the past few patches

been having a good time

the tv segments were good but i'm glad they're limiting it to like exploration quests and what not

[rigid island]

ngl I hated them

[long tapir]

the tv wasnt that bad, it saved time 😭

[past ibex]

I just didn't like it in story quests

really took you out of it

also I gotta mention it again but i'm still amazed at how many cutscenes we got for this one story

felt like there was one every 5 minutes

[rigid island]

Yeah it was a nice change of pace from just the story board ones

[buoyant grotto]

[past ibex]

I mean yeah they were reliable for awhile already

[buoyant grotto]

first sunday

now them

sparkle found dead

[past ibex]

Leaks say she's a teamwide buffer

Might be herta support but probably will be great universally

[buoyant grotto]

im scared

bc hsr team likes to overcook with supports

[hazy seal]

?????

[past ibex]

I mean that's why I've been saying that she was unskippable for awhile lmao

Herta -> tribbie -> castorice is probably the pipeline for me

[hazy seal]

Wasn't there 2 whole hp users?

Did I remember wrongly?

[past ibex]

I remember the ice dude

Was one

[buoyant grotto]

after all this time im proud of doing 1 thing in hsr

skipping sparkle

[past ibex]

Yeah that was the one good skippable harmony

I pulled more cause of waifu

[flat galleon]

huh another quantum harmony?

[hazy seal]

I pulled sparkle because luls

1 multi was all I did

I'm gonna sacc every one

i almost got early bs too

too bad she turned to yanqing

[buoyant grotto]

wtf

nice hacks

[past ibex]

this has been like

my first good crafted piece

in months

[flat galleon]

[past ibex]

just swapped by jingliu pieces over, pretty yuck still

the sig would be so nice for the stats

I think streets said atk boots > spd boots

so I can probably look to change that

and I think similar in the sense with feixiao where you want closer to 90% cr

ok yeah in combat the cdmg is insane lol and with the f2p lineup

[flat galleon]

300 during combat sheesh

[past ibex]

rmc gonna be so contested for my teams

she gets like +80

from having another erudition unit

and then rmc gives cdmg too

so yeah pretty much feixiao

good to know

[flat galleon]

oh rmc gives cdmg interesting

maybe I just full on transfer jingliu's gear if I end up getting herta

[past ibex]

yeah uh there's a bit more cdmg

that i have no idea where it comes from

but it's great

[hazy seal]

Hmm...

Still gonna try for triple erudition

[past ibex]

y tho, just for the memes?

[buoyant grotto]

1 spd off 😔

[lavish coral]

starting to feel the struggle rn

[buoyant grotto]

I struggled but sunday changed everything

[lavish coral]

u got him? grats

[buoyant grotto]

Lost 50/50 and had to go all way back to soft pity to get him

Got his lc early tho

[lavish coral]

how the fuck does this even exist, she’s not even out yet 😭

[buoyant grotto]

Datamine

[lavish coral]

damn

[buoyant grotto]

Her entire kit with numbers is known

Ofc stc

[lavish coral]

how am I even staying relatively afloat under 2024 hsr man

[buoyant grotto]

Wife viable again

Stage 4 ofc

[flat galleon]

no need to get all characters

[lavish coral]

wdym

[buoyant grotto]

Basically pull supports and be very selective with dps

[past ibex]

yeah if you have premium supports you can run whatever dps you want lol

use hook if you want

[past ibex]

I need to swap to atk boots anyways

[buoyant grotto]

Me running serval
||Sunday and robin do all the job||

[past ibex]

serval should do all the battery needed

for my herta to ult

[flat galleon]

current stuff still pretty relevant all things considered

my acheron still used for all content since her release I don't expect it to change very quickly anytime soon

[buoyant grotto]

Jiaoqiu changed everything

[hazy seal]

Other than a chest piece and maybe a head piece, I have got nothing for THerta

[past ibex]

just use your jingliu pieces

the only thing i didn't take from her was body

[hazy seal]

My JL is on 4 ice

[flat galleon]

even before jiaoqiu she was fine, main change it gave me was I was able to change back to fu xuan lc instead of the 4star trend lc

[past ibex]

oh lmao

i was sitting in that domain ever since it came out'

[hazy seal]

Maybe my bars are high but meh

[lavish coral]

ig I think I just don’t have the best relics, I keep horizontally investing into units not hyper into specific teams

[past ibex]

i think every strong dps needs their premium support eventually

like they'll be good on release with a f2p team

but as time goes on you need to put more investments for them to stay relative

[flat galleon]

be like me - no 4 set? just use 4 piece quantum set

[hazy seal]

Jade time

[buoyant grotto]

The stronger the dps the more reliant it is on premium support

[past ibex]

i don't know about that lol

like acheron with pela gui

still outperforms

other dps'

vastly

it just sends them to new heights

[buoyant grotto]

Acheron and boothill are exceptions to some degree

[lavish coral]

what’s that website to check ur hsr account online

[past ibex]

hoyolab

[buoyant grotto]

Bc boothill can run any advance forward

[past ibex]

i think everyone needs premium supports to perform

not that deep

[buoyant grotto]

I start to think fugue is more universal than rm

[buoyant grotto]

Ye

[lavish coral]

is this good enough

[flat galleon]

more than good enough lol

[lavish coral]

blades light cone 💀

[flat galleon]

just need to keep working on upgrading their relics

[buoyant grotto]

Ur acc is better than my and I can clear everything almost auto

Just pull fox dude on rerun

[lavish coral]

https://tenor.com/view/let-em-cook-let-him-cook-cooking-cooking-nothing-no-drip-gif-6790101120016036743

[buoyant grotto]

Apparently ff with hmc and fugue performs marginally better than with hmc rm

[buoyant grotto]

Me cooking with 4* dpses running sunday robin core

[lavish coral]

atleast ur relics are good

[buoyant grotto]

I'm relic farming addict

[lavish coral]

how I feel like I just login, pray that my 240 stamina does something —> get bored —> stop playing 💀

[buoyant grotto]

I was losing irl sanity farming sunday traces bc I wasn't farming relics

[past ibex]

yeah but that still doesn't mean she's more universal 💀

cause the problem with running fugue and rm

is that your super break dmg is less

[flat galleon]

yeah this is a big 'investment' game (whether you invest money to get 5 stars or time to farm relics) - just needa be patient with it

I usually go on for weeks with no relic upgrades and just kind of got used to it

[past ibex]

That's the best part about hsr

Super low investment game

5 minutes of my day

[lavish coral]

yeah but feels like u need more luck in this game than genshin sometimes

[flat galleon]

that's cope

genshin's much harder I feel

[lavish coral]

maybe in 2024

I haven’t played since 2021

[buoyant grotto]

I don't agree

[lavish coral]

or before idk

[flat galleon]

imagine actually playing when you can auto battle stuff in hsr

[buoyant grotto]

In genshin u can do much more with cope builds

[past ibex]

What part about luck? Like relics?

[flat galleon]

you could indeed but also requires much more involvement iin the game and understanding of mechanics - which differs per person but it can be harder to some

[buoyant grotto]

Well, hyperbloom still viable

And there's no more braindead team than hyperbloom

[past ibex]

Hsr's endgame is more varied so if you don't invest properly you could get screwed

[lavish coral]

imo pretty much characters + relics

like I think it matters only a little bit more

[past ibex]

Genshin does have the off piece

A lot better

[buoyant grotto]

Genshin - 2 crit rolls off change nothing
HSR - 1 speed roll off, run ruined

[lavish coral]

^

[past ibex]

Ok but why we comparing speed vs crit

It's very different games

[flat galleon]

yeah bad comparison

[lavish coral]

I don’t think that’s his point

he’s trying to make

[buoyant grotto]

I mean builds matter a lot more in hsr

[past ibex]

I mean for sure cause it's turn based

Genshin you literally have to move

[buoyant grotto]

So in hsr u not only need 5* units but also good builds on them

[flat galleon]

sure but not speed - unless you one of the youtuber sweats who wants to 1 cycle MOC, you really never have to speed tune at all

just go for as much speed as you can and fk all

[buoyant grotto]

Except u run rappa fugue then u can have cope build and still autoclear everything

[past ibex]

I don't think your builds need to be that good unless you're 0 cycling lol

My dot team has all the wrong speed tuning

And I still can clear content to this day

[flat galleon]

yeah

[buoyant grotto]

I don't even mean speed tuning
Just hitting speed thresholds

[past ibex]

I will agree that having premium supports is more important in this game

But you don't need cracked builds to clear at all

[flat galleon]

whenever I look at my kafka and always feel I built her wrong - but she's always cleared content for me so I stuck with it

[past ibex]

It's not really hard to hit 134 speed at all

Especially with speed boots

[buoyant grotto]

The worst part about my dot team is that my e0s1 bs has really good build
But my kafka sucks ass

[lavish coral]

in the end, idrc anymore atp because we’re all getting substat builds next patch lmao

[flat galleon]

yeah that's just relic luck - genshin has that too. Can't hit the damage threshold to clear abyss? back to artifact farming you go

[buoyant grotto]

They will be very limited so still 90% of getting chars built is rng

[past ibex]

I think not pulling for certain characters definitely put you in rut, but I disagree on the relics standpoint

Mediocre relics can still carry you far

[lavish coral]

what relics do u have I’m curious

I wanna know cuz I’m a filthy casual

(This is not a joke I barely play)

[past ibex]

Wdym, like my character builds? You can just look at the herta build I posted

[flat galleon]

yeah most of us here play everyday and have usable relics on most characters (usable - like 2 good substat rolls or less even)

if you barely play, you'd really have to have godlike luck to have good relics

[buoyant grotto]

Maybe with substat selector my acheron will finally be good

[flat galleon]

just needa invest time to farming

[lavish coral]

what buffs does that set give

[flat galleon]

which unfortunately, don't come overnight

[past ibex]

You get like cr and skill dmg buff after you ult iirc

Cause after herta ults she get enhanced skill

[buoyant grotto]

2pc is 8cr iirc

[lavish coral]

ye makes sense, to stay competitive gotta put the time in, which I get ur viewpoint on these matters

[flat galleon]

yeah this is why i love hsr

once you get comfortable enough, all the mundane tasks like relic farming is just auto battle

[past ibex]

We optimize our relics builds cause we're perfectionists but casuals really don't need to at all lmao

[flat galleon]

which I can do while I do other chores

[lavish coral]

what I do is hop on or some yt guide and copy stats

[past ibex]

Also once you're waiting for new characters to pull, not much to spend your resin on anyways

[past ibex]

I mean yeah we all use guides

[lavish coral]

I been full clearing everything and it’s been working for me but the struggle only happens recently

I need to keep reading 💀

[flat galleon]

yeah in that case - it's not bad characters, it's just back to relic farming you go

[lavish coral]

I’ve been using half my brain lately

[flat galleon]

I have the exact same characters you have with the addition of jiaoqiu and I clear almost all content with them

firefly and acheron team

[past ibex]

Your character roster is pretty good already, probably just missing robin

[lavish coral]

don’t remind me 💀

[flat galleon]

not even gonna be a priority for robin even

[past ibex]

He does have feixiao, Robin elevates her into another level

[flat galleon]

true

[buoyant grotto]

And jiaoqiu

[lavish coral]

my feixiao been cooking to well recently

[flat galleon]

but firefly and acheron is good enough

[lavish coral]

actually kinda boring ngl

she’s too good

[past ibex]

She is the strongest after all

[lavish coral]

she’s every f2p player’s dream

[buoyant grotto]

Having e2s1 feixiao e1s1 robin on alt made it so easy I lost interest playing on it

[past ibex]

Ok big guy

E1 Robin is broken

[lavish coral]

is this actually true 💀

[buoyant grotto]

Luck went on wrong acc

[lavish coral]

Do u actually have fei and robin with eidolons

[flat galleon]

would have stuck with that account with that luck

[buoyant grotto]

That's why I pulled it on main instead getting feixiao

[hazy seal]

Meh

Just pull every hot lady

[buoyant grotto]

I got e2s1 feixiao with f2p pulls in 2 days on my asia alt acc

And then e1s1 robin in next 3 days

[hazy seal]

Gonna max fugue traces then get back to relics

[buoyant grotto]

Fully f2p

[past ibex]

https://youtu.be/OTKQpPlEzx4?si=B6PN8NyKTLpve4Oo also wtf

I don't even know where this is from

[flat galleon]

damn sounds hype

[buoyant grotto]

When alt has better luck than main

E4 moze too

Only bad thing about this acc

Is e0 gallagher

I mean still better than no gallagher at all

[hazy seal]

Elation is so over

[flat galleon]

surely in the future some cope team with sparkle and sunday will release which will bring back relevance for sparkle

[buoyant grotto]

I mean there already are some double advance teams

But they use bronya instead sparkle bc 100% advance
