possible, robin's more universal than ruan mei now

[hazy seal]

Lingsha feels more like a rmb char tbh, with how she av her summon much like rmc

[past ibex]

ye my thoughts exactly

[hazy seal]

But her heals won't be able to catch up with Mydei imo

[past ibex]

the v3 beta gave him a lot more self healing

[hazy seal]

Oh?

[past ibex]

maybe you just run 0 sustain

yeah they changed quite a bit of stuff forhim

Taunt is guaranteed, dmg bonuses, self healing, extra action, don't exit vendetta state when deadge, your godslayer be God skill is now 150 instead of 180 charge

his ult is a lot better now

[hazy seal]

Fit his lore tbh

[past ibex]

ye, would be cool to see an actual sustainless comp

[hazy seal]

Said to be cursed with immortality and how he fought the titan solo

Is his taunt clara or yunli?

[past ibex]

uh not quite, iirc yunli taunts everyone but mydei taunts the main target and adjacent

and the meta has pretty much been 5 targets

though his taunt lasts 2 turns

yunli lasts like until next ally or enemy?

[hazy seal]

The diff btw Yunli and Clara is that Clara is a self buff while Yunli is a debuff on enemy

[hazy seal]

I think it ends on the next action

Actually requires manual play

[past ibex]

though yunli also at least has her lc

which "greatly increases her taunt value"

still a funny thing to this day

no numbers just trust me bro

[hazy seal]

Idk man

Then there's Lynx who provides increased taunt on her skill if her target is destruction or preservation

It works, but her healing can't keep up at all

[past ibex]

lynx and natasha in big 2025

[hazy seal]

Huge

[past ibex]

they already had problems keeping you alive 2 years ago

don't even want to imagine it now

[hazy seal]

They put a taunt buff but she is a hot healer

[past ibex]

mommy fans are just waiting for a real mommy healer

that's useable

[hazy seal]

Me frfr

[past ibex]

lingsha the closest thing we have

but not quite

[hazy seal]

She is a lady

Not everyone can be Bonajade

[past ibex]

she has the right model, the tall female hsr model

but not the right vibes

[hazy seal]

Her relevance will be expanded when we go back to Luofu for the nth time

[past ibex]

and the next healer is gonna be hyacine, not mommy either

[hazy seal]

[past ibex]

there's still so much in the xianzhou to unpack lol

free her

[hazy seal]

As I've said, the other generals, commission Lords, marshal

[past ibex]

luocha coffin

[hazy seal]

Fugue is joining the fray in their games

RM too

Marshal might be an emanator

There might also be abundance emanator seeing how the abomination are confined there

[past ibex]

or could be a feixiao situation too

[hazy seal]

Rangers are essentially those on the Hunt so I think Hunt emanator would be Ranger instead of Marshall

[past ibex]

Love when that happens

[past ibex]

Rip I'm not a winner

[hazy seal]

Mhmm...

[past ibex]

I heard her e1 and s1 are quite big upgrades

[hazy seal]

Thats pretty much the trend for every char rn

My eu alt got 50 for all 7 days lmao

[past ibex]

There is a slight difference imo, like on release e0s0 herta acheron have been insanely strong

Then over time you need upgrades

Even feixiao you can kinda makedo without her lc

[hazy seal]

They are emanators

[past ibex]

Firefly

[hazy seal]

I'd consider FF and friends

[past ibex]

Even rappa without lc now cause fugue exists

All the break units basically

It's more of the e2 that's absolutely busted

[hazy seal]

Fugue makes the entire team sp neutral

[past ibex]

I guess I'll just look at the calcs, maybe it's just the usual doomposting

Cute

[lavish coral]

yup no rappa no lingsha no robin no signature light cone no eidolons I’m cooked

[past ibex]

do you have jade?

my friend used small herta and jade to get like 30k

I wonder how good boothill could be in this new pure fiction

probably not the most ideal but it is a bit better for hunt

i've seen some seele clears at least

[past ibex]

i tried feixiao - small herta - robin - aven, barely got 30k lol

hunt can be ok but really isn't optimal in pf

would be good to get at least one of the erudition 5*s whether it's therta, jade or rappa

@lavish coral

[past ibex]

i tried this setup but with rmc over robin, got like 27k

actually not that bad lol

if your first half can carry it should be doable

[hazy seal]

Mhmm...

No boots for Aglaea om

I've finally maxed out all slots with characters that have their signature weapons

is crayzy

[hazy seal]

Hahaha

[past ibex]

https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail_leaks/s/Z1avLPWVXF

NO WAY DEVS ACTUALLY LISTENED

"Strengthening older characters"

[hazy seal]

Totally unheard of

[past ibex]

I heard they've done it in hi3

Not sure how they do it though, like increasing multipliers or adding new talents?

Or even reworking kits, I have doubts its anything substantial like this

[hazy seal]

Usually done by adding additional text onto their kits instead of raw numbers

Maybe improving synergy

[past ibex]

that'd be cool

surprised they were quick on the criticisms

the powercreep discussions really got to them

[hazy seal]

Well, idk if its easier to buff old chars to give them alt forms like Fugue and friends

[past ibex]

would probably make people even more pissed if that happened

people just genuinely mad their old characters suck

i do agree somewhat but i think they exaggerate a bit

[hazy seal]

Would be a giga huge promo if it is being implemented during anniversary

[past ibex]

basically 1.x characters

[hazy seal]

Literally the free hype they can provide

[past ibex]

yeah, would be a great mini reset

I do think dot is super underrated

they still perform pretty decently even without a dedicated support

[hazy seal]

They are just there

[past ibex]

i've used them in like the last 3 endgame modes

wouldn't say they're just there

[hazy seal]

At the same time, there isn't much to do about them

[past ibex]

it's literally one dedicated support like jiaoqiu to push them to that next tier

[hazy seal]

I'd say because there isn't much you can do about their build, its a decent baseline for gauging hp

[past ibex]

like every other comp has their dedicated support

[hazy seal]

Soon

[past ibex]

robin for fua, ruan mei for break, etc.

yeah that leaked character

hopefully

[hazy seal]

The lady is here soon

2 leaked dot char got cut into 1 new char instead

[long tapir]

with hi3 in particular, they added new weapon tiers like 6 stars (which are upgradable from 5*), or new weapons/stigmata sets which would be light cones and relics in hsr

theres some new weapons in hi3 that completely change the gameplay of a char

like senti with the brick

[past ibex]

interesting

[long tapir]

or with elfs/astral ops

[hazy seal]

Bricked

[long tapir]

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

brick

[past ibex]

not sure how strong relic sets could make characters

like for example the dot set for kafka is only a bit stronger than lightning set

[long tapir]

theyd have to make it super tailored to a char or else everyone else gets stronger too

[past ibex]

relic sets in hsr kinda suck

that's why so many people use rainbow sets

[hazy seal]

Flexibility is nice

But calc is a chore

Mono musk/thief acc

[long tapir]

theyre shortneing amphoreus main story 😭

story wanting players when story is given 💀

you know, the only amphoreus change i want is to make the sun/moon doors open faster

im always waiting for them to open and my spd buff expires 😭

[hazy seal]

Fr

I hated the ass transition when I am rushing puzzles

[past ibex]

it's more of they're allowing you to just choose the option that skips the dialogue

so at least if you want to know more you can still choose it

i think my main complaint is just

more dynamic expressions for the models that's about it

for me personally the dialogue was fine

just gotta present it better visually

[hazy seal]

I wonder if they allow mc to inherit all of the minor trace stats in all of their paths as a means of showing growth

The random hp and def coming in hot

[long tapir]

ehh that would be too op

[past ibex]

they're gonna make destruction mc meta

[hazy seal]

The buff mc needs

[past ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/honkai-star-rail-gif-25763466

[long tapir]

btw do these expire?

i have 600 left and i want to keep it so i can get next cycles rewards asap

[hazy seal]

No, but the shop refreshes

[past ibex]

^

[long tapir]

im not really short on credits

which is the only thing left in the shop

[hazy seal]

Oh boy credits are abundant

[long tapir]

cant believe i used to be broke at one point

this would look so much better with 500k jades 😔

[hazy seal]

I just need the thing on the right

[past ibex]

they should add more trailblaze levels, I'd like some more rewards

[hazy seal]

They should <insert game mode> more rewards

[past ibex]

4th endgame mode

[long tapir]

still 2400 jades jsut 600 split between 4 instead of 800 split between 3

[past ibex]

it would be nice to get more jades to patch, considering they're rerunning like a billion characters

and are still running 2 new charas per patch

[hazy seal]

Especially if old char are becoming relevant which makes rerunning more costly for players

[past ibex]

and they always run synergistic units together 💀

like when feixiao first came out topaz rerun

robin banner topaz rerun

i only managed to get her cause i had enough saved

but if you want the whole team you're cooked if you didn't save

[lavish coral]

thank fucking jesus

Jingyuan change to remembrance and lightning lord about to become a memosprite 😤

[past ibex]

he's technically that already isn't he, it's just the naming

[flat galleon]

Yeah technically biggest diff is jingyuan cc'd, even if it's lightning lord's turn it skips

[past ibex]

oh yeah true

they're technically not two different units

curious which units kinda need buffing and how

[flat galleon]

And with how shit lightning lord's speed is, they can keep buffing jingyuan and he'd still need to be buffed every patch to catch up

[past ibex]

maybe for jingliu, give her one stack back after exiting her state

[past ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/sunday-sunday-hsr-sunday-starrail-honkai-star-rail-sunday-chibi-gif-16199590803656612110

[flat galleon]

Not enough 😤

[past ibex]

jingliu, dhil, blade, seele, sw i guess are the main ones

[flat galleon]

In all seriousness, I think dot teams need to be buffed (or at least needs an upgrade)

[past ibex]

yeah there are leaks saying

that a future dot chara

is otw

[flat galleon]

Its such an interesting comp, wonder why it didn't peak as high as break

Yeah

[hazy seal]

Because the ideas they had are locked behind SU blessings for no reason

[flat galleon]

[past ibex]

would be nice to allow himeko's stacks to overflow

like jade's

[flat galleon]

True

Make sw's skill and ulti blast instead of single target

Bring her back to meta comps

[past ibex]

yeah I think it kinda sucks when there's a 4* who has better debuffing than you

also her weakness implant being rng feels ass

there's also jiaoqiu now

[flat galleon]

Yeah 💀

It still feels bad that even if you have a choice of pela or sw, pela always wins

For acheron at least

And its whatever type of enemies, pela just offers more

[past ibex]

you just don't really use debuffers unless you're playing acheron

harmony is just that op

[flat galleon]

I still use 2x nihility for acheron, still works 95% of the time

I do wonder how long till she just gets powercreeped to oblivion

The way it's going if I pulled eidolons for her during release, I could have been set for life

[past ibex]

the only niche she kinda has is that the weakness implant also reducess the elemental res

also her sig lc is so dogwater 😭

the dmg increase only lasts 1 turn and it gives cr

they need to redesign it

im just worried now cause this is setting up big expectations, if they don't deliver it's cooked

[long tapir]

Sw could easily be fixed by making her skill bounce and her ult blast

[past ibex]

yeah being a single target debuffer just sucks

[long tapir]

And if it bounces to same target it implants more than 1 element

[past ibex]

especially now that everything is like

3-5 targets

[hazy seal]

Thats a new charactee

[long tapir]

And blast ult implants as well or at least ignore weakness break element

[long tapir]

Ah yeah anaxa

Gg sw will never be saved

[past ibex]

doesn't reduce the element res though

[hazy seal]

Either she hack the enemies or she quits gacha gaming altogether

[past ibex]

i'm still really mixed on his kit

they're trying to mix erudition and nihility

[long tapir]

Having a shield in general halves your damage against the mob that has it

Remember how she is the first character to give us 10 fuels in mail?

[long tapir]

Maybe it's bias and overexagerting

It's either break or herta

I think Clara yunli are fine too

[nova depot]

i was trying with boothill and firefly second

but actually took so long to break

[past ibex]

Fua and dot are pretty good for second half

Fua especially since feixiao can just delete phantylia's toughness bar

[nova depot]

ok so the problem was boothill

[past ibex]

Boothill is doable first half but firefly definitely a lot more comfy

[nova depot]

firefly always

robin = obtained

last rerun was 2.6 2nd half so i might have to wait a bit

[past ibex]

I respect it, I could never

Too many new characters I want

[long tapir]

just resonate with a char so hard u want to vertically invest all the way

[past ibex]

I resonate with too many characters

Usually getting the lc is enough for me

Haven't gotten eidolons since like black swan

And that was accidental

[long tapir]

just cause theyre hot and u are too doesnt mean u resonate with them 🙄

[past ibex]

Lmao

Jingliu, Robin, feixiao herta castorice are the main ones for me

So hopefully rice lc comes home

[nova depot]

i kinda really want agalea actually

her animations look good in 2x

so im down

[flat galleon]

same but I've farmed the cavern for a bit now and still have 0 usable remembrance character relics

looks like a skip till further notice

[nova depot]

even with just sunday she doesnt seem to have energy issues

[past ibex]

If the trend keeps up with 5 targets, should definitely help the rng in getting hit

So far e0s0 runs seem pretty okay

As usual getting the lc just makes it a lot more comfy to build

She looks very fun and strong, doomers will be doomers

[nova depot]

i wish she was pushed over castorice

shes more interesting imo

but yeah she looks good

[past ibex]

We still know nothing about castorice, I think people will warm up on her as time goes on

But for sure aglaea is the most interesting character rn

[long tapir]

theyll probably give her the same treatment as aventurine

make a main story all about her and her past to make us like her

[past ibex]

Yeah

She has the aloof airheaded appeal to her now at least

Also has really been that pushed? Like I know she's gonna be the new release during the anniversary but like so far I don't really feel it yet

[long tapir]

theyre kind of keeping her in our minds like a looming presence, with her inheriting the death titan coreflame and all

but not really in the spotlight yet

they might push her more in 3.1

[hazy seal]

Iirc her story is about finding her missing god

Don't rmb if she has gotten their coreflame

[long tapir]

she hasnt, but we know she will cause of how the story will progress

given how they posted her dragon animation, and her scythe being diff than her in a diff trailer i assume she will inherit it at one point in the story

[past ibex]

Yeah idk it really feels like everyone's got their time

Eventually when we get the other chrysos heirs they will have their time

[long tapir]

ye based off of aglea's voicelines i assume she knows some of the other heirs that we havent met yet

like anaxas and cipher

[hazy seal]

More exposition

Let's go

[past ibex]

Lol they're really dropping crumbs for castorice instead of the kit

For weeks now

[lavish coral]

me: a f2p boothill enjoyer looking at this 🥹

[past ibex]

Honestly speed is just so important on break

Make sure they are 160 in battle

Ruan mei makes it so easy

[lavish coral]

thats the dream...

[past ibex]

It's shouldn't be too hard

Just need 150 and Ruan mei gives a free 10

[lavish coral]

wtf

[past ibex]

You didn't know she gives 10 speed?

[lavish coral]

no

but still

[past ibex]

To your whole team

[lavish coral]

oh wait "in battle"

I read it as basic stats

[past ibex]

Yeah it makes speed tuning not so hard for break teams

Speed and action value is just everything in a turn based game

March my beloved

[past ibex]

Literally the only reason I could cope with skipping aglaea

[long tapir]

time to set it as your wallpaper so u wont be temped by aglea

[past ibex]

I have strong faith

Not your average gacha player

Fomo can't best me

[flat galleon]

So will both relic sets from the cavern work for her? Need to pre farm her too

[past ibex]

uh i'm assuming the quantum one

cause she'll be slow

[flat galleon]

hmmm

[hazy seal]

I'd pull

Trust

[flat galleon]

Yeah same

But I kinda want to brute force sunday and sparkle with her

Surely that can be viable upon her kit

[past ibex]

i mean sunday will be for sure

[hazy seal]

I'm gonna pull all day everyday

Trust

I will have enough for Tribbie too

[past ibex]

good luck

[hazy seal]

You too

[lavish coral]

@past ibex what do i pull for in zzz

[past ibex]

try to get astra yao

current banner

she's robin

in this game

[lavish coral]

okay

do i get her w engine

im f2p maxxing this game as well

[past ibex]

nah

her wengine isn't the best

you pullin strictly for meta or who you like

[long tapir]

yeah same rule in hsr/genshin where most chars signature weapons arent that great except for a select few

the 4* are good enough if u time invest

[past ibex]

kinda unfortunate you just missed out on one of the events that gives you a 4* wengine that has cr

such a good f2p option for dps'

not sure if you can still get it cause the event ended a few weeks ago

I guess the play is just pick out which characters look cool to you then you can start teambuilding

[flat galleon]

me but they all look cool though

[long tapir]

real

[past ibex]

coolest

Lmao what are these release times

Ig they didn't want to clash with hsr

[lavish coral]

Ok I can’t fall asleep ima just thug it out for astra yao 💀

[past ibex]

it's worth she's like the only limited 5* support right now

unfortunate you missed out on miyabi

[lavish coral]

not my type

[past ibex]

oh fr then that's fine

she's kinda the only overtuned dps rn

but everyone else is perfectly fine

inferno metal is probably the right disc set for evelyn right

[viscid elm]

If it says 3/3 on the top right, it's good enough for me

[viscid elm]

W take, people get so caught up in the meta and the tiering that they forget the most important things in gacha

I mean yeah the majority of players don't care about endgame

im ngl am i cooked

do I really have to play for 12hrs straight to get astra

[past ibex]

if you want to kermit

then yes

if not then uh

just vibe

[lavish coral]

im ngl this game is amazing tho fr

[past ibex]

it has been very great

[lavish coral]

feels like i paid to play this game

[past ibex]

especially since the 1.4 update

budget is just insane

[lavish coral]

its so polished and nice

its one of my favorite genres

can't believe i didnt start sooner

[past ibex]

it had pretty bad press when it first started

a lot of people were really down on the game

but we stuck through 😤

[past ibex]

welp i lost to lingyang but i had enough

grinding for weapon time

[hazy seal]

Okay

I am at 49 pity

What are the chances

No guarantee btw

[past ibex]

easy win

i wasn't planning to get her but her gameplay is fun and her animations are sick

also i gave up trying to hoard i'm greedy and impulsive in this game

[hazy seal]

I have to get her

So I can laugh at people

And I have a 2nd copy of Yinlin's weapon so all works

And yet I can't clear hazard tower wtf

[past ibex]

gg git good

I want her weapon cause it looks nice

that's about it

the side towers are honestly really easy so i just need to worry about the middle

[hazy seal]

Just the middle

I am always this hecking close even with a perfect rotation

Idk man

Everyone is maxed lv in every sense

[past ibex]

for jinhsi it's literally crit or don't crit

if you don't crit the run is cooked

had to retry a couple of times to get my crit

76% btw

[hazy seal]

Same

Even Yinlin is capped

Maybe I'll try with Shorekeeper

[past ibex]

verina rotations just a lot more smoother with jinhsi

plus the coordinated attacks

[hazy seal]

Its a whack

A train wreck

Her forte is only capped from 2nd rotation onwards

[past ibex]

don't you have zhezhi as well?

[hazy seal]

Nope

Why would I pull nerdge

Time to test out new havoc sp

Pretty sure I don't even have enuf to lv her echo

And then I have to rebuild Yinlin on new set prolly

[past ibex]

idk you usually pull all women

but yeah if your stuff are fully built it should be doable

[hazy seal]

To me, all crits = built

Aint all that fussy about perfect substats

My min max is selective

[past ibex]

if all your crits are built that's fine enough

min max the high rolls are just if you have nothing left to do like me

[hazy seal]

My yinlin has a 1 cost with 3 dead stat lmao

I just ran with the crit

[past ibex]

on moonlit?

wuwa is the one game where you can get away with bad stats as long as you play well

[hazy seal]

Electro

[past ibex]

owh

if you're running her as main dps that's fine

[hazy seal]

Everyone is built like a main dps

Wdym

[past ibex]

i mean she's most optimally played as a sub dps

where you would use moonlit

and not electro set

[hazy seal]

Game is rec the new set lmao

Just need to grind to get Pheeb

[past ibex]

oh right they introduced that set

looks pretty darn good for her

guess that's the zhezhi/yinlin support set

coordinated attacks

and gives you the same er from moonlit

both should be pretty fine

[past ibex]

whimpering wastes gives a ton of astrites

the new event

[hazy seal]

We'll see We'll see

I also need to grind zzz

[past ibex]

ewehlin

[hazy seal]

Trust

Cookie run kingdom is simpler when I am able to grab the 0.3% just like that

[lavish coral]

ZZZ is a grind game fr

I could dangerously sink so many hours into it

[viscid elm]

Ironic because the dailies take like 1-2 minutes

[past ibex]

damn how you run out

[rigid island]

spamming evelyn upgrades

miyabi upgrades wiped me out from like 2m

[hazy seal]

Its quite easy to run out when you start leveling stuff

[past ibex]

I think it's more like he doesn't play the game as often

so he doesn't accrue resources over time

[rigid island]

basically

i have a habit of speedrunning everything when a patch drops then just coast along doing dailies

[past ibex]

you still have all your energy reserves at least right?

[rigid island]

yeah like 70 batteries and 2k or so fromthe backup thing

i need to buy a phone controller grip thing so i can play from my phone, screen controls are ass

[hazy seal]

I run out of dennies whenever I tried to build char lmao

[past ibex]

damn

i still have millions

[hazy seal]

Everything costs 6 digits

[past ibex]

i mean yeah it's expensive but after playing this long i have a lot of dennys

same with wuwa

only time i ever ran out of money was cause i stopped playing for awhile

[lavish coral]

3.1 stream was kinda…

anyways back to sleep

[rigid island]

yeah just to get an engine from level 40 to 41 is 400k

disc to level 15 is like 80k

[past ibex]

Yeah I get why people said there wasn't a lot, I also think they're just saving the stuff for 3.2 cause anni

[hazy seal]

Isn't that fine for people who are drained?

Definitely not me

Also, wasn't it rumoured to be Luocha instead of Huo2?

[past ibex]

Yes

[past ibex]

Yeah it's just a lot of people seem to be complaining

The last 3 patches have felt kinda barren

[flat galleon]

barren patch when we just had such a big 3.0 patch

people be complaining all the time

still haven't finished 3.0 trailblaze quest

[past ibex]

Tbf I think 3.0 was big in the sense that the story was long and exploration

But the events were very short

Also idk why they just abandoned companion quests

I guess it's cause we just have really long main quests now

But it is nice to get alone time with certain characters

[hazy seal]

I think DU patch are emptier than usual because that is the event

You just don't get any festive celebration lmao

[past ibex]

People were also talking about the quality of events but there have been literally only 3 events I actually enjoyed which were aetherium wars, foxian tales, and room decor

Guess we need more combat related events

That's a good start

I hate to admit I really love haru and Anby is just sitting there

[past ibex]

Hes very fun to play

I mean you can have two electric teams if you want

Like the last deadly assault game mode had like ice weakness for two of the three bosses

[hazy seal]

Anby is usually paired with him

[past ibex]

Qingyi on banner rn pull pulll

[rigid island]

i gotta get discs and stuff for my qingyi

since im doing zhuyuan - qingyi - astra for ether team, then evelyn - qingyi - astra for fire

shouldnt have skipped a patch since now im cucked without yanagi or lighter

[past ibex]

no koleda? she should suffice for eve for now

[rigid island]

havent leveled her much and im not a fan of her kit anyway

[past ibex]

ah ic

yanagi not super necessary for miyabi

is her best teammate, but miyabi is so op you can kinda just

run her with anything

[rigid island]

i dont like soukaku either so yeah i just run miyabi with astra and zhu yuan

bruteforce basically

[past ibex]

lmfao

the only sad part about qingyi for eve is that a lot of times if they're electric weak, they're fire immune and vice versa

if not then it'd be perfectly fine

[rigid island]

oh lol thats rough

i havent actually done any story content with that team yet lol just material grinding

[past ibex]

all of this stuff is really important for endgame modes only btw

in story and everything else you can literally run anything you want

[rigid island]

pretty much yeah

probably explains why ive stayed away from endgame stuff as i get my shit kicked in

[past ibex]

yeah it requires a bit of committment to team building, ability levels, and disk farming

[hazy seal]

What an easy abyss

[lavish coral]

yeah nah PF is legit impossible to 60k for me

25k + 25k

im literally done

[long tapir]

what teams?

[lavish coral]

too many to mention

i have no strong erudition + nothing I can brute force with raw stats

[long tapir]

painful 😔

not even himeko herta?

you dont need element matching if u have those 2

[lavish coral]

himeko herta robin aventurine

25k

[long tapir]

thats...

theres something wrong somewhere

cause that team full clears 95% of the time

although they did add a tanky-ish boss at the end of PF this cycle

[past ibex]

don't you have jingyuan?

i rmb seeing that

[lavish coral]

ye i do

[past ibex]

jingyuan sunday robin was a pretty popular clear

[lavish coral]

there are times in the first half where his 10 stack LL doesnt even kill one of the stone mobs lol

with full buffs + robin

I look at other ppl's builds they either got s1 on jingyuan or sunday or robin

like what

this pancake lc sucks tbh

[past ibex]

god damn

what's his build like

you have acheron too no?

[past ibex]

you can even try serval too if you want lmao

i've seen like 36k clears with her

[past ibex]

We should be getting stuff for 3.2 beta tmr I think

We still have no idea what castorice does lol

[hazy seal]

She does damage

Trust

[past ibex]

I swear I've seen more leaks of her buffing teammates than dmg

[past ibex]

https://youtu.be/2-bTYRNIp-A?si=sJGi-t-t90DvV4PJ actually a lot of pretty insane clears out there lmao

ignore the 2nd half but the 1st half is very attainable

feixiao small herta is good enough for like 29k at least though

with e0 robin even

[lavish coral]

these dev server minions and their runs

so many unrelatable things

160+ speed mfs

Im just gonna list a lot of red flags for a f2p with limited resources bc wtf did i just see

• Acheron (Good)
• Remembrance MC (169 Speed & its gonna take me 2 weeks to build her im planning tomorrow anyways)
• Pela (155 speed S5 pearls)
• March 7th (This is just not even worth the time investment for one pure fiction that im probably gonna clear next patch)

I could go on for 2nd but ima ignore it

[past ibex]

160 speed is not hard to get on rmc

you run double speed set on em

pela can be just 134+ speed cause she's running wind set

and you can run aventurine over march

march is literally just budget aventurine

[lavish coral]

i will come back in 2 weeks with rmc ig

fun game

[past ibex]

idk man this game is literally just a matter of building your units well

[lavish coral]

wym isnt this obvious

like i aint disagreeing w u

but like this is just so funny to me

[past ibex]

you just seem very disgruntled that you have to get better relics

[lavish coral]

yea i mean who wants to keep grinding relics is that a bad thing

[past ibex]

but it's like the whole point of logging in to play everyday lol

besides team building what is there to do in hsr

at least to me that's the whole fun in hsr, experimenting with comps and builds

it goes back to the whole powercreep discourse where i feel like people find it frustrating that their characters don't one shot everything anymore

[lavish coral]

damn...thats kinda oof

[past ibex]

and i don't really mean that in a bad way

hsr has always been meant to be a side game

you login, relic dailies autobattle and get out

that's what i meant that there's nothing to do but farm relics

[lavish coral]

do u think it exists

[past ibex]

Oh for sure

I just believe it's a bit exaggerated

Like my jingliu definitely feels weak and she used to be my strongest unit

But people also like to shit on dot a lot but I've been using the comp since that beginning with no issues

[lavish coral]

therefore am i not allowed to express my discontent then ??

anyways ur right

[past ibex]

I don't know how to word this nicely at all

[lavish coral]

tell me straight i have thick skin

rather than some bs

[past ibex]

People should just stop expecting the game to be cleared with minimal effort, it takes time to get better relics of course but that is a core part of this game

And if you hate that then you're really not gonna enjoy this game if you put a lot of emphasis on the endgame content

Like back in 1.x, the gameplay was just my jingliu either one shots the boss or the boss one shots me

It felt super one dimensional and now I feel like I actually have ways to play around it

But now it seems a lot of the community feels more discontent when I feel that the gameplay is way better now

[lavish coral]

wait lmao this isnt even harsh of a take

"word nicely" this wasnt even needed

😭

[past ibex]

Oh I could've just said if you don't want to farm relics why play the game or attempt endgame content

But that's a but disingenuous

[lavish coral]

yeah bc

i legit farm almost everyday

luck is a factor and time as well

[past ibex]

Surely you got a lotta relic remains and useless relics sitting around

[past ibex]

Oh yeah for sure

A lot of my speed sets I legit dumped thousands of relic remains to craft them

[lavish coral]

yeah theres something big you dont know about me

[past ibex]

You'd be surprised to see how much you have when you go through your inventory

A lot of useless relics just sitting around

It's a commitment ik

But it's the fun part about the game

Team building and farming

[lavish coral]

so salvage the useless ones

for crafting?

[past ibex]

Yea

I ended up with like

20k+ relic remains when I finished

That's like 200 relics you can craft

And your rng is not bad enough

That you get nth from that

I think the difficult part about hsr is that it's supposed to be a side game but I think you do need to put a decent amount of effort to clear endgame

[lavish coral]

heres the thing right

[past ibex]

But the whole point about endgame is to get sweaty and tryhard

[lavish coral]

I can still be like "i dont wanna do this" but still do it bc I have to and thats fine do u agree

[past ibex]

Oh for sure, I guess I just misread it as me trying to help but you not being happy about it, my bad

[lavish coral]

cool cool

also

yes ur video did provide some value I tried to mention with rmc

[past ibex]

Rmc is a broken unit people really gotta use it more

It's hella fun too

An underrated part about this game is how useful the free and 4* units are

Gallagher is still one of the best healers, march is just as good as topaz, pela is better than sw (tho sw is dog so ig not a highbar), and then there's rmc and hmc

[lavish coral]

yea dw I always appreciate u looking out to help

[past ibex]

I can agree with that, this sums up how it used to be back then

And I appreciate that I actually have more ways to interact with the game

Instead of it just being a dps check

Contrary to popular belief

While I also still 100% agree with people who think units like jingliu blade sw sparkle need serious buffs

[lavish coral]

also btw, the only issue is inconsistency w PF 😭

all other modes r fine mostly

like I dont do minimal investment

I try to strike a balance between abundant resources for future patches and good teams

and on top of that f2p so I got too greedy

You don't have the herta or jade so kinda understandable, but I think you can make it work with what you have

Pf units are not a must in this game

Definitely makes life super easy

But if you don't like them its not worth it

You've done great with roster building you have better stuff than me

And you have Robin now so there really isn't anyone else you need besides jiaoqiu I guess

But my friend makes acheron work without him so maybe not super necessary either
