Entanglement imminent.
So Qingque and Sushang are of the long-lived humans. Sushang's mom is 500 years old, and Qingque has been working for at least a decade and looks like a teenager.
Sushang's bio says she looks about 16 or 17 (or at least the equivalent thereof), but who knows how old she actually is.
hollow sapphire
I'm sure there's some sort of math formula for it
I think some fans have extrapolated Yukong's age in human years the same way
agile basin
Do long lived humans age slowly, or do they reach adulthood and middle age normally, and then just stay there until mara strikes?
agile basin
I think some fans have extrapolated Yukong's age in human years the same way
Gotcha. Though Yukong doesn't look 50-ish (Foxians might just stay looking 30 - 40 for a long time).
hollow sapphire
I keep thinking Yukong is like at grandma-level age
as far as we've seen, we haven't seen many geezer-type long-lived types
agile basin
True. 50s or 60s. 240 out of 300.
hollow sapphire
Yukong only has a few grey hairs to show for it
agile basin
I want to look like her at her age.
hollow sapphire
in anime, anything is possible
Tingyun has a picture of her as a kid in Yukong's splash art, and I think her "current" age is like 40-something but she's like young adult
somehow I feel like Mara is a metaphor for old age/death
agile basin
I think Yukong says she's known Tingyun for 30 years?
hollow sapphire
so that means there's 30 years of life between Ting's baby and young adult (present day) years
let's add in a few years to account for her infancy
I'd put her at like, a few years of work experience?
I assume she's had her merchant gig for a few decades (which technically counts as mere years in Foxian age)
she also said in one quest that she doesn't wanna die soon because she's still got so much left to live for
agile basin
It would make sense that Tingyun's been working for a bit (like you said, a couple decades minimum). Hoyo is really iffy about putting actual ages on their characters.
Serval and Cocolia also have that "done so much in so few years" thing going on.
hollow sapphire
imagine if they hired Ashikai for the lore writing
I'm willing to lend a bit more credence to the Servall/Cocolia thing because they seem to be friends since college
although that does make me wonder how many years it was since their school years together and Coco's rise to power as Belobog's guardian
it seemed like a very long, arduous relationship decay
agile basin
Jenn is going through the Belobog story, and I had forgotten that there was a scene with teenage Cocolia || hearing and starting to be tempted by the Stellaron.||
hollow sapphire
I love how ||Coco's corruption|| plays such a huge role in subsequent events
the decision to lie to everyone at the end of the Belobog arc also has ||negative consequences for Serval, who now believes that the same bitch who ruined her life was the same one who selflessly sacrificed herself for Belobog||
I'm assuming we'll be returning to Belobog at some point in the future when the ||lie starts to fall apart,|| and I'd be really curious to see ||Serval's reaction to the truth then||, especially after her Story Quest
agile basin
||Yeah, Serval not being able to be at the big fight means she never directly saw Cocolia's corruption.||
hollow sapphire
||she's a really good reminder of the consequences brought about by the false peace||
agile basin
My guess to ||Serval's reaction to the truth: "... Okay, I changed my mind. Astral Express, please."||
hollow sapphire
"screw you guys, I'm going to space."

The Swarm Disaster gets much easier as you progress in the skill tree

Cocolia kicked my ass, but I didn't have my prefered setup.
My normal skill tree (standard SU) is maxed out, but I have only tried a few Swarm attempts.

an advised setup would be one healer+one shielder/defense option
the final boss hits HARD, so you want to minimize damage
you can also mix and match Resonances, which will give you an edge in combat

Lynx feels excellent
having a Cleanse on her Ult makes fighting against enemy DoT so much more manageable
just a shame I feel like she powercreeps Nat
although she is due for a break after months of carrying my teams
I'll just say she's due a well-earned vacation
agile basin
Also, Lynx does not use ATK at all. Her Basic scales off Max HP.
I haven't measured the actual healing values of their skills and Ultimate, though Natasha charges quicker (90 Max vs Lynx's 100 Max Energy).
hollow sapphire
Nat's Cleanse is attached to her Skill, which can be handier in some situations
Lynx's Ult purges for the entire team, so it's more integral to her kit and would require some extra Energy Regen
Also, Lynx's Talent lets her Skill and Ult provide regen for everyone she heals, so she's a mini-Bailu in that sense
I honestly left her Basics alone, didn't really feel like they contributed that much to team DPS
Her Skill applying Taunt to Preservation/Destruction units also adds more utility to her teams (not to mention it also boosts max HP)
Loathe as I am to admit it, I feel the only upside Nat's got in this comparison is Skill Cleanse and slightly lower Ult cost
(And mommy factor, which is admittedly a huge plus in her favor)

Wow, rude

Curious that she's a 5โ
, she doesn't strike me as one.
lean solar
Ngl I read her name as hutao for a second when i saw the drip
agile basin
Watch her outheal Luocha and Bailu.
hollow sapphire
I wonder how she'll measure up to the Healers we already have
Luocha doesn't have the best raw healing output, just the most proactive one
Also helps that he has an auto-heal and 70% Effect Res
Huohuo's gonna be measured up against him when she releases
Tough act to follow
chrome mountain
Oh she's a healer???
hollow sapphire
The Abundance icon on the lower left seems to indicate so
chrome mountain
I still can't remember which icon is which.
hollow sapphire
There are two icons above her name
chrome mountain
Yes, yes. I'm saying I can't remember which icon is Preservation, etc.

Does anyone know how tf to beat simulated universe cocolia
I still can't beat her because of her random moves on the final phase
agile basin
World 6 or Swarm Universe?
lean solar
What's swarm
chrome mountain
New Simulated Universe mode. You have to complete a quest to unlock it, I think.
lean solar
Oh is that random quest herta made me do thats confusing
I did it earlier but I didn't finish it
And I'm stuck on world 6
chrome mountain
Are you able to eliminate Bronya before the last phase?
lean solar
I got the bronya part down in just stuck on phase 3
Where she randomly spams her ice bullshit on u
chrome mountain
What's your team comp?
lean solar
Mostly using stelle asta himeko and nat helped me to get there
chrome mountain
Fire Stelle, or Physical?
lean solar
Fire
chrome mountain
Good
The team comp I used when I first beat World 6 was I think... Fire TB, Natasha, Seele, and Serval. Do you have any QUA chars built?
Oh - probably worth nothing that I used the Hunt Path.
Helps to keep ahead of her ice spamming if you're faster, after all.
agile basin
I went Destruction with a bit of Preservation.
lean solar
What's qua
chrome mountain
Quantum. QUA is the Honkai 3rd abbreviation that I have a bad habit of using.
lean solar

agile basin
IMG is Imaginary in HI3, and I use that too.
For example, Yukong is IMG, meaning 240-year old Foxian OWILDs are not real, and she inflicts Imprison on Break.

Have they revealed the ENG VA for Huohuo yet?
Seeing that they did for Argenti I'd assume they have

inb4 the tail's VA is revealed too
chrome mountain
They're listed together in the same manner as Fischl and Oz are
hollow sapphire
Adam as in the Argenti voice also voices the tail?
chrome mountain
Guess so.
hollow sapphire
Huh
Gonna be thrown for a loop if his two characters appear in the same cutscene
agile basin
Physical Erudition huh?
lean solar
Yeah they always reveal the vas with the drip
Unlike genshin where u have to wait until the Livestream 99% of the time
hollow sapphire
I'm surprised a Knight of Beauty follows Erudition
Always thought the Knights were more Harmony
lean solar
I didn't even realize molly had a discord so I joined it
agile basin
Oh hey, a Erudition/Hunt assignment on this event! You know what that means?
I steal a Seele, and Seele-havers can steal a Himeko.
hollow sapphire
I saw one of the Assignments was a Preservation-requiring one
agile basin
Time for March to do some work.
hollow sapphire
Then I opened my Supports and laughed my ass off when I saw that none of my Support Buddies had any Preservation units on standby
agile basin
I saw a lot of Fu Xuans.
hollow sapphire
Although that does say more about me and what I look for in Supports...
I have like one Fu Xuan buddy on my list
And even then they were only a recent conversion who very well may switch when a new unit rolls around
hollow sapphire
Coffee Queen is eternal
it's telling that there's a significant amount of people who put her on their page loud and proud
agile basin
Yes.
hollow sapphire
and it ain't because she's some S-tier meta pick

either that or they ||played Honkai Impact 3rd|| and are trying their best to recoup their sanity

I love how there's an actual achievement for playing as the Express Crew in the Team Setup

I love how there's an actual achievement for playing as the Express Crew in the ...
Wait what?
hollow sapphire
get Welt, March, Dan Heng and Himeko in the same team, play 1 battle and you get an achi
or was it Trailblazer
in any case, it was some variation of the Express Crew
I got it pretty early because I had Welt and used a Support Himeko

lol I haven't developed March or Dan Heng much so I never thought to try
Thanks for the info. One Big Happy Family.

Whenever she gets permanently added

I wonder if she'll be run with Huohuo, or with Argenti. If with Huohuo... I may pull. (If I have anything left after Jingliu.)
(I may just pull for Huohuo on general principle, because healer. But only if a certain someone else hasn't been dripped by then...)

chrome mountain
Android lady that Dan Heng, Sushang, and Luocha run into during the Trailblaze Mission.
lean solar
Are those purple quests I never done because I think there the starail version of hangouts
chrome mountain
No, Trailblaze is the MSQ.
lean solar
The random test messages?

Purple are companion missions. Blue are side missions.
Yellow are the Main Story Quests
I am stuck on "Intermission". That one is tough.

I finally won a 50-50!
And now I can officially make a Quantum Team without support (I am missing only Seele).

chrome mountain
lean solar
I think my luck transfer to rime since I won tao for once
After too many fucking L's and getting cursed
agile basin
I kept losing the 50-50 on the banners.
hollow sapphire
Who might be the lucky standard 5* in your case?
agile basin
Himeko and Clara
hollow sapphire
Both are good, thankfully
agile basin
Himeko on Silver Wolf, Clara on Kafka
hollow sapphire
Clara: "Bleed them, Mr. Svarog!"
Somehow I feel like the universe missed a chance to do a funny by giving you Hime on Kafka's banner
agile basin
So that's why I have an E1 Himeko.
hollow sapphire
The power difference between standard 5 star Eidolons and limited 5 star Eidos are absurd
agile basin
I would have been relatively okay with another Himeko during Kafka.
But yeah, I don't expect to get past E0 on the limited banners.
agile basin
Tom posted art of Himeko angry that she got Clara instead of Kafka. So... literally me.
hollow sapphire
What's weird about Kafka is that she's a 5-star that requires you to have well-built DoT teammates
And I love how it feels like she's a conductor of an orchestra who's only as good as the instruments in her entourage
It feels very in-character
agile basin
Ah, memories.
chrome mountain
Thanks, that would have taken me a while to find.
lean solar
Claras my only 5 star with a con
chrome mountain
Mine is E1 Welt.
hollow sapphire
Got no dupes so far
chrome mountain
Neither one came from a limited banner, though. One from Starter Beginner and one from standard.
hollow sapphire
I was lucky enough to get Welt from the Beginner Banner and his LC from standard banner
chrome mountain
Meanwhile my only 50-50 loss has been to Yanqing.
hollow sapphire
Ah yes
chrome mountain
Beginner, right.
hollow sapphire
Jing Liu at home
chrome mountain
I'm still hoping for the real deal, but like Rime I'll have to win the 50-50.
hollow sapphire
If the next Story Quest has you fight Yanqing again I will be very amused
Even better, fight him with Yanqing on your team
chrome mountain
That would require me to finish building him. 
chrome mountain
My builds in progress, ordered in approximate priority:
5โ
: Kafka, Fu Xuan, Silver Wolf, Clara, Yanqing
4โ
: Sampo, Asta, March 7th
And that's just getting thm and their LCs to 80. Traces are a longer-term project.
Of those, only Clara and Sampo already have sufficient boss drops that I could level them up now.
hollow sapphire
My builds in progress:
5-star: Whoever can be used with Kafka
4-star: See above
That's it, really
Traces take a huge toll on your Credits
You start spending a few hundred thousand on the later Traces
chrome mountain
Which is why those later Traces aren't a priority for me. My current goal for all chars is 6/8/8/8, though no one is anywhere near that yet.
hollow sapphire
You're gonna be farming Calyxes for a while
Thankfully they're quite generous with Tracks of Destiny, though I'd rarely wander into that territory to begin with
chrome mountain
Oh yeah, Tracks and Echo drops are not going to be a problem. Those Trace mats, though...
agile basin
Yeah, Trace farming is ouch.

And I thought Kafka said she was good at creating fear.

Himeko's turn again! /jk

ok so it is real i had to double check
everyone kept reposting this so i assumed it was a leak but its on hoyolab
agile basin
So we're gonna Dragon Quest Monsters it up?
lean solar
agile basin
I am trying to recall if Natasha says anything about Himeko. I don't think she does, sadly.
Pom-Pom walks into the engine room one day and yells at Himeko and Serval for making out under the machinery. Something about "exceeding the engine's heat threshold" or whatnot.
paper aurora
I decided that the next character I want in HSR is Seele.
agile basin
Jenn just got Fu Xuan and Lynx in her last 10 pull! So now she gets to save up for Jingliu.

Topaz and Himeko start hitting it off on the 1.4 video and Owlbert tells them to get a room. Himeko has a harem confirmed.
agile basin
You want Himeko's harem or to be part of Himeko's harem?
Some may complain that Himeko should focus only on one lady, but I say that Himeko has two arms and two legs.
lean solar

agile basin
I forgot... what time is it again?
Asta: "Time to get vigilant!"
Trailblazer: "Time to go on the offensive!"
Yukong: "The time is now. We mustn't delay!"
Qingque: "Time for the payout!"
Pela: "Netmarkers activated... Time for a good old counterattack!"
Time for the main event/detailed overhaul/to say bye.
I want one character to just say "The time is [actual time on clock in your zonetime]."
Remember that if you use Natasha's basic attack as soon her turn comes up... sometimes she'll combine voice lines into "Naughty Naptime!"
lean solar
All in one day
But idk what light cone is recommended for her since i didn't pull for hers
agile basin
Nice work on Kafka. I put Fermata on her because I really don't know what else works well with her.
Fermata actually works better with Sampo, funny enough.
hollow sapphire
Fermata is super solid on her, especially high Refinements
And Nihility Cones are just weird to begin with
agile basin
I've heard Good Night (Pela's Lightcone) is the best for Kafka, but I've given that to Pela and I don't have a better option for her.
Nihility is just weird in general, as you actually have two distinct types of Nihility characters.
hollow sapphire
I've been starving for good Cones for that Path
And they release so many damn Nihility characters too
agile basin
All elements covered as of 1.4 part 2.
hollow sapphire
The playable roster has no shortage of doomsayers, apparently
Wonder which part of Gui's lore is gonna be highlighted as Nihility
agile basin
I still don't get Pela's Nihility.
hollow sapphire
||Backstory,|| I guess?
But if we go by that metric, that'll apply to way more people

I think there is one spot where you can be kind of mean to Serval, but that's it.
I think she asks you if you missed her, and you can tell her "Nah". Which I didn't do, because how dare we be mean to Serval!
hollow sapphire
I honestly think it's more meaningful when there is a douche option beside the nice one
So that choosing to be good is an actual choice you can make
agile basin
Makes sense. Except for Himeko, because she'll kick you off the express.
hollow sapphire
I love how you can technically speedrun the game if you choose particular dialogue options with her at Herta Space Station
They actually went all the way with the bit
I love Kafka interactions precisely because you can roleplay how the Trailblazer feels about her
Hell, you can ||skip her quest entirely|| if you so choose
agile basin
Concerning Kafka, ||I played her game properly, but I ultimately was mean to her.||
hollow sapphire
I kept ||taking the piss outta her during that part of the quest||
Then when it ||actually gave me the choice to leave, I stayed for her||
Basically, I ||RP as a tsundere||
In text messages, my Stelle is just a full-on simp
Or a prick depending on the person on the other end
agile basin
I tried to ||get KO'd by soldiers to see if it would affect the outcome. "You should have no problems beating them" she said.||
hollow sapphire
I really thought ||those would have branching paths||
Still not sure honestly
I do find it funny that in ||her "Truth and Lies" game, you can pretty much learn everything by booting up a YT video which catalogs all the options||
Frankly, I enjoyed looking through ||all the paths I missed and piecing together who Kafka was from all the truths she can say||
agile basin
I ultimately told her ||I want to see her again (Lie).||
hollow sapphire
I did a little mischief
||Wanted to see her again, but said truth twice and never lied||
||She sees through it,|| but I stand by that choice
agile basin
||For what it's worth, it looked like she was sightly disappointed I answered how I did. Sorry Kafka, I am part of Himeko's harem now.||
hollow sapphire
||Kafka is the biological mom who went out to get Puffergoat Milk||
||Hime is the adoptive parent who stays at home and brews you hideous coffee on the reg out of love for her kids||
