I haven't fully leveled her Traces yet and she's already hitting harder than Truck-kun on an S2 Good Night Light Cone
those Arcana Stacks HURT
agile basin
I am seeing her set off 20k Arcana bursts
hollow sapphire
bring her to Sim Universe and you can get into situations where she maxes out Arcana stacks
it is fucking beautiful
chrome mountain
Imagine being able to max out Traces... 😅
agile basin
Funny thing is she's the first Nihility character I have maxed.
Where most of my other Nihility characters are running somewhere around 5/8/8/8.
7s or 8s.
agile basin
bring her to Sim Universe and you can get into situations where she maxes out Ar...
"840% ATK DoT ignoring DEF? Don't mind if I do."
Ignoring all the other Nihility buffs.
And ignoring how Kafka and (situationally) Guinaifen can set off that damage
Oh yeah, Arcana can't be dispelled, so Enemy Bronya can't undo all your hard work.
hollow sapphire
man when are we getting the Enemy Bronya dispel ability
I want my Bronya to wipe every single debuff on Skill too
hollow sapphire
"840% ATK DoT ignoring DEF? Don't mind if I do."
the fact that Arcana deals AoE damage too
she's Nihility mixed with a bit of Erudition
funnily enough, part of the problem with her is that DoTs kill most enemies TOO quickly, and Arcana's AoE doesn't proc as a result

So, the other day, I changed my Express coach music to ||"If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking", because apparently I enjoy pain 😭||
hollow sapphire
I changed it to the Golden Hour theme because the side quests hit me the hardest
The OST hits different after finishing the side content
agile basin
I have a lot of songs to upload to the Express. I still have Argenti's battle theme playing.
chrome mountain
This damn Cavern... bad enough that it's the stupid sexy Aurumaton, but I'm getting 9/10 Grand Duke pieces, when I want the Prisoner set for Black Swan. 
agile basin
I could use a more optimal piece or two.
Just for additional EHR. But at the same time, the Headpiece I have has 2 Speed and a good DEF%, and I willingly sacrifice power for some speed and durability.
hollow sapphire
I've been farming Prisoner for about two months now
It's muscle memory at this point
But now I gotta switch over to the Pioneer Domain
agile basin
I think I only have one resin right now and I am scared to use it.
hollow sapphire
That's surprisingly good pieces for a Resin roll
Good substats on both pieces, ESPECIALLY the EHR one
I have 8 Resins in stock but I'll save them for emergencies
chrome mountain
Now I have to decide between Wind DMG and ATK for the sphere - I have both.
How cute... it counts how many rolls go into substats for you.
agile basin
At 120 EHR, she gets +72% Wind DMG for what it's worth, due to her A5 trace.
I have +ATK on body, maybe I should shift to EHR.
chrome mountain
I can't even get her to 100% EHR. 😞
agile basin
Ah. What is her Lightcone?
chrome mountain
It's Showtime
Is there a better 4★ choice?
Besides Sampo's...
Better, I guess.
Scampo didn't need it anyway, so.
agile basin
True. I don't know of a better or useful option that's not Eyes of the Prey
chrome mountain
Still need to do a lot of Trace farming, obviously. But even if I unlock her EHR stat boosts, she still won't reach 120 EHR unless I farm for better Relics.
agile basin
Oh hey, yours is faster.
chrome mountain
I got a lot of SPD rolls on that EHR body 😅
hollow sapphire
I'm still so envious of S5 Sampo Cone havers
y'all got your EHR needs covered as hell
it's like her 2nd best Cone too
it's up there with S5 Memories of the Past for my wishlisted 4-star Cones right now
chrome mountain
Blame the game for giving me so many pulling for Jingliu's Cone. I still have 4 of them left over... 🤣
hollow sapphire
I hope there'll be more units who can weaponize EHR
game loves giving me that stat
agile basin
I got two or three of them just by rolling for Swan.
hollow sapphire
I have S2 Good Night Sleep Well on her
I'm probably swapping it out for the F2P Nihility Cone once I get enough Light Cone Fragment thingies
agile basin
The only problem I have now is that... I don't have a lightcone for Acheron. Don't know what she will need, but I've used up all my 4☆/5☆ Nihility cones.
hollow sapphire
if we're going off what's generally good for Nihility, Good Night is probably up there
that Cone works on both DoT users and standard Nihility DPSes
agile basin
Just have to give Pela something else.
hollow sapphire
my Pela has the Tutorial Light Cone
and will probably keep using that Cone until the heat death of the universe
agile basin
And I failwon into Welt's Lightcone ("failed" on Ruan Mei's LC)
hollow sapphire
I have 600 Stardust thingies so I can buy a Welt Cone if all else fails
chrome mountain
I'm pulling for Acheron's 5★ Cone, no regrets. I'm up to 240 warps - I need only 90 or so more for a guarantee of both.
hollow sapphire
I'm probably gunning for Gallagher too, so here's hoping he's on Acheron's banner
if not, I'm not gonna complain if I lose to Aventurine
I need another Sustain anyway
agile basin
I forgot I have Bailu, so I technically have three healers, but Gallagher will allow me to make a durable Fire Team.
hollow sapphire
more importantly, I will finally have a character with FACIAL HAIR on the team
Aha knows why there's so little of those on the playable roster
fingers crossed we get someone with a full-ass beard in the future
agile basin
The first character with The Full Wizard Beard needs to be Preservation or Abundance.
hollow sapphire
Gandalf the Shield
Gandalf the Heal
either that or make him an overpowered Destruction DPS
agile basin
The Beard of Overflowing Abundance. Or the Everlasting Beard of Preservation.
Preservation sounds good. "YOU SHALL NOT PASS"
hollow sapphire
"You Shall Not Pass" is an Ultimate that straight up grants team-wide damage immunity
and gives a damage boost if you're fighting an enemy wielding a fire whip
agile basin
Nihility + Propagation is a silly combo in Swarm Disaster. Basic attacks trigger 40% of DoT damage. So you get mini-Kafka skills at no SP cost.

I would say that they give free pulls more often than Genshin. Beyond that... idk, feels about the same.
oblique root
I feel like hsr is more generous with jades than genshin is with primos but I dont know if that's true
agile basin
They did give 10 free pulls on top of the usual "10 over seven days"
So, every week, you can get 220 jade and one Standard pull from Simulated Universe.
At Rank 70 and Equilibrium Level 6 I mean.
Up to 720 Jade every two weeks with Memory of Chaos or Pure Fiction.
60 Jade per day via dailies.
Not counting anything from events and such.

Good for now. You'll swap in and out, and level up more characters as needed.
I think the main issue you might run into is speed. Clara wants to be hit for her optimal damage, Black Swan wants to build up arcane stacks (though enemies going before her isn't a huge deal), and I have no idea how Misha's kit works.
It's not a huge deal until much later though. Something like TB Rank 60 or so.
Just make sure you have some other characters leveled as you go.

Fair. Nihility resonance might be enough. Otherwise? I'd swap out TB for either Black Swan or even Guinaifen.
chrome mountain
Gui isn't built yet, unfortunately. I'll swap Swan in and see how it goes.
agile basin
I tend to go all-in on the DoT plan when including Kafka (if I need Lightning damage by itself, I often use Serval).
But Nihility Resonance might be all the additional DoTs you need.

I'm disappointed, though, that I haven't gotten the Suspicion Blessing this round.

there's so many things we don't have explanations for yet

I think one of these times, they should ||just say "The End", to really mess with people.||

I think the few times they do that are the fake ending in the beginning

I have a theory that (big ass spoilers) ||We're still stuck in the dreamscape from when we approached Penacony, and Acheron is the only "real" person in this dreamscape -- we're dreaming of the other characters rather than the other characters sharing the dream.||
agile basin
knowing ||Acheron||, that file name is completely on brand
||Also, Allegra delivers this line with such venom and a bit of sarcasm that you know you are approaching Serious Levels of Danger.||

They're not gonna mix it up on us by putting Aventurine first, right?
lean solar

Well... Acheron was dripped first, before Aventurine and Gallagher. If we take Black Swan being dripped before Sparkle as gospel, then I'd say it's likely Acheron will be up first.

And that's why I'm ready just in case hoyo announces her first

Swan keeps her on a leash so she doesn't get lost. And for no other reasons.
So, going through the stickerbook, I made a choice (maybe spoilers for 2.0):
||Basically, you are asked if you most trust Acheron, Black Swan, or Neither.||

||Similar to how the HI3 board went, are we going to turn this into " Team Acheron or Team Swan"?||

Special character banners all share pity between character banners. Special light cone banners share pity between light cone banners. And standard banner has no pity and doesn't affect pity at all.

I just thought of something really dark. If we leave the planets solar system to head to a new planet within a different solar system on the express, according to time and space logic, wouldn’t all the people we meet have already passed and time would have passed substantially? Realistically, by the time we finish other missions, Jarilo IV would have WAY more cities other than Belobog.
oblique root
If we were traveling at light speed or slower, sure
but I'm pretty sure the Astral Express and other space travel in the honkai universe defy our physics
agile basin
We're going Warp 12
oblique root
but also, its sci-fi. it doesnt have to have a logical explanation for it
agile basin
Warp 9.9969420
wintry pike
but also, its sci-fi. it doesnt have to have a logical explanation for it
Fair enough, it would have made for a darker story though and probably cause March’s perspective of Trailblazing be incredibly warped since those friends she once made are LONG gone and only their descendants remain.
oblique root
That could still be the case
I guess we'll see if we ever find out what happened to her
wintry pike
Also, I’m guessing warp speed is faster than light speed, and warp 10 is just a way of saying 10x faster than the speed of light. So even if we divide the time it takes by 10, it’d still be a fuck ton of time to have passed when traveling between worlds across solar systems and even galaxies. Then again, I don’t know how any of this works.
agile basin
I think it's logrithmic? Based off of Star Trek, Warp 1 is light speed.
oblique root
Yeah, I imagine so
agile basin
It's not consistent though, and the Express might do interdimensional travel instead (think HyperSpace in UrQuan Masters).
oblique root
Yeah, if I remember correctly, anything warp 9 or over was dangerous in Star Trek
I imagine since the star rail was created by the Trailblaze it can do whatever it wants
wintry pike
But if it were trans universal, wouldn’t it cause a problem where both Akivili and this other Aeon of Trailblaze come into contact and possibly cause a paradox?
Im just thinking of what could happen, I’m no astronomer or mathematician. I could just be spouting nonsense for all I’m aware with my novice level space travel knowledge.
agile basin
We also got to Penacony from The Xianzhou Loufu pretty quickly.
I'm not sure how extradimensional / multiple universes work in regards to the Astral Express's method of travel.
wintry pike
Is it too late to mention that this is coming from someone who just finished Belobog and is just doing side quests for jades before moving to Xianzhou?
agile basin
Funny thing is that you'll go back to Belobog and Herta Space Station for some of the Trailblaze Continuance missions.
wintry pike
Yeah that’s true
Take a guess what mission I’m doing right now.
Horror movie.
That’s your clue
agile basin
wintry pike
Wrong horror movie.
wintry pike
Nope
It’s the Ruan Mei mission that unlocks the restricted and multiplying beetle infested area of Herta space station.

And if you have Wolfie it helps out alot on that phase
agile basin
Swarm Disaster, but for real!
I kind of forgot most of that event. ||I guess Ruan Mei's sweets worked on me.||
Three things I like to keep in mind for that boss fight:
- Cure Entanglement ASAP -- The adds will target those with Entanglement.
- Try not to kill a bug if its death won't kill another bug. You want chain reactions.
- Phase 2, Multiplying phase. Can you break this turn? If yes, BREAK. if not, concentrate on adds instead, and weaken the boss's toughness on odd turns.
Characters I like to use: Ruan Mei (Ice damage plus Break efficiency), Welt (Can do a lot to a broken Swarm King, plus Ultimate is an AoE that can buy you time), Pela (Fast Ultimate Ice AoE that lowers defense), Jingliu (obvious), Yukong (buffs plus good Single Target break). I assume Dr Ratio is good, too. Heck, maybe Herta can do work?
wintry pike
Well I don’t have any of them soooooo……..
I have Lynx and Xueyi. I’ll catch Lynx up to have a good cleanser.
agile basin
Lynx is good. I still use Natasha from time to time.
Xueyi is probably good -- I don't have her so I can't say for sure.
I don't know if Black Swan and Arcana damage help at all, though it's nice to hit enemies when they spawn in.
wintry pike
Xueyi is probably good -- I don't have her so I can't say for sure.
Want a heavy damaging ult that says “fuck toughness weakness, you will damage it”? And a passive that gives her free hits once it’s full?
agile basin
Nice. I will try to get her someday.
wintry pike
On a 4 star.
agile basin
She's quantum, right? The most fun break type.
wintry pike
Yeah I know that any character is good and some 4 stars might as well be 5 stars, but giving an ult that kind of effect is just stupid.
wintry pike
She's quantum, right? The most fun break type.
Yup
Also I don’t know if Hanya is her sister, but if she is, it makes a lot of sense why they work really well together.

chrome mountain
The game is funny like that. (Also, it's actually Silver Wolf answering.)
agile basin
I thought you had to fully get through Xianzhou main story (1.3?) to open that story up, but I guess not.
If I remember correctly, 1.2 is THE BIG BOSS FIGHT in Xianzhou of the main story, 1.3 was the closing of it. 1.4 is "IPC Repos Jarilo-VI" and Pokemon. 1.5 is Spoopy Ghost Garden, and 1.6 is Ruan Mei Makes Mistake.
1.6 is also OMG DUKE FIRE DADDY.
wintry pike
The game is funny like that. (Also, it's actually Silver Wolf answering.)
Even though it was her, why would I even have Blades contact info in the first place?
How would my Caelus even know who this edgy swordsman is?
chrome mountain
No idea. 😅

Exactly.

Because you did a wrong warp and thus teleported to an alternative future where you met Blade before you met Blade.

No clue if anything new will be needed for 2.1 characters in this aspect.
For the advanced traces.

timber yoke
Xueyi was 1.6, right? I don't remember.
yeah shes 1.6
she uses blue bug mats
thing is if acheron aventurine and gallagher uses blue bug mats that makes 9 chars to make the use of it
since chars from 1.2 to 1.5 are in a number of 12 who use phant mats
agile basin
That's what I'm wondering, sincr only six characters use Bug Guts.

You know, I'd be fine with being dragged into Black Swan's Companion Mission, instead of the limited time event mission I was trying to do... except that Scampo is there with her.

I was debating whether to use My Swan or the Trial Swan. Trial Swan is faster and a little stronger, but my Swan is tougher and has SI V Eyes of the Prey instead of SI I.
So I went with mine. Both are E0 with Traces maxed.
Hey, hey, I trust Scampo... mostly.
If you back out, you can do the Hanu Adventure instead.
agile basin
You know, I'd be fine with being dragged into Black Swan's Companion Mission, in...
You have to listen to Dr. Edward describing the Mission, but you can back out, talk to Dr. Edward again, and you can select between Hanu Adventure and Swan Adventure.
