HSR Trash Can

[vivid moon]

Fu xuan is better

Don't fall for kafka's tricks

She's dominating you

Don't listen to her whispers

Don't fall for it golden, you are strong

You don't need the dangerous spider lady

[maiden escarp]

[vivid moon]

NOOOOO

[drifting oyster]

i prefer jingliu over kafka

even if she stabs me

[frozen lintel]

Holy fu-

[maiden escarp]

Bro is insane

[frozen lintel]

They teased tingyun

During the 1.0 launch op

[vivid moon]

Woo

[maiden escarp]

Tingyun

She's 3rd best girl

[vivid moon]

listening to qingque explain things to us while simultaneously screaming majhong moves i wonderful

[vivid moon]

OH MY GOD I CAME TO A REVELATION

so in xianzhou

that one planet in the sky with the funny wobbly rings

i looked in the sky at the divination commission and saw the rings (with funny details inside them) but no planet

looked to the right and saw a massive planet that wasn't there before

divination commission is the planet with the funny ring you see in the sky at starskiff haven

they almost look like neighborhoods or farmland sectioned off on the ring

i always thought the planet was a hologram like the rest of the sky after we learn that it's all a projection so the people of the ship don't have to look at the empty blackness of space

[vivid moon]

i'm at the part where kafka tells us everything after she got divined by fu xuan

but the audio just keeps cutting out and stuttering constantly

is this a game bug, an issue on my end, or has this happened to everyone else?

genshin leakers: "I'll pretend I didn't hear that."

the audio stopped stuttering and cutting out

i wonder what it was 😭

THE WAY THE EN VA SAYS THIS
he sounds like he's trying so hard to fight the urge to beat around the bush and at the same time embarrassed to admit he's been walking around with a coffin on his back

god i love her outfit and hair

just LOOK at her

an npc

SO PRETTY

[deft delta]

Hu Tao’s older sister

[lament bramble]

Kinda looks like she could be Seele's cousin (HI3 Seele)

[daring raft]

nah this def ain’t gonna be an NPC

you’ll see

too anime

[vivid moon]

way too anime

but an npc rn

[daring raft]

nah it’s just lip desyncing

happens

[vivid moon]

it wasn't only desyncing

the audio was cutting out, pausing, stuttering, and crackling

while the animation went on as usual

[daring raft]

ironically when people praise this game for “having better lip syncing than genshin”

sees more NPC voices whose mouths don’t even move during cutscenes

[vivid moon]

the audio was stopping and starting and making weird noises

[daring raft]

that never happened to me and i played through this cutscenes just this week even

your phone is possessed

[vivid moon]

not my phone

laptop

[daring raft]

even more susceptible to possession

[vivid moon]

i just wasn't sure if it was the game itself and something they just hadn't fixed yet for some reason or if it was on my end

[daring raft]

i recommend an exorcist

[vivid moon]

because immediately after that cutscene, everything went back to normal

then kafka went back on screen and it did it again after she spoke 3-4 dialogues

[daring raft]

not even the game could take Kafka without her make up

[vivid moon]

at first i thought it was intentional

but it kept going

and i realized it wasn't intentional probably

[pulsar junco]

Yukong companion quest is like the best shit that I played through in Honkai and Genshin combined

[frozen lintel]

Seriously?

Imma have to try it then

[pulsar junco]

It brought out the feels

the voice acting in this one was also 10/10

[open lotus]

its solid

I think out of all the companion quests I liked Clara’s the most

[vivid moon]

I love yukong's voice

And Jing yuan

The two of them are like S tier voices

[open lotus]

en jing yuan is really cool

[nimble condor]

It's Cyno va

[open lotus]

I use jp so I usually hear this

[vivid moon]

lol

honestly love alejandro

his voice as jing yuan is just

butter

[maiden escarp]

Alejandro my goat

[vivid moon]

alejandro is the fucking goat

genshin should make a spanish dub and have him voice like half the playable men

[vivid moon]

OH HEY IM FIGHTING A MAGIC DEER

THE SOUNDS IT MAKES

MMMMM

MAGICAL

IM SORRY DID THIS BITCH JUST HEAL FOR 65K HP??

[maiden escarp]

Yeah it does that

[vivid moon]

gonna lose my fucking MIND

time for gilbert to solo

he ain't soloing shit

the stupid blossom heals for more than he can do damage so i think i'll ride it out without shields until he dies then try with natasha swapped in

[vivid moon]

i will fucking destroy this thing even if it takes me until 5am to whittle it's health down through slow, but consistent, effect breaks

[vivid moon]

ONE PERCENT AT A TIME

ONE PERCENT AT A TIME

March: "It's getting weak! Quick, finish it off!"
Me: "It ain't gonna fucking be quick "

WAIT

YOU CAN TAKE TOO LONG IN A FIGHT???

IT WAS AT 16% HP

I WAS ALMOST DONE

AND THE GAME GIVES ME A LOADING SYMBOL AND JUST... INSTA ENDS THE FIGHT????

THAT IS SUCH BULLSHIT

I JUST WASTED AN HOUR DOING THAT

WAIT IT WASN'T AN HOUR

IT WAS 2???

BETWEEN THE FIGHT I LOST PRETTY QUICKLY AND THIS ONE I WAS JUST ABOUT TO FUCKING WIN

[vivid moon]

if this doesn't work, i'm crying

H E L P

WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO BE REQUIRED TO ADVANCE THE STORY????

I JUST WANTED TO DO THE FUCKING EVENT GODDAMN IT

i got to phase 2 with gepard as the only casuality
SOMEHOW

FINALLY

IT'S 4AM

I CAN GO TO BED

I DID IT

FUCK YOU DEER

[wraith token]

[vivid moon]

i got an achievement from the one where i nearly got it with just natasha and gepard

[analog pollen]

you should really consider using some supports

😅

[lament bramble]

https://youtu.be/U8M5D0q6hTM

It's a way of life

[open lotus]

preservation moment

[maiden escarp]

I'm very responsible financially 🙂

[pulsar junco]

damn

[analog pollen]

pokemon is 1v1 ,and doesn't have a resource management system tied to its moves, it's not the same thing

[lament bramble]

[analog pollen]

theres only like 2 npcs that use that gimmick per game

and it wasnt even a thing back when that guy was 5 yo

[lament bramble]

It's a way of life man

Don't judge

[vivid moon]

NEVER

natasha and gepard are my "supports"

i need my damage dealers damn it

[vivid moon]

THIS IS MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

EXACTLY

YOU FUCKING GET ME

THIS VIDEO SUMS UP MY ENTIRE BEING IN GAMES IF I'M NOT A HEALER

[vivid moon]

NICE

[maiden escarp]

Yeah

I need her va to sign it immediately

[analog pollen]

so heres the thing

you arent using your damage dealers to their fullest extent

their main damage comes from spamming their skills and ults

and you can't do that with 3 damage dealers in the same team

you aren't generating enough skill points for that

if youre just using normal attacks they arent being used to their fullest potential

[maiden escarp]

Okay but hear me out

Moar damage

[analog pollen]

yes

if you use supports it's more damage

[maiden escarp]

More damage dealers

[analog pollen]

having 3 dps that only do normal attacks is less damage

[vivid moon]

nah, i alternate

basically, mc and jing yuan take presidence- so i use their skills a lot
gepard tends to get hit, so he auto-charges because enemies despise his preservation ass along with his normals
and i hate my luck, so i don't use qingque's skill, and she automatically gets tiles every time someone gets a turn anyway so eventually she gets her special normal

and because preservation and destruction-aligned characters have the most taunt to enemies, if the enemies are weak to physical my mc just heals after each time she hits them

it's almost fool-proof until i face a FUCKING DEER

[analog pollen]

so youre just using qq for normal attacks?

ugh

might as well use a buffer at that point

also her skill isnt entirely rng iirc

it wont overwrite smth you already have 2+ copies of

[vivid moon]

no i know

but i

waste skill points

on several attempts

and get the same fucking tiles

that don't make a 4 set

i can have a single tile i need to fill and she'll roll any of the other tiles on all 5 skill points and then i've wasted everything and STILL use an unbuffed normal from her

[analog pollen]

😔

[vivid moon]

it's annoying as hell

but she's my only quantam character

so she rocks in destroying effect shields or whatever they're called

[analog pollen]

if youre only doing story content you dont really need to worry about weaknesses, a well built 5star dps should be enough to brute force all fights

[vivid moon]

EXCEPT FOR THE FUCKING DEER

THAT BULLSHIT

THAT TOOK ME 4 HOURS

i used like 4 different teams

[analog pollen]

I think theres a problem with your charas if it took that long

[vivid moon]

didn't win until i used herta, gepard, qingque, and natasha

[analog pollen]

that was the story fight?

[vivid moon]

yes

i had

admittedly

[analog pollen]

oof

[vivid moon]

stupidly

just ascended my world

right before the fight

LOL

[analog pollen]

ye that'd do it

[vivid moon]

but i wanna get through the content so i can do the limited event that ends in a week

[analog pollen]

story deer shouldnt be that hard

I killed it so fast I didnt even get to see what its gimmick was

and back in 1.0 there was no place where you could fight it again

so I had no idea what the branches did till next patch

[vivid moon]

yjdthsarg

yeah no i couldn't even break the weakness of the branches quick enough to get them to fucking stop

so i just hard focused everything on the deer

and said "fuck it" it doing anything to the branches

[polar prism]

got this lightcone recently and the description doesn't really tell me who these people are, so

potential spoilers?
i don't think we've seen either of these characters before, so if anyone can tell me - i'd appreciate that

[vivid moon]

a lot of light cones use characters not in-game yet

luka's(?) lightcone was released in 1.0 but he himself isn't being released/hasn't even been mentioned until next patch

oh wait, this is 1.2

this patch not next patch, whoops

https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/Resolution_Shines_As_Pearls_of_Sweat

but yeah, his lightcone was released in 1.0, doesn't mention his name, but still exists prior to him being added to the game

[frozen lintel]

damn look at them cakes

[vivid moon]

i think that'll be the case for a LOT of characters rn

[frozen lintel]

[vivid moon]

idk what you expect when the dude's out here kicking ass every day as a hobby

like i can't wait to see who this is

https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/Return_to_Darkness

[frozen lintel]

isnt the other girl the one from the quest

the cyborg one or wtv

[vivid moon]

and this one https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/Trend_of_the_Universal_Market

[frozen lintel]

ipc girl

[analog pollen]

you'll meet them both relatively soon

[vivid moon]

this one was prior to the game's release but we now know the blonde girl to be lynx https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/Warmth_Shortens_Cold_Nights

[vivid moon]

they're in-game rn?

[analog pollen]

no

[vivid moon]

exactly.

i'm talking about how

there's these light cones with characters not in the game yet

so they'll probably be in future patches

like with luka and lynx

[analog pollen]

and im talking about how

they'll show up sooner than later

at least the last 2

idk what's with the 2 white haired kids

[vivid moon]

yeah, we were talking about this lol

idk who the kids are, but they'll probably mean something later on

that isn't currently in the story

[polar prism]

like, judging from clothing, they're from Luofu

[frozen lintel]

personally

this might be the next planet

[polar prism]

i'd even go as far as to say it's kid versions of these two, one with just a diff hair color for one reason or another

[vivid moon]

actually you have a point

[polar prism]

is that Jingliu

[vivid moon]

if they wanted to keep their haircuts at least

[polar prism]

she looks similar just diff eye color

[vivid moon]

because the eyes look the same for the white haired girl

[polar prism]

yea

[analog pollen]

ah actually

[polar prism]

i wonder

[analog pollen]

we know xueyi is just a robot body now

so maybe

[polar prism]

yeah

[analog pollen]

the kid lc is back when she was human

and they both had white hair

[vivid moon]

😭

maybe

[polar prism]

and Jingliu has eye color similar to Blade, so maybe they had common thing with the whole revival/immortality thing

[analog pollen]

do they?

[polar prism]

hm

[analog pollen]

huh

[vivid moon]

best pic i can immediately find of his eyes

[analog pollen]

but that was back when she was still a normal human

[vivid moon]

oh wait nevermind, that was beta blade

this is his eye now

[frozen lintel]

i like the new eyes better

[vivid moon]

yee

they're more dragon-like

which is always cool

[polar prism]

point is
i'm getting Jingliu and Xueyi

i like them

but lightcone art being cryptic is fun

[analog pollen]

they're both same patch so good luck

hope theyre on the same banner

[polar prism]

praying

i didn't skip Luocha and Blade for nothing

[nimble condor]

how did i not expect this

blade wolf

silver wolf

wolf spider

[polar prism]

right, think there was a species of spider like that

lemme check

[vivid moon]

there is

please dont send it though

i have horrid arachnophobia

[polar prism]

yep

huh

"live mostly in solitude, hunt alone and usually do not spin webs"

it's almost as weird as when you realize not all bees live in hives

[vivid moon]

yes, and wolf spiders are not fun to find under someone's backpack in the girl's locker room

[frozen lintel]

[vivid moon]

someone threw their dunk's cup on it and ran out of the room to get a teacher to go kill it JYDHTSG

oh hey, it's sacred sakura but dragon

BRUH THE MAIN STORY QUEST CAN LOCK YOU OUT OF WORLD QUESTS???

I NEED TO FINISH WORLD QUESTS BEFORE I CAN DO THE MAIN QUEST UNLESS I WANNA LOSE OUT ON REWARDS

BULLSHIT

I NEED TO GET SHIT DONE BEFORE THE EVENT ENDS

[analog pollen]

what quest did you get locked out of?

never heard about this before

[vivid moon]

i didn't get locked out of it because it warned me beforehand

but it was something about a group of people in xianzhou trying to make a cult of immortals

[analog pollen]

OH

ok so

[vivid moon]

and a thing about an alchemist medic girl

who's their master

[analog pollen]

that quest

used to be part of the main storyline

but they changed it after 1.0

cuz people complained about the pacing

[vivid moon]

i was going to continue the main story but when i got to this part, it gave me a pop up saying "are you sure you would like to continue? these quests will be permanently inaccessible" or something along those lines and it showed me a quest i currently had in the world and a locked secondary quest that happens after it

so i just

had to go through all of that

dude this shit took me like an hour to get through

[analog pollen]

I was wondering how that was gonna work

[vivid moon]

and i barely paid any attention to anything

[analog pollen]

oof

[vivid moon]

i skipped most dialogue

so much running around

[analog pollen]

it's sorta important later but not really?

[vivid moon]

do i get to shove the poison medicine down someone's throat

and win

[analog pollen]

I thought they were gonna go the ayaka/yoimiya quest route

[vivid moon]

nah

[analog pollen]

also

did you eat the pellet

[vivid moon]

it's now optional but gets permanently locked if you don't do it before a certain point

no

i didn't

i went straigh to qingzu lol

also

[analog pollen]

lol

[vivid moon]

the hsr cake is cute

also came with 100 jades

[analog pollen]

oooo happy birthday

[vivid moon]

thank you

anyway, im going to leave the rest for tomorrow or tuesday

and hoping i can speedrun the event

that's fucking LOCKED BEHIND IT

i will GET those jades for dragon man, i swear it

i'm at 70 pity and 94 passes

i WILL get him

[analog pollen]

you'll get a lot of jades next patch if you like doing sim worlds

[pulsar junco]

i believe in you kc

[vivid moon]

Thank you geo

And I tend to forget to do the su

[barren star]

thats good for me to hear since I very much need jades for Danil and Fx. I love SU as well

[analog pollen]

ye i was really surpirsed to see all the upcoming updates

didnt expect them to focus on su so much

kinda curious now how it's gonna look in a few years

[vivid moon]

yee

[mild musk]

It’ll be crazy if the next world arc is based off jingliu or whatever her name is and we help her see the light

Cause she fasho possessed

[daring raft]

JC by the end of it:
“Dan Who?”

(Dan Shu btw)

[vivid moon]

I know Dan shu

The dialogue I skipped was about the effects and making of the medicine

Then when Dan shu disappeared from her post and left behind pellets for me, I didn't take them because I was like "wait wtf no, idk what this shit is gonna do to me" and went straight to qingzu

I liked the strange cloud knight guy though

He was funny and friendly

I liked his en VA too

[analog pollen]

it was supposed to make you immortal and cool and awesome

😔

[vivid moon]

Damn 😔

So I get to see all my friends die over and over again while I live forever?

Sounds totally awesome...

[analog pollen]

feed them the pill too

problem solved

😃

actually

if you make pom pom immortal

would you have infinite chicken drums

🤔

[vivid moon]

But what if I've made more than 5 friends in HSR?
The others will be left out!

[vivid moon]

OOOOOH

Infinite chimken

[daring raft]

meanwhile me:

takes it anyway knowing i’d survive cuz MC buff

[vivid moon]

Dochdocjwv

[daring raft]

which Genshin characters do you wanna see in HSR?

[maiden escarp]

None actually

[wraith token]

none, so none can use it to fuel their crack genshin theories

[vivid moon]

True

[daring raft]

c’mon you’re telling me you wouldn’t want an Ice Tartaglia using riptide in a turn based game? /jk

[vivid moon]

Don't tempt me

[daring raft]

5* Ice Erudition

[vivid moon]

YES

When he gains enough stacks, he unleashes a wave/falling arrow that damages all enemies on the field depending on which stance he currently holds

Each skill point used switches his stance and damages the targeted enemy and enemies immediately adjacent to it

[maiden escarp]

He's like the only one that could work, I can imagine him being a normal attack spammer with a skill to change element

The rest, idk

I just don't like the idea of genshin characters being in that scenario for some reason

[vivid moon]

Yeah

Genshin characters are a bit generic yet also niche

But tbh if they've done it with honkai to genshin, I can see it happening the other way around, too

I'm sure it probably felt weird at first for honkai players to start seeing their favorite characters enter genshin after venti = Wendy

[maiden escarp]

I think it's interesting that they're mostly keeping the honkai references subtle this time around

Instead of "oh, that's just Welt" it's a vague reference and feeling with Zhongli

Same with Venti and Ei

Not similar to their honkai counterparts at all

[vivid moon]

Yeee

[daring raft]

they’re more ‘dissonant’ than generic imo.

Genshin’s pretty distinctly branded from anything Honkai related to boot, peolly adding to that ‘dissonance’

but yeah you’re sooner getting a Wendy in HSR than Venti

[daring raft]

caught up with main story

that last half was noticeably rushed

[wraith token]

she looks awesome (leak)

[maiden escarp]

Seeing how op my gf's gepard is makes me want him so bad

You don't even need a healer if you have him

[frozen lintel]

The shading

[open lotus]

I want gepard

broke pity and got e1 welt instead

his eidolons are good but I’m suffering from success

[vivid moon]

can it please stay, stephen? 🥺

jing yuan invited me to tea

[vivid moon]

i just came to the realization that warp trotters have the universe in their mouths

[vivid moon]

t.....tingyun???

DID SHE DIE?

HER NECK GOT SNAPPED

AND HER HEART FLOATED OUT??

this was a cool moment though

WAIT THIS MEANS I'M NOT CRAZY

HER VOICE ACTUALLY DID CHANGE FOR THE QUEST

I THOUGHT MAYBE I'D JUST IMAGINED HER VOICE DIFFERENTLY/REMEMBERED IT WRONG

[pulsar junco]

this is in my top 10 anime betrayals

also someone mentioned this is why we never recieved any messages from her, the fact she was posessed by Green Booba Lady

[pulsar junco]

also Geppy is a good boy, no one screams 'golden lab' vibes like him

[maiden escarp]

Golden indeed

[open lotus]

goldindeed

[vivid moon]

THIS CUTSCENE WAS SO FUCKING GOOD

AND THE WATER ANIMATION THEY USED LOOKED AWESOME

AND THE MUSIC

YU PENG PLEASE KEEP MAKING MORE

and the shadow of the arbor's trunk and roots in the background

[daring raft]

110% betting you the real Tingyun is chill and/or tied up in a basement

[barren star]

I also had that same moment where I was like "she sounds different. Why does she sound different?"

[lament bramble]

Man, Kc's ahead of me in the story?

It feels like some fundamental law of the universe has been violated

[maiden escarp]

Yeah wait wtf

[maiden escarp]

just got e6 march

[vivid moon]

LMAO I WANT THOSE EVENT JADES AND THERES 3 DAYS LEFT

But I'm exhausted 😭

[nimble condor]

Oh right the event has 3 days left for some fucking reason

[vivid moon]

And is locked behind the completion of the entire story up to this point basically

[nimble condor]

That's not a problem on my part

[pulsar junco]

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy

[analog pollen]

ah thank you

[vivid moon]

EXACTLY

[lament bramble]

That bit was the episode of Grim Adventures of Bill and Mandy where they made Mandy smile

[analog pollen]

not sure if I saw that one

it's been way too long

and they aired that cartoon at very weird times

[vivid moon]

GOD THE ROOF TO THE DOMAIN AT THE ROOTS IS SO PRETTY

phantylia's whole thing is super pretty too 😭

but damn it WHY does she need to be able to steal skill points

i swear to fuck

i will destroy that flower first

also this music is kinda banger

i'm wondering if it has timed phases like cocolia's

OH THEY BOTH REMOVE POINTS

DAMN IT

ooooh i just realize jing yuan has unique action dialogue during this fight

his dialogue when he attacks changes to stuff like "Phantylia, your scheme ends here!"

IM SORRY?

WAIT I TOOK THE SCREENSHOT LIKE

0.5S TOO LATE

THAT WAS SO COOL LOOKING THOUGH

"VANQUISH THE ABOMINATION"

T H I S

i really like the vibe of her boss music

HOW TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK IN ONE EASY STEP

the goal is to keep jing yuan alive

ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS IS TO KEEP HIM ALIVE

BUT GEPARD'S SHIELD WASN'T CHARGED YET

WHEN I SAW IT TURN RED WITH ANOTHER ENEMY'S TURN BEFORE GEPPIE'S SHIELD

MY HEART SKIPPED

A BEAT

AND THIS NEXT PHASE ISN'T MAKING IT ANY BETTER

BUT THE MUSIC IS RAMPING UP AND SOUNDING MORE EPIC AND BEAUTIFUL AND I LOVE IT

THIS IS GORGEOUS??

[maiden escarp]

Did you win

[vivid moon]

i got to three consecutive cutscenes with some of the coolest animation i've seen in both genshin and hsr so i'd say so

also dragon man is so pretty

GREAT RESPONSE TO THAT QUESTION, GENERAL

OKAY I CAN FINALLY DO THE EVENT

tomorrow..

[frozen lintel]

congrats

[frozen lintel]

the music

is utter genius

that chorus is like some ancient choir from one specific small region from china

Yu peng chen: "yeah imma put a trap beat over it"

also @vivid moon if ur thinking abt pulling on DHIL he's utterly busted and has avoided nerfs so far

[lament bramble]

Yu Peng's ability to mix genres and instruments in the most bizarre and strange combinations and have it actually work is incredible

[frozen lintel]

just put trap over any ancient/classical music = 10x better

but fr yeah

he is

super creative

[vivid moon]

I see you haven't seen my numerous mentions of dragon man

Not really much to have thoughts about. Seems pretty straightforward

Personally I couldn't care less about kafka

No thoughts, head empty

Actually nah, head filled with fontaine

[maiden escarp]

Me when I see kafka

[analog pollen]

golden no

stay strong

You can't stop me

Kafka makes my brain rot

thats why you should stay away

it's not good for your mental health

It's okay she can make me worse 🙂

[maiden escarp]

Boooo

Boooooo not Kafka

Boooooo

[open lotus]

do you still have enough to roll kafka lol

[maiden escarp]

Kafka better break the payment system like father Yuan did

[wraith token]

i wont need kafka coz im not a DoT fan, also i have jingyuan

[maiden escarp]

I also do

But I need Kafka

[daring raft]

Saber waiting room (Lynx)

[wraith token]

bro my sampo still doesnt want me

[daring raft]

i keep forgetting Sampo is an actual playable character

[vivid moon]

can't wait for dragon man

[analog pollen]

did you decide on a team for him

[lament bramble]

Im guessing they'll be replacing their 1 support for him

[open lotus]

😂

[vivid moon]

Support? What support?

Gepard? Because otherwise I use qingque, Jing Yuan, and physical mc

[lament bramble]

The characters that support your team by reducing the enemy's hp to 0

[vivid moon]

YES

THANK YOU

WHO NEEDS A HEALER WHEN YOU CAN JUST HIT HARD ENOUGH TO KILL EVERYTHING BEFORE IT TOUCHES YOU

[analog pollen]

you dont need a healer with gepard yes

[vivid moon]

Unless you're me and unwittingly level up your world but not your characters right before an important boss fight

Then struggle for 4 hours trying to complete it, find there's a limit to how long/how many rounds a fight can be, and slowly lose your mind

FUCK OFF

build pity went wrong

24 pity 😭

[maiden escarp]

I need her

[vivid moon]

CAN HE PLEASE STOP FUCKING DAMAGE BOOSTING

HE TAKES OUT AN ENTIRE GEPARD SHIELD IN ONE HIT

FOR THE LOVE OF G O D

HE TAKES 60% OF MC'S HP

IM GONNA CRYYYYYYYY

[wraith token]

whats with the destruction resonance

[vivid moon]

W H Y

[vivid moon]

because i really like destruction cards

one of them has been healing me every time my health drops below a certain point

which has been super helpful like

30 times for this fight

but this BITCH keeps buffing himself and it doesn't have a cap

[wraith token]

nah you havent tried preservation tech

[vivid moon]

so his damage keeps getting higher and higher to the point where my shielding and healing can't keep up

[vivid moon]

bitch do i look like the type of person who'd use preservation cards

I RUN A TEAM WITH 3 DPS UNITS

[wraith token]

coz u have gepard

[vivid moon]

IN OVERWORLD

[wraith token]

nah i even use preservation even in fire mc alone and its worth it

[vivid moon]

[wraith token]

gepard will destroy all of those bots in one resonance hit

[vivid moon]

should have told me this about 2 hours ago

HHHHHHHH

i died which was to be expected

but jesus christ

[wraith token]

preservation cards will make you immortal

[vivid moon]

[vivid moon]

i have been enlightened to the insanity that is the preservation resonance

gepard had a 7k shield

i didn't even realize shields could go BEYOND the helth bar

(didn't do it in world 5 because ew another 2 hour endeavor, but will definitely do it in the future)

[maiden escarp]

Use abundance, trust

[vivid moon]

i don't have abundance yet

[wraith token]

clear 1 floor in w5 and exit

day 3 building

[vivid moon]

it is 2am and i have work

[analog pollen]

you get abundance first thing in world 5

[vivid moon]

Oh, then I guess I was on world 4 and only unlocked world 5

[nimble condor]

Fuck abundance and fuck preservation

Hunt only

Only hunt

[barren star]

I think hunt is kinda meh. Nihility Sushang is the play. its hilarious

[nimble condor]

you know what's a shame

that Kafka is all about Dot and has 0 use for her spirit whisper or whatever it's called

the thing that mind controls people

wouldn't it be cooler if she could mind control enemies to attack eachother

[analog pollen]

marin karin

[clear parrot]

Master diviner release when 😔

[analog pollen]

in 21 days

or wait no I think shes 2nd half

[frozen lintel]

We get an alternate 5 star maybe

[maiden escarp]

LETS GOOOO

[analog pollen]

what pity

[maiden escarp]

81

BUT E2 KAFKA

[analog pollen]

oh wow e2

have fun

[maiden escarp]

And I'm getting her lightcone

[maiden escarp]

Got her lightcone in 50 pulls

Always gamble, you can never lose

Won 3 50/50s, and the 75/25

[nimble condor]

so i did a 10 pull cause fuck it im at 5 pity

and i got himeko

so now i have dan hung garanteed

99 summons at the moment

so i may try to go for his light cone cause damn do i not have any good destruction ones

i could go for the BP one but idk if it's worth it

[daring raft]

Kafka quest spoiler.
Is she fr? or screwing with us when she says this?

[maiden escarp]

Ahem

Anyways

[open lotus]

||its a lie||

[daring raft]

yeah turns out ||SW and Blade have nothing to do with it according to a friend||

[vivid moon]

Su one is good

I use it on MC and she does numbers

[vivid moon]

How in the hell

That has to be photoshopped right

The difference for leveling from 65 to 70 is the same as genshin and that took people almost 2 years to do

At the quickest

[wraith token]

its achievable in 2 months if you 8x buy tb power everyday

[vivid moon]

Ah 😭

[wraith token]

i checked compute it in a spreadsheet

8x tb power = 480 resin

thats equivalent to 2 days of free game resin

[nimble condor]

I'm told on the leaks reddit its like his second bis or close

But his light cone depending on the numbers is also very fucking strong

Cr atk and er

[vivid moon]

What does this mean

[nimble condor]

Reread now

Fucking autocorrect

[vivid moon]

Ooh okay

Thank you

I couldn't tell if it was the sentence or me

[pulsar junco]

No Kafka, but Luka is home

https://tenor.com/view/honkai-star-rail-hsr-luka-boxing-redhead-gif-9868135436010504572

[wraith token]

Have Kafka but no resource to level her, and the DoT team she needs

[pulsar junco]

[nimble condor]

Fuck kafka Daniel the hung is coming

[pulsar junco]

Moses Daniel

[wraith token]

cooler Daniel

[vivid moon]

Yay Luka!!

[pulsar junco]

I even went back to the boxing ring to talk to him
he was not swarmed with fans this time

[vivid moon]

[frozen lintel]

Me saving for e2 dhil heh

[pulsar junco]

e2 DHL

https://tenor.com/view/dribble-gif-21070936

[frozen lintel]

Lowkey the most broken thing in the game

[vivid moon]

Dragon man

[clear parrot]

I hope March alter is as broken and cool

[vivid moon]

Yeeeee

[lament bramble]

noice

yee, the amount was annoyingly low, so bumping it up is a w

• it sounds like they're adding something like HI3's surplus stamina stystem

[wraith token]

genshin. please. be alive

[vivid moon]

Please for the love of God

Give genshin something like this

Or expand on condensed resin 😭

I constantly max out before I get a day where I just farm...

I've had full resin and condensed resin for like 4 days

[nimble condor]

So hsr gets the honkai feature of automatically converting a percentage to reserves

Meanwhile genshin being left in the dust

We can clearly see who the favourite child is

And it's hsr by a lot

[maiden escarp]

very wholesome things

[nimble condor]

I think she needs a job

[wraith token]

He's just sitting there

[nimble condor]

What he doin

[pulsar junco]

||Blade in the bg, what is he even doing there||

[nimble condor]

He doing his taxes

[pulsar junco]

cyberstalking Daniel

[nimble condor]

Kek I can imagine blade being toxic af online just sending death threats to daniel

[pulsar junco]

"where are the white vans Daniel"

[maiden escarp]

||I DIDNT GET THE MOM LINE NOOOOOO||

also, i would not even need to think twice

[maiden escarp]

||why the hell is this yangqing fight so hard ||

I hate this child so much

Ive lost to him at least 10 times now wtf

[analog pollen]

One of the CEOs literally said honkai is their favorite on the last conference they did

[maiden escarp]

Holy shit this fight is hard

die you little shit

[nimble condor]

@maiden escarp kek

[maiden escarp]

What about it

[nimble condor]

Oh sorry

Didn't mean to ping you

Must have clicked your name by accident

[maiden escarp]

Uhhhhh huh

[nimble condor]

On phone if I click your name it automatically pings you

It stoopid

[maiden escarp]

Oh yeah, it does that

forgot to mention my very hard earned pulls i think

[nimble condor]

Ok but that's not daniel

[maiden escarp]

Who needs daniel

[nimble condor]

Me

[maiden escarp]

We are a yuri supporting household

So we roll for women (ignore my Jing Yuan)

[nimble condor]

Ye I support Yuri while Daniel works his ass off in the mines

[maiden escarp]

Is he the breadwinner for them

[nimble condor]

He's the bread giver

But he doesn't win

[maiden escarp]

[nimble condor]

Meanwhile seele and her two girlfriends enjoy life

That and Daniel just fucking broken

Man's the literal dps ceiling for the game if he doesn't get nerfed

[maiden escarp]

Wait huh

He is???

[nimble condor]

Ya

He stronk af

[maiden escarp]

What the

[nimble condor]

But he eats sp like crazy

[maiden escarp]

Ah

So that's the downside

[nimble condor]

In his trial on the quest he didn't use any sp on his skill

Cause his burst gives him 3 stacks that can be used instead of sp

And they had that activated every turn

[maiden escarp]

[nimble condor]

But normally he will eat your sp like there's no tomorrow

[maiden escarp]

Sounds kinda yikes

[nimble condor]

His light cone fixes that by giving him energy recharge

So he can burst more

[maiden escarp]

I mean, who can he even pair with that's

Oh

I'm assuming he basically needs his lc then

[nimble condor]

Just keep using burst so you don't eat sp that's the plan

[nimble condor]

The herta store one is like his second bis

He just needs energy to keep bursting

And then do the big enhanced na

And because he's so strong im expecting march alter to be crazy too

[maiden escarp]

Maybe I'll do some rolls for him

[nimble condor]

Inb4 march can inflict perma freeze

[maiden escarp]

But I think I need fu xuan for my lineup more

I only have March and mc for my shielders

[nimble condor]

Fu is weird

[maiden escarp]

And only Natasha as a healer

[nimble condor]

She's a preservation that doesn't shield

[maiden escarp]

Huh

[nimble condor]

She gives dmg redirection or some shit

She take dmg for you

[maiden escarp]

Oh

That doesn't sound that great

[nimble condor]

I'm told she's good

[maiden escarp]

Mhm

[nimble condor]

But idk how good

She seems weird to use

[maiden escarp]

Can't she heal or am I on crack

[nimble condor]

Don't remember

She can probably self heal

[maiden escarp]

Ah

Well she's probably gonna be helpful cause my support units are few

[nimble condor]

Who needs support when you can do dmg

[maiden escarp]

The kc mindset

[analog pollen]

she swaps current hp with hp lost

and can do it indefinitely

as long as you dont get 1shot she basically cant die

also heals up the team

also gives teamwide damage reduction

[nimble condor]

Ye that

She weird but good

I forget tho does she scale of hp or def

[maiden escarp]

I'd imagine hp

[maiden escarp]

What does that mean, in razor language

[analog pollen]

hp yes

[analog pollen]

you get to 30% hp

you activate ult

now youre at 70% hp

[maiden escarp]

Oh shit

Does she have self healing too then?

[analog pollen]

it's teamwide yea

it's not super big but it works ig

[nimble condor]

She defend she heal

[maiden escarp]

[analog pollen]

she also buffs crit rate iirc

[nimble condor]

So what I'm hearing is

Put her with bronya

Get both crit buffs

Do dmg

[analog pollen]

also shes the only 5star preservation character coming for quite a while so get her if you dont have gepard and are tired of tingyun getting bullied

[nimble condor]

I'll get Daniel and his cone if I still have summons left I'll think about it

[maiden escarp]

She's a must get then

[analog pollen]

ye ugh

hoyo really hates preservation for some reason

if you look at all the leaked charas

theres 1 for each path for each element AT LEAST

other than preservation

theres only 1 more preservation coming after this lmao

[daring raft]

why would it be dead otherwise lol

[frozen lintel]

e2 dhil is like

yelan e6 level stupid

its utterly stupidly absurdly overpowered

you dont even reallly need his lc

Because his basic attacks do seele burst levels of damage

the only downside is his sp hungry nature

well guess what e2 does

[maiden escarp]

What the hell

[frozen lintel]

pretty removes that weakness

Not only does his burst give you free basic attacks

it advances his action INSTANTLY

[maiden escarp]

That's insane

[frozen lintel]

So as SOON as you burst, free maxed out basic attack

[maiden escarp]

[frozen lintel]

did i forget to mention his traces just give TONS OF CRIT

24% CRIT Dmg+ on any imaginary weakness enemy

[maiden escarp]

What the fuck

[frozen lintel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FngUUG96hsA&t=5s

^ This is e2 dhil soloing MOC

not SU

MOC

dont get me wrong kafka goated too but

hoyo hasnt nerfed him at all in each of the beta patches every week for the last 2 months LOL

[maiden escarp]

HUH

HES INSANE

[frozen lintel]

newest one today

they buffed him LMAOOOO

[maiden escarp]

HOW

[frozen lintel]

thats moc 10 btw

LOLLLL

[maiden escarp]

Maybe I have to spend more money

[frozen lintel]

Ive been working all summer time to whale for this man

i saved up enough cash

kafkas a lot better then i thought tho

i have a bunch of chinese friends added somehow and ig theyre all oil princes cuz

that e6 s5 kafka is something

[maiden escarp]

Wtf

[frozen lintel]

like holy moly

[maiden escarp]

Maybe I don't need fu xuan

But also

I need a support

[frozen lintel]

Fu xuan will be interesting

idrk how good she'll be it's so hard to tell

but so far it seems shes very powerful too

[maiden escarp]

Why the hell did they have to stack cracked units after I blew it on Kafka

I love her dearly and I don't regret it but holy shit

[frozen lintel]

Theyve been stacking cracked units every patch

seele

SW

Luocha

Blade

Kafka

DHIL

[maiden escarp]

I rolled on Jing Yuan like a fool

[frozen lintel]

LOL

[maiden escarp]

Cause I liked his character

[frozen lintel]

he needs some buffs

i think theres gonna be artifacts to help him out tho so hopefully

^ dhil fuilly leveled damage

for perspective seele does 459% to a single target with her burst

tho tbf she gets the 88% bonus atk from resurgence

[maiden escarp]

What the hell

[frozen lintel]

but yeah

idk afterwards tbh we might get some mid characters after

[open lotus]

if I pull dhil

with max cdmg buffs I can basically give him 80:200 crit ratio w/out his cone

my e1 welt cannot save himself

[maiden escarp]

I have to resist spending money

[vivid moon]

Yelan e6

[vivid moon]

MY BOYYYYYYY

MY FRIEND LAUGHED AT ME FOR NOT WANTING KAFKA

HE CAN SUCK IT

DRAGON MAN IS NOT ONLY GORGEOUS AND HAS BEAUTIFUL ANIMATIONS BUT IS OP AS FUCK LESSGOOOOOOO

Do they share what their build is with dragon man in that video

The title just says e2

Do they use his signature light cone

What are his stats

I must know

[frozen lintel]

LMAO

Maybe

im not sure

hes good even without it tho imo

[vivid moon]

Yeeee
