Gacha hell

[humble citrus]

[reef elm]

That might make tingyun live

[shrewd plinth]

[reef elm]

If feixao wasn’t follow up based I might pull for her but that teams really expensive

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah...

It takes a lot of investment as well

Since you have to build 2 DPS

[reef elm]

And Robin

[shrewd plinth]

Robin's not that bad since you just go all-in on Attack and ERR

[reef elm]

I see

Do we know not sparkles kit yet

https://tenor.com/view/lingsha-honkai-star-rail-hsr-lingsha-hsr-lingsha-chibi-gif-13773947552175232637

[shrewd plinth]

We don't know her numbers, but we know what she does

Basically a bunch of AoE heals, a Break Damage Boosting debuff on her ult, and a followup attack

Basically less SP positive Gallagher

[reef elm]

Sadge

[shrewd plinth]

Though since she's a 5 Star, I'd expect her overall healing output and the power of her debuff to be stronger

Can't say that for sure though

[rocky palm]

I know her numbers if you want spoilers

[rocky palm]

Imo she wants speed too

I'm aiming for 143 on Robin rn, sitting at 141 currently

Pulled these yesterday lol

Speed helps to get her energy more quickly cause her skill gives 50 energy

[wicked gazelle]

20 boots and only 4 atk percent boots

[reef elm]

I think I got a decent sparkle piece yesterday

[wicked gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/homer-simpson-homer-disappears-bush-hiding-gif-3377649

[rocky palm]

I've got this cracked out one

[shrewd plinth]

I don't know how I managed this, but I think most of my Sparkle relics are pretty cracked

Aside from maybe the chest piece

I'm at a point with her build where I only need 4 more speed to hit the 160 Break point

And I have 216 Crit Damage, so I think my current plan is to just replace the head piece with one that gives 4 Speed and at least 9% Crit Damage

And I'll be 100% done!

[fiery geyser]

Done?

Relic farming never ends

[rocky palm]

You can use sites like Fribbels if you want to get a more objective analysis

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, I think they're all pretty solid

[rocky palm]

Oh wait

HP rope

[wicked gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/kermit-handshake-agree-sure-gif-25504831

Me too

[shrewd plinth]

I still get her Ult pretty reliably because of the 10% ERR from Bronya's Lightcone

So it's cool

[rocky palm]

Nuh uh

[shrewd plinth]

yuh huh

[rocky palm]

Ehrm

Wtflip

[shrewd plinth]

[reef elm]

Does this site work for Genshin as well

[shrewd plinth]

Fribbel's is specifically for HSR

But Genshin has Enka Network and Akasha Terminal which function similarly

[fiery geyser]

I like that the best relic rating is WTF

[reef elm]

Fribbles the pet food brand

Or at least it sounds like one

[rocky palm]

WTF+ technically

My Boothill has one of those

They got the wrong one for the English Channel

[plain bluff]

"Due to recording arrangements, this video's audio will be Japanese. We apologize for any inconvenience caused."

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, her ENVA seems to have completely disappeared. She deleted/disabled all her social media pages the other day and hasn't been available for recordings, hence why Guinaifen replaced her in the EN Stream and they've had to use the JP audio for her trailers

[reef elm]

Dang

The comments are saying she encouraged people to boycott her employer

[shrewd plinth]

I won't say anything for certain, but it is unfortunate, especially with all the other ENVA problems going on recently

[fiery geyser]

I don’t think the timing of the VA strikes is helping rn either

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah

I think jing yuan’s VA mentioned it in relation to this stuff

[fiery geyser]

Yes

[rocky palm]

40% resist

[fiery geyser]

40%

[plain bluff]

even more impressive then

lol

[rocky palm]

It's fucking brutal for Acheron

JQ carry

Honestly sad about the Boothill run

[plain bluff]

aventurine ate all of my cycles

Boothill for aven seems painful

[rocky palm]

I tried to mirror someone for their 0-cycle e0s1

Was not able to do

Boothill actually annihilates Aventurine

[fiery geyser]

the stupid dice roll

[rocky palm]

Just not incredibly fast

He doesn't let aventurine play the game at all though

I think Aven got off two attacks total

[plain bluff]

oh

interesting

so you don't even have to deal with him

[rocky palm]

Did sustainless with RM Bronya Pela

yeah

Acheron side was my now default Gallagher Robin JQ

[plain bluff]

JQ seems so busted

[rocky palm]

He really is

2.5 ults per cycle

lol

[plain bluff]

lol

do you have his LC?

[rocky palm]

No

Heavily debating rolling for it ngl

I have high pity in lc banner, not planning to get anyone besides robin e1 next patch

[plain bluff]

might not be a bad idea

then

if you're committing to Acheron

[rocky palm]

I am, which I'm getting a little scared of

I've invested so heavily in her, really hoping she stays top dawg for a long time

[plain bluff]

even if she's not at the top, it'd be surprising if she was bad

but I guess that Jingliu is falling off

somewhat

so it could happen

Acheron's kit seems resilient, though

[rocky palm]

Apparently they (devs) said somewhere that they're planning to reduce the strength of new characters

According to random people on reddit

If that's true then I don't have much to worry about

[rocky palm]

Yeah, res pen on ult seems pretty fool proof

[plain bluff]

yep

she also scales with nihility units

which is great

if they ever make someone better than JQ

[rocky palm]

||Really hope she has synergy with new TY somehow||

[plain bluff]

hopefully

it'd be fairly hard to replace anyone on your team

though

outside of Gallagher

[rocky palm]

yeah

likely only JQ

I kind of expect him to get powercrept fairly soon

[plain bluff]

hopefully not this soon

considering Acheron is his main use case

[rocky palm]

Just feels like it's been the trend recently, char gets powercrept by female counterpart in 2-3 patches

lol

[plain bluff]

||Gallagher somehow managed to dodge it||

I don't know if her kit is a spoiler or not

was it shown?

[rocky palm]

The kit but not the numbers

Based on conversations people have had about it in here

[plain bluff]

ah

got it

[rocky palm]

Yeah imo unless you like Lingsha as a character there's really no big incentive to pull for her from a meta perspective if you have e6 gally already

they do the same stuff but gally is sp pos

[plain bluff]

he's also much cheaper

to get

[rocky palm]

yee

seen some gally mains talking about getting lingsha lc though

haven't really looked at it but it seems to be good for him

[plain bluff]

makes sense

[rocky palm]

Most random standard pull ever

[fiery geyser]

[rocky palm]

shrimply pull e6 TY rn

[reef elm]

Yey

I think tingyun was my second or third e6

[fiery geyser]

Not until a few days from now

[rocky palm]

is she on the next banner?

I didn't know that

[fiery geyser]

No, I mean I’m not pulling at all until then

[rocky palm]

ooo

[rocky palm]

[plain bluff]

not even standard (with free tickets)?

[fiery geyser]

[rocky palm]

I can't believe how broken gallagher actually is man

This character is fucking nuts lmao

[fiery geyser]

broken like

[rocky palm]

idk if he's as broken as HMC but he has to be up there

He fits in every single team it feels

and can fulfill any role

sp generator, energy generator, sustain, dps (needs HMC), break assister

[fiery geyser]

(it was a dumb break pun)

[rocky palm]

i figured but I didn't want to accept such a terrible joke

(sorry for calling it terrible, it did in fact make me laugh)

[fiery geyser]

[rocky palm]

Lost the LC again...

And to the same shit ass hunt one

[fiery geyser]

[plain bluff]

yanking strikes again

on a serious note,

[rocky palm]

very big

I've never lost on lc banner besides these last two (with guarantee in between) times

Suppose it was overdue

The last 14 ropes I've pulled, none of them have been attack

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1seuQXduts

For anyone interested, bear in mind this is technically a leak

[shrewd plinth]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail/comments/1f8o6ah/new_planar_sets_effects_revealed_in_hoyo_lab/

[rocky palm]

I'm so excited for Lushanka lmao

Set is fucking broken

It was originally 16% attack too

Banan is a bit weird, ig it's for Lingsha and JY?

actually what does target mean

[shrewd plinth]

If it does work for Jing Yuan then I'd imagine it also works for Topaz

[rocky palm]

oh yeah cause numby

wonder if it also works for Moze though, depending on how liberal target is

lost the 50/50

[shrewd plinth]

Damn

[stark salmon]

Damn

[muted tundra]

I do not look forward to playing this game anymore😭

[muted tundra]

I'm actually so upset wth

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, losing your first 50/50 on a character you really want sucks like hell

[muted tundra]

I might go full sunk cost mentality and try to save up for one more 10 pull until the banner goes away but man it sucks

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah...
Worst-case scenario though, you don't get Jane and all the pity you get goes towards the next character you pull for.

[muted tundra]

does the pity work for any S rank thing I get after initial 90 pull or does it work for only every 90 pulls

[shrewd plinth]

Getting an S-Rank of any kind completely resets you pity, so to get the guarantee you need to go up to 90. On average you should only need 80 pulls, but that's still a significant amount to get in 3 weeks

Alternatively, you just get lucky and get Jane early

[muted tundra]

resets the hard pity?

[shrewd plinth]

It completely resets it, meaning it goes back down to 0 and you'll need ~70 pulls before it starts to kick in again

[muted tundra]

not 90?

[shrewd plinth]

90's for the hard pity, aka the max number of pulls you can do before you have to get an S-Rank. ~70 is the soft pity, which is the number when your chance of getting an S-Rank slowly increases from the base value.

[muted tundra]

ok so everything resets after the first 90 and the guarantee comes into affect in the second 90

[shrewd plinth]

Yep

[muted tundra]

if nothing else, that can still be a really good off piece

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, for sure!

[shrewd plinth]

So, turns out that Furina was already using a pretty crap off-piece Goblet, so this is actually a really nice upgrade!

I've gotten it up to +18 and I'm currently only trading off ~4% Crit Rate for ~7% Crit Damage and ~11% ER

Plus some bonus EM which is alright

[fiery geyser]

[mortal osprey]

Now acquire as well so you can run a disorder comp and do 1 doeillion damage

[shrewd plinth]

Jane/Grace/Seth is actually a pretty cracked comp, so it'd 100% be worth the investment

The way I see it, Robin's next rerun is going to be ages away

Guys, I have an important question
How smart of an idea would it be to see if I can get both Black Swan and Lingsha?

[humble citrus]

what’s your pity/stash like

it’s feasible if you have something saved

[reef elm]

Nilou art!

[shrewd plinth]

I have around 60 pulls saved currently, but only 10 pity because of the whole "surprise E1 Sparkle" situation

Thing is, I want Lingsha more but I've also been wanting Black Swan as well since I really like her character. But now their banners are so close together, I'm not so sure...

[reef elm]

I kinda want black swan as well

[shrewd plinth]

I should probably also mention that I don't have any other DoT units aide from Gui or Sampo so I wouldn't really be able to make a good DoT team with her

[reef elm]

I mean… Acheron?

[rocky palm]

The real question is... do you have a DoT team to use BS in

[reef elm]

Or did you not pull for Acheron as well

[rocky palm]

Oh

[plain bluff]

"do you have Kafka"

[rocky palm]

You answered that in the time I spent typing that

[plain bluff]

DoT without her

is very subpar

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, I was thinking to go with Acheron

[rocky palm]

Yeah lol

[shrewd plinth]

But I'm not sure that's worth it

[plain bluff]

Pela is good enough

[rocky palm]

If you're trying to get a nihility support for Acheron just get JQ

[plain bluff]

or JQ

if you have him

[rocky palm]

He's literally broken lol

[plain bluff]

anyways, pull for your favorites

if you like BS

feel free to go for her

[shrewd plinth]

But then I might not be able to get Lingsha either

Ah well, I've got a few weeks to think about it. I'm sure I'll figure something out by then.

[plain bluff]

we're getting a bunch of pulls next patch

as well

[rocky palm]

Not to throw another decision at you, but do you have Robin?

[shrewd plinth]

Yep

And no, I don't want Jiaoqiu

[rocky palm]

Fair enough

[shrewd plinth]

The character comes before mechanical strength for me, and I think he's not overly interesting story-wise

[rocky palm]

I think most of BS usability is in Kafka team, unless you plan on getting Kafka I wouldn't really recommend going for her

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, that's fair

[plain bluff]

even then, Sampo is a decent replacement

especially if you have E4

BS is obviously better

but Sampo does the job

[rocky palm]

E6 sampo goes brrr

[shrewd plinth]

I do have E6 Sampo...

At least, I think I do

[plain bluff]

probably

I think that he was on Acheron's banner

[rocky palm]

He was

I got e10 sampo or something

[plain bluff]

my Sampo is still e4

[rocky palm]

Rolled him so many times

[plain bluff]

lol

[rocky palm]

Has he had a return since Acheron?

[shrewd plinth]

He wasn't, it was Gallagher/Pela/Dan Heng

[plain bluff]

I got e20 gallagher

though

[rocky palm]

Then he was on Sparkle banner?

[shrewd plinth]

Yup

[plain bluff]

that'd make sense

he's been free a few times as well

[rocky palm]

That's even more wacky then

[shrewd plinth]

That was the last banner he was on, actually

[rocky palm]

Cause I got an early sparkle

[plain bluff]

you did?

I thought that you failed pity

[rocky palm]

So i somehow got e6 sampo in a sport number of pulls

[plain bluff]

but it's been a while

[rocky palm]

Oh wait

You right

I lost to welt

[plain bluff]

I remember going double pity on her

lol

[rocky palm]

But got sparkle after that pretty fast I think

It has been about 7 months tho

[plain bluff]

can't believe it's been that long

[rocky palm]

[reef elm]

Eula

[rocky palm]

I'm going for e1 Robin e0 Feixiao probably

No guarantee so I have to get lucky

[plain bluff]

are you going for Robin first?

[rocky palm]

Yee

[wicked gazelle]

should get feixiao first ngl

[rocky palm]

I'm of the opinion now that Robin > RM

[rocky palm]

Dps doesn't have as much value as support

[wicked gazelle]

yeah but

shes cooler

[rocky palm]

Ehrm

Nuh uh

Also in an interview the devs said Robin ult is getting changed

Hopefully to have more songs

[plain bluff]

hopefully they allow you to mute her singing but keep music on

[rocky palm]

Why would I want to do that

Robin has the best singing

[reef elm]

Welcome to my world

[shrewd plinth]

My current pull plan, visualised

I spent way too much time on this

aaaaand I just realised that I missed the 's' at the end of questions...

[jaunty badger]

https://vxtwitter.com/drawbuster/status/1832542337563857248

[humble citrus]

kings ha is likely to get another rerun before BS, if that helps your decision making

i myself am in a similar situation where i want both kafka and feixiao

but i’m gonna pull for kafka bc idk when she’s gonna get another rerun

[fiery geyser]

yah

[plain bluff]

lc too?

[fiery geyser]

Prolly not, I got lucky with s5 swordplay so I’ll stick with that 4 now

and get herta LC if necessary

[plain bluff]

got it

[rocky palm]

I have lc guarantee but there's no way I'll have enough jades

[plain bluff]

are you going for e2?

[rocky palm]

I probably won't have enough to even get a second 5* being fr

https://tenor.com/view/aventurine-star-rail-i-love-gambling-roulette-gif-15600735931808948001

e2 seems so unnecessary for her gonna be honest

[plain bluff]

it is

[rocky palm]

these showcases are all e0s1

[plain bluff]

her LC provides better value

[rocky palm]

and she's annihilating content

[plain bluff]

it's just the most significant eidolon

she honestly benefits a lot more from her teammates being good

[rocky palm]

yeah

that's part of the reason i'm going for robin e1

[fiery geyser]

can’t believe she needs teammates to do any damage at all, truly the lacking general

[plain bluff]

at least she does damage

unlike a certain other general

[fiery geyser]

💀

~~also wait, I was ironically hate posting ~~

[fiery geyser]

[fiery geyser]

how did it go?

[reef elm]

i got xueyi

the jingiu team is fun but doesnt do much damage

also why is kafka so hard to kill

[fiery geyser]

by any chance did you use acheron?

[reef elm]

yes

[fiery geyser]

kafka has 40% lightning res by default lol

[reef elm]

oh

i see

[fiery geyser]

so acheron is gonna struggle hard vs. her

you might have a better time if you switch sides

jingliu vs kafka and Acheron vs. doom beast

[reef elm]

might try that for the third stage

[rocky palm]

Or get JQ and don't care about Kafka's 40% res...

My Acheron outperformed Boothill on both sides though 💀

Please give Boothill a dedicated support Hoyo

[reef elm]

i wish i hsd won the fifty fifty

[reef elm]

Probably won’t work since that team can’t break her tho

[rocky palm]

so you're running Jing on AB?

[reef elm]

Abyssal beast yeah

Wonder when we’ll get the next traditional dps

[fiery geyser]

Hypercarry will never exist again

[reef elm]

when all the characters do damage it's far more stable and less likely to be made obselete

Robin's e1 is essentially a 24% damage buff

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUvR51qjt6Y

[rocky palm]

Ik this is for Moze, but I'm expecting that we'll be getting another lightning unit in the near future bc of this

Looks really cool though

[shrewd plinth]

My guess is that it's gonna be for the character that releases in the same patch as Rappa

[rocky palm]

There's a character releasing with Rappa?

I thought she was by herself

[shrewd plinth]

I mean in the 2nd half, unless they don't have any new characters then for whatever reason

[rocky palm]

They didn't tease anyone

It was only Rappa afaik

So I'm pretty sure she's getting the whole patch to herself

[shrewd plinth]

I know, but I'm saying they may be holding off on the reveal for whatever reason

[rocky palm]

It's possible

seems pretty unlikely imo though

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah

It just feels weird to me that there's only a single new character released in a single patch

[rocky palm]

I do have some additional information regarding why she might be by herself if you want to hear it

Though it's not confirmed

[shrewd plinth]

Nah, It's cool

[rocky palm]

It has nothing to do with the character or anything in-game fyi

don't want to mislead you into thinking rappa's some elden god or something lol

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, I know

[rocky palm]

36 hours to patch...

also is it normally at 4pm? Feels later than usual

4pm for me ig

[shrewd plinth]

It might be because they're releasing it a day earlier than normal

So they're releasing it later to compensate

[rocky palm]

ah okay

i thought that was weird too, cause I swear I usually do my rolls on a wednesday

you made any decisions regarding BS?

[shrewd plinth]

Nope

It's still a solid maybe

[rocky palm]

feixiao is the devil on my angel tempting me

have almost 0 jades to my name but ~60 pity

no guarantee

rolling for Robin e1 and if i don't get it...

[fiery geyser]

You do not need Robin e1

[rocky palm]

ehrm

but i do

[fiery geyser]

nuh uh

[rocky palm]

but it's the better choice from a pure strength perspective

[shrewd plinth]

I have the exact opposite problem, only 10 pity but ~60 pulls

[rocky palm]

also imagine if I get Robin e1 and Feixiao

[fiery geyser]

Yeah for sure, it’s a busted eidolon

but you’d be sacrificing fei

(for now)

[rocky palm]

probably

although...

[fiery geyser]

[rocky palm]

i do still have the bonus jades on the $100 package

would be insane but i could sacrifice one paycheck for it.... maybe

[fiery geyser]

[rocky palm]

if i win the 50/50 on Robin though that's probably not worth

cause i'd be spending $100 to do another 50/50

I'll need to think about this more

early robin, early feixiao, please

[fiery geyser]

I think it’s possible

We are getting those 10 free tickets

[rocky palm]

15 technically

10 tickets + 800 jades I think?

unless i'm misremembering

as long as the usual ~80 pulls are in the patch, I have a chance

[fiery geyser]

I thought it was 10 tickets, 10 fuel, and 150 of those tear material thingies

[rocky palm]

Hmmm

That does sound right

I have no idea then

10 fuel is pretty huge though

[fiery geyser]

[rocky palm]

[west meteor]

https://rxddit.com/r/AcheronMainsHSR/s/dAmMU43DQq

[shrewd plinth]

It's 1000 Jades, 10 Fuel and 150 of the subsitute materials

So ~6 pulls

[rocky palm]

Ooo

And then there's the ten for odyssey

That's where the 15 came from

[muted tundra]

for genshin, if two different characters' banners I equally want are running at the same time is it better to pull on the new character or the the one that's getting the rerun

[reef elm]

Depends on if it’s an archon

If it’s an old character and not an archon it’s gonna be a long time before they get a rerun

[shrewd plinth]

It depends. I think the best way is to go for Supports over DPS characters, as Limited Supports tend to be more universal

For example, Kazuha is arguably the best and most universal support in the game currently

Compared to Mualani, who's a DPS focused around the Vaporise reaction, he's gonna be more useful in the long run

[humble citrus]

he also looks cool and is a chill guy

[shrewd plinth]

[humble citrus]

i wish umbrella sword was his optimal weapon

it fits so well

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah...

It's still a solid option though, since it's gives EM

[muted tundra]

for context the characters I'm talking about are hu tao and xilonen

[shrewd plinth]

There's no official info on what Xilonen does yet, so I can't really comment on that

But Hu Tao is a pretty solid DPS

Though she can be a bit tricky to play well from what I've heard

[muted tundra]

from what I can gather this game's endgame content is doable with like somewhat subpar characters?

and besides there's a lot of time before my account should worry about that stuff

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, for sure

[muted tundra]

so I'm not super fixated on pulling for meta characters rn

[reef elm]

Kazuha causes alot of screen clutter

[humble citrus]

in general, having the right gear and good rotations is what allows people to clear endgame content

[reef elm]

Hu taos play style is annoying to many people

[humble citrus]

not necessarily characters

[shrewd plinth]

It depends on what Endgame you're doing.
If it's just Spiral Abyss, you only need 2 coherant teams with decent investment and you'll be able to clear pretty reliably.
If it's Imaginarium Theatre, then that's a little harder to do with a new account since you need a bunch of low-mid investment characters

[humble citrus]

simply pull for zhongli /s

[muted tundra]

but you can still use a mid tier 5* DPS character with solid off-field characters right?

[shrewd plinth]

Yup

[wicked gazelle]

Nice!

[muted tundra]

so what I'm saying is that I'm not super optimal teams as of now

and I'm somewhat more motivated to pull for sentimental reasons

[reef elm]

There was that YouTuber who speedrun floor 12 with like diluc

[shrewd plinth]

If you wanna pull and you think it'll be a good investment, then go for it

Out of curiosity though, what are your teams currently?

[muted tundra]

the only team I'm running are the ones I got from the beginners banner😭

so traveler, Fischl, Xianling and Noelle

[shrewd plinth]

Ah, gotcha

[muted tundra]

also got Bennet and Chongyun at the backup

[shrewd plinth]

Xiangling, Bennet and Fischl are all really good 4 stars

And the Dendro Element for the Traveller is also really good

So you've got a solid lineup currently

If you want a team to aim for early on, then maybe you could go for a Lisa Aggravate team consisting of Lisa/Fischl/DMC/Flex (Ideally some form of sustain, or additional support)

[muted tundra]

FEH poisoned my mind on gacha games

so many of the character just gets powercrept after less than a year

and it mostly happens just after they get a rerun

like, I had to seriously rewire my thinking so I could wrap my head around a launch character staying meta after 4 years

[shrewd plinth]

Oh yeah, Hoyo games are pretty good with that

For example, all the Year 1 DPS characters can still easily clear current endgame content with good teams and investment

It also helps that new characters that release have a chance to indirectly buff other characters because of what they do

[humble citrus]

sometimes in less than a month

year 1 units in feh are comically underpowered compared to modern ones

if your character doesn’t have 2 pages or more worth of effects it’s not meta (kinda /s but also not)

[shrewd plinth]

A good example of this is Xianyun's release, which made Xiao go from a mid-high tier DPS to the core of one of the top 5 teams in the game currently. She also made Diluc go from kinda yikes to actually pretty good as well.

[shrewd plinth]

It'd definitely be a good option for Jiaoqiu, but I think S5 Eyes of the Prey would be better in the long run
