If anything I'd say the character Hoyo has really been trying to kill is Feixiao

plain bluff
#

Anaxa is better Feixiao

#

at this point

wicked gazelle
#

nikador gives me so much trouble

plain bluff
#

despite the hypercarry nerfs

#

he's also 10000% more versatile

rocky palm
#

Part of it is definitely erudition being the infection of HSR rn

reef elm
#

Nikador is why I’m getting hyacine

#

Or attempting to get

rocky palm
#

I'm so sick of it, despite it being amazing for Acheron

#

It's just not fun

plain bluff
#

THerta shilling will never end

#

at least Phainon might lead to some single-target content

rocky palm
plain bluff
#

or content with less enemies

rocky palm
#

He's literal chow food for her

plain bluff
#

Cas obliterates Nikador

#

as well

rocky palm
#

Nikador was definitely shill for Aglaea but he still works great for most every team

wicked gazelle
#

yeah shes who i used

plain bluff
#

the hp drain is so nice

rocky palm
#

Break teams have the worst time with that fight imo

wicked gazelle
#

btw

#

this whole triple relic event

rocky palm
#

I hope one of the new harmony characters will be a BiS for Aglaea

#

as an aside

wicked gazelle
#

0 usable speed pieces

rocky palm
#

literally 0 good relics

plain bluff
#

triple relic event -> triple relic xp event

rocky palm
#

pretty much

wicked gazelle
#

ive gotten good relics

#

that cant be used for like any character for me

plain bluff
#

I love def mainstat cd cr substat pieces

wicked gazelle
#

Aventurine piece

plain bluff
#

unviable character

wicked gazelle
#

HP meta

plain bluff
#

not good with cas

#

0/10

wicked gazelle
#

wydm

#

hes on my cas team

plain bluff
wicked gazelle
#

he helps my team stay alive from her health drain

rocky palm
#

i wish i could've used the event to farm for phainon

#

although it's kind of unclear what stats he wants rn

wicked gazelle
#

and so the dragon doesnt die cause it uses its own health

#

very silly imo

humble citrus
#

how is qingque compared to newer characters? outdated i assume

rocky palm
#

insanely outdated

humble citrus
#

Im thinking of doing a QQ/Jade/sparkle team

rocky palm
#

There might be some crackhead who still does 0-cycles with her somewhere

#

Probably e6 Sparkle though

plain bluff
#

weren't people saying that Archer could consume SP to enhance his skill

#

the modern-era QQ

wicked gazelle
#

and yeah

humble citrus
#

look i need a quantum DPS

wicked gazelle
#

5* QQ most likely

rocky palm
#

Going to do a psychology test real quick

What is your first reaction upon seeing this image

plain bluff
#

I never realized how weird that light looks

#

it looks like a caterpillar

humble citrus
wicked gazelle
rocky palm
#

it is indeed a whale

plain bluff
#

it represents the HSR playerbase

rocky palm
#

so far we're 0/3 on what I wanted to hear

plain bluff
rocky palm
#

My first thought would be "my goat pompom is sad, i must go make him happy"

plain bluff
#

you talk to pompom?

humble citrus
#

actually real talk; should i go for Xueyi/Fugue/Sparkle/Lynx or the previous team i mentioned earlier

wicked gazelle
#

are you looking for "oh boy 20 jades maybe"

rocky palm
#

every day

#

it's wild that Cipher got nerfed and fat fuck is doing 200k still

plain bluff
#

whatever sounds more fun

#

to be completely honest

#

neither is very meta

#

so it's more so a matter of enjoyment

wicked gazelle
#

in all honesty, sparkle may get buffed in some way

plain bluff
#

aren't they making an alternate form for her

#

I remember seeing something about that

#

I think Archer could synergize well with Sparkle

rocky palm
#

/s

#

but also

plain bluff
rocky palm
#

/srs

plain bluff
#

I wish I could clone him

rocky palm
plain bluff
#

exactly

#

both Cas and Anaxa want him

#

but only one can have him

wicked gazelle
rocky palm
#

Small chance ||Cerydra is sunday-esque||

wicked gazelle
#

um

plain bluff
#

chances are that I just go for Tribbie

#

and run the actual Cas team

#

instead of being poor and using Sunday

wicked gazelle
#

sunday good

#

pls

#

trust

plain bluff
#

Sunday isn't as good as Tribbie

#

I can say this from personal experience

wicked gazelle
#

true

plain bluff
#

he messes up dragon sequencing

#

and his ult is super finnicky

#

with cas

rocky palm
#

I was thinking of gambling for Cipher still

#

Just cause I want to get her

wicked gazelle
#

me too

humble citrus
rocky palm
#

But I can't guarantee e2s1 Phainon

wicked gazelle
#

she still seems not bad for acheron

rocky palm
#

And after Phainon I would have to worry about Cerydra

wicked gazelle
#

worse than jq

plain bluff
rocky palm
#

She's probably still better than JQ for Acheron

plain bluff
#

or are those confirmed to use a different currencyu

rocky palm
#

But not by enough to justify getting Cipher if you have JQ

wicked gazelle
#

welp

rocky palm
plain bluff
#

for the fate collab

#

the tickets you get

#

from playing it

rocky palm
#

We're getting tickets?

plain bluff
#

I assume we'll get a good amount

rocky palm
#

oh

plain bluff
#

isn't it an event

#

I think we'll get currency

rocky palm
#

Yeah, I included those calculations mostly

wicked gazelle
plain bluff
#

ah

#

got it

rocky palm
#

Okay ig I do have Phainon e2s1 guarantee now

plain bluff
#

it's not guaranteed

rocky palm
#

u right

#

😔

#

wait

#

if i go for cipher

#

Still 94% chance

#

hmm

#

Or I could go for e4 Aglaea

fiery geyser
#

Still not a guarantee

plain bluff
rocky palm
#

it's close enough

plain bluff
#

but there's an FGO player

#

who spent upwards of 3k SQ to get a character

#

for context

#

a 10 pull is 30 SQ

rocky palm
#

300 pulls

plain bluff
rocky palm
#

pity 330 right

#

oop

plain bluff
#

no

#

it's 1000 pulls

#

lol

rocky palm
#

why even add it

wicked gazelle
#

same thing happened in genshin kinda sorta

#

iirc there was no guarantee if you lost the 50/50 on the weapon banner

plain bluff
#

my bad

#

he spent 3000 pulls

#

the pity is like

#

330

#

but getting there

#

takes some truly awful luck

rocky palm
plain bluff
#

it's more of a consolation prize than anything

#

so

#

if 330 pulls to get a 5* takes awful luck

#

imagine how unlucky you have to be

#

for 1000

rocky palm
#

wild

plain bluff
#

it doesn't help that the character he was going for

#

is arguably the best character in the game

Oh no if so

wtf, a hydro 4 star

#

shrewd plinth
#

LET'S GO!

#

Now we just have to hope that he's a good Hydro 4 star

fiery geyser
#

please be good somehow

fiery geyser
#

no offense to Candace, but how is the last good 4 star hydro still Xingqiu

shrewd plinth
#

Yeah...

#

It'd be funny if he ends up being Barbara but better, considering he's the Deacon of the church

fiery geyser
shrewd plinth
#

I could also see him being a freeze support, or a solid off-field Hydro for AoE

#

Since, despite all the really good off-field Hydro appliers we have, the only solid one is Kokomi

shrewd plinth
#

Oh, and Ayato, I guess

Oh, he could also be our first Hydro shielder. Something like Layla but Hydro.

shrewd plinth
fiery geyser
#

Ima laugh if he’s also claymore somehow

#

first 4 star hydro claymore

shrewd plinth
#

My guess is that he's gonna be either Catalyst or Polearm, leaning more towards Catalyst because of the book he's holding in the splash art

fiery geyser
#

Ooh, good call

#

rip though 6whyyyy

shrewd plinth
#

Yeah...

#

If that's true though, he could be a good on-fielder for Hyperbloom KizunaAiSmug

#

Also, because of Dahlia, we now have everyone from the silhouettes revealed!

fiery geyser

I wonder what they'll do for 5.8. My guess is either pure reruns or a new unrevealed character.

You could do Neuvi/Furina/Sucrose/Kuki, since that'd be a pretty solid team.

here's my wuwa id for people in the EU server

humble citrus
west meteorBOT
shrewd plinth
#

I've got a couple HSR questions about my eventual Big Hat Herta team's builds.

  • Would a Crit-focused, 4pc Pioneer Aventurine be better than Lingsha with a team of Big Hat Herta/Serval (Battery Build)/RMC/Sustain?
    Currently my Aventurine can reach over/close to 100% Crit Rate depending on the number of debuffs on the enemy, and the team gives a fuck ton of team-wide Crit Damage buffs so I was wondering if his personal damage would be better than the few extra Herta stacks that Lingsha would give. It'd also save me from having to farm a new build for Lingsha.

  • Would it be better to focus on hitting speed breakpoints on Herta or getting good Crit Stats?
    Currently I have Relics that have her running at base speed (104) with 92.3% Crit Rate (Including Izumo) and 123.8% Crit Damage before buffs, but I was wondering if it'd be better to keep trying to get relics that allow to her hit a specific speed breakpoint, even if I have to sacrifice some Crit.

fiery geyser
shrewd plinth
#

Awesome, thanks!

fiery geyser

#

Also, for a bit of fun, I did some maths
My Aventurine would have a Crit Ratio of 102.9/279.5 after all in-combat buffs are considered.

#

I brought alhaitham into the second side because of the disorder bonus

#

uhh…

💀

shrewd plinth
#

Oh...

#

My guess is that 2nd side buff is meant for Emilie, who's likely getting a rerun next patch

#

Which makes extra sense, since Burning is good against the Abyss flowers

fiery geyser
#

and Kinich also

shrewd plinth
#

That too, yeah

fiery geyser

since he wants to burn anyways

And he shreds tf out of tenebros

fiery geyser

Prolly got carried by the disorder again but

shrewd plinth
#

Nice!

fiery geyser
#

Escoffier is legitimately ridiculous

shrewd plinth
#

Yup!

#

I used her on the 1st side with Neuvi, Furina and Layla and absolutely shredded

#

The fact that the whole of the 1st side aside from PMA is freezable probably helps, to be fair, but it's still nuts she provides as much as she does by just doing EQ

fiery geyser
#

yeah…

fiery geyser
shrewd plinth
#

Hopefully we get a support that actually makes the Freeze reaction good, and not get a repeat of Overload where the reaction is just used to get some buffs

fiery geyser
#

Or a base reaction buff

#

Maybe not against regular enemies, but something against bosses at least

shrewd plinth
#

Yeah...
Honestly, all they need to do is make it so the Freeze aura stays even if the actual effect is resisted

That'd make all of the current Freeze teams way better

#

asking for teambuilding advice in Genshin, if a team has Kazuha as BIS can you reliably slot in Sucrose or Lynette for those teams?

shrewd plinth
#

Mostly, yeah. Kazuha just has better grouping than Sucrose, and gives a 36% DMG bonus so your overall damage will be lower, but any Anemo character works to get the Shred

#

Sucrose is generally preferred due to better grouping than other Anemo 4 stars, though Lan Yan is also a really good option if you have her

So, I'm looking through the news for the upcoming DU update.
I feel like these new Weighted Curios have some interesting implications for Phainon, Saber & Archer

divergent-universe-protean-hero-version-3-3-updates-v0-76ysab9q7o1f1.png
#

My guesses are:

  • Footstep of the Gods is for Phainon, though it could work for Saber as well
  • Memory of the Stars is 100% for Saber, since it'd make sense if she's a high-energy cost Ult-focused character
  • Simple Judgement I guess is for Archer? Not sure what Nihility character would go with him though
  • Self-Amusement might be for Phainon if he has a Counter of some sort, though it could just be for Clara and Yunli
  • Sapient Pen is really interesting, since I think it implies that Archer & Saber could be played on the same team. It also implies that Archer might be a Skill-focused DPS that uses a lot of SP.
  • No idea who Love-Seeking Golden Dart is for, possibly Mono-Ice/Lightning character in the future?

He might

shrewd plinth
#

JQ's only stuck to Acheron since he has valuable buffs and unparalelled Debuff application for Acheron, so I doubt it. Though he could be.
Saber's probably gonna run a team like: excaliber/Sunday or Bronya or Sparkle/Second Harmony or SubDPS/Sustain

fault on the US government for not specifying all of their games

It's like suing Google and then levying requirements against all of Alphabet co.

Can't really speak for Caelus

#

Will also say though that these voice lines are not great for indicating any changes

#

Since they're presumably lines from the book, which is more serious and old English-y than normal dialogue

shrewd plinth
#

Yeah, true

#

I'd imagine they'd have the new VAs voice the combat lines for RMC, since they're completely unvoiced aside from Mem, so those could be a good comparison point

rocky palm
#

Dan Heng is also probably getting replaced if I had to guess

#

Unlikely that Himeko gets replaced, probably not Kafka or Firefly either

I would assume it's the case for the other VA's as well

#

It's really hard to say though when none of them even acknowledge the situation

shrewd plinth
#

To be fair though, it's probably best that they don't with how messy it is right now

#

At least there's signs of it ending some time soon, so hopefully things will get better sooner rather than later

rocky palm
#

have there been signs?

shrewd plinth
#

SAG presented their 'final offer' live on stream a little while ago

#

Though I've not heard anything beyond that

rocky palm
#

oh

#

that might not mean anything for Hoyo is the issue

#

The strike isn't on Hoyo, the reason why VA's haven't been working is bc of global rule 1 re-enforcement

#

So even after SAG "simmers down" so to speak, nothing might be resolved as far as old VA's returning

shrewd plinth
#

Yeah, though before the strike SAG was extremely lax on enforcing that rule. While I doubt things would go back to how they were, but if things quiet down and the strike slowly comes to an end, they'll likely ease back up on it again. Though, that may just be me being a little too optimistic.

rocky palm
#

that's what i'm getting at basically

#

I just don't see them immediately easing up again

#

So after the strike is done, it may be another 3-4 months at least before they start "relaxing" again

#

though it's pure guesswork from me

shrewd plinth
#

Oh, yeah, for sure. I'm not saying it'll happen immediately, that's just unrealistic. I'm more saying that as things die down, they'll fall back into bad habits so to speak at the same time and at the same pace.

rocky palm
#

At that point though, we might not have any union VA's left to return...

#

At least not in HSR

#

Idk the situation as well for Genshin

shrewd plinth
#

Yeah...

rocky palm
#

LET'S GOOOOOOO

#

I'm so glad it'll be permanent this time

shrewd plinth
# rocky palm Idk the situation as well for Genshin

It's been a mix overall. Kinich is the only VA that's been recast, but so far we've had a lot of fan-favourite VAs from Fontaine return, though there's still a lot of missing voices from Mondstadt in the recent Archon Quest.

I LOVE CAELUS VA THATS MY GOAT I LOVE HEARING HIM SPEAK

#

AND THE LIKE HOT BABY SITTER/OLDER SISTER VOICE FROM STELLA

#

They better cook with the new VA’s

#

I’ll never forgive them for what they did to my girl Tingyun

#

Also is it just me or does anyone else find it of a bit of a scummy business practice to not have pity from the regular five star banner carried to the fate banner so you have to save as much as you can and if you don’t get it from your savings of pulls you’re basically forced to swipe if you want the characters

#

Maybe WUWA just spoils me

#

Idk it just kinda rubs me wrong

#

Like you already made a shit ton of money from genshin this game and ZZZ why can’t you just like do something nice for the fans for once and it would be really cool for the people who are fans of both franchises

#

Like it’s a small thing surely it’s not too much trouble

#

I’m sure the CN playerbase which is majority of your income wouldn’t have an issue with it

#

And they’ll still spend hella money anyways for the light cone and maxing out the eidolons

#

Like I said idk it feels like something that shouldn’t be okay but to the community it is but I feel like people shouldn’t let the corporate walk over their playerbase like that

rocky palm
#

HSR has added price conversion!

shrewd plinth
#

Nice!
It's kinda nuts how much more worth it the monthly pass is over other options...

fiery geyser

The packs give way more if you need them asap, but it’s always better to get the pass if you buy anything

shrewd plinth
#

Yep!
It's pretty interesting to see it put into perspective like this.

fiery geyser
#

And maybe a bit painful too

shrewd plinth
#

...Yeah

rocky palm
#

There's also a disclaimer at the top of the pulling page now

#

says "using only oneiric shards, characters can range in price from $2 to $425 (roughly) depending on the packs you buy"

shrewd plinth
#

Oh yeah, Genshin has a similar thing on it’s banners, though only in the US servers.

#

It really goes to show how good saving is

#

U can’t say “oh it’s because it’s a collab banner its different”

humble citrus
#

Like, this is the most obvious workaround since this game has pity that carries over

#

in gacha’s with sparking it’s whatever since each banner has its own pity counter

#

If they really wanted to be scummy about it they could introduce a new currency that’s collab exclusive.

#

is that even legal?

Basically, ||at end of 3.3 Therta and Screwllum show up and talk about Amphoreus. They reveal that the dawn device is likely nothing like what we thought it was, and it is actually one of the scepters left behind by Rubert II. Meaning, one of the scepters that is responsible for calculating and applying the anti-organic equation. This then ties back to the lore of one of the Lord Ravager's, Iron Tomb, who is now theorized to be a digital entity that is spread across multiple of these scepters, and was trapped within Amphoreus long ago. The reason for the infinite cycles may be to contain Iron Tomb and prevent them from escaping. It is very likely that Phainon either combines with, kills and consumes, or takes control of the scepter as part of his acension to possess all 12 coreflames. How the flame reaver fits into all of this isn't especially clear at the moment||

#

You can see ||in his ult ending animation that he reforms his domain into the (fallen) dawn device (explained in 3.3)||

@shrewd plinth I have to ask you a question regarding the patch

#

||What was your takeaway on Cipher and Aglaea's relationship?||

shrewd plinth
#

||To me, it felt like a one-sided romantic relationship that Cipher either didn't want to or couldn't reciprocate. Aglaea clearly had a level of affection for Cipher, but I think Cipher felt like she wasn't "good enough" or something along those lines, so she didn't pursue the relationship||

rocky palm
#

||Cipher blushing in her final moments with "Aglaea" felt about as confirmed ship as I thought it could get||

||Oh, that's actually a really cool idea. Though if it's true, then I'd imagine it'd be just Aede since the full name of the town, Aedes Elysiae, pluralises both their names||
