She's not that hard to play, you just need to think of her rotation as E > NA > Plunge > E > NA > Plunge > Q > Repeat

And when you don't have skills, use her CA instead
reef elm
Yeah I just jump plunge q and hope hoyo build gives me her ult thingy

I mess up trying to use the plunge that uses energy
Yeah, getting that down takes a bit of practice
The easiest way is just to pay attention to her skill icon. You get her Mini-burst after using the free skill/the one that doesn't consume charges

50% of record to targeted enemy, 25% to each enemy on the side
and if you target fewer than 3, all extra damage goes to the main target
so 75% middle 25% side in 2 target, 100% middle in 1 target
i think
ooo wait
nah it should be evenly distributed
so 25 + 75/2 for middle, 75/2 for side in 2 target
still extremely good

are their NDAās no longer in effect?
were they official NDA's?
I assumed the VA's were just choosing not to out themselves in roles bc of the guild
Also I learned that SAG is classified as a guild, not a union, so i will no longer be calling it a union

Well
Iām not sure ima be able to cower it
Unless heās in one shot range which isnāt likely

Oh yeah, 100%
I just looked at it before logging out, but it's buffs are:
Use Mavuika or Skirk on the first side
Use Cryo Normal Attackers (Skirk, Wriothesley and sorta Ayaka) on the second side
And the Cryo Natlan Machine thing is on the second side as well
shrewd plinth
Yeah...
Also also, the big Yumkasaur is on the first side, so you ideally want some sorta Pyro too

At least the skirk emphasis means more ganyu showtime
shrewd plinth
Kinda, I guess...
Problem is not all the enemies are Freezable, so I'm gonna be losing out on a bunch of Crit Rate with my current build
I wonder if at this point it's more beneficial to run Ganyu on Marrachausse insted of Blizzard Strayer
Since her team uses Furina
I'd only be losing out on 4% Crit rate and 20% Cryo Damage, but it'd be more consistent across more content

Especially since they seem to be pushing Freeze as an enabler, not a core reaction, like they did with Overload and Chev

Yeah
fiery geyser
If itās applicable, enemies literally donāt do anything and especially with escoffier, those teams can just murder them
kinda like when Morgana became a thing (Mona, Ganyu, Venti, Diona)

I'll have to see about reworking my Ganyu Build, since she's my only solid Cryo DPS at the moment
I have a bunch of Marachausse peices on hand from when I farmed Golden Troupe for Escoffier, so hopefully I'll be able to work things out

Based off of the DU blessings and her being nihility, bleed DOT is not off the table

And there is potentially a harmony character being revealed tomorrow...

To be fair, DoT may see a bit of a resurgance like when Black Swan released because of her plus buffed Kafka...But it still doesn't fix DoT's main problem...

If not, all the stuff will be in this chat when you get up!

It's definitely possible since we've just gotten both Herta and Aglaea, but there's still characters from late 2.x that haven't gotten a rerun yet
So I'd imagine they'd go for those first
shrewd plinth
Rappa, and I think Sunday as well
shrewd plinth
I hope we get some new good Break supports eventually, so I make my Rappa kick ass even more
She's super fun to play
Also her ult animation is still one of my favourites in the game
It's so pretty

FTJ6CVTULSXP
New Trailblaze Mission!
Spoilered because holy fuck Phainon, what happened to you
Also, I just want to mention that, amidst my freakout, I saw that Robin was using a Command Spell. So the theory about Penacony characters being the Masters looks to be true.
Big update to As I've Written, the Amphoreus Book
Skip dialogue is being added, using it will show a summary and the main characters involved in the scene
New big Myriad Celestia will be releasing soon
A new animated short will be releasing as well, with it's own unique theme music
New character: Phainon
New Area: ||Aedes Elysiae||
latent blade
Acheron technique power creep from Phainon
shrewd plinth
Phainon Kit TL;DR
Phainon collects coreflames using his skill or being targeted by an ally ability. These coreflames allow him to use his Ult
After using his ult, he creates a territory and then solos the enemies. His new ult form gives him 3 skills. Ally buffs applied prior to transformation persist to the end of it (?)
After using all his actions, he explodes and his form ends
His technique is an AoE version of Acheron's technique, but it consumes 2 points
Phainon being in the team increases the Technique point cap by 3
Silver Wolf Buffs
AoE Ult
Weakness Priority based on team order and more energy
Kafka Buffs
Skill triggers more DoTs
FUA triggers on any attack and can trigger DoTs
Ult refreshes FUA
Blade Buffs
HP Scaling
More Energy, FUAs and Energy
Jingliu Buffs
HP Scaling
More Crit Damage Buffs
More Syzygy which means special state last longer
They also have Eidolon buffs
You can also switch between the old and new versions freely

ah
shrewd plinth
Holy Grail War Participants:
Trailblazer, Robin, Aventurine, Boothill, Saber, Archer & Lancer
Events starts July 11th!
No ENVA for Saber
She looks cool as hell, holy fuck
latent blade
EN VA is Pro Union, but that was recently "wrapped up" so we could see her EN VA, if what I heard of Archer's VA I unno if we'll see him 
shrewd plinth
Yeah, I know. I was kinda hoping they get someone new though, since that could be cool
latent blade
3.5 for real for real, especially since || This collab banner is apparently set to run for multiple patches , from what I've heard at least*||
shrewd plinth
Saber Kit TL;DR
An Ult-focused DPS that gains stacks that give energy through her actions and allies using Ult
She AAs herself if she has enough Energy + stacks to use her Ult
No ENVA for Archer either
latent blade
Holy shit the Legendary Galactic Baseballer Archer
shrewd plinth
HOLY SHIT
ARCHER SAID THE THING
Also, the fact he just explodes the enemy by just blasting 'em with Caladbolg II is insane
Archer Kit TL;DR
A skill-focused DPS that EATS through SP. UBW is just a big nuke, no territory
Archer has a FUA that restores SP after allies attack
Free Archer
ANOTHER Free Limited 5 Star confirmed for later this year
Free mateirals for Archer
Fate Banners
Man, those Lightcone arts are really cool
HOLY SHIT
Banners will run past 3.6, no confirmed final date yet
FREE ARCHER LIGHTCONE
YOUR HONOUR, IT'S PEAK
3rd Code!
DTJ7CVACLBGF
latent blade
"Free" but aye thats somethin at least
Just go get Saber e0s1 and get a free e0s1 Archer LC for your trouble lol
shrewd plinth
I already have 300 pulls saved for Saber, so I'll take a free lightcone
The fact that the banners will last for several patches is kinda wild though
Basically guarantess that you can get E6
latent blade
Makes up for the separate pity counts
shrewd plinth
Yeah, for sure
Fate Event art
Looks like a Tournament-based Combat event that has Trial Characters
Also looks like it has some Roguelike Mechanics
Also is that fucking Avalon as a event reward!?
fiery geyser
@humble citrus
ehrm ackshually 
Everyone on the team needs to have 75% EHR
shrewd plinth
And it's over
holy fuck
I am dying from hype
The fact that the Fate banners will last beyond 3.6 is fucking crazy to me though
Like, holy shit
Guess I'm gonna get E6 Saber, huh
Unless one of the upcoming characters is really good for her
Looks like we'll get to choose which languague Saber & Archer speak in version 3.5 and beyond
https://www.rxddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail/comments/1lg297t/voiceover_languages_for_the_current_collaboration/
shrewd plinth
I mean, with the banners running as long as they are, I may as well
I'll plan around new characters and reruns still, but if there aren't any characters I want in any given version, I'll just get more Sabers
fiery geyser
latent blade
Free Archer is gonna be hype, I just hope I'll have enough to get me Jingliu e0s1, thankfully I still have the remaining parts of Penacony and Amphoreous to go through so we'll see if I have enough
the LC being "free" as well is great too, my scuffed team he'll be slotted in on will go so hard if I can get it
shrewd plinth
Honestly, based on how he was described in the stream, you could probably make a pretty good F2P team
fiery geyser
(if you donāt have sparkle)
latent blade
I don't have Hanya
latent blade
I started at the end of May
latent blade
Yea
I saw that Jingliu hadn't had a rerun in a year so I bit the bullet and started playing, and since the other characters I'm interested in not gonna come back for a little while it gives me time too so
fiery geyser
Also, yeah, holy shit
*My E1 Sparkle is gonna get revived*
just gotta get SW and you can run 2 fate teams

||ok maybe they nerfed it since the beta||

Based on the stream info though, my teams are prolly gonna be something like:
Saber/Tingyun/Robin or Ruan Mei or Bronya or RMC/Sustain
Archer/Sparkle (E1)/Robin or Ruan Mei or Bronya or RMC/Gallagher
Maybe fit Pela into there somewhere

sunday usually replaces tingyun in most energy teams now
ult provides energy like hers and be gives more buffs and 100 AA
shrewd plinth
Yeah, I know
But I don't have Sunday, and I plan to go all-in on Saber
I can just get him later if need be
humble citrus
i donāt have sunday either 
shrewd plinth
Also, it looks like you can now set Built Targets for the upcoming characters to pre-farm for them

Yeah, that's fair. I'll wait to know more before making any final descisions, but I think she might be one of my better options, especially since she isn't used by any other of my teams
Welp, that's my pre-farming done!
Looks like my educated guesses payed off

Finally I get to speak
quartz scroll
fish thats a very interesting pfp
rocky palm
Anyways the reason why he has big issues is because his ult takes up 170 AV
Currently this can only be solved with eidolons
rocky palm
Don't think I can mention the other thing yet
Doesn't seem to be covered in livestream
Ngl they revealed way too much about story in this livestream and I'm only 20 minutes in
Nev mind, ig they did cover it
Bc of scourge points his dpav also sucks
Last I checked he has the lowest dpav of all 3.X dps characters by a considerable amount
shrewd plinth
Yeah, I wasn't able to get everything in the TL;DR since I had to type it fast enough so I was ready to cover the next thing
Also, I'm not sure what all that means exactly, but it sounds really bad
shrewd plinth
oh
fiery geyser
semi-exaggerating but
basically, AV is action value, or how much cycles or whatever take in any of the endgame modes
like how in AS, you always start with 2000AV on each side
and iirc, each cycle in MoC is about 200
shrewd plinth
oh...
fiery geyser
so this mf takes a good chunk of that up
shrewd plinth
Yeah, that's pretty bad, huh
fiery geyser
He should do fine on release b/c of dps shilling, but itāll probably be way more noticeable in the future
wicked gazelle
Free* archer lc is p nice
fiery geyser
Yeah, that's pretty bad, huh
Heās kinda a minmaxerās worst nightmare
since so much 0 cycle stuff and whatnot abuses tf out of DDD, eagle, and all that
Phainon canāt use any of that conventionally
rocky palm
and iirc, each cycle in MoC is about 200
Each cycle in MoC is 100, except the first which is 150
rocky palm
So his ult (which takes minimum of about 80 AV to set up first time) costs almost 2 cycles by the end of the first one
And every ult after the first one takes even longer to build up
shrewd plinth
Y'know, I'm suddenly way happier that I never really wanted to pull for Phainon
rocky palm
Me:

Btw this also includes Anaxa
While he is not completely a sub dps, he'a also not completely a dps
And still beats Phainon considerably
rocky palm
At least Saber and Archer look sick as hell
Archer looks like he might be one of the most fun characters in the game
Super glad he's free
shrewd plinth
Super glad he's free
And his Lightcone as well (sorta)!
rocky palm
200 pulls kinda heavy when I'm still not even sure how I feel about Phainon
But I'll see
Waiting for Cerydra's beta right now

it doesn't make an exception for herself so i assume yes

Not too sure, but likely yeah. Though Archer might be better than Feixiao in AoE if you can change the target of his skill between activations
rocky palm
Now I just have to motivate myself to farm new relics for Sparkle
shrewd plinth
I honestly did not know that Sparkle had that
humble citrus
i mean, it didn't really come up
at worst it's a 20% boost
but at 45%? ok yeah now that's noteworthy

I'm honestly interested to see how viable Mono-Quantum will be, since I'm pretty sure the main reason you played it before is so Silver Wolf consistently implanted Quantum Weakness
