Gacha hell

[rocky palm]

thankfully there is no proof of le fishe wrongfully abusing mod powers

[jaunty badger]

@shrewd plinth @stark salmon FIRST PULL

[rocky palm]

Terrae spear looks really cool

As does the ult

[jaunty badger]

I didn't have to try like 30 times

[latent blade]

Also looked at Terrae's kit || So he's an ATK scaling Shielder, where his shields go off of purely his own ATK, from what I can see, besides his own LC, really no current LC works as a good replacement, nor am I seeing an easy good relic set for him to use, granted I could be fucking blind kek ||

[latent blade]

True and Real, it looks sick.

[rocky palm]

||New BP lc||

Also new relic set will be for him

[latent blade]

Oh is there ||a new relic set? ||Thank fuck

[rocky palm]

However, if I'm being very fr his kit is literally ||attack scaling Aven||

With more buffs

[latent blade]

Yea thats what I was thinking

[rocky palm]

Sunday advances LL/Numby right

[latent blade]

Unsure about Numby but yeah he AAs LL

[rocky palm]

K

[latent blade]

|| Aglaea BiS Shielder, he'll be able to AA Garmentmaker then right? ||

[rocky palm]

||That means on someone like Aglaea, he should theoretically advance Garment + DH dragon||

[rocky palm]

I hope so

Aven works really poorly with her a lot of the time

So many turns that shields literally turn to dust

[latent blade]

Shield runs out too fast right?

[rocky palm]

yeah

Gallagher is good with her cause she can heal so much

But Garment has really low health so shields are preferable

[latent blade]

Well hopefully it works good for her then

[rocky palm]

Definitely seems like he's ||Phainon BiS||

||Very nice buffs and boosts, plus dragon scales off of the ally's stats||

[latent blade]

Oh and I guess besides for LCs || Besides the new BP Lightcone with Kakavasha, Landaus Choice should work, just taunt and DMG reduction? ||

[latent blade]

|| And Saber would also work right, thats my copium at least ||

[rocky palm]

||Idk if he wants taunt||

[latent blade]

True but I broke I needa save for Hyacine,

[rocky palm]

||Does seem like he'll be very sp heavy||

||Which would explain the new relic set + his kit SP refund||

[latent blade]

Seems like it

|| Was it planar or Regular relic set, it was regular right? ||

[reef elm]

https://tenor.com/view/march-small-march2-small-gif-7293744023151655829

I died

[rocky palm]

evernight if she wasn't evil

[latent blade]

|| So besides PeTer being ATK Aventurine with nice ass buffs, whats the opinion on Evernight, she seems fine to me? But I might be looking at it wrong ||

[rocky palm]

Haven't looked at her at all yet

Love her mechanic that I gleaned from the animations though

||Memosprite count just goes up and up, presumably with each one counting towards the max number on Elysiae planar set||

[latent blade]

I should watch those, but I'm getting pissed off at puzzles atm.

Wait just looked a bit closer || Full remembrance team for her increases all Memosprite Crit DMG by 50% ||

[rocky palm]

Interesting

So presumably

[latent blade]

|| Cas, RMC, Evernight, Hyacine?||

[rocky palm]

||Evernight, Hyacine, Cyrene, RMC?||

[latent blade]

Forgot about || Cyrene || ngl

[latent blade]

It might not be outstanding but thank fuck it's something.

[shrewd plinth]

Ayyyy, nice! Just a heads up, if you're gonna do any more pulls, then do it on the Heishou banner since Kong Lu synergises really well with all the Heishou IDs.

[fiery geyser]

With the Chevy event and summer minigame

Genshin is eventually gonna add a playable sniper, right

[stark salmon]

50 pulls 5 egos 0 ids

62

[shrewd plinth]

Oh, nice!

[stark salmon]

i want hong lu

https://tenor.com/view/limbus-limbus-company-lc-lor-lobotomy-corp-gif-27631733

https://tenor.com/view/crash-bandicoot-crash-bandicoot4-crash-bandicoot4its-about-time-its-about-time-activision-gif-20153138

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, that'd be pretty cool! Though, knowing Genshin, they'd just work like another Charged-Shot Bow character

[jaunty badger]

yeah i don't think hes gonna work out with the bleed team im making

but i can always just pull for those other guys

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, he's primarily a support for the Heishou IDs from what I saw of the kit on Monday

Haven't looked at the numbers though

[fiery geyser]

Ganyu is probably the closest we got

esp since Amos rewards longer range shots

how it aged though…

[shrewd plinth]

[shrewd plinth]

Phase 2 Banners!

[rocky palm]

Evernight kit looks quite strange

Not sure how I feel about it

Terrae is also strange but a little more simple

[shrewd plinth]

Weird is good though

Means it's more interesting

[rocky palm]

Phainon...

[shrewd plinth]

ah

fair point

[rocky palm]

My TLDR's

Evernight:

||Remembrance Jingliu with team buffs. Has an enhanced form that relies on maintaining stacks, like Syzyg. Her summons build up stacks over time and become stronger, and she buffs all memosprites in the team.||

Terrae:

||Attack based Aventurine. Not sure if he's a complete powercreep on Aven or more of a side-grade, offering less shielding and more damage buffs. Probably extremely SP costly since his kit + relics + lc all have SP refund effects||

[fiery geyser]

||Full natlanese character banner||

[shrewd plinth]

nuh uh, it's got Fav weapons on the weapon banner

[fiery geyser]

Favonius might as well belong to every nation so

after the summer event

I could see myself spontaneously pulling chasca, ngl

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, she's honestly a really cool character
Plus teambuilding with her is pretty unique

[fiery geyser]

also her gimmick means she can adapt to a ton of stuff

[shrewd plinth]

[fiery geyser]

And flying is actually privileged

from the little I’ve played of her in trials/events, it’s funny how so few things can hit you

[shrewd plinth]

I honestly feel like she's one of the more future-proof characters to come out of Natlan because of how she works.
She's a basic ATK Scaling DPS with no real gimmicks beyond needing PECH characters, which make up most of the top-tier supports.

Compare that to Mualani who's both HP Scaling and basically stuck to Forward Vape, I think Chasca's gonna have a much easier time going forward

[fiery geyser]

Mhm

funnily enough, she’ll probably only hit a wall if a fight favors any non-PECH elements

unless you go for c2

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah!
I could see that happening if they end up tailoring a boss to whatever Varka ends up being, but I could see that still working for Chasca since he's also Anemo

[fiery geyser]

Anemo in name only

wait

AINO

[rocky palm]

Things I'm already expecting in v3 beta

Terrae: ||Big shield nerf||

Evernight: ||Damage increase||

[shrewd plinth]

aino way

[fiery geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/aino-genshin-genshin-genshin-impact-aino-genshin-aino-gif-6791012908591397745

[fiery geyser]

||Nerf? Is it higher scaling than Aven?||

[fiery geyser]

Dendro also

I wouldn’t be surprised if they introduce bosses to help push Lauma and Nefer

[shrewd plinth]

Ah, true

[rocky palm]

||In the only showcase I've seen, Sunday had 4.4k health and the shield completely covered his health bar||

||When Phainon went into ult, I think it maxed out at around 4.9k||

[fiery geyser]

||dayum||

I haven’t seen any leaks but I’ll most likely get her for jingliu on rerun

Assuming they work together

||Ok so I need her she’s so cool||

[jaunty badger]

thatr yi sang chapter was amazing

[shrewd plinth]

Canto 4 is my favourite out of all the current ones

[jaunty badger]

i do want them to get closer together

the chicken one was good for that though

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, the Intervallos are really good at showing the dynamics

The next one is really good if I'm remembering correctly

[jaunty badger]

compared to the other ones, this one is really bright

[shrewd plinth]

Also, just so you know, from Canto 5 onwards, there won't be any more of the cartoony CGs like this one

[jaunty badger]

ok ill do the "s.e.a." tomorrow

[shrewd plinth]

Let's just say things happened

[jaunty badger]

oh

like lore or production wise

[shrewd plinth]

TL;DR: Because of a really dumb controversy, the artist that did them had to be fired to appease the toxic side of the fanbase

I'm pretty sure they're now done by one of the artists who did the ID art in the past

Not 100% sure on that though

[jaunty badger]

how different do they look now

[shrewd plinth]

They're more in line with the character sprites and backgrounds you see during dialogue scenes

So less expressive, but more consistent in terms of art style

[jaunty badger]

I guess I’ll see later on then

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah. Don't worry too much, they're still really good. I just thought it'd be a good idea to bring it up now so it's not as jarring when it happens.

[wicked gazelle]

I might try and pick up terrae for acheron. But unf trend scales defense

@rocky palm have you seen the new endgame leaks

I'm cooked for sure

[quartz scroll]

me doing the rest of the story content in reverse just to procure ezio pulls

also i cried reading recoleta's story. gg.

@humble citrus

[lilac spire]

You need to manifest the pull by making and eating pasta while pulling

[rocky palm]

wow

oh my fucking god

what are these waves

jesus christ

as someone who has actually fought the new mobs in the 2nd fight

that is going to suck so fucking much

literal christ on a bike

Phainon is going to be fantastic in this mode though

This is literally what he lives for

this mode is going to suck

i actually don't know how you're supposed to clear the 2nd fight

||unless you have DoT team||

I feel like my teams rn would be

[wicked gazelle]

I dont even think I have 3 teams

[rocky palm]

||Acheron, Aglaea, Phainon|| are my only hopes

[humble citrus]

[rocky palm]

The 2nd fight sucks so hard though

[wicked gazelle]

Acheron
Archer
Fx(if ||DHT is good||)

[rocky palm]

The first fight is also ass but only the first wave

[wicked gazelle]

But I dont think fx can clear

[rocky palm]

Second wave should be trivial

are there buffs to be picked?

i assume there have to be and they're not listed

cause doing this raw would be very very hard

[wicked gazelle]

I think i saw a leak with some, one moment

[fiery geyser]

||Is it the stingray/fishes?||

[rocky palm]

and the first return of ||SUD|| to endgame content

with a debuff that causes them to take ||3% less damage from cd for every 1% of hp they lose, making DoT the only effective way to kill them||

[fiery geyser]

||wth 💀
That’s like break lock, but for crit||

||https://vxreddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail_leaks/s/ewVXrAHTxi ||

[rocky palm]

I saw these ones but that's for the final fight

[wicked gazelle]

Yeah thats all im seeing

[rocky palm]

Does that mean there really aren't any for the first 3 fights?

That's crazy

[fiery geyser]

||They remebered sleepy ||

[rocky palm]

No one is going to be able to clear this mode lmao

[wicked gazelle]

Its looking super rough

[rocky palm]

0-cycling this is going to be a 20 cost team

the first fight is absolutely diabolical if there's no ||WBE buff||

like how the fuck

actually

it might not be THAT bad

stats are pretty similar to current MoC

still, with those particular mobs it'll still suck

great rewards if you do somehow clear it

[wicked gazelle]

Yeah idk how i can clear this stuff without evernight and hyacine

Ig I can farm for FX in the mean time

[rocky palm]

Sustainless is probably completely impossible

I assume all of these enemies hit like a truck on steroids

[wicked gazelle]

Thats my big worry too

[humble citrus]

do we know how long the new HSR story is?

[latent blade]

HSRs 3.5 story? Probably 4-ish hours if I had to guess, it took me longer but I have a critical case of skill issue, poor directional skills, and getting stuck on some non-required puzzles for an hour.

[rocky palm]

Cyrene leak

||Premium support for Castorice||

[plain bluff]

iirc people are saying that it's ragebait

[humble citrus]

i will only ask 1 question; is she ||HP scaling||

[rocky palm]

it is, i also wanted to ragebait

[rocky palm]

[humble citrus]

fell for it again

[rocky palm]

legitimately though

if that does end up being the case

I will hate her (not Cyrene, the other one) so much lmao

[humble citrus]

I’ve already disliked how they’ve made the meta so annoying to deal with

Not even FF during peak break meta was like this

[rocky palm]

I think war armor is the only part of the meta i like rn

i think it's a really good mechanic

[humble citrus]

low key i like lurkers

[rocky palm]

lurkers?

[wicked gazelle]

war armor is cool

[humble citrus]

the black tide sages that can only be hit via aoe/blast

not directly

[rocky palm]

oh those ones

[quartz scroll]

[rocky palm]

[fiery geyser]

something something, investing in victory…

[humble citrus]

@wicked gazelle see you should get Hysilens, she’s better JQ and she’ll be good in the upcoming meta

[rocky palm]

I wish they hadn't killed break meta quite so hard

Idk why everything has a zillion toughness now

I hope war armor doesn't suffer a similar fate

although idk how they could do that exactly

[fiery geyser]

It’ll probably be a titankin thing only

[humble citrus]

imma be real idk what war armor does

[wicked gazelle]

[rocky palm]

when war armor is broken, each hit does 1% of titan's life and also gives a massive amount of energy to the character who broke it

I think it also has a delay maybe?

[fiery geyser]

Yes (?)

and their moves become way weaker

[rocky palm]

it fully replenishes every time they take their turn

[fiery geyser]

for example, the archer lady will only shoot one character and the buff ratio guy can’t stun you w/ headbutt anymore

[rocky palm]

it's part of the reason why nikador was not such an insane boss as people thought he was initially

since after you break his war armor, you were able to knock off 100k just by hitting him once

there was also the fact that each of the pillars took off 13% of his health, then breaking war armor + his special armor, titanic corpus, each took off 10%

all together I think Nikador's "total" health was roughly 25% of the original 10 million

if you played it right

i really wish there was a boss raid mode

where you could just fight whichever boss you wanted

Hey, random question, how does the new event Lightcone compare to For Tomorrow's Journey on Robin?

It's effectively a difference between (up to) 48 ATK% compared to a permanent 30 DMG% for Robin

[humble citrus]

https://discord.com/channels/908152059914752062/928504512686219314

[static hearth]

honse game ain't gacha ?

[humble citrus]

Look even in hell gacha has standards

[static hearth]

standards ?

[humble citrus]

Yeah high standards

[static hearth]

High, as Akeno high or ...?

[rocky palm]

In practical use you will only see a 16% attack difference between the two (in favor of this new one)

The damage dealt isn't hugely important on Robin's additional damage, so it doesn't really matter I think

[shrewd plinth]

[rocky palm]

Apparently the damage dealt does positively affect the additional damage, and since the extra 16% attack gets massively diluted by her ult anyways, I'd say tomorrow's journey is still the better option

[shrewd plinth]

Right, gotcha. Guess I'll just hold onto it for now, since I don't have any other Harmony characters that need that much ATK%

it's not stated there

[lilac spire]

my gacha has 59% rate up on characters on rate up sooo

[quartz scroll]

yeah as big of a gambler i am, FGO's gacha system genuinely sucks

[rocky palm]

the puzzle for this patch is diabolical

[plain bluff]

tbh

with FGO

it isn't too hard to save for who you want

and get them

because NA is 2 years behind JP

meaning that you can plan ahead and save pulls accordingly

maybe I'm just lucky

but I've never really had too much trouble getting at least 1 copy of whatever unit I'm saving up for

though you usually want 2 or 3 copies these days...

Just win all it takes is a single pull trust

idk how controversial this opinion is but I prefer Hoyo style and its derivative systems over most spark systems

no matter how much you increase the rates there's always very plausible chance that you're going to pity

i see why it would also be good for her though

It lets him ||immediately end ult with his finisher, then go back into ult, for a large amount of damage||

[wicked gazelle]

||i can see that too. It's just everything cas wants since if she gets it its a free dragon. Or it charges her dragon or heals it||

||But if this is the boss as the new endgame mode i feel slightly more confident ||

[rocky palm]

lol

lmao

wait until you see that he has ||43 million|| hp

i'll spoiler that but it's not really important

[fiery geyser]

Abyss resets

In case anyone wants to listen to this absolute bop

don't look at the comments though

big spoilers

@wicked gazelle how did you feel about lygus' identity reveal

[jaunty badger]

@shrewd plinth is it generally not recommended to do hybrid teams

[shrewd plinth]

Not really, no

There's a bunch of really good IDs that have more than one status, so Hybrid teams built around them tend to be pretty good
Plus, you'll generally find more success just throwing all your strongest IDs into a team than forcing yourself to use weaker ones to conform to an archetype

[jaunty badger]

rn im deciding whether or not that pequiod heathcliff is worth it

tbh im looking at wild hunt

and the yi sang i have already has sinking

[shrewd plinth]

WH Heath's a good general character
Most of his damage is just from his numbers, and I don't think he really needs Sinking to be good

So you can just pick him up and slot him in, and he'll work

[jaunty badger]

im just trying to get a goal for now cause i already have 4 characters that I like pretty well

im planning to get a different outis id

get a heathcliff one

but I honestly don't know who I would try to get for a 7th character

[shrewd plinth]

As I've said before, I'd reccommend getting Manager Don eventually since she'll be a big boost to your Bleed Team

Since the Bloodfiends are really strong, and synergise with eachother really well

[jaunty badger]

i can build towards that

im just mad that im gonna end up waiting for 2 characters then

until whenever the season 5 pass opens up

[shrewd plinth]

Oh, shit, right

I'll be honest, I completely forgot about that

Okay, in that case, what you could do is make a weird Bleed/Sinking (Blinking) team

And grab Molar Ishmael and Butler Outis

Since those guys support sinking really well

[jaunty badger]

im in luck

i got butler outis

they were the first 000 i pulled

[shrewd plinth]

Ay, nice!

[jaunty badger]

man what am i saying, ill just wait for the op arknights collab characters

also the greed of this character

[shrewd plinth]

The Arknights Collab has been confirmed to only be E.G.O, so there's gonna be no IDs there

[jaunty badger]

that sucks

i feel like i see faust a lot more

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, she has a lot of really strong E.G.O and a few solid IDs as well

[lilac spire]

Heard you guys like cute gacha girls

[rocky palm]

i'm mahjonging it

[fiery geyser]

The fat yumkasaur in the past 3 abysses:

[shrewd plinth]

I mean, I ain't complaining, I'll take the free win

[fiery geyser]

Ima complain, I hate the spin attack with a passion

on the bright side, he brought his cooler brother, the dendro chicken

[shrewd plinth]

Oh, I just kill him before he does that

[fiery geyser]

and then the last chamber is the electro automaton

[shrewd plinth]

Honestly, Varesa Overload just annihilates the second side for me

[fiery geyser]

[shrewd plinth]

The first side with the cactus is the worst part

[fiery geyser]

I think you should be fine with Neuv + ororon

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, I've already cleared it

I used Neuvi/Fischl/Furina/Xilonen

A little scuffed, but it worked

[fiery geyser]

Oh

Watching a vid of the first side hurt me

The first two chambers look amazing for Nilou

But then the third is the 🌵…

[shrewd plinth]

Yup...

I initially ran Neuvi Freeze on the first half, and was doing fine up until the Cactus

[rocky palm]

https://tenor.com/view/xiao-xiao-genshin-impact-genshin-impact-gif-22332137

[shrewd plinth]

Which just stalled and ended up killing Neuvi with the big shockwave

[rocky palm]

looked up genshin cactus and got Xiao

hopefully i got the name right?

[fiery geyser]

💀

[fiery geyser]

Yeah

[fiery geyser]

who would win

powerful water dragon or a cactus

[fiery geyser]

Solo Wriothesley ain’t happening this time

[shrewd plinth]

[fiery geyser]

on the flip side

It feels very nice fighting AoE content again, ngl

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, definitely!
Though the sheer amount of HP on the 1st side of Chamber 2 feels like a lot

A bunch of Ruin Guards and Graders, then 3 Robo Chickens after that

[fiery geyser]

cleared

Haven’t used koko taser in a good while

[shrewd plinth]

[fiery geyser]

[latent blade]

They added flight to 1.X areas in WuWa, shits so peak man.

[muted tundra]

I think they also nuked the performance again

my FPS dropped drastically over night after yesterdays update

[latent blade]

Really? weirdge mine is still perfectly fine

What is your specs?

[muted tundra]

laptop 3060 rtx
11th gen cpu intel i7-11800h
16 GB ram

I got pretty good performances beforehand

I logged in last day and noticed there's some stutters, logged out to do a driver update

[latent blade]

Weird, I got a similar rig but instead of a laptop I got a desktop and I get just fine FPS.

Oh thats why NVIDIA drivers still kinda suck donkey ass, I haven't updated my drivers in 6 months

[muted tundra]

and then when I logged in again it complied shaders and it actually became worse

I assume the water in Rinascita was the cause but nah its the same in the older regions too

[latent blade]

Did you re-adjust your in-game graphics settings?

I know sometimes that stuff goes wonky and sets itself, especially after driver updates

[muted tundra]

I tinkered a bit but it didn't change anything

and it continued to recommend highest settings despite it being like 20 FPS

[latent blade]

Not surprised, it recommends me quality but it works just fine, I only get stutters when DLSS is turned off

Even when DLSS is set to like performance it's bad? I know auto DLSS can be kinda weird.

[muted tundra]

kinda hoping it was a one time thing

I didn't reboot my laptop after the driver update

and haven't logged in yet today so it might be fixed now

[latent blade]

Reboot laptop, double check DLSS settings is all I can recommend without more info, sorry. I hope it fixes itself and theres no more big issues for you

[fiery geyser]

Hmm…

You can actually invul through the one shot blast

[fiery geyser]

[wicked gazelle]

its cool ||does it mean that nous was the first aeon?||

[quartz scroll]

guh...

let it be known on this day, august 16th

dollie has died

[lilac spire]

Was it worth

[humble citrus]

i'd say so, yes

[rocky palm]

||no, either Hooh or Terminus is probably the oldest||

welp

apparently CN is going a bit apeshit over the 3.5 beta lmao

[wicked gazelle]

how so

[rocky palm]

Evernight's role

And Cyrene's alleged role

||They are not a fan of her being relegated to Castorice apparently, or that Castorice is getting ANOTHER support, or both||

[muted tundra]

Rapi skins are so peak...

[rocky palm]

Which is your favorite

I like the 2nd option

2nd favorite is probably the red hood outfit

[wicked gazelle]

@rocky palm

||https://youtu.be/WrFDpvmchSI?si=zo23m82OmUI09j4C||

new gamemode gameplay

[latent blade]

I bet the leak that CN is malding over specifically worded purely to ragebait and get people to comment about it; || I bet Cyrene will be something akin to what Robin is, a FUA dedicated support but works great in most comps. In terms of Evernight, She would be a dual-DPS for Cas no? Kinda like Mydei, Blade, or Jingliu?||

[rocky palm]

||The critical part of that being the "for Cas" part. Not everyone wants that, and it's seemingly like that's the majority opinion. For being such a popular character, having her be a part of Castorice's team is kind of sucky. We have no idea about Cyrene yet but the person who said she's going to be a support for Castorice has been right about a lot of recent stuff, so people are choosing to believe them||

[latent blade]

|| Thats just my theory but most people are expecting Cyrene with this leak to be Cerydra or Jiaoqiu levels of dedicated when she might not be. iirc the leaks wording was like "Supports all the Chrysos Heirs, ....... works with Castorice". Plus where would she go for Castorice, isn't Cas BiS team Cas/Hyacine (+ her LC)/ RMC/ and now Evernight? If she replaces RMC wouldn't that mean in theory she could work great in any comp as well without feeling out of place?||

[rocky palm]

||That leak about her supporting all the chrysos heirs is quite old for the record. Would (probably) replace RMC, which does not necesarily translate to her working well in any other comp, it would just mean she performs better than RMC in Castorice team||

||It's not guaranteed or anything, it's just what the leaker said. Possibly ragebaiting, but people have accused Luna of ragebaiting before and she was right||

[latent blade]

|| Quite old, I saw it 3 days ago wtf?? Did I hallucinate it or somethin. But RMCs biggest thing (Besides Mem for HP drain), is True DMG no? ||

|| and for the ragebaiting thing, yeah, but one of WuWa's technically most credible leaker probably has a thing for rage baiting people to put it nicely, and while he's right most of the time, not 100%. Any leak even from someone legit has a chance to be wonky or just outright wrong ||

I mostly just want my feed to stop being rage posts about this at this point too so, sorry if I came off as a bit rude

[rocky palm]

||It was first said several months ago||

[latent blade]

Well ya learn somethin new everyday, although, || Wack, guess I saw a repost then ||

[wicked gazelle]

!

[humble citrus]

[wicked gazelle]

[fiery geyser]

wtf

[humble citrus]

I have seen the banners for next patch in hsr

god why did they have to rerun so soon…

[rocky palm]

Hoyo deciding how to rob their playerbase even more

[quartz scroll]

good luck hehe

[humble citrus]

I actually regret getting THerta now

i like ||Anaxa|| in almost every way

animations, dialogue, gameplay kit

[rocky palm]

You've got 2 patches to save technically

minus the 5 or so days we've had of the current one

Also, ||DH should still be free||

So that's one less thing to worry about, if you wanted it

[humble citrus]

I already spent 50 pulls on saber lc, i probably won’t have enough to get that and then

i better win the 75/25 istg

[rocky palm]

do you get battlepass?

[humble citrus]

Not this patch no

though i might

Hysilens icon looks cute

[rocky palm]

If you do, roughly 120 pulls from that + express pass for this patch

and the same again next patch

including game events and resets

[humble citrus]

is ||anaxa|| the first or 2nd rerun?

[rocky palm]

2nd

allegedly

[humble citrus]

makes sense imo

get the shilling done first

filler banner afterwards

[wicked gazelle]

all the showcases im seeing have ||DHT on the new relic set, and i think thats really bad||

[humble citrus]

why? bc of ||SP economy||?

[wicked gazelle]

i have no idea

||36% cd for 1 skill point doesnt seem very good on him||

||unless the dragon goes off of his CD||

[humble citrus]

i’m pretty sure that one is for sparkle/archer, idk why testers are running that on ||DHT||

[wicked gazelle]

yeah idk

i think sac is a better set for him tbh

[fiery geyser]

||Are most of his showcases w/ Sunday? They probably don’t run it cuz Sunday is already using it||

[wicked gazelle]

||sac can stack per character no?||

ye

[fiery geyser]

Oh wow

I didn’t know that

[wicked gazelle]

broken set

[fiery geyser]

||obligatory “you should use eagle ”||

[wicked gazelle]

its good on Feixiao

i know that much

[humble citrus]

Anaxa? probably?

[fiery geyser]

Yes-ish, you really need to hit the breakpoints though

Otherwise, it’s better to just use genius or scholar

[fiery geyser]

That’s what I said until I ran it

[humble citrus]

if i had the spare fuel i would

I gotta scrounge some up for Saber

[rocky palm]

||Dragon should go off of whoever's stats it is on||

[fiery geyser]

Eagle or fuel

[humble citrus]

both

used it all up for hysilens/DOT

[fiery geyser]

[wicked gazelle]

||yeah i figured which is why i dont understand the set usage||

||but as is i dont think hes surviving the beta. every showcase has his shields never moving||

[rocky palm]

||they're 100% getting nerfed||

||In what world did they think that was even somewhat reasonable||

[wicked gazelle]

||I mean in what world is like half of the 3.x creep reasonable||

||hp scaling dps is always a mistake imo||

[rocky palm]

||Tbh I think the only super egregious character is Hyacine. She's bumfuck levels of stupid. A lot of the others have at least some drawbacks. Castorice is getting shilled insanely hard, otherwise I think she would also be showing more of her weaknesses||

||Herta needs lots of enemies, Aglaea has energy problems, Mydei is fine, Tribbie is good (broken e1 as customary), Anaxa is strong, Hyacine is broken, Cipher is super strong but her kit also has limitations, Phainon is clunky||

||Hyacine was so poorly balanced it's legitimately baffling that she was released as a sustain. It's like they intentionally wanted to make her a dps, then decided to throw in healing for fun||

[wicked gazelle]

||and poor jq...||

[rocky palm]

||JQ kit should lowkey be scrapped and redone||

at some point this stopped being leaks lol

if there was a character that should be nerfed in HSR though, it's Hyacine

Looking at the list of characters

I'm almost certain Argenti is next on the buff list

Probably DHIL too

Hoping that they'll actually give JQ something

[reef elm]

Make him useable for archer is my copium

[muted tundra]

I voted for the pijama

[humble citrus]

For my saber comp, im planning on Bronya/robin (again) with Luocha as the sustain.

Is that the best team comp without sunday/huohuo?

[shrewd plinth]

It's pretty solid, yeah

[humble citrus]

I wonder if it allows me to use the wave strider set

[shrewd plinth]

Though Saber's generally SP neutral or -1 at worst, so you can afford a different sustain that provides more buffs

[humble citrus]

I mean, my two sustains are both SP positive so im good on that part

Luocha/Aven

I just don't want to farm wave strider set only to find out i can't utilize it effectively

im kinda tempted to run eagle set for the bit...

[shrewd plinth]

All of Saber's artifact sets are pretty close to each other
I use scholar since it's easier to work with

[humble citrus]

I really should've gotten sunday lc...

welp, maybe next time.

[fiery geyser]

[jaunty badger]

@shrewd plinth @stark salmon this chapter is amazing ngl

[stark salmon]

its peek

[shrewd plinth]

And it only gets better

[jaunty badger]

i feel like ishmael isn't in the wrong here but she isn't really explaining much besides we're not prepared and you're all dumb

like i don't get why shes calling dante dumb for trying to pay the hostage fee, they really don't know anything and ishmael isn't really saying anything either

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah...
Without spoiling anything, I can tell ya that things will start making sense pretty soon

[jaunty badger]

no no, i understand shes scared of something and probably someone but like

she isn't explaining it really so for now it just sounds like shes crazy

[shrewd plinth]

Yup

[jaunty badger]

dude...

this guy goes to clubs

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, Meur's cool like that

[jaunty badger]

also i finally can do 6 characters

[shrewd plinth]

[jaunty badger]

im thinking just hong lu

or meursault

[shrewd plinth]

I'd go with Rhino Meur, since he gives a good amount of Bleed Count if you manage his Charge

Which will help with Bleed uptime

[jaunty badger]

im pretty sure im just supposed to spam skills 1 and 2 then when he goes into his form use 3 for damage

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, Skill 1 and 2 builds Charge Count and then Skill 3 spends it all

Basically you just need to build up to 10 Charge, then throw out Skill 3 to cash it all in

[jaunty badger]

priest gregor and that one voiceline is so funny

it just him moaning

they showed that the sinners actually care about dante outside of him just healing them was really nice

[fiery geyser]

yesss, an upgrade for Mavuika

Now I can have 56/201 instead of 60/152

[shrewd plinth]

If only the one roll in Flat HP rolled into EM or Crit

[fiery geyser]

yeah…

Don’t mind it as much tho ig

getting an onset piece with the right subs is good enough already

and my old one was way worse

no CR, less CD, and ER rolls 💀

[shrewd plinth]

[fiery geyser]

Oh wow

the cactus guy isn’t killable with only electro charged

you technically only need electro?

[fiery geyser]

in abyss at least

Probably don’t try it in Stygian

[shrewd plinth]

Another enemy for Varesa to dropkick to death!

[fiery geyser]

Overload varesa is just broken in general for this abyss 💀

[shrewd plinth]

Honestly, I'd imagine that Xianyun/Furina is probably better against this guy since you trigger a bit of Electro-Charged without losing out on too much damage

But yeah, C0R1 Varesa's been one of the best investments I've made

[fiery geyser]

Yeah, electro charged still makes the fight go faster than without it

as a side note, I had no idea the cactus’ hats can still move after the first few times

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah...

[fiery geyser]

[shrewd plinth]

[shrewd plinth]

AS Done!

Archer Side 1 and Saber Side 2 cleared pretty comfortably

[wicked gazelle]

I'm ngl im having a rough time with side 2

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, Feixiao's definitely the harder side in this one

Who knew that having a break-focused boss without any good break-focused buffs would be difficult?

[wicked gazelle]

I'm gonna try farc in stead of acheron

[shrewd plinth]

Carf?

[rocky palm]

This has been one of my least favorite AS's

don't remove that apostrophe

[rocky palm]

She's not even a break focused boss

Basically a DoT focused boss

Which is stupid

Her fight is boring but imo Hoolay's is just not great

The gimmick of killing the adds to get buffs in the duel is fine but 2nd phase rotation is so dumb

He instantly goes, removes 2 wolves, then will (usually) go again before the rest of your team can take a turn

[shrewd plinth]

I meant that Feixiao's more Break-focused outside of this AS due to all her breakable parts. I know she's more DoT focused this time around.

[rocky palm]

Leading to him either instantly putting you in duel or killing an ally, if you're running sustainless

[rocky palm]

gotcha

I ran Archer vs. Hoolay and it went okay, but feels really really hard to optimize

Phainon vs. Feixiao cause you would THINK that would give him a lot of opportunity to do stuff, but it takes so insanely long to break her

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah...
That kinda why I just ended up going full Unga with Saber and brute-forced the fight pretty much

I tried Firefly the first time around, but that didn't end well

[rocky palm]

maybe hot take but Feixiao also has too much health

Phainon meteors just failed to kill at 40%

Which might sound privileged but I honestly couldn't believe she lived

[wicked gazelle]

its like 3 acheron ults to kill while broken

[rocky palm]

The buffs do all massively suck

[wicked gazelle]

But i also really hate her gimmick

[rocky palm]

I don't even think the DoT one is good

[rocky palm]

Phainon doesn't even get to use it lol

Thing is, I have 0 other characters who work here

Acheron was doing nothing

[wicked gazelle]

Its not even good tho lol. You get like +8 AV

[rocky palm]

Aglaea won't work

Feixiao is bad vs. herself and I have no other wind dps'

[wicked gazelle]

She is? Fuk

Blade time maybe

[rocky palm]

She's pretty bad vs the weekly boss version

Maybe AS version is different

[wicked gazelle]

Maybe

Idk how to live tbh

She shreds aven shields

[rocky palm]

ykw

I just realized running Cipher on either of these bosses is stupid

def shred stacks go away

i was going to try phainon cipher but no point really bc of that

[humble citrus]

Which side benefits from DoT the most?

[shrewd plinth]

2nd side, I'd say

Hoolay is just him plus a bunch of adds that die quickly, so DoT isn't ideal there

Whereas Feixiao is (mostly) 4 parts that stick around

So you can get more use out of DoT's AoE

[rocky palm]

well it's also that the Borisin trooper scales off of DoT

Every DoT on Feixiao increases the amount of toughness damage the trooper does

[shrewd plinth]

I knew that

Totally...

[rocky palm]

https://tenor.com/view/silly-cat-silly-car-car-stare-10-thousand-yard-stare-10-thousand-yard-gif-14200271775968563996

Really weird boss tbh

The toughness feels insanely high

And the fact that you have to break EVERY part feels really bad

Highscore of 7545

Don't think I'm getting past that

[rocky palm]

Apparently Phainon has a really easy 0 AV on Hoolay

Guess I'm doing that in a bit

[rocky palm]

Fucking christ no wonder Acheron ult does nothing to her

[rocky palm]

@wicked gazelle If you want to optimize more, take the ult damage buff instead of the weakness break efficiency

Was much faster for me

Unless you're already using that one

[wicked gazelle]

Hmm

I felt like the wb felt better but ill give it a shot

[rocky palm]

It's faster to break but takes a lot longer to kill her once she's broken

[muted tundra]

I forgot the Wuwa codes

[rocky palm]

If I'm truly insane I'll go farm wind set for Sunday

[rocky palm]

Also I did end up getting a slightly better score with the wb after all

I was doing a dumb thing with Tribbie originally

I'm about to pull a DoT team just so I don't have to deal with this bullshit again

[wicked gazelle]

Acheron ain't gonna cut it in checkmate 🥀

[rocky palm]

I mean, she should be fine

Just the devs being shitheads and giving Feixiao 3x as much HP as any other AS boss

While also having a toughness bar that's effectively twice as big

I really don't understand why they made her so tanky

oh fun

Next AS has just as much HP

FUCK ME GOD NO

I just saw the next AS boss

Actually killing myself

[wicked gazelle]

Aven?

[rocky palm]

No, piece of shit ||Pollux||

Bring back Firefly shilling

[wicked gazelle]

[rocky palm]

It was so much better than this

[wicked gazelle]

You will pull rice

And you will like it

[rocky palm]

And you'll never guess what

||Pollux has more health than Feixiao||

[wicked gazelle]

Fuk

Guess I gotta farm for cas and tribbie

Again

[rocky palm]

What a perfect AS buff for Aglaea

Too bad it's on the side with no fucking lightning weakness

God I hate the devs

I actually do not have a dps that covers this boss

[wicked gazelle]

Archer?

[rocky palm]

Actually, nev mind

Forgot that Phainon installs physical weakness

[rocky palm]

Don't think he's well suited for it

Maybe though

Tbh I think Archer's AS rating is definitely going down

[wicked gazelle]

I feel like hes been able to brute force everything

[rocky palm]

He was rated so high bc of FR who is a perfectly made boss for him

Then Hoolay who is a perfect boss for single target

[wicked gazelle]

Though the most recent 2 AS have had perfect storms for him

[rocky palm]

I don't see the trend continuing though

[rocky palm]

This buff will be good enough for Phainon though I think

And since he has built in healing it hopefully will be easy

But still hate the devs for completely ignoring Aglaea

Trying to push a boulder up a hill ah gameplay

[wicked gazelle]

She'll be good again

I promise

[rocky palm]

I mean she's good now

Doesn't matter what the MoC is, she can brute force that really easy

[wicked gazelle]

Shilled again *

[rocky palm]

But AS is different

[wicked gazelle]

I feel like AS is the hardest endgame mode to me

[rocky palm]

I probably agree there now

Pure Fiction is tedious but still not hard

Cause it's a pure dps check now

There's pretty much 0 skill involved

provided you have 1-2 meta supports/dps'

[wicked gazelle]

I mean im a little spoiled because I have jade and tribbie but they give you herta for free

[rocky palm]

MoC is evidently pretty easy for me due to my insistence on 0-cycling

I consider it "hard" if I can't get the 0-cycle though

Phainon is essentially a free clear in that regard so it's pretty much making sure the other team can 0-cycle

AS is starting to get really dependent on the buffs though

And they're becoming more and more specific over time

[wicked gazelle]

Yeah thats my main issue

The gimmick of each AS feels too specific

This one?

Hope you have dot or built guin

[rocky palm]

Jiaoqiuless Zyx:
Jiaoqiu-having fishes:

The wolftrooper would be so much more useful if it didn't scale off of DoT for no reason

Like at least make it debuffs

[wicked gazelle]

Its not my fault :sobbing:

[rocky palm]

Your fault for gambling responsibly and not spending money

[wicked gazelle]

We ain't gonna talk about the feixiao banner

[rocky palm]

[fiery geyser]

[rocky palm]

Finally optimized my Aglaea team so I could clear Svarog side of MoC hitless

Need to finish building him at this point

Literally going to get e6 welt lmao

[fiery geyser]

[rocky palm]

Also have his s3 lightcone

So currently I have an e5s3 Welt

oh only s2

[fiery geyser]

Hypercarry welt time?

[rocky palm]

Going to make my new goal getting him all leveled up and done

He was my first 5*, and he will be my greatest 5*

[fiery geyser]

[wicked gazelle]

rough

[humble citrus]

Tried to do AS, why does hoolay get all that

he doesn't need it (ARCHER PLEASE STOP DYING)

[latent blade]

I can't believe this Apoc reset is Hoolay and Hoolay with one PF side being Hoolay as well.

[rocky palm]

Use Gally instead of Aven

[wicked gazelle]

i die

[rocky palm]

Although ig you're using Aven for battery

Really?

[wicked gazelle]

yeah

[rocky palm]

I did it and survived fine

[wicked gazelle]

also this

[rocky palm]

I can post my clear later

I did not know that the wolf's basic attack heals you for a long time

[wicked gazelle]

yeah i got that on the run that i cleared

ig its probably doable without aven but

i just did not enjoy the boss enough to do it again

[rocky palm]

Fair enough

It's definitely tedious with Acheron

Basically a slugfest

[humble citrus]

got e4 clara just now

e4 s1

@rocky palm @wicked gazelle IM SIMPLY BETTER

at 70 pity

[wicked gazelle]

yeah im giga carried since she can just brute force most content now

[rocky palm]

Tragically the second one is useless

Unless you want to superimpose it

Or gamble on another character wanting it in the future

V nice though

[wicked gazelle]

Super impose

super impose

[quartz scroll]

give her to me.

[humble citrus]

no

[quartz scroll]

you will.

[rocky palm]

Kid named will: "yeah i'm will, what's up?"
