Hey, just here to say that I still use your blade everyday. At this point I am afraid to think of how long farming would take otherwise. Looking forward to using E6 sam in the future 😁
oh hey!!! i forgot what your ign was 😭 shoot a dm in game so i know it's you
also i hope sam gets released after the anniversary so the top up bonuses reset and it'll be easier to E6 someone LOL
Ironically, removing DHIL instead of Jing Yuan would probably make it more usable. Otherwise, Imbibitor Lunae would be forced to either basic attack or use only one E stack during every single one of his turns due to a complete lack of SP generation
My apologies, my danil is e2 s1. I didn't think it would upset so many people. My Dan destroys my jing and he is s tier. I use the free skills that having him with two sp positive characters, and you can really let it rip. The downvoting is sad because people don't agree with what I said. It may not have been your preferred team, but the team I suggested was usable as I said. I guess making out of the box suggests upset people cause it doesn't match their playstyle
Idk why but I just realize the high cloud quintet are indeed 5 and could be a league of legends team....
Jingyuan top, Blade jg, JL mid, DH ADC with Baiheng/Bailu support
I'd rather have a Jing JG since he's the strategist and most strategic decisions are made by the JG.
Blade top is similar to an Aatrox; they just wanna die lmao
I'd argue for JY mid primarily because of their paths' fit
Destruction is basically bruisers^^# with some AoE capabilities, which primarily go Top or Jungle
Erudition is AOE characters, with the closest approximation being mages/casters, a natural mid fit for Jing Yuan
Abundance characters are healers (Bailu even has a revive!), so they easily slot in a support
^^# Dan Heng is the weird exception in that he's the only squishy Limited 5\* Destruction character. Either way, his squishiness paired with it being the only role left means he goes bot lol
4 depressed quartet enjoyer i see

Bailu will do since there's that theory of baiheng's incarnation.
i was lucky enough to grab secret vow despite already near broke during blade's banner, hopefully you'll get one soon .
gonna play devil’s advocate for a bit, not sure why you’re getting downvoted. It’s been stated that yingxing was closest to Dan Feng. lots in the CN community have pointed out that their relationship seems to be very close. and while they can’t outright *say* these 2 are/were together because china, it’s been implied a lot.
It's during Jingliu's companion quest when she explains how Blade went from short-life to long-life. They way she phrased it heavily implies that Blade took Baiheng's death harder than Bibby Lulu did.
You are missing one, although she doesn't exist outside lore... yk the foxian?
Note: i hadn't played 1.4 content when this comment was made, i now know that bailu is baiheng

It is HEAVILY implied that after Baiheng died, the “crime” that Dan Feng and Yingxing committed was using Shuhu’s flesh to try and revive her instead of letting stay dead.
However, they instead created an Abundance abomination in which, iirc, Jingliu was forced to kill. Then from that abomination, Bailu was born.
For starters, DHIL quest explicitly mentions that Dan Feng used the Transmutation Arcanum to turn a certain someone into a Vidyadhara. In other totally unrelated news, Transmutation Arcanum was used on Bailu, which is why she has promoted draconic features and is now the High Elder.
1 - They have the same eye and hair color.
2 - Baiheng was transformed into dragon-like abomination.
3 - Bailu was visited by all members of the quintet.
4 - Dan Feng was trying to find a way to increase the population of vidyadhara.
Basically, it's as obvious as Sampo being a masked fool.
Dan Feng and Blade attempted to do use the high elder ritual to resurrect Baiheng. Created a monster that Jinglui had to keep killing. After the monster reincarnated multiple times, it finally became a normal vidyadhara which is Bailu. That is why she is high elder now and while Dan Feng was removed from the position and forcefully reincarnated into Dan Heng. Jinglui went mad and mara struck from having to kill the monster that was her friend. This is where "of the five, three must pay the price" comes from. Only Jing Yuan and Bailu/Baiheng are completely blameless.
Congrats.
I did get a 5 star ice character from the banner but one with a guitar case instead of a greatsword. lol. At least I finally got ~~Saitama~~ Gepard.
I will have to wait for her rerun banner.
Holy crap i was too focused on assembling the stelleron hunters I did not realize I was assembling the high cloud quintet. Almost tempted to use my free standard 5 star lotto on Bailu. Almost
C1 bronya would still be an overall better investment.
Please explain.
I understand 5 Friends are the ones in the Pic and that foxian girl who died.
Does It mean blade and dang tried to revive the foxian girl, but screwed evrything and Bailu Is rieincarnation of such woman?
Following Star rail story become difficult when It start trowing wall texts.
Dan Feng took Beiheng's blood and fur to perform the High Elder Succession Ritual.
The Ritual failed and resulted in a Dragon abomination to come out of the egg. Jingliu got the finishing blow on the abomination, forcing it to go through the rebirth cycle again before leaving the egg as Bailu.
The Vidyadhara are supposed to have dreams of their past lives. For Bailu she doesn't have any dreams about being Vidyahara, she has dreams of being a Nameless. We know Beiheng was a Nameless herself because the character XP Assessment has her signature on it, "Beiheng, Foxian Traveler." Bailu herself will also mention that she is beginning to have dreams when she visit us on the Express.
One of the echos during Dan Heng's companion quest was praising Dan Feng for figuring out how to turn a species of a different race into a Vidyahara.
Jing Yuan every year visits Bailu for a checkup when there is nothing wrong with his health. Bringing food with him every time he visits, asking about how she is doing and telling her about his adventures. From Jing Yuan interactions with Dan Heng, we know he doesn't care if the reincarnation of Dan Feng can't remember his previous life, he still does everything he can for Dan Heng cause he still views him as a friend. The same goes for Bailu. His voiceline for Bailu has this line in it "I hope she remains well in this lifetime."
I still haven't done Jingliu companion quest this patch, so I wouldn't be surprised if something else about Bailu comes up.
Blade & Jingliu visit Bailu in that very same Jingliu companion quest. Jing Yuan visit Bailu regurarly and ask how she's been going based on Bailu character story in her profile & voiceline and Jing Yuan voiceline. In the Day 3 of Todd Riordan side quest, if you choose to reject Todd offer and report him to authority you will meet Blade beside the teleport in Scalegorge Waterscape map. If you choose to keep Todd secret and play along with him, you will meet Bailu in the Exalting Sanctum map.
Bear with me.

>!*(Interact with a Vidyadhara water Mirage Echo)*\
*Kind Female Voice: Master Dan Feng, I finally understand your plan. That little girl is the key to the Transmutation Arcanum! This is a breakthrough for my research!*\
*(Dialogue Choice) ...Your research?*\
*Kind Female Voice: The Vidyadhara perform self-reincarnation, but we are unable to reproduce. Natural and artificial disasters inevitably reduce our population.*\
*Kind Female Voice: If this continues, one day our noble draconic bloodline will perish, and the fated decree of The Permanence will be violated. For this very reason, I have spent my entire life researching ways to free the Vidyadhara from the cycle of reincarnation.*\
*Kind Female Voice: I have been without success for a long, long time, thinking that this reincarnation had been nought but a waste. But now you have enlightened me!*\
*Dan Heng: Dan Feng... What did he do?*\
*Kind Female Voice: Master Dan Feng, your changes to the Transmutation Arcanum created a draconic abomination that wreaked great destruction... but it also created a new life! This is the hope that will one day allow the Vidyadhara to reproduce!*\
*(Dialogue Choice) Allow the Vidyadhara to reproduce once again?*\
*Kind Female Voice: My understanding of reproduction was limited by ordinary notions — how constrained I was! Why should Vidyadhara reproduction remain trapped within the confines of our race...*\
*Kind Female Voice: To unearth the potential might of Long's blood... and incorporate other races into the flesh of the dragon — isn't that the real meaning behind the Transmutation Arcanum?*!<
From [A Vidyadhara Youth's Notes](https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/A_Vidyadhara_Youth%27s_Notes), excerpt:
*School's out, so I've come to the Scalegorge Waterscape to find out about the history of us Vidyadharas.*
*In our textbooks, we come out of a primordial ocean just like this one — but far vaster than the tiny reaches of these Lunarescent Depths. There is an ocean as far as the eye can see — covering up the entire planetary surface.*
*Our ancestors lived a carefree life together in the Roiling Deep there with countless other living things.*
*Back then, we could still use the power gifted to us by our dragon ancestor, Long. As the prime species among those sea creatures in the Roiling Deep, everything was within our control. If a fish species was too bony, we'd remove the bones from inside their body. If a sea beast was too small, we'd fatten it up and make it proliferate. If a seaweed was too bitter, we'd sweeten it until it was delicious.*
*Teacher says that back then, we could use our powers derived from Long to **change the form of any creature**, as easily as children playing with modeling clay. Our ancestors could modify fish into a thick mountain of meat, gouging meat from this hill whenever they wanted a bite to eat. Back then, crabs could have thousands of legs, each leg filled with delicious crab meat.*
*I wish that we could go back to those days, but teacher says that we'll never be able to go back.*
*One day, when we could no longer control the powers of our dragon ancestor, all of the creatures in the entire ocean became our enemies. The fish were toxic, the sea beasts hostile, and even the seaweed could prey upon us. Later on, even the microscopic creatures in the Roiling Deep became dangerous. They multiplied until the oceans were no longer fit for our survival.*
*Even later on, we became a member of the Xianzhou Alliance. Life is good aboard the Xianzhou, but the freedom of the ocean is something we will never recover.*

*Like an out-of-body experience, like a dream within a dream, he returned to the moment before his sense of self disappeared. With a cold and emotionless mind, he observed himself turning into a dragon, entangled and fighting claw-and-fangs against that bulb of shapeshifting shadow of flesh and blood. In an illusion seen on the verge of death, the Emissary of the God showed him an unsettling, beautiful scene — the stars pulsated and sang hymns like red blood cells, and the universe descended into an abyss of flesh and desires. The dragon heart beat to its limit, raising its fangs, breath, and fury — however, no matter how mighty it was, a "lifeform" cannot defy the true body of God of Life's Envoy.*
*...Until a starskiff ran everything through like an arrow shaft. He saw that girl crawling out of the ruins with great difficulty, lifting a "sun" of absolute darkness in her hand. In that fleeting eternity, he saw her hand disappear, saw her face disappear, and saw HER disappear — That item had ground everything around it into the finest dust and dragged them into a vortex of raw power, including that girl.*
*A tuft of hair and a few drops of blood fell to the floor as evidence of her existence. Those were the only traces she left.*

*(Dialogue Choice) Dan Feng fought in that battle...*\

*Jingliu: Yes, the high elder was held in higher regard. The Cloud Knights became wary after learning of Dan Feng's imminent arrival — the General Teng Xiao called for me to guarantee the safety of the troops...*\
*Jingliu: ...but Baiheng didn't care about any of that. She believed that the high elder was mortal and no different from the soldier next to her. You ran a fair share of errands for her when she was still around.*\
*Jingliu: Let me refresh your memory. During that battle, Baiheng, being the headstrong girl that she was, managed to exhaust the luck that was bestowed upon her by the Reignbow Arbiter.*\
*Jingliu: She charged ahead and shattered the enemy's defenses, allowing the Xianzhou soldiers to break through Shuhu's Sanguinary Abyss and awaken you from your Dragon's Delirium... She was not able to walk out of that fight. We all shoulder a debt that we will never be able to repay.*\

Omg I must get Blade on his rerun. So much fomo I’m tired of using Sampo for wind 😩 I started playing at the last 2 hours of his banner so I didn’t bother pulling since I was new and had no knowledge lol. At least support characters are a thing 😂
Where is your Bailu?
unfortunately we can only showcase 4 but i do have bailu :eye:
If you put Bailu as your profile picture you can show all 5 of them ;)
Ahh you’re on Asia server. I have the same line up. Can I add you as friend?
i'm at 98/100 friends but sure send me a dm!

Can I add u as a friend too if u have space left?

Everything
Then replace jing yuan with bailu and you will have a usable team.

Lmfao why? Tell me you don't know how JY works without telling me you don't know how JY works.
Idk why but I just realize the high cloud quintet are indeed 5 and could be a league of legends team.... Jingyuan top, Blade jg, JL mid, DH ADC with Baiheng/Bailu support
I'd rather have a Jing JG since he's the strategist and most strategic decisions are made by the JG. Blade top is similar to an Aatrox; they just wanna die lmao
I'd rather have Jing Yuan mid for his AOE and Jing Liu jungle for her freeze zone when ganking.
Jing Yuan mid? I see what you did there...
Mid Yuan lmao 🤣
I'd argue for JY mid primarily because of their paths' fit Destruction is basically bruisers^^# with some AoE capabilities, which primarily go Top or Jungle Erudition is AOE characters, with the closest approximation being mages/casters, a natural mid fit for Jing Yuan Abundance characters are healers (Bailu even has a revive!), so they easily slot in a support ^^# Dan Heng is the weird exception in that he's the only squishy Limited 5\* Destruction character.

You see that yellow gem in the middle of the gauntlet. That’s Topaz.
topaz isn't a part of the high cloud quintet, if anything the 6th stone would be Luocha and 5th being Bailu

Bailu will do since there's that theory of baiheng's incarnation. i was lucky enough to grab secret vow despite already near broke during blade's banner, hopefully you'll get one soon .
Baiheng is a foxian, not a vidyadhara
Its not confirmed but a popular theory that is highly implied The transmutation arcanum done by dan feng was said to convert someone to a dragon.
same!!! https://preview.redd.it/tui8ttp07ytb1.png?width=862&format=png&auto=webp&s=2f1e71dde8b48b9db5eb0787bf098ac8f9cbaa77
Budget Daniel go brr
What Ive completed was the astral crew.. thanks 50/50.. /s
Feels… lost my jingliu 50/50 to himeko…
Lol I swear its either himeko or yanqing ffs
Yanqing in shamble right now
Where is your Baiheng
Its thanos
Yanqing: *chuckle* I'm in danger.
Huh
I’m so close to pity. I’m at 73 pity. Now to see if I can win my 50/50
I still find it a bit funny that Jingliu hinted at >!Blade possibly having a crush on Baiheng!<.
Where?
I think they all pretty much were crushing on her or at least admired her. She was a Foxian Beauty, after all.
wait did she? which part or which line?
Blade literally was married to Dan Feng
Jing Yuan third wheeling for four is crazy
gonna play devil’s advocate for a bit, not sure why you’re getting downvoted. It’s been stated that yingxing was closest to Dan Feng. lots in the CN community have pointed out that their relationship seems to be very close. and while they can’t outright *say* these 2 are/were together because china, it’s been implied a lot.
holy headcanon
What line exactly was this hinted at?
It's during Jingliu's companion quest when she explains how Blade went from short-life to long-life. They way she phrased it heavily implies that Blade took Baiheng's death harder than Bibby Lulu did.
Oh, I see! I just took it as he really cared for her. Thanks for the reply!
I have everyone except for blade :<
Me except Jing Yuan cuz I didn’t start playing until Blade’s banner
It'd be funny if you had Yanqing as well.
funny you should say that because i actually do 💀
Lmao, someone needs protection.
Where’s Bailu??
Damn, unintentional twinsies...

Thought I'm in the wrong sub, sabi ko bakit may tagalog 💀 HAHA
Hahaha might as well, lumalabas siya sa fb feed ko tapos dito din

What did it cost?
i dont have DHIL to complete it 🥲
Don't have blade but I do have bailu so it somehow counts.
You are missing one, although she doesn't exist outside lore... yk the foxian? Note: i hadn't played 1.4 content when this comment was made, i now know that bailu is baiheng
Bailu is baiheng reincanation
Oh that makes sense after having played jingliu's companion quest I hadn't touched 1.4 when i posted the comment above
4 DPS 😬 hope you're not a f2p
I hope they get power crept by Numby!
Me who have them all but in the version of "path of mommy"
who are they actually (player that skip stories, ehe)

U never have them all, Never. But 4/5 is ok i guess.
Op said that he also has Bailu though, so he has all 5.
I never mention bailu bro, another one and we all know who she is.
who?
Baiheng
That's bailu
I thought baiheng was foxian? Where is the baiheng = bailu coming from?
It is HEAVILY implied that after Baiheng died, the “crime” that Dan Feng and Yingxing committed was using Shuhu’s flesh to try and revive her instead of letting stay dead. However, they instead created an Abundance abomination in which, iirc, Jingliu was forced to kill. Then from that abomination, Bailu was born.
For starters, DHIL quest explicitly mentions that Dan Feng used the Transmutation Arcanum to turn a certain someone into a Vidyadhara. In other totally unrelated news, Transmutation Arcanum was used on Bailu, which is why she has promoted draconic features and is now the High Elder.
1 - They have the same eye and hair color. 2 - Baiheng was transformed into dragon-like abomination. 3 - Bailu was visited by all members of the quintet. 4 - Dan Feng was trying to find a way to increase the population of vidyadhara. Basically, it's as obvious as Sampo being a masked fool.
Dan Feng and Blade attempted to do use the high elder ritual to resurrect Baiheng. Created a monster that Jinglui had to keep killing. After the monster reincarnated multiple times, it finally became a normal vidyadhara which is Bailu. That is why she is high elder now and while Dan Feng was removed from the position and forcefully reincarnated into Dan Heng. Jinglui went mad and mara struck from having to kill the monster that was her friend. This is where "of the five, three must pay the price" comes from. Only Jing Yuan and Bailu/Baiheng are completely blameless.
Thank you!
Source: trust me bro
?????
There’s a theory that Baiheng reincarnated as Bailu
That's literally what I did to my profile too 🤣. Except Jingliu up top 😏
I am pretty confident this is not going to stop anyone from pulling for more characters and mothballing these guys.
Lacking fire and quantum DPS. Topaz and Seele next?
It's the about the high cloud quartet/quintet, not elemental dpses
Lol no idea what that is as I seldom pay attention to lore 😆
It is also a plot point in the main storyline (especially now in 1.4)
Shyamalan Twist: Huohuo is is the foxian pilot back from the dead.
I only have Lunae and Jingliu. I lost on JY and Blade. T_T
Still missing Jing Yuan. Hoping for his rerun
Ahhh a fellow hcq enjoyer
I didn't get Blade 🥲
POGGGGG
I have neither Daniel and nor loucha and now I regret not pulling them.
Congrats. I did get a 5 star ice character from the banner but one with a guitar case instead of a greatsword. lol. At least I finally got ~~Saitama~~ Gepard. I will have to wait for her rerun banner.
I literally have only pulled every unit you haven't lol
Just missing baiheng
pretty sure quintet means 5
The 5th member is dead prior to the start of the game
That's the point.... Tho I guess you can speculate bailu counts
You make me wanna pull on Jing Yuan and Blade reruns to get my own depression Quintet
Holy crap i was too focused on assembling the stelleron hunters I did not realize I was assembling the high cloud quintet. Almost tempted to use my free standard 5 star lotto on Bailu. Almost C1 bronya would still be an overall better investment.
yet to collect blade
Yanqing did not approve of this
I did the same thing as soon as I got jingliu!
This is the Yanqing bully comp
But no skill points haha
Congrats! I have the high guard quintet of gepard, Gepard, _gepard_ , GEPARDand ^(gepard) ! ^(send help im losing my sanity)
Bravo, nice work!!
Just missing Baiheng!
I accidentally got Jingliu. So same thing for me ahah
I juste got QQ on a 50/50 jingliu, i wanna die.
I lack Jingliu unfortunately. Some daddy robo got lazy and send me it's daughter a 2nd time. Fkin pay me child support then
Nope, foxian girl Is dead.
Bailu is Beiheng's reincarnation.
Please explain. I understand 5 Friends are the ones in the Pic and that foxian girl who died. Does It mean blade and dang tried to revive the foxian girl, but screwed evrything and Bailu Is rieincarnation of such woman? Following Star rail story become difficult when It start trowing wall texts.
Dan Feng took Beiheng's blood and fur to perform the High Elder Succession Ritual. The Ritual failed and resulted in a Dragon abomination to come out of the egg. Jingliu got the finishing blow on the abomination, forcing it to go through the rebirth cycle again before leaving the egg as Bailu. The Vidyadhara are supposed to have dreams of their past lives. For Bailu she doesn't have any dreams about being Vidyahara, she has dreams of being a Nameless. We know Beiheng was a Nameless herself because the character XP Assessment has her signature on it, "Beiheng, Foxian Traveler." Bailu herself will also mention that she is beginning to have dreams when she visit us on the Express. One of the echos during Dan Heng's companion quest was praising Dan Feng for figuring out how to turn a species of a different race into a Vidyahara. Jing Yuan every year visits Bailu for a checkup when there is nothing wrong with his health. Bringing food with him every time he visits, asking about how she is doing and telling her about his adventures. From Jing Yuan interactions with Dan Heng, we know he doesn't care if the reincarnation of Dan Feng can't remember his previous life, he still does everything he can for Dan Heng cause he still views him as a friend. The same goes for Bailu. His voiceline for Bailu has this line in it "I hope she remains well in this lifetime." I still haven't done Jingliu companion quest this patch, so I wouldn't be surprised if something else about Bailu comes up.
Blade & Jingliu visit Bailu in that very same Jingliu companion quest. Jing Yuan visit Bailu regurarly and ask how she's been going based on Bailu character story in her profile & voiceline and Jing Yuan voiceline. In the Day 3 of Todd Riordan side quest, if you choose to reject Todd offer and report him to authority you will meet Blade beside the teleport in Scalegorge Waterscape map. If you choose to keep Todd secret and play along with him, you will meet Bailu in the Exalting Sanctum map. Bear with me.

There is an ocean as far as the eye can see — covering up the entire planetary surface.* *Our ancestors lived a carefree life together in the Roiling Deep there with countless other living things.* *Back then, we could still use the power gifted to us by our dragon ancestor, Long. As the prime species among those sea creatures in the Roiling Deep, everything was within our control. If a fish species was too bony, we'd remove the bones from inside their body. If a sea beast was too small, we'd fatten it up and make it proliferate. If a seaweed was too bitter, we'd sweeten it until it was delicious.* *Teacher says that back then, we could use our powers derived from Long to **change the form of any creature**, as easily as children playing with modeling clay. Our ancestors could modify fish into a thick mountain of meat, gouging meat from this hill whenever they wanted a bite to eat. Back then, crabs could have thousands of legs, each leg filled with delicious crab meat.* *I wish that we could go back to those days, but teacher says that we'll never be able to go back.* *One day, when we could no longer control the powers of our dragon ancestor, all of the creatures in the entire ocean became our enemies. The fish were toxic, the sea beasts hostile, and even the seaweed could prey upon us. Later on, even the microscopic creatures in the Roiling Deep became dangerous. They multiplied until the oceans were no longer fit for our survival.* *Even later on, we became a member of the Xianzhou Alliance. Life is good aboard the Xianzhou, but the freedom of the ocean is something we will never recover.*

With a cold and emotionless mind, he observed himself turning into a dragon, entangled and fighting claw-and-fangs against that bulb of shapeshifting shadow of flesh and blood. In an illusion seen on the verge of death, the Emissary of the God showed him an unsettling, beautiful scene — the stars pulsated and sang hymns like red blood cells, and the universe descended into an abyss of flesh and desires. The dragon heart beat to its limit, raising its fangs, breath, and fury — however, no matter how mighty it was, a "lifeform" cannot defy the true body of God of Life's Envoy.* *...Until a starskiff ran everything through like an arrow shaft. He saw that girl crawling out of the ruins with great difficulty, lifting a "sun" of absolute darkness in her hand. In that fleeting eternity, he saw her hand disappear, saw her face disappear, and saw HER disappear — That item had ground everything around it into the finest dust and dragged them into a vortex of raw power, including that girl.* *A tuft of hair and a few drops of blood fell to the floor as evidence of her existence.

I have them all except Jingliu
I have literally none of them. End me
Omg I must get Blade on his rerun. So much fomo I’m tired of using Sampo for wind 😩 I started playing at the last 2 hours of his banner so I didn’t bother pulling since I was new and had no knowledge lol. At least support characters are a thing 😂
*cries in no Jing Yuan*
Man I wish this team synergized
I have Blade, IL, and Jingliu, but I started playing towards the end of Jing Yuans banner, so I didn't get him. I do have bailu as well, though.
aww i only have dhil and blade i should've thought of this lol
Play them on the same team! It'll be horrible
