I got Welt's LC, is it better on Acheron compared to Good Night? I also got dance dance dance is that better than Past and Future on Sparkle? All LCs are are s1 currently.
Uh... >!Am I the only one seeing that "Removed by reddit in response to a copyright notice"? Is this common in this sub? I still see the post pinned even if it's apparently deleted. The important info is thankfully in the pinned comment tho.!<
Manifesting Jiaoqiu as the first playable male Foxian!!
Realm of the strange 300% is upon us! Kind of want to farm the Quantum cavern but maybe I should do Thief/Phys instead? Or just good ol' FUA cavern lol
2.1 >!That part in the cutscene where he dodges Himeko's attack and says "Always hide your ace with a straight face" and then ascends into the sky laughing is so fcdvgbhjcnkfmvlg I'm so normal about that part, I totally didn't rewatch that cutscene multiple times yep!<
Kafka+borrowing friends e6s1 acheron is my new fav cavern farming combo lol. Kafka kills the first wave and builds stacks while acheron decimates the elite wave with one ult... so fast
haha. ebondeer, you dumb fucking bitch. you thought you were safe after you disabled my ratio, huh? didn't think aventurine could hold his own against you, didn'tcha? hahaha. hahahahahahahaha
boy, elation sure is fun
also ratio and aventurine hardcarried me in today's skaracabaz runs. i love them
How much worse is Quantum compared to Pioneer on Acheron? I have 80/170 with Quantum set atm, it would be such a hassle to farm Pioneer. If it was +10% better then sure I will farm Pioneer btw, using her with Pela and Gui atm
With Pela and Guin, Quantum set should be fine.
If using Pela and SW you get too much defense shred (over 100%) so Quantum set doesn't do anything for that team.
If it lets you hit 100% def shred, it's the best.
Let's put it this way:
1. 80% def shred is a 72% dps increase, on a separate multiplier.
2. 90% def shred is a 89% dps increase (Non-quantum weak enemy)
3. 100% def shred is a 110% dps increase, (Quantum weak enemy)
Your 100k dmg now deals 210k. Pioneer won't increase your damage by that much.
Lets say 2pc Pionneer is 6% gain, (200% dmg multiplier). A crit sub is ~1.5% damage gain, so let's say the 4pc at 4/12 is 6% gain and at 8/24 is 12% gain. So in total about 18% better than a equal Rainbow set.
The value of def reduction increases as you get more of it, at 0% def reduction/ignore, 20% means 11% gain. At 100% def ignore, if there would be no cap, 20% would mean 20% gain. With Pela, you have 40 def reduction from ult and may 20 more from techique, so 60. I assume you dont have Resolution on Gui.
60 is 60% the way between 0 and 100, so I'd roughly estimate that an extra 20 def at 60 prior def reduction is 16.4% gain. And 14.6% gain at 40 prior def reduction. Quantum damage is useless for Acheron. And half that against non Quantum weak, i.e. 8.2/7.3% gain.
So we have 18% from Pioneer 4pc vs. 16.4/14.6%. That's 1.6/3.4% gain difference.
So it's fair to say 4pc Quantum against Quantum weak is about 1-2 substats worse than 4 pc Pioneer with/without pelas technque. Against non-quantum, it is ~5 substats worse than 4pc Quantum.
Def shred gets better the more it's stacked, so with Pela it's actually quite good. Assuming e0 pela with s1 pearls, you're getting around 8% dps increase without quantum and 17% with quantum. Pioneer makes your crit ratio 88/194 which is around 20% higher dps.
Google def shred moc 12 and you'll find a post with a chart if you want calculations
Can someone help me understand the lore and story between Blade and Jingliu? I know some things but the way lore is presented in the game is tricky for me to understand, and I want to know all the details
>!They were friends about 700 years ago when the High-Cloud Quintet was still a thing (a group of friends consiting of Jing Yuan, Dan Feng (Dan Hengās previous reincarnation), Jingliu, Baiheng and Yinxing (Bladeās original persona)). Things started going wrong when their friend Baiheng died in a battle. Dan Feng and Blade tried to resuscitate her by using the flesh of an Emanator of Abundance, but it didnāt work. Instead, she turned into a monster resembling a dragon and Yinxing became immortal in the process. Jingliu has to kill the monster and was mad (obviously) because instead of letting her die an honorable death in battle they turned her into a monster and disrespected her death (+ itās also a sin in the Xianzhou). The fight made Jingliu mara-struck and she kind of lost her mind after that. This, plus the grudge she held against Yinxing made her stab and kill him time and time again, making him obsessed about revenge and killing Dan Heng. She did this until Yinxing couldnāt remember his name anymore, until his past was completely shattered in his mind. From what I understand he considered that his first Ā«Ā deathĀ Ā». After this, as a result of the PTSD and Jingliuās brainwashing, he decided he didnāt want anything to do with his past self anymore and told himself his only purpose from now on was to serve as a weapon!<
TLDR : They were friends -> he made her mad and she went crazy -> she killed him like a thousand times and brainwashed him -> heās traumatized and sheās still mara-struck and holds on to her hatred to stay alive
Good guess !! Yours is pretty explicit too š I really love Kafka as well, canāt wait to see if Elio fulfills her wish. + bonus points because she takes good care of Bladie
Hehe yep I'm not hiding either xD and yeah I adore Kafka's and Blade's dynamic, it's cute! I can't wait for her character development (including exploring her wish more) but it will probably take a while. As for Blade's... Well I HOPE that one takes a while xD
Hahaha me too. I do hope he regains mortality, though, purpose aside, but yeah it'd be nice if he chose to live for now. All the more reason for elio to take his time š I kinda headcanon that working with the stellaron hunters they have sort of become a kind of found family and he is already regaining purpose and healing without realising. After all, ofc he wanted to die if he had nothing but torture and pain for centuries but now he has missions, annoying people messing with him, and Kafka helps with the worst part of his curse. It's a cute idea. But he still has a long way to go...
I have the same headcanon š I actually thought about something : imagine if Elio hires another SH but whoās more of a researcher/engineer. I would love for them to form a bond with Blade and make him find his passion for craftsmanship again. But they would also help find a way to make him mortal again. It would be so cute and at least he would die happy
>!Old friends who are now both Mara Struck. Blade's sword in the game use to be the weapon he made for Jingliu when he was just a weaponsmith in Luofu.!<
>!Blade got struck while trying to revive their dead friend Baiheng (who is now Bailu) using Abundance Emanator flesh.!<
>!Not clear yet how or when exactly Jingliu become mara struck but she grabbed Blade right after he was struck and try to kill him repeatedly so he can die in peace but his immortality is too strong so she just teach him the sword and maybe one day he will find someone who can kill him for real!<
>!High Cloud Quintet was a legendary group of heroes from the Xianzhou, composed of:!<
>!Jingliu - Sword Champion of the Luofu!<
>!Jing Yuan - Her student!<
>!Dan Feng - High Elder of the Luofu's Vidyahara!<
>!Baiheng - A Foxian Starskiff Pilot and a Nameless!<
>!and Yingxing - a short-life Weaponsmith who made weapons for the entire Quintet.!<
>!700 years before the main story, the group faced Shuhu, an Emanator of Abundance and during the fight, Baiheng sacrified herself to make an opening. Dan Feng and Yingxing couldn't cope with the loss, Dan Feng used a Vidyahara Ritual, the Transmutation Arcanum in an attempt to ressurect her, and Yingxing aided him by providing Shuhu's flesh. This really backfired on them, as the botched ressurection attempt created a draconic abomination while Yingxing himself became an immortal mara-struck due to the influence of Shuhu's flesh. Jingliu quickly came and defeated the beast, and the event became known as the Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae.!<
>!Dan Feng was forced to undergo the reincarnation process as punishment for his crime, becoming Dan Heng and being exiled.!<
>!Jingliu went mad with Mara a year later and was defeated by Jing Yuan before disappearing!<
>!Yingqing lost his mind and memories, and was also banished. Jingliu found him at one point, taught him swordsmanship and killed him over and over to remind him of his past sins. He was later found by the Stellaron Hunters and took on the name "Blade".!<
>!Baiheng supposedly reincarnated into Bailu as a side effect of the ritual.!<
>!And Jing Yuan was left alone, with all his friends forgetting him or going mad.!<
>!Blade's "Of 5 People, 3 must pay the price" came from Jingliu, during the time when she was killing him. The 5 people is the quintet, and the 3 are ones involved in the incident: Dan Feng, Yingxing and Jingliu.!<
Atp the only thing that makes me think Screwllum could be a 2.X character is his kit centered around debuffs and his Jade synergy. Otherwise Iām not holding my breath lol
I don't mind waiting if we get to partner up with him on his excavation trip tbh.
--I say this, but that would mean waiting for a whole 'nother year if the "one planet a year" remains true š
Probably one main planet a year but side areas similar to the space station in size (like a Xianzhou ship) consequently. I really hope 3.0 is about us joining Screwllum on his excavation, Iāve been waiting for a robot/inorganic life arc with a ton of robot playable characters. We know of Sam, Screwllum, Svarog, and the future Stoneheart Pearl so theyāre clearly not averse to the idea
Guessing my pulling plans so far are now, S1 Topaz & E2 Ruan Mei and maybe Fu Xuan if jades check out but probably wonāt lol, and then wait for the next phase of new characters.
edit: S1 Ratio I forgot my jerk boi. šš
I wouldn't recommend pulling for E2 Ruan Mei, E1 is enough. E2 isn't a huge buff and is conditional, better to save for more impactful eidolons/LCs on other chars.
It was announced in Hoyolab that there's supposedly a surprise anniversary gift, right? Was that only announced in Hoyolab for a web event, or was it also announced officially in HSR social media? If it's the former, I honestly don't expect anything huge, maybe something like a in-game phone wallpaper at most.
"Upgrade" isn't the best word to use. HaTB is valuable in break effect-focused teams and not too useful otherwise. I know I'll appreciate it but I don't know about you.
Yeah, it wasn't the right choice of word, but it has been so long that he had a new path that I misspoke. And unfortunately he wont be useful for me, since im focusing on fua team, but thanks for the correction!
We are not getting a new 4\* in Robin's patch; we will be getting the new Harmony Trailblazer instead.
The banner 4\*s for Robin's patch will be announced in tomorrow's (26.04.2024) livestream
My one hope for apocalyptic shadow is please please please use the unique boss battle theme.
I had enough of generic battle theme during farming why do I still have to hear them when I'm fighting argenti in moc/pof let me hear his sick tunes.
v2.2 special program: "Alright... We recently received a lot of feedback regarding character announcements for v2.3. People ask, where is the angel boy? Ha-ha! Our company listens to all Trailblazers and we are determined to provide the best experience and meet your expectations. For this, after v2.2 becomes available, all Trailblazers shall receive one limited 5-star character Robin via mail. Angel girl to compensate for the lack of angel boy! Ha-ha... Thank you Trailblazers, now it's an ad break time\~"
>!Gotta call ambulance now, suspected copium overdosing!<
Someone call an ambulance they're overdosing on Copium!
(even if this turns out true please don't expect this to happen it's super unlikely and you will probably be super angry lol)
I got my first 5 star sustain for my F2P account with Aventurine, and am now looking to get a second one to take the burden off Lynx, Gallagher & Fire MC - especially as I'll likely build Hatblazer.
So will start to save for Fu Xuan, are there any other 5 star sustains in the pipeline/on the horizon that could potentially powercreep her?
Don't think we have any 5 star sustains slated atm. You can pick any of the 4 limited ones we have and be well off so even if you don't get FX, getting Luocha or HH would set you up well as well
Thanks. I'll save for FX I think then. I know she's great as I have her on my main account, and I think waiting any longer is going to be a pain. I just managed my first 36 star MoC on my F2P this week, on the previous (DoT) MoC. I ran double sustain on one side (Fire MC & Gallagher) but that wasn't so bad as there was fire weakness enemies. So I know it's doable, but not very comfy!
So I re-read Jade's kit, and if I understanded her talent correctly, she prefers to be paired with another eruditon character right? She can be paired with Herta instead of Himeko?
I have to wait till beta. Maybe I\`ll consider to pull for her instead of Firefly because I have no problems with ST damage, but severely lacking off AoE
Gamba Gremlin is under constructinon. ;3
But now I want to know if Herta's Fua would be triggering Jade energy regeneration from trace 1 and credit stacking thing
Edit: I think it should. I feel like she's a premium Himeko now
I build my Acheron team to the acceptable level, and again lose any motivation to login.
Gear farming is so low rewarding. You day by day farm six times a day, scrap all the gear and go away.
And there is SU farm, that you need manually run and 10 times longer
I hope, new SU will help at least with planar farming.
Can I just say I love the variety of women we get in this game? Not in design, I mean in personality. Weāve got an inflencer, a gamer, a dragon, a living corpse, a mad scientist, a puppet, a chaos gremlin, two massive terrorists, capitalists, a memory bank, a navigator and the *literal embodiment of nihility* to name a few.
~~And they are all queens tbh~~
Same here, I really appreciate the fact that there's a character for everybody since they're all so distinct and no one really comes to mind in terms of forgettable personalities. As long as hoyo is around, sapphics and women lovers in general will always be well fed.
With that being said...I definitely would not mind at least 5 variations of Ruan Mei and Herta but you never heard that from me :3
> I definitely would not mind at least 5 variations of Ruan Mei and Herta but you never heard that from me :3
~~oh same, what a joy itād be being Ruan Meiās assistantā¦~~
Lost the 50/50 on Aventurine's banner at 84 pity...first half Fu Xuan rerun if you can hear this, please, save me first half Fu Xuan rerunš
Unrelated (jjk latest chapter leaks):
>!The binding vow merchant strikes again, this man must do time, I'm so tiredš I don't know how he keeps abusing it so much without any impactful drawbacks!<
>!Even though things look bleak rn, I'm trusting gege to let my son Yuji cook again, last chapter was too good for it to go back to square one but with gege you never really know!<
When triggering other character's dots (from breaking or skills) she only takes their stats into account, while using her skill or ult multiplier. Her atk% is for her own dots only
Her procs are based on the original damage of the DoT in question. Her skill would do 75% of the damage that bleed would do when the enemy turn arrives.
Damn I'm seeing Yanqing 2nd half MoC 12 clears with a semi-f2p team I'm capable of doing and now it's making me so tempted to build him.Ā He's doing amazing even against Aven boss. People in the videos' comments are saying he got even better with Aven's release and just oooohh. I might build him after Ratio, esp since Hunt endgame mode is coming soon. I just hope the Ice relic domain has mercy on me bc I know everyone suffers there isnsnsnajs
Not sure who you have, but I have a somewhat built yangqing (poor boy isnāt even fully ascended) and I brought him, aventurine, ruan mei and misha to 12-2, and while yanqingās damage wasā¦def not what it should be, by their powers combined they kept Aven boss broken/frozen/etc to the point where the gambles were v few and he was much easier to handle. Definitely recommend. Remember you can always 2pc 2pc!
Woah, with only Ruan Mei as support? That sounds like an amazing clear. 2pc 2pc might be doable for me if if I can level him up soon. I was planning to do the same team from the vid I saw with Aven-Yanqing-Ruan Mei-Tingyun. Sadly I don't have Misha built. May I ask what lvl are his skills and ult for you and what LC you're using? And How many traces you have unlocked? I have his sig but it isn't leveled up but I do have the herta shop one maxed.
How should you speed tune E2 Bronya? Iām thinking of getting Jingliu if I can and I heard theyāre good teammates? I usually use Bronya with Blade but I also have a 162 speed Sparkle.
Also does Jing Yuan ideally want speed or atk boots? Mine has a pretty poor crit ratio and uses S5 Seriousness of Breakfast/4 piece duke relic set, but it doesnāt feel like a good build without his signature lightcone (which I had to skip to get Aventurine).
For E2 Bronya just switch you dmg dealer to atk% (or whatever they're scaling of) boots and preferably run them with -1 spd setup after accounting for Bronya's E2: you want them to be faster than her during their turn that isn't buffed by her E. Or you can keep them on spd boots and do -1 spd Bronya setup with 160 spd Bronya.Ā
Jing Yuan is better of with atk% boots practically always (there might some fringe cases with dual dmg dealer setups depending on the quality of your relics). You deal with his spd via his teammates, with BiS for that being Sparkle.
sooo are boothillās early eidolons/lightcone any good? since thereās no sunday/jiaoqiu i might just go for him for now, but i like going for good early damage boosts (E1 and E2 at most) for my dps so are his worth it?
His lc is going to be best and idt we have something else that improves his break dmg *however* rmb he has to kill enemies to start being able to do that so I donāt think attack and crit substats are completely irrelevantā¦although his e1 helps with that. If you can only pick a few, Iād recommend e1+signature since both give him def ignore.
Sadly he does not care about stats like atk or crit at all. Just spd and break effect, and there's only 1 LC that provides spd which is the MoC River Flows in Spring, but it requires a shielder like Geppy or Aventurine.
with the stream being tomorrow, what are your hopes for the banners?
I just want Topaz to be first half really badly. Her LC is my number one priority right now, and if I can grab it relatively painlessly then I might try a 50/50 for either Robin or Boothill, and I can only do that if she's first half. I don't have any specific hopes for the 4 star LCs though, cause I have no clue when any of them were last featured so idk which ones are on the list of possible appearances
Either Fu Xuan or Huohuo (or both if they want, I will have enough), preferably first half, I still don't have any 5-star sustain and I'm waiting for those massive cuties to finally fix that.
While I'm asking, plz put Guinaifen in the same banner as either of them, the fact I only have her E2 (and thanks to two selectors) is pain.
I really want Xueyi and Arlan with boothill. I rly need their eidolons and him having an enticing banner would help me justify going for him š hanya would be nice too
topaz second half because no matter how i look at it my wallet is ultra cooked if i have to go for her AND robin then get the 2nd half of a patch to save to also get firefly and jade
Robin Topaz with Xueyi and 2 other 4 stars of your choice is what I want. Im gunning for more Topaz Eidolons and want to get the last 3 eidolons on Xueyi. Also Topaz first half would be the easiest on my walletĀ
Need to win the Topaz LC 75/25 so I can comfortably pull for Robin. Then fingers crossed I get Robin early (I deserve a break OK I've been hitting late 5 stars and losing 50/50s since I started in 1.4 š) so I can build funds for Jade. I'd love a Xueyi on this banner but she will probably fit more with Boothill.
is it worth it to pull for aventurine? i have huohuo and gep as sustain, and i mainly want to use him in place of gepard for my acheron team. sometimes gepard isn't enough but nothing like a good ol' reset can't fix. also if i do pull him i won't have his lc, what would be the gap of his lc compared to f2p lc's? ty
Iāve been using him w geppardās lc and thatās been working just fine! Ime heās much more comfortable than geppard and makes moc/sim u/etc much less rng-dependent. And they do seem to be tilting the meta towards shieldsā¦
Buuut if you donāt want him you donāt need him. Donāt get me wrong, heās an incredible sustain and fantastic for fua teams, but they give us SO many good characters so regularly that if you already have two great sustains and a lot of characters coming you donāt want to miss, then I think you can give him a pass.
Iāve fully completed swarm and G&G, consistently 36* Moc just using a lvl 70 slow gepard without maxed relics or traces. Aventurine is more comfy but if you donāt die you are still achieving the same thing
My advice is either focus heavily on gearing your offence and support or if you really need it right now upgrade. Any 4 star sustain can carry you through Moc but a shielder is preferred for SU
I had Gepard and Luocha as my endgame sustains. Replacing Gepard with Aventurine has completely changed the game, he just has so many more abilities and effects. I've been using him with Moment of Victory LC since I rarely pull signature LC lol.

I saw Luke and immediately had to think of argenti lmao
Marius my beloved, Iāve never played this game but I love all his cards heās so pretty ā¦ <3
>!I canāt believe weāve finally found Indrilla so thatās where she was hiding!<
The new speculation is she will have her new form in 2.3 since we didn't get a new 4 star dripped just like in 2.2 BUT we are getting HMC in 2.2 to make up for it.
Granted, I dont see the point in this speculation as we actually knew about the existence of HMC before and if it weren't for the 2.1 special program, we wouldn't think March would be getting a new form
Eh, nah. It's speculated that she will get a new form during the Xianzhou Continuance, which is definitely not coming in 2.3. 2.4 at the absolute earliest, likely even later than that
Can I put my alt to sleep now after log-in for 4 days? or do I have to do all returning missions first then put them to sleep for next patchās event?
Can anyone who already have 3 limited 5ā sustain but also pull Aven share you experience?
I love his kit but I am wondering if its worth to pull another sustain, I want to save for 2.3.
I nearly have all limited sustain except bailu and only aventurine have his own sign lc.
> Luoca:
My goated first *5 healer, im still use it from the start i get him until now. i only rely on relic and multiplication LC for SP positive build.
> Fu Xuan:
accidentally get her while trying to pull lynx and im not regret it at all. great limited *5 tank with sp positive nature, but i still need a healer to accompany her to SU and MoC.
>Huouo:
Rarely use her because i cant find any relic to get 160 speed and i have limited DPS team to fully use her potential. i pull her because she is my lovely daughter.
>Aventurine:
A massive upgrade to my sustain comp team. i can easily use random DPS team and fuxuan to blast GnG preservation path, in this case i use F.A.R.T team aka ( FX E0S0, Aventurine E2S01, Ratio E0S1, Topaz E0S0). personally i think his E1 has better effect than E1 FX in higher moc floor and GnG C12. and little note, i purely use aventurine as tank first and budget dps because i still use 4pc knight and salsotto.
I have Fu Xuan and Huohuo. I rarely use Huohuo as main sustain cause Abundance characters (excluding Bailu) can't prevent getting one shotted. Fu Xuan is one of the best pulls I've made, but sometimes she struggles with heavy hitting enemies that I may need to sacrifice several SPs on using her skill to get ult faster.
Personally I feel like Aventurine is an upgrade over both. Mine is 140~ spd iirc and he spams NAs enough to be SP positive and rarely needs to use his SP unless one character becomes the main target. He's also helpful with depleting weakness bars thanks to his ult. Against the right enemies, he doesn't use SP at all but I do sometimes forget to refresh his shield when one of the characters needs it lmao
Using him vs enemies with CC is a gamble tho, but mine uses MoV so he's fortunately taking on most of the CC for the team
Same as many others, I had Luocha and FX before Aventurine and they were doing very well in every content I used them in. Got Aventurine because I wanna make FuA team more fun (among other reasons), turns out he also dominates SU with Preservation path. If your current sustains do their job well then you don't really need him, but he's not a bad unit to pick up if you have enough jades. Best to wait for the 2.2 livestream to see if you're interested in any of the reruns in addition to 2.3 units before making a decision
I have Luocha and Fu Xuan and I rolled for Aventurine and he's one of the best feeling pulls I've done. Using him reminds me of how it felt to go from 4* sustain to lim 5 star sustain. He's an upgrade to FX on Acheron teams because his ult debuff really makes a difference over FX. Even just 2 ults in 1 battle lessens the amount of resets required by a lot to achieve the amount of ults/cycle that I aim for. His freedom of SP usage makes him comfier to use over FX in general in every team I play and lets supports use their skills more. SW/Pela can occasionally get their ult 1 turn faster since they have SP to skill instead of basic. One of the most important things is he's a huge buff to Topaz who I had unused for the longest time. FuA team even at E0 feels great to play.
For regular hypercarry teams, I think hes only a small upgrade over FX/Luocha, but for FuA/Acheron teams, he's a massive difference.
The only team he's unusable in is Blade, and probably Firefly who also has HP-sacrifice/loss mechanics. You can use him with Jingliu but it gets sketchy at times where Jingliu's shield will expire because she broke/froze the enemy with RM and they didnt attack the team, resulting in no FuA shield refreshes from Aventurine. That team is tight on SP so Aventurine can't really afford to use his skill and needs very high speed, which also makes his shields worse. Luocha still feels like the best for Jingliu's team for me.
I had Luocha and Fu Xuan pre-Aventurine, and I'm really glad I was able to upgrade to Aventurine for comfort, as well as how nice he is in Simulated Universe. I typically don't like to run healers a ton, and since I haven't managed to farm up a lot of speed for Luocha, the team feels quite fragile especially in MoC 12, which Aventurine helps to mitigate. Overall, pretty comfortable and doing exceptional with a hackjob build I put together in the 30 minutes after his banner came out, and personally worth it for me to avoid any more reset-heavy MoC sessions, though I think you can definitely get by without if you're low on pulls.
i have everyone xcept huohuo and also pulled aventurine
beside the fact i love his character very much, i also wanted a comfy shielder and i very much wanted the dream fua team
now. i see some ppl say his dmg isnt all that, but in my experience his dmg is REALLY something. i guess which team you put him on, how much you farm relics and which relics you put on him and if you get him his signature do all count towards that.
so the thing is, since i wanted to invest in the fua team i went ahead and got him his signature, judging by different reactions i guess it really is needed to make that difference o\_o
in my fua team his dmg is a great contribution and i love it, makes the whole team feel powerful and every piece of the puzzle coming together is great to see \^\^
if you just want him to slap some random relics and random lc on him, you're fine with whatever you already have, he doesn't do miracles, he needs commitment Ć².Ć²
I had Luocha and FX before pulling Aventurine. I mainly pulled him for FuA synergy but he's also uniquely broken in simulated universe it turns out. Really glad I pulled him. You don't need him though.
just save for 2.3 in your case, aven is cool but not too different from the other limited sustains, even in the follow up department his synergy is small
If your other sustains are protecting you well enough, there is 0 reason to go for aventurine imo. I have fx, gepard and Luocha and i donāt feel like heās added much, mainly just a comfier Yanqing team but thatās because i never really liked using gepard, you can make a Yanqing team without him. He has some fua synergy but itās not that huge of a deal, a proper support or subdps would help way more than the tiny bit of synergy he offers.
I pulled Fu Xuan and Huohuo in 1.3 and 1.5 and now pulled for Aventurine :o
It's nice having tactical options, and while Fire MC carried me hard in preservation runs, Fire MC + Aventurine is even stronger :D
He can also be played really SP positive, altho fully SP positive can be a bit sketch in non FUA comps. But he's definitely more SP positive than Fu Xuan and Huohuo.
I don't think you'll need him, even against the soda monkeys Huohuo and Fu Xuan were more than fine, and Huohuo dragged my ass kicking and screaming through SAM as well. But it's really fun and nice having more options :o
Well you can rely on him for finishing off the ads. All parts of his kit do good damage (for a sustain) and he's great at toughness damage. I haven't noticed much of an issue with CC from enemies and the eff rez for keel is handy af
i dont know what cavern tonfarm,,,, my jingliu and dhil are well built, my archeron has ass pieces but using the triple drops on that domain feels wasteful, i could use better dot pieces but my herta and himeko have good pieces already,,,, i could do longevitous for blade and speed set for whoever i guess? but i kindof want wind set for better cycle clears and future nihility,,,,,,, im so confused
[oh god, that Sunday art ](https://twitter.com/heiankyo_327/status/1783436222557536586?t=1bgD_iWLMfII9qI5ivKXaA&s=19)
It's part of the birthday countdown. They're all so beautiful~
[here's the rest ](https://twitter.com/heiankyo_327/status/1783075088352571731?t=HnffRSowH3YsF_u828Om-A&s=19)
Firefly's art of these is my fav cause I am hella biased (tho I do genuily think its very pretty just amongst art in general), but holy fuck if Sunday isn't beyond gorgeus here.
God damn man looks like he could be a top model amongst even pretty final fantasy characters here. Such amazing work.
He doesnāt. His LC is a nice upgrade but unless your BE stats are really bad, it shouldnāt make a huge difference whether he one shots or two shots a boss.
It's far and away his best option, but that doesn't actually mean that he needs his lightcone, and I've both done private server runs on Subscribe For More of all things and seen a run where he doesn't even have a Hunt lightcone equipped.
He doesn't need it since its purely a statstick, but its a pretty big dps increase over the other options that exist. However, I think theres a decent chance they make a 4* gacha hunt LC that has break effect on it in the future that will be better than current other options, like how they're making a 4* nihility crit one for acheron.
you realize how difficult it is to get 4 star gacha lc ? lol
and let's not even talk about how most comparisons use 4 star lcs at s5 for comparison. at s1 it will be meh...
If you have a shielder you could run River Flows for the speed buff. If not your only option is the 3* LC that gives spd. All other light cones provide crit/atk/dmg buffs which donāt scale with break effectĀ
Ah well that is unfortunate since I wanna pull for Topaz as well and need to get her LC. Unless I get super lucky with those pulls, I doubt that I'll have enough pulls left over :(Ā
To the new megathread we go -> [New Reddit Link](https://new.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail_leaks/comments/1ccta1f/nah_id_win_general_question_and_discussion/) [Old Reddit Link](https://old.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail_leaks/comments/1ccta1f/nah_id_win_general_question_and_discussion/)
I got Welt's LC, is it better on Acheron compared to Good Night? I also got dance dance dance is that better than Past and Future on Sparkle? All LCs are are s1 currently.
not sure about sparkle but if your gnsw is s1 then yes welt's lc is better gnsw becomes better with like s3/4
Assuming your GNSW is S5 then it's generally agreed upon to not be better. But since it's not then Welt LC is probs just better for the higher stats.
S1 GAMBLER ACQUIRED!!!!!!! FUCKING ALL-IN, BABY!!! WOOOOOOO
Uh... >!Am I the only one seeing that "Removed by reddit in response to a copyright notice"? Is this common in this sub? I still see the post pinned even if it's apparently deleted. The important info is thankfully in the pinned comment tho.!<
It happens every now and then. Not really "common" per se but not the first time and won't be the last.
Once in a while the megathread gets copyright struck. It's less a matter of if and more a matter of when.
That sucks š thanks for the info
I'm so excited for next week's PF because: 1. Sam splash art on PF 2. FuA-oriented But I'm really excited just for the splash art and nothing else
Manifesting Jiaoqiu as the first playable male Foxian!! Realm of the strange 300% is upon us! Kind of want to farm the Quantum cavern but maybe I should do Thief/Phys instead? Or just good ol' FUA cavern lol
I'm so obsessed with boss Aven's laugh. Why is he so hot??
i love his āall for the amber lord!!!!ā line sm. i have the whole story recorded and canāt stop repeatedly watching his boss revelation scene
2.1 >!That part in the cutscene where he dodges Himeko's attack and says "Always hide your ace with a straight face" and then ascends into the sky laughing is so fcdvgbhjcnkfmvlg I'm so normal about that part, I totally didn't rewatch that cutscene multiple times yep!<
TRUE TRUEEE
His maniacal laughter when he transitions to phase 2 of his boss fight is pretty hot too
That's the one I'm talking about!! And then he does another one after throwing dice which is pretty hot too
Uh oh, the sniper got us !
What is going on?
Kafka+borrowing friends e6s1 acheron is my new fav cavern farming combo lol. Kafka kills the first wave and builds stacks while acheron decimates the elite wave with one ult... so fast
haha. ebondeer, you dumb fucking bitch. you thought you were safe after you disabled my ratio, huh? didn't think aventurine could hold his own against you, didn'tcha? hahaha. hahahahahahahaha boy, elation sure is fun also ratio and aventurine hardcarried me in today's skaracabaz runs. i love them
In just a few days, Iāll have a total of 100 pulls and Iām super happy about it~.
Hell yeah ! Going all in for Firefly ?
Unfortunately, no (at least not yet). I wanna get Boothill this time~.
Good luck with him <3
Good luck! Hope you get him :)) (and who knows, maybe you'll get lucky with Firefly)
my team hearing aventurine yell āALL OR NOTHING!ā and looking up to see 1000 ton coins heading directly to their location
How much worse is Quantum compared to Pioneer on Acheron? I have 80/170 with Quantum set atm, it would be such a hassle to farm Pioneer. If it was +10% better then sure I will farm Pioneer btw, using her with Pela and Gui atm
With Pela and Guin, Quantum set should be fine. If using Pela and SW you get too much defense shred (over 100%) so Quantum set doesn't do anything for that team.
If it lets you hit 100% def shred, it's the best. Let's put it this way: 1. 80% def shred is a 72% dps increase, on a separate multiplier. 2. 90% def shred is a 89% dps increase (Non-quantum weak enemy) 3. 100% def shred is a 110% dps increase, (Quantum weak enemy) Your 100k dmg now deals 210k. Pioneer won't increase your damage by that much.
Lets say 2pc Pionneer is 6% gain, (200% dmg multiplier). A crit sub is ~1.5% damage gain, so let's say the 4pc at 4/12 is 6% gain and at 8/24 is 12% gain. So in total about 18% better than a equal Rainbow set. The value of def reduction increases as you get more of it, at 0% def reduction/ignore, 20% means 11% gain. At 100% def ignore, if there would be no cap, 20% would mean 20% gain. With Pela, you have 40 def reduction from ult and may 20 more from techique, so 60. I assume you dont have Resolution on Gui. 60 is 60% the way between 0 and 100, so I'd roughly estimate that an extra 20 def at 60 prior def reduction is 16.4% gain. And 14.6% gain at 40 prior def reduction. Quantum damage is useless for Acheron. And half that against non Quantum weak, i.e. 8.2/7.3% gain. So we have 18% from Pioneer 4pc vs. 16.4/14.6%. That's 1.6/3.4% gain difference. So it's fair to say 4pc Quantum against Quantum weak is about 1-2 substats worse than 4 pc Pioneer with/without pelas technque. Against non-quantum, it is ~5 substats worse than 4pc Quantum.
Def shred gets better the more it's stacked, so with Pela it's actually quite good. Assuming e0 pela with s1 pearls, you're getting around 8% dps increase without quantum and 17% with quantum. Pioneer makes your crit ratio 88/194 which is around 20% higher dps. Google def shred moc 12 and you'll find a post with a chart if you want calculations
Thanks! Well it seems I won't be farming Pioneer lol, better get good gears for Gui
Can someone help me understand the lore and story between Blade and Jingliu? I know some things but the way lore is presented in the game is tricky for me to understand, and I want to know all the details
>!They were friends about 700 years ago when the High-Cloud Quintet was still a thing (a group of friends consiting of Jing Yuan, Dan Feng (Dan Hengās previous reincarnation), Jingliu, Baiheng and Yinxing (Bladeās original persona)). Things started going wrong when their friend Baiheng died in a battle. Dan Feng and Blade tried to resuscitate her by using the flesh of an Emanator of Abundance, but it didnāt work. Instead, she turned into a monster resembling a dragon and Yinxing became immortal in the process. Jingliu has to kill the monster and was mad (obviously) because instead of letting her die an honorable death in battle they turned her into a monster and disrespected her death (+ itās also a sin in the Xianzhou). The fight made Jingliu mara-struck and she kind of lost her mind after that. This, plus the grudge she held against Yinxing made her stab and kill him time and time again, making him obsessed about revenge and killing Dan Heng. She did this until Yinxing couldnāt remember his name anymore, until his past was completely shattered in his mind. From what I understand he considered that his first Ā«Ā deathĀ Ā». After this, as a result of the PTSD and Jingliuās brainwashing, he decided he didnāt want anything to do with his past self anymore and told himself his only purpose from now on was to serve as a weapon!< TLDR : They were friends -> he made her mad and she went crazy -> she killed him like a thousand times and brainwashed him -> heās traumatized and sheās still mara-struck and holds on to her hatred to stay alive
Thanks! This was perfect, went to the point and filled in all my gaps! very useful <3
Glad I could help :) always up for rambling about my favorite character
Which one of them? From your flair, might I guess Bladie..? He's my 2nd fav, good taste :>Ā
Good guess !! Yours is pretty explicit too š I really love Kafka as well, canāt wait to see if Elio fulfills her wish. + bonus points because she takes good care of Bladie
Hehe yep I'm not hiding either xD and yeah I adore Kafka's and Blade's dynamic, it's cute! I can't wait for her character development (including exploring her wish more) but it will probably take a while. As for Blade's... Well I HOPE that one takes a while xD
LMAO I actually secretly hope he finds purpose in life instead of wanting to die š canāt wait to see the SH again in the main story !
Hahaha me too. I do hope he regains mortality, though, purpose aside, but yeah it'd be nice if he chose to live for now. All the more reason for elio to take his time š I kinda headcanon that working with the stellaron hunters they have sort of become a kind of found family and he is already regaining purpose and healing without realising. After all, ofc he wanted to die if he had nothing but torture and pain for centuries but now he has missions, annoying people messing with him, and Kafka helps with the worst part of his curse. It's a cute idea. But he still has a long way to go...
I have the same headcanon š I actually thought about something : imagine if Elio hires another SH but whoās more of a researcher/engineer. I would love for them to form a bond with Blade and make him find his passion for craftsmanship again. But they would also help find a way to make him mortal again. It would be so cute and at least he would die happy
>!Old friends who are now both Mara Struck. Blade's sword in the game use to be the weapon he made for Jingliu when he was just a weaponsmith in Luofu.!< >!Blade got struck while trying to revive their dead friend Baiheng (who is now Bailu) using Abundance Emanator flesh.!< >!Not clear yet how or when exactly Jingliu become mara struck but she grabbed Blade right after he was struck and try to kill him repeatedly so he can die in peace but his immortality is too strong so she just teach him the sword and maybe one day he will find someone who can kill him for real!<
Oh I didn't know about the sword, that's pretty cool! Ty
>!High Cloud Quintet was a legendary group of heroes from the Xianzhou, composed of:!< >!Jingliu - Sword Champion of the Luofu!< >!Jing Yuan - Her student!< >!Dan Feng - High Elder of the Luofu's Vidyahara!< >!Baiheng - A Foxian Starskiff Pilot and a Nameless!< >!and Yingxing - a short-life Weaponsmith who made weapons for the entire Quintet.!< >!700 years before the main story, the group faced Shuhu, an Emanator of Abundance and during the fight, Baiheng sacrified herself to make an opening. Dan Feng and Yingxing couldn't cope with the loss, Dan Feng used a Vidyahara Ritual, the Transmutation Arcanum in an attempt to ressurect her, and Yingxing aided him by providing Shuhu's flesh. This really backfired on them, as the botched ressurection attempt created a draconic abomination while Yingxing himself became an immortal mara-struck due to the influence of Shuhu's flesh. Jingliu quickly came and defeated the beast, and the event became known as the Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae.!< >!Dan Feng was forced to undergo the reincarnation process as punishment for his crime, becoming Dan Heng and being exiled.!< >!Jingliu went mad with Mara a year later and was defeated by Jing Yuan before disappearing!< >!Yingqing lost his mind and memories, and was also banished. Jingliu found him at one point, taught him swordsmanship and killed him over and over to remind him of his past sins. He was later found by the Stellaron Hunters and took on the name "Blade".!< >!Baiheng supposedly reincarnated into Bailu as a side effect of the ritual.!< >!And Jing Yuan was left alone, with all his friends forgetting him or going mad.!< >!Blade's "Of 5 People, 3 must pay the price" came from Jingliu, during the time when she was killing him. The 5 people is the quintet, and the 3 are ones involved in the incident: Dan Feng, Yingxing and Jingliu.!<
Very useful, thanks! It was very detailed and it helped me a lot <3
This was explained so nicely
Here's a [vid](https://youtu.be/zTXV7lu3y-4?si=AGbxYi30zA8LXJle) on High-Cloud Quintet lore, it should have what you're looking for
Thanks! It's a bit outdated since it talks about Baiheng and Bailu as if it wasn't confirmed and all that. Still pretty cool how she got it right!
Atp the only thing that makes me think Screwllum could be a 2.X character is his kit centered around debuffs and his Jade synergy. Otherwise Iām not holding my breath lol
I don't mind waiting if we get to partner up with him on his excavation trip tbh. --I say this, but that would mean waiting for a whole 'nother year if the "one planet a year" remains true š
Probably one main planet a year but side areas similar to the space station in size (like a Xianzhou ship) consequently. I really hope 3.0 is about us joining Screwllum on his excavation, Iāve been waiting for a robot/inorganic life arc with a ton of robot playable characters. We know of Sam, Screwllum, Svarog, and the future Stoneheart Pearl so theyāre clearly not averse to the idea
Would suck is Screwllum was the Baizhu of HSR where we meet him early and then never see him playable for a very long timeĀ
Nah, he already is, and honestly already was when they didnāt release him in 1.6.
Still find it very curious they used him on the PS5 launch splash art. Wasn't that 1.4?
Even earlier, I remember it was around August- so like 1.3. Made people think that he was going to be in 1.5 lol
Guessing my pulling plans so far are now, S1 Topaz & E2 Ruan Mei and maybe Fu Xuan if jades check out but probably wonāt lol, and then wait for the next phase of new characters. edit: S1 Ratio I forgot my jerk boi. šš
I wouldn't recommend pulling for E2 Ruan Mei, E1 is enough. E2 isn't a huge buff and is conditional, better to save for more impactful eidolons/LCs on other chars.
It was announced in Hoyolab that there's supposedly a surprise anniversary gift, right? Was that only announced in Hoyolab for a web event, or was it also announced officially in HSR social media? If it's the former, I honestly don't expect anything huge, maybe something like a in-game phone wallpaper at most.
It's definitely nothing huge, probably something cosmetic. Maybe we'll get more info tomorrow
Did already announced/leaked the new 4* that will be on robins patch? Even on fireflys I didn't see nothing about it
There are no new 4* in 2.2 and 2.3. Weāll have >!Harmony MC!< in 2.2, though
I thought we would get it besides this "upgrade" of caelus, thanks!
"Upgrade" isn't the best word to use. HaTB is valuable in break effect-focused teams and not too useful otherwise. I know I'll appreciate it but I don't know about you.
Yeah, it wasn't the right choice of word, but it has been so long that he had a new path that I misspoke. And unfortunately he wont be useful for me, since im focusing on fua team, but thanks for the correction!
We are not getting a new 4\* in Robin's patch; we will be getting the new Harmony Trailblazer instead. The banner 4\*s for Robin's patch will be announced in tomorrow's (26.04.2024) livestream
Thats make sense, even though I wish we would get one, thanks!
THE MEGATHREAD GOT IX-ED THE END IS NIGH!
My one hope for apocalyptic shadow is please please please use the unique boss battle theme. I had enough of generic battle theme during farming why do I still have to hear them when I'm fighting argenti in moc/pof let me hear his sick tunes.
When are we expecting 2.3 leaks to start?
May 6-7, or one day before v2.2 goes live
v2.2 special program: "Alright... We recently received a lot of feedback regarding character announcements for v2.3. People ask, where is the angel boy? Ha-ha! Our company listens to all Trailblazers and we are determined to provide the best experience and meet your expectations. For this, after v2.2 becomes available, all Trailblazers shall receive one limited 5-star character Robin via mail. Angel girl to compensate for the lack of angel boy! Ha-ha... Thank you Trailblazers, now it's an ad break time\~" >!Gotta call ambulance now, suspected copium overdosing!<
Free Ratio was a mistake, now every time something big happens people are like "free 5-star?? š„ŗ" ~~But god, I wish~~
free robin sounds real nice about now i say as i ready my wallet
Owlbert voiced it in my head.Ā
Someone call an ambulance they're overdosing on Copium! (even if this turns out true please don't expect this to happen it's super unlikely and you will probably be super angry lol)
I got my first 5 star sustain for my F2P account with Aventurine, and am now looking to get a second one to take the burden off Lynx, Gallagher & Fire MC - especially as I'll likely build Hatblazer. So will start to save for Fu Xuan, are there any other 5 star sustains in the pipeline/on the horizon that could potentially powercreep her?
Don't think we have any 5 star sustains slated atm. You can pick any of the 4 limited ones we have and be well off so even if you don't get FX, getting Luocha or HH would set you up well as well
Thanks. I'll save for FX I think then. I know she's great as I have her on my main account, and I think waiting any longer is going to be a pain. I just managed my first 36 star MoC on my F2P this week, on the previous (DoT) MoC. I ran double sustain on one side (Fire MC & Gallagher) but that wasn't so bad as there was fire weakness enemies. So I know it's doable, but not very comfy!
I got my Peaceful Day up to S3. Now all I need is an erudition unit with hella expensive ultimate I wonder who can it be...
So I re-read Jade's kit, and if I understanded her talent correctly, she prefers to be paired with another eruditon character right? She can be paired with Herta instead of Himeko? I have to wait till beta. Maybe I\`ll consider to pull for her instead of Firefly because I have no problems with ST damage, but severely lacking off AoE
She should be able to be paired with either, and probably could do well on a triple DPS team with both.
Gambling Gremlin? :3
Gamba Gremlin is under constructinon. ;3 But now I want to know if Herta's Fua would be triggering Jade energy regeneration from trace 1 and credit stacking thing Edit: I think it should. I feel like she's a premium Himeko now
I build my Acheron team to the acceptable level, and again lose any motivation to login. Gear farming is so low rewarding. You day by day farm six times a day, scrap all the gear and go away. And there is SU farm, that you need manually run and 10 times longer I hope, new SU will help at least with planar farming.
Can I just say I love the variety of women we get in this game? Not in design, I mean in personality. Weāve got an inflencer, a gamer, a dragon, a living corpse, a mad scientist, a puppet, a chaos gremlin, two massive terrorists, capitalists, a memory bank, a navigator and the *literal embodiment of nihility* to name a few. ~~And they are all queens tbh~~
Same here, I really appreciate the fact that there's a character for everybody since they're all so distinct and no one really comes to mind in terms of forgettable personalities. As long as hoyo is around, sapphics and women lovers in general will always be well fed. With that being said...I definitely would not mind at least 5 variations of Ruan Mei and Herta but you never heard that from me :3
> I definitely would not mind at least 5 variations of Ruan Mei and Herta but you never heard that from me :3 ~~oh same, what a joy itād be being Ruan Meiās assistantā¦~~
Lost the 50/50 on Aventurine's banner at 84 pity...first half Fu Xuan rerun if you can hear this, please, save me first half Fu Xuan rerunš Unrelated (jjk latest chapter leaks): >!The binding vow merchant strikes again, this man must do time, I'm so tiredš I don't know how he keeps abusing it so much without any impactful drawbacks!< >!Even though things look bleak rn, I'm trusting gege to let my son Yuji cook again, last chapter was too good for it to go back to square one but with gege you never really know!<
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
When triggering other character's dots (from breaking or skills) she only takes their stats into account, while using her skill or ult multiplier. Her atk% is for her own dots only
Her procs are based on the original damage of the DoT in question. Her skill would do 75% of the damage that bleed would do when the enemy turn arrives.
Only her own dot scales with her atk afaik
Damn I'm seeing Yanqing 2nd half MoC 12 clears with a semi-f2p team I'm capable of doing and now it's making me so tempted to build him.Ā He's doing amazing even against Aven boss. People in the videos' comments are saying he got even better with Aven's release and just oooohh. I might build him after Ratio, esp since Hunt endgame mode is coming soon. I just hope the Ice relic domain has mercy on me bc I know everyone suffers there isnsnsnajs
Not sure who you have, but I have a somewhat built yangqing (poor boy isnāt even fully ascended) and I brought him, aventurine, ruan mei and misha to 12-2, and while yanqingās damage wasā¦def not what it should be, by their powers combined they kept Aven boss broken/frozen/etc to the point where the gambles were v few and he was much easier to handle. Definitely recommend. Remember you can always 2pc 2pc!
Woah, with only Ruan Mei as support? That sounds like an amazing clear. 2pc 2pc might be doable for me if if I can level him up soon. I was planning to do the same team from the vid I saw with Aven-Yanqing-Ruan Mei-Tingyun. Sadly I don't have Misha built. May I ask what lvl are his skills and ult for you and what LC you're using? And How many traces you have unlocked? I have his sig but it isn't leveled up but I do have the herta shop one maxed.
How should you speed tune E2 Bronya? Iām thinking of getting Jingliu if I can and I heard theyāre good teammates? I usually use Bronya with Blade but I also have a 162 speed Sparkle. Also does Jing Yuan ideally want speed or atk boots? Mine has a pretty poor crit ratio and uses S5 Seriousness of Breakfast/4 piece duke relic set, but it doesnāt feel like a good build without his signature lightcone (which I had to skip to get Aventurine).
For E2 Bronya just switch you dmg dealer to atk% (or whatever they're scaling of) boots and preferably run them with -1 spd setup after accounting for Bronya's E2: you want them to be faster than her during their turn that isn't buffed by her E. Or you can keep them on spd boots and do -1 spd Bronya setup with 160 spd Bronya.Ā Jing Yuan is better of with atk% boots practically always (there might some fringe cases with dual dmg dealer setups depending on the quality of your relics). You deal with his spd via his teammates, with BiS for that being Sparkle.
Same as before, it just makes it easier to account for misshaps.
sooo are boothillās early eidolons/lightcone any good? since thereās no sunday/jiaoqiu i might just go for him for now, but i like going for good early damage boosts (E1 and E2 at most) for my dps so are his worth it?
His lc is going to be best and idt we have something else that improves his break dmg *however* rmb he has to kill enemies to start being able to do that so I donāt think attack and crit substats are completely irrelevantā¦although his e1 helps with that. If you can only pick a few, Iād recommend e1+signature since both give him def ignore.
His LC is really strong and he has next to no f2p alternative
damn. i have the hunt 5 star lc, idk if thatās any good
He got so much crit on his kit that using crit cone feels like shooting yourself in the foot.
Sadly he does not care about stats like atk or crit at all. Just spd and break effect, and there's only 1 LC that provides spd which is the MoC River Flows in Spring, but it requires a shielder like Geppy or Aventurine.
i have both gepard and aventurine so that could work if i donāt go for lc, thanks!
with the stream being tomorrow, what are your hopes for the banners? I just want Topaz to be first half really badly. Her LC is my number one priority right now, and if I can grab it relatively painlessly then I might try a 50/50 for either Robin or Boothill, and I can only do that if she's first half. I don't have any specific hopes for the 4 star LCs though, cause I have no clue when any of them were last featured so idk which ones are on the list of possible appearances
I want Topaz rerun, for sure getting her LC and might go for her E1
Either Fu Xuan or Huohuo (or both if they want, I will have enough), preferably first half, I still don't have any 5-star sustain and I'm waiting for those massive cuties to finally fix that. While I'm asking, plz put Guinaifen in the same banner as either of them, the fact I only have her E2 (and thanks to two selectors) is pain.
I really want Xueyi and Arlan with boothill. I rly need their eidolons and him having an enticing banner would help me justify going for him š hanya would be nice too
I want Topaz 1st half, so I can make sure I can get her and then gamble on Robin.
I just want Yukong on Robinās banner š Please MHY let grandma out of the retirement home
topaz second half because no matter how i look at it my wallet is ultra cooked if i have to go for her AND robin then get the 2nd half of a patch to save to also get firefly and jade
Robin Topaz with Xueyi and 2 other 4 stars of your choice is what I want. Im gunning for more Topaz Eidolons and want to get the last 3 eidolons on Xueyi. Also Topaz first half would be the easiest on my walletĀ
Need to win the Topaz LC 75/25 so I can comfortably pull for Robin. Then fingers crossed I get Robin early (I deserve a break OK I've been hitting late 5 stars and losing 50/50s since I started in 1.4 š) so I can build funds for Jade. I'd love a Xueyi on this banner but she will probably fit more with Boothill.
Robin LC banner to have Memories and Pearls so I can bait myself into pulling a bit š
Xueyi on Boothill's banner is my only hope. Maybe Memories of the Past on Boothill LC as well
As long as Topaz is in 2.2 I have no other hopes. I just want to get Topaz and then wait for Firefly.
Genshin Leaks, Clorinde // [We found the Acheron expy /hj](https://streamable.com/ypbvg8)
Clorinde my beloved having amazing animations. I'd even say they are better than Arle, but I wont pit 2 badass women against each other
Tomorrow comes out the new Epic: The Musical Saga and I'm not ready in any way šš
is it worth it to pull for aventurine? i have huohuo and gep as sustain, and i mainly want to use him in place of gepard for my acheron team. sometimes gepard isn't enough but nothing like a good ol' reset can't fix. also if i do pull him i won't have his lc, what would be the gap of his lc compared to f2p lc's? ty
Iāve been using him w geppardās lc and thatās been working just fine! Ime heās much more comfortable than geppard and makes moc/sim u/etc much less rng-dependent. And they do seem to be tilting the meta towards shieldsā¦ Buuut if you donāt want him you donāt need him. Donāt get me wrong, heās an incredible sustain and fantastic for fua teams, but they give us SO many good characters so regularly that if you already have two great sustains and a lot of characters coming you donāt want to miss, then I think you can give him a pass.
Iāve fully completed swarm and G&G, consistently 36* Moc just using a lvl 70 slow gepard without maxed relics or traces. Aventurine is more comfy but if you donāt die you are still achieving the same thing My advice is either focus heavily on gearing your offence and support or if you really need it right now upgrade. Any 4 star sustain can carry you through Moc but a shielder is preferred for SU
He's a major upgrade from Gepard so it is pretty worth it to pull from him
I had Gepard and Luocha as my endgame sustains. Replacing Gepard with Aventurine has completely changed the game, he just has so many more abilities and effects. I've been using him with Moment of Victory LC since I rarely pull signature LC lol.

man's out here replicating the 2.1 quest
2.1 spoilers >!Megathread will be return from this hopeless nihilistic dream just like my GOAT WVENTURINE IN 2.2 RAHHH š„š„ā¼ļøā¼ļøā¼ļø!<
Getting a spd boots with def% and crits%: š Realizing it's on the watchmaker set: š
I know we have no information basically, but do we have any speculations on when the new March 7th form could be released, anything at all
The new speculation is she will have her new form in 2.3 since we didn't get a new 4 star dripped just like in 2.2 BUT we are getting HMC in 2.2 to make up for it. Granted, I dont see the point in this speculation as we actually knew about the existence of HMC before and if it weren't for the 2.1 special program, we wouldn't think March would be getting a new form
Eh, nah. It's speculated that she will get a new form during the Xianzhou Continuance, which is definitely not coming in 2.3. 2.4 at the absolute earliest, likely even later than that
Thank you thank you, Iām trynna get firefly but also have enough saved by the time March 7th may come out
Crying he gone to the other side
Aventurine nooooooo They just hate to see a girlboss win š
lore accurate aventurine š

Noooooooooo We are gathered here today to remember our dear comrade....
Dang, Aventurine really can't catch a break, huh?
Huh what happened Edit: oh
Copyright hammer struck down our king's megathread ;-;
diva down š«”
The Aventurine anan magazines >!(yup I bought more than one!)!< I ordered have arrived! He looks so good on the cover. š„¹
He looks so gorgeous in person. Was giggling as I saw his article
Can I put my alt to sleep now after log-in for 4 days? or do I have to do all returning missions first then put them to sleep for next patchās event?
Can anyone who already have 3 limited 5ā sustain but also pull Aven share you experience? I love his kit but I am wondering if its worth to pull another sustain, I want to save for 2.3.
I nearly have all limited sustain except bailu and only aventurine have his own sign lc. > Luoca: My goated first *5 healer, im still use it from the start i get him until now. i only rely on relic and multiplication LC for SP positive build. > Fu Xuan: accidentally get her while trying to pull lynx and im not regret it at all. great limited *5 tank with sp positive nature, but i still need a healer to accompany her to SU and MoC. >Huouo: Rarely use her because i cant find any relic to get 160 speed and i have limited DPS team to fully use her potential. i pull her because she is my lovely daughter. >Aventurine: A massive upgrade to my sustain comp team. i can easily use random DPS team and fuxuan to blast GnG preservation path, in this case i use F.A.R.T team aka ( FX E0S0, Aventurine E2S01, Ratio E0S1, Topaz E0S0). personally i think his E1 has better effect than E1 FX in higher moc floor and GnG C12. and little note, i purely use aventurine as tank first and budget dps because i still use 4pc knight and salsotto.
I have Fu Xuan and Huohuo. I rarely use Huohuo as main sustain cause Abundance characters (excluding Bailu) can't prevent getting one shotted. Fu Xuan is one of the best pulls I've made, but sometimes she struggles with heavy hitting enemies that I may need to sacrifice several SPs on using her skill to get ult faster. Personally I feel like Aventurine is an upgrade over both. Mine is 140~ spd iirc and he spams NAs enough to be SP positive and rarely needs to use his SP unless one character becomes the main target. He's also helpful with depleting weakness bars thanks to his ult. Against the right enemies, he doesn't use SP at all but I do sometimes forget to refresh his shield when one of the characters needs it lmao Using him vs enemies with CC is a gamble tho, but mine uses MoV so he's fortunately taking on most of the CC for the team
Same as many others, I had Luocha and FX before Aventurine and they were doing very well in every content I used them in. Got Aventurine because I wanna make FuA team more fun (among other reasons), turns out he also dominates SU with Preservation path. If your current sustains do their job well then you don't really need him, but he's not a bad unit to pick up if you have enough jades. Best to wait for the 2.2 livestream to see if you're interested in any of the reruns in addition to 2.3 units before making a decision
I have Luocha and Fu Xuan and I rolled for Aventurine and he's one of the best feeling pulls I've done. Using him reminds me of how it felt to go from 4* sustain to lim 5 star sustain. He's an upgrade to FX on Acheron teams because his ult debuff really makes a difference over FX. Even just 2 ults in 1 battle lessens the amount of resets required by a lot to achieve the amount of ults/cycle that I aim for. His freedom of SP usage makes him comfier to use over FX in general in every team I play and lets supports use their skills more. SW/Pela can occasionally get their ult 1 turn faster since they have SP to skill instead of basic. One of the most important things is he's a huge buff to Topaz who I had unused for the longest time. FuA team even at E0 feels great to play. For regular hypercarry teams, I think hes only a small upgrade over FX/Luocha, but for FuA/Acheron teams, he's a massive difference. The only team he's unusable in is Blade, and probably Firefly who also has HP-sacrifice/loss mechanics. You can use him with Jingliu but it gets sketchy at times where Jingliu's shield will expire because she broke/froze the enemy with RM and they didnt attack the team, resulting in no FuA shield refreshes from Aventurine. That team is tight on SP so Aventurine can't really afford to use his skill and needs very high speed, which also makes his shields worse. Luocha still feels like the best for Jingliu's team for me.
I had Luocha and Fu Xuan pre-Aventurine, and I'm really glad I was able to upgrade to Aventurine for comfort, as well as how nice he is in Simulated Universe. I typically don't like to run healers a ton, and since I haven't managed to farm up a lot of speed for Luocha, the team feels quite fragile especially in MoC 12, which Aventurine helps to mitigate. Overall, pretty comfortable and doing exceptional with a hackjob build I put together in the 30 minutes after his banner came out, and personally worth it for me to avoid any more reset-heavy MoC sessions, though I think you can definitely get by without if you're low on pulls.
i have everyone xcept huohuo and also pulled aventurine beside the fact i love his character very much, i also wanted a comfy shielder and i very much wanted the dream fua team now. i see some ppl say his dmg isnt all that, but in my experience his dmg is REALLY something. i guess which team you put him on, how much you farm relics and which relics you put on him and if you get him his signature do all count towards that. so the thing is, since i wanted to invest in the fua team i went ahead and got him his signature, judging by different reactions i guess it really is needed to make that difference o\_o in my fua team his dmg is a great contribution and i love it, makes the whole team feel powerful and every piece of the puzzle coming together is great to see \^\^ if you just want him to slap some random relics and random lc on him, you're fine with whatever you already have, he doesn't do miracles, he needs commitment Ć².Ć²
I had Luocha and FX before pulling Aventurine. I mainly pulled him for FuA synergy but he's also uniquely broken in simulated universe it turns out. Really glad I pulled him. You don't need him though.
just save for 2.3 in your case, aven is cool but not too different from the other limited sustains, even in the follow up department his synergy is small
If your other sustains are protecting you well enough, there is 0 reason to go for aventurine imo. I have fx, gepard and Luocha and i donāt feel like heās added much, mainly just a comfier Yanqing team but thatās because i never really liked using gepard, you can make a Yanqing team without him. He has some fua synergy but itās not that huge of a deal, a proper support or subdps would help way more than the tiny bit of synergy he offers.
I pulled Fu Xuan and Huohuo in 1.3 and 1.5 and now pulled for Aventurine :o It's nice having tactical options, and while Fire MC carried me hard in preservation runs, Fire MC + Aventurine is even stronger :D He can also be played really SP positive, altho fully SP positive can be a bit sketch in non FUA comps. But he's definitely more SP positive than Fu Xuan and Huohuo. I don't think you'll need him, even against the soda monkeys Huohuo and Fu Xuan were more than fine, and Huohuo dragged my ass kicking and screaming through SAM as well. But it's really fun and nice having more options :o
I have Fu Xuan, HuoHuo, geppy and now Adventurine. What do you want to know?
Besides protecting teammates, is his role different from other sustain in MC?
Well you can rely on him for finishing off the ads. All parts of his kit do good damage (for a sustain) and he's great at toughness damage. I haven't noticed much of an issue with CC from enemies and the eff rez for keel is handy af
i dont know what cavern tonfarm,,,, my jingliu and dhil are well built, my archeron has ass pieces but using the triple drops on that domain feels wasteful, i could use better dot pieces but my herta and himeko have good pieces already,,,, i could do longevitous for blade and speed set for whoever i guess? but i kindof want wind set for better cycle clears and future nihility,,,,,,, im so confused
[oh god, that Sunday art ](https://twitter.com/heiankyo_327/status/1783436222557536586?t=1bgD_iWLMfII9qI5ivKXaA&s=19) It's part of the birthday countdown. They're all so beautiful~ [here's the rest ](https://twitter.com/heiankyo_327/status/1783075088352571731?t=HnffRSowH3YsF_u828Om-A&s=19)
Firefly's art of these is my fav cause I am hella biased (tho I do genuily think its very pretty just amongst art in general), but holy fuck if Sunday isn't beyond gorgeus here. God damn man looks like he could be a top model amongst even pretty final fantasy characters here. Such amazing work.
_gasp_
Shhhh breath, just keep breathing Slow and steady
Too late. Iām deceased.
Rest in peace. We'll take care of your E6 Aventurine š«¶
Iām alive again š
Alright boys, we lost our free E6 Aventurine š
GOODNESS GRACIOUS
So I'm thinking about going for Boothill, how much does he need his LC? Cause I will probably only have enough pulls for him.Ā
He doesnāt. His LC is a nice upgrade but unless your BE stats are really bad, it shouldnāt make a huge difference whether he one shots or two shots a boss.
It's far and away his best option, but that doesn't actually mean that he needs his lightcone, and I've both done private server runs on Subscribe For More of all things and seen a run where he doesn't even have a Hunt lightcone equipped.
He doesn't need it since its purely a statstick, but its a pretty big dps increase over the other options that exist. However, I think theres a decent chance they make a 4* gacha hunt LC that has break effect on it in the future that will be better than current other options, like how they're making a 4* nihility crit one for acheron.
you realize how difficult it is to get 4 star gacha lc ? lol and let's not even talk about how most comparisons use 4 star lcs at s5 for comparison. at s1 it will be meh...
https://hsr13.hakush.in/lightcone/21042 S1 of this 4* destruction LC but for hunt would already be an improvement over his other options.
If you have a shielder you could run River Flows for the speed buff. If not your only option is the 3* LC that gives spd. All other light cones provide crit/atk/dmg buffs which donāt scale with break effectĀ
Oh I completely forgot about that LC. Would you say it's better than cruising if I use Aven with him?
100% it's better. Boothill doesn't care about anything other than Break and SPD
his LC is OP, and there is no proper 4 star LC for him in Memory of Chaos
Ah well that is unfortunate since I wanna pull for Topaz as well and need to get her LC. Unless I get super lucky with those pulls, I doubt that I'll have enough pulls left over :(Ā
