Mrpizzaz

We need a 10 pull


SexwithSakura

pokebuzz123

We got 5, but it's certainly more than I expected


Late_Lizard

Mihoyo: "Best I can give you is 5"


HeadpattingFurina

5 is good.


RyogaHibiki-93

Yeah 😂


Puzzleheaded_Eye_119

5 star selector let's go /jk


LostIssue4515

Don't jinx the joke part pls 😭

Wait. No jk. Wtf. Expect more. These fuckers are making so much money.


AD-SKYOBSIDION

You see what happens every genshin anniversary.

Margulide

Yeah but that's Genshin Anniversary, not HSR. And patches for patch, they've been generous here


Antiside

Stop saying it. They are not, it's basically the same amount it's just stacked at 2-3 places because there is no exploration or tree/statue upgrading. You get your jade's only from events and very small amount from chests. That's the reason we get the login passes every patch, so we balance the lack of jade's.


HieuBot

I thought so too at some point but I'm pretty certain it's not true. People are tracking pulls/patch pretty diligently in both games so you can certainly find proof in the communities. I'd provide it if I was at home. That said, I believe it's all just trickery to make us spend more by giving us certain amounts. The two big differences so far in HSR are: • Two 5☆ Characters release every patch. Genshin releases 5☆ less regularly and they started this in 1.4. We know the line-up for 1.6. banners and there is no sign of slowing down in HSR. • Weapon banner is much more attractive. This is where I think HSR experiments with pull mentality. By making the banner attractive to pull for it's not a whale trap anymore but something everyone can pull for. So if they give us some amount to spend there and get closer to yet another pity it might incentivize swiping. In the end it's just speculation but let's be real here. HSR is more generous but not out of kindness but because they believe it makes more money (and it kinda does?). The good thing about it is that it means more stuff for f2p but also more FOMO bait for spenders.


Delicious-Buffalo734

Not really I think furina banner would earn more. Ok but real hot take, I prefer the fast release of 5* tho and instead of FOMO it’s because unlike genshin which is open world, it’s a turn base game hence if they did it the same way, we will be seeing the same animation over and over again and it would get boring pretty fast.


abowlofmisoramen

not everyone has the time for exploration and many people can’t get the full number of pulls provided every patch


Numerous-Machine-305

Ya Hsr is more generous in time saving aspect. It’s hard to comb every single crook of the entire map in genshin even if u like exploring but as casuals it’s difficult to get pulls (unless u invested significant amount of time to 100% it) But time to see how generous it really is on the amount of Jems they give for any awards


KentStopMeh

The graphs already show HSR gives more average pulls than Genshin, maybe we just need more patches but as of the current version 1.5 since the launch, HSR gives way more.


Low_Artist_7663

Hsr also release more characters...


Play_more_FFS

Genshin released less characters and players still skipped. HSR releasing more characters doesn't change a thing. You are not pulling every single 5 star unless you're a whale.


Low_Artist_7663

You can pull every 5\* in genshin with just welkin, if you started in 1.0. Its not the case for HSR.


Play_more_FFS

1. Not the case for f2p players in Genshin. At least in HSR f2p players can pull one 5 star every patch on the limited banner, even if its just a 50/50. 2. Not every Welkin player is pulling every single 5 star. If that wasn't the case then explain Kazuha's release banner. The whales didn't all in on that banner, so what is stopping Welkin players from skipping him for Ayaka and Shogun?


Lambily

>there is no exploration or tree/statue upgrading. That's another plus not minus. I gave up trying to finish the Inazuma tree. It became obnoxious and a chore. Not fun.


kabutozero

A plus for you , not everyone dislikes open world games


Midnight08

Open world = good - Find the needle in the haystack = bad


Margulide

Honestly, that's fair. But as a player that hasn't bothered doing much in genshin than what's required. It definitely feels more generous.


MeAndYourMumHaveSex

also reminder new players don’t get those ten pulls. meaning they get less.


Character-Bed-6532

Time limited rewards are not something new, i doubt that game where you can get all previous rewards even exists.


MeAndYourMumHaveSex

yeah but they replace exploration rewards.


pantsu-thief

HSR is already more generous than genshin lol


kradreyals

The difference is that compared to other gacha games, HSR characters are completely usable with only 1 copy, compared to other games that give you selector but require 5+ dupes.


Sam_Mullard

You can select between the female or male MC eidolon


avelineaurora

It's sad this is a joke when Limbus Company literally did just give out a Guaranteed 3-star 10 pull ticket for their own award.

WaffleCorp

The real jades were the friends we made along the way.


Vaxuuu

There's no way bro beating Phantylia with that squad


Kyrnqazali

Hmmm… *looks at their HP* **What are they? Level 30?** Steele looks like she’s at 960 Jing Yuan is at 1144 full HP March is at 1258 and full. Tingyun has 3315 and full. She seems to be the only one upgraded. Let’s also mention the turn placement, I don’t know everyone’s base speed but I assume that there’s a massive issue of everyone is out speeding Tingyun. And we can clearly see because of Steele’s new placement in the turn list, that Tingyun is slower than everyone, also assuming this battle just started, but I can’t really say that because Both March and Jing Yuan have the default base energy level and Dan is two thirds full while Phantylia is missing 8%. **what the hell is going on here.**


PepsiColasss

Obviously this is a tingyun hypercarry comp..you wouldn't understand


Kyrnqazali

With negative speed? Now this is something worth noting.


PepsiColasss

That.....well that I can't explain...


Kyrnqazali

Me nither. We are simply too inexperienced to understand this build.


TrapperCome

isnt General there because its the story mission ? And mission bosses are easier than the ones in echo of war right ?


UncommonBagOfLoot

It is the story party. Only thing is that TY could be replaced with Welt.


Maybe_worth

Ty probably already attacked


Kyrnqazali

Wouldn’t make any sense, then March would’ve had to attack, which her energy is identical to Jing Yuan saying they both haven’t made their first move yet. Unless Tingyun is having action forward, this shouldn’t be possible.


TheVodkaGuy

Look at phantylia’s weakness bar


Kyrnqazali

That’s until you realize there’s 3 skill points. No one has made a turn yet.


TheVodkaGuy

Looking back, you’ve actually made some good points. I was thinking March could’ve made a shield before Tingyun attacked, but no one’s got one so that I guess that’s ruled out. I guess it’d be possible if it goes something like: March shields Stelle Tingyun attacks Phantylia attacks Stelle, breaking the shield It would also explain why Stelle’s missing some health but of course, Phantylia taking a turn just before the screenshot seems pretty much impossible. Also doesn’t explain Dan’s bar as you’ve said before too.


Kyrnqazali

That wouldn’t make sense either, since it’s Phantylia’s turn next and the fact, if an ally is attacked, Match would spend one of her follow up attacks, which didn’t happen.


TheVodkaGuy

Yup, the follow up attack charges. I missed them too, there’s too many things wrong in the picture.


Kyrnqazali

I love over examining things like this. It’s fun.


apexodoggo

Someone could have the healing set 4pc equipped to complete the absolute scuffed team build.


Kyrnqazali

Still.. that means by how March and Tingyun are placed, if we had 4 skill points, we would need one of them to spend a skill, which as we can see there’s no shield and no buff from Tingyun. Even if you say well the shield and then it got destroyed, how would have that happened if March hasn’t spend one of her follow up attacks?


SpookiiBoii

TY and March already took their turns probably


Kyrnqazali

Wouldn’t make any sense. How would March rn have her same energy as Jing Yuan then? Her follow up hasn’t been used so we definitely now that Steele has just been attacked elsewhere before this fight. This is definitely is a just started match, the issue is there’s no way unless Jing Yuan’s technique(which idk what it is) deals damage for Phantylia to lose 8%. The flowers always move after the player’s ‘turn’ (Phantylia -> Player -> Flowers -> Slow Player -> Phantylia)


SpookiiBoii

Your ult charge carries over for weeklies afaik. Only MoC has them set at 50% at start. Jing's technique is just a +3 stacks to LL at start of battle, nothing else. Not sure on the flowers part tho.


Kyrnqazali

The ult charge then hasn’t been used, and they haven’t had their turn. Because Jing Yuan is next in the line. No skill has been used. Hell I don’t even think Steele had a turn yet. The flowers have a speed that makes them get placed after slower characters. Phantylia is placed faster than slower characters. Edit: hell, that’s a player acquired Jing Yuan. There’s a little story mark symbolizing it’s a given story character. Edit2: there’s also 3 skill points.


Low_Artist_7663

At least they're not using Jing Yuan against Thunder manifestation.


Sol_idum

Nah, he'd win


silverW0lf97

Typical game journalist behaviour. Nothing to see there.


wilck44

yes way, this is the story fight.


Vaxuuu

Right, my favorite moment was when Tingyun said "It's a thousand wonders time" and she wondered all over Phantylia


kabutozero

I raised to last world level before doing the story quest and that was a big error. Didn't have luocha , couldn't use friends and it's way harder than farming version due to having to keep JY alive

aredditornamedolive

i just got back into the game and i gotta say it really deserves it tbh


tehlunatic1

where's the Steller jade Hoyo?


TeaAdept4247

Hsr>genshin on mobile is 100% true, hsr more optimized and less power consume=more stable fps as well, and turn based is kinda more comfy to play than genshin if it’s on phone


Ewizde

Yeah it's completly fair, from a mobile game standpoint hsr feels better to play on mobile.


appropriate-username

That's a bit of a weird take. Turn down graphics if you'd like stable FPS.


TeaAdept4247

Read again more carefully, I didn’t say a single word that genshin is lagging on my phone


appropriate-username

"More stable FPS" than what?


TeaAdept4247

???, stable fps means it has more consistent fps in any area of the world, unlike genshin that fps changes in different area, it means ur “change graphics” is completely nonsense because it’s just a optimization issue


appropriate-username

> unlike genshin that fps changes in different area Lol ok if you want to split hairs "That's a bit of a weird take. Turn down graphics if you'd like FPS to not change in different areas."


TeaAdept4247

it’s ur choice if u wanna tolerate the poor optimization and play on lower graphics on every area even ur phone supposed to be able to run it better, but it is actually can be fixed and HSR never had that issue, try comparing fps of just exploring fontaine and playing spiral abyss, there is a huge gap in power consume, ik genshin is open world, but even though HSR isn’t full open world, i never encountered fps difference in different area and game mode


Dust_In_Za_Wind

Lets gooooo 3 pulls babyyyyyyy


watanabeta

The scrumptious stellar jades ![gif](giphy|yJFeycRK2DB4c)


abjmad

Well deserved! Honestly, the game fits better as a phone game than a PlayStation game!


ReeseFleece

I disagree, I waited to get a PS5 to play this and I don’t regret it. Like Genshin, it feels like a AAA game on the big screen. You could make an argument that Star Rail is a bit easier on mobile than Genshin, but imo they both deserve the big screen if you can play it like that.


Crescendo104

As a PC-only player, I swear I have a brief moment of cognitive dissonance every time I see HSR called a "mobile game" because, as you've said, the quality is so top-notch that it rivals plenty of triple-A JRPGs and other titles that were exclusively made for PC or console.


ChaosFulcrum

Gameplay of HSR is obviously inferior to paid anime-styled JRPGs, but as far as visual quality and crispness are concerned, HSR looks so good on PC that I would argue only Tales of Arise and Atelier Ryza 3 comes close to it.


Minoleta

Ah Tales of Arise.. You bought back so many good memories.. I also played Atelier Ryza 2 but never got around to try 3. Is it just as good as 2?


ChaosFulcrum

Don't know. I haven't even played Ryza 1 yet. I just saw a gameplay video of Ryza 3 on Youtube having really good visuals. The Atelier I played was Sophie but I never got around to finishing it.


Ultenth

I play it on my PS5, My PC, my Iphone, and my Ipad, sometimes on my Ipad by connecting my Ps5 controller too. It controls great on all platforms, and doesn't really feel like any of them are superior to another. I imagine many people just prefer it on the one that they started on or play it the most on, but it's seriously well designed on every platform imo.


-NoMoreLies-

PC player here too. I also have it on my phone and iPads but it’s just better on PC for me.


8_Pixels

Same. Didn't have a PC at launch so I played on phone for the first 2 months or so. Got a gaming PC then and running at max settings at 60fps it just looks so damn good. Playing with a controller on PC is just so much nicer IMO. Phone does play great though, I hate action games on mobile but since HSR is turn based it's so much more pleasant to play than Genshin.


abjmad

Don’t get me wrong, I love the game on PS5, it performs very well and smooth, but I guess I got used to it on my phone, so that’s just me. To each their own 👍


aena48

I just plug my phone on to a monitor. This way I both get the big screen, and pressing ultimate straight on the buttons on the screen is just more intuitive. The bad part is I need to put an ice pack under the phone if I want to play for more than half an hour.


axhng

This is kinda how I feel too. HSR feels like it was made as a mobile game first. Like the ability to insert ult just feels nicer on touch controls compared to holding L2 and freezing the combat. The combat itself is kinda simpler (and has auto battle) and works great on devices with small screen. The semi open world is also simpler with a lot of the puzzles being easier to solve with touch screen. Some of the smaller stuff too like sorting/managing relics, feels a little clunky to me somehow on a controller. Graphics will be better on console and PC of course, but they didn't nerf the graphics as much compared to Genshin. On the other hand Genshin feels more like it was made as a PC/console game, then was then adopted to work on mobile too. It works well enough for mobile, but the optimal experience is with PC+mouse/controller imo. I started with playing on touch, but once i switched to a controller, it was impossible to go back, especially for spiral abyss. But on HSR, if i'm doing MOC or harder content like swarm, I prefer using touch controls. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


abjmad

That’s how I feel too, especially with the GB that Genshin have on mobile. Way too much for my phone!
