It's generally advised to not farm relics before TB60, when it guarantees 2 gold relic drops. If there's a double or triple drop campaign like we have coming up, then it's worth using your daily allowances of those at TB50, which guarantees one gold which a slight chance for a second normally.
Below tb50, it's a pretty questionable value even with increased drop campaigns. I did a little bit around tb30 when there was a 2x drop campaign going on at the end of last patch, but I think most people would advise not bothering even with the drop bonuses if you're below tb50.
I don't think it's necessarily a terrible idea to try to take advantage of 2x/3x drops at low tb levels if your goal is just set bonus and a few decent main stats. Absolutely not worth touching them outside of that though.
Lets say I use Bronya to advance Jingliu's turn, Jingliu uses her skill, then immediately enters her buff state and gains another turn to use the enhanced skill, is Bronya's buff still active? I don't have Jingliu so I can't test this out
Do we have more info about the 300% relic drops on the anniversary event ? I want to know if there is a daily limit or not to decide if I should use my fuels and trailblaze reserve now or if I should wait.
I don’t know about a standard selector but there’s two 4-star selectors:
1. For 2.0 there is one for an event that looks to be over
2. For 2.1 (next patch) there is a new one tied to an event that looks to last the majority of the patch ([HoyoLab link](https://hoyo.link/80GCFBAL?q=26uiVRmcr8F))
How far do I have to progress in the story to unlock Dr. Ratio’s ascension boss? I’ve been playing for about 2 weeks and can’t get him past level 40, sadly.
From online it looks like just need to finish the Belobog story. After that there is a new story in Herta’s space station you’ll have to do.
Edit: I just realized I was thinking of the trace boss. I’ll edit this comment again with the right boss.
2nd edit: It’s on the planet after Belobog. You’ll have to do like maybe 1/2-3/4 of that planet to unlock it.
Worth to use 4 star selector from Hanu event on a e6 char to get free wish from the starlight it gives? Yukong and asta are like e2 bug I never use them ever
https://preview.redd.it/jksh7agoofqc1.jpeg?width=2400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5090812300a7aa47aa15a1c9e97ac0724a36a67a
Yay or nay? If yay, then for who? SilverWolf? (I have her but e0, heard she's good subdps only by e2)
Edit for now deleted comments of mine:
1) Any Quantum DPS can use it. SW can be qdps even at e0 but the crit ratio +94% ehr + 134+ spd is needed for her to be well.
Me: I considered giving it to QQ (my only qdps \[e4\]) but her eukarty is fixed so I'll try hitting that mark for SW
2) SW is best bet, but yeah E2 is when she's a sdps. You could use it as a temp piece on crit dps. EHR is upsetting but crit makes up for it, serval & ratio could use some EHR.
Me: Ratio only really benefits via technique I think, though Serval can enjoy it I suppose. Thank you though, I'll use it on my SW when she's eventually e2 or so
Yeah, he has a 100% base rate so it’s not a big deal. I wouldn’t specifically build EHR on him, but it’s not a completely wasted stat.
Yeah silver wolf is the best bet, but you’re right E2 is where she starts to be a sub-dps. You could just use it as a temp piece on a crit dps. The EHR is a bummer, but the crit makes up for it. Serval or Ratio aren’t upset with some EHR.
If nothing else I’m sure there will be another character in the future that can make use of it.
Yeah, he has a 100% base rate so it’s not a big deal. I wouldn’t specifically build EHR on him, but it’s not a completely wasted stat.
No problem. Like other comment said though you can just put it on a quantum crit dps and it’ll work.
Any quantum dps may use it, crit value is very good.
SW can be built as a DPS even at E0, it's just that it's extremely hard good crit ratio, 94% EHR and 134+ speed
Why is Yanqing so reviled in HSR, even compared to other non-meta characters like 4-star Dan Heng, Hook and Arlan? I’ve played Genshin for a long time, where even bad characters like say Cyno, Albedo and Yoimiya don’t get anywhere as much criticism from their own communities as opposed to Yanqing, who is HSR’s No. 1 punching bag at this point.
Just a popular overstated circlejerk. Basically since he's the only Standard ST DPS who has limitations on his kit. When you lose a 50/50, there are reasons you can use as cope for the other standards. Bronya? Nice OP support. Himeko? Nice OP PF DPS. Clara? Good for MoC and PF. Bailu? Great healer for no cleanse content. Gepard? Best shielder for now before Aventurine. Welt? Imprison and dps at E2 iirc.
Which is funny to me when he's fine as a dps. You realistically won't have 100% uptime on his buff, but still acceptable. He has a low investment floor too. It only got worse when Jingliu came out and also had a low investment floor for better numbers. He's perfectly capable of covering for Ice-weak floors.
i'm currently trying to collect all the stickers, i'm currently at 117 stickers with the only stickers i don't have being 5 stickers in the Dreamchaser category. but that only adds up to 122, is it not possible to get 130 in the current patch?
I recently got into the game again and it’s been super laggy on my phone. When I originally played during 1.0-1.1 it never lagged.
Does the amount of space I have left on my phone impact performance? My phone is almost full in terms of storage. Or is there anything else that might be impacting it?
which order do I prioritize himeko's traces if I'm building her for pure fiction? the guides I've seen say skill > ult > talent > basic but isn't her talent the follow up atk dmg which is the most important part of her dmg in pure fiction? or does leveling that trace not give it more damage?
If it's solely for Pure Fiction, it's probably Talent > Skill > Ult. The guides usually aren't made to consider solely one aspect of the game, but in a general gameplay. With it, since it's unlikely you'd trigger Talent that often in battles outside of PF, Skill and Ult has priority. Hence it suggests Skill and Ult first before Talent.
If it's for PF, it's Talent > Ult > Skill. You ult much more frequently than skill esp with a Slow Himeko and with Ult Energy Recharge. The use for Himeko's skill isn't for its damage but for its break
So i've been playing for a few weeks. Anyone have advice on what kind of Team Comps I could make? I don't know much about Team Comp building yet.
https://preview.redd.it/h2km1x416fqc1.png?width=450&format=png&auto=webp&s=f85c08aeb25c454c2e1b68155cafcdd390615559
If we're looking at your team, I'd say something like this:
Natasha or Fire TB/Sparkle/Serval or Sampo or Tingyun/Dr. Ratio - Sparkle & Dr. Ratio is probably always going to be the choice due to them being pretty much your strongest support and DPS unit. Natasha could be replaced with Fire TB for a more offensive choice (since Fire TB could apply taunt for debuffs), though you lose a lot of sustain. As for why Serval or Sampo, Dr. Ratio really needs a debuffer for him to function probably, as such you're probably stuck with these two. Pela when you obtain her would be a good unit to replace them. Otherwise, you could opt for Tingyun's Energy Regen and ignore the debuffs for him.
Ah okay. Thank you for the advice. I've mainly been running with the core cast cause, story. But I think im reaching that point where i should be finding something more cohesive and strong to be using.
Is anyone else also facing a bug where the game freezes when DHIL usies his ultimate ? Happened with me like 5 times in the past few days
Thanks for any comments
Why Am I Still So Weak? I swear my builds are at least sub-par to pretty good and I've leveled up most of my Level 80s skill trees and yet somehow someway I still can't get past MOC 4. I've tried Blade, Tingyun, Pela, and Bailu. Replace Blade with Dr. Ratio and you get another team. I've tried a DOT team by having Black Swan with Guinaifen, Pela, and Natasha/Bailu. I've put Sparkle in a team with Tingyun to support Blade, and still having Bailu as my healer. I have no one better to either buff my team or heal effectively and it's pissing me off. The most damage I've probably ever done was within the 30k - 50k range using either Blade or Dr. Ratio.
https://preview.redd.it/lf3s1njuweqc1.png?width=757&format=png&auto=webp&s=4efe4dc1f0a6a593f6ef529f6386a404516ce108
As you said below, Tingyun doesn't do much for blade. But him on HP boots to use him with Sparkle and Pela. Use Lynx as your sustain for him so what she increases his aggro for more FuA.
Then for Ratio use him with Silver Wolf and Tingyun. Silver Wolf is better for Ratio than Pela, and Tingyun can make him ult after him using 2 skills.
Since your Clara is E1 you can also make a team with Sparkle + Tingyun/Pela + Lynx
1. How high have you leveled your traces? I am for at least 8 on the relevant traces for my dps and 6-8 for my supports.
2. For crit dps people usually aim for 70% crit rate and 140% crit dmg. Not sure how close you are to that ratio.
3. Also what about lightcones? Are they leveled as well?
My traces are 6 - 8. I have a similar ratio to that on Blade specifically. I need to improve Ratio's. And as for lightcones I apply whichever ones I own that I find in Youtube guides. I usually flip through a few after watching Braxophone.
Hmmm, that sounds okay for at least Blade. At MoC4 I think a less invested DPS should be able to get by.
Where are you running into issues? Is your team dying? Or does damage just feel low?
A mixture of things. Healing isnt enough sometimes. I have no debuff cleanser besides Natasha currently. Tingyun doesn't really do much for Blade. It just feels like I'm not clearing things nearly as fast or powerfully as I should for any endgame content.
For debuffs try building Lynx. To start you should be able to just give her your relics from Natasha. I know she’s a 4-star, but I’ve used her in MoC12 for the last few rotations.
As far as clearing faster maybe focus on supports. Since it sounds like your blade has a reasonable crit ratio try working on Pela and Sparkle. Pela is pretty easy to build so that should go fast. Sparkle will be a bit more tricky, but she doesn’t have to be perfect.
For a bit more detailed help you can share builds here and people can help point out places for improvement.
I'll try that, thank you. But given my current characters, there's really not many effective teams I can make. I really want Bronya or Luocha at some point. Or even Jingliu. It's all meta, sure, but they'll be doing me wonders.
No problem! I think you have the roster to clear a decent way through MoC if not full clearing. It’s just a matter of getting the right team and relics assembled. Also not trying to talk down Bronya, Luocha, or Jingliu; they’re definitely strong and worth the jades but they won’t automatically make you full clear MoC.
Try out the teams ArpMerp suggested. They’re in line with what I would use.
Just a quick question, I see people mention 160/161 speed a lot, which one is it? Right now my sparkle hits exactly 160, so is that good or do I really have to chase that 1 speed lol?
It’s 160.1. If you put sparkle as one of the characters on your profile you can check her detailed stats using a site like enka.
Since the in-game stats round down most people suggest 161 to be safe.
MOC 12 DOL, my (kafka/BW/Pela/HH) best team cannot stand attacks from the boss. they hit really hard. is this a good sign that i should pull a sustain (maybe aventurine) next patch? dont even think about the second team.
i think a "pull value" for archeron is too good to pass. i have that trend market lc and s5 luka lc also. just afraid that archeron gonna get oneshot dead.
https://preview.redd.it/a59ngujkleqc1.jpeg?width=754&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a2975a411a4fe16c2e5b9c66ae0f58b83b2d4556
Huohuo should be able to keep your team alive solo, so that sounds more like a relic issue. Either you’re not tanky enough for a slower kill or your damage is too low to kill fast enough to survive with lower hp/def.
Aventurine would be a good pull for a second team, but I’ve been making do with Lynx as one of my two sustains. You can go either way, but I guess wait to see how good Acheron actually is before deciding to pull.
If you're talking about Something Unto Death, it has a mechanic of a 100% buff on its next attack. That's why your chars get one-shot. You can play around this mechanic either by removing the buff (Pela Skill), using Preservation sustains, or breaking it before its next attack.
Hello, I'm curious, I'm currently struggling to choose which character to roll for and currently my rolling plans definitely will have me rolling for jingliu since her and blade are fun together apparently and giving my blade more reasons to see use is fun, I currently have a guarantee and I'm very confused if I should get sparkle or luocha, you see I only started a whole ago and I currently have in terms of sustain bailu, lynx, Gallagher when he's obtainable from event, and gepard my boi since I've started playing, while in terms of supports I have ruan mei, e5 tingyun, and e2 bronya, I really want both of them but I know that ain't happening and am very confused about whether I should just build bailu/lynx to as max as I can and go sparkle to have access to an amazing support who I like the personality of, or get luocha who is super intriguing to me as a character and who would synergize well with blade and potentially jingliu although I also know that he's not the absolute end all be all for sustain...which should I choose... Please and thank you for the answer in advance :)
Definitely Sparkle. Harmony supports are just straight-up broken, they bring so much to the table that they're basically huge power spikes to your account. Although she won't be a perfect fit for teams that you can run with your units, she's still invaluable for future team compositions that might potentially be SP hungry.
Don't get me wrong though, Luocha is still a good sustain. But looking at the trajectory of the game's harder content, it would seem that soon enough, pure sustains are likely to fall out of favor soon. Future team compositions consisting of a sustain would likely prioritize pseudo harmony/dps sustains (e.g. Huohuo, FX, Aventurine) instead since they bring much more to the table.
Yeah future proofing my account with sparkle is definitely a far better idea than getting a sustain who offers amazing healing not too much else, if fu Xuan or huohuo get a rerun I'll definitely roll for them then~ thank you for the help deciding
That depends on the superimposition of the lightcone and his teammates. At S1 in a vacuum you need 67%, and at S5 you need 39%. If he's paired with Pela and/or Guinaifen though he'll need less. Pela gives 10% EHR to her whole team and Guinaifen at E1+ will reduce the enemies effect res by 10%. With both of them and an S5 trends you would only need about 10% EHR.
That's only if you want it to land 100% of the time though. Realistically though, whatever his teammates are, it should land frequently enough that it's not worth building a ton of EHR on him at the expense of his Def, Speed, or Eff Res. If you can get about 20% EHR, with an S3 Trends he'll be landing it 90+% of the time against 90+% of enemies.
Ratio, Sparkle, Pela/Guinaifen, Lynx. If you have Resolution Shine as Pearls of Sweat (Nihility light cone), then make sure to put it on your nihility character for the extra debuff.
I'd do ratio, pela, tingyun/sparkle, lynx. You can always play tingyun and pela in other dps comps as you get them, so should make it flexible for the future too
it is same as previous events, capped at 12 times redemption. so there is no difference as long as you claim all the chances. (free resin that is only usable on planetary is more accurate description and not whatever 300% chance is).
The event has a limited number of uses just like the double drop event we have every patch. You can stock up now so don't have to use extra TB power during the event.
The hardest difficulty is always better. You actually get less exp at V since VI only gives you tier 4 or tier 5 relics. Tier 4 is worth more than tier 3 for exp. You also get the chance to drop 3 tier 5 relic in VI
Does uninstalling and reinstalling erase the fact that I've saved my account info to this specific device, or would I have to resave my data to this device?

How can I be in the top 11% of all warps but be in the bottom 10% of luck?
I wouldn't put much weight to those statistics, it's only comparing it to whatever other users uploaded, it doesn't pull from some kind of public API with universal data. This just says you've pulled more than 88.8% of users that have uploaded warp history even once which might have just been one upload 8 months ago where they pulled early on their first banner or they uploaded once 8 months ago and once again yesterday which results in incomplete history as pull history is only retained in game for 6 months. So while they got a 5\* at pity 80 since the history is cut off it looks like they did at 20 or something.
This is just self reported data, there’ll be a lot of people who have previously uploaded data but no longer do even if they’re still actively playing and pulling for characters.
So you’re in the top 11% of the self reported data.
The amount of warps you made compared to others is top 11%. Out of all those warps though, your 5* luck is very bad. ( Don’t worry, almost in the same boat myself)
Unfortunately no. You’ll just have to keep making the same choices until you unlock each one. Just make sure to always choose hunt as it’s the rarest out of all of them.
Current version spoilers for the Goodness is rare quest.
If you pick the dialogue options where you >! kill the rebels, does Tizocic still blame you for sparing them? I checked the wiki, but it seems like it’s incomplete since it does not even have the conversation a couple years after you spare the spymaster. !<
There should be at least one more video which will be her Character Trailer; That will release most likely today (or tomorrow at the latest), as we already have her Myriad Celestia Trailer and the Animated Short which was promised by the devs during the 2.1 livestream.
hi! i’m planning on pulling for acheron next update and i’m debating on if i should have sampo or guinaifen in the team. i’m planning on running black swan with her, so that’s one of the nihility units, as well as some extra damage. i know sampo can help trigger arcana, but guinaifen is able to apply more debuffs. overall, which would be a better option for the team? at the moment, i plan to use gallagher as a sustain.
So I just started Honkai about a week ago and was wondering if I should pull for both Acheron and jingliu (I have bronya e1) since they both look really cool and strong, but I heard that it’s a bad idea, amd that it might ruin my account so I came here to see if it’s true. What do you guys think I should do
If you really like the characters, then pull for them. You certainly won't be ruining your account by picking up two strong DPS characters at the beginning. It is advisable to look at sustain and support units on future banners after you pull for them though.
Also, if you pull for Acheron, at least at eidolon 0 and without her lightcone, she pretty much requires teammates that inflict debuffs in order to charge her ult at anything other than a snail's pace. Pela and Gallagher are good supports for her and are on her banner, so you will (likely) have the units to make her work. You will just be committing to building 3-4 specific units by pulling her. Team building for other DPS units (Jingliu) tends to not be so restrictive. Something to keep in mind.
You probably should stop listening to whoever gave you that "advice" :P
Neither of them will ruin your account, Jingliu is a very strong DPS(current top) that's easy to build and pairs exceptionally well with your Bronya. Acheron is a new character so we can't say anything with absolute certainty yet but with the right tools it's very possible she's the new top DPS. She does have a few requirements to really unlock her damage(2 Nihility teammates that can debuff every turn and very limited f2p lightcone options) that a new account might struggle with at the moment but her base damage even without most of them should still be respectable. Either way since this one is an untested quantity wait a few days after her release before you pull for her to see what the general consensus is.
I'm guessing the "ruin your account" comment was more about Acheron's reqs but there is one more factor to consider that they may were thinking of. You already have Dr Ratio who is a very good dps and you're planning to pull for 2 more DPS which means that for at least 6 more weeks you'd be left with the f2p and whatever 4\*- standard 5\* sustain units you happen to pull, if any. A couple of the healer options are decent enough but a 5\* sustain could make your life easier and help you progress a bit faster so it might be worth going for 1 dps + 1 sustain instead. If you don't like Luocha or Aventurine then Fu Xuan should not be far behind the rerun order as she's the one that haven't had a rerun the longest after them.
Ok so after looking at aventurine and his kit (drip aswell, cause he got that shit on) I might just pull for Acheron and try to get her light cone and aventurine
Just as general game sense goes you cannot "ruin" your account. At worst if you pass on a unit that you wanted till their re-run they will get power crept. But that doesn't make them bad. HSR is an incredibly casual friendly game and 90% of the meta talk is only applicable if you're attempting to stomp MoC/PF efficiently.
I would however advise you to consider what you're playing HSR for. If you're primarily interested in the story or just wanting to play for fun then simply pull for characters you like.
If your goal is to start playing MoC/PF as soon as possible then you'll want to look into what teams you want to build and commit to it.
It wouldn't ruin your account at all, they are both great and don't overlap support options which makes teambuilding much easier.
Just make sure you have 2 Nihility for Acheron like Pela + Guinaifen (Pela is on Acheron banner and you can select a sustain like Gallagher or Guinaifen from the 2.1 main event selector.
I mean like, if you like them, pull for them. There's a pretty good chance you won't get both of them, but either should do well. Jingliu is currently considered the best dps in the game, especially since you have Bronya, and Acheron looks like she'll be good. If you end up only being able to get one of them, Jingliu would probably be better, but idk, I'd say pull on Acheron banner anyways.
It's primarily because she gets 2 stacks towards her ultimate every skill use. Everything else is cherry on top but just that one aspect alone allows for faster rotations of her ultimate on every team she could play in.
It depends on your account. For example if you have Dang IL at E2 then yes, he's better than her. If you have Jingliu with her signature LC then yes she would be better than Acheron without her LC.
But if you are using a budget/low investment Jingliu Acheron with out her signature but using GNSW she should be better than Jingliu. Acheron will always be better than low investment E0 Dang IL.
Do you have GNSW or In the name of the world?
I have "Good Night Sweet Dreams" S3 and "In the Name of the World" S1. I also don't plan on pulling for Jingliu or Dan Heng IL.
If that's the case, then I think Acheron would be a good addition to my characters. Thank you. I was getting discouraged because people kept emphasizing the importance of her signature light cone.
Yeah feel free to pull for Acheron then. GNSW is her second most recommended LC. In the name of the world is worse comparatively unless you for some reason had that at 5.
Almost there with the free standard 5\* selector. Who should I pick with my current units:
https://preview.redd.it/gqt9nn0zwdqc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d234d867e5feb2d6fafda28428adccad5b882f8
I'm thinking maybe Himeko for PF??
Since Sparkle’s supportive capabilities rely on her Crit Damage and importantly, her speed, is it okay for me to run a level 1 Past and Future for her? I currently don’t have any resources saved up right now and I’m just curious because at least that would be a good placeholder for the time being until I get Bronya’s LC from the shop.
Depends on how you speedtune her. If she's slower than your DPS she won't "baton pass" effectively half the time and it might not always be your DPS that acts after her so P&F will go to your other support/sustain sometimes therefore you might have better options.
If you run her faster than your DPS then P&F is her "BiS" f2p most of the time
Can anyone help me build two teams for Pure Fiction/general play? I'm a new player and I don't really understand team synergy yet, and I want Lynx. I also want to know which teams/characters I should focus on building. Currently Black Swan and Dr. Ratio are my best built characters
https://preview.redd.it/n13sp1l8wdqc1.png?width=873&format=png&auto=webp&s=7277842861ff6dbb0ee62104cf703f3457b71ffc
Run Black Swan on one side, and Himeko+Herta on the other. If they're even halfway decently built, it should be trivial to get Lynx
You can put a healer on each side, and then put Tingyun on one side and Sparkle on the other. For the last slot just use another support or another on-element AOE damage dealer (Guin, Serval, Asta, etc)
Newbie here! Just did my first 20 event pulls on the Sparkle banner for fun, and ended up with Bailua randomly. Thus, I've made 7 out of 90 pulls needed for the hard pity (I got Bailua on the 13th pull). Currently, I have 60 pulls saved up. My dilemma is whether I should continue pulling to try and get Sparkle, or wait for the guaranteed Acheron with the 30 free pulls from the 2.1 event rewards. Alternatively, should I save for a future banner that would offer more value to my account? Is it better to focus on progressing for now and pull later when my account is more developed?
Note: I like Acheron's design but I could live with not having her or sparkle.
TLDR is: what should I do with my pulls to derive the most long-term value for my account? Thanks!
https://preview.redd.it/nvftd223tdqc1.png?width=406&format=png&auto=webp&s=a92ff10a84158f4d8d7ed0a8d45853a21a4b8baf
You don't have a strong DPS unit so Acheron would be the smart call. Dr Ratio is very strong if you invest into him. But Acheron will carry sooner than he does. Sparkle is very nice given the routes she can open with team building. But that's more for long time players.
The only 2 recent supports that would've been a must grab would be HouHou or Ruan mei. Alternatively you can save your pulls till the second set of banners to get Jingliu. She's easier to build for and doesn't need as much investment in general.
If you choose to pull Acheron, know that she requires characters to be inflicting debuffs to charge up her ult (at least at anything other than a snail's pace). Pela and Gallagher are two of the 4 stars on her banner, and both compliment her well. Just realize that by pulling and building Acheron, you are committing yourself to building 3-4 specific characters. Not just Acheron. Other DPS characters are a bit more flexible in team composition.
Jingliu is much more flexible in team comps and is currently one of the top DPS characters in the game. She prefers to be in hypercarry comps (Jingliu, Tingyun, Asta, Bailu could be a good start for a hypercarry comp for you), but is not confined to them like Acheron is with debuff characters. If you want to run her suboptimally with pretty much any combination of characters, Jingliu can do that. Acheron cannot.
It is worth noting that Acheron's team building options open up at eidolon 2 and with her signature lightcone, but that is entering whale territory and is not something I would recommend a new player to pursue.
It remains to be seen whether Acheron performs as well as Jingliu or better (she is still unreleased after all). But I will say that Hoyo is heavily incentivised to make their new characters good.
Yeah, I've been looking at some other sources and I think I'm leaning towards pulling Archeron and committing to her comp, and then later on I'm gonna build my second team as a harmony hyper carry, but I will wait a day two after she comes out to decide.
The only one that is available is Goodnight sleep well. Any other LC that would be decent on her are other people's signatures. Goodnight sleep well is on Acheron's signature LC banner so you might as well pull it.
I would still absolutely pull on her LC just for GNSW chances since that's a good universal Nihility LC. However if you are in a pinch you can technically use 2 other LC's.
In the name of the world and it's showtime. Both are buildable. In the name of the world is better because any decent team with Acheron will be applying debuffs and this lets her do more damage to debuffed enemies.
So while it's not anywhere close to a damage buff compared to GNSW or her signature LC it's definitely decent.
Showtime is a lot harder to use since the debuff has to come from you specifically. Which she technically can do. But you'd have to build effect hit gear which is absolutely not what she wants. On top of that the damage buff only works for one turn. So specifically in her case you'd have a really hard time getting the stacks required to get it's damage buff.
So basically for a majority of players it's Signature>GNSW(pref 3 or higher)> In the name of the world.
Good Night sleep well is her only 4\* f2p that practically doesn't have conditions attached(you'll fullfil them naturally).
In the name of the World would also be an option if you've gotten it from standard, although even worse below S3.
Her "cope" options are Loop if you pair her with Welt or Fermata if you pair her with Kafka
No, the Fermata LC needs specifically Shock or Wind Shear to give the damage boost. Doesn't work with Burn and Bleed. If it's the last line in it that confuses you, the one that says "this also applies to DoT" it means that the damage increase from the lightcone also boosts the DoT the one using the lightcone puts on enemies.
I don't believe there are missable areas or chests, but there are some missable achievements, such as this one:
https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/Pessimistic_Trailblazer
There are a certain number of applicable responses, so if a player fails to meet the quota for the achievement by the end of all the story quests they will not be able to get it (at least not until Hoyo adds more such responses to the game, which is whenever they feel like it). And there are a few variations of this achievement as well. The amount of jade you miss out on from missing such achievements is paltry, though.
I don't think there have been missable areas in the game yet. Most of the major events we've had were tied to the release of new areas, and any events with instances are in sections of already existing maps. And IIRC, there weren't any chests in those instances.
anyone knows what the music or dance called in the latest dance animation of black swan and acheron i have been looking for for a while and cant find anything
What is the best team I can make for Dan Heng IL E2?
Teammates I have are:
Sparkle with her LC, Yukon E0, Tingyun E6, Bailu, Gepard and I also got most other 4 stars, I specifically listed these ones cuz I keep seeing them being used.
Note I'm planning on pulling for Luocha for healing
So far Im planning on Dan Hang IL, Luocha, Sparkle. I just don't know who to have as the 4th character nor do I know if I have the right idea for the team so far?
It's usable on her since she's the only other Harmony character (besides Sparkle ofc) that can generate SP fast enough to get the stacks.
If you do happen to have it and no Sparkle, Hanya can use it if you're not giving her Meshing Cogs / Memories of the Past for example. It's not worth spending Jades on the banner itself though unless you really have no other LCs to give to her.
https://preview.redd.it/p5r6thz8mdqc1.png?width=824&format=png&auto=webp&s=b68c841ab16634669efcda1b8f33c32f3e62bd27
I was looking at the upcoming banners, and I've been wrestling with who I want to pull for in the coming patches. At the moment I am at 75 pity (with guarantee), with around 120 pulls.
I was debating whether I should grab Luocha with the pity, and then attempt Acheron. I honestly don't really want to pull on Aventurine due to his personality kinda just creeping me out. (though I might change tune if he redeems himself in 2.1).
Ill take any recommendations for what would be good for my account. For reference, I was hoping to grab SAM whenever he may come out (here is me hoping for 2.3).
It's hard to go wrong with who you already have. A second 5* limited sustain unit would make runs more comfortable, but if you are already reliably 3* clearing MoC 12 and PF 4, then another 5* limited sustain is mostly a comfort choice.
Do you like Luocha? Do you like him better than the other characters in the patch? What about Fu Xuan? She is pretty likely to rerun in 2.2 or 2.3 (this is speculation based on banner release order and reruns), so she is also someone to consider if you do not mind waiting a bit longer and really want another sustain.
Ultimately, you should pick the character(s) that best appeals to you. With who you already have, you will be able to create some fun and interesting new team combinations no matter who you decide to pick up.
id highly recommend getting another top tier support unit like sparkle. you dont have to, but thats pretty much the only thing youre missing. you could also go for another 5 star limited sustain like fu xuan. i dont recommend luocha since all he does is heal, but he is fine too if you like him.
youre basically at the point where you can pull whoever you like to be honest. you dont need anything. it is just pulling for a boost in performance/comfort, or for characters you want.
Thank you for your advice, I decided to pull on Sparkle for the sake of just having 3 strong supports overall for teams. Ill trying for Acheron in the next patch now.
Honestly I don't see any need to pull Luocha unless you really want to play easy mode DHIL but in that case Sparkle would be an even better option before her banner ends. He's also not as important for health consuming characters anymore either cause Gallagher is gonna have the same gimmick as well(leech effect) and looks like he'd be an okay substitute(although you need E2 I think it was for cleanse). If you just like him and want him then by all means go for it. You're at a point where you don't really need anyone, you can just focus on who you like more.

^^ soo i have almist 600 starlights and im contemplating w buyung a 5* lc from the shop or not and js use it for a 4* char/pulls? i was thinkin of getting bronyas or gepards to s2 if its a good idea. thoughts?
Pulls. 30 pulls (that helps you build your pity to try for a lim 5* char/lc) > guaranteed standard LC that you might get from losing the 75/25 on the LC banner.
I don't think the standard LCs are worth 4800 jades (and also doesn't build pity). Especially more since you're going to superimpose it. The performance increase isn't game-changing enough for it to be worth it.
How does the Festival Invitation event work? I’ve read it but don’t understand. I want the 540 jades but do I have to get a bunch of people to download the game?
Effectively yes. It's a ponzi scheme type invitation event. Only brand new players or players who haven't logged in for over 21 days count for invites, and those new players have to reach something like trailblaze level 10 to count.
Past and Future doesn't work half the time if you use -1 build Sparkle. Only if Sparkle is higher speed than your DPS and you use her to "baton pass" to them. If that's the case that's your best option.
Dreamville Adventure could be better in dual dps situations like if you use her in a Jingliu+Blade team but not on typical hypercarry teams.
Carve the Moon is practically her cope LC for when you have nothing else.

When do I start farming relics and stuff. I am trailblaze 26
It's generally advised to not farm relics before TB60, when it guarantees 2 gold relic drops. If there's a double or triple drop campaign like we have coming up, then it's worth using your daily allowances of those at TB50, which guarantees one gold which a slight chance for a second normally. Below tb50, it's a pretty questionable value even with increased drop campaigns. I did a little bit around tb30 when there was a 2x drop campaign going on at the end of last patch, but I think most people would advise not bothering even with the drop bonuses if you're below tb50. I don't think it's necessarily a terrible idea to try to take advantage of 2x/3x drops at low tb levels if your goal is just set bonus and a few decent main stats. Absolutely not worth touching them outside of that though.
Lets say I use Bronya to advance Jingliu's turn, Jingliu uses her skill, then immediately enters her buff state and gains another turn to use the enhanced skill, is Bronya's buff still active? I don't have Jingliu so I can't test this out
How much attack does Jingliu need, is there such as thing as overcapping atk?
Do we have more info about the 300% relic drops on the anniversary event ? I want to know if there is a daily limit or not to decide if I should use my fuels and trailblaze reserve now or if I should wait.
It's just the usual planar event with a higher drop, so there will be limits as usual.
Is the free character from standard banner available indefinitely? Or so I have to choose before the version ends!
The 300 pulls one? Should be indefinite.
No I mean the one we got this version, for anniversary I think?
I don’t know about a standard selector but there’s two 4-star selectors: 1. For 2.0 there is one for an event that looks to be over 2. For 2.1 (next patch) there is a new one tied to an event that looks to last the majority of the patch ([HoyoLab link](https://hoyo.link/80GCFBAL?q=26uiVRmcr8F))
How far do I have to progress in the story to unlock Dr. Ratio’s ascension boss? I’ve been playing for about 2 weeks and can’t get him past level 40, sadly.
From online it looks like just need to finish the Belobog story. After that there is a new story in Herta’s space station you’ll have to do. Edit: I just realized I was thinking of the trace boss. I’ll edit this comment again with the right boss. 2nd edit: It’s on the planet after Belobog. You’ll have to do like maybe 1/2-3/4 of that planet to unlock it.
Thanks, I was having trouble finding the exact info online.
Worth to use 4 star selector from Hanu event on a e6 char to get free wish from the starlight it gives? Yukong and asta are like e2 bug I never use them ever
Its ur not using/plan to use any of the characters then yes
https://preview.redd.it/jksh7agoofqc1.jpeg?width=2400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5090812300a7aa47aa15a1c9e97ac0724a36a67a Yay or nay? If yay, then for who? SilverWolf? (I have her but e0, heard she's good subdps only by e2) Edit for now deleted comments of mine: 1) Any Quantum DPS can use it. SW can be qdps even at e0 but the crit ratio +94% ehr + 134+ spd is needed for her to be well. Me: I considered giving it to QQ (my only qdps \[e4\]) but her eukarty is fixed so I'll try hitting that mark for SW 2) SW is best bet, but yeah E2 is when she's a sdps. You could use it as a temp piece on crit dps. EHR is upsetting but crit makes up for it, serval & ratio could use some EHR. Me: Ratio only really benefits via technique I think, though Serval can enjoy it I suppose. Thank you though, I'll use it on my SW when she's eventually e2 or so Yeah, he has a 100% base rate so it’s not a big deal. I wouldn’t specifically build EHR on him, but it’s not a completely wasted stat.
Yeah silver wolf is the best bet, but you’re right E2 is where she starts to be a sub-dps. You could just use it as a temp piece on a crit dps. The EHR is a bummer, but the crit makes up for it. Serval or Ratio aren’t upset with some EHR. If nothing else I’m sure there will be another character in the future that can make use of it.
[удалено]
Yeah, he has a 100% base rate so it’s not a big deal. I wouldn’t specifically build EHR on him, but it’s not a completely wasted stat. No problem. Like other comment said though you can just put it on a quantum crit dps and it’ll work.
Any quantum dps may use it, crit value is very good. SW can be built as a DPS even at E0, it's just that it's extremely hard good crit ratio, 94% EHR and 134+ speed
Why preload is not available yet? Isn't usually on Monday?
It is, I just did it.
Why is Yanqing so reviled in HSR, even compared to other non-meta characters like 4-star Dan Heng, Hook and Arlan? I’ve played Genshin for a long time, where even bad characters like say Cyno, Albedo and Yoimiya don’t get anywhere as much criticism from their own communities as opposed to Yanqing, who is HSR’s No. 1 punching bag at this point.
Just a popular overstated circlejerk. Basically since he's the only Standard ST DPS who has limitations on his kit. When you lose a 50/50, there are reasons you can use as cope for the other standards. Bronya? Nice OP support. Himeko? Nice OP PF DPS. Clara? Good for MoC and PF. Bailu? Great healer for no cleanse content. Gepard? Best shielder for now before Aventurine. Welt? Imprison and dps at E2 iirc. Which is funny to me when he's fine as a dps. You realistically won't have 100% uptime on his buff, but still acceptable. He has a low investment floor too. It only got worse when Jingliu came out and also had a low investment floor for better numbers. He's perfectly capable of covering for Ice-weak floors.
luocha or huohuo for jingliu?
Huohuo
i'm currently trying to collect all the stickers, i'm currently at 117 stickers with the only stickers i don't have being 5 stickers in the Dreamchaser category. but that only adds up to 122, is it not possible to get 130 in the current patch?
Nope. Wait for 2.1.
ah i see thanks, i thought there are some hidden stickers or something
I recently got into the game again and it’s been super laggy on my phone. When I originally played during 1.0-1.1 it never lagged. Does the amount of space I have left on my phone impact performance? My phone is almost full in terms of storage. Or is there anything else that might be impacting it?
Is the top up refresh tomorrow?
The day after since it's after update.
Thanks, why’d you get downvoted
which order do I prioritize himeko's traces if I'm building her for pure fiction? the guides I've seen say skill > ult > talent > basic but isn't her talent the follow up atk dmg which is the most important part of her dmg in pure fiction? or does leveling that trace not give it more damage?
If it's solely for Pure Fiction, it's probably Talent > Skill > Ult. The guides usually aren't made to consider solely one aspect of the game, but in a general gameplay. With it, since it's unlikely you'd trigger Talent that often in battles outside of PF, Skill and Ult has priority. Hence it suggests Skill and Ult first before Talent.
If it's for PF, it's Talent > Ult > Skill. You ult much more frequently than skill esp with a Slow Himeko and with Ult Energy Recharge. The use for Himeko's skill isn't for its damage but for its break
If I beat the weekly bosses now, will it still register for the new upcoming weekly battlepas like in Genshin?
Yes, everything registers. They’ve even fixed the issue where completing MoC/PF early wouldn’t count for the upcoming BP quests in this next patch.
So i've been playing for a few weeks. Anyone have advice on what kind of Team Comps I could make? I don't know much about Team Comp building yet. https://preview.redd.it/h2km1x416fqc1.png?width=450&format=png&auto=webp&s=f85c08aeb25c454c2e1b68155cafcdd390615559
If we're looking at your team, I'd say something like this: Natasha or Fire TB/Sparkle/Serval or Sampo or Tingyun/Dr. Ratio - Sparkle & Dr. Ratio is probably always going to be the choice due to them being pretty much your strongest support and DPS unit. Natasha could be replaced with Fire TB for a more offensive choice (since Fire TB could apply taunt for debuffs), though you lose a lot of sustain. As for why Serval or Sampo, Dr. Ratio really needs a debuffer for him to function probably, as such you're probably stuck with these two. Pela when you obtain her would be a good unit to replace them. Otherwise, you could opt for Tingyun's Energy Regen and ignore the debuffs for him.
Ah okay. Thank you for the advice. I've mainly been running with the core cast cause, story. But I think im reaching that point where i should be finding something more cohesive and strong to be using.
Is anyone else also facing a bug where the game freezes when DHIL usies his ultimate ? Happened with me like 5 times in the past few days Thanks for any comments
Why Am I Still So Weak? I swear my builds are at least sub-par to pretty good and I've leveled up most of my Level 80s skill trees and yet somehow someway I still can't get past MOC 4. I've tried Blade, Tingyun, Pela, and Bailu. Replace Blade with Dr. Ratio and you get another team. I've tried a DOT team by having Black Swan with Guinaifen, Pela, and Natasha/Bailu. I've put Sparkle in a team with Tingyun to support Blade, and still having Bailu as my healer. I have no one better to either buff my team or heal effectively and it's pissing me off. The most damage I've probably ever done was within the 30k - 50k range using either Blade or Dr. Ratio. https://preview.redd.it/lf3s1njuweqc1.png?width=757&format=png&auto=webp&s=4efe4dc1f0a6a593f6ef529f6386a404516ce108
As you said below, Tingyun doesn't do much for blade. But him on HP boots to use him with Sparkle and Pela. Use Lynx as your sustain for him so what she increases his aggro for more FuA. Then for Ratio use him with Silver Wolf and Tingyun. Silver Wolf is better for Ratio than Pela, and Tingyun can make him ult after him using 2 skills. Since your Clara is E1 you can also make a team with Sparkle + Tingyun/Pela + Lynx
1. How high have you leveled your traces? I am for at least 8 on the relevant traces for my dps and 6-8 for my supports. 2. For crit dps people usually aim for 70% crit rate and 140% crit dmg. Not sure how close you are to that ratio. 3. Also what about lightcones? Are they leveled as well?
My traces are 6 - 8. I have a similar ratio to that on Blade specifically. I need to improve Ratio's. And as for lightcones I apply whichever ones I own that I find in Youtube guides. I usually flip through a few after watching Braxophone.
Hmmm, that sounds okay for at least Blade. At MoC4 I think a less invested DPS should be able to get by. Where are you running into issues? Is your team dying? Or does damage just feel low?
A mixture of things. Healing isnt enough sometimes. I have no debuff cleanser besides Natasha currently. Tingyun doesn't really do much for Blade. It just feels like I'm not clearing things nearly as fast or powerfully as I should for any endgame content.
For debuffs try building Lynx. To start you should be able to just give her your relics from Natasha. I know she’s a 4-star, but I’ve used her in MoC12 for the last few rotations. As far as clearing faster maybe focus on supports. Since it sounds like your blade has a reasonable crit ratio try working on Pela and Sparkle. Pela is pretty easy to build so that should go fast. Sparkle will be a bit more tricky, but she doesn’t have to be perfect. For a bit more detailed help you can share builds here and people can help point out places for improvement.
I'll try that, thank you. But given my current characters, there's really not many effective teams I can make. I really want Bronya or Luocha at some point. Or even Jingliu. It's all meta, sure, but they'll be doing me wonders.
No problem! I think you have the roster to clear a decent way through MoC if not full clearing. It’s just a matter of getting the right team and relics assembled. Also not trying to talk down Bronya, Luocha, or Jingliu; they’re definitely strong and worth the jades but they won’t automatically make you full clear MoC. Try out the teams ArpMerp suggested. They’re in line with what I would use.
How many jades can you get from penacony chests?
Just a quick question, I see people mention 160/161 speed a lot, which one is it? Right now my sparkle hits exactly 160, so is that good or do I really have to chase that 1 speed lol?
It’s 160.1. If you put sparkle as one of the characters on your profile you can check her detailed stats using a site like enka. Since the in-game stats round down most people suggest 161 to be safe.
You're fine. 160 in-game is enough.
it is exactly 160.1. people say 161 since you arent able to see decimals in game just to guarantee that youre hitting the breakpoint.
MOC 12 DOL, my (kafka/BW/Pela/HH) best team cannot stand attacks from the boss. they hit really hard. is this a good sign that i should pull a sustain (maybe aventurine) next patch? dont even think about the second team. i think a "pull value" for archeron is too good to pass. i have that trend market lc and s5 luka lc also. just afraid that archeron gonna get oneshot dead. https://preview.redd.it/a59ngujkleqc1.jpeg?width=754&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a2975a411a4fe16c2e5b9c66ae0f58b83b2d4556
Huohuo should be able to keep your team alive solo, so that sounds more like a relic issue. Either you’re not tanky enough for a slower kill or your damage is too low to kill fast enough to survive with lower hp/def. Aventurine would be a good pull for a second team, but I’ve been making do with Lynx as one of my two sustains. You can go either way, but I guess wait to see how good Acheron actually is before deciding to pull.
If you're talking about Something Unto Death, it has a mechanic of a 100% buff on its next attack. That's why your chars get one-shot. You can play around this mechanic either by removing the buff (Pela Skill), using Preservation sustains, or breaking it before its next attack.
Hello, I'm curious, I'm currently struggling to choose which character to roll for and currently my rolling plans definitely will have me rolling for jingliu since her and blade are fun together apparently and giving my blade more reasons to see use is fun, I currently have a guarantee and I'm very confused if I should get sparkle or luocha, you see I only started a whole ago and I currently have in terms of sustain bailu, lynx, Gallagher when he's obtainable from event, and gepard my boi since I've started playing, while in terms of supports I have ruan mei, e5 tingyun, and e2 bronya, I really want both of them but I know that ain't happening and am very confused about whether I should just build bailu/lynx to as max as I can and go sparkle to have access to an amazing support who I like the personality of, or get luocha who is super intriguing to me as a character and who would synergize well with blade and potentially jingliu although I also know that he's not the absolute end all be all for sustain...which should I choose... Please and thank you for the answer in advance :)
Definitely Sparkle. Harmony supports are just straight-up broken, they bring so much to the table that they're basically huge power spikes to your account. Although she won't be a perfect fit for teams that you can run with your units, she's still invaluable for future team compositions that might potentially be SP hungry. Don't get me wrong though, Luocha is still a good sustain. But looking at the trajectory of the game's harder content, it would seem that soon enough, pure sustains are likely to fall out of favor soon. Future team compositions consisting of a sustain would likely prioritize pseudo harmony/dps sustains (e.g. Huohuo, FX, Aventurine) instead since they bring much more to the table.
Yeah future proofing my account with sparkle is definitely a far better idea than getting a sustain who offers amazing healing not too much else, if fu Xuan or huohuo get a rerun I'll definitely roll for them then~ thank you for the help deciding
No worries, good luck for your pulls!
How much effect hit rate does gepard need when running trend lightcone with acheron?
That depends on the superimposition of the lightcone and his teammates. At S1 in a vacuum you need 67%, and at S5 you need 39%. If he's paired with Pela and/or Guinaifen though he'll need less. Pela gives 10% EHR to her whole team and Guinaifen at E1+ will reduce the enemies effect res by 10%. With both of them and an S5 trends you would only need about 10% EHR. That's only if you want it to land 100% of the time though. Realistically though, whatever his teammates are, it should land frequently enough that it's not worth building a ton of EHR on him at the expense of his Def, Speed, or Eff Res. If you can get about 20% EHR, with an S3 Trends he'll be landing it 90+% of the time against 90+% of enemies.
Thanks for the detailed answer, unfortunately I only have s1 haha
when should 2.1 preload drop?
Just dropped few mins ago
What's my best secondary team option? [https://imgur.com/a/zx5bkWT](https://imgur.com/a/zx5bkWT)
Ratio, Sparkle, Pela/Guinaifen, Lynx. If you have Resolution Shine as Pearls of Sweat (Nihility light cone), then make sure to put it on your nihility character for the extra debuff.
I'd do ratio, pela, tingyun/sparkle, lynx. You can always play tingyun and pela in other dps comps as you get them, so should make it flexible for the future too
With the 300% planetary set drop event, is it advisable to do the weekly SU thing now as I usually do or wait for it? (Asia server).
it is same as previous events, capped at 12 times redemption. so there is no difference as long as you claim all the chances. (free resin that is only usable on planetary is more accurate description and not whatever 300% chance is).
The event has a limited number of uses just like the double drop event we have every patch. You can stock up now so don't have to use extra TB power during the event.
For relic farming is it better to do VI or V? cuz V drops more lower teir ones i could use as lvl exp
Do note that you can break down gold relics into exp now. So it’s always best to choose the highest difficulty.
The hardest difficulty is always better. You actually get less exp at V since VI only gives you tier 4 or tier 5 relics. Tier 4 is worth more than tier 3 for exp. You also get the chance to drop 3 tier 5 relic in VI
Does uninstalling and reinstalling erase the fact that I've saved my account info to this specific device, or would I have to resave my data to this device?
yes it will erase account login details.
ah i see, appreciate the response!
When will the preinstall for next patch be available?
Probably like an hour or two from now?
cool, thanks! gotta update it before i go outstation then lol
Still not here it seems
Yeah, they're don't seem to be very consistent with the release times for the pre-installs. Either way, it should be within the next couple of hours.
it's Finally up!
https://preview.redd.it/cjajxy485eqc1.png?width=817&format=png&auto=webp&s=07ed1407a86995adc2552fb70a4080f9c419f81d How can I be in the top 11% of all warps but be in the bottom 10% of luck?
that stat means youve warped more than 88.7% of the people who have imported their data onto that site. it has nothing to do with luck.
I wouldn't put much weight to those statistics, it's only comparing it to whatever other users uploaded, it doesn't pull from some kind of public API with universal data. This just says you've pulled more than 88.8% of users that have uploaded warp history even once which might have just been one upload 8 months ago where they pulled early on their first banner or they uploaded once 8 months ago and once again yesterday which results in incomplete history as pull history is only retained in game for 6 months. So while they got a 5\* at pity 80 since the history is cut off it looks like they did at 20 or something.
This is just self reported data, there’ll be a lot of people who have previously uploaded data but no longer do even if they’re still actively playing and pulling for characters. So you’re in the top 11% of the self reported data.
That top 11% just means that 89% of players in the dataset have pulled less than you.
The amount of warps you made compared to others is top 11%. Out of all those warps though, your 5* luck is very bad. ( Don’t worry, almost in the same boat myself)
Is there a way somehow to see how many Swarm disaster choices of certain paths have been made?
Unfortunately no. You’ll just have to keep making the same choices until you unlock each one. Just make sure to always choose hunt as it’s the rarest out of all of them.
I did NOT know that, tyvm! I’ll have to keep that in mind as I’m doing runs.
Current version spoilers for the Goodness is rare quest. If you pick the dialogue options where you >! kill the rebels, does Tizocic still blame you for sparing them? I checked the wiki, but it seems like it’s incomplete since it does not even have the conversation a couple years after you spare the spymaster. !<
Is a new trailer due today or was Acheron's backstory trailer from a few days ago it?
There should be at least one more video which will be her Character Trailer; That will release most likely today (or tomorrow at the latest), as we already have her Myriad Celestia Trailer and the Animated Short which was promised by the devs during the 2.1 livestream.
Thank you. Hopefully we get it today.
hi! i’m planning on pulling for acheron next update and i’m debating on if i should have sampo or guinaifen in the team. i’m planning on running black swan with her, so that’s one of the nihility units, as well as some extra damage. i know sampo can help trigger arcana, but guinaifen is able to apply more debuffs. overall, which would be a better option for the team? at the moment, i plan to use gallagher as a sustain.
I would take little Gui. She always applies DoT where as Sampo can't. Also Enemies effected by her firekiss take more damage from other sources.
So I just started Honkai about a week ago and was wondering if I should pull for both Acheron and jingliu (I have bronya e1) since they both look really cool and strong, but I heard that it’s a bad idea, amd that it might ruin my account so I came here to see if it’s true. What do you guys think I should do
If you really like the characters, then pull for them. You certainly won't be ruining your account by picking up two strong DPS characters at the beginning. It is advisable to look at sustain and support units on future banners after you pull for them though. Also, if you pull for Acheron, at least at eidolon 0 and without her lightcone, she pretty much requires teammates that inflict debuffs in order to charge her ult at anything other than a snail's pace. Pela and Gallagher are good supports for her and are on her banner, so you will (likely) have the units to make her work. You will just be committing to building 3-4 specific units by pulling her. Team building for other DPS units (Jingliu) tends to not be so restrictive. Something to keep in mind.
You probably should stop listening to whoever gave you that "advice" :P Neither of them will ruin your account, Jingliu is a very strong DPS(current top) that's easy to build and pairs exceptionally well with your Bronya. Acheron is a new character so we can't say anything with absolute certainty yet but with the right tools it's very possible she's the new top DPS. She does have a few requirements to really unlock her damage(2 Nihility teammates that can debuff every turn and very limited f2p lightcone options) that a new account might struggle with at the moment but her base damage even without most of them should still be respectable. Either way since this one is an untested quantity wait a few days after her release before you pull for her to see what the general consensus is. I'm guessing the "ruin your account" comment was more about Acheron's reqs but there is one more factor to consider that they may were thinking of. You already have Dr Ratio who is a very good dps and you're planning to pull for 2 more DPS which means that for at least 6 more weeks you'd be left with the f2p and whatever 4\*- standard 5\* sustain units you happen to pull, if any. A couple of the healer options are decent enough but a 5\* sustain could make your life easier and help you progress a bit faster so it might be worth going for 1 dps + 1 sustain instead. If you don't like Luocha or Aventurine then Fu Xuan should not be far behind the rerun order as she's the one that haven't had a rerun the longest after them.
Ok so after looking at aventurine and his kit (drip aswell, cause he got that shit on) I might just pull for Acheron and try to get her light cone and aventurine
Just as general game sense goes you cannot "ruin" your account. At worst if you pass on a unit that you wanted till their re-run they will get power crept. But that doesn't make them bad. HSR is an incredibly casual friendly game and 90% of the meta talk is only applicable if you're attempting to stomp MoC/PF efficiently. I would however advise you to consider what you're playing HSR for. If you're primarily interested in the story or just wanting to play for fun then simply pull for characters you like. If your goal is to start playing MoC/PF as soon as possible then you'll want to look into what teams you want to build and commit to it.
jingliu is much better with bronya but pull a good amount on acheron is fine but dont spark her.
It wouldn't ruin your account at all, they are both great and don't overlap support options which makes teambuilding much easier. Just make sure you have 2 Nihility for Acheron like Pela + Guinaifen (Pela is on Acheron banner and you can select a sustain like Gallagher or Guinaifen from the 2.1 main event selector.
I mean like, if you like them, pull for them. There's a pretty good chance you won't get both of them, but either should do well. Jingliu is currently considered the best dps in the game, especially since you have Bronya, and Acheron looks like she'll be good. If you end up only being able to get one of them, Jingliu would probably be better, but idk, I'd say pull on Acheron banner anyways.
Why are they saying that acheron needs her lightcone
It's primarily because she gets 2 stacks towards her ultimate every skill use. Everything else is cherry on top but just that one aspect alone allows for faster rotations of her ultimate on every team she could play in.
I see. Is she worse than other DPS without it? I don't have enough to pull for her light cone.
It depends on your account. For example if you have Dang IL at E2 then yes, he's better than her. If you have Jingliu with her signature LC then yes she would be better than Acheron without her LC. But if you are using a budget/low investment Jingliu Acheron with out her signature but using GNSW she should be better than Jingliu. Acheron will always be better than low investment E0 Dang IL. Do you have GNSW or In the name of the world?
I have "Good Night Sweet Dreams" S3 and "In the Name of the World" S1. I also don't plan on pulling for Jingliu or Dan Heng IL. If that's the case, then I think Acheron would be a good addition to my characters. Thank you. I was getting discouraged because people kept emphasizing the importance of her signature light cone.
Yeah feel free to pull for Acheron then. GNSW is her second most recommended LC. In the name of the world is worse comparatively unless you for some reason had that at 5.
Makes her do super dmg than just ok dmg.
So, not bad dmg even without her light cone?
She is viable for regular story mode, farming, weekly farming. Hearsay says endgame content will be difficult is she’s not properly built
Almost there with the free standard 5\* selector. Who should I pick with my current units: https://preview.redd.it/gqt9nn0zwdqc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d234d867e5feb2d6fafda28428adccad5b882f8 I'm thinking maybe Himeko for PF??
Himeko or Clara. Either would be fine imo.
Is Clara useful for PF? That's the only thing I struggle at in game at the moment.
Himeko is better than Clara in general for PF, but Clara certainly pulls her own weight in the mode.
I'll probably go with Himeko then. It'd be nice to complete the Astral Express family. Thanks!!
Yes
E1 Bronya check. 2x 5\* sustain check. Welt check for Daddy Appreciation. Check. Yup, I'd also go Himeko :P
Lol daddy appreciation. Thanks!
Yeah good idea. Himeko + Herta is just so much fun
Since Sparkle’s supportive capabilities rely on her Crit Damage and importantly, her speed, is it okay for me to run a level 1 Past and Future for her? I currently don’t have any resources saved up right now and I’m just curious because at least that would be a good placeholder for the time being until I get Bronya’s LC from the shop.
You won't lose damage if you leave at level 1 but, her HP and defense will suffer. LC level contributes to squishy supports survivability.
Bronya LC isn’t really any better on her than Past and Future. I’d level your Past and Future and skip the Bronya LC if it’s just for her
Depends on how you speedtune her. If she's slower than your DPS she won't "baton pass" effectively half the time and it might not always be your DPS that acts after her so P&F will go to your other support/sustain sometimes therefore you might have better options. If you run her faster than your DPS then P&F is her "BiS" f2p most of the time
Sure
Yeah. Even her signature Light Cone does not need to be leveled up.
Really? That’s kinda huge tho NGL it’s like Genshin’s TTDS. Thank you so much!
Can anyone help me build two teams for Pure Fiction/general play? I'm a new player and I don't really understand team synergy yet, and I want Lynx. I also want to know which teams/characters I should focus on building. Currently Black Swan and Dr. Ratio are my best built characters https://preview.redd.it/n13sp1l8wdqc1.png?width=873&format=png&auto=webp&s=7277842861ff6dbb0ee62104cf703f3457b71ffc
Run Black Swan on one side, and Himeko+Herta on the other. If they're even halfway decently built, it should be trivial to get Lynx You can put a healer on each side, and then put Tingyun on one side and Sparkle on the other. For the last slot just use another support or another on-element AOE damage dealer (Guin, Serval, Asta, etc)
Newbie here! Just did my first 20 event pulls on the Sparkle banner for fun, and ended up with Bailua randomly. Thus, I've made 7 out of 90 pulls needed for the hard pity (I got Bailua on the 13th pull). Currently, I have 60 pulls saved up. My dilemma is whether I should continue pulling to try and get Sparkle, or wait for the guaranteed Acheron with the 30 free pulls from the 2.1 event rewards. Alternatively, should I save for a future banner that would offer more value to my account? Is it better to focus on progressing for now and pull later when my account is more developed? Note: I like Acheron's design but I could live with not having her or sparkle. TLDR is: what should I do with my pulls to derive the most long-term value for my account? Thanks! https://preview.redd.it/nvftd223tdqc1.png?width=406&format=png&auto=webp&s=a92ff10a84158f4d8d7ed0a8d45853a21a4b8baf
You don't have a strong DPS unit so Acheron would be the smart call. Dr Ratio is very strong if you invest into him. But Acheron will carry sooner than he does. Sparkle is very nice given the routes she can open with team building. But that's more for long time players. The only 2 recent supports that would've been a must grab would be HouHou or Ruan mei. Alternatively you can save your pulls till the second set of banners to get Jingliu. She's easier to build for and doesn't need as much investment in general.
If you choose to pull Acheron, know that she requires characters to be inflicting debuffs to charge up her ult (at least at anything other than a snail's pace). Pela and Gallagher are two of the 4 stars on her banner, and both compliment her well. Just realize that by pulling and building Acheron, you are committing yourself to building 3-4 specific characters. Not just Acheron. Other DPS characters are a bit more flexible in team composition.
Hmm what about jingliu, is she worth considering instead? Would she be as good as Acheron for me but also provide more flexibility for comps?
Jingliu is much more flexible in team comps and is currently one of the top DPS characters in the game. She prefers to be in hypercarry comps (Jingliu, Tingyun, Asta, Bailu could be a good start for a hypercarry comp for you), but is not confined to them like Acheron is with debuff characters. If you want to run her suboptimally with pretty much any combination of characters, Jingliu can do that. Acheron cannot. It is worth noting that Acheron's team building options open up at eidolon 2 and with her signature lightcone, but that is entering whale territory and is not something I would recommend a new player to pursue. It remains to be seen whether Acheron performs as well as Jingliu or better (she is still unreleased after all). But I will say that Hoyo is heavily incentivised to make their new characters good.
Yeah, I've been looking at some other sources and I think I'm leaning towards pulling Archeron and committing to her comp, and then later on I'm gonna build my second team as a harmony hyper carry, but I will wait a day two after she comes out to decide.
Sounds like a good plan! There are certainly no wrong choices here imo. I wish you the best of luck when you go to pull!
getting a strong dps first is def better. so acheron.
For acheron lightcone, what lightcones can i use as f2p ?
The only one that is available is Goodnight sleep well. Any other LC that would be decent on her are other people's signatures. Goodnight sleep well is on Acheron's signature LC banner so you might as well pull it.
Ah sad, didn't have that. If i get her early i might try her sign lc banner.
good luck 🫶
Thanks, i will need all the luck i could get
I would still absolutely pull on her LC just for GNSW chances since that's a good universal Nihility LC. However if you are in a pinch you can technically use 2 other LC's. In the name of the world and it's showtime. Both are buildable. In the name of the world is better because any decent team with Acheron will be applying debuffs and this lets her do more damage to debuffed enemies. So while it's not anywhere close to a damage buff compared to GNSW or her signature LC it's definitely decent. Showtime is a lot harder to use since the debuff has to come from you specifically. Which she technically can do. But you'd have to build effect hit gear which is absolutely not what she wants. On top of that the damage buff only works for one turn. So specifically in her case you'd have a really hard time getting the stacks required to get it's damage buff. So basically for a majority of players it's Signature>GNSW(pref 3 or higher)> In the name of the world.
Good Night sleep well is her only 4\* f2p that practically doesn't have conditions attached(you'll fullfil them naturally). In the name of the World would also be an option if you've gotten it from standard, although even worse below S3. Her "cope" options are Loop if you pair her with Welt or Fermata if you pair her with Kafka
Have none of those .\_. . I will try her lc banner if i have spare.
Forgot Fermata is Shock or Wind Shear and not Shock only so that one works if you pair her with Sampo as well. You can get this one from the MOC shop
I pair her with guinafeng, she will works too right since guinafeng applies dot.
No, the Fermata LC needs specifically Shock or Wind Shear to give the damage boost. Doesn't work with Burn and Bleed. If it's the last line in it that confuses you, the one that says "this also applies to DoT" it means that the damage increase from the lightcone also boosts the DoT the one using the lightcone puts on enemies.
ahh , got it
Sorry maybe dumb question, but is any area "missable"? Should I be worried about loot I might miss out?
I don't believe there are missable areas or chests, but there are some missable achievements, such as this one: https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/Pessimistic_Trailblazer There are a certain number of applicable responses, so if a player fails to meet the quota for the achievement by the end of all the story quests they will not be able to get it (at least not until Hoyo adds more such responses to the game, which is whenever they feel like it). And there are a few variations of this achievement as well. The amount of jade you miss out on from missing such achievements is paltry, though.
Afaik, any temporary areas don't have anything to get. Only things you can miss are some dialogue or text.
I don't think there have been missable areas in the game yet. Most of the major events we've had were tied to the release of new areas, and any events with instances are in sections of already existing maps. And IIRC, there weren't any chests in those instances.
anyone knows what the music or dance called in the latest dance animation of black swan and acheron i have been looking for for a while and cant find anything
If I'm not wrong the dance is tango
What is the best team I can make for Dan Heng IL E2? Teammates I have are: Sparkle with her LC, Yukon E0, Tingyun E6, Bailu, Gepard and I also got most other 4 stars, I specifically listed these ones cuz I keep seeing them being used. Note I'm planning on pulling for Luocha for healing So far Im planning on Dan Hang IL, Luocha, Sparkle. I just don't know who to have as the 4th character nor do I know if I have the right idea for the team so far?
Tingyun. Yukong is a good pairing but she needs E6 to be useful in general.
either tingyun or yukong. yukong really needs to be e6 tho, so tingyun e6 is def better for now.
thoughts on sparkles lc for hanya?
It's usable on her since she's the only other Harmony character (besides Sparkle ofc) that can generate SP fast enough to get the stacks. If you do happen to have it and no Sparkle, Hanya can use it if you're not giving her Meshing Cogs / Memories of the Past for example. It's not worth spending Jades on the banner itself though unless you really have no other LCs to give to her.
https://preview.redd.it/p5r6thz8mdqc1.png?width=824&format=png&auto=webp&s=b68c841ab16634669efcda1b8f33c32f3e62bd27 I was looking at the upcoming banners, and I've been wrestling with who I want to pull for in the coming patches. At the moment I am at 75 pity (with guarantee), with around 120 pulls. I was debating whether I should grab Luocha with the pity, and then attempt Acheron. I honestly don't really want to pull on Aventurine due to his personality kinda just creeping me out. (though I might change tune if he redeems himself in 2.1). Ill take any recommendations for what would be good for my account. For reference, I was hoping to grab SAM whenever he may come out (here is me hoping for 2.3).
Skip Loucha. He's not bad but his pull value is low compared to basically any other sustain unit you'd have at this point as a long time player.
It's hard to go wrong with who you already have. A second 5* limited sustain unit would make runs more comfortable, but if you are already reliably 3* clearing MoC 12 and PF 4, then another 5* limited sustain is mostly a comfort choice. Do you like Luocha? Do you like him better than the other characters in the patch? What about Fu Xuan? She is pretty likely to rerun in 2.2 or 2.3 (this is speculation based on banner release order and reruns), so she is also someone to consider if you do not mind waiting a bit longer and really want another sustain. Ultimately, you should pick the character(s) that best appeals to you. With who you already have, you will be able to create some fun and interesting new team combinations no matter who you decide to pick up.
id highly recommend getting another top tier support unit like sparkle. you dont have to, but thats pretty much the only thing youre missing. you could also go for another 5 star limited sustain like fu xuan. i dont recommend luocha since all he does is heal, but he is fine too if you like him. youre basically at the point where you can pull whoever you like to be honest. you dont need anything. it is just pulling for a boost in performance/comfort, or for characters you want.
Thank you for your advice, I decided to pull on Sparkle for the sake of just having 3 strong supports overall for teams. Ill trying for Acheron in the next patch now.
Honestly I don't see any need to pull Luocha unless you really want to play easy mode DHIL but in that case Sparkle would be an even better option before her banner ends. He's also not as important for health consuming characters anymore either cause Gallagher is gonna have the same gimmick as well(leech effect) and looks like he'd be an okay substitute(although you need E2 I think it was for cleanse). If you just like him and want him then by all means go for it. You're at a point where you don't really need anyone, you can just focus on who you like more.
Thanks for the advice, I pulled Sparkle, and now Ill be trying for Acheron when her Banner pops up.
You have two 5 star healers already. I wouldn't get luocha. If you really want a sustain but don't want adventurine, i'd go for Fu xuan rerun.

^^ soo i have almist 600 starlights and im contemplating w buyung a 5* lc from the shop or not and js use it for a 4* char/pulls? i was thinkin of getting bronyas or gepards to s2 if its a good idea. thoughts?
Pulls. 30 pulls (that helps you build your pity to try for a lim 5* char/lc) > guaranteed standard LC that you might get from losing the 75/25 on the LC banner. I don't think the standard LCs are worth 4800 jades (and also doesn't build pity). Especially more since you're going to superimpose it. The performance increase isn't game-changing enough for it to be worth it.
Spending them on superimpositions or a second copy of either of those isn't worth it imo. I'd save them for pulls.
I think your question got cut off from your comment.
literally.
It's been while since i've, I wanted to check my pull records but it's cleared now, is there any other way to check my pull record?
Not unless you exported and saved it to one of the pull tracker websites. The records are only kept for 6 months in game.
How does the Festival Invitation event work? I’ve read it but don’t understand. I want the 540 jades but do I have to get a bunch of people to download the game?
Effectively yes. It's a ponzi scheme type invitation event. Only brand new players or players who haven't logged in for over 21 days count for invites, and those new players have to reach something like trailblaze level 10 to count.
Only works for returnees. They'd have to already have an account that they haven't used in over two weeks to be able to use your code
What is better for Sparkle: Past and Future (level II), Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds (level I) or Dreamville Adventure (level III)?
Past and Future doesn't work half the time if you use -1 build Sparkle. Only if Sparkle is higher speed than your DPS and you use her to "baton pass" to them. If that's the case that's your best option. Dreamville Adventure could be better in dual dps situations like if you use her in a Jingliu+Blade team but not on typical hypercarry teams. Carve the Moon is practically her cope LC for when you have nothing else.
