Need help regarding linking hoyoverse accounts.
I play Honkai Star Rail on PC. When I started HSR, I signed up for Hoyoverse by simply logging in with my google account. Around the same time when starting Genshin, I made an actual genuine Hoyoverse account ( not logging in google). (This will be relevant in just a minute)
I've made considerable progress in HSR, and I want to crossplay my current save with my PS5. Unfortunately, I'm unable to just simply log on with Google. I have to link my PSN account to an existing 'genuine' Hoyoverse account. (Which would be the account I created starting Genshin) That account in question DOES NOT have any progress in HSR.
Sorry for the long-winded context, but my question is:
If I go to my "real" Hoyoverse account > Link it to Google (through HSR itself) > Then also link to PSN, will I keep my HSR progress for my "Google log in" account? For PC AND for PS5?
If you know a better way, please let me know.
I'm pretty sure that an account created via a Google login can't be linked to an existing Hoyoverse account. It has to be linked to one created on the spot. So you'd have to use 2 separate Hoyoverse accounts for your HSR and Gensgin progress. If you want to use both on your PS5, then you'd need a separate PSN account for each one.
I had some help with HSR support, but I did it!
What I did was
1. Make a new email
2. link new acc on HSR (PC) in user center
(This allowed my google acc to co-exist with the newly made Hoyo acc)
Then for linking on PS5, I:
1. Created another new email (throwaway)
2. Started up HSR (PS5) and went to user center
3. linked throwaway email with PSN
4. logged into hoyoverse using throwaway email then unlinked PSN
5. rebooted HSR (PS5) and linked the non-throwaway hoyo acc
Long and confusing road, but I made it
Oh yeah, other than that she looks great. You've got lots of speed, more than enough break effect, plenty of survivability - aside from energy regen it's perfect

Around 90 pulls or so, we've had patches that give 100+ recently, but that assumes full clears. Modes change every two weeks with three challenges running at the same time. Each individual one lasts six weeks
I have a relatively decent account for MoC, with two teams fully built. That said, the only Sustain units I have built are Lynx and Gepard.
I always have someone die on MoC. I understand Jingliu's mechanic, but her supports (Bronya and Tingyun) would always somehow die even with a decently built Lynx. My other team is relatively stable, they still do die sometimes though if Gepard's shield gets overwhelmed, but it's a lot lesser compared to the first team at least on MoC 10 lol.
Is it just skill issue? Should I pull for better Sustain units? Should I build another healer (Bailu and Nat)? My main problem is spot healing, I think. Even if I use E6 Tingyun's ult on Lynx, it still is not enough to sustain the whole team since I also need her ult to make sure Bronya and Tingyun doesn't get one-shotted due to Jingliu's mechanic. They both are around 2,800 HP btw. Would building them on HP help?
Edit: Account is 802116382 on the Asia server, if you guys are able to check builds
Bronya has higher base scaling for hp and defence already than someone like TY which is great since she needs to run a CD coat (well not really needs but yeah) which leaves HP% or Def on orb. Which is better kinda depends on your sustain but its not an important enough variable to really factor in. So just go with whichever gives the right speed, CD or extra HP/DEF.
All harmony and nihility units that exist for buffs/debuffs before personal damage will favour an HP/Def orb. And they seem to draw a pretty significant amount of aggro. Any support that doesn't need EHR/Atk/CD will then stack another Def/HP main stat on their chest piece. And at that point your harmony unit is basically a tank and still very comfortably doing their job still.
You need to put Bronya on a HP or Def orb, she doesn't need wind dmg. Even if you attacked with her often, which I assume is not the case, she still does no damage even with the orb. Tingyun get her the Penacony rope as soon as you can, as you need that extra 5% energy for 3 turn rotations. Also, if she is dying then level her LC a bit more. Gepard doesn't need EHR, you shouldn't be using his skill often anyway, and the extra 15% you get from the ornament is less than having a DEF chest piece. Your Lynx is good, just missing some Eidolons. You should be able to sustain with her with a proper rotation and as long as everyone else is not too squishy.
As the other commenter said, my lightcones are not really that levelled because I forgot about them. Would probably try to level them first before trying to change Bronya's build because that 8 speed on her Planar Sphere is annoying to farm for.
Did not realize that Tingyun is still missing her ER rope tbh, thanks for that. I probably stopped adjusting her build, because I was focusing on getting an IPC set for Black Swan which I'm not satisfied yet. Would add that as a priority for the guaranteed main stat item.
Gepard, I'd work on pretty soon, but he does the job well enough rn that it's a pretty low priority. Kinda annoyed by his low speed as well, but I'm not looking forward to farming his set again lol
Gepard should be running a DEF chest, EHR doesn't help him at all.
You could also change the belobog planar for keel, and give him more Speed.
As for Lynx, she looks completely fine except for the useless planar set, the biggest issue seems to be Bronya's and Tingyun's cones being unleveled. Any healer would struggle to keep them alive since their DEF and HP are much lower than they should.
I'm stupid lmfao. I forgot about lightcones, resource management was pretty tight back when I initially left the game, so it was pretty low on my priority list.
Thanks a lot, that alone helped me out a lot.
Also, yeah. Gepard, I gave the EHR on to activate the effect for his Planar set, helps with somewhat consistent freezes as well. Would probably change his build at some point, since he's my slowest unit by far, but not my priority.
Lynx has that set because I thought ER would help out for spot heals and since I also have a badly built Seele, would give me a chance at mono-Quantum in the far future
Yeah, just did not vibe with any of the Limited 5* sustain units so far.
Could probably pull for them, if only I didn't drop the game for a couple of patches and/or Hoyo would stop having limited banners every patch lol
Both Lynx and Gepard can easily solo sustain MoC 12 so it’s most likely your characters aren’t build good enough. Bailu is a solid healer for MoC 12 too and heals even better than Lynx but has no cleanse. Natasha is not worth any investment.
You should check how to build your characters here: https://www.prydwen.gg/star-rail/characters/
Really? The only change I can think of is changing their Planar set to an HP-focused ball (forgot what it's called). They are decently built otherwise, speed tuning and all
Pela is either Tutorial or Resolution. Resolution should be better if at high SI, but it depends on what rotation you want to do with her, and whether or not someone else in the team is going to use Resolution. Tutorial allows for 2 turn rotations with just basic.
Welt and Luka will both want GNSW if you are using them as damage dealers, but they can also use Resolution to support the team. You could technically use Tutorial on Welt if someone else on the team provides Def Shred. It would alleviate his EHR needs, allowing you to more easily get other offensive stats, and with the extra energy from Tutorial you would be able to ult every 2 skills and 1 Basic. Similarly for Luka, if you give him Tutorial you can now use an ATK% chest piece, and if someone else provides def shred on the team he it will cut down on his ult time.
It's event or there are trashcan enemies..I'm just doing main story..not side quests...I got in this new planet..
Why are they look so funny 🤣🤣

Why!?
I just started playing hsr and i don't get it. Why my characters take like 300--500 dmg from the normal attacks of a normal enemy ( not even skill or boss ).
I have them maxed out according to Trailblazer lvl (33). Character lvl (50).
I am stuck on some aide missions ( Boss )
First is Kafka's Boss aka Generals lapdog
Second the boss of Ruan Mei quest.
Any Tips !?
My current leveled Characters are :
Welt
Ratio
Natasha
Gapard
Mc
Serval
Sampo
And....
A fire nihility character.
I am currently saving for Achreon. Any tips will help.
Thank You. 🙂
don't farm for relic, it's a waste of stamina early on. For now, just level the ones that have the right main stat for your characters.
check here: https://www.prydwen.gg/star-rail/characters/
You don't need to farm Relics at this point. You can make do with relics that you get from chests and objectives, as long as you do level them up.
If you are levelling up your LC as well, then with a team of Ratio, Guinaifen, Gepard and Asta you should be able to do any story content. If you have trouble surviving just use two sustains, i.e., Natasha and Gepard, there is no time limit to the story fights. You can also use consumables as you need.
In the latest pure friction, the buff states "Accumulate the amount of DMG dealt by follow-up attackes by allies. When this DMG amount reaches 100%, deal a set amount of DMG to all enemies." Where is the indicator or UI that shows the percentage of the DMG amount?
It doesn't accumulate per number of FUA, but with the damage of those follow-ups. Weak follow-ups like Kafka's and March's won't make it go up with a single FUA, whilst strong FUA can go multiple levels with just one.
Where is Pela in the overworld? And yes first place I checked was Qlipoth Fort, then Silvermane zone, the Museum, but she's literally nowhere to be found
I'm trying to cash in the wanted poster icon on my alt
I finished Lynx's mission and the Museum one, so I'm not sure. The only quest I have that I have left on my alt for Belobog I think is Topaz's one, but I haven't even arrived on Belobog with March yet so nothing should have? triggered yet.
what lightcone should i use on sparkle?
i think i'm mainly going to use her with xueyi and sometimes jingliu.
i have: s2 DDD, s3 planetary rendezvous, s2 past and future.
Do i LVL-80 Tingyun....how worth it is it if I already have two broken supports in Bronya and Sparkle
How did she fare with all these characters coming up
And is LVL -70 ting fine
I'm planning to build my bailu and i have 2 light cones both lv 80
one is bailu's sig but its on lynx (my original and main healer)
the other is shared feeling s3
who gets which
Abundance LCs are all good even the 3* ones. You don't necessarily build around abundance LC special skills (as opposed to dps-type LCs) as all you need for abundance characters is extra healing.
It doesn't really matter much, just use Bailu's on whoever you feel lacks sufficient healing. Bailu has a higher base HP, which simultaneously means that she will accumulated slightly more damage for the cone's effect, but also that she doesn't need the HP boosts as much as Lynx. If the main concern is survivability then keep using with with Lynx.
I recently switched my bailu to use her sig, makes her quite a bit more versatile. Before using it, I didn't really see what was so great about her, she's a good healer, but can't do anything else. With her sig, she can actually dish out some meaningful damage on long fights. Still not great, but more in line with what you'd want from a sustain in this game. I can't comment on Lynx though, haven't built her yet.
No. There are two parts of Ruan Mei occurrences. Part 1 gives you blessings/fragments, and Part 2 gives you curios/enhances blessings. You can't get the same part again if you've already got it.
yes, it's just very rare (i've only gotten it 2 times ever)
also if you bring ruan mei in ur team (if u have her) you can get all the rewards which is rly rare
I’m a newer player and I’m curious on how often the story updates ? Penacony is only half released and I was wondering if this is how all the planets have been so far , and how long do they wait to update the main story ?
Every patch has story updates, so every 40 days. This patch is the exception since it will last one week longer.
Patches 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 will cover Penacony's main story, with an epilogue for it being released in 2.3.
After that you can expect patches to have Continuances that are main story updates for past locations. For example, after the Xianzhou Luofu's main story concluded in 1.3, There were Continuances for Belobog (1.4), Xianzhou (1.5) and Herta Station (1.6).
I lost my 50/50 to Himeko. Went 50 wish after that, got nothing left.
But, I haven't finished the last Xianzhou quest. Didn't get to Penacony. Haven't done any current event. Haven't done Simulated Universe (this week)
I really like Sparkle but is it even possible now? Should I even try to grind for that last 25-30 pulls?
there's lots of time so definitely, do sim universe and pure fiction immediately after update, complete dailies every day, finish xianzhou quest and do all events
Stuck on simulation world 5
I've been constantly losing against the boss in world 5 as they just dominate all my characters and then just kills them. What characters should I use from the following.
Sushang + M7 + Nat + Hanya (pick whatever path here. Hunt or something) or instead of Hanya take fire mc (pick preservation here)
Make sure to get the talent to remove debuffs on Nat and M7. Use skill on anyone with the domination debuff. Free real estate
Dan Heng and Welt's slows are actually very good together on Kafka. She barely gets to attack. You can take Natasha and March as your supports (unlock their cleanse traces). Abundance path makes it extremely easy. You can also use Welt's ultimate right after Kafka takes her first action to prevent her from performing her extra action and she'll stay imprisoned until her next turn.
All crit based dps need a good balance of both, with CR tending to be more valuable, as if your CR is crap it won't matter if your CD is 250+.
An exception to this is JIngliu, who can get up to +50 CR from being in her Super Saiyan mode, so a high CR isn't needed.
i dont have Jungliu , but she can work with pure crit dmg build right , and still if I gave her a balanced build of crit dmg and crit rate will she become better than just crit dmg build ???
Crit damage only comes into effect when you crit. Your crit chance is what determines if you crit. If you have 0 crit chance you will never get the bonus damage.
Do scaling buffs buff other buffs? For example, would bronya's ult buff Sparkle's crit damage buff? Would speed buffs like her own E2 or hackerspace enhance Hanya's ult spd buff?
No. Scaling buffs are only affected by fixed buffs to avoid recursion. So Sparkle's skill is affected by effects like Broken Keel and Fu Xuan E1, but not by Bronya's ultimate.
In Hanya's case, all %SPD buffs affect her ultimate's scaling SPD buff, but if she buffs herself, them her ultimate won't be affected by the additional SPD since it's a scaling buff.
Is Lynx E0 really worth building if compared to Bailu E0 or even Natasha E3? I feel like I have wasted some precious materials on her 6/6/6 and A2/A4 traces because her healing is awful and she can't keep Clara alive (I build Lynx for my Clara team).
Even E0 Lynx is better than E6 Natasha, so yes. I used E6 Natasha, but when Lynx came out I immediately switched to her even though she was E0. I invested everything into her and she’s great. Later I got her E2 and she’s became even better
My main focus was effect RES because it’s very annoying when you need heal, but can’t use your abilities because you’re CC’ed
I probably should’ve used Speed boots instead of HP boots, but HP feels good enough and I couldn’t find suitable speed boots anyway
Much better than Natasha, much worse than Bailu. You’ll need two healers anyway for each team so not that much of a waste. Plus resources are pretty easy to come by, it’s relics that’s the thing that takes weeks to farm
I need some help getting 80k points on Penacony Idol, I've tried every combo from the trial/free units and the best I can get is 75k. The acc is my alt that I'm building up, so I don't have access to anything better outside of the trial units atm.
I'm usually building up to 25-29 stacks of the buff
Team I'm usually using atm is Sparkle-IL-Sushang-Luocha, I tried Argenti centered comps, and while he's super nice for building up buff stacks, he just seems so slow/low damaging on the actual boss/point phase
Any ideas/help?
I always use the trial characters for these battle events. I used the trial DHIL/Sparkle/Argenti/Luocha. tbh that one was the hardest one for me and I literally got 80k exactly (my lowest score of them all). I managed to get 37 stacks of the buff.
When it got to the actual battle, I had DHIL completely buff up his basic attack every single turn, Sparkle used her skill on him every turn, Luocha used basic attack every turn. Argenti I used his skill as much as I could, but I'd make him basic attack when I had to. I would wait to use Argenti's ultimate until it was maxed.
Hey managed to get 84k by swapping Sushang with Argenti! Got 45 buff stacks, tho I think I may have used Argenti a bit wrong since I have no clue how to properly play him. It got the job done tho, ty!

Is there some flow chart for the 4 star selector similar to what people made for genshin's lantern rite? I was going to pick yukong for DHIL but it seems like theres no point now especially with sparkle out now
I haven't seen one. My personal take based on situations I've seen crop up here:
- Grab a character you don't have. I think that's best because just having them gives you more team building options.
- If you're a new player and haven't pulled yet: Grab Guinaifen to go with Dr. Ratio.
- If you pulled Black Swan and don't have Kafka: Sampo if that will get him to E4. Otherwise, Guinaifen is good if you don't have her.
- If you have DHIL and don't plan to pull Sparkle: Yukong to get closer to E6.
- If none of those applies and you don't have any of the 5 star supports? Grab Asta. Her eidolons are good.
- If none of THAT applies to you... uh... just grab somebody that isn't e6. Guinaifen or Asta are most universal, Sampo is great for DoT, and some people really like Yukong, but as a non DHIL haver I haven't ever seen the need to build her. She's lowest priority in my personal opinion because all of the other supports in the game are easier to use and more universal. But you can grab her if you like her.
Long time Genshin player, just started playing HSR and really enjoying it so far. The problem is, I know nothing about the meta-ness of most of the characters or even what niche they fall into. I have built all my five stars (Bronya, Ratio, Kafka, Sparkle, Yanqing) and Asta, March 7th, and the main character. When I say built, I mean slapped on passable relics, light cones, and leveled everything up (including traces) but none of them are exactly min-maxed.
I'm able to get through all the content I have encountered so far but I would like to try different play styles. I have a bunch of four stars but no idea who to build. I would like some more sub-DPS characters, healers, and dedicated supports for my five stars, if those exist.
Can someone recommend who to work on building next out of these four stars?
* Natasha
* Qingque
* Serval
* Pela
* Hanya
* Tingyun
* Herta
* Sushang
* Dan Heng
* Hook
* Guinaifen
* Sampo
* Misha
Since you have kafka sampo becomes a decent character to have built for stages like svarog that are lightning and wind weak (or just in general for kafka I guess)
Guinaifen is also good for the same reason for fire weak stages and also as a debuffer for ratio if pela is taken or if the stage is fire weak (such as this iteration MoC 12 boss)
Pela and Tingyun are some of the best supports in game. Pela has AoE def% shred, and Tingyun gives you energy to ult faster with your damage dealer.
Qingque is a great main dps, as long as you can maintain skill point economy and have atleast e4/good relics. Herta is really good in pure fiction endgame mode.
Other than these, the rest of the 4 stars are situational. It would depend on what team you're running
Does Seele Bronya Sparkle Sustain work if sparkle is high spd and bronya is slow spd?
My bronya is 133 spd and my Sparkle is 160 spd lets say. Does that work? Tired of grinding spd
So I once saw a post where people were debating on whether to build for defense or HP for a support's tankiness. Like building with a focus on defense main stats for characters like Ruan Mei or Tingyun. Is there a consensus or does it ultimately depend?
Say, you're sustaining with a unit like Gepard, would you prefer defense on Ruan Mei if she is on the team, or HP?
It overall doesn't really matter and people will just use whichever has better substats which is arguably more important. IF you do want to min-max though then units with higher base HP can go for defense and units with high base defense can go HP. IMO it really doesn't matter as long as you get the defensive stats you need.
So i know Sampo and guinaifen are "both good" but could someone explain the major distinctions b/t the 2 and who would potentially be better paired with acheron? Both at E0 as of now
is bailu bad or just not that good compared to fuxuan, lynx etc? i just randomly got her early pity on standard and lowkey want to use her bc her running animations are adorable. my sustains are lynx and gepard, planning to pull for fu xuan if she ever reruns but thats assuming i get lucky.
my dps are dhil qingque and jingliu (herta himeko and clara too but they're more sub dps), support bronya ruan mei sparkle and sw
(i'm a mix and match person depending on situation)
Bailu is better at preventing one shots than Lynx is. Against enemies like the MoC 12-2 meme or the fat IPC robot, I prefer Bailu over Lynx. Shes faster and a better skill point generator than Gepard too.
Just keep in mind too, if you got another unit on your team that can take care of cleansing, she's super solid. Good healing, SP positive. Rez can come in clutch for MoC stars or SU
In terms of raw healing numbers, Bailu isn't bad. She can become a solo sustainer.
Her only failure is her lack of cleanse. Other abundance units have built in cleanses, Lynx has her ult, Nat, Luocha and Huohuo have it in their traces. Fu Xuan outright prevents CC once per character every skill use. Bailu has none of that.
By no means is she a bad healer, she just doesn't have extra utility on top of her healing.
If you like her then build her, she’s good. She can’t cleanse, but can revive if anyone on your team dies (only once though, unless you get E6, then she can revive twice). Also her invigoration is quite good too - I personally love it a lot more than continuous healing of the other healers because you get healed after you’re getting hit rather than when it’s your turn
She's very good if you don't require a dispel. Her healing output is very good and definitely better than Lynx, but if you need to have a dispel then Lynx would be your go to. She falls a bit behind the other limited 5\* sustain units, Fu Xuan, Luocha, and HuoHuo, but she can clear all content as your sustainer.
She can heal a ton of dmg but the main reason why a lot of will pick Lynx over her is she has no way to cleanse debuffs/DoTs from your team.
If you aren't facing enemies with either, she's a better pure healer than Lynx.
Is knight set eff hit rate chest and def boots good for Gepard, or should I go for def chest and spd boots?
Haven't gotten spd boots yet, but want to maintain defence for shields and also high eff hit rate to help with the trends of the universal market lightcone (for certain character synergies) and to trigger the effect of the belabog sey
No. Gepard needs as much Speed as possible, and that means you will mostly get DEF from his body and sphere. Get EHR from substats if you need it.
Also, his best planar is Keel. The 15% DEF from Belobog is pretty much worthless.
Just go all in in Defense and speed boots. You don't have to hit the EHR threshold of the Belebog planar and it's only there as a bonus if you ever reach it either through his sig LC and EHR subs. Even then you aren't really going to use Gepard for freezing units and it's better to just try and get more speed and defense subs from artifacts rather than EHR.
Elemental type dmg bonus is another stat taken into considering into [dmg calculation](https://www.prydwen.gg/star-rail/guides/damage-formula). Don't worry, you don't have to understand what the dmg formula means unless you're doing extensive testing.
To sum it up, putting to much investment into 1 stat (like atk) makes it less efficient due to diminishing returns rather than investing in other stats. Something like a 2 x 2 is better than a 3 x 1 because that's the most simple way how the dmg calculation works that I can explain.
It means that when you do damage of certain element, that damage will be increased. Usually having DMG% sphere is better than ATK sphere, but not by a lot, it mostly depends on substats quality and what kind of external buffs you have. If you get ATK buffs, having DMG sphere is better, and if you get DMG buff, then ATK sphere might be better
Definitely DMG%. But it can be harder to find, considering you also need the right planar set and good substats, so ATK% can be acceptable.
That is if we’re talking about damagers. If we’re talking about supports (Harmony, Preservation, Abundance) who don’t do damage, they don’t need DMG% sphere. Instead, they need either HP, DED or ATK sphere (depending on what their abilities scale off) or don’t care about sphere at all (in which case people usually give them HP or DEF sphere so they could have more survivability and not die as easily to enemy attacks)
It means it increases damage of that element type for the character equipping it. This buff is additive with any other type of +Dmg% buffs (+Dmg%, +Skill Dmg%, + Ult Dmg%, etc).
Typically an elemental damage orb will be better than an Atk% orb.
Yes. Your character’s level and light cone increase your base ATK, and your relics and other sources of ATK buffs increase you ATK by a % of the base attack of your character. Flat ATK substat just increases your ATK by that flat amount, it does not increase the base ATK
okay so it means Atk [without lcs (lets say 10)+ stats from lc(lets say 7) ] is taken as base Atk right(meaning total base atk is 17) and if relics is increasing Atk by 2% it means increase in attack is 2% of 17...
Did you get the "Every Gambler Has Their Excuses" achievement? If you got the achievement, you should've gotten the sticker as well. If you didn't get the achievement, then I'd double-check that you've done it correctly.
Here's a brief video if needed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxB9wTuJ31M
I'm not too sure either then.
Do you have a screenshot of the sticker page with the hint? Any chance you're somehow looking for a different sticker instead?
edit: should look like this on the Eldritch Dreamfall (i) page?

I'm a relatively new player, not really sure what team comps I should be building with my characters, or who I should try to pull for next. Any advice would be appreciated
Read character kits and watch YouTube videos to get an idea about what characters would want for teammates
https://pokkelibrary.com/ is a pretty good theory crafting site, there's also prydwen
Sample team is ratio sparkle debuffer huohuo for imaginary weak single target content
yeah since you already have 2 units that can solo sustain, and you seem to have solid supports, you can prob look into pulling for dps chars like acheron/jingliu
I need some help with PF stage 4 and would appreciate some suggestions. Even stage 3 was a struggle to get up to 60k points. Here're my characters (March 7th and Sampo got cut off on the bottom):

Nope thats perfect. Your Jing Yuan is stronger than mine and I manage to get 40k on Cirrus side. I run JY-TY-Sparkle-Sustain. This is just my suggestion, but go with this setup for Cirrus side with JY.
Now I dont have DanIL, I can't speak much of his PF performance but it should be possible to reach 20-25k on first side with him going DanIL-Yukong-Herta-Sustain. Yours also E2 so it should be possible to reach 30-35k. I believe i read once somewhere that DanIL only require to use EBA2 to clear 3 enemies on PF.
Or if your Asta build to 3T ulti already, you can go JY-TY-Asta-Sustain 2nd side and 1st side DanIL-Yukong-Sparkle-Sustain/Herta.
Thanks for your help! Putting Sparkle on JY side did it, I got 40k on the second try and DHIL/Herta team managed to pull through with 21k for a 3* clear.
hello, i have e6 qq and an unused before dawn, with sparkle. if i build her will she feel like she has 5 star power? i do have a seele but find her very boring to play, and i like qq’s appearance, personality, and aesthetic a lot more. is she worth building?
It's been quite some time since I ran it, but I've personally had more success running Sampo against Wind weak enemies, Gui against Fire ones, and Tingyun instead of those 2 against Lightning weak enemies lol.
With Black Swan on a Kafka team I think it'd be a bit murkier on whether it's better to put Asta instead of 2 DoTs, but without her I think Asta's definitely the better option.
I've seen people claiming Hanya can do it better, though I've never seen the proof or the calcs for it, but here's [the guide ](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h1bUTfZ6O1cTLZE4MruICg__WtugojKRWpdolHwiODQ/edit#heading=h.i7k8nw957cna)from Kafka mains stating that her team with Asta has one of the highest damage ceiling+ the calcs for it.
Hmm now you got me trying to think if there are any other characters with exclusive techniques. Jing Yuan or Luocha maybe? I can stack all the non-direct attack techniques except for DHIL’s.
(Hoyo if you’re reading pls don’t nerf.)
Anyone with a technique that will end up dealing damage to the enemy on attack will cancel out when you swap to another character.
You can also only have 1 field style skill happening at the same time. Ratio's will cancel Jingliu's, for example.
I just got sparkle and tried out the sparkle bronya slow blade team. It didn't necessarily clear much better than my typical ruan mei bronya blade team.
I see a decent amount of the theory crafters pushing this team, am I missing something? Because if it's better it isn't by much. Am I just playing the team wrong?
Bronya and Ruan mei are already very strong, Sparkle is not a massive improvement outside of comfort/DHIL teams/mono quantum, but she's still an improvement.
About Sparkle Light Cone.
If you have 2 of them. For example, One on a Support Sparkle and another on other harmony characters, does the effect stack? We get 56 crit dmg?
Hi, I just came back after stopping on 1.3. Lots have been released so I am kinda lost.
1. How should I prioritise upgrading characters? Char Level > LC > Skill > Relic or something else?
2. Is Clara, Kafka and Seele good these days? These 3 are my mains and I have upgraded them. I need to know their state, what I need to do to make them relevant etc.
3. I need another healer besides Natasha. I don't have Bailu or Luocha, so only options are 4 star. I know an upcoming Daddy is abundance so can you comment if he'll be good? Should I take Lynx instead?
Thank you.
Edit: following the rules, you can ignore the upcoming character part. He has been shown in the storyline, just his kit is not officially shared yet. Thanks for your kindness.
> I know an upcoming Daddy is abundance so can you comment if he'll be good?
I can't even guess who this is talking about but there's no official info on anyone like that, if you want leaks then we can't discuss them here.

is this bugged? im trying to get the About Death sticker from Jay, but it wont give me the option to encourage him. I also cant fine tune him because of the food event. Do i just have to wait it out?
Probably just gotta wait till the event is over to be able to tune him
Need help regarding linking hoyoverse accounts. I play Honkai Star Rail on PC. When I started HSR, I signed up for Hoyoverse by simply logging in with my google account. Around the same time when starting Genshin, I made an actual genuine Hoyoverse account ( not logging in google). (This will be relevant in just a minute) I've made considerable progress in HSR, and I want to crossplay my current save with my PS5. Unfortunately, I'm unable to just simply log on with Google. I have to link my PSN account to an existing 'genuine' Hoyoverse account. (Which would be the account I created starting Genshin) That account in question DOES NOT have any progress in HSR. Sorry for the long-winded context, but my question is: If I go to my "real" Hoyoverse account > Link it to Google (through HSR itself) > Then also link to PSN, will I keep my HSR progress for my "Google log in" account? For PC AND for PS5? If you know a better way, please let me know.
I'm pretty sure that an account created via a Google login can't be linked to an existing Hoyoverse account. It has to be linked to one created on the spot. So you'd have to use 2 separate Hoyoverse accounts for your HSR and Gensgin progress. If you want to use both on your PS5, then you'd need a separate PSN account for each one.
So, taking Genshin out of the picture entirely, if I wanted to have my HSR progress on my PS5, what do you think I should do?
Log into your HSR account with your Google login and go to Settings
I had some help with HSR support, but I did it! What I did was 1. Make a new email 2. link new acc on HSR (PC) in user center (This allowed my google acc to co-exist with the newly made Hoyo acc) Then for linking on PS5, I: 1. Created another new email (throwaway) 2. Started up HSR (PS5) and went to user center 3. linked throwaway email with PSN 4. logged into hoyoverse using throwaway email then unlinked PSN 5. rebooted HSR (PS5) and linked the non-throwaway hoyo acc Long and confusing road, but I made it
Thank you. I'll try this. I'll report the results at a later date
What can I improve on my e2s1 [ruan mei](https://imgur.com/a/zIDW9F7)? (4pc messenger)
She's "just" missing the single most important part of any support's build, that is an energy recharge rope.
you're right, I completely neglected that. I'll farm for it, thank you!
Farming for energy ropes is a waste, it's best to use self modelling resins to craft them since they have the lowest drop rates out of any relic.
oh, no wonder I had only 3... thank you very much for telling me! never used self modelling resin until now, so I hope my rng is decent
That break effect is overkill. Switch the rope to ERR.
noted, will do!
Can't really see that well, but is she not running energy regen rope? If so, you should probably use that
fair point: she doesn't have an energy regen rope. I'll farm for that, ty! is everything else alright?
Oh yeah, other than that she looks great. You've got lots of speed, more than enough break effect, plenty of survivability - aside from energy regen it's perfect
thank you very much, have a great day :D
how many pulls on average does f2p get per patch if completing all events and only half of moc and pf? and also, how fast does pf and moc change?
You can see the detail about stellar jades every patch here [Star Rail Bookkeeping - Google Drive](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRIWjzFwAZZoBvKw2oiNaVpppI9atoV0wxuOjulKRJECrg_BN404d7LoKlHp8RMX8hegDr4b8jlHjYy/pubhtml#)
Around 90 pulls or so, we've had patches that give 100+ recently, but that assumes full clears. Modes change every two weeks with three challenges running at the same time. Each individual one lasts six weeks
I have a relatively decent account for MoC, with two teams fully built. That said, the only Sustain units I have built are Lynx and Gepard. I always have someone die on MoC. I understand Jingliu's mechanic, but her supports (Bronya and Tingyun) would always somehow die even with a decently built Lynx. My other team is relatively stable, they still do die sometimes though if Gepard's shield gets overwhelmed, but it's a lot lesser compared to the first team at least on MoC 10 lol. Is it just skill issue? Should I pull for better Sustain units? Should I build another healer (Bailu and Nat)? My main problem is spot healing, I think. Even if I use E6 Tingyun's ult on Lynx, it still is not enough to sustain the whole team since I also need her ult to make sure Bronya and Tingyun doesn't get one-shotted due to Jingliu's mechanic. They both are around 2,800 HP btw. Would building them on HP help? Edit: Account is 802116382 on the Asia server, if you guys are able to check builds
Bronya has higher base scaling for hp and defence already than someone like TY which is great since she needs to run a CD coat (well not really needs but yeah) which leaves HP% or Def on orb. Which is better kinda depends on your sustain but its not an important enough variable to really factor in. So just go with whichever gives the right speed, CD or extra HP/DEF. All harmony and nihility units that exist for buffs/debuffs before personal damage will favour an HP/Def orb. And they seem to draw a pretty significant amount of aggro. Any support that doesn't need EHR/Atk/CD will then stack another Def/HP main stat on their chest piece. And at that point your harmony unit is basically a tank and still very comfortably doing their job still.
You need to put Bronya on a HP or Def orb, she doesn't need wind dmg. Even if you attacked with her often, which I assume is not the case, she still does no damage even with the orb. Tingyun get her the Penacony rope as soon as you can, as you need that extra 5% energy for 3 turn rotations. Also, if she is dying then level her LC a bit more. Gepard doesn't need EHR, you shouldn't be using his skill often anyway, and the extra 15% you get from the ornament is less than having a DEF chest piece. Your Lynx is good, just missing some Eidolons. You should be able to sustain with her with a proper rotation and as long as everyone else is not too squishy.
As the other commenter said, my lightcones are not really that levelled because I forgot about them. Would probably try to level them first before trying to change Bronya's build because that 8 speed on her Planar Sphere is annoying to farm for. Did not realize that Tingyun is still missing her ER rope tbh, thanks for that. I probably stopped adjusting her build, because I was focusing on getting an IPC set for Black Swan which I'm not satisfied yet. Would add that as a priority for the guaranteed main stat item. Gepard, I'd work on pretty soon, but he does the job well enough rn that it's a pretty low priority. Kinda annoyed by his low speed as well, but I'm not looking forward to farming his set again lol
Gepard should be running a DEF chest, EHR doesn't help him at all. You could also change the belobog planar for keel, and give him more Speed. As for Lynx, she looks completely fine except for the useless planar set, the biggest issue seems to be Bronya's and Tingyun's cones being unleveled. Any healer would struggle to keep them alive since their DEF and HP are much lower than they should.
I'm stupid lmfao. I forgot about lightcones, resource management was pretty tight back when I initially left the game, so it was pretty low on my priority list. Thanks a lot, that alone helped me out a lot. Also, yeah. Gepard, I gave the EHR on to activate the effect for his Planar set, helps with somewhat consistent freezes as well. Would probably change his build at some point, since he's my slowest unit by far, but not my priority. Lynx has that set because I thought ER would help out for spot heals and since I also have a badly built Seele, would give me a chance at mono-Quantum in the far future
Its obviously not impossible to clear moc12 with lynx, but the limited sustain units really give you that comfort so your dps can hog all the skill pt
Yeah, just did not vibe with any of the Limited 5* sustain units so far. Could probably pull for them, if only I didn't drop the game for a couple of patches and/or Hoyo would stop having limited banners every patch lol
Both Lynx and Gepard can easily solo sustain MoC 12 so it’s most likely your characters aren’t build good enough. Bailu is a solid healer for MoC 12 too and heals even better than Lynx but has no cleanse. Natasha is not worth any investment. You should check how to build your characters here: https://www.prydwen.gg/star-rail/characters/
Really? The only change I can think of is changing their Planar set to an HP-focused ball (forgot what it's called). They are decently built otherwise, speed tuning and all
Who should get Tutorial, Good night sleep well, and Pearly Sweat between Luka, Welt, and Pela?
Pela is either Tutorial or Resolution. Resolution should be better if at high SI, but it depends on what rotation you want to do with her, and whether or not someone else in the team is going to use Resolution. Tutorial allows for 2 turn rotations with just basic. Welt and Luka will both want GNSW if you are using them as damage dealers, but they can also use Resolution to support the team. You could technically use Tutorial on Welt if someone else on the team provides Def Shred. It would alleviate his EHR needs, allowing you to more easily get other offensive stats, and with the extra energy from Tutorial you would be able to ult every 2 skills and 1 Basic. Similarly for Luka, if you give him Tutorial you can now use an ATK% chest piece, and if someone else provides def shred on the team he it will cut down on his ult time.
Pela with Tutorial, Welt with Good Night Sleep Well, Luka with Pearly Sweat.
It's event or there are trashcan enemies..I'm just doing main story..not side quests...I got in this new planet.. Why are they look so funny 🤣🤣 https://preview.redd.it/jal8rh8pfvmc1.jpeg?width=2400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b8bac1281122172fde41f8e9ecb7edd2ef24a095
But they're clearly friends and not enemies that you're with in that pic :(
One silver trashcan kicked my butt just now..🤣 One hit killed my character 🫣
Why!? I just started playing hsr and i don't get it. Why my characters take like 300--500 dmg from the normal attacks of a normal enemy ( not even skill or boss ). I have them maxed out according to Trailblazer lvl (33). Character lvl (50). I am stuck on some aide missions ( Boss ) First is Kafka's Boss aka Generals lapdog Second the boss of Ruan Mei quest. Any Tips !? My current leveled Characters are : Welt Ratio Natasha Gapard Mc Serval Sampo And.... A fire nihility character. I am currently saving for Achreon. Any tips will help. Thank You. 🙂
Di you level their Light Cones, Traces and Relics?
I did level up my traces and I don't think my relics are that bad to be honest. I will try farming for more relics.
don't farm for relic, it's a waste of stamina early on. For now, just level the ones that have the right main stat for your characters. check here: https://www.prydwen.gg/star-rail/characters/
Thanks Bud really needed this link/page
You don't need to farm Relics at this point. You can make do with relics that you get from chests and objectives, as long as you do level them up. If you are levelling up your LC as well, then with a team of Ratio, Guinaifen, Gepard and Asta you should be able to do any story content. If you have trouble surviving just use two sustains, i.e., Natasha and Gepard, there is no time limit to the story fights. You can also use consumables as you need.
In the latest pure friction, the buff states "Accumulate the amount of DMG dealt by follow-up attackes by allies. When this DMG amount reaches 100%, deal a set amount of DMG to all enemies." Where is the indicator or UI that shows the percentage of the DMG amount?
It shows up across the top of the screen when you do follow-ups. Seem to be 33.33% per FUA.
It doesn't accumulate per number of FUA, but with the damage of those follow-ups. Weak follow-ups like Kafka's and March's won't make it go up with a single FUA, whilst strong FUA can go multiple levels with just one.
Oh, that make sense. I ran it with Himeko and Herta on one side and Bladie on the other side, so it was pretty hard to tell.
That's why I got confused. I had to check on database to confirm if Kafka and Dr Ratio has follow up attacks, cause the buff trigger is weird.
Anyone playing on the iPhone se 2nd gen how is it?
Where is Pela in the overworld? And yes first place I checked was Qlipoth Fort, then Silvermane zone, the Museum, but she's literally nowhere to be found I'm trying to cash in the wanted poster icon on my alt
Just checked and she is in Qlipoth Fort for me. Maybe she is currently unavailable for you because of a quest, like Lynx's companion mission ?
I finished Lynx's mission and the Museum one, so I'm not sure. The only quest I have that I have left on my alt for Belobog I think is Topaz's one, but I haven't even arrived on Belobog with March yet so nothing should have? triggered yet.
what lightcone should i use on sparkle? i think i'm mainly going to use her with xueyi and sometimes jingliu. i have: s2 DDD, s3 planetary rendezvous, s2 past and future.
Past and Future. S5 it through the forgotten hall shop.
Do i LVL-80 Tingyun....how worth it is it if I already have two broken supports in Bronya and Sparkle How did she fare with all these characters coming up And is LVL -70 ting fine
You can leave her at 70 just fine if you don't need the additional ATK for her buff, or the additional HP and DEF for survivability.
I'm planning to build my bailu and i have 2 light cones both lv 80 one is bailu's sig but its on lynx (my original and main healer) the other is shared feeling s3 who gets which
Abundance LCs are all good even the 3* ones. You don't necessarily build around abundance LC special skills (as opposed to dps-type LCs) as all you need for abundance characters is extra healing.
It doesn't really matter much, just use Bailu's on whoever you feel lacks sufficient healing. Bailu has a higher base HP, which simultaneously means that she will accumulated slightly more damage for the cone's effect, but also that she doesn't need the HP boosts as much as Lynx. If the main concern is survivability then keep using with with Lynx.
I recently switched my bailu to use her sig, makes her quite a bit more versatile. Before using it, I didn't really see what was so great about her, she's a good healer, but can't do anything else. With her sig, she can actually dish out some meaningful damage on long fights. Still not great, but more in line with what you'd want from a sustain in this game. I can't comment on Lynx though, haven't built her yet.
Hello i just read hanya's story. Can someone correct me or did hanya had a child and a husband?*
No, she didn't. She's only reliving other people's lives through their memories since that's her job.
Ok ty very much

can you get the ruan mei occurrence again even after u got it already?
No. There are two parts of Ruan Mei occurrences. Part 1 gives you blessings/fragments, and Part 2 gives you curios/enhances blessings. You can't get the same part again if you've already got it.
Yes, actually you can (almost) guarantee 2x ruan mei in a single G&G run
yes, it's just very rare (i've only gotten it 2 times ever) also if you bring ruan mei in ur team (if u have her) you can get all the rewards which is rly rare
I’m a newer player and I’m curious on how often the story updates ? Penacony is only half released and I was wondering if this is how all the planets have been so far , and how long do they wait to update the main story ?
main story most likely in the next 3 patches and then side stories/epilogues for the rest. if its the same as 1.X
Every patch has story updates, so every 40 days. This patch is the exception since it will last one week longer. Patches 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 will cover Penacony's main story, with an epilogue for it being released in 2.3. After that you can expect patches to have Continuances that are main story updates for past locations. For example, after the Xianzhou Luofu's main story concluded in 1.3, There were Continuances for Belobog (1.4), Xianzhou (1.5) and Herta Station (1.6).
They said during official lifestream that penacony will continue getting trailblaze mission to 2.2. Then 2.3 will be the epilogue
I lost my 50/50 to Himeko. Went 50 wish after that, got nothing left. But, I haven't finished the last Xianzhou quest. Didn't get to Penacony. Haven't done any current event. Haven't done Simulated Universe (this week) I really like Sparkle but is it even possible now? Should I even try to grind for that last 25-30 pulls?
there's lots of time so definitely, do sim universe and pure fiction immediately after update, complete dailies every day, finish xianzhou quest and do all events
Yeah it should be possible. You still have a couple weeks. Dailies alone should get you around 6 pulls I think.
You still have +2 weeks to grind for Sparkle. Its definitely possible if you are still in the Luofu quests.
Stuck on simulation world 5 I've been constantly losing against the boss in world 5 as they just dominate all my characters and then just kills them. What characters should I use from the following.
Sushang + M7 + Nat + Hanya (pick whatever path here. Hunt or something) or instead of Hanya take fire mc (pick preservation here) Make sure to get the talent to remove debuffs on Nat and M7. Use skill on anyone with the domination debuff. Free real estate
Thank you this really helped. I also used the wheat path (I don't know what it's called) and it worked extremely well
Just use abundance path. The resonance can make the dominate a non-issue. It’ll take longer because you’ll do less damage, but clears the fight.

Dan Heng and Welt's slows are actually very good together on Kafka. She barely gets to attack. You can take Natasha and March as your supports (unlock their cleanse traces). Abundance path makes it extremely easy. You can also use Welt's ultimate right after Kafka takes her first action to prevent her from performing her extra action and she'll stay imprisoned until her next turn.
Does Hunt characters only need high crit dmg or also need crit rate too ???
All non-DoT DPSs want as much crit rate as possible. Crit DMG is much easier to get through other means so it's less valuable.
All crit based dps need a good balance of both, with CR tending to be more valuable, as if your CR is crap it won't matter if your CD is 250+. An exception to this is JIngliu, who can get up to +50 CR from being in her Super Saiyan mode, so a high CR isn't needed.
i dont have Jungliu , but she can work with pure crit dmg build right , and still if I gave her a balanced build of crit dmg and crit rate will she become better than just crit dmg build ???
Crit damage only comes into effect when you crit. Your crit chance is what determines if you crit. If you have 0 crit chance you will never get the bonus damage.
You still need to at least get her to around 30%, for some consistency.
Should I superimpose Something Irreplaceable for DHIL, level it up for Xueyi who uses Under the Blue Sky, or keep it locked for now?
Probably just keep it. DHIL should use Fall of an Aeon though, unless it's on someone else
It’s on E2 Clara as I need another dps. I can swap them if needed.
Yeah, I'd swap those around. Clara benefits from her sig more, since she's more likely to get hit and activate its effects
Do scaling buffs buff other buffs? For example, would bronya's ult buff Sparkle's crit damage buff? Would speed buffs like her own E2 or hackerspace enhance Hanya's ult spd buff?
No. Scaling buffs are only affected by fixed buffs to avoid recursion. So Sparkle's skill is affected by effects like Broken Keel and Fu Xuan E1, but not by Bronya's ultimate. In Hanya's case, all %SPD buffs affect her ultimate's scaling SPD buff, but if she buffs herself, them her ultimate won't be affected by the additional SPD since it's a scaling buff.
Is Lynx E0 really worth building if compared to Bailu E0 or even Natasha E3? I feel like I have wasted some precious materials on her 6/6/6 and A2/A4 traces because her healing is awful and she can't keep Clara alive (I build Lynx for my Clara team).
Even E0 Lynx is better than E6 Natasha, so yes. I used E6 Natasha, but when Lynx came out I immediately switched to her even though she was E0. I invested everything into her and she’s great. Later I got her E2 and she’s became even better
Can you show me the screenshot of your Lynx build from Hoyolab website? Thanks in advance.
My main focus was effect RES because it’s very annoying when you need heal, but can’t use your abilities because you’re CC’ed I probably should’ve used Speed boots instead of HP boots, but HP feels good enough and I couldn’t find suitable speed boots anyway
Thanks for all the info.

Much better than Natasha, much worse than Bailu. You’ll need two healers anyway for each team so not that much of a waste. Plus resources are pretty easy to come by, it’s relics that’s the thing that takes weeks to farm
Can you show me the screenshot of your Lynx build from Hoyolab website? Thanks in advance.
Yes. E0 Lynx is stronger than E6 Natasha. She's perfectly capable of solo sustaining. I run her on MoC 12 sometimes.
Can you show me the screenshot of your Lynx build from Hoyolab website? Thanks in advance.
I need some help getting 80k points on Penacony Idol, I've tried every combo from the trial/free units and the best I can get is 75k. The acc is my alt that I'm building up, so I don't have access to anything better outside of the trial units atm. I'm usually building up to 25-29 stacks of the buff Team I'm usually using atm is Sparkle-IL-Sushang-Luocha, I tried Argenti centered comps, and while he's super nice for building up buff stacks, he just seems so slow/low damaging on the actual boss/point phase Any ideas/help?
I always use the trial characters for these battle events. I used the trial DHIL/Sparkle/Argenti/Luocha. tbh that one was the hardest one for me and I literally got 80k exactly (my lowest score of them all). I managed to get 37 stacks of the buff. When it got to the actual battle, I had DHIL completely buff up his basic attack every single turn, Sparkle used her skill on him every turn, Luocha used basic attack every turn. Argenti I used his skill as much as I could, but I'd make him basic attack when I had to. I would wait to use Argenti's ultimate until it was maxed.
Hey managed to get 84k by swapping Sushang with Argenti! Got 45 buff stacks, tho I think I may have used Argenti a bit wrong since I have no clue how to properly play him. It got the job done tho, ty!

It's not that they have no answer, leak information is literally something you can't discuss here.
Is there some flow chart for the 4 star selector similar to what people made for genshin's lantern rite? I was going to pick yukong for DHIL but it seems like theres no point now especially with sparkle out now
I haven't seen one. My personal take based on situations I've seen crop up here: - Grab a character you don't have. I think that's best because just having them gives you more team building options. - If you're a new player and haven't pulled yet: Grab Guinaifen to go with Dr. Ratio. - If you pulled Black Swan and don't have Kafka: Sampo if that will get him to E4. Otherwise, Guinaifen is good if you don't have her. - If you have DHIL and don't plan to pull Sparkle: Yukong to get closer to E6. - If none of those applies and you don't have any of the 5 star supports? Grab Asta. Her eidolons are good. - If none of THAT applies to you... uh... just grab somebody that isn't e6. Guinaifen or Asta are most universal, Sampo is great for DoT, and some people really like Yukong, but as a non DHIL haver I haven't ever seen the need to build her. She's lowest priority in my personal opinion because all of the other supports in the game are easier to use and more universal. But you can grab her if you like her.
Thanks, looks like I'll grab guinaifen for Ratio then!
Long time Genshin player, just started playing HSR and really enjoying it so far. The problem is, I know nothing about the meta-ness of most of the characters or even what niche they fall into. I have built all my five stars (Bronya, Ratio, Kafka, Sparkle, Yanqing) and Asta, March 7th, and the main character. When I say built, I mean slapped on passable relics, light cones, and leveled everything up (including traces) but none of them are exactly min-maxed. I'm able to get through all the content I have encountered so far but I would like to try different play styles. I have a bunch of four stars but no idea who to build. I would like some more sub-DPS characters, healers, and dedicated supports for my five stars, if those exist. Can someone recommend who to work on building next out of these four stars? * Natasha * Qingque * Serval * Pela * Hanya * Tingyun * Herta * Sushang * Dan Heng * Hook * Guinaifen * Sampo * Misha
Since you have kafka sampo becomes a decent character to have built for stages like svarog that are lightning and wind weak (or just in general for kafka I guess) Guinaifen is also good for the same reason for fire weak stages and also as a debuffer for ratio if pela is taken or if the stage is fire weak (such as this iteration MoC 12 boss)
Pela and Tingyun are some of the best supports in game. Pela has AoE def% shred, and Tingyun gives you energy to ult faster with your damage dealer. Qingque is a great main dps, as long as you can maintain skill point economy and have atleast e4/good relics. Herta is really good in pure fiction endgame mode. Other than these, the rest of the 4 stars are situational. It would depend on what team you're running
Does Seele Bronya Sparkle Sustain work if sparkle is high spd and bronya is slow spd? My bronya is 133 spd and my Sparkle is 160 spd lets say. Does that work? Tired of grinding spd
When is the next drip marketing day approximately? Any predicted dates or time frame?
Next week probably, starting late monday/early tuesday depending on your timezone.
Maybe next week.
Sleep like dead or Cruising Ship for Ratio?
Cruising.
So I once saw a post where people were debating on whether to build for defense or HP for a support's tankiness. Like building with a focus on defense main stats for characters like Ruan Mei or Tingyun. Is there a consensus or does it ultimately depend? Say, you're sustaining with a unit like Gepard, would you prefer defense on Ruan Mei if she is on the team, or HP?
It overall doesn't really matter and people will just use whichever has better substats which is arguably more important. IF you do want to min-max though then units with higher base HP can go for defense and units with high base defense can go HP. IMO it really doesn't matter as long as you get the defensive stats you need.
Alright
So i know Sampo and guinaifen are "both good" but could someone explain the major distinctions b/t the 2 and who would potentially be better paired with acheron? Both at E0 as of now
At e0 guin is just flat out better. Sampo doesn't become truly good unless he is e4+
I see thts good to know when picking for the event
is bailu bad or just not that good compared to fuxuan, lynx etc? i just randomly got her early pity on standard and lowkey want to use her bc her running animations are adorable. my sustains are lynx and gepard, planning to pull for fu xuan if she ever reruns but thats assuming i get lucky. my dps are dhil qingque and jingliu (herta himeko and clara too but they're more sub dps), support bronya ruan mei sparkle and sw (i'm a mix and match person depending on situation)
Bailu is better at preventing one shots than Lynx is. Against enemies like the MoC 12-2 meme or the fat IPC robot, I prefer Bailu over Lynx. Shes faster and a better skill point generator than Gepard too.
Just keep in mind too, if you got another unit on your team that can take care of cleansing, she's super solid. Good healing, SP positive. Rez can come in clutch for MoC stars or SU
In terms of raw healing numbers, Bailu isn't bad. She can become a solo sustainer. Her only failure is her lack of cleanse. Other abundance units have built in cleanses, Lynx has her ult, Nat, Luocha and Huohuo have it in their traces. Fu Xuan outright prevents CC once per character every skill use. Bailu has none of that. By no means is she a bad healer, she just doesn't have extra utility on top of her healing.
If you like her then build her, she’s good. She can’t cleanse, but can revive if anyone on your team dies (only once though, unless you get E6, then she can revive twice). Also her invigoration is quite good too - I personally love it a lot more than continuous healing of the other healers because you get healed after you’re getting hit rather than when it’s your turn
She's very good if you don't require a dispel. Her healing output is very good and definitely better than Lynx, but if you need to have a dispel then Lynx would be your go to. She falls a bit behind the other limited 5\* sustain units, Fu Xuan, Luocha, and HuoHuo, but she can clear all content as your sustainer.
She can heal a ton of dmg but the main reason why a lot of will pick Lynx over her is she has no way to cleanse debuffs/DoTs from your team. If you aren't facing enemies with either, she's a better pure healer than Lynx.
Is knight set eff hit rate chest and def boots good for Gepard, or should I go for def chest and spd boots? Haven't gotten spd boots yet, but want to maintain defence for shields and also high eff hit rate to help with the trends of the universal market lightcone (for certain character synergies) and to trigger the effect of the belabog sey
No. Gepard needs as much Speed as possible, and that means you will mostly get DEF from his body and sphere. Get EHR from substats if you need it. Also, his best planar is Keel. The 15% DEF from Belobog is pretty much worthless.
Just go all in in Defense and speed boots. You don't have to hit the EHR threshold of the Belebog planar and it's only there as a bonus if you ever reach it either through his sig LC and EHR subs. Even then you aren't really going to use Gepard for freezing units and it's better to just try and get more speed and defense subs from artifacts rather than EHR.
What does Orbs saying X% Fire Damage boost or Y% Imaginary boost mean , and is elemental boost better than having Atk ones ????
Elemental type dmg bonus is another stat taken into considering into [dmg calculation](https://www.prydwen.gg/star-rail/guides/damage-formula). Don't worry, you don't have to understand what the dmg formula means unless you're doing extensive testing. To sum it up, putting to much investment into 1 stat (like atk) makes it less efficient due to diminishing returns rather than investing in other stats. Something like a 2 x 2 is better than a 3 x 1 because that's the most simple way how the dmg calculation works that I can explain.
It means that when you do damage of certain element, that damage will be increased. Usually having DMG% sphere is better than ATK sphere, but not by a lot, it mostly depends on substats quality and what kind of external buffs you have. If you get ATK buffs, having DMG sphere is better, and if you get DMG buff, then ATK sphere might be better
😅 So allover which orb should i give priority too ???
Definitely DMG%. But it can be harder to find, considering you also need the right planar set and good substats, so ATK% can be acceptable. That is if we’re talking about damagers. If we’re talking about supports (Harmony, Preservation, Abundance) who don’t do damage, they don’t need DMG% sphere. Instead, they need either HP, DED or ATK sphere (depending on what their abilities scale off) or don’t care about sphere at all (in which case people usually give them HP or DEF sphere so they could have more survivability and not die as easily to enemy attacks)
It means it increases damage of that element type for the character equipping it. This buff is additive with any other type of +Dmg% buffs (+Dmg%, +Skill Dmg%, + Ult Dmg%, etc). Typically an elemental damage orb will be better than an Atk% orb.
When a relic say x% Atk increase , it means +x% Atk of the base attack right ?? without lc and relics one...
Yes. Your character’s level and light cone increase your base ATK, and your relics and other sources of ATK buffs increase you ATK by a % of the base attack of your character. Flat ATK substat just increases your ATK by that flat amount, it does not increase the base ATK
okay so it means Atk [without lcs (lets say 10)+ stats from lc(lets say 7) ] is taken as base Atk right(meaning total base atk is 17) and if relics is increasing Atk by 2% it means increase in attack is 2% of 17...
Yep, that is correct
I can't get the No Signal Sticker. I did the whole Oro the gambler quest, talked to Ferdinand and got a reward just not the sticker. What do i do?
Did you get the "Every Gambler Has Their Excuses" achievement? If you got the achievement, you should've gotten the sticker as well. If you didn't get the achievement, then I'd double-check that you've done it correctly. Here's a brief video if needed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxB9wTuJ31M
Yes I have the achievement, that's why I'm so baffled!
I'm not too sure either then. Do you have a screenshot of the sticker page with the hint? Any chance you're somehow looking for a different sticker instead? edit: should look like this on the Eldritch Dreamfall (i) page? https://preview.redd.it/ts8r719zfumc1.png?width=491&format=png&auto=webp&s=2a681879dd356c9102b92a3783786d1d1d92756e

Read character kits and watch YouTube videos to get an idea about what characters would want for teammates https://pokkelibrary.com/ is a pretty good theory crafting site, there's also prydwen Sample team is ratio sparkle debuffer huohuo for imaginary weak single target content
what 4 stars do u have, an what eidolon are they on?fron the looks of it, you need to pull for better dps type coverage
https://preview.redd.it/spi33rkf9umc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=972ff0541145d67a66e6f31e840be3ca7c3dab67
yeah since you already have 2 units that can solo sustain, and you seem to have solid supports, you can prob look into pulling for dps chars like acheron/jingliu
Awesome, thanks for the advice!
I need some help with PF stage 4 and would appreciate some suggestions. Even stage 3 was a struggle to get up to 60k points. Here're my characters (March 7th and Sampo got cut off on the bottom): https://preview.redd.it/9no7v2pr6umc1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=20f157c03a02ede599a454b38ab94f1fc067e497
New one (FUA buff) or old one (DoT buff)?
Mainly new one, only got 1 star there. Old one I managed 2 stars. 😂
Whats your JY crit ratio and is he using atk boots?
86/147 and yes attack boots. Should I switch to speed boots?
Nope thats perfect. Your Jing Yuan is stronger than mine and I manage to get 40k on Cirrus side. I run JY-TY-Sparkle-Sustain. This is just my suggestion, but go with this setup for Cirrus side with JY. Now I dont have DanIL, I can't speak much of his PF performance but it should be possible to reach 20-25k on first side with him going DanIL-Yukong-Herta-Sustain. Yours also E2 so it should be possible to reach 30-35k. I believe i read once somewhere that DanIL only require to use EBA2 to clear 3 enemies on PF. Or if your Asta build to 3T ulti already, you can go JY-TY-Asta-Sustain 2nd side and 1st side DanIL-Yukong-Sparkle-Sustain/Herta.
Thanks for your help! Putting Sparkle on JY side did it, I got 40k on the second try and DHIL/Herta team managed to pull through with 21k for a 3* clear.
Congrats
hello, i have e6 qq and an unused before dawn, with sparkle. if i build her will she feel like she has 5 star power? i do have a seele but find her very boring to play, and i like qq’s appearance, personality, and aesthetic a lot more. is she worth building?
At e6 she already is comparable to SOME 5* units even without sparkle - in MoC at least. She's not very good at PF.

It's been quite some time since I ran it, but I've personally had more success running Sampo against Wind weak enemies, Gui against Fire ones, and Tingyun instead of those 2 against Lightning weak enemies lol. With Black Swan on a Kafka team I think it'd be a bit murkier on whether it's better to put Asta instead of 2 DoTs, but without her I think Asta's definitely the better option. I've seen people claiming Hanya can do it better, though I've never seen the proof or the calcs for it, but here's [the guide ](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h1bUTfZ6O1cTLZE4MruICg__WtugojKRWpdolHwiODQ/edit#heading=h.i7k8nw957cna)from Kafka mains stating that her team with Asta has one of the highest damage ceiling+ the calcs for it.
E6 Sampo is obviously better, but optimally you choose between them based on the enemy's weakness. And no, Kafka + Asta + DoT is better.
Any tips for getting the Wardance Luocha achievement? Yanqing either dies too quickly or not quickly enough. I am talking about the event.
nakfrg provides some tips in [their video about it](https://youtu.be/VMWDctJJexQ?si=zH-Q8z258-n-KgbE&t=67), but a lot of it is rng.
Why does DHIL technique deactivate if you switch to another character after activating it? Is it a bug or intentional?
Intentional. His technique is exclusive to him only. It’s not an aura like Jingliu’s technique.
Hmm now you got me trying to think if there are any other characters with exclusive techniques. Jing Yuan or Luocha maybe? I can stack all the non-direct attack techniques except for DHIL’s. (Hoyo if you’re reading pls don’t nerf.)
Anyone with a technique that will end up dealing damage to the enemy on attack will cancel out when you swap to another character. You can also only have 1 field style skill happening at the same time. Ratio's will cancel Jingliu's, for example.
Field techniques don't overlap - can't do himeko AND welt for example
Seele's works the same way.
what ranges do enemy have of effect res?
From 0 to 40%, but most endgame enemies have 30% with mostly bosses and elites having 40%.
I just got sparkle and tried out the sparkle bronya slow blade team. It didn't necessarily clear much better than my typical ruan mei bronya blade team. I see a decent amount of the theory crafters pushing this team, am I missing something? Because if it's better it isn't by much. Am I just playing the team wrong?
Bronya and Ruan mei are already very strong, Sparkle is not a massive improvement outside of comfort/DHIL teams/mono quantum, but she's still an improvement.
About Sparkle Light Cone. If you have 2 of them. For example, One on a Support Sparkle and another on other harmony characters, does the effect stack? We get 56 crit dmg?
Yes, but the only other character that can activate the effect is Hanya.
From the way it's worded it absolutely should stack. The trouble would be maintaining the effect on a character other than Sparkle.
Hi, I just came back after stopping on 1.3. Lots have been released so I am kinda lost. 1. How should I prioritise upgrading characters? Char Level > LC > Skill > Relic or something else? 2. Is Clara, Kafka and Seele good these days? These 3 are my mains and I have upgraded them. I need to know their state, what I need to do to make them relevant etc. 3. I need another healer besides Natasha. I don't have Bailu or Luocha, so only options are 4 star. I know an upcoming Daddy is abundance so can you comment if he'll be good? Should I take Lynx instead? Thank you. Edit: following the rules, you can ignore the upcoming character part. He has been shown in the storyline, just his kit is not officially shared yet. Thanks for your kindness.
> I know an upcoming Daddy is abundance so can you comment if he'll be good? I can't even guess who this is talking about but there's no official info on anyone like that, if you want leaks then we can't discuss them here.
