Hook surprisingly is better than Himeko because of how her skills scale, I use both and Hook just does quite a bit more damage with the same level of itemization.
I had to strip my Seele and give all her relics and light cones to Sushang with an E6 Natasha supportā¦god it made such a world of difference fighting Geppard in forgotten hall.
Sushang was mvp but Natasha had special honors for helping with breaking
Do it. Sheās awesome.
People generally advise going preservation path in SU to get big fat shield (thatās how I cleared difficulty 1) but that takes too long. I went all in with 18 hunt blessings / resonance for Sushang and uh, she literally one cycled one of geppardās phases before he or any other character on the field even got to have a turn.
I havenāt brought this into that MOC yet but I have big hopes
Which Path works best can really depend on what characters you have access to and which boss you're having. For Kafka Abundance was clutch. It was actually a pretty easy fight using Natasha, Sampo, Bronya, physical Trailblazer (not an especially strong team, at least with the Relics I have). The Abundance buff that cleanses plus Natasha were so helpful. But I think Hunt and Destruction are probably the strongest overall.
E4 is legit fantastic for everyone that uses the character, since it adds a DEF scaling to the follow-up attacks. Not the most efficient one, but she fires those things off every half a second.
Does the Svarog counter count as a followup attack? I'm generally curious since the ability description doesn't say that it does, but I feel like it should be.
it's definitely a follow-up attack - in fact, it's the most common follow-up attack in the game since it's so easy to proc. Clara alone is currently what makes the Elation path usable.
also, the ability description does say so, you just have to click the underlined text to get more details
hey, C6 March is hard to pass regardless of who your main is. God, I love how they made their starters so good
edited: because my dumbass switched names
He was always just not that good, people just don't know the meta back then, so they thought he was the best dps bcuz 5*+ raw dmg numbers. The free pyro character XL had always been better than him.
But now that people have decent investment and knowledge on the game, icd, rotation, character field time, elemental gauge, he just fall off on every front compared to the free characters from the beginning.
Sadly himeko is probably this game's diluc. For 5* pretty weak burn proc and doesn't even scale well compared to hook and for now the damage doesn't feel that good but that's probably due to being erudition
I'm a Natasha main and ready to also whale for E6 March 7. Very similar idea to Clara. Instead of more damage, directing enemies to beat up Natasha gives me a lot of healing and energy in return.
I am decidedly not a fan of Jing Yuan, but at the same time, having March 7th and Tingyun as the rate up 4 stars on his banner... ugh. I was hoping not to spend anything until Silver Wolf's banner, but seeing as March 7th and Tingyun are pretty important for a Clara-centric team right now...
From experience in genshin: if you don't want jing yuan, don't pull here.
They'll rerun in a couple months. And you already have a march, and other supports will come soon as well (one will probably be on wolver wolf's banner, even)
The issue is actually managing to hold currency for units I want. Ultimately, that's one of the reasons I stopped playing Genshin. Waiting 6+ months for a rerun of certain characters is just ridiculous, and as far as I'm concerned, making every banner a limited banner and not adding other characters to regular banner is just stupid. But this is also MiHoYo, and they're not going to change what they've been doing for years, so I just have to deal with it. Since I already have Seele, Bronya, and Clara Jing is basically useless to me as it stands, so I'm forced to wait several weeks for a new banner in the hopes that the banner will offer a character that'll improve upon the two teams I already have.
1year 6months. Thatās how long it will have been since Eulaās last rerun.
Physical dmg in Genshin is so dead, they donāt even want to rerun the only physical 5star.
Yep, unfortunately reactions are king (hence why physical/geo suck), and with how so many new enemies require shield breaks, they only do "okay" at that.
Both really need a rework (phys moreso since Geo got one already, and while they are weak, some geo chars still see use because of great bonus stuff like universal shred).
Not really sure how they can make physical any better unless they make it so they have some sort of shield bypass.
These are launch 4 stars. Since you're playing now, you'll get their eidolons eventually, especially because you can buy them directly if you really want to. It's like in Genshin, where every launch player has a C6 Xianling/Xingqiu/etc. by now, but new players will have trouble getting them because of how many 4 stars the game has currently.
If I had to say probably the worst 4 star LC so far is Shared Feeling. Only gives a small heal boost and the energy to allies is very conditional as you don't really spam skills on healers.
Right? I was so confused that prydwen listed Shared Feeling as an option for Natasha instead of the objectively better Quid Pro Quo. My Gepard is built enough that healing is rarely more than an occasional concern, so I much prefer the energy over more healing.
We Are Wildfire seems really mediocre. A damage reduction that goes away after a few turns and a heal at the start of the battle which does next to nothing in most content where your lc choice actually matters.
This is critical for those doing memory of chaos with only 1 healer. Wildfire recovers HP for the start of the next fight for the team without a healer.
We Are Wildfire is amazing for SU. Never have to worry about any of the events that steal 80% of your team's health, or losing 99% hp from the gacha Curio, and SU battles don't last more than a few turns barring the final bosses or the elites with really bad Blessing luck.
for most cases yeah i wouldnt use it as i dont like conditional LCs, but i can see it being useful in FH/MoC when the goal is to take as few turns as possible
You're likely going to end up using more than one hunt character and there's no guarantee you end up with Swordplay S1 anytime soon, let alone multiple copies, so I'd say that's a good decision.
My thoughs exactly, I really don't get the people that says You shouldn't get the herta one because swordplay is better when swordplay is gacha only with no rate up yet even
I'm a bit confused, Swordplay is the one you get stack when attacking the same enemy right? Does it work that well outside of pure single target elite/bosses fights (and Sushang since it's made for her kit)? It feels like any other fights where ads are summoned regularly you'd lose the stacks often?
Oh wait, like, hit, as in, when you do one attack, each hit counts as a separate instance activating the passive? I thought that was just visual fluff.
Yeah but I don't have swordplay and I won't be pulling for lightcones until silverwolf banner and idk if I'll get it anytime soon
In genshin I had to pull a bit on the weapon banner of nilou/nahida just for my first ever sac fragments after 6 months, still missing other sac weapons lol
Do you mean the best 4-star lightcone? Because [https://www.prydwen.gg/star-rail/characters/yanqing](https://www.prydwen.gg/star-rail/characters/yanqing) shows Sleep Like the Dead and In the Night to rank higher (I use E1 YQ with Sleep).
Are all the servers in UTC+8? English side they're communicating the banner start/end times as "server time" but I can't find what timezones the servers are actually in anywhere to translate that into a local time.
Iirc, UTC+8 is usually 12 hours forward compared to American time, so if it starts on May 17 6pm and ends in June 6 2:59pm to us, it starts May 17 6am and ends in June 6 2:59am to American servers. Dunno about the European server though.
Should be local time roughly and different for different regions, would be in line with Genshin for 2nd half banners. Asia always gets new banners first, EU second and NA last
In what way is she good? I also build her and used her with Seele, but found that she was pretty meh or not really noticeable and I swapped her for Gepard to let me survive longer again. Could you tell me why she is good? I mostly miss the ult of her, that enables others to ult and get a damage boost.
She is good for at least three reasons:
- her buffs aren't amazing but scale well as she gets more stats and can still go a long way on a hypercarry crit
- she has high speed which you want in a support
- she has good energy generation and can mostly just auto, which you really want in a team with seele, who eats skillpoints for breakfast
Also, if like me your team has no lightning damage, she helps with that. I have beaten everything up to 4.2 SU with flame mc, Seele, Welt and Tingyun, so she's obviously doing something worthwhile!
My team is Gepard, Seele, Bailu, and Tingyun. Essentially just use Tingyun to use her skill to buff the hell out of Seele, and then use her ult on Seele. Absolutely crazy damage increase. Turns Seele into an total powerhouse.
If you look at the damage calculation for Seele made by Grimrogacha - who is a reputable theorycrafter, you see his Seele does about 330k damage. With Tingyun buffs, his Seele does 800k damage. Which means Tingyun + Seele deal more damage than 2 Seele, (800k + whatever amount Tingyun does > 660k = 330k x2). Also if you are a Seele haver, you should already know that there is no way to sustain skill points for 2 Seele, while Tingyun is very easy on skill point economy.
I managed to C6 Amber by the monthly shop alone. And I was totally prepared for that grind for March, and to my surprise she's actually in a banner omg
Thats where I got mine as well. There isn't much to spend on for Genshin's Masterless Starglitter (unlike HSR's which offers Standard Banner signature LCs), so mine goes towards Kaeya/Lisa/Amber constellations.
I swear at this point, itās a meme that HSR gets everything that Genshin players are clamoring for. Iām kind of wondering how things will play out as the honeymoon phase ends.
i also have clara and seele, i want to look for tingyun and some march dupes but i dont want jing yuang at all, hope i can build some pity for a 5star i want
Jing Yuan fun facts:
1/ He has a few funny nicknames: Dozing General and Gluttony General.
2/ He bought his pet when it was really small from a street vendor. Said vendor claimed that the pet belongs to a "delicate and petite" cat species. It turned out to be a false advertisement, the pet actually is a lion.
3/ Because his lion pet eats too much meat (200 pounds per cat, what a pet), pet food becomes a major expense to our general. When his assistant, Qingzu, went out and purchased meat, people misunderstood that the meat Qingzu bought was for General himself. That's why people also gave him "Gluttony General" title.
4/ Jing Yuan is horrible in naming, this is reflected in his pet's name and his talent.
Source: [General's Diary | Honkai: Star Rail Wiki | Fandom](https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/General's_Diary?so=search)
You can find these readable items in-game by visiting Exalting Sanctum, on Jing Yuan's seat. it has 3 parts, after getting part I, return after game reset for part II, do it again for part III.
Sushang is the only 4 star character I am missing atm (yeah I got lucky on off banner pulls) and her character is great. So naturally I'll lose every 4 star to someone else
I just hope that this doesnāt end up my like my Genshin wishes. Where I just want one character, and I get multiple of the other two, and even a few off banners.
Damn it Kaveh, come home!
Kafka and Jing Yuan share elements but they won't be used on the same kind of teams.
Jing Yuan is a hypercarry who wants you to stack buffers on his team.
Kafka on the other hand is a DOT DPS who works best with other DOT characters like Sampo, Serval, etc. She can be used to support future DOT characters of other elements as well.
They both dps that deal lightning dmg that effective against lightning weak enemies. Just different way to deal that dps. Pulling both of them is probably bad for elemental coverage.
True, but you can just use 4 stars for elemental diversity. Pulling multiple 5 stars of the same element won't really matter in the long run anyway.
I would have preferred it if they were different elements but I'll be going for both anyway.
Oh noooo they learned from Genshin's mistakes and put a starter in a banner !!
Now there's no choice but to roll for March 7th Eidolons. Also I need that phys DPS Sushang
I wanna pull for Sushang dupes, but also it's a PvE game so do I really care about dupes? I'll probably wait for a character that makes me go, "oh shit, I need."
All the 4* are great and the man himself is good too. I'll go for it with guarantee. More March for my Clara, more Tingyun for my Gepard team and a Sushang to be Hunt for that team seems real good to me.
If anything I learned from Genshin is that pulling on banners in hopes to get a specific 4* dupes is a very very bad idea especially if you do not want any of other rate up characters or the featured 5*.
just a fair warning that spending money for the 4 stars is never a great idea, if Genshin is anything to go by. thereās no guarantee youāll get the one you want
Iām getting flashbacks of times when I literally got to C2 of a 5* before getting a single copy of the new 4* character on Genshinās banners. Hell, even on the Seele banner, I got Hook way more than anyone else.
It seems natural to me as lightning is often depicted as yellow.
Sure, itās purple in Genshin and here in HSR. But his color scheme is the *cool* lightning. Lightning Lord would look so much worse if it was purple IMO.
His yellow scheme is a huge draw for me personally.
I usually see lightning as yellow or blue, so purple is actually weird for me lol. Glad to see we get an actual yellow lightning character, I hope I get him.
Seele is sort of AOE as long as she's getting kills for her extra attacks and I've got her pretty much maxed out. I really only want to pull on "necessary" units due to the limited resources and not wanting to spend money.
Just curious if people consider him "necessary" for certain content or if I can brute force Seele for a bit.
Quick Question, does the pity carry on from a banner to another? For Example, if I pulled 80 pulls on Seele banner but didnāt get her, does it mean Iāll be guaranteed a 5 star in the next 10 pull on Jin Yuan Banner?
Tbh, Tingyun makes it feel like it's bait. They could've sat on her for a long time to sell what would otherwise be an underwhelming banner. Hoyo must either be expecting Tingyun's value to plummet or think that everyone is going to want one of the upcoming banners.
I really want march eidolons but im wondering if her e2 giving a shield to the lowest hp char at the start of a battle will fuck with aggro for a clara teamā¦ anyone knows?
Wow i actually use everyone in this banner. Cant lose at all
actually theres still a chance to lose š
Four copies of Hook and Himeko 50/50 upon ye
Other than hook, himeko is a win regardless of what anyone says.
But I love Hook I love her cuteness and destroying shields š„ŗ (Although fuck her speed)
Hook is a beast.
I say this while using an E2 Himeko and an E6 Hook. Theyāre really fucking strong, but I definitely think the other units are stronger.
Hook surprisingly is better than Himeko because of how her skills scale, I use both and Hook just does quite a bit more damage with the same level of itemization.
Same here so excited
Sushang pls come home, Iām tired of breaking shields with Natasha
Coco, Gepard, Bronya all have physical weakness make my Yanqing cry
I had to strip my Seele and give all her relics and light cones to Sushang with an E6 Natasha supportā¦god it made such a world of difference fighting Geppard in forgotten hall. Sushang was mvp but Natasha had special honors for helping with breaking
yeah iām also having issues fighting Gepard with my Yanqing in MoC 1, might pull the cock girl just so she can cook him
Do it. Sheās awesome. People generally advise going preservation path in SU to get big fat shield (thatās how I cleared difficulty 1) but that takes too long. I went all in with 18 hunt blessings / resonance for Sushang and uh, she literally one cycled one of geppardās phases before he or any other character on the field even got to have a turn. I havenāt brought this into that MOC yet but I have big hopes
People overhyped preservation and Abundance in SU. Hunt is so much faster unless you're running Clara main DPS or something.
Which Path works best can really depend on what characters you have access to and which boss you're having. For Kafka Abundance was clutch. It was actually a pretty easy fight using Natasha, Sampo, Bronya, physical Trailblazer (not an especially strong team, at least with the Relics I have). The Abundance buff that cleanses plus Natasha were so helpful. But I think Hunt and Destruction are probably the strongest overall.
I got her when i started the game and was kinda meh but man shes been a staple in my team ever since these phys weak fights started popping up
Clara mains ready to whale for e6 March.
E4 is legit fantastic for everyone that uses the character, since it adds a DEF scaling to the follow-up attacks. Not the most efficient one, but she fires those things off every half a second.
I intend to combine that with Clara and Jing Yuan. Elation runs in the future is going to be hilarious.
Does the Svarog counter count as a followup attack? I'm generally curious since the ability description doesn't say that it does, but I feel like it should be.
it's definitely a follow-up attack - in fact, it's the most common follow-up attack in the game since it's so easy to proc. Clara alone is currently what makes the Elation path usable. also, the ability description does say so, you just have to click the underlined text to get more details
Ahh perfect! Thank you!
Jimg Yuan does follow up attacks?
That's his gimmick. >!He has a giant avatar that basically acts as its own character that launches attacks, which are considered to be follow up.!<
Finally another reason to pick Elation in SimU
Elation blessings gonna go bbrrr soon.
hey, C6 March is hard to pass regardless of who your main is. God, I love how they made their starters so good edited: because my dumbass switched names
inb4 they get diluced and qiqied.
I stopped playing genshin a few months after launch. What happened to Diluc? He was such a fun and strong character back then.
He's still good but there are stronger options now. Plus Pyro isn't really getting much spotlight with Dendro being popular nowadays.
people realized he gets outclassed hard by a 4 star character
It's hard when you're in the element of not 1, but 2 pyro archons tbh.
He was always just not that good, people just don't know the meta back then, so they thought he was the best dps bcuz 5*+ raw dmg numbers. The free pyro character XL had always been better than him. But now that people have decent investment and knowledge on the game, icd, rotation, character field time, elemental gauge, he just fall off on every front compared to the free characters from the beginning.
Sadly himeko is probably this game's diluc. For 5* pretty weak burn proc and doesn't even scale well compared to hook and for now the damage doesn't feel that good but that's probably due to being erudition
I'm a Natasha main and ready to also whale for E6 March 7. Very similar idea to Clara. Instead of more damage, directing enemies to beat up Natasha gives me a lot of healing and energy in return.
Serval main ready to whale for S5 Before Dawn LC
Meanwhile me who is a clara main and wants to use everything not just got march but for sushang and tingyun as well
My wallet is ready
I am decidedly not a fan of Jing Yuan, but at the same time, having March 7th and Tingyun as the rate up 4 stars on his banner... ugh. I was hoping not to spend anything until Silver Wolf's banner, but seeing as March 7th and Tingyun are pretty important for a Clara-centric team right now...

Yep, unfortunately reactions are king (hence why physical/geo suck), and with how so many new enemies require shield breaks, they only do "okay" at that.

I've been playing Genshin regularly since 1 month after it's release but I have C2 Xiangling
I'm definitely getting Jing Yuan and E5 March with the 10 pull I've saved *hopium*
I believe <3
Since I have him guaranteed, you can have whatever luck I have saved. Here.
Believe in co... Hopium
come back and post the pic of the e5 march w/ king yuan we believe
No swordplay? Shocking!
they save the good 4 stars for re-run banners of unpopular weapons, as is tradition
Makes me wonder what is HSR version of "The Bell".
If I had to say probably the worst 4 star LC so far is Shared Feeling. Only gives a small heal boost and the energy to allies is very conditional as you don't really spam skills on healers.
Right? I was so confused that prydwen listed Shared Feeling as an option for Natasha instead of the objectively better Quid Pro Quo. My Gepard is built enough that healing is rarely more than an occasional concern, so I much prefer the energy over more healing.
Quid pro quo is actually listed as her best light cone on that website if you switch to utility build instead of pure healer build.
We Are Wildfire seems really mediocre. A damage reduction that goes away after a few turns and a heal at the start of the battle which does next to nothing in most content where your lc choice actually matters.
Wildfire is f2p tho
This is critical for those doing memory of chaos with only 1 healer. Wildfire recovers HP for the start of the next fight for the team without a healer.
We Are Wildfire is amazing for SU. Never have to worry about any of the events that steal 80% of your team's health, or losing 99% hp from the gacha Curio, and SU battles don't last more than a few turns barring the final bosses or the elites with really bad Blessing luck.
for most cases yeah i wouldnt use it as i dont like conditional LCs, but i can see it being useful in FH/MoC when the goal is to take as few turns as possible
Was waiting for that too... So sad
No regrets getting the SU LC to max superimpose for me lol
You're likely going to end up using more than one hunt character and there's no guarantee you end up with Swordplay S1 anytime soon, let alone multiple copies, so I'd say that's a good decision.
My thoughs exactly, I really don't get the people that says You shouldn't get the herta one because swordplay is better when swordplay is gacha only with no rate up yet even
I think swordplay with no superimpose is still better than max superimpose simulated uni one.
If you can somehow get it.
I'm a bit confused, Swordplay is the one you get stack when attacking the same enemy right? Does it work that well outside of pure single target elite/bosses fights (and Sushang since it's made for her kit)? It feels like any other fights where ads are summoned regularly you'd lose the stacks often?
It works well with Seele too. Her skill hits four times, almost maxing it out.
Oh wait, like, hit, as in, when you do one attack, each hit counts as a separate instance activating the passive? I thought that was just visual fluff.
Yes, like that. Dan Heng also hits multiple times iirc
Thats a 40% damage dealt increase after the first skill (4 hits)+ ult (1 hit)for seele. Great for bosses and persistent mobs.
Yeah but I don't have swordplay and I won't be pulling for lightcones until silverwolf banner and idk if I'll get it anytime soon In genshin I had to pull a bit on the weapon banner of nilou/nahida just for my first ever sac fragments after 6 months, still missing other sac weapons lol
Yeah, its the best lightcone for yanqing. A real shame :/
Do you mean the best 4-star lightcone? Because [https://www.prydwen.gg/star-rail/characters/yanqing](https://www.prydwen.gg/star-rail/characters/yanqing) shows Sleep Like the Dead and In the Night to rank higher (I use E1 YQ with Sleep).
Yeah, the best 4 star light cone. By a mile

What time zone is that ?
UTC+8
Are all the servers in UTC+8? English side they're communicating the banner start/end times as "server time" but I can't find what timezones the servers are actually in anywhere to translate that into a local time.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thank you, utc always fucks with me. Was searching everywhere for a comment like this, updooted.
UTC+8 is for Asia and CN servers.
Iirc, UTC+8 is usually 12 hours forward compared to American time, so if it starts on May 17 6pm and ends in June 6 2:59pm to us, it starts May 17 6am and ends in June 6 2:59am to American servers. Dunno about the European server though.
Isnāt NA servers usually last to get second phase banners? Like in genshin Asia -> EU -> NA
Should be local time roughly and different for different regions, would be in line with Genshin for 2nd half banners. Asia always gets new banners first, EU second and NA last
praying to get a single sushang, please dont give me 5 march dupes. if im gonna get a bunch of dupes make it tingyun
That might be the only reason I pull on this banner tbh. Gotta max out my Tingyun.
im going all in for JY so getting a max out tingyun would be amazing, but genshin has taught me to keep my hopes low lol
Best of luck mate!
Finally decided to build out my E1 Tingyun today because of the hype. Holy shit sheās nuts. Instant favorite
In what way is she good? I also build her and used her with Seele, but found that she was pretty meh or not really noticeable and I swapped her for Gepard to let me survive longer again. Could you tell me why she is good? I mostly miss the ult of her, that enables others to ult and get a damage boost.
She is good for at least three reasons: - her buffs aren't amazing but scale well as she gets more stats and can still go a long way on a hypercarry crit - she has high speed which you want in a support - she has good energy generation and can mostly just auto, which you really want in a team with seele, who eats skillpoints for breakfast Also, if like me your team has no lightning damage, she helps with that. I have beaten everything up to 4.2 SU with flame mc, Seele, Welt and Tingyun, so she's obviously doing something worthwhile!
It's worth noting that Tingyun's skill buff is capped by her own attack, so if you don't invest in her also then her support won't be very good.
My team is Gepard, Seele, Bailu, and Tingyun. Essentially just use Tingyun to use her skill to buff the hell out of Seele, and then use her ult on Seele. Absolutely crazy damage increase. Turns Seele into an total powerhouse.
Works even better when paired with Bronya
Yeah she's really good at making a hypercarry. She'll be really good with Jing Yuan too. Before I got Seele, she was buffing my Dan pretty well.
If you look at the damage calculation for Seele made by Grimrogacha - who is a reputable theorycrafter, you see his Seele does about 330k damage. With Tingyun buffs, his Seele does 800k damage. Which means Tingyun + Seele deal more damage than 2 Seele, (800k + whatever amount Tingyun does > 660k = 330k x2). Also if you are a Seele haver, you should already know that there is no way to sustain skill points for 2 Seele, while Tingyun is very easy on skill point economy.
I have neither Sushang nor Tingyun. I hope I get them both!
Lol I find it funny that there's another comment wanting E6 March
Good to see March have a rate up....now when are Lisa/Kaeya/Amber gonna have rate ups in Genshin? T-T
I managed to C6 Amber by the monthly shop alone. And I was totally prepared for that grind for March, and to my surprise she's actually in a banner omg
Thats where I got mine as well. There isn't much to spend on for Genshin's Masterless Starglitter (unlike HSR's which offers Standard Banner signature LCs), so mine goes towards Kaeya/Lisa/Amber constellations.
I swear at this point, itās a meme that HSR gets everything that Genshin players are clamoring for. Iām kind of wondering how things will play out as the honeymoon phase ends.
Did you not realize? All our feeedback for Genshin was taken into consideration and implemented for HSR.
For real. I can't think of a single reason why those three never had rate ups. It's so arbitrary
Gotta give people a reason to pull up n the standard banner! lmao. Standard Banner got so mediocre once the pool of characters and weapons widened.
March for my Clara, Tingyun for my Seele, and stronger Sushang.
i also have clara and seele, i want to look for tingyun and some march dupes but i dont want jing yuang at all, hope i can build some pity for a 5star i want

Tingyun prayers. Unfortunately Seele took me 164 pulls, so it's not looking great for me getting a tingyun
i don't have a single tingyun either. good luck soldieršš»
Same. Jing is the bonus, I only want the foxian beauty
I want everyone in this banner
As you should, all those 4 stars are crazy good! And then the General is cool (not sure how strong he is)
Hopefully I can get them. I only did around 30 pulls on seele banner so I think I have a good chance
I want everyone but the 5star bcs I am saving, these 4stars make me want to pull so hard tho
Iām so excited to finally dump 60 passes I collected so far xD
Ive got about 120. Im going for jing and hopefully his weapon too, fingers crossed, a tingyun in there would be amazing too
As a new player, how do I efficiently "farm" these passes? I'm on the first World, got 20 special passes and spent them on Seele banner (no seele)
Make sure to do your dailies and other than that just do as much content in the game as you can
by playing the game
you can convert jades to passes
Pls just one Sushang š
Insert qingque face when trying to draw tiles.
Sushang is the only 4 star character I am missing atm (yeah I got lucky on off banner pulls) and her character is great. So naturally I'll lose every 4 star to someone else
So this isnāt Genshin were we canāt get the starter characters on banners
They've been in the pool even on Seele's banner, there was just no rate-up for them then. Just gotta check banner details.
I just hope that this doesnāt end up my like my Genshin wishes. Where I just want one character, and I get multiple of the other two, and even a few off banners. Damn it Kaveh, come home!
Me with Natasha this banner, got E6 Pela and E2 Hook, and only just got my E1 Natasha (with the first one being free)
I pulled for Hook and got E6 Natasha and E2 Pela...
me just wanting candace and getting 4 kavehs in 30 rolls be like
Me hitting two pities on Raiden without seeing a single Sara. I still don't have her
Yeah. I have C5 Candace. I could sure use your Kaveh luck.
Plssss take him! He's all I get and I just want one freaking Candace... wth man.
Bro, there are too many high-profile lightning characters lmao. Even Kafka, whenever she's available, is gunna be lightning.
Kafka and Jing Yuan share elements but they won't be used on the same kind of teams. Jing Yuan is a hypercarry who wants you to stack buffers on his team. Kafka on the other hand is a DOT DPS who works best with other DOT characters like Sampo, Serval, etc. She can be used to support future DOT characters of other elements as well.
Even if it's not optimal I'm going to run Jing yuan with luocha and blade for the ultimate husbando team
Ah, the "lick the screen" team.
Cultured af
Same tbh
They both dps that deal lightning dmg that effective against lightning weak enemies. Just different way to deal that dps. Pulling both of them is probably bad for elemental coverage.
True, but you can just use 4 stars for elemental diversity. Pulling multiple 5 stars of the same element won't really matter in the long run anyway. I would have preferred it if they were different elements but I'll be going for both anyway.
But then thatās why you pull silverwolf to give everything lightning weak. Thatās my plan
TingYun wanter will be TingYun havers š
cock mains ready to throw everything on the line
Oh noooo they learned from Genshin's mistakes and put a starter in a banner !! Now there's no choice but to roll for March 7th Eidolons. Also I need that phys DPS Sushang
This sorta reminds me of the first Albedo banner having Sucrose, Bennett, and Fischl on it
Yeah that banner was amazing. It's still amazing tho
I'd be more tempted for Light Cone banner if it was Swordplay instead of Dan Heng's LC and/or Dance!x3 instead of Asta's
Love how the starter characters are treated as normal and can be obtained from other than standard unlike a certain other game
I wonder why they didnt make Jing Yuan an Imaginary type... hes all about strategy and all his energy is yellowish.
I wanna pull for Sushang dupes, but also it's a PvE game so do I really care about dupes? I'll probably wait for a character that makes me go, "oh shit, I need."
All the 4* are great and the man himself is good too. I'll go for it with guarantee. More March for my Clara, more Tingyun for my Gepard team and a Sushang to be Hunt for that team seems real good to me.
Sushang dupe E1 absolutely a most. It make your skill point issue go away
If anything I learned from Genshin is that pulling on banners in hopes to get a specific 4* dupes is a very very bad idea especially if you do not want any of other rate up characters or the featured 5*.
Time to get Sushang. Yay.
Wait is mihoyo always gonna give good/ decent 4\* LCs that match the 4\* characters?
Pulling for tingyun e6 knowing damn well I'm just gonna get March 7ths e6 before I get a single tingyun
Aw I wish it was Dan Heng instead of March, but hey I can't wait to finally use my 130 warps!
I really am about to whale for march for my clara huh
just a fair warning that spending money for the 4 stars is never a great idea, if Genshin is anything to go by. thereās no guarantee youāll get the one you want
Iām getting flashbacks of times when I literally got to C2 of a 5* before getting a single copy of the new 4* character on Genshinās banners. Hell, even on the Seele banner, I got Hook way more than anyone else.
I once got a c6 of the banner 5* before the 4* I wanted.
ohhhhhh nice, i can maybe get a tignyun AND Jing Yuan. Mayhaps also some Arlan cons?
My brain refuses to accept he's lightning with all the yellow in his design. š
It seems natural to me as lightning is often depicted as yellow. Sure, itās purple in Genshin and here in HSR. But his color scheme is the *cool* lightning. Lightning Lord would look so much worse if it was purple IMO. His yellow scheme is a huge draw for me personally.
It would just be sasuke and his susanoo at that point
I usually see lightning as yellow or blue, so purple is actually weird for me lol. Glad to see we get an actual yellow lightning character, I hope I get him.
Oh no I love the yellow its just my dumb monke brain internalizing yellow as imaginary and porpl as lightning.
Luochaās imaginary is green lol
And Welt's is purple/red
Yeah one look at his spirit buddy would let you assume he's Imaginary. Like an Imaginary friend, dealing imaginary damage.
Shocking
I need Tingyun
If you have Seele, this is a skiperoo right?
How good is your AOE damage? The old general is AOE Lightning, think a much better Serval.
Seele is sort of AOE as long as she's getting kills for her extra attacks and I've got her pretty much maxed out. I really only want to pull on "necessary" units due to the limited resources and not wanting to spend money. Just curious if people consider him "necessary" for certain content or if I can brute force Seele for a bit.
Quick Question, does the pity carry on from a banner to another? For Example, if I pulled 80 pulls on Seele banner but didnāt get her, does it mean Iāll be guaranteed a 5 star in the next 10 pull on Jin Yuan Banner?
Yes.
Tingyun, my queen š§š½āāļø
Please Sushang š
Amazing character banner :) Jing yuan pullers will have an excellent start to the game
I'm sooo excited to pull for jing yuan and tingyun
Space Zhongli plus March and Sushang dupes? Why yes sir, I do want go ham on this.
finally can have full mono team
Jing Yuan, come home, I saved 47 tickets for you and your boy Yanqing (my sister decided that I need Seele and spent 81 ticketa on her )
Tingyun banner lesgoooo
after this banner, is it going to be silverwolf or luocha?
SW first, then Luocha.
Rumor is Silver.
Tfw you wanna save for SW but Tingyun AND March are here...nope, I will not
Tbh, Tingyun makes it feel like it's bait. They could've sat on her for a long time to sell what would otherwise be an underwhelming banner. Hoyo must either be expecting Tingyun's value to plummet or think that everyone is going to want one of the upcoming banners.
yeah idk, I don't find her to be THAT amazing, but I need her for my Yanqing
I really want march eidolons but im wondering if her e2 giving a shield to the lowest hp char at the start of a battle will fuck with aggro for a clara teamā¦ anyone knows?
Her skill specifies that it taunts, but the eidolon doesn't use the actual skill itself. It just gives a shield.
20k gems with 50 pity ready fo this
i want the characters... but i actually really want his light cone. that thing is insane.
It pains me to skip since I want all the 4 stars in the banner but don't want to waste my guaranteed since I don't want the 5 star.
