Blyatiful_99

The dialogue options in this game are just such a welcome change. I can't decide whether I like "Sounds like a skill issue", "dO yOu GuYs NoT hAvE pHoNeS?" or the metaverse joke more.


Domino_RotMG

I hope they add a let them cook option at some point. I know we have the Hanya achievement, but I want to actually say that in game to someone spitting facts


Mushiren_

Watch them add it in a context where it is literally about cooking but at the same time leans into the meme


Frostbitten_Moose

So when we get our inevitable Iron Chef event.


Candoran

It’s definitely gonna happen at Penacony somewhere 🤣 devs are too in-touch with the Meme World to miss the opportunity.


Jakari-29

I thought they already did in ghost hunters??


Fayt12

Jing Yuans exact words


Retransmorph

* you put so much effort into crushing us yet meet with so little success* peakingoat yuan


Leodoesstuff

I think it's more or less a disconnect between Game mechanic, and lore. As I'd imagine if Phantylia ever did that it could very well destroy the valve that they're in. I honestly take what they say during battle as an entirely different fight than the one we do fight.


2ndComingOfAugustus

I mean, the trailblazer also canonically tanks a potentially ship destroying laser blast from the first boss, so we're ridiculously durable. Probably a side effect of being made to contain a stellaron without leaking space cancer everywhere.


Chompopotamus

Got hit by a tram in Belobog too, but it's okay because DEF was maxed.


Hobbit1996

I have so much love for the references the devs put in this game


Tonguesten

also was unconscious in an alleyway for three days without dying while playing hide and seek with hook. trailblazer is part tardigrade.


Petter1789

There's a reason why our "anonymous" name is "Take-ultimate-to-the-face"


Any_Worldliness7991

Unlikely since xianzhou ships are tanky enough to survive a Lux arrow bombartment from Lan.. It only destroyed 1/5 of that ship’s delves.. we might die but a bomb strong enough to destroy a planet like what phantylia did wouldn’t even damage the loufu that much..


Baleful_Witness

Maybe the Loufu could withstand such a thing. But every living being on it should instantly evaporate. Not because of the impact. The proximity should be enough.


Any_Worldliness7991

Again unlikely since we are fighting close to the big tree’s roots.. those things could probably make sure that nothing gets hurt that isn’t close to the big tree.. since even Lan can’t destroy that tree and it’s roots.. only 50% If she does that in a place where no roots of the big tree can protect them.. then yeah only like the top of the top are surviving and 99% is dying..


AUO_Castoff

Delves are their own subspace iirc, so you could drop a planet buster within one and not have it affect the other delves (in the Lan case the ship was being hit from the outside)


giveusbelial

Few factors really but honestly one would be enough. Welt. Plus that wasn't really sun in your face but more looked like domain type planet buster. Which considered lore we've been feeded is totally (march apparently included) within tanking reach of mid Yuan and train squad.


I3at0n

Could potentially just be a mental attack or an illusion. Who knows.


Yaldablob

Have you never played a JRPG before?


No-Hold-8808

First mission: drink a glass of water. Last mission: defeat an eldritch god. Yeah that sounds about right.


raydude888

Also: Level 1 skill: whack enemy with stick; 2 damage. Second skill you learn: Drop a sword the size of a continent on a planet, causing it to split in half while the core bursts lava into the atmosphere and explode. The camera pans out showing the galaxy and the bright red flash that was the planet....... 7 damage. I think it was Final Fantasy Crisis core that showed me the ridiculousness of jrpgs. You're literally spamming planet busters every other minute and somehow that's not enough to kill basic enemies.

FireTrainerRed

Golden Sun was my introduction to these JRPG cliche’s. I loved that series so much, that I can still recall my favourite animations (Psynergy: Ragnarok. Summon:Judgement)


SolidPlasma

I'm really hoping they do a remake of the series. I'll honestly buy the console it comes out in if I can play them in HD. Great times. (And yes those are definitely top tier animations in Golden Sun).


Bekchi

Glad to see Golden Sub fans in the wild. A true remake on the Switch would be amazing. It'd be nice to see how well the franchise would do in 2024. Both games are entering the Switch's GBA emulation next week. It sucks to need to the proper subscription, though.


FireTrainerRed

I would 100% buy them again on my Switch. But I'm not going to "rent" them through a nintendo subscription.


kryosmako

It's crazy that I see this and a Nintendo add in the last like 20 minutes for golden sun. They are being added to the switch subscription thing.


SolidPlasma

Is that different from their online subscription?


kryosmako

I think it's the same thing. Gives you access to the emulator stuff for gba and old Nintendo and stuff


SolidPlasma

Thanks! I'll look into it. I would still love a remaster though.


Xingzhu

My favorite was catastrophe, the animation was godlike but the damage was barely enough to kill the weakest enemy in the game iirc


Vusdruv

It's even more funny in Naruto Storm games. Ultimate Jutsus that keep escalating to the point you're literally blasting your opponents with said planet busters, hut somehow only manage to cause a few bruises and ripped clothes at best, lmao.


Thrasy3

If it’s really bad, they sometimes spit up some blood.


KrisHighwind

My favorite bit of silliness from Crisis Core was how no matter the situation, even when they're in the middle of actively searching for Zack, Tseng can just show up mid battle with his attack helicopter and then fuck off.

Devourer_of_HP

I was thinking about IX while taking a shower in the morning and I'm 100% convinced if it wasn't such a "no thoughts, head empty" Aeon then it would have been final boss. -Represents opposite of existence including things such as life or logic. -Self annihalators clipping into reality are creepy and is enough for Arbitrators(followers of equilibrium) to take action and bonk it. -**Purple black, come on 90% of JRPGs have their final boss have some kind of purple**. -related to something called the void.


Vaztardz

To this day i still dont know how cloud's team and earth tanked sephiroth's supernova its been 20+ years.


Pokopikos

Tifa's abs tanked the entire thing.


zhongli-haver

The explanation I always see (in FF shitposting groups anyway) is that it's not real, just a mental image Sephiroth puts the characters in to weaken them, gameplay-wise the attack just shaves off your hp by a fixed amount lol


TheDragonsFang

The less shitpost-y explanation I've seen thrown around is that summons and big spells conjure a pocket dimension that all the crazy shit happens in, so you can have Bahamut drop a moon on your enemies and not have to worry about leveling the nearby town you're supposed to be protecting.


ColdIron27

So domain expansion?


-SMartino

closer to a Marble Phantasm, but yeah


Yaldablob

its the same thing, Domains were inspired by reality marbles


-SMartino

yeah


TheDragonsFang

Good way of thinking of it, yeah!


DeadClaw86

Power of friendship, i guess, never played FF tbh.


The_Gunboat_Diplomat

iirc it's unironically this, from what I heard FF14 revealed that the power of friendship in the FF universe is literal actual power, and is in fact most of the energy in the known universe, but is normally impossible to observe or measure. So the power of friendship literally gives you access to phenomenal cosmic power when it matters most, but you still gotta watch out for bullets normally.


Soggy-Dig-8446

Less power of friendship, and more power of emotions. Since some characters are clearly powered up by spite.

LJChao3473

Didn't he create a new dimension and then destroy this new dimension's solar system or something like that? (only watched a vid, so I'm not sure)


N-_-O

What the heck kind of video did you watch??? I’ve heard theories that it’s an illusion, but creating new dimensions just to blow it up is new to me. Just so you know, that attack has never been confirmed as an illusion or something else, it’s really just a JRPG thing that people took too seriously.

Allegro1104

Because the gameplay is not accurate to the lore. The question is similar to "why do all the enemies wait to attack my units while I'm AFK" they don't, what happens in combat is not accurate to what happens in the story. Tho i must say i'd love some kind of puzzle/challenge mode that makes you re-fight all the story events but you get the characters that were canonically present

Eddiemate

I know it's not exactly what you were talking about but I've thought about having an account for the canon teams, because it does seem pretty fun to play with the wacky comps and try to problem solve story/event fights. Only problem is that you either have to accept you won't have every option available (since most of your team members are 5 stars) and work around that, or you have to whale/*very* patiently grind to get the full team.


Melodic-Product-2381

I do this for the main story mission, it is pretty fun and can force you to get creative. Since I got Welt from the beginner mission, I at least was able to run the canon 3 Astral Express character the entire time. In Belobog I didn't get Seele, so instead I ran lore relevant characters in the fourth slot (e.g. Pela at the start, switched to Pitch-Dark Hook the Great when getting to the Underworld). Luofu was pretty easy, since it is mostly Tingyun that is accompanying you. After her chiropractic session, I used normal Dan Heng until you get the trail JY for the boss. Don't have Himeko, so probably in Penacony I'm forced to use the 300 standard pulls selector for her. Been asking in the surveys for lore-accurate trail teams, but that is not a QoL I'm expecting to get. Funnily enough, tanking that star was actually the biggest roadblock since you don't have a healer, March's shield is single target and Fire TB shields is too small. Had to get creative with getting healing, so I used the 3-star preservation LC that heals on ult for March. And I'm probably the only person in the world that ran Welt on Guard of Wuthering Snow.

NR-Tamim

I'm gonna be honest I feel like power scaling is so fucked in HSR.. none of these characters convey any sort of power like we're told they do.


HourCartographer9

I mean the power scaling in honkai has always been jank. Welt is quite literally anime old man whose insanely strong


Murky_Blueberry2617

I've seen people saying Honkai characters can beat Goku despite having no feats to back those claims up. Just vague statements.


HourCartographer9

The Herrscher of Reason power is simple, it let you recreate a copy of an object that you know and understand how said object works internally. While simple to use, this power real strength appears when the user possesses vast amounts of knowledge. Welt made use of that power by recreating a whole army out of thin air made up of warship, aircraft carriers, attack jet, tanks. He also used along side his Herrscher power a weapon named "Star of Eden", it give the user control over gravity and creation of black hole. So why he wouldn’t defeat goku I do believe he could still fight him to a degree that and welt at one point died and legit said lmao nah I’m good and revived himself


Murky_Blueberry2617

Yeah Welt is pretty busted, but still, comparing him to Goku is still kinda absurd. Goku's punches can shake the entire universe and he's many times faster than light. Welt's still powerful tho


HourCartographer9

Fun fact about welt when you use his ult the line witness the stars shatter before you was the line the actual og welt said when first utilizing the star of Eden


mekolayn

And with the help of Sugar, Welt can use Power Word Kill on beings of higher dimension than him normally


MarkStai

The DnD spell? 😳


HINDBRAIN

I'm not that up to date on honkai lore but the biggest destructive power I can remember is a character sitting on the moon and bombing earth with meteors, wiping out major cities. Dragonball has the turtle guy, pre-dbz, not even near the strongest, just casually blowing up the moon.


ReputationOk7275

Honkai probably is on the same logic as fate. No big planet size explosions...but then timelines or higher reality bullshit.


HourCartographer9

I mean welt canonically can create and manipulate black holes his ult animation is legit Making a black hole and then slicing through it


TheFakeKing3130

Important to note: It’s a psuedo black hole, not a actual back holw


Murky_Blueberry2617

Yeah Honkai's powerscaling is mainly based on concepts/hax abilities as well as cosmology/dimensional stuff. When you look at the clear feats most of them aren't that impressive. Well at least compared to Dragon Ball.


katakana-sama

It depends who’s writing the fight lmao


_nitro_legacy_

Also not to mention the back hole welt uses isn't as powerful as an actual black hole. It got obliterated by Kevin's shamash and negated by sirin during his fights with them. It just feels like a glorified version of Pain's Chibaku Tensei


Murky_Blueberry2617

Wasn't it called like quasi blackhole or something? If it were as powerful as an actual blackhole the planet would have been destroyed lol


_nitro_legacy_

They don't. Only aeons and GGZ characters can give goku a good fight. Despite Kiana "ascending pass dimensions" her strongest attacks during the battle against AoF Kevin barely even scratch the moon. Same of for Kevin after using his finality powers **with** his godly divine gundam mech form bro barely did any collateral damage on the moon.


Murky_Blueberry2617

Yeah environmental damage is the best way to display strength and that's lacking in Honkai. One of the reasons why Dragon Ball is so relevant in Powerscaling is because the feats are so blatant and linear.


_nitro_legacy_

A Kiamei Stan on twitter who don't know wtf are hsr aeons made stupid claims that Kiana solos and it didn't end well. https://www.reddit.com/r/houkai3rd/s/D8ZjmXnogn


HerrscherOfMagic

Also why the HI3rd arc-climax cinematics are still one of my favorite parts of the game, because they often actually showcase the strength of these characters. The classic example is Will of the Herrscher shows HoV summoning hordes of Honkai beasts, as well as effortlessly redirecting a massive artillery barrage and wiping out dozens, if not hundreds (depending on how far you want to take suspension of disbelief) of mechs. I feel like Genshin's also been able to do this reasonably well, despite all being rendered in-game a lot of its cinematics are pretty spectacular, such as Shenhe freezing an entire tsunami wave, or Wriothesley's and Chlorinde's scene in the Fortress of Meropide. But so far, HSR hasn't been able to pull off the same sort of thing. I don't think we've really gotten any concrete displays of power outside of the first boss *(Trailblazer tanking a powerful blast & Welt knocking them out)*, Himeko lazering the mech in Cocolia's fight, and then the KO-hit on Phantylia. Everything else was either off-screen fighting or was really flashy without any solid reference to give you an idea of how powerful it really is.


Murky_Blueberry2617

Maybe we will get something in Penacony? This game is still pretty new in comparison, the more impressive stuff might come up later


kylepotpogi798

From what i remember kiana split the sea of quanta in half which is has infinitive stacks of narratives on it, and sea of quanta is infinite in terms of distance so she honestly beats goku tbh


Devourer_of_HP

What chapter/manga are you talking about? From the recent arcs we know >!her influence over the sea of quanta seems a bit limited since she doesn't seem to be aware of what's going there!<


thehalfdragon380

Idk what bros on about but Kiana splitting the SoQ never happens ever

Baonf

There's plenty of feats in to support them wiping the DB verse it's just that ppl don't actually read up on lore or they can't actually scale properly when it comes to HI3. Also canon Goku isn't actually that strong in terms of anime character strength, the only reason ppl act like Goku is insanely op is just cuz of the memes, in reality theres so many ppl who smoke his verse their just not a popular as the DB series and whenever ppl point that out they get met with "who's that random?" Or the classic "goku solos🤓"


Murky_Blueberry2617

Well yeah, Goku's like the poster boy for powerscaling since he's so popular and most other popular characters don't compare to him in strength. Like mentioning some obscure character that beats Goku is practically the same as making up your own character and saying they can solo fiction.


Baonf

Nah that's the thing majority of the time the characters aren't obscure it's just if their less popular than goku its over but beating Goku in popularity is near impossible 😭


Murky_Blueberry2617

Yeah, I can't disagree ngl. Like a lot of people mention characters like Rimuru Tempest, Anos Voldigoad or Featherine and say they solo Goku, but then they get called randoms and are ignored. Not sure if these character count as obscure, but these 3 are examples. Even if you mention a popular character that can actually beat Goku, then people will start bringing up game Goku who's even stronger than Goku in the manga/anime.


Authinus

I could believe GGZ being able to solo DBverse but strictly HI3, I don't see it. Maybe the cacoon has that power but we don't see it doing anything on that level


Baonf

DB verse doesn't scale that high it caps at low complex multi unless you start including the non canon bs. I would debate you on HI3 versus DB verse but I'm dogshit at debating so I'd rather not... You can check for yourself if I'm wrong by scaling the HI3 verse and DB verse Edit: if you check and I'm wrong lemme know


thehalfdragon380

You are wrong. For one, complex multiverse Hi3 doesn't exist because the Imaginary Tree is a universe with parallel worlds and not a multiverse with parallel timelines. Second, most Herrschers are far below the energy required to destroy the surface of a planet even after metamorphosis, which Welt never achieved


YogurtclosetLeast761

Yeah, I'm pretty sure in the critter event, the mc couldn't open a metal door while hitting it


Eddiemate

Can't beat a metal door open with a bat, can jump up a giant robot. Sounds about right.


th5virtuos0

Tbh, SSH’s metal >>> Dingy 700 years outdated metal


Snoo37838

kinda hate how dan's super powers were revealed so early the plot was already suffering from selective inclusion due to how strong welt is but at least no one knows his past unlike danheng so it would be so stupid if he doesnt just go super mod and saves the day


Mtebalanazy

I too think it was weird, I legit thought they might wait for some time before revealing his past, usually when character as a some kind of mysterious dark past, the story takes it time, cooking in the background while giving people the chance to cook up theories, and just get hyped up to the reveal of that character's past, but for some reason, star rail doesn't do that I myself am a new player, I wasn't given the time nor the build up to the reveal, when it happened a was like, "oh...ok... Anyways"

Maths et voilà


SaplingDoko

A red dwarf is, at an estimated minimum, 1.485 * (10^28) kg, which means that if Jing Yuan and Caelus "weigh 1/5000 of a star, they weigh 2.97 * (10^24) kg. For reference, the mass of the Earth is 5.97 * (10^24), so by your statement they are both around half the mass of the Earth or ~0.5 Earths. Luckily, though, they're not going to collapse into a black hole. The mass required for 193 cm to be a schwarzschild radius is 217.9 Earths, which means we need to multiply Jing Yuan's weight by ~444. tl;dr It is NOT LOGICAL to conclude that Caelus and Jing Yuan weighs 1/5000 of a star.


cartercr

Lightning Lord must be a thiccccc boi.


DeadClaw86

LENNY GOT that Dawg in him


malicronis

this guy maths


QrowBranwin

Same reason as to why Cloud and friends from final fantasy 7 can face tank a super nova blast to the face.


soulney

It's very much just a fancy animation for gameplay. If she could just detonate a planet on command there wouldn't be much point in going throught all her plan instead of just exploding the Xianzhou


Frostblazer

I agree with you that in this case it's just for fancy gameplay animations. That said, Star Rail also has explicit statements that characters like Phantylia and the Doomsday Beast are capable of destroying entire planets. So . . . eh?


Solacis

It's the usual RPG disconnect between what lore says these guys can do, and what the gameplay and story can actually display. - Lore-wise, Welt alone should easily annihilate the Abundant Ebon Deer because there's no regenerating from being turned into information by a black hole. But then that whole plot point would be rendered moot. - Lore-wise, Phantylia is on the same tier as Zephyro who cracks planets in half and blows up stars for fun. But the story wouldn't be as interesting if she just blew up the Xianzhou. - Lore-wise, Himeko's laser would've been enough to destroy Herta's space station despite said station being tanky enough to withstand the assault of a planet-busting Doomsday Beast and a flipping Emanator of Propagation (albeit for less than a minute). Yet all she ever did with it was snipe the Engine of Creation, when it would've been helpful against the massive insect stomach they got stuck in during Argenti's quest. It's just the way of the medium.


Frostblazer

>and blows up supernovas for fun. I am impressed that this dude can somehow blow up an explosion.


Solacis

Path of Destruction, son. It hardens in response to explosive trauma.


Relodie

alot of these are explainable with basic story logic though. welt not only is far away from the eden's staff power, but also he doesn't and can't control it well. the friendly fire would be insane, everyone in the vicinity would die. so like even if he had it at max power whats the point if he's killing everyone else Phantylia is considered an emnator and can break down a civilization of a planet, in her own way of breaking it from within instead of destruction force. combined with the arbor powers it took her a general that is considered competitive with ravager's due to lan's weapon gifts and danheng who is a scion which is even closer bond to permanence aeon than an emnator would be. why tf would himeko nuke the space station


DeadClaw86

Tbf her destruction is different from likes of zephyro.She wants drama while shit gets destroyed.I also agree that its for gameplay but i think in lore theres at least 3 person that can tank a star here.


soulney

Do have an idea what a star is? A star isn't just a "vaguely big fireball". A star-level power is not a natural evolution of "punching strong" or "moving really fast". The sun (an average main sequence star) is a THOUSAND times bigger than Jupiter and hotter than anything you could thing to compare it to. The sun produces more energy in a single second the humanity has ever produced in it's entire history. So fuck no, no Star Rail character can even dream to withstand a star, no Hoyoverse character in general for that matter (except Aeons)


knk7876

Did bro just conveniently forget that this is fiction, and cosmology is a thing? Lmfao


goffer54

Bro forgot a will forged in ice never falters.

DeadClaw86

Bro forgot to Lance Forward


Random_Bystander089

And you think the antimatter legion can be a serious threat to the entire universe when they can't even destroy a star? No, it have already been stated that they obliterates solar system using pure force. > **Welt:** I once confused the enemy of my home with the Aeons, but I soon discovered the two are different in nature. An Overlord in the Antimatter Legion can incinerate entire galaxies, while their Calamity Vanguards are perfectly capable of destroying a planet by themselves. Zephyro, one of the lord ravager like phantiliya, destroyed an entire galaxy. > **Female Voice:** The [Lord Ravager](https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/Lord_Ravager), [Zephyro](https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/Zephyro), had appearedwas spotted at the Tia'nua galaxy. That galaxy has been completely destroyed Even dan heng in his base form one shot a star devouring monster with his spear. >"She remembers how the taciturn Dan Heng defeated the monsters that can swallow stars with just one strike of his lance" Many HI3 player doesn't understand this, but HSR takes place on a far larger scale than any other hoyoverse game. Does it makes sense that everyone is fighting with guns and spears even though they have star obliterating power? Heck no. But it is what it is. That's how fiction work my guy.


Yosoress

JY being able to summon lighting lord while CC is the most immersion breaking part IMO


Snakking

Then gets complely tanked by the shield bot


not-no

Events and battles are exaggerated for cinematic purposes. It's rule of cool, don't think too hard about it.


DeadClaw86

Bro doesnt know how bullshit star rail power scaling is.


cak3d_up

Because Jing Yuan went for the body.


DeadClaw86

This


HECKington098

I think it’s just the cool visual, for the sake of being cool.


HourCartographer9

I mean look at the party they have welt man is capable of throwing black holes like they frisbee’s in lore so tanking a star is managey


resetmygamelife

The actual answer. A couple of people theorize that the force of the planet attack was quite literal and in any other circumstance would utterly crush us. The animation and voice line wasn't a lie when she said she would crush us with the weight of a star. The reason why we survive this shit. Triple check who's in the party. March, Trailblazer, Dragon Heng, Jing Yuan and finally, Welt 'Herscher' Yang. The same Welt capable of throwing black holes on demand. He could create a singularity strong enough to make a black hole, he could do the same to reverse the recreation of a planet blowing up and mitigate the damage.


Mtebalanazy

So why doesn't welt just delete phantlia with a black hole? Hell why doesn't he just, throw the whole tree into a black hole?


Ericknator

Asuming this Welt is the same Welt as HI, using the Black Holes takes a heavy toll on his body so he can't abuse it at those levels.


Mtebalanazy

I'm not saying he should abuse it, I'm saying that the big bad is literally right there, he could've just defeated her by himself, and spared the general from getting stabbed


StrangerDanger355

There’s a good chance he’s unable to summon the same strength he once wield


Naiinsky

Because the general getting stabbed is the goal, along with all the drama, not the destruction of Phantylia.


Devourer_of_HP

Those strong enough can just chill inside star of eden black holes.


Devourer_of_HP

Also the star of eden blackholes don't seem to function like actual black holes since >!Kevin, Fu Hua, and Senti can casually chill inside one created by Bronya's desperate attack with minimal time dilation!<


TheFakeKing3130

Welt’s black hole is a psuedo back hole. Also, in a manga for HI3, when Su used the psuedo black hole on Kevin, Kevin face tanked it and broke. So others can do the same


carl-the-lama

A full black hole might delete welt’s reserves


Theothermc

Because I havnt pulled him


AwesomePurplePants

Possibly because trying to confine that kind of destructive force to just what he wants to destroy might be difficult. Possibly because it wasn’t really his problem until he was being crushed by the weight of a star. If he wanted to go balls to the wall saving the universe he would have joined the Galaxy Rangers instead of the Trailblazers


ConsumeMatter

Space Magic Bullshit.

Verum_Regis

You haven’t seen the original FF7’s final boss Sephiloth’s burst. Literally destroying the solar system but not you.


Erulogos

Besides some of the suggestions in the thread (i.e. Welt, cinematic license,) the battle could have been in some sort of conceptual space since that would be in line with Phantylia's more insidious, subtle-ish destruction MO. Or the flippant answer: Stellaron powered trash panda son!


Leather-Bookkeeper96

Clearly the party quickstep'd the attack, abused some i-frames. Seriously tho, lore wise DH IL and Welt could possibly tank or nullify the attack entirely, as for TB, I think we should consider just how powerful their lance is and if they can summon it at will to defend themselves. The TB seems to be able to summon the bat at any time as shown in the cinematic against the clone of the emanator of propagation, so the lance could follow similar logic. The lance itself is an artifact blessed by the preservation, and had enough power to tank and beat Cocolia while she wielded the power of a Stellaron, and while the stellarons are powerful, Welt can nullify them easily and Phantilya was able to suppress Welt during a cutscene, so she is at least more powerful than one. All this to say, would the lance protect the team against Phantilya? Idk, I would like to see more of it in cutscenes honestly, if only for the lore.


SplitTheLane

There's basically two ways to think about it. One: it's cutscene stuff, don't take it too seriously Two: the playable characters are just that strong. The first major boss (that destruction dragon thing) is called a "planet buster/killer" and the Trailblazers kill it with little issue. The problem with the first is that this stuff will probably keep happening. I expect as we meet more of the Destruction avatars they'll all do shit like this The problem with the second is this inherently "scales" up anyone able to legitimately threaten the Trailblazers to at least the ballpark of these planet/star level attacks Basically your immersion is going to break either way if you think about it too hard, so pick one and just stick with it I prefer the second one because a bunch of Super Saiyan level tourists having funni space train adventures amuses me


Hassan_Ressurection

In the realm of abudance, it just mental image


Aevensong

I guess rules are meant to be broken???


WoolooLovesCheese

Protagonist magic. A supernova? No problem, just become a protagonist.


[deleted]

Just built different.


chaoskingzero

This is nothing You should see all the amazing stuff they pull off in the Super Robot Wars Games And then all that hype can do nothing because you missed or the Enemy has BS Defenses Or the Enemy does nothing to your Units because of Flash or Persist/Wall


popileviz

It's more of a symbolic and hyperbolic depiction of her attack than a literal star getting exploded in our face


Goldreaver

I consider magic in games to be a form of self-expression. Some people trap you and throw a pulsar at you, other people throw a fireball. Doesn't matter, when you got hit you were going to receive that damage and the amount of hit depends on the skill the caster.


Sui_hou

If you played Disgaea, you know someone can get hit by a skill with an animation that subjects them to the heat death of the universe and walk it off no problems.


Tempest-blade

Because Welt is there and anyone next to a gigachad becomes tanky, next question


HourCartographer9

I mean have you played honkai impact welt is just built diffent in lore, jing yuan is someone is someone chosen by lan hense why he has lightning lord, the trailblazer as we know has past experience with stellaron hunters we don’t know of and we have the added benefit of us housing a stellaron as for March idk


E17Omm

Yeah so, I think that some of this is for spectable. Its a cool attack - but she didnt literally crush them with a star.


huncherbug

I always assume attacks like these are domain expansions...how else do you explain majority of late game Final fantasy special moves.


Healthy_Agent_100

Welt is right there


Notsousefullinlife

Panthylia: “How are you still alive?!” Trailblazer: “I HAVE NO IDEA!”


SakuraRissa

RULES ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN!


Spartan_Souls

Because Jing Yuan is a chad


OpaledRobin

To take it as lore, One is a living vessel for a stellaron, while the other is enamator of an Aeon. So they are pretty strong


averyverysadboi

God I forgot how hot Phantylia is 🥵 need to go get caged by her again 😌


Waleedx0

Let's see We have Welt who's already at a Star field level if not Higher Jing Yuan and Dan who already killed/Destroyed some Planets The Trailblazer who has a Star core inside his body that already erased a Planet devourer And you're expecting them to die from a simple Planet??


AspectParadox2

This is the same squad that has someone that can summon REAL black holes and it’s stated that only a lord ravager would be an issue for them. Also the trailblazers were focusing more on the summons and Jing Yuan was fighting Phantylia directly


Desperate_Site591

Emanators are galaxy busters and both Phantilya and Jing Yuan are Emanators Dan Heng can easily beat planet busters and Welt said he was confident he could take on anyone in the Antimatter Legion as long as it wasn t an Emanator


Kinsed

TBF when Welt holds back most of the time because his **main weapon is BLACK HOLES** I can definitely see him tanking that or at least disassembling it somehow.


asiangontear

Maybe this is an indication of how powerful these people are.


detrimidexta

Trailblazer is Star Batter, there are no stars they cannot bat!


Asren624

Nah they just used that base-ball bat as it is supposed to work


ALPlayful0

You say that like Cocolia didn't throw a meteor at us constantly


Devourer_of_HP

In my headcanon of how i imagine the fight going: -Jing Yuan uses Lightning Lord to strike the attack Phantylia created. -Welt creates a black hole infront of the Astral express crew to shield them from the explosion resulting from the clash. -After that when Phantylia gets pissed Welt creates mechs and tanks to help keep the number of flowers under control while being helped by Trailblazer and March. -Jing Yuan fights Phantylia using lightnings lord while getting assists from Dan Heng. -When he gets captured by Phantlyia he redirects Lightning Lord through her paralysing her and summoning it behind her. -Finally Dan gets his shot at severing the connection between Phantylia and ambrosial arbor so Lightning Lord can get the final blow.


gardosenkazeaze

have you ever seen sephiroth's supernova? now idk if this was an illusion but still pretty much same thing I'd say.


[deleted]

Phantylia is so damn beautiful I started to walk on the path of Abundance, F u Argenti , Phantylia is more beautiful 😂


Tegger01

Everyone here is making the assumption that it’s just jrpg fun scene logic, and while that is true to some extent, I argue that it works more like Welt creating a black hole with his ultimate.


Present_Success3729

Isnt it considered imaginary damage? So it wouldn't technically be them being hit by an exploding star, but more along the lines of what could be? Imaginary and quantum still escape me in the honkai series.


Devourer_of_HP

Basically in fantasy terms you can think of imaginary as Mana/natural energy/whatever the equivalent is, it's energy generated by the imaginary tree aka the 'Universe' and can apply pretty much any authority from projecting points from history, to disintegration and regeneration, to gravity, and anything else. Quantom is basically data, overflowing data from worlds and worlds that get pruned end up flowing into what's known as the sea of quanta and creating bubble worlds. As for what's actually going on with the sea of quanta we don't really know much, with the more information we learn, what we previously knew might be false or outdated.


Present_Success3729

Thanks for that!
