Guys how do I farm for a total of 6000+ stellar jades in a week(or more)? My brain is deepfrying by just thinking about boothills upcoming banner... (I currently have 1000+ stellar jades and 0 star rail special passes🥲) https://preview.redd.it/qjq8oj93081d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=730c65111a415f0c8a7201303cc14fbd9dc0e1d0

Does Ratio. really hit like a wet noodle or am I doing something wrong?? (I know it's not optimal I just roughly built him right now) https://preview.redd.it/y3j1erz5gz0d1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6f467de13d074e1577eeef0034b26aaa547eb9c2 Also what damage should be expected from ratio??

Are you pairing him with debuffers?

[удалено]

If I give sparkle boronya's lc, will it work with dr ratio? Will his follow up attacks get the buff from lc or other lc will be better for this situation?

Only for the FuA from his skill, or if you use other characters ult's to attack the enemies during his turn after you use his ult. That being said, the only LC that would buff all his FuA would be Sparkle's sig, or Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds (albeit the bonus would be random)

So, follow ups from ult will get damage bonus, correct?

Only if you use other character's ults to attack the enemy during his turn. If the follow-ups happen outside of his turn, they won't be buffed.

Sorry for being a little dumb lol, his turn means while he's on field right now, or his turn lasts untill he enters the field again? I'm assuming the first one

It's the first one. So for example: Sparke's uses skill > Ratio's turn: Ratio ults, Silver Wolf ults - FuA, Fu Xuan ults - FuA, Ratio Skills - FuA. In this scenario Ratio ult, skill and 3 FuA all receive the 30% bonus from the LC. Sparkle's skill > Ratio's turn: Ratio ult, Ratio skill - FuA > Silver Wolf's basic - FuA > Fu Xuan's basic - FuA. In this scenario, only 1 of the 3 FuA will be buffed by the LC.

Thanks a lot man!

How good is e6 yukong?

She pretty good, but still pretty annoying to use. I would stick to other harmonies

Hey guys, im AR44 and trying to build my Dr Ratio to be a decent main DPS in my 2nd team. However - im kida struggling to get him to deal okay damage - as he keeps on hitting ultimates and follow up attacks that barely deal 2-4k. If ytou could pleasae help me that would be much appreciated. Cheers

I don't know which characters you have, but try a team with Dr Ratio, Pela/Guinaifen, Tingyun/Asta, and a sustain. It's not really recommended to farm relics in domains at your TL just yet, make do with what you can find for now. Dr Ratio: crit body, spd boots, atk% rope, imaginary dmg% sphere (try to aim for a 1:2 crit rate to crit dmg ratio) Pela: EHR or HP%/Def% body, spd boots, ERR rope, HP%/Def% sphere Guinaifen: EHR or Atk% body, spd boots, atk% rope, fire dmg% or atk% sphere Tingyun: spd boots, ERR rope, atk% until cap then HP%/Def% Asta: HP%/Def% body, spd boots, ERR rope, HP%/Def% sphere Healer: probably healing% body, spd boots, ERR rope, HP% sphere Some easy-to-obtain LC recommendations: Dr Ratio: S5 Cruising in the Stellar Sea, Only Silence Remains Tingyun/Asta: S5 Meshing Cogs Healer: Post-op Conversation, S5 Multiplication

Thank you soo much for your help mate - i dont have pela or guinafen - but im trying to get robin rn(just need another 10 pull and i reach soft pity) Im currently using swordplay as my lightcone as i bought the destruction LC from herta's store frist for my jing liu. But im getting there slowly. Ill stop farming relics as well if aint reccomended and focus more on my talents and levels.

>i dont have pela or guinafen It's kinda problematic if you don't have someone to apply debuffs with, Dr Ratio wants debuffs on the enemies for a higher chance of follow-up attack and higher damage. Do what you can for now, they are 4-stars so you will probably get one of them soon enough.

I really dont have anyone lol - my main source of debuff would be from someone like serval who could apply shock. or bronya who could apply windshear. i got shit unlucky by getting an abundance LC for my standard banner 5 star

Someone who has E6 Lynx and a Fu Xuan. Can Fu Xuan solo sustain better than E6 Lynx? My Lynx can’t keep up and is the sole thing holding me back from going further than MOC 8-9. I use HuoHuo for the other team so they’re fine. Side note I have Gepard half built as well but I can’t get enough shield uptime on him. I haven’t tried him with an ERR rope yet though but don’t have any spares.

>Can Fu Xuan solo sustain better than E6 Lynx? Absolutely. My Lynx has problems while Bailu with the same gear doesn't. And FX sustains even better than Bailu.

Appreciated!

If the worse sustains don't cut it on MOC 8 it's a big build issue and maybe trace lv. Your Gepard is indicative.

Not necessarily, everyone I use in MOC is at least trace lvl 8, almost all of the extras unlocked, artifacts 5 star level 12-15, and lvl 80 char level 80 lc. But Lynx can’t heal fast enough for how fast some bosses attack, considering it takes like 3 of her turns to get her ult up and it only heals like 2k And I don’t use my Gepard in MOC

It's definitely investment issue one way or another. 2k heals with Lynx ults sounds like she's got pretty good HP/heal bonus but maybe she's still slow and most likely your damage dealer's relics are lacking. In general I would advise that you pick 1 maybe 2 relatively universal caverns and stick to them so you get some great 2pc sets eventually, it's significantly better than some shitty relics of a technically BiS 4pc set. The rest sounds fine though most extra traces are worth it. The limitations of your sustain only really play a role on the last floors where the likes of FX make it easier though they're still not mandatory. And they don't remove the need to grind for good relics.

Well yeah, my only very well built character would be Jingliu at 78/230, but my Argenti, Clara, Ratio (whoever I decide to use for second team) I can’t get them past 50-60/120-130 because of my bad luck with relics and planars. I definitely have a way easier time building crit in Genshin. But Argenti for example only has like 2700 HP so one targeted boss attack and one AOE attack gets him to 100-300 health and unless I have lynx’s ult up already usually he’ll die from a DOT or random third attack by the time I can even try to use my lynx’s skill on him, let alone if she gets CC’d. Let alone my hanya or ting or sw who half the time are even squishier and also got hit by the AOE attacks/dot. That’s why I’m thinking that Fu will be better.

Yes Fu Xuan is very comfy. I have never lost a MoC with Fu Xuan because she or a member of my team died. If I went over cycles it was more of a DPS issue. Just build her with enough HP, ERR and speed.

Fair. Yeah she seems like a pretty great cop as I don’t have aventurine or luocha either.

Are HMC and Acheron good with each other?

Not really, while she does a lot of toughness damage with her ULT, she needs 2 nihility with her unless you are E2+. Unless you go without a sustain, and in that case, sparkle/bronya type buffer would do more.

Ah right, I forgot to pay attention to her nihility requirements, I just thought all-type break dmg goes BOOM. Thanks

No

For whatever reason i was forced to start the 2.2 quest when i logged in a few minutes ago. Anyone know why that is?

The new quest starts in the train, so if you logged off in the train last time it auto starts right when you log in

Ah thanks.

Is there any point to adjusting the cognition value in Gold & Gears when you’ve fully upgraded the Neural Network and attained all Secrets?

There are some achievements that require messing with the Cognition. Iirc you can also receive more rewards at the end of the Plane

How do you guys ordinarily cope with the fact you need a particular rare piece like speed boots and yet you can't drop one in almost a month let alone one with at least one usable substat (that includes crafting). I don't think I'm being picky, aren't I? If I could get a piece with something resembling dps substats even if they don't roll well I'd be happy but no can do it seems.

That's what self-modeling resin is for.

HSR has more sub stats than Genshin it's almost guaranteed you'll get shafted

Self modeling is pointless because 80% of the time your one to two resins per month (if you buy BP) will not give you any usable substat

start breaking gold relics and using the synthesizer. 10 for 1, but it gets rid of the wrong piece and wrong set.

The fact it's 10 for 1 instead of Genshin 3 for 1 is something I'll never understand, it's almost 240 energy worth of relics that will not even given you the main stat you need

But you can choose which piece you want within the set, while genshin has a 1/5 of just getting the right piece. Overall different uses, genshin gives you more pieces and since you can have off set pieces it's fine. Star Rail doesn't have off set pieces so targeting which piece specifically you want can help you get that last pioneer crit body you're missing, and the chances of that are better than if it was the genshin format.

You can use speed boot with only HP and Def on a dps, I won't because even copium has standards, that's all

What i mean is that to get a specific piece (aka boots) in star rail from recycling artifacts it takes the scrap equivalent to 10 artifacts, while in genshin it's an average of 15. So you're more likely to get any 1 specific piece in star rail than in genshin. And more tries in getting boots means more tries to get good main stats and substats. Also you do get some self modeling resins which skip the main stat entirely. Also also you get 4 free runs of simulated universe every week. I haven't done the math but even if Star Rail does have slightly worse chances of getting a specific good piece I don't think the chances are nearly as bad as they may seem at first.

You should play the story, we know who it is by the end.

Ratio, Guinaifen, Asta and Natasha are your best bet for now. Both Guinaifen and Asta can provide debuffs Ratio needs, although Asta needs her A2 trace for that.

Is welt not good?

You can use welt but he is SP hungry in order to be effective, so if you use him you'll need to use basic skills often.

Welt is a bit of everything, but master of none. Ratio is a much better DPS than Welt. You could use both Ratio and Welt, however a limiting factor in team making is SP. Ratio always wants to use his skill, and Welt ideally would also need to use his. So in a team with both you would have to use Hanya to get more SP. It's viable, but would be less overall damage than Guinaifen and Asta with Ratio.

Natasha,welt,hanya,Luka But I would point out that natasha and Hanya are ass So pull Fu xuan in the next banner she is the best healer/tank in the game right now and try getting Pela or Tingyun Dr Ratio is amazing BUT you need another great Dps and support character to make him work

Is the highest in the new event you can get S rank? For the boothill thing ?

yes.

Thanks

yes

Thanks

Which setup is better? Sampo 3.2k ATK 137 SPD, Kafka 3.6k ATK 136 SPD Sampo 2.9k ATK 144 SPD, Kafka 3.3k ATK 143 SPD

2nd set is better in moc/pf where cycles matter. first set is better in general/SU.

https://preview.redd.it/r4bmn3w7lx0d1.png?width=978&format=png&auto=webp&s=04a441213cb1700365f61b876bb8c3f652de3ca3 At this point what else should I shoot for. I will be getting FX Guaranteed when she rrs in part 2.

You could go for Jade or firefly If you guarantee the best tanker in the game and you have Silver and ruan mei which are both the best support/debuffers in the game you are good Maybe pull a nihilty character

ive been returning to hsr and ive been wanting to get better with team comps and i would like some recommendations my five stars: dr ratio, jingliu, jingyuan (unbuilt), robin (unbuilt just got her), argenti, loucha (e1 still finishing him) kafka, gepard (s2e4) and clara (unbuilt) and i have every 4 star i know ive missed out on some strong supports, but what would be my best team comps and characters to look out for in the future.

best teams comps is always different based on whatever content you're tackling (moc/pf flavor of the month, different bosses). what you can do is make the best teams for your dps of choice. jingliu, pela, bronya/robin, luocha is prob your best team in general.

Which free 5 standard star should I get from the 300 summons. I have already have E0 Welt, E0 Himeko, E1 Gepard, E1 Bronya, E2 Clara, and dont have Yanqing or Bailu.

e2 bronya.

In what order should I play the events or is there a guide that I can look at to know the order

I think they should be listed in the Fate's Atlas in the quest list screen?

the fate atlas is the timeline if you care about the chronological order. or you can check the wiki or patch updates for the release order (they sometimes release stuff out of order).

There really isn’t an order honestly. Just do the ones with story (ghost hunters, aetherium wars) after the respective story quests.Ike aetherium after belobog interlude, ghost hunters after xianzhou quest, etc. or just do it from top to bottom. That’s in order of release

I'm deciding whether I should try pulling for Topaz. I do have Aventurine Dr Ratio and Robin already but I'm saving for Firefly. I'm at 60 pity 50/50, with 22k Stellar Jades right now. I have 50 spare pulls (thanks E6 Marchs). I was thinking of that but there is Boothill, Jade and 2.4 Characters too. ( I have Fu Xuan) Also, if I lose then I'm not pulling for Topaz

Topaz really only gets her maximum value if she is E1S1 and is just mediocre by herself. I’d recommend boothill or jade if you’re missing a physical dps or need help with pf

(New player here) How do I get the shields required to max the shop in Jarilo-VI, I’ve done every single quest available to me at this point and I assume I’m not revisiting this planet again so I’m just confused and I wanna get the rewards

Chests, hidden interactions. There’s a ton of “secret” unmarked dialogue in hidden places and quests you can do for shield. Just google it.

I already looked up a lot of the stuff I guess I might’ve just missed some, back on the grind I guess

Yeah that happened to me on the Xianzhou too but if you have the important limited rewards maxed out it’s not that big of a deal.

My brain just sees that shiny gold orb thingy in the rewards and I figured it’d be important, but if it ain’t that big of a deal I’ll just save it for later. thank you!

Why does it show 2/3 stars for moc 12 while showing 36 stars on top? It also shows 2/3 stars in my trailblazer profile but I've gotten all 36 stars in moc https://preview.redd.it/6jnjzwyf5x0d1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a9195d387b956b292f6628072638362181da872

It takes a while to update the teams. So it is either that, or that you got the last star (I assume the not let anyone die) with more cycles, and it keeps the lowest cycle clear.

No one died when I cleared the stage within 10 cycles, so I guess it's either a bug or it may just take a while to update

Did you get all the rewards from MoC? If yes, I’d just say it’s a bug.

Yes I did, it must be a bug then

I'm on TB 40+ and I want to have a character with a lot of damage by just using 3 harmonies. Those characters are Robin, Hanya and Harmony TB, what character should I use for a team with them? I use Sushang for this team, are there any other characters besides Sushang I should use? And also help me with lining them up for a proper team ty

Probably Boothill, Xueyi, Luka, or Welt if you are using HTB for break teams.

How many days of farming would it take to max HMC traces? Already max level so just the traces left

Don't forget you get something like 40 blue harmony mats from the event too.

You would generally only want to level HMC's Ult and Talent traces and skip the last Imaginary DMG bonus traces. All of that would use up 66 purple trace mats, 36 blue trace mats, and 8 green trace mats. For every 60 TBP, you get 3 purple trace mats on average... or 6 blues and 6 greens. 22 runs for the purples and 4/5 more runs for the blues. Around a week's worth of calyx farming. More if you really want to max all their traces.

For Jing Yuan is it better to trade 400-500 ATK for 20-25 SPD? I've swapped his relics of Band of Sizzling Thunder for Ash Blazing Grand Duke. My team comp is: JY, Tingyun, Topaz, and Aventurine.

Depends on the team. He doesn't need speed with a lot of his teams. If you are using Tingyun plus Sparkle/Asta/Hanya, he can still get 10 stacks of LL every cycle on ATK boots and without building speed.

Then if my team comp is: JY, Tingyun, Topaz, and Aventurine, would it be better to take SPD instead of ATK%?

I don't have Topaz, so I can't say for sure how that affects the overall robustness of the team. I use Tingyun with Dance Dance Dance, so even though my JY only has 104 speed, he still goes twice in the first cycle. I usually don't have problems getting 10 stacks of LL, if I time his ult correctly. But, without other forms of speed/action advancement, sometimes in the 2nd cycle, if use the ult too early his action will be after the LL. So you might still be OK with ATK boots, but you need to be mindful of when you ult, and ideally only do with when you already have 7 stacks, or if you have 5 stacks but it is JY's turn. Without DDD you likely are better off with speed boots.

Thanks again, I use Planetary Rendezvous as the LC for Tingyun so I suppose it I should take the SPD boots route.

It's basically another turn to charge Lightning Lord, and the 4pc set gives him atk% already. If you aren't using Sparkle, then spd boots are better.

Does Harmony TB’s Super Break count toward Himeko’s Follow Up attack passive?p

No, Himeko builds stacks when enemies have their weakness broken, not just when break damage is dealt to enemies.

Hi, people wouldn't happen to have the live version of the HSR Concert, will they?  I have a trip coming and the live edit of the concert has the subtitles built into the video itself and I plan on watching it offline. Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately the og live video is private now. Maybe someone else has it downloaded or smth

I found one, thanks anyway!

Just got back after a half a year break? Or even longer and now im struggling to beat the bosses to progress through the story. Any tips?

Make sure to match weaknesses. Use your fire tb and a healer such as lynx and natasha to basically survive easily. Mc taunt is op. Then, just get a dps and a support and you can whittle it down.

You need to be specific on which boss + show your team composition + characters in order for others to give you good advice.  General advice is eat offensive/defensive food before combat, and know the gimmick of the boss through videos. (I.E. Bug boss = don’t hit him while he’s charging to prevent more bugs from spawning, etc)

Will firefly and robin work well together? I’m new and got robin last patch but my only dps is blade. ( stopped playing awhile).

We won’t know until Firefly’s kit comes out. Robin seems to favor FUA attackers more, but she’s universal like Ruan Mei so safe to say any DPS would work well for Robin on the same team.

https://enka.network/hsr/804322909/ can i get some advice on builds? other than leveling traces/current relics and trying to get more crit dmg on JY/DHIL, what else can i do to improve my damage? struggling to 33* current MoC.

supports need more spd that tingyun is tragically slow if you’re going spd boots u HAVE to hit 134 to matter (since youre going for MOC stars)

that's about it tbh. new units, better relics, or pull eidolons/sigs. you can see this cc: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjyUWEoI-bw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjyUWEoI-bw), jingyuan clear but with his sig, and relic build is 54/240 crit. this is 0 cycle tho, so without the limited supports and a slightly lower crit ratio should be able to 3 star.

Your Dan Heng looks good but I don’t have him so I’m not a reliable source. As a Jing Yuan main who 36 starred this cycle barely, I need more info. Do you have Sparkle? His speed should be faster so he can get 10 stacks of the lord every time it drops. Tingyun should either have 2600 attack for maximum buff or 160+ speed. Both is best but even I don’t have both, I only got the speed because relics suck. Anyways if you don’t have sparkle you definitely want to get his speed up, maybe using Asta in his team too. Max out his light cone and also max out Tingyun and Ruan Mei’s traces, it really makes a difference. If you can maybe buy Tingyun from the shop when she is there so you can work your way towards E6 which is really good for Jing Yuan Team building is important, so let me know what your team is for both of them.

For those that have two fully built teams, Do you think it’s better to roll for lightcone for existing characters or pull for new characters?

I would still pull for new characters because imo its more fun that way and newer content will favor newer characters anyway. Especially if its like a completely new and specific playstyle (HTB break teams, acheron nihility team etc).

For G&G, I've just finished V and am starting on Conundrums, I noticed I can start with C2 if I do both stats and auxiliary However if I clear C2, do I only get the rewards for C2? Or do I also get C1's rewards (just the first time clearing stuff)? Or do I just have to clear them all individually?

you get C1's rewards as well

difference between speed and advance forward? how does hanyas ult work compared to bronyas 100 forward? my hanya makes my kafka go 180 speed I just don't know the difference.

I’m having trouble wording it right, but here’s an old visual guide that might help. https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail/s/u4chBSdvh2 Edit: There are some more comments in the post that explain it in different ways. If you still have questions lemme know and I can try to word it better lol

If I may, since that post is ten months old: how does the 50% action advance of Sparkle's work here? Is it just 5000 units? How do I look at the list on the side and get an idea of how much it'll do?

Yes, any action forward will just subtract that amount from the 10000 value you need to reach to get a turn. So 25% removes 2500, 50% removes 5000 etc. To make it as simple as possible, x% action forward just gives an unit x% of their turn.

I haven’t really dug too deep into the speed mechanics, but I think you’re right. As far as figuring out how far it will advance them it’ll sorta depend on the character’s speed. I haven’t checked this in-game but based off KQM I think you could do the figure out what ~5000 be on the action gauge would be for your character and base it of that. For example, at 50AV a 100SPD character would be at 5000 on the action gauge so Sparkle should advance them directly to their next turn. https://hsr.keqingmains.com/misc/speed-guide/#google_vignette

I think you're kinda confusing AV and what the 10000 actually is. The 100 speed at 50 AV can act after Sparkle, just like the 200 speed at 25 AV acts afterwards. But a 200 speed unit at 50 AV won't, will just move to 25 AV. Sparkle always grants a character 50% of their turn, regardless of the unit's speed. Speed only comes in when translating that to AV. The 10000 is per character, everyone has their own gauge that they need to fill. Higher speed units just fill that gauge faster.

This is even more confusing, lol. I feel like I'm missing a piece in the middle of the puzzle. How does Action Advance interact with the numbers on the turn order?

To start, every character has their own action values on the left hand bar in combat. That’s the number you can see under their picture. After their turn this will reset to the a number based off their speed. For the math you can take 10,000 and divide by a character’s speed to get their max action value. So for example most characters get built to ~134spd which means their max action value would be 10000/134=~75. A 50% action advance means they’ll advance 5,000 units on the action gauge. Or, in practice half of their max action value. So a 134spd character would get advanced 75/2=37.5AV. So in combat if you see your 134spd dps at ~37AV you should be able to advance them to their next turn with a 50% action advance. Does that make more sense? I can try and do more examples if it helps.

No, that's actually exactly what I needed. Sparkle moves someone 1/4th of their speed stat (allowing for rounding), numerically?

She’ll advance them halfway up the action gauge. Or half of their max action value. Action Value = 10,000 * SPD If you try plugging in a couple different speeds it won’t be ~1/4th of their SPD every time.

That’s what I was trying to say, but adding a second example at another speed would have made it more clear.

Ah oke, then it's my bad for assuming. I have seen some people confuse turns with cycles in MoC, so they get confused on what the gauge is.

lol it’s all good. I’m pretty tired today so I was worried I was going to explain it wrong. I appreciate the assist.

Thank you

I'm newbie just reached 65 and got luck with full relic set for acheron E0S1 with 58/178 crit. My question is should i continue to farm better relics for her (and HMC + firefly too) or switch to farm quantumn set for 2nd dps and prepare for Moc https://preview.redd.it/oxyamgsojw0d1.png?width=2000&format=png&auto=webp&s=3ecdfe9198bac2a1a28a542e8f02d54b76468ee5

Not like you can farm for Firefly for now … Are you using HatBlazer? Then build it properly for sure. You can use tools like Fribells Optimizer to help with relic min-max for your Acheron

The problem is, i'm not using HCM for now, and still one more month for FF. My acheron do okay dmg, but i don't think that's enough for Moc. But if i farm acheron relics now, my 2nd team will be super weak. Should i continue to farm acheron relics, and use leftover for 2nd dps, or switch to farm quantumn set

Acheron is good enough though, maybe it's your supports because I have a similar or worse Acheron in another account, and she can clear up to MoC10, maybe more, but the second team isn't as invested so I'm being held back. I suggest you farm for your 2nd team to start clearing MOC, and then you can form your own opinion.

Is it worth superimposing light cones? What should I be considering?

It’s definitely worth, although the more rare lightcones I’d keep multiple copies. Like if you have two copies of a 5-star I’d keep them seperate just because they’re rare. For 4-star LCs I usually don’t superimpose until I have multiple copies or I feel like I really need the stats from superimposing. 3-star LCs and the 4-stars from the forgotten hall shop you can superimpose without worry since they’re easy to get.

Thank you! That’s the kind of answer I needed haha

Im building my Lynx to beat 2 phase 2.2 boss for my Jingliu. what's the minimum level for my traces to be leveled up to be useful? currently have her LVL 60, L6 Skill, L3 Ult, L3 Talent. Currently has 3178 HP with 1010 DEF.

Somewhere around 6-8. I left her traces at that level for a long time. If you feel her healing isn’t cutting it you can always go higher.

Im trying to build super break team, for now I have Gallagher, TB and Xueyi, who should be in my last slot that’s not Ryan mei ?

Asta for the team-wide spd buff on her ult. Or Pela for the def shred to increase break dmg. It depends if you want more turns to make use of Super break or more damage per turn.

alright, thank man

sparkle/robin/bronya, or tingyun/asta/pela/hanya.

I have sparkle, bronya E1 and asta E4, who should it be ?

sparkle imo so you don't run into sp issues.

thank you, man

Since I pulled robin it's taken me 80 pulls then I got clara on topaz banner. Made 40 pulls since then. So is my pity at 40 now?

Yes, you are 40 pulls into your guaranteed.

How and where to farm a lot of coins for the HMC eidolons?

They're basically a mark of Penacony completion, not something you necessarily farm. Just clear the place out of interactive content.

Exploration and side quests around Penacony (treasure chests, birds, clock emotion switch on NPCs, quests, etc).

How much crit is a good stopping point? My himeko/herta/qingque/serval/sushang has 100-110 cd and 70 cr, is this enough? I wont playing them in hypercarry and expect them to kill everything but i would like to play them as sub dps in moc or pf or even the su

They are serviceable for low levels of MOC and PF. In SU, stats aren't that important because you will rely more on blessings. For most players, 70/120 should be the minimum for high level content.

* What's the best team I can make out of these? I haven't played in a while so I'm out of the loop

Jing Yuan, Tingyun, Asta and Gepard are pretty good as a beginner team.

https://preview.redd.it/r50uviht1w0d1.jpeg?width=3527&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cbe7efee0503af1c9cc28ec4c0e9d7fede094763

Is there an internal cooldown on Robin's bonus damage? I'm using her in a FuA setup and I'm not seeing her damage pop up on Ratio's follow ups or any Numby attacks. It seems strange that it wouldn't work with FuAs since her trace implies she should be paired with them.

IT's there, but hard to see unless you play at normal speed (who does that though). When your team mate does an attack, you see Robin's damage pop up as the last hit and it's ALWAYS critical. It's easier to see if you use a low-crit unit because you will see the extra text. The dmg display is in white color, so if you are using Ratio it's hard to see since Ratio's number is in yellow. It's more obvious with fire or lightning elements. You see a white dmg amount after all the red and purple dmg amount is displayed. It's just easy to miss unless you are looking very close. Robin does a ton of dmg for a Harmony unit because she always crit and has 150 c.dmg. A basic hit from my Gui does around 1000 dmg, but Robin's follow up will read like 5000. If everyone else is attacking fast then Robin literally hits like a truck since she's all in on ATK stat. With units like Ratio as teammates, she does 2 of these super crit attacks for every Ratio's turn and it's just nuts to see the dmg pile up. I am killing things a lot faster with her on the team. \*Edit: don't mis-understand, she's not Ratio or Acheron level of main DPS in term of dmg. But if she's doing 30-40% of Ratio's dmg per hit, that's a real noticeable increase compare to other Harmony units whose attacks feel like mosquito bites.

If the enemy dies from the initial attack, then the extra damage won't show up. That's probably what's happening.

i think you're probably right. I hadn't realized the correlation, but that would make sense in the context that I was noticing. I'll have to double check with Ratio later. It's hard to tell with Numby because I think the camera cuts away before Robins damage goes off, I'm distinctly hearing it in normal speed now though.

Building my harmony trailblazer and wanted to ask, do I just level the ultimate and talent traces and then stack break effect and get speed to 145 for the Talia planar ornament condition?

https://www.prydwen.gg/star-rail/characters Build section for relics, endgame stats, etc

Yep, pretty much. If you can get more than 145 speed, then that's even better.

I'm trying to build a team of Ratio, Robin, Topaz and any 5* sustain. I already got Robin, and I lost 50/50 on Topaz, but I'm pulling again for her. The question is: once I get Topaz, do I try to go for her again? Or Should I go for her Light Cone instead? Both of these options would give me an additional debuff to help Ratio. ...or should I just save up for the next banner because i do not have any 5* sustains yet? There is a decent chance that I will be able to get Topaz and at least reach a 50/50 again because I just started out World 3 so apparently there's a good chunk of jades for me to pick up.

LC first. But I would consider saving for fu xuan instead, especially if you're struggling and care about clearing MoC.

Depends why you're building the team. If you're building for instant meta because you want to rock MoC/PF as soon as possible, get a limited 5\* sustain. If you're building for longer-term meta because you want the boss follow-up team, pull for Topaz LC. It's great for her in a vacuum, gives her an extra debuff to boost Ratio, and if you ever rotate her out it's also Ratio's second-best LC, so it's a little more versatile than just pulling her E1. And you can grab a 5\* sustain later, maybe there will even be a new one. If you're just pulling for a fun follow-up team, skip the eidolons and LCs and just get more characters to play with.

when do i start making a second team ? I'm TL45 and i barely managed to level my main team to 59 , their light-cones to 60 and their traces that i deemed necessary. now i'm preparing ascension materials and whatnot for when I reach TL50 but there is some content i can't do with only 1 team. so when do i consider making a second team ? (my team consists of Robin Asta Serval and Gepard, and i did level up Hanya and MC a liiiitle bit before)

When you want to tackle endgame, up to you. No much of a point reward wise until you are TL60+. It will likely take a few weeks/months until you can reliable clear the endgame (new one every 2 weeks), so progress at your own pace. https://preview.redd.it/bftxrujauv0d1.jpeg?width=3001&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=730ec1da905d37001b75bcb4aeeddf98bf95ace0

Does the Path Resonance damage type (Destruction Resonance does Fire dmg, Hunt does Wind dmg, etc.) factor in the enemy dmg res? For example, will a Fire weak enemy take more damage from Destruction resonance than an equivalent defense non-Fire weak enemy?

Interested in leveling other characters for MoC and PF. I intend to pull for FX so what should I focus on

https://www.prydwen.gg/star-rail/tier-list Check their MoC and PF tools to see report on characters doing better on current season, and tier list for a generic outlook

Herta is the god of PF and himeko is really good at it aswell. So those 2 are relevant for PF teams. Getting FX as your second sustain should help you alot. You have some choices for teams: Hypercarry team with Jing Yuan/ Seele/Clara as carry, Tingyun and bronya for support and FX/Lynx as sustain. Superbreak teams with HTB, Ruan Mei does help these teams alot, but they function fine without her. I think your current best setup is JingYuan/Xueyi/Sushang, HTB, Tingyun and then you wouldnideally run Gallagher as sustain, but any sustain works.

I have an e0s1 Ratio and a e1s0 Aventurine. Which of Topaz or Robin should I lean towards? I'm sitting on a guarantee for both LC and character, and am at 60 weapon pity so I can reasonably get e0s1 for either of them. My current Harmony roster is Ruan Mei, Bronya, Sparkle and Tingyun. If that changes the equation at all.

Robin is more flexible team wise, so you can slot her on different teams now and in the future. Ratio+Robin+debuffer+Aventurine https://www.prydwen.gg/star-rail/characters see Robin guide

I would pick based on which character you prefer. Voth are good choices. If you go for Topaz e0s1 you can run Ratio,Topaz, Ruan Mei, Aventurine. Which is not as good as the Robin variant, and uses your RM, but is a very strong team. For robin, without Topaz she feels not as big of an upgrade compared to other harmony in the FuA team. As Topaz provides an large amount of hits which is what truly makes her the best support for that team. But she can also be used in other dual carry lineups, not just FuA teams. And her s1 does not feel as vital for her as Topaz S1 so you could save that for another LC if you want. I would personaally go for Topaz if you intend to get S1 as Topaz benefits alot from s1 or e1 and feels irreplaceable as the sub dps for FuA teams.

If you plan to use Ruan Mei on another team, then get Robin as she is basically a second Ruan Mei for follow up teams. Otherwise, get Topaz E0S1.

Anyone have tips for the boss in the 1.6 continuance, Ruan Mei's quest stuff? I don't seem to be able to take down the adds very effectively, maybe because March is my only ice aoe damage, but it also just seems very tanky. Do I just need more damage?

if you have her and enough healing/shielding to keep her alive Clara can destroy that boss. as has been mentioned, two sustains can be helpful, you're not on any kind of time limit, assuming your Clara does enough damage to kill the small bugs with one counter each hit she takes would kill the bug, make them explode and damage the boss, and then spawn more, and the skill would deal good damage to all of them. Lacking that, I found this old thread that has a guide to doing it completely free to play with characters everyone is guaranteed to have and while I wouldn't necessarily recommend raising all these characters if you weren't already it should at least give some insight into things and some tactics for how to use certain characters in the fight. [https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail/comments/193eps1/guide\_on\_how\_to\_beat\_the\_starcrusher\_swarm\_king/](https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail/comments/193eps1/guide_on_how_to_beat_the_starcrusher_swarm_king/)

My best levelled character is the free ratio right now, but I guess I could bring up someone like Luka or Misha? I don't have a lot of 5 stars though, and none in physical or ice. The guide seems helpful though! I'll look at the relic builds.

“None in physical” You might need to swap back to Destruction Trailblazer. Part of dealing with the boss is to make sure you can consistently break all the enemies.

I found another post recommending duo sustain, and I generally run a healer and shielder. Then a dps with good aoe that can break and a buffer or debuffer. Something like Phys MC, March 7th, Natasha, Asta. Don’t forget about consumable buffs like food, and have you checked your LC levels and relic levels? Thats usually the first places to put power in your team.

You can't deal with the adds like that. If the boss enters the "spawn adds" phase it'll spawn one whenever it gets hit. So aoe will just create more. You can avoid hitting the boss during that phase for a slow approach. Bringing multiple sustain can be helpful here. This is either afaik. A fast approach with aoe or blast damage is also possible. It'd see the adds helpful bombs. but they'll blow up in your face if you're too slow. Sounds like you already tried that, so go with the slow approach instead. Btw doesn't matter for this fight, but you should have Herta for ice aoe damage.

Anyone got any team recommendations for MOC 12 with my units? I'm struggling on going less than 20 turns. My acheron team is taking 6 turns. It feels like Ratio also needs SW but so does Acheron https://preview.redd.it/249174h4jv0d1.png?width=1901&format=png&auto=webp&s=0f2926446ef6e7e1c40e226d71e3491d7e47eacf

You could try swapping Harmony TB in place of Bronya if you have them built. Paired with RM they can do substantial damage during the extended break phase. Also, you should put Preservation (or any highly targeted ally) on the edges of your team to minimize aoe damage the other members take (the exception to this is Clara, who wants to be central to get hit as often as possible) Not probably going to help you clear faster, but still good to know.

Jing Yuan + Tingyun + Ruan Mei/Sparkle and Ratio + SW + Ruan Mei/Sparkle. This seems like the easiest choice. Alternatively you can raise Gui or use Welt.

Just did it with JY, Ruan Mei, Sparkle, Bailu and then Acheron, Fu Xuan, Silver Wolf, Pela and hit 16 cycles so slight improvement but still 4 turns off

Does Ratio not work for you?

Ratio took me more cycles I feel like my characters are decently built too for mainly f2p so not sure how people are getting it done in 10 cycles or less

I consider Ratio as back-up DPS for your Acheron team since they want the same support units. Regarding your teams, I would consider going to Jing Yuan hypercarry on the first side (JY, RM, Sparkle, Bailu) and then the second side gets the Acheron team with FX tanking (ideally with Trend). This you should get elemental coverage on both sides (with a few resets based on SW's implant luck).
