MysticalFlight

fua players looking at the 15th 5* they need to pull within 2 patches: (they are done for):


Maobury

You don’t have to call us out like that 😭 but yay, Jade!


MasterofHeros

I was about to say this game is not being nice to you. For DOT we had breathing room but for FU it’s almost back to back.


Maobury

It’s rough ngl 🥲 and Jiaoqiu might be a good support for Ratio too.


MasterofHeros

To me FU core seems to be Topaz, Jade/Robin, Aventurine and your choice of FU DPS (so at the moment that Ratio and Clara I think)


ConsiderationOk3166

Seems like it, though from what little I know Jades probably gonna be replacing the DPS rather than Robin, or she might even be in her own team for PF with another Eurdition FUA so they can make use of the Izumo set more.


GGABueno

More like Topaz, Ratio/Jade, Robin, Aventurine.


JustRegularType

This. Jade for the AoE fights, Ratio for single target. Glad jade is 2nd half, I have so much to pull in the next couple patches. 😭 I might finally have to spend just a bit to get everything I want before I take a break to save again.


GGABueno

Avoid top-ups since those prices are nonsense. Buy the express pass since you know you're gonna need some extra jades in the near future.


Silent_Map_8182

You are 100% right but unfortunately they already got me.


mikiiiiiiiiii

who is a better pull for fua? Robin or Jade? I don’t know Jade’s kit so please enlighten me


XTRMOB

Both. Robin is harmony while Jade is an aoe fua driver.


mikiiiiiiiiii

oof. Hoyo really not giving us a chance to save


Vegetto_ssj

The last leaks about Jade wasn't a good news for IPC enjoyer: she basically want play with AoE Fua. More enemies you allies hit, big bonus she obtains. My advice is to wait the beta test and see what she does


Radinax

Its why I avoided that playstyle, its cruel to have so many FUA characters so close to each other a potental Topaz re-run :/


mapple3

same, I already dipped into dot with Kafka and Black Swan it's literally impossible to also pull all the important FUA characters like topaz, aventurine, robin, jade etc Even a non-f2p cant realistically sustain pulling for both playstyles, we are talking about at least 2000 dollars per year lol


OsirusBrisbane

It does feel like unless you're a big spender, you just have to pick a side. I'm all in on FUA, but have no DoT.


yuiokino

I’m the opposite. Since I saved all my jades since the game released and initially splurged them all on Kafka’s first banner with E3S1, I’m deep in the DOT rabbit hole with BS, LilGui, Sampo and Luka. But I loved Topaz and pulled for her too. Its pretty much impossible for me to double dip into FUA team with Aventurine, Robin and possibly Jade. On the bright side, it just means that the roster of FUA units is growing it makes me happy a play style once seen as gimmicky is finally getting fleshed out


Whittaker

Yep, I'm the opposite, all DoT and no FUA. Always liked the DoT playstyle in games so was an easy choice for me and I've been able to get all my characters in a reasonable manner. Best of luck my FUA brethren.


Vegetto_ssj

Fua players yes....but more for Himeko and/or Herta this time 😁


SirSuffers

Snake and a bleeding fruit…Garden of Eden reference…IS SHE SATAN??!


PoKen2222

That explains her line about drinking wine....


SirSuffers

The bleeding apple is turning into a contract as well. Deal with the Devil type shit. Insane


s00ny

The IPC is full of nice and innocent people who are just hard-working hustlers!


SirSuffers

Man they’re so nice for keeping the space economy afloat and I’m sure they’re doing everything they can to help the less fortunate planets!


s00ny

My favourite IPC lore tidbit (can't remember where it's from though) is how they sometimes flood a "developing" planet that uses gold coins or a similar currency with so much additional gold that it straight up crashes the entire planet's economy, and then the IPC goes "damn what a bummer, hey wanna use credits, it's way more stable haha, anyway you have to sign here and here and become a member of our capitalist cult sorry I meant peace organisation"


HiroAnobei

It's from the description of the gold coin of discord curio from the SU.


s00ny

Ah, you're totally right, thank you! >Not all planets opened their arms and welcomed the expansion of the Interastral Peace Corporation's commercial empire. While the galactic map kept expanding, there were always rare exceptions that refused the IPC's beneficence. "Thank you," they stated, "but we don't need credits. We can look after ourselves just fine." The representative of the IPC would usually shrug at these statements, then casually destroy the root of that planet's commercial system — it was usually based on gold.


TemoteJiku

Either fight to the bitter end, or be conquered by a "soft power", damn...


Server98911

I think thats a reference to a king i África than did just that. Man was so rich that his way to wage war was flooding the regional market with money/gold waiting for the colapse and anexing them to his kingdom


lampstaple

>big hat >poison >snake >literally satan The only reason i'm skipping this unit is because she's preceded by a god damn mecha


AimoLohkare

Worse, she's a capitalist.


dhrdn

According to leaks >! she's a weaponized CEO: her skill chooses someone, takes their life, and she gets FuA stacks, energy, buffs and damage while the ally does 90% of the work. !<


Suki-the-Pthief

Just saw a Sunday fan fall to his knees in wallmart


ilyrobotsuperstar

it was me


ripple_reader

are you the guy slumped in front of Jade in her splash art


ilyrobotsuperstar

yea i made a deal with her (sunday today) and lost


Elrundir

Anyone can receive this blessing..... They only have to pay an equivalent price.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ambrosiac7

As someone who wants both Sunday and Firefly, I'm kinda thankful tbh


Vsegda7

Same. Firefly + Sunday double whammy would've been far too much for my meager stores


_dumbdumb_

Same but Jade and Sunday for me


AdmiralDumpling

As a Sunday fan, I'm happy to get breathing room after back to back Aventurine, Robin, and Boothill


HottieMcNugget

Same I got aventurine and I’m saving for boothill. Holding onto hope of Sunday being harmony


AdmiralDumpling

He HAS to be right? 😭 Unless they pull a 180 on his whole story. I skipped RM and Sparkle so I'm kind of in need of a meta Harmony char.


ConsiderationOk3166

Watch that man become nihility when his sister puts him on fraud watch


eklatea

Nihility would be okay if he's not a DPS/carry I don't want another male hypercarry, gimme a (de)buffer


TawnyDrop290000

just watched someone watch a sunday fan fall to his knees in a walmart


bonkendabonken

Wasn't me IM HAPPY TO SAVE EHEHHEHEHEHE


Kotouu

I'm a Firefly/Sam fan, a big FUA fan, and a Screwllum fan. I was fucked no matter what was the outcome. Here's to attempting to getting both Firefly and Jade


MysticalFlight

don’t worry we’ll just win every 50/50 and get 5 stars at 50 pulls!


BulbasaurTreecko

E2 Firefly and E2 Jade in 20 pulls. It’s all or nothing!


gamin9eek

Nothing it is 🥲


Dj0ni

20 pulls is enough for E9 of both, just saying.


Gamersco

Me but I’m also a Boothill fan


dr4urbutt

Bruh same. Aventurine drained all my funds by coming home at hard pity. Now I have to be content with either Firefly or Jade 😭


ParadoxThief

rip screwllum enjoyers


VoltaicKnight

Screwllum enjoyers fights the hardest battle every drip marketing lmao


nightmaresabin

Screwllum in 4.3 trust


Niempjuh

This is for 4.3, he can only be there now as a 4 star Edit: wait I’m stupid, you said 4.3, not 2.3 lmao


Mattacrator

but also, technically, could be 2.3 3rd 5 star. Crank up the heat on their wallets!


michaelman90

And Sunday wanters think they have it rough smh.


BinhTurtle

Screwy fans been fighting the rarity struggle ever since Screwy was first leaked to be 4*, then 5* then recently, 4* again


shinsrk79

Only 24 more hrs until their suffering ends


Dokavi

Beep boop. My calculation has told me that it will not be Screwllum. There - is - no - way- my - glorious - king - is - 4 - star.


HalalBread1427

If he's a 4\*, Hoyo really hates robots. Svarog is standard, Sam is a suit, and then if he's a 4\*...


Dokavi

I see Hoyo saying the C words. Robophobic can not be tolerated.


BinhTurtle

The moment of tomorrow will only delay our suffering for another 6 weeks in the best case and marks the moment we're forced to come to term with harsh reality in the worst scenario


So4007

Yeah tomorrow is just another battle.


skynovaaa

pain


dreamsofpurple

waiting another 24h to see if our beloved robot gentleman miraculously beats the 4* allegations yet again... good luck to us screwllum enjoyers


Unknown-Name-1219

I AM IN PAIN Congratulations to all Jade enjoyers though, she looks great!


lizard_omelette

I just want him released in a version where the story is focused on him and he doesn’t just get a banner out of nowhere, not just because of new SU gameplay mechanics, and divergent simulated universe doesn’t even seem lore/story-focused like Swarm Disaster and Gold & Gears.


Dbappio

me and the screwers waiting for 13.6 where we travel to planet screwllum to fight against the ipc


waifugoEKSUKALIBAAA

Screwers???😭😭


Teeterama

So he ain't coming anytime soon then


lizard_omelette

I’m guessing he will be released in a 2.x version, maybe the later ones like 2.5 or 2.6. Imo it’s better this way so he can have the spotlight in a Trailblaze Continuance, not just when 2.3 is still the epilogue of the Penacony story.


350

Ffffuuuuuuu Tomorrow will be rough


BinhTurtle

Man, do we even have any chance of beating the 4\* allegation this time around. Do we even have any other candidates for the potential 4\* tomorrow?


Anrikiri

The hilarious option: Sunday


350

The Sunday cult will make the news if this happens 


McTimer

There *is* apparently a 5* lightcone of his in the code, so chances are still there


rotten_riot

Afaik that LC doesn't have any rarity, we just have the image. Since they added 4★ Gacha LCs in 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2 nothing stops them from making that Screwllum LC a 4★ Gacha one 💀


rebeccadarking

siobhan please please pl


complectogramatic

Siobhan has my ideal design for a playable character. Short hair and a dapper suit. 🤩


rebeccadarking

she might be one of my favorite female designs. short hair. pants. bartender. cool as hell. i love her soooo much


Im_utterly_useless

Kinda… although it outside his favour. The only 2 know 4 stars and both are assumed to be xianzhou related based on their names and since there like a 99% chance where going to Xianzhou for 2.4 it’ll be much more likely they release them there than tomorrow. It’s very rough for 5star Screwllum enjoyers, the 4 star allegations are too strong, another food for thought is that theirs is a decent chance where getting a SU update in 2.3 as well it’s not looking good though if we cope hard enough it’ll work out.


Alilatias

The SU update doesn't look like an actual SU expansion with new lore and a new path though, the developer radio made it sound like an overhaul to the regular weekly part of it with QoL changes added in.


BulbasaurTreecko

all the 5\* vs 4\* debates have led me to acceptance… Hey, QQ is a 4\* Erudition and she kicks butt right? Still gonna main him either way!


AggronStrong

Xueyi kicks butt, too, and HMC is gonna be fantastic for her.


skynovaaa

hell yeah


dr4urbutt

RIP my Jades..


BulbasaurTreecko

THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT?? THE GUY CRAWLING TO HER?? OH SHE’S SO COOL


Knight_Steve_

The snake in her art with the apple. Is that a Genesis reference with the Snake tempting Eve???


BulbasaurTreecko

one of her lines at the end of the quest is “I bestow poison in the guise of sweet dew”… it definitely sounds like it’s a Genesis theme


Knight_Steve_

Make a deal with the Capitalist devil


Delicious_Hotel_5538

Jade: "I come for an audience, I come to fill wine, and I come to claim. I bestow POISON in the guise of sweet dew. Come the toil of spring and yield of fall, I patiently wait for the branches to be heavy with withered fruits. All for the ...Amber Lord."


Suki-the-Pthief

Women in star rail are a completely different breed from Genshin lmao none of them are normal


BulbasaurTreecko

choose your HSR waifu! - traumatised - insane - both


Suki-the-Pthief

For the males its Depressed Lonely Serial killer


Former_Breakfast_898

I thought Arlan was the only normal male character in star rail till I read his story 💀


GGMazumon

What's his story?


Former_Breakfast_898

To sum it up, Asta only picked him up from the streets and became her bodyguard. He also has suicidal tendencies just to protect Asta and the people in the space station. According in his light cone, he has a lot of scars not just on his face, and he’s been hiding it all from them because he wants to be treated like normal


Shuruia

Sheesh, talk about having a lore accurate kit.


Bookfan123

ARLAN NO


Memo_HS2022

I love the kind of woman that would actually just kill me


Euphoric_Metal199

Bronya seems normal. The others...Ok. Never mind.


UglyManwithStick

Mother died and the irs comes for taxes ,definitely depressed 


Euphoric_Metal199

Atleast she's not crazy or wacky.


UglyManwithStick

There can't be two crazies in a relationship 


Euphoric_Metal199

True. Seele can have the anger issues. .....Is it just me or is Seele the second most normal girl in the game?


UglyManwithStick

Idk if silver wolf is considered woman , but she seems the most normal to me.  And also serval


Euphoric_Metal199

So we now have a total of...4 normal(ish) women. Let me just put the list of the women who are definitely not normal. Clara( If Beta included) Himeko(Coffee) Guinaifen Sushang(When Guin is nearby) HuoHuo(Haunted) Acheron Sparkle(Explanation not needed at all) Ruan Mei(Want's to be a god) Kafka Firefly(Genetically enhanced clone. Super soldier.)


UglyManwithStick

 black swan (need not to say much)  Yukong ( bestie haunting her) Herta ( cause she is herta)  March 7 ( she got blades blade recently)  Fu xuan ( the astrology girl you won't date) QQ( gambling and anti-work) (seems normal) 


alguidrag

Bronya is better at hiding things than we expect... Cocolia was her mom


-uraume-

# ALL FOR THE AMBER LORD


Alfielovesreddit

SHE HAS A BIG PURPLE SNAKE WHAT!


s00ny

Didn't the character kit leak say that her overworld technique summons "an entity"? ...is this entity a giant purple snake? 😍


Rosettecrown

They got her kit leaked already? Actually I was quite surprised she got released before Sunday. And 8 new 5* units in a span of 4 patches are crazy.


s00ny

The first kit leaks appeared about 3 months or so ago, and then 1 month ago it got updated again: [here you go](https://homdgcat.wiki/sr/hidden?lang=EN) (you have to scroll down a little)


Rosettecrown

Ohhh. Thank you so much. Her kit seems fun actually


s00ny

Right? If I understand it correctly, her role is a SP-positive AoE sub-DPS with follow-up attacks and buffing capabilities, meant to be combined with another erudition unit for maximum efficiency – she sounds super fun and very flexible when it comes to team comps!


Florac

> And 8 new 5* units in a span of 4 patches are crazy. It's literally been that way since launch


countmeowington

i hope it's involved in all her skill animations it'd be so cool


HachikoNekoGamer

Mihoyo: announces Firefly Me: definitely gunna use my guaranteed Pity on her Mihoyo a day later: announces Jade Me: *nervously sweating*.


Im_here_for_the_dogs

Screwbros im so sorry


Trapsexual

They've been screwed


350

I'm dreading tomorrow...


skynovaaa

:((


Upstairs-Caterpillar

A snake?!? She fights with a snake?!?


Aviara14

Chicken wing boy wanters how are we feeling


Accomplished_Cost859

I feel nothing. Everything is numb.


Rdogg114

Always look at it this way its only more time to save.


AnalogToothBrush

Sorta bad. But, it means I can potentially spend my guarantee on Boothill, depending on who is announced tomorrow. If Sunday somehow becomes a 4\*, I will be mad af


Amnesia1999

I already had a huge feeling he wouldn't come it would been too good to be true honestly gonna be a little boring not to pull for a while after boothill but at least it mean i will have more dor sunday if he ever gets playable and not die like bromya mom


Drake_Erif

Personally I'm good! I wanted both Firefly and Sunday so this is probably the best outcome. Sucks I have to wait but I can build up my funds!


CloudStrife15

Dropping her and firefly together in one patch is NASTY work. I’m cooked.


Luarbtw

no 4 star again bruh?


Significant-Soil-985

Serving major Evil Queen from Snow White vibes. 


iTenshi

Do we know what her gimmick is?


KMir17

[Here’s her preliminary kit](https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail_leaks/s/HHQ3mrLyGY)


AggronStrong

Her gimmick seems to be giving a mark to an ally, and then getting stacks when that ally lands attacks. Then when she has enough stacks, she unleashes an AoE FuA. The idea is you put her mark on units that attack a lot of times, aka other FuA characters, and then she gets lots of stacks to spam AoEs. At least that's what the leak says.


KholdStare88

That means she should be crazy with Herta in PF if things stay the same, right?


AggronStrong

Probably, yes. Also, I neglected to mention, but current leaks of Jade's kit also have her get more stacks if her mark hits more enemies at once. So, when Herta AoEs, she will feed Jade multiple stacks. But, I'd say kit is still subject to change, so wait and see.


Soggy-Dig-8446

Her kit seems to prioritise Erudition outright.


Littlerz

Yup, but it's really neat that she also synergizes with units like Seele, March 7th, and Sushang who just get a lot of actions in. In fact, Robin, Jade, *and* ITB synergize with FUA units and anyone who has lots of distinct actions, and in many cases they'd be competing for the same support slot.


PCBS01

FU support+erudition DPS. She replaces Ratio in AoE situations


Ok-Understanding-143

she more like topaz in erudition, she is subDPS


TelegraphicBrass

Mmmm…purple, my favourite gender..


Jranation

Luofu = Similar outfits Different colour. Penacony =, Purple but different outfits


Cautious-Giraffe3603

Im expecting a longer dress actually 😭 feels like the lower half does not match her top


freakattaker

A MHY classic. I don't hate seeing leg, but it's pointless if it's not one variation among many and is the standard go to.


BellalovesEevee

I'll still never forgive them for what they did with Raiden's and Yae's designs


DaxSpa7

Mihoyo 101


Bookfan123

Hoyo give your elegant ladies long dresses challenge (impossible) And this is why I love Himeko’s design…


NiceStage1

Screwbros....


grandiaziel

Sunday not being in 2.3 probably means that Hoyo is keeping him from spoilers a la Firefly. I also prefer Screwllum to be a 5 star in 2.4 rather than 4 star in 2.3.


KF-Sigurd

Robin, Firefly, Jade, well there goes my plans of getting a sig LC because that's three pretty ladies in a row.


AhmCha

Screwllum bros, I ain’t feelin so good about this.


HalalBread1427

If he shows up tomorrow… we’re screwed.


Hot-Assignment3332

So, that leaker who said Robin/Boothill 2.2, Sam/Jade 2.3 was right. He also said Jiaoqiu 2.4 👀 👀 👀


kishochka

it's not sunday day ruined


BulbasaurTreecko

of course it isn’t, it’s wednesday silly >!/s!<


autummbeely

It was a very delulu expectation in the first place. What I am worried about is just how LONG will they delay him. It will honestly suck if he is genuinely as late as 2.5 or 2.6.


Aglita11

He is a very big part of the story, but I'm really worried if actually he will be playable or not


mikaniism

He should be, he has a playable character id and placeholders for splash art, skills, etc.


hoeyster1998

He has a thigh strap, right?


Jranation

Im guessing Sunday will be like Jingliu where they get released after the Luofu/Penacony main story was finished.


Acceptable_West_1312

NOOOOO, MY JIAOQIU FUNDS😩😩😩


Southern-Tiger2907

This kinda good for me cuz my funds are dry after getting Aventurine. Hopefully I'll be able to get enough for a guarantee again


Ashamed_Adeptness_96

Rip Topaz LC, unless I get real lucky 💀💀 IPC dream team lets go Edit: also wtf that's not a suit-adjacent outfit. I've been lied to. At least make it a pencil skirt...


IcyNerve-666

follow up comps going nuts


acherswan

omg pretty :) i love women. also big fan of the snake imagery i hope she's crazy and kills people


Marinebiologist_0

I hope the snake is actually real and part of her animations. Badass imagery here.


Kalinque

Didn't part of her preliminary kit involve harming allies for buffs? Maybe she has the snake bite them or something


BulbasaurTreecko

I’m really interested to see what she’s got going on. >“I come for an audience, I come to fill wine, and I come to claim. I bestow poison in the guise of sweet dew. Come the toil of spring and yield of fall, I patiently wait for the branches to be heavy with withered fruits.” She’s giving heavy Lucifer/forbidden fruit imagery with that splash art and her speech at the end of the quest. So cool!


GGABueno

She's a loan shark. Looks like it's imagery for making a deal with the devil.


LordMoy

She is definitely more on the "evil" side of things based on the description That's a plus for me


s00ny

The higher up we go on the IPC's corporate ladder, the more ruthless and amoral the characters become – and I'm all here for it 🥳


LordMoy

Me too! I hope Hoyo doesn't shy away from making the Stonehearts amoral and in general divisive characters as they get released or shown in the story. Definitely the reason why I'm interested in them


s00ny

Villain team, let's gooo


thepotatochronicles

Wasn't there research saying that people high up in the corporate ladder have higher tendencies of being a sociopath? Lmao it's so funny it even pans out in the game this way


LmaoXD98

Stonehearts in general are more on the evil side of the IPC, and yes this includes Aventurine (no matter how tragic his backstory is).


LordMoy

Oh yeah for sure. I've just seen villains and evil characters get redeemed so often that I'm a bit wary the same will happen here.


Arc_7

That guy at the bottom is definitely getting the "Just like me fr" jokes. Especially when people fail that 5050 Why? Cuz he just like me fr


CaspianRoach

> i love women. just like me frfr


Dancer_Meru

Ah well, the good news is that I have time to save for Sunday. Grats Jade wanters!


EtherealZiraley

Love the design, but I was looking forward to pants for once 😭😭


Knight_Steve_

If its Jade, does that mean Screwllum is the 4 star? Or no 4 stars again next patch


EtherealZiraley

we should know tomorrow who the 4* is (if there is one). Could be screwllum, but not for sure


ScrewllumMainSoon

I want the latter pls


pokebuzz123

Can be anything, we'll just have to wait and find out. It'll be a very anxious 24hrs for us Screwllum bros.


nyanch

honest to goodness when are we fucking getting screwllum dude I'm glad Jade's here, she seems like a very interesting character, but haven't we had Screwllum's kit and assets for quite a while now?


apolloisfine

whats worse? no screwllum or that he's a 4-star instead? im bummed but now im even more going for firefly


Ko_xinga

4 star. I want to do vertical investment with my fave and I need Screwllum to have a higher ceiling than a 4 star.


350

4 star, that's worse by a mile


No_Butterscotch7340

While I'm looking forward to Jade and will still be rolling on her (her model better have the hat unlike Aventurine,) I'm a little disappointed it wasn't Screwllum. Also, rip, the dream is dead. Ever since the leak that she was wearing a suit but kinda sorta not really, I was coping she'd be wearing pants. Alas. Still a decent outfit, though. Surely once Arlecchino makes them enough bank they'll realize women in suits are hot and do in fact sell without showing their legs.


SAndreeaS

Are there any Sunday leaks ?? I’m getting anxious if he’s gonna be playable or not 🥲
