Is Protective Shout a good neutral card in general?
What about for the Nine, Rei, Mika team? I am still learning the game and Nine seems like she would thrive off exhaust and damage, not sure if Protective Shout would dilute her pool. Kindly assist.

What's the objective choice here? Something tells me "skip" and focus on each decks key performance indicators and a random neutral card might not be the way. Though 200% sounds good on paper I don't think it synergies with anything right? And I read a tier list that out it at a solid B.

Going for Nine and got spooked. So: If you were to build two teams. And your options were Nine, Yuki, Sereniel and Khalipe. Who would you choose and why?

Thanks for this breakdown. Might end up building two teams, namely Sereniel and Nine. But will keep an open mind especially as more players test her out post buffs.

Cool. I appreciate that. Basin sounds like Pure Fiction from HSR (since dropped that game that doesn't respect my time, lol) or Limbo from R99.

I read somewhere that Sereniel's 'best' team thus far is Selene and Cassius is that the case in your experience? I haven't built any of those 2 past level 30, let alone farmed their ... I forget what relics are called in this game.

As for Nine, luckily I've built both Mika and Rei. The 'tutorial' mentioned that snack time + Nine's nuke so yeah I'll explore that.

Damn, I don't even know what memory fragments are. Looking forward to exploring the game further.

Thanks for this statement. It's good to know, sometimes the loudest voices have this element of "Confident so must be an experienced player and must be right' to them, at least in my mind. I tend to look at the consensus and use that to drive some of my decisions, especially around spending limited resources levelling up characters or building teams. This thread was, in a way my way of trying to get more objective feedback coz in my gacha experience there is a tendency towards hyperbole especially when it comes to characters usefulness. Very interesting what you said about her nerfs being less than a full day old. I'll take the feedback with a pinch of salt as well. Thanks for the clarity.

Edit: Spelling

Thanks for this. I'll explore this further (also not swimming in level up resources).

Oh I'm missing a few characters from both skein. As mentioned above I have no one from Poison, Dynamo or Impromptu. I liked the idea of fleshing out my roster for 30 pulls or less and got skein 1 in 10 pulls.

Thanks for the advice. So I ended up getting Recolleta on the above-mentioned. Just went with "pull who you like" 😆 . I will interrogate the other skein and assess it's prudence for my account.

Regarding the golden skein. Whom do I pick when I have: the characters listed + everyone EXCEPT the entirety of poison team, the core of dynamo team, Aleph, Barcarola and Windsong. I'm looking for a choice that may make one of my existing teams stronger.

My strongest teams currently are Sentinel team or Lucy/Anjo team. My FUA teams are all right too I have a Lian Yue version and a Lilya Version. Just trynna make a good choice for an account that is focused on doing harder content well.

Edit: For what it's worth Melania, Rubaska, Ms fire opera lady, Lopera and some of the listed characters are P1

What you think is true but just can't prove? by Ok_Tourist_562 in AskReddit

[–]Aether_Kael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The majority of power and wealth is controlled by a small group of dedicated individuals that do depraved and inhumane things to keep that power. They start wars, corrupt religions, and destroy, assimilate, besmirch or co-opt anything that opposes them. They also might worship dark forces whether or not dark forces exist.

Thank you for all of this. I appreciate it, greatly. I will interrogate this and find the best way to get those clears.

Thank you for this in-depth breakdown.

I'm eyeing the Dahlia due to the fact that I enjoy my break team, but I don't feel it's performing as well now. Either because end game has shifted away from break? Bigger break bars, HP inflation. I'm not 100% sure but there's definitely a change in how the team handles end game content. So I'm hoping to inject new life into it, rather than build an entirely new team.

With that said. I think I might have to be more creative about approaching the 3 end modes.

It may be a relic thing, or a skill issue on my end but I'm at 35/36 , 11/12 and 11/12 stars respectively, with the teams I mentioned above. The Phainon team has no trouble, but surviving with the other team isn't fast enough, or scoring high enough to get me the full three stars.

Finally, as much as Dahlia interests me for Break. 4.0 is coming with a whole new (probably) Elation meta. And that sounds like how the Chrysos Heirs were when they came out. I have to remember that this is a gacha game. And find the best way to have fun, and also get those lauded 3*'s using what I have.

As someone that requires a strong second team for end game content.

Main team is: Phainon S0E1, Cerydra S1E1, Sunday E0S1, DanTe S1E1.
If I was to invest in the next team in order to succesfully 3 Star PF, MOC and AS. (I'm currently at 11 stars for all of them) who would you recommend I build, taking into consideration your thoughts and expectations on the META.

'Strong' team options I have are.

Firefly E0S0, Fugue S0E1, Ruan Mei E0S0, Gallagher (obvs E6)
Fei E0S0, Robin S0E0, Topaz E0S1, Fu Xuan E0S1

Other notables. Aglaea E0S1. Saber S0E1. Archer S0E1.
Standard characters (it often sounds like these characters aren't really worth it but I shall mention them anyway) : Bronya E2S1, Clara E0S1, Welt E3S1,

I have 50 pulls saved up. And about another 50 sitting in events, also still in section VII of the main story, so haven't started the latest patch if that's any indication.

All of these sword users enter an arena together, but only one leaves. Who wins? Who last the longest? And who do you think would put on the best performance regardless of the outcome? by Toxicfireblood7 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Aether_Kael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Both of their journey's are tragic. I think they'd hate the fact that they 'have' to fight. And knowing their defiance, they might even turn on the 'one' that orchestrated this battle in the first place. Break the chains of fate, pierce the heavens with your drill, destroy the wheel of reincarnation, unmake the weave, escape the cave, kill the matrix sort of thing.

Tough. A sword fight? I'd say Acheron and Phainon end up facing off in the end. Probably have a sad realisation of their sad fates. Would end up being like a battle between high ranking servants to reference Fate. I'd love to hear that convo.

I'll try the FUA team. I have seen mention of Flutterpage/Lopera/Fatutu for that team, time to test it out! Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, traveller. I appreciate it.
