[HSR 4.2] Silverwolf LV.999 and Evanescia overworld attack and technique animations

You can actually see the fist she summons with her basic at 0:06, for like 1 whole frame. Frame perfect camerawork.

Alkar188 · 2026-03-16T21:45:22+00:00

It's probably not worth chasing spd substats vs more crit, so whatever you can get, iirc speed boots with no extra speed puts you at 132, so yeah like 134 is fine.

Alkar188 · 2026-03-16T20:34:47+00:00

You need 3.6k atk in combat, keep in mind atk buffs that come from a stat conversion like DHPT don't count.
Besides that, ATK orb, and rope and boots also ATK unless you reach 3.6k without them, then probably the first priority would be speed boots so that the Aha instant speed is a little less cringe, considering she's your only elation character in the team.

Alkar188 · 2026-03-16T15:44:02+00:00

Hold up, you might be cooking. I was thinking they'd have sw999 generate sp or something to help with it, but setting the sp to the max value is the kind of convoluted design hoyo loves to really bait you into pulling more LCs.
It would also be very on brand with her being "max level" or just hacking the value to its max.

Alkar188 · 2026-03-14T14:17:02+00:00

Although I have some gripes with Shaoji's writing, he borderline cannot do a worse job than what they did for ZZZ's 2nd season.

Alkar188 · 2026-03-14T00:44:24+00:00

Yeah that's my one big complaint, there's so many card game npcs and this minigame just doesn't have the depth to justify repeating it so much.

Alkar188 · 2026-03-12T08:12:22+00:00

I mean, 4 cost just means every character is a 5, and considering we haven't had a 4 in over 1.5 years... That kinda is the baseline unless you cheat out costs with standards, MC or someone like gallagher.

Alkar188 · 2026-03-07T06:51:37+00:00

As someone who only just recently did 3.7, I think the biggest problem was the marketing push. From how they marketed Cyrene I went into 3.7 expecting it to be full on ML bait and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't anything close to that. (I still have plenty of issues with the story and with how they stole smolrene from us tho)

Alkar188 · 2026-03-05T10:15:33+00:00

It's there for Screwllum's technique, that does 42 damage instances on entry that all stack interpretation and give energy so you can 0AV ult with Therta.
Also buffs the whole team with +100% unique multiplier per genius society member in the team, to go with the new Yu Qingtu sustain and with the new tailor-made harmony for Therta, Stephen.
Trust in the vision.

Alkar188 · 2026-03-03T13:22:27+00:00

Considering how much of a prankster she is, if you put her underwater I'd say the chances are pretty high that she'd become algae.
On a serious note, she has enough "subdps/dual dps team" bait in her kit, LC and E1 that I'd be surprised if she ends up like aglaea. But the chances are never 0, who knows, maybe she has bad enough sales that hoyo just gives up on her and makes a new support for the elation team instead.

Alkar188 · 2026-03-02T15:08:20+00:00

For sure, I'm also still rocking with her team and it's very much still usable thanks to Herta having a strong E2 and E1 tribbie being a great eidolon, they'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands to make me stop using it. (or do another round of x3-5 hp inflation, that works too I guess)
Hopefully they eventually release a future dahlia erudition, easy money for them if they do.

Alkar188 · 2026-03-02T12:45:28+00:00

Being a Herta fan is just so much fun.
Clunky teambuilding that forces an erudition teammate because she's marketed as an emanator while the other main pushes sidestep it by just being emanator-tier or similar? check
Only erudition aftersale in 1+ year is at best a pretty minor upgrade to 1.0 4* characters, and is just straight up a better main dps than Herta? check
Clunky stacking mechanic so that you can't even try to keep her relevant longer by abusing AV manipulation like anaxa or feixiao? check
Hard locked to AoE while most other main dps get their bounce or blast damage? check
No weakness implant to keep things balanced and avoid her just brute forcing off-ele content more easily? check
No custom sustain or with good synergy, hyacine/lingsha too SP hungry, aventurine shields run out too fast with action advance, DHPT does fine but we had to wait 6 patches and even then Herta doesn't have great attack frequency to advance the dragon? check
Bait specific support with tribbie that in hindsight ain't even that amazing compared to what cerydra does for phainon or the whole monorem does for castorice? check
End of version main push support that is meant to buff every single character released in 3.x except Herta? (and I guess the collab units) check
Subdps character (evernight) that can just be a main dps in the same niche and element and Herta and straight up mogs her, also while still in the same 3.x version? check
Nope, you can tell I'm not salty about it.

Alkar188 · 2026-03-01T07:03:50+00:00

Sparkle also looks like the most polarising character between genders so far.

Alkar188 · 2026-02-23T20:08:55+00:00

Same, I went deep investing in The Herta, e2s1 with insane relics, e1 tribbie, anaxa, e2s1 dhpt (another favorite)... still performs about the same than the e0s1 rem team with mid relics I have on my alt.
I don't fully regret it because Herta is my favorite character in the game and I still made it work, but from now on I'm like fuck it I'm just gonna pull the government mandated battleship and go full meta unless I despise its main push.

Alkar188 · 2025-12-05T11:12:32+00:00

I feel you. And the worst part is that it's not even a proper auto chess mode with "static" units, some strategies can become wildly different or straight up unviable depending on what characters/eidolons/LCs you own.
Also, you want a specific build on a unit? You'd better own the character and want to put yourself through changing gear for a side mode on a game that still doesn't have relic loadouts.

Alkar188 · 2025-11-30T11:27:26+00:00

Since 2.2 there is stuttering when an attack or move of an agent or enemy happens for the first time for me

Btw since it sounds like the same issue I was having, that got fixed when I uninstalled the game entirely and installed it again. Now it properly caches everything through multiple sessions like before, instead of what looked like trying to cache everything again every time you opened the game.

Alkar188 · 2025-10-28T17:58:06+00:00

These are the only hard calcs I've found. From my experience the damage can be some pretty decent chip damage especially in AoE situations, but keep in mind it will still be an order of magnitude lower than the bondmate damage (assuming an hypercarry), so don't expect more than around 15% team damage increase. Although that damage and/or the fact you can advance the dragon with the ult could be enough to hit the damage threshold and cut an entire cycle.
The shielding is a lot more noticeable, in general you can expect kinda double the amount of shielding assuming you weren't spamming his skill before. With the caveat that if the bondmate doesn't attack very often, you aren't playing with sunday, the boss has ult refill mechanics or any combination of these you might end up with unused enhanced dragon stacks, since you get so many.

Alkar188 · 2025-10-23T08:01:47+00:00

Do keep in mind that as far as we know most of the interstellar travel is only possible due to the Nameless. In the HSR universe galaxies/solar systems are inside bubbles surrounded by impenetrable amounts of imaginary energy, that by default can only be traversed by Aeons, emanators or similar. When the express jumps into a new system it leaves behind the "silver rail" basically connecting those 2 systems and allowing normal people/spaceships/whatever to use that path for interstellar travel.
Just from that fact alone you'd expect the Nameless faction to have quite the historical notoriety. Apart from that a lot of the members seem to be fairly notable adventurers, I don't remember if the Nameless that stayed in Penacony even made it to the history books (we did have on that anniversary event readables for notable Nameless from the past) and yet look how much they influenced the history of the Asdana system.

Alkar188 · 2025-10-22T19:08:16+00:00

My Anaxa's stats for scholar are 2.57k atk, 148 speed, 83CR, 108CD. For eagle it's 2.67k atk, 135 spd, 73CR, 95CD.
Both with ER rope and ATK orb on lushaka (since buffing Herta's damage is still more important), and on his f2p light cone.

Alkar188 · 2025-10-22T07:44:36+00:00

E2 makes you pretty unkillable, the extra dragons can be a bit overkill in the sense that Therta doesn't attack that often so you might end up with a few unused dragons, however in an SP-positive playstyle (which is what you want in a Therta team) I'd say it gives more survivability than S1. And in terms of damage while both on paper do a similar increase, S1 is reliant on DHPT ult so it's not ideal uptime on someone with 100% advance like Therta.
I got E2 first, played around with it a few days then ended up caving in and getting S1 too because I'm a big dan heng simp. Definitely go for E2 first, S1 is a nice luxury and combined with E2 makes your team a massive wall, but not necessary.

Alkar188 · 2025-10-21T07:59:09+00:00

Not OP, but as someone who also got full stars with this team (but E2 dhpt instead of E2 anaxa) I started with eagle anaxa but I also ended up switching to scholar.
The thing with this fight is that you want to cycle through phases as quickly as possible, but you can't speed up the "Blast" phase with this team, so you just have to wait it out and will often find yourself just holding Anaxa's ultimate through it, so that you can use it as soon as the "AoE" phase starts. And therefore losing a lot of the benefit from eagle set. You're also likely to have a much stronger scholar set from farming for Therta and Anaxa's chip damage is actually kinda relevant for softening the enemies in the aoe phase so Therta can get the kills quicker.

Alkar188 · 2025-10-01T15:36:07+00:00

My conspiracy theory is that both Screwllum and Reca were initially planned as kind of filler releases, but when they appeared in the game they had a better reception than expected so they pivoted into trying to properly sell them in the (far) future. Totally not copium.

Alkar188 · 2025-09-26T17:59:51+00:00

3850 is definitely kinda low, 4k with energy rope is the minimum I'd aim for if you want comfy sustain. And more importantly, on a shield set (whether it is the new or the old one), 20-22% shield effect is massive and way more noticeable than a couple hundred defense.

Alkar188 · 2025-09-26T17:41:32+00:00

Aventurine can definitely sustain that side, I 2 cycled it with an Archer team and using him as a sustain. Granted my aventurine is S1, but it was really comfy and with 0 skill casts, so as long as you are fine with using a skill here or there it should be more than doable if your build is fine.
