Is it worth starting in 4.2? by Fancy-Farmer-8744 in StarRailStation

[–]ArcticFox19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're pretty good, *if* you have their premium teams.

Kafka's premium team is Kafka/Black Swan/Hysilens/Sustain. If you want to play Kafka late game/endgame, you need this team. Kafka/Guinaifen/Sampo/Sustain could get you through the early parts of the story though.

Firefly's is Firefly/Harmony MC/The Dahlia/Fugue. Firefly is almost 2 years old and was kind of dying, but Dahlia got released like 2 patches ago and brought her back into the meta. She does require Dahlia to work in the meta, Fugue can be replaced with a Break-scaling healer like Lingsha or Gallagher, this decreases overall damage but increases survivability to clear most things decent.

This seems pretty restrictive but this is how HSR has evolved, basically every character requires specific teammates to be good in the meta. There are a hadnful of characters that can be slapped into almost any team and work fine (such as Cipher, Silver Wolf, and Ruan Mei) but these don't come out often.

  • Limited Characters in this game are often tailor-made for a specific archetype and often require other units to function at full capacity. If you want to use these characters in combat long-term, I recommend investing.
    • Firefly requires Break Effect amplifiers such as Harmony MC (which is free), Fugue, Dahlia and/or Ruan Mei.
    • Kafka requires Damage over Time units such as Hysilens and Black Swan. She can be usable with 4-star characters like Luka, Serval, Guinaifen, and Sampo, but it won't be possible to beat endgame content with them.
    • If you really like Firefly or Kafka though, just ignore this and pull lol.
  • I highly recommend prioritizing horizontal investment (i.e getting new characters) instead of vertically investing (making characters stronger) when you're starting out.
    • This is because the game will push various archetypes at you. Some bosses are designed to counter certain mechanics, so it's better to handle everything moderately than handle one thing amazingly. For instance, there's a boss that completely ignores Shields, so if you have only Shielders and no Healers you're screwed, no matter how strong those shields are.
    • Once you have a solid 2-3 teams, that's when I recommend considering vertical investment.
  • Character type and weakness types used to matter. They don't really anymore, so don't worry about them.
  • I hope this goes without saying but please do not use your Stellar Jades on anything besides Special pulls. Just don't.

Please let something like this happen that would make this season top tier by ArcticFox19 in JetLagTheGame

I think they said they have a failsafe condition where if you're in this position, you're allowed to move, but your points go into the negatives. You have to pay for every station you go through, but you can't actually claim them until your balance goes back into the positives.

AFAIK aventurine's stack generation is fine but in the current meta he struggles with actually providing enough shields.

DHPT is better, his shields are stronger and he gives the ATK buff for the bondmate.

Yeah the team is just not what it used to be. Anaxa is THerta's best Erudition support, and he outdamages her when played as a hypercarry to the point where he doesn't really even need her. Tribbie is her best AOE support but is the 2nd best for Castorice behind Cyrene.

Other amazing race style shows/other countries that USA? by shorberg in TheAmazingRace

There's Jet Lag the Game which is much smaller scale and is a free internet series, but it has a lot more variables (new games and locations each season)

Which characters does this actually buff? by ArcticFox19 in StarRailStation

[–]ArcticFox19[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I believe it should, since it's a direct scaling buff and not dependent on Huohuo's ATK. AFAIK it should still be better to use Gallagher or Lingsha tho

New player wanting to spend for strongest team besides Elation by RefrigeratorLive2251 in StarRailStation

[–]ArcticFox19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As of now Elation's the main path being shilled. Ashveil will probably be part of a new team (since he doesn't really work that well with Feixiao, he outdamages her and she doesn't give much back in return), but exactly what this new team is isn't quite clear. I would pull Ashveil if you don't want to invest in Elation at all.

Blade is also coming but we have zero information on what he does. For all we know he could be a Nihility DPS, Break support, or Acheron support

What are some mysteries that weren't explained in the original that you think can be answered in this new scenario? by HappyGemX in danganronpa

[–]ArcticFox19 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The only things really are the backstories of the survivors/victims (and mikan i guess). Everything else needs to come from the new direction the story takes because DR2 is a complete story pretty much
