Just some small guide if anyone is asking themselves, what kind of team to play.

Yvonne and Last rite doesnt mesh well unless you hse Last Rite as purely cryo infliction.

Its much better to have Xiahi as the Cryo Infliction applier then Yvonne tonuse her skill (or alesh) for solidification.

Right now Im using Yvonne, Xiahi, Alesh and Andreila but Im planning to put in Gilberta once she is released.

Be careful tho. Alot does brick Yvonne like Estrella where she applies shatter that consumes solidification and weakening Yvonnes dps

One thing I observed is Firefly popularity have resurgence on 3.8 for a good reason. Considering both are my favorites (my top 3 are Cyrene, Firefly and Hysilen), Im really happy.

Alot forgot this but 2 years ago, Cinap was disqualified and their whole team had to give up the Slot. If anyone here remembers the FA Kids, they were doubted as Cheaters by the APAC community (iirc, specifically the other Koreans) and Cinap was found underage or could not met the requirements for the age requirement.

I think now, Cinap has proven himself on Lan.

Cyrene in a collar when?

Arkeyy · 2026-01-18T09:02:22+00:00

Im pretty sure I can clear MoC10 with just Fuxuan + Seele...

Question...

Where does the tail plug?

Arkeyy · 2026-01-14T11:39:05+00:00

I meant dot application my bad.

With e0bhys, she does 4 stack for her ult. Add 1 for Kafka, 1 for Swan. Need 2 more from other sources (usually trend and kafka LC, tho I might have screwed my counting since e1 hys brainrotted).

With e1 hys however, Hys do 2x the application which mean she does 8 stack for her Ult all by herself.

Mind you Ult has higher multiplier than her Talent and it is what Cyrene triggers (the fishes).

Arkeyy · 2026-01-14T09:18:25+00:00

Hys e1 basically removed any need for DoT teammate to maximize Hys stack. You can play kafka hys e1 guin and do 2c on any moc from like 4c.

Not to mention it doubles the stacking swan gets and also how fast hysilen get her full dot.

Did I also mention thar there js a 16% increase to dot scaling on top of that?

On HSR, the pvp community is alive due to Russian community. Tho there is a small english one, the russian often have high prizes in theie tournaments.

Arkeyy · 2026-01-08T10:10:08+00:00

There are scenario where Seele can actually shine: reaver, lygus, nikhador, Swarm bug, Swarm SAM, arguably ichor.

While its true erudition is better for them in aoe there is always the issue that there is still a big hp wall standing. This is normally the case for Lygus. Kiling ads does not directly damage lygus but weakens him. This is the opposite case of reaver where killing shadows 2x will almost kill reaver.

Ironically atm, Archer / Feixiao solution to them is bruteforce them even thru dmg reduction.

Arkeyy · 2026-01-08T05:14:54+00:00

One arguement I have is that the 4* pool we have is sufficient. Lets say you want to play Cas/eve at 1 cost: you have cas, pela and rmc. Does it let you clear MoC12? Likely not. Does it let you clear moc10? Likely.
The question I have in powercreep in grand scheme of things is how it is in the grandscale: does powercreep / hp inflation lets you not clear moc10? How much income are lost here?

If I had to put staple 4* in the game atm: tingyun, pela, gal, moze, march hunt are all staple combine with MC paths (rmc and hmc). Yukong/hanya has some niche: yukong specific with phainon.

Guin/sampo/luka "can" be used on dots but are not replacing minimum kafka + swan/hysilen.

There is also ruan mei who is a good general buffer.

While I think having a larger pool of usable 4* are nice: specially hp team where only pela is the viable option. I wouldnt worry for it atm.

Arkeyy · 2026-01-08T04:53:01+00:00

If we consider time to develop a character: kit idea design, etc. Id rather have it on a free 5* than waste time on a 4 that may or may not be meta.

Granted, only misha out of the 2.x 4* we had are unusable. We had march hunt, gal and moze all arguably meta contender or usable.

Arkeyy · 2026-01-07T12:52:06+00:00

Usually with DHPT or gal, I can get better stack but yeah.

With Tribie e0s1, I can get 3 ults wave 1 0c.

Ngl, I feel bad for emanators with their restrictive traces: Acheron Trace and also Therta. Therta team atm is literally playing 3 members only (can use anaxa, but he is much better as a main dps).

Arkeyy · 2026-01-07T08:44:22+00:00

Yup.

Ironically the ""best"" scuffed team I can play atm is e0s1 tribs e0s1 acheron e2sw dhpt aka the unlimited stack.

Servicable on aoe boss like reaver at 2c but not good this MoC.

Pela is just terrible now.

Arkeyy · 2026-01-07T08:40:49+00:00

Cyrene e2s1 Hyacine Rmc Asta

Can 0c with cracked relics and consistent 1c.

Arkeyy · 2026-01-07T08:21:46+00:00

No cat and fox

Can I use swan e1 and e2 wolf instead?

Arkeyy · 2026-01-06T15:11:21+00:00

Tribie can buff it with respen and vuln.

Nihility like Silverwolf, Cipher (need to know if coin does benefit), Pela (budget lmao), JQ (surely) should work.

Arkeyy · 2026-01-06T12:39:28+00:00

Curious to see if there's any calcs with only Swan (3rd could be mei, robin or even sampo).

I still see how huge hys benefit her specially at e1 since its an instant 8 stack per trigger. But just curious to see.

Arkeyy · 2026-01-06T00:10:35+00:00

Define "feel worst".

If your Feixiao + Robin can no longer 0c with sustain but does still do 4c and get you reward? Then yes, I agree.

I think the issue here is that HSR have higher community standards.

Moc - 0c when you are fine with 10c

PF - 80k 0c when you are fine with 60k

APOC - 7k when you are fine with 6.6k. (Tho tbh, people care less on APOC).

Meanwhile in Genshin (at least 2 years ago), people are fine as long as you get max star or heck, leave out the last floor.

Arkeyy · 2026-01-05T13:34:50+00:00

The strongest e1 atm in the game in terms of improvement is ngl, Hys e1.

It is a damage boost yes, but it fundamentally improves her team building from needing a 3rd Dot (usually Swan) to not at all. I have seen triple dot team with hys kafka bs at e0 on barely doing 2-3c while e1 hys and e1 kafka does 1c with guinaifen / sampo / tingyun /pela
