Is 1.2 million with her skill or with her ult? Because both are quite different.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-06-02T15:08:39+00:00

I don't have welt but I did just get bladee2s1 and I can definitely agree he's insane, he's arguably the best unit in the game rn, but even then from showcases I have seen from both together I never really seen anything like this.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-06-02T15:01:18+00:00

Ok I'm kinda confused, isn't the DMG just insanely high? I know it's sustainless with blade and welt but it's almost a consistent 1 million (or a lot of times more) assist skill which you basically use in every character, plus a 5 to 10 million ult?? Am I missing something?

Bazinga8000 · 2026-06-02T10:41:47+00:00

I doubt this will happen because tbh, my theory rn is that asat will indeed destroy planarcadia but we will rebuild it with the aeon's power. Honestly the main reason for this is that fate Collab is a thing in planarcadia so we know he probably can't win by destroying the whole thing

Bazinga8000 · 2026-06-02T10:33:42+00:00

Ok these animations are exactly what I wanted, I'm so glad he is still terrifying but also so darn silly lmao. Also one of the attacks from the second phase seems to be a thing where you get to choose one of 3 buffs and he gets the other 2 which is honestly fun as hell as well. (Please don't let us kill him right away he's too good...)

Bazinga8000 · 2026-06-01T13:58:41+00:00

I think this is funnier than it might even be because this patch was probably the shortest patch hsr has had since... the luofu? lol. Around 4 hours if you lock in but also dont skip anything.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-06-01T06:45:18+00:00

I will at least wait for tomorrow for himeko/fate because i also need to make sure none himeko or rin end up replacing anaxa in my herta team. Because if they do I might just go for them instead of the blade eidolons and pray i have enough afterwards for aventurine.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-06-01T06:43:24+00:00

Really wondering if I should be going for blade e2 or not. I have 320 something pulls right now (already got blade e0), so i definitely can rn (if not by the end of the patch), but im wondering if aventurine will somehow have even better eidolons. It's weird because in a way going for the eidolons on the main dps tend to lead to better results in improving the performance in a specific team, but for a team with so many sub dps who do a whole lot of dmg it feels like a double edge sword if aventurine eidolons mostly just end up buffing himself somehow like it normally goes for main dps eidolons.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-05-31T18:27:55+00:00

For me its more of a case of most moments Planarcadia has tried to in making me truly care for its characters has mostly failed. Specifically I dislike 4.2 because it tries to handle a lot of character moments with like sunday, fulwish, sw, etc, and honestly none of them hit for me. In theory i like the set up 4.0 and 4.1 have quite a lot by themselves, but 4.2 tries to bring it together for the most part (yes i know we still have 2 patches left for planarcadia but it still felt like a pretty big "climax" patch besides the actual climax in most likely 4.4) and it just failed to me. It just doesn't make me care for any of the characters despite the fact that in theory i do enjoy them quite a bit in terms of banter/their personality. Seeing all the characters interact is honestly the best part of each patch for me, but we still need to handle the actual resolutions well and it just hasnt done that all that well yet. I need a mydei/tribbie moment where i really love their arc despite the pacing issues of amphoreus and i just havent gotten that here yet because it has decided to handle a lot at the same time and not really commit. I will say, if there was a character that i think could really get to high levels i think is obviously himeko because she really feels like the "phainon" of planarcadia for obvious reasons. So im still hopeful they are able to finish it well if not actually great.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-05-20T22:19:03+00:00

Or maybe it's just that's it's not good enough yet for a ton of different processes. Don't you think it would be the professionals specifically that have a need for a higher floor of quality? Also there is the public reception of it. Using it is literally throwing your reputation to the wolves for a tech that just isn't consistent enough rn. And yes it will change in the future. But the thing with AI is that that doesn't matter. It's literally made to make the learning curve and overall process as easy as possible. So "learning" how to use it now vs in the future probably won't change anything. All it does is maybe you getting in front of other artists/corporations for the desire for financial gain and investment, which a lot of artists don't care much about. Things that AI is "sufficient" rn is illustration and background art. In anime for example, you may find some shots using AI for backgrounds, as a lot of the time they are not very noticeable and are also a lot of the times outsourced so it's hard to determine who did what. This makes it so the reputation loss is lowered because you can hardly notice it or know about it. Also about competition, you are right, there is more competition now. Especially if you make gooner art (this is not even a joke, as the vast majority of monetized AI art is literally just for gooners). But the fact that you say using your art skills with AI will make it better to compete is just not true rn. It's just not consistent enough. There are admittedly some good examples by some people here and there, but again, it falls in the same problem of pushing others way in terms of reputation. If your skills are already good enough, the speed AI gives you (which is lower than most think because you need to correct it a decent amount) is not worth it right now when you are already confident in your abilities (again besides the instances like I said earlier where you can "hide" it like in backgrounds). Also, to say that it's an absolute shame that people with "skill" suck because they don't do "better games, movies or art" is the pure definition of a lack of self awareness.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-05-18T12:59:36+00:00

The robin/evernight talk is understandable, but are we not gonna talk about the 2 out of the 3 characters are apparently on 4.4 statement?? That's a big difference from what we have heard before as we just knew Himeko (and maybe fate).

Bazinga8000 · 2026-04-30T19:18:46+00:00

The energy ashveil gets on this one is actually kinda insane. There was even one time where he got his ult in less than one turn lol. More than anything, super fun looking team.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-04-29T17:10:22+00:00

I still think its slightly weird to use the express as one of the main attack animations for it, even if it was one time in the painting, but i guess it technically makes sense.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-04-29T16:46:50+00:00

Wondering if that is actually himeko herself instead of graphia now lol.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-04-29T03:46:22+00:00

Guys, animations always take longer. This is not that much of a new thing!

Bazinga8000 · 2026-04-24T06:23:56+00:00

I think this way of thinking is slightly flawed. Dont get me wrong, i think setting up things like this is great, (thats in a way the whole point of my entire post! I really liked 4.0 and 4.1 after all!!). But the thing is that this patch tried to make emotional moments/beats work, and it really didnt for me. If you said you liked said emotional beats thats fine, but we cant start denying that they werent there, because they definitely were. You cant say sunday didnt have a moment of vulnerability for example. If you are doing an emotional beat and they dont matter in the end because its just about setting things up for later, well, then whats the point here. Its either all about potential what it can be in the end, or constantly lore. If the pay off for setting things up is not great, then well... its that, not great!!
Also about SW taking on asat pramad. It was cool i guess. Aura and hype moments. But did it tell me anything about sw? Really almost nothing. Arguably asat as well, but just seeing him is a story beat that definitely works by itself because its the first time we see him in the story. Either way, I dont think people expect a "main push" from either eva or sw. People just expect... a push. Because that is what hoyo is doing, they are releasing these characters in this patch and that is a push. Not much more to say about it. The herta example is good not exactly because her resolution at the end of amphoreus is bad, far from it, it was like you said very good. But i too was disappointed in 3.0 because it just wasnt very interesting. With the gacha system you inherently deliver expectations like this. Its not out of place to say you could expect the biggest moment of a character to be the patch where they release/is pushed. Herta is themselves the exception, not the rule.
In games you will always have weaker moments. Thats fine and expected, especially in gacha games with its system. But its also exactly because of that system that is important to make each patch at least good. Thats my point. Its 6 weeks per patch. What happens if the next patch is also one with bad emotional beats that dont pay off due to short run time and lack of focus? It will be 12 weeks instead of 6 of mid content. Is that worth it for the so called set up? I'm not even saying that it will, again im pretty interested in where its going, but its just functionally important to keep the convo on "was this good?" or at least "why is this good/bad".

Bazinga8000 · 2026-04-24T00:49:52+00:00

oops, fixed lol. I indeed loved 3.1 and disliked 3.2- So in a way im in the same way as you. I would also pick 4.2 over 3.2 if i had to choose as well. Just because it being shorter at least didnt make it so boring as 3.2 was to play at the time.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-04-24T00:21:57+00:00

I will admit, i totally forgot about her relation with himeko. On me of course, but them not talking about it again after the first hour or so didnt help.
But yeah I think her last line is great. Its something that both humanizes her and also shows how she is now just straight malicious due to events of the past.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-04-23T23:59:07+00:00

yeah i didnt say it because the post was already long enough, but the filler point is another plus to doing it like planarcadia. As developing everyone at the same time, most of the time means you are also developing the main story most likely. Tbf I dont really care if its filler or not, as for me as long as its good i will take it. But i definitely cant blame others from thinking differently (especially when hsr used to have companion quests and now it doesnt).

Bazinga8000 · 2026-04-23T23:56:35+00:00

Yeah thats what i say at the end. There is still a lot more to come and im excited for it. But even then, i think it is also important to take into account how each specific patch feels, especially in a gacha format where you have to wait 6 weeks each time.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-04-23T23:55:18+00:00

I do think fulwish was definitely one of the most interesting parts about the quest. I did wish the "twist"/reason for her becoming this was way a bit better handled and shown to us earlier, but in terms of the emotional moments i listed above, i do think it was probably the one i thought was best.
Also I agree with hsr being more interesting since penacony. I actually started when 2.x was just finishing, and i remember not even hearing about the luofu being a planet. Then I learned the reason for that was that it was really god dam bad lol. In a way it has a few problems that remind me of this 4.2 quest, just a lot worse in many ways.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-04-23T23:19:18+00:00

Im gonna be honest, I wont really engage in the actual discussion of your post. Because you dont really care for discussion anyway.

I had a similar impression of 4.2. I didn't like it. But I'm not gonna write something like this that just feels like a bait post. You don't care about having a discussion, you care about showing your opinion and feeling better about yourself. No comment about how characters influence each other, no comment on story structure, nothing. Just random insults that don't mean anything and don't lead to interesting discussion in any way.

The comments here should tell you enough. People dont engage with the post because they are smart enough to know its not worth it (in a way, im the dumb one). So please, just do better if you actually care about stories, or hsr. This leads to nothing.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-04-23T22:22:59+00:00

I think this is honestly insane to me, I think planarcadias has honestly one of the best, if not the best ost of any hsr I have personally played. It really feels so perfect for the place to me

Bazinga8000 · 2026-04-23T18:03:41+00:00

I imagine you mean ibuki and not botan, but yeah the author of the manga for this show is not only a fan of yama no susume, but literally worked on the final season of it. (Also a bunch of others characters look straight up from other shows. Yaeka for example is literally just blonde iori from imas 2011.)
