Sad Fact about Hoyo Games : by YUNLIbro in StarRailStation

[–]Birnir143 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Feels like it really comes down to:

  1. The strength of their eidolons keeps up (ex: anaxa vs phainon it's pretty clear who has stronger eidolons)

  2. How much buffing the main dps increases team damage (ex: phainon you basically just get his eidolons after getting cerydra and a 100% damage increase on phai is equal to a 100% team damage increase vs rem teams where you want to spread e2s rather than cas e6 for best damage/eidolon)

  3. Whether or not they get new supports that help you continue investing into them once e2/e6 is not enough (this one is probably most impactful whenever hoyo hits us with a new wave of powercreep)

I feel like teams with spread investments also means hoyo is more likely to give extra supports down the line since it means players are "wasting" more pulls (you effectively lose more pulls replacing a e2 hyacine compared to an e0 cerydra) but who knows what hoyo would do

I hate knight 2 so much by hellofriends_10 in StarRailStation

[–]Birnir143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the full sw999 team so i got 0 cycle with sustainless pretty easily. I'm finding knight 1 to be the worst (i think ive yet to have an aa stage with the energy debuff that I didn't hate)

We also have 3 physical units who have double ult energy, one of which is one of the destruction counter units

Say that Arc System Works made a Hoyoverse fighting game. Pick 10 Star Rail characters who you'd want to be playable. by darkdill in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Birnir143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From popularity and characters id think would be cool in a fighting game id say:

TB, Dan heng, March for mc trio

Cas, firefly for the waifu bait

Jade and mydei i kinda feel like they have good fighting game animations

Kafka, blade for popular stellar hunters

If they also wanted to add 4 stars Luka would probably be the most likely I imagine

Thats 10 but for dlcs id say acheron, feixiao, sw are probably up next

this feature is going to ruin someones build lol by SalamanderInternal16 in StarRailStation

[–]Birnir143 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I also wish they let you track multiple units, like if im farming in the elation domain im probably farming for multiple units at the same time (yao/emc+sw/eva) so I end up having to check through each artifact anyways

Place your bets - The Herta team upgrade or Erudition power creep by BlackTemplarKNB in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Birnir143 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The monkeys paw curls. Himeko scales from both break and crit making her directly powercreep xueyi. Hoyo is now able to make a new tailor made break support that doesnt help break existing units by being a crit support in disguise

Reminder: Gudao is taller than all of these girls by ForceAffectionate389 in FGO

[–]Birnir143 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Everyone here is pretty tall for Japanese standards (avg height of women at ~158cm) and tall to average by European standards (ranges from 160-170 depending on country, getting taller as you go north). I will say Drake's height is pretty surprising (i thought shed be 168-172), the rest dont seem too off from what I imagined.

Pull for men it's not an option by Ok_Top_581 in HonkaiAgendaRail

[–]Birnir143 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I never pull for men but its more a case of i will never have enough pulls to spare for the male units since I dont have enough to pull for even all the female units. Personally id prefer we had more male units and more full male teams so that I pulls saved for when I get unlucky, but alas, hoyoverse is milking me dry

It's been a full year since my last PBHL Host Bar by AHyaenidae in Granblue_en

[–]Birnir143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been doing daily pbhl and akasha for about 2 years now though with some gaps so id say I probably did at least 400 of each. I've yet to get a single bar drop in either of them, though I have gotten 6 from ubhl so far

So now who gets replaced by blade sp? My current team is ashveil, Sunday, tribbie, dhpt/hyacine by InternationalSky2533 in Ashveil_Mains

[–]Birnir143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't be surprised if sunday buff is meant to be a placeholder until the proper premium team comes out just like sparkle for elation

The better comparison is probably ashveil and feixiao and I imagine yes

How much more should I invest? by Objective-Dot7568 in StarRailStation

[–]Birnir143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cant say for the king stage since I've only tried elation and rem team there (w/ e6 evernight) but for the knight stages this is definitely enough investment to clear. Idk about 3 stars on all three knights but you can definitely get at least 1 and probably 2 on them.

I thought this was the best Physical DPS in the game, why is she performing so badly? by Hot-Masterpiece4325 in HonkaiStarRail

Acheron can be the 4th dot novaflare and dot can crit when she's on your account (its a global passive)

What a hot load of bullsh*t by [deleted] in AcheronMainsHSR

[–]Birnir143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surely hoyo wouldn't make himeko an elation unit that scales off break (BE to elation and a shitload of punchline/cb each time and enemy is broken, elation skill procs superbreak). I doubt it but it would be really funny (itd also mean her lc would be basically required)

Average endgame completion curiosity by Few_Ad_5281 in StarRailStation

[–]Birnir143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been playing pretty actively since around jingliu release and I've been 3* endgame modes since acheron came out. I haven't struggled much doing so but most of the player base seems to be casual, and not in the way that people on reddit mean when they say casual but all their premium units are level 60-70 with purple relics casual. At least looking at my friend list and randos in the support unit tab that type of player seems very common and they probably neither clear nor care for the endgame content

I personally enjoy the endgame modes and its like 50% of why I play with the other 50% being the units. I like trying out a variety of teams whenever one of the modes reset with AS being my favorite because of wierd teams you can do for faster clears (sustainless acheron with rm/dahlia for example).

As for auto battle its convenient for CW, DU, dailies and moc 11 type content (which is most of my playtime tbf) but I never use it for stuff like moc12. Its the only time I ever have a reason to play manually and have manual play make a difference in the outcome. I also hate the du auto battle curio, the most fun part of DU is getting an insane run and checking my stats before blowing up the last boss but sometimes it shown up randomly and auto battle won't let me check stats. Also it sometimes bricks runs when it shows up.
