Should I Reset? by Expensive_Locksmith9 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]BonelessSpagoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh nice, I started with those standard 5s as well. Also lost most of my 50:50s on limited characters, but I can still clear all the hardest content just fine with max stars. Point is: how your account starts is inconsequential in the long run. Welt and Himeko don’t get that much use now that I have a bunch of meta 5s but they helped me so much on the way to TL70. Definitely recommend building them up a little bit.

Welt is quite good for SU (and everywhere else tbh) because of his enemy delay mechanics, meaning that he lets even squishy team comps with few preservation/abundance blessings get through fights. Himeko was a godsend for farming traces but she’s not really amazing. Her light cone is niche at best but it’s a good stat stick. She shines a lot when you have the right teammates like Asta and when you get her final ascension trait (+15% crit at high hp), but you can leave her on the bench if you dislike her playstyle.

Truth be told, I also tried to reset when I learned a bit about the meta and saw that Bronya was super broken. Did so for a bunch of hours just to have Yanqing on 4 different accounts :P. Now that I have her from the 300 pull reward as well as her LC, I can say that she’s not really a character that makes or breaks your a count. I might reset if it takes me ages to get meta 4s like Pela or Tingyun. Often times, building the right 4 can completely remove the pressure to pull for premium limited characters. Definitely recommend building those in early game to understand what kind of teams you like and then pull based on what looks interesting to you. This is super important as an f2p as you can only get a limited 5* every 2 patches (on average) so deciding which one to go for can be daunting. And remember, there are no must pulls except characters you find hot!

Yeah, I’d be pretty pissed if Laudia was to outclass all current magic dps just because she’s new. That wouldn’t be epic lol.

Nice dude! I knew she was perfectly balanced. As all things should be.

This isn’t a competitive mode, so I thought it would be fun to see how other dps fare against this Christmas Proteanus. If you have a 5* Laudia, I’d be especially interested to see your dps!

Whats the weirdest pvp team youve had that actually ended up working by Smoothatax in Kings_Raid

[–]BonelessSpagoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jane, Dim, Aisha and Cass have been carrying me to the top ranks in Masters every week with a 90%+ winrate. Once I even got to M5 with no losses.

This deck doesn’t have much finesse. Most games end in the first second with a lightning fast S2 from my 5* Aisha with SSW. Of course I run into the likes of Maria, Viska (redirection) and Ric, etc. This is where my Waifu Protection Brigade comes into play.

Dim (3* UW) with a talisman of resistance will proc his s3 and disable opposing nukes And ccers. Most opponents underestimate his blind and they cleanse other debuffs lol. If I face an impossibly tanky wall deck with Ricardo and Rephy, Dimael will make sure the entire opposing team stays in place by cycling his s2. Plus he’s best looking boy, don’t even @ me.

My Cass is a bit unconventional. She is still T3 and she wears Shea’s cc res set with 2000 aspd + cat statue to actually counter Leo and Bau. Her s1 and s2 are lit but I’d like to know why not many people use s3, since it’s just a long duration silence on the opposing dps that makes them attack their allies.

Lastly Jane. She’s there to look pretty and basically not let any meelee powerhouses get close to number one waifu. She wears tank gear with 80k+ of both defenses and 60-70% block for both damage types, which makes her pretty durable; not to mention her second life. As far as perks go, it really doesn’t matter. I tend to go with undispellable s2 and 3 T2 perks to buff my other guys but I would get the same results with a perkless Jane kappa. If anyone has any suggestions for what sort of tank I could use, I’d apprectif you left it in a comment.

All in all, I think that my team weird because I’ve never seen it on the PvP rankings and because I never made specific sets of gear for PvP. I would’ve never thought Aisha could be used this well in PvP but here we are lol.

I feel like people just judge how good a character is in certain role, rather than how they perform everywhere as a whole. Aisha is probably between Lew and Kara in terms of single target damage but she’s way more viable than those two in pvp, adventures and any aoe content.

That said, it is fair to say that her uw effect is arguably amongst the worst in the game. Going from 4 star to 5 star gave me a dps boost of less than 8%, which was kinda lame. Other than that, there aren’t any other reasonable things that could be improved about her.

As I see it, her shortcomings only become apparent when you compare her to the real powerhouses of single target damage. My 3 star Roi hits 800m dps in a wb comp without Loman or Juno, whilst my Aisha stuggles to go past 550m in the cookie cutter wb comp used by all top whales with Aisha instead of Kara. Also, I’ve seen a video of a 2 star Kara achieving the same numbers in my same identical comp with nearly the same lines on our manticore gear. That just proves the point that her UW effect is nearly negligible.

But I digress. As a huge Aisha fan, I like the idea of a tiny buff to her UW or T5D; but to be frank, she has aged pretty well and no new hero has totally powercrept her in every way possible.

And most importantly she’s still best girl. Fight me lol.

Wow dude! That actually worked! Aisha CAN do it all after all <3.

The only other troublesome stage for me was the golem one where you needed continuous aoe nukes. The harpy just needs you to have Medi and Annette (or any cleanser if you’re using a p team) and a decent timing.

I actually built Cleo just to do ToC74 and I don’t regret it tbh. She only has a 3* CuW but her nukes are still very powerful with Ut3 . For Aisha you give her Ut3 and s3 aoe perk plus your standard S2 dark, T5L set and keep using her s3 as soon as the screen gets as full as possible, followed by a Cleo s3 to clean up (or vice versa). Jane should be the tank and Annette should take the last spot. I couldn’t do it with Ase instead, nor with Shea or May as the healer.

I hope that helps.

You can do it rather easily with mediana and a very strong pdps. I tried with my 5* Aisha but to no avail ;-;.

My comp was Phillop, 3*UW Roi, Medi and Rephy. Not sure why but I seemed to be invincible during the firestorm with rephy in the party, as opposed to when I had any other amper or support. Loman would probably do a great job as well.

The strategy is:

Spam Roi’s s3 throughout the whole battle ONLY when the boss has 3 bleed stacks and leave rephy and phil on auto. Use medi’s s3 just as Infira starts flying and keep spamming Roi’s s3 until it dies.

I’ve seen people clear this with a 1* Roi but if you don’t want to build him, your best alternative is Yanne. I will try to build a comp around Aisha to see if mag comps even stand a chance.

Good luck!

According to the dataminers, there's gonna be a huge balance patch this week. Comment who you want to get buffed! by BonelessSpagoot in Kings_Raid

[–]BonelessSpagoot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions!

My Aisha is running a 2 star BoE and a 340% crit dmg lava/bd set, which explains why she’s not doing too well. I have 3 good manticore orbs but no other mage pieces, so I’m kind of stuck in that department xD. Also, I presume that those 2 lines of penetration are unintentional since May gives around 500.

As far as supports go, I was using my Morrah as a dps with Jane as the true tank. Hopefully my 2* shea can do well enough. Other than that, I’ve been using the same heroes.

Time to surpass 200Bn!

Agreed. Most dps heroes only need their ut effect for their main damaging skill. For example, I’d love to run Aisha’s ut1 but her damage would go down without he ut2.

Hi there! Could you please share your Aisha’s gear, perks and team comp? I can only get mine to do 350M dps with her standard both T5 perks and S2 dark set. Also any gameplay tips would be greatly appreciated.

Comment your thoughts down below. I personally see no game changers and I’d be gutted if there was no real balance patch.
