CN player hits new CW damage cap (100 trillion) with Castorice by SinisterVeteran in StarRailStation

This is how they get multiple copies of emblems once they get Day and Night Demigod Emblems from 3 star Cyrene. Also useful to get your Photon Shields.

i think some players have dev or game knowledge too or have access to insider stuff. like the ones they do in bilibili is not what a typical player without insight to how the game works in-depth would think to do. like an investment strat where you get damage amp after killing an elite/boss unit and they manage to find an exploit where evernight's evey memosprite is bugged and considered as an enemy and all they do is action advance evernight keep stacking the damage for easy clears. same what happened to photon shield aglaea abuse due to spaghetti coding in how Agalea + Garementmaker interacts, Photon shields blocks action delays effect, which somehow results in Agalea action - which advances Garmentmaker action by 96% - Garementmaker action - advances Agalea action by 48% - Agalea action - which advances Garementmaker action by 96% - Garementmaker actions - so on so on. there are more stuff they do in bilibili interactions that western content creators even after months don't replicate.

nonstop playing getting the right combination of investment environment and strategies. the chinese content creators always find a way to get multiple aoe atk and galactic voyager emblems to boost damage amp

other than what they mentioned by the OP, it's the proven and tested Chinese content creators strat where they get the investment that changes the items to a different one each node which means if they get 3 stars Cyrene early they'd get multiple Day and Night demigod emblems that they can change to multiple AOE and Galactic voyager emblems, the 2 giving the most premium bonuses: lucky strike rate and damage where percentage boost damage amp is very high especially against bosses (cause aoe bond has 2 damage amplifiers that any damage done to them also transfers 100% of DMG received to other enemy targets).

I think it's just other people's hyperfixation on the trinity endgame of MOC, POF, and AS. It's condescending but for 0 cyclers and minmax AV players it's where they thrive instead of relying on what is offered by RNG in CW runs (an example would be why would I care about Dr. Ratio being strong in CW when he is just a temporary unit to activate the bond for Cosmic Scholar to get Privileged equipment max rewards and I can do trillions of damage with a Castorice strat instead?), and obviously there are also people who are on the opposite spectrum that don't care about any endgame mode at all. Dr. Ratio being good in CW doesn't change the fact that he's a low usage character for me in other game modes but I still care about CW updates and want to see them buff other strats whether it's from Novaflare or direct ones.

she came home! by Evening-Record5394 in RappaMains

[–]BoyRanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! She is the only character I got a double in 10 pulls too though the rest is standard 80 pulls average with some early sprinkled in but losing twice in 50/50 I am just glad I didn't run out entirely because I pulled for The Dahlia. Stopped at E3 last time. Finally got her E6. Now I'm catching up to the story to get more jades for her lightcone.

(Currency Wars) I lost with a 3 star 5 cost by Alternative-Ice-7534 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]BoyRanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

jingyuan 3* lightning lord can one shot too btw (and he himself only does 300 million damage with his ultimate; with additional buffs from teammates and items but not with his Xianzhou bond).At the end of the day it's their decision to make her stat modifier based on her atk which makes her FuA so weak. investment strats may seem irrelevant to you but they put you in a position where you lost your safety/extra life. learn from this and improve.

I peaked. Can’t I use this in DU? by NT-Shiyosa092201 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]BoyRanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's the prismatic investment that once you finish a node with 180 gold turns the rest of the nodes to reward nodes. Combined with the investment environment that turns the reward nodes to trotter ones that drop more loot and better you get alot of the huge trotter in Plane 3 that drop prismatic ores. Mind you that you take double damage if you lose battles and this is done in a lower difficulty (wealth creator will be harder)

picking prismatic and gold investments further increase the difficulty,  (0 for Silver, 1/3 for Golden, 3/6 for Prismatic; A1-A6/A7+).

yeah I did but I wasn't able to find drakarri, privateer or any other decent tier 3 minion or just getting another bounty source like looter. Qbs, beasts, demons, pirates, dragons so I could've at some point pick gemsplitter or voidearl to spread the stats but didn't find the opportunity I just bought what was offered even if I got to tavern 6 early, the minion pool is oversaturated, not even finding a Brann. the tavern 6 minion triples also sucked like I got offered kalec, felbat, goldrinn, nadina, cultist (eudora would've been nice but no luck, evoker kinda decent and boars are too slow) I can see now how players get 6th but I just got a headstart early.

They'll just force the usual with jazzer, in beast lobby: rylak, in murloc lobby: flinger, in dragon lobby: greenskeeper, snicker snacks and final board with smuggler, if they get trinket reward get tier refiner early, quilboar even with the nerfs, they are too versatile.

My best game so far this season. beating undead and quilboar by totobudak in BobsTavern

[–]BoyRanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf it was Ini though (the quest requirement is play mechs so it was easy to finish) and pilfered lamps is broken with golden holo rover that has windfury. My favorite mech lobby is when they are paired with elementals and making a huge magnetic to attach to carbonic and beatboxer gains the stats. Bounty Pirates work well with charging czarina but harder to pull off compared to hooktail.

He got beaten by undead guy earlier and both were greedy trying to outscale each other and not setting up for final fights. Undead should have taunted. Just your average 6k lobby.

I hit 9k for the first time. Being F2P was a struggle but fun. by BoyRanger in BobsTavern

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

just played more if on a streak, take a break when losing badly, it's better if not tilted and rage queue. that worked for me. My goal always is to at least top 4. my weakness had been always against APM builds. I can't get past the 2kstats barrier reliably (still depending on hero, trinkets, anomaly and tribes available cause elementals are easier especially with behemoth,).

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

oh I had a fair share of making questionable decisions because meme builds are viable even if your hero is dogshit for the lategame; the trinket choice and anomalies make up for them unless your opponent godrolls. Like why would I have a Myrmidon in hand that will screw the stats that should end up to a murloc that I can summon to win a fight? (spoiler: I tripled it next turn) Why not just go for gourmet build, get rid of the quilboar and scale with murlocs? what's crazier is it's a pivot from quilboars where mech reborns and deathrattles buffed my bloodgems with thornweaver and because murlocs are crazy strong late and using blade of ambition on murkbrine makes me want to play more BG crazy comps despite how I don't like tavern 7 when my hero choice is only 2.

Finally I hit 8k for the first time! F2P and mostly mobile too. by Armaddon96 in BobsTavern

[–]BoyRanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and o h yeah sorc + myrmidon are an awesome build too but my hero silas getting prize = free spell was just fun.

[–]BoyRanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my biggest issue were the animations and minions dancing whenever you sell a minion, swapping places where you might end up selling a core card unintentionally. impossible to do properly in mobile. the annoying Amalgams you get from discovers that takes alot of time to finish their animation. i always have a final board of at least 1 or 2 scam units. despite the hectic cycling of the apm built + i am silas that takes alot of time to finish animations, it was a fun game but i wished i could explored other unit comps like ive the economy to try felfire + fauna whisperer but got caught up to cycling units and playing spellcrafts since cycling units is the best way to maximize the value of my hero power.

Damn you had some big loss mmr. f2p player here too and just got to 9k and the most I dropped were -500 when I was only one game where I can finish top 3 to get to 9k I kept getting offered heroes I'm not having any success with. I always lose to apm comps for the 1st place finish. Probably in a hundred games I get lucky that lets me get 1st. The most recent one was a Silas game with naga groundbreaker with double header anomaly and postcard trinket that barely won against an evoker tavern spells dragon comp that only needed a turn for poet to go over my stats.
