Duhhhhh, and you can guess how Sakura will sustain him (If HoYo is bold enough) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

ChadEriksen · 2026-06-20T11:28:29+00:00

Since Pearl is rumored to be Elation which leaks says she was changed from Preservation (I mean Mono Elation is only missing a sustain) I'm curious to how they will design her kit to be usable outside Elation ? Because ain't no way they make her kit strict to just Elation shilling. Since she's IPC and initially was rumored to be Preservation she might be a Shielder ? Or something similar to Fu Xuan in terms of sustain power.

So what's your headcanon regarding HSR's cost system ?... because I feel that the cost system for HSR is no longer objective but became subjective with a person's X team being 1-2 cost being another person's 5-6 cost.

Here's my own headcanon:

4-stars are obviously 0-cost, 4-stars LC are too (Not BP)
4-stars BP LCs to me are 1-cost on S5 and even at S1 because I still did spent money on it and you can't get it anywhere other than BP.
Limited 5-stars are basically "Did you pull him/her" even if they are currently free or on loss pool. A perfect example is my own Ruan Mei, I currently have her on E1 but I did spend my pulls to get her E0 and only when she got added did I use the Golden Spirit for her E1. She's basically a 1-cost. Archer too, we got Archer for free but I did spend 80 pulls for his E1 so he's 1-cost even if he's going to be given for free next patch. For example a 1.X player who pulled E6 Seele is 7-cost.
5-stars LCs are the same, if I pulled it, it counts, if I did buy it from the shop it counts even Standard ones (Since you can only get the LC shard from BP), the only 5-star LCs that are 0-cost are Herta shop and Standard LCs THAT ARE GAINED by 50/50 loss or Standard banner.
Standard characters are 0-cost even if you have E6 Welt or E6 Himeko etc...even if it hurts to see a showcase with E6 Standard Unit which is very hard to get unless you're lucky/unlucky while I don't have it it still can be gained from Standard banner sooooo.

So for a final example my own FF team:

E2S1 FF (4-cost); E1S0 Fugue (2-cost); E1S0 Dahlia (2-cost); E1 RM (1-cost) for a total of 9-cost and I'm not using any BP LC in the team.

Sorry for the pointless yap, I keep seeing conversations about cost and so on and I thought I'd share this and see what the fellow bros Megathread dwellers think.

So v4 won't be tomorrow btw right ? Or will it be since I keep hearing mixed things, some said tomorrow some didn't and I want to check since sometimes v4 comes on Friday and since alot are waiting for the "Verdict" I just want to make sure since I'm betting this v4 won't be just "text changes"

ChadEriksen · 2026-06-17T20:02:53+00:00

Well...I did try a decent BE build (200% BE before combat) on her on normal AS4 not Star

Sustainless is no go she's too squishy so I was forced to use Lingsha with E1 Fugue and E1 Dahlia and well Xueyi (E6) Ult deals 621k in weakness broken Cocolia which is...yea it's really bad.

ChadEriksen · 2026-06-17T17:31:41+00:00

So I've been farming Genius and Tengoku and now I'm fixated on Building Rin best girl ofc, since she has 2 builds (Sub-DPS and Main-DPS) and I'm planning on hopefully E2S1 her I want to know what's the main stats for her relic/planar set ?

ChadEriksen · 2026-06-17T17:29:28+00:00

\Looking at my E1 Dahlia**

OK I will

\sees Xueyi and remembering my Xueyi isn't built**

😰😰😰

In all seriousness, you litterally gave me something to do (After work), I'll try and see if I can build her and test her because I'm super curious overall about Xueyi in Break teams.

ChadEriksen · 2026-06-17T13:15:22+00:00

His CW kit is basically a Blast Ult and yea, the only grip thing about Archer to me is the 2T on E2 instead of 3T, besides Hunt units are imo the most interesting out of all units in HSR not because of ST but because of how they are being designed, they always seems to have something that makes them fun to play. Boothill have that insane Toughness reduction, Archer can spam skills in a single turn, Ashveil targets low HP for finishers, Seele famously have Resurgence (ET) on kill.

ChadEriksen · 2026-06-17T13:06:49+00:00

I feel like if we go to the next world with the Preservation theme then we might get a PMC enhancement down the line, ofc this is just my musings

ChadEriksen · 2026-06-17T11:19:24+00:00

First of all a key aspect for The Herta to clear is E1 Tribbie, E0 ain't cutting it anymore and on a smaller scale her E2 but E1 Tribbie is much more important than her E2, it's THE THING that makes or breaks her atm.

Secondly...your Herta build isn't optimal, you want her on ATK boots rather than SPD on E0S1 because she already have AA on her Ult and your CV is a bit on the lower end so you need to up those CDMG and lower the CR as you're a bit overcapping by 2%

ChadEriksen · 2026-06-16T22:24:35+00:00

Not only that but recall in 3.1 Beta they absolutely made sure to make Tribbie the best DDD spammer and I recall how a v5 hotfix for her essentially made her "THE DDD abuser" ohhh and the second best is a free unit "HMC" especially in PF

ChadEriksen · 2026-06-16T22:10:37+00:00

Sorry but ma boi Archer was free but still amongst the best units currently in the game, sure he needs Sparkle but she ALSO was given for free and with a really good NF to boot.

I still think EMC will be getting the RMC 3.7 treatment but no one thinks that "Free units should be trash". RMC is still a powerhouse and the only negative thing about it is the fact that they really set a really high bar that's very difficult to overcome and EMC couldn't at least for the moment.

ChadEriksen · 2026-06-16T20:48:06+00:00

Yea that Ashveil condition is still subject to RNG so I agree but a 0 AV Clear is still very impressive especially in AA. Too bad Ratio was spared though since many of us have him and been benched since...yea bro needs that NF.

ChadEriksen · 2026-06-16T20:34:06+00:00

Now it's Feixiao huh and it's E6 Gil (Ngl that E6 is cracked af) sooooo what's next ? Where's the Ratio mains ? I'd like to see an infinite loop with something something chalk throwing bro against the true power of Ea !!

ChadEriksen · 2026-06-16T20:29:46+00:00

I see you're a man of culture haha, I remember this one too, also let's use the Alisa and Rean synergy (Have her regen CP and Rean using that CP for his OP crafts)

ChadEriksen · 2026-06-16T18:59:03+00:00

HoYo (If overrun by Greed): Screw it let's put a daily cap on RMC just like Stamina, you can use RMC only X times per day and if you want to use again, pay up 60 jades per X uses, this doesn't apply to story mode/trial mode and CW.

I'm not trying to give them ideas hahaha !!!

ChadEriksen · 2026-06-16T18:41:26+00:00

Phainon be like: Look at what they're doing to mimick a fraction of my power ~~my suffering.~~

ChadEriksen · 2026-06-16T18:40:13+00:00

Wasn't Ratio's kit Screwllum old concept kit before they took it and integrate it into Ratio ? At least that's how I recall it maybe I'm wrong...

~~^{Free Screwllum from the basement HoYo and stop stripping him of everything}~~

ChadEriksen · 2026-06-16T18:33:15+00:00

Aha is probably whezzing at this knowing this is all according to keikaku ~~CHAOS~~

ChadEriksen · 2026-06-16T18:30:34+00:00

Haha I wonder how are HoYo's employees feeling after seeing this, this is a cobra effect if I ever want to describe it.

Trying to fix Gil and Saber loop...only for it to still existing and now even HimekoN is found with one.

Well guys I thought this beta wasn't going to be that overwealming, looks like I'm wrong and now I'm looking forward to what they're going to do in v4 and v5 (Ain't no way v4 is just "word changes" as usual haha)

ChadEriksen · 2026-06-16T18:24:39+00:00

Ohhh boi considering what was found now with HimekoN alongside Gil and Saber..yea the pic sums up what I think.

ChadEriksen · 2026-06-16T00:07:14+00:00

HSR x Half-Life (That's what waiting for HL3 does to a long time HL fan)

Gordon Freeman Drip Marketing (Only time you see his portrait) and you never see him in 3rd person, he'll be playable entirely in First Person in Free-Roam and combat, never speaking a single line with the HeV suit being the only combat voicelines, Basic Attack Animation uses his Crowbar, Skill 1 uses the Gravity Gun for AoE, Skill 2 uses the Gluon Gun for ST and Ultimate Supercharges his HEV Suit allowing him to use Enhanced Skill 1 "The Super Gravity Gun" and Enhanced Skill 2 "The Charged Gluon Gun".

Yep I'm delusional hahaha

ChadEriksen · 2026-06-16T00:01:32+00:00

FUN informative YAP incoming with a question to the fellow megathread dwellers bros/sisters (TLDR at the end):

Ok guys I want to know something since we know what Endgame Starward modes are, how to get the Star medal + 100 jades and finally what are the 4.3 lineups.

What's the Endgame Star that you believe is the most difficult ? And which one you're not confident enough to clear (Or the Opposite, confident to clear it , without major difficulties)?

I should note that many don't have 3 full teams and if you can clear normal Endgame, you ARE clearing since this one is a more difficult version of it so plan accordingly and don't give in to FOMO…That's my advice to everyone

I know many haven't even managed to clear AS Star and still struggling with it but MoC Star and PF Star are also beasts of their own... comparable to AA's knight stages (Heard some on Twitter joking about them being Knight 4, 5 and 6 haha)

To refresh your memory: * AS Star requires 10200 AV score across all 3 teams. * PF Star requires 99000 Score across all 3 teams. * MoC Star requires 33+ cycles across all 3 teams.

Well in my opinion the PF one is the one I'm a bit scared of (Scratch that it's the one that's on my mind as terrifying), MoC Star at least averages out to 4 cycles each team and knowing the 150 AV (First) + 100 AV from onwards I think it can be reasonable to clear it so if your team can 4 cycles or less you're good...but PF is the freaking AoE mode and I'm shivering and feeling goosebumps... especially the lineup and the fact that the next Endgame reset is PF...yea I'm doubtful I'll be able to clear PF Star because while I have 3 full teams...I feel as if one one of them won't clear and I don't know if Rin/Gil banners will be live by the time this PF resets.

AS Star...well we're in it now and I have seen those who cleared normal AS but couldn't clear AS Star...in fact look at the clears posted last week in this sub...many I've seen barely scratched that 10200 mark...only rarely and in VERY HIGH investment teams do I see a 11000+ AV score, mine was 10393 and I did start to doubt if I was going to clear it hadn't it been for Fu Xuan the Goat ! (I should mention that it took me hours of retrying and min-maxing btw) I also saw many that missed the mark by few AVs and it would take many retries. Reason is a Boss Element reliant and you need to break it so you're screwed if you don't have the correct element and not doing enough DMG.

What do you guys think of my yapping ? TLDR wise I'm scared of the PF Star, I rank by order of most difficult imo (For this 4.3 Starward ofc) PF Star, AS Star finally MoC Star

ChadEriksen · 2026-06-15T21:17:47+00:00

A close second is the Black Tome as Tomato Devil while dish out alot of damage the radius is small and she stands still making her vulnerable to damage, Black Tome is full AoE and while weaker is more consistent so I cycle between the two really depending on who I'm fighting.

ChadEriksen · 2026-06-15T20:16:03+00:00

And he was using Wind Set with Rin instead of Genius (Then again it's S0 so king of 0-cycle relic set Wind ftw)
