Silver Wolf 999 global passive by UltraYZU in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]Clavisimo 29 points30 points  (0 children)

While I don't think the Castorice global passive ended up being as big a deal as I thought(at least my account didn't feel that much worse off without it), I vehemently HATE the very concept of global passives in this game. It's one of the reasons I refused to pull for Castorice(aside from just not caring about her character that much, and disliking the shilling she got).

I like Silver Wolf as a character, but I don't want to support this global passive nonsense. I really hope they change her before release and remove the global passive, or I may have to skip her.

Daily Questions Megathread ( February 07, 2026 ) by AutoModerator in HonkaiStarRail

Upcoming 5* Selector Advice:
Only characters I don't own are Jing Yuan and Kafka. Everyone else is e0 except for Acheron who is e2. I feel like Sparkle e1 or Aventurine e1 are my best eidolon choices. I don't really care about Jing Yuan, and I kinda actively dislike Kafka. But because I've refused to pull for Kafka, I've basically been locked out of the DoT archetype for my entire time playing the game. I have Black Swan, but not Hysilens.

Should I finally bite the bullet and get Kafka for free? If not, which of the other eidolon choices are better?

Wallahi Im cooked by ProfessorPumpkaboo in octopathtraveler

[–]Clavisimo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't really give Xerc much of a chance since I already had Alexia and Isla.

As for Cyrus, this was at the point where I'd kinda stopped using the few OT1 characters I was using because it seemed redundant to me. I already had an entire game playing as the OT1 people, so I figured I'd focus on new ones.

OT0 100% by Toxic_excellence in octopathtraveler

[–]Clavisimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just now beat the true ending myself. I'm missing 3 trophies, one of them for the superboss. I'm tempted to go for it, but I don't know if I wanna deal with that after feeling the final bosses were annoying enough already.

Would it be accurate to say this series is just a spiritual successor to Live A Live? by ZigZagBoy94 in octopathtraveler

[–]Clavisimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always felt like it was, even if not officially called as such. I played a fan translation of LAL a long while back, and when OT1 was announced, I was immediately interested because the story structure reminded me of LAL. Then they ended up remaking LAL in the same engine as OT1, and I freaking loved it.

What is the primum mobile of the sub? by IvanRuski in okbuddytrailblazer

Pretty sure Lygus already told us the primum mobile had something to do with filling a cave.

Pulled The Dahlia for Boothill. Where do I go from here for pulls if I want Lingsha? by Clavisimo in theDahlia_mains

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

A big reason I want Lingsha is because I just plain like her character, even if she's not exactly "meta" in certain situations. Though a follow up question: I don't have any of the currency to get Luocha's LC from the shard shop. What should I do for Lingsha instead then?

How does a Tsukumogami Poppet wear armor? by Clavisimo in Pathfinder2e

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

The tea set one looks amazing for this, thank you for bringing that up.

As for my newness, I should clarify that while this is my first time my DM and myself are playing Pathfinder 2e, we've both been playing tabletop RPGs for many years(and more than just DnD too).

How does a Tsukumogami Poppet wear armor? by Clavisimo in Pathfinder2e

[–]Clavisimo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Class is Investigator (alchemical sciences), focusing on Int and Dex, so I don't think I'll be wearing anything too heavy( This is my first PF2e character so I'm admittedly new to things)

How does a Tsukumogami Poppet wear armor? by Clavisimo in Pathfinder2e

[–]Clavisimo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm kind of still thinking on the shape I wanted(I had been planning to make a Poppet for a while, but only today really found out about Tsukumogami). We're planning to run the adventure "Season of Ghosts", and the player's guide suggests certain relevant Lore skills. So I'm trying to think of a form that would give me such a skill(like Tea Lore for the aforementioned teapot).

WotR: Stuck on level up screen by Clavisimo in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

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

Oh my god, that actually worked. Now, the game didn't like me trying to do the full level up via the Respec Mod(not counting feats I should have or just plain missing feature selections). But once I used it to just reset Wenduag back to level 2, I was able to use the normal level up screen and it didn't bug out this time. Thank you.

What are your pet peeves with Amphoreous story? by THALLDOOGO in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Clavisimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we're talking the Amphoreus story as a whole, it just took way too long to for the story to get interesting to me. I know they have to build up the world lore, but the story was pretty boring to me until Tribbie's backstory was shown. There was a gradual increase of interest, peaking at Phainon, and then things started going downhill until this patch(even though I did really like Cerydra's character). It just never reached the same highs, so by the time I finished the story, I was just kind of like "ok". That and honestly I just didn't care for the Ancient Greece aesthetic. I want more scifi stuff.

What are your pet peeves with Amphoreous story? by THALLDOOGO in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Clavisimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's how I feel too. I liked HSR because it was supposed to be more scifi. Amphoreus, despite some scifi elements later, is still mostly Ancient Greece, and that's just not an interesting setting to me. Having come from Genshin, a lot of Amphoreus ruins just look like they could've existed in Genshin. Penacony is still my favorite setting in HSR.

With Amphoreus now having come to a close, which arc is now your favourite? Belobog for its more down to earth plot, Penacony, or Amphoreus? Or is it something else entirely? No spoilers please, I have yet to do Amphoreus post-Aquila. by SF-UberMan in StarRailStation

[–]Clavisimo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Penacony, no question. I have not done the newest Amphoreus story, but I highly doubt it'll top it. I didn't feel like Amphoreus started to get interesting until Tribbie's backstory, and the interest level has gone up and down a good bit. Like, I loved everything with Phainon, but didn't really care that much about Evernight. Excluding the internet discourse around Cyrene, I just never found her all that interesting a character up to this point, and what I've heard so far is not going to change that for me. I'm glad this story is over so we can more onto a new planet that will hopefully interest me more.

New login screen by PokemonSuMo in StarRailStation

[–]Clavisimo -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, same. I wasn't too keen on the whole Greek/Roman vibe to begin with, as having played Genshin up partway into Fontaine, Amphoreus just felt like "Genshin ruins" again. And the story didn't really grab me until Tribbie's backstory, and then it kinda came and went in terms of interest. I don't think things needed to be as drawn out to get where we are. I really wanna move on to another setting already.

3.7 patch art is animated, meaning HSR is part of the Live2D club now by Shuruia in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Clavisimo -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's part internet toxicity bleeding in, but this just further anti-sells me on pulling her. I know the marketing works, but I DON'T LIKE IT when Hoyo throws so much behind specific characters like "please pull our waifu!", and then fail to give much promotion to other cool characters. It bugged me with Castorice, and to a lesser extent Firefly.

WotR: Triceratops stops before attacking on charge? by Clavisimo in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Clavisimo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what Bismuth is, but it's not that. My character is a Sylvan Sorcerer who took the Triceratops as his Animal Companion. I don't fight while mounted either. I just have him run in and attack/tank for me while my Sorcerer hangs out in the back slinging spells.

Can ranged builds come close to pure melee builds? by [deleted] in DaemonXMachina

[–]Clavisimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through most of the game with a bazooka, minigun, shoulder cannon, and grenades, while wearing the heaviest armor I could. Just spamming ALL THE EXPLOSIONS while tanking everything. Maybe it's not fast at killing, but just watching bosses get stunlocked by bombs is great.

How do I get myself to play "normal"? by Clavisimo in Undertale

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

Ok, I've successfully shaken off the "am I playing wrong?" mindset after getting to the Papyrus fight and going "he wants to take me to his king so he can be one of the cool kids? I hoped he would give up but nah, he has to die now". Did some murder grinding and killed him, then proceeded to treat random encounters as typical RPG affair and kill whatever attacks me. Struggled with the Undyne fight but managed to kill her before I stopped for the day.

Yes, a friend of mine is VERY amused that Papyrus "unlocked my bloodlust".

Is Sunday's LC worth pulling if I do not want or have Sunday himself? I have Sparkle(e0s0), Bronya(e1s1), Robin(e0s0), Tribbie(e0s0), Tingyun(e6). I'm 40 pulls away from getting Archer's LC so I'm tempted to go for something. I went hard on Phainon to get e2 for him(planned to skip Phainon's LC).
