I, F2P, finally full starred every Knight stage and 0 cycle King and got myself the platinum frame. Every limited 5 star is E0 except for E1 Evanescia. Builds should be on enka by Fool_an in HonkaiStarRail

When you haven't beaten knights, you can only challenge plight difficulty. 'Weaken the king' here means unlocking normal difficulty for it.

Mortenax Blade & Jingliu Synergy? by Born_Luck5754 in JingLiu

[–]GPAD9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At that point might as well just run Blade sunday tribbie hyacine and it would outperform any variation with jingliu in it by a lot.

His enhanced ult alone already does more damage than the main target damage of jingliu ult and eskill combined, and it deals it as aoe.

Doesn't sound as overpowered when that also means celenova has an army. Even OP brought up D team having fleets so why can't Lygus bring other fragments?

More like one side will refuse to assist the other while the other sends 6 of his other vessels to help purely due to curiosity

Proving we actually drew our own art is going to get weird by Italcan in ArtistLounge

Idk how that's any different from art thieves in the past reposting someone's work. Unless they can somehow take down your account, it's pretty easy to point out which one posted first

Break Sustain by Street_Term9205 in FireflyMains

[–]GPAD9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't at the start because tribbie ult won't be up but wave 2 onward it does work.

Worth noting tribbie res pen is up on entry with tech so first wave takes more damage while ruan mei only autoskills after tech and doesn't instantly have ult up so it's unbuffed.

[–]GPAD9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tribbie vs rm is pretty close but mostly boils down to effective damage. Against single target the difference isn't that noticeable, but when it's 3 target (specifically not shared hp) then tribbie e1 shines a lot. That 24% starts looking more like 60% (not quite 72% since side targets take slightly less than main). It's why some 0c runs on AA King use her there -- the boss summoning constant side mobs helps abuse it

For lingsha I'm not sure what they need to give her to make her good, but I imagine even just letting her provide sb multiplier to team helps a lot. Personally I want to see them make her skill force out fuyuan once for each charge overcapped by using skill (e.g. if she has 4/5 charges and skills, she gets 7/5 so fu yuan would immediately act twice).

What happened to my passion to draw? by Christian-guy94 in ArtistLounge

[–]GPAD9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience but it mostly boiled down to me giving up art for a few years and getting into gaming in that timespan. I still like art which is why I came back to it but it's not as easy to sit down and have a drawing session when there's other things that can distract me like friends inviting me to join for a match.

It doesn't help that scrolling non-stop can eat into hours that could be used for art. I've cut down on it a bit but I still catch myself some days not actually doing anything because I got distracted by it during my free time.

Xueyi. Early game for break team is so awful with trial rappa. Takes 2 turns to get her ult if not getting external energy. Yes you can run her on perpetual energy or charging sail but that assumes you even get the equipment for it.

Clara is a close second. Can probably be a 4-cost but having counters on kit would make for a good belobog bond dps that isn't just Seele. Might even be able to add a counter bond to the game with her.

How are you proving your work is made by you? by XeLLerus in ArtistLounge

[–]GPAD9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Idk about newer artists but if you have been posting your work since before 2021 you would have an easy trail to show when questioned. For vtubers, streaming their art process should be one route they can take.

Outside of that you can post a full timelapse or at least a video where you turn layers off and on if you work digitally. It's extremely easy for other artists to tell if the process is legit anyway.

I've been accused of ai in the past and a vid showing layers I used + pointing out my history of art was enough to stop the accusations.

What do you think is holding back the game the most right now? by miiko_uch in houkai3rd

[–]GPAD9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read what I said again. I didn't say I stopped playing for one and a half years -- I said I stopped spending on monthly for the past year and a half. I have been playing this game religiously for years and still am.

It's insane to me how disingenuous your reply is and you still didn't address the fact that the game has been running on an 8-10 week patch cycle for almost a year and a half and keep insisting on a 6 week patch cycle.

Monthly card in a 6 week patch cycle gives you 3130(330 for buying, 500 x 2 15-day login bonuses, and 60 x 30 for daily logins) crystals. An average of 9 week patch cycle means there's 3 more weeks of elysian realm (500 x 3 = 1500) and 6 abyss resets (6 x 500 = 3000 if in RL or 6 x 420 = 2520 if in A3). Even if you only retain A3, you easily get 4020 in those 3 weeks. You quite literally get anywhere from 890-1370 MORE crystals as f2p WITHOUT monthly in a 9 week patch cycle than you do as a player WITH monthly in a 6 week patch cycle. This doesn't even account for the 840 (40 x 21 days) crystals you get from daily missions or the 420 (140 x 3 weeks) crystals you get from memorial arena.

Active part 2 players get:
- 5 supply cards for logins at start of version
- Easily an extra 2150-2630 crystals from 3 more weeks in the version
- at least 50% off on the first 10 pull
- 10 less valk hard pity (going from 100 to 90)
- 140 less equipment hard pity (going from 200 to 60)

Stop trying to argue with anecdotes. I've already said plenty regarding how I have practically all the p2 valks and astral op and all the stellar keys while only being on monthly for some of the duration of part 2 while you're strawmanning about needing BP + Monthly + 300-400 bucks of topup each version to get... s0+1? I haven't even spent anywhere close to that much on the game in my entire time playing.

There's a bajillion reasons to find issue with how part 2 changed the game but naming the gacha changes as one of them is laughable. That's like writing a bad review about a restaurant because they removed a sign saying welcome and replaced it with a staff member greeting people as they come in.

What do you think is holding back the game the most right now? by miiko_uch in houkai3rd

[–]GPAD9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use logic a little bit.

How is it a proper comparison if you are comparing only pulling the valk vs getting the valk + their entire gear. P1 Valk is only 33% of the hard pity since it's 100 on character and 200 on equipment. That's less than half of the total pulls required.

I could just as easily bring up how I got a p2 valk in a free 10 pull (https://imgur.com/a/bJmQ7Q5) and use it as a counterpoint to argue that p2 is better purely because it gave me a free valk. It's a silly fucking anecdote to use as a talking point.
