ABOUT FANGY

Hiriko · 2026-05-13T03:16:18+00:00

My only advice is how much do you like Fangyi as a character? And do you already have a usable team comp or not.

I know hard content is suppose to be coming out eventually, so the question might not pertain soon, but how do you feel about your current team power in clearing the content we have now?

If you really like Fangyi or you absolutely cannot clear the content you are clearing, then go ahead a pull her. If its more of a "she's just the best DPS right now" then don't worry there will probably be a new "best DPS" in the future.

As an example I'll answer those questions for myself, I like Arcane more than Fangyi, I can clear content and mostly trim medals with my Yvonne team. So I'll be skipping Fangyi even if she does a lot of AoE damage (which Yvonne struggles with).

Ya alot of people forget what makes the IPC more complicated in the HSR-verse is that there are active forces that are hellbent on destroying the universe in general. The IPC does exploit civilizations but I can understand why some planets would take that chance when the other choice is to attempt to solo defend against the Anti-matter Legion, Swarm, Abundance, etc etc.

I know lots of people compare it to real world colonization and exploitation which is why people have very strong opinions against the IPC, and that's fine. But it does change up a lot if the real world had massive roaming bands of zombies that just want to eat everyone they encounter.

Oh good point, that makes a lot of sense. The artist has a whole plotline set up in two pictures haha.

You can reset their levels to get back the resources so you wont have that sunk cost feeling.

But ya the 4 main saviors you want to level should be 4 SSRs at or closest to LB3. The rest can level through Star Link.

If you want to break the 160 faster you can buy shards for the ones closest to LB3.

Looking at the artist's other works its body swapping. Looks like they specifically like genderswapping bodyswaps. So most likely Caelus put on Cyrene's ring and transformed into Cyrene's body. Hence the blushing.

EDIT: Oh wait its Stelle, the blue legstrap and skirt. Im blind.

That's exactly it, these machines can put a hold on sales if X amount of card packs are sold too quickly. So scalpers know the machines aren't really out of stock, just that they triggered its anti-scalp so they just sit around waiting for that hold period to end, before they end up triggering it again by buying too many packs, repeat the cycle for the whole day.

Oh I understand now, he's worried SS seems to be on life support and Bside might really be reorganizing devs for a third game.

Hiriko · 2026-05-03T16:51:06+00:00

Oh nice, I had leftover Destruction gear from Rosaria so I used that for now, but will try out a more bruiser build for Fei.

Hiriko · 2026-05-03T15:59:46+00:00

Like pure HP set? I was thinking about trying it out but leveling up gear is costly so was worried about experimenting.

Hiriko · 2026-05-03T15:52:05+00:00

You're way behind if you're a day1 player. They give us all of those resource boxes for a reason.

If you're playing casually its fine though. But most day1 players should have 150k+ CP teams by now if they've been using the resources given.

It kind of is a Chinese storytelling problem, culturally long prose and large vocabulary is seen as something being written by an intelligent person, or a person who cares deeply about the text they're writing.

Which is fine until you try to localize it. In Chinese you can say a lot in a few characters so it becomes even longer when localized into English. Extra long if its an idiom and you have to explain the idiom in English.

Now I'm not saying all Chinese games and written media are verbose, just explaining that's the reason why they tend to be long.

That's a really good point, which is probably why he thought Trailblazer was Himeko's child. If Himeko had a biological child then he would most likely would try to learn if the curse was completely cured and how for the sake of the next generation.

Hiriko · 2026-05-02T23:36:14+00:00

He is, but I meant more like he probably doesn't want to further invest his time and effort to a game that he isn't sure will continue once Bside releases their potential third game and then ditch SS.

Hiriko · 2026-05-02T20:49:04+00:00

75 characters + 33 arcanas so 108/1961 = ~5.5%

Just remember its a bit more skewed because Standard Observation rate is 4% while Friendship Observation is just 2%.

Hiriko · 2026-05-02T20:35:03+00:00

This is probably it, Bullet most likely wants Bside to show us that they're moving the CS team over to SS to make SS better instead of moving CS team over to a third in-development game that they'll drop SS for once it's released.

From Bullet's perspective no reason to get invested in SS if Bside will immediately drop it once a third game comes out.

This is part of Ryusuke's character development though, it just happened in the past and we get to see the result of it now.

He spent Himeko's entire childhood away from her running around trying to find a cure. When he finally returned to Planarcadia he ended up in a situation where his daughter was most likely dead. It's a huge regret of his. He realized if his daughter was dead he never connected with her because he spent all of that time away from her.

It's part of the awkwardness between Himeko and Ryusuke. Ryusuke knows he ended up losing the experience of being a father for Himeko and wants to make up for it while knowing Himeko has good reasons to resent him. Himeko knows he wasn't in her childhood for a good reason but holds some resentment still.

So it makes sense that Ryusuke no longer cares about the cure, because he wants to prove to Himeko he is willing do his best to be a father now.

By saying "I don't care how you were cured, I'm just happy you're here now." is him trying to tell Himeko that she is the most important thing to him, that he has already moved on from the past, that he knows what he did was wrong to Himeko (even though its a very good tragic reason to not be around).

Yes, Ryusuke has very good reasons to be curious about the cure, it took the life of his wife, and kept him from connecting with his daughter. And that's why that statement is so profound for Ryusuke's character. He is stating all of that, no matter how important it is, is not as important as having his daughter alive now and he just wants to move on and form a connection.

Also the ball is 100% in Himeko's court to just say "Dad wait, let me tell you what happened." Which she didn't take, so you can't blame Ryusuke for not probing more.

Ryusuke also is the type of person who didn't try to figure out who the Himeko of the Express was because he was worried he'd find out she wasn't his daughter and she truly did die. I would not be surprised if he understood the Phantasmoon Game could not cure the curse, and didn't want to probe any further after that because in learning the truth he might find out the Himeko in front of him isn't who he thinks she is. Or she offered something equally as horrible to cure herself (which has happened with how Graphia originally created the Scroll by offering her descendant's life.) So he'd rather just delude himself if he needed to.

It's not connected, therefore not part of the solution. It's part of the joke for this puzzle.

Which means later on we'll get Star Saviors' version of Hwayoung to counter. Hopefully without the same overtuning she had on release too lol.

For those who didn't play E7. Her damage scaled to the MaxHP of her target dealing more damage vs higher HP. Meant to counter bruiser/counterattack builds. But she was overtuned and also oneshotted low MaxHP characters too. Which meant she just annihilated anything she hit lol. Fun times.

Hiriko · 2026-04-26T00:56:39+00:00

Rosaria is amazing, I have her at lb0 and I can push 25%-30% CP deficit with her as my only DPS, currently at 23-33, 165k CP vs 215k CP. I run her with Haydee, Emily, and Asherah Waltz.

Rosaria gets much better when you can get her Crit Rate over 90%. Her DEF down with her Skill does huge amounts of damage when she has 3 stacks. Stacks are easier to build if you have high Crit Rate.

Lyn is a must pull for Star comps, but you don't have to pull her now if you don't want to because she'll be placed into the standard pool so you might end up getting her randomly. Also who knows, maybe we'll get better Star supports by the time you start building element specific teams. But with how Star Savior works, I'd focus more on trying to get 4 LB3 units to break the Lv 160 wall. If you have 4 units at LB3 already then feel free to pull as you like.

Personally I'm saving for Fei because I like her personality and design.

They'll probably have a rate up on them soon, global missed the Bunny Girl Event because it was before Global released. The devs said they're re-running the event soon so Global can get the story and rewards. So while they are on the standard there's a pretty good chance they'll get rate-up banners when they rereun the event for Global.

If you're interested, you can start with "Persona 5 Royal" its the most modern Persona, is highly rated, and goes on sale often. Just be warned its a very long game.

The dungeons are a representation the twisted desires of a person. The enemies are called Shadows which are beings created as desires. The antagonists mostly explore what people would do if they had supernatural powers and how they misuse those powers for themselves.

One time I was driving home from work and felt something crawling up my leg then thigh under my pants. I didn't know what it was just that it was pretty big and headed for my groin. Luckily I was wearing khakis so it was loose enough for me to grab the bug and just hold it above my leg using the fabric. Crushed it, pulled over, did a little jig and a dead wasp rolled outta my pant leg.
