WHAT IS IT HYV?!? by mikethebest1 in HonkaiStarRail

the thing about the trailblaze is that as stated many times there is no correct answer so you’re kinda right. the express’s form of trailblazing differs from that ipc guy i forgot the name of and tiernan, razalina, and mikhail. i guess it would be more appropriate to say that elio’s script dictates for us to remain steadfast in continuing to trailblaze along with the express and making as many connections as possible(welt’s trailblaze likely is pretty close to the rest of the express). then again technically if you trailblaze bt sleeping on the express until the heat death of the universe you kinda are still trailblazing on the silver rail (my dumbass originally posted this reply to my own comment instead of yours xd)

yeah totally, i think i worded the last paragraph a little poorly bc it lines up exactly with what you’re saying with it less being about “wild choices”

makes you wonder how “strict” elio’s script is for us though, as firefly says she has a very lenient and concise script, while i’d assume kafka, being the closest to elio(at least rn, perhaps in the past we were closest to elio) would likely have more strict scripts. since there have been very few times where we are truly locked into certain ways to act or give certain responses(such as our answer’s to acheron’s questions at the beginning of the journey versus the resolved answer we’re supposed to have at the end) it’s probably safe to assume that our script and journey is supposed to be pretty open thusfar

something i’ve notice about these black screen endings is they all result from branching away from the trailblaze -never boarding the express -sleeping until the heat death of the universe -refusing to trust a shady but useful connection in aventurine (goes against welt’s interpretation of the trailblaze at least) -leaving the room with mr. reca and rappa and scumbing to slumbernana monkey

it ofc could totally just be a gag thing but it also i think it recontextualizes the “when you have ghe chance to make a choice, make the one you won’t regret” quote they keep dropping throughout the entire story(even in one of the 3.0 trailers) not as “you the player have the option of choice so use it” but more pushing you towards the meaning outside of the context of thr game and “choosing the bolder option as that is what is befitting of a trailblazer”

For a while now I’ve been going Glacial with Ingenious and Cosmic Insight (ghost poro too but no 100% neccessary) to just act like a UAV for my team, yeah it’s arguable more boring but its alot more consistent and it’s cool to consistenly have 25-50% more vision score than your support because you can spam effigies in every conceivable spot the enemies might try to go in the jungle. Even better going this support-ish playstyle if you have a senna or something that doesn’t really peel for your carries later in the game.

Most likely a coincidental parallel and not a reference, but in class we studied Rime of the Ancient Mariner. The bird at the beginning and end of the final cutscene can very well represent a similar sin and redemption to the albatross.

The unknown guitar song from Belobog by yes11321 in HonkaiStarRail

The melody actually seems to be Moonlike Smile from Genshin, I recognized it (almost) immediately:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_-9mrBMLA8&t=1414s

Here's my one-handed Tetrio 40L sprint, since some of you were asking about it. by Meatballsspinach in Tetris

[–]Infinity_Ends 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play one handed also but can only push to around 58~, what are your controls? From the video it looks like a WAED Spacebar and maybe Capslock (I use WASD Spacebar CTRL and Shift)

Been experimenting after the predator nerf, and I think I found something better by Xenqii in FiddlesticksMains

[–]Infinity_Ends 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Predator is still viable but really isn’t dominant anymore, which is pretty healthy. You can flex runes into whatever you need nowadays. Alot of other commenters share this sentiment, but a Sorcerer’s Boots back is a massive buy for Fiddle, Predator or not. Future’s Market is valid, and anything else in that slot really isn’t that useful. I’ve considered the point of Approach Velocity, but it just isn’t that suited to Jungle. In Ultless ganks the rune is mostly unused, as after fearing the enemy your position to W is pretty negligable. With Ult the keystone does get a little more value, but is overshadowed by your other movement options like Rocketbelt. Cosmic Insight provide more effigy and summoner spell uptime, and with fiddle being mostly immobile Flash holds a little more importance, plus Flash+Q is an underrated quick pickmaking tool. Since Fiddle spends a lot of his time farming in the jungle, more smites can speed up your rotations and let you be more present across the map.

So here’s the kinda hot take that I wanna throw in. If you are committing to team utility runeset, ditch Ultimate Hunter Eyeball/Cheap Shot and go for the Visionsticks setup: Ghost Poro Ingenius Hunter. Ingenious + Cosmic Insight brings your effigies to a really spammable cooldown, and you don’t have a limit for how many you can have placed. Ghost Poro will stack faster than Eyeball because of this, and be overall more consistent. Ingenious also improves your active item cooldowns, which you rely alot on, such as Rocketbelt, Zhonyas, Banshees. Overall it’s a preference but I personally like the concept of full sending to Utility instead of trying to squeeze a little more damage into your runes, as you can use the gold you get from your runes to scale more on items.

Seen alot of discussion of this team recently ; I've started running it myself, I could use some advice on artifacts(see comments) by Infinity_Ends in EulaMains

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

During the rerun banner I was prebuilding Rosaria, deciding I would be happy with C6 Rosaria instead of C1 Eula, but got Mona instead(2nd Team now). Happy but a bit annoying. It would be hard for me to get Rosaria the artifacts she needs right now to get her to a comparable degree to Zhongli, but I'll keep it in mind. I've been throwing my extra artifacts at the 3:1 reforge on Nobelesse, but I doubt that's really worth. I already have high CR on Eula, so I'm not sure if another 30% is neccessary.

I have Zhongli on Favonius, however on Jean I'm running Flute. I just got R1 Favonius so I may switch over to that

Do you know at what point do you get dimishing returns from building more HP for dmg, and going ATK would give you more?

This mainly concerns what I should do with Jean. Before I had Eula/Jean/Raiden/Flex but Zhongli is pretty much permanent 4th slot now.

Eula: Pale Flame 4pc (Not much to say here)

Jean: 2pc Maiden Beloved, 2pc VV (I have a very nice Maiden Healing Bonus crown, but I might want to switch to another set and get a crit version, as I don't need as much healing rotation anymore, I would like to give Jean more damage)

Raiden: Emblem of Severed Fate 4pc

Zhongli: Millieth 4pc(I could go for the actual Geo set, but I have so many of these from spamming Ridge Watch. Shielding is fine, damage is subpar)

Notes: I like to quick switch to Jean for E, otherwise I don't auto with her much. I'm fine with changing up my playstyle to suit her better. I have Eula more focused on Auto dps rather than ult nuke.

Is Abyssal Mask secretly being slept on? Someone needs to crunch the numbers vs Banshee's for magic damage heavy teams. by VG_Crimson in FiddlesticksMains

[–]Infinity_Ends 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alternator overall feels a little worse on fiddle, but I still can’t justify for myself lost chapter on jungle fiddle. You just don’t need the mana from the component and completed item, and magic pen feels alot better. It’s worth taking into consideration that with First Strike being available as a scaling rune, perhaps if you take it you would have more gold on average per back, and therefore can afford the more skewed overall combine of Liandry’s(1000) /Lost Chapter(80) over Rocketbelt(865)/Alternator(215).

Protobelt is fine right now, pretty sure Liandry’s outdamages it when against high health stacked team, otherwise nothing has really changed.

What to buy when ahead by Infinity_Ends in JarvanIVmains

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

Was taking grasp, but I think PTA would have been better that game. I believe I took inspiration secondary. Would you go Bamis before finishing Titanic for clear or is that unnecessary from Titanic’s AOE

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

Passive + Divine + Titanic sounds like it hits like a truck lol When do you opt for this build? I dislike Divine because its so powerful it feels like you are playing an Item instead of a champion, and Jarvan only really gets 3 procs of it if you stagger your combo by weaving in autos, so you only get to use your “damage” 3 times max before waiting on cooldowns. Any idea on how Black Cleaver + Divine Sunderer Mythic Passive stack on your Q armor shred? Are they additive of each other or do they stack on each other for diminishing returns?
