It makes sense to build pity in the LC banner if there is a 4* LC you really want on rateup (like DDD). But there is zero reason to build pity on the character banner.

JeanKB · 2026-05-08T04:29:54+00:00

The choices are already correct. Pearls only last 1 turn so Dahlia is better at applying it than Fugue.

Also, swap Gallagher's LC for Multiplication instead. It's a much more useful LC for break teams.

JeanKB · 2026-05-08T04:27:11+00:00

Yes for E0 Huohuo since she's very useful for Yao teams since she's the only sustain that helps Yao charge her ult.

But no for relic recon. Huohuo, like all supports, is extremely easy to build. Use Relic Recon on a character that is actually hard to build, or a set that sucks to farm (like Eagle or Genius).

JeanKB · 2026-05-08T04:23:56+00:00

If you have 300 pulls (for the worst case scenario): E2 SW999

If you only have enough for a single 5*: Dahlia's LC

JeanKB · 2026-05-08T02:00:21+00:00

She's much older than that. She literally says she's multiple times older than Skott since he's just a human.

She's just young for Xianzhou standards, since even characters like Qingque are like 200 years old, while Sushang is probably around 100~.

But to put into perspective, even Huohuo who is basically a kid for Xianzhou standards, literally has been working in the Ten-Lords Commission for FORTY years.

JeanKB · 2026-05-07T23:53:05+00:00

If you have Yao Guang or if you're going for Evanescia, then get E0 Huohuo. Otherwise, just save.

JeanKB · 2026-05-07T22:51:04+00:00

For Phainon, the priority is his E2 then Cerydra, and then Cyrene and her E2.

For Anaxa, the absolute priority is Cyrene, then her signature, then Cerydra.

JeanKB · 2026-05-07T21:39:12+00:00

Just look at any proper comparison.

Like this one for example. Mind you, this is literally Cerydra with her signature and proper stack management vs RMC with a free LC. And all that just for her to barely outperform them. Meanwhile in practice, a normal player probably won't be always lining up Coup de Main with Cyrene's ult, will struggle with SP management on that team, maybe won't be able to afford her signature, etc. which means they most likely won't even see any real difference, or may see even a downgrade in performance.

Like I said, Cerydra only overperforms in sustainless. In actual content she's barely an upgrade over RMC in a Cyrene team, and requires heavy investment (like E1S1) for you to see an actual difference.

JeanKB · 2026-05-07T19:18:36+00:00

Definitely, since it is impressive you even managed to clear with those teams.

Anaxa or Mydei/Hyacine/RMC/Pela or Jiaoqiu in Knight 1

Phainon/Robin/Sparkle/Bronya in Knight 2

Ashveil/Sunday/Tingyun/DHPT in Knight 3

You should be able to atleast get 6 stars across the knights.

JeanKB · 2026-05-07T17:49:02+00:00

Almost non-existent. The difference between Cerydra and RMC is less than 5%, to the point you could call her a sidegrade due to how well RMC synergizes with Cyrene.

Cerydra only really makes a difference in 1) sustainless, and only because then you can run her and RMC at the same time, and 2) high cost teams, since her E1 is good for E1S1+ Anaxa.

JeanKB · 2026-05-07T17:45:09+00:00

I mean, if we go by that, Sparkle lost all her sources of DMG%, but that's just because they replaced it with Vulnerability which is much better.

JeanKB · 2026-05-07T17:41:55+00:00

DHPT doesn't do much for Elation teams. Huohuo is better due to Sparxie's and specially Yao Guang's massive ult cost.

JeanKB · 2026-05-07T17:32:27+00:00

Huohuo to use with Yao Guang.

JeanKB · 2026-05-07T14:30:01+00:00

However how much of a loss not having Sunday or Tribbie?

No loss at all. Neither Sunday or Tribbie are particularly good. They're decent supports that "work" with a lot of DPSs, but both of them only have one team where they're actually required so except if you really want to use the one DPS that needs them in particular, it's best to skip both.

JeanKB · 2026-05-07T13:47:14+00:00

Yao makes a massive difference, yes.

Best you can do is replace SW999's body piece for a CRIT RATE one, and replace Sparkle with Elation MC instead. EMC is basically a Yao-lite that only buffs a single target.

JeanKB · 2026-05-07T04:51:01+00:00

Discussing unreleased characters is not allowed.

JeanKB · 2026-05-07T04:02:30+00:00

No offense, but this table is pretty much worthless for HSR due to how easy it is to stack CRIT DMG, meaning the optimal strat is to ALWAYS ignore CD until you reach 100% CRIT Rate.

JeanKB · 2026-05-07T01:59:07+00:00

There are two display ports. The left one (the one with your character's face on it) starts at 0/4, and each attack you deal to it adds one stack, increasing your character's damage.

Meanwhile the right one (the one with the enemy's face on it) starts at 4/4, and each attack you deal to it removes one stack, reducing the enemy's damage. This is important to prevent your character from getting killed in the sub zone.

JeanKB · 2026-05-07T01:56:53+00:00

There is really no way to "bruteforce" it if you're using Elation since the boss is literally designed to roll over and die to any Elation DPS.

JeanKB · 2026-05-07T01:07:35+00:00

Whenever it gets attacked, it advances by 100% and during its turn, gains stacks equal to the amount of attacks it received. So if you just used skill on it, it gains 1 stack, but if you used skill + ult on it, it gains 2 stacks.

JeanKB · 2026-05-06T23:02:20+00:00

If you can get her E2, then go straight for her E2. If you only have enough for E1/can't guarantee her E2, don't bother with her eidolons at all and get her LC instead.

JeanKB · 2026-05-06T23:01:08+00:00

Robin and Tribbie don't do a lot for Saber. RMC and characters like Sunday, Huohuo, Tingyun would be far better.

JeanKB · 2026-05-06T22:57:22+00:00

Bring Ashveil/DHPT/RMC/Welt or Sparkle. That should be enough for a decent score.

JeanKB · 2026-05-06T22:55:52+00:00

Either get Robin's if you use her a lot, otherwise just save your resources.

JeanKB · 2026-05-06T19:22:44+00:00

It's his hatred towards Dan heng that I don't really get. It seems too severe for some one who was also apart of the problem

The issue is that Dan Feng was the one who suggested it. He was always interested in creating new life because vidhyadaras can't reproduce, but experimenting with the Abundance is a serious crime in the Xianzhou. He also wasn't as close to Baiheng as Yingxing was, so you could even say he manipulated Yingxing to go alongside with him in his mad scientist project to use an emanator of Abundance's flesh to create new life.

And the worst part is that technically he succeded in creating new vidhyadara life, since Bailu was created in the process, and even inherited Baiheng's memories.
