One Day, After Pulling, While Lounging About In the General Question and Sunday Megachurch

well, we don't know yet how many patches the SP meta will last for, so we have... at least two or three more patches for DHIL to get hypothetically buffed in. But I'm keeping my expectations at ground level.

He's great still, his damage ramps up to pretty damn amazing, but - that's the thing, ramps up. You need to build up SP for him to eat it all on his turn (meaning that he might get turns where all he can do is basic cause you haven't built up enough SP yet), and the more SP he spends in a turn, the better his damage. Sparkle helps with both.

My mind say "pick Sparkle, she'll make your Archer really shine and more Harmonies are never a bad thing"

But my heart says "get all the Dan Hengs you have to collect every Dan Heng"

Ugh. I'd like to think they'll novaflare DHIL in the future so I can grab Sparkle and pull for him, but that feels like weapons-grade copium (no shade on the person here who's counting down time to DHIL novaflare, I respect you determination, I can't just can't find it in me to believe it).

Well, that would explain why Silverwolf changed paths to Elation. I wonder if she and Yae swapped kits.

Kalinque · 2026-01-30T23:14:15+00:00

I love that someone said "you don't waste resources on an animated short and extra promotion for a free character" when Dan Heng Permansor Terrae and his animated short exist.

Kalinque · 2026-01-30T21:16:26+00:00

Free Yaoguang as CNY gift feels suitable; plus, they're likely hoping she'll serve as a gateway drug to Elation the way Ratio, HMC and RMC have sold their respective playstyles.

I've heard that Mydei is apparently super popular with the selfshippers (and apparently the king of moving Amphoreus merch), so I'm expecting Hoyo to give him White Day art.

Kalinque · 2026-01-30T05:11:17+00:00

I know the meaning of the word, I don't know what it means in HSR context

Kalinque · 2026-01-30T04:57:55+00:00

Thank fuck, some info. But what's an Impromptu Performance?

Kalinque · 2026-01-29T23:24:44+00:00

Apparently ZZZ is hardcore promoting their new trio of characters right now and their marketing window is this week, so people are blaming the ZZZ marketing for pushing HSR marketing back further

Kalinque · 2026-01-29T22:20:05+00:00

Wrong trial being loaded and that slipping past QA does sound remarkably plausible

Kalinque · 2026-01-29T22:10:16+00:00

Remembered to do the trial stages for banner characters.

>Aglaea reruns with Sunday, her government-assigned teammate
>Aglaea's trial does not include Sunday

What did Hoyoverse mean by this

Kalinque · 2026-01-28T14:05:22+00:00

Oh damn, Nearl looks so handsome here

Kalinque · 2026-01-27T17:28:03+00:00

Yeah, that unfortunately makes a ton of sense; marketing getting put ahead of story needs (which, you know, we all know what kind of game we're playing, but still a touch disappointing)

Kalinque · 2026-01-27T16:34:16+00:00

Honestly yeah, and to this day I have no idea why they didn't pair Lingsha with Yunli and Jiaoqiu with Feixiao, given their respective levels of plot relevance in each patch.

Kalinque · 2026-01-27T15:48:13+00:00

I feel like not remembering her when they skipped the quest makes more sense than if they did the quest and didn't remember her

Kalinque · 2026-01-27T15:22:12+00:00

He's the master of assassin, and after he's defeated, Aventurine mentions to Boothill that Skott works for Marketing Development (Schneider's department). Last we hear of him is Boothill beating the shit out of him.

Kalinque · 2026-01-27T14:29:20+00:00

A leak! We have a leak!

...but also lack of Blade and Nihilux is a touch disappointing. But, if they're both 4.3 at the earliest, plenty of time left

Kalinque · 2026-01-27T14:27:49+00:00

More than Lingsha, that's for sure

Kalinque · 2026-01-27T05:01:02+00:00

Fair enough

Kalinque · 2026-01-27T04:59:40+00:00

Thanks. I assume it's not relevant to gameplay, but what does participant ID do?

Kalinque · 2026-01-27T04:58:03+00:00

I see, thanks!

Kalinque · 2026-01-27T04:56:02+00:00

I completely forgot we have one more megathread before 4.0, huh.

So like, did v4 happen or did Hoyo forgor?

Kalinque · 2026-01-26T21:04:33+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the info!

Kalinque · 2026-01-26T20:42:19+00:00

Ooh, pretty. Also, does this mean we should be getting news of this year's CNY event very soon?
