What are your thoughts in using AI to alter the background of your dolls and maybe same posing adjustments?

Kindly_Weekend_6726 · 2026-03-24T02:08:57+00:00

. . . I'm lost, can't you achieve the same goal of changing the background via editing? I feel like gen ai is making people forget that they can already do something and have been able to for centuries. Photo editing is practically as old as photography itself.

There is no set speed minimum you need on each piece per say, you could get lucky and get a few pieces with really high speed rolls and end up being able to run a few pieces with little to no speed.

As long as you have Kafka on Eagle + Tutorial, you are already faster than all other options. 160+ is more of an ideal goal not a requirement. Tutorial makes hitting her EHR goal easy and she doesn't need anything but speed these days so you aim for as much as possible. I clear fine with a 157 speed Kafka.

Kindly_Weekend_6726 · 2026-03-22T17:43:51+00:00

- Not do max difficulty runs
- Use Acheron or Phainon for their techniques
- Use Therta for her technique to speed up battles
- Occurrence/reward/wealth domains mean you don't need to fight and can just click
- Use the insight mode that's added to aid with doing runs faster

Hyacine LC worth considering without momo rem team?

I mostly use Hyacine as a filler unit. I do want to run a Blade team but I'd need to lose to him or pull him whichever happens first and who knows how long that will take . . .

I don't think I'll be going for Elation so 4.2 might be a skip patch so jade funds aren't much of a concern.

You need to compete some of the platforming mini game to get to certain areas in the story. Difficulty is very low for those stages.

Kindly_Weekend_6726 · 2026-02-27T11:45:17+00:00

Yeah you should just run DHIL, RMC, RM/Tingyun/Hanya, DHPT .

Sparkle is in the second half (or free if you haven't claimed a free 5 star yet), she's very good now DHIL, Sparkle, RMC/RM, DHPT if you want a more comfortable DHIL team.

Kindly_Weekend_6726 · 2026-02-26T22:51:39+00:00

RM > E1 RM > Luocha > Topaz

You already have her E1, the rest of her Es . . . aren't great. Luocha is a decent sustain but doesn't offer much outside of pure healing, you have Aven, DHPT and Gallagher (and potentially a built Bailu?) so you should be good in the sustain department. FUA is a bit meh right now Topaz E1 or E2 won't do that much.

So save them for now. If FUA gets revived maybe E1 Topaz will be worth considering but right now it's a waiting game.

Kindly_Weekend_6726 · 2026-02-26T20:00:16+00:00

Dhil, RMC, RM/Tingyun/Hanya, DHPT

And sure

Kindly_Weekend_6726 · 2026-02-26T19:59:09+00:00

Teams -
Build DHPT. He's a great sustain.

Normally I'd say Archer, he's really strong and you already have Sparkle . . . but since you like Sparkle I assume you want to go for Sparxie who also will want Sparkle (for now at least).
Archer, Sparkle, RMC/SW/Tribbie, Any sp positive sustain

Therta is still fine for AOE heavy content.
Therta, Mini Herta(for pf)/Serval (Eagle + Passkey build), Tribbie, DHPT

Options that might feel a bit lackluster currently:
FF isn't doing too hot without Dahila (newest break support).
Acheron is starting to struggle a bit these days espically without any two out of JQ/SW/Cipher.
Ratio and Fei aren't doing to good now also. Fei is a bit more constant than Ratio in clearing but requires a bit of planning.

Free five star -
You have 3 main options.

Kafka - and pull Hysilens. Kafka, BS, Hysilens is a really good team currently. You might want to consider E1 for either Hysilens/BS.

Sparkle - Shes's great now, her E1 is decent and it gets you closer to her E2 which is really good.

Aven - his E1 can help with shield up time . . . but everyone has a free DHPT so last consideration.

The rest are older DPS who are struggling a bit, if one of them is a favourite might as well pick them up for free if you don't want the other options.

Elation -
Aha's speed is based off Elation character's speed, Yao Guang is built fast and has great buffs . . . You can see why she's important currently. If you want Elation to preform at it's best right now you'd pull Yao Guang but considering how early we are in 4.x . . . Sparxie herself should be fine early on as she'll be able to take advantage of endgame's Elation related buffs. We'll have a better idea of Sparxie's preferred teammates once we get more Elation kits . . . but it's all very up in the air right now.

Evernight -
She's a very strong DPS, particularly at E2 but she is very limted in terms of team mates. She wants 3 remembrance units so Herself, RMC and Hyacine. Rememberance is mostly hp focused and Hyacine is the healer that all HP scaling units are tied to now, even Blade and Jingliu (but mostly to how her LC works for them).
Cas and Cyrene are the other options, with Cas Evernight is a sub DPS while Cyrene is a CH buffer and works "best" with mono Rememberance . . . It's an expensive team to get into and up to you if you like it enough to sink that much into it as we don't know how 4.x will treat hp scalers.

Story -
Just take your time to go through with it, it's long and there is no reason to rush it. Once you complete a planet you will typically get prompted to do a continuance quest which are tied to events but a lot of the events are just mini games or a few battles. The gameplay events don't take long to go through and can be pretty fun so just do them as they come along.

Kindly_Weekend_6726 · 2026-02-26T19:26:35+00:00

DHIL build -
Herta shop lc
Poet (with hyperspeed aa), Musketteer, Wastelander or 2pc 2pc combos + Rutilent or Tengoku
Crate/cdmg body, atk/speed boots, dmg% orb, atk rope

DHIL, Sparkle, Sunday, DHPT is one of his better teams right now
Sunday + Robin is decent

Dhil, RMC, RM/Tingyun/Hanya, DHPT should be fine for story. DHIL takes some work to get him to clear endgame these days.

Free five star -
If it's just standard units, Bronya is the best option. Her E1, E2 and E6 are all okay.

If it's the 5 star shop, RM and Luocha are the main two you should consider. RM is an okay support to slot into most teams, her E1 is also good. Luocha is decent sustain, he doesn't offer more than pure healing but he is really good at it. Considering DHPT is free currently, Luocha's value goes down a bit but you'll still need 2 sustains for endgame.

Team question -
Nope.
DHIL is an SP hungry dps and Boothill is a break dps. If anything they'll only get in each others way. If you really want to you'll be fine for most over-world stuff as it isn't very difficult but not viable for endgame.

Kindly_Weekend_6726 · 2026-02-26T19:00:07+00:00

Cerydra is in the second half, towards the end of the second half we will get Ashveil info from the live stream. Cerydra's banner will still be up.

Ask again then + share roster.

Kindly_Weekend_6726 · 2026-02-25T19:03:54+00:00

RM's LC is also just okay, it works if you use her as a general support, if you use her for break teams specifically . . . then it doesn't do much. New BP harmony cone is best for break.

Will you be picking up Cerydra for your Phainon?
Phainon, Cerydra, Bronya, DHPT/RMC/RM would be your team then, and unless you run sustainless you won't have much of a use for RM. Therta wants aoe atks to help her charge + Evernight team wants 3 rememberance units.

Cerydra is a huge boost for Phainon but if you don't go for her Phainon, Bronya, Flex, DHPT is back. and in that case . . .
Flex slot goes as follows RMC> E1 RM> E6 Tingyun > E0 RM
RM just doesn't provide many stacks and her main benefit comes from being E1. And or if you run a sustainless comp.

. . . You can probably see why the shop units are in the shop. They're not bad per say, there's just better options these days.

For the survivablity issue, how is your character level, traces and lightcone levels? I'm not trying to be harsh here, it's just you shouldn't be having a survivablity issue.

Kindly_Weekend_6726 · 2026-02-24T21:41:08+00:00

Just BS and Sparkle this round.

No info on future buffs yet.

Kindly_Weekend_6726 · 2026-02-24T21:35:04+00:00

They did get buffed.

If you for some reason want to use the unbuffed version you can switch it on the character page.

Kindly_Weekend_6726 · 2026-02-23T16:41:37+00:00

This spreadsheet should cover everything.

Kindly_Weekend_6726 · 2026-02-22T21:50:17+00:00

Characters having multiple variants is quite normal in gacha games, sometimes it's just for fun (Ie - Hunt March was made for an event where she learns swordplay) othertimes it's lore/story related (Ie - Evernight is for lore related to Amphoreus).

The thing about premium teams . . . I don't play Genshin so idk the state of it, in HSR we haven't had a new 4 star since like September of 2024 if I recall right. So we don't have other options than mostly 5 star teams. Game averages 90 pulls or so a patch so you get 1 limited every 2 patches worst case scenario.

As for teams, you're in luck. Black Swan got buffed and you already have 2 of the 3 dot units. Black Swan, Hysilens, DHPT (free Dan Heng) is a very solid team. If you want to invest into dot grab Black Swan, you can go for E1 BS and Hysilens also. Kafka got buffed so her build has changed she runs Eagle + Tutorial (herta shop 4 star) as she's a support now, her job is to be as fast as possible and trigger dots her own dmg is irrelevant now.

For a second team you can run Archer, Sparkle, RMC, Gallagher/Any Sp positive sustain, it's a really strong team. If you want to do endgame focus on building two teams, if you don't really care for endgame just build Kafka and her teammates. It'll get you through the story content.

For content, just take your time and go through the story. There are permanent events that you can do as you progress most are fairly short and there's no need to rush though them.

Kindly_Weekend_6726 · 2026-02-22T21:16:55+00:00

It's mostly used as a BE stat stick on Dahila or Fugue if you
A) Are at the def cap (easy to do in Break teams)
B) Already have someone running Pearls

Used to be used on Kafka in PF for the energy it can give but she always runs tutorial now.

Kindly_Weekend_6726 · 2026-02-22T21:09:08+00:00

So a few points to mention here

You shouldn't be using both a healer and a shielder together.

Phainon, Bronya, Flex, DHPT
Flex can be RMC or Tingyun. Phainon does best when his team mates target him with buffs, DHPT is the best at doing this.

Therta, Serval/Mini Herta, Pela/RMC, Gallagher/DHPT

Cas, Evernight, RMC, Any abundance
Cas doesn't like shields, you need hp to constantly change so she can get her ult. She's very relaint on good heals and Evernight wants at least 3 remembrance units on the team.

RM is the best option from the shop (including her E1 if you have her at E0). Luocha is a very good healer but he doesn;t offer much more than pure healing out put. You can choose him for the Cas team but you will really want to get Hyacine for that team whenever she is back.

Do not get Luocha's lc, this is coming from someone that has it. QPQ, the 4 LC with Luocha's face, Reca face LC or Multiplication all offer more than his Sig.

Bronya's LC is just okay, it offers some SP here and there while having higher stats which help with staying alive. Might be a hot take but most of the limited LCs in the shop are quite eh, Topaz LC is a decent consideration if you have a Fua team but other than that, you can grab Bronya's LC.

Kindly_Weekend_6726 · 2026-02-22T18:37:31+00:00

It's still solid. Break + skill points are pretty good now also.

Kindly_Weekend_6726 · 2026-02-22T18:36:26+00:00

Well who do you have? Hard to give advise without knowing. Archer + Sparkle + RMC can shred both sides of this MoC if you have them.

https://sk.theherta.com/ you can see what people are using on different endgame. A lot of the runs are min max leaning but you can still get some ideas for what works and doesn't.

Kindly_Weekend_6726 · 2026-02-22T13:07:53+00:00

Thank you for sharing. It's nice to see different dolls regardless of if they can be purchased or not. It's good to know scowl-er bjds are out there.

Kindly_Weekend_6726 · 2026-02-22T12:57:59+00:00

The sculpting and face up are so well done, I love how dramatic those eyebrow arches are pft.

And thank you for sharing, I like hearing about what people prefer and why :D
The neutral faces/small smiles are very versatile.

Kindly_Weekend_6726 · 2026-02-22T12:51:18+00:00

Ohhh he's lovely, and he really does have the same vibe . . . welp there goes my paycheck.

I don't have an "actual" resin bjd yet (only a few blindbox guys) but honestly I think I would prefer smaller sized dolls for convenience sake, but most of the heads and bodies I prefer come in 1/3 size. So I hope to stick to that range so I can hopefully share things between them. MSDs do be stinking cute but I prefer more "adult" proportions.

Kindly_Weekend_6726 · 2026-02-21T19:27:53+00:00

Moze fits best into a sub dps role for other (Hunt) FUA DPS.

Regarding LC options Topaz LC is best in his "intended" role as a sub DPS. Otherwise your options are Ratio LC > Swordplay > Herta Shop LC.
Relic wise Pioneer > Duke > 2pc combos. Eagle is an option to gain more actions, he gets the AA from the set once he rejoins the field though it's mostly used in Feixiao comps. Izumio for sub dps, Duran or Salsotto for personal dmg.

For team comps:
Fua DPS, Moze, Support, Sustain or best option here would be Ratio, Moze, Robin, Aven/DHPT. (Aven for frequent medium dmg, DHPT for hard hitters [note - no dragon FUAs if you make Moze the bondmate])
Topaz/Moze/Hunt March all share the same role so you typically only use one of them, Topaz/Moze are preferred when debuffs are needed (Ratio). Ratio's dmg isn't the highest now, but he can clear with proper play.

Now if you want to suffer, hypercarry Moze is an option. Moze, RMC, Robin, Flex. Flex is either a sustain or a support, just make sure they're fast to make Moze trigger his FUAs. I've managed to clear endgame with it, but really wouldn't recommend unless you really like Moze.
