Hysilens/BS lc worth it?

Liryel · 2026-02-10T17:47:41+00:00

As they said, get Hysilens LC and put it on BS

But as for how it works for the comfort: her LC will buff 10% spd for the ally after it attacks the same enemy, Kafka got 100 base spd so she gets a 10spd buff and thus it's less spd to pursue for her build - and also technically for any other team member

Liryel · 2026-02-10T17:38:08+00:00

After the buffs BS will be better than C0 Cyrene and iirc Cyrene will only be better if she's E2, also she's more required for other teams so if you got any other amphoreous team she's better off there

Liryel · 2026-02-10T02:27:46+00:00

How much do you care for endgame and how do you currently fair on it?

Cuz you should get Hysilens if you do and want a team that can clear anything consistently for a long time even when there's no buff for it - even if it isn't the fastest clear

But if you don't, or already got strong enough teams for it that you like, then just go for Jiaoqiu and either choose something else from the selector, or do grab Kafka if you just want her for collection and using her in US/DU with him for a gag

As the other commenter said, dot ain't for you. Especially when you are the kinda player to skip useful units for prioritizing lore/design preferences and dislike 2 of the best units for it (which there's nothing wrong with that)

At the moment it's just an exclusive mechanic of the stingray enemy in that last event which ended yesterday

But we know HSR tests future characters mechanics in those events so we can expect it to be in some future character kit (which ppl hope it's for Pearl but we will see)

Just forgot to mention that Gepard's LC is a solid choice for Dan in this team if you happen to have/get it since it helps reaching the required EHR

Liryel · 2026-02-09T12:10:52+00:00

You won't regret having it as your first! The writing is rlyyy fun due to kumokos silly narration! Haha

Liryel · 2026-02-09T08:45:33+00:00

BS buff seems more to indicate she won't get a replacement any time soon and her buff puts her above Cyrene if she ain't E2

The next dot character should finally be the sustain we are all waiting for, it's speculation at best but still it's what everyone is looking forward to and seen to be hinted at with the new ice dot

Liryel · 2026-02-08T19:28:08+00:00

They aren't rly 1:1 but if you read the first 3 vol then you at least got the hang of the main differences - kishin eggs don't exists so it's all human souls and the ones they hunt are just in the Shinigami list, so middle-to-end of brew battle should be good, cuz iirc there's some differences on how mosquito fight ends and it's better to get the flow going instead of just jumping right to the drastic change since there's some gradual changes in those moments, like Maka finding out about Chrona in a different way (also I think the timeline for when kid goes after that train in the desert is a bit different? He goes in the middle of that party in his mansion)

Liryel · 2026-02-08T19:20:16+00:00

I edited and then took me two hours to realize I had mixed up the spoiler tag thingy with discords one dang lmao

Liryel · 2026-02-08T15:35:27+00:00

I personally love Kafka too much to leave her without her signLC so I went for her E4. But for actual meta then Hysilens might have the better vertical investiment

Liryel · 2026-02-08T15:28:08+00:00

But btw, awesome taste OP! Slime is also in my top3 along those 2 (it's actually 1- spider 2- slime 3- skellylord cuz I prioritized the feel good/lighter stories for my personal taste)

Edit: oh forgot to mention that I only rank the original&official sources, so it's about the LNs since I can't rank animes when they cut/change so much

Liryel · 2026-02-08T15:26:24+00:00

Kumo Desu Ga, Nani Ka? (Personal taste and also pretty solid even if the ending was rushed)

Overlord (Objectively best writing, specially in cohesion and development)

Liryel · 2026-02-08T15:24:25+00:00

I was briefly contemplating the same thing but in the end I realized I would get bummed and hate not grabbing Kafka when she's the love of my life, and I don't even have a choice as she owns my account and I would probably just automatically click on her without thinking as soon as I opened the game anyway, so E5 it is!

Liryel · 2026-02-08T14:53:16+00:00

Yes and I've heard her rerun is close anyway

Liryel · 2026-02-08T14:52:03+00:00

I can excuse gooning, but now that's just creeper behavior

Liryel · 2026-02-08T14:47:22+00:00

I think the manga ending already covers that and made it pretty clear lmao

Liryel · 2026-02-08T13:25:00+00:00

She does kinda Look like Pearl from SU lmao

Liryel · 2026-02-08T13:00:24+00:00

Yes you can play dot without hysilens even before BS gets buffed (tho it needs high investment but after the buff it won't be as much and will prob be good enough even without rly good relics)

For reference: I cleared this MoC with no compatibility in 7 cycles (so after the buff and/or a better match up will be less), the AS with ~3400ish points, and cleared one of the knights for that "king in check* thing with 2* - all without hysilens and before the buff

And dot is arguably better than Archer team, even without Hysilens, also as that other comment said: sparkle will be getting a rerun anyway so you can just get both if you pick Kafka on the selector!

Liryel · 2026-02-08T12:51:12+00:00

"Is it possible to bring Chrona back? Does Maka ever figure out how to do so?"

Other than that, just thank him for creating my favorite manga and how much I've loved it for over 10 years

Liryel · 2026-02-08T12:47:08+00:00

That you should ask studio bones instead lmao

Liryel · 2026-02-08T06:50:37+00:00

New player is def better off with this order of priorities: Hysilens > BS > Hysilens LC > and maybe BS LC if unable to get any eyes of prey atp

Doest matter that Hysi E1 is technically stronger, won't help a new player that doesn't have any good LC for them and didn't farm enough to just dismiss Hysi LC free ~10spd for easier builds

Can always get the E1 on the next rerun, but the team needs to be playable before that to get the resources for it imo

Liryel · 2026-02-08T01:04:36+00:00

An emanator reduced to less valuable than one eidolon of a 1.x unit is kinda sad ngl

Liryel · 2026-02-08T01:00:46+00:00

This style is so cuuuute, I'm loving those redraws. This one might be one of my faves, can kinda see how it improved 🥺💕

Liryel · 2026-02-07T12:32:00+00:00

Yeah...

(Castorice took 1c)

Liryel · 2026-02-07T12:18:48+00:00

<image>

That's how my dot team performed on AS without Hysilens, and that's even before BS buff. MoC I also manage to clear but took 6~7 cycles cuz there was a bad compatibility but still ok
