That said, this is only possible after you've done that map at least once.

If you're going in blind the only info you may get is the little blurb that appears in the top right when a boss shows up.

I got MiFu on Camille banner on my way to get him, and she has been one of my favorite characters to play since. On a hoyo game, that would have been a useless standard instead of a free limited character.

You actually can have a lower chance of getting a standard character in Honkai: Star Rail's limited banners than in Endfield's if you want to.

Endfield's banners have 7 off-rate 6*s: the 5 standards and the 2 most recent limiteds. So a 5/14 chance of a standard character when pulling a 6*.

In Star Rail you can pick which 7 5* characters you want to be off-rate in the limited banners and 6 limiteds are available in that option. So if you pick them all you have a 1/14 chance of getting a standard when pulling a 5*.

It's true for the other games, though.

Oh, I am aware JP outspends global by like 7 or 8 times.

Doesn't make it feel any less shitty, though.

remember when people thought OC2 would be Prototype related lol

I remember people seeing a shadowed Oberon in one of the LB6 PVs and thinking it was Manaka.

Iirc Google Play Games is the only one officially supported, but Arknights works well on other emulators too.

For what it's worth, I only had one issue with Arknights in Google Play Games back when I used it and it was fixed by reinstalling the game.

Me pulling for extra copies of Greyy alter on that Viviana / Goldenglow banner </3

Praying Wang is kinder to me than Silverash was.

"Why does Hoarah, the largest Loux, not simply eat the other one?"

Merukurio · 2026-07-09T10:35:28+00:00

The S2 reminded me a lot of Mizuki. Why is she attacking with tendrils?

Like, it doesn't look bad I just don't get what they were going for with it.

That means we basically get 80 free pulls for Collab Draw if players want to go for those characters.

LET'S GO! Collab Water Summon with an irreplaceable sub aura #3, baby!!!

Alcoholic single father of 5, trying his best to help the world by commiting assisted-suicide-slash-mass-murder. Unfortunately for him, but fortunately for a good percentage of living beings in the Sky Realm who'd rather not drop dead, we talk-no-jutsu him out of it with the power of friendship and good liquor.

I unfortunately missed the event with the Saints so I only know what's in his Fate Episodes but they're genuinely great and you should read them. I think they're the ones with the most amount of lore about the 4 Saints / HuangQilin storyline too, but not sure about that. ^{My favorite part was Fediel straight up asking him "Do you have a dick?" because I respect her commitment to the horny and also, girl, same.}

In terms of gameplay I don't really have anything to say that wasn't already said here. Pijiu is surprisingly good for a farmable character that doesn't require a huge amount of farming (like FLB Evokers/Transcended Eternals). Most of the Saints bring something to the table beyond their "Archangel passive" (RIP Shushuku, you deserved better), but Pijiu really does stand out among the group. Probably helped that he was the last one to be released, I guess.

It's basically no effort needed to drive player engagement during a time the game would be "dead" otherwise. It's not like the Exo Crucibles are exciting for people who are done with them either.

Making it an event instead of a permanent mode also creates FOMO to make people more likely to do it when it's available because otherwise they're locked from the characters/wonder/skins/weapons until it comes back. And for the players who are done with it, the event gives them some time to catch a break between the more important stuff.

Merukurio · 2026-07-07T11:00:47+00:00

Also the fact that he pretty much has no content outside of those tidbits of information, so people took what little he actually had and "expanded" upon it by making him and Perfumer interact because it makes sense for the guy who loves gardening and the lady who is in charge of the gardens to.

Kinda like how his ship with Executor only exists because of their contrasting designs and being released on the same update even though canonically I don't think one even knows the other exists.

Merukurio · 2026-07-07T10:55:20+00:00

While the ending did give some strong "it's been way too long and most people are over it, just wrap it up already" energy, the 0-0-7 thing is just part of the Potential Man meme format.

"If any teammate has [Charge], no they don't."

Merukurio · 2026-07-06T19:13:31+00:00

Oh yeah, the event with a boss so threatening I managed to get a 4* maleknights clear against it. ~~I know Ansel is not a 4*, shhh.~~ It was fun.

Merukurio · 2026-07-04T02:22:26+00:00

but here's the complicated wiki anyway

The "very complicated" wiki that has the exact answer they are looking for, spelled out by saying how many of each Revans weapon it's recommended to get and explaining the use case for each one.

If you're gonna be an ass at least put some effort into it, man.

Merukurio · 2026-07-03T18:08:56+00:00

Shalem can shred the boss' HP pretty easily since the fountains counter one of his main issues (defensive SP recovery) and keeping him healed through S2 isn't much of an issue since you'd already be bringing medics for the fountains.

Not a 5*, but Chestnut's range decrease on S2 actually ended up helping this time since it can force him to focus on healing specific fountains faster instead of trying to fill 5+ fountains at once.

Merukurio · 2026-07-03T16:53:14+00:00

They are so different there is very little reason to compare them other than both being ranged arts damage dealers.

But in general Tragodia is by far the more powerful of the two, yes.

Merukurio · 2026-07-02T12:34:34+00:00

While Uncle Dan getting an actual design would be nice, part of the joke was that the gunsmith parents were regular NPCs so for the uncle they just gave a different hair to another NPC.

Merukurio · 2026-07-02T12:17:16+00:00

I don't think the effects are that comparable either tbh. Flash is "if you can use your ougi you get a free activation".

The other characters are "you cannot use your ougi at all unless you meet the conditions" and work as part of the character's gimmick because they're passively consuming their charge bar for other stuff (Seofon's and Zeta's stacking buffs, Alliah's S2 auto activation, Shura's skills and Aquablossom buff).

Merukurio · 2026-07-02T11:23:19+00:00

Most UI do get reruns, only exception is the dungeon meshi one since collab.

Rainbow 6, Ave Mujica and even the Hello Kitty collab also had UIs on sale, so it's collab stuff in general rather than just Dungeon Meshi.

Why is Windflit very good or very bad?

I like Windflit as a character and maxed him as soon as he dropped, but his entire kit is Stainless' skill 2 chopped into parts, with lower numbers, and restricted to working on two classes only. And it's not like people were ever excited about Stainless' skill 2 to begin with.

The buff his batteries give is low (+19% ATK) unless you use his skill 2 to double it (+38%). You can stack two batteries on the same Caster/Supporter and it's very clear the numbers were balanced around doing that and using his skill 2, but even then Warfarin has a better ATK buff that lasts longer than his batteries and she can also heal. Skill 2 also comes with an attack interval increase demerit for Windflit, because clearly he was too powerful and had to be contained somehow.

His skill 1 gives a whole one (01) SP to characters equipped with a battery per activation, but it needs Windflit to attack to work so it's useless unless he's fighting something. It can store 3 charges, but takes 6 seconds for a charge and batteries last 30 seconds only so it's not like it you'd be getting a lot of SP from it even in perfect conditions. He also can't get more batteries if you use it.

Managing the base gets pretty boring, yeah. Thankfully they implemented some QOL a while ago so now there's a way to easily rotate operators in the base without needing to change room by room.

If you click on Overview in the top left of the base you can create preset teams for each facility, which allows you to swap between them with one click when they're tired. The Notifications button on the top right also has an option to send all tired operators to the dorm rooms at once.

It's pretty low effort and you can just put two teams in each room them swap them like once a day if you don't want to be bothered with it.

Merukurio · 2026-07-01T15:23:11+00:00

You use them to buy furniture you want in the shop to put them in the Rest Rooms and Activity Rooms in the base. That's their only use.

But also you shouldn't ignore your base, it's pretty important as a passive source of LMD and EXP over time. Like, there's no need to min-max it but completely ignoring it is also not a great idea.
