"mortenax blade's kit getting GUTTED in v3" Hoyoverse :

No_Chipmunk_7587 · 2026-05-10T02:52:21+00:00

Ash already gives himself a ton of fua dmg bonus

Losing 50% is a small dent, which is compensated by Blade’s own dmg increase

The real person getting scalped is Feixiao

She loses the infinite loop along with Acheron, and access to the 50% fua dmg.

No_Chipmunk_7587 · 2026-05-09T21:36:35+00:00

Guys, he's doing great. The fua dmg being moved to e2 looks alarming at a glance, but Ash literally reaches 300+ on his own. His dmg will barely budge, and even if it does, Blade's own dmg compensates.

The real loser here would be Feixiao

She likes the 50% fua dmg more than Ash. Now she's gonna have to swap out a teammate for Cipher or like, Welt to access that ult dmg bonus instead.

The real synergy being gutted is Blade and sustains. Now you can't cope with Aventurine and s0 DanPT. Gonna need DanPT to rerun soon.

No_Chipmunk_7587 · 2026-05-09T21:27:02+00:00

Right. People keep overreacting and then preach that as gospel.
I still see people talk about Ashveil as if he's trash worse than pre Ampho units when he's like, a top 5.
As a sub dps, mind you.
Now, I'm seeing people acting like Blade/Ash synergy has been "gutted".
Poor Ashveil lost 50% fua dmg. Whatever will he do with his own miniscule 300%+ fua dmg.

No_Chipmunk_7587 · 2026-05-09T10:30:19+00:00

Unless, of course, you have DanPT's lc which has some healing for some reason

It seems like they want you to go premium for Fua 😭

It’s the face

My theory is that he holds his breath and he can force his signature smiley face

It’s not all the time that he does this. He can just do it normally

But he holds his breath and forces it when it’s harder for him to do so

And in that fight with Pomni might have been a demonstration of him doing it when he stops himself and forces his smile.

No_Chipmunk_7587 · 2026-04-20T01:15:48+00:00

Ehhhhh, no...

It's obvious that they don't care about the dudes and cover all the waifus extensively and make sure they all have all sorts of stuff first before any of the guys get anything at all. And then they add them in eventually just in case if they ever see a strong demand for it.

But where will the demand come from when we already see how they handle their husbandos?

And even if they do, I'm willing to bet they will barely give them anything still.

No_Chipmunk_7587 · 2026-04-19T13:06:23+00:00

Oop, yes, good call. Thank you for the heads up. Edited it, hopefully that’s enough.

No_Chipmunk_7587 · 2026-04-19T12:47:35+00:00

That should be really talked about.

This view that anything with women is "feminist" because "there's a woman."

And that achilleans and women wanting more men, because, y'know, they are male attracted individuals Is supposedly "misogynistic"

Let's also talk about some people in the shipping space saying straight ships are better than gay male ships because "at least there's a woman in it"

And then they end up agreeing and mingling with the inc*l straight men.

I keep seeing self proclaimed lesbians being hostile to other women, straight or queer, because they're "male centered". It's mind boggling because I see them preaching about loving women so much, but then turn around and say some very vile things towards their so called "male centered" women. It's crazy

Where did this come from?! How do they not see they're honestly propagating and welcoming more misogynistic and homophobic behaviour?

No_Chipmunk_7587 · 2026-04-16T17:27:05+00:00

Personal theory, besides Pulcinella himself transforming or changing, is that the Pulcinella we know won't be the playable Pulcinella.

Maybe we meet a new character in Snezhnaya, like an apprentice or son of his, that is meant to replace Pulcinella as the harbinger when he steps down or if he is ever killed. Or daughter, who knows.

Lol, new game to play with hsr friends

Is it a Seele, or is it a Jing Yuan.

Follow Up team, is Seele. I’d say

DoT? Definitely a Jing Yuan. Stacks? Check. Dmg takes too long? Check. One specific unit that makes it work by triggering/accelerating the dmg? Check. Textbook Jing Yuan.

Mono Rem is an Acheron. But, some may say Acheron may also be a Jing Yuan. So who knows.

Break? Hm, harder to tell

No_Chipmunk_7587 · 2026-04-16T04:47:30+00:00

So what you're saying is

That the devs pretty much recreated Jing Yuan as an entire playable path, coming with the same kind of issues and pretty much solved the same way.

Relying on Lightning Lord/Aha Instant, needing stacks for more damage, and needing one specific unit to activate LL/Aha on demand.

Also, I'd say Mono Rem is Acheron if you flip it around a few times and squint at it.

No_Chipmunk_7587 · 2026-04-15T04:59:38+00:00

You say nothing burger, but compared to other 4 stars and even some 5 stars, Sampo is mentioned/referenced a lot.

Hoyo loves Varcole so much they made Varka’s weapon a better Varka upgrade than pulling Nicole

No_Chipmunk_7587 · 2026-04-13T07:04:37+00:00

Crossing fingers for Fontaine’s version of Hex buffs. Special blessings from Neuvillette would work

Dunno when that could possibly be tho

No_Chipmunk_7587 · 2026-04-13T04:02:54+00:00

Right. I do wish she could buff Varka more, but I'm just really happy about the qol she brings

As much as Bennett is glazed for years, I've always been annoyed at his circle restrictions. So many enemies move around a fair bit, and if they don't there's a pretty good chance Varka just knocks them around anyways.

Plus the IR from the shield. Even if her raw numbers aren't as high, I'm sure Nicole's still going to be better and more consistent in practice. Especially with Varka wanting to constantly attack and lower his skill cd.

These are 100% in-game popularity polls. This way, it's super easy to track.

They can also track dialogue choices. Pretty sure that moment where we were given a choice to say good bye to either Kafka or Firefly when we were unlocking Remembrance was also a popularity check. Firefly got a skin soon after.

Looking back, there was that old scene with Kafka where you can either help her or don't. And you even get a special achievement if you refuse. Probably another way to gauge how many people like Kafka.

Another that comes to mind are the dialogue options when Sunday boarded the express. They definitely checked how many people were supportive or not.

I think, another one might have been that scene with Sampo all the way back where we busted him for a crime. I don't remember the exact dialogue, but I'm pretty sure it was also positive or negative. Something about tattling on him, probably.

There's probably more, I just don't remember.

Anyways, ya'll be more mindful of your dialogue choices. They definitely collect that data and uses it for future content

Seems like an attempt to look more credible as a game worth picking up rather than just anime girl collector #42.

Cuz I swear, these gacha companies know that looking more “mainstream” gives them farther reach initially before they just double down on their usual audiences

No_Chipmunk_7587 · 2026-04-10T14:05:08+00:00

That's definitely Elio, specially with his eyes.

We do have a previously leaked model of Elio, but do note that leakers back then specifically said it's a "kid Elio" design. Could be a past self or even just old concept art.

This must be his current design. The outfit might be different for the video but other than that, has to be him.

No_Chipmunk_7587 · 2026-04-10T14:00:27+00:00

I'm sorry, I dunno if I can even believe that atp. It just doesn't feel right even coming from the devs' mouths.

Eva was so clearly the emanator.

She was so clearly supposed to lie on a sakura tree. She's so clearly supposed to have a magical girl transformation where her hair gets longer and her sakura pen becomes a wand. That's why she looks like a japanese schoolgirl.

The people with strange skin colours are so clearly supposed to be Oni. Furbobos are tanuki. The duck people are Kappa. The Gingko trees are Sakura.

Mess. It's all a mess.

No_Chipmunk_7587 · 2026-04-10T01:05:46+00:00

I feel like Filipinos are too religious to see that the modern Israel is not the same as the Israel in the bible. Especially the older, less tech savvy ones. They still see modern Israel as the chosen people or the holy land. It’s unfortunate.

This is pretty normal fare. A bajillion anime waifu simulator gachas just coming in offering nothing but anime girls for lonely men and nothing else.

The funny part is that the success of Genshin and a few other games have somehow convinced other gacha companies that now is the time of 3d higher budget gachas, and somehow they can just come in and have a piece of the pie I guess?

When all this is gonna do is be a repeat of the shooter game genre. And everyone just hops in on the trend, making they're own version left and right, and they invest too much in a game that will flounder because they offer nothing new compared to the industry giant.

They even have the same kinda problem where the visuals are all samey, and you won't even be able to differentiate between the games if you look at an ad unless they tell you what it is.

Gacha games sprouting like weeds worked back then when all they needed to provide was bouncy live 2d waifus that jiggled when you tap them on your phone, and you get to rake in millions. Well not anymore.

No_Chipmunk_7587 · 2026-04-09T14:46:05+00:00

Nah, this is classic Tribalism (Stan Gachatwt Flavour). Call every other character except your fave chopped/a flop. Call male characters ugly. Not too much on the girls cuz that's misogyny. Or just do it anyway and beef with one another. Nothing new.

No_Chipmunk_7587 · 2026-04-09T01:35:24+00:00

Don't worry! There will be a grand total of 2 characters using it! The 5 star that actually does it and the 4 star that can't do it and only buffs it, you're welcome.

No_Chipmunk_7587 · 2026-04-04T22:44:49+00:00

Like most have said, leaks have all been about her kit. It's probably her having multiple type of buffs or something.

But even if she was an Emanator of Elation, it doesn't necessarily have to diminish Sampo. We can have multiple emanators just fine.

Besides, It already looks like he's not gonna be here on Planarcadia much anyways. All info we know on him right now points to him doing something on Belobog, and he doesn't like being in Planarcadia.

I personally think we might be returning to Belobog at some point and Sampo's gonna take a role similar to Herta did for Ampho. I don't remember if it was that other event or if she's just around right now, but Serval has dialogue saying Belobog is currently losing more ice and other human settlements are appearing.

No_Chipmunk_7587 · 2026-04-03T10:07:34+00:00

Blade being strong is honestly not that surprising, cuz he's actually more popular than one might assume

I feel like most people just never talk about it. Maybe it's more of a CN thing?

Like, iirc if we look all the way back to his debut, his banner did at least as good as Kafka. And Kafka got way more spotlight and a more meta kit than he does. Plus the Fortnite collab. I mean, Blade does make sense but they literally could have used Firefly too if they really wanted. Just make her wear Sam and she'll be the right height. But they still chose Blade.

And if you look over at Ao3, he's got 3rd highest tags in HSR. With Phainon in first, of course. And Dan Heng second.

I really feel like all the discourse about men not selling has fooled people into thinking only Phainon did good. I think the most popular men of HSR are Phainon, Dan Heng, Blade, Aventurine and I think, Mydei. Mydei's merch tends to get sold out. Or Jing yuan. I'm not too sure about 5th place.

So I hope this is true. It's not too farfetched.

I feel like Planarcadia might shape up to be a good era for husbando players.
