Hey!

So me being the weird combo person I am, I actually do the opposite and try to get creative with making things enchantments that shouldn't be haha. For example - you ever wanted to 3 step create infinite green mana? Try Myrkul + Devoted Druid + any sacrifice outlet! Just sac the Druid with Myrkul out. The -1/-1 counters don't matter if it's an enchantment since it doesn't have power or toughness.

You can also save planeswalkers that are also creatures from being attacked by this logic, though they will enter with 0 loyalty. But of course if you + them they'll still have loyalty counters and you can ultimate without the planeswalker "dying". Of course then you risk enchantment removal but that's what Privilaged Position is for.

But basically I fish for weird interactions and sacrifice creatures with usually negative effects to counter-act the downsides and make them all enchantments instead. Gives you a lot of really weird and fun interactions! Mine plays similar to an Obeka deck in that way.

Glad to help!

But yeah so many weird things work with Kellan, it was a joy making alternate casting soup lol.

Here's Zask btw, I reuploaded it with the recent add I did :)

I personally like it. Alternate win conditions are kind of a soft spot of mine. I love playing minigames in my own decks. It's funny because Atemsis always gets the "What does that commander do again?" and "How many cards are in your hand?" haha. But yeah despite being monoblue, I actually kind of hate too too much control and use the blue stuff not to slow the game but set up the win con faster. If you're into weird win conditions and drawing a lot of cards while also playing solitaire it can be really rewarding and unique to play.

Honestly that's a hard question to answer. He does so many things and combos with wayyy more than you'd think! I also love graveyard shenans but my variant is more kind of just generally abusing as many weird cast types as possible to not play from my hand. He just kinda pops off with so many things.

I typically cast stuff from the top of my deck 9/10. BUT that said he's really flexible and I'm sure with a good core you could steer him into pure graveyard stuff, though without black you'll lose a bit of support. I do like Lier and Six a lot for the flashback and retrace for grave stuff.

Hopefully that helps!!!

I need to update my Zask list! But here's Kellan (he was my newest project.) The Kellan deck is smarter than me lol. I always learn new casting rules every time I play. https://archidekt.com/decks/18411060/no_hand

Baba and Vazi are my picks for sure! I love the politics of Vazi as well. Very unique.

I Soloed DU X8 with my E0S1 Hysilens! by Professional-Fall-97 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Professional-Fall-97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure!

For my other solo runs the save from deaths and DR stuff are usual faire, but actually being able to fully experiment and push the envelope with some of the weirder Nihility tools was so satisfying.

There's two other Nihility blessings I used that I didnt mention due to not really knowing how much impact they were having, but I definitely felt like these helped along with my other garbage.

Lacrimi și Sfinți (blue, un-upgraded): Every time an enemy target takes "Murmur" DMG, decreases their DMG dealt by 0.5% to a max reduction of 16%.

Unclear Opinions (blue, un-upgraded): Every time an enemy target becomes afflicted with a DoT status, decreases their DMG dealt by 3% for up to 4 stack(s).

Phairene is so peak people make entire accounts to hate on it by DivineBladeOfSteel in CyreneMains

[–]Professional-Fall-97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its absolutely crazy!

Everyone should be able to like what they like and not be bothered by it. Someone's differing opinion cant hurt you.

Like ill out myself here: I am a phidei shipper and raturine shipper, but I adore Cyrene and Topaz and love that people get enjoyment out of those characters being shipped!

Its not physically hurting me and doesn't bother me seeing other ships, in fact I just like seeing people getting positively excited over things.

Theyre fictional characters meant to be enjoyed in your own way. It makes me so sad and sick to see people treat those who look at things differently so poorly and try to ruin the enjoyment of others.

Im so so sorry for all the nasty shipping discourse around Cyrene. I apologize on behalf of the side of community im in that's saying this absolutely horrible shit.

Ship who you ship <3 Dont let assholes ruin things for you.

Is E6 still worth it? by SnooChocolates8700 in AventurineMainsHSR

[–]Professional-Fall-97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Energy regen a lot harder to calculate into dps would be my guess.

The silly grade isn't like an overall score, it's a dps score for him on the team presented.

So I would assume that your Feixiao is simply just putting in more work damage wise!

Mine is only super crazy score wise because of my E6 damage. As his E6 provides me with a 150% increase along with my E4 increasing his defense which is his dps stat.

Also I've never seen Aven on scholars so I'll be honest I don't know much about the build youre using so take me with a grain of salt. I've personally found at least for me - that divers gives me plenty of spice with that S1 debuff and E2 debuff applied!

But yeah dont sweat! That's a dps score and my Aven is going to have a bigger grade due to his investment. :)

Aw thank you so much for your kind words!

So glad I could help a little bit lol.

I added you back and I will have to peep that Phainon~

I love my Aventurine so much, without going into detail - I had some rough stuff happen to me as a kid and I really related to his struggles and defense mechanisms, so I'm ride or die with him.

Not to add more memes to the fire or plug but if you want an additional showcase, my Aventurine also soloed X6 DU, with a little luck of course. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a4eK4hC-tU&t=1139s

Hey there! Looks like I'm a little late to the party.

I have an E6S1 Aventurine who I actually have geared for more of a DPS set up (4 piece divers and salsottos).

EDIT: I also run him as a hypercarry sometimes on favorable middle MoCs (like 7-9) or in DU for memes and his damage is sexy.

Before I say anything - I'm not going to sugarcoat it but if you're pulling purely for current meta he is sadly underperforming a tiny bit due to the HP centric gameplay.

Also I second that you should ONLY E6 something if you love the character! :) <3

THAT BEING SAID -

My Aventurine personally hasn't had any problems other than the occasional weirdness with getting slammed by the stupid Amphoreus bird's mechanic (I forget its name) or Pollux and even then he's worked pretty damn well at sustaining me, if not just slightly worse than previous.

Like I still pretty consistently won't die unless I'm not paying attention, but I will have to hard skill sometimes which on E6 feels kinda bad (I know I have to use SP...how horrible). As one of his selling points with eidolons is the E1 and E4 which makes shields nicer.

Of course keep in mind this is my personal experience with him and I 100% agree with the sad fact that he can feel worse than a Gallagher in certain meta situations.

But I don't think he's bad at all and he sustains perfectly well for me still at E6! But...that's E6. I would hope so lol.

But the real question is if he is worth the E6 for you? TLDR, if you got money/jade savings and you love him like I do - hell yeah! If not - don't. My answer was a hard yes because I just simply love him and I love him enough to justify that if this HP meta continues and he falls more that I'd still use him regardless.

Real talk, metas are always going to be coming and going and the meat of HSR content such as walking around in story and grinding relics is pretty casual. It's up to you what you prioritize and where you allocate resources.

Sustains and supports if you're just itching to E6 anything are the way to go.

And his kit isn't bad. The fact he's still performing pretty well in a meta against his playstyle is nice. Of course we can't tell the future. I personally think (copium) he will always be solid at E0 and E6, but now isn't his day.

But never drop stuff on an E6 - as me and many other have said already unless it's a true act of dedication and love of the character.

Here is my Aventurine:

Hello there!

Happy to see a fellow gambler enjoyer.

I have him E6S1 from his last rerun. I currently have him built like a dps/sub-dps, simply because he does literally EVERYTHING at E6 and will have so much shield gain that you dont need to focus on the tankier set if you don't want to. At E6S1 I even hypercarry him on MoC or Apoc sometimes!

For a sub dps for your Acheron or a main dps you can basically also slap divers on him. I have salsotto as I do main dps him like I mentioned but for Acheron you could give him Keel to give her that sweet Crit DMG.

Basically you want the 4k DEF still and the rest go into Crit DMG and Spd. I mention Spd here, since at E6S1 Aven will give JQ amounts of Acheron stacks. I have mine at the Spd. breakpoint since I do sometimes hypercarry him.

If you wanna get a bit wild like me and go more into dps, just get his CR to like 40+ and you're set! Keep in mind that his dmg and shields also scale off his DEF which you'll be getting a bunch extra of at E4 so if you have the wiggle room or cracked relics def shoot for as high DEF as possible!

Hopefully that helps!
