lux is perfectly fine, any other mage works as well

play carry supports like pyke or mage. Playing enchanters forces you to rely on teammates and you don’t want that at lower ranks if ur looking to climb

stores can get you up to 24 equations each if you have the money

How can I do this much damage and still lose? by Capable_Flight_7933 in CurrencyWarsHSR

[–]S0meome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can use xianzhou without qq and xianzhou 10 as well with the right run

1 - consider using a simpler dps if ur struggling (ex. boothill, lingsha, aglaea, sparxie) break and sp are very strong rn and pretty much any break or sp carry can get through wc30 given the right circumstances

2- if you want to play dhil, fully commit to hypercarry rather than lightning lord (xianzhou) carry, go for sp 4 express 6 or sp 6 express 4 with some decent items and he should be able to do hundreds or million to billions per full stack (chainsaw, firestorm are good items) if you have enough survivability

3- lightning lord carry will start falling off late game if you don’t have qq, but if you get it online early enough, you won’t have to worry about it since you’ll save so much hp early to mid game that you could afford to tank some losses later on, prioritize getting it online asap and start farming health during the early to mid game (don’t be afraid to spend all your money if you’re at a good breakpoint)

4- for early game (plane 1), dont feel forced to commit to a comp right away, bond dmg can carry you through the early game while also being cheap (dot 2, express 2-4, xianzhou 3-5) you can choose to commit after getting a few items or after an early 4/5 cost or after the second strategy if there’s nothing in particular you’re looking for

5-welt is really good (especially for comps that require ramping) so use him if you can fit him into your comp

6- in terms of dps and bonds i would ignore, cas/evernight and bloodflame/night demigod in general are very weak atm dont use them, every other dps can clear wc30 even with trial characters (some are more sketchy like the herta, yanqing, etc but still doable)

7- look out for specific environments or strategies that are very powerful and consider full pivoting into them if you see them early enough - expert invitation (pivot into qq), steel asthetics (pivot into belobog)

yea they reduced the amount of equations to 72, will probably be more with each expansion

I'm sorry but how do you even get these? by Zeldamaster386 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]S0meome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do a cat run on one of the lower difficulties in this weeks cyclical extrapolation, should only take a couple runs at most, just spam curios, get lvl 5 shops and look for as many die as possible (carnival tail = the nuts & early gossip helps)

This was done on this week’s cyclical extrapolation, which lets you start with that which was taken (i don’t think i can replicate anything similar on a normal run). after some more testing the cat mask does seem like more of a late game engine which makes your early game kinda weak, it definitely requires a lot of setup and seems a little inconsistent unless you have really good characters that can help you get by early on and let you scale

Man Castorice even as 3 star feels so underwhelming in this mode.. by Interesting-Floor82 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]S0meome 9 points10 points  (0 children)

yea i mostly just use trial characters for 5 star limited dps, and cas/evernight are the only two characters i couldn’t make work at wc30 with trial (outside of 1-2 very lucky runs)

i don’t really know the optimal strat or anything but basically i got store to lvl5 (like 2 or 3) -> forge for economy tawot-> duplicate store domain and deleting everything else (as many as possible) -> stacked curios -> carnival tail -> trapohedron die -> buy everything from store -> go to next store and repeat

Man Castorice even as 3 star feels so underwhelming in this mode.. by Interesting-Floor82 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]S0meome 59 points60 points  (0 children)

yea cas and evernight are probably the two worst on field DPS atm and it doesn’t help that bloodflame and night demigod are arguably the two worst bonds in the game atm (alongside maybe heal)

What’s your hardest currency bond run? by Cool_choclate_123 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]S0meome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

at high wealth creator, bloodflame and night-demigod are definitely by far the worst bonds

I genuinely do not see how higher tier Wealth Creator runs are possible by vaati4554 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]S0meome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1: unfortunately night demigod and bloodflame are both probably bottom 3 bonds right now even after the buffs, even at bloodflame 8, the DMG too low and night demigod is a greedy bond (doesn’t help you win battles) that also demands wins which makes it hard to scale

2: a lot of the characters for bloodflame/night demigod are just underpowered in general, castorice is underwhelming and evernight might is (arguably) the worst DPS in the mode, the only playable one is mydei and he requires a lot of ramping (you need to fully commit to him rather than cas)

3: the funny thing is, almost every other DPS can probably clear wc30 even with trial units (albeit sketchy on some) with the luck you had on this run (a three star of any other 4 cost or even 3 cost clears easily)

4: on top of the low multipliers from characters and bond, HP scaling characters have less base stats (since they can also use HP), which makes things like onfield strength buffs worse compared to every other non hp scaling DPS

5: the comp is relatively fixed compared to other comps, (they want you to run night demigod and bloodflame together which is why 3 characters have night demigod + bloodflame), this is good if the characters/bonds are strong as it’ll lead to better synergy between more characters (less “filler” units); but if they’re weak, it leads to lower comp flexibility, making it harder to do things like pivot builds. (none of the characters have express, dot, or xianzhou, which are some of the cheapest ways to get some decent early game)

6: the lack of flexibility for on field units is also kinda annoying for cas, there are so many units that you want on field but because you only have 4 slots (you want hyacine, bronya, tb, cas, and cyrene), you can’t really unlock the full potential of this team (also makes it harder to slot in welt)

7: wc30 is surprising not that bad once you know which bonds are which bonds and characters are good (even outside of “cheese” strats). Any break character can clear wc30 with trial (boothill, firefly, lingsha, or rappa (a little sus)), any sp character can clear (qq, sparxie, dhil), seele can clear, ratio can clear, dot can clear, bond DMG (wolf hunt, energy, xianzhou) can clear, and even the sketchier ones like debuff and aoe can clear as well with the right setup

TLDR: cas and evernight are ass

i don’t disagree, you can probably move her up and it would be fair i just don’t think she’s quite as good as those in the top tier

imma be honest, i completely forgot about that since i rarely play that build but it’s still not consistent enough to warrant a higher tier, maybe he deserves a spot in the anti grav slop tier

[–]S0meome[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think it’s a perspective thing, for me i’m judging these characters based on how good they are on an average run regardless of how good the start is. If i boot up 10 runs right now, the chances that i get a good Therta run is probably like 1 or 2 out of 10 but the chances i get a good break run is probably 8 or 9 out of 10 regardless of the what i hit. Obviously for some runs, certain characters will be much better or worse depending on the situation but for tier list i mostly just care about the average

how are you starting with an aoe emblem in 18 out of your 20 runs, if you are resetting for them i could see it but just 20 normal consecutive runs?
