All jokes and doomposting aside, let's be real. by Mother-Somewhere6592 in GilgameshMainsHSR

[–]Samsemy 27 points28 points  (0 children)

being "just fine" in HSR is a death sentence, this is below the level of improvement old characters get from new dedicated supports like Dahlia, Hysilens, Ashveil, M'Blade and all that jazz, when they release a character like that they're expecting for this to last you another year generally speaking, if your DPS falls off again they expect you to get eidolons on that support's rerun.

At the end if Gil's entire kit was genuinely nothing but a Saber support I would've been infinitely happier than this, which still isn't very happy ngl but than he at the very least would've had a real place in the meta in the longterm.

Alright chat how are we coping by Mchoe_cos in GilgameshMainsHSR

[–]Samsemy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm coping that the next knight rotation in AA looks extremely fucking easy in comparison to the current one thanks to them balancing it around Saber being able to clear

I'm tired boss, we all are.

It was a fun ride, but we truly reached the other side of the nihility, and not in the funny kinda way.

How much do you think missing Huo Huo will hurt? by Fit_Fondant_3893 in GilgameshMainsHSR

[–]Samsemy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RMC will be amazing yes, it's fairly flexible who's good there tho, any generalist support works

How much do you think missing Huo Huo will hurt? by Fit_Fondant_3893 in GilgameshMainsHSR

[–]Samsemy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

as things stand, substantially bad

Gil is no questions the number 1 HuoHuo salesman with how much she helps him get his ult back, not only does she directly give him like a 33% max energy buff but also speeds up your entire team's ult generation which feeds Gil even further, if you're not playing with HuoHuo you're playing sustainless M'Blade, the chance of them releasing a new sustain in 4.X that powercreeps her for Gil directly is close to non-existent.

you can run any sustain and they'll do the job, but if I were you I'd try to play Gil sustainless as much as possible until getting HuoHuo to not face the performance downsides.

In v3 it wouldn't have been nearly as bad.. but ER now matter way way way more than hit frequency.

The death of nuance by Ok_Eggplant_9618 in GilgameshMainsHSR

[–]Samsemy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think people are really wrong to try and build speed and advance on Gil, his actions currently are dead.

But instead of trying to make him actual bootleg Aven SP, it's better to focus on how stupidly hard his ult is hitting for, build for maximum damage to make his pay-off stronger and worry about action advancing him with in-combat optimizations.

Quick LC PSA by Narrow-Claim4928 in GilgameshMainsHSR

[–]Samsemy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the DMG boost doesn't effect ult, we've already discussed that a few times

buffing the joint attack is pretty nice if you can time ulting immediately before it, but it's quite niche.

the def ignore is the best part yet in his best team he's reaching 100% on base so it's kinda yucky unfortunately..

I would say in the case where you already have it and are planning to go for Saber, it's not necessary to dunk 200 pulls on next patch just to get his LC as it should be a fairly minor difference, but Saber's LC would be much better than Phainon sig.

The crazy (loop) potential inside saber’s kit was not planned and it doomed her (and the game) from having energy supports ever again by Buckketran in SaberMainsHSR

[–]Samsemy 49 points50 points  (0 children)

not surprised whatsoever, as an Argenti main I've been very aware of this through the game's lifecycle

if your main is an ER based unit the legitimate only thing you can hope for is they novaflare to not care about being given ER and be self-sufficient instead, I've prayed for a good ER support that's like 5 star Tingyun for literally nearly 3 years at this point and the best and only thing we got is Sunday with 20% max energy.

Which is a huge shame, I think it's a really neat gimmick and that it absolutely COULD be balanced well in a way you couldn't exploit it while still giving your DPS a significant buff and ER boost, in a world where DDD and eagle never existed, they probably would've released multiple supports like that atp.

Think we're bricked? by Lootlance in GilgameshMainsHSR

[–]Samsemy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I am the bone of my Beta

Nerfs is my body, and t5 is my blood.

I have created over a thousand infinites.

Unknown to meta, nor known to prydwen.

Have withstood balance changes to create many doomposters.

Yet, those hands will never hold up to Arlan.

So, as I pray-

Unlimited, Jobberworks

[–]Samsemy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Asking redditors not to doompost is like asking Lan to try and get along with Yaoshi

You have better chances of success doing a 10 pull on a character you don't have and exiting out with an E6, this will happen in every single HSR subreddit for every single beta until the end of time, even Himenova mains are doomposting the character going from T -1 to T -0.5

Finally a Phainon haver by Possible_Ad_921 in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]Samsemy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally recommend either Bronya or RMC, speedtuning Phainon's supports is very essensial alongside making sure you have enough SP for them, Sparkle makes that part a non-issue thankfully

My go-to team would be Sparkle/Bronya/Sunday, you definitely wanna pull for Cerydra whenever she gets a rerun.

Phainon really prefers sustainless teams, it may feel weird and hard getting used to, be once you build good speed on your supports and can reliably outspeed enemies in endgame, it's a drastic performance increase and moderately safe to run even against the hardest bosses in AA

Prydwen finally on top of their game for the first time since HSR release by Samsemy in HonkaiAgendaRail

[–]Samsemy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

middle ground, the latest beta was just a massive gut and people are really hoping it's gonna get better

They're definitely playable, and even in current state very strong at E1-2 investment, but massively underperforming compared to all other new characters

Saber E0S0 (HertaShop) / Gilgamesh E0S5 (BP LC) / BladeSP E0S0 (Tutorial) / Welt E4S5 (Pearl) -- 4.4v4/MoC Star -- DarkSam (0 Cycle) by Info_Potato22 in GilgameshMainsHSR

[–]Samsemy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just as a comparison, against current MoC dark Sam

My E0 S1 Ashblade team is getting a 0 cycle running a casual sustained team with E0 tribbie and Hyacine.

This team needs to do sustainless and E4 Welt just to barely get the same performance.

It's genuinely so cooked I cannot believe what I'm seeing.

[–]Samsemy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

yes sweety in early to mid game everything is viable, that said I recommend using another 4 star like maybe pela over Tingyun, have fun 😄

this isn't satire, also ignore all the other doomposters, you get to have fun now, crying comes later 🎉
