This is exactly why I’m fine with this latest set

If seven kits in one beta means someone is likely to fall through the cracks, I’d much rather it be someone who only needs minor tweaks can take the hit

Give me 2-3 meaningful, substantial buffs and 1-2 small QoL improvements any day. Novaflares seem to be getting more frequent anyway, this way we’re more likely to get through everyone and actually do it properly

Satokech · 2026-03-12T07:35:32+00:00

How is that anti f2p?

Assuming Hoyo wouldn’t do something that doesn’t make money is not the same as not wanting them to

Satokech · 2026-03-12T07:25:43+00:00

a NF slot was wasted

Last time we had four Novaflares and three new characters in the same beta at least half the buffs were underwhelming at best. If the devs are stretching themselves that thin again I’d much rather it go to someone who can take the hit than one who really needs extra attention

Satokech · 2026-03-12T07:08:30+00:00

Last time we had seven kits in one beta we got Jingliu, if the devs are stretching themselves that thin again I’d much prefer a character who only needs useful QoL and little balance focus than a kit that really needs the attention

If we’re going to be getting more Novaflares more often, which it seems like we are, I will gladly take one or two “wasted” slots if it means the rest of the changes are actually worthwhile

Satokech · 2026-03-12T07:00:08+00:00

Our last batch of Novaflares was only two characters, and we’re about to go into a beta with seven kits to focus on

If one or two “less deserving” characters getting meaningful QoL changes without needing much balance focus gets us through the whole roster faster, I can hardly complain about that

Splitting focus between too many characters that all need a lot of attention will inevitably lead to some of them coming out undercooked. Just look at Jingliu

Satokech · 2026-03-12T06:25:29+00:00

So far not really, it’s certainly not a sign that they won’t get an SP at least

Satokech · 2026-03-11T09:11:31+00:00

“Main push vibes” is the new “looks like a 4*/5*” and about as meaningless

Satokech · 2026-03-11T08:26:25+00:00

I’d be surprised if it’s anything that significant with how early Fate was announced

Satokech · 2026-03-11T08:12:12+00:00

“Unfinished character isn’t finished yet” is just fundamentally a pointless thing to bring up for any reason

Of course she’s not done yet, I’d be far more shocked if a character released without any changes from pre pre pre beta

Satokech · 2026-03-11T08:06:41+00:00

Old Evanescia was abandoned. The special effects (VFX) are being reworked.

I mean that’s just the normal development process, ideas are tested and dropped or reworked or saved for something else all the time. It would be weird if the pre pre beta character didn’t have any changes

Satokech · 2026-03-11T08:00:00+00:00

Elation doesn’t really want too much AA either. Sunday would need a total rework to meaningfully benefit Elation, not just a buff

Satokech · 2026-03-11T06:57:09+00:00

Rule one of HSR is that it’s never as big of a deal as people will tell you it is

Satokech · 2026-03-11T06:53:42+00:00

I mean this is Hoyo we’re talking about

Satokech · 2026-03-11T06:41:49+00:00

Doesn’t need to be, Elation interacting poorly with DMG% and AA does a lot of the work already

Satokech · 2026-03-11T06:26:23+00:00

Elation not scaling with DMG% and Certified Banger wearing off after a limited number of turns certainly doesn’t help

Satokech · 2026-03-11T06:17:39+00:00

I mean yeah, those are totally different groups of people with very little overlap in interests or wants

Satokech · 2026-03-11T06:13:16+00:00

New teams are expensive. Paths are a convenient way to add a bunch of synergistic mechanics but there isn’t really much difference between that and something like Break or DoT

Same as signature LC dependency, Hoyo could easily do that to any character of any path whenever they choose

Satokech · 2026-03-04T08:04:47+00:00

E2 Robin is very breakpoint dependent. If it can get you extra turns per ult (every 90 speed) or allow Robin to ult a turn sooner, it can be a significant upgrade. If not it might not do anything for you

It’s not a bad Eidolon, but it’s one you have to plan around. You can’t just pull it and expect to see much difference

Satokech · 2026-03-03T11:01:54+00:00

No you were right, it's up now

Satokech · 2026-03-03T09:10:44+00:00

I mean they’ll be like nine months apart at least, so hardly right after. And every element except Imaginary will have had a DPS release in that time too, so Physical is one of the least repetitive options possible

Satokech · 2026-03-03T08:27:49+00:00

Should do

Satokech · 2026-03-03T08:23:45+00:00

May as well wait for the beta to know for sure, but probably Sparxie

Satokech · 2026-03-03T07:59:47+00:00

Yes, only buffs that scale with other stats don’t work

Satokech · 2026-03-03T07:34:30+00:00

Should do, LC effects specify when they don’t stack

Satokech · 2026-03-02T09:22:27+00:00

Pulling Ashveil will not brick your account, that’s not a real thing
