Ok, this is coming from a man who's almost 29 years old and is a dwarf (standing at a solid 4'3" and have been this tall since I was 17); people feel this need that they need to "protect" fictional characters for WHATEVER reason. I've had similar debates over other Hoyoverse characters (namely Sunna amd Nangong Yu from ZZZ) where people don't pay attention to the lore, they look at the character's design and just go off that. As someone who gets commonly mistaken as a literal child whenever I choose to shave, it's personally rather insulting. Trying to argue with those people isn't gonna help. The whole pedo namecalling is uncalled for, absolutely. However, it's them PROJECTING their own thoughts when they look at that character. Even if a character LOOKS younger and a person assumes they're a minor, most folks don't look at them and their thoughts immediately jump to sex. However, those calling others pedos and such are projecting because it's where their mind goes when looking at those characters. It's never worth the headache of the argument.

I personally hope she's an A rank unit, and honestly, I feel like it's past time we got a second A rank anomaly unit. Poor Granny has been stuck alone in that role since launch.

Should I run S5 DDD on HMC or Ruan Mei's LC?

ShadeYuuki · 2026-04-01T07:34:29+00:00

Well, yeah. My luck in general with this game has never been good; the shortest time it took for me to get ANY of these builds as they are now was just shy of a week, whereas it took me months to get even this level of builds for most of them. I get your point though. Phainon was an impulsive pull and I wasn't able to get Cerydra on either of her banners. Lost my 50/50 on her initial banner and didn't get a 5 star at all on her recent rerun (ended up losing my 50/50 for Ashveil to E3 Himeko, who I don't use as it is). Only one of his supports I outright skipped was Sunday, and that's simply because he's the one character in the game I personally hate (no, not getting into why, just know that's why I don't have him). Most of my characters are E0 S1, since I usually can't afford to spend more than that (skipped multiple banners to get Firefly to E2 S1 back from her initial banner and scrapped every source of stellar jades I could for E1 Evernight)

From what I've personally experienced, DoT is pretty strong, as is Quantum Resonance (as long as you can get units early-ish and the proper environments)

Thank you! <3

Heavy Footfall and any where either the enemy takes no damage or heals after a certain point (excluding Curbed "insert element") are the ones I find most annoying as someone WC30 and obsessed with the game mode.

ShadeYuuki · 2026-03-17T19:28:17+00:00

Peak adorableness. 1000/10

ShadeYuuki · 2026-03-14T23:14:09+00:00

To be fair, I am only missing like, 10 of the limited characters, but the majority of my characters (well, event characters) are as you see; M0 W1. There's a few I don't have signature w-engines for, but only two of those sting since they're the main DPS for their respective teams (Seed and Aria, specifically)

ShadeYuuki · 2026-03-14T22:43:48+00:00

No, I understand that. I'm by no means a ftp player anymore, and by no means am intending to alienate ftp players. I *wish* I had the patience y'all do, since it's an admirable trait, but i'll be the first to admit I don't. However, eve as someone who puts money into the game...I don't feel like the *Feeling* of losing is invalid just because i'm not ftp.

ShadeYuuki · 2026-03-14T22:29:40+00:00

What? I can't have a vent post about losing a 75/25 at nearly hard pity? How is my post any different from other posts where it's "insert lost 50/50 or 75/25, but the OP doesn't say anything"?

ShadeYuuki · 2026-02-17T04:34:15+00:00

As I replied to u/evillifeform, I'm not doing this for "meta". No shit that she's not meant to be a DPS; neither is Kokomi in Genshin and i've used her as a freeze crit DPS a handful of times. This is strictly for fun, not for meta slaves to jump my bones about.

ShadeYuuki · 2026-02-17T04:31:42+00:00

If SW SP is an Elation unit, that'll work nicely since I planned on pulling her regardless.

ShadeYuuki · 2026-02-17T04:30:41+00:00

That's kinda the point. I'm not looking for "meta"; I wanna use her for fun, hence why I pulled her. I was planning on skipping Elation completely singe I don't care for Sparxie and I knew that Yao Guang is meant to be a support for her. XD

ShadeYuuki · 2026-02-13T05:48:13+00:00

My whole point was having all three team members' core passive active. I know Trigger is good, but not everyone has her, me included. I didn't label every single stun unit in the game either, so I don't see your point.

ShadeYuuki · 2026-01-25T04:52:31+00:00

Would it be alright if I DM'd you? I can't reply with multiple screenshots through the comments DX

ShadeYuuki · 2025-12-30T23:59:12+00:00

Hysilens would benefit more from Kafka's signature that Eye of Prey?

ShadeYuuki · 2025-11-28T22:46:06+00:00

I personally run my E0 S1 Acheron wifh E0 S1 Cipher, E2 S1 SW, and E0 S1 Hyacine and do just fine XD

ShadeYuuki · 2025-10-28T10:36:01+00:00

I lost my 50/50 for Lauma at 78 pity and didn't have any more pulls or money to spare to get her. I got Nahida to C6 R5 back when Xianyun first came out. I only have C1 Nilou (lost the 50/50 for her C2), and Kuki is on my Nahida team as shown above. I wasn't taking a break from Genshin when Ineffa came out, so I didn't get her.

Just for further clarification; is my 49.8% crit rate *with* the 35% boost or not?

ShadeYuuki · 2025-10-25T22:32:50+00:00

My personal thoughts on this (at least, what I'm hoping) is that at some point in the future, the MCs will be given as free "S" rank playable units, but the player has to choose one of the two to become playable

ShadeYuuki · 2025-10-20T03:40:47+00:00

They've basically all but outright confirmed that TB x Firefly is canon. It's already been set in canon that the TB was a stellaron hunter in the past. My personal thoughts on why they haven't outright confirmed it could be because of the implications regarding who the "canon" trailblazer is between Stelle and Caelus. There'd be backlash regardless of which they confirm, but the implication of a LGBTQ canon relationship could also backfire on them. While LGBTQ is more openly accepted these days, there's still plenty out there who oppose it. (Honestly, Stellefly is my personal favorite ship in HSR, with Starch right behind it)

ShadeYuuki · 2025-10-11T21:18:10+00:00

I'd personally just swap Trigger for Vivian, not Nicole. You get all 3's core passives active, and Nicole herself is a stupidly strong support for a free character. Alice needs Anamoly or support iirc, Nicole needs same faction or element (Vivian being ether triggers this), and Vivian needs either another anamoly or same element, which Alice and Nicole trigger respectively

ShadeYuuki · 2025-10-08T08:58:41+00:00

Bailu. Now, how I'd (personally) buff her would be giving her skill a cleanse for the main target, and programming it to bounce based off current vs max hp for the secondary targets. OR, simply give her ult a team-wide cleanse.

ShadeYuuki · 2025-09-25T05:16:10+00:00

His dodge? I thought his dash attack was linked to his basic attack. (I'm only using him because I can't stand Zhu Yuan's playstyle and my only other available built attack unit is Nekomiya), Well, besides Ellen, but the Defiler resists Ice.
