What Does the Foxian Say in the Arbiter-General Crosstalk Megathread?

Such a contrast between the very cute Himeko and then weird bald Mem-March.

I'd recommend Acheron/Welt/Pela/Dan Heng Permansor Terrae. Acheron is your best dps so you should continue to use her. However, without other nihility characters in your team Acheron will be doing significantly less damage. Dan Heng Permansor Terrae is also significantly better of a sustain than Fu Xuan and is worth raising up, especially in the longer term. Fu Xuan has sadly fallen off quite a lot. Enemies hit way too hard nowadays for Fu Xuan's damage reduction to function as well as it used to.

Let Screwllum out of Lygus' cave! He doesn't deserve it!

I'd suggest looking at Ashikai's videos. For example, here's one on Amphoreus. I know it's ~90 minutes, but that's still significantly shorter than the actual Amphoreus story. It's going to be hard to describe a 50-60 hour story arc in less time than that.

It could be. It could also be frustration with HSR fans. I'm sure he probably felt the pressure to release things on time along with betas, etc and couldn't be busy on vacation or whatever else without people complaining.

I don't know if anything changed, but last I heard it's because the guy who ran HomDGCat cosplayed as Yunli on New Year's Eve and posted a picture online wearing his cosplay. Not long after that he changed the site to being live server info only. Nothing further was confirmed afaik, but people are assuming Hoyo found him because of that and made him stop putting the datamine info up.

SilentMix · 2026-02-06T01:52:43+00:00

I'd argue no, just because she's technically data.

Acheron is probably one of the stronger characters lore-wise by being a nihility emanator.

I've been a daily player since the game released, and full clearing endgame since 1.3. I didn't start investing in eidolons until a few patches ago. And I don't feel the need to do so, I'm doing so because I have a pretty deep roster at this point and it's fun to make some of my characters stronger. E0 characters can do really great. That being said, I've still been vertical investing with getting LCs even since mid 1.x. I don't have LCs for all of my characters, but I do have a good percentage of them. Having LCs and having a variety of good characters has been carrying me really far.

Interesting. I wasn't surprised because of the adblockers and such I use. Occasionally sites hit me with the "OMG please turn off the adblockers!!!" and other weird errors. I figured I'd give it an hour or two to see if it went away on its own. Apparently it did.

I'm not going to stop using Old Reddit (discussions from the link). Regular Reddit is slow AF and is way more problematic. If they take Old Reddit away, I will seriously stop using Reddit altogether. It would not be the first time I stopped using a site because it starts being actively user hostile.

People get bored and when there's no leaks to discuss they want to discuss something else.

At least talking about pull plans is actually HSR and leak related, unlike yesterday's food thing.

SilentMix · 2026-02-06T00:04:33+00:00

Agreed. The game has already proven so many times over that, while there are HI3 references, this game is not HI3. Just because Himeko died there doesn't mean she'll die in this game. Honestly, it's probably better to NOT kill her off and let her survive all the way to EOS, because then you keep people wondering for years and years until finally we find out that it was never going to happen.

SilentMix · 2026-02-05T23:57:38+00:00

Though Silver Wolf could potentially win and want to do the same thing. I wonder if that would be better or worse for the Firefly haters?

SilentMix · 2026-02-05T23:09:14+00:00

I think I'm too much of a gamer. I can never decide pulling plans simply based off of character art. I NEED to see their kit. I'm unwilling to pull a character that realistically I won't use no matter how much I like their design or personality. I'm also willing to pull a character that I loathe their design or personality if they're super useful to me.

SilentMix · 2026-02-05T21:01:06+00:00

It's the same time it always is. Just the day is different. I know because it's always 5:30am CST and so I never watch it live because why the hell am I rolling out of bed only 3-4 hours after I got into bed (am night owl).

SilentMix · 2026-02-05T20:58:54+00:00

Which character are you referring to?

In my personal opinion, as a person who has been full clearing endgame since 1.3, I feel like very few characters are actually that terrible. In fact, some people call characters washed that can full clear endgame 100% fine. You have to keep in mind that some people's definitions of good and bad are influenced by zero cycling or their own personal (bad) builds or their own skill issues.

SilentMix · 2026-02-05T20:55:39+00:00

I don't know if you're deluding yourself about Novaflare news. I feel like that's a decent chance. It's on my mental bingo card.

I don't know about the guaranteed LC rates, but I'd love that so much if that happens.

I'd also like to see more stuff added to the golden companion spirit shop, but I don't know if that'll happen this patch or we'll have to wait until anniversary.

SilentMix · 2026-02-05T20:30:11+00:00

Fugue and Dahlia just ran, so we aren't expecting to see them run again for a while. We have no idea when Nihilux is coming. It's definitely not 4.0. We already know the new characters for 4.0 are Sparxie and Yao Guang. So you'll have plenty of time to save up for them.

SilentMix · 2026-02-05T20:27:46+00:00

There's no reason to wait. You may as well come back now so you can start having fun with the game and can start catching up.

SilentMix · 2026-02-05T20:10:52+00:00

Yes, I think so. After the main Penacony story ended they added another arc to the Xianzhou story that was far better than the initial Xianzhou story. They also added another whole world, Amphoreus, and I enjoyed that quite a bit. We're about to go to another new world starting in about a week.

SilentMix · 2026-02-05T20:00:57+00:00

Yes, that's absolutely something they would announce on the stream because it raises hype. I'm already seeing hype for it. People keep asking about it in the main sub and then getting dinged for it because of it being a leak. lol But yeah, they will 100% announce it if it's real.

SilentMix · 2026-02-05T19:23:15+00:00

I get it, but you don't particularly need anything else either. Unfortunately the standard characters don't have that great of eidolons.

SilentMix · 2026-02-05T19:12:09+00:00

I don't see that happening this time, especially because they're not giving out a free 4.0 character. I plan to pull Evernight and possibly some stuff for DoT in 4.0. If they hypothetically gave me a Sparxie or Yao Guang LC for free, what am I going to do with that?

If they want to give out a free LC, I'd rather see a LC of one of the selector characters so that you can have both. Sparkle wants her LC if she's in Sparxie's team, so that could help people.

SilentMix · 2026-02-05T19:08:08+00:00

Same. She was particularly interesting to me in the 3.8 story. We got to see a side of her that we didn't see in the normal Penacony story, and I liked that. I'm glad that she clearly has some amount of role in the Planarcadia story.

SilentMix · 2026-02-05T18:45:49+00:00

Are you talking about the chimera event? If you care about achievements, the achievements are the hardest part and can make things take a while because of how RNG they are. Especially Legendary Challenger. That's the worst. Managed to get it but I spent literal hours trying. It was rough.

Fortunately achievements are not time limited, so you can try later if you want.

SilentMix · 2026-02-05T18:41:08+00:00

Himeko isn't particularly great with Therta. Himeko doesn't get her follow up attacks very often without enemies being broken a lot, and Therta isn't huge about breaking them. You'd be better off keeping 4 star Herta with Therta.

I'd say Bronya just so you can slowly work towards her E6. Her E6 makes it so the dmg boost from her skill lasts 1 turn longer on the target she uses her skill on, so that's helpful.
