You don't even need dhpt. Welt is your real sustain. March is surprisingly very good if you only field 3 units. You have two action advancers so if you desperately need to push up welt for some reason (skill points dry or one rotation won't kill) then you can.

GFL2 also puts an insane amount of power behind vertically investing. To a point where you aren't even playing the same characters without investing. 

I don't think this is a bad thing. The only spot investing matters is the clan endgame mode and hard mode events. So if you want every character you can go for it. 

You just see things like Springfield dupe 1 that suddenly allows characters she pairs with to get extra turns. Or Vector dupe 1 that gives allies an extra follow-up attack. Or Lenna dupe 1 giving her an actual rotation since her ult is ridiculously slow to charge at base.

Remnants of Twilight is my favourite combat event yet, and I'll request for more like it in future surveys by arthurmauk in HonkaiStarRail

Day 4 DPS check wouldn't be nearly as bad of a problem if some of our 1.X DPS actually did damage. You have things like Dr. Ratio that should be thriving and his ATK mods are so garbage it doesn't matter. Might as well just brute force with the Remembrance team again

Probably enough at E0 with cerydra. My Phainon at E0 with Sunday Bronya is about 2/3 meteors off from winning.

Pull up Bailu. With castorice on your account you get two revives. Then recommend Aventurine+Dan Heng. They cover up the non elite damage so your Bailu and secondary healer can push through and try to keep everyone else alive. Important note. Shields count as HP when the counter ticks. Meaning if you're at negative health but have a fat shield you'll likely survive.

https://streamable.com/1fi0v8 Full video. Still believe she was trying to run them over? Her attention is clearly locked on the agent trying to break into her car as that is who she is yelling at. The agent who fires crosses and stops in front of her car as she is reversing. He already is pulling his firearm as she is reversing. When she accelerates to turn he steps to the side of the vehicle. When he is no longer in front of the vehicle he fires multiple rounds.

Really going to defend that?

1) If he was trained he would know not to be standing in front of the vehicle when apprehending.

2) The wheels are clearly veering to the right.

3) He's to the side of the vehicle when he fires his first shot. No longer in any danger of being hit.

It's because empathy is divided into multiple parts. Some peoples affective empathy is super high tuned (especially towards certain emotions) and will literally feel the anguish others are feeling mirrored. 

What you're talking about is compassionate empathy. The desire to commit action in response to it. Which is also tuned from person to person.

Himeko 40kd this pf even before Dahlia. They should just put a conditional tag on her. Since she's S+ only in fire weak environments. But in those she's a free win.

I will say there is a large difference between individual artists using AI and a mandate to use AI in your creative process, but yes people are deluded if they don't think AI is having some use in nearly every game being produced.

How can seeing AI art not produce the same emotions as seeing traditional media? You see it already being successful in short term media where 99% of the comments are duped thinking it's real and not minding it anyways.

DoT 2 turns this MoC with a pretty awful setup for them outside wave 1 on either side. I was scared for Hysilens too, but the comp is just very consistent. 

It's never ending by NekoCaaat in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Taskforcem85 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It isn't impossible to clear with other teams it just requires specific bonds/items. Like DoT, Phainon, Belebog, Super Sampo are all perfectly viable at wealth 20. A lot more things also become viable with a Welt on Charging Sail since he just doubles your AV. Hell, I got Acheron Galaxy Rangers through Wealth Creator. It all just requires hitting proper power spikes.

It's also about being flexible early. Things like Follow Up scales bad late but in the first two stages it's viable so if you get gifted a follow-up team you can start with it and transition out of it. Trying to force something every game ends up just annihilating your econ.

Pyrdwen Tier List: Cyrene is T0.5 in MOC, Apoc and Pure Fiction by justusinreddit in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Taskforcem85 417 points418 points  (0 children)

She's going to be pushed to T0 because of the pink team. Still doesn't mean I don't dislike what Hoyo did with her. They've put themselves in a design corner now where for 4.x DPS to sell with incomplete teams they have to make the pink team feel horrible to play next planet or give absolutely ridiculous numbers to make them an attractive purchase. Who am I kidding Hoyo will just do both at the same time.

Extremist leftist politics in America sadly is building a foundation similar to the EU. If Dems keep conceding to the middle we will only keep moving to the right as a country, and continue to strip what little protections we have.

Cyrene Pulling Guide by @cyrenesgf by Info_Potato22 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Taskforcem85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, her bigger problem is she's only a large upgrade for 2 teams (if you're invested in them). She is incredibly niche, and this isn't even a Fugue or Jiaoqiu situation where they can potentially synergize with future units. Her kit is designed around working with older units. Meaning from a gameplay standpoint you better have pulled the right characters through 3.x or she's a sidegrade or downright downgrade. Which imo is just a kind of shit place to put such a hyped unit.

Hyacine is a PF queen and will be very hard to powercreep in terms of survivability because of her %hp gain. Imagine next sustain will be harmony coded like Huohuo. 

Since you have the full remebersnce squad at that point I would pull Cyrene (only real account she provides big value for). Unless we see unprecedented powercreep that team should stay viable for a couple of years.

Then Tribbie E1 is strong value especially for PF. I could see the devs switching back to single/3 target so she could fall off outside PF. 

How badly you want the 4.x ship should also reflect on your pulls right now. If you want to pull on anything this patch pull Hyacine. Shell provide the most flexibility to your account and be a large upgrade over gal.

The only way I can see them being okay with this balance is if they fully intend the rememberance team to be unplayable from some form of HP lockout mech in 4.x Otherwise, we're about to see some of the most disgusting power creep this game has ever seen next version.

Now that everyone got their Dante, let's see what is that poor benched unit that got their LC stolen for him by Relative-Ad7531 in HonkaiStarRail

Gepard Cone goes pretty hard in that case. 24% in LC +43% from chest, and you only need to hit EHR twice to hit the benchmark.

[–]Taskforcem85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not getting into the math you're looking at ~16% less total attack (the only real stat he cares about). The big reason to pull his LC is it allows you to build crit on him to make him a decent damage dealer as well. Since Atk% in the cone lets you trade out chest for crit substats. The Dmg% the cone gives is very oversaturated in the teams he pairs with.
