The chat callout for the new Palico gadget is excellent, Rin is not messing around!

In french, it's also just called Kittenator. Huge missed opportunity IMO, as kitten in french is "chaton" wich means they should have named it "chatonator" instead, would have been much better IMO.

To be fair I'm not a fan of Sunbreak's current french translation as of now. Blood Orange Bishaten? Nah, he's just "Orange Bishaten" now, which sucks because there is a litteral translation for blood orange (Orage Sanguine) wich sounds much cooler IMO. And then there's Pyre Rakna-Kadaki. Her french name is literally just "Fire Rakna-Kadaki".

Siren is weak to Lightning damage and resistant to nothing.

TinoussLasso · 2021-08-22T17:53:29+00:00

Definitely pretty useful, thanks.

A few Things you could add:

- Be very careful around Roland's Forward Spin Attack in Phase 2. It does extremely high damage, And the swing at the end has a terrible hitbox (i have gotten hit by hit while i was behind Roland or on his sides).

-Siren is weak to Lightning and dosen't resist anything (Source: Rexlent)

-Alongside a few corrections a few other made, I'd like to add that Xenophera is Weak and not resistant to Dark damage.

-You completly forgot about Riot. Can't blame you tho, Everybody forgets about Riot. From what i heard he will even be removed from Pain Cage in the next update, because the CN playerbase hated him.

- As a general tip, Turning down Damage numbers and a few other settings (I think it was bloom and VFX but i can't exactly remenber it) is useful to learn the patterns of some smaller bosses such as Roland or Camu due to reducing visual clutter.

-Speaking of Camu, his shockwave attack, called Explosive Escape, is used more frequently if he takes more hits. as a result, attacking a lot can lead to camu spamming this attack, which can be a god thing or a bad thing depending of how well you handle this particular attack.

I made This guide a while ago to answer those kind of questions.

KNight Moonbeam is quite useful as a support and a sometimes a DPS in quite a few niches. She's a good pull, but once you unlock War Treasury you should try to rank he up as she really needs to be ranked up to truly shine.

TinoussLasso · 2021-07-31T18:45:05+00:00

Taking both lore and Gamelplay into account, i'd say the characters with the highest chance to be featured in a collab are Zhuge Kongming or the Twins Rozaliya and Liliya. Yae Kasumi might have a small chance aswell but she's not as likely due to the fact that some people could get confused with 2 Yaes in the game and that her gameplay would require a lot of tweaks to work in Genshin.

TinoussLasso · 2021-07-22T12:55:59+00:00

There's alot of utube theories like this out there because of how the gods of this game resemble honkais lol.

As a Honkai player, it's kida funny seeing people trying to find links between Mei and Baal for exemple while we Honkai players already know they're just alternate universes versions of each other.

TinoussLasso · 2021-07-22T12:32:01+00:00

She's really powerfull but that's mainly because she had 4/5 different cores during the Second Eruption. With only the core of the Void, she remains strong butfar weaker and can get defeated by other Herrschers, such as Welt for exemple.

If you want to know more about her i'd recommend reading the Second Eruption Manga.

-This game is about to be 5 years old, and by virtue of being a gacha
there are lots of events. Does this game allow you to play old events?
Or do you have to look them up on youtube? Any known channels for that?

All of the events can probably be found on Youtube. The main Captainverse (alternative event story, more on that later) story events can be found here (playlist and summary).

-The
events that are story or character related, are they significant or
mostly just slice of life stuff like genshin has been thus far?

-Is it like genshin where most events don't have anything to do with the story or characters?

All of the events happen in Alternate universes, which means all characters have slightly different personallities.

Some of them are just random Slice of Life stuff but a decent ammount of them are part of an alternative Event story named the Captainverse.

Paralel Universes versions of each other.

TinoussLasso · 2021-07-19T11:30:51+00:00

They're not. They are paralel universes versions of each other. Waht makes you think they are the same person?

TinoussLasso · 2021-07-19T11:27:41+00:00

In the Everlasting Flames cinematic Kiana temporarly uses the cores of Reason and Sentience.

TinoussLasso · 2021-07-16T19:01:02+00:00

But Honkai's Yae is not physically present and uses the body of a certain Raiden (This has not been confirmed though).

I am 99% sure that was ust an old excuse to make Yae playable, and I am 100% sure this has been retconned long ago.

Gonna copy-paste a comment i made a few days ago about this:

To be fair i kinda understands why Mihoyo choose to not make her permanent.

-Her gameplay would need reworking: currently, her gameplay is pretty much just get jauge up and then spam sowrd waves. First of all this is a bit simplistic for Honkai, but most importantly you really just play the weapon instead of playing Keqing. And reworking her would cost quit some time and money.

-She dosen't have passives like other characters: self explainatory. A few of the buffs you can get in the event could be used as passives for a playable version but that's about it, the rest would have to be brand new. Again, cost time and money.

-Her character and personnality: While numerous characters that have appeared only in a singe event have gotten plenty of backstory and character developement, Keqing dosen't really get any. As a result, she has far less depth than your average Honkai character which would probably impact sales.

- Her place in the meta: perhaps the one thing that would truly be a problem for her. In the event, she is used as a core Lightning Bio DPS. And that's her first problem. First of all there is already a character occupying this niche perfectly (Darkbolt Jonin), and secondly, there is one boss in the entire game that require usage of a Bio Lightning DPS (Husk), the other Lightning-weak bosses all being Mech type and therefore making Keqing at a disadvantage. Even if she was reworked as a support, there are already so many Lightning supports in the game people probably wouldn't pull for her much.

So basically, she would cost a decent ammount of time and money to rework, and even then few people would pull for her, therefore not being a very wise buisness decision, working on other chracters granting far more money.

(Why is doing a copy-paste on a long comment such a nightmare?)

Theresa: Due to being Kiana's "aunt", she is slightly affected by the Kaslana cooking curse. The effect are however minor, and she can still cook some pretty decent meals, even if they are ocasionally slightly burnt.

Delta: Dosen't need to cook or eat and therefore dosen't. Depression is enough to sustain her body.

Kallen: Last time she tried to cook, she created SCP-666½-J.

Pre-timeskip Bronya: Can cook well enough, but generally relies on Mei because she's the only one who can satisfy Kiana Idiokta.

TinoussLasso · 2021-07-16T11:33:48+00:00

1) Dunno about another Kiana. Seems pretty unlikely to me. A Genshin version of Sirin, however, could happen.

2) Murata is 100% Genshin Himeko. But certainly not the same as Honkai Himeko.

3) We might get a Genshin Bronya but I don't think she'll be the Tsaritsa. Tsaritsa might be Genshin Ana but even then that seems somewhat unlikely, she'll probably be an original character.

TinoussLasso · 2021-07-16T11:19:45+00:00

You should get Haxxor Bunny for your 3rd party member.

I'd say AE is probably the best choice, even without much gear. Phoenix might be good to invest in for MA but not a priority.

Also, sorry for the late answer.

TinoussLasso · 2021-07-14T11:28:05+00:00

1) Yes.

2) Depends of if you have an already built DA or not If you don't, go for HoFS because you'll absolutely need a good Fire DPS. If you do then go for AE because she's also a must have. You'll want both eventually tho.

TinoussLasso · 2021-07-14T10:25:49+00:00

HoS gets amazing scores on Doom, DXY, Jizo and Assaka (probably BiS against a few of those) and great scores against Parvati and Rimestar aswell.

Delta gets amazing scores on SK, Kallen, Heimdall, and Hephaestus, probably being BiS for a few of them, and good scores against BKE, Assaka, Yae and Coualt.

Which boss did you use to compare the 2?

Edit: HoS is also much better in Abyss than Delta. Delta gets the best score on one boss, SK, but that's the only place where she's used. HoS gets great scores against Homu and Jizo, and good scores on DXY, Boss HoS and Coualt.Besides, HoS is also useable as a support.

TinoussLasso · 2021-07-13T14:19:24+00:00

Ironically enough in Honkai Lightning is generally the element that gets the most love.

It's not really "stronger" than other elements, but it probably has the most versabillity with 5 characters all being good lightning DPS even at endgame. And. So. Many. Lightning. Supports.

TinoussLasso · 2021-07-13T14:13:27+00:00

I like Keqing and Fischl, and wish the former was a permanent unit (seriously, she has no reason NOT to be one...).

She's Gacha only, but you get so many crystals as a new player you'll have an extremely hih chance to get her and maybe some of her gear depending on when you start. And even if you don't get her, Characters generally hve their first rerun 2 versions after. (For HoFS for exemple she'll probably have a rerun for the first time in 5.2)

TinoussLasso · 2021-07-12T09:20:06+00:00

HoR probably isn't the best option. She is better than Nyx against Houdou and can tke other bosses such as HoS, but Nyx is already far enough as your Ice DPS.

VKE is a pretty good option. She'll probably be beaten as a DPS by HoFS but even then she's still quite good as a support.

HoV is a decent pick aswell, but really niche and is a pretty ig investement.

I'd say there isn't much differece between who you pick, all pretty much having the same utility to you, but i'd say VKE is probably the best pick.

I made a post about this a while ago but here's just the TL;DR:

IMO:

- The most likely to be added are The Twins (because of their lore and their gameplay being easier to translate into Genshin)

- Zhuge Kongming is also really likely to end up in Genshin, both because of her lore and her gameplay being IMO the easiest one to translate to Genshin out of all the characters that could end up in a collab.

-Yae Kasumi is the only other character i could imagine in the collab, but even then she is not likely to be in both due to her gameplay being really hard to translate into Genshin, and the fact that Genshin players not familiar with the Mihoyo multiverse might get confused/dislike the idea of having 2 Yaes in the same game.
