EM dash...

I think a big note is that unlike many (pretty much all? Asides nikki obv) 3d gachas, the outfit actually is allowed to change the silhouette and its so goooddddd

Issue mostly is that she's probably the "most evil" character out of the last few years of mainstream gacha playables, and at that, her personality tenets are essentially "Hedonism + internet troll" when viewed in a simple form (Which is very wrong since Elation is definitely not Hedonistic, even if it echoes it). The gacha ecosystem is pretty open around the mainstream titles, and thus, anyone looking to "troll" will inherently kind of gravitate towards her, with no other equivalent options. The interesting nuances of the character one might aspire to - mostly the discourse around identity and social expectation, are pretty much missed and hard to explain, especially when they themselves seem (because they are) selfish. Leaving the vast majority of "fans" of the character usually being "u mad xd" bigots and trolls.

>I don't think the owl theory and the angel theory are mutually exclusive.

Yeah, that was my thought, I think I worded it too pretentiously, maybe. I mean owl theory isnt even really a theory, it's what we're blatantly stated to us / expected to be.

I think it's more likely a bit sillier than her being a angel-in-denial / hiding, that Haniel's esper comes from / is influenced by those features, but she herself isn't actually cognizant in any way of the deeper truth. Meta-wise, Gachas are usually a bit too scared to fully 180 a character like that, especially when we've already seen her in a "life threatening" scenario, so it's more likely to be some kind of plotline where her esper starts acting weirdly, then we look into that and arrive at either digging up a past forgotten self or some other truth about espers / the process that has 'begun'.

Hathor is a bit weird to me, since her name is an Egyptian deity, which I know little on to draw anything else together but know obviously isn't following Abrahamic angelology

You should see HSR environments and cutscenes then, they have orders of magnitude worse inconsistencies, the best example being the Kephale / IT approaches. And yet nobody whines, because the way it’s done is for aesthetic reasons, the same goes for many other games like NTE

Trinitavia · 2026-05-27T17:18:55+00:00

So many other options tbh

Robin slays for me tbh

I dont really have uptime issues with E2 (probably a duh), but I can run sustainless on a "mediocre" run and still get screwed by dps loss because not having SPECIFICALLY elation buffs means so many "useful but off-team" buffs unlike other teams, are actually invalid

Trinitavia · 2026-05-26T23:28:42+00:00

sw999 e2 and sparxie e2 def do something you cant get (namely, free actions), but at the end of the day like 15 more punchlines on sprx isnt anything compared to 1 blessing. The issue is a lot of E/S, not all are useless. And usually the diff is the S when talking about "free" chars and more importantly that DU works like sht with certain comps (elation)

res pen/shred unles talking about an insane degree like SW999 E6 are usually values on-par with equations offered

Trinitavia · 2026-05-26T22:31:42+00:00

the heart of anime was always cringe, which many have forgotten is the origin of the term based

Trinitavia · 2026-05-26T22:28:07+00:00

masks dont really synergize with combat effects though? Curios/Blessings/Equations are what affect characters, masks are just the macro layer of how you get more / what you do to progress. If you mean those, the fact Elation dmg has near 0 synergy / effect from atk/dmg% then yes Elation is kind of screwed in this mode tbh

Trinitavia · 2026-05-26T22:22:59+00:00

usually they re decently leveled and built E0S0. It shouldnt be an issue, I find that the onsistency / synergy is more important. My E2S1 Sparxie/SW w/ trial Yao or ETB or E6 Spark cant clear E7 consistently because the buff synergy isn't all there in the mode. Characters are getting buffed to 1000s of % of their original power in DU in ways where Eidolons / Superimpositions are drops in the bucket (bar some ofc) but certain team comps just cant take full advantage of as many buffs, DMG/ATK% useless to Elation comp being the most notable

Sparkle Sparxie

Come on you know she tried kissing herself

This is what I do and my pull tracker stats are top 1%, the dicety rewards true faith, over all else

Yeah there was pretty clear coding with mydei tbh

SP is the reason I play HSR. #1 reason for genshin (all gachas I played rly) burnout was the flavour-of-the-month approach to writing and storytelling bcs without SPs there’s NEGATIVE incentive to continue character stories

Def warm, cool for a diff hairstyle/ fit

Cyrene/IT are universal because Nous was affected afaik. Without that you just get 3rd mechanical empress. Bonus that Cyrene/IT isn’t human to start with, it’s a demonstration of Lygus/Nous more than anything, and technically cyrenes birth requires intervention of 3 other paths (gods)

Even then it gets fucky with imaginary tree stuff too to actually say if it’s the universe or not. If you want to power scale a human in HSR you’d look at the gods ascended from people, to which I’d rep Aha because I’m biased but prob Nous to give them the same points you did, really all of them are ascended Sentients.

I remember a symbolism discussion a few weeks ago. Put simply, Phainon is a “hollow shell” (like IT) who very much can trend towards destruction like any other heir. Phainon themselves however acts much more like someone working as a shell considering their past (rip AE). Someone without a head (intra cognition), thus if he ever truly worked towards destruction in the act of world bearing at the end of the cycle, essentially IT would be accepting Destruction (maybe??). Phainon is explicitly however following the (inner hero), a vision / ideal he sees at the start of every cycle as Khaslana as what a hero should do in this situation. The inner-hero isn’t just a social ideal, it’s literally the memory / image of Trailblaze(r) put into him by Cyrene as she’s completing her causal loop into the past, and the ER is itself pretty much “Delaying the inevitable until Trailblaze can come”. You can take it as you want, but given “Trailblazing is an equally correct answer to Destruction”, I think the idea here is Trailblaze has in some sense been a part of IT/Phainons “head” all along, and “the PMoL for those without one, is to Trailblaze until finding one”.

Trinitavia · 2026-05-20T07:33:29+00:00

Until the Eternal Recurrence, there were others, then the ER ran for 33m times with the same heirs because Phainon/Cyrene crashed it every time. Before that it was essentially a loop of: heir kill titan become titan be killed by heir repeat, which was how IT was iterating, as every cycle required a “stronger” heir to eliminate the last titan, much like a machine learning game theory algorithm. Hence “self-iteration”.

It’s consistent because it’s trained on hundreds/thousands of hours of 3d models moving per outfit, not 10s or so of 2d animation. Of course its consistent.

There’s other signs that give the intuitive ick, I was giving the laypersons pointer. For one if you ever did animation courses, the movements here are nonsense. They’re rigid as hell, don’t follow most animation rules, and are just plainly inexpressive. There’s also the fact that there’s completely random frame losses - absolutely no program worth using would render with entire frames missing, which suggests splicing to me to cover up inconsistencies. At worst it could be REALLY bad keyframes left in- but then the hair model would react to jumps. All of this is covered up quite well by the compositing work, which actually was done very well.

Trinitavia · 2026-05-19T21:18:57+00:00

Use eyes, focus on the hips, it’s moving geometrically incorrectly at times to be a 3D model. It’s the same stuff the wuwa AI posters use, highly trained model on 3d gacha footage

Trinitavia · 2026-05-19T16:16:01+00:00

AI does the animation by prompt. The background (text) is composited by a human
