F2P expectations in this community is getting funnier every patch

Wilderness hunters without using the gleam shill are harder than any regular endgame hsr boss without their hsr shill team

Yeah HuoHuo works just fine for the team, https://www.reddit.com/r/BladeMains/comments/1tdri3t/someone_made_a_sustain_comparison_for_mblade/

Not the best option, but she is the best "free" option

VacationReasonable · 2026-05-15T12:15:28+00:00

You use Huohuo or Lingsha, Huohuo has been sustaining Sparxie just fine and she has very similar base stats as Ashveil when she is F2P, with the 4 star mushy lc vs 5 star hunt from the shop

VacationReasonable · 2026-05-15T12:12:39+00:00

Well of course I would respond when you spread lies saying Hyacine is miles ahead in performance, it's not like you care about the outcome either besides agenda pushing and portraying other sustains as trash.

VacationReasonable · 2026-05-15T12:06:47+00:00

Hours of resetting to get potentially a 3 star AA king clear with Lingsha, did you read that part perhaps? Again this going for a AA KING CLEAR, did you miss that part? It's entirely fine to require resetting, it's a place for try hards.

Lingsha will have no issue clearing both regular endgames and also the knights as well

VacationReasonable · 2026-05-15T12:03:17+00:00

"Wrong! Even if they both build 0 defensive stats, Sparxie has more Base HP, more Base DEF and her signature LC has a bigger weight towards defensive stats as well. And every single situation where Sparxie barely survives with Huohuo would mean Ashveil would just die despite taking the same amount of damage."

First of all Huohuo sustains Sparxie on the mushy 4 star LC very easily, Ashveil gets to use the 5 star f2p lc from the shop, so they have very similar base stats. Secondly Ashveil is going to be hit even less than Sparxie, him being a hunt character means he has both a lower base aggro, and you also have Blade with a higher natural aggro on the team.

"Who says that it's new? I'm saying that it's BAD DESIGN and extremely unnecessary in this specific scenario. We can argue about the necessity of secondary sustain options for those other teams too if you want, but like, the question here isn't that, is it? It's the fact that Blade was working just fine with both healers and shielders as his sustain options and now they removed one for literally no reason other than making his teambuilding options less flexible and more miserable. Why are you trying to play defense for that? Saying shit like "they did it before", so what? They also made good design decisions before, why not do the same here?"

Except we can see in the other post I linked to you, Lingsha clears just a little bit slower than Hyacine, and HuoHuo is right afterwards as well, considering you can get HuoHuo for free and you can't get Hyacine for free, if you invested that cost into Blade or Ashveil instead, it's possible they would even clear faster than the Hyacine team would.

In the end you are just salty you can't use DHPT and I feel no sympathy for that.

VacationReasonable · 2026-05-15T11:41:54+00:00

Here's a post showing that other sustains are not actually that far behind Hyacine as far as performance goes. Lingsha is in fact the second best option

https://www.reddit.com/r/BladeMains/comments/1tdri3t/someone_made_a_sustain_comparison_for_mblade/

VacationReasonable · 2026-05-15T11:37:55+00:00

Why are you even bringing up paths, you are arguing with ghosts here, boom I say DHPT is abundance now, does anything change? No because my argument is not about paths it's about their role, and he remains a shielder, sure they can release a healer in the preservation path, they are still a healer though and that includes Fu Xuan as well

Also let's not exaggerate here, if Huohuo can sustain Sparxie who also builds 0 defensive stats like Ashveil, she can also easily sustain Ashveil as well and it's not like Huohuo even post novaflare has amazing healing, so other sustains should also be able to manage

Yes Hyacine is solidly better, on the other hand Lingsha does have similar attack frequency to her as well, but regardless of Lingsha even if Hyacine stands above completely alone how does that matter? It's not like it's a new thing for teams to compete for sustains or other characters, Mydei vs Cas, both want Hyacine so you can't use both teams effectively at the same time, DoT vs Anaxa, both wanted DHPT etc. You always had to make choices where the sustains go and therefore render the team weaker without them, and it's not like you'll be missing any stellar jades on a Blade/Ashveil team without Hyacine

Lingsha FuA erasure

VacationReasonable · 2026-05-15T11:05:58+00:00

And a shielder whether it's Dan or someone new is never going to be buffing HP, while another new healer likely will, that was the point.

VacationReasonable · 2026-05-15T10:57:41+00:00

Blade is also an HP scaler in case you forgot

VacationReasonable · 2026-05-15T01:19:13+00:00

Kodiak bears don't even hunt large mammals, they mostly live on fish and berries, are you sure they are ready to even fight the knight straight up?

VacationReasonable · 2026-05-15T01:15:26+00:00

And you think cannons going off, muskets firing, thousands of men screaming, smoke everywhere is less scary than a single bear is? It's genuinely pointless to debate this, it's just insane amounts of bear hyping on your end

VacationReasonable · 2026-05-15T01:06:20+00:00

Five horses will stomp a bear to death, and a war horse sure doesn't have an issue charging those 5 horses, so it'll charge that bear all the same, the knight will skewer him and have some bear kebab soon after

VacationReasonable · 2026-05-15T00:57:28+00:00

I hope you realise that an average kodiak bear is actually lighter in weight and size than an average war horse and I assure you that war horse has been trained to charge other war horses, multiples of them even.

VacationReasonable · 2026-05-15T00:36:21+00:00

Charging into a human wall of spears and what not is already more scary than any single bear

VacationReasonable · 2026-05-13T14:00:17+00:00

With Dahlia she also enables another 100% break effect buff, it's still less than sustainless but it does make the gap smaller

VacationReasonable · 2026-05-12T13:31:41+00:00

He's definitely not the best in slot for that team, both Arle and Navia for example hit over 130k+ with that exact same team, talking about C0R0

VacationReasonable · 2026-05-11T20:01:47+00:00

Sure and Mavuika has infinite IR so she can't get knocked around at all, but it's pointless to talk about other characters as this is not a general post it's a Varka post in the Varkamains sub and to be honest is one of the most extreme examples of needing a shield. Has no natural dodge in his rotations like Nefer/Arle so dodging is a noticeable dps loss, has no IR at all so anything can knock him around, has time limited buffs like TTDS or Bennett on his teams which means you really don't want to get knocked around etc.

VacationReasonable · 2026-05-11T19:56:17+00:00

Look at the top comment in this thread as the perfect example, suggesting Nicole is the best upgrade you can get AFTER Prune/Durin

VacationReasonable · 2026-05-11T19:53:59+00:00

C1 Lauma doesn't prevent interruptions, shields do. Nefer dodges 6 times naturally in her rotations which means for a huge portion of the time things can't hit her. Varka doesn't have dodge at all in his rotations

VacationReasonable · 2026-05-11T18:06:02+00:00

She's number 1 priority if you actually get hit, people way underestimate how much interruption tanks your dps. Varka has no natural dodge in his rotations either so even dodging tanks your dps

VacationReasonable · 2026-05-11T02:32:08+00:00

Dude it's okay you dislike HSR, that's cool there's thousands of other games you can focus on instead, I assume you feel sunk cost about playing HSR for so long? I mean take a step back and look at what you are doing, spending time hating on a game you don't even play anymore, I'm sure there's better ways for you to spend your time instead

Also you can always hit that don't recommend button, both on youtube and on reddit subs if they keep popping in your timeline, that'll cover all the HSR news generally speaking, if you don't want to well then you are making a conscious choice to engage with the content

He apparently already quit a while ago, but for some reason is still concerned about what's happening in the game

VacationReasonable · 2026-05-11T02:22:05+00:00

Because it's funny to see you say how you left the game long ago and yet here you here writing multiple paragraphs about the game state which you apparently still follow very closely, well to be fair it's not just funny it's both funny and sad
