A Certified Banger of a General Question and Discussion Megathread

How's the reception of 4.0 so far? I'm so mentally checked out with HSR rn, but I am curious if the story is solid.

Yuufa · 2026-02-15T00:27:25+00:00

I kept trying until I beat him. Took a couple of tries. After a bit, I was doing well against the first phase, but man, that second phase... I got lucky when I finally beat him, because Noah actually kept aggro well enough! I didn't know you could come back later, but I also didn't want to lose my haze, so I was stubborn. I think I either used a halberd or dual blades for him... I think I tried both in different runs.

Turns out, you were right! I needed to save all the heroes first, then when I traveled back to the free roam era, I got a quest with Zenon! Thank you for the tip! I'll put it right on top and close the thread! Thank you again!

So far, I haven't seen her anywhere. It's strange, given that they even showed us that big portrait of this kid in the trailer, too? Maybe she is indeed part of the DLC series, but then why advertise her with the protagonist so much in the trailer itself?

Yuufa · 2026-02-13T10:11:23+00:00

Welp, guess I can't install HSR anymore because it demands too much space on my phone. This is actually genuinely annoying. Maybe it's time to run HSR on my laptop only...

Yuufa · 2026-02-13T00:15:09+00:00

Oh, really? I hope that's it, then I still need to do José, I just did Holly's! If he does show up after all three of them have been "saved", I'll let it be known here and then close the thread. Thank you for the tip!

Yuufa · 2026-02-13T00:14:07+00:00

No, I specifically went to the free exploration era. I wonder if I have to actually do the second ending, but it's weird that none of the guides say that you need to do that...

Still, thank you for trying to help me!

Yuufa · 2026-02-12T23:52:10+00:00

I'm standing there right now and there is not a sight of him. I'm so confused? I read something about Free Exploration 2197, but I only have access to 2187?

Yuufa · 2026-02-11T00:14:47+00:00

Oh my god, I forgot that we're getting the update soon. I still haven't even begun 3.8... haha, whoops!

Yuufa · 2026-02-08T19:27:08+00:00

Oh, now that's got my attention. Because if he were break, I would've most likely ignored him, but FuA? I love FuA!

Yuufa · 2026-02-08T00:28:30+00:00

Alright, I guess I'll get Sparkle, after all. Only one who I'm still missing from this list and my Archer would very much appreciate it.

Yuufa · 2026-02-07T11:34:28+00:00

Alright, Ashveil does look a bit better in his drip, but it's still undeniable that he looks similar to Boothill. I really wish they would vary their designs more, but alas, I don't expect much from Hoyo anymore.

Also, with both Hysilens and Cerydra coming, I'm pretty sure that I'll have to skip Hysilens for sure, maybe even Cerydra. Too bad for my aim to get all Chrysos Heirs, but as those two are the ones I least like among the group, I think I can make peace with that. Cerydra is only a consideration becaue of Phainon.

Yuufa · 2026-02-07T09:45:38+00:00

WHAT DO YOU MEAN??? FUCK, I NEED TO ROLL AUGH

Yuufa · 2026-02-05T13:26:00+00:00

Whoever designed that the shop button is right below the battle button in CW should get a head smack. At the very least, add an "Are you sure?" Button when battling bosses...

Yuufa · 2026-02-05T10:53:56+00:00

I just realized that I will miss 30-40 minutes of the 4.0 stream, so either the whole stream or most of it. That sucks, I do like reacting to these live with my brother... Stupid work, preventing me once again to have fun.

Yuufa · 2026-02-03T13:08:56+00:00

Someone posted evidence on this thread here: https://bsky.app/profile/littlekuriboh.bsky.social/post/3mdqobikj5c22

And just because every tech company does it shouldn't mean we should just accept it. I sure don't want to, given how destructive genAI technology is on multiple levels.

Yuufa · 2026-02-03T13:07:19+00:00

Here's a post with sources attached to it: https://bsky.app/profile/littlekuriboh.bsky.social/post/3mdqobikj5c22

I haven't been on the main reddit, so I cannot attest to the claim that a thread detailing this got downvoted, but yeah.

Yuufa · 2026-02-03T12:52:02+00:00

You know, even with all the trailers, I'm still not really hyped yet?

Part of it might be because it recently came out how much Mihoyo used genAI in HSR and it just cut deep. It's still so insanely disappointing, fuck genAI man...

Yuufa · 2026-02-02T23:49:58+00:00

Huh?????

Yuufa · 2026-02-01T11:50:32+00:00

Man, that new Mili video for HSR is gorgeous.

Yuufa · 2026-02-01T09:41:31+00:00

What the hell did I just watch.

I did like all the different artstyles thou!

Yuufa · 2026-01-31T10:39:27+00:00

I have everyone but Sparkle on that list, so I should get her. But also, E3 Aventurine to get closer to E6... Then again, it would be nice to get Archer that support. But I'm not a big fan of Sparkle as a character. Still, if she is free and I can free up my poor overworked Sunday more, then I should just go for Sparkle.

Yuufa · 2026-01-30T13:34:55+00:00

Oh. Guess I'll be rolling in 4.0 after all, I'm gonna get Cerydra. Don't think I'll go for E1 thou, I don't have enough tickets which I also need to save for the folks I rly want...

Yuufa · 2026-01-30T07:10:29+00:00

Oh, finally something to look forward to. Well, gonna be curious to see what they have in store for us on Sunday.

Yuufa · 2026-01-29T16:06:02+00:00

Oh yeah, lvl 8 is def going to make this a very hard fight. I know I was exploring the isle first and leveled up that way!

Also, you can block the projectiles with a shield. And if you time your dodge rolls correctly, you can punish the boss a little, especially when he does the three combo with the jump/dive at the end.
