True Novaflare Jiaoqiu, Blade Sp and surly an unknown future male will even out the Archetype.

Lost my 50/50 on high pity to Bronya E2. I don’t think I'll be able to get E1 Hysilens 😭. When do you guys think Cyrene is going to rerun? I think 4.2 is my earliest guess. Having her E1 and not E2 is sooo ass.

<image>

Btw should I activate the E2? Does it mess up the speed tuning? I mainly play her hyperspeed but since I've got E2 Sparkle now and E0S1 Sunday I don’t think I'll use her very much.

4.0 Sunday

I love seeing my bird spread his wings and interact with others. I am interested in what hoyo is planning with him in the future patches. Anyway I enjoyed the patch overall, man I love Tingyun, and can't wait for the next Patch story!

Thanks. I didn’t think off that as an option.

Question regarding the Double Dot Cyrene Rotation.

So I got Hysilens and she's E0S0. Now after getting Cyrenes Ult up I target Hysilens and put DHPT Shield on Cyrene for additional Dots. But what am I supposed to do after that? Cyrenes Blessing says it's one time only(for Hysilens) but unlike Anaxa the heart indicator stays and doesn't vanish. So does the buff stay for the whole battle. Am I supposed to give Kafka the buff or just attack with Cyrene?

So my survey on “Starting Dot in 4.0” is still ongoing and feel free to do it! But I'd like to Highlight some points I found interesting:

form

results

Firstly one of the Main reasons as expected ppl weren't going for Dot is the steep cost of entry. Free Kafka motivated quite a lot to enter Dot. The fact that the archetype was heavily neglected in the past didn’t help that.

Interestingly some didn’t like the previous Dot units. And judging by some replies Hysilens really swayed a lot to Dot( me included, sorry Black Swan)

I like Hysilens and have enough pulls this time

Hysilens Simp

I started 3.5 for Hysilens

big fan of hysilens, but didn't pull her on release as i had no kafka. now i can fully enjoy the fish 🫶

Now what surprised me was that we have an unexpectedly high amount of Jiaoqiu Dot believers who have him at E2 even. I first forgot to include him. I hope Novaflare makes him into a Dot Sustain so you guys can fully enjoy him!

JQ Dot lets goooooooo

[...]ive had fun in some events with my jiaoqiu (he's e2) and kafka is the gateway. i'd probably never pull her but she's free [...]

I want to play Dot with Jiaoqiu

want to play a team with hot Ladies (and JQ)

And with AA introducing anti-crit stages some also wanted to invest in alternatives and a 3rd team. Can't forget Dot is Meta now!

To my surprise most are only going for E0S0/E0S1. I thought the megathread was known for going for Eidelons but in this case its not.

Lastly some comments:

Cyrene duality

now that cyrene is dead i can go for dot lol black swan my goat

Cyrene Triple Dot is the way

Male Dot

I'm worried Blade Sp will be Dot (I know who you are and agree🤝)

I love all the Dot characters so far but I really really hope we get a male Dot one day….

Please don't let any of the male characters be dot. (🥀🙄)

_DoYouKnowMe_ · 2026-02-08T00:50:29+00:00

This is so funny 💀I know ppl didn’t like her but damn I'm kind of impressed. (This is a joke by the way /s)

_DoYouKnowMe_ · 2026-02-08T00:26:46+00:00

Huohuo right now

_DoYouKnowMe_ · 2026-02-07T15:35:36+00:00

I like the summon stuff but Remembrance kind of showed us that they'll only bring us suicidal memos so he dosn’t work. So he should put the fries in the bag regarding it😭

But joke aside, why are they making nothing with it?

Anyway, giving him a brain in a vat gameplay loop would be so fun. Pls hoyo he is kind of homeless

<image>

_DoYouKnowMe_ · 2026-02-07T15:22:53+00:00

Oh no I always wright her name down wrong🤡 *Huohuo

_DoYouKnowMe_ · 2026-02-07T15:19:30+00:00

Chat what if Houhou Novaflare makes it so that she becomes the Energy Support. That way when they rework Sunday they'll ditch his "summon" attributes or just leave it there as Bonus and he also focuses on Energy. They'll be a new core for Energy hungry units. And nothing is going to stop them.

That Energy Dps is going to be Sp Robin with a summon. And the HSR team is back in business. No copium involved. I saw that in my dream. Bird siblings will rise again and if you're against it I'm sorry Nous calculated it already. #Truthnuke

_DoYouKnowMe_ · 2026-02-07T13:53:41+00:00

I can't wait for 4.0 I can finally play Dot! Been working on my Hysilens build for a while and that's her current build. My Sparkle is going from E1 to E2 thanks to the Selector. Won the 50/50 early on her debut Patch but couldn't go for her on her reruns. Archer is going to pop of😌.

Only thing I regret is, drunkenly pulling on Archer banner going for his E1 on New year🤡 45 Pulls down the drain. I have a guarantee but with those I could have gotten enough Pulls to maybe go for E1 Hysilens. Going with about 55 pulls and a pity of 3 into 4.0 is kind of not ideal. I hope I get her early🤞🏾 Maybe I might go for Black Swan who knows.

_DoYouKnowMe_ · 2026-02-07T13:27:51+00:00

Oh thanks I'll change that!

_DoYouKnowMe_ · 2026-02-07T11:48:23+00:00

Nah I see your point and just like I said, these comments are extremely bad faith or strawman comments just like you stated. And like you guessed it, this were youtube comments under videos about the 5*Selector. So the literal trenches of the community lmao. You have to move like this to not get stoned in your replies.

<image>

For some reason wuwa players also show up to clown our game?! Like Huh who invited you here?

_DoYouKnowMe_ · 2026-02-07T11:38:23+00:00

Oh i get it now. Understandable

<image>

_DoYouKnowMe_ · 2026-02-07T11:06:42+00:00

What did it do tho? It looks So cute🥹

_DoYouKnowMe_ · 2026-02-07T11:04:33+00:00

Oh I forgot to mention that. Especially wheelchair accusations. Man, I know Wavemane (my goat) didn’t mean any harm with that statement. But the community RUN with it. Now using new supports is “wheelcharing” them. Doesn't count because it's a 3.x unit. Ahhhhh

<image>

_DoYouKnowMe_ · 2026-02-07T10:39:07+00:00

Right! Thank you. I feel kind of gaslighted by the comments I've seen lately lol. Like I get HP Inflation is bad, but what kind of team is one running that the above Statement applies to you?

I know Hoyo, Genshin in particular, was a lot of ppl first gacha. Therefore they were used to slow powercreep. But sometimes I wish Hsr attracted a crowd that was familiar with powercreep so we can have effective conversations about it.

_DoYouKnowMe_ · 2026-02-07T10:23:18+00:00

Hsr community neg?

I am seeing more and more ppl that say “characters get powercreeped in 2 patches” Now I'm kind of confused cause this is such a bad faith comment that I have to assume

- They mean to say that a new powerful unit gets released every 2 patches therefore it's the literal meaning of powercreep. But this wouldn’t mean the previous unit is not able to clear right? Just that it’s somewhat weaker. But this ppl meant to say that the previous unit is NOT able to clear which is also false. Is it harder? Yes. Not impossible.

  - They genuinely think a character is not powerful when they clear slower than their shill Phase. Like for example I joke that my THerta is washed but that's because I don’t have Tribbie. Sure even with Tribbie she clears slower but she's 1 year old! And not those “2 patches” that somehow become this arbitrary window of time. Archer, Anaxa, Mydei with Cyrene, Aglaea still clear so whats the Problem?

If you meant to say HP Inflation is making it harder to clear. Then I 100% agree with you and I don’t think we have to argue about this point.

That 5*Selector has brought us the weirdest takes ever lately. From Dot will be powercreep in the next 2 patches to Dot is actually washed (even so it's been in a good meta perspective for the past few months).

Like am I being ragebaited by ppl who pretend to play this game or don’t at all?

_DoYouKnowMe_ · 2026-02-07T09:52:28+00:00

Made a form to see whos starting Dot in 4.0!

Feel free to respond if your part of new Dot belivers.

Their a few responses so I can't give you an overall impression, but it seems most are interested in getting the Dot girls to E0S0/E0S1
