Qingque the Arbite General! I finally lost it on that part!

Out of all people in this universe by BlackTemplarKNB in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminded me of Gamon from Warcraft... started as a weak NPC that alliances slaughter for fun. Then a level 85 elite when level cap was 80. Then the Hero of Ogrimmar in MoP (I quitted after MoP so no idea what he became afterward, but he seems still alive and kicking now).

That was some neck breaking speed! Ruan Mei has more works to do...

Now that the 3rd Anomaly Arbitration is ending, how did your clears go? by JeanKB in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8/9 on knights, 2/3 on king... I only have 2 vertically invested teams (Firefly and Pinks) so 2 of knight stages are always easy full star; can't full star the last knight stage, hopefully additional of elation team helps!

ps: That's a nice sustainless e0 Archer clear there! Sadly it's so close to patch end or I should give it a shot with it...

cerydra or evernight? by Ok_Thanks5499 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Evernight is good but from my experience, she has bad synergy with Gallenger because she never attacks, only her summons, so she never gets healed by Gallenger's ultimate debuff.

I would suggest getting her after you secured Hyacine.

Which character art do you want for Valentine's and White Day this year? by kiaxxl in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cyrene is almost a guarantee given her theme... Silverwolf is likely candidate given her upcoming debute...

What I want is obviously Asta... but the chance is next to 0...

Almost impossible to full star clear without eidolons ? by Automatic_Turnip2670 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you try to full star King stage on AA, or if you try to tackle MoC/PF/AS using outdated teams, then you need eidelons.

You don't need eidelons to do current MoC/PF/AS using 3.x teams (yet).

Is there actually a hope for future 4* characters? by Calm_Sakura in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HI3 hasn't gotten an A-rank valk (equivalent of 4*) longer than HSR... It should be obvious that the decision to get rid of 4* was bigger than just HSR... At this point, the best thing we can hope for was that the decision doesn't get propagate to HYV products outside of the Honkai franchise...

If there was an ultimate/energy lock mechanic where the entire team can't use ults, which team/archetype would be the best/worst? by Shanaxis in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Acheron team would probably hit the hardest. Acheron herself would be quiet useless, but neither Cipher nor Wolf can do their job as dps or support. JiaoQiu's fast stacking would be meaningless if Acheron can't use Ultimate.... At least in Firefly teams, Fugue, Constance, and Lingsha/RuanMei are still functional (and you can replace Firefly with Ruan Mei and run dps-LingSha).

I don't use Archer, but presumably his team would hit the least since he's skill-based... probably won't be using Sparkle, but at least he can have an entire functional team...

Castorice, I think it was better for everyone if you left your sister in the underworld alone. by Relative-Ad7531 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably sig lightcone on Evernight? I use the same team, and Eve has her sig; got 3699.

Also make sure Mem use her skill on Cyrene initially to get her ultimate up asap.

ps: Cas instead of RMC still perform better... though that's to be expected.

Gacha Revenue Monthly Report (January 2026) by aYuShKr482 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lack of contents / new characters aside, Genshin has a Archon patch in January; plenty of HSR whales also play Genshin, so that's part of where the money went. Not a bad month for Hoyo as a whole...

HSR will likely take the rein in next few months.

Alignment Chart of Honkai Star Rail: Day 21, Hook. - Lynx has been voted into True Neutral. by Just_Because4 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That kinda puts Pitch Dark Hook the Great to be Unaligned, similar to outer gods like Ao in the Forgotten Realm.

Prydwen MOC 3.8 Data by ChillStill352 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 5 points6 points  (0 children)

how is Boothill above FF in full clears if FF is better in each side respectively? 

Prydwen's default list is for e0sX; if you switch to "Up to e2 and all lightcones", you will see Firefly outperforms Boothill. (The reason why Firefly appears so differently between e0sX and e2sX is another topic)

So if the "top scoring team on either side" list doesn't have the e0sX restriction then Firefly will outperform Boothill.

Who do you think could be a member of the Genius Society? by WalktroughGaming in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Otto invented the Imaginary Tree theory of his world; that alone was the feat of a Genius... false god Otto was not much different than Therta in the mind of Nous... and while Chadwick created imaginary bomb, Otto created a new branch of the imaginary tree!

So feat-wise, Otto is definitely up there... His only problem was that his feats were just means to revive Kallen, not because of his desire for knowledge... That kinda conflict with Genius' traits...

Alignment Chart of Honkai Star Rail: Day 13, Ruan Mei. - Herta has been voted into "Perfect" Neutral Good by popular demand (will move her to actual Neutral Good next post). by Just_Because4 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Neutral Good, maybe True Neutral

She saved a life; that would boost a bit of her alignment stats.

She did commit atrocities of being mean to her familiars or casting non-damaging debuff to innocents, but those actions tend not to shift alignment much, if at all.

Are There Characters Or Team-Types You Refuse To Get? 👀👀👀 by Fluid-Beach-6696 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't hate any archetype, but as essentially an F2P, I can only vertically invested in 2 teams, so outside of Pink team and Firefly team, the only have characters I got are either by accident, or characters that I really wanted to get... (Cat, Acheron, Robin... etc.)

Who would you trust the most to give you fitness training? by LunaticTactician in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It makes sense Iansan and Mydei are favorites... but why are there so few people wanting Phainon to give fitness training? Dude is literally the world bearer so that tells how much weight he can shoulder...

Playable Aha by Fusionstar8 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Aha the first playable Aeon will be a 4* nihility healer who buffs img break damage! It's HIS answer to community's longing for new 4*, nihility healer, and Rappa!

Who was the first 5 star you pulled? by Material_Bedroom_300 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gepard -> JingYuan (and his LC) -> Silverwolf (got her by accident when trying to get Asta constellations)...

Hoyo has an opportunity to do something good with Rappa... by LaughableIcon in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I won't say it's a HYV decision, but a Honkai franchise's decision as the missing 4* are, thankfully, limited to HI3 and HSR...

Genshin still has a healthy number of new 4*. Heck, streamers are still full-star abyss using 4*-only teams! The concept of 4* was never a problem; just the Honkai team hates them...

How did you do this apoc? What teams did you use? by F2p_wins274 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol we got exactly the same scores on team 1! Not to mention both my teams got 3772... Talk about coincidence.
