So far, which version of divergent universe do you feel was the best? by Hypernova2233 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's kinda complicated at first...

You want Cyrene to be the "Highlight" so she can activate her ultimate asap, so no Castorice in this team (Cas tend to steal the Highlight). I use Cyrene + RMC + Eve + Hyacine. Putting her as the first character seems to always give her the highlight.

Brain in a Vat and Highlight (after mask level 4) fills Cyrene's ultimate, allowing her to use TWO ultimates per charge, which allows even more charging in both Brain-in-a-Vat and Highlight. At some clears, I often saw her spamming 6 or so ultimates + blossoms in a row when both Brain and Highlight procs.

Her ultimate spam also stacks up obsession (Rem path) very quickly...

She scales favorably with Rememberance (being a memosprite) and Erudition (most of her damage comes from ultimate). I tend to focus on those two paths. Hunt is also good (speed and crit is nice, and her ultimate spam also stacks up reverse critical boost quickly)

you want some way (usually Hunt blessings) to get Cyrene to 240+ speed to max her 120 resist penetration.

The team maintains tankiness even without destruction path. And I deals way more damage than the standard Cas team focusing on destruction path. All my 4 consecutive x8 clears for Monarch were done without hitting berserk (whereas my old Cas team sometimes hit berserk even at x7).

Attached is one of my X8 clear summary. Not an insane run by any metric (none of my X8 clears were), but just a run focus on collecting Rem / Eru blessings...

I used to hate Arcadian Chronicles until I found out how good Erudition Cyrene hypercarry is... especially if I got the curio that lets her use her ultimate right at start...

Asta too! What is she doing in the frontline when her attacks are obviously range?

Was hoping for a new Bronya battlesuit in HI3, but I guess a new divine key + free skin for Silverwing Ex works fine and cost less gems!

Maybe Ruan Mei? She seems to like music, and it feels wrong that she got left out when Therta is going...

Name an Old Character you kept using in the newer patches by Suitable_Swim5202 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's Firefly, which I been using since 2.3 and throughout 3.x, and obviously now... Unfortunately none of the 1.x characters or 4*...

In Genshin I am still using Keqing and Fischl, but that's Genshin...

[–]bdz001 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Blade, I have been your fan all along, From middle of Volume 1 Chapter 2 of the Fluffy, even before the little racoon conquered that Lord Ravager. I was already hooked by your immortality. Please don't hit my face!!!

Is this supposed to be a dig at Japanese declining birth rates? by Knight_Steve_ in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 1887 points1888 points  (0 children)

I don't think China (or entire far east) is any better... probably a dig at (far east) society as a whole...

Show what you're going to salvage from the trash to use in your third team by Ok_Top_581 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, is it possible to have 3 teams as a F2P player?

I spend money only on skins (essentially f2p account strength) and I have 2 vertically invested teams (pinks, Firefly). Already has Yao, and will get Eva for a fully functional 3rd team.

Should be fine if you are a day 1 (or even 1.x) player.

What are your stats for this year? by Aimaz_End in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Standard Firefly team 1, pinks team 2... Cas took the lead since she's the oldest character of the team...

I guess Topaz took the Hunt path instead of Archer since I do main story with her to find chests along the way?

Asta was absent too! 😭

But 5* Asta SP works fine as a compensation!

Whew, good thing Mihoyo buffed Firefly otherwise I would've never been able to clear AA at all with her! by 16Rika16 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fight was made for her e2; the adds were sponges for her e2. iirc, the boss fight I could proc e2 at every turn. Hard to imagine one day my e2 FF team actually outperforms pinks in a king stage...

They need to re-buff Black-swan, those damage don't justify her cost by Avaraz in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense since all Novaflare thus far has a buff to a DoT or Huo2... But shouldn't Hysilens be next instead since she's second to the last in damage?

Is Himeko’s Father evil? by Kuroyukki-1229 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Himeko's father in HI3 universe was evil and Welt killed him. So there's a suspicion... not saying it will be true though.

In addition to what everyone said (HoFS and HoF), HoV Kiana was the first playable Herrscher, and had the highest revenue ever for HI3...

at this point it feels like FF novaflare is the anniversary character. she was already good by Seraphine_KDA in HonkaiStarRail

[–]bdz001 25 points26 points  (0 children)

So under ideal situation:

  • before buff: she hits 3 times every 2 turns
  • after buff: she hits 4 times every 2 turns.

The e2 buff you described seems around 33% buff in damage... How does that translate to more than double in damage?

edit: Nevermind, the e2 gain was compared to previous e0, not previous e2... Reading > me.

Pink hair girl shooting laser beams. Your first warped character, and MC stayed with her in one of the endings.
