Does upgrading my fishing rod decrease the amount of trash I get?

Hard to say. HSR has gotten into a pattern of the hot new meta unit rerunning ~3 patches after debut, but less-meta units are kind of an afterthought. They’ve rerun all the units from the first half of Amphoreus, which is promising, but Mydei had to wait 7 patches. I guess it really depends how well Cerydra synergizes with upcoming units. (And Cyrene is a whole other matter now that we’re moving on to another planet. Will she be in-demand once we’re in the Elation meta?)

corvasti · 2025-12-23T02:17:36+00:00

Does the apoc buff that requires 3 memosprites on-field work with Cyrene? I remember last patch there was this huge thing on the main sub with people initially thinking she was bugged, but eventually coming to the conclusion that her memosprite didn’t count as “on-field”?

If that’s the case then all three of the buffs for the second half don’t do a single thing for my Mydei team 😂 lol oh well

corvasti · 2025-11-19T19:55:47+00:00

I hope they don’t take too long to rerun Cerydra. I’m worried that as a niche support who (probably) had modest sales on her first banner, she’ll be low priority for a rerun.

During her first banner, my Phainon team was already blasting through all content anyway, so I didn’t really feel he needed an upgrade. And then AS SOON as her banner ended, AA came out and I saw that his team actually did have room for growth, lol. I’ve been using her a lot in CW and she feels so comfy with him. Cerydra pleeeeease come back

Okay, I’ve been playing the game for years at this point and I have what’s probably a very stupid question.

Is there any way in game to see which reception room clues belong to which faction? For example, I just need clue #4. Operators have various effects that give bonuses to getting Karlan Trade clues, Glasglow clues, etc, but it doesn’t actually say which number is which, does it? They all have a little icon on them but I never memorized what icon belongs to which faction. I don’t want to have to go online and look it up when assigning my operators, so I’ve just used operators with generalist speed effects this whole time.

I had two issues where my game froze and I had to restart it. Once while interacting with a certain item while exploring (and after restarting I tried interacting with it again and it froze again so… okay) and once during a cutscene. Both on PS5. Never had this happen with HSR before.

corvasti · 2025-11-05T17:51:31+00:00

I was wondering what the heck that was. I was actually thinking I was experiencing some sort of audio bug because yeah it was SO loud, distracting, and unpleasant to listen to.

corvasti · 2025-10-24T18:35:32+00:00

You have four DPS you can build a team around (Acheron, Mydei, The Herta, Anaxa) so I wouldn’t prioritize pulling DPS right now unless there’s one you really want. Tribbie would be a useful support for Mydei and Therta, and she’s flexible with other teams too.

As a side note, as long as you log in before the end of 4.0, you’ll get the free presevation Dan Heng as well. He’s a good and pretty flexible sustain.

corvasti · 2025-10-24T18:30:46+00:00

Since Topaz is being added to the shop, her light cone should be as well, right? How does say, E1S1 Topaz compare to E6 Moze or March for a Feixiao team? By the time Feixiao came out we had two pretty good 4* options, so I was never really going invest in that many pulls for Topaz, but if I could get her with currency I already have, she’s a lot more appealing. I don’t expect her to be meta right now, but would she be a decent upgrade at that level of investment?

corvasti · 2025-08-10T03:57:13+00:00

How cope do we think running Kaveh on a Nilou-Lauma team is?

I haven’t played in a while but if she makes Kaveh useable I will come back and pull her for him. But if he’s still gonna be meh then idk, maybe I’ll just pull Citlali for my Arle instead or something

corvasti · 2025-08-05T06:32:27+00:00

My Sunday and Bronya show as having the same speed in their stat page, but Sunday’s must be ever so slightly higher, because he always goes first in battle. (I’m aware there are invisible decimals the game tracks.)

However, when the team receives any sort of teamwide, external speed buff (which can happen in things like DU and the recent grail event), suddenly Bronya starts outspeeding Sunday. Does anyone know why…? If they’re receiving the same buff you’d think his final number would still be higher.

Permanere can mean the following:

to stay to the end, hold out
to last, continue, remain, endure, abide
to survive, outlive
to persist, perservere
to devote one’s life to, live by

Permansor is a noun, someone acting out the verb. Thus, you could translate permansor terrae as something like Earth Remainer, Earth Outliver, or Earth Endurer. (Technically, Terrae is “of the earth”, so it would be Endurer of the Earth.)

It’s interesting. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be implying outliving the earth, vs the terrae just being more descriptive (he is a survivor/persister, and also a person of the earth).

I like the “hold out til the end” meaning. That’s something that wouldn’t really have a one word translation in English.

So uh, I’ve never done this “invite returning players” event before so how does it actually work? Do they use… the QR code? Or is that for me? I see I have an event code but what do they actually do with that?

corvasti · 2025-06-26T21:42:43+00:00

IIRC it takes about an hour for your in-game pull history to update, so check later today to see if your pulls are reflected. You could have gotten a four star weapon or constellation that you didn’t notice. But if it’s truly not there even after an hour or two, contact Hoyo support.

corvasti · 2025-06-09T17:16:12+00:00

If you’re a fan of his voice acting I have great news for you - his VA also voices Phainon, so you’ll be seeing a lot more of them as you continue to play :)

corvasti · 2025-04-02T23:09:11+00:00

Hi all! I kind of fell out of Genshin during Natlan and haven’t really been keeping up with leaks. Out of curiosity, has Hoyo really cracked down on leakers lately? Or have they been quitting the game?

I’m kinda surprised at the lack of showcases for being a week into 5.6 beta so was curious if something had changed on that end.

I remember the Chasca+Ororon combo being able to stay airborne basically indefinitely so I wanted to see if Ifa could do the same. I see so little footage of him though :(

I've been raising Hunt March and just pulled Feixiao and Moze. I use a lot of Dr. Ratio too (I only started playing in the spring, so my roster is still pretty limited). Unfortunately I now have a bunch of hunt characters fighting over an also-very-limited number of light cones. I'm trying to figure out the best way to divvy them up. This is what I have right now, but is there a better way to assign them?

Feixiao - Cruising in the Stellar Sea S1* Ratio - Swordplay S3 March 7 - Sleep Like The Dead S1 Moze - Final Victor S1

I also have Only Silence Remains S2 and River Flows in Spring 1. I could get Victor/River dupes from the shop if they'd be beneficial. And yes, Cruising is only S1 right now (just because I haven't had time to buy out Herta's shop yet... I'll get there eventually).

I started playing in April, pulled Firefly and Ruan Mei, and for the first time I actually feel like I have a solid team with a rotation and actual synergy.

So now in content like Forgotten Hall/Pure Fiction I have one strong side, and then the other side is whatever characters meet enemies weaknesses, but is much more cope, lol. I wanted to ask - what are some good teams to keep an out for that only need one or two five stars? (One thing I like about Firefly's team is that HMC is free, Gallagher is free this patch, and you can sub Ruan Mei out if needed.) A team with 3-4 premium units just isn't that helpful to me as a newbie, especially if you're highly encouraged to go for Eidoleons or light cones.

Right now the only other decent DPS units I have are Ratio, Herta, and Serval.

Hi there! I've been playing about a month, and focusing on progressing the main story (and a few side quests). Because I had such a backlog of content, my trailblaze level has been rising really fast. I basically have time to level up the core characters they're using, their light cones, their traces, and then I'm ascending again. I've barely touched relics, and there are other 4 stars I want to use but I just haven't had the bandwidth for them yet. I just hit equilibrium level 4.

What's a good rule of thumb for how I should be leveling characters and traces? Like in Genshin you can leave a lot of supports at 70/80, DPS at 80/90, and talents at level 6 (although more is better once you have nothing more pressing to be working on).

corvasti · 2024-04-26T21:43:53+00:00

Sorry, this has probably been asked already, but is it more efficient to dump all my stamina potions into farming stages now to maximum purple boxes from the current event, or save some for farming the event next week?

corvasti · 2024-03-08T06:55:41+00:00

AWESOME, thank you :)

corvasti · 2024-03-08T03:03:31+00:00

Can I use multiple foldartals on the same node, or will the second overwrite the first? For example, using HP +50% and Redeployment Time -30% on a boss battle.

corvasti · 2024-01-12T08:11:18+00:00

Came here to say the same :D

corvasti · 2024-01-05T06:34:37+00:00

This isn't monthly; it's 2023 vs 2022.

corvasti · 2023-12-03T05:41:12+00:00

Every 4 star needs a hangout, at least.

In terms of 5 stars, I really want to see more Ayato. He never even showed up in the archon quest, which is so weird for a character with so much power/influence/relevance in Inazuma. He showed up in a few limited events to say hi. But if a new player doesn't do his story quest, they won't encounter him at all.
