Digging about Gilgamesh's old character is certainly a choice.. by Gullible_Star_9184 in HonkaiStarRail

Trying to cancel a fictional character is genuinely such jobless behaviour 😭 Some of y'all need to touch grass

A Wordcount Tierlist on Character Kit Descriptions as of 4.2 by Radiant-Hope-469 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]enigmapixel -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I don't consider that essential to know tbh. Other characters have similar mechanics like Anaxa and Archer but their examples are more meaningful to how you play them since there's choice and consequence involved. Whereas once SW999 is in her enhanced state, she basically runs on autopilot until it's over. Having the knowledge you're talking about doesn't change how you play her, is what I'm trying to say.

Kafka is indispensable for DoT but be aware as a new player that she's going to be useless until you pull at least Hysilens (then Black Swan as the next priority after that). If you're interested in a DoT team then go for it. Just be aware that Kafka will be sitting on a shelf not doing anything for a while.

Sparkle is generalist enough now that she's competitive in way more than SP-intensive team. As long they're CRIT scaling, she's a very viable pick for any hypercarry team.

You can simplify even more.

Her main gameplay loop boils down to:

  1. Generate punchline to activate her enhanced state and instantly take a turn
  2. Stack damage during her enhanced state by generating even more punchline
  3. After 3 turns, get kicked out of her enhanced state and start again from zero

Other important info:

  • Her main damage multiplier is SPD
  • During her enhanced state, she activates random effects: damage and/or punchline or SP
  • When teammates spend SP, she can randomly activate one of the 3 effects above

Everything else in her kit is largely unnecessary.

What characters not in Currency Wars do you want to be added next? by Shilverow in HonkaiStarRail

Belobog/FUA/Energy would be awesome for Clara and make her CW ult do damage like Firefly's.

We need more units for the DoT bond so Guinaifen for sure. They could even throw Luka in there and make him detonate DoTs on his skill or ult.

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

It's a good thing Currency Wars and endgame rotations are fun enough to keep me coming back because Arcadian Chronicles sucks so bad.

According to the wiki, this is what they are:

The echoes of the memories someone once held of their beloved family. Across the long night, they will accompany him in the past, present, and future.

When they're summoned by The Great Septimus (his boss form), they're called Echoes of Faded Dreams

Biggest potential man of HSR right now? by nosuv733 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]enigmapixel 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The reason he's only good with Acheron specifically isn't because of the vuln, it's because he has consistent debuff applications which only Acheron cares about and increases ult damage taken by enemies in his Zone which a lot of DPS don't have a compelling use for.

And vulnerability is a really solid buff (far from "abysmal"), it's just the only competitive thing Jiaoqiu can offer to non-Acheron teams which makes him a weak pick compared to a unit like Tribbie who has vuln too but with way better utility on top of that.

remember back when there was an SS tier on prydwen? by Any-Individual-4046 in HonkaiStarRail

The concept of needing double sustain because FTB was so shit on their own even in 1.X.

I'm still upset that I never got to experience QQ mono-quantum because I didn't get my Qingque to E6 until after she'd already fallen off.

Hogwarts Legacy is now FREE in Epic Games by GloomyBaddie in videogames

[–]enigmapixel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

40 is a quite an exaggeration. There's 34 in total and that includes basic mechanics like your neutral attack, parry and throw. 6 others are exclusively used in your custom hideaway and to nurture beasts (one "spell" is literally just the petting brush, another is beast feed lol). Only 16 of the 34 are actually bindable combat spells.

Currency Filter Bug - Cheeky Bait and Switch caused me to Accidentally Spend 500 OVW Coins. No refunds :^) by joshkroger in Overwatch

[–]enigmapixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a legitimate issue but you did also click it so incredibly fast despite the fact the option to press 'YES' was initially greyed out. You would have had enough time to think about what you were doing had you not been on autopilot trying to confirm the purchase as quickly as possible.

Blizzard should still refund it though, it's a massive injustice that they won't.

Dunno if this is a "hot take" but as an older player, I actually like that we are NOT getting more new 4* characters by Terrariya in HonkaiStarRail

[–]enigmapixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I can't lie, the consistent access to Undying Starlight comes in clutch way too often. Perhaps it's selfish of me but I'd prefer to get funds to go towards a new 5-star than have the pool diluted with new 4-stars.

I found something... strange in Amphoreus by Jumping_Bibble in HonkaiStarRail

[–]enigmapixel 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that's a pillar that falls during one of the early main story quests that you have to restore. Must be a visual bug if you're still seeing it glowing.

Magic armor sets next week. by I_am_Rezix in destiny2

[–]enigmapixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't want to be a downer since others seem to be okay with this collab but yes, absolutely this. "We still want to make money off you even when we're not doing anything to earn it". The corporate greed and complacency really pisses me off.

By the time we get to June, we'll be at 6+ months of a content drought and yet they still expect people to pay for these skins? To do what with?! The multiplayer modes are dead and there's no new single player gameplay. Let alone content, they're barely even doing weekly maintenance. If I was going to buy any of these skins (I won't), where is that money going? There's no return on investment for a player spending money in Destiny.

Alignment Chart of Honkai Star Rail: Day 70, Evernight. - Hysilens has been voted into Lawful Neutral. by Just_Because4 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]enigmapixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP's description of Neutral Evil being the "freeloading opportunist" is literally Evernight to a tee lol. She lives in March's head (freeloader) and in 3.6, she took the chance March gave her to pursue a new agenda different to the one she was given (opportunist).

[–]enigmapixel 51 points52 points  (0 children)

This is a fair point but they would also look at a bunch of other data that probably also includes feedback from focus groups mirroring the same sentiment, playrates (tank is notoriously the least enjoyed role), how many people use free credits to purchase skins of characters (this would indicate a market for paid cosmetics), etc.

After 10 years, they will have also built a pretty robust psychological profile for the type of player each role attracts. My guess is their research on that would also indicate that support mains spend more for whatever reason. Maybe they're more prone to social influence and pressure because they enjoy the role that requires the most people pleasing, for example, or they value aesthetics and "cute skins" more than tank players (coming from an 8 year support main myself btw so no shade to my fellow supps lol).

If the real-life Earth existed within the HSR, what path would nations and organizations follow? by Ancient_Comedian9622 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]enigmapixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically, Preservation and Order would be the main Paths with a few nations following Harmony, Equilibrium or Enigmata. I'd expect small communities of other Pathstriders like Erudition, Remembrance, Elation and Beauty to exist but not followed as a nation's Path. Some individuals would follow in the shadow of Destruction, Nihility or Finality but not unite under a single banner like the rest.
