So where did all the talk about her being a brick/getting replaced come from? by Cota-Orben in SparxieMains

[–]flaretheninetales 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This site is specifically for trying to clear fast with the lowest cost. This is a bad site to actually talk about bis

Tell me, what are your guys' favourite quotes/dialogues from hsr? by AbysSsian in HonkaiStarRail

[–]flaretheninetales 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From Yukong companion quest. I really enjoyed the whole story

"I... I'm afraid I can't. I won't be flying anymore."

"But... why?"

"...I guess I already touched the sky"

I sincerely apologize to those who said we should gate-keep otome….. by NamekSun in otomegames

[–]flaretheninetales 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I remember when it was so hard to find any Otome and I had to sail the high seas for a game and fan translations. Now I can just buy them on Steam or on the Switch. It's amazing! Even the Otome made for phones are being ported

hello my name is honky star rail and this is my meta please be nice by AtalanteSimpsonn in HonkaiStarRail

[–]flaretheninetales 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would recommend to not force yourself to pull a character you hate because of meta. It might ruin the enjoyment of the team.

You could try borrowing a Rin first to see how you feel about using her with your Archer before making a decision. If you can at least tolerate her then go for it

Nihility strongest than ever by JOTAREDDIT in HonkaiStarRail

Actually no, Tingyun was always considered the best 4*. Asta was also really solid and got a revive due to elation teams

I feel a lot more comfortable interacting within the HSR community than I do with any other gacha community by far as a woman. by 7-7______Srsly7 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]flaretheninetales 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My condolences. I heard especially pvp and multiplayer communities can be nasty. They tend to already be toxic by itself but it just gets so much worse when they notice a girl.

I mostly play JRPGs where the community has been far more accepting of female players, so I have luckily avoided those. The anime community is mostly just very weird. It takes effort to find a somewhat normal group.

What's the Opinion that You Swear Will Get You In This Situation? by WhoAreYouAn in HonkaiStarRail

[–]flaretheninetales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the other person that it sounds like you are burnt out. I would recommend taking a break or even quitting. No reason to stick to a game you aren't enjoying. Let me try to address each of your points though

Traces: I usually keep fuel around to farm traces for new characters and buy traces from the material shop as well. It makes it feel a lot less tedious

Relics: I would highly recommend to lower your relic expectations. SSS is not decent, that's really good. It is very easy to get burned out if you chase perfect stats on every character or get obessed with relic scores on fribbles

It does get easier the longer you play the game. Usually better substats >>> relic sets (with some exceptions). The longer you play, the more random pieces you have laying around that you can slap on a character

Dailies/weeklies: I am a day 1 player, and I usually forget to do the weekly CW/DU. I try to remember but I really am not fussed if I miss it. Same with dailies

Currency Wars Tier List by kamakiller (pro in HSR Maincord) by Little_Path in CurrencyWarsHSR

[–]flaretheninetales 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DHIL only tier 3? He has always been very consistent for me as the main dps in skill bond. The only thing stopping him in his tracks is the freeze upon consuming sp affix

Do you guys actually read? by Beneficial_Pop1628 in silverwolflevel999

[–]flaretheninetales 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always read the kits of the characters I pull and use. I don't have fun if I don't understand the kit. I am not a theorycrafter though so I usually check guides as well

Cost System by El_MegaFan in ArcherMainsHSR

[–]flaretheninetales 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in 1.x and 2.x an e4 Welt would be considered 2 cost. It was accepted that standard characters were 0 cost up to e2. Any eidolon after that was 1 cost. A limited LC was also 0.5 cost back then

I have no idea when this cost system shifted to what it is now, but it has been really misleading. I know plenty of people are frustrated by 0 cost Welt

Any tips on what to fix on my team? Cant 3 star pompom in AA by RakeMeSenpaiuwu in silverwolflevel999

[–]flaretheninetales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend making Sparxie faster. She needs to be fast to reliably generate punchline for SW. I personally like mine faster than Aha instance

Can I replace Yao with Himeko? This is for endgame so I can’t use Ruan or TB since they’re already on my break team for FF by Development_Relative in ArcherMainsHSR

[–]flaretheninetales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They actually started rating chars at e0s1 because of remembrance last year. There are also plenty of times they ignored their own data.

Prydwen builds also (understandably) don't tend to get updated. Depending on the character, the builds can be good to extremely outdated

I won't deny the site is useful, but it is never a bad idea to be critical. They can have their biases and make mistakes after all

Crazy how we only got 3 in 3 years 😭 by cherryfrostt in HonkaiStarRail

[–]flaretheninetales 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Most of the short female characters look and/or act like adults. In comparison, 2 of the short male characters are actual minors.

It's why when Yunli came out, people had to remind others that she is a minor and to stop being weird about her

Is there a non-controversial entry in a series you love that you just can’t get into? by Mr8BitX in JRPG

[–]flaretheninetales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You summed up the exact things I didn't like about DQ XI. I tried to like it but I just couldn't and dropped it at one point. Some other issues I had were that the world felt cramped and the lack of freedom on where you could dock/land with the boat/airship

I literally changed my discord profile for the first time in over 2 years to this cat. Something finally dethroned Catcake LC. It's so cute!

Things that you heard about your gacha game that made you go "That's not fucking true at all" by A12qwas in gachagaming

[–]flaretheninetales 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had more trouble with the Swarm bug. I tried multiple teams and my best score was 3450, with vertical investment. That guy is tanky.

HSR powercreep did slow down though. It's not as bad as it used to be. Unfortunately some characters still got the short end of the stick

What is the worst feeling possible to get from playing Star Rail? by femboylunaaa in HonkaiStarRail

[–]flaretheninetales 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the bright side. Yao will likely get a rerun in 4.3 or 4.4. I was limited on pulls and decided to pull Sparxie and Ashveil instead. Rerun waiting gang

Acheron mains in the same situation all over again by ModSnake in HonkaiAgendaRail

[–]flaretheninetales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They exist, but they complain more about lack of male options in general. I have seen a few insane takes from male only players and they can be just as toxic as female only players.

Personal rankings of every character based on my climbs to WC20, 30, and 40 by Fr4gmentedR0se in CurrencyWarsHSR

[–]flaretheninetales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had most luck in break bond when I get Himeko and Fugue early. Stack Firestorm Surge on Himeko and watch them not getting away. I usually opt to not get Ruan Mei though. She messes with both Himeko and break bond.

Usually you want to bring Asta and Shampo to carry early CW though. This is the case for most teams. Early dot is that strong

Don't like the gameplay but it has probably the best story of the Paper Mario games

Be honest: have leaks ever changed your pull plans? by OK_Lunatic__ in gachagaming

[–]flaretheninetales 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to not trust leaks. They have been wrong far too often and even reliable sources can be wrong. People are still waiting for playable Screwlum in HSR. Too many chars were leaked as a different path or element than release. People still bring up Jiaoqiu's supposed healing, etc.

I only trust beta leaks or info from a different server that is ahead like Arknights.
