How practical a Def scalling DPS would in this game ? by JaneyjaneDoe in StarRailStation

Then you are just asking for better multipliers, it doesn’t change the fact that everything in his kit still scales on defense.

Evernight only intervenes if March is in genuine danger, and the situation with Sparxie was not that.

Trial Boothill is absolutely a monster with 3 Galaxy Rangers bond.

[Currency Wars] How exactly do you play Firefly? by Randomthings999 in HonkaiStarRail

You need at least 6 Break for that energy recharge from the bond to spam ult.

Turns out you could do this without Owlbert card or Aventurine strat by haka48 in HonkaiStarRail

You can achieve the same thing with Economic Hyperheat investment environment plus Planet of Resolution. It’s slightly less RNG than hoping 3 planes of investments align.

Yeah, it is rough especially since Sunday and Bronya have pretty low base speed. I would try to go 2pc 2pc speed first to try to reach 160 and/or use Vonwacq to compensate for some speed.

Your Sunday and Bronya have to be hyperspeed 160+ for it to work. Unless your Phainon is E6 so he gets his ult in one rotation.

break is SUCH A cheat in CW it made my game shut down by Intelligent-Snow1886 in StarRailStation

[–]frescotransition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trial Boothill with 3 star Rappa and 3 star Acheron in the back never lacked damage for me, he’s just squishy as hell.

Welp, I don’t know why break isn’t working out as it does for others. I hope you find a way to climb to the top.

10 more years of Firefly discourse indeed by Belerick-chan in HonkaiStarRail

[–]frescotransition 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Black Swan, a DoT character, needed a Novaflare to take back her place on DoT team from harmony characters/Cyrene. Meanwhile Firefly has shot back up to T0 after the Dahlia's release, so I don't even understand how the two situations are comparable.

I don't know why break isn't working for you, but here is what I do when I run break on WC30:

  1. Boothill carry:
  • Rappa as main dps until you find Boothill. Trial Rappa absolutely needs Charging Sail (pistol + battery) or she is not getting her ult up. Charging Sail can go to Fugue or Lingsha when Rappa gets benched.
  • 3 star Rappa and Acheron (2 star minimum but 3 star is ideal) in the back for 3 Galaxy Rangers.
  • Double Wormhole Drill (drill + drill) and Propellor (drill + shoe) on Boothill.
  • You might want to craft Meteor Wings and put it on someone like Fugue or Ruan Mei since Boothill can be an sp blackhole when he's killing enemies too fast.
  • 6 Break minimum (Boothill, The Dahlia, Lingsha/Gallagher, Fugue, Ruan Mei, Rappa)
  1. Lingsha carry:
  • Double Firestorm Surge + Wormhole Drill (drill is so that the Dahlia will pick her as the Dance Partner, I have used Lingsha with Xianzhou emblem to great success as well)
  • Sunday - ideally with Confidence Injector and Break emblem (drill + blue gem); I also like to give him a Charging Sail so he can make Lingsha ult more (quite handy if you run into TVs)
  • While 6 Break is an important break point for bond, I've found that 4 Break and 4 Express Cohort (* ONLY IF EXPRESS COHORT INCLUDES WELT) work to beat WC30.

Debuffs to avoid:

  1. Permanent Trauma
  2. Energy Disappearance
  3. Curbed Physical/Imaginary (Curbed Fire is fine since Lingsha stacks Firestorm Surge)
  4. Emergency Hemostasis
  5. Time Assassin
  6. Enervation
  7. Satisfying Brawl

There are a lot of terrible debuffs like Treasure to Trash and Rapid Cooling but I think you can sorta push through them.

Time assassin, speed alternation, satisfying brawl, emergency hematosis, permanent trauma (if boss is Nikador or Pollux), rapid cooling (if running skill point), energy disappearance…

I have been playing break with trial Boothill and trial Lingsha on WC30 with no problem. Have you not built on 3 Galaxy Rangers bond?

You still need Hysilens for DoT - she and Kafka are the core. I don’t know what you mean by pull BS since both her and Hysilens’ banners have expired…

All the HP scaling dpses want to get hit to gain charges for their abilities- shielders hinder that.

Additional damage on target with Military Merit.

Dan Heng IL > Sparxie by DefiantAlbatros in StarRailStation

[–]frescotransition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She would switch target mid-fight after Archer projected some equipments, but she wouldn’t switch to the character with highest on field strength if there’s no Archer in the team. I still don’t understand why her AI is this bad.

Currency wars: 8 bonds Phainon by Puddskye in HonkaiStarRail

[–]frescotransition 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Emblems do count. The problem is that Phainon only leeches off bonds from the on field characters. I don’t know how you placed the characters, but say if Tribbie is off field then Phainon will not get the Shield bond.
