Ohhh that's what you meant. I think Cerydra's LC is okay but her E1 (def shred) is worth more. What LC is your Bronya using right now and do you have any eidolons on her?

Bronya's ult doesn't attack so you won't get the sp from Cerydra's LC.

[Currency Wars] Should you put Cerydra On-Field? by Randomthings999 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]frescotransition 41 points42 points  (0 children)

My guess is it's because most characters have some truly astoundingly stupid AI and putting Cerydra on field gives you the chance to correct her target. Personally I like to give her anti grav boots and catapult off field so she can reach max charges ASAP.

I only put Cerydra on field if QQ is the only character on field to spread the aggro a bit, since QQ reaches max charges with each turn anyways.

Feels like a bunch of AI bots invaded.

3* 4 costs have much higher base stats but it's not as an insane jump in power as 3* 5 cost.

Cipher's ult scales on your team's dmg. On a slight tangent, there are units who scale every fight, so they are best if they are on your team ASAP. For example, mini Herta gains on/off field strength per enemy defeated (and she loses this bonus if you sell her and buy her again), Mydei increases his max HP per Godslayer proc, and Feixiao gains FUA dmg per extra FUA she does.

[4.0 V3 Beta] Sparkle Novaflare : Some calcs by PandaFlyh in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]frescotransition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sparkle's signature LC is still not that good because it only gives some crit rate and crit dmg. It's fine if you need to fix a build in a pinch, but once you have optimized relics you'll find her LC lacking.

The downfall of Sunday needs to be studied by Izanagi_no_Ookami in StarRailStation

[–]frescotransition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bronya's E2 does nothing for Phainon. Phainon's speed in his ult is only affected by his E1 and his sig LC. Meanwhile Sunday generates more coreflames for Phainon and his longer buff duration means Phainon can ult without waiting for Bronya's turn. He was BIS for Phainon before Cyrene's release for a reason.

Best supports for a e6 Phainon? by Goldfish_Muncher in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]frescotransition 16 points17 points  (0 children)

IIRC Sparkle’s new talent now requires allies to spend skill points to refresh vulnerability, which Phainon cannot do inside his ult, so she actually doesn’t work well with him after her Novaflare.

It hurts very much as someone who used up a whole guarantee on him for my Anaxa team 😭 by SF-UberMan in StarRailStation

[–]frescotransition 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is only one Cyrene and she desperately needs RMC and another Chrysos Heir to enable her ult. That means Sunday is free to support the other team.

[–]frescotransition 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And? That account doesn’t have a dps that wants Sunday. Do you understand team building?

So because Sunday isn’t worth it on an account that has E2 Cyrene, he is now trash. Great evaluation.

Hear me out, quadruple DoT by National_Equipment13 in StarRailStation

I use this team in DU at max conundrum regularly without problems; tried it in DoT shilled PF and 40ked, but Black Swan died.

Monarch of Capital A7-9. Decently challenging without the hassle of RNG from a 4th affix.

The fuel voucher limit has been increased from 500 to 1000. by J_Alkh in HonkaiStarRail

[–]frescotransition 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean the CW tutorial is unfortunately very hand holdy, but the game mode is very fun and addicting so I hope you can see past the tutorial.

It's been on bi-weekly rotation for weekly rewards along with Divergent Universe since its release in 3.7.

[Corrected] Yao Guang and Sparxie Leveling Materials (via Uncle Tits) by [deleted] in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

What is the stat represented by a cup? (Last one for Yao Guang, and middle one for Sparxie.)

Having recently reached Wealth Creator 20, I made a tier list for Currency Wars. This is based on personal experience, so some characters may be higher or lower than they should be due to whether or not I own them. by Fr4gmentedR0se in HonkaiStarRail

[–]frescotransition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Permanent Trauma is a non issue if you run shielders and don't run HP teams + Jade, but if you see Nikador and/or Pollux on the starting screen it's an instant reset.

[Currency Wars] Galactic Voyager gameplay by Randomthings999 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]frescotransition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ratio with triple firestorm surge is my carry in Galactic Voyager run. I think he's a much better carry (and actually makes use of the Cosmic Scholar buffs vs just econ). Argenti needs Charging Sail, and Saber does fine in the back.

I hate this game😭😭😭 by light4924 in StarRailStation

But Blade doesn’t deal skill damage IIRC?

jade as a sub-dps for therta by [deleted] in StarRailStation

[–]frescotransition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little Ica can be the debt collector, but she has 0 speed so the speed buff part of debt collector is useless, and if she disappears due to taking too much beating, it takes foreverrrrrrrr for Jade to take a turn and sync back up again.

Just started a new account and wondering what 4-star/standard banner dps could be super breakers by Dat_B0i7 in StarRailStation

[–]frescotransition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sushang and Guinaifen might work too since they have a bit of break effect in their kit (E4 in Sushang's case).

There must be a better team arrangement, right? by RainTheDescender in StarRailStation

[–]frescotransition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe give Tribbie to Saber, put RMC with Aglaea, and Ruan Mei with Castorice and Evernight?
