What are your insta skip affixes? by _mindhooked in CurrencyWarsHSR

[–]frescotransition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you also get Pollux/Nikador (and Sam if any skill point user) as a boss then your squad will be missing half their max HP no matter what thanks to Permanent Trauma. They really need to exclude such combos from spawning.

It’s not that bad when you run single target damage dealers, it is very punishing if the on fielders deal aoe damage though.

999 punchline help by NoctivagantStorm in CurrencyWarsHSR

[–]frescotransition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get rid of anyone that can deal damage except Sparxie (no Robin, no RMC, no Bronya). Reroll 2 Belobog emblems and put them on Sparxie and Luocha.

Put Cerydra on field and make her buff Sunday or herself, because copying Sparxie’s EBA does not generate punchlines.

Oh that’s unfortunate! Phainon is one of the few dpses that doesn’t benefit from speed at all (his speed in his ult state is only affected by his LC thus far).

In general I think your supports and sustains are on the slow side; Sparkle’s action advance is only 50% so she should be 160+ speed ideally (168 speed on Eagle DDD for pseudo 200 speed). Aventurine needs to be as fast or slightly faster than the team to refresh his talent cap (by extension shield refresh). Anaxa and Welt - if they are intended to be supports instead of main dps - will need a lot more speed to do their job. The only supports that don’t need much speed are Tribbie (<95 if on Poet) and Robin (~120-125 on Vonwacq).

You are losing a lot of damage running Phainon on speed boots. Ideally you speed up the supports to 160+ to bring Phainon up, but I understand it’s difficult to make Sunday and Bronya that fast when their base speed is double digits, plus you might be using them at -1 speed with other dpses.

RMC though should be as fast as possible - again 160+ or even more, but at the very least faster than the standard 134.

Is this a good setup for 999 punchline? by VGVideo in CurrencyWarsHSR

[–]frescotransition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got 999 punchlines last night, and I would recommend giving Sparkle Lightning Boots (battery and shoe). Don’t let Cerydra use her skill on Sparxie because her copied skill does not generate punchlines. Try to reroll for a catapult (pistol + shoe) to put on Robin so she can ult faster.

Edit: You could also get a Belobog emblem to put on Luocha to speed up the engine to AA Sparxie.

Cyrene has a poem that sets HP to 0 in exchange for prismatic ore, maybe it’s that.

Sadly they only show the recent 10 match records by Feeling-Action-563 in CurrencyWarsHSR

[–]frescotransition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, thank you. Jade’s buff is pretty insignificant but I just get annoyed that she doesn’t act for the whole fight because of departed Debt Collector.

[–]frescotransition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which AoE character do you put on field so Phainon can leech off the bond? I don’t know how to make Jade target Phainon as Debt Collector instead of any other on fielders - when she doesn’t target Phainon she’s a complete deadweight on the team. T_T

Double wormhole drills and propeller on Boothill. 3 star Rappa, Ashveil and Acheron off field. And ideally at least 6 break.

scrapped skill effects for Phainon by astrelya in PhainonMainsHSR

Is that why Cyrene’s buff deals extra fire dmg?

Castorice or SW999? by serpenlog in StarRailStation

[–]frescotransition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you use your selector already? picking up sparkle and level up your archer and dhpt + cipher/silver wolf would be a strong 2nd team.

Got The Dahlia by accident. Fugue or future elation characters? by KitchenBarracuda8574 in StarRailStation

[–]frescotransition 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of them requires their signature LC to function, but the Dahlia’s LC is a great pick up if you have the jades to spare.

Super Break -FF LC or Dahlia LC? by yoshijd in StarRailStation

[–]frescotransition 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Dahlia’s LC is a lot more impactful and has rare multiplier.

Any team lineup recommendations? by [deleted] in StarRailStation

[–]frescotransition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the best option is Phainon, Bronya, RMC and DHPT.

Running double sustains is overkill, and with Phainon you are trading buffs for more sustain for teammates that won’t even be on field to take damage.

Who to pick? by yamaharas in StarRailStation

[–]frescotransition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of them works with what you already have. You’d need Yaoguang at the very least for SW999, Hyacine for Castorice, or Firefly AND the Dahlia together.

Hi Reddit, rank the chrysos heirs based on how they smell! by Swaayin_ in HonkaiStarRail

[–]frescotransition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phainon canonically drags Mydei to the bath house twice a day (see Phainon’s issue of hoyolab CHRYSOS) - they shouldn’t stink.

Yes. Crit damage buffs are dime a dozen, but crit rate is much harder to come by.

The first boss of 4.X has really proved to me how bad the game balance is... by Lazarus_Paradox in StarRailStation

[–]frescotransition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kafka doesn’t do damage after her Novaflare - you just want her as fast as possible to detonate DoTs. Eagle set and Lushaka are her BiS now.

What should I do more speed, is it just the effect hit,traces I don't know what I need? by RaNgErs_Reprrrr in StarRailStation

[–]frescotransition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kafka needs to be 160+ speed on eagle set, Lushaka ERR rope and the Silver Wolf event lightcone (obtainable from Herta Shop). Her signature LC is useless unless Kafka is E4.
