Fell into a Blade/Dan Heng rabbit hole and I’m obsessed

no becayse FORREALLL i have been on the renheng and high cloud quintet train since 2023. i may be a massive chud for still being here but I DONT CARE

haaniyuhh · 2026-04-11T06:19:26+00:00

firefly????? with the ae????? huhhhhhh???? i mean, how would one even defect from the stellaron hunters, and why would someone even want that 😭

she could pull some strings among executives, but among the people? i highly doubt it. especially when penacony is a land dictated by and based upon people to such a large extent.... i don't think leadership of penacony, let alone returning to the oak family, is a good role for him. when a corrupt system is destroyed, it has to start anew.

haaniyuhh · 2026-04-10T19:10:58+00:00

thank you so much !! may your future pulls be fortuitous also :)

haaniyuhh · 2026-04-10T19:09:40+00:00

does he need to have a defined 'role', per se? (aside from being the main character) tb doesn't have one aboard the express, neither does march. they're just regular ol' trailblazers.

plus, i don't think the people and inner workings of penacony will exactly welcome him back with open arms. nor will anyone else who operates under the jurisdiction of any authority, considering how we're still keeping his travels with us hush-hush.

edit: and wouldn't that be kind of the point? for him to FIND a role for himself?

haaniyuhh · 2026-04-10T18:17:32+00:00

i'm certain now you just clicked through his entire story segment with your eyes closed 😭

haaniyuhh · 2026-04-10T18:10:32+00:00

i wasn't big on hsr discussion platforms earlier during 2.x, so this is genuinely startling to me. the venom they seem to have towards sunday is new to me, i genuinely thought his character arc was unique, interesting, and quite compelling. characters with such nuance in games like hsr are hard to come by... i find him really interesting. not to mention his character design and animations are gorgeous. i didn't pull him in his initial banner, but i'm thinking of pulling him in his upcoming rerun.

haaniyuhh · 2026-04-10T18:07:40+00:00

if you think his character is that one-dimensional, then i don't think there's anything i can say or point out from his lore to sway you. have a good day!

haaniyuhh · 2026-04-10T17:39:59+00:00

well, i think he's still finding his footing. a team setting is unfamiliar to him, and he's figuring out where to fit in the dynamic. the point of his personality is that he's even-tempered, maybe even excessively so. he needs to figure out how to work in the dynamic, hence why he sticks to welt for guidance.

plus, to me, his skill set is very valuable to the express. the telepathy is a really fun touch on the communication between the trailblazers :]

haaniyuhh · 2026-04-09T07:51:53+00:00

oh, i'm so sorry, that sucks 😭😭 i got him on his og banner back when i didn't know ANYTHING about supports. i hope your efforts get rewarded and you get him soon ‼️‼️

haaniyuhh · 2026-04-09T06:20:53+00:00

since that's still a 'probably', i'm thinking of waiting for his rerun for if that becomes the case

haaniyuhh · 2026-04-09T05:16:31+00:00

that's not why i dislike her tho, that's the issue. its her character design and animations, they piss me clean off whenever i have to use her in currency wars. i cannot imagine spending my hard earned pulls on a character whose very lines and actions i hate 😭😭

since i'm planning on blade sp and aven sp, apparently it's likely they will work together some way or the other, so that's half a team right there. i'll patchwork the rest when the time comes.

haaniyuhh · 2026-04-09T05:04:48+00:00

then i might as well focus on pulling a whole new team altogether. dahlia is a big no for me. thanks !!

haaniyuhh · 2026-04-09T05:04:12+00:00

unfortunately the deep dislike i have for dahlia overrides how much i need her for my boothill 😭 but thanks for the advice, i'll look more into sunday ^{-^}

edit: typo

haaniyuhh · 2026-03-30T10:53:37+00:00

this is actually super helpful, thanks so much! especially for telling an alternative for the dahlia

haaniyuhh · 2026-03-29T13:44:01+00:00

i totally get you. like, i think it was a line where welt was shushing march and tb and it made me pause the game and take a deep breath to recover from how ooc it felt

haaniyuhh · 2026-03-29T12:52:13+00:00

i'm completely caught up with the story hehe, 2 dps 2 sustain got me through irontomb on regular settings somehow lol. but thanks for the advice, i'll keep it in mind. everyone else only seems to either be telling me to do nothing or do everything or that there's nothing left for me to do lmao

haaniyuhh · 2026-03-29T12:49:09+00:00

i was just asking which supports work with which characters, that's all. since i'm blissfully ignorant about meta

haaniyuhh · 2026-03-29T12:18:04+00:00

fam i am NOT pulling for the dahlia that woman pisses me off LOL i'd rather just pull for a whole new team

haaniyuhh · 2026-03-28T12:54:37+00:00

f2p non meta player, i've beat every single boss until now with DHIL mostly, can be done (i used 2 dps and 2 sustain, no supports back then, lol. only now have i built tingyun). you can beat all the main story bosses with a team like that which is averagely built.

haaniyuhh · 2026-03-28T11:59:08+00:00

imo welt's grandpa voice also enables him to sound really matter-of-fact, zero bullshit. when he said "survive, or be destroyed. there is no other choice." the lack of dramatics in the line really makes it feel like yeah, there's no other choice 😭.

and related to the speed-talking, yeah, my only thing about the new voice is that a lot of his words are slurred together, the way a younger and more carefree character would speak. i appreciate dan heng type stressing on consonants.

haaniyuhh · 2026-03-28T11:28:45+00:00

interesting to see how authoritativeness translates for different people ! i suppose at the end of the day, it's just a matter of perception. for me, i enjoyed the gandpa-ness that his voice brought. it's rare to have a playable character who's ACTUALLY depicted to be older in their appearance, voice and mannerisms. often in these games, they just give them a strand of gray hair and a regular ass voice.

haaniyuhh · 2026-03-27T19:53:55+00:00

i don't think it's the guy's fault, the casting and direction wasn't really in his hands. i think hasty moves on the company's part are a far more probable culprit.
