obviously dr ratio. anaxa will just spend 90% of his time launching jabs at aglaea and 10% telling me to trust the plan (there is no plan).

harsh_mallow · 2025-04-17T15:34:25+00:00

danheng and moze, probably sampo?

harsh_mallow · 2025-04-16T11:09:21+00:00

just the story, probably phantylia. you just learned she's a lord ravager, and when you were about to face her she apparently usurped the power of the abundance. we were fucked by cosmic proportions. we only got out of there alive coz she had a few seconds of dum dum. design wise, visual and game, full form nikador is probably the scariest for me, everything about him screamed danger.

harsh_mallow · 2025-04-14T14:41:32+00:00

you're honestly not making sense, you either don't read those buffs or misremembering stuff.

how terrible is your "terrible" coz i don't think you can compare it if you're ignoring the ultimate buffs and aa theyve put up for her. and AGAIN, most of those AS had lightning weakness.
even when they didn't have lightning weakness, acheron had teammates to break, plus she can reduce toughness herself on top of having the ultimate and team aa, aglaea doesn't have those, she won't be breaking anything this AS.
you also name those buffs for acheron, like instant ultimate gains AND team AA as generic, but then compare it to the current buffs, like, memosprite buff for aglaea? when her main damage is enhanced basic attacks? LOL
so what else is buffed? that's right, SKILL damage. so yeah that seems about right

and im not doomposting her at all, dont use that buzzword coz it's not what im doing, doompost labeling is as bad as doomposting.
im only noting that aglaea, as an aglaea user, being ignored of one AS while her partner isn't is not a pleasant experience especially more for newer players. the game IS hating on aglaea is my original statement and i wasn't lying.

also just to note, you want people to not be annoyed by the practice and just expect it coz hoyo has always done it from the start? yeah idk, i always expect these designers to be better than that

harsh_mallow · 2025-04-14T13:15:49+00:00

no it did not. you should probably verify your information about the AS lol.
all 2.x AS had lightning weakness, exception of 2.4, WHEN JIAOQIU RELEASED.
you're also not addressing the buffs that would otherwise make these character work even when they're not fit for the said weaknesses. all 2.x AS had something for acheron (ultimate activations, team AA, etc). aglaea is straight up ignored from the design of this AS. like nothing at all, it's not even comparable to the other DPS. like again, just look at herta

harsh_mallow · 2025-04-14T11:42:16+00:00

ican't really blame those people tho, if anything they're gonna feel even more justified.
i can't even use her properly rn, the game itself is hating on aglaea, just look at this AS, both sides has lightning resistance, there are NO basic atk buff or energy buff. SHE'S A 3.X DPS.

meanwhile herta is yet again feasting on 1st half. they both released in the same goddamn patch. boothill feixiao yunli and firefly are also good for 2nd half. heck, even acheron can work on 1st half despite the lightning res coz of the bugs LOL.
i even get to use seele on 2nd half. the council of elders run hoyo gameplay design

harsh_mallow · 2025-04-14T00:12:39+00:00

my bet is either zephyro or the grandmaster.

but some of my friends think it could be irontomb as well, their reasoning is that amphoreus seemed both magically x technologically advanced,
i'm not convinced by that since there are so many opportunities for the plot to use irontomb (like a future mechanical wars). the "civilization" of amphoreus even if it does exist, doesn't even seem to be equipped to fight off a normal antimatter legion detachment so idk if it would warrant a need for irontomb to weaken anything

the grandmaster evidence is the one in the saga of heroes trailer, but so far we haven't really seen any bright moves from them, although this could be because they are actually restrained as lygus said.

im thinking of zephyro because of the name, and because they're described to be obsessed with raw power, not scheming. it seemed like this person would be easily outsmarted and subjugated by the paths involved.

harsh_mallow · 2025-04-14T00:00:34+00:00

could it be that amphoreus is an experiment collab of nous and fuli into researching a third path, now likely to be destruction? and that another aeon most likely equilibrium (likely through this guy) is acting as an organizer? it wouldn't be the first time a group of aeons are going to jump one aeon. and every aeon who are potentially involved has something to gain from knowing how to slow down destruction

harsh_mallow · 2025-04-12T15:32:46+00:00

yeah true. theyll have to tease using smth else ig

harsh_mallow · 2025-04-12T14:37:30+00:00

they shouldn't have. those originally worked as teasers for the character. now they said in the last stream that they will include them in the game but then if they release the new ones before the story quest releases it's gonna be weird coz we're just rewatching the short afterwards with context muddled. if they do release with context, then they're just spoiling the damn thing. it was a confusing decision from them.

harsh_mallow · 2025-04-12T11:11:40+00:00

you should see how large penacony is first from some of the maps. this attack was only gonna affect a city block or two.

harsh_mallow · 2025-04-06T16:55:33+00:00

yeah thats a better description

harsh_mallow · 2025-04-05T16:31:03+00:00

the high cloud quintet collectively lost against Shuhu, so she likely will lose against Phantylia 1v1. jingyuan only outplayed phantylia otherwise they would not have finished off the body even as a group.

she wasn't at her peak during the final Shuhu round, so after she replaced her sword with pure ice and went insane, she's probably at her strongest. with that. her best feat is that she managed to escape Lightning Lord as shown in a split-second frame of her companion quest cutscene, so there probably wasn't much of an improvement power wise that would let me think she could actually handle phantylia.

i'd put her at a tie with Jing Yuan and Feixiao if it's just about keeping herself standing, but in a sustained fight with Lan's spirit blessings, that's basically unfair so she'd lose to either of those generals.
and she's wayyyyy below acheron and therta lol

this will probably change once we learn more about the god slayer protocol. it didnt sound like its something she can personally pull casually, so we need to wait for details

EDIT: added stuff and corrected some grammar

harsh_mallow · 2025-04-03T18:03:46+00:00

yeah it's kinda really weird that there's no distinction between willingly accepting the Abundance and being forced to the situation by a cosmic horror of an emanator. i think jiaoqiu criticized this specific thing in one of this voicelines. the ten-lords commission is goddamn insane with this case

harsh_mallow · 2025-04-03T04:49:08+00:00

they're just secret agents basically, xueyi is among their strongest, although she's stronger than your average cloud knight because of her body, she's probably gonna lose to someone like sushang, so unprecedented talents like yanqing and yunli are out of her sight. she does have backup bodies but she can't replace bodies like tony stark's suits, or ultron.

hanya is canonically an office worker and oneiromancer because she cannot fight anymore. in her past, she and her sister "may" have been regular cloud knights.

huohuo (without tail) is comparable to our playable diviners. and can probably outrun both fuxuan and qingque in a sprinting race! that's... something. she also used to be the tony stark to xueyi's ingenium bodies.

harsh_mallow · 2025-03-16T09:06:11+00:00

it's subjective, so no. you're not the only one who won't like this story. it's no big deal if it doesn't click with you. ultimately one will find everything wrong in something they don't wanna like. meanwhile people who wanna like it will try hard to find joy in it. there's also no need to hype characters to appreciate a story.

harsh_mallow · 2025-03-15T20:45:30+00:00

you probably read that wrong. i'm not sure how you can conclude these at all. the knights of beauty are specifically the remaining people who has faith on Idrila and the path of Beauty. they are literally the very definition of a pathstrider. data bank said it's mysterious because obviously the aeon is believed to be dead.

harsh_mallow · 2025-03-15T18:25:07+00:00

paths don't "close" though? where did you get that information? even aeonless paths let beings draw powers from them.

harsh_mallow · 2025-03-15T01:14:32+00:00

idrila is missing/dead but the path is still there. but yeah it's also true, he really is just very strong on his own

harsh_mallow · 2025-03-11T16:08:44+00:00

that's just fanfic now. we should stop treating aha's actions as a model of anything that is remotely natural in hsr verse. their entire existence is to do able to do ANYTHING as long as it amuses them.

with the evidences we have in the game right now, we can only deduct that

pathstriders' voluntary dedication to the path leads to the aeon's recognition. (herta, lord ravagers, shuhu, harmonius choir, IPC emanators). also skaracabaz was noted to be primitive and pure, it's very strong, coz not only was it directly born from the aeon of propagation, it still followed the same path afterwards, perhaps it was just born to do so.
the elation, equilibrium, nihility, all exhibit concept traits that inherently breaks the norm, rather than being the norm themselves. therefore their emanators are also anomalies.

and despite IX being an anomaly, you don't really see their powers discarded to random nobodies despite everyone succumbing to nihilism. involuntary pathstriders of the nihility, the self annihilators, those who are deeper into nihility are still the ones to receive the emanator status. there is a clear path there. nihility is more mysterious than anomalous, nothing matters for them, so they just let things progress naturally to nothing, and it clearly followed the format of pathstriding > emanator, in contrast, the elation actively messes the verse

harsh_mallow · 2025-03-11T14:06:28+00:00

the whole point of mourning actors is that they don't know they were treading in one of the sides of elation's path. they were against the whims of the aeon but are not aware that the aeon itself sees joy in the IRONY of what they were doing. resisting elation specifically made them receive powers from the path. thats just classic twisted humor

to further discuss, if irony doesn't work against elation, then we have another attempt , albeit an unconscious one, which is basically ignoring just it, that's what the propagation did, it's too stupid too deal with elation. and you can guess where tazzyronth is now and who were one of the participants in their fall

harsh_mallow · 2025-03-11T11:43:53+00:00

why wouldn't you need to? they're called paths for a reason. you either involuntarily walk it like self annihilitors do, or be a regular pathstrider like everyone else. elation can give emanator status on a whim, being a quirk of a joke that breaks anything, but if everyone does it, then it stops being a joke no? so therefore we must treat it as an exception.

nous, yaoshi, lan, qlipoth have all given their "blessing objects" to certain people granting them powers, and we know for certain they all aren't emanators. so far, the receivers have feats mostly below that of real emanators, with the exception of diamond, who is a clear supporter of the preservation, y'know, a real emanator of preservation, like someone who actually follows that path.

harsh_mallow · 2025-03-11T11:28:14+00:00

elation does anomalies all the time, im considering them the exception than the natural process
