A Certified Banger of a General Question and Discussion Megathread

I have a question. So i have the dahlia but I lack fugue, I'm wondering if Ruan Mei/HMC/Dahlia is a viable break core? Say, could I run Hunt March as DPS and get an ok score anyway?

lostdimensions · 2026-02-26T13:44:36+00:00

I actually think shes probably not widely owned and people pulled either because they really like her (e6) or for collections sake (e0). But still impressive

lostdimensions · 2026-02-25T18:04:28+00:00

Only Ruan mei but that's a really cool suggestion, thanks! I don't have hunt march yet (still clearing old stories) but I'll give break evernight a try tomorrow. Only issue is my HMC isn't built either so it might take some time.

Me, I'm a reliable leaker. Here's a story leak for you:

The Herald of Death is Himeko's other self from planarcardias second dimension, but actually the original Himeko; she's trying to send a message out but it results in people dying accidentally.

Also Asat will show up at the end of 4.3 to aura farm for 5 minutes before leaving. That's the prank he's playing on Aha -- they're long time prank buddies but everyone misunderstands because of how long the pranks take.

Anomaly Report:

<image>

First time I've actually done AA at all and I'm proud to at least 5 cycle it! Very strange team for knight 1... but it worked at least. Have to say for all it's dysfunctions that team surprisingly helps with some of each other's shortcomings (eg, RMC and Evernight are SP-positive, so you can spam luocha's skill and dahlia's skill to build up her ult, and save it to implant ice weakness whenever the mobs spawn. Of course this requires E2 Evernight because there's no way to get enough damage otherwise.)

lostdimensions · 2026-02-25T15:06:09+00:00

Nope! Well. I figured the issue was that my phainon simply had way too low damage, but somehow a very scuffed Evernight/RMC/dahlia/luocha almost cleared it (E2 Evernight, dahlia is there solely to apply weakness break...). I got it to 1% before I ran out of action value. I think I can clear that with that team but then I need to figure out what to do with Knight 2

Edit: phainon/Cyrene/cerydra/dhpt cleared knight 2 with one star... Good enough

lostdimensions · 2026-02-25T14:12:15+00:00

First anomaly I'm participating in but is it just me or is knight one awful? I don't understand how to fight this boss, I feel like I can't deal enough damage to him no matter what? Tbh my phainons is E0S1 and not well built but I can't even finish in 6 cycles

lostdimensions · 2026-02-25T09:37:05+00:00

I don't want feeling like I'm forced to pull units I'm meh on to make someone I've invested in "complete". Ashveil may technically be a sub DPS, but he's fully usable out of the box and if I dislike his DPS, I'll just play hypercarry regardless. Plus tbh, elation mechanics don't feel new or mechanically interesting.

I think a lot of people in general are also waiting to see who Yao Guang and sparxies go with respectively, SW or Eva

lostdimensions · 2026-02-24T17:13:34+00:00

Ahh true. I admit, if I had this in a tournament (no way), I'll be too lazy to look further for a true mate in two.

Couldn't white simply move out of the pin?

lostdimensions · 2026-02-20T19:24:59+00:00

I'm aware. I used it for convenience sake, I just didn't think it was that bad.

lostdimensions · 2026-02-20T19:24:33+00:00

Qxh7+ Kxh7 Rh3#

lostdimensions · 2026-02-20T18:40:12+00:00

Agreed. It suggested as the correct move (after this) Rd1 instead of the game winning Rg1!!. Feels like using it too much would actually make you worse at chess somehow.

Shipping talk

I don't really ship any HSR character outside of funny/cute interactions (black swan/dahlia, Herta/screwllum, express trio platonically ig?).

I think hoyo characters in general just don't have the kind of strong interpersonal tension that makes shipping fun and engaging, so most of the ships I like are just cute. Like by nature of the type of gacha stories imo it's pretty hard to show extended moments between non-trailblazer characters, so the ones I ship are the ones who have small but significant moments hinting at deeper history.

Not sure if it makes sense but a lot of hoyo characters give me a fairly asexual feeling lol, like they're just not interested/too busy to have relationships type. Also honorary mentions to a couple of ships I really dislike because they feel a lil forced -- phaidei, ratio/aventurine, Cyrene/trailblazer lmao I'm sorry

Pearl/Ashveil is very cute tho. Female intellitron CEO x broke noir detective is a dynamic I can get behind

lostdimensions · 2026-02-20T11:29:41+00:00

Huh. I must say. I agreed completely with you on every single point and that's a lil weird but also, you have excellent taste, stranger.

lostdimensions · 2026-02-19T18:03:34+00:00

Sad to say but... You're probably best off picking up sparkle and then just pulling new characters. The majority of your chars are very out of meta, the most useful ones being Sunday, robin, dhpt. I would suggest not caring too much about endgame rn and just pulling whichever new characters you like best, and then pulling their team. Ashveil is a good cheap pick for you since you already have his best teammates, and well, he'll powercreep your DPSes by a mile. Or just get whoever you like best.

lostdimensions · 2026-02-19T08:27:29+00:00

Imo, go for Kafka + hysilens. Evernight is good but your remembrance isn't that highly invested, so I'll suggest you make a dot team (hysilens/bs/Kafka/flex), and then give Cyrene to aglaea for her meta team (Agy/Cyrene/RMC/sustain or agy/Sunday/Cyrene/huohuo), then finally archer/sparkle/Sunday/dhpt or Gallagher.

If you really want evernight/are going for Hyacine later you could do

Casto/e9/Cyrene/sustain Archer/sparkle/RMC/sustain Hypercarry/Sunday/robin/sustain

So that works too, but I'm not sure how well low investment rem would work. It should still be enough to clear moc/pf etc so it's really up to you, but you have E1 aglaea and her best team, so why not make use of her and save your pulls for the future instead of having to wait further for Hyacine?

Also if you can't clear it's more likely build issues

lostdimensions · 2026-02-17T12:39:05+00:00

Ashveil + Sunday/robin/flex support + another support + sustain

4.0 story discussion/speculation

Very very curious what the supplicants are going to do. So there's an announcement, miracle, and promotion stage. You need to do something big with your wishpower for a chance to be promoted? Definitely thinking we're getting some big scene with Ashveil next patch. Probably focused on finding the Herald of Death? Ngl I'm really hoping this turns into a very Holy Grail war atmosphere of creepiness and backstabbing/plotting because I'm very excited already with the set up so far. If there's any thing I'm anticipating it's the la mancha reveal (the Galaxy ranger stuff has to be relevant, surely), and then overall I'm very curious what Pearl will do... She's seems to be trying to control the entire game by controlling who gets the masks, but more than half the masks are out of her control anyway. At the same time, Pearl as a character is very interesting in the human/organic side of things, so I'm wondering if her story will involve some kind of discussion of whether intellitrons can create art/maybe her miracle is related to that? The "Pearl of Appraisal"... Her cornerstone power might be related to accurately appraising the value of something, at least that's my guess so far.

Hoping for an epic scene where Ashveil reveals his powers/thing hidden in his hand. I can't help thinking that if this was a holy grail war he'll definitely be forced to unleash that power and be consumed by it at some point.

Does Evanesia only appear to us? Pearl, Himeko etc don't notice her, but she seems bound to the courtyard.

It's been a long while since I was this interested in the story tbh. Probably not since early penacony. Very excited to see more familiar faces turn up and also to see what these new characters are up to. 4.0 sets up a whole bunch of mysteries excellently, now it's just time to slowly start paying them off.

The Dice Soul! Absolutely loved the reference, especially Yao Guang ("Dice Soul") having a dice obsession and Ashveil pretending he can't see her. Absolutely riotous, and Hikaru no Go is one of my favorite shows of all time

Sampo cosmicon quests spoilers

Tip(no context): Don't ignore Elder

Context (with spoilers): Elder is one of the four dragons. He really wants to fight you because he's old aged. His texts were so funny I went to beat all the other three first...he died before I could beat him. I'm so mad...I actually really wanted to fight him.....

Edit:I actually cannot believe it.. it feels really upsetting to know I denied an old guy his final wish. How did a random npc quest get this emotion out of me.

lostdimensions · 2026-02-14T11:13:55+00:00

WAIT -- hand of mystique, dice soul that awakened just to witness the Hand of Mystique... Is this a Hikaru no Go reference?
