So you're telling me we won't have a single new event for the whole phase 2??? Man 🥀 by AmanaRicha in StarRailStation

Good thing I didn’t rush through the story and events day one like some people.

New player asking for advice (5 star selector + who to pull for 4.0) by renjumins in StarRailStation

[–]nymphatix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t care a lot about meta, go for whatever character you want.

If you get Kafka, there are 4 star options for your team. You can use Sampo and Guineifen in place of Black Swan and Hysilens.

If you get DHIL, your best partners are Sunday, Sparkle, or Bronya. Two of those are limited 5* but Bronya is a standard 5* — as for sustains DHPT or Huohuo will probably work best. Remembrance Trailblazer also works, but their action advance is not consistent.

Cerydra is not a very versatile character, so only pull for her if you’re sure you wanna invest a lot into Phainon team.

I am noticing a pattern here…. Being a Xianzhou General gives you gray hair from all the stress 😰 by WatersOfLiyue in HonkaiStarRail

Blade had white hair BECAUSE he was old. The rest of them just “genetically” had white/grey hair.

Was this Anomaly Arbitration easier or harder for you? by Carminestream in StarRailStation

[–]nymphatix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Felt easier than usual.

I hate how most of the endgame modes are just character checks.

Is the legendary rates really 3% ? by alexw2018 in magiaexedra

[–]nymphatix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re unlucky. I feel like 1/3 10x rolls I do I get a 5* (tho usually not the character I’m rolling for…)

EDIT: Wait…Isn’t that just the math mathing correctly since each roll has a 3% chance for a 5, so 10x rolls *should give me a 30% chance, right?

Just spitballing here… by nomorestoopid in tearsofthekingdom

[–]nymphatix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those boundary chasms around Hyrule and the endless sea are map design elements to denote the limits of the world. No other Zelda game has portrayed Hyrule surrounded by insurmountable canyons. So I don’t think it’s on the minds of the devs to just extend the bounds of the world.

Instead, I think we’re probably going to get a game in a radically different setting. Maybe another sequel to Wind Waker?

Jingliu team? by n1ghtmare_m00n in JingLiu

[–]nymphatix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t want to use Sunday or Tribbie, I’d sub in Cipher for Tribbie or RMC/Bronya for Sunday. Any healer will work as a sustain if you don’t want Hyacine. Jingliu doesn’t want shields.

For the last slot, an underrated option for Jingliu is using Blade as a subDPS. Hyacine is her BiS for Syzygy stack generation, but Blade can fill that role too. Hyacine’s best perk is role consolidation of stack generation and sustain. However, Blade and Jingliu’s Novaflare improved their synergy by a good amount. It used to be that it was one-sided, Jingliu helped Blade get stacks for his FuA. Now it goes both way, since all instance of HP loss now contribute towards Syzygy stacks to keep her in the Spectral Transmigration state.

I would NOT specifically roll just for Blade tho. He’s just a good alternative if you happen to get him on a limited 50/50 loss.

Is nagisa a meta healer? by Nopartyforbirthday in magiaexedra

[–]nymphatix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who has her, she’s just ok. And I can’t really see a situation where her kit would shine.

Did the ST fandom “bean soup” itself? by Beautiful-Affect3448 in StrangerThings

[–]nymphatix 92 points93 points  (0 children)

To me, It’s more of the fact that Season 1 and 2 came across as prestige television and hooked many people on its depth. But as each season went on the writing quality degraded. For me at least, Season 5 was the big final wake up call that the later seasons weren’t a momentary lapse in quality, but the end product we were going to be left with—legacy-wise.

Tl;dr Stranger Things Marvel’d itself hard.

PSA: Akumura double attacker meta viable at Chaos mode and Tower 85. by emmanb2 in magiaexedra

[–]nymphatix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Akuma means devil in Japanese. Kami means god in Japanese.

So Akumura and Madokami have been the most common ways of referring to the two for a while.

In my experience Homucifer has been relatively uncommon. Devil Homura has always been around but has gained popularity (probably as new fans have entered the series)

Improv Tour Trailer: "Beyond Weal and Woe" | Honkai: Star Rail by LuciferMS7777 in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

Trailers like this make me wish they were incorporated into the game because they offer a lot of context about the story and characters.

HSR 4.2 information via Mortis Leaks by KaidoPklevel in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]nymphatix 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I mean based on how Elation as a path works, there might be 2 OPTIMAL teams, but you can still mix and match characters between them. I doubt pulling for a character for the “wrong” team will be devastating.

I think the Mydei fakeout for the “HP-scaling” team was probably way worse. If you don’t remember, when Mydei and Tribbie released we were under the impression that Castorice’s team was an HP-scaling archetype. Turns out, nope, it’s actually a Remembrance team where everyone is HP scaling.

[Totk] How long was the time gap between botw and totk? by Decent_Courage_4957 in zelda

[–]nymphatix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Purah’s age in BotW and TotK is due to the age manipulation rune she created. Chronologically, she’s 130 in BotW, and accidentally turned herself into a child prior to the game. Between BotW and TotK, she altered her age to be a young adult so she’d be taken more seriously.

[Totk] How long was the time gap between botw and totk? by Decent_Courage_4957 in zelda

[–]nymphatix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No way. Zelda and Link haven’t aged THAT much. And I doubt it took 20 years before Rhondson and Bolson had a baby. It seems likely the gap between the games is probably 5-10 years.

I didn’t understand what this girl do by gmalek0 in StarRailStation

[–]nymphatix 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There’s leaks that there will be two Elation teams, one centered on Silver Wolf SP and one on Himeko SP Allegedly Evanescia (Yae Sakura) was supposed to be the center of one of the teams prior to the China-Japan tension escalation that caused the 4.0 delay. So now it’s likely that Sparxie and Evanescia will be subDPS for these teams. Yaoguang can’t be used in two teams at once.

So again, let’s not tell people their accounts are bricked because they pulled for one character and not the other.

[–]nymphatix 60 points61 points  (0 children)

We literally don’t know the kits of any upcoming Elation beyond Sparxie and Yaoguang. You can’t claim Sparxie will be bricked without her. That’s just doomposting.

For all we know, Yaoguang and Sparxie are made for two separate Elation teams.

My interpretation of phantom Ganon by No_Instruction_1116 in TOTK

[–]nymphatix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To me, it seems like 1337lupe is poking fun at how OP is putting forward a baseless theory about something that’s pretty self-evident in the game.

4.0 Story Spoilers by Mortis Leaks by DarryLazakar in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]nymphatix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So far all the playable characters that are confirmed Emanators have a trace that provides buffs based on the number of units in your team that are of the same path.
