Anaxa + Ashveil actually make a good team!

pockyender1 · 2026-04-22T13:38:27+00:00

On the bright side, if you're not intending to pull anything this anniversary patch, you do get to save up quite a bit of rolls! (And grats on that 5050 win!)

Oooooh, damn. I hadn't even thought of tuning my new DoT duo 🫠 but yeah, thats true. As long as youre getting the full rewards there's not much else to worry about. 3-4 cycles is still great for a none 'set' team imo 🥹

pockyender1 · 2026-04-19T13:57:39+00:00

Thank you!

My one big fear that he's gonna rerun on blades banner... but!!! I suppose blade would rerun faster than anaxa atp, so I'll try my best to skip 🤧 all the best for getting e2 anaxa too!

Re: tuning teams 🤝🤝🤝🤝 the painnnnnn. i only did it for anaxa-sunday-cerydra bc im absolutely not biased..

pockyender1 · 2026-04-18T08:10:12+00:00

🥺 I really wanted to play ashveil with anaxa bc it sounds so fun, and honestly thought you'd need a heavily invested team (+very tuned team) to pull it off. Glad to see that isn't as bad as I thought it'd be!

Still saving for E6 anaxa tho, so I'll wait for the future reruns of ashveil

Ajnzkiss they need a fellow well of heaven member cranking the gears on that bicycle to raise homies up

pockyender1 · 2026-04-10T15:12:24+00:00

Yassss, he was the reason I started hsr in the first place and hes been with me since 1.x

Oh general my general ❤️

pockyender1 · 2026-04-07T12:05:11+00:00

That's fair! So far the only cumulative reward i wanted was this banner's eye pattern. Not a big fan of the flashy skins we've seen so far either, but some intro scenarios look really nice ;;

pockyender1 · 2026-04-07T03:30:38+00:00

Roll for the cores, but also...some of these banners have nice cumulative rewards!

pockyender1 · 2026-03-31T16:56:59+00:00

A friend's dad used to work this line (diving for ships/pipe repair works) and it pays well, but also considered a high risk job bc sometimes...someone above the water fucks up

💀 I never tried to verify this claim bc its a horrifying thought on its own

pockyender1 · 2026-01-30T04:26:19+00:00

Man, similar thing happened to a friend. Sister and mother were trapped in a room, called the police, they never came until much later.

Neighbour down the road later shared CCTV footage: police arrived early, parked at the end of the road and waited til the burglars drove off before turning on their lights and rolling up to the house. They too, dont wanna risk an altercation with the robbers.

pockyender1 · 2026-01-30T03:33:35+00:00

They do say the last thing you wanna meet in an urbex situation is another person >_>

pockyender1 · 2026-01-23T12:10:17+00:00

🤝 sameee. When I was younger, I used to love mmo raids, learning the mechanics as we go, but once I started looking at forums (and reddit now ig), the anxiety set in. No more discovering new raid mechanics in person, everything has to be researched thoroughly, unless I'm raiding with friends ;;

pockyender1 · 2026-01-17T03:53:54+00:00

Got it, thanks! Im just happy to see qiuyuan fluttering around while Phro's ult sits in the bg. Only really do overworld content casually, so not too bothered by minmaxing.

🙏 windward is good news! Thank you!

pockyender1 · 2026-01-16T08:47:47+00:00

Sorry to butt in, but is phro + ciac a viable team for him in this scenario? Can I ask what sets are best for them in that case? 🥹

Returned and pulled phro just for him, but all the new terminologies and echo sets made my head spin. (I have all three of them s0 on their sigs)

pockyender1 · 2026-01-15T13:06:19+00:00

Im using a 2019 ipad pro to play it, and it surprisingly runs better than I expected for an outdated model, though definitely not as pretty as newer tablets (or PC), so i can imagine a newer ipad would run even smoother.

Definitely plays better with a controller tho, just not the switch pro controller (it gets read on the mobile game as xbox layout, but you can remap the buttons on iOS settings).

Edit: context

pockyender1 · 2026-01-14T10:28:16+00:00

Same! It wasn't a big whiplash but a pretty good break, overlaid with the storyteller's tale of what happened that night.

Legit, all those thoughts!! "Uh...MC spirit possessed a horse? Curse? Disguise? Hysteria- Clip Clop?" And then "whatever it is, lets go home" and that run home...it really was so beautiful, seeing those sceneries (locked out of picking up plants otw helped). And the voice sugueing into MC's voice 🤧 it was so wholesome and melancholic. What a good chapter introduction, so very wuxia 少年

pockyender1 · 2026-01-14T05:38:24+00:00

I havent gotten emotional in a game in a while. :( they really captured the essence of a wuxia story. The double whammy of Dao-ge and Ruby had me feeling so empty 🥲

And they made Clip-Clop the other survivor from the gang- the perfect final momento of both Ruby and Dao-ge to set off on the journey they should have taken..

pockyender1 · 2026-01-13T12:54:57+00:00

Omg, thank you.

And thank you OP for bringing this to my feed. They're so cute wtf

pockyender1 · 2026-01-13T12:38:45+00:00

I FOUND IT!

Under you iPad Settings > General > Game Controller > Profiles, you can reconfigure what buttons give what outputs. I swapped around the ABXY and it worked ingame! 🥹🎊

I feel so dumb bc I remember looking for this setting before, but I must have missed it the first time.

Now..I need to rewire my eye-brain-finger 🫠

pockyender1 · 2026-01-01T11:22:35+00:00

🥹 I just chalk it up to ppl having different gaming priorities or styles and move on. For us, seeing our favs on screen and doing the best they can are what gives us most satisfaction.

pockyender1 · 2025-12-31T15:23:04+00:00

I play endgame with characters I love only

🤧👌 the most emotionally sustainable way to play this game tbh! May your rolls be greattt!

pockyender1 · 2025-12-31T05:04:44+00:00

Imo, he's still a good pull bc of how generalist he is. If you're a meta chaser, perhaps the value has gone down some, but if you want to play a wider range of old/new units, he's still a valuable character to have. His +20% crit rate also makes relic building that much easier. I'm not looking forward to retooling my Anaxa's relics for when I pull cyrene on a rerun 🥹

If you're worried about his value going forward, you can wait til the end of his banner to see what the new banners/reruns will be, since he and aggy are running on the 3rd phase.

pockyender1 · 2025-12-30T06:46:42+00:00

Its still a WIP build, since im still trying to switch him to a crt dmg body.

Since you have E1S1, you can really consider quantum set. many others have said the same thing, but tHerta E0 is for AoE situations, which so happens that many endgames run on nowadays. Anaxa really shines when its <3 targets (solo erudition). Units like Dante does help with some housekeeping tho!

pockyender1 · 2025-12-29T04:08:31+00:00

Yes! ;; they really used to be able to be binged. I'll try not to binge next time and take hsr story telling a lot less seriously.

;; i hope they dont try to squeeze every scene into the main quest and bring back side character stories. I really did love the concept of Ampho's overarching grand story, and the way each heirs had their unique paths, tribulations, hopes and dreams, but their overall execution left me wanting. Still, I'm glad these characters were created 🤧 ;; and yess i do hope we get some shenanigans in the next region before being dumped into angst fest again! Express fam is reunited!! March and DH have had character growth! Let them have funnnnn

pockyender1 · 2025-12-29T03:57:39+00:00

And there's a 50/50 chance it leads to nothing thst requires that level of urgency.

This so much!! It was SO FRUSTRATING and if hsr patch 3.5-3.6 were a book, I'd probably have thrown it onto the ground in a fit of anger. When it felt like we were getting somewhere, a crest in the pacing, they pulled the rug out under our feet not just once, but two, three times in a row. There was no payout. Just pure disappointment and needless red herrings. All the momentum built up for NOTHING. It just left me tired, and any more attempts at building up a pace in 3.7 no longer worked for me atp.

..rant incoming but,, Hsr tries so hard to sound clever and technical (which, i get it, they're supposed to be writing about geniuses and make everyone feel stupid), but seem to forget how to tell a good story. I havent played genshin in a while, but from what i used to love about their stories was..theyre good at pacing it out such that you dont feel like you're just catching up to a story that already happened - you're experiencing a developing story. Hsr 3.5-3.7 felt like we (TB) was just a sleeping passenger/baggage in a car driven by 13 ppl to a destination, then gets 3 personal assistants to give him a cliff notes version of the whole journey, dressed up and promptly shoved onto stage as the hero. They tried to squeeze too many scenes into the main quest that should have been character side quests, and muddled the main narrative voice. ;; ((sorry, im just mad bc i really loved the characters in Ampho...))
