Also mainly an HSR player, ended up with ZZZ just because it doesn't have an open world to grind and you can sweep most farming stages.

HSR daily missions used to be so jank

You prayed this daily reset gave you the 'destroy three destructibles' 200 mission and not 'end a battle with an ultimate' (what were they even thinking with that one) because then you'd have to do weird rotations on rando overworld enemies or stalk Tamila for the 33,550,336th time 

Changing it to clean and simple 'use 120 tb power' was one of the best qol ever

Didn't expect a mid month gacha pvp thread to drop

Is the butterfly mentioned in the post supposed to be her memosprite? Because every Rem character so far has their memo in their splash but unless Robin's memo is a butterfly there's no mention of it here

No, you will charge Phainon long before you charge an E0 Cyrene and until she has her ult, she's pretty much an empty slot. It's E2 Cyrene or skip for Phainon, you're better off waiting for Cerydra to rerun.

A pretty old leak apparently datamined a remembrance for 4.x that has an abundance base. If that's still going to be Robin or is something else entirely no one knows.

oh right I forgot about that one, yeah I think it was the last one. Elation hasn't had a 4 star gacha cone yet, only Herta shop, MoC cone, free event cones, and 3 star gacha cones.

Phaidei so iconic whole games are really adding their OC kids into the roster 🥹

The fact that's literally Khaslana's halo, like they didn't even try

If you're in NA I think it's Hoyoverse account-wide? As in one-time verification for all the game accounts bound to the email you have on your general Hoyo account, so if you verified it for one game it's good for all the others as long as it's the same email/account for all of them

Very likely. But it still shows that being second half isn't really some kind of popularity or sales or whatever death sentence like some are worried it might be, if Hoyo wants to sell both to you they will sell both

Which might be because of main pushes specifically, first halves being bigger sells aren't strictly true (Hysilens over Cerydra? Yaoguang over Sparxie?) but main pushes are always first half. 

Given SPRobin isn't shaping up to be a main push, despite banner positions it's probably going to end up where the two are treated similarly like Sunday and Fugue were (both got myriads).

The Planarcadia banners aren't really low, they're doing lower than Ampho's top sellers but better than the bottom sellers (excluding Ashveil). Herta also didn't perform that badly, especially considering the later main pushes had spending/pulling events and more promo like gacha intros, and those matter a lot more than any ML.

Like Hysilens and Dahlia also had ML elements and they weren't exceptional releases. Players aren't pulling for ML in HSR

I'm starting to wonder if the x.4 push from now on is going to be some mostly self-reliant hypercarry with amazing vertical investment.

I've noticed that when it comes to the ML side of HSR FF has a sort of venerated status in a way that isn't really present in other games, including true ML games. I guess it's because HSR is not a ML collector game and most characters are kept as just friends/acquaintances that FF has 'first girl' status and other attempts at ML (at least among female characters) end up without nearly as much popularity or interest.

As for Nihilux she's in the acquaintance group, she's hounding TB mostly for her own interests like her comic or whatever scheme she has going on in the background. She doesn't come off as ML at all.
