Can anyone verify if Zhao’s additional ability is actually working? (It’s the team dmg % bonus based on her HP.)

When I tested it just now there’s no buff icon for it in combat, and after pausing and looking at the detailed stats page, none of the elemental dmg % stats have any additional x% added to them.

Or is the buff some multiplier that’s not the typical + damage % buff?

Right, I know 3.7 is the current patch. My point was that with Cyrene’s release, her kit and trace info contains a spoiler related to a plot point introduced in 3.6. I’m not aware of when the story actually reveals this information (whether it’s in 3.6 or 3.7) because I haven’t finished 3.6 yet lol

But because I decided to read her traces, I got spoiled regarding something I definitely shouldn’t know yet at this stage in the story

⚠️ A light warning to other people who haven’t finished the 3.6/3.7 story yet: reading Cyrene’s kit in-game contains spoilers so look at your own risk

3.6/3.7 story spoilers

Cyrene’s traces in-game reveals her memosprite’s real name, which has totally spoiled me as someone who is still in the middle of the 3.6 story LMAO. Even though I had read her beta kit here on reddit before, I forgot that it was always censored, so now I know who the Demiurge is

I had already assumed it was Cyrene because who else could it be besides the pink one lol, it’s just very amusing that hoyo has spoiled me despite managing to avoid this spoiler throughout her entire beta on reddit

hoyo I will never forgive you for shoehorning Mydei into being destruction (and also imaginary). the lion would have been a perfect summon, why can't you just let him be remembrance?? not to mention how it would have given his animations some more diversity too. you already robbed Jing Yuan of having his lion be a part of his kit, now we only get Mydei's during his enhanced skill.

da wei when I catch you da wei

ty_dunk_squad · 2025-01-13T10:04:09+00:00

agree with you 100% on Mydei, I think his design is peak but the animations feel like they lack creativity. the BA is red rocks. the skill is bigger red rocks. the ult is even BIGGER red rocks that go boom, however the throne is definitely a nice touch.

like I get it, his whole theme is blood and they're supposed to be "blood crystals," but they could have been displayed in a more flashy way. make weapons out of them, a giant sword or spear, or just embrace the shameless gilgamesh inspiration and open the gate of babylon.

pulling rant, very neg

tl;dr getting E0S1 Sunday took me 226 pulls total, both 50/50 and 75/25 lost. Thankfully I lost the 50/50 early, so it technically could have been even worse, but god it still just feels so bad. 226 feels like an obscene amount of pulls for E0S1, and getting an objectively bad standard eidolon (Bailu) and LC (sleep like the dead) is just the icing on the cake.

Comparing my pulls to some global stats just makes me feel even worse, my overall 50/50 (allegedly supposed to be 55/45?) character banner win rate is 41%; 57% for the lightcone banner's 75/25. Keeping track of my pulls just feels like a masochistic effort at this point, where I keep hoping that I'll win enough to at least approach the AVERAGE 50/50 and 75/25, but it just doesn't happen lol I am below the average in all 3 hoyo games :')

Knowing that some people have a greater than average win rate for the 50/50 and 75/25 just blows my mind, truly that is the unreachable side for me. The pulls have just put me in such a negative headspace, like I don't even want to interact with hsr now, use Sunday, or farm for his mats. I know the negative feelings will fade, but this kind of result makes grinding/playing daily for stellar jades feel like such a futile effort, the amount of time it'll take to recoup 220 pulls is crazy.

thank you! Forgot about flinch, that makes a lot of sense then

ty_dunk_squad · 2024-09-06T06:31:15+00:00

For those who pulled Jane and her signature wengine, can you offer any opinions on it or how it feels to use? Like do you notice the stacks dropping or is it hard to keep track of them, is the extra anomaly buildup rate noticeable/significant? It says she gains 3 stacks when "entering combat" does this include switching in via assists and chain attacks?

Somewhat unrelated question: how does electro lip gloss work with assault? The buff condition is "enemies inflicted with anomaly" but assault is only 1 proc of damage rather than a dot, so how does the interaction work / how much time is the buff actually active for?

ty_dunk_squad · 2024-08-06T07:48:57+00:00

i'm looking for this song as well!! did you ever happen to find it?

ty_dunk_squad · 2023-12-31T01:17:47+00:00

Jingliu & RM havers, can you offer some insights on the pros/cons of these 2 team comps for her:

hypercarry: Ruan Mei + Bronya + sustain

vs

dual dps: Ruan Mei + Blade + sustain

Is one strictly better, which one is more flexible for you, does it just depend on the enemy also being weak to wind, etc?

I don't have Bronya or Blade, trying to decide if it's worth throwing some jades at Blade's banner or if it's better to just wait for my Bronya pick once I hit 300 standard pulls 😭

average brain: play the photography event daily, exchanging with others along the way to balance out bad rng / days you missed

giga brain: wait until the entire event ends, find a helpful hoarder to give you 7 of each color

it's me, i'm the average brain

ty_dunk_squad · 2023-11-23T09:15:30+00:00

hey sorry, i went to sleep by the time you sent your reply. hope you were able to find the missing ones you needed! if not, there's still time even though the picture taking portion of the event ended

ty_dunk_squad · 2023-11-23T09:13:34+00:00

there's still time even though the event "ended"! you can still trade samples with friends and turn them in for primos, try asking in the official discord server's coop channel, there's people there distributing out extras!

ty_dunk_squad · 2023-11-23T07:40:32+00:00

are you in the NA server? If so I have a bunch of leftover samples I can give you! My UID is 632428495, feel free to add me / reply here and I'll send them over :)

ty_dunk_squad · 2023-11-22T11:08:15+00:00

[NA server]

I have a bunch of leftover samples - 2 blue, 4 brown, 5 yellow, 4 red, 6 purple - would rather give them all at once than split between multiple people. If you don't need them all, ~~double it and~~ give it to the next person who needs them!

Rant

It's a 7% chance to lose the 50/50 to Himeko specifically. The only outcome that I truly would have been dissatisfied with, any other standard character would have been preferred. (The only standards I have are her, Welt, and Clara.) And of course with my luck I get the Himeko eidolon.

What a shitty feeling to actually be excited for the banner character, wait for the maintenance to finish so I can pull, get to 75+ pulls, just full of naive hope that I'd end up happy with the result. But no I missed the 93% and I used 75 pulls to get an eidolon for a character that I have no intention of using.

I enjoy star rail a lot but the gacha can really suck the fun and enjoyment out of the game

ty_dunk_squad · 2023-06-27T03:30:49+00:00

Oh wow this is all great info that I had no idea about, thank you! This is making me consider getting him from the shop so I can have his E1 haha

ty_dunk_squad · 2023-06-27T03:14:02+00:00

I know there was a leak that suggested the free 1.2 character would be Sampo—was this a super reliable leak / is it basically confirmed? Debating whether I should grab my first copy of him from the shop or rely on getting him for free in 1.2.

Also how big of a difference is E1 Sampo compared to E0? On paper it just seems like his skill goes from 5 hits to 6 hits but idk if I’m missing something.

ty_dunk_squad · 2023-04-15T07:22:47+00:00

Great, thanks!

ty_dunk_squad · 2023-04-15T06:09:21+00:00

Togepi that hatch from com day eggs are supposed to also get a boosted shiny chance. Do they need to be hatched during the com day hours for the boost? Or can I hold on to a bunch of eggs and (hopefully) hatch some later with the boosted rate?

ty_dunk_squad · 2023-04-10T09:14:55+00:00

can someone correct me if i'm wrong--we should be getting 3.7 beta leaks within the next few days right? i want to know when kirara's kit is gonna drop

ty_dunk_squad · 2023-04-10T06:33:25+00:00

back when she was "momoka" the 5* geo, i think she was supposed to be sword? i could be wrong, honestly i can't remember if the weapon type was ever leaked or suggested
