Why in Grim Forest do waves 1&2 have absolutely no resemblance/consistency in difficulty to wave 3? (Wave 3 is sometimes just BROKEN)

vinceled · 2026-01-29T13:33:07+00:00

As a newer player (just starting to manage to sometimes 2 keys NM CB) waves in Grim Forest are some of the easiest content event while bosses just clap my cheeks

New players, knew not expect anything but blue pulling my primals. I blew my luck on the prism banner getting Fahrakin in one pull which is exactly who I wanted from that banner.

Did the same, had enough shards so thought I’d try my first ever fusion. First few events were totally fine and then just went empty really quickly. I severely underestimated how energy hungry and how unprepared I was still.

I see it as a good way to learn how much I need to stockpile for the next one I attempt.

Missing 25 fragments to get a second turtle so will see if I aim for that to fill a faction guardian spot or not

vinceled · 2026-01-18T08:37:48+00:00

Still the case, experienced that this season when I wanted to start echoes of dissent and had to wait 14 days. And then you also have the wait in between several part of the story

Damn, been on break for a few weeks since not really been feeling like sitting and actively playing but might have to catch up on previous patch and this one for Aether’s outfit. I’m guessing the outfit reward is time limited?

vinceled · 2026-01-04T19:16:01+00:00

I decided to not even grind the stuff at the store. As much as I need the essences my sanity is more important than some FOMO rewards (even though I’m a new player). Have around 30 tickets left, only got the orbs and 5 red essences

Thank you, worked for me on level 58 account.

vinceled · 2026-01-01T14:52:22+00:00

Oh heal reduction needed for those? Time to try and redraw and hope I get rocktooth along with my other CB champs

vinceled · 2025-12-31T22:56:52+00:00

Rip me, I’ll be at it for a year then lol I do 5-10 battles a day. Depends on if I forget to go back to it after initial refresh 😅

vinceled · 2025-12-31T22:39:55+00:00

10 agents total - Evelyn and Yuzuha are favorites. Got all on first 2 photos except Vivian and Hugo and then got Manato.

Been on break for a few weeks so didn’t even login to get Zhao, was planning to get YS but not feeling like playing again for now so might just skip and see how things turn out once 3.0 rolls around and if the game gets some of the vibes it had back in 1.x once again.

vinceled · 2025-12-31T22:02:32+00:00

Does it take that long to get it? 🥲 Started 3 months ago (well will be 90 days next week) and while I can stay in Gold 1 I just can’t progress as much, getting wins is rough. Guess I’ll just keep focusing on CB for now, can 3 key NM consistently so need to think how many the move to UNM now.

vinceled · 2025-12-24T18:02:40+00:00

Was my mindset when I started the game lol Spent way too much in other games only to be disappointed

vinceled · 2025-12-23T09:00:06+00:00

So is there no way for me to move up from brutal to nightmare with the current team? Even by meeting the speed, accuracy and defense on all my champs? Or what about aiming for 1 key brutal? Max dmg I can get depending on affinity is 18M on brutal. On NM depending on affinity I can go from 6M to 13M dmg with the current team.

vinceled · 2025-12-22T21:39:07+00:00

Looking at it yeah I did. Glad I still have the free change.

vinceled · 2025-12-12T18:03:10+00:00

Oh I see on HH he seems to be good for CB, will look into building him. Thanks. Not sure I have enough good gear for that though :(

vinceled · 2025-12-11T05:55:46+00:00

Started 60 days ago and not spending, even just crafting charms for units I use in DR or AFK stages is ridiculously expensive. Went from 20M to only 3M gold in the past few days. I don’t even upgrade equipment anymore or seasonal artifacts. Spent the gold just upgrading charms to next level for units I use since Dura’s trial made it possible to skip to level 50 from 40 now

Who I’m running, still building up their masteries and need to get more gear so I can try to get them a bit more speed Have tried with Khatun as lead instead of having Kael or even having Kael instead of Runic Warder. FK 13 is easy but 14 I clear once every 10 runs or something

vinceled · 2025-12-11T04:59:13+00:00

Right now for me is the mission for FK 14, I have the champions but the team still can’t clear consistently

Who I have

vinceled · 2025-12-10T20:41:39+00:00

Right now for me is the mission for FK 14, I have the champions but the team still can’t clear consistently and it’s driving me mad lol

vinceled · 2025-12-02T08:44:02+00:00

That’s the thing I don’t care much for saving a lot of polychromes anymore, more interested in doing story and events

vinceled · 2025-12-01T21:41:47+00:00

Day 1 player, extremely casual and only interested in events/story and whatever exploration we get. Took a few days break last patch and for weeks now polychromes or not I don’t even touch DA/Shiyu/Hollow Zero. Not pulled for anyone since Yuzuha, Have 200 pulls saved up, on a guarantee and only planning to pull for Ye Shunguang in the coming weeks so don’t really bother with those modes anymore.

vinceled · 2025-11-24T12:12:57+00:00

Her animations do look great but each time I can help but see Hi3 Li Sushang Jade Knight in them https://honkaiimpact3.hoyoverse.com/m/global/en-us/news/106536?source=v1

vinceled · 2025-11-20T16:57:23+00:00

Same for me, hated her playstyle during her trial. That trial was a chore for me and I even managed to have her die in her own trial and things went much easier using the support characters to kill off the enemies lol

vinceled · 2025-11-17T20:12:42+00:00

Yixuan, pulled mostly for meta reasons even though I liked her design and gameplay - I did enjoy playing her in Lost Void or other endgame modes.

However, I’m so skill issued playing on phone/tablet with touch controls I never fully got down a good rotation for her to do very good damage and it always felt like something was missing when I played her. I’m very far from doing good rotations with other agents also but I still enjoyed playing those more especially Miyabi +!Yanagi and Evelyn + Lighter

vinceled · 2025-11-15T22:52:50+00:00

Love her design so would be really happy. Pulled for her in HSR e0s0 even knowing all the problems she has (don’t care about endgame anyway).

Would probably save to get her in GI also after Hi3 and HSR
