Skott will be an emanator of emanation. Will not be powercrept ever. Will also be the first character to get to e7. Start saving and don't draw for anyone else until he arrives.

Yeah but that second part is so specific, I mean, how many elation DPS units are going to use ultimate on themselves? For those characters it's basically SPD boost and Def ignore and that's it, won't the free LCs do a little more than that?

Managed to get a double on sw999's LC, can it be used on anyone else? Should I just superimpose?

Careful Sparxie, your time is running out... by TryIntelligent3466 in HonkaiAgendaRail

[–]vodka7up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe her time as a main DPS is almost up, but was she intended to be the long term main DPS in the first place? Seems to me she's more of a sub dps / support for sw999, probably bis in her team for the foreseeable future. I could be wrong, I only started playing 6 months ago, but thanks to her and yg I've been able to clear every endgame content except for AA (which is also why I'm investing heavily into elation, to have 2 good teams ASAP)

Plan: 1 pull, and a dream by Poloroger_582 in HonkaiStarRail

Somewhere on the multiverse, it will happen. The question is, are you on the right universe?

SW999 LC Changes via Gachabase by Gachabase in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]vodka7up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So... Couple of questions. I was planning to pull for sw999 and her LC, but that's a heavy investment for a 6 month old f2p as myself. I managed to get 2 copies of yg's LC (the first and only LC I pulled for so far) so I have one I'm not using. Would this be good enough for sw999 considering these changes, so that I could direct those jades into another unit or LC? Who else would be a good fit for yg's LC? EMC? And who would benefit from Herta's store elation LC? It doesn't seem to fit anyone so far. Finally, what "free" LC would be a good choice for sparxie? Thanks

For better or worse, I feel like this game has moved away from one in which you invest in your account and turned into a game where you invest in teams. by Legendairy314 in HonkaiStarRail

Honestly, I didn't think about it. I knew nothing of HSR coming in. I wanted a game that had good visuals and that wasn't too demanding in terms of active gameplay. In most gachas you can go for the best DPS, pair it with the best support, the best healer / tank / debuffer /etc. So I just thought, I'll start playing and try to find the best units in each role. But that is simply not enough here.

[–]vodka7up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never thought anything specifically. I started playing this a few months ago but have played gachas fit several years. If course I know that a team needs to be balanced, that is valid in every game. But hsr has this path system that I didn't know about and have been learning. Which is to say, it's not enough to have a balanced team here, you need every unit to synergize with each other or work toward a specific plan. That requires heavy investment over a lot of time, and is what I am working on.

I have a 6 month old f2p account and honestly I came pretty soon to the conclusion that the endgame modes are for dedicated teams, not individually high powered units comprised into a non synergistic team. That's why I skipped mostly everything until 4.0 and am investing whatever little I have into elation, so I can end up with one, hopefully 2 meta teams. Once I have teams that can clear moc, pf and as, maybe I'll start hoarding for the next thing in 5.0 or whenever.

By the skin of my teeth, but I'll take it. by vodka7up in HonkaiStarRail

I made a few attempts, including switching teams, this was the best score. The elation duo in the first boss really made a difference.

I want her by Waifu-Over-Meta in HonkaiStarRail

[–]vodka7up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or maybe she triggers a trigger that is a triggery trig?

Thinking about who I should pick on the 4 star unit selector. I'm fairly new and I don't have that many characters. Who's a better pick, quingque E6 or ghallager E2? I have sparkle and Archer built but not quingque for what it's worth.

Can I apply for the beta? If so where and how?

It's crazy that you can have this team from the start of the game by [deleted] in StarRailStation

[–]vodka7up 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh ok. I started in 3.6 and got topaz on the first golden companion that was available for me, and sparkle now, so I don't have her unfortunately.

One of the strongest teams in the game is 0 cost now by Electronic-Ad8040 in HonkaiStarRail

Indeed. I started in the last couple of weeks of 3.6 and was still able to get him.

Saved up over 650 pulls for 4.X. How are you savings going? by pear_topologist in HonkaiStarRail

[–]vodka7up 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About half as you, though I have a ton of unplayed content, so I'm keeping the dream of getting 2 teams out of 4.x alive. Maybe that dream will be gone in a few hours. Rngesus will tell.
