Can't you manually do it in account settings?

But yeah chapter 6 def hits hard. Especially with the music.

Apparently not, that's the old system and they're migrating to a new system. This reddit post goes over the new process and even explicitly points it out.

https://old.reddit.com/r/arknights/comments/1jthuhk/if_youre_still_confused_about_the_yostar_account/

I think there will be ways to recover old accounts (best to have the various IDs and visual screenshots to prove it for contacting customer support) since I've heard they're not outright deleting old unbound accounts immediately but still.

It's super dumb that's the only way you can bind them. I'd have just done it manually on Sunday if you could do it from the settings (I've got the Yostar account itself ready to go) but that's not how this is done apparently.

Darknights Memoir was released right before chapter 7 so that's the intended place to read it.

For the Yostar thing, have you tried login in to your account?

https://account.yo-star.com/login

I logged in through that link to bind my Heaven Burns Red account, I bound my Arknights one a while ago. It also lets me bind an Azur Lane account for some reason.

For my own progress in HBR, I've just been slowly going through the main story, I'm up to part 2 day 12 now.

Yeah I made one on Sunday via the PC, the problem I've run in to is that there's no way to manually bind the Arknights account to it outside the popup that occurs on login, so I've got a Yostar account but it's still not bound to Arknights yet.

I hit "remind me in 7 days" roughly a week back like I had been doing for a while not realizing that they require old accounts to be bound going forward so now I'm stuck basically praying I'm not remembering wrong and the next time it turns up is some time between now and reset in about ten hours.

There's basically 0 incentive to go hard and fast with HBR. You don't even need a team to do the Angel Beats collab later on, though obviously you need gems. Whew boy... I do feel like you'll have a hard time not seeing what's beyond ch 2 though

Darknights Memoir fully read with about 22 minutes left until possible doom for my account. If the account does go pop it'll be a while till I hit up chapter 7 for obvious reasons, but that'll just be something I look forward to alongside Lappland's arrival.

I wonder if I'll pick Thorns a second time for my six star. The FrostNova fight really exposed his problems and I suspect going forward he's going to be cumbersome to use properly.

Are you using him properly?

S3 (Ideally m3 it) and get him his module and he still absolutely destroys so many things. Often might need a defender infront of him or someone to tank until he activates his skill a second time as becomes permanent then. Even without his module and m3'd he can still handle things if properly taken care of.

He might not be as busted as the top meta like Walter etc but he is still incredibly strong and an invaluable lane holder with his self healing as well.

I practically use him everywhere still, even with the various meta units in my roster. He's just that good still.

Yeah, Thorns module helps him so much. While he isn't the top choice anymore, as long as he can hit enemies to charge up(Or you bring Stainless) he should do fine in most content.

I'm still considering rolling for the new Siege, I was hoping she'd get an alter everytime we got a new episode of the Victoria arc so skipping her now just feels weird, even if I know I'll barely use her. Rolling now would mean risking not getting Yu and Blaze Alter in the future though, I'd love to reach that banner with enough pulls for a spark just in case.

Same, but too many units coming up I want that can't risk going for her as well sadly.

So I think the Hololive collab starts today? Tower of God resets at 2 pm Hawaii time, and since some events and items say they expire in about 3 1/2 hours, thats when I assume it starts.

I hoarded the shit out of the special summon tickets and gems to hopefully max out Calli. If I cant do that, Ill be very sad :<

Great news, the reports about the Arknights account purge were greatly exaggerated and I just logged in with zero issues.

And I am greeted by... 170 sanity !!!?! I had seen they were upping the sanity cap in the news but for some reason didn't expect to apply that to myself lol.

For once this timeline's badness was exaggerated and I begin my day pleased. Onward to Lappland! Gonna finish off the Penguin Logistics event today. ^__^

On Thorns, yeah he's good and mine's maxed on everything besides potential (took a looooot of grinding IS3 to get those tier 4 materials to unlock his module lol, not that I mind I ended up really enjoying IS and plan on going back once I have Lappy and Texas), just FrostNova startled me in how irrelevant he ended up being is all. My account in general is lacking in the burst damage "boss killer" department. Probably won't remain a problem once/if I get Lappland and Texas like I'm planning ofc lol.

Damn, theyre giving quite a few tickets for the collab. Like a 10 pull daily just for logging in, then a bunch more for the event. Guess I didnt need to hoard as much currency as I did. Oh well here goes!

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/1/18538f2b.jpg

Well, I spent all I could and got Calli a fair amount of times. I suppose I can wait for those tickets to pour in now :3

Jesus H. Monkeyballs Calli is ridiculous. Ive been stonewalled for a few days now, but after getting her, I was able to just put the game on auto and clear the past 2 chapters (about 100 stages or so). And I can still make progress since I havent fully enhanced and equipped her too; Im just letting my phone take a break since that game heats it up kinda fast :<

So I came back to Honkai Star Rail recently(played it a small amount in 2023), and just got Castorice in 74 pulls/0 pity. Very happy that I won both 50/50s in the gacha's I played this year since I'm F2P.

I wasn't going to ask but Google isn't giving me an answer so I might as well.

With Arknights pity, where you get +2% to the 6* rate every single pull after the 50th until you hit 100% or pull a 6* is that extra percent split evenly between the rateups and the general pool or is it just added to the general pool rate?

So say I'm on pull 60 and the rate for a 6* has gone to 22%. Is that 11% for a rateup (or limited) and 11% for general pool or is it 1% rateup and 21% general pool?

Trying to decide how to play my next two weeks since I need resources if I want to max out both Lappy and Texas and I've got over 185 pulls locked in now for the banner (that goes to over 200 pulls from merit tickets if I need them). If the pity splits evenly I'm going to farm resources, if not then onward to 300 pulls I guess.

The +2% per pull pity rate after 50 rolls only applies to getting a 6* in general, not to which character you get. Once you get a 6*, the rate drops back to normal odds and starts the count over.

If you land on getting a 6* character, there's a "coin flip" involved. For a one banner character, it's a 50% chance of the banner unit and a 50% chance of an off-banner unit. For limited banners, it's 70% for a banner 6*, almost 30% for a random off-banner, and a tiny chance of an old limited 6* from the available pool.

For banners of two characters, assuming you get a banner unit, it then has one more coin flip of which one you'll get, split evenly between how many units there are.

If I am mistaken, someone please correct me.

This is correct, although for the older limiteds, the 3 most recent ones from that limited banner pool have a slight rateup(For the Lappland banner, those would be Virtuosa, Muelsyse and Texas the Omertosa).

Alright thanks for the clarification both of you. So then on average I have likely 5 50% rolls for Lappland locked in (3 if I'm unlucky, 5 on average luck, and 6-7 on above average luck) so I'll likely get her with my current hoard but I'll have to likely spark Texas. Good knowledge to have, I'll spend the next two weeks resource grinding then get Texas from clearing more stages with Lappy.

I should have enough to spark Lap if needed, but I'll probably limit myself to like 100 pulls since I want both new units in the limited banner after Lap.

Yeah the score challenge rec levels are also pretty deceptive since these bosses have a lot of gimmicks that make them much harder. You're also probably on the last day of that ch?

Didn't notice event shops in HBR have S-rank or higher guaranteed gacha tickets so I've been spamming flashback battles to get those(And most mats too). Also taking advantage of that 3x tokens bonus that I think is there for a few days whenever I unlock an event?

That end had me shocked for a few days. I didn't think a gacha game would go through with such a plot point.

Well I mean this isn't the only gacha to do it, but for one with a limited roster that hasn't added a new squad so far (only existing chars previously unrecruitable and the Angel Beats characters were added after release) , it's shocking, though the signs were there.

I recommend doing the Requiem for the Blue side story, though it's essentially a retelling of the last few days of Ch 2 from a different perspective. Some repeats but it explains how some things happened, and it's a great chance for one of the VAs to act her heart out.

Oh, and uhh yeah the mood of HBR can be described as pre-Ch 2 Day 25 and post-Ch 2 Day 25. The writing gets EVEN BETTER, but the harsh training doesn't fully go away sadly.

To make the training or dungeon sections faster, I recommend spending some stam and doing the Summer story with the Tsukasa swimsuit as the banner. That ch must be done post-Ch 2 Day 25 canon-wise. There is also a really cute small reference to that story in Ch 3 that's fairly subtle

Why do that story? Cuz it unlocks the swimsuit Ruka, who has an 8 cost fire AOE move that's incredibly powerful. That shit will solo carry you for a while

If you want to be even better than that, from the side story that starts with "Thou art..." with Yuina on the cover, get the swimsuit Yuki, which is maybe the lewdest art the game has to offer in a generally PG game. I doubt she meant to do it, but Yingxia's side story with her is more hilarious in context of that art. Swimsuit Yuki has an 8 cost fire AOE move that hits DP and has the power of an 11 cost move just randomly. She, along with Ruka, can clear most mobs in 1 turn for the entire Ch 3 and then some, providing you have 8 SP on both.

I finished the Requiem of Blue yesterday, although I'm still grinding it out for the rewards. I'm not sure what I should prioritize in event shops, for the Mari event I just bought everything, while for the one I'm farming now I've only got the gacha currency/tickets and the item that lets me unlock more events. I also haven't touched the Peace of Cradle event yet.

Story wise, yeah, my brain has been working overtime on stuff. I'm sure the turn into Narby thing is a side effect of using the Seraphim. I'm also sure the Commander and Nanamin know, since they mention very early on not to treat the Narbies as pets, just leave them alone. I guess Seika knows too, since she's a Seraphim researcher that's also mentioning from time to time how she wants to experience death. Or maybe she's just that unhinged lol.

Without spoiling anything: You got a potentially good point about Seika that I never thought about lmao. It's an interesting theory all around. Ch 3 will be interesting for you then premise wise

Funny enough, Ch 3 and on, if you go to the place next to the arena during free time, Seika comments that it's completely unnecessary to visit her. She seems to have a new line every other free time, but I haven't checked. They get pretty spicy later

It's because in the original JP release around this time, I think you had to go to her to upgrade your stuff. Since then they streamlined most of that functionality, but global got all of that from release.

Also I don't actually recommend you buy absolutely everything in the event shops

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/f/fd4db07f.png
Finally found this. Since shops are permanent anyways, you can simply save the tokens for later as needed. The upgrade items are less stam efficient even with 3x token I believe, cuz you can just run the highest tier of that flashback battle thing later and just get everything you need in less runs. Doing the afk battle in the Arena is more important for upgrades cuz the rock thingies are rare earlier on.

That sucks. They might not be using music from the anime and other series themes as standard then. Maybe for special events though. But I wonder why. It can't be to save on space right? I know in the PSP ones they cut down on music to save space to fit onto a UMD but that won't be an issue here.

This also means that new series that were added to this game like Gundam Katana might not have an original theme made for the game. G Gen games are really good at giving series without themes brand new original ones so a Katana theme would've been really cool.
