Lurker > Leanaunfurled

I wasn't sure how to feel about pulling Clara at first, didn't know her at all, but damn she is good. Or rather the badass robot companion is good, w/e. Especially fun to watch against larger groups lol.

Books get a lot better once you're higher adventure level and leylines can give around 20 a day, and I just do that on days I'm not building characters. So by the time I have some units to build, like my freeze team, I didn't have to stress over the books.

But LOL. I just finished today's event and this might be my favorite one yet, even over the first fungus one. It was just pure chaotic fun and I lost count of how many times I was legitimately laughing. Mini-games are good, too.

I probably won't get him at all. The dream is to roll 1-3 times, I'll stop as soon as I get Kaveh.

The days feel slower the closer we get to Kaveh and Baizhu. Kaveh, wait for me please!!!!!!!

Some more upcoming banner leaks. Still a grain of salt but with the game being new and some characters having kits that just aren't out yet, I feel it'll still give a rough idea of what to expect and who you want to save for. Each update lasts 6 weeks, and they're split into phase 1 and phase 2 with each phase having its own 5* banner. As we get more characters, that'll change to have two banners in each phase.

1.1 - Luocha & Silver Wolf
1.2 - Kafka & Blade
1.3 - Dan Heng & Fu Xuan

I ended up getting Clara. Didn't expect to replace my cute MC so soon

I haven't gotten a 5* yet either, only been using the standard tickets as I get them. About to play some more though.

Alright got my friends mechanic up, and added Calwings. My name is Tesh!

I'll share my code and add you guys in a bit, I don't think I have it unlocked yet lol. Just got to the train and turned it off for the night.

HSRGRANDOPEN1
HSRGRANDOPEN2
HSRGRANDOPEN3

Are some codes once you guys get going. And yeah, no way am I rerolling in this lol. Absolute pain. So far the characters are cool though. And I understand the Kafka simping now. <3

I only have 4 so far. One is my main favorite, one anemo with my Scara, one is my new freeze team, the last isn't actually built, I just know Yanfei will be main dps as I find her really fun.

How do people have so many rolls saved up? Just by not rolling... at all for months on end?

Yeah, pretty much lol. I feel like I have plenty of characters. I have 3 teams, though only one is my main/preferred one (Childe <3) and so many 4* units are great. It's been pretty easy to just pick an upcoming character months from now that pulls at my heart and just wait.

This site seems promising so far

A few that are rumored to come in 1.1 and 1.2 are Luocha, Silver Wolf, and Kafka. Those updates are still a while out though so those leaks aren't necessarily accurate, though those units are ones that were in betas so they should be out soon, regardless.

I'll just pull on the starter banner and then save the rest for Luocha, who should be in one or two of the next updates. I'm a fan of his Japanese VA and he's a 5* healer so I figure he'll be really useful, anyway.

I'm gonna give it a go at least. Will see how well.it actually plays on mobile as any youtuber I've looked up has played the beta on PC

I'll be playing on mobile, too. :) I'm sure it'll play fine this time (comparing it to Genshin) with the no jumping and turn-based combat.

I haven't followed this topic at all, apologies. Anyone else gonna be playing Star Rail when it launches tomorrow night?

Lynette also looks like a 4*. RIP 5*. RIP them being a two-in-one character.

Look forward to all the Souls fanboys playing it and then complaining it's not a Souls-like.

I'd personally go for Ganyu as she's pretty strong. But if your personal preference prefers one over the other then I'd always go that.

I see it as a positive. Because then it has the kind of meaning each individual wants it to have. Isn't that a beautiful thing?

Did I seriously just get modded for the Dottore eliminating Aranara comment?

This is a bruh moment for who marked and modded you

Eh, I'm not sure it's abuse, but tbh I wouldn't be comfortable with someone I know doing that. It's still messed up to intentionally press a cat's buttons for fun and I wouldn't dream of doing that to mine.

Natlan is probably the nation I'm most interested in because we've never met a character/npc in-game that's from there

It is really mysterious. It's fun seeing occasional NPCs from Fontaine, like Julien. His little quest line was nice. I just wish they'd give the NPCs different clothing to wear, they're all wearing the same Fontaine red shirt and black vest and all that. The fashion scene there must be dire.

The only mistake was that Sumeru wasnt completely nuked into a desert when they had the chance.

I wonder if we'll see more of both the desert and jungle climates in Natlan. If it's accurate that the region will be based on South America.

Grats, TC!!

Nah gotta live life on the edge

^5 Just like me fr fr

I liked the drum stuff >_>

I vote for Rune Factory 4. Simple, addicting as hell, easy to pick up and stop if you get busy, and TONS of content, and no time pressure.

averagejoel posted...

yeah this whole arc has really picked up the pace

It has, it feels like good timing for me becoming a weekly reader.

Idk what my man Aokiji is doing but I still love him

Why would you even take a baby to a movie like that? wtf

I'm kind of jealous of you playing these for the first time. The only one I have left to play (of the main series) is VI.

Kind of crazy how much was packed into less than 20 pages this time around. Aokiji, BB crew, GARP, and Bepo being the MVP.

Speaking of Bepo, I recently finally watched Film: Red and he had the best comedic moments in that movie, too. I love that little guy.

anyone else rolling for baizhu or kaveh in a couple of weeks?

I'm rolling for Kaveh. I'm so excited for him <3 I'd like to get Baizhu too but if Kaveh comes early I'll stop.

Nice grats!

At my new Genshin point of trying to build alternate teams, I wouldn't mind getting some decent weapons from Standard now instead of characters. Though I'm still not weapon-thirsty enough to pull on actual weapon banners.

Xenogears first? Arent there multiple in that series as well?

Nah. Xenogears is separate from Blade 1-3, as is Xenosaga and Xenoblade X. They just like to reuse some things between games but they're not connected.

Use whatever humor is yours, to a reasonable degree. If they don't gel with it and get upset/annoyed, take the very simple hint that your personalities don't match and move on.

You just play them in order, they're related to each other, especially 3 involving both 1 & 2. Story DLCs are relevant, rest are up to you.

Great game imo. Combat was easy but still had fun collecting and digivolving them and the true route was actually worth doing in that the differences were pretty substantial. I loved the cast a lot.

I see, thank you. I'm leaning towards cryo Kaeya, too. Also seems better since he'd also have that crazy crit % from the Strayer set.

meralonne posted...

Amusingly, my fisticuffs team is essentially a freeze team, which consisted of Heizou, Layla, Xingqiu and flex, which may turn into Faruzan since I recently pulled her.

I miss Heizou a bit, he got replaced when I finally pulled Sucrose. He's really fun.

TwoDoorPC posted...

no ayaka?

No Ayaka. My current cryo options are Chongyun, Diona, Kaeya, Layla, Mika, Qiqi, and Shenhe. I'll be chasing Kaveh and Kirara but if they don't hit my funds too hard, I'm thinking of going for Eula when she appears.

Okay so I'm trying to put some kind of effort into making a freeze team here since I'm still all excited over getting Shenhe and she has no place in my Childe party.

Thinking of main DPS Kaeya/Chongyun/Shenhe/Xingqiu but with Kaeya is he better phys or cryo? I'm seeing different results Googling around.

Speaking of ED, this is hella cute and the song is an ear worm. By Inori Minase, even.

I just finished ep 2, this show is so nice. I adore the ED.

Some of the leaks did say underwater exploration will be a thing. I think it was during the giant leak tsunami a while back.

meralonne posted...

Oh, and Cryo catalyst user when? lol

I still found it hilarious when people found out Mika wasn't catalyst. That was a big troll move.

Jeff_AKA_Snoopy posted...

I've been hearing so much praise for that show I am just expecting to be disappointed

The hype after episode 1 has been off the charts, I'm fully expecting some complaints about it being overhyped and dull once it gets going.

3.7 looks like it's bringing in a create-your-own-domain event? That's wild.

Absolutely love the new content this patch has brought. Loved that its a desert area that actually feels unique compared to the previous two

Same! I wrapped it all up just now I think. I love this patch's new area. And we're probably getting more Sorush gadget fun times with that upcoming event, too. Though I still think it's unfortunate newer players are apparently completely out of luck. :/

When I die, I hope heaven is where Kirara really exists.
