Alright fine I'll admit it. I have this annoying rule that I don't quit games til I've given it my due diligence.

I think Star Rails is an above average JRPG that kinda copies a E7 a lot once you get to the late game.

Turns out there really is no incentive to not run speed boots. Really gave me serious trauma from playing E7. Before that point, spend all your stam on the class specific upgrade mats and enough of the element mats. If you feel like you're done, just spend the rest of your stam on exp for each of the upgrade categories until you get to lvl 40, in which you need to spend every single stam on equipments 90% of the time. It only takes like a day or two to get the mats to fully upgrade the relevant relics. I'm not there yet but just by looking at how the game is progressing, I can easily see that this is the only way to play the game in the future.

That's probably why people are even spending a bit to get to lvl 40 asap. I think it's ok to take it slow

Also if you ever pull the knight guy, just stack def on him. There is no content where he's gonna die first. He has a revive, so why even stack hp/dmg reduc on him? Just stack def and maximize his shields. Almost every random main stat on a random main stat equipment can run def %. Flat def is fucking garbage, but they at least had the decency to not allow flat stat on main stat in exchange for having 1 more armor piece with a random stat. I genuinely can't tell if this is better than what E7 did

Dmg Boost however is op. It's better than attack mathematically, but I believe crit rate/crit dmg is better once you have Bronya, who I pulled on my 90th stack.

Bronya should not run any crit rate. She's 100% crit rate fixed on her auto attack, her only source of dmg, so yeah. She need to run max Crit Dmg on her hands. I forget if Crit Dmg exist elsewhere. It might in the sphere/rope thingy.

I think the best 4* has to just be Natasha. She's not great for progression. For physical, just use the MC. They have aoe/single target at a decent burst, and even if you have a green sphere that gives phys boost, just up that shit to +12 and that'll be plenty of dmg for speeding up progression. If you let your enemies attack you in mob battles, you just don't have enough dmg or you're in that awkward space between the equilibrium lvl. Natasha will trivialize every other content. This current banner is ideal for maxing Natasha's dupe lvl shit. Once she maxes her dupes, she's flat out one of the best units in the game, if you don't need an extra AOE dmg that is. For bosses, she does insane single target damage and essentially provides infinite healing. A good HP based build and speed boots will basically guarantee that every unit who don't get one shot will live.

Herta is op in the roguelike mode, pretty bad in other content. Ppl are calling her the worst unit but I don't think she's that bad. The roguelike mode is one of the harder content and she's great in it so who cares

Give your supporter/tanks break chances unless they prefer def%. If you don't have the ice tank guy, the MC gets a tank class alt. It's not as good of a team protector as the knight guy, but the class is the 2nd best tank in the game. Taunt sucks but it's good enough for now. Without taunt, tanks are kinda ass at protecting your team. They'll always be the last one to die, so unless you really benefit from def%, it's actually better to give them stuff like break%. Because tanks are already tanky enough atm, speed boots is almost always gonna be better.

It's just E7 all over again. Luckily getting hit also fills your specials, but tanks will almost always outlive your party. Every fucking difficult enemy random targets (as far as I can tell, unaffected by tank guy's targeting passives) or AOEs. So not having speed boots isn't the worst, but if you had equal sub stats on 2 boots and one had speed, I will take it almost every time. It doesn't help that the roguelike mode equipments only have extra benefit from having specific speed. Almost like they're blatantly telling you straight up, just use the fucking speed boots. Everything else is trash. Pretty difficult to get their speed threshold from just substats til you get to lvl 40

Also Seele is just Cidd without def break lmao
