Board 8 > Honkai Star Rail 2: Silver Wolf Edition

(+) Yeah! (+)

The trace requirement for cones doesn't seem to be nearly as bad for the ones for characters so I'm not too worried about that. I'm more worried that I don't have enough weapon exp cans because I kinda neglected them in favor of character books.

I am about 1000 account XP away from 60 so I should be hitting that today or tomorrow, and then I'll probably burn a lot of fuel doing traces. So I'll find out!

Welp, I tried a 60 stamina trace run on the new tier and got 7 green, 6 blue, and 0 purple. Which is 100% something that the previous tier could've given. Hopefully I just got unlucky, and that's on the low end? Lemme know what you see

Double rewards from SU starts tomorrow.

.....Really wish I had reached 60 in time to take better advantage of it.

That's nice and I'm sure you're a baller unit, but you ain't gettin' my gems.

Definitely gonna get some of my gems so I can get Yukong.

But you get a free Yukong!

When?

I assume alongside the actual banner. She's unlocked through the Forgotten Hall stuff just like that free Qinque.

The free Yukong comes in the 1.2 update.

not soon enough

Free yukong waiting room

Twice a day for the double Planar rewards. That will still require fuel!

I actually think I may take advantage of this to try and get the few gold planar I need that are more niche. I am usually spamming world 3 to get gold attack planners for specific element damage boosts there, but I do need gold effect rate planars for Silver Wolf.

I dont even have Planar for an SU reward yet! Ah well Im still working on catching up

Oh it's how many you turn in, not how many runs you do. Obvious in retrospect.

Running SU prior to unlocking planars doesn't cost any energy, so this would be easy to clean up!

I'm sticking with World 3. Surely a 5* ERR% Ageless rope will drop one day. (Not today, though!)

Now that I have a ton of gold Relics, I'm doing a hard review of my effects.

.....Bronya, who has a 100% crit rate for her only attack, is smothered in Crit% Up.

Review your Relics people, don't trust the auto equip!

Finally I'll get a Sampo lol. And the new 4* Luka to boot!

Hoping I get Kafka early because otherwise nothing else I want out of those two banners.

I've never even tried to use Sushang and Arlan, outside of the forced story Sushang part, but I didn't get a feel for what she does at all.

Sushang is great if you have E1, and I love her voice

Video of what the Forgotten Hall stages to unlock Yukong leaked. Not interesting to look at since it's just them going through the menus....but all the enemies at level 88. Hopefully that's just a placeholder.

I beat SU World 3 at lv40 when it recommended 45. I did apparently take a long time to beat some enemies since I got a 100 actions in a battle achievement or something. The boss of World 3 wasnt very hard though

Reaaaaally feeling like I wanna level some of these unused characters now like Pela, Asta, and Sushang for single target damage..probably not a good idea at TB59, though.

My party for SU World 3 was likely too slow for what the game wants you to have for a party. Physical Stella, March, Tingyun & Nat.

I'm at TB59 and I realized I have 50 of the stamina replenishing items, so I'm spending today grinding Stagnant Shadows to have the mats to bump everyone up past level 70 in the hopes that it gives me enough TB XP to reach 60.

Trying to convince myself not to just feed all the 3* light cones into experience. It was fun setting them all up for completions sake, but they really do serve no purpose and take up a lot of space on the LC screen...

I got them all to level 5 so that they're easier to distinguish from the others by eye

Sorry, that's what I actually mean, I did that work too.

But even at level 5 it's still like.....not really worth it.

But, well, who knows, maybe there will be a specific character build for a unit down the line who benefits greatly from one of these 3* cones.

Last time I finished a battlepass with a few days left.

This time..........

I'm gonna feel the lack of regular experience infusions....

no i know! i mean not only superimposed to 5 but also leveled to 5 via EXP rather than leaving them at 1. it helps... a little. i've had the same thought about clutter too, but then i look at my relics which will always be cluttered and shrug.

My Relics are no longer cluttered because I'm just junking all the 3* and 4*s now.

Have gotten Welt, Seele, and Stelle to 80, and that 4* light cone with baby Bronya and Gepard on it as well.

Resources are DRAINING.

Well, lost the Silver Wolf 50/50 with a day to spare so I guess I'm gonna get Kafka!

Got Clara instead which. I was complaining about not having a use for her Light Cone I pulled so ok! I'll take that W.

Goodbye Trailblazer, hopefully you become useful to me again when you get your next path.

Clara is great with the right team comp, can really mess up her flow if not, though. You don't want other aggro drawers and you don't wanna slow the enemy.

Instinct says to build defense but you REALLLLLLY want Energy Regen instead, followed by crit rate and attack (or phys dmg if possible). Near 100% Ult uptime is the goal.

You want to build her mainly for offense actually, under the assumption that you have other characters to give her sustain like March.

All that stuff is in favor of offense!

Really you just don't want to get trapped into building defence.

Well, "trapped", it's not like you can easily pivot.

Wouldn't mind trying to get Yukong early I guess...but I'm at 40 pulls from the Dan Heng grind, feels like I can't risk that.

Is nobody considering Luocha? I guess that's shared with Yukong, but I know I can't do these Memory of Chaos things without another good healer.

But I still haven't hit Trailblaze 60 quite yet, so I know some of you are ahead.

I already have Welt and I know I'll pull for Screwllum which gets me 2 Imaginary 5*s on the books. It's less not wanting Luchoa and more that I AM going to pull for Kafka, like so many others, and she's 6 weeks away.

Objectively he seems like a great unit.

But you should not be worrying about Memories of Chaos right now. I can do about 5 of them at the moment. You can get by pretty decently with Fire Trailblazer if you put them on the team that doesn't have Natasha.

I don't have Welt so I don't have Imaginary at all yet. I generally pull with some caution, as a F2P player, and waiting another 6 weeks to pull seems like too much. I lucked out fairly early with Silver Wolf.

I feel like the unit nobody is talking about is Blade.

Won't be surprised if his banner is the least pulled on.

But he does seem like the most Genshin Impact character yet, so maybe I'm off base.

Isnt Blade on Kafkas banner? Shes probably gonna make the most money

Naw, they're the two 5* banners next patch. There's a new Luka guy on Kafka's though.

I'll be pulling on Luocha today! Mostly hoping to get my spirit animal Qingque from E4 to E6, and I don't mind Pela eidolons either. I'm cool with Luocha showing up, since I don't even have enough pulls for soft pity, so he'd have to be early. His voice does kinda annoy me, but I can get past that. Still not really interested in Blade or Kafka (or Yukong, honestly).

Ohh oops. I definitely confused Luka with Blade haha. Im just saving for Kafka over here and Topaz after that. Anything I get free (like Yukong) in the meantime will have to do. I still havent explored the area after Jarilo yet or unlocked one of the weekly things (shadow of war or something I think)

I was thinking of building March for her aggro generation but I'm thinking of how long it'll take me to build TWO more characters instead of one and dying a little on the inside

10000%. I got Welt and Dan Heng E6 ("the slow boys") when I spent too much on the SW banner, and both are still totally unbuilt because how will I ever have the resources

Got Qingque on each of my first two 10 pulls, so she's at E6 now and I'm stopping. Maybe none of us will get Luocha =)

Trial Missions really made me want to use Pela and Qinque, so I guess they did their jobs. Thankfully I already have them, didn't make me excited enough for Yukong to risk it.

It did however make Luocha super appealing which I'll just have to deal with lol. Dude DOES seem like he's made of paper, though, almost died in a single hit. May just be how he's built for the trial?

Well, that's all I've got and basically nothing to show for it but E4 Quinque.
