Board 8 > Honkai Star Rail Topic 5: Gotta Warp 'Em All

(+) Yeah! (+)

...I just learned today that buff removal like Pela's E works on special boss mechanics like the Sanctus Medicus guy's HP regen and Performance Points.

This would have saved me so many god damn headaches. What have I been doing???

lol. Yes, both Pela and Luocha can do that.

First time. God it was that easy. To think all it took was actually knowing how the game works. And uh, pulling Huohuo.

She very easily solo sustains while clearing every debuff, and that's with her traces at 6, LC at 70/70, and most relics at 12.

Edit: Actually I guess I can't call it truly solo on 10 because I was using Welt who does slow and imprison enemies, which helps.

Welt is like....I mean that still counts as a solo. Welt is like 10% Sustain in his blood.

He feels like a godsend specifically against the swarm boss where he can break a bunch of bugs, but yeah point taken.

They're already putting out fuckin' Light Cone shorts or whatever the equivilant is, this can't be that far away.

Going to predict a trailer with a date at TGAs.

It would be nice if there was a simultaneous console release so I didnt have to wait an extra 6 months like I did with Honkai, but Im not holding my breath.

Nothing like going through the first combat domain of a SU run and not getting a single blessing of your chosen path.

Ok game.

I just reset at room 2 when that happens.

Game made up for it by giving me the Ruan Mei occurrence in the next run.

Speaking of SU we're getting double planars later this week so save your tokens

Excellent, now I can double not get an ice orb for Jingliu.

Same, but with a fire orb that has good stats for Topaz

Give me Rutilant

Well my 5* popped on the standard banner and it was Himeko (yay). I guess I'm at least already in the process of farming relics she can use!

I probably end up picking Clara over Bronya for my free 5* then, since with Hanya and Ruan Mei on the way, I need to farm for 3 Harmony characters like I need a hole in my head.

The follow-up domain is killing me with these awful drops. Considering going to the next equilibrium (5 I think?) or whatever

It won't help the terrible relic RNG, but you might as well anyways

I got to EQ5 now and got Jingliu and Huohuo to 80. I think everyone else will uust be ascended without leveling tho. Like I did the new difficulty of Phantylia, Deer, and Yanqing and the others still tanked them just fine being 70.

Need.

ZZZ has some great looking character designs. Robot Deadpool, Gangster Bear, Shark Maid. Looking forward to it

I should just live in the Harmony domain for a bit.

2.0 is supposedly also going to have a Harmony 5* so I really can't have enough.

TB59

So close.

Absolutely loving this new event where you get double planar ornaments and they're all HP% ropes.

Hey I maybe got something of value today possibly. Id have to check to be sure/see what others think

https://twitter.com/majiritore/status/1727949401711362215?s=19

I dunno seems like an improvement to me.

I though the excessive bouncy physics were actually super lame when I first saw this character.

Wouldnt summon for her anyways. She got nothing on Shark Maid or even the Soldier girl

Clearly she just picked up a better bra.

I think she's the freebie?

Eww for freebie too imo. Give me Anby

Is this the thread where folks are talking about ZZZ? I got into the beta and this is my first time playing any sort of mobage since FGO (no prior Hoyo experience) so this level of production quality is certainly new to me!

Honestly not sure how I feel about the game beyond the polish, though. Combat feels pretty mashy and simplistic, and I'd say I guess it kinda has to be for the sake of phone players but then I do know there's an actual DMC mobile game with legit combos so I don't know if that's really true.

Also already a big scared off by the community since when I went to see what other folks think about the game's mechanics all I saw was 90% of the discourse dominated by that Nicole censorship stuff. The original animation seems extremely cringey to me so count me in the camp that's glad it changed!

Standard ticket gave me E5 Guinaifen. Cant believe Im almost at E6 with her and E0 still for March :(

Damn maybe I should have lied on the survey and said I've never played a hoyo game before instead of telling them I'm max player rank on Genshin and Star Rail. Cause it's been crickets for me

As for ZZZ for the characters theyve shown so far my want list is Soukaku, Grace, Ellen, Soldier 11, Anby, Nekomiya, Billy & Ben. Hope it doesnt take too long to come out. Still gotta grind these damn relics for worthwhile stuff in Star Rail

It seems a majority of the shown characters have been A Rank (4*) so there's probably a lot more to come even at launch.

Kafka update. Got her speed to 146, which gets her exactly 160 speed all on her own once she gets her LC stacks, giving me the max effect from the new Relic (+12% Attack and +18% Damage).

Of course I wish I had better pieces for the new relic, but at least I have the right ones!

Ok so you can wait for weekly reset to get 4 more SU tokens for the double up event.?And not spend any resin.

The event lasts a week, so yeah you can use next weeks tokens, but thatll only cover 4 of the 12 double runs.

So getting all these Broken Keel pieces while farming Rutilant. Who is it good on? Preservation? Pela?

It's generally good on supports, basically units that you wouldn't mind having Effect Res on anyway. Bear in mind that it doesn't synergise with Kafka teams though as DoTs don't scale with crit.

Broken Keel is always good on a support unit, I would say to consider it a raw upgrade to Fleet of the Ageless in most situations. Asta would be the exception there a lot of the time I think, though I put Vonwac on her anyways.

Even Fu Xuan would prefer Keel as long as you can reach that desired 8k HP through other means.

I think most supports and sustains you'd want in a DoT team are going to want one of the energy regen sets rather than Fleet or Keel...Fleet stock has definitely dropped.

Been going through the event and Guinaifen just gets cuter. Wasnt this supposed to be a Huohuo event? I feel like Lil Gui stole the spotlight

Got a Crit Rate body piece for Topaz that also had SPD and Crit DMG on it, but at least two rolls went into Effect RES. Still better than any body piece I have for her sadly

that sounds good to me

all these screenshots of good relics are just mythology

Keel is Bronya's BiS planar if you have her.

The new energy set idk how good it actually is - it only really matters if 5% ERR is enough for the unit to ult a turn faster, which you'd have to find calcs for to find your specific threshold. Or if you're doing mono element, or at least matching to your DPS element. It's useless otherwise.

For example, Pela consistently ults in two turns with Tutorial. Asta with Cogs S5 also has full uptime on her ult by spamming skill. The ERR sets are useless on them.

Without a Sphere or Rope shes at 115 SPD, 108.9% Crit DMG and 52.1% Crit Rate with 1,825 Attack. Not sure how good or bad that is

I'd rather have the Luka LC on Pela with the Energy Regen set than give her Tutorial.

Most of the other character's who want energy Regen sets though...I feel like they benefit more from Vonwacq and the guaranteed first turn?

Pela and Asta are the best candidates for the new energy Planars if you don't want to use LCs with built in energy Regen already, since they both already have parts of their kit designed to boost mono element teams, but again with Asta I'd rather have Vonwacq.

Currently running Slonya so def not for me. If I can get together a 161 Speed set for her then I'll get on it.

Without a Sphere or Rope at all? Pretty solid to start. You already have your requirement for Solsotto, though you of course want to get all the Crit numbers as high as you can.

Topaz definitely wants an Attack rope instead of an Energy Regen rope. Obviously Fire Damage Orb.

Yep, those slots are currently blank on her til I find something worthwhile
