3.0 looking pretty good

I still gotta go through the Rappa? story update and 2 events or whatever her name was. I got 10 days I think so should be doable

Well on the bright side, Preservation won't have the least characters in it for a little bit anymore!

Relic substat customization is gonna be nice. I look forward to getting one mat every year for that.

Also all the 3.x characters look great. Should be a fun couple patches.

So do we know what Aglaea does or what teams she will wanna be on?

Not really, we havent got many leaks on her. We know shes summon-based but thats kinda it.

Are those a bunch of character leaks? Im not gonna get hype because some of the batches of characters we saw seemingly just existed to die offscreen >_>

Almost all these are confirmed to be banner characters over the next 3 patches.

3.1 should be Tribbie and Mydei, 3.2 should be Castorice and Anaxa.

Well based on what little we can see here Im feeling like I want Aglaea and maybe the cat hoodie girl.

It's not leaks if it's in the official presentation lol.

The only thing that would be leaks if which might be 4* vs 5* which I haven't looked into yet.

Oh, didnt realize there was one of those today. Im so out of touch with Star Rail now compared to Genshin and ZZZ

As for my own pull expectations, it's still the usual. Pull the girls, wait and see on the guys, don't pull the small character models for either because

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/6/6f00014e.jpg

Mydei is literally just Gilgamesh from Fate

It does look like some of them have the Command Spell from Fate

Oh yeah I need to remember that at some point in time Archer is gonna be here. He definitely fits aesthetically!

....Though Artoria would also fit. Maybe she'll still play a roll. Guess it depends how in depth the collab is.

God I hope he's not a throwaway 4* lol.

Oh right

Most important banner for 2.7

Finally picking up the JY LC for Himeko lol

Amphoreus looks neat.

Fugue is literally perfect.

Relic substats customization feels like it will be a huge improvement even if we hardly get any of the necessary material.

Getting back into the plot after quite a break. Guess we going to school now? Uh these monkeys are unsettling as hell face wise and I met Rappa the Rapper

All this banana dialogue is driving me nuts

Ba na na na~

I think Im a part or 2 away from the end of this monkey business. Please no more Penacony til 2027 lol

Ok all caught up with the main plot again. Rappa was decent, but none of the other new faces did anything for me. Now I can focus on the event and whatever SU/PF stuff I havent worked on lately too

Unknowable Domain gameplay gets old quickly, but the story kicks ass

Rumors about banner changes coming in 3.0. Apparently both new characters will start at Day 1 and will run the entire length of the patch. The reruns will start halfway through the patch.

ZZZ and Genshin are allegedly doing the same thing

........Hmmmmm not sure how I feel about that.

Certainly makes for more immediate shakeups teamwise if you want both!

Theoretically it doesn't really mess up the saving situation for people? With very rare exceptions, the events that give the most pull currency are always frontloaded in the first half of the patch anyways. Also makes it so it's less jarring if a patch only has a new 5*.

The drama is going to be if they ever put a new 4* in the back half of a patch, lol.

Edit: Oh, wait, I misunderstood, the new characters would last 6 weeks then? Objectively a good change in that case.

Done with the music event. Gotta do the Boothill one now, but I should finish with plenty of time

Oh shit this one is like sending people out for stuff. I hope I still have time for all 24 then. If not oops my own fault

It's not a super noteable amount of materials, if not. Events like that are intended for new players more than anything.

They're only 4 hours long anyway. You can probably knock out a bunch in one day if you remember to login.

I did it with plenty to spare! Now I play the waiting game for banners

Daily mission leaving in 3.0, forgot they were in the game lol. However those missions seem to be getting one off sequel missions, so maybe I'll cycle through them again to refresh my memory.

Also in 2.7 you'll be able to drag your party around to reposition them on the squad screen.

Got 2 stars on MoC 11 and 1 on 12. Enemies just feel like they have millions of HP

I used Yunli against Aventurine and it went a lot better than usual.

I'm told the MoC stages were even nerfed from the early access server or whatever it's called, but yeah the HP inflation is a sure something.

I was able to get 3 stars on both. Actually had more trouble stage 11, but that's probably because I was trying to do the stage with some of my old DPS units. Shocking how bad Jingliu feels nowadays even with giving her a full new flashy relic set from the new Cavern. Qingque still got what it takes apparently, but barely. Used Rappa and Feixiao for stage 12 and wouldn't you believe it I had a much easier time. Though even there it wasn't like a commanding performance--probably one of the harder MoC's so far.

The Aventurine boss fight is of course still annoying as all hell on any time-based mode.

Really feel like Jingliu/Blade synergy is her key and without that there's just something missing. Obviously she can be incredible in SU with Erudition buffs, but everywhere else there's just....something.

She'll get a boost from Sunday havers I suppose, as a Tingyun replacement.

I really don't want to just give all her relics to The Herta!

Pretty shocking indirect story spoilers for 2.7 seem to have leaked into the Chinese Hoyolab, so a heads up to avoid that or it's true!

I just wasnt doing enough damage. Dunno if I was running too much support or what. I think I used Yunli/Lingsha/March/Stelle or something for one half of 11 or 12 and the other was Topaz/Lynx/Ruan/I forget

Cant do stage 4 of PF this time. Whether I use Lynx or Lingsha the DoT kills me since I cant cleanse it fast enough. Those robots suck ass as enemies

Yeah I tried Stage 11 with Jingliu and the first wave was ok! Then I saw how little she did to True Sting and meh. So switched to Feixiao/March and 1 cycled it lmao.

I like Jingliu, but unfortunately her drop-off is just the reality for a character who's current best team is the same now as it was when she was first released over a year ago. The only indirect buffing she's had are from new gear sets.

She's an odd character because what type of support do you release to make her better, really? I don't have any don't intend to get Blade, so she's always been in a nebulous place for me.

Maybe that buff 3.x dude who supposedly also works off of an HP draining supposedly will be her new Dual DPS partner.

Haven't played in a while and decided to log in for the monthly pulls and daily logins but didn't realize patch was next week
