I still do my chores for the primos, but haven't done much exploration or story for the last 3 zones.

ironically their new feature of chests and shit counting for dailies automatically meant I play less, since stories and exploration features are finite, and because mihoyo had the retarded idea they only count for that single day, I "save" story and exploration to the point I hardly do it at all. gg chinks, make people play your game less...
Same, I actually walk by chests or oculi without getting them if my daily commissions are full. At my rate of exploring I'm not likely to run out, but there's a real psychological effect from tying exploration to a daily reward limit that hits a certain type of player.

Usually I take care of my commissions with event progression, and if there's none of that then I just do commissions because they're quick.
 
Trying to get Black Swan (I don't think I need Dan IL bc I have Dr. Ratio for that damage type and I don't like high SP units even with my e6 Hanya. Black Swan's also hot too.).

Honkai's a steady grind. I"ll probably get ratio finished in a week.

As for Genshin, finally got my Nahida. I'm thinking of just slapping sac fragments on her, or fav codex. Then I'll prob just save up and see if I can get a 50/50 win on the Yae banner. Otherwise maybe I'll just save in general. Not sure who I'd want to roll for now aside from Furina. Maybe I'll just wait for Zhongli and Yelan reruns?

bro, your magic guide? you saved enough of those 3* weapons to r5 them, right?

john lee is nice just to cheese domains and everything with, saves me primos and other shit in the long run not having to optimize as much (so the fight takes a minute longer, who cares...). didn't like yae as much in the past, but with dendro she's an easy fire and forget char. also got her weapon, so now I'm biased. pondering to get her c2 just for the extra DMG and range...

the problem is genshin is all about efficiency, how to get the most out of your primos, resin etc.
then suddenly you're supposed to just ignore it and "waste" shit that would also save you time doing commissions.

all migoyo would have to do is make it count at least a week so you can redeem them whenever you need it.

I got Magic guide r5 but I also have a sac frag at r4 and a bunch of fav codexes and widsiths.

Yae's hot but I'll see who's getting leaked for the next banners after this.


I uh, have the Solar Pearl too. Is this worthwhile on Nahida or should I use Widsith r3. I've got the option to do on field nahida. No Zhongli tho.

In Honkai SR, finished the Hanu event to get my final eidolon for Asta. I'm gonna go and see if I can snatch Black Swan. If I somehow don't get her in time, then I'll roll on Sparkle. Ratio provides my ST needs and HImiko's my go to for mobs.


Is it just me or are Pela/SW future-proof right now?

Guinafen seems fun to build. Should I give it a try?

depends on how you use her. off-field, sac frag is probably her best 4* option. if you're using that don't bother with magic guide. you'll also want to stack as much em on her as possible, up to around 1k. if you use her on-field widsith is probably her best 4*.

I usually leave Sac frags on Sucrose, but Nahida's prob seeing way more use so I'll eventually have it on her permanently. Probably slide Fav codex up the list of things to build fully. Or maybe a Mappa Mare?

Anyways, Yun Jin obtained from event because I wanted the collection. Got Gaming from banner.

Thinking of which Claymore user I can build that'd go well with my team options because I wanna make use of the claymores I've picked up and want someone who can comfortably help farm ore without me worrying about them getting smacked by things. Probably gonna be Beidou.

Nahida, Beidou, Kuki Shinobu, and YaoYao are my next projects to raise up over the coming month or so. Kuki/Nahida to 90, Beidou/YY to 80. I'll probably just get myself like at least one usable deepwoods/gilded set for the dendro character and then find some noblesse set that's usable for kuki/beidou.

I'm still farming vv for kazuha/sucrose but it keeps giving me fucking garbage items with all defense stat rolls.

you don't really need sac frags since the skill CD is short enough, you'd only need it for trash and then other dendro chars work just as well if not better.
dunno if the radish can crit without c2, so favonius would be a waste too.
either way you'd only need enough energy regen to burst on CD, and you should be able to hit that even without ER weapon or even ER sands. mappa mare looks good but I'm not sure if nahida would be the one triggering it for the passive (elemental reactions are weird sometimes). that's why lot of people use magic guide since it's basically free and works just as well - although their might be better options if you want to run her on field.

Yae's hot but I'll see who's getting leaked for the next banners after this.
clorinde as electro buffer/enabler, arlecchino as OP overload DPS, chiori as geo buffer (iirc).

as for re-runs, there were some leaks, apparently neuvilette is one of them.

Huh, Magic Guide has like a lot more EM than Mappa Mare. I'll probably use it down the line if i don't get another sac frag.

I'd probably use my sac frags for now since it's level 80. I'll put off building magic guide because my resin goes towards the dendro cube for the meantime.


I'm figuring that I probably should go in on rolling for Yae due to really liking her. After that, it's just save for Furina/Zhongli/Yelan as generally great for my teams, Kokomi/Nilou due to liking them and the viability in my roster, and then consider whether or not I want to save for the Ganyu/Shenhe/Ayaka trio to finish the classic melt freeze team full of waifus (got Mona). I'm honestly not that knowledgeable about the viability of units post Year 1. Baizhu's cool, but I think I'd only go for him if his banner has a 4 star I want copies of like ZXQ or Kuki or YY.

Should I save to get Constellations on my units, like a C2 Hu Tao? Is it needed?

Generally nope they are a trap to deprive you of primos, unless the banner has two weapons you could use and you don't mind if you get either.

While I know artifact farming is the worst thing, I'm still surprised that all I need is a 5* flower from this set and yet after 40 runs none have shown up. I don't even care about the sub-stats, just give me the fucking flower. This is why HSR's artifact crafting system is way better for the casual tard like me that doesn't care about substats.

Guinafen seems fun to build. Should I give it a try?
Unless we get better debuffers, yeah. They'll stay at the top. The only impressions I have of Gui are from trials, but she seems alright. I might build mine also and stick her with Kafka and Sampo.

Most five-stars have a few worthy constelations, and you should check for each character. Hutaos C1 is a must-have. C2 not so much, so C1 is a good dropping point. For example, Nahidas C1 isn't much remarkable, but C2 is strong, which would be her dropping point.
Are the weapon banners worthwhile as a free player?
Weapon banners are a scam, never forget. But it's a manageable scam. I've rarely rolled for 5-star weapons. Good 4-stars could be very useful. Most rolls I did for Xiphos. Now Kadzuha has R3 and Shinobu has R1. And I'll roll for it more. With this you'll reach pity eventually. Be mindfull of how much rolls you've put into it. I was very lucky on a weapon banner, not gonna lie, so there might be some positive bias on my part. Most of the time I got the five star that I wanted, and I got off-banner only once and it was Jade-winged spear, not bad. There's also Aquila Favonia, but I might've got it from normal banner. 5-star weapons are the most valuable for your carries, since there's fuck-all 4-stars with crit. Supports usually have a serviceable alternatives in that regard. One-handed Xiphos, for example, is very solid. My Kadzuha has around 1k EM. So, at R3 it gives him 54%ER. That's almost Favonius Sword worth of ER. Ar R5 it will be more than Favonius + 21%ER to everyone else on the team. And this has no uptime. And this stacks. There's no teams which can utilize it so far, but the option is there. Freedom Sworn gives more EM, but EM past 1k is very insignificant, and has a good offensive buff, but with a downtime and half of it will only be used by your hypercarry, so I don't care for it. Now, some cons: It is properly useable only by two characters in the game, and each time you get an on-banner 4-star it's only 1 in 5 chance that you get this, and that's a major flaw. You have a not so insignificant chance to spend all your gems and get none.
 
So i finally unlocked a 5* on the 300 pity thingy, which one should get and why is it bronya?

I have Himeko, Welt, Gepard, Clara, Yanqing E1 (rip), i dont have bailu nor bronya, but i do have luocha and fuxuan so i dont see myself using bailu over them, but i can see myself using bronya with jinliu and blade.

Also, which one did you guys pick? I guess bronya is the "best" one since she just works well on many scenarios but i think Himeko is really good now with Pure fiction, and clara is solid

From what I've seen in mihoyo design, I'd still pick Bronya because supports are cracked in their games.

But like, I guess it'd be Bronya>Gepard/Welt>Clara>Himeko/Bailiu>YQ.

Personally, I'm picking between Bronya, Gepard, or Welt. Hopefully I'll have at least 2/3 of them. Already have e1 bailiu and e1 himeko as well as a YQ.
 
I've finally stumbled through enough of Sumeru to finish the goddamn dream onion bullshit. Fuck whatever dev decided to make that shit not trackable in the slightest. Also, how the fuck do I have all of that shit done, along with some bonus shit, and I'm still only at 95% exploration? I hate this forest, it fucking blows.

I picked up Bronya E1 with my choice, didn't want to get Yanqing and the chance to preserve skill points is nice.

I also ended up getting Black Swan (at 85 pity, rip all the bonus jades from the update), since I have ~50ish LC pity going to try for her signature since her next BiS is eyes at S5 which I don't have since she craves EHR (She wants 80-120). She has some pretty decent relics, just need to farm Glamoth a bit more for a wind sphere.
 
For me biggest annoyance is when collectible is locked behind some quest since i like to collect all then do quests at my own pace also since Star Rail can be discussed here are PC controls on Honkai still cancer since that is what pretty much made me quit the game months ago (maybe even year)

My total Sumeru exploration is 97%, but I'm sure that is missing like 13 dendro oculus, few chests in secret area to open if you find all 76 aranaras. I'm not gonna bother doing 76 ones, despite having like 5-7 chests left.
My missing percentage in forest. Still Vanarana place has "real" and "dream" thing, so.... I'm not sure if it's related to completion rate.
Edit: it does. Need to be in real state, no need 76 arana ones to get 100%.

Although, my most recent exploration is fully explored cave area in Ashavan Realm to complete 17 stone pillar seals, you know the Ruin mechanical enemies got tethered by few dendro stones. The last stone pillar seal is just happens to be in the cave and also fully drainage water to nearby domain in the cave. Red dot is the cave entrance, river area.
There'll be like 4 Arananra NPCs instantly appear to asking you to fight similar that one overworld Ruin mechanical boss in Inazuma. One additional chest after each Aranara NPC asking you to fight harder version.

Usually the long world quests "guiding" you through out area will slowly help you, but Sumeru is probably the biggest - guilty of this with the long Aranara quest unlocking the harp. Then desert areas with book clearance. Both parts of Sumeru are too big for entire exploration.
Fontaine, at least they contain autism not to wide or too vertical. At least with vertical height you have some form of easy transport.
