I'm on the look out for it, but I don't that much about it.

I guess I can try for Topaz's LC. Probably gonna get fucked on that one since I pulled Acheron LC twice. Wondering if pulling Bronya fucked my shot at Robin. I'll have to double-check which Warp that was(likely standard, so unlikely that affected my special banner pity). YOLO pulling is truly a double-edged sword

Edit: got her

seen some drama stories about punishing grey raven, their previous game, but nothing recent.

however the question is if they can replicate genshin's casual factor and how little jank it has. say what you want about genshin, but that shit ran 99.9% stable and bugfree from day one, with basically optional gatcha.
meanwhile you get games like tower of fantasy who basically advertise themselves as the "genshin killer", then fuck it up out of incompetence and greed. most people don't react positively to feeling "forced" to roll.

You need that resistance shred.

Based and bowpilled xister. Your choice is totally valid and wholesome.
I mean Father is proud that more people love her son or anyone from House of the Hearth and "roll for whom you like".

As Noebel said, usual to maximize damage potential, you need some Anemo VV shred. But in Lyney as mono pyro, anemo can go go ATK + Cr as sub dps "coping" like Lynette rather than usual EM Kazuha (still the best) or Sucrose.
For overworld stuff, you can use any E skill healer like Baizhu, Yaoyao and maybe Barbara (against pyro mage), easier to gain - keep Lyney damage stack up.

my current team. i sometimes drop kokomi or thoma
i was maining razor and fischl, then i added nahida and just rotated the 4th slot as needed. i dont do meth or math so i kinda just guess if im effective. i was using anemo lumine forever until i dropped her from my team. i also have ninguang but feel dissatisfied about geo damage.

anemo lumine

Not the best one out there. Better use Sucrose, or Sayu if you need healing. The catch is in the anemo artifact set. When holder wooshes pyro from a mob, that mob gains -60% resistance to pyro. In practic, it's not full 60 most of the time, since after elemental resistance hits 0, the rest of the effect is halved. And all your pyro units would benefit from it.

i also have ninguang

She's not a good damage dealer. What she does good is generate geo energy and doing some damage while you're at it. Problem is, she wasn't designed as a support, so she isn't ideal either, and she doesn't share usual geo mechanics with other characters.

okay so i have venti, and i like him the most out of my anemo folk, he is now in the team with VV. i have kokomi in the party until i get some grind done. for now i prefer to use bennett over thoma but i like having both. partly because thoma can break rocks.

thank you for explaining the anemo VV thing i was just not getting it.

I've played the new honkai story till the end and the finale was really hype (train attack oh yea) but i think everyone is under recency bias cause 90% of the story was just Sunday rambling religious symbolism and the big reveal makes a lot of things worse in hindsight.

Sparkle was a pointless red herring. Boothill for example just comes out of nowhere and helps. Argenti literally appears just to save aventurine offscreen. Sparkle was just a shitty red herring prankster. I'm not sure the story from 2.0 and 2.1 even mattered (did the ipc even do shit?)?

I think this is the issue with trying to inject 2 new characters EVERY patch. You're gonna have to force them in the plot even if it really isnt about them.

Either way some leak news about firefly and jade

Spoiler

>Firefly is looking kinda bad

Firefly kit is basically use skill to charge 50% ult -> ult to get turn and super mode -> super mode implants fire weak on middle and does 90/150/90 blast toughness of fire -> do big break damage. But the problem is that Firefly wants at least 250 and max 360 break (lol) for her personal set and you sacrifice everything for that meaning she does garbage damage outside of break. This means she needs Harmoncy TB to do superbreak damage... but then she also needs ruan mei to increase her damage by +70%... and then galagher to help chip away fire toughness.

In other words, firefly has 1 (ONE) viable team which is sad. Boothill doesnt suffer from this cause he converts BE into crit and does break dmg on broken enemies so he functions alone at least.

>Jade is popping off in pure fiction

Jade is a weird erudition cause her skill is actually a buf to allies and her basic is a blast. For every enemy and her partnered ally hit she gets a stack and at 8 stacks she does a big follow up AoE and her ult is AoE and enhances follow up. She's actually the only truly sp positive dps in the game and she pops off in pure fiction with blade/himeko/herta but against 1 enemy she barely functions.

On other notes, had a nice surprise using galagher at the new weekly boss and finding out he's legit damn good. He's the best 4* healer by huge margin and argueably better than 5* ones in pyro break scenarios. His main weakness is having such good cons that he probably feels garbage at E0 and requiring high investment on all his talents and needing 150 BE. I highly recommend him to anyone who has him at E4+.

Currently rolling on Robin's banner on hope of getting Xueyi E4 and making a decent break team with her ruan mei and galagher. If anyone here has topaz and robin, which one would you recommend? Pyrowise i only use Himeko and galagher, harmony wise i have ruan mei, bronya and i dont use my tingyun e6 and asta e6.

And in a rare luck of mine, i was trying to get the new nihility gacha cone and got Topaz lightcone at 4 pity! Noice!


I dont even have topaz but Ratio can make good use of it surely? The debuff feeds his own passive and helps team dmg. Never got a 5* this early in honks.

Yanqing took my Topaz LC, the little faggot.
I managed to do the story and I felt like I missed stuff... Why do I feel I'm in the Loufu again?

The 2.2 story was just too fucking long and constantly repeating itself. The middle section where you had the three mini games should have been shunted off to a sub event, and the bit where

Spoiler

you realise you're still in the dream

also dragged on a little too long. Other scenes involving Robin and Sunday and their past could have been moved to Robin's story quest as well.

I expect 2.3 to be the Penacony epilogue where Sparkle gets her big moment with the detonators, and Jade arrives to ruin the post victory parade. Boothill will probably stick around as he's now leading into an IPC focused story arc where he's looking for one of the Diamond level managers who's name escapes me right now.

New Windtrace is up, and the new mechanic - read, the part where they ripped DBD - puts the game hilariously in the Hunters favour this time around. Considering how Rebel Biased not-Prop Hunt was the last few times, I can’t complain too much.

Sure, basic communication would probably trump that, but that requires people actually talk to one another, and the in game chat is garbage when not on PC.

Interesting; I felt that the previous iterations already favored the hunter as unless the hiders found an exploit or found a way to serve as distractions to run down the timer, any hunter with a handful of brain cells to rub together was going to win 95% of the time within the first two or so minutes. On top of that the maps that really benefited the hiders by having lots of vertical surfaces were removed from the map pool; this was a sorely needed change as the forested maps that let you climb trees could be almost automatic wins for the hiders. That said, I played under the personal restriction of never turning into any prop and was rarely ever seen by the hunter and even rarer, caught.

Still looking forward to how it plays this time around; it's some silly fun.

Edit: After a few rounds, I can say this iteration of Windtrace is "Hunter Wins unless they're completely retarded".

Meant to post this earlier but forgot about it, the Sea of Bygone Eras and it's related quests and soundtrack are so beautiful, the soundtrack is so fucking good with my favourite track being the ones attached to the Requiem quest.


God it's so fucking cool.

Considering that time expiring means a Hunter Win this time around, even the Hunter being retarded might still allow them to win. The not-Generators were definitely not the mechanic they should've gone with, but at least this means Hunters on Mobile who apparently don't know how to move the camera upward have a chance now - yes, I've lost Hunters by climbing trees on the Canyon map. It's still hilarious.

Mildly unrelated, I might've caused someone to ragequit - fixed the last generator our team needed at 0:01 remaining. I really hope that was a mobile player and they yeeted their phone

Pretty much; you don't actually need to catch anyone this time around, you just need to have enough map awareness to not let them fix any objectives. That said, this does benefit console/PC players more because of view distance and detail since you can see the UI element change from a distance (not to mention visible player model/pet) before the map ping even goes off. I've yet to lose a game as hunter and I generally don't even use my skill, let alone the favor. It's absolutely the hunter's game to lose.

It's amusing to see hiders attempt to outrun the hunter; you can't. It's like they don't realize the hunter has infinite stamina on top of moving faster. Misdirection is truly the key this time.

I've also had that happen; the hunter got absolutely wrecked and quit at the very last minute to deny everyone their points. Haven't seen a hider ragequit yet; they're more likely to AFK or never attempt to fix anything which is an automatic win for the hunter as you need at least two competent hiders to even have a chance at winning. If you're at the two minute mark and only one hider has attempted a repair then the game is already over.

I reached after finishing the story and doing maybe some side missions? I did have some money saved from the previous patches.
