Did I miss what a "follow up attack" is? I'm getting a lot of the synergy cards in world 1 and have no idea how to trigger it.

follow up attacks are when a character attacks automatically when a condition is met - like March 7th when a shielded character is attacked

VVVV exactly

My guess is that a follow-up attack is like the thing Himeko did when she joined the party for a bit. Or March's attacks when enemies attack shielded allies.

A follow-up attack is any attack that takes place outside of a character's turn, the example you'd probably recognize is March's counterattacks whenever an enemy hits a shield. Himeko also has one that follows-up on attacks that hit weaknesses, and you got a chance to play with her in the Prologue. Herta also has one that triggers when an enemy is brought below 50% HP.

follow-up attack is kind of weird wording, its any attack that is triggered automatically without you having to select an action. so counters, yangqing's bonus attack, etc. its not 'bonus damage' like dots or whatever.

basically anything where the character actually does an animation but you didnt select an action to trigger that

Oh, I didn't realize Yanqing's proc would count. I was thinking of it as "additional damage" like Sushang's.

there's nothing wrong with you that an expensive operation can't prolong

Notably, Clara’s counters are follow-ups, which lets you do some extremely busted things with those blessings.

51 posts now... just like in hit video game honkai star rail, we're learning sometimes that aggressively going after a problem only makes it worse, on all sides...

therefore, ive decided that we must never let anyone know that these posts happened

In all honesty the only reason I even did another one of those today was like I said some people found it interesting last time even though Endorph took grave offense. Since Endorph apparently runs this thread too like several other anime/game ones that they are involved in and remains in charge of telling people what they are allowed to post or not its just not worth the constant beefing like I said, and it was clearly my mistake to put other people's seeming interest ahead of Endorph's and several others personal lack of interest which I suppose takes takes priority. I'd only really have Welt to cover anyway of the currently present characters. He's a pretty cool interesting character too.

:lol: at somebody actually posting an entire wikipedia entry though without any spoiler tagging whatsoever just to beef and try to make some bizarre point. Really considerate stuff there. Note the stark differences between the extremely bad posting I did and their good posting.

some of these quests are boring because they seem like they should be quick/doable in 5 minutes but then you get there and there's this long chain of events that takes way more than 5 minutes.

anyway its more entertaining reading people fighting itt than to do boring quests itg

For an actual post, what are all the things I need to do before the end of this week that will get reset? I already bought the 5+5 passes from the shop using wish currency, am trying to hit AR30 so that I can do the higher lvl version of this dungeon that i get 3 clears per week, and I guess go as far as I can in the sim world. Is there anything else that resets?

I think the anger/resentment over the lore posts is weird because 1) literally just put two people on ignore and you'll stop seeing them 2) it's not going to make the game worse or "take it away" from other fans, it's basically fanfiction.

Apart from the weekly battle pass missions? I think that's it.

Notably, you still get Herta Points for reclearing earlier sim universe levels, if you want to hit the cap and pushing deeper looks like it'll be too painful.

To be fair they do call each other sisters, but it feels in the same way as in America Haruka and Michiru are cousins. Bronya/Seele get the rare honor of actually being depicted kissing in official media. They are as confirmed a couple as Kiana and Mei are.

On a lighter note, you get 1 free 5* after 300 pulls in the regular banner.

Also I disliked Sampo because dude ditched me during main points in the story and gave me a janky treasure map that just led to mining equipment ( though he did give me a better treasure map after I threatened to kick his butt).

Also seele picking fights with people and Natasha offering support ( emotional?) during the boss robot fight when I thought she’d really help.

I read the lore connection posts in the early days of the Genshin thread but stopped because some of the connections obviously only existed in the head of the person writing the post and I had no way of telling if the other connections were too without actually playing Honkai (which would be way too much work just to evaluate the correctness of a forums post)

the sisters thing is one of those things that doesnt translate well because in a cn sense the two people of the same sex who arent actually related calling each other brothers/sisters = gay coding thing is all over old fiction and in a jp sense the whole 'sisters' thing is really common in old yuri manga from the 80s/90s. its not really like american haruka and michiru more just playing into tropes.

I didn't know that was a trope in CN stuff, cool to learn. I do know in Japanese you can sometimes refer to someone with a familial term but not have to be related.

Sampo rules in a very "love to hate him" sense. It's like "ugh, sampo :rolleyes:" and "oh boy, sampo :allears:" in the same character. In the same cutscene, sometimes, even. :v:

E: I hope he shows up in future worlds with zero explanation whatsoever.

I think I'm almost off the icehell planet. the npcs are too drat wordy and it's annoying how picky the game is about letting you skip dialogue, but at least its more charming than genshin. just hope they don't do the same thing where your quests can get logjammed because an npc is standing somewhere for a different quest.
