I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!
So there’s a in game mail with a link to do a survey for I assume rewards. One of the first questions asks how much time you’re willing to spend on the survey. I chose < 10 minutes and the survey immediately ended for me.

So uh lie about that answer so that you don’t screw yourself out of rewards.

Wait is welt really like 70 he looks like he's late 30s

he had a canonical age in a certain year in the manga so if you just assume the honkai universe is about the same year as the real world he would be 70 something. i think the artists are aiming more for 50~ though, but everyone also has magical powers and its an anime game so the ages are pretty fuzzy.

They aren't at all the same, outside of:

- aesthetic (except sci fi vs fantasy)
- gacha

Genshin has an absurd amount of theorycrafting for what amounts to a leaderboard that nobody looks at. Honkai Star Rail will likely be there soon!

Is it worth levelling Sanpo for wind over Dan Heng?

His abilities seem more interesting and for whatever reason I actually like the character from the story so far.

Sampo's very good, he can totally replace Dan Heng if you want him to. He even offers a little bit of AOE, unlike Dan, but due to his dots his single target damage is still pretty good.

Sim world 5 is rough, my only bar breaker got killed so my attempt was donezo but I was on the boss at least. the mind control and stacking damage buff really is hard to deal with. Guess I'll wait until I hit the next world level and can take my guys to 60.

One other thing I like about this is how 4* characters also get cool Ultimate animations (as opposed to Genshin where only the 5* get those).

Bussamove posted:

She does it with her skill on a single enemy, but against multiple I think she has to do her ult (which I think does a defense down or something).

Sampo can turn into a monster in Simulated Universe, with Nihility buffs pumping his DoT effects way up. That was one way I found to beat World 3 -- while damage can't penetrate Shield for All directly, the DoTs could and ate away the megashield in nothing flat in one run.

Holy poo poo.
Doing the Exp Calyx, and Himeko and Herta just "YOU WON'T GET AWAY" "Time to TWIRL" looped through five rounds of enemies in a row with nobody getting an actual turn.

loving crazy.

Also, I like that they apparently recorded "Time to TWIRL" twice and kept both. Once as a normal JRPG attack shout, once as though the fact that you were unaware that it is time to twirl is the single most annoying thing that has ever happened in the history of the universe.

Nat and m7 can dispel mind control before and after it sticks if you get their respective upgrades. Without that a high level team will still likely to just kill themselves in phase 3 unless u can cc her before than happens.

Would he be a better option over Welt or Dan for a Tingyun team? Not sure if her attack buff works on the dots.

I like how she's way more excited when she gets to twirl more.

Also I got her to lv 30 and got two of her cone and now herta alone's probably enough to tear through that, just slamming a diamond into some bird things and then twirling her way through whatever survived.

I'm also pretty glad I noticed that serval and asta's 'aoe' are actually 'multiple hits, even if there's just one guy.' Means they'll tear through a single dude's shield, since the damage preview only reflects the shield damage of a single hit.

Serval in particular is way better now that I can upgrade her skills and stuff. She was super underwhelming at 20/20.

Bailu's basic attack usually just has a scream for the voice line, but a couple of times I've heard something like "watch, listen, KICK" and I really wish it happened more often so I could get the line right and be sure I didn't imagine it.

He has a lot of weird poo poo going on from Honkai Impact 3rd, but the short version is yes he's very old but no it's not a mistake that he doesn't look it.

Even outside of out of game references, when you get to the second planet/region they make it extremely clear that trying to gauge a character's age by how they look is completely useless in this setting because there are just some races/species/people who are borderline immortal. Tingyun is several hundred years old at least, and Bailu(and all the other dragon people I guess) are functionally Age Infinity and they just go through repeated reincarnation cycles.
