I just realized I have almost $10 in google survey bucks. I generally don't buy anything on the google play store so I'm downloading star rail on my phone so I can just use it for something there. Maybe the $5 monthly thing or the battle pass thing. I assume this is crossplatform like that and I can do that- spending google survey bucks on my PC game.

Spending a few minutes per day killing all the enemies in the various areas of ice world should set you up with those.

Sadly they don't have the google play deal I always used for genshin, where you get a $3 off coupon for 150 points, making welkins $2 in real money.

Trying to understand banners and pity timers... Pulling on the Seele banner, I got Bailu... probably pretty close to reaching the pity count if not there outright. I'm assuming, giving the nature of this being a predatory gacha game, that it's unlikely to reach the pity pull a 2nd time if f2p (or low cost investment like the $5 thing). But if I keep pulling on the banner, I'll either: 1. Get extremely lucky and get Seele before the the pity count. 2. Not get Seele, but be closer to the pity count and guaranteed character pull for banner #2 So, unless I didn't want Seele (or whomever the character is in the future), I should keep pulling on the off-chance I get lucky. There's no downside. On the other hand, if I *had* got Seele, it might have made sense to hold on the pulls until the 2nd banner to have the opportunity of getting the next one. Since the only thing I could get now would be a random 5* which I might get pulling on the second banner anyway. Or wait, could you get multiple Seele's and eidolon up? Perhaps that would be the upside there.

ultrachrist posted:Trying to understand banners and pity timers... You misunderstand the nature of the pity system, which is understandable because it's two separate things. First, eventually you get a 5-star reward. That's guaranteed. If it goes by the same system as Genshin which is almost certainly does, the "hard pity" is 90 rolls. However, the chance of pulling a 5-star begins to ramp up dramatically at 75 rolls. The moment you get a 5-star of any kind at any point, this pity counter resets. Once you rolled your Bailu the count became zero. There are separate pity timers for every separate banner on the Warp page (Character banner, Light Cone banner, Standard banner). The pity counter will roll over every time one of those banners changes, and is never lost. Second, you have a 50% chance to get the banner 5-star character the first time you roll a 5-star. If you don't get them, you have a 100% chance to get the banner character the next time you roll a 5-star. So: you rolled on the Seele banner, hit the pity counter, got a 5-star, which was Bailu. Having lost the coinflip, the next 5-star you roll on a character banner, even if it's not this banner but one in the future, is guaranteed to be the banner character. If you keep rolling on this banner your next 5-star will be Seele. If you wait three weeks, and roll on the next banner, it will be Jing Yuan. Once you've gotten this guaranteed 5-star character, you are back to a 50% coinflip.

If you're indifferent between Seele and the next banner it might be worth waiting to roll new (and the consensus seems to be better) four stars on the next one. But if you actually have a preference for Seele there's nothing wrong with rolling now and hoping to get lucky.

Clarste posted:It also mentions The Destruction destroying galaxies, but I honestly can't tell if that's a mistranslation since sometimes they also say "the Galaxy" as if there's only one relevant one. I find that a lot of scifi stuff doesn't seem to quite comprehend how much bigger a galaxy is than a star or planet, because they'll reference such things like "galaxy" is just one "tier" above "star." IIRC there was something early on that makes "X can destroy stars/planets, but Y can even destroy galaxies."

Having finally run through almost all of the free resources and still in the "cursed to not pull any 5*s before hitting maximum pity" zone, I'm nervously looking at the countdown timer on the Seele banner and beginning to ponder cracking open the emergency fund and burning my starlight for tickets, as much as I don't want to do that.

i think getting the ones that seem interesting to at least 40 is easy, after that you have to be picky. I didn't use Pela, but was like oh she will be useful on this 2nd planet, so up to 40 she goes. is the cart puzzle a daily?

I have a superimposition level 5 meshing cogs to throw on either bronya or tingyun that seems alright but choices otherwise seems not too great. One of the rewards for spending currency in the third shop is a harmony light cone (Past and Future) that is probably only second to her 5* so I'd go with that.

Having minecarts move the direction you're facing when activating them was the most annoying part of that entire mission chain, especially when other interactables are right next to a drat cart. And the whole "can destroy a galaxy" thing is probably accurate, at least in this setting. With aeons being the embodyment of concepts and the whole "paths" route to power, SR clearly runs on some variety of a xianxia/xuanhuan ruleset - and powerlevels in those scale well beyond utterly absurd levels pretty quickly.

So the embers shop is really handy for picking up the mats for upgrading traces. From genshin experience, if you're picking up the $5 monthly login thing, you'll keep more than enough embers coming in for the monthly 5 & 5 rolls from that shop, so picking up mats that cost stamina otherwise is totally fine.

FireMC/March/Dan/Nat is pretty solid as it is. Dan doesn't have the reset that Seele has but his raw DPS is pretty much the same according to that prydwen site. Should be able to still pull off SU6 at this point
