Wait what? I tried talked to it on the first day and it said it was daily but every time I've tried since then it wouldn't let me interact with it so I assumed it was just a one time thing.

Today was the second time I could interact with it since day 1. On the plus side, I'm pretty sure I got a nicer meal? I guess researchers don't eat that often.

Path of elation in SU and all the follow up attack boons means your other 3 people are sitting around waiting for the enemy to attack Clara or her ult and then Svarog lasering everything down for massive damage.

Finally getting a break to actually play this again, haven't been able to do anything but spend stamina and do dailies

Whats a quicker way to get to level 35 for those tickets? The main story, or the sidequests? I've barely landed in space china and it feels like it might be best to do the main story to pick up chests and stuff. But I'll do the sidequests first if that's faster. Really wanna see what I get in that standard thingy, don't wanna do something like buy the hunt cone from the herta shop and get the 5 star hunt cone from standard lol

Goddam the jump in resource cost when transitioning from 50 to 60 is no joke

If it's like Genshin, it'll become pretty easy to get people to ~80 once we have access to the highest level domains (that drop far more items). It's just expensive when you only have access to the first 3 or 4 tiers.

At least we don't have to scour a large open world searching for ascension items like in Genshin. It's nice being able to just run a domain a few times.

I'm not sure if that would really work out, since the amount of Trailblazer XP you get from spending fuel seems pretty low and wouldn't add up to much.

Spending fuel for trailblaze exp is worth it if you've done all the quests and opened all the chests. I'm sure there's some break even point where leveling with daily stuff and saving or spending is comparable. If you could have hit 40 and equilibriumed up and haven't, then at some point you are spending energy for less than you'd be getting back otherwise.

Clara's big enough that I figured she was Cliche Anime Teenager instead of Cliche Anime Child, since she's not on the standard pattern Mihoyo child body like Hook. She's like the same size as Qingque.

Yeah, but how much earlier are you actually hitting that threshold due to using the fuel items? If it's just a day or two (and it's probably not more than that, since I think you only get around 300 from each fuel item), I don't imagine it's worth it (since you'd only be benefiting from the extra day or two's worth of natural fuel spending).

I could see it being worth using a couple if you're super close to a threshold after doing that day's dailies, but otherwise I don't think you'd benefit from it.

she's a graduate with a full-time job in what I assume is the HSR equivalent of IT. she's held a job for ten years post-graduation. she's small but i don't think she's a child, just incredibly lazy.

admittedly mihoyo is obnoxiously coy about the ages of their characters and the xianzhou being full of "long-life" species doesn't help.

I think everyone native to that place is long-lived because their ancestors were cursed by The Abundance with a horrible form of immortality that doesn’t even let them get important surgeries or alter their body in any way. But that also seems to have given them a much different view on time compared to everyone else, and they treat a century or two as maybe a few years.

This isn’t even getting into the dragon people with their perpetual reincarnation or the fact they store the souls of everyone who dies there in a massive databank deep in the bowels of the Luofa and can stick them in an automaton to question them if need be.

Does the standard banner alternate between cones and characters? I felt like I had been shortchanged for characters (I only have 11 total including all free ones, after 87 standard rolls + 50 beginner), so out of curiosity I went through the standard banner and noticed that all of my 4*s alternated between characters and light cones, not sure if it is just coincidence or not. Also, apparently all of my 4* have been pity rolls too, currently 2 4* less than expected after 86 rolls, subtracting the guaranteed Asta.

Nope, you can get 2 5* LCs in a row on standard, or 4*.

Less than 100 pulls away from "choose a character" on the standard banner and I am really torn between Clara and Welt. My current 5*s are Bronya and Yanqing, and I will be getting Silver Wolf and Kafka in the future as well. I don't really lack any roles in my roster at the moment, though a second healer would be nice, but do I really want to burn a one-time-ever guarantee on a healer?

Hard pity is 50ish rolls out, so I'll know if I get lucky well beforehand at least.

Technically not that we're explicitly told anywhere, but based on Genshin's standard banner at least, there's a very good likelyhood that every 3rd 5* (and/or 4*) is guaranteed to be a different type, character or weapon, if you managed to pull 2 of the same type in a row prior. But again, not confirmed anywhere in writing that I've seen, and that's assuming they run the same set of rules Genshin does (which they seem to so far).

Here's a video of all character ults with the JP dub that doesn't have some idiot spewing memes over the whole thing. Take your pick. It's neat that even the 4* characters have unique animations.

Seele's is a flashbang that they've had to put out a notice they're changing, it'd be kinda nice if not for that. It's not fancy but I think Yanqing's is pretty slick.

How can this happen unless you're spending your crystals on standard tickets? If you are, you probably shouldn't do that. I understand the temptation to reach that threshold sooner (I'm at around 70 right now so getting close to soft pity), but it'll happen on its own in time.
