Is the Earth in this universe the same one from Honkai 3rd? I know Welt is apparently from those games, but his profile just makes it sound like "he's from Earth" instead of "he's from an alternate dimension."

It's our Earth except Honkai horrors started showing up and causing problems decades ago. After having done so cyclically thousands of years ago also. So actually it's pretty different I guess.

Good to know. I feel speed is probably on a curve. Like up to 130 it’s probably even, but past 140 it be like oh now you need 2 speed per to equal .01 cycle Sounds like speed is gonna be the high IQ end game stat.
Not only turns, but a buttload of relics/light ones/talents activate due to characters having a high enough speed

Is there any value to using these SPD boots over ATK% for Seele? I have 128 SPD now which goes to 160 with the buff so I'm already at max stacks for her light cone. I really have no idea how +20 SPD stacks up against +23% ATK.

Seele wants atk not speed, so no, no need for spd on her.

Imo, not really. At 128 speed you're going on turn 1 and at -40, there's not much reason to be going faster now that the light cone damage is capped. Putting on atk% boots is going to contribute way more to overall damage. For other units that are under 100 speed, getting speed boots on so they can potentially act before the enemy, and/or being able to get a second move is more important, but seele doesn't really need them

Pretty sure the attack comes out better, unless you already have a ton of attack percent. Hitting 200 speed boosted would put you in the two turns every round territory though, which would be funny if maybe not as effective as the extra damage. More turns would mean more energy -> more ults, and more points generated if throwing basics around though.

I do recommend having at least 121 speed if you can do it without sacrificing too much since there are normal mobs with 120 spd. Enemies started getting a lot more hits in since I switched my Seele relics from atk% and spd% set to qua damage set.

Weavers apparently all have 120 SPD at current levels and they're really annoying. Went after an elite while underleveled and the two weaver flanks just immediately killed someone one run.

So it's the same universe as this game? Only this game takes place in the entire galaxy/universe instead of just Earth?

I was under the impression that Honkai in the Honkai 3rd setting was a universal phenomenon, but it hasn't been explicitly mentioned yet in this (it seems like the Aeons are the big mysterious universal powers/threats in this setting).

the anti-matter legions are more or less the honkai, but maybe more will come up later. you are set to beat up their boss, after all.

Everyone is assuming it is a different universe, my partner definitely has the theory that it is the same universe but maybe in the far future.

EDIT: I think I am definitely team alternate universe that Welt managed to travel to, but it is pretty unclear at the moment and I bet we will learn definitively one way or the other before the end.

It takes place long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Edit: I feel like Earth may or may not exist in this setting, but even if it does it's probably irrelevant to the cosmic scale issues.

The things we know right now.

1. This is a difference universe, Welt and Void Archives explicitly travel to another universe. If you want to know more, see this manga where he leaves the Honkai universe for Star Rail https://manga.honkaiimpact3.com/book/1021

2. Earth does not exist in Star Rail's universe (or universes there's a dialogue from Himeko that makes it sound like we aren't traveling between planets but universes, she even brings up the imaginary tree metaphor)

3. There is no mention of Honkai thus far, but this does fit with Kiana now having the authority of Finality and Honkai no longer being an enemy of humanity. The Aeons are powered by imaginary energy however, the same type of energy that makes up the Honkai.

4. No Herrschers, buuuuuut (ending of Jarilo VI) the way Cocolia speaks in her boss exactly fits with someone succumbing to the will of the Honkai, and the form she turns into after absorbing the Stellaron is a high def version of the Herrscher of Ice

As for Honkai impact's version of Earth, it's definitely an alternative history universe since almost every famous historical figure is a woman, Honkai has been around since humans evolved and the whole Previous Era stuff. For example on the historical figure stuff, the woman with red hair in Welt's splash is his wife. Frederica Nikola Tesla. :v:

i feel like i read some lore that himeko n the train just found welt like floating in space somehow so dimensional travel makes as much sense as anything else

stuff like xianshou make it clear that time is an absurd thousands of years scale, too, and they already came from a highly capable spacefaring civilization (that they then forgot about) so himeko might not know earth by way it being long since gone and irrelevant

Also lol, lmao, at the sudden jump in mat needs for 50 to 60. I'm guessing I need to wait until the weekly reset to access the 2nd difficulty tier for SU or do I gotta do something besides beat world 6 to unlock that?

thank you - thanks to this set up (FireMC/Serval/Seele/Natasha with Abundance) I was able to beat SU6 quite handily

Aside from March's taunting ability being invisible RNG, it is kind of annoying that one of her early Eidolons will assign a shield to the most injured character at the start of each battle (not sure how it judges ties). Can take the aggro management she should allow somewhat out of your hands.

I think it's specifically her skill shield that boosts aggro, not shields she creates in general. The taunt boost is under her skill rather than a talent.

In the case of a tie it goes to the leftmost person in the party.

And yes, the pre-battle shield does not seem to affect aggro.

march's shield only increases aggro if the target has more than 30% hp so you can throw it on someone on death's door and they won't take extra heat

theres actually some interestng stuff with that. it refuses to give both march and sampo a rating. wonder if it means march is related to whatever group sampo is a part of or if its just them both being mysterious.
