I appreciate that everyone has a bark for being revived in combat, even though the only way to trigger it on non-Gepard units right now is with Bailu's ultimate. Now that's future-proofing! Though maybe they say it when you revive them with a consumable out of combat, too. I dunno. Too annoying to test.

I didn't notice the Trailblazer has different barks depending on her Path for generic shared things like "getting hit", either.

There's a Destruction(?) blessing that gives you a free revive per fight.

i caved and splurged on silver wolf banner and got her 72/90. so now my account's identity is starting to coalesce as an enabler account with my two 5 stars being bronya and silverwolf. i guess now i just save up for big dick hard carry options?

I've decided on a couple of teams and I really like how they work.

Team 1: Fireblazer, Dan Heng, Welt, Asta

Team 2: March 7, Serval, Herta, Natasha

Alternates: Quinque and Tingyun

Welt really makes Dan Heng shine, and the combination of Serval and March means Herta pops off hard. And Tingyun is great support for Quinque since it lessens her reliance on rng.

More importantly, these teams are fun. :)

Luckily, I *did* save your old avatar. Fucked around and found out indeed.
I'm currently working on team 2 (clara/march/dan heng/asta) but I'll probably drop asta as soon as I get a better support or healer.

Also: I finally got the science quiz daily missions, hooray!!!!

I accidently rolled 20x on the weapon banner before realizing it while meaning to roll on the character banner. I guess it is closer to pity now, but I still want those rolls back.

I am a slow learner when it comes to the gacha, but one thing I learned from Genshin after incredible amounts of waste is "never, ever roll on the weapon banner."

Unless you're budgeting hundreds of dollars per month to the game, I guess.


This goes double for Star Rail where there are numerous free 5* weapons.

Which all goes to say, I am sorry for your loss.

making the weapons in this game images of the character on the banner at the same time feels really hosed up

It would be pretty weird if a character's signature LC didn't have them on it, though. I guess they could have extended the more abstract art style they use for the 3-star and Herta LCs to all the rest?

Ehhh, kinda. The weapon banner in this game is way more forgiving than the genshin weapon banner. The fact that there's not 2 separate 5* weapons on the same banner is huge. It means that you have a 75% chance to get the good LC instead of a 37.5% chance for it. I wouldn't do it unless it's for a main carry, but the first weapon is generally going to be a better investment for damage than chasing character eidolons. For a fully F2P player, it's probably not worth it, but if you're getting the BP/express pass, it should be something you at least consider if you're looking to chase dupes on a character.

Also the silver wolf light cone is not worth it to pull on because it the event light cone is so good, that the banner light cone is barely an upgrade a S1.

genshin only started putting two weapons on the same banner when they added a second character banner.

Yeah I assume dabbling in light cones is probably optimal but I have a hard time seeing myself doing it. It's one of those things where yeah I'd probably get more jade in memory of chaos in the long run if I did it, but it would take an awful lot of that to make up for blowing the jade on the light cones to start with, so I'll just grab cool characters instead. And if falling behind the meta ever feels bad, falling back to just story content so meta doesn't matter is always an option too.

sucks that you can't use consumable items in MoC, like that's the only content where you would want it.

or at least, it should be like genshin ones where instead of working for one battle, it works for all battles for 30minutes

I mean it says Light Cone Event Warp right on the banner. The text could stand to be a bit bigger I guess.

when you open the gacha screen the "I want silver wolf" button is already selected, people need to stop pressing things so much

There's also the fact that pressing the warp button defaults to character banner.

Thinking on it, I do agree, however, that there could stand to be a "You are rolling on the (Standard/Light Cone/Event Character) banner, confirm y/n?"

i used consumables when going through story content for the first time and sometimes when i remember that one of the echoes freezes you pretty regularly

i could see them being more useful in theoretical dungeon-crawling content where you can't just zip to a waypoint and get healed to full
