Q4 this year for PS5 release. No sign of a PS4 release.

Speaking of minor interface annoyances and re: prime gaming reward codes, it bugs me that Star Rail's "gift" code redemption page doesn't remember the server and character even thought I'm still logged in, while Genshin Impact's "gift" code redemption page does remember. This wastes 0.75 seconds every time I have to apply a gift code. Literally unplayable!

Is SW's LC worth trying to get or does the event LC seem practically as good for her unless you're going to hyperinvest/whale for SIs and Eidolons?

The one good thing about this is if it launches with content parity, and I would assume that it will, it's going to have a solid 40+ hours of main story at that point. These games only get better with time so people starting up on PS5 are going to be eating pretty well.

with genshin PC and PS4/PS5 were the same game to the point you could play the same account on both so yeah itll definitely be at parity.

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.

One thing I've noticed about the 5* light cones in this is that they seem heavily specialized for specific characters, to the extent that they're often not that good on other characters. Take, for example, Bronya's 5* light cone - it's heavily dependent on Bronya's ability to shift an ally's turn to be after hers.

This makes them seem comparatively less useful than in Genshin, where 5* weapons were usually pretty universally useful for characters who care about whatever sub-stat they have.

Depends on the cone. Both Seele's and JY's cone are good on every hunt/erudition unit, and will likely continue to be so. The lightcones (particularly SW and Luocha) are certainly designed for their specific units, but Pela would would def use the the SW lightcone without hesitation.

by the way I don't think we have a honkai impact third thread but Sirin aka Kiana Kaslana K-423 is an epic character and I'd like to see her, or a take on her in this game

don't click that box if you're not finished with honkai 3rd's story btw, or if you care about experiencing the story yourself

Silver Wolf not being Bronie is just super disappointing to me when unlike this game's Bronya, she acts the same as Bronie. They are the same person but SW has this whole Punklorde poo poo. And it's too different from Bronie's Arc City to be them withholding the name. Unless her last ascension just reveals that was all a lie I was completely wrong about calling her as Bronie and it feels like such a waste when they are the same characters.

However yes I would love to see Sirin. I'm less bullish on my theory about Kiana Kaslana being the new Aeon of Finality after SW isn't Bronie, but given her popularity an expy will surely have to show up.


I mean my biggest want for an expy is Senti, please show up Senti I need you.

Spent my entire bank on silver wolf (hosed up a bunch of rolls and ended up with her light cone by accident at first) so hoping she stays relevant for a while since I don't really have a team for her yet.

I have her LC and I don't think it's downplaying it, it's just the completely free lightcone is competitive with one that costs your precious jade. I got her cone because my favs deserve their special treat, but it's not a smart decision. If there's a free guaranteed option that's comparable to any weapon I'd always tell people to go with and use that.

It's also competing for pull currency against: a top tier support character (Silver Wolf), a healer that a lot of people probably want/need (Luocha), and soon thereafter, Kafka (Kafka). Not a lot of people, outside the whales, want to be spending currency on light cone right now, even if it is very good.

It's pretty mediocre as far as value-over-replacement goes (assuming you're not going for multiples), which is the thing that really matters.

Like yes it's "good" in an abstract sense, in that it's worth using if you did pull it, but that's not what's important if you have to choose between pulling for it or pulling for other things.

Lightcones not having substats (unlike GI's "xx% CCHANCE/CDMG" statsticks) is a big part of this imo, since it means they stuff more functionality into the flavor text/features of the weapon, which lends itself better toward specialization instead of generalization.

What characters are you using? Level/LC/relics/traces all maxed? Path?

Generally SU is tuned so that all stages are beatable as soon as you have access to them, though the highest one may take a bit of luck with the blessings. Until your characters are 70 at least, at that point you can kinda steamroll everything. Hard to recommend strategy if you don't know the characters though. When I did that the first time I planned my (hunt) resonance usage around his shield, and got a bunch of resets off of the adds.

3-2 has a recommended team level of 62, while at EL3 you're limited to 60, so while it is doable it's generally going to be "hard content" until you hit EL4 and can level up at least your primary DPS character further.

Having good AoE damage to burn down his big shield faster is a good strategy though.

Yeah, I'm a little disappointed it's apparently not coming to PS4 anymore, but my laptop is running HSR well enough so I'll manage. Maybe by the time it drops I'll finally have a PS5 to play it on.
