Personally I think discussing gameplay leaks can only benefit everyone, more info to plan your resources spending in a gacha game is always good. Though I get that sometimes gameplay leaks could imply certain things about the story (like future Trailblazer variants and Dan Heng's alt form), but this specific case is definitely harmless

Yeah I think people who care about spoilers generally care about story spoilers.

As far as spoiling future characters, I'd personally rather people talk about mechanics rather than calling them out by name, e.g., 'upcoming Imaginary Destruction dps, can dump skillpoints to power up your autoattack, MEGA BIG MULTIPLIERS'. Even if a name doesn't mean anything to us now, when we eventually do meet them the leaked kits might end up spoiling the character's involvement in the plot. This is coming from someone who couldn't give two hoots about story, by the way.

I'm also of the "spoiler tags exist for this purpose" mentality. People who don't want spoilers can just not read spoiler tags and skip blocked-out posts, but people who do want to talk about spoilers with other goons don't have an option. Sure, sometimes you might not be paying attention and decide to click/hover on accident, somehow. It's not perfect because it's a compromise

This is the star rail thread and it's where we talk about star rail

Spoilers and spoiler tags are for things that happen in the story that's actually been released. Leaks are an entirely different business. This shouldn't be a place for discussing story leaks, go elsewhere for that. Gameplay stuff is fine.

I’m fine with spoiler tagging everything, as long as the spoiler is prefaced with a brief description of it to avoid blind clicking, like (upcoming 1.3 story spoiler) Dan’s a weiner, gonna traitor him

there's a reason why starrail and starrail leaks (or any gacha community really) are on separate communities and separated on discord. its north and south korea. (the leaker talkers are north korea)

None of the spoilered stuff in that post really needed to be, so I'm not sure why it kicked off spoiler chat again.

The 10-ticket login bonus seems to be a fixture at this point, resin is rewarded from at least one event per patch, and we'll continue to get free 4* characters and LCs. Letting people know about these is only going to improve ability to plan rolls, what to raise, or resources to spend/save.

I'm not that lucky since apparently some folks got that event within the second week of release and they claim its like a 5% chance of showing up. Tbh I think that 5% is a typo and it's more like .5% chance

I've gotten Ruan Mei twice but I'm going on 5 abundance runs at 21/22 including one where I got the required dewdrop in the second room. I'm missing 2 events as well so I need to look into which I'm missing. I should probably try to finish before the new SU content rolls in for 1.3.

I've gotten her once, and I'm also in the 'runs SU 2-6 times per week' camp.


And at the time I didn't realize you got Stellar Jade for acquiring blessings, so took the 2000 Cosmic fragments like a fool.

A fool who had the +dam/100 fragments curio, which is why I took it, but a fool nonetheless.

Finally managed to clear this period's MoC 6. Here's what I used if anyone is interested:



Hoping to nab one more star before the period ends. MoC sure does make me feel jealous of "people who have more than one usable 5* unit"!

I have her E1 and signature light cone too, so the game is definitely trying to tell me something...

All of my 5 stars are supports except Jing Yuan and he needs a lot of investment. I really need to focus on him I think, because if I had good relics for him he would be my best unit.

Same. Those drat apes are the bane of my existence and my only options are Hook, Herta and Dan Heng except Dan is the only one with any investment.

I've gotten the Ruan Mei one several times, even though I'm still missing something like 6-8 events.

I've only gotten Ruan Mei once, but I got it well before some of the other index things. The event that took the longest for me was either Galactic Altruist or one of the Saleo endings, since those are multi-part. I finished blessings first, once I realized some of them had prerequisites. Next was events, and finally curios. I had to hunt forever to get the last negative curio I needed. I kept getting the wrong clocks, over and over.

I tried MoC 9 again, and got it this time. I figured I could do it because I got so close last time (Svarog had 4% health left when I lost, and Serval had died early). Here are my teams:



Serval is e6 and Pela is e5, which is lucky because I got all their eidolons after I had already decided to use them.

Not the most impressive given the quality of my units, but only Blade, Himeko and Seele have really built up artifacts. Wolfies are a bit of a mess and everyone else is making do.

That's kind of crap from my perspective. My Sushang is already E6. Also she's been on 2 banners already. We should be getting a free Luka, or at least someone who hasn't been on a banner let alone multiple. Still, it's a free pull on the banner for me.

Makes sense. I just don't see myself ever getting to that point. The artifact grind will take forever as a battlepass or f2p player.

I'm starting to pay attention to eidolon level and realized my Sushang is E4 while my Dan is E0. I'm thinking of switching my main DPS to Sushang so I'm also not doubling up on Wind between Dan and Sampo on my teams. I don't have any 5* main damage dealers yet. And for this double event, I'm thinking of doubling up on World 3 because it seems that those two sets seem to have the most cross-character use, no?

Also checking out my warp stats and seeing "unluckier than 97% of users" feels badman.

you know you can just leave mid-run and pick up where you left off later, right

that's what i do if i don't have enough energy for the relic dispensers. hell, you can beat the boss, leave, then come back hours later for the relics and finish the run
