I can confirm that you can use Clara as your only DPS on an Elation run that gets the proper buffs. Girl can casually throw out 500k ult counters when she's built and buffed up.

I must shake the banner until Clara falls out. When I want to guarantee a win, and I don’t care about winning round limited occurrences, I go hard into nihility or abundance then afk with auto and come back in 20 minutes. When I want to see Blade take out 40% of the bosses HP in one ultimate counter chain, I do Elation. I can’t wait until I have any actual 80 characters with 80 LC and relics, I spread my exp too thin and now I just have a lot of 60s with bad/no relics.

I really appreciated the new MoC blessing being about follow up attacks. My two main damage dealers being Jing Yuan and Clara.

Kafka's trailer just dropped and I really love Kafka's classical music motif. It suits the whole femme fatale/spider angle very well.

I have to admit that Yukong's story showing a still image of her talking with her friend made me feel more than the whole Dan Heng water city cutscene.

i agree but the main story has to have flashy scenes well doesnt 'have' to but has to if they could take a break from putting out any real content for a year like ff14 does despite also being a live service im sure they could put out something extremely cool but unfortunately gacha games and mmos have different monetization models

Have we seen that flavor of guard before? I feel like maybe we just got a preview of the <redacted> in the Kafka video. e: realized after the fact that this was potentially a small upcoming plot spoiler, I don’t think our likely next destination has been officially mentioned yet.

Save the cg budget for the big flashy moments, use VN style for the rest, it works great drat it. I mean, unless you've seen leaks of next chapter I haven't, Honkai Impact is still using the VN style plenty--basically for every "text dump," and I have to wonder how much harder it actually is for in-engine cutscenes that mostly amount to some new animations and camera angles. Mostly camera angles, really. A little extra flash for your normal stuff is fine, hell, if it does lead to somewhat shorter updates, well, I'm playing three different Hoyoverse games and still need time for other video games and, you know, life. Meanwhile, when they do want to bring the spectacle, holy gently caress, this latest update, wtf, how is this not even the chapter end, holy gently caress, that was way cooler than anything on the Luofu at least. As an added bonus, the "show don't tell" exposition sequence for Vita included perhaps the rarest article of women's clothing in these games: Pants! And they even managed to make a forced platformer section look cool as hell and not suck! They've been trying to make those not suck for years! And failing miserably! (Also having not posted since last time it came up because I needed to get current, we really should make an HI3 thread. I think there's probably enough people, and even more probably enough people somewhat interested for a link and a good OP to bring some more in. The problem is good OPs take effort.) More Star Rail relevant, I felt like we got Dan's emotional state well enough, unless I misread it. Through most of the Luofu, Dan has big "I do not want to run into anyone who knows me in my old home town" energy, obviously amped up a bit because a video game has to be more dramatic than that so he's wanted. After the reveal, we find out that in retrospect A. No that was even worse than it looked because he straight up does not know anyone but there are people who know him. B. The poo poo "he" left for and is known for is poo poo he didn't even loving do. With the added stress and anxiety of "now these assholes are all trying to make me be that person I don't even remember," only obviously even more than people expecting to act like you did in High School or whatever because, again, he literally doesn't even remember that, and as an added bonus because this is a video game a whole loving world depends on him successfully pretending. After giving in to the pressure, Dan came off really prickly and a bit resigned. I would not be surprised if his discomfort with this whole thing is used as the main reasons he A. Comes back on the express ASAP. B. Does not use his "true" form unless absolutely necessary, because to him it absolutely does not feel like himself. Or I'm projecting and reading too much into it, but at the very least it was clear the entire time that he absolutely, positively does not want to be here. Also for whatever reason I feel like the cops in Kafka's video are with the IPC, but I don't know why.

I am not interested in Kafka, but Sampo is the only 4* I am still missing, so I might as well roll for Sampo and Luka and stop once I get them. Of course, I said the same thing about JY's banner and ended up with him too... I mainly want the characters for the ~ 3 free standard banner rolls each, so it is definitely worth spending some double digit amount of other rolls on it  .

I'm not interested in Luka at all but pumping him to 70 for the passes is a good idea. I'll definitely throw a 10 pull into Kafka's banner for that reason, maybe a 20 pull.

I am actually going to roll for that reason, but I was pointing out that I know it is not always the best idea. I figure even if I did not want Kafka much, any 5* you get "accidently" pre-pity is not too bad. If I get her in 30 rolls I will be ok with that. I think I am at a guaranteed banner character, that would probably be more annoying to lose.

Imbibitor is the only one I'm mildly excited for, and I'm 10 deep into my next 5 star so I'm willing to risk a few pulls. I'm not a typical gacha player. I enjoy pulling on the slot machine and seeing what I get far more than I do in planning and waiting for future characters. Plus I actually still really want a Clara or Bronya so more pulls on the standard banner is actually valuable to me. Hell, I might even pull on the weapon banner. I use every single one of those cones and more would be better.

I don't have a good 5* damage dealer and I'm at 75/90 pity on a guarantee since I missed Blade, so I'm looking forward to grabbing Kafka to pair with my surprisingly stacked (compared to who I was actually trying to build) Sampo. Hopefully I can get her quickly and save the rest of the passes for later.

If I wasn't a poor I would whale so hard for this game. I spend like $15 a month and it hardly gets you anything. I think I'm going to stop buying the Express Pass when my current one runs out because a 15 pull a month just isn't great. At least the Battle Pass gets me a light cone and some material to make a needed ER rope or speed boots.

I'm being serious here because I definitely don't want to be a drain on the thread. I'm really enjoying my time with the game. I think the only real frustration I have is how long it takes to build characters but that's nothing to do with the gacha. I do have zero pulls banked, but I just spend a 10 pull when I get them.
