not that HSR will logically follow genshin's lead on anything going forward but yeah i think it's too early to make any assumptions about where and when weekly bosses will be added

Are stats from relic effects applied on the character page? My Natasha has 119 speed and the 2 piece set that gives 6% speed. Is her speed 126 after the 6%, or is it already applied to get to 119?

Is it (ever) worth it to keep pulling on Kafka's banner to try to hunt Eidolon levels for Sampo/Serval? They're at E0/E2 for me and I'm tempted since I think it would also help build 5* pity, right?

Sure! Being early right after you get the on banner 5 is actually a very freeing position because if you somehow hit early, it's super exciting, and you can pull for 4, and yes it builds towards your next 5.

Building pity is a lie you tell yourself to justify bad rolling behavior, but if you don't care about Imbibitor or Fu Xuan you can go nuts.

Two things:

1) The 6% from Hackerspace is only based on base Speed, not total.
2) The best way to see the actual math is in the stat detail page, where it shows you. I have 27 speed from relics and 2p hackerspace on my Nat, and her stats look like:

So you can see that it's lumped into that +33 - +2 from her hat, +25 from her boots, and +6 from Hackerspace (5.88 rounded up to 6).

For the first, that was an optional interlude chapter that came out like a year and a half later. The second, I meant the Inazuma main weekly boss and it's actual final boss, as well as the conclusion to Inazuma's main quest, were both in the same patch(2.1).

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

I did a dry run of my Tutorial Mission Eagle Set Kafka + Resolution Shines Sampo combo, and the results seemed really good. One thing I didn't realize is that Tutorial Mission procs per enemy attacked, so if I were to use Sampo's Ult against 5 enemies, applying DEF down on all of them, then use Kafka's Ult, Kafka would regen a whopping 45 Energy after Ult. :stare:

I saw that math, I just was not sure if that +33 from your example included the 6% (though I guess I could just unequip something and see how it changed). I guess she is at 119 speed, need to get 1 more for that 8% attack.

I won the 50/50 at around 75 pulls, and got up to e4 Sampo and Serval and e1 Luka (who I think is very cool, so I'm a little disappointed that I didn't get more of him.) Feels pretty good except now I definitely don't have cones for all my nihility characters, I have 3 good ones to split among 6 characters that I really want to use. :cry:

Quick question: so I'm at the highest equilibrium level, and am starting to transition to the point where I'm spending the majority of my trailblaze power every day grinding artifacts. At this point, should I just get rid of all my excess purple relics? If not, how do I decide which to keep?

Keep only spheres of elements you don't have that 5* in that set, ER ropes all, crit chests both rate and dmg, speed boots all.

I feel the terrible call of the LC banner again. I need nihility cones and the stupid sexy Luka lc would be great for me. Also imaginary daniel and fu xuan are both nerds and as such are very skippable for me. Am I crazy for wanting to put 40ish pulls to try and get a few cones?

DontMindMe posted:

It seems like Luka is better, because Sampo is very SP hungry and has a lot of wind up time to really get his damage going.

Apparently I was wrong about my 50/50 because I just got Bailu after 18 rolls. I managed to get my first Sampo also, not sure how much I want to risk to get Luka. I literally just spent some effort gearing up Natasha a bit better this morning...

Got my next 5 early. In 32 pulls I got my guaranteed Kafka 2nd pull (was close to pity from the Blade banner), and in the next 3 10-pulls I got Luka to E2, Swordplay (new), Secret Vow (2nd one), and Gepard (new). Using the free tickets from Ascending Kafka, Luka, and Gepard at 20 got me Hook on the standard warp, so yay?

I've got a built Sampo already, looking forward to building out Kafka and Asta for a 2nd team. Not sure how Luka places here? I'm already running Sushang as my DPS on Team 1 right now.

How is Sampo SP hungry? Give him efh and let him basic attack.

His ideal situation is using his skill every turn, whereas Luka still likes to use basic attacks (which trigger Kafka's talent as well) so the synergy is a bit better. If one has Sampo built, he's probably still a great pick for wind weakness.

A mildly pertubed emoji face
At first I was gonna skip kafka and go for dragon boy because kafka needed me to raise a couple characters from scratch and farm all new gear, while dragons could just use the same old supports and a cowboy set. But right now I'm giga bored with the game and all these negatives have flipped into positives lol

Don't even know how to gear these dot goobers tho. Apparently theres gonna be a new herta nihility cone and that might help a little but atm at least one of them is gonna be stuck with a completely useless 3* statstick. Sure wish nihility got a meshing cogs-level mistake :/
