30 rolls is all I could spare for Long Dan, and it wasn't to be. Alas.

Decided to do a 10 pull just in case a miracle occured. But it didn't :(

BUT, I did get March e5, and now going for e6 seems like an interesting idea. She can already mostly solo sustain up until like MoC ~7ish, I wonder if she, Nat, and maybe Lynx can do everything on their own. I mean, it's not like I'd be sad to pick up dragon Dan...

I will never log offshut up.


I had to suffer to get Daniel. Lost 50/50 to Bailu now E2, and then had to go all the back to get him. Wasn't a total wash because I got E6 Yukong out of it. Light cone was also nearly a disaster but I got a double event to save losing 75/25 for the third time in a row. Of course this makes my problem of 'too many cool characters, not enough stamina even loving worse but :shrug:

Won 50/50 on the 3rd Daniel copy :toot:

I might actually go for the LC now since I'll have the rest of 1.3's jades to spare

Yesterday was the first day I didn't log in. I forgot about the update. It occurred during my entire evening, so I never got a chance. It was nice to wake up to 240+ energy.

Luckily, I *did* save your old avatar. Fucked around and found out indeed.
update: I forgot I'd pulled to Clara on Blade's banner so I still have yet to win a 50/50.

Oh well, I got dan and that's what matters

Somehow the story updates seem to get shorter every chapter. Like I honestly really don't get it in comparison to Genshin and Honkai 3rd considering.....

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
I think the basic plan as seen in patches 1.1 and 1.2 is to have alternating story and non-story patches. This patch having story at all is an exception, and given how it was basically a short epilogue to the previous patch it makes the most sense to me that it was originally planned to be part of that but shifted backwards for whatever reason. And the next patch will be more involved since it'll be the introduction to a new planet.

Incidentally, it also would have made way more sense for Luka's quest to be in the patch where he was introduced, instead of letting you pull him without having any idea who he was.

I’m excited for these SU updates at least. And we’ve got another event starting tomorrow.

In their revised announcement they also mentioned the aurum event will be available all at once instead of in stages.

Also planar fissure event on the 15th.

Why don't they let us use double Trailblazer then? It's unfair.

Dragon elf-boy Daniel does seem really good. Requires a specific setup due to how hungry skill point wise he is though.

And I doubt it’d work well in auto so I think I’m just holding till Fu.

Herta Destruction LC is actually really good on Dan.

Also lol that they moved every event up this patch because the story mission is like 10 minutes.

Yeah well getting that one's not an option for me since I'm a psycho gamer whos pent the herta bucks on tickets way back and I ain't waiting 8 weeks for an LC S1 at this point.

Incredibly annoying that it unequips everything if you need to swap around (I wanted to play with destruction for a bit last week)

Coutnerpoint: I'm pretty sure in story Dragon Dan is just gonna be Dragon Dan from this point on, whereas it's specifically a skill of the Trailblazer that they can attune themselves to different paths whose Aeons they've made contact with

Way better than genshin where you have to go to a specific area to do it at least

Dragon Dan in his trial kind of feels like "yellow damage Qingque without the RNG" which is neat I guess. I don't really feel compelled to pull for him though.

Imaginary hunt character when? (watch that be the next MC iteration)

Agreed. As soon as I pull a second tank, Stelle is going back to baseball bat thug mode. But I wish it would save your gear loadout when you switch.

There are achievements for sending stickers to people which is kinda annoying. Forced socializing boo.

One is sending your trailblazer sticker to someone with the other trailblazer gender. So if you received a Caelus sticker from me, I was trying to help. But my partner and I experimented and the cheevo didn't pop if it was sent while the other was offline.

If any other Stelles need the cheevo you can friend me with 600206717 (my in game name is Crim) and send me an in game message that you're a goon who needs the Caelus sticker. You can also spam me with Astral Express stickers for that cheevo (20 of them) or Pom Pom stickers tho the wording on that says "5 friends." I'm okay being spammed.

He can swap his form back. He's Dan in the short epilogue story quest instead of Daniel. I think it would've been way cooler to have him be Daniel from here on out but :shrug:

An Imaginary Hunt is leaked already but he's most likely still some ways away

You do it specifically AT teleport points (based on which country you're in since they're all elemental god statues) but it's still a pain because there's a lot more wilderness in Genshin.

I feel like he's going to be default Dan like 99% of the time from here on out, since that represents embracing his new self aboard the Express while there's no particular reason to go dragon mode once he's off the Luofu.

Yeah, it's mostly just a shame because Daniel is cooler. Also means that March might reject her inevitable power up form whenever that happens.

Thankfully Genshin made sure half the MC versions suck rear end, so it's a tedious swap mechanic you'd barely use.
