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

An uncountable number, to be sure.
I'm going to pull for Topaz because evil ruthless ladies are cool.

Edit: I'm not going to GET Topaz since I only have like 50 pulls saved up and no guarantee, but I'm going to to choose her banner while pulling for Guinafen.

This Jingliu quest really should have been part of the main story to give context to the Cloud Quintet and everything surrounding all their deal because man, this quest is long.

I will say those IPC goons hit like loving trucks for some reason. Not looking forward to every MoC/SU Event being stocked with them and the ape from now on.

Jing Liu in 20 pulls. First time I'm coming out substantially ahead of pity.

Well I used my guarantee on Jingliu so time to give Topaz a pass and save for Huo Huo/Silverwolf. Pretty stocked on ridiculous damage now with her, DHIL, Kafka, and Seele so back to pulling for support.

Not today, space capitalism!

On the one hand Topaz's whole deal is still pretty evil. I feel like she could have at least given them numbers and time for a proper vote on, you know, selling the entire planet into indentured servitude and the civil war that would likely come with.

On the other hand she has an adorable pet pig that is also a treasure radar, and she is very hot.

So I for one am still going to roll for her.
(Already didn't have a full guarantee saved up before Jingliu though.)

I finally got my first 30-star MoC thanks to Jingliu.

Stage 9 took a few attempts because people kept dying with Lynx as a solo sustain. I got it in the end by bringing in Fireblazer, but I was about to come complain that Lynx is now the only weak link left in my team, because she isn't quite good enough to do the job alone. Then I noticed I've had her carrying some random level 1 light cone around for who knows how long. I now consider myself a Honkai: Star Rail challenge run expert. Ask me anything.

I'm lukewarm on Jingliu but my Sampo and Tingyun are E0 (QQ E6) so I thought I'd snag some Eidolons if I was unlucky.

30 pulls and only one Sampo Eidolon. I think I'll just save up for later from here.

Also the topaz quest ended about how I expected it to but not why I suspected it to, which was vaguely interesting. Expected the scrappy crew saving the local park from the developer ending, but not for Topaz to explain that the reason she went so hard wasn't because she's a lovely capitalist (though she is, bless her) but because she was conflating it with her own childhood and home planet and that she'd definitely overstepped

Topaz is definitely someone who saw her home nearly die and be saved when she was little, and has completely internalized the reason why it was saved as good without seeing or acknowledging any harm that came of that decision. Moreover, she has survivorship bias because she managed to rise through the ranks to the elite of the corp and can live as comfortable a lifestyle she likes as far from her homeworld as possible, to the point she doesn't have to care about the occasional hit to her income whenever she needs to assuage her conscience.

How many people on her homeworld weren't so lucky, who can't enjoy the improved environment of their world because they live crammed like sardines in a tiny apartment and spend all their waking hours slaving for their corporate masters?

As cool and pretty and strong as Jingliu is, her ult animation makes me feel like I've been hit by a flashbang every time. May finally push me into enabling that anti-epilepsy mode they added.

love Topaz's Frieza energy.

i am interested in a Fire Hunt character, but feel like the buff to followup attacks (which honestly occur far less than everything else) has to be huge to offset a strong generic buffer like just throwing a bronya on a blade every turn.

I did the thing where you pull even if you don’t care about the 5-star. I got QQ E4 and now I no longer need to farm the blue cheese in SU., or pull again for a month.

I just want to thank the obsessive QQ fan(s) ITT for repeated QQ posts; she was L20 a couple weeks ago and now she’s about to be my most developed character. Tasty!
