How are people hitting 100k? I can get 55k on the current one with Jingliu on hunt, but 100k is insane. What builds can do it?

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

I used DHIL + Bronya with Propagation, though mine is also E2. I imagine Blade can do it too? Maybe QQ too, though she can't take advantage of the Advance Forward on Break blessing (without SW)

Topaz basically spams Basic attacks so she fits with any other dps regardless of follow up attacks.

Drop all your sustain and max out on supports. You want to 0 cycle the first three waves or so. Bronya helps a lot if you have her.

From the Herta store, are texture of Memories or Solitary Healing worth picking up? I have fall of an aeon maxed, and cruising at S1. Or should I grab the upgrade items for Cruising?

Texture is alright for Fu if you don't have her personal one or Moment of Victory, and Fireblazer if you're using her.

I've got moment of victory on Gepard and Landaus Choice on Fu. I can't S5 texture right away but maybe that'll be the way to go.

Luckily, I *did* save your old avatar. Fucked around and found out indeed.
if you're really desperate for points, going hunt is good. more turns means more damage and you can cycle your carry's turn even more with the resonance (you'll want to grab the light-hunting celestial arrow one, of course).

You miss out on specialized buffs and you probably don't want to do it with daniel/qq (needs more sp). Non-atk scaling carries and characters that don't do burst damage on their turns probably need not apply either, but I haven't tried it with follow up dot team.

I know comparing this game to Genshin is overdone, but it's really striking how the Aetherium Wars event felt like an entire adventure with some pretty amusing dialog and its word count is smaller than Genshin events where basically nothing happens.

Three Rich Fire Women is a legit team, especially since Asta can be built as a sub dps (and that's by far my favorite build on her) so Topaz is really the perfect sp generator for the team. (Because she actually does damage while just existing)

Funny how Fire seems to be the element of wealth in HSR while in Genshin its Geo and Cryo for the ladies with one outlier as an Electro.

The lower word count is shocking because if you asked me I'd say it's one of the more substantial events I've done in a long time. The most recent Genshin one that comes to mind is the tournament that Kaveh starred in.

Thats definitely the most eventful one in ages. Somehow also they seem to have managed to keep the flagship event for 4.2 a secret in that game in spite of the delay which is either kind of impressive or I missed the usual leak.

Genshin also seems to have a habit of using and focusing events around what I consider some of the least exciting characters in the game too. If theres one more event that focuses on "The Boys" and Collei again I swear....

the word count is lower than the recent genshin poetry event by comparison.

While that event just had nothing characters starring in it it felt positively brisk. Whatever the Aetherium Wars writers did is now seriously impressive to me.

They really did take all the feedback from genshin and put it in star rail lmao. I feel like the direct translations are way snappier too. Wow it is possible to translate Chinese to English without blowing up the word count

Yeah, I've noticed even on some simple sentences the genshin translation just decides to...add a bunch of words for no reason? Ex "ok, lets go!" -> "ok everyone, we should go check on <repeat location from last dialog box>"

Literally happened to me. I still got 85K in the trial, but I could probably have gotten 100K if Hunt blessings actually bothered to drop.

So I think Honkai 3rd, Star Rail and Genshin all get their livestreams on Friday. Hoyofest lives on into the fall. Seems to be an expectation of an immenent Ruan Mei splash art tomorrow or at least somebody unseen up to this point in splash art form or possibly any form.

Thankfully. I'm looking forward to being able to bank some pulls and finish building some characters. If Argenti's weapon looks good, then I might pull for it. But I really don't want a new character for some time after Clara.

I'm pretty much just waiting on Hanabi, though LCs are looking more attractive now. Just invested a bunch of resources into gearing up QQ, Pela, and Gepard so that's fine anyway.

With Topaz being good with follow-up characters, I have to ask-- is she any good with Kafka or are they not a good combo? I didn't see her mentioned, so I wasn't sure if it was just a case of "poo poo combo, and everyone knows it."

They might pull a rabbit out of a hat with something unexpected, but kind of same aside from the two judge sisters. If Argenti is like George De Sand from G Gundam then he'll be alright, but he could also be completely lame instead. Don't know enough yet about 1.6 and beyond thought to be quite honest, just 1.5. I don't even know if Ruan Mei in 1.6 is even actually a thing either, but may know in another 5-6 hours or so.
