The Demogorgon is tired of your silly human bickering!

Looks like the free Herrscher of Sentience event ended a month ago too so I'll probably continue ignoring the game. Someone will make a recap video if HI3 lore becomes more relevant for HSR or GI.

In a lot of games the opposite of this becomes true, where new characters simply outclass older characters at the same job. We've seen some inklings of this already in Star Rail, even - compare Ruan Mei to the older supports - it's just that the content isn't hard enough to disqualify the older characters.

Genshin managed to mostly avoid this (if anything it had an opposite issue where some of its release 4*s were too strong in ways that developers didn't seem to anticipate - like Bennett and Xingqiu), with the closest equivalent being some of the later dendro interaction teams (and those generally aren't reliant on specific limited characters, except maybe Nahida).

I don't think anything was ever released that made a character like Hu Tao (a pretty early 5*) seem weak in comparison, for example. Similarly, I'll be surprised if Star Rail has any main DPS come out in the next couple years that are drastically stronger than DHIL or Jingliu.

Ugh. I went to YouTube and searched for Hinkai 3rd Impact anniversary since that was what was talked about and I saw that bunny girl music/dance video. (And apparently there are bunny girl skin for sale too?)

Yeah nah, when a game go all in excessive fan service, I'm dipping out. Not interested at all.

If your goal is to get more goons interested in HI3, I think it would be far more effective to have a place where they can actually find more discussion about it. Clogging up this thread doesn't do them any favors either.

The real power creep is the supports. The dps characters are only about 10% extra damage on average, with DHIL and Jingliu still on top.

Yeah, I'm sorry, I tried but the big lore posts are just impenetrable. And even the more concise Honkai news that gets dropped here like check out the new character banner is just confusing because it's for a different game.

I like the HI3 lore dumps, but I think I'm in the minority. It's nice to hear about a tangentially related game that I'll never play.

Just ban all discussion of HI3 and Genshin from the thread. Easier that way.

The Genshin thread was able to put up with Honkai posting before this game came out so I don't really see why it's such a sore subject for people. If there are like ten paragraph diatribes about all the deep lore connections I guess that's annoying, but if people are just like hey there's something new happening in that kind of related game by the same company that doesn't seem so horrible to scroll past.

Aside from the huge lore dumps earlier most HI3 posting as been breif so it's cool. And this game is more tied it than Genshin

As for a thread if people want to make one just post!

Most of the Honkai dumps in this thread happen when it's relevant to Star Rail. Like Otto when Luocha was introduced and Raiden Mei with Acheron. Or Ei? And that's why I like it, because it adds a bit of lore to characters that otherwise I wouldn't care much about.

its fine to talk about honkai impact when its relevant to this game but getting too much into specifics is w/e

also at this point there have been more discussions about making a thread for it than actual discussions about impact itself

if someone makes a more detailed OP ill edit the OP it was just annoying seeing people go in circles about making a thread all day

Fu Xuan. Her two finger basic attack is done with her left hand.

going through everyone, i think the lefties are qingque, tingyun, ruan mei, fu xuan, and black swan? tingyun's always holding her fan in her left hand and poses with it as such, fu xuan as mentioned does all her pointing with her left hand, and black swan always seems to have her tarot cards in her left, not her right

I appreciate this. I'm gonna speculate Aventurine is also a lefty because he wears his watch on the right arm.

I’m actually kind of glad I got Gepard’s LC on standard now. I was having trouble in MoC with the ape and putting March in the team using that LC she face tanked so much damage. She’s not even built all that well - last patch I took her from early game build which was like lvl 60 to 75 and her traces now are only a mix of 6-7 and put some garbage (but on set) relics in her, but she’s already saved my rear end effectively with that low investment. Now I want to properly build her and see how much more she can do.
