I continue to be trolled by the Quantum relics. My best crit rate chests that haven't been fed into the amazing +15 that I am currently using, contrasted with some of the crit damage chest pieces that I have had drop. I wonder if the game is trying to tell me those 4 stat crit damage chests will roll all 5 times into crit rate. I'm not quite there yet.

How are people using so much SP with Huohuo? My Huohuo almost never uses her skill and can keep the entire party fully healed on Talent+LC alone.

On the DHIL team he's casting his Ult so often that she's completely SP positive.

Edit: Maybe it's because people didn't pull her LC and don't realize it's so insanely good.

I do not, in fact, have her LC.

I also forgot Yukong has a super fast sprint Technique, saves a lot of time running around!

I can’t think of a single 5 star that I actively regret pulling for— I haven’t used Seele for months but she carried me through those first few banners like she did for quite a few people, I imagine. Everyone else sees at least some use, though with Acheron I’m pulling out the Kafka/BS wombo combo less often than I used to. I guess people have turned on Luocha now but he’s just so easy to throw in anywhere and I got a double drop for his E1 so he’s contributing some attack too.

The nature of gacha games is to eventually have a massive horde of powerhouses you barely use because you got better ones, griping about it feels weird to me.

The outcome of that spoiler section is 100% the plot hook which will be yanked when it's time to give TB their Hunt path. I know there was chatter about how we probably won't go back to the Luofu again as part of the MSQ; but conservation of storytelling says if you spend all this time saying:

1. The Xianzhou fleet are The Hunt People
2. The TB is going to get every path eventually
3. We left the Luofu without getting Hunt

Yeah, we're going back. Maybe not the same ship, but we're not done with Space China.

people weren't doubting ever returning, they were doubting there'd be an entire other ship planet with the same culture/design as the xianzhou luofu

Basically all you need to know about Luocha honkai-lore-wise is laid out for you in his character quest: Welt, who is explicitly the HI3 Welt just out and travelling the universe now gets one look at this dude and immediately goes Oh poo poo. He takes the time to explain to us that he's aware people are different out here in the universe compared to the versions he knows but that dude was Bad loving News (and he was).

The game pulls an expected subversion then when in that same character quest it turns out Luocha actually seems to be this nice fellow who helped out some local civilians and the whole thing was a false alarm! Then when we check back in on the Luofu briefly pre-Penacony the game then subverts the subversion - turns out, Luocha brought the Stellaron onto the Luofu in the first place, kickstarting the entire arc, as part of a grander plan to get Luocha and Jingliu arrested. Due to the severity of the offense, they will be brought to face judgement on another one of the Xianzhou ships in front of their highest authorities..

The outcome of that spoiler section is 100% the plot hook which will be yanked when it's time to give TB their Hunt path. I know there was chatter about how we probably won't go back to the Luofu again as part of the MSQ; but conservation of storytelling says if you spend all this time saying:

One more detail is the Welt and Acheron conversation that explicitly says that doppelgangers broadly speaking have similar natures. Not to say that Luocha is explicitly evil but he's apparently just a schemer who will stab you in front with a smile no matter whether he's good or bad.

He says they have the same faces, familiar names and fate generally makes them walk similar paths, but they can have completely different personalities actually. In Luocha’s quest he even points out that it’s possible for there to be a variant of March 7th who is a bloodthirsty pirate.

There is a reason why Raiden Ei is nothing like Raiden Mei personality wise and Acheron is like an older, more jaded and traumatized Raiden Mei. Or why HSR Seele is brash, hot blooded and loves fighting when she’s shy and reserved in HI3. Or why Yanqing is a stupid lovely coplet that nobody likes instead of a violent drunkard murder hobo who cheats on his wife who nobody likes.

I think Robin’s song is a bit too repetitive and it gets stuck in my head too easily for me to roll (tho i like it quite a bit, woooOEEooooaw review your definitionnn~) but if they pulled a Transistor I’d be begging the gacha gods to win it. If you give me “Robin in the party hums or sings along to the background music of each fight” and I can farm to a cute pop cover of Wildfire, then I’d be delighted.

OK, hypercarry Critka is hilarious. Also, the way Tingyun works is pretty funny.

It's a bit skewed by the current MoC buff. But hypercarry crit build Kafka bodies Yanqing in the same amount of cycles as my best DoT build. It's also as fast as my Mid Yuan can kill his protege. It would be even better if I had a crit build in the Prisoner set online.

Well, I did mean nature rather than personality. Raiden Mei is a very disciplined lightning sword lady who is ferociously protective of her friends and she has a very soft side to her around familiar faces. Acheron was too, except she lost all her friends so all she has left is the sword but she still takes the time to pull random strangers out of being sucked into nihility. In Genshin she is split into two people, Makoto who is a warm and friendly person and Ei who is the stolid warrior. Unlike Acheron's story, the kind side of Genshin's Raiden Mei literally died leaving only the warrior behind and that's why Inazuma gets all hosed up. "If saving you is a sin then I'll gladly become a sinner" is basically the inherent nature of any Raiden Mei.

HSR Seele is just the inverse of Genshin Mei, a blended personality of both Seeles together in one person. And Yanqing is like idk, 8 Xianzhou years old or something he's not old enough to be that poo poo yet.

Luocha brought "the cancer of all worlds" onto the Xianzhou Luofu as part of a plot to gain an audience with the leaders of Xianzhou. That's literally a world ending calamity just brazenly used as a tool in a grander scheme (killing Yaoshi) and perfectly in line with the kind of gambits that Otto pulls.

Bronya is similar to APHO Bronya in her reserved, responsible nature while Silver Wolf is younger Bronya in her gremlin gamer stage. They're both expressions of what Mihoyo has written as fundamental traits of Bronya Zaychik.

I’ve never had any real sp issues with her either, and she’s usually sp positive (1 skill, 2 normals) but yeah I have her LC too. It’s extremely good with Gallagher as well, and I can’t imagine its value will go down in the future. The more ults the more free heals.

I'd like to build a FUA team but I only have Ratio right now and am maybe pulling for Aventurine. I have like no sustains aside from fireblazer so even without FUA Aventurine seems nice unless I magically get Gepard sometime. I've got a DoT team (Kafka, Black Swan, Ruan Mei, Luocha), DHIL Team (DHIL, Luocha, Sparkle, Tingyun), and Acheron Team (Ach, Guin, Pela, Gallagher) so far. I pulled for Luocha because I was tired of only have Natasha and Lynx for heals and Gallagher feels great on my Ach team at E6.
