installed this today and I'm having fun so far, haven't played any of the Honkai / Genshin games though so I'm a bit lost on the setting and all the talk about Aeons and Antimatter Legions... But I'm guessing I'm supposed to be given the amnesiac MC

I will probably just F2P this, but how likely am I to get enough Special Passes to get a 5* before the Seele banner runs out? My experience with most gacha games is that you can get a 5* every month or so but starting on launch might help?

I am dumb and have March 7 on my team for ice planet even though most enemies have ice resist.

She feels like the best support until you get Natasha, tbh

Also her pinkie pie attitude is kinda endearing after a while. I hope her whole "being found in an iceberg" backstory doesn't have too dark a twist

Is there a way to get a battle report after combat to see who did most damage / most healing / etc? I find that useful on other games to gauge how useful some characters or builds are.

I've somehow lucked into getting all the 4* which means I have decision paralysis of who to build up outside the F2P crowd. Tingyun and Pela definitely seem like the obvious choices for getting buffs/debuffs, but then I'm wondering if I should build Sushang if I already have Clara as a Physical DPS.

I can't tell if I'm spectacularly lucky or unlucky that all three 5* drops i've gotten have been Clara.

building tall is very viable. having variety is nice but 4*s are very capable for all content even at low Eidolon counts. having one real strong 5* goes a long way and Clara being a unique kind of Counter unit is p good

OK, good to know. Clara and Svarog definitely hit like a truck, so yeah I'll build up some other characters in the mean time. Time to try out Tingyun as a support!

I used to play AFK Arena and it did feel like that was more generous with giving out their Jade equivalent, but that was a much more pull focused game.

I finally pulled a 5* that isn't Clara, and it's someone who I didn't really think I'd want, Yanqing

Reading up on builds he definetely seems powerful with the right kit, something like a turtle team with March/FireMC/Natasha/Yanqing?

Took about 80 pulls to get Silver Wolf sorted, at least got a few neat LCs along the way. Geniuses Repose seems really good for Serval for one thing

I also got Bronya's... Light Cone from the Standard Banner.

Having an odd issue with Simulated Universe; I started one of the new-to-me difficulty levels (having recently hit TB65), whiffed the opening blessings pulls, and decided to be cheesy and quit/restart (meaning, full-on "finalize and quit", not "save for later").

Except now, no matter how I start a new SU run (same/different world, difficulty level, starting team, quit out of SU, quit the app entirely, etc etc) I no longer get the initial blessing/curio/currency screen. Even after an encounter or two!

Is this a known issue? First time I've seen a bug that resisted restarts of the app.

I've found this as well and I'd bet its a bug. I get it after first fight every time.

It's an intentional anti-cheese measure. I believe you have to either clear all of the first room's enemies or move to the second for it to give you the starting bonus on the next run.

If they didn't want me to cheese, maybe they should try giving me a blessing in my path before I hit the first boss room!

it's an odd economy, I can see the value for getting passes but personally I really wanted Something Irreplacable and wasn't getting any luck on the Standard Banner (although I did pull In the Name of The World which will be a good fit for Kafka).

We're nowhere near the end game of the story tbh, so getting your fav character now and coming back when there's a good amount of content might well be a good idea. I doubt HSR will go into EoS within a few months like other gacha games do.

My 50/50 was Gepard so I'm not going to cry too hard, but that's pretty much all my Jade gone to get Kafka. Looks like I won't be getting anyone else until Jingliu, but I have more than enough characters now for a varied MoC run so I'm happy.

my issue with the phantylia fight is her skill steal adds don't count as attacks for triggering followups, so gently caress you if Clara is your only dps!

I've found Clara can keep up, especially on the later phases when Phantylia is attacking a lot more. But oof, I tried the fight with Nat/FireMC instead of Luocha and it's really not enough sustain, that auto-heal is so valuable and his ult helps to shred the flowers.

The drat ape on MoC 6 is an absolute bastard. FireMC with low speed as a tank was my only option.

Your teams don't look they're tuned for the current round, although I think a well-built Serval with decent support should be able to handle the first room of MoC 7, while Welt/Sushang might be a good pair against Bronya. I have built up Kafka and she definitely carried on the last few rooms though so you might enjoy just getting her worked up now so the next MoC session is a breeze - according to Prwyden it's focused on DoT.

At the start of each Cycle, all enemies currently inflicted with DoTs are immediately dealt DMG equal to 200% of the original DMG from all their DoT effects.

yeah, Fire MC makes for a decent tank if you don't have Gepard. The other thing with the ape is to keep an eye on when you kill the dogs, as that will make the Ape hit twice in a row

in that case it sounds like the taunt isn't working at all, the monkey's just switching targets because fmc was the most recent to use a skill

Yeah that's basically her use, she's a great budget tank if you don't have Gepard. Also her fire Ultimate is great on the mobs.

I can't for the life of me acquire the final remaining 2* Nihility Blessing. It's the only one I still haven't gotten, despite trying for a bunch of runs now. Not sure why I'm having such a hard time coming across it; I guess just really bad luck.

I'm guessing it has unlocking Suspicion stacks as a prerequisite, but I've also been trying to do that as early as possible.

yeah bunch of blessings are unlocked by picking the 3* that enables a debuff / buff, and ime that means the other 2* still rarely appear
