Took the entire 50 for my 5 star Clara, but she's been fun. Love to have a real tank to pair with March.

ID 600423816 if anyone wants

Same but annoyed that I have to double up on physical because harder poo poo needs Natasha. Wanted Welt purely for attractive dude reasons but Clara has been fun. My luck has been abysmal so far; absolutely nothing earlier than the soft 4* pity at 9 pulls (assuming it's the same as Genshin which seems likely). The game is super fun though and I'm locked into this account because I don't want a separate login for it and Genshin.

It also has a lot of QoL I wish Genshin had. Relics (aka artifacts) can be trashed for the relic xp currency. loving life changer.

Anyways I'm 600206717 if any goons wanna be friends.

Gotta say I way prefer space China over ice world

This is incredibly niche but in the CN dub everyone there sounds like they're in a Chinese historical/fantasy costume drama and I'm loving living for it.

They even use the antiquated phrase for talking about length of time (that equals 2 hours per unit).

I was all excited because I got a 5* on the standard banner,



I cant complain because it seems like a pretty legit healer item.

I also picked this up from standard and was not thrilled though having played Genshin so long, I know eventually I'll be glad I have it. But characters!! At least it was early; like in the 40's. Natasha is rocking it but I wish I had a healer that wasn't physical since my starter 5* is Clara so I'm stuck with two physical characters if I want to survive harder content.

Living vicariously through all y'all pulls cause I'm saving for sexy General Jing Yuan.

Still wish my starter 5* was Welt for the same reason but Clara just demolishes poo poo so hard that it's hard to be that upset. I'm realizing I should take March out in turn-limited content though, because Clara doesn't get hit if poo poo is just frozen and then whoops my DPS is awful. Feels wrong that I'm just cheering for the barefooted little girl to get whacked constantly...

Are you me? Because I also wanted Welt, got Clara, and am waiting for Jing Yuan, (and Loucha.) For a second I thought I could move Landau's Choice (increases likelihood of being hit, reduce damage taken) from March to Clara, but then remembered that light cones are path specific. I wonder if there is a similar destruction light cone.

Yes I am you because I literally had the same double take ("Oh maybe I can put Landau's choice on.... Oh gently caress nevermind, path specific.")

Happy to be not alone in the Welt-Wanter-Clara-Haver-Jing-Yuan-Waiter nation tho! Feeling pretty good about my banked up currency/tickets. Just gotta make the 50/50 (uh oh).

Love how characters hang out in the world and also in your train. Don't forget to talk to them when they come to visit the train.

There's a first time stellar jade reward when they first visit but I'm noticing they also sometimes just hand you 5 jade just because you're friends. :3: I assume there's a daily or weekly limit to that but I'm not gonna say no to more jade for the Jing Yuan fund.

I love the CN track especially since it's a CN game but I'm also incredibly biased since I understand it enough that I get stuff that's lost in translation.

Like how everyone in Xianzhou Luofu talks like they stepped out of a historical drama. And how the researcher you run after at one point loves ending his lines with idioms half-sung in Chinese-opera-style. Also Qingque's mahjong lines make me happy.

I'm never going to stop vouching for the CN track in Hoyo games.

It's a good thing SU exists rather than just the Abyss-equivalent because I just beat every SU available to me at Equilibrium 3 using Clara (still my only 5*) turtle strategy. Just Clara with Asta, Nat and March all at 60 with 60 LCs and somewhat leveled relics. But every elite/boss fight was like an insane number of turns so absolutely not doable for Forgotten Hall. With the right blessings it's slow but autoable.

Also helps that SU is fun. And Clara rules.

Is there any reason to do all those little quests that Pom-Pom gives you? They don't seem to give any rewards (but I still do them any time I go to visit him to upgrade my trailblazer level, just because). I'm guessing there might be a trophy related to them at some point.

When I look at them in my quest log they do give a tiny bit of rewards. Like, a few thousand credits and a green xp item.

Now that I've got Clara all traced out I wonder if I should invest more in supports or try to get a 5* set of the physical damage relic set, or start farming stuff for the EL4 bump.

I've been bouncing around those three options. I mean, I'm mostly waiting to see if I can get Jing Yuan before I'm maxed out on any of his banner 4* which is my stopping point. Kinda just holding pattern until then.

ya, you can get a bit from wiping mobs off the map also but overall you're pretty limited in how much you can get. SU is limited to 100 bosses / day I guess? which is effectively infinite unless you're spending all your free time doing it, dunno how much you get for doing it tho

I think it's 100/week. Which is reachable if you're bored/desperate.

I just do all my SU with elation since my damage dealers are Clara and Jing Yuan.

This does seem to mean I'm suffering in content that wants me to clear in small number of turns and that's kinda annoying. Lightning Lord can only go so fast and Clara needs poo poo to constantly hit her.

Silver Wolf and Seele can burn down the deer pretty well if you can keep them alive. The first half of that fight isn't too bad either if you can backload your good characters.

I don't have either Silver Wolf or Seele but I managed to cobble together better team comps after playing around with prydwen's memory of chaos teams statistics. (Scroll all the way down, they put a bunch of stuff on the same page)

https://www.prydwen.gg/star-rail/memory-of-chaos/

I'm also way more built than I was two cycles ago but I went from 0 stars barely cleared on the deer to last cycle cobbling together 2 to a semi-comfortable 3 on this cycle. Slow but steady and without two of the big meta characters so I feel like that's a win. At 23 stars currently and pretty sure I can eke out 24 before this one ends. I just wish fights didn't take so long.

Dan Shu calling them "celestials" in this update made it suddenly hit me that the Xianzhou isn't just Space China, it's Taoist Heaven populated by ascended superhumans who have transcended both their own humanity and their earthly origins. Which should have been loving obvious since it's called the Xianzhou but forgive me I am dumb.

Yeah they all talk like they're from a Xianxia too. It's great.

Me, a Xianxia fan: this is the best!!!!!

Xianxia is very popular with younger demographics in China so it makes sense that they went there.

I find Welt intensely attractive so unless I get him on a missed 50/50 before I hit 300, I will choose based on sex appeal.

I just got my first 30 star MoC clear last night and I've only been pulling for featured characters I like. Which so far has just been Jing Yuan and Luocha. Clara, Gepard and Yanqing are my standards. I'm glad that, just like Genshin, you are not punished heavily for ignoring meta and just grabbing favorites for the most part.

I'm so excited about Imagine Dragon and Fu Xuan.

Same, have literally everything but a single event. Was two till a couple days ago so progress I guess?

It might be the other side of the Sal and Leo ones. I had to look it up and it's a little absurd but basically the first time you run into them you choose to let one out. Then you are locked into that one unless you choose the shittier option when their event pops up (which is decline reward in favor of resetting the event). Then you have to run into the first part again where you get to make a choice of which one you let out. Let out the one you haven't let out before. And then you can run into the event featuring them and that's a separate event from his brother.

The Luofu has a really good story told in the most baffling way possible, is what it comes down to. How invested you are in reading the ingame books and paying attention to the lore correlates with how much you'll like the Luofu story.

I didn't read any of the books and lore stuff and loved the story but I'm also a Xianxia genre fan which the
Luofu story effectively is.

So it's less anime-brained and more Chinese fantasy brain.

There are achievements for sending stickers to people which is kinda annoying. Forced socializing boo.

One is sending your trailblazer sticker to someone with the other trailblazer gender. So if you received a Caelus sticker from me, I was trying to help. But my partner and I experimented and the cheevo didn't pop if it was sent while the other was offline.

If any other Stelles need the cheevo you can friend me with 600206717 (my in game name is Crim) and send me an in game message that you're a goon who needs the Caelus sticker. You can also spam me with Astral Express stickers for that cheevo (20 of them) or Pom Pom stickers tho the wording on that says "5 friends." I'm okay being spammed.
