For the (lvl 30 spoilers) Svarog fight out of Asta, Serval, and Tingyun, would would the best to raise and bring to the fight?

Think I need to bring at least one of those as only one of my current team can take advantage of his weaknesses.

Dan Heng legit will solve the problem hard, even at level 20 since he brings enough elemental break. Save his ult to one-shot break bars. And I had no support otherwise on my team.

How important is it to have a spread of elements to cover weaknesses, putting aside skills that proc off of weakness break or hitting weaknesses? I want to use my Yanqing but March is already my ice character, and I think I may need to have her in my party for most of the time until I get another Abundance or Preservation character.

Only really matters for boss fights, but not having anyone that can reliably break is pretty bad unless you whaled hard to just outmuscle the game.

What level does the game expect you to be at once you leave the station? I've been milling around collecting stuff and doing quests, which made me begrudgingly level my dudes up to 10. But there's lv. 17 FOEs milling around, and I found some 19s. So I'm wondering if it's actually worth my while to bother with those or if I should just get on with it and start my exciting space adventures and come back later.

Hell, I'm not sure I even have enough stuff to level anyone up that high.

You literally run into your first stamina-waster domain for EXP books when you land on the ice planet.

So, level up the Sushang I pulled yesterday. Gotcha. I see that she smushes enemies with a giant leaping chicken, and ordinarily that's more than good enough for me, but what else does she bring to the table?

She's single target pure dps, she has a chance to just do extra attacks after every attack and just keeps building up momentum.

What are some good team comps for the first simulated universe? I went in at like 14 and got mulched by the bosses, levelled up to 20, went back in, and got mulched by the bosses again I just got a little bit further. I guess I can just do other stuff until I unlock ascensions but I feel like I'm missing something.

I haven't done too many rolls yet so I don't have any major gacha characters I'm working from what's free so far.

Uh, maybe get through the story and get the free Natasha.

As someone with Experience on the subject, I can definitely say that this very much feels like Brother Wei Does A Trails Game. Specifically, with the fairly tightly-focused core cast, it feels a bit like Brother Wei Does A Crossbell Game While Also Using The CS Train, which, good taste there, Dawei.

Decided to try this out since I'm always up for a sci fi RPG (and they've been fairly rare recently), and it's been pretty good so far. Did have one concerning issue though, that I've never had a problem with before. Namely, doing the 7GB download had it actually automatically cancelled the first time, as it actually overheated my phone. Never had that happen before with other games, so I'm being somewhat wary as I play through - no more issues so far though.

Haven't done any rolls outside the single tutorial roll so far (pulled Asta), as not entirely sure what I'm looking for yet and the currency is apparently relatively rare.

Special Tickets are for limited units like Seele. Standard tickets are for the standard banner and the beginner banner. Basically throw your standard tickets at the beginner banner until you get a 5 star, and then freely throw any future ones at the standard banner.

It is very funny how March goes 'Oh hey it's Pela' near the end of the Belobog story quests even though I don't think we ever actually directly talked to her and have no reason to care who she is (other than the unique character design and the fact she's been in my party since day 1, of course.)

You talked to Pela at the beginning of the city before meeting Cocolia for the first time.

Is it worth burning the gold Passes on the Light Cone banner or am I better off just saving them for the next special event? Already got what I wanted off the Seele banner.

Or I guess burning them on the Seele banner for Eidolons, but that seems insane.

5 star Cones are even more devalued in HSR than weapons are in genshin

And more characters is way more valued than Genshin because of break system and team comps

Are there any good harmony LCs to look out for for Tingyun? ATM I just have a 4* one that boosts atk for characters of the same element which would be nice in an experimental Tingyun + Serval team but not very relevant to my current Clara team, and a 3* one that's just a simple speed boost for X turns after start of fight.

Kinda tempted to get the harmony LC off the BP even if it is a bit mid.

3 star chorus or meshing cogs?

I played every day in genshin because I liked it, and paid for just Welkin on like 80% of the time. I have most of the 5 stars I want (which is basically missing 6-8 at this point).

If HSR is like Genshin, you will average 50-ish rolls every patch with Welkin and in the long run, get everyone you want.

Also, who is the worst character in the game and why is it Arlan. I cannot figure out what his role is that Serval cannot do better.

Arlan is a late-game DPS that has the unique situation of not using Skill points to maximize damage. He doesn't feel good because no one has good enough relics and/or combo buffers to take advantage.

If you approach this or any other gacha with a "gotta collect all the characters" mindset (which they push you toward, naturally) you're gonna pay out the rear end or be miserable. SR feels, so far, more "fair" than Geshin, in that your freebie roster is actually really good (while GI's is just okay), so there's less of an implied need to pull better characters instead of just the ones you think look or play cool.


I mean, XQ and Bennet are buyable from the shop and Xiangling is free (Alongside DMC is immediately gettable.) Relative to the scale of Genshin, people can absolutely curbstomb genshin without getting what you want 5 star wise.

Having finally run through almost all of the free resources and still in the "cursed to not pull any 5*s before hitting maximum pity" zone, I'm nervously looking at the countdown timer on the Seele banner and beginning to ponder cracking open the emergency fund and burning my starlight for tickets, as much as I don't want to do that.

I think I've built my fire protag wrong because she doesn't do great damage and her shield amount is not huge. What mainstats should I be focusing on for her?

She's OK, but I really only use her for fire reactions because my normal Seele and Pela and Sushang put out way, way more damage. I'm like TB lvl 39 and everyone is level 50 if that matters.

The point of fire mc is to basically keep your team alive in a lot of ways with just 1 skill point. Her shields are small, but they refresh for basically free every turn, and are under the 15% damage reduction for anyone that gets past MC.

Unless they drastically mess with her kit/numbers, Silver Wolf (in 1.1) is going to be at a minimum excellent and probably a significant defensive and offensive buff to literally any team.

They did change numbers. A lot of her debuffs were nerfed both in numbers and duration, and her damage went up instead.
