1 account with himeko on 50th pull

1 account with bailu but only 20 pulls in

Do I just give up on the Himeko account and stick with the Bailu account?

i dont think either is objectively better so its up to you, you're only guaranteed 1 5* so your extra pulls on bailu acct might come to nothing. meta-wise bailu is rated higher but himeko is rad + very good in fights with multiple fire-weak enemies

Well I was playing the Bailu account to get some more pulls (I didn't know about the banner only guaranteeing one 5* and not a 5* on the 50th pull) and did another 10pull. Got Bronya. I guess this one is a keeper.

The robot showed up in more than one sequence. It might be a mini-game like the circuit connector one that shows up here and there.

Spend standard tickets whenever you want to, no real reason to hoard them. that said, the standard pool will update with new 4*s as they release, at least if they follow Genshin. And Genshin added a decent number of 4*s.

What's the deal with these floating robots and the memory bubbles?

For Memory Bubbles I've got that if you try to touch them they say something like "find someone who knows about them." If you talk to Herta standing near the train platform she enables the option to touch them. But after touching a bubble the screen just spits out a wall of text on a black background and I've been either too stoned to read them or too tired to care. There doesn't seem like there's a menu to track these bubbles but I'm sure there must be?

There are also those floating robot things that let you force a shutdown and then they do nothing. Haven't figured out what they're for either.

Yeah I was surprisingly invested into finding the bubbles once I finally found the right Herta to unlock them. They're like someone on the writing team wanted an excuse to write out 20 short horror scifi stories, I enjoyed them a lot.

is there a way to re-read them in game? when the screen turns black and i get a bunch of dialog lines my eyes just kinda gloss over and ignore everything until it goes away.

e: Fake/real edit this is kinda the thing I dislike about HSR so far. I'm just here for the story but so far I don't really care much about the story so unless things pick up soon I'm prolly out. I still don't really understand why I'm on the ice planet. I mean, I get what I'm doing after landing on here ("helping the people") but why am I here in the first place? I hope this game isn't just a sequence of planet-of-the-weeks: ie, goto new planet, gain trust of the natives by helping them out with menial chores, kill the big bad, goto new planet.

It's not a good sign story-wise when you forget why you're here because the game keeps mixing in a bunch of useless sidequests to tell me about the day-in-the-life of a kid with a pirate name that I don't care about.

Who is Kafka and why should I care. Now that I lost the 50/50 this banner I guess I should decide who to go for before I keep pulling.

Team: Dan Heng (DPS), Bronya (make Dan Heng go brrrrr), Bailu (heals), March (shields)

I just got Fire MC so I think she’ll replace March because I don’t think I need 2 heal/shield supports.

But I also just pulled Gerard so if I really needed shields I’d replace March/MC with him.

I was hoping to replace Dan Heng with a 5* main dps.

E: but I also know from Genshin and other games that support characters are almost always better to go for than the carry of the week

some of these quests are boring because they seem like they should be quick/doable in 5 minutes but then you get there and there's this long chain of events that takes way more than 5 minutes.

For an actual post, what are all the things I need to do before the end of this week that will get reset? I already bought the 5+5 passes from the shop using wish currency, am trying to hit AR30 so that I can do the higher lvl version of this dungeon that i get 3 clears per week, and I guess go as far as I can in the sim world. Is there anything else that resets?

Oh god what the hell, I started a Sim Universe run on W3 and it's asking me for stamina to get loot. The nice thing is you can convert 40 stamina into a stamina thing and use that to claim sim universe rewards. Doesn't seem like you can "use" them though to regain 40 stamina.

Honestly the big bottleneck for me has been the class materials. The stuff like broken swords and keys and shields and such. You need so many of them for a multiple different things...

Have you bought them from the shops yet? You can get 3x of each from the ship and 10x from ice world.



I’m stuck on Simulated World 3 as well waiting for more stamina. I wish I could just skip forward through all these fights though. I more or less just auto everything up to the boss and it’s only the boss that’s giving me issues.

Star Rail definitely affecting my sleep, sleep like 1-2 hours later after to work to play.
Wake up 1-2 hours earlier to play.

How should I classify the simulated universe in terms of gameplay? What's the equivalent of it in genshin? It doesn't seem like the Abyss challenge runs to me.

I appreciate that even if the support characters don't do much real damage, they still do good bar break damage to pave the way.

Glad it looks like that you can send characters on assignments and you can still use them in gameplay. I remember for the longest time in the beginning, when you sent characters to errands, you couldn't use them in gameplay, they just get sent to timeout.

It’s a roguelike mode and it’s super common in gachas. It IS the equivalent of Genshin’s Abyss. Other games call it a labyrinth or dive or some variant of never ending dungeon or whatever but it’s all the same concept: challenge stages to get buffs while carrying over the health/status of your units to the next stage.

There's more characters that actually want that now and in a turn based system you can't truly 100% avoid getting hit so defensive stats aren't anywhere near as useless as they are in Genshin.

This is a turn-based game with a speed stat so there is in fact a way to 100% avoid getting hit and it's speed. Speed mainstat boots and speed on everything! Take 5 turns before the enemy gets a chance to go.

I haven’t used that character so idk what the guide is advising, but if the skill is bad and the guide is saying don’t use it then what’s the problem? I mean if I wrote a guide on Magicarp it would be a 1 sentence guide “don’t use magicarp, evolve it asap”.

Her gimmick is that she's a mahjong player and her skill is a redraw to try and get a set of 4 tiles which upgrades her regular attack into a hard hitter. It's a gacha within a gacha, fun dopamine rush.

I just feel like if you're not even going to engage with the gimmick of a character that actually makes them fun to play I dunno why you would even bother writing a guide in the first place.

I mean people that read character guides prolly just want to make number go up, and the “funness” of a character’s ability doesn’t make number go up so it’s a non-factor.

E: It’s a guide. Just tell me how to play the character in the most efficient way. It seems like that’s what the guide’s author is doing so again I don’t see the issue.

I beat W3 and I have 7, so I think you can buy your first weapon after beating W4.

But hey, it’s more fun to spend the currency on gacha tickets because it’s a gacha game and it’s fun to gamble using free resources. Yay fun!
