你们准备好去上海星光了吗?
I want a Sporkle ID. Tingyun would be fine too.
I think I'll skip Constance, I can always roll on a rerun with hindsight of how much she helps break stay afloat outside of shill content.
>>1388336 How invested are you in break? That's really the decider. I have an E2 FF. At this point Dahlia is basically a requirement or all that investment was for nothing.
(37.58 KB 483x483)56765656.jpg
>>1388336 I will go for 1 copy to try her I have e2FF and e2 Fugue already tho so I am pretty invested
>>1388336 i'm probably gonna let my break team die and just go all in on the yae team instead
>>1388422 >and just go all in on the yae team instead What if you don't like her in this game? I don't understand people that just slurp expies no matter what
>>1388474 they can't possibly mess up the easy slamdunk right haha
>>1388478 I don't play other hoyo games, so I have no idea what she's like in those. Is Acheron an emotionless schizo in HI3?
>>1388336 I'll definitely get her. I'd rather cover my ass with different team archetypes than going all in on specific teams and then get fucked over when MHY decided to shill anything else.
>>1388481 she punches kiana in the face or whatever in the webm i saw posted so probably not
>>1388392 >How invested are you in break? That's really the decider. I have E0S0 Rappa, Boothill, Fugue and RM. I almost rolled Fugue E1 but I smelled bullshit when around the time of her rerun enemies started having suspicious slivers of toughness left on them after attacking. They still work well in "break content" (the puppets, the TVs, the earier AS bosses) even in AA so I didn't feel the need to play these games with Hoyo just to bruteforce stages I can use other teams on. >I have an E2 FF. At this point Dahlia is basically a requirement or all that investment was for nothing. And that, the whole archetype has that smell of a sunk cost treadmill and unlike, for example, FUA and Cipher you can't even use break specialists on other teams.
>>1388516 Cipher is quite literally the only "FUA specialist" that you can use on other teams. If you're going to count that, then Ruan Mei the "break specialist" was the best generalist support for almost a year.
>>1388474 Yae Sexo in Jenshin has a fun personality and Yae Sakura in HI3 looks cute so I'm interested. Though I've heard in HI3 Sakura is a depressed bitchy dyke so if the expy is that I'd change my mind. I don't understand people that just get butthurt over expies no matter what.
>>1388532 >I don't understand people that just get butthurt over expies no matter what. I'm butthurt because I'm not interested in a character before seeing them in game? Literally all you have is a name from another game. There's no design, no role in the story, literally nothing about them in the game yet.
>>1388532 i dont know Hi3rd yae too good but what I remember from playing the story until Elysian Realm end last year she is kinda depressed because her little sister became a Herrscher and needed to be killed
>>1388523 You can use Robin on any ATK scaling team, you can use Sigga on any team that doesn't need healers, on top of that there are characters that aren't "FUA specialists" that still work well with FUA like Lingsha, Hyacine and DanTe or you can forego FUA specialists altogether and run a FUA DPS as a hypercarry. >Ruan Mei I'm not even sure the devs were thinking about a specialised break team when making her but you're right, RM is a great generalist, even her break-related effects are good for any team in AS. Lingsha is another break character that has utility on other teams. The other break supports lean too much into break, the most you can do with them without just running break is running some meme form of it like break Anaxa.
>>1388583 I wouldn't even consider Robin a FUA specialist, she doesn't have a FUA, and she has action advance which some FUA don't care about (Yunli/Clara). I think Ruan Mei is from a time where DoT (Kafker) was supposed to be doing damage by breaking enemies. Kafka's eidolons before her release had increased break effect and efficiency, and Silver Wolf was obviously supposed to work with her by adding weakness.
>>1388584 If Cipher is a FUA specialist then so is Robin. She straight up increases FUA crit damage with her ult, FUA leverages her additional damage best and charges her ult best with their frequency of actions.
My ID is my mommy
Now that it's finally over, did you rike Amphoreus?
>>1388596 I never called Cipher a FUA specialist in the first place, that was you...
>>1388612 Not really, I liked the overall story, but I hated how it was presented. Led to me rolling the least characters of any area so far

>>1388612 I honestly loved 3.0-3.4 (plus the reunion with Nano) and most of the characters. 3.5-3.7 felt like a slog and unsatisfactory. I will really, really miss the Heirs though. That being said if 4.x has one more hand-on-chest animation I'm gonna arson Dawei's yacht.
(177.44 KB 2048x1150)17807875.jpg
>>1388612 8/10 for me my favourite scene was probably the reunion with March and while I really like Mem and Cyrene I dont think they did a perfect job with her especially her animations, she is a fine addition but she had so much more potential, I wanted to see her interactions with the heirs too but I guess the story they were going for doesnt really allow it yet, maybe if she returns in the future. Also 3.4 climax was probably the high point and I dont even like Phainon but it was just well executed.
>>1388612 it was fine, 7.5/10
>>1388612 Better than Penacony. The story should have been longer though.

>>1392222 All thats missing is an Ack one
No preload?
>>1392184 Is it just me or are people missing the forest for the trees with Dahlia? Everyone from content creators to every theorycrafter seems to act like her only purpose is elevating old DPSs. No one seems to be considering the possibility of new break DPSs and I have no idea why. We know for a fact La Mancha is in the first half of 4.x. Every other Galaxy Ranger has been break. The same leaker that confirmed the "Elation Battleship" also confirmed the second focused team would be based around Himiko SP and would consist of "adult women." Himiko is already considered pseudo-break by the game enough that she's included in break in Currency Wars. It's not hard to imagine Himiko SP could be break focused and one of those "adult women" would be Dahlia. Everyone is talking about Dahlia while comparing her to what Fugue was in 2.7 but they really aren't the same thing at all. Fugue wasn't a break upgrade. That was never her intended function. She was made purely to maintain break status quo since RMC was coming. Dahlia's actual point of comparison is the person she's largely replacing: Ruan Mei. Ruan Mei came out in the last patch of 1.x and was ultimately a huge part of break teams to the point where people were crying because they skipped her to save for 2.0 but now regretted it when Firefly came out. A lot of people seem to be pushing that same attitude on Constance and I dunno...I feel like people are going to regret it in six months when they have to pull for a Dahlia rerun AND Himiko SP.
>>1392410 desu people keep saying they will never replace firefly and even if la mancha is a new SB dps she will flop for the same reasons rappa and boothill did >Hurr why would i roll for another break dps when i have firefly?
>>1392565 I think Himiko is the more likely FF replacement TBF. She's an attractive woman the players know and thus would be less objectionable to the waifu crowd. There will be a Firefly (and Kafka) SP waiting for them next year anyway. La Mancha will probably, like Rappa and Boothill, be kinda wonky.
>>1392233 dafuq is black swans problem lmao
>>1392410 >No one seems to be considering the possibility of new break DPSs and I have no idea why. We know for a fact La Mancha is in the first half of 4.x. I mentioned it last thread but there's been "leaks" that there'd never be another break DPS until EoS to avoid melties from FFfags. >It's not hard to imagine Himiko SP could be break focused and one of those "adult women" would be Dahlia. Himeko SP retaining her element AND archetype would be boring to see (but would be funny to run two Himekos in PF), plus Sparkle 2 is also fire apparently. >Ruan Mei came out in the last patch of 1.x and was ultimately a huge part of break teams to the point where people were crying because they skipped her to save for 2.0 but now regretted it when Firefly came out. I don't remember seeing any of that, RM's ownership rate has always been super high. It was Robin who was being doomposted until her rerun specifically because everyone rolled for RM. >I feel like people are going to regret it in six months when they have to pull for a Dahlia rerun AND Himiko SP. It's better to save your rolls and get a support on a rerun than trying to play Future Rail and shooting yourself in the foot (hello Sunday pullers who got him for Castoria).

>>1392952 >I mentioned it last thread but there's been "leaks" that there'd never be another break DPS until EoS to avoid melties from FFfags. Rappa was after FF and I don't believe in a million years they won't make a Firefly SP. It's free money.
>>1393092 It's also possible they made the decision after rappa released seeing as how she hasn't rerun at all meanwhile FF is on like her third rerun

>>1393504 you're going to get raped
Rolling for my ID By the way I love Bronya (all forms of the original) for sexual purposes.
>>1388612 No. It had a lot of cool concepts and ideas I liked but absolutely shat the bed in execution. I would unironically prefer something like 1.x Luofu where it was mediocrity all the way through, then I could write the whole thing off without looking back. But because Ampho has a few grains of genuinely good, it becomes infuriating instead. It definitely had the strongest foundation of the planets (the whole sceptre lore and ground 0 to Aeon war were my favorite aspect of it by far), but classical Greece is so dreadfully uninspired as a setting and that everything being AI generated just gives me less of a reason to give a single shit about the worldbuilding/NPCs/sidequests. Penacony clears in that regard, glamorous jazz era Murika is refreshing and the NPCs also gave us glimpse of the galaxy at large. All the Heirs feel wasted, only shoved in your face during their shill period then their relevance falls off a cliff and they get relegated to plot device status. I wasn't even planning to do a lot of skipping, but the whole thing left such a bad taste in my mouththat I ended up only rolling on the collab characters this whole version. And to top the cherry off the slopcake, the pink creature is literally a 3D Remembrance printed c.ai. I will make the bunny suit incident look cute if Shaoqi managed to convince a new generation of braindead zoomers AI have feelings because the cai told them it Loves (You) Alas I somehow love the HSR turn based gameplay and found it a good challenge to drag my outdated roster through all of Ampho endgame. Archer's the most fun I've had in a long time

>>1394530 Xabt be the japan thing. Rappa has had a whole year to rerun and the Japan thing was only like a month ago
>>1395122 I am (mostly) memeing. The timing is simply funny. >>1395106 People who hate Penacony and Firefly will hate the patch because it's basically "here's what happened between people when TB was doing other things and here's what Firefly was doing while the Express was fighting Sunday." At best you'll get some Masked Fool stuff since Sparkle and Sampo are at least part of things and that will probably slightly hit at 4.x plotlines somewhat. As someone who likes Firefly, I think I'll enjoy the patch. For the people who complain about her, you're probably not going to have fun.
>>1388612 There's a lot I could say but in short, I liked it, it was mostly entertaining, it's probably my favourite planet in the game so far. Now I'm not in the mood to write a whole ass review, but I'll list off some bullet points. What I didn't like: I didn't like the story structure, having the story progress in chunks every 6 weeks doesn't work for such a long narrative and just waiting for the whole thing to come out doesn't work because that means dodging spoilers and having almost no content at all for almost a full year. I didn't like the presentation, there needs to be some very solid story and voice acting to make cutscenes with the same 3 changing poses and camera angles feel engaging. I didn't like Lygus repeating the cave alegory for 3 hours. <I didn't like Cyrene talking to Cyrene about Cyrene for a half an hour 3 times across a single patch, one time would have been enough. I didn't like 5 different "Flamechasers assemble" scenes in 3.5 onwards, it's just awkward when the writers go down the whole list like they're writing for Alzheimer's patients that need to be reminded how many Flamechasers there are and what each of them does every couple of hours. The above 3 points can be summmarised under "I don't like Shaoji's writing", there's a noticeable increase in long-windedness and reiteration of concepts in the last 3 patches, I have a hunch the first 4 patches were written by Fanchuan, then Shaoji took over but the ground work has already been set for 3.4 so it turned out as the best story patch in the game. I didn't like 3.6, it felt like it was stalling the story just to introduce Darch and Dante, it'd flow better if their subplots were written into some earlier point. What I liked: I liked most of the rest of the story, it was interesting to follow, both the flamechase part and the overarching conflict. I liked the cast a lot, the whole group felt very tight knit with fun interactions all around. I didn't like Phainon at first but 3.4 made him a lot more sympathetic. I didn't like Cyrene at first and she's still one of my least favourite flamechasers but 3.7 did a decent job justifying her feeling like an outsider, ironically I loved most Mem interactions and I still think Mem looks way better than either humanrene design, I'd swipe for the hat if I were playing as Smelle. I liked the areas a lot, whereas Belobog resembles a more grounded JRPG setting like Trails and Luofu and Penacony just feel like "space <country>", Amphoreus is full of areas that evoke the grandeur of Xenoblade. The ruins in 3.7 also really reminded me of Dreg heap from DS3. I liked the music, this goes for most areas in the game really, even Penacony had a lot of memorable tracks, but I just wanted a reason to mention I'm still seething you can't set the track from As I've written to the phonograph and now that Amphoreus is over it's likely never getting added. I liked the area exploration, this ties in with the previous two points because of how good it feels just walking around the place and the actual topography and puzzles felt sufficiently engaging. I liked some positive trends in presentation, in particular the anime cutscenes. Sucks that they're relegated to the main shill characters only, but for Phainon and Cyrene they at least felt justified in the context of the story and the devs would never add anime cutscenes to every patch anyways. On a similar note I got a massive grin on my face when the Amphoreus - Saga of heroes trailer played in full after Darch and DanTe officially joined the flamechase. All that said, while I'm not as outright defeatist as I felt by the end of 2.x I'm still keeping my hopes low for 4.x as it's shaping up to be another rewrite hell like Penacony.
>>1395227 >I didn't like 3.6, it felt like it was stalling the story It's funny because 3.6 is probably the MOST relevant to the overall narrative of Star Rail itself as most of 3.x is entirely self contained to Amphoreous itself and will have no implications going forward (everything prior to 3.4 is, essentially, a single inconsequential loop in the grand scheme of things). 3.6 is actually about Fulli, March and what Fulli can potentially be. Dan's part, though, was entirely padding as Dan's story has essentially been done for two years.
My computer keeps bluescreening when I update HSR or ZZZ. What the FUCK is up with that? I thought it was my SSD at first, because running chckdsk fixed it but it doesn't happen when I download other games. Then I thought it might be my BIOS since I had the intel generation that was fucked, but now I've updated that and I STILL get bluescreens from HSR/ZZZ. What the FUCK is going?
>>1395308 Lore is good but it was positioned weirdly in the context of the whole patch cycle, it felt like a jebait detour and in hindsight doesn't feel like a good segue into Cyrene's plot in the next patch. 3.7 touched upon a lot of the same Aeon lore as 3.6 in a more elegant manner with some cryptic references to it also placed in other patches. As for the overall narrative, Amphoreus didn't have any big long-lasting impact like "woo, we can call Jimmy Chungus if we're in trouble now" or "woo, we're super rich and have a lot of connections now", but As I've written is left as a Chekhov's gun and the story in general was still a battle in the war of Aeons. You could argue it's disproportionately long for the impact but not like the narrative isn't moving at a glacial pace either way.

>CW update Did they add new characters like dahlia or is it just bond and stat adjustments?
>>1396559 I think just numbers adjustments this time. Dahlia is specifically said to be added in 4.0 (along with characters from 4.0) and others will be taken out of the random pool and added to a shop you can buy from. From what I understand this is HSR blatantly copying something recent another autochess did.
>>1396596 >From what I understand this is HSR blatantly copying something recent another autochess did. Damn, I can't believe auto-chess invented seasons...
Boy that reveal about the stellaron origin is pretty surprising, but considering Celenova, it's probably not
>>1396605 No I mean the shop part. Again, I don't play Tower of Fantasy I think it is? But apparently they just implemented a similar system and Star Rail immediately copied it.
I guess the TB was a part of the Stelleron Hunters for way longer than I thought since she was there before Firefly. They also kind of touch on the weird thing that happened at the end of her animated short, which I guess wasn't metaphorical after all. To be honest this patch, while a bit weirdly structured, is actually filling a lot of holes that were in the story.

>>1400448 Nahida did it better.
I only have 2 teams...
>>1400508 Since you can 0 cycle King in Check I think you can clear the regular King and it will automatically clear the knights for you.
>>1400515 >I think you can clear the regular King I can only get past the first health bar before running out of time, that's how much HP that fucker has without killing the knights.
>>1400515 In fairness, all clearing the knights gets you is store currency for the shop that they never restock and a resin, which is I guess is kind of nice.

Is there something going on with the sound in this patch? Sometimes people's voices are fucked up, or maybe my hard drive or headphones are dying.

I finished the story, I like this rewrite of Penacony's ending way more than the first time. Sunday realizing Order also sucks and becoming a brand new Aeon makes way more sense. We actually got to see what the fuck Firefly was doing, which was completely cut out of the original Penacony for seemlingly no reason. The only things I dislike about the patch are Acheron and using the bugs AGAIN. Making the world feel really small by using the same antagonist all the time, surely there are some other uppity Aeons of the past to use. I hate how Acheron knows literally everything, all the time. She should be a complete mongoloid, where the FUCK is she getting her info from? It makes sense for Memokeepers to know everything about the past, that's their entire deal. The Stellaron Hunters have their script, so they get to know a ton of weird shit from the future. I can even allow Sparkle knowing a ton of shit she shouldn't because she can pretend to be people. But Acheron should know NOTHING other than "me swing red sword", she has no info network that we know of, she's not working with either of the memokeepers, why the fuck does she know MORE THAN THE MEMOKEEPERS?
>>1400629 carried my games, glad I didn't have to do the competitive shit
That chimera looks pissed at Firefly.
>>1401468 >Making the world feel really small by using the same antagonist all the time, surely there are some other uppity Aeons of the past to use. What I don't get is why didn't they show or at least hint at what makes Xipe one of the 4 confirmed finalities. The most we've gotten was Sunday saying the Harmony is either an ally or your worst enemy but why?
>>1401962 Oh wait. As soon as I posted this I remembered that Stellarons come from Xipe. I'm retarded.
>>1401970 Yeah, it's looking like Xipe might be a "play nice OR ELSE" kind of Harmony

Silver Wolf is a kid.

That's the exact type of line you say to a kid to get them to behave. Too bad the faggots over at 4chan will never know I was right the entire time. Silver Wolf is sexy.

>>1405637 >Argenti out of nowhere
>>1405680 Not really. This actually explains something. Aventurine explains he was saved by Argenti but you never see it (you already met him on Penacony during the competition).
>>1405692 Yes Aventurine tells you that, but in this version it makes even less sense because now Argenti is showing up on the absolute deepest level unassisted. How the FUCK did he get there? Consider the other characters present. Two memokeepers that can manipulate the dream and a dude that got slashed by Acheron's gigasword of breaking everything. Chudgenti just walks up and says "lmao hey"

>>1405740 The Aeon might be gone, but the Path is still there.
>>1405703 I mean Argenti literally luckshitted his way onto the express out of nowhere. He can just do shit like that.
>>1405755 >>1405731 I guess so, it just doesn't sound like it would be under the path of "Beauty". Seems more like a path of Trailblaze perk
>>1405760 What if The Beauty and The Trailblaze are closely linked? Trailblaze dying might be the reason why Beauty vanished.
>>1405680 My fucking HERO
>>1405776 There's beginning to be a lot of linked paths. Apparently Trailblaze is linked with Terminus who is linked with Fuli, and somehow Harmony pranked everyone into thinking Stellarons are Destruction
im not sure if i can get gold bwos...
>>1406062 Is it really that worth it to not buff MC and go for staggered Aglaea buff in the initial Cyrene Ult?
>>1290790 I bit the bait and got the goods.
>>1406101 It is for me since i can't kill him quick enough in phase 2 before he turns on his shield
>>1406139 I thought RMC provides non-negligent damage when buffed. My first impression is that it would be worth more compared to 70 energy since Aglaea can probably keep that install up indefinitely after the first buff.
>>1406167 ohhh, thats what you meant. I honestly never paid much attention and rmc was just hyper speed maxed with crit stats and nothing else. I dont even think i have attack subs on her, im so used to spamming the buff on aggy and dan 3 i just never think to put it on tb whenever i field them
>>1406174 Cyrene injects a decent amount of crit rate and attack to RMC. Might as well try a run and buff RMC in the initial Ult before picking Aglaea for every ult after.
>>1402076 >>1403369 >>1405291 Finally managed to do it after spending 19 Self Modeling Resins. I know this is her shilling period, but for now I'm happy that I managed to do it with FF.

>>1409720 Bets on Yao Guang's appearance? Bets on Yao Guang's gameplay?
>>1409930 Tough to say. Since she's Fu Xuan's mentor maybe she'll be some kind of support or sustain.
>>1409970 There is a running theme with FUA and the Arbiter generals, just like with the Stonehearts, so that's a safe assumption to make. Yao Guang is a strategist so either she's a support (FUA Cerydra) or she's Erudition. The second scenario is simple, she'd be some sort of AOE Feixiao and they'd maybe even be able to supplement each other. The first scenario needs to take into account Pearl is also apparently in one of the first 4.x patches and a Harmony so either they don't play on the same team or Yao Guang is a real FUA specialist 2nd slot and Pearl somehow powercreeps Robin without killing the game.

>>1410183 JY as FUA is kinda weird. Lightning Lord doesn't really react like most FUA things. FUA as it was actualized later are supposed to feed into each other but neither JY nor LL really care about other team members attacks to follow up. So at this point I'd say calling Arbiter Generals follow-up focused is a bit of a toss-up. >>1410216 Damn, I liked his voice. I wonder why. He specifically was one of the people who DIDN'T do the strike bullshit. He was always there. I don't follow Twitter drama did he do some fucked up shit?
>>1410227 Lighting lord still classifies as FUA even if he doesn't play into conventional "FUA" teams, just like counters used by Yunli who's a pupil of that old fart general. Maybe I'm wrong of course, but that's just the impression I got, FUA is a flexible enough mechanic to make 7 generals that play on them differently.
>>1410183 ((leaks)) claimed that she would be DoT because they found Ice dot as well with her
>>1410346 That could make sense as they're trying to keep DoT alive too. Though ice dot is weird because freeze is something they've basically abandoned and also it doesn't fall into typical dot ideas.
>>1410584 Supposedly the new ice DoT is dissociation from OG SU but more ((balanced))
Got E0S1 Dahlia. Tried to go for E1 and lost 50/50. Probably smart to just stop here and carry the guarantee into 4.0. Part of me wants Lingsha for aesthetic reasons but I know there's no practical reason to pull her.
I kinda dont know what to do >hard pity >have e2 firefly and e2 fugue >but also want evernight so i can play monorem since i already have cyrene and hyacine >due to this delay i have no clue how they'll handle reruns Should i just bite the bullet and get constance to complete SB or just hold the pity? Or is there a good chance they wont rerun her until anni or slightly later since she's basically the drive for mono rem
>>1410216 why did he get the boot?
Finally got around to doing MSQ, got delayed doing GF2 story. I must say holy Firefly patch
>>1412206 >do some research >apparently never had a contract >was told he'd be let go 7 months ago >*gets let go* >community yaps unsubstantiated claims and unhinged posts >insightful comments about industry, contracts, scheduling, legality gets buried by juvenile emotional outbursts and sophomoric moral grandstanding for da upboats so many such cases on the internet, meh
>>1412095 I think trying to bait out a rerun is trying to play Honkai Future Rail. There could easily be a 4.x unit you want before Evernight gets a rerun. I will say this, with E2 FF and E2 Fugue Dahlia is a very nice upgrade (well more than an upgrade she's close to essential for that team to work now) and will be able to wheelchair those for a while. And now if they do make more break DPSs you'll be primed to capitalize with supports already in hand. I think with the amount of cost you've already sunk into break Dahlia makes sense.
>>1412095 They'd likely want at least one Darch rerun in 4.0 or 4.1 since after that Yae's gonna come and turn all ice weak content into ST.

>>1415602 Why would he post this? I will say, as someone who works in the industry, the studio is 10000% wrong if they told him not to sign and that they'd still call him in. On the other hand, as someone who's been doing this for 25 years, he should've immediately had his lawyers reach out to iron out any potential issues. There's definitely some foul play going on
>>1416277 he knows he can't win the legal battle, so he'll try to win the social media one doxxing the hoyo employee (in addition to the pompous soliloquies) is extra levels of petty and vindictiveness
>>1416316 so he can just post this because he never signed an NDA?
>>1416699 in another screencap the footer said "if you are not the intended recipient of this email please delete". these are obviously trade secrets and legal business documents not intended for the public. he can ///absolutely\\\ be sued, even as a non-contracted temporary employee. the absence of formal contract does not give him free rein to share private company correspondence. virtually all courts around the world will hold that a duty of confidentiality exists by default in an employment relationship (which he is in informally). at best hoyo shows some leniency and does nothing, at worser he gets an injunction (you gotta delete it right now bro), and if they want to make an example, compensatory and punitive damages. also he cannot be protected by "whistleblowing" laws because his lawyer said the contract was "unfair" and not "illegal".

>>1420755 What made you go for the E1 over the sig?
>>1420759 Sig is just more sp. I already have E2S1 FF so I never suffered any shortage
>>1420788 The sp is nice, but that's just a bonus. The real function of the sig is the 30% flat break damage upgrade. That stat only exists on the BP lightcone or Fugue E4. It's just 30% more damage in every scenario. Meanwhile E1 is more about toughness damage which doesn't matter as much now that you're doing super break all the time. Unless your a Boothill main. Then E1 is more important.

>>1421298 >only s2 ddd on rmc I have S5 DDD but E2 Fugue should make up for that. I didn't have any set strategy I just unga bunga'd so I really think it's just that S1 one is really strong.
>>1421310 hm I guess so since its an break multi like on that Cipher BP cone wich also boosts dmg greatly. But I dont want to invest a lot in break again only for them to fuck it over again kek
>>1421317 Fair. I think there's gonna be new break DPSs in 4.x but it's not worth playing Future Rail for.
>>1421286 tried again and with RM + cipher bp cone I can get 3870 side one but its pretty close I didnt expect that the cone even on S1 with a 16% break multi is such a big dmg increase

>>1424709 These people cannot help but shoot themselves in the head, can they?
>>1397648 >>1424701 Firefly died in the dream. This would not kill her in reality. It was, however, her only chance to ever dream. In a dream like Penacony is essentially the only place Firefly could act fairly normal for once because otherwise she has to stay in a medical pod or her mech due to her ELS. She died in the dream before she could see fireworks with the MC like she wanted. TB used finality powers or borrowed them or somehow got Terminus to do something for them in order to rewrite time to give Firefly the ending in Penacony she wanted (2.3 basically).

Argenti is kind of ass whenever I tried using anything but FF & Dahlia team. That he keeps locking his break bar whenever he gets a turn is straight up bs. Maybe Phainon and Archer can do it better, but I don't have the former than the latter's build is kind of shit.
>>1425163 in the lawsuit he's beefing with the studio to be recognized as a full time employee with the studio (so he can get full benefits and compensation) the initial twitter post he made (now deleted) was him going on a schizophrenic tirade against hoyoverse >>1415602
>>1426954 >Full time employee You mean the VA wants to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, all year long, recording voice lines? Is this what they're fighting for?

>>1425342 Can confirm Phainon does an excellent job into Argenti. I don't see how Archer would perform since you're not ever going to break him and he most likely resists Quantum.

Aha Instant | Yao Guang "I am General Yao Guang, Seer Strategist aboard the Xianzhou Yuque. Like everyone else, you may simply call me Madam Yao. It's true, I could have divined the finer details of this encounter, but where's the fun in that? Being here in person has turned up some rather pleasant surprises." Her mysterious, bold, and radical actions were so revolutionary that they left everyone stunned. She saw all fortune, good and ill, through the "eye" of The Hunt. Yet, knowing that fate is not to be defied, the Seer Strategist still faced the danger alone. To be dealt such a cursed fortune... How can one ever hope to alter their fate? == Aha!

>>1477824 Not as sexy as the original, but I like it however. It's like she's trying too hard to out Sparkle herself.

>>1488953 >elation will just be different flavors of other paths like rememberance was Please no... But I'll find out when beta starts in a few days
>>1488644 That means just 2 buffs, right? They'd probably announce all 4 if it was more.
>>1489407 Yeah. Though last time we got Novaflares was at anniversary rather than new patch number so this implies they might do them more regularly.
>>1489470 This doesn't set a good precedent because it's still half a year after the first batch of buffs and it's two 2.0 characters that already have functional teams (Sparkle's still BiS for Redman, BS is a sidegrade to upgrade as the 3rd slot in DoT) while most of 1.x is still rotting in neglect.
>>1489481 I legitimately don't think they even know how to fix Seele. I wouldn't know how to do it.
>>1489618 Make her a break DPS, or a crit-break hybrid like red mom, replace the kill requirement for resurgence with a break requirement. Toughness gets inflated slower than HP and is easier to circumvent with vertical investment.

>minions Who cares.
So the short of the beta seems to be: >Sparkie DHIL with practically no charge cap, really wants 3 Elation for the exponentially scaling mono trace and Sparkle for the SP, her cone also buffs ally Elation%, but I assume it's more so that Yao Guang and a theoretical Elation Cinny can deal a bit more damage and she won't be in (((the battleship))). The animations are on the goofy side, not my cup of tea but the ult is cute. >/our/ general Definitely a potential woman with all the Elation buffs, but with the RES shred and 50% crit value from the lightcone may still be useable generally, also probably gonna be dealing an above average amount of damage for a support with the Aha attacks. Very pretty animations, pulling. >BS buff I don't play BS but the buff doesn't sound that impactful, she'll just have an easier time keeping up her debuffs, QoL I guess. Could still be enough to give her a slight edge over other 3rd slots in DoT. >Sparkle buff Sounds amazing! Obscene amount of SP gen, skill and ult effects don't get wasted, no mono-quantum meme. This kind of buff makes her a staple of her niche like Kafka's, except she'd be easier to replace because it's harder to fit a SP slurper with 2 SP gen action advancers than a DoT DPS with two detonators. >new relics The first one is just a Genius upgrade for Elation characters, very straightforward. The second is signature for Yao Guang and good for any cope 3rd slot you'd use with Elation. It should also work for hyperspeed carries, 6% SPD and 18% CR ain't bad when the only condition is going super fast, I don't know any crit carries who want 160 speed though, Aglaea exists but she has her own signature set. >new cones The 5* ones sound very strong even barring the lack of Elation cones in general, the BP cone is a general DPS statstick as expected, the MoC cone is supportive as expected, one of the 3* ones actually sounds fffine for DPS since it gives 40% CDMG if your Aha is well fed (OR it could be good for an Elation action advancer since they always scale with CDMG!). >Elation in general Currently disappointing, I expected something more gimmicky like in the event but it's just a communal memosprite with exclusive stat types. Remembrance was just as disappointing in terms of being a step back from the test event, but it didn't have any exclusive stat buffers (except Evernight but everyone rolled her so doesn't count). >Planarcadia "Penacony but Japanese", I have zero expectations.

Both Sparxle and YG want a lot of energy by the way.
So, which teams can use Yao before Sparkle comes out?
>>1500815 Any teams can use her as the 3rd slot, the best is probably Redman because her Certified Banger additional damage scales with the number of skill points consumed in a turn. I don't know how long that Certified Banger state lasts but if it doesn't expire instantly any DPS that does a lot of actions like Anaxa or Feixiao would be able to proc the additional damage multiple times.

https://youtu.be/GGXEpwPYP-w >watch Elation gameplay >feel elated Ludokino... After seeing actual gameplay I don't think Sparxie is like DHIL anymore, she's more like just Elation QQ from the event. And Yao Guang is like Elation Scampo. If that trend continues, maybe Pearl is like Elation Sigga and Yae is like Elation Sexxiao. At first I thought it'd be unlikely for her to fit in the same team with Sparxle because they'd be fighting for SP, but what if Yae has a special ult that charges based on SP spent. Though that'd require Pearl or Yae herself to be an insane SP battery because currently old Sparkle is carrying the SP economy. Speaking of, I wonder how grim the nu-Sparkle gameplay without old Sparkle since I don't have her and even with the stash I amassed in the past couple of months I wouldn't be able to lift YG, two Sparkles and the likely rerunning Helektra all within one patch.
I dont usually keep up with leaks past the current beta, so who else are rumored to be elation? I dont like yao guang but I will 100000% be picking up sparxie on aha
>>1501450 Elation feels like the ADHD path lmao
>>1501486 I only heard about Yae Sakura being the big anniversary shill Elation unit, there should be more but I don't think we know which ones.
>>1501486 "Most characters until 4.2" are supposed to be Elation, the ones that are very good bets are Yae and Pearl, SW2 is rumoured to be normal Erudition, the ones left are Blade 2 and La Mancha who could be Elation or Nihility and Hunt respectively plus some more alters slated to be in the later patches. There's also a mystery nigga in the silhouette teaser I thought would be Yao Guang but it doesn't seem to match.

>>1501655 can you just link it or show a screenshot I have no idea what you are talking about
>>1501691 1st, 3rd, 5th and 6th are definitely Sparkle, Blade, Wolfie and Yae, 4th is La Mancha, I assume, that leaves the 2nd one. It could also be La Mancha though because to my knowledge nothing has been said about their appearance.
>>1501716 at first I thought the last one was feixiao lol, damn 2nt does look close to yao but I see putting it side to side its still different, this is all we have atm huh, its hard to judge them

>>1501760 The head looks similar but the rest doesn't match.
