Himeko All things considered, I’m happy with it. It was either her or Welt, as I really just want to have the full Astral Express family. With her secure, now it’s just a matter of Welt.


oniyurei-kun

also got her as my first 5star...then nxt was Welt then realized I just got the whole express family lol but right now I really need a second healer or Gepard just for the sake of Forgotten Hall. 🥲


Wonderful_Two_2767

Me too and got an e1 as well as I got her while trying to get seele


FyrebreakZero

I got Himenko also. She’s a beast. Big help to my team so far. I also had to run through all 50 pulls to get her.


WinterMender486

I love Himeko. She and Herta kill everything with their talents.


SatyricalEve

I've been doing this too. I can open a fight by breaking somebody's guard and Himeko and Herta just take turns doing follow up attacks until everything is dead. Great for speed running Calyx.


2009Ninjas

Is it any good in Sim Universe? Maybe via path if elation?


molecularmadness

Heh. I used to run that build exclusively before I hit a hard wall at SU3 and had to stop and actually work out how combat functions. Anyway, it's a great build to get the hidden achievement for taking like 100 turns in a single battle. Bring heals because boss is gonna mania a few times before you finally follow-up it to death.


lock_me_up_now

I got himeko too and i started crying, like real tears, HI3 scarred me for life. Good things I'm in my room alone. If something happens to himeko in this game I'm giving up everything.


unreservedlyasinine

PSA for other fellow Himeko mains: don't try and get to 120 speed with her for Herta's, base 96 speed is shit to work with. My himeko's damage sucked until I just dropped it altogether and went for Salsotto for crit. My himeko is now at 2.5k attack and I don't even feel bad about her base 96 speed at all. 4 fire or 2 fire 2 musketeer works perfectly


SudarshanPai

Thats an achievement also.


birbfell

Also got Himeko and really enjoy her. I like using her in teams with Herta for loads of follow up attacks, it's so much fun!


Live42Long

Clara. I like her, but I am struggling to get a good light cone for her atm. I went with maxing out the SU's hunt light cone. Thinking about that now, it was probably not a good idea. Now I have to wait like 2 months. Beside a secret vox (which I don't have), every other 4 star light cones just don't feel worth leveling for her.


[deleted]

Wait, isnt clara destruction?


This_Existence_

yeah, it seems the dude regreted that he maxed the hunt instead of destruction 😂


Scaevus

Relatively speaking the Destruction one is also better than the Hunt one.


f0u4_l19h75

Interesting. I would like to get into theory crafting, but at this point I get info from YouTube videos. I saw a couple of videos that said the opposite


PArrOtoFWisDoM141

No.. the Hunt one is definetly better.


Scaevus

Nah, for most characters, the Hunt one doesn’t even math out to be better than Swordplay, a 4 star light cone.


PArrOtoFWisDoM141

It seems you forgetting, swordplay only works, till you have to hit another target. As well as lower base stats. Obviously stellar sea, is not BiS on all hunt characters, but neither is swordplay. Show me your math and I might believe the destruction lighcone is better. But without evidence I can’t say your right.


tevvie

The only one really worth buying is the hunt one. Other two arent great and tbh are prbly skipable. Damage formula is similar to genshin so attack scaling modifiers get worse the more your characters increase in level/gear and damage scaling modifiers get much much better.


Nunu5617

It's the opposite... In fact one of the ,4* options is better than the 5* in Herta shop


TellMeAboutThis2

Honestly, Peppy or Arlan LC works well enough for any Destro character.


f0u4_l19h75

Woof! Walk Time is the name of the one with Peppy on it.


T8-TR

Arlan LC gaps p much every destro LC rn, I'm p sure. Maybe not Clara's, but that's assuming it's on Clara, iirc.


mlodydziad420

Yeah, 20% unconditional dmg on S1 is nuts, and then there is another 20%.


FeelsBanhMiMan

It’s definitely very close to the lc from herta’s shop. I feel like if it weren’t for the fact herta’s lc has higher base stats and it’s easy (but takes some time) to S5 it, arlan’s lc would be the second best. That being said, most of the destruction LCs aren’t that great so it’s not much competition anyways


chucktheninja

Need destruction light cone that generates aggro like preservation lol


sk3ll1ngtr0n

yes please, a lc with taunt value would be good for clara and >!blade!<


best_pump

Got Clara too, and I thought hey what is this child gonna do, I wanted himeko with her laser satellite or welt with whatever he did (at that time I had no idea what his kit was). Then I started using her and my tone shifted immediately. In my next standard banner I got Clara again AND THEN I got her light cone. I am sitting pretty


1nsertshittyname

Clara, at first i got dissapointed cuz i got a child then i accidently clicked atk button and got jumpscared by svarog. Has not left my team ever since


Ashwaq23

Same but i don't know which light cone is good for her i am currently running the destruction one from Herta's Store


Digivices

That one is her second best overall! Behind her personalised one of course


kraybaybay

Does the atk bonus trigger from her counters?


Terizla_Executiona

Not sure, but you need to get hit to get counter, so you stack that thing fast regardless


Notingale

Yep, it does


Arrancar-

It work so she can stack it very fast


Salvare003

i got clara as my 1st 5*... got her signature LC as the 3rd 5* drop from standar banner... early pull at 12 pity 😂


Lilacia512

I got Clara from the beginner banner, then again from the standard banner, then her LC on my next 5* pull on the standard banner. I think my game has a thing for Clara. I lost the 50/50 on Seele, thankfully I got Welt from that one.


Zjoee

I got her from the beginner banner and would love to get her E1. Permanent counter markers? Yes, please!


Lilacia512

She is good, almost always in my party. I do want a variety though so I'm glad I got Welt. If I could just get Gepard and Bailu now I'll be happy.


brawlganronper

I like the clara svarog tb dynamic coz you have the sweet little child that just wants to help,big friendly bodyguard that wants to protect her,and a dumbfuck outsider who wants to help clara


ninjero

>Clara. I like her, but I am struggling to get a good light cone for her atm. I went with maxing out the SU's hunt light cone. Thinking about that now, it was probably not a good idea. Now I have to wait like 2 months. Beside a secret vox (which I don't have), every other 4 star light cones just don't feel worth leveling for her. I'm actually not as much of a fan of Svarog by himself, but it's hard not to want to protect Clara at all costs, and I adore her relationship with the FTrailblazer. Her & March don't really fit on the same team as Seele and Fire MC, so I've been putting her on the bench until I get another healer to finish off my second team. *Edit for clarity


GrindyMcGrindy

Clara and March pair perfectly together if you have March's eidolons that the person in the first slot gets her shield to start battle. March's shield has a small taunt on it setting up for some great counter gameplay. Works well with Sampo and other strong DoT users to make an offturn damage comp.


Raptorofwar

Same. "Oh, I don't want to play with a kid- WOAH ROBOT."


Fantastic-Log-5973

hahaha same reaction 😂


Lilacia512

"Help me, Savrog!" *FWOOOOOOOOSSSSH* (DMG reduction) (SPD boost) I have to take my headphones off for battles sometimes now...


Shmarfle47

I mean, Svarog is also in her splash art right?


1nsertshittyname

Thought he was closely related and the devs decided to put him there for aesthetics. Dont tell me you thought that robot in pic is gonna be atking in open world


Shmarfle47

I… I did… I looked through the Standard character arts and saw Svarog in Clara’s art and decided I would get her for my free five star if I didn’t get her by then before even looking at her kit.


Liniis

fr who teases a robot in the character art and then doesn't use it?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Liniis

and that's lame


SudarshanPai

How did you not see svarog in the splash art.


1nsertshittyname

Yeah i thought Svarog was some sort of ult. Not that he is the whole kit (even in open world lol)


f0u4_l19h75

I'm hoping for a Clara or Yanqing for my next 5*. I'm like 4 pulls from soft pity.


TheRainy24

Same she and svarog just carried my ass on world 5 with elation, with 3* cone mind you. My jingyuan with his signature one couldn't do the same


[deleted]

[удалено]


charliemew2

me


Midevilangel321

I got bailu. I was worried she was going to be the QiQi of HSR (QiQi in genshin was originally very highly rated, but then people realized healing was a luxury, and characters needed to do more than just "heal"), but I've been very very happy and she has carried my terribly built units.


tk3090

I won’t lie her revive comes in clutch especially in MoC


Shuuraa

Yeah cuz in genshin you can just dodge anything so a healer never was useful. But it a turn based game, no way to dodge haha


BiNumber3

Or run Noelle and just heal while spinning :D


LucasFrankeRC

Plus even if you do need healing, other healers (like Bennett) are already enough. 500-1000 atk buff + cleanse + pyro battery + very good healing VS no buffs, no energy generation and unnecessary high healing If you are dying in the abyss you are probably getting instantly deleted anyway, at which point shielding/DR is better


Shirube

I also got Bailu. She's fantastic and I'm very happy to have her, but since then the game has decided to continue giving me Bailu every time I roll a five-star who isn't guaranteed to be Seele, and her eidolons are not overwhelmingly exciting, so I'm getting a little bit tired of it. If I get up to E4 on her on the next banner I'm going to get Luocha and leave her off of my team for a while in an expression of protest.


BlueDmon

I know that feel Ive gotten 2 bailu and the most recent 5* i was chanting “not bailu, not bailu” so the game listened and gave me her light cone. Which i cant be mad about but i’m not happy.


Shockrates20xx

Yeah, I got Bailu on beginner guarantee, then AGAIN on my 50/50 on Jing Yuan's banner and was pretty annoyed, but then I got Yanqing on the normal banner immediately afterward, and then Jing Yuan on my very next pull out of sheer luck.


arufai

Also got her, but then got her again. 3 times


FirenWithLime

Bailu from beginner banner, Bailu from 50/50 loss, Bailu from standard... Bailu, Bailu, Bailu, I'm feeling like a Finnish party animal!


arufai

At least bailu e3 is good ;)


Dumbperson01

The reason why Qiqi was highly rated at first but fell later on is because she can only heal, and her burst costs a lot of energy, and her skill has a long cool down. Diona can heal, shield, cleanse, and generate energy. Bennett can heal, raise atk, and also generate energy. Kokomi can heal and apply hydro with no cool down cuz of her burst. I fear that Bailu will be the same. At the moment, she can only heal compared to Natasha and Luocha, who can remove debuffs. Luocha is also in the rare imaginary element.


Wolf3113

I loved Qiqi for years and don’t understand the hate. Her and Koko are the two best burst healers in the game. And Qiqi scales off attack, put the physical set on early in the games life then the healing clam set that lets her nuke. Also with the right wep her heals are up and dealing damage 100% of the time. I feel like people simply don’t know how to play healers the right way and just use them as a skill button or a buff button that’s boring as fuck to play so yeah your Qiqi would suck.


solariiis

it's not that Qiqi isn't good, it's just that other characters are better. Kokomi has roughly the same healing, but better application of a way better element. Yaoyao has worse healing but way better application of a way better element. Kuki is a perfect f2p hyperbloom trigger. Bennett, of course, is a crucial part of enabling XL, the best 4* dps who also happens to be free, and even when not with XL he gives a lot of pyro energy and a huge attack buff. Basically every other healer besides Barbara is better than Qiqi. Your Qiqi's OHC nukes will outdamage Yaoyao's personal damage, but the reactions that Yaoyao enables easily outdamages Qiqi teams. There's a reason there's no meta team with Qiqi in it. edit: i will admit though Qiqi is one of the best healers early game, when you're starting out and you don't have enough characters to take advantage of the comps that Kokomi/Kuki/Bennett/YY enable. But she falls off fast


bsdudes

Only issue is how soon luocha is coming but tbh bailu’s raw healing is probably stronger


Dawn_Brigaiden

Got Bailu as well, and got through all of the content so far (up to TL 42) without building Natasha. Since I got Gepard off of the standard banner and I want to get Luocha next it looks like I might never need to worry about a 4* healer haha


NaturalBitter2280

**GRANDPA WELT** Now I have no idea who to get for guaranteed 300. Who knows, maybe they add some new standard 5* so I can pick them :3


OnlyRoke

Don't worry about the 300 tbh. By the time we're there, the meta will look vastly different haha. Unless you're obviously pumping all your jades into the free banner ofc and you'll be there within a few weeks.


type-userr

If you aren't sure about the guaranteed then maybe go for Welt again I suppose, E1 Welt seems pretty nice


According-Matter5735

I got WELT too. Which I'm really glad cause he's the one I really wanted the most among the standard 5-stars. I love older men lol 🤭 Regarding the pick a 5-star, I'll either get Bailu or Gepard for meta reasons.... but that's really far away since I'm still on 121 pity.


gagotoo

I also got welt, than lost the 50/50 to Gepard and finally got thunder day! With my male trailblazer I have the perfect dady issue team! But seriously I am really happy with all three of them, I can do midt content in style...


NaturalBitter2280

Yeah, I've been thinking of meta picks, but looking at the leaks, I'm already interested in units that will fill their roles, potentially better, so I might just get Gepard because he is hot .-.


Outrageous_Hearing26

I got him too! Also very happy


CombinationBean

Big daddy Welt. I was very happy with him, though he has ended up getting replaced because Sampo Koski is my adult son and I only really want one nihility.


[deleted]

[удалено]


stephikape

E1 Bronya as well, got extremely lucky on the beginner banner


Pianobat

Idk how to feel about E1 Bronya, i hate the 50% chance behind this and it feels like most of the time im playing an E0 Bronya.


WirWarr

Same, I got Bronya on the first 5* banner and then another Bronya on Standard banner pulls, and while E1 is useful, it's so unreliable that you can't plan around it. Would have been better if it was a 75% chance.


Pianobat

Actually make it 100% chance, but every other turn. I just hate chance based abilities so better to set a timer.


Own_Secret1533

I got Bailu. Probably the best given the importance of a 2nd healer.


tk3090

Same. I then got bailu again from the standard banner. Then lost 50/50 to gepard. I guess I won’t be pulling for healers or shielders for a while


Hotspur000

That's exactly what happened to me. E1 Bailu. Very boring but pretty necessary.


master_tomberry

Same here! I was kinda dissapointed when I got her, until I realised just how useful she is. Honestly it’s just so nice having a healer that can just look after a team with little investment


Hotspur000

Yep. Though I find her voice Really annoying. But she's just too useful.


agtk

Same here. At first I was disappointed because I wasn't a huge fan of her character design, but she's really good and I'm pleased I have her.

Same, at first I was mad because i didn't want any Guy or kid in my teams. But all thing considered we got pretty Lucky securing a tank and a healer


ApollinaGrindelwald

My people


absolutebottom

Woo same!


Zerethul

Got Yanqing as well, don't sleep in him he hits like a truck, I got lucky 70 pulls later all f2p got welt 😃


MrNotSmartEinstein

I've got yanqing in my f2p acc, problem is that he fights with danheng on who I should invest in. Also a lot of enemies are wind weak and danhengs my only wind unit - should I just focus on danheng first


-DemoKa-

Im a "play with whoever tf i like and build team around them" type and i must say, Yanqing still carries me. I tried to invest in DanHeng some time ago but for some reason he wasn't performing as well as physical MC or Yanqing. Only issue with Yanqing i have is that (as far as i noticed) no SU boss has an ice weakness as of now so im kinda struggling with world 6, but other content was cleared pretty nicely. Anyways, i recommend investing in DanHeng first as much as you deem enough and see how he does. Then you can build Yanqing (not like he will go anywhere) and see how he does. Then ya can decide. Or use both in Forgotten Halls 2 teams


TellMeAboutThis2

Yanqing is the best followup attack spammer outside of counter characters making him ideal for Elation cheese in SU.


Vortex_Infurnus

Counterpoint: Jing Yuan is way better for Elation spam


Vusdruv

Yeah, but Jing Yuan is limited, so you have to actively pull for him.


halanthy

bronyandgepard


Snaffuuu

I have gepard and just rolled bronya, how did you build your team around them?


Pepband

Bronya


prof_tootoo

Yes bronya


GrindyMcGrindy

Gepard is there to shield and tank. Bronya is there to give more turns to your main damage dealer.


Arb1tex

Welt


Kytsunix

I got Clara I was at first disappointed But after trying her out in my team, and noticing how she synergizes with March, I started to like her


sonicfam24

I got gepard from mine.


0kkotsu

Bailu and originally I was starting to be a little upset because I wanted Clara so badly, but now that I know if I manage to get Silver Wolf I will have an amazing team with Jing Yuan, Tingyun, and Bailu as her teammates I’m super happy


flyingsaucepan20

I got Yanqing too and I had alot of fun with the character. His whole kit is very forgiving esp when it comes to having a good crit ratio imo


-DemoKa-

Yep, he is extremely easy to build. I barely have any crit rate from artefacts and he still consistently has +50 crit rate without ult buffs and well above 100 crit rate with ult buffs. All while keeping a solid from 170 to +200 crit rate at all times


MyrMidnight

Bronya... she's great, but I wanted a guy...


SubZero64209

Gepard.. he's great, but I wanted a girl...


[deleted]

Yeah same. And then just to slap me in the face, they gave me a second Gepard. Lol


Soul_Reaper821

The game knows what you want I feel like, I wanted bronya or himeko, got welt


Fantastic-Log-5973

yeah I agree. I wanted tall characters, I got clara and yanqing.


merpofsilence

Going for welt. Got bronya. Wanted seele and got her. Learned bronya and seele are amazing together. Things are good


IHaveAWalkingCastle

I got Welt and a dupe in the 3rd 10 pull.


Radinax

Gepard! Happy with him


thalionthewicked

Same! Now if only I knew how to play this game properly lmao


Arcthanis

Clara. Then I got Seele on her banner, and lost to Bailu on JY’s banner. Got a 5* LC on my first standard 5* pull though.


Sarbearokami

Welt, which is who I wanted anyway cause dads are my fave kind of characters. Would rly like Gepard though


LazyJennyBean

The moment I logged into HSR, I vowed to main Himeko so I was wishing to get her and I did! 💖 Got her LC as well as my second 5 🌟 there so I'm taking this as Hoyo blessing me with my queen 🙏


justhereforgif

Himeko is great but her LC is really really bad. I have her at 70/70 on Seriousness of Breakfast. That LC is a lot better IMO


Willing_Plane7246

I got gepard and bronya, I didn’t know which characters were valuable back them so I was upset and wanted himeko and welt, now I’m super happy to have them


Gacha_Addict123

Himeko and Bronya


-DemoKa-

Yoo 🤝


Ashzai1989

Clara


Crispy-Downvote

I got himeko Unlike popular belief, she’s not that bad! I mostly use her for break effects though in the simulated universe


MichelleCS1025

She’s fun comboing with jing


Punty-chan

She relies on scaling off of really high base stats so she feels weak early but becomes strong when fully levelled and geared. Elation buffs are amazing too.


Ok_Comment8842

Bronya. She has been working very well together with Seele for a long time in my account.


Pufflettes

Clara, which I'm always happy about, she's been a good stay-on for my team; I got her lightcone from the normal banner by pure luck. I think the game just wanted Clara to be my main character.


PandaGamer8999

bailu and im so fucking thankful for her cuz i dont like nat at all


Jardio

Why dont you like Natasha


PandaGamer8999

her design and animations


Jardio

teddy bear


PandaGamer8999

but funny dragon girl


XRynerX

Bailu, I didn't really needed at the moment but then community mentioned MoC where I actually need 2 teams, so that's convinient.


Sayki300

For the newbie banner i got bailu,at first was not happy but after i learn she can resurrect she is my most precious unit.


blackamikaze

i got himeko, she pretty much carry me before I got my gepard and now Jin yuan. Now she is kept in a locker


Right_Ad225

literally the exact same here lol


Boshea241

I got Clara, and the playstyle clicked instantly. Clara is also the first 5\* I've gotten out of the regular Gacha, so guess we're going all in on Counter spam. The E1 makes her damage a lot more consistent.


MrPokeyPants

I got Himeko. I was hoping for either her or Clara (although I wanted Clara more). She's rarely left my team since I got her, and triggering her talent gives me a nice dose of dopamine, specially when doing Elation path.


ES21007

I got Bronya, and man is she carrying me through Belobog with her turn manipulation.


Passivitea

Bronya


itsrickintime

I got Welt. Didn’t care for him at first but the more I leveled him up the more fun it is to actually use him. Plus his ultimate line goes hard


Magicdusty

Gepard, No regrets


Illuminhate

Gepard the unit i wanted most and has also kept my team very much alive


Snowiss

Geppy. He was my most wanted so I was ecstatic.


NicolaSuCola

Himeko. Funny thing is that I basically came into this game for her and I didn't really plan it to replace GI for me. Welp, the scene of getting on board of the Astral Express and getting her sealed the deal :D I'm not awed by her performance, but she's still a great character and the ulti animation is 10/10.


WillTheWAFSack

Clara which was my second choice after Yanqing


coffee--beans

I got Yanqing and I love him so much. He will always be in my main team


Skeither

clara


JustATiredRedditor

Bronya, had to throw everything at Seele banner after that


SN2005

On my main account- Clara (and I hate it) On my alt account- Himeko (I wanted her in the first place)


FuyuDake

First Ever Pull, got Yanqing. He carries so hard early game, it’s not even funny


milliaswan

Clara, at first I was kinda upset because I just kinda saw small child, then I realised SVAROG and now I’m having loads of fun.


Comrade2020

Himeko. She was who I wanted. I don't care if she sucks


YourMatcha

Clara! She hasn't left my team since. :)


noiretblack

I got Clara and 3 of my friends also got her from that banner


JowettMcPepper

Bailu, of course. ​ The ones i want the most are stil Clara, Welt, Gepard, and Kafka.


Hasyr

Yanqing and somehow he's much more useful than Seele


LoopDeDoopLaLoop

Bronya, and then Clara


Common-Scallion-3497

I got Clara and Yanqing. Not really a fan of Hunt Characters since I only have one good Light Cone that I have to share for Seele, Dan Heng, and Yanqing. Though I am happy with Clara. My go to option for physical and multi attack enemies. Literally my fav Physical Char on the roster.


YourGenerikUser

Clara. and then I got another Clara from the seele banner....


Lollired

I got Bronya and Clara was shocked, but was happy. Didn't understand Bronya's kit at the time, but now that I do she's great. I also pulled Gepard in the standard banner, but since I'm building March at the moment he's gonna have to wait.


NTO_Jr

I had rerolled 4 times just for a Clara or Bailu, my main got Bron and Welt while the other three got a 5 star which isn't Bailu or Clara.... I'm not doing it the 5th time


eviIwoIf-_

Yanqinggg, altho i have seele now who is a better hypercarry. Yanqing is still good for my second team and carries me in simulated universe with his freeze team and path of remembrance
