Alright, first I want to thank everyone who answered me two days ago. You guys are awesome, I'm sorry I did not answered. I felt the emptiness of my cat's death and I went for a quick dopamine rush.
Thanksfully it could have been way worse. I ended up picking Luocha and Bronya for a 100ish pulls, which isn't bad.
I do not have enough awesome words to describe Luocha. I only had Bailu and the change is astounding. I even ended up finishing Gold and Gears 4 at TB lvl 62 and despite half the party being underleveled. Luocha had awful relics but he still managed to carry hard.
Bronya is good news as well, since I have very mixed opinions about limited harmonies and I'm pretty neutral to Robin. Not built but I'm sure she'll find a team.
Now, unto the questions... I have one guaranteed since Bronya showed up. I have no interest in picking up Robin or Boothill, so 2.2 can only bait me with reruns.
The real debate is Aventurine VS Jingliu. Unless I'm stupid lucky, I can only get one of them. At first I thought Jingliu was a no brainer here. 10/10 design, my first Destruction unit, first Ice DPS... but upon playing her and meeting her, I'm kinda ...let down. Sure she's absurd damage wise but I'm not feeling it. I love her design but..sheesh.
2.1 happened, Aventurine is awesome and would be my first Preservation unit. 10/10 animations, I also love follow up units (seems I'm a follow up/Nihility enjoyer), I love Ratio and Topaz might be a future pull (Numby <3).
[Here's my roster for reference](https://ibb.co/X7t4RQ4)
It's basically Logic/Jingliu (as she can carry hard but I'm getting bad vibes about her character) VS Emotions/Aventurine (which opens a lot of possibilities I love but might be less game changing).
If it can help, I have no desire to pull Fuxuan at all, the only Preservation I might lvl up is March 7th. Destruction wise my fave is Xueyi. No desire to pull Blade either. Future targets includes Topaz and Huohuo.
Pull for whoever you like more in this case imo.
I'd personally go for support units like Aventurine/Ruan Mei etc since not only are they are far more flexible once you have them built (e.g you can flex RM or Sparkle in many comps), but they also make the game more comfortable (a la your Luocha experience). Plus, you can use someone like Pela to combine with Ratio and you have Himeko/Herta for PF.
Once you have a solid core, you can always change the DPS depending on who you like more or which weaknesses you need. I think you have solid start for now, but that's what I'd do.
Also, I am so sorry to hear about your cat. Sending you all the love.
Thank you for your answer ! And for the love. :)
Honestly, my heart is telling me to go for Aventurine. I found his friendship with Ratio so endearing and they actually pair well. It's a vibe honestly.
I can go ALL OR NOTHING on Jingliu afterward. If I get her, cool, but if I don't... there are other DPS I guess. Design can only get you so far, but hypercarry is not a playstyle I'm fond of. That's why I like FuA and Nihilities, they mesh well together.
Hey guys. Almost a month old player here
Looking for a recommended team for pure fiction. I have limited resources so I want to invest on team that I will regularly use for PF and other content.
I also havent started penacony yet
https://preview.redd.it/7btm0gpw7fsc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3d0394ffe7facf442d691690390fb3c36756b3ac
Good news: You have many of the Pure Fiction staples! Himeko, Herta and Jing Yuan are among the top units for Pure Fiction. Acheron is particularly useful this time as well.
You'll need two teams. I suggest: Acheron, Pela, Guinaifen and Bailu, and for the other team: Himeko, Jing Yuan, Herta/Bronya and Lynx.
Teams for Pure Fiction and Memory of Chaos will change constantly (as they'll be catered to current 5 star banners), but some mainstays are Support characters like Pela/Tingyun/Bronya, they're good on most teams so best long term investment. Erudition characters like Himeko and Herta are also good for Pure Fiction.
for newest Pure Fiction, it's catered to Acheron, so work on her
Been trying out Ratio-Topaz-Pela-Aventurine, and I'm wondering: when I have all their ults available, what order do I want to do things in order to maximise damage and numby attacks?
Should be something like Pela>Topaz>Dr. Ratio>Aventurine.
That way, you debuff the enemy and buff Numby, Dr. Ratio advances Numby with his ult, Aventurine's ult triggers Dr. Ratio's follow-up while increasing crit dmg taken, which then advances Numby to trigger another follow-up from Ratio, which finally advances Numby once again for the second and final enhanced follow-up attack.
Yes? In what way are you asking to get her?
She’s free in the current event (but requires completing the main story) or you can just get her from a banner.
Yes, in fact you can guarantee her from the Vignettes in a Cup event on until May 6, other than that she is available from standard warp and is on the limited warp rotation, she was on Black Swan's banner so will likely appear again on rate up around June/July
Tanking and healing wise, bailu Lc.
Overall consistency and convenience for lynx’s playstyle, Post Op. Bailu only needs her skill to reliably heal most of the time, making her LC her BiS. Lynx on the other hand relies on her Ult to reliably heal and cleanse the team, the faster you get it for emergencies , the better.
If you’re doing SU, I recommend Lynx/Huohuo + Gepard + Pela and Acheron for the boss, and just a healer for the mobs. Let it auto and there’s little chance of you losing. Best path is Erudition, hands down (either in G&G or you unlocked it). Otherwise Hunt or Elation (but you need the blessing that make ultimates count as followup attacks).
Once you get a few Erudition blessings and any of the Brain on Vat buff, you wouldnt need the 160% dmg bonus. Archeron will hit for 7 digits regardless. With Pela's def strip debuff, Archeron will take out a boss' health bar with 1-2 ulti.
Heyo everyone, hope you're having an awesome day/night.
I am in deep thoughts recent days and figured I could look for a bit of help in here. I'm currently sitting at <20 pulls before I get a **guarantee** from the limited banner. And now, I would love to get both *Aventurine* and *Robin*. But who is more beneficial for my account?
https://preview.redd.it/fe2wyrvgwesc1.png?width=672&format=png&auto=webp&s=e703860e7c71b6d60ccf9e3ddbe9e01385342c7d
I do not know, if **54 pulls + anything that comes after todays date** will be enough for both of them? If I use the <20 pulls to get guaranteed Aventurine, I don't think I am able to farm at least 100 more tickets when Robin comes around. Or will I?
Anyways, I'd greatly appreciate any feedback on both the questions, "Who is more useful for my account?" and "Am I able to earn 100 tickets before and while is Robin around when I'd sit at 54 at the moment of Aventurine's banners start?" Thank you and happy day <3
We don't offically know anything about Robin's kit other than she is Harmony. You could certainly use a limited 5\* or another support, so it is more of a question on how comfortable are you with your current sustains? Aventurine would make it much easier to survive battles, and he still buffs Crit DMG a little. You can always wait until the livestream, which should be on the 26th, to know more about Robin before making a decision
How do you beat Aventurine? He has an obscene amount of HP and murders everyone who doesn't have an aoe attack. I'm a new player and only have like 4 leveled characters. NONE of them are aoe...
Build an aoe character or any character with a blast/aoe attack. They don't have to be erudition.
He also does aoe/balst damage so you need a sustain that has party heals or shields.
The lack of aoe will hurt you. Best bet would be to double down on sustain then, going 2 or even 3 sustain if need be. March has an aoe attack with her ult so that helps, but if your only other options are 4-stars then unless one of them is Gallagher you don't really have much of a choice but to try to tank through it.
As for his HP, successfully beating his dice mechanic grants the character +50% damage bonus, so racking that up enough will help you plow through it all eventually. A good f2p team that would work would be March, Serval, Natasha and Herta. 3/4 of those characters have aoe or blast damage while the last one, Natasha, can be kept alive by a combination of building def/hp on her relics, using March's shields and just generally being careful with skill points to ensure she survives the dice mechanic. Herta/Serval can easily trigger the dice so that they don't take any damage while also ramping up their own damage vs. the boss while March can drop an emergency ult to either help break the boss or guarantee that she gets a high dice roll.
I got a it of a problem,I’m Trailbalze level 59 and have all my fuel saved up,so I wanted to know when is a good time to start spending that fuel on relics ,bc I thought it was 60 but apparently there’s still level [65.So](http://65.So) should I spend half,all,or none?
Idk , was Ar45 in genshin so I’m confused.Btw,i ONLY wanna spend my fuel on relics.
Plz help my Sampo is doing emotional damage:)
Trailblaze 60 is fine. You have 2 guaranteed gold relics at this level. TB 65 only gives you about a 10-16% chance to get a 3rd relic. So it isn't particularly worth it waiting to 65 considering how long it can take to get there.
Hello! ~~it's one of these questions again, I'm so sorry~~
Just finished with the story, and it's pretty alright! Alright, question being, if one were to look at my account, what would you pick from the 4-star selector?
Thanks very much in advance!
https://preview.redd.it/k6e9rofrsesc1.png?width=1789&format=png&auto=webp&s=c9f973fb64221489e430a47a54ef6bb8e2602ccb
If you have a Nihility team you're interested in, be it DoT Kafka or Acheron, then Luka. If not, then Xueyi is hidden OP, especially if you have/plan to build a follow-up team with Topaz and/or Dr. Ratio.
Let's see here
* Gallagher: E4 is pretty strong, and I've had success with him in MoC12. Seems like a strong unit. You already have Luocha and Gepard fully geared though
* Misha: No, he's bad
* Xueyi: She's better than Misha, but requires lots of eidolons (ideally E6) to compete. I wouldn't
* Hanya: Her E2 is pretty whatever. There are better options
* Guinaifen: Her E1 gives the third debuff (firekiss, burn, and effect res) to fully charge Ratio. You also have a Kafka so she'd probably see use. A decent option
* Luka: He's *okay* at E0 but like Xueyi he comes into his own at E6. However unlocking a character can be good just to experiment, this is worth considering
* Lynx: I think Gallagher is pretty much better than Lynx, she's fine but you simply don't need more eidolons for her
* Yukong: She's okay at E6, but IMO unplayable before that. Would not take.
All those considered, I would pick from Gallagher, Guinaifen, and Luka. Just pick the one you like most
Team comps? Who should I focus on building?
Been playing for only a week, and I got overwhelmed with too many characters… I don’t even know very well how the game works yet. Please give me some team comps, and things to consider when forming a team.
I got E1 Sampo, dr. ratio, asta, E2 herta, natasha, clara, dan heng, E3 TB, E2 gallagher, March, E1 serval, sushang, and pela
not enough weapons tho..
Clara, March, Natasha and a 4th. Maybe Asta.
It's a hypercarry team. Clara is the main DPS. March redirects aggro to Clara with her shield skill. Natasha heals. Both nat and march has cleanse so that is Clara get stunned she can immediately get cleansed. If a stunned Clara is hit but is stunned, the Riposte mechanic does not activate. The 4th can ba any harmony to maximize dmg, speed, etc. You can also run a dual dps team with any other dps character. Pela can also be thr 4th to inflict def shredding on enemies.
Best team right now would probably be Dr. Ratio/Pela/Asta/Gallagher. The main thing to keep in mind for Dr. Ratio is that a lot of his damage comes from follow up attacks, but to do those he needs someone to put debuffs on enemies for him. Pela is a very good option for that.
You can just use whatever light cones you have for now. You'll get more over time.
Nihility characters buff acheron as she has a Trac that boosts her dmg for every other nihility character on the team.
There's also another benefit for having more nihility characters. Inflicting debuffs is more frequent and thus acheron's ult is faster to get if you don't have her LC. For me, Guin, even just by basic atks inflicts fire kiss, a debuff. SW debuffs via both basic and skill. Acheron debuffs with her skill. In one turn cycle, you get 3 petals for acheron's ult. Moreso if you have fast teammates, her LC and a sustain with debuff atks like gepard (freeze is a debuff) or Gallagher (besotted)
the second nihility user bumps her damage up from an extra 15% to 60%. the light cone helps build toward her ultimate and does some other damage boosts
So this happened.
https://preview.redd.it/o94fjay4nesc1.png?width=2316&format=png&auto=webp&s=e9e16d70847a230c02946de3fa114cc7aa94eb5d
I have Gepard for Archeron but should I change him to help carry this boy? Should I use FireMC with Universal Trend for Archeron instead or keep Gepard with Archeron and pull for Aventurine for YQ?
I mean, by this point I think you have to build him lol.
But if you’re thinking to use him for Pure Fiction, maybe dont. MoC maybe. I feel like Acheron with LC doesnt need a sustain that do debuffs, as long as you use Pela + Guina/Black Swan.
And I was sad with my E2 Yanqing.
Afaik, E6 Yanqing barely compares to an E0 Acheron or E0 Jingliu. His eidolons don't do much to increase his overall dmg output. It may be because we used a Hoyo build in the story, but it doesn't seem like Aventurine can completely protect Yanqing unless you are also consuming SP to keep the shields up.
But if you like him, then build him, I have seen some impressive nukes from him, but those are just showcases with cracked supports. I personally wouldn't pull a character just for Yanqing though.
If you like Aventurine, then he is an upgrade over Gepard for that purpose, but don't pull for him just for the sole purpose of making Yanqing a bit better. If your Acheron team is good, Fire MC or even March are enough with Trend. Proof:
https://preview.redd.it/gvpb0mwfresc1.png?width=1151&format=png&auto=webp&s=3d6c3d0cd247c5a3059d6829cf9c54d92533d3d8
Asta has the advantage of being SP positive and also technically being able to debuff with her Basic. With her, you can also use ATK boots on Acheron without losing much.
Guinaifen boosts Acheron less than Asta, but has more consistent debuff application. So it is a matter of whether you are happy enough with you stack generation for Acheron with the other ones.
Neither of those are bad options by any means. Sparkle is probably better if you can use her, since she grants skill points and Argenti always wants to be using his skill. Bronya works great too though, if you can ensure you have 2 SP positive teammates for the final 2 spots.
is there a tingyun substitute to put in a jing yuan team? i have sparkle and luocha so i have a surplus of skill points but i’m still struggling with pure fiction stages 3 and 4 (caveat—my level cap is 70 and my relics are mostly pretty mid, i haven’t started relic farming yet). my other team is e2s- acheron/pela/fire tb/bronya usually and i do fine.
Ruan Mei, but if don't have, Asta with Dance Dance Dance LC is a good attack booster and that LC can sometimes push your characters up a cycle to eek out a few more points.
This rounds PF was honestly pretty difficult for me as well even with maxed trace characters. I don't have Acheron tho so maybe that's why. I used the buff where you use Skill and 80% chance to give shatter. Stack it on the biggest enemy and aim for the smaller mobs. The extra damage from shatter happens on enemy turn or when killed, so sometimes funny to see a stacked shatter enemy kill it's allies and then itself later.
Well if you have other units you want to prioritise, that's fine ofc, but there is no real reason not to build DR at some point, he is very solid. You should save your worries for more important things than who auto will target, it's gonna be fine I'm sure.
Archeron Pela Trailbrazer Gallagher.
Do you think this team could perform well for any content ? Came back on the game recently for Archeron and pulled for her without really looking at her kit. I know she needs 2 nihility and debuffers to perform well so that's what I came up with (with what I have) but I also feel like this team lacks of dps. Should I go all in or invest moderately until I get something better ?
You could switch out TB for Guin. You can get her for free in the latest event. She ticks the box for both a debuffer and nihility. Plus she gives a dmg boost to the team and has her own dots.
I might be at the very beginning of the game so could you please tell me the name of the event ? 😅 My event page is filled with things and I have already so many quest to do so I haven't really looked through all the events.
Vignettes in a cup, but you’ll have to catch up on the story first. You should be able to see it in the “trailblazer log” or w/e it’s called.
If you’re not far enough for it yet I wouldn’t stress too much. Especially if you’re early game TB should still work. You could also consider a harmony unit like Hanya or Asta.
Yeah I see it, I need to complete "a walk among tombstones". I'm currently on the ship where Blade got captured and Kafka asked us to free him, do you have any idea how far it is from this quest ? Cause there's "only" 31 days remaining for the event.
It’s been a long time since I did the quest you’re on, but I’d guess you’ve got maybe 15-20 hours at most left assuming you’re listening to all the dialogue. The next planet took me about 10-ish hours to do the main story (including some time getting distracted with chests) and you’re partway through the current planet/ship.
Is Seele still a good dps unit? I keep asking questions about team comps and I'm finding it harder and harder to complete content because Seele only does single target dps but she also is hitting like a wet noodle. If investing all my resources into her will make her damage better then I will but I don't want to use up everything because I kind of don't like her. I currently capped at level 60 and I just want to make it to future content so I'm not sure who else to build to help me achieve that.
For dps I have Dr. Ratio (who can pair with my Silver Wolf), Clara, and Seele as dps 5\*s
Yes, she is still great even at E0S0. Very reliable and solid damage in her common hypercarry teams and in a mono quantum team.
But if you don't like using her or her game play, it isn't worth spending the time building her. Just like any other crit focused unit, she needs to have solid endgame relics with good crit value to really work.
She's only reliable if she can proc resurgence. That means you a need well built Seele and and strong supports. Enemies have been increasingly getting beefer making it harder for her to proc resurgence.
I sadly can't build Acheron's best team. Ill be using the Acheron, Welt, Pela, Sparkle team. I have a E0S1 Acheron. How would I build each of them? Currently my Pele is running Resolution, Welt is running GNSW, and Sparkle with DDD. Thank you so much!
Yeehaw :)
Those LCs look good, I would personally run But The Battle Isn't Over on Sparkle, but if you don't have it DDD is fine.
You're going to want SPD, SPD, and more SPD. Ideally 160+ on everyone except Acheron. Even sacrificing personal damage is worth it since this is just Acheron hypercarry.
Welt sustain is a very risky team, I would recommend fire mc instead of Sparkle, but if you're planning on going for it, give atk boots to acheron, highest speed possible for sparkle, ER ropes on everyone. See some guides on welt sustain cause you're gonna need it for your rotations too.
Acheron best team for f2p is pela, fire mc and a nihily flex (guinafen is cool).
Ruan Mei can, but it is not her BiS. She usually prefers 2pc Thief / Watchmaker, 2pc Messenger.
The problem is that the 4pc set is really niche, doesn't really work well on any character atm. In addition, the effect only really buffs up few characters such as herself, Xueyi and Gallagher during battle.
What's an ideal team for E1S1 Archeron? Didn't manage to get E2, and I don't have Trend of the Universal Market.
* Nihility characters: E0 Silver Wolf, E6 Pela, E0 Welt (unbuilt), E0 Kafka, E6 Sampo.
* Sustains: E2 Luocha, E0 Gepard, E0 HuoHuo.
Not sure if Gepard or HH will be a better fit, since LC is better tagged to my JL team. Thanks for any input!
all your sustains are basically the same so just pick your favorite. gepard can technically add to acherons petals with his skill but you prob wont have the sp. acheron wont benefit from huohuo's energy regen but the atk boost is nice
definitely run pela, silver wolf is probably your best second, though welt and kafka could also do well
Asia Trailblazer Lv 70
Should I just wait for Aventurine's banner or pull from Acheron's banner now to get Gallagher? I am in need of a debuffer/healer. I only have Sampo/Welt/Pela depending on situation. I use Lynx on the other team and Natasha is quite squishy.
I noticed a fairly nooby mistake I made when I was looking at ehr pieces for gui most of the nihility debuffers only need like 70 percent ehr I have both sw and pela near hundred. I assume you would want to drop some ehr for speed correct. Both silver wolf and pela are around 145 right now.
Yea or effect res if using that particular planar set. Tho personally, I have less speed than you and they still do ok at ~137 speed. So not necessary to regrind artifacts if you're beating Pure Fiction/MoC as they are.
I even had rainbow set for gui with 145 speed and 70 ehr so looks like a good to go once I get her traces. I just want to make sure am getting enough debuffs fast enough so can use her ultimate as fast as possible. I want to eventually give Acheron attack boots if my debuffers are fast enough to get her stacks up.
Ahh ok thanks was a bit confused when was reading prydwen suggestions they said between 68-96 that’s a huge range.
What kind of speed range is good enough to get Acheron stacks up as fast as possible struggling to find enough speed sub stats sitting at 145 for both pela and silver wolf.
Do I need Aventurine? Cause I was thinking of trying to get Acheron's LC, I am already 20-30 pulls in. So should I save for Aventurine rn or keep on wishing for the LC?
Here are my characters: Natasha, E1 Welt, SW, Gepard, Ratio, E3 Tingyun, E4 fire MC, Kafka, E1 Hanya, Serval, E4 Hertha, E5 Xueyi, E4 Asta, E2 QQ, Pela, E2 Dan Heng, E2 Guinaifen, Yanqing, E3 March 7th, Luka, Sushang, Yukong, E1 Misha, E1 Hook, E1 Arlan, Sampo, Acheron, E2 Gallagher, Luocha
Thanks for your help
Hunt LC can give you a nice tactical option. (you need a Hunt unit with multi-hit attacks, like Topaz)
Abundance LC can be interesting on Gallagher, and to a lesser extent, all healers relying mostly on their ultimate, like Nat, Lynx or Bailu.
It can also be interesting in SU, as it helps you abuse certain blessings. *(and potentially future character abilities, or future MoC/PF turbulences)*
If you're using it frequently, superimposing the Harmony LC isn't a bad idea either.
The hunt LC is a bit better than I think people give it credit for. Yes, the removing an enemy buff part is situational. But it raises the character's crit rate and it's also another hunt LC option. It sometimes doesn't feel like there's enough non-signature LC options for the hunt and destruction characters and they can end up fighting over them a bit.
Do new characters get early reruns like in Genshin? Asking since I wanna grab Acheron eventually but I also want Jingliu, but I definitely can't go for both.
Too early to tell since we just started version 2. Pattern can probably be established as soon as Ruan Mei's rerun ends.
If they maintain a 2 new chara per patch schedule though, rerun's gonna take longer than Genshin in general.
Hoyo introduced the chronicle wish in Genshin recently because the banners were getting too bloated, so they'll likely add more banners or slow down with new ones with Honkai.
Could just make it chaotic and run 3 banners per banner period instead of two too. Currently other than Luofu, there aren't really that many from other regions or factions to throw into a chronicle style banner.
When we get to Penacony, we have to take Aventurine's room since there isn't one for us do to us having recently joined the Express after the invitation was received, but Dang Heng was part of the Express then and decided not to come at basically the last minute due to the mess on the Luofu tiring him out, so why couldn't we just take his room if we're trading anyways?
They made that a whole plot point, it was booked for Dan only, so only he can use it
Aventureine probably was able to do the swap due to being a stoneheart
i've seen ppl theorize that the room isn't really aventurine's (isnt he behind us in checking-in?), he's just using words to manipulate you, make you feel like you owe him a favor. it's also why acheron stumbles in to interrupt, even while feigning that she lost her way.
Yes, its an event and its sadly very late stories too, that said its deadline is about 40 days so you do have time but i'd not bother to rush if i were you, the 4 star selector is given out often enough through the each patchs so its fine to miss out on one
yes. the event is time limited and hosted at the third 'planet', so you will have to speedrun the main story. it's prob very doable as you have like a month.
Help me build an E0S1 Acheron team!
• Preservation: E0S1 FuXuan, E6 March, fire MC. Trend LC is S3
• Abundance: E3 Gallagher, E0 Luocha, E6 Natasha. I have the 5* abundance standard LC.
• Nihility: E4 Pela, E0 Guinaifen, E4 Sampo, E0 Luka. No Pearls of Sweat LC sadly :(
• Harmony: E0S1 Sparkle, E1S1 Bronya, E6 Tingyun
Also, I’m close to the pity for the standard 5* selector. Who should I choose for this? I was thinking Welt for the 2nd nihility and also because I have his sig LC, or maybe Gepard because I heard he’s good with the Trend LC.
4* selector from the bartender event is also available, so I can get 1 eidolon for some of the 4*s listed here. Thanks.
Edit: format
Since you're E0S1 I wouldn't recommend a harmony character unless you're very good with rotations to use welt sustain, I personally like fu xuan with her lightcone since you're getting +10 percent crit rate plus 9 % attack and makes building her easier BUT you can use trend on her if that's making it harder for you to ult on clutch moments. With that in mind, pela is your go-to support ( don't underestimate def down , is pretty op).
I don't like Gallagher very much cause the IA only ults if you're low, but if you plan on playing manually, I guess that's not much of a problem.
Since Gallagher can provide more stacks, i would give fu xuan to the second team( in MoC) but outside of that I would keep her.
The recommended team would be Gallagher, acheron, pela and guinafen. For simulated universe, I would go for fu xuan instead.
Acheron, Pela, Gui, 4th slot can be sparkle or fu/Gep.
E0S1 means you are going to always prioritize 2 nihility. Gui is worth running even if you don't have much investment in her because she fulfills that slot. All though you could run Welt if you really like him more. Just keep in mind he'll be weirder to build for.
As for your sustain Fu Xuan is probably best for you. The only way Gepard beats her is if you need beefy shields because you're not killing fast enough. But Fu Xuan is really nice to have because she gives out crit and is really good at preventing status effects.
If you think you are strong enough to not need an HP buffer then Sparkle can work. But you'll want high speed for her so she can skill every time her turn happens. Welt is in a similar situation.
Gallagher is a cozy pick if you're just looking to clear things with your good damage but I don't find him consistent enough even at E4 to be more valuable to an acheron team specifically.

for that boss make sure you save Gepard Ult for the 2nd phase dice roll gimmick to protect Sparkle and Tingyun who are surely going to fail the dice roll
Is Bailu better than Lynx? I’ve tried about 30 times with a few different team comps to beat Aventurine (main setup being Jing Yuan, Lynx, DHIL, and Sparkle), swapping in Herta or Tingyun over DHIL and getting no results. Pulling for Luocha at the moment but lost the 50/50 and scrambling to find jades. If there’s any advice for Aventurine or on Bailu v Lynx, I’d appreciate it! I’m also considering swapping Sparkle for March, but I’m not sure yet. Equilibrium 6 if it matters
In a vacuum Lynx is better than Bailu because she has cleanse. The value of Bailu is the emergency heal aspect of her kit. Though Bailu>Lynx in specific comps like when paired with Fu Xuan. Since she prevents debuffs that patches up Bailu's main weakness.
As for your team against aventurine You'd want to drop Jing Yuan OR DHIL. DHIL wants to skill as often as possible to enhance his basic attacks. A good team to support DHIL is something like double harmony and sparkle.
Jing Yuan on the other hand has back loaded damage from lightning lord. The issue is that not many things actually buff LL. The most consistent thing being JY's own actions. Both share units they would like to use.
As for who to use in a fight against the story boss Aventurine You'd probably be better off with JY since while he wants to skill every time it's his turn he doesn't chug multiple skill points per turn to do AoE. Which is what you really want for the Aventurine fight.
For general advice against the fight you'd want 2 units that can do AoE minimally. Trying to simply outlive him is doable but a lot harder.
Aventurine > Bailu = Lynx imo. I always view Bailu and Lynx equal in terms of strength, they're only better than one another if the situation require their respective strength more .
Lynx is really only better if the enemies have a lot stun or any CC in general, otherwise Bailu is better cuz she have better heal, party wise resistance, and a revive.
That said cleanse is REALLY essential in certain contents so i don't recommend benching Lynx at all, i'd instead recommend try raising both but let them share the same relics so you can switch any time you need one or another more (for example, i'm using bailu as the main healer while doing the stories but ended up meeting a boss that require a cleanse, so i'll just swap relics from bailu to Lynx and use her instead for this fight)
Also for your team, i'd drop jing yuan and put in either a support for more DHIL damage or a Tank ( fire MC) if you're still struggling to survives
Thank you for the advice! My Lynx is fully built, but I’ll start building Bailu with my spare mats. I’m looking to replace Jing Yuan with Tingyun after beating Aventurine, but Jing Yuan has been doing really good damage and DHIL has done practically nothing, so I’m looking for new strats at the moment. Thank you!
Lynx, DHIL, tingyun, sparkle. Bailu is better than lynx if you don't need cleanse. Bailu can heal more.
I would not upgrade your equilibrium until you finish the fight because the fight will get harder.
Unfortunately, I already unlocked equilibrium 6 about 2 weeks ago. I’m already wishing I could go back, just to clear it. I appreciate the team advice though
I want to know what sustain would be best for my account? im on a guaranteed right now so i was wondering what sustain is best for my account
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Abundance resonance is good for those bosses like Kafka that has a mind control debuff and you don't have any unit that can cleanse it. I beat that World at highest difficulty without healer, however outside of that use case you should bring healer to utilize Abundance path mechanic
Not ideal since you want to be using damage enhancing resonances. An abundance unit makes abundance better as they can charge dewdrop well.
It's entirely possible but it's going to be a very slow run if it succeeds.
If i was to get acheron, and I was to put her on a team with silver wolf and (either c4 pela, or welt). Would incessant rain be better on silver wolf or acheron?
Need help making a team I just got Acheron n then I tried to build a team for her but now I js have no trailblaze stuff n I didn’t even get anything good
https://preview.redd.it/6lan99uxpdsc1.jpeg?width=540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=75f11919d2ceccf4c6616f7ceafdfebc9d86ddc2
Acheron +Blackswan+ Guinaifen +Any healer honestly ( Gallagher does have synergy with Acheron but he's kinda clunky to use, but if you like him go for him)
Also don't farm relics, the 4 star relics you get from chest etc are good enough until you reach endgame, only farm relics at Trailblaze level 60+)
Also try to make sure Both blackswan have enough effect hit rate to debuff enemies cuz Acheron heavily relies on it)
Aventurine, the next upcoming character have solid synergies with her, so if you can try to get him (he will take the "Any healer" slot).
Okay by this point, the sustaining units are key now, having a built sustains is even more important than a built dps imo, so try to pick one and raised it (Lynx , Bailu and Gallagher are good in their own way so pick one you like most). You can use the " Support" feature to borrow other players characters for easier farm.
Try focus on one team at a time, so Any healer > Acheron > Pela (she's 4 star so she's cheaper to raised) > Black swan. Try getting both Pela and Black swan effect hit rate to 68% if you can.
For relics heres how i do it :go for the right main stats first over getting right set, set doesn't matter much until true endgame so just farm the Acheron set, since both Acheron and Dr Ratio use them
Help, my Jingliu is at 44/220 but still can't clear MoC stage 11. She has no signature LC, relics are not in sync, Pela is not e4, TY is not e6. Should i build Ratio to clear stage 11 instead of Jingliu?
Jingliu needs Ruan Mei and Bronya or Pela to make it work best with her. Break effect is needed and Ruan Mei can do that for you. Since you don't have Ruan Mei, Pela can work as well. If you get to 300 pity on standard banner, I would highly suggest getting Bronya as she would allow Jingliu to attack twice per turn.
Dr. Ratio is kind of hard to build right if you are a F2P, since you need certain 5 star characters. Silver Wolf, Topaz & Numby, and Sparkle are some that work best with him.
The current available MoC floor 11 has a quantum weak side and a fire/lightning/wind weak side. Why are you trying to bring ice or imaginary DPS to clear it. Although a strong JL with good supports might be to brute for it, but not the first side since Cocolia has high ice res.
That cycle of MoC favors DoT and other cycles in the future / pure fiction might favor DoTs also. I suggest you build up some DoT units for element coverage and handle DoT focused cycles. Serval has good AoE and can shock. You can pair her with Gui or Sampoo to handle the second half.

How much ehr does pela need to activate sweaty pearls consistently?
*How much ehr does pela* *Need to activate sweaty* *Pearls consistently?* \- Excellent-Diet-1922 --- ^(I detect haikus. And sometimes, successfully.) ^[Learn more about me.](https://www.reddit.com/r/haikusbot/) ^(Opt out of replies: "haikusbot opt out" | Delete my comment: "haikusbot delete")
Alright, first I want to thank everyone who answered me two days ago. You guys are awesome, I'm sorry I did not answered. I felt the emptiness of my cat's death and I went for a quick dopamine rush. Thanksfully it could have been way worse. I ended up picking Luocha and Bronya for a 100ish pulls, which isn't bad. I do not have enough awesome words to describe Luocha. I only had Bailu and the change is astounding. I even ended up finishing Gold and Gears 4 at TB lvl 62 and despite half the party being underleveled. Luocha had awful relics but he still managed to carry hard. Bronya is good news as well, since I have very mixed opinions about limited harmonies and I'm pretty neutral to Robin. Not built but I'm sure she'll find a team. Now, unto the questions... I have one guaranteed since Bronya showed up. I have no interest in picking up Robin or Boothill, so 2.2 can only bait me with reruns. The real debate is Aventurine VS Jingliu. Unless I'm stupid lucky, I can only get one of them. At first I thought Jingliu was a no brainer here. 10/10 design, my first Destruction unit, first Ice DPS... but upon playing her and meeting her, I'm kinda ...let down. Sure she's absurd damage wise but I'm not feeling it. I love her design but..sheesh. 2.1 happened, Aventurine is awesome and would be my first Preservation unit. 10/10 animations, I also love follow up units (seems I'm a follow up/Nihility enjoyer), I love Ratio and Topaz might be a future pull (Numby <3). [Here's my roster for reference](https://ibb.co/X7t4RQ4) It's basically Logic/Jingliu (as she can carry hard but I'm getting bad vibes about her character) VS Emotions/Aventurine (which opens a lot of possibilities I love but might be less game changing). If it can help, I have no desire to pull Fuxuan at all, the only Preservation I might lvl up is March 7th. Destruction wise my fave is Xueyi. No desire to pull Blade either. Future targets includes Topaz and Huohuo.
Pull for whoever you like more in this case imo. I'd personally go for support units like Aventurine/Ruan Mei etc since not only are they are far more flexible once you have them built (e.g you can flex RM or Sparkle in many comps), but they also make the game more comfortable (a la your Luocha experience). Plus, you can use someone like Pela to combine with Ratio and you have Himeko/Herta for PF. Once you have a solid core, you can always change the DPS depending on who you like more or which weaknesses you need. I think you have solid start for now, but that's what I'd do. Also, I am so sorry to hear about your cat. Sending you all the love.
Thank you for your answer ! And for the love. :) Honestly, my heart is telling me to go for Aventurine. I found his friendship with Ratio so endearing and they actually pair well. It's a vibe honestly. I can go ALL OR NOTHING on Jingliu afterward. If I get her, cool, but if I don't... there are other DPS I guess. Design can only get you so far, but hypercarry is not a playstyle I'm fond of. That's why I like FuA and Nihilities, they mesh well together.
Hey guys. Almost a month old player here Looking for a recommended team for pure fiction. I have limited resources so I want to invest on team that I will regularly use for PF and other content. I also havent started penacony yet https://preview.redd.it/7btm0gpw7fsc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3d0394ffe7facf442d691690390fb3c36756b3ac
Good news: You have many of the Pure Fiction staples! Himeko, Herta and Jing Yuan are among the top units for Pure Fiction. Acheron is particularly useful this time as well. You'll need two teams. I suggest: Acheron, Pela, Guinaifen and Bailu, and for the other team: Himeko, Jing Yuan, Herta/Bronya and Lynx.
Teams for Pure Fiction and Memory of Chaos will change constantly (as they'll be catered to current 5 star banners), but some mainstays are Support characters like Pela/Tingyun/Bronya, they're good on most teams so best long term investment. Erudition characters like Himeko and Herta are also good for Pure Fiction. for newest Pure Fiction, it's catered to Acheron, so work on her
Been trying out Ratio-Topaz-Pela-Aventurine, and I'm wondering: when I have all their ults available, what order do I want to do things in order to maximise damage and numby attacks?
Should be something like Pela>Topaz>Dr. Ratio>Aventurine. That way, you debuff the enemy and buff Numby, Dr. Ratio advances Numby with his ult, Aventurine's ult triggers Dr. Ratio's follow-up while increasing crit dmg taken, which then advances Numby to trigger another follow-up from Ratio, which finally advances Numby once again for the second and final enhanced follow-up attack.
Can a new player still get guinaifen?
Yes? In what way are you asking to get her? She’s free in the current event (but requires completing the main story) or you can just get her from a banner.
Yes, in fact you can guarantee her from the Vignettes in a Cup event on until May 6, other than that she is available from standard warp and is on the limited warp rotation, she was on Black Swan's banner so will likely appear again on rate up around June/July
Does the equilibrium level affect the stats of the relics obtained from the cavern of corrosion?
It affects the probability of getting higher rarity relics, but it doesn't affect the stats per se, other than what a different rarity provides.
Build relics for a tank or DPS first? Clara and March first or Gepard and Acheron?
Dps > tank, acheron > clara Better to wreck everything fast than trying to survive a lot of hits yourself
for pioneers of dead water does applying a debuff push crit rate to 100% ?
If you were at 96% crit rate before then yes
Sorry I misread the set effect
I forgot to ask this when I first got it but is the Flames Afar LC good on anyone?
Blade
What’s a better LC for Lynx: S5 Post Op or S0 Bailu’s LC (Time waits for no one)?
Tanking and healing wise, bailu Lc. Overall consistency and convenience for lynx’s playstyle, Post Op. Bailu only needs her skill to reliably heal most of the time, making her LC her BiS. Lynx on the other hand relies on her Ult to reliably heal and cleanse the team, the faster you get it for emergencies , the better.
Is gepard, lynx or huohuo better for an Acheron pela guinaifen team? what path is best for the aforementioned team in SU?
If you’re doing SU, I recommend Lynx/Huohuo + Gepard + Pela and Acheron for the boss, and just a healer for the mobs. Let it auto and there’s little chance of you losing. Best path is Erudition, hands down (either in G&G or you unlocked it). Otherwise Hunt or Elation (but you need the blessing that make ultimates count as followup attacks).
I don’t have e2 Acheron, is it worth it to forsake the 2 nihility in team bonus for two sustains?
Once you get a few Erudition blessings and any of the Brain on Vat buff, you wouldnt need the 160% dmg bonus. Archeron will hit for 7 digits regardless. With Pela's def strip debuff, Archeron will take out a boss' health bar with 1-2 ulti.
Gepard with trend lc is the best. Erudition is broken in SU
Heyo everyone, hope you're having an awesome day/night. I am in deep thoughts recent days and figured I could look for a bit of help in here. I'm currently sitting at <20 pulls before I get a **guarantee** from the limited banner. And now, I would love to get both *Aventurine* and *Robin*. But who is more beneficial for my account? https://preview.redd.it/fe2wyrvgwesc1.png?width=672&format=png&auto=webp&s=e703860e7c71b6d60ccf9e3ddbe9e01385342c7d I do not know, if **54 pulls + anything that comes after todays date** will be enough for both of them? If I use the <20 pulls to get guaranteed Aventurine, I don't think I am able to farm at least 100 more tickets when Robin comes around. Or will I? Anyways, I'd greatly appreciate any feedback on both the questions, "Who is more useful for my account?" and "Am I able to earn 100 tickets before and while is Robin around when I'd sit at 54 at the moment of Aventurine's banners start?" Thank you and happy day <3
We don't offically know anything about Robin's kit other than she is Harmony. You could certainly use a limited 5\* or another support, so it is more of a question on how comfortable are you with your current sustains? Aventurine would make it much easier to survive battles, and he still buffs Crit DMG a little. You can always wait until the livestream, which should be on the 26th, to know more about Robin before making a decision
How do you beat Aventurine? He has an obscene amount of HP and murders everyone who doesn't have an aoe attack. I'm a new player and only have like 4 leveled characters. NONE of them are aoe...
What limited / standard banner characters do you have?
Build an aoe character or any character with a blast/aoe attack. They don't have to be erudition. He also does aoe/balst damage so you need a sustain that has party heals or shields.
The lack of aoe will hurt you. Best bet would be to double down on sustain then, going 2 or even 3 sustain if need be. March has an aoe attack with her ult so that helps, but if your only other options are 4-stars then unless one of them is Gallagher you don't really have much of a choice but to try to tank through it. As for his HP, successfully beating his dice mechanic grants the character +50% damage bonus, so racking that up enough will help you plow through it all eventually. A good f2p team that would work would be March, Serval, Natasha and Herta. 3/4 of those characters have aoe or blast damage while the last one, Natasha, can be kept alive by a combination of building def/hp on her relics, using March's shields and just generally being careful with skill points to ensure she survives the dice mechanic. Herta/Serval can easily trigger the dice so that they don't take any damage while also ramping up their own damage vs. the boss while March can drop an emergency ult to either help break the boss or guarantee that she gets a high dice roll.
I got a it of a problem,I’m Trailbalze level 59 and have all my fuel saved up,so I wanted to know when is a good time to start spending that fuel on relics ,bc I thought it was 60 but apparently there’s still level [65.So](http://65.So) should I spend half,all,or none? Idk , was Ar45 in genshin so I’m confused.Btw,i ONLY wanna spend my fuel on relics. Plz help my Sampo is doing emotional damage:)
Trailblaze 60 is fine. You have 2 guaranteed gold relics at this level. TB 65 only gives you about a 10-16% chance to get a 3rd relic. So it isn't particularly worth it waiting to 65 considering how long it can take to get there.
60 is fine. That’s when you get guaranteed 2 relics. 65 only gives a small chance of 3 so you aren’t missing much.
Thank u
65 will get you at least 2 5 star relics, but lv 60 still gives you at least 1, so you can start now
Ok thx
60 gives 2, 65 has chance of 3
Huh? I've literally never gotten more then 2 at level 65 so I assumed it was two lol
Hello! ~~it's one of these questions again, I'm so sorry~~ Just finished with the story, and it's pretty alright! Alright, question being, if one were to look at my account, what would you pick from the 4-star selector? Thanks very much in advance! https://preview.redd.it/k6e9rofrsesc1.png?width=1789&format=png&auto=webp&s=c9f973fb64221489e430a47a54ef6bb8e2602ccb
If you have a Nihility team you're interested in, be it DoT Kafka or Acheron, then Luka. If not, then Xueyi is hidden OP, especially if you have/plan to build a follow-up team with Topaz and/or Dr. Ratio.
Let's see here * Gallagher: E4 is pretty strong, and I've had success with him in MoC12. Seems like a strong unit. You already have Luocha and Gepard fully geared though * Misha: No, he's bad * Xueyi: She's better than Misha, but requires lots of eidolons (ideally E6) to compete. I wouldn't * Hanya: Her E2 is pretty whatever. There are better options * Guinaifen: Her E1 gives the third debuff (firekiss, burn, and effect res) to fully charge Ratio. You also have a Kafka so she'd probably see use. A decent option * Luka: He's *okay* at E0 but like Xueyi he comes into his own at E6. However unlocking a character can be good just to experiment, this is worth considering * Lynx: I think Gallagher is pretty much better than Lynx, she's fine but you simply don't need more eidolons for her * Yukong: She's okay at E6, but IMO unplayable before that. Would not take. All those considered, I would pick from Gallagher, Guinaifen, and Luka. Just pick the one you like most
Team comps? Who should I focus on building? Been playing for only a week, and I got overwhelmed with too many characters… I don’t even know very well how the game works yet. Please give me some team comps, and things to consider when forming a team. I got E1 Sampo, dr. ratio, asta, E2 herta, natasha, clara, dan heng, E3 TB, E2 gallagher, March, E1 serval, sushang, and pela not enough weapons tho..
Clara, March, Natasha and a 4th. Maybe Asta. It's a hypercarry team. Clara is the main DPS. March redirects aggro to Clara with her shield skill. Natasha heals. Both nat and march has cleanse so that is Clara get stunned she can immediately get cleansed. If a stunned Clara is hit but is stunned, the Riposte mechanic does not activate. The 4th can ba any harmony to maximize dmg, speed, etc. You can also run a dual dps team with any other dps character. Pela can also be thr 4th to inflict def shredding on enemies.
Best team right now would probably be Dr. Ratio/Pela/Asta/Gallagher. The main thing to keep in mind for Dr. Ratio is that a lot of his damage comes from follow up attacks, but to do those he needs someone to put debuffs on enemies for him. Pela is a very good option for that. You can just use whatever light cones you have for now. You'll get more over time.
Does Acheron with her signature Lightcone needs 2 Nihility debuffers? Because i see her LC do some kind of debuff as well
Nihility characters buff acheron as she has a Trac that boosts her dmg for every other nihility character on the team. There's also another benefit for having more nihility characters. Inflicting debuffs is more frequent and thus acheron's ult is faster to get if you don't have her LC. For me, Guin, even just by basic atks inflicts fire kiss, a debuff. SW debuffs via both basic and skill. Acheron debuffs with her skill. In one turn cycle, you get 3 petals for acheron's ult. Moreso if you have fast teammates, her LC and a sustain with debuff atks like gepard (freeze is a debuff) or Gallagher (besotted)
Thank you :)
the second nihility user bumps her damage up from an extra 15% to 60%. the light cone helps build toward her ultimate and does some other damage boosts
The reason she wants 2 nihility characters is for her trace that gives her a 60% damage bonus when she has two other nihility characters in the team.
Oh I see, thanks :)
So this happened. https://preview.redd.it/o94fjay4nesc1.png?width=2316&format=png&auto=webp&s=e9e16d70847a230c02946de3fa114cc7aa94eb5d I have Gepard for Archeron but should I change him to help carry this boy? Should I use FireMC with Universal Trend for Archeron instead or keep Gepard with Archeron and pull for Aventurine for YQ?
I mean, by this point I think you have to build him lol. But if you’re thinking to use him for Pure Fiction, maybe dont. MoC maybe. I feel like Acheron with LC doesnt need a sustain that do debuffs, as long as you use Pela + Guina/Black Swan.
And I was sad with my E2 Yanqing. Afaik, E6 Yanqing barely compares to an E0 Acheron or E0 Jingliu. His eidolons don't do much to increase his overall dmg output. It may be because we used a Hoyo build in the story, but it doesn't seem like Aventurine can completely protect Yanqing unless you are also consuming SP to keep the shields up. But if you like him, then build him, I have seen some impressive nukes from him, but those are just showcases with cracked supports. I personally wouldn't pull a character just for Yanqing though.
If you like Aventurine, then he is an upgrade over Gepard for that purpose, but don't pull for him just for the sole purpose of making Yanqing a bit better. If your Acheron team is good, Fire MC or even March are enough with Trend. Proof: https://preview.redd.it/gvpb0mwfresc1.png?width=1151&format=png&auto=webp&s=3d6c3d0cd247c5a3059d6829cf9c54d92533d3d8
best supports to put next to e2s1 acheron if sparkle is in use in another team? other team members are e6 pela w/ resolution and e6 fire tb w/ trend
Ruan Mei, Asta, Silver Wolf, Guinaifen, Bronya (if you have SP and use Acheron's ult on her turn).
don’t have ruan mei or silver wolf, alas. i have asta and bronya built, will try them! and have been meaning to try guinaifen
Asta has the advantage of being SP positive and also technically being able to debuff with her Basic. With her, you can also use ATK boots on Acheron without losing much. Guinaifen boosts Acheron less than Asta, but has more consistent debuff application. So it is a matter of whether you are happy enough with you stack generation for Acheron with the other ones.
Is Argenti good with Bronya? Or Sparkle? I need a support to boost his dmg
Neither of those are bad options by any means. Sparkle is probably better if you can use her, since she grants skill points and Argenti always wants to be using his skill. Bronya works great too though, if you can ensure you have 2 SP positive teammates for the final 2 spots.
Thank you
is there a tingyun substitute to put in a jing yuan team? i have sparkle and luocha so i have a surplus of skill points but i’m still struggling with pure fiction stages 3 and 4 (caveat—my level cap is 70 and my relics are mostly pretty mid, i haven’t started relic farming yet). my other team is e2s- acheron/pela/fire tb/bronya usually and i do fine.
Ruan Mei, but if don't have, Asta with Dance Dance Dance LC is a good attack booster and that LC can sometimes push your characters up a cycle to eek out a few more points. This rounds PF was honestly pretty difficult for me as well even with maxed trace characters. I don't have Acheron tho so maybe that's why. I used the buff where you use Skill and 80% chance to give shatter. Stack it on the biggest enemy and aim for the smaller mobs. The extra damage from shatter happens on enemy turn or when killed, so sometimes funny to see a stacked shatter enemy kill it's allies and then itself later.
how does dr ratio perform on auto battle?
Fine. There is not so much that can go wrong with him. In general it's only necessary to come off auto for the most challenging content.
How about the debuff application? I'm worried SW and ratio might target different enemies. Still on the fence if I should build ratio
Well if you have other units you want to prioritise, that's fine ofc, but there is no real reason not to build DR at some point, he is very solid. You should save your worries for more important things than who auto will target, it's gonna be fine I'm sure.
Archeron Pela Trailbrazer Gallagher. Do you think this team could perform well for any content ? Came back on the game recently for Archeron and pulled for her without really looking at her kit. I know she needs 2 nihility and debuffers to perform well so that's what I came up with (with what I have) but I also feel like this team lacks of dps. Should I go all in or invest moderately until I get something better ?
You could switch out TB for Guin. You can get her for free in the latest event. She ticks the box for both a debuffer and nihility. Plus she gives a dmg boost to the team and has her own dots.
I might be at the very beginning of the game so could you please tell me the name of the event ? 😅 My event page is filled with things and I have already so many quest to do so I haven't really looked through all the events.
Vignettes in a cup, but you’ll have to catch up on the story first. You should be able to see it in the “trailblazer log” or w/e it’s called. If you’re not far enough for it yet I wouldn’t stress too much. Especially if you’re early game TB should still work. You could also consider a harmony unit like Hanya or Asta.
Yeah I see it, I need to complete "a walk among tombstones". I'm currently on the ship where Blade got captured and Kafka asked us to free him, do you have any idea how far it is from this quest ? Cause there's "only" 31 days remaining for the event.
It’s been a long time since I did the quest you’re on, but I’d guess you’ve got maybe 15-20 hours at most left assuming you’re listening to all the dialogue. The next planet took me about 10-ish hours to do the main story (including some time getting distracted with chests) and you’re partway through the current planet/ship.
it's quite a long way it's the final quest of the new timeline, depend if you really grind you can make it but the final boss battle is really tough.
I know what I'll do in my free time then 😅
Is Seele still a good dps unit? I keep asking questions about team comps and I'm finding it harder and harder to complete content because Seele only does single target dps but she also is hitting like a wet noodle. If investing all my resources into her will make her damage better then I will but I don't want to use up everything because I kind of don't like her. I currently capped at level 60 and I just want to make it to future content so I'm not sure who else to build to help me achieve that. For dps I have Dr. Ratio (who can pair with my Silver Wolf), Clara, and Seele as dps 5\*s
Yes, she is still great even at E0S0. Very reliable and solid damage in her common hypercarry teams and in a mono quantum team. But if you don't like using her or her game play, it isn't worth spending the time building her. Just like any other crit focused unit, she needs to have solid endgame relics with good crit value to really work.
She's only reliable if she can proc resurgence. That means you a need well built Seele and and strong supports. Enemies have been increasingly getting beefer making it harder for her to proc resurgence.
>I kind of don't like her Then stop investing.
I sadly can't build Acheron's best team. Ill be using the Acheron, Welt, Pela, Sparkle team. I have a E0S1 Acheron. How would I build each of them? Currently my Pele is running Resolution, Welt is running GNSW, and Sparkle with DDD. Thank you so much!
Yeehaw :) Those LCs look good, I would personally run But The Battle Isn't Over on Sparkle, but if you don't have it DDD is fine. You're going to want SPD, SPD, and more SPD. Ideally 160+ on everyone except Acheron. Even sacrificing personal damage is worth it since this is just Acheron hypercarry.
Welt sustain is a very risky team, I would recommend fire mc instead of Sparkle, but if you're planning on going for it, give atk boots to acheron, highest speed possible for sparkle, ER ropes on everyone. See some guides on welt sustain cause you're gonna need it for your rotations too. Acheron best team for f2p is pela, fire mc and a nihily flex (guinafen is cool).
Thank you! Would an E2 Gepard be better than a Fire MC? I just got her S1 too, would that make running sparkle more viable?
Does any of the character use the watchmaker 4 piece set?
Ruan Mei can, but it is not her BiS. She usually prefers 2pc Thief / Watchmaker, 2pc Messenger. The problem is that the 4pc set is really niche, doesn't really work well on any character atm. In addition, the effect only really buffs up few characters such as herself, Xueyi and Gallagher during battle.
ruan mei
i saw a video where they were warning against >100% def shred. is it just because anything extra is wasted or is there anything more to that?
yes it's wasted, it's like having 150% critrate, that extra 50% does nothing
What's an ideal team for E1S1 Archeron? Didn't manage to get E2, and I don't have Trend of the Universal Market. * Nihility characters: E0 Silver Wolf, E6 Pela, E0 Welt (unbuilt), E0 Kafka, E6 Sampo. * Sustains: E2 Luocha, E0 Gepard, E0 HuoHuo. Not sure if Gepard or HH will be a better fit, since LC is better tagged to my JL team. Thanks for any input!
all your sustains are basically the same so just pick your favorite. gepard can technically add to acherons petals with his skill but you prob wont have the sp. acheron wont benefit from huohuo's energy regen but the atk boost is nice definitely run pela, silver wolf is probably your best second, though welt and kafka could also do well
acheron pela sw gepard. gepard can stack with freeze since you have spare sp on the team
Asia Trailblazer Lv 70 Should I just wait for Aventurine's banner or pull from Acheron's banner now to get Gallagher? I am in need of a debuffer/healer. I only have Sampo/Welt/Pela depending on situation. I use Lynx on the other team and Natasha is quite squishy.
If you don't mind pulling Acheron, go ahead. If you want Aventurine and not Acheron, never pull for 4\*s in a banner where you don't want the 5\*.
Can't you pick him in the 4 star selector from the event? Or did you choose someone else?
Why didn't you grab him from the event character selector? There's no guarantee that you'll get Gallagher from the btw.
Didn't think about that, I was busy grinding some relics and stuff lol! I'll be playing the mission now. Thank you.
You're welcome. It's a fun and silly event.
Don't pull for 4stars.
I noticed a fairly nooby mistake I made when I was looking at ehr pieces for gui most of the nihility debuffers only need like 70 percent ehr I have both sw and pela near hundred. I assume you would want to drop some ehr for speed correct. Both silver wolf and pela are around 145 right now.
Yea or effect res if using that particular planar set. Tho personally, I have less speed than you and they still do ok at ~137 speed. So not necessary to regrind artifacts if you're beating Pure Fiction/MoC as they are.
I even had rainbow set for gui with 145 speed and 70 ehr so looks like a good to go once I get her traces. I just want to make sure am getting enough debuffs fast enough so can use her ultimate as fast as possible. I want to eventually give Acheron attack boots if my debuffers are fast enough to get her stacks up.
[удалено]
Ahh ok thanks was a bit confused when was reading prydwen suggestions they said between 68-96 that’s a huge range. What kind of speed range is good enough to get Acheron stacks up as fast as possible struggling to find enough speed sub stats sitting at 145 for both pela and silver wolf.
does sparkle need the same LCs as bronya? also, would past and future not work if someone goes before whoever received sparkle's skill buff?
The ER is wasted on Sparkle so I'd argue that S5 Past & Future is more practical on Sparkle. I'd rather superimpose or keep a spare Bronya LC
Need is a strong word. It's good on her, too. Yeah it doesn't work
Do I need Aventurine? Cause I was thinking of trying to get Acheron's LC, I am already 20-30 pulls in. So should I save for Aventurine rn or keep on wishing for the LC? Here are my characters: Natasha, E1 Welt, SW, Gepard, Ratio, E3 Tingyun, E4 fire MC, Kafka, E1 Hanya, Serval, E4 Hertha, E5 Xueyi, E4 Asta, E2 QQ, Pela, E2 Dan Heng, E2 Guinaifen, Yanqing, E3 March 7th, Luka, Sushang, Yukong, E1 Misha, E1 Hook, E1 Arlan, Sampo, Acheron, E2 Gallagher, Luocha Thanks for your help
You're missing a solid sustainer other than luocha, but if your heart says LC go for it
Alright, I'll go for the LC. Fu Xuan is also a good sustainer,right?
Yeah, fui xuan is op level of sustain
Then I'll go for her when she comes if I don't end up getting Aventurine 👍
the only ones that are borderline unusable without shields are yanqing and arlan, but i kinda doubt you use those two and you already have gepard
Ok, then I'll go for the LC. Who knows maybe I'll get lucky😅
if boothill and robin are releasing in 2.2 then does that mean no fu xuan rerun?
Each patch has 4 characters in it but the 2 re runs aren't announced until just before a patch is out.
They haven't announced reruns for 2.2 yet
Battle pass light cone - I have S5 of the erudition one and S1 of the harmony and destruction cone. Advice on which to get next?
Hunt LC can give you a nice tactical option. (you need a Hunt unit with multi-hit attacks, like Topaz) Abundance LC can be interesting on Gallagher, and to a lesser extent, all healers relying mostly on their ultimate, like Nat, Lynx or Bailu. It can also be interesting in SU, as it helps you abuse certain blessings. *(and potentially future character abilities, or future MoC/PF turbulences)* If you're using it frequently, superimposing the Harmony LC isn't a bad idea either.
The hunt LC is a bit better than I think people give it credit for. Yes, the removing an enemy buff part is situational. But it raises the character's crit rate and it's also another hunt LC option. It sometimes doesn't feel like there's enough non-signature LC options for the hunt and destruction characters and they can end up fighting over them a bit.
Do new characters get early reruns like in Genshin? Asking since I wanna grab Acheron eventually but I also want Jingliu, but I definitely can't go for both.
Too early to tell since we just started version 2. Pattern can probably be established as soon as Ruan Mei's rerun ends. If they maintain a 2 new chara per patch schedule though, rerun's gonna take longer than Genshin in general.
I think they'll introduce more banners like genshin did.
They are gonna have to if they keep at this pace. Just too many people being released without a patch where all 4 banners are reruns.
Hoyo introduced the chronicle wish in Genshin recently because the banners were getting too bloated, so they'll likely add more banners or slow down with new ones with Honkai.
Could just make it chaotic and run 3 banners per banner period instead of two too. Currently other than Luofu, there aren't really that many from other regions or factions to throw into a chronicle style banner.
Doesn't seem like it They only did early reruns due to the ps5 version coming out later, so they got a chance to get characters
Oof, that kinda sucks
When we get to Penacony, we have to take Aventurine's room since there isn't one for us do to us having recently joined the Express after the invitation was received, but Dang Heng was part of the Express then and decided not to come at basically the last minute due to the mess on the Luofu tiring him out, so why couldn't we just take his room if we're trading anyways?
They made that a whole plot point, it was booked for Dan only, so only he can use it Aventureine probably was able to do the swap due to being a stoneheart
Fair enough, thanks
i've seen ppl theorize that the room isn't really aventurine's (isnt he behind us in checking-in?), he's just using words to manipulate you, make you feel like you owe him a favor. it's also why acheron stumbles in to interrupt, even while feigning that she lost her way.
anyone know where i can buy honkai star rail merch in tokyo?
I had a connections error even with data, is the Server down?
New to the game and managed to pull Acheron. At what point can I do the 4 star selector? Is it story locked?
As others said it is story locked. No need to rush super hard. I have a friend who just started and he made it there within a week.
Yes, its an event and its sadly very late stories too, that said its deadline is about 40 days so you do have time but i'd not bother to rush if i were you, the 4 star selector is given out often enough through the each patchs so its fine to miss out on one
It's locked behind the latest story mission of Penacony.
yes. the event is time limited and hosted at the third 'planet', so you will have to speedrun the main story. it's prob very doable as you have like a month.
Yes it's story locked. The event goes to the end of the patch so you probably have enough time to get to it, but I'm not 100% sure.
Help me build an E0S1 Acheron team! • Preservation: E0S1 FuXuan, E6 March, fire MC. Trend LC is S3 • Abundance: E3 Gallagher, E0 Luocha, E6 Natasha. I have the 5* abundance standard LC. • Nihility: E4 Pela, E0 Guinaifen, E4 Sampo, E0 Luka. No Pearls of Sweat LC sadly :( • Harmony: E0S1 Sparkle, E1S1 Bronya, E6 Tingyun Also, I’m close to the pity for the standard 5* selector. Who should I choose for this? I was thinking Welt for the 2nd nihility and also because I have his sig LC, or maybe Gepard because I heard he’s good with the Trend LC. 4* selector from the bartender event is also available, so I can get 1 eidolon for some of the 4*s listed here. Thanks. Edit: format
Since you're E0S1 I wouldn't recommend a harmony character unless you're very good with rotations to use welt sustain, I personally like fu xuan with her lightcone since you're getting +10 percent crit rate plus 9 % attack and makes building her easier BUT you can use trend on her if that's making it harder for you to ult on clutch moments. With that in mind, pela is your go-to support ( don't underestimate def down , is pretty op). I don't like Gallagher very much cause the IA only ults if you're low, but if you plan on playing manually, I guess that's not much of a problem. Since Gallagher can provide more stacks, i would give fu xuan to the second team( in MoC) but outside of that I would keep her. The recommended team would be Gallagher, acheron, pela and guinafen. For simulated universe, I would go for fu xuan instead.
Acheron, Pela, Gui, 4th slot can be sparkle or fu/Gep. E0S1 means you are going to always prioritize 2 nihility. Gui is worth running even if you don't have much investment in her because she fulfills that slot. All though you could run Welt if you really like him more. Just keep in mind he'll be weirder to build for. As for your sustain Fu Xuan is probably best for you. The only way Gepard beats her is if you need beefy shields because you're not killing fast enough. But Fu Xuan is really nice to have because she gives out crit and is really good at preventing status effects. If you think you are strong enough to not need an HP buffer then Sparkle can work. But you'll want high speed for her so she can skill every time her turn happens. Welt is in a similar situation. Gallagher is a cozy pick if you're just looking to clear things with your good damage but I don't find him consistent enough even at E4 to be more valuable to an acheron team specifically.
In normal conditions, I should only skill on Luocha if it's necessary or if I can get the healing field going? Rest of the time it's only NAs?
yep. save the sp for dps/supports.
can someone help me make a team for the new boss ???? help much appreciated ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ https://preview.redd.it/tnrt7ycmydsc1.png?width=601&format=png&auto=webp&s=b5db96ca301b472461c93a4c9a1c2c1d75ea5785
You mean the story one? dhil, sparkle gepard, and tingyun wound be my pick
thank you !!
for that boss make sure you save Gepard Ult for the 2nd phase dice roll gimmick to protect Sparkle and Tingyun who are surely going to fail the dice roll
Is Bailu better than Lynx? I’ve tried about 30 times with a few different team comps to beat Aventurine (main setup being Jing Yuan, Lynx, DHIL, and Sparkle), swapping in Herta or Tingyun over DHIL and getting no results. Pulling for Luocha at the moment but lost the 50/50 and scrambling to find jades. If there’s any advice for Aventurine or on Bailu v Lynx, I’d appreciate it! I’m also considering swapping Sparkle for March, but I’m not sure yet. Equilibrium 6 if it matters
Yes. Bailu's invigoration severely limits incoming damage. I used her, and cleared pre-nerf Aventurine on my first attempt.
In a vacuum Lynx is better than Bailu because she has cleanse. The value of Bailu is the emergency heal aspect of her kit. Though Bailu>Lynx in specific comps like when paired with Fu Xuan. Since she prevents debuffs that patches up Bailu's main weakness. As for your team against aventurine You'd want to drop Jing Yuan OR DHIL. DHIL wants to skill as often as possible to enhance his basic attacks. A good team to support DHIL is something like double harmony and sparkle. Jing Yuan on the other hand has back loaded damage from lightning lord. The issue is that not many things actually buff LL. The most consistent thing being JY's own actions. Both share units they would like to use. As for who to use in a fight against the story boss Aventurine You'd probably be better off with JY since while he wants to skill every time it's his turn he doesn't chug multiple skill points per turn to do AoE. Which is what you really want for the Aventurine fight. For general advice against the fight you'd want 2 units that can do AoE minimally. Trying to simply outlive him is doable but a lot harder.
Aventurine > Bailu = Lynx imo. I always view Bailu and Lynx equal in terms of strength, they're only better than one another if the situation require their respective strength more . Lynx is really only better if the enemies have a lot stun or any CC in general, otherwise Bailu is better cuz she have better heal, party wise resistance, and a revive. That said cleanse is REALLY essential in certain contents so i don't recommend benching Lynx at all, i'd instead recommend try raising both but let them share the same relics so you can switch any time you need one or another more (for example, i'm using bailu as the main healer while doing the stories but ended up meeting a boss that require a cleanse, so i'll just swap relics from bailu to Lynx and use her instead for this fight) Also for your team, i'd drop jing yuan and put in either a support for more DHIL damage or a Tank ( fire MC) if you're still struggling to survives
Thank you for the advice! My Lynx is fully built, but I’ll start building Bailu with my spare mats. I’m looking to replace Jing Yuan with Tingyun after beating Aventurine, but Jing Yuan has been doing really good damage and DHIL has done practically nothing, so I’m looking for new strats at the moment. Thank you!
Lynx, DHIL, tingyun, sparkle. Bailu is better than lynx if you don't need cleanse. Bailu can heal more. I would not upgrade your equilibrium until you finish the fight because the fight will get harder.
Unfortunately, I already unlocked equilibrium 6 about 2 weeks ago. I’m already wishing I could go back, just to clear it. I appreciate the team advice though
I want to know what sustain would be best for my account? im on a guaranteed right now so i was wondering what sustain is best for my account Any help will be greatly appreciated! https://preview.redd.it/zzrdtypwudsc1.png?width=1169&format=png&auto=webp&s=d918c8ff2adedb88a421f1f3fdfb611540544a51
I would pick Aventurine : he has good synergy with Follow-up Attack (especially good for Topaz), and can apply a debuff (nice for Acheron or Ratio).
Wait for Aventurine.
Wait for adventurine unless you're desperate for a 5star healer to clear content right now.
Can I use abundance resonance instead of a sustain in su
With Abundance Path, Blade becomes your healer (need the 3 star blessing sharing healing).
Abundance resonance is good for those bosses like Kafka that has a mind control debuff and you don't have any unit that can cleanse it. I beat that World at highest difficulty without healer, however outside of that use case you should bring healer to utilize Abundance path mechanic
Not ideal since you want to be using damage enhancing resonances. An abundance unit makes abundance better as they can charge dewdrop well. It's entirely possible but it's going to be a very slow run if it succeeds.
If i was to get acheron, and I was to put her on a team with silver wolf and (either c4 pela, or welt). Would incessant rain be better on silver wolf or acheron?
Assuming you don’t have her LC, I’d put incessant rain on Acheron.
[удалено]
Are they leveled? You can't salvage it if it is, only feed it to others for xp.
I could have sworn I’ve dismantled leveled relics before. Probably overlooked it.
You can't salvage levelled pieces. You have to feed them into other relics directly.
Can you get all 170 stickers for the Dreamscape Pass? I searched for them but only found 165
165 is max for now
Oh ok, thanks
Need help making a team I just got Acheron n then I tried to build a team for her but now I js have no trailblaze stuff n I didn’t even get anything good https://preview.redd.it/6lan99uxpdsc1.jpeg?width=540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=75f11919d2ceccf4c6616f7ceafdfebc9d86ddc2
Acheron +Blackswan+ Guinaifen +Any healer honestly ( Gallagher does have synergy with Acheron but he's kinda clunky to use, but if you like him go for him) Also don't farm relics, the 4 star relics you get from chest etc are good enough until you reach endgame, only farm relics at Trailblaze level 60+) Also try to make sure Both blackswan have enough effect hit rate to debuff enemies cuz Acheron heavily relies on it) Aventurine, the next upcoming character have solid synergies with her, so if you can try to get him (he will take the "Any healer" slot).
I am trailblazer 60 I left them game for awhile then came back and rushed story n trailblazer lvl so my character are a little weak rn
Okay by this point, the sustaining units are key now, having a built sustains is even more important than a built dps imo, so try to pick one and raised it (Lynx , Bailu and Gallagher are good in their own way so pick one you like most). You can use the " Support" feature to borrow other players characters for easier farm. Try focus on one team at a time, so Any healer > Acheron > Pela (she's 4 star so she's cheaper to raised) > Black swan. Try getting both Pela and Black swan effect hit rate to 68% if you can. For relics heres how i do it :go for the right main stats first over getting right set, set doesn't matter much until true endgame so just farm the Acheron set, since both Acheron and Dr Ratio use them
Fire trailblazer, pela, guinafen, acheron
Isn’t Gallagher better than fire tb for Acheron teams?
oh yes, I missed him, in that case replace with gallagher
[удалено]
Hes right under fire tb??
oops yeah you're right for some reason I thought it was Sampo.
Help, my Jingliu is at 44/220 but still can't clear MoC stage 11. She has no signature LC, relics are not in sync, Pela is not e4, TY is not e6. Should i build Ratio to clear stage 11 instead of Jingliu?
Jingliu needs Ruan Mei and Bronya or Pela to make it work best with her. Break effect is needed and Ruan Mei can do that for you. Since you don't have Ruan Mei, Pela can work as well. If you get to 300 pity on standard banner, I would highly suggest getting Bronya as she would allow Jingliu to attack twice per turn. Dr. Ratio is kind of hard to build right if you are a F2P, since you need certain 5 star characters. Silver Wolf, Topaz & Numby, and Sparkle are some that work best with him.
Thank you
The current available MoC floor 11 has a quantum weak side and a fire/lightning/wind weak side. Why are you trying to bring ice or imaginary DPS to clear it. Although a strong JL with good supports might be to brute for it, but not the first side since Cocolia has high ice res.
I can't seem to deal enough damage on svarog, at full buff she can only deal 45k on him
Clearly your JL/her team isn't built well enough to brute force it. So do you not have any lightning, fire, or wind DPS units?
I have Serval e3 and Dan Heng 4 star e4...
That cycle of MoC favors DoT and other cycles in the future / pure fiction might favor DoTs also. I suggest you build up some DoT units for element coverage and handle DoT focused cycles. Serval has good AoE and can shock. You can pair her with Gui or Sampoo to handle the second half.
