Honkai: Star Rail

[Lily Emilio]

I don't have Luocha but most of my units loves Ruan Mei and I find Lingsha and Gallagher is enough sustain anyway.
E2 Ruan Mei it is.

You don't have to use the exchange token now. You can save it for later when they rotate other characters in.

[Spartacus]

I see, I guess if they had Sparkle or Yunli in rotation I will get them.

[Maximillion]

We get an exchange token after every e6 if I'm correct?

[Kamera]

Yeah, the meta seems to be that you can exclude 3 standard units with the least eidolons with the new pity mechanic, and just farm overcapped eidolons each time you lose 50/50.

I have E6 Bailu now so I hope I can get more of these this way.

Interview with the lead designer of HSR - https://www.pockettactics.com/honkai.../gdc-interview
Most of it is just "Haha... Can't answer right now, just wait a few more patches."

[Lily Emilio]

Obviously they tried their hardest to avoid touching anything sensitive and ofc using "we don't want u guys to just play 1 team 1 char we want u guys to have fun buidling new teams" to justify powercreep and BiS supports.

[Spartacus]

Which one is better for Cas, Tribbie or RMC? If possible I don't want to use the MC since I'm using her elsewhere.

[Kamera]

Tribbie definitely, with either Ruan Mei or Pela.

- - - Updated - - -

But Tribbie also needs the poet and bone collection set which Castorice also uses, you have to farm one extra set to run both.

[Spartacus]

can I replace Ruan Mei with someone like Sunday or something. She is used on other team too XDDDDDDDDDDDDDd

[mami-kouga]

They do not fulfill the same support functions

You can use him but he's just...fine. The reason is that accelerating the dragon's and Cas' turns would speed up its explosion and team HP consumption, which makes timing a bit harder since her kit requires a bit more planning to make the most of compare to chars like Firefly.

Also since they have a lot of self-advances (even more with sig LC), they'll desync with Sundae quite often, thus not going to make use of his buffs 100% (like Jingliu unable to use half of Bronya's buff due to self-advances).

But I doubt you'd care since you don't participate in the endgame contents in the first place. He should be fine for normal play.

[Kamera]

It's kind of amazing that Castorice is basically designed around having her kit not work with Sunday

[Bobin]

Sunday is ridiculously good for any character that isn't break, so I assume that they did it because they want to sell another teammate for her in the future. Most likely the one to eventually replace RMC. Scummy, but it might end up hurting Castorice more in the long run if they can't work together because any remembrance character that can fully take advantage of Sunday's buffs will have a really high ceiling to compete with.

[asterism42]

IIRC there was some outcry about this when Castorice's kit was first leaked, a lot of people rolled for him on the assumption that he'd be her BIS support

I did participate to get some premium currency but it isn't like, I want to 100% them or something. Usually I only managed to the second hardest difficulty.

Hmm, I suppose I should get Fugue once her rerun come for the other team and bring Ruan Mei to Cas

Oh but does that mean using Ruan Mei's ultimate on Cas team actually demerital? Since that advance forward a little too

That Remembrance char already exists, she is Aglaea.

If you invest into Aglaea E1S1, Sundae E1S1, Robin E1S1, you have the current highest ceiling comp to use in MoC.

Full team advances is fine. Uncontrollable AA is annoying only for hypercarries who are trying to speedtune with a single target support i.e Bronya, Sundae, Sparkle.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Even one of the earliest characters like Jing Yuan got elevated to the point of being able to compete with newer released characters just because of how nutty Sunday is for any summon character who can take full advantage of his buffs. Castorice's inability to use those buffs to their fullest essentially means that her ceiling will inevitably be compared to the likes of Aglaea and Jing Yuan, or any other future remembrance character that gets released in the future that can with Sunday without problem.

I also grabbed a copy of Robin on her rerun, so I now have her at E1S1. Hoping to get Sunday's lightcone in the future. This game truly is Harmony: Star Rail.

[Kamera]

I'm going insane why the hell does HI3 have better event schedule and quality than HSR

[Lily Emilio]

It had always been the testing ground for events to be implemented in all other Hoyo games so quite a few event planning devs are over there cooking.

So I just discovered this thread existed! Posting my UID and profile here, in case other people (on the NA Server) want to add me.

I've been playing since the first month of the game, but the mixture of English VA drama, minimal interest in Tribbie/Mydei, and concerns with story pacing (the story itself isn't bad, but most dialogue feels like it's 2-3 times longer than it needs to be) meant that I held off on doing the 3.1 story until today. Just got to the Grove; I'm hoping that Anaxa (both in gameplay and lore) is enough to reinvigorate my interest.

If not... at least Divergent Universe is still fun.
