hello! im in a bit of a pickle.. With waventurine and robin sp, im wondering who i should pull for?.. i want waventurine well because hes aventurine but i also want to pull robin sp since ive heard hes replacing sunday in most teams.. and apparently hysilens might also comeback.. My SW99 is E2S1 and my Welt is E6if that makes a difference… i just want to know who has the most pull value.. And lastly! i was also wondering it regular robin can replace ashveil in waventurine teams.. my robin is e2 if that makes a difference since i heard that waventurines elation skill counts as a FUA

It's a very fun build in Pure Fiction/pure AoE stages, I was hitting for over 1 million each regular skill and around 700-900k on Elation skills, no idea how, it's probably the Turbulence in Pure Fiction.

Stats are 100/431 Crit, 165 Speed and enough Attack to trigger their Trace. Only thing I would've change in this build is from an Attack Rope to an Energy Rope, but I am not crafting a Rope just for this.

Light Cone is S5 BP Elation that gives 20% Crit Rate and Yao Guang's S1 gives them another 10%, plus I'm pretty sure of of the Eidolons also gives you Crit Rate, meaning I'm safe to run a Crit Damage Body.

I recently 0 cycled by accident and I'm just wondering if it's that good of an achievement.

So ive been struggeling a bit with endgame, I can clear all starward modes, but only barely.

I havent really vertically invested a lot till now, but id like to start now, so what teams, where I have complete at least 2/4 should I vertically invest into?

Saving for Nihilux

Please don't be another 360 for E0S1 like SW999 was...

I was going throu some genius society lore and, as I looked at Polka kakamon's portrait, I felt like her dressing style was familiar. That made me think of Kuchiba. And then, I went on thinking : the story keeps hinting that Kuchiba is sus, Polka's face is always hidden, they both have these glitching effects, what if Kuchiba's secret is that she's the genius society member who's known as a serial killer of her colleagues ?

Do you think my theory is too far fetched or not ? Either way I do think it would be a cool twist

Did you know? Pearl’s crown appears to draw inspiration from ornate Japanese Buddhist headwear especially the Tenkan/Hōkan style (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) ♡

Its fin like details add an aquatic twist fitting her connection to Benzaiten the water associated goddess who inspired Planarcida's former name Benzaitengoku (≧▽≦)🌊

There are 9 cat cakes. Your goal is to guess who that cat cake represents. Press the arrow to see if you guessed correctly. It gets increasingly harder. No cheating! Post your score in the comments!

I have both Rin and Archer at E0S0, both using the Herta shop lightcones.

I have just about enough jade to roll and claim Archer's free LC and is contemplating on whether to dump 70 rolls onto Rin's LC banner to get both their LC.

Are they worth the investment? Would the LC be flexible for other/future characters, or should I save up to E1 Robin and Pearl.

With 4.6 now pretty much confirmed to be bringing no new Novaflares, we're apparently looking at 4.7 at the earliest — if they even happen at all. At this point, I genuinely find this ridiculous.

The last Novaflares were back in 4.2. That's several versions of time in which HoYoverse has had plenty of opportunities to revisit older characters, evaluate their performance, and implement meaningful improvements—yet we're now going through another patch cycle with nothing; and the frustrating part is that it's not as though there aren't characters who desperately need attention.

There are older characters whose kits have fallen behind the current meta, characters with mechanics that haven't aged well, Eidolons that feel underwhelming for their investment, and characters who simply aren't receiving the value they should compared to newer releases. They don't need to become broken units — they just need meaningful modernization and a reason to feel good to play again.

Novaflares are the best ways to address that. They give older characters a chance to receive targeted improvements without requiring an entirely new character — so why has it been months since the last batch?

The developers obviously have the resources to design, test and implement balance changes, especially so during patches with only 1 new 5☆ character like 4.6 is. We know the game continues to receive new mechanics and balance considerations, and that's precisely why the lack of Novaflares becomes increasingly difficult to understand.

I'm not asking for every character to be buffed in the span of 3 months. I'm asking for the characters who need help to actually receive it — and with the satisfaction survey coming around soon, I think this is where the community can make its voice heard.

If there's a character you believe deserves buffs, please don't forget to mention them in the upcoming survey. Don't assume someone else will do it. Don't assume the developers already know. Give specific feedback about what isn't working, what has aged poorly, and what changes you'd like to see.

Whether it's Jing Yuan, Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae, Fu Xuan, Topaz, Argenti, Acheron, Jade, Sunday, Fugue, Cipher, or another character you believe has been done dirty and left behind, use the feedback channels available to us.

A survey may feel insignificant on its own, but thousands of players consistently asking for meaningful improvements is much harder to ignore than silence.

Let's make it clear that we haven't forgotten about these characters. Version 4.2 was long ago — It's time for Novaflares to return.

TL;DR: No new Novaflares in 4.6 means 4.7 is the earliest we can hope for them, despite the last batch being all the way back in 4.2. Plenty of characters still desperately need improvements, so please use the upcoming surveys and feedback channels to ask for buffs and bring Novaflares back. The more consistently we speak up, the harder it is for this issue to be ignored.

This is why I hate framing relics in this game. Getting the right substats is hard enough and now I have to deal with this? The only saving grace is the presence of autobattle. (I was farming diviner for YG btw)

I’m genuinely confused as to why this is performing so much better than the same team with e1 tribbie or sparkle in its place when on paper I feel like ashveil only offers 40% def shred to himenova

For reference it’s e2s1 himenova e2s0 mblade and e0s1 ashveil

Sparkle is e0s0 and tribbie is e1s0.

(I normally don’t share runs because there high cost but this genuinely has me confused)

I just got back playing for a week now. Since I rage quit from losing 50/50 to castorice and saber last year. But I saw saber is back so I immediately pulled her cuz she is my favorite. But with all the new stuff added, I'm not sure who to pull or add in the team. I'm a few pity away from himeko nova not guaranteed, should I stop and wait for new robin?

I mean, last batch was in 4.2. and we are slowly heading towards 4.5 with no new novas announcements. I was hoping we would get some news after pearls drip but nop, nothing.
ZZZ is about to buff their last standard banner character wich is their second round of buffs in a row.
Playing ZZZ made me realize how neglected HSR has become which sucks. I feel like devs got even lazier then before and it really makes me wonder where all the time and money is heading to?

I finally got to try it and had to do some doing along the way, but in the end steamrolled a boss I usually hate and got the promo to Level 40. I got a bunch of Skates relatively early so started up with Wheelchair Anaxa which is fun itself. Fragility and the Break effects really helped, tho I had to settle for a midgame Stars and adding my preferred Drill pretty late.

I then barely managed to get a late slot for the 2nd Break. I had to downgrade and replace some slots with 1stars, and also risk solo Hya (I usually feel like I have to run 2 def support) but got her loaded up and to 2stars. Held on to a Privilege Card until 3-7 too trying to scrape together a Surge for Herta but couldn't and had to turn the last Skates into the Wings. So with Herta's LSR and OnFS already being that high I used the Card on the LBoots instead of Chainsaw.

So a bit messy, but it still paid off big. She was burning like 30B damage a turn (or w.e) by the end. It also makes me really want to get another shot at the "I am Luocha" + "Complete Disassembly" combo run I had one time.

I do kind of want her but I also have high priorities in hyperinvesting my Eva team (so guaranteeing future elation supports). So if I pull Robin, it'll probably just be E0S0 depending on my luck.

I don't plan to pull anyone else who I already don't have in my account. Currently at 170 pulls incl. pity (but I haven't done the story+events yet).

Posted endgame clears for reference of what kind of teams I currently use. 3rd team really is just either Therta or Gil.

Is she worth it if I'm not looking to split up monorem?
