I'm an og player whos basiccaly stuck in the game (unable to progress). I've recently came back from not playing hsr for a year or more. My only viable team is the meta 1.0 team (seele). I felt like i built my account completely wrong, i rushed my world level quickly to get jades faster. Should i start a new account? I cant do anything except doing events and try getting new teams and building them. But, should i consider starting over?

me watching this video despite nothing wrong w my acc othrr than the fact its only full of support characs

Great content, as always! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (mistake turkey blossom warfare blade until bachelor fall squeeze today flee guitar). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

powercreep exists, but it's exaggerated. Let's take blade and compare him to fei, like Nutty said, blade have 0 dedicated supports, when feixiao had full packet of best teamates, and moc buffs were tailored for her. It's creates an illusion fei a lot stronger than blade, but on sheer paper she can be stronger only for 10%. Ofc it's hard to clear with blade when his best team is robin (atk buffs) sunday (missing summon activation buffs) and some healer. It's bad when you didn't get at least dedicated hp buffer as 4* but it's not a powecreep problem, it's devs didn't listen.. hp inflation made you feel bad, and preassured to pull for new units, because you no longer can bruteforce easily, and you need to consider enemies weaknesses and moc buffs on top of already dated supports for all 1.0 units. Jingliu and blade have 0 dedicated supports, and you know how it feels to play acheron without jiaoqiu nowadays.

I’ve come back to this video a few times. It’s one of the few guides that really focuses on what’s important, and has helped me stay calm during the current banner nonsense.

I screamed a little bit when you said "I know that reading is cringe"

if you lower your world level can you after turn it back to the higher level or will i have to wait until sol progress misson?

Great video! Looking forward to your next one about WW

Already quit the game, personally if they want to make meta shift as fast as they set it right now. They should at least make limited currency secure every unit per released/debuting character Think about for f2p,once you finally completed one meta lineup for a certain period of time-lo and behold,they get powercreeped so hard that enemy have so many thing inflated in favour for newer meta lineup. Already felt so hurt with losing every goddamn 50-50 and missing out so many unit. Monthly pass and BP pass I bought meant nothing in this game if you want to be meta relevant,unless you're lucky HSR feel's bad to play

So there is no way to just get a monster to only drop Molten Rift Sonata😢

I think it's okay to have harder content, I don't think anyone really cares that their 2 cycles become 5, if you can clear the content. It's just that sometimes you CAN'T clear the content with full rewards because you didn't predict correctly. And I'm not saying "invest", because investing is something you can, most of the time, see the outcome. With HSR, you have to PREDICT that a unit is going to survive for a few months, or trust someone saying that, because they can tailor content to completely obliterate an unit, even with high investment. What about making all content with 5 enemies so Feixiao has a bad time? Having enemies that can't have their TB reduced to break Firefly? Or having all content except PF with 1 or 2 enemies so The Herta is done? All these can happen if they want to, and all your "investment" is wasted, because it's tailored to make it hard for older characters. I should've predicted that DoT would be so terrible and abandoned with no new units/relics/ornaments at this state so to never had pulled for Kafka and Black Swan? Because it's not a matter of "my 0 cycles is now 4 cycles", unless you have eidolons and LCs, you have a really head time clearing with them. And then again, all eidolons and LCs for a really bad performance? That doesn't seem fair. There are ways to make content harder and characers appealing (most people don't pull for meta, from what I can see) without having this issue. But they just choose NOT to do that.

I can listen to you yap so keep stuff coming

Maybe play Limbus Company, then.

it's easy to say "we can plan our accounts" in hindsight, but right now we have no idea of how strong the upcoming supports and DPS from 3.x will be, nor how the content will be shaped after them. for example, robin is an amazing suport right now, and everyone is saying pull her, but what if they start making a bunch of HP DPS and HP supports that deal 3x the damage of feixiao teams and the HP inflates 3x to keep up with them? soon enough the people saying "pull robin" will be saying "it's your fault for pulling robin instead of saving for X"

My problem with hp inflation is that previous moc cycle i was struggling a lot wit the monkey boss. I played feixiao for the first half and rappa or ff with the full break team. My break team was getting its ass kicked hard. Turn out i was an idiot who had the wrong relics on Gallagher so ibwas getring oneshotted by the change phase combo attack. After changing that i cleared full stars. Now, this MoCeven my feixiao team stuggles to get sub-5 cylce clear for the first half ("same" boss that last time). And honestly i dont see how i could "pull better" or "plan better". I mean, yeah, i will wait 3 days, pull for my prefarmed THerta, and then i will kick all their asses. But it's just that. Out-of-sync MoC without new DPS just feels bad.

make OURGERNERAL great again!

7:50 - Yes, Blade is alone. Now. But Castorice and Mydei will be HP manipulators. And so, if they get teammates for themselves, Blade does, too. Just like how JingYuan got new life with Sunday. I think, Hoyo (is, yes, greedy and all, but) tries to orient towards this in HSR and Genshin, too. To come up with new units, who has similarly beneficial kits for some favoured older unit. Like how Citlali is good for Mavuika but Shenhe could be used in her place. How Chasca cares about having different elements more than who those elements are. Okay, she kinda sucks, but as she favours Pyro and Ice over Hydro, for example, I'd say she will get better in Snezh. Esp because she seems to be one of those units who's traverse gimmick can be used outside Natlan. They are not just going forward always coming up with totally new kits so all your older units suck. Which is kinda fun. Whu will thy buff next? 😊

Who is this pokke???

I've seen the most shit acherons on multiple videos complaining about not clearing fast enough meanwhile no jiaoqiu on team

"at some levels it's our fault" What a dumb fucking take coming from a player of the game. Most of the older units have lost so much value because at the pace the games is putting out units.

My big issue is the desire to play characters I like being uncercut by the powercreep very clearly enforcing a meta with the goal of making you pull specific characters (Ruan Mei, Robin, Sunday, Firefly and Feixiao) and then artificially inflating numbers to the point that you have to replace them later on (Seele, Silver Wolf, Jingliu, Acheron without Jiaxiou). This meta is sometimes hard to predict when you're not hyper aware of external media and can make it feel like certain characters are designed as bait to waste your pulls (like Blade or Kafka never really becoming meta). Making new characters worthwhile and desirable is obviously reasonable and expected. Clearly the goal is to encourage players to continously invest both time and money into the game, but having this come at the cost of reducing the viability of characters players like and have already invested resources into is simply frustrating and disrespectful towards their previous effort. The evolution should be one of new gameplay styles and mechanics (like the overwold techniques, follow up, super break, summon) or interesting designs and story relevance (Kafka, Acheron, Firefly, Rappa, The Herta), rather than making your existing teams less useful. Keeping the endgame challenging is an important point you brought up, but this can be done through methods other than making hp and damage numbers higher. Turn based RPGs are certainly more challenging to design in this regard compared to action games like Genshin or ZZZ. In these enemy movesets can require skillful movement or timing from the player, but innovate turn-bsed gameplay is possible. For example, changing the way the turn order works, uncleansable status effects that require different gameplay or replacing the cycle based stars with side objectives that are actually related to the fight, would keep the content enjoyable and fresh without necessarily inhibiting returning players from fully clearing. Of course these would be bad business decisions as they would actually make the game less predatory, but I really wish they took player feedback to heart in this regard, as they did with many other things in 3.0.

Alot of useful info in this video. Brand new wuwa player in the middle of farming echoes myself too. Will definitely use these tips while i do my farming. Also waiting to get UL 40 so i can guarantee 5 star echoes.

I'm so ready for these idiots to see the insane HP inflation in 3.0 LMAOO

I wish I could triple like this video dude is funny and very helpful guide

People just want easy mode without having to update their teams or anything at all. If you want to clear the content you can you just have to work for it. Sometimes maybe you really don't have the characters to clear but thats mostly likely because you are new player or have not been playing the game. You can catch back up with the game and in a few patches and be back to clearing endgame like usual. I see so many people saying game is predatory or such and such like it wasn't predatory in 1.0 or many other times like when Luocha, DHIL, Jingliu, Ruan Mei dropped all I heard was people singing HSRs praises and shitting on other gacha games while the hp keep going up. You already knew what the game was when you started is the way I see it. If you can't clear endgame anymore don't worry about it or make the necessary arrangements to clear it.

i think im about 40% game and 60% aesthetics as far as pulls are concerned. I also find it more fun to solve problems i create for myself rather than just following the beaten path.

It's just getting characters to chase resources to get more characters to chase more resources. It's never-ending😂 Also, welcome back!

I don't care for powercreep as much since it's the basis of all gachas, what bugs me is that the lost 50/50s are a complete waste except maybe Himeko as all standards have stronger alternatives at E0 itself & its practically impossible to plan ahead without looking into leaks & stuff. Moreover, most of the new units are without alternatives & no replaceable 4* choices. I hope they reduce the 5* frequency & work on older units to promote their reruns. As a Summoners War player, it shows how much this game lacks when it comes to actual turn based mechanics - we don't have invincibility, immunity, consistent def brk, taunt, non brk CCs (sleep & stun), turn denial to full extent, etc.

I just felt like I wasted my time on HSR, is why I dropped it after getting Acheron 3 and her weapon, I saw no reason as I knew that in the not so far future she would be worse

Nutty 🤝 pokke Fr tho i would love to see a collab or convo between u 2, some of the best for hsr

12:45 THANK YOU I feel a lot of players want to minmax everything and losing a bit of Jades is a disaster. Bro, I play casually since 1.3 and I can do most of the end game content, usually MoC 12 2* and full PF. My vision could be distorted by my above average luck in winning 50/50, but it's the same game for everyone. If I can do it, everybody can.

Your account CAN get weaker because of relic destruction🤓but I agree with everything else hehe

When people discuss powercreep in HSR people seem to not discuss something pretty much built into this game, there is currently no way to make old characters stronger than their current ceiling but content will continue to get stronger. The only way to keep up with the new content is to pull for new characters (or hope a new relic set is released that can boost them up enough), this makes your teams overall stronger but not the characters you have developed a connection with. Our level cap for characters, light cones, and relics has not increased since launch and we are on 3.0. This game was probably not built with this in mind so we cant expect that to change. We'll continue with a cycle of a meta defining unit being released that trivializes content, then content being made harder to bring back the challenge, and then repeat. For the sake of incentivizing pulling new characters, it will eventually become harder to build attachment to any of them since they will eventually be pushed out of the team as a better version is released. That is if the game continues like this.

We need Nutty yappy content reviewing everything in 3.0!

I do believe people pull for character cuz of the promotion these newer characters get for the content creators/ clip where these characters do insane dmg. For example, I play wuwa without watching any kind of external content, just the game and I have pulled only characters I liked, ofc I can't ant clear the endgame content but I still enjoy the experience, while in hsr I constantly try to pull the newer units even if I don't like em that much cuz they are essential for some teams

ADD NEW GAME MODES, don't take away my ability to clear the game modes I could clear before.

Oh yea its not that insane, except feixiao can stack 2 860% ultimates while Seele's ultimate is 425% with a 75% damage bonus. EVERY dps has to come with a weakness ignore or implant ever since Acheron came out to the point that accounting for weakness isnt even a part of the game. I just 36 starred MoC with firefly because the ice and imaginary characters for side 2 of MOC no longer deal enough damage to keep up with 1.6 million hp (twice btw) Like, I come from AFK arena. I know how bad power creep can get especially with the new dragon faction in that game. HSR's power creep is, in fact, that insane.

Our Nut Nation leader is based as usual

My problem is that the game isn’t really getting harder, it’s just getting more annoying. Team building isn’t hard. Boss mechanics aren’t hard. Strategy isn’t hard. The solution to this “harder” content is to just pull these new overturned supports that slot perfectly in place to a team archetype.

The speed of the creep kinda bugs me though. And with returning banners coming in, it'd be nice if it felt good to invest in older characters. Like without even buffing, boost their pull odds and make their banners cheaper in comparison. I don't need the biggest thing, but the biggest thing has been coming in preeeeetty frequently across for a bit and I don't see that settling down. I really want newer players to have fun jumping in and enjoying all of the characters on offer I also kinda would like more diversity in endgame encounter design. Like if more got counters, summons meter mechanics, resource consumption, I dunno they could mix things up beyond HP bloat

As I've said before, I think it's only an issue if F2P players can't keep up and clear, and with proper planning, pulling for characters thag help you and synergize with the archetypes you're invested in, you most definitely can.

I hate how pokke fails to remember that seele jingliu blade and dhil were the best dpeses when they released so ppl who pulled them DID make the right choice at the time but now they r bad

Your also a big saver & vertical investor with amazing guides n strategies for spending resources efficency that's not how most players play

My only problem with this "proper management" and "smart planning" arguments is that One is forced to pull for units that one doesn't like, Just to make the units one like viable. For example: People who want to play Feixiao kind of have to get Robin. Otherwise their Feixiao is too underwhelming. E.g. a team on Svarog's side: Feixiao Topaz Moze Aventurine Won't be able to 3 star clear methinks. But maybe I'm wrong. That's just something I have heard from other youtubers. What do you think?

9:25 Yes, it'd be nice havving harder enemies... But not by making them damage sponges, instead add some kind of battle mechanic

Power creep is not the problem. It's the speed of the power creep and the power difference isn't a creep but a tsunami.

The real problem with powercreep is not the bosess themselves or the characthers we pull, its the Scummy MOC/Endgame format that makes it seem that the current banner is so much better then the units we have.. the marketting gimick and banner placements dosent help too.. but the characthers we have themselves is fine... most peopel who whine about HP scalling dont even have max traces or well built relics

10:26 There's this analogy in a manga called blue lock, and they call it the Flow state where you face the perfect challenge because if it's too easy you'll get bored, and if it's too hard you'll get anxiety.

Agree with you expect that the enemies are getting difficult solely on hp inflation i.e Svarog in the most recent MOC does nothing different from the earliest MOC, hoyo compensates this with the MOC buff but it takes away the strategy of the game. I wish we can have more dynamic bosses like the Slumber Banana Monkey boss or aventurine boss fight without the crazy hp spikes. My biggest issue is the rate of hp inflation is very very fast especially recently.

I dont have problem with powecreep. I have a problem with not being able to use my favorite waifu/husbando in new content. Lets say my favorite looking hero is kafka. And the next big thing is a loli. Why cant i enjoy my Kafka and force me to play full loli team to clear anything new? This is a developer strategy to milk players. But it should be balanced. I mean e6 jinglui is trash tier now compared to e0 Acheron. How can i enjoy my favorite heroes? I can pull anything new and im still mad i cant use my favorite one whenever i want.
