I have no idea why I did that, when I watched the vid back I facepalmed lol. Lost a cycle there for no reason. Its actually amazing how easily you notice misplays when youre watching rather than playing.

@@soranamae sometimes you get so tired of your characters getting cc'd that you get cc'd yourself with taunt. Also idk how lynx works but why didn't she cleanse the reverberation off herself? Wild. Anyway anything that gets you 3* is a good run, so... good run!

@@blueberrycrepes Lol Lynx can only cleanse with her ult and if she is stunned she cant ult so... yeah. Problems of being a 4 star. Doing this stage with her is pretty painful, but I dont have anyone better since I dont have Huohuo or Luocha or Aventurine. It really made me wanna get one of them at least, its just another level of comfort.

Well there are a lot more things that go into your final dmg calculation than just your crit stats. Also this is a team game and with this team my JY reaches 97.5/383 crit in combat ( i.imgur.com/QAEq6nV.png ), plus there are still other factors like the MoC turbulence that can give up to 30% dmg boost (additive).

Clara is so good with this team, but even better with Robin. Sadly Im skipping her because I need to save for Firefly.

Yes I mentioned that in the description, it was a bad idea to use that lc in this run. But Genius Repose was on Qingque and I dont have anything better, it was either this or Breakfast.

Yeah it was terrible but I had no choice, if I didnt skill with Bailu I would died... Ive since learned March 7th is actually better in this fight than Bailu lol

@@soranamae you could also have sac Bronya and auto with her to get jingliu’s state back faster but tbh i don’t know if that’s even better

@@senjogaharahitagi482 Yeah it was just scuffed anyway, if I wasnt recording I would have just restarted the run really. But I think its fun to post "bad" runs too instead of just cherry picking runs after 30 attempts where everything goes perfectly which can be very misleading (calling out all Qingque mains lol).

The only two signature lcs I have are for Sparkle and Blade, you can see all the characters at the end of the video.

Seriously... This is why I cant stand playing this game with less than 90% crit anymore, you miss so much. Even worse when youre playing with Sparkle because every time you miss a crit you do like 20-25% of the crit dmg so you might as well just reset. Normally I play Jing Yuan with both Sparkle and Fu Xuan so he has 99% but here I swapped her for Ruan Mei and yeah, I lost the 10% from her LC. I want more chars that buff crit like Sparkle and Fu Xuan, hoping Robin does as well.

Awesome. Im hoping to eventually get E2 Sparkle and E1 Ruan Mei for a combined 44% def shred, I feel like its way better to invest into universal supports than specific dps, but thats because I like playing a lot of different characters and by investing in supports Im making them all stronger at the same time. Also looking forward to seeing if Robin can replace Tingyun in Jing Yuan teams, only a few weeks until we find out.

You mean the buff you can choose before you start? Its the one that adds 1 stack to every enemy as soon as they spawn

Sorry, I always stop the vid right after the run ends, gotta keep that in mind

@@soranamae Thanks for playing himeko! I received her 3 days ago and I'm currently building her

@@YandereAyano I love Himeko, Ive had her almost since the start, she was very weak at first but once you invest into her a lot (maxed traces + nice relics) she becomes a very solid character in any floor with fire enemies Heres my himeko build from the relic scorer site - i.imgur.com/es5aoHi.png

@@soranamae My statistics on himeko are: 36/179

​@@soranamaeyou're Himeko not bad

For sure, Himeko is amazing vs fire weak enemies because you break them so easily and she gets to use her follow up so many times. She is a very binary character in that sense and relies more on weakness break than most. She is really good vs fire weak enemies and really bad without them unless you try to brute force with Silver Wolf like I did here. Silver Wolf is very strong but her whole kit being completely single target really holds her back, so she is best paired with Hunt characters usually, but its fun to do non meta teams like this anyway.

@@soranamae indeed. It seems to work well. In fairly new to the game and lack a ton of buffer characters so I'm slowly building it up. Going to pull silver wolf and ruan mei and hopefully lose a 50/50 somewhere to bronya wouldn't be too bad. I have a fair bit of damage but not really proper support units. Asta Welt Pela Luka where Nihility doesn't really feel like buffer units. I'd love to run my himeko with e.g. a tingyun or bronya AND silver wolf instead of the other options of running Welt or whatever. Looking your sushang using yukong and tingyun for big damages was nice. I generally like double DPS. Hunt and destruction/erudition with a sustain and then whoever is needed. But feels like harmony will be better than Nihility in most of these cases but it obviously depends on the fights if you need dispels on enemies or whatever. Just takes time to get characters I suppose... Every video has a tingyun bronya and it is such a power boost to have those characters especially looking at bronya with her lightcone

​@@tangman9890the most damage in the game comes from Debuffer+Buffer combo tho so even if the enemy were weak to fire SW would still come in handy (DEF shred multiplies instead of stacking, so there's no diminishing return with it). As you're a new player the next patch there will be a kafka banner so you will get a chance to build a DOT team, they're the cheapest team to build in the game as of now (all dot dps use the same relic set regardless of their type) + black swan will be coming in 2.0 and if the leak is correct she will boost dot team damage by at least 50% more

@@troy2223 that sounds really nice. Sadly I'm not a huge fan of dots. I'll slowly build what I've got and see what happens. I have a decent roster now but no resources to level my characters and their lightcone. In at 8 stars moc5. I just lack the damage to make it in the allowed cycles. I'm also lower level than all the content and my traces are ... soso. I'm aware it's simply going to take time but I'm in no rush. I'm going to really hope I can get an Argenti after failing the 50/50 and I've got silver wolf. I can swipe the 100+50+30 once ruan mei drops. That's going to be what 80+40+20 pulls? I'll also get some pulls over time and with the events. I might try to brute force argenti before he is taken away and just hope I can make enough resources. The realistic scenario is that i also have six weeks of making gems on top of said purchase including events and the battle pass again. I should be able to get both so that gives me some comfort and I can just move my sushang set over. What I'm really hoping for is that ruan mei comes with tingyun too. I so badly need her and bronya and I'm giga set. Hanya is great too.

I should start including the full builds at the end of the vid but HSR vids are already so long, thats why I havent been doing it, but Ill keep that in mind. Anyway heres my Himeko and Sushang on Enka - imgur.com/a/RqomzCM

Its pointless because she charges it to full with her first action and Jingliu doesnt want to use her Ult until she gets into spectral state

Tingyun - 153, Jingliu and Pela - 146, Fu Xuan - 134

Yeah that sucks, along with her gems just breaking when they hit walls/objects. But shes a 4 star so very low priority for them. They dont even remember about Geo element, let alone Ningguang lol.

Constellations are never necessary but Yelan C1 is probably the best C1 in the game. Not even for combat but mostly for exploration, being able to use her skill twice in a row is so good.

Sure, Gilded Dreams is the best because it gives 230 total EM but anything works since EM has diminishing returns anyway. Anything around 700-800 is good, at 800 EM youll still be doing 29K burgeons with this team (full deepwood memories + zhongli shred). Highly recommend farming the new artifact domain though, seems very useful for future characters and dendro reactions in general.

You can do burgeon and hyperbloom with a lot of characters but I think its extra fun to use characters that werent very good before, like Thoma for burgeon and Kuki for hyperbloom. You just have to build them for full EM and in the case of Thoma also a decent amount of ER for his burst, and youre good to go. Also the reason you might want to use Thoma instead of someone like say Xiangling is because if you have too much pyro application, you might screw up with the bloom reaction, since dendro cores come from hydro + dendro. A good way to imagine it is, having a priority system for how much elemental application you want. For a burgeon team, it goes like Hydro > Dendro > Pyro, so lots of hydro, then average dendro, and low pyro. Hyperbloom is the same but replace pyro with electro. This goes into elemental gauge theory and stuff which gets more complicated because some elements are weak against others, its like a rock paper scissors game almost. I recommend watching Zajef77 if you wanna learn in depth mechanics of this game, his vids are really good.
