Apocalyptic Shadow Stage 4 | Blade Hypercarry & No Robin Follow Up Team | Honkai: Star Rail 2.3

[@wuttatota148]

You're always giving justice to my favorite Xianzhou characters first JY now Blade 🥺

[@lira5809]

wtf that blade hits diff

[@EveZalines]

I am still crying I couldnt get e1 on Blades rerun, I only manage around 1100 ( dont have galagher tbf, so I run lynx, sparkle and Bronya and it is not optimal for sure xD.), but it warms my heart to see, that he can clear APShadow still rly well. I will make sure to get him e1 next time x3. Love my boy and beautiful showcase!! Thank you for giving Balde lovers some hope ❤

[@MarcelloMax25]

I think you should be able to get gallagher since atm theres a free 4 star selector and gallaghers an option

[@boredwithyou8003]

Yesss!!! Try with Gallagher(since he is in selector in New event) u got this!!! Good luck ❤😊

[@EveZalines]

@@boredwithyou8003 @MarcelloMax25 Thank you!! I rolled a bit on the banner and got him with selector to e2. I will build him now for sure!

[@hungduc212]

welp im now crying because i save 250 roll for firefly and ruan mei e1 and now still no firefly

[@Tylting]

Blade is now my fastest clear for Cocolia lol. The wonders of having one of the buffs work. I haven't retried my Xueyi team but I don't think it'll be that much better without Iron Cavalry or Quantum set. But without Ruan Mei's E1, I was permanently stuck at 1475 with Blade. I once got a really good run that ended the first phase at like 1750 AV but because he didn't have the damage to nuke Cocolia before the AV drained. Also I got Ruan Mei's E1 in one 10 pull trying to fish for a Gallagher eidolon lol. I'm definitely sure I could make some adjustments to the FUA team to get a clean 1500 AV or higher, but it's not worth my time to get 6 more points.

[@nuannathan5446]

Cocolia's resistances are 40% Physical, 60% Imaginary and Ice in this mode. Also you should try Asta with energy regeneration rope + Meshing Cogs s5 + Vonwaq, she can easily maintain the ultimate uptime and will start the fight with enough energy to use the ultimate after one skill.

[@Tylting]

Thanks for the correction. I did want to use Meshing Cogs but I wanted her to truly be Robin at home with DDD giving her some advance.

[@highwaytoheaven99]

​@@Tylting I mean, DDD has to be the best harmony lightcone for this mode. I would say its better than having more ult uptime with Asta + Cogs. Action advance in general is broken in this mode.

[@Tylting]

@@highwaytoheaven99 DDD is just the best LC in the game lmao.

[@moikha226]

I fell like blade's performance can get better if they remove the damage decrease the bosses get when not broken and because there are 2 new break dps i am not sure if it will stay or if it is her because of them and since enemies attack alot blade gets more stacks of his FUA for more damage

[@chronicallygaga]

but thats the core mechanic of this AS cycle, kill the ads before damaging the boss

[@moikha226]

@pixelrose_ I meant that the bosses have multiple attacks in one turn not the ads

[@jamesfrancisgalang7350]

Breaking is the Core mechanic of this AS But expect more new mechanics other than steadfast safeguard Maybe dealing more dmg when hitting boss only, or boss taking more dmg when defeating summons They say they would add new mechanics for us to use new strategies

[@hdmaad]

​​​@@jamesfrancisgalang7350 no, the core mecanism of AS is boss-centered. Cocolia and Argenti has never been specific for Break DPS, they made it that way. Meaning it's tailored for the current banners characters, like MoC and PF. Once Break won't be meta anymore, another playstyle will shine like FuA, DoT, AoE or Hunt. It's basically like the other endgame content, it's a cycle depending on who is on the banner. New characters are always meta the patch of their release. But BE will probably age like milk.

[@Max-x21]

His Ult damage is boosted in this Apocalyptic Shadow, and you could have easily swapped blade out with anyone else, because most credit goes to Ruan Mei and Gallagher

[@catsoup]

as a fellow e2 blade haver since his first banner, i've been a little sad that it's been so hard to fit him in recent endgame content. i have similar-ish investments (i have e1 ruan mei but no e2 bronya/rm sig lc) so i couldn't replicate this run entirely... BUT with my setup and following your vid i was able to hit over 600K on my blade ult 😭i tried using blade here before with fu xuan and i could barely get a 3300 score, i guess it was just skill issue lol now i had already cleared this stage with boothill and couldn't be bothered to actually finish the run because of all the rng haha. but it's nice to see with just the perfect setup, he can perform really well!! kudos to you!! we love to see it

[@Tylting]

Bronya's Eidolons don't really matter. I guess her E2 is good for reducing AV on non-Bronya advanced turns, but still doable without. I don't like Fu Xuan with Blade because it becomes very hard to max out his HP tallies with her small healing and at some point his ult will be used to heal him instead of giving him another talent stack, which is a no bueno.

[@hdmaad]

Don't worry, Xianzhou's patch is coming, and wind characters are expected. Meaning they'll fit the endgame content for wind DPS

[@catsoup]

@@Tylting ahhh yeah :( I definitely noticed the lack of follow ups just made me waste so much AV trying to break Cocolia and Gepard's shield. Gallagher is such a huge difference, I wish I could run him on both sides lol.

[@MinatozakiMiyawaki]

Wait how does his ult works? Is it like higher hp means higher damage cause you lose a lot of hp or is it based on how much hp he lost all throughout the battle?

[@PrimatamaNabil]

His ult by default sets his HP to 50% no matter if your current HP is higher or lower than 50

[@aoikokomi8625]

yes, higher hp= higher hp lost and the extra dmg tally for ult will reset every ult

[@essedieffe]

It is total HP lost before Ult yeah, and the counter resets everytime after Ult. Blade's E1 particularly encourages mastering this part of his kit by adding even further scaling with HP lost before ulting. Good runs!

[@MinatozakiMiyawaki]

Oh thanks!

[@Tylting]

His ult and E1 tally up to 90% of his Max HP and it resets after every ult. Each EBA loses 10%, skill is 30%, and ult is 50%. Getting hit by enemy attacks is roughly 10%. For the 800K ult in the first phase, Blade lost about 20% from being hit, 20% from two basics, and then 50% from using ult at full HP.

[@CodeTetsu]

Seeing Topaz lightcone super imposed hurts my soul

[@Tylting]

I pulled two in the same 10 pull and I was gonna pull for Ratio's LC anyway so I just superimposed it. No other Hunt currently can really use her LC well, so yeah.

[@CodeTetsu]

@@Tylting But like, it’s always a stat stick you can use. And superimposing barely gives a benefit 😭

[@Tylting]

@@CodeTetsu if I wanted a Crit stat stick I’d just get the Herta shop Hunt LC. I don’t have any other Hunt built aside from Ratio/Topaz and they’re the only two who can really use her LC.

[@CodeTetsu]

@@Tylting I guess with enough luck or money you can just do what you want I guess. 😅

[@BailuGaming]

​@@CodeTetsunot superinposing a limited signature is Just hoarding, no one else can use Topaz LC effectively besides her and Ratio, for a statstick Dan Heng 4* LC is better for normal MoC giving more crit and more atk because of the OP passives. The SU LC is already a Crazy Hunt LC. BTW Worrisome Blissfull os the LC with highest Crit value in the game.

[@Nekoziane]

A bit of a random question, but for a FUA team is there a big difference between Aventurine 119 SPD or 134? I managed 134 with DEF boots but I'm wondering if it's really worth it since it's a big investment in spd substats. I really appreciate the love for the xianzhou characters, I love Jing Yuan and Blade and your videos help me build them and make teams

[@Tylting]

134 gives him another turn in the first cycle at least for MOC, so ideally he should be hitting 134 while having enough DEF to have a tanky shield. Normally I wouldn't recommend SPD boots because it means you cripple his DEF a bit, but if you can hit 134 with just substats while having DEF boots, that's perfect.

[@unendingvoid]

Hey man. You said wirhout Ruan Mei E1, blade can't one shot cocolia into the next phase. Whay if you use Gallagher ult and basic on her first while.she is broken? Cojld that be enough and make up for not having E1 ruan?

[@Tylting]

No because Gallagher does zero damage without HMC present for Super Break.

[@unendingvoid]

@@Tylting Hmm. Not being able to kill Cocolia there before Gepard shields would be detrimental to the run no? What should you do in that situation

[@Tylting]

@@unendingvoid Break the shield with damage and take a little longer to clear.

[@notruminari5668]

Thats a Gallagher carry

[@Tylting]

Gallagher carries the entire mode lol. If you want to have some chance of breaking at a reasonable rate, he's pretty much the only option.

[@AloyImpact]

So essentially with my E0 blade I can’t accomplish it?

[@Tylting]

E0 Blade can't get to this high of score yes, but E0 Blade can definintely clear AS in general but at a lower score than this run.

[@tavinhoo]

Topaz E1S2 💀

[@kyleest7540]

Can you explain what happened like why did argenti die immediately after breaking?

[@Tylting]

The FUA buff stores the damage dealt by follow up attacks and inflicts all stored damage once Argenti is broken.

[@a3peak]

tyl pls marry me im first ☝🏻☝🏻
