Before You Pull Rappa | Honkai: Star Rail

[@Galariel]

I know the 1st of PF is bad, but we have an official confirmation from hoyo that future PF will insta spawn mobs, meaning it's ALWAYS 5 enemies on field

[@kyeopmuwda]

and the new herta SU is kinda hinting at the future PF because some elites/boss keeps spawning 5 enemies every time you kill a mob, + the next moc will have 5 enemies as well. idk maybe this is also hoyo hinting at erudition becoming meta along with summons in the future (like how fua is with hunt this current 2.x patch)

Already got her in the first 30 minutes of her release, and absolutely no regrets, already decided that I'm gonna get her ever since her drip marketing, i already have Boothill and Firefly too, i just love the break meta. Also goddamn, i probably should have seen it coming after Boothill, but i still didn't expect her "ninja" persona to actually have a depressing backstory behind it, i guess galaxy rangers always look happy on the outside only for us to find out they have depressing backstories...... And they're a break character of course

[@fjmoneybagz]

I think these types of videos are really helpful in putting some perspective on a characters potential value. So many times content creators either hype up a character because they are new and shiny and endgame content revolves around them so it feels like performance is skewed. I really appreciate you showcasing her clear strengths and value for someone’s acc (esp if you don’t have break characters) but at the same time being realistic about her weaknesses too. HSR vids are in a real weird space sometimes with unit reviews. I know it’s clickbait for a lot of CCs to say wild shit to get people to watch so I actually appreciate the objectivity.

[@OmegaShanic]

I really like this video, it's the kind of video I wish more content creators made around Rappa. It's a fantastic evaluation of a character's floor and ceilings. Thank you for the content! I would love to see this with Acheron \ Aventurine \ DHIL since they are this patch's banners!

[@kazukinowa]

Different flavors of break, so you get to choose what you like. Single target BIG BONK BOOTSHILL Blast BIG BONK Fireflop or 5 target BIG BONK Skippa Break alone is the honored one 🗣️💯 As for me, my plan is to pick one and hyperinvest in them, cuz my other team is FuA (also hyper invested in).

[@ladyhdwastaken]

@@rinzu3188honestly… Boothill is more flexible. If you pick Bronya as your free 5* from the selector she is one of if not the best teammate for him. He doesn’t need Ruan Mei. Rappa is really good for aoe content and ff is just good everywhere but very restricted

[@ChuppyDuh]

For the second boss in shadow, the play should’ve been to destroy the purple flower rather than the yellow? That would’ve gotten Mr. Pokke to 3.8k points I’m sure! Either way, she did so well on that stage! Overall, Rappa does the best when enemies have imaginary weakness and does ok when there isn’t - and I think that’s perfectly fine! After all when doing MoC, Shadow and Fiction, realistically you would make a team that would suit best to beat either stage 1 or stage 2 and you’d want to allocate Rappa to where she would obliterate the enemies.

[@SmashTheAdam]

I think Acheron, Boothill, Firefly and Feixao just spoiled us since all of them can still do a lot of damage even when they don't match the weakness, but i pulled Rappa i love her, she's honestly so fun in imaginary weak fights

[@cutblack5187]

Imaginary or Fire,

[@ChuppyDuh]

@@SmashTheAdam I agree with you 100%! Even though those specific characters can handle any stage with ease, this doesn’t mean other DPS characters, both current and future, lack value or playability! Rappa is a lot of fun to use and can do just as well as the “meta” units when it’s the right opportunity :)

[@shiternet4045]

The issue is that rappa and firefly are directly competing for the same team, so you can't use them both on different sides.

​@SetTheSeasAblaze its not about that, she is in fact not getting bricked but she has been pushed like crazy, for fuck's sake, she's one of the only characters that did not need a single buff and instead she got Lingsha, we got the choir in MoC on 3 out of the 4 most recent rotations and the current one further buffed her with exo toughness, DU is practically Firefly's playground, this break PF practically fucked everybody else and favored her in insane levels and if AS was not already shilling break characters, we're getting Choir there next rotarion. Its insane how much Hoyo pushes Firefly, follow up also gets a lot of attention but Firefly is just another level of favoritism. Fucking hell even her ornament set was made to not wrok with any other break character

[@blueraine21]

Rappa is only good as DPS for PF Firefly can actually support Himeko/Lingsha by implanting fire weakness, as well as be the main dps Their pull value is simply not the same

[@The_CodFish69]

​@@tr1stonn ya she isn't not not even close, not only do these buffs help her more then BH and FF ( the ET ) but the fact that all the bosses this round has a ton of mobs and Hoolay even summons more so we haven't seen her in a ture low opponent fight. As for raw damage at full buff she can hit harder but that's just for 1 attack after that she needs breaks to re stack so like I said above if it's a low Mob fight and a ST boss by themselves her potential suffers. As for AS and PF well for AS there's 2 fights she's great in and even so Acheron and FF can get similar clears on said fights and in PF its on hold with the rework for now but that being said Acheron and JQ, And FF + Lingsha have gotten 40K no prb so being amazing in PF for Rappa isn't that impressive.

[@lordradiance2530]

I dont know how true this is anymore, but back when ratio topaz was popular, a huge talking point was that fire + imaginary was a combination that could hit every elite. Im pretty sure its just aventurine who doesnt have it.

[@shiternet4045]

The talking point was that fire and imaginary are almost never on the same enemy making them a terrible dual dps comp. There are more enemies with both now though.

[@shotgunshogun4707]

I keep seeing people claiming that rappa and FF benefit equally from exo toughness...that's objectively cap. FF literally benefits the least out of all break units in the game from exo toughness. Which one gets a stacking break multiplier from breaking enemy units? (A bigger multiplier when fullly stacked than even Boothill at 500%)...and energy refunded when anyone is broken including in their install making them ult over and over again (which isn't normal) ? Which one is allowed to do dmg independently from HMC and ruan mei because of that very same stacking multiplier? Let's actually be a bit objective here. i get that having rappa be downplayed is annoying and lame af but let's not just lie for fun in retaliation. Boothill gets more value than FF, and so does rappa due to exo toughness' existence...cause they directly benefit from the actual instance of breaking more than FF. If exo toughness doesn't exist...rappa loses more than half her dmg potential in MOC on avg...but...we know what's coming...and rappa absolutely benefits more from it objectively speaking. FF is still more universal and easier to run into literally any content and her LC situation is much better than rappa which is unfortunate. Rappa LC isn't allat in terms of actual dmg per screenshot but...the av advance and energy are night n day from an f2p LC in terms of overall performance. FF isn't mid...and rappa is absolutely NOT mid either. But there are certain trade offs for each one for sure. But u rly can't go wrong with either. Or u can be a hating loser and keep calling either or both "mid"...whatever gets u going...

The archtype is pretty much future proof in a way...the only way the archtype truly dies off if if hoyovese fundamentally changes the system mechanics of break to the point where everyone becomes a sam bossfight of sorts...cause as long as enemies can be broken ur break units will be good. And rappa is an absolute banger unit...she's not anywhere near as handicapped as people think due to the way she deals her break dmg. So ye, if u like the girl go for it fam. 3.0 is still a couple of patches away.

[@Osprey1994]

So I ran the same AS as Poke with FF E0S0/HMC E2+Coggers/Ruan Mei E0S0/Ghallachad E6+Multiplication...this team got 3200. If I had E6 HMC I can swap the LC on Ruan Mei to HMC, I get a big chunk of extra damage, and I likely score closer to what my E0S0 Fei originally did which was around 3531 (her team has improved). FF is of course also enjoying the break centric buffs in MOC.

[@PerfectMistfit]

Legit if you like FF pull her and if you like Rappa then pull her. I have E0S0 FF, and E0S1 Boothill, and I still want Rappa because I like her animations. At E0S0, or even S1, FF and Rappa perform similarly enough - they even want the same team and artifacts for rn. Either way, when the break meta eventually gets treated like DOT and hypercarry teams all of the break units will fall off. You can argue that because of weakness implements on FF and Boothill can bruteforce themselves into more content but that's like arguing that Seela or Acheron can too (they both can mind you). To me the best break dps is Boothill because he is more flexible team comp-wise (from solo to subdps), performed well even in meta's not favored towards him, and if you vertically invest/whale at E6 he becomes a destruction unit. A more flexible unit in the long term usually ends up aging better since as the meta changes/shifts those units usually can find a use somewhere or can come back to being useful. But saying Rappa is mid because she needs to meet certain conditions is like saying FF is the best because she meets those conditions because the meta is still favored towards her - it's dumb. Overall pull Ruin Mei or Lingsha and vertically invest in your supports as they come out.

[@AngelOnerom]

What are Firefly's conditions, though? The only enemies she struggles (released thus far) are Sam and Aventurine, in my experience.

[@JosepiThe13th]

Rappa is pretty solid in this MoC, but so is a certain Fire break DPS... I was able to almost 0 cycle first try with my E0S0 Firefly, and my team isn't even built with 0 cycling in mind. Ruan Mei is 140+ Spd and doesn't go first. HMC has less Spd than Firefly also. Firefly always goes first and I'm losing action value. I could easily 0 cycle with the tiniest bit of relic tuning. I don't even think an E0S0 Rappa can 0 cycle this MoC. I think you need the lightcone.

[@grigoryp.7366]

imo e2s1 is too high of a requirement, even e1s0 (or arguably even e1) fly is enough to skip rappa unless you really like her, because if you already invested in fly, you don't really need a second break dps, so it's better off wait for rappa rerun (to see if she really pops off with new supports/in new content, or to see how good 3.x dps units will be in comparison). she's viable if you have boothill though, to cover multitarget content.

Back in the day elementail imprint didnt exist...) and with Exo toughness, she will be better (bu ....like FF and Boothil basically?)

​@@yanagishuji1820 it may become the best team, sure, but at the same time it doesn't mean you'd really "want" to pull her. she can be a good pull to cover multitarget content if you only have bootyhill as your break dps, but if you already have ff built (and i assume most people running break team have her rather than bootyhill), imo it's still better to skip her. if she really turns out to be the best break dps released up to that point, then great, you'd pick her up on a rerun, and i bet firefly will have no problems clearing until then. on the other hand, if doomposters are right and she'll indeed turn out to be "skippa", as in not a big enough upgrade over ff overall or there's a better break dps in 3.x, you'd save yourself some jades for better units. it's a win-win situation. so personally, i would've pulled for her right now only if i liked her as a character (at which point her being good or bad becomes irrelevant). not to mention skipping her right now would allow you to see other 3.x dps units, which may or may not be the same to current dps units what acheron was to 1.x dps units - i.e. make them far less relevant, and as a result, make investing into them feel like a waste.

I totally understand using the best in slot team for these very unfavourable situations for rappa. But isn’t the whole point of end game to adapt to the situation? For example in pure fiction nobody except rappa can break in that fight and it’s a break oriented team. It’s just not viable that way, so wouldn’t it be better to forego harmony MC for someone who matches the element that can do good toughness dmg? I’m sure rappa still clears the mobs with ease as breaking the enemy is way more important for her than a bunch more break effect. Just my opinion though.

rappa lingsha is not relatable because they were back to back banners right not to mention right after fei. f2ps either have to had saved or picked between the two

I came back to this video because the Thumbnail changed

[@some_trashcan]

I have two reasons to get Rappa..firstly I pulled her Signature with 2 pity, secondly I have no Firefly/Boothill (Super-/break dps’s) so it’s a no brainer to atleast try I’d say😭🙏

Our favorite hoyo shill 😂😂 missed your content Mr Pokke

[@Nevaryedits]

The thing is they complete erased ice weakness from enemies in the current meta enemies except aventurine Idk if 3.0 comes imaginary or fire will be relevant or not

Just pull new dps, even firefly can implant, hoyo will make her fall with some way to sale new dps

I want to pull her but can’t cuz next banners are Yomi/Aven so sad 😢

Don't worry, I will. Rappeak no matter what shills say.

[@magdalenas.4]

15:34 You do realize that you completely misplayed by not accumulating the blue flowers that give additional break effect to your team? 😅😂😂 As someone, who does this for a living you should know about the enemies mechanics. You might had gotten a better rating choosing the right buff. The yellow flower is more for hyper carry teams. 😅

[@Amir-ry7pp]

so rappa showcase now need to be without img AND fire weakness to be consider good? Might as well put a no lc/relic requirement too.

[@Leo-np7sf]

People forget you need 2 teams for endgame, it's unlikely that there will be no img or fire weak enemies on both sides

[@brianmoore5366]

This is more about comparing her performance against other dps characters rather than her personal performance. Take the top 3 dps characters right now. Feixiao, Firefly, and Acheron. U can put them on element, off element, and enemies that are resistant to their element. They perform exceedingly well no matter what. No matter what side u put them on. So for comparison sake it matters. Consensus she is a strong unit, but not on the lvl of the top 3. Waiting for later MoC's for a final judgements. Rappa struggles breaking off element against boss and elites, but can be supplemented by another unit. She also needs a consistent supply of enemies to break to keep her ult up consistently and maintain her stacks to do a lot of dmg. When she attacks without her stacks her dmg takes a huge dip. Which is why I want to see her performance in later MoC when there are not a lot of enemies to break

[@Amir-ry7pp]

@@brianmoore5366 Throughout the entirety of hsr history, no character ever exist where people tell them to be off TWO element to be good and it just reeks of desperate attempt to make rappa look bad. Do note that since Rappa is very sp positive, she can afford to have a team WITH Boothill. Whats next? people gonna tell her to be off three element? This just goes on and on and on. I can agree when it comes to brute forcing, she may not be as good but brute forcing is simply a matter of performance floor. Its only one aspect. You also need to look at the ceiling. What Rappa can achieve when everything favors her. To that, I say she's better than Acheron and Firefly. Firefly is still the only unit out of the top, that still can't 1 cost 0 cycle btw, let that sink in. And again, you want to see her performance when there's not a lot of enemies to break? Thats just setting her up for failure. An Erudition unit not being as good at single target as hunt/destruction, insane.If you gonna bring up firefly is better for being good at st and aoe, its back to the ceiling and floor point I mentioned. That simply means shes a jack of all trade, master of none. Firefly is not beating Boothill in ST and shes not beating rappa in AOE and thats fair. Its meant to be like that. Doesnt mean one unit is worse than the other. I'm sure I gonna get attacked by opportunity cost argument here, where you gonna mention that you can just spend 10k jades on firefly and clear all content instead of needing to invest into 2 units. I dont think i can argue further if thats what you gonna go about. I just care more about the ceiling than the floor. Also, obligatory Acheron fell off.

[@drweeberwob7849]

RNGesus denied me this one, guess me and Rappa weren't meant to be. 😮‍💨

[@Zavex-r3p]

The first team comp just seems awful, why not at least slot in Herta or some other unit that can contribute to breaking at all? He would have probably been better off doing crit lingsha vs spamming a bunch of HMC/Lingsha skills against full toughness bar enemies with no img/fire weakness.

[@Galariel]

I didn't expect that team to perform at all tbh, you are right, bringing subdps on element to replace HMC is the better play here But atleast we know her worst team cans till do 27k lol

[@Pokeflame]

Fully agreed. Feels just as biased as playing her against choir, just the other way around. At least like... try to put her with a useful team. Pela or Herta or something... hell even Tingyun or Bronya for more ult uptime would have probably been better than HMC.

[@Galariel]

@@Pokeflame but it's okay, this is the last PF, future PF will always have 5 enemies onfield

[@mauriciorosademoraes9209]

Prob the idea was testing her completely off element because none was made it. But yeah, the best option was Rappa/Ruan Mei/Pela/Lingsha

[@userusernomi]

who tf is expecting a break DPS to perform excellently in a scenario where they can't break the enemies? lmao game: has a core mechanic of elemental weaknesses that are supposed to be broken also game: introduces a play style completely revolving around characters needing to break elemental weaknesses to do DMG dented players: "a character is only good if you can play them out of element"

[@vulconix]

no one expecting excellent performance from rappa, but making sure she isn’t borderline unusable if situations don’t suit her.

[@userusernomi]

@@vulconix why though? it's like expecting Acheron to perform well without debuffs. Acheron needs debuffs, Rappa needs breaks. Characters don't have to be usable in every situation. One thing I never understood with players in this game: they talk about their pre made teams like an absolute. The game is literally made to be played switching characters according to the need. If I can't break, I don't use a break character. If an enemy has Freeze RES, I don't expect Gepard to be able to freeze them. It's that simple.

[@vulconix]

@@userusernomi by situations i meant things out of my control. acheron without debuffs because i pulled without a decent team for her would be dumb of me. but my rappa being unusable because of enemy weakness type which i have way less control of is dumb of the game. luckily that’s not the case and she can still break toughness decently even if ineffective weakness.

[@ChainsSSB]

​@@userusernomi it's about baselines. Because this is a gacha game, getting every character simply isn't reasonable for the average player. That's why the concept of "pull value" is discussed a lot. Because every character costs the same amount to obtain, you'd much prefer a character that can do decent in all situations than a character that can be amazing in one but garbage in another. Firefly and Feixiao are considered the top 2 DPS in the game right now, not necessarily because they are the damage ceiling of the game, though that obviously plays a factor, but because there are very few situations where they can't do good to great clears in.

[@rohitghadge3468]
