Can We Beat Honkai Star Rail With ONLY Follow Ups?

Can We Beat Honkai Star Rail With ONLY Follow Up Attacks? Is it possible? Let's find out. I've been curious about these Honkai Star Rail Only challenges, and I wanted to make my own spin on it.
I call this account "Elation Only".
This is part 3 of Elation Only, first episode is here:

Honkai Star Rail has an endgame called Simulated Universe. SU includes Swarm Disaster and Gold and Gears. Many HSR Tier List, Guides have been made for Difficulty 5 World. Characters like Jingliu, Dan Heng, Blade, Dr Ratio, Sparkle, Ruan Mei, Bronya, Fu Xuan, Aventurine, Acheron, Topaz, Robin.
Follow Up Attack Only, Elation Only, or OnlyFUA is a series where we use only characters that can do Follow Up Attacks. I may make a Honkai Star Rail Tier List for the Honkai Star Rail Only Challenge that I do from how difficult it is.
Thanks to Tectone, MrPokke, Guoba Certified, Zmm for carrying Honkai Star Rail content and shyguymask inspiring this video challenge format.

So,what do you think is the definition of....the funni?

[@Jackliaa]

I think you should unlock Aventrine's bonus skill. Here's why: Having to always use sp to fully stack your shield is really sp-draining. But with the bonus skill, you can gain shield out of your turn, without using sp. Also, since you get a random amount of blind bet points after casting ultimate, there's a chance of doing a fua immediately after using ult. With the bonus skill, you can try to save your ultimate before the boss' ultimate attack to have a chance of getting your shield up. If you level up your shield trace, even tough you'll get thicker shields, I don't think it will be such a big upgrade, considering you already have thick shields if you stack them. And especially because Ratio and JY are reliant on sp, I think it could help to have more ways of getting shield other than skill.

[@8bitty192]

Go for adventurine’s skill!!!! March is sp demanding..

[@nonamepasserbya6658]

Neither is improtant, upgrade them all anyway since you will need everything for Apocalypse Shadow and the new SU. No point holding them off since you have 3 endgame modes unless you want to ignore Pure Fiction

[@ICNHH]

id say for aventurines traces 100% go for the one that refreshes his shield every time he does his fua

[@Rebber]

Pretty sure that's a Bonus Skill, we'll see 👀

[@diftarafaylo13]

17:13 They really give you a "FUA" unit, Lol :v

[@Rebber]

I was kinda sad yet kinda coping

[@nonamepasserbya6658]

@@Rebber Not even cope, she is a must have for PF cause of how blatantly unfair it is whenever it's a DOT cycle which is right now. Topaz is mid without E1S1, might as well save for Jade for both MOC as Jing Yuan sub DPS and PF. Prioritize Blade and Yunli as well (maybe Moze if leak of him being Hunt FUA Lightning is real)

[@minthecrw]

even though his shield being thicker is nice, aventurine's value relies on it being stackable outside of his turn (this is also what makes him the best unit to run with preservation path, you might actually be able to beat swarm with it). if you decide to max his shield trace and not the refresh, he'll just be a better geppie and not Aventurine of Stratagems yk

[@Rebber]

I think that's what most ppl say, I'll note it down :)

[@minthecrw]

@@Rebber i was actually able to beat diff 5 first try with him and pres path, you should totally try it too

[@LongDeadArtist]

At least it wasn't a complete loss.. good luck! Also I'd recommend new traces for Aven since you can stack DEF, but that trace allows more outlets for moves and will be more useful. You can't strengthen a locked trace.

[@Rebber]

Bonus Skills it is then :p

[@ilussaturn4691]

Fun fact, swarm disaster at least on earlier stages isn't that bad for an elation only account, tho your not other traces but follow up rule might make that a bit different

[@Rebber]

It's very different than your usual Only accounts for sure, so I'm wondering how much suffer I'll have to go through

[@nonamepasserbya6658]

The real strat is pure Preservation with Clara March Aven Xueyi. Ban Propagation and get Macrosegregation blessing ASAP

[@lilylouix9224]

yoo new ep finally! i love the interesting challenges of this acc can't wait to see more of swarm and gng. hopefully you'll get topaz soon :D

[@Rebber]

I'm scared of Swarm so bad

[@enhanciings]

I can suggest that you try save your gold things for claras lc, which heals her everytime she does a fua. Absolute carry

[@Rebber]

I was definitely on the fence about it, it's hard when you use those as emergency funds lol

[@mariogrigorov2904]

Yk you don't need to fight Argenti? There is a line that when u use it he lets you go ( i suffered a few times in order to know)

[@Rebber]

I knew about it after I fought him xD lmaoo oh well

[@ratspew932]

Personally I lost once, changed my team around and prepared, came up to him and accidentally chose the option where he lets you go. I wasn't sure how to feel

[@christionmajors7688]

I feel like lvling Avens skill should be an exception it CONTRIBUTES to his FUA since you ALWAYS need a shield or other FUA's to activate his own.

[@Rebber]

That would imply it's same with March :/ so gotta still have the debate of Bonus vs Traces, lol

[@christionmajors7688]

@@Rebber imo I'd say do both on them. Increases your survivability yet also contributes more to your FUA dmg. Like maybe only to lvl 5 or 6 at minimum and you can't max em?

[@AeonicArc]

I had the exact same reaction when I saw the loss to Clara… could be worse, right? Anyways yay another half hour long video

[@Rebber]

XD it takes a while to cook, enjoy

[@peytonsdeatharea4351]

i love how the hit was on beat 18:36

[@Rebber]

Hehe handy editing :)

[@Ph__nix]

Can’t wait to continue watching this journey and hopefully you could get a amazing buffer like Bronya’s e4 which gives her a follow up attack so you’ll be able to use her

[@Rebber]

She would be so good but one could dream...

[@maxhohn5570]

120% get Aventurine's third trace. This trace enables him to do more follow up attacks (the point of the challenge), since if you don't unlock this trace, follow up attacks don't count towards his blind bet stacks. This is far and away the best thing for your account damage *and* survivability wise.

[@Rebber]

A lot of people are saying this, will note it down :)

[@Angel-Neo]

i really hope you can get enough jades for get topaz before she's gone

[@Rebber]

If not, I can always aim for the other IPC member :)

[@imFrostzy]

i think that, for every bonus skill or trace you level up, you should spin a wheel of punishments. that’s what i’ve done on my harmony only account, and it has worked wonders!

[@Rebber]

I've done that once on an old account, and let me just say, it wasn't sustainable 💀

[@Da-Heng]

WAKE UP!! NEW ELATION ONLY EPISODE IS HERE!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️ Oh and you should get March Cleanse since it would definitely be worth getting as it is a bonus ability so it doesn't count as a trace since you said you couldn't lv (non) FUA traces in the 1st episode!

[@Rebber]

She would be my first cleanser 😭

[@pein4332]

the bugged version of fire dino enters charge at 4 hits and require 12 hits to cancel also i can relate the gacha pain, i legit only managed to e0s1 my topaz when theres like 12 hours left 💀 hope this series/account dont end abruptly

[@Rebber]

I'm not planning on ending it, but the progress will be a tad bit slower :)

[@Idkinsertsomething]

11:12 This piece could actually work for a Blade combo with Jingliu but unfortunately Jingliu doesn’t have a FuA, but it’s still good for Blade if it rolls well even though Wind Dmg% is better for him, it still has potential and can be used if you still plan to use the more defensive play with Nihility in SU once you pull for Blade

[@Rebber]

Clara and Blade will work I suppose, and Xueyi can also fit in

[@Hiya8partyz]

My topaz rolls were pain too. She’s really out here milking us dry 😂

[@Rebber]

Fr fr and she took my gurantee on my main too 😭

[@cleanaccount9991]

I think it is def better (no pun intended) to go for traces, they have far more versatility, I mean it depends on the character, but for Aventurine, you go for traces.

[@Rebber]

That's reasonable, but I gotta choose between his FUA Bonus Skill or Trace, which becomes a debate, lol

[@StormySensei]

Aventurine's A6 trace will give you a permanent life subscription service. #1 priority.
