Video: Can you beat Honkai Star Rail without relics? My dumb ass which didn't acknowledge relics existence till Penacony ending: Am i a joke to you?

[@Chenexas]

bro how 😭 did you ignore all the caverns of corrosion?

[@pixelowyy_5812]

@@Chenexas Idk man guess i got so invested in story (which is pretty good btw) that i completely forgot about relics I only upgraded characters levels and lightcones when i struggled lmao Luckily that was few months ago and now i have decently build characters

[@SuspiciousScout]

​@@pixelowyy_5812 My dude, I didn't even know it was possible to get that far into the story without getting relics. That's insane. You either had a stacked character lineup or were playing 5D chess during combat. Some of the bosses I fought before penacony with fully built characters felt a bit challenging.

22:40 dang a himeko would have gone hard with the fire comp you kinda had going

[@Chenexas]

true, but oh well Yanqing's light cone was better for me according to the game :D

[@greatwave2480]

Me discovering my characters still have 3-4* barelly leveled up relics with trash stats somewhere around Penacony. And I was wondering why am I struggling and doing way less damage than I'm used to... In my defense I hate artifact/relic grinding, it's the worst part of the game, I got pretty good lightcones and unlocked as many traces as I could. So I was fine for most of the game. Now I'm slowly trying to fix this mess and get good 5* sets for everyone.

[@Chenexas]

just give it time :D HSR is just that kinda game that you get stronger the more days you log in :)

[@notsawaLuna]

Respect for trying the game from scratch, but the most I was willing to try is with LC and Eidolons on MoC, and that was seriously unfun as is already

[@Chenexas]

if you were doing MoC it's completely understandable, especially floor12, which I myself barely cleared with 2 stars lmao (with actually decent relics and a lot of signature LCs)

[@Chenexas]

that without relics is just not worth the amount of braincells you would lose lol

[@notsawaLuna]

@Chenexas Absolutely, pretty sure I only managed it with the help of multiple E2s, and even then it was still RNG hell

[@Chenexas]

they realized that it was too late to properly introduce the big villain lol

[@emptinessitself]

@Chenexas WTF IS SHE EVEN DOING THERE Like devs give us all those questions like "who planted the Stellaron?", "why Sanctus Medicus rose up again?" And they give us possible answers. And then they yank it from under our feet and be like "HAHA! it was Phantylia all along!" Yeah, Phantylia. A character we meet the second plot twist happens. She wasn't even foreshadowed UGH I'M SO MAD ABOUT THIS PLOT TWIST-

yeah Boothill doesnt need a lightcone right?

@@Chenexas Boothill is incredibly strong and doesn't need a lightcone lmao. I remember seeing a 0 cycle somewhere where Boothill didn't have a lightcone and still completely shredded everything. Edit: it was SleepyInsomniac who did that run. But they did use relics so it might be kinda up in the air.

omaygyatt I think the harmony mc thing is so stewpeed I think they shouldn't have changed the mc coming after the sunday thing

thats fair, sorry if it got to you 😥 I have played through the story so much I find everything kinda boring by now, but at that moment I really felt like throwing a shot at the Loufu, and don't worry I attack Penacony too for dragging on for so long :^)

@@Chenexas hahaha, i didnt mean it to come out as hate since its completely understandable and okay to have a negative opinion about it. (I said "i will tolerate the hate" btw)

Honkai: Star Rail really needs a skip button. Most of the stories can take hours of time to finish. Kind of annoying for some who just want to play the game.

[@Chenexas]

exactly!! but if they did that then the game could be finished in like 6 hours so they gotta stretch it lmfao

[@RedWolfWindgear]

@@Chenexas True. Though when got multiple accounts and went through it once. It would be nice just to be able to have the option.

[@chirimeow]

Makes sense that they want you to actually experience the story and lore of a role-playing game. Especially when the story is absolutely worth experiencing. If gameplay is all you care about, maybe play a hack and slash instead?

[@Chenexas]

I don't disagree with you, the story is wonderful, but so is the gameplay and the characters, also I have played through the story a number of times, a skip button would be wonderful, plus I love the gameplay HSR has, and I love the characters even more than anything in the game, ofc hack and slash also has great gameplay (i mean Devil May Cry5)
