Dude, can't begin to say how much I appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos... Just amazing. 👍

[@thedoom4652]

By the way, the Ice set DOES give Yanqing crit dmg on his ult too. Zajeff77 tested it yesterday, so yeah, it`s just his best in slot

[@lolmeatu]

Thank you Xlice! Finally someone actually talked about TB40 not being the same as AR 40/ 45 in terms of Artifact / Relic grinding.... I was going insane listening to people talking about how bad relic farm is in HSR since they were comparing it to AR 45... HSR has waaayy higher TB lvl which affects the loot drop! it doesn't stop early like Genshin. Also super agree with preferring HSR relic salvage. 1:10 ratio at specific slot is better than 1:3 ratio of any of the 5 slots. Thanks for the great video!

[@ksng767]

HSR relic farming is still worse when comparing at TB60 because not only is there 6 slots to roll, there's also 2 whole sets of 2 and 4 pc, or 3 sets of 2 pieces, leaving no room for off pieces, on top of that there are more stats to roll. Relic RNG is literally a magnitude higher than artifacts in possible outcomes and crafting relics also has RNG, providing less than a drop of help in the bucket to the grind.

[@Mayank_MJ]

​@@ksng767 crafting has a way lower rng compared to genshin, and the no off piece problem is solved by crafting and customising artifacts. Even in genshin you don't get point blank perfect artifacts.

[@fadasd]

@@ksng767 There is 4 and 2 slots to roll, making it overall still much easier to have no off pieces as well.

[@demonsofrazg]

@@ksng767 it's better because you can choose between farming Body+Feet or Sphere+Rope. Having the flexibility to better target the exact piece you want shouldn't be underestimated.

I don't know if you're a teacher in real life but this was one of the most well done and informative videos I have ever seen in general (not just related to the game). Thanks a lot for putting all of this together. Every video I saw before yours just left me feeling more lost. Now I'm starting to get a picture I can grasp/study.

Big thanks, mr pp and the team for putting up this video. You guys just really make comprehensive guides for both games that help so many players like me who often get very overwhelmed and confused with how to build characters. ❤️❤️❤️

[@yhulli]

needed this so badly.. im equally bad at farming in both hyv games, hopefully this will help me more 😭😭 amazing editing btw!! would like to see this more, it gets my attention so well

[@drowsyeidolon]

i literally watch your guides because the details and numbers really help me understand what is the best path and what exactly i want to do. i really was not going to play hsr because all of it seems very ott, like genshin all over again (which i am already so burnt out on) but with gameplay i dislike and an even more difficult equipment system.. it’s guides like this that really take all the pressure (or at least most of it) off of me and really helps me just enjoy the game, knowing i have a really concise and informative set of guides that usually also account for “uncommon” circumstances/scenarios and keep from placing that pressure back on the viewer. you’re at the V E R Y LEAST helping me lessen my anxiety enough to grab Jing Yuan 💀🤣 so thank you!!! maybe i will actually enjoy hsr enough to keep playing… but idk Kazuha is rerunning so who knows, my wallet is hyperventilating harder than i am.

[@ibukunakanbi4428]

ngl I just hit TL 40 and I’m just gonna focus on trace materials and leveling up light cones and characters. Not trying to suffer from Relic RNG, at least not now. I’ll just use whatever 4 stars I have or get along the way.

[@Xlice]

this is optimal, try not to bother with relics until 50 or even 60

[@NeoCarl29]

Same bro

[@jamess359]

True, but Simulated Universe is different due to the skill tree you can level up. I'm TL 41 atm, all 6 universes completed. 2 teams 8 characters built all 4 star relics. I NEED to farm for 5 star relics as that's all I need lol

[@GerriFuryman]

forget about trace and cones materials, dont waste your stamina on 50% chance, its pianfull to get 1 blue every 2-3 runs only. Just wait because on TL50 you will get it with 100% chance and even purple mats. Better farm some EXP and SU planar relics

[@cascaserehg2553]

Thank you, Xlice for such a great guide. Coming from Genshin, this guide is extremely helpful. I only have one nitpick on this video. Having Seele's Ult particle effects in the background while showing your findings and during your explanations. I have visual issues, so I have to look away during Seele's Ult in game. So to have her Ult going off as a constant in the background of your video made it really tough for me. Maybe a more static background when you info drop this much would be better? I know it would be easier for me. Thank you again for this great guide video.

[@dhafinikramkusuma8684]

Okay actually I’ve been misunderstanding Break Effect this whole time so this is much appreciated and will look forward to more in-depth videos. Thanks for this! I haven’t tried relic farming but will plan to do so once I have a more solid team up :D edit: Also while I’m very much a minority, I would like to suggest lessening comparisons with Genshin since not all players (like me) played the game. The explanation is still clear and understandable but just thought it would increase clarity. Thanks!

tysm for this mr pp and team!! ❤️

[@plutotheotaku]

Thank you so much for this

[@jamess359]

One more thought... The choice between Crit dmg or Crit rate 2-piece will also depend on your substat rolls and if you went Cr rate or DMG on your chest piece. Ultimately, I'd go for the crit rate 2-piece. 50-70% seems like a good number to shoot for, with crit dmg being double your crit rate.

[@binnie2656]

I am definitely saving this for the future

[@catlee8726]

Xlice is one of the best content creators out there with the BEST guides I've ever seen change my mind

[@xVaizel]

Now I understand a lot of things, thank you so much for making this video

[@Catgatroid]

19:16 I disagree, Yangqing's next attack/skill after his ult has greatly enchanced crit rate. With the crit rate buff, the skill can hit just as hard as the ultimate, which is why I think the crit damage is valuable

[@j.t.7962]

Or, the extra 12% attack can affect both his ult and skill, so it may end up balancing out who knows. Minor difference, so not worth overthinking it

[@jamess359]

How? If both crit, then the ult SHOULD do more dmg, not the skill.

[@insertnamehere2022]

This is actually very in depth and informative for relic farming thx mr.pp

[@jayashreesinha2698]

i am a Brand new player and i Just pulled Acheron and this has been really helpful to power up my team!!!!

[@bonghy]

Thank you for breaking this down so that casual players like me understand what's going on. Subbed!

[@UnknownSecret455]

19:15 I just recently got Yanqing and I believe that 4 piece Ice set will be good for him as his ult buff affects him on his next turn, so if his ult doesn't kill or it's phase 2+ of a boss his next skill will do immense damage

[@littlex0464]

[@shadownocas]

YOOO at 0:30 that was SO COOLLLLLL

[@Syrahl696]

For Himeko I prefer 2-piece Musketeer, 2 piece fire. 12% atk seems better than 12% damage on her skill only, plus 12% on only one attack after she ults, because her follow-ups are a big chunk of damage that gets ignored by the 4-piece set bonus.

[@BananaWrathful]

Thanks! Been farming a bit for jing yuan and only have a good planetary 2pc, the crit rate set can definitely come later for me

[@johnhallow]

0:27 Holy shit this animation was clean

[@OldDadGamer]

Thanks for the video it helps a lot

[@terramater4679]

It seems crit values are less important than in genshin. With effect hit rate (for dots), break effect and speed ( for additional attacks), there are plenty of competition for increasing dmg. I like that. Also there are no crit stats on weapons as main stat. This is telling me that crit will have a less significant role in this game. I like the debuff path with its unique builds. The debuff system is far more advanced than in genshin.

[@spudgetti]

[@fringfring7142]

Great guide! But i'm a bit confused about the "preferred stats" part, at first i thought it was the main stats for the 4 random main stats, but then i realized it's not, and it seems to be the substats wanted instead, It would have been nice to say which would have been the main stats to try to go for for each character as this is kinda the main aspect here that matters the most as you pointed out

[@TheRilai]

Super helpful ty

[@av1564]

good video, thanks fot the info

[@BlazeLibra]

Apparently 4 piece Knight of Purity works for the entire team when Trailblazer Fire makes the AOE shield effect, so in terms of _team_ survivability, that might work better Not that I've tested this, I've just heard that from other videos

[@Syrahl696]

Yep, 4-piece knight of purity makes my Trailblazer put 297 shield on everybody, up from 247 shield from doing the maths normally. An extra 50 flat damage reduction per Trailblazers' turn is nothing to sneeze at. Especially when the alternative is 8% damage reduction on TB only, when TB is going to be the toughest team member anyway, since you're building defence.

[@mangohush5946]

Thanks, I was questioning his decision on 2p knight and 2p guard. I'll stick with 4p knight.

Thanks! I will start relic farming at TL 40, so for the time being I'm good with 4* relics without any particular set bonus, and just gathering ascension mats for now. Really looking forward to the relic salvage system; that will finally let me grow my hair back (Genshin artifact farming ;-;)

[@diamond5914]

The main thing I know people have to get used to is the speed systems, unless people never played turn based rpgs or certain rpgs before. Speed is arguably the most important stat within any game as it will dictate first moves or cooldowns. Annother thing is that with the addition of speed, you'll have more scaling options, speedy characters you often want to get as much as you REASONABLY can get, people will go to quite extremes to get high speeds, do this to powerful support or defensive characters, or characters who scale off of speed. This to set up your damage or get an advantage with the first turns. For speed scaling, for now Honkai's is jsut a cap of a certain speed (take In The Night), depending on the direction of skills and Light Cones, other forms of scaling can include difference between your speed and an enemy's speed (best example is Savannah from Summoner's War)

[@NeoSpira]

I been playing genshin from day 1 and i wish i could remember how it was progression wise, but i mostly remember it not being this much of a struggle compared to star rail. It's been so long being a new player lol and things in star rail are a bit different than genshin so I'm trying to adjust.

[@altogrey9712]

I like the space sealing station for seele She can basically hav the 120 speed to activate the attack even bfor she starts attacking, with only a few speed substats And the inert salsotto omly buffs her ultimate, which, yes, does big dmg, but atk just buffs her overall dmg

[@fadasd]

It gives 8% crit rate as well.

[@altogrey9712]

@@fadasd yeh true, but for alot of cases, the 24% atk, -which is again,huge- would prove to fare better for seele coz dmg% and atk% works somewhat similarly And as much as like to think otherwise, most of your dmg will be coming from your skill as a dps char, which inert salsotto doesnt buff, unless ig u hav like less then ok crit rate, but uk, still. Even for Yanqing, more than half of his dmg will still be coming from his skill Only characters that really actually benefit from it alot is Clara, since the bulk of her dmg comes from her counters, which count as follow ups, Himeko can be ok with it too, since she can do alot of follow ups, and her burst does hit hard enough, but in alot of cases 24% atk would still at least be marginally better

[@fadasd]

@@altogrey9712 with enough cdmg it will outdamage 24%atk

[@altogrey9712]

@@fadasd yeh but the set isnt giving you crit damage, and also, there are some people i know that already did the math on this, a youtuber, GrimroGacha, my friend is a theorycrafter, like when we played genshin, both took into account the golden ratio of crit, which is 1:2, same relic sets, the herta shop Hunt lightcone, and also In The Night, her signature cone; and the only time Inert beats SSS is when she is E2, and only marginally.

[@fadasd]

@@altogrey9712 True actually, just checked the math myself. You were right. I do think crit makes it easier to gear early on pre good substat relics though, at the very least. I like the consistency on damage, especially with Seele.

Break Effect is How much Damage a character does WHEN they Break an enemies Weakness as enemies will take dmg when their Weaknesses are broken Sampo is a Prime Example of being a character who wants to build Break Effect, Since his Skill hits 5 times each hit Counting as a "Break" hit, could even do a Confirmation test by using a Break Effect Piece and Enhancing it to +3, +6, +9 and seeing how the numbers look when Sampo Breaks an enemy

[@jamess359]

Yes, but do not chase it. His primary dmg comes from dots, not necessarily his weakness break. Keep in mind each element has a different scaling on the base dmg they do on Weakness Break. Fire and Physical do the most at 200%.
