FIREFLY A.K.A. SAM "BREAKS" THE META in Honkai: Star Rail!

[@AristineSilvanus]

There are Alot of things wrong with what was said in the video. 1) u don't need hackerspace to reach the spd requirement for firefly. 104 base + 5 spd +6% from new planar + 10% from RM +25 from boots is already around 150.5 2) atk to be conversion is only 0.8% per 10 atk above 1800 3) dmg reduction goes upto 40% the lower her hp is. On complete combustion, the dmg red is always 40% and she gains 30% eff res as additional 4) Yes there are enemies that locks their weakness. However, among all these enemies, only against Sam where u experience the enemy is locked before taking any action. Yanqing and the Deer's toughness bar can be nuked with Firefly and Gallagher. And Bronya/Gepard's toughness bar are a joke. Same with the soulglad monkey. 5. Choices on the light one is limited? Didn't u just mention that aeon is great coz of the atk to be conversion!? There are several LCs that gives atk% increase under destruction LCs. Clara's LC, Moles, the BP LC

[@wapixelHD]

There's probably going to be a new relic set + planet ornament set for firefly specificly, so hackerspace is kinda useless for FF as well

[@The_CodFish69]

​@@wapixelHDwe know they showed them off in the Livestream.

[@plang-plang5035]

Wait, I don't get your point in number 4. Does that mean Firefly will ignore their weakness lock or she can nuke them when it's unlocked?

[@The_CodFish69]

@@plang-plang5035 she can nuke the TB of bosses like Yingking and Bronya b4 they even get the chance 2 lock their TBs.

[@AristineSilvanus]

@@plang-plang5035 bronya/Gepard/yanqing can get weakness broken before they lock themselves. Unlike Sam who locks themselves on the get go

Correction She "Rider Kick" the Meta.

[@TH3-1B0SS]

Does she say Henshin when entering the fight?

[@plang-plang5035]

​@@TH3-1B0SSunfortunately, no😔

[@daitoushoutou]

Welt and Owlbert discussed Japanese tokusatsu (special effects) in general while describing SAM in Keeping Up With Star Rail -- Firefly: Sea Fire Prevention Imperative | Honkai: Star Rail. Tokusatsu shows and films with onscreen henshin (transform, transformation in Japanese) scenes include Ultraman (1966-); Kamen Rider (1971-); and Super Sentai (1975-) and its Americanized offshoot, Power Rangers (1993-). Henshin spread from tokusatsu into anime, manga, Japanese video games, and other forms of Japanese entertainment.

[@MagnanimouseDX]

The ONLY complaint I have with Firefly is the lack of transformation sequence at the beginning of a fight lol LET ME HENSHIN!!!!

[@Kysho17]

My low spending plans are looking beautiful rn. I can only get one 5 star this patch so I’m picking firefly (of course it’s 50/50) then going for jiaoqui since I have Acheron. But it seems like her best supports are gonna be Ruan mei, bronya, asta, hanya and harmony mc. So honestly not having ruan mei isn’t even that bad fr. Harmony mc seems much more required tbh cos of super break. Hanya increases speed by outlandish amounts, and atk which firefly benefits from greatly, can even run watchmakers on her if u want. You can also run that new kalpagni planar set on everyone on the team since firefly gives fire weakness to everyone, literally a free 40% BE💀. So I’d say firefly is looking very F2P friendly. I think the main factor allowing her to be F2P is the fact she can gain break effect from atk via that trace, if it wasn’t for this building her and a team would be much harder for F2P teams. Her LCs would acc be limited.

[@drakera5016]

her normal skill also has an addition eff which is a 25% action forward so u, get to the ultimate as fast as possible, the trace that gives her break eff when her atk is over 1800 is not 1 per 10, it 0.8 per 10 over 1800 atk

[@SilverLawrenceGamingg]

Cant wait to get her😭💛 i hope she and caelus will have happy end. Never going to forgive sparkle is she do something

[@Gurenn83]

My last pull was Aventurine. Based on my experience, if I have not pulled for months, Hoyoverse loves to punish me by losing the 50/50. Luckily, I stopped spending in HSR and I am now just F2P. I only use my credit card in Wuthering Waves now. If I do lose to Firefly, I am gonna pull for Jade instead and not spend anymore.

[@kazekori9593]

Bust? Or maybe you'll take it all!

[@k-BlazeWuthringwaves30]

so firely fly teams can be fire Mc + Firefly + luocha + bailu /Bronya belabog or Firefly +Harmoney Mc +Luocha +Gallager

[@ZakuZuko]

Time for me to put in more over time at work 😂

[@TheAmigos62]

That's great, but they made Ruan Mei too good for this Super Break stuff, i quit the game till 3 months ago because of missing her for 7 wishes, so this time even tho i love firefly i need to take ruan mei. I only have 120 wishes currently so if the game is kind to me i get both, else only Ruan Mei. I can use Luka or Xueyi as carry with Super Break, but Ruan Mei is needed in basically all the superbreak teams. GL on ur pulls

[@JohnDoe-si4eg]

I see we’re both about to gamble our hearts out. Good luck.

[@k-BlazeWuthringwaves30]

firefly mechanic is like blade but more op

[@nerubyexshine2311]

12:25 bro this Firefly you speak in about her Trace was Firefly from V3 but she got Nerfed and her Major Trace is become 10 per0.8 😂

[@ShigadyShigadyShwey]

For a moment I thought this was going to be another of the Trailblazer's paths, very disappointed. Instead we get a hat.

[@samshin7772]

so do i need ruan mei or any harmony unit? cuz i dont have em

[@silverX3870]

If you don't have her Asta is her best f2p support

[@get-in-2-get-out774]

You can use Asta. Harmony MC is simply free for all players.

[@toukoenriaze9870]

@@get-in-2-get-out774 harmony mc is also like BIS support because of backup dancer ... which is pog xD ~~only problem is reeeee penacony eidolons~~

[@malerror7569]

@@get-in-2-get-out774 I second Asta for a ftp option she has a trace that boosts fire damage for the entire team, and you can run Planetary Rendezvous, and equip the penacony orb set to boost fire damage even further.

[@supernate760]

Just use Asta if no Ruan Mei. Ruan Mei is mid anyways

[@k-BlazeWuthringwaves30]

so fire firefly build is Crit rate +Cdmg +Spd

[@Ikiteiku-qy6vu]

Is Aventurin a most have in her team? Who can I use instead of him? :(

[@maw7z]

Nop, u can play her with Gallagher as a Sustainer, she's pretty tanky too so not shielder needed Firefly, Gallagher, Harmony Trailblazer & Asta are a solid f2p team

[@aymenbx648]

gallagher gives FF way more utility than aventurine and he's currently her best in slot sustain

[@frostyvoid827]

Gallagher is currently her bis sustain

[@k-BlazeWuthringwaves30]

Gepard if your worried about defenses or bronya for Advance action . If you don't have gallagher

[@YuriDSC]

Keep in mind that her 5* sustainer is coming in 2.5

[@mrninja4423]

Damn my account is broke now 😢😢😢 I wasted a lot on robin, and I got lucky tho and got boothill, and now I only have 2345 Jade's and 5 golden tickets. 😢😢 my account is f2p, and never I buy on like my card, so I hope hoyo would give me luck same with the way I got boothill on 50 pulls.

Hey, I'm planning to use a team with Firefly and Ruan Mei but I might not be able to get both their lightcones, which one would be more useful?

[@FugiYo]

You could go Firefly lightcone and hope for extra copies of the 4 star lightcone "Memories of the past" which is in the LC banner pool so you can use it on Ruan Mei.

[@jeangreffsbp]

Ruan Mei's signature is almost an entire kit by itself

[@Marto-kh6sm]

ruan lightcone no questions needed

[@plang-plang5035]

RM's LC can also be a big help for Skill Points problem if you don't have Firefly E1. Firefly's LC can be replaced with Aeon from SU which has 10-15% dmg difference

[@7orairo]

​@@plang-plang503510-15% better or worse?

[@kazekori9593]

The one thing i don't like about her is that she becomes aggresively mid without hmc or ruan mei. As a ruan mei hater, this sucks.

[@jirachi1613]

I don't think she'll be mid without ruan mei or hmc. She can stand on her own plus if you want good supports for her bronya, sparkle, and robin are right there.

[@drakera5016]

@@jirachi1613 bronya really isnt the best pair with firefly, it cause firefly already eats alot of skill points without sparkle as ur second harmony it will not give u bronya full value

[@The_CodFish69]

@@drakera5016ya you’ll need E1S1 Broyna and most likely E1 FF to make Broyna work.

[@The_CodFish69]

Also even tho it’s Mid vs her Damage without HMC but FF can do roughly 170K by herself without Mc so it isn’t that bad.

[@kazekori9593]

@@jirachi1613 Bronya needs e1 ff, sparkle barely does anything because of firefly's speed and robin doesnt do any toughness damage.

BREAK EFFECT SINGLE TARGET SINGLE TARGET TRASH

[@fullvoid6663]

I do not want to use Harmony MC and Gallager. Are there any alternatives?

[@blueblazedemon]

You better have ruan mei or a built up asta then because they literally said in the live stream it's best to use her with harmony MC☠️

[@PoyoPoyomfs]

Thats like saying "i don't like using spoons or forks are there any alternatives?"yeah you could use a chopstick but they are harder to use than just use a spoon or fork.

[@The_CodFish69]

No for HMC 60% of her Damage comes from HMC and Gallagher isn't but because he's fire he's by far her best Breaking support.

[@toukoenriaze9870]

i mean you "should" but you can probably get away with idk? maybe asta instead of harmony mc ... and bailu/lynx instead of ghallager ... but you would definately be playing at a loss

Then u might have to wait for her future supports💀
