HARDEST Hyakunin Ikki: Platinum with No Artifacts, Lv.1 Characters, 1-Star Weapons

[@chiasa_dobi]

Taking the whole _"there is no bad character, only bad player"_ to the whole new level

[@Pixelat1on]

facts. and, though it does not apply in this case, bad artifacts, but that’s not something to get into right now.

[@userdog682]

Dammm now this is some really good content. Clean gameplay, presentation, and commentary. Congrats

[@Moosashi]

Thank you! Glad to see you enjoyed it.

[@dasLlamas_94]

That was a clean run! Amazing challenge, Moosashi.

[@Moosashi]

Thank you! Please avert your gaze from the giant pileup of failed attempts that are lying over yonder. This clean one is all that matters!

[@exkayjay8751]

Great run! I couldn't reach platinum even using fully built and levelled characters 😅

[@MufaroMusa]

This is some MacGyver 200 IQ play. At some point you were explaining and I was just nodding my head like I understand

[@spookbag24]

man got more score with level 1 characters than i got with my built ones 😰

[@leikeize4781]

How have you not blown up yet? the content is amazing, i would love to see your type of content go other places aside from genshin.

[@nemnemi111]

I did a similar thing once regarding one of the challenges in dragonspine to unlock the peak of the mountain. It was the one with hilichurls spawning in 3 different spots with a timer and I had a party with 0 built, bad weapons and a bit underleveled. I basically learned their pattern and managed to defeat the challenge with 2 seconds at the end of the challenge. It was... tiring.

[@electricburst0986]

Wish this event would last forever getting character changes every month or something like that

[@Moosashi]

I'd welcome them replacing the Try-Out Domains with this. Might only be two-character teams, but at least we'd be able to test new characters with ones we already have. And that'd give it at least two updates every version.

[@pontoancora]

If that serves as hopium, honkai had only infinite abyss for 2 years, after they make an event permanent, the memorial arena. MA is very close to our 1.6 Vagabond event, where we beat a boss with 5 different levels of difficulty. 2 bosses that change every week if I remember correctly. I believe 3.0 and 3.1 will bring a lot of new stuff.

[@castallyourspells]

oh WOW that was insane, congrats

[@Hlebuw3k]

...yeah, those random KO's happen to me all the time, although not as much recently. Seemengly as if my characters have a heart attack. And i suspect the "frame perfect" Qiqi death was due to ping, as you died on the server side, but lived just a little longer on your screen. Since my ping is terrible (for my standards, 130 is terrible, yes i know people have worse) it happened to me a few times before. Also, another ping issue, its extremely annoying when you swap to another character and die at the same time. There is no death animation since you swapped out, but then why did the previous character die, when the new one should have taken damage instead?

[@Moosashi]

I get the swapping deaths a lot, too. What's really a drag is that Barbara's C6 won't activate to revive the fallen ally, either, because it only works on the active character. Ping. I'd say that sums it up. I often forget this game is "always online." I went through a lot of the footage to see if I could find out what exactly was killing Qiqi. Some, with frame-by-frame inspection, I managed to pick out the arrow that KO'd her. Others...only inkling I have is the Hilichurl Grenadier's slime. Perhaps when the Hilichurl Grenadier is frozen during their animation of digging the slime out of the ground, the game still loads in the slime. It may have been causing reactions out of sight beneath the ground that was downing Qiqi.

[@pontoancora]

Same here. 130 Ping, a lot of burst death, or swapping deaths

[@GraveUypo]

it IS because of ping. i play normally with ping between 130 and 170, but sometimes when i'm at my farm i only have satellite and that has between 800 and 2500 ping (genshin only shows up to 999 but it won't "complain" up to about 3000ms of lag). with over a second of lag, the game gets really weird. your stamina bar is effectively way larger, since the game only starts registering use a long time after you're already using it, and you only stop being able to use it when it depletes, effectively giving you 2~3 extra seconds of stamina. but s are completely unreliable and sometimes things get rewinded back to a an unfavorable point.

[@randomduck145]

I have 200 ping and i can still play

[@bhavya5692]

Not me having 550 ping 🥲

[@kibathefang6022]

This just proves how easy the events they give are. Just let us use our maxed out characters and suffer just to clear an event.

[@Saltsour]

No pls

[@kibathefang6022]

@@Saltsour They can give just like 60K mora or something. That way non endgame players won't moss much. I just want something that can bring out what my characters can do and give some sense of achievement in this game.

[@Saltsour]

@@kibathefang6022 Oh then yea sure I agree, I'd like smth like that also

[@rameen4330]

i love when players twist the gameplay mechanics to their own advantage, it just makes the game so much more interesting

[@yagamilight5915]

Really good effort and video very nice

[@Moosashi]

Thank you! I recall completing it with 1-star weapons in like three attempts, and then thinking it'd be just as easy with "no artifacts" tacked on. Oh boy was I wrong about that!

i couldnt get gold with built lvl 80 characters i respect you dude

[@mashiroshiina8895]

my fully built team cant even reach any platinum hahaha

[@lynn_studios9327]

Genuinely curious on why you have 2 level 1 limited banner characters lmao

[@Moosashi]

As dlane mentions, just got them both recently. But all things considered, both of them, and even Diluc, Jean, and Qiqi, are likely to remain level 1 so that I can keep doing silly challenges like this.

[@lynn_studios9327]

Oh okay, thank you lol

[@pontoancora]

@@Moosashi what a mad lad.

[@CrystalRubyMoon]

Dang you mad lad! That was amazing to see

My man using 1% of he's brain and still doing the impossible

[@givemethasauce5720]

so basically qiqi was so small that she went under the attack and dodged it

[@Dantemjn]

Man dis is so genius!

[@Anreii]

Meanwhile I can't even get a single gold at ar56 lol... I remember at lower world levels getting mostly golds haha ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ

[@Moosashi]

Those powerups are the key! They're so busted. Although hopefully next time they do a better job documenting them, as at least two had description errors relating to how they activate.

[@what.82]

Behold, the god of all players

[@kaedexuki]

AHHH HOW DO YOU HAVE SO MANY OEVEL ONE GOOD CHARACTERS

[@swayingGrass]

3:05 ok... ಠ_ಠ

[@annaairahala9462]

8:03 is it possible that running into a non-frozen weapon will damage you?

[@Moosashi]

Hmm. Could be. Although it didn't seem to happen when I ran into slimes stuck airborne, thrown from frozen Hilichurl Grenadiers. But might be different for melee versus projectile.

[@abababababab1041]

Impressive

[@Zealoura]

I would loose all my brain cells doing that

[@matarisan4583]

8:25 that's for all characters

[@venommc9000]

I have a question how does he deal like 20 DMG per hit w lvl 1 while I do like 50 DMG w lvl 20 ?? Not saying that he's cheating or anything I have a lot of respect for the guy

[@Moosashi]

Do you mean the regular attack damage? Whenever I didn't have anything useful to put into those two powerup slots, I just put the "Does x% more damage" ones on. So while Qiqi uses powerups to get the vacuum effect and such, other characters who didn't play major roles were given damage-boosting ones.

[@venommc9000]

@@Moosashi ohhhh okkk I see but I have another question how do u normally increase like the attack of ur caracters like I have a lvl 40 traveler and he only does like 40 DMG with a 4 stars weapon and some artifacts

[@Gog_o]

i mean you could just wait for the "team time" to end and then you deal like 2 dmg per hit

[@throwawyorter5886]

Okay now 3 star it

My question is, why are they even level 1 in the first place?

You weren’t lying when you said Qiqi is the star here lol

ngl i have no excuse to not have platinum with my fully built characters lmfao

[@shivam5878]

noice!

[@lagrangewei]

i was expecting platinum 3 but ok... not bad.

[@ItzMeKiyo]

Skill issue

[@KarenLeung0531]

Now do it without attacking, just like the labyrinth warriors one you did :)

[@Moosashi]

Haha, actually...I did some testing on "No Attacking," initially wanting to add it to the list of restrictions. I believe it's possible, however it wouldn't work with level 1 characters. You would need a shield character running the shield art, so they would need to use skills. Might be possible without skills by using a weapon like The Bell, but hard to say. As to why it won't work at level 1, the shield art effect only activates if the shield doesn't break from an attack. There's not really a way to get a level 1's shield to be able to withstand a level 90 enemy's attack; and even if there were, it'd need to be able to take five or more.

[@KarenLeung0531]

@@Moosashi yeah seems to be near impossible to achieve
