Honkai Star Rail 2.1+ New Player Guide

[@mrman502]

as a TL 70 player i can tell this video was made for me

[@AisSoraTV]

Haha yeah, anyone who played the game for less than 2 years is a new player Kappa

[@ABC-yj6cy]

Definitely skill issue

[@ronxygar699]

I am a returning player and made a "no-pull/warp yet account" beside my main account and it was a blast. I enjoy the challenge and simplicity of limited roster.

[@AisSoraTV]

oh! very interesting! I've seen that in Genshin before, sounds very challenging! I'm finally getting around to doing MOC seriously on my alt, and damn it aint easy.

[@Mimicae]

I started an only 4 Star account, since I have nothing to do on my main account right now, and i wanted a challenge

[@ronxygar699]

@@Mimicae that's cool!

[@jeffthomas122]

@@MimicaeI should do that tbh (I’m not tryna steal that it just seems fun!

[@Mimicae]

@@jeffthomas122 I really recommend it! I play some characters and teams that I never used on my Main Account, since there was no need for it (because of all the 5 Star options)

[@belleboni2016]

I'm really fortunate to start playing the game around 2nd week of March. That free Dr. Ratio really push me to finish most part of the game. Got Bronya on Departure Warp. Still winning 50/50 for Sparkle and Acheron. Acheron banner rate up with someone she can team up with, got me E3 Pela and E2 Gallagher (skill cleanse). And every time I got a few normal pass I pull. This got me early Clara, Lynx, Tingyun and few useful LC. At TL60, I finished the main story, Forgotten Hall Jarilo-IV, 4* PF (for free Lynx), and open SU9. Now, I'm pulling for Aventurine because I'm lacking a great sustain for harder content (using Fire MC mostly) and starting to put some effort on building appropriate Relic Sets. My team: 1. Acheron, Pela, Gallagher, Fire MC 2. Dr. Ratio, Sparkle, Lynx, Fire MC 3. Dr. Ratio, Tingyun, Bronya, Lynx

[@AisSoraTV]

It's a great time to be a hsr player, ngl!

[@zxz2563]

returning player here trying to get my bearings again so i can farm and save up for the fate collab, thanks for the video !!

[@AisSoraTV]

@zxz2563 Glad you enjoyed it ^^

[@thempotatos]

i started playing on a new account (after droping hsr) about a month ago, and i took my time doing every single quest available, reading the dialogues and enjoying the stories, and honestly, i didn't even lose out on any events, the one event that was up at the time i started playing was a permanent event, that still is up, and the next smaller event only came when i was about to reach penacony, and that event happened in herta's space station. You can take your time with the game, don't worry about events, you'll at best lose 1 event

[@AisSoraTV]

That is true for the most part. I did noticed that for the permanent events, the limited time rewards are WAY better than the permanent rewards, they're not even close. And also it depends on your velocity, as in how many hours you're playing a day. I wholeheartedly agree though, that enjoying the story is way more worth it than those rewards ^^

[@ATanCommander]

I started a brand new account about a week ago. There is enough content in the game to be able to get at least 2 limited 5* characters.

[@AisSoraTV]

yh, I got lucky and got 3 in my case, with enough to get another one next patch ^^

[@yukitadano5098]

Sweet guide, the team comp examples were really nice for helping me figure out my own comp!

[@AisSoraTV]

Glad it helped o7

[@dejferd]

new upload from the goat! thinking of returning soon

[@AisSoraTV]

You gotta! The story has been great in Penacony!

[@iri0022]

3:31 because there's new world 9 on simulated universe, now we can get e5 herta for free

[@AisSoraTV]

Ah yeah true. I recorded this at the end of 2.0, so I missed that. Nice catch ^^

[@naxmaxJK]

For the battle pass i set a restriction on myself where i have to actually complete it to 50 before buying it, if i don't then i didn't earn the fruits of the labor.

[@AisSoraTV]

Yeah, I encourage that too tbh, especially if you're not playing daily 👍

[@YunaYuaMai]

was forced to make a new account so ty for the vid

[@AisSoraTV]

ok, you got me curious, you gotta tell us why were you forced to make a new account? How did you lose your previous one?

[@YunaYuaMai]

@@AisSoraTV My email for my main accounts on hsr/genshin got locked and the account recovery they use is unbearable to work with so I had to start over again 😞

Rip :(

[@jeffthomas122]

I made a challenge account but this was still helpful tbh

[@AisSoraTV]

Glad you liked it ^^

[@AndrewPrinster]

I struggle with teem and relic usage but I'm getting there. Still holding steady at lvl 50 characters.

[@AisSoraTV]

I hope this helped a bit then ^^

[@AndrewPrinster]

@@AisSoraTV A little, I am at Prydwen right now though. I probably don't need crazy teams since I'm more interested in the story than farming, but I'm sure better builds will help.

[@AisSoraTV]

@@AndrewPrinster yeah, you should be fine checking the tier list and guides ^^ Good luck ^^

[@MellowMelonade]

I started playing 2 weeks ago and Idc about meta but I want both Boothill and Fu Xuan and Idk who I should prioritize just in case I can only get one (I have guaranteed on 35 pity) I have Aventurine, Clara, Bronya, Bailu and Dr. Ratio The guide was good, now I know I haven't done too much wrong haha

[@AisSoraTV]

I mean if you're asking which one is gonna be more useful for your account, my vote goes for Fu Xuan; If you get Boothill, try to get Ruan Mei whenever she reruns since she's gonna be key for any break based DPS (like Boothill and Firefly). Either way, I recommend going with whichever you like more.

[@theSixPathsOfTrains]

I pulled boots hill on my first 10 and I freaked out. Omg xD

[@AisSoraTV]

@@theSixPathsOfTrains congrats ^^

[@Blackbeard925]

day 1 player here 🙋🏽‍♂️ just want to say nothing will ever top that first belebog story mission

[@AisSoraTV]

I think Penacony will top it, ngl! Here's hoping ^^

[@Kevin-rv8br]

I wonder how the experience is gonna be for new players post 2.1 once dr. ratio is no longer free. He was a game changer for my account (I started during 1.4) and I still use him regularly. I genuinly think I wouldn't be able to clear some of the content if I didn't invest in him.

[@AisSoraTV]

True! I mean there's no shortage of DSP characters tho tbf, especially the featured 5*, but definitely a great boost, I was using him non stop until I got Acheron on that account.

[@jmbrady1]

Pela is a mandatory level due to buff dispelling with her skill

[@AisSoraTV]

That's a nice bonus in her kit, but her ult is where it's at ^^

[@jmbrady1]

@@AisSoraTV just remember, the Medicus people that revive won't revive if hit by her skill

[@AisSoraTV]

@@jmbrady1 yeah, im not denying its uses, im just saying her ult is what makes her the most valuable ^^

[@rev_rev22]

I wanna start this game but theres like a bunch of characters that seem much more op then other characters, like my account would not feel as good with out them

[@AisSoraTV]

Tbh, you dont need most of the characters, and you can just progress at your own pace. if you ignore the fomo, you can build up your account within a couple of months of normal play. There are ofc some characters that are better to get for a new player than other, I might make a video about that soon, but a quick suggestion is, some good sustain like Fu Xuan and Aventurine, and some good DPSes like Acheron, Jing Liu etc. Supports are great to have but I think when it comes to 4* characters, supports are the most abundant imho. Give it a try, I promise it's a very fun game, and I doubt you would regret it ^^

[@omaryassien7130]

btw you can get e5 herta from su now

[@AisSoraTV]

yeah, I missed that since I did the recording in 2.0. Great catch though ^^

[@Tobi-wv1qp]

Started on the day when they announced free dr.ratio and im 67 tl rn my first 5 star standard character was gepard and then i pulled argenti i kinda regret instead i could've pulled sw then got ruan mei then Acheron i lost 50/50 but still able to get her and and manage to e6 pela and Gallagher and then got jingliu as my second dps and got bronya of single pull that day have Welt e1 and his lc i got twice rn and let me tell you jingliu help me so much and she is not build that well in terms of relics didn't try moc until i got her and for now i can clear normal moc to stage 7 and the new moc to stage 4 pf not so much i got himeko on acheron banner as my 50/50 loss so I'll prob build her and herta for pf and now saving for fu xuan rerun

[@AisSoraTV]

Aventurine is quite good too if you're fishing for a sustain. Especially if you use Dr. Ratio a lot ^^

[@Tobi-wv1qp]

I don't i need to really build him yet i only use acheron and jingliu now ajd when i started the game jingliu and fu Xuan were two units i really wanted to get i have jingliu and hopefully I'll win 50/50 for fu xuan and rn I don't have jade to get adventurine and i have gepard so for now he will do

[@AisSoraTV]

@@Tobi-wv1qp Ah gotcha. Good luck with the pulls.

@@AisSoraTV Ty!

[@askdaskdjksdjakdsakd4]

I think I started playing just in time... 2 hours before 2.2 started so I got free Dr. Ratio and lucky Aventurine at 15 pity xD I was pulling for Robin and lost to Bronya, should I keep pulling for her or is there someone better? I like Robin a lot though so Idk

[@AisSoraTV]

Damn, Aventurine was great to go for! Robin is great for your Dr. Ratio. You do want a debuffer on your dr ratio team, so you can do Dr. Ratio, Debuffer, Bronya or Robin, and Aventurine. Now looking at this patch and the one after, personally, for new players, I would say Robin and Fu Xuan are the best choices, but since you have already Aventurine, so Robin is good. Youre gonna need a second team at some point, but that will depend on the roster of 4 stars you have ^^ Bronya already is gonna be amazing for your second team, and works well dr ratio too o7 If you can squeeze in Fu Xuan too, that would be amazing.

[@askdaskdjksdjakdsakd4]

@@AisSoraTV So Dr. Ratio, Pela, Bronya and Aventurine works? Also I got insanely lucky rn... I had Clara from the beginner banner, and I got her LC at 45 pity on standard and then Gepard at 6 pity.

@@askdaskdjksdjakdsakd4 Damn! Insane luck! yeah, you could slot in March or Lynx to add taunt to Clara. Robin works also with Clara, so Robin or Fu Xuan are both great for your account tbh ^^

[@blvmenkrnz]

13:16 I think you don't like March

[@AisSoraTV]

I like her in general, but not with Yanqing, no, since she increases aggro on him. She could work if you run Fire MC for taunt ig, but not a great synergy overall imho.

[@blvmenkrnz]

@@AisSoraTV Good take, I can agree. But in my theory I really appreciate her Shield with aggro so it has a higher usage rate for those others that don't have any shield. I can see enemies that have a wider range of attack putting her in a hard spot. But, with an Ice DPS her AoE CC Ultimate and FuA contributes for a more constant Ice Break Weakness... She only needs just a little more patience to work with.

[@blvmenkrnz]

Her actual problem with Yanqing is that they are both hungry for SP. Sparkle should be able to solve it but... Well, she's not around for now lol

[@AisSoraTV]

@@blvmenkrnz yeah, you can find ways to make her work, but my point is, it's too much maintenance when you can run Fire MC and a healer. Also the unfortunate part is, Yanqing is not great to begin with, at that point it's better to invest in a better 4* DPS, but I gave some ideas on when you could invest in him to make him work decent at least ^^ I do wanna build him on my ult as my Ice DPS since I got Aventurine, would be fun to test him in that capacity.
