Game Introduction
On earth, a catastrophe known as the "Honkai" has plagued mankind throughout history.
The Honkai was created alongside civilization, and creatures known as the "Honkai beasts", deadwalkers, as well as a paranormal humanoid - The Herrscher - were born within it.
To fight the Honkai invasion, mankind created an organization, called the Schicksal. This organization was assembled by mankind as a means of resistance against the Honkai. Its creation also marked the beginning of a war, an eternal battle where no side has claimed victory. The fighting has continued to this day...
Up until year 2013, when the 3rd Honkai War broke out in eastern Nagazora...
New game introduction
Hyperion, command system switched to the battle bridge.
Auxiliary engine energy rises rapidly and begins to deliver ignition power to the main engine, which is 5% from the threshold.
Announce the whole ship, enter the ignition countdown, 10, 9, 8...
The download button finally unlocks the bolt, breaks the impact, and starts!
So, from today, are you my Captain?
Please remember carefully, I am the most popular idol of Hyperion, the battleship Ai-Chan!
My mission is to guard this warship, and it is also the Captain mission!
Wait, Ai-Chan has just captured an amazing name! Cecilia!
Even know the name of the most powerful female Valkyrie in the history of Gods, as a human being, Captain is really amazing.
Ey~ Ha~ Ha~This reminds me of Ai-Chan. Let me see what Captain knows about top secret information.
"In order to make the next generation cartoon rendering, LiuWei sold his three sets of villas to make a completely 3D free perspective game!"
So, in order to be a good captain, you need to work hard~ For you, this person, Ai-Chan know a little bit of.
...What, Captain actually questioned the strength of Ai-Chan as the most popular idol?!
Yes, yes, I admit, I don't like the sister Mei make lunch for the captain, I'm not cute like Kiana, no fox ears like Theresa, playing games will occasionally lose to Bronya... Ok, okay, there is no such thing as Himeko... Captain, your eyes are staring at Major Himeko! Oops~ I really didn't expect that you were such a captain!
In short, no matter what I don't care, love the world is the first cute!
Wait, wait, the captain must not tell this to Theresa the schoolmaster!

I noticed, many newbie Captain in Honkai last month and this day, so created this content to help you fellow Captain🙂 for all Veteran Honkai Captain if you read a wrong word I said please don't hesitate to comment and if I miss a word to describe this content please let me see🙂 to benefit the newbie captain here.🙂 Thanks🙂

When does the EXPA select end, and do you know what the rotation is? I’m unsure whether to pull now or wait

This version’s Foca select is both a wet dream and a nightmare

[@yorokobi-chan]

Im so excited for this banner now i can try my luck for HoF

[@theiordinaryspace666]

In the expa selection i chose to pull hos and starchasm nyx. I both got them in the first ten pulls (can't believe my luck), for hos, i'm glad that i pulled her as her gears are farmable and she's not too gear dependent. Cant say the same for starchasm nyx as only when i started using her do i realize she's sooooooo gear dependent and since i really dont have any of her signature weapons or stigmas, she's just simply useless. She deals little dmg, almost none. Her main source of dmg is her ultimate and as her sp recovered slowly, it's hard to use her in a real battle so i left her there and hope that i will save up enough crystals by the time she makes her rerun so that i can go for her gears.😅😅😅

[@princhad396]

So that means expa select and expansion supply guarantee is separate and if you pull either of the banners and get 1 S rank would both guarantee reset to 100? or you need to get 1 S rank of both banners to reset the guarantee

[@unclefudge4206]

Im still pulling for Mobi and in the wep banner of Raven. Maybe AE after cause i already have all Herscherrs but not their gear. Only have 4/4 HoS. And 2/4 HoF. Since i know global server will get less than the sea server i have to start saving now

[@VinhNguyen-wt6ro]

I'm kinda confuse between Mobius and HoF, i'm new and saving crystal for Anni event tho !! Can you suggest me which one should i get ? Cuz i only can go full gear for one.

[@McPyore]

Hi! I kinda lost, so i've been saving for HoS but i dont know whats the difference between her current banner and the future EXPA Select. I dont know if i should wait

[@kylesasaki1408]

Will the banner repeat weekly? For example HoF banner ended and then followed by new up Valkyrie. Will the HoF rebanner the following week? I really want to get her btw

[@c6tartaglia81]

As a newbie. If I selected HOFS and get her, can I change the banner focus to AE and get her for my second guarantee? I plan to get HOFS, AE and HOS in next patch. Can’t wait.

[@Azurestorm-qu7hj]

I was panicked when i thought both expa and EXPA-select guarantee were seperate- glad they didnt.. Already had S1 HoFS, S0 HoT, and S0 HoS (only missing good Ice DPS but i guess this is enough) so i might aim for Azure Empyrea 😳👌

[@Azurestorm-qu7hj]

it does carry over (for valks. But for equipment it didnt)^^

[@drago166]

I am 53 more for guaranteed HoT. 1 day later banner will switch. 1.If I use change of UP valk, will I be able to choose HoT again (I desire to get her so much) 2.If I use change of UP valk, do I still need to do 53 pulls or will it be reset? (I read the description, but I'm still confused tbh Would be grateful for the answer!

[@knark5643]

To be honest the 1st thing I am pulling for rn is Mobius but I am planning to pull on this one too although for the 1st expansion select I don't know if I should pul for AE or HoF and for the 3rd one I don't know if I should pull for HoS or Dea Anchora...

[@NocteVertunumGaming]

If you get Mobius and also the Weapon and Stigmata of Her capt, It's best to Pull AE in first Expa Select, and the 3rd Expansion Select, HoS is the best to Pull.🙂 that's only my opinion captain🙂

I gotta get HoS... If I have enough crystals by the end. Raven supply is 1st and then next is HoS. Guess I'll be sticking to my HoTF for now. Hopefully Nueda is available as an off-rate in the Raven supply. If I get HoS early, maybe I'll gun for HoT since I own her weapon... Although there is HoS weapon to get, and HoF doesn't have a full set yet... So many things to aim for, but not enough crystals.

[@Sorashell420]

I have a quick question!! I feel really stupid asking it rn cus im not even new but here we go. So lets say i want both HoT and nyx gear, once i switch the up valk i can get her gear on focused supply too? And how many times can we swap up the supplies?

[@NocteVertunumGaming]

You can check my Latest Content in my Channel capt🙂 I post about how the Focused Option Works🙂

[@zelmarble7948]

will the pity carried over to the next expansion select in case if i don't get it ?

[@suitwo]

My main concern right now is where to pull for 5.2 to give the best chance for 42k. I expect (hope) to be around 18k by the time 5.2 hits but I've been demoted twice in Abyss because of not being able to play properly so I may be closer to 17k. 14k's worth of tickets puts me just over 30k which leaves around 10k I need in 4 weeks.

[@takezoshinki3941]

Pull in Ravens gear.It refunds 5 focus cards every 10 pulls.

[@suitwo]

@@takezoshinki3941 I saw her supply only a few minutes after I sent that comment xD. But yeah that supply is a spending events players dream, will definitely be pulling for that supply.

[@venidd9984]

I wanna see how the specific supply works where you're guaranteed to get new gear. All I see are descriptions in various vids and I have yet to see one where he/she pulls in that specific supply banner. I'm just curious if you can only do one 10-pull or you can go again and again.

[@negathief]

you can only do one 10-pull and thats it. If you select 9 items you already own and select 1 item you dont own yet, you are guaranteed to get the item you don't own.

[@venidd9984]

You can get like 30 fragments from the shop for 12 Crystallum. Unless you somehow have 70 fragments already, you can't get her like that. If you're f2p and roll with your crystals/tickets saved that's fine.
