@@tontis719 I've been lied to then. Although to be fair the wording on it is bad

[@nonexistent1219]

With rappa you ideally wanna break with her to deal max break dmg. Her dmg also mainly comes from attacking enemies already broken which is why her dps is significantly weaker when sam isnt weakness broken. Weakness break can also deal more dmg based on how strong the weakness bar is. Also jade has a 50% advance forward at the start of ever fight from that trace you leveled up without reading so spd isnt a requirement. For a strategy it would probably be to use a team with the best weakness breakers with rappa and try to break sam asap to get as much dps from rappa while hes still weakness broken. Use the scarf looking consumable to increases spd by 50% for 3 turns i think and also the 1000 healing per turn buff and enter with max energy. Goodluck you'll definetly need it. Fyi you can check how much an attack lowers the weakness bar somewhere in the trace menu labelled "toughness reduction" Also for break DPS characters the chest piece can be realistically anything as atk doesn't boost break immensely so running rappa on HP or DEF chest pieces could help with survivability also rappa is most likely the best for bosses in this account since she does blast enhanced basics that scale better than full aoe attacks.

[@starflight6086]

also HMC is basically required for any break dps and without them they lose the majority of their damage. so in this case wouldn't most of Rappa's damage come from breaking not attacking broken enemies

[@nonexistent1219]

​@@starflight6086 if I'm not wrong rappa has her own break or super break dmg when attacking broken enemies should be seen in java's Sam attempt Edit. Its the last hit of her enhanced basic

[@lauriee5364]

@@starflight6086rappa has herown built in break it’s just slightly worse

[@robinj4286]

For Rappa she does need atk like Firefly coz she has a trace similar to Firefly that scale of atk. But the trace effect is different compared to Firefly. Boothill on the other hand doesn't require any stat other than Break effect and Speed.

[@Ashleycolorful]

Java's luck just went from mid to INSANELY good. I'm proud. ALSO MORE ERUDITION ONLY YES!

[@Avis0123]

For Rappa, basically her ascension passives are necessary. I'm pretty sure they allow her to get break effect based on her atk and be able to trogger superbreak, which will help a lot with SAM. Also, when fighting SAM with Rappa try to make sure that Rappa's enchanced basic attack (after ultimate) breaks his weakness for extra extra dmg, since she is a break dps. She would work the best with HTB and RM, but of course you can't get them on this account unfortunately

[@MrcreeperDXD777]

No thats Firefly. What Attack does for Rappa is give all enemies a Break Vulnerability, up to 10% increased damage from break while in Ult state

[@miyuuwu_5105]

So the thing is, rappa was supposed to play break/ superbreak, and by not having ruan mei or harmony main, it is most likely that rappa couldnt do any thing in that build, sooo The best choice here is to build her as a crit dps as the other erudition chars to see if she could do anything

[@xuk6042]

As an eruditiononly account holder I built my rappa with balanced crit/break stats and its working wonders 😊

[@kursed-glitch]

When a character needs a lot of break effect it means their main way of dealing damage is to break the enemy so dont expect her to deal a decent amount unless your breaking the enemies weakness

[@Gloomm2007]

I don't think Iron Cavalry is the best relic option for this acc because it relies heavily on Super Break (something only Harmony MC can do). I would go for Thief of Shooting Meteor instead

[@wongo6828]

Yeah, especially with the energy gain when breaking weaknesses, good for Rappa because of her 160 energy cost.

Rappas own superbreak is very mediocre though it's just not worth farmong for that set

[@kain1799]

It's still arguably bis for break characters because of the def ignore. Even if they don't use the super break that much.

[@ayumilily]

8:39 The big nuke ignores your character’s defense so its does 24,000 damage when you have 4 characters, and since you had less characters the nuke did less damage then if you had more characters survive. (You want to break the boss to get shields. Also the early access thing lasts until the character is not on the banner. So you have 17 days to farm for her materials.)

Rappa is a huge pickup and her light cone helps her get her ultimate up extremely quickly. She’s going to perform much better with that, but more break effect is probably a good direction. I also like the idea of using Jade with Rappa to use her skill and turn on the Relic abilities. Good video!

I think the feature started in 2.0. Limited 5-stars get the early access every time they run. New 4-stars get the same treatment *only* for their premiere banner.

[@jashirei7581]

I have no idea if it's even possible to use rappa efficiently without superbreak. It might be better to just build a crit rappa for actually damage or speed and ER only so she can break alot since her intended kit basically requires a superbreak enabler which currently there's only harmony trailblazer and possibly another one coming soon that appeared in my dreams

[@TheCardq]

She gives herself some superbreak in her kit, but if you run her without HMC, building hybrid is probably optimal.

[@kaywobb]

There are food buffs you can eat that heal you for like 1000hp for the first 5 turns that would probably help you against sam

[@distopia4634]

This is probably my fave of the challenge accounts, mostly because it's the only one that feels actually challenging

[@asafesseidonsapphire]

Part of the challenge is because Java doesn't actually play HSR besides this account, so he makes a lot of mistakes playing it, specially with Rappa, as he doesn't even known what SuperBreak is.

[@distopia4634]

@@asafesseidonsapphire I mean yeah, some of those plays are... something, but ot be fair, Erudition is probably de hardest path to solo the game. Java started the whole trend (I think) and really got the short end of the stick with hsr 💀

Ok for teams since you don't have harmony trailblazer theres not much we can do I recommend just getting her break Stat up and use her more of like a break support what I mean is a character that exist to break enemies nothing more orrrr you can use rappa,himeko,herta and random character oh and congrats on the 50/50 win and full rappa build good luck

[@Elysiatulip]

It’s a great day when Java uploads a 30min video

[@Chrrr0my]

Technically all characters could wear support ornaments like Fleet of the ageless and Broken keel, giving them more tank ability (HP or eff res) and giving an all team boost passively (attack and crit damage respectively) for low stat investment (120 spd for Fleet is needed anyway on offensive characters, and 30 RES on a character who get RES traces + 10 from the set is easy to get). One other godsent ornament for this account would be Izumo, for the atk and crit rate bonus "if another character follows the same path as the wearer". Everyone getting 12% atk and 12% crit rate is HUGE ! Serval and Jade could be on Broken keel "easily" (and Jing Yuan might benefit from investing in RES too so LL isn't stuck when control hits) One thing to note about spd : the % boonuses scale from base speed of the character (so 96+9 for Rappa once traces are unlocked) and not relics, which would give Rappa +14 speed "only" with r4 Charmony. Charmony is better than her signature without spd supports like Asta, Ruan Mei, e1 Huohuo or Messenger set. While 145 isn't necesseraly hard to achieve on 105 spd character with speed boots ("just" need +15 from substats, average of 3 on each piece), Charmony just makes it that easier since Rappa is heavily reliant on her ult anyway.

[@Raoulwomy]

honestly, your best shot at beating SAM, is to just make all your characters into tanks since SAM damages himself everytime he attacks (ei : 4 Guard of Wuthering Snow or 2 piece Guard & 2 piece knight of purity but its highly recomended you go for 4 piece guard of wuthering snow, cuz of its heal, also you could farm some Belobog of the Architects planar sphere if you need the def but its not recomended for you do so unless you rlly need the def) (granted this strategy will make the combat of the fight boring, since its will just be a stall match lol)

[@shunilooni4809]

But its might be a good idea to use this team: Rappa, Jade, Quinque, Jingjuan. Also enhance what you can before the battle and use these food buffs: Prayer machine (This will give you tons of HP), and for DMG buff, try Disposable Kinetic cannon or arm (it both gives you ATK and CRIT stats). Also go in the battle with full ultimates: Im not sure if i did but wait with your ultimates until you can start breaking the boss. Im sure you can beat that boss already like this

[@Kosmikaze1]

HERE IT IS

[@1z2q3a]

You gotta do the event, it has no (or almost no) combat, it's just a lot of dialogue to click through and a rhythm minigame but you'll get so many level materials. Also rappa is supposed to be used in superbreak teams so you want to focus on her breaking the enemy, you also need her A4 trace to deal superbreak damage without HMC so she will be dealing pretty bad damage unless you break with her until you get that trace

[@FakeRDSamurai]

22:20 YSK that speed% is calculated based on base speed, not total speed. So 14% for Rappa's base 96 speed would be 13.44, making your total 138.44 SPD. Otherwise Kafka's signature LC would be overpowered

So glad to see more of erudition only. I was worried it wouldn't come back. I also have some advice for Rappa. While her final passive trace encourages you build her with atk, it's better if ya give her hp or def. Break effect and speed are her best things to build. No crit needed. Good luck and have fun

[@nickc6197]

FYI spd percent buffs like on rappas LC are based off of base spd. For rappa it's 96 spd. 14% of 96 is about 13 so after the LC buff she would be at 138 spd not 142

The scary doll boss has several layers of toughness, breaking those one by one gives you the layers of shield.

[@dmagus8819]

For rappa to do even more damage you would just need to unlock her skills mainly her talents “sea echo” and “withered leaf”. You need the 250 break effect for the relic she has equip.
