IMO it's fair for you to use consumables, on normal runs they are useless, specially since you can't use them on the endgame content anyways. Could be interesting to see something that is usually ignored end up making a difference in a challange run

The seriousness of breakfast lightcone is perfect not for himeko but for Jing yuan

[@StreamerOfTheDecade]

well I don't think he'll be using it on him after the events of this episode that's for sure.

[@justveliona]

The herta light cone is better than pom pom one

[@aeromanta]

Herta's is still a LOT better

[@Grand.Master_Cow]

Hertas lightcone at s1 is about equal to seriousness of breakfast at s5, so when comparing their s1 versions, birth of self definitely wins

[@emanator36]

​@@justveliona yes but it's a gacha one so its recommended to just use s5 pom pom

I said it before, and im saying it again. Javas determination is both inspiring and concerning. Or perhaps, it was desperation that was displayed here instead?

I'm absolutely loving these 20+ min videos. The videos are so fun that they used to end so quickly, but now, they're more fun and longer! Thanks a lot Mr. Cup

[@pleasantvegetable]

This is a really fun series; Erudition is such a good choice because it's the path many see as the least powerful and as a result the difficulty of the run is very evident. Congratulations on your perseverance against Kafka!

[@Number1YoimiyaMain]

The time it’s been since jingyuans banner just proves that it takes a long time to upload and edit vids 😭😭😭

[@Qiyu793]

Nice to see someone trying desperately to get his lightcone like me😂 Note: ended up getting it on the 7th pull with 1 min to go😅 No one: Literally no one: Java: Its time to muchy munch, on some rice!

I grinded it as well, got it on 55th pull. Now i kinda regret it because it could be 55 pull for Loucha or Blade. But oh well, what's done is done...

[@haru_choices2785]

I lost 5050 for Jing Yuan then had to go to soft pity again to guarantee him (and A LOT of grinding). Then I just used whatever gems I got to wish and somehow managed to get his light cone at 27 pity at 2am in the morning with a few days left on the banner. I felt so lucky and saved up as much as I could for him since I started the game. Everything for Jing Yuan!

[@TinkRomero]

Since you only have plans to use Erudition characters, then I feel like I should at the very least mention, that Herta’s Store doesn’t have Erudition Lightcones. So you can use Herta Bonds to buy Star Rail Passes if you want to. So … that could be a few more wishes to get :3 Also, since you recorded this in 1.0, you might wanna go back to Simulated Universe Index whenever you can, because they added Event Indexes … which is a lot, like 20 Stellar Jades per event. And there are 38 total events (and yes, as usual some of these events are very rare, ofc) Hope this info can help you out a bit.

[@idkbcidk8228]

Seeing the ticket holographic tells you if it’s a 5 star, but there’s a slightly quicker way to disappoint yourself, the first time the ticket turns on the bottom right usually it’s just a haze, but for 5 stars the after image reaches so far you could fit another ticket in it.

[@gil1934]

Hey, I just wanted to say that you don't need to use Herta's skill in single-target situations. Just use a NA, it deals the same amount of dmg and doesn't consume a skill point!

[@stoglegirls]

I believe it’s the same with Jing Yuan! I use him, and I don’t notice damage difference in AOE vs Normal Attack situations.

[@Lena-mt3ck]

@@stoglegirls Jing Yuan needs to use skill and ult to build stacks on Lightning Lord. His NA doesn't give stacks so it's not really worth leveling Jing's NA.

Hi Java! Longtime viewer here. It's a rainy Saturday morning and I'm watching your video with my coffee. I would just like to thank you and tell you how much your content makes me feel happy. Like it brings so much comfort and enjoyment! I hope you can keep doing amazing videos, and I hope you're staying healthy!

[@akane75]

This was so entertaining to watch...I couldn't help smiling when you got the light cone 😂

[@SIothingAround]

I reccomend actually reading the destruction blessings. There's a 1 star blessing that revives a character if they die in battle. Has saved me countless times.

[@xiaotheshinigami1791]

I was waiting for this video, and it came out fantastic

[@chronoxxe]

I pulled for Jing Yuan's Light Cone on my Ice Only alt, and I have no regrets. Because it gave me two upgrades, with a maxed March 7th Light Cone, and the 5 star Light Cone for my Herta

[@ChaosFlute]

Why not use food? If anything is cheating I'd say it was spending money, not using food. Isn't the fun of challenge accounts the way it forces you to use characters and mechanics you might otherwise ignore? Well, that's my perspective anyway. But I understand really wanting the lightcone under these conditions.

[@miruna-oana9707]

this was VERY entertaining, rlly kept me interested, very nice:D

[@Belarhos]

You could always feed your 4 star light cones to your erudition ones, since you'll never use the other path light cones

[@BinaJosh28]

19:40 I swear to God when you got it, i got interrupt by an ad. Lmao 😂

[@nate.x305]

This was literally me minus the swiping, i got both Jing Yuan and his lightcone as f2p and his weapon seriously makes a difference

[@dxffod1ls]

if Java didn't know, there's the warp trotter (it has a form of a golden pig or smt) and if you kill it you get 60 jades and theres over 10 of them (they don't respawn, but yea) make sure to target it first, before it runs away

The thing about Honkai Star rail's weapon banner is that the Promoted Light cone Has a 75% chance of dropping :D

Honestly seeing a f2p struggle is much more entertaining than just watching a whale just spend whatever to get they want (no shade to whales tho?

[@oliwlu7147]

the 2nd spot in the team configuration is the most targeted one. you can put jing yuan on the 3rd spot to have the least chance of him getting hit

The music when he gets the jing yuan cone pls

[@kyllernotkiller]

I've been thinking about wich path would be the most intresting and I feel destruction is the most intresting, not saying you should I was just thinking about the utilities of the paths: Erudition: multi target dmg Hunt: single target dmg Preservation: shields Abundance: heals Nihility: debuffs enemies + DoT Harmony: buff allies Destruction: tanky dps? I'm actually unsure what do they do, from simulated universe they're dps that the more dmg they get more dmg they do

[@VictorianGhost7]

I think destruction characters are your more self-sacrificial characters. Akin to Hu Tao or Xiao in that the more hp they lose, be it by themselves or a foe, they’ll hand that damage back to the enemy tenfold. I agree that it would be very interesting to see someone go this route, as Destruction characters have been made out to be a bit of a wild card.

[@Sloth-tr7bd]

@@VictorianGhost7 I don't think that's fully the case, so far we have only two destruction characters(Blade and Arlan) with the hp mechanic on play. Clara needs to be hit, but it doesn't matter what %is her hp to do big dmg. Phys MC just hits single or multi target, same with Hook. It's more like Destruction is the combination of Erudition and Hunt, but with a catch. Clara's basic and skill are not really usefull nor useless, her burst just makes it easier to trigger her follow up attack. Phys MC has the biggest dmg on her multi target skill, so you focus on her skill and burst with occasional NA to generate SP. With Hook you mostly do single target unless you use her burst, and you want enemies to be consistently burned. Arlan wants his HP to be low and Blade has his HP taken to do dmg, with occasional self healing to not die. I guess they're high risk high reward kind of characters? If you commit to their gimmick then you have an easy time to matter if it's one or multiple enemies

[@ReaNaga]

Why don't you salvage all the light cones you can't use?

[@kaiaezra5625]

This reminds me of my pulls for shenhe. I did 2 for ayaka and got her then I did like 160+ for her and got qiqi to the point some nice person got my genesis crystals and i got her as she was about to go
