[@bluefox21186]

not quite because I skipped him for Blade and his LC and there's no way I'll regret that. But yes, when I've heard about Seele's rerun all I could think is "that means that Luocha's rerun is around the corner". Still i always wonder if Luocha's havers know how good he is. Like, I get him as a support sometimes (*cough* Phantylia *cough*) and It's the only way that all my characters finish the fight being alive.

[@CCYami]

What I find interesting is Jinglius Interaction with Tingyun - with a high-speed Tingyun and some additional hits by mobs on her, JingLiu can potentially get as much as 3 Ultimates before her State expires (one after start, one midway through and one on the turn the state expires). Using her Ultimate on the same turn you use up your last Syzygy stack keeps her state active while also boosting the ultimate, giving you an additional skill useage. So you can use your Skill to use up your last Syzygy stack and if you charge your Ultimate with that attack, you can immediately ultimate while still getting the Bonus from her Power State and extending her Power State by 1 turn.

[@azurclerx951]

Wait for version 1.5

[@floofzykitty5072]

Frozen condition making enemies take more turns isn't necessarily bad, even in the situation mentioned where it makes debuffs expire faster. A perfect example is using Gepard's skill (if you have E1 like me) to Freeze an enemy in a DoT team so that they effectively take more damage from their DoTs because they are taking more turns. Freeze an enemy twice and you have doubled the DoT passive damage they would have taken in that same time period. Also Pela if built right won't really have any problems with Freeze reducing her Ult uptime. Optimal Pela build uses Wind set for the action advance forward. The actual problem is that her Ice Res reduction will probably wear off before Jingliu's burst window is over.

[@YuyuHakurei]

Break itself delays an enemies turns and then frozen takes effect after that. The turns coming back faster the way it does gives you time to rotate DoTs and it is probably like that on purpose. Broken enemies reset their turn counter so you can often double the time it takes to get to their turn no matter your element. Except Imaginary which delays them even more after a break. Though not every Imaginary will have slow like Welt does and he is kind of the basis for the estimation. Honestly it probably would make more sense if the effects of freeze and imprison were swapped. There is a bit of a disconnect between how it visually appears and what it is actually doing.

[@BladeSerph]

You do know they are just gonna set things up to introduce a `freezing or debuff/buff centric unit` that extends debuff/buff turns to counterbalance it and likely have some ridiculous quirks to boot? Star rails certainly due to being turn based can make DoTs thrive better(since more action based usually makes DoTs too slow or rather introduce a system to CONSUME them to detonate them instead and re-apply them to repeat the process), but too bad the existence of content that has to be cleared in X turns or fail in rewards runs counter-balance to that, so unless you have DoT centric units which force those DoTs to expire faster but has all that DoT from those multiple turns go off at once, on top of amplifying the dmg, then yeah its obvious they will make DoT `accelerator` units to do such. Some games such as Another Eden already pulls off this gag or how most of its dmg bonus centers around having 2 particular DoT debuffs on enemies to use the effect of an equippable that increases dmg by a huge multiplier that stacks multiplicativity with eachother to lead to insane levels of damage. So unless Star rails pushes its focus on content more towards simply clearing the content and less towards needing to clear content in X amount of turns, then DoT can likely get slated to becoming useless, just to purposely introduce new units to be DoT amplifiers or `Consumers`, even more broken then the current ones.

[@zannax351]

​Why are you talking as if kafka doesn't already exist?

[@BladeSerph]

Cause its hard to care about a game you don`t directly play anymore to avoid the same grind burnout fatigue every mihoyo game gave me, especially when for genshin and star rails i 100% stayed the fk away from paying any actual money and no way i was gonna default back to the same shenanigan i did back with honkai impact 3rd. Only gacha game i put actual money towards these days is punishing gray raven because its significantly more generous to where the amount of gacha to acquire a character and its signature weapon is less then a third what any of mihoyo games do. Unless star rails starts breaking much more strongly from the mold its still pulling with Genshin, then its likely to hit the same problem with its design soon enough. Which considering it seems to be doing event rerun type of stuff it seems way sooner to `pad the content out` is likely to be hitting the problem alot sooner either due to needing a much longer time to actually develop new content, despite it has a significantly less amount of `content` it likely needs to put in by not being an open world & should be less difficult to create content, but should probably be more like permanent expansions to pad the game better, instead of stuff they just leave in the game, close off access to but still takes up extra space on the phone. Which i think we can all collectively agree if a game takes up 1/5th to 1/3rd of your entire phone`s storage capacity, then it better be like a high quality game that doesnt turn your phone into a potato despite only being a few generations older then the iphone 15. Anyway boredom ramble done, i think i rather bash my head against Super bosses in Another Eden then believe Mihoyo is ever gonna fix its terrible design philosophy. Cause i imagine Zenless Zone Zero is gonna require around 180 or more pulls to `gurantee` its own 5 stars just like Genshite and star fail does too. @@zannax351

[@myrtle8347]

Having Luocha on my team along with Blade and Jingliu gives him extra work to do 😂 honestly it was a quite an upgrade to swap my well built Herta for a slightly underbuilt Jingliu, her damage numbers didn't impress me that much but my gosh she works so well with my fully built Blade, just the two of them working together killing enemies plus with Bronya's skill and buff (And Luocha for moral and health support, all thanks to his Otto-healing) The team is so broken I had to audibly gasp seeing them destroy enemies with little to no difficulty, the only damage my team took was Blade being drained out of his own HP by his own skill and by one new team member.

[@bfjrd]

perfect pun you got there... Otto-healing.. lmao i cant xD

[@chickensky1121]

NGL, I didn't think about how Ice shortening enemy turns reduces debuff duration - honestly the situation is reversed for DoT teams, Ice is a good supporting element because more enemy turns = more DoT instances, while Entanglement and Imprisonment, which delay enemy turns, reduce the amount of DoTs they take. That's the mindset I've been in most of the time lol.

[@NinjaWarotMCph]

The only time Entangle and Imprison can work with DoTs come with a character, if you're in SU, a certain 2-Star Blessing of Nihility. The character is of course the mommy named Kafka. Her Skill forcibly pops all DoTs which just outright ignores the need for the enemy to move - in fact, delaying them might even help further. The Blessing is "All Things are Possible" and unlike Kafka's Skill which pops _all_ DoTs, this blessing only pops a single one selected at random.

[@chickensky1121]

@@NinjaWarotMCph You're really going to try to introduce my favorite waifu to me in a confusing manner? Lol. And I would say it goes both ways. Even if Kafka can activate DoTs, the enemy taking their turn sooner still causes their DoTs to do MORE damage to them - assuming they don't act so often that Kafka can't maintain 100% uptime on her Shock, but unless the enemies are moving several times faster than she is that's pretty much a nonissue. And I would say Entanglement is still an overall damage gain considering it can actually do a decent amount of damage when the enemy gets untangled. But I don't know for sure.

[@teriteri169]

The only case you should you it before entering buffed state is if you are running out of time. It is never worth using unbuffed ult, too many buffs is not applied: 50% crit rate, 180 atk%, and 20% dmg boost. And if you have her s1, that's also an ult not getting full LC passive bonus. And jl only get 20 energy (compared to 30) when using skill outside transmigration state so it's not like letting it cap matter much.

[@Xeconis]

I'll be honest, saying that Jingliu requires 1 SP for her whole rotation is incorrect. While you could technically use 1 SP and then her Ultimate to get her into her enhanced state where she then uses 2 skills (3 at E6) for 0 SP, you are losing a very significant amount of damage by doing this because the Ultimate will lose a damage bonus from a major trace, all the Atk% and crit rate from her talent, and you won't get the extended duration of her enhanced state. She uses 2 SP to get into her enhanced state and then gets 2 skills at 0 SP before E6. If you use her technique to enter combat the first rotation is 1 SP cheaper and 1 action sooner. With her ultimate cost being 140, expensive like you said, it's even worse to use it in order to enter the enhanced state because you won't be able to get it back until after that state ends unless you have E6, build energy (which is a large damage loss) on Jingliu, or have a Tingyun and get hit a lot. Action 1: Skill -1 SP Action 2: Skill -1 SP 100% action advance Ultimate Action 3 (immediately after 2): Skill 0 SP 10% action advance Action 4: Skill 0 SP 10% action advance Action 5: Skill 0 SP 10% action advance 95/140 energy before other sources The next two skills to enter spectral transmigration bring it to 135/140 She uses 2 SP in 5 actions, which is still very SP efficient but it's not the 1 SP which would be 1 SP in 4 actions and a large damage loss. It's a slight difference and comparable to Blade's 1 SP in 3 actions but I think it's worth mentioning because you're only getting that 1 in 4 by sacrificing a lot of damage. At E6 it becomes 2 SP in 6 actions which is the same as Blade's 1 in 3 due to the extra stack of syzygy, which also conversely makes it easier to extend the spectral transmigration state and possibly turn it into 2 SP in 7 actions by getting another ultimate, as 4 enhanced skills after an ultimate is 125/140 energy by itself. I'm saying actions because "turns" and "cycles" can get complicated with speed and I don't want to calculate AVs but 100% action advance is easy to incorporate.

6:56 woa pause

[@huejanus1333]

saved up 90 pulls and got her and her light cone! wishing luck for everyone

[@mr.mc.doesntexist7693]

Me: is she really that expensive tho? Also me: 'Has litterally an account built around "dreams" of her since the early trailers'...seems about right. Jokes aside, she is actually like Blade in a sense, in that she can ultimately fulfill a sub dps role because of her low SP consumption, the only thing you need to worry about is having a good enough healer with high energy regen to always have on demand healing (trust me, even with Luocha, without his field up, my team gets eaten alive lmao. Also, she ain't hard to build, just stack as much crit damage as you can, she gains 2.1k attack when on her enhanced state so you don't really need to focus on that and 30% is managable by everyone + the free LC from Herta shop is actually really good for her.

Funny enough despite not playing star rails atm, i can only see Jingliu as Star rail`s version of Minalca from Another eden, except a ice unit who despite doing blood taxes still follows the gameplay gimmick, where minalca embraces the dmg so hard, all her moves are aimed at dealing damage in various ways or self buffing her ability to deal dmg (without overlapping buffs from other units at all), does not apply any team mate buffs & her blood tax is to determine an extra multiplier which allows her to achieve some of the highest numbers of the game long as she has a `posse` alive to keep blood taxing from each turn. Course with AE`s case starting when they brought in the hollow empire content, they introduced its own pet system with sidekicks as a `bonus party member` to perform additional effects depending on its skill pool and sidekick equipment attached to them, but otherwise cant be harmed at all so its a power creep boon without management hassle. Which for Minalca, she gets a sidekick that applies heals & defensive boons to cover Minalca`s aggressive nature, by healing up the `blood tax` she does. Its kind of obvious though that Star rails might be leaning into the Elysia + Susannah fiasco again with units that have a `flaw` and another unit is released either before or after that unit that conviently covers up that flaw and does alot of other stuff to boot. So if they release a Healing or Defensive unit soon`ish that perfectly covers up her flaws, if Luocha aint doing that already, then one can expect this to keep happening so Mihoyo can further shove FOMO down ya`lls throats to pull EVERY new unit banner because either some content perfectly needs the new unit to work or it needs another or two other specific units for an OP unit to function at all.

[@Marky-Mark1337]

So blade e6 looks more tempting with Jingliu

[@hooorrpam1983]

I'm still stuck at phantilya

[@fishtonk5506]

me, who prefarmed by stockpiling copious amounts of resin until all her mats got revealed: damn buddy, sounds like a skill issue

[@The_Tsundere_King]

Waifu over Meta has to be the funniest yet most important reason for pulling any character in any game. Lol

[@kiritoasimax7262]

I mean Ice its my favorite element in Hsr

[@duongnguyen-s1i]

destruction: great survivability, while jingliu..... ugh hum

[@Richinnameonly]

I don't pull DPS characters. It's a rule. Plus she's destruction but plays like erudition idk I expect more.

[@ReallyDazed]

Ehhh, I whaled on Blade and now he is SS+ for me so he does more than enough DPS. So no point in getting Jingliu. Topaz though....

[@celestine_l]

ok but can we appreciate the nier soundtrack 😩

[@pulsar.]

JL + blade is so fun,

[@zieek1]

How about you show us the 4* units she's synergistic with. Instead of only giving us the pricey option.

[@preserverofcoconutmilk756]

Official subs when

[@blanc1720]

Ppl need to build their healers and not just slap the first heal set they get now

[@Lunarelise]

Them, sweating in the corner: Bailu is still better than Luocha!

[@blaze8308]

Off topic. Does HSR has higher drop rates than Genshin? Because I quit after getting Seele in 1.0 and returned in 1.3 and got Dan Heng IL at soft pity and, Fu Xuan within 20 pulls and got Bailu 30 pulls later and got Jingliu in the next 10 pull. I usually can't get 5 stars before 75+ pity in Genshin.🙂

[@reizshfelonia6471]

Nah roughly the same. The only difference is the Lightcone banner being 75-25 rather than 50-50 and has no bs Evocation path making it much less expensive.

[@lolegaia]

;-; me who missed the Kafka banner....

[@danha3107]

Waifu over meta always, but also WOOOO AMALEEE LETS GOOOO

[@migu8328]

Im forced to pull in her banner because of tingyun and qq 😢

[@Poké_Playa]

agreed!
