No way, I was about to start eating and was wondering: hmm let's see if mage uploaded another star rail video. FRONT PAGE FIRST VIDEO 1 minute ago!

[@magemasher22]

Enjoy your food! (and the vid i guess XD)

[@HaittaaksSes]

Same. I was just finishing cooking and opened KZbin to check if there was anything to watch :D

[@AlluttajaYT]

@@magemasher22 the video is enjoyable! Thank you

[@AsamiTheWitch]

That Hunt lightcone haunts me... I'm always getting it from standard pull. You unlocked a whole bunch of stuff this episode so to summarise and recap everything: - You're no longer gated by story for the equilibrium missions. You'll have access to them as you reach the required level, however as you guessed, you'd best work on leveling up you characters/traces/light cones before continuing to challenge them or you'll end up struggling. It is generally best to do them asap because they'll allow you better drops but because of how you're pacing the game, slowing down is not a bad idea at all - most people won't shoot up to the next one immediately. - Battle pass lightcone. I would recommend the Erudition one because the other Erudition cones (that aren't 5 star) are very ehh. But you won't go wrong with Abundance or Harmony either. - Stagnant shadows are well explained through the game. Temp access won't go away until you can physically reach them so don't worry about it too much. Do them as you need them. - Echoes of War. This is the most important one - you can only do three of these per week, and they absolutely should be a priority. There's a low chance of getting a lightcone or the Memory shop currency (to buy said lightcones) but more importantly, these are how you get the materials for the big trace nodes on your characters. The big trace nodes add a lot to how characters are played so definitely check what you need and try to get those as soon as you can. - And finally planar ornaments, the bane of every player's existence xD. You get those from World 3+ in Simulated universe (you'll only need trailblaze power/immersifiers to pick up the planar ornaments) Also because you asked, the stats on relics are random. Hats are always flat hp main stat, gloves are always flat atk main stat but everything else is random. I wouldn't worry about it too much right now, put whatever you feel works on everyone, give it a few levels so you're not as squishy but don't worry about perfect or superior stats yet. You've still not unlocked the highest rarities so it's not worth putting in too much effort as of now.

[@magemasher22]

Thanks asamiiiii

[@paradox4o]

That's a great general summary of the new stuff from the episode!

[@wonderpunch4984]

In case you forgot, there's this option called fate's atlas in the missions tab. There you can see the order of all the quests. Telling you this because you might want to do some inbetween quests before going to the next area. Not necessarily always companion missions (the purple ones) or side missions(the blue ones), but also trailblaze continuance missions (the orange ones) wich are like companion missions but on a bigger scale and actually relevant to the story (most of them atleast). Anyways i would recommend doing them when you can before moving onto the next area

[@Cria-r4l]

Make sure that you do the Orange mission: Crown of the Mundane and Divine because that gives you. Acheron's trace materials.

[@So_Viet8032]

Trailblaze continuance missions are literally the continuation of the story of worlds

[@wonderpunch4984]

@@So_Viet8032 but they are missable

[@chickchickia]

[@puukiipiikuu1241]

When doing Simulated Universe, you don't actually have to spend Trailblaze Power. You can still go through the World and simply chose to not collect the rewards. The World will still be considered '"completed" and your Index will still update.

[@HaittaaksSes]

The Battle Pass LCs are all pretty inconsequential in the long run. You'll get better options from other places, but I'd personally go with either the Erudition one (Today Is Another Peaceful Day) or the Harmony one (Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds), since those are probably the most useful ones. Also Herta is probably the one that would benefit most from that Ice DMG set you got.

[@awesomeperson5150]

Can confirm that the Erudition LC is really good. Problem with the Harmony one is that there are already a lot of good Harmony cones, like Cogs, Past & Future, or Rendezvous, so there’s less of a use case

[@HaittaaksSes]

@@awesomeperson5150 Yeah. I just wanted to give multiple choices, but there really isn't many great ones and imo the Harmony one is the 2nd best of the options.

[@hjlm1886]

Thank you for the video in your hard circumstances. I hope everything will get better for you

[@magemasher22]

Thank you hak, I hope it was enjoyable!

[@Cinnamon_Shaey]

1:23:11 you totally missed Seele standing there looking at her future wife at the celebration of Bronya xD

[@captaincepita9438]

Hanya is a pretty good support, she buffs ATK, Speed and gives skill points

[@curkinho]

23:29 as far as i remember, when a random trotter appears during a battle outside of any other game mode, you'll get more materials from that battle if you defeat it. You can also find some roaming around in certain areas of the map, they are counted as chests and give you stellar jades if you defeat them (but they can be pretty hard to catch sometimes).

[@magemasher22]

Ahhh ok, cheers!

[@cryoice6511]

Don't forget to grab your level up rewards from Pom-Pom!

[@smeerly9950]

hope you're feeling better man!

[@Sovarium]

Let's go!! Savior of Belobog continues his journey.

[@Sheevlord]

There are two types of trotters you can encounter. The normal ones that randomly appear in battles (they give extra drops), and golden trotters, Golden trotters walk in the overworld, and will run away from you. So you need to attack them first before they escape. If you defeat them they give stellar jades. And they don't respawn. Once you defeat the golden trotter in an area that's it - it's gone. They are actually listed together with treasure chests on the map screen.

[@ubermenschen01]

Hanya looks like Xueyi for a good reason: they're sisters! You won't meet her for a while. She's a pretty good support; buffs one character with her ult, puts a mark on enemies that gives back skill points when teammates attack the marked target.

[@SdarkDeathGod]

42:36 Oh you'll be seeing a lot of BS in the next Planet Mage. You just got a taste of what's to come 😅

[@greyswallow7076]

The giddy feeling I have whenever I see your HSR video is surprising even for me 😆 Ahhh what a wonderful thing to wake up to!!

[@FlashStatic]

One of the characters on the next banner is Jing Liu. She's a 5-star ice destruction character who's really strong. She was the previous best dps before Acheron. If you decide to get her she can make use of that destruction light cone and the ice relics you just got.

[@Ashenshugura]

Mage, your voice and narration is phenomenal. Thanks for being awesome my friend.

That’s insanely kind, thank you Ashen!

[@Ashenshugura]

@@magemasher22 Of course! You deserve it. Heck, Stardot and Neon would back me up lol

[@Rietto]

[@themetronomian7239]

We conclude jarilo 6! Hope you're feeling better mage! Focus on yourself 😁 We're here to stay 💟

[@myxbaah143ras]

Boots can get SPD as a main stat. Its a slightly rare drop unfortunately. And yes, you can get SPD as sub stats on all pieces but all sub stats are random so good luck on farming. You cannot get the main stat of the piece as a sub stat, i.e can't get ATK% sub stat on a ATK% piece, etc.

[@monkeywadaf8863]

As for regional shops, you can buy entire shop, it's not a waste because that currency is only used on that regional shop and this shops never restock, the only infinite thing in that shops are credits, but you need to buy entire shop first to unlock option to buy credits. Also buying everything from that shop unlocks all rewards from it.

[@GiftsTrix]

When it comes to the world stores (hertarium on the space station, shield on Jarilo, etc) they will enver restock. There is more than enough of the currency that you can find across the worlds to buy everything with more to spare. So there isn't like a real way to "waste" it by buying stuff. You'll eventually get it all.

[@heron619]

The "Temporary Early Access" thing on the ascension stuff is kind of misleading because the "temporary" label only goes away once YOU discover them in the map, which in turn makes them permanently available forever. So it is technically true but not in the way that most people might think.

[@muffiech270]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK!!! I hope you're feeling better TuT

Cheers muffiech!

[@ryanbenedict2754]

We finished the main plot for the first arc! Now you can play some of the old events from the travel log which can be more streaming content! Tho some of the events have a story in it which fits into the timeline which you can view in the Fate Atlas. Great vid as usual, Mage! Take care of your health, we'll be waiting for the next one!

[@ElinneaG]

The game really did throw a lot of things at you at once huh😅 I agree when you said that it's a good thing to have goals to work towards, even if it's a bit overwhelming at times to decide what to focus on. Just take your time, and take care of yourself. We'll be here whenever you have another update to share.

[@HHH-rf2hv]

Congratulations on finishing Belobog 🎉🎉🎉

[@bryancullen6606]

Ironically enough, one of the best relic sets for Pela is actually the one that boosts wind damage. It has massive energy recharge so you can essentially use her Ult every other turn with her at the slowest. Regarding relics, the sub stats do get added randomly as you level them up, which is where the real endgame grind comes to get the best stats you can on them. Admittedly, this isn't required at all to go through the entirety of the story, mostly just to beat the final levels of MoC and Pure Fiction, so you won't have to worry about that halting any progress. I use the same exact team with my Acheron. The early access parts of the Shadows are ones you dont have access to the maps they are on, letting newer players still raise their fancy characters if they aren't full caught up with the story.

[@Iru173]

Xueyi and Hanya are sister toogether, you can see what happen to Xueyi before in the battlepass lc at 17:44 And the lc Under tge blue sky (destruction) the 2 kids inside that lc was Hanya and Xueyi when they were kid

[@mattcole5312]

As a sidenote, to interact with that suitcase you should have choose "investigate". Congrats on (almost) finishing Belobog ! And yes, Hanya is good (all harmony characters are tbh, quite though to choose who to choose at times)

[@hjlm1886]

By the way mage. The worldshop currency is a one time thing. When you buy everything in the shop it is done and you can only buy credits from then on. The whole deal of that shop is claiming all the rewards which happens when you bought everything in the shop

[@choerrim7745]

Good observation on Hanya looking similar to Xueyi 😄

[@0v_x0]

Boots are the only relic type that can have speed as the main stat, is what people meant. Any piece can roll speed substats, but speed boots are particularly coveted because of their incredible utility. And yes, all relic stats are random, with some being less common than others (crit, spd, energy regen; the latter can only be a main stat on link ropes and never a substat). This applies to the drop rate of main stats as well as the rolls into subs.

[@0v_x0]

As for the ice relic set, I suggest using it on Herta. March can really benefit from crit damage and Pela requires high eidolon and trace investment to be at all useful as DPS. Meanwhile Herta's E2 (which is free from simulated universe) increases her crit rate and she gets more from her traces as you go.

[@symmol27]

If you want to cheer Pom Pom up, you can talk to him and do a small side mission that changes everyday and gives a small amount of credits. Quick tip if you want to use the heal technique with Destruction MC you can always change his path and do that and then switch back to Preservation

[@Khanxay]

One of the other major differences between March and FireTB is that March can Cleanse and remove a debuff with her Skill after she levels a certain trace in her tree. Debuffs are like half of the enemy mechanics in the game and cleansing can counter some enemies really hard. For example, the wind elite centaur that puts a target on you team before firing, that targeting is cleanse-able (though not all the target lock-on mechanics are) and the centaur will cancel its attack if it has no targets when its next turn comes up which effective means it does two turns of nothing if you can remove the targeting marks. There are many enemies like that or ones that apply dots or other debuffs that do make fights significantly harder if you can't remove them so there may be some fights later where you might want March instead of FireTB if there are no other cleansing options. March 7th also gains in-battle ally healing with her last Eidolon so she can be more complete as a solo sustain later. When I got Huohuo, it was really eye-opening how strong cleansing can be. She is best cleanser in the game and even then she's limited to 6 cleanses per Skill use, which imo really says something about the power level of cleanses. I don't have Luocha to try but he can remove buffs from mobs so I imagine a team with both Huohuo and Luocha would have no issues with 95% of encounters since they would make most of the enemy mechanics non-functional. The last 5% would be mechanics that aren't removable.

[@Sheevlord]

You don't need immersifiers to claim rewards from Sim Universe. You can pay either with 40 trailblaze power or one immersifier. Those are more for convenience. For example, if you need to spend trailblaze power and don't have much time you can make immersifiers for later use in Sim Universe. Hanya looks like Xueyi because they are sisters. She is basically a budget version of Sparkle. Her skill marks the target with a special seal, and the next 2 attacks on that target will restore an extra skill point.

[@Davieeeee]

Mage Is back! With the star rail bangers! Can't wait for you to reach the next chapter of your trailblazing! Hope you doing fine also!

[@higgitaj]

"On the Fall of an Aeon" from Herta's shop is a fantastic Destruction Light Cone that's entirely free-to-play and non-gacha (and way better than the battlepass Destruction cone) The Erudition battlepass cone is pretty decent and the Harmony one is good, with the caveat being that ALL Harmony light cones are pretty OP so there's usually a better option than the RNG cone... I'd personally recommend the Erudition cone if you plan on playing your QQ or the Preservation cone for March or if you want to get Aventurine when he comes out next week

[@0v_x0]

20:40 BTW you can adjust the settings in the pause menu to set ultimate use to manual during auto-battle, so your team automatically attacks but you can choose when to ult. I rarely use auto myself but if I do it's always with manual ult, I get bothered by the inefficiency otherwise 😅

[@aerikang192]

58:00 You can now do weekly boss fights that allow u to claim trace material ascension drops 3x per week, I highly reccomend prioritising using your TB power on those whenever there's a weekly reset This entire quest arc really solidified the Trailblaze trio and fam for me. Seeing the dynamic among the Nameless is just so heartwarming. >~< Also can u imagine how mind blowing it must have been for all those kids born in the Underground to see the freaking sky for the first time? I can't even begin to comprehend it. (PS I love Natascha)

[@AetherNightmare]

No worries, it's never a "waste" to buy things from the world shops. They have limited inventory anyways, and you'll always be able to find enough special money for it all.

[@Sheevlord]

Guardian Shadow doesn't impose all of her bans at once. Rather she chooses a random one (at least I think it's random, maybe she picks them in a preset order). The game actually shows a message saying what the ban is. So in theory you can usually work around it and not trigger her follow up attack.

[@papitoalcasid350]

I love these vids mage good job on completing the jarilo VI

[@curkinho]

8:28 whoever told you that the boots "tipically" give you speed is either extremely lucky or coping hard, yes, they're the only piece of relic sets that can give you speed as a main stat, but for some reason speed boots are too rare to get, which is annoying because that's literally the stat that almost every character need (at least from a meta perspective, don't worry too much about it)

[@Kuronosa]

Those "Little Baby Shields" can get to be rather impressive using Preservation Path in the "Metaverse".

[@nothingjustnothing5254]

1:31:20 No, these Immersifiers they are a variation of the currency during the passage of the Virtual Universe. They are used to get rewards (Planar Ornaments), and if you run out of them, then you can just get 1 piece of them for 40 trailblaze power. Fun fact: Xueyi and Hanya are sisters :>

omg the station from ff9 where garnet meet marcus and cinna. i love those station i always love the gates! when i first ff 9 i always fantasize visiting those place, must be cozy and the air must be smell nice.

[@twistedelixir1795]

I love Hanya so much, even though I don't use her in game. She just looks so sleepy, I relate too hard. She gives extra skill points, which can be really useful for certain skill point hungry characters (QQ would be one such character, so they would pair well). Sadly, you only really see her in a side story that has her as a supporting character, so most of her lore is hidden within character info, a light cone, and some of the documents despite her backstory being one of the most tragic I have seen in HSR.

[@Sheevlord]

While you're in Bronya's office you can play around with the globe for a secret achievement. And also you can make a mess of Bronya's table. She will catch you in the act and give you a recipe to craft high tech protective gear.

[@Sheevlord]

If you want to increase speed your best bet are boots with speed as their main stat. Speed can also appear as a random substat on all relics but it's not something you can rely on. RNG can be really annoying.

[@symmol27]

Thanks for uploading and editing the part from the stream.

[@KazEka7]

Start investing abundance character, you will need it some day (The healer is so important in this game, my luocha has carry my team since ver 1.1! The abundance is that important)

[@alexmoult7725]

it just suddenly came to me. tip: if you accidentally skip dialogue, or want to double check, there is a transcript button in conversations where you can read the transcript

[@lakersouthpaw]

For those battle pass light cones, this is all my personal opinion, but I like Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds if you plan to use Harmony. I know you have a Nihility-based team with Acheron, but usually it's good to have a few good teams and most teams will use a Harmony unit. The Destruction one I feel is kind of a waste since you will usually have another character who is a dedicated healer (or shielder). Erudition one isn't bad either if you plan to use Erudition characters, but there is also a good F2P Erudition lightcone (Seriousness of Breakfast, I think you have it already).

[@icedteatoni]

The erudition light cone from the battle pass is the best out of them.

[@nengtick489]

1:23:17 You can actually see Seele in the crowd there!

[@Sheevlord]

You can get Galagher's signature light cone from the Forgotten Hall store. However, that Abundance light cone is pretty good for Lynx. It even has Lynx in the picture. In any case, if you don't have a good destruction cone then go for that. You can pick another cone from the next Battle Pass. The light cone selection is always the same.

[@ThreeTimesFaster]

Wow, I forgot how this part of the game dumps an avalanche of new stuff on you. Echo of War is what drops the materials to activate characters' bonus ability traces, so it's the real game changer here. Planar ornaments aren't usually a priority at this point, but the 3x drops event makes it a good time to stock up. Out of the battlepass lightcones, Erudition is the go-to for most, but Harmony is another safe bet. If you still want a Destruction lightcone, the one in the Simulated Universe shop (On the Fall of an Aeon) is Xueyi's best-in-slot, and still great on anyone else. You can also superimpose it every two weeks. Hanya is all about buffing one ally's SPD/ATK and making one enemy receive more damage and recover extra skill points when hit. As far as I'm concerned she also just barely tops Gallagher for having the best 4* ult animation to date.

Id say go for either the Harmony or Erudition lightcone. Although you dont use harmony characters much but then again you do switch your characters around a lot so who knows. Also no need to worry about the temporary early access. I believe it stays there until you finally come across the subject in question in the overworld.

[@tamarlevy5949]

Heck yeah new episode!!!

[@edijuna3760]

Lets gooo The main stat on relics is random when you obtain it. Substat as well random when you upgrade the relic. Speed boots and Energy Rope main stats is one of the hardest to obtain in my case😂 Luckily you can make custom relics if you have the material.

[@Cria-r4l]

A recommendation: Do the orange trailblaze continuance mission:Crown of the Mundane and Divine because that gives you. Acheron's trace materials. As well, a Dr. Ratio quest unlocks after so you can meet him. Hes a great character.

[@Sheevlord]

Buying trace materials from the world shop isn't a waste. After all, once you bought the recipes, relics and the eidolon it's not like there's much else left, and you don't need the special currency for anything else anyway. So you might as well buy everything you see.

[@shipper9974]

Thank you so much for a new episode, it came out so soon after that last one, it was such a pleasant surprise! Welt's discovery was quite the reality check, but I'm glad there's still hope for Belobogians, even if it's going to take a crazy amount of time for Jarilo-VI to recover. Seeing so many features pop up at once and unravel in a snowball made even me overwhelmed, and i've been using those since forever😂 Most of those new features have a weekly "plan", if you will - you can just follow the nameless honor tasks to get a certain amount done in a week, so you get both the pass points and a crap ton of materials to go with those and then use the rest on whatever else is needed, best of both worlds fr In any case, really glad you're still enjoying the game and hope you're feeling better!❤️‍🩹 It was great to see yet another day of your trailblazing journey, Mage!🌹✨

[@nishantbalachandran3966]

The hunter of glacial forest set is good for Herta. The musketeer set for now is better for Pela. Once u get eagle of twilight line relics aka the wind set, that'll be the best for Pela. And if u happen to pull for Jingliu which is the next banner character along with Adventurine, the glacial forest set is good for her too. And of course if u want more relic sets, u can always grind the cavern of corrosion off screen to get more of them or synthesise and craft relic sets with ur relic remains.

[@Sheevlord]

If you have the Preservation MC in the team you might want to use his technique before combat starts, so you enter the battle with a shield. Especially if your MC is lacking speed. Also, the equilibrium domains allow the use of consumables between battles, so you can heal up and buff yourself.

[@Sheevlord]

I spoke too soon. Should've watched further before commenting. Oh well.

[@minhtrile8260]

the reason why Hanya is so similar to xueyi is because they are sisters :D also here some recap on some characters: Hanya is a physical skill point generator , she specialized on generating skill points for you through her skill Quingque is a quantum dps that is very skill points hungry she need to gamble through her skill to get her advanced normal to deal big number dmg Luca is there to apply tons of bleeds so maybe he is good in acheron team? (wouldnt recomend putting him inside one rn tho you got a solid acheron party already) Lynx is a quantum healer that cleanse debuffs , multi heals , multi cleanse and increase Destruction/Persevation Taunt Vaulu (the chance of being hit) Bailu is not a very good character but idk if you like her then i can also sumarised her....skill: rng heal , burst: wide team heal and her talent is bassicly a revive in case a character die

[@meriwidget3474]

Boots are the only item that have a chance of having a speed main stat. 134 speed is minimum for going faster than standard mobs, but that's end game stuff, don't sweat it too much. Eh, the BP Lightcones are pretty mid overall, but the Erudition one is the best 4 star one for QQ, who I think you have, but just my 2 cents. Any resource you need for advancement, you can click on that item and it'll link where you need to go or what you need to kill to farm that specific resource, then it'll portal you to the place you need to do so, it's very overwhelming at first but you'll get it :). I'm just happy they added the temporary access for new players, great feature :) Pela can dispel that revive buff on the knight you fought :) I still can't believe Asta and Hook have the same Voice Actor.. great range lol. You can eventually buy everything from the faction shops, so don't worry about waste. Copies of QQ are a good thing, she doesn't really start to get good until E4, and better at E6 :).

[@nott1039]

1:35:13 You have good eyes Hanya looks like Xueyi because they are actually twin sisters! 😁

[@Sheevlord]

You probably should farm for Acheron's ascention materials now while they are in early access. I think that once her banner is over the early access will disappear as well. To make life easier get Fu Xuan as the support character. She can trivialize most fights. Speaking of trivializing fights - I would highly suggest pulling for Aventurine when his banner arrives. He might be an even stronger sustain character than Fu Xuan, or at least on par with her. Having a strong shielder on the team makes a huge difference. Preservation MC isn't bad, but he is the jack of all trades. Does a little shielding, a decent amount of damage, can break toughness pretty well - but as such he is a master of none of these things.

[@AlluttajaYT]

Choosing the lightcone: I don't know much about it since I have never bought the pass but I've heard that the pass lightcones are bad. I think the erudition one is the best out of those. But pick whatever you want :) Yeah relics have randomized substats but the main stats are random when it comes to the boots and body (later planar ornaments as well). Head and Gloves always have the same main stat (HP% and ATK%). The boots that you were looking at had ATK% but usually it's good if you get Speed boots (Acheron doesn't need speed boots). Also I think the set you gave to Pela is better on Herta but I don't think it matters that much until you start caring about the best relics for your characters and grinding for those relics and leveling them up.

[@Cria-r4l]

Sim uni has a 3x drop rate event going on, you should take advantage of that while it lasts.

[@caiosss]

The game can be overwhelming with all the different mechanics, upgrading systems, materials, so take it easy. Your playthrough is awesome first because you're a fun guy but also because you're not trying to be the perfect gamer with the perfect damage. But if I can give two small hints, the shield Preservation Trailblazer gives increases with your DEF, so that's the main status you want for the MC. And for Pela you'll want a bunch of Effect Hit Rate so she can land her debuffs, you'll also want to make her tanky with lots of HP so she doesn't die easily. That said, I think you unlocked everything the game has except Pure Fiction, which is an endgame content like Forgotten Hall (Memory of Chaos), so you won't feel "more" overwhelmed I think. Another small tip that has nothing to do with gameplay. You'll see something called "Fate Atlas" on your missions/quests screen, on the bottom left. That is a timeline of all the main quests, character quests and even normal blue quests. It's a fun feature to visualize where you are in the story, when this or that quest happened, etc. The current character quests that you have unlocked are for Asta, Silver Wolf, Hook and Natasha I believe. You'll soon unlock Serval's too, and many others. They are fun content to know more of the characters, but don't feel pressured to go through them, I only do for characters I'm interested for example. Lastly, Hanya is Xueyi's sister, your intuition is good.

15:48 Although this is just a side quest, I definitely recommend it. It introduces one of my favorite creatures 😊 Edit: I even bought a plush of this creature in real life 😆

Just so you know, if you get a five star lightcone on the standard banner, your next five star from the standard banner will be a character.

Ah that's good to know!

As i said, the luofu enemies get TOUGH. 42:20

[@BlascoClips]

Somebody probably told you this but Hanya is actually Xueyi sister!

[@icedteatoni]

I know you don't really want to do it this way but trying each new unit out first to see if you like them is pretty much the best way. Since this is a gacha game, trying to get every single character (or even pulling for them all) is not really the best idea since then you might miss out on one you actually really like/want. Just a heads-up of course.

[@martim5648]

1:35:15 funny you say that since theyre actually sisters!

[@Levasic2]

Most of the bp lightcones are not that good (except for erudition, harmony and maybe abundance they are op as hell) so choose the one you want the most

[@Scratto]

1:03:54 use all the currency u have to get the rewards^^ u want to empty that shop anyway also just use autoplay if u dont wanna skip the dialoge on accident xD

[@maciektheguywithaweirdname]

About the battle pass lightcones, most of them are really bad, you can get much better ones in the forgotten hall shop and Hertas store. The only exceptions are the erudition one which is one of the best 4 star LC in the game (the best 4 star lightcone for QQ), the harmony is decent if you are low on harmony LCs and the abundance one in better than nothing. But if you’re asking for an opinion, 100% the erudition one, and if you get the next battle passes then I would still get the erudition one until S5. But I may be a little biased as a QQ main…

[@camokiler]

RIP sleep like the dead is probably the worst 5 star light cone and worse than the one you get in Simulated universe shop.

1:02:07 You clicked the wrong button to get the free stuff. 😆. It’s a bit of false advertising because the stuff in the store isn’t free, but you can get free food from him. Instead of clicking “I want to buy something”, which opens the store, click “Those free snacks you’ve mentioned before…” when talking to Turner. You can get free food this way. Come back the next few days to continue getting free food.
