Punishing Gray Raven: SSS+ New Qu - 启明 Shukra Ice Warzone Demonstration (Beta Test)

Chrome: 4P Da Vinci + 4P Chen Jiyuan
Qu: 4P Signature + 4P Cottie
Ayla: 4P Signature + 2P Einsteina + 2P Guinevere
Early Initial run with Qu + Ice gang, probably better way to play her later on + higher score
Difficulty: 6/10
Enjoyment: 4/10
Animation: 9/10
Damage: 9/10
Meta: 10/10
Pros:
-Very big AOE core passive + ultimate
-So much more damage compared to Plume Lucia
-Animation pretty damn good
-Thighs
Cons:
-Very Orb Hungry if double ultimate rotation
-Not hard to play, just tons of unnecessary animation lock
-Some animation will make her backstep
-Requires built ice team or damage can fall off a lot due to lack of buffs/resistance reduction
-With Qu added to the ice team, I can comfortably say RIP Plume.
Though ice team is still quite weak, mainly chrome's terrible dps
Ayla although does damage, it almost feels like swapping to Ayla
feels like a dps loss?
-Qu does a lot of damage as long as u can keep refunding orbs.
However, I don't think anyone would want to watch her use her ultimate every 7 seconds
-SS for a smoother rotation
-SSS if you're a big Qu fan and want to outscore others in ice warzone
Seriously though, Ice needs a new tank, chrome is deadweight atm

​@@fa_peacocklol, I'm thinking the same thing. But dang! That dmge is something.

I really like her basic attacks and throne animation. It reminds me of her debut version's art on login screen.

​@@fa_peacockThat's warzone gameplay but in other modes characters are fun cause you aint spamming ult

Oh nice, her signature also stops time. Now we get to enjoy the legs without worrying about time limits.

[@aungheinkyaw9118]

Her animation is quite long but it is quite the same to empyrea(Maybe not). Empyrea has a 3-ping machanic but she is quite short; only about 4s Ultimate. Some players are saying that her Ultimate is quite annoying due to her timing. But one thing for sure that this is SSS+ gameplay, still don't know how the SS (f2p) will work. Also other thing, players complain about Hyperreal Core skill due to his 8s cooldown. If he granted Energy by pinging 3-pings, that would be okay. Also Sigamata also has core CD but her swordstaff form and Ultimate did perfectly with timing. When her Ultimate is done, you just has to wait for 3 or 4s. On the other hand, Lee has to keep draining his energy during his domain Expension; leading him to charge his energy. But now Kuro released the no CD Core but Long Ultimate and they still complain and even ask for "Animation Skip" feature. I don't want that feature to add. But Kuro has to add this feature if they keep releasing long animation characters. I am deeply sorry for this long comment but i have to say these.

[@mohammadfahimhossain9975]

instead of removing cd from lee hyperreal, I want them to add the same for alpha and make the cd more effective for bianca so that they aren't on the screen for 80-100% of the time and you really have to strategise and rotate with other characters effectively

[@dragoonrick333]

Qu's animation is indeed too long. I think to be fair, animation skip can be implemented, just like other games "show animation once per day"

[@rafelt4147]

Now we only need Glory leap to complete the ice team

[@veoano6729]

What if chrome and rosetta switched elements

[@amarilistheodore9156]

Better Glory leap cuz my f2p ass can't afford newer one ig😂😂😂

[@skildfrix]

[@melllodia]

[@Raphenox]

I think someone mentioned it earlier, but I don't really enjoy Qu's signature move. Sitting on a throne of ice is cool and all... if it was her ending animation, but she's in the middle of battle. Are telling me, in order to fight an enemy, she is going to turn her back, walk up a set of stairs, sit on a throne, swing her legs, and go "bam!" Every construct until now actually has a animation that makes sense, Ayla's Kaleido being kinda liberal with her ultimate, but it still felt like an attack. This just felt like watching a cutscene, not my cup of tea.

[@klyntvickleblack2648]

if you're a whel, then you have a right to complain. That ult spam is only applicable in SSS+.

[@TrinitySting]

​@@TrinityStingignore that dude hes just dumb. He's in the whole comment cesrion just refusing to grasp what people are complaining about the ult

[@ssadalas]

As someone said, playing will feel diff than watching. Her ult has 4 gauge in which you need to 3ping each to fill up, kinda like empyrea. At the same time, you dont have to fill it up, you can skip it all by pressing her ult again with the demerit being less damage.

[@JayqualinUnderson]

​​@@TrinityStingit's more disgusting ppl complain about it, as if they will have the same experience as "that" 👎

[@terry5183]

As "cool" as her signature move looks... I can see how annoying it can get when it keeps repeating every few seconds. I like em short and sweet with cool camera angles, like Crimson Weave or Ayla Kaleido. Couldnt they set the throne animation as a victory screen?

[@Farhan-ny8wt]

OG Qu design was better imo. The green colour scheme + spear user was unique. Now she looks generic and her ult animation isn’t really suited for a battle lol maybe for the ending screen instead.

[@aaron_guzman]

Qu + Hikari = chilling flashbacks.

[@shadowboi8620]

What makes her enjoyment 4 out 10 specifically, and what could they do to fix that?

[@Carsu12]

If I had guess, it's probably the walking up the stairs cutscene. It looks cool first time, but it's a long ass filler where you just ping the orbs and press ult again

[@shadowboi8620]

@@Carsu12 Maybe they should scrap that part of the ult and redistribute the damage to other areas.

[@whatamess8894]

​​@@Carsu12the main problem is not her ult, is her animations lock wich is a thing that most of the new rank s dps have.

​@whatamess8894 They gotta make those animations faster or make them more dodge cancellable then it seems.

[@isshonsaha8673]

[@TimZzzi]

No, that just simple-minded. Spam ults should never be long, as those get old very quick.

[@fletarious]

@@TimZzzi but it is really take your time ? i dont think so... the cast time between this Qu and liv emprea still same yknow. people saw this as 3rd view person, im quite sure everytime i see a video of liv ult still take time than lee and wata. the problem it itself is the animation, people as usual hate long attacking pose. still make sense if something like casting or charging.

[@TimZzzi]

You can think whatever you want, taking time is not the point. You do realise you will be playing this character in ice team for over a year? Empyria is now a glorified QTE bot for the fire team. You barely need to use her in the rotations. At this point Qu would have worked better in a 2 part rotation with this long animation. Now it's just more animation lock galore.

[@fletarious]

@@TimZzzi i mean thats whole point, and you are like talking can get all new chara and play with them all the time. even qu just release people will play other team. the presentation itself already good for people like Qu, at this point Qu might be treated like karenina scire by less people using her. if you talking about just bcs she is ice attacker and important one, she more capable already with those big number.

8 seconds long ult lmfao this game is literally just Honkai now Edit: Don't even bring up 3pings when Kuro themselves have been straying further and further away from that mechanic over a year now, current PGR gameplay is just activating core passive (glorified cutscene) into ridiculously long ultimates. You look at core passive and ult animations more than you actually interact with the enemies or the 3ping system, hell most characters only have 2 color coded orbs these days

Saying that over one ult is making me laugh 😭 if u don’t like it then skip her

Yap the whole Gen 3 SS3 thing made no sense to me, characters like Stigmata already had 2 time stop Ults, Neir team had reduced cool down years ago and SS3(kinda optional) was a thing by Karenina Patch, if Gen 3 was a thing then it would be P2W by Definitions with all these SS3 requirements

[@abhishekbhattacharyya2950]

@@HonkaiDaily yeah, absolutely agree. Also I think Watanabe had reduced cooldown, lots of fire shred and personal DMG since I heard LEE hyperreal can't use his core passive all the time so fire team keeps on switching char. So I think Kuro just gave the reduced cooldown for whales to increase fire warzone scores. Also heard that even after uncle release fire team is still not the best.
