remember boys and girls we are getting close to the herrscher of the year so start saving now!

[@Ark-zy8in]

“Saving” what’s that word Never heard about it before

[@unjoyest204]

Bro I got ratio’d no way😭😭😭😭

[@MoonshineEX]

Hahah yesss def saving till then~

[@silverbowftw5225]

Do you think I still have time to save up enough crystals

[@cl4p-tp69]

Considering how I pulled 60 times on HoF banner and got nothing in return, this next patch is definitely a life saver. I still don't know if I need to keep pulling for Kiana since she's guaranteed in like 20 more pulls, or should I save. Either way, I'm already content with my Mobius so no biggie.

[@MoonshineEX]

Oooo yeaaa mobius is guuud~ HoF in 20 pulls?! Ayee she's nearly home UwU

[@cl4p-tp69]

@@MoonshineEX but since I'm about to do a x10 pull on the HoF banner, should I really save the gems for next patch or try and get her (weapon not entirely sure tho) since the banner is ending in a few days.

I’d say just roll your so close you might as well grab her

[@cl4p-tp69]

@@Hibiki_Io Update: I've gotten her along with her signature weapon + Himeko T. Now the real question is what stigma should I put on her as I don't have crystals and is currently saving for HoS in the near future. What's the best stigma for my situation?

[@jpikspiks2067]

Get HoF, I like the "kaboom" on her ulti. 😂 I main Genshin (AR58) and I started like 4 days ago here in Honkai, created 2 accounts. Luckily, my main got Aponia on 1st pull and still pulling for the weapon and last middle stigmata. The other acc. for my lil sis got HoF & HoS on starter supply.

[@MoonshineEX]

Oooo wowwww amazing pulls, both accounts!! Welcome to Honkai! The story’s gonna be a wild ride UwU Also check out my starter guide if you ever feel lost :D

[@Shadowenclave47]

Thanks for the advice. I actually forgot that i left that comment lol. I went ahead and got HoF and managed to get her signature weapon (twice in 1 10 pull) and 1 of her stigmas before i ran out of crystals (i swear, i am way luckier on the weapon/stigma banners than i am on the character banners because i the vast majority of my crystals were used trying to get HoF lol). I also managed to get HoT signature weapon from the spending event and i bought one of her stigmas from the BP shop. So now i have PE at 4/4, HoT & HoF at 2/4. Also, i do have Spina. Once i build my crystals back up, i might still go for HoS to make my PE stronger.

[@MoonshineEX]

Oooo grats on ur pulls!!! Yeaaa getting more valks means u can have more elemental teams!! Yeaa HoS can be built eventually~ (even my HoS is 1/4 sooo)

[@confetti7543]

im brand new to honkai and ur channel is carrying me on its back LOL i tried getting help on the mhy official honkai server but people there are super rude and often times give me contradictory or even just not helpful advice aa

Facebook group is friendlier and more helpful. If you use that. But don't mention genshin. Sour taste left after genshin review bombing

[@sheikhxenos]

I have aponia's full stig set and im wondering if I should pull for her weapon or use forge weapon and save up for another banner My main problem is that I don't have a gud phys team current one is BKE, DK(2*) and DP/BB and also I hv AKA, HB and RC as ice team but ice rita is useless without her weapon and I also dont hv HoF's any signature gear (dea anchora t, wang zhaojun bm with jingwei's wings), but my elec team is almost fully geared except eden so im kinda stuck here :(

[@MoonshineEX]

Ooo helluu! Hmmm I’d recommend getting the main weapons for the valks! Stigs are good, but the main weapon rly makes the difference~

[@pkjose1343]

Hey I know I'm super late here but I'm a relatively new player (Cap. Level: 48) and I know the barebones of the game so far. Coming from Genshin this game is quite a shock lol. For context I saw Aponia, loved her design and lore and I HAD to have her so I got the game and actually got her on my first 10 pull ever lol (and later got her signature weapon too finally). I'm also working on Eden since they both work so well together (she's SS rn). So I really want a third support to complete the lightning team but at this point in time I don't have one and have just been slotting in HoR lol. I heard that Fishul is great but idk how to obtain her. Also I'm one that cares for meta but also loves using my favorite characters and Elysia (pink haired elf girl) has caught my eye but I know she's physical. So I'm wondering if I should try my luck with the starter supply and get HoS (love her as well lol) as a support now or just wait for their reruns whenever they pop up. I know I threw a lot at you just now, apologies but if you or anyone ever replies I'll be really grateful!

[@royalvarez24]

If you want to really build a physical team you should just wait until senti banner comes out the first week of next patch which should be on the 1st of july. Fischl and eden are both the best lightning supports at the moment and you can farm both of them in the asterite shop and the battle arsenal. You can get 30 fragments for the characters in the asterite shop and 20 fragments for the characters in the battle arsenal and the shops reset every monday. Asterite you get from events, memorial arena, open world task finalization, etc. Pins for the battle arsenal can be farmed from the material event called "Time Works". You can get pins 3 times a day for 20 stamina each.

[@pkjose1343]

@@royalvarez24 I see! I didn't realize that Fischl was farmable until recently! I'll definitely take your advice thanks. Also, how do we know what banners are coming next ahead of time? Is there an external source I should be following? Sorry to bother lol.

[@yuunagi215]

Hey I want to ask Is it better to wait for the Herrscher of the year or get silver wings bronya? I've been playing for three months and I don't have any ice dps

[@isazainal778]

Waiting for herrscher of the year is risky since you don't know what type or element they are. I know there the early access and all but to be safe I would pick silver wing. Looking at released herrscher chart we have physical range > Ice > Lighting > physical support > fire and the herrscher of the year might not what you need. I'm guessing the new herrscher might be physical since mihoyo is pushing elysia herrscher of ego

[@MoonshineEX]

Ice DPS may take awhile to come back, so SW is a good pick! Additionally, she pairs well with Bronie and AE!!

[@MoonshineEX]

Yeaaa!! Kinda weird that the coming patches are Phy-focused, but yeaa that sounds like the current path that hoyoverse is gonna take UwU

[@dawn.-.]

Hello it’s me again lol :p What’s the difference between q-singularis and q-manifold? Also there are 3 coop modes to choose from? What’s their difference and what should I prioritize?

[@MoonshineEX]

Hi Dawnn!! tbh I'm not v familiar w q-sing and g-mani (no access to them past lvl 81), but I believe the rewards are the same so go for whichever you enjoy! The 3 coop stages (assuming lvl 81 and above) focus on Ether Fuel, Spirit Jade and Einstein Torus respectively~

[@emeraly2721]

pro tip: just pick your waifu aka the girl looks the most attractive to you

[@locoman535]

I could save 25k - 30k crystal before hot/7t banner drop. Should i pull on hot/7t or wait for new herrscher?? Im new player playing for 40 days by now. 7t banner look pretty juicy with zhenyi/turg and i dont have any of them. I only have hos/hof + their weapon right now from starter banner. But i dont have a good support for hof and have no physical dps for hos so both fire and physical team are pretty weak. 7t banner could help me build lighting team :( And im planning to stay f2p Edit: i also have KoC for hot (if u recommend me to pull her)

[@ReplyNotificationsMuted]

Hi what music did you use in this video I like them

[@liemkui8730]

How long have you been play the game?

[@fleks4187]

Hi i love ur content!! Auto subscribed! I also started play honkai, nice to meet you! I hv a question, on the early game, they introduced the type-countering mechanics, like bio psych mech etc., however, from all guides, they've never mentioned this, and instead talk about element. Does that means in the late game, the countering mechanism is not a thing to really consider when fighting mobs? Thank you

[@MoonshineEX]

Hi fleks!! Thank you for the subbu, rly appreciate itttt :D Elements and type-countering are 2 different types! So bio-psych-mech is about type-countering, while there are elemental (ice fire lightning) and physical for these types. For example, Jizo is a BIO-Physical Boss, which means u can only use Physical Valks against him, and out of all physical valks, using a mech type will be the best (since mech counters bio), thus physical-mech valk. Hope this helps~

[@Ark-zy8in]

I’m planning on build my lighting team with hot and fischl I have Eden and her weapon but not her stigmatas I am rly close to getting fr and I have her weapon and no stigmas as well So which one should I focus on for my lightning team And if so which stigmas should I use for them temporarily

[@squirclequir1800]

I would rather let u have eden. Her fragments are farmable and one of the decent lightning and dmg dealer too (her stigmata is op for support sp and dmg lightning tb) FR is good with her weapon along the way. And her fullset (from the bp shop) but most recommended her to be at least SS or SS2. Eden is f2p friendly and farmable stigmatas (also the free box too) while FR is also f2p but takes time to truly SS her and stigmata only available this patch and next patch on the BP shop. But she can use handel stigmata set too. Any both honestly. The eden stigmata is very good

[@Ark-zy8in]

@@squirclequir1800 oh I see Thx a lot

[@MoonshineEX]

Ayee ark!! First priority would be to get Eden's stig, as its new and F2P~ The stig is also pretty good for lightning ele support so yes!! Between Fischl and FR, if both are ungeared, then I'd go with FR cuz u alr have her weap~ See which stig (FR or Fischl's stigs) you can get first, then work towards that!

[@Ark-zy8in]

@@MoonshineEX thx!

[@nemubenzene9138]

As someone who has SS1 full FR, S full Eden and SS Fischl Turgenev with her weapon... I use FR as DPS and it works, lol. I do indeed have HoT full geared but she's just weak compared to my FR and idk why.

Bruh done that whatever

[@cyrilduman9295]

Hey what's ur recommendation for elemental valkyries for f2p player ?I'm thinking making elemental team after making my physical team

[@isazainal778]

Depends what do you have on your account, what do you have at the moment then you start that element first and slowly build up then build your supports slowly

[@MoonshineEX]

Right off the bat I'd say to invest in universal ele support valks such as Bronie (AE if you have), and gears such as JST and AE that are currently forgeable! Turg full set is a good ele support stig to gacha for if you're up for it~

[@MoonshineEX]

Agreed!!

[@richardolim1450]

I just played the game and currently at lvl 49. I'm a little bit confused when to start farming stigmata material cuz universal mirage is still too hard for me and is HoS's weapon a must for her?

Yeaaa universal mirage can be a challange esp in the higher floors~ HoS gloves is pretty good, but for now u can use nebulous duality (or any glove) if you have it!

[@j.e.t9361]

Hey I just got HoF and Im only a week playing. Should I pull for her weapon? My Lineup are HoF, Phoenix, and Yae Sakura for Fire ele because I don't have Rondo

[@themusicheart167]

Still want to know of I should tunnel vision hof or put it all into the beginner banner because I know both valks are a must have.

[@godfii]

Completely depends on what type of team you want to make! HOF is a fire DPS and is the best at that atm, while HOS is a physical support that enables physical DPS valks to do massive damage. In terms of both of them being must haves like you described, I’d say HOS is definitely much more of a must have than HOF, simply due to the fact that she’s a support and is practically necessary for physical teams to do any meaningful damage, while a fire team can still do good damage with a different dps that isn’t HOF.

[@godfii]

I think I should also point out that HOF’s year is almost over, as we’re getting a new Herrscher sometime between July-August so the meta could change a lot in like 6 months 👍

[@MoonshineEX]

YEAA 100% agree~ HoS is has higher utility than HoFS, tho HoFS has her unique coverage as well! In the long run, both may be phased out (Spina as a cheaper alternative, and new Phy SP support valks coming), but I believe HoS has higher longevity XD

[@Kkaran8404]

Little question... I want to create a fire team for elemental damage. I already have a physical one but a backup team is good. First of all i have midnight absinthe, second i have sakuno rondo, fu hua(the phoenix one), and flame sakitama. As much as I understand midnght absinthe is a must even tho i have her a ranked, the choice is who should be the main damage dealer in the team, i tried fu hua but her attacks are easily interrupted by enemy and i feel like she doesn't do enough damage. Sakuno feels better to control and does more damage in my opinion. Haven't tried out sakitama yet. Any recommendations?

[@MoonshineEX]

Hellu! With ur current valks, all of them are fire support valks except flame sakitama! So for now FS is the best option for DPS, but eventually u may want to get Spina or HOFS as the main fire DPS!

[@Kkaran8404]
