Beside PF, she is always mediocre and still is. She certainly benifit a lot from recent meta, but after this version, her mediocrity will probably become more apparent again. I dont know what kind of drug does VarsII take would make him commont on himiko's strength based on current meta, which is extremely biased toward fire weakness. As he said, himiko's weakness is always too situational and rely too much on fire weakness enermy. No fire weakness=>hard to trigger her passive=>no dmg .The current version of the game is the best she can get and there wont be too much room for her to grow. There is still probability that himeko can do well in the future, depending what character mihoyo wanted to promote over that whole 2.x(something like jingliu in 1.x), I dont think there is a single MoC 12 missing ice weakness after jingliu and before acheron come out. If that character is selected to be FF, then himiko may still have some chance to be good, but I dont think it would as rediculous as current meta anyway since there are they need to promote in each meta.

Im surprised you didnt mention Gallaghers release as a huge buff to himeko, her main issue was that there was no consistant driver for the fire weakness break and then you release gallagher who not only heals your entire party, generates skill points and has a cleanse but also has both insane single target for boss and multitarget for the goons break capabilities. He works so well with her you can throw in any other 2 units with the duo and you clear every single current gamemode.

I’d also thank erudition path coming to SU. It was built around Argenti but she’s so general with a damage split of FUA, skill, ult, break and dot damage, that she benefits from all the ult spam too. Combine erudition and elation path and she destroys anything, and you can combine these for ult/ skill/ FUA spam for toughness breaking in break teams now too, which is helpful for DU favouring break for Firefly. She started as a calyx monster and grew into being a Pure Fiction/ SU/ DU monster who also occasionally goes from being a decent MoC/ AS pick to a brilliant one depending on the matchup. So universal and reliable now. Thank goodness I got her!

You forgot to mention one more thing: Firefly + Himeko is disgusting in Pure Fiction now. Firefly's technique applies fire weakness to every spawning enemy wave and deals an instance of fire damage right away. Against these small enemies, with Ruan Mei that's enough to instantly fire break them, which thus instantly procs Himeko's FuA. You're almost oneshotting waves automatically when they spawn without even taking an action. If you can manage to survive sustainless then Firefly Himeko Herta Ruan Mei is probably the strongest PF team in the game now (otherwise cut out whichever one of them for a sustain).

What relics for himeko too confusing as she both follow up and break
@KuddochanАй бұрын
@@UltimatePollo3495 Should be several options. I use Grand Duke as 4pc and Planars you can probably use any out of Salsotto, Sigonia, Duran, or even Kalpagni Lantern in this particular case. It'll work fine either way with just her regular dps build, don't need to build anything special for break. You get a ton of break effect buffs from HMC and/or Ruan Mei anyway.

Herta makes no sense. HMC is better. Stick Herta to a different DPS, Himeko found her actual partner. She was tired of being compared in PF.

"Himeko and Firefly don't really have any synergy together" the character that can ignore weakness and break often doesn't synergize with the character that wants breaks to happen to trigger their follow-up??? 😭

Here is the thing about Himeko, she was always good just there were better options before due to how the game was focused before but with all of the new characters and Pure Fiction, heck even most of the bosses in MoC spawning in their own allies, just allowing her to be so much better, it just makes her much stronger. Now that Firefly has came out, she can also take advantage of the fact Firefly doesnt need a fire weakness and instead provide her own which also indirectly buffs Himeko.

Do remember this moc buff advances anyone who breaks or kills the trotter. Himeko having benefits with break mechanic, it’s self explanatory. And in 20 days the moc buff benefits FUA, so I think she’ll still be a top usage. Good video btw.

“Himeko and firefly doesn’t have Synergy” Not entirely true but that just happens to be a happy accident that they both are fire

i didnt even know if she was getting good or not, i just kept using her because i needed a fire shield breaker

Since trying her out in belebog's golden calyx through a friend, i've always thought Hineko was one of the most fun characters to play. However, as a standard banner character, I've never been able to realistically pull for her
@SuperKevinho1Ай бұрын
The only reason why I started HSR. I also spent a lot fo jades in the Standard banner to select her after 2 months. Pulled also JingYuan's LC for her. She carried me as main dps, doing overwork and bruteforcing contents when I had only she,Blade and Jingliu as dps. Now that im stronger, I complete ALL the contents with her; "she is good only in PF" is a bullshit. And im not using Superbreak. Himeko Hypercarry is good (if there is at least 1 Fire-weak Elite/Boss). I also pulled Firefly E1 just to being Himeko robopet. Try FF+Himeko in PF, FUA every new waves, so fun. Now I just want some her Eidolons😢

Its simple, once break became more important the way Himekos and her Follow ups work got more relevant.

She's always been strong. I've been using her since I got her in 1.1, I snagged Topaz in 1.4 to further increase her DPS. Pure Fiction came out and I ran her with Herta for a easy 40k clear. HMC comes out with super break and she keeps winning, absolutely adore her, she mommy, pretty, rich and is part of the main cast of the story. Can't get enough of her

Himeko is the 5 star I chose with my 300 standard wish and I never regretted it even before all these buffs. After HI3rd you better believe im making her as strong as I can. I wouldn't say Himeko and FF don't have Synergy, FF has insane breaking abilities and the abilility to implant fire weakness and that naturally benefits Himeko a lot.

Himeko IS my favorite character. I’ve had her since 1.0. Loved her always. She’s always been the best. She has so little people talking about her.
