Which planet has the best team in Honkai Star Rail?

[@darkdude1996ify]

For the Jarilo team, Lynx is a definite upgrade over Gepard. Gepard draws aggro away from Clara, whereas Lynx does the opposite

[@arcogames3434]

For the Jarilo VI Clara team Pela should also be an upgrade since the dmg buff from Bronya's Skill only lasts for one turn (if E0/ not E6) and would therefore not help Clara's follow-up and Numby while Pela's def shred would boost the follow-up dmg for both of them

3:05 No, this is actually the second time we meet him when we go to Penacony. Regardless of whether you did his Companion Mission before or after, the dialogue stays the same with the story taking into account that you already met him. The Companion Missions, despite of having freedom to play them whenever you want after unlocking certain requirements, they still take place in speficic points in time and how the stories are framed you can tell which one when happened.

Meanwhile the IPC team was separated into different planets. Even if we exclude Robin, a team consisting of Aventurine, Jade, Topaz and Ratio (who I guess is not really IPC, but he's affiliated with them at least) would've made for a pretty strong team

[@Cpagan722]

@@darkdude1996ify ratio isn’t ipc though. He’s associated with them but he was listed as a cosmic character since he has no true allegiance. The ipc only officially has 3 characters and since that isn’t enough to form a team comp, it’s significantly better to separate them so that they can contribute to other good teams.

[@1cook1e]

Dr. Ratio is from the Intelligentsia Guild, and per the wiki the Guild is an academic institution subsidized by the Interastral Peace Corporation. So he isn't unaffiliated. And Ratio, Topaz, Jade, Aventurine really could be a team on their own. My point is, there was no point of breaking them up.

[@1cook1e]

This is the same way Argenti is a "cosmic character" but we all know he is affiliated with the knights of beauty.

[@Cpagan722]

@@1cook1e yes I fully understand it’s a great team. That doesn’t change the fact that those are ipc officers. Ratio serves a different institution primarily. Not only did the wiki list him as cosmic but that doesn’t change the fact I said by where he first appears in the story since multiple characters fall under that category. Acheron and Argenti would conversely have nowhere to go if we did this in a different way.

[@nyes4596]

Should've been Asta instead of Ratio, no?

[@AevyCh]

Yunli has the most complete team out of all of these in my opinion: Tingyun + Huohuo for energy & sustain Jiaoqiu for Ult Vulnerability (Yunli's Parry counts as Ult damage)

[@TheTaleOfSunAndMoon]

7:35 Pela would do way more support simply because Bronya's buffs are useless in a follow-up team. They only hold one turn so they don't apply to any follow-ups (which is where most of Clara's and Topaz' damage come from). Also, Bronya is single target but we have two damage dealing characters, Pela would buff both

[@duc_huy_ngo]

The problem with Himeko superbreak is that it's inconsistent because it **needs** Fire weak enemies. So I definitely would put Xianzhou Alliance > Herta's Space Station

[@Wolf_In_Inkpuddles]

Honestly Hanya is Fun character to use I usually just give her Dance Dance from Tingyun, It's honestly I good palate cleanser to not use Sparkle, once you play a character too much they get boringly repetitive.

[@Cpagan722]

@@Wolf_In_Inkpuddles fair, hanya always seemed like a fun character but I never had time to build her

[@Wolf_In_Inkpuddles]

@@Cpagan722 Divergent universe is the best way to try different character build ups without dealing with building her up! It's so much fun testing characters I just pulled or characters I haven't build (Misha, Yanqing, Moze) The down side is it's not a great comparison to test if they would do well on end game contents!

[@Natzlie]

For penacony i would actually say that a better team would be Dps: Aregenti Sub-Dps: Jade Support: Robin/Sparkle and then your sustain being Aventurine. I've tried it and jade works suprisingly well with argenti due to his ult up time giving her follow up stacks, and its pretty viable in both MOC or PF. as for the support you could easily switch out robin for sparkle and vice versa, robin if your leaning more into the the follow damge you can get or sparkle for higher argenti dps. i personally like sparke since robin has slight rng for when she hits in her ult, and sparkle makes it so that you dont have to worry to much about balancing stats as hard

[@Cpagan722]

@@Natzlie definitely fair. I was torn on the penacony team for a while on what I wanted to present for it and without being able to test, theory crafting can only get ya so far lol. I think at the time I had seen an Argenti team with that comp performing well in MOC without Jade so I decided to trust the stats I could find some evidence for

[@zestynut]

Argenti should be in every faction because he's Mr Worldwide

[@alaeus2310]

Since Argenti Aven Robin is pretty SP friendly, I would sub in Jade instead of Sparkle. AA is not super important and Jade having Argenti as debt collector woud work pretty well on the follow ups.

[@mrsphealtheseal]

If I hear someone lock Boothill to HMC one more time. . .

[@andrewhaydock5557]

Nah just go Penacony and skip the e2 for Acheron. Go her, Aventurine, Sparkle and Black Swan. You still get pretty good damage. You have easily enough debuff's to get her ult quickly. And even if you do lose some of Acheron's buffs. Your still one of the most broken characters. Just power through.

[@andrewhaydock5557]

My list would go: 1. Xianzhou Luofu -> the team of Fei Xiao, Moze, Lingsha and Jiaoqui is completely broken. Fei Xiao is an ultimate unit that gets buffed from both Moze and Jiaoqui. Then healed by a follow up healer in Lingsha. The team is stacked for moc and doesn't need to worry about element. 2. Penacony -> The team of Acheron, Sparkle/Robin, Black swan and Aventurine is solid. Even though Acheron losses some buffs through not having a second nihility unit, she is still one of the best damage dealers in the game. Getting stacks through both Black swan and Aventurine make it pretty easy to have her ult up. Then the buffers in Penacony are some of the bests. Robin is an all-time powerhouse, and Sparkle is fantastic in the Acheron comp. This team also doesn't have to worry about which element it's fighting 3. Herta Space Station -> Then comes the Himeko super break. I think we all know why this team is good. It has two parts of the break team in HMC and Ruan Mei. The biggest problem I see in this team is that if the enemy is not fire. Then this team is absolute trash as it can't break really at all. Firefly was one of the biggest helps of the Himeko break team unless fighting fire weak enemies. 4. Jarilo-VI -> This one is obvious for one reason. Damage dealers from here are falling behind there are still great team, and I think seela is still one of the strongest units if e6 and built to perfection. But that's not the case. With this in most MOC i would still probably run Clara, Topaz, Pela and Lynx. This way Clara is buffed by topaz and Numby, Lynx can heal Clara and get her targeted more and since Clara is partial aoe. Then aoe def shred is pretty good.

[@Chy_Tajrian]

I agree Acheron's busted even with out the second nahility

[@tRuF0010]

[@itsame7491]

I'd say penacony just because of Robin and sparkle, mei is in space station but its station Yk wht, nvm. Although tht acheron team is still busted AF, like how they hell you gonna do break himeko against enemies without fire weakness. Acheron on the other will just work. Even with single nihility

[@Rennmi]

No clue why Acheron E0 with black swan wasn’t just used it would have preformed fine tbh Also Jiao probably could have worked just fine with Fei over Hanya.

[@markgruner5812]

Feels like this was just a long roundabout video to make it impossible for Penacony to win since they have the 2 strongest teams with just characters introduced in a single arc by far and the most complete teams with just characters from those arcs.

[@Cpagan722]

@@markgruner5812 I really don’t know why people believe I have a penacony grudge when I think it’s the best part of the story and has multiple of my favorite characters of all time. I split characters up by first appearance since many don’t have true homes, it’s as simple as that.

Imo the xianzhou alliance by far wins compared to astral express. Imo you severely downplayed the actual usefulness of Jiaoqiu in almost every single team and gave it to hanya instead?? Jiaoqiu is a universal dmg amplifier and is actually really sp positive in the right scenario. the foxian trifecta of Tingyun, Huohuo, and Jiaoqiu could be used for DHIL, Jing Yuan, and Yunli as an actual valid team. Feixiao, Moze, Jiaoqiu and Lingsha is honestly kinda overkill at that point considering how many teams can be made with the Xianzhou characters.

[@Cpagan722]
