Honkai Star Rail

[Liddo-kun]

fought Phantylia a few days ago.

characters I used:

Bailu level 70
Serval level 70
Qingque level 70
Jing Yuan (trial character) level 78

recommended was level 76, but it's fine using level 70 characters. Just need to have them properly equipped. Trace and light cone levelled properly as well.

got lucky, won it on the first try.
phase 1 and 2 are easy. Third phase is where things heat up (no pun intended).

I know it's not mandatory and the rewards are small but those 5 books will bother me for weeks when I synthesize garbage relics. Though maybe coz I'm already at EQ6 that makes it hard, though I cleared both 4 and 6 in the same EQ. The automaton in the middle of the run is the hard part.

I suggest focusing attacks on the Trotters. So you can loop ultimates. Until get the proper score.

just got the 60k score needed tonight. I used Himeko, Serval. Blade (trial), and Luocha (trial).

Turns out I was wrong. For Rutilant, you must have 70% CR on status screen before any dynamic effect target-based modification for the additional bonus to kick in.

I need to get back to this game.

You're sure that bonus stats from skills and buffs etc don't count for space ornament bonus? If so then swapping my Seele from Space Sealing Station to Rutilant was really good choice. Well, I also gave it to Serval.

My post is edited for a correction. My understanding based on discord search on this topic is that, relic conditionals are not triggered from targeting conditional interactions. Which is what cruising's 2nd passive is based on.

Based on the above screenshot, if you click on the bottom left menu, that will bring up the status screen for your current character. And even when I select the enemy with less than 50% hp, there is no indication of additional crit rate on Seele, so it will not trigger Rutilant or Salsetto if the value on the status screen does not meet the triggering requirement.

So in short, self buffs that show up on your status screen will work, but those that don't won't.

You know in as much as I love Kafka as a character, I still can't get used to the fact that for my ears she tends to sound like a drunk slurring her words.

Awesome use of Vivaldi's Winter from Four Seasons though.

[larethian]

Her VA is sort of alcoholic herself.

[Liddo-kun]

best of luck to those who will pull for her.

hope Kafka goes home to all the wanters.

[MeoTwister5]

Lost my Kafka pity to Welt, so I suppose it's not all bad. Still have guarantee for Fu Xuan to complete the monoquantum team, and have enough left over for Jingliu.

[Liddo-kun]

hmm, I'm curious on the reason you want a mono quantum team. Is it strong?

[MeoTwister5]

It works if you have Silver Wolf to induce quantum weakness on enemies without natural quantum weakness.

Mono quantum allows you to go into battle and just NOT care what the weaknesses of the enmies are. This is sort of a simiplification since the enemy weakness elements is not the only factor (aoe, debuffs, enemy buffs, etc are also factors), but it is true-enough in enough-situations to give you a very reliable "default team", or if we're talking forget-me-hall give you a "I dont know how to deal with this, you guys go and kill it" team, currently:

• Seele, Lynx, QQ, Silverwolf
• (recommended) Seele, Fu Xuan, Silverwolf, QQ
• (not recommended, overkill defense) Seele, Fu Xuan, Silverwolf, Lynx
• (future) Seele, Fu Xuan, Silverwolf, (Quantum AoE/Harmony/etc)

Currently this only applies to Qauntum, since it needs a weakness implanting unit like Silverwolf; I wont be surprised if they dont make another one like her until at least 3-4 years into the game.

Finally, quantum element is very good jack of all trades which enables these teams to be very well rounded: some damage, some slowdown, etc. They also break and breaking ana enemy removes their buffs, interrupts their shit, and so on.

Because of how SW works while you cant get "pure" 100% gurantee teams with other elements you can get pseduo-mono teams, ie. SW + 3 units of same element. This works in varying degrees, but just because you can get 3 units of same element doesnt mean it will make equal sense depending on element.

Granted these pseudo-mono teams are not as "bad" as you might think, since in such teams one of the following will happen:

• Silverwolf rolls quantum on skill, quantum weakness applies for 3 turns and her skill damage is amplified as well as causes break damage
• Silverwolf rolls the element of the 3 other units, hence should avoid using skill and becomes a SP generator.

You're not suffering much either way.

Also to clarify, if you have Silverwolf + 3 other units of same element the chance for quantum is not 25%, it's 50%. If you have say Silverwolf and 2 units of same element + 1 of another element, the chance of any of them hitting is 33%.

[MeoTwister5]

I'm actually going to run SW, Seele, QQ and FX when she comes out. You sort of require SW for that to work, and FX is the only Quantum sustain/healer for now.

[Tenzen12]

Fu Xuan should come with Lynx in same banner so there is that.

FYI, don't wait until the last day to do the current event. Both surface and deep exploration take sometime to complete and might be a bit boring if you try to do all stages at once.

[Liddo-kun]

so busy with the Klee summer event in Genshin. Was finishing it on 3 servers. Only able to start Star Rail after the Klee event ends. lol

anyway, already got plenty of Jades. Enough for Fu Xuan. Because I did not pull at the Luocha and Blade banners. Also not pulling in Kafka banner.

Jingliu drip marketing for 1.4. My next target.
Was hoping for her to be in the 2nd half as the reveal order seems to be the release order, since they showed Blade first before Kafka.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll make sure to start it no later than Friday.

[Liddo-kun]

Underground Travelogue is fun. Feels like I'm playing some sort of Minesweeper game.

the rewards are generous as well. Gonna use the Relic Remains to make a body relic for Tingyun.
