@Shigurui Congrats on the pulls dude glad at least one of us has excellent luck stats. Clara E1 built right is a beast as she got me through most of the game earlier on, I still haven't tuned her kit just yet but will do eventually. I just got DHIL's LC after 67 pulls so i'm gonna farm jades till sparkle arrives as his sp drain pretty much makes the rest of team useless. I'm still yet to complete the bug invasion in SU and all the stage 3 bosses have imaginary weakness. If only I had Bronya E1 that woulda made a world of difference. In the next banner i'm gonna try for Sparkle her LC and Jingyuan's LC. So annoying they put 3 things I really want at the same time. Gotta find me some monkey paw to lick before they launch lol.

@themightyant I really want to build my Asta but the mat shortage is just too much. Thankfully I have Tingyun and Bronya both at decent builds.

@z0d15g0d - Thanks man, it was a 3 way split between pulling for DHIL, Swan's LC or E1 so I went E1 as it adds the most value being a res debuff for the entire team. I'll likely get E1 Clara for my free pick down the road as I have E1 Bronya and her signature LC on that account already. Congrats on that 67 pull LC! Always nice when you get anything under soft pity.

I saw some random TT clipp about the CCP trying to ban Gacha mechanics in games. Have you heard about this?

Just did my weekly SU run in world 3 Difficulty V using preservation and by the time I got to Lv 90 Gepard final boss my team practically had infinite shields and took 0 dmg. Think I'll try preservation for swarm disaster as I haven't gotten past diff 3 on that.

@z0d15g0d - It went nowhere, the govt minister that proposed it got fired as his announcement for the bill tanked the share prices of HoYo, Tencent etc and lost plenty millions overnight. Money talks.

I pretty much stick with Abundance in SU and always get Anatta formation. Now I'm running Swan/Kafka/Sampo DoT I don't have to take the enemy weakness into account. It really doesn't matter who I'm up against, as long as I keep my team healthy they will kill it.

@Shigurui That sucks, I was hoping they would at least put a cap on how much they charge as £99 for 20 wishes is totally ridiculous (That's practically the cost of 2 AAA games and you cant even guarantee a single banner with that). Need more gov employees to step up lol.
I'm guessing Abundance works better with DoT characters. Preservation seems to work best for my team setups as a few of the blessings also increase crit rate and dmg so my DPS are double or triple the strength they have normally.

@z0d15g0d - Abundance doesn't really do anything for DoT its just a never ending health refill, Anatta formation triggers a full heal every team turn. When I get the formation I then pick Nihility buffs if they appear.

£99 for a 20 pull? Where are you seeing that, the highest jade price is £79 for 40.

@z0d15g0d they already changed HSR to not have dailies on the battle pass, only weeklies, though as we know there are other daily events that get you stellar jade, materials, credits TP exp, etc.

Personally I thought there was some merit to the argument and hoped they would at least stop dailies and stop forcing us to log in at least twice a day by extending the TP limit from 240 to 600 or something. There is no doubt the game, and games like it, are designed to foster addictions, or addictive tendencies imo.

@Shigurui I didn’t know that minister has been sacked. Shame. Capitalism wins again over what is good for kids. I love the game but dont like with how it’s deliberately structured to be addictive

@Shigurui WHAT!! Am I getting scammed? I apologize for the incorrect amount of pulls it's £99.99 for (6480 shards)40 pulls. How is yours only £79?

z0d15g0d

z0d15g0d

@themightyant A TP increase will be extremely welcome. Or at least put in a mode that increases TP. They could even put one of the assignments as TP generation lol.

@z0d15g0d Christ! Is that really what it costs to do 40 Pulls? i've never really looked at it too carefully as I know I won't ever pay that. The most I will do is battle pass and whatever their £5 welkin moon equivalent is.

I finally started Penacony and realised I had 100 wishes / stellar jade left and am at now at 74 pity (I got Misha). I am this close to trying to pull DHIL but am just on the fence. My current thinking is...

I will wait until the end of his banner to see who is coming in the next patch or so. I would prefer Fu Xuan, Jingliu and Luocha to DHIL (or maybe Acheron if she's good) but if they aren't coming soon I can save again.

My concerns are:
1) I will lose the 50/50 again (pain)
2) I don't have many SP positive characters built that synergise with him hence
3) If I get him I will likely want to get Sparkle too, that's all my wishes gone unless I get lucky.
4) I already have Dr Ratio as an Imaginary DPS

Decisions, decisions.

@themightyant Could you check your store also and confirm the price for 40 wishes? It's not cool if they dropped the price for newer players only. I would have checked my alt acc on mobile but forgot what sign in details I used.
Yea DHIL is an SP drain so can only be used fully with teams that don't require much SP. Main reason I'm going for Sparkle and it looks like her kit is similar Bronya's without needing E1. With some speed tuning I 'm hoping I can get DHIL to attack 3-4 times per turn with full charges lol.

@z0d15g0d I checked both iPad and PlayStation which are the two platforms I play on. Some things are cheaper on PlayStation e.g.

  • Battle pass / Nameless glory is £9.99 on iPad but £7.99 on PS store (20% cheaper)
  • Nameless honour (Battle Pass+) is £19.99 on iPad but £16.99 on PS Store (15% cheaper)
  • 6480 Oneric shards (40.5 wishes) is £99.99 on iPad £79.99 on PS Store (20% cheaper)
  • 3280 Oneric shards (20.5 wishes) is £49.99 on both
  • 1980 Oneric shards (12.4 wishes) is £29.99 on iPad £28.99 on PS Store (3.33% cheaper)
  • Express supply pass is £4.99 on both

A quick google suggests this changes country to country and platform to platform but £99.99 is normal price.

It may also explain why I couldn't purchase the battle pass (or was it express supply pass, I forget) from my iPad when I was away, it said to purchase it from the original device (PlayStation) it may not be possible to switch.

UPDATE: Thinking about it I probably wouldn't buy the BP for £10 (£9.99) but would buy it for £7.99, go figure.

Good grief, I thought the PSN prices were high but those iPad prices are just offensive. I learned my lesson with Genshin after I realised I'd spent around 2 grand without even thinking about it. I removed my credit card details and never looked back. Now I buy a £20 PSN card from Amazon each month for the BP and Express Pass and that's my absolute limit.

@themightyant - I'd wait for Jingliu, she adds a tonne of value to any account. Even against enemies without ice weakness she will brute force them to death, has great AoE damage and she's F2P friendly thanks to the Aeon LC from the Herta store.

@Shigurui 2 grand!!! Christ, I know many people do spend big but I just could never spend anything like that on any game. But I guess I spend that on gaming and tech in other ways most years.

And you seem to have bought yourself plenty of luck.

Meanwhile it took to 86 pity and I just… lost the 50:50 and got fecking Yanqing. I’m closer to deleting my account than spending in this moment, I HATE THIS GAME…

… well not really… but I needed to vent, my account is cursed! That’s my third 50:50 loss. I guess I will save and skip Sparkle now and pick up a guaranteed Fu Xuan, Jingliu or Luocha, whoever’s next… or Archeron if she’s good. One step forwards, two steps back

@themightyant - Oh man that sucks, I mean a Bronya would be a win but I feel your Yanqing pain. I lost to him on the Jingliu banner on my alt. As for the Genshin money it was over 2 years, I got curious and went through all my old cc bills and while I'm in a position to afford and not really miss it, enough was enough.
