She helped me beat march 7th's character ascension boss where you want aoe fire to get rid of enemies before the boss consumes them to power up and do massive damage.
She's a good character but buffing a single character is generally just stronger than party wide buffs in this game. Also any fire character has to be insane at something to compete with fire trailblazer, especially if you get the taunt-burn light cone.

I'm surprised Asta isn't on the list. Her damage buff from her passive is pretty insane since it can hit 5 stacks with her E, and I strongly feel that Asta is going to be future proofed since we might be able to speed cheese by promoting an entire team's action prio with the party-wide buff. Plus her E has insane break value in single target. But... this might be a situation where we need eidolons to make her comfy, since a lot of her eidolons affect her buff uptime.

This is just an IMO but to say the least tingyun is great but if u get bronya early, prioritize her. Aside from her buffing capabilities what makes her truly strong is her turn count manipulation, letting a character go twice in single rotation is quite strong not only on a damage perspective but on an energy recharge perspective. Also, it can even be used for survivability (immediate march shield/Natasha heal) provided u manage ur skill points properly. What people need to know is that at the heart of it, star rail is a turn based system and the ability to let your unit go first (again) is incredibly invaluable. Tl;dr Tingyun is great (especially as a buffer for 2nd abyss team) but if u have bronya, prioritize her

Ngl if u happen to have Tingyun and susheng, u pretty much already got the 5* character experience. They only slightly weaker than Bronya + Seele broken combo
@@sorakey4005 I have Tingyun, and she is amazing. I don't have Susheng. I think I have 10 more pulls to get 5 stars. I am just collecting the tickets. Thanks for the info.
i don't know if it is just me but it's the very first time i ever see you're face and i like it, i like to watch your vids on abyss and characters and found it nice that we can finally see one of the best person on the planet :)
Honestly, as of lvl 40 i really like Herta and Sampo. I heard that Herta is one of the worst characters but her additional dmg helps a lot with both weakness and clearing adds. Sampo is dot dmg dealer and right now raw dmg is more valuable (i guess). Still deals passive 1k+ dmg every time enemy takes turn (doesn't matter who) and i think it's really good dmg for current lvl, also his skill is good at breaking wind weak enemies.
Love catching these videos AFTER I just dumped all my resources 😅. Jk great vid always appreciated. Might end up a Pela main while i wait to pull Welt.
I think for now in Honkai Star Rail there are no characters that can be said to be really good, because different enemies have different teams to fight against, especially for main damage. and the choice of characters that can be used for a turn base game is not much. I haven't had time to play too far, but what I feel right now is that for damage dealers we depend on the enemy we will face, but for support we can still use the same char with a different type of enemy, even though in some conditions it will be not very effective. for example one healer (natasha/bailu) plus one support from March 7, can make your team's survivability increase, but sometimes killing enemies will take too long. Well, I don't think there are any bad characters at the moment because there aren't many choices, just adjust them to the team you have
It's really hard "to settle" on 1 team comb in this type of game. Cause you want to make sure you can utilize the break mechanic fully I personally always try to at least have 2 elements that break the elite enemy type
Sampo's automatically cracked because he has a bounce skill. So like Welt and Asta, he's insane at breaking. But wind seems like an underrepresented weakness so far, which makes him less useful until more wind weak bossed appear.
This is a great guide and what I've been looking for thank you!! Could you do one on the 3 star light cones and one on what 4 star light cones are worth investing in?
My team that carried me to Level 30 is Serval, Clara, Pela and Natasha (Occassional Asta too), I just got Seele so I hope I can get Bronya or Tingyun! Healers and Buffers are how I play RPGs. Also why I've always believed in Kokomi and Kazuha even Dehya. Sustainability and strat is more important especially if youre f2p like me
Asta + pela + natasha + flex dps Thats my current go to and they havent failed me so far. Sometimes in single target i would switch asta for march 7 since enemy would often target 1 character and hit really hard :')
In my opinion all 4 stars have diff function, so i tend to swap them depend on siruation so there is not bad character just who is best in certain situation
One thing with Natasha is she is one of the few characters with cleanse (on her talent after upgrade) which Bailu lacks, so for some bosses (hello, world 5 Kafka) she is very useful (ispecially if you don't have Bronya).
11 месяцев назад
I think in 1.1 Natasha is not too good, but times passes by 1.2 and forward Bailu loses the power for Huo Huo, Natasha, Lynx and Luocha Cleanse is a must!
yeah, really missing Asta here. she is a extremly hard boss fire breaker and the buffs she gives are awesome. Pela, Seele, Natasha and Asta together are just insane
Used lv 50 fire mc, march, dan heng, and natasha to complete world 5 simulated universe twice with the freeze strat :3 I have seele but I'm rly happy with how well the free characters perform
also i have the same team (but bailu instead of natasha) but i feel like 3 supports and 1 dps is kind of an overkill especially because fire mc has a similar role as march's in the team. dont you also feel like there needs to be another dps besides danheng? he is great but hes very single target
@@lavender9658 mostly the blessings from remembrance path, and make use of march + path resonance to freeze enemies including bosses for most of the turns for second point, fire mc taunt + march shield basically moves most of the damage to fire mc who is the tankiest in that team. I use dan heng bcs the boss is weak to wind, phys, and imaginary. :) natasha is still needed as failsafe because boss can 2-3 shots you, and you need tons of cleanse in that fight
As far as future proof, I've found that in hoyoverse games 4 star dps' will get powercrept very easily, but four star supports can stay in the meta for a very long time

A measure to heard of, Follow up attacks gimmick is not DPS, and yes Sub DPS
I miss everything because not only because you have the most calm voice in the world but also now with your camera, I am watching you instead of the video :D Keep up the great work IWTL
Am I the only one who likes Physical Trailblazer? Mine SMACKS. I have Gepard who is OP too so I don't need the fireblazer. I've tried him a few times, maybe later he is better. But my E5 Phys vs E0 Fire... no brainer
I think the game is balanced around Ice being pretty tough to break. So, having Gepard makes the hardest content WAY easier, and gives u an invincible cheat code for everything else
Pela's skill can remove revive from a certain enemy in 2nd world, reducing damage boost of mini-boss is still a great thing. Kind of odd Asta isn't here, she is a great fire breaker, and the first 2 boss she is good at carrying the shield breaking, if multi-hit spread out it still provide a better damage boost. Also Natasha with upgrade can remove a debuff with skill, can be a real deal later, since *a certain* enemy I encountered today has an ability to take over your character and make them fight against you for around 2 turns.
thanks for the video, man! I really like the game, but I'm kinda struggling to come on top... did get a handful of characters but only one 5 star (Yanqing) I'm subscribing, liking and following you from now on in order to learn... keep it up!
I was fortunate enough to get Tingyun as my first 4 star from the banners, i still have no clue how to play this game since it's new but judging from what everyone's saying about her i feel fortunate to have her so early in the game
See, this is why I should watch these things before building characters. I have Serval at level 1, Asta level 10. I'm a level 8 trailblazer if I am saying that right(basically my AR in Genshin language haha) so it's not too late to do things better. Saw Asta is a good character too though, so I'll try to balance in the building them. hehe Lol this is so useful, thank you 😭
I’m starting to think I’ll need to invest in a couple shield breakers, for example have a hunt main, and then swappable shield breakers like asta, sampo, and then fill in the rest with healer and tank.
Asta also worth mentioning imo. Yeah, her value drops when you're not facing fire weak enemies but so does Serval's. I'd personally rank her between Serval and Natasha on the list.
Great content as usual, I am still confused about the weapons and relics i guess its just different names, it would be good to get a guide on optimal f2p and p2w builds
My OP team, ive never struggled with is. Gepard, Phys Trail, Ting, Asta. (I have E2 Natasha, and have never needed her yet. (Ting ER + Gepard = infinte sheilds)
Build your supports first!! Pela, Asta, Natasha are good units especially natasha if you dont have a healer just put hp relics on her and she's good to go
Very helpful. I have 6 built characters so far, so I was thinking about who to go for next, since I want to try the two part levels of the forgotten halls. And since I'm getting Jing Yuan, I decided to built Tingyun just to see how good she was, and let's just say I finished world 6 easily.
honestly pela is incredibly good her def shred is no joke and debuff capabilities are just great if you're lucky enough to get her E4, she becomes even more viable as a support for yanqing or any ice dps really (it reduces ice res by 15%, it goes a long way)
Asta with 4 star Dance Dance Dance lightcone gives you action bar push on her ultimate as well as a speed boost, followed by an attack buff due to her talent. Together with high energy recharge, she seems to be really OP. Her E4 also gives her more energy rate which means she might be able to keep using her ultimate constantly!
I nostly agree and only disagree with the number 2 slot as trailblazer is considered a 5 star character. I think Asta would be more fitting as she provides hell of speed and attack buff, also she breaks fire weakness efficiently. But at the end of the day, it's always better to build the best for your team. Good recommendations anyway
one thing i want to mention is e6 serval will out perform jing yuan. the reason is jing yuans big dps comes form his passive talent servel at e6 will have mental dps on all her stuff and can out perform him. so if you have e6 forget the general unless you like his looks and in simulated univeres following the elation path with himeko and kuru kuru bot. (i love this team btw) anyway i love my rockstar girl :) (and general boy is hot)
I agree with s of your choices, but I would have put Lynx instead of Natasha. Also, I would have included Qingque and Asta, but this is only my opinion.
Den Hang, it would be great for you to build if you have a welt, you can combine it with Welt, Den Hang, Asta. This team is very good if you fight single enemy. but if it's against many enemies it's less effective, if it's March 7 (without a healer) it can make the enemy not get a turn at all even though it's a bit tricky. Den Hang is also good if you use the Champion of Streetwise Boxing relic (4 Sets), (for early game, if mid or late you don't know, have never experimented) because Den hang's skill has 4x hits and because of this skill I think Den Hang is more it's good to use Shusang's cone instead of his own
I didn't need shield after getting bailu too early so my march 7th was left at lv20.. same for dan heng since I don't appreciate single target chara tbh😅 so i have sampo in exchange.. didn't regret it
Sadly I was so unlucky with pulls... Got Himeko on 50th pull on starting banner. And right now have 25 pulls on standard and limited with no other 5star and 4stars were dupes of free characters + few weapons... I really wanted Bronya, or fox girl.....
I like Asta actually, her skill stacks breaks on bosses and her ult provides wind res pen for my Dan Heng. But I heard we get fire!MC next so i understand why people aren't recommending her
Well i got tingyun lol. And i had made account the first day but only got to play yesterday. I pulled 20 pullls on beginner banner equivalent of honkai and got 3 stars. 1 a weapon 1 other character and 1 tingyun
Can you do a video about the light cones at the battle pass.... I'm really leaning towards the harmony one (the the with the fox lady on the cover) for support reasons :3
Everyone says March7 is great with Clara, but my first 5* is Clara and after playing for some time, i completely abandon March7 and keep Natasha instead. If you DONT cast Shield on Clara, enemies will most of the time keep atacking March7 instead of Clara. So every turn u should cast her skill, which most of the time push you into not using Skill with Clara, so Clara generates less energy and cast her Ultimate less times, so makes her less aggro. Also March7 is not nearly enought to finish World 3 before lvl30, because u take A LOT of damage there. If u build her to DEF, her damage contribution is very low, so u just wasting skill points, and if u use her with natasha and build ATK, shield fall off pretty fast, so it is still useless. So if u get Clara, dont use March 7 actually. Natasha is far far more useful.
@@andywilson4789 but when you forced to use Natasha, if u switch March7 to any other character, the team will improve its damage signigicantly. So... no real reason to have March7 in Clara team.
@@ST1mAPB Clara does an insane amount of damage with counters anyways with march 7th shield so damage is already good, and she will never die, and it allows march 7th to attack 3-5 times a turn in counters also.
@@andywilson4789 my point is that March7 isn't helping Clara to deal her damage. You can have another buffer for her or DD in the team and she will still make her damage (and even more without sacrifising SkillPoint for March7's shield)
great video as always IWTL! i have a question: i do have bronya, if i build tingyun is it a waste of resources? should i build her? also, i don’t like dan heng but he is the only dps i have right now (leveled up). should i try to invest on arlan or maybe other dps? (i don’t have sushang unfortunately 😭) i have qingque, i leveled her up cause i really liked her abilities, is she a dps?
Tingyun was on my to-get list the moment I saw her and I'm so glad she's actually worth building :D She's the first 4* I got on the gacha! (Excluding Asta who everyone gets lol)
I had 8 basic summons and I knowwww you shouldn't spent primos on the standard banner but I just hate having 8 lol so I bought 2 tickets and got Tingyun. Just started yesterday so I didn't know how good she was. Looking at her kit I was like hold on...this is ...really good. But after looking at vids she's REALLY good. GGs
Also guys btw the fire trailblazer is this strong without the free eidolons, so just wait till they have access to them for an even stronger trailblazer

Cool I got Tingyun I'm using her, she is very strong. I still have not gotten a 5 star yet. I just got to level 11. I'm enjoying the game. Your videos are so helpful.
Ngl if u happen to have Tingyun and susheng, u pretty much already got the 5* character experience. They only slightly weaker than Bronya + Seele broken combo
@@sorakey4005 I have Tingyun, and she is amazing. I don't have Susheng. I think I have 10 more pulls to get 5 stars. I am just collecting the tickets. Thanks for the info.
@@sorakey4005 damn, for real? I just built Dan Heng cause I didn't bother to read Sushang's kit 💀 I got her and Tingyun at C1.
@@iFutsunushi Dan Heng is awesome though. He has my favorite ult so far. Looks freakin awesome.
So glad to see Dan Heng being mentioned, he’s my favourite character in the game
if invest correctly Dan Heng is good single target dps...my Dan Heng just reached 2k dmg with just 3-4 star relics and lvl 2 ultimate
This reality...IS BUTTER VISION! 😂
I saw a dps chart, although i dont know the circumstances, Dan e0 hits super hard in single target situations like 4 star wind version of seele.
I have in on my team but he's definitely super frail
Natasha often has to heal him,plus my yanqing does better as an ice single hit dps
@@Crusader050 “past victories don’t guarantee future ones” 😤
Sampo and Asta are both great as well. Sampo + other DoT effects can deal very significant damage over a few turns.
i don't know if it is just me but it's the very first time i ever see you're face and i like it, i like to watch your vids on abyss and characters and found it nice that we can finally see one of the best person on the planet :)
Honestly, as of lvl 40 i really like Herta and Sampo. I heard that Herta is one of the worst characters but her additional dmg helps a lot with both weakness and clearing adds. Sampo is dot dmg dealer and right now raw dmg is more valuable (i guess). Still deals passive 1k+ dmg every time enemy takes turn (doesn't matter who) and i think it's really good dmg for current lvl, also his skill is good at breaking wind weak enemies.
herta is bad ?? her follow up attack is so helpful
i always use herta and she's pretty good (i use her with my himeko so it's a powerful combo)
oh, and she's also my favorite character.
herta is a permanent on my team. i love her follow up, it’s great damage wise and break. she’s also my fav
Hertas follow up attack works really well with himekos. It's always fun to see them both deal the last blow
sampo is disgusting. Sampo - Serval - Gepard - Natasha. Unkillable turtle-team
Love catching these videos AFTER I just dumped all my resources 😅.
Jk great vid always appreciated. Might end up a Pela main while i wait to pull Welt.
I think for now in Honkai Star Rail there are no characters that can be said to be really good, because different enemies have different teams to fight against, especially for main damage.
and the choice of characters that can be used for a turn base game is not much. I haven't had time to play too far, but what I feel right now is that for damage dealers we depend on the enemy we will face, but for support we can still use the same char with a different type of enemy, even though in some conditions it will be not very effective. for example one healer (natasha/bailu) plus one support from March 7, can make your team's survivability increase, but sometimes killing enemies will take too long.
Well, I don't think there are any bad characters at the moment because there aren't many choices, just adjust them to the team you have
It's really hard "to settle" on 1 team comb in this type of game. Cause you want to make sure you can utilize the break mechanic fully
I personally always try to at least have 2 elements that break the elite enemy type
Tbh I feel like Sampo has a lot of potential, he’ll get stronger as more dot characters are released
Sampo's automatically cracked because he has a bounce skill.
So like Welt and Asta, he's insane at breaking.
But wind seems like an underrepresented weakness so far, which makes him less useful until more wind weak bossed appear.
True. Sampo, Hook, Serval, Natasha team is so good rn.
This is a great guide and what I've been looking for thank you!! Could you do one on the 3 star light cones and one on what 4 star light cones are worth investing in?
My team that carried me to Level 30 is Serval, Clara, Pela and Natasha (Occassional Asta too), I just got Seele so I hope I can get Bronya or Tingyun! Healers and Buffers are how I play RPGs. Also why I've always believed in Kokomi and Kazuha even Dehya. Sustainability and strat is more important especially if youre f2p like me
Asta + pela + natasha + flex dps
Thats my current go to and they havent failed me so far. Sometimes in single target i would switch asta for march 7 since enemy would often target 1 character and hit really hard :')
Im happy i got Sushang. She is a beast. She can do 3 attack after eachother. Atk-ult-atk
In my opinion all 4 stars have diff function, so i tend to swap them depend on siruation so there is not bad character just who is best in certain situation
We don't get enough resources to build everyone though. Have to mainly focus on one team then a 2nd team once you start progressing through the level.
One thing with Natasha is she is one of the few characters with cleanse (on her talent after upgrade) which Bailu lacks, so for some bosses (hello, world 5 Kafka) she is very useful (ispecially if you don't have Bronya).
I think in 1.1 Natasha is not too good, but times passes by 1.2 and forward Bailu loses the power for Huo Huo, Natasha, Lynx and Luocha
Cleanse is a must!
yeah, really missing Asta here. she is a extremly hard boss fire breaker and the buffs she gives are awesome. Pela, Seele, Natasha and Asta together are just insane
Used lv 50 fire mc, march, dan heng, and natasha to complete world 5 simulated universe twice with the freeze strat :3 I have seele but I'm rly happy with how well the free characters perform
what freeze strat?
also i have the same team (but bailu instead of natasha) but i feel like 3 supports and 1 dps is kind of an overkill especially because fire mc has a similar role as march's in the team. dont you also feel like there needs to be another dps besides danheng? he is great but hes very single target
@@lavender9658 Thats the idea no? 1 hypercarry and a lot of sustain for the carry to survive and output consistent damage
@@lavender9658 march in freeze strat is kinda essential, she break ice shield so fast with her passive and have perfect AoE ult for freeze all.
@@lavender9658 mostly the blessings from remembrance path, and make use of march + path resonance to freeze enemies including bosses for most of the turns
for second point, fire mc taunt + march shield basically moves most of the damage to fire mc who is the tankiest in that team. I use dan heng bcs the boss is weak to wind, phys, and imaginary. :) natasha is still needed as failsafe because boss can 2-3 shots you, and you need tons of cleanse in that fight
As far as future proof, I've found that in hoyoverse games 4 star dps' will get powercrept very easily, but four star supports can stay in the meta for a very long time
A measure to heard of, Follow up attacks gimmick is not DPS, and yes Sub DPS
Thank you so much TwT I have been confusing which character to build
LOL!
I got Tingyun and Serval in my very first 10x roll.
Nice start :)
I miss everything because not only because you have the most calm voice in the world but also now with your camera, I am watching you instead of the video :D Keep up the great work IWTL
Am I the only one who likes Physical Trailblazer? Mine SMACKS. I have Gepard who is OP too so I don't need the fireblazer. I've tried him a few times, maybe later he is better. But my E5 Phys vs E0 Fire... no brainer
Still using Physical trail blazer because she and Dan are my only DPSs at the moment.
How u guy get fire mc? Why's mine is physical
In later simulated world fire mc isna must tbh, enemies hits super hard every single turn
@@xaviaxocola2197 play story
I think the game is balanced around Ice being pretty tough to break. So, having Gepard makes the hardest content WAY easier, and gives u an invincible cheat code for everything else
Great breakdown on the 4 stars. I hope you do the current 5 stars next!
Pela's skill can remove revive from a certain enemy in 2nd world, reducing damage boost of mini-boss is still a great thing.
Kind of odd Asta isn't here, she is a great fire breaker, and the first 2 boss she is good at carrying the shield breaking, if multi-hit spread out it still provide a better damage boost.
Also Natasha with upgrade can remove a debuff with skill, can be a real deal later, since *a certain* enemy I encountered today has an ability to take over your character and make them fight against you for around 2 turns.
thanks for the video, man! I really like the game, but I'm kinda struggling to come on top... did get a handful of characters but only one 5 star (Yanqing)
I'm subscribing, liking and following you from now on in order to learn... keep it up!
I was fortunate enough to get Tingyun as my first 4 star from the banners, i still have no clue how to play this game since it's new but judging from what everyone's saying about her i feel fortunate to have her so early in the game
I love your videos across all the contents. Keep up the great work.
just started playing and i can't stop playing this game for straight 7h now lol
Just found your channel and easy subscribe, great content!
See, this is why I should watch these things before building characters. I have Serval at level 1, Asta level 10. I'm a level 8 trailblazer if I am saying that right(basically my AR in Genshin language haha) so it's not too late to do things better. Saw Asta is a good character too though, so I'll try to balance in the building them. hehe
Lol this is so useful, thank you 😭
Thx for the video and guide in it!
I’m starting to think I’ll need to invest in a couple shield breakers, for example have a hunt main, and then swappable shield breakers like asta, sampo, and then fill in the rest with healer and tank.
Asta also worth mentioning imo. Yeah, her value drops when you're not facing fire weak enemies but so does Serval's.
I'd personally rank her between Serval and Natasha on the list.
commeting for the algorithm because your videos are good, but the game is very fun so far!
Great content as usual, I am still confused about the weapons and relics i guess its just different names, it would be good to get a guide on optimal f2p and p2w builds
My OP team, ive never struggled with is. Gepard, Phys Trail, Ting, Asta. (I have E2 Natasha, and have never needed her yet. (Ting ER + Gepard = infinte sheilds)
Build your supports first!! Pela, Asta, Natasha are good units especially natasha if you dont have a healer just put hp relics on her and she's good to go
Very helpful. I have 6 built characters so far, so I was thinking about who to go for next, since I want to try the two part levels of the forgotten halls. And since I'm getting Jing Yuan, I decided to built Tingyun just to see how good she was, and let's just say I finished world 6 easily.
honestly pela is incredibly good
her def shred is no joke and debuff capabilities are just great
if you're lucky enough to get her E4, she becomes even more viable as a support for yanqing or any ice dps really (it reduces ice res by 15%, it goes a long way)
Asta with 4 star Dance Dance Dance lightcone gives you action bar push on her ultimate as well as a speed boost, followed by an attack buff due to her talent. Together with high energy recharge, she seems to be really OP. Her E4 also gives her more energy rate which means she might be able to keep using her ultimate constantly!
Asta should've on the list, she gives atk buff, speed buff, shield breaching(fire) plus chorus light cones basically mona with TTDS lol
i'm surprised that asta and herta are not included, both of them are in my party helped me clear everything.
their aoe is amazing
For me Herta is the best 4 stars Cryo DPS Aoe 😌👍
Especially if you're in the team with Himeko, Herta that's will be very good aoe team
TFW you don't have Tingyun and Shushang
EDIT : 2mn later I got Shushang from standard banner with a free roll, that's nice
I nostly agree and only disagree with the number 2 slot as trailblazer is considered a 5 star character. I think Asta would be more fitting as she provides hell of speed and attack buff, also she breaks fire weakness efficiently. But at the end of the day, it's always better to build the best for your team. Good recommendations anyway
one thing i want to mention is e6 serval will out perform jing yuan. the reason is jing yuans big dps comes form his passive talent servel at e6 will have mental dps on all her stuff and can out perform him. so if you have e6 forget the general unless you like his looks and in simulated univeres following the elation path with himeko and kuru kuru bot. (i love this team btw) anyway i love my rockstar girl :) (and general boy is hot)
In reverse order from the video:
1. Tingyun
2. Fire trailblazer
3. Sushang
4. Dan Heng
5. Pela
6. March 7
7. Natasha
8. Serval
How come fire trailblazer. Y mine is physical
@@xaviaxocola2197 You unlock the fire trailblazer further into the story
March is just amazing. I want her eidolons so bad. Also Natasha's e6 is incredible.
Sampo is also great with Serval, great aoe wind damage too
never doubt building Dan Heng. on World 5 I have to replace my Seele for Dan Heng because element shieldbreak is better than brute force killing boss
I agree with s of your choices, but I would have put Lynx instead of Natasha. Also, I would have included Qingque and Asta, but this is only my opinion.
thank you for this after i lost the chance at homeko i just been so sad and no idea who to use outside of fire MC
Im sickened and saddened that my Herta isnt on the list, now I am depressed.
Honestly both path of trailblazer are really good. You get their eidolons easily
Den Hang, it would be great for you to build if you have a welt, you can combine it with Welt, Den Hang, Asta. This team is very good if you fight single enemy. but if it's against many enemies it's less effective, if it's March 7 (without a healer) it can make the enemy not get a turn at all even though it's a bit tricky. Den Hang is also good if you use the Champion of Streetwise Boxing relic (4 Sets), (for early game, if mid or late you don't know, have never experimented) because Den hang's skill has 4x hits and because of this skill I think Den Hang is more it's good to use Shusang's cone instead of his own
Sushang's cone is so strong its kinda crazy lol
What is name of the background song play in TingYun 's section? It is so nice. Tks for great content as well.
I didn't need shield after getting bailu too early so my march 7th was left at lv20.. same for dan heng since I don't appreciate single target chara tbh😅 so i have sampo in exchange.. didn't regret it
Sadly I was so unlucky with pulls... Got Himeko on 50th pull on starting banner. And right now have 25 pulls on standard and limited with no other 5star and 4stars were dupes of free characters + few weapons...
I really wanted Bronya, or fox girl.....
Aww, I've already raised my Bailu and March to push through the story
I like Asta actually, her skill stacks breaks on bosses and her ult provides wind res pen for my Dan Heng. But I heard we get fire!MC next so i understand why people aren't recommending her
Same with Sampo and Welt. "Bounce" type skills are insane at breaking bars.
Face cam doing introduction while looking at script! Lets go!
Asta should be on this list. She's great, perhaps one of the best for f2p.
IWTL: "bad single target dps"
Me: "That's what The Hunt path characters are for"
Well i got tingyun lol. And i had made account the first day but only got to play yesterday. I pulled 20 pullls on beginner banner equivalent of honkai and got 3 stars. 1 a weapon 1 other character and 1 tingyun
Can you do a video about the light cones at the battle pass.... I'm really leaning towards the harmony one (the the with the fox lady on the cover) for support reasons :3
Asta increases damaged from her skill and increases speed with her ult, I use her in almost every team comp because of how she's able to help my team.
Everyone says March7 is great with Clara, but my first 5* is Clara and after playing for some time, i completely abandon March7 and keep Natasha instead.
If you DONT cast Shield on Clara, enemies will most of the time keep atacking March7 instead of Clara. So every turn u should cast her skill, which most of the time push you into not using Skill with Clara, so Clara generates less energy and cast her Ultimate less times, so makes her less aggro. Also March7 is not nearly enought to finish World 3 before lvl30, because u take A LOT of damage there. If u build her to DEF, her damage contribution is very low, so u just wasting skill points, and if u use her with natasha and build ATK, shield fall off pretty fast, so it is still useless.
So if u get Clara, dont use March 7 actually. Natasha is far far more useful.
exactly!! i use natasha now with clara. so much easier and no much worrying about health!
People who say that usually use March 7th and Natasha, which is very strong but you do need Natasha.
@@andywilson4789 but when you forced to use Natasha, if u switch March7 to any other character, the team will improve its damage signigicantly. So... no real reason to have March7 in Clara team.
@@ST1mAPB Clara does an insane amount of damage with counters anyways with march 7th shield so damage is already good, and she will never die, and it allows march 7th to attack 3-5 times a turn in counters also.
@@andywilson4789 my point is that March7 isn't helping Clara to deal her damage. You can have another buffer for her or DD in the team and she will still make her damage (and even more without sacrifising SkillPoint for March7's shield)
So basically build 1, Tingyun, 2 Fire MC, 3 Sushang, 4 lunar Dan Heng, 5 Pela, 6 March 7th (+Clara), 7 Natasha, 8 Serval.
great video as always IWTL! i have a question: i do have bronya, if i build tingyun is it a waste of resources? should i build her?
also, i don’t like dan heng but he is the only dps i have right now (leveled up). should i try to invest on arlan or maybe other dps? (i don’t have sushang unfortunately 😭) i have qingque, i leveled her up cause i really liked her abilities, is she a dps?
so basically these are the characters
serval
Natasha
march 7
pela
Dan heng
sushang
fire trailblazer
tingyun
My child hook didnt make it on the list 😔 i think she is great single target pyro dps, yall should consider building her 😁
these guides are ridiculous. there's literally like 8 4* characters you can build, what's even the point
Tingyun was on my to-get list the moment I saw her and I'm so glad she's actually worth building :D She's the first 4* I got on the gacha! (Excluding Asta who everyone gets lol)
Looking forward to building Pela and Tingyun next
tingyun as number 1
i knew it, you are a man of culture
I had 8 basic summons and I knowwww you shouldn't spent primos on the standard banner but I just hate having 8 lol so I bought 2 tickets and got Tingyun. Just started yesterday so I didn't know how good she was. Looking at her kit I was like hold on...this is
...really good. But after looking at vids she's REALLY good. GGs
Also guys btw the fire trailblazer is this strong without the free eidolons, so just wait till they have access to them for an even stronger trailblazer
sry I just to curious. When will we get Fire Trailblazers?
@@arviedark2881last mission of the belobog arc (after trailblazer lv 24 quest )
we already have access to it on a shop
@@deltaspecies1697 ok tysm now I just need to grind those sweet exp 🏃💨
Currently building hook as a main dps and shes actually not that bad
Hook is Klee counterpart.
Because Hook are from dps path..
I’ve had that feeling to raise Sampo since I have Welt but Heng benefits too lol
