One thing I've kinda overlooked with Misha is that he might have synergy with IL Dan Heng + Sparkle, due to Danny consuming so much SP which benefits Misha's Ulti, while Sparkle can supply the SP.
Another thing about Misha - he has a chance to freeze on his Ultimate, and it hits multiple targets. He's going to be a great choice for your Rememberance runs in SU, just like March is, but even better, since his Skill is a Blast, so he can contribute to Freeze blessing stacks on 3 targets at once, as opposed to March only being able to ping one enemy a turn. Also he's a damage unit, so he's going to be a lot more useful at the start of the run, when you don't have your Freeze combo blessings yet.

Sparkle is going to shake up the meta in different ways. She’s “bronya” for characters that previously can’t use bronya efficiently due to limitation(DHIL, Jingyuan, etc), and a massive boost to Quantum characters like Seele. If anything this should be interesting. Characters like Jingliu and Yanqing would rather have Bronya instead of Sparkle, with the amount of crit damage and lack of damage percent they have it should be obvious. This should close the gap between the dps characters instead of further boosting Jingliu to the roof. Edit: The yelan to xingqiu, or Kazuha to Venti if you will. She’s going to be powerful, but not going to “powercreep” to the point you have to pull her. Honestly people should pull for E6 Tingyun and Huohuo if their objective is to just 0-cycle.
Already overpowered characters will have their already negligible disadvantages fixed by new unit, while older powercrept units will get absolutely nothing from new lineup, great f job mihoyo

Sparkle is one of the reasons why I've been getting into Honkai: Star Rail. I can tell she's already a really good unit, and I really love her cute design.
@@beardedcat9744not really, from what I saw, her ult is 120 energy. Even with ER rope, it will take 4 skills or basics to get enough energy for an ult, which returns 4 skill points.

@@flipside9608her ult energy is 110. With an ER rope she can always 3 turn ultimate without the use of an energy generating lightcone which is pretty massive.
so you advance the dps with sparkle, goes above bronya, then bronya pushes him again, goes below sparkle and she pushes him again. so unless it helps your kit you can just forget about speed entirely and with the right set sp become irrelevant since you'll always have enough.
@@chelo136 yeah she isn't that much better than bronya for single dps team . Beside for lunae she won't be better for any dps for now . She isn't a must have like black swan is for dot team
Sparkle advances the ally by 50% while bronya is 100%. Also she has a passive that increases the teams dmg (ether dmg bonus or atk) based on how many quantum characters are in the team. It isn't fully useless in normal teams cus it also increases crit rate a little without conditions. Black swan can stack up to 50 arcana stacks (in the beta it used to be 99 lol) A small correction: sparkle passive was changed a little during the betas but the concept is still the same ,you get a small unconditional buff for the team and you get more buffs based on how many quantum characters are in the team. The buff isnt really game changing, it wont make her unusable in other teams ,it will just make her better for mono quantum
I don't have Dan Heng IL or units built that would really benefit from Sparkle so I'm def getting Black Swan to polish my Kafka team, that way I can save for other dps units and 5-star sustains that I really need down the line
Aventurine should be coming soon and he is a preservation unit, so there goes your sustain. If he is anything like Tooaz and Numby (also a IPC faction character) he will be dope.
I use IL DH a lot and I never had skill point issues. I usually ran him with skill point positive units and then it's easy. Luo for healer, Silver Wolf for debuff, Tingyjun for boost. *shrug* His ult essentially gives him 2 skill points so it's not super hard.
@@thomasbrown6332 Dr. Ratio needs a debuffer like Silverwolf or Pela to debuffs enemies in order to maximize his buffs. So you Dr. Ratio + debuffer + harmony + healer/preservation. I don't think Xueyi will be good in Dr. Ratio team.
this patch broke me. I wanna pull for black swan for my kafka, and i wanna pull for sparkle too for my daniel. i can't decide which one to pull for too since i'm waiting for luocha rerun
try your luck for swan. if you fail save for sparkle. shes going to be able to be in way more teams than swan will be. not just saying for the meta. but i find it fun to just put random cahracters to gether to make it work and sparkle is a good unit for that
Id like to state that swan being just a dot unit is a bit of understatement since she has silverwolf /pela ultimate (30-40 smth def shred) on her skill... and aoe 😅 and lets just say her dmg... is smth... like shes more a destruction than a nihility tbh 😂 But hey at least she doesnt implant weaknesses 💀
small correction, but she has def shred on her skill going up to 20% not 30-40% (unlike pela and SW, they both reach 40% def shred) And on her ult its not def shred but dmg taken increase (ennemies take 25% more dmg at max lvl) Its kinda similar, but not exactly
@@yeyo8457 oh ye true. Also quick question, do u know if break effect, crit or elemental dmg affects her arcana dmg? Cause if its not just a windshear dot but skill dmg so im not sure wat to look for in substats
@@AlexN0704 she got a bonus abilities that increase her dmg depending on EHR (based on my dream, that bonus would look like : Increases this unit's DMG by an amount equal to 60% of Effect Hit Rate, up to a maximum DMG increase of 72%.) Then her arcana dmg will depend on her atk and arcana is considered as wind dmg so you'll want wind dmg bonus too Because of how her kit look, it could be possible that an atk% planet sphere would be better than wind dmg bonus, i'm not sure, better to wait for release. (the reason is that her arcana dmg depend on atk like every other dot, but the multiplier increase with every stack of arcana. But in practice we may not reach high enough stack where atk sphere will do better than wind sphere) Edit : forgot to mention but ofc she will like speed. So the substat you looking for are speed, atk% and EHR. For the main stat, i would wait to be sure between EHR or Atk% body and between atk% or wind dmg sphere. Maybe go look for theorycrafter if you wanna farm now
TBH, what you say is the truest statement, people be trying to chase the meta too hard or pull for every character possible without laying down a foundation. you should pull on the banners you want but you should not build every single character, its like building a lego set, you get 20% of the way through and hoyo announces a new character so you drop the lego set in preparation for the new lego set. Just slow down, build the characters you have right now so you can get the jades from the events and MOCs so you can pull more. Make the game easy for yourself instead of going through this cycle of "i need this next character because everyone says the character is a must have". Turn off social media, dont listen to them, play things like normal until the banner is actually out and decide if you want to pull or skip because you want the character.
I did pull for Xueyi and ended up with Ruan Mei E1 but considering what it is, it was not a big problem. For those two, I was thinking of getting Sparkle as my two teams are (currently), Clara, Tingyun, Pela, Lynx and Jingliu, Ruan Mei, Fu Xuan, ???. The last one was intended to be Bronya (for 300th pull. I know Pela is amazing with Jingliu, but I can put her in two teams in contents that require separate ones.) but after seeing Sparkle, I might be interested. "Might". Because I want Acheron and future potential units as well and as a low spender (aka BP/EP only), I prefer to invest ressources correctly.
Welp that’s my prb lol I know Sparkle is amazing and for low spenders / P2P players going for support is always the right thing however you still need 2 or 3 good DPS units aswell so it’s up 2 you. For me I’m skipping for Archeron for 2 reasons firstly I alrdy have E1S1 Broyna, E1 Mei and E6 Tingyun so I’m not in need of more support’s. And secondly because I’m a simp… ya sadly I’m a H13 vet so I have to get the Raiden Mei of HSR lol.
I kinda figured they were gunna put a character for sp mainly because a lot of units struggle from being sp hungry. I just thought they'd do like a four star with a talent where you get sp back from an ult or something
the way ill never understand the skill point struggle with dhil is insane. I never find myself struggling for skillpoints and its very rare i only use his basic attack. I run tingyun and pela with huo huo on his team but to be fair my tingyun is on bronya's light cone
Greeeat yet another reminder that I don't have the Tutorial LC because I'm a PS5 player and we didn't get to start playing this game until version 1.4 and that event was a long passed -.-
I am pulling for black swan cause i just had ruan mei for harmony. I also do not have IL and haven’t build QQ so sparkle’s skill point is not that enticing to me at least for now. I’ll get her on her rerun tho
Can I put Sparkle in the DoT Unit? I got Kafka and black swan and for healer I use Huohuo but I don't have ruan mei, should I pull sparkle or wait for Ruan Mei or I can pull for Archeon? please help me since i am new to this game:)
as SW 4 star lightcone probably BiS for Black Swan, should I go for Kafka's Signature instead? as I currently don't have enough jades for both signatures.
I have to admit I never really struggle with my IL and the skill points. I run him with Luocha, Tingyun and a flexible unit (more often than not Blade, they actually work rather well together). Works just fine to me. I think I will try Sparkle out first before I decide, I am more interested in Aventurine too be honest. 😅
Wasn't going to pull for any since Gallagher and Aventurine look like they're going to be the next two based on the Twitter feed (so I'll need all the pulls I can get) but Sparkle seems like the Kazuha of Star Rail. Very versatile, timeless unit that goes well in most teams (since most heavy hitters are SP hungry).
I play genshin but there's not much to do currently except farming primos and building characters. Want to start hsr can anyone tell me if it's a good decision and what is different between the two games??
here's the thing about the mono quantum team that boggles my mind I feel you don't need Lynx if you have Fu Xuan, especially if you do what I did and give her body piece the "Outgoing healing" main stat. So I ran QQ or now Xueyi instead of Lynx.
I am planning to get sparkle but would also like a lc, I have dan hang and jing yuan. I want both of theirs tbh but can only choose one and idk who to pick🧍🏽♂️
I haven't played since getting Fu Xuan and logged in yesterday to get Ratio lol. Ratio/Welt/Fu Xuan and Seele are the only 5* characters I have at the moment. Unfortunately I play casually as in I do not grind for Relics. I just go along with the main story and side quests normally. So everyone is still using the base game 4* ones that are given for free. Still cant get pass Phantylia.
I'm gonna be going for black swan because she seems absolutely insane for DOT teams and I have kafka and ruan mei so it will make it so much better, might pick up spakle or skip for acheron not sure yet
Man it hurts soo bad not pulling for sparkle , but we all have to make sacrifices somewhere and I want archeron plus LC and adventuine. Not having DHIL and having e2 bronya plus ruan mei makes things a bit easier. Will have to wait for rerun and see by then if I want her. Honestly they should have made acheron quantum. I wonder who our next quantum dps will be .
I'm excited for Sparkle. I love her design and she'll be perfect for my DHIL/Seele/QQ teams. I'd love to get BS but I'm holding out for the rest of Penacony, especially Sam and Acheron.
i'm pulling for her because i like her that's all there is to it, though the meta aspect will help me a lot so it's a win win (assuming i win the 50/50)
I'm a new player, and I don't know who should I pull... Should I go for Imbibitor Lunae or for Sparkle? I really like sparkle but I don't know if she's gonna be good without Imbibitor Lunae
I was going to skip for jingliu rerun but not only did they put another character I want in the banner (Dan heng) but they also gave us a support for my kafka😨
I need your guys opinion, I have all quantum character, Kafka, Ruan Mei and Jingliu, I don't want gambling myself and try win 50/50 2 times plus I really like and want Acheron that is leaked to be also a nihility type, and I still need a second solo sustainer so who should I pull and skip? 😅
I'm a release player who took a long break from the game, so all I have is standards like e1 bronya, bailu and then seele. Tbf, I live by pull who you want to pull for. I personally dont have kafka but will try to pull for black swan. I believe down the road i will find a use for most characters.
I started on console and missed out on a lot of earlier content. Jing Yuan is the one I wanted since day one...then I saw Kafka and thought "hey that's good for Sampo. I don't really like her but it's fine.". Then Black Swan was announced and I said "Oh cool! I'll use her instead of going for Kafka"...then I saw Jing Yuan banner...and...and then I saw Sparkle banner who I love the character and design of... These banners have been a lot at once and it's almost overwhelming trying to decide who to go for. I did get Black Swan and with Sampo potential on the Jing Yuan banner, i'll try and get him. But still, it is too much of a good thing at once. I play Genshin too and Honkai to me feels a lot more methodical and you have to really think about who you pull for. Genshin is a lot more chill in that aspect...so these banners and new characters are really going to test people.
Misha has a place along side DHIL as a second dps or with characters like Dr. Ratio who uses his skill every chance he has, but definitely DHIL and Misha is a good combo.
Yeah. DHIL's scales count as consuming skill points so Misha will generate more energy and increase his ult hit count. With E2 he can also double as a debuffer. I don't know which is the best Harmony for this team (Sparkle or Ruan Mei).
As good as Dan Heng IL was, idk if I can pull for him since he is the most skill point hungry charcater in the game with QQ being 2nd. But if I were to decide on who I am targeting for the upcoming 2.0 banners, Sparkle is the way to go for me. And idk how good her sig light cone would be but if ever im gonna pull for the light cone banners, then jing yuan's light cone might be the go to for me cause it works well with other erudition characters other than jing yuan.
I’m going black swan, I love her design and I have an E2 Kafka and Ruan Mei already. Hope we all get some good luck with these 2 if anyone else is trying to get both!
I don't think Xueyi needs Silverwolf as much as people think, especially if she is E2. But she does need a good breaker if she is going against a non-quantum boss.
3 quantum and one imaginary since thats much works well with sparkle 3 quantum is a huge boost for your quantum units is really is a huge buff but you can also do mono quantum too with qq or with IL since i have both but still im aiming for fu xuan so that i have tank instead of using IL with seele thats for sure much better team comp for sparkle right now well it doesnt mean that seele is no better shes descent the more she attack repeatedly cost enery too but not as much as qq and IL but will qq or IL as main dealer fit her so well but i hope they should put a another quantum in which it use a lot of energy thats will happen to gain a real mono quantum with sparkle but who knows maybe in the future banner welp but my suggest is just build two teams if they wanted it like me im mostly pulling for quantum and imaginary just build what you want dont chase every banner you will just regret it someday just focus in one or two team before building new team
I don't have other Nihility for BS so I'm probably gonna try for Acheron or something.. but my god, there's too much I want between Sparkle, HuoHuo, BS, and utilitarian units
Tbh, I’ve noticed a pattern in how Hoyo has been putting out characters for a new patch since roughly 1.2: whenever we get a new patch, it’s normally the 2nd chr that comes out, that will be meta changing. Fu xuan and Jingliu came out as the 2nd character of their respective patches, and took over their respective fields, Argenti came out the patch immediately before PF, and is pretty good at what he does, loucha, when he first released was the best healer at that time, and Dr ratio, while not being as good as Ruan Mei in terms of flexibility, is one of, or the best single target dmg dealers in the meta, being softlocked at S on pryden due to being single target. While this is more or less a crumbly theory - I will admit- a lot of the 2nd banner chrs have been seting the meta since roughtly 1.2 . While this might be true, a lot of the 1st banner picks have also been good; Huo Huo was a good dual healer, DHIL is still s good option if you don’t have jingliu, (better sing sparkle will help solve his problems.) and blade and topaz has more potential which will take time to unlock. (I didn’t mention Kafka, mostly due to her not being meta, but technically, she did take over, and is the best for DOT teams, so that also could be seen.) Basically, pull for whoever you want, or your don’t have, everything is viable, but if you want meta characters, the 2nd banner pick will probably, on most times, either redefine, or be really good for the meta.
Definately going for sparkle. Black swan might go nice with my kafka but im not giving up sampo. the sustain kafka sampo ruan mei team works more then well enough. Sparkle should compliment danIL sustain and prob tingyun or pela well
As a Kafka main i really want to put Sampo on the bench. But Sparkle would be so good for Dan Heng. Plus i need another support for my second Memory of Chaos team... Whatever should i do? Both are tempting to pull for
Black Swan is pretty niche, she isn't that strong as everyone hypes her for. If you have Sampo you can live just fine without BS. Just roll for the one you find more cute/hot.
Ruan Mei and Sparkle will make any Hypercarry unit busted asf. Throw in Fu Xuan in the mix and oh boy. Your DPS about to run through enemies like Taco Bell runs through me. 💀
Tutorial lc is especially perfect for black suan due to her trace Just like Xueyi she have good dmg scaling over EHR 60% of EHR converted to dmg including her dot Making Tutorial basically give 24% dmg to her Not only normal dmg aswell Also her max stacks is 50
I got Black Swan now and I will get her light crone after that wait for Kafka rerun and Ruan Mei so I can save my jades I will try to pull for Sparkle tho she can help me in the future I'm sure
I really hate that I am never interested in the design of the characters which are obviously meta supports like Sparkle or Fu Xuan or Huohuo ... I'm pulling for Black Swan because I main Kafka... I'll probably gonna have to wait for the rerun like how I got Silver Wolf TT I'm still pulling for Black Swan because her ult is cool
Well im f2p and with reasons i stated above lol i dont like cutesy charas. While Ruan Mei was a luxury for me so I still passed her up lol itll just be me and natasha til the end 😂 And even if aventurine is preservation i still dont like his persona. Guess ill suffer more in MoC until we get a badass healer
@@hzrinv Fu Xuan is really cool char and her personality is really great compared to the rest of short char I feel like u might actually like her. But in the end is up to you ofc
Tbh just by seeing how she attacks and how her skill looks like im more hyped for sparkle ever since she got leaked, you cant really resist the urge to pull for cute characters❤❤❤
I want Sparkle and NEEDED Lunae Dan Heng, but with Genshin L Ratio dude now I'm not lacking Imaginary damage anymore... Still conflicted since I am in the guaranteed pull and the rewards are surely to put me in the threshold to get it but I can't afford to get both Lunae and Sparkle... I think I can only go for Sparkle with that banner schedule.
As someone who has 100 pulls saved up, I really want to play meta game but I also want the new cute characters. DHIL and Jingliu are my top dps picks and as such I really want DHIL E2 then pull for sparkle. However I feel like I may need BS because DOT characters are not only easier to build but are more unique and seem more future proof than pure dps. I am a spender so I am not afraid to chuck out 300-400 bucks more to obtain all I need, the problem comes with Acheron because I REALLY want her bad. I got to admit HSR team really knows what their doing with the banner lineup...

I don't have Dan Heng IL or units built that would really benefit from Sparkle so I'm def getting Black Swan to polish my Kafka team, that way I can save for other dps units and 5-star sustains that I really need down the line
Same I don't have units That benefit sparkle So I'll be going for black swan then maybe pull for sparkle on her re run.
I got Black Swan today and planning to get her light crone so I have a question can black swan benifit from Jing Yuan or just wait for Kafka rerun🤔
@@carlomeris2184sampo and gui are better with black swan than jing yuan
Aventurine should be coming soon and he is a preservation unit, so there goes your sustain. If he is anything like Tooaz and Numby (also a IPC faction character) he will be dope.
@@thomasbrown6332 topaz isn’t that cracked tbh. I hope he’s way better than her
I use IL DH a lot and I never had skill point issues. I usually ran him with skill point positive units and then it's easy. Luo for healer, Silver Wolf for debuff, Tingyjun for boost. *shrug* His ult essentially gives him 2 skill points so it's not super hard.
Yeah, I think so too. I use IL, RM, Huohuo & TY and I barely face any SP issues.
Sparkle looks like fun and is cute. So will try for her probably of the two banners.
😭😭😭
@@bunbun283 Cute and Funny indeed, lmao
Fute
Getting Misha's LC is good for Xueyi as it greatly boost Break Effect and Crit Rate.
Is xueyi ok to pair with Ratio? Newer player here, and working on building a team around my only 5* dps (Ratio)
@@thomasbrown6332 Dr. Ratio needs a debuffer like Silverwolf or Pela to debuffs enemies in order to maximize his buffs. So you Dr. Ratio + debuffer + harmony + healer/preservation. I don't think Xueyi will be good in Dr. Ratio team.
0:56 QQ looks sus in this one
this patch broke me. I wanna pull for black swan for my kafka, and i wanna pull for sparkle too for my daniel. i can't decide which one to pull for too since i'm waiting for luocha rerun
same here man, imgn if the nxt rerun after 2.0 banners is luccha 💀
try your luck for swan. if you fail save for sparkle. shes going to be able to be in way more teams than swan will be. not just saying for the meta. but i find it fun to just put random cahracters to gether to make it work and sparkle is a good unit for that
@@archerverse13I understand you, I want a Luocha rerun too, I missed the banner 😭
I am waiting for Luocha rerun too.
Id like to state that swan being just a dot unit is a bit of understatement since she has silverwolf /pela ultimate (30-40 smth def shred) on her skill... and aoe 😅 and lets just say her dmg... is smth... like shes more a destruction than a nihility tbh 😂
But hey at least she doesnt implant weaknesses 💀
She's like support-dps hybrid for dot units
small correction, but she has def shred on her skill going up to 20% not 30-40% (unlike pela and SW, they both reach 40% def shred)
And on her ult its not def shred but dmg taken increase (ennemies take 25% more dmg at max lvl)
Its kinda similar, but not exactly
@@yeyo8457 oh ye true.
Also quick question, do u know if break effect, crit or elemental dmg affects her arcana dmg? Cause if its not just a windshear dot but skill dmg so im not sure wat to look for in substats
@@AlexN0704 she got a bonus abilities that increase her dmg depending on EHR (based on my dream, that bonus would look like : Increases this unit's DMG by an amount equal to 60% of Effect Hit Rate, up to a maximum DMG increase of 72%.)
Then her arcana dmg will depend on her atk and arcana is considered as wind dmg so you'll want wind dmg bonus too
Because of how her kit look, it could be possible that an atk% planet sphere would be better than wind dmg bonus, i'm not sure, better to wait for release.
(the reason is that her arcana dmg depend on atk like every other dot, but the multiplier increase with every stack of arcana. But in practice we may not reach high enough stack where atk sphere will do better than wind sphere)
Edit : forgot to mention but ofc she will like speed. So the substat you looking for are speed, atk% and EHR.
For the main stat, i would wait to be sure between EHR or Atk% body and between atk% or wind dmg sphere. Maybe go look for theorycrafter if you wanna farm now
It's 20% at lvl 10 skill what 99% of playerbase would have.
TBH, what you say is the truest statement, people be trying to chase the meta too hard or pull for every character possible without laying down a foundation. you should pull on the banners you want but you should not build every single character, its like building a lego set, you get 20% of the way through and hoyo announces a new character so you drop the lego set in preparation for the new lego set. Just slow down, build the characters you have right now so you can get the jades from the events and MOCs so you can pull more. Make the game easy for yourself instead of going through this cycle of "i need this next character because everyone says the character is a must have". Turn off social media, dont listen to them, play things like normal until the banner is actually out and decide if you want to pull or skip because you want the character.
That's
Actually something I could've done a couple days ago
Thank you for this
Your video format is quasi art to me with your shot placements with your script. Appreciate how your perspective is always nuanced and genuine
I'll definitely pull for jing yuan lc if i got enough pulls
Kafka and Imbibitor havers trying to figure out if they want black swan or sparkle 💀💀💀
Yeah I‘m in such a clutch rn. First wanted to have Black Swan but now I want Sparkle. God, such a dilemma.
Ong I need help
Nah, I’d get both.
my head says i should get sparkle but my heart is set on black swan
i was planning to pull her anyways cause her design matches well with qingque lol
watching this 10 days later since im debating on pulling for sparkle, and i can positively say black swan is absolutely wild
I did pull for Xueyi and ended up with Ruan Mei E1 but considering what it is, it was not a big problem. For those two, I was thinking of getting Sparkle as my two teams are (currently), Clara, Tingyun, Pela, Lynx and Jingliu, Ruan Mei, Fu Xuan, ???. The last one was intended to be Bronya (for 300th pull. I know Pela is amazing with Jingliu, but I can put her in two teams in contents that require separate ones.) but after seeing Sparkle, I might be interested. "Might". Because I want Acheron and future potential units as well and as a low spender (aka BP/EP only), I prefer to invest ressources correctly.
Welp that’s my prb lol I know Sparkle is amazing and for low spenders / P2P players going for support is always the right thing however you still need 2 or 3 good DPS units aswell so it’s up 2 you.
For me I’m skipping for Archeron for 2 reasons firstly I alrdy have E1S1 Broyna, E1 Mei and E6 Tingyun so I’m not in need of more support’s.
And secondly because I’m a simp… ya sadly I’m a H13 vet so I have to get the Raiden Mei of HSR lol.
I kinda figured they were gunna put a character for sp mainly because a lot of units struggle from being sp hungry. I just thought they'd do like a four star with a talent where you get sp back from an ult or something
the way ill never understand the skill point struggle with dhil is insane. I never find myself struggling for skillpoints and its very rare i only use his basic attack. I run tingyun and pela with huo huo on his team but to be fair my tingyun is on bronya's light cone
Greeeat yet another reminder that I don't have the Tutorial LC because I'm a PS5 player and we didn't get to start playing this game until version 1.4 and that event was a long passed -.-
I am pulling for black swan cause i just had ruan mei for harmony. I also do not have IL and haven’t build QQ so sparkle’s skill point is not that enticing to me at least for now. I’ll get her on her rerun tho
Glad to see you back in hsr
Can I put Sparkle in the DoT Unit? I got Kafka and black swan and for healer I use Huohuo but I don't have ruan mei, should I pull sparkle or wait for Ruan Mei or I can pull for Archeon? please help me since i am new to this game:)
most annoying is when your IL Dan get cc and you want dispel him but you only have 3 skill points left
as SW 4 star lightcone probably BiS for Black Swan, should I go for Kafka's Signature instead? as I currently don't have enough jades for both signatures.
as a Daniel, Kafka, AND Ruan Mei haver who wants to build teams for ALL of them this update might break me 💀
Should i go for black swan if i already have ruan mei and kafka but not silverwolf for sparkle?
So its a xingqui,yelan situation? Like everyone thought each one would be in a different half of abyss. But they work together rely nicely...
The Raiden Shogun look-a-like, oh my god bro...
It’s really hard for me to decide it’s either sparkle or dan heng il like why on the same update
It's easy to tell what they will do with units after sparkle : characters less and less reliable on crit dmg
I have to admit I never really struggle with my IL and the skill points. I run him with Luocha, Tingyun and a flexible unit (more often than not Blade, they actually work rather well together). Works just fine to me. I think I will try Sparkle out first before I decide, I am more interested in Aventurine too be honest. 😅
Wasn't going to pull for any since Gallagher and Aventurine look like they're going to be the next two based on the Twitter feed (so I'll need all the pulls I can get) but Sparkle seems like the Kazuha of Star Rail. Very versatile, timeless unit that goes well in most teams (since most heavy hitters are SP hungry).
Im glad sparkle is in the second half, so then I can decide if I should save and go for adventine or just get her.
With this Video, You're making me hesitate about who to pull now. Cause I also have Kafka and Mono Quantum at the same time.☠☠☠☠
Will try to go for Sparkle cx Would be fun addition to my roster!
I play genshin but there's not much to do currently except farming primos and building characters. Want to start hsr can anyone tell me if it's a good decision and what is different between the two games??
here's the thing about the mono quantum team that boggles my mind
I feel you don't need Lynx if you have Fu Xuan, especially if you do what I did and give her body piece the "Outgoing healing" main stat. So I ran QQ or now Xueyi instead of Lynx.
any guess when will huohuo rerun?? i really need her on my team 😢
I am planning to get sparkle but would also like a lc, I have dan hang and jing yuan. I want both of theirs tbh but can only choose one and idk who to pick🧍🏽♂️
Sparkle is Sparkling. Gonna try to pull for her. Also that QQ Eidolon. Still missing 2 before E6.
I haven't played since getting Fu Xuan and logged in yesterday to get Ratio lol.
Ratio/Welt/Fu Xuan and Seele are the only 5* characters I have at the moment.
Unfortunately I play casually as in I do not grind for Relics. I just go along with the main story and side quests normally. So everyone is still using the base game 4* ones that are given for free. Still cant get pass Phantylia.
I'm gonna be going for black swan because she seems absolutely insane for DOT teams and I have kafka and ruan mei so it will make it so much better, might pick up spakle or skip for acheron not sure yet
Man it hurts soo bad not pulling for sparkle , but we all have to make sacrifices somewhere and I want archeron plus LC and adventuine. Not having DHIL and having e2 bronya plus ruan mei makes things a bit easier. Will have to wait for rerun and see by then if I want her. Honestly they should have made acheron quantum. I wonder who our next quantum dps will be .
Damn i rlly want to save up for adventurine and sunday but sparkle just too meta to not to pull😭😭😭😭😭
I'm excited for Sparkle. I love her design and she'll be perfect for my DHIL/Seele/QQ teams. I'd love to get BS but I'm holding out for the rest of Penacony, especially Sam and Acheron.
i'm pulling for her because i like her that's all there is to it, though the meta aspect will help me a lot so it's a win win (assuming i win the 50/50)
In before Sparkle becomes the next Tingyun ... *snap*
I'm a new player, and I don't know who should I pull...
Should I go for Imbibitor Lunae or for Sparkle? I really like sparkle but I don't know if she's gonna be good without Imbibitor Lunae
I was going to skip for jingliu rerun but not only did they put another character I want in the banner (Dan heng) but they also gave us a support for my kafka😨
I need your guys opinion, I have all quantum character, Kafka, Ruan Mei and Jingliu, I don't want gambling myself and try win 50/50 2 times plus I really like and want Acheron that is leaked to be also a nihility type, and I still need a second solo sustainer so who should I pull and skip? 😅
I'm a release player who took a long break from the game, so all I have is standards like e1 bronya, bailu and then seele. Tbf, I live by pull who you want to pull for. I personally dont have kafka but will try to pull for black swan. I believe down the road i will find a use for most characters.
I started on console and missed out on a lot of earlier content. Jing Yuan is the one I wanted since day one...then I saw Kafka and thought "hey that's good for Sampo. I don't really like her but it's fine.". Then Black Swan was announced and I said "Oh cool! I'll use her instead of going for Kafka"...then I saw Jing Yuan banner...and...and then I saw Sparkle banner who I love the character and design of...
These banners have been a lot at once and it's almost overwhelming trying to decide who to go for. I did get Black Swan and with Sampo potential on the Jing Yuan banner, i'll try and get him. But still, it is too much of a good thing at once.
I play Genshin too and Honkai to me feels a lot more methodical and you have to really think about who you pull for. Genshin is a lot more chill in that aspect...so these banners and new characters are really going to test people.
Misha has a place along side DHIL as a second dps or with characters like Dr. Ratio who uses his skill every chance he has, but definitely DHIL and Misha is a good combo.
Yeah. DHIL's scales count as consuming skill points so Misha will generate more energy and increase his ult hit count. With E2 he can also double as a debuffer. I don't know which is the best Harmony for this team (Sparkle or Ruan Mei).
Def sparkle for that sp regen
@@ki_dochannel93 Definitely Sparkle, she’s made pretty much for QQ or DHIL.
Ratio need debuff, dhil not provide debuff, you waste one slot for harmony or debuffer
What are you talking about? Where did ratio come from@@piplupempoleon4225
As good as Dan Heng IL was, idk if I can pull for him since he is the most skill point hungry charcater in the game with QQ being 2nd. But if I were to decide on who I am targeting for the upcoming 2.0 banners, Sparkle is the way to go for me. And idk how good her sig light cone would be but if ever im gonna pull for the light cone banners, then jing yuan's light cone might be the go to for me cause it works well with other erudition characters other than jing yuan.
Bronya that works with IL, that's exactly what I needed.
Thx for the video!
I'm still going to get black swan just because i really like tarot cards and her design despite not having kafka i still really like dot teams
I will be trying for black swan and i just used up all my pulls on kafka and ruan mei it took me 210 pulls
The thing is I'm building dot team with kafka and black swan is must pull but having sparks hmmmmm dam
Already have bronya ...now going for sparkle....been hoarding events and quests for gems
I’m going black swan, I love her design and I have an E2 Kafka and Ruan Mei already. Hope we all get some good luck with these 2 if anyone else is trying to get both!
use sparkle skill to advance forward and cdmg boost bronya > use bronya ult > use bronya to advance forward main dps > dont crit
I don't think Xueyi needs Silverwolf as much as people think, especially if she is E2. But she does need a good breaker if she is going against a non-quantum boss.
He was talking about the mono quantum team....
@@MrVhatever Even in such a case, unless the boss has quantum damage resistance its still fine.
3 quantum and one imaginary since thats much works well with sparkle 3 quantum is a huge boost for your quantum units is really is a huge buff but you can also do mono quantum too with qq or with IL since i have both but still im aiming for fu xuan so that i have tank instead of using IL with seele thats for sure much better team comp for sparkle right now well it doesnt mean that seele is no better shes descent the more she attack repeatedly cost enery too but not as much as qq and IL but will qq or IL as main dealer fit her so well but i hope they should put a another quantum in which it use a lot of energy thats will happen to gain a real mono quantum with sparkle but who knows maybe in the future banner welp but my suggest is just build two teams if they wanted it like me im mostly pulling for quantum and imaginary just build what you want dont chase every banner you will just regret it someday just focus in one or two team before building new team
I'm trying to decide if I get Kafka, Dan il or wait for sparkle
cant wait for the raiden mei expy
I still dont have Bronya even with every other standard character besides Bailu so Im pretty excited to try skipping turns for once
I don't have other Nihility for BS so I'm probably gonna try for Acheron or something.. but my god, there's too much I want between Sparkle, HuoHuo, BS, and utilitarian units
Im literally at the beginning and my only fps is dr ratio should i go for acheron or for support characters?
support unless u have bronya or tingyun (pref both)
if you like acheron and u have pela bronya just go for acheron because shes a good dps
coming back to starrail after i started on fu xuans banner :P looks fun!
Tbh, I’ve noticed a pattern in how Hoyo has been putting out characters for a new patch since roughly 1.2: whenever we get a new patch, it’s normally the 2nd chr that comes out, that will be meta changing. Fu xuan and Jingliu came out as the 2nd character of their respective patches, and took over their respective fields, Argenti came out the patch immediately before PF, and is pretty good at what he does, loucha, when he first released was the best healer at that time, and Dr ratio, while not being as good as Ruan Mei in terms of flexibility, is one of, or the best single target dmg dealers in the meta, being softlocked at S on pryden due to being single target.
While this is more or less a crumbly theory - I will admit- a lot of the 2nd banner chrs have been seting the meta since roughtly 1.2 . While this might be true, a lot of the 1st banner picks have also been good; Huo Huo was a good dual healer, DHIL is still s good option if you don’t have jingliu, (better sing sparkle will help solve his problems.) and blade and topaz has more potential which will take time to unlock.
(I didn’t mention Kafka, mostly due to her not being meta, but technically, she did take over, and is the best for DOT teams, so that also could be seen.)
Basically, pull for whoever you want, or your don’t have, everything is viable, but if you want meta characters, the 2nd banner pick will probably, on most times, either redefine, or be really good for the meta.
Definately going for sparkle. Black swan might go nice with my kafka but im not giving up sampo. the sustain kafka sampo ruan mei team works more then well enough. Sparkle should compliment danIL sustain and prob tingyun or pela well
Crying at having missed out on Tutorial Mission because I didn't know the game existed
I’m saving for sparkle bit I’m gonna pull on black swans banner for misha
I want to pull for guinaifen but I also want to pull for the pearls of sweat, then there's qq then hanya, sh8t
As a Kafka main i really want to put Sampo on the bench. But Sparkle would be so good for Dan Heng. Plus i need another support for my second Memory of Chaos team...
Whatever should i do? Both are tempting to pull for
Black Swan is pretty niche, she isn't that strong as everyone hypes her for. If you have Sampo you can live just fine without BS. Just roll for the one you find more cute/hot.
If you main kafka definitely pull for black swan, she gonna be so good with her believe me
Ruan Mei and Sparkle will make any Hypercarry unit busted asf. Throw in Fu Xuan in the mix and oh boy. Your DPS about to run through enemies like Taco Bell runs through me. 💀
nah thats crazy💀💀
@@ukron1254Also I apparently can’t make coherent sentences. Had to edit my comment at 2 times 💀
@@beardedcat9744bruh that’s still wild wat the fuck XD
You have one interesting analogy
@@amari7782 Seems like the Taco Bell thing happens to alot of people though doesn’t seem that crazy to me. 😎
Tutorial lc is especially perfect for black suan due to her trace
Just like Xueyi she have good dmg scaling over EHR
60% of EHR converted to dmg including her dot
Making Tutorial basically give 24% dmg to her
Not only normal dmg aswell
Also her max stacks is 50
I got Black Swan now and I will get her light crone after that wait for Kafka rerun and Ruan Mei so I can save my jades
I will try to pull for Sparkle tho she can help me in the future I'm sure
I'm supposed to use my guarantee on Sparkle but Aventurine got me with his dance
I really hate that I am never interested in the design of the characters which are obviously meta supports like Sparkle or Fu Xuan or Huohuo ... I'm pulling for Black Swan because I main Kafka... I'll probably gonna have to wait for the rerun like how I got Silver Wolf TT I'm still pulling for Black Swan because her ult is cool
Funny cuz I pulled all of them (except Sparkle which I will def get.) not because they're meta simply cause I love their design
Well im f2p and with reasons i stated above lol i dont like cutesy charas. While Ruan Mei was a luxury for me so I still passed her up lol itll just be me and natasha til the end 😂
And even if aventurine is preservation i still dont like his persona. Guess ill suffer more in MoC until we get a badass healer
@@hzrinv Fu Xuan is really cool char and her personality is really great compared to the rest of short char I feel like u might actually like her. But in the end is up to you ofc
@@hzrinvwhy you dont like fu xuan? Hairstyle?
my problem is the opposite i love the designs of support characters (Huohuo, Ruan Mei, etc) so my acc lacks any real damage dealer T_T
Her kit is just a plus for me. Ever since they released her character model, I just knew, I had to pull her
I’m here for both
I will get both
Misha can come home if he wants
As for the lightcones, first phase does seem quite enticing
I'm back in the game and I have no idea who should I get at this point. There are just too much options.
Tbh just by seeing how she attacks and how her skill looks like im more hyped for sparkle ever since she got leaked, you cant really resist the urge to pull for cute characters❤❤❤
I want Sparkle and NEEDED Lunae Dan Heng, but with Genshin L Ratio dude now I'm not lacking Imaginary damage anymore...
Still conflicted since I am in the guaranteed pull and the rewards are surely to put me in the threshold to get it but I can't afford to get both Lunae and Sparkle...
I think I can only go for Sparkle with that banner schedule.
Eyes of the Prey isn't a rate up on Black Swan's light cone. That makes me very sad.
Im skipping 2.0 in my first account
but on my second account i gonna pull on sparkle for mono quantum
As someone who has 100 pulls saved up, I really want to play meta game but I also want the new cute characters. DHIL and Jingliu are my top dps picks and as such I really want DHIL E2 then pull for sparkle. However I feel like I may need BS because DOT characters are not only easier to build but are more unique and seem more future proof than pure dps. I am a spender so I am not afraid to chuck out 300-400 bucks more to obtain all I need, the problem comes with Acheron because I REALLY want her bad. I got to admit HSR team really knows what their doing with the banner lineup...
