The fact that TB gets stabbed by the Lance, takes it out of their chest, awakens it, and somehow knows how to use a Lance is the most Anime movement they’ve done in the game
My favourite part is that the lance is required to command the Engine of Creation, which means Cocolia just tossed TB the keys to her giant murder mech, which they then immediately used to swat her like a fly.
One of my favorite details that sometimes gets overlooked was when Qlipoth actually swings their hammer down at the moment of MC pulling out the lance, signaling the next Amber Era.
I actually just realized that at the end of the Penacony when the end screen said "In the first year of the new Amber Era..." At that time, I remembered that a new AE only happens if Qlipoth swings THEIR hammer. Then I got reminded of this scene and everything connected lol.
@@TheFoolAltAccount OMG OMG OMG me too ! Didn't understand anything at first. Didn't know it was Qlippoth during cinematic, later I understood that he sided with me (I just didn't take control of the Engine just like that), then fandom wiki gave me the info of the swing = new era but didn't make the connection, then Penacony credits triggered everything as I went on YT to rewatch cinematics and BAAAAM NEW AMBER ERA RIGHT NOW (with music, style, and goosebumps) !! It's a Eureka moment :D
By the way Kieran, Using Asta’s bounce is better than her basic attack because bounce abilties will always hit the same person when only one enemy is left, so its just more damage and weakness break! Good tip for all abilities with bounces
@@ChocolateKieran Her skill also raises the team's ATK, so it's always worth using when you can spare the skill points. It raises it more the more enemies you hit with it, but it's still worth it on a single enemy for the damage alone, since, as he said above, every hit attacks the one enemy if only one enemy is left.
At 31:00 if you had use Asta skill instead of auto attack you would have broken because Asta does a ton of toughness damage in single target. I would not worry about saving everyone's ultimate too much though since they will recharge in just a few turns. It is fine if you do that for your breaker character though if you specifically want one character to do so.
For those not in the know, Cocolia's Stellaron form resembles _Honkai Impact 3rd_ 's Herrscher of Ice, and the big attack from her second phase almost exactly matches one that the Herrscher of Earth / Stars (who has sovereignty over gravity) from the same game. When Herrscher of Ice absorbs Herrscher of Stars, she becomes Herrscher of Rimestar, and has their combined powers and attacks. The resemblances between the Stellaron and the Honkai and Herrschers, especially this early on, led me to believe the Stellaron are _HSR_ 's version of the Honkai. This was, of course, before the _Myriad Celestia_ trailer for Acheron revealed Izumo and the Kamigami, who directly reflected the Herrschers (except minus one) and their order.
Yep, what a wonderful end to Jarilo! Theres a video called "how embers became a wildfire" thats an awesome review on why and how the bossfight worked so well, and built off the entire planets music scores. Also, as the others said, spam ultimates like crazy, Xueyi gets stacks (and extra against boss/elite) for her followup when she deletes a toughness bar so its very worth, even if you dont get the quantum break. Asta needs to always be using skills, tb alternates and can act as a hybrid sustain/dps that is mediocre at both but is applicable in a lot of teams. Other than that, having asta, xueyi and tb use skill points more is the only criticism. You never want more than 3 skill points, or you did something wrong in your rotations
You should probably spam Asta's E skill since it does 5 hits on a solo enemy making it the fastest and easiest skill to break an enemy. it also buffs party attack up to 5 times. There is a symbol at the bottom of your characters.
@@ChocolateKieran Understandable since you're fairly new. I still use Asta over Bronya most of the time because she's more flexible to use and also breaks bosses quickly.
To make it more clear cocolia as a person was essentially gone at this point. Yes her love for bronya, helped her retain a small nugget of her self. Once bronya rejected her offer to stand by her side, she let that tiny bit of her humanity go. After she is beat, that last line of her saying, the stellarin will engulf everything, is her regaining her humanity and, saying she will sacrifice herself so the stellaron doesn't kill all. She was a mother that lost hope. Once she saw that the next generation and, others where willing to fight through hell to preserve life, she came back to drag the stellaron into oblivion with her. If you watch the cutscene careful enough, you can see the stellaron attempting to escape.
Do you not know how Bounce skills work? Skills like Welt and Asta still multi-hit against single targets, they're meant to shred bosses. (them being random when there's multiple enemies isn't the norm, it's a penalty for having otherwise broken skills)
Yeah I literally had no idea until after this LOL, but I get now it basically works like Dragon Darts in Pokemon. I appreciate you guys giving me the heads up though!
you just witnessed why Star Rail popped off after Launch, that song, that bossfight, it was just epic And it was just the start .. March lines after that fight got she on a more "hated" side of the community because she got rude here after that ordeal Btw i adore Asta, especially from the looks but what she can do too
i mean the story of the next planet was a bit wonkey when the updates first came out but in updates after they fixed a good part of it, but Penacony is PEAK CINIMA (well, a game, but you know)
@@ChocolateKieran it's ok. SP management will come with time. Just an example, Asta's skill can quickly let her stacks up her buff and a great toughness breaker when there's a single enemy on the field, so spamming in Cocolia fight is really good.
Yeah ! Genshin players often have awesome reactions to HSR. Kinda want to know how you'd react to another boss fight in the game now. Still, enjoy the experience at your pace. Thanks for the reaction !
I sometimes feel you are too conservative when using DMG-dealing Ultimates. I usually pop them off as soon as possible so that I don't generate waste energy. And the final phase of the latest main story boss need you to grind down the toughness bar as quick as possible or you're fucked. So saving ults wasn't even a consideration. Granted, a decent number of characters have funky mechanics so you do have to consider when and how you use Ults. And when the enemy have like 1 health left, using Ult can be wasteful.
@@ChocolateKieran yes, breaking with Xueyi is the right move, but using Asta's skill will make the break bar go down in no time, you'll be able to break with Xueyi way quicker. No matter who deals damage to the break bar, the important part is who finish the break bar.
@@ChocolateKieran also, i don't know if you know that, but depending of what you need, breaking with Asta can be better than with Xueyi. Breaking with fire or physical deals more immediate break damage than any other element, but both Fire and Physical break DoT deals less damage than the rest. Meanwhile quantum trades immediate break damage with action delay and additional damages, higher than other element depending on the number of time you manage to hit the ennemi before their turn
@@HIO_TriXHunt OHHH to do damage to the bar, yeah I got you! I didn't realise her skill basically stacks attacks when it hits a single character, so I was holding onto skill points thinking I'd be wasting them using that, since I knew I'd need to heal alot with Bailu LOL. This makes sense though, thanks!
@@ChocolateKieran yeah that's a pretty common thing with new player, not wanting to use skill point so that they have them when needed, the thing is, by doing so you are actually wasting them. I don't know if you were aware of that, but you should watch again your battle vs Cocolia, and you'll see that many times you were at 5/5 skill point, and used a normal attack with Bailu because you didn't need to skill. And that's actually wasting skill point as you can't go higher than 5/5 skill points. And using an Asta skill before hand would have made rool to actually get a skill point from Bailu's normal attack. You'll get used to it, but knowing if a character uses more SP than it creates (SP negative), uses less SP than it creates (SP positive), uses the same amount as it creates (SP neutral) is quite important when team building. For exemple, Xueyi is negative, as she wants to skill every turn, so don't generate SP by using normal attack. While the Fire MC is positive, as he'll use his boosted auto as often as he can, and his skill only when needing to redirect the aggro

Facts 😂
My favourite part is that the lance is required to command the Engine of Creation, which means Cocolia just tossed TB the keys to her giant murder mech, which they then immediately used to swat her like a fly.
idk im not gonna spoil but 2.2 was the most anime type there was yet
We do now have a pretty good idea exactly who taught this character to use a flame lance, because you're copying some of their moves.
I never noticed it was the same lance they were stabbed with
One of my favorite details that sometimes gets overlooked was when Qlipoth actually swings their hammer down at the moment of MC pulling out the lance, signaling the next Amber Era.
Omg I didn't even realize that 😮😅

"What do you mean there is a 2nd phase!?" XD
The way the stress left my bodya nd instantly retracted back in...
@@ChocolateKieran Idk if you know this, but most time you can see how many phases a boss has by the amount of red dots above their health bar.
Mihoyo bosses _always_ have a second phase. Sometimes even a third and fourth.
@@BNuts I know, I was just quoting Kieran xd.

Thank you, I appreciate that 😁 I guess it's kind of like how a move like Dragon Darts works in Pokemon, that's good to know!
Lol was going to post the same thing XD
XD if she spam asta bounce cocomommy will be broken always xD
@@ChocolateKieran Her skill also raises the team's ATK, so it's always worth using when you can spare the skill points.

In general all skills reduce more toughness than normal attacks.

We're railing the stars with this one boys
We doing WHAT?!
him not using asta skill for some reasson had me so tilted throughout the fight bruh. I was like use it to break her cmon
Bro saving hanya ultimate for tomorrow match is crazy 😂
xueyi*
The conversation with the Guardians' Will is still after Penacony one of my favorite points in HSR, gives me goosebumps.
Yep, what a wonderful end to Jarilo!

24:47 congratulation, qlipoth has gazed upon you
Thank you 🫡
@@ChocolateKieran with the strike of THEIR hammer, a new Amber Era has begun. Good luck, Trailblazer.

Yeah I didn't realise just how good it was 😭 would have made this easier, I thought it was simply just a spread attack LOL

Well in Asta's case at least, hitting multiple random targets is also the point since it builds more stacks of her atk buff if she hits more enemies
@@torunsmok5890 One step at a time, lest we overwhelm the guy.

Got me excited about how the future arcs will end up!
@@ChocolateKieran ohhh boi you gonna like it ✌️
my brother, don't let your skill points capped.

I got triggered by him not using Asta skill and over capping skill points
what is over capping?
@@ChocolateKieran over capping is when you have skill points at max, and still use basic, meaning you’re not earning any skill points back
@@MissMissyArt Gotcha, thank you!
You should use Asta's skill more often, it's perfect to break ennemies.
Chat were saying using Quantum to break is pretty good since you can rack up damage quicker once they break. Is that Asta's much better, how come?
