Guoben wants to know who was your first S-rank unit? NOTES: I didn't put the team in team order I just put em all down next to each other for the video's sake. From now on I'll be putting them in the right order too, I didn't realize that could confuse people. Sorry, and thanks! Anyway remember you should have your DPS in the right slot of your Support unit's slot in team order for your quick assists! - Removed the Chain Attack bit as it confused some peeps, will do a lengthier explanation on things like that in future vids. Thanks for the help, vids will improve because of your questions!
Just wanted to thank you for the great guides, for Star Rail your guides already helped a ton because of how well made and digestible they are while providing all the information you need for people to be able to make good informed decisions, both for pulling and team/character building, seeing guides from you for ZZZ is great because of how hard it can be to understand some of the character's kits and envision how they're meant to be played at times.
I'm playing this game VERY casually, and I mean I haven't even finished the 1.0 main story yet. A lot of the terminology is kinda new to me and I'm glad you were able to explain everything clearly, as you do with HSR guides
Been waiting for this as he's my first S Agent, thanks ! Also, i just realized that all my first 5* (or in zzz's case, S rank) in Genshin and other gacha that uses similar system is all of the ice element lol Genshin : Ayaka HSR : Gepard WuWa : Lingyang ZZZ : Lycaon
VERY interesting take and good argument as to why his best in slot W-engine may not be his best. Love this take. I have both, so now I'm in a quandary.
Yessss Lycaon my wolf king! Got so lucky and managed to get him on my acc 🥹 Rn he's doing so much heavy lifting bcs I don't have a dps so he has to be one, with Nicole and Soukaku as his support 😂 His combos are genuinely so satisfying to do though so it works out (tho I'm sure him as a main dps role won't last long once I reach endgame. Still, mishmash teams kinda part of the charm of early game journey haha) So glad to see this video guide from you Guoben, all hail our wolf furry!
This is literally my team as well. It works so well 😭 the grouping + Lycaon kicking the shit out of everybody is insane. And the constant grouping from Nic and Souka is just cherry on top.
Lycaon, Soldier 11 and Nicole are my team right now. I confess i love Lycaon ever since i laid eyes on him and plan to getting his signature weapon soon.
Hey man great vid, I was surprised to learn that his signature W engine may not be the best choice for him, and fossilized core would beat it! No other guide on lycaon tmi made this correlation nor did they bother doing the research for this so thank you for your effort you earned yourself an xtra sub! Anyways, could you please put koleda on your agent guide bucket list? She is my favorite character, and I would like to build her optimally.
I'm literally here because I got him early + my first S rank, and I got the shark bangboo on my 50th boopon rolls, and then afterwards his signature wenjin and I feel like hoyo is shoving him in my face at this point. Kinda surprised to find out that his best discs are impact, whereas surely I thought ice discs would be great as well. I'm keeping his sig tho, his blue fur looks dope as hell 😭 time to revise my whole build :'>
I want to use him as my Main DPS. Its of cause not "optimal" but he is my favorite unit so far. What other support should I use with him then? Him and Soukaku are on a team but what for the 3th Spot as a Support for him?
Watching this because I got him as my first S rank and also got his bis engine several pulls later. 😭 Played the game because of how cool his demo is and Hoyo rewarded me for that lmao.
I've been grinding out the standard banner for weeks and finally got him, unfortunately also got two of hellfire gears, but after looking at everything, I might enjoy the energy regen and impact boosts more! But if I can get his engine I'm using it
Got Lycaone on the standard banner and then pulled for Ellen and got her in 30 pulls. My team is beast already. With Noicole in 3rd until I level up Shukakou
Nice to see you're covering zzz too now. I think you're underestimating the damage he's actually dishing out, especially in lower levels. I'm using pen and 0 crit he still hits like a truck
As I said in the early game he might do a ton, but end game the damage is 1/4th of a DPS unit on field not talking post buffs. This is on a crit build too.
got lucky enough for him to be my 50-pull 😎😎 way better than Yanqing lmao btw I think the captions got out of sync by the end, but otherwise great guide!! Same high quality that I’ve come to expect from your HSR vids. Hope you’re doing well/better and excited for more!
i have the choice to pick a standard and don’t know where to go for alexandrina, soldier 11 or lycoan which would u choose i also have tina’s signature engine
I need ppls opinion. My rotation is Ellen, lycaon, soukaku. I start chain combo with Ellen, I switch to lycaon, switch to soukaku, and switch to bangboo (which automatically swaps to Ellen for the final chain atk). I’ve been doing this combo for a while now but I notice ppl don’t follow this. I’m trying to do the most dmg, is this the right one? Yes I can test, but gonna share this here incase others were wanting to also know the most dmg rotation. This only works sometimes when the boss stays dazed throughout the whole thing, if I see the rainbow bar go grey, it won’t activate the bangboo/ellen chain choice at the very end of it
Hey Guoba correct me if i'm wrong but i think you misunderstood Precious Fossilized Core's effect, it's the target's hp not the equipper's ? So the HP/DEF doesnt matter 10:25 Edit: Nevermind I rewatched it and understoof what you were saying, build HP/DEF to not deal too much damage, sry english not my first language!
You should roll on Ellen since that would give you both teams you need. They are also top teams in the game rn. Zhu yuan is nice and I'm going for her, but she doesn't have a good team rn. Anby Nicole are her best bet. When QingYi comes out she should replace Anby and make the team much stronger. Until then I think Ellen will help you out a lot.
Was lucky enough to get hhellfire Wengine from standard and unlucky enough to get C1 on both my 50/50s rip qingyi I ll farm a quick 4pc for him since subs and 2/3 mains dnt matter much and give him a solid shot after this guide,thx for the info
Okay so i might be a little confused, but is the short animation for Lycaon's chain better than ending on Soukaku with her quick assist to DPS? To preface, i usually let Lycaon do the full break, chain to Soukaku, and then transfer her buff over through quick assist to Ellen, who enters in her roaming state
Thanks for the guide! I'm having trouble understanding what you mean about finishing Chain Attacks on bosses with Lycaon because of his short CA animation. Is there a way to manually end a chain early against bosses without using every team member, or do you mean that you should just let the CA timer run out after after Lycaon's CA instead of continuing the chain, because it would be a stun state DPS loss to complete it? Something like Lycaon stun -> Ellen CA -> Lycaon CA -> wait for timer? And if so, are you supposed to apply Soukaku's Fly the Flag buff and baton pass it to Ellen with EX Skill -> Quick Assist instead of Chain Attack -> Quick Assist?
On a boss you have 3 chains, so you can soukaku -> ellen. On less chain attacks it will depend on what you want to do. On a boss youll wanna end on the shortest animation (or dps if you cant be bothered, or support in a couple cases), and Lycaon is a very fast animation. You do his but its so fast you get back to ellen faster than if she ended the chain with her chain attack. From what we know it starts ticking down after the last chain, so saving time on that is great for us. If you dont wanna worry, just end on Ellen i guess
@guobauncertified Oh I see. So the stun timer only begins to tick down when the last CA starts, which is why you want the fastest one last? That makes sense. That being said though, is Soukaku not one of those cases for a Support you want to end on? I thought the standard play was to end CA on Soukaku, which auto triggers Fly the Flag and a Quick Assist opportunity, so you could quick swap to Ellen while baton passing Fly the Flag to her
OH I get it now, the Fly the Flag buff will persist on Ellen even if you do CA Soukaku -> Ellen -> Lycaon huh. I thought that the buff would be lost after Ellen tags out. Now I get it, thanks!
Lycaon is my first S rank and i really want to build him right. I'm still confused about which w-engine between steam oven and fossilized i should build on him. Does he need more energy regen to spam ex skill or just more impact overall ?
I was kinda disappointed that I didn't get Lycaon in the discount wish. My smile dissipated really quickly when I got Nekomata. But then she actually feels really good to play and THEN I got him in the next 80 pulls in the standard 💀 They're my mains now.
Great video, but I have the following question. I play in phone and I have not been able to find a 'swap back' button, which in computer would be pretedermined in the 'C'-key. Assuming I'm using the typical build of DPS-STUN-SUPPORT (Ellen, Von Lycaon and Soukaku), is there a way to swap fastly into Ellen in the stun phase?, cause in the video you said to finish the Chain attack with him and then swapping into Ellen.
I got him and Hellfire Gears from the standard banner 7 pulls apart. I also happen to have Ellen (heck, I thing at least 50% of the players do, considering one can easily grind out enough free premium currency to guarantee one S-ranker), and I just pulled Nekomata's signature W-gear with the 3 tickets from reaching Proxy level 40. Combine that with a M6 Soukaku, and I think I'm set for the foreseeable future.
What skills do I need to prioritize leveling up on him? Just basic and EX? I'm still not used to what skills I should be upgrading in this game. I know attackers needs every skill upgrades but what about other class?
if you have Soukaku, wouldnt you want them to go second (or last) and then your dps last (or quick assist after Soukaku)? I am under the assumption the attk buff they grant is only to the next unit
@@guobauncertified cant wait for Nicole's. She has some interesting mechanics that aren't labeled in her kit, like the motion inputs to charge her ex special even more. Most people don't even know that it can be charged at all and that's just a shame.
i was just wondering, is there any way to see if an enemy’s ice shred wore off? i never see a status bar or anything and i was wondering if there was any kind of visual indicator.
would you rather use r2 fossil or r1 steam oven (SO passive kinda looks more reliable to me, but i already got r1 fossil, so not sure if i just craft SO or another fossil to rank it up)
@@guobauncertified that's how I feel about it myself : if you happen to not kill the foe within 1 daze - it's likely to be useless till the end of the encounter, and if the enemy is beefy you want them to recover out of daze with like 55%+ HP, so passive will still work, so it's really effective only against squishy normal and elite enemies :/ guess I'll just craft SO then completely ignoring fossil :)
You think you'll ever reupload your old combat guide video that you made during the beta? I know it's probably outdated but I wanted to watch it again to see how it compares to the current game version.
should i use the r5 b rank engines since my a rank ones are only r1? i’m guessing i should since that’s the gist i got since all the rankings were assuming r5, but wanted to check
How can you tell if an Impact% buff is counted separately as a "Combat Impact%" multiplier? Shouldn't both The Restrained and Hellfire Gears provide Combat Impact%? After all, both of them are only activated by doing certain actions in-combat.
The restrained main stat the 18% is pre-combat. Same with Hellfire. Restrained Passive gives Daze% which is like a DMG% for daze values. Hellfire gives Impact in combat which is the Combat Impact
Not me watching guides when Im not even aure I want to install the gane. Question yhough, how relevant is ping for combat(switching, coubter, etc)? That moght just be why I install or not this game
I would argue that Anomaly stats are not half bad main stats for stun units. you cant really run Anomaly Mastery since thats the same slot as Impact, but I do run AP on the flex disc drive slot for Lycaon, because freeze/shatter are very strong within the context of my mono Ice team, and there is no Ice Anomaly unit so far.
the first 5 star I got was Lycaon's W-Engine from the standard one. Then when I tried to get Ellen, I lost to Lycaon. Then I got Lycaon's C1 from the standard again. I'm taking it as a sign to get C6. (and because the Mindscape Cinema changes at C6 to shirtless Lycaon😅😅)
Noo why don't you make a new costume like Guobllen or Guobcaon? It's okay if you don't want to anymore but I personally love the mixing costume model with the char you are talking about. Your guides are still very helpful, keep up your good work 🔥👍
@@almostnearlynormal ohh okay, didn't get that far into the story yet sorry. So is she a good partner for lycaon? I really wanna know since my lycaon only has corin right now
@@Sampoforeverrrr well, since she's like Ellen (ice attacker) she has perfect synergy with Lycaon and Soukaku. I like her playstyle, she's a fast attacker like Nekomata
I was aging for zhu yuan, but I got Ellen in my first 50/50. So I surrender to my gacha gambling addiction and throw 70 pulls I had saved after getting Ellen and got him, so what I can say? I build the pity for Jane doe 😂
The Restrained is still the BiS as it gives him maximum damage daze frkm his basic attacks near tk almost 100% llus some damage which is not insignificant. Lycaon kit does not have any synergy with Ex special attacks so building daze on that is a DPS lost and the daze percentage increse from holding down Ex Special is not significant compared to The Restraints stats boost in his basic attack daze application.
I cannot believe i got him this early, i was afraid he would take months to show up but i got him and i love him and im gonna try pull Ellen now that i got him
Guoben wants to know who was your first S-rank unit?

You think you'll ever reupload your old combat guide video that you made during the beta? I know it's probably outdated but I wanted to watch it again to see how it compares to the current game version.
Its unlisted so possible somewhere. IT just changed how chains and bangboo and anomaly works somewhat, also we had no classes. Dunno what else
@@guobauncertified well if you ever decide to make it public again I'll definitely rewatch it
should i use the r5 b rank engines since my a rank ones are only r1? i’m guessing i should since that’s the gist i got since all the rankings were assuming r5, but wanted to check
Yeah might as well. But P1->5 isnt too much of an increase if you wanna invest into something like Steam oven already
Should I use normal special attack if I don't have the energy for it or just spam hold-basic attacks until I get enough ?
Spamming hold basics looks to be better daze
How can you tell if an Impact% buff is counted separately as a "Combat Impact%" multiplier?
Shouldn't both The Restrained and Hellfire Gears provide Combat Impact%? After all, both of them are only activated by doing certain actions in-combat.
The restrained main stat the 18% is pre-combat.
Same with Hellfire.
Restrained Passive gives Daze% which is like a DMG% for daze values.
Hellfire gives Impact in combat which is the Combat Impact
My first S rank was Soldier 11 on my first pull have her teamed up with andy and lucy🙌🏽building my second team rn with ellen , lycaon and soukaku
What's the combo for using mono ice team? I have this team and i always end up spamming shits and basic atk without knowing anything 😅
Not me watching guides when Im not even aure I want to install the gane.
Question yhough, how relevant is ping for combat(switching, coubter, etc)? That moght just be why I install or not this game
I would argue that Anomaly stats are not half bad main stats for stun units. you cant really run Anomaly Mastery since thats the same slot as Impact, but I do run AP on the flex disc drive slot for Lycaon, because freeze/shatter are very strong within the context of my mono Ice team, and there is no Ice Anomaly unit so far.
Based gouba makes guides for the most based characters
I would love to see Grace or just Anomaly guide in general - I still don't quite get how to best utilise her >.>
If penguinboo has higher multipliers (almost 3 times) how is shark better?
Are there any replacements for Ellen in the Ice team? I went to hard pity and lose to Nekomata.
Stated some other teams later on. Nekomata's Additional Ability doesnt seem to be that major from calcs, so you could even run her there
How much worse is Pen Ratio% on the 5th disk main stat in comparison to Ice Dmg% for him?
A bit worse, a few percent at least
@@guobauncertified I see... thanks
any tips to pull him besides to 300 standard banner pull or just luck?? I need him asap and I don't know if I'm just missing something
Keep pulling im sure you'll get him xdd
just luck :(
wait until you no longer need him, then you'll pull him right away
@@konga382 yo I clapped my hands to how true this is. I remember for the longest time wanting Yanqing (Star rail), could you even imagine???
hi for disk4 and 5 if i go for hp% for anby would it be working?
Wish i had him, still gonna watch tho :)
the first 5 star I got was Lycaon's W-Engine from the standard one. Then when I tried to get Ellen, I lost to Lycaon. Then I got Lycaon's C1 from the standard again. I'm taking it as a sign to get C6. (and because the Mindscape Cinema changes at C6 to shirtless Lycaon😅😅)
Can you make a guide for people who want Lycaon to be their main dps?
Thanks, Gouby.
Istg I was about to comment in another video to REQUEST this guide lmao
Ooh I just got him as a 50/50 loss on Ellen's banner. I lost the battle but won the war :')
Noo why don't you make a new costume like Guobllen or Guobcaon? It's okay if you don't want to anymore but I personally love the mixing costume model with the char you are talking about.
Your guides are still very helpful, keep up your good work 🔥👍
he's doing several videos a week, while costume editing for his avatar takes hours each time. give the man a break.
@@konga382 yes that's why I know if he don't want to do it anymore it's, It's just feels different...
He really does need to some good sleep rest
I'm skipping Ellen for Miyabi. Is it worth upgrading Corin for my Lycaon team for the time being until Miyabi comes?
Can i ask who miyabi is? Are they a good partner for lycaon or something?
@@Sampoforeverrrr Miyabi is the crew leader of Soukaku. She's an ice attacker.
@@almostnearlynormal ohh okay, didn't get that far into the story yet sorry. So is she a good partner for lycaon? I really wanna know since my lycaon only has corin right now
@@Sampoforeverrrr well, since she's like Ellen (ice attacker) she has perfect synergy with Lycaon and Soukaku. I like her playstyle, she's a fast attacker like Nekomata
@@almostnearlynormal ohh, alright, thanks! I don't really vibe with ellen that much from the demo. Miyabi could have some potential!
I'm in dire need of one of those for Koleda since I got her and her weapon and I feel she plays a lot differently than Lycon
I was aging for zhu yuan, but I got Ellen in my first 50/50. So I surrender to my gacha gambling addiction and throw 70 pulls I had saved after getting Ellen and got him, so what I can say? I build the pity for Jane doe 😂
Add the skill priority to level up on the guide pls, especially now that resources are scarce on the start of the game
I think the only use to switch in and out of applying anomaly on a character that wants to instead of lycaon
Will you make a Rina guide soon?
yes
The Restrained is still the BiS as it gives him maximum damage daze frkm his basic attacks near tk almost 100% llus some damage which is not insignificant.
Lycaon kit does not have any synergy with Ex special attacks so building daze on that is a DPS lost and the daze percentage increse from holding down Ex Special is not significant compared to The Restraints stats boost in his basic attack daze application.
I cannot believe i got him this early, i was afraid he would take months to show up but i got him and i love him and im gonna try pull Ellen now that i got him
