She’s not really underrated, there are videos saying how himeko rose in today’s meta and is literally 0 tier in PF. Underrated means people don’t know acknowledge how good a character is like how Bennett was in the start of Genshin before people realized he is OP.
Been a Himeko main around the time before Duke set released. Never got her from Gacha, picked her from the 300 warps selector even though people were saying she's trash. Her evolution was pretty neat to watch, here's how it looked like: Suprise surprise, BE was op before BE meta hit! Most people assumed the fire set is her BiS and that her main dmg is FUA. In reality her main dmg was always skill and burst, FUA was just a bonus. And her bis set was 4p Thief with Salsotto, but BE rope with a balance of BE and crit stats. Then you watch out for Himeko to do the breaking of weakness bar and bam, she was killing it(learned all that from Lisara). Things changed when Duke set released alongside Topaz. Regular Crit Himeko got on top and Topaz was seen as a decent support for Himeko, since she both helps break the enemies weakness and buffs FUA(yes it's not Himeko's main dmg source, but with Topaz you could break enemies more often). And finally, FF and BH brought the BE meta. FF brought not only the new sets, but also buffed Fire Break. So basically... Hoyo accidentally buffed Himeko, making her basically budget FF that's only downside is lack of weakness implant. Crit Himeko is still great, but requires busted Harmonies that are Mei and Robin. Good option but certainly more demanding than BE Himeko when it comes to teammates. I personally use both Crit and BE Himeko. BE build is basically perfect, just need more Charmony superimpositions. According to relic scorer my Crit build is pretty busted, I just need Jing Yuan's lc to replace s5 Geniuses Repose and I'm 👌👌👌 Edit: Ngl I cringed a bit when Kekvin put her sig lc ;-; Like, it's decent but... Really inconsistent, especially outside PF. If no Jing Yuan lc, for Crit Himeko you want Geniuses Repose or Breakfast if you want an all rounder and not have to constantly switch lc's for best performance in each mode(unless you only want to use in PF, then by all means her sig wins).
Imagine being so notoriously bad at this game and still having the gall to slander Himeko 😭 That aside, while Himeko isn't my fave, she isn't just "decent" in PF, she's genuinely a powerhouse there as long as there's a fire weakness (and you know how to time her breaks). She's also among the best options to fight the puppets in moc (with a break team). It's really not a waste to build her - unless you already have like, both Argenti and Jade for PF (and FF for the puppets). But even then she's pretty fun so still not a bad idea.
Even if you have jade and argenti built I’d still say to build himeko cuz there are many quantum and fire weak enemies, himeko is a great partner with jade. Himeko has so many options it’s insane. She’s also pretty good in MOC. People have been clearing it for months using her. My one and only MOC clear was using her and boothill. MOC has more enemies now and many are fire weak. Saying himeko is bad is just a wrong statement. Many people have realized that she’s amazing. I love kekvin but it always pisses me off when shits on himeko. You don’t even know what you’re talking about. I put off watching this video for a while cuz I knew he was still be shitting on her on some way and I was right. This vid was preset annoying.
@@rms.ziggler7344 She's definitely a good Jade partner but she isn't the only option I would say, so she becomes "not absolutely needed" at this point. I doubt most people have a build Argenti + Jade + Herta/Clara/Yunli though. I sure don't. Just Argenti, Himeko and Herta. I myself only bring Himeko in MOC whenever there's the puppets, because she was the second best option against them (maybe now Rappa is?) which is pretty amazing for a standard character. But she will fall off in MOC when the FF shilling (and thus, the fire weakness) stops - unless we get some kind of AOE Silverwolf and then Himeko will remain strong regardless. The exo toughness of the current MOC is also absolutely amazing for her. My breakMeko is far from great (she has Xueyi's hand-me-downs mostly) and takes 3 to 4 cycles against the puppets. Acheron performs the same against this enemy. I think the Himeko slander is a habit people took from when the game first released, and she was considered the worst standard character. Which wasn't exactly wrong back then, she lacked the teams to support her effectively, PF wasn't a thing and the content was geared towards single target characters. But it's different now, and people should update their knowledge. Granted, it's not like we watch Kekvin to learn how to play the game haha.
@@TutTuT. Yup. Fugue is actually a really great support even with only v1 out. It's a possibility that she'll have weakness implant added. If that happens himeko is sky rocketing. Also I've learned that for super break himeko you shouldn't build break. She scales better with attack and crit for super break as well.
@@rms.ziggler7344 Yeah, Fugue will be amazing for Himeko. Esp at E1 as of right now. We'll see what v3 brings. I usually build a...hybrid Himeko? For break. So she crits, but with some added break effect. It may not be the best but if it works...
She was my first five star in the whole game and carried me through the entire game since I started two months back the only banner charecter I have is Robin,so Himeko and Herta for the most part have been my go to for a while
In PF, a Himeko + Herta team with either Ruan Mei or Robin is pretty good. But if the enemies don't have ice weakness, Herta might struggle against those enemies
This is just funny the other day. I lost my 50/50 and got Himeko, I was looking up tutorials on how to build Himeko, and now I see this. Thanks for helping. Love your videos❤
I want to see this dude do an account review for me (a day one, log in every day f2p player) and just see how constantly astounded he is, i have 50 of all weekly boss mats, 43 million credits, 2k highest level up mats, 1k max lightcone level up mats, only downside is that i only have FF for meta damage dealer (saving for Feixiao FuA, other characters i have are old meta destruction hypercarries DHIL and Jingliu)
Yooo 43 million credits?! Do you not build a lot of characters tho? Cause I've been playing a long time (not day one but pretty consistent since the beginning) and I usually hover around 9-10 million only. But I do have 25 characters fully built but that doesn't seem like too high of a number if someone's been playing this long
@@BrntVanilla yeah, I have 24 characters fully raised, maybe not FULLY fully (not perfect relics or max talents) maxed but at least all the characters I commonly use are 10/10/10 and then whatever their basic attack is, still 6 for a couple supports, I’m an aggressive pre farming and don’t min/max relic farming too hard
Himeko is a solid option in FF teams if you are lacking Ruan Mei. You'd build her full break effect for that team though. Asta is also a solid option for that team.
she's actually probably the best standard character rn in the game, all the new game modes and game mechanics only made her a lot more valuable over time you want smashing power in ultimate? himeko you want consistent breaks and fua? himeko you want erudition super break f2p? himeko besides, not a lot of characters perform well in PF specially if you're f2p with only herta on build in your account, himeko really risen up to every new meta in the game and beat the "worst 5* standard" allegations, i love her sm ❤
i will tell you that i just played this game for my first time and i only got her i have her E2 ( i played just for 2 weeks) i don't know am i lucky or unlucky
himeko is underrated as hell. love to see u building her

@@GMaster279 mb she was underrated
@@itskaitowhat yeah she was really underrated until PF came out since that’s where she shined
@@GMaster279 Even then, she's mostly seen by people as a PF carry. And certainly people underestimate how busted BE Himeko is.

I'm interested.. Can you tell more about BE Himeko? Like how much SPD & BE, does she still need crit for this build?
Himeko is actually so good though, she’s super great in a break pure fiction team!
Finally! He built the #1 standard character!
12:52 "Himoke is terrible in moc"💀💀💀
I did a 2 cycle clear with my e0s1 himeko in the latest moc💀
for the first time ever himeko is good in moc cause of exo toughness but like literally any other time she should not be even breathing near moc
same, and on this A.S She was my superbreak for Sunday
@@IanCF same I also used her on apoc shadow this time😄
Break himeko is solid in moc especially if you have no firefly
Imagine being so notoriously bad at this game and still having the gall to slander Himeko 😭

0:52 it's a pizza cutter
Lets see how Kekvin is gonna mess up something.
Welp he messed up Argenti's name brutha called him Aventurine.
He also used double sustain in that one Acheron team.
Man forgot breakiko best dps ever
She was my first five star in the whole game and carried me through the entire game since I started two months back the only banner charecter I have is Robin,so Himeko and Herta for the most part have been my go to for a while

When bro said he prepared many videos for his vacation, he meant it 💀💀💀
Two words…”final lesson” 😭
WHAT IS THAT MELODY?!?!?
Never let you go
“You’re as beautiful as the day I lost you…”
"this is my final lesson... For you..."
@@BbgirlofNanookis that an overwatch reference
This is just funny the other day. I lost my 50/50 and got Himeko, I was looking up tutorials on how to build Himeko, and now I see this. Thanks for helping. Love your videos❤
She is also a decent option for budget super break teams, though obviously on a different build.

As a day 1 himeko haver, I have awaited this day with impatient relish
Yes Himeko is the best standard dps.
KEKVIN IM BUILDING MY HIMEKO TOO(i have her e1 so i put her on my firefly team since her skill makes fire weakness better)
Himeko main since 1.0 💖
Omg I’ve been waiting for this
The fact that it was when feixiao banner is insane, how long did it take to edit bro😂
My Himiko is one of best farmer in my account, I'll recommend F2p build her.
WHY WAS THIS FOOTAGE MADE DURING FEIXIAO THAT WAS 2 BANNERS AGO AAAAAAAA and now that I think about it firefly is insane with himeko maybe
Himeko is a solid option in FF teams if you are lacking Ruan Mei. You'd build her full break effect for that team though. Asta is also a solid option for that team.
if you havent payed himiko in the exo toughness moc your missing out
My goodness😂 this game is tempting me because of this red head (I love redheads)
This moc 12 you can use himeko
break himeko vs damage himeko which is better
I got a honkai star rail add while trying to watch this.
she's actually probably the best standard character rn in the game, all the new game modes and game mechanics only made her a lot more valuable over time
you want smashing power in ultimate? himeko
you want consistent breaks and fua? himeko
you want erudition super break f2p? himeko
besides, not a lot of characters perform well in PF specially if you're f2p with only herta on build in your account, himeko really risen up to every new meta in the game and beat the "worst 5* standard" allegations, i love her sm ❤
Love the video!
i noticed you didn't post for rappa :(
Yeah he said he might skip her because his broke
Watch the next one be building Tingyun
MY QUEEN I LOVE YOU HIMEKO
Love purple hair Himeko

pizza cutter
I don't get why you just took other characters' relics and not actually work on building her lol??

I was scared to watch this kek, you shit talk her always even though she’s the best standard 5* and has a big variety of teams
