"Erudition is the worst path in the game" Just before Feixiao came out the HSR community was saying that Hunt was the worst path in the game. It's funny seeing them being wrong about literally every banner.
Erudition just happens to have some of the most worst/ mid limited 5* before Rappa. - Erudition are simply AoE DPS. Like, Acheron wouldve been a great Erudition based on her kit but yeah she ended up being Nihility. - Its nice that Rappa is actually great though
I still see people saying 'Lingsha showcase' whenever it's about Rappa's team. But funnily enough, as you mentioned, fast breaker teammates are what Rappa needs, so that she can deal the final blow with her well-timed Ult.
What happened to Rappa just goes to show how Erudition really lives up to its name... Of all the playable Paths, it's the one you need to use your brains to play it to the fullest 😅😅
I was playing Jade and Topaz on swarm disaster with the elation path, got the blue cheese that gives you eidolons and finally saw the true potential of Jade, she is awesome, hope I can get her e1 someday. I got Rappa too, and I am planning to get Himeko on the 300 tickets reward. Erudition for the win!
as a rappa main who got her on accident… thank you. i had literally no relics so i had to use rainbow relics with 136 speed. i was so shocked when she beat moc 12 first half in 1 cycles. (yes they are mostly imaginary weak but her relics aren’t even that good) so yes she surprisingly is good. i’m already subscribed lol. all your guides and videos are high quality so i am so happy you have a rappa guide
The way Lisara don't stay quiet about the things they read or listened is fire, love your guides so much! One day i will get Rappa and i'll be watching your guide to play with her the right way 💕
thanks for this really amazing guide and for always reiterating how she needs other units to help her break the targets. i feel like a bunch of people forget that hsr is all about team building. i hope you continue to showcase more of rappa, lingsha or jade in the future endgame contents so those people who call them mid can be enlightened. i still find it funny that lingsha still gets called a sidegrade, i can already see people doing that to rappa. when in fact, rappa probably has the highest potential damage ceiling out of all the dps in the game right now. 😅
as the only e3s1 rappa haver in existence I thank you for the depth this video provides. None of the other content creators have gone into detail into how to play rappa to maximize damage like this video does.
Huge W for Erudition mains. I have seen a lot of content from different creators who all said Rappa is mid but I liked her design so I got her anyway. When I tested her then and saw her DMG I was really mind blown and confused how so many people could be wrong about her. Just a normal day as a Erudition enjoyer ig. Thanks for spreading the good word about her. Also for Jade and Himeko who I love.
the moment fugue drops, rappa becomes the strongest break and exo toughness break character in the game her passive makes it insane and people realise how wrong they were immediately, at the same time the summon character team gains its best enabler and skyrockets to the most effective team in the game surpassing FUA and permanently altering many old characters values in the longrun
what summons even are there? jing yuan and topaz are the only dps that really come to mind. jing yuan wont become good enough to compete with feixiao and fua, and topaz likely would be better in feixiao teams. obv theyll probably release a new summon character but atm he’s not doing much for the non existent summon meta
@@aarushi2740 Yes, he isn't doing much now, I'd argue his best teams right now are outside summon (SP positive and 100% AV is great for Boothill teams) and probably will also be Lingsha+Jade in PF/AS. That being said, if leaks are right, we'll be getting just 1 Harmony in 3.x so Sunday is probably THE support for Summon meta, it'd be like skipping Ruan Mei when we're nearing Superbreak meta.
As 1 of the (very few) people who pulled Rappa because she seemed to have a fun kit to play around; thank you. Those tips to play her correctly will be very useful, and honestly I'm shocked at how well my Rappa performs atm considering that I've just stolen Boothill's relics when testing her (so she lacks stats to reach the goals but heh). I've always thought Rappa would be a very powerful units and that all the doomposting wasn't justified; thanks for proving me right. I've stopped watching leaks because of how the people doompost units for no reason in those communities lmao, I'm living a way better life now - I feel like they're just coping because as you said Sunday and Fugue are releasing soon and they gotta justify why they're skipping Rappa even though she's good. I thought I was subbed but I guess I was not, so let's go +1 sub o7
I'm really glad you did this video because I was using her wrong by ulting too fast. I completely forgot about the stacks she builds up. Gotta double check my atk as well, cause it might not be at exactly 3.2k. Thank you for all of your hard work on your guides, because even my underdog Himeko and Jade smash all games modes. Had I skipped Robin, i'd be kicking my self in the arse when Feixiao dropped. I'm still amazed at how much you optimze your teams per game mode, or even per boss. I really wish they would put in like a sets you could swap between so you didn't have to adjust relics/lightcones every single time :D
You mentioned my only reason on not pulling for her, I've been waiting for Sunday for too long, and don't wanna risk missing out on him. Rappa is the first break DPS that actually seems fun to play for me but as a F2P we gotta do what we gotta do. Thank you for the guide as always.
See, I was skeptical of rappas performance long term, because all content rn is favorable for her, especially MoC with the exo toughness. However, with fugue providing this exact same Benefit, I feel much better about her long term viability.
I have her and got is she fun. I do not own Ruan Mei and she still hits insane numbers with no limited eidolons. I will say without Ruan Mei she is slightly worse, but due to having baked in break efficiency, Ruan Mei is only a 25% increase in break speed. As far as replacements for Ruan Mei you can use JQ, SW, or Pela really competently. JQ is a ~30 increase in damage, SW can enable a really quick break of a single target with the benefits of stacking def down and res down, Pela is a really good f2p option against ice for reducing the defense. Nihility buffs her so much because she really wants an attacking support that can apply debuffs to enemies since buffs don’t work too well
I just started the game this summer and the most important thing I've learned is that 95% of the 'community' is ignorant or bad, and they're being dragged kicking and screaming by the 1% doing the math and the 4% spreading the right info around.
@@georgezhang1573 Something to do with the toughness DMG. You know, the entire point of S. break. DEF ignore stacks exponentially, but it's kinda mid at lower numbers. Her best teammates have no mean to get more of that number except eidolons. BE stacks diminishingly, and, to top it off, HMC gives a loooooot of BE already. But, Calvary is kinda good enough i guess?
Thanks for the guide, while watching i just randomly pulled a quick 10 on her LC and got it at 22 pity. Was just using eternal calculus and definitle used this. Lisara guide blessing!
Rappa e1s1 enjoyer here, Thank you for clearing the dazzle ninja reputation. The only doom rappa has is to not have no dazzle no break playing in game during ulti.
The first 42 seconds of this video burns so much, i doubt doomposters can recover their Toughness meter from that lmao Excellent guide as always! Rappa being doomposted to misery is one of my motivations for trying in her banner. Unfortunately i lost, but at least i am guaranteed now if those true herta stuff turn out to be true lmao
When i first saw her in the leaks, I thought she was like any other limited erudition units but after i watched some of her gameplay after her banner went live, i was blown away on how powerful she is especially the fact that she is a potent contender against firefly. Although, I'm a firefly main with her e2s1 and I know that meta is constantly changing so i still have to skip her for 3.x dps and sunday/fugue in the following patch (and also, she's not my type)
tysm for this! i rlly like her gameplay and her design overall, yet everyone i know tells me shes mid and is easily outpowered by other break dps. this was more than enough to convince me.
The long awaited guide has finally arrived! I learned so much from this, especially about her ultimate usage. I really thought that using her ultimate immediately was how you play her, but that is clearly not the case in this video. I do have a question. I'm planning on building my Guinaifen to pair her with Rappa (More specifically to kick Sunday's ass lol). What do you think is the best build for Gui in a super break team? Thank you so much for making this guide, I really appreciate the amount of effort you put into this 🔥
Yessss she's so good. And not only does she absolutely destroy end game content, she also doesn't share a ton of supports with other types of teams (hypercarry/FuA/what have you). I lost the 50/50 and almost didn't keep pulling, but decided to use my last 3 tickets and was lucky to get her in those (and only 10 for the light cone lol), and she's been so much fun to use. Thanks for the great guide and showcases with her Lisara!
My break team will forever be devoted to Firefly, but one thing that Rappa did that i love, is that she picked characters that i have painfully build and made them from "no longer needed" to "heroes" once again. Gallagher, hanya and tingyun that i have put so much effort to get them perfect relics, (but i no longer use in any situation), make for the best 2nd break team just for Rappa. Of course it's not on the same level as the MC, Ruan Mei & Lingsha but when these are busy, i love that i can use these other guys again.
As someone who enjoys breaking enemies and owns both Warframe Girlfriend and Dazzling Ninja, I appreciate these guides very much. Now I don't have to worry if my roster isn't all that blessed with nice characters. At least even 4 stars can break enemy nuts. You earned my sub.
regardless of power, i was definitely planning to pull her on rerun- great design, awesome animations, and would pair super well with the lingsha on my acct. gotta save for a certain other erudition queen, but im glad i'll have this to come back to when i finally get rappa so i can use her to her fullest potential
Got her at E0S1 and shes by far the most fun character i have, and ive played since week 1 basically. Fugue is about to make her even more insane, just permanently ulting 😂
Loved this! I dont understand why ppl doompost her so much just because she cant break aswell as firefly or boothill. Shes erudition for a reason! And the fact that she has a passive that increases with the amount of weakness broken enemies just screams that rappa needs a friend to break the enemies quickly.
It's because fire and physical elements have bigger break DMG multipliers than imaginary element. Literally in the game formula. And Boothill and Firefly have weakness implants while Rappa doesn't. Not saying that Rappa is mid but it's not like Rappa doomposting is totally illogical
@orangenoob2768 I would argue that img break's low multiplier doesnt matter that much because she makes up for it with her passive (also imo firefly's actual break dmg kinda sucks to the point where rappa can compete). Also, having no weakness implants just further proves the point that rappa needs another ally to break. That doesnt mean that rappa is bad, shes just different. To me, it just seemed like rappa doomposters didnt read her kit. Sorry if this came off as arguing, i just wanted to share my thoughts.
She’s actually insanely good. Like she just need at most 1 limited character in her team and the fact that the Imaginary delay scales with Break Effect? Like she has a built in RuanMei in her Burst mode. I’m using SW Rappa HMC Gallagher SP positive to balanced. Not afraid of enemies w/o imaginary weaknesses. Gallagher’s sp gen is just insane i can straight up use SW implantations every turn like yeah She’s a great accident so far (i wasnt intend to get her. But she came home early so yeah. Sunday and Herta 5 star funds be sweating profusely :)))
While I do believe in Rappa's potential, I don't think current Hoolay is a fair showcase of what she is capable of, since the MoC has Exo-Toughness buffs that let her build twice as many stacks as she is normally allowed to, and does massive ST damage at the start of every cycle. This makes her ST performance look much better than it would otherwise be. However, if she could acquire Exo-Toughness beyond just this MoC buff, then I don't doubt her strength there. Personally, I'm skipping her for Sunday/Fugue, but looking forward to her potential as future patches come along.
Hold on, Rappa’s E2 should be _multaplicative_ with weakness break efficiency? Man, Hoyo needs to work on their phrasing since I didn’t catch the word differentiation. Felt like something that would be diluted with Ruan Mei and Rappa’s weakness break efficiency, but that makes it way better.
Boothill's is also toughness reduction instead of efficiency which is why pairing him with RM suddenly makes his toughness damage just become so absurd.
I was converted into a Rappa enjoyer after playing through the story quests. I always did like her design but since I already had Firefly I simply felt I didn't need her. After the quest and trying her out for myself tho? Probably the most fun unit in the game. I'm now a proud Rappa main.
Thank you ! Not having any Break oriented unit (besides HarmonyMC), i was considering Boothill But if Rappa can perform well in all 3 modes, she might be a better deal (will have to pick up Ruan Mei first though...)
Tbh, you should add honorable mention about the 3 Star Eruditon LC that gives energy when using skill. Reminds me of Boothill's case using 3 Star/No LC at all, right before they add the dedicated Lightcone for Break Hunt Character The only cons about the 3 Star LC for Rappa is prob the fact it has low base stats compared to Charmony and etc
Hi Lisara! I want to know what are your thoughts about the new abundance lightcone "Dream's Montage" which gives speed and energy, this new lightcone makes sense for Lingsha? at S1/S3/S5?.
As a F2P only person Hoyo been kicking my butt with the characters they been releasing lately. Feixiao being so good that I pulled her despite her being FUA based. Rappa being so good that I want her even tho I'm not that into break or erudition characters. You opened my eyes to Rappa and Lingsha. Maybe someday I will switch my account pulling from "meta" to "fun" and start enjoying these characters on my own account.
Having feixiao and robin on the same phase is just plain dick move by them, i couldnt even consider pulling for lingsha and rappa due to my entire stash getting robbed
@@wat6440 Yeah that's why I'm grabbing Sunday. I'm never skipping a support ever again if I can help it. Going for a support on a rerun is so much worse than a dps imo.
Seems like all the Break dps goes through the same fate. Gets doomposted before release, gets doomposted when they're out, continues to get doomposted while crushing endgame content. Heck, FF still gets the same treatment
@@RaxuOnlineI've seen many instance where people complained that Firefly is only good because many of the enemies is fire weak and once it's not she will dropped off
@@SkolladrumRappa suffers more if the enemy not imaginary weakness. Not the other way around as firefly can implant weakness. Also Gallagher and lingsha both are on fire.. so it is pretty much complement each other.. The only things that worth mentioning.. is a bit of lower dmg because firefly weakness implant dont reduce fire resistant of the enemy like silverwolf implant.. which make the enemy as it natively weak to that element implant. As long u can break the enemy.. rappa stonk. Same as firefly.
@@SyrFlora problem is, with firefly, she can only implant weakness when its her turn and only on the targeted enemy (even if her skill attack 3 only the targetted one got fire weakness and the other two while their toughness bar is reduced they dont get the weakness) so if theres more than 1 enemy without fire weakness she kind of fell off (lingsha or gall doesn't help in this case as those other non fire weak enemy wont be broken which mean their dmg suffer as well). This is especially true if you bring the standard superbreak team FF/RM/HMC/Sustain. Just try bringing FF to the CoC of her relic sets for example, the second half you'll defeat the boss first but the wolf will stay alive as it's not weak to fire
@@Skolladrum it not a big deal to be honest as she can implant the weakness on 2nd elite easily as she quite fast. On pure fiction yeah she is not that great.. But to be honest.. if the enemy is not weak to fire.. break team just feels hard on rappa. Because lingsha and Gallagher..is fire.. Until we got new break support on other elements
Ah yes, Lingsha. Honorary Erudition. Thank you for the Guide! With the soon release of Fugue, Rappa is just starting to get the hang on walking so she can Naruto-Run in the future.
As someone who play 2 accounts i'm really happy with Rappa performance because I already decided to try E6 her. Shame that Topaz is not a main damage dealer she's my ultimate waifu in HSR and my priority in first account (E3S1)
nice video overall, I would like ask though: 1. Would you recommend rappa for FF owners tho, since it's kinda role overlap(?)? 2. Would you recommend rappa if you only have S1 charmony or the herta shop LC (cus it seems her LC is such a big buff that she feels gimped too much without it? and charmony is hard to guarantee on high Superimpose) Edit: 3. I would like to see jade with rappa debt collector against sunday xd, may be jank since both do different type of dmg
Between eternal calculus, himeko's signature, and s1 charmony (don't have any copy of this atm) which one would you recommend. Also thanks this guide helped me decide on where to farm for planar set double drop event
E1 with S5 After the Charmony Fall She does damage almost the same as my firefly to non imaginary weak enemies, she is really good, i will pull for fugue e1, so thats the reason i didnt pulled for her e2, fugue e1 literally is just a better version of rappa´s e2 and its a support, so thats even more valuable Good luck if you still arent lucky with rappa, hope she appears on your gacha like a true ninja she is !!
We love to see Erudition resurgence!! Lis, from a meta perspective do you think I should pull Rappa or wait out Fugue/Sunday. I already have Jade for AOE and Feixiao for ST. I also have RM's LC. Been figuring out if I should get me one of the 3 5-star Break units since I don't have any of them and I don't see Hoyo retiring break modes in the near future. What do you think?
If your resources are very limited, I suggest skip Rappa for Sunday. I've said this on every Harmony guide I made but no one should be skipping any limited Harmony.
@LisaraScarlet At 3:45 you said "Remember that getting an extra action is not the same as immediately taking action" sounds confusing, since it is in fact an immediate action. It makes more sense "as not being the same as 100% advance foward".
Nope, I am using in-game terms to make things less confusing. Also, extra action, immediately taking action and 100% advance forward are 3 different things. Extra actions is a term taken from bosses who suddenly takes action when conditions are met. As most already knows, this is an action that isn't really counted as a turn since it doesn't use up any buff/debuff duration. Immediately taking action disregards any action delay a character has received. For example, even if a character got action delayed to oblivion, as long as the buff they receive says "immediately take action", they WILL get pushed to 0 action value and take action. This is written SPECIFICALLY in Bronya's skill or Robin's ultimate. 100% advance forward as it already implies is just a 100% advance forward. If a character is currently at 30% over 100% of their action value and got action delayed by 50%, they would be now sitting at 30% over 150%. If they receive a 100% advance forward, they would be pushed to 130% over 150% which means they still won't be able to act immediately.
I'm currently conflicted right now, I currently have E1S1 acheron and i want to get E2 acheron, but alot of people in my discord servers are saying she's not worth it without sparkle, who I don't have. And seeing with the patterns of all endgame contents, I feel like rappa is also really worth it. I don't know if I should get Rappa or Acheron at this point, even though I have boothill but i don't think he's gonna compete with other units that can deal AOE damage rn.
Not a Rappa main I've a doomed acount but thanks for the guide It's annoying to see a char you know strong to get doomposted for nothing And good explaination of stack :], that's kinda the main gimmick of Rappa and ppl tend to forgot it aya
Would you go against the sentiment that Rappa is a mediocre/bad unit against content that has neither Fire nor Imaginary weakness element (all examples used do not fit this criteria)? I'm curious. BTW, I'm trying to optimize her SPD to Break Effect ratio, so I'm wondering if there is any point in going above 150+ SPD. I use her with Charmony S1 LC and Ruan Mei and I only have 2 DDD LCs (S2 and S1).
She can definitely be a lot harder to use against content that isn't weak to both those elements. I thought about this before and I think she would most likely have to go with a sustainless team and simply rely on RM for sustain. Then, you bring another strong toughness damage dealer as Rappa's pair. As for speed tuning, it really really depends on the strats but if your tuning can help you maintain 160 speed, it should already be good if you're trying to do 1+1 cycle clears.
is it possible for ruan mei to be replaced in a team though if you do enough toughness damage with the replacement? i already have firefly and would rather not pull a unit that competes for the all the same characters if possible but idk if replacing ruan mei is copium or not. nice guide as usual btw
Above below statement other than sig weap does other choice need to be s5 to be viable ? And stacking thoughness bar break on her with low Investment (mainly spd stat on team overall) is it still doable to make it at least 3-4 cycle clear moc where she is in other moc buff stage ? Already have e2s1 firefly so i can skip Rappa for other character, i wont beable to share ruan mei and mc anyway, and i'm broke on Jades to get e0s0 rappa
My habit of skipping "PF characters" has really started catching up to me. This time I hobbled over the finish line with 60800 points, tried a bunch of teams but the only one that could break 20k on the first half was Feixiao lol. The weaknesses really stink on that side for me, but thankfully Himeko, Herta, E1 Robin and E1 RM hit 38k the second half before they all fell. I've been curious about Rappa for a while now. Do you feel like she'll always perform great in PF even in off element fights where you don't have much help with toughness break from her teammates (like our current 1st half)? If so I might go for her to future proof that mode...
@ ok thanks for your answer, I thought maybe trash mobs were easy enough for her to clear in one EBA even off element. Still, I guess as long as you can find a character with decent AoE toughness break their element should be covered.
Lisara do you know at what superimposition Charmony Fall overtakes S5 Eternal Calculus? I have one copy, but I assume it's probably not beating EC at S1.

Erudition just happens to have some of the most worst/ mid limited 5* before Rappa.

I have her and got is she fun. I do not own Ruan Mei and she still hits insane numbers with no limited eidolons. I will say without Ruan Mei she is slightly worse, but due to having baked in break efficiency, Ruan Mei is only a 25% increase in break speed.
As far as replacements for Ruan Mei you can use JQ, SW, or Pela really competently. JQ is a ~30 increase in damage, SW can enable a really quick break of a single target with the benefits of stacking def down and res down, Pela is a really good f2p option against ice for reducing the defense. Nihility buffs her so much because she really wants an attacking support that can apply debuffs to enemies since buffs don’t work too well
lets gooo Rappa guide :DD!!
I just started the game this summer and the most important thing I've learned is that 95% of the 'community' is ignorant or bad, and they're being dragged kicking and screaming by the 1% doing the math and the 4% spreading the right info around.
I loved Erudition since 1.0 and still never changes
manifesting her own relic set 🗿
4pc set : increase BA weakness break efficiency by 50% and break dmg to broken enemies by 20% 🗿 ( Can be a buff for Dhil too)
@@sadcatto3nah that’s too good. Make the break efficiency 25%
Cavalry is literally made for superbreak, what else could you even want?
@@georgezhang1573 Something to do with the toughness DMG. You know, the entire point of S. break. DEF ignore stacks exponentially, but it's kinda mid at lower numbers. Her best teammates have no mean to get more of that number except eidolons. BE stacks diminishingly, and, to top it off, HMC gives a loooooot of BE already. But, Calvary is kinda good enough i guess?
As a Rappa's main, I thank you, truly.
Erudition is my Ninja Way. Erudition mains represent!
Thank you for this lovely guide❤, I really respect the effort in the quality of your guides
As someone who got her and her lc in just…~40 pulls… I am so happy to announce that I am a proud rappa haver.
Thanks for the guide, while watching i just randomly pulled a quick 10 on her LC and got it at 22 pity. Was just using eternal calculus and definitle used this. Lisara guide blessing!
Rappa e1s1 enjoyer here, Thank you for clearing the dazzle ninja reputation.
The only doom rappa has is to not have no dazzle no break playing in game during ulti.
The first 42 seconds of this video burns so much, i doubt doomposters can recover their Toughness meter from that lmao
Excellent guide as always! Rappa being doomposted to misery is one of my motivations for trying in her banner. Unfortunately i lost, but at least i am guaranteed now if those true herta stuff turn out to be true lmao
0:01 - 0:02 tl;dr in one second. Truly the guidemaker of all time
When i first saw her in the leaks, I thought she was like any other limited erudition units but after i watched some of her gameplay after her banner went live, i was blown away on how powerful she is especially the fact that she is a potent contender against firefly. Although, I'm a firefly main with her e2s1 and I know that meta is constantly changing so i still have to skip her for 3.x dps and sunday/fugue in the following patch (and also, she's not my type)
I love you for this video and defending Rappa ❤
You make hsr a better game, I love you lisara 😭
tysm for this! i rlly like her gameplay and her design overall, yet everyone i know tells me shes mid and is easily outpowered by other break dps. this was more than enough to convince me.
The long awaited guide has finally arrived! I learned so much from this, especially about her ultimate usage. I really thought that using her ultimate immediately was how you play her, but that is clearly not the case in this video.
I do have a question. I'm planning on building my Guinaifen to pair her with Rappa (More specifically to kick Sunday's ass lol). What do you think is the best build for Gui in a super break team? Thank you so much for making this guide, I really appreciate the amount of effort you put into this 🔥
Same as my Lingsha build in the 1-cycle Hoolay clear. Eagle set with 2pc Kalpagni, ER rope and build her as much break and speed as you can.
As one of the 13 E1R1 rappa main, I thank you.
I have been waiting for this ❤
Yessss she's so good. And not only does she absolutely destroy end game content, she also doesn't share a ton of supports with other types of teams (hypercarry/FuA/what have you). I lost the 50/50 and almost didn't keep pulling, but decided to use my last 3 tickets and was lucky to get her in those (and only 10 for the light cone lol), and she's been so much fun to use. Thanks for the great guide and showcases with her Lisara!
That is so clutch, congrats!
My break team will forever be devoted to Firefly, but one thing that Rappa did that i love, is that she picked characters that i have painfully build and made them from "no longer needed" to "heroes" once again.
Gallagher, hanya and tingyun that i have put so much effort to get them perfect relics, (but i no longer use in any situation), make for the best 2nd break team just for Rappa.
Of course it's not on the same level as the MC, Ruan Mei & Lingsha but when these are busy, i love that i can use these other guys again.
The statetic classes blessed me with e1 rappa with her lc
Rappa is so mid man, she doesn't even do aoe damage she just has a weird slow debuff and looks like a middle aged man for some reason.. wait...
uncle yang seeing u in the cornee💀
This hurt me cause i lose to him 😢
@@Tosca364Same, but I accept it
Me inhaling copium after losing 50/50 to him
Finally, the guide i was waiting for
Finally, Rappa guide
As a rappa main, thank you!!!
When you want Erudition, go the genius society member number 90 Lisara.
As someone who enjoys breaking enemies and owns both Warframe Girlfriend and Dazzling Ninja, I appreciate these guides very much. Now I don't have to worry if my roster isn't all that blessed with nice characters. At least even 4 stars can break enemy nuts. You earned my sub.
Yoooo finally!!
I believe in Rappa supremacy 🙏
regardless of power, i was definitely planning to pull her on rerun- great design, awesome animations, and would pair super well with the lingsha on my acct. gotta save for a certain other erudition queen, but im glad i'll have this to come back to when i finally get rappa so i can use her to her fullest potential
Got her at E0S1 and shes by far the most fun character i have, and ive played since week 1 basically. Fugue is about to make her even more insane, just permanently ulting 😂
I am planning to pair my E2S1 Rappa with Fugue and Boothill. Bout to go crazzzyyyyy
Loved this! I dont understand why ppl doompost her so much just because she cant break aswell as firefly or boothill. Shes erudition for a reason! And the fact that she has a passive that increases with the amount of weakness broken enemies just screams that rappa needs a friend to break the enemies quickly.
It's because fire and physical elements have bigger break DMG multipliers than imaginary element. Literally in the game formula. And Boothill and Firefly have weakness implants while Rappa doesn't. Not saying that Rappa is mid but it's not like Rappa doomposting is totally illogical
@orangenoob2768 I would argue that img break's low multiplier doesnt matter that much because she makes up for it with her passive (also imo firefly's actual break dmg kinda sucks to the point where rappa can compete). Also, having no weakness implants just further proves the point that rappa needs another ally to break. That doesnt mean that rappa is bad, shes just different. To me, it just seemed like rappa doomposters didnt read her kit. Sorry if this came off as arguing, i just wanted to share my thoughts.
first limited erudition i pulled. no regrets
She’s actually insanely good. Like she just need at most 1 limited character in her team and the fact that the Imaginary delay scales with Break Effect?
Like she has a built in RuanMei in her Burst mode.
I’m using
SW Rappa HMC Gallagher
SP positive to balanced. Not afraid of enemies w/o imaginary weaknesses. Gallagher’s sp gen is just insane i can straight up use SW implantations every turn like yeah
She’s a great accident so far (i wasnt intend to get her. But she came home early so yeah. Sunday and Herta 5 star funds be sweating profusely :)))
Upon fugue release.. this ninja will skyrocket her damage potential
While I do believe in Rappa's potential, I don't think current Hoolay is a fair showcase of what she is capable of, since the MoC has Exo-Toughness buffs that let her build twice as many stacks as she is normally allowed to, and does massive ST damage at the start of every cycle. This makes her ST performance look much better than it would otherwise be.
However, if she could acquire Exo-Toughness beyond just this MoC buff, then I don't doubt her strength there. Personally, I'm skipping her for Sunday/Fugue, but looking forward to her potential as future patches come along.
This guide is peak bro🙏
The best dazzling ninja
Damn, after watching this I really want to pull Rappa, great guide
Hold on, Rappa’s E2 should be _multaplicative_ with weakness break efficiency? Man, Hoyo needs to work on their phrasing since I didn’t catch the word differentiation.
Felt like something that would be diluted with Ruan Mei and Rappa’s weakness break efficiency, but that makes it way better.
Boothill's is also toughness reduction instead of efficiency which is why pairing him with RM suddenly makes his toughness damage just become so absurd.
I was converted into a Rappa enjoyer after playing through the story quests. I always did like her design but since I already had Firefly I simply felt I didn't need her.
After the quest and trying her out for myself tho? Probably the most fun unit in the game.
I'm now a proud Rappa main.
I got Rappa even though I have Firefly, and I must say, she is really strong. doomposter be doomposting, I am chilling with my 2 Super Break waifus
Why do you sound so PRO! *I'm new here* But you sound like you do voice work, and good voice work.
Thank you but unfortunately, it is AI voice but I hope you don't let that stop you from enjoying the videos!
@@LisaraScarlet :O AI is getting scary good. Insane xD.
@@LisaraScarlet And I like the information by the by. I need it cause everyone skipped Rappa sadly. I didn't, she's cool!
If Acheron wasn't right around the corner, I'd pull for her.
Thank you! Rappa Fugue soon❤
Thank you !
Not having any Break oriented unit (besides HarmonyMC), i was considering Boothill
But if Rappa can perform well in all 3 modes, she might be a better deal (will have to pick up Ruan Mei first though...)
I just love Rappa and how she's the first character to help me 0 cycle in my account (2 costs 0 cycle which I made a vid about :wink:)
Tbh, you should add honorable mention about the 3 Star Eruditon LC that gives energy when using skill. Reminds me of Boothill's case using 3 Star/No LC at all, right before they add the dedicated Lightcone for Break Hunt Character
The only cons about the 3 Star LC for Rappa is prob the fact it has low base stats compared to Charmony and etc
Superbreak is too good. Rappa being a superbreak dps makes her inherently broken.
Hi Lisara!
I want to know what are your thoughts about the new abundance lightcone "Dream's Montage" which gives speed and energy, this new lightcone makes sense for Lingsha? at S1/S3/S5?.
It's quite good for her superbreak build at any rank.
THANK YOUUUU
After watching this I pulled and won 50 50 LFGGGGGGG!!! I HAVE THE LISARA BUFF
How good would you say Xueyi is as a Ruan Mei replacement for helping Rappa break more often?
If you are replacing Ruan Mei, use a Nihility. Xueyi is a very selfish damage dealer who rather be in a hypercarry setup.
As a F2P only person Hoyo been kicking my butt with the characters they been releasing lately. Feixiao being so good that I pulled her despite her being FUA based. Rappa being so good that I want her even tho I'm not that into break or erudition characters. You opened my eyes to Rappa and Lingsha. Maybe someday I will switch my account pulling from "meta" to "fun" and start enjoying these characters on my own account.
Having feixiao and robin on the same phase is just plain dick move by them, i couldnt even consider pulling for lingsha and rappa due to my entire stash getting robbed
@@wat6440 Yeah that's why I'm grabbing Sunday. I'm never skipping a support ever again if I can help it. Going for a support on a rerun is so much worse than a dps imo.
Seems like all the Break dps goes through the same fate. Gets doomposted before release, gets doomposted when they're out, continues to get doomposted while crushing endgame content. Heck, FF still gets the same treatment
What communities are you in? Lol
FIrefly is largely considered a contender for strongest dps, S tier or T0 if you go by Prydwen
@@RaxuOnlineI've seen many instance where people complained that Firefly is only good because many of the enemies is fire weak and once it's not she will dropped off
@@SkolladrumRappa suffers more if the enemy not imaginary weakness. Not the other way around as firefly can implant weakness. Also Gallagher and lingsha both are on fire.. so it is pretty much complement each other.. The only things that worth mentioning.. is a bit of lower dmg because firefly weakness implant dont reduce fire resistant of the enemy like silverwolf implant.. which make the enemy as it natively weak to that element implant.
As long u can break the enemy.. rappa stonk. Same as firefly.
@@SyrFlora problem is, with firefly, she can only implant weakness when its her turn and only on the targeted enemy (even if her skill attack 3 only the targetted one got fire weakness and the other two while their toughness bar is reduced they dont get the weakness) so if theres more than 1 enemy without fire weakness she kind of fell off (lingsha or gall doesn't help in this case as those other non fire weak enemy wont be broken which mean their dmg suffer as well).
This is especially true if you bring the standard superbreak team FF/RM/HMC/Sustain. Just try bringing FF to the CoC of her relic sets for example, the second half you'll defeat the boss first but the wolf will stay alive as it's not weak to fire
@@Skolladrum it not a big deal to be honest as she can implant the weakness on 2nd elite easily as she quite fast. On pure fiction yeah she is not that great..
But to be honest.. if the enemy is not weak to fire.. break team just feels hard on rappa. Because lingsha and Gallagher..is fire..
Until we got new break support on other elements
Ah yes, Lingsha. Honorary Erudition.
Thank you for the Guide! With the soon release of Fugue, Rappa is just starting to get the hang on walking so she can Naruto-Run in the future.
As someone who play 2 accounts i'm really happy with Rappa performance because I already decided to try E6 her. Shame that Topaz is not a main damage dealer she's my ultimate waifu in HSR and my priority in first account (E3S1)
nice video overall, I would like ask though:
1. Would you recommend rappa for FF owners tho, since it's kinda role overlap(?)?
2. Would you recommend rappa if you only have S1 charmony or the herta shop LC (cus it seems her LC is such a big buff that she feels gimped too much without it? and charmony is hard to guarantee on high Superimpose)
Edit:
3. I would like to see jade with rappa debt collector against sunday xd, may be jank since both do different type of dmg
1. If you're having a hard time in PF, get Rappa since FF is not really good in PF.
2. Yes, even S1 Charmony is already good for her.
Very nice guide! Out of curiosity, how much of a drop is Charmony Fall vs Rappa's sig? The action advance seems very significant overall.
Not much difference if it's S1 vs S5 Charmony.
Between eternal calculus, himeko's signature, and s1 charmony (don't have any copy of this atm) which one would you recommend. Also thanks this guide helped me decide on where to farm for planar set double drop event
Charmony.
Hi lisara great video as always. So do you think rappa is playable without hmc and ruan mei (for my firefly break team)?
She can be but it's definitely gonna make her less efficient.
E1 with S5 After the Charmony Fall
She does damage almost the same as my firefly to non imaginary weak enemies, she is really good, i will pull for fugue e1, so thats the reason i didnt pulled for her e2, fugue e1 literally is just a better version of rappa´s e2 and its a support, so thats even more valuable
Good luck if you still arent lucky with rappa, hope she appears on your gacha like a true ninja she is !!
We love to see Erudition resurgence!! Lis, from a meta perspective do you think I should pull Rappa or wait out Fugue/Sunday. I already have Jade for AOE and Feixiao for ST. I also have RM's LC. Been figuring out if I should get me one of the 3 5-star Break units since I don't have any of them and I don't see Hoyo retiring break modes in the near future. What do you think?
If your resources are very limited, I suggest skip Rappa for Sunday. I've said this on every Harmony guide I made but no one should be skipping any limited Harmony.
should i pull for rappa if i alr have boothill? since he kinda also needs rm
Boothill is a very strong ST but I'm sure you already know that he cannot participate in every end-game content. Rappa could cover for that.
@LisaraScarlet At 3:45 you said "Remember that getting an extra action is not the same as immediately taking action" sounds confusing, since it is in fact an immediate action. It makes more sense "as not being the same as 100% advance foward".
Nope, I am using in-game terms to make things less confusing. Also, extra action, immediately taking action and 100% advance forward are 3 different things.
Extra actions is a term taken from bosses who suddenly takes action when conditions are met. As most already knows, this is an action that isn't really counted as a turn since it doesn't use up any buff/debuff duration.
Immediately taking action disregards any action delay a character has received. For example, even if a character got action delayed to oblivion, as long as the buff they receive says "immediately take action", they WILL get pushed to 0 action value and take action. This is written SPECIFICALLY in Bronya's skill or Robin's ultimate.
100% advance forward as it already implies is just a 100% advance forward. If a character is currently at 30% over 100% of their action value and got action delayed by 50%, they would be now sitting at 30% over 150%. If they receive a 100% advance forward, they would be pushed to 130% over 150% which means they still won't be able to act immediately.
I would get rappa, I love break teams, but I need another sustain and aventurine is coming up lmao
I'm currently conflicted right now, I currently have E1S1 acheron and i want to get E2 acheron, but alot of people in my discord servers are saying she's not worth it without sparkle, who I don't have. And seeing with the patterns of all endgame contents, I feel like rappa is also really worth it. I don't know if I should get Rappa or Acheron at this point, even though I have boothill but i don't think he's gonna compete with other units that can deal AOE damage rn.
Update: Couldn't resist the temptation and got Yanqing, now I'm sobbing on the floor.
Well you can try to get E2 Acheron tho
Acheron doesn't need Sparkle nor her eidolons.
thanks for lingsha showcase
Not even mad. Lingsha is my favourite character right now
@@LisaraScarlet based same
I don't even know why I pulled Lingsha (I have pretty much every sustain in the game), but I'm glad I did. Her fire damage is significant.
@@yavnrh Lingsha might prove herself as the true and only T0 sustain soon enough ... We'll just have to wait a bit more ...
Not a Rappa main I've a doomed acount but thanks for the guide It's annoying to see a char you know strong to get doomposted for nothing
And good explaination of stack :], that's kinda the main gimmick of Rappa and ppl tend to forgot it aya
Waiting for a certain Erudition character to dominate in the future
cant wait for fugue
Would you go against the sentiment that Rappa is a mediocre/bad unit against content that has neither Fire nor Imaginary weakness element (all examples used do not fit this criteria)? I'm curious.
BTW, I'm trying to optimize her SPD to Break Effect ratio, so I'm wondering if there is any point in going above 150+ SPD. I use her with Charmony S1 LC and Ruan Mei and I only have 2 DDD LCs (S2 and S1).
She can definitely be a lot harder to use against content that isn't weak to both those elements. I thought about this before and I think she would most likely have to go with a sustainless team and simply rely on RM for sustain. Then, you bring another strong toughness damage dealer as Rappa's pair.
As for speed tuning, it really really depends on the strats but if your tuning can help you maintain 160 speed, it should already be good if you're trying to do 1+1 cycle clears.
is it possible for ruan mei to be replaced in a team though if you do enough toughness damage with the replacement? i already have firefly and would rather not pull a unit that competes for the all the same characters if possible but idk if replacing ruan mei is copium or not. nice guide as usual btw
With a Nihility, you can.
Above below statement other than sig weap does other choice need to be s5 to be viable ?
And stacking thoughness bar break on her with low Investment (mainly spd stat on team overall) is it still doable to make it at least 3-4 cycle clear moc where she is in other moc buff stage ?
Already have e2s1 firefly so i can skip Rappa for other character, i wont beable to share ruan mei and mc anyway, and i'm broke on Jades to get e0s0 rappa
Charmony Fall can be at lower ranks and would still be very effective on Rappa.
Gotta stay strong for fugue✊✊
My habit of skipping "PF characters" has really started catching up to me. This time I hobbled over the finish line with 60800 points, tried a bunch of teams but the only one that could break 20k on the first half was Feixiao lol. The weaknesses really stink on that side for me, but thankfully Himeko, Herta, E1 Robin and E1 RM hit 38k the second half before they all fell. I've been curious about Rappa for a while now. Do you feel like she'll always perform great in PF even in off element fights where you don't have much help with toughness break from her teammates (like our current 1st half)? If so I might go for her to future proof that mode...
I don't think she is omnipotent to not only fight off-element but also barely get help from teammate. That LITERALLY applies to every character.
@ ok thanks for your answer, I thought maybe trash mobs were easy enough for her to clear in one EBA even off element. Still, I guess as long as you can find a character with decent AoE toughness break their element should be covered.
Lisara do you know at what superimposition Charmony Fall overtakes S5 Eternal Calculus? I have one copy, but I assume it's probably not beating EC at S1.
I'd take S1 Charmony over S5 Eternal Calculus unless you're really lacking attack stats to reach 3200 attack.
The fact that Rappa is great against the Puppets only makes her better since EVERY MOC spams that boss.
Great guide. As a Rappa main, I salute you. 🫡
