[wormytoast]

[fictionfixations]

doing yunli's story quest

i think it has a different name but tbh genshin was like my first actual gacha game i was really committed to so expect me to refer to things in genshin terms unless i can remember the equivalent in the game im playing.

lmao

OHHH cause we never got to know what the sword looked like

..huh.

argenti i love you but why are you literally everywhere

actually this is probably why he appears in the wardance event

??? when she said hanguang (earlier, screenshot underneath this screenshot) i had a hunch that it mightve been her father with the way she reacted.

it probably is a cursed sword though. i know shes making a scene but who cares if its a threat to someone's safety? theres this like side quest that happens after wardance where we say goodbye to everyone returning to their own xianzhou ships (fu xuan also returns) and yunli and yanqing talked about the sword a bit and she didnt seem to have anything against it so i guess it gets solved in this

holy fucking shit you can hear swords slashing and screaming in the background

whats the blade of forged remnants? OH ITS HER SWORD old mettle

why am i struggling so hard im

NOOOOOOO. you do not understand my absolute HATRED for fights against argenti or yanqing. (well i hate sunday's too but hes just a weekly boss. argenti and yanqing can be pulled out whenever) its the having multiple smaller enemies... aAaaaaaa

my team is getting their ass beat i cant

tingyun is so fucking squishy she and robin keep dying after each other😭

i dont have a team that can win this om. the ONLY character i have built that he has weakness against is ROBIN. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

i dont have herta built. i despise his shields with a passion. i cant do enough damage 😭

i cant continue the story D:

in all fairness i was also stuck on sundays boss battle for a lONG time (only managed because every single turn i had lynx heal to build up her ult as fast as possible. but im doing that method right now and its still not working 😭. i also had to switch in dr ratio for more imaginary weakness but i cant do that here cause they arent buILT.)

it also wouldnt matter if the character was built or not with aventurine cause they wouldnt immediately die at least but i dont have him hHHHH

...wwwhy did you target my only damage dealers wtf man. itd be a different story if he was really close to dying but hes NOT imfioahdwsauiodj

OH MY GOD I FORGOT THIS WAS A THING. i kept quitting before i could hit the defeat screen

i forgot to mention it but argenti is like being possessed by the heliobus in the cursed sword

his voice sounds oddly familiar. i wanna say it sounds like ben (moze's and kaveh's va) but it also feels like its not his voice theres just a quality of it that reminds me of ben's? i might be completely wrong

ohh

oh thats fair

i see

this felt. really short tbh. its been like what? an hour at least?

oh...

thats sweet

[xxfillerxx]

So I'm close to making a 90 pull stack of resources. My question is: out of the current and future banners, who do I pull for? I was thinking Aventurine since I managed to play him using a friend's support and he seems really strong. I could pull for someone like say Sunday, but if he needs specific characters built around him that I need to pull, it could take a while to utilise him. My current stock of characters are: Natasha, Gerpard, Xueyi, Trailblazer (phys/fire/imaginary), herta, serval, dan heng, Clara, himeko, gallagher, guinaifen, asta, pela, tingyun (4*), sampo, misha, march, hanya, luka, arlan, qingque, lynx & yukong.

Notes:

current play method is binges inbetween breaks, so a couple weeks inbetween a month or 2.

Want to focus on stronger teams, dont really have any characters i want to pull for aesthetics or anything

currently using natasha and gerpard as healer-shield ALWAYS so far, with the characters listed above down to dan heng being played in last 2 spots depending on the elements required.

willing to farm resources as a F2P

current level equilibrium level 2 at trailblaze levl 39, finished xianzhou story. Characters average 50/40 lvl. If that means anything for my current strength needs.

Asking bc most guides have "pull for X character if you have Y and Z to make a good team" when i dont really have any. Also apparently posting these questions on the hsr subreddit gets your post automatically removed so hi tumblr

I will gather materials for my pretty wife I will build her trust. Robin and DHIL will be put on a temp hold(again) lol. Ngl I skipped three characters around the time Sunday got leaked. Feixiao, Jade and Rappa tbh I didn’t really find them all that fun and I didn’t have characters that went well with them so I just skipped. Also I believe most of the Jade hate was because she was announced and not Sunday. She’s so fine but I couldn’t get into her play style. Mydei, Phainon, and Castorice are my next goals fr. I will also attempt to make progress on the other characters I wanna build. There’s also a beautiful man that’s gonna be playable and introduced soon named Anaxa and he’s also on my to get list lol. I’ve only read leaks on him but he’s fine lol. ITS TOTALLY FINE! I was just curious if you were into/invested in other games I need more distractions fr.

CALEB OMG. Ok so he’s everything what people expected Sylus to be. He’s a Yandere like totally obsessed with us. AND SOME OF HIS VOICELINES ARE SO FREAKY 😫😫. In the main story he talked about keeping us to himself, like locking us up to keep us with him. Here’s Direct quote from the man himself “if you wanna return to the past, we’ll rebuild our old house together and move in together. And if one house isn’t enough I’ll build you a whole maze. I’ll decorate it with everything you could ever want. It will be the most beautiful, stunning garden you’ve ever seen. No one will be able to find you ever again. I’ll protect you forever.” there was also a bond moment where he admitted to intentionally locking us up in the attic as kids. This man is obsessed. What kinda upset me was all the hate he got before he was released talking about no one wanted him as a love interest and that it was weird because he was basically a brother (which they were never raised as siblings so wtf) people really switched up when it was revealed that he has a mechanical arm. He’s very Winter Soldier coded according to people. TELL ME IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HIS CARDS I WILL HAPPILY YAP!!!

-Mammon anon

I DID SKIP FEIXIAO WHEN SUNDAY CAME OUT… but I got her on the rerun!! I really love her she’s such a good character to me and I also really enjoyed her kit. IT SEEMS LIKE WERE COMPLETELY OPPOSITE ON HOW WE PLAY SKSKSK who’s your main team?

Blade has always been my favorite so my main team that I built to completion first was Blade, Tingyun, Sparkle (another fave of mine she is so tiny goblin girlfriend) and Luocha AND I KNOW PEOPLE DONT REALLY FW BLADE ANYMORE but my blade still manages to pull off some crazy dmg so maybe they just can’t handle my babygirl 💅🏻

And then I have my Sunday team that I mentioned before bc now algaea’s on it. I might switch out Robin for Bronya if I ever build Bronya, because I try not to let my teams crossover too much

And then my Feixiao team! Feixiao, Moze, Robin, Aventurine

I’d really like to build my Argenti and get him on a good team AND I REALLY NEED SOME GOOD ICE CHARACTERS. I love Yanqing he is so son but I need more like… aoe and less single target characters THATS WHAT I GET FOR PULLING BASED ON VIBES

AHHHHH CALEB MY SWEET I SORRY I MISSED HIMM lowkey… Sylus is sexy but he’s so tiktok dom it’s kinda cringe some times. I liked some of the story scenes but his voice lines were kind 🤨🤨🤨 IYKWIM “not now kitten whiskers” ahh dialogue BUT WHAT THAT GAME NEEDED WAS A TRUE UNHINGED GUY THAT WANTED TO KIDNAP YOU. Rafayel could’ve come close but… we needed MORE. I would love to hear about his cards!! Also… I’m gonna say it… i personally would’ve liked the whole raised together so he’s obsessive vibe like I knew he had a brother vibe to him before but that made me want to fuck him more tbh but maybe I’m fucked up ! SKSKKSKS

Also please tell me how he survived the bomb —

[narwhalandchill]

mannn i dont think kafka and i are meant to be after all 😔 unless she somehow shows up within the like. 10ish at absolute max pulls that ill be able to scrape together before the patch ends (at 31 pity atm) i think im just gonna accept my fate lmao. what a cruel world...

on the other hand im no longer feeling as actively disappointed bc i finally hit my 300 selector counter Which means after pulling her LC early off standard a while back i am now a Proud clara haver so thats kinda scratching the new playstyle itch that i was wanting from DoT w kafka and its p neat :D

behold. She.

speedran the ascensions but aside from that shes barely even built w like no traces upgraded proper and on some stolen 2p+2p w the wrong planars (no salsotto phys orbs💀) but. lynx and e6 tingyun and its help me mr svarog go BRRRRR its actually super fun. i love counters + just having a phys dps proper after all this time is v nice

n like. kafka melancholy is real yes but ig the consolation here is that ill be able to have acheron + aventurine completely guaranteed if i end up wanting to go for them both. aventurine is locked in i love his visual design and the rampant bastard energies but without kafka im still lacking any real lightning carry sooo... lets see how her kit turns out

[sampoenjoyer]

this is a very silly and fun post (AND VELITE X ARGENTI MENTIONED OMG I LOVE THOSE TWO, IN MY HEAD THEY ARE DATING) But also wanna add a nerds perspective: Argenti is genuinely insanely good. I've used him both MOC occasionally, as well as pure fiction, he's definitely built with pure fiction in mind and man does he pop off. If i do a dedicated 3 harmony + argenti team or even just 2 harmony + 1 sustain that man goes wild. Doesn't even have to have physical weakness. If you have huohuo he becomes even better since with her he can pop off more ults, thus more dmg, and his ability to basically store up a second ult in pure fiction is really useful.

In MOC he hasn't a good buff in a while however I remember beating one or two with him, and I definitely think he'll be good in apocalyptic shadow (especially if you're like me and you lost 50/50 and didn't get your Boothill :,( )

BUT NO YEAH HES A GREAT UNIT, HAD HIM SINCE RELEASE AND HE'S ONE OF THE BEST ERUDTION UNITS IMO. Also he has the benefit of being rlly F2P friendly. Like his eidolons whilst good are not so insane their game changers the way some character's are, plus whilst HuoHuo is defintiely his best sustain, he also works fine with almost any sustain in game I have used him with Luocha, Gepard, Aventurine, Lynx, and Gallagher at various points and he works well with all of them. His best four star support is Tingyun obviously but his other harmony can be pretty flexibly tbh. I prefer a turn advancer (Bronya for now but if I had sparkle she'd honeslty be a viable option) but if you need to use bronya for the other team he can basically have any support thats not hyper specific, like I could see slotting Ruan Mei, Robin, or Asta in even though they dont 100% fit his playstyle becuase he COULD benefit from all them. Finaly in tersm of LC's theres a lot of good Erudtion lc's and few Erudtion chars people tend to use. AND THIS IS COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS JING YUAN AND PLAYS QINGQUE. Personally I use the BP LC, however seriousness of breakfast and Genius's Repose are actually really good options for him. Also, I haven't checked the new Herta LC but it's probably good for him.

FINALLY ARGENTI IS RLLY FLEXIBLE IN PURE FICTION. I've used him as a hypercarry and as a sub dps in a team with herta and himeko, and managed to get like almsot 40k points so he's really good. Genuinly if you're thinking of pulling Jade for pure fiction and not cause you like her character/design/smth like that, I would heavily recommend Argenti more.

NOW IF YOU'RE PULLING JADE PURELY CAUSE YOU LIKE HER OR HER KIT OR SMTH THEN GO WILD JUST SOME NERDY ADVICE. ALSO SORRY HOPEFULLY THIS MAKES SENSE I WOKE UP LIKE TWENTY MINUTES AGO.

I made a shitpost powerpoint that blew tf up on twitter so I might as well post it here too. Argenti rerun hype 🙏🌹
