Between Yunli and Jiaoqiu… I decide to save my stellar jades on my main account for potential characters that may interest me

I sort of lied… I used whatever stellar jades I had and luckily I was able to get E1 Misha (I got him and his E1 in two 10-pulls) and E3 Gallagher in those pulls

Now back to saving

and I changed my mind… I realized how much I liked Firefly’s play style. So I decided to pull for her and got her

Also, she is the first Stellaron Hunter I now have

And now we have the 2nd drip marketing for the Version 2.5 characters. This time, it's new Cauldron Master for the Luofu's Alchemy Commission, the 5-Star character, Lingsha (Type: Fire/Path: Abundance).

 

[Dreamer_of_Songs]

For the first time since Version 2.1, we have drip marketing for a brand new 4-Star character. Time for me to introduce the upcoming 4-Star character, Moze (Type: Lightning/Path: Hunt).

 

[Dreamer_of_Songs]

This trailer for the new Contiunance Quest gave me shivers.

 

[Dreamer_of_Songs]

Last Thursday, they revealed the drip marketing for the 4-Star character, Moze. The post received backlash because it was revealed that Chris Niosi, was going to be voicing Moze.

Back in 2019, Chris Niosi admitted to sexual and mental abuse of several victims in the past. In 2020, Niosi commented that he was trying to make amends to the people who were hurt by his actions.

Yet a few of victims spoke up and revealed that haven’t heard back from him.

While the drama unfolded,
Sunday’s English VA, Griffin Puatu, spoke up about the controversy on Reddit, which also brought a lot backlash.



Today, Niosi announced that he's stepping down from his role as Moze officially.



With that news, we don’t know how long will it take them to announce the new VA for Moze.

Yes, I actually do play HSR and I help you out with. I found a Beginner's Guide that explains the main game mechanics of HSR.



But there is some things the reddit thread doesn't really explain such as Paths, Types, Debuffs, Buffs, AoE, FuA, and Team Compositions. I can explain those parts with ease.

Paths

In gameplay, Paths is another way of say Class Type. Each character has a specific playable Path, which provides a specific gameplay depending what their role. The game currently has 7 Playable Paths, which are Abundance, Destruction, Erudition, Harmony, Hunt, Nihility, and Presevation. I'm going to give brief explations each Path and example of characters who follow each Path.

Abundance: Characters who heals and restore your characters' HP. Examples: Natasha, Bailu, and Huo Huo.

Destruction: Characters who deals damage in various ways depending on their playstyle (some damage dealers consume HP or Skill Points for increased Damage). Examples: Destruction Trailblazer, Clara, and Jingliu.

Erudition: Characters who deal damge through AoE (Area of Effect) by hitting multiple enemies. Examples: Serval, Himeko, and Jing Yuan.

Harmony: Characters who provide buffs to increase your character's combat abilities. Examples: Asta, Bronya, and Ruan Mei.

Hunt: Characters who deals damage on a single target. Examples: Danheng, Yanqing, and Topaz.

Nihility: Characters who applies debuffs to reduce the enemies' combat capabilities. Examples: Sampo, Welt, and Silver Wolf.

Preservation: Characters who provide shields and other defensive capabilites to tank enemies' attacks. Examples: March 7th [Preservation], Gepard, and Fu Xuan.

Types

In HSR gameplay, Types are another of saying Elements. Each character has a specific Type that deals elemental damage. There are 7 Types in game, which are Fire, Ice, Imaginary, Lightning, Physical, Quantum, and Wind. When characters deal elemental damage that matches an enemy's weakness, the enemy's toughness gets reduced.

I will also give 2-3 characters who have the same Types mentioned above.

Fire: Hook, Gallagher, and Firefly

Ice: Herta, Pela, and Misha

Imaginary: Yukong, Dr. Ratio, and Aventurine

Lightning: Arlan, Tingyun, and Archeon

Physical: Luka, Hanya, and Boothill

Quantum: Qingque, Lynx, and Jade

Wind: Blade, Black Swan, and Feixiao [who will be playable in Version 2.5.]


Debuffs

Debuffs are negative status effects that lowers characters and enemies' combat abilities. There are 4 main types of Debuffs in the game, which are DoT (Damage over Time), Crowd Control, Slow, and Weakened. There are also Type Debuffs, which is separate from the main Debuffs, but I’ll explain that too:

• DoT or Damage over Time: A type of debuff, which a type of character that receives elemental damage at the start of their turn.
  • Types of DoT are Bleed (caused by Physical Damage), Burn (caused by Fire Damage), Shock (caused by Lightning Damage), and Wind Shear (caused by Wind Damage).

• Crowd Control: A type of debuff that prevents characters' from taking extra action and disables characters' Ultimate attack.
  • Types of Crowd Control are Frozen (caused by Ice Damage via Weakness Break *I will explain what this*), Entanglement (caused by Quantum Damage via Weakness Break), Imprisionment (caused by Imaginary Damage via Weakness Break), Dominance (enemy-used debuff), Outrage (enemy-used debuff), and Strong Reverberation (enemy-used debuff).

• Slow; A debuff that reduces the character's speed.

• Weakened: A debuff that reduces the character's damage dealt.

Type Debuffs are a specific type of debuff is associated with one of the 7 Types in the game. There is a 150% for an enemy to receive a type debuff through Weakness Break, which means the enemy's toughness level is reduced to 0 (this usually happens when a character attacks an enemy that is weak to a specific Type).

The 7 Type Debuffs are:

Fire: Burn- Inflicts Fire DoT at the start of the turn(s).

Ice: Frozen- Unable to take action while Frozen; Upon unfreezing, takes Ice DMG, skips the current turn but advances the next turn forward by 50%.*

Imaginary: Imprisionment- Delays action; Decreases SPD; Unable to take action while Imprisoned.*

Lightning: Shock- Inflicts Lightning DoT at the start of the turn(s).

Physical: Bleed- Inflicts Physical DoT at the start of the turn(s).

Quantum: Entanglement- Delays action; Unable to take action while Entangled; Takes Quantum DMG at the beginning of turn(s).*

Wind: Wind Shear- Inflicts Wind DoT at the start of the turn(s).

*= Frozen, Imprisonment, and Entanglement are not DoT debuffs.

AoE

AoE means Area of Effect, which is a fancy way of say characters can attack multiple enemies at once in the same area. All Erudition characters are AoE damage dealers, but there are few Destruction and Nihility characters also does AoE damage.

FuA

FuA means Follow-Up Attack. Follow-Up Attacks are attacks that trigger automatically and they ignore the character order. There are certain Damage Dealers that focus on FuA (Common paths that uses FuA are Destruction, Erudition, and Hunt *but it's not exclusive to these 3 Paths*).

Team Compositions

Since HSR is a turn-based type of game, team composition is an important part of the game. This means building different types of teams depending on the playstyle you want.

A general idea of what a Team Comp may look like.

1. Main Damager Dealer (Main DPS)
2. Offensive Support Character/Debuffer/Sub DPS
3. Offensive Support Character/Debuffer/Sustain (Healer or Tank)
4. Sustain (Healer or Tank)

The team comp depends on what types of enemies you are dealing throught the game. There are other factors in team comps that includes character synergies, enemy weaknesses, skill point management, etc.


There may be parts that I missed, but you can ask me any questons either way and I try my best explain more about the game

Also the weirdest thing happened and people are wondering why this happened.

They recently replaced Adam Michael Gold, the English VA for both Argenti and Mr. Tail with new VAs yesterday. Honkai Star Rail hasn't anything about why they had to replace the original English VA (from what people have said, Adam Michael Gold hasn't done anything controvesial. It's more like alleged problems with his agency)

Argenti's new VA is Talon Warburton (the English VA of Akash, a member of the Annihilation Gang)

Spoiler: Official Light Cone Art but this is also a leak!

I really want to get Feixiao and her Light Cone so badly

 

[Dreamer_of_Songs]

Yunli is so precious in this trailer

But most importantly, "Why is Jing Yuan treating her like a cat?" when he moves the Berryphesant Skewer away from her

 

[Dreamer_of_Songs]

This has to be my best 10-pull in general

Yes, I have won my third 50-50 in a row (also I already had E6 Yukong since 1.3)

And now I have her Lightcone!

 

[The_Phantomhive]

And now I have her Lightcone!

so luckyyyyy!!! are you f2p???

 

[Dreamer_of_Songs]

so luckyyyyy!!! are you f2p???

Yep. I am F2P. I wasn’t expecting to get Yunli this early, but I can’t be mad since I don’t have a good Physical Type DPS character that is built. Now I can use Yunli

I don't pull for the Light Cone Banner too often on my main account. I didn’t have good Destruction path Light Cones on that account, so I pulled on that banner to get Yunli’s Light Cone.

The last time I pulled on the Light Cone banner and got the Light Cone I wanted on that account was during Jing Yuan’s rerun banner back in 2.0.
