I'm gonna catch that motherfucking Tanuki that pretends to be a treasure chest at the bottom of the shrine and toss him into tanuki jail.

I think they translated this guy's name wrong..
"kurisu" but he's from fontaine, in the jp dub they pronounce it pretty much how you'd say "chris".

Catch Pokemons to your teapot and release Aloy away.

A lot of characters and even re-runs open up at that number, so I wouldn't look into it too much. It's the legs that matter since Kokomi opened ranking high, but she quickly dropped and remained in the top 20s instead while Raiden held in the top 10 for most of her banner for ex.

Ok, now I will be disappointed if he doesn't look anything like this lmao I hope that he will cover himself, he's a clan leader after all. So something close to Geo Lord's attire but in white n gold (blue?) would be pretty slick. Also, white hairs? It would make him looks old-er. Not sure if twitter girls will love it.

P.S. Young and handsome Jiraiya? Jiraiya was pretty handsome and charismatic already. That guy looks more like young and gay Jiraiya heh.

Might as well do the beginner banner until it's gone, you only get 20 rolls on it, if I recall. Save up all of the pink colored wishes, they're what you use on limited character and weapon banners. Noelle (sword lady) and Fischl are both really good supports, especially for beginner players. There's a lot in the game now compared to when it released, but don't get too overwhelmed. Most of the time sensitive stuff is either now permanent or you missed it. The one piece of advice is when you unlock the resin system, make sure you're using it on something every day. It's extremely time gated and you need it for basically everything. You can't go wrong early in the game since you need every resource, so you can use it on those blue/gold leylines without worrying about it, until you understand more about the game.

Yeah, did it again and got Beidou. Really digging playing with her. I'm thinking of keep leveling her up.

For the true Gacha experience, at least someone has to recommend rerolling for a 5*, so I’ll say it! Most games of this variety are defined by their rare characters (the 1% drops)*, and getting one early can carry you through the early ranks.

The caveat with that approach is that Aloy (from Sony’s Horizon: Zero Dawn) is being given away, and she is a 5*, but there’s no real consensus on whether she’s any good. Considering the game feeds you a lot of the draw currency quickly to start, you’re eventually going to draw a 5* character, so don’t feel like you “have to” try rerolling. I actually didn’, and I have a fair assortment of 5*s after almost a full year of playing.

*- Technically, the game has a pity system, so you’re guaranteed to get a 5* after 90 draws on a particular banner (excluding the beginner one, since it only goes to 20 draws), and the odds greatly increase around your 75th draw (“soft pity”).



Reroll decision aside, the other thing you’re going to want to do is find a healer. The Event tab should still allow you to unlock either Barbara or Bennett by progressing through specified content; either one would be useful to get used to…unless you really love the cooking mechanic that much.

I need to check how to get Barbara.

Can you even reroll on IOS? Plus playing on mobile is such a chore. And standard 5☆ that you can win while is a big help are already outshined. So... not worth it imo.

Yeah, that's a big L for new players. Still, some mats can be bought from the shop and new players aren't that high of a level so it's not like they need mats to get to lvl 90.



Game is good. Will become great if you can get a physical controller. Other than that - enjoy and ask anything of you have questions.

Appreciate the help.

This is really overwhelming for someone who never played a gacha before. I've just been doing the daily quests, trying to reach that AR so I can continue with the main ones. Just playing at my own pace.

Btw, yesterday I saw the demo trailer for Raiden Shogun and holy fuck, she's so fucking cool!

Kinda cool. Simple though. Just Noelle minus shield and heal, but likely plus quite a bit of damage. I like Gorou's little claw the ground thing in his auto attack. Cool animation wasted on him.

Is this a joke back to when people kept tweeting Elon Musk about his daughter speaking hilichurl?

Got my Inazuma statue to rank 10 tonight + the extra -culus, found a bunch of interesting puzzles that seem to be tied to stone tablets. I think Tsurumi might just take the cake for my favorite island in Inazuma away from Seirai. The atmosphere and puzzles are top notch without being annoying like Watatsumi. Good stuff.

I hope to god it's a joke, but it was a real tweet linking to the other account and they got ratio'd so hard in the QRT and comments that they deleted it about 3 hours later. Whoever thought that was a good idea post anniversary is either a genius troll or crazy.

How they handled the fog dispersion is a great way to shake up exploration IMO.

HOARD everything until you understand what you're doing. Especially: never buy blue wishes with primogems. You can buy blue wishes with Stardust, don't buy them with starglitter until you understand what you're doing. Use all your resin daily if you can, and use it to farm materials/world bosses and not to farm artifacts until you can do it at the highest difficulty (world level 40-45 iirc). Always do the 4 daily commissions (quests) and report back to Katheryne in the city guild. Don't go overboard leveling characters, weapons and artifacts until you understand what you're doing and what you're using and what it's better to save for later.

HOARD.

Agreed, the fog mechanic was cool. Not something I'd want everywhere, but it was great for one island.

Beidou is great, she pairs really well with Hydro characters, and getting a perfect counter with her is very satisfying. It's ok to feel a bit overwhelmed, you came into a game that's been running for 1+ years by now, so most content is geared towards longtime players. As others mentioned, the only things you really want to stay on top of is using your Resin (time gated regenerating resource that you use for EVERYTHING related to building characters) and saving your wishes/primogems for a character that you really want. Blue wishes are the exemption, you can use them whenever you get them and not feel bad about it. Save the pink ones and primogems though. Shogun is great, but sadly you just missed her banner by a few weeks. Rerun banners are kinda unpredictable in this game, so it could be a month until she comes back or 1+ year.

Honkai in Steam. No x play in the description.

This is the biggest bonehead move of them all. Who the hell would want to start a version of the game that's nearly 5 years behind the other versions. Especially when there's already a PC client for the existing version that is crossplay with mobile (the original platform). It's just completely worthless and I feel bad for players that actually start playing this way.

That's one of the better Amber cosplays I've seen. My only complaint is that they try too literally with the hair split which ends up making it look weird. Real hair doesn't work like anime hair.

Well, I can promise that I spent only a small amount of time examining the hair, and that's honest.

Trash claymore tho. So damn hero specific. Only true Noelle fans will roll for it. Crit DMG is amazing, but... damn. Way to waste a beautiful design. People who got Homa are so damn lucky. Maybe I'll pull for it if we will continue to get nothing but mediocre trash on banners.

Funny enough, I've been putting off building up BKE since her gameplay loop is boring and I didn't have any of her stigs which makes her performance awful, but I think in 5.2 we're getting her stigs in the BP shop, at the same time that Mobius drops. My Mecha class characters all suck, so I was planning on going hard for Mobius, but now in theory I could just save up and buy the stigs to make BKE good. Honestly though, I like Mobius better anyways.

I finally beat the hard mode in ER just last night, and got a ton of the remembrance vessel currency, so I got lore drops like Christmas morning yesterday. I like villainesses and morally ambiguous characters, so Mobius is right up my alley from what I've seen, and her kit is beautiful. Either way this is going to be a great patch. Free Raven, and luckily I didn't overspend on Elysia, so I have enough to hopefully have a good shot at some of the gacha. I'd like to ideally get Mobius with her weapon and Raven's weapon, so here's hoping.

This is something I still dont understand. the Resin is used for what exactly?

So primogens I should save for worthy banners that I want, pink wishes same. Blue wishes don't matter, just use them.
