Honkai: Star Rail (PC/PS5/PS4/Android/iOS) - Honkai Impact 3rd Extended Universe

[6souls]

Rin in 30 and her light cone in 50. Still have 22k gems to play with. Already got Himeko Nova's light cone..

Ok, flame reaver is pissing me off. Not sure what the fuck I can do to kill him.

And yes, I'm blitzing the adds on beginning, but can only kill 2 of the four before he blows his load. If I survive that, the second round finishes me off.

Group is as follows:

Gallagher. Level 80, using shared feeling light cone at level 70. 5387 HP, 1141 Atk, 1008 defense, 101 speed

Serval: level 80, equipped with her specific light cone level 70. 3314 HP, 2117 Atk, 924 defense, 110 speed, 29.4% crit rate, 77.2% crit damage, 54.7 break effect, 25.8% lightning damage boost

Jingliu: level 80, Under the Blue Sky light cone at 70. 3809 hp, 2438 atk, 1026 defense, 116 speed, 43.2% crit rate, 117.1% crit damage, 38.8% ice damage boost

Xueyi: level 80, Indelible Promise lightcone at 70. 4156 HP, 1929 Atk, 1001 defense, 108 speed, 16?2% crit rate, 145.9% crit damage, 42% quantum damage boost

While I would have to grind leveling and trace mats, I do have the following characters as well

Natasha
Cyrene
Doll Herta
Qingque
Yanqing
Arlan
Moze
Tingyun

I'm pretty much stuck story wise at this point until I can figure out a way to beat him.

Who did you use your Golden Companion Spirit on? Houhou is an amazing healer that heals every time a character uses an action, plus gives damage buffs from her heal skill and her Ult gives energy + dmg boost. Otherwise, Remembrance MC's memo let's everyone use true dmg in addition to their element and it's support advances the character like Bronya's skill without having to use SP.

Ok, I do still have a steller contract gem available, so can grab HouHou.

Would also strongly recommend getting your light cones to level 80, at the very least for your damage dealers, and you didn't mention Trace levels but those are very important as well.

The one you probably want to invest into right now is Jingliu. There's a 5* lightcone you can get from the Divergent/Simulated Universe shop (Fall of an Aeon) that will probably be a lot better than the 4* one you're using now. The thing about Jingliu is that she scales completely off of HP, so ATK% buffs don't do anything for her. If you have 4 of the Light Cone Memory Shards, you can buy Blade's lightcone (The Unreachable Side) from the Stellar Convergence shop which is also pretty good for her. Some decent 4* options would be Flames Afar, or Ninja Record: Sound Hunt.

For Jingliu's relics, you'll want to use the 4-piece "Scholar Lost in Erudition" set, and for your 2-piece Planar set you'll want the "Bone Collection's Serene Demesne". You'll want to mostly look for pieces that have Crit Damage, HP%, and SPD on them, with some crit rate as well but she gets 50% Crit Rate just from her enhanced state so you don't need much. For relic main stats, you'll want a Crit Damage% Body (or HP% if you get a really good one while you fish for a Crit Damage body), SPD boots, an Ice Damage% orb, and an HP% rope.

We also get a free Archer/Gilgamesh as of today, either one of them will also be quite good for you. If you do a total of 200 warps (on any limited banner, not just the Fate banners) before the end of this version, you can also get their 5* light cone for free.

I don't know if you've done much warping recently, if not you may want to consider pulling for Robin in the next version if you have a bunch of stellar jades currently banked. You also have Cyrene so Evernight (currently available on a banner) would also be a decent character to consider.

Trace levels are all at like 6 or 7. Not having the best of luck grinding the advanced mats, and still missing some Calyx and other zones for relic grinding.

No light cone shards as I haven't bought any nameless honor tiers

I would grind up your traces to 10 (ignore Jingliu's Basic Attack, it's useless) first, then level up/change out her lightcone, then try to get a full relic set on her (doesn't need to be amazing, just the right main stats on all the pieces and a few substat rolls if you're lucky). I *think* you can access calyxes you haven't manually unlocked through the Guidebook thing, but I might be wrong.

Edit: You will have to advance through the Simulated/Divergent Universe I think to get at the Planar Ornament sets, but you ought to anyway because there's a lot of stellar jades attached to working through it and the newer stages normalize your characters' equipment and traces anyway. You'll also work toward getting Fall of an Aeon from the Herta Shop as you do it.

Yeah, I'm pretty far into divergent universe. Got 33 of 38 nodes unlocked and such.

I just get shit luck on monster drops there.

So realized that a lot of the trailblazer side missions open up new areas in zones. So back to working on those temporarily for gems, leveling mats and unlocking more grind zones

I don't think I'll get enough pulls for Gil's lightcone; any recs on build?

[Obsidian]

Fall of an Aeon (the Herta shop 5* Destruction cone) is pretty good for him. Off the top of my head Phainon's cone is probably also good for him if you have it.

idk about Obsidian, but I use prydwen as my resource. The site is a little resource heavy (slow to load) since they updated, but it's very comprehensive resource.

[Obsidian]

Their tier lists are a bit goofy IMO, but as a general build resource they're pretty fine. If people want youtube advice, I would recommend Guoba Certified.

Edit: I'm actually kinda surprised his sig LC is only 7% ahead of Fall of an Aeon. But Fall of an Aeon is very good so I guess I shouldn't be that shocked. Pretty sure it's legitimately outright better for Firefly than her own sig, as an example.

[Ayn]

Ha ha yeah, I have Aeon on Firefly.

Did look at Prydwen but just wanted to double check.

Might end up going for the BP one at some point.

[Melena]

So that stupid werewolf stagnant shadow fight, is there a way to speed up round two when you got the four small wolves and the giant one that reduces their damage and helps them transform faster?

Was able to comfortably clear two rounds of that fight, but God damn the second phase is so damn slow till I get two of the small wolves down to actually kill the boss

Pearl is coming in 4.6 as an Ice based Elation. Firefly, Misha, Kafka, Dan Heng, & March are rumored to get new variations in v5.

[Gokulo]

In other Hoyo news, apparently their new game Nodusfall is a Monster Hunter style game, lol

When the patch preview livestream is only 30 minutes long, you know it's a filler patch.

Still pumped for Robin though.
