@z0d15g0d it’s a little unclear which strike is affecting it. The VA Studio that hires the English VAs for Hoyo was under fire for some reason (I think missing payments to VAs, but don’t quote me on it) on top of the larger AI strike. But even when the strikes end there will be a backlog of work for many VAs which may explain the “scheduling conflict” excuse
@themightyant So this is expected to be the case for the foreseeable future then. I hope they get a desirable outcome but Ai is here to stay. I play the finals and I quite like that the Ai gives the play by play on what's going on in the matches to a greater extent than what humans would be able to do.
@Shigurui@z0d15g0d Lots of new codes for up to 410 Jades.
The easiest way to redeem these is to use the game8 page where clicking each code takes you straight to the HSR website with code completed, you just have to login.
After losing the 50:50 and pulling Welt i'm undecided whether to double down and go for The Herta. I'm sure there will be enough Jades in this patch to get her... or to save and get someone else with the guarantee. Let me know your thoughts on The Herta as you build and use her + who you team with her.
Playing just a little of the story I want Phainon on drip/attitude alone, but he's not even being drip marketed so it's not going to be until much later maybe 5.2, 5.3+... or perhaps it's all a red herring and he is the bad guy.
@themightyant Haha yea I just lost the 50:50 also and got Bronya . The Herta was fun to play as in the trial. A team of her, Herta and Jade seems like chaotic fun. Is the meta moving away from break as she is a crit character.
@z0d15g0d I'm SURE the meta will move. It's been one of my criticisms with HSR, one i've voiced before, that they can make your DPS fall off a cliff unless you get their signature and Eidolons to try and future proof them. Even DPS that once were the top of the top like Jingliiu, DHIL or Seele are not even in the top 10 DPS anymore in any content, and becoming less relevant in end game content, unless you have those signatures and eidolons to give them that extra 25% - 50+% boost.
I realise it's a tough balance, they want to have people keep pulling new characters, but I feel other games handle this better with less of an extreme drop off. I don't tend to spend much in these games, but this makes me even less likely to spend.
@z0d15g0d re: meta. I was playing it today and thinking about the new mechanics like War Armour and Glory. Currently even if a character hits multiple times In the skill or ult it only counts as 1 with these mechanics. That suggests to me if these mechanics become more widespread the direction may be towards having more attacks in a small amount of time, so it’s possible SPD and summons, which will give additional attacks per unit of time, are likely to be prioritised. But maybe it’s something else.
I played some more of the story and looked at the upcoming characters and between Aglaea and Big Hat Herta I wanted Herta so I went for her and she came a little early. Going to try her with Herta, Himeko, Serval and a few others.
Really enjoyed Amphoreus so far. The story feels a lot more grounded and tangible whereas Penacony tried far too hard to be cryptic and kept adding 11th hour deus-ex-machina reveals, which I wasn't a fan of.
Characters mostly seem great, without knowing anything about their kit I want Phainon and Mydeimos. I don't think I will have enough for Aglaea having lost on Herta. Tribbie will probably end up being an insane support but i'm not usually a fan of the kid-like characters.
I'm still building Big Hat Herta, who is already strong even with a 4-star lighcone, bad relics and incomplete traces. I have mostly been using her with (robot) Herta, Robin and Aventurine. One thing I noticed is that I haven't actually used Robin a lot in story content and her song does start to grate after a while.
LIGHT STORY SPOILERS BELOW
I haven't built Remembrance Trailblazer much yet but they look super strong with other Remembrance characters, however I've already had an issue with having to switch them back to Harmony to use with Firefly etc for Super Break... that could get annoying, it almost makes me wish I pulled Fugue, the other Super Break enabler
Looking forward to seeing where the rest of 3.x goes. I also like that we don't know who the other heroes / Chrysos Heirs are yet. And I am sure there are some interesting twists and turns in the tale to come.
@themightyant I'm quite enjoying Amphoreus story and level design. Much better puzzles than Penacony too. Looks like the Break meta didn't even last that long. I've been using Big Hat Herta, Serval, MC and Aventurine. They seem like a pretty solid team and I'm sure Aglea will replace Jingyuan and Serval as all the enemies seem to have lightning weakness. The whole summon thing seems like another Break fad though. Herta is crit so it looks like they might return to their roots.
Anyone pulling for Aglaea? She seems super strong, especially in longer fights / endgame. But she kinda requires a specific team I don't have, especially Sunday and HuoHuo to fill her monstrous 350 energy cost and keep her Ult activated, else her Ult state drops and her DPS tanks. If you do have those characters she can be a beast with the right setup.
However her A1 also restores energy, which is basically selling a problem they created. Not a fan of that so i'll skip and save, probably for Mydei and Phainon.
@Shigurui Liking a character is all that's needed. But regardless she's definitely still strong without Sunday, no doom posting needed. But his kit does seem designed for her and takes her to the next level. Enjoy!
@themightyant Yea I got her in 30 pulls thankfully and thought I could bypass that with Tingyun to no avail. Didn't think to throw HuoHuo in the mix but will try that team up and let you know. The DPS dip explains why MC(R) was doing far more damage at some points.
@Shigurui Does Dance Dance Dance even work with Robin? It's passive advances all allies actions by 16% - 24% on Ultimate, but her Ultimate ALREADY advances actions by 100% and they immediately take action. My ASSUMPTION was this wouldn't work, but perhaps i'm missing something.
@Shigurui LOL. We all do it. I just found out one of my main characters had the wrong relic attached and not only was it the wrong elemental bonus, but it was also the wrong set losing the set bonus. Somewhere I’d accidentally swapped it. Doh!
