@z0d15g0d - Have you got any DHIL eidolons this banner or are you saving for future reruns? I'd like to E6 Acheron eventually but that's way down the line, as of now I'm saving for Herta's 5* version, puppet Herta is my favourite character in the game so I'm definitely getting the Emanator version. Thankfully there's a few months before that unit arrives if the rumours are true so plenty of time to hoard jades!
@themightyant - You asked me to spoiler tag upcoming characters. I did exactly that and even wrote 'if rumours' and unit, I didn't say a name outside of the hidden text. You clicked a clearly marked spoiler. Be fair here.
@Shigurui sorry mate. I can see the spoiler tag now, but it didn’t show up before for some reason and I read this. Which is super-weird. Thankfully not a big deal in this case but apologies anyway.
EDIT: I think it’s because the notification showed up in my email without spoiler tags, which is a bit annoying they strip these.
@Shigurui Yea I'm saving up for max E characters now 86k jades minimum. I haven't spent any on his banner this rerun. I'm in 2 minds on spending on Aventurines LC as he's OP already and gets my teams through with 0 damage most fights now. DHIL, Sparkle, Tingyun or Bronya and Aventurine is a very merciless team even with the Break meta period we are going through so they will be a safe bet down the line through any other metas. It would be nice to have a 5* of that character. Now as I won't have any new 5* for a while I can build their base version.
@themightyant Yea I've been burnt by reading posts in email before too lol. When we had the lengthy discussions of Acherons origins. She was an entirely new unit to me.
@z0d15g0d - I haven't looked into Aventurine sig but I think the meta is shifting to healers, the damage output of Hoolay eats through shields in new SimU, it eats through everything tbh. They def overtuned that dude and Feixiao boss but I've found heals to be more viable in general this patch. My Luocha has been putting in work lol.
@Shigurui Lol I was thinking the same. He's defo overtuned same with Fei. I've got all the currently available healers so I guess I'm set if that becomes the case. I'm giving my Luocha a rest. He was pretty much my most overworked character for almost a year. Lingsha is putting the work in now.
@z0d15g0d - I've been running the new SimU quite a bit and my Fu Xuan wasn't really up to the task vs torturous difficulty Hoolay so I pulled Luocha out of retirement, his debuffs and auto heals helped me a lot against that tanky mofo and his merry men! Don't have Lingsha on this account.
@themightyant - NP mate, sorry if I spoiled anything but I did tag it. In future if I post anything like that I'll put the word spoiler at the top of the post so if it pops up in your mail you'll see that before you read further, best I can do.
@Shigurui no problem dude. You did all you could, I hadn’t realised you had put spoiler tags initially due to the email stripping them and over reacted. That was my mistake, apologies. I like the idea of adding a spoiler warning though because they strip the tags in email.
Fu Xuan is good in the majority of content but there’s definitely a few times when everyone gets hit hard, especially in AOE, and her healing is insufficient. Higher level Hoolay in particular seems designed to nerf / counter her particular style of defence. Though I found this can be mitigated a little by changing strategy and saving my bursts till he moon raged and then countering that by breaking him quickly to get him out of the mode as quickly as possible, that stops the worst of his attacks. I can’t remember what level I got up to though, maybe 3 or 4, I also changed her lightcone form Trend of the Universal market (I think that’s what it’s called) which gets Acheron stacks on attack, to Gepards signature which is more tanky.
What did you all think of the new quest (slumbernana). Honestly I thought this was the worst yet, woeful writing and it just feels so dragged out with nonsense. Absolute filler. I almost skipped it… But I needed the jades!
What did you all think?
We’re almost at new banners time. I’ve been saving for Adventurine but don’t quite have enough to guarantee him. (Currently 14,400 stellar jade + 15 special passes = 105 wishes. Plus a few quests/events to finish and up to 28 extra emergency wishes in the shop) so around 140 wishes with no pity. Willing to drop it all to get him.
So pretty please, with sugar on top, can I win the 50:50? But I’ve been pre-farming for him, which I never do, so tempting fate 😂
@themightyant - The whole thing was abysmal. @z0d15g0d nailed it in an ingame chat we had, the CEO's kid must have wrote that script. The bar has been set so low now it can only improve. Right?
Good luck on getting Aventurine. I'm flat broke on 50 pity so skipping this banner and the next, saving everything I can for the 3.0 patch.
@themightyant Yea it was pretty bad. Worst so far and with the most amount of jades. You can tell the devs knew it too. I'm going for Aventurine's LC. Missed out on DHIL's E1 and got Bronya's instead. I wanted it for so long but now she doesn't fit into any of my line ups since getting Sparkle.
Here's hoping 3.0 gets the story back on track and the "Bana" verse fades to oblivion.
@z0d15g0d@Shigurui I understand their update schedule is insane so they sometimes have to fill gaps with quickly made lower grade content, but I’d prefer them to just bring back fun combat challenges or something like Legend of the Intergalactic Baseballer, that was silly fun.
@z0d15g0d I feel ya! Wanted Bronya forever and by the time I got her she doesn’t fit into any teams. Who do you want next with your guarantee?
@themightyant My current goal is to E6 my mains. Firefly, Acheron & DHIL I don't need any new characters unless they change up the meta again. I'd also like E6 Clara as I'm currently rebuilding her. She was the first 5* I got quite early on and got me through the vast majority of the story and now with Sparkle and Tingyun she's a full on tyrant lol but needs more crit dmg. Been farming her relics for 2 weeks now and all pure trash with the exception of 1 or 2.
Yea I agree they need to bring back some of the fun challenges. They're tried and tested so why not. The rhythm game needs to be sent into an abyss.
I can understand the vertical investment, I still have a few holes to plug (like Adventurine and a top tier healer) but I'm kinda at that point too, wanting to improve the characters I do use. I won't be going E6 but I wouldn't mind a signature lightcone or eidolon here and there for my most used characters. If I somehow win the 50:50 I might consider going for Acheron's LC, but that's all doubtful doubtful.
BEWARE SPOILERS For upcoming characters and potential new meta in 3.0 below
Was just served an article about the next Support Meta in HSR being 'Servants'. These handle a little different to Summons like Topaz's Numby or Jing Yuan's Lightning Lord as they will be able to take damage among other changes which will change the Meta around shields, healing etc..
One suggestion was that Fu Xuan will share her protection with the servants, which may sound like a bonus at first but actually it means she will receive even more damage in AOE attacks (current max is 4 characters it, could be up to 7 with 3 other squad members and 3 servants) making her more vulnerable and less viable in new teams. Other supports may only buff characters but NOT servants, effectively making them weaker vs new options.
Additionally 3.0 will apparently introduce the Remembrance path for these characters, but the first new character with a Servant will be Sunday in 2.7.
What do you think about these potential changes? I'm never too happy when new mechanics are introduced that effectively nerf existing characters, but it's a balance, and we'll have to see how they handle it.

I won the 50:50 and got Aventurine. Let’s ***** go!
Buoyed by my success I rashly decided to drop all my remaining stellar jades into the Acheron LC banner and literally on my last wish won the 50:50 on that too. My first banner signature LC.
Got lucky with 4 stars too getting some good light cones and E6 sampo, which is the only one i didn’t have.
I feel I should buy a lottery ticket while my lucks up 😂
Now to start saving again for 3.0+ characters… when all my characters get nerfed 💀
@themightyant Nice one dude. I just got Aventurine's LC also. Haven't leveled up anything in a while and realised I've got 12 mil credits lol don't think I've ever had that much sitting there before.
Lol yea that's one of the reasons I just want to focus on getting my mains to E6. That way they're OP enough to weather any s**t storm Hoyo sends my way.
