![Best Limited 5* Lightcones Worth Picking Up in Honkai Star Rail [Updated in 2.5]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/5h35FG2gOtU/mqdefault.jpg)
boothill is 100% easier to build than topaz. the only stats that you need are break and spd. if you are not a new player you will probably have a ton of pieces that have break effect subs lying around which you can just slap on to him. his lightcone is a huge bonus, but boothill is also the only dps in the game where you can go lightconeless and still perform decently in endgame content. he also has physical weakness implant so he is basically cover any element in moc or single target content.
Not to mention all of us probably already have dps pieces with lots of crit and break effect already from all the pices we wanted for our regular dps
I am not too sure about that. The new set that releases next patch is going to be by far the best for him, so new players will have to farm that and get pieces that dont work on 95% of the characters. While the FuA domain and the pioneer one (for Ratio) are some of the most efficient ones to farm on.
At the same time, while Boothill will probably perform well in a MoC adjusted around him, I feel like the fact that he needs to break the enemies to deal damage will make him probably way slower than other DPS. Like imagine if you have to fight a boss and 3 mobs that are not weak to physical. Implanting the weakness on each one of them would take forever
@@whiteglint8191you're forgetting that the other mobs that aren't elites are pretty weak
Also it doesn't matter because if you kill the boss or whatever summons them those mobs all die instantly
The argument about shield breaking is pointless since weakness implant and Harmony TB
@@NiaTheMilkTank They have been buffing enemies health steadily, so much that it is harder now for Seele to proc resurgance. So, considering his damage to unbroken enemies will probably be relatively low, waiting for him to get the ult to implant the weakness is going to be very slow. Still, he is going to be really good for the new mode and break-oriented MoCs
Edit: also not all mobs are spawned from other bosses, i think that in this MoC12 there were like 2 elites and 2 normal mobs in the first wave of the second half.
@@whiteglint8191 Yeah he would be slower but not like the conventional dps since he does in fact have high break effect stats making it faster for him to break toughness and get to his prime. I do find it that he might be weaker for enemies with multiple layers of toughness bar like the new weekly boss and would definitely make his damage uptime slower but as long as you have him in a team with high BE stats, i think he'll perform just fine.
I think if you already have the ipc fua team, and a broken follow-up unit releases, ur going to replace ratio instead of topaz if you’re gonna make changes to the team, ratio is free but topaz scales everyone in that team so well. Ratio just does dmg, and if a better dps comes its clear who you switch
agreed a LOT, their has to be another DPS being stronger than ratio, for FUA i think topaz is one of the best units not going to get replaced, its just so niche a sub dps for fua
Yeah, Topaz is an enabler while Ratio is the exact opposite.
Ye, and the cool thing abt it is that ratio can also work as a main dps for a hypercarry team (tho he wants to have a teammate that can apply debuffs for him)
So you'd still have value for ratio being as a dps for a second team
Topaz is made for Aventurine. Even her basic attacks count as follow-ups, so she's a good driver for his own abilities.
They pretty much help each other in a loop. Topaz follow ups give Aventurine stacks to trigger his follow up and his follow ups advance numby in return. If we add another unit to the team with this feedback loop then it will push their synergy up even further.
Probably a unit (called X for simplicity) w/a mix of Jade/Kafka kit (her and Bronya's fua). They mark an ally similarly to Jade and everytime that unit takes an action, the unit (X) performs a follow-up to the targeted enemy, if that unit doesnt use a skill that targets an enemy, X's AV is advanced by 20% (basic atk is considered a FUA similar to Topaz). If the marked ally uses an AOE skill, X launches a FUA on a random enemy, possibly bouncing to another. Feels like could work unless you get crippled by CC, which Robin is for
Traces could be like some extra energy at start of battle/wave/turn, Some utility possible proc effect on crit/fua via skill, Extra stats maybe a snowball effect that scales off number of FUA dealt
LC could just be a stat stick, w some unique buff/debuff (similar to Aether Code/Erode/Epiphany/Mirage Bubble)
@@EternalJon1So...Dr. Ratio? He's pretty much a beast with both of them in the team
I feel like Dr Ratio is more likely to get replaced no? Cause with a future follow up dps, topaz will still be sub dps and support for them. Plus what if the next follow up character doesn't debuff for ratio?
Maybe at some point, or the new character "replaces" him as a follow up main damage dealer in a more side grade fashion
I doubt it because Dr ratio does DMG very consistently and it's easy to proc his follow up attacks. Second , he is strong enough to be played in a hyper carry team . I think numby gonna be replaced first in that sense. She is useless without ratio . She will become even more useless if the new dps does not require a debuff like Dr ratio.
@Thivesh_ well my point was ratio is only damage. If we get a better dmg dealer follow up unit, then he gets replaced cause topaz can still provide support to whatever unit replaces ratio.
Currently my account needs Topaz but this Son of a nice lady stole my heart easily
boothill is definitely a lot easier to build than topaz. no, you don't need to build crit or atk for him at all beyond a crit body piece. he already gets 30% cr and 150% cd from just getting him to 300% break effect. trying to balance all his stats is a complete waste for him, just focus on speed and break effect alone and he'll do more than enough for you. i think you're overestimating the value of atk/crit on him, he breaks weakness incredibly fast with his phys weakness implant anyway so you don't really need to worry about his damage before he weakness breaks
Hoping for a boothill vs firefly comparison as I think that's more relevant to most people when pulling for that specific role. From what I've heard they share a lot of similarities so a comparison is a lot more relevant
As of now boothill seems to be more flexible plus has more damage
Probably won't get that until well into boothills banner when fireflys kit is officially released
Firefly is prone to huge kit change so probably not now. We gotta wait until v3 of beta to know FF fixed kit
As someone that likes Firefly, It saddens me that so far, FF seems like she need a lot of investment to come close to Boothill's damage, I might still get her but for now Boothill is my goal
Boothill is more flexible
Less investment heavy
Better in moc level Aoe
Incomparable in single target
Can work without ruan mei and hmc
Thanks, very helpful. I'll try for E0S1 Topaz, if I miss I'll just save for Ruan Mei and pick up Boothill on his rerun.
I almost think Hoyo was playing 4D chess when they gave Ratio away for free, because now it seems like everyone thinks you "need" luxury pulls like Topaz S1 and E1, Aventurine S1, E2, etc to make followup teams work. When in reality, Ratio is the outlier, and E0S0 Topaz is cracked for literally any other followup unit. For example, my most common pairings with her are Himeko, Kafka, and Clara.
And frankly, every member of the limited 5* followup team before Robin's release (Aventurine, Ruan Mei, Topaz, Ratio) has at least one debuff in their base kit. So if you start the fight with Ratio's technique, when you include breaks (which are very easy to get with this team) his rotations are gonna be fairly smooth even with all units at E0S0. And even swapping RM for Robin will still probably be fine.
Ratio is the most likely to be replaced. You don’t play topaz bc she’s a dps but because she’s a sub dps. Her effective energy is 100 and she has the massive vuln buff. In addition she procs a ton of fua which is good for aven’s shield and robin’s ult.
Topaz is the second to be replaced. Whoever takes her spot needs to have buffing capabilities, and for ratio it must be a debuff. So either vuln or defense shred. A defense shred one would probably be straight up powercreep.
The fact that Numby searches my treasures made her an must pull for me 😂
Numby does what--
@@Nagutama u press her tech in overworld numby comes out and he searches ur stuff by running around and even distract the golden trotters so you u dont have to run after them :)
Nice video but i think you understimated topaz kit a little bit
For a brand new account I kinda think boothill is a better pickup mostly just because of the weakness implant
And great damage value
If leaks are true and Firefly is a fire breakeffect dps that implants fire weakness. Then she kinda fits into this conversation, is it better to just wait and pull her. She is a fire dps like Topaz and scales with breakeffect and has a self type weakness implant like Boothill.
Welp too late already got topass.
She and acheron gives good motivation to 100% maps
Topaz is so good unit . No regret getting her . Something I give Topass LC to Ratio .
You said it: to pass
@@LightsAcapella TOP ASS
That's exactly what I've been doing! lol
Also, I put some low level characters to save some exp materials as Acheron kills things with her technique
@@OCanalDoZ yep both my himeko and Gallagher got about 1/4 exp to 71
Will be him cause he is the most interesting character on the game. Fun personality, well written, broken...he is amazing
Seeing this video on my homepage after getting E1S1 Topaz
I don't agree with Topaz being the unit that will be replaced more easily in the future. Ratio will probably always be the best FuA team member for Single Target Imaginary, but I think new Hunt FuA attackers will likely replace Ratio, while Topaz will stay as a sub-dps / support. Especially if the new hunt units somehow have an ever higher FuA frequency than Ratio, since that would push up numby even more. The fact that she can work also by just spamming basic attacks makes her also flexible for being used with especially SP hungry units.
Yeah I don't know why we are comparing . Sub DPS support hybrid VS main DPS
I'm gonna skip both for the copium that Firefly will be good
Don't think it's cope to think shes gonna be good. She'll definitely be one of the best dps.
Wait until last week of Booty banner which is the v3 of 2.3 beta. We will definitively know how good she is gonna be.
@@santo2sexy if she gets buffed in the beta she will be yeah
@@SM-oc4rcisn’t v3 next Tuesday?
@@tipithedhedhistar4132i think it's on 23
Don't agree that topaz is the weakest link in fua teams. Her synergy with aventurine is too strong.the damage I get from topaz and aventurine far outweighs what I can get from Dr ratio. I know they cannot compete in terms of the highest number but their attack frequency is sooo high that it doesn't matter. She is also a skill point generator when needed or you can use skill point negative and basically double her damage.
Agree, I feel Ratio is more vulnerable to be swapped out for other FUA units, since Topaz can still be as a semi support and sub DPS even without Ratio, and like you said, she can be used to restore SP if needed and it's fine because you can push Numby up for damage. Plus she does work in PF AND MoC, so I think she's still a good character to go for, especially for newer players who managed to get Ratio for free, and having Aventurine on top of it.
I was supposed to comment the same thing.
Ratio definitely is the weakest link since from his passive he asks a lot from the team while giving little, only damage and FUA triggers which other future FUA characters can also Provide.
If we can get a Blast Ratio, or maybe a Front loaded damage Clara, Ratio would get replaced in no time.
His role is truly that of a hypercarry more than being part of the core FUA.
Guys have you tried swapping JingYuan in for Ratio? I was just messing around for a lightning weak enemy but apparently the Topaz-Aventurine debuff cocktail and SP generation + Robin buffs and advance forward maximises his damage for boss targets.
I am terrified of his damage numbers now. Topaz’s ability to make FUA stronger is FRIGHTENING.
@@DailyStruggles-pg9js Yes, you can switch Ratio with any other FUA damage dealer. Depending on the weakness of the enemy, you can alternate them as you need them to be :>.
@@ittobeingamood yeah. that is even more definitive than i thought. could not have said it better. i really like ratio but he doesn't add as much value to the rest of the team as the others do.
Okay the Electric Vehicle example for Boothill is exactly how I feel.
Though I like the weakness implant you say
I just pulled for Topaz and her lightcone since I pulled Jingliu on her last banner and im honestly impressed with her and my only team for her is Clara, Topaz, ruan Mei and sparkle/sustain she hits pretty decent single target damage and very frequently while also buffing Clara, Ratio or any other fua dps this makes her very versatile in the long run I don’t think she’s the weakest link at all that would probably be ratio since he was free they’re probably going to release a better fua dps soon I’m not sure what jade does though she could be another topaz
13:51 I don't know about this, but I think if we get a new FUA dps, they would compete with ratio not topaz. If they are a different element, they would likely not power creep either of them, but be an alternative for elemental coverage.
I got topaz and her lc in 90 pulls, I got 60 pulls for boothill, I’ll swipe my card if I have to, he’s one of my most liked designs along with argenti
I really needed this video so this is perfect
as a new-ish player who got Aventurine + free Ratio. Robin and Topaz complete the team, expensive team but fun. I wasn't willing to wait months skipping all characters. But it's a shame because I'm probably going to have to skip all Break teams too and wait for the Acheron support in 2.4 and just focus on two teams.
Skipping Topaz and pulling for boothill because I had a "Dream" that we're getting Ruan mei for rerun in 2.3
just be wary though, rerun leaks are often inconsistent among all the other accurate ones. We'll find out during boothills banner anyway, so it's still a W for those who dont care about topaz and are set on getting him
Banner data has not been included in beta files since 1.6. So all rerun "leaks" are just guesses.
Definitely the situation I’m in. Do I invest in break? Or Follow-Up teams? I was originally FU, but I legit can’t stand Robin’s ult/her song. And well Numby… creeps me out 😅. I think I’ll reserve my FUs for Pure Fiction with Herta, maybe Jade cause I like the characters more.
I'll just build them both 😂
I want to have an almost perfect FUA Team (Topaz, Aventurine, Robin, Ratio), almost Perfect DoT Team (currently: Guinaifen, Black Swan, Asta, Lynx (need to pull Kafka and other units) and coming with Boothill, I want to build an almost perfect Super Break Team
Sadly, topaz won't work functionally good without S1 or E1 in Fua team with Ratio. Maybe we can just replace Ratio with another fua dps, but im not that hooked to jade or patient enough for another fua dps. So the motherfudger is the better option Imo
by herself? no, she wont. silver wolf and pela are better.
But in full team of aventurine, ratio, robin, topaz? that's way different story, both for aventurine and robin benefitting from topaz FUAs, not only ratio.
jade doesnt work with ratio at all, she is to erudition as topaz is to fua.
Skill issue
Boothill might even be better than firefly RIP
Fr 💀
For Single Target, yes. But vs Two to three enemies, Firefly can kill them at the same time. Their damage numbers is close with Boothill having an advantage but on single target.
@@RyzenShanks from my "dream" that's not the case. The question for her is always "After break, what now?" As of now, she's kinda nothing outside HTB.
I had a better dream where in I saw a crit build FF perform better and more consistently even after break which actually solidify how bad her break scaling is for what she currently offers.
Well, but that's just what I saw from my dream.
Not in aoe
@@RyzenShanksExcept for the fact that he clears 1 cycle faster than her still in aoe 💀
ngl I just got topaz for her technique + she's all about follow ups, she is fire and she's hunt (ST)
Man this game trolled me. I lost Acheron's 50/50, so I wanted to get Boot or Firefly, saw Boot's 4 stars suck, and thought it would be a good idea to build some pity on Robin to get 4 star eidolons, and got her in like 20-30 pulls which I really did not want. Of course now it reset my pity again and screwed up pulling for someone I did want 🙂
Never pull for 4 stars, learned this the hard way, only pull if you want the 5 star on the banner, also there's a showcase of Boothill E0 and no lightcone, not even a 3 star one, and he still did really good damage
@@SmashTheAdam Yeah, I wanted some Xueyi eidolons and really f myself. Didn't even get any 🥲
@@SmashTheAdam Yeah, I wanted Xueyi eidolons, but just f myself up, and didn't even get any copies 😂
@@vrika4280 tried to do the same on this banner (only did one 10 pull), ended up with Hook and March...I wouldn't have disliked a Robin since I was already on 0 pity dammit
Same here man was pulling for 4 star eidolons as well in Robin's banner got her in 10 pulls🥲 I've learnt my lesson
I don't agree with your Topaz take, replace Topaz? My guy Topaz enables all the the FUA units she's basically the exclusive Nihility disguised as a Hunt debuffer for FUA. Ratio on the other hand is just a DPS unit that does FUA in future if a stronger DPS FUA comes around more than likely Ratio will get replaced over Topaz.
Got Topaz's E1 because seeing what I saw about Firefly made me wanna skip her. Gonna go for E0S1 Boothill after I got Topaz's E1 and then I will Skip Firefly no matter what.
What about Firefly u don't like?
i'm not that sure, that Topaz will be the first unit to replace in FUA teams. It can be Dr.Ratio. But yeah, Robin is kinda replacement for Topaz for sure, as she doesn't need to match enemy weakness that much.
Boothill is part of new brake meta. Probably there will be replacement in future. When it comes to follow up attack Topaz is queen that will not be toppled. Her attack, skill and numby are follow up attacks. She is at same time main dps and support. IMO Topaz is safe pick. At end you should pick char you like more. :)
I skipped Topaz for the first time, now I got her early and even her LC very early. Rebuilding follow-up team.
Unfortunately hmc is not the best support for boothill because a character like bronya is just more efficient for him.
I am gettint Topaz LC and I am getting boothail without LC
Me who already pulled for topaz: hmmm… Interesting
firefly needs to cannibalise HTB kit, or be a 4 star because she's nothing without HTB
Already got Topaz and Boothill looks really nice fun. Firefly is a huge skip for me
I have a feeling that a lot of players will be underestimating Super Break teams, just like how so many are sleelping on Boothill & Firefly. With the addition of that dinosaur mob in MoC i believe 'brute forcing' content will be much harder to do & that crit focused dps units will have a tougher time clearing content. Mihoyo is up to something with this Super Break mechanic going forward.
What are you talking about everyone is praising super break a lot, 99% of the community is only talking about super break
Yeah but does Boothill have GYATTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
look at kit
look at damage deal
look at e0 kit
look at teammate comp
absolutely 4 0 boothill won
topaz kit is ass at e0, boothill deals nuclear damage at e0
midpass need 3 limited character team ( boothill only need ruanmei thats it)
e0 f2p god is boothill, no LC break hunt, no worry, even Acheron get her 4 star crit LC eventually
I mean I agree but Topaz is slept on, she isn't really a "dps" she does deal some nice damage but she's a hybrid between a dps and a FUA support i'd say Boothill can be a better option for new players if they didn't get Ratio
Is Clara also a decent Break hypercarry now?
if you use her on a team with Ruan Mei and harmony MC the enemies will be not be able to attack as much so her counter is useless, so basically only her skill/basic attack will be useful most of the time since her ult doesn't deal damage. (That is is you break enemies quickly.) It feels very wrong for her kit's whole purpose but you can do whatever you want.
she is not for break team, more on her own since she is strong with high attack frequency enemy but break team pretty much require you to knock down the shield as fast as possible, Clara is a very slow unit and not suitable for breaking.
@@haihengh I see, I'm not sure if I should pull Boothill or wait... I'm raising Yanqing as my second hunt after Ratio and XueyiE6 for HMC and Ruan Mei teams... I feel like Xueyi kind of does the same but less single target than Boothill
@@teo2805 yanqing is terrible but if you like him why not ig
@@kapeecoffee yeah I only have Ratio for Hunt and there's that hunt mode coming so I went for it
14:25 hmmmm
Boothill is a nice man, but Topaz is my wifey so...
The better investment is Boothill because you literally ONLY need Harmony TB and she's free but Topaz needs a good FuA DPS and they aren't free, remember Dr.Ratio isn't free anymore.
You can clear all content with both but boothil is the highest single target dps (in my dreams) so much so he'll clear anything and I do mean anything since he Implants Physical
He is the hypercarry dream actually able to go into any content regardless of weaknesses
Basically think of Silverwolf if she was a massive DPSer rather then a supporter
Edit: that being said I'm still skipping both for Firefly my girlypop Sesbian Lex Wife
boothill is nice but e1 topaz feels so good with lighting lord or dr ratio
Already picked up Topass and terrified of how Hoyoverse is going to F me this time.
Nah, I'd get both
Better get Firefly than Topaz if you want Fire element. Firefly applies Fire Weakness so matching element will be never a problem. Firefly also hits three enemies at a time. Firefly is also easy to build with Break Effect and Speed and her best support HMC is a free OP character for Super Break damage. Boothill also applies Physical Damage so he is also good to pull. He is also a break dps character. Both Boothill and Firefly deals tons of damage.
Don't try sell her so hard not everyone likes robot, this why ppl will pick Topaz over her
@@tenten8472 It's fine if they don't like Firefly because of the design. It's understandable. I still have the right to express my opinion on why Firefly is a better pick than Topaz for a Fire DPS.
Topaz is support & not main DPS so ...... Lightning Hunt went Hoyo ?
@@Waifu_Impact_Cunny_Archive Oh She is a support? Why would you want a half baked support instead of getting a strong support?
@@RyzenShankscoz shes a sub dps.
Currently the strongest single target team is ratio robin topaz aven.
Only to be surpassed by boothill, no one else
I saw some comment about Topaz is the weakest link and I also disagree that Topaz is the weakest link.
What I want to add is as Topaz has easy access to follow up, Topaz is the easiest to enable Elation in SU, and soon Divergent Universe. Ratio need debuff, Aventurine need to be hit, same with Clara and Blade.
I do agree that Topaz is kinda high investment, but it is worth it if you into follow up. Topaz E1 or S1 will enable Ratio.
Without Topaz, Ratio isnt really any good.
Add in a Robin and they all do tons of damage together.
@@Ophanim1000 pretty sure ratio was clearing faster with tingyun and pela prior to robins release. He still functions perfectly fine against imaginary weak heavy moc like the current one when run as a hypercarry. This take is just flat out wrong
@@bepo1702 Hypercarry Ratio is not good ANYMORE. I stand by what I said. 4 star characters can outperform him now with the hyperbreak mechanic. He doesnt do much damage and sucks against multiple enemies. In order for him to to keep up he needs a sub-dps. That is why Hoyo released Topaz & Aventurine. To help him out and form the IPC team. Robin is also incredible for this team but she works well with any FUA team.
@@Ophanim1000 he doesn't need a sub dps at all. I went back and tested it and bro still clears comfortably
tow complete different unit, Topaz's pig move very fast, especially combo with Robin, boothill on the other hand, is a very slow nuke unit. topaz is an very important part of follow up team, she will always be the 2nd dps and buffer of follow up team, first DPS can be replaced with any other unit base on the situation. boothill's role on break team is the shield breaker and first dps, his number is very good, but his short coming is also very visible, he is single target, and break team require shield breaking, so there are certain boss fight he will be struggle. while break team is easy to build, but also have issue that the amount of buff that helps break team is very limited, crit/crit demage and demage deal buff are pretty useless for break team, so as good as ruanmei is, her damage buff is not helping the break team at all. follow up team do not have as much limitation as break team. i would say Topaz is more valuable compare to boothill, especially Jade is going to help out follow up team to transform into IPC team.
I want the space cowboy but Topaz was the right one for me this time.
I didn’t think I needed Topaz but fell for the allure of the RRAT team since I was adamant on getting Aventurine and Robin was badly needed for a limited 5 star harmony (missed Ruan Mei and Sparkle). Was pleasantly surprised by how great the FUA team was and then found myself terrified by how a half-built E0S1 Topaz, half-built Robin, and half-built E2S1 Aventurine buffed my JingYuan better than my usual team. I have never seen a boss have their HP bar shredded so quickly outside of simulated universe. I admit that my relics suck but like, how was the difference so huge compared to Luocha, Bronya, and Tingyun?!
For the meantime, I think I will focus on refining my FUA team comps since I’m missing quite a lot of pieces for break teams (bro I don’t even have Gallagher nor any break effect gear to throw on DPS). Meanwhile, Aventurine is my staple sustain now so I will always need at least Robin, Ratio, or Topaz to make the most of him.
Even after getting Firefly for a Fire DPS, I think I can still make use of Topaz because of her place in Aventurine teams. Topaz might even function as a good support for Firefly because of her debuffs, and I can slap on a Penacony set for extra kicks. Like seriously, Ratio is the most replaceable in the RRAT team, everyone else is a cracked support that also does considerable damage by their own right.
Choosing between a woman that tried to sell an entire planet to her corporation and make all of their generations work for said corporation even if they don't want to , and cool cyborg cowboy man who hates that corporation, yeah I think I already know what I'm gonna choose
No hate to Topaz fans, I just hate the IPC so much, even the ones in side missions (except Aventurine and Ratio, they're good)
Yee haw to you too partner 🤠
You hate Topaz cuz IPC, but love Aven and Ratio? They are IPC too.
Just sounds misogynist to me
yall really gotta stop letting fiction get into your feels this much...
@@Forakus Yeah the guy in OG comment is really glossing over a lot of Boothill's crimes by just saying "cool cowboy".
In the confrontation with Dan he pretty much said he has the freedom to interpret the Ranger credo as he wants at any moment to resolve a dispute. He won't harm an "innocent" but he redefines "innocence" of his enemies/bystanders at a whim.
well im geting both so
Topaz is: SP positive, highest frequency attacker, procs other follow-up attacks the best, deals damage and supports FuA damage.
Ratio deals more damage, but he's gimmicky. That's why China doesn't play him as much as they play Topaz. He'll be the first to get the boot.
first🎉
I love this channel because while every other creator might go the generic route of Aventurine vs. Fuxuan and do that conversation to death (which yes it has been addressed here too), this is an actual interesting debate. What should newer players invest in? Break vs. FuAs? If you ask me, Break is by far the easiest to build. Getting over 200% Break is easy with the Watchmaker set on one character. And if I was a beginner at this game, I'd immediately pick up Robin, Boothill, HTB, and Ruan Mei upon a rerun. You will shred through the early game like butter. Lol
Topaz is not a bad unit at all and her support has grown over the game's lifecycle BUT her team is more expensive in terms of pulls, time and investment. However, my God is FuA so broken. You take so many turns and I don't think people realize how integral Numby is to activating more FuAs. Even Jade's leaked kit I argue isn't as consistent as Topaz with Numby for Ratio.
Overall, thanks for the video! Your quality is consistently top notch for HSR!
HOLY BABY. I'm definitely not skipping him. That physical implant just removes the need for a fire character in a team in the first place, if you ever need one. I do have RM and I am so happy that I didn't skipped her (lol imagine skipping RM).
Also, if they put RM on the same banner with Firefly I'm gonna LMAO.
thats soo true... i really need a fire dps carry and i only have himeko shes e3 and shit but i dont like her at all.... my plan was to pull topaz... one because i really like her and i love fua, but the fua chars that i love is JY and clara, and their best teams dont even use topaz, i dont have aventurine either... soo i changed my plans to get firefly... but after the gameplay leaks.. i find her really undewhelming on the animations department... i know she will be a monster dps... but omg the boothill animations are sooo fking awsome... that im sold.. have to get him now.. sorry firefly
I know im very late, but i hope you laughed your ass out loud 😂
From a perspective of a new player, Topaz does not seem to offer much compared to the other units in this version.
For FuA teams Robin will be a cheaper (easy relics, f2p lc, works well at e0) and more universal option. For damage, Boothill will likely be a better choice, mostly due to him being able to add physical weakness to enemies - a new player will be able to pair him with HMC, Gallagher and eventually Bronya (300 warps in the worst case) and make a team that can be used in almost all future content. Finally there is FuXuan, who in my opinion will also have more value for a new account than Topaz.
I already have Gallagher E1 and Ruan Mei, just hoping I win the 50/50 and getting Boothill
@@varanisshouyou4379 damn, you managed to get Aventurine, Topaz and Robin back-to-back?, guess you have Aventurine's luck
@@varanisshouyou4379 I think that's mainly due to Aventurine - I was able to clear most of the SU thanks to him, even with some weird paths and blessings :)
I'm running a similar team in MoC, but with Pela instead of Topaz and I've been having a good time, too. I'm usually struggling with the second side, and that's why I'm aiming to grab either Boothill or Firefly next.
just mere same element alternatives doesn't mean anything imo (bh with arg lk ss). it rarely matters in endgame, so that section is pretty irrelevant. please focus more on their endgame performance, thanks.
I watched your Xueyi video and thought: You know what? I'm going to pull for her Eidolons...
I ended up with E6 March, E6 Hanya, E1 Robin, and yes... not a single Xueyi Eidolons... What the actual f....
I got 2 Xueyis from approximately 170 pulls for Topaz (I lost the 50/50) but woohoo! I got a whole 13 Hanya eidolons. (So my Xueyi is now at E1)
Do i build xueyi or jingliu? Btw i don't have bronya or sparkle or an abondance 5* i have adventurine and I'm planing to get fu xuan next banner. Like can xueyi do well even against non quantum weak bosses
i built JIngliu, but i'm currently building Xueyi for my HMC and boothill
Should i pull boothill if my only 5 stars DPS is yanging or general?
shouldn’t you have dr ratio as well?
BBBBBBREAK
I doubt Galaxy Rangers have a team comp theme since they go on through own journeys. IPC is strongly focused on FUA and that’s been made clear
I lost 50/50 in topaz banner 😭, should i pull again or let it go 🥲
I think Topaz is pretty much completed. Meaning she's already got her best team. If you want to play that team, you go for Topaz.
It's very unlikely that she is gonna get more future buff through new characters.
Saying that is implying that they will never release another character with follow up attacks lol. Whenever a new FUA DPS or in general FUA unit will release she will get a "buff". Being a support allows the character to be relevant for pretty much the rest of the game. Unless they delete the concept of FUA she will always have a place in top tier teams
What a weird thing to think
@@Doctor_Faust17 tell me, how is Jade a buff to Topaz?
@@YumiSumire Here's a funny thing about supports, they get buffed by the game whenever a DPS that fits their specific niche gets released, just my opinioni but FUA damage increase seems to work pretty damn well with characters that have FUA's in their kit (and Jade will be a FUA)
@@Doctor_Faust17 here's a funny thing about Jade, she does not buff Topaz. In fact, putting them together would make both deal way less damage.
Topaz - numby, ass. Boothill - kevin, fudge. Topaz wins every time, beat this analysis.
Doesnt make sense what he says about Topaz. If they release a character like Topaz, just run the new character and Topaz together for near infinite FuA.
If anything, Ratio is being replaced in the premium FuA team for a FuA character that has a blast and higher attack frequency - not to mention Ratio debuff requirements are a pain in the ass.
Literally one patch later, Boothill already has competition in Firefly... nuff said.
unpopular opinion all 1.0-1.13 (kafka blade loucha silver wolf seele and king yuan) should be added to the standard banner and hoyo should make a new 300 pity system for them just like how they did it before but now they should add in all characters from 1.0-1.3 since most arent worth summoing for, like seele and king yuan and we dont need to have reruns for them anymore!
Q: Who offers better investment value between Boothill and Topaz?
A: Firefly
A: Yes.
Right now boothill clears firefly (i'm a firefly fan) truth has to be said, he utilizes break WAY better and smacks bosses
Pulling Firefly LC for Firefly ❌
For Xueyi & Misha ✅
Sushang but with Boothill LC ✅
My LC banner is guaranteed limited 5 star LC next 10 pull
Nah, save it. SU LC is good enough for Xueyi, and Sushang isn’t good enough for Boothill LC.
