    Here's a lengthy comment regarding the builds shown:
    In general, all characters need more SPD (around 135 or something), since it allows them more opportunities to attack/heal/whatever they do + if they get slowed or CC'd, they will come back pretty quickly again. Now, time for the individual characters:
    Luocha: 4pc Musketeer is better than 2pc Musketeer + 2pc Prisoner, since 4pc Musketeer also gives 6% SPD (same amount as 2pc Messenger) and I think Luocha has enough ATK. Since Luocha is a healer, Crit is pretty much useless on him, unless you build a DPS Luocha. If you still want ATK from the planet sets from Simulated Universe, Fleet of the Ageless is better than Space-Sealing Station, because once you reach 120 SPD, the entire team gets 8% ATK (including Luocha). In other words: Fleet of the Ageless offers utility to the entire team.
    Himeko: I think The Day the Cosmos fell is slightly better than the breakfast light cone. The Day the Cosmos fell can be purchased in the Forgotten Hall shop.
    Herta: The Crit DMG💀. 4pc Ashblazing Grand Duke is the best for Herta yes. Same goes for Salsotto too.
    Xueyi: About the mask in her ult, it looks more like a Nuo opera mask (the one that Xiao and all the yakshas have) to me. It would be more logical if it was a Nuo opera mask, since Xianzhou is based on Chinese culture and onis are Japanese. Also, the Crit looks a little yikes, but I have literally zero idea how to build her, since my Xueyi is currently benched in level 20 and I don't really plan to use her.
    Gepard: Yes, SPD boots are better than DEF boots, but most of all: DEF sphere is better than Ice DMG, since Gepard isn't supposed to deal damage at all. Crit on Gepard is, like Luocha, useless unless you build DPS Gepard.
    Argenti: Regarding light cone, I think the same principle applied on Himeko applies to Argenti as well.
    Ratio: Regarding light cone, don't you have Cruising in the Stellar Sea (Herta shop light cone)? It's by far the best F2P Hunt light cone in the game. Regarding relic sets, 4pc Wastelander is only viable if you imprison enemies (in other words, you pretty much need Welt on your team to fully utilise it). Rutilant on Ratio💀 - I understand that you want 8% Crit Rate, but Rutilant?? Salsotto is much better for Ratio, since his follow-up attacks are his main source of damage, not his skill or basic attacks (his basic attacks are useless). Also the Crit DMG💀.
    QQ: To trigger her follow-up attacks relatively consistently, there are two important things to consider: 1. Gotta use her skill to gamba her way to the enhanced basic attack, since each skill use has a 24% chance to trigger a follow-up for the basic attack (Let's say you use 3 skill points to get an enhanced basic attack. Because of how probability works, after using 3 skill points, you have ~56% to trigger a follow-up with QQ). The more skill points consumed, more likely it is to trigger the follow-up attack, although after 5 skill points or so, the probability increase becomes quite negligible. 2. Her original basic attack cannot kill the enemy. If it does, the follow-up attack will not trigger. That's why, ironically enough, QQ, as an erudition character (known for their multi-target prowess), is much better suited for single-target scenarios than multi-target ones. Also, the Crit DMG💀. Like most DPS-characters, QQ wants a 1:2 Crit ratio.
    Jing Yuan: Don't know much regarding Jing Yuan, but when it comes to light cones, intuitively the same principle shall be applied as previously on Himeko and Argenti. 4pc Ashblazing Grand Duke is Jing Yuan's best, since your skill and ult stack up the follow-up attack damage of the set, which is then applied on Lightning Lord.
    Yanqing: All I know about him is that you pretty much need Gepard for him to work. If he gets attacked, all his damage just disappears among the sea of butterflies. Also, ERR rope doesn't really make sense to use on a DPS.
    Sampo: DoT doesn't scale on Crit, making Crit essentially useless on Sampo. In other words, DON'T BUILD CRIT. 4pc Prisoner is his best-in-slot relics just because of its DoT buffing. I say it like 9, since IX is the roman numeral of 9.
    Just a question: What has Xipe done to upset you so greatly that you refuse to use any Harmony characters?
    Also, sorry if I sounded rude or something. That was clearly not my intention. I just wanted to say what I had in mind.

      The comment didn't even remotely sound rude to be honest. I mean, I did say at the beginning of the video that I was basically asking for advice.
      I did realize that characters need SPD to make the fight more efficient, I do see it with Himeko almost always going first, but is it also good for Luocha? Now that I think about it, if everybody is fast, it wouldn't really change the duration of his healing field... I will think about Fleet of the Ageless, though. I should have some planar ornaments already, so it's all about whether there are good ones, otherwise he's going to have to wait because farming for Acheron is a real pain right now...
      I honestly never really checked Herta's shop apart from Xueyi's light cone, but it does give her better boosts, it seems.
      When it comes to Chinese folklore, I'm still very clueless, reason why I never even heard about the Nuo opera mask (and I don't even have Xiao...). I'm still learning, it'll take time XD
      I'll gladly change Gepard's sphere to DEF, because sometimes it doesn't feel like his shield is really enough.
      I do have Cruising in the Stellar Sea for some reason, I remembered the image when I cheched it out on the wiki, I guess I'll give that to him. As for Rutilant, I followed a UA-cam video about his build, that's why I went for it, but it does make sense to improve his follow up attack, since it's already powerful as it is... As for the relics, I didn't understand what you meant. Is Wastelander bad for him?
      I do gamble with Qingque's skill, but I either get the enhanced attack on the first try, or I gamble a lot and the follow up attack still doesn't happen. I suppose she just hates me at this point XD
      But yeah, I do need to fix her build...
      As I imagined, Jing Yuan does need ashblazing. That's going to be another nightmare, I already know...
      I knew that energy regeneration didn't make sense for Yanqing, that's why I didn't even know why it was there in the first place. I don't know where I got that information from, but it's going to change, fast.
      So, about Sampo, his DoT doesn't change whether he has 0 or 100 crit rate, is that what you meant? So his crit rate only works for his actual attacks, but not for wind shear... I'll have to farm for Prisoner as well, it seems...
      I also think that IX should be pronounced either 9 if it's the simple Roman number, or 9th if it's the English variant, but Himeko does say "I X" separately in one of her voice lines on Jarilo. Luckily, we are about to. Learn more about the Nihility with Acheron, so we will probably learn how the deva decided the name to be pronounced soon!
      Xipe didn't really do anything to me XD I don't know why I don't like buffs. Maybe my brain thinks "there's an enemy, I have to attack it", so using skills on my own characters feels like I'm doing the opposite of what I'm supposed to do. Maybe? I don't know XD

      @@ShadowXImpact Regarding Ratio and 4pc Wastelander: I mean it still works, but the problem is that the enemy has to specifically be imprisoned (which can only occur through Welt or imaginary weakness break) for the said Crit buffs to actually apply. Otherwise it's the same as only running 2pc Wastelander. I'm not an expert, but from what I know, he should have same set as Acheron (4pc Pioneer Diver).
      Regarding Sampo and DoT: You're correct.

    Regarding Yanqing, he actually doesn't really need that much crit rate, cuz in his buffed state, his crit rate is increased by a lot, so you can just go all in to crit damage instead. Also the key thing about Yanqing is that he really doesn't want to get directly hit, cuz that's how you lose his buffed state, and so Gepard is pretty much his bestie here. Also unlike other Hunt characters, Effect Hit Rate isn't useless on him! it'll just increase the chance for his follow up to freeze enemies which can come in clutch sometimes.
    I would recommend building Pela if you want to try out a mono Ice team with Gepard, Pela, Herta and Yanqing.

    • @ShadowXImpact
      @ShadowXImpact  10 місяців тому

      That's really interesting! But, if I remove his crit rate body, wouldn't I lose the ult and follow-up boosts of Inert Salsotto? Or do I get them through his skill? Is 103 crit dmg low?
      I guess I'll have to fix his entire build at this point, to give him some effect hit rate, more crit dmg and deal with the crit rate...
      That'll have to wait after I manage to get Acheron's relics, which seems very (intentionally) impossible. I'm only getting heads and hands, rarely bodies but they're almost all healing output ones.......
      Can a mono ice team even be a thing in Star Rail? I never considered using just one element. Though, Pela seems someone I should actually build, especially with Acheron, as they showed in the livestream.... Another character to build....

      @@ShadowXImpact his skill and ult give himself upto 80% crit rate, so with your current build you're gonna overkill on crit rate haha. I think you can just settle with just 20 crit rate. Also i think the bonuses from salsotto will be activated regardless cuz you'll be using his skill and ult all the time.
      Mono Ice is the no brainer choice if you're going for Rememberence path in SU, and it basically just trivializes the gamemode most of the time xD

      @@ShadowXImpact Personally for my Pela build, I'm using the 4pc wind set, so whenever she ults her action is forwarded by 20%, which is quite nice cuz she can get her ult back pretty quick. As for her planar set, I'm using the Penacony set for the extra ER and bonus ice dmg for fellow ice characters.
      Her mainstat priority is Effect Hit Rate body/ SPD boots/ HP or DEF planar/ ER rope.
      For substats EHR, SPD, HP/DEF.
      As for her her LC, Resolution (Luka's LC) is honestly her best choice, followed by 4* Silver wolf LC and then Sampo's LC.
      As to how to play her, she's quite simple to use! just BA until she gets her ult > Ult as soon as you can or wait until they've summoned all the fodder enemies. You only ocassionally use her skill if the enemy has some problematic buffs, she can just dispell it easy peasy. If you have her E4 however, she can reduce a single targets' ice res too which makes any ice DPS dealing with a boss enemy a little bit faster.

      To be honest, I usually dread building characters. In Genshin Impact, I have 64 characters, but I only built like 9 or 10 and I hated every second of it.
      The same happened with Star Rail. I basically got the sets that seemed to be the right ones and I didn't really care about the stats. Like, they all were ATK% in the beginning, except for Natasha who obviously needed HP or March who needed DEF.
      Then, when I learned about Himeko's build with Ashblazing Grand Duke, something clicked and I just got obsessed with building characters, which is entirely uncharacteristic of me!!!
      Anyway, when it comes to Blade, it's not a question of hoping to get him anymore. I've been saving for ages, so I have more than enough to lose the 50/50 and still get both Acheron in 2.1 and him whenever he comes back XD

      The editing is the least of your problems by the way. I made this video very flashy, and I didn't even get 100 views, but I got so many more on videos that had way less graphic effects, so the editing doesn't really make a difference most of the times

      @ShadowXImpact  10 місяців тому +1

      Considering how many times I used all 5 skill points + the bonus one and I didn't get the enhanced attack, something tells me I would miserably lose that triple layer rng as well XD
      As for my thoughts on the story, I don't have enough knowledge to make an educated guess, so I wouldn't be able to actually have a chance at predicting the story, but I'm extremely curious to see who Acheron really is. Is she actually a Galaxy Ranger, or an emanator of the Nihility, or both? Is she a Self-Annihilator? Why does she care about nothing, but also take action in some occasion? Like, she doesn't even remember who the Annihilation Gang are, but she still defeated Duke Inferno. Why did she do that?
      I'm also curious to see what is going to happen with Firefly. I do hope she doesn't turn out to be an enemy or one of the Stellaron Hunters, like the cat we always see (because she said her real body has problems). I kinda wish she's going to become one of the Nameless XD
