The reason Bronya and Pela are so strong is because... have you seen those stacks of papers in the Qlipoh Fort office? They're carrying their entire civilisation, and literal physical tons of paperwork, on their backs, every day. The gains must be out of this world.
I legitimately hope that this game doesn’t turn into a DPS check in the future. I really like stalling, debuffing, and just surviving tactics in this game
The good thing about HSR compared to Genshin is that we have content for both rn. SimU can facilitate tankier builds (especially w/ Abundance and Preservation), while MoC is like the Spiral Abyss, where all it cares about is how fast you can kill shit.
simulated universe kinda has a soft dps check w/ the enrage timer but i've never triggered it even when i went almost all abundance for world 6, kinda funny
Fire MC and Natasha have saved so many of my runs just by existing together. I'm really glad there's another gacha where the free MC is a top tier team shielder and tanker like Mash 🥰

@@AeliusSky the thing is the preservation path hits as hard or harder, while giving you the defence, even more so in world 5 when there is a preservation buff that cleanses you when you gain a shield, which works with the mind control. Thats how i was able to beat it at least

Yeah-also, somehow, even though Bailu’s in the game, I’d venture to say she’s the cutest character in Star Rail! Absolutely precious and I adore her so much
So glad Gepard is getting love. He was my beginner 5* and is carrying me in the hardest content. For some reason the game also gave me his E1 and 5* light cone so he just infinitely taunts/freezes and can solo sustain teams with his shields.
If you need an idea for guide content: Paths for Simulated Universe (and maybe if one is better for certain worlds over others/ certain team archetypes). I havent really seen anyone talk about this in depth and I know Ive only tried a few of the paths.
I don't know if u knew about this already but, path of abundance are really good for under lvl clears in worlds 5-6. I would go with picking resonant formation Anatta 1st then picking up Annica for the 2nd one. Keep in mind that the clear will be longer, one other thing to note is needing to killing bronya 1st when u reach the 2nd hp bar for Cocolia in world 6
destruction is the best balance between damage and safety and abundance is the safest. Hunt only scales well well with built characters but high damage
Honestly they’re all really good and depends on what you want and what teams you are using. For example, if you use someone like Sampo or Hook, the nihility one is pretty insane. If you get some of the nice buffs, you pretty much just have to survive and they will just die off dot effects alone while dealing 0 damage and giving your team full energy.
I would think that you choose the path of the character you want to get advantage. Seele for example you should pick hunt because it gives her more turns. Clara is good with elation because its gives buffs to follow up attacks which she does. I would say there isnt a right answer. The fun is you making weird builds so characters get stronger. Its not that hard that you need to sweat and tryhard with a spreadsheet.
Before I played the game I was like Gepard who? Now I’m so glad I got him as my first 5 star he’s literally perfect I couldn’t have asked for a better pull. Plus his idle animation is so adorable!
From what i get after maining her for the past day is, use speed stuff to your another character and make her do the last turn that way she can have like 3mahjong ready and higher chance getting enhanced attack. After using her enhanced attack just use her ultimate to restore her mahjong stacks and do following enhanced attack again. Use support speed like bronya, asta, tingyun for making her kinda hypercarry.
@@nweiioonn6007 I always pair her with Tingyun. With Tingyun and Nat on the same team you have more than enough skills to try your luck but imo it's better to just roll once or twice every once in a while and get the ult as soon as possible. There have been times where I got all for tiles naturally and the ult right after and its so satisfying
Rng will always be an issue but the thing is, even if you don't get her enhanced auto, she still can deal a lot of quantum damage thanks to her damage multiplier she gets every time she uses her skill. Like her enhanced attacks are almost Selle level and her unenhanced attacks still hit pretty hard thanks to the self buff. The trade off is that she is a dps you want to max her auto attack because it directly contributes to her dps unlike other dps characters.
@@nweiioonn6007 the fact Qingque has both the functionality of a 3* and a 6* hero at the same time is ironically hilarious for both giga chad Yay and Nay reasons.
I'd really appreciate a Yanqing guide. I have Seele but I also really enjoy Yanqing and think he's cool, so a video on how to make him work would be useful. I've seen a lot of other people who pulled him as well and could use it. Really guides for all the standard 5 stars would be neat.
As far as yanqing goes, you'd want the blizzard set, either the 5 star lc from the shop or his own 4 star lc, pair him with march or fire mc and make sure his passive is always up. With bronya you can do alot of dps straight away. While he is not as good at seele at clearing he can have very similar dps output with stoulseel sync and his ultimate.
@@505reaper8 Blizzard set is actually worse performing than 2pc/2pc on him. This is why I think a guide would be good, there are a lot of misconceptions surrounding him and his power level that make him deserving of a deeper dive
Me too. I was using him with March Seven but her passive was taunting the attacks to Yanqing and his passive was useless. I just got gepard and I fuckin love him. Rn I play Gepard, Yanqing, Tingyun, Natasha Also I don't know why I got eidolon 4 Natasha already 😂
@@505reaper8 march is not ideal for yanqing bc u want the dmg away for him to keep his skill buffs up, but with march's shield, it taunts enemies to attack him instead, fire mc or gepard (moreso gepard) are your best in slots along with tingyun/bronya/pela
@@cronchee Yeah just mentioned march since most people using yanqing are newer players without fire mc yet. But if you have fire mc it pairs up much better especially because tha taunt and yanqings passive means he almost never gets hit, adding on the landaus choice lightcone on top of that make it a really good pairing.
Yep agreed with Bronyas turn advancement being absolutely clutch in harder content. I was about to die to cocolia so I moved up my bailu and that allowed me to full heal my team and prevent an instant wipe. An amazing character I always make sure to fit in her in any team I make.
Before I read up on anyone's kit, I just wanted Bronya because I liked her a lot in Honkai 3rd. I got her as my first guaranteed 5*, and oh boy, she's lived up to everything I wanted her to be. She and Seele are the deadliest of girlfriends. Now I'm going for Welt because he's also a chad in Honkai.
Mission failed successfully - Sushang hit 11.8k with her burst today and cried for 15 minutes because of that. I was trying to showcase my Seele (Without fox lady character(i don't have her))
What do you use? With Bronya Pela and Asta I was able to hit 20k with Seele at lvl 50, she had her sig light cone 100% crt damage and 30% quantum damage
@@JustSomeWeirdo that’s such a strange comparison? How did it even happen? We know on equal terms Seele just has higher damage numbers than Susheng period so the argument doesn’t make sense.
Would be great to see team comp analysis of these reported memory of chaos clears including how they built their characters to synergize in that team composition
Tingyun is just too good. I got her and Bronya, so suffice to say that physical MC was dishing out the homeruns very early on. But unlike Bronya, you're much more likely to get our foxy lady as the pool of 4 stars is still small due to the game just launching. As an experienced Genshin Impact player, I'd give the advice to always check the store to see if you can get a copy of Tingyun from the monthly resets. Cheers Traiblazers!
If I don’t pull Tingyun soon I’m def picking up a copy from the shop. You honestly don’t even need her Eidolons, she’s already insanely good at E0. The eidolons just give you more energy which is nice but not necessary.
Thanks for mentioning Gepard. He was my 50 roll 5 star and his shield protected my whole team though basically everything. Meanwhile everyone is telling me to use healers and when I did, they died XD. You don't need to heal if all dmg is mitigated by a shield, plus March, who counters if enemies hits her shield, counters off Gepards team shields, so you'll see a lot more of March countering.
Then, i can be happy, that i got Clara and Gepard as my first two 5* :D And i always thought that Natasha is great. She is also one of my most favourite characters in general.
I was running Clara as DPS because I got her first. No complaints. But then I pulled Seele finally. Put her in some random Attack % gear etc... and a level 40 light cone... and she started clearing waves by herself... and I said. OK now we start. LOL. But honestly Clara is still so awesome. They are just different.
@@benjaminroe311ify lol same for me, I run them both on the same team with March and Natasha, and shield clara for the taunt so seele don’t die + extra dmg
4:46 ME APPRECIATE MY GEPARD BABY SO DAMN MUCH... I CAN'T EXPLAIN IN WORDS. Like dang.... He carried me all the way from 10 to now... Still carrying hard. 💖💖💖💖💖
I have Yanqing and honestly, he’s been pretty awesome. I get he might not be as consistent as some of the other 5* characters but I love my little guy!
Yeah people are actually underestimating him , i have him aswell at Lv.60 currently with his Ice Set + 2 pieces of Legendary Crit Dmg set. With Tingyun buff i constantly dish out 35k crits with his ult ... his multipliers are insane, he just needs some investment Edit: Same with Arlan, he hits like a truck, especially with his Light Cone and doesnt even need Skill points for his skill
@@combobreaker1059Thing about Arlan I built him and used him I thought he was crazy good with how much damage I was doing but then I built Susheng and Seele and Hook too. Only after using this 3 did I realize how low Arlan’s damage actually is compared to others. It feels like a lot but for some reason it’s actually not very good lol. Yanqing looked like such a good unit and I read the last line of his passive that he loses all buffs when he gets hit and I never looked at him ever again. Why’d they have to do that it’s so sad.
@@The_Lightless You can easily play around that with Shields, only if he loses HP those buffs go away. I have both Seele and Yanqing maxed and almost optimised Equip for them, Seele is better for cleanup while Yanqing actually deals more Damage to bosses because you can easily go Full Crit Damage without needing Crit Chance at all. His Dmg Multipliers are pretty insane. Also Arlan can deal more Damage aswell, its just harder to achieve because you need him Low HP to dish out some crazy numbers. But like i said, his strenght is that he doesn't need to consume skillpoints and can just spam his Skill
@@combobreaker1059 I don’t like units who force you into such a one directional playstyle or they become not that great. Also about the shielding, it feels like an unreliable strategy because when you’re trying to do harder content underleveled the enemies break your shields in one hit anyways.
Loves the vids, Brax! When I first started HSR, I came straight to your channel and was not disapointed. Keep up the good work! Also, maybe do a video taking a look at the actual numbers of things? (Honkai Spreadsheet Rail xD)
I invested so much time into Pela and was disheartened to see her getting a lot of hate honestly. So I’m glad that she’s actually getting recognized as a good character. My team is Seele, Natasha, Bronya and Pela. It’s my favorite team and I can clear a lot of content with them. Though I do swap characters frequently so that way I get a chance to play every character. I really like Sampo’s playstyle also!
Clara is strong because she is the only unit that allows a five person team. _(not counting the new lightning lord)_ Svarog has the counters, Clara has the buffs and taunts.
i pretty much benched gepard once i got fire mc for general play, but i have pulled him out for double shielder shenanagins in simulated world. enemies will murder themselves with quake damage if you go preservation path.
Something i haven't heard any content creators talk about is Gepard's later Ascension 6 passive making his attack increase by 35% of his CURRENT defense, meaning it's not just taking into account his base defense, but also any relic boosts and buffs (like bronya buffing the defense of all allies by 20%). Not only will Gepard carry your team in early levels with his fat shield, but deeper into lifespan of the game when we get around to ascension 6, he'll turn into a cracked version of Noelle or Itto from Genshin that can also back a huge punch, he was definitely slept on for more than 1 reason through the start of HSR
And that trace is locked behind ascension 6 which is late game where 35% defense has lower scalings than just regular attack. I have no idea what you are talking about. Besides that, Gepard will definitely excel at late game for sure after farming relics.
My beginner 5 star was Gepard. I didn't have Natasha yet and I saw that you really want energy on him for the shields. That's when I found the value of Tingyun for that energy pop,damage buff, AND extra lightning attack with Benediction. She really is the Honkai Star Rail Benny/Xingqui. I'd say the best utility character so far. I lost my Seele 50/50 and got Clara. The March 7th/Clara combo is straight busted. Clara's ult is just insane damage and multi target hit. I've cleared everything so far after I pulled her with the March/Clara/Natasha/(Flex) team with next to no trouble.
could you perhaps make a video about teams that we can use for simulated universe, forgotten hall, etc? it would be helpful, because i still having trouble making the right team for each game mode 😔
Love your content. Can you do a video on the best 5-star light cones including the standard banner ones? They’re available for 600 (starglitter) and I’d love to know what is best and how they stack up vs the ones in Herta’s shop. Thanks!!
I have both seele and yanqing, and both have their own uses, yanqing doesn't have the same extra turn mechanic, but has passives for not getting hit that make him absolutely insane if you can keep enemies away from him. His overall damage is absolutely insane.
Sampo was also used to reach some of the highest ranks in Memory of Chaos as well. Although it probably had to do with his element being wind and enemies at that level having weakness to wind.
Ohayo Brax-neesan I need advice on the following builds Gepard, Natasha, Tingyun, Seele Fire MC, March 7th (now because I've been on edge if I should invest in her or not now I feel I should build her instead of Asta that was supposedly in the position),Pela,Clara Onegai I await your reply as well as feedback from the community Also I took a look at the characters u added on the video just now and it seems I used all of them in the following builds so you can add if the comps are alright or not Also these are mostly the only good characters I have as of rn
I started playing HSR yesterday and was blessed with a Welt from the beginner's banner and a Seela from my first 10-pull with the special pass. I also got a couple Pelas in that period and 5-6 Lightcones, one of which turned out to be the best 4* for Seela (Subscribe for more). I was just lvl 11. Now I'm lvl 19 and still every fight seems trivial with those guys. I think I have the most blessed account, things couldn't have gone better.
Got clara as my first 5star and max her out feels weak at the start but rumps up when I got fire MC got 2x when wishing again from the bottom after getting seele on my 31 pull on her that 1 pull made my day XD
For me I think Seele and Himeko have carried my account to TL50. Natasha is literally the only healer you need if you take a stupidly tanky shielder into the other side of Mem of Chaos with level 70 characters. It might take a while with some energy refreshes but holy moly is it easy once you’ve got 8 relatively built characters.
Currently completed up to World 6 and Stage 12 in forgotten halls here's my short takes on the top 10 10. Clara - One of my favorite characters for all content great bruiser being both tanky and doing great damage. 9. March 7th - Haven't built fully but will use her when 2 teams are needed in halls 8. Gepard - Don't own but would likely use if/when pulled 7. Tingyun - Best buffer and great for cycling ults, combos well with Selee as well 6. Natasha - Probably tied with MC for best F2P unit and can be used everywhere as 1 of 2 healers currently out 5. Fire MC - Best F2P unit imo, amazing tank and easy to build with free C6, taunt is undervalued 4. Bronya - Don't have can't say too much I like her skills 3. Pela - Great that she can strip buffs and has an aoe def debuff the freeze is good too 2.Welt - Don't have, but only imaginary unit atm and has good ult from what I know 1. Seele - Absolutely insane, but I could see her getting power crept later on
My favorite character is Herta, her on field time really chips away at enemies but I'm also only lol 30. Going to give Pela more love though after seeing this
On most bosses, buff removal doesn't work on their dmg stacking buff lol The stacking buff most every boss has is a uncleanable buff (the game does tell you that as well). I think it's more there as a soft enrage tbh. Of course it will help on non-dmg stacking buffs.
This is nice to hear I got Bronya in my second 8 pull from the starter banner and was very happy as I liked her design and had not been that lucky with the starter banner in genshin The next day I was doing pulls on the seele banner and on the third pull clicked skip and got Seele - I feel like this account has good luck
Natasha cleanse is bonkers. Helped a lot on simulated world 5 kafka mind control. you don't have to get abundance path just to clear it(very slowly). i just get hunt all the way and speed run the thing with well timed Natasha skills
I'm currently sporting Gepard, Himeko, Bronya, and Natasha (wish I could get Bailu for healing but I'm just not that lucky). I really think my team is very good and balanced but I wish I had Seele for her straiht up single target dps even though Himeko has worked for me just fine. Gepard has about 5.5khp and sports the whole party a 1.7k shield which is insane, and like the video says if you get some energy gain on his relics he becomes even more amazing.
Nat w/ Gepard + Preservation resonance in simulated world is legit unkillable then retaliates with tons of damage. if youre lucky enough to get that quake dmg when your shield takes damage (3 star blessing), you dont even need a damage dealer
The fact that i got clara, E1 gepard, seele, and yanqing's weapon is crazy I can see how gepard is valuable but in SU i barely used him cause the last bosses dont have ice weakness
I often see tier list videos putting natasha on tier 3 but I think she should be high tier 2 or low tier 1. we have several options for dps and a couple for tanks and support(buffers/debuffers) at the moment but there are literally only 2 healers in the game and one of them(bailu) is a 5 star so most players will only have natasha. sure, loucha is an upcoming healer but as another 5 star, most people will still end up having just natasha. defensive characters are crucial in current hom 11-15~moc since we're underleveled and natasha being the only healer for the majority of the playerbase makes her deserving of a higher spot in tier lists imo.
Man I've gotten unlucky and have every 4 star(some even at e6) besides Tingyun and Sushang🥹 I'm planning in wishing on the next banner for them even if I don't really want the lion man. Still managed to clear w6 and f13 forgotten hall at lvl 37 tho:) And I also was kind of disappointed to get Gepard as my first 5 star (wanted Welt, still don't have him), but he helps me clear things brainded and underleveled, and preservation resonance with buffs is busted lol. Also he is Servals sibling🥰 UPD: guys I literally got Sushang, Tingyun and Jing Yuan in 20 pulls after Seele🤨
Welt's skill in open world is so great, it saves so much time and HP dealing with random creeps, and it's AOE so every single enemy inside his skill will be imprisioned right before the battle even start. Him and Himeko are absolutely busted at breaking shields. The breaking shield mechaninc (aoe) is so overlooked when it's one of the best damage boost+life saving in the entire game, while other Debuffers and shielders/healers are great, their abilities to break shields are not that good.
even if i dont have Bronya and got Gepard as my first 5 star..... yeah... he is kinda helpful really on me surviving, maybe the problem for me was DPS, luckily i got Seele yesterday, the problem will be lightcones, still wortking on leveling Simulated Worlds slowly, i don't want to rush much things.....
I think that himeko is a really underrated unit, she is pretty great both un single and multitarget, she get's free aoe burn dots and can Carry a lot of the content, i must say that i'm only AR 39 when i'm writing this so my opinion may vary, however i think that she can only get better with her talents
Agreed and her skill is freaking great, the amount of enemies that she slaughters without you needing to lift a fingers after triggering a break regardless of enemies actually having a fire weakness is insane. + she by far has the coolest ultimate animation in game, can never get tired of seeing her sip her coffee while she nukes everything in the background 😂
Honestly i underrated Gepard until i got Bailu. i was getting kind of bored with march, having to mostly focus purely on healing meanwhile for gepard, if you use bailu you can constantly heal him while he's setting up your shields. and even in the rare scenario of bailu running out of HP, and gepard dying, he still has a revive in the end.
Do you have any recommendations for teams that can't use natasha, bailu or gepard? I only have Natasha and i'm using her in one of the teams, but for memory of Chaos i need 2...
Eyyy.. Glad baby clara is really getting the spotlight. She carried me through. Pretty bummed out i got gepard as my 2nd 5* so, yeah.. but I have tingyun. So my clara is always using ult

@@505reaper8 Blizzard set is actually worse performing than 2pc/2pc on him. This is why I think a guide would be good, there are a lot of misconceptions surrounding him and his power level that make him deserving of a deeper dive
Me too. I was using him with March Seven but her passive was taunting the attacks to Yanqing and his passive was useless. I just got gepard and I fuckin love him. Rn I play Gepard, Yanqing, Tingyun, Natasha
Also I don't know why I got eidolon 4 Natasha already 😂
@@505reaper8 march is not ideal for yanqing bc u want the dmg away for him to keep his skill buffs up, but with march's shield, it taunts enemies to attack him instead, fire mc or gepard (moreso gepard) are your best in slots along with tingyun/bronya/pela
@@cronchee Yeah just mentioned march since most people using yanqing are newer players without fire mc yet. But if you have fire mc it pairs up much better especially because tha taunt and yanqings passive means he almost never gets hit, adding on the landaus choice lightcone on top of that make it a really good pairing.
Glad to see Pela shining at the top, she's one of my favorite characters
Cryo Sucrose
@@advanceringnewholder lmao
Big underrated unit. Sampo. I'm getting exceedingly surprised how his role is as a shield breaker. It's impressive.
Yeah, Nihility units are busted but are vastly overlooked. Waiting for Silver Wolf to be added to the roster.
@@chantararix Btw they changed SilverWolfs Ultimate, she now does Defense Shred 50% and also a Weakness Debuff on the enemy
@@tigrex7403is that good or bad
@@The_LightlessLess damage but more buffs/debuff
@@The_LightlessSo it’s up to your dps
Yep agreed with Bronyas turn advancement being absolutely clutch in harder content. I was about to die to cocolia so I moved up my bailu and that allowed me to full heal my team and prevent an instant wipe. An amazing character I always make sure to fit in her in any team I make.
How did you get 2 of the best 5 stars in the game in the first planet 😭
@@perfectsilhouette3317lmaoo bailu was one of the first ones i got, she’s the only 5 star i have so far tho
Thanks for all the good and high quality HSR content. I love it
Before I read up on anyone's kit, I just wanted Bronya because I liked her a lot in Honkai 3rd. I got her as my first guaranteed 5*, and oh boy, she's lived up to everything I wanted her to be. She and Seele are the deadliest of girlfriends. Now I'm going for Welt because he's also a chad in Honkai.
Mission failed successfully - Sushang hit 11.8k with her burst today and cried for 15 minutes because of that. I was trying to showcase my Seele (Without fox lady character(i don't have her))
I’m so confused why you’re crying? Sushang is great.
@@The_Lightless it’s because he was hoping seele was worth it but sushang does more damage in his current team.
What do you use? With Bronya Pela and Asta I was able to hit 20k with Seele at lvl 50, she had her sig light cone 100% crt damage and 30% quantum damage
@@JustSomeWeirdo that’s such a strange comparison? How did it even happen? We know on equal terms Seele just has higher damage numbers than Susheng period so the argument doesn’t make sense.
@@The_Lightless their build
Building all these extra units for the 2nd floors of Memory of Chaos is going to be a griiiiind!
"Seele", "Saylay", "Seelee", "Serendity", "Sabrina"
Would be great to see team comp analysis of these reported memory of chaos clears including how they built their characters to synergize in that team composition
The different names for Seele has me crying
Tingyun is just too good.
I got her and Bronya, so suffice to say that physical MC was dishing out the homeruns very early on. But unlike Bronya, you're much more likely to get our foxy lady as the pool of 4 stars is still small due to the game just launching. As an experienced Genshin Impact player, I'd give the advice to always check the store to see if you can get a copy of Tingyun from the monthly resets.
Cheers Traiblazers!
If I don’t pull Tingyun soon I’m def picking up a copy from the shop. You honestly don’t even need her Eidolons, she’s already insanely good at E0. The eidolons just give you more energy which is nice but not necessary.
@@The_Lightless shes on the next banner too
@@anheld8726 this was before that was revealed
Thanks for mentioning Gepard. He was my 50 roll 5 star and his shield protected my whole team though basically everything.
Meanwhile everyone is telling me to use healers and when I did, they died XD.
You don't need to heal if all dmg is mitigated by a shield, plus March, who counters if enemies hits her shield, counters off Gepards team shields, so you'll see a lot more of March countering.
Then, i can be happy, that i got Clara and Gepard as my first two 5* :D And i always thought that Natasha is great. She is also one of my most favourite characters in general.
I got gepard, then clara 2x then seele lmao
Congratulationsssssss!!!!
Clara and Gepard are very good stalling combo may aswell speedrunner for harder content the other just pair with natasha and ting yun
with a bit of clever blessings i've seen Clara solo world 6 simulated universe
I mean when you get the blessing which heals her with each follow up she will literally become immortal, so no wonder.
I can't believe that Gepard, Fire MC and Sampo helped me through SW 3 just cuz of shield stalling so much with Path of Preservation.
Seele is the best character in Star Rail...
she also happens to be an insanely strong DPS
I was running Clara as DPS because I got her first. No complaints. But then I pulled Seele finally. Put her in some random Attack % gear etc... and a level 40 light cone... and she started clearing waves by herself... and I said. OK now we start. LOL. But honestly Clara is still so awesome. They are just different.
@@benjaminroe311ifyClara is not a DPS she just does a lot of damage so it’s unfair to judge her based on DPS alone. Seele is just straight up DPS.
@@benjaminroe311ify lol same for me, I run them both on the same team with March and Natasha, and shield clara for the taunt so seele don’t die + extra dmg
4:46 ME APPRECIATE MY GEPARD BABY SO DAMN MUCH... I CAN'T EXPLAIN IN WORDS. Like dang.... He carried me all the way from 10 to now... Still carrying hard. 💖💖💖💖💖
I have Yanqing and honestly, he’s been pretty awesome. I get he might not be as consistent as some of the other 5* characters but I love my little guy!
Yeah people are actually underestimating him , i have him aswell at Lv.60 currently with his Ice Set + 2 pieces of Legendary Crit Dmg set.
With Tingyun buff i constantly dish out 35k crits with his ult ... his multipliers are insane, he just needs some investment
Edit: Same with Arlan, he hits like a truck, especially with his Light Cone and doesnt even need Skill points for his skill
@@combobreaker1059Thing about Arlan I built him and used him I thought he was crazy good with how much damage I was doing but then I built Susheng and Seele and Hook too. Only after using this 3 did I realize how low Arlan’s damage actually is compared to others. It feels like a lot but for some reason it’s actually not very good lol. Yanqing looked like such a good unit and I read the last line of his passive that he loses all buffs when he gets hit and I never looked at him ever again. Why’d they have to do that it’s so sad.
@@The_Lightless You can easily play around that with Shields, only if he loses HP those buffs go away.
I have both Seele and Yanqing maxed and almost optimised Equip for them, Seele is better for cleanup while Yanqing actually deals more Damage to bosses because you can easily go Full Crit Damage without needing Crit Chance at all.
His Dmg Multipliers are pretty insane.
Also Arlan can deal more Damage aswell, its just harder to achieve because you need him Low HP to dish out some crazy numbers.
But like i said, his strenght is that he doesn't need to consume skillpoints and can just spam his Skill
@@combobreaker1059 I don’t like units who force you into such a one directional playstyle or they become not that great. Also about the shielding, it feels like an unreliable strategy because when you’re trying to do harder content underleveled the enemies break your shields in one hit anyways.
Loves the vids, Brax! When I first started HSR, I came straight to your channel and was not disapointed. Keep up the good work!
Also, maybe do a video taking a look at the actual numbers of things? (Honkai Spreadsheet Rail xD)
Clara and Mr.Svarog ☺️☺️☺️ my first 5 star
I invested so much time into Pela and was disheartened to see her getting a lot of hate honestly. So I’m glad that she’s actually getting recognized as a good character. My team is Seele, Natasha, Bronya and Pela. It’s my favorite team and I can clear a lot of content with them. Though I do swap characters frequently so that way I get a chance to play every character. I really like Sampo’s playstyle also!
Clara is strong because she is the only unit that allows a five person team. _(not counting the new lightning lord)_
Svarog has the counters, Clara has the buffs and taunts.
Clara is my first 5 star. She's great. I love how she counters every time she gets attacked..
Hooray! Another braxophone video, yippee!
Yanqing is used in the highest content CONSTANTLY with Gepard. How would you not have him here? I see him way more than Welt or Pela.
i pretty much benched gepard once i got fire mc for general play, but i have pulled him out for double shielder shenanagins in simulated world. enemies will murder themselves with quake damage if you go preservation path.
Hope there will be a clara guide soon 😩 Love your videos. They help a lot
Something i haven't heard any content creators talk about is Gepard's later Ascension 6 passive making his attack increase by 35% of his CURRENT defense, meaning it's not just taking into account his base defense, but also any relic boosts and buffs (like bronya buffing the defense of all allies by 20%). Not only will Gepard carry your team in early levels with his fat shield, but deeper into lifespan of the game when we get around to ascension 6, he'll turn into a cracked version of Noelle or Itto from Genshin that can also back a huge punch, he was definitely slept on for more than 1 reason through the start of HSR
A huge punch is a stretch. He will be dealing more damage than your occasional support/fully tank’d unit.
@@The_Lightlessyeah 35% scaling is just some extra dps
@@MuddyAxolotlhis damage scalings are incredibly low it’s not going to miraculously make him one bang people.
@@The_Lightless yea
And that trace is locked behind ascension 6 which is late game where 35% defense has lower scalings than just regular attack. I have no idea what you are talking about. Besides that, Gepard will definitely excel at late game for sure after farming relics.
This video is entirely and absolutely insane - it is probably the most insane video in the entire youtube :D
great guide, thank you!
interesting sushang didn't make the grade since I have seen a lot of people raving about her
My beginner 5 star was Gepard. I didn't have Natasha yet and I saw that you really want energy on him for the shields. That's when I found the value of Tingyun for that energy pop,damage buff, AND extra lightning attack with Benediction. She really is the Honkai Star Rail Benny/Xingqui. I'd say the best utility character so far. I lost my Seele 50/50 and got Clara. The March 7th/Clara combo is straight busted. Clara's ult is just insane damage and multi target hit. I've cleared everything so far after I pulled her with the March/Clara/Natasha/(Flex) team with next to no trouble.
Im glad i gave gepard a shot, I his e1 skill and hes actually goated now. Im f2p and am on world 7 simulated universe with him.
I've been relying on Geppie a lot and he's so strong in auto scenarios and outside of it. That shield is clutch
Just got her today and her signature lightcone yesterday. Now I really need guide about her 🤠
could you perhaps make a video about teams that we can use for simulated universe, forgotten hall, etc? it would be helpful, because i still having trouble making the right team for each game mode 😔
In turn-based game, any character that can attack outside of your turn, stop the enemy’s turn, or give additional turn to your unit are really strong.
Clara was my first 5 star trying get the ice one on the banner before she leaves lol
Love your content. Can you do a video on the best 5-star light cones including the standard banner ones? They’re available for 600 (starglitter) and I’d love to know what is best and how they stack up vs the ones in Herta’s shop. Thanks!!
THANK U FOR THE CONTENT BRAX🙌🙌🙌
Just Pulled Clara!
My 1st standard banner 5 star.
Then a minutes later the server went down. I'm so glad it was after my pull.
I have both seele and yanqing, and both have their own uses, yanqing doesn't have the same extra turn mechanic, but has passives for not getting hit that make him absolutely insane if you can keep enemies away from him. His overall damage is absolutely insane.
I got Bailu as my free 5-star, and won Seele in about 40 pulls. So I got my hyper carry team pretty early on.
Oh no Clara being strong because of bleed is giving me flashbacks from the lands between
Great video. Now I know who to pull/target. haha. thanks
Sampo was also used to reach some of the highest ranks in Memory of Chaos as well. Although it probably had to do with his element being wind and enemies at that level having weakness to wind.
Man Gebard makes the preservation resonance hit like a NUKE
Great content. Tyvm
Ohayo Brax-neesan
I need advice on the following builds
Gepard, Natasha, Tingyun, Seele
Fire MC, March 7th (now because I've been on edge if I should invest in her or not now I feel I should build her instead of Asta that was supposedly in the position),Pela,Clara
Onegai I await your reply as well as feedback from the community
Also I took a look at the characters u added on the video just now and it seems I used all of them in the following builds so you can add if the comps are alright or not
Also these are mostly the only good characters I have as of rn
Serendipity is really one of the strongest characters right now
I started playing HSR yesterday and was blessed with a Welt from the beginner's banner and a Seela from my first 10-pull with the special pass. I also got a couple Pelas in that period and 5-6 Lightcones, one of which turned out to be the best 4* for Seela (Subscribe for more). I was just lvl 11. Now I'm lvl 19 and still every fight seems trivial with those guys. I think I have the most blessed account, things couldn't have gone better.
Got clara as my first 5star and max her out feels weak at the start but rumps up when I got fire MC got 2x when wishing again from the bottom after getting seele on my 31 pull on her that 1 pull made my day XD
For me I think Seele and Himeko have carried my account to TL50. Natasha is literally the only healer you need if you take a stupidly tanky shielder into the other side of Mem of Chaos with level 70 characters. It might take a while with some energy refreshes but holy moly is it easy once you’ve got 8 relatively built characters.
Clara been carrying me hard. Her ult almost always up and because damage comes from counter she is a SP positive DPS/Off-Tank
0:21 omg that’s my exact team I am now very excited
Gepard is a beast. I've lived through so many battles just because his ult is so strong 💪
My guy ulting non-stop and refuses to die. Like when the enemies kill him, he bounces right up ready to go 😂😂😂
6:42 oh shit button xD love it
Currently completed up to World 6 and Stage 12 in forgotten halls here's my short takes on the top 10
10. Clara - One of my favorite characters for all content great bruiser being both tanky and doing great damage.
9. March 7th - Haven't built fully but will use her when 2 teams are needed in halls
8. Gepard - Don't own but would likely use if/when pulled
7. Tingyun - Best buffer and great for cycling ults, combos well with Selee as well
6. Natasha - Probably tied with MC for best F2P unit and can be used everywhere as 1 of 2 healers currently out
5. Fire MC - Best F2P unit imo, amazing tank and easy to build with free C6, taunt is undervalued
4. Bronya - Don't have can't say too much I like her skills
3. Pela - Great that she can strip buffs and has an aoe def debuff the freeze is good too
2.Welt - Don't have, but only imaginary unit atm and has good ult from what I know
1. Seele - Absolutely insane, but I could see her getting power crept later on
My favorite character is Herta, her on field time really chips away at enemies but I'm also only lol 30. Going to give Pela more love though after seeing this
On most bosses, buff removal doesn't work on their dmg stacking buff lol The stacking buff most every boss has is a uncleanable buff (the game does tell you that as well). I think it's more there as a soft enrage tbh. Of course it will help on non-dmg stacking buffs.
I keep getting Pela so ive built her as being petty for not getting anything on my rolls. But i ended up loving her and never left much my team😂
People legitimately sleep on how well Welt combos with Dan Heng. Welt's overworld slow field is an immediate 30% more bonus dmg for Dan
This is nice to hear
I got Bronya in my second 8 pull from the starter banner and was very happy as I liked her design and had not been that lucky with the starter banner in genshin
The next day I was doing pulls on the seele banner and on the third pull clicked skip and got Seele - I feel like this account has good luck
Gepard was my first 5 star pull very early in the game and he has CARRIED me through the entire game. His shielding is so strong.
Natasha cleanse is bonkers. Helped a lot on simulated world 5 kafka mind control. you don't have to get abundance path just to clear it(very slowly). i just get hunt all the way and speed run the thing with well timed Natasha skills
Seele really be staring into our souls from the bottom left of the screen
Bro please make a team guide with gepard and teams for forgotten hall without healer
I like you. I got E6 Pela and finally someone says she's great
I'm currently sporting Gepard, Himeko, Bronya, and Natasha (wish I could get Bailu for healing but I'm just not that lucky). I really think my team is very good and balanced but I wish I had Seele for her straiht up single target dps even though Himeko has worked for me just fine. Gepard has about 5.5khp and sports the whole party a 1.7k shield which is insane, and like the video says if you get some energy gain on his relics he becomes even more amazing.
Thank you 🙏 I felt unlucky at first to pull Bailu and Gepard when I wanted Seele but it is nice to know that my end game will be decent 👍
Nat w/ Gepard + Preservation resonance in simulated world is legit unkillable then retaliates with tons of damage. if youre lucky enough to get that quake dmg when your shield takes damage (3 star blessing), you dont even need a damage dealer
Tingyun is so great...makes Clara and Seela and well ANY DPS hit so much harder...
The fact that i got clara, E1 gepard, seele, and yanqing's weapon is crazy
I can see how gepard is valuable but in SU i barely used him cause the last bosses dont have ice weakness
2.8k base attack is very nice (20k dmg for her counter, no ult, but is buffed by her lightcone)
I often see tier list videos putting natasha on tier 3 but I think she should be high tier 2 or low tier 1.
we have several options for dps and a couple for tanks and support(buffers/debuffers) at the moment but there are literally only 2 healers in the game and one of them(bailu) is a 5 star so most players will only have natasha. sure, loucha is an upcoming healer but as another 5 star, most people will still end up having just natasha. defensive characters are crucial in current hom 11-15~moc since we're underleveled and natasha being the only healer for the majority of the playerbase makes her deserving of a higher spot in tier lists imo.
Man I've gotten unlucky and have every 4 star(some even at e6) besides Tingyun and Sushang🥹 I'm planning in wishing on the next banner for them even if I don't really want the lion man.
Still managed to clear w6 and f13 forgotten hall at lvl 37 tho:)
And I also was kind of disappointed to get Gepard as my first 5 star (wanted Welt, still don't have him), but he helps me clear things brainded and underleveled, and preservation resonance with buffs is busted lol. Also he is Servals sibling🥰
UPD: guys I literally got Sushang, Tingyun and Jing Yuan in 20 pulls after Seele🤨
Same boat, 500+ pulls on a paid acc and no sushang or Tingyun 😭
Same. I still have no Tingyun and Shushang despite having Seele, Yanqing and two 5* light cones 😭
Dw you guys, next banner contains tingyun and sushang with march
Welt's skill in open world is so great, it saves so much time and HP dealing with random creeps, and it's AOE so every single enemy inside his skill will be imprisioned right before the battle even start. Him and Himeko are absolutely busted at breaking shields. The breaking shield mechaninc (aoe) is so overlooked when it's one of the best damage boost+life saving in the entire game, while other Debuffers and shielders/healers are great, their abilities to break shields are not that good.
I actually like this game it makes me think about what to do in battle even though I don’t like strategy games but this one keeps me on my toes
i just started playing a week ago and got e4 tingyun
seeing this makes me happy
even if i dont have Bronya and got Gepard as my first 5 star..... yeah... he is kinda helpful really on me surviving, maybe the problem for me was DPS, luckily i got Seele yesterday, the problem will be lightcones, still wortking on leveling Simulated Worlds slowly, i don't want to rush much things.....
With so many cool characters idk who to build. I got sushang, welt, dan hang, seele, natasha, fire mc. And everyone else
I think that himeko is a really underrated unit, she is pretty great both un single and multitarget, she get's free aoe burn dots and can Carry a lot of the content, i must say that i'm only AR 39 when i'm writing this so my opinion may vary, however i think that she can only get better with her talents
Agreed and her skill is freaking great, the amount of enemies that she slaughters without you needing to lift a fingers after triggering a break regardless of enemies actually having a fire weakness is insane. + she by far has the coolest ultimate animation in game, can never get tired of seeing her sip her coffee while she nukes everything in the background 😂
@@ninamullen9401 great? She does low dmg compare to clara
Man I got 2 dupes for March today and I am having a darn blast. If I get her eidelon 4 sheeeesh. God bless
ideas for guides
- hidden quests
- what to do with all these quest items that have no marker
Honestly i underrated Gepard until i got Bailu.
i was getting kind of bored with march, having to mostly focus purely on healing
meanwhile for gepard, if you use bailu you can constantly heal him while he's setting up your shields.
and even in the rare scenario of bailu running out of HP, and gepard dying, he still has a revive in the end.
Do you have any recommendations for teams that can't use natasha, bailu or gepard? I only have Natasha and i'm using her in one of the teams, but for memory of Chaos i need 2...
Brother please make a clara guide with best build for the character. Please 🥺
Eyyy.. Glad baby clara is really getting the spotlight. She carried me through. Pretty bummed out i got gepard as my 2nd 5* so, yeah.. but I have tingyun. So my clara is always using ult
