Guoben wants to know who was your first S-rank unit? NOTES: I didn't put the team in team order I just put em all down next to each other for the video's sake. From now on I'll be putting them in the right order too, I didn't realize that could confuse people. Sorry, and thanks! Anyway remember you should have your DPS in the right slot of your Support unit's slot in team order for your quick assists! - Removed the Chain Attack bit as it confused some peeps, will do a lengthier explanation on things like that in future vids. Thanks for the help, vids will improve because of your questions!
Just wanted to thank you for the great guides, for Star Rail your guides already helped a ton because of how well made and digestible they are while providing all the information you need for people to be able to make good informed decisions, both for pulling and team/character building, seeing guides from you for ZZZ is great because of how hard it can be to understand some of the character's kits and envision how they're meant to be played at times.
Been waiting for this as he's my first S Agent, thanks ! Also, i just realized that all my first 5* (or in zzz's case, S rank) in Genshin and other gacha that uses similar system is all of the ice element lol Genshin : Ayaka HSR : Gepard WuWa : Lingyang ZZZ : Lycaon
I'm playing this game VERY casually, and I mean I haven't even finished the 1.0 main story yet. A lot of the terminology is kinda new to me and I'm glad you were able to explain everything clearly, as you do with HSR guides
VERY interesting take and good argument as to why his best in slot W-engine may not be his best. Love this take. I have both, so now I'm in a quandary.
Hey man great vid, I was surprised to learn that his signature W engine may not be the best choice for him, and fossilized core would beat it! No other guide on lycaon tmi made this correlation nor did they bother doing the research for this so thank you for your effort you earned yourself an xtra sub! Anyways, could you please put koleda on your agent guide bucket list? She is my favorite character, and I would like to build her optimally.
Lycaon, Soldier 11 and Nicole are my team right now. I confess i love Lycaon ever since i laid eyes on him and plan to getting his signature weapon soon.
Yessss Lycaon my wolf king! Got so lucky and managed to get him on my acc 🥹 Rn he's doing so much heavy lifting bcs I don't have a dps so he has to be one, with Nicole and Soukaku as his support 😂 His combos are genuinely so satisfying to do though so it works out (tho I'm sure him as a main dps role won't last long once I reach endgame. Still, mishmash teams kinda part of the charm of early game journey haha) So glad to see this video guide from you Guoben, all hail our wolf furry!
This is literally my team as well. It works so well 😭 the grouping + Lycaon kicking the shit out of everybody is insane. And the constant grouping from Nic and Souka is just cherry on top.
Watching this because I got him as my first S rank and also got his bis engine several pulls later. 😭 Played the game because of how cool his demo is and Hoyo rewarded me for that lmao.
Got Lycaone on the standard banner and then pulled for Ellen and got her in 30 pulls. My team is beast already. With Noicole in 3rd until I level up Shukakou
I'm literally here because I got him early + my first S rank, and I got the shark bangboo on my 50th boopon rolls, and then afterwards his signature wenjin and I feel like hoyo is shoving him in my face at this point. Kinda surprised to find out that his best discs are impact, whereas surely I thought ice discs would be great as well. I'm keeping his sig tho, his blue fur looks dope as hell 😭 time to revise my whole build :'>
Nice to see you're covering zzz too now. I think you're underestimating the damage he's actually dishing out, especially in lower levels. I'm using pen and 0 crit he still hits like a truck
As I said in the early game he might do a ton, but end game the damage is 1/4th of a DPS unit on field not talking post buffs. This is on a crit build too.
Was lucky enough to get hhellfire Wengine from standard and unlucky enough to get C1 on both my 50/50s rip qingyi I ll farm a quick 4pc for him since subs and 2/3 mains dnt matter much and give him a solid shot after this guide,thx for the info
got lucky enough for him to be my 50-pull 😎😎 way better than Yanqing lmao btw I think the captions got out of sync by the end, but otherwise great guide!! Same high quality that I’ve come to expect from your HSR vids. Hope you’re doing well/better and excited for more!
I got him and Hellfire Gears from the standard banner 7 pulls apart. I also happen to have Ellen (heck, I thing at least 50% of the players do, considering one can easily grind out enough free premium currency to guarantee one S-ranker), and I just pulled Nekomata's signature W-gear with the 3 tickets from reaching Proxy level 40. Combine that with a M6 Soukaku, and I think I'm set for the foreseeable future.
I was kinda disappointed that I didn't get Lycaon in the discount wish. My smile dissipated really quickly when I got Nekomata. But then she actually feels really good to play and THEN I got him in the next 80 pulls in the standard 💀 They're my mains now.
I've been grinding out the standard banner for weeks and finally got him, unfortunately also got two of hellfire gears, but after looking at everything, I might enjoy the energy regen and impact boosts more! But if I can get his engine I'm using it
I need ppls opinion. My rotation is Ellen, lycaon, soukaku. I start chain combo with Ellen, I switch to lycaon, switch to soukaku, and switch to bangboo (which automatically swaps to Ellen for the final chain atk). I’ve been doing this combo for a while now but I notice ppl don’t follow this. I’m trying to do the most dmg, is this the right one? Yes I can test, but gonna share this here incase others were wanting to also know the most dmg rotation. This only works sometimes when the boss stays dazed throughout the whole thing, if I see the rainbow bar go grey, it won’t activate the bangboo/ellen chain choice at the very end of it
great video, Im so annoyed with myself, I chose lyacon for my free character then pulled him again when I failed ellen, hes great but I really wanted grace, lol
Noo why don't you make a new costume like Guobllen or Guobcaon? It's okay if you don't want to anymore but I personally love the mixing costume model with the char you are talking about. Your guides are still very helpful, keep up your good work 🔥👍
I was aging for zhu yuan, but I got Ellen in my first 50/50. So I surrender to my gacha gambling addiction and throw 70 pulls I had saved after getting Ellen and got him, so what I can say? I build the pity for Jane doe 😂
Hey Guoba correct me if i'm wrong but i think you misunderstood Precious Fossilized Core's effect, it's the target's hp not the equipper's ? So the HP/DEF doesnt matter 10:25 Edit: Nevermind I rewatched it and understoof what you were saying, build HP/DEF to not deal too much damage, sry english not my first language!
I would argue that Anomaly stats are not half bad main stats for stun units. you cant really run Anomaly Mastery since thats the same slot as Impact, but I do run AP on the flex disc drive slot for Lycaon, because freeze/shatter are very strong within the context of my mono Ice team, and there is no Ice Anomaly unit so far.
I want to use him as my Main DPS. Its of cause not "optimal" but he is my favorite unit so far. What other support should I use with him then? Him and Soukaku are on a team but what for the 3th Spot as a Support for him?
the first 5 star I got was Lycaon's W-Engine from the standard one. Then when I tried to get Ellen, I lost to Lycaon. Then I got Lycaon's C1 from the standard again. I'm taking it as a sign to get C6. (and because the Mindscape Cinema changes at C6 to shirtless Lycaon😅😅)
Okay so i might be a little confused, but is the short animation for Lycaon's chain better than ending on Soukaku with her quick assist to DPS? To preface, i usually let Lycaon do the full break, chain to Soukaku, and then transfer her buff over through quick assist to Ellen, who enters in her roaming state
@@guobauncertified cant wait for Nicole's. She has some interesting mechanics that aren't labeled in her kit, like the motion inputs to charge her ex special even more. Most people don't even know that it can be charged at all and that's just a shame.
You should roll on Ellen since that would give you both teams you need. They are also top teams in the game rn. Zhu yuan is nice and I'm going for her, but she doesn't have a good team rn. Anby Nicole are her best bet. When QingYi comes out she should replace Anby and make the team much stronger. Until then I think Ellen will help you out a lot.
I cannot believe i got him this early, i was afraid he would take months to show up but i got him and i love him and im gonna try pull Ellen now that i got him
Lycaon is my first S rank and i really want to build him right. I'm still confused about which w-engine between steam oven and fossilized i should build on him. Does he need more energy regen to spam ex skill or just more impact overall ?
The Restrained is still the BiS as it gives him maximum damage daze frkm his basic attacks near tk almost 100% llus some damage which is not insignificant. Lycaon kit does not have any synergy with Ex special attacks so building daze on that is a DPS lost and the daze percentage increse from holding down Ex Special is not significant compared to The Restraints stats boost in his basic attack daze application.
if you have Soukaku, wouldnt you want them to go second (or last) and then your dps last (or quick assist after Soukaku)? I am under the assumption the attk buff they grant is only to the next unit
Guoben wants to know who was your first S-rank unit?

@@guobauncertifiedGive it to him, Guoba
I think Lycaon unironically has the best trailer from the 5 stars so far.
Mihoyo did the best they all have to give Lycaon the most badass appearance and Demo Trailer! And you don’t have to be a furry to appreciate him
anthropomorphism has been an element of fiction for a very long time. I wish we didn't let weirdo furries have a monopoly over it
VERY interesting take and good argument as to why his best in slot W-engine may not be his best. Love this take. I have both, so now I'm in a quandary.
U can also hold ex special _without_ energy to extend ur combos, since it doesnt consume energy.
Hey man great vid, I was surprised to learn that his signature W engine may not be the best choice for him, and fossilized core would beat it!

Core is best for one rotation, otherwise its just weaker than his sig but not by far
I love how he's a direct reference to the Beowulf weapon from DMC
Lycaon, Soldier 11 and Nicole are my team right now.

pretty nice m1 for stunning asap :)
Yesssss we eating goooooood. This answered so many questions I had in regards to building the Goodest Boy. I look forward to the rest of your guides
Got him from my fiftieth pull at standard. Thanks for the helpful vid! He's gonna be comfortable with Corin!
I finally got Lycaon and im gonna play him as a dps!!
I WAS HOPING FOR A GUIDE FOR HIM FROM YOU! I needed a breakdown of how to play him. Thanks for the cool vid. 😎😎
Before the game released. I wanted him and now got him!

Thanks, Gouby.
Got him 129 pulls for standard. Let's goooooo
perfect timing, I just pulled him lol
Ooh I just got him as a 50/50 loss on Ellen's banner. I lost the battle but won the war :')

Lycaon is my first S rank and i really want to build him right. I'm still confused about which w-engine between steam oven and fossilized i should build on him. Does he need more energy regen to spam ex skill or just more impact overall ?
Steam oven is the safest since you wont always get max core benefit

Dude, as i said the other day love your videos
The Restrained is still the BiS as it gives him maximum damage daze frkm his basic attacks near tk almost 100% llus some damage which is not insignificant.

Building him because he decided to come home to me with his weapon. I need help. 😂😂😂
2:53 Please don’t keep ultimate at level one, leveling it up also increases the damage of your chain attack.
Lycaon chain attack DMG is pretty insignificant as the guide showed but you can lvl it if you really want ?
@@guobauncertified my bad, just saying because a lot of people think that it’s only ultimate damage
Why would you keep ultimate at lv 1 when it directly effects chain attacks?
