Almost all the heroes presented by the developers Honkai: StarRail Before the start of the Two-Dimensional arc, they've already appeared in banners, but the Pathfinders are expected to remain on this planet for at least three more patches. Reliable insiders have begun actively sharing their guesses about who to expect in the remaining versions before moving on.
The first to speak out DK2, and his statement was supported Sakura Haven, posting a detailed analysis of the likely course of events on their personal channel. Both sources noted the following points:
- At least 3 heroes will be released in versions 4.5 and 4.6 - 2 representatives of Joy and 1 of Memory.
- The developers have finally translated it Pearl From Save to Joy. It will be released in patch 4.5 or 4.6.
- Nigiluxa's release is likely to take place in 4.7, but insiders aren't 100% certain. Her model will differ from the one already featured in the story.
- One unknown follower of Joy, according to DK2, is actually just a new skill for Pioneer of Electricity.
Based on this data, Sakura Haven drew a general conclusion:
- SP Aventurine - will probably get the Joy class;
- SP Robins - Memory;
- Nigiluxa and Pearl - Joy;
- There is still one more follower of Joy left, but perhaps this is just a new skill for the main character.
As new rumors emerge, all relevant information will appear in banner schedule.
Once you start feeling joy, it's hard to stop :D. Why do I need a Joy Suspension if I don't have a single Joy character? The Zaryanka SP is questionable when I already have Cyrene. Another cumulative patch.
It's somehow joyless.
Keep me posted (better not)
If you hadn't told me how I would have known that it wasn't necessary :D. Silent consent mode.
Not "hard to stop," but "hard to catch up." That would be more accurate.
Why waste joy? Isn't that sad? What's the point of playing gacha like that?
The point is, there are no spins for the "Joy" pack. Before them, there was Gisilens, which I needed. And before that, Dahlia. Then there was Cyrene's rerun, so it's kind of a joy that all three came out 😀
It looks like Pearl will be the Hyacinth's counterpart for Joy. I just hope they come up with some new sustain mechanic for her, not just shields.
What the hell kind of new sustain mechanic are they going to come up with? Are you nuts? Healing, shielding, incoming damage reduction. Well, there's also, like, damage conversion with a chance to affect illusions in some games, or one-shot shields. They can't come up with any more mechanics; everything's already been done. Even if it's not a full-fledged shield, you still need healing. Fu Xuan is an example of a concentrated defensive mechanic.
I'm so tired of these Joy Clippers. Is there another path in the game?
Gilgamesh, Rin, Himeko, Mortenax, Ashvale.
Here's Himeko, who's missing; she's also actually Joy, who was stuffed under the Express's guise. In fact, she's just Evanessa and the main character (Joy).
Rin is also Keridra, but under the quantum, of which there are plenty in the game, but the hole in imaginary damage of similar characters remains.
And so, Velta was updated specifically for the mechanics of Ashvale and Monterax (BU, Defense Reduction, CU).
And Gilgamesh finally remembered they had a hole in their Destruction+Energy characters. Saber and Clara were just a lost cause. They were powerful, but there was no one to really synergize with them.
Where is Himeko under Evanessa??? Where is Rin under Keridra under Quantum??? Did you even read their kits or did you just make this up?
The fact that she was originally planned as a member of the Express. The fact that all the other members of the Express are on different routes doesn't bother anyone at all)))
Why not Keridra? Or are there tons of characters in the game that rely on buffing both themselves and their party through skill use and point expenditure? Or is it just that the mechanics are completely different, with the former having a solo buff and the latter having a party buff—that's just a personal touch. There are only a handful of characters in the game with truly unique mechanics.
Keridra is a sub-DD for Amphoraeus, and Rin is a sub-DD for a specific character. It seems to me you're stubbornly mistaking wishful thinking for reality.
What Atmosphere is it? If you don't know any other characters besides Phaenon who actively use a skill that's offensive, and you don't know their primary stat, Attack, that doesn't make her an Atmosphere support.
It's my fault here, I confused Keridra with Cyrene. But that doesn't change the essence of the matter much. Rin is only good for Archer, so it's highly doubtful she'll perform well in other builds. Keridra is a universal booster for most solo DPS.
It's essentially the same with Keridra: she'll only be fully utilized by a few characters. Either the damage isn't ATK-based, or the skill isn't offensive, or she's rarely used—those who have all three are only 3s.
Rin is also a good fit for the Archer + Sparkle combo, benefiting from both, getting bonuses from Archer's progress, and getting an additional bonus from Archer's skill. But that's all; she can also work well with characters who actively spend and generate skill points. Sparkle also spends them quickly.
And a character with a signature that increases defense ignore will be a good fit, especially in packs without a shield or heal. So it's worth considering as a viable option. Especially since sometimes you need three packs, and not everyone has enough.
You're drunk, bro. Who's planned for the express team? Evanessa? Source: Trust me, bro? There wasn't a single leak about her joining the express team. Even if you go all in on the tieba. And isn't the new Himeko a joy, too? What exactly should bother me here? Erudition isn't played through a mono route anyway. And even if Evanessa were in the express team, what would Himeko give her? Oh, the horror, 100 crit and 4 energy. Yeah, really, a signature buffer that doesn't even provide the main resource Evanessa is played with.
Maybe it's because Rin isn't a buffer? Her only real buff is specific to ARCHER. She doesn't have any specific buffs for quantum. If you don't put her with Archer, she can only be a main damage dealer and nothing else.
Yeah, the fraternizer projects the behavior of his circle onto everyone. Well, if you like it, keep going.
Is your IQ too high?
Well, apparently there's not enough experience to go beyond memes with dense misconceptions))) Well, OK, keep showing what an empty show-off you are.
And when did we reach the point where there is “no quantum in the game”?
Like, this is about Rin being Archer's signature unit and not being able to use it anywhere else? Well, it seems like they haven't really tried it, and Mini-Spark is still Archer's signature support.
Himeko doesn't play with clowns at all, and the buffed Welt fits in perfectly with her. By the way.
Himeko is, in fact, a reflection of Keridra. It's a rather over-descriptive piece, completely tucked away in the express section, which (besides "what a cheap pack") is actually a huge drawback.
I think after Rin's release, Sparkle will be able to easily move to other squads. I don't see any significant benefit from her in this tandem.
It won't. Rin can more or less maintain Archer's SP, but she also ideally needs to consume at least as much SP to deal damage.
Debatable. She doesn't really need the SP itself; she can use the skill with Crystal Energy, and Archer's move gives her enough charges for that.
You seem to be confusing the roles. Archer still has to be a machine gun, and without a mini-spark, he can't do that.
With Tohsaka, Archer fires all five of his shots. In a team like this, Sparkle will be pouring her ult into Rin, which isn't very effective.
How? Magically? And okay, how often?
Or am I absolutely obliged to spend money on Archer's E1? (Okay, I have an E1, but still)
How on earth did T1 Rin start replacing Micro Spark's ult? It could be OH on Rin. Or it might not. Or maybe a player without auto-battle is just mashing buttons.
The same was said about Hoho and Resurrection; as a result, both are in a pack with characters that rely heavily on energy consumption. Especially since they only restore 4 points per Archer turn, and that's only if the chain is full.
Or maybe Archer didn't have enough for a full chain, which is just not right. Then Rin herself will eat up what she buffed.
Then, out of 12 characters, 9 are more or less interchangeable, and at least three will be present in a single squad, and a full quantum party and Do Rin could be assembled without conflict. And take the same imaginary one, which has too many different mechanics.
Regardless of her type, Rin is a perfectly capable damage dealer even without Archer. As long as she has characters who actively spend and restore skill points, Archer isn't the only active damage dealer anymore. The only question is, it's unlikely anyone else will get the most out of her beyond the boost.
Welt has been reworked specifically for Ashweild: Welt gets a bonus to his Attack Power and Cooldown, Ashweild gets another party member who reduces defense and can trigger his Attack Power. With a second Monterax, they reduce defense to zero. Monterax himself, thanks to Welt, increases the damage of the entire party's ultimate and also receives a bonus to Ashweild's Attack Power and Cooldown. Welt also adds a delay and movement speed reduction, allowing Monterax to take less damage after taunting. We get three fully-fledged damage dealers who buff each other and allow them to benefit from each other's stacking debuffs, effectively covering all three points at once: Attack Power, Cooldown, and Weakening (Defense Reduction). Bosses with defense-boosting mechanics are easily dealt with, even if they have elemental resistances. Similar to a Kafka-Swan-Gisilence team.
What does the path and faction have to do with it? Joy is the path, Express is the faction. There are also mechanics—for example, spirits aren't just in memory, and breach and weakening aren't just in the Void. Bounce and spirit attack are considered BA mechanics and receive all the buffs that enhance them, but not all BAs are considered separate attacks or moves, which is important for trigger calculations.
Wow, when did they even come out with a non-MEMORY character that has a SPIRIT? A summon like Topaz isn't a Memory Spirit. They have completely different mechanics. Memory Spirit attacks, unlike summons, aren't bonus attacks. Otherwise, why do you think the "Inspiration for You" gimmick existed in the previous Expanded Universe? And of course, I wonder why Velt suddenly needed an attack bonus buff when he doesn't have one. Did you seriously get your knowledge of the game from TikTok or something?
Yes, yes, old encyclopedist, keep boosting your inflated ego. Some behavioral patterns will never die out. You are not destined to live by your own wits, only to imitate others.
Well, yeah, you obviously know everything better than anyone. That Evanessa will be part of the express. That Memory Spirits are an attack bonus. That Welt has an attack bonus. And that Kerioda is waiting for the end of Archer's series. Yeah, yeah, only complete idiots who don't even play the game use the Wiki. But what Wiki? The developers themselves give out false information in the game itself. Yeah, right, where would they be? They're developing the game, not playing it. You're the only one worthy of knowing the true mechanics of this game. Honestly, don't embarrass yourself. This isn't even larping anymore. Good luck closing the arbitration with a pack of Himeko, Evanessa, and GG. You still haven't gotten Kerioda there yet. Maybe it'll last for six cycles.
Calm down, show-off! You still haven't grown out of your schoolboy ways, and you're still pretending to be a mature adult. Keep cramming and adapting, just so your fragile ego doesn't crumble under public judgment.
If your fragile psyche feels better that way, then anything that doesn't fit your worldview is magic. I hope my little one doesn't end up drinking again, or whatever it is you're taking to escape this cruel world.
All in his mind?
Why go straight to patterns?
The point is, your information is completely out of place. There's literally nothing connecting Ushataya to the Express. There's exactly zero lines online (not counting maybe fan fiction and schizophrenia) about her direct connection to the Express, much less her joining it. ZERO, man.
Welt got a Blade/LaMancha deck, which is cool, but it doesn't quite add up to the "he got buffed for that deck" vibe. Stick Tribby in there and you'll get better results.
The "get hit less in the face" part is funny. Maybe he will, maybe he won't. Do you have Welt in your hit chance or something? Are sustainers some kind of joke?
Basically, I don't understand the argument at all. And neither do Rabbit-Fox and Himeko. Himeko's entire skill set is against the second damage dealer and has nothing to do with her.
Because these are the standard "inherited" patterns, and they're ingrained and centuries-old. The standard behavior of a once-intimidated loser who hides behind rote knowledge, public opinion, devaluation, and relatively relevant memes. He was bullied, and now he behaves the same way—a grumpy, angry hamster. "They must have forgotten that their grandfathers grumbled about the same thing to them in the beginning." And there's no argument, because the other person's perspective is completely lacking, just rote responses, standard phrases, and stale memes. He's simply trying to boost his ego, to no avail.
Regarding Velt, why bother with his SPE now? His ultimate has a 100% chance, his skill also has a high chance, plus his signal boosts it well by at least 18%. His native SPE is 32 (28+4), and with additional stats you can easily get 40, and if you really work hard, you can get 60, although he's pointless going above 80; his new buff won't give him more. You don't need gear or signal boosts tailored for that. And considering that Eidolons and signal boosts are built from two sources, his build isn't particularly challenging.
Everything is in KU and under the party from weakening, well, and energy is possible.
And you weren't expecting clowns from the Clown Planet? This is considering that Blade, Lamancha, and Himeko are NOT clowns (and therefore only Blade is playable there).
The amphora also featured mostly remembrances, and? Aren't there other ways to play? Besides memory (c).
Yes, but they need to completely fill the Joy squad slots. And at the same time, the path needs to be as varied and filled as possible. Moreover, just like in Memory, Joy will have a wide range of roles.
It's quite normal, they create two assemblies in a new path + an alternative.
Alpha + Spark (a joy with the skill counter mechanic, and a carbon copy of Keridra, which is essentially only Archer's Spark). Why did they buff Spark in the first place?
Evanessa + GG (Joy with the mechanics from the ult) buffed Hoho.
Ashvale + Monterax (KU, BU, Defense Reduction Boost) - all Welt changes.
And so they had zero originality to begin with.
Rin is a dual character under Archer, with the mechanics of Keridra. Gilgamesh under Saber, with even less originality, is the same analogue of V. Gert + Anax.
And judging by the already established trend, we are expecting a third in erudition and cyber, similar to Kafka + Swan + Gisilens, Kastoria + Darkness + Cyrene, and now Archer + Rin + Sparkle.
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if at the end there will be another Phaenon that will require a special party to be assembled.
There are literally three characters of joy in the game, the main character doesn't count. Compare with other paths.
At the very least, they need to catch up so that the joy doesn't lag behind.
I was thinking about Pearl. Yeah, I skip everyone, basically, but she's pretty and it's boring to sit around without any spins, and Sunday scammed me for cons. But I guess I'll skip her too; I'm not happy, I don't need it.
What about that dancer from the planet teaser? I just don't follow it anymore and haven't played through the story.
She is not in the plot, not even mentioned at the moment.
This is just my guess, but it seems like they forgot about her, since Luxa is being postponed right to the end of the version and she will probably be there alone, and before her, only the spawns, Jem and Faith, are released, hmmm
It's a pity..
I was overjoyed, but in the end I assembled a team of Evanessa E1 and Yao Guang, spending a little over 100 spins, I had never seen such early spins before!
Graz~
Lately, I haven't really liked any characters at all; they don't grab my attention. They're all so repetitive, even the patterns in the design. Even my gambling addiction can't get me started.
I'm waiting for Pearl (I hope it's not shields, otherwise it would be better to unscrew Hyacin E2...), then Nigga (which will probably replace GGR).
The rest are a no-no. After Blade, no one is needed at all; all the squads started playing right away. :))
