finally got Sparkle on 40th pull of my guaranteed.

Gonna skip the next 2 banners. Gonna stay strong for Sam/Firefly + their lightcone!!

Yea saw some leaks in Reddit HSR Leaks page.. That technique.. Sigh but no jade's to spare now. Must get Sam + his lightcone. Lacking fire dps badly.

Kafka with her lightcone handles lightning weak enemies for me, good enough for now.. Might consider Archeron on her rerun next time. Need to see her in action first how good is it

--------------

Finally clear latest final stage PF all stars, with noob Himeko and Herta thanks to Sparkle.. That also haven't really max out her traces. She is really something









They say hyperspeed Sparkle makes a big difference.. Not sure how long need to farm before can reach 160 speed. Will try when have spare fuel

Leak for Robin:

https://www.reddit.com/r/KafkaMains/s/aaYyggBf9l

Seems like she could exceed Ruan Mei for DOT team. that 66% speed increase for entire team!

Will release same time as Sam.

Archeron worth it if you don't have Kafka or Jing Yuan. Likely strongest lightning based character.

there are hints in the game that Firefly = Sam

from her clothing color schemes to some of the things she said during the quest.

Either she's remote controlling Sam or she's wearing the suit.

Watch below for more details:

She and DHIL are my best DPS. Definitely worth getting.

Early Access for 3 content creators (e.g. posting Archeron video 1 week in advance before launch) making others like Mtashed, Tectone, Gacha Smack upset. Nuclear drama at their youtubes now.

I personally don't support it too as it's just unfair. Others need to make a living too out of their videos. Why only restrict the testing and 1 week in advance posting to 3 people? You can go over to Braxophone and IWintoLose Gaming to see their early access videos on her.

Just realize from the early access videos that her ultimate and talent alone is insane strong already:

https://www.eurogamer.net/honkai-star-rail-...0a98e1376cf1b45

Talent (passive ability): Atop Rainleaf Hangs Oneness - When Slashed Dream reaches nine stacks, Acheron's Ultimate can be unleashed, which lowers enemies' Toughness regardless of their Weakness Types and also lowers their All-Type Resistance by 10% until the end of Acheron's Ultimate. When any unit inflicts debuffs on an enemy while using an ability, Acheron gains one stack of Slashed Dream and inflicts Crimson Knot on that enemy target. If the ability used inflicts a debuff on multiple enemies, one stack of Crimson Knot is inflicted on the enemy with the most Crimson Knot stacks. This effect can be triggered one time per action. When Acheron is on the battlefield, and after an enemy leaves the field or is defeated, their Crimson Knot stacks will be transferred to the enemy target with the most Crimson Knot stacks.

Ultimate: Slashed Dream Cries in Red - Acheron unleashes Rainblade three times and Stygian Resurge one time, dealing Lighning damage up to 223.2% of her attack to a single target enemy, and Lightning damage up to 180% of Acheron's attack to all other enemies. Crimson Knots can't be applied to enemies during Acheron's Ultimate.
Rainblade - Acheron deals Lightning damage equal to 14.4% of her attack to a single target, and removes up to three stacks of Crimson Knot on that target. When Crimson Knot is removed, Acheron immediately deas Lightning damage equal to 9% of her attack to all enemies. For every stack of Crimson Knot removed, the damage multiplier for this application is increased by an additional 36%
Stygian Resurge - Acheron deals Lightning damage equal to 72% of her attack to all enemies, and removes all Crimson Knots.

Silverwolf value will shoot up after her launch. Any lightcone that can debuff enemy will suddenly be useful too.

out of jades, waiting for free special passes and jades to try again.. close to 50/50. Pulling Archeron for collection sake (Rei is always OP in Hoyo games) and also due to her crazy DPS number ceiling

if dont win 50/50 also ok, will keep guarantee for Sam. Already got Kafka for lightning character.

P.S: Firefly is confirmed to be Sam in the latest story:

those who got Acheron and Kafka, is Acheron better than her? especially vs tough battles?

lost 50-50 to E2 Bronya.. not sure if I wanna continue pulling

latest PF world 3-1 so freaking hard without Argenti, can't reach 30k points even after trying multiple times

Ok will try that next time rather than focus too much on weakness type. My Clara Himeko manage to do it albeit around 28k pts. Kafka Black Swan RM team 2 is the one that helped provide a bit more points to reach the 3 stars.

Decided to just skip Acheron and focus on patching up my Fire and Physical types first. Hence Sam and her lightcone is must after this. Then followed by a strong physical type.. gonna skip Boothill coz too close to Sam’s banner.

still no signs of Acheron at 150 pulls. Game really doesn't want me to have her.

she don't need speed boots, just more debuffers.

Pela, Silver Wolf, Gallagher is best team for her now. Can even remove Gallagher and put in Black Swan for more dmg if don't need sustain.

Make her ultimate recharge faster using more debuffs.. attack boots will then boost her dmg up more.

if one day got more 5* debuffers like Silver Wolf then her power level will go up even more.. since can ultimate more often.

not many ppl have Silverwolf, can consider her later if you dont have.. she's really perfect for Acheron.

Haih, 160 pulls d still no sign of her.. her technique is why I wanna get her so badly after testing in the quests.. one hit kill weak minions changes everything.

Can save so much time when exploring!! In SU not much difference since we can't consume items to increase technique points, limited charges there.

yea.. i'm a mthly stellar jade sub + all the free jades this patch also not enough. Was like wtf mode when I reached 140-160 yet still nothing.

at least I still got Kafka for lightning weakness. Well if really can't get in 9 more days then let it be... Sam and her lightcone will be much more easier to get for me.

I got many 5*s already la.. maybe that's why game making it hard so that I will swipe more. Too bad I'm not that type of spender.

decided to skip Acheron (I have Kafka + her lightcone already), 170 pulls didn't get her. Scare same thing will repeat with Sam.

For Sam I'm aiming for her lightcone also... so will keep more jades in case.

noooooo.. don't want later need end up swiping just to get E0 Sam. RNG really bad on me lately. Not gonna risk blowing my CC.
if later Sam's lightcone makes big difference will regret even more.

I have Gepard and Fuxuan, hence skipping Adventurine. They are good enough. Maybe another time after I get a strong Fire + Physical DPS first. These 2 more important for me now. Imo healer is more important for MOC and damage. If can clear fast enough don't even need a healer or shield.

Keeping all my jades for Sam. Gonna just farm for the next 2 banner cycles.

Adventurine's kit is really great though.. if get his lightcone also. Basically a shielder + buffer + dmg dealer + SP positive. His kit is best for any team members that are follow up type.
