Ya I pick hsr coz it's quick too. Genshin takes too much time to do anything.

Black Swan will replace Sampo soon tho. I'll likely get her.

I already have Hanya to add skill points.. Hence might skip Sparkle.

Black swan E0S0 is only 9% better than Sampo (edit: true only for single target. for multiple targets Black Swan still way ahead)

Source Guoba skip to 17:52:



Not sure if he means E5/6 Sampo vs her or not. Seems like I'll just stick to my E5 Sampo then since he's that good.

Honestly I really really wanted to pull Black Swan thinking she will be miles ahead from him as an upgrade, but after watching more videos and comparisons vs Sampo, I think I'm good with my Sampo boy. My Kafka is already E0S1 and I'm happy with her when used with Sampo, Guinaifen or Luka.

Also just got DHIL's lightcone in just 10 pulls, can feel it made so much difference even at level 70.

congrats! edited my earlier post.. the close numbers vs Sampo only if compare single target. For multiple targets Black Swan still winner

I got decimated by Black Swan, lost 50/50 to Bronya E1, then took me another 70 pulls before getting her zz.
No more jades left to try for her lightcone or Sparkle. Likely need wait their rerun first.

Same here.. I just started exploring the area with cars (right after going up the hotel). Work life sucks for gaming even during the night.. already tired as !@#$ sometimes doze off when listening they talk lol. Later CNY break will have more time to clear this new zone.

Can can my id is 805277015 Davien
Anyone else here can feel free to add me. Wanna farm more credits from borrowing my characters 😆


Ya I also spend on HSR only. Jade sub every mth good enough. Once a while despo for materials then buy one season pass.

Yeah halfway through penacony story now thanks to CNY got time play.. It is more dark + some holiday vibes in the beginning to fool us. So mysterious place that they can add a lot of content in future. Heard the story will drag till patch 2.2 and story will be the largest for HSR since launch.

Can't wait to fight Sam. Crawling up and down the walls are pretty cool concept. The 3D maps help. Soundtrack awesome too make me immerse in Penacony even more. 👍

Really hope can uninstall some parts of the game. Almost 25gb now killing my iphone capacity. 🤦‍♂️

True, Penacony music so far exceed the other 2 maps.
Especially this song "If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking", I had set it as my coach's music..




All I want is Sam, gonna try for Sparkle and skip the rest. I'm into mechs and gundam stuff so need to get him.



Also I only have Himeko and Guinaifen for fire characters.

I benched him liao, provides too little shield and does too little damage. Fire MC is A tier for Pure Fiction but Himeko can do better.

need a lot of jades for SAM since Jingliu is using Herta's store lightcone.. hope to get him + his lightcone. He's another destruction type character

Not sure how accurate this leak is, but make sense that Archeron and Adventurine will release in 2.1 since Mihoyo provided some pics of them on social websites earlier:

Another source:

Also 2.1 will only release on March 28th due to CNY holidays at China. This is great since give us more time to farm and collect jades.

Another source says April 5th. Wow that's a long time

There are hidden quests in Penacony.

Make sure to do all the quests with blue dots on the map (they don't appear in the mission list), and also use the special coin to pay Woolsey to locate more quests to do.

Cocona, that queen quest (forgot her name), and Chadwick are amazing side quests. Very meaningful.

Buy jade sub every mth good enough liao. If don't get a character then just skip it.. Wait till rerun or something better.

I usually dont pull lightcone unless if really good and for a dps character. Abundance, preservation, harmony usually don't need 5* special lightcone.

nah SU still the same.. is u got a lot stronger liao
next is try clear Swarm Disaster and Gold and Gears.. the latter one is really hard for high difficulty.

at first I wanted to also for BS lightcone, then I read her lightcone further, found out that it is 10% attack boost +14% ignore defense only if you're using her + another DOT like Kafka.

Need 4 types of DOT to reach the full boost of +20% attack and 28% ignore defense for S1. If in future we have a DOT character that can apply all 4 - wind shear, burn, shock and bleed together then he/she will be the ultimate partner with Black Swan's lightcone.

Currently I using Eyes of the Prey S5 (Sampo's lightcone) on her feel it's good enough. Putting Sampo aside after getting her. Only if face MOC/PF enemies with all of them having wind weakness then he might be good again to combo with Black Swan.

agree Bronya is a game changer for any DPS type. (for DHIL also can if combo with Hanya/Sparkle)
one Bronya is team 1 MOC, Tingyun in team 2.
or just put Bronya and Tingyun together in same team for max PEW PEW

yeah she is very good. I just completed Gold and Gears Diff V for first time using Luocha, Ruan Mei, Kafka, and Black Swan. Earlier couldn't.

Sparkle seems very good for DHIL and Qingque.. gonna try see if I can get.

imma opposite.. lost 50/50 to Yanqing.. the one that I dislike the most.

not sure if can pull off Sparkle in the next two weeks. Lately it's been requiring me around 50-70 pulls before getting a 5* character.

Just realize we have 25 days and 20h to pull for Sparkle due to CNY holidays postponed the next patch. At least more time now to accumulate jades! 👏

Sparkle only if you play DHIL or Qingque. Else skip.

wait for Archeron if you dont have Kafka or JingYuan.

She is crazy strong, just need debuffers in team like Pela, DOT also boleh.

Sam also another fire DPS, upcoming but not a waifu.

I have Hanya E6. Thinking if I should skip Sparkle.

I on monthly jade sub only. If get then get, if no then wait her rerun see how.
Right now on pull 30th (guranteed), no sight of her yet.
