Honkai Star Rail

Finished the story (for now), Seele is just evaporating everything now since I've maxed her out for lv50, going to try Simulated World 5 now.

I was really dilligent on the third zone and got just enough currency for c4 Fire Starblazer which is pretty good.

Edit: Got World 5 boss down to 30% health on final health bar, but mind control kicked my ass...

Saw a screenshot earlier of someone soloing W6 with Clara, stacking abundance and destruction perks.

Also, Forgotten Realms level 11 requires two teams.

I wonder if the game is hinting to use Nihilism for W4 and Abundance for W5 by introducing those Aeons there. Can't remember what the first few worlds have, Destruction and maybe Preservation are introduced at some point?

W5 final boss doesn't have respawning adds, the DPS is managable until she mind controls you, so perhaps slow and stready with more healing is appropriate.

I like the gameplay but holy shit that is a lot of currencies and consumables… is there a cheat sheet of what not to use until certain level or the like? I know something is gonna fuck me if I use it wrong.

The earlier you decide on your first 4 characters and light cones (weapons), the less resources you'll waste.

The costs are so low up to character lv30 that it's pretty safe to experiment and switch. After lv40 you have to be sure because you have limited energy to farm with.

You'll have 1 5* character by lv20 and 2 5* characters by lv40 so build around those and you will switch characters once you get them. No 5* healer use Natasha, no 5* tank use the main character.

You get 1 5* light cone around lv50 you can farm copies of and there's 1 4* you can farm copies of. You'll get a wide variety of 4* light cones from pulls.

All the crazy currency items are for breaking level caps and levelling talents, you do dungeones to farm them and you'll not get enough without farming so don't worry too much but don't waste the few they do give you.

Character and Light Cone exp items are pretty easy to get. Relic exp items are much harder to find but you can feed relics to relics to reuse already spent exp.

Relics are the only RNG grind but the game gives you several 4* sets for free, I only had to farm the quantum set, so don't use energy on relics until everything else is done. Do level your 4* relic sets up though.

I beat the W5 boss easily the first time I went full abundance and got the double ult upgrade that pops it every round and removes a debuff with each cast. No one got mind controlled and just chipped the boss down no problem. I do think the worlds are designed around abusing some of these upgrades.

I beat W6 yesterday and unfortunately there's no W7 yet.

I am basically in maintenance mode already as I am hard-locked on ascensions for another 3 trailblazer levels and I can't get trailblazer exp without burning through daily stamina.

Yeah just went for that but didn't get enough abundance, I did notice that Natasha can cure the mind control buff before it goes off, but was taking too much damage this time.
