E2 Clara wooo.....

Actually, silverlining, 30% atk for 2 turns after ult sounds pretty good and I have a physical team with Sus and Nat.

u/Dazaran avatar

I'm right there with you. With how slow she is and how much ult charge she gets it's basically a permanent buff. I figured I'm gonna end up with e6 by the time Kafka comes out so I decided to bite the bullet and get Something Irreplaceable with my starlight.

u/Record_Specific avatar

I accidentally spent all my Starlight on standard pulls when the monthly reset hit this month, thinking it was the other shop where you could buy 5 of each 😭

Nice. Good investment. I am still mostly 4*s when it comes to LCs.

You have e2 Clara, I have superimposition 2 Clara light cone 🫠

I JUST GOT E2 CLARA TOO— FIRST JIN YUAN AND NOW LUOCHA LMAO

i cant take this anymore my luck on star rail is so bad

u/kickedplayer avatar

I got e3 Clara. Wish I got gepard tbh but she is decent. Wouldn't mind e4 at this point

Honestly I wouldnt mind, I had to do 300 pulls to get clara, then i lost SW 50/50 to her. I love her though. Best char for SU ever (Got her cone way before her too)

My E1 Himeko

Aham…my E3 himeko.. i dont have anyone else besides bronya

u/SzonigPL avatar

Same boat, but I only have E3 Himeko from the standard roster

least u got units.

i got dupe welt then two of gepard lc. i don't have gepard

Tbf at least gepard's light cone is really good for preservation TB. E1 Welt and S2 Moment Of Victory is wayyyyyy more helpful (and fun imo though tastes differ obviously) than just an E3 himeko.

I have two copies of Himeko's LC. Feelsbadman

How? You should have hit a guarantee twice by now. Are you only pulling on the standard banner?

Do you not pull in limited banner?

Himeko on starter banner Second on early pity on standard Third on lost 50/50

Bronya is normal pity on standard So yeah

u/VexKeizer avatar

so E2 Himeko?

u/OiItzAtlas avatar

My E2 himiko. 1 on my 50 pull and twice from losing 50/50 on limited banner. Problem is her edileons are not even that good. I only see E4 as worth getting. E4 makes her get two charges instead of one when breaking an enemy so instead of breaking 3 shields you can break 2.

Same here, got Himeko from starter banner and then got her from Standard banner...

u/wzyboy avatar

My E1 Baidu...

At first I thought she's like Qiqi but I soon realized that at least building her up and putting her in the support slot gives me a lot of credits...

Omgggg happened to me today. Seriously....I love himeko but out of 7 characters, why her. Her and Clara are the only ones I have. Anyoneeee else would have been fine. Well...imma get my guaranteed luocha anyways

I have her and S2 of her light cone 🤡

More replies

At least you can still use her.

I got her 5 star light cone, which is even worse than the 4 star ones on her.

u/LiamNissansNissan avatar

You aren't alone... every 5 star I've gotten on the standard... HIMEKO

How do you continue playing? I’m so frustrated right now.

u/LiamNissansNissan avatar

Just accept that I got shafted by gacha, a natural part of playing a F2P game in 2023.

Just part of the psychological frustration tactics used by hoyo to have users rage spend. Isn't worth it, and I'm sure my luck will turn around in the future, haha. Just pray to RNGJesus and avoid spending when angry.

That and I'm sure Himeko will have her shining moment someday.

:)

u/Tymareta avatar

TBH while she is a little weaker, she scales exceptionally well when there's more than one target and her eidolons are pretty nice.

Her+Asta+SW is a super strong core for just about any content, especially when the likely best build for Himeko isn't a standard crit-carry, but a break effect focused one which requires level 80 to fully come into its own which is uhh, stupid expensive for most people at this point. So when people get to that point and start building her with a 2pc fire + 2pc thiefs + salsotto they're going to be pleasantly surprised.

Given that there's also very few times that you'll be fighting purely single target anyway, so people greatly oversell her weakness in that area.

I’m still lowkey malding that I was jebaited for 0.5 seconds. I have only won one 50/50 in both Star Rail and Genshin and that is Yelan’s, so I genuinely thought the tables have turned.

I pull on Luocha’a banner, around 60 ish pity and I see it’s a 5*. Oh look! It’s a 5*… ABUNDANCE?!

Aand it’s E1 Bailu.

On the bright side of it all, I only took 30 pulls after to grab Luocha. Man, how do people get lucky with their coinflips..?

u/Spectre_Hayate avatar

It's simple: only pull on banners bc you want to build pity or get a certain 4*. That or hope to lose. Gets you the banner character every time :/

More replies

A E2 bronya would be way better than himeko tbh 😞

E1 clara and fucking 2 of her cones. I just wanted any other character or even cone man. Nope. Rolled that 1/7 for clara then 1/14 for her damn cone from fucking standard.

At least you got Clara. I pulled her LC twice back to back but still don't have her :p

Yep, same, went to 80 pulls only to lose to E1 Bailu.

I lost the 50/50 on Jing Yuan, Silver Wolf, and now Luocha. I think they call it a 50/50 because I always lose and there's a 50% chance I lose to Bailu.

I also lost 50/50 for Jing Yuan. Always to max pity too

Got Clara again on beginner banner. Then later failed pity on the limited banner and got Clara again... FML.

The only perma 5* i've gotten were 2 claras and 2 of clara's light cone. It hurts, she's a cool unit, but i have jing yuan and anything i'd use her in i find much more fun using jing yuan in.

You're in the same boat as me. I wanted Jings cone so bad man... nope clara card... fine I had her so not a huge loss. Then I pulled another of her card as my second pity on standard and then another clara as my lost 50 50 today...

More replies

I know how you feel, my first character from the first banner was Bailu, then I lost 50/50 on Seeles banner to Bailu, then I finally got my 5 star from the standard banner and got Bailu AGAIN. 3 Bailus before any other 5 star lmao.

u/em-ks avatar

E2 Clara...... I love her, but I would also like some variety :')

u/AkaEridam avatar

My first three 5* were Gepard, Gepard, and Gepard. One each from Beginner, Seele, and Standard banner

u/gogus2003 avatar

Happened to me in Genshin. My first 5 star was Diluc, then I lost my 50/50 to... Diluc. As a new player, that was very demoralizing having C1 (E1) of a character I don't want when I could have had 2 characters I DO want

u/Oppai-Luv avatar

E1 Bornya, not complaining though

u/NateDoesMath avatar

What is up with Yukong. They purposely made her pull rate way less or something. Either way, I did 60 summons and didn't get a single Yukong or Luocha so I uninstalled it. Lol.

u/smallratman avatar

I got 4 Yukong in 70 pulls 🤷🏻

Also we are getting her for free in 1.2 anyways

u/NateDoesMath avatar

Still that's insane. How many Pela or Qingque you get? 70 pulls for a 4 star is unacceptable.

u/smallratman avatar

I got 2 Pela and 1 Qingque

Also this is nothing. I’m a Genshin veteran and sometimes you’d do 100 pulls on a banner and never get one of the featured 4 stars. Y’all complaining about not getting Yukong are weird as fuck creating some conspiracy theory they lowered her rates. She’s not that important she’s literally a just video game character

u/NateDoesMath avatar

That's really garbage honestly. The pull rates in this game are insanely bad. Lol.

You made the mistake of wanting a specific character and the gacha gods heard you. RNGesus does not play nice.

u/Quinzelette avatar

They really didn't, it's just RNG. When I pulled for Jing Yuan I had no Tingyun and no Sushang. I ended up with an e6 (+more) Tingyun and an e1 Sushang and I think like 1-2 March dupes. So I pulled mostly Tingyun. I had friends who did the opposite hoping for my results and were pretty salty.

Also as a reminder there are still all 4*s (including LCs) in the pool, you're only guaranteed a banner 4* every other 4* so technically "every 20 pulls" and then it's a 1/3 chance you get the one you want.

it resets your pity counter, so if you got a 5* after 70 rolls, you go back to 0/90 on your pity counter (albeit this time you have a 100% chance to receive the unique banner unit when you do eventually roll a 5* again)

u/NighthawK1911 avatar

I have an E3 Yanqing.

I only have 1 other 5 star standard character which is Himeko.

I would've preferred getting at least a Bronya.

Just in general but I wish gacha games would have some kind of system where you’re you’re more likely to get a standard 5 you don’t have (or less E’s of). Like, not guaranteed but not the same chance as everything and you can still get get unlucky anyway -_-

My god I’ve had this in every gacha:

Arknights: First two 6-stars were Hoshiguma

Genshin Impact: First 5-stars were both Skyward Pride (not even a character, come on man). I still don’t have a 5-star claymore user.

Alchemy Stars: First three 6-stars were Eicy before her buff (so bad she got changed a week after launch)

Me now, polishing the Hunt cone I pulled right after buying Stellar Sea: ”Man, I’d love to have a second permanent 5-star character…”

I just got E1 Clara yesterday.

u/Comfortable-Tone-827 avatar

Im literally the opposite. Put your hands in the air, and give me all your Himekos.

I pulled SW and Bailu in the same day yesterday. Now I’m running some Janky Bailu + SW + Asta + YanQing team. It’s not bad but a bit weird. Not sure if it is an improvement from my MC + March + YQ + Asta which was pretty strong.
