You can criticize the game for many things, but the cutscenes will never be one of them.

Thanks for so much and sorry for so little, asat GOATmad.

I'm still new to this game and wanna farm on the books with calyx.. Saw support himeko, well why not right?

Welp, thanks friend

Name: Yunxiao
Element: Wind
Path: Preservation

Basic Attack (Toughness Reduction: 10):
Deals Wind damage based on Yunxiao's DEF to one enemy.

Skill (Cost: 1 Skill Point):
Inflicts one stack of "Heavy Clouds" on every enemy (50% base chance, increased by 10% for every 20% of Yunxiao's EHR up to 100%).

Heavy Clouds:
When dealing damage and/or attempting to inflict debuff, character with this effect is guaranteed to fail to do so, dealing no damage and/or not inflicting said debuff after which the number of stacks of this effect is reduced by 1.

Ultimate (Energy Cost: 120, Toughness Reduction: 20):
Deals Wind damage based on Yunxiao's DEF to one target enemy. Inflicts one stack of "Heavy Clouds" on all enemies. If the primary target already had "Heavy Clouds", grants Shield based on Yunxiao's DEF to all allies for 3 turns and inflicts one more stack of "Heavy Clouds" on 3 random enemies (Infliction chances of Ultimate both instances are same as that of the Skill). Yunxiao gains Cloudseer for 2 turns.

Cloudseer:
Increases CD and CR of all allies by 15% and 45% respectively and grants them 15% All-Type RES PEN.

Talent:
Every time after "Heavy Clouds" is inflicted 6 times, Yunxiao gains 1 Cloudfall Charge (4 charges maximum). While Yunxiao has at least one Cloudfall Charge, "Cloudfall" zone is deployed. While the "Cloudfall" zone exists, enemies have a chance of gaining one stack of "Heavy Clouds" whenever they start their turn or are damaged (50% base chance, increase by 5% for every 20% of Yunxiao's EHR up to 75%). When "Heavy Clouds" is inflicted, all allies gain Shield based on Yunxiao's DEF for 2 turns.

Traces:
A2. Every time "Heavy Clouds" is inflicted or enemy misses, Ultimate, Summon and Basic Attack damage dealt by all allies is increased by 2% (stacks up to 100%).
A4. If at the start of the battle Yunxiao's EHR is greater than 75%, her DEF is increased by 20%. Otherwise, her EHR is increased by 25%.
A6. While "Cloudfall" zone exists, all enemies' DEF is reduced by 15%, doubled for enemies with "Heavy Clouds".

Acheron's design - https://www.deviantart.com/ex-fairy/art/1397891846?action=published

Brief note: The distant future. 600 years after the beginning of the demise of all Aeons, and the emerging cosmic cataclysms that erased many galaxies and civilizations throughout the arduous Amber Eras.

This segment of the narrative takes place several years before Acheron's meeting with the new main characters of my fanfiction story (namely Seraphina Astrardelle and Warren Sillen). In many galaxies, the terrorist group "Galactic Rangers" is raging. But both everyone and Acheron herself ironically call them the "New Galactic Rangers." This is a group of arrogant people who stole the name, sigil, and achievements of the real Rangers; they exploit the vulnerabilities of all factions, having created a powerful monopoly across several galaxies. Acheron, in a state of another nervous breakdown, recalls that she has gathered enough information about the location of one of their thousand bases on the planet Arcadia. Being in a state of moral exhaustion from the drugs, she fights her way through to talk to a lieutenant of one of the groups, in order to retrieve one precious item that they stole from the House of Culture on the planet Penaconia.

The "New Galactic Rangers" have spread very far, and their influence is as great as the power of the theocratic superpower, the "Supreme Vault," which in its time destroyed the empire of the IPC and enslaved 80% of the existing factions in the universe.

Materials:

All these long years, Acheron has carried within her the Device IX — the residual core of a fading Aeon of Nihility. Over the prolonged passage of time, the mind of the Emanator — and, by extension, the "last Galactic Ranger" — has become severely damaged and acquired numerous ontological scars, which also afflict her body, disfigured by its resistance to decay. Every day, her body is assailed by cold and heat. The scars ache with exposed muscles and nerves, spreading into wounds that resemble the shapes of crooked dark stars.

On her journeys, she always wears a combat power suit with multiple internal layers: some help dampen the force of inertia upon impact, others cover the scars on her body to allow fabric to be worn painlessly, and so on.

And since her body is often paralyzed by pain - making it difficult for her to force herself to move or get her joints to function, her suit is equipped with over 100 complex mechanisms featuring accelerators, which are linked to the neurons in her brain, allowing her to exert perfect control over every part of her body.

Over time, her vision deteriorated and her eyes began to hurt from bright light, for which she wears a prosthetic mask and healing lenses. Every day passes with taking numerous medications and attempts to remember. Why she is fighting death. Who she was yesterday. And whether the word "peace" has any meaning.

What the ripples see is the last punch in the gut that was released, showing every chrysos heir doing Cyrene funerals before Phainon is the last one to bid her farewell, and Smolrene, in an asymmetrical setting, seems to board on the express.

While I don't understand exactly why Cyrene is boarding on the express, I have another bigger question:

Who is singing this music in the lore? I'm not talking about the actual interpreter, but who she is interpreting.

Our first guess could be maybe Phainon, after all it talks about worlds on repeat, and loving each version of you the same, but ripples and such seems to relate more to Cyrene. Could she be the one singing?

With the world on repeat for Cyrene it also works well, but in that case, who is she singing for ?

Some could argue that it is the Trailblazer, which is fair. It could also be Amphoreus as a whole.

Or since Phainon is still the main focus for a majority of the music, Cyrene could be singing for Phainon.

What are your interpretations of this music?

I've been curious when characters like himeko have been one of the most anticipated characters ever since planarcadia been announced but her sales are somehow not meeting expectations. What if she was elation, will her sales do better than what we have now?

Hey everyone! 👋

First, thanks to the mods for letting me share this here! (Haha, I actually asked 38 days ago D:) 🙏

I've been working on a small HSR project focused on analyzing endgame data, and I wanted to share it with you all!

The main goal of the website is to answer questions like:

• Which characters and teams are players using against specific encounters?
• Which teammates and team compositions are actually being used with a particular character?

To answer these questions, I took a public dataset of endgame clears, analyzed it, and built a few features around the results.

You can check out the website here: https://astravoy.net/hsr

And here are some infographics I exported from it!

Okay, I am not someone who will read every piece of text in Simulated Universe, nor am I someone who absolutely memorised every line of the main story or side stories, although I have pretty good memory. However, I am proud of my taste in writing, and I am a good guesser to what direction a plot might turn, specially if I know the whole context.

Ok, so let’s start with Asat Pramad as a character. Asat Pramad is, from the readers’ points of view, an irredeemable piece of shit that is also likeable and stirs curiosity both from his experience and knowledge. Players want to see him suffer, but want him to die regretting what he did, we want him to suffer for real, which he seems nonchalant about his loss, that’s annoying!

So, from the writer’s perspective, what options do we have to make the readers satisfied, while keeping up the good writing:

A) Asat Pramad becoming the mind behind the Aeon of Desire, dying as the we defeat him again.

B) Asat Pramad somehow running away, mad that nothing went according to his plan.

Well, there is a problem with these options… A) Will not make the readers satisfied at all, B) will not be a good writing due to Asat Pramad not caring enough whether he wins or loses… Also, we don’t really want to fight him yet again…

But there is an option C… An option that forces Asat Pramad to redeem himself although he has no intention to, while make him suffer emotionally for such a punishment… Make Asat Pramad an Aeon!!! Whether it’s Aha or the newborn Desire, if Asat Pramad truly becomes an Aeon, there is nothing he can do! Aeon’s become concepts, so him as a concept of Elation or Desire he would finally understand Akivili’s and Aha’s perspective and be shackled for eternity!

So yeah, right now, I can’t imagine anything else. Firstly, although many say “Nihilux cannot be Aha” or “Nihilux is way too useless to be Aha”, I truly believe that there is only one Aha, and is certainly Nihilux. But, Aha has been falling for a long time, not only has Nihilux already come into terms with it, Aha is clearly inside Voracity and there is nothing she can do for now. Currently, Nihilux’s power is very similar to Sunday as the Order, a fallen Path that has yet to fade. So, seeing how Nihilux is playable and none of her animations seem to scream “I am definitely Aha”, we can assume that by the end of the quest, Nihilux will no longer be Aha. In that case, nothing prevents Asat Pramad to become an Aeon related to Elation anymore, we have many things at play, a newborn Aeon, a former Aeon and a wish to be made. All of these things have a good plausibility to make Asat Pramad an Aeon.

Was hoping to see if anyone here might have an answer regarding her concept art!

Evernight AND March Seventh. I love the poster girl. Can't wait to know more about her! Best girl.

The Tribbie’s apparently don’t have one in the official art book

Happy Wedding~

This is probably a dumb question but like, I know Oni’s, Halovians, Memokeepers and Intellitrons exist but what about the others? Aventurine, Jade or Topaz? Are they just humans? What about The Herta, Ruan Mei or Asta and Arlan? Is the HSR universe supposed to be like a peak of humanity thing or something or have the characters evolved past humanity?

Recently listened remix video for Twisted Garden (Nameless Deity OST) by Kuudray and saw [2nd photo].

Ofc my first thought was IX with Xeroc's eye, maybe even something with Acheron but im so bad as an artist. What do you think?

I understand there's a megathread, but I didn't know if it was okay to post a picture that wasn't directly a trade image, haha
*more context in original post (ꈍᴗꈍ)

Remember to stay hydrated/eat a filling meal today (´｡• ◡ •｡`) ♡ And hope you enjoy the art as well

So he developed a serum to permanently cure kidney stones and gout arthritis? Ngl that's sweet of him...

Medicine students, is this possible to happen irl?

This "Guild Researcher"/"Rich_KnowIt" ​was ex-HSS employee right? So he worked in Intelligentsia Guild in Mundane Troubles? Assuming Dr. Ratio is "Peoplebreaker" in the chat, was he working with Ratio or independently in this patch?

Is there any update about what happened to him after this?
