I am legitimately considering paying for pulls for Firefly.
I said I would never pay more than the 4.99 monthly pass thing for this. I just spent about 60% of my collected Jades for Jingliu.
Goddamn it all.

You're gonna use her Stellaron Hunter friend Silver Wolf with her! just hope she implants Fire
Love the art. I expect her to do well as she seems very popular already.
I suppose combining cute waifu girlfriend with bloodthirsty mecha murderer is a combo people like!
I wouldn't even be surprised if the implant is moved into her base kit.

Nahh, they've figured out the formula.
E0 will be very strong.
E1 will be an OK-but-not-too-crazy upgrade.
E2 will be game-changing.
Yeah, kinda expect this, too.
So right now her E2 seems good, but not insane?
Extends received buffs by 1 turn.
Feels more like a QoL / SP management thing than a buff.
Star Rail has a lot of compelling E1s. The gamechanging E2s are few and far between only really being DHIL and Acheron, outside of them E2s are hard to justify. Feels like that's not something they want to dip into too often as it would piss off the playerbase.

They shouldn't do it too often, but Firefly is enormously popular. They would be stupid not to bait people with her E2.
I think I'm going to go all in on Firefly and dump everything I got towards her. I have 110 pulls right now, probably another 20-30 from quests/events I haven't done yet and whatever we get in 2.2/2.3. So hopefully I can get a lot out of them.
I've been playing this game every day for six months now and it's not good for me. I've been looking forward to Sam since the day I started playing so ending it with her feels fitting. After that I'll go casual and just play the story when it gets updated. I should have more than enough characters to get by for the lifetime of the game, right?

It depends how fast she can go in Sam mode. Opens the possibility to do some funny stuff like stacking Bronya and Sparkle buffs while action forwarding.
Poor IPC/Fua gang:
Topaz, paired with highly anticipated Jingliu, received zero buff/adjustments from CTB. While Jingliu received bonus 50%CR(V2R) and remaked E1(v3r), JL'S skill cost also readjusted so she no longer needs ER rope(v3r). LC got remade to give DEF shed(v2r). On the v1r, E1S1Jingliu and E1S1Topaz damage calculation are similar like only 10% difference. By the end of CTB, E1S1 Jingliu deals more damage than E6S1 Topaz on ST. Topaz eventually tanked on sales became the first banner in HSR failed to topped no 1 in CN app store.
Dr Ratio, paired first limited Harmony Ruan Mei, while Ruan Mei received overhauled buff from v1 to v4. Her buff used to giving break effect only instead of elemental pes and dmg boost. Her signature lc also got completely remade and became the most game changing support lc in the game(v2r). Dr Ratio received hardest nerf as a character in CTB: losing over 20 SPD, 60% ATK , 30%CD-self buff from E1, basically became the first character that could not self-trigger own talents. E1S1 Ratio used to do as much as damage with e1s1 Jingliu(released version) on ST. However, he was given for free so I would let it pass.
Aventurine, paired with almighty Raiden/Acheron. While Acheron: got buff upon high heaven and even made her already game-changing instant-kill technique to deal more damage than JY and SW's ult combined each wave.(V3R) Make her old e1 to basic kit. (v4r) Basicallybuffedremake her from e0 to e6 step by step. Aventurine's fua shield multiplier even got nerf on v3. They even limited his talents trigger cap on 3 so he lost like 50% dmg on e6(v2r). His signature lc still have chance to fail to apply negative effect on ST because its only 100% EHR base chance. While they remake Acheron's signature lc so the effect no long need EHR like at the beginning of V1r. Thankfully, he got written pretty well in the main story and his VA did an fantastic performance. He did not get Kokomied and became the first Fua/IPC gang to achieve top place in CN app store.
I wish whoever pair up with Firefly best wish and good luck in CTB!

Its is funny how gameplay wise the ipc characters all seem to synergise with one another while the stellaron hunters have like anti synergy and just all have weird different playstyles. I guess in lore maybe, the ipc are all working towards one goal while the stellaron hunters are just a group of individuals who just happen to be teamed up.
Play the game! You miss out on the 4* Selectors if you aren't playing in real time, friend.
Yeah, I think this makes sense.
And since Elio is the only one that hasn't been released yet, it wouldn't make sense to give him some kind of ability that ties them together.
I suppose they could recruit someone new, because it seems weird that a faction would be "done" so soon.
Yes!
Let's go! Now we hold strong through 2.2. Hopefully fire implant remains. Finally a dps for my other team.
Woo! Excited! The splash art is beautiful! Can't wait to see what they are cooking for animations.

I usually wait until a week before patch drops to complete all the content. Dont like to frontload but maybe that's the way to go.
Need to see Firefly's kit before I can decide on my team comp for her.
It's gonna be either
If Firefly's sig has def ignore I'm getting it for sure.
It's gonna be either
- Firefly/Sparkle/Pela/Gallagher
- Firefly/Sparkle/Ruan Mei/Gallagher

I called her a sentai waifu and I stand by that statement.
So glad to see her finally confirmed. Such a cool portrait.
I hope her peak team is Sam/Fire TB/Gallagher/Ruan Mei

I wonder if we will see any benefit from stacking harmony trailblazer and Ruan Mei with Firefly? Or is there going to be a bit of diminishing returns on her break effect scaling?

That is what's been leaked. Both FF/Sam inside and outside combat, best of both worlds.
Nope. That character is nerfed to ground and basically meme level of bad. Even free Asta would be better.
It's like using Fire MC with Market LC to sustain Acheron team in MOC 12.
The same was said about Aventurine, he was even actively disliked. Then he became one of the most popular characters since launch when his patch came out. It showed that the player base isn't that shallow to only care about designs, animations and damage numbers. Not saying the devs will try as hard with Robin and Boothill as they did with Aventurine, but I'm interested to see what they do with them. And gameplay-wise at least Boothill offers a new playstyle, which will be very useful in the new Apocalypse mode.
Firefly isn't that exciting to me, the character is very tropey and I saw the "twist" coming miles away. The devs knew how obvious it was, hence the reveal being relegated to a random 30 second scene. I'm mainly interested because her element is fire, but destruction DPS isn't exactly a novelty. I do love her design, though.
Ignore the above post, showcases have shown them putting in work when paired with RM and doing big numbers. They're going to be a very popular choice for break teams. Assuming nothing changes when the patch goes live anyway.
I think this is more the result of it being leaked via datamine a while back rather than the devs thinking it was obvious. They were genuinely hurt in the stream that it got leaked before they got a chance to do a proper reveal.
I only got my Aventurine yesterday but due to some prefarming he is already usable now, feels amazing to use:
Need to finish levelling the relic pieces and I may need to farm a few replacement pieces. Will need to see if I end up at 4k defence or not and I would like his crit rate to be higher. Also missing one speed roll on a random piece to hit 134 speed, very unfortunate.
Traces I will probably take to lv8/9 for now in the next few days too.
Overall, I am so impressed with him as a character. He feels awesome to use in my Ratio and Argenti team, love it. For my Jing Yuan I will continue to use Fu Xuan instead, solely because he needs her crit rate buff due to bad crit rate rolls on his relics.

Nice! You've already got a pretty good crit rate, 60% with the trace and 70% if you hit 4k defense. General rule of thumb is you want twice as much CD as CR so you'd be better off pumping CD once you reach that 4k.I only got my Aventurine yesterday but due to some prefarming he is already usable now, feels amazing to use:

Oh wait, he has a crit rate trace?! I did not know that, yay. :D That is awesome. Now I understand that 4k defence requirement lol.
Let's see how my rolls on those final +12 pieces go at +15. :D Hope I hit 4k defence lol.
The best surprise was that I had his best f2p light cone lying around and I had saved 600 currency in the store to buy 3 more superimpositions, thought I would be forced to use Landau's since I have very few preservation cones lol. Also thought I would need weeks to level the cone but turns out I had all the mats in my inventory lol, went straight to 80 yesterday.
Yep, for every 100 defense over 1600 up to 4000 he gets 2% CR for a max of 48%, which is why the 4k target is so important.
Yeah, I only understood this after your post when I googled it. Thanks so much! I just knew the 4k defence goal but never questioned what it actually does lol. Then my shoddy thrown together relic set is much better than I had expected, I feel pleasantly surprised. :D
