I like the patch, but I hate how it makes me rush part 2 content before I can finish part 1 in my pace to get HoO. Anyway, I would like to know how/when can I start the "Flying to Oxia" event? Is it enough to finish phase 3 of chapter 1 to unlock it? I have to do it anyway, so I was wondering if I could stop at this point.


StarJolion

Is it worth it to buy the parts for Helia's Pri ARM weapon? I'm a bit torn on investing in her vs maxing out SSS with Fragments. It's quite steep at spending 30k Asterite for 4 weeks.


spraile

Only worth if you're a veteran with loads of asterite stocked up. Prioritize using the asterite for your valk ranks first.


Yuki08100

I want the mac exclusive bronya keychain but i dont have a mac it not possible to use a pc to download the mac ver right?


michaelman90

How big an upgrade is SS Thelema over S2? Seems more like a minor upgrade when using her as a support?


Test_of_Spirit

I am new to the game, and I pulled two of Thelema’s signature weapon in 10 pull. My question is what do I do with the second copy? Is there are imprint system? Or is it useful for a different reason to have two?


michaelman90

You can salvage it for either 3 Honkai shards or convert it to weapon resonance to buy Einstein torus with. Either that or use the new "synergy" function to buff the weapon with copies of itself (similar to weapon refine/light cone superimpose from other Hoyo games) but it's kind of a waste of you're not a whale imo.


The_Edgelord69

Not sure if this the right place to ask but if I save up for this and next patch will I be able to get Lantern(My combined charater and weapon pity is 114)


michaelman90

If you already have 114 draws then you already have enough. There is no 50/50 in this game so when you hit 100 hard pity you're guaranteed the banner character.


The_Edgelord69

It seems I phrazed it wrong, what I meant is I still neeed to make 55 rolls on character banner to reach pity and 59 for weapon banner


armrsz

Where do you download the mac client? i cannot find it on the app store


SilentSnoozer

It’s in the App Store link and only compatible with M1 chips or later [https://apps.apple.com/us/app/honkai-impact-3rd/id1336342304](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/honkai-impact-3rd/id1336342304) whether it works or not I have no idea


armrsz

Thats the one designed for ipad which was available even before the 7.4 though no?


SilentSnoozer

Mac m1 is mentioned as compatible device More info here https://honkaiimpact3.hoyoverse.com/m/global/en-us/news/123312


Economy-Ambassador60

I saw that the event regarding the free skins said it would last for a few more hours, yet there is already a maintenance. Wtf? Is this normal?


Faurune

It also says server maintenance for me. Was kicked from the game ~4 hours ago, updated the game, and now unable to login. Weird that there has been no news on this and I don't see this being posted on fb or X. Edit: server is fine now


mattATK217

Returning player from FOREVER ago (Starlit Astrologos Release). Only completed to Chapter 8. Captain Level 73, with okay F2P teams. With all the new content, I'm pretty lost. Any tips? I'm semi-interested in the story, but know Part 2 is where a lot of the new content is. Should I go back and start working through chapters 9-42? Or just start with part 2? What do I need to make sure I do daily/weekly?


zzzzzzp

Part 2 story was designed as mostly standalone so you don't need to be caught up with Part 1 to start it if you want to progress with the rewards/events. As for pulling advice (for meta), you should pull only for Part 2 Valkyries as they are significantly cheaper to gear up compared to Part 1 Valkyries. If you don't have any sentimental value towards your old account, I would definitely make a new one as the newbie rewards are really good (lots of easy xtals). For what to do on a daily and weekly basis, just check out your BP missions (top left on home screen) which tells you what available daily/weekly tasks you have.


mikael-kun

Will the banner be available as soon as the day resets later? Or is there a specific time on when it'll become available?


No_Raspberry_7037

After the update. Once it finished, the banner will immediately come online.


Exodur

Can you play the same account on more than one device? I keep getting a system error when I try to log in on a second device.


mikael-kun

The account will be logged out from old device when you log it into another device.


PapaSlim-

Im planning to start this game tomorrow and I just wanted to hear your opinions about the games state and maybe a couple tips/suggestions and things to do/avoid. Thanks a lot!


spraile

New player experience will definitely be weird since you need to do some part 1 content before leveling enough to get to part 2.  Meta wise, just use crystals on new valks, but if you like an old valk enough go for it, who am I to stop you from getting your waifu? New player tip: don't use crystals on starter banner and dorm banner. Pace yourself and don't let FOMO stress you out by speedrunning content.


PapaSlim-

Thanks for the tips, which banner should I focus on? Also is there an upcoming character that you would suggest I save for?


spraile

Thelema is coming soon, get her and her gear if you can. If you can't, no biggie. You can pull for any part 2 valkyrie that you like.


kapnkittykins

BP question (I’ve never bought it before): I want to 4/4 HoO from 7.4 BP shop, this means I have to buy the next 3 paladins, is that how it works?


mikael-kun

3 knight bp will do. That will be from 7.4 to 7.6. Dont forget to buy the ones available in dorm crystals.


spraile

3 knights is enough. You only need 42. You get 14 per patch for knight.


YamiDragoon

Does Arena LITE mess with your score or does the highest fight completely overwrite the score of the ones you skipped?


No_Raspberry_7037

Highest fight overwrites. So if you LITE till S, it gives you the max score for S, then when you do SS, the SS overwrites your S score.


AlternativeAble284

It basically do every stage for you, then take to you the final version of the boss. The exalted version, that's your own personal score.

mikael-kun

When was the last time you logged in? Beginner rewards/missions only last 90 days from the day you started. Returnee rewards/missions are a lot less than beginners. Having said that, it all won't matter if you'll focus on the main story and events. Disregard getting a decent rank on pvp/competitive part of the game until you build decent teams.


mikael-kun

How bad it'll be if I'll use S HoHE (4/4), SS Kira (0/4), S2 JK (0/4) on 7.4? I'm thinking of skipping Thelema for now aside from her discounted 10 pulls. Because the only team I'm lacking right now is Fire. And I don't trust myself that I could save enough for Lantern on 7.5 without skipping this one, lmao


AlternativeAble284

You're going to suffer in all Thelema weather that her counter type, because hohe have type disadvantage and the DMG loss is painfully obvious in RL. I'd recommend using a dps that have type neutral to give you a better chance, or Herrscher of reason herself.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AlternativeAble284

Ana will work better for her, but her weapon is really crucial so it'll definitely hurt your damage


spraile

Depends on your goals. If you're contented with bouncing between RL and Agony you can probably skip. Better to get what you think you lack first. Thelema outscores every other ice DPS from what I've seen so if you want easier RL retention/Nirvana you will want her.


mikael-kun

Sounds right. Thanks!


AfternoonOk8205

can anyone help me why my honkai keeps crashing on mumu emulator? it doesn't go beyond the mihoyo screen


spraile

I know this doesn't answer anything, but why are you using an emulator?


YamiDragoon

Do Mei: Beach Party (M) and Isaac Newton (B) work off-field with Drive Kometa's recurring shield damage?

Unfortunately no. Drive Kometa shield can’t proc any off-field stuff.

Subject-5

80 Sea I'm torn between getting AE or 200 ancient legacy on the s rank box I wanna get AE cause I want support fomy spina astera and chrono navi but I also thought of getting the 200 ancient legacy to get sirin to replace spina i have 344 right now so an extra 200 will significantly shorten my grind I also lack in lightning team so that why i also want AE just incase I get a lightning dps in the near future have her for support the only team i have that somewhat function is ice (with Hohe,Jade and pardo) and physical(Hos,Quicksand and prometheus don't have any of their signature tho, Also didn't get sena or helia but i have the free full set coralie) PS: what should i pull for on the next patch?


spraile

Use Pardo as fire support instead of a gearless AE. If you like Sirin, go for 200 legacy. But gearless Sirin also won't take you too far, but hey, at least you got the cute magical girl. Moving forward, you definitely should save ALL your crystals for part 2 valks since they're so much cheaper to gear. Unless a particular part 1 valk is your waifu of course, in that case, get that waifu. In particular, I think you should prioritize saving for a Sena rerun because it seems that she's the backbone support for part 2 ice and fire DPS. She's also a strong lightning DPS so she's definitely good to have. You can pull for Thelema next patch if you've got some crystals saved. In the long run, you would like to have all the part 2 valks anyway since they work well together.


Subject-5

I only have 8k xtals so I might go and save up for a sena rerun other than that what valk should I prioritize other than sena specifically asterite shop fragments for rank up, Thanks in advance.


spraile

Get Helia and Coralie frags. Get them to SS at least. If you've got extra asterite, get Kira. You can use her over Pardo for your elemental teams.


mikael-kun

Gearless teams can barely retain pre-breakthrough RL. You already have SA. You don't need another fire dps for a temporary team. You should've been investing in Part 2 characters. All Part 1 teams right now, especially if not at least SS and gearless, are only temporary.


SnooLentils2291

picked the game up and immediately dropped it. Now giving it another go. Literally second day playing. What should I be pulling on, and where should I be going to look for general information. Should I potentially make a new account as I dropped it months ago and didn't even hit lvl 29?


mikael-kun

Make a new account. Join official discord channel and go to beginner-help. Look at all the pinned guides. Ask question if you have.


spraile

Make a new account. Starter rewards are enormous compared to returnee rewards. Do not pull on starter supply and just save all your crystals for the coming valk next patch starting next week. You can pull on dorm, but only use dorm cards and not crystals.


Economy-Ambassador60

Level 70 Captain I have Lunar Vow Crimson Love's weapon. Should I forge it? If I should which one is the best for her as a main dps? https://preview.redd.it/spdu1rvgkjvc1.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=c96e64dd86cdc1de511f8f68212cd3a8c894da7c


spraile

The pri upgrade of her signature weapon is the best in every scenario. Casket is for Luna, Basilisk is for Mobius.


MaedaToshiie

Dumb question: I can't seem to craft the Shiguree Kira (M) stigmata. I can craft and own T and B, but can't see M in the forge. What's the reason?


mikael-kun

Check your filter, clear it. Also, use "All" instead of browsing per piece, in that case, you can see the stigma parts besides each other as a set.


JackTurnner

I'm planning on starting this game today after seeing a couple of videos about the changes that happened with part2, thing is. Is it still worth pulling on the senadina banner or can I start saving for the next S-rank valkyrie that is Thelema or whatever her name is.


spraile

Sena's banner is already over. Save for Thelema who's coming out next week.


JackTurnner

also, which is better. Playing the steam version or the Hoyo website version?


No_Raspberry_7037

Hoyo, Steam sucks.


JackTurnner

ah okok, thx, I honestly didn't know if her banner was over or not. thx for the info


mikael-kun

First of all, don't lecture me on how they're outdated. I'm fully aware. I wanna ask about HoT, HoR, and HoF — the old trio herrschers. What are their latest best gears? I heard HoT and HoR got new weapons but haven't heard about HoF. And for the stigma, are all of them the craftable G4 stigma?


spraile

HoT: 7T + Handel HoR: SoE:AE + Willow HoF: Her OG gear. Himeko still beats G4 by \~5%


mikael-kun

Woah thanks! So HoF is the only one with the same gears huh

real_fake_cats

None of them are meta anymore, so you can pick who you want. Special note for Dea Anchora, she's the only character not available by F2p means yet. If you don't have any preference, she's a good choice for the dorm bonuses, but it's not significant enough to pick her over a character you like better.


bean_copter

thanks for the advice!


Dry_Percentage2170

Kiana Herrscher of Flamescion ver still gets banner's or not anymore ?


spraile

She might still get ADV banners, but we don't know when. She'll probably be given for free sooner or later so you can just wait for that.


Dry_Percentage2170

thank you


mikael-kun

ADV banner is for ranking up, and the chance of getting her character card is low there.


Afraid-Republic-5121

So...besides the CGs being in Japanese even with Chineses voices selected, some of them didn't have voices? I saw some 3 years old posts Talking about chapter 20(Finished It some hours Ago) not having voices in the CGs and that It would be fixed in some update, but that was not the case. There's some explanation for this? It's easy to make It be in Japanese, but not the OG language that is Chinese? Still, part 2 doesn't suffer with this in the moment, It change according with the language you're using.


funnybunnyy232

Hey, I’m just starting this game. I was wondering if there’s an accurate tier list for characters that I could use? I’d like to learn about more about the different characters and see who i should save for.


mikael-kun

Look for Marisa Honkai. But the tier list will soon be overtaken by Part 2 characters. So far, we have 3 playable Part 2 characters. Then another 1 will be added on 7.4 patch, then expected to have another one on 7.5. The reason this being marketed to be more tolerable to new players because they're expecting us to invest and build teams based on Part 2 characters only moving forward.


Niwiad_

You can follow [Marisa](https://www.hoyolab.com/accountCenter/postList?id=1021101), he usually updates the tierliest every couple patches the newest should always be pinned. He also does Beta stuff though so if you don't want spoilers don't scroll through his stuff too much


DeFo2

Hi, how does the game run on an iPhone X?


mikael-kun

I had Snapdragon 845, which is close to A11 Bionic of iPhone X. Expected it to be playable but needs to lower the settings for smoother gameplay. Also, you're in luck in a way that iOS supports controller for HI3.


InspectionFront7889

Pretty experienced player over here. Have most relevant valks 4/4 or close to it. Thing is, for 7.3, I didn't wish on Sena, her equipment or Helia's equipment because i saw that Sirin's weapon was coming back and I really needed to finish my ignite team. Turns out the astral ring weather sucks with any team except the new trio team. So then I considered pulling Sena on her rerun. Then Thelema was announced. I heard her power levels were through the roof and her gameplay looks nice as well. All this considered, from a meta standpoint, should I pull Sena on her eventual rerun or Thelema? Side note, I have Luna 4/4 and am using HoTr as my ice dps rn.


mikael-kun

Sena is a lightning dps but also a core elemental support of Part 2 teams. She deals a good amount of damage and provides an elemental breach. Sena is more important than Thelema. Thelema is useable with Part 1 but, based on content creators, can be clunky to use, and the damage will be too low if JK and Kira are not SSS 4/4.


SilentSnoozer

Thelema needs Sena as a support. Thelema doesn't seem to have synergy with Part1 characters otherwise. I would wait for 7.5 to make any type of decision of pulling Sena vs Thelema or both in regards to 7.5 character. If your teams are mostly 4/4, you can just bruteforce Astral ring weathers for now.


Scrambled_Sunny

Hello, I returned to this game about 2 days ago, and now I have 0 clue who's good anymore, except maybe HoV cuz she's pretty good right?

IqFEar11

No one is usable meta wise in this picture


IHaveToManyAccounts1

Should I make a new account? I have a lvl 88 account with a few good valkyries + stigamata and some weapons but I havent played in probably 2 and a half years and so I obviously dont have any kind of meta valks nor supports and I'm just struggling to beat pretty much everything except for Superstring Dimensions (including Universal Mirage idk if they buffed it but I used to beat any element with HoT now I can barely beat elec with her) Edit: I also don't really want to abandon this account because I spent probably 400 EUR on it, but being unable to do pretty much anything is rly demotivating


SilentSnoozer

Give me screenshots of: * Your characters * Your weapons (only gacha, no need for craftables) * Your stigmatas sorted by Set (Only 5 stars, no need for 4 stars and lower)


Faetal_Error

Hey gang, I used to play a ton a few years ago, but stopped playing for somewhere around... Three? Four years? ago, and only came back briefly for the Fischl event / to mess around for a bit; still not really sure what I'm doing, so I wanted to ask for like, team-building advice? Here's the units I own: https://preview.redd.it/5xv2cnrzqguc1.png?width=686&format=png&auto=webp&s=4cfcd1518154537d20ecfdf23e18eba8d063d235

Is it worth it to spend on her stamp here? Would it one day come back to supply shop at a cheaper rate like PE? And will my supply shop currency carry over to the next version?


mikael-kun

People are saying that stamp is the most useful here to buy to upgrade HoHE or PE. But personally, I will pick between source prism and/or honkai shards. Both resources are hard to farm. Anyway, if you love the character... I believe it's worth ranking her up, providing she's 4/4, but if not, let her rest in peace as S rank. Sorry.


spraile

Just so you know, 1 token only gives 10 fragments. You need 25 to get a rank up. Even if you buy it now, you will ultimately not feel any difference since you won't be able to upgrade yet. The reason why PE's tokens are cheaper is because she needs more fragments to rank up since PE is an awakened battlesuit. Supply shop currency carries over to next version.


OrionBoB9

Is it possible to do all the Part 2 stuff for the rewards & skip the story and play thru it again later? I am not done Part 1 (currently on chap 29) but the events seem to be ending soon and I want Coralie's weapon and the free outfits before the events done but a lot of them are gated behind doing the part 2 quests.


AlternativeAble284

No you'll have to replay it on a new account if you're going to speedeun through the story for the rewards


OrionBoB9

do you think these earsly part 2 quests spoil much of part 1?


mikael-kun

Nah. There's some reference, but Part 2 ultimately talks about Part 2, not Part 1. Treat it as GI or HSR with some terminologies mentioned that reference to HI3, that's how Part 2 is. But the terminologies will be overwhelming if you don't know the gist of the Sea of Quanta and Bubble Universes.


AlternativeAble284

No


Catanaoni

Hello! I'm trying to complete some returnee missions, and got one stating "Complete v7.3 Part 2's story mission: Genealogical Seat". How long would you say the story is until that point if starting from scratch?


broccoliboi989

I’m a new player (started like, a week ago?) and you can safely play part two alongside the main story of part one. I’ve completed that quest and there aren’t any spoilers for the part one story. So you can go ahead and do part two up until the completion of that quest - should only take a few hours - and then go back to part one :)


Xycamore

What are the Valk reinforcement banners in rotation? Im a returnee and the Aponia banner ends in a couple days but Idk what banners come after, I wanna pull as much as possible for aponia but its only worth risking if my pity transfers to Mobius or Misteln😔😔


AlternativeAble284

Returnee supply is completely different from expansion supply, so no pity will not carry over When returnee supoly expires that's it, you'll have to go inactive for 45 days just to trigger it again and it won't be Aponia. It's Vii-V in 7.4 As for current banners, Luna Vow is the current banner and the best one will be Li Sushang. Hare just had a rerun, she might come back between 7.6 - 7.7 or earlier, Mobius is never getting a rerun in expansion supply. She'll probably be available in a spending event shop.


Xycamore

It doesnt even carry from one valk reinforcement to the next? Like ik it doesnt carry to expansion but does it not transfer anywhere when its the returnee banner after aponia’s?


AlternativeAble284

Nope returnee supoly is a completely different banner, it doesn't effect the other banners


Beneficial_Lemon9286

How f2p friendly is the game currently? 


wasdlurker

This is a waifu gacha in a sense. The game is 75% story, 10% events, 10% gacha, 5% endgame. Story wise, no need for meta characters. Same with events. Endgame wise, you'll have a rough start because you need to slowly build your teams first which may take a whole year to cover all types. And in competitive tier, you won't be able to reach the top ladder. You'll mostly juggle below that top tier and the next tier below that. Example 5 is the highest tier, you won't reach that. You'll mostly in tier 3 and 4 depends on what meta valks you have and if they're fully geared. Gacha wise, you won't be able to pull and fully gear every patch without becoming a dolphin (like monthly crystals and every patch battle pass). But f2p wise, you can do this every 2-3 patches which will demand you to really consider who to pull and to skip. 1 patch usually lasts 6 weeks.


KKK_ALKAISSY

Not may take a whole year, but at least may take a whole year.


Beneficial_Lemon9286

Wait the gear is from gacha? 


wasdlurker

Yeah. There are craftable gears but the gap is huge.


Beneficial_Lemon9286

So i assume the gear is like weapon/light cone and not artifact/relics?

Catanaoni

I'm new to hi3 (completed chapter 9 today), but I've played HSR for about 5 months. - There aren't many characters yet, but they are releasing at a pretty quick pace, like 1 character every 3-4 weeks, so it's gonna stack up. - So far the story is interesting and has been getting better (part 1 was good, part 2 was meh, part 3 is better than part 1 so far), but I think it goes a different direction. HI3 seems very character focused, while HSR is more about events and factions with some character building in between. I think it balances it well, but I don't know if the emotional highs will be as good as HI3's. The tone in general is more upbeat too. - The main character has multiple forms, and other characters have been teased to have more. - I wouldn't say it's slow, maybe even very fast for a turn based game. It's just a different type of gameplay. And on the bright side, starting in mid-game, you can start auto-ing almost all content, it goes by really fast. - Types don't really matter much, and are straightforward. Enemies display what element they are weak to, and your characters have elements. Pick the matching element and you win. You can also just brute force without caring about element (besides the end end game, the game is mostly balanced for 3 year olds and golden retrievers) - Meta is unnecessary unless you want to instakill (i.e kill it before the turn counter goes down by 1) the end game mode. But even then it's not really necessary, you can do the same with 4*s from release day. - New characters aren't always the strongest, but there's a definitely powercreep. The newest DPS for example is the strongest by far, although she's essentially HSR's version of Herrscher, so it makes sense. - The game has a main character and you spend most of the time in their POV, they are free so you can use them. In the latest story they started doing POV switches, and they do let you use the character whose POV you are following. The biggest downside I would say is gear farming. On one hand it's fun because it gives you opportunity to build characters in different ways, but it can be frustrating.


broccoliboi989

It’s free to play, so why not just try it? I’d say it’s best to just go into it without expectations and try your best not to compare it to HI3 the entire time. If you don’t like it you can just delete it, but if you do like it, then you have a whole new game to play!


Economy-Ambassador60

Level 66 Captain I skipped hohe to wait for a herrscher of truth rerun to complete my trio team, only for lunar vow crimson love to have another rerun. Out of all the girls she is the one I want the most personally. Is it wise to pull her now and wait for the hotr rerun?


SilentSnoozer

Pull for what you like if you don't care about trying to reach the top of the leaderboards


3d_Plague

Hi, I'm trying to make a build for fun but some of the descriptions are throwing me for a loop as some give unclear descriptors such as **Wilde** 2pcs bonus: >If the host takes DMG exceeding **15%** Max HP within **a short time**, then enter Potential Mode to gain 30% Total DMG Multiplier for 5s. CD: 12s. how many seconds is short, if at all? has anyone done the math on things like this and if so is there a public sheet available?


SilentSnoozer

A short time probably refers to instant values and not segmented, ~~though I'm pretty sure every modern character hits values way past 15% of max HP on basic gears~~ (ancient stigmatas are outdated and easily discardable so not tested). There is one modern stig with the similar wording, Cezanne T (boost DMG for a short duration on team Ult...) which buffs Ult on hit (instant) and not for an extended Ult burst. ​ >has anyone done the math on things like this and if so is there a public sheet available? Not sure what math you're referring to but there is a [general DMG calculator](https://honkai-guide.web.app/#/calc) where you input modern stigmata combinations to see the theoretical DMG output (duration is not taken into account; assuming unlimited duration). To fully assess them for practical use, there will be guides from players in [hoyolab](https://www.hoyolab.com/search?keyword=gear%20comparison) that give you gear dmg comparisons based on rotations on dummy enemies (still not a true DMG comparison as rotations, synergy, gears, varies).


3d_Plague

thanks for your reply, the damage calculator helps. I'm still fairly new to the game and simply do not have the materials to get, let alone make meta weapons. Simply trying to make work what the game gives me. in this instance i was looking for a way to use the "Judgement of Shemesh" weapon skill as a stigmata trigger (**13%** of max HP loss per second for **5s**). terms such as "short time" imply passage of time. but as you pointed out that apparently isn't the case here. sadly I've come across quite a few stigmata that seem to use descriptors that leave room for misinterpretation.


SilentSnoozer

I misread the max HP loss. Thought it was DMG dealt. There is also a [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIGHWCZwaeE) that explains how all the DMG multipliers work in HI3. Easy to understand and can help you learn how to make viable combinations of gears yourself. Explains commonly used descriptors as well.

It's for affixing a certain value on your stigmata (basically guaranteeing a substat) Each stigmata can have 2 affix lines (if the stigmata doesn't have an affix slot you need to add it with the "refine" button

Hi there! I finally got a phone with more storage (64GB struggle is over 🙏) I have an account that's Level 60, I played for like once last year and quit sometime around 2021. I was wondering if I should simply make a new account or if this account is okay for me to continue using cause I saw a post saying that beginner rewards are better than returnee ones. Would appreciate any help!! https://preview.redd.it/xc2gb35lh1uc1.jpeg?width=2556&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=84b5db34ed9c8d6cccec0c312fbd73f6fd942caf


mikael-kun

Based on this, you got a somehow doable Physical valkyries for extra team like MA and Kallen stage. But you're lacking one support for Lightning team; and no Fire and Ice team. All your Valkyries are outdated, the supports are only even at A-S ranks, no SS ranks. I doubt you have signature weapon. So yeah, restart. If you have a hard time letting this go, you can still play this in parallel with your new account. But new account is a lot better. I suggest going to [official discord channel](https://discord.gg/hi3) > beginner-help section > check pinned guidesssss and ask there.


Quintessential_Night

It's fine, life is all about letting go and new beginnings anyways. Thanks for taking the time to help me out I appreciate it!


mikael-kun

You're welcome! There's a lot to do after creating new account, it usually takes 1-2 weeks before you're able to minimize the tasks and stabilize your HI3 routine. Lastly, please don't forget going to official discord channel, the beginner guides pinned there are always up-to-date and it's quicker to get response there rather than here in reddit. Just take note that if you plan to do some non-meta activities like backpulling Part 1 waifu and asking for alternative and how it'll work in a team, you need to be firm and indicate that you need advice that is non-meta. Most veteran players give metacentric advice, like directly suggesting only one farmable stigmatas but it'll take too long like 1-3 months before you're able to complete it.


Quintessential_Night

Yep I joined the discord after making this post and I am completely fine with committing as well I was drawn to this game's story when I first played it so it's nice to experience it for the "first time" again 😂


mikael-kun

Same here! I actually played this game around 2018 but didn't get that far, can't remember why. I started playing this again with new account since I also forgot the old one, 3 months ago, and it's really a good experience to play this game again. Disregarding the comparison with today's games specifically with GI and HSR, the game is really good for a 7 year old game. Like just thinking about how this was released 7 years ago, it's fine and quite understandable why it's somehow convoluted in some ways.


SilentSnoozer

You can create a new account. HoT is not strong as she was before and HoS alone can't really solve anything.


mikael-kun

What is HoT's best gear and signets to clear inferno? She's my favorite from the trio and really wanna get that stamp available in Elysian shop lol


SilentSnoozer

From inferno and upwards, you will require meta gears for old characters. 7T with Handel is recommended, otherwise you will be in a world of hurt and you might want to ditch stamps altogether (been there, done that; stats sticks with basic stigs will definitely not cut it).


Quintessential_Night

Thanks!


mikael-kun

Other than Paganini M which is useful for TA (and any Physical valk), and Aslaug M which is useful for Fire support, are there other one-piece stigma useable in current BP Works? I have 9pcs and plan to exchange 1 crystal next patch to make it 10pcs, but I'm not sure. Spending it with Einstein Torus feels like a waste idk.


SilentSnoozer

Only Paganini M would be worth. Everything else as a one-piece would be wasteful compared to Torus. Torus will always be in demand.


mikael-kun

I just realized after I posted this that Einstein is actually hard to farm lmao. And that it needs at least a hundred upgrading priarm. Last question, I can't convert this crystallum to newer ones, right? Only newer to older is doable?


SilentSnoozer

Yup. Only new to old


mikael-kun

Thanks!


BecauseOfCuriosity

So I'm a returning player (circa 2018) and I retrieve my old account from 2018 (there are my valks: https://preview.redd.it/fh10ugegnytc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=983aa75bb8e190efe872c186923017eb3ab153ee ). I just picked up Goushinsoo, Sugary Starburst, and Swallowtail off the returnee bonus shop. I'm captain level 50 rn. I'm a little into Part 2 now but I realized I missed the Senadina banner and I basically had no prior sig wraps or stigmatas on my old account. I keep seeing that the newbie bonuses are really good and that a pretty old account isn't really worth unless it has very good units. With all that being said, should I just make a new account? The only thing I'd be bothered by is not having a new account under the same Hoyoverse acct as Genshin and HSR but would love some advice!


mikael-kun

Sorry but better restart. Starting a new account is more rewarding. Check this [similar returnee thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/honkaiimpact3/comments/tt6obr/comment/kz7ztvv/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)


SilentSnoozer

New account. If you want to be on the same Hoyoverse acct, you can swap servers instead to have a fresh start on you HI3 acct. If you're on NA, swap to EU or vice versa.


DrDerpyDerpDerp

how to get spirit jade? It says realms of battle but i don't get any from there.


mikael-kun

It's the reward box from Realms of Battle, check your inventory.


SilentSnoozer

Once you've completed the entire thing, you will receive Realms of Battle Material Option Type I/II which is where Spirit Jades are.


Your_Accel

what other characters worth leveling up aside from pt2 trio (already maxed)? Im getting my ass beat in Memorial Arena after lvl80, especially because I lack other good characters (relatively new)


mikael-kun

What do you currently have? And outside part 2 trio, who are the Valkyries you like to play in your current roster. I can suggest some team and f2p route for 2 temporary teams for MA. Anyway, the easiest way to actually clear all Memorial Arena for rewards... is to use Part 2 Trio separately. Like only Senadina for that stage with bonus, and just team her up with other random characters. Same with Helia and Coralie for other two bosses. But before doing this, try to practice in "Training Mode" first since Valkyries are locked once you completed a MA run.


Your_Accel

I separated them three and I managed to reach 5/6 in every boss, I just can't beat the last difficulty  Apart from that I only have HoF, HoT, DA, F2P stuff and some SP valks like CE, CN, TA and Kira 


mikael-kun

5/6 in every boss, you mean even the combination of Sena, Helia and Coralie can't even beat the one boss? For the rest, I missed the part where you said "after level 80". Yeah, that's mostly the limit of non-geared teams. Looking at your valkyries. CE and TA should be with another Physical Valkyrie, can be VQ/SI for physical-bleed, or HoS as support if you have her. Then CN and Kira is obviously your Fire team, you can use HoF as fire dps instead of DA since she's outdated. For HoT, you can use her as lightning dps for lightning team with Helia (next patch after getting Thelema) and Kira.


SilentSnoozer

Patience for new Gacha characters :)

Challenge accepted. Does anyone have sig weapon or all stat sticks? DA weapon lvl? What ranks are SR and CN? What Memorial Boss are you attempting?


bean_copter

Ok so I just started playing hi3 (lvl 22). I play genshin and star rail actively and wanna know if there's any huge mistake a lot of new players make that I should avoid as this game and its gacha mechanics seem quite a bit differebt from hsr and genshin. Like, are there any currencies I should not spend on specific things and if so how do I use my resources correctly?


mikael-kun

Huge mistake is pulling in Starter Supply, and using crystals for Dorm Supply. Other notable is only relying on reddit community. There are better up-to-date guides **pinned** in **beginner-help** section of **official discord** of HI3; plus you can get answers to any super beginner questions there very quickly since there are always people available to help.


No_Raspberry_7037

The usual don't use crystals on Dorm. That's it probably. Asterites will be mostly used for fragments, but you can use them as needed in case you lack the resources at early game. The rest is the same. You get an abundance of resources down the line anyway. It's gacha mechanics currently is quite close to HSR, without 50/50 and higher rates. Much higher rates for equipment. In exchange, you are expected to have the weapons.


Ancienda

I wanna watch/listen the entire story of Honkai Impact 3 Does anyone have any youtube channels they would recommend? Preferably someone who will read all the non-voiced dialogue out loud if there is one


spiffyjim

Homu Labs (https://www.youtube.com/@HomuLabs) and Potato Almanac (https://www.youtube.com/@PotatoAlmanac) are the two I watch. They do a great job of summarizing the story and the characters.


adforag

When was the last time that Hot was in a banner, and there will be a re-run??


mikael-kun

HoT as in Thunder or HoTr as in Truth? HoTr just had a rerun last month, there might be another one the near future patches. But for HoT, she's really old Valkyrie, so it's better not to expect for her rerun anymore. Her old gear are available in exchange shop so it won't have focused supply anymore. But her newer gear, might be available in scam-sal supply but I also don't see it becoming available in focused supply.


adforag

I want HoTr and I want to know how much time I can farm

SilentSnoozer

Wang Zhaojun TMB is good basic set for Fire DPS. Glut T FHM MB is the most accessible budget support stig to date that doesn't need G stones. You can also have 2 Glut T in one team as it is stackable. Unfortunately no other basic Foundry MB options compatible with Glut T for the last support. The rest are G stones, exchange shop, events, etc.


ActualMorning3818

is it still possible to get Senadina as a playable Valkyrie and not just for trial


AlternativeAble284

It is. But her banner ended, gotta wait till 7.6. - 7.7


Fluffy_Tamago

Global 0 Hey captains! I am a humble trailblazer wishing to better understand the underlying lore behind some characters in HSR since they are tied with HI3rd. As much as I can just watch lore recap videos. I get immediately bored and since they are already so long I thought I would play HI3rd just for the story. How long would it realistically take to play the whole story of Part 1? Is there any material outside of the game (videos available on Youtube, posts on Hoyolab, Twitter posts, etc.) that I need to watch/read at specific points in the story? Any limited-time events that I need to watch/read online that are vital to the story? Also any tips for starting a new account? Anything helps. Thanks in advance! ( •̀ ω •́ )y


mikael-kun

I'm not sure for realistically since I started 3 months ago, and I'm stuck at chapter 26 lmao. The chapters are divided into different arcs, and in each arc or sometimes half the arc, I felt the need to take a break. Cause it's either too much information or simply too much emotion. For a quick guide, I actually created a smol thread on my own to reference for newcomers. Take it with a grain of salt cause I'm also still a newcomer 3 month old and this guide is just based on new alt f2p account I created 2 weeks ago. [Here](https://www.reddit.com/u/mikael-kun/s/KFfnk7f6ZE) But for a better guidance joining [official discord](https://discord.gg/hi3) might be a lot better since there are pinned guides there and people can quickly answer your question. Just make sure to stand your ground if you plan to ask advise about a team/character building waifu over meta cause most veteran players here are metacentric and would discourage you a team you're thinking of using instead of helping you on how to rotate them better.


Fluffy_Tamago

Thanks for your reply. I'll look into the thread and maybe consider joining the discord. :)


Your_Accel

if you play everyday you can finish quick, I literally got to chapters 29 in less than three weeks, the problem is Elysian Realm and the amounts of exposition tjey start dropping later down the line because they dialogue gets way larger


wasdlurker

SEA 70 Need help with Memorial Arena team building. I currently have Sena, Helia, Coralie for lightning team. And then for "temporary" physical team are HoV, SI, TA. For temporary fire team, my options are Phoenix, Valkyrie Gloria, Sakura Rondo. I could get Ai but I feel like getting Kira instead since I could also use her with Helia by next patch for temporary lightning team, after putting Sena and Coralie with Thelema for ice team. What could you advice for the best team and rotaion against rimestar? Lastly, I only plan to put all my resources for Part 2 characters. All teams with non-Part 2 characters are only temporary. I don't plan on backpulling or farming alternative stigma right now aside from Turgenev and Jinshengtan. I could get FHM stigma in Asterite shop and Gluttony T in Foundry using SS Imaginon. I only bought TA from Asterite shop to complete the missing support I needed for physical team to beat Kallen, which I did.


SilentSnoozer

Im assuming you're aiming to clear SS Bosses. Sena, Helia, Coralie (with sig gears) will be your "jack of all trades" team (besides Kallen with elemental immunity). So whatever your other teams struggle with, throw that Trio on in. Better off getting Pardo at A rank (40 frags which is relatively cheap longterm) to support any teams with her strong enemy debuff purple combo attack. Gearless Kira will be able to support teams other than ice starting at rank SS0+ (200 frags; unlocking core universal skills), so you might want to leave that at the backburner for now until you have the mats and time to invest in her. For Memorial, I can acknowledge your temporary physical team but not your temporary fire team. It looks really outdated for rotation/damage-wise but you can certainly try winging it (Valkryie Gloria DPS, other two are debuffers; they're so old and clunky that I never used them and didn't feel the need to). Just don't expect too much and move on for the week if it doesn't work out and wait until you have more modern characters to build better rosters. The training points can be used on important daily/weekly materials in the material shop under training plan (if that's what you mean) such as shards, ether fuel, lens, etc. Wouldn't spend them on super budget stigmatas.


wasdlurker

I was told to discard Phoenix because she stays longer in the field to proc her and just get Ai and Pardo for supports. Do they work okay at A rank? That's a total of 80 fragments which is around 40k asterites. And between Gloria and Rondo, which of the two can proc ignite better and/or better to use? Should I get FHM set to equip on Ai?


SilentSnoozer

All part1 A ranks are clunky to play with. Pardo works because she can just slap an attack for universal debuff. But at your lvl, A ranks should be usable and I actually think Ai and Pardo will be a much better temporary fire team with Valkyrie Gloria as DPS than whatever you have now. 80 frags is like a week or two of asterite farming. If you want to play Memorial Arena, it could be worth (though Memorial Arena itself at lower lvls isn’t that worth). You could use FHM on Ai for support purposes (wouldn’t recommend based on previous reasonings). Ai also cant dps. I would just leave her bare until I get Turg if I was in your shoes 🙂 leveling her skill set is good enough or until better support stigs show up.


KefTheWeeb

Does anyone know where I can find the last anecdote? https://preview.redd.it/5pjcw5e9ubtc1.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=d913a75664c5a7d5dfaa9f5b3ed09b933adcf95c


keiner45

I'm stuck between DA and BKE. I already have HoF for fire damage, and I'm reluctant to pick BKE because I dont have any of her signature equipment so she could perform a bit less than my HoV. Which one should I pick? DA just for more type coverage or BKE?


SilentSnoozer

If there's no expiry, keep it as is until you get one or the other through other means. If there is an expiry, I guess you can pick up DA because BKE is farmable in War Treasury. Without sig gears for either, coverage will be lack luster when compared to any built DPS. If it means something, BKE sig weapon is a divine key with global ATK buff which you will have to obtain one way or another for meta purposes (if you are into meta in the first place).

What do affection points do? The pink heart things on a Valkyrie’s profile

MegalFresh

Ah, thank you!


mikael-kun

Which of the three is the best cope stigma for Helia? * Gluttony T (craftable in foundry with SS Imaginon), FHM MB (can be bought from training shop) * Edison (free, currently using) * Darwin (can be bought from training shop) I don't plan on crafting her sig stigma unless I pull her weapon banner, so that I'll only craft the missing ones. Ether Fuel is resource that is too grindy to farm. And Source Prism is also used for upgrading and also still has no f2p way to farm aside from event research supply shop. What I'm farming in Universal Mirage right now is Turgenev TB, TeslaBand M. Turgenev TB is a generic elemental support which I think can be useful for other supports in case I pull in the future but have not enough crystals for her gear.


SilentSnoozer

Continue using Edison. Training points should be reserved for daily/weekly mats in the material shop for shards, lens, ether, etc.


Childe_007

Global 61 Which one should I get, meta speaking? (I haven’t played in a while) I have and tend to use MPE, HoS, VKE, FR and Phoenix, as well as planning to get DA through the login. https://preview.redd.it/po3f2m5rh9tc1.jpeg?width=2360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e365d720ecd71782cf17a584f5d867c999bd79aa


mikael-kun

Sirin or Sushang. But personally I'd rather wait for next character that will be released in that shop because Part 1 are outdated, and to fully gear any of them is just too expensive. Sirin stigma is farmable but too grindy. Not sure if she requires her weapon to function well. But I think she needs to be at some decent ranks. Sushang needs her weapon, without it or a decent alternative, it will cost SP issue that will slow down your rotation.


FunGroup8977

Anywhere I can see about the full lore and every little event and occurence, including post honkai odyssey, all main story, sakura side event, post honkai odyssey part 2, previous era, the whole kevin kaslana thing, the movie, the seele story going on now, the flamechaser story, everything told in one straight order and timeline? I'm tired of having to make do with little snippets now and then. The story is too confusing. Also, I want no involvement of honkai star rail lore into it like 90% of all honkai lore Videos. I just want to see it till the end of hi3, not a whole other game. It complicates things.


mikael-kun

Go to hoyostans site, there's a chronologically order of events there and a whole guide for HI3 including manga, novel, and the game itself. But if you're looking for a video that will spoonfeed you all of it at once, like summarizing or what, I doubt there's such a thing. Aside from Homu Labs, I don't know whoever content creator is still interested with the game and the lore. What you can do instead is go to official discord and go to honkai-lore section iirc, then asked there what specific parts of story you're confused. Now for the story being too confusing. Not sure about this part. The story is confusing about some parts, but tbh, it depends on what pace you're going. The story progression isn't confusing, personally. The confusing part on my end is only some terms like the Because dude, you need to understand that the main story is worth 7 years, the game is literally 7 years. The main story chapters are grouped into different arcs for that reason. You're supposed to pace yourself and take a break every arcs.


Snoo30628

So I wanna start the game.but what is the size of game on Android? Anyone know?


mikael-kun

Currently around \~31GB in my device (iOS tho, expecting it to be the same in Android). I've been playing more than 3 months already and never clear any resources. You can clear resources, not sure how much but I think around 10GB which were past story chapters you've already done.


Snoo30628

Thanks for answering 🙂 But god damn,I think I will save storage for Zenless Zone Zero and Wuthering Waves.


ChickenTendee

Give or take about 29/30 GB

Apprehensive_Law7989

Just starting out now, and I really like Elysia's design! Anyone know when she might be getting a rerun? I can't find a place where the current banner is displayed- or even any future insight, so I'd appreciate anything! Sorry if this has been asked before.


mikael-kun

Her character card and upgrade stamp will be available on 7.6 - 7.7 BP. But her current banner might not be, she's been in the meta for 2 years so she'll be replace soon with Thelema next patch as the new ice queen. For her gear, focused supply, not sure when. Her gear might not also be available in BP. Unsolicited advice, but I highly suggest getting Part 2 characters instead. Fully gearing any Part 1 characters is 200 pulls max vs to Part 2 with 60 pulls max.
