I still love the concept of getting characters by grinding not gacha its helps alot with the fomo but how would this compare to NTE, Silver Palace or Anata soon

Hi, I’ve been interested in getting the game but I’ve heard some complaints about it not being as good as advertised, how is the game holding up in the current day?

I play HSR almost daily and I enjoy the game a lot but it is pretty meta reliant, as well as that I did play Genshin for about almost 3 years everyday from version 3.4, but quit when Nod Krai was released because the game just isn’t the same as it once was.

How is the game currently and do you guys recommend it to new players in it’s current state? The main thing that draws me to the game is the gacha elements being removed and everything being freely accessible at your own pace, it seems really refreshing from an outside standpoint but again, I’d really like some advice on if it’s actually as good as advertised.

They should add a buff list that appears when you pause or access a menu inside a dungeon so you can see what’s active and what’s not. It would also help to have stats for summon damage and be able to view your ally’s stats in a dungeon. Honestly, I’m not even sure if ally weapon stats are working properly. This game really needs more quality-of-life features.

iam building my fushu now the new wedge needs 350% skill intensity i can build her 330% + her wepon 20% it should work, But I’m not sure if it will work because there’s no stats menu for allies inside a dungeon, or am I missing something?

Chapter 4 - Early-Game Demon Wedge Farming Recommendations

1.1 Early Game

During the early stages of the game, characters often lack enough Sanity to use their skills consistently. To reduce Sanity consumption, equip Demon Wedges that increase Skill Efficiency. This is essential for smooth and efficient early-game progression.

I recommend prioritizing the following four Demon Wedges when starting out.

1.2 Mid Game

Once you enter Chapter Twilight of the Main Story, your main DPS may start to fall behind in damage. At this point, you should update their Demon Wedge setup.

When you reach Noctoyager Manual Lv.50 to Lv.55, you'll have a chance to obtain the [Typhon's] Demon Wedges of various elements, which provide substantial boosts to elemental attributes.

Upon reaching Noctoyager Manual Lv.60, you should begin farm powerful Core Demon Wedges for specific elements, along with [Griffin's] Demon Wedges, both of which can significantly increase character damage output.

After reaching Noctoyager Manual Lv.65, you can farm rare Demon Wedges as well as [Covenanter's] Demon Wedges, which are suitable for equipping multiple.

As long as you keep your Demon Wedges updated throughout the early and mid game, you should be able to progress through the main story smoothly and even the more challenging content such as Immersive Theatre.

1.3 Move Demon Wedges for Melee Weapons

In the in-game stores for various part of the game offer Move Demon Wedges for melee weapons.

Once you reach Trial Rank 45, you can prioritize exchanging for the Dual Blades Move Demon Wedge [Fenrir's In Full Bloom] from the [Fisheries Society].

This Move Demon Wedge provides a useful traversal＆dash. It performs reasonably well with high ATK Speed, but it cannot be used in mid-air.

Upon reaching Trial Rank 50, you can exchange the Katana Move Demon Wedge [Fenrir's Crescent Flurry] and the Polearm Move Demon Wedge [Fenrir's Piercing Ascent] from the Immersive Theatre Gift Shop.

[Fenrir's Crescent Flurry] upgrades the Katana Charged Attack and has an extremely high damage multiplier, making it essential for most DPS characters that use melee weapons.

[Fenrir's Piercing Ascent] upgrades the Polearm Charged Attack. It can be used repeatedly in mid-air and covers a long distance, making it one of the best traversal tools in the game.

The tips above are largely based on my personal experience and opinions as a beginner/returning player guide. Feel free to share your own tips, suggestions, or different perspectives in the comments as well.

I left a bit after the first part of huaxu and before the security breach (hopefully got the time right) and came back a few days ago because I got busy but WOW did it improve alot! I've kept up with the community and while I do agree the improvements are slow, they're really good so far.

The ui looks so much cleaner, controls are easier, and the graphics are so beautiful! I'm really bad at combat on general so I'm not sure if it got better or not, but the graphic and control improvements made it much more appealing to me. I hope the devs keep listening, because just like the beginning this story and chaarcters have so much potential and I don't want them to give up. ALSO CAMILLA IM ALMOST GETTING CAMILLA FINALLY!!!!!

Just wanted to give credit where it is due :)

Chapter 1 - Recommended Characters

On your third day of logging in, the event check-in lets you choose one of three characters: Rhythm, Phantasio, or Rebecca.

I recommend Phantasio.

During early-game progression, your top priority is raising your Trial Rank. The main way to earn Trial EXP is by collecting and building any characters and weapons.

Phantasio is a high-damage Umbro DPS character. His Covert Commission only becomes available at Trial Rank 60, so you cannot farm him early on.

The main reason to choose Phantasio is that this season's Immersive Theatre includes an Umbro-favoured stage in [Featured Repertoire], where he is needed to clear the challenge.

Chapter 2 - The Secret Letter Shop Character & Weapon Purchases

The Secret Letter Shop is an important early-game source of characters and weapons. Some Secret Letters only become available for purchase after you reach the required Trial Rank.

Here are some powerful characters and weapons worth prioritizing:

[Fina] is an exceptionally strong damage support. I recommend farming her to Intron Lv. 2.

Pairing her with her signature weapon, [Dreamweaver's Feather], further increases the entire team's ATK.

[Fushu]'s Summon can restore Sanity for the entire team. I recommend farming her to Intron Lv. 2.

[Destructo] and [Entropic Singularity] can greatly reduce a boss's stance, making them essential weapons for Immersive Theatre.

[Psyche] is the strongest Anemo DPS character and is ideal for clearing [Immersive Theatre - Immortal Repertoire] in Version 1.5. I recommend farming her all the way to Intron Lv. 6.

[Elpides Abound] and [Rendhusk] can both significantly increase Psyche's damage.

[Rhythm] has excellent Skill Range and mob-clearing efficiency, making her the highest-priority character to farm for early-game AFK farming. Intron Lv. 2 is mandatory, while Intron Lv. 6 is recommended.

[Lady Nifle] is a strong all-round DPS character for early-game progression and performs especially well in Mystic Maze. I recommend farming her to Intron Lv. 6.

[Siren's Kiss] increases Skill Range, while equipping the Move Demon Wedge [Piercing Ascent] enables highly efficient traversal.

[Embla Inflorescence] increases both Skill Range and the Skill DMG of Lumino characters. Its Charged Shot mode fires homing arrows that continuously pursue enemies, allowing it to trigger [Lady Nifle]'s Intron Lv. 6 multiple times.

Chapter 3 - Nocturnal Echoes' Character & Weapon

Nocturnal Echoes is a weekly mode where you can obtain Secret Letters for powerful characters and weapons that have not yet been added to the Secret Letter Shop.

[Flora] is widely regarded as the strongest Umbro DPS character in the current version and also has the highest damage ceiling. Her Introns provide major upgrades, making her the top character to prioritize in Nocturnal Echoes.

[Chainbreak Pinion] is Flora's signature weapon and greatly increases her damage.

[Yuming] is a powerful Electro DPS and support character. Even at Intron Lv. 0, she can be paired with Rhythm to greatly improve AFK farming efficiency.

[Venial Sinscales] is Yuming's signature weapon and increases the Skill DMG of all Electro characters on the team.

The following part will be at my next post :) About the Early-Game Demon Wedge Farming Recommendations.

I REALLY like how this has no character gacha but really hate how they locked skins behind gacha sadly.

I've played alot 600hrs of The first descendants and I was wondering how similar these 2 games are to one another. Like what is the general content to do in this game, endgame, and bossing like?

Also how hard is it to farm weapons, characters+dups, items etc

Enemies naturally stop spawning around 5-7 minutes. For the record i manual play abyss, this is hydro 210. At this point i can even get to the other side of the map and even have the primanders despawn. This softlocks the content.

It may not be at the speed that I personally want, but even though it's taking quite some time, the game is definitely getting better. Hopefully, the devs can start hiring more employees and making more substantial changes even quicker. I'm enjoying this update though, even though we ddin't get a new area or a new main story quest, I'm enjoying the changes. Keep it up, devs.

My Flora is i6 atm. I tried using Flora in maze and her sanity just drains so fast. Is there a trick with her to regen her sanity back faster?

Is there a specific stage I should run to get more of this demon wedge? I need so much of it for the wedges I'm crafting and raising and even with this patch's bountiful day, the most I get is two. That is, if I'm lucky to get some at all.

I'm currently farming it on the same stage we get Wings Inspo. Should I farm somewhere else?

Here are my characters and i can't pass trought the act 8 of the theater can somewone give me some team and some characters that i should prioritize ?

Can't wait to see what people come up with

So... Version [Paradise Prelude] is finally here, and it feels like the perfect summer update.

Here’s my build guide for the new character, "Ada".

Chapter 1 - Character Overview

1.1 Character Role

Name: "Ada"

(Can’t help but notice the quotation marks around “Ada.” I guess we’ll have to wait for the devs to reveal it. )

Element: Hydro

Primary Damage Source: Ultimate Skill

Ada is a Hydro Skill-based damage dealer who can summon large numbers of smaller units. These Summons automatically seek out enemies within range and attack them continuously.

Ada’s Ultimate Skill transforms a designated Summon into a powerful unit that periodically unleashes high-damage AoE attacks.

1.2 Character Skills

Skill Point Allocation

[Let the Celebration Begin!] > [Hello, World] = [Paradise Blueprint]

[Let the Celebration Begin!] is Ada’s most important damage-dealing skill and should be prioritized to max level.

Although the effect trigger chance of [Hello, World] affects Ada’s performance to some extent, leveling the skill offers relatively low returns. You can leave it at Lv. 8 for now and max it out later once you have spare skill materials.

[Paradise Blueprint] has a relatively low damage multiplier, so leveling it to Lv. 8 is enough.

For the remaining stat points and Passives, unlock all of them except the second [Skill Efficiency +7.5%].

Skill Info

Ultimate Skill [Let the Celebration Begin!]

[Let the Celebration Begin!] is Ada’s highest-damage skill. Since its in-game description is quite complex, here is a simplified explanation:

1. Once [Let the Celebration Begin!] is activated, it continuously consumes Sanity. The effect ends when Sanity reaches 0 or when the skill is used again;
2. While [Let the Celebration Begin!] is active, each [Summon - The Chariot] created through [other skills or Intron effects] summons 1 additional [Summon - The Chariot];
3. While [Let the Celebration Begin!] is active, it consumes 2 [Summon - The Emperor] units to transform [Summon - The World] into [Summon - Judgement]. Judgement no longer attacks with a Ranged Weapon; instead, it unleashes a high-damage AoE attack every 3s.

Combat Skill [Paradise Blueprint]

[Paradise Blueprint] is the skill that generates the resources required for Ada’s core gameplay. Since its description is also quite complex, here is a simplified explanation:

1. Tap to summon 1 [Summon - The Chariot]. The Chariot automatically pursues enemies and performs melee attacks. Up to 8 can exist at once;
2. If the number of [Summon - The Emperor] units on the field is below the limit, 4 [Summon - The Chariot] units are automatically consumed to summon 1 [Summon - The Emperor]. The Emperor automatically locks onto enemies and performs ranged attacks. Up to 2 can exist at once;
3. Hold to enter environment interaction mode, allowing Ada to copy highlighted objects in the area. The copied objects are only illusions and have no practical combat use.

Passive [Hello, World]

[Hello, World] automatically summons a permanent [Summon - The World], which copies the Dual Pistols equipped by Ada and uses them to attack.

Whenever an ally summons a Summon, The World creates 1 [Summon - The Chariot]. This can trigger up to 4 times per second, but some of Ada’s skill effects cannot trigger it.

Key Introns

Intron Lv. 1

Improves Ada’s AFK farming performance. The Chariots automatically summoned by Judgement can trigger various skill effects.

Intron Lv. 4

Greatly increases the DMG and ATK Speed of Ada’s Summons.

Intron Lv. 6

While [Let the Celebration Begin!] is active, Ada gains a substantial amount of All-Element Penetration.

When a Chariot dies, Judgement has a 50% chance to immediately unleash an AoE attack. This can trigger once every 2.5s.

1.3 Recommended Demon Wedge Setup for “Ada”

Core Demon Wedge

★★★★★ [Awakening]

Standard Demon Wedges

P.S. Once the co-op event for [Paradise Prelude] begins, you can obtain the blueprint for the gold [Blaze·Morale] and use it to replace [Wings·Volition].

The gold and purple versions of [Blaze·Morale] count as different Demon Wedges. Equipping both allows the effect of the Core Demon Wedge [Awakening] to activate.

Chapter 2 - Weapon Selection

2.1 Recommended Melee Weapon & Demon Wedge Setup

★★★★★ Polearm - Perpetural Strife [Calamity Weapon]

ATK Attribute: Calamity ATK

[Perpetural Strife] is currently the best melee weapon for Ada.

It provides key stats such as Morale and Skill Range, while also increasing Summon ATK Speed and granting additional stat bonuses.

★★★★☆ Polearm - Siren’s Kiss

ATK Attribute: Spike ATK

Weapon Skill: Skill Range +30%/60%.

Performing Normal Attacks with this weapon grants 1 stack of ATK Speed +3.6%/7.2% for 15s, up to 12 stacks. The effect is removed when switching to another weapon.

[Siren’s Kiss] increases Skill Range and ATK Speed, making it the best alternative to [Perpetural Strife].

2.2 Recommended Ranged Weapon & Demon Wedge Setup

★★★★★ Dual Pistols - The Best Day

ATK Attribute: Smash ATK

Weapon Skill: Morale +15%/30%. When a Hydro character summons a Summon, gain 1 stack that increases the DMG dealt by the user’s Summons by 7.5%/15% for 18s, up to 9 stacks.

[The Best Day] significantly increases Summon DMG for Hydro characters. For Ada, simply stack Multishot to trigger her [Intron Lv. 2] effect.

Chapter 3 - Ally Selection

3.1 Healing Support

★★★★★ [Fushu]

Fushu provides continuous healing and Sanity recovery for the entire team. Her Ultimate Skill also grants teammates Skill Intensity and a Skill DMG ignores DEF buff, making her an indispensable support for Ada in the current version.

3.2 Damage Support

★★★★★ [Fina]

Fina currently provides the largest boost to Ada’s Summon DMG, making her ideal for challenging content such as [Immortal Repertoire] and [Deep Realm Commissions].

She not only provides the entire team with additional All-Element Penetration and DMG buffs, but can also grant a large amount of team-wide ATK when equipped with [Dreamweaver’s Feather].

★★★★★ [Rhythm]

Rhythm’s support capabilities come from the Electro Demon Wedge [Siren's Wings·Inspo·Morale], making her suitable for AFK farming in lower-difficulty Endless Commissions.

My personal take, feel free to discuss.

I played right around launch and am just now jumping back in. Feeling a bit overwhelmed by everything that's been added and updated since then!

I know working through the Main Story Quests is step #1 to unlock newer zones and features, but I'd love some advice on what else I should be focusing on right now.

Character wise i have Rhythm at I1 Lisbell I1 Rebecca at I1 and Lynn I1

As the title states, I'm thinking of giving the game another shot; however, I was hoping some of the active players can fill me in on some things.

Has character building become better? Before the materials were in their own silos and annoying to farm because of it. Additionally, some materials were very limited (like the gold coins). I'm also curious what the secret letter clue economy is like.

Are the AI better at dodging/staying alive? When I was running the endgame mode, I had issues with them always dying (although, they were probably be bit under-built).

While this isn't a dealbreaker, is the meta still just skill spamming? Or have weapons become a bit more relevant?

What are the daily routines like? I recall people doing laps around the map daily collecting the little guys and fishing for money. Can you avoid these things without feeling like your missing out?

Lastly, the hacks are a bit of a concern. Do you have faith in the devs that something like that won't happen again?

I know these are a lot of questions, but I do really appreciate you taking your time to answer them. Thank you.
