Honkai Impact 3rd

Dunno if it’s a good idea to announce that in the middle of the HoS hype, but eh.

So it’ll be another SP, huh. It seems like normal A valks are a thing of the past now (seriously, since Valkyrie Gloria all the valks have been either S, awakened, agumented or SP).

Well, the new battlesuit leaks are from the Chinese servers, who should be on the second half of their HoS version, I believe.

I got myself Ho S. I used her in the latest Abyss and i got to 800s. That's my highest.

There’s a player at 916 in my bracket.

Plus there that cursed Ranged Weather level… Good thing I managed to be in the top 3 last round, I have some extra "lives" thanks to that…

I just learned that Tlāloc is an actual name of a Aztec god. I thou3it was made up. I don't know why considering the names of the other Honkai beasts.

I got super lucky and pulled Ho S, her gauntlets, and her middle stigma in the first 10-pull in their supply drops. She's fun to play, but her victory pose is kinda creepy...there's something about her face when she's talking there that doesn't look right.

Yeah… But at the same time it’s a bit funny, since she looks like a beginner model posing for Super Evil Magazine or something.

Got lucky with HoS and got her on my first 10-pull. Her equipment... not so much, so she'll be getting some of my old Weapons and Stigmata for now.

I had a laugh when I read the description of the Pri-ARM trial, another laugh when I looked at the names of her skills, and yet another laugh when I saw her "repeatedly bash my enemies" Ultimate. miHoYo went all in with her bratty teenager personality.

True Also, her riding her scabbard like a spaceboard is one of my favorite mechanics ATM.

I wonder if there’s a trope for the characters hijacking the descriptions like that… is this a type of Breaking the Fourth Wall?

This is minor but really funny to me. I did the Honkai BEFALL daily event with Asuka, Void Drifter, and HoS as my team. HoS took off running so fast that each time the Honkai beasts dropped in, she had to come running back to join the fight.

She’s still salty about losing that race against Tronya.

I think this update was my best haul. Im also close in getting Ho T costume. And the best part was it was done F 2 P.

I went for Zither/Shuijing but no luck for me so far (although I did get the Nue sword, Irene T and Adrift M, but they aren’t of much use for me at the moment).

Well, i spend enough to get Ho T outfit.

I gave in to the call of the whale to pull for full Shuijing. I hate myself. But now I have full Shuijing.

As for 4.7, it seems like at long last Abyss Flower will become a playable weapon. Without Cecilia. Come on. =[

Huh, I'm surprised that they're already releasing Abyss Flower already. I thought they postponed releasing Fenghuang Down because people complained that they released it too close to the previous Divine Key?

Also, Playable Cecilia, when?

I guess postponing SD made its release date closer to AF’s (assuming it was planned long in advance)?

Anyway, love the new Homu boss in Abyss. I had trouble coming up with an effective strategy, but I did alright in the end. I think it’s the first time I’ve survived a full month in Redlotus since breaking through…

Hmm... based on the survey questions, looks like miHoYo's planning for their next collab already.

Gotta say, the idea of 2B or Tifa as a Valkyrie has a certain appeal to it.

2B would look weird in Mihoyo graphics, but that’d be cool for sure.

I would splurged on Tifa.

Unless her boobs are reduced.

Can someone take a look at the example writeup I did for the Gacha Mechanics TLP and LMK if it needs any tweaks or additions?

The Expansion Supply part should probably mention that a Valkyrie introduced in that version also gets an Expansion Equipment Supply where a player could try to roll for the Valkyrie's signature Weapon and 3-part Stigmata set. There's a pity counter of 50 for each part of the Signature Set that gets reset whenever you get a part of the set that you haven't drawn yet, so a player is guaranteed to get the entire Signature set in 200 pulls or less.

And there's the Focus Supply, which has a higher Rate Up for the featured Weapon and Stigmata set than the Expansion Equipment supply, but has no pity counter for the target equipment. However, it has the Wishing Well mechanic where a player can sacrifice 2 duplicate Stigmata parts they got in the featured set and replace them with the missing piece.

Other than that, the example looks good.

This is cute.

We really do need an actual name for HoS.
