Who to choose in the Express Gift in Honkai: Star Rail
In total, there are a total of 100 items available to choose from in the Express Gift event. 7 standard heroes:
- Himeko (Erudition, Fiery);
- Welt (Non-existence, Imaginary);
- Armor (Harmony, Windy);
- Cheetah (Save, Ice);
- Clara (Destruction, Physical);
- Yanqing (Hunting, Ice);
- Bailu (Abundance, Electric).
Next, we will take a closer look at who to take in the Express Gift in HSR, and consider the key features of the characters presented in the event both as a new hero on the and as a way to open eidolons.
- After almost two years of play and the release of many event s Armor remains the most useful standard hero due to the versatility of skills useful for most existing teams and individual characters. The Supreme Guardian of Belobog is able to advance the action of the leading damage dealer by 100%, increasing his damage, and significantly increase the attack power and critical damage of the entire squad. In addition, an equally useful feature is the ability to remove 1 weakening from an ally selected by the skill. The girl will be a useful acquisition both on E0And by E1 и E2.
- With the release of the regime "Pure fiction", focused on destroying multiple waves of enemies in a limited number of cycles, Himeko took a confident second place in the list of the best standard heroes. The Star Express Navigator specializes not only in dealing AoE damage, which is perfect for fighting a large number of enemies, but also in making very frequent bonus attacks when penetrating vulnerabilities. The most useful Eidolons will be E1 и E2.
- No less useful for completing the "Pure Fiction" mode may be Clara. The girl has similar abilities: deals area damage and makes bonus attacks as she takes damage from enemies. She can take the position of both the main and auxiliary damage dealer, focused on distracting enemies with high taunt. Priority for obtaining are Eidolons E2 и E4.
- To make it easier to complete the game plot and many combat modes, Cheetah. The Commander of the Silvermane Guardians has the ability to impose mass shields on the team, as well as the "Freeze" status on the selected target of the skill. Extremely easy to assemble and does not require balancing combat characteristics, allowing you to focus only on defense and the chance of hitting effects. Additionally, it attracts the attention of opponents with a high taunt indicator, increasing the survivability of the squad. It will show itself excellently on E0, and useful consts will be E1 и E4.
- In of combat value, he is significantly inferior to all the characters mentioned. Welt. The Star Express member, while having a useful ability to reduce the speed of opponents, still has extremely weak Eidolons and is unable to deal enough damage to successfully complete the current combat modes.
- The situation is similar Yanqing: the young man is significantly inferior in damage and versatility of skills not only to event representatives of the Path of the Hunt, but also to newer epic characters.
- Bailu, despite the massive heal, ease of assembly and already available on E0 the ability to resurrect a fallen ally, is currently a rather weak follower of Abundance. This is significantly affected by the randomness of the healing skill, as well as the complete lack of the ability to remove debuffs even with eidolons.
The recommendations for selection can also be applied to free lego of your choice for 300 jumps on the standard banner. All the heroes discussed above also appear in this permanent event.
We hope this review helped you decide who to choose in the Express Gift in Honkai: Star Rail. Read other useful articles in the sections: news.
help. should i take armor or himeko. i already have armor e0. but not himeko. i don't have any more legendaries
Armor and Cheetah E0. Clara E1, Himeko E1. I'm still sitting here thinking about who should get their E increased. I have Bailu, but I don't play her, Yanqing is the same crap, everyone is discouraging me from Welt. Cheetah as a second shielder (I have E6 Aventurine) looks more advantageous, the action points, although rare, from Armor can also be useful. 30% attack for Clara, if you look at all the formulas, is some kind of nonsense.
I want more and more frequent express gifts, Himeko only C4.
The article does not reflect one point that could undermine the established logic:
In Genshin, Dendro was introduced as a full-fledged element with its own characters. Along with this, the pool of standard legions was updated, Tignari was added there, one of the best representatives of the Genshin standard, who feels quite good even against the background of a bunch of event legions (although, of course, not all of them).
Why am I saying this? Now a new path is being introduced into honkai - memory. The probability of a new standard character of the path of memory appearing is very high, there is an opinion on the Internet that such a character will be Aglaya, as the first character of memory in principle (and her strength, judging by the beta test, is far from as impressive as that of Acheron-Sveta, although you can’t call her weak either).
In any case, these are just guesses. And even if they are true, the gift will most likely not be changed, they will force you to choose only from the seven original characters.
But if the stars align, Aglaya will become top-1 in this rating. Only niche characters, like Broni-Himeko-Gepard, will be able to push her out on s that are experiencing a shortage in a specific direction. Otherwise, a character who can accelerate to 240 speed during the ult is a strong for the .
One way or another, Aglaya will NOT be present in this promotion. The recommendations, in turn, concern the "Express Gift".
If the rest are competitive. Armor is still a niche top . The niche is of course narrow, but in fact with eidolons it accelerates to the level of limits.
Memory, even if it comes out and is added, will not shake it in this list. And here the top 1 is harmony, and the top two are simply not. Aglaya will stand on par with armor only if she demonstrates damage at the level of current limits coupled with versatility. And still, you can recruit any DD, and armor is in its niche alone.
If any point is not reflected, then it is Welt and its possible uses that have not been sufficiently considered.
But since she is an extremely controversial character (the most controversial of the standards), this can be understood.
I'm afraid I can't agree:
First of all, you clearly don't know what Aglaya is. So, this is a Jingliu-level character: the same destroyer, but electric. The main feature is that after the ult, she and her summon begin to add 70 speed to themselves up to 6 times. You can stack until the countdown ends - it has the same theme as Sveta's skill or Robin's ult, the ending event on the action . This is not the final version, it will be edited more than once, but it is already clear that in of the number of moves, she has every chance to sur the same Sveta, due to which she will most likely have time to charge a new ult before the end of the old one. If she doesn't have time herself, Sunday will help, that's what he was released for. In general, this is a character who is designed to move almost as often as the damned Huley. This alone is enough for her to easily enter at least the A-tier even with complete brutality in other aspects. But everything is not bad there, so it will most likely be an S character, if not an S+ tier.
Still think it can be compared to the normal standard?
Secondly, I have an e3 Armor with a signature. I have an e2 Acheron in my squad, and it's not bad overall, but it takes up too many points. I turned up Sunday here (with a signature, though). For fun, I put him instead of the Armor. And... I got almost the same result. Think about it: Sunday buffs Acheron, which has neither energy nor summons. And it shows the same level as your vaunted e3 Armor. It already hints at how much the standard is down compared to the event ones. And there's also Sparkle, which is inferior to the Armor only in that it advances the turn by 50% instead of 100%. That's why I sincerely don't understand the phrase: "...the armor is alone in its niche." - if you take it from standard harmonies, then of course it is the only one, the standard is designed so that there is one character of each type, there are no other harmonies. But if you compare it with other legos, then there are two competitors that are noticeably better, even though they have their own specifics.
I'm reading now and I understand that you are the only one who looked at things adequately and was right, ahahaha
Armor won't fit Aglaya simply because she doesn't promote summons.
I took the E4 Armor, but then I knocked out Sunday...
D — d***l.
you will put it in 2 packs
Sunday - acceleration for hypercarry with double buff from pets or energy.
The armor accelerates other and its buff is higher than Sunday's. It has other tasks and packs.
So you're a D because you put them on par, but you're smart to take the armor.
For example, in the Feixiao pack, e6 armor with a Sunday cone gives only a non-decaying damage buff of 127%. It also adds an attack power buff and crit damage from the ult. Once per round, it also adds an attack bonus to Feixiao and Aventurine, and moves Feixiao twice, the main thing is to set the speed of the latter so that after moving it goes in front of the armor. But there is a nuance here, the move in front of the armor will be without a buff from the skill until you get e6.
The armor is a crazy buffer, but there are few squads for it. Sunday in the same squad is an order of magnitude worse.
Armor has one small advantage - it increases defense for all allies. I ed this when I tried Sunday instead of it in IC, and the characters fell, not having time to heal through Gallagher's talent
It was easiest for me, the only one I didn't have was Armor and I don't play any of them anymore :)
I took E5 Velta, a little more and it will be E6. Why? I don't know.
At one time, Gepart E0 and Himeko E0 helped me more. Himeko and Gerta helped me win at least something on pure fiction, until normal characters appeared. And Gepart, with Gallagher helped in everything else, until Linsha and Fu Xuan appeared. I took Clara for fun twice and knocked her out again, now she is E2 and there is about 2 sense from her compared to other characters. But there is potential, only a painfully demanding character.
I took my first Himeko... it hasn't fallen out in a year and a half))
But 3 byles -_-
5 chem…
Good article, especially because you indicated how many Eidolons characters need to unlock them, more or less. :)
