Light Cone Luck & Penacony Purgatory [Honkai: Star Rail Erudition Only]

  • Jing Yuan had a rerun in Star Rail just as Penacony was released so we set out to both try and grab some eidolons and light cones before the banners expired, as well as explore Penacony's story for the first time.
    Is it possible to beat the content of Honkai: Star Rail with ONLY Erudition Characters? That means the story, forgotten hall, simulated universe, etc.
    With no sustain of any kind, it's definitely gonna be a challenge for us... And getting a Himeko on the account is all we can hope for with our first 5 star

    @ultimatethunderboy5830 Před měsícem +73

    So, with how the meta evolved, it definitely seem like Erudition may have been one of if not the hardest paths to solo (Hunt is prob the hardest though)
    Abundance & Preservation at least have sustain, which yes, will make the battles take for ever, but you prob won't die too often
    Destruction despite being an offensive path, has units with a lot of defensive utility. Clara's light cone can semi heal her, Xueyi e2 heals upon follow-up activation, Blade actually is un-killable in certain situations and generally a bit more defence for the units.
    Nihility has proven to become a top tier path, and Acheron has pushed ahead the Nihility only meta, with characters that somewhat helps with sustain like Welt, or characters that don't care about weakness types like Silver Wolf. Then untop of that, you can run DoT teams, whom already often run 3 DoT characters.
    Then there's Harmony, who I can't really predict how would function in a mono setting. They have some of the best units for buffing, meaning that you prob could push out dmg from some units (Yukong primarily I would think), so I suppose it's not all that bad, you still lack the sustain, but considering the element, it wouldn't surprise me if a Harmony character eventually has a bit more sustaining attributes (Ruan Mei kinda does, in a similar vain to Welt, with delaying enemies' actions)
    All in all, kudos for sticking to the Erudition path, even though at times it can feel bleak. No Sustain, no single target focus makes bosses rough & lack of SP since most wants to use their skill, & we don't even have full type coverage due to lack of Wind & Imaginary.
    As you say, we can hope there's a future Erudition character who leans more support orientated (I don't really see how a straight up Erudition healer could work without becoming an Abundance character, but maybe someone who has self-healing properties), and then maybe also characters of the missing types, which would be nice.

    • @Nowaylarry
      @Nowaylarry Před měsícem +6

      As someone with a Harmony only account I can say it is rough but not to bad yet. Granted there is an up coming boss fight that is an AOE check and I'm not looking forward to it. Basically anything that AOE heavy becomes difficult. If Jimothy Yuan wasn't forced on you I probably would have been stuck on Phantiliya (I can farm the mats at lower difficulties). The account will get easier with a Ruan Mei rerun and Harmony TB but currently I just have Bronya (very lucky start), Asta, Hanya and Sparkle. I've not done Sparkle's weekly boss yet (really want Yukong or HTB first) or most of Penacony.

  • @crystalquartz3119
    @crystalquartz3119 Před měsícem +3

    Java, since you leveld up your equilibrium level, you're kind of screwed... but, there are some stuff you can try...
    Speed - speed is VERY important on every character, it's a really important stat for late game (your current situation)
    Himeko - since she is the only character that can break his weakness. Also you broke its weakness in half with 96 speed, thats actually really good. If you can squeeze as much break effect on Himeko (the piece - Link Rope - can have a break effect main stat) and you put her on speed boots (96 is not enough.) and try to get speed and break effect as much as you can on sub stats. There is a really high probability to break its weakness and it can help you a lot.
    Also yeah the xianzhou food that somebody commented will help a bunch if its true.
    Best of luck!

    There is a consumable that you can unlock from the aurum alley event that heals everyone (including the enemies) by 1000 HP per turn for a set number of turns. 1000 HP is nothing to a boss but could greatly prolong your team's ability to stay in the fight. So my advice is unlock the consumable (prayer machine) and swap everyone back to damage relics.
