Yoo wait, 2nd comment incoming. Boss concept ideas. Blade: blade's powers of the abundance automatically steal 50% of your healing for himself. Silver wolf: gives your characters a toughness bar after they've been hit by an abilty and if silver wolf breaks this bar, it does a weakness break on you character. Boothill : he does a standoff with one of you character ofc and if he deals over 25% of your hp he does a massive hit of dmg. If you deal over 25% dmg you get a permanent weakness efficiency buff. Dr. ratio : when he starts the fight he will drop one of his taunting statues on you, and when phase 2 starts he makes 5 of these statues that you can atk and the one with the same pose as the statue he dropped is the one you need to atk, if you atk another one he drops a pillar on you, if you hit the right one he gets broken and his actions is fast forwarded. Jade : signs a contract with one of you allies as an atk. Any buffs that character gets will dmg them and give that buff to jade too.
I love seeing people theorize ideas for boss fights, in a previous video people were giving out ideas. And ever since they introduced the POV system for the story. We could literally have Canonical Fights against Express Members of Allies, if they make us play in the POV of a villain-ish character. Say we play in Luocha POV and have to fight Welt/Himeko Having Blade doing Lifesteal would be sick, especially given one of his traces is called Shuhu's blessing, who I believe was an emanator of Abundance Silverwolf would be funny to see that, I like the idea of just her giving you a sort of timer/health bar for her to break. Like her hacking into your system and disabling your character Boothill: They should really do the concept that they did with Aventurine in his first life. Have him do a move that impairs/stuns all of your party members but 1 at random, forcing a standoff between them. Idk how things would be pushed further or like how they could add like a mini shield mechanic, but it would be epic for Boothill. Dr Ratio using his statues to protect himself would be too sick too honestly yesss, for protection and maybe even give them like spikes or something like that so allies get hurt when attacking or idk OMG Jade having a contract of no harm, like that one enemy, that uses thunders and does like "Whoever uses a skill will be punished" I love that idea so much
@@ManCarSua unrelated question wich paths do you suspect the next planet will have, because black swan said that there were 2 paths there and that has been on my mind ever since.
@@Merc_507 I want to say maybe something related to the Nihility and the Erudition, since it seems they are both linked via Dr Primitive and the whole Device IX. Not to mention Acheron, Galaxy Rangers and so much more. But first we gotta go back to the Loufu and see characters from the other Xianzhou ships I am looking forward to seeing also more of those ships and for us to get Hunt Trailblazer, whenever that happens, but I think it may be one of the last paths we get Also I believe she said there were 3 in that planet, so it seems to be a massive collission of things going on there. I am intrigued and hyped for it though
Firefly is the most lovable HSR Character imo. Then again I really resonated with the rooftop scene due to my physical disability so maybe I’m just biased. Also a lot of things about Firefly reminds me of Samus
Honestly understandable. Firefly is really cool ocer all. The rooftop scene was absolutely incredible and beautifully made by Hoyoverse. Hope you are doing great, and in all honesty there is nothing wrong with having biases in that regard. I am happy to hear you are able to connect and enjoy it more because of the characters! And yesss firefly does have some Samus vibes in her design and that is really cool
I thought of an idea where in a Silver Wolf boss, if you looked at her weaknesses there would just be an "X" grafitti, and if you looked into her stat screens it would all be grafittied over it with something like "guess lol" so like, she breaks the fourth wall and does not let you see her stats and stuff
Honestly that sounds incredible and a lot of fun. I think it would be neat for her abilities to be addressing the players, like in the title of the abilities. The ability to switch her weaknesses would be sick and hide them further is a lot more insane. Definitely in flavor and incredibly fun. Having the idea of her buffing herself or doing some weird things to debuff us would break my mind
I am very flattered and happy hearing that! I hope you enjoyed the video! Sam really is an amazing character as a whole and I love how well they made him and Firefly feel both as unique characters, but also as a singular person too. Hoyo has done so freaking great with this game
@@ManCarSua as a lore and design nerd I'm hoping that you'll keep what you're doing rn. It's always and enjoyable experience to discuss and listen to other peoples view on this topics
Firefly is the reason I started playing Honkai Star Rail. With all of what you discussed are the very same reasons I fell in love with her along with the latest story and characters added to the game. Another thing I really like about her is her focus on facing life and death head on, and it makes me want to see her grow and evolve her resolve as the story continues. Her character really screams and embodies the many themes revolving around in Persona 3 which is personally one of my favorite games of all time.
That's awesome. I am glad to hear that Firefly made you download the game and I hope you have been enjoying it! The concept of her facing life and death is a really cool narrative for them to tackle, and honestly helps to talk on these things. And OMG YES Persona 3 having a lot of concepts of facing death, accepting it and growing from it was so good. Persona 3 will always be on my top games of all times, and I cannot wait for the Expantion coming out in September to finally be able to play The Answer chapter. Since I didn't have FES
The Iron Calvary is created to be disposable like the Spartan IIIs of Alpha and Beta class and the Clones of Star Wars and may have partly been made with the power of Propagation to use swarm tactics to counter the Swarm. The Glamoth-Swarm conflict could also have happened within a centry of the current HSR storyline as the followers of and Aeon can remain after the Aeon is absorbed, destroyed or whatever, and Tayzzyroth is imprisoned by Qlipoth, so a section of the Swarm could have been roaming the universe just eating solar systems and reproducing.
Yeah they even added a failsafe to have them perish if they survived. So at the end of the day every soldier was expendable and ideally never to be seen again once the battle was over. I really am liking that potential theory of them being made with the power of the propagation. Especially since the Iron Cavalry Soldiers are called Fireflies. Which are a type of Beetle, just like the Swarm has inspiration on that particular type of bug. Having the potential of the swarm returning is scary but definitely possible. After all we know a sort of hive exists in Herta Space Station and somewhere in the Universe a Kaiju one exists from the Argenti storyline Also props to Argenti for single handedly dealing with Massive Swarm bugs on his own. He really needs to receive more credit as the powerhouse he is
@@ManCarSua it might not even be a failsafe. They might have used Imaginary energy to power the suits but it might not be enough, so they could have used the energy from the atoms inside the bodies of the Iron Calvary to power the suits, and as they eat and such they regenerate energy, but not enough to completely replace the lost energy, which results in the Entropy Loss Syndrome. Empress Titania may also have been one of the most powerful pathstriders of Propagation and spread her power throughout the Iron Calvary to give them false dreams of the Welkin Empire and give them power to power the armor. And as most of the Iron Calvary falls the power coalesces into Firefly to create the Complete Combustion state and let her destroy Glamoth.
I love firefly as a character. Soo adorable, kind, and pure. Her condition makes me feel soo bad for her. I feel similar in a way but a bit differently. Although i have a decently strong body, my mind is very weak. Trauma has broken my mind and its irreversible. While firefly has a stronger mind than most characters in HSR. She died 3 times and helped save penacony and its people. The way that she stood up towards sunday and his way of thinking was wonderful. Same goes for the rooftop scene and the 3rd death scene. All wonderful. I hope we see her more in the future.
Firefly has been a great addition for the world building of the game and just a welcomed nice face to have, they have been incredibly fun and wonderful to interact with and they are a helpful character for the story, which makes you empathize and care for her. Geniunely they did such an amazing job with Firefly that it made me appreciate her and want to see even more of her in future patches and updates to see where the story will lead all of us And yes the rooftop scene was top tier
@ManCarSua I hope we see more from her cause she was one of the best characters in the penacony story. And i hope they don't attempt to kill her off for a 4th time. I hope she can be a key character to help the trailblazer remember their past (cause apparently the trailblazer has some sort of past history with stelloron hunters like kafka).
After you mentioned the little hair detail it came to my mind. We know that "The Empress" is a hive mind, is it possible that because every other suit died some kind of shared power gathered in Firefly's suit? That can explain the little hair detail and why she gained power to destroy an entire planet in the end of the cinematic.
Ooooooh wait that is sick and you are right. I had forgotten that they do work as a hive mind. Connecting them further to the whole bugs theme that they share with the propagation. It could be possible for the remnant power to have also been the source of her being able to drift through space, without the suit on, and not have faded out of existance from Entropy Loss Syndrome as well.
Yeah, it will be nice for the future. I know that I had fun making those video when I first started tapping into this series. And now that I have grown further and more confident. I want to give more love and attention to the first videos given how short they are now in comparisson
btw the Finalitys Vision mechanic only works on limited time events it's great for players in early game who doesn't want to rush the story just to play a single event
Oooh thanks for explaining it! Really appreciate it. I didn't know what it was. Honestly it is such an insanely good mechanic for everyone to be included in this. I am hyped to learn more about the Finality
My biggest problem with firefly's kit is that the ult is just sam becomes randomly better. It makes no sense lorewise that the sam mech has just a better form that she never uses.(in the story)
That is true, though to be fair, it is implied that the SAM boss fight we had initially is Firefly holding back, and wanting to conceal their identity. And it seems like them going into like the SUPER mode from the ultimate would have revealed to us it is her. And she couldn't due to Acheron and Black Swan. But yeah, it does leave a bit of bitter taste in the mouth I wish they had given those animations to the Stellaron Hunter (Complete) Boss fight from Divergent Universe now that you mention it
@@luckyshikikan6985 OMG WAIT YOU ARE SO RIGHT. I will be both incredibly scared and hyped for it. Argenti caught me off guard with his shield of tokens ngl
@@arnowisp6244 wait that is so freaking good. I shall try that next time. My issue was getting through the initial shield wall. But if Lynx just makes it so we can hit Argenti that's OP. I imagined it could remove the taunts. But Argenti would still be Weakness protect, so it didn't seem worth to me at the time
I really like firefly’s gameplay but im concerned with hoyo adding more characters that can add weakness to the enemy because it might diminish the value of silver wolf
Yeah it is a bit rough. For the time being they only seem to be on characters that focus on Break Effect/Super Break teams. As they literally NEED the enemy to be weakness broken or they do 0 damage. So in that regard Silverwolf wouldn't be needed much or would at least complement a hole in the team. I still much rather use my Silverwolf in teams that focus on outputting raw damage because of her Def shred
Oh yeah, I remember when SAM was so freaking fast… The story version of SAM was fine since he couldn’t do a lot of damage, but in MoC? He would literally take his turn before my Kafka and Huohuo then immediately act again after Kafka, it was crazy. We don’t technically fight SAM in the story, at least not the Trailblazer. SAM was targeting Black Swan and Acheron, not Trailblazer, so, like you said, it’s possible to fight new bosses with the whole PoV System. We got the Yanqing boss through Dan Heng’s PoV. My favorite boss is probably The Past, The Present, and The Eternal Show because it’s not a boss, it’s made out of three Elites that work together. They could do the same with Kafka and Blade just like how she made Blade use his Mara in the Luofu with her Spirit Whisper ability. This can make an interesting mechanic where Kafka can instantlyforce Blade into the Mara state, empowering his attacks but draining his HP like SAM. Now imagine SAM in Apocalyptic Shadow or even Apocalyptic Shadow Bosses in their Complete version… that would be fun, right? Apocalyptic Shadow is truly a place where the devs can push the limits of what a Boss is, especially that they’re allowing Echo of War bosses in it. I can imagine that they’re going to add the Finality version of Doomsday Beast or even Phantylia. There are so many possibilities!
Yeah, the first time I fought SAM in MoC was awful, on top of his healing reduction Aura being insanely strong, like 80 to 90% was wild. And yeah with the whole PoV system, it enables us to potentially fight ally characters in the future like people from Belobog or even Express Members. I really want Hoyo to release a 4v4 kinda fight, having their own like healer/preservation, DPS, buffer, etc, etc, it would be nice to see how people work around that The new Boss is really well made, Having the literal buffed up Elites as a 3 unit team is insanely well made and they cover each other's passives and abilities perfectly, especially the Sleep one with the DoT one. Having a Kafka + Blade would be sick. Or even a SAM and Blade with SAM making the Aura essentially triggering Blade to do damage to his own health bar and therefore enhancing in combat too, as Firefly and he seem to get along well I fought SAM in complete form, it was an experience I wish to relive, but I am not eager for when the time comes. They cooked so well with that boss fight and made them even more threating, especially when you reach Phase 2, as all the new attacks are fully unknown to all of us. If they bring SAM to apocalyptic shadow I'm gonna shit myself, it will be such a cool fight, but also terrifying. I do hope Hoyo adds Firefly's colors for the Apocalyptic Shadow SAM in a super empowered State. I am so happy the game Devs expanded further and made Apocalyptic shadow, it was a refreshing experience. I thought I was going to be tired doing the same Cocolia and Argenti 4 times in a row. But on the 3rd one they gave us a really nice twist and the 4th was absolutely insane. Argenti caught me off guard with his taunt wall of token units. So I am looking forward to an Apocalyptic Aventurine and SAM. And terrified but hyped for Sleepie to in one too
@@ManCarSua I have a few ideas for what they could be like. For Sleepie, once they captures allies, if the statue stays too long on the field, like 3 turns, the ally captured in that statue will immediately be knocked out. If an ally gets captured multiple times in battle, increase the statue’s health according to the number of captures after the first time (5+2 times the number of captures) While a statue is on the field, Sleepie’s Toughness will be protected. For Aventurine, maybe instead of a normal gamble, he starts a gamble similar to Blackjack. Aventurine will always roll a shown number between 11-13 + a hidden number that’s between 3-6. Allies share a number like in Phase 3 of Aventurine (Complete) and your goal is just to get a higher number than Aventurine without going over 21. Getting a perfect 21 will also delay Aventurine action and increase the damage he receives. Going over 21 will result in an immediate failure. Only two dices will be on the field, a golden and a normal dice. Attacking the golden one will roll a random number while attack the normal one will end the gamble if your confident that you’ll win against Aventurine. Aventurine’s number will be revealed at the end of the gamble. For SAM, he doesn’t have a Toughness bar, instead he will enter the Weakness Broken state when he loses all of his Molten Energy. SAM gains two stacks of Molten Energy everytime he uses “DHGDR: Supernova Combustion.” For every stack of Molten Energy, his damage increases. If SAM reaches 10 stacks of Molten Energy, immediately advance his action by 100%, increase his damage by a large amount, and immediately use “DHGDR: Fire and Cinders” (his ability from his Complete version), then exits Secondary Combustion. These are my current ideas of what they could be, well, difficulty 3 since it seems like they gain the most unique trait on the 3rd difficulty.
I know in Sleepie's current form, for the stages, every time you trigger the dusk fall or something like that, it becomes harder to free your allies, so like instead of having to attack the buds 5 times, it becomes 6, 7, 8 and so on, and they increase his speed so he captures allies. So it makes it that you cannot war of attrition Sleepie or he captures your entire party and then you instantly lose if all 4 characters are captured. I think it would be cool if they implemented something more to increase the attention for apocalyptic shadow though, since that game mode is made for speed, and Sleepie in general feels like was build like an anti defensive comp Also for Aventurine, I know that the new complete version plays like the usual one, but they added a "Gamble" multiplier. So one of the four dice has a x2 makes it so that when it is hit the roll is multiplied. You have to reach up to numbers like 36+ to roll as a party against Aventurine. So if you do not win the wager your entire party is hit. So seeing them expand further in apocalyptic shadow would be sick I love the ideas you mention for SAM, geniunely that is one of the things that I would personally want to see. Having him go to an hyper state would be amazing
Honestly yeah, with all the art people make of them with Caelus and/or Stelle. I can see that being the case. Speaking of that. The art I keep seeing is so goofy and wholesome. I adore it
I wanted it to be a song reference. And I remembered the song Cross my Heart hy Mariana's trench. But I looked it up, when I wrote the safe file, I thought the song was called Break my Heart 🥹🥹 In short I am stoopid and cannot remember music 🥹🥹
Yoo wait, 2nd comment incoming. Boss concept ideas.
Blade: blade's powers of the abundance automatically steal 50% of your healing for himself.
Silver wolf: gives your characters a toughness bar after they've been hit by an abilty and if silver wolf breaks this bar, it does a weakness break on you character.
Boothill : he does a standoff with one of you character ofc and if he deals over 25% of your hp he does a massive hit of dmg. If you deal over 25% dmg you get a permanent weakness efficiency buff.
Dr. ratio : when he starts the fight he will drop one of his taunting statues on you, and when phase 2 starts he makes 5 of these statues that you can atk and the one with the same pose as the statue he dropped is the one you need to atk, if you atk another one he drops a pillar on you, if you hit the right one he gets broken and his actions is fast forwarded.
Jade : signs a contract with one of you allies as an atk. Any buffs that character gets will dmg them and give that buff to jade too.

We could literally have Canonical Fights against Express Members of Allies, if they make us play in the POV of a villain-ish character. Say we play in Luocha POV and have to fight Welt/Himeko
Having Blade doing Lifesteal would be sick, especially given one of his traces is called Shuhu's blessing, who I believe was an emanator of Abundance
Silverwolf would be funny to see that, I like the idea of just her giving you a sort of timer/health bar for her to break. Like her hacking into your system and disabling your character
Boothill: They should really do the concept that they did with Aventurine in his first life. Have him do a move that impairs/stuns all of your party members but 1 at random, forcing a standoff between them. Idk how things would be pushed further or like how they could add like a mini shield mechanic, but it would be epic for Boothill.

OMG Jade having a contract of no harm, like that one enemy, that uses thunders and does like "Whoever uses a skill will be punished" I love that idea so much
Maybe when we get Nihility TB and then we'll fight Blade and we can defeat him by temporarily cutting off the Abundance from him and wear him down.

Having a Kafka + Blade would be sick. Or even a SAM and Blade with SAM making the Aura essentially triggering Blade to do damage to his own health bar and therefore enhancing in combat too, as Firefly and he seem to get along well
I fought SAM in complete form, it was an experience I wish to relive, but I am not eager for when the time comes. They cooked so well with that boss fight and made them even more threating, especially when you reach Phase 2, as all the new attacks are fully unknown to all of us. If they bring SAM to apocalyptic shadow I'm gonna shit myself, it will be such a cool fight, but also terrifying. I do hope Hoyo adds Firefly's colors for the Apocalyptic Shadow SAM in a super empowered State.
I am so happy the game Devs expanded further and made Apocalyptic shadow, it was a refreshing experience. I thought I was going to be tired doing the same Cocolia and Argenti 4 times in a row. But on the 3rd one they gave us a really nice twist and the 4th was absolutely insane. Argenti caught me off guard with his taunt wall of token units. So I am looking forward to an Apocalyptic Aventurine and SAM. And terrified but hyped for Sleepie to in one too
@@ManCarSua I have a few ideas for what they could be like.
For Sleepie, once they captures allies, if the statue stays too long on the field, like 3 turns, the ally captured in that statue will immediately be knocked out. If an ally gets captured multiple times in battle, increase the statue’s health according to the number of captures after the first time (5+2 times the number of captures)
While a statue is on the field, Sleepie’s Toughness will be protected.
For Aventurine, maybe instead of a normal gamble, he starts a gamble similar to Blackjack. Aventurine will always roll a shown number between 11-13 + a hidden number that’s between 3-6. Allies share a number like in Phase 3 of Aventurine (Complete) and your goal is just to get a higher number than Aventurine without going over 21. Getting a perfect 21 will also delay Aventurine action and increase the damage he receives. Going over 21 will result in an immediate failure. Only two dices will be on the field, a golden and a normal dice. Attacking the golden one will roll a random number while attack the normal one will end the gamble if your confident that you’ll win against Aventurine. Aventurine’s number will be revealed at the end of the gamble.
For SAM, he doesn’t have a Toughness bar, instead he will enter the Weakness Broken state when he loses all of his Molten Energy. SAM gains two stacks of Molten Energy everytime he uses “DHGDR: Supernova Combustion.” For every stack of Molten Energy, his damage increases. If SAM reaches 10 stacks of Molten Energy, immediately advance his action by 100%, increase his damage by a large amount, and immediately use “DHGDR: Fire and Cinders” (his ability from his Complete version), then exits Secondary Combustion.
These are my current ideas of what they could be, well, difficulty 3 since it seems like they gain the most unique trait on the 3rd difficulty.
I know in Sleepie's current form, for the stages, every time you trigger the dusk fall or something like that, it becomes harder to free your allies, so like instead of having to attack the buds 5 times, it becomes 6, 7, 8 and so on, and they increase his speed so he captures allies. So it makes it that you cannot war of attrition Sleepie or he captures your entire party and then you instantly lose if all 4 characters are captured. I think it would be cool if they implemented something more to increase the attention for apocalyptic shadow though, since that game mode is made for speed, and Sleepie in general feels like was build like an anti defensive comp
Also for Aventurine, I know that the new complete version plays like the usual one, but they added a "Gamble" multiplier. So one of the four dice has a x2 makes it so that when it is hit the roll is multiplied. You have to reach up to numbers like 36+ to roll as a party against Aventurine. So if you do not win the wager your entire party is hit. So seeing them expand further in apocalyptic shadow would be sick
I love the ideas you mention for SAM, geniunely that is one of the things that I would personally want to see. Having him go to an hyper state would be amazing
Firefly is bisexual
Honestly yeah, with all the art people make of them with Caelus and/or Stelle. I can see that being the case. Speaking of that. The art I keep seeing is so goofy and wholesome. I adore it
also what are the names of your save files 🤔
I wanted it to be a song reference. And I remembered the song Cross my Heart hy Mariana's trench. But I looked it up, when I wrote the safe file, I thought the song was called Break my Heart 🥹🥹
In short I am stoopid and cannot remember music 🥹🥹
