It’s why I love hsr so much right now. The banners are so good and the hsr team balanced them out really well. I’ve never actively felt like I was getting borderline scammed the way genshin does
Really, $500 pocket money is LIFE CHANGING for most of us, and this game can rip that money right out if you're not careful. Watch this video and let Xlice show you how brutal gacha games can really be. Do not fall for FOMO, do not take your friends' advice of pulling.
Probably paid for by his community of fans from twitch/youtube. the re-invested back into the game for content, basically free money you never had, get just 2 new 1 year subs from video will make it back.

I will remember this video when I feel tempted to spend money, thank you for your service. 300 dollars for E0 Silver Wolf really put things in perspective.
My pulls were like a horror movie. I went E6 Silver Wolf and lost every 50/50. Only one early at 40 pulls (lost 50/50) and every other 5 star I had to go to 70 or 80 pulls. Felt so bad I only pulled one copy of her LC (won 75/25) and stopped. It's convinced me to never do that again. I will only do max 80 pulls on future banners and stop whether I win 50/50 or not.
After all the shit in Genshin and ppl instant pull few grands And kids who take parents card to swipe free and out of control Yea they definitely gonna put that there to protect themselves at the bare minimum for legality to show they did warn for gameplay and financial issues
The sadest things about all those people whaling is : most of them not even happy and just complaining to not have a 5* at every 10pulls. Anyway, glad they are there spending so much, so we can enjoy the game longer as f2p and low budget.

I lost my first roll (had 75 pity from failed Jing Yuan banner) to Himeko and then I waited a bit, wanting to save for Luocha, but decided to go in and got SW at 30. This banner has been kinda wild tbh
serval’s pretty nasty due to her eidolons, because she does more dmg to shock, she goes so well with a full lightning team (dot shock team) i actually run her with jing yuan, tingyun and silver wolf (mostly because i use her impaire to get the lightning break)
If it makes you feel any better, I won all 4 50/50s (E1 Seele) on my account but it always took getting to hard pity to get there. Funny thing is, I was trying to lose the 50/50 the second time around. Really wanted Bronya or Welt. Oh well... 300 is not that high a number, right? Not sure why it would make you feel better but... you know. Engagement metrics and algorithms.
I got her without spending money after only 15 warps - I was really fortunate to pull her so early though. But the game does give you some star rail special passes when you log in, and you can save up stellar jades quite quickly if you're careful not to blow them all. (But the rest does come down to luck of the pull obv). But i do wish I could easily throw money away on this game too, it would definitely be easier haha
I am very lucky pulling for Characters in honkai star rail. I basically just got Jing Yuan on his banner a little while ago, then not only did I win my 50/50 on Silver Wolf's banner, I got an early Silver Wolf as well! Just my luck since i barely had any wishes.
SW job dosnt require any Eidolons imo , she just implant the weakness u wish for same as your dps dmg type then uses ult to reduce enemy def allowing your dps to deal massive dmg , SW dosnt even need to deal high dmg she is more of an enabler type... This is how I currently use her anyway with high effect hit rate + break effect...
she's okay, honestly. she can still find a place in some teams, unlike Qiqi who's completely scuffed because of her lack of energy gen, and other healers can perform so much better and provide more utility. but i think as we get better and better erudition characters Himeko will seem less and less valuable as time goes on
@@strix3055 I mean fair enough, but still that is a lot of money. I am not saying he isn’t allowed to spend his money however he wants, just you know curious ig
@@strix3055 tbh i just had this video recommended to me randomly i didn’t notice how big his account is LOL but that makes more sense STILL CRAZY MONEY THO DAMN…
I ended up losing the 50/50 on my main account and got Gepard. He was one of the Standards that I wanted if I were to lose. But I still want SW. Hopefully I can accumulate enough jades to get her before her banner ends. If not, then at least I'm guaranteed for Kafka! (I try to look on the bright side of things when it comes to these gacha games, lol.)
FTP pulled clara on standard banner, then lost 50/50 and pulled her again on SW banner, actually gutted, doubt will get enough jades to get her now, really wanted to try clara, sushang, nat & silver wolf as that would currently be the best team i have, if only you could choose the weakness i would run tingyun instead of one of the physical.
All of my luck is in the standard banner. On the 50 warps one I got Clara, on the limited one I got bailu, on the standard I got gepard and yanqing 3 pulls after each other. I’ve gone three banners without winning anything on the limited banner.
@@harukinatsuyu Hope so, litrally on first level 21 trailblaze mission so still have 2 worlds maybe 30-40 chests, all the puzzles, 3,4,5,6 to open up in SU and first MOC stages. my other account is nameless honor i managed to pull, seele, jing yuan, clara, bronya, himeko, sushang...all but welt, gepard, bailu, yanqing, been lucky on pulls have 4/5 5* LC need a second healer so hoping get luck on loucha as that acc has no content ecept mem of fav which is why need healer to progress.

Generally if you have the gems only pull on units you like and think will benefit your account. Generally just stop at 50/50 unless you really like the unit. MoC clear is a long term investment anyways.

sacrifices has to be made
PepeLa we lost him guys
I Spent $0 on this particular banner and am at E1 Silverwolf. So you’re really unlucky this round , hope your luck comes back for Kafka or Luocha.
i skipped jing yuan, so, my luck was max. 10 draws for silverwolf c0 and 10 draws for her lightcone
You literally got two of silver wolf's light cones in the same ten pull 😭

Is it just me or is himeko the Qiqi of Starrail?
PS: When u spend 1000 Bucks and call it a minimal investment...
Uh no. Himeko is amazing if you actually build her as a breaker with crit damage. Her passive is very powerful.
Himeko is s tier in character design and lore wise. I think she would be a solid sub dps over time, not the best in aoe, but can get the job done
