Thank you! Yea all those SSS ranks I just farmed either cause waifu /meta/or cause had nothing else to farm , so right now I don't have any expedition farmable A ranks.
I wanna say that as a fellow f2p for 4 years now, this is a really impressive account. Just like you, I have some valks I got by accident, and nowadays I just pull for the things I really want the most. And tbh, being f2p is fun, makes you have to try harder for abyss or MA, but most of the time it's really enjoyable. Sad thing is to sometimes skip or not get the character you really wanted, but most of the time you just get them a few patches later. I got AE during 5.5 two years after she came out and it was a blessing to my fire teams. Got moby too during that expa rotation back in anniversary. Seeing that people can still manage to be f2p nowadays when they keep bringing out very important meta wise valks is really nice. Keep it up fellow f2p!
Hey! nice to see another long time f2p player , yea I always got every valk on release except the very early ones like Meme and BR , those I farmed up later on. Luckily enough RL retention is good enough to get the most important set every few months and also get all new valks. The only time I failed was because of HoH whom I wanted to full gear so needed to skip both Aponia and Vill-V , of course got Aponia now only Vill-V left. As for MA and Abyss yea agreed , even as full f2p I find them too easy with the gear I have so RL abyss is too boring and MA needs 3 SSS bosses to be really challenging, the SS boss is being way too boring as well. But I understand this will be a big problem for new players and that's why I wanted a separate division for say 90 and above. But yea good luck to you for whatever you plan to do!
I started a few weeks ago (f2p ofc) Must say this game is very forgiving for a gacha (so far anyway) I got first place in abyss and redlotus from ranks 25-55 And was top 10 for the ranks up till 70 Past level 70 now and i rank top 10% But seeing what a f2p account could accomplish makes me kinda excited
for me i thought this game was such a big scam at the start, i lost my 50/50 on beginners banner to the one i didnt want after 90 pulls and was sad because its more expensive but then i got 3 good 5 stars under 30 pulls !!!
1200-ish days account here to help add a few more points to Count's already extensive and helpful comments. 1. Team Compositions: For New players, you'd want to find, practice, and master 9-12 characters of your choice who you find are both easy & comfortable to use as well as synergize. These girls will help form your base 4 damage types team going forward. 2. Some RARE or 5-star weapons in the FOUNDRY menu can be converted into WEAPON RESONANCE. Likewise, most of the G1-G4 stigmas can be converted into STIGMA RESONANCE. 3. Periodically check & refresh the EXCHANGE SHOP as it sometimes spawns signature weapons & stigmas for your favorite characters (keep in mind those are for OLDER characters) which can be bought with either WEAPON or STIGMA RESONANCE. 4. You can convert those 4 color stones from the UNIVERSAL MIRAGE mode into ETHER FUELS. You can always convert the T1s or T2s stones if you are aiming for the G3 stigmas and lack those ETHER FUELS. 4. Elysian Realm, Abyss, and Events are great source of Crystals for F2P. 5. Elysian Realm Mode. If you wish to avoid malding due to RNG mechanics, stick to Shroud Difficulty (1.5X) as this will net you 280 crystals upon clear. Unless you feel confident in your character and the synergy she has with the current Buff & Debuff rotation, then you're free to push for those higher Difficulties. Progressing thru the mode's story itself is also worthwhile as it gives plenty of rewards and resources to make your future runs easier and faster. 6. Abyss (Q-singularis or Q-manifold). If you wish to avoid malding for high ranks, just try to get the PARTICIPATION REWARD clear. In EXALTED ranks (levels 81+ abyss) we usually only need to clear 3 floors or get 15K score MINIMUM to get the participation rewards. 7. MEMORIAL ARENA. Complete a TOTAL of 4 ATTEMPTS MINIMUM to get the PARTICIPATION REWARD if you wish to avoid rage quiting 😂. 8. Your DAILY MISSIONS tab is also a good way to track your progress and earn 60 crystals daily. 9. ASTERITES. These are your "golden tickets" as of the current version. Collect and save up to 60K of these babies and you can buy skins, weapons, and stigmas from previous events thru the TIME CAPSULE shop when it appears.
As for 1. I'll say that you need to plan what elements you are going to focus on and build one elemental and physical team first , going for any character would be a mistake for example going for VG and building her only to realise she's a very bad fire dps will hurt in long run , so it's important to know what teams to build and work on those. 2 I'll say making foundry weps or stigs for converting them to resonance is not something new players should be advised to do because they already will need around an year to farm the minimum requirement stigmas for different teams from there. 3 I'll say the exchange shop has lost most of its value over time because most of the gear there is not worth getting, unless you already have say AE and want to get ND then that's fine but otherwise nothing else is worth getting. 4 and 4 I have nothing to add 5 I'll say ER abstinence is very easy even with very poor characters, you can look up guides on TH-cam for the character you are trying to use and see how they are building them , there are a bunch of ppl that make extremely budget strats which can guarantee you 500 xtals every week. As for 6 and 7 I'll say Abyss and MA are very important if you want to progress your account faster , and that's why you need to focus on good valks to build , they allow you to deal with these content much better and allow you to rank higher with low effort. Of course for extremely casual it's fine how you play but if you want to improve your account fast you'll need to work with some focus. Also thanks for helping your fellow captains!
@@countdracula7896 Oh no, don't get me wrong. I was not insinuating new players to do all of that cause that would take a long time before they get to our point. But thanks for clarifying my points man. What I need to clarify is that, new players may want to get into the habit of CHECKING OUT all those F2P alternative methods of getting RARE stigmas and weapons (4 & 5-star stigmas and weapons basically) as early as possible so they can start planning for the long term in a sense. Such as which game modes to prioritize, which UNIVERSAL MIRAGE materials to grind for, etc. Cause you and I both know, once you get into the endgame phase, Gacha Crystals and Tickets are as rare as asteroid minerals. Unless you decide to sink cold funds into the game 😂.
@@lukmaanpratomo6866 ah agreed , definitely need to get in the habit of keeping track of all available resources, that makes playing and making decisions much more efficient.
Wow, really good job! ❤ I am jealous! 😅 But I guess this is how my account could have been if I didn't have to create a new account because I lost my main one 😮💨
One question: Bronya, Kiana or Mei. Who are you gonna pull for? You have 3,500 crystals so if you do daily missions, elysian realm, Superstring dimension and memorial arena as often as possible you should reach at least 8,000 Crystals before the next Update.
I have 12k currently right after the update , there's 2.5 patches left so that's more than enough time to get all 3 and some gear on top as well. Also since I'm an EU player Global anniversary should help out with Kiana/Mei , also there's a leak going around for a decently long period saying that one of Mei/Kiana is free , if that's true then that makes the job even easier.
@@countdracula7896 If Mei or Kiana is free that's definitely gonna help, i didn't even hear about that! Btw, as you said the Global Anniversary is coming soon. What happens during Anniversary? Do they give us Crystals or more events so we can get more Crystals? How does it work exactly? I stopped playing for a long time so now that i restarted there are some things i don't remember remember
@@KARIAP They give you a lot of free supply cards, mats for pri, crystals and a S Rank choice but not for the newest S Ranks ofc, and more so Anni is really good :)
I was a genshin player but when my friend recommended me to play honkai i switch side real quick because of how easy and fun to play, No map exploration, Not to grindy, Also its easy to earn crystal unlike the genshin, BEST GAME EVER YATTA!!!
Hii! I just started playing few months ago and seeing a f2p with all those SSS farmable valks is inspiring but also I wish I played earlier so can have all those outfits lmao. Unfortunately I wasted all my begginner crystals bcs I didn't know how the supplies work and I'm starting to understand the game more now. Can I ask you for something? Feel free not reply since it's a long comment lol Did you farm all those "farmable" stigmata like Handel and the new ice G4 or did you pull for them? Do you suggest to farm or pull for stigma? Now that I'm done with the story I'm finding it hard to get crystals do you have any suggestions in general :) ?
Hello! Yes the outfits took a long while to get as many I have rn , as for SSS valks ye I just grinded them out from expeditions and war treasury in case of S ranks and some from spending events like Argent knight. Don't worry about lost xtals , everyone makes mistakes in early stages , I myself did a lot and back then nobody knew the game well enough to guide others as well so that made me cause lot of damage to my account but no worries it can all be fixed with time. As for the G4 stigmas , I farmed all of them except for Willows which I got lucky to get from gacha while pulling for HoR (Herrscher of Reason) Divine Key. But no , I would never recommend pulling for stigmas which are farmable cause those pulls can be better spent elsewhere. As for crystals, the best and consistent sources are doing Elysian Realm at least Abstinence clear every week for 500 crystals and Abyss (since you are new it's called Q-manifold and Q-singularis ) which has 2 resets a week and awards lot of crystals . Memorial arena and dailies also give good amount of crystals but not as much as abyss of course. As for suggestions in general, get someone good at the game to ask your queries to cause it's a very big and complex game and has lot of things to learn , you can maybe look at a guide I made a while ago it should still teach you the basics of game but apart from that you'll need someone to help you with all your basic but quite important queries like the ones you just asked now , the game doesn't help in lot of those regards. Most important thing I'll tell you tho is that make sure you know what you are playing for , is it trying to get some Valkyries ( all in my case ) , is it trying to do good in competitive game modes (abyss and memorial arena) , is it just the story and nothing else , or is it a mix of all (like for me) , also you need to plan based on if you can invest money into BP/Monthly, which if you can then your progress will be lot easier but if not then it's still fine cause look at me I made lot of progress. Whoever you take advice from make sure to clarify to them what your goal with the game is which will help them help you achieve the goal in best way possible. Hope this clarifies your doubts , feel free to ask more if you have any , I'll be happy to help out :)

It's a beautiful game but it's also a long term planning based game, so don't be overwhelmed if you see too much you don't understand or content that's too hard, it'll get better with time , equipment and knowledge. Do join some armada in Discord so that you can find ppl to guide you through your journey. And have a nice time enjoying this beautiful game!
Im an f2p for 300 days now and i can easily get top 3 in agony 3 now, im slowly trying to retain redlotus but my physical and fire teams are horrible xd
Ey Count, I just found your channel by recommendation and is unbelievable that you got everything like this, I'm a veteran honkai player f2p too but I'm far away to be like you 🙂 Noticing that you got 3k crystals, there's some character that you plain to pull with all those gems??
Hey welcome! No need to feel bad lol , being f2p in this game is not easy so feel proud for being one of the few . Also yes as I said in description I wanted to get all chars , so with the 10 pull from 1500 Days reward I got Nun getting incredibly lucky , so was planning to get Vill-V next but unfortunately 6.3 Beta looks more enticing now so maybe will save for that and wait for another rerun of Vill-V
@@HerrscherofThunder. ye by the time we get to 6.3 we'll get all the details of 6.4 along with info about Global Anni , so I'll also be looking forward to what's coming in 6.4. Good luck for whatever you pull!
Yes there was , you could get it from shicksal spending event , I skipped FR Skin to get her skin. I am big Yae simp so I was actually blown away when I saw it as an option and immediately got it when I got enough tokens , now luckily for me in recent griseo spending event FR costume was available so I got that too , so now I have best of both worlds XD. But yes , whenever a skin comes for B-Chip it's extremely likely later on it'll come in Shicksal spending event.
@@mayasroomiscool Yes lol , as far as I remember every B-Chip skin came in Shicksal shop so far except ultra recent ones and some rare exceptions , so definitely if you want that skin keep a look out for Shicksal spending events. Of course some skins come for special costume tokens in time capsule like HoV skin did recently so you can hope to get them from there as well , now of course for that you'll need to collect costume tokens from Shicksal spending event or bingos or something like that but yea.
Welcome to HI3! Hope you like the game, also there will be an engine update next year, I think you'll be really impressed with that. So hang around and have fun!
@@countdracula7896 no I have been playing honkai impact for about 1 year (had to reply the whole game after I lost my account ;)) ), it's just that i can't get the time to play all of their 3 games butttt from all of them hi3rd is literally a God like it have something that you just want to stick around and play more!!!! I really hope it will get more support in future cuz I can't live without this game!!! 😭😭😭
@@0lycm_ oh oof sad to know that you lost your account. But yea don't worry the game isn't going anywhere, it'll have lot of new content coming with Mars story and stuff and new gameplay. Lot of exciting stuff coming up next Feb. Don't be demotivated by fear mongers btw, there's lot of doomposters for new Honkai engine but trust me Dawei knows what he's doing. It'll be awesome when it drops. So have fun till then!
What you are seeing in this video is almost minimum graphics and on a phone, on PC with good graphics it looks much much better. Just look up some videos from a player called Akayuki, you'll see what it is like to play on full settings. On a side note, mihoyo is reworking whole game engine and gameplay in next year Feb, it makes it look very close to Star rail if not better. So there's that. But as of now if you want you can see Akayuki's videos to see how it looks in its full glory.
@@countdracula7896 im at the beginning of the game on pc with max graphics on and the graphics look insanely outdated, still wondering if they get better.. are they doing a engine update to the entire game?
@@midnightbounty7442 Ah ok if you already started playing then yes, early stages and old chars lack good graphics, later stages and chars are much better polished BUT the models and stuff yes they are all rendered on a old engine so it definitely won't look realistic like say HSR, but it will in patch 7.3 where there will be a new engine where the graphics will be on par with modern games. So you need to wait some time if you are looking for better graphics.
Yes definitely! I already got Aponia and only Vill-V left , actually you don't even have to play as long as I did to get them all , I had some insanely shitty rng phases so ended up losing lot of crystals on gears of some valks and even then I could save enough to get every valk that got released. So all it takes is for you to be able to consistently retain RL and get 500 xtals from ER every week which is quite easy with a well invested account of around an year old.
@@countdracula7896 I've only been playing for like 139 days and I'm almost lvl 88 I grind every reset of the abyss, memorial arena, and ER. I just have really bad luck but I aspire to be like your account now in the future.
She's primarily a lightning and fire damage support , so you can make a team with , and Herrscher of truth . She can also be strong imaginary DPS and for that the team would be something like Pardo , Sushang and Herrscher of Truth. Feel free to ask if you have further doubts.
Why no keqing? Just asking since I’m not playing honkai in the time when keqing release and also is the adult bronya good? I pulled for her but idk if I should invest since my ass are so weak
Keqing was event exclusive valk so you could only play her in event stages unlike Asuka. As for SW(Adult Bronya) she's quite good on stuff she deals with but needs full gear and full team and after all that investment she doesn't have lot of coverage so if you are looking for an option with good amount of ice coverage I'll say look at HoH or HoR and keep a keen eye on HoTr (new Bronya in beta who's also a support for fire and lightning while being an ice dps) , all are good options to invest on.
How do you decide which gear to pull for? You seem to have the gear of most meta supports, so I guess SP support gear ate big priority, especially since the valks themselves are farmable, but, what dps gear do you go for?
Very good question, so as you can see my first and foremost priority is getting every new valk , and only after that I think about what my DPS's or supports use. To decide that I see what's the biggest hole in my account, for example back when SnS came her gear Paganini was quite important BUT my HoS had candy mei newt and my SA had full shui which even works on SnS to a decent degree and that said my elemental apart from fire gear was disastrous due to lack of turgenev as with each passing day JST newt was getting worse , so I focused all my efforts on pulling for turg and happily skipped Paga and still no regrets. Now let's ignore that I ended up spending 120 pulls for that cursed set and still didn't get the 2 set so now I finished it recently from BP , but that's the idea , I look at the worst hole in my account and try to fill that. As for DPS gear you can see I don't have most recent valks with full gear , and that's because they don't need more than just their wep and the G4 gears are more than good enough (in case of MPE and HoR their full set is farmable). So the only recent full gear DPS investment I made was HoH who is both a big waifu investment and also a very powerful ice dps investment for long term , she could have worked with willows yes but I saved a lot to full gear her so ended up spending all of it and I'll say it was worth it cause I could retain Nirvana using her with f2p supports. But yes all my planning especially in case of DPS comes down to how important is the dps for my account and if she works with farmable gear . If she satisfies both the criteria then I go for the wep of that valk like I did with PE and use them with f2p gear , for rare ones where obtaining full set is very easy or I like to go for them for waifu reasons, I do that like in case of SpA. But yes as you noted support gear is always the top priority though I'm skipping Ai gear cause she works with Turg and lacking Ai gear wouldn't be that big of an issue. But otherwise I did go for SI gear because she was a massive upgrade to the physical team and even before her I went for HoS gear cause that was also quite important. Hope that answers your question.
@@countdracula7896 Guess I should start having that kind of mentality at some point. Pulling for gear is hella expensive in crystals, and I'm almost at the point where all my teams are in a decent spot, should start saving for just the valks eventually, and then use f2p gear, maybe spend crystals on what I really simp / enjoy. Should be good to do so eventually since I'll have most bases covered for my teams, getting there. Thanks
@@guillaumebergevin601 ye that's the idea , for example my Lightning team I have 3 DPS valks , FR/HoT/IO , all of them use Handel , just one f2p set and 3 valks are covered. These G4 sets are absurdly strong so investing in valk+wep that can make best use of these is good enough, so good luck with that!
Haha no , she's a waifu for me so ever since getting her after a spending event or 2 they started putting her frags in spending event rewards so I used spending events to slowly farm her up , till like SS.2 after that I just overfarmed LE/KMB and salvaged those frags to get gold witch orbs and used those to farm her frags. That's similar to what I did for HoV frags as well cause these days I have way too much AW so no use for that , using that to overfarm KMB/LE and getting HoV frags.
Seriously as 100% f2p you able to clear MA SSS and stay at abyss nirvana? God as f2p i feel like want give up after breakthrough everything hard and superstring sinful already hard and i can't clear it so i just go in hit few monsters and wait to die just to get it reward same with MA i just can clear A sometime fail A😫. Lack of crystal to get their signature weapons and stigma so i just use beginner equipment and this items won't pass anything 😷
Haha thanks , but I'm no god really. All it takes is a bit of planning and some guidance from someone actually good at game to understand the game and mechanics related to the game. It might seem trivial but it's not , a simple change in gear or team can make catastrophic changes to the resulting damage , so you need to get to a point where you know what teams work and what don't and also you need to understand what bosses prefer what kind of teams. Also one important thing to note is in-game recommendations are usually very bad , make sure you ask someone good (can retain RL comfortably) before following anything from there. You seem to be interested in doing good at the game so I suggest you take help from someone to learn the game and slowly get better, don't be demotivated because this game is almost impossible to learn without proper external guidance.
focus on one team at a time, what you need is probably support gears, at one point you might need to save up for support gears than new valks and their respective gears (because they don't release whole new meta you absolutely need in new versions, at least...)
Thanks , as you can see I have over 200m+ coins and a lot of coin bags still left so maxing valks is quite easy for me. It's just a side effect of having disastrous gacha luck which leaves me with not much stuff to raise and also since I've been playing for this long I accumulate too many coins. It's just a matter of time where you also will reach my state , keep up the grind!
I had to go and look back in-game to see what you are talking about XD , we all called her and still call her just Asuka , but yes she's a lovely addition in my account.
wow! good job! I thought you spent a lot in-game since you have so many SSS characters, so in the end it was really nice seeing your a f2p!
Thank you! Yea all those SSS ranks I just farmed either cause waifu /meta/or cause had nothing else to farm , so right now I don't have any expedition farmable A ranks.
@@countdracula7896 Hello there, Count Dracula. It's nice to see someone who is also an F2P who doesn't lie about them being F2P.
I wanna say that as a fellow f2p for 4 years now, this is a really impressive account. Just like you, I have some valks I got by accident, and nowadays I just pull for the things I really want the most. And tbh, being f2p is fun, makes you have to try harder for abyss or MA, but most of the time it's really enjoyable. Sad thing is to sometimes skip or not get the character you really wanted, but most of the time you just get them a few patches later.

Seeing that people can still manage to be f2p nowadays when they keep bringing out very important meta wise valks is really nice. Keep it up fellow f2p!
Hey! nice to see another long time f2p player , yea I always got every valk on release except the very early ones like Meme and BR , those I farmed up later on. Luckily enough RL retention is good enough to get the most important set every few months and also get all new valks. The only time I failed was because of HoH whom I wanted to full gear so needed to skip both Aponia and Vill-V , of course got Aponia now only Vill-V left.
As for MA and Abyss yea agreed , even as full f2p I find them too easy with the gear I have so RL abyss is too boring and MA needs 3 SSS bosses to be really challenging, the SS boss is being way too boring as well. But I understand this will be a big problem for new players and that's why I wanted a separate division for say 90 and above.
But yea good luck to you for whatever you plan to do!
@@countdracula7896 Thx good luck to you too! Hope you get the valks/gears you want in the upcoming versions!

It's really nice to see a real F2P account with 1500-login days.
Thanks! I remember watching your vids for ref back in the day , didn't expect to see you on one of my vids!
Seeing like this encourage me alot when im playing most of the game f2p 😊❤ im amazed that you did it and i know i can also do it too
Good luck!
No way this is pure f2p😭😭 good job btw!
Haha lot is possible with decent planning and consistently playing , and thanks!
I started a few weeks ago (f2p ofc)
Must say this game is very forgiving for a gacha (so far anyway)
I got first place in abyss and redlotus from ranks 25-55
And was top 10 for the ranks up till 70
Past level 70 now and i rank top 10%
But seeing what a f2p account could accomplish makes me kinda excited
Nice , keep up the grind and you'll love your journey.
for me i thought this game was such a big scam at the start, i lost my 50/50 on beginners banner to the one i didnt want
after 90 pulls and was sad because its more expensive
but then i got 3 good 5 stars under 30 pulls !!!
1200-ish days account here to help add a few more points to Count's already extensive and helpful comments.
1. Team Compositions: For New players, you'd want to find, practice, and master 9-12 characters of your choice who you find are both easy & comfortable to use as well as synergize. These girls will help form your base 4 damage types team going forward.
2. Some RARE or 5-star weapons in the FOUNDRY menu can be converted into WEAPON RESONANCE. Likewise, most of the G1-G4 stigmas can be converted into STIGMA RESONANCE.
3. Periodically check & refresh the EXCHANGE SHOP as it sometimes spawns signature weapons & stigmas for your favorite characters (keep in mind those are for OLDER characters) which can be bought with either WEAPON or STIGMA RESONANCE.
4. You can convert those 4 color stones from the UNIVERSAL MIRAGE mode into ETHER FUELS. You can always convert the T1s or T2s stones if you are aiming for the G3 stigmas and lack those ETHER FUELS.
4. Elysian Realm, Abyss, and Events are great source of Crystals for F2P.
5. Elysian Realm Mode. If you wish to avoid malding due to RNG mechanics, stick to Shroud Difficulty (1.5X) as this will net you 280 crystals upon clear. Unless you feel confident in your character and the synergy she has with the current Buff & Debuff rotation, then you're free to push for those higher Difficulties. Progressing thru the mode's story itself is also worthwhile as it gives plenty of rewards and resources to make your future runs easier and faster.
6. Abyss (Q-singularis or Q-manifold). If you wish to avoid malding for high ranks, just try to get the PARTICIPATION REWARD clear. In EXALTED ranks (levels 81+ abyss) we usually only need to clear 3 floors or get 15K score MINIMUM to get the participation rewards.
7. MEMORIAL ARENA. Complete a TOTAL of 4 ATTEMPTS MINIMUM to get the PARTICIPATION REWARD if you wish to avoid rage quiting 😂.
8. Your DAILY MISSIONS tab is also a good way to track your progress and earn 60 crystals daily.
9. ASTERITES. These are your "golden tickets" as of the current version. Collect and save up to 60K of these babies and you can buy skins, weapons, and stigmas from previous events thru the TIME CAPSULE shop when it appears.
As for
1. I'll say that you need to plan what elements you are going to focus on and build one elemental and physical team first , going for any character would be a mistake for example going for VG and building her only to realise she's a very bad fire dps will hurt in long run , so it's important to know what teams to build and work on those.
2 I'll say making foundry weps or stigs for converting them to resonance is not something new players should be advised to do because they already will need around an year to farm the minimum requirement stigmas for different teams from there.
3 I'll say the exchange shop has lost most of its value over time because most of the gear there is not worth getting, unless you already have say AE and want to get ND then that's fine but otherwise nothing else is worth getting.
4 and 4 I have nothing to add
5 I'll say ER abstinence is very easy even with very poor characters, you can look up guides on TH-cam for the character you are trying to use and see how they are building them , there are a bunch of ppl that make extremely budget strats which can guarantee you 500 xtals every week.
As for 6 and 7 I'll say Abyss and MA are very important if you want to progress your account faster , and that's why you need to focus on good valks to build , they allow you to deal with these content much better and allow you to rank higher with low effort.
Of course for extremely casual it's fine how you play but if you want to improve your account fast you'll need to work with some focus.
Also thanks for helping your fellow captains!
@@countdracula7896 Oh no, don't get me wrong. I was not insinuating new players to do all of that cause that would take a long time before they get to our point. But thanks for clarifying my points man.
What I need to clarify is that, new players may want to get into the habit of CHECKING OUT all those F2P alternative methods of getting RARE stigmas and weapons (4 & 5-star stigmas and weapons basically) as early as possible so they can start planning for the long term in a sense. Such as which game modes to prioritize, which UNIVERSAL MIRAGE materials to grind for, etc.
Cause you and I both know, once you get into the endgame phase, Gacha Crystals and Tickets are as rare as asteroid minerals. Unless you decide to sink cold funds into the game 😂.
@@lukmaanpratomo6866 ah agreed , definitely need to get in the habit of keeping track of all available resources, that makes playing and making decisions much more efficient.
Wow. I just started days ago and this inspired me omg
Good luck with your journey!
Wow, really good job! ❤
I am jealous! 😅
But I guess this is how my account could have been if I didn't have to create a new account because I lost my main one 😮💨
Damn sad, hope you can build your new account well!
One question: Bronya, Kiana or Mei.
Who are you gonna pull for? You have 3,500 crystals so if you do daily missions, elysian realm, Superstring dimension and memorial arena as often as possible you should reach at least 8,000 Crystals before the next Update.
I have 12k currently right after the update , there's 2.5 patches left so that's more than enough time to get all 3 and some gear on top as well.
Also since I'm an EU player Global anniversary should help out with Kiana/Mei , also there's a leak going around for a decently long period saying that one of Mei/Kiana is free , if that's true then that makes the job even easier.
@@countdracula7896 If Mei or Kiana is free that's definitely gonna help, i didn't even hear about that! Btw, as you said the Global Anniversary is coming soon. What happens during Anniversary? Do they give us Crystals or more events so we can get more Crystals? How does it work exactly? I stopped playing for a long time so now that i restarted there are some things i don't remember remember
@@KARIAP They give you a lot of free supply cards, mats for pri, crystals and a S Rank choice but not for the newest S Ranks ofc, and more so Anni is really good :)
I was a genshin player but when my friend recommended me to play honkai i switch side real quick because of how easy and fun to play, No map exploration, Not to grindy, Also its easy to earn crystal unlike the genshin, BEST GAME EVER YATTA!!!
Nice to know you enjoy the game! Have fun!
That’s because Genshin is an open world game and rpg game at the same time
Hii! I just started playing few months ago and seeing a f2p with all those SSS farmable valks is inspiring but also I wish I played earlier so can have all those outfits lmao.
Unfortunately I wasted all my begginner crystals bcs I didn't know how the supplies work and I'm starting to understand the game more now.
Can I ask you for something? Feel free not reply since it's a long comment lol
Did you farm all those "farmable" stigmata like Handel and the new ice G4 or did you pull for them? Do you suggest to farm or pull for stigma? Now that I'm done with the story I'm finding it hard to get crystals do you have any suggestions in general :) ?
Hello! Yes the outfits took a long while to get as many I have rn , as for SSS valks ye I just grinded them out from expeditions and war treasury in case of S ranks and some from spending events like Argent knight.
Don't worry about lost xtals , everyone makes mistakes in early stages , I myself did a lot and back then nobody knew the game well enough to guide others as well so that made me cause lot of damage to my account but no worries it can all be fixed with time.
As for the G4 stigmas , I farmed all of them except for Willows which I got lucky to get from gacha while pulling for HoR (Herrscher of Reason) Divine Key. But no , I would never recommend pulling for stigmas which are farmable cause those pulls can be better spent elsewhere.
As for crystals, the best and consistent sources are doing Elysian Realm at least Abstinence clear every week for 500 crystals and Abyss (since you are new it's called Q-manifold and Q-singularis ) which has 2 resets a week and awards lot of crystals . Memorial arena and dailies also give good amount of crystals but not as much as abyss of course.
As for suggestions in general, get someone good at the game to ask your queries to cause it's a very big and complex game and has lot of things to learn , you can maybe look at a guide I made a while ago it should still teach you the basics of game but apart from that you'll need someone to help you with all your basic but quite important queries like the ones you just asked now , the game doesn't help in lot of those regards.
Most important thing I'll tell you tho is that make sure you know what you are playing for , is it trying to get some Valkyries ( all in my case ) , is it trying to do good in competitive game modes (abyss and memorial arena) , is it just the story and nothing else , or is it a mix of all (like for me) , also you need to plan based on if you can invest money into BP/Monthly, which if you can then your progress will be lot easier but if not then it's still fine cause look at me I made lot of progress.
Whoever you take advice from make sure to clarify to them what your goal with the game is which will help them help you achieve the goal in best way possible.
Hope this clarifies your doubts , feel free to ask more if you have any , I'll be happy to help out :)
1200-ish days account here to help add a few more points to Count's already extensive and helpful comment.
1. Team Compositions: For New players, you'd want to find, practice, and master 9-12 characters of your choice who you find are both easy & comfortable to use as well as synergize. These girls will help form your base 4 damage types team going forward.
2. Some RARE or 5-star weapons in the FOUNDRY menu can be converted into WEAPON RESONANCE. Likewise, most of the G1-G4 stigmas can be converted into STIGMA RESONANCE.
3. Periodically check & refresh the EXCHANGE SHOP as it sometimes spawns signature weapons & stigmas for your favorite characters (keep in mind those are for OLDER characters) which can be bought with either WEAPON or STIGMA RESONANCE.
4. You can convert those 4 color stones from the UNIVERSAL MIRAGE mode into ETHER FUELS. You can always convert the T1s or T2s stones if you are aiming for the G3 stigmas and lack those ETHER FUELS.
4. Elysian Realm, Abyss, and Events are great source of Crystals for F2P.
5. Elysian Realm Mode. If you wish to avoid malding due to RNG mechanics, stick to Shroud Difficulty (1.5X) as this will net you 280 crystals upon clear. Unless you feel confident in your character and the synergy she has with the current Buff & Debuff rotation, then you're free to push for those higher Difficulties. Progressing thru the mode's story itself is also worthwhile as it gives plenty of rewards and resources to make your future runs easier and faster.
6. Abyss (Q-singularis or Q-manifold). If you wish to avoid malding for high ranks, just try to get the PARTICIPATION REWARD clear. In EXALTED ranks (levels 81+ abyss) we usually only need to clear 3 floors to get the participation rewards.
7. MEMORIAL ARENA. Complete a TOTAL of 4 ATTEMPTS MINIMUM to get the PARTICIPATION REWARD if you wish to avoid rage quiting 😂.
8. Your DAILY MISSIONS tab is also a good way to track your progress and earn 60 crystals daily.
9. ASTERITES. These are your "golden tickets" as of the current version. Collect and save up to 60K of these babies and you can buy skins, weapons, and stigmas from previous events thru the TIME CAPSULE shop when it appears.
I just started playing honkai impact today!
It's a beautiful game but it's also a long term planning based game, so don't be overwhelmed if you see too much you don't understand or content that's too hard, it'll get better with time , equipment and knowledge. Do join some armada in Discord so that you can find ppl to guide you through your journey. And have a nice time enjoying this beautiful game!
@@countdracula7896 ooo, I can’t wait to get more experienced!
@@Jamberried welcome to the community, have fun!
Im an f2p for 300 days now and i can easily get top 3 in agony 3 now, im slowly trying to retain redlotus but my physical and fire teams are horrible xd
Good job , keep up the grind! Eventually you'll get to the place of RL /Nirvana hop where I'm at right now.
Ey Count, I just found your channel by recommendation and is unbelievable that you got everything like this, I'm a veteran honkai player f2p too but I'm far away to be like you 🙂
Noticing that you got 3k crystals, there's some character that you plain to pull with all those gems??
Hey welcome! No need to feel bad lol , being f2p in this game is not easy so feel proud for being one of the few .
Also yes as I said in description I wanted to get all chars , so with the 10 pull from 1500 Days reward I got Nun getting incredibly lucky , so was planning to get Vill-V next but unfortunately 6.3 Beta looks more enticing now so maybe will save for that and wait for another rerun of Vill-V
@@countdracula7896 that's nice! I will probably wait for the new Kiana and New Mei
@@HerrscherofThunder. ye by the time we get to 6.3 we'll get all the details of 6.4 along with info about Global Anni , so I'll also be looking forward to what's coming in 6.4. Good luck for whatever you pull!
Question, how did you get the yae kasumi skin for DJ? I thought it was b-chips... but was there another way to get it? I'm confused
Yes there was , you could get it from shicksal spending event , I skipped FR Skin to get her skin.
I am big Yae simp so I was actually blown away when I saw it as an option and immediately got it when I got enough tokens , now luckily for me in recent griseo spending event FR costume was available so I got that too , so now I have best of both worlds XD.
But yes , whenever a skin comes for B-Chip it's extremely likely later on it'll come in Shicksal spending event.
@@countdracula7896 oh so basically you can get all premium skins for free?? How did I not know that I'm so dumb lol
@@mayasroomiscool Yes lol , as far as I remember every B-Chip skin came in Shicksal shop so far except ultra recent ones and some rare exceptions , so definitely if you want that skin keep a look out for Shicksal spending events.
Of course some skins come for special costume tokens in time capsule like HoV skin did recently so you can hope to get them from there as well , now of course for that you'll need to collect costume tokens from Shicksal spending event or bingos or something like that but yea.
i regret playing genshin and not honkai impact 3rd :(((( now genshin is finally ded and i can finally play hi3rd
Welcome to HI3! Hope you like the game, also there will be an engine update next year, I think you'll be really impressed with that. So hang around and have fun!
@@countdracula7896 no I have been playing honkai impact for about 1 year (had to reply the whole game after I lost my account ;)) ), it's just that i can't get the time to play all of their 3 games butttt from all of them hi3rd is literally a God like it have something that you just want to stick around and play more!!!! I really hope it will get more support in future cuz I can't live without this game!!! 😭😭😭
@@0lycm_ oh oof sad to know that you lost your account. But yea don't worry the game isn't going anywhere, it'll have lot of new content coming with Mars story and stuff and new gameplay. Lot of exciting stuff coming up next Feb. Don't be demotivated by fear mongers btw, there's lot of doomposters for new Honkai engine but trust me Dawei knows what he's doing. It'll be awesome when it drops. So have fun till then!
question, does this games graphics get better later on?
What you are seeing in this video is almost minimum graphics and on a phone, on PC with good graphics it looks much much better.
Just look up some videos from a player called Akayuki, you'll see what it is like to play on full settings.
On a side note, mihoyo is reworking whole game engine and gameplay in next year Feb, it makes it look very close to Star rail if not better. So there's that. But as of now if you want you can see Akayuki's videos to see how it looks in its full glory.
@@countdracula7896 im at the beginning of the game on pc with max graphics on and the graphics look insanely outdated, still wondering if they get better.. are they doing a engine update to the entire game?
@@midnightbounty7442 Ah ok if you already started playing then yes, early stages and old chars lack good graphics, later stages and chars are much better polished BUT the models and stuff yes they are all rendered on a old engine so it definitely won't look realistic like say HSR, but it will in patch 7.3 where there will be a new engine where the graphics will be on par with modern games. So you need to wait some time if you are looking for better graphics.
that means i have a chance to have many characters
You have a chance to have every character if you are persistent enough! Good luck!
@@countdracula7896 thank you
This shows me its very possible to get all characters just with a little patience
Yes definitely! I already got Aponia and only Vill-V left , actually you don't even have to play as long as I did to get them all , I had some insanely shitty rng phases so ended up losing lot of crystals on gears of some valks and even then I could save enough to get every valk that got released. So all it takes is for you to be able to consistently retain RL and get 500 xtals from ER every week which is quite easy with a well invested account of around an year old.
@@countdracula7896 I've only been playing for like 139 days and I'm almost lvl 88 I grind every reset of the abyss, memorial arena, and ER. I just have really bad luck but I aspire to be like your account now in the future.
@@xiao_be_loved Ayy nice , keep up the grind and good luck! With enough time as you can see even bad luck doesn't matter to build a good account.
What units go well with bronya Herrscher of Truth
She's primarily a lightning and fire damage support , so you can make a team with , and Herrscher of truth . She can also be strong imaginary DPS and for that the team would be something like Pardo , Sushang and Herrscher of Truth.
Feel free to ask if you have further doubts.
Why no keqing? Just asking since I’m not playing honkai in the time when keqing release and also is the adult bronya good? I pulled for her but idk if I should invest since my ass are so weak
Keqing is collab exclusive and you can never pull/farm her. And for adult bronya she isn't that good anymore. Best if you invest in other characters.
Keqing was event exclusive valk so you could only play her in event stages unlike Asuka. As for SW(Adult Bronya) she's quite good on stuff she deals with but needs full gear and full team and after all that investment she doesn't have lot of coverage so if you are looking for an option with good amount of ice coverage I'll say look at HoH or HoR and keep a keen eye on HoTr (new Bronya in beta who's also a support for fire and lightning while being an ice dps) , all are good options to invest on.
How u have 200mln coins…
When you have trash luck in gacha it's normal for someone that played this long XD.
"GMT +1" so EU right?
I think I've seen your name before in abyss xD.
Next time, intense f2p battle 😂
Yep EU , will be looking forward to our encounter!
How do you decide which gear to pull for? You seem to have the gear of most meta supports, so I guess SP support gear ate big priority, especially since the valks themselves are farmable, but, what dps gear do you go for?
Very good question, so as you can see my first and foremost priority is getting every new valk , and only after that I think about what my DPS's or supports use. To decide that I see what's the biggest hole in my account, for example back when SnS came her gear Paganini was quite important BUT my HoS had candy mei newt and my SA had full shui which even works on SnS to a decent degree and that said my elemental apart from fire gear was disastrous due to lack of turgenev as with each passing day JST newt was getting worse , so I focused all my efforts on pulling for turg and happily skipped Paga and still no regrets.
Now let's ignore that I ended up spending 120 pulls for that cursed set and still didn't get the 2 set so now I finished it recently from BP , but that's the idea , I look at the worst hole in my account and try to fill that.
As for DPS gear you can see I don't have most recent valks with full gear , and that's because they don't need more than just their wep and the G4 gears are more than good enough (in case of MPE and HoR their full set is farmable). So the only recent full gear DPS investment I made was HoH who is both a big waifu investment and also a very powerful ice dps investment for long term , she could have worked with willows yes but I saved a lot to full gear her so ended up spending all of it and I'll say it was worth it cause I could retain Nirvana using her with f2p supports.
But yes all my planning especially in case of DPS comes down to how important is the dps for my account and if she works with farmable gear . If she satisfies both the criteria then I go for the wep of that valk like I did with PE and use them with f2p gear , for rare ones where obtaining full set is very easy or I like to go for them for waifu reasons, I do that like in case of SpA.
But yes as you noted support gear is always the top priority though I'm skipping Ai gear cause she works with Turg and lacking Ai gear wouldn't be that big of an issue. But otherwise I did go for SI gear because she was a massive upgrade to the physical team and even before her I went for HoS gear cause that was also quite important.
Hope that answers your question.
@@countdracula7896 Guess I should start having that kind of mentality at some point. Pulling for gear is hella expensive in crystals, and I'm almost at the point where all my teams are in a decent spot, should start saving for just the valks eventually, and then use f2p gear, maybe spend crystals on what I really simp / enjoy. Should be good to do so eventually since I'll have most bases covered for my teams, getting there. Thanks
@@guillaumebergevin601 ye that's the idea , for example my Lightning team I have 3 DPS valks , FR/HoT/IO , all of them use Handel , just one f2p set and 3 valks are covered. These G4 sets are absurdly strong so investing in valk+wep that can make best use of these is good enough, so good luck with that!
is it worth crafting g2 stigmata or should i directly farm g3
If you are going to make the G2 for using it as crafting mat for G3 then no it's not worth , craft G3 directly , it's much more efficient.
@@countdracula7896 kk ty
SSS AKA and still f2p? Did you get her many times in Dorm supply? XD
Haha no , she's a waifu for me so ever since getting her after a spending event or 2 they started putting her frags in spending event rewards so I used spending events to slowly farm her up , till like SS.2 after that I just overfarmed LE/KMB and salvaged those frags to get gold witch orbs and used those to farm her frags. That's similar to what I did for HoV frags as well cause these days I have way too much AW so no use for that , using that to overfarm KMB/LE and getting HoV frags.
Seriously as 100% f2p you able to clear MA SSS and stay at abyss nirvana? God as f2p i feel like want give up after breakthrough everything hard and superstring sinful already hard and i can't clear it so i just go in hit few monsters and wait to die just to get it reward same with MA i just can clear A sometime fail A😫.
Lack of crystal to get their signature weapons and stigma so i just use beginner equipment and this items won't pass anything 😷
Haha thanks , but I'm no god really. All it takes is a bit of planning and some guidance from someone actually good at game to understand the game and mechanics related to the game.
It might seem trivial but it's not , a simple change in gear or team can make catastrophic changes to the resulting damage , so you need to get to a point where you know what teams work and what don't and also you need to understand what bosses prefer what kind of teams. Also one important thing to note is in-game recommendations are usually very bad , make sure you ask someone good (can retain RL comfortably) before following anything from there.
You seem to be interested in doing good at the game so I suggest you take help from someone to learn the game and slowly get better, don't be demotivated because this game is almost impossible to learn without proper external guidance.
focus on one team at a time, what you need is probably support gears, at one point you might need to save up for support gears than new valks and their respective gears (because they don't release whole new meta you absolutely need in new versions, at least...)
Heyyy its your acc is so impressive i wanted to ask you how do you manage to lvl up all of your valks? Im having a hard time with that😅😅
Thanks , as you can see I have over 200m+ coins and a lot of coin bags still left so maxing valks is quite easy for me. It's just a side effect of having disastrous gacha luck which leaves me with not much stuff to raise and also since I've been playing for this long I accumulate too many coins. It's just a matter of time where you also will reach my state , keep up the grind!
Tell me that u don't touch grass without telling me
If you think this is not touching grass then you should see my 1800 days video XD.

I only have 2 f2p ones both at 4* sorry forgot to show 😅
Even my P2W sis don't have that much 😂
