These animated shorts made me even MORE EXCITED to continue playing!!! Here is a link to the Character Trailer Reaction th-cam.com/video/FLgmngWpSco/w-d-xo.html
When you play again, I recommend starting with the English dub/ voice acting. In my opinion it's the best dub for showcasing the characters personalities!
@@DumbassNEET yeaaa I love watching them in English dub, it's easier for me to understand! reading while trying to keep up with the animation is hard haha I do that when watching anime in sub sometimes, and imo it doesn't feel as good as watching in dub
So Star Rail doesn’t have seasonal events and festivals like the Lantern Rite. Instead, every patch has had either a main story quest or a “continuance” quest (except for 1.1) that has depicted the adventures of the main cast. In return, all of these major quests (and the main event of the patch) are permanent! So no worries about missing crucial characterization like can happen in other gacha games.
ohhhh I see!! it's so good that I get to experience all the events everyone else has experienced very true, it's not in genshin impact or ZZZero, once the events are gone, they are gone for good I'M HAPPY I GET TO DO THEM IN HSR
@@8-bitSprinklesOh, and as for your questions as to what the Dan Heng is at the end, Star Rail works more similar to Honkai Impact 3rd, where characters can have different versions beyond just the main version. 5-star alternates have to be pulled for, but any 4-star alternates are given as part of the story, and they are actually good, meta units!
@@Inika104 whoaaa I see! I don't know anything about HI3 but this is really interesting and shocking to me haha can't wait to experience it for myself while doing the stories
@@8-bitSprinkles I will say that ZZZ seems like they're going to do permanent events as well. It mentions on the Overlord's Feast event that it will be available as a permanent thing in the future. I thing the area to do old events just hasn't been added yet since that event will be our first permanent one
1:02:28 As you can see here, your flying ticket has a clear afterimage, which is an indicator of a 5-star character. You can predict it this way. If there is no afterimage, then it is just a 4-star. And congrats with Rappa :)
OHHHHH omg that is so hard to spot LOL I couldn't have figured it out on my own not in a million years lol I had to repeat that part a few times and compare it to the ones where I didn't get a 5* to see the difference Thank youuuuuuu!! I'm SO HAPPY that I got her
@@8-bitSprinkles Yeah, when I started playing this game I would never have noticed it myself if others had not pointed it out. Just passing on some wisdom
25:32 the white haired girl(black swan) can see the memories, she is trying to find out what the other girl did. I watched most of video before playing the game so I had no idea what's going on in these videos. But after playing the story you will understand most of the stuff.
SEEEEEE I thought she had something to do with memories!! it was like she was reading the dark haired girl I can't wait to understand more about the game and the stories because I feel like I'm getting everything wrong LOL
I am happy that you enjoyed it. HSR usually went full Gas with their marketing and sponsors when big patch like 1.0 & 2.0 arrive or if there's a BIG character coming. You can see their insane budget through their promotion materials like trailers even compared to the other game they made. I believe you picked the right time to play the game since 3.0 is coming around January. But even if you didn't get sponsored, the views gonna flood in like crazy.
yeaaa some said that too!! I think I got lucky coming at this time and when Rappa just got released she is OP they say and some others said that at 3.0 we will get a free 5 stars!! I really love the game so much, it's sad that I didn't get into it sooner XD but it's ok better late than never hahaha I'm focusing on catching up to everyone in the game so when 3.0 hits, hopefully I can be ready Thank you for your kind words!!
@@8-bitSprinkles Eh I'm afraid Rappa is by no means OP :/ she's incredibly good against imaginary weak enemies but otherwise she's uhhh yeah not great. Especially since she has no way to implant weaknesses ;n;
Yea, aventurine is a super good unit. His shields have almost always uptime, minus super hard hitting moves. Plus, he applies shields at the start of battle. This matters when enemies are a bit fast, or given priority. Some stuff mentioned locked until higher level. While not required, getting a dupe of him will allow him more shield chances. You gonna love when you finally see him in story. Though that is still some ways away.
For context the firefly units are made becoz they needed to Those bugs / swarms are all consuming bugs they ate planets like Cheetos😂 so if they didn't fight the universe would have been consumed The planet Glammoth sacrificed and faught in the front line so I won't really fault them yes the experiment is questionable but that's all they can do And the empress not really just used them since those are all her clones so she is the actual test subject from where they are all made from
@@8-bitSprinkles i wanted to type something but i forgot how to say it in english so i will say it in french 😂😅 : La chose la plus questionable de l'expérience est à mon sens que les scientifiques ont d'une manière que j'ai oublié, fait en sorte que les soldats (expérimentations) avaient une durée de vie limitée (ça se voit avec les marques apparaissant sur firefly dans son trailer) et en plus que si ils y en a qui se rebelle, ils meurt. (comme si c'était codé dans leur adn) La "majesté" c'était d'ailleurs rebeller contre leurs créateurs (si ma mémoire me fait pas défaut) I hope Google Translate will do well it's job 😅😂
In Rondo Black Swan(white haired) is a Memokeeper which can look into memories. She wanted to confirm if Acheron killed Duke and then she sees her power. Which was so powerful and terrible that just the memory of it almost killed Swan and Acheron didn't notice this
So I was close lol Even in her trailer, she talks about memories past present and future, so I figured she has something to do with all that. Thank you for the info
Among Iron Cavalry long hair like Firefly`s is a sign of veterancy so in her short she as an old veteran sees as young and fresh newbie just died before her
15:21 Now that I think about it, it would be great for Sprinkles to make an outfit based on Sparkle because you guys look a lot alike and it wouldn't change your hair that much LOL
19:00 The cool thing about this short is the play is talking about a certain two characters who are watching it and their actions towards the little accident the actors have is representing and adding context to the play itself. You might want to come back to these trailers once you're caught up with the story in-game because you'll get a lot more meaning out of them. Great reactions and good to know they're getting you hyped up for the game!
ohhh I really don't get it much lol, yes you are right I should come back to them because I can't understand some of what's happening or misunderstanding what's happening haha Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it
49:13 they both general.. it's like they're general on their own Xianzhou(Country) and you will unlock one of all xianzhou after jarilo IV and meet the guy.. P.s There are Seven Xianzhou.. and the General lead their own Xianzhou.. the girl just visiting this Xianzhou to attend the meeting with the guy (other general)
You're so cute! I love your voice and reactions! btw, congratulations on 1K subscribers and for pulling Rappa! I can't wait for your game reactions and myriad celestrial trailer reactions.
41:17 Is not really for their magesty, it was to protect their world (Glamoth), and even the universe, the swarm was destroying everything they were created with a honorary purpose... The irony is that their planet was destroyed even before the swarm came for them
ohhh I see, I can't wait to get to that part of the story to understand more! it seems like I didn't get what was going on there other than that it was SUPER SAD
Just like in HI3rd, characters can have multiple pullable forms. Notably Dan Heng, he has a 4* varient but has a 5* varient that must be pulled through his banner. Another would be March 7th and MC. Despite getting multiple forms, they're completely free and come from playing the story. They're also really good, March 7th is performing well in follow up teams, and MC (their harmony version (support)) is insane for Break/super break teams (think of bloom teams where they require lottle investment for lots of damage).
Whoaaa I see now!! That's really crazy, I've never seen this before (4star-5star variants) Yeaaa, since I have Rappa, I was told I need harmony MC! I like that they are free haha Thank you for the info that was helpful
You should watch the Honkai Impact animated shorts, you will fall in love and you will probably shed tears too, they are amazing and the concerts definitely make you cry.
I do plan to watch Honkai Impact 3rd animated shorts too!! but first I have to finish up with HSR haha I'm sure I'm gonna love them too I watched some lore videos for HI3 to understand the story and it's so captivating!! Thank you for the suggestion
Yeah~🎉😂 if you don't care about lore spoiler "Myraid trailer" is there ,but I know... you want to enjoy story by yourself then I waiting for next your playing
@@AungitMiniArtist OMG THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHHH I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!! I do plan on also reacting to Myraid Celestia buttttt first I'm working on part 2 gameplay!! Thank youuuuuu again!! for the support
58:00 the indication for a 5 star is if you look at the flying ticket and it feels like you are having a seizure or it has a rainbowflare with a different track and if you didn't see the ticket thing the door will turn gold instead of purple
Finally got to binge watch your reaction! I can't wait for you to reach penacony and learn more about Aventurine, he's such a good character and a good chunk of the story involves him so you'll can definitely look forward to learning more about him!!! ＼(^o^)／ And if you think you needed tissues watching these trailers, just wait for some of the actual stories🥲 Glad you got Rappa btw, I kinda wanna wish for Aventurine but I'm staying strong for Sunday (a character you'll eventually meet) next patch!!! Hope you're able to get him though :)
I can't wait tooooo! I am really looking forward to his part of the story, those trailers were toooooo shorttttttt lol yeaaa many many boxes of tissues for the story thank you so much!! and good luck on your pulls!! hope you win!
8:13 (Spoiler for your question) The guy on the right is Yingxing (Blade former name) and the girl is Baiheng. You will see Blade in the Luofu :). Jingliu as a quest in the luofu that help you understand better what happened between them all 👌.
47:47 So... his story is that he's a doctor, but! In the game he is considered a Debuffer, as he is a cook He is the character with the most controversial mechanics in the entire game's history.
Congrats!!!! You won the 50/50 I said that you will win the 50/50 Manifested it In the gacha, you can see the ticket will have the shadow things when you get five star. Not going to say much, because im scared that I will spoil you haha. Waiting for your next playthrough with Rappa
THANK YOUUUUUU YESSSSS you did say that omg LOL wish me luck for my Aventurine pulls too lol your wishes make me lucky hahaha yesss that after image, lol it's so hidden, someone just pointed it out to me, I had to replay the same part so many times to see it haha yessss!! I already recorded half of the next gameplay without Rappa but I will have her there in the second half
@@8-bitSprinkles You definitely will get Aventurine tooo I'm going to pull him too so let's hope that we both get it Ahh okayyy I'm excited to see the next playthrough!!
@@8-bitSprinkles я тоже буду Авантюрина выбивать ) а Фуга идёт для команд с пробитием, вроде Раппы, Светлячка и Бутхила, к тому же эта лисица очень красива
1:03:45 No way!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations on Rappa Sprinkles, it will be very useful to you at the beginning of the game and I'm glad you won the 50/50!!!! I already got mine yesterday and I'm already building it lol
whoaaaaa congratssssss I'm happy for you yesssssss thank you so muchhhh haha I'm so happy I have Rappa now, I also levelled her up to 20 hahaha and gave her a 4 star lightcone what lightcone do you use on her? her signature? I still don't know what to do with her skills, what to level up haha I need to check some guides I will start using her in my gameplay
@8-bitSprinkles If you want and can, you can try her signature cone as it gives you a good start in putting together the build and if you need help with the build, my recommendation is All tracks at maximum but they are equally worth leveling up one in each and focusing more on her basic Atk Her outfit is Iron Cavalry of Glamoth And the ornament is Talia But just like in Genshin Impact, you can't farm clothes without unlocking the 5-star drop. If you have any questions, you can ask and I will always help you!!!
Thank youuu that is helpful!! I'm not sure if I can do the LC I want to save up for Aventurine lol I guess I will see before she is gone how many Stellar Jades I have farmed, I certainly don't want to top-up again to get the LC thank you for helping me, I will follow your instructions!! I will not farm the relics of course it's too soon haha I just wanted to know about her skills/talents/tracks I forgot what they are called in HSR I see all are equally important! got it 👍 thank youuuuuu very much!
@8-bitSprinkles Aventurine is the best defense character in the game and he would be very interesting for you, but he won't be a good match for Rappa in the future. But the cone that you can use in Rappa is the one that is in the cone gacha now "when harmony dissipates" it is 4 stars a single copy already helps to improve Rappa if not use it for now "make the world cry out" Also 4 stars
I guess I could try a few pulls if the weapon I need is a 4 star! I will take note of the ones you mentioned I am using "The Seriousness of Breakfast" Thank you for your help!
16:44 Just to let you know, those two are Gunaifen/Lil Gui (Orange hair) & Sushang (Brown hair), they're 2 of the most Beloved 4* in HSR, they're best friends!
@8-bitSprinkles Your welcome! Also, in case you didn't know, the VA's of this game have multiple HSR music covers if you'd like to react on it, it's amazing! I'm sure you'll enjoy them!
@@8-bitSprinkles Oh one more thing, there will be small spoiler cutscenes in the Music Video that might hinder your gameplay experience so just a little spoiler alert
Thanks for letting me know some people also recommended the concert but I should do it after I catch up with the story because of the spoilers xD maybe I will do the same with the music videos you mentioned!!
ohhh the music is different? I will check that out 😲 yea the blur (after image effect) someone pointed it out, it's crazy how well hidden it is XD haha Thank you for the info!!
hahaha I think I still didn't understand what was going on XD I think the one that got spoiled for me the most was Dan Heng, and his banner is now here and he is 5 stars LOL I'm too slow sometimes lol
Yes haha his banner is coming so the cat is already out of the bag But those 5 characters in the trailers are the most and best part of the 2nd planet do look forward to their story 😍 Jing Yuan / cy yu Jing Liu / amalee are my favorite honkai star rail duo/vtubers xD@@8-bitSprinkles
34:46 the only thing I can say is that you will see the story of xianzhou/her story as soon as it ends in belobog/Jarilo 6 and I don't want to give spoilers, but all the characters are very fun to understand the story
I didn't realise this was such a recent upload, i always enjoy people watching the starrail animations, it definitely makes you want to find out more about the characters Sometimes there are things you only fully recognise from watching other things or experiencing the game but mostly you can draw your own conclusions from the visuals Rondo across countless Kalpas is my favourite animated short, you were basically right about the symbolism, the one who initiated the dance (Black swan) was trying to get into the other girls (Acheron) head and figure out her memories but upon actually getting to see her memories she finds it is much darker than she expected and suddenly the tides turn, where once she felt like she was leading the dance she is suddenly no longer in control and is in danger of being consumed by the darkness as others have, she realises she has made a grave mistake and drastically underestimated the person she thought she was trying to figure out After watching the full video there are ways to tell if you have a 5* on your pull however it would be easier for you to look up a video for the demonstration of it rather than having it explained, but you can tell as early as the ticket flying in the very first part of the warp animation instead of waiting for the door to show gold
yeaa I got even more excited after watching them I'm trying to speed up the main story to find out more, so many interesting stories!! it was an interesting animation for sure, maybe the only one I almost got right lol yep, others have explained to me, and after repeating the parts a few times I noticed the difference between 5 star and no 5 star it's so hard to spot lol Thank you for your input!
@8-bitSprinkles where are you currently at in the story? I've been playing since March but I've been really taking my time so I wouldn't be surprised if you were already further than me You were right about some others but it's easier to grasp when you have more information of course, if you rewatch them after going through the story other details will probably make sense There's also Myriad Celestial trailers which are much more lore based (and slightly more confusing) but you've probably already been told about them Yeah once you know what to look for it becomes much easier to know what to expect, I was amazed when I first found out about the hints of a 5*
@@rachelthornberry1240 I started about a week ago so I'm really at the start. actually I just finished recording my part 2 gameplay "In the Withering Wintry Night" the first part of Jarilo VI it's very interesting and it seems like things are getting heated now I can't wait to continue!! yea for sure, I will go back to them again once I have finished the story fully! true many have requested the Myriad Celestial, I will get to that soooooon
@8-bitSprinkles Ah I see, I hope you continue to enjoy it, things certainly get interesting. I take my time so I'm only in the world after Jarilo VI despite having almost played for a year, I advise you to do other quests alongside the main before you move on to the next world because you'll only end up getting more once you get to the next world I'm curious who your favourite character is so far (be it one you've pulled or one you've met through the story) I'll keep an eye out for the myriad videos then :3
@@rachelthornberry1240 thank you for the advice! my favourite characters at the momeny are Rappa (I pulled for her) and Aventurine (I plan on pulling for him on the 2nd phase banners) haha I still didn't meet many characters but I like others I saw in the trailers like Sparkle she is interesting haha
Danheng was the first to go from 4 star to 5 star, but the characters are separate from eachother, meaning if you want you can put 4 star and 5 star Dan Heng on the same team. It's predicted soon Herta will get her 5 star form after the recent HSR 2.6 livestream showing her older appearance. The Herta you see in game is only her puppet form which is what she looked like as a kid. March 7th in the future will most likely get her 5 star form once she finds out her true identity.
whoaa I see! that is really interesting 😲 I'm interested to finding out how March 7th will look she is cuteee! I wonder if she will be more mature thank you for the info
21:48 Yes girl with dark hair is extremely powerful and her reran banner is in 2ish weeks. If you are new player its very recomended to save for her. Her name is Acheron.
@@8-bitSprinklesyeah that's the play, getting who you want, good luck with Aventurine pulls! (ps acheron with low investment, so f2p lc and 4* supports isn't amazing or anything)
@@8-bitSprinkles Yeahhhh... Acheron is the unit that relies on her signature 5* lc the most in the entire game (40% dmg increase with it, her f2p lc options suck) So purely from a meta perspective, she isn't worth getting if you can't get her lc as well, and it might be better to save for 3.x units after you get Aventurine since he and Rappa can carry your account^ That said, that's only relevant for the endgame modes, if you don't really care about clearing those then you can just pull for whoever you want and enjoy playing the game your way! (i didn't mean to type so much, you're welcome to ignore everything honestly 😅)
@@kassachi heyyyyyy nooooo type as much as you like, I enjoy having such conversations with everybody and I write a lot too haha no worries Thank you so much for your advice!! I think I misunderstood you the first time, I thought you were saying that she is f2p friendly and doesn't require much investment xD ok I see now! I was told that Fugue is coming in the next patch and she is a good teammate for Rappa too!! I think it's too soon for me to think about end-game content haha I will enjoy playing the game for now as you said haha Thank you so much for taking the time to chat with me
I'd recommend watching the Star Rail Live Concert however it is more emotional (You'll know when you get to the "Rooftop scene" :D) if you finish the Penacony Arc or PEAK-acony!! so try and save it up for future vid idea.
To know when a 5 star is coming, look at ticket when ticket on right of screen you can see 3d hologramic colors Keep looking at ticket, and when ticket on left upper screen you can see the hologramic effect again, and the train music changes a bit Just keep looking at ticket to see the 3d color effect of the ticket, the effect can be seen twice clearly like I said.
yes a few people told me about it lol, it is so hard to spot, I had to repeat the part a few times to figure out what the difference is between 5 stars and no 5 stars I think my volume was quiet or I just wasn't paying attention to the music I didn't notice it at all
Congrats on getting Rappa! One thing, her kit revolves around break damage, which means you need a super break support so she can actually do damage. We only have Harmony Trailblazer so far but they can be unlocked early for free. Since you already played Rappa's trial, I guess you can unlock them already because that was all the spoiler you were going to get so...
ohhh I thought harmony MC is unlocked later! 😲 I just learned the tutorials in the game about break damage, it is the bonus damage that is done when the toughness breaks correct? I hope I understand it correctly lol some people said also that Fugue (a new character that is coming in the future) is a good teammate for Rappa!! I want to get her too Thank you for the infoooo
@@8-bitSprinkles Yes but more recently they added super break dmg, which boosts break dmg a lot. Break characters like Rappa don't do much damage until the enemy is weakness broken. She can turn part of her break dmg into super break dmg on her own, but not nearly as effectively as Harmony Trailblazer's ult. And yeah, Fugue will also be able to do that, I just avoided mentioning in case you didn't know yet. Technically you will unlock Harmony Trailblazer later but you can do so early on the Travel Log. And you might want to because you're still far from unlocking them naturally and from Fugue 😅
ohhh I see I think I understand a bit now Travel log... I just searched it yesssss it says I need to finish Jarilo VI that's really gooooood I can make good use of Rappa early now Thank you so much for telling me this, else I wouldn't have known about it
Harmony MC gets unlocked at the end of the first planet. And until then you really don't need to worry about teamcomps. I'd say character level either 50 or 60 is when you should really narrow it down to one primary team or you'll run out of resources fast (assuming free to play). Then, you can expand from there for the two-team endgame modes if you care for those. Edit: I watched the pulls just now, I guess you can ignore the "free to play" comment.
Hi Sprinkles! I hope you also watch the Honkai Impact 3rd animations/shorts, it's my favorite Hoyoverse game. I'd even help out by making a proper playlist for you to watch them in a chronological order and if you ever start to play the game I'd be sure to be there to watch. ☺️
aww that's so sweet of you thank you so much!! is the playlist on hoyo's channel not good? I plan on reacting to HI3 animated shorts for sure, but I have to finish up with HSR first so it will be delayed I hope you will watch the video though once I make it I actually watched some lore videos about HI3 to understand the story and I'm very interested can't wait to watch the shorts!! Thank you for the suggestion!!
@@8-bitSprinkles Unfortunately the official channel's playlist is jumbled and unorganized, even missing some of them. So usually people just give content creators their own playlist. The only caveat is HI3 only has JP and CN voice so I'll have to make a list based on what you prefer. I've enjoyed all your videos so far so I'm sure I'll enjoy your HI3 videos too, definitely looking forward to it, no rush though you can take your time~ Watching lore videos actually helps with providing a bit of context because there's a bunch of terminologies and events not in the game (manga, web visual novel, etc.) that you won't get right away even when you watch the official shorts.
oh I see! yea right I just remembered that someone already linked a playlist for me, but I'm not sure if it's ordered or not though. they did say that the one on HI3 channel is not good. I will probably use that or if you still want to make one I don't mind I prefer JP voices. I'm happy that you enjoy my videos I look forward to starting HI3 shorts as soon as I can and thank you for the help!!
OMGGG YOU FINALLY JOINED THE GACHA CLUBBBB welcome welcome may you win every single 50/50 and get them all early hahaha I was hooked from day 1 after watching the trailers lol and now even moreeeee
Haha yea I was told that, I kept repeating the 2 parts to see the difference it's so well hidden I wouldn't have known or noticed it on my own lol Thank you for the info
44:00 I'm always moved by this trailer because it was at that point that I really fell in love with the firefly and wanted to take care of her like my daughter, I even have her on my account as E1 and the signature cone for my love for her
CONGRATS ON GETTING RAPPA!! She might have come late but at least she came right I'm just gonna say without spoiling too much that once you get to Penacony you'll unlock a support character that's insanely good for any break character like her~
THANK YOUUUUU!! haha I'm happy I didn't lose are you talking about harmony MC btw? many have mentioned that but someone also said that I can unlock harmony MC early now after finishing Jarilo VI, I searched it and it's true. I can't wait to do give Rappa a good team
Hahaha, now I'm the one giving you new info about HSR yea, I don't know if it is a quest or what, I guess I will find out, lol I really want harmony MC for Rappa
Since you're so early in the story, you must take advance of getting the materials for Rappa, they're unlocked in her banner duration. I'm the character menu you check what you need
oh I was able to make her level 40 I can't go further at the moment until I reach Equilibrium level 2. are you saying when her banner is gone I won't be able to farm her materials? 🥹
Congrats on your Rappa pulls! I haven't played Genshin since Sumaru, but I can tell you HSR feels alot more mature from a character perspective. Some of the stuff you saw was semi spoilerish, but without context I guess its not to bad lol. Which one was your favorite? I got Rappa while I was building pitty, so I don't have the LC either. I'm still building her to see how good she is without it. Normally you can get by without the LC, just note that the LC banner is like 70/30 or 75/25 unlike Genshin. Meaning you have a 3/4 chance to get the actual LC. In alot of cases the Eidolons are alot stronger than getting the LC, but the chance of failure is very high with another 50/50.
Thank you so much ahh I think I see what you mean by mature! yes I think the one that really got spoiled for me was Dan Heng because I noticed his banner and I remembered some comments XD so linking all that together gave it away lol the banner was the main spoiler here LOL that's a tough question!!!! haha I like the ones Aventurine appeared in I'm so interested in his story I see lots of people like the firefly one but I find it super super super saaaad I don't want to be sad or cry but I know there is no running away from that I enjoy funny and cheerful ones more like "Taking It Easy" haha ohh so it's easier to get the lightcone! I don't know if I will try to get her lightcone because I want Aventurine and Fugue!!! people said that I can get the 5 star lightcone from the simulated universe for Rappa, I just have to get the tokens which will take 8 weeks haha I'm using a 4 star LC for now
@@8-bitSprinkles True that's one way to go about it. I have had Adventurine since he launched and I don't regret him at all. He's probably one of the best units in the game atm, and of course he's stylish :D. Not a bad idea to want Fugue either. The main suggestion I've followed since launch is the characters you never want to miss are Harmony, because they are game changers. Alot of people suggest for the free 5 star at 300 pulls on the standard to go for Bronya, since she's one of the best starting buffers. Bronya, Sparkle, and Robin are all game changers because they allow you to turn skip. I'm looking forward to Fugue, because I have alot of teams that could use her. Atm any info on unreleased characters are based on the test servers, and it will be several months through test versions before we have an idea of what her real kit will look like. As for how to tell you get a 5 star, you will see the ticket shimmer rainbow on the right side of the screen and the music while the train comes changes sorta like ZZZ. They aren't so cruel in the game to only give us sad and bitter stories. You will learn more about Firefly in the future. But there is a reason people love her besides just her said backstory.
I actually did the battle tutorials a couple of days ago and I learned that about Bronya! It was so CRAZYYY the enemy had no turn at all I see so Sparkle does the same? Ohhhhh I want her nowwww she is cuteeee Yea many have explained it to me, how to notice a 5stars, it is more hidden than zzz and genshin lol Ohh I see!! I hope she has a happy ending she is so cute she needs to be happy can't wait to learn more about her and everyone else!!!
Grats on the Rappa pull. You already said you're going for Aventurine, but if you don't get him, Lynx is a very reliable healer and easily good enough to use in any content, which I just wanted to point out because you got her E2 already. She gets outclassed by most 5* healers/shielders (and Gallagher) because she doesn't contribute to the fight offensively like they do, but she does perfectly fine at keeping your team alive. Just as a fallback in case the Aventurine pulls go wrong and/or for the 2nd team. Your reactions were fun too and don't worry about not understanding a lot of what's going on in the trailers. Everyone who watches them before playing has that issue, because you'll get a ton of information in the game about the context.
That's really good to know! about Lynx I mean, I guess I could add her on my team as I wait for Aventurine! because I'm dying a lot Thank you for the tips I'm glad that you enjoyed the video!! Haha yeaaaa I can't wait to get to all the stories to understand more and add more context to all these trailers
Yeah Aventurine is rerunning next patch and is not only an interesting character but also the best shielder in the game by far so you can't go wrong by pulling for him. I skipped him when he was released cause I hadn't gotten to his story yet and I'm still regretting it haha. I will get him this time for sure 👍
I wanted Rappa so much!!… but I lost the 50/50… I was very sad… guess I’ll try at her rerun. Good news is that I could get the next character guaranteed (which is Aventurine) if he comes early in the pulls
I hope you don't mind my asking, but your accent is adorable. I can't tell where you're from though, do you mind sharing? I hope you're still enjoying the game, it's one of my all-time favorites at this point
I get asked that A LOT, hahaha well, I live in the UK, and English isn't my first language. the reason why no one can figure out where I'm from is because my accent has developed overtime. where I'm from, people don't speak the way I do now haha and to be honest, I don't even know what my accent is or why is it cute LOL but I'm happy that people find it nice to listen to and yessssssss I'm enjoying the game more than I ever expected haha, it is soooo gooood!!
If you wanna see a little more about aventurine, you have to see "WHITE NIGHT" music video, for me, is easily one of the best music vídeos of hoyoverse Also you could see "A Night of Ever-Flame: Scene 33". Is about the annihilation gang.
whoaaa I just found them on the HSR youtube channel!! I will definitely check them out I plan on reacting to the " Myriad Celestia " trailers in the future!! so I will save it for then! Thank you for the suggestions
@8-bitSprinkles hehe, I was also surprised when I saw a lot of Kiana Kaslana, Himeko, Bronya, etc. in HI3. The funniest thing is that in HI3 you can play as characters who died in the story. I hope that in the future, НSR will be more like HI3, and the writers won't be afraid to make even sadder stories.
Whaaaaaat why even sadder stories too many sad stories are too heartbreaking I want happy endings lol yes I watched HI3 trailers and I just couldn't figure out how that works having different versions of the same character until people explained it to me I only knew genshin, it's the only hoyo game I played for over a year and it doesn't have this stuff
Great reaction video 😁👍 I love the dance rondo short, you just started the game so of course lot's of things don't make sense, but it's ok you will understand Yep the girl "Acheron" coming in 2nd phase is the game strongest one💜acheron main here😉 The girl dances with her is black swan she's so amazing, she's just too pretty I can't get over that😍 The girl in first trailer she's amazing too despite everything she's doing her best🤍her name is Jingliu I think she's the coolest character literally 🤣i like her story a lot As for aventurine you can literally play a whole part about him, so all ur questions about him will be answered, same for most characters so avoid spoilers, tons people can't tell you anything unless they spoil stuff they think telling you spoilers makes them look smarter 🤓 I really want to enjoy the game in ur own way with no spoilers through your own experience 😁 The fast girl is really cute right that's Feixiao 💚 one of my mains too😆she's amazing as you saw with helping people and yeah she's crazy fast ✨I love Feixiao 💚 There's so many people spoiling story related stuff, like aventurine being slave is supposed to be revealed in story, that person who told you that love to spoil things, you should warn people more about anything revealed through the story 🙃 Anyways love your reaction plus congrats on Rappa you won the fifty that's great news i'm happy for you 🎉👏😁 Yeah light cones can wait later, oh and I love how you already simping for characters 🤣 the star rail got you good now you're hooked😌
yeaaa I think the trailers "spoiled" some things but they didn't make so much sense to me! that's why I said no spoilers lol I can't wait to experience all of these stories myself yeaa Feixiao is really cute I like her personality haha can't wait to meet her in-game XD I'm happy there is a big part for Aventurine in the story lol can't wait!! Thank youuuuu haha yes what can I do, I didn't expect to get hooked so fast to be honest XD but the characters, the story, the game in general, everything is so good lol it makes me happy to know that you enjoy my videos thank you again! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
Sparkle got me so bad I E6 her in just 2 banners xD In general their animations are super good 👍🏻 the whole internet went wild from that 5min of Black Swan and Acheron dance scene 🎬 if you like Aventurine he is coming in the second half of this patch together with Acheron also congrats for Rappa I’m skipping her sadly as I character I was waiting for is coming next patch
Sparkle is just so cuteeeeeeee I don't blame you haha I can see why they would go wild it's an interesting animation HAHAHA I loved the animations they are really crazy and hyped me up even moreeee
Wow you really liked the game, to your information, Rappa is a great unit to start the game. Team her up with linx, Gallagher (if you get one) and the Imaginarium trailblazer
@8-bitSprinkles yesss i feel like they referenced from panty and stocking its a pretty good anime has alot of random stuff going on but def not great to watch on stream but will recommend
@@8-bitSprinklesi recommend starting from myriad trailers. hsr youtube have a playlist for that. it has additional lore and whats the future contents gonna be. its safe to watch
you are such a cutie! I love the way you were so happy about things. Unfortunately, you let yourself be spoiled with Firefly... But notwithstanding, another great video from you.
haha you are so nice I can't help it this is how I behave when I'm excited about stuff lol yeaaa but I still think I didn't comprehend the whole situation I still don't understand why they are fighting and for what. I can't wait to see moreeeeeee in the story glad that you enjoyed it!! Thank youuuuu for your kind words
Yea, about the live concert, I was told to save it until after the main story, I think I will do that! As for the Myraid Celestia, I should do it soon. Thank you for the suggestion
34:50 yeah ... sure ... no spoilers ... kinda useless since u watched all the trailers and spoiled nearly all the major things but you do you i guess def not judging u ofcourse, i spoiled some things for myself when i got into it too trailers are meant to be watched... before playing i guess (in this case it is made to be watched at the same time with the game updates)
These animated shorts made me even MORE EXCITED to continue playing!!!
Here is a link to the Character Trailer Reaction
th-cam.com/video/FLgmngWpSco/w-d-xo.html
When you play again, I recommend starting with the English dub/ voice acting. In my opinion it's the best dub for showcasing the characters personalities!
@@DumbassNEET yeaaa I love watching them in English dub, it's easier for me to understand! reading while trying to keep up with the animation is hard haha I do that when watching anime in sub sometimes, and imo it doesn't feel as good as watching in dub
So Star Rail doesn’t have seasonal events and festivals like the Lantern Rite. Instead, every patch has had either a main story quest or a “continuance” quest (except for 1.1) that has depicted the adventures of the main cast. In return, all of these major quests (and the main event of the patch) are permanent! So no worries about missing crucial characterization like can happen in other gacha games.
ohhhh I see!! it's so good that I get to experience all the events everyone else has experienced very true, it's not in genshin impact or ZZZero, once the events are gone, they are gone for good I'M HAPPY I GET TO DO THEM IN HSR
@@8-bitSprinklesOh, and as for your questions as to what the Dan Heng is at the end, Star Rail works more similar to Honkai Impact 3rd, where characters can have different versions beyond just the main version. 5-star alternates have to be pulled for, but any 4-star alternates are given as part of the story, and they are actually good, meta units!
@@Inika104 whoaaa I see! I don't know anything about HI3 but this is really interesting and shocking to me haha can't wait to experience it for myself while doing the stories
speaking of Gaming, his VA voices the male trailblazer
@@8-bitSprinkles I will say that ZZZ seems like they're going to do permanent events as well. It mentions on the Overlord's Feast event that it will be available as a permanent thing in the future. I thing the area to do old events just hasn't been added yet since that event will be our first permanent one
1:02:28 As you can see here, your flying ticket has a clear afterimage, which is an indicator of a 5-star character. You can predict it this way. If there is no afterimage, then it is just a 4-star.
And congrats with Rappa :)
OHHHHH omg that is so hard to spot LOL I couldn't have figured it out on my own not in a million years lol
I had to repeat that part a few times and compare it to the ones where I didn't get a 5* to see the difference
Thank youuuuuuu!! I'm SO HAPPY that I got her
@@8-bitSprinkles Yeah, when I started playing this game I would never have noticed it myself if others had not pointed it out. Just passing on some wisdom
@@Andrew_S1 hahaha thank youuuu
@@8-bitSprinkles yeah the music also changes slightly it's a little more upbeat
@UndeadLromor I didn't notice that at all I was just searching for visual clues lol
25:32 the white haired girl(black swan) can see the memories, she is trying to find out what the other girl did. I watched most of video before playing the game so I had no idea what's going on in these videos. But after playing the story you will understand most of the stuff.
SEEEEEE I thought she had something to do with memories!! it was like she was reading the dark haired girl
I can't wait to understand more about the game and the stories because I feel like I'm getting everything wrong LOL
I am happy that you enjoyed it. HSR usually went full Gas with their marketing and sponsors when big patch like 1.0 & 2.0 arrive or if there's a BIG character coming. You can see their insane budget through their promotion materials like trailers even compared to the other game they made.
I believe you picked the right time to play the game since 3.0 is coming around January. But even if you didn't get sponsored, the views gonna flood in like crazy.
yeaaa some said that too!! I think I got lucky coming at this time and when Rappa just got released she is OP they say and some others said that at 3.0 we will get a free 5 stars!!
I really love the game so much, it's sad that I didn't get into it sooner XD but it's ok better late than never hahaha
I'm focusing on catching up to everyone in the game so when 3.0 hits, hopefully I can be ready
Thank you for your kind words!!
@@8-bitSprinkles Eh I'm afraid Rappa is by no means OP :/ she's incredibly good against imaginary weak enemies but otherwise she's uhhh yeah not great. Especially since she has no way to implant weaknesses ;n;
@owoflux6025 haha I still like her!
@@8-bitSprinkles Absolutely fair
Yea, aventurine is a super good unit. His shields have almost always uptime, minus super hard hitting moves. Plus, he applies shields at the start of battle. This matters when enemies are a bit fast, or given priority. Some stuff mentioned locked until higher level. While not required, getting a dupe of him will allow him more shield chances.
You gonna love when you finally see him in story. Though that is still some ways away.
oh nooo you are making me even more excited to have him and to see him in the story hahaha I need to speed up my story progress lol
More like infinite uptime, in the correct FUA team at least. If not, you just gotta refresh it and boom still infinite uptime xd
For context the firefly units are made becoz they needed to
Those bugs / swarms are all consuming bugs they ate planets like Cheetos😂 so if they didn't fight the universe would have been consumed
The planet Glammoth sacrificed and faught in the front line so I won't really fault them yes the experiment is questionable but that's all they can do
And the empress not really just used them since those are all her clones so she is the actual test subject from where they are all made from
OHHH I see, but they are suffering and dying
it will really be a saaaaaaaad playthrough for me when I get to that part of the story
@@8-bitSprinkles i wanted to type something but i forgot how to say it in english so i will say it in french 😂😅 :
La chose la plus questionable de l'expérience est à mon sens que les scientifiques ont d'une manière que j'ai oublié, fait en sorte que les soldats (expérimentations) avaient une durée de vie limitée (ça se voit avec les marques apparaissant sur firefly dans son trailer) et en plus que si ils y en a qui se rebelle, ils meurt. (comme si c'était codé dans leur adn)
La "majesté" c'était d'ailleurs rebeller contre leurs créateurs (si ma mémoire me fait pas défaut)
I hope Google Translate will do well it's job 😅😂
@_layto_3251 that is so horrible so heart breaking
You should totally watch the live concert, it was amazing.
definitely will!!!!
But i will suggest that watch it after play through until penacony first, because it kinda spoiled for her to watch🤔
@@mangocheese0123 ohhh ok I will save it for the future
Thank you for letting me know!!
In Rondo Black Swan(white haired) is a Memokeeper which can look into memories. She wanted to confirm if Acheron killed Duke and then she sees her power. Which was so powerful and terrible that just the memory of it almost killed Swan and Acheron didn't notice this
So I was close lol Even in her trailer, she talks about memories past present and future, so I figured she has something to do with all that.
Thank you for the info
In the virtual universe store, you will be able to buy a 5-star cone of light that is suitable for Rappa.
NICEEE!! 5 star! That's great! I'm using a 4 star atm. I need to see how I can get the one in the virtual universe store!
Among Iron Cavalry long hair like Firefly`s is a sign of veterancy so in her short she as an old veteran sees as young and fresh newbie just died before her
Ohhh I see! What a sad trailer that was
15:21 Now that I think about it, it would be great for Sprinkles to make an outfit based on Sparkle because you guys look a lot alike and it wouldn't change your hair that much LOL
NICE IDEA!!!
Sparkle I LOVE HER OUTFIT hahaha she is soooo cute, maybe I could use her as an inspiration for my next outfit
19:00 The cool thing about this short is the play is talking about a certain two characters who are watching it and their actions towards the little accident the actors have is representing and adding context to the play itself. You might want to come back to these trailers once you're caught up with the story in-game because you'll get a lot more meaning out of them. Great reactions and good to know they're getting you hyped up for the game!
ohhh I really don't get it much lol, yes you are right I should come back to them because I can't understand some of what's happening or misunderstanding what's happening haha
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it
@@8-bitSprinkles Well, that's normal at this point so yeah rewatch after the game ❤
33:08 she fall in love for aventurine, i dont judge because he was make for it!!
hahaha I have joined the Aventurine fan club hahaha
49:13 they both general.. it's like they're general on their own Xianzhou(Country) and you will unlock one of all xianzhou after jarilo IV and meet the guy..
P.s There are Seven Xianzhou.. and the General lead their own Xianzhou.. the girl just visiting this Xianzhou to attend the meeting with the guy (other general)
ohhh I see!! I can't wait to get to see them all they all look like so much fun
Thank you for the info~
You're so cute! I love your voice and reactions! btw, congratulations on 1K subscribers and for pulling Rappa!
I can't wait for your game reactions and myriad celestrial trailer reactions.
thank youuuuu very muchhhhh, you are so sweeeeeet
I'm working on my next gameplay at the moment so look forward to it
Firefly: *fights a swarm of insects*
Sprinkles: "She is fighting the government"
Good insult 🤣🤣
haha I really don't get what's happening I thought the government was making them do all this HAHAHA
41:17 Is not really for their magesty, it was to protect their world (Glamoth), and even the universe, the swarm was destroying everything they were created with a honorary purpose... The irony is that their planet was destroyed even before the swarm came for them
ohhh I see, I can't wait to get to that part of the story to understand more! it seems like I didn't get what was going on there other than that it was SUPER SAD
Just like in HI3rd, characters can have multiple pullable forms. Notably Dan Heng, he has a 4* varient but has a 5* varient that must be pulled through his banner. Another would be March 7th and MC. Despite getting multiple forms, they're completely free and come from playing the story. They're also really good, March 7th is performing well in follow up teams, and MC (their harmony version (support)) is insane for Break/super break teams (think of bloom teams where they require lottle investment for lots of damage).
Whoaaa I see now!! That's really crazy, I've never seen this before (4star-5star variants)
Yeaaa, since I have Rappa, I was told I need harmony MC! I like that they are free haha
Thank you for the info that was helpful
You should watch the Honkai Impact animated shorts, you will fall in love and you will probably shed tears too, they are amazing and the concerts definitely make you cry.
I do plan to watch Honkai Impact 3rd animated shorts too!! but first I have to finish up with HSR haha I'm sure I'm gonna love them too I watched some lore videos for HI3 to understand the story and it's so captivating!!
Thank you for the suggestion
@@8-bitSprinkles ❤️
Yeah~🎉😂 if you don't care about lore spoiler "Myraid trailer" is there ,but I know... you want to enjoy story by yourself then I waiting for next your playing
and now I become your members
@@AungitMiniArtist OMG THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHHH I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!
I do plan on also reacting to Myraid Celestia buttttt first I'm working on part 2 gameplay!!
Thank youuuuuu again!! for the support
58:00 the indication for a 5 star is if you look at the flying ticket and it feels like you are having a seizure or it has a rainbowflare with a different track and if you didn't see the ticket thing the door will turn gold instead of purple
yeaaaa a few people pointed out the ticket, which is crazyyyyy I would have never noticed it by myself lol, it's so well hidden
Thank you for the info
@@8-bitSprinkles glad to help
Finally got to binge watch your reaction! I can't wait for you to reach penacony and learn more about Aventurine, he's such a good character and a good chunk of the story involves him so you'll can definitely look forward to learning more about him!!! ＼(^o^)／
And if you think you needed tissues watching these trailers, just wait for some of the actual stories🥲
Glad you got Rappa btw, I kinda wanna wish for Aventurine but I'm staying strong for Sunday (a character you'll eventually meet) next patch!!! Hope you're able to get him though :)
I can't wait tooooo! I am really looking forward to his part of the story, those trailers were toooooo shorttttttt lol
yeaaa many many boxes of tissues for the story
thank you so much!! and good luck on your pulls!! hope you win!
Congrats on 1k. Love your reactions. Guess you should give the Myriad Celestia trailers a watch soon too.
thank you so much! glad that you enjoy my videos
yeaa definitelyyyyy, but I got some videos planned first!! ^^
8:13 (Spoiler for your question)
The guy on the right is Yingxing (Blade former name) and the girl is Baiheng.
You will see Blade in the Luofu :).
Jingliu as a quest in the luofu that help you understand better what happened between them all 👌.
I can't wait to see all their stories
it will make these trailers make more sense to me for sure haha
@8-bitSprinkles you will love their story :)
Myriad Celestia Trailer's reaction next? This trailer's more about lore, but very interesting too! Congrats with 1k subs and Rappa!
Thank youuuuuu very muchhhhh!
yessss but first I have part 2 gameplay coming soon and some other videos, I will get to Myriad Celestia sooooon
46:07 Yeah, so basically shes the devil with a hat
haha I think I understand what you mean
47:47 So... his story is that he's a doctor, but!
In the game he is considered a Debuffer, as he is a cook
He is the character with the most controversial mechanics in the entire game's history.
ohh I see haha so not a healer! controversial lol can't wait to see his story too
Congrats!!!! You won the 50/50 I said that you will win the 50/50 Manifested it In the gacha, you can see the ticket will have the shadow things when you get five star. Not going to say much, because im scared that I will spoil you haha. Waiting for your next playthrough with Rappa
THANK YOUUUUUU YESSSSS you did say that omg LOL wish me luck for my Aventurine pulls too lol your wishes make me lucky hahaha
yesss that after image, lol it's so hidden, someone just pointed it out to me, I had to replay the same part so many times to see it
haha yessss!! I already recorded half of the next gameplay without Rappa but I will have her there in the second half
@@8-bitSprinkles You definitely will get Aventurine tooo I'm going to pull him too so let's hope that we both get it
Ahh okayyy I'm excited to see the next playthrough!!
yeaaaa let us both win our 50/50 pleaseeee
Поздравляю с Раппой!!!!! И да, к сожалению её конус ей очень нужен...как и персонаж Fuga, который выйдет в следующем патче, во второй половине
thank youuuuuuu
I might try to get her cone but I don't know I want Aventurine too!!
yeaaaaa I want Fugue, I heard she is good with Rappa
@@8-bitSprinkles я тоже буду Авантюрина выбивать ) а Фуга идёт для команд с пробитием, вроде Раппы, Светлячка и Бутхила, к тому же эта лисица очень красива
YEAAA Fugue is so prettyyyyyyyyyyy 😍😍
Gratz on reaching 1k subs
thank youuuu
1:03:45 No way!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations on Rappa Sprinkles, it will be very useful to you at the beginning of the game and I'm glad you won the 50/50!!!!
I already got mine yesterday and I'm already building it lol
whoaaaaa congratssssss I'm happy for you
yesssssss thank you so muchhhh haha I'm so happy I have Rappa now, I also levelled her up to 20 hahaha and gave her a 4 star lightcone
what lightcone do you use on her? her signature?
I still don't know what to do with her skills, what to level up haha I need to check some guides I will start using her in my gameplay
@8-bitSprinkles If you want and can, you can try her signature cone as it gives you a good start in putting together the build and if you need help with the build, my recommendation is
All tracks at maximum but they are equally worth leveling up one in each and focusing more on her basic Atk
Her outfit is Iron Cavalry of Glamoth And the ornament is Talia
But just like in Genshin Impact, you can't farm clothes without unlocking the 5-star drop.
If you have any questions, you can ask and I will always help you!!!
Thank youuu that is helpful!! I'm not sure if I can do the LC I want to save up for Aventurine lol I guess I will see before she is gone how many Stellar Jades I have farmed, I certainly don't want to top-up again to get the LC
thank you for helping me, I will follow your instructions!! I will not farm the relics of course it's too soon haha I just wanted to know about her skills/talents/tracks I forgot what they are called in HSR I see all are equally important! got it 👍
thank youuuuuu very much!
@8-bitSprinkles Aventurine is the best defense character in the game and he would be very interesting for you, but he won't be a good match for Rappa in the future.
But the cone that you can use in Rappa is the one that is in the cone gacha now "when harmony dissipates" it is 4 stars a single copy already helps to improve Rappa if not use it for now "make the world cry out" Also 4 stars
I guess I could try a few pulls if the weapon I need is a 4 star! I will take note of the ones you mentioned
I am using "The Seriousness of Breakfast"
Thank you for your help!
16:44 Just to let you know, those two are Gunaifen/Lil Gui (Orange hair) & Sushang (Brown hair), they're 2 of the most Beloved 4* in HSR, they're best friends!
ohh nice, so I get to see them in-game!! I can't wait to meet them they are so cute 🩷
thank you for the info
@8-bitSprinkles Your welcome!
Also, in case you didn't know, the VA's of this game have multiple HSR music covers if you'd like to react on it, it's amazing! I'm sure you'll enjoy them!
Thank you for the suggestion! I will be sure to check them out
@@8-bitSprinkles Oh one more thing, there will be small spoiler cutscenes in the Music Video that might hinder your gameplay experience so just a little spoiler alert
Thanks for letting me know some people also recommended the concert but I should do it after I catch up with the story because of the spoilers xD maybe I will do the same with the music videos you mentioned!!
When you get 5 stars, the music is a little different and the ticket will blur.
ohhh the music is different? I will check that out 😲
yea the blur (after image effect) someone pointed it out, it's crazy how well hidden it is XD haha
Thank you for the info!!
Just wanna say that as you can see some of this spoils plot for 2nd and third planet xDD
Specially firefly and aventurine and Dan heng
hahaha I think I still didn't understand what was going on XD I think the one that got spoiled for me the most was Dan Heng, and his banner is now here and he is 5 stars LOL
I'm too slow sometimes lol
Yes haha his banner is coming so the cat is already out of the bag
But those 5 characters in the trailers are the most and best part of the 2nd planet do look forward to their story 😍
Jing Yuan / cy yu
Jing Liu / amalee are my favorite honkai star rail duo/vtubers xD@@8-bitSprinkles
oh I am looking forward to all the stories 😍
ohhhh amalee!! I lover her voice
CRAZYYY She voices Jing Liu!!! I didn't know 😲
34:46 the only thing I can say is that you will see the story of xianzhou/her story as soon as it ends in belobog/Jarilo 6 and I don't want to give spoilers, but all the characters are very fun to understand the story
I can't wait to see them all and their stories!! the animated shorts are making me want to speed the story to understand everything fast lol
I didn't realise this was such a recent upload, i always enjoy people watching the starrail animations, it definitely makes you want to find out more about the characters
Sometimes there are things you only fully recognise from watching other things or experiencing the game but mostly you can draw your own conclusions from the visuals
Rondo across countless Kalpas is my favourite animated short, you were basically right about the symbolism, the one who initiated the dance (Black swan) was trying to get into the other girls (Acheron) head and figure out her memories but upon actually getting to see her memories she finds it is much darker than she expected and suddenly the tides turn, where once she felt like she was leading the dance she is suddenly no longer in control and is in danger of being consumed by the darkness as others have, she realises she has made a grave mistake and drastically underestimated the person she thought she was trying to figure out
After watching the full video there are ways to tell if you have a 5* on your pull however it would be easier for you to look up a video for the demonstration of it rather than having it explained, but you can tell as early as the ticket flying in the very first part of the warp animation instead of waiting for the door to show gold
yeaa I got even more excited after watching them I'm trying to speed up the main story to find out more, so many interesting stories!!
it was an interesting animation for sure, maybe the only one I almost got right lol
yep, others have explained to me, and after repeating the parts a few times I noticed the difference between 5 star and no 5 star it's so hard to spot lol
Thank you for your input!
@8-bitSprinkles where are you currently at in the story?
I've been playing since March but I've been really taking my time so I wouldn't be surprised if you were already further than me
You were right about some others but it's easier to grasp when you have more information of course, if you rewatch them after going through the story other details will probably make sense
There's also Myriad Celestial trailers which are much more lore based (and slightly more confusing) but you've probably already been told about them
Yeah once you know what to look for it becomes much easier to know what to expect, I was amazed when I first found out about the hints of a 5*
@@rachelthornberry1240 I started about a week ago so I'm really at the start. actually I just finished recording my part 2 gameplay "In the Withering Wintry Night" the first part of Jarilo VI
it's very interesting and it seems like things are getting heated now
I can't wait to continue!!
yea for sure, I will go back to them again once I have finished the story fully! true many have requested the Myriad Celestial, I will get to that soooooon
@8-bitSprinkles Ah I see, I hope you continue to enjoy it, things certainly get interesting. I take my time so I'm only in the world after Jarilo VI despite having almost played for a year, I advise you to do other quests alongside the main before you move on to the next world because you'll only end up getting more once you get to the next world
I'm curious who your favourite character is so far (be it one you've pulled or one you've met through the story)
I'll keep an eye out for the myriad videos then :3
@@rachelthornberry1240 thank you for the advice! my favourite characters at the momeny are Rappa (I pulled for her) and Aventurine (I plan on pulling for him on the 2nd phase banners) haha I still didn't meet many characters but I like others I saw in the trailers like Sparkle she is interesting haha
Danheng was the first to go from 4 star to 5 star, but the characters are separate from eachother, meaning if you want you can put 4 star and 5 star Dan Heng on the same team. It's predicted soon Herta will get her 5 star form after the recent HSR 2.6 livestream showing her older appearance.
The Herta you see in game is only her puppet form which is what she looked like as a kid. March 7th in the future will most likely get her 5 star form once she finds out her true identity.
whoaa I see! that is really interesting 😲
I'm interested to finding out how March 7th will look she is cuteee! I wonder if she will be more mature
thank you for the info
21:48 Yes girl with dark hair is extremely powerful and her reran banner is in 2ish weeks. If you are new player its very recomended to save for her. Her name is Acheron.
but I want Aventurine if I'm lucky on his banner I will go for her too wish me luck
thank you for the advice!!
@@8-bitSprinklesyeah that's the play, getting who you want, good luck with Aventurine pulls! (ps acheron with low investment, so f2p lc and 4* supports isn't amazing or anything)
@kassachi ohh really? I really hope I get lucky on Aventurine, then I can try go for her and she can be my second team
thank you for the info
@@8-bitSprinkles Yeahhhh... Acheron is the unit that relies on her signature 5* lc the most in the entire game (40% dmg increase with it, her f2p lc options suck)
So purely from a meta perspective, she isn't worth getting if you can't get her lc as well, and it might be better to save for 3.x units after you get Aventurine since he and Rappa can carry your account^
That said, that's only relevant for the endgame modes, if you don't really care about clearing those then you can just pull for whoever you want and enjoy playing the game your way! (i didn't mean to type so much, you're welcome to ignore everything honestly 😅)
@@kassachi heyyyyyy nooooo type as much as you like, I enjoy having such conversations with everybody and I write a lot too haha no worries
Thank you so much for your advice!! I think I misunderstood you the first time, I thought you were saying that she is f2p friendly and doesn't require much investment xD
ok I see now! I was told that Fugue is coming in the next patch and she is a good teammate for Rappa too!!
I think it's too soon for me to think about end-game content haha I will enjoy playing the game for now as you said haha
Thank you so much for taking the time to chat with me
Loving your voice.
aww you are so sweet
Congratulations on Rappa! I received it yesterday myself after losing everything)))
OH NOOOOO but still congratsssssss and thank youuu hope your next pulls are luckier haha
I'd recommend watching the Star Rail Live Concert however it is more emotional (You'll know when you get to the "Rooftop scene" :D) if you finish the Penacony Arc or PEAK-acony!! so try and save it up for future vid idea.
got it!!! I will save it for when I finish Penacony thank you for letting me know!!
To know when a 5 star is coming, look at ticket when ticket on right of screen you can see 3d hologramic colors
Keep looking at ticket, and when ticket on left upper screen you can see the hologramic effect again, and the train music changes a bit
Just keep looking at ticket to see the 3d color effect of the ticket, the effect can be seen twice clearly like I said.
yes a few people told me about it lol, it is so hard to spot, I had to repeat the part a few times to figure out what the difference is between 5 stars and no 5 stars
I think my volume was quiet or I just wasn't paying attention to the music I didn't notice it at all
Congrats on getting Rappa! One thing, her kit revolves around break damage, which means you need a super break support so she can actually do damage. We only have Harmony Trailblazer so far but they can be unlocked early for free. Since you already played Rappa's trial, I guess you can unlock them already because that was all the spoiler you were going to get so...
ohhh I thought harmony MC is unlocked later! 😲
I just learned the tutorials in the game about break damage, it is the bonus damage that is done when the toughness breaks correct? I hope I understand it correctly lol
some people said also that Fugue (a new character that is coming in the future) is a good teammate for Rappa!! I want to get her too
Thank you for the infoooo
@@8-bitSprinkles Yes but more recently they added super break dmg, which boosts break dmg a lot. Break characters like Rappa don't do much damage until the enemy is weakness broken. She can turn part of her break dmg into super break dmg on her own, but not nearly as effectively as Harmony Trailblazer's ult. And yeah, Fugue will also be able to do that, I just avoided mentioning in case you didn't know yet. Technically you will unlock Harmony Trailblazer later but you can do so early on the Travel Log. And you might want to because you're still far from unlocking them naturally and from Fugue 😅
ohhh I see I think I understand a bit now
Travel log... I just searched it yesssss it says I need to finish Jarilo VI
that's really gooooood I can make good use of Rappa early now
Thank you so much for telling me this, else I wouldn't have known about it
@@8-bitSprinkles No problem, happy to help!
Harmony MC gets unlocked at the end of the first planet. And until then you really don't need to worry about teamcomps. I'd say character level either 50 or 60 is when you should really narrow it down to one primary team or you'll run out of resources fast (assuming free to play). Then, you can expand from there for the two-team endgame modes if you care for those.
Edit: I watched the pulls just now, I guess you can ignore the "free to play" comment.
1:02:27 the different in the soundtrack and rainbow afterimage on the ticket is the clue that you got a 5 star
Nvm, you already noticed it
Hahaha yea a few people have pointed it out. It is so well hidden, unlike Genshin Impact or ZZZero
Thank youuuu
It's funny that you say "no spoilers" but the trailers etc spoiled you on a lot of stuff. Also on a side note I LOVE the energy you bring into this!
haha I mean other than what the trailers spoiled for me
haha thank youuu glad you enjoyed the video
Hi Sprinkles! I hope you also watch the Honkai Impact 3rd animations/shorts, it's my favorite Hoyoverse game. I'd even help out by making a proper playlist for you to watch them in a chronological order and if you ever start to play the game I'd be sure to be there to watch. ☺️
aww that's so sweet of you thank you so much!! is the playlist on hoyo's channel not good?
I plan on reacting to HI3 animated shorts for sure, but I have to finish up with HSR first so it will be delayed
I hope you will watch the video though once I make it
I actually watched some lore videos about HI3 to understand the story and I'm very interested can't wait to watch the shorts!!
Thank you for the suggestion!!
@@8-bitSprinkles Unfortunately the official channel's playlist is jumbled and unorganized, even missing some of them. So usually people just give content creators their own playlist. The only caveat is HI3 only has JP and CN voice so I'll have to make a list based on what you prefer.
I've enjoyed all your videos so far so I'm sure I'll enjoy your HI3 videos too, definitely looking forward to it, no rush though you can take your time~
Watching lore videos actually helps with providing a bit of context because there's a bunch of terminologies and events not in the game (manga, web visual novel, etc.) that you won't get right away even when you watch the official shorts.
oh I see! yea right I just remembered that someone already linked a playlist for me, but I'm not sure if it's ordered or not though. they did say that the one on HI3 channel is not good. I will probably use that or if you still want to make one I don't mind I prefer JP voices.
I'm happy that you enjoy my videos I look forward to starting HI3 shorts as soon as I can
and thank you for the help!!
So I downloaded it yesterday and now because of you I'm even more hooked to it thank you now I'll be part of the gasha grinder 🤣
OMGGG YOU FINALLY JOINED THE GACHA CLUBBBB welcome welcome may you win every single 50/50 and get them all early hahaha
I was hooked from day 1 after watching the trailers lol and now even moreeeee
1:02:27 the ticket is glowing with rainbow colors, that is when you know 5 stars is coming.
you can compare it with 1:00:24
Haha yea I was told that, I kept repeating the 2 parts to see the difference it's so well hidden I wouldn't have known or noticed it on my own lol
Thank you for the info
44:00 I'm always moved by this trailer because it was at that point that I really fell in love with the firefly and wanted to take care of her like my daughter, I even have her on my account as E1 and the signature cone for my love for her
aww you really love firefly she is really cute 🥹 I hope she has a happy ending in the story, because so far all I see is sadness
CONGRATS ON GETTING RAPPA!!
She might have come late but at least she came right
I'm just gonna say without spoiling too much that once you get to Penacony you'll unlock a support character that's insanely good for any break character like her~
THANK YOUUUUU!! haha I'm happy I didn't lose
are you talking about harmony MC btw? many have mentioned that but someone also said that I can unlock harmony MC early now after finishing Jarilo VI, I searched it and it's true. I can't wait to do give Rappa a good team
@8-bitSprinkles Really? I had no idea you could do that now lol
Just be careful about spoilers
Hahaha, now I'm the one giving you new info about HSR yea, I don't know if it is a quest or what, I guess I will find out, lol I really want harmony MC for Rappa
So happy you got Rappa!!
haha thank youuuuu!! I'M SO HAPPYYYYYYYYY
Since you're so early in the story, you must take advance of getting the materials for Rappa, they're unlocked in her banner duration. I'm the character menu you check what you need
oh I was able to make her level 40 I can't go further at the moment until I reach Equilibrium level 2. are you saying when her banner is gone I won't be able to farm her materials? 🥹
@@8-bitSprinkles yes, you won't be able to keep farming after if you don't unlock the maps in the story. (It's Penacony for Rappa's. 2.0 or so)
omg nooooo!! thank you so very much for letting me know really! I need to farm them everyday until she is gone not many days left
Congrats on your Rappa pulls! I haven't played Genshin since Sumaru, but I can tell you HSR feels alot more mature from a character perspective. Some of the stuff you saw was semi spoilerish, but without context I guess its not to bad lol. Which one was your favorite?
I got Rappa while I was building pitty, so I don't have the LC either. I'm still building her to see how good she is without it. Normally you can get by without the LC, just note that the LC banner is like 70/30 or 75/25 unlike Genshin. Meaning you have a 3/4 chance to get the actual LC. In alot of cases the Eidolons are alot stronger than getting the LC, but the chance of failure is very high with another 50/50.
Thank you so much ahh I think I see what you mean by mature!
yes I think the one that really got spoiled for me was Dan Heng because I noticed his banner and I remembered some comments XD so linking all that together gave it away lol the banner was the main spoiler here LOL
that's a tough question!!!! haha I like the ones Aventurine appeared in I'm so interested in his story
I see lots of people like the firefly one but I find it super super super saaaad I don't want to be sad or cry but I know there is no running away from that
I enjoy funny and cheerful ones more like "Taking It Easy" haha
ohh so it's easier to get the lightcone! I don't know if I will try to get her lightcone because I want Aventurine and Fugue!!! people said that I can get the 5 star lightcone from the simulated universe for Rappa, I just have to get the tokens which will take 8 weeks haha I'm using a 4 star LC for now
@@8-bitSprinkles True that's one way to go about it. I have had Adventurine since he launched and I don't regret him at all. He's probably one of the best units in the game atm, and of course he's stylish :D. Not a bad idea to want Fugue either. The main suggestion I've followed since launch is the characters you never want to miss are Harmony, because they are game changers. Alot of people suggest for the free 5 star at 300 pulls on the standard to go for Bronya, since she's one of the best starting buffers. Bronya, Sparkle, and Robin are all game changers because they allow you to turn skip.
I'm looking forward to Fugue, because I have alot of teams that could use her. Atm any info on unreleased characters are based on the test servers, and it will be several months through test versions before we have an idea of what her real kit will look like.
As for how to tell you get a 5 star, you will see the ticket shimmer rainbow on the right side of the screen and the music while the train comes changes sorta like ZZZ.
They aren't so cruel in the game to only give us sad and bitter stories. You will learn more about Firefly in the future. But there is a reason people love her besides just her said backstory.
I actually did the battle tutorials a couple of days ago and I learned that about Bronya! It was so CRAZYYY the enemy had no turn at all I see so Sparkle does the same? Ohhhhh I want her nowwww she is cuteeee
Yea many have explained it to me, how to notice a 5stars, it is more hidden than zzz and genshin lol
Ohh I see!! I hope she has a happy ending she is so cute she needs to be happy can't wait to learn more about her and everyone else!!!
Grats on the Rappa pull.
You already said you're going for Aventurine, but if you don't get him, Lynx is a very reliable healer and easily good enough to use in any content, which I just wanted to point out because you got her E2 already. She gets outclassed by most 5* healers/shielders (and Gallagher) because she doesn't contribute to the fight offensively like they do, but she does perfectly fine at keeping your team alive. Just as a fallback in case the Aventurine pulls go wrong and/or for the 2nd team.
Your reactions were fun too and don't worry about not understanding a lot of what's going on in the trailers. Everyone who watches them before playing has that issue, because you'll get a ton of information in the game about the context.
That's really good to know! about Lynx I mean, I guess I could add her on my team as I wait for Aventurine! because I'm dying a lot
Thank you for the tips
I'm glad that you enjoyed the video!! Haha yeaaaa I can't wait to get to all the stories to understand more and add more context to all these trailers
Yeah Aventurine is rerunning next patch and is not only an interesting character but also the best shielder in the game by far so you can't go wrong by pulling for him. I skipped him when he was released cause I hadn't gotten to his story yet and I'm still regretting it haha. I will get him this time for sure 👍
NICEEEE!! good luck with your pulls!!! I hope that we all get him and win our 50/50 don't forget to let me know how it went
@@8-bitSprinkles I've been winning all my 50/50 lately but Aventurine is a master gambler, so we'll see 🤣
HAHAHA NICE ONE!! yeaaaaa he needs to give us all the win
Congratulations on getting rappa, and in the beginning it's better to spend the pulls on characters 🤗
Thank you so much
trueeee I lack characters, I will use f2p lightcones for now XD
Поздравляю с Раппой
Thank you so muchhhh!!
I wanted Rappa so much!!… but I lost the 50/50… I was very sad… guess I’ll try at her rerun. Good news is that I could get the next character guaranteed (which is Aventurine) if he comes early in the pulls
oh noooooooo I hope you get Aventurine earlyyyyy I want him too, he is a must for me
good luck on all your future pulls!!!
@@8-bitSprinkles thank yoooouuu!! Aventurine wanters will be Aventurine HAVERS!!!
@@8-bitSprinkles aventurine is by far the best preservation character un the game and one of the best character in the game :)
@_layto_3251 Aventurine and soooooon he will be mineeeeeee and I will be immortal hahaha
congratulations!! 🎉🎉
take her to heaven for me 🥺
HAHAHA THANK YOUUUUUU RAPPA
Purple: 4* Character
Rainbow Colored: 5* Character
The indication is that if you got a rainbow ticket, that means you get a 5*
Thank you so much for the info
I finally noticed it after many have pointed it out haha
1:00 didn't realise i wasn't subbed yet, thx for the reminder
haha so reminding people to sub does work Thank youuuuu for the sub I appreciate it
I hope you don't mind my asking, but your accent is adorable. I can't tell where you're from though, do you mind sharing?
I hope you're still enjoying the game, it's one of my all-time favorites at this point
I get asked that A LOT, hahaha
well, I live in the UK, and English isn't my first language. the reason why no one can figure out where I'm from is because my accent has developed overtime. where I'm from, people don't speak the way I do now haha
and to be honest, I don't even know what my accent is or why is it cute LOL
but I'm happy that people find it nice to listen to
and yessssssss I'm enjoying the game more than I ever expected haha, it is soooo gooood!!
If you wanna see a little more about aventurine, you have to see "WHITE NIGHT" music video, for me, is easily one of the best music vídeos of hoyoverse
Also you could see "A Night of Ever-Flame: Scene 33". Is about the annihilation gang.
whoaaa I just found them on the HSR youtube channel!!
I will definitely check them out
I plan on reacting to the " Myriad Celestia " trailers in the future!! so I will save it for then!
Thank you for the suggestions
1:05:27 - Genshin players are not yet used to the fact that the same character can be sold more than 5 times in Honkai ahaha It's ok here))))
Yea I was surprised when I found out about that
@8-bitSprinkles hehe, I was also surprised when I saw a lot of Kiana Kaslana, Himeko, Bronya, etc. in HI3. The funniest thing is that in HI3 you can play as characters who died in the story. I hope that in the future, НSR will be more like HI3, and the writers won't be afraid to make even sadder stories.
Whaaaaaat why even sadder stories too many sad stories are too heartbreaking I want happy endings lol yes I watched HI3 trailers and I just couldn't figure out how that works having different versions of the same character until people explained it to me I only knew genshin, it's the only hoyo game I played for over a year and it doesn't have this stuff
Let's go! Finally, it's here!
enjoyyyyyyy
43:24 that's Glamoth 🥲
ohhhhhh ok I actually didn't know what Glamoth is lol
it was mentioned and I just didn't understand
this trailer is so sad
Great reaction video 😁👍 I love the dance rondo short, you just started the game so of course lot's of things don't make sense, but it's ok you will understand
Yep the girl "Acheron" coming in 2nd phase is the game strongest one💜acheron main here😉
The girl dances with her is black swan she's so amazing, she's just too pretty I can't get over that😍
The girl in first trailer she's amazing too despite everything she's doing her best🤍her name is Jingliu I think she's the coolest character literally 🤣i like her story a lot
As for aventurine you can literally play a whole part about him, so all ur questions about him will be answered, same for most characters so avoid spoilers, tons people can't tell you anything unless they spoil stuff they think telling you spoilers makes them look smarter 🤓
I really want to enjoy the game in ur own way with no spoilers through your own experience 😁
The fast girl is really cute right that's Feixiao 💚 one of my mains too😆she's amazing as you saw with helping people and yeah she's crazy fast ✨I love Feixiao 💚
There's so many people spoiling story related stuff, like aventurine being slave is supposed to be revealed in story, that person who told you that love to spoil things, you should warn people more about anything revealed through the story 🙃
Anyways love your reaction plus congrats on Rappa you won the fifty that's great news i'm happy for you 🎉👏😁
Yeah light cones can wait later, oh and I love how you already simping for characters 🤣 the star rail got you good now you're hooked😌
yeaaa I think the trailers "spoiled" some things but they didn't make so much sense to me! that's why I said no spoilers lol
I can't wait to experience all of these stories myself
yeaa Feixiao is really cute I like her personality haha can't wait to meet her in-game XD
I'm happy there is a big part for Aventurine in the story lol can't wait!!
Thank youuuuu
haha yes what can I do, I didn't expect to get hooked so fast to be honest XD but the characters, the story, the game in general, everything is so good lol
it makes me happy to know that you enjoy my videos thank you again! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
Sparkle got me so bad I E6 her in just 2 banners xD
In general their animations are super good 👍🏻
the whole internet went wild from that 5min of Black Swan and Acheron dance scene 🎬
if you like Aventurine he is coming in the second half of this patch together with Acheron
also congrats for Rappa
I’m skipping her sadly as I character I was waiting for is coming next patch
Sparkle is just so cuteeeeeeee I don't blame you
haha I can see why they would go wild it's an interesting animation HAHAHA
I loved the animations they are really crazy and hyped me up even moreeee
Wow you really liked the game, to your information, Rappa is a great unit to start the game. Team her up with linx, Gallagher (if you get one) and the Imaginarium trailblazer
hey! yea I'm having lots of fun haha thank you for the advice! sadly I don't have Gallagher I have linx she is on my team now
rappa is the few hero that really need her lightcone.. it's a necessity to play her smoothly.. gacha for her lighcone.. you will not be sorry..
Yea a few people have said the same, that it's necessary for her
I might try, I guess I will see xD
Thank you for the advice
am looking at the rappa short and was wondering why it looks familiar then i remember ah yes panty and stocking anime
I don't know this anime so I went and searched it you are right it looks similar haha
@8-bitSprinkles yesss i feel like they referenced from panty and stocking its a pretty good anime has alot of random stuff going on but def not great to watch on stream but will recommend
thank you for the recommendation
the animated shorts are better watched when u already finished the story. brings more lights seeing characters do more stuff
yeaaa I will rewatch them again after finishing the story, because I didn't understand much lol
@@8-bitSprinklesi recommend starting from myriad trailers. hsr youtube have a playlist for that. it has additional lore and whats the future contents gonna be. its safe to watch
@@sirmeowmeow7319 yea I plan on reacting to them soon, I just have a few videos to make first 😊
watch Honkai: Star Rail's 2024 concert
thank you so much for the suggestion!
you are such a cutie! I love the way you were so happy about things. Unfortunately, you let yourself be spoiled with Firefly... But notwithstanding, another great video from you.
haha you are so nice I can't help it this is how I behave when I'm excited about stuff lol
yeaaa but I still think I didn't comprehend the whole situation I still don't understand why they are fighting and for what. I can't wait to see moreeeeeee in the story
glad that you enjoyed it!! Thank youuuuu for your kind words
@@8-bitSprinkles You'll understand when you get to the right places in the story. And I'm already looking forward to watching you do it.
I am still not getting her yet 🥺🥺
oh noooooo I hope you get her!! there is still time you can do thisssssss!!!
@@8-bitSprinkles thanks you I will do my best 🥺

Live concert and myraid celestia next
Yea, about the live concert, I was told to save it until after the main story, I think I will do that! As for the Myraid Celestia, I should do it soon.
Thank you for the suggestion

34:50 yeah ... sure ... no spoilers ... kinda useless since u watched all the trailers and spoiled nearly all the major things but you do you i guess
def not judging u ofcourse, i spoiled some things for myself when i got into it too
trailers are meant to be watched... before playing i guess (in this case it is made to be watched at the same time with the game updates)
I think I still didn't understand much of what was happening there lol I meant no extra spoilers, the trailers are enough
