Black Swan with Guinaifen Hypercarry (No Kafka No Problem) in MoC 12 (F2P) | Honkai: Star Rail

Most people say that you need Kafka in order to use Black Swan, but this is not necessarily true. While having Kafka is really beneficial to Black Swan, you can still deal a lot of damage even without Kafka

I just discovered you today and your videos are pretty good. You earned a subscriber 🗣💯🔥

[@edenplaysofficial]

Thankss 🥳

[@gyanaranjansenapati1548]

7 cycle clear is meh. One team on avg should clear in 5cycle. However the Enemy u are facing has 40% extra RES to wind so u actually can 5 cycle with this team

[@edenplaysofficial]

You might be right, I recorded it in my first try which is a bad move on my part. I should have tested it more to play optimally

[@Liauw2806]

He unintentionally proved that BS needs Kafka for MoC lol
With Kafka, it's possible to 2-3 cycle this chamber (even with wind and elec resist)

[@okipullup133]

@@Liauw2806Would it be better to have Ruanmei or Kafka for this team?

[@fierypickles4450]

Honestly recommend tingyun. Her burst makes getting bs burts up super quick, plus its more f2p than a ruan mei.

[@sanguin3]

E4 Asta should be better as a budget Ruan Mei, as she can buff both DPS. This boss is also weak against fire so asta break would be insane.

[@lolkittah]

Don’t use Guinaifen’s ult unless she’s already applied burn, and preferably after there’s some arcana stacks applied. You want the detonation to not only proc the burn, but also have a chance to increase the arcana stacks. 😕 You can just hold the ult in that case, there’s no issue. Also, I would hold BS ult until after she’s been able to apply some # of arcana stacks to the deer. Overall, yes, I’d say record & showcase a later run after you’ve had a few chances to test & do a more optimal run, but these were 2 things I noticed right off the bat.

[@lolkittah]

Oh, I rewatched it and the deer did have 1 stack of arcana, so that’s ok to use BS ult. I thought it was reset to 0. My bad.

[@luizguilhermemason740]

​@@lolkittah BS or Gui's ultimate?

[@edenplaysofficial]

Thanks for pointing it out, I knew something was wrong and didn't noticed it 😶

[@Natasha_bazooca_mommy]

Question: the only way for Guinaifen to activate the arcana is when BS uses her ult and then Guinaifen uses hers, isnt?

[@burakoral4408]

Yes, same goes for luka c6

[@edenplaysofficial]

Yes, arcana will be considered as burn and other DoT effects when she uses her ult so Guinaifen's ult can detonate it

[@edenplaysofficial]

@Yasper-2TS If it's only raising arcana stacks, any dot characters can help since her talent states that if an enemy receives dot in their turn, there is a chance for them to be inflicted with arcana. But unless you use your ult, the arcana stacks will be reset to 1 when the enemy turn starts

[@sanguin3]

@Yasper-2TSArcana is counted as Wind Shear so yes, Sampo can detonate those with his E4.

[@blueiceyul2449]

probably a dumb question but how good is an E0 Sampo with black swan? I cannot get eidolons for him for the life of me like oml

[@edenplaysofficial]

Probably mid unless you get his E4. You should really get his E4 since it detonates wind sheer stacks and thus increase Black Swan's arcana stacks. You can still team them up while you wait in getting his eidolons, they can still work together

[@Satanhohoho]

What if no ruan mei lol

[@waddahgasim2485]

Is huohuo replaceable??? And if yes which character??

[@edenplaysofficial]

Yes, any sustain characters will do (Natasha, Lynx, Gepard, Fu Xuan, Luocha, etc.)

[@ApaYaa2nd]

personally would recommend preservation characters especially fuxuan with universal market lc. it ramps up BS dmg quite a bit

[@Iyoverse]

Do you watch Moon, by chance? Your title & thumbnail is practically bar for bar of hers. 😅
On the note of some advice, you could clean up this run a lot easier if you optimized your build. You get more value out of a Pan-Galactic set (if you have it) since your Mei isn't meeting the Spd threshold to max out Glammoth, even with Mei on the team.
Lil' Guin would benefit a lot more from being the break unit on the team or swapping her relic set over to DoT and focusing on a High ATK + Cr. build since she's the one throwing firecrackers around for the front loaded DMG.
Mei is Mei.
MoC 12 sucks for the DoT side of things, but with the right investment it can be strong as heck.

[@edenplaysofficial]

Oh, I didn't know the tagline was the same. I based my tagline on one of my past vids (No Skill Point? No Problem!). Anyway thanks for informing me. As for your advice, you're completely right but I'm still hesitating since farming pan-galactic is so inefficient especially for F2P, and I'm still not done farming the DoT set too. I'll try optimizing my characters more, thanks for the advice! I learned a lot

[@kilagraa]

Wanna start a dot team but I heard black swan is even better with Kafka so I’ll wait till I get a Kafka to pull for black swan

[@user-kb7cp7ls2d]

What about no Ruan mei as well?

[@hazard1one]

eh ,currently most DPS showcase is with Ruan Mei anyway .

[@edenplaysofficial]

I might try a triple dot or mono dot team, thanks for the idea!

[@MrWhere2005]

​@@hazard1one not most. All of the no-Kafka showcase use Ruan Mei (and also Huo Huo). Which made me to believe if you don't have Ruan Mei or Kafka or even Huo Huo, then it's not recommended to pull for BS. I would love to see BS showcase without Kafka, Ruan Mei and Huo Huo.

[@houdini9739]

@@MrWhere2005i saw an asta, guinaifen, black swan, ruan mei team where ruan mei could probably be replaced by any buffer or healer

[@radithyarizqihendana585]

I don't have eyes of the prey at s5, what i have to use?

[@edenplaysofficial]

You could use the event light cone (Before the Tutorial Mission Starts) if you have one, but honestly even if you're Eyes of the Prey is not at S5 I think you should still use it since It's hard to get a lot of Effect Hit Rate. If you don't want to, you can Run the Herta's Shop Light Cone or Fermata/It's Showtime

7 Cycle and u say is OK 😀😀😀???

[@edenplaysofficial]

It's pretty decent for a F2P, I'm happy as long as I can 3 star it

[@oscara8454]

Deer also resists wind.

[@Dragos3]

let the man play bro, he never said this is meta defining or anythign, let bro cook man

[@zbxbiiin-]

If he can 3 star it there's no problem right?

[@Eclin]

Assuming he can 3 cycles the next phase i guess lol. 7 cycles are indeed too slow, but tbf this is the worst matchup to begin with. They can try her on floor 11 to proof the point.
