Alban finds Honkai Impact's lost media 

Me a Skyrim player:

AKA pretty much a nice short-sentence summary on why HI3 and even Genshin get worst for phones within months and likely forced some people to update graphics cards on Tatter PCs to just play on something better then laggy low performance. Seriously, i would gladly attempt multiple german suplexes in a row. If Miho-verse took some pages outta PGR`s design that would focus on gameplay modes that make use of older suits with actual fun to it. Since Elysia realm already went to shite by only dumping on-debut suits and mostly just S-rank suits for the older stuff with the kits being somewhat generic on the overall buffs they get. Where`s our non-Snek Summoned entity centric type battlesuits for E.R. already Mihoverse.~~~ Even worst that despite the `selection of suits.` Outside of the free crystals and leveling, besides modifiers that shite on all but 1-3 particular suits, your likely to never use any other battlesuit besides a flamechaser due to that +1 starting signet for getting the weekly rewards.

@@BladeSerph i mean you can. But youre just lazy so you go for the most convinient option. PGR will out last some frames too. They are much younger game. And they already did made Changwho?, Banji, Nanami, most Lucia A ranks and all Kareninas absolutly useless. Heck they even were useless at the time they came in. I own SS Fire Karen with SS Nanami and they both suck ass. Literaly, physical team is better on fire Weather than those two on their own Weather. Ans PGR basicaly never changes any permament content. Its alvays the same shit in PainCage and same shit in Warzone over and over again. Norman is just the same mobs but they add some stupid effects to them and bazziilion hp and resistances to make you waste a lot of time on it before you eventually realise that its not worth it

@@okularnik125 The funny thing is despite Changyu, Banji, Nanami and A-lucia would be considered `obsolete.` They are not obsolete in usability, just they are not the BiS at the moment. Nor are they so much power crept the scoring distance is absurd. Since that mostly starts once you WHALE for units that those high rank skills show off power creep, not so much on a triple S A rank vs a base or double S, S rank. Such as how Pain Cage, Norman warfare, Stronghold, Several events and some future game modes makes use of multiple teams, so this lets you make use of older units still to pad the numbers. Plus you might say that PGR doesnt change its content, pay attention to each version since they do changes each version then take half a year for any meaningful ones. Norman warfare alone did a sizable change on the global side for the S-vera update, where you can now choose what buffs you wanna specialize in for each team, which allows better creativity and flexibility. Also you can decide which fight you wanna do in what order, to save up those battery attack buffs as much as possible for other fights more fluidly. As for S-Karenina and S-Nanami, its kinda expected that on-release units will have simplistic kits to test the waters and make it flexible in some cases. PGR just had Fire be its matyr on taking the longest to whip out stonks units, but using said so-called weaker units tend to have a good impact on teaching you how to play the game then just Be constant i-frame ha ha blow up everything killing spree. Plus Warzone is designed to be a mob rush, not a boss-killer, thats the one good thing PGR did instead of what Honkai did by making both its competitive game modes into boss killer modes with mostly pointless DPS checks besides Nirvana in abyss to get pass the other 3 stages in abyss. Which because its also so generalized, you have more flexibility on what team comps to make use of, then forced to choose between 3 or even 6 different suit types of a SPECIFIC damage type, sometimes forced to niche to specific supports. PGR keeps a difficulty present if you want super high scores but its lenient enough if you just wanna `do good on a scoring.` Hell, i also enjoy the fact that PGR`s pain cage doesn`t constantly switch in new bosses too fast so you can actually make use of move set patterns you engrained into your muscle memory to fight them proper. Honkai on the other hand has made the fights into such hyper-speed kills and ignoring of things like remaining HP and not punish you as badly for taking hits that its less of a competitive boss fight and more of a `how fast you can cheese a health bar dead.` score attack. So yeah, i rather flexible fun instead of FOMO to be rushed into owning every potential comp in the game. Cause atleast the former makes me want to spend money on the game but not feel bad if im not caught up. ...then the later feeling like it wants to hold me at gun-point or suffer a bad time if i wanna keep up with the game.

@@BladeSerph surely you can use A ranks in Hero or Ultimate. What a joke. You look at Honkai through the perspective of Red Lotus and Nirvana and then look at PGR through perspective of what? Vanguard? If we want fair comparison then i assure you can retain agony with basic stuff with next to no knowledge and PGR being so heavy reliant on rng makes it so each fight is a pain if you want a high score. Good luck getting that Blue orbs on Alpha when you want to one shoot Musashi. And the thing that PGR keeps forcing me to use trial garbage because i have to save my strongest for later stages is bullshit. Thr thing i hate the most about events. All are like " play this random shit with random shit"

​@@okularnik125 If you wanna get that extensive on it then obviously your pulling a fun bias card. PGR gets props for having a easier time to get into Hero, thanks to a larger gap on what counts for promotion points from its difficulty below, but the difficulty to retain is a heck of alot more insane then Nirvana. For Honkai, its nigh`ly impossible to get top 3 red lotus to `gain points to promote` unless your running cheeser builds these days. Least PGR its just be in the top count and promote right then and there then spend several rotations to promote. Plus PGR has one thing over Honkai, `Your not FOMO chasing for gacha crystals.`, just additional resources typically for memories, specific resonance(affix) chasing or even additional frags to rank up units (up to double S for FREE basically on acquired S-ranks even if they just came out that version), Which makes extensively less pressure to score/retain. So one does not feel the pressure to play as aggressively in PGR and can JUST HAVE FUN WITH IT. Also in terms of Agony for Honkai, i have yet to ever try to go back down to that due to said gacha currency FOMO for many months, so im not certain on the exact scoring threshold fiascos, but if red lotus is a good example, its likely over-populated with too many super high scorers... ...Which is gonna get worst now that Honkai is letting even lower level players use PRI-arms, the super powerful weapons, even if its just the first version of it, since its the mechanics they bring that start the fkery. Also i rather like how PGR has the option for trial units as potential options for NEWER PLAYERS. Which better to have a pre-made if you dont have a optimized team just yet. Honkai handles it rather poorly with Sim battle and its main story at times (especially moon base arc) where you can only use those specific units or your own versions of it. Nothing much else on that. Least the only time both of them overlap aka the sim/guild battle, PGR has 3 fights between A ranks, transcendants and S-ranks where you can use whatever combo you want to get a fun score and besides getting a total of 500k points, nothing else matters. Honkai devolved its sim battle so poorly that the rewards are half MEH and its just an EE-peen measuring contest to kill each of 3 randomly selected bosses in 5 seconds or less. Least PGR makes it fighting the same boss multiple times till the timer ticks down to squeeze as many points out. Even fun to the point that with PGR guild battle, you could get the full score based rewards with 2 fights instead of needing todo all 3 if you dont care much on weekly rewards if your a silly like that. Though in that case for Honkai they really need a better UI for going thru units, PGR may hit that problem eventually but then i would just rather both have a setting i could have set by default to hide certain units, see multiple columns of units at the same time or have the setting not RESET every time i add one unit. Least i can be glad PGR is a bit more intuitative on its preset selection options then what Honkai has not changed for in quite a few years at this point.

Even keqing became lost media too you know

@@kuroehe6454 keqing is not even permanent shes just exclusive to the event you cant use keqing outside the event unlike asuka here.

"Asuka was so rare"... Well now I feel special, thanks bro! It makes me feel better about failing to get the damn art book

@@jrac-gl3ku i mean yeah shes rare cause they might never do another eva collab they could always do a genshin one cause its the same company..... The art book thing who knows maybe you can find it being sold online the artbook had a limited amount so having to race who gets the book first is fair i guess.... Sad the artbook is limited.

@@kuroehe6454she was likely never going to be added

i kinda hate myself, i didn't get all the swimsuit skins, i only have 2 but no one knew the skins was only possible to get in the first year D: (thank chinese for that)

SEA still has em,I think. Sincerely, a SEA player.

If you were a player when EXP chips were for specific types, you deserve a veterans discount. 🫡

@@ranun5973 I'm from the era when Chiyou missions and Chronicles are still ongoing Also the era when Captain X Valkyries are blooming and spreading, I miss those sides of Honkai Impact (at least the social media teams are still remember and posits the Titular Captain guy in very good exposures, thank God for veteran fanartists akin to Aepuru Arts, Marin Liekuriva, Mark1019 and some others in CN)

Lol, i was there when three kingdom event begin wow i feel so old now😂 what a good time to play HI3

Tbf they are just reskins of the original stigs with the same effects

HoSenti was the death sentence, Asuka was already having to against best bird, fu’hua nightsquire since she had no amazing gimmick or even a pri’arm to give her a chance. I’m still got my free asuka with only a Longinus when I did try to greed for her stigs, and sides maybe seeing her in a expedition I forget her even more easily then the main cast’s ORIGINAL default battlesuits. Shame I never was around Genshin long enough to pick up Aloy, since I would say even she has more useful relevancy then asuka since she was a free cyro bow user option which would be rather useful in physical teams if I remember correctly. And unlike how honkai rocks it’s teams, reactions push the unit variety too hard unless you have manage to get a very niche set of units on gacha luck like a full on geo team. Which is less about the geo and more about them synergizing buffs with each other.

I only grinded her to SS rank. She learns all her needed skills there. SSS rank only added minor healing and an extra charge if I remember right. So I didn't feel the need to spend more. Saved the rest for her full gear and to get HoS and her full gear later.

@@Edanite In terms of extreme time saving and what not, some `farmables` don`t need to be chased all the way. But its because its a farmable that has multiple sources to acquire fragments, Open world, Asterite, Gold pin (which gets merged into asterite in A-ONE-chan consolidation update), its not a problem to chase them. This is why i will also continue to have the desire to german suplex whoever thought it was a `swell idea` to have an SP valkyrie, even as a collab-type character, not have any post-version farming capacity if you atleast have her unlocked. Especially since outside of on-debut frags which is norm for SP valks, you would have to do terribly designed gacha for an SP valk of all things if you wanted to SIMP for her max rank. The fact even hit harder with Asuka when you realized there were WAY BETTER farmable options for her in terms of gearing and they just straight up `admitted` to bringing back her stigs with different art-work, half invalidating the fomo besides her weapon. But of course since we had Elysia and her farmable Stig set that could be 2 set mixed with any single phys stig for an EZ almost catch-all phys DPS set...even the idea of simp chasing for said collab character died even further. Also its KINDA A SHAME, that we have not had any other lance user besides Durandal and her 3 battlesuits, which all 3 are high FOMO on specific gear needs and two of them are basically obsolete at this point due to power creep and the third one lost its `rights` to being the only exclusive DPS battlesuit for imaginary types to yeetus Otto and HoDomination, 2 beeg bosses that were literally back to back with eachother and both being imaginary types. Hell, 6.3. is technically gonna have 2 replacements for Juan Durandal, Eden being a `budget pick up` for easier to pick up imaginary DPS yeetus, thanks to a pri-arm upgrade and Bronya as that hybrid DPS slash support weird niche play of sorts.

@@BladeSerph I can answer the whole Asuka not having post farm thing. It was mentioned a lot in the interviews. To put it simply, the owners of Evangelion are extremely possessive of their IP. To the point they will refuse to allow anyone use it without extremely tight restrictions. (They even tried to go after fan works a few times. Definitely tried to ban hentai of their characters. Didn't work.) Anyway, MiHoYo devs said they were heavily inspired by Evangelion and wanted to get the collab no matter what. This led to the conditions that after the collab date pass there would not be allowed to touch the IP again. So nothing depicting the characters nor anything that could allow players to obtain said depictions will remain available outside of what was obtained by the players during the agreed time period. This meant there was no farmable materials allowed for Asuka and the gear for her would have to be permanently left unavailable. They managed to work around that by replacing the equipment with unrelated art but kept the same effect. To put it simply, the owners of Evangelion are the reason we cannot acquire her, her parts, and her gear. But without that agreement the collab would never have happened.

@@Edanite never the less, I still find it funny that despite already having wild’card frags before literally around the time when the first sp valk and only actual dps SP valk, yae dark bolt Jonin kazumi. That miho’verse has yet to go back to that useful QoL design to help speed up grinding a ranks and could of also made use of it for a limited set of older SP valks and technically had a way to bypass the agreement by allowing all but the recent sp valks be able to use said frags for rank up. Because it’s not like they can get pissy at those who unlocked asuka during the collar, if they wanted a way to rank her up, when normally you shouldn’t be land locked on being able to ‘level up’ a character in a ridiculous fashion. Which would certainly let them gut out many stages that are used as valk frag farming stages only, when they already did that for many stages already in some recent year patches. But honestly honkai has a FK ton of things they need to QoL, and they are likely aware and purposely stalling it to let sunk cost fallacy and having some beeg boons to be stuck into later patches. Instead of having actual brain cells and introduce proper new content in place. Even forbidden area is just a glorified version of threshold breach, slash the story chapters where you farmed mc’guffin story chapter mats to get power ups that you can switch to whatever you desire. At this point, I’m honestly getting sick of that gimmick and wish they just had more standard chapters that are likely getting additional ram throttling cause of extra gimmicks tacked on, instead of just being a normal chapter like how it was, which sadly I can’t remember when that design started but was prob shortly before the RIMESTAR story chapter segment I believe. But going back to those rank up frags, it’s now because even Raven has been rendered obsolete in 6.2, that literally every a rank suit can now be considered worthless to invest in, because we have SP valks that can be farmed with CURRENCY gotten from many sources( stead of bad rngsus stages at 3 a day at best) and even be used as DPS units for low level or even mid content. That it makes me wanna cry that the idea of bringing nightsquire or one of my favorite a rank awakenings back in the day, yae miko Sakura would be a running joke even if she was brought into agony difficulty abyss.

Ahh yes the first physical valks and the only main one (until PE come home so I throw her)

You ever just combo lance users (durandal kek) and just slam them 3 times?

physical dps have too many option now, like BKE , PE or Elysia, and elysia is free , and you can grind her to SSS and make her sg stigma from foundry. I already stop playing asuka since elysia release.

@@rakawidipratama8069 I missed out on Elysia

@@HoshinoVT i am prety sure , u can grind her in Elysia realm and war treasury (4 frag/week)

Me, planning to skip her but got it anyways for the lulz: *confused Teri main noises~*

If you keep previewing her Outfits, she also calls you a hentai.

@@kevinwalsh9467 lol welp i dint know that.

Always have been

Well in the ending of the event asuka is seen floating on sea of quanta, Rita and Kongming found her

@@klyedlaserdeath5541 perpetually in a coma until another Collab comes around

@@imnewtothis must have been one hell of a coma because shes been sleeping for nearly 3 years now

@@klyedlaserdeath5541 trying to beat venom snake's 9 year streak

Yep, well, I was surprised though, I started playing the game again during Genshin Collab and I found it by accident

Lol if you came back for the free hor then you'll probably come back for the free hot. Honkai has been taking waaay to much space lately. I hope you'll have enough room.

They also had skins, even a bridge.

Asuka when is in event insanely powerful

fischl tho 👀

Fischl is still a mihoyo character (mihoyo's own property) even though she's from different game. While Asuka is from a different IP with different IP holder, aka she's not mihoyo's own property.

Well, the Columbus TM Elysia B set is a pretty good set for physical valks vs bosses.

it's just her tutorial stages.

@@Sheevlord But you can still experience her gameplay and stuff so i think that's cool enough I think it would be nice if she could have a rerun at some point but that won't happen :/

@@Lisa-ggz Well, it might happen actually. For example, Punishing Gray Raven had the Nier Automata collab twice on the Chinese servers (Global servers are a year behind so we only had this collab once). So theoretically, Evangelion collab could have a rerun too. Depends on the rights holder of course.

@@Sheevlord yeah houkai gakuen has collab reruns too but i heard that mhy signed an one-time contract with eva so idk

@@Sheevlord I doubt that. PGR's global got the Nier collab because that server haven't gotten it yet. While in Honkai, every server already had the Eva collab. Besides, they are from two different studios and publishers that don't do the exact same thing.

That's not a trash take. That's an enlightened take
