BLACK SWAN GUIDE: How to Play, Best Relic & Light Cone Builds, Team Comps | Honkai: Star Rail 2.0 

My toxic trait as a hsr player is that I can't understand a character's kit until this girl explains it to me like I'm 10 years old

Sevy literally is the best guide for me ❤ She explains things so well and in the simplest way possible!

I've said before, and everyone else is saying it in the comments as well. But it still warrants repetition. Your guides are simply the best coz you break down the kits in ways that are easy to understand. Small stuff like the situational examples of how Arcana interacts with different specifc DoTs is so helpful. Thanks once again Ate Sevy.

You’re always my first stop when a new character comes out 💕

So, for anyone who plays genshin who doesn't fully understand the arcanana, essentially, Black Swan s like Nilou in the regards that she makes an an enhanced version of the elemental DOT that she applies, where she makes her own wind sheer, which also can be counted as every other DOT in the game each time DOT damage is dealt, there's a chance she'll apply another one of her specially wind sheer damage, so you can proc more arcanana by dealing DOT damage Her ultimate makes DOT stronger on enemies turn, and her skill decreases defense, Hopefully this was helpful

I always appreciate when guide makers are unbiased and don't show contempt towards any character when explaining team comps or even about the character themselves. You explained everything so concisely and it's really easy to understand, I appreciate you Sevy ❤️

Your Black Swan review is so detailed compared to others I have watched. Very clear and straightforward! With the other videos, I had to pause multiple times. Great job! 💯

Started hsr recently for Black Swan and managed to pull her, tysm for the guide because it's defo one of the clearer vids!

I AM NOT PULLING UNTIL SEVY'S DONE REVIEWING NEW CHAR

I watched 4 guides about this character and here is Sevy, the only person that made me understand this character without feeling convoluted. I guess other RU-vidrs just add too much stuff in between the explanation. Thank you so much for being direct and efficient, Sevy!!

i just got her early pity by accident whilst trying to get misha. i understand her kit on a basic level, but am so grateful for your guides because they enhance my understanding of the characters sm🙏

Thank you for the guide, Sevy! I can always count on you to explain a character's kit in a way that makes sense to me.

i was not planning to pull for her but i lose the 5050 when pulling for e2 kafka, so here we are. thankfully i got her early and more power for kafka as well 💪 thank you for the guide, you really made it easier for me to understand her kit

You have by far that best kit explanation for Black swan than any other content creator. Great video and keep up the great work!

Great vid.. the first part clarifying about the preference for variety of dot types really helped. Already been rocking Kafka's dot team few patches ago. I was contemplating if i needed to run Sampo and Black Swan together or i could opt for black swan only in Kafka's team

I've wanted her since her first trailer. E0S1 won 50/50 and 75/25. Our goddess game home.

Thank you so much Sevy you help me so much with Genshin and Hsr even though I’m experienced with both I always learn something watcing your videos. Your such a good vibe as well, truly the best creator in this space :)

Oh that info about detonate dot in between the elite’s turn is really usefull, it didn’t come across my mind when testing her earlier Thankss!!

Thank you so much for this guide! I felt so lost after i got Black Swan, not knowing what relics, or teams to put with her. You made this super easy for me to understand. Keep up the good work

Love your guides more than any other CCs! Thanks for always putting these out!

Looked at so many guides that really triggered me for multiple reasons (need kafka, need E1, need sig S5 etc) but yours is comprehensive, easy, calm and just makes me feel like I can have a good Black Swan without having to sacrifice my bank account

Absolutely love all your guides youre the first i go to for any content HSR-related. Also got super lucky i got BS in a few summons and got her light cone twice

always love your guides that covers everything about a character in an easily understandable way! as a dot enjoyer with e2s1 kafka she's such a fun and satisfying character to play, im very tempted to get her e1 as well but gotta save for sparkle >

New update means new Sevy character video!

Your guides are really well laid out and all mechanics properly explained so thank you for all the extra work you put into these . Happy to have stumbled onto one of your genshin guides a while back!

We love you Sevy! You're always the go to tutorial! So useful and light, very easy to understand with the pacing and carefully crafted video

I love you sevy your my favorite hsr RU-vidr your voice is so calming and I actually understand characters kits becuase of you. Your build videos are a lifesaver whenever I watch someone else’s build videos I’m always so confused. Your amazing can’t wait for the sparkle video.

Just got her and I always come here for characters explanations this channel has help me a lot on understanding thank you !!!

It will never get old how you are the best guide maker in both Genshin and HSR.

thanks so much for the guide! 💜 the only guide that REALLY helped me to understand her kit!

really good guide . One thing I didn't see many people doing guides mention, however, is that if u have Loucha with Huo Huo sig LC, he makes the team way more versatile then running huo huo and if you have his e1 or if you didn't pull huo/don't want to Loucha is a nice and versatile alternative, esp in making the break more versatile, looking at enemy patterns( in terms of typing in a battle) I think it will also be important for the future as we are starting to see varied typing in the same battle, massively also reduces amount of thought needed for managing SP and still provides good buffs depending on eidolon and investment you have in loucha

you’re my savior bc i wouldn’t be able to listen to a man explain this to me for 20 minutes

im so glad this is up already! i only look up your guides :'3 thank you as usual

Just like everyone says, the way you explained Black Swan's kit is really well done and very easy to understand

Thank you so much for the guideeeee!!!!!!

I've been playing this game for a while and thought I was good at it. Only to find out I'm trash and haven't been doing anything right. That is until I found this channel. I've learned so much about the characters and kits. You explain things so well. Thank you for all of your hard work.

thanks for this guide. Will be pulling her for my Acheron team.

It’s amazing how you already have this video out with such high quality! I love these guides sm

I will say this even though, the fact that Arcana debuff talent even carries towards the next enemy that appears is ridiculously busted

Thanks to this guide for not taking the low hanging fruit joke of 'tooltips too long to understand' and instead actually showcasing the interactions. The epiphany causing arcana to be triggered by Guinaifen ult has cemented my choice in using her as an offensive support in my Black Swan + Kafka dot team and use Pela for my Tingyun + Seele Hypercarry team. Though I may still use Asta in the dot team... just sucks that shes still only E1 for me ;_;

Can we appreciate how efficient she is like she is doing so much for us thank you Sevy ❤

I have really been enjoying my team with Black Swan + Kafka + Ratio. With her defense shred + dots making sure ratio is always following up it is a nice combo

Just got back to playing Star Rail. After watching this video, I can't believe I'm planning on rolling for Kafka and leveling up Sampo.

Welcome back Sevy! Great to see you back on track being our favorite guide maker! keep doing you! *I thought you'd steer clear of all that drama, but you got tied in unfortunately. Keep your head up, you are above all that childish behavior. I unsubbed/followed so many toxic CC's in the last few day,

Sevvy i need you. This guide was helpful compared to others. Please, for me, continue to make these

I literally got her this morning I needed this sm

Sevy explanation is my favourite because she explain it so well and in depth but also very easy to understand ❤

Not pulling for her, but wishing all the best to Black Swan wanters! Watching and commenting for the algorithm :)

i just pulled for her and got her this guide gonna help alot ty very much

Thanks, this helped! I thought her skill applied more stacks than her basic so I've been spamming that instead, that cleared that up. Also it's a neat trick to trigger ults during an enemies turn to take advantage of that buff

You've become my IRL alarm when the servers go online 😌

Won my 50 50(finally) at 70 pulls and tried my luck on the lightcone and got it on a one 10 pull🎉. Thanks for the detailed guide!

You cleared something no one else did that being her ultimate damage bonus applying to all attacks as long as its on thr enemy turn Many thanks

i'm not pulling for black swan but i love sevy's videos and how clear and easy to understand her explanations are, so here's a comment to appease the algorithm, and good luck to anyone who wants black swan!

I love how someone can just say their name and it becomes their catchphrase, we love u sevy!

So fast!! I'm still downloading the update 😂 but it is 3am here. So glad this is up will be coming back frequently

Looking forward that you make an archeron team comp and skill explanation as other RU-vidrs and advice from players really made me confused

Yay! Been waiting Sevy~

16:38 I've been using Trend of the Universal Market on Fire MC to turn him into a pseudo-DoT unit for my Kafka teams for a while now. Interesting to see it's finally getting some love out here

I wanna play nihility dot playtstyles, but I annoyed hom im expected to have kafka qwq

I always watch your videos for guide for both genshin and HSR bc its always clear and answers everything I need to know

Thankyou ate sevy you are my go to senpai when it comes to building my characters in the hoyoverse world ❤❤

my 5th video on trying to understand what her kit does and how to maximize it. will edit comment after to let y’all know if i understood or not lol. maybe i’m just dumb.

I actually pulled her a while back, but haven't used her because I'm admittedly a Sampo main, and I didn't fully take the time to research her playstyle. With Acheron around the corner, I have a renewed interest in going back through and learning more about some of the characters I have, so this has proven to be very helpful in determining if I need to build Black Swan... which it seems like is a good idea even though I don't have Kafka, Ruan Mei, or HuoHuo... XD

Always thanks for including her auto-battle behaviour. Useful thing to consider

Ty Sevy, I pulled Black Swan rn with the free 10 pulls they gave, came straight to your channel bc I knew you’d have one ready .

basically she boosts a certain team archetype like nilou but black swan doesn't have any restrictions at all

I just want to add that when black swan uses her ult her dot changes from a wind shear type dot to a universal dot so luka and gwenaifen can detonate her dots for that one turn

19:12 got her for 80 wishes 💜 caelus really wanted her for reasons owo so pretty, i only trust her

Wonderful as always! Thanks for the guide :)

I believe starting from her E2 she pretty much can be the only DoT on the team. As by default every enemy will have at least one stack of arcana from the very beginning. So killing a small enemy will give us +6 stacks to the enemies beside. Which will result in 7 stacks.

very good guide i pulled her yesterday i'm using kafka swann ruan mei and lynx dont have loucha or huo huo yet

She Makes it So easy to understand something i struggled to understand it after reading her skills ❤😂

having e1 huohuo and e1 kafka, this sounds like a win, now i just need to get her, i'll be rewatching this guide multiple times if i ever get her tho

I ammm a D.O.T lover, but i have no warps left😢

I got her and the E1 from 1 10 pull :) gonna love her with my E1 kafka lol

A streamer told me black swan is NOT suitable with kafka since he pairs her with acheron💀💀💀 anyway this is the most detailed guide ive seen! Time to sub ^^

Is it better to use s5 Before the Tutorial Starts or s3/s4 Eyes of Prey? Pls I need to know what to upgrade 😅

hey I love your tutorials, can you maybe do a video on the new 4 star light cones?

Sampo never leaves me alone, I LITERALLY HAVE EIGHT, *EIGHT* EYES OF THE PREY.

I love DoT teams. Just realised that it's my absolute favorite kind of team. I already built Dr. Ratio but i always prefered attacking in multi-target style rather than single target. Although i don't have jades nor ticket anymore, already spent everything on Imbibitor Lunae‘s banner - without getting him. Guess i‘ll farm more and the free daily tickets will help me (F2P BTW).

DOT enthusiast here, glad I won my 50/50 on her even tho I'm now at 0s, might try for E1 tho

Nice vid Sevy, keep up the good work

i only started playing last month and managed to get kafka on her rerun and now black swan along with her light cone on back to back pulls (what are the chances) I also managed to get guinaifen up to e6 while pulling for black swan and since i don't have many characters being still new. the current only team that i think i might use with her is black swan, kafka, guinaifen, and gepard or natasha.

tysm!!! i always go to your guide first

cannot explain my appreciation for you and my adoration for your guides. i got her 70 pulls early with a guarantee. just debating whether or not i want dan heng or her light cone...thank you sexy.

HELLO MOTHER

sevy, the best guide-girl of the whole HSR community! but i have a doubt, is Black Swan better than sampo?

I managed to get her within 5 pulls (saved 70 pity and a guarantee from Blade's banner), then decided to try pulling her signature lightcone, I'm so happy that I got it within 38 pulls! Now my ultimate Kafka simp team is completed! 😂😂

Great guide as always Sevy! Personally i am skipping black Swan, in favor of Imbibitor Lunae because i don't play DoT, but best of luck to all Black Swan wanters! ☺

Everyone: good guide! Me who hasn't started new area: is that a T Rex?

Thanks, these character details are so beyond me without help

I literally got E1 Kafka just before Black Swan's release so I am not expecting anything. But I won just today 😭 and now I'm here while building her.

love this and all your guides. Fingers crossed for the 50/50

hey sevy! are you going to make a review of the new MoC/pure fiction lightcones? I want to buy them but I want to hear your thoughts first. you’re my fave guide maker! (tried posting this before but it didn’t go thru for some reason)

Omg love this, my team will be Kafka, Black Swan, Asta and Lynx. My issue is with my Lynx and SP management, I have her in Bailu's Lightcone and E5 but she can't really sustain my team for longer fights since Kafka and Asta consume a lot of SP. But I think this time I will be fine since Black Swan is more SP positive unit compared to Sampo and Lynx is running the healer set which gives extra SP. I really wanna maximize my DoT teams.

Cant wait til they release a DoT healer, maybe with an effect like SU's Offerings of Deception. Heal the team whenever enemies take DoT DMG.

Love you Sevy! Thank you for all the guides! ❤

Sevy thank you so much for explaining black swan! I've wanted her, but god was her dot mechanic hard for me to understand.

Hey Sevy, love your guides and content!! If u can, can u put "end game general status" in the relic section? I always fell lost with the %s of my relics. Hugs and Love from Brazil
