Firefly doesn't deserve this... | Honkai Star Rail 

"There hasn't been that much story about the bugs", The swarm disaster: 🗿

7:05 Kets' lvl50 characters being forced to fight the swarm bugs for the 50th time

I expected the animated short to be sad, but I didn't expect it to be this gruesome. I kinda like how hard they went with it, to really emphasize how scary the swarm was.

You know what i really like about kets reactions, its whenever something really bad happens on screen you can feel his "oOOOOoooo"

Just realized after someone tell me, the firefly with red cloth is not for censoring, but their depiction of gore turned into art. So yeah, they are very thoughtful about entire wcene

The cool Sam in the first trailer was based off a concept design for Firefly, sick as hell tho

Funny to hear “We haven’t gotten much lore on the Swarm” when that was the whole point of Simulated Universe: Swarm Disaster, so here’s a quick run down. Basically there was a race of bugs that, by some event, was wiped out. The final survivor was so lonely it ascended to become Tayzzyronth, the Aeon of Propagation. THEY then started mass reproducing, creating offspring so fast it caused a universal disaster. It took 5 Aeons to bring Tayzzyronth down, and even then THEY’RE not dead, just sealed away. The Swarm still exists today in a much smaller capacity, but it still causes disasters for many worlds. Glamoth is one of the planets that was attacked by the Swarm. In order to destroy it, the government created an “Empress” called Titania, who could control and command the Sams. Then they created (thought to be from clones of her) genetically modified warriors, all of whom piloted Sams and suffered Entropy-Loss Syndrome, the condition Firefly has that slowly degenerates her body. The soldiers all believed that Glamoth was this great empire, which gave them a cause to fight for even though they were essentially cannon fodder. They did sorta win, but something happened that ended the world either way. In fact this battle is theorized to take place after Glamoth’s fall on a nearby planet or one of its moons, with these last few Sams remaining to wipe the remnants of the Swarm unaware that the cause they’re fighting for is gone.

Btw, Glammoth was a planet. It has a planar ornament set too. The iron cavalry was Glammoth’s army against the swarm, but eventually Glammoth fell due to the swarm. Hope that helps give context for the vid

I'm not the only one who was sobbing after this right??? My heart was literally breaking

Genuinely terrifying. Seeing the animation short completely changed how I see the swarm. The game doesn’t do it justice for showing how horrific they are.

Then there's Ruan Mei trying to play god and create an Emanator of these bugs (Scaracabaz) , knowing full well the threat level these things pose...

Darkness and depression has always been part of honkai. Buckle up, ShaoJi's finally adding the "honkai" to star rail Also check out the HI3rd animated shorts if ya havent already

Thank god Preservation smacked the shit out of the Propagation

The swarm was a menace

Firefly's past has become one of the reasons to pull her at any cost!

Best way to end that short was exactly what they did: show us some animated Kaf... KUH

Firefly in Swarm Disaster 5: "NOW IT'S PERSONAL". Firefly is gonna be so fun to play. I already got all her level up and trace materials to max her up. I plan on sending Swarm Disaster 5 as well as Gold and Gears to our Lord and Savior IX.

the fourth sam unit that they showed is actually based on concept art for it

There is a bit of lore about the planet Glamoth and it's empress Titania in the game ties to the relic set. I'm heavily paraphrasing, but the planet Glamoth was invaded by the swarm during the same time as rest of the Swarm disaster shown in the Simulated Universe. In order to fight back the swarm, they created clones based on the empress Titania. It was a numbers game, and at a certain point the numbers of dead SAM units and Swarm ended up blotting out the sun, bringing the end to Glammoth. It seems like the units kept fighting, leading to this scene here. Btw, this all happened several astral eras ago, meaning Firefly has been drifting in space for what was probably thousands of years before Kafka found her.

the saddest short we've seen so far Edit: I remember Kafka saying she likes watching planets die (i could be wrong)

The Swarm is legit scary, when their Aeon was still alive, Tazzyronth the Propagation, they can clone themselves infinitely from the Path of Propagation. Its one of the worst disaster ever happened to the Honkai universe. The Swarm's clash with another Aeon, Ouroboros the Voracity, killed 2/3 of the universe. And it took the cooperation between 5 Aeons to take Tazzyronth down, and the Aeon is still alive, only sealed by Qlipoth.

so glamoth's is the planet, their plan to fight the swarm was to basically mass produce soldiers who were loyal to a program they made named queen titania they did this as a way to keep them controlled and obedient and focused on their mission to destroy the bugs, if the short is any indication it did not work as well as they hoped

My emotions are rising when I watch this animated short, it's really great😭

There is a swarm story also in SU that explaining how the Swarm disaster that almost destroyed the entire universe Swarm in the game is scary, even tho Tazzy get beat by multiple aeon he still didn't died until now they just seal them in the ember by Preservation

So, what the SAM pilots are referring to as "Glamoth" and "Her majesty", is, it all started from a number of people, who created Titania, the Empress, and they used her to create clones of her, which are Firefly's race of humans. Hence why all the SAM pilots share visual traits. Glamoth's royal empire was nothing but a lie. Titania was created to have a sort of psychic link with all the SAM pilots, and the pilots had their loyalty to Titania drilled into their heads, to the point they are willing to die for her. Even after she died. The SAM pilots were used to fight the Swarm, but the number of SAMs grew so frequently, to the point the people grew fear in them and Titania. To the point Glamoth was fighting with itself. Eventually, those in Glamoth perished, because the war against the Swarm went so horrible they blocked out their own planet's sunlight. These SAM pilots in this video, are the last remaining of those clones most likely. They weren't fighting the Aeon of Propagation, not even an Emanator. That large bug was that bug boss we fought in Simulated Universe. I'm probably doing a poor job explaining Firefly's lore. I suggest you look up somewhere the lore behind the fallen Glamoth empire. Almost anyone else in the know would do the lore explanation of this better than me. The Aeon of Propagation was only stopped because multiple Aeons cooperated with each other to deal with the Aeon of Propagation. All the sacrifices the SAMs made with their lives, all that did was slightly hold back the number Swarm bugs before the Aeons could deal with the Propagation. Even Firefly blowing up the planet or moon we see in this video to eliminate the Swarm on there, didn't deal a significant blow to the power of numbers of entities the Swarm possessed. Keep in mind though, that the Swarm Disaster took place very very long ago, so Kafka seeing Firefly there is likely after a HUGE timeskip. And since Firefly is an artificial human, she probably is allot older than she looks. And more resilient Kafka clearly would not be able to live that long

Your reactions always hit! We have the same fave scene! Smth about Firefly throwing hands on some bugs was so cool

That trailer really made the swarm look terrifying ngl. They did really go hard with the animation, which was pretty cool 🔥🔥🔥

fyi: Those Swarm war taken place way before even Nanook and Yaoshi became an Aeon

Hoyoverse is going to replace Disney one day. The writing, story, music and animation they are cooking are a whole 'nother level.

Kets “Hello” meanwhile girl casually dying Kets again “you good?” 😂 oh lord Kets never change

If the Aeon of Propagation is still alive, then is Elio's end goal to have the all the current Aeons glance upon the trailblazer so they can gave him the power need to exterminate that it once and for all.

The swarm did have some lore in SU , short version is they were literally a universal threat cause they were multiplying so fast, that even the aeons themselves were like "naaaah we gotta put an end to this" and one tapped their aeon (tayzzyronth the propagation)

Like soon there be a whole anime episode style for a video trailer

So Glamoth was the name of the planet and the empire that fought against the Swarm. The created a super soldier named Titania who was the empress of Glamoth and could control the SAM mechs but realised they could clone Titania which made all the Fireflys to pilot the mechs instead so the Firefly we know is a clone of Titania to pilot the SAM mech to fight the swarm but both Titania and Glamoth were destroyed before this trailer and then Firefly destroyed Glamoth ending the war. They said during the livestream that there could be more SAM's still out there but we don't know for sure.

makes you wanna go swarm disaster SW and kick some bug butt

WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO MORE REACTIONS!

Sorry, but it's time to roast Kets for not reading Swarm Disaster pages, and the Glamoth planar ornaments.

Glamoth is the planet and all the Sams were part of the Glamoth Iron Cavalry. I think all the pilots were clones of Glamoth's empress

Glamoth is the planert kets 😂 They are clone of her majesty The ermpress the queen titania

New Helldivers difficulty looking 🔥🔥🔥

11:59 gorgeous, and sad. I wanted to visit that planet

Tazzyroth giant bug aeon of propagation

Finally got a good reaction from you. Thanks Kets. It was worth watching until the end.

5:16 the swarm lore is in the swarm disaster simulated universe, correct me if I'm wrong. That game mode pretty much tells the story of how the swarm disaster happened and how it ended.

Glamoth is the name of the planet

LORE stuff if you all are interested -Glamoth is the empire named "The Repluclic of Glamoth" they genitically engineered the Iron cavalry. -All of them are made to have short life span and be mass produced to keep up with the swarm. -entropy loss syndrome is something everyone of the SAM have not just firefly most likely to make them not live long enough to be a threat after the swarm is over -each iron calvary is made in the likeness of "her majesty Empress Titania" -Titania can communicate all the SAMs but she herself is controlled by Glamoth who have fed the Iron cavaly the dream that they are loved by the Empire and are dying with honor when in reality the people fear them and athey are being used as cannon fodder ---you can read more on the Glamoth relic set from world 8 (or just the wiki its quite fun) -that was a minor swarm in the trailer -the swarm was at its peak affected 2/3 of the universe -one of there emantors (being bless by an aeon/god) Skaracabaz is called "the Starcrusher" and it's meant literally. Because it would crush an entire star, but the explosion wasn't one of heat but an entire supernova sized sting swarm. -aeon ascended because it was lonely can read more about them in swarm disaster (or just the wiki its makes more sense with better UI)

I think the swarm is most mystery and dangerous bug in hsr

There will be a third trailer on Monday which may have some gameplay spoilers. So probably wait a bit. Also the Sam at the end of the myriad celestia is actually the beta version of Fireflys Sam. Lastly God I'm early to a kets video 😂

Oooo u should watch all the anime clips at this point

It's nice to see the Swarm animated, so we have a visual of just how terrible they are. I hope we can get more lore told visually because there's a lot from Swarm Disaster.

Glamoth is the planet that Firefly and the other genetically modified soldiers in S.A.M. suits were told to defend. It was ruled by a monarch ( "the empress" Titania), and Firefly and her "siblings" were created to be the shock troopers to deal with the Swarm specifically. What you saw was the dead husk of the planet after the Swarm had already essentially butchered and sucked up all the resources of the planet. SAM's were essentially told "fight to the death for duty and honor, no matter what", which is why they were still on that rock fighting even when nothing was left. EDIT: So I was wrong. The empress was named. Correction in the comment originally.

13:12 why do you think the Aeons wanted to kill this infestation off? don't forget that they can multiply at rapid speeds

Glamoth is the name of her home planet and Firefly and the others were cloned based off of the empress/her majesty to fight the Swarm that invaded her planet. Also, if you think about it, if Tazzyronyth(Aeon of Propagation/Headless Bug Aeon) propagates in more and more bugs, doesn’t it make those bugs also Tazzyronyth or mini Tazzyronyths?

Kets can you pull for firefly and then bring here revenge by killing the swarm disaster at the simulated universe

Saved 240 pulls since Acheron banner as ftp for firefly

Now i feel more bad after spent all of her saving....

All the Swarm lore is in the SU their animation team is really improving when you compare it to the Jingliu one

fun fact that battle happened during the end of the swarm disaster as Glamoth it self was lost during the middle of the disaster am unsure how but mite be cause they made the iron cavalry that was specifically meant to fight off the swarm, they where made so they grow up faster due to them being vat grown but also aren't meant to live long (if you know clone troopers from star wars basically those) meaning all of them had the same ELS (Entropy Loss Syndrome) but in return they got some sickass powers one being able to operate the S.A.M ( Firefly Type-IV Strategic Assault Mech) hella more effectively (there is a google or i think even some videos on all the things it can do.. also you did fight one during the main story as well, tho that one was canonically holding back) as for the swarm.. well the once you have encountered are the remnants of it so they aren't that strong (tho in the argenti story mission you did get swallowed by one.. yes they can get that big or even bigger)

I love that even if Firefly Model SAM suits are made to fight the swarm with fire and explosions, most of the swarm enemies actually has no fire weakness (all except for one)

Glamoth is their home world kets, it got merked by the swarm. they where born just to fight back.

Fun fact, Firefly is actually older than Nanook! Also, I don’t think they’re clones of anyone, but they were created specifically to fight and die quickly after.

The Swarm lore is in the Sim Universe 👌

I thought I knew what peak was before I watched this. I was wrong

Glamoth was an interstellar Empire and the only civilization to halt the swarm without intervention from an Aeon during the Swarm Disaster. It came at the cost of their entire civilization though. There don't seem to be many survivors. The Iron Cavalry if I remember correctly are all artificially created humans based off the DNA of the Empress of Glamoth. They don't seem to be one for one copies but they are more or less clones, hence the shared looks. There does seem to be both men and women. As for FF blowing up the planet they were on, I suspect it was either tapping into the path of destruction (Nanook would approve of blowing up a planet for sure) or perhaps the suits just have that much power. I think the former is more likely.

She truly is our special

Now we have "For Democracy" and "For her Highness" this year. Now to see how much her Bounty is when her trailer comes out.

Glamoth is their home planet btw

Glamoth is Firefly's home planet.

Given that the soldiers are all "similar but different", they're probably grown in a lab or something . People keep saying that they're clones of Titania, the (possibly made-up) "Empress", but that's not said anywhere; the relic set just says Glamoth "altered human essence" to "create weapons born to fight".

I still can't figure out how old is Firefly since the swarm disaster happened ages ago. I mean I get that we have those bugs at the present time of the story, but there ain't no way that Glammoth's destruction happened recently. But then there is Kafka in that short. Did Firefly drift around in space for ages until they found her March 7th style, or did the Glammoth's iron cavalry manage to survive from the swarm dissaster that happened ages ago to fight the remaining swarm? Then again, the age of Pela is also questionable, so I'll just stop trying to make sense of some details of Honkai universe.

There's a bunch of swarm story in the Swarm Disaster game mode.

glamoth is a relic set

The girl that walked up to firefly, that red cloak was a way to get around blood censorship Im pretty sure. Like half her body just straight up gone

Crazy knowing argenti 1V1 that kind of bug and won is insane

Hi Kest Glamoth is the planet

Wow that very sad and goresome it crazy she survived that explosion now i know why some planets didn't make it the swarm really is a disaster 😢

First time early! (Edit: 3 mins late only!)

It's crazy to think that Ruan Mei tried to create a monster that could wipe out an entire planet just for her morbid curiosity.

Notes to Kets: Glamoth: A nation that battled the Swarm. They made genetically modified humans that can control those SAMs to battle them beetles. Titania: Empress of Welkin Empire of Glamoth. She can control those SAMs telepathically via the knights that use them. Also, it would make sense if this is whom Firefly and the gang are cloned from. P.S. This all available in-game and not a leak. You can read more on the Glamoth set found on World 8 of Simulated Universe. Edit:detail & wording changes

11:17 you just got g’nomed!

My baby girl 😍

Quite Ironic, a bunch of firefly warriors fighting a Swarm of bugs. That Swarm Mother also appeared in Argenti’s quest and it swallowed the Express. Very nice trailers.

meanwhile ruan mei "i kinda want to recreate that thing..."

Fireflies vs some horny bugs

these trailers made me sad cuz i'll have to wait till her rerun to pull for her

Fun fact the swarm was created because of loneliness

guys remember Argenti is soloing this bugs MTF HOW STRONG IS THAT GUY

Glamoth is the empire that engineered the clones and SAM mechs. The Republic of Glamoth fell after the end of the Swarm Disaster and their remaining knights fought to the death killing the remnants of the Swarm after the fall of their Aeon. Kafka finds Firefly floating in stasis hundreds or maybe thousands of years later?

strongest Glamoth soldier: i.. i gotta blow up my comrades to defeat le big scawwy bug weakest Idrila simp: I shall dive into the belly of the beast alone to buy these beautiful stranger some time to escape

They say Glamoth used to be a vast empire with multiple star systems with influence rivaling the IPC And all The Iron Cavalry SAMs was cloned from Empress Titania..the first ever SAM

Just leaving A Comment here

W need more hsr animation 🙂

Well guys ah. Clone wars.

The biggest problem about this lore is that the only part of the game that talks about this is only aviable through *reading*

Glamoth is the planet lol

Under 1 hour gang.

Bro Sams ultimate reminds me of shinning finger IFKYK

Infinity war

What the actual fuck was ruan mei trying to resurrect-
