Damn this was some cool ass insight as a free to play player. Looking forward to the future content you cook up when you got the time for f2pSmack. Solid progression so far. I can already see how fun those moc streams finna be
@@ladyknight9000 Well i mean if none of the content creators hyping up tof when it first came out are talking about it unless is a sponsorship, I think that says plenty
Yo what the heck, when you mentioned thundering I was thinking wow it was just raining here in Houston too. Crazy that ACTUALLY you’re from Houston too 😂
Yeah; I've dreamt that he's a hybrid preservation DPS, I should have enough jades to get him and Topaz, considering I already have Ratio It'd be dumb for me not to, considering that I also like all 3 characters.
@@tiopanola Do you expect every spenders to have 0 self control and try to build every character? Thanks for the snarky comment to make something seem positive when it's clearly a limitation of being F2P lol
Wow now that's a relatable account! 😂 At least the available play time part. I do always get the $5 pass and my account is day 1 so naturally I'm lightyears ahead, but man I felt that time thing. I'm working 9 to 5, sole provider for my family and while I don't have a second Star Rail acc, I do play Genshin. Yeah that 30-40 min per day thing fits me pretty well lol.
If I were to make an alt account, I would probably run DoT team and a Jingliu team. Kafka's DoT team is so flexible to the point that it was performing well with just 4 star DoT units. Black Swan is the first 5 star and the team slaps across the board. You need physical? Luka. You need fire? Guinaifen. You need wind? Black Swan / Sampo. At the same time, it requires less relic grind since you are not on the mercy of crit rolls. Meanwhile, Jingliu is just a beast of a unit. Give her S1 and she will kill everything regardless if they have ice weakness or not
Literally my main (f2p) Main core: double dps JingLiu (E0 S1) Blade (E0 S0) and dot team with Kafka (E1 S0) and Black Swan (E0 S1) + Ruan Mei Now i save everything for HuoHuo and Topaz
thank you for making this video, after seeing other F2P accounts it made me feel like im doing something wrong and was questioning if im playing the game correctly but watching this video made me realise that its not the fact im trash but the fact Tectone is just too good
Also as a f2p casual account you can just auto events and collect what you need, and maybe a 2nd run if you don't hit all the rewards. Definitely saves time on events.
If you ever get a chance, would love to see "guides" on tackling MoC and PF with this account. This account is definitely more relatable to me than the max-refresh zero-cycle whale account guides. But do what you need to do to put the food on the table. Really respect you Gacha! 🦾
Ditto on this. As much as I like low cycle showcases, I'd love to see a weaker account and how he innovates with limited resources to clear on time. Obviously have to see if it does well with algo
I would like to say I may have e1 bronya and sparkle as a F2P. But I’m still jealous of others who do have Ruan Mei. Your account looks better than my 2nd F2P (10 months life time). That’s really cool
People overvalue having a 1:2 crit ratio too much, every 1 point of rate is the same as 2 points of damage so 60/120 and 70/100 are effectively the same, and less cancer since you miss less. Love ya Smack!
I’ve started my second account a week ago, and it’s been looking pretty good. Only problem is my only harmony character is asta, no joke. I didn’t get even a single tingyun in rolls. And I don’t have a good Lc for my pela😢
Topaz in slot 2, my man. Kinda surprised you went with Topaz tho. I love Topaz, but even at s1e2, I am still underwhelmed, no chance I would pick her up on a f2p acc if I had one.
For events, just do one stage a day. That and using stamina can easily be relegated to time spent on the toilet and not eat into anything else you have on your plate. For anyone who is free to play for their only account, get the bp if you can swing it. It gives so many level and lc mats you dont ever have to waste stam on them and can solely focus on traces and relics.
Tbh as a day 1 f2p player I'd say this account is just at the bare minimum So it's nice seeing a different perspective for once Tho to be fair if you've been playing since day 1 as f2p Your account is basically gonna be better than this I'm talking about mine respectfully
Same here I haven't done gears etc. Cux of lack of time. I do every event tho since they give plenty of time to finish them. About a month so about one try a day to advance eventually clearing it. Same for Simulated Unierse and MOC. Do one floor a day before the week reset
9:08 with that in mind, as a f2p when i got JY light cone in 30 pulls, my qq and JY damage skyrocketed like crazy. There's like a large difference between 4 star LC and "Before Dawn" Even now i believe its one of the best universal light cones. Imagine before dawn gave basic attack damage too along with skill and ult dmg.
Same here I pulled Before Dawn and put it on Himeko. I was struggling to get to 35k in pure fiction, and I got to 40k in a couple of tries after that change 👍🏼
Very nice, I have an alt that is welkin only. I do about the same. I started on sw first banner. I got sw,loucha, and fu xuan as the first limited 5 stars. I wanted two top tiers sustained immediately. I saved a ton for blade and got really lucky es2s1. I took jingliu on her release with the idea to pair with them. I wanted them to be my main team. I got to floor 10 with less trace investment than you. It's a just for fun account. I'm going all in on acheron and skipping her on my main. Pela,loucha, blade and jingliu Ratio, tingyun, sw and fu xuan
imagine if Pokke is gonna react on this again sheesh also to add too Smack you also forgot that Fire and Ice are so commonly paired on PF and sometimes on MoC which the enemies are the IPC elite and the Ice Grizzly
> Mama! Mama! Now I understand! The meaning of the AT field! You were always protecting me! Always watching over me! Love to see Asuka in a video game, not sure it's worth the psychic damage.
Just saying, even tho you probably know but Aven is a sustain and a FUA character if i remember correctly. I know he does FUAs but I'm not sure he counts as sustain
@@bepo1702 idk. Honestly I have no clue what sustain actually entails. To me there’s DPS DoTs Supports Shielders and Healers. I presume sustainer is the overall name for shielders and healers but idk
The pains of an inconsistent account look so annoying .. I'll never understand how so many casual players don't quit over it. Playing since release and so far only got 3 monthly passes, zero BPs, and I haven't done a single character exp, LC exp, or credit Calyx since the early TL 30s - thanks to grinding overworld every day for months on the side while watching anime. Still getting all my characters to 80 and with the power it saves (80+ a day its insane) I can level my traces to 9 or 10. But yeah, even if almost F2P that's timewhale territory. Though I also have yet to max out Swarm, let alone do a single Golden Gears run - but I'm still good on jades and those don't go away so.. The only thing you can't get more for free is LC exp, but I refuse to pull 5 star LCs so you kinda get enough to max out the ones you use with events and expeditions.
Thats a really nice account i gotta say. I also need to pick up the pace on the grind on my normal(semi-FTP) account though mainly becouse i've been playing other games, so usually when a new update comes out, i do the story and any event with good upgrades(and get all the free pulls ofc) and then i let it lie for a month till i have time to spend the maxed out stamina on grinding, couse SU and such really is't that exiting to me anymore. I usually play with a healer in the group and actually barely use Harmony characters(Tingyun? who's that?) so i wonder if it really makes that much of a difference dps wise.
im f2p i have a main account and a second account i started 2days b4 sparkle but the focus i have on the second acc is 4star dps with 5 star support and sustains.
i think if you'd spend the same amount of time to grind the f2p acct as your main, then you will be way further ahead. I run 3 accounts with my f2p being just as built as my other 2 f2p+ and p2w. Actually I'm sure my f2p acct is way better than my other 2 since I have full BiS dot team + LC. Kafla + blackswan is just completely broken. It helps that I don't have to worry about cringe crit rolls on the f2p. Still feels like im always on the edge with resources though, but its def manageable.
Yea the dot team is actually so nice to build compared to crit dps. Only thing is for moc its hard to brute force without really strong investment, also u need 2 teams
@@inventedbaton958forreal moc was a problem before the free ratio. Now floor 12 is all but guaranteed. This being all of my accounts only having 1 team fully built. ratio was a god send
I know we're F2P players but you make it sound like we're playing on a "Merciless" Mode of the game lmao (Resouces aren't too scarce at least if you skip every other banner and not be dumb enough to lvl every character if they're not used lol)
For him he has a family and he own his own business he doesn’t spend as much time as a average f2p player does. I respect putting your family first. I think he really is in merciless mode because of that honesty
@@mr.parham8773 yeah just look at how much content he's been skipping. it really is more of a wasteland of resources lol. he's probably on par with like a regular 3 month old f2p account in terms of resources.
I'm also f2p, for a shorter time, but I have more/better characters than he does. However, I am so much worse off regarding relics and MOC progression. How is he doing it? What am I missing?
