How Did Himeko Get So Strong? | Honkai: Star Rail 

That's literally the message of this video in a nutshell LOL

I didn't get her early enough to use outside of her tutorial appearance, so I just assumed she needed better relics to be used more effectively. Boy was I glad I had started farming those relics when pf showed up.

Beside PF, she is always mediocre and still is. She certainly benifit a lot from recent meta, but after this version, her mediocrity will probably become more apparent again. I dont know what kind of drug does VarsII take would make him commont on himiko's strength based on current meta, which is extremely biased toward fire weakness. As he said, himiko's weakness is always too situational and rely too much on fire weakness enermy. No fire weakness=>hard to trigger her passive=>no dmg .The current version of the game is the best she can get and there wont be too much room for her to grow. There is still probability that himeko can do well in the future, depending what character mihoyo wanted to promote over that whole 2.x(something like jingliu in 1.x), I dont think there is a single MoC 12 missing ice weakness after jingliu and before acheron come out. If that character is selected to be FF, then himiko may still have some chance to be good, but I dont think it would as rediculous as current meta anyway since there are they need to promote in each meta.

​@@VarsII you must be some kind of a dumbass

@@HandleName_CB but she is gourgeous

So PEAK!

Real.

wait what does this mean?

@@yusha5807have you finished penacony story ? Because that’s the reference

That line was ass

Also robin

Don't you mean fine coffee?

​@@shai310There's alcoholic coffee.

Nah, the whole moc rn is tailored for FF and BH(mostly FF) Enemies on floor 12 literally only require breaking the shield and they all get vulnerability. Also the introduction of Gallagher

Himeko and Ruanmei fully star fiction for me, love em

Isn't f2p firefly xuieyi?

true, i used her to get 36* in my ff team before getting ff

How about standard banner firefly then?

Asta - RNG FF Guinaifen - F2P FF Himeko - Poor man's FF

​@@treasure9342 No imo. Xueyi can be hybrid and has it's own thing for her.

I promise 140k subscribers is not underrated. Vars is doing just fine

Lol people call me a professional yapper 😂

@@VarsIIyou are ❤ but it’s a compliment for you

​@@VarsIIthen shut up

As a person who loves yalling, with right poeple I enjoy this channel😂🤌​@@VarsII

No stop😭😭

@@fordzfinland6862 Nah, This Himeko is Never gonna let you go Never gonna turn around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never did and finally she is meta.

It's why I did them all.

NIGHTGLOW!!!!!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

Inb4 Vars makes another 100 dollar bet

If we get abundance of aoe character then she will likely go out from pure fiction meta

​@@KobeEscalante😂😂

Next next year Vars II: why no one play Himeko? Next next next year Var II : what happen to Himeko? Holy shiet infinity money glitch

True, not to mention that Firefly's technique applies fire weakness to all enemies which is also really effective for Himeko.

Great to know my mono fire team I've been building will be better than I expected lol.

This is awesome . I will try them together but does anyone know how good they are with each other?

Pretty damn good in pure fiction if running FF/hmc/rm/himeko.

​@@Kspice9000does this makes the rotation goes stun on the enemy side? Because wouldn't it be risky to not have any sustain?

It wasn't nonsense. The only reason pure fiction exists is because the devs didn't make enemies and scenarios that let erudition characters shine. Then they made pure fiction so now erudition has its uses

@@isshonsaha8673they created pure fiction because people were complaining, not because Erudition had no places. If anything, it’s hunt that we’re in the hardest spot, except Seele, but she doesn’t really function like other hunts, and is thus much better.

@@isshonsaha8673 holy cope

Same people who said Yanqing was best 5* DPS in game 😂 oh how the tables turn.

It was a problem for the longest time, because even when bosses had minions , once those were gone, you just had a much more beefy boss, which Himeko struggled against. PF and SB were almost tailor made for characters like her to bring them into the meta. Even now she's rated super low for MOC.

You can do so even better with Firefly who can be used universally anywhere without fire weak mobs. Gallagher is good but just note he will be tied to fire weak stages just like Himeko.

Yup I can even 0 cycle MoC with them.

for real, i even gave her dance dance dance to dish out as much as possible turn and make her 180spd 😂

YESSSSSS

Protect the beauty of this world 😢

"What happened to Himeko" Imaginary space

Agreed. This is why Firefly is her best partner now.

Yanqing just needs a specific support to boost him up. Which can easily happen depending on various ways they expand on gameplay. He very much feels like a "HSR Keqing" to me.

@@amandaslough125 Himeko is more like HSR Keqing. Keqing got buffed by dendro. Himeko got buffed by PF and super break. Yanqing has no niche and is competing with RRAT team and Boothill, and loses massively. Aventurine fixed his passive uptime issue but his damage is just lacking.

​@@amandaslough125 I cannot emphasize this enough, 100% uptime on Soulsteel Sync still has him doing worse than a lot of characters. He brings nothing special other than a chance to freeze enemies, and good luck counting on that to carry you. Jingliu gets similar crit/dmg amp and similar damage ratios. She is better for SP, has action advance, and cleaves.

You would use Firefly, Himeko, RM, HMC in PF now. I don't see how Herta fits on this team. Losing too many buffs. Better to use Herta with Jade if you pull her.

@@zytenespada6564 My thought was Firefly, Himeko, Herta and Jade.

Very lucky. Instead I have just Himeko E0...from the selector...after spending a lot of jades on it... I play HSR just to play her (I bruteforced a lot of contents with her since 1.3), I pulled JY's for her. Now I want only more Eidolons, but she ( and Clara) don't exist in my games.

same, didn't reroll because I like her anyway, but now she is arguably the best standard 5 star

Boothill is great, but he got omegaskipped for Firefly, so saying that she invented the Break meta is more correct in most people’s eyes

@@f.b.iagent3971 ^

​@@f.b.iagent3971 Boothil got that yoimiya treatment

Imagine being in the banner right before Firefly kekw

​​@@mooseking_x3That would be Argenti, his banner is before a turbo broken character (RM) or after one (FF and Boothill)

Wym welt the only character who is not power crept by a limited 5 star hw will go up when his kit becomes useful to someone

Yeah he is one of the only one who has not got power crept just not useful in any team yet

He got a relic set He got planet ornament Characters that could support him And content for erudition

As long as she can use yunli’s light cone, then I have no complaints
