Yeah I agree, her kit isn't overloaded and she's an amazing option for f2p players mainly because you don't get any imaginary damage dealer early on (unless you managed to get Welt) so having access to her is really good imo.
@@dazzle810he had somewhat of a comeback with acheron as a “sustain unit” but using welt as a sustain is so gimmicky and impractical nobody really does that
I think they re trying to make a really meta mono imaginary team for now the team march 7th imaginary MC and aventurine is a pretty good trio but we need the last one
I appreciate it as I love the game but switching elements every battle makes it not feel super good imo. My brother says he rather play Pokemon than this. But I need faceroll teams. The older I get the less time I have to play so it helps to have teams that lessen the strategy aspect of the game.
I don't really think that's gonna happen because they've already laid the groundwork for March to go around acquiring new paths like this as she makes new memories on your adventures. If anything they'll keep adding new kits like this to the same character that you can swap between. Adding a separate 5* March on top of that would just be weird.
you know a 5 star march is not happening right. And I am glad, one 5 star version vs many 4 star versions, I know what I would pick, and what is more versatile and more future oriented.
@@puenboy1 m4a1 goes from cinnamon roll to war crimer real quickly, ar15 and sop mod too, the main team just become monsters "Now" we have R0 mod 3 that makes her even stronger
even if March isn't the best for Firefly Firefly will probably be the best for getting March points. when you take the speed buff from Firefly's burst into account I'm pretty sure Firefly is the fastest character in the game by quite a margin (only real competition is E2 Seele, but then Firefly's E2 basically copies Seele's entire gimmick so that's about fair). throw on Jade for the extra speed from Debt Collector (and Firefly even has built-in healing to counteract the damage) and maybe someone like Asta for the extra speed buff from her burst and the result might not be optimal by any stretch but it'll certainly be fast, and that means plenty of points for both March and Jade.
Yeah I've been using Firefly and March in a team with no Ruan Mei for months and clearing all endgame MoC and AS last stages easily so far. There's enough cycle leeway for it to be very reasonable. I understand Ruan Mei is a massive upgrade but I hope Guoba updates his stance on this in-case he makes a future video since hearing that line pre-March release was disappointing before we got to use her in action.
@@gereerI have Ruan Mei but she is glued to my DoT team, plus I feel Firefly would hate working with Ruan Mei if she finds out about her swarm experiments, a silly reason I know, but I like the challenge of not using RM in the super break team
@@NirajThapa-eq4wu Yes it will ! just use skill on topaz with march, with the amount of attack from both the ennemies will melt ! + robin will boost them both. Even FX is fine since she'll protect them + add some critrate !
im surprised how good her kit is, she seems fun to play with and as a bonus her animations are so cute! ill really consider building her, ive neglected my ratio team for too long anyways
+40% speed does sound nice, and since the targeted ally will be taking turns even more often both March and Jade would benefit from putting both effects onto a single character. only question is what character to put it on. Jade would benefit from having a character that hits multiple targets, whilst it seems like speed is the primary thing we're aiming for with this combo. looking up the base stats of all the characters it seems like the best choices (that being the top 5 characters capable of regularly hitting multiple targets, since it seems like a lot of the fastest characters are single-target or supports) are Aventurine (only multi-target on his follow-up attack), Asta (it's a bounce so the number of targets can be inconsistent, but she can contribute an extra speed buff to the party from her burst), Harmony Trailblazer (another bounce attack), Serval, and Firefly (who has extra speed buffs for herself in her kit). fastest character capable of hitting all 5 enemies goes to Argenti. if speed alone if your aim though then Seele still has the highest base speed in the game (though Firefly's self-buff when in burst does go higher, even when taking Seele's self-buff from her skill into account) so on the whole if you've just gotta go fast then put March, Jade, Asta and Firefly on a team. it probably won't be optimal by any stretch but Firefly will be getting an insane number of turns and that will be giving March and Jade points.
Seele has been indirectly buffed with Hunt 7th. With the former sometimes getting two turn and the latter SP positive (since all you need to do is designate a Shifu). Add Bronya and Fu Xuan and you have yourself a team that makes Silverwolf irrelevant.
I barely built my March and she's already beating my Boothill for Apoc and MoC... Initially I pulled him for the highest on demand toughness damage, then March hits with the 150 Minimum damage, with RNG going for potentially 240.. What hits me hardest is that March isn't even optimized, She's wasting turn left and right as she's slower than Gallagher, and she still comfortably 3 cycled MoC.. I even took Seele's sig away from her because she literally didn't care and still did it with minimum hassle. I even have plans on building Yanqing's 4 star LC because everyone is broken immediately and forever, the speed will probably come in handy at the very least to offset Gallagher
And there it is. A unit that everyone gets that SCREAMS "Relic Presets" to be able to swap between builds. But seeing as Genshin, HSR and ZZZ all STILL don't have this feature, I seriously doubt it will ever happen...
She is probably the most creative and peak kit that i have seen on a character in hsr yet. Her playstyle is so unique and unorthodox and fun. Unfortunately things will only go downhill from here as I doubt the devs will ever be able to make a kit as interesting as hers.
Nah, turn based games provides way more freedom when designing kits. Penacony is still early on patch-wise, they have to come up with much more stuff in the future regions. It's very likely we're getting new paths too.
Now I’m hesitant on whether to build her. She doesn’t really fit anywhere on my account. By the way, Shifu is just the pronounciation of 师傅, but in english. It does literally translate to “Master”.
Imaginary is the only element with no F2P option with all DPS characters being Limited 5 Star so for them to finally add a solid non-limited option was almost mandatory considering the exponential increase in the game's difficulty. Now we just need some 4 Star support that can cover Ruan Mei's role since at the moment she has a monopoly on the Break Support niche
I have a theory that March will work exceptionally well with a hybrid scaling crit/break dps in the future...(maybe Boothill rn) She'll serve as the HMC to Firefly in those teams
wonder how she'll do with xueyi because that is exactly what she is lol, rm gallagher hmc xueyi has been very fun but march could be very strong replacement
March works as a decent sub DPS for FF provided you want to go sustainless, or if you don't have her optimal team. Also, there's always future units. From rumours I've heard, Feixiao will work pretty well with Hunt March
@samueljo7910 Feixao will also undoubtedly benefit from Robin. Dual dps and fua is just her field at the moment. Much like Ruan Mei is to dot and superbreak and advance forward is to hypercarry. I unfortunately will be forced to pull for Robin if I want to enjoy Feixiao which I'm very upset about
Thanks Guboa, nice guide as always. I really like March new kit and I would love to use here in AS or Moc ! But in my case I don't have Ratio, Robin or Aventurine and I already use Galagar for my Firefly team...I have Topaz tho. Even with your guide I'm kinda lost lol
When I heard March Hunt was coming, I assumed she was gonna be a limited 5* like Dan Heng. I was already getting preemptively sad cuz I don't really have anything to pull with, but this is good news. I'm for sure building her then.
Does her A4 mean her toughness damage is only for the shifu's type? Like if the enemy is weak to imaginary but not the shifu's type, she's worse at breaking than if she had no shifu? Or does it take both into account so she's good against both imaginary and shifu's type? I'm really excited about trying her with Clara, I've been running a Tingyun/Lynx team but I don't have any of the recommended units for the last slot, so I've got high hopes!
I love how you can basically rebuild the OG crew to just take the role of another member. Trailblazer takes March's role March takes Dan Heng's role Dan Heng takes Trailblazer's role. Granted the Dan Heng is a completely different character(in terms of slots) but still.
I love how being Free and / or a 4* makes it some shocker that she's useful. I think every other gacha I play has given out free units that are plenty strong, Genshin's stingyness really has warped what people expect these days.
@@ch1dd yeah but its skill point hell lmao. March and Aven give skill point but without fua aven sheild kinda weak and yukong needs to skill every turn if you dont have e6
Guoba (or any kind commenter) i beg of u. Pls answer this humble whale's question: What team do i use for Dr Ratio? I want to play Dr Ratio so bad i adore his character but i dont wanna use Topaz, Adventurine, or Gallagher. I have E1 S2 Robin, E2 S1 Silver Wolf, E1 S1 Bronya, E2 S1 Sparkle, I'll have Hunt March built and will probably put Seeles LC on her, I also plan on pulling for Ratio's LC as well. I got E6 ting and pela too. (I also plan on pulling for E1 S1 Lingsha). I just dont know how to handle ratio's need for many debuffs while also wanting buffers at the same time. What would be the best/optimal choice?
imagine pairing her with firefly on a break team firefly applying fire weakness and attacking a huge lot, then march hitting that newfound fire weakness that'd be sick
Her and Dr Ratio play different from each other, besides the longer the game goes on, you're eventually gonna overlap elements and paths, so might as well have it be a 4* that takes less mats to build.
I'm fine with it as both their kits are different enough to not completely overlap with each other. March's biggest advantage is her pseudo-utility and team flexibility. I feel that she's one of those characters that will age like fine wine, and there's nothing stopping Hoyo from making her a BiS option for future characters down the line! (fingers-crossed its Feixiao, the timing of her getting her last eidolons in 2.5 is just a little sus hehe)
So excited to get her. I think I'm going to be running her dual dps with Xueyi, with a hybrid crit/break build with Ruan Mei! Seeing how often March can attack with e2 I can't wait to see how many FUAs I can get with Xueyi.
Can you use Hunt March alongside Preservation March? Because if you can't that would be the 2nd time a free Preservation unit see no use at all because their Imaginary counterparts are just way better lmao
You really don't need a dedicated Nihility with Ratio + March teams if you use Gallagher. You already meet the 3 debuff requirement between Ratio's slow from technique at the start of battle, his skills EFF RES down, and Gallagher's Besotted + Atk Down on top of any Imprisonment you get from Breaking enemies. Not to mention Ruan Mei's debuff.
Quantum and Imaginary are clear favorites because of the huge ammount of enemies weak to them, not to mention above average units. Ice, just like in Genshin, is kinda ignored and wind I think is the worst current element.
i have enough imaginary units right now so march will be on hold. i just need more wind units to cover for type coverage. Even with having Blade, who doesn't synergize with other wind units.
I might not have time to build March 7th on her 8th form. I still need to build Firefly (needs to change the boots + both ornaments) and Argenti (overhaul on his entire relics)... plus, Himeko needs Herta to complete the Kuru-kuru team...
@@Yusei255 it's... it's a gag. A joke. March was found on something called "six-phased ice" (which is something real- Ice VI). The day she was found was March 7th, hence the name. And the next number is eight, hence the gag.
Thanks for the guide! I tried the March carry meme comp and it's really fun and strong! One thing though, I tries it with both Gallagher and Luocha and I really think Luocha is much better as a sustain in this comp: Robin and Bronya always want to use their skills, Robin to gain more energy and Bronya to buff the dps as much as possible, but with Gallagher I feel like they have to use their basic attacks to heal sometimes which is a bit of a waste imo (or Gallagher will have to use his skill which will generate less charges for March since he doesn't attack). Luocha's field heals the whole team when any character does damage so he can always use his basic and Robin and Bronya can always use their skills (idk maybe its a skill issue tho)
Interesting that the limited 5* of the patch is a copy paste of an already existing unit with a powerspike whereas the free 4* is totally unique and nearly creates a whole new playstyle / team template. I'm excited to see what people cook up with this new March! It seems like she's not bringing anything to super break if she's competing with Firefly or Boothill's slot but if she has some cool crit DPS teams I'd consider building her!
Finally my March will get the love she deserves, gonna max her out like Harmony TB. Having her with the next update even makes me consider to skip the banner chars cause im fine with gearing up 1 char a patch.
I'm hoping that March can eventually be used as part of a second break team, since my Firefly team is currently my strongest with the most investment. I'm planning to grab Lingsha when she comes out, and have March pair up with either her or Gallagher, but then the question becomes, who's she going to have on her team if Firefly keeps Ruan Mei and HMC? Guess it'll be better to build her for crit in the short term and see if we get more break supports in the long term.
How is Honkai Star Rail constantly popping off with these extremely well designed kits in an autobattle turn based game while Genshin Impact has done nothing but copy its earlier characters' kits and give them bigger numbers? Why is one game brimming with creativity and passion and the other stagnating and chugging along with bare minimum effort?
Awesome video! Didn't know March was that good or versatile! For a break build, would pairing her with E2 Firefly make sense? She does so many actions and if March really gets her talent points from every single shifu attack AND launches a follow-up of her own, it seems insane.
oh that would be pretty interesting, i'm anti ruan mei so i was thinking she would good on fireflys team anyway, but i figured i'd still have her use skill on gallagher for the extra toughness damage. I'm not sure if the extra FUA frequency from e2 firefly would be better than doubled toughness damage on a super break team.
I already have Firefly for the super break team, and I am only missing Topaz for the RRAT team, so I will probably switch in March there. Instead of RRAT, I am going to be RRAM-ing forward through the enemies! Imaginary weak enemies beware!
I'm SUPER excited for Swordmaster March! Not only will I finally get to use one of my favorite characters again (sadly I haven't really had any use for her since 1.2 ;---;), but I'll also finally have someone who can wear all of my *insane* crit pieces from break sets. Like seriously, the amount of 30+ CV pieces from the Thief/Watchmaker/Iron Cavalry sets I got while trying to farm for Clara/Acheron/Ratio/Firefly (while not getting anything decent for the character I was actually farming for, obviously) is not even funny. It's almost like the game is trying to taunt me lmao. BUT NOT ANYMORE! I've already got 5/6 pieces for March (2pc/2pc Watchmaker/Cavalry plus a Glamoth Break rope), which, alongside Sleep Like The Dead, already give her a 58/170 crit ratio, 140% BE *and* 135 SPD. Now all I need is a decent ATK/Imaginary DMG sphere (ideally with > 6% CR and 5 SPD, so she can reach 100% CR/160 SPD with SLTHD's/Ruan Mei's buffs) and I will have the hybrid DPS March of all time.
Damn, on one hand I'd love to use March again, on the other I'm not sure where to fit her into my teams - superbreak I'm set with Firefly E0S1, so no point in changing that. For CRIT, I don't have Topaz, so I guess I should go Dr Ratio route, but I don't have him build that well... Will have to play around and see if there's any team I enjoy having her in
In the end, all that matters is that her Shifu is a character that gets a lot of attacks on either side so that seems like a lot of freedom to pick what seems fun.
Tbh, wasn’t expecting March to become the 2nd QQ, and become this broken, and versatile, but I guess it does make sense being that current meta is break/atk, so I have no complaints here. (Already have a atk and break set for her since I’ve been grinding break for my Firefly for the past month, and already got some god relics that can’t work, so I’m basically set.) Since March is setting a modern precedent of a versatile break character, I wonder what Feixiao will have in store.
Quite literally the best girl lol What are your thoughts on her over asta or pela for Ruan mei substitutes for Firefly? Ofc she can't compete with mei, but I have no intention of pulling mei so...
Great video. I was already excited about March, but even more so now. I'm glad Hoyo is giving us such interesting, fun characters for FREE. It's awesome.
So I was looking for future Hunt March comp and a good team that comes up is Gallagher, HM7, Robin, and Bronya. Unfortunately I did not pull Robin and Bronya can be used for only 1 team. So my budget comp will be Gallagher, HM7, HMC, and Asta. If that even works. I have 2 questions for you Guoba, please help me out! Question 1: Can Asta replace Robin on this team? Asta is equipped with S5 Dance Dance Dance of course. Is it the same efficiency or how much % worse? I have seen RU-vid comments saying Robin is the core of this comp and is unchangable. Question 2: The other team will be a traditional Boothill break comp. If I put Bronya in Boothill's team, will Asta's SPD boost on HM7's team suffice alone? You know, to Advance Forward the team?
