Light Cone Luck & Penacony Purgatory [Honkai: Star Rail Erudition Only] 

HONKAI STAR RAIL CONTENT AFTER 20 MILLION YEARS

Java: Why is the new enemies so strong Also forgets he just did equilibrium 6 to make them stronger

imma be real with you, leveling up the Equilubrium was easily one of the worst decisions anyone can do in a run like this

14:12 The Hotel instructions you get during the quest actually tell you to keep on your clothes, because whatever you're wearing is what you wear in the "dream"... there are also disclaimers asking people to people do NOT go into the dream pool with nothing on lol.

It’s back! Btw, the light cone banner has a 75% chance of getting the featured light cone Also about Trailblazer wearing clothes while in water, you retain the appearance you have when going there.

In the xianzhou there is a consumable called the prayer machine that heals you 1k HP for 3-5 turns. You should look into that because it'll help

Erudition only is back! 🎉

So, with how the meta evolved, it definitely seem like Erudition may have been one of if not the hardest paths to solo (Hunt is prob the hardest though) Abundance & Preservation at least have sustain, which yes, will make the battles take for ever, but you prob won't die too often Destruction despite being an offensive path, has units with a lot of defensive utility. Clara's light cone can semi heal her, Xueyi e2 heals upon follow-up activation, Blade actually is un-killable in certain situations and generally a bit more defence for the units. Nihility has proven to become a top tier path, and Acheron has pushed ahead the Nihility only meta, with characters that somewhat helps with sustain like Welt, or characters that don't care about weakness types like Silver Wolf. Then untop of that, you can run DoT teams, whom already often run 3 DoT characters. Then there's Harmony, who I can't really predict how would function in a mono setting. They have some of the best units for buffing, meaning that you prob could push out dmg from some units (Yukong primarily I would think), so I suppose it's not all that bad, you still lack the sustain, but considering the element, it wouldn't surprise me if a Harmony character eventually has a bit more sustaining attributes (Ruan Mei kinda does, in a similar vain to Welt, with delaying enemies' actions) All in all, kudos for sticking to the Erudition path, even though at times it can feel bleak. No Sustain, no single target focus makes bosses rough & lack of SP since most wants to use their skill, & we don't even have full type coverage due to lack of Wind & Imaginary. As you say, we can hope there's a future Erudition character who leans more support orientated (I don't really see how a straight up Erudition healer could work without becoming an Abundance character, but maybe someone who has self-healing properties), and then maybe also characters of the missing types, which would be nice.

"Hotel for VR Chat" had me cracking up, so happy to see another Erudition Only video!

wait until he finds out u have to fight it again

begging on my knees for hsr to add a "lower equilibrium" feature,,, the one thing that actually is in genshin that isn't here

actually the light cone banner doesnt have a 50/50 its a 75/25 you might hav already known that but just in case but nice video :D

8:36 That transition goes hardddddddddd

Yeeeahhh! New video from Java!! Have a nice day, everyone reading this!

Finally HSR content is back for how many years

No way I literally just rewatched all of Erudition only, heck yeah another episode✨ was so looking forward to hearing your impressions of Penacony and I was absolutely not disappointed 😂

whos gonna tell him the light cone banner is a 75/25 not 50/50

You should try abundance path in simulated so you can get further by being able to heal, of course get cards(?) from the path that is best for your team too 😂❤ I love your videos 😊

so happy to see erudition only back

ERUDITION ONLY IS BACK EVERYONE WAKE UPPPPP

@JavaTheCup you don't know how much I look forward to your videos. I really appreciate what you do and I am absolutely glad to see you thrive like this.❤

DAMN PERFECT, JAVA YOURE A BEAST. NOW I HAVE A VIDEO WHILE I HAVE LUNCH I LOVE IT AND I LOVE YOU

6:01 there is one use for clara's lightcone in this situation and that is as material to level up an erudition lightcone 🙂🙂

Java, since you leveld up your equilibrium level, you're kind of screwed... but, there are some stuff you can try... Speed - speed is VERY important on every character, it's a really important stat for late game (your current situation) Himeko - since she is the only character that can break his weakness. Also you broke its weakness in half with 96 speed, thats actually really good. If you can squeeze as much break effect on Himeko (the piece - Link Rope - can have a break effect main stat) and you put her on speed boots (96 is not enough.) and try to get speed and break effect as much as you can on sub stats. There is a really high probability to break its weakness and it can help you a lot. Also yeah the xianzhou food that somebody commented will help a bunch if its true. Best of luck!

Just when I was thinking you had dropped the series, you come back. Glad to see more HSR content from you, Java

There is a consumable that you can unlock from the aurum alley event that heals everyone (including the enemies) by 1000 HP per turn for a set number of turns. 1000 HP is nothing to a boss but could greatly prolong your team's ability to stay in the fight. So my advice is unlock the consumable (prayer machine) and swap everyone back to damage relics.

yesterday i was a litle bit sad about the fact that you had no more hsr videos and than this! you just made my day 10 times beter 😊

After first phase, a certain someone comes in to help

yesss an erudition only video is here after so long!!

12:59 this music is wired into my brain for whenever I try to plan grinding sessions so now I can’t help but have this music play in my head on those occasions alone (even in Star Rail) because of how much I used to follow your “____ Only” runs XD

I have come out of my fossilised shell to emerge and watch javas content

JAVA, you HAVE to farm!! There's gonna be a new quantum erudition, Jade!

You're like the only reason I continue playing Star Rail bc I lose 50/50 so much i rage quit, but after seeing ur erudition only i started playing again!!!

Hallo Java, this little series you've got going inspired me to do something similar, I got Welt and Pela in my first few pulls so I decided to do Nihility only! Good luck coffee man!

It’s been 84 years

it's hilarious how over here at erudition only, bro is suffering from not dealing enough damage, while moosashi only struggled in that boss in his blazer-dono account because the boss has a scripted 1-shot attack

Yeah 🎉🎉🎉 Erudition only is back!

Fun fact! Lightcone banner is a 75/25 with the featured lightcone having a 75% chance of appearing when getting a 5-star :)

wait star rail vid after 1century

I MISSED THIS SERIES!! ❤

Wah finally Erudition only is coming back after a million years!

finally we have been fed with more content

penacony enemies do hit hard but you also just reached max eq lv. which is nice for slightly better relic rewards and basically nothing else, as my half-built characters have been having a bitch of a time with combat events and story bosses. also there should be a new erudition character or two... soon... we don't know really star rail banners are hard to predict. look forward to seeing where it goes next! although we may remain stuck on something unto death for the time being

I honestly forgot he was even doing Erudition Only. Glad to see it back though!

The way I was recently thinking abt his hsr challenge

If you don’t have the ‘Prayer Machine’ consumable recipe I highly recommend it. The consumable does “upon use, all allies and enemies will restore 1000 hp at the start of the turn for the next battle, lasting for 5 turns.” It’s such a good consumable!

Oh right.. this account also existed.. it's been so long so I forgot it existed.. good to see it return

i wouldve loved to watch you play penacony live or watch an uneditted vod

Its been yearssss

FINALLY ERUDITION ONLY 😭😭

NEW ERUDITION CHARACTER ANNOUNCED

remember, the boss has quantum res

i WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT ERUDTION ONLY THIS MORING TOO

i didnt expect this but please more hsr content

Actually Qingque Eidolon where she activate Autarky is one of the Crackheads that they could give tbh since a lot of the Erudition Chars has a Follow up Attack (I know Serval doesn't have that and I think Argenti too?) and Finally some HSR content Yay!!!!!!!

WOAHHHHHHHH NEW HSR VIDEO LETS GOOOO :D (even though we're almost 2 banners ahead of this video KEKW)

Erudition only is back after 3 months!!

IT'S BEEN 84 YEARS FOR STAR RAIL CONTENT🗣🗣🗣🔥

ERUDITION ONLY IS BACK, I KNEW ITWOULD EVENTUALLY HAPPEN!

a trick for the memory zone meme boss: when it starts to use the skill that shows the eyes above your characters, it will refund all ur characters energy and steal 2 chars who make actions first BUT this can be used as a trick for low hp characters. when u break the paralyze on the stolen characters, they will be refunded to 50% hp and 100% energy regardless if they were in high hp or low hp before being stolen by the meme. i always use this trick to revive my low hp characters to 50% hp, just make sure u timed ur ults on characters u want to revive

It might be worth farming the new izumo planar set (provided you can beat the boss) or even synthesize them since you will always be meeting the criteria of having two characters on the same path in a team. Could be a good universal DPS set for this account

Yay a honkai vid its been 3 months :')

JAVAAAAA POSTED ITS A GOOD DAYYY

yo i was just wondering about this series yesterday bc i picked up hsr again soon:O

This video makes me wanna build my Jing yuan so I will now

Your best option is to nuke his first phase for sure. There is another RU-vidr who did a trailblazer only series and he was able to nuke the first phase with physical trailblazer (though he did lose to the team size check mechanic of the meme in phase 2). So yes, you basically just have to build qingque the best you can to absolutely destroy him

As a wise woman once said."Kuuru Kuriiiing~"

FIANLLY ANOTHER HSR VIDEO!!!!! Now I'm just waiting for sword only again :(

15:01 I DIDNT EXPECT THAT LMAO

JAVA WAKE UP NEW ERUDITION CHARACTER JUST DROPPED!!!!!

I think you should just lower the world level to get the boss out of the way and then raise it again to get more drops, but it is really fun to watch you try and make your team have enough survivability to get through it now

you can tell this video is an older recording bcz of sparkles banner.

15:01 THE MOANS- ☠️💅💋✨

this is the best episode ever

Finally a star rail vid in like .... 30 trillion years (i srsly dont know when u last posted an star rail vid)

(Java collects sticker) Random Girl: Moan Java: Excuse you

Yesss finally another erudition videoo

Love the vid but have a question: what happened to your Minecraft content? I really loved it and would like to see you continue it if you can! No pressure though, if you can't that's ok 👍

Nah thats wild Jave remembers Erudition Only 😭😭

FINALLY ERUDITION ONLY 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I kid you not, the exact same thing happened to me on jing yuan's light cone banner

15:17 ah yes the foreshadowing

I might consider using Serval for that fight just because I know she applies DOTS (and DOTS really help in that fight) but I'm not sure if Himeko, jinguan and Argenti can apply any dots or if its something they might do IF they break an enemy.

the new SU planar ornaments be do for your acc and it gives atk% and if you have the same type of character it gives 12 % crit rate

what is the music u are playing in background its so good?

don't forget lightcone banner is 75/25 so mutch better than genshin

Everytime I hear the music about to cut into the outro my soul dies a little, I hate it when your videos end. (I don't hate the outro I just hate it when the video ends because I really like java's videos so when I hear the music about to fade into the outro I get sad)

its nice to see other people also struggling in this region cause i had to rebuild my entire team just to beat the common enemies here like what was the reason for such a big jump in power??

Omg I was thinking when Java was going to upload hsr and it only took 3 years 🎉🎉

FINQLLY BACK!!

finally a star rail video

I like how Java just says “Q.Q”. Her name is Qingque (Shingshue)

I'm late seeing this video but it's actually a 25/75 on the light cone banner, and it always sucks to lose it even though you have a higher chance to get it...

IT'S ALIVE!

There is a food item called the "Prayer Machine" it might really help you out in future boss battles. What it does is heal your characters for 1000 hp for 5 turns straight. You can buy it aurum alley I think

Yeah! I missed this series

Hope the trips been going well

Ayy it's been a while :D

It’s been 84 years…

It’s aliveeeee!!!
