Honkai: Star Rail Discussion Thread

Wouldn't the 3-C's of HI3 now be 4-A?
for now no Welt got emanator stat value after his upgrade
And what about Emanators? Do they stay 3-B or do they become 4-A?
 
Honestly, I thought about it for a bit and “X Speed, up to Immeasurable Speed via Imaginary Energy” might be tenable for Emanators and above ngl.

But none of these guys should physically scale to Immeasurable aside from maybe the Aeons or at least just HooH

no we are not making the aeons or emanators have conceptual forms immeasurable speed because they're able to travel in imaginary space

what EVEN is conceptual forms immeasurable speed bro

Nono. Imaginary Energy itself isn’t physically bound by linear time, not simply Imaginary Space. Emanators can use it so they have it as an addition to their physical key, but Aeons could in a way be identified with Imaginary itself and grant it like that.

HooH should have it specifically at least because he’s merged with tree itself

ok but I'd rather it be a regular immeasurable thank you, like I wouldn't even prefer conceptual forms immeasurable speed because how do you even think to conceptualize speed ratings

"oh yeah my immeasurable is conceptual, yours aren't so im superior" like layers into immeasurable is only through higher temporal dimensions 😭

The avatars aren’t even the Aeons. Their real selves are just Imaginary Energy (most likely). So we can just add “Immeasurable Speed” and keep it like that with no issues.

But Emanators don’t have an Imaginary self, so it’s only a form of attack speed like “MFTL physically, up to Immeasurable via Imaginary Energy”. This is the most coherent way to make it
 
Lwk, ya’ll think HooH would be a futanari because they represent duality? And we know he has two parts which should include Male and Female sooo

I’m saying this because in LOTM there are also beings who represent Yin-Yang/Duality and all of them are futanaris too. Kinda makes me think the same would happen here too ngl since the concepts are similar

does this make HooH High 1-A++++++++?

That’s kinda how it works in many gnostic belief systems. Doubt they have genitals tho
 
Can you expand on the “wiped the floor” part?
Enneads 2, Tractate 9: “Against the Gnostics”

[…]
For, in general, these men have drawn some of their material from Plato, while the rest consists of innovations introduced to establish their own brand of philosophy, but these were discovered by leaving the truth behind. For the judgements, the rivers in Hades, and reincarnations are all drawn from Plato, and putting a multiplicity in the intelligible world – Being, Intellect, a Demiurge distinct [from Being and Intellect], and Soul – this was extracted from what was said in Timaeus. For Plato says, ‘The creator of this sensible universe, then, rationally planned that it should have all of the Forms that Intellect observes as contained in the real Living Being’, and, not comprehending Plato, they assumed that there is one Intellect in stillness and containing all Beings within it, and another Intellect, distinct from that one, that contemplates, as well as the [Intellect] that rationally plans – frequently ‘demiurgic Soul’ is found by them in place of the rationally planning Intellect – and they think that this is Plato’s Demiurge, though they are far from knowing who the Demiurge is.

And, in general, they are wrong about the manner of creation and about much else of Plato’s thought, and they give feeble distortions of our man’s views, as if they were the ones who had a clear grasp of the intelligible nature while Plato and the other divinely gifted men did not. […]
It’s much longer but this was just a part I found particularly funny cuz of the Plato glaze

The entire thing is very long, I’ll have to read this after classes.

But also, when he says “against the gnostics” which group specifically is he referring too? As i understand “gnosticism” is a modern umbrella term referring to separate schools of thought, some of which didn’t even agree with each other. Or did he just consider them all the same?

It should be most of them.

At least, his mains contentions with the Gnostic worldview were on their initiative to invite multiplicity into the Intelligible World beyond what is necessary. As he believed that only the three main levels of reality there—The One (The Good [this is beyond the intelligible world, but you get the point]); Intellect (Nous/Demiurge); Soul of the Cosmos (Expressed Principle)—should coherently exist.

Other complaints were on their view on the Demiurge not being perfect, or that the Sensible/Material World was inherently Evil.

I imagine we can apply this to their avatar forms? (There's nothing to say that the conceptual form and avatar aren't both made up of imaginary energy.)
Honestly, I'm not even sure an abstract concept is supposed to be able to move in any way within a space, or rather, a conceptual being, not the concept itself (yes, that doesn't make sense). Anyway, moving on, I think we can actually give immeasurable speed to purely Imaginary beings by default, if this explanation is valid.

I wonder if this discussion can also be applied to the Stellaron

I seem to recall SU stating that Hooh has no form, or perhaps I'm confusing him with Mythus, and even if he did have one, I suppose he would probably resemble that strange block that represents him.

I mean… they are projections from Imaginary Space, so they would honestly js be Real Space forms. Naturally, these “avatars” are also capable of utilizing Imaginary, but I doubt they’d have the same ontology as their True Forms.

No issues with this. Especially with my view that they are CM3-adjacent beings.

And Imaginary Energy itself precedes concepts, i.e abstract existences, so it’s also not truly conceptual in that sense.

And—even if they were hypothetically CM1–there’s no inherent issue with that since only High 1-A+ universals lack potency and act.

I would really like to treat this in a sort of case-by-case scenario. Since what’s Immeasurable here is the pure Imaginary Energy as you’re stating. Not the energy that is transformed into the things in Real Space, since at that point, their ontology is already distinct. Because everything in the cosmos is fundamentally formed by Imaginary Energy, so then we risk giving even HSR atoms Immeasurable Speed.

As for Stellarons, they should be Emanator-adjacent existences to begin with, so it’s probably not an issue. At least, the energy emanated from them would likely be Immeasurable.

I seem to recall SU stating that Hooh has no form, or perhaps I'm confusing him with Mythus, and even if he did have one, I suppose he would probably resemble that strange block that represents him.
Iirc it says he split into two. But having no form isn’t really an issue because Imaginary Energy also doesn’t have form. At least, a concrete one that is, since that’s something that happens when it enters Real Space. Which also kinda means that HooH inherently won’t have a real form since he’s merged with the entire cosmology.

I'm not saying the opposite, but simply that the assertion that an avatar isn't also made of imaginary energy doesn't exist yet. I'm one of the first to tell you that there's an ontological difference between the two.

This sort of thing is quite absurd anyway; I only believe in beings purely imaginary and beings that might have followed, closely or remotely, one of these beings capable of moving at such speed.

Well, that's good news for the future, especially for the Trailblazer since it would be the main one affected.

I don't think it would bother him, as long as this guy is symmetrical I doubt he'd really be upset...
Otherwise, yeah, He was obviously One, but it split into Two

any mftl+ speed feat in hsr is like higher than 95% of all the mftl+ calcs in the wiki so like unless you wanna bother with the values, you'd know like just say infinite instead of mftl+ because the value in mftl+ is so arbitrarily high that if you count them you'd rather just die

stellaron is virtually impossible to destroy btw (silent galaxy mission), it's indestructible like bedrock so you have that and himeko stated not even herta could destroy it

Interesting
I tend to forget that some missions are interesting and relevant, but this one really dates back to a time when I didn't even care about PWS or lore.
 
Like this is Zandar we’re talking about. We are we acting like this isn’t something he’s smart enough to do
Herta couldn't do it bro, like what makes you think zandar is able to do that also like the stellaron there is merged with demiurge so demiurge is like the stellaron itself and it resonated with trailblazer so yeh
 
Even the wiki doesn’t agree with what u say


Yea but that’s only like belobog-level contamination
Ok here's the thing, detonating a stellaron is like exploding it, it's like trailblazer's stellaron almost exploding or cocolia's death because obviously the stellaron exploded right and that's the reason cocolia died but after that the stellaron is still intact and this is the same stellaron himeko said to be virtually indestructible so like it's still indestructible

Anyway, said stellaron contamination affected demiurge but like it's a weird situation because again we have demiurge herself saying trailblazer's stellaron is what caused her to resonate with trailblazer in the first place

The point is that, if the last genius society member (#83) is unable to do it then why is the first genius society able when you know zandar barely kept up with anything (bro doesn't even know about the dreamscape) and like the stellaron's still there anyway after when it exploded, it doesn't rip to pieces

Since it still exists where is it? Because it would be very convenient for everyone if Zandar just lost it and didn’t use it to further power himself or irontomb.

Because Zandar One is better than Herta, that simple. Him being out of touch with the modern universe doesn’t disqualify him from something Herta isn’t able to do. He was the first emanator of Nous, who was made using Zandars likeness. Why would Herta be his equal? Not sure what your dreamscape point is even supposed to mean, like so what?

Existed as Demiurge, I literally told you the stellaron contamination fused with the core

Please list actual reason why he's better than Herta, first Emanator of Nous doesn't mean anything when you know, Irontomb failed to self-coronate because of Herta lmao

Anyway it sounds like rationalizing when you have no real proof. The thing was detonated and now it’s nowhere to be found. Until further information, information you lack, it’s safe to assume the stellaron is indeed gone. Unless you have more information of course.

It failed to self coronate because Herta? Ignore everyone else she needed to even pull the thing off, which includes irontomb coronating itself. Anyway Zandar created Nous, and cultivated Irontomb. Herta serves said Nous and dies to irontomb. That’s enough.
 
  • Zandar: Can create and destroy an Aeon
  • Apparently also Zandar: Can’t destroy a Stellaron (something created by an Emanator)
