Honkai: Star Rail Discussion Thread

3-C: Evernight, acheron, zephyro, welt, dhil, phantylia, jingyuan, blade, kafka, silverwolf..? firefly, sparkle (until her clones get nuked), jingliu, feixiao, dominicus sunday's first key? argenti's second key (blame firefly), irontomb, flame reaver, Khaslana, permanser terrae, demiurge

4-A: trailblazer (post argenti quest till cyrene amp), march 7th (every key except evernight), himeko, yanqing, yunli, PomPom (the express), dormancy, saber/archer..?, skaz, aventurine, topaz, and jade (all except the qlipoth hammer ofc), argenti first key, black swan, the galaxy rangers, hoolay, literally every chrysos heir and titan except the ones mentioned above and cyrene amps, lygus, herta, mem/cyrene (NOT DEMIURGE)
uh did Firefly even fight Argenti? It makes no sense for her to transform into SAM in a reality show. Argenti even comments about how he was mistaken for SAM. He would have commented about Firefly being SAM if she transformed, but he did not. Either Firefly did not fight, or she fought only in her base (outside SAM)
 
I genuinely don’t think this matters much at all, since the game seems to be treating both Core and Body as pretty much the same. That’s why they have the same boosts, path energy, powers and whatnot.

Mind you, Irontomb wouldn’t even supposedly be properly “fighting” really since all of this time it has been iterating continuously to connect to Nous. And once it finishes that, that’s when it tries to really kill mfs with the Self-Coronation.
You’re right that the core and body are practically the same but if you look at what the forces contributed to, they didn’t really hinder the Chrysos Heirs own fight to affect the scaling against them.

Like the scaling would probably be affected if there were a literal army actually jumping the core of Irontomb but instead they just shot at the stationary target that wasn’t really doing much so it was pretty much just Chrysos Heirs Vs Irontomb mostly rather than a literal army swarm.

I don't know why that would hinder Irontomb's capabilities of fighting or multi task both at the same time. Like the start of Phase 2 he uses his entire arsenal, the same ones from Phase 3 barring like 1 attack so it shouldn't be half assing the fight.

Also to explain the whole 1 vs 4 fights. Heres a really good clip to explain what happens if a group of people who don't scale to at least the same ap tier as the guy theyre jumping try to jump that person.

Exhibit A:
Phainon Vs Thousands of Anti Matter Legion soldiers. massacre.

But Phainon is killing them 1-by-1, Irontomb is js attacking all of them simultaneously.

Also unlike Phainon, Irontomb didnt get jobbed by the only Emanator there lol. The difference is night and day.

Cuz like say we accept this route, it basically becomes:

Irontomb ~ Dan Heng
Zephyro ~< Irontomb
Zephyro > Khaslana (no diffed)
Khaslana/Phainon > Dan Heng

So Dan Heng > Phainon > Dan Heng??
 
would that not be his base? i mean i dont think hes emanator level either way since he got no diffed by one
Tbf it looks like Khaslana's power varies a lot depending on how many coreflames he's igniting since he goes from getting his arm cut off easily by Zephyro to pushing him around and matching him for a bit (when his hair turned on fire) before he decided to just use everything to charge at Nanook. But with the base 12 coreflames yeah I think he's either a low emanator level character or just really high pathstrider level.

We can use a varies tier like in the DC profiles. 4-A to 3-C up to Low 1-C at peak.

For example:


His varies tier can explain his fluctuating power, which correlates to the amount of coreflames he is burning.

It would he Irontomb>DHPT~Phainon>Dan Heng tho
 
Is this cat L1C the similar way with firenon to nanook

Ah I see ok thank you

Also on an unrelated note, I think the rating pistol's targeting is able to differentiate between souls since Evernight is technically a separate entity that resides within March's body yet the rating pistol gave her a value of 37 instead of invalid so it probably means that Evernight herself as an individual isn't an emanator/adjacent or greater being (her powers are tho since she's using March's body as a Pure Child of Anasrava). I think this applies to Ashveil too since the Shadow he carries seems to be treated as a separate entity and his rating is 87 despite the Shadow being capable of devouring emanators (it's not rated because of the seal holding it back maybe?). The only issue I have with this is the Arbiter Generals and their Lan spirits but maybe you could make an argument that they aren't really individuals and are just counted as a part of the generals themselves as a power of theirs, and the characters with memosprites that are actual sentient beings (little Ica invalid rating real).

I think, the Phainon case could be categorized as PIS, because it's completely inconsistent, where the scene really just wanted to show something dramatic. Can just scratching like that be scaled? I don't know, it's the same thing with this cat, lol.

This is like Goku getting hit by a laser, Saitama getting horned by Genos, or Luffy getting beaten up by Nami 😂

The justification literally had several Emanators glazing tf outta Phainon for being able to even scratch an Aeon, what should be investigated however is the fact that Traveler is still getting his ass beat by Asmoday AFTER 6 YEARS SINCE THE MOMENT GENSHIN STARTED AS A GAME (1.0 > 6.5)

traveler being considered archon lvl should be considered PiS because this mf gets put belt to ass by anyone archon lvl and above

@SuperNova55555 Can you nuke Genshin after this take pretty please
 
I love how its like a massive plot point to the story for Khaslana to scratch Nanook with an ingame canon explanation on how he managed to do it in the first place with several characters praising a mortal for facing an Aeon ontop of Khaslana literally being the only reason for us to have world cleansing blood in the first place.

Thing is Phainon scratching Nanook, while it’s damage on the level of Saitama getting scratched by a cat. It is narratively significant and treated as a feat that Shaoji would not stop reminding us that Phainon really did it for real. So it should be counted.

"Plot induced stupidity and inconsistent"
 
Traveler vs Asmoday is like if Amphoreus is 6 years long instead of 1 year long, and then the entire 6 years of Khaslana collecting the 400 million coreflames to defeat Nanook which was hyped to hell and back, instead he lost to literal Voidrangers (that's how Genshin is rn)

Actually, I myself never agreed with traveler being at the archon level until now, weren't you the ones who placed him?
I’ve been asked to nuke Sovereign scaling, and I’m starting to consider it now…
That's a great idea, because I agree that sovereign should be at the archon level, not the shades level. I even debated this before 🥀

honestly i'm really not sure about that
 
you will get emanators glazing the **** out of phainon for doing what he did and call it inconsistent then use some random infinite statement to make genshin high 3-A
like idc how wanked hsr is rn you just have 0 right to complain when yo verse got 4-A over non existent feat
2-C over non existent feat and low 2-C from larping another guys argument
like this is 0/10 ragebait

Varies work.

It goes

Post Dawnmaker Base, Higher as Khaslana/12 core flames, Varies, Up To at his peak. Yall remember when we used to assume Khaslana was just naturally empowered by all 400 mill instead of 12.
 
Wdym stretch vro. We saw that dude get played by Zephyro
  1. Didn’t use any abilities
  2. Cut his arm off
  3. Gave his sword back
  4. Still washed him up
  5. Leaves and js said he wanted to test him
Zephyro genuinely nodiffed this guy

1. What about the erasure of the meteor causing the sneak that cut off his arm? From here on the fight was finished, one less arm is a lot... and he was still pressing Zephyro.
2. They were clashing pretty evenly throughout.

Honestly low-mid diff.

The whole narrative point of Kevin and Phainon is they fly high, show others what can be reached, but end up having to fall.
It shows, in the greater plot of the game, that Nanook IS fallible. Remember when everyone reacted to Kafka saying we're gonna beat Nanook like 'what' - This is the 'OH IT'S POSSIBLE' moment.
As we move forwards stuff like Aha's 1M ascension will get us closer and closer to the overarching end point of beating Nanook.
