Honkai: Star Rail Discussion Thread

my biggest peeve is that we used to fight actual godlike creatures in amphoreus who had feats and statements behind them while planarcadia is complete opposite and mind you we didnt even job in amphoreus that isnt low 1C rock and flame reaver because im damn sure TB and Phainon were moving like crazy against aquila
I think if we went to planarcadia and then amphoreus things would be much much better

Amphoreus lowkey was TOOO early in the story. I think having at least 2 to 3 arcs before it, after Penacony, would have made things smoother from both a narrative and powerscaling standpoint.
 
I called it obvious because we 4v1 an Emanator. Unless the writers are constantly pitting us against Emanators (who we haven't faced yet in Planarcadia), it's going to end up being weird to see the cast struggle to non-emanator folks. Maybe if this were Pre-Ampho or Penacony, then the high school bit wouldn't be awkward at all. The writers kinda shot themselves in the foot by giving us an absurdly powerful foe this early in the plot. This leaves future opponents being much stronger than they honestly deserve.
It’s actually because the writers don’t suffer from powerscaling brainrot, especially in a world that’s comedic in tone.
 
Id agree HOWEVER evanescia had to BFR the trailblazer to save them
TBF I highly doubt TB was going all out since well...those are mind-controlled teenagers. Otherwise, TB will pull a Phainon agaisnt those kids lol

Can't call it brainrot when it's the same issue from Invincible. The power levels are narratively inconsistent.
 
Maybe the TB doesn’t want to just murder a whole bunch of people. Would be a PR disaster, especially when they’re supposed to be heroes and such
If this was the case they would have simply knocked them out early but the fans were genuienly strong enough that they had to get BFR’d away

Yea but powerscaling consistancy is actually a main power of story progression thats why people like crucified dbs when it dropped

This example means nothing to me. TB power is constantly in flux with some holding back added on. I mean don’t characters like Wally suffer from this to an even more extreme degree? I don’t see anybody bitching about that.

No one but powerscaling forums are looking at the story through this lens.

I’m still not seeing the problem with TB failing to murder people willy nilly. Maybe it was a mental issue that caused them to be overwhelmed. Or maybe TB power is constantly in flux depending on situation. It’s not really a big deal that breaks the logic of the universe

Again if he was strong enough she shouldve just knocked them out its the fact they needed to be BFR’d and explicitly saved by an outside source that means the highschoolers were actually putting bta

or maybe they didn’t want to beat up a bunch of teenagers and ruin the nameless street cred they worked so hard to build. I can make up reasons for why shit happens too
 
That’s fair. But regarding TB’s power, their could be a multitude of reasons that explain their “inconsistency”. I mean, who even says they’re as strong as they were in Amphoreus? Paths are something you draw from, like a slot machine, you actively have to be drawing from it
I get that, but we haven't had instances of pathstriders drastically varying in power like theyre green lanterns or whatever based on some condition. Plus if TB could just actively draw more power then needing to be saved wouldn't be on the table. After a certain point if youre much stronger than someone just subduing em would be easy. So to me I can't excuse inconsistency like this by thinking up a reason for this to occur.
Plus I'd say if TB is weaker post amphoreus thats important enough to be explicitly mentioned.

Knocking them out wouldnt ruin their reputation. Fighting them for as long as they did would hurt it more especially if they are supposed to be stronger than them its obvious the fans were just that strong 😭

We can't get around it, these high schoolers could've contributed vs incomplete irontomb
DBS ahh powercreep where every organism under the sun is 2-C
 
Thats a fair take. Ts really reminds me of my frustrations watching CW Flash. Ideally the writers if you’re going to make the characters so powerful then put them up against enemies who can get around that strength or hax. Or give some good reason on why the characters aren’t as strong as before (it’s dumb Dan Heng can transform anytime and genuinely doesn’t for little reason). Using bleach as an example, Ginjo is much weaker than Aizen and came after him. But the stakes were pretty believable.
HSR writers could do the same if they had that sauce instead of constant escalation.
Literally. I feel people forget the writers control the whole narrative and they don't actually have to write in them fighting someone who's logically far weaker than them.

Or literally just give enemies unique hax abilities via paths. IT'S BUILT INTO YOUR POWER SYSTEM, USE ITT.
 
 
I would laugh my ass off if we end up downgrading the low tiers to tier 6 via the Jarilo Stallaron feat lmao

We do be smurfing (except the low tiers have bad hax soooo)
 
I recall there being sun calcs so maybe?

What feat do you have in mind?
A strange being that does not belong to this world. Nurtured in the Fragmentum created by the Stellaron, it parasitize upon this world's root structures to obtain energy. Its armor burns with the blazing flames in the core of stars.
In combat, the Blaze Out of Space will incinerate anything it touche
this guy.
 
Actually speaking of time, everyone should look at the path of destruction section on the IE page because nanook has time manip now?????
 
Im pretty sure this is mem exclusive and mem is gone
if u break lygus figure in planarcadia u can use time hax to repair it
The TB having timestop makes any and all arguments of them holding back make no sense. Why bother fighting and holding back when you can stop time?
planarcadia has AE1 which embodies abstraction called plot and character incuded stupidity for whatever reason
