Another tip:

Leveling character/lightcone/trace from 70 to 80 (trace 8 to 10) it is the same as leveling 0 to 70.
So instead of having one character lvl 80 you'll have two characters lvl 70, same for other cases.

I rarely leave comments, usually just a lurker, but this is very detailed in explanation and leaves no questions unanswered, like an academic approach to everything to know about minmaxing your account, if I encountered this guide when I started I would be so grateful (TL 69 so no need now) but I think a lot of players would be insanely lucky to have this when starting out, love you man this is wonderful ❤❤❤

I just started this game about a week ago and this, by far, is the most clear, concise and helpful video i have found. I've been hesitant to do a lot of things in game with my characters because as a f2p, I don't want to make a big mistake so every decision seems like a big deal. This guide did a great job in letting me know what to worry about and what not to worry so much about, which means i can now enjoy the game more. This might sound a bit dramatic to a lot of people but I'd never played a gacha game before, nor a game in this turn based genre, so the learning curve has been steep. Thanks MrPokke.

Quick one: Herta Shop LC same concept as Battle Pass LC, get 1 copy to S5, do not get multiple S1. All good, depends on who is your main DPS. Skip Texture of Memories; doesn't make your team tankier, only your tank. There are also a lot of good preservation lightcones like Day One and Landau's Choice.

I'd recommend raising Serval over Danheng
There are many many robot/lightning weak enemies in the beginning of the game and AoE break is king until you gear up for decent crit builds

I really like the breakpoints on the powerpoint showing what you should be doing at each Trailblazer level threshold, Im currently at endgame TL54 started during DHIL banner since i got access to the PS5 tech test. And i didnt know that the Golden Calyx was already maxed, so even I learned something and im not a completely new player lol. Will definitely be farming those books and credits till i hit TL60

Honestly the best HSR guides/general content on Youtube. Appreciate all the work you put into these!

[maevethefox]

This was very very helpful, thank you!

I've played on and off for a few months, hit TL50 smacking through the story, but mostly just messed around and didn't take teams seriously.

Now that I have a new phone that can play a bit while waking up and before bed, I'm trying to shape up my account and this taught me a ton that helped me a ton to prioritize my built up fuel and stamina.

Oh, just gonna add something. If you have gotten a 5 star early on the departure banner, there is no need to continue summoning on that banner as it only guarantees 1 5 star. You can get 2 or more of course but the chances are low so on this occassion, use the tickets on the standard banner.

As a new player in 2024 this was helpful thank you man! You’ve helped streamline my experience a tonne!

[llama]

Really did opened up new ways to progress more. Thank you!

[Divine-General-Mahoraga]

For the lightcone bit, if you manage to get a three star meshing cogs LC save it. Its a good LC for your supports.

Best beginner guide I’ve seen! I’ve been back several times as I’ve progressed in the game

[DXcellenceReturns]

this guide is pretty goated. Played a bit when it first came out but stopped at like tb 15 due to lost ark lol. Currently playing again and got firefly and ruan mei so im using them with the standard gallagher and hmc comp. Im at tb 45 and farm relics a bit(only 8 runs a week for the battle pass weekly requirement for my firefly) and rest is xp and credits. Been smooth sailing so far

[Azuraichii]

No wonder many HSR content creators started making these types of videos, it's for the playstation bros

[SublimedGolem]

New to the game and just watched your video. Great information and helped me make some changes to my efficiency.

Don't forget to raise your Main Character. Without spoiling much - they will be very versatile and could be more and more useful in future patches while being a great unit

[damnwhyisitsohard]

me who is level 69 watching as thinking am beginner

[Daniel-dzpj]

Dont forget to raise your physical MC to a point, theyre needed for story progression in Belobog 👍
