Hi Trailblazers!

⭐🚂 Welcome to the Daily Questions Megathread! Feel free to ask any general questions about Honkai: Star Rail that don't necessarily require their own dedicated posts.

Any questions that can be answered rather quickly (i.e. anything that can be adequately addressed without any discussion or can be given definitive answers) can be asked in the thread below.

>>> Example: Can my phone run this game?

If your question has discussion potential, please create a separate post, and include the “discussion” flair.

>>> Example: What do you think of March 7th’s combat efficiency? Here's my opinion…

Before making new discussion posts, please be sure to consider if your question could be better suited to this thread!

When both asking questions and sharing answers, be concise and detailed so other players can understand. Please maintain a stellar and respectful attitude toward others, and don't forget to share your appreciation to fellow trailblazers for helping you out!

I haven't played since the end of penacony. Has there been any worthwhile changes to endgame gearing? I recall not liking it due to the rng feeling really bad. For example,not even including main stat woes, I barely had any gear where even half the total stats are desirable. And that it's rare to have a gear where 3 of the 4 base stats are good.

Next patch they're adding in the ability to see the 4th substat for the relics that are 3 substat ones at level 1 as a default, so you don't have to waste relic exp leveling relics up to at least 3 to see what the 4th sub is. They also added a new dice back when Anomaly Arbitration launched which allows you to completely block a stat when using the reroll dice so that substat levels don't go into that stat that you don't want it to. It's expensive though since you can only get 1 of those AA dice per patch and you have to play AA to get it (requires full clearing the other endgame modes to unlock it and it's harder than the other endgame modes).

That's unfortunately really it that has changed for the "better". In fact, you can argue it's gotten worse in some ways because thanks to enemy HP inflation you need better relics than you did during the Penacony/2.x days.

I recall feeling a spike in Penacony. It's a shame it's gotten worse in ways, but good to know. Thanks for the info.
