I want to ask, I have Silver Wolf at E2 that, “When an enemy enters battle, reduces their Effect RES by 20%.” Does this considered as an debuff on enemy action? And if this can trigger Acheron flowers?
Nope.
What with the doompost going on here ? I have seen her beta and stuffs, she seems quite alright tbh. Aside from limited to Nihility teammates, I feel like she is still better on weaker account than JY would, JY without Yukong E6 or Sparkle or even Ruan Mei can sometimes feel lacking. Not bad mouthing him tho, I play him a lot so that is how I felt when it comes to his team, especially when I use him on my friends accounts
The range of things getting from really great to very very bad is much stiffer on Acheron.
If you don’t have Yukong E6 (which is not even part of his main team) or Sparkle or Ruan Mei, you could have Tingyun, you could have Asta, you could have Hanya, you could have Bronya, you could have Topaz, you could even go for debuffers like Pela, some even used BlackSwan as support.
Now imagine Acheron without Pela and Silverwolf.
And at their bests, JY has the better e0s1 team, which is actually calculated to be 2nd only to DHIL e0s1 team (due to Sparkle raising the bar for him too). JL follows 3rd, which is also stronger than Acheron’s best e0s1 team.
Same with LC. If you don’t have JY’s sig LC, you would have better choices than Acheron.
I see, but Pela + Gui as her teammate seems fine in many beta at least
Well Yukong E6 was great enough before Ruan Mei and Sparkle come around 😀
thats the thing tho she have tight restrictions on nihility teams like DHIL restrictions of SP consumption which is why she needs a bit of more dmg probably somewhere between jingliu and DHIL tier kind of dmg
are we getting a v5?
It’s never gone beyond V4 from what I can tell. Besides, I think the beta is over so these are the final versions of the characters.
Damage was never the issue. Her main issue is that outside of her signature, her options are limited to two gacha LCs. She can cheese and use Fermata if your partner is Black Swan or Sampo but overall her signature wins by a large margin.
The rest of the hate comes from her not needing Harmony waifus until E2 and people consider that whale bait because apparently only Silver Wolf and Pela are acceptable nihility characters for her and if you don’t have them you can never clear anything.
It does make for a fun read though, seeing them attacking anyone who so much as hints they want Acheron.
I just noticed how she literally outclassed Seele in every part of her kit.
Her skill alone has higher ST dmg than Seele’s skill even if maxed at lvl 12, and her kit also have splash dmg.
Same with ult, stronger ST dmg than Seele’s ult even if maxed at lvl 12.
Acheron’s bonus dmg is also higher than Seele’s bonus dmg even if maxed at lvl 12
All of Acheron’s traces are offense oriented. Some of Seele’s are defensive.
Acheron’s E1 gives 18% crit rate, while Seele’s E1 only gives 15% and only if the enemy is 80% hp or lower.
Be careful. Such words are blasphemy in the eyes of some around these parts. The AKCHUALLY army approaches
What is the AKCHUALLY army?
The Doomposters who will not miss a beat to hit you with “UM ACTUALLY…” if you express any opinion that might sound like the doomposted character isn’t as bad as they claim
So an average AKCHUALLY army behaves like:
Someone: Acheron is good / not bad.
Akc: No, Acheron is actually bad!
Am I right?
Insert some extra reasoning that is easily disproven and you’re golden!
Seele is already outclassed by Jingliu and Dan IL. Why don’t you compare Acheron against one of them so it can be fairer?
There are more hoops and loops for DHIL and JL.
But if you want, all of Acheron’s scalings are stronger than JL’s and Acheron’s Ult has higher scaling than DHIL’s enchanced BA. You can check them yourself. It’s available on this this site.
tbh i was considering sustain welt to fill up one of the nihility slots so i can slap in a RM or bronya
Make sense about the LC
Lol I own all those Harmony Waifu myself but I don’t see a problem
I own 2/3 and I benched one lol
It’s not a real problem with the character as not every character has to fit the standard but more of a personal thing, which instead of phrasing it as such, the dear doomposters make it seem like No Harmony = Worst Character To Ever Character, and there’s plenty of evidence to show that was never the case. But you get how it goes. Watch as Boothill receives the same treatment.
problem is not Acheron herself but lack of teammates given how strong RM, Sparkle and Bronya are. Harmony is just too OP, and mihoyo doing the same mistake they did in genshin – they release new units based on strength of already existing ones of same role, thus what was already OP will become even more OP (i.e. Harmony and Destruction), while those which dragged behind (for example, Hunt or Nihility) will continue to drag behind because new units will be only better then previous units of same role instead of being on-par with actual top meta units.
So in case of Acheron if you dont want to wait for half year (and by that time another wave of powercreep might happen), you need E2S1. Nobody saying she will be unplayable, no, Kafka was perfectly playable before BS, but she was simply weaker then others.
I think it is still acceptable with the harmony line up currently, but I heard rumor about Robin is going to be even more OP than the two, if that is true then yea, I think this will be very unhealthy
Hmm I will wait and see how E0/S1 Acheron perform with current characters, but I don’t think it will be that important as long she can clear within 3 – 4 cycles for me personally
If her preliminary leaked kit is not changed significantly, she should be on the same level tbh as she does not provide something game changing. But we’ll have to see
Robin made situation for E0 Acheron even worse. One of the good things in not using Harmony was allowing flexibility and harmony stacking in another half. Hyper carry with 2 of RM, Sparkle, Bronya (E1S1+) just feels so good but robs your another half. But now by simply selecting Robin instead of Acheron, assuming you already have enough dps characters you are clearly improving your account, while E0 Acheron will be improvement only if you dont have Kafka+BS, JY+Sparkle, overinvested DHIL and/or Jingliu. Aventurine (and ongoing Sparkle) is also amazing and Acheron being placed in between all those cool supports looks like bad investment of your pulls.
Of course Acheron has unique feature of toughness ignore, so mihoyo can just start spamming setups where enemies in different waves of completely different types, but even if that happens, it wont last as they will quickly adjust moc/pf to other new units afterwards.
I really doesnt like this take on the new harmony unit gonna be better when there still about 8 weeks more before change here and there. But yeah if we really talk about leaks. i would say 100% FF to all isnt that good over 50% FF that sparkle give to your dps/ 100% FF from bronya that is locked in spamable skill over once in 3-4 turn ultimate. That 100% FF in my opinion just gonna be useful to give turn to your team before next rotation in, but yeah unless that ultimate makes your times fast forwarded to your 1-2-3-4 team listing, its gonna be harsh on your team rotation.
I think I am good then, already have E1S1 RM, E0S1 Sparkle, E2S1 Bronya
I currently have enough to pull Robin + someone else in the between right now so I will see who I will commit on later
Robin just got dripped. Will she work with Acheron assuming she is e2? Are there rumors of her kit yet?
Based on the original leaks, I guess ya.
It was: Skill gives attack boost. Ultimate gives advanced forward and a damage buff, while her eidolons make her ult give more buffs. Her talent gives everyone crit damage and speed.
She’s basically a rehashed combo of various other harmonies but I mean there’s only so many ways to buff.
But if Aventurine taught me anything, early leaks are very unreliable, so we gotta wait to know for sure.
Can’t wait to see all these Acheron wanters cope hard once she gets released
“The game is easy”
“She can still clear contents”
“I pulled her because of the animation”
“It’s Raiden Mei”
“She is just hot”
Pick your poison
Man I’m gonna miss you when the next Beta starts. I hope you continue to be sad and pathetic in the next character you doompost. It was fun!
Because every character has to be better and more universal than the last one. Keep malding, you’re the only one loosing anything here here.
Implying you haven’t pulled a single character because you liked them and instead are a meta slave? Cringe.
I have a curious question : how does Acheron’s ultimate fare against shields?
I’m wondering because I was using someone’s Jing Yuan and a Perkins robot just tanked a whole fat juicy 10 stacks of Lightning Lord’s sword thrust with its cute headbutt shield; it was hilarious and sad at the same time. I really hope this won’t be the case for Acheron because she attacks 3 times in her ultimate, but I’m not sure. I hope someone can test it for me.
In theory, the first attack should remove the barrier and the others deal damage as normal. Her ult is counted as seperate attacks, not one attack with multiple hits like Lightning Lord, so it should be fine 😀
That’s what I thought as well, but I’m worried the entirety of her ult would be counted as 1 action. It’s not a deal breaker or anything, more like it’s gonna be hilarious if that one Perkins robot managed to single-handedly tank the whole ultimate, proving that Perkins is the real emanator of Qlipoth the Preservation all along lol.
Welp, I just read Dazz’s comment on page 8. Looks like the Perkins robots do tank the whole ultimate with their shield lmao. Stand proud Perkins, you’re strong.
Damn that’s impressive. Newfound respect for Perkins
Acheron giving a private interview:
“I fear no man,
but that thing… ”
*shows image of Perkins*
“It scares me.”
I saw this mame are very fitting here. 😄
I don’t understand what are the people smoking, who say that Acheron is not strong enough. 😄
Acheron’s Skill Damage: Main/Adj 160%/60% x1.6 = 256%/96%
Acheron’s Ultimate Damage: Single+AoE 372%+300% x1.6 = 595%+480% (Total=1075%)
and that is just the bare minimum she can do, not to mention that her Ultimate ignores Weakness Types aswell! 😃
(I didn’t even calculate the -20% All-Type RES into that.)
Also I only calculated the Ultimate for single target, ignoring the fact that if there are other targets then the total damage is even higher!
If I add 4 extra enemies (so there are 5 in total) then each of those 4 suffer AoE damage, so in that case the Total Damage = 2995% 😆
(And all she needs for all this is 2 Nihility Team Mates, no Harmony required.)
On top of all this Acheron is the first character who’s Technique activates on Every Wave, not just at the beginning of Battle! (Which ignores Weakness Types aswell!)
Also Acheron is the first character who just simply instant kills normal enemies on the spot with her Technique, doesn’t even enter Battle!
If we take all those things into account, Acheron is easily the most powerful damage dealer character released so far in Honkai Star Rail!
Her ult’s single target damage is 372% x 1.6 not (372%+300%) x 1.6
So the damage is 595% up to 2515 for 5 targets
2515%*
her ult is a single target that turns into all enemies hit when hitting an enemy with crimson knot
You forgot her A6 adding another 150%, 6 hit and 25% per hit. So if there is only one enemy then her ult dmg is (372 + 150) * 1.6 = 835.2%
For AoE with 5 Enemy then her total dmg is (372 + 300 * 4 + 150) * 1.6 = 2755.2%
For Aoe With 3 Enemy then her total dmg is (372 + 300 * 2 + 150) * 1.6 = 1795.2%
Plus she have RES PEN boost 20% and DMG boost up to 90% … her DMG boost can consistenly max up to 90% if you can use ult every 3 turn.
Now compare it to DHIL with 500% single target and 180% adjecent(2 enemy).
For Single Enemy DHIL dmg = 500%
For AoE with 3 Enemy DHIL dmg is (500% + 180% * 2) = 860%
Plus DHIL have dmg boost max up to 60% but his DMG boost only max on 7th hit can’t consistent 60% from the first hit. Same with his CRT dmg boost 12% max up to 48% only on 4th hit to 7th hit of his attack.
Only consistent boost is his 24% CRT DMG boost on Imaginary Weakness Enemy.
For DMG department Acheron is the highest dmg in the game. The only problem is to make her ult faster. Not many teammate right now is very compatible with Acheron (But for the future maybe there will be many character made for Acheron like Sparkle for DHIL). And another problem for me is Acheron toughness reduce capability is not very good. Her ult only reduce 60 toughness same as her skill compare to many that have 90 or 120 toughness reduce (but may be because her ult can reduce toughness of any element? I just hope it is higher like 90 not 60).
real
“On top of all this Acheron is the first character who’s Technique activates on Every Wave, not just at the beginning of Battle! ” – this is literally a direct lie. The Jingliu technique also works at the beginning of each wave. Is there something special about this?
I just got welt’s lightcone (on standard banner), should I still pull for acherons lightcone?
For every character, Signature is always better. If you can spare the jades, you should. Otherwise, Welt’s is one of the only two non signature LCs she can use so you can use it.
Just like all Lightning cores (Kafka and JY), she will eventually bloom into a much more powerful unit.
You may want to skip her now if you are really eating bottom of barrels, but she will eventually get much much stronger.
Is this what’s gonna be an equivalent of an Archon? Hell, JY is much better than her? like wtf?!
Like how? Ya sure JY dmg with sparkel & Ting yun is little bit better than Acheron with out any support, but you are gonna run 2 debufer with def shred
Can’t wait for him. He will be great in a lot of teams. Teams with Ruan Mei will specially benefit him a lot since he would get incidental dmg increase while protecting everyone. Definitely a must pull. Saving my gems for him and Firefly. If Robin is good, Ill get her too.
just IF,
“IF Archeron is a MUST-PULL-LC SIGN UNIT then she ain’t worth it”
Just saying..
i’m not a Nihility player, i don’t have Kafka or BS
the only LC i have for Nihil just GNSW (S1) and Resolution (S1)
and i’m pretty fucking sure that won’t change anything if i put on her.
Skill issue
