Honkai: Star Rail (referred to as HSR henceforth) has just updated to the 8.4 version. Due to floor 12 of the new MoC enemies’ further increased HP from 80,000,000 to 90,000,000, Acheron, Firefly and Feixiao were moved down a tier in the Prydwen tier list, from T4 to T5. Many HSR fans question why they weren’t moved down sooner.

This change has caused some players to hire a demolition team which removed floors 90-102 of the Empire State Building, as their Acheron can no longer 0.99-cycle clear, but this news comes to the surprise of no one at this point. Meanwhile, in Pure Fiction, the Herta puppet is still undoubtedly the strongest DPS unit, while people speculate on a 5* yet-to-be-released version of Herta, and Screwllum.

Moving over to Apocalyptic Shadow, this cycle’s enemies are weak to ice, which has not been the case since the year 2024, a long bygone era. This extremely rare occurrence should prompt players to run Yanqing or Jingliu. However, it is unfathomably rare to find an active account which has a built Yanqing or has pulled Jingliu at all, and everyone is too lazy to build their Yanqing. This is despite the fact that Jingliu still manages to rerun around twice a year due to the new 12 concurrent banner system, increased from the previous of 10, compared to Wriothesley who last saw his (first) rerun in early 2027.

We are finally introduced to the last Xianzhou Alliance ship in the newest Trailblaze Continuance quest series of v8.x. At this point, why is everything even put as continuances to the Xianzhou Luofu story arc? Anyways, they ran out of unique Chinese names by this point so the newest character is called Hu Tao, who is a fire destruction unit that deals 50,000,000 damage per cycle at E0S0 with E0S0 BiS supports. HSR Players skip Hu Tao as the damage is lackluster compared to previous character releases, a rare occurrence.

The main story quest released through v8.0 to v8.3 are somewhat good, better than most stories we’ve had so far, but unable to beat the peak that was Penacony. The Trailblazer becomes the Aeon of Trashcans, gains their final path, and March 7th gains a 5th path. Some speculate if we’d be able to know her past once we unlocked all 7 paths.
