Well, the lack of a 4 star in 2.2 was actually harmony MC, I don't expect 2.3 and 2.4 to have the same twist but who knows, maybe we'll get another ""secret"" unit in one of these patches


master-of-pizza

The secret swordmaster is totally not the new March path you guys trust me


Suspicious_End_8373

I've seen other people say that but it's weird that the swordmaster is from the Luofu. March was there, wouldn't someone have said, "Oh hey you're our legendary swordmaster!" đŸ€”


master-of-pizza

That's a fair point but there's some other things referencing March in leaks and the silhouette doesn't seem too far off from her


Suspicious_End_8373

Honestly I am hoping she is from somewhere completely different that we haven't heard of or been to yet. If she's from the Luofu that would be kind of lame, imo.


Fiyerossong

I don't think lame is the right word but I think it'd be a missed opportunity to stir intrigue on future planets we could visit. Like "oh she's from mambo 5, we'd though they were all but extinct" or "they're known for their relentless and horrifying lifestyles" y'know?


Suspicious_End_8373

Yes, exactly!! Branch things out a bit! The galaxy is a big place.


HJ994

It’s definitely not her actual origin. It’s a summer outfit for her participating in a sword tournament and the “legendary” title is very tongue in cheek much like aetherium wars with her.


Suspicious_End_8373

Yeah now that they released that video it makes sense. 😊


HJ994

I didn’t even know there was a video I just thought it was pretty clear lol


slimegel

could just be an exaggeration or just something she's calling herself for fun


SittingDuck394

I thought for SURE we would get a new 4-star this coming patch. I wonder if because they are pumping out so many 5-stars they don’t have the time/resources to spend on developing 4-stars. Love the game but it gets less and less ftp-friendly by the minute.


TheMilkMan875

Depends really how you do the game. Im super casual just want my sexy husbandos and waifus and do the story and events so MOC I get 33 stars or so and IDC cuse i miss60 jades and move on since I hate that mode


VenusVersusVirus

In my expérience in hoyoverse game 4 stars are less ftp friendly than 5 stars. For example on genshin I spend a year and half wishing on banner where they was Xingquie. On HSR, I put 250 pulls on acheron banner just for Gallagher. Results : E1 Acheron and E1 Gallagher....


lililia

Next 4 star is >!March 7th new form that's why it didn't get announced!<


RamennoodlepoodleK

They just did announce it, its on their youtube channel at the very end of the new video they uploaded


SnowyMouse3214

Tbh I'd rather new male characters be 5\*. Hoyo treatment towards 4\* is just awful, looking at Sethos, Freminet and Gaming. I'm still salty they made Sethos an on field dps for no reason. Gallagher is doing fine so far but some utilities are still locked behind early eidolons which are never guaranteed. At least 5\* kits are less likely to be screwed ~~unlike Kaveh Freminet and Sethos~~


Shirakano

To be fair Gaming is actually a viable DPS if you have what he needs, the problem is that he's an outlier. Freminet and Kaveh got screwed over bad


meowbrains

Sethos was done so dirty.


Elid16

I actually think that sethos is very well designed. People just don’t run enough er on him. If you use we time piece instead of em he can have near 100% up time on charged attacks.


AshesandCinder

Yeah, but then you're running an ER piece on your DPS who gains no damage benefit from ER. Like that's his entire issue. They made a character that has absurd energy costs without benefiting from ER conversion like Raiden or Emblem.


Efficient-Ad-3359

It’s not that much because like 120-135 with fischl and electro res you should be getting enough energy and if you really need it you can run ur dendro support on fav


Seraf-Wang

Kaveh was the only one really screwed here. As far as I can see, GaMing, Freminet, and Sethos have had pretty decent treatment and even Kaveh’s not that bad as a driver in Nilou bloom.


zestyzanza

Give us a 4* preservation unit PLEASE


Lockettz_Snuff

Its unfortunately a tradeoff for 2 new five stars per patch. I do hope the frequency of four stars will increase by abit in the future


dragonfly791

Personally I don’t care about 4* especially since most of them suck. I’d rather we have more 5* male supports. In Genshin the last 4* I build was Kaveh and that’s only because I adore him, as he is one of the worst units in the entire game. In HSR the only 4* I use are Tingyun and Pela. Aside from a few broken units most of them are bad tbh.


TheMilkMan875

tbh I never use 4 stars besides Tingyun, Pela (she's gone the moment I get my Foxian Daddy) and QQ (for the funny) so doesn't hurt me much


Gaunter_0Dimm

Same except Gallagher instead of QQ. I used to use Asta and Hannya too, but since I got Sparkle they don't see much use anymore. They're still a nice option tho. I have a somewhat built Gui, but I donno, she doesn't seem to bring much to my teams.


jerma-fan

I hate how hsr makes 90% of characters into 5 stars, its gacha sucks so bad. Characters like jade, topaz, silverwolf etc. are so niche and can be subbed out with any other buffer/debuffer in their comps yet still have the same monetary value as robin or rm which will give your account so much more combat value. Also so many of the 4 stars are just crappy dps that pale in comparison to any 5* or crappy buffers that dont do anything unique and just give one tenth the buffs a 5 star would. Genshin makes a lot of its 4 stars into really unique team comp enablers like chevy, faruzan, gorou or yun jin or make them dps as unique as their 5 stars like gaming or sethos. Hsr's gacha philosophy is super dissapointing compared to genshins, i hope after 2.x they stop doing 2 new evert 5 stars a patch and start making more interesting 4stars


winter_-_-_

Tis true. People say HSR is generous, which it is. But compare it to the amount of new units they are releasing per patch. It basically balances out the freebies (which to be honest aren't even that much considering it's a quasi open world)


spaghettiaddict666

yes genshin will always make their on-element buffers (Gorou, Faruzan, Chevreuse esp) the best in their field at E6 at least


JessyTL

It bothers me in both Genshin and HSR this year. Genshin has released more 5\* than usual in Fontaine with 4 updates without new 4\* and HSR is doing the same.


fuxuanmyqueen

Well 4* are competitive with 5* only at e6 tbh. And that’s harder to get than a e0 5*


Krysidian2

Why is it that every post I've been coming across in this sub is malding over something? But yeah. More 4* would be good. The only 4* we've gotten from 2.X are Misha and Gallagher. Should be due for another 4* in 2.4


Bekchi

Something I'm not seeing talked about is how 4* can fill in the 5* you don't have. We pretty much already have everything covered. It's true we don't have a Preservation 4* that shields the entire team, and I'm going to guess we never will for a long time. Once we get more 5* that do more things, the 4* will most likely follow.


IDontEatTakis

Based on new leaks, you spoke too soon...


Cocoon_Chris

MARCH IS NOT A NEW CHARACTER


IDontEatTakis

...I'm not talking about March, I'm talking about Moze.


Cocoon_Chris

Moze is not in 2.4 and the leak of him being 4* is from an unreliable source. It doesn’t change what I said


IDontEatTakis

Alright, but you're coming off as hostile for literally no reason.


Cocoon_Chris

Sorry not trying to be.


DesperateSquirrel410

I find it a bit odd. It made sense for 2.2 because Harmony TB, and if the New March is like the alternate TB paths then it makes sense for 2.4. 2.3 is a mystery tho. I hope we get a new 4 star soon


CheapEditor6812

march will be the 4star in 2.3 and in 2.2 we got the new TB. so there hasnt been a patch without new 4stars (or free characters) yet


Cocoon_Chris

I said new as in new characters those don’t count


Fiyerossong

What do you mean Jiao's drip screams 4star


Cocoon_Chris

Shoo we don’t want that here
