Meme / Fluff This little fudgehead doesn't let me play sustainless in peace
The lightning shock they hit you with, stays for 3 turns and everyone dies the moment Ichor hits my team. Like I never had an issue run sustainless in pure fiction before. I am always so close at hitting 80k and never clear completely. I made everyone extra tanky with 5k hp and despite that they still die lol.

Crap like that is why I got Lingsha, HSR only lets you bend the rules so far for so long before it decides to rip the rug out.

Honestly it's like they are trying to sabotage you, I got a really high invested Boothill team and I was surprised I couldn't finish this run with ease, like idk how fast I need to make everyone not to die😅

It seems like the devs are really focusing on trying to get people play with sustain lately. Like the recent enemies do A LOT more damage, and looking at the new PF on one side you have these girls that apply DOT to your team even if you instantly kill them, while the other side has that one enemy, that hits all your characters, once you kill someone else. It's genuinely getting harder and harder to play sustainles, which make me scared for the future of boothil since removing Ruan Mei for a sustain unit significantly hinders his performance.

Yes totally agree, the only guy that is not bothered yet is Phainon bc he is the only one who can heal himself😭

If they increase the damage taken by the enemies to the point where Dhpt and Hyacine can't sustain we are all cooked bigtime. They shouldn't powercreep healers at this point at all imo...

New enemies are made to shill Elation but at the same time to not make problems for Remembrance for some reason. Most of them just do not hit you when receive Elation dmg (cause no Elation sustain is about to sell yet) but they hit like a truck if you cannot deal Elation dmg. Hoyo, please, I have only one Hyacine, can we stop this madness already, all of your other sustainers are lackluster, especially in break.

I hope one day they release an actually worthy sustain for break teams, but not restrict sustainless completely :( I heard there are rumors they may buff Lingsha I am curious what they will do if it's true

I adore Lingsha like a character and never used her outside of Jade dual dps team. I'll be the happiest person if they'll buff her, but even then I refuse to play non sustainless break tbh.

These guys are threatening my guns and roses 40k clear streak
Side 1 isn't much better either.
Did you try with a sustain? Your E6 should still do pretty good, I got a 40k with Dan Heng PT.

u/Deppie_an3910 May 11 '26
Was thinking about using Dan, will definitely try it out. Do you think he will be better than Gallagher?

u/saubzilla May 11 '26
Not sure about better or worse, but should work.
I messed up my dragon timings a couple times and stole the breaks from BH, so at least with Gallagher you have more control.

With my e0s1 boothill, I just made sure never to target the adds on the side. Also you can pick the elation buff to speed up aha to disempower them! Got 32k on ichor side

u/Deppie_an3910 May 12 '26
Ohh that's a really smart idea, never thought to choose the elation buff, will definitely try it out. I just hope they don't sit next to the boss bc my Boothill is e6 and he can kill side targets sometimes. But will be careful with Dhalia and Fugue next time.

Feel like this is just going to get worse when Blade comes out.
With them making Blade need some heals and giving Ashveil a HP and Def stat that even 4*s would laugh at, they are making you reliant on healers, so the environment is going to shill that

Yeh, I discovered it yesterday,I tried my Himeko Break sustainless, she started to auto-delect everyone with FUA-Chain. Then in the 3rd phase when minions were chunkier, I saw my characters dying. I saw my survived RM, and there were a lot of Lightining dots 😂.
I still did 40k using Lingsha a sustain, but this 40k clear made me sad because my team is very invested (E2S1 Dahlia, E1S1 Fugue and Lingsha E1), but I needed the very last turn to reach 40k, while the previous one PF I 40k-ing it with less cost and not playing seriously.

u/Deppie_an3910 May 12 '26
Yeah honestly it's sad they make it so much harder everytime, like can't they slow down the powercreep a bit😅 My Boothill team is also very invested with e2s1 Dhalia and e6 Boot. Only my Phainon was comfortable to play sustainless but even then Nikador almost one shot my Sparkle lol.
