Alright, let’s talk about the hsr 2.5 banners. I finally got some time to sit down and actually look at what they rolled out this time.
So, I booted up the game, you know, did the usual daily stuff first. Gotta get those chores out of the way. Then I navigated over to the Warp screen. Always a bit of anticipation there, isn’t there? Wondering if maybe, just maybe, they put someone up I’ve been waiting for.
First Look
Clicked on the event banner section. And there they were. Okay, first phase, saw who was headlining. Wasn’t exactly who I was betting on, gotta be honest. Heard some whispers, some guesses online, but this one caught me a little off guard.
Then I checked out the second phase banner character. That one felt a bit more predictable, seemed like a lot of folks were pointing towards them showing up. No big shocker there for me.
My Reaction and Thoughts
My first thought? “Hmm, interesting choice.” Not bad characters, mind you. Definitely useful, seen plenty of people make good use of them. But for my account? Right now? I had to really think about it.
I poked around a bit more, looked at the 4-stars featured alongside them. Sometimes those are the real prize, right? Or at least, they can tip the scales if you’re on the fence.
- Checked the first phase 4-stars: Okay, got a couple of those already pretty high Eidolons. One I wouldn’t mind getting more of, but not desperately.
- Checked the second phase 4-stars: Similar story. Decent lineup, but nothing screaming “PULL NOW!” for my specific needs.
The Big Decision: To Pull or Not to Pull?
So then came the hard part. Looking at my pile of Stellar Jades. It’s… well, it’s seen better days after the last couple of banners I went for. Rebuilding the stash takes time, you know?
I weighed the options. Do I risk it for one of these main characters? Would they really change up my teams that much? Or is it better to keep saving? Maybe for a rerun I missed, or for whoever might be coming in 2.6 or beyond.
Chatted briefly with a friend who plays. They were hyped for one of the characters, already planning their pulls. Good for them, seriously. But hearing their plans kinda solidified my own thoughts.
In the end, I decided to hold off. Yeah, gonna skip this round. It feels like the smarter play for me right now. Build up those jades, wait for a character that really clicks with my current goals or just someone I personally like way more.
So, that’s my little journey with checking out the hsr 2.5 banners. Looked ’em over, thought it through, and decided to play the long game. Patience is key sometimes, right? We’ll see what the next update brings.
