Starter Characters Only: 6.3A Spiral Abyss
Video without text commentary: • Starter Characters Only: 6.3A Spiral Abyss...
This took a total of 529 battles across all accounts.
The footage represents theoretical 3-star clears, combining clips from two separate runs for each chamber. Many of you have asked about prioritizing my health. Due to the difficulty of managing high enemy HP pools, as well as shill mechanics (mechanics that strongly favor certain team archetypes or characters and punish players for not using them), I chose to use spliced 3-star clears to avoid burning out for future versions. We've reached a point where I sometimes need nearly perfect RNG and minimal mistakes on both sides, so having to reset a good run over a single error can be exhausting. Unfortunately, this might become the norm, as the details on HomDGCat's website suggest these trends will continue. I appreciate your understanding!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How do you change teams between chambers?
Players can’t change teams mid-run. Instead, you need to abandon the current run, set up new teams, and bring them to the desired chamber. Abandoning a run does not clear any stars you’ve already earned.
Q2: Why and when were Fischl, Sucrose, and Razor considered starter characters?
So far, I’ve been following the convention used by other players I know (@ValaineDeathWhizkersz, @Enviosity, @liilli7134), who considered starter characters to be those obtainable for free from permanent features in the game (e.g., Amber, Xiangling, Lynette, etc.) or from the Beginners’ Wish (Noelle).
Since “Witch's Homework: Invite Character” (from version 6.1) is also a permanent feature that gives a character for free, this logic suggests that Fischl, Sucrose, and Razor should be treated as starter characters.
However, because you can only select one of these three, it makes sense to restrict the choice to a single character across all three chambers for each version. So far, I’ve only been using Fischl.
Q3: How did the Traveler switch between Aether and Lumine?
I fish for good cards on multiple accounts, combining footage from accounts with different Travelers to produce the videos. Strong cards have become essential for meeting DPS checks, especially during Grief-Stricken rotations.
Q4: Why aren’t standard banner 5-star characters considered starter characters after version 6.1?
Following the same convention as Q2, starter characters must come from permanent free features.
The Wiki notes for the "Uncover Lunar Realms, Hone the Eventide Radiance" event: "After the Version 'Luna II' update and until the end of the 'Song of the Welkin Moon' Version." This means the feature only lasts for the Nod-Krai major patch and is not permanent, so standard banner 5-stars aren’t considered starters.
More Information About Chamber 12-1-1 (Perpetual Mechanical Array)
The Perpetual Mechanical Array (PMA) can waste a lot of time if it gets locked into an attack animation after its HP drops below 35%. Ideally, the PMA should stop attacking as soon as it hits this threshold, entering Defensive Mode quickly. There’s an AI manipulation strategy that can help achieve this.
An example of this AI manipulation can be seen here, with more details in the description: • Starter Characters Only: 5.0 Spiral Abyss .
More Information About 12-2-1 (Wayob Manifestations)
Details about the Wayob Manifestations are too extensive to include here, but you can find them in the description of an older video: • Starter Characters Only: 5.7 Spiral Abyss .
