Kafka

Who doesn't like Kafka? I'm sure 99% of people who started playing Hsr did so because of her. I did too, but NOT because I was gooning to her. I actually was into Franz Kafka's literature in 2022/2023. And when I noticed that a character in that game was named after him, I had no other choice but to try it out. I even got her first Eidolon (E1) , because I hoped to lose to Bailu, who is a Healer in HSR. She was good to have in the beginning, because she was the only 5 Star. 3 Years later, I'm happy I didn't lose, as unfortunately, Bailu isn't good meta-wise anymore, and Kafka, on the other hand, is (´• ω •`). I LOVE DOT. If you aren't familiar with it, it's basically just debuffing the Enemy until they die. Naturally, I got her best team with Hysilens E1 and Black Swan E0, but I plan to pull for one of their LCs when they rerun. I usually switch depending on my other teams, if I use DHPT or Huohuo. It's honestly insane how long I've been playing DOT (ᵕ—ᴗ—). Even in the olden times, I always played DOT in the Simulated Universe , and now I play them in AA . I even got my first clear on the AA boss with them. Nonetheless, I really hope that Hoyo decides to release more than one yearly DOT character once. One can compare DOT to the Follow Up archetype (Fua), since they're similarly gimmicky. Yet Fua has so many new characters released, and DOT has the three DOT girlies and the 1.X Guys :/. But it isn't all that bad, since I know I can safely invest, e.g. pull Lcs and Eidolons and not have a character that's 10x stronger released the next version (Hyperbole).

Silverwolf(Lv.999)

Wow, what a surprise, the self-proclaimed gamer likes the gamer character. Honestly, fair enough. She’s the first time-limited character I pulled, even before Kafka. This means I’ve had her for more than 4 Years now. I inevitably got attached to her. (❀❛ ֊ ❛„)♡. My favourite aspect of her is her relationship with Blade. She's very endearing with all the Stellaron Hunters , but especially with Blade; it’s very apparent how much she likes him. I think it’s very cute how they have a familial relationship akin to siblings. Even before Silverwolf outright saying she cares for him in 4.3 and Blade being depicted as a stay-at-home dad in 4.2, it was obvious that they cared for each other. Of course, I had to pull for SW Lv.999 E2S1, which makes her my most invested character so far. I also got Yao Guang just for her, so I could have her bis team, even though I didn’t particularly like Yao Guang. Once Pearl comes out, I’ll pull for her to complete the elation team.

Sparkle

I have a Love/Hate Relationship with her... On one hand , I got her character and Lc in 20 Pulls with no Pity . I also really liked her in the Penacony and the new Planarcadia Story with Sparxie. On the other hand, she's kind of... annoying? I guess? I don't really know how to explain it. There are so many more characters that I'd like to see playable, e.g. Screwllum, which makes me kind of upset that I literally got her on a whim, since when she first came out, I didn't even plan to pull for her. On the same version, Black Swan was released, and because I had Kafka, I obviously pulled for her. However, in the second phase, I put 10 Pulls into Sparkle's Banner and got her. Then I pulled on her Lc banner, since I never pulled on one before. AND OF COURSE I GOT THAT TOO. I know this sounds arrogant, but I just wish I had that kind of Luck on a character that I had liked more ヽ(‵﹏´)ノ. Over time, I grew to like her character, and now here we are. In retrospect, it makes sense that something so irrational happened to me, considering she's an Elation pathstrider. In 4.0 I pulled for Sparxie.

Huohuo

My favourite little glippy gloopy Spelunky! (≧◡≦) I relate to her SO MUCH it almost hurts. I won’t get into details of why, but I am happy that they added someone quite similar to "me". Meta speaking, she’s an absolute beast, and I do not get why people slander her so fucking much. Not all teams benefit from her energy regen, but the ones that do A LOT. Considering she was released in 1.5 and got a shit novaflare, it’s very impressive she lasted this long. I reckon she’ll last even a few more years, even though her actual healing capabilities are lacking. I also don’t think Hoyo would directly powercreep by adding another sustain, that’d regenerate energy, since they are too busy adding new gimmicks/paths. I have her at E1S1.
