the history of Honkai: Star Rail's off meta team..

as you all know mono Quantum is my favorite team comp in all of Aly storo the enjoyment comes from the aesthetic and feel of the team comp definitely not my love for the quantum girls Quantum being one of the best elements allowed this team to thrive in each content the game had to offer if this was any other element we wouldn't be having this discussion now let's go back to a time where this group was deemed to be the most cop team in all of honkai Star rail was made testing 2 of staro would feature Sor wolf as a usable character but she was much more different than the one you're all familiar with this version of s wolf had less supporting capabilities and was centered around her personal damage with the quantum break not only did silver Wolf's up ultimate not apply any Mass defense shred to the Target but it instead gave a quantum entanglement essentially making her more of a breakbot and selfish character if you think about it alongside future Quantum character she essentially be a much better sub DPS with a break effect oriented build and considering how consistently she can break in her respective Quantum teams this could have went whole nine yards lastly so roll's five star ly cone actually gave the character further selfish DPS implications because instead of it giving a vulnerability debuff on the enemy to increase team white damage and instead gave a mini quantum entanglement passive on the enemies with that same vulnerability debuff it's very clear why this version silver never made it to live as it could scale less effective the further we went into staro and would make her a much less flexible character to use H soro's 1.0 launch would only have one formulated place style there wasn't much discussion around others as other players were still getting used to the field of the game now compared to genin impact staro would form its various team comps and meta at a much faster rate but in my honest opinion it was due to those same genin players coming to staro and not repeating their same previous mistakes it also did help that the beta was accessible for many players before the release of the game so we knew what to expect or sort of there would be some changes to various characters not many but enough to realize that team building wasn't going to be as lineer as count your ABCs after this balance patch that this game is pretty much a more so balanced and fair game overall okay kick it off of heiko now we did go over heiko in the previous video but all you really need to know for the most part is that she now has burns on all of her attacks this character is insane now so sosuke well ultimate and talent effect is no longer a damage increase for well so it will not only be our first limited character of the quantum element but was also the character that pushed the oaba place St I was talking about earlier in the video being able to get an additional turn after killing enemy meant you would stack as many Buffs as possible and this damage dealer to ensure she would kill the Enemy at the end of her turn as time went on this style of play would be known as Hyper carry and that would go on to remain Seal's best team for just one patch the only competition to seal would be QQ a fourstar Quantum erudition character KQ had a lot of damage to potentially Riv that of seal and couple that with being a fourstar replayer will receive for free she would be an amazing replacement as the damage dealer only good RNG was on your side this was quite the risque a character this upcoming patch would release the pillar of the UN progress for Quantum team Not only was this character a must pull for anyone of the quantum element but she was also a staple in pretty much every team at the time of her arrival so for release in patch 1.1 and upon her arrival there was a few changes she brought to the overall game you completely ignore the elemental advantages of the enemy and would have more additional damages towards that same enemy due to the mass supporting capabilities of silverwolf couple this with being a nice character in the Point economy and receiving a lie in the same patch that kept further uptime on her debuffs so wolf would be the best character at the time or and one last thing if your allies were to equip the genius of brilliant Stars Relic set which gave defense ignore and further ignore the same defenses if the enemy has Quantum weakness this would bring seal and cuu to another tier the Duos will sool will carry on until we were to see patch 1.3 which would feature not only the defensive option of full Quantum team however there is one thing you must understand about this point in time in honk sto while being a character that was beneficial anywhere and everywhere there was a sub set of people that believed Sor wolf was an overrated character and worse than payload in a multitude of scenarios to play Devil's Advocate this was only true in content such as memories of chaos that rewards you for clearing as fast as possible better known as zero cycling however this style of play was not only inaccessible for the majority of players of the time but also downplayed the sheer comfortability and one toone Synergy serolf had with Quantum characters she enables so much and still holds us same same value even to this day these benefits wouldn't be enough to convince those of that belief but given with enough time the perception of Sur wolf would Age with the game patch 1.3 will roll around and the first half with contain damage dealer that much like we discussed in past videos would make everyone and everything feel Bleak in comparison seal and QQ even with the help of ser wolf would struggle to keep up with the massive damage output of Daniel is one thing to be the best in one or a few scenarios but to be better than everyone at everything while not having your dadad supporter it would only make sense as to why people continue to downplay the quantum team the damage healing had been increased exponentially I don't blame them ultimately it also doesn't help that the full experience of Sor wolf is not only locked behind now a light cone players can no longer redeem in a ton of speed substats as time went on more players would drop seal ultimately resulting in less usage of her as a character and around the same period would result in rumors of cuu being a better character in her best team not only did cuu need four idolon to reach this point but also dependent on good RNG to have better damage unlike seal if those same enemies didn't have Quantum weakness Kiku did even less damage because of seal's built-in Quantum resist penetration so this whole discussion was situational but nevertheless blown out of proportion in the same patch would however lie two defensive options both of which with Quanto typing and both having Hefty stay power even in present star fwan a five-star Quantum preservation would also be featured alongside Lynx a fourstar Quantum abundance at the time fwan would be the character most players would shift towards as she was the first defensive option to truly dip dip into other paths with the utility she offered fwan had a ton of damage mitigation for the team making her especially good against heavy-hitting enemies Fan's utility alongside her unmatched defensive option capabilities would be a team-wide critical rate boost free hit points CC blockage and personal damage depending on how she was built like mentioned in a recent Jing video Fu would fit nicely into any team comp that needed a defensive option but for the full Quantum team she would essentially be the wall for the pillar known as silverwolf lyns was a smaller wall for the full Quantum team but ultimately a best and SL teammate for damage dealers that needed more aggro the release of these two signaled an interesting shift into Star Wars short-term meta but there is one thing you must understand before we continue we technically had a full Quantum team at this point in Star rail buwan links alongside Sor wolf and seal or cuu would ensure you had a 100% chance to land that Quan weakness on the enemy he you could even use seal and QQ together replacing links it would just be rather clunky this double sense of option full Quantum team what an oddly long name had a lot of value in the hardest contents that star had to offer at the time and that would be swarm disaster enemies in a similar Universe swarm disaster would hit extremely hard and place tons of damage overtime effects onto fushan and her allies being Fan's biggest weakness links with her amazing cleansing on her ultimate would remove those harmful debuffs virtually making an unkillable team that could clear this hard game mode sure wasn't the best team damage wise but it at least had a use in Contents offered to to the player and I consider that a win as a dwood settle most players Reliance this variant of model Quantum was enough to clear their memories of chaos endgame but for the players that enjoy faster clears it lacked in that department replacing a defensive option to the team with a Harmony character would not only result in Faster clears but also meant you could save in resources for not having to build both links and fan the thing is that people aren't thinking about is it doesn't have to be mono Quantum in the sense that all four characters are mono you just need to match one of the elements and then you don't have to worry about it this short-term met ship would ultimately see bronia as a replacement of links in forming one of the best teams at the time furthermore depending on the element of the enemy you were fighting would results in the typing of the harmony character you would bring what I likeed best about the bronia variant was the damage Buffs with ultimate she gave to silverwolf and fwan which gave us a taste of what was to come later on this team would also show that hyperare would remain dominant and mono quanum itself was still a hyper carry like team the only difference was every character in the team having the same Elemental typing now finally could compete with the best characters of the time as those characters also function best in hyper carry comps 1.4 roll around and this upcoming damage dealer not only took Seal's precious Harmony character away but also has so much consistent damage to the point playing any other damage dealer except this one will result in the team having slower clear times and less consistency due to the change in in-game mob weaknesses jinglu was the best damage dealer to the release of her time she had a ton of damage up time with most of it being sent around her Elemental skill that consumed less of the skill point economy was mentioning function a lot better with bronia than that of seal jinglu also had even more damage because most of the enemies at the time had ice weakness and she was our first real quote unquote ice damage dealer at the time now while the quantum team never cared about what the enemies were weak to when there were more enemies on the field and those same enemies would see a rising hit points over time and changeing Elemental weaknesses it would become a lot harder to use seal with mid to low investment however these things would become more true as we go forward into star real it would also become apparent as to why there wasn't many Quantum weak en anymore which boils down to two things the existence of ser wolf and there hasn't been any Quantum damage dealer since Seal's release the meta was slowly shift back to hyper carry format hence why I mentioned the meta being shortterm in destruction Duo would make everything feel Bleak in comparison for a very long time the only notable releases to help combat this stale meta would be the release of Ruan May in XY and 1.6 well kind of the thing is about ruam being an ice character that could help with something's breaking may sound good on paper timately wasn't a buff to the incomplete monel Quantum team but was fun for a patch nonetheless at the very least Ruan May gave decent damage Buffs to seal and pwan and then with the added break effect and break effect efficiency gave Sor wolf even more value on a full break effect build XY was a Quantum four-star destruction character that was featured alongside Ruan but was ultimately a break bot and pretty much pigeon held to teams with ruam than that of being in the quantum team at that point just used QQ instead for better results in the quantum team 2.0 not only brought a bunch of new characters but also brought insight into the future of honai sto's meta Not only would the other quirky team of staro finally be complete but Sparkle would release in the second half of the same patch Sparkle being the five star Harmony character she was would bring the full Quantum team to new heights Sparkle not only posed herself as a best and Slot character for SE and QQ but also gave a ton of buff for the rest of the team as well she shifted not only Sor wolf but also fwan into a sub DPS oriented build with her team wide damage Buffs and F damage or crit Buffs depending on your Lon Choice the release of this character ultimately gave seal and QQ a huge boost in usage and more staying power in The Meta mono Quantum was meta and we can finally say that with certainty until the release of 2.1 that is acaron our first damage dealer since the launcher 2.0 not only took the pillar of mono Quantum away but also the pillar of current hyper carry teams as well Sur wolf gave acaron the debuffs she needs to get her ultimate online but also boosting the overall damage of acuron Sparkle gave the nice turn and crit damage with further damage Buffs and skill points that all boosted the damage of acaron acaron herself is able to break the toughness of the enemy regardless of the element of said enemy making her the first versatile damage dealer we have received versatility is the philosophy of mono Quantum which means the exclusivity is no longer there and acaron herself does more damage than any other character we have seen yet so I will leave you off with one final remark comfortability and versatility is the current strength of mono Quantum also with the team being as finalized as it is the only up we will see at this point is the replacement of the damage dealer considering damage numbers have ramped up for damage dealers over time expect this to be the future of the full Quantum team thank you for watching and have a nice rest of your day peace
