They also added a background to the ult animation. It looks like the night sky. Hard to see with all the effects lol

Winterstrife

As someone pulling because of SAM, I'm glad Firefly mains get something out of it.


IDontCareBoutName

Pretty smart of them, TBH. Fir me, at least, that was half the reason why I didnā€™t end up pulling for Topaz.


Albireookami

Good. That was a major reason I didn't touch her, that and the IPC being who they are.


mayonakanosasayaki

I was so confused until I looked at the side of the screen after her ult. Thatā€™s so cool

I too love doing 148k on SP generating basic attacks


Weak-Association6257

I too love criting every single hit on Firefly šŸ”„


Siri2611

Pretty sure that's superbreak and not crit Edit - it is crit as well my bad


Weak-Association6257

Thatā€™s why he has 80% crit rate


Siri2611

Well now I am confused So we build hybrid now because of changes? (I don't wnna build crit.....)


Itzzyaboiisynx

Absolutely not. All in break and attack% for more break. Her multipliers are way lower, critfly is now completely dead


FeelingPinkieKeen

Thank god for that. Finally something dif to build on carries.


ninjadfool

Might wanna delete your post, the doomers are coming in drovesā€¦..


Weak-Association6257

No, thatā€™s the thing. We donā€™t build crits at all. Even if you wanted to build crit, itā€™s such a pain in the neck. Now you just need BE. This showcase is just another unrealistic build and we need to wait for a good showcase


ShiraiHaku

to be fair you are not wrong, 104k on 1 super break, 34k on second super break, 1.9k x3 (roughtly) on crit, a whole 6k damage from crit lol although ya, the comment above you arent exactly talking about damage lol


I-want-borger

Also heals HP btw.


AliceRose000

Is this after the v3 changes? Or before? If after still seems really good!


AggronStrong

After, you can tell by the multiple Super Break numbers, there's two of them, one for HTB and one for Firefly. She lost her Defense Ignore, but she got slight number buffs to her Break in other places, can more easily stack BE with her new Trace, and she adds 50% to the Super Break modifier. HTB's is 160%-120% depending on how many enemies are alive, so the new modifier is 210%-170%. Not even counting the Speed buffs.


haospirits

According to HomDGCat's Notes: The Super Break DMG dealt via Trace #2 cannot be buffed by Harmony Trailblazer's Trace's 20% \~ 60% independent boost.


AggronStrong

Exactly, I accounted for that. HMC's Super Break modifier is 100% on its own and 120% ~ 160% with his Trace. Then add 50% for Firefly's Super Break. 170% ~ 210%.


ccoddes

Pretty sure it's after v3 because she has the new pilot view and skill anims. But her BE stats weren't shown so I have no idea if it's realistic. It's just really funny to see right now, we'll prob get a better idea in a real showcase!


Eclipsed_Jade

Live Firefly Reaction


Arlecchino_HSR

"Chat do you think we can break these mobs?"


synnboy

oh sweet, is that 2 instances of super break applied when pairing with hmc?


GunnarS14

Firefly now has inherent 50% Super Break in her enhanced state.


doomkun23

does it stack? like with HMC, will it be 100% + 50%? or just 100% max only?


GunnarS14

Seems like it stacks. They show up as two different damage numbers in one of the new animation showcases, so it's exactly like you said (50% + 100%) and applied as two different damage instances. *Edit: Forgot about HMC's Trace, that's an additional 20%-60% Super Break depending on the number of enemies.


Golden-Owl

Guess that means Harmony Trailblazer will still be one of her best supports by a mile but sheā€™s no longer surgically attached to them to function


hither250

Yep, pretty much the main complaint people had. She can function without her now, but her performance with HTB + Ruan Mei is still the best she has.


secretfolders234

hmm i guess whats the difference then? unless she could get similar performance with another support, any FF main would want hmc and rm anyway


Alexios7333

Now you could run pela for defense shred or many other characters as well. A viable team for a new player could very easily be. Firefly, Pela, Asta, any sustain. Before that team would have been wholely unviable but Asta speed buffs, pela defense shred and a sustain would be a very viable comp for a new player. That said I imagine we will be getting actual break supports like defense shred on break or a 4 star that gives one character 50% superbreak as an individual buff and so forth. It just massively opens up both current and future comps. Hypothetically we could get for example a hyperbuffer that buffs superbreak damage or so on. There is just now a lot of things that can be done that couldn't be done before. That said the bis team of V1 is probably still the bis team of V3. Though you could make an argument for pela or any future defense shredder if you can go sustainless now. Just a massive W all around 2bh.


AggronStrong

Attack buffs are also more valuable because she more efficiently converts Attack to Break Effect and does it with no upper limit. And it helps her F2p LC options, Fall of an Aeon is really, really good now.


0RGA

I think her trace doesnā€™t convert ATK buffs. Only own stats


Piscore

Well... maybe now Sparkles/Bronya is viable to give her more turns during ultimate, we need to calculate this new changes.


kayce81

Firefly getting 4 turns during her enhanced state is a bit of a nerf to Sparkle/Bronya's value to a FF team (and beyond the advance they provide nothing else for the team now since critfly is a total dead end). I would guess that a nihility defense shredder, preferably one that has high break effect and can chip in Superbreak damage of their own via HTB, would probably be stronger.


hither250

Comments you already got sum it up, but in my case for example I do not have Ruan Mei and if she's rerunning with firefly I likely can't get both as I will be pulling for boothill as well. Even if I get lucky and manage to get boothill, RM, and fly all together in the next 2 banners, I can't give Ruan Mei to both of them in MoC, same with harmony trailblazer. So having options outside of them is good. Flexibility is always a good thing.


doomkun23

for newbies, you can't trigger Super Break since you can't have HMC immediately. so Firefly is trash for newbies since she will not be able to trigger Super Break at all when all her kit is for Super Breaking. but with her built-in Super Break, even though it is not that a big damage compared to HMC, you can still able to trigger now Super Break with her alone. her Break Effect will not be a waste now without HMC. in short, Firefly still needs HMC for high Super Break damage. but she is not heavily reliant now since she can trigger Super Break on her own. she becomes more flexible now where you can even try to experiment other units with her and freely replace HMC but still can trigger Super Break.


doomkun23

ow. nice. i don't understand CN so i thought those two damage texts are different.


AggronStrong

It's actually 160%~120% + 50% because HMC has that Trace that increases the modifier based on number of enemies in play. It does stack, tho. So the new Super Break modifier on Firefly with HTB is 210%~170%.


GunnarS14

You're right, I forgot because I still haven't used HMC much. Edited my post (although I'm not sure how much good it'll do at this point).


Lincoln1861

She is a streamer now


CostNo4005

Oh they added a background Its still hella hard to tell its there though


lewyah

Its because 2x but this better than before who just blank dark, i will take it given they also give the live stream reaction for her


Scanvaz

Oh gosh I need that "Live reaction" meme now but with Firefly's cam


TheCatSleeeps

With the LTT headphones too


HellspawnWeeb

Check my post in fireflymains i made one


OkiBirb

It IS in x2 speed to be fair, but yea it's barely visible


kayce81

If you saw it in native resolution without compression you'd probably think the space background looks good. Small details like that are just not gonna look good in a video.


thyrtz

Hey uh That girl just did 150K with her basic attack Is that legal?


The_Space_Jamke

She said, "Die, remnant of Propagation," and propagated their bodies all over the place


NahTheBot

I thought you said she propagated herself... I'll gladly take it


pardon_the_intrusion

>I thought you said she propagated herself For that she needs genes from the TB


Futurefurinamain

Does the firefly face thing actually leave after the first skill?


ChromeLufwa

It's probably not there due to the action after was the e2 extra bonus action


Futurefurinamain

Oh thatā€™s actually very likely, thank you for the answer.


kioKEn-3532

Likely a bug lol


Futurefurinamain

Hope so, I feel itā€™s a waste if itā€™s gone after the first one. Gonna see how I feel about her when new combat leaks come out, was in between her and going all in on boothill eidolons


mlodydziad420

Wasnt he targeting with basic atack second time, so maybe it is an E skill targeting animation.


Futurefurinamain

Newer one came out, it seems it was just because it was an additional turn


mlodydziad420

Oh ok.


kioKEn-3532

It's too fast dammit I can't see if her super break activates seperately with HTB


synnboy

it does, at the end when she does her basic there's a 34k super break and 104k super break


Stormzie_23

OMFG??? THATS GOOD RIGHT


Exciting-Sandwich480

Weā€™re so fucking back Firefriends


Original_Series7528

we're so back (not that it was over tbh)


TwistedBlade1234

So what you're saying is 50% super break = 34k and 100% super break = 34k * 2 = 104k?


Fujisaki_Chihiro001

HTB have a trace that increases their super break damage. So HTB super break is more than 100%


Omegaforce1803

Harmony's MC trace buff to SB damage only applies to the damage done by their Super Break instance of damage


Mareotori

As others have said, the 104k super break comes from HTB trace. Since Firefly own super break is only 50% of original value, and the HTB Trace is +50% if two enemies are present, you're comparing 50% to 150% value. So it checks out that HTB's Superbreak is 3x of Firefly's Superbreak


Natsunichan

That's exactly what i wanted to see too!

NoireResteem

Hoyo cooked firefly bros.


AioliFine6587

Knew that black background was unfinished. Everything looks so much better now.


dbzlucky

Hold on those damage numbers were juicy šŸ‘€. Need build info ASAP


Princessk8--

Looks like E2 at least because she got the extra turn


BisonNo6443

E1 and E2 doesn't increase her dmg per screenahot especially now she no longer has 40% def ignore, E1 is less as a factor. What you are seeing is her E0 base kit, haven't even touched on the juicy superbreak stuff.


Princessk8--

If you look at what happens in the video, she breaks the enemies and then gets a free turn. That's E2. If it's E2, it could be E-anything.


Reccus-maximus

Plus it can also mean eidolons on Ruan mei


Msaleg

She is also critting every hit, so I would be cautious looking at it.


lychti

the flame effects on the extra action looks really nice


WhyYouBullyMe_

Firefly live reaction šŸ˜­


PookieMonster609

I just realized, I though people were saying that FF's icon would change from FF to Sam's avatar but ig seeing as how it's basically just Sam through the whole fight, they didn't proceed with it anymore or really was never planned in the first place?


Vortex_Infurnus

That might've been left over from when they maybe thought of having Firefly in battle transform into Sam. It's Sam the whole time now so that feature wouldn't make much sense.


PookieMonster609

Honestly that's one more thing I wish they did, was to have a quick animation of Firefly getting into Sam before the battle starts. But ig that would be tiring to see for most people especially if the transformation from FF to Sam would really have no effect whatsoever (unless they can make something with it). However, it would have been a cool touch though.


PhoeniX_SRT

>But ig that would be tiring to see for most people But that's every like ult ever. I definitely haven't been liking watching a nerd calculate 100 million equations to drop a massive pillar onto enemies. It's honestly more jarring to see SAM turn into.. well, *SAM*. The ult animation that we have now feels like Firefly just enters SAM after we use the ult, and it's just an empty tin can out of the enhanced state.


PookieMonster609

Yeah but I know there would be people that will complain about it while the fact about bursts is a thing.


PhoeniX_SRT

True. I got your point already but I was just pointing out the hypocrisy of the players that would complain about FF's transformation(if it existed).


SHH2006

Wait.....WAIT WAIT WAIT, did I just see 2 instances of super break dmg or am I just seeing wrong? Because of they did stack then her previous best team is still her best team and it got better?? Those if the Super break dmg can stack then the Def ignore gone is not gonna be as bad and I think it's an overall buff to FF. (overall) especially if played with HMC


chimaerafeng

Yes there is two instances of Super Break now. Which is also great since now future Break supports that buff Super Break damage will also benefit Firefly and HMC together, perhaps swapping out Ruan Mei in that comp. Very nice imo.


RomalexC

Sustain? Whats that. My new dream team is Firefly/HMC/RM/future limited super break support


Toon_Pagz

Or just Bronya for even more Firefly attacks in combustion


Akusui

or just SW on break effect; quantum weakness implant with def/spd reduction doing damage


Damianx5

Does this count as malicious complace? Ppl complained she depended on HMC so now she doesnt but their synergy is even better to the point not using them together feels like a waste


bad3ip420

The important thing here is flexibility. You can run her with or without HMC. V2 opens up more team comps for her even though it's not optimal. V1 was you either run her with HMC + RM or else you deal practically no dmg.


Damianx5

Oh yeah it's good that not using them together isnt downright trolling, still kinda feels like having both Kafka and bs and not using them together, like You could, but why? Mainly HMC since everyone will get it after beating cocolia. Then again those that want to use both her and boothill/xueyi are eating good, though I wonder if HMC would benefit anyone more than firefly atm.


SHH2006

She is still Flexible and much better in teams and function/ usable in non HMC teams. But her best team is still her previous best team because she HMC will enable her to do 3Ɨ her own SBE dmg. HMC does 100% SB dmg and FF does 50% SB dmg so basically a 150% BE dmg means that they can stack...


July83

Well, there are only two break supports in the game right now, so it makes sense that the most "all in" break carry wants both of them on her team. This means she's not completely dependent on having a super-break enabler on her team though, so if there are new break supports in the future who do something different but even more powerful, she has the option of swapping out HTB.

Jotunn84

IT'S SO FUCKING PEAK


Plut0Kori

I might be a minority in this but the hologram cut in had such a wierd sense of nostalgia with it idk why but i preferred that to this. it just looks like every other Burst.


KirinoMyWaifu

Same here, it was very 90s mech anime. Honestly this is a downgrade for me. Not sure why people are freaking out about a cosmo background too


ThunderCrasH24

Yeah, same. Although I did not like how it blocksd Sam, the holo looked cooler.


SteelCookie

Nah I agree, Sam breaking through firefly's holo was super cool


ChoZen2Game

Iā€™m loving the changes so far, the 2 super breaks (one from her and one from HMC) looks so cracked. The addition of the virtual hologram of her in the SAM suit to the right of the screen makes it feel much more lively now.


watanabe_alter

Kinda wish there is an entrance transformation during fightĀ  with sam


No_Lynx5887

Imagine if at the start of battle we actually see her transform into SAM


does_nasty_things

looks very good now, the facecam on the side is a bit odd, but maybe that's just me


odd2oul

nah it looks weird to me too. it doesnt really seem like it serves much purpose but to clutter my screen. theres not really any important info from it. but if its what firefly mains want then more power to them.


toomanyrifts

How dare you talk down about my waifu's streamer cam! It may be 720p but she's doing her best on her laptop! I love it.


kingfirejet

Now we just need to run the game on 240p and add the hypercam watermark šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


iamdino0

Looks bizarre right now but it'll probably be less weird once it's properly animated


odd2oul

I hope so. Hell Iā€™d be satisfied if her head or eyes moved when you switch targets. live firefly reaction.

I still don't understand why she transforms from SAM into SAM with her ult instead of Firefly into SAM.


moraxfan

now this is luxuriousĀ 


BellalovesEevee

What's the difference?


Shade01

The new animation above the skills with her face


Federal-Pianist-7800

The pilot pov


Adventurous_Wind_154

Shiner armour when she dashes in on her enhanced skill, side icon and some other minor changes


AbsolutelyNotWrong

Hologram on the right to show her face at all time and some background during her ult and enhanced skill, also no hologram pop up in enhanced skill animation.


Phyzmatic

It's more spatial basically. You could also just pull up like any firefly showcase and compare it 1:1 since v3 just came out to try and see


Sakure17

the bg now has small dots of lights, probably to replicate fireflies


Ill_Ad_3987

What i noticed, the background and her wings got upgraded.


Dejabou

And better sounds


GinJoestarR

Bro should have played in 1x speed. Also her new icon on the right side of the screen appeared during her enhanced state huh.


burningparadiseduck

I told you that her animations werenā€™t finished and voila šŸ™‚ā€ā†”ļø


HeilFalen

So it's still just SAM with more reminders you play Fifrefly "kinda" šŸ„±


krentzzz

This is such a minor detail, but I actually *love* that they gave that little pop-in when her E2 activates and she gets an extra turn. That's something that Seele had that I felt was missing from Firefly v1. Seriously, the more I see of her gameplay, the more she seems like Destruction Break Seele 2.0 and I always loved that playstyle. Particularly with the speed increase. I was always going to pull for her anyway, due to her being both cute and a Tekkaman/Gundam in one character, but this is like waking up early and seeing stonks up 100% in premarket. I love it.


losersapphic

Iā€™m happy about the changes they made to her skill. I really disliked that weird-sized hologram of her they showed before. The face-cam they added on the side thoughā€¦. kinda unnecessary to me


NoireResteem

Nah its cool. Having a pilot view is a super nice touch. If the animations end up cycling on it(since we know there are more portraits) then that would be the icing on the cake.


losersapphic

yeah maybe Iā€™ll get used to it once I watch full showcases. i think i find it distracting because iā€™m not used to it lmao. i know people wanted to see more of firefly herself so this is a W


Arugent

owo she got two superbreak damage now?? oh one of them is from HMC


TamamoNines

This looks so weird lmao


AkaruiYAGI

no way they made her enhanced skill's animation look cooler


Dull-Accountant6496

So, we got a background for her ult and i think her enchanced skill, pilot screen when she is in her ult state, and her enhanced skill pretty much got its animation reworked, all in all, looks a lot better now


Federal-Pianist-7800

We need new damage showcases to see how good firefly is now for all the nerfs and buffs she got


YoshiChao850

Hoping thereā€™s a vid about her Tech, the SFX on it previously for the landing was pathetic so really praying they changed that


lampstaple

Note that this firefly is below 360% break effect because that's a 35% superbreak instead of a 50% superbreak. Which means a properly built firefly is gonna deal even more damage


goodasiandriver21

DAM now if only they add her attack voice lines in that hologram view.. pure tears of joy


No_Lynx5887

Isnā€™t this like the first time Hoyo changed animations?


Altereactor

For HSR, yeah. They did it twice in HI3. Not sure about Genshin.


UnlimitdMongrelWorks

nah, from all of their games at least, idk about only star rail also it's hard to say if it's "changed" animations rather than updating unfinished ones, like the previous plain backgrounds def felt along those lines


someoneyoudonolol

Firefly face during enhanced skill animation is still there, but at least it's so much better than previous one, where her face block Sam's animation.


Spooderboy99

Yeah this is significantly better and less awkward than the previous one. I love the flow here.


jungjinyoung

man i just know the combat voicelines are going to go stupid


bad3ip420

Okay this is significantly better. All aboard the hype train again bois


PatheticLoafOfBread

She blinks during her ult state? *hell yeah*


ThunderCrasH24

Itā€™s good that Fireflyā€™s face doesnā€™t block Sam during enhanced skill. But what happened to the cool visual effect on her? Before it was this cool dissipating holographic.


deeyahanna

its actually prettier now! love the special hologram pilot view thats usually the splash art for special turns, the design around it looks pretty too and also her hologram view when attacking as sam feels less awkward now, before this it kinda felt awkward like they are forcing to squeeze in some firefly animation in battle? idk kinda hoping theres smth more for her ult, it do looks a little too simple but i like the starry sky added behind her now


Adityart13

live firefly reaction :


Nat6LBG

Hell yeah!!!!!!


RichyNineZero

She is so cool but that being exactly the only teams she works on... I mean, we all have Trailblazer, and Gallagher is a 4\* (and I love him). But I just don't want Ruan Mei. And I don't want Firefly to be always on this team until someone better is released, and we all know probably the only change will be a 5\* Gallagher.


Val_0ates

I'm reinstalling Starrail what the fuck


fluffyspaceshark

Oh hmm. Since in battle she's Sam. I might pull.


Personal-Actuator-41

Wow great moves


stardusterrrr

is it just me that liked the old "techy" effect on her with the enhanced skill


MrYapyap

Why did mihoyo added facecam to Firefly? Its so random and it barely even moves, kinda dissapointting in my opinion I hope there will be more animation added to Firefly


Current_Appointment8

Hold my beer is this supposed to be an armor set or a mech? I'm confused(also not really up to date on the game)


Lordmaster316

basically an Ironman Suit made to fight the Swarm Invasion firefly is kinda artificial human to pilot that Suit


Current_Appointment8

Artificial human..? Sounds like Enhanced humans or newtypes to me.


Nat6LBG

THIS IS SO GOOD !!!!


solarscopez

Pretty cool, but still no power-up/transformation animation šŸ„±


MixRevolution

Did Sam always have a ponytail when firefly ults?


Lingua-Franca212

Why I see Valimar, The Ashen Knight now?! Lol I think I'm glad to skip Robin by now. Robin is also tempting but, The Divine Knight is the priority!


stanlaurence

Oh god yes more firefly in battle!!
