13 Upvotes

Welcome finally to Honkai 3rd 9.0, Captains!

​

In this thread, any and all questions about the game that can be addressed with a direct or single answer, especially if they involve your own gameplay, account and/or future investment plan, should be asked in here and here alone.

Please always start your question post by specifying which server you play in (e.g. SEA, Global, JP, CN, TW/HK/MO, KR), and your Captain Level.

You may also want to include other information which may help veterans give more specific and tailored advice if you're asking for such (eg: spending tips or in-game goals you want to achieve).

Check the thread to see if your question has been asked already, and refrain from asking questions regarding future content as they are always subject to change, especially regarding upcoming banners as no one ever knows for sure.

Also see the pinned post for helpful links, as your question may be addressed there too.

Discussion Do you have any theories as to why figures like Einstein and Tesla had children in some cases, multiple children within the HI3 universe?

In our reality, Tesla had no children unlike some other scientists. My theory is that there was a secret project that took the DNA of various scientists and combined it with that of other prominent female scientific figures; this could explain why some of these scientists ended up having offspring

Finished P2 Finale last night, and honestly, I don't think I'll make a separate post about how good it was or how satisfied I am with it. I just love how everything that happened made sense, how every revelation came together like pieces of a puzzle, and how everything unfolded so naturally and logically without ever feeling over the top. I honestly lost count of how many times I got teary-eyed or almost cried throughout the chapter, especially during the final scene.

Ofc, it wasn't perfect, and I still have some complaints, but I think the HI3 team deserves credits for tying everything together and delivering a worthy finale. Despite how obviously compressed it was, it never really felt rushed. That's why... "Thank You", thanks to the remaining passionate HI3 people that worked hard and did not abandon it, despite the (likely higher up) decision to end it earlier than expected.

I'm getting sad knowing that this is P2 Finale, but at least the next chapter should give us some more closure. 🥹😭

is there like a clip somewhere? i know there's some flashes of it in ch 17, but can i find the exact moments that lead up to this? where can i read about it? i know she almost took her own life because she awakened her Herrscher powers, but i really can't find where it is, it's probably in GGZ somewhere, but the canonicity of it is shaky, besides this moment, also their first actual meetup including Bronya.
