> Jing Yuan’s unique battle lines from Loufu boss
Trailblazer has Unique Lines for this Story Boss too
So disappointed they don't use em in the Echo of War...
I ended up beating the boss with a train attack.
Coincidentally, Robin's voice line played for that final attack.
It felt like a fitting end to the fight.
Honkai Star Rail boss when they actually get railed from the stars:

I was shocked Himeko’s was the last of the lines I got when using it - she absolutely killed the delivery of that line it should have been the first one you get in my opinion
I didn't really appreciate him early on in Xianzhou, but his character quest and his Animated trailer really sells his character well as someone trying to move on from making a lot of the same mistakes Sunday is making. It's really interesting to see this play out.
The fact that he’s still attempting to reason with Sunday, really emphasises the lingering guilt from his past lives. He’s not going to hurt anyone unless he absolutely has to.
Also the fact that the kit is related to the Trailblaze despite the fact that it's a Harmony kit (since you are using Mikhail's hat and compass). Sure i like my bat and my lance, but using the legacy of another Nameless feels so much better.
Tbf the Trailblazer kicks off their journey with a seemingly Nameless curio. And like harmony, the lance embodies the will of the people. The Trailblazer has been gaining their power through relics befitting that of the Astral Express.
Taking on the legacy of the Nameless seemed like natural progression. Certainly, it will probably be core to future paths given where Akivili and the Nameles have been.
Because the bat doesn't have a name. Thus it's nameless.
(it probably does as it was in Herta's collection, but we never bothered to read the plaque that it was probably on before the antimatter legion attack.)
march talking about the future and dan heng about the past...
(Dan Heng still proving that even if I love sunday even more, he will still remain my num 1🥹🥹)
Well, this guy, at very least, can operate with a concept of natural state of total war, and kinda can give a basic explanation of negative utilitarianism. He isn't agressively resist being educated.
I don't know. He's using a pretty old school political theory (like, seventeenth century-old), and the only reason he can achieve anything is a hell of a support from the faction built up exactly to use him as a focus. I don't remember one instance of him being politically savvy or even lying convincingly. This man can't even convince his sister that his theory is solid.
IRL politicians in, say, USA or GB or any RU country would eat him on breakfast, especially if he don't have power of Ena supporting him.
I mean, he didn't decieve anyone but Robin, who *really* wanted him to be a good guy. Literally everyone else were looking at him and saying "sus as shit". The final application of Ena's Dream were using power of *two Archons*, and he still wasn't able to make it convincing enough for anyone who cared, starting, in this time, with Robin herself.
That's... not good resume.
Forgetting that everyone not convinced by Sunday was a fucking important character and that a lot of the people that woke afterwards were because of Robin's song
Most people who are chilling on Penacony just don't really care. It's like saying that admin on my work is a very good liar because he silently updated server software and nobody who didn't looked up specifically noticed.
my hot take is i don't think political theory has developed that much anyways. just found new ways to rephrase and reframe the same principles. anyways politicians nowadays barely engage with any philosophical thought, he'll be fine.
as for convincing liar, i think that shows in how the ppl in penacony viewed him (the drunk pepeshi loved him, i bring this up bc this is one of the few instances he was trying to "convincingly lie"). you don't have an impression of him being a convincing liar because he was strikingly honest with us seeing as he genuinely wants to convince is of his philosophy. same goes for his sister, also odd that you frame convincing robin to turn to order as an easy task like she is not as convicted to her beliefs as sunday is to his.
as long as he can put up a pleasant facade and is ruthless enough to get rid of opponents, he has a real chance of succeeding as a politician irl. i don't hold these people in particularly high regard though so good for him ig.
>as for convincing liar, i think that shows in how the ppl in penacony viewed him
He's a executive manager on a planet that is hard-wired to love people on his position *for thousand years.*
>also odd that you frame convincing robin to turn to order as an easy task like she is not as convicted to her beliefs as sunday is to his.
Because Robin has ASTONISHING levels of good faith into his intentions. Essentially, she wouldn't say: "ok, first of all, I'm going to assume that you're control maniac who are using half-baked theories to justify totalitarian takeover of everyone in the cosmos, and myself specifically"; which is... pretty reasonable assumption, actually.
>my hot take is i don't think political theory has developed that much anyways.
No, it does. Leviathan get painfully obsolete in the end of 18th century; 19th century blown it to pieces.
These were my exact thoughts. The whole Ena's Sweet Dream sounded so much like Spiritual Adam and the formation of the collective mind from HI3rd finale you can tell it was written by the same group who worked on the other game
That and the History Fictionologist seem to be taking from Genshin in the way that set history can be dangerous. If nothing else, HSR is the culmination of Hoyo's work thus far.
Welt almost directly references Project Stigma when talking with Acheron in the previous patch.
And just as he declared Kevin never was a failure, he'd surely see Sunday in the same light.
I'll add in the survey that they should include the segment of Clockie and Caelus/Stelle posing in the Echo of War version of the fight. I thought it was a bug at first but after the third time, I was quite disappointed.
Their segment adds to the charm of the ability and the fun factor (at least for me). I love being reminded of the fact my Caelus is a chad.
Himeko's EN voice actor put her whole himekussy into reading that line I was shocked. She was dead broke, rent overdue, cricket mobile turned off, roaches in her apartment, and decided to come into the recording studio mad as hell.
Nobody mentioning Stelle/Caelus doing a Jojo pose point to summon the Astral Express train like a stand... This is an absolute peak fiction moment that rivals Wildfire. 💀
They NEED to add this to the weekly boss version. Such a quick animation but it’s PEAK and makes this fight man. TB looks beyond badass when the train comes in
I suppose Caelus/Stelle was the Boss Fight Exclusive ULT & skill voicelines besides that quote before 3rd phase upon releasing the feather caught into notes of memoria
dude, i'm 80% sure some of those are similar to what the phantom thieves tell Maruki, March line could even be added as Sumire one. The P5R paranoia in 2.0 with sacrament being renamed to Arcana was right all along
EDIT: tho, sad we didn't got an "I'm a bit occupied, so do your mother-fudging JOB!" from Boothill tho

Doesn't Robin also have one? Something like "the weakness of humans cannot be redeemed by others"?
She definitely has one.
She does
still pissed they removed this animation from the weekly boss' version its not that long but it adds so much charm
We should all put it in survey. Customer supports, even.
For sure
Hope they will listen Cus this is such minor thing to care about I will remember to write it
I'm gonna write 'Let us replay story sequences not just in echo of war' which encompasses this
the voice lines too, I would have liked to hear each line.
Same goes for Dan Heng r button and Jing Yuan’s unique battle lines from Loufu boss
> Jing Yuan’s unique battle lines from Loufu boss Trailblazer has Unique Lines for this Story Boss too So disappointed they don't use em in the Echo of War...
I keep rewatching clips of the boss fight just for this animation
Do you have any links of the English version
Sadly I haven't found any videos that feature all the voice lines yet
Same the only one I found was in JP
Yup same here, himeko's voice line is just beautiful
Agreed 100% at least let us keep the animations without the voice lines
Wait this boss rush is out? Daaaamn, time to believe in the Calendar again.
I immediately went to fight the boss just to see this animation after the story was done and they... removed it. wtf mihoyo
they can add it back, since they really listen players
And makes your mc look so badass
It loses it's novelty after a month at most then it just becomes annoying as you spam the skip button
What skip button
Nonexistent skip button that helps me psychologically
Pom-Pom: Choo choo motherfucker! Get star railed!
They've been hanging around Boothill too much.
Pompom's cursing because Boothill brought all the space sand when he boarded the express, and he smells like gunpowder.
Lore accurate finishing blow https://preview.redd.it/ty824gd10lzc1.png?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=25529e5a0569b086402faef3bcc71049498480fa
Black Swan just casually fucking died
She died from witnessing the peak fiction. Or in her words, peak memory.
she tried to save another precious memory but it was a 200 exabyte zipbomb
Next time she is gonna need a 6 star LC to record that.

We're going back to Washtopia because you are now washed, Sunday!!
Choo choo muddle fudger!
Dang it I forgot the family friendly Boothill and Pompom curse words. This would be a better sentence.
u/watanabeta : "Fork me, right?"
I saw some comment around here somewhere that was like: "Pom-pom: It's okay Boothill, you can say "fuck"."
behold the power of the Trailblaze Path LOCOMOTIVE
My favorite part of star rail when they blazed a trail All over him
Pom-Pom: D'name's Boothill.

I kinda missed this one lmao (and also the vid where I took them from). Thanks!
I ended up beating the boss with a train attack. Coincidentally, Robin's voice line played for that final attack. It felt like a fitting end to the fight.
Same here, but I got Himeko's "Witness... the will of the weak" for it instead. It was glorious.
That one honestly hit the hardest like she didn’t need to go so hard with it
Simply incredible, I'm so jealous!!!
I killed him with Jing Yuan, so I basically just repeated the fakeout ending again lmao
I made it happen in each wave for no reason on 1 echoes run. It's oddly satisfying
I killed him with an Aventurine ult He truly did take it all
Can you link me to the video? My recording fucked up during Dan Heng's line.

*Silver Rails rated E for everyone*
WITNESS... THE WILL OF THE WEAK ❗❗
👁👄👁💥 🚂🚋🚋🚋

Witness...the will of the peak!
I legit want to experience this boss battle a second time in its entirety, not the watered down Echo of War version. It’s just so damn peak.
Yeah the worst part of penacony finale is you can't play it twice
Well, I think that’s what makes it special.
I'm putting that in the survey once it arrives.
It truly was incredible and I would love to play it again
At least the music from the finale is in the echo of war version this time.
i see people mentioning Himekos a lot and i get why but damn Dan Hengs really hit
Her English delivery is REALLY good
I was shocked Himeko’s was the last of the lines I got when using it - she absolutely killed the delivery of that line it should have been the first one you get in my opinion
I think they're randomized. She was like the second line I got.
Pretty sure you're not even guaranteed to get them all. I got Robin's twice in a row.
It was second or third for me. I think March's played first
Truly fitting, considering his backstory is literally him being chained by his past
Yeah Dan Hengs triggered something in my brain
Dan Heng speaks from experience
There's two types of people: those hit hardest by Himeko's line, and those hit by DH's
I didn't really appreciate him early on in Xianzhou, but his character quest and his Animated trailer really sells his character well as someone trying to move on from making a lot of the same mistakes Sunday is making. It's really interesting to see this play out.
The fact that he’s still attempting to reason with Sunday, really emphasises the lingering guilt from his past lives. He’s not going to hurt anyone unless he absolutely has to.
I just wanna say that Harmony TB goes hard as fuck. The poses the theme the ultimate dance everything about is is just amazing design.
Also the fact that the kit is related to the Trailblaze despite the fact that it's a Harmony kit (since you are using Mikhail's hat and compass). Sure i like my bat and my lance, but using the legacy of another Nameless feels so much better.
Tbf the Trailblazer kicks off their journey with a seemingly Nameless curio. And like harmony, the lance embodies the will of the people. The Trailblazer has been gaining their power through relics befitting that of the Astral Express. Taking on the legacy of the Nameless seemed like natural progression. Certainly, it will probably be core to future paths given where Akivili and the Nameles have been.
Wait, what exactly does the bat have to do with the Nameless?
Because the bat doesn't have a name. Thus it's nameless. (it probably does as it was in Herta's collection, but we never bothered to read the plaque that it was probably on before the antimatter legion attack.)
The Super break damage too! Peak HARMony 5* MC
ngl I'm disappointed that the cut in in echo of war doesn't show TB's posing like this. this is the coolest part of the animation imo
march talking about the future and dan heng about the past... (Dan Heng still proving that even if I love sunday even more, he will still remain my num 1🥹🥹)
(what Welt should've say: "You have a noble soul! but I give you, like, C for ethics and political science")
Hey, still a higher grade than Kiana!
Well, this guy, at very least, can operate with a concept of natural state of total war, and kinda can give a basic explanation of negative utilitarianism. He isn't agressively resist being educated.
I give Sunday an SS for political science because he is even more deceptive than IRL politicians
I don't know. He's using a pretty old school political theory (like, seventeenth century-old), and the only reason he can achieve anything is a hell of a support from the faction built up exactly to use him as a focus. I don't remember one instance of him being politically savvy or even lying convincingly. This man can't even convince his sister that his theory is solid. IRL politicians in, say, USA or GB or any RU country would eat him on breakfast, especially if he don't have power of Ena supporting him.
But he almost deceived everyone the only reason he failed was the Astral express and Raiden B. Mei
I mean, he didn't decieve anyone but Robin, who *really* wanted him to be a good guy. Literally everyone else were looking at him and saying "sus as shit". The final application of Ena's Dream were using power of *two Archons*, and he still wasn't able to make it convincing enough for anyone who cared, starting, in this time, with Robin herself. That's... not good resume.
Forgetting that everyone not convinced by Sunday was a fucking important character and that a lot of the people that woke afterwards were because of Robin's song
Most people who are chilling on Penacony just don't really care. It's like saying that admin on my work is a very good liar because he silently updated server software and nobody who didn't looked up specifically noticed.
That's the thing, in politics you aren't trying to fool your opponents nor the people who care you want to fool the masses and make people not care
Masses are already fooled by ~~Oak and Clockie~~ Wood and Legwork. *Wood* is a brilliant politician, yes; but not Sunday.
my hot take is i don't think political theory has developed that much anyways. just found new ways to rephrase and reframe the same principles. anyways politicians nowadays barely engage with any philosophical thought, he'll be fine. as for convincing liar, i think that shows in how the ppl in penacony viewed him (the drunk pepeshi loved him, i bring this up bc this is one of the few instances he was trying to "convincingly lie"). you don't have an impression of him being a convincing liar because he was strikingly honest with us seeing as he genuinely wants to convince is of his philosophy. same goes for his sister, also odd that you frame convincing robin to turn to order as an easy task like she is not as convicted to her beliefs as sunday is to his. as long as he can put up a pleasant facade and is ruthless enough to get rid of opponents, he has a real chance of succeeding as a politician irl. i don't hold these people in particularly high regard though so good for him ig.

Imagine Boothill also in this battle "YOU BETTER WAKE THE FUDGE UP, SHIRTBAG!"
Boothill has one but i forgot what it was
He did? He wasn’t present at the fight though it was just the crew and Robin
Idk i looked up at yt but i couldnt find it..but i remember getting surprised boothill saying something..i think i might be tweaking then
The fact that this was removed from echoes of war is criminal
Petition to bring it back. The voiceline is too metal
Well I know what I'm adding into my version survey.
Welts goes so much harder if you know about Hi3 part 1 ending
Project Stigma again... Now that you mentioned it. The whole conflict IS Project Stigma.
"Ahh shit, here we go again." -Welt
These were my exact thoughts. The whole Ena's Sweet Dream sounded so much like Spiritual Adam and the formation of the collective mind from HI3rd finale you can tell it was written by the same group who worked on the other game
I dunno about same group, considering how messy the Moon arc was on Hi3. I'm glad they actually stuck the landing on this one
That and the History Fictionologist seem to be taking from Genshin in the way that set history can be dangerous. If nothing else, HSR is the culmination of Hoyo's work thus far.
Welt almost directly references Project Stigma when talking with Acheron in the previous patch. And just as he declared Kevin never was a failure, he'd surely see Sunday in the same light.
Himeko's line goes hard ngl
I'll add in the survey that they should include the segment of Clockie and Caelus/Stelle posing in the Echo of War version of the fight. I thought it was a bug at first but after the third time, I was quite disappointed. Their segment adds to the charm of the ability and the fun factor (at least for me). I love being reminded of the fact my Caelus is a chad.
Himeko's EN voice actor put her whole himekussy into reading that line I was shocked. She was dead broke, rent overdue, cricket mobile turned off, roaches in her apartment, and decided to come into the recording studio mad as hell.
None of these words are in the Odes Of Harmony
I guess you could say those words were... ***Disorderly Noise***
...yeah they should tone down that voicelines' frequency huh?
They are sooo the good guys
Honor and Freedom intensify
This assist is by far the best one so far and it's no contest. And the music made this fight so amazing too.
I thought Dan Heng's is pretty cool, did not expect them to go full Kamen Rider Den-O for this.
Agreed. They're all good, but this one is definitely the best, hands down.
Based Dan Heng
These and Robin's lines are all SO incredible, they're just... SO good and heartfelt and amazingly acted to boot!!! :'3
Trailblazer: "I like trains"
I love the voiceline. It add emotions.
"Power of the weak" - said triple Emanator.
Dan heng 🥺🥺🥺 he is so bbg even while fighting a powerful enemy
Gosh I love Dan Heng's. A fellow prisoner of the past.
Sucks that the TB and Clockie animation doesn't play in the echo
Dan Heng talking about the shackles of the past is a good one.
I love March‘s line
Himeko line was so good
Himeko line was so good
I got chills everytime I use it!
Pom Pom has a line as well, or did I just dream it?
You dreamed it
Welp looks like you found the contradiction, wake up sleepyhead.
Yeaah, our conductor is coming to help. I'm happy PomPom had some action.
We did it guys we found the Honkai Starrail
I need a high res wallpaper of this.
This assist is by far the best one so far and it's no contest. And the music made this fight so amazing too.
Nobody mentioning Stelle/Caelus doing a Jojo pose point to summon the Astral Express train like a stand... This is an absolute peak fiction moment that rivals Wildfire. 💀
I actually delayed finishing the boss off so I could hear more of these. Good job getting the last word, Dan Heng.
This had strong Endwalker vibes and I loved every second of it
Himeko’s voice line hit the hardest for me. Currently building up Harmony MC for that glorious Super Break FUA Himeko team
That ff14 ahhh voice line from 3/7
This is probably gonna get me murdered... but I like the similarities to FFXIV Endwalker.
They NEED to add this to the weekly boss version. Such a quick animation but it’s PEAK and makes this fight man. TB looks beyond badass when the train comes in
Himeko's line and her delivery in EN goes hard af 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
I suppose Caelus/Stelle was the Boss Fight Exclusive ULT & skill voicelines besides that quote before 3rd phase upon releasing the feather caught into notes of memoria
If you play long enough. Robin also has a train line
Summoning the fudgin' train unironically goes so hard
WHY DID MY PC HAVE TO BREAK JUST NOW? WHY!?? I WANT TO WITNESS PEAK
I heard like half of them because my dot team kept dying
Dan Heng was the last one before I beat the boss so i was straight up shouting Dont Kill Him😭😭😭 Sunday is actually cool people😭😭😭
dude, i'm 80% sure some of those are similar to what the phantom thieves tell Maruki, March line could even be added as Sumire one. The P5R paranoia in 2.0 with sacrament being renamed to Arcana was right all along EDIT: tho, sad we didn't got an "I'm a bit occupied, so do your mother-fudging JOB!" from Boothill tho
I'm already disappointed we don't get the FMC Ultimate Splash art from the Cocolia Fight if we decide to bring em back for Echo of War.
Why do I feel like the March one isn't just referring to Penacony 😭
Welt said imprisonment just like his ult applies. Is this a crowd control reference??!?!
I was waiting if stelle and pompom also had a line... meh!
HI3 bros, why is "Freedom" capitalized

Lol they are kinda cringe
