>Kafka was shilled heavily and was the face of the game
>Didn't beat Seele and the rerun flopped hard
>BS, Sparkle, and FF were all shilled but all failed against Acheron
>Generals, Emanators, and every other Star Rail original character lost to Phainon
>Not even Aven and the other shilled males were close to Phainon
When a Star rail original character beats the HI3 expies then you can talk about HI3 killing the game. Without Honkai in Star Rail this game would be considered a flop. Imagine having no Honkai and bragging about high sales when Kafka and FF are the best the game could do.

Don't forget to thank HI3 for saving HSR.

Kneel to your HI3 saviors.
