Using Hoyo Buddy in Discord Servers

What Can Get You Warned or Banned​

Some users have received warnings for discussing Hoyo Buddy or sharing its content in Official Discord servers.

At this time, only official servers are known to restrict Hoyo Buddy use. Other Discord servers may have different rules - check with server admins to be sure.

These actions will trigger warnings in Official Discord servers:

  • Talking about Hoyo Buddy
  • Sharing content made by Hoyo Buddy:
    • Definitely banned: Build cards and character summary cards
    • Possibly banned: End game cards and other content
  • Using Hoyo Buddy in a server where it's not allowed

Remember: Multiple warnings can lead to a ban.

Why Official Servers Ban Hoyo Buddy​

The official reason is that Hoyo Buddy is a third-party service that violates Hoyoverse's Terms of Service. Hoyoverse considers it a security risk.

Unofficially, Hoyoverse may see Hoyo Buddy as competition that makes HoYoLAB less relevant.

What About Unofficial Discord Servers?​

We haven't seen unofficial Discord servers ban Hoyo Buddy yet. If any do, it's likely because they're following Hoyoverse's Terms of Service rules.

Will This Affect My Game Account?​

Most likely not. Bans from official Discord servers should only affect your Discord access and shouldn't impact your game account in any way.
