A Fire Harmony character, Asta’s skills primarily center around buffing allies, granting a stacking attack boost whenever she hits an enemy, with extra stacks being granted against fire weaknesses. Although the stacks fall off quickly, the boost is still consistent and useful for increasing a team’s damage output, especially in combination with Asta’s speed-boosting ultimate. As a slight downside, however, Asta is one of the few free characters in the live service Honkai: Star Rail whose element overlaps with another, which has her competing somewhat for a team slot with Fire Trailblazer – although, on the other hand, one of her ascensions does increase the fire damage of other characters, further increasing her usefulness against fire-weak enem
Should players have no good copies of Inert Salsotto, Jing Yuan can make do with Celestial Differentiator. This Planetary Ornament can boost Crit DMG by 16% but has a higher barrier to unlock its second perk. Here, Jing Yuan needs a Crit DMG of 120% to increase his Crit Rate by 60% for his first attack. Again, inert Salsotto is preferred, but Celestial Differentiator can work well if players focus on Jing Yuan himself rather than Lightning-L
Building her can be a bit complicated regarding farming Relics with the ideal stats, mainly because it is difficult to get a proper CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG ratio. Nonetheless, Seele’s build in Honkai: Star Rail is very straightforward, and only a few details are changed depending on her equipped Light Cone. While the game is coming out for PlayStation later this year, **Honkai: Star Rail ** is already available for PC and mob
There’s also simply more to do at launch in Honkai: Star Rail than expected. Aside from main story progression, there are a multitude of side quests, dailies, and character-specific story quests. Daily text messages from characters serve to add a bit of the mundane to an otherwise grand scope, with discussions about coffee helping ground the budding relationships as the Astral Express seeks to unseat sinister powers. Options to gather experience & crafting materials opens up early, hsrcreators and there’s a familiar Trailblazer Level system that serves to gate content getting harder as players begin to complete more and more adventu
There are eight Light Cones in Honkai: Star Rail based on the Erudition path as of launch. The Light Cone system mirrors the weapon system of its sibling game Genshin Impact in that 5-Star characters typically have a Light Cone tailored to their character. Since LIght Cones represent memories, this tailored approach makes sense. The best Light Cone for any Jing Yuan build is Before Dawn , available in limited-time Wa
Serving as one of the game’s starting characters, Dan Heng is surprisingly capable when it comes to his role as a single-target damage dealer, with his Wind element and Hunt Path targeting a common early-game weakness and allowing him to easily break enemies. Complementing his damage dealing prowess, Dan Heng’s talent gives him a hefty Wind resistance penetration buff after he’s targeted by any ally’s ability, boosting his already-impressive damage even further and giving him an easily usable synergy with many Harmony and Preservation characters – including fellow starter character March
Joining Dan Heng as the other starting party member, March 7th is an Ice Preservation character with several valuable aspects to her skill set. Her skill provides a hefty shield to a single ally, synergizing extremely well with her Talent, which lets her make free attacks on enemies who hit a shielded character. Importantly, her Talent applies to any shield, not just her own, meaning she synergizes extremely well with other shield providers. Finally, her ultimate targets all enemies with a chance to Freeze – a valuable status that’s equivalent to a stun, and can usually only be inflicted by breaking Ice-weak enemies with Ice atta
As the final free Erudition character, Serval’s Lightning element and potent attacking skills manage to set her apart as a good general option – which is especially good because she can be claimed for free early in the game as part of Star Rail ‘s pre-registration campaign. Being the only Lightning attacker out of the free characters already gives Serval a solid niche, but her skills also leave potent lightning DoTs on enemies that are effective at racking up residual damage, further supported by her ultimate and basic attacks. As a slight downside, however, her skill can only target three enemies, meaning her damage can suffer in fights with larger gro
A lot of talents are beneficial for the whole party, but Gepard’s ability only does anything for himself. Once per battle, Gepard can revive himself. The Unyielding Will skill will trigger if he’s killed in combat, where he will instantly restore HP, getting himself back in the fight. This can be upgraded like other talents, letting him revive with more HP. As a tank, this ability is incredibly useful for a defensive charac
