Himeko is excellent as a secondary DPS, and her Talent is fantastic since it can be triggered as an off-turn attack, further increasing her presence and assistance against opponents. While she is simple to master and lacks a bit more depth in gameplay mechanics, she is easily one of the best 5-star characters to pull in Honkai: Star Rail , especially as a player’s first 5-star h

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

As the newest RPG from HoYoverse, Honkai: Star Rail _ has a few terms and systems that might not be clear to players who haven't been following the game's pre-release advertising. Much like the terminology of the developer's previous games, such as _Genshin Impact or Honkai Impact 3rd , terms that get thrown around in the game's story might not be explained all too well in the game itself, either, an issue that can be made worse when the terms have actual gameplay implicati

Stellaron, also described (somewhat dramatically) as the Cancer of All Worlds, are a major driving force behind the story of Honkai: Star Rail , being the basis for the game's plot. Created by a character known as Nanook, Stellaron are mysterious objects that tether themselves to certain worlds, seemingly granting the desires of the planets and civilizations that they tether to. However, Stellaron are also responsible for bringing great catastrophes to the worlds that they associate with - as such, the crux of Star Rail 's plot has the protagonist faction, the Astral Express, both dealing with the harm caused by the Stellaron and researching them furt

Jing Yuan is a 5-Star Lightning character of the Erudition path in **Honkai: Star Rail ** and using the best builds for him can give players a massive advantage. He is the general of the Cloud Knights, the military of the Xianzhou Alliance. He is a careful strategist who keeps peace aboard the Xianzhou Luofu. When Jing Yuan enters combat, he summons Lightning-Lord, which deals extra damage in follow-up attacks. A good Jing Yuan build takes advantage of Lightning-Lord to overwhelm the fi

However, with the current seven Paths available at the game's launch already covering most of the functions that could be expected in a turn-based RPG (attacking, buffing, debuffing, tanking, and healing) it's currently unknown what further additional Paths could entail in terms of gameplay - especially with eighteen total Paths corresponding to the eighteen Aeons. If future updates introduce more Paths to the game, they will likely need to bring more unorthodox gameplay additions. In terms of their effect on the game's story, however, it's likely the Aeons and world more closely associated with the current seven paths will be more prominent in the game's st

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

Out of all the available Relics in Honkai: Star Rail upon launch, Band of Sizzling Thunder is the best fit for Jing Yuan . The 2-piece set increases Lightning DMG by 10%, but the 4-piece set will also boost ATK by 25% for one turn after the wearer uses a Skill. Since Jing Yuan will use his Skill most often, the temporary boost can continuously support both his attacks and those of Lightning-L

In terms of stats, players will want to boost what makes Seele so special. If they are lucky enough to have In The Night , they should prioritize Speed until they get those 80 Speed points above 100. If they do not have that Light Cone, they can prioritize CRIT Rate and Crit Dmg Boost DMG distribution, ATK, Speed, and Quantum DMG when farming Relics – in that specific order. Speed does play an important role in Seele’s overall performance, but none of her abilities scale from it, so it shouldn’t be such a priority unless they have her signature Light Cone equip

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
