With the Aeons numbering at eighteen members – more than doubling Genshin ‚s Archons – it’s currently unknown if all of them will make in-game appearances or have important roles to play – although, like the Archons, it’s distinctly possible that some Aeons may become playable in some form as Star Rail receives future updates and additional content. Moreover, the Aeons set up Honkai: Star Rail well to follow a similar story structure to Genshin ‚s, with updates centering around a single world, as well as that world’s associated Aeon. Importantly, however, as Aeons are introduced in the game’s story, another aspect of the game’s world must be considered – Pa
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, and there’s a familiar Trailblazer Level system that serves to gate content getting harder as players begin to complete more and more adventu
Much like Genshin Impact , the acquisition of new characters and weapons (Light Cones) in Honkai: Star Rail is through a gacha system, in which players pull for characters based on both their luck and their pity count. With Honkai: Star Rail ’s release date now broadly known, it will not be long until players can start effectively pulling for the characters that they want, in order to properly build them and set them into useful team comps. This will be used to face enemies among the many destinations they shall be visiting, looking to help the local populations from each pla
When it comes to Paths, players should look for balanced teams to cover broader encounters. Having a team full of The Destruction characters may not be advantageous when facing large groups of heavy-hitting opponents, for example. Similarly, only having The Abundance characters will see a prejudicial lack of damage output that will likely make players’ progressions slow down significantly. Having a striker (The Destruction), a buffer (The Harmony), Hsrcreators a shielder (The Preservation), and a healer (The Abundance), for example, is a better spread team for Honkai: Star Rail ’s gameplay. Nonetheless, team comps will ultimately come down to character availability, their respective skills, and player prefere
As announced by HoYoverse, Honkai: Star Rail ’s release date for PC, Epic Games Store, iOS, and Android is on April 26. Pre-installation starts on April 23. With the end of the final closed beta on March 24, the game arrives nearly a month after its last testing period. The developer also revealed that the PlayStation version of the game is still in development, but that it does not have a fixed release date – or even a release window for that matter. Much like Genshin Impact , Honkai: Star Rail will be a free-to-play title, which has in-game microtransactions. It is expected to be frequently updated as a live service g
Unlike in Genshin Impact , where the Elements are combined to provoke strong Elemental Reactions, Honkai: Star Rail ’s combat system is centered around using the correct Element against a foe’s pre-established weaknesses. Hitting an enemy that is weak to Ice Damage with Ice Damage will contribute more to inflicting the Weakness Break status, for example. Additionally, Elements have different effects, such as DoTs (damage-over-time) and debuffs, when they inflict Weakness Br
Even if 5-star Light Cones are the best for pairing up with Seele’s attributes, there are still a few good 4-star choices for players to pick from. The best 4-star option for her build is Only Silence Remains. Dan Heng’s signature Light Cone has a forgettable base ATK stat (476 at level 80) but increases the user’s ATK by 16% . In addition, it increases their CRIT Rat by 12% if there are two or fewer enemies on the fi
While Cruising in the Stellar Sea does not take advantage of Seele’s high-Speed stat, it does sync with one of her Traces. In addition, her ability to strike again after defeating an enemy can result in a good strategy for groups, which sees her kill off weaker opponents, activate the Light Cone’s ATK boost, and then strike a stronger foe. If they are defeated, this can become a continuous cycle, which ends up protecting the team, since the opponents do not even get the opportunity of striking. All the details about Seele’s best build in Honkai: Star Rail is detailed in the table be
Honkai: Star Rail follows the Trailblazer, a player-controlled character who awakes under mysterious circumstances. They’re quickly burdened with a power that is either highly sought-after or vilified by denizens of the game’s universe, and rescued by the Astral Express – a group of world-jumping heroes who chase after Stellarons, the protagonist’s power that also functions as a cancerous presence on any planet it’s fo
