Players are initially introduced to Trailblazer’s Destruction form (later, they unlock The Preservation Path for them and will likely unlock other Paths as the game progresses). This means the Remembrance character build excels at being an attacker. The Destruction characters are not specialized in facing larger crowds or dealing CRIT DMG against one specific target, but are a balanced mix that makes a striker. With a good build for Honkai: Star Rail ’s Trailblazer (Destruction), players can optimize their damage output and survivability on the field, making them a reliable asset to keep in the team, perhaps even after getting another 5-star
March 7th’s Shield build plays on her Skill and Talent. She can apply a sturdy shield to allies, drawing the attention of enemies to them. When an enemy attacks a shielded ally, March 7th can Counter twice per turn. Her Frozen build, meanwhile, focuses on Freezing enemies in her Ultimate to deal extra damage. For March 7th to be effective, players should prioritize one build over anot
Bailu, easily one of the best 5-star characters in Honkai: Star Rail , follows The Abundance Path and is one out of three heroes that follow this Path. Although there is an abundance of Lightning characters in the game, she might as well be the best. Most of her abilities focus on restoration techniques, so she is a viable substitute for a Preservation charac
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
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
As with other HoYoverse games, Honkai: Star Rail ‘s story and world are likely to evolve further as the game continues to receive support, with new worlds, Stellaron, Aeons, and potentially even new Paths for characters to follow. As a major departure from the developer’s past works, both in gameplay and setting, Honkai: Star Rail _ offers a distinctly different experience for fans of games like _Genshin Impact , and is currently available on PC and mobile platforms, with a PlayStation release planned for a later date in 2
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
Although players may find this character versatile and useful in the beginning, as they collect more characters of both 4-star and 5-star rarities, they will realize that there are better options available than Physical Trailblazer. This is because their damage output will not be as impressive compared to other 5-star options for both single target and AoE attacks, and they have limited support abilit
The former is good for facing tough individual enemies, while the latter is better for longer fights, be them against one strong foe or a group. Players have the option of using other 4-star Destruction Light Cones, but their effects are not as good as the mentioned o
The entire concept of the game, from the way it tackles content variety to its battle system, also feels significantly more mobile-friendly. Whereas Genshin Impact can sometimes feel difficult to navigate during time-intensive ability swapping and movement-based boss fights, Honkai: Star Rail doesn’t run into this issue. It’s a bit of a battery drainer to be sure, but it’s well-suited to mobile in a way that makes it feel significantly better to play on the
The other 5-star Destruction Light Cone at launch, On The Fall Of An Aeon, is a viable substitute in case Something Irreplaceable is not available and needs replacing . The Light Cone offers a more modest base ATK stat (582 at level 80), and its skill sees it boost ATK by 8% whenever the user strikes, up to four ti
In relation to the story, lore, and gameplay systems of Honkai: Star Rail , three terms, in particular, are important for players to understand: Stellaron, Aeons, and Paths. Each term has a significant bearing on the world and the general plot of Star Rail , making them integral to the game’s story. Luckily, they also have easily understandable analogues, both in other HoYoverse games and in general fantasy media, making them not quite as high-concept as they might seem at first. Moreover, the three terms are also heavily associated, making each of them easier to understand in relation to the oth
