With four pieces, ATK is boosted by 7% after every attack you perform or receive, up to six times. With five pieces, Physical DMG is boosted by an additional 12%. Using all five pieces is a great cho

Similarly to past HoYoverse games, Honkai: Star Rail 's world has its own slang , much of which can be helpful to know for players wanting to dive deeper into the game's story and lore. This can especially be the case for Star Rail , given its somewhat confusing status as a sort of semi-sequel to Honkai Impact 3rd , taking place in an alternate universe and serving as something of an offshoot to the previous game. Moreover, given the game's status as a turn-based RPG, ditching the more action-focused combat of HoYoverse games, the story could very well be taking a more prominent role - especially with Star Rail taking a more structured approach than the open-world Genshin Impa

The game is expected to run on most devices due to the fact that Honkai Star Rail Characters: Star Rail ’s system requirements are not too demanding. Android users will need a device with Android 7.0 OS, at least a Snapdragon 835, Dimensity 720, or Kirin 980 CPU, and 3 GB of memory to be able to run the game. The game uses 8 GB of storage on Android. When it comes to iOS users, players should check the list of supported devices, but it is worth mentioning that the game runs on iPhone 8 Plus, so any model that is better than that should be compati

Similar to how each of Genshin 's Archons associates with a single element, the Aeons of Star Rail each follow a singular path - although unlike elements (which do still exist in Star Rail ), Paths are much more similar to character classes. Like the Aeons, each of Honkai: Star Rail 's playable characters follows a certain Path, which has important implications for what role they play in battle. Characters following The Hunt path, for example, focuses primarily on single target damage, while The Erudition focuses on multi-target damage. At launch, there are seven Paths implemented in the game's combat, each serving a different gameplay funct

Because she already has a high base Speed stat, this is the perfect match for her. With more attention given to Speed in Seele’s build, she can easily become the team's strongest member. However, obtaining both her and her Light Cone in the same event duration can be difficult due to Honkai: Star Rail 's Warp rates . There are, however, solid substitutes for her, even if they are not as good as In The Night. The best 5-star Light Cone substitute for Seele is Cruising in the Stellar

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

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

Another option is Return to Darkness , which has a better base ATK (529 at level 80) and boosts the CRIT Rate by 12% . Whenever the user lands a CRIT Hit, there is a 12% chance of dispelling one of the target’s buffs – the effect can only be triggered once per attack. Though it is not a fantastic weapon, it is still very good for Seele’s build in Honkai: Star Rail , as it boosts her CRIT Rate, one of her most important st

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

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
