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

The playable characters in Honkai: Star Rail are divided into two distinct tiers: 4-star and 5-star. 4-stars are the most common type of hero and are easier to obtain in the gacha system. In fact, some of them are even given out for free, as was the case Serval, handed out after the final beta subscriptions surpassed a certain goal. 5-star characters, on the other hand, tend to have better stats and skills than most 4-stars but they are much harder to obtain. Below is a list of all 27 confirmed Honkai: Star Rail characters and their respective ti

Honkai: Star Rail ’s gameplay is divided into two main instances: exploration and combat. Players will be able to walk around different maps and areas while interacting with NPCs and finding treasures. Additionally, they will also be able to engage in battles against enemies. Turn-based combat is the core of the title’s gameplay. Players will need to build a team of up to four characters and use them to inflict Weakness Break on opponents. This is a status that makes them vulnerable to more damage and unable to act. This is how the previously mentioned Elements come into p

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

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), 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

The four-piece buff also grants a 20% ATK and 10% Speed bonus for one turn after using a basic attack . The Musketeer Of Wild Wheat set is nearly as good as Champion Of Streetwise Boxing, and it is much easier to f

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

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, E0 phainon 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
