HoYoverse's Senior Director of Global Business Development Fish Ling and Global Business Development team member Michael Lin sat down with Screen Rant to discuss the world of Honkai: Star Rail , its fantasy inspirations, and what players can expect from the g

As a 5-Star character in Honkai: Star Rail , it will be difficult for players to collect copies of Jing Yuan and trigger his Eidolon perks. However, Jing Yuan can truly shine if players unlock Eidolon level 2. The first level boosts the DMG done to other enemies outside the one Lightning-Lord targets by 25%, while the second level boosts Jing Yuan's Basic, Skill, and Ultimate by 20% for two tu

As players get later into the game, however, the Fire Preservation Trailblazer starts to become much more valuable to a party than their Physical counterpart, with constant party-wide shields, respectable damage output, and stellar weakness-breaking capabilities. Additionally, both versions of the Trailblazer are the only characters to be able to obtain Eidolon levels for free, making their strengths even more pronounced compared to the other free characters, and ensuring that either variant has a place on almost any party se

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

**Nowhere To Run is the best 4-star Light Cone for Honkai: Star Rail ’s Trailblazer (Destruction) build ** . It operates similarly to Something Irreplaceable in the sense that its boosts ATK significantly and even has HP-restoring properties. The second-best 4-star option for the protagonist is a tie between A Secret Vow and The Moles Welcome

Another pillar of Honkai: Star Rail ’s combat system is the Path given to each character. These are HoYoverse’s interpretation of traditional RPG roles and resemble jobs such as tanks and healers in Final Fantasy . While the Trailblazers Path can vary in a team, much like their Element, all other characters have a preset Path and, consequently, a role they play in a team comp. The popular March 7 hero follows The Preservation Path, which means she is a specialist in defensive abilities and provides protection to the team. The character Blade, on the other hand, follows The Destruction Path, meaning he is a classic striker

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

Should players have no good copies of Inert Salsotto, Jing Yuan can make do with Celestial Differentiator. This Planetary Ornament can boost Crit DMG by 16% but has a higher barrier to unlock its second perk. Here, Jing Yuan needs a Crit DMG of 120% to increase his Crit Rate by 60% for his first attack. Again, inert Salsotto is preferred, but Celestial Differentiator can work well if players focus on Jing Yuan himself rather than Lightning-L

Players that have played any traditional JRPGs, for instance, will understand the combat system in Honkai: Star Rail quite quickly. Games like the early Final Fantasy titles follow the same structure. However, it is important to point out that there are a few other mechanics that come into play that still need to be understood before tackling the game. Developer Hoyoverse’s Honkai: Star Rail has a weakness system and a role system that are intrinsic to every single character, with the exception of the main hero, Trailblazer. Because of this, players need to carefully plan the team members they are taking into each battle of this space advent

**Honkai: Star Rail ** ’s combat system can seem daunting to new players at first, but it is fairly easy to get used to once the main mechanics are understood. Developer HoYoverse’s new title is quite different from the popular Genshin Impact , so players accustomed to the open-world action RPG will have to adapt to the new game’s core gameplay. Honkai: Star Rail has a turn-based combat system, which means players must choose what each character is to do on the field, and they will execute each action in order, based on their individual speed st

Michael Lin: Yeah, the game will be available on multiple platforms and be cross-platform. It'll be on iOS, PC and other mobile devices at launch and be cross-platform compatible and cross save. So one highlight that I always like to share is, you know, we're living in a world where the day runs differently for each person, we're sometimes in house and sometimes out of the house. And for us, I am a particular player who plays on multiple devices. So the experience that we can bring with Star Rail is someone can play a Honkai Star Rail News: Star Rail on the go in the metro or on a bus and whenever he or she gets home, they'll be able to hop onto the computer and continue the journey on computer, and that's something very unique to the game. And the game is built with fantastic graphics and supports Metal, of course, Apple's powerful chip, and we can achieve that both on the go and on
