Players that have played any traditional JRPGs, for instance, will understand the combat system in Honkai Star Rail Banners: 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

Obviously it's far too early to pass judgment on the title, which doesn't even have a release date yet - but there's still plenty to be gleaned from its current systems. What's present during the test is a game that very much sticks to the designs that have made other HoYoverse projects popular, whether that be exploring well-designed maps or craving a new, powerful 5-Star character to add to an ever-growing roster of heroes. That's not a bad thing, though, and Honkai Star Rail seems like it's the most refined HoYoverse-style experience

A Fire Harmony character, Asta's skills primarily center around buffing allies, granting a stacking attack boost whenever she hits an enemy, with extra stacks being granted against fire weaknesses. Although the stacks fall off quickly, the boost is still consistent and useful for increasing a team's damage output, especially in combination with Asta's speed-boosting ultimate. As a slight downside, however, Asta is one of the few free characters in the live service Honkai: Star Rail whose element overlaps with another, which has her competing somewhat for a team slot with Fire Trailblazer - although, on the other hand, one of her ascensions does increase the fire damage of other characters, further increasing her usefulness against fire-weak enem

Character designs are gorgeous. Unsurprisingly, HoYoverse has already managed to stock Honkai Star Rail with a roster of equally appealing, well-designed heroes that will tax players’ willpower and wallets, if they’re so incli

The sci-fi setting works. Shocker - Honkai Star Rail borrows elements from Honkai Impact 3rd when it comes to story-telling beats and world design, so it’s not like players didn’t know this was already a serviceable universe to take a break in. That said, though, Honkai Star Rail ’s initial story is more enthralling than, say, Genshin Impact ’s opening hours - and it only gets more intriguing from th

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

Lightning-Lord is the top priority when leveling up Jing Yuan's Traces. This means that his Talent, Prana Extirpated , should be the focus of Trace's ascension, as it is the one that triggers Lightning-Lord. This should be followed by Jing Yuan's Skill and his Ultimate since they both give extra attack counts to Lightning-L

If players want an alternate Relic set, Musketeer of Wild Wheat would also work for Jing Yuan . Although the ATK bonus is smaller (10%), pairing a 2-piece set with a 2-piece Band of Sizzling Thunder will make Jing Yuan's attacks stronger overall. On the other hand, a 4-piece Musketeer would be wasted on him, as he does not typically use his Basic att

Similar to Herta, Qinque is an Erudition character using the Quantum element, and can be claimed for free after clearing Memory Stage 3 in the Forgotten Hall - meaning that she won't be available for players through most of the currently available story unless pulled. While her Quantum element gives her a solid niche among Star Rail 's free characters, most of her tools revolve around a heavily chance-based mini-game, making her inconsistent in combat, and, like Herta, lacking in comparison to other damage dealers, especially with a slow-to-charge ultimate and the skill point hungry nature of her tile matching mini-g

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 character 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
