With the latest **Honkai: Star Rail ** version update, players can finally experience the climactic conclusion to the Penacony storyline. However, this update isn't just about endings – it also ushers in a wave of new characters like Robin and Boothhill , as well as uncharted territories waiting to be explored. These unique areas promise a set of unique exploration points, while players need to navigating dizzying Dreamscapes, or use launchers to access areas, which otherwise not accessible, collect treasures and origami birds , or simply enjoy the scen
The upcoming Honkai: Star Rail banner in version 3.4 will feature Phainon . On July 11, the Fate collab will also begin, so players can pull for Saber and Archer. The Fate banners will last until the end of HSR
Added to this, players will also be able to expand ratu Spiral Abyss their Dreamscape Sticker collections with new stickers, each offering not just a reward of extra Stellar Jades but also a nostalgic reminder of their journey through the Penacony storyline. While some stickers can be acquired through the straightforward progression of the Trailblazer Quest, others will require players to do additional quests or hidden interactions, or simply have a look-out for finding floating bo
Ruan Mei is the first ever 5-star limited Harmony character to be released in **Honkai: Star Rail ** . Despite powerful options like Sparkle and Robin appearing during the Trailblazers' journey in Penacony, she has remained a solid support character. Her utility has increased even further with the addition of strong DPS units like Boothill and Firefly, and she also has excellent synergy with Harmony
Beyond these benefits, Time Woven Into Gold also grants a powerful Crit DMG buff that applies to both Aglaea and Garmentmaker, stacking up to six times for immense scaling especially over longer battles. However, unlike characters such as Acheron, who rely on their signature light cone to fully enable their kit, Aglaea does not depend on this weapon to function. While it greatly improves her damage output, she can still perform well with alternative options. This means that players who prioritize pulling for new characters rather than their light cones can afford to skip it, especially if they have strong 4-star alternatives like Sweat Now, Cry L
Building a team in Honkai: Star Rail is heavily dependent on a player's luck. Not everyone can play using the best characters in the roster . However, the F2P units in this game are more than capable of clearing almost everything that stands in the way. Here are four F2P team comps that any player can bu
It's also worth mentioning that as a healer, Lynx will fit into any other team just fine. The same can be said with all healers unless players are using characters who can self-heal like Fu Xuan and Physical Trailbla
March 7th's Swordmaster form makes for a very good sub-DPS in a wide variety of team compositions, especially in Follow-Up Attack teams with units like Xueyi and Topaz. She can be built for Crit or Break depending on what role you want her to fill, and she gains either increased DMG or Toughness Reduction depending on the Path of the character she uses her Skill
Yukong is the first-ever 4-star Imaginary support unit who focuses purely on offense . She offers massive ATK and CRIT buffs while also being able to deal good damage on her own . Her biggest downside is her Skill's ATK/CRIT buff uses charges that are consumed after any ally's turn ends, which makes SPD and turn management very important when using
Ruan Mei at E1 offers exceptional value, making her an excellent choice for those looking to maximize utility without heavy investment. When her Ultimate is active, all allies benefit from a 20% DEF ignore on their attacks, significantly boosting overall damage output in battles. Considering that DEF ignore is not reliant on any character's stat regardless of what they are scaling (May it be Break Effect, ATK, HP etc.) this Eidolon is highly versatile for any character players may want to utilize her with. Furthermore, it stacks with other sources that may ignore target's DEF, such as Firefly's first Eidol
To get this sticker, players simply need to unlock the Chapter 16 Sticker collection. (This collection becomes available once players obtain any other sticker from the All It Was Best of Times collection using its designated collection meth
While Reminiscence isn't as powerful as 4-star or 5-star light cones, it remains a decent F2P alternative option for Aglaea, particularly for players seeking a DMG-oriented alternative. The light cone provides a general DMG increase for both Aglaea and Garmentmaker, allowing for a steady boost in offensive capabilities. However, its biggest drawback lies in its stacking mechanic—it requires 4 turns to reach max stacks, meaning that in shorter battles, players may not experience its full eff
With her last eidolon, Ruan Mei extends the duration of her Ultimate by one turn - which is a good comfort upgrade, ensuring a more consistent uptime for All-Type RES PEN buff from E1, especially for those setups / builds which cannot activate it every 2-turns with enough Energy Regeneration. Additionally, it also synergizes the Ultimate uptime better with the DMG buff from her signature light cone, Past Self in Mirror, which also lasts 3 turns. However, considering the high investment required for this Eidolon, it is still not as significant value-worth wise, especially for low spenders, despite on its own being a good QoL-oriented Eido
