Honkai: Star Rail is a turn-based game that requires some tricky technique, so it can be helpful to have the following beginner tips.
Getting started with some games can be difficult for some, and Honkai: Star Rail is no exception. Although the title is a turn-based game, there are many mechanics that players can use to enhance their combat performance in battles. For example, just knowing how to farm properly or even how to gain an advantage before a fight can make the battle easier.
7. Understand the Character’s Destiny
There are a total of seven Fates in Honkai: Star Rail. To summarize, here’s what each Destiny will play in the game:
– The Destruction: DPS has good survivability
– The Hunt: Nuker single target
– The Erudition: Multi-target DPS
– The Harmony: Support buff
– The Nihility: Hỗ trợ debuff
– The Preservation: Defensive characters protect their teammates
– The Abundance: The Healer
Destiny not only determines the role of the character in combat, but it is also easier for players to farm because each Destiny will require a specific type of material. This applies to both Light Cone (weapon) and Trace (skill) of the character. For example, Arlan and the protagonist will use the same resources because both are characters of the class The Destruction. All weapons from this class will also use the same item.
6. Attack the enemy before fighting
There are many benefits from attacking the enemy properly before fighting. First, the player can hit an enemy’s weak point (listed under their name) to instantly reduce the enemy’s resistance when the battle begins.
Second, players can also use certain techniques to make the fight go faster. For example, Natasha’s technique can weaken an enemy, which will protect the whole team. Meanwhile, characters like Asta and Arlan can deal significant damage to enemies; Asta can even defeat enemies without fighting just by using her technique before battle.
5. Find out the enemy’s weakness
Different from before the battle, the player can also see the enemy’s weakness when the battle begins. Breaking the enemy’s resistance will delay their action. In a normal battle, this shouldn’t matter too much, but against a strong boss, delaying action can be of great help.
In addition, players will also want to pay attention to the character’s effectiveness in breaking weaknesses. For example, a protagonist’s skill can reduce enemy resistance more for the main target, while the reduction is lower for adjacent enemies. Multi-hit characters like Jing Yuan and Asta are also excellent as each hit lowers the enemy’s resistance. However, their mechanics are a bit more complicated, so it’s important to understand how to maximize the abilities of these characters.

4. Five types of skills
There are five types of skills in Honkai: Star Rail. Each of these skills, except for the technique, can be leveled up through the Trace system.
– Basic ATK: Can be cast unconditionally and will restore one skill point.
– Skill: Has more effects and better damage, but requires a skill point.
– Ultimate: Requires enough energy to cast and can be used outside of the character’s turn.
– Talent: Passive ability will automatically activate during battle.
– Technique: Can only be used outside of a fight.
Unlike in Genshin Impact, where the passives are automatically unlocked when the character breaks through, in Honkai: Star Rail, the player must unlock them through the Trace system. Meanwhile, the endowment level can be simply leveled up to increase its effect.
3. Technique and skill points
Both skills and techniques have their own set of points that can be used to use them. Skill points can be recovered using basic attacks while technique points require the player to destroy a “purple object” in the open world. Note that each area will have a different appearance of the purple object, but if the item glows purple, it’s probably the item that will restore the skill point.
Basic attack restores one skill point while destroying purple object restores two skill points. Initially, players will start with a lower technical score, but it will increase to five points when they reach the required level.
2. Technical optimization
Techniques can only be used outside of battle, so the player must use them before starting the battle. There are different effects that the player can get when using this ability. Most characters simply deal damage to enemies, but others have more unique effects. Here are some examples:
– Explorer: Restores 15% HP for the entire team
– Dan Heng: Increases own ATK
– Bailu: Apply an invigorating effect that heals the character when they are hit
– Seele: Stealth and instantly receive enhanced attack at the start of battle
1. Destroy and Investigate Everything
In the open world, there are different types of objects that can be destroyed:
– General audience: Credit granting and/or document aggregation
– Purple Object: Heals two technical points
– Green object: Heals the whole team
In the simulated universe, however, a regular object would instead provide currency that could be spent in the simulated universe. This challenge also requires players to use existing items more strategically. For example, since there are not many purple objects in the secret scene, the player should save his technique until entering a difficult battle, so if there is a purple object before the elite stage, the player can can do something like:
– Fight with enemies easily
– Use two techniques to prepare for the next battle
– Destroy purple object to restore points
This way, the player will maintain five technical points even after fighting the elite boss. A method like this is useful to ensure players don’t run out of points before a tough battle.
