“Honkai: Star Rail” Guide: Elements Explained

“Honkai: Star Rail” is an exciting upcoming game from the HoYoverse universe that is now available for both mobile and PC platforms. Players can look forward to an impressive cast of new and returning characters from the previous game, Honkai Impact 3D. One of the game’s crucial aspects that players need to master is the elements. While “Honkai: Star Rail” shares some similarities with “Genshin Impact” in terms of its emphasis on elements, there are seven unique elements in Honkai that players must learn to wield effectively.

Each character in “Honkai: Star Rail” is affiliated with one of the seven elements, and each element has a different effect on enemies, such as applying DoT or inflicting status impairments. Players need to utilize their characters’ elemental strengths to target their enemies’ weaknesses, as enemies feature multiple elemental weaknesses that can be exploited. When the enemy’s Toughness bar is depleted, players can “break” the enemy, increasing the damage dealt and inflicting status impairment.

“Honkai: Star Rail” Elements

Fire – applies Burn status which has a damage over time effect (DoT)

Ice – applies Frozen status which stuns a target and deals damage over time.

Wind – applies Wind Shear status which deals damage over time.

Lightning – applies Shock status which deals damage over time.

Physical – applies Bleed status which deals damage over time.

At release, Lightning characters are the most common among all available characters, while Quantum and Imaginary characters are rare and potentially more valuable. By building a balanced team with characters from different elements, players can dominate their enemies and emerge victorious.

“Honkai: Star Rail” is an exciting game that promises an engaging storyline and epic turn-based fights.
