Michael Lin & Fish Ling Interview: HoYoverse’s Honkai Star Rail

At the same time, Honkai: Star Rail will carry on the consistent spiritual core of the Honkai series, showing the symbiosis and confrontation between human beings and destiny. Some characters from the Honkai series will show up in Star Rail, surprising players of this series. For example, Himeko and Seele will appear in new identities in the Closed B

The secret connection between the protagonist and the Stellaron will play a pivotal role throughout the main storyline. At the same time, the protagonist’s partners also have various background stories, such as March 7th, and their mysteries will be revealed as the story develops. Every adventure is accompanied by the unknown, and we hope to leave this part of the exploration to the players to disco

That being said, the scale of HoYoverse’s projects has shifted immensely since the success of Genshin Impact , with not just Honkai Star Rail Leaks Star Rail announced, but Zenless Zone Zero , a new action game from the studio, also in development. That’s not to mention the on-going updates for Honkai Impact 3rd , Genshin Impact , and Tears of Them

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

His Feet can focus on either ATK% or Break Effect. Meanwhile, his Planar Sphere should boost his Lightning DMG, while his Link Rope should bump up his Energy Recharge rate. This will allow Jing Yuan to use his Ultimate more often. The best sub-stats are Crit Rate, Crit DMG, and ATK%. While Before Dawn is sure to remain Jing Yuan’s best Light Cone in **Honkai: Star Rail ** , players should be on the lookout for any Relics or Planetary Ornaments that adjust follow-up attacks. If something can make Lightning-Lord stronger, it is good to pursue. Crit stats are always useful, while ATK% bonuses can help scale Lightning-Lord’s

Michael Lin: Yeah. So there will be three planets at launch, three areas that you can explore at launch. There will be the Herta Space Station, the Jarilo VI, and the Xianzhou Luofu. This will be a live service game. and free to play too, so we’ll keep having updates available constantly, just to keep adding new stories and content, new minigames in the game to keep players engaged, there is no endgame in sight. So yeah, there’ll be more content than you can possibly imag

If players want to enhance their damage output in Honkai: Star Rail ’s combat system , however, Seele may be the way to go. This 5-star character follows The Hunt Path, making her strong when hitting single targets with critical damage. Not only is she one of the few characters that use the Quantum element, but she is also a single-target striker that can easily take out weaker opponents and deal massive damage to enemies affected by Weakness Br

Early characters seem more than viable enough to progress with. This is a big one for potential free-to-play users. Even a half-dozen hours into the game, players will find themselves equipped with a team of decent-to-great characters and roleplayers who can easily tackle the content available in the beta. Obviously balancing isn’t final, but it’s nice to feel like the gacha element isn’t a necessity to tackle difficult content — something that can be exacerbated in systems like turn-based games, which players are less able to influence with ideal input sequences like in Genshin Impact ’s action-oriented gamep

In terms of Planetary Ornaments, Inert Salsotto will work best for Jing Yuan . This set will increase Jing Yuan’s Crit Rate by 8%. Because Jing Yuan unlocks a 10% Crit Rate bonus when he reaches A6, he is more likely to get the 50% Crit Rate needed to trigger the set’s secondary perk. The secondary perk increases Ultimate and follow-up attack DMG by 15%. This will strengthen not only Jing Yuan but Lightning-Lord as w

**Honkai Star Rail ’s music is S-tier. ** Seriously, the OST is just full of bops. I’ve had at least three different tracks stuck in my head on repeat since the closed beta test started, and I won’t be surprised if there’s more by the end. HoYoverse knows how to make a catchy b

March 7th’s Shield build plays on her Skill and Talent. She can apply a sturdy shield to allies, drawing the attention of enemies to them. When an enemy attacks a shielded ally, March 7th can Counter twice per turn. Her Frozen build, meanwhile, focuses on Freezing enemies in her Ultimate to deal extra damage. For March 7th to be effective, players should prioritize one build over anot

**Honkai Star Rail borrows a fun element from the Persona series. ** Initiating battles is done on an overworld map and allows players to potentially exploit the weaknesses of an enemy before battle even begins, reminiscent of pre-emptively striking foes in the Persona ga
