In Honkai: Star Rail, character stats play a crucial role in determining their abilities within the game. These stats provide measurable values that directly impact a character’s combat effectiveness, survivability, and overall performance. By understanding and manipulating these stats, players can optimize their approach to battles and increase their chances of success.
Base stats serve as the foundation for a character’s growth and progression. They represent the initial values assigned to a character’s attributes or statistics at the beginning of the game. In Honkai: Star Rail, there are four base stats:
- HP (Health Points): Determines the amount of damage a character can sustain before dying. It also affects healing abilities and survivability.
- ATK (Attack): Determines the damage dealt by a character’s attacks. Higher ATK stats result in more powerful attacks.
- DEF (Defense): Reduces the amount of damage taken from attacks. Higher DEF values make a character more durable.
- SPD (Speed): Determines the order in which characters and enemies take their turns in combat.
HP (Health Points)
HP represents a character’s ability to sustain damage. It determines the amount of damage a character can withstand before dying. Additionally, some character skills and abilities are based on HP. The character’s base HP is determined by their level and the level of their equipped Light Cone. Percentage and additive HP bonuses can be obtained from various sources such as relics, light cone abilities, and character skills.
ATK determines the damage dealt by a character’s attacks. Both characters and enemies use ATK to calculate the damage dealt. Characters’ base ATK is influenced by their level and the level of their equipped Light Cone. Similar to HP, percentage and additive ATK bonuses can be obtained from relics, light cone abilities, and character skills.
DEF represents a character’s ability to resist incoming attacks and reduce the amount of damage taken. Some character skills and abilities also rely on DEF. A higher DEF value decreases the damage received, making the character more durable. Character DEF is determined by their level and the level of their equipped Light Cone. Like HP and ATK, DEF can be further enhanced through percentage and additive bonuses from various sources.
In combat, SPD determines the order in which characters and enemies take their turns. A higher SPD stat allows a character to act before others with lower SPD, providing them with a tactical advantage. SPD is calculated for each character and enemy, and the one with the lowest Action Value acts first. The Action Value is modified through various actions and abilities, which can either advance or delay a character’s turn.
Aside from the base stats, Honkai: Star Rail incorporates advanced stats to deepen character development and gameplay. These stats provide more specific information and often interact with other mechanics or systems within the game.
Crit Rate determines the probability of landing a critical hit. A critical hit deals additional damage beyond a normal attack, resulting in higher overall damage output. For example, a character with a 10% Crit Rate has a 10% chance of landing a critical hit.
Crit DMG increases the damage dealt when a critical hit occurs. A critical hit surpasses the normal damage output and inflicts a more significant amount of damage. For instance, if a character has a 150% Crit DMG, their critical hit will deal an extra 150% of their regular damage.
The Break Effect enhances the effects of Weakness Break. Weakness Break temporarily weakens or disables an enemy, making them more vulnerable to attacks or limiting their actions. The Break Effect increases the damage dealt during Weakness Break, the damage over time inflicted by Weakness Breaks, and the action delay caused by certain Weakness Breaks.
Outgoing Healing Boost
Outgoing Healing Boost increases the amount of healing provided by a character. It amplifies the healing power of a character’s abilities, benefiting both themselves and their teammates. For example, a character with a 30% Outgoing Healing Boost will heal for 30% more HP when using healing skills.
Max Energy represents the resource expended to use ultimate abilities. Each character has a different value for Max Energy, ranging from 90 to 140. Ultimates can only be used when Energy reaches its maximum value.
Honkai: Star Rail offers a rich variety of character statistics that contribute to a dynamic and strategic gameplay experience. Understanding these stats, their interactions, and how they affect gameplay is essential for optimizing character performance and achieving success in battles. So dive in, master the stats, and unleash the full potential of your characters in Honkai: Star Rail!
