Summary
Honkai: Star Railis a turn-based role-playing gacha game. The game is quite popular, and that popularity has been increasing since its launch on consoles. With the console launch, the developers have also added a brand new limited-time event game mode that is accessible after a player completes the main story.
This mini-game of sorts introduces a new accessible area andfeatures a tournamentwhere the player has to face off against countless NPCs in order to be crowned the champion. This mode inHonkai: Star Railallows players to have access to loads ofAether Spiritsand create a team to use for their fights.
4Trampler Consecutive Turns Team
Endless Turns
This team composition revolves around lowering the enemy troops' health bar by taking multiple turns. TheSilverman Gunner’s skill makes it so that the targeted enemy takes more damage when attacked by other allies. This allows the enemy to be defeated a lot quicker, which is whereVoidranger: Tramplercomes in. Trampler’s passive allows it to take an additional turn when an enemy falls. Pair this up with its powerful skill that does massive damage, and Trampler can get quick successive turns.
TheSudden Interjectiondata chip on theVoidranger: Reaverallows it to take multiple turns getting its ult relatively quicker anddealing massive damage to all enemies. The barrage of multiple turns from every Aether Spirit makes for a fun spectacle and dominance against Humanoid enemies. TheSaturated Activation,Safe Mode, andPerformance Allocationdata chips are a must for theWarp Trotteras its sole purpose is only to tank attacks and heal the other allies.
3Enhance Overlord Aether Spirit Team
Damaging Allies Leads To Victory
This team composition is all about theFrigid Prowler, as it is the main and only source of damage.Everwinter Shadewalkeris only present to act as a tank because of its 30%Damage ResistanceTalent and the huge amount of health it can have with the addition of data chips. Frigid Prowler’s skillCryo-Extractionallows it toabsorb 35% of max healthfrom adjacent allies to heal itself and gain a stack that increases Damage dealt by 50%. This can stack up to ten times increasing the damage to numbers beyond one’s imagination. Players must only use Skill and Ultimate on the Frigid Prowler.
One of the most important things to note is that players must have Frigid Prowler in the extreme left and have Everwinter Shadewalker adjacent to it so that it does not take health from any other ally. TheWarp TrotterandEntranced Ingenium: Obedient Dracolionare there to heal the Shadewalker.Efficiency OptimizationandSudden Interjectionare must-have data chips on the Frigid Prowler as less Energy is needed for Ultimate, and an instant turn after the first turn allows for a 100% damage-boosted Ultimate on the first cycle. For the Trotter and Dracolion, a player can putDeep Clean,Morale ActivationandAuto Repair,Matrix Iterationrespectively.
2DoT and Follow-Up Team
Follow-Up City
Who doesn’t like having a bigger team than the enemy and having follow-ups for every attack? This team composition focuses on dealingDoT damageto enemieswith the addition ofSilvermane Cannoneerto spice things up even more. Because of Cannoneer’s Talent, it has its turn first every time, which is very much needed for this team to work. Cannoneer’s Ultimate can give Energy to an ally as well as an increase in Attack. When used onAurumaton Gatekeepercan allow it to use its Ultimate to spawn two Dragonfish.
When the Gatekeeper has its own turn, because of theEfficiency OptimizationandSaturated Activation, it can allow the required Energy to spawn two more Dragonfish. After all allies are down with their turns, the four Dragonfish spawned by the Gatekeeper deal AoE DoT damage to all enemies. If the Cannonneer uses its skill on the Gatekeeper before the Dragonfishes' turn, then a player can witness Cannoneer following up after every Dragonfish AoE attack.Backstage EnhancementandHigh Load-Low Speedare a must for the Cannoneer as they increase its damage a lot but reduce its speed, which is not actually needed.
TheEntranced Ingenium: Illumination Dragonfishacts as an additional DoT ally that can deal AoE damage. The only problem is the Ultimate, which does nothing but that can also be changed using theComputation Lockdata chip, which disables Ultimate butincreases Attack by 75%.Wind Sheer Loopholeis also a good addition for a data chip on the Gatekeeper as it allows its skill to deal DoT damage to all enemies.
1Shielding Teammates Team
Thou Shalt Not Hurt Allies
The last entry on the list is, of course, the Silvermane Shielding team composition. The main focus of this team composition isto shield allies from all possible damageand deal damage through follow-ups. Cannoneer will be using its Ultimate and Skill on theSilvermane Lieutenantto allow the Lieutenant to use its Ultimate to create a shield for all allies.Silvermane Soldier’s task in this team is to shield the Lieutenant and increase Morale using Ultimate.
Silvermane Lieutenant’s Talent allows it to attack an enemy who attacks any shielded ally, including itself. This can occur up to three times each turn and also gives one Energy to the Lieutenant after every counter. If the Cannoneer’s skill is active on the Lieutenant, then it can also follow up after every counterattack.
For the data chips, the best options for Silvermane Lieutenant areFirewall,Shield System, andEfficiency Optimization. These chips allow all enemies to hit the Lieutenant, so it counters more often and also decreases the Energy required for Ultimate, allowing the Lieutenant to shield allies after every two turns or counters. Data chips for Trotter and Cannoneer stay almost the same as previous entries.
