Back to All Characters

Black Swan is one of the first characters who came together with the big Penacony update inHonkai: Star Rail, offering players a different way to play Nihility-based teams. She drowns enemies in the DoT effects inflicted by herself and her allies, resulting in shockingly high damage numbers every time an opponent begins their turn.

The power Black Swan has to offer won’t shine unless she’s fully upgraded, however. ThisHonkai: Star Railguide covers every item you need to collect to power up thisnew member of the Nihility roster, including the ones needed to ascend the character herself.

Black Swan Basic Attack Trace Materials

As it happens, Black Swan’s basic attack is actually quite strong. It has a 74% base chance of inflicting a stack Arcana, which deals damage based on Black Swan’s ATK, and if an enemy is inflicted Wind Shear, Burn, Bleed, or Shock, Black Swan’s basic attack has a chance to inflict an additional Arcana stack. This grants her extra synergy with otherNihility characters like Kafka, Guinaifen, and Sampo.

To get the most out of yourCredits and materials investment, upgrade her Ultimate first, followed by her Talent, then Skill.
