7 MEGA TIPS FOR NEW PLAYERS | HONKAI STAR RAIL GUIDE

[@GachaGamerYouTube]

Hey guys - hope this video helps you! I really didn't want to just provide some basic info, I believe most of you are adequate enough to understand core game mechanics and stuff, so here are some tips that are either less known or aren't disclosed clearly by the game. Follow me on Twitter for more Honkai Star Rail: twitter.com/GachaGamer

[@xilttlix]

I will follow you to whichever gacha game you go. 🎉❤

[@RahamPham]

Loving your videos since genshin. Hoping you add chapters to your videos. so revisiting info is easier.

[@alexandertein1223]

Thanks for tips, can you please make guide on what to avoid early. People may spend precious stuff on shitty things or farm inefficiently, etc.

[@MW.0523]

I wanna ask a question, if I actually got 2 five star character that are hunt type what should I do? because giving up one of the character some how its a waste for me

[@GachaGamerYouTube]

@@MW.0523 If you're interested in doing Forgotten Hall game mode, you will need to build 2 teams, so you will be able to use both Hunt characters. But since I assume you're just starting out, level up one of them for now, you will get much more resources as you progress later on.

[@ryenzo1436]

Another tip for Simulated universe is that the game mode doesn't have a turn limit, so there's really no need for fast clearing, as long as you survive till the last boss youre safe. Use a defensive team and build when the enemies are too hard, you may not clear fast but hey you survived till the end.

[@fandangor6434]

Thats how i play and its very cool :). But there is this gamemode where you need to clear the enemys fast or you cant reach the maximum of rewards.

[@Gnidel]

Defensive team that is safe on autobattle might be faster than offensive team that requires supervision.

[@TrentHobbies]

Defensive teams die to counter bosses tho

[@TrentHobbies]

They actually do stupid amounts of dmg

[@MrSzt]

Kind of,but boss in simulated universe 4 can improve 15%attack every two turns, so if you fight for too long you would be probably defeated in one turn

[@whisperviz1346]

Hoyoverse seriously put many genshin player feedback into this game lol Better artifact system, audio sync with character mouth, bigger max resin, Killing mobs actually give you something useful (even just a little) and many more.

I love they have unique Achievement for specific character, like achievement for using Himeko's Ult 3 times in one match, Or "Foolish little brother.." for using Serval to deal last damage against Boss Gepard

Ngl as someone who has not played any other honkai related games, it is soo hard for me to understand what everything means and there is so much you have to read. I'm glad you make these vids to make things easier to digest!

[@hhayeluj]

This was how i felt when i played honkai impact 😂 i got overwhelmed then eventually didnt play it cuz it was too much for my puny brain, but this is actually tolerable compared to honkai impact but yes you’ll get used to it :D

[@YeahItsJustZ]

Not necessarily Honkai related games as, well, there's only 2 more lol But most turn-based strategy games will require a fair amount of reading if you wanna utilize the mechanics to your advantage. Isn't exactly a game genre where you just brute force everything. Although, just like in quite a few games, you probably can brute force it if you put a lot of money into it.

[@Garfballl]

Gacha games in general are pretty confusing😂😂

[@darkfallSK]

Huge tip for everyone, March is secretly like a top 3 4* unit (right behind the one fox girl and battling Natasha for 2 and 3) so build her she’s a great f2p investment. - My current team is Seele, Fox girl, March, and Bailu. My team is centered around spamming turns with Seele and being unkillable with shields and amazing heals.

[@CroffeeBreak]

Qn, who's a better shielder/tank, fire Trailblazer or March? Just trying to figure out who I should invest in first early in the game. Assume that I will also build Natasha. Thanks in advance!

[@jojomicheldu59]

"Fox girl" 😭

[@Infernaladmiral]

Is she better than Gepard?

[@rinnsnoww336]

​@@Infernaladmiral no, Gepard is better since he is 5* and also because Gepard takes the aggro while March gives the aggro to whoever she gives her shield to.

[@darkfallSK]

@@Infernaladmiral I’d say Gepard is better overall, he can preshield Allies with his technique and his shield is AOE on his Ultimate. March is a budget/freeze focused version of Gepard.

[@rsg_magfire]

You can keep replaying the simulated universe for some mob drops too. Remember that you dont need to use trailblaze power to do so

[@michaelmuliadi6088]

Coming from Trails series, there's a neat trick to make sure your ultimate always comes before enemy action. It's by immediately pressing the ult key right after character action.

[@lucidragon5260]

Also, your Ult won't cast if all the enemies are dead. If you aren't sure a move will kill the last enemy, click the ult after selecting the move. If all the enemies are dead, your ult is still at full power. If they aren't, the ult is usually enough to kill them.

[@albedo-sama9778]

Dan Heng is such an amazing wind DPS character like i love him sm he easily beats so many of the enemies cuz most of the enemies have wind/physical as their weakness. Also i put Herta and borrowed Himeko from my friend and OMG i didnt have to press a single button, use ultimate or even press autoplay during a calyx material farming run. Both Herta and Himeko just kept going with their follow up attacks tht i just have to sit back and watch them shred through 6 waves of enemies 🤣🤣 I was so confused when this happened the first time and thought if i accidentally pressed autoplay or something lol

[@TheLordDeliverence]

Wow, I learnt so much from this video, thank you!

[@Flakii]

I think it’s a better choice to leave your artifacts completely unleveled, we’re going to ditch them like in Genshin when we get a source of 5 star relics And March 7th is usually enough for survivability (unless that enemy is spamming AoE and DoT, Natasha deals with that), and she’ll give you freeze and ice coverage as well as follow-up attacks, you wouldn’t believe they actually gave you a good starter character.. though the game isn’t that hard so you should play who you like, but March 7th is just really good

[@manoharalisa5829]

It is quite difficult for me..

[@adrianmarcelleno2471]

You can use it as material just up it

[@Flakii]

@@manoharalisa5829 then i think natasha + march 7th will be perfect for you, but you should also read all the character passives and skill effects so you can use everything towards your advantage

​@@ryujin6863I mean Gepard is a 5 star so if you have him definitely use him he will be better

played star rail for a bit and the turn based system they went with is pretty fun. mix of trails series and (not sure but I've only seen those in this one) octopath traveller break system. fast forward options in a turn based battle system is always good too.

[@jeeves9233]

TIP 8: Put the tanks or character that is most likely having highest threat on the edges of the team set up! An AOE attack that would otherwise do CLEAVE dmg on either sides of the main target, will no only hit 2 targets instead of 3. Example: Fire MC, Natasha, Bronya, Seele. Here only MC and Nat will get dmged.

[@yeah2128]

The combat system is so good bro

[@avocado.x]

Wait... those tips were really useful. Thank you so much. 😮

[@mike81356]

Which 3* and 4* lightcones are worth investing in? Excluding the BP exclusive ones

[@eula1194]

True. Idk too

[@rio3702]

Some are worth investing

[@chantararix]

I'd say, you can superimpose 3* just fine, but don't level them up. As for which is worth using, it all depends on the character and the role you want them to take. For example, if you want March to have more beefy shield, use a lightcone that enhances her DEF. If you want other effects that do other than that, use appropriate lightcone. It really depends on what you want to improve/highlight in the unit/team. I can put an ATK buffing lightcone for Asta, but I wanted to use her in speed comps so I put a lightcone on her that increases the whole team's speed upon battle entry.

[@witchcandy3671]

Awesome, so useful!

I contest your claim that phys trailblazer is bad! I have a FTP team which is built around her with Trailblazer + March + Natasha + Asta. Trailblazer with an all out attack build is deceptively good at putting out group damage, March gives taunt, Natasha is just good, and Asta can give up to a +50% attack boost at base with her speed+ ultimate proccing the +8% dmg boost for everyone (32%) from the atack buffing link. March and Natasha make this team impossible to kill and gain the ability to remove debuffs too with trace abilities. The game plan is to use Asta to buff Trailblazer into the stratosphere, then keep everyone alive while trailblazer dismembers the opponents. Her burst attack makes her good at crowds + she has amazing single target damage with her ult (which March helps charge).
