Is Kafka A Must Have? Or Just A Waifu Pull? | Honkai: Star Rail

(Apologies for reuploading. The old video was on outdated information and I couldn't in good conscience ignore it so I went back and updated things. Hope you still enjoy the video!)
Kafka is FINALLY out after being teased to us since the very first minute of the game. A lot of discussion is going around regarding if her focus around damage over time makes her too niche to be considered top tier. We'll be taking a look at her gameplay to see if she's actually good or just a waifu pull.

Apologies for reuploading the video. As people rightfully called out in the comments, the other video was on completely outdated information which, even though it didn't change the overall message of the video, was not good to display. My editor and I worked as fast as we could to rectify the issues and fix a few things. Hope you enjoy the video! Everything should be fixed now :) - Actually there's one thing we missed: At 2:54 we forgot to change the quantum icon to physical.

I think it's interesting that they made her numbers so high she also functions with Crit. It really feels like Mihoyo did the number crunching because every simulation I have seen shows that building Crit and building Attack are extremely close in terms of damage. Obviously I still think she is better paired with one other DoT character + a Harmony, but HyperCrit Kafka with two Harmony supports are clearly good enough for endgame content since she can 0 Cycle clear MoC

Actually if you want to make a follow up team the best contender is Clara. I would say kafka is not the best for a follow up team, i think if you want a full follow up team, clara with march is the best, you shield clara and almost always she will be targeted, witch procs clara AND march follow up, then you can add himeko if you really want. Himeko and herta are fun but i do t think build herta is worth it.

Indeed all the Stellaron Hunters so far are in my opinion the most fun and interesting group of characters there are.

[@RyuKazeko]

She seems literally built to be anti-f2p. You need a lot of investment for both her and your entire team and her eidolons are insanely good so mihoyo is obviously using her as a cash grab. "She is fine at E0" is a BS argument and we all know it. You always want your characters to be as strong as they can but can be okay with it if the difference isn't too big on each of them. Like if E6 is crazy and the rest are meh most people will be content with just getting the character. With kafka you need ALL of them. It's like mihoyo saying "Keep pulling! Keep pulling!" I don't have anything against anyone pulling for her but This situation annoyed me so much that I wanted to rant about it. Hope anyone who wants her gets instant 6 copies because F*** mihoyo for this.

I like your Star Rail character breakdowns.

EOD gamer posted a video showing jing yuan vs Kafka in a hyper carry team comp both using ftp light cones. Even with a team comp and moc buff that favored jing yuan, Kafka out cleared him by like 3-4 cycles.. thats not even giving her a dot support. She’s absolutely AMAZING. She’s also rated 3rd in single target damage, only following yangqing and seele by a few thousand. And then she’s ranked as #1 in aoe damage.

What's the team for that aoe DMG I'm curious

@@robertharp16 a tradition hyper carry team. Tingyun, bronya, luocha, and then Kafka or jing yuan. A team that heavily favors jing yuan. EVEN with that advantage Kafka pulled out ahead by several cycles.

[@KaedeharaLilia]

you can still easily slot in harmony characters, when enemies have fire weakness asta is insane with kavka, and a lot of other characters. It's not like you "need" a team of 3 dot chars with one healer, that's bs. But at least one other dot char is definitely more than recommendet

the only time another DoT unit is going to powercreep kafka is when that DoT unit can also detonate DoTs, which i doubt will ever happen

In which case wouldn't you simply run both at the same time and pull double duty DoT detonations? Assuming of course that other unit could also consistently apply their own DoTs.

[@tim-myton6361]

I’m probably one of the few who pulled for Kafka after trying out her demo and seeing how good she is in combat. I wasn’t interested in her as a character. Sure her voice is hot, but she’s not my type. She is a killing machine though, and she’s worth it for that. Plus, I have both Blade and Silver Wolf, and I’m happy to have the set. So going to use them together. Sampo can still go get lost as far as I’m concerned. Update: Thank the Aeons for little Gui. She makes it possible to build a Kafka DOT team without using Sampo.

[@josephwang8589]

Thx for making team recommendations.

[@firestar6]

She's good but at the expense of having to build a whole other character or characters which nothing wrong with that at all. The main question is will she last forever, is there the possibility of another DoT character doing more which granted I guess you can just put them with Kafka so forget that. But anyway will DoT last forever? Well in Genshin we thought shields would last forever and while they have the devs added enemies that completely negated shields. Now I know this isn't Genshin and this is the Honkai team but they could add enemies that will remove debuffs, maybe a boss that can do such as well. Obviously the answer to this is simple in that she would last a while but you would have to switch off her from time to time. Honestly I don't know why I asked in the first place if the answer was so simple I guess all I ask for now is please don't call DoT the new meta because of one character, at that point everything is meta because everything is good for different situations. Anyways I wanna wish luck for those rolling for her I would but I absolutely dislike her personality and I'm saving for Jingliu anyway so yeah. Please feel free to gather your torches and spears because in these games if someone hates your favorite character then they deserve death apparently man I hate how this community has become but I guess the same can be said for any community for any game. Lastly I wanna apologize for this comment being long I realized I've been doing that a lot recently and I bet ppl don't even read the whole thing because of that.

[@yoiko89]

Just look the calculation 😂 about the dmg. She was in 1st place on AOE scenarios in current state and 3rd place in Single target. I see you like Jingliu so you should pull her if you don't like Kafka it's up to you beside don't push your mindset on this KZbinr. He said what he experience and his personal opinion about the character.

[@yoiko89]

Beside Kafka is DoT enabler we don't know when Black swan release. She will give Kafka more direction in DoT team.

[@Kamishi845]

This is how they will always handle power creep i.e. introduce bosses whose mechanics negate the most meta pick. This is why current MoC feature multiple bosses or bosses with high HP adds, because it makes using Seele more awkward. They will obviously introduce bosses with self-cleansing mechanics in the future, that's just a given. The question is more when rather than if. But yeah, I feel you about saying any ounce of open criticism about Kafka. I think it's unfortunate how rabid a fan community with regards to that sadly, because a person should be allowed to state their opinion about something as long it's done respectfully, and still have their perspective be considered valid even if others don't agree with you.

[@Bunnyyy22]

I'm with you bro. I think she's good but I definitely hate her personality and her fans too who are just hating on jy and other characters cuz of their waifu lol. They'll get triggered if you'll say anything about their waifu that's the thing I hate about GI and star rail community.

[@GentleIceZ]

For anyone out there wondering how much substats you need to make her optimal, word on the street is with all her traces maxed out, you'll only need around 11% Effect Hit Rate in sub stats. EHR body is not recommended. As for speed I've heard to outpace MoC you need 134. Her base speed is 100 and a maxed out boot with Speed main stat gives 25 speed, so you only need about 9 worth of speed on sub stats to make her great. G'luck out there for everyone pulling/building!

Especially since I thought the Yukong companion quest was good and overall well-written and made me really appreciate her more as a character. With Kafka I just ended up feeling like all this pseudo-philosophy about determinism (destiny/fate) vs free will was just so forced in the end. I think it was handled better in the main quest because then the player wasn't forced into making choices still ultimately gated by game design to prove a point, which at least if you care about these things, is a big no-no given how complex this subject actually is. Based on the free unit you get in the event I feel she's ok, but I am honestly happy with my choice of Blade > Kafka.

5:58 Silver wolf doesn't have damage over time, even if she is the one breaking, quantum break is NOT considered as DoT

[@VentingGragory]

Silverwolf applies new weaknesses to targets, which makes them easier to break for SW's allies, which often leads to DoT, indirecty making SW a DoT support

[@supremehonky5573]

@@VentingGragory That's very very indirect then but I guess you can see it like that
