The Ultimate 10 Tips & Tricks to MAXIMIZE your Damage in Honkai: Star Rail

[@OkCodeTV]

derp we has a lil outdated dmg clip there but still dmg% > atk% unless very early game

[@OkCodeTV]

DMG% is the hardest stat to get in relic so always take it, take crit% and crit dmg% next, then atk% being your last focus because you get a lot of atk% anyways

[@vCharliee]

@@OkCodeTV is it a possibility that attack% lightcones open up better dps as it can allow you to run other main stats such as speed and break effect etc. as you can still maintain high atk?

[@rsg_magfire]

Natasha is my auto attack DPS lmao. Her e6 makes her hit hard damn

[@born_confused2765]

​@OkCode omg man... I bought the 5* distruction con for herta's store this morning I was debating whether to buy the hunt one or the distruction one and finally choosed the distruction one,I should have choosen the hunt one 🤧and give it to my seele I have the swordplay 4star con on my seele by the way

[@minghanchua8462]

What's considered as mid game?

[@jdrm3710]

TLDR: When it says Increase ATK%, it meant the stat, whereas DMG% = Total damage bonus (multiplier like Yelan's passive on ult).

Also one thing to note about Swordplay, it procs the DMG% increase for every hit. So for instance Dan Heng gets multiple stacks off of one E since it hits multiple times

[@BobJoe-js6du]

Does that also apply for yanqing?

[@Mugetsu192]

so its basically unconditional boost for Yanqing since you almost always use his skill (hopefully it really works that way, I dont have swordplay)

[@hidro4166]

@@Mugetsu192 can confirm, yanqing with swordplay gets 4x "hits" when he uses skill so you start off with 4 swordplay stacks right off the bat

[@doombringer9552]

If it's early game and you are not levelling your relics yet go for set bonus, especially for the healer. Main stat at lvl 1 is way too low to matter

[@huismands]

FYI, there are certain strats you can use to clear World 3, 4 and 5 of Simulated Universe using specific paths. I just beat World 5 using the Remembrance Path to perma-freeze the boss for example.

[@rowin6030]

I cleared world 6 using Bronya,Seele,Asta,Natasha The Hunt path.

[@LightPrevailsAll]

I had no problems with World 3 at all bc of my Clara, March 7th, Natasha team comp (even forgot who was the 4th one bc they didn't matter at all) with counters healing and more dmg on counter attacks. It was sooo fun and so easy to do, just stale for time with Clara taunting behind a shield while boss is dying attacking her :'D

[@jesroe5842]

Destruction is unga Bunga op

[@darkdude1996ify]

Ok build phys Natasha, noted. Phys Natasha is the new DPS Diano

[@kienmaple]

the 5 star tank lightcone is actually pretty good for fire mc. It gives effect res, + shield + dmg reduction with shield (he's going to have the shield all the time). You can use Day one of my new life on March 7th to shield him and have your team be invincible against single target boss. It's not bad at all.

[@zaimieyy]

the argument here is the effect is too much it become unnecessary other than Gepard since he is Ult dependant, a good gepard use energy regen rope instead of Def%. in the end its all about resource management

[@kienmaple]

@@zaimieyy we're talking about lightcones, not relic. And I was referring to fire MC, not Gepard

[@danielvinceneo3556]

Thanks code, my Gepard can now deal damage with his burst👍

[@ryznak4814]

Seen no one mention it before so: at 10:08 dmg > crit and crit < dmg is the exact same thing.

[@Sodaptive]

also missed the dmg bonus at 8:21, should be 60% dmg bonus from the light cone at 8:15

[@sunbleachedfly2]

I am running subscribe for more on my hunt characters since the effect sounds broken. but i thought I was doing something wrong bc weren't many guides recommending it. and youre the first one to ever recommend that light cone. i knew i could trust you mr code

[@yuzakimadara4266]

Care to tell me which hunt did you use this lightcone on?

[@orochiran]

Since the healers will usually use their basic attack that means I should level that on Natasha and make her a main dps right?

[@ardaxus]

Main DPS no, shield breaker YES! stack so much Break Effect alongside HP/ENERGY and she will help you way better than building as DPS

[@jrocch29]

I pulled the "Something Irreplaceable" 5 star Destruction light cone today (and yes I'm sad it wasn't a character lmao) but it gives 24% atk and when you defeat an enemy or get hit you heal for 8% of your atk and gain 24% dmg buff. Learning that this is actually amazing due to the dmg% makes me feel a little better. Now I just need Clara 😭

[@filon8893]

Its best destruction light cone at the moment, nice

[@Yoanka]

Best of luck on your next standard roster character being Clara, then! And new destruction users are bound to come out over the next few patches, since they'll be releasing a lot of characters to fill up the roster. Hopefully one of them strikes your fancy so you can give them the shiny 5-star light cone. :)

[@jrocch29]

@@Yoanka Thank you! I actually built destruction MC just to try it out and it really is a crazy strong light cone! Hoping for Clara (or another cool new character) soon!

[@burgerfk9106]

So this means since bronya gets 100% crit on basic atk , now i build her with a bunch of crt dmg and dmg % and make her my main dps , yes seems right

[@reydez84]

yeah natasha is really good bro, shes the last one to die always xD, that atk% vs dmg% was nice, good shit mr chode

[@KawashiK]

Ngl, I thought of DMG% being better than Atk% before, but it took me awhile to notice DoT effect doesn't follow the same calculations and doesn't Crit. DoT will want a whole lot of attack instead. I am testing if Breaks also follow the same formula as DoT, but some has initial hits that crit so..... yeah. Too early to tell which is better.

[@Ruriiiiiii]

DoT damage is based off Break Effect stat I think

[@KawashiK]

@@Ruriiiiiii But Breaks and DoT are different. True, breaks apply DoT, but there are characters and Resonance abilities that apply DoT without Breaks, and we do not yet know if those have independent variables. It's very confusing tbh.

[@hey7492]

What is DoT? I have a lightcone with that but I don't understand how it works

[@Ruriiiiiii]

@@KawashiK Yea, that's what got me confused too. So I just wrote "I think". The game doesn't really explain how damage works in this game that well. I thought before that Break Effect was the damage you do on white shield. Since that would just make more sense, but apparently not. Haha

[@Ruriiiiiii]

@@hey7492 It's Damage Over Time, basically, if you do, for example, The Shock debuff with your serval skill. That can be considered as Damage Over Time.

[@KinderHades]

Everything has diminishing returns. What you really want is to maximize your attack percent, damage percent and crit stats to achieve the highest damage possible by maximizing the multiplicative stats. Which is very dependent on characters and team comps. Not to mention you can only use what you have.

[@milliondreams2206]

Never take opinions from a whale they don't know shit

[@hxrry6359]

Because you still need resources to lvl em up and if the 4 stars are actually better than it’s better to use your resources on the 4 stars

[@yammoto148]

Because its a waste of time and they mostly improve attack % which scales worse than DMG%, the only one thats worth is the Hunt one which gives crit rate.

[@sriracha3458]

Just because they're 5 star and free s5 doesn't automatically mean they will be better than the 4 stars. Read their effects first. Except for the hunt one, the others suck bc DMG%>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ATK%

[@leoaguiar8582]

Code, do you know how speed and turn order works? Im trying to find this info but there is no info available so far

[@RealYorae]

Speed is using an interval clock tick known in this game as a cycle but I don't think the formula is released. So we can say as an example a cycle is 100 Speed average turn. If you have 150 Speed, you will likely get a double turn every second turn. If you played FF Tactics it's similar to an initiative bar. Imagine the cycle clock does 10 ticks, and every tick is 1/10 of your speed as it searches for the next person to get their turn. So Dan is getting 15 (1/10 of his 150 SPD) and MC is getting 10 per tick. If two people get to 100 at the same time it picks the person with the higher speed stat and all battles start one cycle complete so everyone is full initiative which is where speed tuning certain supports comes in

[@leoaguiar8582]

@@RealYorae I think I have a way better idea now. Thanks a lot for the explanation!! I will do some testing with the boots considering a minimal amount of cycles to see wether speed or atk% is better for Hunt characteres
