Guide for the Tsunami War event in Honkai: Star Rail

Like other combat tests, the Tsunami War event in KhSR will be divided into six main stages, in which the Pathfinder will have to fight both ordinary opponents and elite monsters. His main task is to collect Morale, activate the Morale phase and the function, in order to subsequently win.

Morale and Morale phases, in turn, are unique mechanics of Tsunami of War: Untainted childhood memories are ionate and hot. Complete collection" and represent bonuses: While fighting, the Pathfinder accumulates so-called Fighting Spirit for each enemy and fills a special scale. In general, it can be filled up to the fourth level, which, in turn, means that within one battle it will be possible to accumulate several positive effects, which can greatly facilitate the management turn-based combat.

As for the proposed restrictions, according to tradition, in a battle it is important to defeat the main boss in 6 cycles (the total duration of the battle is 3 waves). Respectively, than before the battle will end, the more points will be awarded to the Pioneer at the end of the stage.

As for the goals themselves, in all tests you must complete the following tasks:

1. Reach Morale 4: The Force Awakens phase 1 time.
2. Defeat the boss of the first wave.
3. Defeat the second wave boss.
4. Defeat the third wave boss.

The piggy bank effect

At this stage of the event, you will be able to gain the greatest amount of Fighting Spirit for piggy bank destruction. Among the negative aspects, it is worth considering that each defeated piglet of space imposes the Pioneer status on the squad Weakness.

For two levels of boosts, you can pre-select one of the proposed bonuses:

• Morale Phase 2: Weakness to Intimidation or Sustained Effect.
• Morale Phase 3: “Last strike” or “Evaporative tactics”.

Reaching Morale Level 4: The Force Awakens "Instant drowsiness" will turn all non-boss enemies into piggy banks. This feature will also temporarily increase the damage taken by all enemies.

Detachments

Trial characters at this level are: sang. Taking into the available heroes for the age, you can make teams according to the following templates:

To the Piggy Bank Effect test, it is recommended to use a bunch of power-ups "Sustainable effect" and "Backtrack Tactics" for a team with characters with DoT mechanics, and for a squad without powerful periodic damage - "Weakness to Intimidation" and "The Last Strike".

Tactic

In order to defeat the final boss of the last wave — Stellaron Hunters: Sam, it is recommended to use a certain strategy:

• The key features of the stage are piggy banks, which allow you to quickly accumulate points to enter the 4th phase of Morale. In one wave there can be from 1 to 4 space piglets that can escape in a protracted battle, so it is important to destroy them as quickly as possible.
• Use charged ones wisely superpowers between waves of opponents. The activity includes a sequential battle with three different bosses, so if there is an opportunity to quickly finish off the current elite monster without using an ultimate ability, then it’s worth taking advantage of it. It is especially important to go with your superpowers prepared to the final boss.
• The effect of turning ordinary enemies into piggy banks from 4 phases of Morale triggers at the moment of transition to the last level, so this action is best performed when transitioning to the battle with Sam. After that, use the full potential of the assembled squad and active damage bonuses to break through the vulnerability of the Stellaron hunter and inflict maximum damage on him.

Dangerous Edge

In the Edge of Fire challenge, the amount of Morale is gained faster in those moments when Ally's health increases or decreases. This mechanic encourages squads in which character skills depend on the current HP indicator.

For the second and third levels of enhancements, you can choose one of the following buffs:

• Morale Phase 2: "Equivalent Exchange" or "Desperate Counterattack".
• Morale Phase 3: "Intensifying the fight" or "Decisive blow."

When you reach Morale level 4, a bonus is unlocked "Desperate Scream": before each action, allied heroes will begin to spend part of their HP, and after making a move, on the contrary, they will restore health. In addition, an additional effect is offered: each change of the life meter by 1 units, either to one side or the other, imposes 500 level of status "Scream", which increases damage dealt by 5% (can stack up to 99 times).

Detachments

When building a squad, you can use the recommended trial characters: Lynx. Let's list the main teams of heroes that are able to close this stage with the greatest success:

If, when ing the Dangerous Edge test, you feel an acute lack of health restoration, then use the boost "Desperate Counterattack". Otherwise, it is better to select the effect "Equivalent exchange" to increase crit.

Regarding the bonus "Decisive Strike" — it should be activated instead "Intensifying the Fight" only when the active squad contains 2 or more characters with powerful superpowers and/or bonus attacks.

Tactic

Reach the finals as quickly as possible and win Argenti will only work if you follow a clear strategy during the battle:

• Don't use heroes or cones that shield your allies, and try not to freeze your opponents or otherwise incapacitate them for long periods of time. - it is necessary that allies in the squad could consistently receive damage to increase Morale to phase 4.
• This test is especially sensitive to team compositionTherefore, it is very important to select the ideal squad, taking into the available reserves and leveling - try it change combinations of heroes and strengthening phases 2-3 of Morale.
• Unlike the previous stage, in the second test you need to focus special attention on damage to the boss. Normal enemies should be killed with mass attacks, otherwise their target — reducing the HP of allied heroes to increase Morale.

Supreme Leader

The Supreme Leader Challenge activates a morale bonus when an ally standing first in the squad, uses a superpower. Buffs at other levels also have certain beneficial effects for a specific hero position, so keep this in mind when building your team.

Bonuses are presented in the following options:

• Morale Phase 2: "General Hatred" or "Universal Respect."
• Morale Phase 3: "Decisive attack" or "Hone your strength."

The last level of Morale gives a buff "Cohesion": The damage dealt by the character standing first in the squad increases. The main character's action also advances 100% the moment any other ally uses their superpower.

Detachments

The following trial heroes are available for use in a team: Hoho. Below we will show the best units of characters with the help of which you will be able to successfully complete the current test, taking into all active bonuses:

In the case when all the striking power is concentrated on one specific hero, you should take the effects "Shared Hatred" и "Hone Your Strengths". If the outgoing damage is evenly distributed among squad , then use a bunch of buffs "Universal Respect" и "Decisive offensive". This combination will significantly increase the power of all allies, however, it is still recommended to place the strongest hero in the first slot of the team for the full implementation of the 4th phase of Morale.

Tactic

Comfortably bring your team to the final and win The following recommendations will help Kafka:

• If you have it in your inventory relic sets, which allow you to quickly accumulate superpower energy, they should be equipped on key characters in the active squad.
• When it is necessary to choose the main target for applying a buff, then give preference to the hero who is in first team slot (do the same when healing if several allies lack HP at once).
• Some active power-up mechanics have a certain probability of triggering, so if you didn’t achieve the desired result in one battle, you can start the battle again, without changing the composition of the squad.

Assault on Vulnerability

The name of this test speaks for itself — break through the vulnerability monsters to level up at an accelerated pace Fighting spirit. Attacking enemies with their durability destroyed will also be of great benefit and will allow you to end the battle faster.

There are several bonuses available for the second and third levels to choose from:

• Morale Phase 2: “Ignore vulnerability” or “Detect vulnerability”.
• Morale Phase 3: Shield Break or Pursuit.

After activating the Morale level 4 buff: The Force Awakens "Great Gain Technique" the vulnerability of all opponents will be broken and all associated effects will be activated. Also, penetration efficiency will be increased for allies, and enemies with destroyed durability will begin to receive more damage and delay their attacks.

Detachments

During the team selection process, you can use trial characters: Lynx. You can assemble a strong squad, taking into the vulnerabilities of your enemies, using one of these templates:

For green boost, it is best to select the effect "Vulnerability detection" to have manual control over the boss's durability. When choosing a blue buff, give preference to the bonus "Shield Break" if you want to experience randomness with huge outgoing damage with a 30% chance, and if you need more stable damage, then activate the effect "The pursuit».

Tactic

Defeat the final boss in this challenge — Armor, it will be easier if you follow these recommendations:

• that ordinary enemies are needed only to break through their vulnerability and get a bonus when attacking the boss, so time your attack order so as not to intentionally cause too much damage to the minions.
• All active buffs increase the damage and effectiveness of only those heroes that can damage the stock enemy resilience, so do not take into your team those characters who cannot help with breaking through the vulnerability.
• Be sure to take one healer in the squad - in this test, enemies are capable of causing great damage and freezing one of the allies, which will greatly slow down the pace of the battle.

Excess wounds

In this challenge, the amount of Morale increases significantly after each victories over opponents. It will also speed up pumping excess damage — this is the amount of damage that exceeds the victim's current health at the time of death.

In the two intermediate phases of leveling up, you can choose one of two positive effects:

• Morale Phase 2: “Single oozing wound” or “Multiple redundant wounds.”
• Morale Phase 3: "Last Strike" or "Victory Dash".

Morale 4: The Force Awakens buff activation "Evaporation of Vitality" will increase all damage taken by enemies. Also, when a regular enemy first enters battle, their HP will be significantly reduced.

Detachments

When planning a squad, you can use certain trial heroes: tingyun. Based on the active effects of Morale, you can create one of these commands:

If, to the Excess Wounds test, you have assembled a squad in which the characters deal the main damage to single targets, then choose the enhancement "Single oozing wound". Otherwise, activate the effect "Multiple redundant wounds" to increase the effectiveness of heroes with mass attacks.

Regarding the choice between buffs "The Last Strike" и "Victory Dash" then the first should be chosen if the team deals a lot of damage with its ultimate ability, and the second - when the squad’s damage is concentrated in frequent bonus attacks.

Tactic

Here are some tips that will help you quickly reach the very last boss and win without any problems Cheetah:

• The most important thing in this test is to choose the right reinforcements for the current squad and reach the Morale 4 phase as quickly as possible — his buff will significantly speed up the age.
• Take me to the squad the most powerful damage dealers and do not pay attention to the element of breaking through the vulnerability if this character is significantly superior to others in of outgoing damage.
• High damage allows you to eliminate enemies very quickly, so special there is no need for a healer and his slot can be taken by another damage dealer or hero.

Continuous action

In this challenge, additional Morale points can be gained when one of the allies performs several actions in sequence. The chain of such events includes the use of regular skills, the activation of superpowers, and the triggering of bonus attacks.

Green and blue boosts offer a choice of one of two available bonuses:

• Morale Phase 2: “Chain motivation” or “Hyperspeed”.
• Morale Phase 3: "Professional Demoman" or "Chain Boost".

When you unlock Morale Level 4: The Force Awakens "Sweeping Storm", then enemies will begin to receive increased damage. When awakened, this buff also advances all characters' actions forward by 100%.

Detachments

In this team building challenge, I suggest the following trial characters: Topaz. Below are the strongest units that will allow you to achieve the best results:

Ideally, it is recommended to activate the buff in Morale phase 2 "Hyperspeed" but if for some reason you can’t often act with the same character, then select an effect "Chain motivation"- you will be able to steadily accumulate additional points, but more slowly.

Both Morale Phase 3 buffs provide useful options, but if you decide to focus solely on consecutive attacks, then activate the bonus "Chain Boost"  - otherwise take the buff "Professional Demoman".

Tactic

Cocolia is the final boss in this challenge, and in order to quickly reach it and defeat it without unnecessary problems, you will have to adhere to some rules:

• Concentrate all hits are on the boss - using skills on ordinary opponents will not bring much benefit, and every useless attack increases the chances of failing a perfect age.
• Accumulation and using ultimate ability is the key to victory, so whenever possible, use heroes, light cones and artifacts that will allow you to use this skill more effectively.
• If you cannot cope with the last boss and his retinue through automatic combat, then take manual control of the battle - this will allow you to completely control the use of your superpower and deliver all blows exactly to the target.
