We hope this article helped you learn more about update 2.3 in Honkai: Star Rail. Share your opinion about the patch and innovations in comments. Follow the sections for other articles on the game builds.
Bonus planars look like a must-have for players playing through them. Yes, you need nastak, but the bonus is worth it, since it is a 25% damage bonus to attacks + 25% ku.
But the planars for penetration look very specific, and will work ideally only on the Firefly / in the presence of SV, and, unfortunately, it will not work for Boothill, due to the instability of the buff
The new caves for bonus attacks look interesting, of course, they will suit Gerta, Himeko, Jinyuan, Ratio, Jasper, and even Yunli, perhaps they will come in, but Clara is again in trouble.
Breakout caves look like a must-have for any breakout character
I need Hoho for the sake of Doctor Ratio (heal )
I hope Sam will be through the penetration. Already a I collected it under the penetration. All that was left was the sign of Ruan.
How they will tear into a German swastika and knock out: Zaryanka, and Firefly, and Jasper... How I want Jasper with a sign, but I just as much want the first two girls, apparently I’ll have to wait for the rerun and cry :)
Let this quantum mom step on me please, like selling a kidney for pixels
Where is the tank rerun?
Is the tank FuXuan? If yes, then it should already be in 2.2 or 2.3, it's coming soon
I'm waiting for Firefly. I'm giving up on everyone, until summer)
I agree with you and so do I
I will hope for a gift from the developers, because... I’ll also knock out Fu Xuan (I’ve been waiting for her since Sparkle). A gift from the developers, because the release day of Firefly coincided with my birthday.
This update is extremely intriguing, and it looks like it will focus on consistent, high-level content, which is good news.
I also wonder what the new mode is in the Virtual Universe, since judging by the description it will not be similar to the Swarm Invasion and Gear Gold.
And what is the difference between the Hall of Oblivion and the Illusion of the End if both are bosses?
Cool, I wish I could get this wonderful girl Firefly
