Iron cavalry against the invasion penetration effect vulnerability, helps weaken the enemy’s resistance and inflict increased damage. Two part set boost penetration effect (EP) carrier, and a full-fledged set allows you to ignore a certain percentage of enemies’ defense if the conditions within the battle are met.
In this guide, we'll look at which characters would benefit from the Iron Cavalry against the HSR invasion, under what circumstances the full set will work, and where to get it. In addition, we will consider options for 2x2 combinations with other sets of artifacts.
Where to get the Iron Cavalry Against Invasion Relic Set
The dungeon with the set in question is located on "Great Theater of Penaconia". Next, we will consider in detail all the ways to obtain a set of the desired equipment.
Cave of Corrosion: The Cavalry's Path
Iron cavalry against the invasion of Honkai: Star Rail is obtained in the Cave of Corrosion: The Cavalryman's Path dungeon. Within this activity there is also a chance to farm the second set "Courage of the Wind".
Before starting the test, you are asked to select the difficulty. Depending on the level, the rarity of the set parts received will change:
- 2⭐ is dropped before level II.
- 3⭐ falls at all stages.
- 4⭐ occurs on any difficulty.
- 5⭐ begins to fall out from stage III.
Synthesis of Cave Relic Parts
The least problematic method of obtaining the Iron Cavalry against Invasion equipment is Synthesis of materials. To do this, you need to disassemble legendary items into fragments, which can later be converted into certain parts of the set. Self-curing resin allows you to select the main characteristics of any piece of equipment, with the exception of the head and hand slots.
How does the Iron Cavalry work against invasion?
Two parts of the set give 16% of the penetration effect to the owner. With a full set of artifacts, special conditions for use appear:
- If a hero equipped with this set has 150% penetration effect or higher, it becomes possible to ignore 10% of the enemy's defense when dealing penetration damage.
- After reaching 250% of the penetration effect, damage from super penetration ignores an additional 15% of protection, which in total with the bonus discussed above gives 25%.
The operation of a full set of equipment depends on the owner’s EP and the presence of special mechanics when the peak percentage is reached. Super penetration in the equipped character's abilities is obligatory convention for an additional +15% ignore defense.
Set Bonuses
2 parts: increases the penetration effect by 16%.
4 parts: If the owner's penetration effect is greater than or equal to 150%, then when dealing penetration damage, the owner ignores 10% of the enemy's defense. If the wearer's penetration effect is greater than or equal to 250%, then the super penetration damage they deal ignores the additional 15% defense.
Features
When assembling heroes, you should take into the buff from 2 parts of the set, and also pay attention to the characteristics of individual components of the entire set of equipment to obtain greater effectiveness in battle. Below are all the possible parameters that you may encounter as you level up 5⭐ relics:
- Head — Iron Cavalry homing helmet.
- Arms — Bracer of Crushing Iron Cavalry.
- Body — Silver armor of the Iron Cavalry.
- Legs — Sky Greaves of the Iron Cavalry.
Who is the Iron Cavalry against the invasion in Honkai: Star Rail?
The most important condition for the full-fledged “Iron Cavalry against Invasion” set to work is the presence of 160% penetration effect. Since the equipment set involves dealing damage and ignoring armor, it is suitable for the main damage dealer and sub-deader. The whole difficulty lies in the second ive, which becomes available when you reach 250% EP and the presence of super penetration in the characters’ abilities.
Let's take a closer look at who this set of artifacts is suitable for and under what conditions:

Features |
For Firefly, the set can be called a signature set, since she is able to fully unleash its potential. The heroine's damage directly depends on the EP, so this characteristic is a priority for her. When equipped, the effectiveness of the kit will also increase after upgrading the “Module β: Instant Armor” track. A ive skill is revealed when a superpower is active and works until it ends. The ultimate also grants 50% vulnerability penetration until the end of Full Burn. In addition, when building up Sam's tracks, you can get 37% ive penetration, which makes finding the required stat a little easier. As a result, reaching the threshold of 250% of ES required for the kit to fully operate will not be difficult. |
|
As for Boothill, the cyborg cowboy has quite a lot of penetration effect in his tracks, in addition to this, he has the ive talent “Ghost Charge”. The accumulated percentages of EP go into crit. damage and crit. chance, but the boost accumulated in this way cannot exceed 150% and 30%, respectively. Without a signature cone and s in the form "Genius of Diamond Stars". |
|
Xuei has one of the highest penetration rates and is capable of reducing the enemy's resistance, regardless of his type of vulnerability. The Foreshadowing Trace increases her overall damage proportional to the penetration effect, making the effect of the two pieces of the set even more useful. Typically, Xuei should collect crit. chance and crit. damage along with the penetration effect, so you should not deliberately gain 250 units of the last characteristic, because of which you will only be able to achieve the maximum bonus thanks to the features of the combat modes. To fully reveal the set, you will need to put the Imaginary GG in the group. Even if all the points are observed, “Genius of Diamond Stars” will remain the best set of artifacts on Xuei, and “Iron Cavalry Against Invasion” will be on the level of the “Thief of the Falling Meteor” set or 2x2 sets. |

An extremely situational, but possible option if you want to put more emphasis on your own damage, rather than the heroine's healing abilities. Since Linsha consistently deals damage with active abilities and a bonus attack, and also needs a penetration effect, the set will show itself well. However, it is worth considering that there is no need to accumulate EP over 200%, which means that in most cases it will not be possible to fully implement the set. Please note that the main characteristics do not change, since the key task of the character remains to allies, and she still cannot fully compete with other damage dealers. Mainly, "Iron Cavalry Against Invasion" is combined with other sets, for example, "A messenger wandering in hacker space". |

Despite the fact that Ninja doesn't have any talents that buff her based on the amount of pierce she has, most of her damage comes from depleting enemy stamina. For this reason, this set will allow Rappa to deal more damage by ignoring defense. An equally useful bonus is the increase in super penetration damage, which is initially present in the arsenal with the second trace. In turn, it is quite possible to achieve 150% and 250% penetration effect with the appropriate s and equipment. In addition, Rappa herself has buffs for this stat. |
|
The Fox itself increases the penetration effect in a fairly large quantity. However, it will still not be possible to reach the required value (220%) without third-party increases. As an additional advantage, in addition to directly increasing the key characteristic, the set also allows you to ignore enemy defense. Thanks to this, in combination with its own similar debuff, Fugue will be able to inflict even more damage when activating the super ability and enhanced basic attack. |
What relics can be combined with
Using the set on other characters is very difficult due to their basic characteristics, position in the squad and buffs given when ascending and leveling up their tracks. If there are acceptable stats in certain parts of the artifacts, you can consider them in combination with other sets:
- 2x2 sets to increase the penetration effect and damage from stamina depletion - Watchmaker of sleepy shenanigans.
- Sets with elemental damage and a penetration effect to apply a ive debuff of the corresponding element - Bandit Desert Thug.
We hope our article helped you find out who is suitable for the Iron Cavalry against the invasion in Honkai: Star Rail and where to find a set of artifacts. Share on comments your opinion regarding the set and ask questions. Stay tuned for updates in sections related to the game: news.
Is it difficult for boothill to collect 300 penetration without gg and zuni? a cone and 17-18% secondary are enough, which is not that difficult to assemble. Another question is whether there is a goal to collect crits and attack with secondary ones.
Not everyone turns out the cones on the characters, which already cuts off 60%. Moreover, for the full set to work, you need a superbreak, which only GG imposes now. What's the point of even bothering and looking for these stats if nothing works? Maximum first ive. Well, yes, finding suitable artifacts means buying yourself a registration in a dungeon with arts.
Well, who doesn’t deal with their problems. The point of going for these clothes is just for the sake of Sam and just 2 pieces for the cowboy, if you haven’t had any luck with substats so far.
It’s better not to farm this set for a cowboy - the “thief” is much better suited for him. Injecting energy + zhuan mei is more important to him.
The only way to implement a new set is Signa Boothill + imaginary GG + sang + Gallagher.
And this build will not only be crippling in of speed breakpoints and recovery, but it is also unlikely to outperform a more comfortable setup with zhuan mei (and armor/spark/GG).
In short, a new set exclusively on firefly. And maybe one of the future heroes.
Why put Pela instead of Ruan Mei?
To collect the maximum amount of protection slice. This build would justify a new Cowboy set and could potentially be on par or slightly stronger than a basic unit with Ruan and a Thief on Boothill.
There is no point in putting Def Zhuan into an assembly with slices. This build is for FTP players without Ruan, but with Boothill’s signature (although this is also optional).
Xuei, this set will suit, although not as well as Sveta, but clearly no worse than a cowboy
if you have a good quantum set, then there is no point in farming Xuei. just like boothill, if there is a good thief.
