3 Playable Imaginary Characters In Honkai: Star Rail
Imaginary is a rare feature in Honkai: Star Rail, but its characters are very powerful.
Since Honkai: Star Rail came out, Imaginary has been the hardest to get. The only choice is Welt, a 5-star character you can get through the game’s gacha system or through limited-time character event banners. With the second half of the version 1.1 update, players get to know Luocha and Yukong, two new Imaginary characters. Many more are on the way. Yukong, in particular, will be free for all players to use in version 1.2, which will make this element easier to get. There is a lot of trying content, like hard bosses like Kafka who are weak to Imaginary. Having access to this element makes it much easier to deal with these challenges.
Like the Quantum element in Honkai: Star Rail, the Imaginary Element’s “weakness break” effect is very helpful to teams because it causes a “Imprisonment” effect, which stops enemies from moving and does more damage. This edge in the order of actions lets players attack more often than their enemies each turn. This makes the Imaginary element a good choice against enemies that are weak to this element. Still, it’s important to keep in mind that each character on the Imaginary team has different pros and cons based on their own paths, which makes it hard to put them in order.
Yukong
Yukong is the only 4-star Imaginary character available right now. He can be a great addition to many teams, especially for players who want an Imaginary character but don’t have any 5-star choices. Yukong, who is on the Harmony route, is mostly a versatile offensive support unit. Her Ultimate skill increases her friends’ Critical Hit Rate and Critical Hit Damage, and it deals powerful Imaginary Damage to a single enemy. Also, her Skill raises the ATK of her friends, which can help in a lot of ways. Yukong can buff Elemental DMG (in her case, Imaginary DMG) and help break weaknesses, just like Asta. This makes her an important part of mono-Imaginary teams.
The numbers of Yukong’s buffs are based on her Trace levels instead of her own stats, which makes her easy to level up. But it’s important to remember that her buffs usually only last a short time and may require careful use of skill points, especially if she can’t use her Eidolons. Her buffs last for 2 character turns, so you have to be quick and plan your actions well to get the most out of them. For example, she could change the order of her actions so that she is faster than the main DPS force. This could make it hard for her to work with characters like Seele who have a high base Speed, unless their action orders are in sync by using certain game features. Some of her buffs are also not completely unique. For example, Tingyun and Asta can also increase ATK, and Bronya can increase Crit DMG.
Welt
As a Nihility character, Welt is very good at giving the party an edge by slowing down the enemies. He can also be used as a sub-DPS with damage bonuses that scale well. With Welt on the team, players can always make sure they have the priority to attack, making enemies wait for several turns while the team takes multiple actions. This works especially well when paired with a character like Asta, who boosts the Speed value of the team. By taking an offensive approach, players can beat or weaken tough enemies before they can use their strong moves, which could keep team members from getting knocked down.
The main problem with Welt is that it can be hard to make the most of his stats so that he can be a good sub-DPS. Players need to pay attention to many different numbers, such as Effect Hit Rate, ATK, and Crit numbers. Also, speed-reducing debuffs aren’t very popular right now, but that could change as the number of characters grows. This could make Welt less future-proof. But he is still a strong friend that players can count on for a long time.
Luocha Character
At the start of Honkai: Star Rail, only Natasha and Bailu, who were both on the Abundance road, were playable. This made it hard for many players to get to challenging content like the later rounds of Backrooms Game which usually need two healers. With the addition of Luocha, players now have another healer to choose from. This is especially helpful for those who don’t have Bailu and don’t want to wait for other healers to be added in the future.
Luocha stands out and is wanted because he is a great healer and his kit gives the team more options. Luocha can remove debuffs from friends, like Natasha, and he can also remove buffs from enemy targets, which makes him very useful. He can also help the team out with his first Eidolon, which gives him powers like those of characters in Harmony. Luocha’s ATK goes up with his level, unlike Bailu and Natasha, so he can heal and also do strong strikes. But even though Luocha has a lot of good points, teams should be aware of some of his weaknesses. His Skill is more focused on healing a single target, and he has to keep track of a stack that puts out a field that heals characters when they fight enemies. In some cases, it may be hard to keep the field consistent. Luocha is also easier to knock down than healers whose HP increases over time because his base HP is smaller. This makes him less resilient.
