One thing to note is that all of Gallagher's healing is flat, meaning they do not scale with any stats and can only be affected by increases to Outgoing Healing . While that may sound like a downside, this allows him to invest heavily in other stats like Break Effect , which happens to affect Outgoing Healing through his A2 Major Tr

Unlike Blade , Arlan lacks a consistent way to keep himself alive. Even if that weren't the case, Arlan prefers not to be healed, as it results in damage loss and requires extra turns to ramp back up without enemy interference. To make matters worse, Arlan has one of the lowest base DEF in the game, a stat he desperately needs instead of the high base HP and HP Tra

After the Enhanced Basic ATK's "Rising Uppercut" hits a Bleeding enemy target, the Bleed status will immediately deal DMG 1 time equal to 8% of the original DMG for every hit of Direct Punch already unleashed during the current Enhanced Basic

Once the boss fell, Trailblazers can claim the Planar Ornament reward using their Trailblaze Power without having to redo the entire Simulated Universe run. So basically, instead of playing SU run every time, players simply need to beat the final boss to get the rewa

One of the most important changes is the existence of the Workbench of Creation . Unlike in Simulated Universe where you can only upgrade your Blessing before the final boss (by speaking to Herta), in Divergent Universe, you can do your upgrade each time you see a Workbench of Creat

Lastly, head back to the location where you last saw the Shrine Maiden. Here, you'll find out the next item you will have to find for the third round, which will be a 'Hagoita.' When the cutscene ends, the quest will finally wrap

Jade's signature Light Cone, Yet Hope Is Priceless , is her best-in-slot and will provide the most advantage to her, as long as players are able to stack at least 200% Crit DMG on her, which is not too difficult, especially in longer battles. However, many 5-star and 4-star Light Cone options are not far behind, with the second-best option being Himeko's Light Cone , Night on the Milky Way , which is quite solid, especially in Pure Fiction. For players who purchase the Battle Pass, a fully refined T oday Is Another Peaceful Day will be the best 4-star option, even surpassing another follow-up attack-oriented Light Cone, Before Dawn , which is more specific to Jing Yuan . Additionally, while all these Light Cones can be considered a heavy investment, players also have access to a 5-star F2P Light Cone from Herta's store, Eternal Calculus , as the best F2P option which will perform at a similar rate to Before Dawn as w

Taking everything into account, players should generally aim for a Crit Rate or Crit DMG Body piece, depending on whether they have managed to build sufficient Crit Rate through other means such as sub-stats. For the Feet piece, ATK is ideal, while the Planar Sphere should focus on Quantum DMG, and the Link Rope should prioritize ATK. Alternatively, players can opt for Speed on the Feet piece or Energy Regeneration on the Link Rope if they prefer. The sub-stats should also align with the general build, emphasizing Crit Rate, Crit DMG, ATK and Speed to optimize Jade's performa

Jade is designed similarly to standard DPS characters, prioritizing Crit Rate, Crit DMG, Speed and ATK, to maximize her effectiveness. Despite this, players can build her efficiently without overly focusing on Crit DMG since her Talent allows her to stack it naturally. Instead, maintaining a balanced distribution of the other stats is key to optimizing her performa

Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge is made for Firefly in Honkai: Star Rail . No character can scale with this Set better than Firefly since her entire kit revolves around Break and Super Break DMG. While she can trigger Super Break DMG on her own, she still needs Imaginary MC to greatly improve her Super Break DMG and make the most of Iron Cavalry Against the Scou

Xueyi is a Destruction unit in Honkai: Star Rail that relies on Break Effect to deal DMG. That immediately makes Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge Set an amazing Relic choice for her. With her ability to ignore enemies’ Toughness with her Ultimate and Follow-up attacks, Xueyi can quickly break enemies’ Toughness and start ignoring their DEF, taking full advantage of the Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge

The first 10% Break DMG penetration is easy to get. You simply must make sure the character who equips this Set must have a 150% Break Effect or higher. However, Ratu Spiral abyss the second part where your character gets to ignore 15% of enemies' DEF is harder to get since they must have the Super Break DMG term in their kit, or you must include Imaginary MC in the equipping unit’s t

When it comes to Light Cones, Jade can effectively utilize various Erudition Light Cones that enhance her damage or focus on critical stats. If players intend to use her as a sub-DPS rather than a main carry, the necessity of her signature Light Cone diminishes, though it remains a valuable choice for those who have extra resources to inv
