In Honkai: Star Rail, combat is an important part of the gameplay. In order to defeat your enemies faster, you will have to break through their vulnerabilities using the appropriate elements. In this guide, you can find out what it is, how this process takes place, and what you can do to make it more efficient.
Elements and vulnerabilities
In total, there are 7 elements in the game: physical, fiery, ice, electric, wind, quantum and imaginary. Each enemy has a vulnerability to one or more elements. You can get all the information you need just by looking at it. Above each monster are icons of the elements to which it has a weakness, a scale for the strength of the shield and remaining health.
The effectiveness with which you deplete the defense of the enemy will be affected by the difference in the levels of the character and the monster, the type of attacks used (normal hits, individual skills and ultimates) and the element that is being damaged. An element corresponding to the enemy's vulnerability, bring you closer to break the shield.
Special piercing effect
In the characteristics of your character, you can find such an item as "Special Penetration Effect".
This indicator does not affect the speed of breaking through the durability of your enemies. It determines how much additional damage you inflict on the monster at the same time as destroying its Shield. This stat also affects how much periodic damage your opponent will take or how long his action will be. Each element at the moment of breaking through the vulnerability deals damage of the corresponding element, and also imposes an additional effect that weakens your enemies.
