The arrival of the Harmony Trailblazer in Honkai: Star Rail is eagerly awaited, but the exact date remains under wraps. Here’s what we know so far about this exciting new character, their abilities, and upgrade materials.
When to Expect the Trailblazer in Honkai: Star Rail
While official confirmation is pending, all signs point towards the Trailblazer’s grand entrance in Honkai: Star Rail’s update 2.2, scheduled for early May 2024. Following the usual pattern, the Trailblazer will likely be featured prominently and become playable upon update release, assuming players complete the main quest and any prerequisites.
Abilities
The Trailblazer brings a unique skillset to the table, specializing in boosting Break Effect and dealing Imaginary damage. Here’s a closer look:
- Basic Attack: Deals Imaginary damage equal to 50% of the Trailblazer’s attack to a single enemy.
- Skill: Deals Imaginary damage in two parts: 25% of the Trailblazer’s attack to a single enemy, followed by four additional random attacks, each dealing another 25% of the Trailblazer’s attack.
- Ultimate: Grants a powerful “Backup Dancer” effect to all allies for three turns. This effect increases Break Effect by 15% and converts Toughness-Reducing Damage into Super Break Damage once when attacking enemies in the Weakness Broken state. The duration of Backup Dancer decreases by one turn at the start of each of the Trailblazer’s turns.
- Talent: Regenerates five points of Energy whenever an enemy’s Weakness is Broken.
- Technique: At the start of the next battle, all allies receive a 30% Break Effect increase for two turns.
Eidolons
- Eidolon 1: Recovers 1 Skill Point after the first use of the Skill in a battle.
- Eidolon 2: Boosts the Trailblazer’s Energy Regeneration Rate by 25% for 3 turns at the battle’s start.
- Eidolon 3: Increases Skill and Talent levels by 2, capped at level 15 for each.
- Eidolon 4: Enhances Break Effect for all allies (except the Trailblazer) by 15% of the Trailblazer’s own Break Effect.
- Eidolon 5: Increases Ultimate level by 2, capped at level 15, and Basic ATK level by 1, capped at level 10.
- Eidolon 6: Adds 2 additional hits to the Skill’s extra damage.
