Elements are a key to beating strong enemies in Honkai Star Rail and this guide will tell you all about them.
Honkai Star Rail has seven elements and each has a different type of damage for attacks. Different enemies are weak against approx three different elements. So if you can pick the right element to attack against the enemy you can beat them easily. Honkai Star Rail Elements serve a major role in this turn-based combat game. Learning what are elements and how to use them against certain enemies will give you an edge against them. So to help you out, we will mention all you need to know about the elemental system.
In Honkai Star Rail, there are seven elements in total i.e. Physical, Fire, Ice, Lightning, Wind, Quantum, and Imaginary. Similar to Genshin Impact, each character is associated with a certain element. These elements determine which character is strong or weak against certain types of elemental attacks in Honkai Star Rail.
However, the characters will not take direct damage right away. They have a Toughness bar along with the standard HP bar. To deal damage and defeat the enemies, you must first deplete the Toughness bar. Now, certain attacks will deplete the bar faster against certain characters. Once you deplete it, the elements will inflict a status effect with DoT (Damage over Time).
After breaking the Toughness bar, the elements will inflict the following status effects:
