Why Your Build Does Low Damage | Honkai Star Rail
Ойындар
Going into fundamentals of HSR end-game, we tackle how builds and the different ways on how losing upgrades through "budgets" can severely cut your power level.
This video will show how each downgrade can result in a specific damage loss and how it applies to every other unit. With the power of math, we can assess how much DMG we lose by combining these upgrades, and the results are surprising.

* POST EDIT NOTES/CORRECTIONS * 1. I meant to say Clara for a 5% difference between F2P and Signature, Boothill's LC is a huge increase for him. 2. There are overall 41 available crit rolls you can go (including initial double CRIT). It is almost impossible to reach this, if you have only one CRIT sub that rolled 5 times on each piece it's 35. The 24 substats is a relatively realistic build due to resulting in a balanced 60/130 crit build or 70/110 without any crit traces. More info for substats here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/kaN2w5SKctKqm7w.html 3. Again, I can't stress enough that there is no way for me to recommend to you accurately on how to spend your fuel with this info. The math gets extremely complicated that I can't give you a straight answer (for now). However I made a video recommending websites for damage optimization/qol and research that is extremely helpful if you don't want to think about your builds.

Finally, someone who addresses the real issues without sugarcoating. I generally don't need such advice, but will be subbing because having another math-inclined person to fall back on is nice. By the way, are you considering doing rotation comparisons and other more practical TC stuff? I am not seeing anyone doing it on YT, so the niche is open. I would do it myself if I had motivation and a decent PC (Didn't watch other vids yet, so I don't know if you're already doing it, just a friendly pointer you might consider interesting)

First, when grinding relics you at least won't get broke every 10 minutes. I leveled Boothill's Talent and Skill to 10 a few days ago and ended up being *completely* broke (had 100 credits left). To anyone saying credits is non issue, fudge you, respectfully. Even battlepass wasn't enough. Also if your relics are horrendous, no matter how much you level up traces they won't do shit because, surprise surprise, traces scale off stats you increase with relics, and 200% of zero is still zero. Third thing is that a lot of ppl are from genshin and there leveling up to 10 is a very serious investment that ppl do only if they are really dedicated to that character (same with leveling character to max level). Level 8 is usually a good stopping point there.

I asked AI Ratio what he thought of it, and this is what he said "Of course I would think them foolish, or rather, pitiful. If they couldn’t even use me correctly, then what was even the point? Besides, it’s not hard to build me. I’m a simple character, with simple needs. Any idiot could do it. I’d be completely and utterly baffled at how someone could manage to mess something so simple up." Then I asked him again what he would say to the person with a terrible build, and he said “Are you really so dim-witted that you can’t even follow simple instructions? No, don’t answer that - you clearly cannot. I am amazed you even managed to level me up to this degree without utterly botching it up. How can one be so incredibly incompetent?”

I'm not saying it isn't good, but it is entirely unnecessary when other things impact his performance more. There will be a future BE LC for Hunt so the only reason anyone should go for it is if they're going to stick to him for a long period of time as it has no real use on any other Hunt character except for Sushang, which again eventually there will be a BE 4* LC. Acting as if Adversarial isn't good because "it's a 3*" is a good meme, because the base stats do not matter at all for anything and Spd is the next best stat you can get for him. He deletes things while running HP/Spd/HP/BE main stats and no LC, I don't think it's a big deal that it requires him to kill something first to get the buff. Would it be great if there was a 4* BE alternative? Obviously, but not for him, mainly for Sushang in SB teams. Boothill is perfectly content with running lvl 1 3* Spd LC lol

For me, I always Lvl up any characters to 60, then Lvl up all Traces that you can get. Then after that farming to leveling LC and get average relics build. If I love a characters then I would start to Lvl up them to 80, and maxing their traces after that, next maxing their LC, and then finally relics. I'm F2P, I have all 4* characters, and all my characters now sit at Lvl 80 with most traces in a mac state on lvl 60 (probably 4/6/6??) The one that got to 10/10/10 till now only Seele, Jingliu, Kafka, and Acheron. IMO, leveling all characters to 80 isn't bad, just don't max their traces, cause it's good for permanent content. But trying to build all characters you have to max lvl max traces and minmaxing relics is not a good thing. Probably best to build a good average team of 8 characters Most of my lvl 80 4* characters doesn't have any relics equipped or LC.

Very useful video! Great format and explanations, for me personally, I've been doing most of these already (but my relic luck still sucks so it isn't doing as much if I got better relics) and about the sig lightcones, I do admit that getting personal LC are a big damage boosts especially for dps units, but its just not my style, I like playing for the characters and getting them everything else exept their sig LC, (Although I am still waiting for reruns of Dr. Ratio, Blackswan, Jingyuan (LC for qingque) just for the LC because I like them a lot)

Very nice guide. I'm a new player, and most of my damage loss was coming from not unlocking traces. It's gonna be long-winded, but I'm gonna level everyone I have up first and then grind for good relics.
Good video, the conclusion is exactly the right one. The idea of building a character is to slowly but surely push all the improvement slots to the maximum. Some people argue it's problematic to max out all traces, but I don't think they're seeing the issue in their argument. We're talking about reaching a character's ceiling, a gradual increase in every variable the character offers and not maxing out one variable and leaving the rest in a corner-which may not be in your interest depending on whether you care more about horizontal or vertical investment.
ooooh so that's why I saw a dmg increase when i switched to pioneer set. Very useful info XD. Its good to know that even if no signature lightcone is a loss, it's not as bad as underleveled traces. Does anyone happen to know if Topaz's lc is better on ratio though?

This explains a lot. Even in genshin, I keep some characters at lvl 70, and forget about traces a lot.

how much damage loss if my dr ratio is using wastelander set rather than pioneer set? my dr ratio is currently at 70/210 on wastelander and I feel like its gonna take a _looooooong_ time before I could get the same stats when I switch to pioneer so I'm hesitant to even try.

It really depends on the character I suppose. On most characters, you can get away with 8/8/8 traces. For 4 stars specifically, it's better to have them at level 10 (eidolon helps to achieve this). The question is more often than not becomes: "Do you need higher level than 8 in this trace?". This is an important thing to consider because trace from lv7-10 gives out more power increase (about 25% more) than from lv1-6. More often than not, a non-ultimate trace becomes 2x more effective at lv10 compared to lv1, the increase from level 7-10 is 12.5% of lv10 compared to 10% of level 1-6. Therefore, levelling up your Trace from level 8 (175% of lv1) to 10 (200% of lv1) gives you around ~14% more power. However, the costs of levelling up the trace becomes consierably high for level 9 and moreso at 10. Therefore, the trace you should level 10 is the trace that gives out the the most return. On Clara and Dr. Ratio, levelling up the Talent is definitely the higher priority, and on Acheron her ultimate. You also need to consider how much impactful the trace is to the character. A DEF trace passive for a DPS character might not be the best investment, so you can get away not levelling it up.

@masterplusmargarita
Ай бұрын
The base substat counts as a roll. An initially 5-line 5-star relic with 5 increases to flat HP that has both crit damage and crit rate would count as having 2 crit subs.
I aim for 5-cycle investment in order to start working on a different character as early as possible and have variety, so I can give some advice on efficient "corner-cutting". Never skip max level, it's not hard to get and every formula for damage dealt and taken includes level difference between attacker and target. Get a usable relic set and traces to level 8, the clear most valuable damage source from the character you can put at 9 or 10, same goes for supports (4 stars can usually stay at 8 because the eidolons push it to 10). Wait until the double drop events to go any further on traces, they're common enough. Spend everything else on the relics you want to improve, because you can get useful pieces for other characters in the process too. Relics are a game of numbers, the less power you invest on it the luckier you'll have to get. Lightcones are relatively cheap and should be maxed too because lower base stats will diminish the percentage you gain from relics, but they can stay at 70 if absolutely necessary. Consider what free options you already have access to when it comes to pulling for signature lightcones, as well as the 4 star cones on the banner. Never go for eidolons unless you're paying for it, they're just luxury and some will remove gameplay aspects, don't give in to peer pressure inside the community. This should only be disregarded if you don't care about the future and really like the character, otherwise it's a mistake. With these pointers any account should be ready for whatever the devs throw at it.
My build priority for pretty much every characrer is: Level (A5 or A6) > LC (lvl 70 or 80) ≥ Traces (at least lvl 8 for necessary traces) >> Relics & Ornaments. The only change I'd make is farming a temporary set (main stats only) they can use if I really want to use them immediately. This is a style of building I've adopted from playing Genshin, and it's always worked out for me.
The only corner cut I do are signature weapon and relic substat...
I typically level 1 or two traces to level 10 (depends on what is important in their kit) and the rest to 8 (and 1 on basic), but im also just a trace fanatic so i might spent a little too much time in the trace mines 😅

100crit rate to 200crit damage (with self buffs) is the ultimate goal, so 85/170, is a pretty good Dr Ratio
So should i finish/max my first team first??? Before building next team?
@waveman047

building both at the same time isnt a bad idea, the number of characters matter more. 8-10 focused characters that mesh well is usually good enough to not be spread thin in resources, that depends on how universal a team is though.

That’s what I did. I maxed a team. Then every so often I started working on another character. Now I have options.
Great explanation of the numbers at play here, but I feel like you just spent 11 minutes saying a completely built character with excellent gear will do more damage than one who isn’t.

Yeah, bit of a pointless video imo. Plus, "low damage" is always variable. If my JL hits for 350k I'll think she's dealing YUGE damage, but if my Acheron deals 500k I'll think her damage is pretty low. Overall thought there was gonna be some interesting theorycrafting on this video but left a bit disappointed.
i feel so bad that im a day 1 hsr player but i still cant clear moc 12 even though i have thousands of power into my relics thanks man
Thanks. It's really frustrated me that my dot team deal more damage than my ratio team.
Now do this with acheron, since there's so many thing we could talk about with 2 debuffer, especially without the light cones. The -1 ult energy passive thing (idk what to call them) is so much loss of damage, like maybe a 1 or 2 turn of ult rotation.
The traces thing is too true. My Jingliu was always my hardest hitter, even without a premium team like my other ones. Now I realize it's because she's my only unit with pretty much maxed traces. I think my biggest hurdle is just how tedious farming trace mats is. Going through 6 battles for not even one level at higher trace levels is boredom inducing. I think that's the main reason people neglect their trace levels, and getting stuff to level characters up to 80 is even worse.
Seeing a few comments about traces so I just wanna let people know about Star Rail Station. This can help you see what mats you need to fully build a character and help you plan out what to do daily for your characters. It may seem overwhelming at first but once you realize things like: the fact that you can fully ascend a 5 star character to level 80 in 2 days (as long as you have the exp mats) then it's not so bad. I think this is the one thing that helped me fully max out my characters (not that you have to), so if you're overwhelmed give it a try!
Thank you 🙌 My Doctor does horrible damage, but I really want him to stay on my team
I wonder sometimes about the impact +12 relics lose versus +15 relics

IMO you should always go for the safe investment, which is traces and levels, and relics should be the last thing, bcs the first are guaranteed while you can use all that TB power and get absolutely nothing good if you farm relics
I’m level 45 and I’m stuck in the luofu. All my characters(Clara,Herta,Bronya,and Bailu) are all level 60,mostly 6 talents(Herta is e3) and level 50 lightcones. What should I do to get my characters stronger, so I can defeat enemies in the luofu? Not sure what I’m doing wrong 😑

Level your traces only so far as it's efficient, that is 8/8/8 + actually relevant bonus stats. Then go all in on relics Once you have a decent set, then if your main teams are all built, continue to lvl 10... But honestly on most characters, even with godly relic set, the diff between lvl 8 and lvl 10 traces was nearly undistinguishable for me. Edit: though there were exceptions where I feel like it actually mattered.
How come your lowest da,age possible is like 300k when my highest damage never reaches 6 digits? I don't understand these numbers.

Time to go max my supports i guess, just been doing 8
Welt, time to level up my Ratio traces
2:28 honestly, it is Had to build a couple of new characters recently and was scraping everything for every last droplet of lc exp the whole time, as many events don't give it, dailies don't give it, and stamina I'd rather use on farming traces materials The game is way less generous with it than with characters exp for some reason Genshin has it so much better with weapon exp being craftable
I only have one signature light cone and it's Acheron's. I've had almost ZERO luck with light cones so I'm pretty much never going to meet my characters' max potential. And I don't have money to roll eidolons so all of my 5-star characters are going to lose those bonuses.
I wonder how much dmg I lose by not leveling the basic attack
Think there's 20/80 rule application relevant here, like you are much better off unlocking all the passive traces as well as getting everything (unless something like attack is completely irrelevant as healer for example) to 8/10 ranks, getting +75 on character, +70 on lightcone and then starting to gamble for those relics. Sadly when it comes to relics my luck is godawful and I never reach the perfect builds that guide sites like Prydwen talk about :( so most times even though I am content-ish with my damage dealers, I always feel slightly underwhelmed by not reaching the PEAK that you can see in most youtube videos even without eidolons. Very good video though. I just came back to HSR after months because of ZZZ (sigh) and while I can still clear content respectably decent, knowing that my old go-to supports like Tingyun/Bronya are basically superseded by absolute powerhouses like Ruan Mei and Robin is a bit sad haha.
Conclusion. Level up your traces scrubs.

this is phenomenal. i never realized the impact that all these changes could make. i'd love to see this kind of video for the character variations that you mentioned (e.g. characters without a lot of self buffs, break characters) to put those in perspective too or even supports (same dps build, support build changes), but i understand if those would take too much time or effort. amazing video!
Personally, for traces, I keep my characters at Lv.8 traces since I started playing in 1.2. These days, I have enough resources to level their most important traces to max to give them a little bit more power. I can even max out some characters' traces but I won't, IMO max traces just isn't worth the cost when I can clear content decently well even with Lv.8 traces. Maybe if you're a mid to endgame player, I can suggest maxing out traces if you're having a hard time beating MoC or Swarm Disaster but for newbies, I definitely suggest keeping them at Lv.8 for the time being. Lv.9 & Lv.10 traces costs more than it took to get Lv.1-Lv.8 so you're better off spending those resources on other traces and characters.
You say that but traces especially level 10 are very expensive and for new players at least for me farming relics gave me a huge damage boost compared to upgrading traces.

this is the reason why its under research as of now and why i explicately said i cant give you efficiency advice with this data. it is reasonable to assume that 10 crit substats is about as expensive as maxed traces, but the relics are not guaranteed and anybody can reasonably say that theyve also wasted multiple fuel they could have maxed traces 5 characters with for a measly unguaranteed 10 substats. personally i go with feelscrafting and stick to 8/8/8 and get bottom line relics (70/130) ratio before maxing traces again, but in cold hard evidence its still being mathed out atm.

@waveman047 that's what I meant yeah. I didn't mean getting perfect relics which could take months or even more. Imo getting to 8 on traces then going for relics to at least get the 60/120 then go to the next character, After I finish my two teams then I'll go back to traces. I'm f2p and thus is what I'm doing. Btw can you explain to me how to get those crazy amount of break effects on characters like ruan mei(180) or hmc (200+) without using a break effect rope cause er is necessary for these ch1racters from what I understand.

It really depends on the character and it's definitely more pronounced on some characters than others- anecdotally it feels like most of the premium Destruction characters kinda hurt for options that actually jive with how they work outside of their signature LC's moreso than Harmony, Hunt, Abundance, etc; but then you look at the standard 5-star Destruction, Clara, who doesn't see a huge spike between her S1 and the S5 F2P one from the Herta store. Boothill definitely is easier to build and more comfortable to use with his signature but that's more because his kit is a brand new, ie still unique, damage gimmick- time will add more options for someone like him now that "repeated break damage procs" is a new dps format, but for now, yeah, he has a pretty big spike up in performance from his S1
I hate farming crit stats. I've farmed the Pioneer relic set for like four months straight since it released, levelled 5 different sets of double crit stat pieces, and in the end I was only able to get my Acheron an acceptable crit ratio of about 70/160 (including the crit damage from her signature light cone and traces). I gave the extra sets to other characters, and they only landed at like 60/90 ratios. Fucking miserable. It took me like a month of relic farming to gear up three of my DoT characters with relics that have almost no room for improvement. Any character that needs to crit needs too many substats. I don't think I'll farm crit stats again for any character after Acheron. Hopefully break teams will be fine without it. In Genshin I've never gotten any character to anything better than a 60/120 crit ratio. I just don't have the fortitude to spend the amount of time others do on farming that stat.

My DPS units have all relevant traces on 10, while my support units have them on 8, and ALL of them have all the stat traces. The reason why I don't put my support traces on 10 is simple: NOT ENOUGH BALLS! From my calculations, I would need 32 balls to get all my supports' relevant traces to 10, and thats not even counting my sustain units! I "only" have 26 balls btw, and I still have to build my Welt and Ratio, and Firefly is right around the corner. So... yeah. Where are my balls Hoyo??
