Let’s delve into the details of Kafka’s abilities, the enigmatic light cone she wields, and the mystical eidolons that accompany her in the world of Honkai Star Rail. Kafka: The Long-Awaited Lightning Storm in Honkai Star Rail 1.2.

Kafka’s Luminous Power: Unraveling the Light Cone

At the heart of Kafka’s arsenal lies her signature light cone, aptly named “Patience is All You Need.” This remarkable weapon can be acquired from the weapon Warp banner, specifically when Kafka becomes available in patch 1.2.

The weapon’s effect, at Superimposition 1, grants the wearer a 16% increase in damage dealt to enemies afflicted with Damage over Time (DoT). With each attack, the wearer’s speed (SPD) increases by 4% up to a maximum of 5 times. Simultaneously, enemies on the receiving end of attacks suffer 20% more DoT for one turn.

Unleashing Lightning Fury: Kafka’s Abilities Revealed

Kafka’s mastery of Lightning damage is truly a force to be reckoned with. Here’s a breakdown of her formidable abilities:

  • Basic Attack: Striking like a bolt of lightning, Kafka’s basic attack inflicts Lightning damage equal to 50% of her ATK on a single enemy.
  • Skill: Unleashing her power, Kafka deals Lightning damage equal to 70% of her ATK to a primary target, while simultaneously striking any adjacent enemies with Lightning damage equal to 25% of her ATK. If the main target is already under the effect of DoT, Kafka’s skill amplifies the damage by immediately applying damage equal to 100% of the DoT DMG Multiplier.
  • Ultimate: Unleashing a cataclysmic storm, Kafka’s ultimate ability inflicts Lightning damage equal to 36% of her ATK on all enemies. Those caught in the tempest have a 100% chance of being Shocked, taking immediate damage equal to 80% of the original damage received. The electrifying Shock effect lasts for 3 turns, during which time the affected enemies suffer Lightning DoT equal to 60% of Kafka’s ATK at the start of each turn.
  • Talent: Kafka’s extraordinary talent comes to light when an ally lands a basic attack on a Shocked enemy. In response, Kafka channels her power to deal Lightning damage equal to 75% of her ATK to the enemy. This potent effect can only be triggered once per turn.
  • Technique: When initiating combat with a Technique, Kafka delivers a surge of Lightning damage equal to 50% of her ATK to a random enemy. Moreover, there is a 100% chance that all enemies will be Shocked for 3 turns. While under the electrifying influence of Shock, enemies sustain Lightning DoT equal to 50% of Kafka’s ATK at the start of each turn.

Kafka’s Enigmatic Traces: Unveiling Her True Potential

Kafka’s journey in Honkai Star Rail unveils three remarkable traces, each offering unique enhancements to her already formidable abilities:

  • Trace 1: When Kafka employs her basic attack against a Shocked enemy, the enemy is immediately dealt damage equal to 40% of Kafka’s ATK.
  • Trace 2: Should an enemy meet its demise while in a state of Shock, Kafka harnesses the released energy, regenerating 10 Energy for herself.
  • Trace 3: Shocked enemies find their strength diminished, dealing 20% less damage to Kafka.

Kafka’s Eidolons: Embracing the Essence of Power

  • Level 1: Every time Kafka is attacked, there is a 100% base chance of inflicting Shock upon the attacker. This effect mirrors the Shock state induced by Kafka’s ultimate ability.
  • Level 2: Kafka’s extraordinary talent gains the ability to trigger twice per turn, further enhancing her devastating potential.
  • Level 3: With each level increase, Kafka’s skill gains two additional levels, reaching a maximum level of 15. Furthermore, her basic attack rises by one level, reaching a maximum level of 10.
  • Level 4: Kafka’s ultimate ability receives an enhancement. Instead of enemies immediately suffering damage from the Shock state, they now bear the brunt of all currently active DoT sources.
  • Level 5: Kafka’s ultimate ability and talent gain two additional levels, reaching a maximum level of 15. This empowers her to wield even greater devastation on the battlefield.
  • Level 6: The first time Kafka’s talent is triggered in battle, the damage dealt escalates by a staggering 120%. Simultaneously, enemies immediately suffer damage from Shock equal to 100% of the original DoT DMG Multiplier.
