All Honkai Star Rail 3.4 Character Buffs
Here are all he changes affecting Silver Wolf, Kafka, Blade, and Jingliu in HSR 3.4:
Silver Wolf
| Rarity | Combat Type | Combat Path |
|---|---|---|
| 5-star | Quantum | Path of Nihility |
1. Multi-target Ultimate
After the HSR 3.4 enhancements take effect, Silver Wolf’s Ultimate will deal AoE damage to multiple enemies instead of being a single-target effect. Furthermore, the 45% DEF decrease offered by this ability will also extend to multiple enemies.
2. Skill Type Prioritization Changes
Silver Wolf’s Skill is also getting an adjustment. While previously it randomly applied Weakness onto an enemy from the type of an on-field character, it will now prioritize the Type of the first character in your lineup.
3. Increased Energy Regeneration
At the start of the battle and the beginning of each turn, Silver Wolf will now regenerate Energy for herself. This will assist in recharging her Ultimate quicker, so you can reduce the DEF of enemies faster.
Kafka
| Rarity | Combat Type | Combat Path |
|---|---|---|
| 5-star | Lightning | Path of Nihility |
1. Increased Skill DoT
The DoT (Damage over time) effect applied by Kafka’s Skill in Honkai Star Rail will increase once the version 3.4 buffs are applied. Moreover, this effect will now apply to all enemies instead of just the main target.
2. Follow-up Attack Changes
With the new character buffs active, Kafka will launch a Follow-up Attack whenever a party member performs any type of attack. Previously, this triggered only after using Basic Attacks.
3. Thorns Ability Rework
Kafka’s Thorns Bonus Ability buff will allow her to trigger extra DoT on enemies with Follow-up Attacks. Furthermore, by using her Ultimate ability, you will be able to reset the number of times she can trigger Follow-up Attacks.
Blade
| Rarity | Combat Type | Combat Path |
|---|---|---|
| 5-star | Wind | Path of Destruction |
1. Ability Scaling Changes
Under the effects of the new enhancements, instead of some abilities relying on the ATK stat, all of Blade’s abilities will scale off his maximum HP.
2. Hellscape State Buffs
Blade’s Hellscape State will increase his Aggro even more, allowing him to be targeted by incoming attacks more often. This will allow him to perform Follow-up Attacks more often.
3. Increased Energy Regeneration
With the new buffs, Blade will be able to regenerate his Energy after performing Follow-up Attacks. This can be quite helpful to use his Burst more often.
Jingliu
| Rarity | Combat Type | Combat Path |
|---|---|---|
| 5-star | Ice | Path of Destruction |
1. Ability Scaling Changes
Similar to Blade, now Jingliu’s abilities will also scale off her maximum HP instead of the ATK stat.
2. Added Buffs When Allies Lose HP
Jingliu will now be able to gain Syzygy stacks, which are essential for her Spectral Transmigration state, and Crit DMG whenever her party members’ HP depletes.
3. Extra Syzygy Stacks
Upon entering the Spectral Transmigration state, Jingliu will now gain an additional stack of Syzygy. Moreover, the number of Syzygy stacks she can have will be increased by one during this state, thus increasing the state’s duration and increasing her dealt damage.
