1. Understand the character’s Destiny
In Honkai: Star Rail, characters will not have elemental systems like Genshin Impact, but instead will have a similar new mechanism called Destiny.
– Destruction: DPS characters have the ability to survive
– Hunting: Single-target Nuker character
– Knowledge: Multi-target DPS character
– Harmony: Support character buffs teammates
– Void: Support character debuffs enemies
– Protection: Defensive character tanks for teammates
– Tru Phu: Character heals and dispels status effects
In addition to playing the role of setting missions for players in combat, players can also collect materials based on Destiny.

There are five basic skill types in Honkai: Star Rail.
– Basic Attack: Use unconditionally and will restore one skill point.
– Battle Skills: Has additional effects and better damage, but requires one skill point.
– Great Skill: Requires enough energy to cast and can be used outside of the character’s turn.
– Thien Phu: Passive ability will automatically activate during battle.
– Secret Skill: Can only be used outside of battle
Unlike Genshin Impact, where passives are automatically unlocked when the character breaks through, in Honkai: Star Rail, players must gradually unlock them through the Trace system.

Secret Skills are skills that can only be used in the open world, players can use them to attack before entering battle.
7. Destroy and examine everything on the map
In the open world, there are many objects that gamers can break.
However, in Simulated Universe game mode, things are a little different.
Besides, new players should explore the world as much as possible.
