Honkai Star Rail Effect Hit Rate, Explained

Honkai: Star Rail’s combat system appears simple at first glance, but newcomers often struggle against common foes. The turn-based mechanics demand meticulous attention to each character’s stats and strategic optimization for effective combat—an endeavor that not everyone finds easy. Hence, let’s delve into some key concepts to provide clarity.

What is Effect Hit Rate in Honkai Star Rail?

Effect Hit Rate stands as a vital statistic that enhances a character’s ability to inflict debuffs on adversaries. In Honkai: Star Rail, “debuffs” extend beyond mere stat alterations to encompass status effects like Freeze, Shock, and Imprisonment. To gauge this attribute, navigate to Details and access More Stats.

Typically, most skills possess a modest base chance of inflicting debuffs. Elevating the caster’s Effect Hit Rate amplifies the likelihood of successfully imposing debuffs on enemies.

Effect Hit Rate holds particular significance for characters following the Nihility Path, such as Pela and Welt. For instance, Welt exhibits a base 65% chance of diminishing the enemy’s SPD with his Skill. Equipping Light Cones and Relics that bolster Effect Hit Rate substantially augments Welt’s probability of reducing the enemy’s SPD.

However, achieving a 100% Effect Hit Rate doesn’t guarantee a 100% debuff success rate. It’s imperative to consider that enemies possess innate Effect RES against specific Elements and debuffs, diminishing the effectiveness of the character’s Effect Hit Rate. At Trailblazer Level 60, an additional Effect Hit Rate of 67% becomes necessary to ensure that a skill labeled with a “100% base chance” effectively lands.

How to increase Effect Hit Rate in Honkai Star Rail

Despite the intricacies, it’s feasible to surpass the 100% threshold to heighten debuff probabilities using Relics (with Effect Hit Rate as the primary stat) and Planar Ornaments.

Additionally, here are some Light Cones that contribute to bolstering this statistic:

  • In the Name of the World (five-star, Nihility): Amplifies wearer’s DMG to debuffed enemies and boosts Effect Hit Rate upon Skill usage.
  • Moment of Victory (five-star, Preservation): Enhances wearer’s DEF and Effect Hit Rate, among other benefits.
  • Eyes of the Prey (four-star, Nihility): Augments wearer’s Effect Hit Rate and status effect damage.
  • Void (three-star, Nihility): Initiates battles with a temporary boost to Effect Hit Rate.

Understanding and optimizing Effect Hit Rate is essential for mastering combat dynamics in Honkai: Star Rail.
