Acheron Kit (Honkai Star Rail):

Acheron is a 5-Star Lightning character of The Nihility path. Acheron works very well with debuffers, as her damage increases when enemies have multiple debuffs applied.

  • Basic Attack: Deals Lightning damage to a single enemy.

  • Skill: Three target Blas Damage that on use gains x1 Ultimate charges and inflicts x1 “Crimson Knot” (her debuff) on a single enemy

  • Ultimate: On use attacks x4 times. Enemies can be selected manually between each attack. It also removes up to 3 stacks of “Crimson Knot” from the target, if Crimson Knot is removed, deals AoE Lightning DMG to all enemies. For every stack of Crimson Knot removed, the DMG multiplier is increased. Last and final attack deals AoE Damage and removes all Crimson Knots.

    Recommended: Always stack 9x Crimson Knots on the main Elite before using the ULT. For best burst DMG attack only the target with 9 Crimson Knots this way all x4 attacks from Ultimate will become AoE Attacks*

  • Talent (passive ability): During ULT, reduces enemies Toughness regardless of their Weakness Types and reduces all enemies All-Type RES, lasting till the end of the ULT.

    When team mates inflicts debuffs on enemies, Acheron charges her Ultimate and inflicts Crimson Knot on that enemy target. Only one charge per actions can be gained even if multiple enemies are debuffed.

    If an enemy with Crimson Knots is defeated they transfer to another enemy.

  • Technique (overworld ability):

    In Battle: Acheron obtains 1 point of Slashed Dream after she uses her ULT, and applies 1 stack of Crimson Knot on a random enemy.

  • Overworld: using technique to attack Normal enemies will instantly defeat them and skip battle with rewards gained as normal. Enemies who aren’t hit won’t consume Technique Points.

  • Bonus Trace 1: Red Oni - at the start of the fight gain x5 charges of Ultimate. For every point of ULT charge that exceeds the limit (x9) she can overflow up to x3 stacks.

  • Bonus Trace 2: Acheron deals 115% or 160% more damage when there are 1 or 2 Nihility units other than Acheron in the team.

  • Bonus Trace 3: After using her first Ultimate, Acheron DMG increases for three turns. Additionally, Acheron deals x6 extra hits on the last attack of the Ultimate.
