In the vast starry expanse of Houkai: Star Rail, a figure is about to step onto the stage. His name is Archer, a hunter carrying the light of ideals, who will make his debut in version 3.4. His story is a poem about stars and pursuit. On this vast railway, we will explore the legend of this newcomer.
He is a quantum-attribute hunter with a five-star rarity, shining as brilliantly as the brightest star in the sky. His exclusive Licht Arrow, named “The Hell Where Ideals Burn”, serves both as his weapon and the symbol of his ideals. This Licht Arrow boasts 952.6 HP, 582.12 ATK, and 529.20 DEF. Like a double-edged sword, it not only increases the user’s critical hit rate by 16% but also enhances ATK by 40% when the combat points reach a certain condition. Each skill cast further increases ATK by 10%, with a maximum of four stacks, resembling an ever-intensifying fire of ideals.
His attack style is reminiscent of ancient myths, named “Gan Jiang • Mo Ye”. This legendary pair of swords deals 100% ATK quantum damage to enemies, leaving scars that cannot be healed.
When he unleashes his skill “Pseudo • Spiral Blade”, the battlefield enters a special “Circuit Connection” state. During this state, his damage output reaches 400% ATK. Each skill cast further increases damage by 100%, with a maximum of two stacks, until he exits this state. The state lasts until he casts five skills or runs out of combat points. Each wave’s conclusion brings an end or a new beginning.
His ultimate skill, “Infinite Blade Formation”, wields the power to annihilate countless enemies with a single strike. It deals 1200% ATK damage and immediately restores 2 charges, with a maximum of 4 charges. This power is like endless sword shadows weaving through enemy ranks.
His talent, “Minds Eye (True)”, allows him to immediately follow up with an additional attack after an ally’s attack, dealing 240% ATK damage and restoring 1 combat point. This intuitive foresight lets him stay one step ahead of enemies on the battlefield.
His secret technique, “Clairvoyance”, reveals his profound insight into enemies. It immediately attacks enemies and, upon entering combat, deals 200% ATK damage to all enemies while gaining 1 charge. This ability keeps him in control on the battlefield.
His additional abilities include “Guardian”, which increases critical damage by 60% for one turn when combat points reach 4; “Justice Partner”, which grants 1 charge upon entering combat; and “Projection Magic”, which increases the maximum combat points by 1. These abilities define his uniqueness as a hunter.
His attribute bonuses include 22.4% quantum damage, 18.0% HP, and 6.7% critical hit rate. These stats form the foundation of his strength as a powerful hunter.
His Star Souls, like six wishes in his heart, are:
“Untouched Ideals”: After casting three skills in a single turn, the next skill does not consume combat points.
“Unfulfilled Happiness”: Increases ultimate skill damage by 120%.
