The Thief of Shooting Meteor set has been tweaked as per recent Honkai Star Rail leaks

Thief set effect changed byu/Abject_Reference2574 inHonkaiStarRail_leaks

As mentioned in the Reddit post by user u/Abject_Reference2574, the Thief of Shooting Meteor set has been adjusted in the latest Honkai Star Rail beta build.

The updated description of the set is as follows:

• 2-pc Effect: Boosts Break Effect to 16%.
• 4-pc Effect: The wearer’s own Break Effect is boosted by 16%. Any character generating a Weakness Break on the enemy will generate 3 Energy for the wearer of this set.

This change is rather significant, as it allows any character to regenerate 3 Energy for the wearer of the Thief set. This set originally generated an additional 3 Energy only if the wearer caused the Weakness Break.

Despite the “small” change, the rework is rather massive, as it should open up the door for more break-focused strategies in the future. While the usage of this particular set is still admittedly niche, HoYoverse could very well release future enemies/bosses that require faster rotations with multiple Weakness Breaks in between.

This change may finally bring the Thief set into the limelight and make it useful outside of being fodder.

Keep in mind that the information above is supplied by third parties unaffiliated with developer HoYoverse. As such, these leaks are to be taken with a grain of salt since they can be altered at any time.
