Topaz’s gameplay

The Honkai Star Rail 1.4 livestream officially showcased Topaz’s gameplay, offering more insight into how she uses Numby to deal damage to opponents. Her complete set of abilities has been outlined below:

• Skill: Summons Numby to deal Fire DMG to a target with a 100% chance to inflict Burn. The effect lingers on the enemy, and they take damage at the start of each round.
• Warp Trotter Skill: Marks an enemy to launch a special attack.
• Ultimate: On activation, Numby’s critical rate increases and deals additional Fire DMG. The trotter’s SPD also increases by 100 points.
• Talent: At the beginning of the battle, Topaz summons Numby with 90 SPD. Whenever Topaz uses her Skill to target an enemy, the creature locks on the opponent if possible or otherwise chooses a different target. On launching an attack, it deals Fire DMG and recovers 15 energy if the enemy is Burned.
• Technique: Topaz signals Numby to find Basic Treasure and Warp Trotters within a specific range. When the passive is active, she further recovers energy after the trotter’s first attack.

Unlike other Honkai Star Rail characters, Topaz’s technique is quite unique as it caters more to exploration instead of offering a basic combat advantage.
