Huohuo’s abilities in Honkai Star Rail
Huohuo's kit revolves around providing buffs, healing, and cleansing her team members. Below is a list of her abilities in Honkai Star Rail version 1.5:
- Basic ATK: Unleashes an attack on an enemy dealing wind damage.
- Skill: Cleanses a teammate and immediately restores their HP while healing adjacent allies for a little amount.
- Ultimate: Increases all allies' ATK stat for two turns and regenerates their Energy.
- Talent: Huohuo gains Divine Provision after activating her skill. When an ally uses their ultimate or begins their turn while Huohuo has Divine Provision, that ally gets healed, and all allies with 50% HP or below will also get healed once. Divine Provision lasts for two turns.
- Technique: Inflicts Horror-Struck on enemies; the enemies affected by this state will flee from Huohuo for 10 seconds. When entering battle with enemies influenced by Horror-Struck, their ATK will be reduced by 25% for two turns.
Why you should skip Huohuo in Honkai Star Rail version 1.5
As mentioned, Huohuo is a Path of Abundance unit specializing in three fields. While she can regenerate Energy for her allies, Tingyun, a four-star character, does it better.
Moreover, in the updates lined up, characters like Ruan Mei, Dr. Ratio, and Xueyi are set to release with an exceptional kit. While Huohuo can be valuable for specific teams, these upcoming characters are more powerful and can fit in various team compositions.
Ruan Mei's kit in 1.6 is unique as it can increase her teammate's Weakness Breaks, efficiency, and duration. Dr. Ratio has a follow-up attack play style similar to Topaz and Numby, and he can inflict SPD-oriented debuffs on his opponents.
Therefore, players should save their precious Stellar Jades and wait for Honkai Star Rail version 1.6's release.
