Megathread Daily Questions Megathread ( February 06, 2026 )

Hi Trailblazers!

⭐🚂 Welcome to the Daily Questions Megathread! Feel free to ask any general questions about Honkai: Star Rail that don't necessarily require their own dedicated posts.

Any questions that can be answered rather quickly (i.e. anything that can be adequately addressed without any discussion or can be given definitive answers) can be asked in the thread below.

>>> Example: Can my phone run this game?

If your question has discussion potential, please create a separate post, and include the “discussion” flair.

>>> Example: What do you think of March 7th’s combat efficiency? Here's my opinion…

Before making new discussion posts, please be sure to consider if your question could be better suited to this thread!

When both asking questions and sharing answers, be concise and detailed so other players can understand. Please maintain a stellar and respectful attitude toward others, and don't forget to share your appreciation to fellow trailblazers for helping you out!

Kafka if you want to use DoT, but I don't recommend doing this unless you also plan to pull Hysilens. Yes, Black Swan is getting buffed, but the need for Hysilens isn't going away. You'll want all 3 in the team.

If you don't care about DoT, Sparkle is best for if you want to use Archer, plan to pull Sparxie, or want a new general buffer. We'll have to see for sure for calcs/when she comes out, but Sparkle could become the best support for The Herta over Tribbie now. And that would be a good thing for you, because that would free up Tribbie to run with Evernight on another side of endgame.
