The trickiest thing is to make sure that her DoT application is working properly, and that her equipment as well as her stats are aimed at DoT and follow-up damage. Thanks to her DPS role and attack scaling, Kafka isn’t that hard to build.

If you don’t have a suitable Light Cone for Kafka yet, it’s arguably better to get her signature weapon instead of trying to unlock Eidolon level 1. Eidolon level 6 is also extremely powerful as it not only enhances Kafka’s Shock damage but increases its duration, but it’s obviously very costly to unlock.Īs is usually the case for Honkai: Star Rail characters, none of the Eidolon levels are absolutely essential. The Shock inflicted on the enemy target by the Ultimate, the Technique, or the Talent-triggered follow-up attack has a DMG multiplier increase of 156% and lasts 1 turn longer.Įidolon level 4 is the most useful one for Kafka’s kit, as it will help her regenerate Energy faster – which, in turn, means more Shock application and more damage. When an enemy target takes DMG from the Shock status inflicted by Kafka, Kafka additionally regenerates 2 Energy. While Kafka is on the field, DoT dealt by all allies increases by 25%. When the Talent triggers a follow-up attack, there is a 100% base chance to increase the DoT received by the target by 30% for 2 turns.

Take a look at Kafka's list of upgrade materials for an overview of her Ascension and Trace upgrade materials. Likewise, make sure you unlock all Attack Boost and Effect Hit Rate stat bonuses. Torture is amazing if you use other DoT damage dealers on the team. It's important to unlock all of them eventually, but especially Thorns, as this will help you reach an Effect Hit Rate high enough to forego a Relic with an Effect Hit Rate main stat (and get more Attack% instead). The list above details Kafka's Bonus Ascension Abilities. Thorns (bonus ability Ascension 6): The base chance for Ultimate, Technique, or the follow-up attack triggered by the Talent to inflict Shock increases by 30%.Plunder (bonus ability Ascension 4): If an enemy is defeated while Shocked, Kafka additionally regenerates 5 Energy.Torture (bonus ability Ascension 2): When the Ultimate is used, enemy targets will now receive DMG immediately from all currently applied DoT sources instead of just receiving DMG immediately from the currently applied Shock state.If so, using her Technique is a good option to ensure that all enemies are Shocked straight away. While it’s very handy to use Kafka’s Ultimate at the start of the battle, you may not always have enough Energy. Best to avoid Kafka’s own Basic Attack though, as this won’t trigger the effect. It’s therefore important to apply a DoT first (by using Kafka’s Ultimate, for example) and use the Skill second.Īnother way to apply DoT, is by using an ally’s Basic Attack – this will trigger Kafka’s Talent, resulting in a follow-up attack that always applies Shock to the target enemy. Whether the Skill deals additional damage depends on whether the target enemy suffers from a DoT effect.

Kafka’s Skill, on the other hand, only damages a single target plus one enemy on each side of that target. Her Ultimate is especially powerful as it immediately applies Shock to all enemies on the field while also dealing normal Lightning damage. As you can see, Kafka specializes in damage over time effects (DoT) combined with multiple-target damage. The list above details Kafka’s abilities (without upgrades). After entering battle, deals Lightning DMG equal to 50% of Kafka’s ATK to all enemies, with a 100% base chance to inflict Shock equivalent to that applied by her Ultimate on every enemy target for 2 turns.

Technique: Immediately attacks all enemies within a set range.

This effect can only be triggered 1 time per turn.

Talent: After an ally uses Basic ATK on an enemy, Kafka immediately launches 1 follow-up attack and deals Lightning DMG equal to 42% of her ATK to that enemy, with a 100% base chance to inflict Shock equivalent to that of her Ultimate to the attacked enemy target for 2 turns.

While Shocked, enemies receive Lightning DoT equal to 116% of Kafka's ATK at the beginning of each turn.

Ultimate: Deals Lightning DMG equal to 48% of Kafka's ATK to all enemies, with a 100% base chance for enemies hit to become Shocked and immediately take DMG from their current Shock state, equal to 80% of its original DMG.

If the target enemy is currently receiving DoT, all DoTs currently placed on that enemy immediately produce DMG equal to 60% of their original DMG.

Skill: Deals Lightning DMG equal to 80% of Kafka's ATK to a target enemy plus Lightning DMG equal to 30% of Kafka's ATK to adjacent enemies.

Basic Attack: Deals Lightning DMG equal to 50% of Kafka’s ATK to a single enemy.
