1.1 Patch Notes for Honkai: Star Rail!

You can find the full patch notes here.

New Area

The History and Culture Museum area will become available once the event related to the zone starts – which will happen on the 9th of June.

The Belobog History and Culture Museum, which has a history of more than 600 years, displays many precious exhibits of extraordinary significance to this city.

There are three permanent exhibition areas in the Belobog History and Culture Museum. They are the General Hall, the Industrial Hall, and the History-Culture Hall.

New characters

Three new characters will be added to Honkai: Star Rail in the 1.1 update:

• Silver Wolf (5* Nihility/Quantum) – check her profile
  • The universe is just another game to this super hacker.
  • Silver Wolf is a Quantum character following the Path of Nihility. She has a unique mechanic to add Type Weaknesses on enemies. When Silver Wolf uses her Skill, there is a chance of adding a Type Weakness on an enemy target. The Weakness Type will be the same as the ATK Type of at least one ally currently in the team.
  • Her Ultimate can also reduce the DEF of a single enemy target and deal DMG to them.
  • After every attack, she has a chance of implanting a random Bug on an enemy target, which can reduce the target’s ATK, DEF, or SPD.
• Luocha (5* Abundance/Imaginary) – check his profile
  • A handsome man carrying a giant coffin.
  • Luocha is an Imaginary character following the Path of Abundance. His Skill can restore a massive amount of HP to a designated single ally. When any ally’s HP falls to 50% or less, an effect equal to Luocha’s Skill will be immediately triggered.
  • Unleashing Skill or Ultimate will accumulate stacks of Abyss Flower. When Abyss Flower reaches 2 stacks, consume all Abyss Flowers to deploy a Field. While the Field is active, any allies will immediately restore a certain amount of HP when they attack any enemy.
• Yukong (4* Harmony/Imaginary) – check her profile
  • The Head of Xianzhou Luofu’s Sky-Faring Commission is gentle, yet seasoned and authoritative.
  • Yukong is an Imaginary character following the Path of Harmony. Her Skill can increase the ATK of all allies.
  • Her Ultimate can buff her Skill’s enhancements and increase the CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG of all allies, as well as dealing DMG to a single target enemy.

New Light Cones

Three new Light Cones will be added with this update:

• 5-Star Incessant Rain (The Nihility)
  • Obtainable through the Brilliant Fixation Light Cone event Warp during the event period.
• 5-Star Echoes of the Coffin (The Abundance)
  • Obtainable through the Brilliant Fixation Light Cone event Warp during the event period.
• 4-Star Before the Tutorial Mission Starts (The Nihility)
  • Obtainable through the Starhunt Game Limited-Time Event.

You can find more information about the Light Cones here.

New Stories

Four new Companion Missions will be added with this patch:

• Punklorde Mentality
  • The network security engineer of the space station thinks there is more behind the invasion of the Legion. You recall what happened to you when you woke up and decide to join him in tracking down the Stellaron Hunter, Silver Wolf…
• A Knight Stranger
  • Luocha, the cryptic Outworld traveling merchant, looked so similar to that person… Looks like it’s a job for genius detective March 7th!
• Evanesce Like the Morning Dew
  • Bailu has once again escaped from the Alchemy Commission, but it turns out that this “escape” was actually an unexpected “house call”…
• Frosty Blade’s Trial
  • To apprehend the escaped Stellaron Hunters, the Seat of Divine Foresight lieutenant, Yanqing, went on a solo hunting trip…

Silver Wolf, Bailu and Yanqing companion missions will become available right once the maintenance ends, but for Luocha’s mission we will have to wait till the 28th of June.

New events

We already covered the upcoming events in another blog post, so if you want to learn more about them go here. Overall just from the events, we will be able to obtain nearly 3000 Stellar Jades and 10x Special Summon Tickets!

Other updates

Memory of Chaos

Surprisingly, the patch notes revealed the buffs that we will encounter in the 1.1 Memory of Chaos phases! And honestly, it seems that MoC will become harder but this was given – the 1.0 Turbulences were simply really strong and perfectly tailored to Seele.

Also, our Tier List will be updated on the 13th or 14th of June once we were able to clear the new MoC!

2023/06/12 04:00 – 2023/06/26 03:59 (server time)

Memory Turbulence: Apply “Memory Imprint” to all enemies at the beginning of each Cycle. For every other debuff currently on the enemy, apply 1 extra stack of “Memory Imprint” to that enemy. Each stack reduces the target’s DMG dealt by 4% for a maximum of 5 stacks. This effect lasts until the start of the next Cycle.

2023/06/26 04:00 – 2023/07/10 03:59 (server time)

Memory Turbulence: Apply “Memory Imprint” to all enemies at the beginning of each Cycle. For every other debuff currently on the enemy, apply 1 extra stack of “Memory Imprint” to that enemy. Each stack reduces the target’s DEF by 6% for a maximum of 5 stacks. This effect lasts until the start of the next Cycle.

2023/07/10 04:00 – 2023/07/24 03:59 (server time)

Memory Turbulence: At the start of every Cycle, allies with over 80% HP get a 50% ATK increase for 1 turn.

System updates

• Adds “Information” module to the Character Details screen, where you can check out character introduction, voice, story and more.
• Adds character idle action to the Character Details screen.
• Adds “Friend Chat” function to v1.1. Please refer to future announcements for its launch date.
• Adds “Enemy Navigation” function. Trailblazers can click on desired materials to view the path of the material drops. Click on the corresponding enemies to view their locations.
• Adds “Conventional Memoir” page to “Travel Log”. Some past events will be included in “Conventional Memoir”, and Trailblazers can play these events and stories to obtain regular rewards. If Trailblazers have participated in the events before, then the rewards cannot be claimed again.
• Adds credit items to the World Shop. These credit items will be available for exchange after all limited items are exchanged. There is no exchange limit for credit items.
• Adds event “Lost Trotter”. While Trailblazers are exploring the map or fighting enemies, there’s a chance for Warp Trotters to appear in battle. Defeat Warp Trotters to receive extra materials as rewards.
• When “Calyx (Golden)” and other material stages are unlocked, prompts will be shown about these new entries being added to the “Interastral Peace Guide — Survival Guide”.

Adjustments and Optimizations

Quite a lot of changes are listed in this section of the patch notes, but most of them won’t affect the gameplay. The most important change you need to be aware of is this one:

The Effect RES of enemy targets above level 50 has been adjusted to increase at a lower rate as the level increases. In version 1.0, the Effect RES of enemies increased a bit too significantly with level. After adjustment, the overall increase in Effect RES for enemy targets above level 50 is reduced, making it easier for them to fall into negative debuffs inflicted by characters.

The change drastically reduces the amount of Effect Hit Rate you need to build on debuffers (Pela and Silver Wolf), DoT characters (Sampo and Serval), but also some other characters that have skills with a base chance to apply a debuff or status effect (March 7th and Gepard).

This will allow you to build them more offensively or defensively! We will review all the affected characters and adjust their tier list positions if we decide that they’re now stronger!
