Acheron, the brand new Lightning Nihility unit is set for release in Honkai Star Rail version 2.1. Here is whether she is worth pulling or not in the game.
Acheron is quite possibly one of the most hyped units ever in Honkai Star Rail. She is the Honkai Star Rail’s version of Raiden Mei and Raiden Shogun which makes her part of a legacy in a HoYoverse game. Therefore, it is natural that a lot of players are excited for her.
However, while her character design is phenomenal, the question arises of how good she will be in the game. It is a point that players who are meta-oriented will be excited for the most.
Acheron is worth pulling in version 2.1
Should you pull for Acheron in Honkai Star Rail?
Yes, Acheron is a must-pull unit in Honkai Star Rail. She is set to become the first Nihility unit in this game whose kit is more of a hyper carry rather than simply relying on ATK stats. Acheron will need Crit Rate and Crit DMG which puts her in the league of elite DPS units in the game alongside Jingliu and Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae.
Additionally, Acheron’s kit functions a little differently when compared to other characters. While playing Acheron, you need to use your Skill ability to inflict status effects on enemies alongside stacks of Slashed Dream.
Now, her Talent works in a way where you need to reach nine Slashed Dream stacks to activate your ultimate. This ultimate ability can ignore the weakness type of all enemies and it can also reduce their toughness. Additionally, if any other unit in the party inflicts a debuff on an enemy, Acheron will end up gaining Slashed Dream stacks and inflict Crimson Knot.
Finally, Acheron will gain a boost to her ATK, Skill, and Ultimate depending on whether there are one or two Nihility units in the party. This means her damage ceiling is very high. The numbers of her various abilities are quite good, but if you want you can push it even further with modification in the party as well as getting access to Eidolons.
Apart from that, her unique kit is something that makes her a must-pull since it ends up opening a brand new way to play the game.
