Mastering Mydei in Honkai Star Rail is a seamless experience, thanks to his unique follow-up attack system that automates many aspects of combat. He excels at delivering substantial Imaginary DMG and can frequently take turns, particularly with optimized stats.
Understanding Mydei’s Abilities in Honkai Star Rail
Before you engage with Mydei in battles, it’s crucial to comprehend how his abilities operate in the context of the game.
Basic Attack
Mydei initiates an attack, inflicting Imaginary DMG on a chosen enemy. The damage he deals scales with his maximum HP, making his health a vital component of his offensive capability.
Skill Breakdown
Mydei boasts three distinct variations of his Skill, each with unique effects:
- Deaths are Legion, Regrets are None: Mydei sacrifices half of his current HP to deal damage across multiple targets, calculated from his Max HP.
- Kingslayer Be King: This version utilizes a fraction of Mydei’s health, allowing him to inflict AoE Imaginary DMG that also scales with his Max HP.
- Godslayer Be God: Here, Mydei expends Charge points to unleash a powerful Imaginary attack, impacting multiple foes and scaling with Max HP.
Be cautious that using the “Deaths are Legion, Regrets are None“and “Kingslayer Be King“skills when low on HP will leave him at just 1 HP.
Ultimate Ability
Mydei’s ultimate, known as Throne of Bones, serves multiple purposes: it restores a portion of his Max HP, generates 20 Charge points, and inflicts Imaginary DMG on an enemy and surrounding targets, with power based on his Max HP. Additionally, this ability Taunts enemies for several turns, forcing them to focus on Mydei.
Upon activating this ability, Mydei’s next “Godslayer Be God”attack will specifically target the last enemy hit.
Talent Activation
Mydei’s Talent, termed Blood for Blood, provides a significant advantage. Each time Mydei loses HP, he gains a Charge point. When he accumulates 100 Charge points, he enters the Vendetta state, rejuvenating part of his HP and advancing his turn. This state enhances his Max HP.
While in the Vendetta state, Mydei automatically activates “Kingslayer Be King” at the start of his turn; once he reaches 150 Charge points, he will trigger “Godslayer Be God” automatically. Notably, even a killing blow will not eliminate him; it temporarily ends the Vendetta state and replenishes 50% of his health.
Technique Utilization
Mydei’s Technique, called Cage of Broken Lance, pulls enemies closer and inflicts Daze, crippling their ability to attack allies. This sets the stage for an ambush, applying Imaginary DMG upfront, while Mydei gains Charge points and Taunts foes, enhancing his control over the battlefield.
Optimal Stat Development for Mydei
To maximize Mydei’s potential in Honkai Star Rail, focus on achieving the following critical stats through the right Light Cones and gear:
- HP: Exceed 8000
- CRIT Rate: Aim for 70-90%
- CRIT DMG: Maintain above 180%
- SPD: Target 135 to hit the second SPD breakpoint
Best Practices for Playing Mydei
As an HP-scaling Destruction character, Mydei thrives on executing follow-up attacks, which form the crux of his damage output. To leverage his potential effectively, keep these strategies in mind:
- Begin combat with Mydei’s Skill to utilize HP loss effectively, converting health sacrificed into Charge points.
- Pair Mydei with supportive characters like Sunday to expedite his turns and maximize Charge point accumulation.
- After acquiring 100 Charge points, Mydei enters his enhanced state, allowing him to automatically activate “Kingslayer Be King” on his next turn.
- While endowed with resilience in his Vendetta state, occasional healing is advisable to keep generating Charge points.
- Upon reaching 150 Charge points, unleash the “Godslayer Be God” Skill for tremendous Imaginary DMG.
- Mydei’s gameplay heavily leans toward auto-combat; hence, focus on managing his health while strategically deploying his Skill and Ultimate as needed.
