Top 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Playing Mydei in Honkai Star Rail

As a new addition to the roster of characters in Honkai Star Rail, Mydei presents a unique gameplay experience that players must understand to maximize his potential. With the excitement around rolling for the Chrysos Heir during the game’s second phase, it’s essential for Trailblazers to familiarize themselves with Mydei’s abilities, ensuring effective play and optimal builds.

Avoid These Five Common Mistakes When Using Mydei in Honkai Star Rail

1) Misunderstanding Mydei’s Abilities

It’s crucial to comprehend Mydei’s kit to utilize him effectively in Honkai Star Rail. Many players rush into gameplay without grasping the nuances of their new characters, especially in high-level content. This oversight can lead to inefficient strategies during battles, ultimately hindering your ability to earn three stars in end-game activities. Take the time to review his abilities, and don’t hesitate to use the “Brief Description”button to clarify their functions.

2) Equipping the Wrong Relics, Planar Ornaments, and Light Cones

Choosing the appropriate Relic and Planar Ornament sets is essential for optimizing Mydei’s performance. While mistakenly equipping a non-synergistic Light Cone may have minimal repercussions, farming the wrong Relic sets can drain valuable Trailblaze Power. Therefore, it is vital to understand which gear complements Mydei’s abilities before investing time and resources into farming.

3) Focusing on CRIT Stats Instead of HP

Given that Mydei is a damage-per-second (DPS) character, it’s a common misconception for players to prioritize Critical Hit (CRIT) stats over Health Points (HP). Since many of Mydei’s abilities scale with HP, it’s imperative for players to focus on HP as both a main and sub-stat in Relic and Ornament pieces. Neglecting this crucial aspect could significantly hamper his damage output during fights.

4) Incompatible Team Compositions

Strategically assembling your team is vital when using Mydei. Placing him alongside characters with contrasting playstyles may hinder his effectiveness. To maximize Mydei’s potential as an HP/CRIT-scaling Hypercarry DPS, surrounding him with supportive buffers and a healer/sustainer is essential.

5) Upgrading Traces in the Incorrect Order

Upon acquiring Mydei, the recommended course of action is to enhance his level before focusing on upgrading his Traces. Selecting the right Traces to upgrade first is crucial for unleashing Mydei’s capabilities without the need to max out all abilities at once. If you haven’t pre-farmed the necessary materials, prioritize leveling up his Skill and Ultimate first, as these are key to his damage output. Ignoring this order may result in a less effective usage in various in-game activities.
