Within the much-anticipated Honkai Star Rail 3.2 update, Castorice stands out as one of the premier 5-star units, excelling in the role of damage dealer (DPS). This character specializes in dealing Area of Effect (AoE) Quantum Damage, thanks to her unique abilities and the mechanics of the Remembrance Path. Notably, Castorice can summon a Memosprite to unleash devastating attacks against her foes. Additionally, her innate talent encourages resilience by preventing allies from being knocked down during critical moments in battle.
This article delves deeper into the intricacies of Castorice’s abilities and kit within Honkai Star Rail.
Understanding Castorice’s Kit in Honkai Star Rail
As a member of the Remembrance Path, Castorice’s battle strategy involves summoning her Memosprite to inflict significant damage. Below is a detailed breakdown of her kit:
Basic Attack and Skill Overview
- Basic Attack: Activating this ability allows Castorice to inflict AoE Quantum Damage on her enemies.
- Skill: In this skill, she sacrifices a portion of her allies’ current HP to deal damage to selected enemies based on her health.
- Enhanced Skill: Using her Enhanced Skill, Castorice not only sacrifices team HP but also employs Netherwing for a collaborative assault, again based on her health status.
Ultimate Ability
Castorice’s Ultimate summons the Netherwing Memosprite, providing a 100% advancement in its action. In conjunction with this, the ability creates an area known as “Lost Netherland,”which reduces the target’s All-Type Resistance (RES). If her talent’s damage boost is currently active, it will affect the Netherwing as well.
The summons receive a specified amount of Speed (SPD) and spawn with a maximum HP determined by a percentage of their Newbud points. It’s noteworthy that the Memosprite will disappear after a certain number of turns or when it is reduced to zero HP.
Talent Features
Castorice’s talent facilitates her gain of Newbud points whenever allies lose health. When at maximum Newbud points, she can unleash her Ultimate ability. When her teammates’ health decreases, both Netherwing and Castorice’s damage capabilities see an increase. It’s important to note that while Netherwing is active, no Newbud points can be acquired, although these points do enhance the Memosprite’s health.
Upon acquiring Castorice or placing her in a team, her talent provides the following benefits in combat:
- All allies that take a finishing blow will enter a state called “Lunar Cocoon.”
- During the “Lunar Cocoon”duration, downed allies can still perform normal actions.
- This effect is lost if the downed characters receive healing or a protective shield.
Technique Overview
Utilizing her Technique transforms Castorice into the Netherveil state for a limited timeframe. While in this state, opponents cannot approach her, and any engagement will initiate a combat encounter. Additionally, this technique summons the Netherwing, accelerates its actions, and sets up the Lost Netherland Territory.
Netherwing’s Skill Set
- Skill 1: Delivers Quantum Damage based on Castorice’s maximum HP.
- Skill 2: Netherwing sacrifices its own HP to unleash Quantum Damage on all enemies, and this skill can be activated multiple times.
Netherwing’s Talents
- Talent 1: Acts as a protective measure for allies, with the Memosprite consuming its HP when a teammate’s health falls to one.
- Talent 2: Increases the damage output of all allies upon Netherwing’s summoning.
- Talent 3: Upon the disappearance of Netherwing, it deals a Quantum Damage instance and restores HP to allies.
