One such effect you'll definitely want to know about is the\u00a0Break Effect. Here's everything you need to know about the Break Effect and how it works in\u00a0Honkai: Star Rail. What is the Break Effect in\u00a0HSR, explained Break Effect\u00a0enhances\u00a0specific effects\u00a0caused by Weakness Breaks in\u00a0Honkai: Star Rail. If you're unsure of what a Weakness Break is, it can be broken down as follows: When you attack an enemy with an element they're weak to, you'll\u00a0deplete its Toughness Gauge.\u00a0 Once this gauge is depleted, the\u00a0enemy suffers a Weakness Break, which means the\u00a0enemy's actions are delayed, there's a chance to\u00a0cause a debuff\u00a0depending on the element, and an instance of\u00a0break damage\u00a0will be dealt to the enemy. Essentially, the\u00a0Break Effect enhances these effects\u00a0by a percentage. Specifically, it increases Break damage, damage Over Time or any delayed damage dealt when the enemy has been Weakness Broken, and action delays. So, if you can trigger an Honkai: Star Rail enemy's Weakness Break, you'll increase your damage dealt to the enemy and the enemy's action delays. It may not seem like a lot, but it can be beneficial in taking out your enemies quicker and getting in every elemental attack, even the ones they're resistant to, before they can recover. Characters with Break Effect abilities and Eidolons Specific\u00a0characters in\u00a0Honkai: Star Rail\u00a0can increase the Break Effect for themselves or all allies with their\u00a0abilities or through Eidolons. These characters include: Ruan Mei Ability: Inert Respiration: Increases the Break Effect for all allies by 20 percent (needs two ascensions) Eidolon: Chatoyant Eclat (level four): If an enemy's Weakness Breaks, Ruan's Break Effect increases by 100 percent for three turns.\u00a0 Sushang Eidolon: Cleave With Heart (level four): Her Break Effect is increased by 40 percent Xueyi Eidolon: Karma, Severed (level four): Her Break Effect increases by 40 percent for two rounds when she uses her Ultimate. If you don't have any of these Honkai: Star Rail characters or you want to enhance them or damage-over-time-inflicting characters further, there are also Relic Sets and Light Cones you can equip that can increase the Break Effect of a character. Relic Sets and Light Cones to increase the Break Effect Relics, which you can\u00a0earn in specific Caverns of Corrosion, can increase certain stats. The following\u00a0Relic Sets increase the Break Effect: Watchmaker, Master of Dream Machinations Two pieces: Increases the Break Effect by 16 percent. Four pieces: If the wearer uses their Ultimate on an ally, every ally's Break Effect will increase by 30 percent for two turns. However, it can't be stacked. Thief of the Shooting Meteor Two pieces: Increases Break Effect by 16 percent. Four pieces: Increases the wearer's Break Effect by 16 percent. If the wearer is the one who inflicts the enemy's Weakness Break, they'll regenerate three energy. Talia: Kingdom of Banditry Two pieces: Increases the wearer's Break Effect by 16 percent. If the wearer's speed is 145 or more, the Break Effect is increased by 20 percent.\u00a0 And if you want to increase your Break Effect further, there are even\u00a0Light Cones\u00a0that can\u00a0increase your Break Effect, including: What Is Real? Four-star\u00a0Abundance Memories of the Past Four-star Harmony Indelible Promise Four-star Destruction Fermata Four-star Nihility Solitary Healing Five-star Nihility Past Self in Mirror Five-star Harmony So, if you want to weaken enemies, delay actions, and increase damage, this is what you'll need to know about Break Effects and how to increase them in\u00a0Honkai Star Rail.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Dot-Esports-Image-2023-04-05T001056.180.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1167087"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2158"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1167087"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1167087\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1167242,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1167087\/revisions\/1167242"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/835076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1167087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1167087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1167087"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1167087"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1167087"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1167087"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1167087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
