Honkai Star Rail: HoYoverse Made Further…

Once again, there will be a brand new 5-Star in the next upcoming patch of Honkai Star Rail: Acheron. She is already extremely popular, even prior to her release. However, HoYoverse doesn't seem to be quite happy with her just yet, at least when we are looking at her balancing history. Now, Acheron's kit receives even more adjustments.

Compared to other HoYoverse games, Honkai Star Rail is actually very well-rounded when it comes to character balancing. Of course, there are some candidates that seem a bit out of line, and one of them appears to be the upcoming 5-star character Acheron. Over the last few days and weeks, Acheron's kit has already received a number of revisions and adjustments, but it seems that HoYoverse is still not completely satisfied with her place and strength within the game.

Honkai Star Rail: HoYoverse Made Further Adjustments To Acheron's Pre-Release Kit

According to an information provided by one of the most reliable Honkai Star Rail leakers named Dim, Acheron will receive yet another adjustment to her pre-release kit. Many players have already been quite vocal about the balancing-errors in her ability line up on various social media platforms.

Luckily, HoYoverse seems to listen to their player base and made another set of changes in Acheron's kit, which should make her as powerful as you would think a Galaxy Ranger really is!

Let's take a closer look at the most recent Acheron changes:

Subject of Change	OLD	NEW
Eidolon 1	CRIT Rate rises by 15% when damaging a debuffed enemy. When "Slashed Dream" is at max, ever new stack of Slashed Dream will generate one stack of Quadrivalent Ascendance instead. (up to three stacks.)	CRIT Rate rises by 18% when damaging a debuffed enemy.
Eidolon 4	Inflict Ultimate Vulnerability onto all enemies when entering the battle, increasing Ulti DMG taken by 12%.	Inflict Ultimate Vulnerability onto all enemies when entering the battle, increasing Ulti DMG taken by 18%.
Eidolon 6	The Ultimate's CRIT DMG increases by 60%. DMG from Acheron's basic ATK count as Ultimate DMG.	Increases all-type RES penetration for Ulti DMG dealt by Acheron by 20%. DMG dealt by basic AKT and Skill are considered Ulti DMG.
Talent (Passive)	When battle starts, immediately gains 5points of Slashed Dream and applies 5stacks of Crimson Knot to a random enemy.	When battle starts, immediately gains 5points of Slashed Dream and applies 5stacks of Crimson Knot to a random enemy. When Slashed Dream reaches its upper limit, for every point of Slashed Dream that exceeds the limit, gains 1 stack of Quadrivalent Ascendance. Increases the maximum stackable count for Quadrivalent Ascendance to three.
Technique	After using the technique, enter the "Eternal Tribulation Nothingness" state for a few seconds. While being in said state, all fights you initiate with an enemy whose level is below X, you automatically win said fight and skip the entire battle.	Immediately attacks the enemy, and gains Quadrivalent Ascendance at the start of every wave, dealing Lightning DMG equal to 200% of Acheron's ATK to all enemies and reduces Toughness of all enemies irrespective of Weakness Types. When inflicting Weakness Break, triggers the Lightning Weakness Break effect.

That is quite the interesting set of changes! Most players seem to be really happy about the E1 and Talent adjustment, since it makes her much more free-to-play friendly and increases her overall feel! Her E6 is no stronger than ever before, with her E4 being the only nerfed skill in this patch!

It is to be expected, that there will be one more round of changes in one week from now on, so let's take all this with a big grain of salt. However, HoYoverse seems to like Acheron quite a lot with all the buffs she is receiving recently.
