Honkai: Star Rail – How to Conquer The Latest Main Storyline, as F2P with This One Trick

How to Conquer The Latest Main Storyline

Сrеdit gоеs to monokuroe!

Slight Spoilers Ahead!

I saw some posts that have people saying they can’t beat certain bosses from the 1.2 content. Full disclosure, I have 2 accounts, one main and an f2p alt and I didn’t find it hard on my main account. I auto’d everything. However when I tried with my f2p account at EL 5 (max level 70), holy s**t the enemies hit hard! My team is just dying from the mobs?

So I’m gonna say the one trick outright: it’s FireMC. A well-built FireMC will make your team survive this. I think most would have built FireMC as many tierlists recommended to build them.

Achievements screen cuz I suck taking pic the actual time I actually defeated Phantylia.

My FireMC Stats. If you have the Taunt LC, better, but any maxed-level LC will do.

My relics aren’t even that leveled, but they do have DEF% main Stats.

I know Teambuiding guide is to prioritize Ult, but really, as long as its leveled.

Actually, I’m actually kinda lying with the title. I would say FireMC is the cornerstone of your team that will make you survive this new content, but you also have to make sure the rest of your team is properly leveled, equipped with high level LC and high level relics. Not necessarily really good relics, but the main stat of the relic should at least be the appropriate one for the character.

Now I’m going to detail some of the other things I paid attention to, such as who to build among your roster of characters aside from FireMC for your team?

Consider the type of the enemies or bosses you’ll encounter. The Master of Sanctus Medicus is Physical/Ice/Lightning Weak, while Phantylia is Lightning/Wind/Imaginary. So maybe you would want a DPS/Buffer/Debuffer that would correspond to any of these weaknesses.

You would want a healer, and the last two slots can be a DPS & Buffer/Debuffer or 2 DPS. This is the team I went to clear the mobs, and actually, the Master of Sanctus Medicus as well, though it took me quite a while.

QQ is what I call a “mob control” and Dan Heng is the “assassin”

The healer is another part that is essential for the team. I am not really sure if another shielder like Gepard can substitute for a healer, but I think it’s just safer to run with a healer. Natasha is perfectly adequate. I think Natasha is better than Bailu because the bosses have very annoying debuff that you would want to remove. So make sure Natasha has that trace active. If you have Luocha, even better as not only he can remove debuffs, he will be also damaging and breaking Phantylia’s mobs.

Natasha’s stats. Luocha is the best healer for this content.

Natasha’s Relics. Wild Wheat for additional speed. HP% for everything, SPD for boots

Now for the choice of DPS/Buffer/Debuffer… this is really up to player’s choice, but it will always be better to chose a character whose element matches the boss weakness. I just went with QQ and Dan Heng because of mob weakness (Many are weak to Quantum), and her attack can hit multiple enemies. That is why she is “mob control”. Dan Heng is the “assassin” because his role is to output big damage on single enemies (and in the future, Phantylia) It is important that the characters are leveled, the LC leveled and Traces too to squeeze more damage. Relics should be at least 4*, +9. I am running Max Level LCs (70 for my EL) for all my characters.

If you actually have Blade, yeah build that guy in there, he’s really a good DPS for this content.

E6 Dan Heng. Blade is the best wind DPS for this content.

Some tips for the Master of Sanctus Medicus, to be honest there’s not much really. Let FireMC do their job. Kill the accompanying mobs first to mitigate damage. Heal the HP debuff if it’s too much for a character. There’s nothing really special to her except for the HP debuff she casts.

Now for Phantylia… this is the team I used. Now you can change Dan Heng to whoever you want.

The blank slot is for the guest trial character, and he’s actually pretty good!

That guest character can clear Phantylia’s mobs. If you don’t know how to use that character, it’s just one simple principle.

Always make sure you use his skill on his turn, and always use his Ult. That’s it. Just pay attention to your skill points.

Now for general tips:

  1. Fire MC’s role is to taunt damage away from your DPS, and in Phantylia’s fight, protect that one character.
  2. Natasha’s role is to generate skill points, heal whenever necessary or remove that annoying debuff.
  3. Dan Heng’s a sub-DPS. You can replace him with whoever you prefer.
  4. The guest character’s role is to damage mobs with his skill, and kill mobs with his follow-up. Also damage Phantylia
  5. If the guest character gets his HP debuffed, heal him immediately.
  6. Before you get to the 2nd phase, if the HPs are low, please heal first before dropping Phantylia’s HP to 0.
  7. Imo, it’s not really worth focusing on black flowers. Focus on Phantylia instead. Let the guest slowly whittle away the HP of those flowers with his skill and follow-up attacks.
  8. The white flowers though, they’re easier to kill so can be worth focusing to. But the guest can also kill those flowers easy.
