Tutorial of Weakness Break
Learn about Weakness Break, a crucial combat element. Attacking with the enemy's Weakness Type inflicts heavy damage and limits their actions. It's the fundamental fighting technique in Honkai: Star Rail, so make sure to master it.
Unlocks Space Anchor
Space Anchors are recovery and teleport points that, once unlocked, allow for quick travel to different locations. Make sure to unlock them when you find them on the map.
| Point! | Teleport is not available at this point, but the teleport function will be unlocked later. Once you find the Space Anchor, go ahead and unlock it. |
Tutorial Of Light Cone
Light Cone is a type of equipment that is classified as a "Weapon". Equipping and reinforcing Light Cones can significantly improve a character's stats. It is recommended to have Light Cones equipped on every character in your team.
Voidranger: Trampler Battle
Here you will fight Voidranger: Trampler, the last combat tutorial. Make sure to attack with the enemy's Weakness Type and aim for a Weakness Break.
Take Advantage Of The Trailblazer's Blast
Trailblazer's Skill can damage the target and adjacent enemies. Targeting the central enemy collectively reduces their Toughness as all enemies have Physical-type Weaknesses
| Point！ | Reducing the enemy's Toughness to 0 can increase its damage and slow its actions. |

Doomsday Beast Battle
Head towards the target icon to start the Doomsday Beast boss battle. Use the tutorial information to prepare for this first major battle.
Prioritize Himeko's Skill
At the start, three enemies with Fire-type Weaknesses appear. Himeko's Skill can reduce their Toughness, so use it wisely to avoid running out of Skill Points on her turn.
Basic ATK Is Enough For The Stunned Enemy
After defeating the three initial enemies, the main body will be briefly stunned, allowing for attacks. During this time, you should use Basic ATK to reduce its HP and charge Skill Points.
| Point! | During this time, it is recommended to use March 7th's Skill to give Shields to allies whose HP is low. |
In The Latter Part, Use Ultimate To Take Them Down At Once
When the main body's HP reaches 0, another three enemies will appear. In the latter half of the battle, enemy attacks intensify, so use Ultimate to quickly reduce their HP.
