Damage over Time in Honkai: Star Rail is a certain type of debuff and damage that has its own mechanics and rules compared to regular damage. DoT can be caused by character abilities and Weakness Break effects. This video explains how DoT works, what counts as DoT, what stats affect DoT, and how to optimize your DoT all in preparation for DoT queen Kafka. #honkaistarrail #kafka #hoyocreators

I mean sure we're all looking forward to Kafka here for... Reasons... But to be fair to the other Nihility characters, there's nothing overly unique about her kit. It's more specific to her of course but imo doesn't render other options void. Still might end up being wrong though, these are the kinds of things we'll never really know until we get her

1. Himeko and Kafka have close to no synergy together. Himeko's DoT is minuscule and is terrible enabling from Kafka + himeko builds Crit. 2. It's not a 50/50, it's a 50% base chance, without EHR it'll be a 35% chance against the average 30% resist enemy. 3. Not saying that you can't play your OTP. Just that it's a really not a good team for neither of them

i would like to point out that the normal dot which is innate to a certain character stacks with other characters dots of the same type, currently you can only do this with burn. So you can have Astas Burn, Hooks Burn and Himekos Burn active on the same enemy at the same time. Which also means that you should be able to run servals shock together with kafkas shock aswell.

Yes you can, plus if you break the enemy with one of them the enemy will have 3 different tick of shock. The best part is serval ult extends all three duration by 2 turns.
