Which Honkai Star Rail Trailblazer build is the best?
As the tale progresses, you may connect the Trailblazer with various pathways and aspects since they are an adaptable character . The Trailblazer has so far been shown to be in line with the paths of Destruction, Preservation, and, most recently, Harmony.
The Trailblazer's kit, when aligned with the path of Destruction, focuses on dealing out a lot of physical damage that is based on attack stat. Because they can launch a single assault as well as a blast, they're an excellent all-around attacker for large monsters or opposing groups. It is advisable to allocate your resources towards increasing their attack stat and physical damage capacity.
When facing Preservation's direction, the Trailblazer delivers powerful blows that cause fire damage. While their talent causes them to plant their weapon in front of them, establishing a shield for the team and teasing adversaries to concentrate assaults on them rather than their teammates, their standard attack causes a shield to be activated for the whole team in addition to striking the adversary with a single blow. Their ult does AoE fire damage to every enemy and activates the team-wide shield.
The Trailblazer does illusory damage and gives their team break effect benefits when they connect with Harmony's route.Their ultimate greatly amplifies all teammates' break effect and adds Super Break damage, while their skills deliver illusory damage over the field. Because their break effect buffs are so potent, concentrate on increasing their defense and HP to increase their survivability.
