Echoes of War inHonkai: Star Railis equivalent to weekly boss inGenshin Impact. Players can only claim three Echoes of War rewards per week, but the three can be from any boss, so Trailblazers can focus on one material each week.
As an “Echo” of past events, these challenges areonly available after Trailblazers fight the enemy in the relevant missions. Additionally, since these enemies play a large role in the lore, they’re naturally harder than the open-world boss. Out of the availableweekly bosses inHSR, here are all of them, ranked by difficulties.
6Destruction’s Beginning
Doomsday Beast
Doomsday Beast inHSRis the first boss players will encounter in the game. During the attack on the Herta Space Station, players must beat this enemy alongside their Trailblazing companions, such as March 7th and Dan Heng.
As the first weekly boss in the game, it’s no surprise that Doomsday Beast is the easiest among the available weeklychallenges inHonkai: Star Rail. To beat this enemy, focus on destroying the Left and Right Hand to disable the Antimatter Engine in the middle. Once the Antimatter Engine is destroyed, the boss will be downed. Here,do not use heavy attacksand instead throw useless moves to restore Skill Points and Energy. The boss won’t start the second phase until their health bar is depleted, so unleashing the team’s best moves is useless.
While incapacitated, damage dealt to the boss is increased significantly, allowing Trailblazers to deal large damage for damage-related achievement.
5End of the Eternal Freeze
Cocolia
After the misunderstanding in Belobog, players eventually mustbattle Cocolia inHonkai: Star Rail. In the first phase of this weekly boss, players can focus solely on Cocolia and bring her down quickly, but if that’s not possible, destroy her Ice Lances first to make Cocolia weaker. Utilize thePreservation Creation’s Wrathto get rid of the Ice Lances swiftly.
In the second phase, players should aim to deplete her Toughness, butonly trigger a weakness break when she’s charging her Ultimate move. This way, the team can avoid massive damage from Cocolia. Although Cocolia comes with some deadly hits for new players, her mechanics are quite basic compared to the latter weekly bosses in the game.
4Divine Seed
Phantylia The Undying
The Imbibitor Lunae’s past eventually leads players to the surprising “death” of Tingyun and the revelation ofPhantylia the Undying inHonkai: Star Rail. The Emanator of Destruction enjoys bringing chaos and aims to destroy Luofu as she infiltrates the ship. Fortunately, with the power of friendship between Dan Heng and Jing Yuan, Phantylia was swiftly dealt with.
Beating Phantylia can be tricky since she has so many things going on, such as:
If players have specific characters, her ability can be countered easily, but if not, it can be confusing to deal with.
3Inner Beast’s Battlefield
Feixiao
The theory abouthow to beat Feixiao boss inHonkai: Star Railis not difficult, but beating her is harder than it sounds. This is mostly due to the fact that the boss is packed with HP, has three helping parts with high Toughness that can get enhanced, and, most importantly,the lack of supporting hits, similar to the Swarm King.
Many weekly bosses inHSRget easier if players trigger a weakness break, but it’s never a necessity. For Feixiao, playersmustuse the Toughness mechanism, otherwise, the boss will continuously dish out large damage.
2Borehole Planet’s Old Crater
Starcrusher Swarm King
The Emanator of Propagation replica boss fight may be difficult for players with an under-built team, but there are no crazy mechanics for this boss, compared to the other Echoes of War enemies.
Starcrusher Swarm King can be easily brute-forced with a proper team, but if the current Trailblazing party is not strong enough, then here are some things worth noting:
1Salutations of Ashen Dreams
Sunday
Among the available weekly bosses,Sunday fight inHonkai: Star Railis arguably the most annoying. Unlike the other enemies which can be brute-forced, the follower of Order basically forces players to continuously and slowly reduce his and his minion’s Toughness.
When Sunday casts his Ultimate, he charges for seven turns. In this time frame, depleting the boss’ Toughness will grant a team-wide shield. Make sure to stack on this protection, cause after seven turns, his Ultimate can be deadly if not enough shield is present.
