Kafka is a 5-star Lightning character from The Nihility path coming soon to Honkai: Stellar Rail.

While Kafka will likely be featured as a boosted 5-star character on one of the upcoming Version 1.2 Banners, she will eventually return to Honkai Star Rail at some point in the future when the Banner schedule returns.

If you want to be prepared if you successfully Warp for her, we’ve listed Kafka’s leaks Climbing equipment And trace materials so you can upgrade it to its full potential right away. To understand how you might play it, we’ve also detailed what we know about Kafka’s Kit And Eidolon benefits.

Honkai Star Rail Kafka Kit

Kafka is a The Nihility Path 5-Star Lightning Characterwill therefore be the best at providing DoT (damage over time) and lowering the stamina bars of enemies, in addition to working well with other characters that produce DoT effects.

All percentages mentioned below are based on level 1 traces.

With thanks to honeyhunterworld for helping fill in some of the gaps, here is a summary of Kafka’s kit in Honkai Star Rail:

• Element: Lightning.
• Path: Nothingness.
• Scarcity: 5 stars.
• Basic attack: Midnight Uproar (Deals lightning damage equal to 50% of Kafka’s attack stats to a single enemy).
• Skill: Caressing Moonlight (Deals lightning damage equal to 50% of Kafka’s attack stats to a single enemy and lightning damage equal to 30% of Kafka’s attack stats to adjacent enemies. If target enemy is already affected by DoTs, those DoT effects immediately damage him for 60% of the original DoT damage).
• Ultimate: Twilight Trill (Deals lightning damage equal to 48% of Kafka’s attack stat to all enemies, with a 100% chance to electrocute enemies and they immediately take damage equal to 72% of the DoT. electrocution lasts two turns and while the enemies are Electrocuted, they receive Lightning damage equal to 95% of Kafka’s attack stats at the start of each turn).
• Talent (passive ability): Gentle but Cruel (After a basic ally attacks an enemy, Kafka immediately launches a follow-up attack and deals lightning damage equal to 60% of his attack stats to that enemy, with a 100% chance to increase the DoT damage received by the enemy by 15% for two turns. This effect can only be triggered once per turn).
• Technique (overworld ability): Mercy Is Not Forgiveness (immediately attacks the enemy and deals Lightning damage equal to 50% of Kafka’s attack stats to all enemies. Each enemy also has a 100% chance to be electrocuted for three turns. While enemies are electrocuted, they receive lightning damage equal to 50% of Kafka’s attack stat at the start of each turn).
• Bonus Track 1: Torture (When DoTs immediately damage enemies due to Kafka’s skill or ultimate, their damage multiplier is increased by 24% of Kafka’s break effect, up to a maximum of 24 %).
• Bonus Track 2: Plunder (if an enemy is defeated while in shock, Kafka also regenerates 5 energy points).
• Bonus Track 3: Thorns (Kafka’s talent has a 20% base chance to increase the DoT enemies receive, and his ultimate has a 20% base chance to electrocute enemies).

• Very strong (E2): Weakness Break effectiveness increased by 50%.
• Whim (E3): Increases Kafka’s skill level by two, with a maximum buff level of 15, and increases his basic attack by one with a maximum buff level of 10.
• Recitative (E4): The duration of the DoT increase caused by Kafka’s Talent is extended by one turn. This effect can stack up to two times.
• Painful (E5): Increases the level of Kafka’s Ultimate and Talent by two with a maximum enhancement level of 15 for both.
