Topaz, Honkai: Star Rail’s latest fire five-star character, marks a unique addition to the roster as the game’s second featured Hunt character. Unlike typical character releases, Topaz stands out by excelling in the sub-DPS role, offering a distinctive combat style reminiscent of characters like Kafka and Jing Yuan. While she can function as a DPS or support, her optimal role is as a sub-DPS, complementing follow-up attackers effectively.
Topaz’s kit, featuring both a skill and normal attack as follow-up attacks, makes her an excellent match for follow-up attackers. Notably, her skill automatically targets an enemy, making her skill-point efficient. However, players should be mindful of potential target issues and adjust accordingly. Teaming Topaz with other follow-up attackers mitigates concerns about her single-target focus, enhancing overall damage output.
In terms of stats, prioritizing ATK and balancing with critical stats is crucial, given her scaling with ATK. Buffing her attack with units like Tingyun and optimizing energy management with her technique further enhances her performance. Beyond combat, Topaz enhances player experience by calling out Numby to locate treasures, making her a valuable addition to both battles and exploration in Honkai: Star Rail.
