While Kafka is already a capable character in her own right, her true potential is unleashed when teamed up with the perfect partners in Honkai: Star Rail. As a Nihility character specializing in inflicting and activating damage-over-time effects, pairing Kafka with other Nihility characters can greatly amplify her effectiveness and bring unparalleled exhilaration to the battlefield.
Best Team Compositions for Kafka
Choosing the Ideal Battle Buddies for Kafka in Honkai: Star RailAs Honkai: Star Rail continues to evolve, so does its diverse cast of characters. For all you Kafka fans out there, we've prepared a handy guide on selecting the perfect companions for battles, based on the current available roster. Don't worry, if more suitable characters are introduced in future updates, we'll make sure to keep this guide up-to-date. With our guidance, you can ensure that Kafka reaches the pinnacle of her potential as a playable unit.
One of Kafka's standout traits is her remarkable talent for inflicting and manually activating Damage over Time (DoT) effects. This remarkable ability significantly enhances the efficiency of teams reliant on DoT damage, effectively transforming her into a facilitator for all characters who depend on causing harm through Shock, Bleed, Wind Shear, and various comparable effects.
The
Balanced F2P Team
best comps for Kafka will feature at least one character who synergizes effectively with her strengths. Due to her specialized abilities, she is most effective in teams that heavily rely on damage over time (DoT) strategies. Although players are not obligated to limit themselves to these teams, they undeniably offer the optimal environment for Kafka to excel in.This team composition features non-limited characters that players can get in all the gacha banners at any time.
DPS 1: Kafka
DPS 2: Luka/Sampo
Support: Pela
Tank: Any
Sampo excels in battles against individual targets due to his powerful skill, Ricochet Love, which can strike the same enemy multiple times. Additionally, his Ultimate increases the damage taken by enemies from Damage over Time effects, making him an obvious choice when using a Kafka team.
However, Luka can easily replace him when facing enemies vulnerable to Physical damage. The mechanics of the Bleed effect caused by Luka's skill can be a bit complex, but according to in-game terminology, each occurrence will deal either 24% of the enemy's maximum HP or 156% of Luka's ATK damage, whichever is lower. Either way, Kafka can activate this effect during her turn, resulting in shorter battles than usual.
Pela is the ideal choice for enhancing Kafka's damage in light of the diminishing returns of ATK% scaling. With her ability to decrease resistances and eliminate debuffs, she becomes an indispensable asset in any team composition.
Regarding the team's tank, the decision ultimately rests with the players. Nonetheless, incorporating the Trend of the Universal Market Light Cone could prove advantageous as it has the potential to inflict Burn on enemies, further amplifying Kafka's Damage over Time (DoT) effects.
The Stellaron Hunters
Unlike the previous team, this one is quite costly to maintain due to the need for a complete team of 5-star units, although one of them can be obtained for free. It deviates from Kafka's primary function as a Damage over Time (DoT) facilitator, but the team's overall synergy compensates for this flaw, rendering the missed chance inconsequential.
Primary Damage Dealer: Kafka
DPS 2: Blade
Support: Silver Wolf
Tank: Fire Trailblazer
Whether it's a coincidence or not, the Stellaron Hunters showcase remarkable synergy amongst themselves. Silver Wolf possesses the ability to negate an enemy's elemental resistances, while Blade and Kafka join forces to efficiently eliminate targets. Whenever Blade lands a strike with his enhanced basic attacks, foes will endure significant Wind damage and be further assailed by Kafka's subsequent assaults. Additionally, Kafka's machine pistols have the potential to inflict Shock upon enemies upon impact, setting them up for explosive detonation.
Fire Trailblazer is not only aligned with the team's theme but also stands out as one of the game's top tanks. Additionally, equipped with the Trend of the Universal Market Light Cone, they possess the ability to inflict Burn.
Honkai: Star Rail was made available on April 26th, 2023, catering to PC and mobile device users. The game is currently in the process of being developed for PS4 and PS5 platforms.
