Unveiling the Revolutionary Honkai: Star Rail’s Argenti Kit
Honkai Impact 3rd’s latest update has introduced an exciting new concept to the game’s RPG experience – charge levels for certain skills. The Argenti kit, belonging to the Erudition character Argenti, takes this concept to the next level by incorporating an innovative talent that enhances his critical rate without the need for Relics. However, mastering the co-dependent nature of his skills can be a challenging and resource-intensive task.
At a glance, Argenti’s kit may seem straightforward for an Erudition character, but a closer look at his ultimate and talent reveals their true potential. With his talent raising his critical rate every time he damages enemies and his ultimate possessing two charge levels, Argenti offers a unique and dynamic playstyle in the game.
Let’s break down Argenti’s abilities and the scaling values associated with them at different levels:
Argenti’s Basic Attack: Fleeting Fragrance
Argenti inflicts physical damage to a single enemy equal to 50% – 130% of his attack.
Argenti’s Skill: Blazing Welcome
Argenti deals physical damage to all enemies on the field amounting to 60% – 150% of his attack.
Argenti’s Ultimate: For In This Garden Supreme
Argenti can spend 90 energy to unleash his skill, dealing physical damage to all enemies equivalent to 96% – 192% of his attack. Alternatively, he can wait until his energy reaches the maximum value of 180 to unleash his ultimate. At the second charge level, Argenti’s ultimate unleashes devastating physical damage to all enemies equal to 168% – 336% of his attack, accompanied by six additional random hits. These bonus attacks deal damage equal to 56% – 113% of Argenti’s attack.
Argenti’s Talent: Ethereal Metaflow
Argenti’s talent, Ethereal Metaflow, provides a significant boost to his overall performance. With every hit from his skill, basic attack, or ultimate, Argenti recovers three energy and gains a stack of Ascend. Each Ascend stack raises his critical rate by 1% – 3.2%, with the ability to stack up to 10 times. This talent empowers Argenti to unleash devastating critical hits on his enemies.
Argenti’s Technique: Impair
One of Argenti’s unique abilities is Impair. This technique causes enemies near Argenti to become dazed and unable to attack. When entering combat, Argenti deals damage equal to 80% of his attack to dazed enemies and recovers 10 energy. This technique provides both offensive and defensive advantages, leading to strategic gameplay options.
Argenti’s Bonus Abilities
Argenti possesses three bonus abilities obtained through unlocking milestone nodes on his Traces chart:
1. Piety: Argenti gains one stack of Ascend at the start of each turn, bolstering his critical rate further.
2. Generosity: Argenti recovers two energy whenever enemies enter the field, allowing for more frequent use of his devastating skills.
3. Courage: Argenti deals 15% more damage to enemies with 50% HP or less, making him especially effective against weakened opponents.
Optimizing Argenti’s Traces Priority
Determining the optimal Traces priority for Argenti may appear straightforward due to the nature of his kit. However, for maximum effectiveness, it is advisable to level up his abilities equally. The priority order, from highest to lowest, should be as follows:
- Talent
- Ultimate
- Skill
- Basic attack
While Argenti’s ultimate inflicts the most damage, his talent significantly enhances his critical hit rate, effectively amplifying the output from all his abilities. A fully stacked Ascend can provide a critical hit rate increase of up to 30% or more, allowing players to allocate Relics towards other stats or further raise Argenti’s critical hit rate. Balancing the leveling of his ultimate, skill, and talent can help offset the initially lower scaling values that commonly impact Erudition characters. Argenti’s ultimate serves as the primary damage-dealing ability, while his other skills play a crucial role in maintaining momentum during periods of energy recharge.
