Kafka honkai star rail

Kafka is one of the most sought-after characters in Honkai Star Rail. While she is yet to be introduced as a character in the game, players have seen glimpses of her in the game.

Kafka will join the game in the second phase of the 1.2 update. In the game, she is a popular Stellaron Hunter, and the announcement of her arrival will compel players to save her Stellar Jade when she comes into the game.

Kafka is expected to be an extremely powerful character that will follow the Nihility Path. She is likely to add more value to the game once she is added to the game because of the debuffing abilities of her path.

Let us take a look at her abilities that make her worth having at the party.

Role and limitations of Kafka in Honkai Star Rail?

If players have characters whose Damage over Time (DoT) increases, then it is best to have Kafka in their party. It is to be noted that Kafka is a “meta-breaking” character. Utilization of her abilities can literally make or break a fight. If players maximize their resources, the party will be unbreakable.

Kafka’s role revolves around providing a buff to her party. However, if players don’t have characters whose DoT increases periodically, they can consider skipping Kafka from their party.
