How to Maximize your DOTs! Ultimate DOT Guide for Kafka and Others! Honkai Star Rail

Me looking for a another team comp since i solely relied on seele and missed all 5* from silver wolf to imbibitor(lost 50/50 to gepard not regretting it tho thicc shield)

Ya know what sucks, I've been getting God Rolls of Crit Rate and Crit Dmg Artifacts..but the ONE time I want ATK and effect rate it's avoiding me like the plague. Seeing these god-rolls on Artifacts I DON'T need them on is making me want to cry..

I really really appreciate your guide ( but not the simping for kafka)

i like to run a hypercarry kafa team where im using tingyun and asta + 1 healer. Asta passive at max lvl give you 60% atk bonus which let tingyu have more atk so you can buff more atk for kafka so she can hit like a trunk while have decent DOT. Easy MoC 10 btw

Bro you actually missed Arlan's doggo Peppy dot damage wtf

pp
iyvb

i really don't know what am i doing wrong, i'm lucky if my kafka deals like 15k of total DoT.......

Me just playing with characters I like + 1 healer : "Okay... 👍"

I guess I just wonder when it's actually better to put break effect on a character over any other stats?

Anyone here while waiting for the maintenance to end?

I thought DoT was Damage over Thicc

guys, i need your opinion
in long term run, maybe 1 year or 2 years ahead
which team/character still good to use or meta? just opinion tho
no false/rejection
opinion from iwintolosegaming will be greatly appreciated

you sick?you sound different

My tema rn is bailu Kafka sw sampo/tinyun

Dot: Dominating over those.
(Those): Kafka simps

when someone asked for a DoT guide and you refer them here but the replies are this is a PVP build guide 🤦

Maan.. this was a great detailed explanation of DoT and all the possible variables that could affect the final output 🙌 Kudos for you man 💪🎉

The counter to enemies taking more turns. Is have the team or kafka take more. Therefore more follow up, ult and skilll use.

Not genshin. Better title?

I don’t like sampo or luka so I’m going to play Kafka with silver wolf and tingyun until another dot nihility I like comes out

For me, i increased kafka Break effect and effect hit rate more than her crit.
And atk% over lightning atk%, since her DoT based on her Attack, not her lightning attack. And thats it.

And enemy just die. I dont really care about statistics in general. Since to me, if enemy ded, is ded.

DoTs of HSR are quite bad in general. Every reasonably challenging content enemy hits like a truck or does something bad in their turn. (e.g. SU bosses ramp damage over time. Or you have to clear Halls in least amount of turns.)
So you naturally want to have as much turns for yourself(damage or recovery) and as few turns for enemy. DoTs make you go other direction but do not compensate enough for turns lost.
Only time I had fun with dots was lucky full 22xNihility buffs run in SU. Tons of dots ramping over time and recovering you in a process. That was proper niche elite killer strategy.
Otherwise there were never reason to use DoTs over pure damage. Kafka might have multipliers but still feels bad to play at high level. I mean play for results, not observe booty bay.

I don't have Tingyun, could she be replaced with Bronya?

Bro I'm gonna cry this is so fucking harder than my physics lessons

Very good explanation thank you

Kafka is op dot. You can combi with any types of dot provider and she just burst the damage output

slowing enemies would also be not that bad since kafka can activate them which means you can drop some free damage

One cool way to expand DoT teams' elemental coverage would be to make an Ice Nihility character who can apply a unique ice DoT (in the same way erode is a unique lightning DoT), as well as having a freeze. Thus, they could add DoTs for Kafka to trigger, as well as strengthening the team's overall DoT damage by causing more triggers through freeze's AV boost.

can u make a dps showdown with candace, xingqiu and kokomi?

Hey Boss, we are all eagerly waiting for the guide about Luka. Any chance of a release in the coming days?

Your guides are the best!

how about the shampo light cone increase DOT by 36% (SP3) does that mean damage or what?

so the base scale to improve DOT is by improving attack along side with EHR with minimum 30%?
and the lightcone need to be scale DOT percentage?

i will have to get sw lc later on

She is already broken. Imagine she can stack her shocks

Bleed affect by %be?

dot is fun and i enjoy play dot kafka

Question my dudes

Would it be better to have Kafka Luka Sampo Healer/Shield

Or swap out Sampo for a resistance shred/support like SW or Yukong or Tingyun?

Aka is it better to have more types of dots or more buffs

Why is it so funny when he says ' a sweaty lightcone' 💀💀💀

Didn’t think I’d get Kafka but she came home at 18 pity 🥺 I already have sampo built so I think I’ll run her with him, luocha and maybe fire mc or jing yuan

So which is better to use lightning damage bonus planar sphere or attack% sphere?

Luochas E6 COn cons adds all res down by 20% for 2 turns

You missed one thing,the fact that f2p players exist and that the don't have Silver wolf,or her light cone,and are just f2p in general.But it's okay,actualy realy nice to see that Kafka is f2p friendly,and realy broken.👍

I'm most likely gonna use OHE Top on Gepard so he can keep freezing them. Does the DOT light cone for Gepard override the burn DOT from Asta or does it stack? I haven't tested it out yet but if anyone tried it out let me know plz =]

Man i love this video, very informative and helpful!

If only she came home to my account though 😢

Waiting for nihility healer with a talent that heal when the Dot proc. 😂 I wish there's one.

Its just sad that burn is a bad dot.

does Entanglement dmg didn't count as DoT dmg?

Okay i luv the shiny sweaty light cone :v
