The Amphoreus arc introduces a jam-packed cast of new playable characters, which includes the much-awaited Limited 5-star Imaginary-Destruction unit: Mydei. He was announced throughHonkai Star Rail’s drip marketing social media posts during Version 2.6 and made his appearance as an NPC in Version 3.0. Some players are already sold on him because of his looks and story. Those looking for a more objective reason to pull him are in luck, as a recent leak shows he could be one of the most devastating HP-based damage dealers in theHonkai: Star Rail.
Mydei is the Crown Prince and leader of the Kremnoan detachment in Castrum Kremnos, one of Amphoreus' major cities. He’s also known as the undying Mydeimos, which hints at his in-game abilities. Arecent leak by a reliable source named Hakush.inclaimed that Mydei’s kit uses his HP to enhance his attacks.
How Mydei’s HP-Based Damage Kit Fits in Honkai: Star Rail’s Meta
Mydei’s playstyle revolves around the use of his talent and ultimate to enhance his skill. Here’s a level 10 description of these abilities.
The ability descriptions for Mydei’s kit are based on leaked information at the time of writing. Therefore, players should expect changes to the character’s kit once he’s officially released.
Mydei Could be Blade’s Long-Awaited Successor
HSRveterans may have noticed that there hasn’t been a strong HP-based damage dealer sinceBlade and Jingliu, who have both fallen off the meta. Mydei seems to fill this gap better than both of the previous units. His built-in taunt ensures that enemies prioritize him as a target so he can lose HP and improve his damage efficiently. This is an ability that Blade sorely lacks. Mydei also has relatively better multipliers for his enhanced skill compared to Blade’s enhanced basic attack. Mydei’s HP loss tally system is superior, as he can use its bonus damage more consistently through his skill, compared to Blade, who can only use his HP tally bonuses during his ultimate.
Mydei Could be a Great Answer to HSR’s Fastest Bosses
It seems thatHonkai: Star Rail’s bosses are only getting faster and tankier with every update. Mydei could be the answer to these tough enemies, as his damage output only gets better as his HP gets shredded. Players looking for a risky, but rewarding gameplay should save theirStellar Jades and Star Rail Special Passesfor this unit. However, they should prepare to use him more in manual mode and get his ideal emergency healers like Luocha and Lingsha to maximize his damage without getting his HP into K.O. territory.
