Players may wonder if they should pull for Mydei inHonkai: Star Rail3.1 if they already have access to Blade, thanks to leaks that highlight how the new character may operate in combat. Mydei, along with Tribbie, is confirmed to be a new playable unit arriving with Version 3.1.Mydei is a 5-star Imaginary character who follows the Path of the Destruction. This alone is enough to create speculations on his role as a possible DPS. However, the start of the Version 3.1 beta tests has also brought forth leaks, including details aboutMydei’s kit inHonkai: Star Rail.
As a Destruction character, Mydei is already rumored to be somewhat similar to Blade in the sense that he should also be a main DPS unit in team comps.Most Destruction characters tend to be damage-dealers that put themselves at risk, with HP-consuming mechanics or taunting and, in return, are capable of dealing devastating amounts of damage and keeping themselves in the battle– meanwhile, DPS characters from other Paths, such as Feixiao and Boothil, tend to be a bit more fragile and rely more heavily onsustain characters inHonkai: Star Railto keep them alive during battles.
Mydei May Be An HP-Scaler In Honkai: Star Rail, Like Blade
Reports Say The Chrysos Heir May Have Over 20,000 Max HP
Aside from the similarities that stem from the Path they follow,Mydei and Blade may also be alike in the sense that they are both HP scalers. According to the aforementioned leaks about Mydei’s kit, which can be better seen onHoney Hunter World, the character is expected to deal damage to enemies based on his Max HP. His base HP may even be a bit higher than Blade’s. The leaks show that Mydei has 1,552 Max HP (at level 80), whileBlade inHonkai: Star Railhas 1,358 Max HP (at level 80).
Honkai Star Rail 3.1 Leaks: Free 4-Star Character Is A Huge Disappointment
Honkai: Star Rail 3.1 may offer players a free 4-star character in an upcoming event, but the leaked selection of units is quite a disappointment.
Furthermore, the leaks about Mydei’s kit show that he constantly consumes his own HP to deal damage to opponents. This is something that Blade already does as part of his regular rotation, which sparks some doubts about just how similar they may be.Some of the rumors also point toward the possibility of Mydei having over 20,000 Max HP during battles, a high Max HP score that may rival and even surpass Blade’s, who already tends to have a high Max HP marker, which allows him to deal a massive amount of damage to his opponents inHonkai: Star Rail.
How Mydei Will Work In Honkai: Star Rail 3.1, According To Leaks
The Character’s Entire Leaked Kit Revolves Around HP Loss
As seen in his leaked kit, Mydei’s Skill will have him consume a portion of his HP to deal damage to a selected enemy and adjacent targets.His rumored Talent sees Mydei accumulate Charge whenever he loses HP and, when Charge is full, he enters the Vendetta state, which restores his HP and advances his action. Mydei also becomes immune to Crowd Control effects, gains a temporary buff to his Max HP, retains 0 DEF, and increases the possibility of being targeted by enemies. During Vendetta, his Skill is enhanced and he enters anauto-battle mechanic inHonkai: Star Rail.
The leaks say that his Skill is enhanced to Kingslayer Be King.
This enhanced Skill consumes a smaller portion of his HP to deal more damage to opponents than it would regularly do. This ability is rumored to be automatically used and players are unable to use his Basic Attacks. During Vendetta, the game will also keep a tally of his HP loss.When this tally reaches 180% of Mydei’s Max HP, his action is advanced and his Skill is enhanced further, becoming Godslayer Be God, clearing an amount equal to 180% of Mydei’s Max HP from the tally. This enhanced Skill deals even more damage than previously.
According to the leak,Mydei’s Ultimate inHonkai: Star Railrestores a portion of his HP and deals damage to an enemy and adjacent targets, taunting them all for one turn.The rumors say that if his Ultimate is used during the Vendetta state, it increases the tally of HP loss by a portion of his current Max HP. A leak by Shiroha was posted onReddit, highlighting his possible passives. Mydei’s first passive Trace allows him to survive lethal damage with 1 HP when he is in the Vendetta state, forcing him to leave Vendetta and restore some HP.
Honkai Star Rail 3.1 Leaks: Should You Save Pulls For Mydei Or Tribbie?
Mydei and Tribbie are the confirmed 5-star characters arriving in Honkai: Star Rail 3.1 and leaks have provided details about their kits.
Mydei’s second rumored Trace allegedly increases his CRIT Rate based on a portion of his Max HP.His third leaked passive Trace says that, in the Vendetta state, the tally of HP loss accumulates at an increased rate when he is attacked. Overall, it seems like Mydei’s entire kit revolves around his high Max HP score and gambling with HP loss to deal more damage, not unlike Blade, the 5-star Wind character on the Path of the Destruction.
Mydei May Be Very Similar To Blade In Honkai: Star Rail
The Amphoreus Character May Be A Powercreep To The Stellaron Hunter
Based on what has been leaked from his kit so far, Mydei may be similar to Blade in more ways than one.Not only do they reportedly share high Max HP stats that dictate the power of their attacks, but both units are capable of enhancing a certain ability in their kit; Mydei’s leaks indicate he can enhance his Skill, while Blade is known for enhancing his Basic Attack. Like the reports about Mydei, Blade also keeps a tally of hisHP loss inHonkai: Star Rail, which then comes into play to deal more damage with his Ultimate.
Honkai Star Rail 3.1 Leaks: Herta’s Store May Get A Much-Needed F2P Update
A new F2P 5-star Light Cone has been leaked for Honkai: Star Rail, showing that Herta’s Store will receive an exciting new update in the patch.
Another key point that seems to be shared among the characters’ kits, as indicated by the leaks, is that they are both capable of restoring their own HP in a way to counter their risky HP-loss mechanic directly. While this type of mechanic does put them at risk, they are both a bit less reliant on sustain characters like healers. So far, it seems like Mydei may be an up-to-date alternative to Blade, but there is a possibility that the newAmphoreus character fromHonkai: Star Railwill actually be a powercreep.
Shielders impede Blade and Mydei from losing HP from enemy attacks, which affects their tally and, therefore, their damage output.
This is due to the reports saying that Mydei may have over 20,000 Max HP– with some rumors even saying he can reach 30,000 Max HP. If either of these leaks are accurate, Mydei’s Max HP will be unprecedented. Even top-tier and well-built Blade units tend to have around 7,000 - 7,500 Max HP, which is not even half of what Mydei is reported to have. Of course the rumors about Mydei’s Max HP may not be referent to his build, but how much he can reach once he enters the Vendetta state.
Nevertheless, the numbers are much higher, and this could make him much stronger than Blade’s best builds. For now, the leaks should be considered with caution, as they may be incorrect or subject to change. Even so, it seems like Mydei is building up to be more powerful than Blade, which should come as no surprise considering how many releases have been powercreeps. Overall, it does seem like a good idea to invest in Mydei, even if players already have Blade, as the Chrysos Heir may become one of the strongest DPS inHonkai: Star Rail.
