There’s no doubt that Firefly is one of the fan favorites inHonkai: Star Rail. However, SAM’s ability to act as a Destruction character while Breaking enemies’ Toughness and causing chaos with the extra SPD is not the reason. The reason is thePenacony story quest that touched many of her fansand allowed them to see the other side of the Iron Cavalry Knight.
During her banner, some of her fans might wonder if it’s worth it to pull for Firefly multiple times and collect her Eidolons. For that, this guide will dive deep into her Eidolons and answer if it’s worth it to getFirefly Eidolons inHonkai: Star Rail.
Are Firefly Eidolons Worth it in Honkai: Star Rail?
Firefly is extremely strong without her Eidolons, yet her Eidolons put her in the realm of broken characters in the meta. So, yes,getting Firefly’s Eidolons inHonkai: Star Railis worth it. Her first and second greatly increase the utility and strength of her Skills, while E6 Firefly focuses more on her Breaking.
Importance
E1
When using the Enhanced Skill, ignores 15% of the target’s DEF. And the Enhanced Skill does not consume Skill Points.
Priority
At E0, Firefly’s only issue is that she suffers with Skill Points. So, her E1 also solves that problem by stopping her from consuming SP when using her Skill, making her a very SP-friendly unit. Firefly heavily relies on her enhanced Skill to deal DMG and her E1 allows her to ignore 15% of enemies’ DEF. This isamazing for any DPS inHonkai: Star Rail.
E2
When using the Enhanced Basic ATK or the Enhanced Skill in Complete Combustion state to defeat an enemy target or cause them to be Weakness Broken, SAM immediately gains 1 extra turn. This effect can trigger again after 1 turn(s).
E2 Firefly doubles down on the no SP usage when using Skills, and allows her to spam her Skills without any restrictions. E2 is also one of SAM’s best Eidolons and allows the Iron Cavalry Knight toshine in anyHonkai: Star Railgame mode.
While in Complete Combustion, increases SAM’s Effect RES by 50%.
Low
Given how broken Firefly’s E1 and E2 are, it makes sense to have a very underwhelming Eidolon in her arsenal. When getting SAM’s E4, you’re justcasting an extra layer of protection, which Firefly doesn’t really need.
E6
While in Complete Combustion, increases SAM’s Fire RES PEN by 20%. When using the Enhanced Basic ATK or Enhanced Skill, increases the Weakness Break efficiency by 50%.
With E6 Firefly, most of your hits are going to one-shot enemies’ Toughness, considering Firefly already had an extra 50% Break Efficiency, and now her E6 gives her an extra 50. Not to mention, Firefly also gains another 50% Break Efficiency from Ruan Mei, which is one of her best Supports.
This is amazing for Firefly, especially because of her E2 that grants her the ability to play over and over again as long as she’s breaking enemies’ Toughness. Additionally, Firefly becomes a must-have in every Pure Fiction run since she won’t stop playing because of herability to break any Toughnesswith her attacks. And yes, the 20% Resistance penetration is amazing too.
