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

I go over how damage over time, AKA DOTs work, the entire damage formula and all the variables in it, and explain how you can increase your DOT damage in Honkai Star Rail. I also have a chart for all sources of character DOTs in the game and explain how Break DOTs work. I demonstrate how to maximize Kafka's DOT as well.

Kafka's Dot is called Dominate over time.

Me watching the 30th Kafka guide knowing damn well I don't have the will to employ what I learn: 👁️👄👁️ interesting

"DoTs don't snapshot" That is in my opinion the most important part of this video (for min-maxers) and it went by in like 3 seconds :D

[bigbabybrent]

I’m playing HSR much more casually these days, but I will always enjoy watching IWTL videos. I can’t get enough of the chill and relaxing vibes. Appreciate you IWTL

[karsnogen]

I think a point you should add, is that these DoTs just like buffs and debuffs in the game will only refresh the duration when applied again during the duration. This means that for example, serval applies shock with skill(2 turns) then ult before the enemy moves, extends it to (4 turns), if serval use skill again, the shock DoT will refresh back to 2 turns. I guess this is only important for Serval as she's the onlu one that can extend DoTs(for now)

Anyone else just get enough just simply looking at Kafka? From her walk to her fighting, I simply can't stop looking

10/10 guide, explained everything like to monkeys. Love it :D

It’s going to take a while to have Kafka, Sampo and Luka built for that DOT team..

[insanecurity]

I would love to build Sampo to maximize my Kafka damage but after building Kafka I have 7 credits, 2 ascension books and half a relic left :)

This was a LOT of good info for me. I didn't know there were so many ways to increase DoT damage, and it makes for a surprising amount of flexibility.

8:01 Kafka's talent applies shock as well!

[forgottenepics]

some of the kind of content that brought me to IWtL in the first place, keep up the good work 😍Have basically answered all the small questions that i've had while learning more about the game, and taught me even more!

Love the channel and content, and keep it up, IWtL 🙌

[jonathangimenez]

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

4:50 For resistance shred, the quantum 4 piece set will give u 20% resistance shred if u are against a enemy with lightning weakness on Kafka

[BruceSpringsteen]

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

[minhptm]

4:46 i think loucha E6 "When Ultimate is used, there is a 100% fixed chance to reduce all enemies' All-Type RES by 20% for 2 turn(s)" all type may apply to DoT dam

[elizabethhoran]

4:45 im pretty sure himikos overworld skill lowers fire resistance

[tapioca]

electro's becoming the cryo/pyro of early genshin

[shaifs]

Very good guide. You took time to thoroughly explain how things work. This is very helpful.
