Black Swan is an upcoming character in Honkai Star Rail’s Patch 2.0 (Penacony update). She is expected to be a top-tier damage over time (DoT) damage dealer based on the 2.0 Closed Beta Test’s (CBT) leaks. Her kit synergizes well with Kafka and we can expect her to be a vast improvement over Sampo in existing DoT teams. If you want to check out our kit, here’s a quick summary of all of her skills.
Honkai Star Rail Black Swan Leaked Kit
Basic Attack: Percipience, Silent Dawn
Deals Wind DMG equal to 60% of Black Swan's ATK and has a 65% base chance to inflict a stack of Sacrament on the target. If the target is in Wind Shear, Bleeding, Burning, or Shocked state, each debuff has a 65% base chance to inflict an additional stack of Sacrament.
Skill: Decadence, False Twilight
Deals Wind DMG equal to 90% of Black Swan's ATK to a single enemy and any adjacent targets, with a 100% base chance to inflict 1 stack of Sacrament to the attacked enemies and a 100% base chance to lower the attacked enemies' DEF by 20.8%, lasting for 3 turns.
Ultimate: Bliss of Otherworld's Embrace
Deals Wind DMG equal to 120% of Black Swan's ATK to all enemies and inflicts Epiphany on them for 2 turn(s).
Enemies affected by Epiphany take 25% more damage in their turn, and their Sacrament effect is regarded as Wind Shear, Bleed, Burn, and Shock effects. In addition, when their Sacrament effect is triggered at the beginning of the next turn, the Sacrament stacks are not reset. The stack reservation effect can be triggered up to 1 time(s) during the Epiphany duration, and its charges are replenished when Epiphany is applied again.
Talent: Loom of Fate's Caprice
Every time an enemy target receives DoT at the start of each turn, there is a 65% base chance for it to be inflicted with Sacrament.
While afflicted with Sacrament, enemy targets receive Wind DoT equal to 240% of Black Swan's ATK. Each stack of Sacrament increases this DMG multiplier by 12%. Then Sacrament resets to 1 stack. Sacrament can stack up to 99 times.
Only when Sacrament deals DMG at the start of an enemy target's turn, Black Swan triggers additional effects based on the number of Sacrament stacks inflicted on the target:
When having 3 or more Sacrament stacks, deals Wind DoT equal to 180% of Black Swan's ATK to adjacent targets, with a 65% base chance of inflicting 1 stack of Sacrament on adjacent targets.
When having 7 or more Sacrament stacks, enables the current DoT dealt this time to ignore 20% of the target's DEF and adjacent targets' DEF.
Technique: From Façade to Vérité
After using the Technique, at the beginning of the next battle, there is a 150% base chance to inflict a stack of Sacrament on each enemy. If Sacrament is successfully inflicted on any enemy, this effect will be repeated on the affected enemies until it fails to inflict Sacrament on any of them. The re-trigger rate for Sacrament is equal to 50% of the previous trigger rate.
Bonus Ability
