What is the meaning of DoT in Honkai Star Rail
DoT in Honkai Star Rail stands for "Damage Over Time," which causes damage to characters at the beginning of their turns, and several different sources can trigger them. The game features seven damage types, six of which induce DoT effects on Weakness Breaks.
Here are all the DoT effects in Honkai: Star Rail:
Freeze – Inflicted by Ice Damage.
Bleed – Inflicted by Physical Damage.
Burn – Inflicted by Fire Damage.
Shock – Inflicted by Lightning Damage.
Wind Shear – Inflicted by Wind Damage.
Entanglement – Inflicted by Quantum Damage.
A Weakness Break occurs when a character's white toughness bar is depleted by attacks of the corresponding damage type. By breaking an enemy’s toughness bar, players will have more control of the fight as enemies are more vulnerable to attacks and debuffs.
Some character abilities also inflict DoT effects on enemies. One example is Hook's "Hey! You Remember Hook?" ability where she inflicts burn damage to enemies equal to a percentage of her attack at the beginning of each turn.
