In April 2025, “Honkai Impact 3: Star Railway” ushered in the highly anticipated version 3.2 update. This version brings two new five-star characters-Xiadie with quantum attributes and Nakexia with ice attributes. At the same time, it has made a number of optimization adjustments to the character activity transition, custom configuration, and redemption system. This article will conduct an in-depth analysis of the skill mechanism, combat positioning, matching recommendations, and version highlights of these two new characters to help pioneers master the core gameplay of the latest version.
1. New character Xiadie-a tactical master of life control and quantum resistance reduction
As the quantum memory destiny character of this version, Xiadie plays a very strategic role in battle with its unique “life sacrifice” mechanism and powerful resistance reduction effect.
1. Skill mechanism analysis
Xiadie’s core combat mechanism revolves around the summoning of “Memory Spirit Dead Dragon”. She can summon this auxiliary unit and continuously apply the “all-type resistance reduction” debuff to the enemy, greatly improving the overall output efficiency of the team. Its ultimate skill releases quantum damage in a range and causes a significant resistance reduction effect on the enemy, which is an important output bonus during the team’s burst period.
What’s more unique is that Xiadie can release more powerful quantum attacks by sacrificing part of her teammates’ health. This health control mechanism greatly tests the player’s control over the team’s life management, and also makes Xiadie’s skill release have extremely high strategic value.
2. Combat positioning and recommended lineup
Xiadie’s positioning is biased towards auxiliary output and field control ability. It is suitable for teammates with strong healing and shield abilities, such as Lingke and Pera, to ensure the safety of health management.
With output characters such as Huangquan and Wangguiren with quantum attributes, it can maximize the resistance reduction effect provided by Xiadie and achieve a qualitative change in burst damage. She is also suitable for pairing with Jiaoqiu to form a strong quantum linkage.
3. Practical skills
Release the ultimate skill reasonably: It is recommended to release it when the enemy is concentrated or at a critical moment to maximize the resistance reduction and range damage effect.
Team health management: Use the team’s treatment and shield to balance the cost of the butterfly’s health and maintain combat endurance.
Continuous resistance reduction coverage: Keep the summoning of the memory dragon and continue to suppress the enemy’s defense.
2. New character Na Ke Xia – Ice attribute intelligence, elemental weakness manufacturing expert
Nake Xia is an ice attribute five-star intelligence fate character with extremely strong elemental weakness application ability and range wind attribute output. It is an important auxiliary and output character in a multi-element linkage team.
1. Skill highlight analysis
Nake Xia’s skill feature is that through the “Wise Quartet” talent, it continuously applies various elemental weaknesses to the enemy. Its ultimate skill can apply seven elemental weaknesses to all enemies at once, greatly improving the damage efficiency of the team’s elemental reaction.
Its skills can not only cause bounce damage to a single enemy, but also trigger additional attacks and 60% damage bonus, ensuring excellent performance in both group battles and single battles.
2. Recommended lineup
Nakexia is suitable for combination with Danheng (fire attribute), Xiluwa (thunder attribute), Doctor of Truth (auxiliary treatment), etc. to form a powerful multi-element linkage team. Its elemental weakness application mechanism allows the output character to frequently trigger elemental reactions, greatly increasing damage.
In addition, his multi-target bounce skill makes it very efficient when clearing miscellaneous soldiers and facing group enemies.
3. Practical strategy
Maintain elemental weakness coverage: Use Nakexia’s attacks to continuously stack weaknesses to ensure that the enemy is always in a weakened state.
Skill release timing: Prioritize the release of the ultimate skill when the enemy gathers or at a critical stage to achieve the maximum range and burst effect.
Cooperate with high burst output: Cooperate with characters with strong elemental reaction skills to maximize output efficiency.
III. System optimization and activity content introduction of version 3.2
1. Optimization of character activity transition
Version 3.2 adds a custom function for character activity transition. Players can choose 7 non-limited five-star characters to participate, greatly improving strategic flexibility. The first batch supports powerful characters such as Fu Xuan, Blade, and Xier, bringing more possibilities for lineup matching.
2. Star Convergence Store Update
Through the golden companion star, players can redeem limited five-star characters Ruan Mei (ice attribute), Luosha (imaginary attribute) and a variety of resources, which is convenient for character development and resource allocation.
3. Rich benefits for the two-year anniversary celebration
Sign-in rewards: Sign in for 7 days cumulatively to get a large number of rewards such as Star Track Special Tickets and Ancient Dreams.
Friend Blessing System: Pioneers can invite friends to send blessings and get rich props and fuel.
First recharge reward reset: recharge gift packages have been greatly improved, bringing more benefits to new and old players.
IV. Comprehensive evaluation and gameplay suggestions
1. Character training priority
Xiadie is suitable for priority training due to its unique life control and resistance reduction capabilities, especially for players who like quantum systems and strategic depth gameplay.
Na Ke Xia is suitable for players with multi-element linkage, improving the output ability of the overall team, and is an excellent choice for intellectual attributes.
2. Suggestions for lineup construction
The Xiadie lineup needs to focus on life recovery and shield to ensure the safe release of skills.
The Naksha lineup needs the support of various elemental characters to ensure the continuous superposition of elemental weaknesses and efficient reaction triggering.
3. Reasonable allocation of resources
Use the rich rewards obtained from version activities to prioritize the cultivation of new characters, arrange the use of materials reasonably, and improve the efficiency of cultivation.
Conclusion
The 3.2 version of Xiadie and Naksha injects new vitality and strategic depth into the combat system of “Honkai Impact 3: Star Dome Railway”. Whether you are a quantum master who likes to control life and reduce resistance, or an intellectual master who is good at creating elemental weaknesses, you can find a gameplay that suits you in this version. With the system optimization and anniversary activities, pioneers have more opportunities to improve their combat effectiveness and explore the mysteries of the Star Track world.
