Analysis of Dr. Ratio’s Gameplay and Abilities
Vars II delves into the gameplay and abilities of Dr. Ratio, a free character in Honkai: Star Rail. He discusses the skepticism surrounding free characters after the disappointment with Aloy in Genshin Impact. However, Vars II assures viewers that Ratio is a powerful unit and explores his skill, talents, and traces.
Ratio’s skill deals imaginary damage to a single enemy and has no additional effects. However, his talents and traces provide the real damage potential. Whenever Ratio uses a skill, he has a base chance of 40% to launch an additional follow-up attack, which increases by 20% for every debuff on the target. If the target dies from Ratio’s skill attack, the follow-up attack will target another enemy.
Ratio’s traces further enhance his damage output. His first trace grants him bonus damage against targets with three or more debuffs, up to a 50% increase. His second trace increases his CR rate and crit damage for every debuff on the target, up to six stacks. His third trace applies a debuff that reduces enemy effect resistance.
Vars II emphasizes that Ratio’s damage output is highly dependent on the number of debuffs on the target. He suggests pairing Ratio with optimal support characters to maximize his damage potential. Topaz is recommended for her 50% increase to follow-up attacks. Bronya, Red Mei, and Silver Wolf are also suggested as useful supports for different scenarios, such as sweeping through multiple enemies or sustained boss fights.
Vars II concludes that Ratio is a highly effective character, especially for endgame players. He notes that Ratio’s damage potential surpasses that of many other characters and suggests obtaining his weapon, Baptism of Pure Thought, to further enhance his damage output. He praises MiHoYo’s generosity in providing a strong free character and appreciates the unintentional humor in giving Ratio the title of “L Plus Ratio” after the Game Awards. Vars II encourages viewers to share their thoughts on Dr. Ratio in the comments and invites them to subscribe to his YouTube channel for more Honkai: Star Rail content.
