Should You Pull For Tribbie Or Mydei In Version 3.1 In Honkai: Star Rail?

by

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m thrilled about the upcoming update for Honkai: Star Rail! In this latest version 3.1, two exciting new 5-star units are set to join the game – Tribbie and Mydei. Their roles in version 3.0 have left us anticipating their arrival, and from the sneak peeks we’ve gotten during the 3.1 livestream, I can hardly wait!

For free-to-play gamers like myself, deciding who to pull for a 5-star unit can be quite perplexing, given the limited resources. Here’s a comprehensive guide that I found incredibly helpful in making the right choice when spending your valuable Stellar Jades. This guide will ensure you make the most out of your hard-earned in-game currency!

All the information provided here is from the livestream and doesn’t have any leaked information.

Why You Should Pull For Tribbie

In simpler terms, Tribbie is an exceptional 5-star Quantum Harmony unit that boosts the power of its teammates and increases their attack potential. During gameplay demonstrations, it was observed that Tribbie fires a rocket to damage enemies and establish a field. While this field persists, enemies will sustain heightened damage from allied forces.

Beyond that, it’s worth noting that Tribbie can boost her allies, although the specifics of this boost were not detailed. However, it was emphasized that Tribbie is capable of inflicting greater damage on the enemy with the most remaining health. The extent of this damage increases with the number of enemies present in the field; the more enemies, the higher the damage dealt.

It’s important to note that although Tribbie is the primary character, she works with two others named Trianne and Trinnon. In the gameplay you experience, Tribbie and her companions occasionally come into play during her ultimate ability.

In summary, Tribbie initiates another strike whenever a team member unleashes their Ultimate move. This feature offers numerous chances for strategic team construction as various game characters complement follow-up attacks.

The Tribbie Difference

What sets Tribbie apart as a standout unit is her unique combination of dealing damage and functioning as a Harmony character. Unlike other Harmony units like Ruan Mei, Sunday, and Robin who primarily provide powerful boosts to their allies, Tribbie offers an additional ability: she dishes out follow-up damage and deals extra harm to enemies with the highest health remaining.

With this, you’ll find clearing content much swifter, and you’ll have ample room to customize your team structure. For example, if Tribbie excels in dealing damage, you could opt for two Harmony units rather than one, and finish off the opponents with a healer. Furthermore, since enemies take increased damage when her field is active, the lone DPS member on your team will effortlessly breeze through all types of content, even the extremely challenging Memory of Chaos.

Because Tribbie can retaliate whenever a team member unleashes their ultimate skill, she works particularly effectively alongside characters such as Lingsha, Feixiao, The Herta, and Aglaea. In fact, any team that can rapidly deploy multiple ultimate abilities will complement Tribbie exceptionally well.

If you choose Tribbie, you’ll need to construct her with the appropriate stats that are essential for a Harmony unit and a damage-per-second (DPS) character. Optimizing her build might require some time, but it will prove to be a valuable investment in the long run.

Why You Should Pull For Mydei

Mydei is an Imaginary Combat Unit specialized in dealing heavy destruction, drawing from his Health Points (HP) as a resource to amplify his attack power. You might visualize him similar to Blade, but with significantly enhanced capabilities in terms of strength and damage potential. According to the livestream, Mydei is expected to possess immense HP when engaged in combat, using it to attack enemies forcefully by depleting his own health and inflicting massive harm.

Whenever he suffers HP loss, be it from self-inflicted actions or enemy attacks, he accumulates stacks up to a specific limit. Once he reaches that limit, he becomes empowered and unleashes massive damage on all his foes. Lastly, when Mydei employs his ultimate ability, he restores his own health while replenishing the stacks as well.

In its upgraded form, Mydei experiences a decrease in DEF while his Health Points (HP) surge dramatically. As his HP decreases, his abilities grow more potent. During the live stream, it was observed that when Mydei falls, he self-resuscitates. Although the specifics are unclear, it appears that Mydei possesses a self-revival mechanism in his toolkit, which will enhance his survivability.

The Mydei Difference

In a refreshing turn of events, the introduction of Mydei as an HP scaling unit is set to revitalize the game that currently thrives with ATK scaling units. Initially, during the inaugural season of the game, a number of top Destruction units emerged, including Blade, Jingliu, and Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae. However, their dominance was overshadowed as the game’s meta evolved towards Break Effect, giving rise to characters such as Firefly and Acheron.

Furthermore, the introduction of subsequent characters such as Feixiao, who boasted immense single-target damage capabilities, effectively sealed off the Destruction DPS units’ role in the game. Now, Mydei aims to resurrect the Destruction meta once more. With Break receiving a substantial nerf and Firefly losing much of her strength, the end-game playstyle will undergo a transformation as a result.

Beyond that, it’s worth noting that even when Mydei takes damage and loses HP, he isn’t fragile because he has the ability to heal himself. This makes him quite independent or self-reliant. In essence, you can form a team with any healer and Mydei alone will lead you triumphantly through the toughest challenges in the game.

Consequently, this implies that you’ll need to invest significantly in building up Mydei, as he relies heavily on High Potency from his Relics and Ornaments, with an emphasis on both Critical Rate and Critical Damage. If you possess Sunday, he will synergize wonderfully with Mydei or any other Harmony unit like Bronya or Robin, who can amplify his damage potential.

Pull For The Character You Like

Both Tribbie and Mydei are exceptional characters, each bringing a significant influence to the gameplay environment (meta). While Tribbie is a Harmony unit with hybrid Damage Per Second (DPS) capabilities, Mydei is a Destruction unit focused entirely on dealing damage as DPS. Ultimately, your preference and current account needs will determine which one suits you best.

If you find yourself without options like Sunday or Robin, then Tribbie might be a superior choice for you. Similarly, if Acheron or Feixiao aren’t available to you, Mydei could prove to be an ideal fit. Yet, it’s crucial to bear in mind that what works best now may lose its power over time as the meta continues to evolve and change.

As a dedicated fan, I can’t stress enough the importance of pulling for characters that resonate with you most in Honkai: Star Rail. Given its reputation for power-creeping, it’s easy to get caught up in chasing after the latest meta characters. However, this pursuit can become tiresome, especially when playing a free-to-play game like Honkai: Star Rail where Stellar Jades are not easily obtained and you can only pull for two new characters every patch. This approach might lead to frustration rather than enjoyment, as the game doesn’t provide enough resources to keep up with the ever-evolving meta. Instead, I recommend focusing on the characters that bring you joy and make your gaming experience more rewarding.

If you’re rooting for the character you prefer, not only will you conserve resources, but the meta (overall strategy or status of a game) will become irrelevant to you because you’ll be engrossed in what you possess in your inventory and find pleasure in it.
