We're not even halfway through the patch and fans are already planning it. Honkai: Star Rail Sunday and Fugue in version 2.7. Both supports are great for hypercarry/follow-up and break configurations. Both are interesting releases, but the element types are already very common. Sunday shares Imaginary with 9 other characters, and Fugue currently shares Fire with 10 people. Honkai: Star Rail It could make the overall roster more diverse, and it should start with an element that has seemingly been put on the back burner for nearly a year now.
When the character's type matches the enemy's weakness Honkai: Star RailThey deal toughness damage to the opponent. When the player depletes an enemy's toughness gauge, it deals weak point breaking damage and delays the enemy's actions for at least 1 turn. Friendly units deal slightly more damage to enemies with damaged weak points. Some elements also have special effects, such as damage over time and delaying further actions. Therefore, investing in different types of units is in the best interest of the player.

Honkai: Why Star Rail needs to expand its ice roster
Current number of ice characters high speed rail With just eight units, they are tied with the Lightning, followed by the Wind with seven units. The game has already given Wind and Lightning some love for Feixiao and Moze. So now it's time to do the same for Ice. There are many reasons to give this cool element the attention it deserves.
Ice's limited DPS units are rare
The Ice have a few useful four-star players like Pela and Herta. However, the latest limited edition release of Ruan Mei in version 1.6 almost a year ago lacks a good 5 stars. Since Ice's primary damage dealer Jinliu has recently fallen out of the meta, a new limited unit (preferably with DPS) for this elemental type is long overdue. Newer destruction characters like Firefly and Yunli can consistently deal better damage with fewer tradeoffs.
high speed rail Dan Heng We have yet to release a support unit that synergizes perfectly with Jingliu, such as Imbibitor Lunae's Sparkle or Acheron's Jiaoqiu. Unless you plan on doing so soon, you should add Jingliu's successor with the new Ice DPS. This archetype already has hunting and destruction characters, so it only makes sense for new damage dealers to follow the path of erudition. The 5-star Herta fits this category perfectly.
Ice's weakness break mechanic is one of the best in the game.
Here are some of the best ways to gain an advantage in turn-based role-playing games such as: high speed rail The idea is to either force your character to act as much as possible, delay the enemy's actions as much as possible, or both. Ice characters are the second category of specialists.
Ice units break weak points and freeze enemies. While your opponent is frozen, they cannot take any actions during that turn. If it thaws on your next turn, you will take additional ice damage and still be unable to act. However, the next turn will progress at 50%.
It would be interesting to see more modern characters take advantage of this weak point breaking effect. The new Ice DPS can deal massive damage or gain resources like additional energy when attacking frozen opponents. Like Welt's slow mechanic, the ability to extend an enemy's freeze or slow them down when thawed would also be interesting. Ice can also enter DOT (damage over time) territory by introducing a frostbite mechanism. This element has a lot of potential, so it deserves attention again. maybe Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.0 could bless Ice with some awesome new characters.
