Seele Active and Passive Skills

Seele is a 5-Star Quantum elemental character that is following the Path of Hunt. Seele is the first character to have a rate-up warp banner and for obvious reasons. Her abilities scream must have and must pull! She is a versatile DPS character that can increase her own speed while entering a “Buffed State”. She can go on a rampage by herself, as she gets an extra turn whenever she defeats an enemy with any of her abilities. Her Buffed State buff also allows her to gain more damage, easing the restrictions that many new players face in the early game when they do not have good gear to equip DPS characters with.

Honkai: Star Rail – Seele Character Guide

Players can recruit Seele through getting lucky on the Normal Warp Banner or the Rate-Up Warp Banner as of now. Seele’s official in-game lore states as follows – “A spirited and valiant member of Wildfire who grew up in the perilous Underworld of Belobog. She is accustomed to being on her own. As someone who once relied on others for protection, she now pursues strength. For the truth of the underground and her family’s name, Seele can endure any kind of adversity. The protectors and the protected, the oppressors and the oppressed… The world Seele grew up knowing was just a simple dichotomy…That is, until that young girl appeared.”

Seele Eidolon Bonuses

Players who have played Genshin Impact might be familiar with the Constellation system where the characters acquire different abilities when you feed their duplicate copies into them. Honkai: Star Rail has a similar system but it’s named “Eidolon” in the official in-game terminology. Whenever you summon a duplicate character in the Warp system, they will be converted into an Eidolon for the character. Eidolon can be enhanced up to 6 times at maximum. Each enhancement provides an upgraded ability or add-on effect to existing abilities. The 3rd and the 5th Eidolon enhancements always add base stat and ultimate ability boosts, respectively.
