What Are Follow-Up Attacks in Honkai Star Rail?

Follow-up attacks are a unique mechanic in Honkai Star Rail that allows characters to act even though it’s not their turn.

Simply put, follow-up attacks are when characters attack automatically, regardless of turn order when certain conditions are met that vary based on the character.

Follow-Up Attacks Explained in Honkai Star Rail

Follow-Up Attacks Explained in Honkai Star Rai.

Follow-up attacks are an automatic mechanic in Honkai Star Rail that can only be triggered by certain characters.

This mechanic cannot be manually triggered by players and will occur whenever certain conditions are met that vary based on the character that performs the follow-up attack.

These attacks will ignore normal turn order and cast immediately when their conditions are met.

Keep in mind that Ultimate Skills are not considered follow-up attacks. Instead, let’s examine some examples of characters that do follow-up attacks.

Characters That Do Follow-Up Attacks

There are various characters that can do follow-up attacks in Honkai Star Rail. Here are all of them:

  • March 7th – Performs a follow-up attack when a shielded ally is attacked.
  • Himeko – Performs a follow-up attack when three enemies receive a Weakness Break.
  • Clara – Performs a follow-up attack when Clara is attacked, or when allies are attacked and Clara has used her Ultimate.
  • Herta – Performs a follow-up attack when an enemy’s HP goes below 50%.

Also, unreleased characters Kafka and Jing Yuan are expected to have follow-up attacks in their kit.

Thus, if you’re thinking of using any follow-up attack Blessings in the Simulated Universe, make sure to have the right party.

Alternatively, there are also Blessings like Champion’s Dinner: Cat’s Cradle that convert all Ultimates into follow-up attacks.
