Midei in Honkai Star Rail: Best Build and Squad Build Guide | 5⭐ False 💫

Guide to Midea in HSR looks at how to build a Legendary-type Path of Destruction and one of the "Golden Descendants" that follow the prophecy in Amphoreus's "Eternal Land" story campaign. The hero is the primary DPS character, dealing with groups of enemies and single opponents. The core mechanics revolve around building up combat potential through health consumption.

Accumulates levels during combat "Charge", resorts to automatic use of enhanced skill types and plays out from a special state "Blood feud", in which the hero's overall HP increases, while defense, on the contrary, decreases to zero. As a result, it requires fairly good from the Abundance character, while the mechanics do not allow cooperation with Preservation units.

The requirements for the selection of appropriate equipment increase to a similar extent: the character needs serious investments in "health", at the same time the importance of attack-type characteristics does not disappear. The guide to Midei fully takes into these aspects and offers the most attractive builds that allow him to realize his own power without any third-party problems.

Midei's biography in Honkai: Star Rail

Midei of Honkai: Star Rail is the last prince of Mideimos the Immortal, one of the Golden Descendants who hunts for the Core of the Flame of Discord. He is the incarnation of the Titan of Catastrophe. Nicadora, otherwise known as the "Spear of Fury."

In the trailer for the golden epic "Tales of the Heroes of Amphoreus", Midei is presented as the heir to the throne, spilling the blood of enemies in the name of the crown. His main goal within the prophecy is to kill the king with a sword sprinkled with the blood of Kremnos. The immortality of the hero, which all Zlatius have, can be called a "burdensome burden", because because of it, the man is doomed to live forever, endlessly hunting his enemies.

From the announcement and presentation of Midey:

"O immortal Mideimos, lion without a pride, you will survive a thousand deaths, return home covered in blood and bear the madness of your fate alone, for one must kill a king to become a king, one must kill a god to become a god."

Basic skills

The main feature of Midea, as a representative of the "Destruction" class, is mechanics of absorbing one's own health in favor of increasing combat power. Due to this, it can be compared with the legendary Arlan (Destruction: Electric), which have similar functionality if we consider their capabilities.

During the battle, using skills or taking damage, the character accumulates levels of "Charge", subsequently enters an enhanced state of "Blood Feud" and begins to use one of the advanced types of skills:

• "Kill the king to become king" - costs HP;
• "Kill a god to become a god" - costs "Charges".

During "Blood Feud", each of the listed skills applied by Midey automatically, and his defense indicators are reduced to 0, which can make him a very inconvenient DPS character for completing high-level updated modes. The HP absorption mechanic, in turn, turns the man into a hero who is quite demanding of Abundance representatives, which narrows the range of s used in squads.

As a result, exhausting battles force you to fight on a permanent basis. monitor Midey's health: Despite the fact that the "Blood Feud" state allows the character to literally ignore fatal damage once per battle, it is not recommended to do so. The reason is the cumulative levels of "Charge": if the character loses the benefits of the special status, he will reset the existing number of effects, and their number will have to be increased again.

Active skills

Active skills include:

• basic attack - deals minor damage of imaginary type;
• skill - consumes HP and deals significant damage to the selected enemy, as well as a small percentage of damage to targets adjacent to the main enemy;
• superpower - restores health and offers additional "Charge" points, then attacks the selected target and those adjacent to it, while imposing the negative "Taunt" status on them;
• technique - applies "Stun" and, when entering combat, "Taunt", offers additional "Charge" points and deals fixed damage to the area.

In the following paragraphs, we will analyze how Midei's abilities work, focusing in more detail on each listed skill.

Complete defeat cell

Technique "Cell of Total Defeat" || Mass attack, negative status on enemies

After using the technique, it attracts enemies in a certain area and applies "Dizziness" to them (effect duration - 10 seconds), which can be equated to the "Stun" status, since enemies under the negative effect cannot attack allies.

If the character attacks enemies under the "Dizziness" effect, then upon entering combat he will deal imaginary damage equal to 80% from the max value of your own HP. Additionally, the affected targets will be inflicted with "Taunt" for 1 move, and Midey himself will receive 50 units of "Charge".

The Vow of Travel

Basic Attack "The Vow of Travel" || Single attack (selected enemy)

Deals imaginary damage to the selected enemy equal to 25-65% from max HP of the character.

Deaths are legion, regrets are nonexistent

Emboldening Salvo "Deaths are legion, regrets are nonexistent" || Mass attack (selected enemy + adjacent targets)

Consumes 50% of the character's current health, subsequently:

• Deals imaginary damage to the selected enemy equal to 45-112.5% from the value of max HP;
• deals imaginary damage to adjacent targets equal to 25-62.5% from the max HP value.

If the current health is not enough, then using the skill will reduce Midei's HP to 1 unit.

Kill the king to become king

Enhanced Skill "Kill the king to become king" || Mass attack (selected enemy + adjacent targets), applied automatically

Consumes 35% of the character's current health, subsequently:

• Deals imaginary damage to the selected enemy equal to 55-137.5% from the value of max HP;
• deals imaginary damage to adjacent targets equal to 33-82.5% from the max HP value.

Unlike the "normal" skill, the variation in question is used automaticallyIf the current health is not enough, then activating the skill lowers Midey's HP to 1 unit.

Kill God to become God

Enhanced Skill "Kill God to become God" || Mass attack (selected enemy + adjacent targets), applied automatically

Consumes 150 units of "Charge", subsequently:

• Deals imaginary damage to the selected enemy equal to 140-350% from the value of max HP;
• deals imaginary damage to adjacent targets equal to 84-210% from the max HP value.

Unlike the "normal" skill, the variation in question is used automatically, it also does not affect the accumulation of "Charge" levels.

Throne of Bones

Superpower "Throne of Bones" || Character , mass attack (selected enemy + adjacent targets), negative status on enemies

Restores 15-22.5% HP and gains 20 Charge. Then deals imaginary damage to the target enemy equal to 96-192% from the value of max health, as well as imaginary damage to adjacent targets, equal to 60-120% from the value of max health.

Additionally applies the "Taunt" status to attacked enemies for 2 move.

The next use of Kill God to Become God will attack the target enemy first, this effect only works on the new target.

ive skills

ive skills include: талант, which puts the character into a special state and allows the use of enhanced variations of the skills "Kill the King to Become the King" (spends HP) and "Kill the God to Become the God" (spends "Charges").

Blood for blood

Talent "Blood for blood" || Enhanced state

For each health point spent, you receive 1 "Charge" (limit - 200). When the number of "Charge" levels reaches 100, spends them to restore your own health in the amount of 15-30% from max HP, move personal action forward by 100% and enter the "Blood Feud" state.

In the "Blood Feud" state, the hero's max health is increased by 50% from the current HP value, and the defense drops to 0. As for the attack power - within the scope of the "Blood Feud" action:

• At the time of his personal turn, Midey automatically uses the enhanced skill "Kill the Tsar to become Tsar";
• Once the number of "Charges" reaches 150, the character immediately gets 1 extra turn and automatically uses the enhanced skill "Kill God to Become God".

Taking fatal damage while in Blood Feud does not disable Midei from fighting. Instead, he resets his total Charge stacks and loses his Blood Feud status, additionally restoring 50% from the max. indicator of your HP.

The order of leveling abilities

Talent/Skill ≥ Super Ability > Basic Attack

Talent and skill are Midei's abilities that develop in a uniform manner, since they are the most significant abilities, coupled with the fact that they have a close relationship with each other. Superpower is no less important against the background of the skills already considered, and it also requires investments from level to level.

Basic attack is a skill whose use is kept to a minimum, therefore the costs are either minimized in the initial stages or ignored completely in favor of saving resources.

Tracks

Traces of Midea:

Crete. damage +5.3% (lvl 1)
"Water and Earth" (A2): If Midey is fatally attacked during "Blood Feud", he will not exit this state - this effect can trigger up to 3 times per battle.	Max. HP +4.0% (A2)	Crete. damage +5.3% (A3)	Speed ​​+2 (A3)
"Thirst of Tyrants" (A4): While in the "Blood Feud" state, Midey is immune to crowd control effects.	Crete. damage +8.0% (A4)	Max HP +6.0% (A5)	Crete. damage +8.0% (A5)
"Bloody Chiton" (A6): If Midei's max HP is over 4 at the start of the battle, for every 000 extra HP (up to 100 extra HP), his critical chance increases by 4%, his efficiency in receiving the "Charge" level from enemies increases by 000%, and his efficiency in receiving healing increases by 1.2%.	Speed ​​+3 (A6)
Max HP +8.0% (lvl 75)	Crete. damage +10.7% (lvl 80)

Studying Midei's hidden talents allows you to get the following stat boosts:

• Crit. damage +37.3%;
• max health +18.0%;
• speed +5.

Eidolons

All Midea cons:

E1	The damage multiplier of Kill a God to Become a God to the primary target is increased by 30%. This skill now deals imaginary damage to all enemies equal to the primary target's damage multiplier.
E2	In the "Blood Feud" state, damage dealt by Midei ignores 15% of the target's defense, and after receiving healing, 40% of the healed HP is converted into "Charge". The total amount of "Charge" conversion cannot exceed 40 units, and the amount of this "Charge" is reset after any creature's action.
E3	Skill level +2. The maximum level is 15. The level of basic attack +1. The maximum level is 10.
E4	While in Blood Feud, Midei's critical damage is increased by 30% and enemy attacks restore HP equal to 10% of his max health.
E5	Superpower level +2. Max level - 15. Talent level +2. Max level - 15.
E6	Upon entering battle, Midey immediately enters the state of "Blood Feud". The amount of "Charge" levels required to use the enhanced skill "Godslayer, be a God" is reduced to 100 points.

The best eidolons of Midea are considered to be first, second и sixth:

• E1 Increases the damage of one of the character's main enhanced skills, which can significantly improve combat effectiveness and will be especially useful when completing high-level modes.
• E2 allows you to ignore defense, which also affects the outgoing DPS numbers. Additionally, it simplifies the accumulation of the "Charge" level for entering the "Blood Feud" state and more frequent use of the "Kill a God to Become a God" skill, respectively.
• E6 — Midei's peak power, as each battle will begin with the "Blood Feud" status, around which the character's rotation is built. A nice bonus is the reduced cost of the "Kill a God to Become a God" skill.

As a F2P player, to maximize the effectiveness of your character, it is recommended to stick with the second eidolon.

How to play as Midea - rotation

Midei's rotation revolves around the "Blood Feud" state, which the hero enters when he accumulates 150 "Charge" units. They are also used to use the enhanced skill "Kill a God to Become a God". Accordingly, during battle, it is important to focus on accumulating "Charge" levels, which are awarded when the character:

• uses technology (+50);
• Activates superpower (+20);
• consumes own HP (using skill);
• takes damage from enemies;
• becomes the target of an ally, capable of absorbing HP from other units (eg Jingliu).

Additionally, although the "Blood Feud" state increases the hero's overall HP, one must not forget that it also reduces his defense to zero - this can be fatal if the squad does not have stable Abundance, and Midey himself is poorly pumped.

Taking into all of the above, during the fight, adhere to the following recommendations:

1. Activate the techniques of selected units in the squad, including Midei's "Cage of Total Defeat", to inflict on enemies "Mockery" when entering battle - this status will allow the hero to become a priority target for enemy attacks, which, in turn, will speed up the accumulation of "Charges".
2. Skill is the most priority ability to use in the absence of the "Blood Feud" status and a charged ultimate skill. If there is a shortage of action points, try to use the active skills of allies in such a way that at least one skill point remains by the time Midey starts acting.
3. Once the character enters the "Blood Feud" state, the only thing you will have to keep an eye on is their health value. Due to the fact that the enhanced variations of the skill are used automatically, the player will not need to control the skills used. Accordingly, the main task is to maintain the unit's vital activity at a high or at least acceptable level.
4. The superpower is used as energy accumulates - this skill not only deals damage and offers additional units of "Charge", but also restores HP.

Advantages and disadvantages of Midea

Having considered how to play for Midey, and having studied his abilities in more detail, we can draw a conclusion about the following positive and negative sides of the hero:

Advantages	Disadvantages
Belonging to the "Destruction" class allows you to quickly deal with both single opponents and waves of enemies. Accordingly, it is suitable for completing several modes at once: "Pure fiction".	Abilities that allow you to restore your own HP are not enough to keep Midei's survivability at an acceptable level. Abundance with stable high healing is extremely important for comfortable play.
Midey is a pretty good hyper-carry character who can handle not only normal content, but also high-level content.	Limited range of suitable F2P health boosting gear and some reliance on event characters, which can be challenging for new players.
For effective implementation in combat, the hero needs investments in HP. Critical indicators are no less significant, but they can be left at the "average" value, giving preference to "health" on some equipment.	Dependence on the "Blood Feud" state: outside of this state, Midey loses much of his effectiveness.
Interesting gameplay built around attacks applied automatically makes the character a unique representative of the DPS class among all Paths.	Automatically applied skills, although unique, can complicate the age of some activities.

Best Midea Builds in Honkai: Star Rail

Midei in HSR is the main DPS character, whose rotation is built around the expenditure of HP and "Charges". Within the framework of the battle, he deals solo and mass attacks, therefore, he will be good both in modes aimed at killing single "large" enemies, and in activities where it is necessary to fight waves of opponents.

Dependence on high health and zero defense within the "Blood Feud" state force the player to take the selection of equipment for Midei seriously. The unit is not only important HP gains, but also combat stats: Crete. indicators и imaginary damage bonus. Depending on the intended assembly, the need for speeds.

In the following paragraphs, we will analyze how to assemble Midei in XSR: we will consider the most preferable options for light cones among legendary and epic options, we will designate the best sets of planar decorations and cave relics, and also present the optimal value of the hero's characteristics at the time of reaching the maximum level of pumping.

Recommended Specs

When selecting artifacts, focus on the following “upper” characteristics:

Head	HP (constant)
Arms	Attack Power (Permanent)
Body	Crit. Damage/Crit. Chance (a priority) or HP (alternative)
Legs	Speed ​​(fast build) or HP (slow build)
planar sphere	HP (a priority) or imaginary damage (alternative)
Connecting rope	HP (a priority)

The priority of the “lower” indicators is built on the following basis:

Crete. chance/crit. damage ≥ HP(%) > speed

Recommended final stat values ​​for a level 80 Midei (including all gear, i.e. Light Cone + Cave Relics + Planar Decorations):

Defenses are practically useless for Midei, as he loses his survivability in exchange for high health gains in Blood Feud state. Status resistances are also irrelevant, as the Tyrants' Thirst trail offers complete immunity to status CC from the talent.

Best light cone

The best weapon for Midei (Destruction: Imaginary) is something that increases health, as well as provides increases to outgoing damage and/or increases various attack stats. The ideal "card" option is Signature Light Cone "Fire of blood, ignite my path", however, in addition to the legendary weapons, the game also has other worthy alternatives that allow you to assemble a comfortable F2P unit build.

Best relics

Artifacts for Midei must, like the light cone, meet his basic requirements - increase HP and overall combat power.

cave relics

Additionally, you can consider 2x2 combinations with the presented sets, as well as their combination with a set that offers a percentage increase in speed (for example, "Herald Wandering in Hacker Space").

planar decorations

Detachments for Midey

In XSR, Midey is the main DPS character, therefore, his squad should mainly consist of characters (Paths of Harmony, Non-Existence, and Abundance). In rare exceptions, cooperation with units of damage-dealing classes is acceptable, but in this case, it is important to select characters against which Midey will not suffer due to a lack of skill points, and will not be deprived of the positive effects of s.

Best characters

The table shows Heroes (Harmony and Non-existence), which will be able to offer Midey excellent synergy:

Let's consider the most preferable ones representatives of Abundance to the team:

Let's outline the DPS class characters that can be quite compatible with Midea's mechanics and take on the role of a secondary damage dealer:

Top Teams

Midea's detailed guide in XSR suggests a selection of the most effective teams, on the basis of which you can subsequently create your own balanced squad. The groups below include not only legendary characters of the standard and event types, but also epic units that offer good synergy.

Is Midei Worth Knocking Out in Honkai: Star Rail

Midey is an ambiguous, but undoubtedly extremely strong character of his class. Constant HP consumption, attacks applied automatically, and the "Blood Feud" status, which reduces defense to zero, are a number of mechanics that make this Destruction unit "unfriendly" to F2P players and beginners. Additionally, the listed aspects can significantly complicate the age of high-level content if there are no third-party investments in the hero and an attentive attitude to the gameplay in general.

To play comfortably as a character, it is necessary to:

• assemble good equipment, choosing a suitable light cone and artifacts with acceptable “upper” and “lower” characteristics;
• pick a balanced squad by putting a good representative of Abundance, as well as providing the unit with Harmony, which can offer a number of bonuses that significantly increase overall combat effectiveness.

Taking care of the above details will help to level out Midei's "minuses", in exchange for which you will get a quick completion of the "Hall of Oblivion" and "Illusion of the End", as well as an acceptable speed in killing waves of opponents in "Pure Fiction". However, whether this character is worth the listed investments is a decision that falls under the full responsibility of the player who decided to knock out Midei. Especially if you take into the more "forgiving" old/new characters who are getting rerun/coming out in the background.

What is better for Midea - Signa or E1

Comparing Midei's signature weapon and his first eidolon, it's worth noting that the Bloodfire, Ignite My Path cone is better for a number of reasons:

1. Provides HP boosts.
2. Increases incoming healing, making it easier for the chosen Abundance to work.
3. Increases damage of skills and super abilities - the main skills of the character.

At the same time, the first eidolon only offers an additional multiplier to the damage of the "Kill a god to become a god" skill, which loses out to the list of advantages of the signature weapon "card". Therefore, if the question arises - to knock out Midea signa or E1, it is worth giving preference to the first option.
