- I go over how damage over time, AKA DOTs work, the entire damage formula and all the variables in it, and explain how you can increase your DOT damage in Honkai Star Rail. I also have a chart for all sources of character DOTs in the game and explain how Break DOTs work. I demonstrate how to maximize Kafka's DOT as well.

Kafka's Dot is called Dominate over time.
I love you for this
This need to be pinned LMAO
Dominate over thighs**
Where’s the 10k likes
Im already down
Me watching the 30th Kafka guide knowing damn well I don't have the will to employ what I learn: 👁️👄👁️ interesting
i suppose at least you HAVE kafka, i'm watching it even thou i have 0 intentions of gettin her xD
me watching kafka guides even though I won't get her, spent it all on blade
@@Lagucciayou been on yt for a long ass time goddamn
@@ninetailsk1210bros been on TH-cam a year before I was even born 💀
Me watching while having her .....but knows everything that needs to be known....and still watching
"DoTs don't snapshot" That is in my opinion the most important part of this video (for min-maxers) and it went by in like 3 seconds :D
Except for Break DoTs. Since Break DoTs only scales with Break Effect. This may change of there are new characters that can buff Break Effect.
U forgot that bleed does highest dot
this bit of info was the only reason i came to this video lol
specifically to see how you would use Yukong in a DoT team. knowing this you can have your Yukong act last so that her buff is active through all of the enemies turns and the first two turns of your next cycle. Probably better for Clara teams since a lot of her damage is dealt on the enemy's turn instead of her own and Clara can actually benefit from the crit buffs from Yukong
I’m playing HSR much more casually these days, but I will always enjoy watching IWTL videos. I can’t get enough of the chill and relaxing vibes. Appreciate you IWTL
Thank you for taking the time to post this. It's just a comprehensive video. Extremely useful
10/10 guide, explained everything like to monkeys. Love it :D
I agree
-Geto
some of the kind of content that brought me to IWtL in the first place, keep up the good work 😍Have basically answered all the small questions that i've had while learning more about the game, and taught me even more!
Love the channel and content, and keep it up, IWtL 🙌
I think a point you should add, is that these DoTs just like buffs and debuffs in the game will only refresh the duration when applied again during the duration. This means that for example, serval applies shock with skill(2 turns) then ult before the enemy moves, extends it to (4 turns), if serval use skill again, the shock DoT will refresh back to 2 turns. I guess this is only important for Serval as she's the onlu one that can extend DoTs(for now)
Maan.. this was a great detailed explanation of DoT and all the possible variables that could affect the final output 🙌 Kudos for you man 💪🎉
This was a LOT of good info for me. I didn't know there were so many ways to increase DoT damage, and it makes for a surprising amount of flexibility.
Thank you for this. Been saving for Kafka since the game came out and want to get the most from her kit for MoC
Thank you for such a simple easy to understand explanation !!!
Congrats bro. You deserve a big like 👍. The best guide I have seen so far...👌
Very good guide. You took time to thoroughly explain how things work. This is very helpful.
It’s going to take a while to have Kafka,Sampo and Luka built for that DOT team..
Same! I just built Kafka and Sampo for the past 2 days, and I've burned 90% of my resources.
Kafka is doing well already but Sampo is still 80% built.
@@safe4547same but Kafka and my boy luka. He has his own DoT detonation so it’s like having Kafka and mini-Kafka on my team! But my resources cryin ;-;
Better off with a buffer instead of Luka, bruv, give it a try
Same I even got E1 Kafka by accident trying to get more sampo and luka dups just to find out they suck unless well built. So I just use her with Tingyun and Asta.
Here I am maining sampo before kafka and build him crit instead of atk 🤡
I would love to build Sampo to maximize my Kafka damage but after building Kafka I have 7 credits, 2 ascension books and half a relic left :)
same... im dried out of resources
Anyone else just get enough just simply looking at Kafka? From her walk to her fighting, I simply can't stop looking
her technique is the thing that made me pull for kafka and her lc lmaoo
Thats me, and the last time i was this excited for a character from hoyo games was Eula
Have you gone into her Voice Lines?! There is 3 Different Ara's at the bottom!
Not me spamming her technique with no reason
no wonder my hundreds of trick snacks just gone. worth
4:45 im pretty sure himikos overworld skill lowers fire resistance
Very good explanation thank you
8:01 Kafka's talent applies shock as well!
I think it spplies ultimates shock, so its the same
Such a good video
Maan, you just ray of light in shadow world, i tired search info about it. And you just brought everything chewed for some 12 minutes 12/10 very helpful Guide
i liked the video, best example of how u buff the dots
thanks for the info :)
Great explanation! 👍
But I'm lost and don't understand a thing you said :))) liked the vid
THANK YOU FOR USING YOUR GRAMMAR AND PUNCTUATION CORRECTLY
Now my Kafka will slap some but's with this lesson abt Dot, Thank you IWTLG, you Always ate with those explanations
Great video been trying to get community to say damage on turn since it’s not a action game there is no time
Bro I'm gonna cry this is so fucking harder than my physics lessons
Thanks for content
Awesome Videoooo
Was just thinking about this
That DOT numbers so satisfying.
Hey Boss, we are all eagerly waiting for the guide about Luka. Any chance of a release in the coming days?
Your guides are the best!
Ok, since it does not affect quantum entanglement dmg, what does? I am asking, since I saw a 166k entanglement dmg yesterday on my Seele (in the current event) and I have no idea what caused it to go that high :(
Does Planetary Rendezvous Lightcone on Tingyun also improve Dots from Kafka? I tried but it seemed to have no visible effect.
It should since it buffs Kafka's own elemental damage 🤔
so the base scale to improve DOT is by improving attack along side with EHR with minimum 30%?
and the lightcone need to be scale DOT percentage?
Another character that can decrease enemies resistance is Pela, but only Ice resistance and if you have her at E4.
Also, loucha at e6 but not many people will have that
For resistance penetration sources in the game you missed the 4 piece quantum relic set, against enemies weak to quantum, this makes it highly situational, but viable none the less
What's your hyper carry kafka build??
electro's becoming the cryo/pyro of early genshin
You missed one thing,the fact that f2p players exist and that the don't have Silver wolf,or her light cone,and are just f2p in general.But it's okay,actualy realy nice to see that Kafka is f2p friendly,and realy broken.👍
Man i love this video, very informative and helpful!

If only she came home to my account though 😢
One cool way to expand DoT teams' elemental coverage would be to make an Ice Nihility character who can apply a unique ice DoT (in the same way erode is a unique lightning DoT), as well as having a freeze. Thus, they could add DoTs for Kafka to trigger, as well as strengthening the team's overall DoT damage by causing more triggers through freeze's AV boost.
No, someone that quantum dots enemies and gives kafka turn skip plus energy/dmg/speed boost.
While healing or reducing dmg.
Extra pop plus 1 char filling all roles needed a for multi dot comp.
Nice!
4:50 Though not significant, 4* Dan Heng Talent - Wind RES PEN after being buffed by ally as well.
I'm most likely gonna use OHE Top on Gepard so he can keep freezing them. Does the DOT light cone for Gepard override the burn DOT from Asta or does it stack? I haven't tested it out yet but if anyone tried it out let me know plz =]
Man, Kafka is so fun.
4:46 i think loucha E6 "When Ultimate is used, there is a 100% fixed chance to reduce all enemies' All-Type RES by 20% for 2 turn(s)" all type may apply to DoT dam
The counter to enemies taking more turns. Is have the team or kafka take more. Therefore more follow up, ult and skilll use.
Didn’t think I’d get Kafka but she came home at 18 pity 🥺 I already have sampo built so I think I’ll run her with him, luocha and maybe fire mc or jing yuan
how about the shampo light cone increase DOT by 36% (SP3) does that mean damage or what?
One of the most balanced reviews from genshin days.
I'm currently using Bronya to buff Kafka instead of Luka, (with Samo and Bailu), and I can get around 22k - 25k dmg with that comp (using Kafka's skill). Kafka isn't fully upgraded, still missing 2 levels of every trace, only her skill need only 1 upgrade left (at lvl 80). You guys think it's a good choice to use Bronya? Or Maybe using Luka I would get even more dmg via Kafka's skill? Btw I forgot to mention I'm using Herta's shop nihility light cone at superimposition 5, which gives me 40% more DoT after casting skill
i wonder since she has a fallow up skill can she be used with someone like seele ??
I'm now thinking I built Serval wrong. Should she be att% instead of crit like Kafka?
I have e6 serval, should i build dot damage on her ? Or just crit dmg like others ?
DoT for ease of use, crit for more damage
I don't have Tingyun, could she be replaced with Bronya?
I guess I just wonder when it's actually better to put break effect on a character over any other stats?
is the sampo lc good, i only see the sleep one talked about
11:40 uw ant Sampos new 4 star light cone over the "sweaty" one increases DoT by 30% (at S2)
Pela E4 has an Ice RES Shred, and I think that’s all apart from SW
perfect eidolons for yanqing
im still not sure wether should i use kafka sampo asta natasha or kafka sampo tingyun natasha
Hey IWTL,
out of curiosity. In your dmg showcase for maximizing dmg couldn't you have increased the dmg significantly if you used tingyun ultimate after kafkas turn? Since dots don't snapshot you use the 50% dmg increase from tingyun with kafkas skill and loose it for the Dot proc
tingyun's ult buff for 2 turns
If DOTs are not good with slow debuff, does that mean they are also not suitable with extra turn buff from Bronya?
They are great with slow debuffs as they allow kafka to gain more energy while getting more procs from follow up, skill and ult.
Is it stupid of me to not use Sampo with her because A) I don't want to have to build him and B) I don't like his character? I can just use Serval, Asta, Himeko and/or Natasha (Bleed from physical break), right?
Does bronya work with kafka n sampo?
So which is better to use lightning damage bonus planar sphere or attack% sphere?
Lightning damage
Doesn't pela's skill decrease an enemy's res? i might be mistaken tho
It's disappointing that fire DoTs are so weak. Is it even worth putting Fire MC (/w Trend of Universal market) or Hook into DoT teams?
Kafka is op dot. You can combi with any types of dot provider and she just burst the damage output
Luocha’s E6 shreds elemental res!
Bleed affect by %be?
Who else came back here after getting black swan?
Is there any point in using multiple DoT types? Like Lightning+Wind+Bleed on the same team. Or is it much better to do Kafka plus Serval for never ending shock damage and then add an Asta to the team to increase the overall damage even more? And finally, does the weakness of the enemy actually matter when using a DoT strategy or is simply spamming DoTs good enough?
it depends on the Weakness.
Serval (Erudition) doesn't have the Vulnerability debuff to increase the DoT dmg thats why.
@@zaimieyy
Yeah but she does increased damage against shocked enemies and extends all shock durations. DoTs from both Kafka and Serval combined with Serval doing extreme damage and Asta buffing both of them at once. I feel like this hits the maximum number of things on the list to make DoTs effective while also doing a ton of regular damage.
I think for Kafka the potency of the dot and the debuffs matter, Sampo should pair up the best because his ultimate makes all dots do more damage and they itself are decent and Luka's physical dot is very strong in terms of raw damage because physical dot scales of enemy % max hp. Serval's dot isnt that strong and she is an elation unit so she's more comparable to someone like Jing Yuan in terms of use-case and in the best scenario you will have the dot up like 99% of the time anyway so I don't think Serval extending it does much.
The Weakness does not matter as much for dot teams because you can just "brute force" it through raw dot even if you dont break them, but characters are always better if you use them to counter the respective weakness
but in the end I don't know everything so I might be wrong, if that's so please correct me^^
@@morganlefae
Well one of the playstyles is definitely maximizing DoT damage. But there's also a style where you just buff Kafka up and do damage with her with supports like Bronya and Tingyun and apparently she can sustain her DoTs always. I guess my approach is kinda in the middle of them both where I try for consistent DoT and damage at the same time.
@@zan1971im doing this too for my Kafka because im still haven't built shampoo due to limited resources
Tingyun & Bronya can make my kafka hit 100k per ultimate at lv8 with 3-4 enemy
And decent DoT per skill i can hit 20-30k at lv6 skill with 2-3 enemy
Im using Good night sleep well S2 with 4 set Band of sizzling thunder + space sealing 2 set & im happy with the result ^^
if i had the materials i would try building Shampoo & Luka too, but for now i will stay with this setup ^^
Bro you actually missed Arlan's doggo Peppy dot damage wtf
Does Dan hang skill apply wind resistance penetration only to him or is that to everyone?
Pretty sure it only affects him sadly
slowing enemies would also be not that bad since kafka can activate them which means you can drop some free damage
What if i dont have silver wolf
What team would be the best
4:50 For resistance shred,the quantum 4 piece set will give u 20% resistance shred if u are against a enemy with lightning weakness on Kafka
no pretty sure its a def ignore
*def ignore
*quantum weakness
Question my dudes
Would it be better to have Kafka Luka Sampo Healer/Shield
Or swap out Sampo for a resistance shred/support like SW or Yukong or Tingyun?
Aka is it better to have more types of dots or more buffs
I think better will be swap out Sampo or Luka for some support, the most good will be SW or Pela for nihility, or Asta for Harmony. SW/Pela will debuff enemy DEF leading to have more dmg from both Sampo/Luka and Kafka, whereas Asta will buff ATK for both units. If you will use all three dot units, there will be difficult to manage skill points (actually, I'm not sure about this), and it likely will be more difficult to well build all three units, whereas supports not such sensitive for stats. I hope you understand my bad english xD
Imagine one day they decided to release elio as harmony with speciality to boost DOT damage by making them can CRIT like Nahida C2
Bro I cant imagaine elio as harmony
So break dot does not work with sampo LC? Because that is bonus damage right?
That's DoT bonus damage, not elemental bonus damage, so I would think it would work 🤔 but maybe I understood the words wrong
Can you make how to get high break effect
Idk but 5 months ago Guinaifen wasnt yet released?
does Entanglement dmg didn't count as DoT dmg?
Does Kafka procs Break dots?
I actually didn't know Pela's LC works with DoTs too... I guess I'll replace my Kafka's Fermata and go for Pela's LC instead. Even though it's just S2, its damage multiplier is still higher than S5 Fermata.
does sampo's increased dot damage affect the damage kafka does when she uses her skill and ult to proc any dots on the enemy?
I think only kafka that increase dot damage
I'm not an expert, but i think his Ultimate does affect Kafka's dot dmg as it says "100% base chance to increase the target's DoT taken by 25% for 2 turns".
do u have cold my guy
is kafka hyper carry better than kafka with 1 dot character?
Someone pls tell me how to build Kafka in caveman language
Attack good, Crit bad
All atk/spd no crit
@@robertharp16yes go full attack and speed
Full atk+speed, crit is useless... Mommy love high atk
Me watching a Kafka Guide: Ohhh so this is how you make sampo stronger
Dan Heng passive is one example of Wind Res Shred
Only for him self
Luka or Tingyun?
I'm running Bilou and Sampo
Ya know what sucks, I've been getting God Rolls of Crit Rate and Crit Dmg Artifacts..but the ONE time I want ATK and effect rate it's avoiding me like the plague. Seeing these god-rolls on Artifacts I DON'T need them on is making me want to cry..
why dots characters don't use break effect if break effect can improve break weaknes damage and dot damage?
Because, it ends up being better to build for their own dots instead of break since not all enemies can be broken easily, even with ruan mei
Waiting for nihility healer with a talent that heal when the Dot proc. 😂 I wish there's one.
Okay i luv the shiny sweaty light cone :v
Is Kafka + Sampo + Silverwolf + sustain better than Kafka + Sampo + luka + sustain
Luochas E6 COn cons adds all res down by 20% for 2 turns
