Biography of Arlan in Honkai: Star Rail
Arlan of Honkai: Star Rail is the taciturn and somewhat withdrawn head of security for the Hertha space station. The guy takes his duties with full responsibility and is ready to sacrifice himself for the sake of others at any moment. Many employees notice that without him the station would have fallen into decay long ago. Even Hertha does not interfere with his work, although he is not her follower.
Having completed his official duties ahead of schedule, Arlan loves to play electronic frisbee with his dog Pippi, whom he once saved from certain death. The past of the head of the security department is rather vague. It is only known that his home world is Blue, and he himself carefully hides his wounds under bandages and gloves. The guy treasures them more than anything else, because they allow you to keep his secrets.
The development of Arlan's storyline can be found in his companion mission "Unexpected turn".

Basic skills
Arlan's abilities are aimed at dealing electrical damage to one or more opponents. He stands out from the rest of the characters in that he sacrifices health in exchange for spending skill points in order to increase his own damage. In order to better understand how Arlan's skills work, let's analyze them in more detail.
Active skills
- Technics "Fast Harvest» | Explosion
Immediately attacks the enemy and after the start of the battle, deals electrical damage to all targets equal to 80% of attack power.

Passive skills
- talent"Pain and anger» | Gain
Increases own damage per percentage of HP below maximum health, up to max. 36-90% additional damage.
The order of leveling abilities
Most of Arlan's damage is dealt by superpowerso it has priority. Emboldening Salvo - a secondary source of damage, which is quite actively used to charge the ultimate. Talent affects the increase in damage depending on the lost HP - an equally important option. Basic Attack needed solely to restore skill points.
Tracks
Arlan's footprints provide a boost to his attack power, HP, and status resistance, as well as increasing his survivability.
Attack power +4% (lvl.1) | |||
Resurrection: After defeating an enemy, if current HP is less than or equal to 30%, recover 20% of max. health. | Status Resistance +4% (A2) | Attack Power +4% (A3) | HP +4% (A3) |
Exposure: The chance to avoid the effect of damage over time is increased by 50%. | Attack Power +6% (A4) | Status Resistance +6% (A5) | Attack Power +6% (A5) |
Rejection: At the start of combat, if HP is below or equal to 50%, then Arlan can avoid all damage except periodic damage when attacked. The effect is removed after receiving an attack. | HP +6% (A6) | Status Resistance +8% (Lvl 75) | Attack power +8% (lvl.80) |
General increase in characteristics:
ATK | 28% |
Status Resistance | 18% |
HP | 10% |
Eidolons [constellations]
All eidolons of Arlan:
number | Name | <font><font>Materials</font></font> |
1 | Until the end | When HP is less than or equal to 50% of max. HP, skill damage increased by 10%. |
2 | Break free | Using a skill or ultimate removes 1 debuff. |
3 | Unshakable might | Skill level +2. The maximum level is 15. The level of basic attack +1. The maximum level is 10. |
4 | The fury of the hunted | After the start of the fight, if Arlan receives a finishing blow, he does not die. Instead, he immediately restores his HP to 25%. The effect is removed after one trigger or lasts 2 turns. |
5 | At full speed | Superpower level +2. Talent level +2. The maximum level is 15. |
6 | Self sacrifice | When HP is less than or equal to 50% of max. HP, Ultimate damage is increased by 20%, and damage multiplier to nearby targets is increased to the selected enemy's damage multiplier. |
The best constellations of Arlan - E2, E4 и E6:
- Feature second eidolon: Allows you to remove 1 debuff from the character after using a skill or ult, making him more resilient and survivable.
- Feature fourth eidolon: Restores health when taking lethal damage. To some extent, the shard allows Arlan to play "more aggressively", since even after death he will instantly return to duty.
- Feature sixth eidolon: Increases Ultimate damage additionally when health is reduced to half or below. It also makes the area damage stronger as it gets the same multipliers as a single attack.
Advantages and disadvantages of Arlan
After getting acquainted with the principle of operation of the abilities, traces and eidolons of the head of security of the space station, one can draw conclusions about its "pluses" and "minuses".
Advantages | Disadvantages |
Does not consume skill points when using a skill. Such savings allow other allies to use their skills more actively. | Instead of spending zero skill points and increasing his own damage, he constantly sacrifices health. |
An excellent damage dealer for beginners, as it has high damage in the early stages of the game. Subsequently, it can remain in the squad as a kind of “generator” of skill points when alternating a skill and a basic attack. Thanks to this, the team will always be in the black in terms of skill points. | Demanding for the assembly of the detachment. In order for the hero to feel comfortable in battle, he definitely needs a shielder and / or a healer. At the same time, supports will often need to use their saved skill points to heal or protect Arlan. |
Able to take the position of a secondary damage dealer to deal additional damage and effectively break through the electrical weakness of opponents. | Needs a lot of investment to reach its full potential. However, even in this case, it is inferior to many epic ones, including free damage dealers, which may be less dependent on external factors. |
The ultimate deals massive electric damage in an area (being a representative of the Path of Destruction - one target and the closest enemies to it). At the same time, due to the fact that it is possible to use the skill every turn, the energy is restored quite quickly. | While footprints strengthen the character a bit, the health loss mechanic still leaves them extremely vulnerable. The problem is solved by the presence of the 4th eidolon, but only partially. |
The only source of damage in the area is the super ability, which also attacks only the closest targets, and not all enemies on the battlefield. | |
The talent is a kind of "bait", as it does not provide as much damage as it might seem. The description says that the damage is increased for every percentage of HP below his max. HP, however, the maximum buff can only be obtained at 1 HP. This is just a "nice bonus", so don't deliberately keep Arlan's HP too low. |

However, if the weapon is not awakened at least 3 times, it is better to give preference to one of the following 2 options. |
Secret oath ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 21-476 DEF 12-264 | Increases wearer's damage by | Arlan's sinature light cone, which also suits him perfectly.

Similarly, it increases attack and restores health, however, in order to heal, you need to defeat the enemy - for example, you can leave opponents with a small amount of HP so that Arlan can finish them off.

Heaven's falling ⭐⭐⭐ HP 38-846 ATK 16-370 DEF 9-198 | Increases the damage of the basic attack and skill of the owner by | Another great 3 star cone. Since the hero uses the skill almost every turn, he will be able to use the gain on an ongoing basis. |

Phys. hero | Destruction | Physical | At the start of the game, it will help inflict additional damage on one or more opponents. Technique restores the health of the team, which will be useful, for example, in Simulated Universe . |
Moon Eater | Destruction | Imaginary | A good character for the role of the main DPS hero if Arlan occupies the position of a secondary damage dealer. Plays from the consumption of pts. skill, so it will perfectly "combine" with the head of the "Security Department". |
jingliu | Destruction | Ice | Has an enhanced form, during which it consumes the HP of allies. At the same time, Arlan's talent increases its damage for each percentage point of HP below maximum health. But it is necessary to have a healer in such a composition. |
