Honkai Star Rail Kafka Kit, all Skills, Traces, & Eidolons

Kafka is a five-star Lightning character who follows the Path of the Nihility. She's a member of the Stellaron Hunters who notoriously lives without fear, allowing her to perform dangerous feats all over the universe. Kafka has dedicated spot not only on the IPC's wanted list, but on yours and mine too. I'm a huge fan of her DPS-based kit despite being a Nihility character, which you can familiarize yourself with below.

Kafka's Skills in Honkai Star Rail

Basic Attack: Midnight Tumult

Deals Lightning DMG equal to a percentage scale of Kafka's ATK to a single enemy.

Skill: Caressing Moonlight

Deals Lightning DMG equal to a percentage scale of Kafka's ATK to a target enemy and Lightning DMG equal to a percentage scale of Kafka's ATK to enemies adjacent to it. If the target enemy is currently receiving DoT, all DoTs currently placed on that enemy immediately produce DMG equal to a percentage scale of their original DMG.

Percentage Scaling

• Level One: 80 percent (1) / 30 percent (2) / 60 percent (3)
• Level Ten: 160 percent (1) / 60 percent (2) / 75 percent (3)
• Level Twelve: 176 percent (1) / 66 percent (2) / 78 percent (3)

Ultimate: Twilight Trill

Deals Lightning DMG equal to a percentage scale of Kafka's ATK to all enemies, with a 100 percent base chance for enemies hit to become Shocked and immediately take DMG equal to a percentage scale of the DoT. Shock lasts for two turns. While Shocked, enemies receive Lightning DoT equal to a percentage scale of Kafka's ATK at the beginning of each turn.

Energy Cost: 120

Talent: Gentle but Cruel

After an ally of Kafka's uses Basic ATK on an enemy target, Kafka immediately launches one follow-up attack and deals Lightning DMG equal to a percentage scale of her ATK to that target, with a 100 percent base chance to inflict Shock equivalent to that applied by her Ultimate to the attacked enemy target for two turns. This effect can only be triggered one time per turn.

Technique: Mercy Is Not Forgiveness

Immediately attacks all enemies within a set range. After entering battle, deals Lightning DMG equal to 50 percent of Kafka's ATK to all enemies, with a 100 percent base chance to inflict Shock equivalent to that applied by her Ultimate on every enemy target for two turns.
