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

Everything you need to know about the OG mommy.

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.

This effect can only be triggered one time per turn.
