Introduction to the new boss in Honkai: Star Rail 3.2, and what are the new light cones in Honkai: Star Rail 3.2

The major update of Star Rail not only introduces new characters but also new enemy bosses, and of course, new light cones to match the new characters. Some players are curious about how powerful the new boss in Honkai: Star Rail 3.2 is. Below, we'll briefly discuss the new boss and the upcoming light cones, looking at their effects, compatibility with new characters, and whether some older characters can also benefit from the new light cones.

Let's first look at the new boss, a dragon named "Polydeuces," also known as the "Death Dragon." This boss has a special mechanism where most of the damage it deals to your team is a unique type called "Decay Damage," which ignores shields and defenses and cannot be shared among team members.

Moreover, when your team's health drops, they will accumulate "Near-Death Dream Bubbles," entering an enhanced state. In this enhanced state, the boss can deal massive area-of-effect damage, almost reducing the entire team to critical health. Known as the Death Dragon, it embodies death, so you need to pay extra attention to your team's health when fighting this boss.

However, to fight this boss, it's still necessary to quickly bring it into the enhanced state, meaning your team should lose health as soon as possible. After the boss enters the enhanced state, your attacks will consume these "Dream Bubbles" and can heal. Once the Dream Bubbles are consumed, you can deal significant damage to the boss.

Next, let's talk about the light cone. Xiadi's exclusive weapon, "Make Farewells More Beautiful," increases the maximum HP by 30%. When Xiadi or her Eidolon loses HP, she gains "Nether Flowers," allowing her to ignore 30% defense for 2 turns when dealing damage. Additionally, when the Eidolon disappears, it can increase the speed of the wielder by 12%. This new light cone is highly suitable for Xiadi, and other characters can hardly make use of it.

In addition to the above-mentioned new boss and light cone in Honkai: Star Rail 3.2, there are two new minor enemies: the Black Tide Erosion Mage and the Black Tide Erosion Axe. There's also Aglaia's exclusive weapon, "Weave Time into Gold," and the free-to-obtain "Memories Never Fade" from the Black Tower, both of which provide speed boosts and increased damage.
