How to get Archer in Honkai: Star Rail? Is Archer powerful in Honkai: Star Rail?

The news about the collaboration between Honkai: Star Rail and Fate has likely reached many people. As a classic novel and anime IP, Fate has a wide fan base. This collaboration will be launched in version 3.4, introducing new characters Saber and Archer. Some players are wondering how to get Archer in Honkai: Star Rail? And whether this Star Rail collaboration character Archer is powerful. Below, we'll give a brief introduction based on the information that has been released.

The three characters, Saber and Archer, from this collaboration will be introduced in the 3.4 pool. Among them, Saber is a limited draw, and so is Archer, but one will be given as a gift. From the start of the collaboration at noon on July 11th until the end of version 3.6, logging in will earn you an Archer. This collaboration pool is separate from the limited event pools, with guarantees not being shared, and it will remain open for a long time, lasting until the end of version 3.6.

The Archer from the Fate collaboration in Star Rail is the future version of Shirou Emiya, also known as Red Archer. In this game, Red Archer is a 5-star Quantum attribute character following the Hunt path. It must be said that the Hunt path is currently in a bit of an awkward position in Star Rail, requiring workarounds to avoid chase attacks.

The Hunt path focuses on single-target burst damage, and when paired with the Quantum attribute, it typically targets individual enemies precisely. The Quantum system usually comes with effects like resilience reduction and delayed entanglement. Although the full skill set of Archer hasn't been fully revealed yet, there's a high probability that he will be a fast-attack type character similar to Seele.

Characters with such efficient reaping positioning are very useful in elite battles and perform well in boss fights. Additionally, there might be some synergy with the other collaboration character, Saber, which will be confirmed by official announcements later.

This concludes the introduction on how to obtain Archer in Honkai: Star Rail and his performance. This collaboration character will be available starting July 11th, with the release of Star Rail 3.4. You can obtain him through the collaboration pool, and one will also be given for free upon login. Don't miss out if you're interested. As for his strength, it doesn't seem to be too overpowered based on current information.
