In Honkai: Star Rail Star Destroyer: Skarakabaz is a huge bug lord and boss from the Swarm faction that you will face as part of the story mission and Echoes of War . It drops past wormhole disasters, which are necessary for leveling up some characters.
In this guide, we will tell you where you can encounter this enemy and which teams are best suited to fight it. You will also learn about all his main attacks and the most optimal tactics for fighting this boss.
How to open access to Skarakabaz
You will first encounter this boss in the continuation mission of Mastery called “Burn , shine, my star of genius” from the chain “The Crown of Mortal and Divine.” In this quest you will have to defeat a weakened version of the enemy – the fight with him will be less difficult, and it is partially described in the quest walkthrough.
After this, “Echoes of War: Old Wormhole Crater” will become available to you, thanks to which you can challenge the Star Destroyer again at any time. You can find him in the Isolated Zone, located on the Hertha space station.
Characteristics of the Bug Lord Skarakabaza
You can complete the battle with the Star Destroyer on one of 5 difficulty levels – depending on this, the characteristics of the enemy will change. The picture below demonstrates its parameters at the maximum level 82 and the progression of attributes.
As for the enemy's vulnerabilities, he is susceptible to imaginary, ice and physical attacks. At the same time, he has increased (40%) resistance to quantum damage and is completely invulnerable to Binding. More detailed information can be viewed in the image below.
Let’s add that, while in the “Reproduction” mode, this boss will constantly summon Corrosive Stingers when receiving attacks from your characters. These ordinary mobs are vulnerable to physical and ice types of damage. More details about their attributes can be found in the picture below.
Recommended commands
Given the characteristics of Skarakabaz and Corrosive Bugs, we strongly advise you to take physical and/or ice damage dealers into your squad. Imaginary ones are also suitable (especially Dr. Ratio), however, you will not be able to break through the resistance of ordinary mobs with them, which can complicate the battle somewhat.
It is also advisable to take fighters capable of inflicting significant damage to several enemies at once, since you You will almost always have to fight a group of opponents at once, and the faster you can kill ordinary beetles, the better. So be sure to add Jingliu, Argenti and/or Clara to the group if available.
The boss and the creatures he summons deal a lot of damage, so you should definitely use a good shieldman and/or healer. A good option would be: March 7, Cheetah, Natasha or Locha, as they can not only protect and heal allies, but also penetrate the vulnerabilities of enemies. If they are not at hand, then you can use any other healers and defenders.
