Arlan - Aptitude Showcase Event - Phase 2 - Honkai: Star Rail - Version 3.1

The **Arlan Aptitude Showcase Event** in **Phase 2** of **Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.1** is a character trial event where players can test out featured characters, including **Arlan**, in a special domain. This recurring event provides an opportunity to experience the gameplay of promoted characters using pre-set teams, offering rewards like **Stellar Jades**, **Credits**, and **Character Ascension Materials** upon first-time completion of its stages. In Phase 2 of Version 3.1, the featured characters are **Mydei**, **Huohuo**, **Arlan**, **Xueyi**, and **Natasha**.

### Event Overview
In the Aptitude Showcase, you’ll use trial versions of these characters to tackle specific challenges. Since **Arlan** is one of the highlighted characters, this event is a great chance to explore his unique mechanics and decide if he fits your playstyle—especially since he’s also a featured 4-star character in the **Mydei and Huohuo warp banners**, available from **March 19, 2025, to April 8, 2025 (UTC-5)**.

### Who is Arlan?
**Arlan** is a **Lightning-element character** on the **Path of Destruction**, known for his high-risk, high-reward playstyle. His key ability, **Shackle Breaker** (his Skill), consumes **15% of his Max HP** instead of Skill Points, dealing significant Lightning damage that scales up as his HP decreases. This makes him a powerful damage dealer, but one that requires careful management to avoid being knocked out.

### Tips for Using Arlan in the Event
To make the most of Arlan in the Aptitude Showcase, consider these strategies:

- **Shielding is Key**: Since Arlan thrives at low HP, pair him with a **Preservation character** like **March 7th** to provide shields and protect him from enemy attacks.
- **Health Management**: His Skill’s HP cost means you can use it often, but don’t let his HP drop too low without support. A healer like **Natasha** (also featured in this event) can help sustain him if needed.
- **Boost His Damage**: Enhance Arlan’s already impressive damage output with buffs. Characters like **Yukong** or **Asta** can increase his **ATK**, **CRIT Rate**, or **CRIT DMG**, making him even more effective.

### Why Try Arlan in This Event?
The Aptitude Showcase lets you test Arlan in a risk-free environment with pre-built teams. If you enjoy his aggressive, HP-sacrificing playstyle and see him synergizing with your roster, you might want to pull for him in the ongoing banners before they end on **April 8, 2025**. This event is your chance to experience his potential firsthand and claim some valuable rewards while you’re at it!
