Novaflare Event - Honkai Star Rail - Version 3.4

The **Novaflare Event** in *Honkai: Star Rail* Version 3.4, titled "For the Sun is Set to Die," is an enhanced character trial event where players can test adjusted abilities of specific characters and earn rewards. Here’s a detailed overview:

### Event Details
- **Overview**: Novaflare is a character trial event allowing players to complete trial stages using enhanced versions of Silver Wolf, Kafka, Blade, and Jingliu, reworked via the **Novaflare Character Enhancement System**. Players can earn rewards by clearing these stages.
- **Eligibility**: Requires Trailblaze Level 4 or higher. You don’t need to own the trial characters to participate.
- **Duration**: Available from the Version 3.4 update (July 1, 2025, for NA servers; July 2, 2025, for EU/Asia servers) until the end of Version 3.5.
- **Access**: Found in the **Travel Log** in the Phone main menu, customizable Shortcut Wheel, or the top-right corner of the main screen.

### Enhanced Characters and Adjustments
The Novaflare system reworks abilities, Traces, and/or Eidolons for four characters, applied by default to both owned and new characters. Toggle between enhanced and non-enhanced states via the "Character Enhancement" button in the Character Details interface. Key adjustments include:

1. **Silver Wolf (5★, Quantum, Nihility)**:
- **Ultimate**: Now AoE, dealing Quantum DMG (380% of ATK) and reducing all enemies’ DEF by 45% for 3 turns.
- **Bugs**: After every attack, 100% base chance to implant one of three random Bugs (reduce ATK by 10%, DEF by 12%, or SPD by 6%) for 3 turns. Bug duration extends by 1 turn, and a random Bug is implanted on Weakness Break with 100% base chance.
- **Weakness Implant**: When an enemy is defeated, the implanted Weakness transfers to another enemy, prioritizing Elites.
- **Energy**: Regenerates 20 Energy at battle start.

2. **Kafka (5★, Lightning, Nihility)**:
- Specific enhancements aren’t detailed, but her abilities, Traces, and/or Eidolons are adjusted. Test her updated kit in the trial.

3. **Blade (5★, Wind, Destruction)**:
- **Scaling**: Fully HP-based.
- **Skill**: Sets Blade’s HP to 50% of Max HP, deals Wind DMG (150% of Max HP + 120% of HP loss tally) to a single enemy, and 60% of Max HP + 60% of HP loss tally to adjacent targets. Increases aggro chance and enhances Basic ATK to “Forest of Swords” for 3 turns under the “Hellscape” state. Skill doesn’t regenerate Energy or end the turn.
- **Talent**: Follow-up attack generates additional Energy.
- **HP Loss Tally**: Capped at 90% of Max HP, reset after Ultimate.

4. **Jingliu (5★, Ice, Destruction)**:
- **Scaling**: Switched to HP-based.
- **Spectral Transmigration State**: At 2 “Syzygy” stacks, Jingliu enters this state, gaining 1 additional Syzygy stack, 100% action advance, and 50% CRIT Rate increase. Her Skill becomes “Moon On Glacial River,” the only usable Skill in this state.
- **HP Consumption**: In Spectral Transmigration, attacks consume 5% of teammates’ Max HP (minimum 1 HP).
- **Moonlight Stacks**: Gained when allies take DMG or consume HP, each stack increasing CRIT DMG by 45% (up to 5 stacks).
- **Syzygy**: Can stack up to 4 times.

### Rewards
- **Stellar Jades**: Earn **80 Stellar Jades** by completing all character trial stages.
- **Other Rewards**: May include Self-Modeling Resin and Tracks of Destiny, though not explicitly detailed.

### Additional Notes
- **Testing and Feedback**: Test enhanced characters to evaluate new kits, which may require different Relics or Light Cones. Feedback is encouraged as this is the first Novaflare wave.
- **Fate/Stay Night Collaboration**: Version 3.4 includes a Fate collaboration with events like “Sweet Dreams and the Holy Grail,” introducing characters like Archer (free via login) and Saber, running concurrently with Novaflare.
- **Quality-of-Life Updates**: Version 3.4 adds Dialogue Skip, Story Summary, and a new Relic Recommendation system, enhancing the event experience.

### Recommendations
- **Participate Early**: Clear trial stages for the 80 Stellar Jades and test enhanced characters to decide on builds or pulls.
- **Check Enhancements**: Review before/after comparisons in the Character Details interface, especially for Blade and Jingliu’s HP-based scaling.
- **Explore Other Events**: Combine Novaflare with other Version 3.4 events like Origami Bird Clash or the Fate collaboration for maximum rewards.
