Here is a quick overview of Rappa’s abilities in Honkai Star Rail. This includes her basic attack, skill, ultimate, talent, technic, and bonus trace abilities and stats.

  • Basic Attack (Ninjutsu: Rise Above Tumbles): Deals Imaginary damage to one enemy based on Rappa’s Attack.
  • Enhanced Basic Attack (Ningu: Dembane Petalblade): When she launches this attack, the first 2 hits deal Blast Imaginary Damage based on her Attack and the the 3rd hit deals AoE Imaginary Damage. When attacking enemies without Imaginary Weakness, this attack can still deal Toughness Reduction to the enemies, but at a 50% lesser value, and triggering Weakness Break this way triggers the Imaginary Weakness Break Effect. Her Enhanced Basic attacks don’t recover Skill Points.
  • Skill (Ninja Strike: Rooted Resolute): Deals AoE Imaginary damage to enemies based on Rappa’s Attack.
  • Ultimate (Nindō Supreme: Aishiteru): Rappa enters the Sealform state immediately gaining 1 extra turn and obtaining 3 points of Chroma Ink, which increases Weakness Break Efficiency by 50% and Break Effect. While in this state, Rappa’s Basic Attack becomes enhanced and her Ultimate and Skill become locked. When Rappa uses an Enhanced Attack, she consumes 1 point of Chroma Ink and after all points are depleted, she exits the Sealform state.
  • Talent (Ninja Tech: Endurance Gauge): When enemy targets have their Weakness Broken, Rappa deals Break Damage equal to a percentage of her Imaginary Break damage to them, which Bounces 2 times additionally. Each instance of damage deals a 10 Toughness reduction, regardless of the Weakness Type to random enemies. The Toughness reduction effect only works on enemies with Toughness greater than 0 and the added instances of Damage prioritize enemies with Toughness Reduction greater than 0.
  • Technique (Ninja Dash: By Leaps and Bounds): Enters the Graffiti state for 20 seconds and while in this state, moves forward rapidly for a set distance and attacks any enemies touched. She blocks all incoming attacks and using an attack in the Graffiti state can end it pre-emptively.

  • E1 (Returned Is the Revenant With No Ferry Toll): When using Ultimate to enter the Sealform state, damage dealt by Rappa ignores 15% of the target’s Defense and additionally Rappa regenerates 20 Energy when she exits this state.
  • E2 (Free Is the Mind Enlightened by Haikus): The Toughness Reduction of the first 2 hits of the Enhanced Basic Attack against the one designated enemy increases by 50%.
  • E3 (Many Are the Shrines That Repel No Hell): Skill Level + 2, up to Level 15 max, Talent Level + 2, up to Level 15 max.
  • E4 (Lost Is the Nindō Devoured by Time): Increases the Speed of all allies by 12% while in the Sealform state.
  • E5 (Steady is the Ranger With Unerring Arrows):
  • E6 (Righteous Is the Wrath That Spares No Evil ): The Talent Break Damage multiplier increases by 500% on the enemy target that triggered it, and the number of additional instances of Damage increases by 5.

The Eidolons of Rappa are quite strong, both increasing her and her allies’ abilities. Her E1 allows her to ignore Enemy Defenses by 15% when she is in Sealform state, giving a massive damage boost. Rappa’s E2 helps her weakness break enemies much quicker, which is already quick with her base kit. Her E4 increases the speed of all allies by 12% while Rappa is in Sealform state, which is a really good teamwide buff. Finally, her E6 gives a ridiculous increase to her Talent Break Damage multiplayer, also increasing the damage instances by 5. Overall, her E1 is definitely worth getting, and her other Eidolons are more overkill for her kit.
