Honkai Star Rail 1.6's second phase will commence shortly, marking the debut of Dr. Ratio as a 5-star character from the Imaginary roster. Being associated with The Hunt Path, he possesses the ability to unleash massive single-target nukes that are ideal for taking down elite enemies and bosses. Besides, very few DPS units have access to the fluid follow-up attack mechanics that he does. These serve as his primary source of damage.

Considering that HoYoverse will give away a free copy of Dr. Ratio in version 1.6, many players will try to employ him for various team compositions. Thanks to the official reveal of his abilities, they can plan out their compositions ahead of his release.

This article outlines Dr. Ratio’s kit and further explores the lore-centric details provided by HoYoverse.


Dr. Ratio’s abilities in Honkai Star Rail

Dr. Ratio will take on the role of a primary DPS across various teams in Honkai Star Rail. Here is a glimpse of his arsenal of abilities and everything he has to offer during combat.

  • Basic ATK: Dr. Ratio deals Imaginary DMG on a single enemy equal to 100% of his ATK.
  • Skill: Inflicts 150% of his ATK as Imaginary DMG on a target.
  • Ultimate: Launches Imaginary DMG equal to 240% of Dr. Ratio’s ATK on an opponent, applying the Wiseman's Folly to them. When he or an ally attacks an opponent afflicted with the status effect, he immediately unleashes a follow-up ATK. Wiseman's Folly can be triggered up to two times and only activates on the most recent target.
  • Talent: Dr. Ratio has a 40% fixed chance to launch a follow-up after activating his Skill, which deals 270% of his ATK as Imaginary DMG on an enemy. The fixed chances for this mechanic increase by 20% for each debuff the target possesses. When they are defeated, he launches the follow-up ATK on a random opponent.
  • Technique: Creates a dimension for 10 seconds, taunting nearby enemies. Their SPD is reduced by 15% for two turns upon entering battle.

All in all, Dr. Ratio has been designed as a follow-up ATK DPS, and players should focus on enhancing this particular aspect of his gameplay to make the most of him during combat.

According to the official lore, Dr. Ratio is a member of the Intelligentsia Guild, a faction in Honkai Star Rail that recruits any being from the Universe as long as they seek knowledge.
