Honkai Star Rail 4.4 Currency Wars Update – Best Strategies to Clear The Gamemode

Now that we have gone over the majority of the changes for the Currency Wars gamemode in Honkai Star Rail 4.4 Update Patch, here are some of the new strategies players can use to best clear the gamemode and achieve high rankings:

Astral Express Core Bond

With the introduction of Himeko Nova and Himeko being added to the Expert Advisor tag in addition to the buffs to the Astral Express Bond, using the Astral Express as the core clear Strategy is a very good idea as you can mix and match several different bond effects as well thanks to Himeko Nova’s effect.

To start this strategy, players will need to select the Investment Environment that either gives players Himeko as the Expert Advisor, the strategy that increases the chance of Astral Express Member appearing in the shop alongside giving players Himeko Nova at the start or the investment strategy that gives players the Astral Express Emblem at the start.

Once players have obtained these investment strategies, focus on getting Himeko Nova as soon as possible in addition to other Astral Express Members, as Himeko Nova will be the core of the entire team. Use Himeko Nova’s Navigator’s effect to copy Trailblazer’s Bond effect, allowing her to be counted as both an Energy and Elation based character. From there, players can mix and match this strategy with other characters from the Energy or Elation Bonds to boost the damage output of HImeko Nova as the team’s main DPS.

Getting Himeko Nova to as high star rating as possible is very important, as well as getting equipment on as many Astral Express Members as possible when able to. Getting Welt in the team is also a very crucial part as he is capable of delaying the turn timer, allowing the team to clear the stages easier in addition to being a core member of the Astral Express Strategy,

Holy Grail of Destiny Core Bond

Alongside the release of Rin Tohsaka and Gilgamesh, as well as the upgrades to Saber and Archer, players can use these characters together to clear the gamemode easily if they can complete the Holy Grail Missions and obtain the corect special Equipments.

To start this strategy, players will need to pick the investment environment that either boost the drop rate of Holy Grail of Destiny Characters, the environment that grants the Holy Grail of Destiny Emblem, or the environment that grants a 2-star Starter 5-Cost Character that rolls into Archer.

Once this is completed, players have 2 main ways to play this team: Skill Point or Energy, with Rin Tohsaka being the core for the Skill Pointy strategy, while Saber being the core for the Energy strategy. Upon activating the Holy Grail of Destiny Bond, players should pick the missions that can grant the team the special unique equipment for the Fate characters, including the Jewel Sword, Enuma Elish, Avalon, etc. These equipments when equipped on the Fate characters will provide them with a massive boost in their effects and will sometimes even guaranteed the players to win.

It is important that note that there is an additional way for players to win easily with this bond and that is to complete the Final Grail Mission, granting the players the Holy Grail Equipment. When equipped, this equipment practically wins you the game with its extremely high stat and powerful effects.
