Honkai Star Rail 4.7 Jingyuan, Acheron and Dan Heng IL Buffs Leaks – Best EX Eidolon To Pick

Honkai Star Rail 4.7 Jingyuan, Acheron and Dan Heng IL Buffs Leaks – Which Ex Eidolons To Pick

What Is The EX Eidolons System

Being introduced in Honkai Star Rail Version 4.7 Update, the EX Eidolons system is a brand new special system designed to buff up old out of meta characters in the game in a very direct way: by giving them an extra Eidolons level with extra buff effects.

The EX Eidolon system can be directly accessed in the characters’ menu and serves as a separate Eidolons that can be directly unlocked without needing to unlock the first 6 Eidolons of a character. To unlock the EX Eidolons, players will need to spend a special currency known as an Affinitive Eidolon that is unique to that specific character and can’t be used on any other characters even if they have access to the EX Eidolons system. Upon unlocking their EX Eidolon, the character will immediately gain additional effects to their skill kit depending on their EX Eidolon effect, enhancing their damage output and overall usability in the game’s meta.

The Ex Eidolon system is only available for specific characters at a time and will be expanded the more the game goes on, allowing players a way to strengthen old characters into somewhat playable meta characters upon unlocking the system for them. 

For the first introduction of the EX Eidolon system, 3 characters will be getting their EX Eidolons in Honkai Star Rail 4.7 Update Patch: The 5-Star Lightning Erudition character Jingyuan, The 5-Star Lightning Nihility Character Acheron and the 5-Star Imaginary Destruction character Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae or Dan Heng IL.

Jingyuan EX Eidolon Buff

The EX Eidolon effect for Jingyuan is as followed:

The Max Hits Per Action for “Lightning-Lord” increases by 20. When Lightning-Lord’s Hits Per Action reach the limit, it immediately takes action. At the start of combat and after every 1 time(s) Lightning-Lord takes action, Lightning-Lord is enhanced, granting Jing Yuan a 200% DMG Boost. When he uses his Skill/Ultimate, “Lightning-Lord” Hits Per Action increases by an extra 6/12, lasting for 4 turn(s).

Analysis: This EX Eidolons effect massively boosted Jingyuan’s Lightning Lord damage output while also fixing some of his most pressing issues.

The EX Eidolons increase the Lightning Lord’s damage by increasing its hit count from 10 to a massive 30 times, allowing it to hit multiple enemies to the maximum of 30 times. Not only that, it also helps increase Jingyuan’s own damage output after it has attacked and also allows Jingyuan to grant it additional hit counts whenever he uses his Skill and Ultimate.

More crucially, the EX Eidolon fixes Lightning Lord’s most pressing issue by allowing the Lightning Lord to immediately take action whenever it reaches maximum hit count. This completely removes the drawback of Lightning Lord’s speed dependent effect and allows players to focus on using Jingyuan to supply the Lightning Lord with as many Hit Counts as possible and not worry about Lightning Lord not taking action.

Pick Rating: 10/10. An EX Eidolon That Fixes All The Most Important Issues With Jingyuan And Massively Improves Jingyuan’s Meta Standing.

This EX Eidolon immediately elevates Jing Yuan back into the game’s meta as it fixes all of his most pressing issues and even massively boost his damage output, allowing him to become a way more usable and powerful AoE DPS character in the game.

Acheron EX Eidolon Buff

The EX Eidolon effect for Acheron is as followed:

When a teammate attacks an enemy target with “Crimson Knot,” Acheron deals 1 instance of Lightning Additional DMG equal to 100% of this unit’s ATK to the target and launches a Follow-Up ATK, dealing Lightning DMG equal to 900% of Acheron’s ATK to all enemies, then gains 1 point(s) of Slashed Dream and inflicts 1 stack(s) of “Crimson Knot” on the enemy target with the most “Crimson Knot.” This effect can trigger up to 1 time(s) per turn. The trigger count resets at the start of Acheron’s turn.

Analysis: This EX Eidolons allows Acheron to deal more damage to enemies and gains her Ultimate charges quicker by granting her an ability to deal Follow Up Attack outside of her turn.

Acheron’s EX Eidolons buff is relatively simple to understand and is also extremely simple in practice: whenever an ally attacks the enemy, Acheron will launch a follow up attack against all enemies and deal Electric damage to them, inflicting 1 stack of her debuff onto the enemies with the most debuff stacks and gains 1 stack of her Ultimate. 

This Eidolon helps to improve Acheron’s damage output outside of her turn and also allows her to gain her Ultimate quicker.

Pick Rating: 5/10. An Overall Improvement For Acheron But Not Significant Enough.

In theory, this EX Eidolon is decently good for Acheron as it not only allows her to have an extra damage source but also allows her to gain her Ultimate charges quicker. However, the main problem with this buff lies in its restriction: This effect can trigger up to 1 time(s) per turn. The trigger count resets at the start of Acheron’s turn.

This means that unless Acheron can take her turn, this effect can only be triggered once, at most allows Acheron to deal decent damage to enemies for a single instance and only allows her to gain at most 2 stacks of her Ultimate. While this is still very good, it is not a significant enough improvement to her kit unless players have high investment levels on her previously. Therefore, players should only choose to unlock this if they have good investment levels on Acheron or if they really like to use her.

Dan Heng IL EX Eidolon Buff

The EX Eidolon effect for Dan Heng IL is as followed:

Increases the Squama Sacrosancta limit by 1. For every 5 Skill Point(s) consumed by allies, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae launches a Follow-Up ATK, increasing DMG dealt by this unit by 200%, lasting for 3 turns. Then, deals Imaginary DMG equal to 400% of Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae’s ATK to all enemies, and this unit gains 1 Squama Sacrosancta.

Analysis: Dan Heng IL’s EX Eidolons helps to improves his overall damage output and damage rotation by increasing his Squama Sacrosancta limit and allows him to deal extra Follow Up Attacks whenever 5 Skill Points are consumed in addition to granting him a boost in damage and extra Squama Sacrosancta.

This buff allows Dan Heng IL to be less reliant on SP supply characters in general, as Squama Sacrosancta stacks acts as Skill Point for him to use his enhanced Skill to the maximum level with ease. Not only that, this EX Eidolon also allows him to deal damage outside of his own turn and if the team can consume a lot of SP at the same time, allowing him to constantly deal Follow Up Attacks against enemies and enhances his own damage output.

Pick Rating: 8/10. A Good Damage And Rotation Buff to Dan Heng IL To Turn Him Into A Decent Sub/ Main DPS In SP Teams

Generally speaking, this buff helps to improve Dan Heng IL’s overall damage output and damage rotation by a lot, helping him to gain back his footing as a DPS character in the modern meta. However, this buff can only be optimized if he is in a team that can constantly generate and consume large amounts of SP, with allies like Archer, Sparxie and Sparkle being almost mandatory if players want to maximize Dan Heng IL’s new damage output and effects. 

Therefore, if players have a decently built SP team, bringing Dan Heng IL to be the team’s main or sub DPS with this new buff is quite recommended. If not, however, it is not worth using him and his new EX Eidolon buff by himself without good support.
