Dr. Ratio E1 vs S1 in Honkai Star Rail: Which one should you pull?

Players can pull for Dr. Ratio and his 5-star signature Light Cone in Phase Two of Honkai Star Rail version 3.2. Although this 5-star character is quite old, he still excels in one of the popular playstyles. Since Dr. Ratio was given away for free when he was released, most of the player base already has a copy of the unit. Therefore, those looking to boost this follow-up attack character’s efficiency might wonder whether they should pull for his signature weapon or first Eidolon.

If you want to boost your Dr. Ratio’s efficiency to the maximum level without spending much Stellar Jades, then pull for his signature Light Cone, Baptism of Pure Thought. Take a look at the following section to learn more about this matter.

Should you get Dr. Ratio’s E1 or S1 in Honkai Star Rail version 3.2?

If you are thinking of pulling for Dr. Ratio’s S1 or E1 during the second phase of Honkai Star Rail version 3.2, get his signature Light Cone. When comparing both, this 5-star character’s signature weapon holds more value than his Eidolon.

Firstly, Dr. Ratio’s E1 increases the Summation stacks he can hold at a time. Summation is one of the Traces that this character wields, which boosts his CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG. While both of these stats can boost this unit’s damage by a significant amount, you can just pair him with a good buffer for damage output.

On the other hand, Dr. Ratio’s signature weapon can increase his CRIT DMG and damage output simultaneously. Moreover, it allows his FUA to ignore the opponent’s DEF. While the CRIT DMG and damage boost from this item will benefit the character, it turns Dr. Ratio’s follow-up attacks lethal.

Thus, we recommend pulling for Baptism of Pure Thought in the second phase of Honkai Star Rail 3.2.
