How to beat Bronya easily in Honkai Star Rail

The heir to Belobog’s Supreme Guardian, Bronya, can be a formidable opponent for an under-prepared player. Fortunately, with some tips, one should have no problem defeating her:

1) This particular boss fight in Honkai Star Rail takes place in two phases. The first one will have your team facing three Silvermane Soldiers. Deal with them quickly, making sure to exploit their Weakness breaks and dish out massive damage using AoE (area of effect) attacks.

2) Silvermane Soldiers can apply Bleed to your units, making you lose HP over time. If that happens, make haste.

3) Clear out the first wave to trigger a cutscene, after which Bronya appears. This boss will be accompanied by two additional soldiers. Make sure to go after them first to have an easier time focusing on Bronya later.

4) Exploit the soldiers' weaknesses and finish them off. Now, go after Bronya. Keep in mind that she can call in additional reinforcements whenever her soldiers are down.

5) Since Bronya has no weaknesses, employing a pure-DPS approach is recommended. Using the protagonist’s attacks on her after casting an ultimate ability can cause her to lose her Weakness immunity, making her vulnerable to Fire and Physical attacks.

6) Bronya can deal high single-target damage, so make sure to bring along March 7th to cast a defensive shield using her unique skill. Additionally, this character's ultimate ability is a great way to freeze Bronya and her minions to buy some extra turns.

7) The general strategy to use against this boss is to whittle down her Break bar until she is rendered immobile and then spam powerful attacks to chip off her HP. One thing to remember, however, is that Bronya can follow up her usual single attack with an extra action, dealing consecutive damage.

8) Bronya will not go down without a fight and can revert to having no Weaknesses once she recovers her Break bar. Follow the same strategy as before to inflict Weaknesses on her.

The fight will conclude when her HP drops to 1%, after which a short cutscene will follow.
